35
00:02:08,044 --> 00:02:13,365
Speaker 3: Oh so summer finally here now, finally here about time.

36
00:02:13,605 --> 00:02:16,765
Speaker 1: Yesterday we finally closed the door on our family home

37
00:02:16,885 --> 00:02:19,285
Speaker 1: since we moved to Australia. Big moment for my wife

38
00:02:19,285 --> 00:02:21,805
Speaker 1: and I when you're suddenly confronted with just a shell.

39
00:02:22,325 --> 00:02:25,285
Speaker 1: It's just a shell, and suddenly your voices already echo

40
00:02:25,405 --> 00:02:28,605
Speaker 1: as well because there's no furniture. There's literally nothing there.

41
00:02:28,885 --> 00:02:31,885
Speaker 1: By the way, my wife said, must have said twenty times,

42
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:33,845
Speaker 1: you don't need to go and check in all the

43
00:02:33,885 --> 00:02:35,885
Speaker 1: drawers and stuff like that. I've been through this house

44
00:02:35,925 --> 00:02:38,325
Speaker 1: a million times. I found a drawer with all of

45
00:02:38,365 --> 00:02:41,845
Speaker 1: our passports. Oh no, so they buy the house and

46
00:02:41,845 --> 00:02:46,365
Speaker 1: our identities, Sarah, what about this lower draw It's the

47
00:02:46,405 --> 00:02:49,125
Speaker 1: same in every hotel we ever stay in. Christ You

48
00:02:49,165 --> 00:02:50,805
Speaker 1: don't need to check all the drawers. It's always that

49
00:02:50,885 --> 00:02:55,285
Speaker 1: lower one. Phone charges in here. Yeah, all of our passports,

50
00:02:55,325 --> 00:02:58,125
Speaker 1: medicaire cards. It was like we were spies. We were

51
00:02:58,125 --> 00:03:01,085
Speaker 1: burning it, all your identities with the new house.

52
00:03:01,205 --> 00:03:03,365
Speaker 4: Oh lucky that you were there, Christian.

53
00:03:03,765 --> 00:03:05,365
Speaker 1: So as we were closed the door and sticking about

54
00:03:05,365 --> 00:03:07,125
Speaker 1: this family home, you know, that's been our home since

55
00:03:07,165 --> 00:03:10,125
Speaker 1: we moved here seven years ago. So much, you know,

56
00:03:10,205 --> 00:03:11,765
Speaker 1: might not sound like a lot for a family home

57
00:03:11,845 --> 00:03:13,725
Speaker 1: to be their seven years, but when you think about

58
00:03:13,765 --> 00:03:16,525
Speaker 1: when we moved here, my daughters were just about to

59
00:03:16,565 --> 00:03:20,045
Speaker 1: become teenagers. They're now nineteen and twenty one. They don't

60
00:03:20,045 --> 00:03:22,605
Speaker 1: live at home with us anymore, they're at university. And

61
00:03:22,645 --> 00:03:24,925
Speaker 1: then there's the two years that everybody lost in Melbourne

62
00:03:24,925 --> 00:03:28,605
Speaker 1: with lockdown as well. A lot has happened in this house.

63
00:03:28,925 --> 00:03:30,845
Speaker 1: And so anyway, as we're saying goodbye to our wife,

64
00:03:30,885 --> 00:03:33,965
Speaker 1: wasn't really really emotional, so I thought, she needs a

65
00:03:34,045 --> 00:03:38,765
Speaker 1: cheering up, she needs a premium steak dinner.

66
00:03:39,005 --> 00:03:39,925
Speaker 4: Oh beautiful.

67
00:03:40,005 --> 00:03:43,085
Speaker 1: I treat my lady right, which is why I've booked

68
00:03:43,085 --> 00:03:45,365
Speaker 1: as a table at Squire's Loft.

69
00:03:45,485 --> 00:03:47,245
Speaker 4: Oh gorgeous.

70
00:03:47,245 --> 00:03:50,725
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's steak and what they also do. Alex,

71
00:03:50,765 --> 00:03:52,485
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever had the honor yet

72
00:03:52,605 --> 00:03:55,245
Speaker 1: since you moved here to go, you've got to get

73
00:03:55,245 --> 00:03:58,045
Speaker 1: that change. You've got to go to Squire's Loft. There's

74
00:03:58,085 --> 00:04:00,445
Speaker 1: something old school about it. Put it this way, right,

75
00:04:00,485 --> 00:04:02,725
Speaker 1: They had a side of a jack of potato. I've

76
00:04:02,765 --> 00:04:04,965
Speaker 1: not seen that on a menu in many, many years,

77
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:08,805
Speaker 1: right since the nineties. I had a ribby steak and

78
00:04:09,405 --> 00:04:13,445
Speaker 1: side instead of a salad of a jacket potato. Yes, drown,

79
00:04:13,645 --> 00:04:17,125
Speaker 1: but oh my god, this incredible old school mushroom sauce

80
00:04:17,885 --> 00:04:21,605
Speaker 1: in one of those silver school canteen boaty things. Oh yeah,

81
00:04:21,885 --> 00:04:22,605
Speaker 1: oh my god.

82
00:04:22,605 --> 00:04:26,164
Speaker 4: It was so good in chips on the side.

83
00:04:26,364 --> 00:04:28,684
Speaker 1: No, the jack of potato was a proper jacket potato.

84
00:04:28,724 --> 00:04:31,404
Speaker 1: Pat You can't double up with cabs? What's up with

85
00:04:31,445 --> 00:04:32,964
Speaker 1: this guy? What do you want to do? Blow up

86
00:04:33,005 --> 00:04:38,005
Speaker 1: for Christmas? And chips? Two jack of potatoes.

87
00:04:39,125 --> 00:04:41,485
Speaker 3: When the state came. Did have all those beautiful criss

88
00:04:41,484 --> 00:04:42,125
Speaker 3: crosses on it.

89
00:04:42,364 --> 00:04:43,445
Speaker 4: Yes, looked from the grill.

90
00:04:43,645 --> 00:04:46,124
Speaker 1: Yes, the lattice affects you has quite an art. Oh

91
00:04:46,164 --> 00:04:48,765
Speaker 1: my god, it was so good. Also, by the way,

92
00:04:48,844 --> 00:04:52,364
Speaker 1: proper old school places this. When I was booking it online,

93
00:04:53,164 --> 00:04:55,325
Speaker 1: you had to agree sort of check the terms conditions.

94
00:04:55,685 --> 00:05:00,325
Speaker 1: We do not allow split tips and good someone has

95
00:05:00,445 --> 00:05:04,445
Speaker 1: kicked off there. They've had too many bogans fighting there

96
00:05:04,604 --> 00:05:07,645
Speaker 1: over the over a split menu of the split bill

97
00:05:07,645 --> 00:05:09,604
Speaker 1: with it to have that in the tees and seas

98
00:05:09,964 --> 00:05:12,484
Speaker 1: says that this is a thing. Also, everybody else that

99
00:05:12,565 --> 00:05:15,964
Speaker 1: was there last night Wednesday night Christmas parties, of course

100
00:05:16,885 --> 00:05:19,804
Speaker 1: it was full of like long tables and some dull

101
00:05:19,844 --> 00:05:23,365
Speaker 1: guy getting up obviously the boss doing these speeches that

102
00:05:23,404 --> 00:05:27,645
Speaker 1: no one was listening to. Oh my god, it was

103
00:05:27,844 --> 00:05:30,284
Speaker 1: so good. Now, one thing in the move at the

104
00:05:30,284 --> 00:05:33,124
Speaker 1: moment this week I'm worried about is obviously our life

105
00:05:33,205 --> 00:05:35,085
Speaker 1: is this couple boxes and counsel. At the moment, I

106
00:05:35,164 --> 00:05:38,484
Speaker 1: have forgotten where I'm worried that I've actually lost in

107
00:05:38,525 --> 00:05:42,604
Speaker 1: the move. The Christmas presents. You know, I think most

108
00:05:42,645 --> 00:05:44,685
Speaker 1: of us have a go to place. Don't we are

109
00:05:44,724 --> 00:05:48,005
Speaker 1: hiding place. Yes, I don't know that we've only you

110
00:05:48,044 --> 00:05:49,765
Speaker 1: know it's only our third night in the new place.

111
00:05:49,844 --> 00:05:51,765
Speaker 1: Last night, I don't know the new hiding place. I

112
00:05:51,804 --> 00:05:55,645
Speaker 1: don't even know where the presents are. They're so well hidden.

113
00:05:55,724 --> 00:05:57,325
Speaker 1: I don't know where they are. Where do you hide

114
00:05:57,325 --> 00:05:57,724
Speaker 1: the bets?

