Speaker 4: day yesterday I had to win eye patch.
Speaker 5: Oh no, me arties like a pirate.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did look like a pirate.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now do you remember in December I went to New
Speaker 4: Zoom with my daughter he finished year twelve. We want
Speaker 4: our dad daughter trips to New Zeene and on the
Speaker 4: third day, in the beautiful Queenstown, we were out for
Speaker 4: a walk and had those you know, those metallic sort
Speaker 4: of public telescopes. Yes, you know, once you can have
Speaker 4: a look across the shoreline and beautiful mountains. But obviously
Speaker 4: when I was the keywis don't want us tours looking
Speaker 4: through those telescopes.
Speaker 2: I put my eye.
Speaker 4: I had a good old look around those beautiful shorelines
Speaker 4: and the mountains of arrow Town. And then a couple
Speaker 4: of days later I started to realize I had an
Speaker 4: eye infection.
Speaker 2: I picked up.
Speaker 4: This is December last year. It hasn't gone away, and
Speaker 4: we're in what September now. So three months ago I
Speaker 4: went to see this I specialist and she said, oh, look,
Speaker 4: hot compresses every day, and you can also go on
Speaker 4: these antibiotics.
Speaker 2: For a year.
Speaker 3: And I went, I never heard of a year.
Speaker 4: Wait, and then she goes, oh, don't google the side
Speaker 4: effects over as soon as you get out there, I'm
Speaker 4: googling a side effects and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I don't want any of this, even my teenage doorses go, wait.
Speaker 2: You can't go on that stuff.
Speaker 4: They give that to teenagers with Acnei's giving me I
Speaker 4: actn is at me in my eye my age. So
Speaker 4: I go back, going I've done the compresses, it's still there.
Speaker 4: That's still a problem. She goes, do you know what,
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to do a procedure on it.
Speaker 4: I can cut it.
Speaker 3: And lance it are you serious?
Speaker 2: No, that's just about so. I just went in for
Speaker 2: a check up.
Speaker 4: She goes, is there is there anyone outside in reception
Speaker 4: who can take you home?
Speaker 2: And I like, so if I say no? She went yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, how bad is it going to be
Speaker 2: when I leave here?
Speaker 4: I need physical assistance? Went, I'll deal with that in
Speaker 4: an hour's time. Ten minutes later, I'm upside down in
Speaker 4: some sort of dentist chair out the back of the
Speaker 4: eye clinic and she puts one of two needles into
Speaker 4: my eyes.
Speaker 5: Stop, don't your ibal.
Speaker 2: No, into the lower eyelid.
Speaker 4: Patsy wright to sort of a guess numby number, and
Speaker 4: then she goes, hell, listen, now I need to clamp
Speaker 4: the lower eyelid open. You know when you like, just
Speaker 4: don't tell me, just do what you need to do.
Speaker 4: I don't need the tental I went, okay, I'm gripping
Speaker 4: those armorus, going, I only came in.
Speaker 3: Some advice.
Speaker 4: Do I need to wring a friend and ask him
Speaker 4: or do leave a will or anything like that? No
Speaker 4: one knows I'm having this.
Speaker 3: Do you need a lawyer presence?
Speaker 4: And I had to sign these forms and I disclaimers.
Speaker 4: So anyway, then she goes, Okay, I just gonna put
Speaker 4: this clamp now to keep the lower lid open. I'm like, yeah, fine,
Speaker 4: I'm still upside down in the dentist chair. Then she
Speaker 4: she gets what I can only describe as a blunt
Speaker 4: knitting needle and comes towards my clamps I'm like, and
Speaker 4: starts mixing on it, like it to turn to on
Speaker 4: my I don't even know what she's doing, but she's
Speaker 4: going back and forth and going, oh, crushy, there's quite
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff here.
Speaker 2: This is God.
