Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Sometimes our mums, bless them, say quite strong warnings, a lot of them are, aren't they?

Often made up just to stop us doing something they don't want to do.

So it's kind of like behaviour they don't want, extreme situation will happen.

That's the equation,

isn't it? You know, it's like a really big threat if you do a certain thing equals death or slow agonizing pain. Face is being stuck that way for life. Losing your sight, taste,

something happening to your stomach. It's all of that, isn't it? For me, it was, my mum didn't want us to drink out of soft drink cans because the fear of

wasps flying into them.

And let's just, let's just say this, right?

Nature is beautiful.

Waps are vicious bastards, aren't they?

I hate the was.

What is the wasps problem with us? That's what, see, this was the warning I always got that they would go down my throat and on their way down they would sting the sides of my throat.

Come on, wasps.

What did we do to you?

Where does this come from?

What are your problems, wasps?

That's what David Amster called his next Netflix special, by the way.

Patsy, what's if you? Please tell us the Santa Claus one. Oh, Mum always threatened with us with Christmas Eve.

If we woke up before it was daylight to open our presents,

that Santa would be there and he'd throw pepper in our eyes.

So we were terrified.
