Speaker 2: be taken off when you enter a house. I always
Speaker 2: ask every home I go into.
Speaker 3: I think it's your right.

Speaker 2: about shoes? And you can always town. Within a couple,
Speaker 2: there's either someone who is the upholder or the like,
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. They don't want to be seen

Speaker 6: Yeah, So you get your slippers when you come in.
Speaker 6: So you come inside obviously, take your shoes off. You
Speaker 6: get your own personal slippers. You come inside, and then
Speaker 6: if you need to go outside, you take indoor slippers off,
Speaker 6: and then I've got a shoe rack for the outdoor
Speaker 6: slippers only.

Speaker 6: couple of different sizes. You got indoor ones. And then
Speaker 6: if you go outside, I.
Speaker 2: Find that I find that a bit revolting. I don't
Speaker 2: put my feet in where one of your mates. I
Speaker 2: don't know what kind of hide you might have athletes
Speaker 2: for something like that going on. I put my tender
Speaker 2: feet in your mates in your third hand slippers, Jamie.

Speaker 3: Good morning?
Speaker 7: Good morning, guys. How are you all?
Speaker 3: We're good. So, Jess, you've got a story about spinaches.
Speaker 7: No, not about spinaches, but about rules at the.
Speaker 3: House, all right, gotcha?
Speaker 7: So actually I've got two. So, first of all, it's
Speaker 7: my rule if we cook and food splatters or oil splatters,
Speaker 7: we have to clean it up straight way. So my
Speaker 7: my wife usually cooks in the kitchen and I'm usually
Speaker 7: behind it with a paper towel and spray bottled.
Speaker 3: If you leave it half.
Speaker 7: An hour, it just does my head in.
Speaker 3: My wife's the same, I am, mister.
Speaker 2: I do it later when it's all dried, and it's
Speaker 2: virtually impossible to get if you need like a chiese exactly.
Speaker 2: It's other worst where there's like dried pasta and like
Speaker 2: pasta sauce, you know, by these sort of oven rings,
Speaker 2: and you cannot you can't just put water on there
Speaker 2: to tab it. It's dried in permanently, isn't it. If
Speaker 2: you don't clear up immediately, it tries really quickly.
Speaker 7: That's right, Hey, I've got another one for you guys. Also,
Speaker 7: my other rule is water droplets on the shower. If
Speaker 7: we have a shower, we have the squeegeye after to
Speaker 7: make sure we don't get any of the scum sitting
Speaker 7: on there and water droplets dried up.
Speaker 2: So if you've got like a windscreen wiper sort of
Speaker 2: thing in there, one of those squeegy things in the.
Speaker 7: Shower, I've actually got two squeeges, one for the floor
Speaker 7: for the tiles and one for the shower screen.
Speaker 2: That's hardcore, that is, I mean there are serial killers
Speaker 2: that don't clean up after them like that is.
Speaker 8: Foughtless.
Speaker 2: Your shower, you soaking getting out of the shower and
Speaker 2: unite squeezing the floor and the size. It's an intense
Speaker 2: workout for your cours, like pilates in the shower just
Speaker 2: around at yours and that's.
Speaker 7: When you don't want anyone to walk in on you
Speaker 7: when you're beinging.
Speaker 1: Over the Christian O'Connell show podcast, All right, we're taking
Speaker 1: your calls either about spinachers or your house rules.
Speaker 2: Just thinking to our call. We had a couple of
Speaker 2: minutes ago from Jamie who you go? You go into
Speaker 2: Jamie's house via the garage. The garage opens up, he
Speaker 2: spies you the fly sheet. You go into the garage
Speaker 2: to take your shoes off. He gives you slippers he's
Speaker 2: got various sizes, and then you go in the houses.
Speaker 2: I don't remember another story out about that. My boss,
Speaker 2: a lot of other radio bosses about ten years ago,
Speaker 2: got flown from London to Paisley Park to Prince's place
Speaker 2: right where he was not just going to play back
Speaker 2: his album, he was going to play it live because
Speaker 2: he had like an actual kind of theater in his own.
Speaker 2: I remember saying, it's my boss, why are you going?
Speaker 2: Shouldn't I think that's the thing that I should go.
Speaker 2: And it's like it's vital you remain on air, you know,
