Speaker 4: store every day.
Speaker 1: Right now I'm speaking to a microphone I could do
Speaker 1: every morning. However, in radio, the one thing you always
Speaker 1: look out for that keeps you safe and you know
Speaker 1: you were as your compass is the red light. When
Speaker 1: the red light is on, the microphone is live. The
Speaker 1: only thing is that come in this morning and the
Speaker 1: red microphone light was on red. So I thought, this
Speaker 1: is a live hot mic be careful. No, it's just
Speaker 1: permanently on now until after nine o'clock.
Speaker 5: Very disconcernered.
Speaker 1: How she scary? So the engineer I thought the best
Speaker 1: thing to do was to calm me is to duct
Speaker 1: tape the red glowing light.
Speaker 5: It's not even fully duct taped over. This is very
Speaker 5: ominous slither of red light.
Speaker 1: So things are going to go well today. This is
Speaker 1: a sign of the times we're in right now. It's
Speaker 1: a four of something I'm not smart enough to know
Speaker 1: what it is. But there's an actual that we're duck
Speaker 1: taped to get on air today.
Speaker 5: This show is helding midway through.
Speaker 1: Week six of the National Show. Anyway, Good morning, pats
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, Good morning, good morning, good morning, Alex,

Speaker 1: Your Monday winner or loser?
Speaker 6: Did sit loser? So got a new washing machine just
Speaker 6: months ago, weeks ago anyway.
Speaker 1: And now the reason why we just need to remind
Speaker 1: because might be some new listeners. Patsy, uh broke the door?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, pulled the door off it with her bare hair.
Speaker 1: She was actually smashing arrival's head in it.
Speaker 5: The door.
Speaker 1: How your friends doing in Mexico? The cartel that you
Speaker 1: needed back out there, ol, Patso we drafted it outside
Speaker 1: when it.
Speaker 6: Came off with my hands, It's ridiculous anyway, So we
Speaker 6: had to get a new one. So I got the
Speaker 6: new one. Very happy with the new one. Only I
Speaker 6: might have put my really thick bath mat in there
Speaker 6: to wash like where else? How else are you meant
Speaker 6: to wash a bath mat?
Speaker 1: You've got to wash them.
Speaker 6: Off your feet?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 6: Anyway, My husband came home yesterday and I said, I
Speaker 6: think I've messed up the machine because now it won't drain.
Speaker 6: It's telling me Era seven. It's like, why, why, what's
Speaker 6: Era seven?
Speaker 1: How have you used this bath mate?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 6: It's pretty fire, isn't.
Speaker 5: That huge one from Aldis. I've never seen such a
Speaker 5: bath mate's and.
Speaker 6: I love it, But I mean, how what do you
Speaker 6: mean to take it out the back and hose it?
Speaker 6: I donate, So it went in the washing machine and
Speaker 6: my husband said, you can't shove that in there.
Speaker 1: Now tell me this passage just because I want to know.
Speaker 1: But did you have a little bit of the clothes
Speaker 1: as well? So it's like overload and.
Speaker 6: Drum towels and everything, right, And I thought, well, maybe
Speaker 6: maybe I clean the filter, which with the front loader
Speaker 6: is at that front little squary bit.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: So I've got a cheese knife, so I didn't scratch
Speaker 6: it because it's you know, flat and nice and fat.
Speaker 6: So I opened it up, and I stupidly unstated.
Speaker 1: Anyone else cash that Pats has a cheese knife. In
Speaker 1: my mind, I was just going through my cutlery drawer, going,
Speaker 1: I don't have my cheese.
Speaker 5: I don't want to say anything to seem I've got a.
Speaker 1: Butter dish, but I don't have that cheese knife, not
Speaker 1: to say, if get cheese knife.
Speaker 6: And I opened it up, and of course stupidly, why
Speaker 6: did it? I opened it up because there was still
Speaker 6: water in the drum, So then on the water came out.
Speaker 6: Then I butted the laundry and then.
Speaker 1: You've got to get the clean towels. It just washes,
Speaker 1: start using it to dampen it down.
