Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: I think, no matter what kind of weekend you have,
Speaker 2: even if you never managed to have a good weekend,
Speaker 2: often on Monday, you still got rattling around in your
Speaker 2: head like a pee and a can, some little thing
Speaker 2: you can't let go of.
Speaker 3: I woke up at three a m.
Speaker 2: And I suddenly had a better thing to say for
Speaker 2: an argument I had with my two teenage daughters. I
Speaker 2: literally had a huge meltdown with them Saturday morning. Let
Speaker 2: me just see if I can walk you through this, right,
Speaker 2: So you remember on Friday I was telling you how
Speaker 2: I was going to have the fast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, eighteen hours.
Speaker 3: No, I got it wrong.
Speaker 2: The clinic called me, going, someone off has heard your
Speaker 2: show today. You must not fast for eighteen hours. Were
Speaker 2: you going to do that seriously or was it a
Speaker 2: thing of the radio?
Speaker 3: No, I I've already started. I've got six bag for
Speaker 3: the first time.
Speaker 2: They be malnourished. No, No, twelve hours. You mustn't go
Speaker 2: any more than that. I was like, okay, thank you
Speaker 2: for calling and telling me how to be an adult.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I'm fast for twelve hours and then I
Speaker 2: get up in the morning, go straight to my blood taken,
Speaker 2: right to all of those Melbourne pathology places.
Speaker 3: I get there, there's a queue out the door. Right there,
Speaker 3: says your queue.
Speaker 2: And I don't know whether people are so bored at
Speaker 2: the moment just for something to do, to get out,
Speaker 2: they want to go and have their blood tested. So
Speaker 2: then I go in little water and I'll wait there
Speaker 2: over two hours. It's now up to fourteen hours, right.
Speaker 2: I go in to have mine, right, and I'm starting
Speaker 2: to fill all of had his water. The lady goes,
Speaker 2: when you last eight? I said, oh, it's eight o'clock now,
Speaker 2: ten ams eight o'clock yesterday, and she says, oh you
Speaker 2: have Oh sorry, love, you're gonna have to come back
Speaker 2: into the time.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, what what because you've fasted too long?
Speaker 3: Oh no, waiting room you go, she said something. I went,
Speaker 3: I've got those other people around. I don't I can't go.
Speaker 2: Oh excuse me, you know, especially doing this and as
Speaker 2: you think he is is pushing coming in and taking
Speaker 2: our jobs and now taking our cue using the blood.
Speaker 2: So I go home, right, and I'm really irritated, right,
Speaker 2: and I haven't een So you put this together. It's
Speaker 2: the perfect storm. I come into my house and there
Speaker 2: is a pile of cat vomit, right, and the kids
Speaker 2: there's cat vomit. Then they went, yeah, we know what,
Speaker 2: carry on watching TV Infurio already and I'm not clearing
Speaker 2: it up. And then they go, we're doing a minute.
Speaker 2: We thought we'd have our breakfast first. Then clear up,
Speaker 2: it doesn't work like that. How long has that been there?
Speaker 2: About an hour or so? You're just waiting for me
Speaker 2: to do that or your mum?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And then I just literally had a meltdown. Went I'm
Speaker 2: going to go and have a shower and some seat
Speaker 2: and when I.
Speaker 3: Come back, that better not be there. And I could
Speaker 3: hear him going, oh, he's in a bag.
Speaker 2: And then I go flying back here and when I'm
Speaker 2: not in a bad mood, this is unacceptable.
Speaker 3: And then I did this classic dad run.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get anywhere in your life if you
Speaker 2: don't do stuff like this. And then one of them
Speaker 2: it just looks at me and went, what does that
Speaker 2: even me? When they've actually got you with their boody logic?
Speaker 5: If?
Speaker 4: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: But I won't I need.
Speaker 2: To eat, all right, So do not begin this week
Speaker 2: still in rage still with something rattling around in you,
Speaker 2: rage against your weekend. If you've woken up this morning
Speaker 2: and suddenly it's still there, some small thing over the weekend,
Speaker 2: an uncompleted argument or unfinished business, whatever it is. If
Speaker 2: there's a rant in you, we want to hear it
Speaker 2: this morning so you can you can dump it on
Speaker 2: the show and then begin your week cleansed lighter.
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jackie Boy, what is it for you? What's your rage
Speaker 2: against the weekend?
Speaker 4: So the cat's obviously out of the bag. About this
Speaker 4: communal table tennis table that's open to all the public,
Speaker 4: that's just outside our house. Bank and I were loving
Speaker 4: it for the first week because it felt like we
Speaker 4: were the only ones who.
Speaker 3: Knew about it. It's got your own bats.
