2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: is therapy for me. I need to talk to you

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: about a terrifying incident that happened in the house yesterday.

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: I heard this crash, this crashing noise, and it was

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: a really big crash as well. Right, life goes Chris

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: silence because I heard. I went, yeah, she goes, You're

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna go and see what's there. So I get up

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: real saying that I'm hoping that someone's going to interrupt

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: the girl. And then I by the time I get

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: off the couch, there's this this is the sound, and

11
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: now I'm starting to run going what they actually sounds

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: like someone's got into the house. I go running down

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and go into my little office and there are you

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: know when I can movie when there's been a pillow

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: fight and there are feathers in the air and on

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: the floor. That's what they're there. And my cat Larry,

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: right the crash is obviously a bird must have flown

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: into the study. He has this bird in his mouth.

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: It's flapping around, but it's in Larry the cat's neck. Larry,

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: like I said, he's gonna die at the moment. It

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: ain't going very well, he's trump sized birds out of

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: the air. Now, yeah, but now he's like puffed up

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: cats when they get that and his eyes are all dilated. Rights,

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a madman, not Larry, this beautiful cat.

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: And I go, Larry actually trying to reason with him.

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: When Larry drop that bird, okay, like it's one of

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: the dogs, because they will respond. Larry looks at me like,

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: I don't compute, like Larry, drop the bird. Then my

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: wife goes, this is not a bird in the house.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: My wife is terrified of birds. She goes running into

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: the bendrum like it's a panic room, slams the doll. Right.

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: The kids come running out holding their phones. You know,

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: they like everything. It's not being filmed. It's not happening.

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: I could put them down. You don't want to see this.

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: It's carnage. They take a look around the corner to

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: see this poor bird right in Larry the cat's mouth,

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: and they go running screaming upstairs. They'd have to trap myself.

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: I shut the door behind me. It's me, Larry and

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: this flapping bird. Right, I go, Larry, drop the bird. Right,

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Larry doesn't want to drop the bird. I then get

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: it out of Larry's mond. He's going back and forward

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and I'm going, Larry, drop the bird, come Larry. I

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: then have to put like a dentist with a reluctant patient,

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: prize open the jaws right, and it's just reminding, looks

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: at me and drops at this you room my door.

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: The bird starts to flap around and just made me

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: so squeamish. I have to then spend a while trying

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: to catch the bird. Right. I catch the bird and

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing that squamishing. I would not be good on

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: that Essays show. It's like flapping around. I'm trying to

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: have you right, and I open the study door that

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I run to the front door, throw open the front door.

53
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: This dumb bird so flies up and comes straight back

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: over my head into the house. I'm like, oh no,

55
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: this now bouncing off the wall like it's just flapping

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: around like feathers everywhere. It's like when you kick a

57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: guy out of a bar fight and he's like, I'm

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: going straight for your safety, bouncing off the walls and

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: now unfortunately he is emptying his bounds everywhere. I don't

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: know whether they do that to let off some fuel

61
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: or something can get even quicker. He's now and Sarah's going,

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Sarah's going? Does he come back in and I go?

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: I try to deal with it. I then have to runk,

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: so get hold of his body again. This time I

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: walk out on the streets like a grenade. That's about

66
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: the blow laps up there. As I look back at

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the house, Oh, I see my two teenage daughters and

68
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: their bedrooms pressed against the window. Larry the cat downstairs,

69
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: looking really, really fed up. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast
