Speaker 1: Quest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Whatever you got on your front porch?
Speaker 3: One of things I've noticed when we move to to
Speaker 3: Australia is it's kind of thing to have stuff out
Speaker 3: the front porch. You can do that where I'm from,
Speaker 3: but it will get stolen. So if you just want
Speaker 3: it to be removed, it will be lucky. If it'll
Speaker 3: be there in the morning, it won't be there. If
Speaker 3: you leave it outside the front porch, that will not
Speaker 3: be there one someone will just take it.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've had a full Weber barbecue on the porch
Speaker 2: for over six months and it hasn't been stolen.
Speaker 3: And it's a lovely thing. It says, well trusting, actually
Speaker 3: pretty safe place. This is so it amazed me when moving.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's the thing you can just it's almost like a
Speaker 3: little mini rum out there. You've got of strange things
Speaker 3: and it varies from house to house. Help people manage
Speaker 3: what's there. Some people are very organized. They have like
Speaker 3: a nice wooden box where the stuff is hidden away.
Speaker 3: You know that hidden storage we have that. There's a
Speaker 3: box which just a random assortment of dog leads, pooh bags,
Speaker 3: dog balls, and then for some reason, my wife and
Speaker 3: two daughters have their shoe.
Speaker 1: There, so I don't know where. If it were in
Speaker 1: some sort of Japanese tea house.
Speaker 4: I didn't know you were a shoes off household.
Speaker 3: I'm not so right, So I don't know what they
Speaker 3: take their shoes off, and then they're either like the
Speaker 3: dishwasher where it's either one shoe might go in or
Speaker 3: it's nowhere near this box so it doesn't really work.
Speaker 3: And then there's a there's this random crap out though
Speaker 3: it's actually really messy. Our porch per that's what's on
Speaker 3: your front porch we have got Yours is tidy?
Speaker 5: Oh no, it should be, but it's not. We've got
Speaker 5: the empty rumber box from Christmas Christmas thing I know
Speaker 5: that's waiting for recycling, and it kind of is sliding
Speaker 5: around in the wind. What else if we book boxes
Speaker 5: out there, well, it does become there bins to the side.
Speaker 3: I tell myself that we know when you've got those
Speaker 3: big boxes that are quite hard to break down, I
Speaker 3: let the weather do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sad.
Speaker 4: Because it does. Over time, it loses it integrity and
Speaker 4: then you just a.
Speaker 1: One pound.
Speaker 5: It doesn't take up as much space.
Speaker 1: With the rain the other day. That'll be all good.
Speaker 5: Now that rumber boxer really ready to go to myrow
Speaker 5: for day. We've got a garden bench because we like
Speaker 5: to sit out the front some Saturday mornings and have
Speaker 5: a cup of tea and watch the world.
Speaker 4: Go by when you're not playing hoops.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: That is another sign that you'reknocking on a bit. Nineteen
Speaker 3: and twentyear olds aren't sat out on that stoop? Are
Speaker 3: they just staring into space? Existential doubt all around them.
Speaker 3: I've got one of those. I like to just sit
Speaker 3: out there and what it is like people do a
Speaker 3: double take when you see them, and you have to
Speaker 3: do the oldy.
Speaker 1: Morning Are there, Derek, how's Marie?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes.
Speaker 5: And then either side of the door. On one side,
Speaker 5: I've got some half dead pansies waiting for April to
Speaker 5: plant some more. And then on the other side, I've
Speaker 5: got three.
Speaker 1: Sort of bloody old big porch in it.
Speaker 5: Three ornate concrete balls.
Speaker 1: Now I've seen the photos of these. What the hell
Speaker 1: are they are? They speak? I thought they were like speakers.
Speaker 3: I actually thought they were like sonos the sphere.
Speaker 1: It's the sphere at the moment in Vegas, it's what are.
Speaker 4: They feels like you could speak to them like hey, good,
Speaker 4: hey sphere.
Speaker 5: They're three different sizes gray ones grayer than the other two,
Speaker 5: and it just matches our brick. And it's just like
Speaker 5: a little.
Speaker 1: Bit doesn't match the brick though it doesn't matter. Those
Speaker 1: things are.
Speaker 3: They're like just gray at this balls you get for
Speaker 3: the world's strongest man.
Speaker 1: You know, they've got to pick them up and move
Speaker 1: them around.
Speaker 4: Looks like a strong man bull.
Speaker 5: Yes, no, And guess where I got them? Rubbish camer
Speaker 5: I got them Camar, and I saw them and I thought,
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm not into garden names, but I'm
Speaker 5: into balls.
Speaker 3: That's the path in life. It foughts do you either
Speaker 3: go down the Nomi path or the balls?
Speaker 4: Are they heavy or are.
Speaker 5: They know they're very lightly hollow? Jack?
Speaker 4: They just what a true?
Speaker 1: They look random.
Speaker 5: Likem No, see maybe I should have taken a photo
Speaker 5: of the whole entire porch.
Speaker 4: Yes, all sort.
Speaker 3: Of just you know what, we're forgetting that our meditation
Speaker 3: garden she's got. That's how the I thought the balls
Speaker 3: were part of that.
Speaker 1: Geometrics shapes and fnchi Jack, what's on in front of yours?
Speaker 4: So ours is a dumping ground.
Speaker 3: I'm sad to say, but it really is, just like
Speaker 3: the hobo house on the street.
Speaker 4: When you get young kids. They've just got to.
Speaker 1: Kids.
Speaker 2: Shrikes that push trolley that he's gone the prem he's
Speaker 2: got this wag in. So all just masses on the
Speaker 2: front porch.
Speaker 1: What about all that random wood?
Speaker 2: Yes, the wood is Our fireplace doesn't work, and we
Speaker 2: didn't want to throw away the wood because hardwood is
Speaker 2: quite expensive it is, and so now just lives on
Speaker 2: the porch, I guess until we one day have a
Speaker 2: fireplace again.
