0:00:21.204 --> 0:00:26.885
<v Speaker 2>The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:27.805 --> 0:00:29.565
<v Speaker 1>You probably were how radio works.

0:00:30.285 --> 0:00:32.604
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that you've read about all the goings on

0:00:32.645 --> 0:00:35.085
<v Speaker 2>the moment with Carl and Jackie O. It's dominated the

0:00:35.085 --> 0:00:37.765
<v Speaker 2>news headlines all of last week and for the last

0:00:37.805 --> 0:00:38.565
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, and.

0:00:38.604 --> 0:00:40.445
<v Speaker 1>Obviously we are a breakfast show as well.

0:00:40.485 --> 0:00:43.645
<v Speaker 2>On as of January this year, this show is in

0:00:43.725 --> 0:00:47.645
<v Speaker 2>all five cities. We are Australia's first ever national commercial

0:00:47.725 --> 0:00:48.445
<v Speaker 2>breakfast show.

0:00:48.845 --> 0:00:50.964
<v Speaker 1>And last week was a big moment because it was.

0:00:50.964 --> 0:00:55.045
<v Speaker 2>The first radio ratings of the year, and in this

0:00:55.165 --> 0:01:02.325
<v Speaker 2>country radio ratings are hysterical, ridiculous. I still can't believe

0:01:02.365 --> 0:01:05.805
<v Speaker 2>it's actually reported as news in the UK. It's just

0:01:06.005 --> 0:01:09.045
<v Speaker 2>news for radio nerds. And then I'm moved here and

0:01:09.085 --> 0:01:11.405
<v Speaker 2>it was actually on. It was actually on the TV

0:01:11.565 --> 0:01:14.365
<v Speaker 2>news I saw. I remember the first couple of months

0:01:14.405 --> 0:01:16.445
<v Speaker 2>of the show here in twenty eighteen. I was just

0:01:16.485 --> 0:01:18.645
<v Speaker 2>watching the TV news and I suddenly saw my face

0:01:19.245 --> 0:01:21.285
<v Speaker 2>and there was a graph that was not going up

0:01:21.445 --> 0:01:23.685
<v Speaker 2>to the right I don't know whether I had it

0:01:23.725 --> 0:01:26.725
<v Speaker 2>upside down the TV company, but was going down down

0:01:26.845 --> 0:01:28.925
<v Speaker 2>down to the mom right. And there's a picture of

0:01:28.965 --> 0:01:33.325
<v Speaker 2>me with the headline expensive foreign import, as if I

0:01:33.365 --> 0:01:35.165
<v Speaker 2>was some sort of as if I was a car,

0:01:35.405 --> 0:01:40.045
<v Speaker 2>like a beautiful Silk or Jaguar, Jaguar or Ross Royce.

0:01:40.405 --> 0:01:41.685
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that was nothing.

0:01:42.325 --> 0:01:43.485
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a lot of the time, and

0:01:43.525 --> 0:01:47.565
<v Speaker 2>it was and saw the hysterical reaction. The team all

0:01:47.645 --> 0:01:50.765
<v Speaker 2>saw this, our family saw it. Friends of mine had

0:01:50.845 --> 0:01:53.885
<v Speaker 2>been clipping shots and sending it to me just to

0:01:53.925 --> 0:01:56.685
<v Speaker 2>give you an idea, so of what happened. So Melbourne,

0:01:56.845 --> 0:02:00.285
<v Speaker 2>we're sitting strong in Melbourne. In Sydney, obviously, the ratings

0:02:00.285 --> 0:02:02.525
<v Speaker 2>that came out last week were for the first six

0:02:02.645 --> 0:02:06.365
<v Speaker 2>weeks of our show and all the breakfast shows in Sydney.

0:02:06.685 --> 0:02:08.925
<v Speaker 2>The reason why we're focusing on Sydney at the moment.

0:02:09.205 --> 0:02:11.245
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, we're in all the cities, but

0:02:11.325 --> 0:02:14.204
<v Speaker 2>Sydney right now is wide open because of what's happened

0:02:14.205 --> 0:02:16.805
<v Speaker 2>with Carne and Jackio. So it is crazy. It's like

0:02:16.845 --> 0:02:20.285
<v Speaker 2>a it's like a mad rush right now in Sydney

0:02:20.285 --> 0:02:22.725
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of available listeners. So it really was

0:02:22.725 --> 0:02:24.725
<v Speaker 2>a big deal in radio and the news last week

0:02:24.925 --> 0:02:28.765
<v Speaker 2>about the first ever ratings for two thousand and twenty six,

0:02:29.165 --> 0:02:31.125
<v Speaker 2>and we came in as a brand new show. I've

0:02:31.125 --> 0:02:33.765
<v Speaker 2>only been on air for six weeks, thirty odd shows.

0:02:34.205 --> 0:02:36.725
<v Speaker 2>We came in at number four. You would have thought

0:02:36.725 --> 0:02:39.245
<v Speaker 2>that I'd come in at number four hundred and forty four.

0:02:39.805 --> 0:02:45.765
<v Speaker 2>Here's some of the headlines, radio Star suffers brutal ratings collapse.

