Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast just about Jack's brother moving
Speaker 1: into a shared house. Sometimes won't how many other guys
Speaker 1: is he living with.
Speaker 2: So they're going to be six people plus whatever partners
Speaker 2: are staying in the rooms as well.
Speaker 1: Shared houses.
Speaker 3: I just can't kindage for two years of my life
Speaker 3: when I was at university, me and seven mates were
Speaker 3: in this three story dive, an absolute dive, I don't
Speaker 3: think these days. You know, this was in nineteen ninety
Speaker 3: three when maybe housing stands a little bit lax. We
Speaker 3: were in the UK's The area we were in was
Speaker 3: actually famous and made a big documentary with the BBC.
Speaker 3: Did it was your It's most dangerous crack area of drugs.
Speaker 3: We didn't know at the time it was just dirt cheap.
Speaker 3: Then when we moved in there and there was always
Speaker 3: like police raids next door in the middle of the
Speaker 3: night and you know, all kinds of stuff gone, we
Speaker 3: realized why this place is so cheap, this is so dangerous.
Speaker 3: But anyway it was. It was a priest who was
Speaker 3: the landlord, and obviously seven guys and three story building.
Speaker 3: You know, you're at that age where it's the first
Speaker 3: time you're living from home. We were idiots, and I
Speaker 3: remember that a couple of us had bikes because it
Speaker 3: was cheaper to get around the city. And remember we
Speaker 3: would late at night, at midnight and stuff up this.
Speaker 1: When we burn out.
Speaker 3: We would get the bikes at the top of the
Speaker 3: three story building and cycle them through the house, as
Speaker 3: in down the stairs, and there was obviously prize is
Speaker 3: for anyone who could. No one ever made it by
Speaker 3: the way all the way down, and then one of
Speaker 3: the lands actually broke his forum and had to be
Speaker 3: taking the hospital. This did not stop us doing this
Speaker 3: game for two years. And I remember one of the
Speaker 3: worst things as well is some of the guys had
Speaker 3: adult magazines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had.
Speaker 3: I had a girlfriend at another university and she would
Speaker 3: twice a month come and stay for a weekend. I said, guys,
Speaker 3: you know, I really can't have you having those kind
Speaker 3: of magazines is lying around. It's horrible and it upsets
Speaker 3: so and I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Where would they have them coffee table? It was just disgusting.
Speaker 3: Okay, it was foul, and I said, listen, I don't
Speaker 3: want to see it anyway, but when she comes to
Speaker 3: you have to tidey in the away. So what we
Speaker 3: agreed was they would keep them in the freezer and
Speaker 3: then it was outside. I just wanted it outside. It
Speaker 3: was disgusting. Men are foul. And I remember one weekend though,
Speaker 3: me and her, we were cooking and she went, I said,
Speaker 3: they're in the freezer, and I forgot. Obviously this was
Speaker 3: actually a working library of top shelf grumble max and
Speaker 3: I heard this, Oh my god, and I went, oh, no,
Speaker 3: she's seen the library.
Speaker 1: Absolutely horrified. Anyway, remember one day there was so much mess.
Speaker 3: We just trashed this place. It was like animal house
Speaker 3: in there. Towards the end of the two years, the
Speaker 3: priest came round the landlord I do to do one
Speaker 3: of his random inspections right.
Speaker 1: And I remember it was sober.
Speaker 3: There was like a broken window and it was just
Speaker 3: like that hadn't been repaired. We han't talked about an age,
Speaker 3: and it was just mess everywhere, and it was at
Speaker 3: some point a nice house. I remember he burst into
Speaker 3: tears and ran out the building. And that's when I
Speaker 3: realized we've made a priest crime. Shame on all of
Speaker 3: our souls for an eternity. See only this morning. I
Speaker 3: want your shared house stories. Patsy did you ever live
Speaker 3: in a shedow.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't. I always lived on my arm.
Speaker 3: I preferred it that you were lucky. All right, Shared
Speaker 3: house stories, did you ever have one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, my first share house, I didn't have any heating
Speaker 2: in my room, so when the that.
Speaker 3: Was an optional extra. The guy, the guy in my
Speaker 3: building lived right at the top. He didn't have heating.
Speaker 3: He was He used to have to sleep with a
Speaker 3: bad of clava during the winter, which was weird on
Speaker 3: his face and like thermal.
