Speaker 7: I love the extra sleep and it was nice. We
Speaker 7: went to Cleveland Estate, which is in the Masiden Ranges
Speaker 7: of Victoria.
Speaker 1: Beauty, beautiful world.
Speaker 6: So nice.
Speaker 7: There's so many lovely little hamlet towns that you can visit.
Speaker 2: It was really great time of year. The colors are
Speaker 2: all different. In the autumn, it looks even more spectacul Yeah.
Speaker 7: It's very, very pretty. But I did a bad thing.
Speaker 7: I did a bad thing. On the way back from
Speaker 7: dinner on Saturday night, the other the family had stayed behind.
Speaker 7: I said, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go to bed.
Speaker 6: I'm rather tired.
Speaker 7: So I went up to the room and thinking it
Speaker 7: was Room twenty eight, which was our room, but it
Speaker 7: actually wasn't.
Speaker 6: So I put the key. It was actually number twenty se.
Speaker 1: See that kind of time.
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I wanted to go just some meantime. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: going to bed, I'm tired. Or did they say why
Speaker 1: don't you go and have a lowdown mumsy's day? Drinking
Speaker 1: isn't for everyone.
Speaker 7: Funnily enough, the key actually went into the lock and turned,
Speaker 7: and I thought, oh this. I didn't realize it wasn't
Speaker 7: our room. Clearly it was twenty six and not twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 7: I went in and quickly realized, very quickly realized, oh,
Speaker 7: this ain't our room. There was a couple sitting on
Speaker 7: the bed in their pajamas watching Netflix, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 7: and he goes, oh seas in.
Speaker 8: My Christians relatives?
Speaker 1: Did you have in there? Dick van Dyke? Good Poppins,
Speaker 1: So you'd walked into a different time and country. It
Speaker 1: was a chimney swe You really were tied.
Speaker 7: To the Mary Poppins, And I thought, oh my. I said, oh,
Speaker 7: I'm terribly sorry, and he said, oh, that's all right.
Speaker 7: I don't think i'd lock the door again.
Speaker 2: The accent is actually hard to know whether it's someone
Speaker 2: with low intelligence or their English or both. I don't
Speaker 2: understand because I'm not casually racist, but ah.
Speaker 6: It was awful.
Speaker 7: I got into the wrong room. Thankfully they were just
Speaker 7: in their armies just watching.
Speaker 1: Imagine half an hour la that are in bed, long
Speaker 1: weekend away from the kids.
Speaker 6: Imagine turns up.
Speaker 8: Oh no, what's this.
Speaker 1: Surprise that strange accent be determined? Where are they from?
Speaker 6: Ever done it before? Never want to do it again.
Speaker 6: Going into the wrong hotel room not ideal.
Speaker 2: I once years ago when it was like swipe cards,
Speaker 2: when you actually had a key for a hotel room,
Speaker 2: an actual a key they would give you like with
Speaker 2: a big wooden kind of like waight to it and
Speaker 2: actually just getting into wrong when I was tired, tired
Speaker 2: as before we had kids, and it was completely wrong
Speaker 2: floor and room number. I think it was two one
Speaker 2: five I was trying to get into not five to
Speaker 2: one two, it's about three floors difference, and just snapped
Speaker 2: the key because I just kept going.
Speaker 1: It's not opening. Just snapped the key off the lot.
Speaker 2: So only could I not get into the wrong room.
Speaker 2: The people that were trying to get in fact, they
Speaker 2: couldn't get into either.
Speaker 1: Everyone just loved me.
Speaker 5: The Christian O'Connell show podcast, How is.
Speaker 1: Your long Weekend? Tell us all about it? Three word
Speaker 1: long weekend? I think everyone it was going to be
Speaker 1: a very special Big Freeze game, first one after Neil
Speaker 1: Danaher dying two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: I thought it was incredible day essay. I think they
Speaker 2: all did such an amazing job. Neil Danaher, what an
Speaker 2: inspiration as an Australian. And you know his charity fight
Speaker 2: MND raised over one hundred and twenty million dollars. Wow, right,
Speaker 2: since you got diagnosed twelve years ago. Just an example
Speaker 2: of how to live a life with service. An incredible
Speaker 2: story Neil done now and his family as well if
Speaker 2: you saw it yesterday in the what his daughter Beck
Speaker 2: has been doing as well with Neil over the years
Speaker 2: and it's still doing now. And then to see the
Speaker 2: Big Freeze yesterday, the weather was beautiful. It's a fantastic game.
