Speaker 1: Hi day, Hello, Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: All right, so well we've got the still trending where
Speaker 2: it's kind of like the second part of the hangover
Speaker 2: from yesterday's three topic Tuesday. Things you couldn't go anywhere
Speaker 2: near in your home? For me, it was all about
Speaker 2: the music center, that massive music center that used to
Speaker 2: be the entire length of the front room wall, and
Speaker 2: it was the settings on the graphic equalizer. Couldn't go
Speaker 2: anywhere near that. That was my dad's domain. So what couldn't
Speaker 2: you touch at home? Patsy? Please share what you said?
Speaker 2: Was yesterdabout your dad and what he had a collection of.
Speaker 3: Oh, his tobacco pipes. He had a collection of tobacco
Speaker 3: pipes and they were placed very carefully on mum's lovely
Speaker 3: wooden sideboard. But he had them at a certain angle,
Speaker 3: so he knew that if you'd fiddled picked one up,
Speaker 3: or if my brothers tried to smoke one, he knew
Speaker 3: because they're on an exact sort of right angle.
Speaker 2: Things parents had as well. Sideboards. Do we still have
Speaker 2: sideboards the younger generation? Jackie, you still loving a sideboard?
Speaker 2: Because sideboard the phrase side board means your nan and
Speaker 2: granddad and your mom doesn't it it's a it's a certain phrase.
Speaker 4: The sideboard my mum and dad's sideboard was this old
Speaker 4: sewing machine that I guess got passed down through the families,
Speaker 4: one of the ones where it still had the foot
Speaker 4: pedales where you could bring. Yeah, and then they use
Speaker 4: that as their sideboard.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I obviously chat to my mum now in England
Speaker 2: is via zoom every week and I still I always
Speaker 2: ask her to sit just in front of the old
Speaker 2: sideboard because it just reminds me of still being a kid.
Speaker 5: Mom.
Speaker 2: She sits just in front of the sideboard that has
Speaker 2: been there since I was a young kid. Yeah, sideboards
Speaker 2: and nest of occasionals. Those tables within tables within tables,
Speaker 2: things that only exist in you naningrad. Yes, that's it.
Speaker 2: You don't see them in home. We've got a nest
Speaker 2: of occasionals. I'd never have a thing that was a
Speaker 2: table that a smaller table another too.
Speaker 4: What was the need why did Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because it didn't get used.
Speaker 4: You couldn't keep stuff on those smaller tables because they
Speaker 4: had to shift back under the.
Speaker 2: Y had the umber lumpas come around for to watch
Speaker 2: the game. Or something. You might need some different smaller
Speaker 2: ones and smaller ones and smaller ones. Anyway, what couldn't
Speaker 2: you touch in your house? Growing up on Facebook? In
Speaker 2: the lounge room. In the lounge room, we were never
Speaker 2: allowed to walk on the carpet. Sorry, Paul, I don't
Speaker 2: levitate on it.
Speaker 4: It's insane.
Speaker 2: I need to walk on the carpet.
Speaker 4: Just do a running jump land on the couch.
Speaker 2: Karen. We couldn't go anywhere near mum's good scissors. This
Speaker 2: came up a lot yesterday. I didn't know that. You're
Speaker 2: right though, when you think about it, Mum did have
Speaker 2: her good scissors. You had the crappy ones. Lenny Christian,
Speaker 2: it sounds like we had a very similar upbringing. The
Speaker 2: thing that I could never go anywhere near was the
Speaker 2: lawn mower. Yeah, it was the same for me. My
Speaker 2: dad actually told me it was more dangerous than a
Speaker 2: helicopter blade. Yeah, never go near the lawnmower, like I
Speaker 2: was going to start the lawnmarp anyway, start cutting grass
Speaker 2: for the neighbors. Melanie Dad's throne. It was an ugly
Speaker 2: orange velvet chair that was really really comfortable and strategically.
Speaker 2: Nickx tol the fireplace, but you were never allowed to
Speaker 2: sit in it. Well, Melanie, we had this amazing one
Speaker 2: yesterday from a listener called Dave, who their dad's chair.
Speaker 2: You were allowed to sit in it only once a
Speaker 2: year on your birthday whilst everyone sang you Happy birthday,
Speaker 2: and then you were ejected from the chair outside out,
Speaker 2: get out, that's dad's chair, all right? What couldn't you
Speaker 2: touch in your home? In your house at home when
Speaker 2: you were grown up nine one o four three. The

Speaker 1: Christian the Christian o'connells show podcast listening about the house
Speaker 1: that you grew up in.
