Speaker 1: I'd fallen over because the noises were, like she said,
Speaker 1: an animal in distress, And it was an animal in distress.
Speaker 1: I've never done a spin glass in my life. Right
Speaker 1: half an hour inter this thing, I was red face veins,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of throbbing and stuff like that. Oh God,
Speaker 1: chriss so I had to then promise her I've had
Speaker 1: to I had to buy one of these watches that
Speaker 1: you know you can sort of track your heart rate.
Speaker 1: I've got no prexisting conditions. And not only that, if
Speaker 1: I'm using it in the house alone, I have to
Speaker 1: text my wife afterwards. I stood alive. Don't do it
Speaker 1: big and have a heart attack exactly. She saw that Patsy,
Speaker 1: she thought, well, that's him, but not the mister big part,

Speaker 1: He's my main ride. I just ride with Dennis every time.
Speaker 1: I actually started to form quite a very strong bond
Speaker 1: with Dennis. Where the other day I googled him to
Speaker 1: find her if he was married, and I'm joking, right,
Speaker 1: if he came to my house and went, hey, Christian,
Speaker 1: you know it's Dennis here, come with me. They're starting
Speaker 1: new life together. I'm going in a heartbeat. I actually
Speaker 1: think this is who I'm probably meant to be with.
Speaker 1: And thanks than cute, Sarah for twenty four years of marriage.
Speaker 1: It got me here to meet Dennis This has always
Speaker 1: been me and Dennis to actually do peloton classes together,
Speaker 1: to ride out together. Patsy ageslf with a waist online purchase.

Speaker 1: suddenly you've got like ten times strength. It's a rubber
Speaker 1: glove and it's got like this grips sort of surface.
Speaker 1: On those advertised ons from sexy Land, I think I
Speaker 1: don't think there's opening jars and.
Speaker 2: You gotta wear the heart rate monitor for that one.
Speaker 1: Well, it takes my life after it's done. Can you
Speaker 1: wrap your fingers around the jar? That's right? Yes, it
Speaker 1: said the same thing on the description and loosen off
Speaker 1: the lid. No, Hell, okay, things have gone about oufhand.

Speaker 1: the radio. Could you just please call up an age
Speaker 1: in yourself with a recent online purchase. This is the
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show podcast talking about eBay, how it came
Speaker 1: along in the nineties and changed our lives today. Asking
Speaker 1: you age yourself with a recent online purchase, Jack, what's
Speaker 1: it for you?
Speaker 2: I bought a draft excluder. Oh yeah, fabric like door snake,
Speaker 2: double sided doorstake, really because he lives on both sides
Speaker 2: of the door. Ye for an internal door because it
Speaker 2: was getting a little bit drafty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a draft is only something you've become aware
Speaker 1: of once you get over thirty. You know, in your
Speaker 1: teenage years and twenties you're immune to a draft. Suddenly
Speaker 1: one day DNA gets activated. The moment you start sort
Speaker 1: of click there yet the clock goes over your thirties
Speaker 1: and you go, is there a wit you do?
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 1: Is there a window opening? It's like a doors open.
Speaker 2: It does start to bug you, doesn't this? I must
Speaker 2: do something about that right through the bones?
Speaker 1: No one, And therefore you're ordering a draft excluder. One day,
Speaker 1: higgo who works here? There's a brilliant drivetime show starting

Speaker 1: through right here, go if I started to require some
Speaker 1: kind of machinery to crunch it up to create more room,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's the way it goes. With a
Speaker 1: wall mounted can crush. It feels out what Biff would
Speaker 1: have from back to the future if he was middle
Speaker 1: age now a crush Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that says something about your age

Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh, I've had two pairs of sketches over six years.
Speaker 3: I'm about to buy my third Set'll be exactly the
Speaker 3: same sketches I've had before my first ones. And I
Speaker 3: was a sketcher skeptic to begin with.
Speaker 1: This is great a support group, Christian I was a
Speaker 1: sketcher skeptic.
Speaker 3: The sketches are casual looking foot where they're not. They
Speaker 3: don't look like a runner, They're like a canvas. I
Speaker 3: were my first pair for a couple of years, and
Speaker 3: as I got a bit threadbare, they ended up in
Speaker 3: the launchy in my outdoor shoes. And I have another
Speaker 3: pair that I wear casually inside and out and the belt,
Speaker 3: and they were They're good.
Speaker 1: Enough for being comfortable on your feet outside.
Speaker 5: Fantastic.
Speaker 3: They are fantastic. You need to put your feet.
Speaker 1: In some you know what I'm coming, I'm coming shopping
Speaker 1: with you, and what one would you recommend?
Speaker 3: I go for the casual canvas. They're like a bluey
Speaker 3: gray color and they look like a casual shoe. They
Speaker 3: don't look like a runner, and they are really super comfty.
Speaker 3: You won't take them off. You'll be wearing them to work.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And what makes it that extra.
Speaker 3: Cock they're very They're not super supportive, but they don't
Speaker 3: need to be. They're very soft underfoot, and they're padded
Speaker 3: the whole way around the foot, so wherever you're shore's paddingange.
Speaker 1: They are beautiful.
Speaker 2: Why do you need padding on the side of your
Speaker 2: foot though you're not stepping on the side of you
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 1: Hug for your foot, isn't it when you get the
Speaker 1: side you cut into that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're very comfortable and super light, so that combination
Speaker 3: is unbootable.
Speaker 1: You're quite right. Actually I did have a pair of
Speaker 1: diving boots once and they were comfortable, but just really
Speaker 1: hard to get upstairs.
Speaker 3: Probably comfortable gum boots because they're not.
