Cool, Michelle said, I could easy fit 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:31.400 out my three with drive to work, park the car 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.480 at work, get in the lift, chant to sue the boss, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.400 call the other boss who never returns my calls. I 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.080 could easily get to eighteen like that. 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.919 But don't you sometimes put things on your to do 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:42.760 list like that so that you tick off a few 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.520 easy ones and it's like, all right now I'm getting to. 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.640 Let's go get out of big arnies. To do list here, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.480 it's just stuff like read, sit on backside, stare out window. Anyway, 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.799 the big thing on here for me is measure the oven. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.040 Now you might think, oh, you're gonna measure it them 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.640 by No, I'm to measure the oven and report back 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.320 to my boss, my wife, she will make the purchase 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.800 and decisions. That's what runs in our company slash family. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.520 Trouble is, though, measuring the oven isn't just easy one 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.320 those it's it sits on the floor. You all know 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.560 what a kickboard is. Yes, right, this overn was in 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.720 the house when we what's the word moved in? I 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.440 don't know why. Yes, I woke up one day in 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:26.960 someone else's house kickboard, moving in, become familiar with the 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.599 moving in process. It's also it's early. 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.720 Do you guys have that here in some way? 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.360 You know, you go into another another place with wolves. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.480 So this oven that was there we moved into the house. Right, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.120 this oven, it's now it's on its last legs. Okay, 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.640 there's a terrible rattling noise that's been going on for 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.120 months that now is getting louder and louder and louder. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.840 And I thought I'd better open the door when it's 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.800 making this right no noises. It was. The grill is 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.480 now hanging off, you know, it's falling in. I don't 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.600 think it's much more before it just blows up. Right, 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.640 But it's the kickboard. I don't know whether the oven 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.640 is sat on something like a plint, or it goes 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.280 behind the kickboard to the floor. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.800 Sometimes the kickboard is just something at the front, so 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.000 it's not actually sitting on it. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.320 Jery's call it what it is, a facade. I've always 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:16.080 wanted to say that word in context. Forty eight I've arrived. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.839 I hit peak life. I've just used a grown up 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.080 word like facade in the right. Yeah, And I don't 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.839 know how to put it away, to see behind the facade, 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:26.560 like ap peering behind the colonel of the Wizard of 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.680 Oz at mister rave and are you there or is 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.599 it a plint that it would sit on? 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.680 I reckon, the oven's got to town feet onto the 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.279 floor and the kickboard is just a facade. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.239 But how am I going to find this out? Hence 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.440 why I'm nervous about the measurement process ordering a new 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.120 oven and it being the completely wrong size. You can't 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.560 send it back, can't you? You can't put an oven 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.599 in your car, drive it tors post and try and 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.120 fit it in that metallic bit imagine a poor postage 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.279 and that with you on his shoulder and that little bike. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.839 So could you crowba the kickboard off? 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:00.600 You've got crow bar? 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:01.680 I can bring a crowbar in? 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.160 Have you've got crowbar? What have you got crowbar for? 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.800 Just in case you need a crowbars something? 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.599 What do you need a crowbar for? You don't work 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.120 in the trades industry? Of no business with the crowbar. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.320 The crowbar I have actually was handed down to me 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:14.040 by my dad. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:19.120 Oh it's a generational crowbar family crow bar. Actually, could 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.760 you bring in the crowbar tomorrow. 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.760 Yes, but it has sentimental value to me, remember, so 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:23.040 you have. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:28.760 To try to throw it in there for fun. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.480 Christian O'Connell Show podcast earlier. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.160 How life is just that, It's just a constant kind 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.880 of to do list, isn't it. You'll got to do 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.040 this summer, whether it's in your head and you can 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.120 remember what's on your to do list, or whether you 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.800 put it on your phone and you try and tick 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.040 off the items. And at the moment there are just 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.760 three things on my to do list on the phone. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.080 There's there's one big thing which is just filling me 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.360 with more dread than anything in my life right now, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.320 and that is measure the oven. And I know it 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.800 might sound really basic, like how dumb is this pomme 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.440 that you can't even get a tape messire out and 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.160 measure the oven. The thing is the oven. I can't 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:05.080 see its feet, all right, it's behind we've establishers behind it, 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.600 the kickboard that acts as a kind of facade. All right, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.840 if you just tuned in, stay with okay, I need 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.000 you out. I don't know whether there's a couple of 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.600 cheeky little feet hidden the other side of the facade. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.560 Slash kickboard, or it's just sat on some kind of plint, 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.280 like the oven is like some kind of giant microwave. 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.000 You slot it in and out. Yeah, okay, yeah, all right. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.160 People have called in. I didn't ask anyone to call in, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.720 but people have called in trying to help me out 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.640 because you're nice people, and I'm struggling right now, Josh, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.840 Good morning, Josh. Well I'm struggling, Josh. How can he 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:36.120 help me? 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:36.480 Mate? 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.920 Well, you shouldn't really need a croobio unless you want 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:44.120 to destroy it. Just from experience. I'm a capeter. I'm 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.880 not a cabinet maker, but from experience a point in 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.560 the park cabinets you should only need a drill just 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.800 there and do some screws that they're hidden behind some stickers. 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.440 Can I just say case people were tuned in, I 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.160 wasn't going to go the crowbar way, Jack Post said, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.840 what you need here? What you need here is a crowbar. Okay, 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.120 thank god, Josh. You've called in some kind of intervention 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.439 right now? Or I actually I might have demonister. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.280 Actually, the more I think about it, do you want 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.400 to put the kickboard back? After the new oucome of 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.640 good point? Don't use the krobah. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.320 Because Josha stepped in here. So Josh, what what should 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.760 I do then? With the screwdriver and the drill. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.080 Well, there should only be little stickers to hide the 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.240 screws so you don't see screws on the inside of 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.880 the cabinet. So you just peel off the sticker and 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.000 you should be able to undo all those screws and 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.679 pull the whole kick her off and then you can 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.080 put it back on once you measured it. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.240 All right, But the kickboard is like, I don't know, 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.320 six or seven feet long. I can just pull it out. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.240 It could be done in sections, or you might have 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:49.280 to pull the whole thing off. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:50.000 Just the check. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.880 This is one continuous thing. There are no separate sections 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.280 to this. I went on my hands and he's just 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.360 saying side feeling it. I hopeing not care. Trapped door, Yeah, 0:09:57.880 --> 0:09:59.079 got on the other side of it. How do I 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.760 get my out of here? You know that chat? Yes 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:05.920 about secret doors? Josh like that one? 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:06.280 All right? 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:07.640 Josh, thanks you help though, and I have a look 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:12.200 okay for these secret screws. No, thank you. Don't bring 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:13.880 the crowbar in tomorrow. Okay, that's a big thing. We've 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:14.400 learnt from that. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.320 Michelle, good morning, good morning, How are you. I'm good, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.920 Michelle hoping, yes, having just done this twice, just recently 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.840 won our rental property in one in their house. I'm 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.000 very familiar with this, and I exhausted all options before 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.480 I took to the crowbar myself. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.719 But as it turned out, as it turned out, well, 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.400 you need the Phillips head screwdriver, and underneath there are 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.160 two screws, one on either side of the kickboard, and 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.120 the whole thing just removed. And then your oven magically 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.760 is on feet. Every oven is on feet, apparently so 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.520 that you can have it as a bench high did giggle? 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:57.000 Used today? Yesterday? Used today? I googled free standing ovens. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:57.640 They exist? 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.560 Yeah, absolutely, Soluly they do. And our friend of ours 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:06.120 works for a big supply company, and I got two 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:10.360 new ovens, very different, very different sizes. Also, the inside 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.599 of your oven measures differently to the outside. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.240 Of your oven perpet two for running. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:20.040 For rental property, one for ovental copy, and the two 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.960 different sized ovens. So you know, isn't it says nine hundred, 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.040 It might not be nine hundred inside it might only 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:25.960 be eight hundred and twenty. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:27.560 You wife, my. 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.240 Wife give me this hellish task. It might not be 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.080 nine hundreds. Why would they do that? 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.439 Because the exterior is nine hundred, but the internal oven 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.000 cooking space can only be eight at sometimes eight hundred. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.920 So you want a true nine hundred oven. That's what 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.360 you need to. 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.199 Ask for Google, true nine hundred oven. 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.640 It seems like a risky thing to purchase online. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.760 I wouldn't purchase it online. I'd go and look at them. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.280 Yeah yeah, because you need to decide how many. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.959 Go oven shopping this weekend. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.640 Yeah yeah, you're gonna love it. It's just going to 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:00.559 be a I mean, you. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.719 Set foot in those showrooms, those shots come out, don't they. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.880 You know I can help you, certainly, you see that 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:12.280 wide eyed, sweaty, nervous.

