1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Whatever you got on your front porch?

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 3: One of things I've noticed when we move to to

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 3: Australia is it's kind of thing to have stuff out

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 3: the front porch. You can do that where I'm from,

7
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 3: but it will get stolen. So if you just want

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 3: it to be removed, it will be lucky. If it'll

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: be there in the morning, it won't be there. If

10
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: you leave it outside the front porch, that will not

11
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: be there one someone will just take it.

12
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I've had a full Weber barbecue on the porch

13
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: for over six months and it hasn't been stolen.

14
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: And it's a lovely thing. It says, well trusting, actually

15
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: pretty safe place. This is so it amazed me when moving.

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

17
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: It's the thing you can just it's almost like a

18
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: little mini rum out there. You've got of strange things

19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: and it varies from house to house. Help people manage

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: what's there. Some people are very organized. They have like

21
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: a nice wooden box where the stuff is hidden away.

22
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 3: You know that hidden storage we have that. There's a

23
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: box which just a random assortment of dog leads, pooh bags,

24
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: dog balls, and then for some reason, my wife and

25
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: two daughters have their shoe.

26
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: There, so I don't know where. If it were in

27
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: some sort of Japanese tea house.

28
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 4: I didn't know you were a shoes off household.

29
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm not so right, So I don't know what they

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: take their shoes off, and then they're either like the

31
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: dishwasher where it's either one shoe might go in or

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: it's nowhere near this box so it doesn't really work.

33
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: And then there's a there's this random crap out though

34
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 3: it's actually really messy. Our porch per that's what's on

35
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: your front porch we have got Yours is tidy?

36
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: Oh no, it should be, but it's not. We've got

37
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 5: the empty rumber box from Christmas Christmas thing I know

38
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 5: that's waiting for recycling, and it kind of is sliding

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 5: around in the wind. What else if we book boxes

40
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 5: out there, well, it does become there bins to the side.

41
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: I tell myself that we know when you've got those

42
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: big boxes that are quite hard to break down, I

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: let the weather do it.

44
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, sad.

45
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 4: Because it does. Over time, it loses it integrity and

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: then you just a.

47
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: One pound.

48
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 5: It doesn't take up as much space.

49
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: With the rain the other day. That'll be all good.

50
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 5: Now that rumber boxer really ready to go to myrow

51
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: for day. We've got a garden bench because we like

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: to sit out the front some Saturday mornings and have

53
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: a cup of tea and watch the world.

54
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Go by when you're not playing hoops.

55
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

56
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: That is another sign that you'reknocking on a bit. Nineteen

57
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: and twentyear olds aren't sat out on that stoop? Are

58
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: they just staring into space? Existential doubt all around them.

59
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: I've got one of those. I like to just sit

60
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: out there and what it is like people do a

61
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: double take when you see them, and you have to

62
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: do the oldy.

63
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Morning Are there, Derek, how's Marie?

64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,040

65
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes.

66
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 5: And then either side of the door. On one side,

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 5: I've got some half dead pansies waiting for April to

68
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 5: plant some more. And then on the other side, I've

69
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 5: got three.

70
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: Sort of bloody old big porch in it.

71
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 5: Three ornate concrete balls.

72
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Now I've seen the photos of these. What the hell

73
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: are they are? They speak? I thought they were like speakers.

74
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: I actually thought they were like sonos the sphere.

75
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: It's the sphere at the moment in Vegas, it's what are.

76
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: They feels like you could speak to them like hey, good,

77
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: hey sphere.

78
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: They're three different sizes gray ones grayer than the other two,

79
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: and it just matches our brick. And it's just like

80
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: a little.

81
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Bit doesn't match the brick though it doesn't matter. Those

82
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: things are.

83
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: They're like just gray at this balls you get for

84
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: the world's strongest man.

85
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, they've got to pick them up and move

86
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: them around.

87
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: Looks like a strong man bull.

88
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 5: Yes, no, And guess where I got them? Rubbish camer

89
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 5: I got them Camar, and I saw them and I thought,

90
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm not into garden names, but I'm

91
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: into balls.

92
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: That's the path in life. It foughts do you either

93
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: go down the Nomi path or the balls?

94
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: Are they heavy or are.

95
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: They know they're very lightly hollow? Jack?

96
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: They just what a true?

97
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: They look random.

98
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 5: Likem No, see maybe I should have taken a photo

99
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 5: of the whole entire porch.

100
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: Yes, all sort.

101
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: Of just you know what, we're forgetting that our meditation

102
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: garden she's got. That's how the I thought the balls

103
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: were part of that.

104
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Geometrics shapes and fnchi Jack, what's on in front of yours?

105
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 4: So ours is a dumping ground.

106
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm sad to say, but it really is, just like

107
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: the hobo house on the street.

108
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: When you get young kids. They've just got to.

109
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: Kids.

110
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: Shrikes that push trolley that he's gone the prem he's

111
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: got this wag in. So all just masses on the

112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: front porch.

113
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: What about all that random wood?

114
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: Yes, the wood is Our fireplace doesn't work, and we

115
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: didn't want to throw away the wood because hardwood is

116
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: quite expensive it is, and so now just lives on

117
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: the porch, I guess until we one day have a

118
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 2: fireplace again.

119
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,120
