00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Christin o'connells Show podcast. Today we got three chopic Tuesday

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: and I'm about to go around the team find out

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: the song that sums up our long weekend. Patsy, what's

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: it for you mate? What did he get up to?

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: Yesterday? We very bravely made the pilgrimage to Bunnings. We're

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: after a new outdoor setting because the dog destroyed the

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: other one.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: So what do you mean the dog destroyed it?

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: He chewed it?

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: What through like words pine mahogany.

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: It was aluminium and he managed to do the first

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: night we went out without him.

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: A honey batch has got the strongest bite, you know,

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: they could probably do that, but a dog actually mashing

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: up aluminium.

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, he got into the cushions. So we got home

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: after a night out of leaving him for a few

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: hours as a puppy for the first time, and it's like,

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: I'll teach you to go out and leave me on

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: my own for three hours cheot all the cushions up.

21
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh I see, but that was a year ago.

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: If he was a puppy, yeah, I know, And.

23
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: So slashed furniture out. There's a nice look.

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Well, we haven't been game to get anything new, because

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: he's just such a wrecking ball. So we figure maybe

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: now he served his apprenticeship and we're finally game enough

27
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: to go looking for another outdoor setting for summer.

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Do you know what you can? We've got it for

29
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: the puppy to stop the puppy sort of chewing up stuff.

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: There's this spray. It's cool, it's called puppy Off. It

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: is got horrible smell. It's like a mustard smell, and

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: obviously it's that dog with the sharps with a big

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: old snout. It's a horrible mustard thing where they go

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: to cheer and they go, what is that mustard sprayed

35
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: on that?

36
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: But then the whole family has to put up with

37
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: that smell as well.

38
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, Yeah you might try that everything though,

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: like we've tried eucalyptus oil and stuff and it just doesn't.

40
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: But that's a nice I love the smell of eucalyptus oil.

41
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: That just clear as sinus is out.

42
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, So we got to Bunnings and almost instantly regretted

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: it because it was it was just heaving yesterday, long weekend.

44
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: Everyone's out and about, even though it was a bit chilly,

45
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: and they've got it's quite a good system. But you've

46
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: got a que of course now like you forget, you're

47
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: sort of stuck in your old ways, pre sort of

48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: COVID where you just turn up and rock in. But

49
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: of course now you have to queue. So they've got

50
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: this roped off section that like snakes its way through

51
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: the car park. So Chris looked at me and he goes,

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: how desperately do you really want to go to Bunnings today?

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: And I said, well, look, we're here now, we'll do

54
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: it anyway. So we lined up in mque and you know,

55
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: you've got to stand on your yellow crosses in everything,

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 2: and everyone's, oh, good morning, how are you. How's a

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: long weekend? But it thrust me back to the nineties

58
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: and my nightclub day is having to queue outside the nightclub.

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's needs to be a Netflix show of

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Partcy's nightclub days. Just reminded me.

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: It took me back when we're at Horsham. When I

62
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: worked at Horsham, there was this local pub. It was

63
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: the only discoing town, so it was the happening place.

64
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: And when we first moved there, it's like, g you,

65
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: that must be a really good joint, Like there's this

66
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: cue you going around the corner down the main street.

67
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: So anyway, first night we went out, we went there

68
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: thinking this is going to be fantastic. Got inside and

69
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: there's like half a dozen people in there, including the

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: bar staff and the DJ. In this place was a dive.

71
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: It had wall to wall carpet and as you walked

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: across it, your feet would like stick to the carpet.

73
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a sort of a good venue. They used

74
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: to be like that. I used to love those sticky

75
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: floor venues. You knew you were somewhere good that never

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: wanted to clean or mop the floor all month.

77
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: I went to a nightclub in the Gold Coast once.

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's still there. Sticky carpet floors.

