Speaker 1 (00:01):
Got anything good. Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Yesterday I had one of the worst jobs completed that
I've ever done, and that was removing a dead possum
rest in peace from the ceiling of our house.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh my god, you did yourself well. Don't yuck? Yuck?
So has there been a smell smell since?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Actually Gordy's party.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And I thought, do you think one of one of
his mates had left? Review?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
I actually thought it might just be a bit of
food left down the side of some furniture. But yesterday
it started to really get okay, this is so bad.
It's either a pipe is burst under the house or
and I stuck my head into the manhole of.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
The roof and I was like, it's in the ceiling,
so could you see it?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Couldn't see it straight away, but you smelled to you
that it was coming from straight away. I knew, all right,
this is my job to fix this. Even though Bianca
likes to say that there are no gendered roles in
our house, I knew straight away. It's like I would
be climbing up there and getting this.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
It's an awkard thing to say, but it's just the
same with me and my wife right at some moment
there comes down to a crossroads where I look at
my wife and go, isn't ama. We're now in this
world now where you can do anything you want. I
can do anything I want, and yet there's a horrible
task that needs to be completed, normally involving a dead animal.

(01:25):
My wife will look at me like after you and
then same with you. Yes, you had to go and
deal with it.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
There's not even a really I thought of going. Well,
the roof is a small place and you are a
small lady. If you could, you could probably maneuver through
the roof system better than I could. But no, there
was no mention of it. So, like Arnie and Predator
walking through the air fence, I got up there and
that it's hot up there.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Even on a lukewarm day, but really hot sum At.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
The moment I asked chat GPT, how what I do?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Did you just say? Man up? Like like what do
I need to glow bulls?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So it suggested gloves, shovel, garbage bags, shovel.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
How big is this possim? They are smash it on
the head.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Up the bigger than you think a little tiny thing
in a tree. This is a brushtail, not animal.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Those big bug eyes.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Patsy tell him, oh there, she said.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Where she eats. They just bite their heads off with
their mouths. Should be like a small please them raw.
They are like.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
You used to probably some kind of British possum, tiny
little yeah, a shrew you can fit in a tea
cup or you needed.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
A teaspoon to don't get over the head?

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Where had it died in the roof space?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Like what furtherest furthest possible to be right place from
the manhole. So I was up there going all over
all the insulation bats. I hate been in there anyway.
You've got to be careful because there's like electric accords
all of.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
That, especially because our friend did the reno.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
But I did took the bags up. You took the shovel.
You couldn't believe how you don't need the shovel in
cl space like needs two of us to get now.
But he's done, He's gone, rest in peace, love to
his family.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
But how good did you feel walking out the house
having dealt with a horrible problem of that?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Don't you feel great?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I just felt like he is in terms of like
who should get great status in the family.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
That day, Wow, anywhere as you're going to go that fucking.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I probably mentioned it about six times that afternoon.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Your wush son out and made him inside of him.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
You want great status because you took a dead animal.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I just kept mentioning under my breath. I was like, well,
I can't believe.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I did that. You believe Gordon died? What a dad?
I just felt right saying anyone else want to say
it for me? What a great status? Dat The Christian
