Speaker 2: starting the week? Did we start the week on Monday?
Speaker 2: Winner or loser? Patsy? Start your engine now? Something terrible'll
Speaker 2: happened to you yesterday?
Speaker 4: Can you believe this?
Speaker 5: I went to the supermarket yesterday afternoon and got a
Speaker 5: couple of things, came out and someone had knocked the
Speaker 5: front on it of my car and left quite a
Speaker 5: significant dent and not left the details.
Speaker 4: What Yeah, who does that?
Speaker 5: And it was obviously a white because there was some
Speaker 5: white juco on my bonnet and it's kind of got
Speaker 5: like the bottom.
Speaker 1: Do you ask around for anyone who saw it or anything?
Speaker 4: No, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: That's horrible. You know, it's all Christmas or anytime.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's just a car.
Speaker 5: But the annoying thing is it's probably not enough damage
Speaker 5: to do under the insurance with your excess. So I've
Speaker 5: just kind of got a copy it. It's just like
Speaker 5: a little like a line across like a kind of
Speaker 5: vertical line, so they've obviously like tapped at it significant
Speaker 5: sort of. I thought maybe it was a trolley, and
Speaker 5: then the Love God looked at it and he said, no,
Speaker 5: that's definitely a car.
Speaker 4: It's got white chuco on it.
Speaker 1: Real, you've got different theory that show and then said, you.
Speaker 6: Say it, I am just so I have a curious mind.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and obviously I'm sure I'm sure Patsy's correct. I
Speaker 7: just said, is there a possibility that perhaps maybe previously,
Speaker 7: maybe you could have possibly been the one that hits someone?
Speaker 6: This scoundrel possibil I.
Speaker 4: Can just see what the pre show meeting would have contained.
Speaker 1: Ye came in and when she's she's clown into somebody,
Speaker 1: trust me.
Speaker 2: If and we saw how ship the speed that she
Speaker 2: parks her obviously a very slow motion accident.
Speaker 6: That's true.
Speaker 4: If I had hit something.
Speaker 1: Over a matter of hours.
Speaker 5: If I hit something enough with enough impact to make
Speaker 5: that sort of damage, I.
Speaker 4: Would not know.
Speaker 5: I woulddraw the question you thank you annoying.
Speaker 2: Before the show goes you ask her, I went, what
Speaker 2: your theory?
Speaker 1: It's better coming from you weasel there. Yeah, you capitulated
Speaker 1: like England a couple of weeks ago. Capitulation week.
Speaker 2: Guys just back actually hopefully not.

Speaker 1: hour thing, now, isn't it? Ciber Monday?
Speaker 2: Yesterday? And what's today? Dial up Tuesday? It feels like
Speaker 2: it's constant. I can get those emails knowing, hey, don't

