Speaker 4: No, I don't seek it out. No, you can't go shopping,
Speaker 4: don't wear the clothes?
Speaker 3: What about plain covid? I remember the boss actually being
Speaker 3: only upset once and emailing when she heard you on air.
Speaker 3: Rummaging around in the merch cupboard here having yourself to Gold.
Speaker 3: I don't own any radio merch because you kind just
Speaker 3: wander around out there in your own radio station. We're going, oh,
Speaker 3: are you the guy from Gold? Sorry, I don't like
Speaker 3: to make a big deal about it other than this logo.
Speaker 3: I wear everything.
Speaker 4: Oh, I wear the gold T shirt, the gold hoodie,
Speaker 4: and the gold sweatshirt.
Speaker 3: You don't, I do? I do. Not even Huggy would
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 4: That's embarrassing. I'm proud to work at the radio way.
Speaker 3: You're just saying that I do wear them.
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding about that, And I thought the boss
Speaker 4: would actually prefer us to rummage through that cabin and
Speaker 4: wear them because we're promoting the radio station as we're
Speaker 4: out and about on our journeys.
Speaker 3: You love free merch, so even now while we're living
Speaker 3: podcasts free merch. There are a lot of radio shows
Speaker 3: to have zero merch, right, but podcast it's actually quite
Speaker 3: a cool T shirt. That's cool.
Speaker 4: I'm getting to the end of my wardrobe. That's why
Speaker 4: I'm pulling out the podcast T shirts. But I do
Speaker 4: like a bit of free merch. If anybody listening has
Speaker 4: a small business or anything with free merch, I will
Speaker 4: wear your T shirt in this station. You might even
Speaker 4: get on the Instagram videos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an influence. I don't know, is I tell
Speaker 3: you what? Though? Because you are what are you?
Speaker 4: Six ' five six six three six four rand up?

Speaker 3: You are a human versine. You know that thing you
Speaker 3: see outside of car showroom sometimes that versus but I
Speaker 3: was in the winds ahstick mess. You're a human versus
Speaker 3: of that. So actually, if there is a medium size
Speaker 3: or small business that wants to be advertised, get a
Speaker 3: tool guy to be human billboard.
Speaker 4: I'll walk around as your billboard. I'll happily wear your
Speaker 4: merch on the show out on the streets. If it's
Speaker 4: a call design, I'll put it on.
Speaker 3: How are you going to define call design? Say that
Speaker 3: someone who who installs like air con or something like that,
Speaker 3: and they've got that because everyone these days they've got
Speaker 3: their little T shirts, haven't they that they turn up
Speaker 3: with their logo on.

Speaker 3: If it's you know, are you actually going to assess
Speaker 3: what they look like what they send you?
Speaker 4: Maybe send me a photo first and I'll give your
Speaker 4: thumbs up thumbs up down.
Speaker 3: This is why this guy is an influencer. He can't
Speaker 3: just let anyone in that feed all right in does
Speaker 3: anyone want free advertising? You just need to have clothing much.
Speaker 4: You already haven't made, like even a cap. Would I
Speaker 4: wear a cap?
Speaker 3: Yes? I would? I have the way It was a
Speaker 3: total question then to start the show. Don't worry, We're
Speaker 3: done at him. So they just need their business on
Speaker 3: a bit of clothing cap, T shirt, hoody, half fleece,
Speaker 3: half fleece.

Speaker 3: doing it, like walking that slankly twoth old dog or.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be walking down by the parks of Coburg.

Speaker 7: Botogo Christian O'Connell show podcast yesterday, the world lost a
Speaker 7: sadly another comedy legend Norm McDonald.
Speaker 3: Many of you won't know the name, but you might
Speaker 3: have seen yesterday just about every comedian or comic character
Speaker 3: all pouring out their amazing tributes to a really, really,
Speaker 3: really funny guy and a wildly original funny man as well.
