Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells Show podcast. But you,
Speaker 2: Siria has a question that he's actually framed us. He
Speaker 2: believes he's in the right.
Speaker 3: Yes, I want you, guys, to settle an argument, and
Speaker 3: by that I mean I want you to agree with me.
Speaker 1: But I'll give you I'll give you the facts.
Speaker 2: Yep. This feels like every conversation with my wife. I'm
Speaker 2: interested in your opinion as long as this agrees with me.
Speaker 4: There's only one right end.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly exactly, So last Sunday, not the Sunday just passed.
Speaker 3: Sunday before that, my mate Jacob sends a text to
Speaker 3: the group chat guys, it's my birthday coming up, So
Speaker 3: next Saturday, let's go for beers. Great, no worries. Pop
Speaker 3: it in my calendar. This Saturday rolls around as in
Speaker 3: like two days ago. I'm sitting at home, I'm watching
Speaker 3: the games. Phone starts blowing up. Oh with Rio, no
Speaker 3: show Jacob's birthday. I go back to the text. He
Speaker 3: said next Saturday. To me, that means not this Saturday
Speaker 3: coming up, the next Saturday.
Speaker 4: No, you're wrong, I agree. I always use next Saturday
Speaker 4: as one Saturday in.
Speaker 2: Between you're adding more words, So it's not next Saturday.
Speaker 3: You know, otherwise that's this that's Saturday, that's just Saturday.
Speaker 3: That's just the normal Saturday.
Speaker 2: It's crystal clearly, I think you're strangely wrong. If it's
Speaker 2: the next Saturday, it's the next one, Cory, very next one. No,
Speaker 2: the english here is specific. It's the next Saturday, two
Speaker 2: weeks time. The language the two words together. There for
Speaker 2: a reason, next Saturday.
Speaker 4: Saturday is short for not this Saturday.
Speaker 3: Next.
Speaker 4: Say everybody knows what this Sunday, next Saturday.
Speaker 2: Because if you want two weeks.
Speaker 4: Time, that's Saturday week. If you wanted to use English
Speaker 4: for this Saturday, just say this Saturday.
Speaker 2: Are either's acceptable because it's the next available Saturday. This one,
Speaker 2: because you again you're adding ext words in there. You
Speaker 2: you're next few words next Saturday.
Speaker 1: No, it's just Saturday.
Speaker 2: If I said, right, the next break, when is that
Speaker 2: two breaks time?
Speaker 4: Hell, this only applies for a.
Speaker 2: Special rule that semantics always have to be applied. So
Speaker 2: when's the next break in your ration? Now it's in
Speaker 2: two breaks time?
Speaker 4: It doesn't work.
Speaker 2: So the next hour? When is that two hours time?
Speaker 3: Next hour is not this hour? Because we're in this
Speaker 3: hour next hour.
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like you it's in two hours time.
Speaker 2: That's just this our Okay, what's the next month?
Speaker 1: Next month is not this month, it's the month after.
Speaker 2: So what is that September time?
Speaker 1: Let's not get into it.
Speaker 4: Doesn't work for anything other than days of the week.
Speaker 4: But I agree with Rio, thank, no way, Perhaps.
Speaker 2: What do we split here? No? I agree totally with
Speaker 2: Christian absolutely.
Speaker 1: Next is.
Speaker 2: We're going to skip the next one and go the
Speaker 2: next next.
Speaker 4: Week because there's a full proof word for the coming Saturday,
Speaker 4: and that's this Saturday Sday.
Speaker 2: So who else was there?
Speaker 1: Okay, everyone else?
Speaker 2: You were the only one, so everyone else understood next Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yes, But I think they just put two and two
Speaker 3: together because it was birthday next Saturday.
Speaker 4: If you have an idiot friend whose birthday is maybe
Speaker 4: they decided like, oh, it's a probably idiot friend. He's
Speaker 4: going to not know next Saturday, real next Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, Otherwise just say Saturday, Yeah, which Saturday?
Speaker 1: Saturday?
Speaker 2: If it's just the next Saturday. If you say, you've
Speaker 2: got some leaky logic, if.
Speaker 4: You say I'm having drinks on Saturday, there's no confusion
Speaker 4: that that's coming Saturday.
Speaker 1: I'll be their Saturday.
Speaker 2: No worry. What about the next available Saturday? When would
Speaker 2: that be next Saturday?
Speaker 1: Next available Saturday? Yes, that's this Saturday.
Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, there you go. So he went next to
Speaker 2: take away available and you've just got next Saturday.
Speaker 4: But you've taken away a very important word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we put but remaining two really important ones the
Speaker 2: next Saturday. Let's go to producer Kaitlin. What do you
Speaker 2: think next Saturday? When would we be meeting?
Speaker 1: I'm with you and Pats the following Saturday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd be Saturday. No, you don't even know me.
Speaker 1: Can we take your for a year? Agree with those.
Speaker 2: Two you just said two weeks time. This is the
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell show podcast. Lots of people are all weighing
Speaker 2: in on this. Still now on the text, christ and
Speaker 2: I hope you don't have a road trip coming up
Speaker 2: with Jack anytime soon. If you ask Jack to take
Speaker 2: the next excip he's ignoring the next one, taking you
Speaker 2: to the next one after that.
Speaker 4: It depends how you say it, because if I say,
Speaker 4: am I getting off here?
Speaker 2: You go know that the next if it's all road
Speaker 2: road road road road, Christian I'm one hundred percent with
Speaker 2: Rio and Jack. This Saturday is the next Saturday, and
Speaker 2: next Saturday is the Saturday after this Saturday. Clear as
Speaker 2: mud Danny, none of that makes any sense. Christian think
Speaker 2: we're all missing a big point here. Rio should just
Speaker 2: go up both Saturdays. The avoidance of doubt. Christian, I
Speaker 2: would clarify about the date. There's no need to. If
Speaker 2: it's a Sunday and it's next Saturday, is this Saturday?
Speaker 2: Next Saturday means this Saturday. Stop saying keep texting it
Speaker 2: to me. It's like a mantra. Say it ten times,
Speaker 2: see what happens. The word this and next refers to
Speaker 2: the week. So this Saturday is the Saturday of this week. Agreed.
Speaker 2: Next Saturday is a Saturday belonging to next week.
Speaker 4: That's a good Yes, this is a great from Lauren.
Speaker 2: If on a Sunday you say next Saturday, you're referring
Speaker 2: to Saturday next week, which also happens in the circumstances
Speaker 2: to be the upcoming Saturday. Because Christian right, the week
Speaker 2: begins Monday.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's why it makes Sunday so confusing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, or not? I were to say or not?
