1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: A lot of emails semesters came in after the historic

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: Saturday Night and the amazing scenes from the Matildas in

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: a really you know what, I think probably one of

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: the most dramatic sporting moments of my life. Right, and

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: I've seen Sady what Aid too many penalty shootouts. They've

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: never gone England's way. It's like it's done. Do you

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: remember we were on there a couple of years ago

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: and England Croatia. I had another hour of the show

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: to do and I was just broken by yet another

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: penalty shoot out, breaking hearts and so the moment it's

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: like PTSD for me, not another penalty shoots out. Oh God,

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: these poor Matilda's that they've realized how heartbreaking it is

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: that suddenly heroes are made and heroes are broken. But

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: they I think it was Courtney Vine who obviously took

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: the last one, which I can't even imagine. You get

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: your body to work under all that pressure. I can't

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: imagine just running up how you'd have that without your

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: body just stopping going. This is too much. There's Millier's

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: mill and you hold all that together and you find

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: some inner stillness and you just go and slot it

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: and you do it all. Afterwards, she was saying, now,

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: she'd always felt like an outside and got imposter syndrome,

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: and she felt like she said, she just stepped up,

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: and it always brought me to tears. You know in

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: life when sometimes you don't meet the moment for various momentes,

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: you just can't in that moment. But she did. And

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: she didn't play for the game before that, she was

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: benched and then brought on. It was just like she

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: knowing her and Mackenzie you know who we didn't even

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: know really last week. Now I feel like we're really

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: getting to know these women, really involved in all their stories.

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: Like Mary Fowler, I know she's got an Irish dad

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: and her mum's from Papua New Guinea and they met

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: in Papua New Guinea. I've been really heavily involved in

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: their story over the last couple of weeks that we've

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: been getting behind them on the goal Ofthon. And obviously

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: the big thing that people have been asking me is

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: the number one question is like, well, what are you

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: going to do? Oh yeah, what are you going to do? Yesterday?

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: I put something up on Instagram. All you want to

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: hear about was, yeah, what are you going to do

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: come Wednesday night? Bomby And it's a watershed moment for

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: me and my family actually five years of living here.

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: And the honors answer is on Saturday night when you

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: went through. And then mimer Makes we watched the England

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: game the Lionesses and they went through and I was like,

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: I don't believe this. I was secretly cheering on Columbia

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't have to have this time to make

50
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Sophie's choice. Suddenly all my new Australian friends are going, well,

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: we're going to test how Australia are you got the passport,

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: you got your citizenship? Are you going to be cheering

53
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: on the Matildas on Wednesday night? And the honest answer

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: is I will be cheering on the Matildas. I don't.

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: I don't have If it was the Men's World Cup,

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: I've got history watching so many miserable games and penalty

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: shootouts with the men's England football team over the years.

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: I don't have that. With the Lioness's. I feel like

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't know any of the names. It's because I've

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: been living here now for five years, and over the

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: last couple of years as a Matilda's sort of risen,

62
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: I feel like I've got to know some of them,

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: and Sam Kerr and Mary Founder all playing in UM

64
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: and so over the last couple of weeks, since Caitlin's

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: been bringing it close and closer to her heart's on

66
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: this show, I feel they've won my heart over and

67
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: I think I speak for a lot of Australians. You've

68
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: probably never really got soccer and then find themselves watching

69
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: a soccer game on Saturday night, glued to it the

70
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: penalty shooter and now feel like you'll rearrange plans Wednesday night.

71
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: The Boomers have got to rearrange that. The men's baseball

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: basketball are rearranging their plans for Wednesday night. This is

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: a moment in history.

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we're so invested in the Matildas now, we

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: started barracking for them before the World Cup even started

76
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: here in Australia. I'm struggling, honestly to think of a

77
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: sporting moment in my lifetime that was more enjoyable than

78
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: watching that courtyin Penulty even Essenon in the two thousand

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: Grand Final. I think because we went through the whole

80
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: season as the best team. We were expected to win

81
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: the Grand finals, so it's more of a relief whereas

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: Saturday night. God, it was something magical. And the length

83
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: of that penalty shootout and the tension that built with

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: every youngest.

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: One in football history for both World Cups Man and

86
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: women's game, it was aconic.

87
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: You talk about Courtney Vine stepping up to that penalty,

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: to that spot kick, She's been through that fifteen minutes

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: of tension building as well. She's watched all ten of

90
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: her teammates take a kick yes before her, of course.

91
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

92
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: It's just there was no moment like the relief, the

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: joy the I was after attention.

