1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: My daughter is eighteen this Sunday. Right.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 3: We've actually had a big argument yesterday. My wife and

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 3: I were her because she's eighteen on Sunday. She's like

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 3: when I'm an adult, and technically she is, even though

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 3: she is also a child. You know, do you remember

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 3: being eighteen? I thought I was a grown up. You

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: look back now, you were just you were just a

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: child who's eighteen.

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 4: Especially turning eighteen on a weekend, people would wait to

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 4: this stroke of midnight so they could get into bars.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. So she's been doing this big thing.

13
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: I'm an adult, and so she's booked in to get

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 3: a tattoo next.

15
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: Week already I did not know.

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: Suddenly she came out to me and said, hey, you

17
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: know you I was doing how I wanted to get

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: a tattoo.

19
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh god, I thought that was

20
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: just a conversation.

21
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: I went, yeah, she goes, I've booked in next week,

22
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: and I went, oh god, I said that does mum

23
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: now about this?

24
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: Now?

25
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to tell you both, now

26
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: you where will the tattoo be? How big will it be?

27
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: And then you've got tattoo. I've got tattoo, right, but

28
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: we're sort of further down our life.

29
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 4: No, I got mine when I was nineteen and I

30
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: was hoping to have some you know, on a whim,

31
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: as did you? Yeah, maybe I can usual story. Do

32
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 4: you regret it? I do?

33
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Yes, Finally you can come in useful, Oh Jack, this

34
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: is what I need.

35
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: Send me around O case study.

36
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: Oh yes, because I keep tranxplaining to me, like, look, okay,

37
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: I understand you want to get to too, you are,

38
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: you're eighteen, it's up to you now. They're your choices,

39
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: aboly your mistakes. But how you feel now at eighteen?

40
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: You are not going to fill like this at twenty

41
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: one or even a year's time. Do you remember what

42
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: you thought about life at eighteen?

43
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: Because you know next to nothing.

44
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 4: That's why the tattoo I got, which is two birds

45
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: on my little back, No.

46
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: That is actually worse than a trap stamp. It is

47
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: it is.

48
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: It has absolutely no meaning. And that's the number one

49
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: question people asked when you have a tattoo. It's like

50
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: what does it mean? And all I did was I

51
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: was nineteen. I picked it out of a book.

52
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: Quite big isn't it goes right across.

53
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: Your back's Messa, you take it home today and she won't.

54
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: If you want to get something, okay, it needs to

55
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: really mean something, but small and where you can cover

56
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: it up. Because I said, you know you're going to

57
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: choose a line of work hoping that means something to you.

58
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: People might make a view judgment on that. And if

59
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: you're later on the war, it doesn't matter. You're into

60
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: who you are and what you are, but at eighteen

61
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: you don't want to be shutting down.

62
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Doors too early. Anyway.

63
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: Then I saw the size of the thing I was,

64
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: and it's at the moment, it's like four inches, and

65
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: I went, it needs to be smaller. It needs to

66
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: be maybe four centimeters or three centimeters. Please, I guarantee

67
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: because I tell you what happened is in about five

68
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: years time. You go, why don't you try to stop me?

69
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Why didn't you try and stop me?

70
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: He said, you're an adult. You same guy. It made

71
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: a cat?

72
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: That cat an't it's going to be the one giving

73
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: me life advice? Is very hard?

74
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: Good luck to her?

75
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Right?

76
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: Is there anyone else who got a tattoo when they

77
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: were younger? Maybe a teenager who actual regrets it. I

78
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: need more case studies like.

79
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: Jackson the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

80
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: So my eldest daughter hits eighteen this Sunday. Really exciting, right,

81
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 3: everyone else is at fever pitch this week.

82
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

83
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: And what's not so amazing Yesterday the conversation when she said,

84
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: technically I'm going to be an adult. Your mum need

85
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: to understand this. Now I'm thinking this is going somewhere.

86
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: So I've booked in to get a tattoo. Oh God,

87
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: prove and so put it somewhere where you can cover

88
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: it so that when you're going out into the big

89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: wild world and trying to have job interviews and you're

90
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: still new in the world, people aren't making.

91
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: Judgments about you.

92
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: And so she wants to get this tattoo, which if

93
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: she wants to get a tattooed and it means them

94
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: to her, I'm okay with. But it's just got to

95
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: be small and discreet. And this I'm going to get

96
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: loads more. And I said maybe maybe I don't know,

97
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: but Telly House doesn't know. You don't know either, because

98
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: remember when you were eighteen, those thoughts you have. Everything

99
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: is you think you know everything, you're so one hundred

100
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: percent on everything, there's no uncertainty, or maybe you're just

101
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this. This is not going to

102
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: be in the world. This other world's going to be

103
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: around me. And you changed only my twenty twenty five thirty.

104
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: You've got tattoo. Those tattoos you regret.

105
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: That I got them when I was nineteen, and the

106
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: reason that I got them on such a whim and

107
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: they don't mean anything too much.

108
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: Where were you were you in Balley?

109
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: I was in Thailand, Class C.

110
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Hello, Ozzie's travel real.

111
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: Well, this is the other thing I didn't know at

112
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: the time. When you get a tattoo, you meant to

113
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: keep it out of the sun, ye you like hovery week?

114
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: Yes?

