0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast just about Jack's brother moving

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>into a shared house. Sometimes won't how many other guys

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>is he living with.

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 2>So they're going to be six people plus whatever partners

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 2>are staying in the rooms as well.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Shared houses.

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 3>I just can't kindage for two years of my life

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 3>when I was at university, me and seven mates were

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 3>in this three story dive, an absolute dive, I don't

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 3>think these days. You know, this was in nineteen ninety

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 3>three when maybe housing stands a little bit lax. We

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 3>were in the UK's The area we were in was

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 3>actually famous and made a big documentary with the BBC.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Did it was your It's most dangerous crack area of drugs.

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 3>We didn't know at the time it was just dirt cheap.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Then when we moved in there and there was always

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 3>like police raids next door in the middle of the

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 3>night and you know, all kinds of stuff gone, we

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 3>realized why this place is so cheap, this is so dangerous.

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 3>But anyway it was. It was a priest who was

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 3>the landlord, and obviously seven guys and three story building.

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're at that age where it's the first

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 3>time you're living from home. We were idiots, and I

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 3>remember that a couple of us had bikes because it

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 3>was cheaper to get around the city. And remember we

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>would late at night, at midnight and stuff up this.

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:09.919
<v Speaker 1>When we burn out.

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 3>We would get the bikes at the top of the

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 3>three story building and cycle them through the house, as

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 3>in down the stairs, and there was obviously prize is

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 3>for anyone who could. No one ever made it by

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>the way all the way down, and then one of

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 3>the lands actually broke his forum and had to be

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 3>taking the hospital. This did not stop us doing this

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 3>game for two years. And I remember one of the

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 3>worst things as well is some of the guys had

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>adult magazines.

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I had.

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 3>I had a girlfriend at another university and she would

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 3>twice a month come and stay for a weekend. I said, guys,

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, I really can't have you having those kind

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 3>of magazines is lying around. It's horrible and it upsets

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 3>so and I don't want to.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Where would they have them coffee table? It was just disgusting.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it was foul, and I said, listen, I don't

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 3>want to see it anyway, but when she comes to

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>you have to tidey in the away. So what we

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>agreed was they would keep them in the freezer and

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>then it was outside. I just wanted it outside. It

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 3>was disgusting. Men are foul. And I remember one weekend though,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 3>me and her, we were cooking and she went, I said,

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>they're in the freezer, and I forgot. Obviously this was

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 3>actually a working library of top shelf grumble max and

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 3>I heard this, Oh my god, and I went, oh, no,

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 3>she's seen the library.

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely horrified. Anyway, remember one day there was so much mess.

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 3>We just trashed this place. It was like animal house

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 3>in there. Towards the end of the two years, the

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 3>priest came round the landlord I do to do one

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 3>of his random inspections right.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>And I remember it was sober.

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>There was like a broken window and it was just

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.839
<v Speaker 3>like that hadn't been repaired. We han't talked about an age,

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>and it was just mess everywhere, and it was at

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 3>some point a nice house. I remember he burst into

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 3>tears and ran out the building. And that's when I

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 3>realized we've made a priest crime. Shame on all of

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 3>our souls for an eternity. See only this morning. I

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 3>want your shared house stories. Patsy did you ever live

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 3>in a shedow.

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't. I always lived on my arm.

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 3>I preferred it that you were lucky. All right, Shared

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 3>house stories, did you ever have one?

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my first share house, I didn't have any heating

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>in my room, so when the that.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Was an optional extra. The guy, the guy in my

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>building lived right at the top. He didn't have heating.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 3>He was He used to have to sleep with a

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 3>bad of clava during the winter, which was weird on

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 3>his face and like thermal.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Well I did.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I waited for the weekend when the guys weren't in

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 2>the house. I moved my bed into the living room,

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 2>and then every winter I would convert the living room

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 2>into my bedroom.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.400

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>shared Stories.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>This morning midweek score is coming up after eight random

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 3>acts of kindness and also the outwork time waster.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get some calls on air. Luke, good morning.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>What's your house share story for us?

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh God, I Christians, much like you are used to

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 4>live with a couple of mates in a sharehouse and

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 4>we get up for some of the most ridiculous games,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 4>like I remember one time we I think we found

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 4>the s litt lawn balls on hard Robison. We used

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 4>to exactly we well, we just walk around on the

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 4>lawn ball. You have to reach beyond you, grab the

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 4>one behind you, put it in front and walk on that.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 4>I've known how many times I rolled ankles still over

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 4>in the third ridiculous stuff.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Like that, you see what, Luke.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>I think that they should be doing this as part

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 3>of the training pre season for footy players to strengthen

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>up those ankles. I think this is a great strength

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 3>training and sort of balance thing. I'm actually the dan's

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>doing this. I'll have a better season.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 4>I didn't work at Michaels because they get.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Now now, you just had too much time in Shire houses,

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:31.760

<v Speaker 3>Hey Lauren, welcome to the show. So you lived in

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>a shared house.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 5>I currently do. I live with three boys.

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh my word, what's that like?

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 5>It's a little crazy, but it's good.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I wonder what's your best story about that?

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.600

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Amazing, you've got You've got me whatever, The rest of

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 3>the story is is all gold.

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>One of your housemates is a magician.

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.520

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 5>of tricks. There's always crazy stuff going on. But this

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 5>particular story was with everyone in the house except me.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 5>They were having a card throwing competition because he has

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 5>lots of cards around, and which quickly devolved into a

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 5>knife throwing competition, and they were throwing steak knives into

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 5>a big cardboard box, which is when I got home

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.799
<v Speaker 5>and saw what they were doing and tried to confiscate

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 5>all the knives. They put a knife through the flat

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 5>screen TV which was behind the box. They were throwing

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 5>it at what Yeah, so they had their target in

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 5>front of the TV.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this is how David Copperfield practices.

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.279
