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

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show Podcast of

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: the weekend. We moved our nineteen year old daughter had

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: a campus at university where she's been living away for

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: the first time this year back home little bit reluctant.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Did feel like bounty hunters bringing her back in apprehended.

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 2: And Saturday lunchtime we all had a family lunch together. Okay,

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: and we're all getting on there. The sun's out, it's great,

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: the family's back. I'm feeling happy. And then Ruby, my

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: nineteen year old, go, is there's something I need to

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: tell your mum. And I've been worried about this for

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. And my wife immediately goes pregnant

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: and I went, maybe maybe it's okay to think that.

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: She goes, do you think that? Went yeah, but I'm

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: want blutting it out. Let's not go to that, let's

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: not escalate the situation. But inside I'm actually just tensing up,

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: going bracing for impact. But I can see she's smiling

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: as we can't be drastic news. And then her younger

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: sister goes, I know what it is, and she's widely

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: going to kick her out, and went kick you out.

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: I said, you know, whatever's happened. You're not being kicked out,

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: what has happened? And then she rolls up a sleeve

23
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: there's a new tattoo. Of course I'm like, oh my,

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: he is a tattoo. Okay. Second, my wife just goes,

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: oh thank god. I thought she's still pregnant. So it's

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: when they were very very young, right, they had They

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: were very very close. They still are now, but it

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: changed everything when you know one's moved out now and

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: it's it's changed their relationship, but they miss each other massively.

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, when they were really really young, they still

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: love watching this movie. It's an animated movie. There's a

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: whole studio called Studio Ghibli which make these beautiful movies

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: like How's Moving carst So if you've got kids, get

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: them to watch it. They're magical movies. They're like spellbinding.

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: I used to have like trippy experiences sitting there watching them,

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: going don't fully understand why this is so moving. Anyway,

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: there was one called Ponto and Ponio is this goldfish

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: who's a princess that as soon as I saw the

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: tattoo was like, Ponyo, I haven't seen Ponyo. Well, since

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: you're about eight, you're nineteen and a half and Ponto

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: has been tattooed permanently on your elbow. So yep, she

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: got a Ponio tattoo. So sort of she wanted it

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: was a message to her sister that you're still with me.

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: So and obviously when she says that, you know I'm not,

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm getting tearful. I'm going, my god, that's sound having

46
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 2: my wife is like looking at me like, that's so good.

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: We said no more tattoos until she was twenty five.

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: It's Ponto and it's okay to have an inkd on

49
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: Chris pregnant Ponyo?

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,080

104
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: sta What was the secret you tried to hide from

105
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: your parents?

106
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: Okay, Mike was kept for sixteen years. My brother and

107
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: I we used to have a little table and cheese

108
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: in our dream. We shared a bedroom and we told

109
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: my mom that I tripped over that and put a

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: hole in my leg, actually cracked my leg, but we

111
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: did it. We were jumping from our wardrobe onto our

112
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 4: single bed, had a little bar underneath. Smack under that.

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: And what you made a pact to never speak of

114
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: what really happened.

115
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 4: That's right, we were too scared. So on my twenty

116
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: first my brother and I were talking about it and

117
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: we were just laughing, we should tell mom the truth.

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: And yes, Mum was shocked.

119
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: She did not know you're kidding. She must have known

120
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: you were jumping from the top of the wardrope down there.

121
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: You know, idea that that's well. She probably knew that

122
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 4: we used to do that, but she had no idea

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 4: that that's how I did my leg. So and so

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: to this day, and I'm now a fifty year old

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: with a nice five cent hole in my shin.

126
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: It's a momento from your childhood, isn't it. You know,

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: it's a little it's like a little souvenir. Also, as

128
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: a kid, just out of time, you could just wait,

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: blissful time, jumping from one thing to the other, just

130
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: leaping in your mind. You're not Indiana Jones