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: They and their theme was they had beds instead of chairs,

80
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: so you sat on the beds and ordered. Someone would

81
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: come to the beds and you would order a drink

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: from there, and the host, the host would walk around

83
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: with a spray bottle because it smelt so bad, the

84
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: carpets and spraying ascent.

85
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: From the Blues Brothers. That's rough. So how do you

86
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: get on in Bunnings? Then? Did you get what you needed.

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: No, we we might have had a bit of a

88
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: disagreement in Aisle fifteen yesterday. So I want to get

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: like this, you know, indestructible setting. I'm looking at cement

90
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: or something like that.

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: Cement a cement table for outside, carrying that back to

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the car.

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: It's really nice to mid tables and bench bench settings

94
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: now that you can get and they.

95
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: Look quite them.

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: I think yes in Chris isn't.

97
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: A fan and he reckons we can't put it on

98
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: the decking we've got.

99
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: Or the car. The car would be like so it

100
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: would be from a cartoon. It goes up in the air.

101
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Are you building an outdoor setting or escape park anyway?

102
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: So there's a there's we've agreed to disagree on. We're

103
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: no closer basically to getting the outdoor setting. We can't

104
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: agree on what we want.

105
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: So it's nothing worse than you go to all the

106
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: effort and you don't leave with anything. It is no

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: that you haven't settled it and you've only got to

108
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: come back at some point and do it all again.

109
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: And you have a whisper argument in the aisles, Well,

110
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: I think there's a mentalill do just fine?

111
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: How many how many iron arguments today. Of any places

112
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: to have an ile argument, you think Bunnings have the more.

113
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: You're not really kicking off in a in a supermarket,

114
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: I line about the chips or what Marjarine brand to get.

115
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: But in Bunnings, what does it amount of meltdowns I've

116
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: had with other mind teenage daughters about stuff they're going

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: or my wife rings. I wonder many people have actually

118
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: just split up end of a relationship in an at

119
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Bunnings Christian Christian show shot, what do you go to

120
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: this long weekend?

121
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: Allow me to take you to the Croatian city of Dalmatia.

122
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: Of course we all recognize this as the national anthem

123
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: of Croatia, Unmistakable right. We did a thousand piece puzzle

124
00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: over the weekend of Croatia of the City of Dalmatia.

125
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: Don't know how we chose Criati as the puzzle when

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: we bought it, but it's been sitting in the cupboard

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: for a few years now and we got it out

128
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: to put it together over the long weekend.

129
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: You and your wife, you're in your seventies now, Yeah,

130
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: what's happened to you both over the weekend. It's a

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: fine line between the lifestyle of the hipster and a

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: very old person. That both of the similarities are very similar. Actually,

133
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: you did a thousand piece chigsaw on a Croatian city.

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Have you been there?

135
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: I've not been there.

136
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: No. What was it like a port? Is it almost

137
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: import Yeah? Yeah? Notice the jigsaw people they love a port,

138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: don't there With the boats and the harbor and stuff

139
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: that it makes a nice vista for a jigsaw.

140
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: And it was a beautiful vista by the time we finished.

141
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: We put a lot of hours into it. I mean

142
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: people would be doing a lot of puzzles over this

143
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: isolation period.

144
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Care homes and places like that. Yeah, and the medical

145
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: facilities and stuff like that.

146
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, a thousand piece puzzle is no easy. Feet took

Speaker 3: us many hours over the weekend.

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,400

159
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: of buildings and stuff.

160
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: You're right, Patsy, you know your Croatia. Well, yes, the

161
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: water was very difficult to complete. The sky was very

162
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: difficult to complete. Yeah, we know. We were doing it

163
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: all hours of the day. Work up, first thing in

164
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: the morning, started the puzzle.

165
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: This is my question of the scene. So it's on

166
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: the coffee table, because you need a big thing to happen.

167
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: Well, this is the thing. We used the dining table.

168
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: So we had all our meals over the weekend at

169
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: the TV and on the couch because the puzzle's taking

170
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: up the dining table.

