Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Yesterday, this time, extraordinary moment when we were telling the winner, your winner, of Who's Calling Christian, the great irrepressible Dean Boxel that your votes had made him, the winner.

And it was quite an unusual moment for us on the show because normally with who's calling Christian,

the $50,000 is split in two. So the winning celebrity, all the celebrities you've been asking,

the celebrity, the reason why they call us is they can win $25,000 for the charity of their choice.

And you get, if you ask them to call the show, you get $25,000 as well.

But because the charity, the Daniel Morecambe Foundation, a unique

situation and a unique charity, because they asked Dean to give a call, they're getting the entire

$50,000. And Dean, yesterday, after the show, when it finally settled in a bit, that he'd won.

He was very emotional yesterday. He was brilliant. He said actually what he'd like to do is come

back on the show today and actually give this news what you've done, the $50,000 to Bruce Morkham

from the foundation set up in his son's name. So we're going to get Dean back on here. Then we're

going to chat to Bruce. So, and they're getting $50,000 thanks to your votes. Let's get Dean Boxel,

Supercoach, back on the show now. Dean.

Christian, how are you, mate? This is still not me for sick. This is unbelievable. I called

my wife, and she couldn't believe it, mate. People were so moved just by the energy,

and I think you just summed up what the Olympics gave us all it

it brought the country together and I think you summed that up that passion the joy I

think people remembered that you gave us something and also the charity that you're

representing is an incredible charity in a really important one incredible

I don't think many people can do what they did they They were stowed, dogged, you know, courageous.

The Aussie spirit, these guys, mate. I lived around the corner. I lived at the Sunshine Coast.