Speaker 2: And then Andy Lee almost killed Bluey in front of
Speaker 2: all those children, thousands of children's almost a thousand of
Speaker 2: children almost saw Bluey drawn?
Speaker 1: Are you happy? Andy Lee? What's going on?
Speaker 2: It's just and was a little Andy Lee almost had
Speaker 2: to be rescued. It's like struggling from it. When he
Speaker 2: went down the slide into that freezing cold water. I
Speaker 2: thought it was amazing. And then what an amazing story.
Speaker 2: So at at a fundraiser before the game at the
Speaker 2: MCG a couple from Queensland donated forty million dollars.
Speaker 1: Holy mall, incredibly insane story.
Speaker 8: Forty million dollars.
Speaker 2: Just shout a function beforehand, forty million dollars astonishing had
Speaker 2: they had a couple of wines and they just thought,
Speaker 2: you know, I was going to do a ten or twenty,
Speaker 2: but Sody, you know that's to forty million.
Speaker 9: I remember my dad came home from a charity auction
Speaker 9: once with a signed, framed photo of George Gregan.
Speaker 8: That's not exactly a forty million dollar donation.
Speaker 2: That's still pretty amazing. It's still pretty amazing. What is
Speaker 2: your three word long weekend reer?
Speaker 8: Mine is distracted by footy.
Speaker 9: So my partner Will has gone over to Europe, so
Speaker 9: he's in London at the moment. I've got the house
Speaker 9: to myself. I didn't leave the house. Actually the whole
Speaker 9: three days I didn't go past the front gate.
Speaker 8: Isn't that so good, credible.
Speaker 2: I warned you Friday, It's Friday when partners go away,
Speaker 2: men go feral.
Speaker 1: Within minutes, I've become a hermit. And so I'm guessing
Speaker 1: food was brought into you.
Speaker 8: Yes, food was.
Speaker 2: Once we had to start to have macas on Friday,
Speaker 2: it broke the seal. The fairness begun.
Speaker 9: It was the first Domino to four, and so I
Speaker 9: organized to have a chat with him Saturday night, our time,
Speaker 9: which was London morning. Unfortunately, it was right at the
Speaker 9: end of a very thrilling Swans match when they're playing
Speaker 9: some killed up and so I had to do a
Speaker 9: very dangerous game talking to him because I had to
Speaker 9: kind of have the phone up in the same eye
Speaker 9: line as the game, so I could have one eye
Speaker 9: on the game whilst also, since she.
Speaker 1: Last you in just three days, she's gone.
Speaker 2: Boss Si Paul Rio, who's developed some sort of iron
Speaker 2: conditioned another one.
Speaker 9: So I thought I was getting away with it, but
Speaker 9: then he could actually see the reflection of the game
Speaker 9: in the background. He goes, are you watching this one's game?
Speaker 9: I can see it in the window behind. I tried
Speaker 9: a few like early wrap ups. I was like, oh yeah, great,
Speaker 9: well you must you must be wanting to get out.
Speaker 2: Don't waste time worrying about me oring world stuff to
Speaker 2: get to have a great time in European Adventure.
Speaker 9: And you know when you're doing that thing where you're
Speaker 9: only really half listening, Oh that's the crazy people know
Speaker 9: it's crazy.
Speaker 1: No way, you're not really just repeating bits of what
Speaker 1: they've just said.
Speaker 8: You're just mirroring back.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, that was a sound bite. I saw someone
Speaker 1: dying yesterday.
Speaker 9: But all's well, that ends well because the swany's one
Speaker 9: right and the crazy crazy game.
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a break when we
Speaker 1: come back. Your three word long weekend? What did you
Speaker 1: get up to?

Speaker 2: The other thing I thought was beautiful about the big
Speaker 2: freeze yesterday for Fight MND was the gai Era doing
Speaker 2: the coin toss. What a really, really beautiful gesture. I
Speaker 2: thought it was an incredible moment as well. I could
Speaker 2: see Max Corn actually tearing up as well, just the moment.
