Speaker 6: want me to like miss a gag. I didn't want

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 6: to do that. There's also a situation that this stinky

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: flower has bought with it mosquitoes the size of elephants,

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 6: like you've never seen anything like it, So we're covered

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 6: in in.

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: Tropical I just realized who you are. You're like Carl

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: Steffanova at a Trump rally, you know he runs for

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: the source or like, oh, floods in Queensland. We're live

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 5: from there now.

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys know much about the flower,

43
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 6: but it is it will die after this. It's only

44
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 6: a live like this for like twenty four to forty

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 6: eight hours. And they are comparing it this line of

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 6: people to like scenes in London when the Queen was

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 6: in waiting. You know, it's like that for Geelong, where

48
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 6: everyone's like, we might find David Beckham in the line,

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 6: if we're lucky.

50
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 5: Someone might die.

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: Remember Bex walked past the queen and sobbed avernyone's sobbing

52
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: as they will.

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 6: That could be me. Clease. There is also a live

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 6: stream of the flower, and I'm very concerned I might

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 6: go in.

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: And hell, mate, if you spin on the live stream,

57
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 5: I'll give you one hundred dollars. That's the sort of

58
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 5: stuff Kimmel would run. You'd go viral.

59
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 6: And now I've also heard that the stink comes in waves,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 6: and last night you could smell a stink all the

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: way down to the teahouse at the Botanic.

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: Really, so, Lauren, I'm just looking at the people lined

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 5: up behind you at the moment. It is a steady

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: stream and we're not taking the piss here. This thing's

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: been open all night.

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 6: Yes, so look, the flower came into bloom yesterday just

67
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 6: after our show. I took four to five hours to open.

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 6: I was glued to the live stream. I haven't been

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: this excited about something since I can't actually remember how.

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: I had the live stream on in the Channel nine

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: news room. Oh yeah, and the people huddled around my

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: computer question question. Forget about the real news.

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: Because the flower was dilating yesterday when I left.

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: The walker was opening up.

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 5: Yes, when she opened did it go.

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 6: Apparently?

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 8: Not?

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 6: Apparently?

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah so.

80
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 6: And also there's lots of people that are trying to

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 6: like stick their head right in the flower, but you can't.

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 6: You can't smell. If you're whiff too close, you'll miss

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: the waft. It's like the it's all We've gotta be

84
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 6: away from the flower slightly to get there.

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: In the world today cares Clint that.

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 6: All cares what else has happened in the world. This

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 6: is the biggest story that's happened in Victoria.

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: Long term, we're going to try and track down some

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: big names of Geelong to talk to the smell.

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 6: I text Tom Hawkins because and I said, have you

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 6: heard about the stinky flower? And this is before the

Speaker 6: hoho of the last twenty four hours And he said, well,

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: someone told me about it in the middle of a

94
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 6: polarates class. And I said, gosh, you wouldn't want that

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 6: smelling a hot polarates.

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: Tom Hawks doings, he's.

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: Doing a twenty five day challenge of some such things.

98
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: Quickly.

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Isn't Jay Hawkins a real convert? Because we were.

100
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 6: No I don't want to know about this.

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: Look at the flower.

102
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 5: Hang on, not a convert yet, No, I want to

103
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: I don't.

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 6: Want to know about it. I don't want to know

105
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: about it. And I said, it's got to get to

106
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 6: forty degrees. And then he was texting me saying, guys, flowers,

107
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 6: thirty one to go. We've got a temperature check on

108
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 6: the flowers.

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 5: I was having a lot of flashbacks too when we

110
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 5: had our sons. When the flower started dihilating, I was like,

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 5: I know what's next.

112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 6: Many people have also compared it to the flowering Dennis

113
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 6: the Menace. They're flowering Dennis the Menace that he ruins.

114
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 6: It only the corpse lily that only opens for like

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 6: four seconds. It's a very similar scene to that.

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: Mister Willson, I believe you just compared the corpse flower

117
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: to your wife giving birth.

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: Are you okay?

119
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 6: Many people come out to see her.

