1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: In the world's best city. This isn't over one hundred.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: We've got showers today tops in nineteen and that's looking

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: all right out there now.

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I think those showers are going to come through.

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: It feels chillier than it has.

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: It was dark that afternoon, it was the clouds were out.

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: But you're right, it is the world's best city, and

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: time Out says, so.

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: It's official global time.

10
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: Out Timeout magazine. What's got more credibility? Time or Timeout

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: like in terms of street cred Time Out. Yeah. This

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: is a global survey twenty thousand people, the majority of

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: which voted Melbourne number one. Yeah baby, We're back baby,

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: And he was sitting at like number twenty nine or

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: something Adelaide, I think twenty nine to them. So I thought,

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: how do we celebrate? I mean, we celebrate all things

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: Melbourne every day, really we do. More recently, we've highlighted

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: the Seven Wonders of Melbourne. You know, we've done our

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: our Melbourne's best, of course. So I thought I'd sit

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: down and pen a little love letter to Melbourne.

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: Jesus, do you want some music?

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: I've got some music, Yeah, organized some music.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: Are you Melbourne's bachelor?

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Just before we hear it. Can you set the scene

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: like we're sitting on your caps. I saw the news

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: story come through and it just it elicits something strong,

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: a strong feeling inside of me. And I don't get

28
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: to write many love letters, so I thought, this is

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: my moment. Okay, I know we're taking the mickey, but

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: did you write it with a pen? I'm born and bred.

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: I love this place. I've had an opportunity to move

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: to Sydney and live in Sydney and I'm like, no,

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: why would I? I would call you mister Melbourne. Like

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: everywhere we go, someone knows you or you know someone,

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: and I love this place. As you're about you're going

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: to get a moment dear Melbourne or should I say

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: the best city in the world. To be fair, not

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: everyone one will agree with this title. In fact, a

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: chunk of people who live here will immediately tell you

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: why it's not true. They'll complain about the weather, the

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: other main line, the hook turns the length of a

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: brunch que or that annoying city link control room message

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: that interrupts a great song. Am I right? Yes, you

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: are right, b But that's the funny thing about you Melbourne.

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: Even the people who complain about you never really leave,

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: and if they do, they spend an awful lot of

47
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: time telling everyone how much better the coffee is here.

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Because beneath the grumbling, the scarves and the deeply held

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: opinions about which laneway bar does the best NEGRONI, you

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: are something special. You're a city where a late night

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: bowler pasta cures most problems, where you find the coolest

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: new bar hidden behind an unmarked door, where sport is

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: pretty much a religion, and the entire place collectively loses

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: its voice on AFL Grand Final Weekend. Yes, you're the galleries,

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: the gigs, the theaters and the festivals. You're the dumplings

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: at midnight, the bar and me at lunch debates over

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: where to get the best cross on hang on. I

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: think we settled this one on our show a few

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: weeks back. But most of all, you're the people people

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: who will happily argue with you about absolutely anything about food,

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: about politics, about footy, or about whether that motel on

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Peninsul Link was a waste of money. But in the

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: same breath they'll recommend a cafe or a bar, or

64
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: a park, a bakery, a show, or a hidden spot

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: you somehow never knew existed, or beg you to barrack

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: for their footy team, which, by the way, is a team.

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: We love, the team of the Red and the Blue.

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: Go time.

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Guess that's Melbourne. Shu, come on the pus. That's why

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: this title makes sense, because the best cities aren't just

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: made of buildings or bridges or skylines. They're made of

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: the people who fill them. The people who create the culture,

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: cook the food, cheer their teams and give the place

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: its pulse. Congratulations Melbourne. You probably won't brag about it,

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: but the rest of us will, especially to those who

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: live in that dumb Sydney.

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah and hanging in alow. Brother, love that we love Melbourne.

78
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: You know what love us love Jason, Lauren and Clint.

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Yes with well said and kindness well said.

80
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: I love this city the people. It's the people who

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: make this city.

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Wrap your arms around, fellow Merbernian's. Today

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: we are celebrating.

84
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Tell you what you start right, Love letters like that

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: to Yeah, anyone who breathes, I might get one's second.

86
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: Melbourne and Melbourne loves you back, brother, well sing.

87
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: It Lauren, Lauren wake out feeling good.