Speaker 2: it's Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So.
Speaker 2: Our family, we love our birken Stocks, right, I've been
Speaker 2: a wearing Berkenstons for years. However, I don't know why
Speaker 2: they are so expensive. You know, it's a cork footbed.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the price of cork right now,
Speaker 2: listen to what's going on with the Dale Jones at
Speaker 2: six o'clock in my favorite business news roundup with pantsy,
Speaker 2: but nothing about the price of cork. Even the Black
Speaker 2: Friday souse. These Birkenstocks are still so expensive.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 2: Both my girls wanted Birkenstocks, of course, two different styles
Speaker 2: that had to go on two different websites.
Speaker 1: Anyway, one of my, oh my god, this is like
Speaker 1: half price. Now.
Speaker 2: I was rushing around Sunday. I put it in a basket. Yes,
Speaker 2: they go back to that basket. Price has gone back up.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I thought it was like, you know, the
Speaker 2: Vatican is a sovereign state. I thought, the basket. Once
Speaker 2: it's in there, it's a sovereign state. It can't be
Speaker 2: taken out, or the price can't The price is price
Speaker 2: in yes, price surging were they doing? We buy tickets now?
Speaker 2: But they dynamic pricing on boken stocks?
Speaker 6: When would it end?
Speaker 7: Like if you if you locked it in on Sunday,
Speaker 7: say you don't come back back for two three months,
Speaker 7: Are you still expecting your price to be locked in?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I can't, but surely twenty four hours come on.
Speaker 6: That's how they get you, those Germans in the birken Stocks.
Speaker 1: That's how it wasn't on their website.
Speaker 2: It was another sort of independent website that I couldn't determine.
Speaker 1: I then try and find out.
Speaker 2: You know, I have a look where it going and
Speaker 2: I've never heard of these people before. I then go
Speaker 2: in too, con scroll down and find out about just
Speaker 2: to see are they I don't know why I trust
Speaker 2: it more if they're in this country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I feel reassured at least the reason why actually if
Speaker 2: they're shifting that it only happens outside of Australia. But
Speaker 2: I'm just feel like, if I aren't gonna be ripped off,
Speaker 2: I want it done by my own people.
Speaker 6: Support Australian scammers.
Speaker 2: These foreign scammers coming over taking our scammers jobs.
Speaker 6: Spang out order, let's March on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Rio. Are you a Monday Winter or a loser?
Speaker 6: I'm also a loser.
Speaker 7: I'm starting to realize that the house that me and
Speaker 7: my partner Will bought isn't you know, a lovely house
Speaker 7: for the two of us to enjoy, but in fact,
Speaker 7: is just a hotel for his friends and family to
Speaker 7: stay at indefinitely until the end of time. Oh no,
Speaker 7: and I am just a humble innkeeper, tending to their
Speaker 7: needs because we've only is Will your partners?
Speaker 1: He more social than you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has more friends than me, and he loves.
Speaker 1: What I found out yesterday.
Speaker 2: No matter if it's a heterosexual relationship or it's gay guys. Right,
Speaker 2: someone is in charge because I'm giving away my family
Speaker 2: couch later on, and I said to Rich do you
Speaker 2: want it?
Speaker 1: First?
Speaker 2: To was that I just need to check with Will,
Speaker 2: And I said to my wife, Oh, actually, they're also
Speaker 2: like us.
Speaker 1: There's always someone who's in charge. Yes, I don't have
Speaker 1: they just call them a top. But no, like the
Speaker 1: top end of town. That's what.
Speaker 6: Sometimes amazing tops.
Speaker 1: It's a very different business, just ready for that domain.
Speaker 2: But is he more social than you?
Speaker 7: Generally speaking, he is the decision maker in the couple.
Speaker 7: I don't have clearance to make any decisions whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like, yeah, so running a business where you've
Speaker 2: got to run any purchase over fifty dollars with you,
Speaker 2: it's a chief executive.
Speaker 7: He's a chief executive. And he is taking full advantage
Speaker 7: of this house. He's got his dad coming tonight.
Speaker 1: It's thirty I know.
Speaker 7: And then we moved in on Friday, and then on
Speaker 7: Wednesday as soon as his dad leaves, he's got three
Speaker 7: of his friends staying from Wednesday till Sunday.
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's up there.
Speaker 7: Well okay, and of course I don't have any clearance
Speaker 7: to make any decision making.
Speaker 1: We're not running the richest here where.
Speaker 6: Okay, it does feel like that. That's three plus days,
Speaker 6: and you know what.
Speaker 1: I know it.
Speaker 7: This was his plan all along. And I didn't twig
Speaker 7: because he used to talk about, oh, we used to
Speaker 7: be in a one bedroom apartment, or we can never
Speaker 7: have people over, they can never stay. I'd love to
Speaker 7: have my parents have a blah blah blah. Now I
Speaker 7: know the only reason he wanted this house. This is
Speaker 7: his plan coming to fruition, and I'm the sucker holding
Speaker 7: the bag.
Speaker 2: That is stressful when you have people staying at your place,
Speaker 2: it's a lot.
Speaker 1: And also about you guys.
Speaker 2: Unless it's an emergency, I don't want to stay over
Speaker 2: at somebody else's house.
Speaker 1: Because you're like, are they up yet?
Speaker 6: I wish you were Will's dad.
Speaker 1: All day up yet? I want to go and you know,
Speaker 1: have a coffee or am I going to wake them up?
Speaker 1: What time do they get up?
Speaker 2: And then once we had some friends stay over and
Speaker 2: it was about half ten eleven and they still hadn't.
Speaker 1: Got up, and he got about twelve.
Speaker 2: My wife said, hey, Chris, how about he just got
Speaker 2: a bang on the door and just say is everything
Speaker 2: okay in there? I kind of a strange and to
Speaker 2: say anyway, I go near the door, it's very clear
Speaker 2: that they are, Oh.
Speaker 1: No, having a good time.
Speaker 4: Oh hotel.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 2: Then I'm too scared to go back and tell my
Speaker 2: wife because I'm like, you should probably make me go
Speaker 2: and interrupt them, throw some cold water on like you
Speaker 2: would find now anyway.
Speaker 5: Oh that's just awkward, not in the middle of the
Speaker 5: day especially.
Speaker 2: I love the way that Patsy has hours under the
Speaker 2: cover of darkness.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's all right.
Speaker 2: Actually, there's a nookie curfew about that cat curfew.
Speaker 1: You can't be doing it until before seven.
Speaker 6: Pm until sundown.
Speaker 1: It's a day of rest and worship.