115
00:05:57,804 --> 00:05:58,685
Speaker 4: I do it all the time.

116
00:05:58,765 --> 00:06:00,605
Speaker 3: At the moment, I have got them in the car

117
00:06:00,724 --> 00:06:04,804
Speaker 3: boot because I'll tell you why, Because Chris and Audrey

118
00:06:04,844 --> 00:06:08,124
Speaker 3: always sniffed them out, and so I thought they'll never

119
00:06:08,164 --> 00:06:11,364
Speaker 3: look in the car boot. And I am notorious for

120
00:06:11,445 --> 00:06:14,204
Speaker 3: doing that as well. Where I will hide a present,

121
00:06:14,445 --> 00:06:17,245
Speaker 3: where I will you know no one will find it.

122
00:06:17,325 --> 00:06:19,964
Speaker 3: I'll know exactly where it is, only I forget where

123
00:06:19,964 --> 00:06:23,724
Speaker 3: it is. I found an old rocking horse that we'd

124
00:06:23,765 --> 00:06:26,005
Speaker 3: got for Audrey when she was about eighteen months old,

125
00:06:26,044 --> 00:06:28,244
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you, in a car boot up in

126
00:06:28,364 --> 00:06:31,885
Speaker 3: the roof space and that's creasey. She was like eight

127
00:06:32,005 --> 00:06:34,645
Speaker 3: or nine at the time. And I thought, oh, that's right,

128
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:36,725
Speaker 3: we got her a rocking horse that Christmas. She never

129
00:06:36,765 --> 00:06:38,205
Speaker 3: got it because you.

130
00:06:38,284 --> 00:06:40,724
Speaker 1: Forgot about a misplaced and in time, those rocky horses

131
00:06:40,765 --> 00:06:41,645
Speaker 1: are huge.

132
00:06:41,525 --> 00:06:44,804
Speaker 3: Totally forgot about it, this beautiful handmade rocking horse that

133
00:06:44,844 --> 00:06:47,525
Speaker 3: we got at this sort of bespoke market when she

134
00:06:47,645 --> 00:06:48,044
Speaker 3: was little.

135
00:06:48,284 --> 00:06:50,164
Speaker 4: I thought, oh, I sure love that. Totally forgot we

136
00:06:50,205 --> 00:06:51,964
Speaker 4: had it, found it up in the roof space.

137
00:06:52,205 --> 00:06:53,045
Speaker 1: Did you give it to her now?

138
00:06:53,364 --> 00:06:53,404
Speaker 5: No?

139
00:06:53,565 --> 00:06:55,805
Speaker 4: No, I got it.

140
00:06:55,885 --> 00:07:00,124
Speaker 1: Teenagers do not want They would probably still light the

141
00:07:00,205 --> 00:07:02,044
Speaker 1: rocking horse, but they won't be want to be seen

142
00:07:02,125 --> 00:07:03,364
Speaker 1: to asking for a rocking horse.

143
00:07:03,445 --> 00:07:05,804
Speaker 4: No, but I do it all the time.

144
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:07,485
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to put in a really safe

145
00:07:07,525 --> 00:07:11,085
Speaker 3: space so I don't lose it, but inevitably I totally forget.

146
00:07:11,085 --> 00:07:12,925
Speaker 1: Where are Yeah, I'm still waying from a Christmas present

147
00:07:12,925 --> 00:07:14,965
Speaker 1: that my wife has had hidden for three years. And

148
00:07:15,085 --> 00:07:16,605
Speaker 1: as we were leaving the house last night, I went,

149
00:07:16,605 --> 00:07:17,965
Speaker 1: at some point, when they move in, they're going to

150
00:07:18,045 --> 00:07:20,085
Speaker 1: find that shirt you got me three years ago that

151
00:07:20,165 --> 00:07:21,205
Speaker 1: I've never ever had.

152
00:07:21,765 --> 00:07:25,005
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

153
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,205
Speaker 1: Christian, where do I hide the Christmas presents? I have

154
00:07:27,245 --> 00:07:30,565
Speaker 1: a fake hamper with dirty clothes. I bury the presence

155
00:07:30,845 --> 00:07:34,645
Speaker 1: under the dirty clothes. Safe. Bet the kids will never

156
00:07:34,685 --> 00:07:37,244
Speaker 1: go anywhere near it. Then that's genius. They're never gonna

157
00:07:37,245 --> 00:07:40,245
Speaker 1: hampty that wash them Christian. My mate hid all the

158
00:07:40,285 --> 00:07:43,965
Speaker 1: presents in his car boots like Patsy did his car

159
00:07:44,045 --> 00:07:44,765
Speaker 1: got stolen.

160
00:07:45,285 --> 00:07:46,364
Speaker 4: Don't tell me that.

161
00:07:46,364 --> 00:07:51,525
Speaker 1: I kissed a guy who started good a Christmas bonus, Christian.

162
00:07:51,525 --> 00:07:53,205
Speaker 1: My dad used to hide the Christmas presents at the

163
00:07:53,245 --> 00:07:55,365
Speaker 1: top of his cupboard. Once we figured out, he said, well,

164
00:07:55,364 --> 00:07:56,885
Speaker 1: if you want to ruin the surprise, go for it.

165
00:07:57,085 --> 00:08:00,925
Speaker 1: I'm not finding another place. That's a proper old school dad,

166
00:08:00,965 --> 00:08:04,005
Speaker 1: isn't it where they just worked out what's the least

167
00:08:04,045 --> 00:08:06,085
Speaker 1: amount of effort I could put into being a dad.

168
00:08:07,045 --> 00:08:09,244
Speaker 1: I chat to my dad now and I can see

169
00:08:09,285 --> 00:08:11,405
Speaker 1: him judging me, like, oh, you know, I'm worried about this,

170
00:08:11,485 --> 00:08:13,525
Speaker 1: and I'm doing this for the girls and I'm worried

171
00:08:13,525 --> 00:08:15,525
Speaker 1: about that. I can see him just thinking, you're doing

172
00:08:15,525 --> 00:08:17,205
Speaker 1: it all right. So, Dad, I think you were a

173
00:08:17,285 --> 00:08:19,725
Speaker 1: dad like in the eighties when it was the easiest

174
00:08:19,725 --> 00:08:23,845
Speaker 1: time to be a dad. Yes, literally the bare minimum minimum.

175
00:08:24,245 --> 00:08:25,925
Speaker 1: It was constantly go and talk to you mum about that.

176
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:27,445
Speaker 1: I don't know, go and ask your mum about that.

177
00:08:27,485 --> 00:08:28,805
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever even asked my dad to

178
00:08:28,845 --> 00:08:31,364
Speaker 1: help with homework or any school projects, because it would

179
00:08:31,405 --> 00:08:31,845
Speaker 1: have been odd.

180
00:08:31,925 --> 00:08:34,885
Speaker 3: You know Dad's now, it's so beautiful, how how involved

181
00:08:34,965 --> 00:08:35,485
Speaker 3: dads are.

182
00:08:35,925 --> 00:08:38,925
Speaker 1: And it's not because you want to be involved. That's

183
00:08:38,925 --> 00:08:41,165
Speaker 1: why you have kids is to enjoy. You know, there's

184
00:08:41,165 --> 00:08:43,045
Speaker 1: so much pressure on parents that to be the perfect parent.

185
00:08:43,165 --> 00:08:45,325
Speaker 1: The most important thing is to enjoy having kids.

186
00:08:46,125 --> 00:08:48,005
Speaker 6: That's why you bought in books and then through the

187
00:08:48,005 --> 00:08:49,925
Speaker 6: rest of Christmas Day you just sit there reading books

188
00:08:49,925 --> 00:08:50,525
Speaker 6: all afternoon.

189
00:08:50,605 --> 00:08:53,765
Speaker 1: Yes, do something. Now, what have you done about Hardy

190
00:08:53,765 --> 00:08:56,365
Speaker 1: because you got three young kids? Yes, Christian, So what

191
00:08:56,405 --> 00:08:58,125
Speaker 1: are you doing about the presents? Have you got them yet?

192
00:08:58,125 --> 00:08:59,645
Speaker 1: You've got you all the present sorted.

193
00:08:59,684 --> 00:09:02,205
Speaker 6: I'm getting touchy, I'm getting stressed, I'm getting nervous.

194
00:09:02,245 --> 00:09:02,965
Speaker 1: I went in yesterday.

195
00:09:03,005 --> 00:09:05,045
Speaker 6: I said, Bonnie, We've got to buy some of these

196
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:07,045
Speaker 6: presents for these kids. He's like, no, no, no, why

197
00:09:07,045 --> 00:09:08,485
Speaker 6: aren't we just waiting to we get up to newcast

198
00:09:08,525 --> 00:09:10,484
Speaker 6: It all just north of Sydney, which is where we're

199
00:09:10,485 --> 00:09:12,965
Speaker 6: going to be spending Christmas, and we'll buy the presents there.

