Got anything good?

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

Now, I don't know in the morning whether you're a caffeine drinker or like me, you're a tea

drinker, but we've been on, like, a lot of Australian radio shows on a break for just a short one in Australian radio,

just a cheek little four weeks. And these mugs haven't been cleaned in four weeks. I'm drinking that tea and I'm drinking... I think I'm going to be... It's a petri dish. I think I'm out to become a super spruiter. That ain't right. Yeah, no, I saw... No, the drink is talking to me. There's something from Stranger Things. Bonus episode of what's in this mug.

Yeah, it is rough.

I saw it when I first came in.

That tastes funky, guys.

I'm calling it now.

If I grow a second head by Friday, that mug a tea.

It is.

I'm surprised they went with that mug for your first tea of the day because I saw that this morning.

Someone is trying to take me out of

the game. That is not good. I would say my Monday winner and I would say actually more importantly

my 21 year old daughter Ruby is a Monday winner. So last year my 21 year old daughter Ruby had a

terrible terrible year. She had some kind of thing going on with the back and she couldn't walk more than five or ten minutes she'd need to stop and sit down and she's something

i think at one point she'd had five MRI scans which is a lot in a year different consultants

saying we think it's this we think it's the sacroa we'd get she would show up to all this physio

she just was not getting better and then someone recommended somebody in december and you know bless her she kept showing up to all these appointments tirelessly and then she just this amazing guy just said it's none of that you were never going to get better it's this a region of the spine have any of you ever heard of have any of us heard of the multifitous region i'm not familiar yeah it's lower in the spine and there are a load of muscles and nerves that are very hard to activate. So if you have a bad back, the pain receptors turn off the nerves. So they go to sleep. And so when she's had a year of a bad back, those nerves aren't being activated through just exercise. Right. So she went into hospital yesterday five minutes from here. And the surgeon said to it, do you know what? The wonders of medicine, Ruby, I can fix you. Ten years ago, I would have said there's nothing we can do. You've got to go back to physio and really hope that you can stimulate them, but it's going to take time. She had, yesterday, she had this thing fitted. It's incredible, actually.

It's the size of a pacemaker.

So it inserted it in her back yesterday.
