Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Every single show.
The show is maybe you guys, your stories are stories?
Three ways? Should just share your stories? Today? Any stories
about a wrong gore? What was the other side of it?
On thirteen fifty five twenty two. Also this morning we
(00:22):
looking for stories about having made a very large order
of just one thing. I remember when one of my
daughters was turning ten. She had a classmates. We'd hid
this village hall for a birthday party, and there's so
much pressure. You want them to have a great time.
You want all their friends have a good time because
they all sort of gossip about each other's parties. So anyway,
I thought, I need a load of helium balloons. So
I went into this some party shop run by the
(00:44):
most miserable human being. It was almost ironic that the
most miserable man I've ever encoded in my life was
running this party shop. I get it, I guess, with
all that fun coming in through the door, it just
did something to him. Anyway, So I need twenty five
helium balloons and he goes, okay, right, well I can
pump them up in all this and he said he
part nearby, and there was nowhere nearby. Part It was
like a five to ten minute warm He said come
(01:05):
back tomorrow morning. That's when the party was at eight am.
And he actually said word for word, keep knocking because
he lived above the place, and I get the feeling
he was going to he's someone who has he needs
to be woken up at eight am. He enjoys a drink.
There was just, you know, there's just a vibe about
some people that and I was like, just just keep
knocking the guy who runs the party shop, Okay. Anyway,
next morning I go there, I keep knocking it. I'm
(01:27):
there five minutes kicking this door as well. I'm thinking
I had one job to get these. I need these
twenty five balloons. Anyway, all mates literally looks like he
hasn't slept in about five days. He starts pumping up
these helium balloons. And then I don't know if you've
ever tried to corral helium balloons. Not easy. They just
want to go up right, they don't want to be
herded and crowd. Now it's suddenly caught up bast stay
(01:48):
on a Sunday morning, I've got twenty five. I'm alone,
I've got a five minute walk. I can barely see
at times because they're floating in front of my face,
just twenty five of them. Then it was like a
uc Tito fight, trying to wrestle them into the car.
As they're floating in the car, coming back out towards me.
I'm trying to not pop them, obviously, because I need
twenty five. The car fills with them. I'm actually shut
(02:10):
the door. They're in the driver's seat, the passenger seat,
the back seats, they're everywhere. I'm I'm actually open the
driver's door. Push them away from me. Get in. I
can't see out of it. There's no way of seeing
the rear view mirror. Absolute nightmare. So have you got
any stories about a single order of one thing? Sorry,
very big, large order of one thing. Let us know
on thirteen fifty five, twenty two and good morning, morning crew.
(02:34):
How are you? Yeah, we're good. Welcome to the show.
And so you've got a story about setting a track?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I did. I set a trap for my eighteen year
old son. My husband and I were heading away in
the state for a weekend and I just had a
sneaky suspicion moving an eighteen year old boy at home
could perhaps get up to a bit of mischief. So
I did all my gin bottles into.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Probably last very sophisticate eighteen year old gin. I love botanical.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It was free, so of course, so I hid all
the gin in a drink bottle, filled it up with water,
came home at the end of the weekend, said feel
like a gin and tonic? Do you want one? To
my son? And he goes and he just looked at
me blankly, and he's like maybe. And so I made
us a gin and tonic with gin, and he said,
this test really.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Different, a lot stronger than what I was drinking on
the weekend longer.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And so now five years later, when I still make
a gin and tonic, I just look at him sometimes
and he just smirks.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Thee a Paceibo drinks what they were all having as well,
Like God, this stuff is so strong. Anyone else so
wrong right now? And thank you very much the story.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Thanks guys, have a great one.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Samantha Brackets, English, good morning.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Good morning, Hello, how are you all?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We're very well.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Mine is a wrong door, a major wrong door. So
I just finished night shift and I drove straight away
all the way down to kill Thiland, about a two
and a half hour drive, and part my car got
out of it, and I was visiting my friends for
a long weekend. Knock on the door, no answer, So
I'll just try it. Walked in, looked around, looked to
(04:14):
the right. I haven't made their bed. That's unusual. Never mind,
go in. Look for the spare room. Thought that's different.
There's normally bunks in here. Actually it was an office.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
None of these.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So I had my tiller, I had my overnight bag,
I had everything all under my arm. So I thought, well,
I'll just planked them in this room. Anyway, it looks
this one looks made. Did that? Went back into the lounge.
They had a blue lounge, right, that's great. Turned around,
thought kitchen's messy. That's unusual. Turned to the left, thought,
oh my gosh, Oh no, no, no, there's a cabinet
(04:50):
here with those dinky dye metal racing cars. No, oh
my god. I'm now mortified. I ran back to the room,
grabbed my stuff and bolted very quickly out the door.
Next door, I'd gone into number twenty seven. My friends
lived in twenty five.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Just a small difference, but a very big difference.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
My my eye stopped. I literally sprose in that kitchen,
and thank goodness that man wasn't home. I did tell him,
I did tell him when I met him.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, yeah, man him later in the day, and yeah, yeah,
make the bed and the kitchen as well. Now about
those dinky cars. Bit old for that, aren't you why?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I was mortified?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, all right then, Samantha, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, thank you. You have a lovely day, and you will.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Livia Coleman, thank you very much. Let's go too, Let's
go to It's like the Rocky Horse song. I turned
to the left, I turned to the right. I turned
back around again. And good morning.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Anne, Good morning Christian.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
When my dad was a secondary store treacher, he said
a tripp. He was getting annoyed with a group of
boys who were constantly getting into the toilets to smoke,
and so he and a colleague decided they would go
in and wait until the smoke started.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Rising from the cubicle.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
So, sure enough, the smoke went up, and the two
teachers either side threw a bucket of water over the
petition into the cubicle, and theos was caring. The only
problem with this was that it turned out it wasn't
a student, it was one of the other teachers.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
On a sneaky smokeo. That was probably the highlight of
that guy's day. Just a minute on a dance, Oh,
just a field and brilliant story. Thank you very much.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
