Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. God 104.3 is the Friday show, Christian O'Connell's show here. Jack, happy Friday. Good morning, guys. And happy Friday. Welcome to the weekend, Patsy. You too. Woo! What are you watching this weekend, Pat? I did promise Audrey that I would take it to the show tomorrow. Oh, wow. Oh, busy. Yes. So I said, get up, we are going.

This is a bit like Chris when we're going somewhere. that I would take her to the show tomorrow. Oh, wow. Oh, busy. Yes.

So I said, get up. We are going. This is a bit like Chris, when we're going somewhere. We are leaving the house at 8 o'clock, so no sleeping in. I got home from work yesterday at like 11. She was still in bed. Yeah, I'm not surprised by that. Yeah. Our teenager gets up at 11.30 to school holidays. and we'll wake up yawning and tired.

Yes.

I'm like, I don't know how you're still tied. I've done a whole day's work. Yeah. And what are you up to this weekend, Jack? I've got a first birthday on Sunday, which is... Boring. Yeah, it is. No, it is. Let's be honest. This is a friend of mine and I love him and love his kids. But there's so many birthdays on at the moment. Actually, over the long weekend, grand final weekend, I skipped one to play golf and I'm in the bad books with Bianca. So there ain't no skipping the birthdays anymore. Wow. That is bold. That is bold. But they're're every which way I know it's expensive too

and also there's nothing going on really there's nothing they're just a little they're a

blob yeah you shouldn't really go to being asked to come to a birthday boy until they're five and

over yeah no but it's more for the adults isn't it it's nice to get together and you know what

they should know what actually this is what we should do. All the parents should choose one day out of the year, like August 20th, and go, we're all going to celebrate our kids on that day, have a big old party. That actually is a very good idea. Pat each other on the bat and it's all done. Yes. It's like the horse's birthday. When's the horse's birthday? The horse has a birthday once a year. So all the horses.

Yes.

Is it? It's all done. Yes. It's like the horse's birthday. When's the horse's birthday?

The horse has a birthday once a year. I think it's August first. Yes. Is it? Yeah. So it's like for the kids. This weekend on Sunday I've been invited to go and do a talk at the Elwood Dad's Group. Which I'm really, really looking forward to. Yeah. What do you have to speak about? Well, get, to guess, it's the Elwood Dads Group.

Yeah, but are you coming in as like a professional dad? Well, not professional Dad. I'm very much an hapless amateur dad. It's just to talk about, I think a couple of them listen to the show. And they just want me to come and chat about my opinions and thoughts and experiences of being a dad. and chat to other dads. They're all dads. Are they mostly young dads or are they? Mix. Mix. You've got teenagers, little ones as well. There's about 30 or 40 dads. It's a regular, regular monthly thing. They get around each other. I think it's a great idea. So, yeah, really, really kind of looking for doing that Sunday afternoon. All right, coming on next time, we're getting to this week's double thumbs up. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Every Friday, then, to help you not have an argument this weekend when you're in front of the TV, and you're like, what should we watch? And then you start flicking through all the different things on Foxdale. They're different streaming apps now, looking for TV shows or movies.

We just tell you about the things that we're really enjoying at the moment. Patsy, what's it for you? Yeah, you know what I've got onto on Stan this week? It's just dropped brand new series called Joan. Oh, I've seen all the big adverts for this. It's so cool. So it's based, it's a true life story in Britain of a woman in the 80s who turned into become this notorious jewelry thief.

Yes.

And it is so well made.

You know what?

The minute I turned it on, I loved it because it's just the soundtrack is incredible.

Just all these 80s songs.

It's brilliant.

It is so good.
