I know it's thirty one tomorrow and I 0:01:47.205 --> 0:01:49.605 think today is twenty five, but let me double check that. 0:01:49.885 --> 0:01:53.845 Listen ready for the show as head of news, have 0:01:53.885 --> 0:01:55.005 all the news ready. 0:01:55.645 --> 0:01:56.565 It's actually is. 0:01:56.525 --> 0:01:59.645 It's buried under in a handbag somewhere. 0:01:59.325 --> 0:02:01.285 And my lipstick under my bits of paper. 0:02:01.525 --> 0:02:03.685 He's on a different tap to the team won. 0:02:04.285 --> 0:02:07.765 Mostly Sunday twenty two, the same tomorrow, but thirty one tomorrow. 0:02:08.044 --> 0:02:13.365 Oh so summer finally here now, finally here about time. 0:02:13.605 --> 0:02:16.765 Yesterday we finally closed the door on our family home 0:02:16.885 --> 0:02:19.285 since we moved to Australia. Big moment for my wife 0:02:19.285 --> 0:02:21.805 and I when you're suddenly confronted with just a shell. 0:02:22.325 --> 0:02:25.285 It's just a shell, and suddenly your voices already echo 0:02:25.405 --> 0:02:28.605 as well because there's no furniture. There's literally nothing there. 0:02:28.885 --> 0:02:31.885 By the way, my wife said, must have said twenty times, 0:02:32.485 --> 0:02:33.845 you don't need to go and check in all the 0:02:33.885 --> 0:02:35.885 drawers and stuff like that. I've been through this house 0:02:35.925 --> 0:02:38.325 a million times. I found a drawer with all of 0:02:38.365 --> 0:02:41.845 our passports. Oh no, so they buy the house and 0:02:41.845 --> 0:02:46.365 our identities, Sarah, what about this lower draw It's the 0:02:46.405 --> 0:02:49.125 same in every hotel we ever stay in. Christ You 0:02:49.165 --> 0:02:50.805 don't need to check all the drawers. It's always that 0:02:50.885 --> 0:02:55.285 lower one. Phone charges in here. Yeah, all of our passports, 0:02:55.325 --> 0:02:58.125 medicaire cards. It was like we were spies. We were 0:02:58.125 --> 0:03:01.085 burning it, all your identities with the new house. 0:03:01.205 --> 0:03:03.365 Oh lucky that you were there, Christian. 0:03:03.765 --> 0:03:05.365 So as we were closed the door and sticking about 0:03:05.365 --> 0:03:07.125 this family home, you know, that's been our home since 0:03:07.165 --> 0:03:10.125 we moved here seven years ago. So much, you know, 0:03:10.205 --> 0:03:11.765 might not sound like a lot for a family home 0:03:11.845 --> 0:03:13.725 to be their seven years, but when you think about 0:03:13.765 --> 0:03:16.525 when we moved here, my daughters were just about to 0:03:16.565 --> 0:03:20.045 become teenagers. They're now nineteen and twenty one. They don't 0:03:20.045 --> 0:03:22.605 live at home with us anymore, they're at university. And 0:03:22.645 --> 0:03:24.925 then there's the two years that everybody lost in Melbourne 0:03:24.925 --> 0:03:28.605 with lockdown as well. A lot has happened in this house. 0:03:28.925 --> 0:03:30.845 And so anyway, as we're saying goodbye to our wife, 0:03:30.885 --> 0:03:33.965 wasn't really really emotional, so I thought, she needs a 0:03:34.045 --> 0:03:38.765 cheering up, she needs a premium steak dinner. 0:03:39.005 --> 0:03:39.925 Oh beautiful. 0:03:40.005 --> 0:03:43.085 I treat my lady right, which is why I've booked 0:03:43.085 --> 0:03:45.365 as a table at Squire's Loft. 0:03:45.485 --> 0:03:47.245 Oh gorgeous. 0:03:47.245 --> 0:03:50.725 Oh my god, that's steak and what they also do. Alex, 0:03:50.765 --> 0:03:52.485 I don't know if you've ever had the honor yet 0:03:52.605 --> 0:03:55.245 since you moved here to go, you've got to get 0:03:55.245 --> 0:03:58.045 that change. You've got to go to Squire's Loft. There's 0:03:58.085 --> 0:04:00.445 something old school about it. Put it this way, right, 0:04:00.485 --> 0:04:02.725 They had a side of a jack of potato. I've 0:04:02.765 --> 0:04:04.965 not seen that on a menu in many, many years, 0:04:05.045 --> 0:04:08.805 right since the nineties. I had a ribby steak and 0:04:09.405 --> 0:04:13.445 side instead of a salad of a jacket potato. Yes, drown, 0:04:13.645 --> 0:04:17.125 but oh my god, this incredible old school mushroom sauce 0:04:17.885 --> 0:04:21.605 in one of those silver school canteen boaty things. Oh yeah, 0:04:21.885 --> 0:04:22.605 oh my god. 0:04:22.605 --> 0:04:26.164 It was so good in chips on the side. 0:04:26.364 --> 0:04:28.684 No, the jack of potato was a proper jacket potato. 