Speaker 3: We were saying yesterday, how when David Letterman finally bowed
Speaker 3: out on his very very last chat show, he could
Speaker 3: have called anyone to do the last stand up performance
Speaker 3: on it, and he called his favorite comedian he depeted
Speaker 3: on there more times than any other stand up and
Speaker 3: that was Norm McDonald. It's an amazing last set. You
Speaker 3: can find it on YouTube. It's brilliant. The thing there
Speaker 3: was great about normc donald does He had this kind
Speaker 3: of stumbling, very laconic delivery where you almost didn't know
Speaker 3: where he was going. He never quite knew where he
Speaker 3: was going. And he could take something like a really
Speaker 3: old topic and then add something new to which is
Speaker 3: what a great comic does. They've got that unique comic vision.
Speaker 3: If you've never heard of him. There is a really
Speaker 3: funny Netflix stand up special I think it was twenty seventeen,
Speaker 3: Hitler's Dog is what it's called, which says a lot
Speaker 3: about the sort of mindset of Norm MacDonald. Here's a
Speaker 3: bit from it. You've heard people do stuff before about
Speaker 3: the war. It doesn't feel like a very relevant topic anymore.
Speaker 3: But when Norman does it, I don't know, he just
Speaker 3: adds some sort of different beat to it. This is
Speaker 3: Norm McDonald.
Speaker 11: There is one country that worries me, though that Iraq,
Speaker 11: not Iran, that North Korea. The only country that really
Speaker 11: worries me is the country of Germany. I don't know
Speaker 11: if you guys are history buffs or not, but in
Speaker 11: the early part of the previous century, Germany decided to
Speaker 11: go to war. And who did.
Speaker 3: They go to war with the world.
Speaker 11: I had never been tried before, and so you figured
Speaker 11: that I would take about five seconds.
Speaker 3: For the world to win.
Speaker 11: But no, it was actually close. Then about then, about
Speaker 11: thirty years past, and Germany decides again to go to war,
Speaker 11: and again it chooses as its enemy the world.
Speaker 3: And this time they have that guy.
Speaker 11: That guy, and I'm not even going to dignify him
Speaker 11: by saying his name, but I mean, you know I'm doing.
Speaker 11: But you'd think at that point the war will go. Listen, Germany,
Speaker 11: here's the deal. You're not going to be a country
Speaker 11: no more on accounty. You keep attacking the world.
Speaker 3: That's a great Norm McDonald. You can watch us still
Speaker 3: stand up special on Netflix, Hitless Dog and other tricky
Speaker 3: It is brilliant. Just go on as well. If you
Speaker 3: haven't got Netflix, go on YouTube and just type in
Speaker 3: Norm MacDonald chat show appearances. There's some great stuff there well.
Speaker 7: Christian o connell's show podcast.

Speaker 3: ball throwing competition. This is what would have passed his
Speaker 3: high end entertainment. How far can you not that cricket ball.

Speaker 3: break to get to a big city. Why Sonny keep
Speaker 3: throwing that bar? My name my land in the MCG.
Speaker 3: That's a Tennessee version of that story. And I just
Speaker 3: make click. Is he actually driven around Victoria? We don't
Speaker 3: speak like that. Wow, And let's just remind ourselves in
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy seven, this was a statewide thing, not some
Speaker 3: small scale things. This is so good we need to
Speaker 3: scour the state to find the next generation of cricket
Speaker 3: ball throwers. Anyway, was invited to the MCG as part
Speaker 3: of the Centenary Test lunchtime entertainment four Get Ready Guys
Speaker 3: the longest throw competition. I was the first and out
Speaker 3: of the ten had all made it to be called
Speaker 3: out by the MS, by the MCG at the mc
Speaker 3: Sorry at the mc at the MCG. Too many MC's.
Speaker 3: In front of eighty thousand people, I threw This is
Speaker 3: actually amazing for a seventeen year old kid, what an
Speaker 3: arm on him? I threw ninety seven meters. Wow.
Speaker 4: If you think of one hundred minute running track, throwing
Speaker 4: it from one end to the other.
Speaker 3: There's no way, there's no How far do you think
Speaker 3: you could throw a cricket ball?
Speaker 4: I don't reckon. I could get it from the boundary
Speaker 4: back into the start.