Speaker 7: big gripe with them that I need to share.
Speaker 6: The English cricket team.
Speaker 7: Shirts all tucked in, they all look very proper, all
Speaker 7: very well put together. The Australian team a team of
Speaker 7: cereal scruffy collars.
Speaker 1: I'm working.
Speaker 2: This is cricket. It's a game of order history. The
Speaker 2: esthetics matter.
Speaker 6: Yes, it is a gentlemanly game.
Speaker 7: And especially manus our number three batsmen, your collar is
Speaker 7: always scruffy.
Speaker 6: I just want to reach you out through the TV
Speaker 6: scream and flick it back down.
Speaker 7: Especially they've got a little yellow underside of it, so
Speaker 7: it really stands out.
Speaker 1: No, it does once you see it. You can't see it, yes.
Speaker 4: Observation like to protect his neck from the sun.
Speaker 6: Though No, no it's not. It's not fully popped up.
Speaker 7: It's just like a little side or a little this
Speaker 7: one keeping high up for it on Thursday. You will
Speaker 7: notice a scruffy collar standards.
Speaker 1: Especially in the game of crickets.
Speaker 2: And thank you though for everything that the England cricket
Speaker 2: team have capitulated on uniform standards, isn't one of them.
Speaker 1: No, they look pristine, They always look pristine. They're well presented.
Speaker 1: As the game demands.
Speaker 2: It's a game of you know, neatness and tweediness and
Speaker 2: precisions stuff like that.
Speaker 1: The Aussies do look very scarffy.
Speaker 2: They look like, you know, some eighteen year old lads
Speaker 2: who are going left formal.
Speaker 1: No one's borrow Dad's suit isn't.
Speaker 2: Quite fit right, Yeah, the tiesal one key, you know,
Speaker 2: it's got the little peanut that the proper winds are
Speaker 2: not hands onneyed.
Speaker 5: It's like a nearly forty degree day and they're wearing
Speaker 5: those thick cable knit Yeah jumpers.
Speaker 1: That's right. History demands it. History demands it.
Speaker 4: Maybe in the UK, not here.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're aready making an excuse me going
Speaker 2: to lose this weekend that cable knit sweater, Alex. What's
Speaker 2: it if you mate things that make yougo guru?
Speaker 8: When you go to the trouble of making a pot
Speaker 8: of tea, not the tea bag, a pot of tea
Speaker 8: and someone jumps the gun, doesn't let the tea stew
Speaker 8: long enough, and it tastes all watery and wake.
Speaker 1: And they talk you to a talk in my language.
Speaker 2: First of all, start the elegance in the game of cricket,
Speaker 2: and now the right kind of rules with tea. You're
Speaker 2: right when it comes out and it's all too milky,
Speaker 2: teas revolting.
Speaker 1: Oh the worst.
Speaker 2: It's got to be at least five minutes. And also,
Speaker 2: if you're going to be using a tea bot, here's
Speaker 2: how it works. You always have one tea bag for
Speaker 2: each person who's going to be drinking from it, so
Speaker 2: there's two of you. Then you know, two two tea bags.
Speaker 2: Then you have what I always was raised to have,
Speaker 2: one as a gift to the pot itself.
Speaker 1: Out, so you need do you do that? Yes? One
Speaker 1: for the pots? Well, are you darling? One for myself?
Speaker 1: You go.
Speaker 8: Bunny's dad always jumps the gun, always pause it too early.
Speaker 2: No, no, you've got to be waiting at least three
Speaker 2: to five minutes, and then I will give it three
Speaker 2: rotational clockwise, stirs as well, then put the lid back on.
Speaker 8: Then poor, well really, and do you pour it all
Speaker 8: in one go or do you put it back a bit?
Speaker 2: I pour that delicious in this breakfast or berries all
Speaker 2: in one go? Is if you like some sort of
Speaker 2: you know, tom cruise and cocktail.
Speaker 8: I sort of do it once and then I'd put
Speaker 8: it back again, just the steward a bit more and
Speaker 8: then back in again.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, maybe next year we should get
Speaker 2: designed some spoke Christian o'connells show.
Speaker 1: Just give away some tea pots. People would love those.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, can you make bespoke ones? Could someone do that?
Speaker 2: Just suddenly got this image of Josh, you joined the
Speaker 2: show yesterday from reception, suddenly just sort of painting them.
Speaker 2: You listen, you got to start in radio somewhere, Josh.
Speaker 2: You know, painting teapots is a good break for some
Speaker 2: young kid.
Speaker 6: That's where all the best dj started.
Speaker 1: That's how Stern started doing it, you know, all right?
Speaker 1: Thing to make you go.
Speaker 3: Girl, the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: By the way, I've just actually just googled bespoke tailor
Speaker 2: made teapots. I've come up with a design for the
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell's show teapots for next year. Let me picch
Speaker 2: it to you, guys. It's a teapot that are that
Speaker 2: looks like a radio. So the spout is the antenna,
Speaker 2: the lid is like the tuning die. Obviously it's old
Speaker 2: fashioned radio. Do you know when you just have to
Speaker 2: tune the radio. Then suddenly the cracker would stop and
Speaker 2: you'd hear someone's voice and stuff like that. I need
Speaker 2: to find someone listen will somewhere. Some of the prices
Speaker 2: I've seen it too expensive for this show's budget. We
Speaker 2: don't need bone china ones. We need some cheap poe
Speaker 2: alternative ceramical. What's even cheaper than that?
Speaker 6: Cheaper than cheaper than clay.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure you got any plastic ones.
Speaker 7: But what about for the handle? That's going to be
Speaker 7: a searingly hot radio to pick up? It needs some
Speaker 7: sort of handle.
Speaker 2: Well, some A lot of those radios they have some
Speaker 2: kind of carry thing, don't they. Yes, Yes, so Rio,
Speaker 2: let me just put it back to you the handle.
Speaker 1: Is the handle problem solved? Yeah? Maybe that's the show
Speaker 1: details or the website or something.
Speaker 2: Is there our socials hashtag Sharon like subscribe.
Speaker 1: Kristian things.
Speaker 2: You may go Guru now, Rio marks on the time
Speaker 2: whist they're coming for your heart today, by the way, Rio.