Speaker 2: I thought it was fantastic. My three word weekend actually

Speaker 1: I think there should be a new law introduced.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, beautiful beautiful Crisp Autumen all morning in a beautiful
Speaker 2: day taking the dog for walker, and I was doing
Speaker 2: always to chat to other dog walkers as well. We
Speaker 2: are a kind of nod dog walker to dog walker
Speaker 2: the morning and what a love is. I saw two
Speaker 2: dogs that had their names on their winter jackets. Some
Speaker 2: smaller dogs now will go out with a little cheeky
Speaker 2: it's a jacket on you, jacker. But to of the
Speaker 2: dogs I saw, they obviously were presume they were brothers.
Speaker 2: But they have their names on so story one. I
Speaker 2: could go, oh and straight away chat to the dogs
Speaker 2: using their names.
Speaker 1: Very polite it is.
Speaker 2: I think it should be a law all dogs should
Speaker 2: have their names on them. So then we cut straight
Speaker 2: into good morning Terry, good morning Dave. Or as I
Speaker 2: saw yesterday it was Buster and Douglas. Great names, great
Speaker 2: names for two little dashans, for their little tom thumbs
Speaker 2: dragging on the muddy ground yesterday. I felt sorry for them.
Speaker 2: Actually they were reluctant dog. They did not want to
Speaker 2: go on that walk. They were going, how much fun
Speaker 2: we've only got out the car lads. Come on, Buster,
Speaker 2: come on Douglas.
Speaker 1: All right? Signs you are an adult The quickly litmus
Speaker 1: test you can always tell. The sign that you are
Speaker 1: a fishing adult is if you go.
Speaker 2: If you go you get really pissed that they've changed
Speaker 2: a layer of your supermarket.
Speaker 1: That means you're a fishing adult. Nineteen twenty whe Els
Speaker 1: would even care.
Speaker 2: They don't even know where it was the forehound, the
Speaker 2: rest of us when we go in there and.
Speaker 1: Oh what, why wouldn't they do that? Oh god, now
Speaker 1: where where's the Mexican stuff? And why do they do it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right? Why.
Speaker 9: I have a theory that they do it so you
Speaker 9: get more lost, and maybe you wander around and you
Speaker 9: grab stuff you don't need. They're deliberately disorienting you like
Speaker 9: see induce you to new friends.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, I know you like taco mix? Have you
Speaker 1: been to Italy? All right?
Speaker 2: So the other thing is signs you an adult. You
Speaker 2: actually have a sleep routine. You don't is good at bed,
Speaker 2: the magnesium, the elthenine, the camramile t you have a
Speaker 2: sleep routine. There was a period in your life where
Speaker 2: you never worried about sleep. Being an adult is constantly
Speaker 2: evaluating your sleep needs recovery. I've got the things that
Speaker 2: ping me now every morning my bed tracks my sleep.
Speaker 2: And guess what, because I get up reasonably early, I
Speaker 2: guess it's always going.
Speaker 1: Now that's just not enough, it's very dark. It's just
Speaker 1: missing me just now. You need to begin your recovery
Speaker 1: right now. Well I can't. I m might work.
Speaker 8: You shouldn't be up.
Speaker 1: Yes, but sleep, that's all we think about. Talk about.
Speaker 1: My whole algorithm knows me. It's various clips of people
Speaker 1: on various podcasts who are sleep experts. Blackened out room,
Speaker 1: have no light. There can't be a millionmeans of light
Speaker 1: in there. You'll never sleep for the rest of your lives.
Speaker 1: There is any light there?
Speaker 8: Literally yesterday.
Speaker 9: I've just started doing a fourteen day deep rest course
Speaker 9: on the Waking Up app to try to improve my sleep.
Speaker 8: Yes, still all I think about?
Speaker 1: When does this become so stressful to sleep?
Speaker 9: Yes, even when you're trying to get to sleep, you're
Speaker 9: worrying about sleep.
Speaker 1: Woke up at quarter to three this morning. Nothing willing
Speaker 1: on my mind other than why am I wake?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then you know when you're up and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: almost fully awake.
Speaker 8: And that's when all the dark thoughts, all the kids?
Speaker 2: Okay, mortgage, all right, real? What is your sign you're
Speaker 2: a grown up?
Speaker 9: I've started noticing I'm starting to make the same noise
Speaker 9: that my dad makes when he gets out of a
Speaker 9: chair or cat.