Speaker 6: Such a waste, yes, exactly. So I've booked a service
Speaker 6: call overnight, so please, I hope they come.
Speaker 1: When you start the week like that, you're just like,
Speaker 1: that's the that'll be your story of the week.
Speaker 6: But you know, I used to put the old the
Speaker 6: mate in the old machine, and like two mates at
Speaker 6: a time.
Speaker 1: I reckon washing machines used to be a lot tougher
Speaker 1: back in the day.
Speaker 5: It's gone soft wash washing woke machine, no digital numbers.
Speaker 1: It was like that big face just had on and
Speaker 1: off and it used to weigh like fifty tons. You
Speaker 1: didn't move, you just left that. You didn't move that thing.
Speaker 1: It was huge, noisy old thing as well. You have
Speaker 1: just a shout. It was like a plane taken off.
Speaker 1: There it goes Alex, are you were Monday when you're
Speaker 1: a loser your day yesterday?
Speaker 8: I'm a loser as well. My WhatsApp group, parents WhatsApp group,
Speaker 8: it's getting way out of control. I'm way behind. I'm
Speaker 8: like one hundred and fifty messages behind and I'll never
Speaker 8: ever catch up.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: What are we in now?
Speaker 8: End of February, I had like forty years started. I know,
Speaker 8: I'd like forty eight unread messages on Monday alone.
Speaker 5: It was just insane.
Speaker 1: Were they all chattering on about who's got a pair
Speaker 1: of spare bell? There's what time is the sky? I
Speaker 1: do want to make genuinizations, but suddenly a lot of
Speaker 1: dads are give me put a hit in that silence.

Speaker 1: ten pm Yester evening. I was in the local paper
Speaker 1: at seventeen for being bitten by a pig hunting dog
Speaker 1: at our local cemetery. There's so much going on here.
Speaker 5: Sorry, go again.
Speaker 1: This is the best job of the world because these
Speaker 1: are our listeners. Dear Christian, I was in the local
Speaker 1: paper at age seventeen for being bitten by a pig
Speaker 1: hunting dog. Already that bit's incredible. A pig hunting dog
Speaker 1: at the local cemetery. So I'm guessing if you're at
Speaker 1: the local cemetery, you are the work there or you're
Speaker 1: in mourning and suddenly there's a rabid pig hunting dog.
Speaker 1: Are there pigs at the cemetery?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: You pehunting?
Speaker 1: You know what is going on? The same dog tried
Speaker 1: to attack the police when they went to speak to
Speaker 1: the No.
Speaker 5: This made the paper bit I'd read that's true on
Speaker 5: the loose.
Speaker 1: You yes, the setting, the cemetery, the story. So much
Speaker 1: going on here, a pig hunting dog. I didn't know
Speaker 1: you you can train dogs? Aren't what they're looking for?
Speaker 1: Pigs for the wild? Pigs foraging?
Speaker 6: Breadful, isn't Weren't they like a good pig hunting dog?
Speaker 5: Pitbulls?
Speaker 1: Yes, I think? Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I think they're so small.
Speaker 5: How could they take.
Speaker 1: Yeah, aggressive, honey badger, don't let go. I don't mean
Speaker 1: the guy from so I just remember what country people
Speaker 1: go see the being that big guy in Ald guy.
Speaker 1: He's not been Simon Anita. We all we have so
Speaker 1: we we've got to get Simone on the show. Let's
Speaker 1: call Simona. We need more off to seven on that,
Speaker 1: I would say I'm a Monday loser, Like with you
Speaker 1: pants on a washing machine. Something happens when you're grown
Speaker 1: up and then you realize, I've got to do so
Speaker 1: much research now to find this out. Apparently I didn't
Speaker 1: realize in the teaser sea of my marriage. It's my
Speaker 1: job now. If there are mosquitoes around the house, I'm
Speaker 1: to research how to deter them. So I've tried the coil.
Speaker 1: That citronella coil isn't doing enough. Yeah, no, these are
Speaker 1: really persistent pants. So I do all that before we
Speaker 1: go and sit outside. I light it for an hour.
