1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes something will happen and I feel like this is

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: another moment as I gradually merge inside into becoming incrementally Australian.

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: I felt like the new one. Recently, so I came

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: face to face with a Huntsman spider. Now, we don't

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: have any deadly animals in the UK, right there's a

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: thing good, a grass snake where you might get some

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: mild chafing, whereas here snakes things in the water. There's

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: a lot of deadly animals and of course spiders. Now

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: Huntsmen spiders. I know they're not poisonous, but I'm telling

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: you when I saw this thing, it's scared the hell.

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 3: Open and they look terrified. They're actually the friendly one.

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: And I was staying in a hotel right by myself

14
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: and I ran. My wife went, there is a bloody

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: great huntsman and it's under the bed. And she went, oh,

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Christian's call reception, get them. I said, I'd rather be

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: attacked and die from it the core reception. I'm the

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: most this person Australia right now, can you come and

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: help me get rid of a friendly spider? From under

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: the bed. Plus the girl who was on reception was

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: about nineteen. So for three days I shared this hotel

22
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: room with this Huntsman spider and he kept coming out

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: from under the bed, and then as I got near

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: it to try and kid myself and him that I

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: was going to remove him, he would just go back

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: under the bed. So I never slept very well because

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: any moment, you know, when you once you're aware of something,

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: you become hyper vigilant, don't you. In the night, no,

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: I turn all the lights on and go he's toying

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: with me. Now I know he was on my face.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Where is he? And I was getting down the floor

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: looking under the bed. He's on something right now, he's

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: going to drop on me. So today on the show,

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: I want to know, you're not on Australian until what

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: do you think are the key quintessential things that go

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: up actually becoming an Australian for me coming face to

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: face with a Huntsman spider. Well, and there's another one

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: that happened of the week after I saw a photo

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: of this. But you said, Caitlin, what have you got

40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: set up in your backyard?

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: I have a rip a few five inch TV on

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: a bracket outside swivel so I can have it.

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: At any TV is not only Australian, but bogan Australian.

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 3: I saw photos of your barbecue Grand Final barbecue and

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: it looks so glaar Did you even see what was

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: going on?

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: No, you can actually change the setting, so the picture writer,

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: so it's yeah, there's another setting that's like, you could

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: go cinema day, cinnamon night sports.

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: And who needs to put the team into sportsports? You

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: know what? This Grand Fire is not sports enough for me.

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: The Swams could have done with that mode themselves. You

53
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: put it into small mode that is. Yeah, that's a

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: classic one. If you're not in Australia until you have

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: a backyard TV.

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: It was a ripper and I grew up with one.

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 4: It's anyone that I knew growing up in Queensland had

58
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: one in their backyard. You can't beat it.

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: And why is it? Why do you need outside and

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: they can't just go inside.

61
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 4: Because the weather's like a beautiful and you will sit

62
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: out there and have barbecues and the kids run around

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: the backyard.

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: The TV not torture each others on in a minute,

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: Remember as well, how big her backyard is.

66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: Remember when you moved house. She kept going, Oh, my

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: backyard so big, so big, bigger than the house backus,

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: bigger than the whole house.

69
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like another entertainment area.

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: It's an outdoor room.

71
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patsy, what do you think You're not an Australian

Speaker 2: until well.

73
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800

Speaker 5: It was like six foot long. It was huge. It

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 5: was like a coo dragon. It was massive. And then

79
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 5: another time we had a family of tiger snakes under

80
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: our house.

81
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960

Speaker 2: said that's not going anywhere. Jason, I've recently done this,

109
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: so I think it's another milestone towards becoming Australian. You've

110
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: offered a six pack or a case of hera's payment

111

114
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: or similar to cross the road for Sarah, you find