171
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: The project the Sistine Chapel, that's are going on in

172
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the kitchen on the dining table.

173
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 3: So then we finish it and I'm ready to break

174
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: it up because we've already said goodbye to the dining

175
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: table all weekend. And I said, all right, levelll, time

176
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: to break it up. Looks great, well done, thumbs up.

177
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: Banker said no, no, no, we put We've put so

178
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: many hours into it. We have it has to stay.

179
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get it. Michaelangrol didn't get a

180
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: great big gold jet washer out.

181
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: Just spray that.

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: That's that done. What you're doing?

183
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: Then, how long do we have to leave the puzzle

184
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: on the dining tab?

185
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean how many hours? Just give me a guest,

186
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: what do you think?

187
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: Ten hours? Probably ten hours.

188
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: You try to put ten hours. I want to get

189
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: visitors to come and see it. She was just a

190
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: tourist attraction. You put ten thousand, you're going to destroy it.

191
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: But when you see I mean, you see a puzzle

192
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: and it's just you're like, oh, yeah, you did a puzzle.

193
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 3: You don't keep her on the dining room table, and

194
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 3: we're definitely.

195
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: A problem with what you've done. Essentially, you've arrived at

196
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: what a great anti climax After all of that, you're gone,

197
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: what do we do now? Exactly? That's the whole point

198
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: of doing the jigsaw puzzle. It's it's the joy, I

199
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: guess is actually the putting together. So what are you

200
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: talking to each other going, I've got a bit of

Speaker 3: We we each wear our ear pods and listen to

204
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: a separate podcast.

205
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 1: Oh, Oh god, this is a lot Sader thought, Pats.

206
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: Just imagine the scene. It's like a couple near the

207
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: end of a relationship.

208
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: It's not that.

Speaker 1: your headphones on doing some born old jigsaw of a

211
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: port in Europe. I was thinking, oh, they're breaking up

212
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: this weekend.

213
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: A couple who is so deeply connected that they don't

214
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: have to have a conversation all the time. Discussing in

215
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: each other's presence is enough.

216
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: I think that's lovely.

217
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's lovely. Christian Connell, Christian Podcast, Christians How Jack

Speaker 1: Finished it. Take a photo. It's done for my father

220
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: in law. He builds a frame, cuts glass, mounts them.

221
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: This is like a idea. Well let it called Christine Hart.

222
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I've just shown this to Jack, a beautiful looking one

223
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: of it's like the Atlas of the world, of the globe.

224
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: It's an amazing black and white one that she said

225
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: took her two weeks that they have mounted on wall

226
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: that looks beautiful and trying to find out how many pieces.

227
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: The song that sums up my weekend is this up

228
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: on the roof, which is where I had to go

229
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: yesterday to a neighbour's house. This kitt and we've got us.

230
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: I think actually thinks it's a dog. It's just determined

231
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: to it's a it's the breed of it. It's supposed

232
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: to be one of these indoor cats. Some people have

233
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: these things called indoor cats. I didn't know it was

234
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: a concept. I had a cat when I was a

235
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: teenager and he just would bugger off for a week.

236
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

237
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: Around this cat. Larry the cat is apparently purposely bred

238
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: to stay indoors. But I feel sorry for him, you know,

239
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: it's to be out there. He sees the dog's going

240
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: out there. He cries, He literally me ows. He just

241
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: stairs to the day looking outside. It breaks my heart.

242
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: Yesterday morning, I get out and feeding the dogs and

243
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the puppies, and it's like the ark at the moment

244
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: around her ours and I see Larry the count and

245
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I think, oh, can it deal. I have a little

246
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: wander around the deck. You know, I'll keep an eye

247
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: on him. So I go indoors, make a hot drink

248
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: for myself, sit there watching it on. I'm chatting to

249
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: my fifteen or daughter, Ruby and it's it's her cat.

