Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Did you have anything unusual in your backyard?

Jackie Boy, you had a plank of wood with a hole in the middle of it.

No, it was loose handball, I'll have you say.

And it was it was it you and your brother, you and your old man taking each other on?

Yes, my uncle built it for us, actually.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

And I don't know if you guys ever had a tree house. I asked my dad for a treehouse with a very

small, weak-looking tree. And my dad said it was not big enough for treehouse.

When I look back now, I remember as a kid, I was so excited with this. I look back now,

it's the saddest thing, right? All he built up there, because there wasn't a lot of room and I just don't think he could be bothered was a was a sawn off plank of wood that he just nailed between two semi branches so it's a seat

but I could never fit it was only enough for me and half a mate to get half a you could fit

three buttocks on there right but not four so it was always very uncomfortable for friend to be

up there so that was our tree house and And underneath it, I had my punch bag.

It looked, it looked, it looked bogan.

It just looked rough.

I had the same thing.

I asked for a tree house, expected something that, you know, you'd see on the Simpsons or stand by me.

Stand by me.

I said, Dad, make stand by me.

Okay. I said, Dad, mate stand by me, okay? And I got a, just a sort of plank of wood.

Yeah, we had a platform in the trade.