200
00:09:13,444 --> 00:09:15,844
Speaker 6: And I'm thinking, hang on, we're going to be spending

201
00:09:16,125 --> 00:09:20,285
Speaker 6: a day or two just before Christmas fighting the stress

202
00:09:20,645 --> 00:09:21,445
Speaker 6: and all the people.

203
00:09:21,725 --> 00:09:25,405
Speaker 1: That's a recipe for recipe for disaster those shops are

204
00:09:25,444 --> 00:09:27,525
Speaker 1: just heaving as well. Most of the stuff is gone.

205
00:09:27,605 --> 00:09:29,125
Speaker 6: I know we're getting up there on like the twenty

206
00:09:29,365 --> 00:09:31,085
Speaker 6: the twenty first of December, so.

207
00:09:31,525 --> 00:09:34,125
Speaker 1: I'm getting anxious now anxiety.

208
00:09:34,165 --> 00:09:36,005
Speaker 6: It was this Alfred Hitchcock moment, you know, when the

209
00:09:36,005 --> 00:09:38,965
Speaker 6: camera sort of out. You know, it's like, no, are

210
00:09:38,965 --> 00:09:41,245
Speaker 6: we really doing this because we can't take all the

211
00:09:41,245 --> 00:09:42,045
Speaker 6: presents in the car.

212
00:09:42,125 --> 00:09:44,485
Speaker 1: If we do buy them now, you go get one

213
00:09:44,485 --> 00:09:47,964
Speaker 1: of those U haul things maybe attached them to a

214
00:09:48,084 --> 00:09:49,324
Speaker 1: roof with a tiny bit of rope.

215
00:09:49,405 --> 00:09:51,125
Speaker 6: We have one of those pod things, but that's back

216
00:09:51,165 --> 00:09:53,564
Speaker 6: in Sydney. We're all over the shop, so we're going

217
00:09:53,645 --> 00:09:55,165
Speaker 6: to have to wait till we get up there to

218
00:09:55,525 --> 00:09:58,765
Speaker 6: buy the bulk of the presence. So just good luck

219
00:09:58,885 --> 00:10:00,124
Speaker 6: to me all it is.

220
00:10:00,285 --> 00:10:02,965
Speaker 1: Also it's queuing for all the by the way, what

221
00:10:03,045 --> 00:10:04,844
Speaker 1: a great thing is of the last couple years where

222
00:10:04,845 --> 00:10:05,925
Speaker 1: they go do you want me to give for up?

223
00:10:05,965 --> 00:10:06,045
Speaker 7: That?

224
00:10:06,485 --> 00:10:09,244
Speaker 1: It's always yes, isn't it? Yeah? Who says no?

225
00:10:09,444 --> 00:10:09,645
Speaker 5: Yeah?

226
00:10:09,804 --> 00:10:11,965
Speaker 1: No, They do it so beautifully done.

227
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:12,725
Speaker 4: A lot of them too.

228
00:10:12,965 --> 00:10:16,525
Speaker 3: It's great because our local plaza they've got the Salvos

229
00:10:16,525 --> 00:10:17,445
Speaker 3: that do it each year.

230
00:10:17,525 --> 00:10:18,765
Speaker 4: So you feel like you're.

231
00:10:18,645 --> 00:10:20,605
Speaker 1: Also supporting a good courses.

232
00:10:20,684 --> 00:10:22,965
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like gold coin donation and they do it

233
00:10:23,005 --> 00:10:23,804
Speaker 3: beautifully for you.

234
00:10:23,925 --> 00:10:25,484
Speaker 1: What I love about when they do the gift upright,

235
00:10:25,525 --> 00:10:27,444
Speaker 1: so they wrap it perfectly and they do this thing

236
00:10:27,485 --> 00:10:28,885
Speaker 1: with the ribbon. I don't know how they do it

237
00:10:28,885 --> 00:10:32,245
Speaker 1: where they get something and they they can make it

238
00:10:32,324 --> 00:10:32,765
Speaker 1: curl up.

239
00:10:32,845 --> 00:10:35,925
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you get the scissors, and how do people

240
00:10:35,965 --> 00:10:36,324
Speaker 3: do that?

241
00:10:36,725 --> 00:10:38,085
Speaker 1: Who teaches someone to do that? Oh?

242
00:10:38,125 --> 00:10:38,604
Speaker 4: It's easy.

243
00:10:38,684 --> 00:10:40,805
Speaker 3: You just like run it like you get It's the

244
00:10:40,804 --> 00:10:42,964
Speaker 3: way you hold your hand and you just like to

245
00:10:43,084 --> 00:10:43,964
Speaker 3: do something.

246
00:10:43,725 --> 00:10:45,684
Speaker 1: With one of the blades of the scissors where they

247
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:49,765
Speaker 1: and it then coils up beautifully. There were certain skills

248
00:10:49,765 --> 00:10:51,485
Speaker 1: in life where I'm always like, who told you to

249
00:10:51,485 --> 00:10:53,324
Speaker 1: do that? It's like when I first met my wife

250
00:10:53,725 --> 00:10:55,965
Speaker 1: and suddenly she would come out of the shower and

251
00:10:55,965 --> 00:10:57,324
Speaker 1: she would do this thing with a towel on her

252
00:10:57,324 --> 00:10:59,165
Speaker 1: head where it was like a couple of twelves and

253
00:10:59,165 --> 00:11:01,765
Speaker 1: so that that instant kind of thing on top of

254
00:11:01,804 --> 00:11:04,325
Speaker 1: a lady's head, and I'm like, how, what where do

255
00:11:04,324 --> 00:11:05,045
Speaker 1: you learn how to do that?

256
00:11:05,684 --> 00:11:06,405
Speaker 4: This magic?

257
00:11:07,204 --> 00:11:09,844
Speaker 6: I've tried that with my girls and that's it's impossible.

258
00:11:09,885 --> 00:11:10,804
Speaker 6: I don't know how you do it.

259
00:11:10,965 --> 00:11:13,165
Speaker 1: No, no, we don't know. We don't have the right DNA.

260
00:11:14,444 --> 00:11:17,765
Speaker 1: It's like a secret lady, a gami thing. All right,

261
00:11:18,084 --> 00:11:19,684
Speaker 1: coming there, let me know where DoD you hide your

262
00:11:19,765 --> 00:11:20,725
Speaker 1: Christmas presents?

263
00:11:21,285 --> 00:11:24,925
Speaker 2: The Christian o'connall show podcast.

264
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,324
Speaker 1: Go on into Judy Christian. I remember nearly fifty years ago,

265
00:11:27,405 --> 00:11:30,125
Speaker 1: rummaging through my mum and Dann's room searching for what

266
00:11:30,204 --> 00:11:34,364
Speaker 1: I might be going for Christmas. I was tough to

267
00:11:34,405 --> 00:11:37,364
Speaker 1: find a set of jacks, yes, and give my age away.

268
00:11:37,365 --> 00:11:39,005
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't know what they are now. I used

269
00:11:39,045 --> 00:11:43,125
Speaker 1: to play with Jack's Jackson, the rubber ball, those metallic

270
00:11:43,245 --> 00:11:46,484
Speaker 1: things worsens are standing on a up some piece of

271
00:11:46,564 --> 00:11:49,765
Speaker 1: lego was standing on some jacks. Do kids even play

272
00:11:49,845 --> 00:11:50,525
Speaker 1: Jackson anymore?

273
00:11:51,564 --> 00:11:54,804
Speaker 3: My grandmother used to keep wasn't the bone, like the

274
00:11:54,845 --> 00:11:57,925
Speaker 3: real bone, proper bone out of the chicken to play Jackson.

275
00:11:57,965 --> 00:12:00,045
Speaker 3: She'd wash it and put it on a window seal

276
00:12:00,084 --> 00:12:01,965
Speaker 3: to dry it. That's how we had Jack's for the

277
00:12:01,965 --> 00:12:04,765
Speaker 3: sheep's knuckle him something in the chook as well.

278
00:12:04,885 --> 00:12:05,565
Speaker 2: Someone might know.

279
00:12:06,165 --> 00:12:07,325
Speaker 4: And yeah, so we didn't.

280
00:12:07,125 --> 00:12:11,444
Speaker 3: Have bought jacks with boats, Yeah, I know, like real.

281
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:14,765
Speaker 4: Off the farm.