Speaker 1: Is this one?
Speaker 2: There's something reassuring about doing though, isn't there. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: feels good.
Speaker 8: It's lending me up.
Speaker 1: I think I feel like it actually helps the movement.
Speaker 2: Yes, but then if you think about it, you see
Speaker 2: the big you know, when we are doing the powerlifting
Speaker 2: at the Olympics, that's not silent. They go, that's their
Speaker 2: big effort, our big effort. Now it's just actually getting
Speaker 2: out of a chair. There was one when was the
Speaker 2: last time they're trying to get out of a bean bag?
Speaker 2: Two weeks ago the kids were lying on a bean
Speaker 2: bag and I went, I'll come and lie down there
Speaker 2: with you, and they.
Speaker 1: Were steady, old fella, steady even as they got down
Speaker 1: and went this is going to be a mistake.
Speaker 8: I'm here for the rest of that.
Speaker 1: Getting up. It's going to be hard. You gotta do
Speaker 1: the side roll. Yeah, you're going to take a Niana.
Speaker 8: Maybe that's how you did your bag.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 2: It's the beanbag awful things. They're not not for over
Speaker 2: twenty one year olds. Didn't they should have middle aged beanbags.
Speaker 2: Actually they're actually somehow in flate and propel you us. Yes,

Speaker 1: Hey, that sister, my friend has worked for decades, very
Speaker 1: very very well. I like to have a hard copy
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Yes, same, you see less and less now though. People
Speaker 2: it's only very old people that go on a plane
Speaker 2: with the printed off ticket. When I'm behind them, I go, oh, bless,
Speaker 2: you must be a thousand years old. What was it
Speaker 2: like living in a cave?
Speaker 1: So can you see them? Unfolding it. You know, it's
Speaker 1: always been folded to four pieces.
Speaker 6: See, I still like a paper bill. Don't be emailing
Speaker 6: my invoice and bills. You've seen it in sale mail,
Speaker 6: thank you.
Speaker 1: Now I'm the same. It gets lost in a m box. Yes, wow,
Speaker 1: it's easy to miss hard copy. That's wow, hard copy.
Speaker 6: Put it in my hand.
Speaker 1: This is a generational thing. We we didn't grow up
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: We grew up in a generation of hard copy, hard
Speaker 2: times and hard copy.
Speaker 8: So you go to your mailbox, you open up them.
Speaker 1: That's like I find it somehow, Yeah, no, I find
Speaker 1: it's it's life, real life. I find it reassuring getting
Speaker 1: a hard copy of it.
Speaker 7: I'll even pay two bucks extra a month or whatever
Speaker 7: it is to get a paper copy of a bill.
Speaker 6: I don't mind. I'm prepared to pay that.
Speaker 8: What do you do with the bill after you've put
Speaker 8: it in the filing comment when it's paid?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I bet there's a lot of people right now,
Speaker 2: Stall who still has the filing cabinet system, like Pats and.
Speaker 1: I the younger Jen like Rio, you don't. You didn't
Speaker 1: grab like that.
Speaker 2: We would seeing our parents have that filing cabinet ours
Speaker 2: my wife has even got labels insurance like the medical things,
Speaker 2: even like the pet insurance, all.
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. They've even got their own folder.
Speaker 1: The pets have their own. Larry's got a passport.
Speaker 8: What ye did you have to get what?
Speaker 2: Larry the cat has got a passport? I think our
Speaker 2: dog has as well. Really he's some Queensland we've got
Speaker 2: on during lockdown and they have to have a passport. Yes,
Speaker 2: I think because he's so he could travel, open up
Speaker 2: his original names in there, move faster where it is
Speaker 2: his big name. But there's no photo of him. It's
Speaker 2: like having a passport. Someone could steal Larry's identity. They
Speaker 2: don't even need a head.
Speaker 1: Christian signs an adult.
Speaker 2: When you go to a brand new shopping center and
Speaker 2: you check out the map as soon as you get
Speaker 2: to know where all the toilet locations are, that's wrong,
Speaker 2: Linda Natalie. Christian signs you an adult. You do not
Speaker 2: bounce out of bed anymore. You need to do the
Speaker 2: safety roll one leg over slowly, each yourself up, then
Speaker 2: sit for a moment. You identify what injury you may
Speaker 2: have sustained during the nights. Christian signs an adult keeping
Speaker 2: track of how much hair you lose in the shower?