0:04:28.724 --> 0:04:31.404 Pat You can't double up with cabs? What's up with 0:04:31.445 --> 0:04:32.964 this guy? What do you want to do? Blow up 0:04:33.005 --> 0:04:38.005 for Christmas? And chips? Two jack of potatoes. 0:04:39.125 --> 0:04:41.485 When the state came. Did have all those beautiful criss 0:04:41.484 --> 0:04:42.125 crosses on it. 0:04:42.364 --> 0:04:43.445 Yes, looked from the grill. 0:04:43.645 --> 0:04:46.124 Yes, the lattice affects you has quite an art. Oh 0:04:46.164 --> 0:04:48.765 my god, it was so good. Also, by the way, 0:04:48.844 --> 0:04:52.364 proper old school places this. When I was booking it online, 0:04:53.164 --> 0:04:55.325 you had to agree sort of check the terms conditions. 0:04:55.685 --> 0:05:00.325 We do not allow split tips and good someone has 0:05:00.445 --> 0:05:04.445 kicked off there. They've had too many bogans fighting there 0:05:04.604 --> 0:05:07.645 over the over a split menu of the split bill 0:05:07.645 --> 0:05:09.604 with it to have that in the tees and seas 0:05:09.964 --> 0:05:12.484 says that this is a thing. Also, everybody else that 0:05:12.565 --> 0:05:15.964 was there last night Wednesday night Christmas parties, of course 0:05:16.885 --> 0:05:19.804 it was full of like long tables and some dull 0:05:19.844 --> 0:05:23.365 guy getting up obviously the boss doing these speeches that 0:05:23.404 --> 0:05:27.645 no one was listening to. Oh my god, it was 0:05:27.844 --> 0:05:30.284 so good. Now, one thing in the move at the 0:05:30.284 --> 0:05:33.124 moment this week I'm worried about is obviously our life 0:05:33.205 --> 0:05:35.085 is this couple boxes and counsel. At the moment, I 0:05:35.164 --> 0:05:38.484 have forgotten where I'm worried that I've actually lost in 0:05:38.525 --> 0:05:42.604 the move. The Christmas presents. You know, I think most 0:05:42.645 --> 0:05:44.685 of us have a go to place. Don't we are 0:05:44.724 --> 0:05:48.005 hiding place. Yes, I don't know that we've only you 0:05:48.044 --> 0:05:49.765 know it's only our third night in the new place. 0:05:49.844 --> 0:05:51.765 Last night, I don't know the new hiding place. I 0:05:51.804 --> 0:05:55.645 don't even know where the presents are. They're so well hidden. 0:05:55.724 --> 0:05:57.325 I don't know where they are. Where do you hide 0:05:57.325 --> 0:05:57.724 the bets? 0:05:57.804 --> 0:05:58.685 I do it all the time. 0:05:58.765 --> 0:06:00.605 At the moment, I have got them in the car 0:06:00.724 --> 0:06:04.804 boot because I'll tell you why, Because Chris and Audrey 0:06:04.844 --> 0:06:08.124 always sniffed them out, and so I thought they'll never 0:06:08.164 --> 0:06:11.364 look in the car boot. And I am notorious for 0:06:11.445 --> 0:06:14.204 doing that as well. Where I will hide a present, 0:06:14.445 --> 0:06:17.245 where I will you know no one will find it. 0:06:17.325 --> 0:06:19.964 I'll know exactly where it is, only I forget where 0:06:19.964 --> 0:06:23.724 it is. I found an old rocking horse that we'd 0:06:23.765 --> 0:06:26.005 got for Audrey when she was about eighteen months old, 0:06:26.044 --> 0:06:28.244 I'm not kidding you, in a car boot up in 0:06:28.364 --> 0:06:31.885 the roof space and that's creasey. She was like eight 0:06:32.005 --> 0:06:34.645 or nine at the time. And I thought, oh, that's right, 0:06:34.685 --> 0:06:36.725 we got her a rocking horse that Christmas. She never 0:06:36.765 --> 0:06:38.205 got it because you. 0:06:38.284 --> 0:06:40.724 Forgot about a misplaced and in time, those rocky horses 0:06:40.765 --> 0:06:41.645 are huge. 0:06:41.525 --> 0:06:44.804 Totally forgot about it, this beautiful handmade rocking horse that 0:06:44.844 --> 0:06:47.525 we got at this sort of bespoke market when she 0:06:47.645 --> 0:06:48.044 was little. 