Speaker 1: Got anything good.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Every single show.
Speaker 2: The show is maybe you guys, your stories are stories?
Speaker 2: Three ways? Should just share your stories? Today? Any stories
Speaker 2: about a wrong gore? What was the other side of it?
Speaker 2: On thirteen fifty five twenty two. Also this morning we
Speaker 2: looking for stories about having made a very large order
Speaker 2: of just one thing. I remember when one of my
Speaker 2: daughters was turning ten. She had a classmates. We'd hid
Speaker 2: this village hall for a birthday party, and there's so
Speaker 2: much pressure. You want them to have a great time.
Speaker 2: You want all their friends have a good time because
Speaker 2: they all sort of gossip about each other's parties. So anyway,
Speaker 2: I thought, I need a load of helium balloons. So
Speaker 2: I went into this some party shop run by the
Speaker 2: most miserable human being. It was almost ironic that the
Speaker 2: most miserable man I've ever encoded in my life was
Speaker 2: running this party shop. I get it, I guess, with
Speaker 2: all that fun coming in through the door, it just
Speaker 2: did something to him. Anyway, So I need twenty five
Speaker 2: helium balloons and he goes, okay, right, well I can
Speaker 2: pump them up in all this and he said he
Speaker 2: part nearby, and there was nowhere nearby. Part It was
Speaker 2: like a five to ten minute warm He said come
Speaker 2: back tomorrow morning. That's when the party was at eight am.
Speaker 2: And he actually said word for word, keep knocking because
Speaker 2: he lived above the place, and I get the feeling
Speaker 2: he was going to he's someone who has he needs
Speaker 2: to be woken up at eight am. He enjoys a drink.
Speaker 2: There was just, you know, there's just a vibe about
Speaker 2: some people that and I was like, just just keep
Speaker 2: knocking the guy who runs the party shop, Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 2: next morning I go there, I keep knocking it. I'm
Speaker 2: there five minutes kicking this door as well. I'm thinking
Speaker 2: I had one job to get these. I need these
Speaker 2: twenty five balloons. Anyway, all mates literally looks like he
Speaker 2: hasn't slept in about five days. He starts pumping up
Speaker 2: these helium balloons. And then I don't know if you've
Speaker 2: ever tried to corral helium balloons. Not easy. They just
Speaker 2: want to go up right, they don't want to be
Speaker 2: herded and crowd. Now it's suddenly caught up bast stay
Speaker 2: on a Sunday morning, I've got twenty five. I'm alone,
Speaker 2: I've got a five minute walk. I can barely see
Speaker 2: at times because they're floating in front of my face,
Speaker 2: just twenty five of them. Then it was like a
Speaker 2: uc Tito fight, trying to wrestle them into the car.
Speaker 2: As they're floating in the car, coming back out towards me.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to not pop them, obviously, because I need
Speaker 2: twenty five. The car fills with them. I'm actually shut
Speaker 2: the door. They're in the driver's seat, the passenger seat,
Speaker 2: the back seats, they're everywhere. I'm I'm actually open the
Speaker 2: driver's door. Push them away from me. Get in. I
Speaker 2: can't see out of it. There's no way of seeing
Speaker 2: the rear view mirror. Absolute nightmare. So have you got
Speaker 2: any stories about a single order of one thing? Sorry,
Speaker 2: very big, large order of one thing. Let us know
Speaker 2: on thirteen fifty five, twenty two and good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 2: How are you? Yeah, we're good. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: And so you've got a story about setting a track?
Speaker 3: I did. I set a trap for my eighteen year
Speaker 3: old son. My husband and I were heading away in
Speaker 3: the state for a weekend and I just had a
Speaker 3: sneaky suspicion moving an eighteen year old boy at home
Speaker 3: could perhaps get up to a bit of mischief. So
Speaker 3: I did all my gin bottles into.
Speaker 2: Probably last very sophisticate eighteen year old gin. I love botanical.