120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: No, No, we didn't have lines and she wasn't open

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 5: for twenty four hours. I'll tell you that. I am

122
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: coming up. We've got to go. I thanks. That makes

123
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: the bed shed. We're going to be playing celebrity sleepover

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 5: in the next twenty minutes. But coming up next as

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: much as I'd love to talk to you about the flower,

126
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 5: We're going to talk to a professional. Who have you

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 5: got down there? Joining us?

128
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 6: Next love, Oh, Kelly from the Geelong Botanic Gardens is

00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 6: going to join us. She actually knows what's going on

130
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 6: with this flower. It's got a more formal name than

131
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 6: this stinky flower. To find out what it is short,

132
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 6: he will try and get some people who are also

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 6: coming out of the greenhouse jury not available, see how

134
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 6: they're coping with the WAFT.

135
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 5: I think we should be doing a welfare check on

136
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: anyone's lined up four hours to come and see the flower. Guys,

137
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: can I set the scene to kick things off? I

138
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: give you choice of arn and Bloom perfect. This is

139
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: Omber one hundred Cleat. You have been a journalist Channel

140
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,599

141
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: was just telling you the ad break. I've done some

142
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 5: stories in my time. Once upon a time to store

143
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: in a town with no TV, no TV because the

144
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 5: areill blew over twenty people in the town.

145
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: I TV. There's another one. A bunch of bridesmaids.

146
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: Their bridesmaids dresses didn't arrive, so they walked down the

147
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: aisle in pajamas and Betty Boop thongs.

148
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,200

165
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 10: It was an amazingly cool job. We've had a beautiful

166
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 10: garden and now it's taken the next level.

167
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720

Speaker 5: your rockstart.

169
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 6: Seriously, it's like Justin Bieber's down here when Kelly walks around.

170
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 6: So Kellie, talk us through it. We are here because

171
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 6: the Corpse Flower, which flowers once every seven to ten

172
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: years is finally in bloom. Did you know it was

173
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: going to be this week?

174
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 9: No?

175
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Wow?

176
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 6: So how much warning did you get?

177
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 10: We have had thirteen days of warning this time last

178
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 10: two weeks ago. We had no idea that we were

179
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 10: going to have a corpse flower. That's how fast and

180
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 10: incredible this plant is.

181
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: And so it'll only bloom for how long?

182
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 10: Twenty four to forty eight hours. But it's been out

183
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 10: now eleven thirty. This morning will be twenty four and

184
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 10: then you'll see a slight decline.

185
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: I've got many questions as well, so far away. How

186
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: many of these flowers are there in Australia.

187
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 10: In Australia, in the hood, in in our hood, there's

188
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 10: two right right in Adelaide is where we got them from.

189
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 9: They're the meccha in Australia for growing them.

190
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 6: The stinky city. I feel like there's would stink more

191
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 6: than ours too, don't you think?

192
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: Yes?

193
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 10: Yes, Melbourne cans has one, Sydney has a couple, not

194
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 10: many in Australia.

195
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 6: And there's only about a thousand in the world.

196
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Is that right?

197
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're right right up there, Tiger can.

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 6: We let's.

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 5: If I see a Netflix show called Corpse What was it?

200
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 5: Corpse will be the next series Corpse.

201
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 6: Flower, hosted by Kelly Kels.

202
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 5: You were saying, it's going to start to look like

203
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: we'll start to close up at eleven o'clock today.

204
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 10: No, not closed, but you'll see it won't be as magnificent.

205
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 9: It will still smell.

206
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: It'll still what's the smell? Please?

207
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 10: Like, I'm one hundred percent plant nerd, and I was

208
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 10: dubious that a plant could put out a smell that

209
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 10: represented a dead animal.

210
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 9: And that's exactly what it smells like.

211
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: Is it constantly smelling like that? Every now and then

212
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: it just goes.

213
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 10: At the start, it was sending off like wofts every

214
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 10: now and again, but it's quite constant. And then I

215
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 10: came in this morning and I reckon it's changed to

216
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 10: about dead fish.

217
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 9: Now?

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Has anyone gad?

219
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 8: Oh?

220
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, one of our awesome haughties here, Lucy, who's been

221
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 10: working in the nursery and looking after it. We got

222
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 10: her right up close and personal yesterday and her face

223
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 10: was hilarious.

