Speaker 1: It's a Christian a Commons show podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Wednesday morning. Let's get into it. You
Speaker 2: two must remember them what it was like when at
Speaker 2: the end of the school term you could come in
Speaker 2: casual clothes. This was my house yesterday and obviously we're daughters.
Speaker 2: Wow we I would go, hey, and you gotta be
Speaker 2: really careful now, because I started to say, I'm conscious
Speaker 2: now about what I say arount rewarding how they look. Yes,
Speaker 2: so I said to my six year old, how does
Speaker 2: that making you feel? That outfit? She just meant to me,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell me what it looks like.
Speaker 2: I went, I'm hearing it at the moment. That's not
Speaker 2: a good thing. We had a lot of tension yesterday
Speaker 2: just around the wording around it, you know. And I'm
Speaker 2: trying to retrain these feminists as well, saying I thought
Speaker 2: you were feminists. You always took correct me. Now you
Speaker 2: just want my approval and how you look physically. I'm
Speaker 2: more interested in your soul and how it makes you feel.
Speaker 2: So we had a lot of going on yesterday about
Speaker 2: there must have been seven different outfit changes. At first,
Speaker 2: I was getting reallyto it because I said the first
Speaker 2: outfit looks great. I picked that one and she was like, no,
Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's trying too hard. And then
Speaker 2: I had to think back to what it was like
Speaker 2: when I was that age. When you're sixteen, you overthought
Speaker 2: everything you had to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least for a boy. It was just like
Speaker 3: what T shirts?
Speaker 2: For me?
Speaker 4: It's all about trainers for me, that shit end off.
Speaker 4: What band T shirt?
Speaker 2: Am I going to wear?
Speaker 4: The casual Clothes Day was the biggest decision I had. Yeah,
Speaker 4: And what were the options for you?
Speaker 3: The green day Green Day or the other.
Speaker 2: Green day one or the green Day one in the
Speaker 2: washes it dry.
Speaker 4: Or I also remember the night before casual Clothes Day
Speaker 4: trying to put rips in my jeans, but because I
Speaker 4: used the Stanley knife, the rip come out to way
Speaker 4: too clean.
Speaker 2: So just like a perfect slit across the leaves, so
Speaker 2: you basically weren't asks chaps. It's a good look for
Speaker 2: a young guy around town.
Speaker 4: It didn't really have the distressed look. It looked like distressed.
Speaker 2: You were distressed. The other thing as well, because it
Speaker 2: was for me, and perhaps it was the eighties, is
Speaker 2: like the big thing when I was sixteen is this
Speaker 2: you know they say, oh fashion, it's all sicklic called
Speaker 2: come back. I can guarantee what I'm about to tell
Speaker 2: you will never ever come back again. I can't believe
Speaker 2: it was ever a thing but fluorescent covered socks. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: do you remember those? Like, I mean floresca like for
Speaker 2: boys and girls. It was like the bright sort of
Speaker 2: orange ones, the green ones. Do youmber those fluoro socks? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So the idea was to because you're wearing jeans, obviously, so.
Speaker 2: I shuddered out at what I actually thought. This is
Speaker 2: a great look, this is gonna be I'll be the
Speaker 2: only guy I know it was. I was the only
Speaker 2: guy wearing black sort of drain pipe jeans I still
Speaker 2: wear now with bright orange florescent socks. The jeans rolled
Speaker 2: up so you can see those socks, but not too
Speaker 2: rolled up, more like, oh, did you notice these green
Speaker 2: high vis socks? Right? And then a pair of sparkling
Speaker 2: white trainers that almost hurt the eye. There were these
Speaker 2: Adida shell tops. It was a head of her look
Speaker 2: a hell of a look, Patsy Jimmer, your looks what
Speaker 2: used to go for?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, though I can empathize with the girls.
Speaker 5: That was terrifying. I used to spend days, but it
Speaker 5: wasn't just the clothes were like, it's.
