61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 3: We have talked about whether or not this is fact

62
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: talk fiction about Alama in North Melbourne called Barack Olama.

63
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: And I found the original email from twenty nineteen first

64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: year of the show, twenty fourth of July twenty nineteen

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: from a guy called Brian maguire Christian, I need to

66
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: sell you to set on an argument. A few years ago,

67
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: my best mate Poul emigrated to Melbourne from Scotland.

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: He's now living in Geelong.

69
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: He's back in Scotland for a few week visiting family

70
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: and we found ourselves having a few beers. Asked him

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: about what life up and was like and he was

72
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: saying what a diverse and dire, dynamic city is and

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: he also said that Australians are mad and that he

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: claims that whilst walking once in an area called Fitzroy

75
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: after work, he was asked to hold the lead to

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: someone's pet lama whilst the owner went to get a

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: coffee in a coffee shop. This was clearly met with

78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: cynicism from US Scots. We don't know what a vegetable

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: looks like, levermind someone who takes a lama for a walk.

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: He swears it's true, not just that that when he

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: was chatting with the only when it came back with

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: the coffee, that the lama.

83
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: Was called Barack o Lama? Christian?

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: Are there locals walking around Melbourne with lama's on leeds,

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: parents and shoulders and snakes.

86
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: Around the next? Is that what accounts for a hipster

87
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: in North Melbourne?

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: I can't remember what we found out about the legend.

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: I think is it still hanging out?

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: There's a question I need to know.

91
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: Yes, all these years later, in twenty twenty five, we

92
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: still haven't got any closer to the truth about Barack

93
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: oh Lama. If anyone's got anything to say about that,

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: please email me today, Christian at Christian O'Connor dot com The.

95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: At the end of the show yesterday, the time Waster

97
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: was pet celebrities and one of you did barack Olama. Suddenly,

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: I remembered in the early days of the show, back

99
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: in the first year of the show in twenty nineteen,

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 3: I got an email from one of you about Alama,

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: the story about this lama in Fitzroy.

102
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 4: Guy called Brian emailed me saying.

103
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: That a friend of his, Paul, claims that once he

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: was walking in Fitzroy after work one day and was

105
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: asked to hold the lead of someone's pet lama. Was

106
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: the owner ran in to pick up a coffee and

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: he said that the lama had a tag around its

108
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: neck and its full name was Barack O Lama. So

109
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: we were hoping to find out more about this, because

110
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: if you've seen that or you know that in Livereil,

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 3: North Melbourne, you'd know what we're talking about.

112
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: But that's where it went completely cold.

113
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: Yesterday after the show, I put two of radio's finest

114
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,000

Speaker 3: producers Kaitlin and Ria. Perhaps you could pick up the here, Kaitlin,

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: So what did you do yesterday?

00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 6: Alrighty, So we were lucky enough to get an email

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 6: from a woman called Kathy Lee who had a tip off.

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 6: She said, there's a larma called Barack Obama at the

00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: up the case once and for all about the urban

321
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: legend sure force of Barack Lama, the lama that apparently

322
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: people have seen around Fitzroy. Yesterday when they're reported on

323
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: their first twenty four hours investigating this, they're essentially got nowhere.

324
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: So hopefully today more information is coming. Already are you

325
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: feeling nerves in the studio because Rio said, do not

326
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: come to me. In other words, this is someone who's

327
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: smartly about to throw producer then under the wheels of

328
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: the bus and then he those do not expect conclusions.

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: Just Katan, please pick up the trail here what have

330
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: you found?

331
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 6: Look, it actually is a huge breakthrough. We've got an

332
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: answer and it's from the Big Goose farm down in Mornington. Brett,

333
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 6: the general manager, has left us a voicemail.

334
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: Oka listen a Christian.

335
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 8: It is bred here from the Big Goose on the

336
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 8: Mornington Peninsula. Here you're looking for a baraq O Lama.

337
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 8: We do in fact have a Barack Olama with a

338
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 8: Michelle Olama and their children. Unfortunately, though, I don't think

339
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 8: that it is the Fitzroy Barack Olama that you have

340
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 8: been searching for. Barack has been with us for about

341
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 8: seven years and he has spent the entire time in

342
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 8: Muradak down with us. Wish you guys the best of

343
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 8: luck hunting for your Barack Olama. I'm sure they probably

344
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 8: stole the name for us. I reckon, we've got the

345
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 8: original barck Olama dead end.

346
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, so but oh you're chipping in now, there is

347
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 7: there is we have like a little flickering ember of hope.

348
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 7: I then said, okay, maybe that's the Mornington barack Olama.

349
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 7: We need the Fitzroy a man walking a lama in Fitzroy.

350
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: Remembering what we discussed, falm is not worth doing and

351
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: the hours you put into this.

352
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 7: So I'm narrowing it down to Fitzroy. There needs to

353
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 7: be somewhere you can keep a lama in Fitzroy. So

354
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 7: I go to the Lama Owner's Handbook, which is.

355
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 5: A real thing.

356
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: You're kidding.