224
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 6: So we've gone because I heard it was stinkiest last night,

225
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 6: people saying the waft was going all the way through

226
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 6: the gardens down to the tea house on a level

227
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 6: of stink.

228
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 10: How stinky is it this morning? I think it's still there.

229
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 10: I reckon it's a good eight. Yeah, it's not constant.

230
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 6: I haven't been inside yet, guys, so I'll be heading

231
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 6: in shortly. I'm sure. Like state riveting radio, stay tuned once.

232
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: So once once this once it starts to wilt. Say

233
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 3: what actually happens to it? Is it dead and you've

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: got to turf it in the skip? Or is it

235
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: in ten years time?

236
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 2: Does it? No?

237
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 9: Not dead? No, no, not dead.

238
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 10: It's got a huge underground storage that we call a corn.

239
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 6: Under a carriage, and it just like a big potato.

240
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 10: It looks like a big potato pumpkin. And so all

241
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 10: the storage is in there, and when the flower starts

242
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 10: to wilt, some of the energy will go back and

243
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 10: then and then it'll take another ten.

244
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 6: So well, if we still have our jobs, then guys,

245
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 6: we might come back in ten years time to see

246
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: it again.

247
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Do you have merch?

248
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: No?

249
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 9: Oh no we did.

250
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 10: We heard you sold out of the well. We won't

00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,320

252
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,120

Speaker 16: I was given a laptop of the age as twelve

564
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 16: by my sister who I live with. My sister and

565
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 16: her partner, and I had forgotten to close the browser

566
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 16: and he used my laptop from time to time and

567
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 16: I opened it up to something that you probably shouldn't

568
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 16: have seen confronted me about it as she as you would.

569
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 16: I said, no, denied it, whatnot. And so then she

570
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 16: thought that it was her partner.

571
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 6: Did you let him take the blame?

572
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 16: Roasted him?

573
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 5: That's strong, is strong?

574
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not owning up for that. If there's someone

575
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 6: you can handle the blame too.

576
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 5: This wasn't me, I'm telling you, it wasn't me. In fact,

577
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 5: he'll kill me for saying. But good mate of mine,

581
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 18: was sitting on the laptop of the kitchen table watching

582
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 18: something else.

583
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,399

592
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: going into a childcare center, just only what two weeks

593
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: after that tragic accident at that school, in Melbourne, and.

594
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 3: Our thoughts to the Bryant family this morning. Eleanor Bryant

595
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 3: was forty three. She died as she actually tried to

596
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 3: rescue or pushed the children out of the way inside

597
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 3: that kindergarten.

598
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 5: She's a hero.

599
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Riddles Creag. It's just extraordinary. The kids and the

600
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 2: parents and the teachers there at mob Sorry Preschool. We

601
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: are thinking of you this morning.

602
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 6: Such a tragedy absolutely.

603
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: And the little boy, the three year old who's currently

604
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: in hospital with some pretty bad arm injuries.

605
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 6: Our teachers and educators Clinton and Jace, they do such

606
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 6: an amazing job. So a shout out to all of

607
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 6: the teachers and educators out there this morning. You do

608
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 6: so much for the kids in this great state and

609
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 6: that is just a tragic, tragic story. Thoughts very much

610
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 6: with the community this morning.

611
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 5: I was just saying, like, only what two weeks ago

612
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: when that tragic accident happened with the car going through

613
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 5: the fence at the school. I mean, even that morning

614
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 5: there was so much anxiety amongst parents sending their kids

615
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: to school the next day, and then you know, with

616
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 5: what happened at the daycare yesterday here in Melbourne.

617
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: It's just you know, inside those four walls, there's such

618
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: such an innocence.

619
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 5: That's then I was saying to Lure my wife last night.

620
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: Up until two weeks ago, when you would drop the

621
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: kids off at school or daycare, it was almost like

622
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 5: you didn't even think about it.

623
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: You were just like a safe place.

624
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 5: They were the safest place possible. See at three o'clock,

625
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: it was just it was the last thing that would

626
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 5: go through your mind.

627
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 6: And how do you feel Jason keeps to school.

628
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 5: Anxiety about it at the moment. I mean I felt

629
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: that two weeks ago, after the tragic events that happened

630
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 5: at that school, and then just seeing what happened yesterday,

631
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 5: it's just like, why the hell, it's just a reminder.