Speaker 2: Like an hour and a half yesterday evening. Then they
Speaker 2: would go out there with two different showers to do
Speaker 2: her hair in a different way. It was like some
Speaker 2: sort of red carpet production in the house, right. And
Speaker 2: then then when she went to bellowent, so you're happy
Speaker 2: with everything you wear and it went, no, this is
Speaker 2: like your mum, I said, it looks great. You're going
Speaker 2: to look great. To other was I no, know, you're
Speaker 2: going to feel great tomorrow. You're going to feel great.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Talking about you'd have the end of term dress up
Speaker 2: day at school. My daughters have both got it today,
Speaker 2: so yesterday evening, which is the noise of a lot
Speaker 2: of frustration, a lot of meltdowns, hair dryers going on
Speaker 2: and off, back in the shower to take that head off,
Speaker 2: and then in the hair drive back on. I've slammed you.
Speaker 2: Slamming of doors is my life at the moment, the
Speaker 2: bulk of my conversation with two teenage daughters on the
Speaker 2: other side of a shut door. You know, I don't
Speaker 2: just want to barge in where they're like, oh ah,
Speaker 2: there's nothing else saying our house and I'm not there
Speaker 2: through the gap. It's okay, it's okay. Can I a
Speaker 2: couple of tea always helps us. Pummies like a cup
Speaker 2: of teas and biscuits. Yes, as I made them a
Speaker 2: hot chocolate. It's like a cold animal. I said, I'll
Speaker 2: just leave it here the other side of the door,
Speaker 2: and I heard this, it's a tratt Don't live your
Speaker 2: life like that.
Speaker 4: You need one of those prison so you can push
Speaker 4: it through, and then the little square window so that
Speaker 4: you can still speak.
Speaker 1: Opening.
Speaker 2: I don't need one of those shutters at the maximum
Speaker 2: security facility. The bulk of my teenage dad heard at
Speaker 2: the moment is through the other side of a slam door.
Speaker 2: Just you're you're right in there, trying that little wedge.
Speaker 2: Your cat's out here. What's the going and have a chat? Hi,
Speaker 2: I can stay here for a bit.
Speaker 4: The bick hard chocolate will solve the world's problem.
Speaker 2: Chocolate and some biscuits. Anyway. I then went downstairs and
Speaker 2: I didn't really sound right. I said to wif, I
Speaker 2: just give it ten minutes and see if they're eating
Speaker 2: the biscuits or anything. I cropped back up.
Speaker 4: There, honestly, like putting food out for angels.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they're wild animals, but I am saying
Speaker 2: they're wild animals. I went mad up just to see
Speaker 2: they've taken the biscuits, but sadly left the hot chocolate.
Speaker 2: I've got to be honest. I then went like this.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I was thinking. I went that
Speaker 2: was actually a really nice hot chocolate.
Speaker 1: The Christian o'connells Show podcast.

Speaker 2: This is I'll say this has been shoved in there.
Speaker 4: This is a came out beanbag. Great bean bag for
Speaker 4: anybody who wants to sit in the bean bags.
Speaker 2: Target audience right there for bean bags. Anyone wants to
Speaker 2: sit in a bean bag. So on the adverts. There's
Speaker 2: never been a bit of time to sit in a
Speaker 2: bean bag this long easter weekend.
Speaker 4: COVID friendly, Have you always dreamed of sitting in the
Speaker 4: bean bag? Olive tear drop green bean bag? No, I
Speaker 4: put in green because that's what olive.
Speaker 2: Is, but just double up on that color.
Speaker 3: This is the last week.
Speaker 4: I had a bean bag issue where I had a
Speaker 4: leather bean bag that popped a hole in it.
Speaker 3: It was too thick to stitch back up.
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, I remember now.
Speaker 3: So I didn't know what to do with the hole.
Speaker 4: Somebody said, get a cheap bean bag, put it inside
Speaker 4: your bean bag. Yeah, and then you won't have any balls.
Speaker 2: Get out of the hole.
Speaker 3: That's what I bought this for.
Speaker 4: And then I got home, opened up the big leather
Speaker 4: bean bag, saw all those balls and there's billions of millias.
Speaker 4: I've got to get all these balls out of this
Speaker 4: bean bag. Get it, get the new olive green bean
Speaker 4: bag into the other bean bag and that's too sure
Speaker 4: balls bag, And I thought, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: They go Why did I bother? Why did I bother? Plus,
Speaker 2: once you open up those balls, they're just not leaping
Speaker 2: up everyway, so they got freedom. They have no d
Speaker 2: day landing. They're like getting off the boats landing on
Speaker 2: the beach.
