Speaker 3: Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Good morning Rio, good morning, Good morning Alex, Morning, Good
Speaker 1: morning Patsy. Some team members must think that we are stupid.
Speaker 1: There's a guy works on the show called Lockey Right,
Speaker 1: and he's a mega NRL fan. Suddenly, last night halftime
Speaker 1: I get a message from the team.
Speaker 4: Look, he's not feeling very well. Oh is that right?
Speaker 4: I bet he's probably like eight beers here.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, this is going to be a good
Speaker 1: second half, and suddenly he's not well. He's also a
Speaker 1: major fan of the F one. It was the Singapore
Speaker 1: Grand Prix. Put that all together. Now, wonder he's not
Speaker 1: in today.
Speaker 5: He's feeling unwaiting, unwill Yeah, the timing was very peculiar.
Speaker 1: Late Sunday night, second half. I don't know. Watching a
Speaker 1: whole Grand Final last night, it was so exciting, it
Speaker 1: was incredible.
Speaker 4: Yeah did you watch, Alex?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 6: I watched every single scintillating, wonderful.
Speaker 1: Beautiful film. I'm really sorry for storm. It was similar
Speaker 1: to the story to the Grand final last weekend, where
Speaker 1: something happens at halftime one coach or I don't know
Speaker 1: what happens where the second half is completely different game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how was that rank? With NRL ground finals the best?
Speaker 7: I reckon it one of the best by far, so close.
Speaker 7: Incredible game. It was the highest scoring first half ever
Speaker 7: in a Grand final, right, yeah, twenty two points NRL.
Speaker 1: Ground final I've ever seen. And I was going to
Speaker 1: watch the first half then go to bed because we
Speaker 1: were off last week, but it was too gripping. I
Speaker 1: stayed and watch the whole thing. And also I thought
Speaker 1: afterwards the players, so both teams spoke so well they.
Speaker 7: Did they did, and disappointing but really supportive of their
Speaker 7: teams and people like Race Walsh as well. He's an
Speaker 7: absolute superstar of the NRL. I'm trying to think here
Speaker 7: we compared to in the AFL, young, good looking.
Speaker 4: Very very good player Bailey Smith.
Speaker 6: Bailey Smith, yeah yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 4: Also similar personality and.
Speaker 1: Oh look at this, Bailey Smith's a bit of a
Speaker 1: flog And also, like Reice had a phenomenal Grand Final,
Speaker 1: Bailly Smith did not have a great Grand Final the
Speaker 1: way he was mouthing off in the second half. It
Speaker 1: was like, dude, you like thirty points down? What do
Speaker 1: you do your job? My favorite of the second half
Speaker 1: of the of the Cats Lions Grand Finals when it's headman, Now,
Speaker 1: tell me this. What do we all think about nighttime
Speaker 1: Grand Finals? And I know this is a really big topic, right,
Speaker 1: people get very upset AFL fans like it's an institution.
Speaker 1: It's always on a Saturday afternoon. I get that. But
Speaker 1: nighttime Grand finals TV wise do look better.
Speaker 4: It looks awesome.
Speaker 5: The nri O Grand Final music performance is lit better exactly.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I feel like there's an electric line in the air
Speaker 4: as well. Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Even the half time show, which was just a DJ,
Speaker 5: looked awesome. It was just DJ Havannah Brown, who's famous
Speaker 5: from two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was watching with an English friend of mine, right,
Speaker 1: who's a is actually a pe teacher. Okay, watch this
Speaker 1: on Mega School in Singapore, Singapore, that's where it is
Speaker 1: where there's three thousand students at his school. He has
Speaker 1: forty different sports coaches answering to him. Oh wow, great,
Speaker 1: he was watching. This is the first na L Grand
Speaker 1: Final he's ever seen. He's played rugby league in the
Speaker 1: UK to a high level, and halftime was like.
Speaker 4: What the hell is happening now? Oh, I'm it's a
Speaker 4: DJ for a bit.
Speaker 1: AFL one halftime is a random race between some of
Speaker 1: the players that nothing is no, like, it's not like
Speaker 1: a big thing, do you know? Oh and some and
Speaker 1: so one. Anyway, when we come back from the break and.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what why do you do that?
Speaker 1: Why are they.
Speaker 4: Dressed like that in tights?
Speaker 5: They've got the ties with no shorter round shot right
Speaker 5: orange times.
Speaker 4: It is not a flattering.
Speaker 1: Look tradition tradition, It's just strange foot race between some
Speaker 1: of the plays.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, that are just randomly, not even the fastest
Speaker 5: ones like Toby Green.
Speaker 1: Was there, I know a random Yeah. Do they draw
Speaker 1: lots And it's like it's a punishment if you have
Speaker 1: a good season, but you know what you're going to
Speaker 1: have to do, not the old foot rate.
Speaker 4: What do you think about nighttime grand finals?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: I think it's too late, especially for young kids, and
Speaker 7: young kids want to stay up and watch their idols
Speaker 7: and their heroes. I just think I think a grand
Speaker 7: final are five thirty twilight. I know the AFL are
Speaker 7: really looking hard into that. I just think a Twilight
Speaker 7: Grand Final, the sun is setting. It worked to a treat.
Speaker 7: It worked really well in Perth when the days won
Speaker 7: over there. I just think it looked magic. So it's
Speaker 7: just too late. It's gidding.
Speaker 1: But haven't they got like a public holiday today? They do,
Speaker 1: they do, but they are seven. I mean, how light
Speaker 1: weight are the kids of Australia.
Speaker 6: I'm going to please?
Speaker 4: Can I go to bed seven one? It was seven
Speaker 4: thirty five.
Speaker 1: It's too late by the time this country goes to
Speaker 1: bed real early. When I moved here, I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: that even the street lights start dimming, like seven o'clock
Speaker 1: the time everyone Now, restaurants start closing up at nine pm.
Speaker 4: Sydney's even earlier.
Speaker 5: Sydney's crazy restaurant's closing, you know, eight o'clock.
Speaker 4: Everyone's everyone week.
Speaker 1: I'm going to play a song now when we come back.
Speaker 1: Someone on this show was scoping out Sydney over the week.
Speaker 1: We'll get Patsy's report.
Speaker 3: Next the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1: Patsy, how's your week off? What do you get up too?
Speaker 8: Mach we flew up to Sydney, had the most sensational
Speaker 8: long weekend up there.
Speaker 9: The minute you land, the weather was incredible.
Speaker 1: So you were their grand final weekend. Yeah, obviously you
Speaker 1: hate Footy Victoria on that Thursday show when we were
Speaker 1: going you don't want a big Footy fan fight you on.
Speaker 1: No one likes it harder than me, No one likes
Speaker 1: it more than me, and we put those flights to
Speaker 1: get out of the city as soon as everyone starts arriving.
Speaker 1: The air botm has been so quiet going out of
Speaker 1: Melbourne going that way as the country's coming into it.
Speaker 9: Going against the time.
Speaker 8: No, it was funny because we had to be back
Speaker 8: at them at the hotel by like one or twelve thirty,
Speaker 8: so Chris could sit in front of the telly and
Speaker 8: watch the TV and Audrey and I thought, oh no,
Speaker 8: we're going to go out. But the weather was great.
Speaker 8: It was like thirty thirty one sunshine.
Speaker 1: Now tell me there's Pats and be honest, right, and
Speaker 1: some of lists might not realize there's some show news,
Speaker 1: but from January next year we're going live into Sydney
Speaker 1: and all of Australia in the morning, right, So very
Speaker 1: very exciting times. Were you also scoping out ahead of
Speaker 1: our you know us being on air in Sydney.
Speaker 9: Yeah, of course I was.
Speaker 1: That sent me a very bad photo right of Sydney
Speaker 1: Harbor Bridge, and well a third of it was Sydney
Speaker 1: Harbor Bridge. Two thirdsy was a church and at first
Speaker 1: I didn't know whether she'd had a conversion. So what
Speaker 1: are we seeing here? She's found the Lord and she
Speaker 1: was like, it's just hit me, what's happening. It was like,
Speaker 1: it's like she heard me two months ago say we're
Speaker 1: going national and then she got to Sydney saw the
Speaker 1: Harbor Bridge went oh, he means, yeah, that's the place
Speaker 1: with the bridge. I said, to perhaps go into that
Speaker 1: church and say a prayer for us. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of upset Jones and Amanda fans light a candle like
Speaker 1: candle for the show.
Speaker 9: This is the enormity.
Speaker 8: When we landed, I thought, hang on, we're actually doing this.
Speaker 9: That's right, Yeah, we are doing this.
Speaker 8: And it's not until you've sort of engulfed in the
Speaker 8: city and how massive it is and it's such a
Speaker 8: beautiful place. But yeah, I went to the theater there
Speaker 8: and saw Back to the Future the musical, which was
Speaker 8: out of this world, and the highlight at the end,
Speaker 8: which I didn't know was going to happen.
Speaker 9: Co creator Bob Gail, Oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, I's a co writer, Yeah, with Robertsonmachus.
Speaker 9: Yes, came out on stage.
Speaker 8: He was there for like the first few performances and
Speaker 8: spoke for like ten minutes.
Speaker 9: It's just insane. If you get a chance, get up
Speaker 9: there and see it. It is brilliant.
Speaker 8: At the Lyric Theater, it was just honestly, hands down,
Speaker 8: the best thing I have ever seen in musical theater.
Speaker 6: You've seen them all outs.
Speaker 9: Outstanding, and the Dolorean is there.
Speaker 8: It comes out over the I don't want to give
Speaker 8: too much away, but it comes out over.
Speaker 1: If our listeners are going to go and see that
Speaker 1: it came out over the ground spoiler. Oh no, surely
Speaker 1: when you get there you probably see like a hydraulic
Speaker 1: sort of film.
Speaker 9: The way they do it is just fantastic.
Speaker 8: Shocked with getting there was a bit of a drama,
Speaker 8: I say so. Apparently since we last flew with a
Speaker 8: certain airline, they're check in has now like blown out
Speaker 8: double You've got to be there like doubly early, and
Speaker 8: we didn't know that, and so we flew out of
Speaker 8: Avalon when we got there, we had a problem heading
Speaker 8: into park because all the boomgates were stuck down. So
Speaker 8: I don't know if you've been to Avalon, but it's
Speaker 8: a little bit into the terminal.
Speaker 1: It's that thing you accidentally go when you this flights
Speaker 1: are so cheap and you go, you Melbourne all airports thing.
Speaker 8: I had to get out of the car flee into
Speaker 8: the terminal. This was at five am. We had a
Speaker 8: six am flight, and we think, no, it's okay, we're.
Speaker 4: What you got there at five.
Speaker 9: Oh, it's stacks of to No.
Speaker 1: I would have been there at four. No, no domestic,
Speaker 1: no wait, no, no, no, those.
Speaker 8: Boom gates open at four anyway, they weren't working. So
Speaker 8: I had to track down the security guy and he said, oh, no,
Speaker 8: you're going through the wrong entrance.
Speaker 9: Anyway, we sorted that out. So going through, Yeah, we
Speaker 9: went long the long.
Speaker 8: Term and we needed to go to like just the
Speaker 8: short term or something. And it was dark. You couldn't see.
Speaker 1: The chance of those boom gates being stuck. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the other version of the story is, but it's
Speaker 1: a there's griswolves turning up late.
Speaker 9: Well, we're never late for flights. This is the thing.
Speaker 6: You came there at five for six flot It's fine.
Speaker 8: So we get there, but like five twenty two and
Speaker 8: the flight closed at five twenty and she said, look,
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, but you've missed the flight. And we're like, yeah,
Speaker 8: but everyone's lining up to go through security and she
Speaker 8: said no, no, no, it closes at like, you know, forty
Speaker 8: minutes before now.
Speaker 9: And I said, isn't it thirty?
Speaker 8: She goes, no, it's forty and I said, oh gosh,
Speaker 8: I didn't realize. And so we're standing there. What are
Speaker 8: we going to do?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I didn't realize. You do everyone knows.
Speaker 9: No, didn't realize.
Speaker 1: We don't for minutes before the flight.
Speaker 8: We don't check in like you know when you get
Speaker 8: the email check in for your flight.
Speaker 9: Now, we don't do that. We're like, what I'd like
Speaker 9: to do it at.
Speaker 4: The No, that's INSIDEE do that? Literally they probably don't
Speaker 4: even have the technology to do.
Speaker 1: We've got to get plug the computer in to the landlight.
Speaker 4: Why do you want Christra admin.
Speaker 1: When you get that it's very five am.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 8: I just figure I had one case to check in,
Speaker 8: which was mine, right, a big case, And I thought, well,
Speaker 8: We've got to check the case in anyway, so I'll
Speaker 8: just check it.
Speaker 1: So no one else your husband, or do it to
Speaker 1: no clothes.
Speaker 6: You just had your case.
Speaker 8: No, well they had they had carry on, so they
Speaker 8: had We had two carry on cases, which one was
Speaker 8: already is one was a love God's and I had
Speaker 8: my big case to check through. And so she said,
Speaker 8: hang on, let me get the manager. I'll see if
Speaker 8: we can get you on.
Speaker 9: And Chris is like, I don't understand why we've got tickets.
Speaker 9: And I said, oh no, I don't know.
Speaker 4: You can't just rock up when you want.
Speaker 1: It's how it works around the world, though system they
Speaker 1: closed the gate.
Speaker 4: It's very clear everyone knows full time, I.
Speaker 8: Realized it had changed anyway. So the manager came and
Speaker 8: she said, look, I've got you on the flight. I said, oh,
Speaker 8: thank you, that's so awesome. But she said, baggage has
Speaker 8: obviously closed, so you can't check in your big case.
Speaker 9: You can only do carry on. I thought, oh.
Speaker 8: She said, you've got like literally two minutes to get
Speaker 8: get your cases through security.
Speaker 9: And onto the plane.
Speaker 10: So it was we were Audrey and I were on
Speaker 10: all fours, shucking stuff the floor.
Speaker 3: Chris is just.
Speaker 9: Standing there not.
Speaker 1: Horrify.
Speaker 8: There were bras, there were niggers, there were shoes, there
Speaker 8: was a hair dryer.
Speaker 9: It was just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: A look am on a Saturday morning and.
Speaker 9: Chris is like, oh, we'll just get a later flight.
Speaker 9: And I said, we.
Speaker 4: Can't get a later flight. They're all book stop, just stop.
Speaker 4: You gotta help.
Speaker 8: Anyway, having a meltdown and check there just is not
Speaker 8: my finest moment. So everyone else in security was like
Speaker 8: laughing looking at us, and I thought.
Speaker 9: I can't care. I can't care.
Speaker 4: How ridiculous. What about your bear?
Speaker 1: I also thinking, so I said to Christy, I didn't
Speaker 1: have to be detonate my border patrol.
Speaker 9: I said, leave the suitcase back again.
Speaker 6: We need to just.
Speaker 4: Get in it. Just got a suitcase. It's a lot
Speaker 4: of suspicious.
Speaker 8: Anyway, the manager said, you're gonna have to take the
Speaker 8: suitcase back to the car in the car park. I
Speaker 8: said to Chris, you need to run. Chris, of course
Speaker 8: he did, so he can flae you back to the car,
Speaker 8: put the case in the car while Audrey and I
Speaker 8: went through security. And then as he came to go
Speaker 8: through security, there was something wrong with the belt and
Speaker 8: it stopped and we're like waving at the gate like
Speaker 8: come on, come on.
Speaker 9: It was just too close.
Speaker 1: This whole thing, like, this whole thing's ridiculous. The rest
Speaker 1: of the flight passes must been clocking them and going
Speaker 1: Melbourne Bogan.
Speaker 4: All fours.
Speaker 9: It was just oh, man, so yeah, did you got this?
Speaker 4: We got on the plane?

Speaker 5: you follow this little map that they give you and
Speaker 5: then you find that you have to do it.
Speaker 1: Wow, So it's an adventure the moment you start to
Speaker 1: go there.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yeah, so you have to follow all these
Speaker 5: directions to actually find the tiny home because it is
Speaker 5: really remote.
Speaker 4: It's just out in the wilderness.
Speaker 9: Panic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's in like this was like it was
Speaker 5: on top of a hill. It was so.
Speaker 1: Beautiful and there's no one else around.
Speaker 4: There's no one around. You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Are you oldly scared? As well?
Speaker 5: A little bit at night because one of the knights
Speaker 5: was howling wind and rain and you're in this tiny
Speaker 5: little shack you like, I think it's in the middle
Speaker 5: of I think, you think might blow away.
Speaker 4: And then you hear like a your brain thing. Someone
Speaker 4: goes that a lion or something. Obviously not its arrange, exactly.
Speaker 1: Lost to life.
Speaker 4: The lines come in.
Speaker 1: I'm not nature.
Speaker 4: But oh my god, it was so much Sure did
Speaker 4: you read?
Speaker 6: I read?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I just walked around.
Speaker 5: It was almost what you didn't do, Like I didn't
Speaker 5: talk to a single soul, I had no responsibilities.
Speaker 4: I did crosswords for the first time.
Speaker 5: I'm now really into crosswords.
Speaker 4: I just read my book. I walked. It was bliss

Speaker 1: start scrolling from the screen.
Speaker 9: To watch Netflix.
Speaker 4: Out there you could watch Netflix. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I think that I probably had my taeilstrap coverage, but

Speaker 5: I turned my phone off for the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was amazing. Yeah, the whole point is so lovely,
Speaker 5: just chatting to the birds. I saw the feel of
Speaker 5: people that are bird watches, which I always thought was like,
Speaker 5: you're like wonderful yea.
Speaker 1: That nature is like always there around us, but we're
Speaker 1: never fully absorbing it or in it with it.
Speaker 4: Definitely, And now I noticed birds all.
Speaker 6: The time, always there, always there.
Speaker 1: Don't you find it? Though? When you spend time in
Speaker 1: nature and you're really immersed in it, away from your
Speaker 1: phone and not checking your phone every copment.
Speaker 4: It gives you just resets who we really are. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it is so nurished.
Speaker 1: Those three days you were there about we're equivalent of
Speaker 1: having a three week break. Yes.
Speaker 5: I came out of it just like so peaceful. It's
Speaker 5: so nice. It's crazy what your brain, your phones do

Speaker 1: was talking to my daughters of the day about this
Speaker 1: and they were like, so, God, ugh, what you're saying.
Speaker 1: It was better when men like.
Speaker 4: You would just come up to someone in the bar
Speaker 4: and ask for a phone number. When that system.
Speaker 1: There are lots have happily married people who met that way.
Speaker 4: People did meet up before phones relations. And also not

Speaker 3: The Christian O'Connell show podcast In.
Speaker 1: The Misheard Lyrics Today, one of your misheard lyrics was
Speaker 1: a line in a Pearl Jam song Eddie singing about
Speaker 1: garden gnome, little Gnome. So we launched hinto conversation about gnomes.
Speaker 1: A lot got kicked up headlines you just tuned in.
Speaker 1: Alex Cullen seems to believe that was a spate of
Speaker 1: kidnappings of people's garden nomes and then they were taken
Speaker 1: around the world and the owners were subjected to images
Speaker 1: of the gnomes of various landmarks of the world. Yeah, Christian,
Speaker 1: there's a gnome vill in Southwest Australia. Massive accumulation of
Speaker 1: donated gnomes.
Speaker 4: From Robert Wow four and a half stars on Google.
Speaker 1: Really, Christian, I won a gnome a few weeks back
Speaker 1: in a raffle. It was one of the ones that
Speaker 1: I think they sold out in record time. Actually it's
Speaker 1: one of the bluey ones. They brought them back. Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: they were available at Bunnings. People were queueing at like
Speaker 1: six a m.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: My five year old was so excited. He's too good
Speaker 1: for the garden, so he sits on the laundry shelf. Christian,
Speaker 1: we did the fourteen month lap around Australia, bought our
Speaker 1: gnome Jerome with us. He had his photos to all
Speaker 1: the major landmarks Jerome and I carried him on all
Speaker 1: of ourkes. Here he is on top of Jim Jim
Speaker 1: face in Kakadoo. He looks very happy to be there
Speaker 1: as well, because you can imagine sitting on a plane
Speaker 1: and the next year is a garden nomes sitting next
Speaker 1: year with its own seat. Now, good point, Shane, very good point, Christian.
Speaker 1: There was a spay of garden nome thefts around Victoria
Speaker 1: about thirty years ago. The thieves would place the gnomes
Speaker 1: on football ovals, lined up against each other like a footie.
Speaker 4: Who knew there was so much to do with.
Speaker 1: Christian. I think Alex might be confused with the subplot
Speaker 1: of the French movie Amelie. They steal garden nomes and
Speaker 1: take photos around the world. Were getting a lot of
Speaker 1: people texting and going now she's got confused with a movie.
Speaker 1: And then I got this, some luke, Christian, My mum
Speaker 1: get this her full time job. She paints garden gnomes.
Speaker 4: Oh what a job.
Speaker 1: She gets a delivery every month or two and she
Speaker 1: has to paint them.
Speaker 4: Oh I guess here. You never think about how they
Speaker 4: get painted. She's a full time nome painter. That is
Speaker 4: a recession proof for job like that. That's great.