632
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 3: Onelike the incident at Auburn South, it sounds like that

633
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: the driver involved did suffer a medical episode. So it's

634
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: just it's it sounds like a freak accident and it

635
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: is utterly heartbreaking.

636
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: But our thoughts are with that community. This morning, it

637
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: has just gone seventeen past seven.

638
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: This is no.

639
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 5: Over one hundred. It's the weed. Everyone's talking about it.

640
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 6: We should do the whole show on it.

641
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: The corpse plant is an actual plant, corpse flower has

642
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: voyaged in the Botanic Gardens a flatter space.

643
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: That's right. We are alive from the Geelong Botanic Gardens

644
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 5: this morning. One Lauren Phillips is on location with the

645
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: Smelly Korean Plant assignment.

646
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 6: Lauren, it is a very important assignment. You are right.

647
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 6: This is an iconic moment in Geelong's history, in Victoria

648
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: is history. The corpse plant has bloomed. Can I set

649
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 6: the scene for you? I woke up at four o'clock

650
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 6: this morning and just quickly checked the live stream with

651
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: thinking there won't be a person in there. Well, the

652
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 6: line was three four hundred meters long at four am.

653
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 6: It has been going all night because this plant only

654
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 6: blooms for twenty four to forty eight hours and it

655
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 6: stinks like dead fish.

656
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: You thick? Do you think people outside? Apparently that's how

657
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: Victoria get it. Like I know, We're in a meeting

658
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 5: yesterday with our bosses and we said to Sarah, our

659
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: bosses in Sydney, how were we going to go lie from

660
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 5: the Geelong Potentic Gardens tomorrow for the smelly plant? Right?

661
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: She loved it. She loved it. And this is the

662
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 6: thing about Victorian's right. We love hype. We get so

663
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 6: excited about things like the freeway is full of people

664
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 6: racing to get down here to get a glimpse because

665
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 6: it's got such a small window the line at the moment.

666
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: And look, it is an absolutely sparkling morning down here,

667
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 6: but the line would be six seven hundred meters long.

668
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 6: People are waiting to.

669
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: Victorians love it.

670
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 6: We love it, And all of a sudden we're all

671
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 6: plant enthusiastic.

672
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: You take that Sydney Harbor. We got the corpse plant

673
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: well today.

674
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 6: And you know what, and then it dies and it

675
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 6: rebirths itself or some such thing, and then it'll be

676
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 6: back in seven to two years. But well, that is

677
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 6: a good question. What will last long with the corpse

678
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 6: plant or us Jose? But I have been catching up

679
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 6: with a few of the very excited lolders down here

680
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 6: who are just as excited as I am. Mike and Beth,

681
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 6: you've just been in to see the corpse plant. How

682
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 6: was it?

683
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 7: It's like a distant dead mouse. It's like, ah, there's

684
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 7: a small dead animal just over there. So it's not

685
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 7: really that pungent, but it's definitely like decaying small things.

686
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, one.

687
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 19: Of those you know, oh, I really should probably check

688
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 19: under the fridge sort of, you know, move, move it

689
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 19: out and see.

690
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 6: It's not a smell you don want floating around your house.

691
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 7: No, no, but it could be much more pungent than

692
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 7: it is.

693
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 6: Well, I heard last night it was like peak stink.

694
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 6: It's sort of mellowed out a bit, and it's going

695
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 6: to get peak stinky again.

696
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: Oh is it?

697
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: I want to smell that we may have to come

698
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: back for a re smell.

699
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 6: They're coming back for around two or was a vibe

700
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 6: like in the line or people excited?

701
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 7: People are excited and people are really patient. And there

702
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 7: was one lady from the community who was going around

703
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 7: and giving everyone a mosquito repellent.

704
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 19: Yes, like her own supply of just coming along ago.

705
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 19: Do you need something to use some say yes, if

Speaker 5: Okay on pack they were devo.

712
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 6: They didn't get a peak stink.

713
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: So I'm noticing a lot of people are there for

714
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 5: the smell.

715
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 6: But it is actually a beautiful flower as well.

