Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 1: been on a plane and you're in that aisle thirteen
Speaker 1: emergency row. Oh yes, I try to get the exit
Speaker 1: row for extra Yeah, I thought you might do. Anyway,
Speaker 1: My wife and I happened to be in that row
Speaker 1: and we're flying up to the Gold Coast last week. Now,
Speaker 1: I'll give you the briefing. Right, they sit there and
Speaker 1: they say, just so you're aware, this is emergency row,
Speaker 1: extra responsibility. Right. I always make sure I'm listening and
Speaker 1: taking it in. I even put my hand out just
Speaker 1: I don't pull that flat, but just to practice. What
Speaker 1: the so I'm ready to go. No one else doing this,
Speaker 1: just to give it a warm up. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: know who and you yank down and push that through
Speaker 1: and check for fire on the wing. And then I
Speaker 1: go in my mind though I've got responsibility, and so
Speaker 1: is everyone else. Now we are working. In my mind,
Speaker 1: we're working with the crew. It goes pil it me
Speaker 1: and then underneath me, working underneath me, other stewards, the
Speaker 1: lady next to me knocking back drinks. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can be drinking and then suddenly if it really
Speaker 1: you've got to get out that and you've had a
Speaker 1: couple of Europe. Then she started to doze off and
Speaker 1: started that thing. She was nodding on my shoulder. And
Speaker 1: you're not taking your responsibility seriously. We can't follow you
Speaker 1: in an emergency. Now. The other thing, when we were
Speaker 1: queuing up to get on the plane right at Melbourne Airport,
Speaker 1: my wife goes Chris, but behind us is Ethan Hawk.
Speaker 1: I went right, listen. Ethan Hawk is an on jip star.
Speaker 1: Even though this is Economy X. He's obviously done very
Speaker 1: well in Hollywood where he can step up like us. Lowie, Wow,
Speaker 1: it's like business class but for poor people. I said,
Speaker 1: I don't need to look around, because Ethan Hawk is
Speaker 1: not going away on school holidays to what has gone
Speaker 1: wrong in his life where all of Elor's choices have
Speaker 1: put him on this flight. Behind us. He could be
Speaker 1: going to Movie World. You could be filming something at
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. Anyway. You know when Selvin says, don't look
Speaker 1: a round you automatically, I don't know. It's not Ethan Hawk.
Speaker 1: It's a knacked old man who happens to have got.
Speaker 1: That's it. It's not Ethan Hart anyway. We fly back right,
Speaker 1: So we're up there for a couple of days, and
Speaker 1: we only in a couple of days because the kids
Speaker 1: have said, you know, we're really nice still to have
Speaker 1: a break with yourself. My wife and I just go
Speaker 1: away together and then we come back on Thursday. The
Speaker 1: whole reason why we come back thursdays we've had this
Speaker 1: airbnb for our two daughters to come and hang out.
Speaker 1: I haven't going to have a family long weekend, well,
Speaker 1: so we thought so obviously were gone for an airbnb
Speaker 1: that's big enough for four of us because we've got
Speaker 1: two beloved daughters. We pick up the car at the airport.
Speaker 1: By the time we arrive at the airbnb, I've had
Speaker 1: two phone calls and both of my separate daughters they
Speaker 1: can't make it. My wife and I get there, we
Speaker 1: don't think that's finny, you know, it's we've raised them right,
Speaker 1: they you know, they don't need to know. We don't
Speaker 1: need to hang out with us. And suddenly we'd had
Speaker 1: all this meat we've got as well for the family
Speaker 1: barbecue suddenly cut for Friday night. It's just my wife
Speaker 1: and I those plates clanking around in a massive empty
Speaker 1: cavanice a Titanic doing all these bedrooms, these empty beds,