Speaker 4: This is gonna scar up from it, and you'll need
Speaker 4: to massage it to break it up. Or you can
Speaker 4: come back and see me and I can do that
Speaker 4: for you. So she inside the skin already at the Yeah,
Speaker 4: she's in the lower lower lid, and now I can't
Speaker 4: feel any think but this is horrible sensation. And the
Speaker 4: one thinking when this anesthetic is off, this is really
Speaker 4: gonna hurt. Every one of those mixes is like, I
Speaker 4: don't know a day's worth of recovery. Then I'm aware
Speaker 4: of my eye sort of of gauze is coming in
Speaker 4: and blood like lots of you know, like a paper
Speaker 4: cut gives it a lot of blood. But I guess
Speaker 4: that lower eyelid has got so much blood there, so
Speaker 4: there's a lot going on. Then she was like then
Speaker 4: she was like that's all done. Now it's an eye
Speaker 4: patch on. And then the old chair gets dumped up
Speaker 4: and she's like, you know, see how you get on?
Speaker 4: You go, here's a prescription, Go and get some ofilar.
Speaker 4: There's some at you want to I cream because I've
Speaker 4: never have either of you two ever only had one
Speaker 4: working eye. I know these poor people that have eye problems.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 4: I'm then walking out in the streets right like this.
Speaker 2: With this eye patch go.
Speaker 4: It turns out it's really hard to see with only
Speaker 4: one eye. And then I'm in an area I didn't
Speaker 4: really know in Hawthorne, and it's right on Glenn Frey Road,
Speaker 4: which is like fil I'm like some old man in
Speaker 4: all of those TV adverts about look out for the elderly.
Speaker 4: Then I'm like trying to get to the traffic lights
Speaker 4: to walk two k So this came his warehouse, and
Speaker 4: I was terrified going across even the traffic lights.
Speaker 2: It was like I was like stumping. It was a nightmare.
Speaker 4: And then I go home and you can't about any
Speaker 4: somebody from teenagers. My daughter gets them from school. She's like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, what's happened to you? And that's where
Speaker 4: the simple he ended. Five minutes ages, she comes to going, ow,
Speaker 4: my dog has just thrown up on my carpet.
Speaker 2: Can you come and clear it?
Speaker 4: I went, even if I had two working eyes, which
Speaker 4: are done right now, this is not my problem. This
Speaker 4: is your problem. So anyway, today the eye patches off,
Speaker 4: but she did warm it. It might start weeping during
Speaker 4: the day, so just let me know.

Speaker 4: about my eye this morning. Good morning Greg.
Speaker 8: Hey, young Christian here, young guys.
Speaker 4: Great, So Greg, you have to go and have something
Speaker 4: done to your eyes every three months, you poor man.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, I've got diabetes and what it is is
Speaker 8: the blood pressure builds up in the back of your eyes.
Speaker 8: So every three months I get and have two needles
Speaker 8: in each eye, one to dead in the eye before
Speaker 8: they stick the actual needle in, and then the other
Speaker 8: one goes into part of the eye were we can
Speaker 8: actually see the fluid. Once he's done, and you can
Speaker 8: see it, it looks like a parasite swimming around in
Speaker 8: your eye?
Speaker 4: Oh my, sir, you know when you put the fuel
Speaker 4: pump in and you can leave it sometimes, can't you
Speaker 4: feel like he got one of those in your eyes
Speaker 4: chopping up your blood or something.
Speaker 3: So how much juice does he get out of it?
Speaker 2: Are they draining your eye?
Speaker 8: No? No, no, no, it's stopped the pressure fluid builder And
Speaker 8: if I don't get it, I can go blind permanently.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what a worry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yesterday, before she did the procedure, she did some
Speaker 4: got some little blowy machine into my eyes to measure
Speaker 4: the eye pressure.
Speaker 2: I guess that's for glycoma, is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I get that done. They do that before to
Speaker 8: check the sea whether it is the pressure of the eye,
Speaker 8: and then if it's too high, that's when I get
Speaker 8: the injections. So yeah, he deadens the eyes, sticks one into.
Speaker 2: The eye the dead in the eye with a needle.
Speaker 2: Can they do something before that?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 8: I get drops to dead and that before they put
Speaker 8: the drop the needle in.