716
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 5: Apparently it's quite per Apparently it's like the site you

717
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: you haven't seen it yet because we've said don't go

718
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: inside the greenhouse just yet.

719
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 6: No, you won't let me in for a smell, for

720
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 6: a sniff. But I was watching the live stream and

721
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 6: there's people in there like really not coping with the smell.

722
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 6: But last night, apparently the smell was coming out of

723
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: the greenhouse and like wafting all through the botanic gardens.

724
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 6: With this morning, I don't know, maybe it's a little

725
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 6: still here this morning, the waft isn't wafting as much.

726
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: I've just done a Google job. Yeah, the armor pothhallus titanium,

727
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: as it's more commonly.

728
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 6: Known, that rolls off the tonguehovers titanium.

729
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: If you're in America, you can actually buy one online.

730
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 5: Oh we go, we must buy one.

731
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 6: We must go, and then wait ten years for it

732
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 6: to blue.

733
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: We can put in a pot in the studio, watch

734
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: it flourish.

735
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: You two have been locked in that studio for three hours.

736
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 6: I reckon it smells just as bad.

737
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 5: The vibe in the line is very polite. Do you

738
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: think anyone's meeting friends or God.

739
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 6: Forbidman plant enthusiast took ups. I can see one girl

740
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 6: over there who's like about to kill her little brother.

741
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 6: I think they've been waiting in the line too long.

742
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 6: I haven't seen any romance blooming as yet, but I will.

743
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 6: I will look around and see if I can find

744
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 6: a true love story under the waft of the call.

745
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 5: When you were kids, did your parents have a drag

746
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 5: into anything like they.

747
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: We saw Hale's Haley's commet.

748
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. As a kid, we lined up outside kindy

749
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 5: for hours to wave with the queen when you went past.

750
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 3: Ah.

751
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well they are saying that this is reminiscent of

752
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 6: the Queen in Waiting whenever one lined up through London

753
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 6: to say their farewells. Because I guess the plant is dying.

754
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 6: It dies in twenty four hours, so it's a very

755
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 6: similar scene.

756
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure the royal family would love that comparison. The

757
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 2: Queen and the corpse flower.

758
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 5: We lined up for like two hours to get inside

759
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 5: Expo eighty eight.

00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 5: You walk around with the hat half.

00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 6: Up there you go. It's all the big things that

00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 5: And he goes, I get a story for you. So

798
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,360

799
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 5: work in the car dealership World Car City.

800
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 6: Keep your eyes open for a market.

801
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 5: So he had a number of number plates, like personalized

802
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 5: number plates he was trying to flog off.

803
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, people make a fortune off these things.

804
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 5: That's right, they do. So he just put a couple

805
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 5: up on his Facebook page. And only twelve months ago,

806
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 5: so only a year ago. A guy reached out and said, hey,

815
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,160

00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 6: plant air and bring it back into the studio. So

956
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 6: if you're lucky, I'll give you a booon when I

957
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 6: get back to Melbourne. Done.

958
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 5: No, I don't believe. So hey, Bet, can I ask

959
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 5: you a bit of a green thumb around the house?

960
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 5: Is horticulture for a culture, your sort of thing.

961
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 15: When I was putting the bins out yesterday, I saw

962
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 15: a weed and I went down to pull it out,

963
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 15: and it was a very big weed and I did

964
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 15: that successfully.

965
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: Just a weed or weed.

966
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 15: No, just one way right, one weed that was growing

967
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 15: like it was like a jack and the bean stalk moment,

968
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 15: and I had to get rid of it otherwise the

969
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 15: neighbors state, that's so I pulled it out.

970
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 6: Beck. We do love jumping on a bandwagon, don't we?

971
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 6: And I think this is the biggest example of Victorians

972
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 6: and Melbournians jumping on a bandwagon. When you see how

973
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 6: many people are here to see the stinky flower.

974
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 17: Yeah, I love it.

975
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 15: You know what? Such a thing I've thought about this

976
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 15: and why I'm actually so obsessed with flower. We have

977
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 15: to reportedly hear about grim, terrible things every day and

978
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 15: that's life.

979
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 14: And you know what, to have a little bit of.

980
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 15: Fun about a flower that flowers once every ten years,

981
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 15: that actually is not that pretty and smells disgusting. Is

982
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 15: it good break in the cycle that.

