Speaker 1: leaving a gap there for you Alex and Uia to
Speaker 1: apologize the Pats parts has been parts has been boundy
Speaker 1: let down by you two scoundrels.
Speaker 2: Actually talk about the Titanic, these two, what happened to
Speaker 2: women and children? First in the lifeboats? Sarah Jy, our
Speaker 2: magnificent show manager, and I were left stranded at the
Speaker 2: Sydney Airport the other night by these two who decided
Speaker 2: to take an earlier flight.
Speaker 1: I could't believe when I was born in my flight
Speaker 1: that I was booked on the seven thirty one Sunday.
Speaker 1: These two chances, we're hanging around the gate go we
Speaker 1: mastually get on this and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: where's Pats? And then then there was a lot of awkwardness.
Speaker 1: So where is Pats?
Speaker 3: Where?
Speaker 1: Oh, she's been moved to a later flight at ten PM.
Speaker 1: So I just need to rewhind if you're wondering what's happened.
Speaker 1: And tensions are high right now, and we've got just
Speaker 1: over two weeks left on the year, and it's like
Speaker 1: a band that's been on a very long world tour
Speaker 1: where you know you're not there's tension and cracks already there.
Speaker 1: And what happened Wednesday Tuesday in Sydney was nasty and
Speaker 1: it's your issue to make good repats. So we weren't
Speaker 1: here Tuesday morning and throughout the day, we didn't do
Speaker 1: Tuesday show. We were in Sydney. We all left very
Speaker 1: early Tuesday morning and I want to fly and I
Speaker 1: didn't know planes flying a quarter to six in the morning.
Speaker 1: I thought that they started after quarter to six. And
Speaker 1: so we had a full day filming. We were filming
Speaker 1: a TV advert for the show for next year because
Speaker 1: we're going national from jen next year and so we're
Speaker 1: filming in Sydney and so we were there all day
Speaker 1: and the flight bag was at seven thirty nights, so
Speaker 1: I was when we got to Sydney Airport to come
Speaker 1: back home to Melbourne on Tuesday night, I was getting
Speaker 1: onto a seven thirty flight, and you'll, I don't know
Speaker 1: why they put you on a Jetstar one for eight
Speaker 1: o'clock thirty.
Speaker 3: Actually I do know.
Speaker 1: It's not my business. And how this company, how this
Speaker 1: company allocates resources and looks after what I call major stakeholders.
Speaker 1: But issue with.
Speaker 2: Me dogs in the plane. It's almost like, here's your
Speaker 2: here's your pin pats in.
Speaker 1: You go just shocking at that's what Alex and Rio did. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so how did you two even get on a different airline?
Speaker 3: We know people the optics aren't great that we went
Speaker 3: to the airport together and they.
Speaker 1: Tell me this, did Alex call lambo mate? That is
Speaker 1: now quanto mate? That was my next option.
Speaker 3: Our flight was delayed till ten o'clock, which is a
Speaker 3: very very big delay. Then I've never seen this version
Speaker 3: of Alex. Alex goes into this kind of TV mode
Speaker 3: where he turns on the schmoos and the charm. He
Speaker 3: calls the sort of company, trust people he got, He's
Speaker 3: got people, he knows people, and then he manages to
Speaker 3: get two seats on an earlier flight.
Speaker 1: Sophie's choice. Who did he give that? The two slots? Too? Well?
Speaker 1: One is obviously to himself. Of course, those masks on
Speaker 1: your own face on the plane.
Speaker 3: I say, hey, Patsy Sarah, if you want.
Speaker 1: Alex was there when he kind of protesting from Rio,
Speaker 1: it was there, was there was a crucial detail. Two
Speaker 1: had already checked their bags in. They couldn't get their
Speaker 1: bags off the plane in time to get the plant.
Speaker 1: The next one, miny detail.
Speaker 2: I say, miny details women and children first. Oh no,
Speaker 2: and Rio said, oh, Patson, Sarah, one of you, you know,
Speaker 2: but he didn't mean it because he's kind of looking
Speaker 2: at the floor.
Speaker 3: It was like, we'll stick around, please say do stick around?
Speaker 1: Please? No, no, we don't want to go.
Speaker 3: And as soon as we got to no, you guys go,
Speaker 3: we're like, okay.
Speaker 2: And we did not see them for dust do you
Speaker 2: should have seen them?
Speaker 1: This is horrible, having a really nice bonding experience. I
Speaker 1: can't believe we're going to get to do this next year.
Speaker 1: What a great end to an amazing year. We're lucky
Speaker 1: to have this experience. It's a really nice bonding experience.
Speaker 1: We're all in this TV advert together and then we
Speaker 1: just it all just fell apart from you guys.
Speaker 2: Broke up the bear.
Speaker 1: There's no, they are KOs Ye, there's.
Speaker 3: No point everybody going down with the ship. We need
Speaker 3: to put some people.
Speaker 2: Do you know what time I got home?
Speaker 1: I don't want to know. One twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2: That plane pulled up to that too, and well you
Speaker 2: were tucked in with your little armies and there.
Speaker 1: I was so exhausted I fell asleep on the couch.
Speaker 1: When I woke up, the count the dog was there.
