Here are you going? 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.640 Yeah? I tell you what how I'm going. I know 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.040 you guys are a lot more used to living in 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.120 a hot country than this Englishman. But yesterday that's too 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.519 hot feeding with you guys, isn't it. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.519 It's unforgiving. I think it's because it's been so long 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.199 since we've had a cool day. Usually chopped some changes 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.440 down here, but yeah, it's just been over thirty, over thirty, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.480 and yesterday just no fun to be outside. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.880 No I think. I don't think yesterday was the best 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.640 day for me. I thought I'll fire up the smoker. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.960 So I was up at six am and even at 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.720 half six firing up that big old smoke monster. What 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.080 a stupid thing to do too, because you have to. 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.319 I sell it to three hundred and twenty five degrees 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.040 celsius and then you have to stand there while it 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.680 heats up for an hour. Right, And it was so hot, 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.919 and it's not that heat where it's it's like coming 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:13.600 off the ground. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:14.440 It's stinging. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:15.280 Yeah. 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.080 And then the worst thing about yesterday was so we 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.920 had the old mother in law came over for lunch 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.759 to have this brisket that I smoke. Right, she came 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.080 in the morning on her mobility scooter. And then when 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.560 she was leaving about three o'clock when it was peak heat, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.240 my wife goes, I run my mum home only five 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.280 minutes in the car. I guess you had to get 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.160 in a mobility scooter. You know what we're saying. How 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.039 you don'd have me out in that heat? Three in 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.480 the afternoon it was I think it has been measured. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.360 It was forty two degrees at the tennis out on 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.680 Center Court. Well, at least they can move around ically 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:51.440 trapped in an incredibly smart, slow moving vehicle. Guys getting 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.120 over COVID a couple of times. I thought we were going 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.440 to be sick. It was there was no one out. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:57.400 There's no one. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.760 Around unless you don't get seen. 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.960 Because it's also peer out of a window and then 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.360 sort of do a double take like is he all right? 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.840 Like you, I've a confused old young man like Benjamin Button. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.640 Why is he a schoolture? It's so what it's going 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.440 and she has it set to the slowest setting, right, 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.679 so it's not I don't know how to speed up to. 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.440 It felt like it was like Lawrence of Arabia. I'm 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.880 forgiving tarmac on the pavement. He's coming up to me 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.120 going this is really cruel and really struggling with this. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880 How was it in your house chat? Because Patsy you 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.360 might not know this, but we went round to Jack 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:39.560 and Bianca's lovely home just before Christmas, right, and well 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.840 you know if you're if you're the people they want around, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.720 then you'll be around. But anyway, it's a beautiful house 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.120 now they've all done it up on that. But the 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.200 thing that strunck me was it is the coldest house 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.920 in the street. It looks amazing, it's black. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.960 Yeah yeah, it's. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.160 No, no, no, no no, you really just understand what 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.520 it's like. You walk down the street and Australian classic home, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.560 a straining class and whoa hello, goths have moved in. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.279 So it's tim Bowton Helena bonhom Carter. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.720 Does look like something out of the very first Tim 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:14.919 Burton Batman look. And I think it does look cools 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.680 biank his choice to do something different. 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:17.480 I love it. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.359 Or this is the original color, this is. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.400 When we were this is the what we painted it 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.080 when we renovated it. So it's been like that for 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.359 three years and it looks great and for seven eight 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.520 months of the year it's fine. In the summer it 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.880 is unrelenting. 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.360 Hell has a house in Australia. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:40.040 It absorbs. Those cloudless days are brutal for the house. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.120 Isn't the aircorn broken down as well? 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.120 The aircon's broken. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.760 It's just so warm, something from an old prison, like well, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.920 you'll be careful or you won't go in the hole. 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:57.480 You'll go in the black house, all those demons in 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:04.760 you by would I've repainted that overnight the moment this 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.920 summer starts like you need like you know, have different seasons. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.160 The house needs to go to white in the summer 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.920 and then paint it black during the winter. It's fine. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.279 I'm not kidding. When you walk outside, even just to 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.280 take the bins out right yesterday, it's their sun is 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.039 radiating off the weatherboards. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.720 I'm suppose your wife hasn't demanded in the mid of last. 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.480 Night before tomorrow. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.160 The choice, and it'd be dry within five. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.720 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.840 Talking to Jack just now about this incredible I mean, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.359 it's been an amazing summer. Kids getting ready to go 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.080 back to school, and tomorrow my house, and it's been 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.320 an amazing summer. It's our fourth summer since we moved him. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.960 When we were saying, this has just been an epic one. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.960 We can't remember when it's been rainy or are not 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.600 a really beautiful day, but yesterday was just this crazy 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.560 kind of it, really really relentless heat. And I was 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.120 thinking a about Jack and Bianca, who's only coulor of 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.360 weeks and given birth, and the fact that they live 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.080 in a black house. It's a black painted house. Someone's 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.599 chosen to painted black. It looks very cool. However, it 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.440 can't be cool to live in during a summer in 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.960 a country that's notorious for its very hot summers. And 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.520 obviously that is your wife's choice, because no guy has 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.440 any real choice about the colors in or around the house, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.080 even in like pots or pants. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.320 Never and blanks go to I think she's got a 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.360 great eye for that sort of thing anyway, so I'm 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:31.480 happy to leave it up to her. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.159 Yeah, but they don't want that. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.480 No, Yeah, you have resulted on every choice they had. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.000 The color of the table mats, I don't care. I 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.839 wouldn't even notice what color is you put the plate 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.839 on it. It's like Jimmy that I wasn't even allowed 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.880 to paint the fence of our house the D's colors 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.279 before the Grand Final for three days. That's the only 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.159 time I've ever expressed any kind of need for color. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.640 I think. Actually, black houses are actually hotter. They generally 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.200 do get there. It must absorb more heat. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.800 I read that up to fifty percent hotter inside a 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:06.000 black house because it just the heat hangs in the walls. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.760 Just in there. I feel like I'll be able to 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:10.599 get through winter without putting the heating on because it's 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.880 just absorbed that heat and will get me through the year. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.200 It's like a solar battery of all up from this summer. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.400 And so, how are you both sleeping? 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.360 We sleep in For the last three nights in a row, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.400 we've slept in the living room because it's the only 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.760 room in the house that has a working air conditioner. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.240 So we're on what listen tight one. You know there 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.840 are people called technicians and repair people that can come 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:33.760 around trimend it. 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.320 Don't even get me started. We called the manufacturer. The 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.159 manufacturer came out, he said, it's the guy who installed 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.479 its fault. The installer came out. He says, it's the 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.560 manufacturer's fault. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.000 It's a current affair. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.359 I'm too meek of a person to put my foot 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.920 down and demand that someone doesn't, so I keep I 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.719 need the patsy. I need you to come in and 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.440 kick some butts around the air on world and get 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:02.280 them to fix. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:03.760 This air cut behavior. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.919 Because we're in the lounge. Bianker is eight months pregnant. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.279 She's we're on the L shaped Count. 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.520 Said, don't hold man up to us now kicking off 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.560 about it. How that guy came around from the manufacturer. 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.440 The manufacturer is the worst. He's still building desk. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.080 We're meant to take it on your behalf grown up man. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.760 We are sleeping on the couch and it's not a 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.400 fold out couch, it's just the L shaped couch. So 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.520 I'm on the long L and Bianker's on the short hour. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.800 Yeah no, short al is actually better. I think sure 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.320 long l has the cushion gap in the middle, so 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.040 you hip sinks into the cushion. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.760 That's horrible. It's like the Princess and the pa. You 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.040 know it's there digging into your well, a part of 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.360 your spine or something. You can't sleep comfortably on that. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.320 So is that for the next couple of weeks should 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.080 be giving birth on. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.280 That couch anytime it's hot, because it never gets below 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.920 twenty degrees outside and in the house that's radiating a heat. 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.200 It's like forty five. So we are trying to sleep 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.920 on there. And you're right. Anytime you're not in your 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.040 normal bed, you can tell. So this couch has a 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.960 slight epis slight decline into the back cushion. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:15.320 Over the night, the couch monsters calling you into its stomach. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.440 You'll get trapped there with like old coins, wheel sticks, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.160 the remote control. We're never seeing about strangers things. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.280 If I'm not on air one morning, Corbierk, we get 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.800 it to move me out of that linp trap at 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.640 the back of the couch. 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.680 Christian Connell Show podcast. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.080 Thank you very much for are the emails. Also, you 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.559 can also leave voicemails for the show. Anything we talk 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.120 about on the show, you can pick it up whenever 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.320 you want. We call it late to the party to 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:51.000 do it late. All right, couple of emails. First of all, 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.680 we're talking this week on the show about your first car, 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.640 your memories of your first car. For our guest on Tuesday, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.200 Shane Warn talking about his one, Christian. I remember my 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.480 first car very well, at a twenty five year old 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.120 Holden Kingswood wagon. It was blue with a gold roof. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.559 I had vinyl seats. Yeah, you talk about the heat 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.920 at the moment, Jim. Of those old vinyl seats, you 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.760 would literally have to scrape yourself off like pizza off 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.000 the pizza base during the summer was I didn't have 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.960 air conditioning. The heater wasn't great either. Would struggle to 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.280 clear the windscreen. I think an asthmatic mouse would blow 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.600 more air than this car used to do it. Cold mornings, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.960 I needed to start at ten or fifteen before I 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.839 needed to leave as an emmanual choke and the car 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.120 needed to warm up. Did you have a manual choke, Paty? 