983
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 11: We live in?

984
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 5: You know what, I think you've hit the nail on

985
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 5: the head there, That's what it is. Because you're right,

986
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 5: the world's got such grim news and then obviously Trump,

987
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 5: you know, in this last week, and it's like, you know,

988
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 5: we're just looking for something fun. Hey, can I just

989
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 5: point out before we let you go back? I know

990
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 5: you and Clint rival yes, but it's nice to see

991
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,719

Speaker 2: They took my bins out every week. They had a passion.

1001
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,200

00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 5: stream and I was like, who is watching that? And

1111
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,719

1112
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 5: people doing posts saying I'm watching the plant. I'm watching

1113

Speaker 6: and there is a line of thousands of people last

1116
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 6: night at eight pm. Because I kept the greenhouse open

1117
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 6: for twenty four hours last night, people waited four hours

1118
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 6: to come in and get a whiff. And I heard

1119
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 6: it was at peaks thank last night. And it's pretty

1120
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 6: stinky this morning, but it is coming in waves of

1121
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,319

1123
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 3: do you feel about that title? Are you ready for

1124
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 3: the responsibility that comes with it?

1125
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 6: I'm not sure I like that title.

1126
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 5: Okay, honest, we're going to play so all right you are.

Speaker 6: You send me to all the big stories. Guys. This

1144

1145
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 6: about one thousand in the world. Actually, the corpse plant

1146
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 6: blooms once every seven to ten years. I'm outside the

1147
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 6: greenhouse in Geelong where there are thousands and thousands of

1148
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 6: people waiting to get in. Is it time to go inside?

1149
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 2: You have a sensitive nose.

00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 6: garbage bin. The whole joint stinks like a garbage bin.

1158
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 5: We're going to see you on the Geelong Botanical Garden's

1159

1165
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 6: let me tell you she looks much better than she smells.

1166
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 6: How close can I get? Okay, you're ready for a

1167
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:52,400

1171
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 6: It's it's pretty repulsive. Arounds like it smells like a

1172
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 6: bin full of dead possums, is what I would say.

1173
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 2: Can you give it a little just touch it a

1174
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: little bit?

1175
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 6: No, I can't touch it. You can't touch it. There's

1176
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 6: security every weekly. It's not it look it's it's not

1177
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 6: gag worthy at this time. But Kelly from the Botanic

1178
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 6: Gardens is here and i've is it. Does it pulsate

1179
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 6: and it gets worse.

1180
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely, it just let off one about five minutes ago.

1181
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 6: When you say let off, is it like it?

1182
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 10: It's like a really thick smell, really strong smell, and

1183
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 10: then it dissipates. So and she's on her way out,

1184
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 10: so she's coming down a little bit.

1185
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 6: Why is it is?

1186
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 14: She?

1187
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 6: I feel like if it smells like that, it should

1188
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 6: be a bloke. Yes, I'm happy for it to be

1189
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 6: the bigger.

1190
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 2: Did you smell that.

1191
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 6: Just let off studio with the toy? It's let one?

1192
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 2: Oh the flowers crop dusting.

1193
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 9: I love it.

1194
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 2: I love it.

1195
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 6: Would you describe it as letting it rip?

1196
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 5: Kelly?

1197
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 10: Well, sure, let's humanize it just a little bit and

1198
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 10: we can then give it.

1199
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 2: Can you hate description? Can you?

1200
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 3: You know when you taste when you smell something that smells,

1201
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 3: so you taste it? Can you taste it?

1202
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1203
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 6: You can taste it?

1204
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 9: Can't you tell? I don't want to answer that, Thank.

1205
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 5: You, Kelly. So we were chatting to you earlier. You

1206
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 5: were saying, because she she dilated and opened yesterday at

1207
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 5: about eleven thirty, we saw it in all her glory.

1208
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 5: What happens today? Does she start to close up, dry up?

1209
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, she's starting to close up.

1210
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 10: She's already put her frilly little ballerina dress starting to curl.

1211
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: Up on the left, So does the dress full of.

1212
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 9: No, it'll just collapse. The whole thing will collapse on.

1213
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 5: The whole, even the big rod coming out the middle.

