0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne.

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to them. Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Tak back to the days of holidays. I know, hopefully soon,

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 3>hopefully soon. What is the dunnest thing you've ever done

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 3>on holiday? You would have been drags somewhere, so you're

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 3>always in one or two camps.

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>You're rather the dragger or the dragon or the drag

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 2>e lagging him behind. Know what about two meters?

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Try not to look at your watch, but want them

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 3>to search see that you're looking at that.

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>How long would you actually plan on being here?

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 3>You go somewhere, the minimuster coach trip, other strangers on

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 3>the holiday, you got dropped off, the hotel, all that.

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Kinds of the money you paid.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, you're wasting a day when you could just

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 3>be sat by the pool doing nothing, having cocktails. You're

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 3>going to do something and then it's a terrible, terrible

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.160
<v Speaker 3>anti climax.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I remember when on the way to.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Take the kids to the first time the year before

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 3>we moved here, and when I came out for a

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 3>secret spying mission. Actually I actually managed to get into

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 3>this building because I want to have a look around

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 3>before decided where we actually could do it. So we

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>went to a couple of places of Australia and then

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 3>came here to Melbourne and took the kids here for

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>the first time before deciding if we were really going

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 3>to emigrate.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And I remember on the way, I said, way, we've

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:01.959
<v Speaker 2>got to stop over.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 3>Can we stop over in Hong Kong so I can

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 3>see the Bruce Lee statue?

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, So I'm dragging.

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm making a detour via Hong Kong purely so I

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>can see a Bruce Lee statue.

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>So we have to get We get Hopeles. He lost right.

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 3>It's actually very confusing to get around Hong Kong, and

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 3>we're all wide eyed, very tired, and we end up

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>getting one uber. He drops us the wrong place, getting

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 3>another one. It's a bit nearer, but the other side

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 3>of the big freeway with three different ubers. We get

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>there and the first thing I hear is Chris, I

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 3>think it's boarded up, and I'm like, you know.

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>You almost start to cry. It is boarded up.

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 3>They do it every ten years to clean Bruce What

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 3>we flew here on.

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 4>The way to austral see the Bruce Lee statue's mind scaffolding.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't got a photo of me looking just so depressed,

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>so debrace. My whole world around me shattered.

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I never got still not seeing the Bruce Lee stay.

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>But imagine how clean he is now?

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Smartness, I mind if ever went again, I need to know.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 3>I bet it's the tenth University of cleaning, all right.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 3>So this morning no. Four one for one oh four three,

<v Speaker 6>Hello Christian, how are you?

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to welcome to the show, Kenny, Thanks for

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 3>giving us a call. What is the dumbest thing you've

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 3>done on holiday?

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 6>The dumbest thing I've done on holidays? He said, I

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 6>have to go to all the land drover factories in

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 6>England and any other car factory. My husband can get

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 6>us into.

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, about any car.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they're not that interesting really to go and

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 3>see how they're made by robot.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 6>How they're made by robots, Birmingham Hazelwood.

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Or the.

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 5>Once you see one factory, haven't you seen them all?

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 6>Right? Right? And you know because as we were told

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 6>in the factories, they have to test them to make

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 6>sure they leak so when it rains you get wet.

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 6>And one of the worst things that happened is are

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 6>so disinterested. I fell flat on my face in front

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 6>of all the work is I fell over a safety barth.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 3>I still would have been at least that's mildly interesting

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 3>thing that happened for you.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I got a feeling with a dry for how about

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>you ken it? You threw yourself to the ground.

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 6>Then after that, my husband drives me to the land

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 6>River Experience, where in England there's got like a fake

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 6>land drover jungle and we have to drive through water

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 6>in the car.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>This is just.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 6>You know, I saw a fox and I said to

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 6>the instructor, you want me to floor it and go

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 6>for it? Oh no, we're going to kill the foxes

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 6>here in England.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>They are now protected, put in prison.

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 6>You gave her apparently Apparently so I wasn't very popular

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 6>and that true.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 3>The thing about car factories is, you know, you think

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>about the UK and all the beautiful places you know,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 3>and see car factories in industry at the States.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>They're just I was. So there's places, aren't they.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 6>That's your holiday, that's my holiday, and it's just going

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 6>through you. It has been to Mercedis Bend, folks Wagon

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 6>and all these other places. I can't even tell you.

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Why does he want to drag you around these factories

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 4>building cars of Europe?

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Why?

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. And I'll get home tonight and I

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 6>will tell him this and he will kiss me about

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.279
<v Speaker 6>land Rovers and did I tell Christians this and this?

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 3>And I'll be like, no, I'm a massive fan of

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I've seen every episode over the years of Top Gin.

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Not even they have ever been to a single factory, right,

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember that episode where they just walked through

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 3>the production line.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.560

<v Speaker 2>She call the Christian O'Connell show podcast this morning.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about the dullest thing you ever done on holiday.

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I just remembered the thing as well. My wife has

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>dragged me to so many things on holidays. One of

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.599
<v Speaker 3>the ones we did it wasn't here on Victoria, but

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 3>there is a bat sanctuary. She took me to a

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 3>bat sanctuary.

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 2>And bats can be interesting though, Yeah, all right, yeah

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for a minute, an hour and a half.

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Of course, once you're there and they're doing you know,

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>important work and serving them a rescuing them. You felt

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 3>like you can't go after five minutes, right, because they're

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 3>like volunteers. You're not what volunteers like they you know,

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 3>they're very intense people.

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 2>This is their life. And you don't think about bats stink, Yeah,

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they do it, Oh my god.

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>And you imagine like there were over two hundred bats

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 3>there right, the stink of the pee and muck, and

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.600
<v Speaker 3>they're all hanging upside down and stuff like that. Once

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>you turned a couple of those snaps, you're like.

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.279