Speaker 1: It doesn't do enough. And so I started to go
Speaker 1: on to Google yesterday. By the way, when you use
Speaker 1: Google now and you don't feed it into like chatchy bit,
Speaker 1: it feels quite old fashioned. Oh oh wait, Google, Sorry,
Speaker 1: you think I'm going to read these twelve articles, why
Speaker 1: don't you read them for me and then read it
Speaker 1: back to me or prepare a report. And so I
Speaker 1: went on there and it was just like it looked like.
Speaker 1: And it's so hard to know whether the reviews are
Speaker 1: legitimate today, But I found something called the pesterol dominator okay,
Speaker 1: which sounds like something by its sexy land. But actually
Speaker 1: it's apparently some kind of determined to mosquitoes. That's where. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a plug in pass.
Speaker 5: Yes, that sounds like absolute bollocks.
Speaker 1: Now I've got tried before and that really didn't do
Speaker 1: that much either. So actually what I need is what
Speaker 1: people have actually used that works. Now, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe the pestor ole dominator works really well. If it does,
Speaker 1: and you've got one and you actually used it and
Speaker 1: it works, please let me know because I've got to
Speaker 1: do something. We can't sell something, and they always don't.
Speaker 1: At my wife, they're going for my blood.
Speaker 5: Oh yes they do, like maybe it's your English blood.
Speaker 1: Well my wife has English blood as well. Why they
Speaker 1: go for my true English Irish Indian blood. They like
Speaker 1: a hybrid.
Speaker 5: My dad actually introduced a pond into their backyard as
Speaker 5: a way of getting rid of mosquitoes, but it did backfire.
Speaker 1: So he's I would think that's worth stagged water.
Speaker 5: He's theory is he'd put a mosquito eating fish that
Speaker 5: would lure.
Speaker 1: The mosquitoes the building. Old man got to leeds and
Speaker 1: some apocalypse. Now seeing he's gone, Colonel Kurtz.
Speaker 5: They would eat the larvae, but then it actually is
Speaker 5: just tripling.
Speaker 1: His own ecoss. There's too much ever, just get a machine.
Speaker 5: But now they've attracted a lot of bozzies and it's
Speaker 5: a real problem for the house.
Speaker 1: Speaking even thinking about it, they don't they breed around
Speaker 1: stagnant water. So if anyone has got a hot tip
Speaker 1: for me, please text me O four seventy five O
Speaker 1: three one O four three. Rio. Are your Monday winter

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast Now.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago when it was a day
Speaker 1: before Valentine's on a Friday, and we did a very
Speaker 1: different thing for the people's playlist. We were taking your
Speaker 1: love songs for your partners, someone spash in your life
Speaker 1: and it was lovely reminded me of like how years
Speaker 1: ago when we grew up listening to radio, where late
Speaker 1: night radio love songs and dedications were a really, really
Speaker 1: big thing. And what was nice is that obviously every
Speaker 1: day doing this job, people are asking for songs. And
Speaker 1: what was nice about that? So someone was asking for
Speaker 1: a song that wasn't just for them to somebody else.
Speaker 1: And so I love the idea of you requesting a
Speaker 1: song for somebody else, And we're going to call this
Speaker 1: play it forward. So if there's someone in your life,
Speaker 1: it might be someone you work with and you want
Speaker 1: to cheer them up, or they've had some good news,
Speaker 1: or they're having a tough time, what a lovely thing
Speaker 1: for them to hear about that You've got a song
Speaker 1: played for them. Whatever that that song is, So play
Speaker 1: it forward. What song do you wantus to play for?
Speaker 1: Who you can call the show now? Thirteen fifty five
Speaker 1: twenty two particip kadyin, You've got one?
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 9: So I want to dedicate a song to a motorcyclist
Speaker 9: that I saw yesterday, the most polite road rage I
Speaker 9: have ever seen. So I pull up at the lights
Speaker 9: on my way home from the gym, and the guy's
Speaker 9: next to me they're also there, and then something catches
Speaker 9: my eye and I look across and there's a motorcyclist
Speaker 9: right next to them, and I hear him say, because
Speaker 9: all of our windows are down, He goes, hey, mate,
Speaker 9: I just wanted to let you know, please be mindful
Speaker 9: of using your side mirrors because you may hit a motorcyclist.
