1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcasts apparently about the second week

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: of the school holidays and how hard it is to

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: entertain kids, especially when they go into heading into teens.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: I still think that kids have a lot more at

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: their disposal than we ever did, because when you used

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: to get palmed off on an elderly relative like I did,

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: it was never my I'd always have to go and

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: stay for a week with my nanny grand And I

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: remember when I got a bit older and wise and said,

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: how come younger sister Luise doesn't ever go, And my

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: mum went, they're unstable people at the time risk good parents.

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: You're right, they are crazy folk, right, heavy smokers and drinkers.

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Then it was only the last couple of years. I

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: was like, wait, hang on a minute, I was. I

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: went there every week for a year with those crazy

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: fuck They would literally do nothing that you just sit

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: there all day watching daytime for TV, and then you

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: might get your catle bytes to go to the milk bar.

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: And this is because there was no streaming, there's no phones.

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: But it wasn't even like shows for kids on during

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: the day. I remember, you remember used to get so

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: bored you would just improve stuff. I remember I go

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: down list there was this farm near there, and by myself,

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: I would just hold the electric fence electric, keep myself going.

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Something something to do today to feel just actually just

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a friend of life, passy, just to filter something. I'm

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: lucky I didn't go on to become a serial killer,

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: because that's normally a key scene in something. Is it

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: that drives someone crap?

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: If I was in a movie, we go all that

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: kid's going to turn it.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: That's why it's the baddie. He had nothing to do

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: during his summer holidays other than electrocute himself for kicks.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: The entertainment in my grandparents house the same thing. You

35
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: always knew where my granddad was. He was in his

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: recliner in the living room. He was the only one

37
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: who's had in that chair is there.

38
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: And that that chair they had the granddad had was

39
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: like first class and the rest of you or in

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,520

00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: fridge out in the backyard. And if we got bored

45

Speaker 2: and play with the fridge.

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: If anyone else is if the striking? According to anybody

47
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,680

48
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: palmed off to go and stay with elderly relatives, what

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: did you do to while away the time? Nine four

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: one four one oh four three. I'm guessing it'd just

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: be me. He used to lectrocute himself for fun. This

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: is the Christian O'Connell show podcast, second week of the

53
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: school holidays at the moment and it gets hard. The

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: second week gets hard what to do with the kids. However,

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: they have a load more potentials and possibilities than we

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: did back in the day when you would get so bored.

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: But the thing is, the body was gooding away because

58
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: you had to get outside and make your own intandent.

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: No one was Your parents were work. They did'tn't care

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: really about whether or not you were having a good

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: holiday or anything like that. They just had other stuff

62
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: going on. I remember you were just encouraged to go

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: outside for the day and wonder and then and do

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, getting all kinds of danger

65
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: and shnanig. But just make sure your back before it

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: was dark and you look back now, I'm thinking even

67
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: if I got kidnapped and was down a ravine, now

68
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: I'll be aware of it for at least sixteen Hours's

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: going to die down here or whither or away before there's

70
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: any search party. So asking what do you do back

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: in the day during school hour days to entertain yourself? Christian,

72
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: I used to make a fake casino in the backyard.

73
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: So I'm Peter Christian. We should just play every day

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: for hours on the trailer. We didn't have a trampoline,

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: so I guess it was the poor person's foot. We

76
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: also used to marry our little brother to a rag

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: doll one in Christian. My grandfather I was also palmed

78
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: off too, like you, couraged me to see if I

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: could get all the ants on the pavement to spell

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: out his name. He would give me a tea spoon

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: of sugar to do that.

82
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable.

83
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: It was the easiest time in the world to be

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: a parent or grandparent back in the day, wasn't it.

85
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: We're just getting us to play with ants to spit

86
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: out your name or something to do Tyler or brighter nose.