115
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: I got on the second day of being entitled. You

116
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: know the next day I was going out to the

117
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 4: beach and islands and stuff, so I wasn't allowed to

118
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: keep it in this allowed to be in the sun.

119
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: I thought I was going to get heaps of tattoos

120
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: at that age, so I thought it won't really matter

121
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: that this doesn't mean anything to me, and then I

122
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 4: stopped after one. And now the question I get whenever

123
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: I'm at the pool or at the beach. Is what

124
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: do theyse mean to you? And I have nothing to

125
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: say about it?

126
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? And that's not you, is it? That's not me?

127
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: Two birds on my back is not me. That doesn't

128
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: mean anything to me.

129
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Caitlyn our producer, a brilliant, really smart producer. That's awesome.

130
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: She just thought of said she was going to get

131
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: one with the word serendipity down the side of her

132
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: ankle because it was her favorite word writing. And these

133
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: are the thoughts that we have at nineteen, don't.

134
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: She luckily dodged a boat though somehow was so smart

135
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: at eighteen not to do that.

136
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: It was almost serendiprodution. You should get that tattoo now,

137
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: all right, let's say schools. Mikayla, good morning.

138
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: Good morning guys.

139
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: How are you.

140
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: I'm good, Makayla. So did you get a tattoo when

141
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: you were younger? Mate?

142
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm now twenty five, but I was a couple

143
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: of years ago. I was twenty one at the time.

144
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: I was annually from work and I went and well,

145
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: I'll get a tattoo. I now have a little coffee

146
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 5: cup on my wrist that my family dissed me for

147
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: and now I was like, oh yeah, I love it.

148
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: I love it and I hate it.

149
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Now can I ask why did you get the coffee cup?

150
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Does this love coffee?

151
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

152
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh god?

153
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 5: I drink it every morning. My partner can't deal with me.

154
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: That's great, that's fine, but that's great. Don't need to

155
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: put it for me on the body of people love coffee.

156
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: It's not like to do this, is it?

157
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: I must given these? Yeah?

158
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: No, my family didn't.

159
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: It doesn't let me live it down. And if they

160
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: heard these, they would never.

161
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Let me down.

162
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: How big is the coffee cup? A couple of c.

163
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say you've had a couple a couple

164
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: of centimeters, about five to six centimeters.

165

Speaker 2: Helloo is it?

168
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: And Lewis, tell us about your tattoo. Wow, I got

169
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: the thing.

170
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: You're good.

171
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 5: In the nineties, when I was six stone, I've got

172
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 5: a tribal, aren't there?

173
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Oh?

174
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: Are you in the red hot chili peppers?

175
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: I wish? Yeah, it was pretty disappointing to me, mum.

176
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 4: When I was sixteen, I thought I thought.

177
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: I was a man.

178
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I just started a trade as a cabinet maker and

179
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: really regret it now to be honest.

180
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: And how old are you now, Lewis. You don't sound

181
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: that old.

182
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Now, I'm forty one.

183
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: And how is it aged? That tribal band?

184
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: It's not too bad.

185
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 5: It's still I cover app most topic.

186
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: At the time. Yeah, I'd like to get an but

187
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: I just can't just apply playing someone two hundred blacks

188
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and now to go over. I'd rather buy some campin

189
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: fishing gear.

190
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: Really, I love that the choices in life, and it

191
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: comes down to choices.

192
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: I can get this tribal band and looking good, I

193
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: get some camping gear for Maniconda.

194
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: You just wear a long t shirt in your laugh.

195
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: What you want to do is maybe to see if

196
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: they could turn the tattoo into some camping gear. Because no,

197
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: it's thank you very much, have a good day. Nice sweat, uh, Julia,

198
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: good morning. She regards this tattoo so much she doesn't

199
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: want to talk about it.

200
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Well, christ youan know Connell's show podcast.

201
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: Come on in, Julia, Christian, I'm in a Russian the moment,

202
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: can't call him. I don't have the excuse of being eighteen,

203
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: but I got a regrettable tattoo in my early twenties

204
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 3: now my late thirties, paying the price for it, getting

205
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: it later off. The process has taken over a year.

206
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: It's not like on the TV shows, and it has

207
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: cost a thousand times more than the original ink. And

208
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: it actually really hurts Happy to send pictures as a

209
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: warning to Ruby, please do jewels. And I would say

210
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: to your daughter, Ruby, think long and hard before you ink.

211
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: Melly works on the show she's got these amazing tattoos.

212
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: But she said a thing that she did before she

213
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: got one is she got like the image that she

214
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: wanted to have tattooed, and she put it on the

215
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: wall so she could see it every day for a year.

216
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 3: And if she's still in a year's time, felt the

217
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: same about it. This has a real meaning to me.

218
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: I'll go and get it done.

219
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 4: That, though, is the thought process of an adult who's.

220
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: Got a fully grown brain.

221
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: But what I might suggest, though, is actually saying, okay, right,

222
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: I'll come with you, get it done. Book it for

223
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: say four weeks time, do what Mal did, look at

224
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: it on you all every day, and then in four

225
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: weeks time you still want to get it done.

226
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: We get it booked in. Move it back four weeks,

227
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: go and get it done. That's a good idea, just

228
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: four weeks.

229
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: But didn't she already book it in? Wasn't she telling

230
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: you that it's already booked.

231
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: It's hard, you're raising.

232
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: They get more powerful than you. They're overwhelming. They're just overwhelming.

233
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: It's just relentless.
