Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.
Speaker 1: Jennifer is a sign of second weekend in Lockdown. But
Speaker 1: yesterday me and my two teenage daughters managed to get
Speaker 1: into an argument about how recently I've stopped using a
Speaker 1: knife when I'm having dinner with them. What do you
Speaker 1: mean I've switched to go and spoon and fork? Right,
Speaker 1: because spoon for dinner? Spoon and fork you're eating a soup? No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm now Like yesterday I made this homemade bread and
Speaker 1: chicken with parmesan and we had cold swaw with it
Speaker 1: in some hot chips. I'm quite happy using a spoon
Speaker 1: and sniffle. Yeah, easily, I can use it, now, tell
Speaker 1: you what. Also, it's a more effective like the knife
Speaker 1: once it's done shopping stuff up. The knife is pedestrian,
Speaker 1: whereas the spoon and fork can both be very active
Speaker 1: together there. I feel they're more of a stronger sort
Speaker 1: of combination than the knight than the knife and the form.
Speaker 2: So what are you using the cut the side of a.
Speaker 1: Fork, solo fork or the very sharp side of a spoon.
Speaker 2: You must have sharp spoons at your house, No wonders
Speaker 2: describes at the side of it's.
Speaker 1: Got a very strong grip. Jack, I could just press
Speaker 1: down and break up then the chicken breast.
Speaker 2: True, the knife only does one thing, yes, but it's
Speaker 2: a useful thing because you need your food cut up.
Speaker 1: So we start asking about arguing about knife, spoon, fork.
Speaker 1: One of them has to go. So imagine we have
Speaker 1: to get rid of one of them, right, because the
Speaker 1: country draw is just a mess in our house.
Speaker 2: Spoon goes no way, Yes, spoon goes well, you're gonna
Speaker 2: have your cereal with no Well, I guess, I guess
Speaker 2: you don't.
Speaker 1: Have a spoon is more essential service than the knife.
Speaker 2: You could your knife steak. You'll never eat a steak.
Speaker 1: Then you have your best friend, the state knife. He
Speaker 1: comes out for bigger or the other.
Speaker 2: Get rid of the knives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not the steak. State knife has to stay, but
Speaker 1: the other's sort of what I call Monday to Friday ones.
Speaker 1: You can all leave. They're not doing enough.
Speaker 2: What about buttering bread?
Speaker 1: Spoon can do that.
Speaker 2: No spoon can.
Speaker 1: Let me demonstrate this now, my hand like a paw
Speaker 1: is the spoon, but I'm scooping it like I would
Speaker 1: a JCB digger, scoop it up.
Speaker 2: Okay, into the concave section and.
Speaker 1: Then I just reverse it and he used that nice
Speaker 1: sort of con cave back to smooth out the butter.
Speaker 2: How did the butter get from inside the spoons outside
Speaker 2: the spy?
Speaker 1: You fold the bread in half and you scoop it
Speaker 1: out between get a knife, but tweets thumb and finger,
Speaker 1: and then you go back to mister spoon. He's being
Speaker 1: used again, and you just smooth it out that way
Speaker 1: like the back of a trout. Really, maybe the.
Speaker 2: Fork is not needed then, because the spoon the spoon.
Speaker 2: You need a knife definitely for buttering and for cutting.
Speaker 1: It's quite savage of fork is just simply jabbing at food.
Speaker 2: You can eat a steak with a spoon and a knife.
Speaker 2: It looks straight restaurant.
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw this open knife spoon fork. One
Speaker 1: has to go.
Speaker 2: Who you getting spoons out?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: I'm sad about cereal, but it has to go because
Speaker 2: knough and fork are too essential.
Speaker 1: Knife can go for me. Okay, what do you think
Speaker 1: you're listening to the question know Kyle's show podcast. This
Speaker 1: is what it's like to being locked down with teenage daughters.
Speaker 1: Before we even got arguing about knife spoon fork. We've
Speaker 1: been oh sorry, they've been arguing. I've been just trying
Speaker 1: to be like a Buddha and not bite or get involved.
Speaker 1: They thought it was very unfair, very very unfair that
Speaker 1: they're expected to help out with household chores, and I
Speaker 1: just laugh, going, yeah, of course you think that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean I need to listen to it. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: does feel unfair and get on with it.
Speaker 2: Which ones do? They have? The classics?
Speaker 1: For us?
Speaker 2: As kids were loading and unloading the dishwasher, and that's
Speaker 2: probably about it.
Speaker 1: I've tried to get them to do the washing, but
Speaker 1: that was a nightmare. They were deliberately shrinking my clothes.
Speaker 1: What a great way to get out of that shore
Speaker 1: by ruining my stuff. And it was only ever my stuff.
Speaker 2: I noticed on the drive.
Speaker 1: They didn't go for the ol from the family, my wife.
Speaker 1: It was just let's pick on him, let's take him
Speaker 1: out first. He's low hanging through. So yeah, they were
Speaker 1: doing the old thing and one of them said this classic.
Speaker 1: Do you ever say this? Two parents? I didn't ask
Speaker 1: to be born. Now I'm expected to do with these chawes.
Speaker 1: But anyway, then they were we were sittting down to
Speaker 1: have something to eat. And I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but the best thing the word we're having to dinner
Speaker 1: is to eat it on your lap, isn't it? Yes,
Speaker 1: we eat whenever they have friends around. I always make up. Oh,
Speaker 1: we're just doing this. This is a one off, not
Speaker 1: only at the table, and we're talking about philosophy and poetry.
Speaker 1: It's very rare that we just eat. I like savages
Speaker 1: off our laps, staring at the TV, not talking to
Speaker 1: each other. So I recently haven't been using a knife.
Speaker 1: I will eat with the family, but I will now
Speaker 1: use spoon and.
Speaker 2: Fur Let me guess. Is it just for so there's
Speaker 2: less things to wash up? Because I do like I
Speaker 2: actually do like that, trying to be essential and not
Speaker 2: use as many things. If I can reuse a plate
Speaker 2: or not even use a plate, yes, but the knife
Speaker 2: is essential in cutlery. I think you can get rid
Speaker 2: of the spoon.
Speaker 1: By the way. Pro tip if you weren't even a
Speaker 1: streamline as well when you use when the dishwasher is done,
Speaker 1: don't ble or unpack it. Just start using that. Now
Speaker 1: it's a new cutlery. I do that one.
Speaker 2: I try to get away nuts.
Speaker 1: I just use it's a cutlery drawer and just go
Speaker 1: and take stuff from it and use it then rather
Speaker 1: than I'm backing it.
Speaker 2: Then I get in trouble for because I've taken half
Speaker 2: of the stuff out of it. And is this clean
Speaker 2: or is it not clean? I can't tell me now chaos.
Speaker 1: All right, knife spoon fork one has to go. I'm
Speaker 1: saying the knife can go, it's overrated.
Speaker 2: I'm saying the spoon can go. The fork can do
Speaker 2: a lot of heavy lifting that the spoon can do.
Speaker 1: But together, think about the spoon and fork together. Whatever
Speaker 1: you're having, you can shoven it up quicker and easier.
Speaker 2: But you can't cut anything.
Speaker 1: Of course you can. You've got the sides of the
Speaker 1: fork which can be a blade, and also the side
Speaker 1: of the spoon can easily be a blade.
Speaker 2: A blade is a better blade and the blade is
Speaker 2: a knife.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is profound. All right, let's go into lines.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Frank morning, Frank morning. How I'm good, Frank,
Speaker 1: hope you had a good weekend. Knife spoon fork which

Speaker 3: works brilliantly.
