Your podcast camera wrapped.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
And Gabby driving your Home minus Rod for the time being,
joined by producer Beth Camebra.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
May or may not be the most boring city in Australia.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
You come from. I mean, first of all, I would
like to say from a biased perspective, it obviously is 'end.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Like we always get the rap though, don't we, Like
we always get a bad rap about being boring from
people who have not actually been to Cameberra.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
And I'll tell you you know, those years when I
left Camber and went back to the Gold Coast before
returning back to Canberra, I was like our unofficial ambassador
every single time someone said bad saying battles like excuse me,
you know what gold Coast at least and or di
scummy as.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
You at least Gold Coast on the list.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I doubt it.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
No, they're not anyway.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
All right, let's start with number ten versus According to
the Internet, there was someone who's American who was in
Australia and they were like, all right, what are the
most boring places me where to avoid?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
So anyone could comment on this and nominate and.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Yeah, have a little vote.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
IK So coming in at number ten on the list
is Sydney.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Really, yeah, that's unexpected.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Actually, you know since COVID though with like the.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
The city's a bit dead.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, like not a lot of like live music and stuff,
so that sort of makes sense. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Number nine Melbourne, really, I think Pete they're just saying
places at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So some Americans have just gotten on board and being like,
these are the only cities I know.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
There are alsies commenting yeah, yeah, I anyone know.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Melbourne and Sydney they've got it going on.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
And the number eight they've said Brisbane. I think they're
just putting all the main ones in there. This is
where it starts to get a little bit controversial. Number
seven Port Agusta otherwise known as porta Gutter.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Oh so I lived in Portagusta. So people like, how did.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You get into radio Bath And I'm like, well, I
literally started. I moved to the middle of nowhere. It's
three and a half hours from Adelaide, and when you
drive from Adelaide it's like orange dirt for three and
a half hours. So you can imagine me like blonde,
nineteen year old, just culture shock and.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
A half right the EMUs there at least I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
There was a lot of things, so.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's like it's like just like a fever dream.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
These days, it's like living in a different country anyway.
So the reason why that offends me is because that's
number seven and number six in the list is camera, and.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You obviously rate Camera way above Portagusta.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yes, yeah, outrageous.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Someone said, I always think Camber looks like it's been
hit with an anthrax bomb.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
There are so many buildings, but you never see anyone
walking on the street. It's very strange.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Have they not seen us on our scooters?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Although it does look a little it goes down at
like Christmas and stuff. I must say that.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Because everyone goes out. Yeah, okay, and that's probably when
people are visiting.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yeah. Then number five.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I don't know how to say this. Tara loogone vic
tra tra Tarara loo gone vic. I can't say the word.
But you know that plays in Victoria. I don't know
that much of people have lived there.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Show me what how do you how do you spell it?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
T r A R A L g O N. Yeah,
I don't know it, and I don't think we're missing
out on much. Number four also controversial. I'm very sorry,
but Goldban.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
B M.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Well, well do you know what they've said? Actually it's
Goldburn is the eighth wonder of the world. It's the
only whole above ground.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm surprised Golden got to mention so like I'd just
be chuffed at that.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
All the cities in Australia no publicity publicity.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Number three Adelaide.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I like Adelaide, but I've got family there.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I like Adelaide too.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It's always fun.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
When I went there as a kid and would go
to Magic Mountain and go to Glenelgan once again.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
When I lived in Portagusta, I would get out. I would,
you know, keep my sanity by visiting Adelaide. But they've
got Adelaide's more boring than extramatically, it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Number two.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I do like this comment ip Switch in Queensland. It
says Ronald McDonald is the only person awake after nine o'clock.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
There's people that are doing no good awake at nine o'clock.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
In as well. Actually that's true.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Crime rate's pretty good, yes.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yes, and number one on the list. I'm just really
glad we didn't make number one because it would have
been even more furious. Is Welger Welga, New South Wales
And my favorite quotes here were the most exciting thing
to happen here recently was that a chocolate cafe opened
up and another person said it's the biggest Inland City

(04:59):
and New Southway and as dull as dishwater.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Oh no.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Produce Haley, who works on the Brecky Show would be devastated.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I know, do you, Reckon? I should send her this,
pop it in her inbox. Actually, I'm just going to
print it and put it on a desk.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I will I do it right now?
