0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Quest.

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Our

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 2>family lives under a reign of terror. Big Larry, the

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>big cat we have right.

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 3>His big cat, big cases.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 4>He looks like he's eating, oh the other cats. He's

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 4>like a cow. Morning was actually sort of scraping the floor.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Now I get emails that someone sent me angry email

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>phone to me an enabler, like I had some sort

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>of issue and I was something gone wrong in my

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 2>head where I got my kicks from overfeeding.

0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 3>You, baking cakes and feeding with creed.

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Larry, never leave me, fat Larry. It's every another pie

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 4>we've taken Clavett. They say, he's just that's just how

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 4>he is. That's his breed. He's he's Persian.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>He is a big head, long haired cat, beautiful boy.

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But this thing likes to eat. If you're that kind

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>of bob, you've got to keep you got to keep

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it coming in. He's not the rock, just not as jacked.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>So he's constantly I know, you know a lot of

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>cats they're scravengers. But this is how bad it is.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>And I suddenly went on a Sunday morning, this is insane.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 2>This has gone too far, right, this cat rattles our

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>bedroom door at six am, right on a Saturday morning,

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.479
<v Speaker 2>because I obviously feeding when I get up for work,

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>but come.

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 4>A Saturn and a Sunday.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Old Tubby still wants his early morning breakfast at four

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>point thirty. And obviously I was the stat presumably to

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 2>have it a lion, so at least half six or

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>half seven fat there. He's like he literally that big

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>old bulk against his shoulder, barge and the door.

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 3>He needs to wake up early to eat.

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 4>He's like, he's like rattling the door.

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>We've got the we've got the spray now right that

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you white water the plants with it.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 4>We opened the door and it's quite as nice. But

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 4>now he knows about that's what he does. He does the.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Old rouser door. Then I figure over with the square.

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>He's down the hallway looking at me, Hey, get out

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of the bed, just walk down here.

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Open up that mankey old food for Larry.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, So we've recently started to barricading ourselves in put

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 2>it you see on Instagram.

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 4>It literally is a barricade.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 2>There's there's a couple of carp on boxes and then

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Pilate's ball.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 4>For some reason, my wife thinks cats fear pilate moreto

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 4>and working out.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 3>His big bulk will just bounce off the.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Ball, he'll eats it, and that boll starts rumbling towards

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 2>him like Indiana Jones. So we've got with literally my wife.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I then have to like Australian Ninja over the drop

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and roll, drop and roll into bed. And it's still

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>not working. The cat's found some way to get a

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>fat oul pull around it and start the old rapping.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 4>So this morning I want to know, and also he

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 4>will win eventually.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>I just have to get up because the other week

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>and that I hadn't been feeding at the weekend. He

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>just in the morning, he just could dump in the bath.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, it's disgusting, right, he's got a leap in there.

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Nice of him to get in the bath.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a statement, right, it's a statement. Okay, he knows

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing.

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 4>He knows us.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 5>It's the equivalent of the horsehead in the bed.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 4>We get it, Larry, no more fun sized mars.

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Bas just has to stop fat Larry. It's turn Cornelius

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and Planet the Apes is basically my new fat cat overlord.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Larry this morning, who has a high maintenance pet. He

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>needs we need an intervention. I need a cat expert,

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>something kind of cat whisperer that's gonna have a word.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Would now need to eat up on the old galleries.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a high maintenance pet?

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 5>Something like what you're building the fort that you're buildings

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 5>the cat barricade? Young and I went through an open

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 5>house inspection and we saw a four poster bed in

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 5>the master bed room that had a dog ramp carpeted

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 5>dog ramp up onto the bed with guardrails.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 4>Not for one of the people. Is it some sort

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 4>of game?

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it was the couple's bed.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Who knows what goes on in the bedroom.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I assume it's for a dog. I don't know for sure.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 2>You can look at things manyf this. Oh, I'm sure

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't. I've taken a show somewhere else.

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Let's get it back. Let's say, yeah, it's for the.

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 3>Dog, for the dogs.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Of course it's with the dog. Okay. Do you have

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 4>a high maintenance pet? Christian Connell's show podcast you got

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 4>this care called Larry.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I have the barricade are souse into

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>our bedroom to try and prevent some kind of barrier

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>between Larry and the dawn, rattling it six am, demanding

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>that we get up.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 4>And feed him. So anyone else in a siege with

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 4>their pets.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Christian, we got three cats who start being I've taken

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>a swear word out here. Let's just say idiots for him.

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 2>But I agree with the word you use. That just

0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>think it's good to sell the radio right the middle

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>school room. This is a three man team. Mickey, that's

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 2>one of the cats. Can open doors that are barricaded.

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Caspar rattles the blinds. Sukie walks up and down the

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>hallway crying. This is a three person rain of terror,

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 5>At It's like some sort of Disney film where each

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 5>of them have a different skill set and.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 4>They're timing it.

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, start with the blinds, if you got me, Come on, Sookie,

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>stop get the walk now.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like the Great Escape music should play.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Christian, we have ghetto. This is from Adrian. We have

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a fan outside our bedroom door set to full blast.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Plugged him viro an extension cord that runs into a bedroom.

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 2>As soon as our cat starts ring the door, we

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>turn on the fan.

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 4>He lects it again. All of this sets up.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>We have a gas log fireplace that to buy a

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>screen to put an avront of it, not to get

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.720

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>and throwing up black vomit on my wife's pride of joy,

<v Speaker 2>Herbie carpet. Women's installed CCTV cameras are in the house

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>so he can chat to his dogs and cats at work.

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 2>He's got intercom.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 5>I used to work with a guy like that kid.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 5>at the last radio station I worked out. Have webscam

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 5>set up and he could talk to the dog on

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:17.080