282
00:12:15,725 --> 00:12:18,005
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And you'd go around there and she'd have,

283
00:12:18,084 --> 00:12:20,165
Speaker 3: you know, she'd done two or three roast chooks or something,

284
00:12:20,204 --> 00:12:22,205
Speaker 3: and you'd think, oh, yes, the more jacks, and they'd

285
00:12:22,204 --> 00:12:22,765
Speaker 3: be on the windows.

286
00:12:22,965 --> 00:12:23,804
Speaker 1: Bone jacks.

287
00:12:24,365 --> 00:12:25,965
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure it was out of the chuck.

288
00:12:26,365 --> 00:12:28,125
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have to google. Can you still

289
00:12:28,204 --> 00:12:31,165
Speaker 1: buy jacks? Are they still those metallic ones? It used

290
00:12:31,165 --> 00:12:32,605
Speaker 1: to come like a set of like a load of them,

291
00:12:32,605 --> 00:12:36,365
Speaker 1: didn't they with the with the rubber ball? I bet

292
00:12:36,405 --> 00:12:40,005
Speaker 1: kids aren't playing Jackson? Can you ever look online? Are

293
00:12:40,125 --> 00:12:42,204
Speaker 1: jacks still available? The metallic ones? I don't want any

294
00:12:42,204 --> 00:12:42,964
Speaker 1: plastic rubbish.

295
00:12:43,165 --> 00:12:46,205
Speaker 7: I've got the plastic ones which I'm used to. They

296
00:12:46,365 --> 00:12:48,605
Speaker 7: are available at Big w for nine ninety five.

297
00:12:48,965 --> 00:12:52,245
Speaker 1: They're still being sold. She says, there's still a demand

298
00:12:52,285 --> 00:12:55,645
Speaker 1: for good old school jacks. Used to play all these

299
00:12:55,684 --> 00:12:58,005
Speaker 1: games with them. I'm pretty sure one was called the

300
00:12:58,005 --> 00:12:58,685
Speaker 1: Pig and the Pen.

301
00:12:58,965 --> 00:13:01,564
Speaker 4: Oh remember that Jack's from the.

302
00:13:01,525 --> 00:13:07,165
Speaker 1: Rooftop made all that happen, Christian. I have my presence

303
00:13:07,165 --> 00:13:09,685

306
00:13:17,725 --> 00:13:19,485
Speaker 1: for that, Christian, I would say no to wrapping if

00:13:19,485 --> 00:13:23,565
Speaker 1: it was Roan Atkinson doing it like in love. Actually see, actually,

308
00:13:23,765 --> 00:13:26,244
Speaker 1: well he's clearly never done it, Christian. The beauty being

309
00:13:26,245 --> 00:13:29,765
Speaker 1: a trade in the toolbox, we have our own hidden

310
00:13:29,804 --> 00:13:32,964

Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, wow?

317
00:13:46,045 --> 00:13:48,684

Speaker 1: you know, when you're really up against it and suddenly go,

322
00:13:56,125 --> 00:14:00,045
Speaker 1: you did get that full of gifts. That's the main problem.

328
00:14:19,845 --> 00:14:22,165
Speaker 1: and half out that we're talking about this week. Christian,

329
00:14:22,205 --> 00:14:24,605
Speaker 1: I remember the time I got stuck half in half out.

330
00:14:24,805 --> 00:14:27,205
Speaker 1: I was hanging some washing out and immediately locked myself

331
00:14:27,245 --> 00:14:30,645
Speaker 1: out keys inside. I figured i'd climb through through a window.

332
00:14:30,645 --> 00:14:33,805
Speaker 1: Whilst attemptingness, I stood on an ail sticking out the board.

333
00:14:34,285 --> 00:14:37,485
Speaker 1: When I checked my foot, I managed to step straight

334
00:14:37,605 --> 00:14:42,525
Speaker 1: into dog oo. I'm now angry, swearing I'd try to

335
00:14:42,565 --> 00:14:45,205
Speaker 1: pry open the kitchen window. I got it open, but

336
00:14:45,245 --> 00:14:48,685
Speaker 1: apparently shoes with dog peel on them are incredibly slippery

337
00:14:49,005 --> 00:14:54,925
Speaker 1: on the kitchen sink. I ended up half doing the

338
00:14:55,045 --> 00:14:59,405
Speaker 1: splits before giving up and climbing back out. Still stuck

339
00:14:59,405 --> 00:15:03,245
Speaker 1: outside plan B, I found a long pole and managed

340
00:15:03,285 --> 00:15:05,965
Speaker 1: to gel breakstyle reach across the kitchen to hook my

341
00:15:06,125 --> 00:15:08,405
Speaker 1: car keys. By the way, there was a whole sp

342
00:15:08,805 --> 00:15:11,445
Speaker 1: in London of crimes where people would put a long

343
00:15:11,485 --> 00:15:13,325
Speaker 1: pole with a hook at the end of it through

344
00:15:13,365 --> 00:15:15,525
Speaker 1: your letterbox, because you know, you'll just dump your keys

345
00:15:15,565 --> 00:15:18,965
Speaker 1: on the sideboard by the door and then hike them

346
00:15:19,005 --> 00:15:21,604
Speaker 1: on like it's like a fairground game, and then retract

347
00:15:21,725 --> 00:15:24,885
Speaker 1: back across front door and out through the letterbox. Only

348
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:26,645
Speaker 1: about this once when the police were at my door

349
00:15:26,645 --> 00:15:28,605
Speaker 1: and they were going around our neighborhood right door to

350
00:15:28,645 --> 00:15:31,245
Speaker 1: door telling people not to leave their keys out the

351
00:15:31,245 --> 00:15:35,445
Speaker 1: side because these hooking game gangs and shook gans sing

352
00:15:35,445 --> 00:15:37,885
Speaker 1: out of Charles Sticker's movie Wondering the Streets were a

353
00:15:37,965 --> 00:15:40,005
Speaker 1: long six rup pole with the nail at the end

354
00:15:40,005 --> 00:15:43,605
Speaker 1: of it. So anyway, I said, I don't, I don't

355
00:15:43,645 --> 00:15:45,205
Speaker 1: think that's a thing, and they were like, no, no, no,

356
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:47,484
Speaker 1: So we'd like to demonstrate to you right now, close

357
00:15:47,525 --> 00:15:49,885
Speaker 1: your door where do you normally leave your keys? So

358
00:15:49,965 --> 00:15:52,765
Speaker 1: now I'm in this strange scenario. There are two police

359
00:15:52,805 --> 00:15:55,925
Speaker 1: officers constables right at the met police peering through my

360
00:15:56,005 --> 00:15:59,565
Speaker 1: letterbox talking to me. I'm positioning where I normally used

361
00:15:59,565 --> 00:16:01,325
Speaker 1: to dump my keys. They then get a pole and

362
00:16:01,365 --> 00:16:04,405
Speaker 1: reenact what this crime would be. They managed to steal

363
00:16:04,445 --> 00:16:06,845
Speaker 1: my car keys to police officers while we react to

364
00:16:06,845 --> 00:16:10,205
Speaker 1: what might happen. Anyway, back to plan and Marie found

365
00:16:10,245 --> 00:16:12,525
Speaker 1: a long pole mass to jawl brak star reach goss

366
00:16:12,525 --> 00:16:14,885
Speaker 1: the kitchen to hit my car keys. Thankfully had the

367
00:16:14,925 --> 00:16:18,085
Speaker 1: house kid hatch success and made it back in with

368
00:16:18,165 --> 00:16:20,485
Speaker 1: dog poo still on my shoes, dog poo on the sink,

369
00:16:20,525 --> 00:16:23,485
Speaker 1: a hole in my foot, and a strained groin from

370
00:16:23,485 --> 00:16:26,244
Speaker 1: almost two in the splits. Marie great, I know that

371
00:16:26,365 --> 00:16:28,885
Speaker 1: smell you never ever, But do you get rid of

372
00:16:28,925 --> 00:16:32,685
Speaker 1: the did and those shoes? You can clean them all

373
00:16:32,685 --> 00:16:34,725
Speaker 1: you want, You clean them all they want. You still

374
00:16:34,845 --> 00:16:39,085
Speaker 1: smell that rancid smell. These shoes has gotta go. I

375
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:42,245
Speaker 1: love these shoes. They've been tainted forever with dog poo.

376
00:16:42,405 --> 00:16:45,365
Speaker 6: You wash your hands about five times, scrubs and nails

377
00:16:45,405 --> 00:16:46,485
Speaker 6: with that nail brush.

378
00:16:46,725 --> 00:16:48,805
Speaker 1: You talk about old school things, do they still exist?