Speaker 2: and then he gives the big price to someone who
Speaker 2: just got a gold Yes, we are li Christian and
Speaker 2: making notes.
Speaker 7: Yes, that did happen once there was a It happens
Speaker 7: a lot. Sometimes I get flustered at the end of
Speaker 7: the show.
Speaker 1: Well, the old old mate used to do well. He
Speaker 1: was flustered during the whole show.
Speaker 2: He was flustered from Six Christian things that make me
Speaker 2: go grow and no one uses their indicators anymore. That's
Speaker 2: from Derek Naturally. Christian things that drives me crazy is
Speaker 2: the office manager at the school I working turns down
Speaker 2: the temperature on our giant mega tea earn because she
Speaker 2: doesn't feel it needs to be boiling all day and
Speaker 2: it costs sense.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, when I go.
Speaker 2: We've got we're on white people like that, it's your
Speaker 2: boss called Sue. Then I make a Are I going
Speaker 2: to make a cup of tea? Oh and if my
Speaker 2: teacher so I'm busy, I have to go to you
Speaker 2: and get a quick cup of tea. Immediately a deep,
Speaker 2: deep breath. That's just my happy thing. For a couple
Speaker 2: of seconds, sip of that tea nearly split it across
Speaker 2: the room because God no, it's lukewarm.
Speaker 1: Yes, ruins my day and the kids end up.
Speaker 2: With a grum pe teacher. Christian thing makes me go good?
Speaker 2: I don't even realize it, but apparently when I'm chewing
Speaker 2: foods loudly, my partner tells me up, but she choos
Speaker 2: chips loud like, come on, babe, you can't tell me off?
Speaker 1: Do you know what? Why don't we start.
Speaker 2: A weekly feature where people can tell their partners off.
Speaker 1: And I'm happy to do that on air.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know what this show is about, unity, about
Speaker 2: bringing people together, but maybe just once a week, just
Speaker 2: add a little bit division.
Speaker 7: Yes, no, no, no, it's healthy to get things out
Speaker 7: of there.
Speaker 2: Caleb here once says, you know, just have a little
Speaker 2: you know, just me to have a go as missus Like,
Speaker 2: come on, babe, you can't say that Caleb's chewing noisy