0:02:46.285 --> 0:02:48.364
<v Speaker 2>Then they paired it with a photo I've never seen

0:02:48.405 --> 0:02:52.205
<v Speaker 2>before of me looking to be honest Britney spears demented.

0:02:53.085 --> 0:02:55.125
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where they found that photo, but it

0:02:55.165 --> 0:02:57.845
<v Speaker 2>was an appropriate photo for a man who suffered an

0:02:57.885 --> 0:03:01.245
<v Speaker 2>apparent when he teas collapse. The other one that I

0:03:01.285 --> 0:03:02.925
<v Speaker 2>loved with a friend of mine, I don't even know

0:03:02.965 --> 0:03:05.965
<v Speaker 2>how he found it was the main news What was

0:03:06.005 --> 0:03:10.045
<v Speaker 2>the main news website in Indianee And on the main

0:03:10.085 --> 0:03:13.245
<v Speaker 2>news website was a picture of me with the headline

0:03:13.485 --> 0:03:16.365
<v Speaker 2>radio veterans ratings bomb.

0:03:17.445 --> 0:03:19.605
<v Speaker 1>What's it got to do with Indonesia?

0:03:19.645 --> 0:03:21.325
<v Speaker 2>But as we say in radio, if you can make

0:03:21.365 --> 0:03:27.605
<v Speaker 2>it in Chakata, you can make it anywhere. It's early days, okay,

0:03:28.285 --> 0:03:30.605
<v Speaker 2>And actually I think you know what coming in Strong

0:03:30.645 --> 0:03:33.165
<v Speaker 2>at number four. You imagine back in the day, you

0:03:33.285 --> 0:03:36.605
<v Speaker 2>listen to Casey Cassim, you're recording your top ten countdown.

0:03:36.605 --> 0:03:39.365
<v Speaker 2>Then there's a hot new entry for Spandel Bali or

0:03:39.405 --> 0:03:42.325
<v Speaker 2>Wham at number four. It's a big deal. So I

0:03:42.365 --> 0:03:45.765
<v Speaker 2>think this is a strong Stark. Guys and the Boss

0:03:45.885 --> 0:03:48.525
<v Speaker 2>had a big chat with me over the weekend, and

0:03:48.565 --> 0:03:50.685

<v Speaker 2>kinds of word playing, word magic to try and sell

0:06:07.765 --> 0:06:11.445
<v Speaker 2>the show to new and possible listeners in Sydney. And

0:06:11.525 --> 0:06:14.004
<v Speaker 2>I think the best people that we should ask to

0:06:14.085 --> 0:06:15.085
<v Speaker 2>help really with that.

0:06:15.125 --> 0:06:15.724
<v Speaker 1>Is you, guys.

0:06:15.765 --> 0:06:17.724
<v Speaker 2>If you listen to the show and you keep coming

0:06:17.724 --> 0:06:21.044
<v Speaker 2>back to us, why how would you sell this show?

0:06:21.284 --> 0:06:22.284
<v Speaker 1>In one line?

0:06:22.685 --> 0:06:24.604
<v Speaker 2>Someone who might be listening to us right now in Sydney,

0:06:24.604 --> 0:06:27.085
<v Speaker 2>you're flicking around over the next week or two as

0:06:27.085 --> 0:06:29.605
<v Speaker 2>they are looking for a brand new radio show. It's

0:06:29.645 --> 0:06:31.845
<v Speaker 2>hard to actually for us to actually say what it is.

0:06:31.964 --> 0:06:33.525
<v Speaker 2>It's not for me to say what the show is,

0:06:33.525 --> 0:06:36.525
<v Speaker 2>your takeaway, whatever it is to you, And so I

0:06:36.685 --> 0:06:40.085
<v Speaker 2>genuinely love to know in one line, what is the show?

0:06:40.364 --> 0:06:42.404
<v Speaker 2>How would you describe it? How would you sell it

0:06:42.445 --> 0:06:44.764
<v Speaker 2>to someone in Sydney right now.

0:06:44.604 --> 0:06:46.205
<v Speaker 1>That maybe they're pretty gut it.

0:06:46.245 --> 0:06:47.964
<v Speaker 2>They've lost their breakfast show they've been listening to for

0:06:48.085 --> 0:06:50.404
<v Speaker 2>years and they're flicking around at the moment. Suddenly they

0:06:50.445 --> 0:06:52.964
<v Speaker 2>come across us and they're like, is the Is this

0:06:52.964 --> 0:06:57.724
<v Speaker 2>the guy that Indonesia has turned on right now? And Indonesia, Indonesia,

0:06:57.765 --> 0:06:59.724
<v Speaker 2>don't give up too soon on me, please. I'm hoping

0:06:59.724 --> 0:07:01.725
<v Speaker 2>by the end of the year you'll be erecching our

0:07:01.804 --> 0:07:05.205
<v Speaker 2>statue in my name my friends in Jakarta. I will

0:07:05.245 --> 0:07:08.364
<v Speaker 2>not let you down. We've got this show is good