250
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: She's getting a bit of angsty. So now you don't

251
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: think he's gonna run away. And I say it's a joke.

252
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Maybe today he's as big off and he's been waiting

253
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: for this day. Seconds later, he literally shinnes up a tree,

254
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: goes across the wall, jumps down the name of his garden.

255
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I leap up, go out to the garden and go Larry, Larry,

256
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Larry Larry. He doesn't even look round. Cats don't. He

257
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: doesn't even look round a dog would look round. When

258
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: he hit his name, He's gone. He is gone. He's

259
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: into a neighbor's garden, right, some like ruby, We're gonna

260
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: have to go around and wait the neighbors up. We've

261
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: got these lovely, elderly neighbors. They're so friendly. But whenever

262
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: I go around there, there's always some drama that I

263
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: need helpful. So I'm not hammering on the doors. I've

264
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: seven in the morning, you know, the long weekend, yesterday morning,

265
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: and they open the door and I go, hey, listen,

266
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: our cat is in your garden. Can I just get

267
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: in the back there? They go, yeah, yeah, sure, come

268
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: around the side. Obviously they're retired, they're still social distancing,

269
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: so they stay indoors and I just go around the back. Right.

270
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: They're now watching me and Ruby, the fifteen year old. Right.

271
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: Larry is on their garacter sort of shed roof at

272
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: the bottom of their garden. I'm looking at him, thinking

273
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: how are we going to get him down now? So

274
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: I tried to sort of shimmy up a pole and

275
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: why it's got like a plastic drain bike. I'm going

276
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: to pull this away and hurt myself. So I go

277
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: if you've got a ladder, and I borrow a ladder.

278
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: This is half seven yesterday morning. He has to come out.

279
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: Now we're still social distance. He gets this extendable ladder out,

280
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: hands it to me. I have to shove it in

281
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: like his hedge, and they've got an immaculate garden. It

282
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: must have been their pride and joy. It's wreck now

283
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: I have to put this ladder as I get into it,

284
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: sinking down in the said of their freshly dug sort

285
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: of rose bed let up the side of this shed,

286
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: and they've got a really high roof. Larry is about

287
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: six foot. I got up there and Larry, he's just

288
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: looking at me some bathing It's like Shawshank redemption, you know,

289
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: when he puts that classical music on. Is this some

290
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: joint his my, he's andy, he's out, he says some

00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: bathe in that beautiful sweet son on his cat face freedom,

292
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: you know. And he's six feet from me and I can't.

293
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: I can't get onto the roof because I'll go through

294
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: it into the shed, right, and I go, Larry, Larry,

295
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: He's not coming towards me. He's up. Screw you, I'm done.

296
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: I'm out, so go and get cats. Only get motivated

297
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: by one thing. Food. I won't go and get his bowl.

298
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: She goes back indoors, feels up. His bold of food

299
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: comes back right. The old couple's still back indoors now

300
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: watching this whole drama. It's like some sort of theater show.

00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: Dad and the door driving a meltdown. I go up

302

Speaker 1: the ladder again now with his bowl. Larry starts to

303
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: slowly come towards me. I'm doing you know, when you

304
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: don't want to give away the glint in your eye,

305
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: because I keep in my mind I'm practicing the grab.

306
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Do it slowly, like I'm gonna tickle him under the

307
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: chin and then get that scruff OF's neck. I go, Harry.

308
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: It's the same way they got Andrew to pray out

309
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: and that morning's office in shawshake redemption.

310

311
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: puts his head down and I've got him scruff's neck.

312
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: And now I've got him, I'm like, I'm up this ladder.

00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: How do I get down the ladder? I can't use

314
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: my hands. I'm wrestling him down like he's an on

315
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the run fugitive. He's reluctant. He doesn't want to come

316
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: with me. He's doing that a couple of paws and

317
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: trying to swing around like haymakers to try and get

318
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,720