Speaker 1: up moral bank accounts. You've had hot deals. Maybe your
Speaker 1: mummy opened your one eyes excuse? Have you got pass book?
Speaker 8: You needed a passport? Maybe a Medicare card.

Speaker 1: you need a cabinet for them. Where do you keep
Speaker 1: all your passports? I've got a folder for that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes, Now mind you see my top draw
Speaker 1: Oh no, chaos, chaos.
Speaker 2: The Christian, my husband says on having not one, but
Speaker 2: two filing cabinets, all for different folders for different things.
Speaker 2: Bill's travels, superannuation, et cetera. Christian, as an adult, before
Speaker 2: you wake up, make sure everything is packed ready for
Speaker 2: work the night before. I've been known to forget things
Speaker 2: to work. I always have to double check before leaving home. Now, Christian,
Speaker 2: I'm thirty. It's not just older people that like the
Speaker 2: paper ticket. I like the hard copy. Wow, I just
Speaker 2: thought it was much older people that like to do that.
Speaker 2: All right, So what was in every single school canteen
Speaker 2: and tuck shop, Patsy?
Speaker 1: What was it for you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 7: Staym dimmis in ours. You'd smell it dim sims deemed
Speaker 7: not fried, but it'd smell it about recess time, ahead
Speaker 7: of lunch time. The ladies would put you know, the
Speaker 7: mum's school moms would get them ready, and you just
Speaker 7: waffed across into the classroom corridors. It was fantastic, Always
Speaker 7: steamed dimmies and always with soy sauce.
Speaker 8: Lovely, that's a fancy school.
Speaker 1: Do you reckon hot sausage roll for us? That was true?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this simple. It was all pretty simple
Speaker 1: and basic foods.
Speaker 2: But that hot sausage roll sometimes you get it with
Speaker 2: a layer of like real dirty, old cheap cheese.
Speaker 1: On top of the one. You know, I've never had yet.
Speaker 1: Now I think that would make me sick cheese time.
Speaker 1: You know, you doesn't need that. You would eat any
Speaker 1: old crap.
Speaker 2: You're true, you can just compost stuff for energy immediately, Joey,
Speaker 2: you would eat an entire like Sunday roast and then
Speaker 2: ten minutes go I'm starving and then just run around
Speaker 2: because we used to move more. Now we're too silentry reo.
Speaker 2: What was in your school and when you went to
Speaker 2: quite posh on? So what they have cavea can't see me.
Speaker 1: Rock oysters always?
Speaker 8: The day was Friday?
Speaker 9: Your morton by bugs are here. I want to know
Speaker 9: if they still do this at school. Do you do
Speaker 9: the brown paper bags? You write what the order is
Speaker 9: and then you take that to the canteen later or
Speaker 9: is that I think a relic of the past.
Speaker 6: Yes, there's an app and you fill it out.
Speaker 1: More hard copies. It was the brown paper bag and
Speaker 1: then a hard copy.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, it's all the app.
Speaker 7: And you can even load up her bus pass which
Speaker 7: is like a flexi card for my fifteen nearly fifteen
Speaker 7: year old, and she can.
Speaker 6: Just swipe it get a hot chocolate whatever, if she's
Speaker 6: got credit. It's brilliant. So you don't even have to
Speaker 6: take cash to school anymore, because.
Speaker 8: I remember that was a big thing. When I was
Speaker 8: in year six.
Speaker 9: I got the job of being the guy who took
Speaker 9: over the orders on the brown paper bag.
Speaker 8: That was the coolest kid.
Speaker 1: L this is why you're gay. It wasn't your choice.
Speaker 1: You don't need to take their orders. I'll do it.
Speaker 1: My name is Reorder. I'm topping mats.
Speaker 8: No, all the kids in the playground.

Speaker 5: By the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of weeks, this show has been
Speaker 2: on a mission to save your pubs. Last week, thanks
Speaker 2: to the hundreds of you that told us about your
Speaker 2: local pubs that really need five thousand dollars, we gave
Speaker 2: five pubs five thousand dollars each. This morning, another another
Speaker 2: big pub gets helped, and this time it's for us.