Speaker 1: Actually, I'm gonna make a note of a festival.
Speaker 2: My panel will die weary fast in bread Fest Kissing
Speaker 2: Cousins Fest. It is one of the one of the
Speaker 2: one of the joys of winters that you don't need
Speaker 2: to cut the grass. It just maintains that that sort
Speaker 2: of length is perfectly you're right with summer. And and
Speaker 2: also you've got a dog, same as me, Kate, and
Speaker 2: you you don't go out and cut the grass. You've
Speaker 2: gotta go and mind sweep otherwise. And I've done this
Speaker 2: summy times. Suddenly you hit a hidden, fun sized mars
Speaker 2: bar and that roby dispatches it all over your bare
Speaker 2: legs and.
Speaker 4: The smell of.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but we're having to do it like literally once

Speaker 11: Girl?
Speaker 1: You preach? That's the way that Katee is just discovered.
Speaker 15: Grass, mate, grass grows, grass grows thees a lot.
Speaker 1: What is the last thing that drives you crazy?
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Well, you went it just oh sorry, that was like
Speaker 1: a kind of spoken mic drop.
Speaker 14: Yes exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm all right, okay, Now I love.
Speaker 3: That Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: It's been googling things that you can see from space.
Speaker 2: Obviously it's a great Water China and it's Caitlin's backyard.
Speaker 1: The other thing.
Speaker 2: Obviously slily bigger than the Great Water China. This is
Speaker 2: a lovely message, Christian. I'm Mal Simpson up and listen
Speaker 2: to you via the podcast since earlier this year. I'm
Speaker 2: blind and I live in the outer Northwest suburbs of
Speaker 2: Sydney and in the footballs or the Blue Mountains. Looking
Speaker 2: forward to you guys coming here next years. Been a
Speaker 2: tough few years. Listen to you in the team always
Speaker 2: brings a spar to my face. However, I'd love to
Speaker 2: hear a lot more of Caitlin on the podcast. That's great,
Speaker 2: you're right, keep her on the podcast and less on.
Speaker 1: The big show. You're quite right.
Speaker 2: We could have more of those ideas that she comes
Speaker 2: up with. The big idea she pitched last week of
Speaker 2: a big phone in for an hour of how Long
Speaker 2: did you Wait for your flight? Let's have that as
Speaker 2: a podcast. Extra great idea. Have you time I hear
Speaker 2: a bubbly, outgoing voice, it makes me smile.
Speaker 1: We all feel all that too. That's lovely.
Speaker 2: Male things make me go Guru Christian. I can say
Speaker 2: I'm blind, so I have a support marker. When she
Speaker 2: takes from the the shop assistant always addresses my support
Speaker 2: work instead of me, like I'm invisible. The worst thing
Speaker 2: is this that when people just stop suddenly in the street,
Speaker 2: that drives all of us mad, and then my support
Speaker 2: work has to guide me around them while they just
Speaker 2: stand and stare.
Speaker 1: I reckon.
Speaker 2: If I had a support worker like Caitlin for a
Speaker 2: day and that loud personality of hers, she probably sought
Speaker 2: out a few of these rude shop assistants and a
Speaker 2: few footpath dwellers. Hey listen, if you want me to
Speaker 2: lend Caitlin to you for the day, happy to do.
Speaker 1: That a week. Hey, come on, we need the mac
Speaker 1: attack we do all right now?