Speaker 2: God, Greg, you're a brave man.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh well I don't do it. I got blind.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well look after this out, Greg, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: A cool This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 4: When we go to cinema, cinema's now never been more
Speaker 4: a comfortable experience, all right. The seats are unbelievable. Someone
Speaker 4: if you want to pay more, will recline and people
Speaker 4: bring food to you. The screens are huge, They're massive.
Speaker 4: The one thing though, that they still haven't now is
Speaker 4: when you go to the cinema and you sit down,
Speaker 4: is the arm rest, which one do you think is yours?
Speaker 4: Is the one on the left, the right, or you
Speaker 4: don't know. It becomes this battle or sometimes you have
Speaker 4: these arm elbow wars with the person next to you.
Speaker 4: Can you believe I was trying to think we can
Speaker 4: share that divided land. I'll take front, you take back,
Speaker 4: But then you get people that sprawled across the whole thing,
Speaker 4: you know, where their like bucket of popcorn, so there's
Speaker 4: no room. They just like occupy their share what should
Speaker 4: be shared territory.
Speaker 3: Well, it's no good going at the front because then
Speaker 3: you're hunched over it and you're perched like a like
Speaker 3: a bird on the end of the chair. Back is
Speaker 3: definitely the best. I actually think it's first in best dressed.
Speaker 3: So if you're first in the chair you get.
Speaker 4: So like on holiday you put your towel down on
Speaker 4: the banana bunce.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Patsy, what do you think I'm right? Or
Speaker 2: don't know?
Speaker 5: No, I'm with jack I'm trying to think what I
Speaker 5: do when I go. We're usually they're early, and I
Speaker 5: agree first, there gets first dips.
Speaker 3: So will you take both armrest?
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh no, those people are the worst. What do
Speaker 2: you think both for?
Speaker 5: Just to like Jackson stretch absolutely to say there's.
Speaker 2: An elderly lady right who fought in the war and
Speaker 2: don't stop that nasty man.
Speaker 4: There's monsters, tiny little bird like.
Speaker 3: Gun clost to my body. They should be spreading.
Speaker 2: So what do you do?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 5: We should be sitting up the back in you know
Speaker 5: usually in like a scooter little bay, wouldn't she?
Speaker 2: Or a hardline like a fundamental This is my territory?
Speaker 2: Where land?
Speaker 5: Where do you The other thing too with cinemas is
Speaker 5: where do you like to sit? We're like front, not
Speaker 5: front and center, but the front right front.
Speaker 2: They're always the only available seats.
Speaker 4: Aren't they that were right in the middle of the
Speaker 4: front where you're thinking, No way, like a karma cant
Speaker 4: looking under a car thinking I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to go and see guya practice mode. The average
Speaker 2: run time? Why is the average runs on a movie? Now?
Speaker 4: Eighty seven hours? Just do nineteen minutes? Should be the
Speaker 4: law for a movie. Now, chop it down, Nolan, come
Speaker 4: on three hours? So you near the front, Pantsy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sort of in the middle, as close to the
Speaker 5: middle as I can get when I book.
Speaker 2: Don't I've been too because I feel trapped in that.
Speaker 3: I worked in the cinema for two years sitting people
Speaker 3: on that little display where you get we see the
Speaker 3: whole cinema, and no one ever picked the front.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I sit there.
Speaker 2: Would you like to be, Jackie boy? No, I like
Speaker 2: to be at the back, Yeah, right at the book
Speaker 2: chuck and stuff popcorn at the old people's heads, like Pantsy,
Speaker 2: get there early. There is when going to see it.
Speaker 2: There's always old people there early, aren't they.
Speaker 3: Go to a session during the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, there's always an oldly couple. They're too early.
Speaker 4: All right, give us a call. Then, when you go
Speaker 4: to the cinema, which arm rest do you think is yours?
Speaker 4: The left, the right or you don't know? You're listening
Speaker 4: to the question you know Kyle's show podcast, Patsy, How.
Speaker 2: Is it Your already her little business going.
Speaker 5: She has got a little jewelry business I've talked about before.
Speaker 5: We went to Spotlight at the weekend and she needed
Speaker 5: new supplies.
Speaker 2: So what she.
