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

Christian, thank you very much to playing Abba 10 minutes ago, exactly what I needed to hear and get me going today. After three weeks off and my first day back at work, actually, what are the odds? You play Abba, and I'm listening to the show for the first time with three weeks. I'd been to Europe. I've been to London where I went to see Abba Voyar. Oh, lucky thing.

Yeah, I'm so jealous.

It doesn't look like he's going to be coming here, which is a real shame. Now, talk about Abba. We have on the show, I didn't realize Tina, who's a lovely producer on the show, I didn't realize he's a mega Abba fan. Did you know that, Pat? No, I didn't. Oh, no, no, no. She came in and she started, she was screaming earlier when we were talking on air.

Not unusual for the producers to be screaming at me mainly about something. Oh, no, no, no, no. She came in and she started to, she was screaming earlier when we were talking on air.

Not unusual for the British to be screaming at me mainly about something I'm getting wrong or something I'm saying.

But we were getting the name, the name we thought was Arnie isn't the name of the second lady in Abba.

Tina, what's the name?

So it's Anna Freed, but it's Frida.

So you got Agnitha Abbey. Oh, where's Annie from?

Where are we getting Annie from?

Annie Frid.

Annie Frid.

Oh, I see.

And the other thing is, I did not know, not at Rio, that the Abba name comes from their initials.

Yeah. I had no idea. That's crazy. I can't believe she don't know what he knew. Alex, do you know that? I did not know that. I didn't know that. I'm only finding this information out now. What, her relation? But Anna Fried. Oh, okay. Okay. She's getting quite upset over there, isn't she? It should be Fab. Yeah. Faber! Fabo's a great name. Renamed them, rebrand. So how much to tell them? Patsy, did you know Abba each of their initials? Well, I couldn't... I never remember the fourth member of the group. That's the trouble. Yes, because it shouldn't be. Never.

Yeah.

And the other thing is Tina was telling me that as part of her interview process here,

she was asked to cast Abba the movie.

And I was like, what do you mean?
