Speaker 1: Jason L one hundred one. Clint s downaway joining us
Speaker 1: all the way from Paddy. He is over there for
Speaker 1: the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Quite the journey to get there, going Melbourne to Perth
Speaker 2: and then that brand new long haul flight Perth to
Speaker 2: Paris for seventeen hours. It's a long time.
Speaker 1: You know what you would have missed the big news
Speaker 1: here in Melbourne yesterday, Clint, Well, what's happened? You can
Speaker 1: now get drone deliveries for Uber eats for do not
Speaker 1: door dash you cannot door dash?
Speaker 2: Yeah you started yesterday? Have we have we trialed it?
Speaker 1: It's sort of area and yeah, you got to get
Speaker 1: it from is it Eastlands? From the food court there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Eastland?
Speaker 1: Jase calls them.
Speaker 2: Well, here in Paris, the French capital. Now, before I
Speaker 2: tell you what went wrong today, I'll paint a picture
Speaker 2: about how tight security is here. So today what the
Speaker 2: have done the police and the army have enforced what
Speaker 2: they're calling the Paris Ring of Steel. Effectively, they're trying
Speaker 2: to well exactly it is for Melbourning's especially, isn't it.
Speaker 2: But they're trying to sort of lock down that central
Speaker 2: business district because what you might be aware is that
Speaker 2: the opening ceremony isn't in a stadium. It's actually along
Speaker 2: the river sen Taking. Yeah, there's like sort of a
Speaker 2: mix of pontoons of boats, you know, all that sort
Speaker 2: of thing, but it's along the sand. It's going to
Speaker 2: be fireworks. It's going to be quite magical, I'm told.
Speaker 2: So in order to do that, they've got to sort
Speaker 2: of produce this ring of steel. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: those wide fences going up and like no exaggeration, on
Speaker 2: almost every corner is either a police car or a
Speaker 2: group of police officers. Right. It does. It makes you
Speaker 2: feel safe and not a lot can go wrong. Right now,
Speaker 2: day one of being in Paris, I'm trying to sort
Speaker 2: of investigate the Metro and how that works. Now there
Speaker 2: are two different lines here. There's the Metro and then
Speaker 2: there's sort of like the what I would like to
Speaker 2: call the above ground type trains, you know, the older
Speaker 2: fixed rail trains, and so they're like they're lettered. But
Speaker 2: the Metro is numbered right, So instantly I'm confused. Anyway
Speaker 2: I need to get from let's say it's the Metro
Speaker 2: is numbered one to fourteen, I've got to get from
Speaker 2: eight and change to get on the three right, it's
Speaker 2: a bit of both. Yeah, well I know, but you
Speaker 2: can't get around there anyway. So I'm transferring from line
Speaker 2: eight to line three and I'm walking through the station,
Speaker 2: following the signs like a good boy. And I get
Speaker 2: into where line three is. I'm like, this is beautiful,
Speaker 2: this station. It is sparkling because of course they've built
Speaker 2: new stadiums, They've built new water, feed have improved the
Speaker 2: bridges roads. Anyways, I'm walking up this. This is sparkling,
Speaker 2: and where's the public. Why? Why on earth this station?
Speaker 2: It's like I've cut the ribbon and I'm making myself welcome. Right,
Speaker 2: get to the platform where I thought my train was
Speaker 2: going from. Not a bludget there, right, not one person there.
Speaker 2: Something's not quite right. And then I hear this, monsieur.
Speaker 1: I.
Speaker 2: Have breached I have breached security inadvertently. That is out
Speaker 2: of bounds. I am in a no go zone.
Speaker 1: What are they shooting.
Speaker 2: Something? Well, I don't know what they thought. I don't
Speaker 2: know what they thought I was I was doing. They
Speaker 2: quickly saw when they saw my Colonial Brewing coat T
Speaker 2: shirt and my and stocks, that I was from out
Speaker 2: of town and that i'd taken a wrong turn and
Speaker 2: quickly it was a brand new station that that was
Speaker 2: meant to open next week in conjunction with the Olympics
Speaker 2: and the opening semi. I've been the first stuck in.
Speaker 2: I was the first. You've opened the station. Play the
Speaker 2: French music, Jay, not happy. We have French music to
Speaker 2: universal music. Play this music for any country.
Speaker 1: The new stage.

Speaker 2: cops are running at you, scream my friend Lauren, Lauren
