Christian.

Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Thank you very much, so everyone who came along to spend their Father's Day with us yesterday.

There were a hundred of you.

Someone we wanted to do for Father's Day this year to try and make a bit more of it.

And the non-existent lunch, you get their Mother's Day lunch, you know, it's restaurants all over town, sold out weeks in advance, not the same,

come September and Father's Day.

So we want to do something different.

And thank you very much because we said a couple of weeks ago we can't do what we would

like to do with Jack and I to host on Father's Day Lunch if we don't partner up with

a venue.

And Colonial Brewing Company in Port Melbourne, Lockie and the team there, they stepped forward and they hosted us yesterday and it's a lovely spot there.

Food was great.

So much better than the Scout Hall that you wanted.

We had a very low bar at the start.

We were going to do hot dogs in an empty ball.

Thank God.

Thank God and some lukewarm beer. But the food was great, beer was great and the atmosphere in there was fantastic.

Yeah. It was brilliant. It was lovely to meet so many families, so many fellow dads as well

in 18 years of me being a dad. My favorite of the Father's Day, it was such a lovely

atmosphere to be in, to be with other dads as well.

And a couple of other dads reminded me that for the last two years, Father's Day, it's been in lockdown.
