1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: First, Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Was just Anna Patsy just now a dishwasher has broken.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Been talking about my broken washing machine, and she referred

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: to it. There's playing cilly buggers. And I thought that

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: phrase playing city buggers is one of those old timey

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: phrases that are amazing.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: But they're going to die out, aren't they.

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: The younger generation, the TikTok generation, are not running with

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: and still integrating silly bugger?

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 3: Would you put fuddy duddy in there? A long time?

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: It's a bit fuddy duddy. Yeah, my wife and I

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: say that a lot. You can use it for anything,

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: can't you.

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: Even?

15
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: I remember we were count shopping a while ago and

16
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: I saw one and it was like one of these

17
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: ones where different people can be on different reclines.

18
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, but it was like it wasn't leather.

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: It was it was a leather replica, like a par

20
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: My wife still, we can't have that. They just look

21
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: a bit fuddy duddy, And I was deadline fuddy duddy.

22
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: It's putting a section. All the fuddy duddy stuff is

23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: over there.

24
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: And as soon as it's got that label, now, I

25
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: can't get away.

26
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: From it now. Now.

27
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: The other thing as well is beggars can't be choos

28
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: I said this the other month, right, and my kids

29
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: were like, wait, what does that?

30
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: What is that?

31
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: They didn't know what was talking about. Beggars can't be choosing.

32
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: I had to explain it to them even then. I

33
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: was trying to go it means, because you know, you

34
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: never had to explain it to someone that if you

35
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: haven't got a lot of money, you don't have a

36
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: lot of options. I went, yeah, okay, what does that

37
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: mean to what we're talking about? It doesn't matter, don't

38
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: I've talked before because I'm an adult, what you think.

39
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: The other one is I love the phrase gathering dust

40
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: and also pottering around. It's a nice word to say.

41
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: It's a flipping great thing to do. You know what,

42
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: You wander around, not really doing anything, but you just wondering.

43
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: You sit for a bit, won't you maybe have a

44
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: little look on YouTube and go I've done pottering around there,

45
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: I'll I'll go and stare out the window right now

46
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: at the neighbour's cars. That's all one of my gravestone

47
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: that I've simply I've not died. It's gone to potter

48
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: around somewhere else that actually just googled it. The the

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: dictionary definition to move from place to place doing trivial, random,

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: or aimless tasks. For as that is, this show between

51
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Monday to Friday is nothing but basically potsing around verbally.

52
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: That's what we do. A couple of other ones that

53
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,440

00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Hanky Panky is another one as well, where it's a

58
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,919

Speaker 1: up with that we still say, but they're going to

103
