0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Christian No Show podcast yesterday.

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Lots of great stories about secrets that you try to

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>keep from mom and dad, not just as a kid,

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 2>but as a grown up as well.

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Some new ones that have come in. Nick. When I was.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Sixteen, I wasn't allowed to have a TV in my room,

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>but with my fat I remembered the big moment when you

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>allowed the TV.

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>In your worst thing I ever did for my school, because.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wasn't out of a TV. This is this

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>is amazing, this this story. I wasn't out to have

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 2>a TV in my room, but with my first real job,

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 2>I brought a small kind of TV. About months before Christmas,

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I snuck the TV into the house and installed it

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 2>in my room. I then wrapped the box in Christmas

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>paper and wrote to Nick from Santa on the card,

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>place the gift under the tree on Christmas morning. Acted

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>all surprised, I think once they realized that thing's.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Been in this room for ages. He's bought himself, but

0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it was it was too late. There wasn't anything they

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>could do about it. Nick. I love that one, Darren.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>When I was young, I'd always want to go to

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>local milk bar with my friend to play the arcade machines.

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>One day, I remember my dad had a fifty cent

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>coin collection.

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you pursue that coin collection.

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 2>That big jar and then go to the bank or

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>supermarket about every six months?

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 4>But or is it a coin collection, like a proper

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 4>coin collection, like you would collect stamps and they're one

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 4>of a coin fifty cent points?

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>One day I remembered my dad had a fifty cent

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>coin collection, some rareer than others. So every weekend I

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>take about two to three dollars worth of coins and

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>use them to play my games. There were so many

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>little bags of coins, let's just say around twenty bags.

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>By the time my dad had noticed something wasn't quite right,

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>there were only two.

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Or three left. Not exactly A very observant dad was he.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say I didn't go to the mill bar

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time after that. But Liinda, I

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>waged school to go to the cricket at the MCG.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>My dad saw me chanting in Bay thirteen live on

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.160

<v Speaker 5>Oh hi, christ let's Lindy here. When I was fifteen,

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 5>I hit a horse in the house. So we walked

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 5>her up the backsteps, through the laundry and into the

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 5>land room.

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>And got a plate and cut the carrots up.

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, it took photos and Mum was out and

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 5>didn't know anything about it. And then the phonos came

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 5>back and he's Blackie in the house and Mum could

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 5>not believe what she actually saw.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Mum needs to go and get her ryce tested.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I've been great horse. And she didn't notice anything.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:34.959

<v Speaker 4>running like and I thought I'd get one last trick

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 4>in from the boy, and that last treek ended up

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 4>with me jumping off the wall and breaking my arm.

<v Speaker 6>Yes, yes. Back in the day when we're able to

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 6>have bumfires, when I was eight my brother was about ten,

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 6>we decided we'd make a donation to the local bonfire

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 6>and went under the house and grabbed the seat of

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 6>four tires. And about a week later my dad went

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 6>looking for them, couldn't find them, and they turned out

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 6>to be brand new set of tires. So I must

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 6>say we're working a very good books for a few weeks.

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>God you'd be furious because so expensive.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 6>I know, I know, but we thought it was a time.

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>What a generous donation CuMo tirees. That's a great one.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.960

<v Speaker 3>The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Got an email from Justine who listens to the show

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>and catch up in Perth.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>The People's Republic Independent Republican Purspocourse I still forget that they.

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.240

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>let the email go out because of like North Korea.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>She went to Mart McGovern here's an email has escaped

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the border closures into stinky old Victoria, Christian, this happens

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to grown ups as well.

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got a tattoo that I got done about

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>seven years ago. My dad's still hasn't seen it.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't hide it from him, but I've never told

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 2>him I got it done, and he's never brought it up.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know whether he's seen it, and is so

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>aghast he doesn't. He doesn't talk about it. Then it

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 2>hasn't happened, but I certainly don't. And even sometimes when

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 2>we've been together, the kids will see me with my hand.

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Yet, and I'm not a grown up, I can do

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>whatever I want.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, Justine's husband and Adam passed his motorcycle test.

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I brought a motorbike. Didn't want to tell his parents

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>even though he was thirty two, so would have to

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 2>hide it whenever they were coming around rounded of friends.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>And then one day his mom decided to pop round,

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>saw the motorbike out the front and guess that that

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 2>must be his, and so it all had to come

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 2>flying out. He was thirty four at the time, Christian,

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>so he catch it quite for two years. So this

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 2>still happens to grown ups as well. So keep things

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>a secret from your parents, Ginny, and come on them.

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 7>Good morning, Christian.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Hi.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay. I was thirteen years old. It was a Saturday,

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 7>and I went into town with my friends. Now and

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 7>I went in. I had hair down to my waist.

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 7>But I decided I wanted to be a punk rocker,

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 7>so I went into the hairdressers and got my hair

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 7>done like a skinhead, so it was like a little

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 7>spiky hairdoo an inch long.

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 4>And then I.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 7>Looked and I thought, oh my god, I'm going to

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 7>get absolutely killed. So I decided I'd buy a cheap.

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Wigi and just Jillian, I'm guessing. So this is in Scotland.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>You had to go and buy a cheap wig in Edinburgh.

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 7>Ye, Edinburgh, So it's inn like a joke shop, so.

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a grouch of marks one. It comes

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>with the glasses and the fights.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 7>So I get and of course my mum notices, you know,

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 7>why what the hell you got a wig on for

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 7>But it wasn't till the Sunday night right that I

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 7>went into the shower and she walked. She came into

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 7>the bathroom and I'm not joking. She's about a heart attack.

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 3>She actually shaken.

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 7>I think she thought it was like a man in

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 7>the shower.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.800
