| 0:00.0 | Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | Knock off Friday. We ask you the best question on a Friday. What time are you knocking off today? |
| 0:08.0 | And then what is the highlight? What is this weekend all about? What a big weekend. |
| 0:12.0 | You don't look like someone who's looking forward to the boys weekend. |
| 0:15.0 | Turn that frown upside down. |
| 0:18.0 | No, I am. There's a lot of my plate, a lot of admin still to do today. But can I thank everybody, the show and the listeners, for coming to my support. We successfully kick two kids off the boys' weekend. Get it. And we're going to change the dynamic completely. Show one, kids, zero. 95% of people on the poll on our Instagram said absolutely not to the kids on the boys weekend away. |
| 0:41.3 | And one of the dads rang the weakest chain in the link, and that's his Jackie Boy, asking if he could bring his twins. |
| 0:48.3 | Gutless. He rang me privately as well. He couldn't even put it on the group. |
| 0:51.4 | He knew. He knew how to do it. |
| 0:53.0 | I noticed about there, one of the few and the 5% that said you can bring kids, Rio, our producer, trying to ruin your weekend. The only people who voted to you. If I'd known that, I would have done that as well. Rick Rowling. The only people who voted to have kids were all trolls, and Rio is a troll. All right, so, 941-1043. What time you're knocking off today and what is your weekend? Adam, good morning. Morning, I've already knocked off. I work longer hours Monday to Thursday, so I don't work Fridays anymore. Oh, what a great way to do it. And how long have you been doing that? No Fridays? Started about, or, three months ago, four months ago, maybe a bit longer. And has it changed your life to do not like that? Absolutely. Three-day weekends are the best. We should all be working longer hours, Monday, the Thursday and have a long weekend. So if we go and pitch that to LaBos, what does that mean? Sort of breakfast show 6 to 11. I would do that Friday off. Careful about saying that out loud. You want to do 6 to 11? I'll do 6 to 10. You're done at 8.45. What are those breaks going to be like between 10 and 11? I'm not sure Mel wants to hear. So how long are the days then Monday to Thursday, Adam? About 10 hours. |
| 2:01.6 | That's a long day though, isn't it? |
| 2:03.6 | Yeah, it's good, though, because you get the long weekend to recover. And I guess you know why you're doing it, don't you? You get the long weekend. Correct. That is brilliant. So what are you doing with your long weekend then? I've got my mate Marissa's 40th tonight |
| 1:59.7 | and my son is playing footy for the Mighty Nan'Agoon Football Club on Sunday in finals. Big clash the Titans. Do you think the team are going to win? Yeah, they should win. They should win the first final, and then we go from there. So, yes, it's going to be interesting. And what's your son's name? |
| 2:34.5 | Give him a shout out on the team. |
| 2:30.7 | Shout out to Ollie and the Nanagoon under 10 blue team. Go the blues. Come on. The blue team. I love that. The greatest strongest Matt's got. Playing the red team. The blues versus reds. All right. Adam, good on you. Have a nice weekend. and good luck to his son. |
| 2:31.5 | Thanks all. |
| 2:33.2 | Naomi, good morning. |
| 2:35.1 | Morning, Christian. |
| 3:25.8 | How are you going? We are good. Sounds like you very started your weekend. Oh, I wish I was, mate. I wish I was. I'm knocking off at 4.30 tonight. I'm going to get my hair done. And then tomorrow I'm getting on a plane and I'm heading to Darwin for a week. Brilliant. I've always wanted to go to Northern Territus. How amazing. So what are you doing up there? You're on a holiday? Yeah, me and my partner, we're leaving the kids behind and we're going up to do a couple of crocodile cruises and just drink the week away. Good to get your hair done as well before you go on that crocodile proof. |
| 3:27.1 | Oh yeah, those crocodiles. They only go for people with split ends, don't they? |
| 3:32.5 | At least I look good if I get eaten by a crocodile, right? |
| 3:34.8 | Yes, yeah. |
