So but we still got Matt 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.760 and the boys out to check the gas levels. Well, 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.040 they had to get their invoice in, didn't they. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.000 But no, with gas really turned on them quickly with 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.400 canute to go in this break. You love them. They 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.680 do a great business now because they're charging you for it. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.000 They have to make a living. 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.040 Well, you can't be too dicey with gas. You've got 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.000 to be sure. So they had to test it anyway. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.720 It all looked good, so that's good. But I just 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.760 did not stop hearing about it from Chris. So around 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.440 dinner time, I said, well, gee, I've done three loads 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.800 of washing today. I've organized ballet for Audrey on Saturday 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:41.040 because she needs a ride there. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.600 This is literally every conversation. Of course, Yeah, I've done 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.760 maybe one percent of the total universe of what needs 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.520 to be done, but it will be talked about for 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.480 eighty percent. How guts that heating we're enjoying at the moment, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.800 that's thanks to me. Cool welcome families. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.560 I fixed the gas, but just would not let I 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.200 let him go for a couple of hours, and then 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.560 I said, look, no, that's it, that's it. That's all 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.640 the glory you get. You fixed it, well done. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.640 Do you know why we make such a big doubt 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.160 this because more often not day to day, it's constantly 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.960 just a stream of errors or half completed tasks or 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.040 things forgot about. So when the rare sweet spot happens, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.200 the balls and that is once a year for us 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.320 little men, it's a very very big deal. It's like 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.040 gold medal. You know, you're on the rostrum and you're 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:32.039 waving to the nation around the glow. Give us the 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.719 victory that please, It'll be a. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.040 Long time before he's doing it again. 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.039 The Christian No Connall Show podcast. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.280 So Yesterin on the show, Chad was talking about a 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.679 blocked toilet, and because you've got a little baby that's 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.080 sixteen seventeen months old, I just presume that that must 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.800 be the culprit behind the block toilet. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.120 We still don't know what's blocked in there, but the 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.119 water is still up to the brim. We have another 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.720 toilet by the way, so we are still using at 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:56.679 And did. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.520 Wonder what we were here saving it or keeping it 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.680 all bun up, but until he got to work and 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.720 then his kick and open a door and go oh 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:07.279 for another twenty four hours. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.119 But the one in the laundry is actually with clean 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.120 water up to the brim, and you know, drop more 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.760 water will send it over the edge.

And she she goes, oh, yeah, 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.200 I think I've it's over there somewhere, and then pointed 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:21.839 to the box, which I know she keeps a whole 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.360 lot of collections of memories that she wants to keep 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:24.840 for later. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.160 Okay, Patsy, where are you on this? 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:29.680 Yeah? 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:30.520 I don't know how I feel. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:31.520 Did you keep the letter? 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.240 No, I wouldn't. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.840 I think you would. I think you would. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:34.400 I wouldn't. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.559 Why wouldn't you keep it? 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.840 Because it's no, it feels almost like it's impeaching on 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:41.800 my relationship. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.000 No, I wouldn't peachment. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.480 I don't. I don't feel impeached. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.280 Maybe some people like to feel impeached. Maybe that's a 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.320 whole genre of people that like they're peachy people we've had. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.480 We had a couple of emails about this yesterday. Hi, Christian, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.520 I was listening to the show yesterday I remembered the no 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.920 I received from anonymous Admira about fifteen years ago, now 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.920 yesterday when you talk about it chat. The admirer had 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.199 dated this note to your wife. Yes, okay, and this guy, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.320 by the way, didn't know your wife was married, because no, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.839 she doesn't wear a ring, but he had dated it. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.600 And I thought, this is this is creep behavior because 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.600 he's laying down like tracks here that in his mind 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.160 in this fantasist. Mind he's later on recounting the story. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.719 And we still have the note. And remember when I 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.679 dated it as well, because this might be significant, Christian 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.360 soulds listen to you. And I received a note from 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.600 anonymous amyra at fifteen years ago. I not ites fifteen 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.640 years ago because it's also dated top right. I'm a 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:35.880 I don't know always put this we're put in bold 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.560 on his email. It's put I am a male. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.640 Lovely to know what we were speculating there was heard. Yes, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.600 we didn't think as many males would get secret and ma. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.520 And and that's why he's kind that bit in bold. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.559 I thought he's thought he signals to me? Does he 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:49.640 is he sending me a note? 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:49.800 Now? 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:50.679 In fact, this isn't note. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.400 He's dated it as well with this email address. What's 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.720 going on here? I'm a male? The Amira was a 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.800 female like the GP clinic who slipped me this on 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:04.960 her way out dated six of the eleventh eight. This 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.240 guy's obviously kept these. It's on memory spot, oh eight 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.400 two thousand and eight, quite a few years back, sir 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.600 high babe. Soon as I saw you walk through the door, 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.000 I couldn't stop looking at you you have such an 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.640 amazing and mesmerizing beauty. I wanted to mention that if 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:24.360 you haven't considered in regards to becoming a model, the 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.200 model is block capitals. You should really consider it, babe. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.000 You can make a lot of women happy, and you 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.440 could also make some money. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.040 That's really creepy. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.240 That's too fair, because that's about the physical form. That's 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.000 going into too much detail of making women happy. And 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.760 then there's this one here. Back in twenty seventeen, I 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.920 was a mechanic. We had one customer that was constantly 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.120 bringing her piece of crap in. Every time we're laying 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.920 down the story here, aren't we your origin story? Every 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.920 time we fix something, something else would give out, from 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.040 oil leagues to electrical to well bearings the visit. It 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.120 became increasingly frequent leading up to the end of that year. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.920 One day I got a phone call, came to the 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.800 mechanic workshop and was asked for me by name. I 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.240 go over the phone and there's woman's on the phone. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.400 She gys my name is and I'm a good friend 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.520 of and it was his customer. Immediately asked what's wrong 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.200 with her car? Now? She said nothing, but she doesn't 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.840 stop talking about you. I'm calling up to Hopelly get 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.960 get your number so you two can hook up and 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.960 have some fun. Imagine it's a lord broad day night. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.360 Does this stuff go on? I thought this was only 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.280 in like sitcoms or movies. I informed her that I 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.120 was actually married. This was two days before my wedding anniversary. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.680 But I was told by the friend that if I 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.920 changed my mind, her friend could keeper a secret. How 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.240 many people have brought into that and turns out spoiler, look, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:50.160 they couldn't keep a secret. It really has that ever 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.000 worked out? I think it's human nature. I shut that 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.360 down to We never saw that customer ever? Again, didn't 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.680 she took this piece of crack to another I've found 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.320 another guy who wasn't so strong. For a little bit 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.720 of context, I never wore my wedding ring will it 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.600 were because my first boss as mechanic told me that 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.600 his old boss once fused his wedding ring right to 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.600 the bone of his finger by shortening across the electrical 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.680 system of a car, so instantly what melted and then 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.720 just became part of his hand. Wow, James, what't end 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.800 your email? Vers? All right? As always, we love getting 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.000 your emails Christian at Christian O'Connell dot com dot au. 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.520 This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.680 Last year with my daughter Ruby, my eldest daughter. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.640 She was in year twelve and I was aware that 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.560 time was changing and shifting. So I want to do 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.920 something where we could still hang out together, but it 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.880 be regular. So she started this pottery course and every day, 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:48.800 once a week i'd pick her up in the evening 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.440 and she was just so relaxed and so happy. I said, 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.200 God has really given you so much. I'd love to 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.640 do some of that, which is something completely different. Right, 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:57.720 She said, well, this term's coming to an end. Why 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.760 didn't you join me next time? You know when someone's 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.040 give invitation. Oh, I don't do that because I don't 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.320 know how to do it. I look foolish, but I thought, actually, 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.160 time is going very quickly, I'll enroll. So last year 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.640 I did three terms of pottery. I was terrible at it, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.640 but I loved it. This year, I was thinking the 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.440 countries to go. I really miss doing something completely out 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.760 of my comfort zone, which has got nothing to do 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.120 with work or what I do for a living. Anyway, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.760 fast forward yesterday I enrolled on a ten week Beginner's 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.480 Guide to would work that I start in January, and 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.680 I am so excited you've done this because you can 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.080 make something with your hands right. The pottery thing was 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.680 a new experience for me because a lot of what 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.840 I do up ideas and writing and stuff like that 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.600 comes from the head, so I'm kind of disconnected to 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.640 what it's like to do something physically. Pottery I found 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.080 really hard at times because I would get back in 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.640 my head. I wasn't connected to actually doing something physically. 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.080 It was it was a kind of new and way 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.560 of being like a conversation I didn't quite. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.160 Have all the works for, and something that takes your 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.000 complete focus, especially when you're learning something new like pottery 0:16:59.000 --> 0:16:59.840 woodworking fast. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.920 She really like, I guess what mindfulness is where you 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.600 just have this singular concentration. 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.840 I thought I might have that with golf because I'm 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:09.520 learning how to play golf at the moment. But it's 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.000
