0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I don't know if you guys have

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 1>been on a plane and you're in that aisle thirteen

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.119
<v Speaker 1>emergency row. Oh yes, I try to get the exit

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>row for extra Yeah, I thought you might do. Anyway,

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>My wife and I happened to be in that row

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and we're flying up to the Gold Coast last week. Now,

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you the briefing. Right, they sit there and

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they say, just so you're aware, this is emergency row,

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>extra responsibility. Right. I always make sure I'm listening and

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>taking it in. I even put my hand out just

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't pull that flat, but just to practice. What

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 1>the so I'm ready to go. No one else doing this,

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>just to give it a warm up. Okay, So I

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>know who and you yank down and push that through

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and check for fire on the wing. And then I

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>go in my mind though I've got responsibility, and so

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>is everyone else. Now we are working. In my mind,

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>we're working with the crew. It goes pil it me

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>and then underneath me, working underneath me, other stewards, the

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>lady next to me knocking back drinks. I don't think

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you can be drinking and then suddenly if it really

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you've got to get out that and you've had a

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of Europe. Then she started to doze off and

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>started that thing. She was nodding on my shoulder. And

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>you're not taking your responsibility seriously. We can't follow you

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>in an emergency. Now. The other thing, when we were

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>queuing up to get on the plane right at Melbourne Airport,

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 1>my wife goes Chris, but behind us is Ethan Hawk.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I went right, listen. Ethan Hawk is an on jip star.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Even though this is Economy X. He's obviously done very

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>well in Hollywood where he can step up like us. Lowie, Wow,

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>it's like business class but for poor people. I said,

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to look around, because Ethan Hawk is

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>not going away on school holidays to what has gone

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>wrong in his life where all of Elor's choices have

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>put him on this flight. Behind us. He could be

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>going to Movie World. You could be filming something at

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Warner Brothers. Anyway. You know when Selvin says, don't look

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a round you automatically, I don't know. It's not Ethan Hawk.

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a knacked old man who happens to have got.

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>That's it. It's not Ethan Hart anyway. We fly back right,

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>So we're up there for a couple of days, and

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we only in a couple of days because the kids

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>have said, you know, we're really nice still to have

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a break with yourself. My wife and I just go

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>away together and then we come back on Thursday. The

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>whole reason why we come back thursdays we've had this

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>airbnb for our two daughters to come and hang out.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't going to have a family long weekend, well,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>so we thought so obviously were gone for an airbnb

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that's big enough for four of us because we've got

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>two beloved daughters. We pick up the car at the airport.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>By the time we arrive at the airbnb, I've had

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>two phone calls and both of my separate daughters they

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>can't make it. My wife and I get there, we

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think that's finny, you know, it's we've raised them right,

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>they you know, they don't need to know. We don't

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>need to hang out with us. And suddenly we'd had

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>all this meat we've got as well for the family

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>barbecue suddenly cut for Friday night. It's just my wife

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and I those plates clanking around in a massive empty

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>cavanice a Titanic doing all these bedrooms, these empty beds,

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>should have been part of the Old Man. This is
