1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So, yeah,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: extraordinary scenes yesterday at about what nine twenty is when?

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: So is it is that right now?

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: Is that official?

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Abouts? Here? A magnitude six five point nine? I believe

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: just a fraction of six. Yeah, you could round it up. Yeah,

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: the seismologists should have just rounded up, because in fact,

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: if I was around there, I say almost seven. You know,

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: once you get about the five, you don't really worry

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: about It's something radio figures come out and your number one.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: But you know there's a little site fudge of it

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: where they just claim it anyway, So peraraently, where was

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: the ePIE Center because they're saying that was it Mansfield? Yeah,

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Mansfield which is northeast of Melbourne about what is it

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: three and a half hours four hours away?

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: That's your old stop.

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: It's not far. Yeah, relatives felt the ground move yesterday.

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: I think everyone felt something yesterday. Tom you know his

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: girlfriend works in surgery. She's a doctor. She was in surgery. Obviously, people,

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: because if you think about what anyone is doing in

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: a big city like Melbourne at exactly that moment in

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: the morning, they're doing stuff and we're in lockdown, but

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: there's still a central service has been carried out. People

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: are performing procedures now. There was an open heart surgery

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: going on, and you can imagine the shake. Jack and

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: I were in this studio just having a meeting. It

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: was swaying puts it mildly. It made the building feel flimsy,

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: And that's what many people said the same thing. This

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: building is flimsy. That's what I like, because I remember

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: just thinking, so is this it? I'll die because this

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: building won't survive much more of this. I mean, there's

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: barely a day goes by there's not a horrible smell

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: of crap out there where the sewer problems. Remember like

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: once a week the male toilets are just bunned up

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: where they're out of order, and just walking into a

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: reception there's often a horrible smell of an open tree.

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: If they can't even get the toilets working, it ain't

38
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna survive five point nine on the rick.

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: This does have a feeling of like one of the

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: first buildings in Melbourne.

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, little be Now it's actually Betty. But if that's

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: taking a count out any longer, and we're on the

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: second floor here. I did actually think, so, wait, is

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: this it we die? Yeah, and we didn't move a muscle. No,

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: we're in an emergent, sitting there with your feet up there.

46
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Jack and I were stood up. I remember one point

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: grabbing hold of the studios, like that's going to save me.

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: This will.

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: My biceps are pretty strong and probably stronger than probably

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: stronger than manitude six. I thought you were going to

51
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: secure the radio.

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Equipment, secured the station.

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: Captain goes down with the station and I'm just dinner

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: in that trailer. This radio station is thirty years old

00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: to my true. Yeah, I just yeah, I just read that.

56
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know anyone told any of us. Yeah. Here

57
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: they're having a party on it that we're invited to.

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: This is like my DA stream.

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm being rejected everywhere, even my own radio station. Also,

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: this radio station would be thirties heading into Middle Ages. Meanwhile,

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Boris Johnson was a guy that's start discussing it at

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,840

Speaker 3: Even I've been there, like I've passed her on my

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: way to the Skifield.

76
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: how justify that? Boris The Christian O'Connell show podcast. I

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: got an email here from Adam this simpler show right now,

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Hello Adam, Christian, listen to you play in excess from

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: the Grand Final. I was there, been to four Grand

80
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Finals as a Saints fan, always a hugely disappointing day,

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: and it has played. They were great. And as we

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: were trudging back Laka after yet another disappointing Grand Final,

83
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: I was stood in my sent Kilda kit. We looked

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: over and I saw Kirk Pengilly from an excess walking

85
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: as well. He looked over, saw me and my family.

86
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Our eyes met. I could see nothing but a sympathy

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: in his eyes, and he sort of had been one

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: of those that like that was ugly. That's from Adam.

89
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Just to clarify some of them. We just played this

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: out earlier for Boris Johnson and Scomo talking about the quake.

91
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: I was very sorry you had an earthquake just yet

92
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: in the Mansfield that's right in Victoria, which I know well.

93
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of you have found out.

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: I've told us.

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Then. The reason why Boris Johnson really does know Mansfield

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: well is apparently quite a few of you texting him.

97
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: Boris was apparently a teacher at timber Top.

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: Oh really imagine having.

99
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Him as a teacher. It would be an amazing chaos

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: but incredible. Every lesson would be amazing with Boris. So

101
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: yesterday when with the big earthquake shook Melbourne, Jack and

102
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: I I were in the studio. The show had just

103
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: finished at nine o'clock, I think it was around sort

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: of twenty past nine, nine to twenty five, and it

105
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: went on for we now know went on for ten seconds.

106
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: We're on the second floor. The building was already shaking,

107
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: and then when it all calmed down, no one really

108
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: knew what was going on. We just thought it was

109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: some building work. This building weren't going on in here,

110
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: and it was only then when we realized when we

111
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: were told that it had been an earthquake, and it

112
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: was possibly a five point eight five point nine. But

113
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the incredible thing was loads of you were calling in.

114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: There was this instinctive need for all of us to

115
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: talk about what we've just been through and compare notes.

116
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: You want to talk to somebody, and so me, Jack

117
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: and Pats jumped into the studio and recorded a load

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: of calls with you guys. And I'm really glad we

119
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: did because so this was live yesterday. I reckon what

120
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: minutes after the earthquake magnitude six. Here were some of

121
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: the calls RTT. So did you feel that quake?

122
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, dann in point cook make everything in the shed

123
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: was moving around, and me mate across the road, Daddy's

124
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: prel water was moving a bit of foot over each side.

125
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: You were okay? Were you frightened?

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: It did shivering me a little bit. Yeah, I've never

128
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: felt an earthquake before.

129
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: Stay safe, Brett. Thanks to Colling Buddy.

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: Budd Karen tell you what it was horrible.

131
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: I work in the general store, and post office at

132
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Panton Hill.

133
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: The whole place started shaking. I thought a truck had

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: hit the shot. The doors on the storage cabinet fell down,

135
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: and it was just.

136
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're scared. At first, I thought what was that.

137
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: Then it just kept rumbling and rumbling, and I thought,

138
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: oh my god. And I ran outside and I couldn't

139
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: see anything, and then I realized, I think we had

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: an earthquake. IM glad you're okay, Karen, thanks to Corning.

141

Speaker 1: Did the earth move for you.

144
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: In a big way?

145
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: Mate.

146
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: We were sitting in the mid noddles, just waiting for

147
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: our order to come through, and the car started shaking.

148
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: We thought they were tricking us, just walking up and

149
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: shaking the back.

150
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: To get those shakes shaky. It's a new promotion, the

151
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: shaky Shakes in town, and weren't.

152
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: Forfee enough, so I was trying to prof others it more.

153
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: John, take care, Thanks Mick.

154
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: I was inside me Fair Tree and I was just

155
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: making up paint because I'm doing a bit of painting there,

156
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: and then I've felt like a little tremor and I

157
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: looked up on the roof because they've got cross bars

158