Speaker 5: Does she does on staff yet or yeah, she needs to.
Speaker 2: She's got a little sweatshot.
Speaker 5: She does bracelets and rings, earrings, necklaces, even charms for phones,
Speaker 5: and it's stepped up a gear jack. What she did
Speaker 5: last night. She's made her very own stock catalog.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I thought.
Speaker 5: She was doing homework. No, she's she's building this business.
Speaker 3: So she's taken photos of her jewelry.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So she's got a little Instamax camera with the little
Speaker 5: tiny polaroid pictures and she's taken pictures of her wearing it.
Speaker 2: A documentary in years to come.
Speaker 5: And she's pasted it into this book and she's named everything.
Speaker 5: She's called something say, for example, Harmony bracelet, and she's
Speaker 5: put a price on it. So I think what's happening
Speaker 5: is that's going to school and the kids will flick
Speaker 5: through it and if they want to.
Speaker 4: A physical copy of Like Etsy, this is incredible entrepreneurial skills,
Speaker 4: so she's she's not putting off a whole lot of
Speaker 4: them so that you hand them out, you've got to
Speaker 4: look at the catalog.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but she's.
Speaker 4: Under happening later on this week on that photo copy
Speaker 4: that we've got a big photocopy of the only person
Speaker 4: I was see using it is Petrina Jones for her
Speaker 4: daughter's homework. And now I know it's probably not homework.
Speaker 4: It's mail order business using the old company Frankie machine
Speaker 4: that posting sending out all these customers.
Speaker 5: Charm, I'll have an office set up in there with
Speaker 5: staff working for me.
Speaker 4: You can you just do a quick live read here,
Speaker 4: Christian har many bracelets this week.
Speaker 2: The show is monstered by all these bracests are wearabet.
Speaker 5: But she's under underpricing herself, and Chris kind of tried
Speaker 5: to point out to her, like everything's fifty cents and of.
Speaker 2: Course really didn't cover the costs. And that's what we're
Speaker 2: trying to do, Chris. She's taking her extra jobs to Pete.
Speaker 2: She's a lesson in business.
Speaker 3: How much do you reckon near the raw materials cost?
Speaker 5: Oh jee, what did we get at the weekend? We
Speaker 5: just got string and some bathes and it was about
Speaker 5: fourteen bucks, but she could probably I reckon she should
Speaker 5: put like a flask, yeah, two dollars, two dollars, fifty
Speaker 5: three bucks, but she's put fifty cents, and we're trying
Speaker 5: to get across to her, you know, profit.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's been doing some face salesaw.
Speaker 4: Back Friday, then coming up this Friday during the weekend
Speaker 4: the playground.
Speaker 5: All stock must go. But she goes.
Speaker 2: Spoken during the lunch break, she said to.
Speaker 5: Us, but mama won't sell any and I said, yeah,
Speaker 5: but that's kind of not not the point. And we thought,
Speaker 5: you know what, we'll just leave it. It's her little
Speaker 5: if that's what she wants to do.
Speaker 4: They have that stopped to Lulu Lemmon charging well where
Speaker 4: I could go to somewhere else and get some leggings.
Speaker 4: But because they've got that brand on, I'll give you
Speaker 4: another fifty bill dollars, why not?
Speaker 5: So orders will be taken this morning after the show.
Speaker 3: I love this entrepreneur.
Speaker 2: You're skilled.
Speaker 4: Did any of us have that that age? Did you
Speaker 4: have any sort of schemes? We thought, I'll make money here.
Speaker 3: I tried to make your own trading cards where I
Speaker 3: drew the looney Tunes in like copying them out of
Speaker 3: a book, drew them with my own hands.
Speaker 2: But you're a talented artist. They would have looked.
Speaker 3: I was eight years old, so this like I have
Speaker 3: like a stick for the young orger. And I remember
Speaker 3: setting up a trestle table out the front of my driveway,
Speaker 3: which wasn't a high traffic area, and settling no trading
Speaker 3: cards to pass by.
Speaker 2: Patsy, did you want to do anything like that, young entrepreneur?
Speaker 5: No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: All right, if you.

