WEBVTT - MINI: Your're Not Australian Until

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes something will happen and I feel like this is

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>another moment as I gradually merge inside into becoming incrementally Australian.

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I felt like the new one. Recently, so I came

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>face to face with a Huntsman spider. Now, we don't

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>have any deadly animals in the UK, right there's a

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 2>thing good, a grass snake where you might get some

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>mild chafing, whereas here snakes things in the water. There's

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of deadly animals and of course spiders. Now

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Huntsmen spiders. I know they're not poisonous, but I'm telling

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>you when I saw this thing, it's scared the hell.

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.919
<v Speaker 3>Open and they look terrified. They're actually the friendly one.

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And I was staying in a hotel right by myself

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and I ran. My wife went, there is a bloody

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>great huntsman and it's under the bed. And she went, oh,

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Christian's call reception, get them. I said, I'd rather be

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>attacked and die from it the core reception. I'm the

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>most this person Australia right now, can you come and

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>help me get rid of a friendly spider? From under

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 2>the bed. Plus the girl who was on reception was

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>about nineteen. So for three days I shared this hotel

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>room with this Huntsman spider and he kept coming out

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>from under the bed, and then as I got near

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 2>it to try and kid myself and him that I

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>was going to remove him, he would just go back

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>under the bed. So I never slept very well because

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 2>any moment, you know, when you once you're aware of something,

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>you become hyper vigilant, don't you. In the night, no,

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 2>I turn all the lights on and go he's toying

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>with me. Now I know he was on my face.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Where is he? And I was getting down the floor

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>looking under the bed. He's on something right now, he's

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>going to drop on me. So today on the show,

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I want to know, you're not on Australian until what

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>do you think are the key quintessential things that go

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>up actually becoming an Australian for me coming face to

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>face with a Huntsman spider. Well, and there's another one

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>that happened of the week after I saw a photo

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>of this. But you said, Caitlin, what have you got

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>set up in your backyard?

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I have a rip a few five inch TV on

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 4>a bracket outside swivel so I can have it.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>At any TV is not only Australian, but bogan Australian.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I saw photos of your barbecue Grand Final barbecue and

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 3>it looks so glaar Did you even see what was

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>going on?

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 4>No, you can actually change the setting, so the picture writer,

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 4>so it's yeah, there's another setting that's like, you could

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 4>go cinema day, cinnamon night sports.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>And who needs to put the team into sportsports? You

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>know what? This Grand Fire is not sports enough for me.

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>The Swams could have done with that mode themselves. You

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>put it into small mode that is. Yeah, that's a

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>classic one. If you're not in Australia until you have

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a backyard TV.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 4>It was a ripper and I grew up with one.

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 4>It's anyone that I knew growing up in Queensland had

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 4>one in their backyard. You can't beat it.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And why is it? Why do you need outside and

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 2>they can't just go inside.

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 4>Because the weather's like a beautiful and you will sit

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 4>out there and have barbecues and the kids run around

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 4>the backyard.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>The TV not torture each others on in a minute,

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Remember as well, how big her backyard is.

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Remember when you moved house. She kept going, Oh, my

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 3>backyard so big, so big, bigger than the house backus,

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 3>bigger than the whole house.

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's like another entertainment area.

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 5>It's an outdoor room.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Patsy, what do you think You're not an Australian

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 2>until well.

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 5>You talk about wildlife. Growing up, we had a family

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 5>of goannas living in our backyard tree, this hollowed out tree.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 5>And I'm not kidding, you're not going to believe me,

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 5>but this goanna once came up on our back veranda.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 5>It was like six foot long. It was huge. It

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 5>was like a coo dragon. It was massive. And then

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 5>another time we had a family of tiger snakes under

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 5>our house.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, you're kidding under our house?

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Ye deadly, Yeah, of course it was.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 5>I remember going out to get on my bike one

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 5>one afternoon and there was like little snakes. It had

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 5>had babies.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Photo and so they lived in Queensland. They had one

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.119
<v Speaker 3>of those goings. And she's not lying about beIN six

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>foot Really it was on the screen, the backscreen door

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 3>holding on so they were taking him from inside the

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 3>house and it was on the other side of the screen.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>That Jurassic Park.

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Really they're massive and this thing used to We're on

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 5>like acreage and it'd run across the back. It was massive.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 5>It was totally like a Dinasa.

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:21.920
