Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

The side of a great radio station is a radio station that reads the zeitgeist, looks around,

is aware of the context that you're in, and plays music that's right.

That's Darrythwaite and one summer.

You look out there today.

That's what I feel.

It's damn. You think, please play Daryl Braithwaite one summer. It really captures the spirit of the city right now. He's in our city. Good morning. Christian O'Connell's show Monday morning, 10 minutes past six. Good morning, Pat. Morning, boys. Morning, Rio. Good morning. And welcome back for week two, Alex Cullen. Oh, there's the mic on. The mic's on now. Okay. Morning all. Good to be here. I got a lovely email about you, Alex. Over the weekend, just saying, what a great job you've done. And then they spat the tea out on Friday when I went, what are you up to this weekend? Driving back to Sydney. I've had a week here in this city.

You know, last week on the show, I love this city. It's so great. Anyway, first opportunity I can. I'm going to do a 22-hour road trip to get out of here. When I've got some downtime to enjoy, I'm going to go back to Parramatta. Yeah, I'm nicking off. So how was the epic road trip back home?

Also, you're a sports mega fan.

Yeah.

This was a crazy sport weekend, let alone to all the footy, which I really don't want to talk about today's show. Unfortunately, it's three hours a week. There's no escape. And then also you had 90,000 rugby fans at the G for the amazing and a classic game for the for the

Lions and you you you hide out out of town no no I had to get I had a commitment a prior

commitment with the Penrith Panthers that I had to go back for to be in that those shoes

I mean Patsy's on the red carpet don't we envy her Rio and now to have a Penrith corporate

gig and a contractual obligation. Oh my God, to live that life. It's the last one. And they've been so good to me, Penrith, in the National Rugby League, of course. And so I went back, repay the faith. And I said goodbye. But I didn't realize you had all the kids with you in the car. Well, no, I didn't drive. I flew. So I, yeah, and that started out terribly. We, of course, went over the Westgate Bridge on the way to the airport. I've done that so many times. Oh, my goodness gracious. Three kids in the back, so we thought we'd take all the kids up at six o'clock. It was the most stressful start to the day. So of course...

Getting to that, there's no airport in the world that's harder to get to than Melbourne.

It was a disaster.

Oh, it's horrendous.

With minutes to spend.

I wonder how many people listening of accidentally, whether they went to go into the airport
