Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Rio, good morning, Good.
Speaker 2: Morning, Patsy, morning everyone, Good.
Speaker 1: Morning, Alex, Good morning. So this is day two of
Speaker 1: your new breakfast show. I know you didn't ask for it.
Speaker 1: We're here anyway. We started yesterday. We are the show
Speaker 1: that come January next year, are replacing Jones in Manday.
Speaker 1: Don't need to worry. They're not going anywhere. They're resting
Speaker 1: at the moment. They're in a retirement home. Actually for
Speaker 1: radio presenters, it's a lovely place. They're well looked after,
Speaker 1: their three solid meals a day, meat raffle every evening
Speaker 1: and bingo bingo twice a day. They're so happy there
Speaker 1: right now. So on one radio station, this radio station,
Speaker 1: come January, we'll be waking you up and then they'd
Speaker 1: be taking you home. So the good we're here this
Speaker 1: week to try and get you through. This week is
Speaker 1: an extraordinary time and a moment in history for Sydney
Speaker 1: and Australia. And even though everyone around the world is
Speaker 1: talking about what's happened, and the other thing is what's happening.
Speaker 1: There's two things at play here. There's what happened Sunday night,
Speaker 1: and I think what is giving us a lot of
Speaker 1: comfort is all these stories of community, and we're reminded
Speaker 1: of that there are more, way more overwhelmingly kind hearted,
Speaker 1: generous people in this world. There's been so many acts
Speaker 1: of kindness that have happened in the last day and
Speaker 1: a half, and I thought today, if you know of any,
Speaker 1: please share them, because I think we all need them
Speaker 1: right now, we really really do. And actually they remind
Speaker 1: people that the horror and the tragedy of what happens
Speaker 1: Sunday is going to be something that we're going to
Speaker 1: be processing and dealing with and trying to hear with
Speaker 1: for a very very long time. And obviously that I'm
Speaker 1: aware that there are people who are wide about loved
Speaker 1: ones right now who are going to be going through Christmas,
Speaker 1: you know, who are mourning people who lost their lives
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And there are what thirty people still in
Speaker 1: us all.
Speaker 4: Perhaps yeah, about twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what I want today, though, is to remind ourselves
Speaker 1: of these stories of support and of community. And just
Speaker 1: people doing nice things on that. The Hero of the
Speaker 1: Year Australi unofficial Streading of the Year is obviously hmed
Speaker 1: the fact that he's become like beyoncey a one name brand.
Speaker 1: I mean everyone knows, even getting the Ether And this
Speaker 1: morning the guy and I were talking about Armed yep, right,
Speaker 1: we know so much about this guy's you know, three
Speaker 1: or four days ago we didn't know who Armed was,
Speaker 1: but now he is.
Speaker 2: He's the hero we really need.
Speaker 1: It's an incredible story what he did. And every day
Speaker 1: this week we're doing a thing for you guys where
Speaker 1: we're giving you the access to a billboards.
Speaker 2: Billboards of Sydney.
Speaker 1: There are these big electronic ones where we didn't know
Speaker 1: but you can change the message on them within ours.
Speaker 1: We have a load of these big billboards all over
Speaker 1: Sydney and each day we're giving you a chance to
Speaker 1: put whatever message you want on them. Whatever that is.
Speaker 1: It might be happy Christmas to your loved ones, you
Speaker 1: might want to propose. Yesterday, on day one for the
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show, one of you, Shane said something just
Speaker 1: perfect that really spoke for everybody. He just wanted on
Speaker 1: the billboard. Good on your shape, not good on your
Speaker 1: shae getting up on a Monday on your ahmen, and
Speaker 1: that stood up there. I think we should keep that
Speaker 1: one up all week. Yes, definitely. So later was waning
Speaker 1: from seven o'clock, we've been asking me again, what do
Speaker 1: you want to put on the billboards today? So team,
Speaker 1: what are the good news stories that have come out
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours?
Speaker 2: What have you got rere mate.
Speaker 5: I had goosebumps watching the news yesterday the que from
Speaker 5: the town Hall Blood Donation Center. I know the Red
Speaker 5: Cross put out a alert they were desperately in need
Speaker 5: of blood. The q snaking around the CBD from the
Speaker 5: town Hall Blood Donation Center.
Speaker 2: People were waiting for four hours.
Speaker 5: I just read that there was also Good Samaritans who
Speaker 5: were making macas runs, getting Hash Browns from the makers
Speaker 5: of the CBD and giving hash Browns to the people
Speaker 5: waiting in line.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: Just give me goosebumps.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that was that really warmed my heart. Yesterday
Speaker 5: they're still looking for own negative donors. I know they
Speaker 5: have been overwhelmed, but they asked still on the hunt
Speaker 5: for those. So if you are an own negative donor,
Speaker 5: please get to the nearest Red cross.
Speaker 1: PASSI what are the other good news?
Speaker 6: This go fundme page Christian that's been set up for Ahmed.
Speaker 6: It's attracting major community contributions. It's currently at about one
Speaker 6: and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1: I want nothing about this. And before we met up
Speaker 1: for dinner last night, I was in at Tax and
Speaker 1: ATTAXID I was telling about it and it was like
Speaker 1: eight one hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, just incredible business.
Speaker 1: I think a business or some business people have set
Speaker 1: this up and the money goes to Armored and it's
Speaker 1: like what one point three million.
Speaker 4: One point five as it stands?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 6: One yeah, one point five. But you know he'll be
Speaker 6: off work for a long time. He's a dad with
Speaker 6: two little girls. Goodness knows how much you know, even
Speaker 6: just the mental trauma down the track for him as well.
Speaker 4: They need their health.
Speaker 1: Physical and mental trauninger, so he's got to have I
Speaker 1: think I heard yesterday three or four surgeries. He wasn't
Speaker 1: just shot twice, so I think it was three or
Speaker 1: four times.
Speaker 4: Wow, So miracle he is alone.
Speaker 1: I've been shot already when he still went to tackle
Speaker 1: the guy to shoot. Really, I didn't see them, I'm
Speaker 1: sure when he's ready to speak, will get his full story.
Speaker 1: I saw is Mam and Dabin interviewed last night and
Speaker 1: they're from Syria and they just said, this is who
Speaker 1: our son is.
Speaker 4: Didn't they speak beautiful as it did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, incredible story.
Speaker 6: The other thing too, down at Bondi, a lot of
Speaker 6: the local cafes are just giving people free coffee and
Speaker 6: food because there's a floral shrine that's just growing by
Speaker 6: the hour down there, and you know what it's. Yes,
Speaker 6: it was the scene of just absolute atrocity, but it's
Speaker 6: also a place where people can go and mourn and
Speaker 6: pay tribute. It's a space where they all feel safe
Speaker 6: and they've got this connection. So sorry, it's really emotional,
Speaker 6: but so local cafes down there, local business owners are
Speaker 6: just giving people free coffee.
Speaker 1: You Almos loved it is. I think that people are
Speaker 1: always looking for a way to try and be kind
Speaker 1: and we forget that we can choose to do that.
Speaker 1: You don't need a tragedy to do that, you know,
Speaker 1: the one, the one, the only good thing to come
Speaker 1: out the last couple of days or all these stories, Alex,
Speaker 1: what else have you seen so.
Speaker 7: Much support, especially some from sort of community leaders too,
Speaker 7: and one guy a colleague of minut Channel seven. Larry Ender,
Speaker 7: absolute legend, one of the last names.
Speaker 2: Say the Big Al.
Speaker 1: You don't drive out there's the big or oh Roy
Speaker 1: Robison And in Australia the Big Al is Larry Elder. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't casually go a colleague of mine you just
Speaker 1: mentioned like the Pope, the go the go of daytime TV.
Speaker 1: If there's a lightweight game show, you call Larry.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: If you need someone to throw to an infomercial, you
Speaker 5: get Larry Elder.
Speaker 1: Larry and I were up for the same game show
Speaker 1: two years ago. I bowed out, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: There's no way on winning that race. And sometimes Enda
Speaker 1: has it. I give it to you, Larry.
Speaker 7: It's rude to go for that, and sometimes you go
Speaker 7: high lower is right the tow of Larry.
Speaker 8: They can do that.
Speaker 7: Let's but he sent out this beautiful message yesterday. He
Speaker 7: took him about thirty five takes because he was so upset.
Speaker 7: It was so heartfelt, it was so beautilessul Was. He
Speaker 7: spent most of his life at Bondai. Fifty sixty years.
Speaker 7: He was at that park, Archer Park, so many days
Speaker 7: of his life and this beautiful heartfelt I guess thank
Speaker 7: you to the people, the first responders, those people that
Speaker 7: came and helped and did what they could to save
Speaker 7: people's lives that day, and his message of support was
Speaker 7: just really wonderful. And I guess also the sporting landscape
Speaker 7: as well, there's people like Usman Kohwaja saying things like
Speaker 7: up before the break of dawn and praying for the
Speaker 7: Jewish and Bondai community as a whole, no room whatsoever
Speaker 7: for those hate crimes. We know that the players tomorrow
Speaker 7: in Adelaide test there'll be a minute silence. You're going
Speaker 7: to wear black arm mans and Pat Cummins also issuing
Speaker 7: the call for blood donation and Adelaide Oval flags at
Speaker 7: half mast as well.

