0:02:19.205 --> 0:02:20.245
<v Speaker 1>Remember talking about on the show.

0:02:20.245 --> 0:02:21.565
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize it was four years ago, but I

0:02:21.605 --> 0:02:24.285
<v Speaker 2>think it was pre COVID debt. It was it had

0:02:24.325 --> 0:02:26.685
<v Speaker 2>gone under. I think they were going to pull it down, yes,

0:02:27.285 --> 0:02:29.685
<v Speaker 2>but it's just been up there doing nothing for four

0:02:29.765 --> 0:02:33.085
<v Speaker 2>years and now someone has injected millions into it.

0:02:33.165 --> 0:02:36.525
<v Speaker 1>Yep. And then the plans are to modernize it. Yes,

0:02:36.765 --> 0:02:37.645
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean?

0:02:37.925 --> 0:02:38.445
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:02:38.525 --> 0:02:40.245
<v Speaker 1>Well, they can put a Mecca in there.

0:02:41.445 --> 0:02:44.565
<v Speaker 2>That's the way to drive more people at Mecca of

0:02:44.565 --> 0:02:46.365
<v Speaker 2>the weekend than the d scheme day.

0:02:46.685 --> 0:02:50.845
<v Speaker 1>These game the whole third level was empty. They're like Mecca.

0:02:50.965 --> 0:02:55.325
<v Speaker 2>Those des aren't they having a facial They're.

0:02:54.845 --> 0:02:57.645
<v Speaker 3>Like updating me in the pods, you know, like maybe

0:02:57.725 --> 0:03:00.445
<v Speaker 3>new seating and stuff. But I'm looking forward to it.

0:03:00.445 --> 0:03:02.325
<v Speaker 3>The wheel was great. I don't know if you've been

0:03:02.365 --> 0:03:03.685
<v Speaker 3>on it, but no, no.

0:03:04.045 --> 0:03:07.125
<v Speaker 2>Not trusted that Scooby Doo thing. It's hardly hasn't spinning

0:03:07.245 --> 0:03:08.085
<v Speaker 2>like four years.

0:03:08.605 --> 0:03:09.605
<v Speaker 1>It's a desperate garner.

0:03:10.085 --> 0:03:13.044
<v Speaker 2>Really, yea Melbourne we'd see and go, oh we really

0:03:13.085 --> 0:03:14.485
<v Speaker 2>want to go on them close.

0:03:15.885 --> 0:03:17.165
<v Speaker 1>It's a strange location.

0:03:17.565 --> 0:03:21.845
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh so Dockland's nice, but then you've

0:03:21.845 --> 0:03:24.965
<v Speaker 2>got all that industrial sort of rooftops, so you're mainly

0:03:25.005 --> 0:03:27.605
<v Speaker 2>seeing one of the worst bits of Melbourne. While then

0:03:27.605 --> 0:03:29.405
<v Speaker 2>you is pick it up and move it near the

0:03:29.525 --> 0:03:31.605
<v Speaker 2>mcg and overlooking the Sports precinct.

0:03:31.645 --> 0:03:34.525
<v Speaker 1>Oh that would be amazing that bit there it ain't

0:03:34.525 --> 0:03:35.165
<v Speaker 1>a great view.

0:03:35.485 --> 0:03:38.045
<v Speaker 2>Just I always warned people when you fly into Melbourne,

0:03:38.045 --> 0:03:40.645
<v Speaker 2>listen and you're coming in to Melbourne, you got that

0:03:40.725 --> 0:03:44.685
<v Speaker 2>drive in. Don't judge Melbourne on that drive into Melbourne

0:03:44.725 --> 0:03:48.205
<v Speaker 2>from the airport, because it's an ugly looking city from

0:03:48.245 --> 0:03:50.765
<v Speaker 2>that that view of it. It is you in Detroit

0:03:50.965 --> 0:03:54.285
<v Speaker 2>and the airport isn't great as well, that airport, it

0:03:54.405 --> 0:03:55.005
<v Speaker 2>really isn't.
