<v Speaker 2>Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It's time for question two in my alternative census, the

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Senseless Census. We're building a picture of modern Australia that

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 1>no one has asked for.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Question two.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Please answer honestly right now four seventy five three one

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>O four three. Your answers will be revealed tomorrow. Second question,

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>what is your useless superpower? I believe that every single

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>one of us has a superpower, but they're useless.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>They're not like your marvel.

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>No one's building a multiverse around your superpower.

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>They are essentially worthless and useless.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a very powerful manifestation ability. Oh I love

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that only in one area I can find a parking

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>spot within sixty seconds every single time.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Really, I wish I could.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Manifest other stuff, rating success so that it's failed.

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.719
<v Speaker 4>Me, even in big city Sydneys in the world. The

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 4>gift is that I would love the test is nowhere else.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>My wife would always go, my God, there's no parking spots.

0:01:29.759 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I will always say there's one just about to open up,

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>right Now, how.

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 4>Does it come to you like a terminating someone someone?

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.519
<v Speaker 4>I was born with a baby.

0:01:39.639 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I came out.

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>My first words were, there's a parking spot just over there. Now,

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.639
<v Speaker 1>my first words were as a baby, were are you leaving?

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you leaving?

0:01:49.639 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Then you hate it when they're like, now is fiddling

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>with the car lights?

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 4>You know?

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>All right? What is your use of superpower? Rio?

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 6>Mine couldn't be any more useless. I think if you

0:02:01.919 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 6>blindfolded me, put me into a shopping center at Westfield,

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 6>walked me into any store, I would know what the

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 6>door is just from the smell.

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.399
<v Speaker 3>Oh, We've got to put this to the test.

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 4>Don't think I can smell a store.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm impressed a dares I would know cotton on, I

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 6>would know rebel sports.

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Tell you what section in rebel sports.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Would you define the smell of rebel sports.

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like the balls, isn't it the rubber they use

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>in the making of the basketball tens?

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 4>Which section?

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, if you're in the ball section, if in the

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 6>boots section, the cricket bats section, the aqua section, the

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 6>treadmill section, I could tell you I've had a very

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 6>finely tuned nose that.

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Is impressive, Patsy, what's yours are? Than in? Great news?

<v Speaker 3>There we go do.

0:02:42.640 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 5>One is that I'm good at naming people's new pets.

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Literally one of the top five worst things.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm very.

0:02:53.920 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 4>Times problematic.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 5>Don't even have to look at them, if they describe them.

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 4>I nail it each time.

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Dear listener, you might be needed for the show.

<v Speaker 3>Oh how do you do? Are you a channel?

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 4>It's a superpower.

<v Speaker 4>Does no?

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't even know if I can smell it, and

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 5>I can tell by the expression on his face.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 4>I'll say smell guilt.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 5>You'll say a chicken sandwich, and I said, do you

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 5>mean a chicken burger?

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Because I can smell.

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It the nug all right, answer the question what is

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>your use of superpower?

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:54.280

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>mind once a week, Christian, I compete the perfect avocado.

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I am the avocado avocado whisperer.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Now I have a follow up question for that. Is

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 4>it without touching the avocado?

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 6>Or it's got to be yeah, because anyone can.

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Anyone can do the squish.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 4>But you're just going from the colors amazing.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Please cain'tifind Christian, I work in childcare, I could walk

0:04:16.719 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>out the back and say, bang, this child has a

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>dirty nappy, sure enough. I don't think any parent can

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>do that because there's the unmistakable smell of poo haka.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 3>I used to a superpowered Christian.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>There has a been a tell what sex of dog

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>is without checking underneath, just by their face.

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm honestly thinking that we might start to test

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>some of these, like get some dogs in and can

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Tracy where you do this?

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:43.480

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>for leftover so there's no wasted space in the fridge.

<v Speaker 3>That's semi useful cavel. Christian.

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>My use of superpower finding four leaf clovers. I have

0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>over five hundred of them.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Kidding question.

0:05:02.840 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>At work, we need to sometimes put labels on things,

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and ninety nine percent of the time I will grab

0:05:07.280 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>a stack of labels and it's always the exact amount

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I needed.

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Christian.

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>My use of superpower having two web toes on each foot.

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>As a kid, my mum explained I was a good swimmer.

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>It's useless. I can wake up also, Christian moments what

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 1>the alarm goes off, it's just depressing. Christian from behind.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>This is from Mick from behind. I radiate an or

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a friendliness to drunks looking for someone to bore.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Christian, my name is Wayne.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>My super superpower is I can tell the difference between

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>flatulence and actually needing to go for a number two.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 1>In short, I don't risk it for the biscuit. That's

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>just this is.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 3>What happens, really fascination.

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>My superpower is I know when the microwave is about

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to beat, just before it goes off.

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a great one, Christian.

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I can see if thing's a dead level without the

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>use of a level, especially hedges.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 4>Love that.

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 3>That's great. What I'm Matthew Kyle.

<v Speaker 1>streaming show falling over again. I guess you got to

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>listen to something. When you do, Bruno doesn't reboot test

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>it when Carlin BONDI my used the super power is

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>guessing a villain in of the film. It's always a

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>French nice person, never the overtop buddy.

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Actually, I would say my mom's superpower is any detective,

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 6>especially Scandy.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 4>She will know who did it, who is the murderer.

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 3>And she's always right.

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.239
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I never ever see it coming.

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>They made these TV shows for simpletons like me, Blody,

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea it was a guy who had

0:06:47.840 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>that gun.

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.599
