<v Speaker 1>Welcome to them. Christian o'connald Show podcast.

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Last week, we were up in a Gold Coast, first

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 2>time I've ever been up there since we moved to Australia,

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 2>and first morning there were having breakfast and I ordered

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a just a sort of breakfast and the lady comes

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 2>up about two months later too, I'm sorry, sir, we weren't.

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Able to have you able to have a hash brown.

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 3>I went, all right, okay, She gues there is a

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 3>nationwide shortage of hash Browns, and I went, what she's

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm not making it that way, No, in Australia.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 4>She was, Yeah, it's a major problem.

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm seeing you can't even get fries at some places now,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 5>O kidding potatoes why?

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 3>I think those are the floods and stuff because of

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 3>the weather conditions.

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, So do you think people are stopped paying them

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 2>in freezers or something. I'm tending to go and look

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>around and get something. Give them a way to listen

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 2>to my hash Browns. He's obviously like golden hash brown.

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 5>This is also just a rumor, but somebody told me

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 5>that McDonald's is starting to do potato cakes and they

0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 5>bought all the potatoes.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 4>Hid Wake up, Wake up sheep.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Moved on to the potato conspiracy Netflix stockow and it's

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>going to eat spud seriously. All right, what did you catch?

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>On Holiday?

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Nine? Four one one four three, Andrew? Good morning, Christian.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 6>You wouldn't believe what I've caught.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 4>What have you caught? Andrew?

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 7>It would have been about fifteen years ago. My wife

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 7>and I went to Vietnam and I was eating raw

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 7>meat and I caught a parasite that went to my eyeball.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 7>And I've still got it from this day on. And

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 7>about two years ago it died and it's still in

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 7>my eyeball.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 3>So it's sun took over.

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 7>It was from eating raw meat.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, point alert, it turns out that's

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>not that good for you raw meat.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 7>It's just a delay, that's all. But yeah, so I've

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 7>still got it at this day on. But every time

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 7>I blink, I can actually see the outline of the worm.

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 4>You're kidding me?

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.119
<v Speaker 7>Now?

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Much drives me mad?

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Andrew?

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I already lost my eyesight.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 4>Thing do nothing. Medical science can't help you.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.399
<v Speaker 7>No, no, no, they couldn't do anything. They just said,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 7>you've just got to wait for it to die. And

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 7>every time I blink. It is still the outline of

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 7>the worm in my elbow.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>So you've got like three eyes in a way, there's

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>your two and then you got the old mates off

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>there as well.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:40.239
<v Speaker 1>And now that he's.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Died, does he stop causing your trouble? Are you back

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 5>to nor great?

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Can you see his corpse? Can you see his outline

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>of his corps?

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 6>I can.

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh, you gotta wait for that to break down.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. Apparently it just stays there till it

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 7>eventually disappears.

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 5>That's what I had trouble going to sleep. But imagine

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 5>closing your mind, you're like, there's that.

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Andrew, that is incredible, mate. Thank you very much

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.520

<v Speaker 8>breke down, so we had to talette for the rest

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 8>of the holiday, and we didn't have much choice because

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 8>we didn't get to book in anywhere. And yeah, that's

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.880

<v Speaker 8>What do you do weet a week? And they're all

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 8>pretty itchy? And I just thought, you know, I say

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 8>people something like that. Anyway, I went to the doctors

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 8>and he's like, oh, you've got scabies.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.760

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 8>Yeah he did.

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but and what did he prescribe or treatment plan?

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 8>You get a medicated cream and you've literally got to

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.559
<v Speaker 8>smother yourself from head to toe in this sick white cream.

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Creams together back days together, get that cream on each other.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>That's your holiday trip, the itchy family. Yeah nice, Michelle,

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>thank you very much, No problem.

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 4>We went up for a big old long drive one day.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>It was like a couple of hours outside of Queenstown, right,

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and never saw there was you know, all those remote

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>looking be and be's they've got like.

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 4>A slight swing in the wind.

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>This thing said, now with Color TV, oh Flex.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>So apparently we are in a nation wide shortage of

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>hash Browns.

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.039
<v Speaker 4>Found us out.

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Last week at a cafe Mermaid Beach up on the

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Gold Coast. I ordered my breakfast and they loved it.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Lad he came back and said, we won't beable to

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 2>get you that hash brown. You can have some extra vocado.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 2>There's a nationwide shortage affecting all of Australia of hash Browns.

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 5>It's sad to know that hash brown is so far

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 5>down on the list of potato based items. I guess

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 5>you've got your chips potato cakes, but hash browns should

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 5>be really up the top. But no one's producing.

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Any no, which is very very sad. So we one

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>of those morning. Is this true? Have you had a

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.120

<v Speaker 2>have one these delicious delicacies. You found out that one

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of the supermarkets is limited is how many potatoes we can.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 5>We can only buy two packs now coals and they're

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.560