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.120 I did my first grade. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:36.800 No, I did not. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.440 Yeah, Christian, my first car was a bright yellow. We 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.800 were talking to there about the abundance of yellow in 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.120 first car's Toyota Corona. Cost me three hundred dollars and 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.760 I brought it from my brother's girlfriend at the time. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.440 It was an absolute crap box. When I bought it 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.760 had done hundred and fifty thousand k It was so 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.439 bad that I was driving home down Reynolds Road in Doncaster, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.000 which is a really hilly air. I had to just 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.160 gun it going down the hill in order for it 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.280 to make it up to the other side. One day, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.640 doing this death Valley run, I was pulled over half 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.800 while out the hill for the cops speeding. As I 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.880 jumped out of the car, the dashboard started smoking and 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.760 then slowly, very slowly catching fire. It's not the first 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.959 tip happened. It was some sort of electrical fought in 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.320 the dash that I had had to fix. Some standing 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.600 there nervously hoping the cop wouldn't notice what was going 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.800 on inside the car whilst I was trying to explain 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.360 why I had to speed otherwise I wouldn't get up 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.280 to the top of the hill. Then all of a sudden, 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.560 the dashboard finally erupted into fames. It was the end 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.680 of the canary. The cops more or less arrested it. 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.360 They empowdered it as. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.160 Unroaded the rest of the car. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.680 This car is under the rest. You know, you're right, 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.440 you don't have to say anything. Let's got to lease 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.000 voice smails. Then, first of all, talking about first cars, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:55.319 we have. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.800 Trish Hi Christian Letricia from glen Wib. I just had 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.640 to let you know about march car. It was a 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.959 Toyota Corona hard top, navy blue with white leather interior. 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.920 The main feature of the car was I had sheep 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.720 skins on both front seats. Bought it for around thirty 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.400 two hundred dollars. I think the third paid for it, 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.320 and we saw it for thirty four one hundred dollars, 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:23.400 so it actually appreciated rather than depreciate like most cars do. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.520 So yeah, well, thank you, here you back. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.120 Bye, Thank you very much. Yeah. Do you remember you 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.360 still see the occasional car when someone's got those sheepskin 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.000 sort of the worst ones are the old people of 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.160 those beads on. You sometimes get an uber he's got 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:38.959 those beads and those back beads that they have and 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:39.439 stuff like that. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.040 I don't like, is that actually comfortable. I always thought 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.600 wouldn't they get uncomfortable after a while, especially driving long 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:46.480 hours on uber. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.880 See that anyway, you don't see you on massage tables 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.000 and chiropracive.

They're going to 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.760 get me the back anytime you see them with the curtains. 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.400 It's Terri. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.360 Christian Connell's show podcast. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.800 One of the things I'd never seen before in my 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.280 life until I moved here to Australia. Driving with no 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.240 shoes on Patsy, Where do you stand on this, your 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.240 shoe is driving. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.360 Oh, I have done it before in my younger years, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.200 even in a manual, which you know I took a 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.839 bit of coordination. Would I do it now? Definitely not. No, 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.960 I think it's a bit bogan VILLAA and it might wreck. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.320 Oh I didn't know who were going to go that way. Also, 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.160 I love the way that my wife does to Sometimes 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.040 I ask a question, I just want yes or no. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.040 Ago would I would? I let me engineering themselves. 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.800 I'll give you the history of my drives, breaking. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.240 It down by car type and non semantic. Would I 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:25.520 do that now? 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.480 I'm a bunder villa. I'm a big fan of driving 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.400 with no shoes. I actually feel like you get a 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.560 better contact on the pedal because you're raw to it, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.240 and you've got a better you've got more feeling to it. Yes, 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:37.719 because with a shoe. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.520 On you, any we're out in their car into a rival, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.000 some because they couldn't get any kind of feel or contact. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.800 We've been driving for decades with shoes. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.199 On shop I don't know. With shoes you can't feel 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:48.920 where your feet are. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.760 I've never been confused, never never been in a car accident. 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.640 Luckily and always had shoes on. I know where my 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.959 feet aren't, Jack. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.760 There's a there's a layer of rubber that's stopping you 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.920 from really knowing where the pedals are underfoot. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.480 But if that was just said, whether there's lack of 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.319 contact with these little pedals, how the hell would you 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.520 walk down the street or just walk around your normal life. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.960 I don't even know where my feet are right now. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.760 I just don't like the argument that it's more dangerous 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.400 to drive without shoes. I can't see how that's possible. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.440 On the show, he's a big fan as well. Are 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.560 driving out those shoes? 