Thank you very much for 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.280 the pro tips. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:47.400 You're welcome. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.160 Take it by the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.439 Loads of emails came in since yesterday's show, all about 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.720 the topic of school sports trauma. Because this kind of 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.120 trauma affects everyone. It's a global thing. If you went 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.559 to school, you'll have some kind of trauma very deep 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.120 in your hurt locker. It would be about one specific incident. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.520 What is it about. I'm guessing like sports teachers these 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.400 days they all seen really nice people, right. You've met 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.920 them at the at uder school, haven't you? And I 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.760 met them at a girls' school. They're very different people. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.280 It's like they actually chose that as a vocation. The 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.160 people that taught me at school appeared to have I 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.320 don't know, like they were just this was not the 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.079 life they chose themselves, and they actually hated not just kids, but. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:38.440 Mankind lpe teacher was ex army way he actually started, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.520 you stand like this, or you stand like this, and 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:42.920 you would go up and down the road. 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.480 Yes, you're just like privates on brain. Oh one, you 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.839 remember the old meter stick, right, he snapped in half 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.200 and had it rounded off an d and would have 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.920 it under his arm, tucked under his arm, right like 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.840 a colonel mite. I think he still thought he was 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.880 in the army and we were recruits. We're just children, sir. Okay, 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.400 So this morning, have you got a story, a very 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.480 specific story what's in the hurt looker about school sports trauma? 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.599 Some of these emails are incredible. This is from Grant Christianist. 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.040 At primary school in the eighties. We would have a 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.520 weekly swimming lesson in winter in an unheated outdoor Paul. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.240 We would have to go through the cold shower, also 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.600 outside to acclimatize before going in again. This is not 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.760 happening in this decade, is it? You know? It screams eighties. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.440 Once on arrival, we pulled back the covers only for 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.200 us to see a dead hedgehog floating about. He made 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.880 us scoop it up and then sent us in again swimming, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.120 saying it was character building. That's something Grant Christian My 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.400 school sports trauma is is to do purely with the 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.920 psychotic pe teacher taught you. It was a massive unit 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.040 of a guy six foot five, ex military let's us 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.920 call him mister John. First time we ever met him 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.760 in our first year was to be greeted by him 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.720 inside the gym holding a rounders bat covered in blood. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:11.160 When one of the kids asked what happened, he simply replied, rats, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:19.280 that was it. He terrified everyone. If he ever took 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.080 in a note to try to excuse you from pe, 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.360 he would just say, you're fit enough to clean the 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.600 gutters then, and that's exactly what you would do, clean 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.000 the gutters. Christian, I say again, absolutely unit of a bloke, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.840 but one who gained everyone's respect really fast. I saw 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.120 him a few years back in the supermarket. You just 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.760 heard that air about of a man that could switch 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.400 at any time, so I avoided the aisle. He was, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.240 thank you very much, Matthew Pert. That's very good, Christian. 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.840 My school sports trauma set the scene. It was a 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.400 few years ago. There was a bit of tough love 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.840 that was allowed. It was all considered second use of 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.920 this word this morning character building. I was a repeat offender. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.160 Forgetting my kit and got my trainers. So I was 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.960 sent like you to the lost property and all fine 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.920 was two trainers for a left foot, but none for right. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.440 So I went back to tell the pe teacher, Ah, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.160 there's nothing I can do. There's only two of the 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.640 left foot. Back I went, he told me to go 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.680 get them. I had to do run in two left trainers. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.280 They weren't even the same size. I never forgot my 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.840 trainers after this episode, Ashley turn out, these are great stories. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.960 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.520 School Sports Trauma one in Christian. My school sports trauma 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:40.040 still gives me shivers today involves forgetting my uniform. A 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.400 new rule was brought in one day when I forgot 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.720 those students we thought it was acceptable to turn up 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.720 without their sports kit. From now on would still do sports, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:54.480 but with their school uniform worn inside out is cruel. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.320 There was nothing more bounce, and I have to wear 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.360 I checked school dress with the pockets flapping like from 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.240 wings and the size tag there for all to see. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.280 I still hate missus d for doing this. It only 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.280 happened to me once and I never got my school 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:13.600 sports outfit after that because of what happened. You're still traumatized, Kathy. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.920 This is unbelievable. My sports teacher, Christian, taught me how 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.720 to swim by attaching a long pole to the back 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.160 of my trunks and dragging me through the water. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:24.320 What. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:31.080 No, that is not a way to teach anyone to swim. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.240 With signs off here. It didn't work, of course it didn't. 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.320 Some of the calls we've heard the last twenty minutes 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.879 we cannot put on air. I heard Jack saying him 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.080 on them tell Christian story. But we like child that 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:50.000 we can't have that on air. We have some kind 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.200 of codes and practices on the show. All right, let's 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.240 go to the few calls we can actually put to air, 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:02.000 and even some of these are questionable. No wonder our 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:06.080 generation drink so much. He saw this trauma. Rebecca, Good morning, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.960 Good morning, Hell are you? I'm good? So let's go 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.800 back to school days and school sports. What happened? 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.360 I think it was back in ninety one. We were 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.480 doing our sports down in the gym and one of 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.160 the we were running around and one of the kids 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:22.640 hurt himself and he said to the teacher, I've hurt 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.600 my leg. You know, truly saw it. She said, suck 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.960 it up and deal with it. So he's done that, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.400 and then he continued. We continue doing PE. And then 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.000 when we when he came in the following day, his 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.840 leg was in a cast and we're like, what the 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.840 hell happened? He goes, I broke my leg in PE, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.920 and so the teacher said, suck it up, and yeah, 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.000 he bufted his leg. 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.960 Yeah, they did not accept interest, did they did not care. 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.600 I don't even think said they had first aid kits, 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.399 you know, as you found out yesterday. Rebecca, thank you 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:52.800 very much. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:53.120 You cool. 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:54.479 Have a good day, you too. 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.200
