| 0:11.1 | Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. |
| 0:18.3 | I am such a Monday loser. |
| 0:24.7 | So is my wife. So is our house. So is our family. So is our front room. I did a thing yesterday with good intentions. But sometimes in life, there is a big difference |
| 0:30.3 | between intention and impact. That's my story of yesterday. My wife's had been mumbling over the |
| 0:36.3 | weekend about, God damn it, Chris, this rug, this rug, does it look filthy to you? And it was like a grey rug. So I can't really see it, but I sometimes think that a man's eyes, men's eyes, DNA-wise, I think don't see an exact great detail that women's eyes do. I agree. The amount of time I go, I can't find something in the fridge. |
| 0:55.5 | And I go, where the hell is the mayonnaise? |
| 1:12.6 | And it's just in front of me, so slightly the left. Yes, have you had a boy look? Wow, I just didn't, I didn't see that. You know, amazing, those hawk eyes you've got. So I couldn't notice that this grey rug is apparently looking a bit lacklustia. So I came home yesterday. I thought, do you know what, I'm going to surprise my wife. I'm going to clean this bloody rug. |
| 1:11.4 | You know when you start something thought, do you know what? I'm going to surprise my wife. |
| 1:12.6 | I'm going to clean this bloody rug. |
| 1:27.8 | You know when you start something like, why did I even bother with this? First of all, this rug is about four metres by four meters. It's a perfect square. I have to move the couch, right? The L-shaped couch off it by myself, right? That's hard work. Then I have to drag it outside to the deck arrow. |
| 1:29.4 | I thought, I'll clean it somehow. |
| 1:27.8 | So again, you try, it's a very dense... it by myself, right? That's hard work. Then I have to drag it outside to the deck arrow. |
| 1:33.0 | I thought, I'll clean it somehow. So again, you try, it's a very dense, heavy, it's like chain mill. So it's like, I'm not, how, how do you actually move? They're not meant to be moved. So it's not, |
| 1:40.2 | so it took at least 45 minutes to get it out to the back deck and then think, I'll draper over the table we've got out there |
| 1:46.9 | so I can beat it with a broom and clean it, okay? So even that, it's like, I stuck a workout. I didn't bother going to the gym. I was at the core, the muscle's being burnt here. Joe Rogan needs to get rugs in his gym. So I get it all up, I get a brimmer, I start whacking it, okay? |
| 2:00.3 | Dust is coming off. |
| 2:01.2 | And I thought, do you know what? |