Speaker 3: Have you tried throwing something really far? It really hurts
Speaker 3: you up afterwards, there's a shake in it. What do
Speaker 3: you think you could get ten to twenty?
Speaker 4: You should ever throw in competition on the show?
Speaker 3: How far do you reckon? I reckon, Patsy, I reckon,
Speaker 3: you could really lob it.
Speaker 4: Nah, I'd go about a meter and again no, no,
Speaker 4: you're surprised, like really, we'd gone like a snow trip
Speaker 4: together and you knocked this out with a snow.
Speaker 3: If you yelled at Christ where we love God to
Speaker 3: run deep and you try to you take out your
Speaker 3: issues by trying to hit him on the head, I reckon,
Speaker 3: you clear ninety seven meters with that? Our friend him
Speaker 3: only came fourth.
Speaker 4: So who was the winner over one hundred meter?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: What a throw?
Speaker 3: Yeah amazing. I got to meet all the Aussie players
Speaker 3: and the remark was, what a buzz They need to
Speaker 3: bring back the cricket ball throw. When did the world
Speaker 3: say we don't need that anymore. It's not exciting enough. Russell.
Speaker 3: That is a great email, Thank you very much. Another
Speaker 3: mcg story. This one's titled Dad Broke My Heart. This
Speaker 3: is a hell of a story this one. This is
Speaker 3: from Karen Christian. I'm a lifelong Blue supporter CARLT supporter
Speaker 3: thanks to my dad's influence, and I think I may
Speaker 3: have missed my one and only chance of seeing them
Speaker 3: in a Grand Final. My dad actually had tickets to
Speaker 3: go to the nineteen seventy nine Grand Final. Well can't
Speaker 3: and beat Collinwood. The only thing better than winning a
Speaker 3: Grand Final ticket is one where you beat Collinwood. Dad
Speaker 3: was a union rep and was given tickets by his
Speaker 3: boss at the time as a bit of an incentive
Speaker 3: to overlook some safety issues on the job site he
Speaker 3: was working at.
Speaker 4: Is that our second day in a row of look
Speaker 4: the other way?
Speaker 3: This is amazing. He explained to me why he would
Speaker 3: and couldn't use the tickets, and whilst I kind of
Speaker 3: understood this, it still broke my heart that we wouldn't
Speaker 3: get to go to the Grand Final, and of course
Speaker 3: he can't win. Dad stuck the unused Grand Final tickets
Speaker 3: to his hard hat and wore them into work on
Speaker 3: the Monday to show the boss he could not be bribed.
Speaker 3: It's quite a statement, that, isn't it.
Speaker 4: But he's still he didn't use the ticket, he's too No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't get to watch it on TV together,
Speaker 3: so all was not lost, even though it was heartbroken, heartbroken.
Speaker 3: I'm very proud of my now late dad. That's how
Speaker 3: come from. Karen, Karen, thanks your ticket. Christian and I
Speaker 3: have a hidden treasure story. We were talking about this
Speaker 3: the other day, about what have you found. A few
Speaker 3: years ago my great uncle passed away. His wife had
Speaker 3: passed away five years beforehand. We were empty in the house,

Speaker 3: were ohso fashionable in the nineties. We had one about
Speaker 3: five years ago in England. Tell me, oh mate. When
Speaker 3: I was emptying the drop drawer, I found a few
Speaker 3: items and they fell down the back, so I went
Speaker 3: to retrieve them, removing the bottom drawer, and I found
Speaker 3: a load of other items around the back. Over an hour,
Speaker 3: I found loads of hidden jewelry, even a there was
Speaker 3: a hidden panel behind the wardrobe. Eventually we got it
Speaker 3: all valued. My loot was worth over twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 13: or four foot which huge inflatable sharks a remote control,
Speaker 13: which she delighted in frightening people when they came into
Speaker 13: the house. But the best thing is when she got
Speaker 13: it was flat and we had to go to Spotlight
Speaker 13: and get it.
Speaker 1: He filled up with helium.