Speaker 9: So he obviously like ran into the lane that he
Speaker 9: was in, and the bloke that he was saying it
Speaker 9: to was a bit like at first, like, oh, well,
Speaker 9: what's going on here, because you'd obviously done the mat thing,
Speaker 9: expected bad road rage. But the guy was so lovely
Speaker 9: and so eventually he was like, oh, okay, I'm sorry mate,
Speaker 9: and they shook hands.
Speaker 6: And he drove off.
Speaker 1: CA. That's a Sharon story. I love that.
Speaker 9: It was the most beautiful thing. And I just sat
Speaker 9: there and I thought, guys, we need to be more
Speaker 9: like that on the road, because you know, we always,
Speaker 9: and myself included.
Speaker 6: Can be a bit road ragey.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but being reminded that you don't have to, you
Speaker 9: can just you know, let people gently know, hey, let's
Speaker 9: just be mindful of each.
Speaker 1: Other on the roads, especially for motorcycles. You're right, those
Speaker 1: those side mirrors are really important, really important.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and the guy was just really understanding. The most
Speaker 9: beautiful thing was the shake of the hands man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they wrote it genuinely conduct all right, So what's
Speaker 1: the song? What's play it forward?
Speaker 9: For that?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 9: So I want to play Aretha Franklin's Respect, all right?
Speaker 1: So this is how play it Forward works? What would
Speaker 1: you love us to play?
Speaker 5: And for who?
Speaker 1: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, Things will make You Go Cool?
Speaker 1: What small thing drives you mad? This happened yesterday. I
Speaker 1: was in Willies. It's one of those pinheads who thinks
Speaker 1: is okay for us also have to listen into their
Speaker 1: dull conversation. Speaker phone is never on a low volume. No,
Speaker 1: it's all the way up to eleven. And I read
Speaker 1: research on this couple of weeks ago where it's more
Speaker 1: infuriated to hear half a conversation than if it was
Speaker 1: two people at full volume, because you can't your brain
Speaker 1: wants to latch onto that and try and fill in
Speaker 1: the gaps yes or he hear is them yes? Or
Speaker 1: half the half evation, So you're not hearing the full conversation.
Speaker 1: You're trying to work out even though, you irritate and
Speaker 1: I could put my air pods in and listen to
Speaker 1: a podcast. I can't. I'm suching's their dull vortex.
Speaker 5: You want to eavesdrop, but you can't, so you actually
Speaker 5: double irritated.
Speaker 1: And you could tell from what they were talking about
Speaker 1: Trey either had said something up a few beers of
Speaker 1: the barbecue or he hadn't.
Speaker 5: And what did he say? I need to know.
Speaker 1: I almost wanted to follow this person around, just to
Speaker 1: put the pieces together, follow them out of the car
Speaker 1: part did what do you think? Did Trey say that?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: After a couple of beers? This classic ray? That's so trade?
Speaker 1: But what what is it? Because it's become a recent thing.
Speaker 1: It's like suddenly we're all just meant to be okay
Speaker 1: with the fact we're just background extras in this movie.
Speaker 5: No, I couldn't do it self conscious.
Speaker 1: People to have a chat to them, hold it up
Speaker 1: to your here like it the system, what normal person?
Speaker 6: And nothing I've got to say would be of interest
Speaker 6: to any other person in this world?
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean? Radio?
Speaker 1: Why do you think a moment of self awareness?
Speaker 6: My conversations are always did you remember to feed the
Speaker 6: dog or could you put the wash?
Speaker 1: Where are my glasses?
Speaker 5: Where are my glasses?
Speaker 1: By the way, Pats is very excited. She's modeling you glasses.

Speaker 2: before children at about three ten in the morning on
Speaker 2: the north side heading down into the tunnel, and I
Speaker 2: was in about the first twenty people, and it got