94
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: I think it's because it was so emotional because of

95
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: the tension beforehand. Fifteen minutes of agony, absolute agony. I mean,

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: McKenzie Arnold really is a hero. Shed three four, Yeah,

97
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: she saved four. She saved four of them. They had

98
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: to retake one and she saved it again. Then glad

99
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: that the ref. She glared the ref going, I dare

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: you make me do it again? I'll do the same thing.

101
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: I don't know how she did that. She was brilliant.

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: It was incredible and again you get involved in their stories.

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: She was talking after the game. She's been to two

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: World Cups and the Olympics as the third choice. Thought,

105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: this is this is just my destiny. I'm always going

106
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: to be the third choice. And then the last years

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: start to get some games and then suddenly now everyone

108
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: knows her name. She's like here. I saw memes yesterday

109
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: of brick walls, people saying this is a mural souls

110
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: made to game's emailer. It was a brick wall. So yeah,

111
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: I've been chearing on matildas on wednesdaight account Wait, but

112
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: we'd really loved him. Hear from you this morning? You

113
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: were watching the games, or maybe you'd start to watch

114
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: it on your phones and you were somewhere else. What

115
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: did it mean to you? It is gonna be one

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: of those iconic moments where in years to come, everyone's

117
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: going to ask you, where were you? Where were you

118
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: during that penalty shootout where it worked? Like the guy

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: who was cleaning a gym who suddenly starts doing less

120
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: cleaning and watching more of it on the screen. Where

121
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: were you Saturday night? And what does it mean to you?

122
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 2: Carl and Brighter?

123
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Now you're listening to the Question o Carl Show podcast.

124
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: I love what Tony Gustavson the most casually dressed manager

125
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: in the whole Women's World Cup. He looks like a

126
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: guy's just taking his dog down the walk at the

127
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: walk down the dog park, you know, and he just

128
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: happened to see a World Cup game. What's going on

129
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: all right? So we want to hear from your stories today.

130
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: What did Saturday Night's historic moment mean for you? And

131
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: where were you? Christian? My husband and I were our

132
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: regular rock and roll dance on saturdaynight. When it came

133
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: to the shootouts, it basically stopped the dance until the

134
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: end of the shootouts. It was an electric atmosphere. I've

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: not been that stressed and excited since the Doggies won

136
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: the Grand Final in two thy sixteen. Pat Oliver Christian,

137
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: it meant so much for me saturdayight on the Oval.

138
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: This is from Michelle Power Christian on the Oval. At

139
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: high school, I was told I wouldn't I wasn't allowed

140
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: to play soccer, so they made me do typing class instead.

141
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: I've watched the girls over the last couple of weeks.

142
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: I refuted that every lesson I didn't want to do

143
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: typing class. I wanted Bay soccer. In the end, I

144
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: was suspended from school because of my behavior. Go the Matildas.

145
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: They are changing history for young football fans all over Australia. Michelle,

146
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: that is a lovely email. Thank you for Santa I.

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: Bet, I mean no surprise if the uptake of soccer

148
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: around Australia junior level spikes immensely after this.

149
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Maka, you played soccer as a kid, didn't you.

150
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

151
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 5: So, I started when I was about nine, and then

152
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 5: I played with the boys for a couple of year,

153
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: but then unfortunately, when we got into our teams, we

154
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 5: weren't allowed to play with the men or the boys anymore.

155
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: So that's not that long ago.

156
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: No, No, So I'm thirty one, so that would have

157
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 5: been yet twenty years ago. And then I took two

158
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 5: years off and came back because we were able to

159
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: manage to make a women's team and so I played

160
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 5: from I think it was under fourteens through until the

161
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: Open women's and it was awesome.

162
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: And Russo's dad coached your team at one point. Yeah,

163
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: so he was there. We've just seen a photo that

164
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: Caitlyn showed Jack and I and John Russo is it.

165
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, so he was our coach for a couple of years,

166
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 5: and then when his daughter was old enough, she joined

167
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: our team because she was two years younger than me. So, yeah,

168
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: we've played together and it was awesome.

169
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: Was she very good then?

170
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: She was awesome?

171
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: She was, without a doubt, the best player. We had

172
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: a couple of other girls that were really, really brilliant,

173
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: and you know, if soccer was an option back then,

174
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 5: they would have pursued it and they would have been amazing.

175
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: So I can only imagine now what young girls that

176
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: have potential will have prospects to look forward to, an.

177
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Actually possibility now where there wasn't any not that long ago.

178
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: You were just reading about Mackenzie Arnold, the keeper that

179
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: everyone's talking about.