379
00:16:48,845 --> 00:16:51,725
Speaker 1: The ancient game of jacks? And also nail brushes? Should

380
00:16:51,725 --> 00:16:53,845
Speaker 1: we go around it? And Grandad's always had that nail

381
00:16:53,885 --> 00:16:56,605
Speaker 1: brush next to a bar of soap. I come in

382
00:16:56,645 --> 00:16:59,805
Speaker 1: the last way I saw a neil brush. Christian. Two

383
00:16:59,885 --> 00:17:02,165
Speaker 1: years into our marriage, I changed up my routine and

384
00:17:02,245 --> 00:17:04,685
Speaker 1: left the house at four am for the gym every morning.

385
00:17:04,685 --> 00:17:06,365
Speaker 1: For one week, I noticed that the front door was

386
00:17:06,365 --> 00:17:08,725
Speaker 1: always unlocked. I finally asked my husband why he was

387
00:17:08,725 --> 00:17:10,764
Speaker 1: the door never locked. He looked at me and said, oh,

388
00:17:10,845 --> 00:17:13,885
Speaker 1: my dad does that what I said, confused because we

389
00:17:13,965 --> 00:17:16,245
Speaker 1: never ever lived with his tad and my husband hadn't

390
00:17:16,245 --> 00:17:18,445
Speaker 1: lived at home for five years before we met. All

391
00:17:18,445 --> 00:17:20,045
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the light bulb went off at my

392
00:17:20,125 --> 00:17:23,565
Speaker 1: husband's head and realized that it has now become his responsibility,

393
00:17:23,645 --> 00:17:25,405
Speaker 1: and he'd not been locking the door since we got

394
00:17:25,405 --> 00:17:26,685
Speaker 1: married for five years.

395
00:17:26,925 --> 00:17:29,365
Speaker 4: Oh there's something really sweet about that.

396
00:17:29,605 --> 00:17:33,085
Speaker 1: No, he wasn't locking the door. Its the guy's job

397
00:17:33,325 --> 00:17:36,085
Speaker 1: to cure the perimeters like he's dead, always did it

Speaker 5: No?

452
00:20:29,245 --> 00:20:31,485

453
00:20:31,525 --> 00:20:32,125
Speaker 8: of lemmies.

454
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:35,685
Speaker 1: Yeah, the lumbriscos, lovely classy.

455
00:20:36,445 --> 00:20:40,525
Speaker 8: They were a delight. And then I saw Barry getting

456
00:20:40,525 --> 00:20:42,485
Speaker 8: a bit up and about, so I thought I'll leave,

457
00:20:42,605 --> 00:20:45,165
Speaker 8: I'll go home. I had to do my beauty routine,

458
00:20:45,565 --> 00:20:47,045
Speaker 8: and so I did that, and then I went to

459
00:20:47,125 --> 00:20:49,045
Speaker 8: bed nice and early because I thought maybe I might

460
00:20:49,085 --> 00:20:49,805
Speaker 8: be needed today.

461
00:20:50,285 --> 00:20:52,205
Speaker 1: Yeah, and did you watch a movie last night?

462
00:20:52,925 --> 00:20:54,885
Speaker 8: Yeah? As I got home because I had a few lemmies,

463
00:20:54,925 --> 00:20:57,125
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, am, I getting to the Christmas spirit.

464
00:20:57,885 --> 00:21:00,845
Speaker 8: But you wouldn't guess what I watched because you wouldn't

465
00:21:00,845 --> 00:21:03,725
Speaker 8: think of it as a classic Christmas movie. It's but

466
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:07,885
Speaker 8: it's Christmas themed. I watched my favorite girl, Sandra Bullock

467
00:21:08,325 --> 00:21:09,925
Speaker 8: in while you were sleeping.

468
00:21:11,245 --> 00:21:14,445
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Oh you're right. I wouldn't really think that

469
00:21:14,605 --> 00:21:17,485
Speaker 1: is a classid Christmas movie whatsoever, shaz.

Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

00:27:38,165 --> 00:27:39,965
Speaker 1: Do we know Have they cleaned up the offel on

600
00:27:40,085 --> 00:27:42,445
Speaker 1: the West skate? That was the first thought I had

00:27:42,525 --> 00:27:45,205
Speaker 1: this morning. Did they clean up all the offul on

602
00:27:45,325 --> 00:27:48,885
Speaker 1: the West skate? Those are my waking thoughts today. All right,

603
00:27:48,925 --> 00:27:50,484
Speaker 1: So we're going to do this the next half an hour.

604
00:27:50,685 --> 00:27:54,765
Speaker 1: And it's I think something you'll enjoy doing this. I'm

605
00:27:54,805 --> 00:27:56,565
Speaker 1: asking you to tell me about the story of your

606
00:27:56,725 --> 00:27:59,125
Speaker 1: year in six words. Now. The reason why it's six

607
00:27:59,245 --> 00:28:02,845
Speaker 1: years six words is it actually Hemingway, so that you

608
00:28:02,885 --> 00:28:04,405
Speaker 1: can tell a great story. You don't need to write

609
00:28:04,405 --> 00:28:06,325
Speaker 1: a great, big novel. You can tell a story in

610
00:28:06,405 --> 00:28:09,285
Speaker 1: just six words. So this year, when you think about

611
00:28:09,325 --> 00:28:12,645
Speaker 1: what's happened in your life, in our lives, in any year,

612
00:28:13,205 --> 00:28:15,525
Speaker 1: there's so much change that goes on. There's so much joy,

613
00:28:15,605 --> 00:28:17,805
Speaker 1: there's so much happiness, there's so much regret, there so

614
00:28:17,925 --> 00:28:20,725
Speaker 1: much loss, all of it. What it is to be alive,

615
00:28:20,965 --> 00:28:24,005
Speaker 1: us human, gloriously messily human. So I have a think

616
00:28:24,005 --> 00:28:26,605
Speaker 1: about your year, and how would you tell me the

617
00:28:26,765 --> 00:28:29,445
Speaker 1: story of it in six words? So to give you

618
00:28:29,485 --> 00:28:31,725
Speaker 1: an example for me, I was thinking about this last night.

619
00:28:31,885 --> 00:28:34,285
Speaker 1: How would I sum up this year another year of

620
00:28:34,645 --> 00:28:38,685
Speaker 1: extraordinary just change in my life at home and at work?

621
00:28:39,045 --> 00:28:41,445
Speaker 1: And I was thinking yesterday evening my wife and I

622
00:28:41,605 --> 00:28:43,885
Speaker 1: closed the door, literally closed the door, and it felt

623
00:28:43,885 --> 00:28:45,805
Speaker 1: like the closing of a not a chapter in our lives,

624
00:28:45,805 --> 00:28:47,725
Speaker 1: but an entire book of our lives on our family

625
00:28:47,765 --> 00:28:49,885
Speaker 1: home that we've had since we moved to Australia seven

626
00:28:49,965 --> 00:28:52,685
Speaker 1: years ago. And obviously when we moved here, both of

627
00:28:52,725 --> 00:28:55,285
Speaker 1: our daughters were on the cast. We're becoming teenagers. They're

628
00:28:55,325 --> 00:28:57,645
Speaker 1: now nineteen and twenty one. They don't live at home anymore.

629
00:28:57,925 --> 00:29:00,605
Speaker 1: We've sold the family home. We've downside. We moved out.

630
00:29:00,725 --> 00:29:03,005
Speaker 1: Last night was the last night I closed the door.

631
00:29:03,045 --> 00:29:05,165
Speaker 1: My wife was getting emotional. She said, Chris, I can't

632
00:29:05,165 --> 00:29:06,525
Speaker 1: better close the loor. Can you close the door? And

633
00:29:06,565 --> 00:29:08,125
Speaker 1: gon to go and wait in the car. I looked

634
00:29:08,165 --> 00:29:11,525
Speaker 1: into that house and it was like at a museum.

635
00:29:11,965 --> 00:29:14,045
Speaker 1: It wasn't a home anymore. It was like, this isn't

636
00:29:14,045 --> 00:29:16,205
Speaker 1: a home anymore. Now this is somebody else's home. I

637
00:29:16,245 --> 00:29:17,725
Speaker 1: felt like I needed to get out of here. And

638
00:29:17,805 --> 00:29:20,245
Speaker 1: actually the new people they move in to that at

639
00:29:20,245 --> 00:29:22,405
Speaker 1: midday and they've got young kids, they've already picked out

640
00:29:22,445 --> 00:29:25,045
Speaker 1: the bedrooms and it feels like it's already moving on.

641
00:29:25,485 --> 00:29:28,245
Speaker 1: So how would I describe this year for me? This

642
00:29:28,365 --> 00:29:30,485
Speaker 1: year it'll be the leaving year and the growing year.

643
00:29:30,565 --> 00:29:32,325
Speaker 1: Both of those things are in our lives, aren't they?

644
00:29:32,605 --> 00:29:35,125
Speaker 1: So for me, it's like Jack at work leaving the show.

645
00:29:35,485 --> 00:29:36,845
Speaker 1: Not the year I thought we were going to get

646
00:29:36,885 --> 00:29:39,045
Speaker 1: this year on the show, nowhere near it. But Jack

647
00:29:39,125 --> 00:29:42,445
Speaker 1: suddenly left the show and with all my love as well,

648
00:29:42,485 --> 00:29:44,965
Speaker 1: and I wish him all the best. But Jack suddenly

649
00:29:45,045 --> 00:29:47,005
Speaker 1: left in the middle of this year. But with that,

650
00:29:47,205 --> 00:29:50,405
Speaker 1: leaving our youngest daughter and leaving home as well, tremendous

651
00:29:50,485 --> 00:29:53,725
Speaker 1: growth as well. The show has changed Jack I hired.

652
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:55,765
Speaker 1: You know, when I start the show seven years ago,

653
00:29:55,845 --> 00:29:58,325
Speaker 1: it's me Jack and Bats. Him leaving suddenly this year

654
00:29:58,445 --> 00:29:59,925
Speaker 1: was a really big thing. I wanted, how were we're

655
00:29:59,925 --> 00:30:02,205
Speaker 1: going to how were we going to get through it?

656
00:30:02,245 --> 00:30:03,245
Speaker 1: How were we going to grow through it?

657
00:30:03,445 --> 00:30:03,845
Speaker 9: But we did.

658
00:30:03,965 --> 00:30:06,085
Speaker 1: I'm very, very proud of the show this year, and

659
00:30:06,205 --> 00:30:08,805
Speaker 1: Real came along and Alex Kmberlong. So my WHI has

660
00:30:08,845 --> 00:30:11,885
Speaker 1: been the leaving year at home, a youngest daughter moving out,

661
00:30:12,005 --> 00:30:13,965
Speaker 1: and then Jackie Boy, which feels like another sort of

662
00:30:14,005 --> 00:30:17,085
Speaker 1: kid I had as well, moving out the family radio

663
00:30:17,205 --> 00:30:19,525
Speaker 1: show home. That's how would suone up in six words?

664
00:30:19,565 --> 00:30:22,045
Speaker 1: For me, it's the leaving year, but also the growing year.

665
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:25,125
Speaker 1: It's been an amazing year. I've loved this year. There's

666
00:30:25,165 --> 00:30:27,725
Speaker 1: been leaving and there's been growing. So yeah, that's it

667
00:30:27,845 --> 00:30:29,125
Speaker 1: for me, perhatsy, what's it for you?

668
00:30:29,365 --> 00:30:31,845
Speaker 3: I love that this for me, I think it's this

669
00:30:32,125 --> 00:30:35,765
Speaker 3: version of us even richer, and it's kind of a

670
00:30:35,805 --> 00:30:38,245
Speaker 3: little parallel to yours in a way in that Chris

671
00:30:38,325 --> 00:30:40,765
Speaker 3: and I coming up to Christmas, have really been lamenting

672
00:30:42,485 --> 00:30:45,245
Speaker 3: about you know, there's no Christmas Elf anymore. There's no

673
00:30:45,645 --> 00:30:49,245
Speaker 3: going to visit Santa. There won't be making the reindeer

674
00:30:49,325 --> 00:30:51,965
Speaker 3: food to leave out on Christmas Eve because Audrey is

675
00:30:52,005 --> 00:30:54,765
Speaker 3: going on, you know, very close to fifteen now, and

676
00:30:54,845 --> 00:30:56,765
Speaker 3: it's like where have those years gone? The years are

677
00:30:56,805 --> 00:31:01,125
Speaker 3: going so fast, but what has replaced it is this

678
00:31:01,645 --> 00:31:05,565
Speaker 3: beautiful you know, we're pivoting into this beautiful, rich sort

679
00:31:05,605 --> 00:31:09,045
Speaker 3: of experience with her as she grows into her herself.

680
00:31:09,205 --> 00:31:11,885
Speaker 3: So you know, she's really into a theater this year.

681
00:31:12,005 --> 00:31:14,805
Speaker 3: We've been to two live performances with Odds and just

682
00:31:14,885 --> 00:31:17,765
Speaker 3: seeing her shine and in her element. She's sung in

683
00:31:17,885 --> 00:31:20,645
Speaker 3: front of the school a couple of times, and she's

684
00:31:20,765 --> 00:31:23,925
Speaker 3: just got into this amazing peer program at school for

685
00:31:24,085 --> 00:31:27,165
Speaker 3: next year. She's charting her course as she should, and

686
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:30,005
Speaker 3: to see that as a parent is just beautiful and

687
00:31:30,125 --> 00:31:32,245
Speaker 3: so Chris and I, Chris and I have got to

688
00:31:32,325 --> 00:31:34,725
Speaker 3: catch up to that. So we feel like we're doing

689
00:31:34,805 --> 00:31:38,205
Speaker 3: this massive, big pivot and it is it feels like

690
00:31:38,365 --> 00:31:41,525
Speaker 3: a really big year in that we're setting the course

691
00:31:41,645 --> 00:31:44,685
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty six. We're all, you know, doing our

692
00:31:44,765 --> 00:31:48,965
Speaker 3: own thing and rocking with that. But the major thing

693
00:31:49,045 --> 00:31:53,365
Speaker 3: for us is our home life and just axling into

694
00:31:53,845 --> 00:31:56,605
Speaker 3: her new orbit and moving along with it. You'd know

695
00:31:56,725 --> 00:31:59,565
Speaker 3: what obviously what that's like with the girls, but.

696
00:32:00,405 --> 00:32:02,045
Speaker 1: It's a big thing. People don't talk about this from

697
00:32:02,085 --> 00:32:03,765
Speaker 1: mums and dads, right They talk about what happens with

698
00:32:03,805 --> 00:32:05,645
Speaker 1: the kids and the teenage and stuff that You're right,

699
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:07,925
Speaker 1: that age to al is out now that fifteen sixteen

700
00:32:08,005 --> 00:32:11,165
Speaker 1: seventeen girls were going through that, they really start to

701
00:32:11,845 --> 00:32:14,965
Speaker 1: see their character being revealed. You know. It's like it's

702
00:32:15,005 --> 00:32:19,165
Speaker 1: like a flowers in unfolds bit by bit and you're like,

703
00:32:19,245 --> 00:32:22,245
Speaker 1: oh wow, okay, and it's a marvel. But also then

704
00:32:22,525 --> 00:32:25,085
Speaker 1: what you actually also need to put your attention on

705
00:32:25,165 --> 00:32:27,845
Speaker 1: is night is finding meaning in this second part of

706
00:32:27,925 --> 00:32:30,885
Speaker 1: our lives and what that is for you. That's been

707
00:32:30,965 --> 00:32:32,925
Speaker 1: the big thing for Sarah and I this year is

708
00:32:33,005 --> 00:32:35,605
Speaker 1: like working out all right. It suddenly like they give

709
00:32:35,645 --> 00:32:37,165
Speaker 1: you the gift of time, they give it back to

710
00:32:37,205 --> 00:32:38,885
Speaker 1: you and then you have to go, oh, yeah, what

711
00:32:38,965 --> 00:32:39,485
Speaker 1: are we going to do?

712
00:32:39,605 --> 00:32:39,765
Speaker 2: Yeah?

713
00:32:39,765 --> 00:32:40,245
Speaker 4: What next?

714
00:32:40,485 --> 00:32:42,485
Speaker 3: And that's the thing we're finding, you know, as she's

715
00:32:42,645 --> 00:32:46,125
Speaker 3: going out to parties and sort of socializing more. It

716
00:32:46,285 --> 00:32:48,325
Speaker 3: is just more of Chris and I, which is beautiful,

717
00:32:48,365 --> 00:32:52,325
Speaker 3: and rediscovering each other and knowing that that friendship from

718
00:32:52,405 --> 00:32:54,605
Speaker 3: you know, because we've been together over thirty years now

719
00:32:54,685 --> 00:32:57,365
Speaker 3: that it's still there, which is really beautiful, and it's like, well,

720
00:32:57,725 --> 00:32:59,045
Speaker 3: what would we like to do tonight?

721
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:00,525
Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? Like, it's just it

722
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:03,285
Speaker 4: feels yeah, why not.

723
00:33:03,685 --> 00:33:06,085
Speaker 1: It's a big ear for you, Chris and Andrea at

724
00:33:06,125 --> 00:33:06,645
Speaker 1: the language.

725
00:33:07,645 --> 00:33:09,005
Speaker 4: There's three in this real liflationship.

726
00:33:09,325 --> 00:33:11,885
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that's where no, that's where we're at.

727
00:33:12,045 --> 00:33:14,525
Speaker 3: Is just trying to, you know, keep up. It feels

728
00:33:14,565 --> 00:33:15,205
Speaker 3: like a marathon.

729
00:33:15,285 --> 00:33:17,005
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, we're here now, this is a really

730
00:33:17,125 --> 00:33:17,565
Speaker 4: nice pace.

731
00:33:17,605 --> 00:33:19,805
Speaker 1: But do not think my time. Since I've known you

732
00:33:19,885 --> 00:33:21,885
Speaker 1: in seventy years, I think this year that you've also

733
00:33:22,045 --> 00:33:23,965
Speaker 1: grown Patsy as well. Yeah, i'd like to think so

734
00:33:24,485 --> 00:33:27,485
Speaker 1: already has as well. You're constantly teaching your kids a lesson,

735
00:33:27,925 --> 00:33:29,405
Speaker 1: and I don't mean the ones that you say in

736
00:33:29,485 --> 00:33:31,485
Speaker 1: bore them with. I mean how you actually handle and

737
00:33:31,525 --> 00:33:33,805
Speaker 1: live your life. That's the biggest. The kids are always

738
00:33:33,805 --> 00:33:36,165
Speaker 1: watching us, who're always teaching your kids a lesson, And

739
00:33:36,245 --> 00:33:38,405
Speaker 1: most of the lessons don't involve words. They watch how

740
00:33:38,485 --> 00:33:41,805
Speaker 1: you handle your life, your joy, your pain, your anger.

741
00:33:42,005 --> 00:33:42,965
Speaker 1: They're always watching you.

742
00:33:43,125 --> 00:33:45,485
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. It's like a mirror, isn't it when

743
00:33:45,525 --> 00:33:47,125
Speaker 4: you have kids, it's like a mirror.

744
00:33:47,125 --> 00:33:49,005
Speaker 1: Of I think it's more like a hall of mirrors.

745
00:33:49,205 --> 00:33:52,645
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, at a sideshow more to the point.

746
00:33:52,765 --> 00:33:54,645
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's actually quite beautiful. And to see her

747
00:33:54,765 --> 00:33:56,725
Speaker 3: forming her own opinions, and you know, we can have

748
00:33:56,805 --> 00:34:00,365
Speaker 3: discussions about world affairs and or simple as just sitting

749
00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:01,925
Speaker 3: and watching our shows together.

750
00:34:02,085 --> 00:34:03,285

Speaker 1: in Melbourne? Oh my goodness.

792
00:36:27,405 --> 00:36:29,765
Speaker 6: I've been shaking just getting ready to talk about this

793
00:36:29,925 --> 00:36:33,285
Speaker 6: because it's been such a massive, massive year for myself

794
00:36:33,365 --> 00:36:34,085
Speaker 6: and my family.

795
00:36:34,365 --> 00:36:36,845
Speaker 1: Wild is a good word for it. Christian.

796
00:36:37,445 --> 00:36:40,405
Speaker 6: You know, I've sort of reflected on it, and it's funny.

797
00:36:40,525 --> 00:36:42,085
Speaker 6: Bunnie and I look at each other often and say,

798
00:36:42,485 --> 00:36:44,925
Speaker 6: can you believe we're living in Melbourne now? We just

799
00:36:45,005 --> 00:36:50,004
Speaker 6: have those moments and it's just been an incredible year

800
00:36:50,165 --> 00:36:53,805
Speaker 6: because my six word year is ending much better than

801
00:36:53,845 --> 00:36:58,924
Speaker 6: it started. It started pretty badly with my departure from

802
00:36:58,925 --> 00:37:02,085
Speaker 6: the Today Show, and I was in a real funk.

803
00:37:02,205 --> 00:37:04,045
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was doing was going so

804
00:37:04,165 --> 00:37:06,325
Speaker 1: much as wall. You're a guy who's had a really

805
00:37:06,365 --> 00:37:08,245
Speaker 1: successful career as a journalist, right, You've got to do

806
00:37:08,365 --> 00:37:10,525
Speaker 1: some stuff. You must have had so much shame around

807
00:37:10,565 --> 00:37:13,205
Speaker 1: that as well. An unfair and unfair way to be

808
00:37:13,325 --> 00:37:14,605
Speaker 1: let go of a job as well.

809
00:37:14,525 --> 00:37:18,205
Speaker 6: Oh definitely, and so small, so sudden as well, and

810
00:37:19,245 --> 00:37:22,885
Speaker 6: so unexpected. And yeah, it just left me and my

811
00:37:23,005 --> 00:37:25,605
Speaker 6: family in serious limbo and we're like, what do we

812
00:37:25,685 --> 00:37:25,965
Speaker 6: do now?

813
00:37:26,045 --> 00:37:26,565
Speaker 1: Where do we go?

814
00:37:26,965 --> 00:37:31,765
Speaker 6: And so so started a few months of looking inwards

815
00:37:32,045 --> 00:37:34,845
Speaker 6: and reflecting on what comes next and where I go

816
00:37:35,725 --> 00:37:36,485
Speaker 6: with my career.

817
00:37:36,685 --> 00:37:38,125
Speaker 1: There must have been a scary time you were a

818
00:37:38,165 --> 00:37:40,925
Speaker 1: dad with three young kids as well, terrifying terrified it was.

819
00:37:41,285 --> 00:37:42,885
Speaker 1: We thought, this is it, this is the end of

820
00:37:42,925 --> 00:37:45,125
Speaker 1: my career that you've built up. Yeah, exactly.

821
00:37:45,245 --> 00:37:46,965
Speaker 6: I was getting offers from mates to go and work

822
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,165
Speaker 6: on their nurseries, which was nice.

823
00:37:50,005 --> 00:37:53,165
Speaker 1: You know, I had to do something, and luckily I had.

824
00:37:53,085 --> 00:37:55,485
Speaker 6: Some other things going on with particular sporting clubs like

825
00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:57,325
Speaker 6: the Penwrith Panthers, who are fantastic to me.

826
00:37:57,885 --> 00:37:59,765
Speaker 1: And then and you became their actual mascot for a

827
00:37:59,805 --> 00:38:02,444
Speaker 1: couple of most tie we don't talk about those moments

828
00:38:04,005 --> 00:38:04,685
Speaker 1: you're in the outfit.

829
00:38:04,805 --> 00:38:06,925
Speaker 6: Yeah, the things I had to do Christian the cart wheels.

830
00:38:06,965 --> 00:38:09,565
Speaker 1: Hey, dads have got to earn a coin, exactly right.

831
00:38:10,325 --> 00:38:12,725
Speaker 1: But then again, your good self came along.

832
00:38:12,885 --> 00:38:14,884
Speaker 6: I'll never forget that phone call, that our long phone

833
00:38:14,925 --> 00:38:16,805
Speaker 6: call out of the blue, really and we got on

834
00:38:16,885 --> 00:38:19,725
Speaker 6: like a house on fire. And here I am in

835
00:38:19,965 --> 00:38:22,485
Speaker 6: Melbourne to so thank you to you and this wonderful team.

836
00:38:22,605 --> 00:38:24,725
Speaker 6: What a team this is we got to We're blessed.

837
00:38:24,805 --> 00:38:26,485
Speaker 6: We have a lovely team here as well. I hope

838
00:38:26,485 --> 00:38:27,205
Speaker 6: it comes across all that.

839
00:38:27,245 --> 00:38:29,325
Speaker 1: If you ever enjoy the show, that is one hundred

840
00:38:29,365 --> 00:38:31,125
Speaker 1: percent because of the team environment we have here.

841
00:38:31,325 --> 00:38:31,845
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.

842
00:38:31,925 --> 00:38:32,805
Speaker 1: It all comes out of that.

843
00:38:32,925 --> 00:38:36,485
Speaker 6: It's all embracing and there's an enormous amount of support,

844
00:38:36,565 --> 00:38:39,765
Speaker 6: which I haven't always had in my past jobs, let

845
00:38:39,845 --> 00:38:41,805
Speaker 6: me tell you that much. So it's just a really

846
00:38:41,925 --> 00:38:44,924
Speaker 6: lovely place to be and so exciting for next year.

847
00:38:45,325 --> 00:38:48,405
Speaker 6: I'm so blessed, so thankful and just cannot wait for

848
00:38:48,525 --> 00:38:49,205
Speaker 6: what comes next.