Speaker 4: They do not respect gravity in anyway.
Speaker 3: So I didn't want it's unused. This is unused.
Speaker 4: Besides, I did take it out of the packaging to
Speaker 4: try and get in there and decide better of it.
Speaker 4: But besides that, this is an unused, perfectly mint conditioned
Speaker 4: green bag in mint green colored olive.
Speaker 2: Let's just get its green olive.
Speaker 4: Yes, I just don't know any other selling points I
Speaker 4: keep having.
Speaker 2: Which she just points out. It's not technically a bean bag,
Speaker 2: is it. There are no beans. It's just actually you're
Speaker 2: giving away, giving away it's an empty bag.
Speaker 4: It's the bean bag shell.
Speaker 2: What's happening to the show this week? Two days ago? No, yesterday,

Speaker 2: buy I'll shout you those beans because that's what they'll
Speaker 2: be worried about. So the bean bag skin, because that's

Speaker 2: that money actually money can buy. How much was that
Speaker 2: bean bag sack?
Speaker 4: Well, it's invaluable to the person who gets it.
Speaker 2: Not in value, I think you mean priceless. It is
Speaker 2: invaluable telling the truth on commercial radio, so much to learn. Technically,
Speaker 2: you're right, it's a correct Freudian slip.

Speaker 2: Hey you getting on here on the big show. There's
Speaker 2: a little five dollars and old Jackie bye. Always pay
Speaker 2: it back.
Speaker 6: Hello, good money.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: This is breaking news. We literally were listening to Patsy's
Speaker 2: News and she was talking about this incredible story about mullets,
Speaker 2: which to me is it's an Australian institution. Of course,
Speaker 2: it's never gone away here the rest of the world.
Speaker 2: We moved on and you guys like, no, we'll keep that,
Speaker 2: We'll keep that. We don't we don't worry about the muddet.
Speaker 2: It's permanent here.
Speaker 4: And in twenty twenty one, I feel like it's coming
Speaker 4: back with a real research And do you know who
Speaker 4: led that?
Speaker 8: You?
Speaker 3: Thank you? I did have it. I've got more of
Speaker 3: a bay Be mullet you would call.
Speaker 2: I don't want to people think, you know, I called
Speaker 2: it an office munet. Yes, it says, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: I working off first, but I'm still a study. Yeah,
Speaker 2: party but during the week's business, party at the weekend,
Speaker 2: and party at the back.
Speaker 4: So when I hear that a school wants to ban mullets,
Speaker 4: that's very close to my heart is the mulletwaarer. Trinity
Speaker 4: College in Perth bands mullet haircuts, calling them unacceptable.
Speaker 2: That this feels un Australian. Why what do they think
Speaker 2: is going to happen? If they're one of their young
Speaker 2: bright young sparks on the actent titled young Men, How's
Speaker 2: a munet?
Speaker 4: This is the quote from the college. It is without
Speaker 4: reservation that the college sets a clear requirement that ensures
Speaker 4: health and safety as well as setting a high standard
Speaker 4: for personal presentation.
Speaker 2: Health and safety, gonta do with the money? Maybe you've
Speaker 2: got animals, little woodland animals living in there. I get it.
Speaker 4: Okay, maybe the back of a mullet could fall into
Speaker 4: heavy machinery.
Speaker 2: And because you have a lot of those private schools,
Speaker 2: you know, they're all training them to work on lanes.
Speaker 4: But yeah, claiming that health and safety issues and personal presentation,
Speaker 4: students who do not meet the school's grooming standards will
Speaker 4: be picked up by their parents in order to get
Speaker 4: a haircut.
Speaker 2: Wow. Really, so what they're going to have like mullet
Speaker 2: inspectors at the school gates, like measuring rat tails and
Speaker 2: going when does their haircut? Governor's been a haircut? To
Speaker 2: actually a mullet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder if I would get through this school
Speaker 4: doors with this business mullet.
Speaker 2: I think you would because it's an acceptab mullet. It's
Speaker 2: a mullet with a little lowercase M.
Speaker 4: And then what and at what point do they start
Speaker 4: to trim it?
Speaker 5: Well, it gets on the shoulders.