180
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: We can't get enough of watching the replays of her

181
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: saving those goals. She didn't even want to be a goalkeeper,

182
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: she said. When she was younger, she was trying out

183
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: for the team as a defender. The coach said, no,

184
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: you're not going to make it. Maybe you can feel

185
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: in his goalie. She said absolutely not. And then the

186
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: coach came back the next year and said, will you

187
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 3: feel in his goalie? And she filled in his goalie

188
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: then and she became the goalkeeper.

189
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: Wow, this is some Jesse, Christian. I was also at

190
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: the MCG Sat night. People were crowded around my phone

191
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: because they couldn't get on seven plus. It was too

192
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: busy there. The big screen stopped coverage after regulation time,

193
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: so we were left to our own devices, literally, but

194
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: the crowd noise when the Matilda's one was absolutely insane.

195
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: It was actually like we were there watching the penalty

196
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,479
Speaker 2: shootout rather the MCG watching the D's and the Blues Felicity.

197
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 6: Good morning, Good morning, Christian and gang.

198
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: So where were you when history was made? Saturday night?

199
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,479
Speaker 4: What's going on Saturday Night? I was at a sixtieth birthday.

200
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: I walked in and everybody was sitting around the TV.

201
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: In the moment, I was like, Okay, what are they watching?

202
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 4: There's going to be a boring party, And then I

203
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: realized it was the Matildas. I didn't know anything really

204
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: about soccer. It started getting to explain to me. My

205
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: tension levels went so high watching that shootout and I

206
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 4: didn't even really know about soccer.

207
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: So you're going to be are you now Matilda's fan?

208
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: You're going to be supporting them doing your beds Wednesday night.

209
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Will and I will learn a lot more

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 4: about it. So you know, it was a really good night.

211
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: And then of course the party was much better afterwards.

212
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a celebration party, a two celebrations, a sixtieth

213
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: and the Matilda's that's it.

214
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 4: No, it was a really good night, so well done, Matilda's.

215
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much for see Jeff. You

Speaker 6: My partner and my daughter? Give you a very quickly.

220
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 6: I'll get about one sporting game of work.

221
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: So.

222
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: Allocation.

223
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

224
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 6: So my partner hates absolute sport and I was doing

225
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 6: the cooking, and first of all, we're watching it, and

226
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 6: that goal that we nearly scored that I missed. But

227
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: I was checking on dinner and I hear this expleted

228
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 6: come out of the bedroom and I went, oh, what's

229
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 6: going on? So you know we nearly scored. Oh Jesus Christ,

230
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 6: I said, you're getting in on it. He said yeah, anyway,

231
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 6: But during the penalty shootout, I couldn't actually watch to

232
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 6: the point where I had to put my head under

233
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 6: the dinner. It was just too I couldn't I know

234
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 6: what you mean, because we had so many chances, and

235
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, no, are we going to save

236
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 6: another one? Are they going to get it? Are we

237
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 6: going to miss? And then when they won, I yelled

238
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 6: and I didn't even get told off.

239
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Bai barely watched it. It was just

240
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: it was too much.

241
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: I kept pacing in and out of them in between.

242
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: The Yeah, I wonder how many other people were doing that,

243
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: watching it all, just going behind the coloor and going

244

248
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: to say, I was doing a little working and relying

249
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: on the customers phone to watch what was going on.

250
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: And when he got to the shootouts, I was honestly

251
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: spending very little time working.

252
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: And when they final bread, hang on watching. They can wait.

253
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: They can wait for the garlic bread. That's super important stuff.

254
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: And you're going to be watching it. You've got daughters

257
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: scored the final goal, I yelled out at the top

258
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: of my lungs, the iconic sentence, that's what I'm that's

259
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. And the whole restaurant turned around

260
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: to me, of course. And and then when I got home,

261
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,840

00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: Gina. How was it for you? Then Saturday night? Where

276
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: were you watching it.

277
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 7: We my husband and I started watching it at Fad Square.

278
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 7: We booked a table at the pub and were there

279
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 7: with everyone else, but had tickets to see two twenty

280
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 7: two The Ghost Story play at seven point thirty, of course,

281
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 7: so we ran from fed Square to the theater, thinking, yeah,

282
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 7: that was they'll delay the show. They'll delay the show,

283
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 7: no worries, and they didn't because the US was telling

284
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 7: everyone to put their phones away, we need to start

285
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 7: the show. So we put the brightness down on the phone,

286
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 7: put it under our scarf and watched the penalty shootout

287
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 7: during the show, and when we won, we did a

288
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 7: very quickly all feel as if we were scared at

289
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 7: what we were watching on stage, which wasn't as scary

290
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 7: as watching what we were watching with the penalty shootout.

291
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 7: It was phenomenal, but there was no way we were

292
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 7: going to miss it.

293
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: No great story. Thanks Gen, you enjoy the game. Wednesday night.

294
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast
