Speaker 1: Christian Christian O'Connell's show podcast.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: It's a Christian O'Connell show. The song that sums up

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: my weekend is this.

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 3: I love the sound of breaking up.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: I I'm telling now, at the age of forty seven,

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: the horror when you go, oh God, no, the world

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: that opens up when you break a window in your

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: house at the age of forty seven is exactly the

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: age of the same horror that you felt when you

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: were thirteen. Last time I broke a window, I was thirteen.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: It was a soccer ball, practicing free kicks in the

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: garden and my aim wasn't quite good enough, and my

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: mum happened to be literally washing up in the kitchen

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: by the kitchen window looking into the garden has this

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: big old leather football. You know, when you know it

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: was curving. I mean, David Beckham would love the curve.

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: I put on that literally aiming for the wall. It

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: was aiming for the all, but that ball was aiming

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: for the window and my mama's.

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: Face and it just went.

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Shattered, glass falling in and into the washing base and

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: Why you do.

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: All I heard was bucket money.

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: You know you work out there as the subtext going on.

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: So that was back when I was thirteen in.

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty six.

28
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, I've been trying to convince my wife, right,

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: when you are in a relationship and to be married

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: for a while, it's like you're running a business together,

31
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 2: and so any new purchases have to be preappoo vibed

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: by the other kind of shareholder, okay, And I'm trying

33
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: to convince her in the garage to see if I

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: can have an indoor kind of golf setup where I

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: can practice my swing.

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about the setup Andy Lee's got, No,

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: he's got a professional beach.

38
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's Jeff Bezos. What I need is a

39
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: more budget version of that. So at the moment I've

40
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: been looking at is it two budget to have a

41
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: washing line with some old secondhand rugs? Draights over that

42
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: and I whacked the ball into Okay, So if anyone

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: does know about a very budget home golf setup, please

44
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: let me know what to do. So my wife said, fine,

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: but does you not practice any golf inside the house

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: or outside the house. Now I did agree on that

47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: right the golf swing. However, over the weekend I was

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: getting very frustrated, put the final touches to my book,

49
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: and so I just thought, I just need a distraction.

50
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: Five minutes I.

51
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Picked up golfers will know this my pitching wedge, okay,

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: and this is for more shorter shots. Okay, it's got

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: higher loft on. It should get a bit of height,

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: all right. So I thought I can practice this in

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: the house. This is the only club I've got some

56
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: control over. Keyword here inside the house.

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: All right.

58
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm thinking it's not the swing. I'm not like going

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: fall back with it. I'm just going back three or

60
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: four inches. I'm still learning how to play golf is

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: the other thing. I don't have any control anyway. Unless

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: the first shot right, I can see the dogs. I'm

63
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 2: lining it up right, and I remember my coach told me, okay,

64
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: so it's just a very small pendulum, okay, body weight forward.

65
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: I hit a very good.

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Pitch shot right that was too good for the small

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: distance side it to cover, and it just hit at

68
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: the golf ball whacked that window cracked like a spider's web,

69
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: opened up right and straight away the kids come running down.

70
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: What was that? And I'm literally stood there. I'm thirteen again.

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: The grounded and the first.

72
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: Of the said Mom's gonna go mad, and then run

73
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: back up to ring her.

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: That's an up in the house, right then, let my phone.

75
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: My phone is going barely seconds later, tell me they're joking, Chris.

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: She just loses it. She cracks an even bigger problem

77
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: than the window pane. But do you know what, You

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,000

Speaker 3: Wasn't I It was my brother.

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: He managed to break two windows in the same location,

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: in the same manner within a week.

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: That's incredible. Tell us about the first.

85
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Break, Well, he used to walk down the corridor towards

86
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: their room, sort of kicking his shoes off as he

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: went and flicking them into the bedroom footloose. One of

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: them went through the window above he's.

89
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: Dead, which is a great change to do that.

90
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was issued with a severe reprimand the window

91
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: was replaced, and a week later he managed to do

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the same thing in.

93
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: The manner with the old kicking off the shoes.

94
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, I wasn't party to a conversation that took

95
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: place between him and my father, but needless to say,

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,440

100
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: the show. How did you break the window?

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's three weeks ago. We were having a

102
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: dinner party and we're making a homemade bavioli and the

103
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: kids were messing around out the back. So I went

104
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: out and told moss I come back in. They tried

105
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: to make a joke me and we're carrying on at

106
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: the window and I went to knock on the window,

107
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: hit at once in me hand went straight through. A

108
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: bit of glass went straight through my hand. And yeah,

109
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: blood squirting everywhere like a horror movie. So obviously everybody's panicking.

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: We'll call an ambulance, We'll go to hospital. I refused,

111
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: we were going to dinner first, So I put my

112
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: t shirt around it.

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: Square, quite a little bit of blood in there for

114
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: a bit of exercause.

115
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: Everybody's going that you've got to go. You're turning what

116
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: And we went to the hospital an air and a

117
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: half later.

118
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: And after you had that ravioli, after we.

119
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: Had the ravioli. Three days later, I had surgery to

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: sew back the muscle belly, but I did get to

121
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: finish a raviolid.

122
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: Banging on that window, Scott to put notice your you