Speaker 2: How there were sideboards. It's just just the word the
Speaker 2: phrase the image sideboard says to me, Mom and dad.
Speaker 2: Same with those that thing called a nest of occasionals,
Speaker 2: which was a table, smaller table within it and in
Speaker 2: a smaller table with than that one as Russian dolls,
Speaker 2: and Patsy just came to the studio during that song,
Speaker 2: so that she has not one, not two, but three sideboards.
Speaker 5: Yes, correct?
Speaker 3: Does that make me a nana?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, you're just keeping these traditions going.
Speaker 3: Just when we moved into the house, I had this
Speaker 3: thing for like antique furniture, for like thirty style blackwood furniture.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you know what'd be really nice? I think
Speaker 2: it'd be grateful. We could for the next kind of
Speaker 2: breakfast show merchandise if we could give away sideboards. Mine
Speaker 2: have a show sideboard. Okay, we need to have a
Speaker 2: look on gum tree or hard rubbish. If you're ever
Speaker 2: getting rid of a sideboard, let us know. Okay, please
Speaker 2: give it to this breakfast show. We could get some
Speaker 2: young artists or something. There's so many great ones here
Speaker 2: who could customize it, all right, and then we give
Speaker 2: them always show.
Speaker 4: We paint your face on the sideboard, and.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes that's pretty cool with it, put the gold
Speaker 2: logo on them. But show sideboards. It's a future of
Speaker 2: merch I watch this space, all right, Let's go to

Speaker 2: I'm good mate, you're having a good week, Yes.
Speaker 5: I am, thank you all right, so great.
Speaker 2: Growing up? What couldn't you touch?
Speaker 5: When we were growing up, my father was a member
Speaker 5: of the Freemasons and he had a black briefcase. Now,
Speaker 5: we were never allowed to shoop, we were never allowed
Speaker 5: to know what was in it. So I used to
Speaker 5: ask my mum and she'd say that secret men's business.
Speaker 5: So we never ever knew. And when he passed away,
Speaker 5: my twin sister and I opened it and in it
Speaker 5: was a pair of white gloves and a Bible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, they're so secretive, the Freemasons.
Speaker 2: They are around for all the world.
Speaker 3: The Freemasons, they normally keep there a printing. There was there,
Speaker 3: no an there.
Speaker 5: You don't get an apron unless you're a master, which
Speaker 5: I learned later on from my husband's father was a Mason,
Speaker 5: so they usually would keep their jewels in it, special
Speaker 5: jewels they get awarded as they move up the masonry.
Speaker 3: My dad was a master, my grandfather. Yes, oh wow,
Speaker 3: where do you think the old Godfather?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they called it the Freemasons, but you know the
Speaker 2: police known as the Godfather family.
Speaker 4: Boo me into that chiropractice the way of the freemace.
Speaker 2: Case with their jewels and gloves, hurting gloves, so it's
Speaker 2: big black leather gloves are busting people up, all right.
Speaker 5: It was a good excuse to just go for the
Speaker 5: boys to get together for a drink.
Speaker 2: It probably wasn't even a freemason, just had a couple
Speaker 2: of those things just to make it look like that.
Speaker 2: Let's go to I hope I pronounced this right, is it? Yepper?
Speaker 6: That is spot on, mate, Thank.
Speaker 2: You very much. Yepper. What couldn't you go anywhere near
Speaker 2: when you've grown up? What weren't you allowed to touch?
Speaker 6: We were not allowed to touch when we were driving
Speaker 6: and sitting in the back seat in my grandmother's car,
Speaker 6: we weren't allowed to touch the dials for the settings for
Speaker 6: the seats, well, the front seats. Yeah, because she told
Speaker 6: us that if we did while the car was moving,
Speaker 6: it would roll over.
Speaker 2: That's that's amazing when I've not heard that before, But yeah,
Speaker 2: I can imagine. It was just it was just when
Speaker 2: nowadays this all electronic, isn't it. You move the little
Speaker 2: buttons forward and backwards for the settings on the seats
Speaker 2: and it was just that that round dial.
Speaker 4: I've still got that twist one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be careful Jack, don't make around that too much.
