Speaker 1: Welcome to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Yesterday. My god, that's such a wild, exciting weekend. I
Speaker 2: didn't go. I don't like telling stories that maybe elevate
Speaker 2: me over the audience. But over the weekend, yes, I
Speaker 2: had to go to war Worst to buy a new
Speaker 2: mop and buffy, I know, humble brag and one with
Speaker 2: a really nice one by the way, it's thirty liter one.
Speaker 2: It's it's quite big, quite heavy, but it's a really
Speaker 2: good one of those where you can put your foot.
Speaker 3: Oh, the for Lader, that's it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love that stinking you know Patsy
Speaker 2: as it was user, Its like, what is this that
Speaker 2: I'm doing? This process in this thing that's happening here?
Speaker 2: What is this call?
Speaker 4: What is what's going on?
Speaker 2: Well? You put the mop in the oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know it's like the cradle hangs and you press
Speaker 2: something down with your foot and it spins it round,
Speaker 2: it wrings the water out for you. What's that cal.
Speaker 3: Patsy at the pedal?
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Didn you say for later Vlada? It's the I L
Speaker 3: A D A fish.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they're brilliant.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, joy, it's sting to use that when
Speaker 2: you put that foot down like that, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's it's a happy sensation anyway.
Speaker 4: And what does I give you that a normal mop can't.
Speaker 5: Well, you don't have to rinse it out with your hands, jack,
Speaker 5: and it gets it really, really dry.
Speaker 2: I've never done that.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna smush it in the bottom, you know,
Speaker 2: the base of the actual bucket. I won't be bringing
Speaker 2: out down by the stream or the.
Speaker 3: Creek, old school mops you used to have to do.
Speaker 2: But we're in two thousand.
Speaker 3: That's why it's so good.
Speaker 2: Anyway, as I'm leaving with my new mop and bucket,
Speaker 2: and that's literally all I left with. As well, I
Speaker 2: thought there was there was a dad and he was
Speaker 2: having words with his son, and he was saying, quite loudly,
Speaker 2: don't ever muck around in car parks. And I nodded, like,
Speaker 2: you know, that's good Sage Staut advice. I nodded like
Speaker 2: with the dad, think that is good advice, don't ever
Speaker 2: muck around in car parks. So this morning made me
Speaker 2: think about, well, you know, the various warnings that our
Speaker 2: parents used to give us. Now some of these I reckon,
Speaker 2: we're going to get a third of them makes sense,
Speaker 2: and then there's the overwhelm majority, which are odd, bizarre, supernatural, medieval.
Speaker 2: Even later, I'm still thinking about sim of the stuff.
Speaker 2: My tactic that doesn't make steall doesn't make any sense
Speaker 2: now It didn't when I was a kid, just as
Speaker 2: a fully grown adult, Patsy, what did you What was
Speaker 2: the warning your parents gave you?
Speaker 5: We lived kind of on the outskirts of town and
Speaker 5: we had, you know, paddocks around us, so we had
Speaker 5: a great time growing up. We had dirt bikes and
Speaker 5: all sorts of things, and there was an old and
Speaker 5: out mops with your hands, we go fishing down on
Speaker 5: the on the dam and yabbing. It was so much fun.
Speaker 5: But there was an old farmhouse and abandoned farmhouse, and
Speaker 5: we knew that there was a well in the old
Speaker 5: sort of out the back of it.
Speaker 2: Up in Scooby Doo. How many TV shows that we
Speaker 2: grow involved the central store and a well.
Speaker 4: At the back of an old abandoned farmhouse.
Speaker 5: Always anyway, Dad had boarded it up so we didn't
Speaker 5: accidentally fall into it. But Mum was so petrified of
Speaker 5: me getting into the well and drowning that she said
Speaker 5: an old witch used to live down there.
Speaker 3: That was absolutely petrified.
Speaker 5: I never went near the farmhouse, so I guess it worked.
Speaker 4: Are you scared of all wells?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: I'll give himyah, I'll go to the side.
Speaker 5: But I was so convinced that there was actually an
Speaker 5: old witch with a big wat on her nose living
Speaker 5: down there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember my dad would never let us go
Speaker 2: swimming until at least ninety minutes after lunch, because otherwise
Speaker 2: we would drowned, not struggle, but we and I remember