Speaker 5: took my foot off him.

Speaker 2: was that look the other way, sucking the tears.

Speaker 2: on his foot and he has to have three days
Speaker 2: in hospital.
Speaker 6: Strong feet though, Yes, that's rough.
Speaker 2: Christian, My daughter stepped on a sea urchin. It took

Speaker 1: We're good, Welcome to the show. Mark. So what did
Speaker 1: you stand on?
Speaker 16: I stood on an apple while I was running, and
Speaker 16: as you can imagine, it didn't end well.
Speaker 2: Oh god, so you would have liked just gone over.
Speaker 2: I guess the momentum of you running down the apple
Speaker 2: sliding under.
Speaker 16: I heard more of a crack than wondered what it was,
Speaker 16: and then felt this atrocious pain and stopped running straight away,
Speaker 16: sat on the ground. My ankle and foot sort of
Speaker 16: blew up straight away, and long story shorts broke my
Speaker 16: foot in two places and tore all the ligaments and tendons.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you poor guy. It's awful.
Speaker 2: Once you were reading a certain age, now you fear
Speaker 2: something that's happening because you know this is a year.
Speaker 16: Oh look, to be honest, that was probably two years
Speaker 16: before my foot.
Speaker 17: Yes, what I call normal again?
Speaker 1: Yes, what's the pink that's going to be? Granny Smith?
Speaker 17: Absolutely no idea.
Speaker 16: I didn't off and sort of analyze what's wrong.

Speaker 2: break or lunchtime or something.
Speaker 1: But my money's on a Granny Smith. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2: They're double basters, those grannies that are nonnas of the
Speaker 2: apple world. You do not mess with the Granny Smith.
Speaker 2: They will snap your tendence off.
Speaker 16: Stonefish what I called the apple, but I'm sure it's
Speaker 16: not a variety that's not common.
Speaker 1: Love it mark, great story, Thank you very much.
Speaker 18: I have a good day.
Speaker 6: Thanks guys.
Speaker 2: No, it is I dread now, like even going up

Speaker 2: if I've fallen off this thing, it's a year of recovery.
Speaker 2: You know, I hurt my arm early this year, and
Speaker 2: it's I just have to accept the fact I'm never
Speaker 2: ever going to be one hundred percent for the rest
Speaker 2: of my life.
Speaker 6: Is this when you went on the monkey bars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just doing the parallel gyps rio.