Speaker 13: Yeah, was walking around Spotlight floating sharing people.
Speaker 3: And what's the remote control with then does it fly

Speaker 13: couldn't control.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tell you what, those helium balloons. I've had
Speaker 3: to go and do that spotlight for her kids' birthdays
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. You the ones they got the
Speaker 3: helium in them. They have a life of their own,
Speaker 3: is out there alive. They just want to go up
Speaker 3: in the sky and get a good view up there.
Speaker 3: It's not even just getting them in the car is
Speaker 3: a nightmare, isn't it.
Speaker 13: That was another story in itself. Yeah, trying to put
Speaker 13: this thing in the car. She's pushing it in one way,
Speaker 13: it was firing out the other.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, some cobbers with a drunken perk
Speaker 3: get them in the DIVV van. You know, they don't
Speaker 3: want to go in.
Speaker 4: And the ankle was all that trouble worth it was it,
Speaker 4: you know, everything you went through to scare your.
Speaker 13: Friends, because she delighted in scaring our friends and that
Speaker 13: kind with this stupid shark.
Speaker 4: But if I'm coming to your house and in the air,
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a real shark.
Speaker 3: I would punch it, you know. That mascot person jumped
Speaker 3: out me once for some cinematy. I just punched it.
Speaker 3: I told he was attacking. It was irritating if I
Speaker 3: went around that out and that came coming. I guess
Speaker 3: when's where's the shark? Can we just get a deal?
Speaker 3: I'd have a knife.
Speaker 13: Ready, doesn't know, but it has got a pin pick
Speaker 13: in it.

Speaker 9: I've got a metal detector, I've made my partner, my
Speaker 9: wife got a metal detector. We've got a mine lab
Speaker 9: eight hundred so we playing one hundred year old corn
Speaker 9: and gold and relics.
Speaker 3: That is incredible. So is that is that like the
Speaker 3: highlight of your plunder that you found? What else have
Speaker 3: you got?
Speaker 9: Ah, well, we've seen it on gold. We've had a
Speaker 9: lot of old mind sights.
Speaker 3: You go through.
Speaker 9: You have to buy a license for all this. So
Speaker 9: you can't just buy a metal detect and go out
Speaker 9: detecting and go to buy a license from the from
Speaker 9: the government and then.
Speaker 3: Any kind of excuse to get some money out of
Speaker 3: us with a permit. So what is the permit called?
Speaker 3: Is it called a license to what detect?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Just a miner's right, miner's right to metal detect.
Speaker 14: I think it's called yeah.
Speaker 4: And then do you have to declare the gold you
Speaker 4: found paid taxes?
Speaker 10: No check?
Speaker 3: I think you're meant to say yes again. You never
Speaker 3: know who's listening. No chance, didn't think about that. It's mine,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 14: You don't.
Speaker 10: You don't have to, you don't.
Speaker 9: You don't declare it not You just can't go into
Speaker 9: mind with someone owns her mind. They've got numbers on
Speaker 9: registration numbers, and you can't go into that.
Speaker 3: Last thing of people tore down some mind shaft boring
Speaker 3: into the ground and then she's just one round vide odds.
Speaker 3: You can't do that, guys.
Speaker 9: You can't even do that nowadays. It's just unsafe. You
Speaker 9: don't know what you're getting into. It's a lot of danger.
Speaker 9: With my daughter went head first into one. I pulled
Speaker 9: her out feet first because she just wanted to go.
Speaker 10: Into the mind.
Speaker 9: So it's signed you anymore.
Speaker 10: But it's just too danger like an anteme.
Speaker 3: Road run a cartoon disappear headfirst into a mine.
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, that's how how sick some of them sleeper
Speaker 9: are they are? So yeah, they go down found an
Speaker 9: old Chinese coins So it's about one hundred years old,
Speaker 9: just got the other pinning with hams.
Speaker 3: How exciting. That must be amazing? So what and do
Speaker 3: you go to a guy to get them value? Because
Speaker 3: how do you know it's one hundred years old?
Speaker 9: Well, because it's got the date on it.
