| 0:00.0 | Welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. |
| 0:04.8 | On Friday's show on Nature Strip Radio where every Friday we sell your stuff, |
| 0:12.9 | we had a call from Gary, who wanted to offload his Brisbane Lions jumper. |
| 0:18.5 | I live in Melbourne, but because I loved Holden, Holden was the emblem of the line, |
| 0:25.1 | and I thought, Lion, Miles Barrier for the Brisbane Line, it all just gel together. |
| 0:29.5 | Okay, like, you know, sometimes it's hard to understand what another person's, it all just gel together. |
| 0:35.0 | We're all different, aren't we? |
