Got anything good?

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

Patsy, how was your day yesterday?

Had an interesting day.

Our daughter, who is 14, is doing her Duke of Ed at school this year, which is brilliant.

Worldwide scheme.

And they have to do three things.

So they have to do three activities, essentially.

One volunteer, and she's cooking at the local soup kitchen near school, which is great.

Another skill has to be a skill, essentially. So she's going to do piano for that and keyboard in her music

class. And the third one, they're really lowering the bar. Duke of Henry used to be, you used to have to, like, live outdoors for a week.

And the UK is really extreme. Oh, really? Yeah, no, you have to go hiking and orienting, and they camp out for like a week. There's like the bronze, silver gold version of it. The gold one, I think it was about 10 or 12 years ago. I was invited to St. James's Palace to do a speech to all the recipients of the Gold Award ones. I'm doing this speech and then the main man comes in. Oh, the jig? Yes. Prince Philip starts heckling me. No, shame, he was like in his 90s, right? I've never seen him before in my life. Really funny. He was like in his, yeah, I think he was 92 at the time, 91, 92.

Incredible Prince, but it starts heckling me, right?

And I then said to him, are you here to get your Not Dead Yet award?

And he sent me a note a couple of days later.

He just signed Duke of Edinburgh, P.S. Still Not Dead yet.

These kids had like lived outdoors for a week.

It was, like, really extreme what they'd done.

Oh, well, maybe she's gone the easy way out.

It might be the Australian version.

Eat a Tim Tam.
