Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 2: Rio has some incredible story about something he forgot to
Speaker 2: pack over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I didn't forget to pack it. I want
Speaker 3: that on the record. I was at a music festival
Speaker 3: over the weekend in gem Brook. It was a camping festival,
Speaker 3: so obviously you need a tent. So he got there
Speaker 3: on Friday, starting to heat up. My partner Will pulls
Speaker 3: out the tent bag. I'm like, oh, yeah, can you
Speaker 3: pass the flys that? Yeah, past the flyers, all right?
Speaker 3: Can you chuck over the tent poles? He goes ten poles,
Speaker 3: tent poles, starts I can see like the panic racing
Speaker 3: around in his eyes. Starts scrubbing around. He didn't bring
Speaker 3: the tent poles.
Speaker 4: But surety, as you're handling the tent bag, you would
Speaker 4: feel you would think. So you think that when you're
Speaker 4: they clank. As you're moving the tent bank, they clank.
Speaker 3: There's so many times for it to clank, from when
Speaker 3: we were putting it into the car. Initially you think
Speaker 3: this is a very light tent bag. It just feels
Speaker 3: like ah, but no, no, no, no, no, no thoughts
Speaker 3: like that went through his brain.
Speaker 2: So then, so what did you do while your camping
Speaker 2: at a festival to two days?
Speaker 4: We didn't know.
Speaker 3: All we had to do was we.
Speaker 4: Got the state of this tent.
Speaker 2: By the way, there's a photo. It looks like Dama's there.
Speaker 5: So you just tried to like string it up to true.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like a marionette.
Speaker 2: We got tent. It does look sad. It's like a
Speaker 2: deflated party balloon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was only like barely off the ground. So
Speaker 3: the whole night as well, the tent is like flapping
Speaker 3: against you.
Speaker 2: When you try and sleep at a festival anywhere, it's
Speaker 2: never the best night sleep anywhere because especially in the tent,
Speaker 2: because the moment the sun comes up comes beaming into
Speaker 2: that tent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so low that it's just a crawl face.
Speaker 4: Was it like, what's it like on your face?
Speaker 3: If there was any breeze, it would just go and
Speaker 3: it's life on my face the whole time. It was
Speaker 3: so annoying.
Speaker 5: I was surprised you did more than one night.
Speaker 2: Early. Did you not think about seeing if you can
Speaker 2: borrow a pole from somebody, a poll from somebody else,
Speaker 2: and they all all suffer together.
Speaker 4: No, no one was willing to. He was all on.
Speaker 3: We had to suffer all the consequences.
Speaker 2: Do not think like bear girls have been there, he
Speaker 2: would have started to get like tree branches prop it
Speaker 2: up like that.
Speaker 3: We got two tree branches for two of them.
Speaker 4: Like twigs.
Speaker 2: I've seen the discarded twigs around the around the entrance
Speaker 2: to that is going to get.
Speaker 4: A fear very low structure. We're getting some wasted here. Anyway,
Speaker 4: it doesn't really matter as it was as dry exactly.
Speaker 5: We did stay dry, but we did have a tent
Speaker 5: on our face the whole two nights. I tried to
Speaker 5: go camping with Bianca once, and my dad took us
Speaker 5: camping every year when we were kids, so I thought
Speaker 5: I knew exactly what I was doing. It wasn't until
Speaker 5: I got there. I was like, oh wait a second.
Speaker 5: I just went camping and Dad organized everything that we
Speaker 5: needed so we didn't have him have matches to start
Speaker 5: a fire.
Speaker 4: I had to go for the how did you think
Speaker 4: you were going to? Like drink?
Speaker 5: We had the tent and that was pretty much.
Speaker 2: You're right there, are you are the you are the
Speaker 2: camping people or you're not. And if you're our camper.
Speaker 2: They've got all the gear, haven't they, And that that
Speaker 2: it's all stored in boxes in the garage. It's like
Speaker 2: an elite military operation. If you're not you can't be
Speaker 2: a amateur at that. All right, So what did you
Speaker 2: forget to pack?
Speaker 4: Ber? You're listening to the Christian o'conles show podcast. What
Speaker 4: have you forgotten to pack? Patsy? This ever happened to you?