Speaker 4: We ordered bats, we've got our own balls, and we
Speaker 4: were playing every day. Now over the weekend, especially with
Speaker 4: the sun out, the place is crowded. It feels like
Speaker 4: all from you know, sunrise to sunset. Not only that,
Speaker 4: the families come in their cars, so now you can't
Speaker 4: get a car spot in the street because people lining
Speaker 4: the street with their cars crowding.
Speaker 3: Around the table.
Speaker 4: Block party Honestly, you think Roger Federer was playing at
Speaker 4: the table tennis table.
Speaker 3: It's the pre Open.
Speaker 4: That's the crowd that gathers at the table tennis table.
Speaker 4: So now not only could we play, we get home
Speaker 4: from the shops and we can't even find a part.
Speaker 3: Oh that would actually drive me nuts.
Speaker 4: I want to put up some kind of like out
Speaker 4: of order sign. It's not the table tennis.
Speaker 3: Actually, why don't won't you put signs of going? This
Speaker 3: is a tier one signe.
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm going to use this.
Speaker 2: Encourage listeners to put up fake tier one sites everywhere.
Speaker 3: Just snake and use a ping pong table.
Speaker 1: The Christian Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jackie Boy is still raging about the communal table tennis
Speaker 2: that's just been installed across the road from the south.
Speaker 2: So I didn't realize that he can actually see it
Speaker 2: from your bedroom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I look out the shutters at people having
Speaker 4: fun on.
Speaker 3: What I really feel is my middle age.
Speaker 2: You've got shutters, and b you know how to use
Speaker 2: them properly, which is a spy on people.
Speaker 4: Imagine me in my sneakers and my shirts already with
Speaker 4: the table tennis bat in my hand, looking out those shutters.
Speaker 4: Waiting from my turn on the table.
Speaker 3: Got a pregnant wife as well, who's obviously not going
Speaker 3: to be able to move.
Speaker 4: That quickly exactly, So now's the time to play her,
Speaker 4: because she's better than me. Still, is a better than

Speaker 4: getting that. I don't want to say extra weight around
Speaker 4: but the baby.
Speaker 3: She's got.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say. People say, well, you're already
Speaker 2: controlling your words. Don't say, in fact, just stop talking.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that's it.
Speaker 4: You can't say she's got extra weight because she's got
Speaker 4: the baby.
Speaker 3: Play that sound of it. This isn't the best example.

Speaker 7: So I said, know you?
Speaker 2: Easy to remember next time. AnyWho, Amrie, what is your
Speaker 2: rage against the weekend?
Speaker 7: My rage against the weekend was a couple of possums
Speaker 7: deciding to make babies about three o'clock this morning. Yeah
Speaker 7: my bedroom window. Yeah, that noise and it's it's really
Speaker 7: scary because I've got a French bulldog and since she
Speaker 7: hears that noise, she puts outside and I think, no,
Speaker 7: you can't know it there because she could be attacked.
Speaker 7: And I so, yeah, can someone?
Speaker 6: Can I get rid of these possums?
Speaker 4: Very vicious possums. If you're taking down the dog.
Speaker 2: Well that lamb anyone you turned separate them once they're
Speaker 2: at it was that locked in, they will go for
Speaker 2: a French bulldog or a human being.
Speaker 4: But though noises that possums make will surprise you. The
Speaker 4: first time I heard the possum noise, I couldn't believe
Speaker 4: that that's what was coming out of the mouth.
Speaker 3: People have never heard that noise before. Could you recreate
Speaker 3: it now.
Speaker 4: So mine wasn't a love making. But I heard two
Speaker 4: possums fighting and it.
Speaker 5: Was it was like, that's what love making.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought they like it rough. There is a
Speaker 2: lot of rough play, was guys. It's just consensual, you
Speaker 2: know what is going on? They it looks like they're fighting.
Speaker 3: They're not. It's rough and tumble. Oh it sounded so violent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'll tell you the other thing as well
Speaker 2: about when they do that. I don't know if it's afterwards,
Speaker 2: you know, because they're happy, but they what is about
Speaker 2: that possum poop?
Speaker 3: Right? My dogs keep rolling r like they got cat.
Speaker 2: They get their eyes go and what they does someone
Speaker 2: to their fer don't know what the smell is. And
Speaker 2: no matter how much you rinse them offul shampoo them,
Speaker 2: it stinks all day long.
Speaker 4: That I looked up why they did that, because Luna
Speaker 4: was was doing that so much.
Speaker 3: I looked up.
Speaker 4: While they do that, it's to hang over from their
Speaker 4: wool days when there were hunters and they would roll
Speaker 4: in poo to cloak their smell so that they could
Speaker 4: you know, creep up on their victims and they wouldn't
Speaker 4: be smelling victims praying.
Speaker 2: He's gone a bit big on this whole possum thing,
Speaker 2: and dogs out on their way. Yeah, hello to everyone
Speaker 2: else in there.