0:06:48.284 --> 0:06:50.164 I thought, oh, I sure love that. Totally forgot we 0:06:50.205 --> 0:06:51.964 had it, found it up in the roof space. 0:06:52.205 --> 0:06:53.045 Did you give it to her now? 0:06:53.364 --> 0:06:53.404 No? 0:06:53.565 --> 0:06:55.805 No, I got it. 0:06:55.885 --> 0:07:00.124 Teenagers do not want They would probably still light the 0:07:00.205 --> 0:07:02.044 rocking horse, but they won't be want to be seen 0:07:02.125 --> 0:07:03.364 to asking for a rocking horse. 0:07:03.445 --> 0:07:05.804 No, but I do it all the time. 0:07:05.885 --> 0:07:07.485 I think I'm going to put in a really safe 0:07:07.525 --> 0:07:11.085 space so I don't lose it, but inevitably I totally forget. 0:07:11.085 --> 0:07:12.925 Where are Yeah, I'm still waying from a Christmas present 0:07:12.925 --> 0:07:14.965 that my wife has had hidden for three years. And 0:07:15.085 --> 0:07:16.605 as we were leaving the house last night, I went, 0:07:16.605 --> 0:07:17.965 at some point, when they move in, they're going to 0:07:18.045 --> 0:07:20.085 find that shirt you got me three years ago that 0:07:20.165 --> 0:07:21.205 I've never ever had. 0:07:21.765 --> 0:07:25.005 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:07:25.245 --> 0:07:27.205 Christian, where do I hide the Christmas presents? I have 0:07:27.245 --> 0:07:30.565 a fake hamper with dirty clothes. I bury the presence 0:07:30.845 --> 0:07:34.645 under the dirty clothes. Safe. Bet the kids will never 0:07:34.685 --> 0:07:37.244 go anywhere near it. Then that's genius. They're never gonna 0:07:37.245 --> 0:07:40.245 hampty that wash them Christian. My mate hid all the 0:07:40.285 --> 0:07:43.965 presents in his car boots like Patsy did his car 0:07:44.045 --> 0:07:44.765 got stolen. 0:07:45.285 --> 0:07:46.364 Don't tell me that. 0:07:46.364 --> 0:07:51.525 I kissed a guy who started good a Christmas bonus, Christian. 0:07:51.525 --> 0:07:53.205 My dad used to hide the Christmas presents at the 0:07:53.245 --> 0:07:55.365 top of his cupboard. Once we figured out, he said, well, 0:07:55.364 --> 0:07:56.885 if you want to ruin the surprise, go for it. 0:07:57.085 --> 0:08:00.925 I'm not finding another place. That's a proper old school dad, 0:08:00.965 --> 0:08:04.005 isn't it where they just worked out what's the least 0:08:04.045 --> 0:08:06.085 amount of effort I could put into being a dad. 0:08:07.045 --> 0:08:09.244 I chat to my dad now and I can see 0:08:09.285 --> 0:08:11.405 him judging me, like, oh, you know, I'm worried about this, 0:08:11.485 --> 0:08:13.525 and I'm doing this for the girls and I'm worried 0:08:13.525 --> 0:08:15.525 about that. I can see him just thinking, you're doing 0:08:15.525 --> 0:08:17.205 it all right. So, Dad, I think you were a 0:08:17.285 --> 0:08:19.725 dad like in the eighties when it was the easiest 0:08:19.725 --> 0:08:23.845 time to be a dad. Yes, literally the bare minimum minimum. 0:08:24.245 --> 0:08:25.925 It was constantly go and talk to you mum about that. 0:08:26.005 --> 0:08:27.445 I don't know, go and ask your mum about that. 0:08:27.485 --> 0:08:28.805 I don't think I ever even asked my dad to 0:08:28.845 --> 0:08:31.364 help with homework or any school projects, because it would 0:08:31.405 --> 0:08:31.845 have been odd. 0:08:31.925 --> 0:08:34.885 You know Dad's now, it's so beautiful, how how involved 0:08:34.965 --> 0:08:35.485 dads are. 0:08:35.925 --> 0:08:38.925 And it's not because you want to be involved. That's 0:08:38.925 --> 0:08:41.165 why you have kids is to enjoy. You know, there's 0:08:41.165 --> 0:08:43.045 so much pressure on parents that to be the perfect parent. 0:08:43.165 --> 0:08:45.325 The most important thing is to enjoy having kids. 0:08:46.125 --> 0:08:48.005 That's why you bought in books and then through the 0:08:48.005 --> 0:08:49.925 rest of Christmas Day you just sit there reading books 0:08:49.925 --> 0:08:50.525 all afternoon. 0:08:50.605 --> 0:08:53.765 Yes, do something. Now, what have you done about Hardy 0:08:53.765 --> 0:08:56.365 because you got three young kids? Yes, Christian, So what 0:08:56.405 --> 0:08:58.125 are you doing about the presents? Have you got them yet? 0:08:58.125 --> 0:08:59.645 You've got you all the present sorted. 0:08:59.684 --> 0:09:02.205 I'm getting touchy, I'm getting stressed, I'm getting nervous. 0:09:02.245 --> 0:09:02.965 I went in yesterday. 0:09:03.005 --> 0:09:05.045 I said, Bonnie, We've got to buy some of these 0:09:05.045 --> 0:09:07.045 presents for these kids. He's like, no, no, no, why 0:09:07.045 --> 0:09:08.485 aren't we just waiting to we get up to newcast 0:09:08.525 --> 0:09:10.484 It all just north of Sydney, which is where we're 0:09:10.485 --> 0:09:12.965 going to be spending Christmas, and we'll buy the presents there. 0:09:13.444 --> 0:09:15.844 And I'm thinking, hang on, we're going to be spending 0:09:16.125 --> 0:09:20.285 a day or two just before Christmas fighting the stress 0:09:20.645 --> 0:09:21.445 and all the people. 0:09:21.725 --> 0:09:25.405 That's a recipe for recipe for disaster those shops are 0:09:25.444 --> 0:09:27.525 just heaving as well. Most of the stuff is gone. 0:09:27.605 --> 0:09:29.125 I know we're getting up there on like the twenty 0:09:29.365 --> 0:09:31.085 the twenty first of December, so. 0:09:31.525 --> 0:09:34.125 I'm getting anxious now anxiety. 0:09:34.165 --> 0:09:36.005 It was this Alfred Hitchcock moment, you know, when the 0:09:36.005 --> 0:09:38.965 camera sort of out.

Christian at Christian O'Connell dot 0:14:16.564 --> 0:14:19.805 com dot au. Marie's got a story about half in 0:14:19.845 --> 0:14:22.165 and half out that we're talking about this week. Christian, 0:14:22.205 --> 0:14:24.605 I remember the time I got stuck half in half out. 0:14:24.805 --> 0:14:27.205 I was hanging some washing out and immediately locked myself 0:14:27.245 --> 0:14:30.645 out keys inside. I figured i'd climb through through a window. 0:14:30.645 --> 0:14:33.805 Whilst attemptingness, I stood on an ail sticking out the board. 0:14:34.285 --> 0:14:37.485 When I checked my foot, I managed to step straight 0:14:37.605 --> 0:14:42.525 into dog oo. I'm now angry, swearing I'd try to 0:14:42.565 --> 0:14:45.205 pry open the kitchen window. I got it open, but 0:14:45.245 --> 0:14:48.685 apparently shoes with dog peel on them are incredibly slippery 0:14:49.005 --> 0:14:54.925 on the kitchen sink. I ended up half doing the 0:14:55.045 --> 0:14:59.405 splits before giving up and climbing back out. Still stuck 0:14:59.405 --> 0:15:03.245 outside plan B, I found a long pole and managed 0:15:03.285 --> 0:15:05.965 to gel breakstyle reach across the kitchen to hook my 0:15:06.125 --> 0:15:08.405 car keys. By the way, there was a whole sp 0:15:08.805 --> 0:15:11.445 in London of crimes where people would put a long 0:15:11.485 --> 0:15:13.325 pole with a hook at the end of it through 0:15:13.365 --> 0:15:15.525 your letterbox, because you know, you'll just dump your keys 0:15:15.565 --> 0:15:18.965 on the sideboard by the door and then hike them 0:15:19.005 --> 0:15:21.604 on like it's like a fairground game, and then retract 0:15:21.725 --> 0:15:24.885 back across front door and out through the letterbox. Only 0:15:24.925 --> 0:15:26.645 about this once when the police were at my door 0:15:26.645 --> 0:15:28.605 and they were going around our neighborhood right door to 0:15:28.645 --> 0:15:31.245 door telling people not to leave their keys out the 0:15:31.245 --> 0:15:35.445 side because these hooking game gangs and shook gans sing 0:15:35.445 --> 0:15:37.885 out of Charles Sticker's movie Wondering the Streets were a 0:15:37.965 --> 0:15:40.005 long six rup pole with the nail at the end 0:15:40.005 --> 0:15:43.605 of it. So anyway, I said, I don't, I don't 0:15:43.645 --> 0:15:45.205 think that's a thing, and they were like, no, no, no, 0:15:45.245 --> 0:15:47.484 So we'd like to demonstrate to you right now, close 0:15:47.525 --> 0:15:49.885 your door where do you normally leave your keys? So 0:15:49.965 --> 0:15:52.765 now I'm in this strange scenario. There are two police 0:15:52.805 --> 0:15:55.925 officers constables right at the met police peering through my 0:15:56.005 --> 0:15:59.565 letterbox talking to me. I'm positioning where I normally used 0:15:59.565 --> 0:16:01.325 to dump my keys. They then get a pole and 0:16:01.365 --> 0:16:04.405 reenact what this crime would be. They managed to steal 0:16:04.445 --> 0:16:06.845 my car keys to police officers while we react to 0:16:06.845 --> 0:16:10.205 what might happen. Anyway, back to plan and Marie found 0:16:10.245 --> 0:16:12.525 a long pole mass to jawl brak star reach goss 0:16:12.525 --> 0:16:14.885 the kitchen to hit my car keys. Thankfully had the 0:16:14.925 --> 0:16:18.085 house kid hatch success and made it back in with 0:16:18.165 --> 0:16:20.485 dog poo still on my shoes, dog poo on the sink, 0:16:20.525 --> 0:16:23.485 a hole in my foot, and a strained groin from 0:16:23.485 --> 0:16:26.244 almost two in the splits. Marie great, I know that 0:16:26.365 --> 0:16:28.885 smell you never ever, But do you get rid of 0:16:28.925 --> 0:16:32.685 the did and those shoes? You can clean them all 0:16:32.685 --> 0:16:34.725 you want, You clean them all they want. You still 0:16:34.845 --> 0:16:39.085 smell that rancid smell. These shoes has gotta go. I 0:16:39.125 --> 0:16:42.245 love these shoes. They've been tainted forever with dog poo. 0:16:42.405 --> 0:16:45.365 You wash your hands about five times, scrubs and nails 0:16:45.405 --> 0:16:46.485 with that nail brush. 0:16:46.725 --> 0:16:48.805 You talk about old school things, do they still exist? 0:16:48.845 --> 0:16:51.725 The ancient game of jacks? And also nail brushes? Should 0:16:51.725 --> 0:16:53.845 we go around it? And Grandad's always had that nail 0:16:53.885 --> 0:16:56.605 brush next to a bar of soap. I come in 0:16:56.645 --> 0:16:59.805 the last way I saw a neil brush. Christian. Two 0:16:59.885 --> 0:17:02.165 years into our marriage, I changed up my routine and 0:17:02.245 --> 0:17:04.685 left the house at four am for the gym every morning. 0:17:04.685 --> 0:17:06.365 For one week, I noticed that the front door was 0:17:06.365 --> 0:17:08.725 always unlocked. I finally asked my husband why he was 0:17:08.725 --> 0:17:10.764 the door never locked. He looked at me and said, oh, 0:17:10.845 --> 0:17:13.885 my dad does that what I said, confused because we 0:17:13.965 --> 0:17:16.245 never ever lived with his tad and my husband hadn't 0:17:16.245 --> 0:17:18.445 lived at home for five years before we met. All 0:17:18.445 --> 0:17:20.045 of a sudden, the light bulb went off at my 0:17:20.125 --> 0:17:23.565 husband's head and realized that it has now become his responsibility, 0:17:23.645 --> 0:17:25.405 and he'd not been locking the door since we got 0:17:25.405 --> 0:17:26.685 married for five years. 0:17:26.925 --> 0:17:29.365 Oh there's something really sweet about that. 0:17:29.605 --> 0:17:33.085 No, he wasn't locking the door. Its the guy's job 0:17:33.325 --> 0:17:36.085 to cure the perimeters like he's dead, always did it 0:17:36.325 --> 0:17:42.125 is a grown man relaxt that's from Marie and Steve 0:17:42.245 --> 0:17:44.244 is over the last color week has been writing a 0:17:44.325 --> 0:17:47.445 poem about the previous week's shows. Here's his last one 0:17:47.525 --> 0:17:49.645
