Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

I was talking about how we had a ant problem in our letterbox.

How's it going?

Let's just say they ain't coming back soon.

I laid down yesterday the ant traps, these sort of double-sided trays.

A lot of people recommended this.

You get 10 of them, you break them off, and they've got some sort of sugary, you know what? Yes. It's a gel, and you can place them anywhere, right? They're double-sided. So I'm laying these traps. I come in the S-A-S going, these guys have picked the long letterbox, my friends. And they're like, guys, pilot, they're like all over

it, thousands of them. You wouldn't believe. Yeah, yeah. And they're like running off with it.

I'm like, yeah, Ronald, you want to the queen? Why does she get to load of this stuff? You ain't coming back? They've all gone. Yeah. And as I'm doing it, right, but one of my daughters comes back she goes what do you doing when i'm laying these ant traps and there's going to be no more

problem and she went god it's so sad being a grown up went actually i can't believe that She goes, what do you doing? I'm laying these ant traps and there's going to be no more ant problem.

And she went, God, it's so sad being a grown-up.

Actually, I can't believe how I am disproportionately happy right now. I'm happy for you. I'm actually kind of jealous. I don't have an, so I can't see the look on their faces when they carry that gel back. I took photos to put on our group WhatsApp chat and went,

what are they going to do with this?

Would they be happy from here?

Would they go?

Was it before and after? I would have enjoyed that. I would have given you a lot. But I was so happy. I felt, I didn't text with my wife going, I've put those ant traps down. She was like, well done, Chris. Just a high-fiving each other from various suburbs. I thought this is what it is to be a grown-up. I'm taking a strange, disproportionate delight to laying down traps. I'm being a functioning adult for once. Oh, I've got one from just over the weekend. Something I've noticed that I've never done before. When I get home from a holiday now, I get my suitcase out straight away, unpack it, the clean clothes go back in the drawer, dirty clothes go in the wash.

First thing I do when I get home. Whereas I used to be, leave it for a week.

I'm still that guy. It's a week or two. You see that and it's all like strewn out there.

Even start rummaging to wear something down there.

It's an ugly reminder, isn't it?

That suitcase, yeah.