Speaker 1: shrinkled for blood from the English players.

Speaker 1: years old?
Speaker 2: It's never good, you know, Oh, that's actually much more recent.
Speaker 1: You do it just to depress yourself. What do you
Speaker 1: mean that's twenty seven years old? How can that be

Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, is it. I watched it. That's
Speaker 5: what you think. You think it's gonna age ply, it's
Speaker 5: so funny. It's still so so funny.
Speaker 1: I remember when it came out, right, it was just
Speaker 1: the biggest thing in the world. Yes, Mike Myers became
Speaker 1: a megastar, and it was just every scene had either
Speaker 1: a visual gag or a one liner. Everything shamelessly silly. Yes, yes,

Speaker 1: we gave away a billboard. You know the billboards. You
Speaker 1: see them every single day. They are all over the world,
Speaker 1: all over Sydney. Wherever you're driving, there's a billboard. We
Speaker 1: found out that you can actually change the messages on
Speaker 1: them within hours, and so we have a company's billboards
Speaker 1: every single day this week. We have access to them,
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous, that's crazy, and we can put a
Speaker 1: message up there day by day, whatever you want. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: on the first day of Winter Billboard, a lovely listener

Speaker 1: We got so many lovely messages for people who after
Speaker 1: the show yesterday were driving around of getting on with
Speaker 1: your lives. Suddenly you see your billboard with good on
Speaker 1: your armed and it makes you feel something. And right
Speaker 1: now we need hope, we need support, we really do.
Speaker 1: And I've got a message here from Zena that she
Speaker 1: took from a car the passenger seat yesterday on the
Speaker 1: M four. Normally you don't really take a posts sound social?
Speaker 1: Why would you just depressing as a car park? Christian
Speaker 1: just drove past a billboard on the M four. I
Speaker 1: started crying. It's so good. That's from Dina and lots

Speaker 1: here Sunday afternoon, I got into a taxi and this
Speaker 1: guy and I went deep into his life. He was
Speaker 1: I think he thought he had Michael Parkinson in the
Speaker 1: car and this was the interview he's been waiting for
Speaker 1: his whole life. I'm not joking. And I said, I
Speaker 1: know how much debt he's got, right, Wow, you really