Speaker 2: I think his vice and I got a Paisley Were
Speaker 2: you not even that big a Prince fan?
Speaker 3: He got his house and he's going to go into
Speaker 3: a cider and play Why can't I?
Speaker 2: Anyway, Prince, you want me surpised to know? This is
Speaker 2: a very was a very neat freak he had. There
Speaker 2: were brand new slippers there that you were given like
Speaker 2: a bowling sort of arcade where you handed his shoes
Speaker 2: over what size you were and you were giving. You
Speaker 2: go to hotel, you open up the brand. They were
Speaker 2: like those brand new seal Sialk slippers, stuff like that. Oh,
Speaker 2: let's go to William. He's got a story about spillages, William.
Speaker 8: Yes, go and go.
Speaker 2: We're good William. So this happened at work, this story
Speaker 2: of a spillage.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, six years ago I worked in a textile factory
Speaker 8: and the qurefied but inexperienced forkliff driver and I was
Speaker 8: asked to bring down from the pell Rex four drums
Speaker 8: two hundred liters each of paint.
Speaker 2: You can see this? What do you have that moment
Speaker 2: you said, qualify but inexperience. What a beautiful combination?
Speaker 8: Absolutely so. Basically I was pulling the pellet off the
Speaker 8: rack and one of the drums hadn't been put on
Speaker 8: the wreck properly. It hit the side of the stillage
Speaker 8: frame and two hundred liters of painter's just gone everywhere.
Speaker 3: And there aren't any tea towels big enough are there
Speaker 3: to mop up?
Speaker 2: What two hundred liters of paint that is not exactly
Speaker 2: easily absorbed?
Speaker 8: Is it not at all? Mate?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 8: And so it took three guys including me because I
Speaker 8: was the one who drives the Forcliff in the first place.
Speaker 8: Three hours to clean it up.
Speaker 3: How do you clean up two hundred liters of paint?
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 8: We well, obviously being a textile factor of wears rags
Speaker 8: at times, but I.
Speaker 2: Think the curtains.
Speaker 3: Those are the materials, they're not rags. Did you leave
Speaker 3: this job that day? It still don't work there anymore, William,
Speaker 3: did you know?
Speaker 8: Definitely not, William. That's one of the things that sort
Speaker 8: of calls me to leave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, choice, all right, William, Thank you very much for
Speaker 3: core mate. Take care.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 3: David.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Christian.
Speaker 6: How are you.
Speaker 3: I am excited to speak to you.
Speaker 2: I think I've met a fellow dishwasher overlord.
Speaker 7: We are.
Speaker 5: We have a very specific way of loading and unloading
Speaker 5: a dishwasher, and the unloading.
Speaker 6: Parts the good part about it.
Speaker 5: But loading it up, we have to put all our
Speaker 5: cutlery in the words particular positions so they're all separated
Speaker 5: so we can pick him up for easy pick up.
Speaker 2: I'm the same, right, don't have many rules, but I'm
Speaker 2: the same. So David, just so I get it that
Speaker 2: you do the same as me. So all the knives
Speaker 2: when you put them in there go in like the
Speaker 2: knife session. They're together, the forks, the spoons that for
Speaker 2: when they're dry.
Speaker 3: It's easy. You clutch all the knives straight. The NiFe rule.
Speaker 3: Mister spoons, come with me, missus fawkes, come with me.
Speaker 3: It's easier. It's too short to know. It's not put
Speaker 3: in the cutlery in any way. All you're doing is
Speaker 3: moving your hand around. One little game. At the end
Speaker 3: where you're dishwasher.
Speaker 2: You're giving future dishwasher you a gift from the past.
Speaker 5: You're saving you're saving yourself time as well. That's the
Speaker 5: whole thing about it.
Speaker 3: Life is too short, so don't waste in a chaos.
Speaker 6: Five seconds this big deal.
Speaker 3: You do it every day. That's a minute every week.
Speaker 3: A minute every week.
Speaker 2: I can be making sweet love to my wife.