1214
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, does she hit one final rip? Happen? And then

1215
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 6: it's flowers? Will?

1216
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:01,719

1223
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 10: even had a chance to really stand here and admire it.

1224
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 6: How can something so beautiful be equally so repulsive.

1225
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 9: It needs to do its thing.

1226
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 10: It needs to get its babies out like plants grow

1227
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 10: and put a flower up just to get babies.

1228

1278
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,440

1279

Speaker 5: Bring the kids. So the partners would then rock up

1351
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 5: with their children. So for the last forty minutes, the

1352
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 5: partners have been off entertaining the kids in other tents

1353

01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 14: So I'm planning Tuesdays my day at home with Henry

1420
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 14: and I'm playing to get down this afternoon.

1421
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: Hawks as a farmer, somebody who should know and appreciate

1422
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 3: what goes on in this space. I mean, what sort

1423
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 3: of impact is it having in Geelong?

1424
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 16: Well, it's huge.

1425
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 14: I mean I'm seeing I haven't been and had to

1426
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 14: look at it in the flesh, but even through the

1427
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 14: live strame you can see the number of people that

1428
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 14: are getting through and it is causing some conversations. Now

1429
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 14: I did, I went to as I said, I've been

1430
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 14: doing plarties. I've went with one former now former teammates,

1431
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 14: Max Holmes. Yep, he had no idea about it, but

1432
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 14: I think he may be the only one thing too

1433
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 14: long that doesn't know about the Courts Flower.

1434
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 6: So I'm in the greenhouse now and it actually smells

1435
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 6: a bit like a hot pilates class. To be perfectly honest,

1436
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 6: I reckon a few of you blokes in a hot

1437
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 6: pilarts class would be reminiscent of the waft that is

1438
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 6: in here.

1439
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 5: Tom. On at the races at Derby Day, your wife

1440
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 5: publicly after a few sharps ripped into you as a farmer.

1441
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 5: He tried to attempt the wago beef and you failed miserably.

1442
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 5: How do you reckon? You go grow on a few

1443
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 5: of these on the on the land.

1444
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 14: Well, I'm not sure. Ten years is a long time

1445
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 14: to wait, Jay, So I don't know if i'd be

1446
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 14: as patient as that to by By seeing the number

1447
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 14: of people that have ventured from all over Geelong the

1448
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 14: state and well we'll move sorry as Australia, come and

1449
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 14: have a look at the courts flower here in Geelong.

1450
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 14: It kind of makes sense to maybe think about it

1451
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 14: as a viable option.

1452
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can start at at your house.

1453
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 14: Tom's imagine that. Well, I definitely get you, guys.

1454
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 5: Tom was already. When you're watching the live stream and

1455
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 5: you're seeing people line up for hours and two o'clock

1456
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 5: in the morning, did it cross your mind? Are they okay?

1457
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 5: Good question?

1458
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 14: Yeah, great question. I think I'm not going to put

1459
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 14: it down to Geelong people as such, maybe more so

1460
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 14: as plant enthusiasts. But look, I get it when phenomenon

1461
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 14: has happened like this, whether it's something to do with

1462
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 14: a solar system or.

1463
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 2: To be giddy.

1464
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 14: And I think this is caused quite a stirs in

1465
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 14: and around Geelong.

1466
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 5: So guys, do we think what would have got a

1467
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 5: bigger lineup? The corpse flower or a book signing for Tom?

1468
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 2: Well, I was going to go.

1469
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 6: I was going to go with it.

1470
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 3: Maybe a statue. Maybe we could put a statue of

1471
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 3: Tom next to the corpse.

1472
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 5: I like that.

1473
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm telling you, first of all the Ablets

1474
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 6: put Geelong on the map, then it was the Hawkens,

1475
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 6: and now no one cares about any of those families.

1476
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 6: It is all about the corpse Flower. Not a single

1477
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 6: Geelong jersey down here. It's just all flower enthusiasts can see.

1478
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 5: She's always in your corner, Tom.

1479
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 14: Do you know what she is? Completely right? I got.

Speaker 14: I got called to him the other day at a

1481
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 14: at a potential we'll call a tough job interview type thing.

1482
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 14: The team that I went for and got called Tim.