357
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 7: No, there is Alama's an official Lama's Owner's handbook, and

358
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 7: it says you need at least an acre per lama.

359
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 4: Good cost you well?

360
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: So then I zoom out.

361
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 7: I get an aerial map of Fitzroy. What can I find?

362
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 7: There's no spare acres in the.

363
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: Money just housing your pet lama.

364
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 7: The only place I could find Collingwood Children's Farm just

365
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 7: next to it.

366
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: I give them a call.

367
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 7: Have you had a lama called Baraka Lama or just

368
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 7: any Lamas that maybe someone might have taken for a

369
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 7: walk from the farm. No, Lamas, not even in twenty nineteen,

370
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 7: she said, But we do have sheep.

371
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: No, it's not a true you know.

372
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 3: Then as this guy, I don't forget where this story

373
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: came from, says that this guy asked him to hold

374
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: his pet lama in Fitzroy while he went to get

375
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: a coffee. And he looked at the name tag on

376
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: the lama and it said Barack Olama.

377
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Yes, no way that that's a sheep. And he's mistaken.

378
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 5: No, it's got to be alone.

379
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: Sure to squat animals.

380
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 7: Then I'm sent a video by someone from the Facebook

381
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 7: group that I posted in yesterday of a man walking a.

382
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 5: Lama down a street.

383
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 4: I pause.

384
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 5: I see a phone number in the shop like in

385
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 5: the what's it called? Like in the background the background?

386
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 5: I call that number?

387
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 4: Wow, done, this is good work.

388
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 7: It is a tile store in Tasmania. Unfortunately, so it's

389
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 7: not that lama. I feel like I'm chasing a god.

390
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: Could he have got on the spirit?

391
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: Did you call the tileplace in Tasmania to ask them

392
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: have they ever seen a pet lama walked around there?

393
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: No?

394
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: I just said, where are you, and they said we're

395
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: in Tasmania.

396
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: I said, it's not much to text said Tasmania.

397
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 5: So there it says. So I feel like I'm chasing ghosts?

398
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: Does this actual thing exist?

399
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 7: I email Brian, who's the original email started all this.

400
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 7: He was told by his friend, is this just a rumor?

401
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 7: Is this just some bs that they've made up?

402
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Is his friend a liar?

403
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 5: Exactly? His friend now lives in Geelong.

404
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 7: He has asked his wife if I can have his

405
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 7: number so I can check the source.

406
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 4: So the original spots are of this.

407
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 5: That's just where we're at at the moment on more day.

408
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: So I need an extension.

409
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: Okay, I tell you what you also need. Right, You

410
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: are someone who is very competitive. You like to win.

411
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 5: I do and I always do.

412
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 4: And I know that the weekend it hurt. You were

413
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: beaten by a small child. I think it is.

414
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 3: It is because when someone's been beaten some they go

415
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: on a streak of losers because they don't mentally they've

416
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: been beaten as much as physically.

417
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 5: Yes, I was beaten by a sixteen year old on

418
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 5: Sunday at tournament.

419
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: He was And you're a grown ass, big strong man,

420
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: small wheat child.

421
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 7: I think there was some sort of prodigy. Yeah, in

422
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 7: Australia for the next couple of.

423
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: Dodgy tournament was this where a child plays a grown

424
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: ass man is a real tournament. So this is hurting you, yes,

425
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: of course. Okay, So do you want to win? You

426
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: want to solve this one?

427
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 6: Win?

428
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 4: Okay, you need a win. Now.

429
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: Tomorrow we're going out for a really nice lunch. We're

430
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: going to Lamarro's Paths. We've booked it.

431
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 4: This is a place.

432
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: Where on Sunday night, this is where the AFL had

433
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: hired to have the AFL and the Captain's lunch.

434
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 4: It's a gas stro pub.

435
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: But in showburs there's a phrase there's no such thing

436
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: as a free lunch. And so you know this is

437
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: a place where the captains were, you know, not the

438
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: sort of underlings and people like you real on. So

439
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: pat yes, one hundred percent, you're a captain okay.

440
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, okay, so you can be there as well.

441
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: Question cRIO.

442
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 3: At the moment, there's a question mark whether you are

443
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: at that captain's table, because at the there's a smell

444
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: of a loss about you.

445
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 4: Beaten by a ten year old small.

446
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: Child at a tennis stalment and now you kind of

447
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: track down a Lama Rio from twenty twenty four would

448
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: have nailed us within an hour. I think you're a

449
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: little bit a bit fumbly and mumbly. Okay, So at

450
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: the moment to anyone proposing what are you proposing, I

451
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: think it's fair to say there's no lunch unless you

452
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: sold this case for anyone.

453
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, we'll be there. We will be there. Okay,

454
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 4: we'll look.

455
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: At the States. They've got a nice porterhouse up for grabs.

456
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 3: I've got my eyes that looks beautiful.

457
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 4: So you'd want to have a winner's lunch.

458
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 3: And I want to cut your steak up for you

459
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: as you tell with the details of Barack Obama once

460
00:21:59,359 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: and for.