Speaker 2: being so PARALOI going dd, I think it's only about
Speaker 2: an hour and forty five, so will they see? Sandwiches
Speaker 2: made me sink to the bottom here. I remember being
Speaker 2: so sky Even now, I still like, I'm going to
Speaker 2: give it another five or ten minutes on that pizza
Speaker 2: been the thing that sinks me to the bottom of
Speaker 2: the pool, and the lifeguards going, we can't get him up.
Speaker 4: I think we can do.
Speaker 2: Tell me he's not eating within ninety minutes. Jack, what
Speaker 2: did your parents used to warn you about.
Speaker 4: Flicking the lights which when you had wet hands or
Speaker 4: any moisture on your hands. Now, I guess that.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 4: That makes sense because if execution you're scared that we are,
Speaker 4: moisture would get in the circuitry and we would get.
Speaker 2: It right you did? Yeah, all right, So we're going
Speaker 2: to try and get to twenty of the see if
Speaker 2: we can make twenty of the warnings that your parents
Speaker 2: used to give you.
Speaker 1: Well, Christian no Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Christian, just to let you know, Wales also have nipples.
Speaker 2: Are we so much nipple talking today's show? I thought
Speaker 2: it was pretty big. I only found out Friday that
Speaker 2: dogs have nipples. Now Wales are getting it on it too.
Speaker 4: That would be a huge nipple.
Speaker 2: So David Attenburn never his outtakes have been his outtakes.
Speaker 2: All right, So there's morning. Then we can try and
Speaker 2: get to twenty of these twenty things your parents warned
Speaker 2: you about. Juck your boy, What have we got so far?
Speaker 4: Don't muck around in car parks. There's witches at the
Speaker 4: bottom of the well. Don't eat ninety minutes before going swimming,
Speaker 4: and don't flick any light switches with wet hands.
Speaker 2: Christian. My favorite was you'll understand when you're older. I
Speaker 2: remember that withering one. You'll get it one you're old.
Speaker 2: Never dive headfirst into a river. That's from Dave Christian.
Speaker 2: My dad used to threaten me well whenever I wanted,
Speaker 2: which was very confusing. For example, I'd say, Dad, can
Speaker 2: have a new bike. I'll give you a new bike
Speaker 2: in a minute if you don't stop talking. What that's
Speaker 2: what I want? Is father? Christmas is watching. I've used
Speaker 2: that as I've used that myself for the last coup years.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you are, pat Yeah, and then it goes
Speaker 2: so far? Yeah it does?
Speaker 6: Yeh.
Speaker 2: Never pick up your cars before the dealer has stopped
Speaker 2: handing out the cards. Who was your dad a crepier?
Speaker 2: I love this one. Don't look at the moon when
Speaker 2: it's windy. It will freeze your face in that expression,
Speaker 2: I've never heard that one. Don't kick empty bags or
Speaker 2: piles of rubbish. Someone may have put a rock in books.
Speaker 2: My dad said this ever forty years ago, and I
Speaker 2: still think about it most days. Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 2: go to Lince. Good morning, Alex, Good morning morning Alex.
Speaker 2: What was something your parents warned you about?
Speaker 8: Turning the car interior light on more driving?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a great one. Yeah. I still
Speaker 2: I still get upset or anxious if I turn it
Speaker 2: on slightly. Now presume it is. It is illegal, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Is it a distraction to end of the drivers?
Speaker 8: I don't think it is illegal, but for me back then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my dad used to say it will put other
Speaker 4: drivers off and they will crash. How will it if
Speaker 4: I drive? If I passed another car while I was
Speaker 4: driving at night and they had their interior light on,
Speaker 4: I think I'd be all right.
Speaker 2: No, you would, Yeah, you're right. You wouldn't be thinking
Speaker 2: is that a night club in there? Someone's front room.
Speaker 4: We're like moths to the light.

Speaker 7: sit on cold concrete because you will get piled.
Speaker 2: My mom was the saying, yeah, if you sat on
Speaker 2: a cold wall or a cold floor, you'd get piled exactly.
Speaker 7: I used to always think about the primary school when

Speaker 7: on the stairs and uh, and they were concrete, and
Speaker 7: I never knew what piles were though, I.
Speaker 4: Still don't know what piles is. Oh, Jack, you did

Speaker 7: Well, I was probably like five or six, you know,
Speaker 7: and being told you need get piles.