Speaker 4: Really, I think you can get a mullet because it's
Speaker 4: some mullets kick at the back, so they wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Necessarily know who right now, if I was, I don't
Speaker 2: work for the Mullet Organization of Australia. I don't know
Speaker 2: if there is one, like a council. If I didn't
Speaker 2: in PR right now, I don't know why I sign
Speaker 2: up to be your poster boy. Who is the Dog's play?
Speaker 4: Is a mullet?
Speaker 2: That is, it's a beautiful money It screams an eighties
Speaker 2: movie of like like Biff.
Speaker 4: Tanners, because you almost want to go up to it
Speaker 4: and just check.
Speaker 3: It's not an Andreasy style wik It's that good.
Speaker 2: Huge if it is true that actually is a.
Speaker 4: Syrup Western Austrain premiere. Mark McGowan, he's not weighed in
Speaker 4: on this.
Speaker 2: He has he's got better stuff to talk about. There's
Speaker 2: some kid's hair.
Speaker 4: He claims that he's personally fond of the mullet, but
Speaker 4: he says rat tails are a step too far.
Speaker 2: Politically. It's actually it's political if it goes to a
Speaker 2: rat tails.
Speaker 4: It's actually quote was, I'm very pro mullet, but I'm
Speaker 4: not pro rat tails. Rattails are a bit beyond the pale.
Speaker 2: Beyond the pal This is amazing, right A minister like that,
Speaker 2: he's going to be advised by people. They have to
Speaker 2: every kind of statement they put out there, the newance
Speaker 2: of it could what's the worst case scenario, what the
Speaker 2: optics look like here? And then I said, you're going
Speaker 2: to have to have an opinion on this.
Speaker 4: You've got to speak now. It's front page news. This
Speaker 4: is too hot for Mark. You've got to have a
Speaker 4: comment on there.
Speaker 2: So what's the lot about beyond the pale?
Speaker 4: He's pro mullet, but he's not pro rat tail. Rat
Speaker 4: tails are beyond the pale.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard the phrase beyond the power outside of
Speaker 2: downtown Abbey Lord Crawley and that used to use it
Speaker 2: a lot. What got banned at your school? Then lots
Speaker 2: of things get banned at schools over the disse years
Speaker 2: are different. Fans come in and go out. What got
Speaker 2: banned at your school?
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: In Birth, very posh Hogwarts basically.
Speaker 3: No mullets at Hogwarts.
Speaker 2: You didn't see a mullet, the magical mullets? What was
Speaker 2: this one of the house rules of Smither. Of course
Speaker 2: Hogwarts fans, very posh school in Birth has today just
Speaker 2: suddenly banned the mullet.
Speaker 4: If if a student rocks up with a mullet they'll
Speaker 4: be sent home or sent straight to the hairdressers to
Speaker 4: get a hairclut.
Speaker 2: I tell you what, though, whenever you heard about one
Speaker 2: of your mates or someone at the school being sent
Speaker 2: home by the head one a day, that was huge.
Speaker 2: If true, it was all anyone was talking about. Do
Speaker 2: you remember, And then the rumors and lies would spread
Speaker 2: to eventually they killed the head masters and you will go,
Speaker 2: but none of you would go. That doesn't seem right.
Speaker 4: We'll never see me again.
Speaker 2: It was we'd be back in tomorrow. Always have been
Speaker 2: sent home. I want to go. It wasn't a punishment either,
Speaker 2: being sent home. You dream of that day do even
Speaker 2: when you fake sickness or it's too hot, or in
Speaker 2: England if it was too cold, more likely then you
Speaker 2: get sent home. But they've banned the munet, so you'll
Speaker 2: be sent home if you rock up with the munnet.
Speaker 4: Luckily, Premiere of Western Australia Mark McGowan has come out
Speaker 4: and defended the mullet. Said he's personally fond of the mullet,
Speaker 4: but he said he's not pro rat tail, so if
Speaker 4: kids come with rattails, he says that.
Speaker 2: Does he needs to have an opinion on munnets anyway,
Speaker 2: But then to draw the line.
Speaker 4: At a rat No one asked about a rat tail.
Speaker 4: He said they were beyond the pale. If you're interested,
Speaker 4: I found out you don't hear that phrase a lot
Speaker 4: beyond the pal. So it's not power like the conner. No,
Speaker 4: it comes from pale as in paling fences to mean
Speaker 4: the area enclosed by such a fence that is enclosed
Speaker 4: and safe. So to be beyond the pale is to
Speaker 4: be outside the safe area.