Speaker 6: we'd knock on the door.
Speaker 2: I mean very good.
Speaker 4: You're creating artificial demand, which is marketing and effect. It's
Speaker 4: high level scales and imagine a very lucrative business.
Speaker 6: It was pretty successful. Yeah, it did work well for us.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what we moved on to the next,
Speaker 6: but it was definitely one of the most successful ones.
Speaker 3: Smart because then you could sweep, sweep up the turn
Speaker 3: into a bucket, then throw on the next drive down
Speaker 3: the street.

Speaker 16: years and throughout high school, was selling his Schnitzel sandwiches
Speaker 16: that he would make me make for him every morning.
Speaker 13: And it got to the stage where I think he
Speaker 13: was doing two Schnitzel sandwiches. And I didn't find out
Speaker 13: till years later at one Christmas dinner when all of
Speaker 13: a sudden confessions were coming out and he said, Mom,
Speaker 13: do you know I used to sell people would wait
Speaker 13: for what your schnitzel sandwiches?
Speaker 2: THO I love this atol.

Speaker 2: Growing that now. In fourteen five of them, he.
Speaker 13: Was a really fuscinater, so he would only have Vichmite sandwiches,

Speaker 4: entrepreneur at school? Maybe this is your kids now? Do
Speaker 4: you two ever think like constantly, you're trying to. I'm
Speaker 4: always part of me is thinking, I'm hoping that I
Speaker 4: come up with that simple side hust idea that could
Speaker 4: become the next big.
Speaker 3: Thing, million dollar idea.
Speaker 4: Do you ever think where you're like, oh, that has
Speaker 4: that been invented? Yet you google it and go, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's been going for a thousand years. Yeah, the Romans
Speaker 4: used to do it.
Speaker 2: They had an app for that.
Speaker 3: Apparently everybody in their life has on average one million
Speaker 3: dollar idea, but most people just don't execute on it.
Speaker 4: I was still looking for it, guys, still looking for it,
Speaker 4: all right. So were you a young entrepreneur? Julie, Good morning.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 6: How are you.

Speaker 2: a young entrepreneur?
Speaker 17: No, my son was.
Speaker 7: He was in high school and he made so much money.
Speaker 7: I could tell you he should be a millionaire by now.
Speaker 7: But yeah, he was in about year nine or ten,
Speaker 7: and he was so little that he did Taekwondos who
Speaker 7: was quick and fast, and the young older guys used
Speaker 7: to go to the canteen and the lines.
Speaker 15: Would be really, really long.
Speaker 7: So Jaden would go there and they would pay him
Speaker 7: five dollars to sneak under the kid's legs or you know,
Speaker 7: maneuver his way to the front of the line and
Speaker 7: buy their mittal rolls, and then they'd pay him five.
Speaker 13: Dollars to do it.
Speaker 7: So he used to come home with like fifty dollars
Speaker 7: a day.
Speaker 13: And then the time he used to make.
Speaker 7: Me go to Costcos and buy the twelve pack of
Speaker 7: muffins and then he would make me wrap them up
Speaker 7: and then he'd sell them to the kids for five
Speaker 7: dollars fifty each.
Speaker 4: What he was busy during that lunch break. Won't we
Speaker 4: use silky to do the splits?
Speaker 3: I imagine like that scene from Entrapment where down through
Speaker 3: the last kid's legs.

Speaker 4: I hope I'm speaking for everyone who's also listening right now.
Speaker 4: To hearing these people come on and talk about isn't
Speaker 4: so much what they do. It's the joy they have
Speaker 4: at doing.
Speaker 3: It's the passion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the passion. It's what brings us alive.