Speaker 2: Anyways.
Speaker 1: It was a lovely guy. And as we're going through
Speaker 1: the various tunnels of Sydney, of which there appears to
Speaker 1: be more tunnels than any other city in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I start saying, oh, there's a lot tunnels here, and
Speaker 1: he goes, oh, some of the best tunnels in the
Speaker 1: world are here in Sydney. Well, wow, that's quite a
Speaker 1: flex and he goes, in fact, there's a cutting edge
Speaker 1: new tunnel that's being built under one of the tunnels.
Speaker 2: A tunnel under the fund.
Speaker 1: Now I don't know where he was just winding out
Speaker 1: with a wide eyed palm who didn't really know anything
Speaker 1: about the tunnel system here tics, Is that true? There's
Speaker 1: a tunnel being built under the tunnel?
Speaker 8: I believe so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And there was this spaghetti junction and that was supposed
Speaker 7: to relieve traffic going out to the Paramounta Road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it created a disaster for the people of Roselle.
Speaker 7: Don't get the people of the Inner West started on
Speaker 7: spaghetti junction.
Speaker 1: Civil War much anyhow, absolutely mad.
Speaker 8: If you live in Balmona roseill just don't bring it up.
Speaker 8: Sorry I brought it up.
Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, sorry. So there's a tunnel being built under
Speaker 1: a tunnel.
Speaker 3: Wow, how did they do that?
Speaker 5: I didn't even know how you build a first tunnel,
Speaker 5: so I would have no idea how you build a
Speaker 5: tunnel under a tunnel.
Speaker 1: Well, back to me and my new friend Dean on Sunday, right,
Speaker 1: we were talking about his life and times and then
Speaker 1: we're talking about tunnels and how do they build them,
Speaker 1: and is it incredible these tunnels now that they can
Speaker 1: build quicker than before. It's He goes, and he's obviously
Speaker 1: in his sixties. He goes, do you know what, I've
Speaker 1: had my time again, I'd be a tunnel maker. So
Speaker 1: we all have those what could have been omens seen
Speaker 1: another life, a parallel life as a tunnel maker, building
Speaker 1: tunnels in Sydney the envy of the world. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: other city has tunnels under tunnels?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So here's what I want to do.
Speaker 1: I want to by the end of this week, when
Speaker 1: we say goodbye to you guys and then we're back
Speaker 1: in January. I want to have a weird and wonderful
Speaker 1: guy to Sydney love it. And I don't mean the
Speaker 1: stuff you find on Google or the mukut gave away
Speaker 1: to Taurus. I mean the real weird and wonderful guy
Speaker 1: to Sydney. Already My first entry is wait, they have
Speaker 1: tunnels under tunnels. I mean that should be a marketing campaign. Yes,
Speaker 1: the opera house is stunning.
Speaker 2: Yes, wait till you see what's underneath the harbor.
Speaker 1: Stay for the tunnels under the tunnels. Now you must
Speaker 1: have some things are my weird and wonderful going to Sydney.
Speaker 1: What do I need to know?
Speaker 2: Yes, one thing that's not making the Lonely Planet guide
Speaker 2: is the town Hall steps.
Speaker 5: Now these are out the front of the Sydney Town Hall,
Speaker 5: in between the KFC and the QVB building.
Speaker 1: This is an the fact that you were EMO with
Speaker 1: the KFC building.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the other landmark of Cydney's Opera House.
Speaker 5: And this is a famous multi generational teen loitering spot
Speaker 5: and it is a microcosm of the fads of the time.
Speaker 5: So for my sister's generation, it was goths. Goths would
Speaker 5: always hang out at the Sydney Town Hall. Vast the
Speaker 5: millennials emos. If you would go past town Hall anytime
Speaker 5: and day, even in the stinking heat in summer, you've
Speaker 5: got emos with the I make up, the listening to
Speaker 5: simple planting them to the town Hall steps. It's a
Speaker 5: loitering spot. They just sit there and loiter and they
Speaker 5: just spend time at Sydney Town Hall.
Speaker 1: There's another entry in my Weird and Wonderful Going to Sydney, Alex.
Speaker 1: What have you got the.
Speaker 7: Blue line as you come on to the Anzac Bridge
Speaker 7: city bound, because the blue line is still there from
Speaker 7: the marathon. So the blue line guided people marathon runners
Speaker 7: during the Sydney Olympic Games and not.
Speaker 1: Being funny about how thick are the runners. If you
Speaker 1: need a line, there's thousands of people running ahead of you.
Speaker 1: Unless you're winning the race.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: You need a guy, you don't need arrows. Who's still
Speaker 1: out there now running lots in Paramattaca?
Speaker 8: Where is Everywhere's the finish line.
Speaker 1: That's the toughest mount in the world. You haven't even
Speaker 1: run under the tunnel.
Speaker 2: Under the tunnel again, but the blue line is.
Speaker 8: Still there and it's a lovely reminder.
Speaker 1: Brillian, Oh you keep it there? Yeah, yeah, all right,