Speaker 3: It was free, so of course, so I hid all
Speaker 3: the gin in a drink bottle, filled it up with water,
Speaker 3: came home at the end of the weekend, said feel
Speaker 3: like a gin and tonic? Do you want one? To
Speaker 3: my son? And he goes and he just looked at
Speaker 3: me blankly, and he's like maybe. And so I made
Speaker 3: us a gin and tonic with gin, and he said,
Speaker 3: this test really.
Speaker 1: Different, a lot stronger than what I was drinking on
Speaker 1: the weekend longer.
Speaker 3: And so now five years later, when I still make
Speaker 3: a gin and tonic, I just look at him sometimes
Speaker 3: and he just smirks.
Speaker 2: Thee a Paceibo drinks what they were all having as well,
Speaker 2: Like God, this stuff is so strong. Anyone else so
Speaker 2: wrong right now? And thank you very much the story.
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, have a great one.
Speaker 2: Samantha Brackets, English, good morning.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Hello, how are you all?
Speaker 2: We're very well.
Speaker 1: Mine is a wrong door, a major wrong door. So
Speaker 1: I just finished night shift and I drove straight away
Speaker 1: all the way down to kill Thiland, about a two
Speaker 1: and a half hour drive, and part my car got
Speaker 1: out of it, and I was visiting my friends for
Speaker 1: a long weekend. Knock on the door, no answer, So
Speaker 1: I'll just try it. Walked in, looked around, looked to
Speaker 1: the right. I haven't made their bed. That's unusual. Never mind,
Speaker 1: go in. Look for the spare room. Thought that's different.
Speaker 1: There's normally bunks in here. Actually it was an office.
Speaker 2: None of these.
Speaker 1: So I had my tiller, I had my overnight bag,
Speaker 1: I had everything all under my arm. So I thought, well,
Speaker 1: I'll just planked them in this room. Anyway, it looks
Speaker 1: this one looks made. Did that? Went back into the lounge.
Speaker 1: They had a blue lounge, right, that's great. Turned around,
Speaker 1: thought kitchen's messy. That's unusual. Turned to the left, thought,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Oh no, no, no, there's a cabinet
Speaker 1: here with those dinky dye metal racing cars. No, oh
Speaker 1: my god. I'm now mortified. I ran back to the room,
Speaker 1: grabbed my stuff and bolted very quickly out the door.
Speaker 1: Next door, I'd gone into number twenty seven. My friends
Speaker 1: lived in twenty five.
Speaker 2: Just a small difference, but a very big difference.
Speaker 1: My my eye stopped. I literally sprose in that kitchen,
Speaker 1: and thank goodness that man wasn't home. I did tell him,
Speaker 1: I did tell him when I met him.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, man him later in the day, and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: make the bed and the kitchen as well. Now about
Speaker 2: those dinky cars. Bit old for that, aren't you why?
Speaker 1: I was mortified?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right then, Samantha, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. You have a lovely day, and you will.
Speaker 2: Livia Coleman, thank you very much. Let's go too, Let's
Speaker 2: go to It's like the Rocky Horse song. I turned
Speaker 2: to the left, I turned to the right. I turned
Speaker 2: back around again. And good morning.
Speaker 3: Anne, Good morning Christian.
Speaker 4: When my dad was a secondary store treacher, he said
Speaker 4: a tripp. He was getting annoyed with a group of
Speaker 4: boys who were constantly getting into the toilets to smoke,
Speaker 4: and so he and a colleague decided they would go
Speaker 4: in and wait until the smoke started.
Speaker 3: Rising from the cubicle.
Speaker 4: So, sure enough, the smoke went up, and the two
Speaker 4: teachers either side threw a bucket of water over the
Speaker 4: petition into the cubicle, and theos was caring. The only
Speaker 4: problem with this was that it turned out it wasn't
Speaker 4: a student, it was one of the other teachers.
Speaker 2: On a sneaky smokeo. That was probably the highlight of
Speaker 2: that guy's day. Just a minute on a dance, Oh,
Speaker 2: just a field and brilliant story. Thank you very much.