Speaker 2: So the safe area as a monnet. Yeah, the other
Speaker 2: side of that impowed fence is the rattail field. Yes,
Speaker 2: don't put yourself of that field in life. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: let's go to line. So talking about what got banned
Speaker 2: at your school, Jack, we'll got banned at your school?
Speaker 4: Oh, we had Marble's band at our primary school. Why
Speaker 4: it just became an obsession and became like a currency,
Speaker 4: black market currency of people trading marbles.
Speaker 2: Are you sure you weren't in a prison current currency
Speaker 2: to do what we well.
Speaker 4: Just the kids trading marbles and who had the more
Speaker 4: expensive marbles. The way they banned it was really good.
Speaker 4: They said, we're going to have a marble Day from
Speaker 4: nine am to three pm is all marbles guarantee, and
Speaker 4: then after that no marbles for the rest of you know,
Speaker 4: your primary school life. So we had this great day
Speaker 4: where everyone bought their marbles. We had marble runs.
Speaker 2: Going, but attends with the sadness that you know is
Speaker 2: going to come to an end.
Speaker 4: But it's still a better way to go out than
Speaker 4: just having a straight up beat.
Speaker 2: I'm happy it's the end of the school term for us.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow on the show, we're doing all Vinyl. Would you
Speaker 2: like to bring your marbles.
Speaker 3: In them anymore?
Speaker 4: What would when do you buy marbles?
Speaker 2: Toy shop get marbles?
Speaker 3: Marbles?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this will literally date when I went to school
Speaker 2: with a decade like nunchucks and ninja throwing stars and
Speaker 2: for something banned that means someone took them into school
Speaker 2: one day and then was you know, there's always that
Speaker 2: thug all right in the senior year that the teachers

Speaker 2: when marbles was chosen as the deciding game of a
Speaker 2: legendary sporting encounter between two young suitors, Charles and Hodge
Speaker 2: over the hand of a Tinsley Green milkmaiden named Joan.
Speaker 2: This is amazing.
Speaker 4: Marbles is one of the oldest sports then, older than
Speaker 4: all the modern sports we love.
Speaker 2: This is incredible. There was even talk about it the
Speaker 2: early Olympics, whether there not marbles. I'm looking at the
Speaker 2: historical timeline of marbles obviously, like I said, going starting
Speaker 2: in fifteen eighty eight, the only time that they didn't
Speaker 2: have the World Championships. This goes to so what a
Speaker 2: big event. It was nineteen forty two to nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2: It just says here on Wikipedia. No tournaments were held
Speaker 2: during the Second World War. Too busy fighting, Hitler. You
Speaker 2: need the used to throw marbles at the Germans.

Speaker 6: anybody caught the position to summary suspension.
Speaker 2: Do you know what? I used to love metal work
Speaker 2: lessons at school because I don't know about you, Mett,
Speaker 2: but the teacher used to take us right. He would
Speaker 2: sort of set up what you meant to be making
Speaker 2: that day and you'd have access to all this heavy
Speaker 2: machinery for drills and cutting metal and winter. Then he
Speaker 2: would go off and have a cigarette around the side,
Speaker 2: saying you had to go marks and papers. Right, So
Speaker 2: about ten or fifteen minutes you were in charge. Are
Speaker 2: basically a factory kids, heavy machinery. Of course you're gonna

Speaker 2: crazy guy marbles about the World Championships are back. Laurel
Speaker 2: and Hardy entered the team to just bring cheer back
Speaker 2: to the world. Laurel and Hardy entered a team into
Speaker 2: the World Marble Championships in nineteen forty seven. And I've
Speaker 2: just had an email from someone who is a professor
Speaker 2: of history at a university here who said that actually
Speaker 2: the ancient Greeks and the Romans all played marbles. That's
Speaker 2: how Caesar became the leader game of marbles. Who knew?

Speaker 2: The question is now that it's banned that, why was that?
