Speaker 1: Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

2
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: I am a very big Monday winner. The best news

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: has come my way in the last couple of hours. Actually,

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: my best friend Jamie. Normally I only ever see him

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: every year and a half two years when I go

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: back to the UK. And one of the things I

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: do miss deeply with the move the other side of

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: the world and this is home for me and my

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: family and we're very lucky to have it, is.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: You miss those long, deep friendships. Right.

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: So I last saw my best friend Jamie two years ago.

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: He was kind of my fiftieth you know. I went

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: over to Ireland. He met me in Ireland and we

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: had a great three days inn Iland, Dublin and we

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: saw Springsteen together and it.

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: Was just great and it felt like we were just

17
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: picking up the.

18
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: Conversation because you've got this these deep grooves and you've

19
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: been through a lot together as kids are the same

20
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: age as my daughters, and so we're all going through

21
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: the same stuff in life. You can't beat those old friendships.

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: And even though WhatsApp these days and zoom, it's not the.

23
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Same, especially for men. Terrible at keeping in touch.

24
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, my wife in the US and she talks to

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: them on FaceTime every single day.

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Rolls reversed. No, I don't think is shocking, right.

27
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: I found out through his wife that he was in

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: hospital with the brain aneurysm, right, and I felt so

29
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: bad because we just hadn't caught up in a couple

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: of months, and it was just like, you know.

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: Life's too short.

32
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: So anyway, the reason why I'm buzzing today is he's

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: just taking a job in Singapore.

34
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: Oh.

35
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Now, you might think Singapore is not an hour away.

36
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: It's seven hours away, six minutes thirty. I found the

37
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: quickest flight, it's quicker than twenty three hours away.

38
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: Is round the corner.

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: We described it to me when Christian, Oh see, I'm

40
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: going to be round the corner, and now I'm so

41
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: used to no one being around the corner. Now are

42
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: take in Australia, and how far away we are on

43
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: this other planet? We're on our take six half hours

44
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: as being round the corner.

45
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,760

00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 5: else in Australia, But you know.

Speaker 4: Maths loves It doesn't miss an episode.

57
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,480

Speaker 5: Absolutely?

59
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: I do.

60
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,760

Speaker 1: I sat down, they get the drinks, they know the slacks,

68
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: and it's there that it's game on.

00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: It's not watching the.

70
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: Game, no, no, no, it's like everything is centered and

71
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 4: like everything is around Maths.

72
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,200