Speaker 3: Those Chinese?
Speaker 4: How do you go?
Speaker 3: There's the answer, he said, this is really old.
Speaker 9: Some of the amazing some of the technology, the old guys.
Speaker 3: It's got the best before that on the Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: going must be redeemed the century. And tell me about
Speaker 3: the old Milo nine hundred, the mon.
Speaker 9: Lab eight hundred.
Speaker 10: So what of these?
Speaker 9: It does relics and it does gold as well, so
Speaker 9: you so mine lab does do a lot of detectors,
Speaker 9: so you can go to the mine mine lab a
Speaker 9: hundred monster, so that's a proper gold one. So it's
Speaker 9: not as easy because you've got to each piece of
Speaker 9: land you go to, you've got to balance it because
Speaker 9: of the interference. So there's so much all minerals in
Speaker 9: the Grande there out, so each place you go to
Speaker 9: you've got to balance it again. Then you start from
Speaker 9: scratch again because I do a lot of metal detecting
Speaker 9: in the beach as well as as well, so they're
Speaker 9: waterproof up to certain right, so gold's got a different numbers.
Speaker 3: They go down the beach every day walking up. I've
Speaker 3: never seen a dude just wondering with a metal detector.
Speaker 3: He's found a shit, right.
Speaker 9: Well, then they're down at Eastern I found a couple
Speaker 9: of old coins down yeah Geelong, Yeah, Eastern Booch because
Speaker 9: you go where where all the history years so wins

Speaker 9: you can get ones we go deeper and they distinguished,
Speaker 9: They tell you everything virtually. Mine was just the beginner's one.
Speaker 9: So there's a beginnings one of mind Lab six hundred.
Speaker 9: Go go find that was the beginner's one. So if
Speaker 9: you like it, go and bought something like that first
Speaker 9: thing gradually go wow idea.
Speaker 3: I'd love the idea of borrowing one for a weekend,

Speaker 12: a ting grain that was.
Speaker 4: Imagine all the mind Labs six hundred you can buy
Speaker 4: with that?
Speaker 3: And do they use sonar? Is that what the money
Speaker 3: is where it sort of literally goes into the ground
Speaker 3: and lets you know what's there and how far down
Speaker 3: is Yeah?
Speaker 9: What depends on the on the coils where as well,
Speaker 9: So different coills give you different links, gives you a
Speaker 9: bit of readings, but there's a lot of interference from
Speaker 9: the overhead paralligans as well. That's why he got balanced
Speaker 9: and you know with sand throws it out as well.

Speaker 10: You people out there, you.
Speaker 4: Won't find any car bondarms with that old piece.
Speaker 3: Of old Chinese chariot. All right, Richard, thank you very
Speaker 3: much and cool, all right, thank you well.
Speaker 7: Christian Connell's show podcast.
Speaker 3: I've been asked to come up with some ideas for
Speaker 3: this great city and Victoria, and I think that we
Speaker 3: should involve you on that search for the next big
Speaker 3: thing of the next couple of years as we head
Speaker 3: towards apparently becoming the Australia's biggest city, which would be amazing.
Speaker 3: Jackie boy, what's going going on with you?
Speaker 4: I'm feeling a bit sheepish today, actually, because how's this? Yesterday?
Speaker 4: I took Luna to the oval near our house. And
Speaker 4: you know, Luna's a border Collie. They love fetching, so
Speaker 4: usually if I don't bring a ball, she'll get a stick,
Speaker 4: bit of tam bake, anything you've fed with. So at
Speaker 4: the oval and she finds this discarded sandal, and which
Speaker 4: an odd thing for somebody to leave behind, but I thought,
Speaker 4: all right, if it's just one sandal, no one's going
Speaker 4: to really miss it. You can play with it. So
Speaker 4: I'm chucking this sandal back and forth to her walking
Speaker 4: around the oval. I get down to the other end
Speaker 4: and there's this guy in a full soccer kit and
Speaker 4: he's taken himself through his own workout and he's got
Speaker 4: like you know how people run through cones and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh why, he's got those little mini cones.
