Christian.

Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Happy Friday, Jack Post. How are you guys? I'm good. Happy Friday, Pat. You too. Now, this show is on a break next week. Radio has a little mini break for a week. And I know all of you right now, I get the feeling of saying, gosh, Christian, it's only been a 10 short week since you last had a break. By God, you really do take that another week on our behalf of Christian. So we are on a break next week. What is everyone doing? Patsy, what are you doing? Working actually for a little bit. I'm on weekend today, I believe, tomorrow morning. Wow, you're really? Again, which will be fun. Awesome. Talking about news. Hey, congratulations.

That's great news.

Yeah, no, it'll be good.

And doing a little bit of podcast work. It is a busy week, actually. And Ords has got school production next week. She's got another week. Oh, wow. So I'll be in mummy mode next week, which will be fun. Yeah, our daughter doesn't break up to another week. My wife and I going away for this weekend.

The last 10 weeks has been an intense 10 weeks, really big.

So we're looking forward to actually getting away the pair of us, actually.

Jackie Boy, what are you doing? Yeah, we're putting our feet up as well. We're going down to Andy Lee's beach house. He's giving us the keys for a few nights. Amazing. I hope the weather's great. Yeah, me too. And then next week, next Wednesday, I've got to come back because I sign myself up to something that I think about every night before I go to sleep and I'm so nervous to do.

But I've got an improv night at Comedy Republic where I've never done improv before, but I'm like a guest on stage with them.

It's giving me that knot in my stomach feeling. But that's because actually it's good to stretch.

You're a funny guy every day improv,

but it's because you're thinking about it differently

because you're turning it into performance.

You don't really get like that before the show.

You just turn up and you are naturally funny.

Do you know how hard it was though to look at a week off and go, God, I could just be sitting by a pool with a book open? But why you've not chosen that? And I think this is part of 75 hard is that you're actually looking for more areas to stretch yourself. You've got to steer into what's harder. Yeah, lean into it. It's a different skill set doing those improv nightlies.

They're testy sometimes.

If anyone wants to come and see it next Wednesday night at Comedy Republic 8 o'clock,

I think it's called The Comedy Group is called Something Good.

That Comedy Republic is a great venue as well.

That is an awesome room.

So what are you doing the next Tuesday night?
