WEBVTT - MINI: Hidden from Your Parents

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

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show Podcast of

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. We moved our nineteen year old daughter had

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 2>a campus at university where she's been living away for

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the first time this year back home little bit reluctant.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Did feel like bounty hunters bringing her back in apprehended.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>And Saturday lunchtime we all had a family lunch together. Okay,

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.639
<v Speaker 2>and we're all getting on there. The sun's out, it's great,

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the family's back. I'm feeling happy. And then Ruby, my

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 2>nineteen year old, go, is there's something I need to

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>tell your mum. And I've been worried about this for

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks. And my wife immediately goes pregnant

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and I went, maybe maybe it's okay to think that.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>She goes, do you think that? Went yeah, but I'm

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>want blutting it out. Let's not go to that, let's

0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 2>not escalate the situation. But inside I'm actually just tensing up,

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>going bracing for impact. But I can see she's smiling

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>as we can't be drastic news. And then her younger

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>sister goes, I know what it is, and she's widely

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>going to kick her out, and went kick you out.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I said, you know, whatever's happened. You're not being kicked out,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>what has happened? And then she rolls up a sleeve

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 2>there's a new tattoo. Of course I'm like, oh my,

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>he is a tattoo. Okay. Second, my wife just goes,

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 2>oh thank god. I thought she's still pregnant. So it's

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 2>when they were very very young, right, they had They

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>were very very close. They still are now, but it

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>changed everything when you know one's moved out now and

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it's it's changed their relationship, but they miss each other massively.

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, when they were really really young, they still

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>love watching this movie. It's an animated movie. There's a

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>whole studio called Studio Ghibli which make these beautiful movies

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>like How's Moving carst So if you've got kids, get

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>them to watch it. They're magical movies. They're like spellbinding.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I used to have like trippy experiences sitting there watching them,

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>going don't fully understand why this is so moving. Anyway,

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>there was one called Ponto and Ponio is this goldfish

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 2>who's a princess that as soon as I saw the

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>tattoo was like, Ponyo, I haven't seen Ponyo. Well, since

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you're about eight, you're nineteen and a half and Ponto

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>has been tattooed permanently on your elbow. So yep, she

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>got a Ponio tattoo. So sort of she wanted it

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>was a message to her sister that you're still with me.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>So and obviously when she says that, you know I'm not,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting tearful. I'm going, my god, that's sound having

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.839
<v Speaker 2>my wife is like looking at me like, that's so good.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 2>We said no more tattoos until she was twenty five.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>It's Ponto and it's okay to have an inkd on

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Chris pregnant Ponyo?

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.520

<v Speaker 2>Hi Hei guys, Yeah, welcome to the show for the

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 2>sta What was the secret you tried to hide from

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>your parents?

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Mike was kept for sixteen years. My brother and

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 4>I we used to have a little table and cheese

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.239
<v Speaker 4>in our dream. We shared a bedroom and we told

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 4>my mom that I tripped over that and put a

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 4>hole in my leg, actually cracked my leg, but we

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 4>did it. We were jumping from our wardrobe onto our

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 4>single bed, had a little bar underneath. Smack under that.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>And what you made a pact to never speak of

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 2>what really happened.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.359
<v Speaker 4>That's right, we were too scared. So on my twenty

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 4>first my brother and I were talking about it and

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 4>we were just laughing, we should tell mom the truth.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 4>And yes, Mum was shocked.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>She did not know you're kidding. She must have known

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>you were jumping from the top of the wardrope down there.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, idea that that's well. She probably knew that

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.679
<v Speaker 4>we used to do that, but she had no idea

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 4>that that's how I did my leg. So and so

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 4>to this day, and I'm now a fifty year old

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 4>with a nice five cent hole in my shin.

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a momento from your childhood, isn't it. You know,

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it's a little it's like a little souvenir. Also, as

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>a kid, just out of time, you could just wait,

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 2>blissful time, jumping from one thing to the other, just

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 2>leaping in your mind. You're not Indiana Jones

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.560
