Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Passy, please tell us the pumpkin story that happened.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
To you, Yester'm honestly I went home yesterday and Chris said,
of course this would only happen to you. I had
to go to the supermarket. I'm big on soup at
the moment, making up lots and lots of souper.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I don't know what this is, whether it's a wintering thing.
My wife is making batches of soup.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I had pumpkin soup yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Making pumpkin soup. Yeah, it's actually really nice. Yeah, you're
making leak and potato the other day.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh delicious.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I got all these old takeaway cards that she poured
in and then I have to go and take it
to the freezer.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
It's cottage industry we've got at the moment.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's just like a little soup Methla chipmunks preparing for
the winter.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, we stopped piling in the cave.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
No, so I bought a heap of pumpkin yesterday and
as I was going through the chick.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Heat, what's that three three pumpkins?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I bought three quarter ones you know how they cut
it up for you, because I can't cut up a
full big one.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I didn't know they want to take it to a
deli like a Now it's like.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Pre cart, just go for one fully too heavy though, jack.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Too heavy for my little hands to gotcha. Anyway, So
there was a lady in front of me as I
went to check out. I was emptying my trolley and
I was stupidly doing it with one hand and kind
of not looking at what I was doing. I was
in a hurry. It was school pickup time. I had
this small window of opportunity. So anyway, I'm chucking stuff
up on the conveyor belt. Only when I picked up
(01:28):
the pumpkin, it was in the plastic and it was
so slippery, and it just slipped out of my hand
and unfortunately hit the lady that was going through in
the middle of the shoulder blades.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Wow, I mean that is unfortunately. It feels dreadful aggressive.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's hard to say that's an accident because it's so
direct an accident.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It was an accident.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Heavy hand and I actually don't find that plastic slippery.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I rap it's quite very sticky. Didn't stick to my hands.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It feels like you were throwing a bit of a tantrum. Yeah,
not at all. Yeah, just sort of scooping them up
at pace.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh, I felt so bad.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Anyway, she took because actually, right there, even like a
half one or whatever, they still weigh a couple of pounds.
You really must have had to be scooping. It was
swinging that pool of yours.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, I was in a hurry, so I was like
chucking stuff on the confined between the shoulder bats, between
the shoulder bats. Anyway, she swung around and I said,
oh you again, And I said, oh, I am so
terribly sorry.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But even that sounds passive, like, oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But I felt incredibly embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
But she was very good about it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
She said, oh, well, who said we're smashing pumpkins here today?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I thought.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I was nearly tempted to go to the front end
lady and say, can I have you got video footage
of that?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Because it would I would love to see that stick
out the case for you. I'd love to see.

Money, Christian. I was riding my horse on a trail
in the bush. It was a tight track and had
a farm fence on my right. Bush on the left
is line in the songs.

I went to bawl with her and her back swinger
the bowl and ball hit me in the head.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
What do you say you went to bowl with her?
What do you mean? Were you like ghosting her?
Speaker 6 (05:33):
Or she was sort of left of the alleys to
the right, and so she had thought, we're trying it
to two balls down there, maybe one I'll make it
to the end. And yeah, so when she sung back.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Like Patsy, however, back swing if I've never seen anyone
do that sort of windmill, you just take it back
a bit, don't you actually got I think she knew
where you were.
Speaker 6 (05:55):

Fly a try out fly? I was fly fishing when
I was a lot younger than I am now, and
on the back cast because you're doing multiple casts to
get the way of the line out. The fly tapped
her on the side of the head, hooked her in
the scalp, and the tip of the line broke, a
very light line. I was unaware, kept on my casting,
(06:39):
and I only would away when Mom yelled out and
could feel the hook in the side of her head.

you're fly fishing is very light. It broke without my
actual knowledge. I was only fourteen or fifteen at the
time and just had kept on casting, practicing, And yeah,
I heard this yell behind me, and next thing I know,
I'm helping them remove a trout fly from the side
of her head.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That must have bloody hurt. It's not the scene in
There's Something about Mary Andrew.
