WEBVTT - MINI: Front Porch

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Quest.

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you got on your front porch?

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 3>One of things I've noticed when we move to to

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Australia is it's kind of thing to have stuff out

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.719
<v Speaker 3>the front porch. You can do that where I'm from,

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 3>but it will get stolen. So if you just want

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 3>it to be removed, it will be lucky. If it'll

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 3>be there in the morning, it won't be there. If

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 3>you leave it outside the front porch, that will not

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 3>be there one someone will just take it.

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I've had a full Weber barbecue on the porch

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>for over six months and it hasn't been stolen.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 3>And it's a lovely thing. It says, well trusting, actually

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 3>pretty safe place. This is so it amazed me when moving.

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 3>It's the thing you can just it's almost like a

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 3>little mini rum out there. You've got of strange things

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 3>and it varies from house to house. Help people manage

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 3>what's there. Some people are very organized. They have like

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 3>a nice wooden box where the stuff is hidden away.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>You know that hidden storage we have that. There's a

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>box which just a random assortment of dog leads, pooh bags,

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>dog balls, and then for some reason, my wife and

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 3>two daughters have their shoe.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>There, so I don't know where. If it were in

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>some sort of Japanese tea house.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.119
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know you were a shoes off household.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not so right, So I don't know what they

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 3>take their shoes off, and then they're either like the

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>dishwasher where it's either one shoe might go in or

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 3>it's nowhere near this box so it doesn't really work.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>And then there's a there's this random crap out though

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 3>it's actually really messy. Our porch per that's what's on

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 3>your front porch we have got Yours is tidy?

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, it should be, but it's not. We've got

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 5>the empty rumber box from Christmas Christmas thing I know

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 5>that's waiting for recycling, and it kind of is sliding

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 5>around in the wind. What else if we book boxes

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 5>out there, well, it does become there bins to the side.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>I tell myself that we know when you've got those

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 3>big boxes that are quite hard to break down, I

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 3>let the weather do it.

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sad.

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Because it does. Over time, it loses it integrity and

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 4>then you just a.

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>One pound.

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't take up as much space.

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>With the rain the other day. That'll be all good.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 5>Now that rumber boxer really ready to go to myrow

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 5>for day. We've got a garden bench because we like

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 5>to sit out the front some Saturday mornings and have

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 5>a cup of tea and watch the world.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 4>Go by when you're not playing hoops.

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's right.

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>That is another sign that you'reknocking on a bit. Nineteen

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 3>and twentyear olds aren't sat out on that stoop? Are

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>they just staring into space? Existential doubt all around them.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>I've got one of those. I like to just sit

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 3>out there and what it is like people do a

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 3>double take when you see them, and you have to

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>do the oldy.

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Morning Are there, Derek, how's Marie?

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 5>And then either side of the door. On one side,

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 5>I've got some half dead pansies waiting for April to

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 5>plant some more. And then on the other side, I've

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 5>got three.

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Sort of bloody old big porch in it.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 5>Three ornate concrete balls.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I've seen the photos of these. What the hell

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>are they are? They speak? I thought they were like speakers.

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I actually thought they were like sonos the sphere.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 1>It's the sphere at the moment in Vegas, it's what are.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 4>They feels like you could speak to them like hey, good,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 4>hey sphere.

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 5>They're three different sizes gray ones grayer than the other two,

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 5>and it just matches our brick. And it's just like

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 5>a little.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Bit doesn't match the brick though it doesn't matter. Those

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>things are.

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 3>They're like just gray at this balls you get for

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the world's strongest man.

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've got to pick them up and move

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>them around.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Looks like a strong man bull.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes, no, And guess where I got them? Rubbish camer

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 5>I got them Camar, and I saw them and I thought,

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 5>you know what, I'm not into garden names, but I'm

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 5>into balls.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 3>That's the path in life. It foughts do you either

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 3>go down the Nomi path or the balls?

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 4>Are they heavy or are.

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 5>They know they're very lightly hollow? Jack?

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 4>They just what a true?

0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>They look random.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 5>Likem No, see maybe I should have taken a photo

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 5>of the whole entire porch.

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 4>Yes, all sort.

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Of just you know what, we're forgetting that our meditation

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>garden she's got. That's how the I thought the balls

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 3>were part of that.

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Geometrics shapes and fnchi Jack, what's on in front of yours?

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 4>So ours is a dumping ground.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm sad to say, but it really is, just like

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 3>the hobo house on the street.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 4>When you get young kids. They've just got to.

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Kids.

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Shrikes that push trolley that he's gone the prem he's

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>got this wag in. So all just masses on the

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>front porch.

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>What about all that random wood?

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the wood is Our fireplace doesn't work, and we

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to throw away the wood because hardwood is

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>quite expensive it is, and so now just lives on

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the porch, I guess until we one day have a

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.239
<v Speaker 2>fireplace again.

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.120