Speaker 2: How was that ever a thing? How long did that
Speaker 2: even go on for? It's the big question there. Jackie
Speaker 2: Boy yesterday was talking the show about how there's some
Speaker 2: roadworks going on and you're not getting deliveries and uber
Speaker 2: eats and the rest of it from the post office.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything's going to the post office. So I walked
Speaker 4: down there to pick up a package yesterday. I was
Speaker 4: expecting one thing, and when I got there, she had
Speaker 4: three things for the address ready to take home.
Speaker 2: And how long is this trip? Five to ten minutes?
Speaker 4: It's a ten minute walk, Yeah, maybe a couple of
Speaker 4: k's and I should have What I should have done
Speaker 4: is gone back home, get the car and come and
Speaker 4: pick it up. But you've got that opportunity to go. No,
Speaker 4: I'm here now.
Speaker 2: I want to get it all done, checking off it
Speaker 2: from the to do list.
Speaker 4: So it was like one normal shaped box, then some
Speaker 4: cleaning products in a weirdly triangular box, and then some
Speaker 4: car mats in a big.
Speaker 2: Flat races in town for the eastern donuts and burnouts
Speaker 2: again that Tesla car mats got that big old seatbelt,
Speaker 2: the Racaro.
Speaker 3: One where it says there's nothing just so you don't.
Speaker 2: Oh, bless him always in some crap box of a
Speaker 2: car as well, no car seat, just Raccaro F one
Speaker 2: Hamilton nine hundred.
Speaker 4: Either way, I'd ordered the car mates, I was getting
Speaker 4: him home. The other thing is I had Luna waiting
Speaker 4: outside on the lead for me outside.
Speaker 2: The post lovely walkd to go to the post office
Speaker 2: thirty two going on seventy two, old man with a dog.
Speaker 4: So I'm trying to juggle all the different boxes in
Speaker 4: the perfect arrangement. Car mats under the holding Luna with
Speaker 4: one hand, and then the two boxes, trying to the
Speaker 4: clean triangle. Your one proved to be the hardest, but
Speaker 4: you had to balance him on the other square box.
Speaker 2: You think about this, Were you wearing a.
Speaker 4: Jumper, no T shirt and shawls?
Speaker 3: I come from the.
Speaker 2: Could you not have tunkeed in the T shirt and
Speaker 2: shoved it down? The T shirt?
Speaker 3: I didn't try that. But a big square car down there?
Speaker 2: What about the car mats?
Speaker 4: No, car mats were two square, too big and square
Speaker 4: card Can.
Speaker 2: You strap them to the dog like saddle bags?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Well they're all in their boxes. No, then everything's poor
Speaker 4: car mats floating around. Okay, so you're laid enough, trust me.
Speaker 4: I tried, tried the difference.
Speaker 2: You're a human meal right now.
Speaker 4: I decided this is too hard. I tied Lunar back up,
Speaker 4: took him back into the post office. I said, I'll
Speaker 4: leave too here and then come back for him later.
Speaker 2: No, I'd never do that. Well, they don't struggle.
Speaker 4: They say no as well, because They're like, no, once
Speaker 4: they're scanned out of the post office.
Speaker 2: They said, no, I can't get them home.
Speaker 4: They said, once they're scanned out, they're out. You can't
Speaker 4: come and store stuff at the post office. So for
Speaker 4: the first five hundred meters.
Speaker 2: Say fine, you'reat the dog here, you're gonna have the dog.
Speaker 4: I'm trying all the different configurations of like come outs
Speaker 4: under the arm triangle in one.
Speaker 2: Hand, and you're doing this as you walk in. I
Speaker 2: have to keep.
Speaker 4: Stopping because stuff is slipping out. The last thing I
Speaker 4: go for as I'm getting like a couple of blocks
Speaker 4: away and nothing's working, is come out in one hand,
Speaker 4: the two boxes balance in the other hand, dog lead
Speaker 4: in the mouth.
Speaker 2: Wow, hell ever look right?
Speaker 4: Power look strange, But it's the best way to hip
Speaker 4: move to properly hold everything. And so I'm a few
Speaker 4: meters from my house and I see all the roadworks
Speaker 4: crew and I want to say to them, they're looking
Speaker 4: at me strange. I want to say, this is your
Speaker 4: fault because you're holding up the whole road.
Speaker 3: These delivers.
Speaker 2: You can't just say. So that's a good chat for
Speaker 2: them to hear. Is they're going about their job, which
Speaker 2: is back. I can work for some guy who just
