1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Christian Christian O'Connell show.

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: My two words to sum up the break would be

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: kangaroo smash. I just to point out here, kangaroo was fine,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: all right, kangaroo was fine. I feel like though, now, proper.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: Australians, you didn't hit one of the car, did you. Yeah?

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: Epic road trip. I mean for us pommies, you know,

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: driving more than two hours is a big deal. It's

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: like we need passports and nutrition and distress flares. So

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: going on a nine hour trip nine hours in one

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: hall as well, which is what we did good Friday.

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: Then when we were saying goodbye on the Thursday before

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: the Easter weekend, I was saying how my plan was

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: to get the kids in the car at five am

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: to drive to Adelaide.

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: We did it.

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 2: They are actually in.

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: That car we left.

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: I think it was like five fifteen.

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: So do you carry them from their beds into the

20
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: car seat? No?

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: Years ago would have been a lot easier. By this time,

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: they were really really unhappy about The whole thing was

23
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 2: you can just go back to sleep. By the time

24
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: you wake up, we're already done three or four hours.

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: What a way to start a holiday, and everybody hating

26
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: each other, everyone each other.

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: You know, you're all sort of dehydrated in like crusty

28
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: eyed and stuff like that. Anyway, and then by the

29
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: time they did stir, it was like eight o'clock. They

30
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: slept like a couple of hours straight away, and then

31
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: we were at a macas. But anyway, as we were

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: getting closer to Adelaide, and have you guys ever done

33
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: that drive? No, yes, it's all, isn't it. It's just

34
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: the last part. It's just a long straight road.

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: It's just a long, long road that this goes on

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: never ending.

37
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: And you're like, you're looking at your progress spa. You know,

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: you're not long fly, we're not tapping tapping your phone,

39
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: going come on find me, and there's nothing around, there's

40
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: nothing there. And you think if we broke down, now,

41
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: what will we do? And so we were doing it

42
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: in shifts and my wife was doing the bit where

43
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: a kangaroo start to hop out and it was coming

44
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: right in front of us, and so the kids were

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: going swerve was going no, no, no, we have to just

46
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: stay straight. We have to hit it. My wife goes,

47
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't, and I went and almost grabbed

48
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: the wheels that you have to hit the kangaroo, and

49
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: we want.

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: A token conversation. Can you stopped during all in favor

51
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: for hitting the kangaroo?

52
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Say I someone called up a Google video. Now what

53
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: is the best way to give first day to distress kangaroo?

54
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: We hit the kangaroo right. It's a terrible, terrible noise

55
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: and awful feeling. My wife's stand on the brakes was hysterical.

56
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: I got out and she said.

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: Chris grass Is, obviously you're gonna have to kill it.

58
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: As I'm going to trying to find this thing, I'm thinking,

59
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: how am I going to keepare handed kill a kangaroo?

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,200

00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: phones were in evidence of this, but me killing it.

65
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: And also like other people are starting to drive around us.

66
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: Now it's people. It's not a good look for me.

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: We seem to strengthening a how do you kill one?

68
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: I can't you know, go and put it in a

69
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: chokehold like the UFC going, don't make it worse than itself.

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: My friend Skippy just go to sleep. You're going to

71
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: meet all the other kangaroos. So I'm going to look

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: for this poor kangaroo and he comes flying out some

73
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: thicket right and bounces in front of me. I'm like,

74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: thank God for that. I've got to try and fight again.

75
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: And it was like Cordter nine in the morning. It's like,

76
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: rich too early to be strangling a kangaroo to the

77
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: sweet release of death. Luckily, the kangaroo bounced off right,

78
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: and I thought, but I did just check the front of

79
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: the car.

80
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: It was just like stoved in. Yeah, they're big thing.

81
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: Shoot the number Blake was there's like some bits of

82
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: it just fell off as soon as I touched it

83
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. One of the sort of other

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: bits of that. So it will be out to Sheen

85
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680

86
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: time she's been there in six months. We need some

87
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: kind of loyalty card. But honestly, I've heard so many

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: people who I've told us to have told about kangaroos.

89
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: It can be really bad, Like they can smash the

90
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: windscreen and come into the car.

91
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: Is that an other mith, No, No, that happens. My

92
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: uncle had a get out of the car wiping down

93
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: the windows.

94
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: Isn't like a wasp.

95
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: Take an end really badly. My uncle hit a roue

96
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: once and it went through the windscreen and just that.

97
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how he got out of it, but

98
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: the car was like sandwich. You were very, very lucky.

99
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: Your uncle had to get out, and then the kangaroo

100
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: took off with the car.