461
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 7: All, I get to the bottom of this case. Will

462
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 7: you cut my steak first?

463
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: Feed it to you?

464
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: Do we have a deal?

465
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

466
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 4: Is It fact Or Is It myth?

467
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: In twenty nineteen, this show got a story, a rumored

468
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: story about a Lama scene being walked by its owner

469
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 3: in Fitzroy that had around his collar a name Tank

470
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 3: that you count a dog might have that said Barack

471
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: O Lama. Many times we tried to find out is

472
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: this actually true or is it some kind of urban legend.

473
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: The story came back around many years later on Monday

474
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: Show and I put Rio, one of our sharpest minds

475
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: on the team, onto the case. I'll be honest, we

476
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: got nowhere. Sorry, he got nowhere real quick. Shabby emails

477
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: were fired off, chat rooms were logged into try and

478
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: find out information.

479
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: He controlled online.

480
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: Essentially he did.

481
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 3: And I don't think the fact that at the weekend, Rio,

482
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: who is a man, got beaten by a sixteen year

483
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: old child in a tennis tournament, and I think mentally

484
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: it made you weak. I think it's shattered that swagger,

485
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 3: that confidence you have.

486
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: Very happy to you've beaten by a tennis prodigy and.

487
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 4: Playing in a tournament in Bentley.

488
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you're going to find the next future

489
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: style Grand Slam winner.

490
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 7: That he is where heroes are born Christian speaking of heroes.

491
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: Now, which is also said, there's an incentive for Rio

492
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 3: because Rio is a competitive man by nature, and the

493
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: team is very excited. We're going out for lunch today

494
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: to a place called Lamarro's. Lamarro's is the place where

495
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: all the AFL captains all eighteen captains went on Sunday

496
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 3: night for big pow wow and a bite to eat.

497
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: We're all going there.

498
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: Rio has to earn his lunch. Give us the truth.

499
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: I'll give you your steak and I will personally cut

500
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: it up however you.

501
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 5: Like, and I believe not just cut it up, but

502
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: you'll also feed it.

503
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 4: Correct.

504
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: I forgot about that, Okay, bye, and the Fagazi of

505
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 3: the show, I forgot about that, but yes, I will

506
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: do that if you give me the truth.

507
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: Finally, about Barack O Lama, what have you found out?

508
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 5: All right?

509
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 7: The latest update before today was that I really I

510
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 7: felt like I was chasing a ghost. It felt like

511
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 7: it was a complete myth that Barack Alama.

512
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 5: Did not exist. Everywhere we looked, there was nothing to find.

513
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 7: We then get a hot tip from Rick, a listener

514
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 7: who says, go on the Reddit thread because apparently there

515
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 7: is a white Lama that has been spotted in Melbourne,

516
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 7: which is as close as we've gotten.

517
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 8: You.

518
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 5: I have since made a wanted poster because I was getting.

519
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: Nowhere to turn this around before midday today.

520
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: This is the efforts of a desperate man. Is it

521
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 3: saying is it saying wanted? Lunch once because tos wanted.

522
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: Have you seen this local lama. We would love to

523
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 3: meet him. Please text any info.

524
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 7: I then, in the thirty six degree heat yesterday pounded

525
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 7: the pavement in.

526
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: It's actually put the wanted posse yesterday.

527
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 7: I have put about ten to twelve wanted posters up

528
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 7: around Fitzroy. This is great work begging for information because

529
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 7: you've got to go to the source you.

530
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 5: I was trying online. That wasn't the way.

531
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 7: I'm on the streets of Fitzroy, Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street,

532
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 7: amongst the hipsters. Please help me find this lama. We

533
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 7: then get a text. I can now start.

534
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 5: To triangulate Barack Olama's location.

535
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 7: Edwina b Hi, I saw a guy walking a lama

536
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 7: called Meatball.

537
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: Not so this is a text response to the wanted poster.

538
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: He's already working.

539
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 7: It's already working in stint Kilda near Lunar Park a

540
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 7: few years ago.

541
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 4: Yesterday we had a science in St Kilda as well.

542
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: Yes, this one near Luna Park.

543
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 7: Maybe she said that it was near Fitzroy Street in

544
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: Saint Kilda, which is maybe stream.

545
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: Maybe that got lost in communication. Saw it in fitz.

546
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 5: Yes, we also got a hot tip.

547
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 7: R M I T University at white Lama has been

548
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 7: seen and at Preston Markets, so we know that there

549
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 7: is a white Lama.

550
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 4: Good if the steak knife is being warmed up.

551
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 7: As north as Preston, as south as Saint Kilda, as

552
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 7: central as r M I T University, within those boundaries,

553
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 7: there is a white Lama. I cannot confirm if it

554
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 7: is Barack Olama. But how many white Lamas can there

555
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 7: be in Melbourne?

556
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: It's good to be the one if I am drawing,

Speaker 4: Is increasedlock home.

562
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: You've done it and you have to cut up your steaks,

563
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: cutting it out.

564
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,159