Speaker 1: can text me for my weird and wonderful guy to Sydney.
Speaker 1: What can you share?
Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: As I'm getting to know Sydney. I want to shortcut that,
Speaker 1: and I want to have a weird and wonderful guy
Speaker 1: to Sydney, not the staff to chatch Ebt would throw
Speaker 1: up or would be on Google, or the pass off
Speaker 1: to Tauris. I want to know the weird and wonderful
Speaker 1: truthsome facts of Sydney. Now, any place I've been to
Speaker 1: in the world, London had it, Melbourne, Scotland as well,
Speaker 1: every city and Cydy cannot be any stranger. This has
Speaker 1: a mythical, mystical animal all right in London. I've seen it,
Speaker 1: but no one believes me. I've seen King Rat.
Speaker 2: Well is King Rat.
Speaker 1: Obviously in the underground system and back to It's like
Speaker 1: the theme of the show for substrange reasons. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: underground system has been there for years in London. There
Speaker 1: are obviously a lot of rats, okay, and there is
Speaker 1: a king Rap. This is a there's a phenomenon with
Speaker 1: rats because there's so many of them, they become entangled
Speaker 1: with their tails, and so King Rat is eighteen rats.
Speaker 2: Who's counting them? I've seen it. It's terrifying. I've seen
Speaker 2: King Rat a bad city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen King Rat, but no one ever believes
Speaker 1: me and eighteen bodied rats. It's the stuff of nightmare.
Speaker 6: So there's a king of the king rats who decides
Speaker 6: which directions.
Speaker 1: No, that's the horror they're all going into. It's like
Speaker 1: the show. They're all going in different directions. They're hopelessly entangled.
Speaker 1: Even Stephen King couldn't come up with such a thing.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the days after.
Speaker 2: Just seeing it. I'm never going to London.
Speaker 1: If it grabs you, I'm not coming to save you.
Speaker 1: So anyway, there must be a mister call animal of Sydney.
Speaker 1: What is it? Oh, the panther.
Speaker 2: Melbourne's got the panther as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got one as well.
Speaker 2: It's a big gap.
Speaker 4: What about those water dragons I saw yesterday.
Speaker 1: Where they're not mythical, they're just there their natural habitat.
Speaker 7: Panthers got their name from this mythical panther, and the
Speaker 7: panther apparently still wandering the Blue Mountains one loan panthers,
Speaker 7: one loan panther that they reckon may have might have
Speaker 7: alleged to have escape from a circus, right.
Speaker 1: I want it to be true. Yes, yeah, I've never
Speaker 1: heard a love an escape from the circus story.
Speaker 8: Yeah, back in the nineteen twenties. They live a long
Speaker 8: old age.
Speaker 1: What is a hundred year old panther?
Speaker 2: That is you going to find it?

Speaker 14: of the hum Highway. Yeah, Wood Road and Henry Laws
Speaker 14: and drive.

Speaker 1: It goes above the above the road, not the side
Speaker 1: like normal traffic lights.
Speaker 14: Yeah, a big square thing above the road on on
Speaker 14: steel framework on the corners.
Speaker 5: It's like a it's like think of the ugliest traffic
Speaker 5: light you could possibly think of, and it's this huge,
Speaker 5: big for some reason, like a steel structure that goes
Speaker 5: across the hall.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to know.

Speaker 9: It a few years ago.