Speaker 2: could punch off limbs. Now science and medicine can't app
Speaker 2: you mate.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, small girl.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they got microscopes and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: When he broke his toe and then he smacked it again.
Speaker 6: The doctor can only help you so much.
Speaker 1: I love all the heart.
Speaker 2: This this all went on where your family are asleep.
Speaker 2: It's three am. You're a guy, bring your toe. It's
Speaker 2: a great story, and you're right that that three four
Speaker 2: am is when mums and dads are at highest risk
Speaker 2: of standing on lego. I once trod on the head
Speaker 2: of a baby Annabelle and twisted my ankle really woody badly.
Speaker 2: Baby Annabell was this toy that was around about I
Speaker 2: don't know, about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: What was a freaky.
Speaker 2: Doll that was marketed as been just like an actual
Speaker 2: baby and so had this horrible sort of glassy blinky eyes,
Speaker 2: and it would also wet itself.
Speaker 6: What would that be good?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I trod on this thing about after in
Speaker 2: the morning once and sadly, with the impact of my foot,
Speaker 2: it snapped its head off.
Speaker 1: So I then had to leave and go and do
Speaker 1: the breakfast show. And so do take it? This is
Speaker 1: you could you not have tried to repair it?
Speaker 2: You can't let the baby animals accidently decapitated. The kids
Speaker 2: are crying and screaming. Plus I hated Baby Annabelle. The
Speaker 2: kids thought I just got up one more, just.
Speaker 1: Snap his nke off. They're going to be in therapy
Speaker 1: for years.

Speaker 2: Hard to get rid of, my speakers, But this is
Speaker 2: the couch. This couch has been in my family for
Speaker 2: ten years. When we moved here, got shoved into a
Speaker 2: ship and container because it was the Count when I
Speaker 2: when I first got this Count is a beautiful velvet
Speaker 2: four seater Chesterfield.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you're not on talking about, and Alex.
Speaker 2: Will not chester Beans one of those grand old woman's handmade.
Speaker 2: And so when we got this couch ten years ago,
Speaker 2: my daughters Ruby and Lewis were nine and eleven. They're
Speaker 2: now nineteen and twenty one. And this is my wife
Speaker 2: and I on this way too big a couch. It
Speaker 2: is a couch of a thousand stories. And in fact,
Speaker 2: I remember a couple of weeks after my first daughter
Speaker 2: moved out and it was just me on the couch.
Speaker 2: It was, oh my god, this is the beginning of
Speaker 2: the next phase of our life. I was trotting and
Speaker 2: finding the remote control, and I was going down the
Speaker 2: back of the cushions and I found a folded up
Speaker 2: Calipo wrapper. Now, previously both the kids would just dump
Speaker 2: their wrappers on the counch.
Speaker 1: She used to drive me crazy. This It actually touched me.
Speaker 1: I was like, my god, it's still there. I put
Speaker 1: it back down there. I'm going to keep the wrapper
Speaker 1: down there.
Speaker 2: So what I'd love to do is we were just
Speaker 2: going to put it on Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go into a stranger. It's still
Speaker 1: in great condition.
Speaker 2: It's very clear where I sat on the couch, and
Speaker 2: by one of that means I've.
Speaker 1: Got very powerful glutes.
Speaker 6: I can see that. Actually in the phono, my.
Speaker 2: Wife caused me glutamus maximus, but that's between us. But
Speaker 2: it's very clear the indentation where my area was far right,
Speaker 2: always on the fire right. So I'd like my family
Speaker 2: and I would really love to give this couch to
Speaker 2: a family that have got kids, and you're gonna make
Speaker 2: your own Stories're gonna have birthdays on. They're gonna laugh
Speaker 2: on their watch movies, laugh, cry, argue Christmas as we've
Speaker 2: had on there. They all set the couch. I sit
Speaker 2: opposite the couch picking up all the wrapping paper and
Speaker 2: folding into bin bag.
Speaker 1: Dad is an official dad job.
Speaker 2: So to help sell this to the future family, and
Speaker 2: this would be a couch for someone's Christmas this year.
Speaker 2: So We've had so many stories on this couch. What
Speaker 2: would be the new story of this couch? Have you
Speaker 2: got two young boys, you've got girls? What have you got?
Speaker 2: So if you'd like a beautiful family couch, there's been
Speaker 2: a great home for us when watching hanging out together
Speaker 2: for last ten years. We'd love it to go to
Speaker 2: a family or anyone who wants it. It's in great condition.
Speaker 2: It's a big old beast tune off meters. It's a