Speaker 6: Yes it has. We were going back home to wen Gretta,
Speaker 6: where we're from, three four hours away. Didn't realize un
Speaker 6: till I got there I'd completely forgotten to put my
Speaker 6: entire duffle bag in the car. Had nothing, not a
Speaker 6: brass razu.
Speaker 4: So is that what did you think?
Speaker 1: That? Was?
Speaker 4: Christ your husband? The word I be loved God?
Speaker 2: That you strike me as the kind of person that
Speaker 2: doesn't dirty her hands with the packing of the car.
Speaker 2: Missus O'Connell's a bit like that. She simply sort of
Speaker 2: waits inside the house having a cup of tea, and
Speaker 2: she goes, is everything Jensen?
Speaker 4: Have you? Yes, ma'am? The car's warming for.
Speaker 5: Your wife will put stuff at the front door, which
Speaker 5: suggests yes, this will need to get.
Speaker 4: The man will do the longest night.
Speaker 6: It's more about the man not letting the woman pack
Speaker 6: the car because no one packs it as good as dating.
Speaker 2: This is so no one packs it as well as
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 4: No one positive reinforcement. You do that with dogs. Sarah's
Speaker 4: got one of those little clickers. I get a treat.
Speaker 6: I'm allowed to touch it. I can't put anything in
Speaker 6: the boot because he's got his system and no one's allowed.
Speaker 2: I do have a system. Actually, I actually enjoy packing.
Speaker 2: It's like a puzzle. It's like Jenger. I love getting
Speaker 2: out there and I get all the backs out and
Speaker 2: look at them, look at the available space, and then
Speaker 2: the matrix. In my mind, I run the numbers, no,
Speaker 2: fund them again. Yes, and they're still viewing space for
Speaker 2: the for the mirror's genius.
Speaker 7: Is that great?
Speaker 4: It's that bad.
Speaker 6: We'll be in the supermarket car park and he'll have
Speaker 6: a look at someone's boot and under his breath you'll go, O, heathens,
Speaker 6: look how.
Speaker 4: They've packed the I do that. I judge.
Speaker 2: I judge bad boot pack as I do. There's no
Speaker 2: way they can see clearly out the back. There a
Speaker 2: little tunnel that should always be left clear. And you
Speaker 2: get in the seat and I check and go binger
Speaker 2: no obstructions, no obstructions. And then sometimes when the kids go,
Speaker 2: they go, can I just chuck some about No no no
Speaker 2: no no.
Speaker 5: No no no no no whoa no that troubles you do?
Speaker 4: Now put it by your feet, use it as a pillow.
Speaker 4: All right? Where were we?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: What have you forgotten to pack? Nine four one four
Speaker 2: one oh four three Melissa food to Sydney for show.
Speaker 2: Left the tickets behind. Now I'm guessing this is back
Speaker 2: in the day where if you didn't have the tickets,
Speaker 2: you won't coming in there's no QR code, or I've
Speaker 2: got the email hanging I just get up on my phone.
Speaker 2: That was like tickets or you didn't get into show,
Speaker 2: just brutal uh. Pam checked into a motel to shower
Speaker 2: and change before going to a wedding.
Speaker 4: Then they realized they left their outfit.
Speaker 2: I've always wondered as anyone ever done something like that.
Speaker 4: Then frantically you're like, ring out, what time is it?
Speaker 4: Can we go and buy Christian? We went away for
Speaker 4: the weekend. This is Donna. We went away through the weekend,
Speaker 4: left the suitcases at home. How does this happen? I

Speaker 8: the other fella, and I'm not even name and shame him,
Speaker 8: Andrew McKenzie aka Macha. We're on our way down to
Speaker 8: Wilson's Promontory Lighthouse. That's a twenty k hike. So it
Speaker 8: wasn't until we're were on our return trip from the
Speaker 8: lighthouse that we got to a spot which we thought
Speaker 8: would suitable to set the ten up. And I looked
Speaker 8: at him and said, you set the turne up, I'll
Speaker 8: do the hard yards. I'll go get the firewood. He
Speaker 8: looked at me and said, you set the ten up.
Speaker 1: I'll get the fire.
Speaker 5: What was the miscommunication?
