Speaker 1: Question. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, I've got someone to go up to. Lois,

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: my youngest teenager, fifteen going on thirty five. I don't know.

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wrote the book The Art of the Negotiation.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: But no one negotiates harder than a teenager. No, let

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: me quantify that, No one negotiates harder than a teenage girl.

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: It is brutal. I didn't know I was going walking

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: into her negotiation. I was walking into a trap. Normally

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: when I go up there, it's something she needs something

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: right straight away. I'm already anxious, like, oh god, what

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: is it? Now? Right? I go in and she goes.

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: I I just got to sit on the bed because

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where else to sit because there's crap everywhere.

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: There's like a pair of shoes in a box. I'm like,

15
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: didn't I get you those with Christmas? It's May? And

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: there's like charging cables that I know are mine that

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I've been looking for. It's like, you know where the

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: police raids somewhere and they've been conducting a cry for

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: two years. This is so much crap on the fog.

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: So I go to sit on the bed. She goes, no,

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: don't sit there, you mess it up, went mess everywhere.

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: She goes, sit on the floor, power play, power play.

23
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: What a way to negotiate with a grown up. You

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: set the floor straight away? She sat down, looking at me,

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I am, I'm on the back foo

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: already here And I go nervously, what is it? She goes,

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: hang on a minute. She starts to log into her laptop. Went, oh,

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: do you need some up with homework? She goes to

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: looks down at this. No, and then she takes me

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: through a four page, four slide PowerPoint presentation. The first

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: line gets my attention, no more pocket money for me

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: on the floor more often than coming here. This is great.

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm saving money.

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,000

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: overcoming objections. She abviously thought, what am I going to?

00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: She's selling it into me bigger picture. The last side

48

00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: two weeks. You'll need something else of money.

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: But you've got to admire the power further than I've

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: ever seen anything.

65
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,079

00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the market. Here now, four pages is the best pound

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,120

72
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Let me just have a little think about it. She

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: looks at me. What was closing the laptop slow?

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: And then she goes, yeah, you need to check with

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: your wife. Dan, No, I don't know. It's going to

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 2: think it over in my room on my own.

Speaker 1: daughter sitting me down, I do mean sitting me down

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: on her bedroom floor to give me the big pitch.

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Why she's happy to have no more pocket money for

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: this year? If I simply just buy her a coffee

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: machine for her flipping bedroom. She did never find it,

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: even though I get one, I'm not. By the way,

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: even if she got it, she never find all the

86
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: crap in there. Anyway, He got a ten slider PowerPoint

94
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: faces and read it out aloud. It was like a

99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: some wheezing inside its stomach. It slowly digested it, like

100
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,240