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: I am making my weird and wonderful guy to Sydney.
Speaker 1: I want to really know the city, and I want
Speaker 1: to go on Google. I don't want to ask AI
Speaker 1: chat GPT. It's just going to say it serve up
Speaker 1: the same old stuff, Okay. I want the really weird
Speaker 1: and unusual facts. When I arrived here Sunday, the taxi
Speaker 1: driver told me that they're building a tunnel under a tunnel.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. This blew my mind. That's my
Speaker 1: first entry in Christian ocondals. Totally useless guy to Sydney.
Speaker 1: Alex has told us about the mythical animal, the panther
Speaker 1: of the Blue Mountains. Someone else is recommended they go
Speaker 1: and as some fish and chips on Manly Beach. I'm
Speaker 1: staying at Manley. I did do that yesterday, and I
Speaker 1: did go to buy some chips, some hot chips and
Speaker 1: sit on the beach. And then I left rapily because
Speaker 1: the largest seagulls I've ever seen in my life actually
Speaker 1: feared they were going to fly away with me. It
Speaker 1: was like that dress part. Why is the seagulls so?
Speaker 1: Are they giving them or something? Mutant seagulls.
Speaker 2: I never noticed that they were that big. Maybe you
Speaker 2: have time.
Speaker 1: I made a mistake, right, I offered a few up
Speaker 1: to my seagull overlords and then more descend. There was
Speaker 1: a lovely old couple sat there innocently on this bench
Speaker 1: next to me. They tutted and walked off because the
Speaker 1: seagulls are now descending on us. Yes, yes, that created
Speaker 1: a seagull orgie.
Speaker 2: It's a cardinal seed in Sydney to be feeding the seagulls.
Speaker 1: Because yes, like pelicans, because.
Speaker 2: Now you're ruining the whole promenade, all the seagulls.
Speaker 1: The more I think about it, I think I saw
Speaker 1: that panther. It's moved from the Blue Mountains. Somebody's got
Speaker 1: a bit of coin. It's not cheap around Manley and
Speaker 1: their wings panthers. Even monkeys talk about the panther. Right
Speaker 1: you mentioned that is Bob's on the line now and
Speaker 1: here because he's actually seen it. Bob, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Yes, good.
Speaker 9: Morning, Kristin. Yes, I have seen it. I've seen it twice.
Speaker 1: No where did you say it? That's incredible, Bob. Where
Speaker 1: did you see it?
Speaker 2: Mate?
Speaker 9: Well, look, I was I used to be involved with
Speaker 9: the maintenance on the Info Motorway and we were I
Speaker 9: was out there with the maintenance manager, and we were
Speaker 9: looking at replacing the concrete V drains and we were
Speaker 9: sort of in the in the bushy part out near Blacktown,
Speaker 9: and we were looking in the V drains and we
Speaker 9: were walking on the concrete, so we were fairly silent.
Speaker 9: And we came around and we just round a bit
Speaker 9: of a corner and there he was. We saw him
Speaker 9: for about maybe three three and a half seconds, and
Speaker 9: then he got into As soon as he saw us,
Speaker 9: he took off. He went into the drains because the
Speaker 9: system there is.
Speaker 1: Massive, massive, won't they big storm drains?
Speaker 9: Yes, they are, and he uses he uses that to
Speaker 9: travel from.
Speaker 1: There all the way out his own secret Panther Highway.
Speaker 9: And the second time I saw him was about three
Speaker 9: years after that, and that was out around the Blacktown
Speaker 9: Drive in an area.
Speaker 1: Again he loves that area, didn't he maymbe he's got
Speaker 1: a bit of side action, a little pantherest on the site.
Speaker 9: Anyway, the I'm saw him, it was about the size
Speaker 9: of a fully grown German shepherd and big muscular head,
Speaker 9: you know, big head on him.
Speaker 2: Muscular head.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. He's so claim to fame.
Speaker 9: He really exists, and you know, I had the maintenance.
Speaker 2: Manager with me, another eyewitness that is now Bob.
Speaker 5: We heard that it was from nineteen twenty, this panther,
Speaker 5: so we thought it must be a very old pan.
Speaker 1: With a muscular head. Yes, this is the Jacks Chick boat.
Speaker 2: Did it seem like an old panther.
Speaker 9: I don't know how long these things live, but we
Speaker 9: saw him about fifteen years ago. So there used to
Speaker 9: be a zoo out in Well. There used to be
Speaker 9: a circus that traveled around and it stored as animals
Speaker 9: out near Silverdale.
Speaker 1: Right. He's probably a skate though, isn't.
Speaker 9: He And that's most probably the theory.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon he put its muscular head in between
Speaker 1: those bars and pop them off. It flexed them.
Speaker 9: It certainly had a big buff head.
Speaker 1: The tos the big buffheaded panther of Sydney. The legend
Speaker 1: lives on, Bob. Thank you very very much. Keith is going.
Speaker 1: I love this. It's now really rocking. The weird wonderful
Speaker 1: guy to Sydney with the muscular buffhead of the Sydney
Speaker 1: panther that travels underneath us, underneath us, undetected down the
Speaker 1: storm drain system. There and if you're wondering Sydney. Why
Speaker 1: to listen to the show is that we're going to
Speaker 1: get amazing stories about the drain system of Sydney and

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: So my genius way to try and befriend a brand
Speaker 1: new city of Sydney. Also arrive Sunday with a lot
Speaker 1: of Christmas Hams. I realized it's a big city. You know,
Speaker 1: you got Carlin Jackie, I dominated it for years, and
Speaker 1: I thought there's a gap here for a guy to
Speaker 1: turn up with some Christmas hams. Welcome to the New King.
Speaker 1: And someone sent me a message today who obviously heard
Speaker 1: me yesterday. Go and we're not give them away today.
Speaker 1: I don't know when we'll be doing it. And however,
Speaker 1: I think the lovely thing to do would be to
Speaker 1: give them to the first respond It's just a small
Speaker 1: gift to let them know that we, even though we
Speaker 1: don't know them, we see what they did Sunday, which
Speaker 1: was just in the news there perhaps who played that
Speaker 1: clip and the guy talked about the extraordinary acts of
Speaker 1: bravery encourage that the flyow and that's there every single day,
Speaker 1: all right, but Sunday that's I can't even imagine what
Speaker 1: it's like to actually have seen that and trying to
Speaker 1: help people who were there. And so I think it'd
Speaker 1: be a lovely thing for us. Maybe we could even
Speaker 1: speak to them and do it tomorrow's show. But to
Speaker 1: give them these Christmas hams. Rosie's on the line because
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do that. I need information. Rosie.

Speaker 1: about first responders as the police as well as the