849
00:38:49,805 --> 00:38:51,845
Speaker 1: All right, Keithy's coming. They're lovely by the way, and

850
00:38:52,165 --> 00:38:53,445
Speaker 1: it might take you a bit of time to think

851
00:38:53,485 --> 00:38:55,245
Speaker 1: about it as well, because when you look back over

852
00:38:55,285 --> 00:38:58,325
Speaker 1: you so there's so much you actually forgets what's upen

853
00:38:58,325 --> 00:39:01,605
Speaker 1: because actually we don't. We're rarely in the present. We're

854
00:39:01,605 --> 00:39:04,405
Speaker 1: always looking ahead or trying to strategize and manage today,

855
00:39:04,805 --> 00:39:07,085
Speaker 1: next week, Christmas, in a couple of weeks, time, new year,

856
00:39:07,645 --> 00:39:10,605
Speaker 1: the job and work. You're constantly you never hear, You're

857
00:39:10,605 --> 00:39:13,645
Speaker 1: always somewhere else. And actually, when you take a moment

858
00:39:13,725 --> 00:39:16,924
Speaker 1: to reflect, which we never do, we're always constantly somewhere else.

859
00:39:17,165 --> 00:39:19,645
Speaker 1: And even before the show, we're all talking about next year,

860
00:39:19,725 --> 00:39:22,125
Speaker 1: because we are. I've spent seven years of my life

861
00:39:22,285 --> 00:39:24,805
Speaker 1: all building for next year. I can't wait. But I've

862
00:39:24,805 --> 00:39:27,605
Speaker 1: had to remind myself that actually, right here and now

863
00:39:27,805 --> 00:39:30,045
Speaker 1: is that is magical. Was wondering it's not going to

864
00:39:30,085 --> 00:39:32,844
Speaker 1: get better because I've got a national radio show. It's

865
00:39:32,885 --> 00:39:35,404
Speaker 1: allowing yourself to receive just all the blessings we've had

866
00:39:35,725 --> 00:39:38,525
Speaker 1: everything this year. Sometimes we're always like, oh, when I

867
00:39:38,605 --> 00:39:41,285
Speaker 1: get to that place, life will be better, And it's

868
00:39:41,285 --> 00:39:43,285
Speaker 1: the wrong way to live your life. It's all about now,

869
00:39:43,685 --> 00:39:45,085
Speaker 1: and you look back at your year and like what

870
00:39:45,205 --> 00:39:47,485
Speaker 1: you've been through that have been so much laughter in

871
00:39:47,565 --> 00:39:50,605
Speaker 1: your lives. This year, to me tears so much unbearableness

872
00:39:50,645 --> 00:39:53,525
Speaker 1: of it all, so much joy, so much excitement, all

873
00:39:53,605 --> 00:39:55,884
Speaker 1: of that wonder as well. So take your time think

874
00:39:55,925 --> 00:39:57,965
Speaker 1: about your year and it might be something you want

875
00:39:57,965 --> 00:39:59,885
Speaker 1: to sit down tonight with a pen and paper and

876
00:39:59,925 --> 00:40:01,445
Speaker 1: actually write out a few goes of it. That's what

877
00:40:01,525 --> 00:40:03,605
Speaker 1: I did yesterday too, about half an hour to really

878
00:40:03,845 --> 00:40:05,965
Speaker 1: fine tune to what this year has been for me,

879
00:40:06,285 --> 00:40:08,045
Speaker 1: the leaving year and the growing year, and then send

880
00:40:08,085 --> 00:40:09,645
Speaker 1: it to me to right if you want. Christian at

881
00:40:09,725 --> 00:40:11,885
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell dot com dot au, the.

882
00:40:12,125 --> 00:40:14,965
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

883
00:40:15,165 --> 00:40:17,765
Speaker 1: I reckon we could publish a book with all these sharings,

884
00:40:17,805 --> 00:40:22,364
Speaker 1: each one a page of somebody's life of the year.

885
00:40:22,485 --> 00:40:24,525
Speaker 1: So much happens, doesn't it in a year. There's no

886
00:40:24,605 --> 00:40:27,165
Speaker 1: such thing as an average year of any of our lives.

887
00:40:27,845 --> 00:40:29,405
Speaker 1: So we're asking you we always do it. At the

888
00:40:29,485 --> 00:40:32,565
Speaker 1: end of the year, reflect on your year and then

889
00:40:32,645 --> 00:40:35,245
Speaker 1: tell me the story of your year in six words.

890
00:40:35,365 --> 00:40:37,525
Speaker 1: And for those who are thinking about it, maybe you're busy,

891
00:40:37,685 --> 00:40:39,645
Speaker 1: you're trying to get the kids to school, and you

892
00:40:39,725 --> 00:40:42,364
Speaker 1: know you wait for your exam results today as well.

893
00:40:42,405 --> 00:40:44,565
Speaker 1: Good luck to everyone is actually you have a think

894
00:40:44,565 --> 00:40:47,325
Speaker 1: about it today. And the thing that actually, when you

895
00:40:47,485 --> 00:40:49,605
Speaker 1: do this and you think about the story of your

896
00:40:49,725 --> 00:40:53,765
Speaker 1: year in six words, we are story machines. As human beings,

897
00:40:53,805 --> 00:40:56,525
Speaker 1: we're constantly making stories about our lives. Who we are,

898
00:40:56,805 --> 00:40:58,685
Speaker 1: who we don't think we are, how much joy we're allowed,

899
00:40:59,325 --> 00:41:01,045
Speaker 1: how much anger we're allowed to be, and all these

900
00:41:01,085 --> 00:41:03,805
Speaker 1: family stories. When you start to write the story of

901
00:41:03,885 --> 00:41:06,125
Speaker 1: this year in six words, it reminds us that we

902
00:41:06,205 --> 00:41:08,965
Speaker 1: can edit at any time the story of we think

903
00:41:09,005 --> 00:41:11,285
Speaker 1: we are or what the year was. And you might

904
00:41:11,365 --> 00:41:13,285
Speaker 1: find that you start out with one version of a

905
00:41:13,325 --> 00:41:15,205
Speaker 1: story of this year, and then when you spend a

906
00:41:15,245 --> 00:41:16,565
Speaker 1: bit more time of it and you go under the

907
00:41:16,645 --> 00:41:19,605
Speaker 1: surface of it, or maybe take a bigger perspective of

908
00:41:19,885 --> 00:41:22,565
Speaker 1: all of your year and what you've been through, the

909
00:41:22,645 --> 00:41:25,245
Speaker 1: story can change, and you can edit no matter what's

910
00:41:25,285 --> 00:41:27,685
Speaker 1: happened to you this year, no matter what hardships you

911
00:41:27,765 --> 00:41:30,245
Speaker 1: might have been through, frustrations, the things that you didn't

912
00:41:30,245 --> 00:41:33,364
Speaker 1: get you thought you deserved. You can tell your own

913
00:41:33,485 --> 00:41:36,805
Speaker 1: story about what that is. And knowing that and editing

914
00:41:36,885 --> 00:41:39,925
Speaker 1: it and crossing out and retelling that story is an

915
00:41:39,965 --> 00:41:43,725
Speaker 1: incredibly powerful thing to do. We can always edit the

916
00:41:43,845 --> 00:41:46,165
Speaker 1: story of what's happened to us in our lives at

917
00:41:46,165 --> 00:41:50,444
Speaker 1: any time. Alex Christian, I six words, failed foster dog

1124
00:51:54,245 --> 00:51:56,685

1125
00:51:56,685 --> 00:51:58,085
Speaker 1: a more grounded happiness this year.

1126

Speaker 7: I'm just really happy in my spot and being a

1130
00:52:05,165 --> 00:52:08,165
Speaker 7: bit boring. Grounded is where it's at. I've never felt

1131
00:52:08,205 --> 00:52:10,765
Speaker 7: more like myself and really understood and being happy with

1132
00:52:10,885 --> 00:52:12,844
Speaker 7: everything that's going on around and I'm broad.

1133
00:52:12,925 --> 00:52:15,364
Speaker 1: Yeah, we never really understand. It takes time to learn

1134
00:52:15,445 --> 00:52:17,605
Speaker 1: how to be us. There's no help in that. There

1135

Speaker 1: think the game is you get this number, that number

1138
00:52:25,485 --> 00:52:27,005
Speaker 1: is going to determine the rest of the course of

1139

Speaker 1: your life, and us old fart's going to know or

1140
00:52:28,725 --> 00:52:31,885
Speaker 1: don't work like that. No, it does get up with

1141
00:52:31,925 --> 00:52:33,605
Speaker 1: that whatever the atar is, and I hope you get

1142
00:52:33,645 --> 00:52:35,405
Speaker 1: what you deserved, and no doubt a lot of the

1143
00:52:35,485 --> 00:52:37,245
Speaker 1: kids have worked very, very hard, but it does not

1144
