1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Quest. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. Yesterday 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: on the show, then we got the story from Fiona, 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 2: and I thought we could get some more stories about 5 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: things blown away and flying away Christian. I bought a 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: big painting on canvas. They brought it out to the 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: car and I realized it was too big to fit 8 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: to the station work and I had so I try 9 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: to attach it to the roof rack with string and 10 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 2: duct tape. 11 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: I love it. 12 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 2: You know when you see people who have tried to 13 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: do this, they don't it's only two k's, it's not far, 14 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: and they look so nervous. You know that isn't making 15 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 2: it back to your house. I thought if a drive 16 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: home at Snail's pace, everything would be okay. 17 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't. 18 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: About two hundred meters up the road, the painting flew 19 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: off the roof and landed in the middle of the 20 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: road and I had to stop the traffic. So yesterday 21 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: were talked about why did you have to stop the traffic? 22 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: But I think there might be more stories from you 23 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 2: this morning on nine four one four, one oh four 24 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 2: three about things flying away. I remember being up about 25 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: a year and a half ago on a holiday. We're 26 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: up on the Gold Coast and I brought this gazebo 27 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: to protect us from the sun. Only the wind changed 28 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: really quickly and the gazebo and being just in the sea, 29 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: I could see this gazeba tumbling. It was like doing 30 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: several flipping and people were like moving their kids out 31 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: of the way, and you know when they look at 32 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: down the beach and go, where's the jet that didn't 33 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: secure this or but were enough sand and I was like, 34 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: we don't need to wait it down too much as 35 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: a lovely sunny day kids. I then had to get 36 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: out and run. I was actually chasing this gazebo and 37 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 2: it's bloody. Had to get one of those it starts 38 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: because it became then a kind of sorts as the 39 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: wind was behind sort of pulling me. 40 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 3: At what point do you just leave and go shuffle 41 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 3: the family off the bat It's not our. 42 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: Someone else's problem. Yeah, jackie boy, if you've got to 43 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: saw about something flying away. 44 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: I had one over summer. I tried to do a 45 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: DIY project with Mum and Dad's old outdoor umbrella, one 46 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: of the big ones that you hoist above an outdoor setting, 47 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: and I took the top off it and just put 48 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: the canvas umbrella on the outdoor. I guess it's like 49 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: an open pergole of that backyard, so it's got no shade. 50 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: I thought I'll just use the big umbrella and make 51 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: a shade class with it. Tied it down with metal wire, 52 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: so I thought it was solid. It wasn't even a 53 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: week up there before it snapped the wire. 54 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: And blew off. Wow to go next door. 55 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: No, it's thankfully it didn't because if it did, it 56 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: could have really caused some damage. It just went further 57 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: into the backyard. 58 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: So what just like metal wires, use cable ties or anything. 59 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: No, I thought it was stronger than I thought metal 60 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: wire was strong. The cable ties would have come off 61 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 3: surely plastic. 62 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: Christian Connell's show podcast, Patsy, what's your story? What flew away? Mate? 63 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: Dad was taking me to UNI back in the day 64 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 4: and he had strapped my wardrobe on the top of 65 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: the roof or actually no, he'd sort of put the 66 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 4: wardrobe in the back of his ute on the tray 67 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 4: and like put straps around the cab. 68 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: You mean like a wooden sort. 69 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: Of old style wardrobe because there wasn't a wardrobe in 70 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 4: my room and he'd got those you know, those stretches. 71 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: In my mind, this is a walking one. It's an 72 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: actual room. 73 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: Floor room at university. 74 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: There's an entire room being towed.
