The Best Bits: The Sisters Have Turned

While the show is away we're taking a look back at some of our favourite bits.. like when Christian innocently went in for a haircut and somehow ends up in the middle of a full scale salon tribunal.

What starts as friendly chat with his hairdresser turns into a deep dive on modern dating, the phrase “I’m here for the plot,” and a Netflix drama that nearly caused a domestic incident at home. Christian explains why empathising with Four Seasons’ Steve Carell character keeps getting him into trouble with women everywhere.. including the stylist, the other clients, and, eventually, his own wife.

The Christian O'Connell Show returns Monday!

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I heart Podcasts.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
App Got anything good?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday I
was getting my haircut. Thank you, I do younger, very
kind of you all to say that on the team.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
And where I go.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I go every four weeks, okay, that's quite regulous, every
four weeks. And the young girl that cuts a right,
she's early thirties. And when I go in there, there's
never any men in there. I don't think there's ever
been a man other than me that goes there. When
I booked him to get my haircut there for the
first time last year, I get a very nervous lady

(00:54):
called me during the day the day before and I
could tell she was called and going are you a man?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Do you want a gentleman's haircut?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
And she was like, you know, poor, no is someone
there must have just got the junior to do it.
And she was like, oh, just dumb. I just want
to ask a few questions before seeing the former. Your
name is Christian and I was like, yes, this is Christian.
She goes, what would you like when you coming tomorrow,

(01:23):
And I went a haircut. She went okay, right, right,
right right, and so's the heck cut will be a
gentleman's a cut.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I went, yes, yes, yes, that's right, said okay, okay,
And I was like, do you do those sometimes we can?
We can hairs hair. Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's so every time I go in there, it's just
me and there's all women who were in there for
a couple of hours, all getting various treatments done really
to the hair, you know, the coloring pats, you know
you're in there, and so studdying. There's a guy and
every time I go in, all the women in there
look round like does he come to blog a sink?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Is he dropping off supplies? Is he the owner?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Then they go, oh my god, he's sitting down amongst us.
So when I'm in there, I then chat to her.
I love chatting to her. Right, She's a really interesting
young girl. She tells all about what's going on in
her life, completely different time of her life to me, right,
and a lot of it is kind of like she
always wants my take. Can you tell me from the
perspective a man, why does my boyfriend do this? So
I love going and amount times other women start chipping in,

(02:27):
I should podcast it.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes, yesterday though the sisters turned on me.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh my god, I almost I almost got twed apart yesterday.
It was fearsome. So we're talking about, you know, like
we all do, what TV shows that you enjoyed. At
the moment she goes by the way, she starts to say,
she said this phrase a couple of times I haven't
heard before. And I said, the second or third time
you said that, I'm here for the plot. Oh have
you heard that?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
What does that mean? Producer Tina, you're on the young Uns?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Have you heard that? She told me, this is what
the kids are saying. Now, I'm here for the plot.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, it's like he's for the drama. He's for the story.
Telling you something about going on between one of my
me and my kids.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
She went, oh, this is great. I'm here for the plot.
Oh and yeah, yeah, sorry, what the plot? Can you
tell me what it is?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I've lost the plot years ago.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Anyway, we start talking about a TV show that she
started to watch that we talked about a lot a
couple of weeks ago when it first came out on Netflix.
Brilliant drama for grown ups called four seasons. Ah, yes,
four couples start of every change of the season, go
away somewhere together for a long weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay. Steve Carrell is brilliant in it.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
However, he plays a man who walked out on his
family to hook up with a younger lady. Now she's
not in the twenties, she's in her forties, but she's
younger than and his wife gotcha. When we watched this, right,
I just thought, well, this is very relatable. It happens.
It happens, yeah, because one in three marriators breakup, not
mine twenty seven years getting stronger. My empathy with Steve

(04:03):
Carell's character created a lot of arguments for me and
my wife.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
What empathy was there to have? He's a human being.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Marriages break up sadly, but women women leave men, and
rightly so if they're not happy.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Everybody was arrogant about it. He was just revolting.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Poor Ann. What did had?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Sadly got boring? Dowdy, dank hair got.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Anyway, Pats, I never talked about this on air, but
now enough time has passed. Going out for dinner a
week after the show ended, and I started talking to
a waiter about it, and my wife said nothing and
the calm the way back. You know that thing on
the way back from Sometimes it can be one or
two k's.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
But it had a lot of damage. Can be done faster.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
My wife just snaps to me as we pull up
at the house, girl, which sounds like to me, you
want to have with the young woman. I'm here for
what happens to his character?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Question? Do I want to? Because she knows me so
well and I didn't know I was in the I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
You know when you can get high pitch? I don't
and I don't, I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Don't you start this salary back in there again? Anyway,
I've learned nothing. Now you understand what happened in the
hair dresses. We start talking about four seasons and I
go to old mate Coke my hair. We think of
Steve Carell's character. I thought, you know, it was a

(05:36):
very that happens. She went she literally put the scissors down.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, not a mic drop, scissor drop. She dropped sciss
like this.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
You've got walks away like this, hands up, She's she's
got to be kidding. Yeah, he was an ahole? What
he said, why do you have to be so arrogant?
Anne was lovely. I'm sat in the chair looking at
i'm an arguing with someone in that mirror. I'm going
Anne was downy.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
She had bad hair, your hair, It doesn't matter. You
don't get she bobble haircut and you gave up on
our sand.