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.120 Yeah, I think maybe what Jack's trying to articulate is 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.720 you can use your toes to kind of grip around 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.600 the pedal and the brake pedal and. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.800 Use footsy or something down there. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.960 Right, it's a lot more sensitive. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.360 If you're doing it's like a cat'll pluck it all 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:37.120 and stuff like that. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.000 You are, you're more nimble, you have more control exactly, so. 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:46.200 You're on the keyboard like Stevie Wonder more fee. 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.800 I will sometimes get in the car, take my shoes 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.080 and socks off drive, then put my shoes and socks 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.200 back on to get out of the car. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:54.880 Oh no, that's too much ef. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.280 I'm also right, so is it it? Is it legal 0:14:59.360 --> 0:14:59.920 or illegal? 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.200 I've heard it's illegal. I think that's a myths. That 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:04.440 has to be a myth. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.120 There must be they might, there will be rulings. There 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.120 are all states the same in Australia. Is it illegal or illegal? 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:10.320 Mean? 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.280 Can you take your test shoeless? Oh? 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:14.360 No, I wouldn't think so. 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.720 There then then there they go. That's the Oh no, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.800 certainly that's a bit wild man from the pommy. But 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.080 you're like doing it day to day once I'm driving. No, 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.200 I wouldn't do it for the test. No, because it's 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:28.800 a test. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.480 If I was an instructor and someone came with no shoes, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.720 I'd be more worried about their judgment in general, and 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:36.840 the kind of judgments that would translate. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:41.600 To you just said, shoes are fine. Contact that person 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.600 has get away your back on to actually speak for 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.600 you today, that person. Do you see the way he 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:47.120 went for you as well? This is what the young 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.800 mens do. Jerk, he's trying to articulate there. Maybe we 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.200 hardists speak today and then when he's off on paternity leave, 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.800 you won't get back in the door but the articulator on. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.320 Rio and tell them what I'm trying to say. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.520 Well, I've just quickly looked it up. So it's not 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.120 technically illegal to drive barefoot, but the police. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.280 Can't say it's not technically brown upon it. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:14.320 Technically you're not allowed to kill someone. However they are irritating. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.000 But a policeman can still find you if they believe 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.640 you are not in full control of your vehicle. So 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.240 if they think maybe your shoes or your shoeless. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:27.760 Having some sort of tone massage, dexterity of what I'm 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.400 trying to say, let me call. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.040 I would say if you had extremely sweaty feet, maybe 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.840 if you've been in the beach or something, you could 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.600 be a bit slippery on the pedals and that would 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:36.120 be dangerous. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.440 Don't undergo a sweat test, though. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.280 Worry would be this you ever cleared out the car mats. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:45.360 Sometimes there's small sort of sediment or small pebbles around there. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.160 Yeah, yeah, but not enough to graze the thing. 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.160 Let me tell you this, you're moving that old barefoot 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.560 around and stuff like that wide you're driving because obviously 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.000 foot on the accelerator that the one sometimes has a 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.240 bit of passivity is what I'm trying to say here, 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.760 suddenly get that that gets a small bit of sediment 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.320 or rock on you go to that's me slamming on 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.720 the brake. Okay, you've gotta slam the brake. But because 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.960 it's got a little bit of pebble in it on 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.280 the hill there, the moment you put contact with a pedal, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.160 instinctively you're going to go ah, you're going to move 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.520 away from it. That break isn't getting depressed? 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.800 How big are the pebbles in rocks? No, it means 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.560 it sounds like there's broken glass in your foot. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.879 Well everything in there, mate, you know, it's like a 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.480 floor of cinema. 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.080 Just don't be a popcorn out when you're finished with it. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.760 Basically, what my kids do? They drink my car like 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.360 the floor of a cinema. All right, give us a call. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.520 I think we need a bit more than technically it's 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.160 not legal legal, Can someone actually tell us what's called 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.440 commonly the law on this? And can you take a 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:47.560 drive into shoeless This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.680 We're talking right now about driving with or without shoes. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.960 I uh, it's not necessarily do with or without shoes. 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.320 But I remember a couple of weeks ago having to 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.560 go at my seventeen year old daughter, who's eighteen this summer, 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.560 so can take contest. She's running up her hours and 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.160 she left the house in a pair of hug boots, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.760 and I was like, no, you can't even walk around 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.560 the house in those, right. You don't even pick your 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.680 feet up. You're shoffing around like an eskimo going to 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.159 get some fish. We're not getting in the car in 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:15.120 your rug boots too. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:17.720 You'll press both pedals. Forget it. 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.399 We're not making it round the corner. Your plowers into something. 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.680 But I'm not a fan of driving without shoes. Jack 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.280 Apsity loves it. Patsy, you're not a fan either. I am. 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:28.880 No, no, no, no. 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.560 And so we don't know the moment REO produce the 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.159 real things. Technically it's not illegal, but we don't one 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.560