Speaker 4: But he's improvised with his own stuff. So he's got
Speaker 4: his jump out, his hat out, and he's left sandal out.
Speaker 3: You found the owner.
Speaker 4: I realized what he was doing was he was running
Speaker 4: back and forth between the left sandal at one end
Speaker 4: and the right sand.
Speaker 3: He's getting a really good workout.
Speaker 4: But now his other cone is in Luna's mouth. She's
Speaker 4: slobbering all over it. I've been using it as a frisbee.
Speaker 3: And obviously because she's been chewing it, it's probably like
Speaker 3: knaka now because she's.
Speaker 4: Just like grabbing it in her mouth. He hasn't, Luckily,
Speaker 4: he's doing like push ups and burpies and sprints. He
Speaker 4: hasn't seen us as we walk past him. I tried
Speaker 4: to hurry her back down the other end of the
Speaker 4: oval and get the sandal back to where he had
Speaker 4: it before, put her.
Speaker 3: All the way. She wasn't even gonna say anything.
Speaker 4: I've tried to get away with it because there's a
Speaker 4: possibility he hasn't seen me using it as a frisbee
Speaker 4: and that it's.
Speaker 3: So he's just suddenly going to run out and go,
Speaker 3: what the heck? Soone savage that with dog slabber.
Speaker 4: Well, what I was hoping you'd think is that when
Speaker 4: he got there and it was a bit damp, that
Speaker 4: it was the moisture of the grass and it was
Speaker 4: a bit of a dewy day.
Speaker 3: Really aggressive glass that's chewed up, showed out with teeth, barks. God,
Speaker 3: what kind of turf there use around here at the oval?
Speaker 4: Well, I'll never know what he thought of it, because
Speaker 4: we made a quick exit. The trick is in that situation,
Speaker 4: don't look behind you, pick a point on the horizon
Speaker 4: and go towards it.
Speaker 3: So what did he's sunny? This?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 3: This ring and gravel turned up as a dog's looking
Speaker 3: out the window, go like that sandal.
Speaker 2: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 3: Sometimes in this job you're asked to do. I had
Speaker 3: a quote for something and had an email yesterday from
Speaker 3: our head of public relations for this radio station, our show, Robin.
Speaker 3: And the question that she's asking me has come from
Speaker 3: The Herald Sun, and I thought i'd get your take
Speaker 3: on this. Good morning, Christian. I hope you very well,
Speaker 3: I am, Robin, thanks for asking. The Held's Sun is
Speaker 3: putting together series around the theme Future Victoria. It will
Speaker 3: look at the ideas, projects or needs the city should
Speaker 3: address as its population begins to grow again in the
Speaker 3: next five years, Melbourne will be Australia's biggest city. As
Speaker 3: part of the series, they are reaching out to high
Speaker 3: profile Victorians good morning and leaders don't think they meant
Speaker 3: me to ask them to provide a one hundred word answer.
Speaker 3: All right, be quick. Then she wants to save the city.
Speaker 4: The future of Melbourne. To make it quick.
Speaker 3: You know what is this a tipebreak to win something,
Speaker 3: a years of live bow buns. A one hundred odd
Speaker 3: word answer to the following question, what's your changing idea
Speaker 3: for Melbourne and Victoria? They are after a specific project, event,
Speaker 3: initiative or idea that will change Melbourne or Victoria for
Speaker 3: the better over the next five years. When Melbourne comes
Speaker 3: biggest city in Australia. Now the idea needs to be
Speaker 3: as specific as possible. For example, now, normally when I
Speaker 3: get one of these emails, they chuck in it. For example,
Speaker 3: that is so average. You look at that and go, ah, right, well,
Speaker 3: I can at least do that this. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't think I can do any of this.
Speaker 4: So is this the Herald Sun's example or is this
Speaker 4: Robin's example.
Speaker 3: Harold Sun's for example, something like establish a hydrogen research plant.
Speaker 3: You guys know, I'm always touched on this show about
Speaker 3: my idea for a particle accelerator for the city. You know,
Speaker 3: I keep saying, use that wheel that we're not going
Speaker 3: to use any more the Star. Put it on the
Speaker 3: side and spin them atoms.
