1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connor show, Jack House.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Something living in your roof.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 3: It's in there, it's up there. We hear every night

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 3: as we watch TV.

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Is Sue the Boss. She's determined to get you up

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: earlier and into the studio. Sue the bosses up there.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: We know it up there, so.

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: Well, if it's too she's got scratchy feet, because it's

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: something with scratchy feet going scritch, scratch, scratch each night

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: as we're watching TV. I think it might be birds

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: because in the daytime I see birds hanging around the

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: window near where the scretching is.

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: You see hanging around. I mean they're just they're just birds,

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: not hanging around.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: They like something about.

16
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: Youths hanging around. That's seven eleven.

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: They're loitering. The birds are loitering above our windows, loitering

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: with intent. Then, when I was a kid, obviously a

19
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: common one is possums in the roof. We had possums

20
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: at Mum and Dad's. And then it could be a

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: third thing. I've seen a rat at our house in

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: the backyard. Imagine it was a rat or a family

23
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: of rats living in the roof.

24
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: Rats. Do you think it's right? Don't I mean scratching

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: the fear of it. Right, doesn't the word rats? Gare you?

26
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of? No one's going to thank

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: me for the saying this, but I'm going to share

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: it now. Do you know what a king rat is?

29
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: It sounds just like a massive rat.

30
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: Right.

31
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: The London underground is like, if you've ever been on londonderground,

32
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: you'll see rats everywhere. Okay, because it's the underground. Someone wants.

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: When I said, oh, these rats here, one of the

34
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: underground stuff was telling me about what a thing called

35
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: a king rat?

36
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: What like a queen bee?

37
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: God, No, it's worse than that. But when it's the

38
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: real subterranean darkness for rats, right, their tails when they're

39
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: living together, because there's like hundreds of them, their tails

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: become entwined and they can't separate. So you can have

41
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: ten to twelve rats tangled together. What happens is one rat,

42
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: one rat, king rat will move them all as one.

43
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: That's terrific.

44
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

45
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: When he told me about that, I actually went right,

46
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: you've seen that in a cartoon. No, he told me

47
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: about he's seen king rats.

48
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: Wait, so the tail together they.

49
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Get entoying because the darkness they're all onto the bitch.

50
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: Hundreds of them. Hundreds of them, right, okay, produce a

51
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: real of rat tails tied together. No, you've seen the

52
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: racking that I want to be. I demand to be

53
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: not now on the racking, the racking. How often is that?

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: I think that's living by roof.

55
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: Rat King, Seriously, that thing comes down and drags you away.

56
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: There's nothing to do. You're up there. We'd have to

57
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: leave you up there to die. Whyn't a jack boast?

58
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: Did you fire him?

59
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: No, Ratking, they dragged him away because I saw the

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: rat at the worst possible time. I've never seen a

61
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: rat before, and.

62
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: It's the worst possible time to see it. In the

63
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: afternoon five boss fight, we were.

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: We were having a dinner party, and.

65
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: You flashed it. Oh, sorry to interrupt this dinner party

66
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: for vring out the fare rat.

67
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: I think my friends outside to show on the lawn

68
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: because we got the lawny.

69
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: Dinner party strings on the lawn.

70
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: Now law.

Speaker 3: And then a rat took off across the back fence,

74
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: you know, one side to the other, and all my

75
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: friends said you've got rats here, so I've got either.

00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: And it's also the show since we came back.

79
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: By the way, possible rat, I love it.

Speaker 2: Rid of them? Bacon sandwich? Who can resist the lurever

Speaker 2: bacon sandwich? They come out for that? Give us a call.

92
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Christ Connell Shoe podcast.

93
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: Patsy, you must have experiences about this.

94
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: We had rats once, Jack and we could smell it.

95
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: All used to crawl around our here. No we could

96
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: smell it. It had obviously died in the roof, and

97
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: it just progressively got worse over a couple of days.

98
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: And I said, to the love God, you need to

99
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: get up there in that roof and check it out anyway,

100
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: So he opened the manhole and it had very conveniently

101
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: died right near the manhole, so he didn't have to

102
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: crawl through the roof. So we went to Bunning's got

103
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: those big black industrial long gloves because we're thinking how

104
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: we're going to pick it up. This thing was massive.

105
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: It was like the size of a small dog, like

106
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: a fox terrier.

107
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 2: I'm not it was huge that you got the mega

108
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: dog and now you've got a mega rasage. So anyway

109
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: to get a wheelbarrow, I.

110
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: Had to hold the big garbage bag. I couldn't look,

111
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: so I'm down below the ladder not looking. He had

112
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: the gloves, he got the long you know those barbecue tongs,

113
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: the long ones. Picked it up with that and we

114
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: the barbie ate it when you put it in the bag. Honestly,

115
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: it was like a load of bricks going in the bag.

116
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: This thing was huge. I think it had babies or something.

117
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: It was massive.

118
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

119
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's go into the lines. Linda, birds, possum

120
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: or rats.

121
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 5: Rats for the worst. They're definitely the worst. But Jack,

122
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 5: I've got this fantastic tip for you from my old

123
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: Scottish neighbor. What you do is, if you've got a cat,

124
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 5: or you've got a friend that's got a cat, you

125
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: get their really dirty, smelly, stinky liter and put it

126
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: in a bag and put it in your roof. And

127
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: then the rats or whatever they think, Yeah, they think

128
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: there's a cat up there, and so they go, they

129
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 5: go away.

130
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: They have a load of Larry stuff, fresh fresh Larry

131
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: PiZZ tomorrow morning, sprinkle out. There there's a line up

132
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: the sides of that fat cat I've got.

133
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: So all I'm doing, though, is trading the scratching of

134
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: the animal for the smell of cat pete.

135
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

136
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, but once they've gone and then just get rid

137
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: of the cat pe because they're not going to come back.

138
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 5: They'll go and live somewhere else.

139
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: It's a good idea.

140
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: It's not a great idea, but if I get desperate,

141
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: I will try it.

142
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: Okay, let me know Larry's letter, dirty yellow letter tomorrow.

143
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: Bringing bag of Larry's stuff in just in case.

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm keeping the put it works for me, Linda, Thank

145
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: you very much. Advice. Good morning, bye, Jamie, good morning,

146
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: good morning.

147
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: How are you?

148

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good, Jamie. Always under torture, Jamie, what advice

149
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: have you got for Jack? Also, have birds maybe out

150
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: of my roof every morning mating, mating like it used

151
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: to just half of two and they went to four

152
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: and they went to six every morning. It's a quick

153
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: old breeding program they're running up there. Well, they're doubling

154
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: each day. Birds don't just multiply.

155
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: That was just it was like a good order on

156
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: the roof every week.

157
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: And what do you do to get rid of them?

158
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: First of all of them with the hose and then

159
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,839

00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: jump on YouTube here if they've actually got microphones? Apparently?

192
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: Rats off? What's more terrifying than seeing a rat the

193
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,560

00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: We're talking about rats or birds or possums that may

196
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: or may not be living in Jack's roof, and we

197
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,760

00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: don't want to get too close to a rat like

204
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 2: a meter stick to give a little nudge right on

205
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 2: their ribs. Everyone's ticklish. They're even the king rats. Let's