Speaker 4: When you're on your way to work or and you
Speaker 4: all have a hun day Wednesdays sometimes and then, but
Speaker 4: they're still like this little light inside of you that's
Speaker 4: always there, that is never fully goes out no matter
Speaker 4: how you feelm what's going on in your other life
Speaker 4: is is that you still know why you do it
Speaker 4: and what it gives you as well. And it's reading
Speaker 4: all the emails that are coming in which I'll get
Speaker 4: to tomorrow. These are people just been asked, do you
Speaker 4: love your job? I think it's also it's that they
Speaker 4: feel part of something that's more than themselves. You listen
Speaker 4: to Claire talk about why she goes to and those
Speaker 4: old people there and the joint straight away when we
Speaker 4: said here, have one thousand dollars right now, and she goes,
Speaker 4: I'll give it to them, those over nineteen year olds
Speaker 4: who she's hosted a lunch for today. She's part of
Speaker 4: something which is more than herself. I think we lack
Speaker 4: that in today's world. There's all this sort of individualism.
Speaker 4: I think hearing all the stories yesterday and today, that's
Speaker 4: what it is, is that actually we want to part
Speaker 4: of something that's more than ourselves. That's what makes us
Speaker 4: feel happier in whatever work we do. Neil's on the line.

Speaker 19: it's at school who go out on their overnight camps,
Speaker 19: through to adults learning their basic first aid where we
Speaker 19: sort of teach the full gamut.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how most of us have got no idea
Speaker 2: of any basic first aid. But I won't have a
Speaker 2: clue too. I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Now, you could be anywhere in a barble at a
Speaker 4: cafe and suddenly someone drops the floor and you want
Speaker 4: to be able to do something immediately. Now, what's the

Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: All the amazing messages coming from the awesome Tracy, who
Speaker 4: we spoke to about ten minutes on the show. Tim,
Speaker 4: I think sort of summing up how a lot of
Speaker 4: us feel. Oh God, Tracy just broke me. Tim, Let
Speaker 4: her break you in the right way though, back open
Speaker 4: to the joy and wonder that is right in front
Speaker 4: of her eyes every single day. But we get caught
Speaker 4: up in making our lives too small. Yesterday on the
Speaker 4: show we had a great call from Kirsty and I
Speaker 4: think there's more stories about when you were left in charge.
Speaker 11: I was sixteen. My parents they went on a care
Speaker 11: They left me alone on a forty acre farm. We
Speaker 11: had thirty cows, and I went to.
Speaker 17: School in the morning and I came back and there
Speaker 17: was police tape all over the front gate.
Speaker 16: All the cows had gotten out onto the Jukiet Plaine.
Speaker 4: Highway, So I mean you can put it all together.
Speaker 4: There's that age, a farm, the cows, and also people
Speaker 4: that age. With all that, you don't care about anything.
Speaker 3: It's a problem.
Speaker 4: Your eyes go about six inches if that far. That's
Speaker 4: your world, isn't it When you're a teenager. The rest
Speaker 4: of it is just like it blurs. There's nothing else there,
Speaker 4: so it curves. It's a short curve around you. I
Speaker 4: remember when I was seventeen, so again that kind of age,
Speaker 4: and my parents went away for a week and it
Speaker 4: was just me.
Speaker 2: My sister had moved out by them, so it's just
Speaker 2: me in charge.
Speaker 4: And of course, if you're seventeen, left in charge, however,
Speaker 4: your mates around every night, right beers and Friday and
Speaker 4: CNAT after the pub come round to my I remember
Speaker 4: I spent the whole day Sunday cleaning the whole place,
Speaker 4: so it's like the perfect crime scene. There was like
Speaker 4: deck sort of cleaned that place. You'd have no idea
Speaker 4: that we'd had a wild week there while they're a
Speaker 4: way during the summer. Once when I was seventeen, and
Speaker 4: I remember my parents came back and they're like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, you've done a great job, Chris, and I
Speaker 4: remember about four hours later, my mum called me a side.
Speaker 2: Do you know you remember when your hair can stand?
Speaker 3: You know, you can just tell the tone of voice.
Speaker 2: And I'm like chop down menu, trying to replay some
Speaker 2: of it's hazy. I had other people, some of them.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know, and think nothing got broken, there's
Speaker 4: no one here, And then she goes, you did a
Speaker 4: great job. Apart from this, hands me a contraceptive that
Speaker 4: someone had left one of my friends use their bed.
Speaker 3: Nod, Yeah, sure it wasn't yours, dad.
Speaker 2: So what happened when you were left in charge?
