Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Hi, podcasters. It's Patsy here. It's been a year of landmarks for Christian as a dad,

with one daughter turning 16 and another becoming an adult and finishing school.

We love hearing his stories about fatherhood, so we picked favourites and put them into this podcast for you.

Tall on a brighter note, you're listening to the Christian O'Connell

Show podcast. Saturday sports.

So my wife and I, two daughters, 15-year-old, 17-year-old.

My wife decided that she would take the easy option.

The 17-year-old, she's okay, getting out of bed early in the morning on

Saturday. She's decided to

after last year rowing jimba when i was twice a week before the she before even getting into

her dropping off at 5 a.m for training session enormous effort and then like in the middle of winter

pouring rain out on a lake right she's now retired as row, and she decided to pick another really intense sport.

She went for lawn bowls because she's 17 going on 70.

So she had a big old lawn bowls showdown against two other schools at the weekend.

And she actually won.

My wife decided I would take Loisar, 15 year old,

and this is where they're troubled with gun, right?

We made a deal on Friday.

I said to her, hey, listen, you know,

it doesn't need to be,

doesn't need to be bad, does it tomorrow morning?