Speaker 4: When people are looking at Australia to come from overseas,
Speaker 4: they're like Sidney or Melbourne. Well, Melbourn's got the had
Speaker 4: drunk clade. We can't miss that, have to go.
Speaker 3: You know, that's not even about this.
Speaker 4: It's the bridge, forget about that.
Speaker 3: It's got a hydrogen research facility that's got a kick
Speaker 3: ass gift shop. All right. So my deadline is midday
Speaker 3: tomorrow high noon to save the city. The clock is ticking,
Speaker 3: which is one I thought i'd bring you guys in.
Speaker 3: You live here, it's your city, genuinely. If you've got
Speaker 3: any ideas, whatever they are, I'm looking for ideas that
Speaker 3: we can put in the Herald Sun. I'll say who
Speaker 3: they're from. I've only got one hundred words to keep
Speaker 3: it snappy. But for the future of this city, it's
Speaker 3: actually quite interesting. So yester and evening I was starting
Speaker 3: to think about early ideas. Yep, okay, so these are
Speaker 3: just top.
Speaker 4: Line idea definitely, because think we just lost the Melbourne
Speaker 4: Star as well, so we're in an attraction down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also we aren't anymore because of the lockdowns
Speaker 3: we've been subjected to. We used to be the most
Speaker 3: libipool city in the world. I came in because of this.
Speaker 3: Now it's Vienna, so to restore civic pride. Number one
Speaker 3: idea this city loves dogs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's pretty universal.
Speaker 3: This city loves dogs. Australia's biggest dog festival. I've got
Speaker 3: a title. It's at the MCG mcg. That's a cute dog. Wow.
Speaker 3: These are just early ideas.
Speaker 4: You know, you've had an idea for a dog festival
Speaker 4: before that had a better name, was it dog Taberfest.
Speaker 3: This is why I said these are early ideas. The
Speaker 3: other one is you have been to an amusement park
Speaker 3: and you're getting the old log ride, the log flu Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've been to the disneylandge Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. What about having a giant one here that
Speaker 3: is a public transport system? Yes, what a great We've
Speaker 3: got the Yarrow, We've got the water you funnel that
Speaker 3: around Sally Cap shout out to SCHELLI Cap. You need
Speaker 3: to get a team on this. They've got the brawn
Speaker 3: equipment of that big old tunnel where they would build
Speaker 3: a giant, mega city wide Victoria White. So you're out
Speaker 3: in Ballarat, you want to come into a big smoke.
Speaker 3: You're getting your family, getting your log and you might
Speaker 3: take a while and you make your way that thing
Speaker 3: that goes and it stops you. And what just a
Speaker 3: great way to get into the CBD for commuters. You
Speaker 3: can go other roads or the train or the tram
Speaker 3: or the log flu Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then if you come in from Sydney you gop
Speaker 4: mempuller yeah, and then speed up there Melbourn.
Speaker 3: Suddenly you're in the CBD. Who wouldn't want to arrive
Speaker 3: at work having got there? You just snap out their
Speaker 3: house onto a spare log flume with a couple of
Speaker 3: other people. Morning day, Morning Barry, you get the back
Speaker 3: of the log flom and you make your way into work. Okay.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've ever been on one of
Speaker 4: those things, but they're extremely slow getting from Bellarut to Melbourne.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't take four get up earlier.
Speaker 3: Listen to the show at six am when we start
Speaker 3: and the other thing. And I think this could be
Speaker 3: the kicker this city needs, the biggest giant thing Australia
Speaker 3: has Australia's famous having these giant things. We love our
Speaker 3: big thing and we did the road tip at Easter time.
Speaker 3: We went to Adelaide. We saw the old Quana, we
Speaker 3: saw the lobster. We need some cheap ho giant. We
Speaker 3: need to find out what it's the tallest one in
Speaker 3: Australia and inch it needs to be Australia's biggest fiberglass
Speaker 3: whatever it is. I don't know what the animal or
Speaker 3: early idea is a chicken, palm or an avocado. You
Speaker 3: guys love a palm, you love the avocado.
