Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

So over the last 20 minutes, 30 minutes, there's been a lot of technical problems with this radio station.

You've just tuned in.

Lucky you.

Music was going over adverts.

Patsy went to do the news and then no one could hear her.

Then there was music and adverts coming on instead of the news.

The sports thing was queuing in and then there was no sports news.

It must have been fun for you, Patsy, because you've ever had to run around and try and get ready for the news, there's no news.

You know, the thing is, there's nothing worse than when you're sitting in the newsroom and the news theme goes off. It's not news time, but you're kind of like, it's like an out-of-body experience. It's like, well, it's not my time to turn on. Transcendant news. It is.

It's like, hang on. It's like the bat signal going up. When you hear that news theme, you have

to be behind the line. It's a news signal. It's like news readers unite. And you can't turn off that instinct. It's primal with you. That's right. It is. It's like a mother's instinct. When I walked in here and everybody's running around because there's ads going over

songs and everything, I said, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

I've never seen anyone so happy that it looks like we can't do the show. I heard Kayling go,

we can't do the show and he went, oh. And that's fake. How long for you?

I probably just get out the way.

You don't need people getting in the way,

tripping people up with my big long legs.

I'll go home on standby.

Almost shuffled in here when the engine is when actually we fixed it.

It's ready to start the show.
