Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

I am definitely a loser.

Yesterday on the show, I was talking about how last week I was supposed to go into IKEA over the weekend, and I did a deal with the devil.

I said, hey, why don't we do that on Monday when it's quieter?

Monday was a gorgeous yesterday. Is the devil your wife in this situation?

I'm not quite clear on that.

Like I said, everything's coming in hot right now.

Am I the devil? It's the Swedish show. What is your return at IKEA? I'm not sure. Who is the devil in the story, to be honest? The devil is in the detail and in the story. Anyway, yesterday I had to go to IKEA after the show. Oh, no. No. I was, yeah, Alex, yes.

I was hungry and apparently there was no time for me to pre-feed.

Oh, well, there's a big mistake right there.

I have to be honest, I had one the worst public meltdowns I've ever had.

Oh, look at toddler.

It was like a 50-something toddler, basically.

It was bad. I kid apologised to my wife. I don't know. I can't get out of this. No, I meant IKEA. I can't get out of this. The big thing I did right, my wife is constantly running late. So I got there like before her and I need to get a desk for myself. So I think, I'll just pop into the, we were there to do click and collect. I thought, I'll just quickly go upstairs to the showroom, jog in, jogging, no, no, no, no. Oh my God. So I, first of all, it takes days that labyrinth going round, like Narnia. Just go see where the office desks were. I see two or three. I like a car. I take the photos and the strange names. And then I go to an employee, how do I get out of here as quick as possible? I said, I see, you just came out that door there. And she went, oh, that's not for customers. What's through the other side door? A slide down to the car park? Yes, there are doors. I've seen these doors. Yeah, I saw her just come out of the door. She went, don't go through that door. I was trying to run through it. Would she tackle me? Lime's going on. They fire Swedish meatballs at me. She was going to go, she was going, she actually said to me, you need to get back on the path and follow the arrows and don't come off the path. Oh, wow. I was like, hang on a minute, if I'm back on that path, I'm going to be going through everywhere in the house. That's what they want. Toilets, kitchens, the bathrooms. I only came to look at office desks. They must do research about you spend extra money with that windy, windy, windy, wind. 100%. Cameras everywhere. Yes. And you know they're doing it to you, but you still can't help it. You're like, I know you're making me go through the coat hanger section and this is a deliberate plot, but I do need some more coat hangers. By the way, they've got,

I did buy some coat hangers. Oh, some nice wooden ones? Yes, they were nice, wooden ones with a kind of nice rounded shoulder. Yes. I don't like it when he used a hanger and it leaves that. Too sharp wings. Yes.

Yes.

Yes, that.

Especially on a knitted sweater.

Well, the good people at IKEA, they've rounded it out there in Sweden.

And so anyway, go on. that. Too sharp. Crazy. Yes. Yes. Yes. That. Especially on a knitted sweater. Well, the good people at IKEA, they've rounded it out there in Sweden.