Speaker 4: So I'm just scrolling through the big things. We got
Speaker 4: a lot of big things, so I'm sifting here. But
Speaker 4: the two biggest I can see big Pineapple and GIMPI
Speaker 4: sixteen meters pretty tall. But the big Marino. I don't
Speaker 4: know if you've been up the Hume Highway on your
Speaker 4: way to Sydney, but it's a big giant ram. He's
Speaker 4: eighteen meters tall. We need to have this at least
Speaker 4: twenty then twenty meters.
Speaker 3: But what is it? Okay, this is when we need
Speaker 3: your help, So give us a call if you've got
Speaker 3: any ideas whatsoever. Nine four one four one oh four
Speaker 3: to three. What does this city and Victoria need or
Speaker 3: if you just got an idea for a giant fiberglass?
Speaker 3: What too many? It doesn't even have to be linked
Speaker 3: to the city, really is it? Because some of them
Speaker 3: are quite random.
Speaker 4: They're so random and I'm looking at it. New South
Speaker 4: Wales has got so many big things. What do they
Speaker 4: got big potato, big prawn, biggest sun?
Speaker 3: About a giant spots?
Speaker 4: It's ten long.
Speaker 7: You're listening to the Christian O Carl's Show podcast.
Speaker 3: So the Herald Son have asked me to contribute. They
Speaker 3: won one hundred words to the following question, what is
Speaker 3: your game changing idea for Melbourne and Victoria over the
Speaker 3: next five years? Have we become Australia's biggest city? Can
Speaker 3: be anything? Thank you very much for taking part in
Speaker 3: this future Victoria, Melbourne, Thank you Justin And where Abe?
Speaker 3: What about a giant Shane warn? Is he sack cross
Speaker 3: legged like a Buddha.
Speaker 4: I'm like the giant giant warning giant warning.
Speaker 3: People will come from all over the world. They're the
Speaker 3: voto secing with the giant way sat cross legged.
Speaker 4: I think like a Buddha, he should live in there
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 3: In the eyes. So when the lights go out at
Speaker 3: night time for warning, denies go out justin. That's a
Speaker 3: great one. What about giant cup of coffee?
Speaker 4: No, it's just really it's just a big cylinder, the
Speaker 4: big sharing football.
Speaker 3: Yes, that is a great idea. What about the giant lartie?
Speaker 3: All right, let's take some of your calls.
Speaker 4: Right, I've found the biggest thing. By the way, what
Speaker 4: is not the ram? There's a big funnel web spider
Speaker 4: in Queensland. Oh sorry, New South Wales near Wollongong. That's
Speaker 4: nineteen meters tall, twenty two meters wide.
Speaker 3: Wow, well it's got to be at least twenty minutes high.
Speaker 3: We have a giant something, Jason.
Speaker 15: Gooday guys, Hey, well, if we're going to go twenty
Speaker 15: let's go twenty one. Let's make it a big middle
Speaker 15: finger directed at New South Wales.
Speaker 3: Don's out there now, positioning it towards Gladys.
Speaker 4: And it just started as a fist like a wench.
Speaker 3: Jason, I don't need a hundred words, we just need
Speaker 3: a picture of this mechanical thing that gets flipped. Does
Speaker 3: he get flipped every day at midday on the strike
Speaker 3: of twelve? No?
Speaker 15: Not why midday eleven o'clock.
Speaker 5: That's the time, Slott.

Speaker 6: as well. But he was he got executed in the
Speaker 6: old Melbourne jail and everyone around the world.
Speaker 4: Ned Kelly, Yeah, a couple of things. Yeah, he wasn't
Speaker 4: the ruler.
Speaker 3: And we've already got what scored. Did Pat go to
Speaker 3: this guy's to rule this place? He did a great job. Seriously,
Speaker 3: stuff got done or he got really pissed. You want
Speaker 3: to hanger Ned.

Speaker 3: live on.
Speaker 4: We're wondering what was going to happen to it?
