hey this is the christian o'connell show podcast hey this is christian we're kind of a strange one for me

right at the top of the show but but let's go for it anyway.

There's a listener who emailed me, a podcast listener in the UK called Paul Johnson.

Paul Johnson emailed me a couple of years ago with an incredible story about my uncle Tom who saved his life.

And then karma came back around and our correspondent, Paul, saved someone related to Tom. This story, whenever I share it or tell anyone about it, gives me goosebumps. And other people are just reduced to kind of

all really, which is why I want to include it in my book. But I can't unless I hear from Paul.

I've emailed Paul Johnson. It's a bounceback. He's not on that email anymore. All I know is he listens

in the UK. Paul Johnson, if you still listen to a show, and I hope you're well, please email me

Christian at Christianocconnell.com.com. Thank you very much. Enjoy today's pod.

The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Good morning, Rio. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning,

Pat. Good morning. Good morning, Alex.

Good morning. Alex, you shouldn't have in your sport news and say it's a good win over the

smallest country to ever qualify Curiselle 5-1. If you beat them 100, 1, you put it in a sports.

It is a moment of shame for the Sokaroos.

How did you speak about Curacao like that? It was one- them. It is a moment of shame for the socceroos. How do you speak about Kurosauri? It was one all. It's a country of 18 people. Come on. Don't speak down about it. If you beat them a thousand to one, it's a majestic victory. Yeah, they scored a goal. Not happy, Jan. Yeah, I know. How did that happen? I know. It's better it happens now, though, than in the big stage from the World Cup.

All right?

True. How did that happen? I know. It's better it happens now, though, than in the big stage from the World Cup. All right. It's the size of Tomah. It was one all for a while, and I was thinking, funny if that's the end result. Oh, imagine if we lost to them. Oh, my word. You're like ranked... Don't get on that plane to go. Go me the kit boys for Curiselle. Can we beat Cameroon and Curacao now? Yay. And then your next big proper chat before it all begins is Mexico? Yes, Mexico. Before the World Cup begins in June. Wow, we, I can't wait. All right, let's talk about, so it's Wednesday morning. Let's talk about a week so far, three-word week so far. Patsy, what's it for you,

mate?

40K service. When did taking your car, even just for a minor service, become so convoluted? Like, I reckon I've gone for major surgery and there's been less steps in checking in at the hospital than there is in leaving your car for a 40,000 service. You're right. There's so much admin.

It's insane.

You go in, they're very good, good customer service, but I just really wanted to drop my keys off yesterday so I could get home and have a nanana nap. Oh, no. You go to one desk and then they say, okay, we'll just take you through to the service reception and we'll get your coffee. Oh, no, no, no, really, I'll just leave my cake. No, no, no, we insist. So then you go through to the service reception. The amount of admin and bureaucracy you have to do, the moment they get that clipboard out from under the desk, it's never on the desk because they're all smiley, smiley, and they go, oh, you, can you just fit it out? And the clipball comes out.