Speaker 1: What happened? Had the game not the place exactly? Now
Speaker 1: there's a part two we need to talk about next
Speaker 1: because one of the team had to break into my
Speaker 1: house to check in on my dog, Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: So the other thing we need to talk about is Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's about four o'clock during the day filming an a
Speaker 1: random suburb in Sydney that apparently been chosen because it
Speaker 1: was very flat and yet it was the most hilly
Speaker 1: hilly's part of Sydney. We were way above sea level,
Speaker 1: we were high er.
Speaker 3: It's literally called the hills, Yes, Ulcombe Hills.
Speaker 1: It was awful slopey, yeah, Walcombe Hills. And they were like,
Speaker 1: we have to film somewhere where it's very flat. It
Speaker 1: had a slope that entire road a huge gradient and
Speaker 1: also by the way, so we were in Sydney when
Speaker 1: we were filming on Tuesday, it was like thirty three
Speaker 1: degrees and we were filming all day on the.
Speaker 2: Road community it was about three hundred and that is that.
Speaker 1: Huge camera light on me and I just had to
Speaker 1: work in a way I'm not used to. The talking
Speaker 1: and walking is surprisingly tricky. You know, we see people
Speaker 1: do it effortlessly on TV, like Jeremy Claranson does it
Speaker 1: incredibly well. But they were like, can you take four
Speaker 1: steps side, look to the camera, say if you're not
Speaker 1: looking for a radio show, walk two more steps, look
Speaker 1: at the funk camera, and then deliver the next two lines.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I didn't know what the first
Speaker 1: was and I was just thinking, just try best. And
Speaker 1: then they would go, can we just do that again
Speaker 1: this time take two and a half steps, and stuff
Speaker 1: like what human can be programmed like this? We can
Speaker 1: barely do it sat moving and talking. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so tricky. But anyway, I get a message from
Speaker 1: my wife. Now, my wife and daughters are in Dubai
Speaker 1: this week seeing my wife's sister who lives there, and
Speaker 1: about four o'clock. Our time my wife is obviously waking
Speaker 1: up is eight am in Dubai and says you back home?
Speaker 1: And no, no, I told you I'm not until seven thirty flight.
Speaker 1: And suddenly then and they're about to go and we're
Speaker 1: rolling speeding Take nineteen and I see this, woo. I
Speaker 1: don't know the dog, nothing about how are you coping
Speaker 1: in this heat? What's it like working or set where
Speaker 1: there's over fifty crew all staring at you and nothing
Speaker 1: about me? She says, Oh the god the dog Reggie
Speaker 1: would have been alone by it all day. And I said, listen, Tina,
Speaker 1: Liz to produce a Tina there's about ten minutes away
Speaker 1: in Bentley, ask if she'd be kind enough to come around,
Speaker 1: pop in and see the dog. Then I'm like, I
Speaker 1: can't deal with this, Tina, you poor thing. You need
Speaker 1: to pick up the story, Paul, did you know this, Pats,
Speaker 1: Tina went around to my house, broke in, broke in
Speaker 1: to see the cat regg and meet Larry the cat.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, I did get a fraggick text from Sarah
Speaker 4: with your codes to come into your house and one.
Speaker 1: Of four point three. Don't tell anyone.
Speaker 4: I have the codes but yes, I got a fraggic
Speaker 4: text to just go hang out with a dog for
Speaker 4: twenty minutes. And then I said, you want me to
Speaker 4: feed him? She's like yes, So I had to feed him,
Speaker 4: hung out, broke into your house and spent time with
Speaker 4: your dog and your cat.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for doing that. By the way,
Speaker 1: my wife made it really odd, said to Tina, feel
Speaker 1: free to put the TV and make yourself at home
Speaker 1: and just hang around for a couple of hours until
Speaker 1: Christian gets back. Without telling me. Do you imagine if
Speaker 1: like I just keept like, oh my god, it's gonna
Speaker 1: a beer and go to sleep. I'm like, woman, she's
Speaker 1: the first time, Tina. Yeah, just watching math. So make
Speaker 1: yourself at home, you know, because Tina is a very
Speaker 1: proud Greek lady. I was hoping that there'd be some
Speaker 1: sort of on the stove bubbling is it in a
Speaker 1: slow cooker? And spent a cop and oh my god,
Speaker 1: I thought there'd been a life mousaka freshly baked in
Speaker 1: the oven. Nothing, Tina, you left me nothing to be silly.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even cook for myself.
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. Is it strange that you just
Speaker 1: had to break in and just snoop around my house.
Speaker 4: It was changed. All the doors were clothed, and I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, do I pete? But I didn't.
Speaker 3: No one tells you this in the job interview, that
Speaker 3: you might actually have to go.
Speaker 1: To break into his house and just pat his cat
Speaker 1: and dog for ten minutes and then leave or hang
Speaker 1: out hang out to you yesterday? Did you tell Tina
Speaker 1: so hang around? As I got back, I thought might
Speaker 1: be nice you did to catch up. I was just cooked. Tina,
Speaker 1: why don't we get a takeaway kick back and hang
Speaker 1: out on the couch. She's got your pj's neighbors have
Speaker 1: then seen someone leave at half eleven at nights, some
Speaker 1: random Greek lady. Thank you, Tina. The Christian O'Connell Show
