Quest.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I mean we had I think a couple of months
ago there was a bizarrely high electricity bill and I
rang the company and they were like and they were like,
normally we see this kind of usage an household of
eight people, how many there. There's the three of us
at the moment. Occasionally the other daughter comes back for
a bit, but this is no house of Hey, the
dogs are using a lot of energy. We're running a
(00:25):
foster home here or something like that. And she went, well,
what I advise her, as you go around the houses,
check and I went up checked, this is the normal stuff.
She went, just do one more chat. Anyway, my daughter
comes back every couple of weeks from university. And I
went into her bedroom and then, for some reason, some
intuition said, touched the electric blanket. I was like, no, no, nosha,
(00:46):
it was real toastly wow. It had been left on
for about three and a half weeks, twenty four to seven,
just ready for when she comes back. It's like, I
don't ever turn that off. She'd be back one day.
Just leave that electric banker until his hair for your ruby.
Christian O'Connell Show podcast. All right, so what got left on?
(01:08):
Good morning, Matt's by guys. Are you going, Yeah, we're
good Matt. What's your story about what got left on?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Dad had a pretty big day of local footy and
my brother and I got home later on and walked
open the door to a house full of smoke and
the heap of burning fat straight to the nostrils. He'd
put a steak on them falling asleep. Was the size
of a twenty cent coin when we had a look
at it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And pretty well done. I think this one's done. Should
be right?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, pretty much?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I need another minute on there on the other side.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, so mum and dad thought I will just leave
the windows open for a while. That's that smell will disappear,
that burning fat smell. They had to end up repainting
the house to get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Bad coachd in the walls.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah for a movie A smelly.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I bet forever.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Matt.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Thank you very much for the story, mate, that's a great one.
Have a good day, Sam. Good morning. Yeah, sorry, Hello,
it's customary, Tam.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, I'm here. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Hello, All right, Okay, Sam, that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This is a little bit of civility. That's all we need. Now,
it's funny to be rude, Sam. So you're doing a
school right at the moment, or not the school when
you got your fifteen year old in the car. I
actually just drive my best friend to the airport.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
She's going to Barley this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So yeah, lovely, lovely, Well, no wonder you're a bit touching,
Smeran airport run always a fun run, that isn't it.
Get out to tell the marine, now, Sam, what got
left on my contact lenses? A few years ago? I
had a massive night and unfortunately I was put in
bed and nobody knew I had tach lenses in.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
They got so bad that they crusted.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Over badly day.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I couldn't get my eyes open for nearly two days,
and I had.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
A driving lesson the next morning which had to be canceled.
You're kidding, it was that bad. Yeah, it was that bad.
Crossed the eyes with water a hose.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It took a lot of a lot of warm water.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Get nothing like a big night out before a driving test. Obviously.
I really took that one seriously by having an all
night bender before. I mean, they don't breathalyze you beforehand,
because I don't think they need to not just that right.
(03:46):
I wish you'd know before sund goes on. The producer
Rio was obviously just being aware of like we we
adhere to a code of practices on the show here,
and he was like, Hey, when you come on here,
you don't really need to say this stuff about you know,
the all night drinking and that, you know, because there
might be kids listen. We don't want to condone that behavior. Yeah.
I was an old night man. I got put into beds.
(04:07):
I couldn't open my eyes for two days. Who's got
a story like that? Wait the day you're driving test. Wow,
some of you just slipped through the net. It's like
sneaking past the bouncers at the nightclub. How do you