Speaker 2: So announced which one pub we're going to give the
Speaker 2: ultimate pub renner two and I mean over quarter of
Speaker 2: a million dollars to totally transform a pub. Now, Rio
Speaker 2: and I went there last week. We went on a
Speaker 2: secret mission. We flew up to Brisbane and we drove
Speaker 2: for an hour and a half too, an amazing pub,
Speaker 2: a pub that really does need some help, but a
Speaker 2: pub that isn't just a pub. When we first started
Speaker 2: talking about this, these places aren't just buildings there are
Speaker 2: there really are, There's something special.
Speaker 1: They are the front rooms of a community. And this
Speaker 1: pub was that.
Speaker 2: It was a beautiful I guess the only one. I
Speaker 2: can describe it as your classic Queensland kind of pub.
Speaker 2: It looks really still majestic from the outside. The bones
Speaker 2: of it are great, but it really.
Speaker 1: Needs some help.
Speaker 2: But the stars of this pub are the two people
Speaker 2: Tracy and Gary, that brought it two years ago to
Speaker 2: be a home and then realize we can't shut this
Speaker 2: pub down.
Speaker 1: The community will lose so much. So get this.
Speaker 2: For the last two years they've been running this pub.
Speaker 2: They've never run a pub before. The plan was to
Speaker 2: buy it, live in it and shut it down as
Speaker 2: a pub. They've become reluctant pub bonus. Basically, they're working
Speaker 2: in it seven days a week and it was their
Speaker 2: plan to sort of start winding down in their lives
Speaker 2: and so but Rihi and I just fell in love
Speaker 2: with them last week and the story and the pub
Speaker 2: there and which is why we're really really excited to
Speaker 2: announce that the pub getting the ultimate reno is the
Speaker 2: Criterion Hotel in Heldon up in Queensland. And on the
Speaker 2: line now is Tracy. Good morning, Tracy, Good morning Christian.
Speaker 2: Now I can tell you've really been at the coffees.
Speaker 1: This morning.
Speaker 2: It is lovely to speak to you again. We loved
Speaker 2: meeting you and your husband Gary last week.
Speaker 3: Thank you. We loved you guys too, Henrio and e Hamburger.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And here's a bizarre obsession with the local police station
Speaker 2: and knowing how many serving offices.
Speaker 3: Since he's been here, they put more police on.
Speaker 2: Now, Tracy, tell everyone listening then, you know, I was
Speaker 2: just saying about how you know your and your husband
Speaker 2: quite a unique story with this pub. Actually is that
Speaker 2: you brought this place really to turn it into a
Speaker 2: family home exactly.
Speaker 3: Yes, we were winding down. Gary had eye issues and
Speaker 3: I'd been diagnosed with their mess so it was to
Speaker 3: wind down a little bit. And there is no other
Speaker 3: hotel in Helenden, so we couldn't shut it down. It
Speaker 3: was the hub of the town, so it stayed open
Speaker 3: and we kept working, which is.
Speaker 2: Why we're choosing your pub to give the ultimate reno too.
Speaker 2: It really deserves it. And I just love the fact that, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're meant to be winding down, and you both got
Speaker 2: your health issues, but you just signed to wind up
Speaker 2: really and start working in there seven days a week.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's a little crazy, but yes, seven days a
Speaker 3: week and we opened a cafe and this is just unbelievable.
Speaker 3: This will put us five to ten years ahead of
Speaker 3: ourselves to anything we could have done for the pub.
Speaker 10: And she needs it.
Speaker 2: And do you think we need also to maybe give
Speaker 2: a little bit of care attention to that dog digger
Speaker 2: as well. He needs some kind of makeover or attitude adjustment.
Speaker 2: Rio was terrified of him.
Speaker 8: He was giving me looks the whole time.
Speaker 2: Well, your husband kept saying, he's purring it, Ria, but
Speaker 2: that is a growl angry.
Speaker 10: Yes, he took a lighting to Rio.
Speaker 1: It took it something to I think it was going
Speaker 1: to take a chunk out of him.
Speaker 2: Now, Tracy tell us, so we're going to give you
Speaker 2: the ultimate reno, and we've only got like sixteen days.
Speaker 1: So here's the plan. Sixteen days to transform your pub.
Speaker 2: Okay, over a quarter of a million dollars, that's what
Speaker 2: we're going to put into this place. And then we
Speaker 2: thought we're going to come up there and do the
Speaker 2: show for the grand reopening.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Wow, this is just all overwhelming.
Speaker 10: It's just so much, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Well, you deserve it. It's an amazing pub. You and
Speaker 2: your husband are two legends as well. So what do
Speaker 2: you think really needs to happen in the sixteen days
Speaker 2: we're up against the time? What is it painting the
Speaker 2: carpets in the dining room.
Speaker 3: Definitely, the bar will do something with that, you know,
Speaker 3: painted and give it a bit of a facialist the
Speaker 3: dining room and maybe a little bit of paint.
Speaker 10: We'll throw it at the coffee shop as well.
Speaker 1: And also I thought, you know the pub garden. You've
Speaker 1: got that great area there as a pub garden, but
Speaker 1: it's kind of empty. It needs something in the pub
Speaker 1: garden doesn't need some love, Yes it does, yeh, it
Speaker 1: needs some love. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I thought today we could ask for ideas and
Speaker 2: the listeners about what we could do with the pub garden.
Speaker 1: And also at nine o'clock this morning, I know you've.
Speaker 2: Been up since five am serving coffees and snacks that
Speaker 2: rather than the community the painters will be arriving to
Speaker 2: start work straight away. So the reno, I'm not calling
Speaker 2: you to say it's start the next couple days. It
Speaker 2: starts this morning because we're up against it. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's a sixteen day pub makeover.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: All right, we listen, Tracy, we look for ideas about
Speaker 2: the pub makeover, and if anyone else wants to come
Speaker 2: and help as well, maybe pick up some rollers and
Speaker 2: some paint and we'll go up to Queensland to go.
Speaker 1: And see you guys. But the work starts at nine
Speaker 1: am this morning. Tracy.
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so.
Speaker 3: Much and four exs.
Speaker 1: This is just unbelievable, our pleasure.
Speaker 2: Look forward to seeing you soon and we'll keep talking
Speaker 2: about how it's all going. Okay, Tracy, but congratulations to
Speaker 2: you and your husband Gary, the Criterion Hotel and Helen
Speaker 2: and Queensland. That is our pub that we're going to
Speaker 2: give the ultimate pub reno to Congratulations.
Speaker 1: Speak soon, Tracy, Thank you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Christian, thank you, the Christian O'Connell show.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I'll pass it on to him.
Speaker 2: Thanks to four X. The pub's calling. Somewhere between the
Speaker 2: first sip and the last laugh. It's always a four x.
Speaker 2: Go online see the video of Rio and I up there.
Speaker 2: It's an amazing place. We've got so many crazy stories
Speaker 2: for them as well, which will share in the next
Speaker 2: couple of days. But today the big thing we need
Speaker 2: to help with what would be the ultimate pub guard
Speaker 2: And at the moment it's just that it's just a garden.
Speaker 1: What would make a great pub garden?
Speaker 4: Send us your ideas the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: So we just announced which pub is getting the ultimate
Speaker 2: pub rano in Save our pub It. Let's just say this,
Speaker 2: it's not down the road from us. A lot of
Speaker 2: lazy radio shows of this pit convenience. When we start
Speaker 2: the show, we said that we want to make a
Speaker 2: breakfast show and make it so wherever you want Australia.
Speaker 2: If you want this kind of radio and what we
Speaker 2: do on the brights of the dial, this is the
Speaker 2: show for you. We're just going to make it more available.
Speaker 2: And that's why we're in Sydney now. We're in Adelaide
Speaker 2: in Perth and we pitched a pub that's in Queensland.
Speaker 2: We went with a pub that actually just got a
Speaker 2: great story and it really doesn't matter to us whether
Speaker 2: it's in Queensland, whether it's a Victoria or New South Wales.
Speaker 1: The pub is what.
Speaker 2: We've been looking for and the people in the community,
Speaker 2: and when Rie and I went up there on our
Speaker 2: secret mission last week, this is what your kind of
Speaker 2: country pub is, and this is what we're doing this for,
Speaker 2: is actually to shine a light on those places that
Speaker 2: are struggling. And you've got these two people that did
Speaker 2: not set out in life in their sixties to run
Speaker 2: a pub.
Speaker 1: They brought this pub.
Speaker 2: They found it online, thought it'd be a nice place
Speaker 2: to have as a home, you know, and to have
Speaker 2: their grandchildren in. And then when they moved in, they realised,
Speaker 2: we can't close this place down. This is the only
Speaker 2: hotel in this community. A thousand people live around here.
Speaker 2: This pub is over one hundred years old. Generations have
Speaker 2: got stories connected to her place. So they've been running
Speaker 2: it for the last two years. So when we met
Speaker 2: them last last Wednesday, when Marina and I went up there,
Speaker 2: I just presume they've been running pubs before. They've never
Speaker 2: run a pub before in their life. They've been running
Speaker 2: it for two years and after they decided to make
Speaker 2: this decision. After a week or two of moving into
Speaker 2: this pub, which is about sort of half an hour
Speaker 2: from a place called Tawoomba, in a place called Helden,
Speaker 2: Tracy Goetz a diagnosis from you know, she's not well,
Speaker 2: she's got MS and she's still up this morning at
Speaker 2: five am serving coffees for the community.
Speaker 1: They are. When you talk about Ossie Legends, that's.
Speaker 8: Those two one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Seriously, when we were up there, you would have thought
Speaker 2: they've been part of that commit for twenty years. Everyone
Speaker 2: knew them and they cared about everyone. As soon as
Speaker 2: Rio turned up. They obviously can smell city slickers.
Speaker 1: No, no, said Pats. We walk across a road.
Speaker 2: I'd really been doing some peace to camera and then
Speaker 2: gave it away, you know, across from the pub, and
Speaker 2: just that old guy didn't he Pa, Pat just comes
Speaker 2: up to us.
Speaker 1: You know when the local does this, you're doing?
Speaker 2: Where are you from? Sizing me up as not a local?
Speaker 2: You ain't from around here, stranger? What you're doing here?
Speaker 1: You're doing?
Speaker 2: So we told him, and then straight away is going
Speaker 2: people already care about These couple are amazing. Straight away
Speaker 2: he was like an handf for this pub and then
Speaker 2: he told us a wild story about the rodeo. They
Speaker 2: did it round the back of the pub.
Speaker 9: My god, Patty, have you ever heard of such a
Speaker 9: thing as a pub? When I said that, they said
Speaker 9: they held a rodeo at the pub. I said, I've
Speaker 9: never heard of a pub rodeo. They looked at me
Speaker 9: like I was an alien.
Speaker 1: Thirty odd balls, thirty balls, fire people, anyone can have
Speaker 1: a go on.
Speaker 2: I don't know what queen where Queensland is on sort
Speaker 2: of bureaucracy and admin health and safety. They were telling
Speaker 2: me about a twelve year old that did it and
Speaker 2: then obviously got thrown off and then chased.
Speaker 8: By bow and not in a nearby field in the pub. Yeah,
Speaker 8: just behind the bugle there.
Speaker 1: Was a hill's hoist and then there was like near
Speaker 1: that was where the bulls was. We had balls running around, yes.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's why we chose this pub. It was
Speaker 2: just well, this, this has to be. This is what
Speaker 2: we've been talking about. So the big thing we need
Speaker 2: at the moment, and we've only got sixteen days, is
Speaker 2: I think we focused first of all in the pub garden, right,
Speaker 2: because that is that's where families are and at that moment,
Speaker 2: it's just a garden, to be honest, A couple of
Speaker 2: dog gun poos. Maybe a place for dog poos, why not?
Speaker 2: You know all kids can use it as a chalk.
Speaker 2: They can withdraw with the little tried up ones that
Speaker 2: I saw there, or kick it around anyway. Christian, my
Speaker 2: local pub is the is festooned with lights.
Speaker 6: Beauty's exactly the one.

Speaker 2: music on the big old eighty inch TV for sports.
Speaker 2: They do have an area and this is radio, but
Speaker 2: I'm saying era in quotation marks.
Speaker 1: It's an area the stage. It looks like it looks
Speaker 1: to be honest at the moment, sort of place where
Speaker 1: they might make a hostage video.
Speaker 8: And it's not an exaggeration.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that is the only way I could
Speaker 1: describe it.
Speaker 8: By a mission needs a bit of work. The stage yeah.
