Speaker 3 (03:11):
Ringing bell.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
We'll have to go into the show archives after this
he was a man who walked his.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Lama through the streets of fitzro That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Someone will know something about this right now, about Alama
in North Melbourne. I think Fitzroy called Barack Olama.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Now such as Barack Olama. I was right. We have
talked about whether or not this is factual fiction about
Alama in North Melbourne called Barack Olama. And I found
the original email from twenty nineteen first year of the show,
twenty fourth of July twenty nineteen from a guy called
Brian maguire Christian, I need to sell you to set
on an argument. A few years ago, my best mate
(03:50):
Poll emigrated to Melbourne from Scotland. He's now living in Geneal.
He's back in Scotland for a few week visiting family
and we found ourselves having a few beers. Asked him
about what life up and was like and he was
saying what a diverse and dynamic city is and he
also said that Australians are mad and that he claims that.
Whilst walking once in an area called Fitzroy after work,
he was asked to hold the lead to someone's pet
(04:12):
lama whilst the owner went to get a coffee in
a coffee shop. This was clearly met with cynicism from
US Scots. We don't know what a vegetable looks like,
levermind someone who takes her lama for a walk. He
swears it's true, not just that that when he was
chatting with the only when it came back with the coffee,
that the lama was called Barack o Lama? Christian, are
there locals walking around Melbourne with lama's on leeds, parents
(04:35):
and shoulders and snakes around the next? Is that what
accunts for a hipster in North Melbourne? I can't remember
what we found out about the legend. I think is
it still hanging out? There's a question. Yes, all these
years later, in twenty twenty five, we still haven't got
any closer to the truth about Barack oh Lama. If
anyone's got anything to say about that, please email me today,
(04:58):
Christian at Christian O'Connor dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
They the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
At the end of the show yesterday, the time waste
was pet celebrities and one of you did to Barack Olama.
Suddenly I remembered in the early days of the show.
Back in the first year of the show in twenty nineteen,
I got an email from one of you about Alama.
The story about this lama in Fitzroy. Guy called Brian
emailed me saying that a friend of his, Paul, claims
(05:25):
that once he was walking in Fitzroy after work one
day and was asked to hold the lead of someone's
pet lama. Was the owner ran in to pick up
a coffee and he said that the lama had a
tag around its neck and its full name was barack
O Lama. So we were hoping to find out more
about this, because if you've seen that or you know
that in liver Oil, North Melbourne, you'd know what we're
(05:47):
talking about. But that's where it went completely cold. Yesterday
after the show, I put two of radio's finest investigative
reporters on this very much, ur Bernstein and Woodward producers
Kaitlin and Ria. Perhaps you could pick up the act here, Kaylin.
So what did you do yesterday?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Alrighty, So we were lucky enough to get an email
from a woman called Kathy Lee who had a tip off.
She said, there's a larma called Barack Olama at the
Big Goose Farm in Moor and Duck in Barnington Peninsula.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh wow, So what it's retired now? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's the question.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Is it the same one? Then I emailed the Big
Goose Farm at one thirteen pm and I said to them, Hi,
my name's Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm a producer from Why do you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Went to one thirteen? The show ends at nine am.
I know you guys like to go for a little
walk to like coffee. The other day after I left her,
Jackie like ten am, I'm walking out of the radio
station train station I see for the producers just on
some day trips somewhere or waving at me. I'm like
that the office is back that way, do some work.
They were getting out there at Boss ten Orf for
(06:53):
a little breakfast. Where are you going to the train station? No, no,
looking for content. I'm riding that train line like a hobo. Yeah.
I went to Bendigo looking for content. You wait, I
get my Bendigo tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
We do.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we got the Bendigo Hour. Trust me, I've got
some hot content from the Bendigos. One thirteen okay, one
thirteen on your way out. You just fire off an
email to the Big Goose Farm.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, also investigative journalists, I imagine on the phone, tell
me where are he is?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah? Emails so like yeah, when nine am one thirteen,
four hours later, Oh what was he going on about
this morning? And we've had brunch ofn't we all right?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Where we go for lunch? In a minute?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Like, did in fact try and call the Big Goose Farm?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And yeah, yeah, I wouldn't see your phone logs. No,
I'm going to investigate your investigators.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Dire close Monday and Tuesday. So I had to email option,
but I did put it as high importance on the email.
So at one thirteen I email, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Get the eyeballs of the Big Goose one A jump in.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Introduced myself and then I said to them, look, this
is a bit random. Radio is random.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We are looking for excuse me.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Don't what I mean lowballing me like that? No, it
was kind of like you know the English guy, you know,
his head's all over the place.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Something from this is high importance.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's random. It's some ship, amount of donkey or something.
Dave the donkeysy there.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Can you listen to the podcast and give me a reply,
and then hit off the out of office reply.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
At one fourteen.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Pm, I said, we're on a mission and we are trying.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
To track slow mission. It four hours to get even
an email sent.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And I said, by any chance to Nixon.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Would have got away scott free if you two were
on the case. Ten years later, we fired off an email.
I was very busy during the day, but this is
very high important.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I said, do you have on know of alama by
the name of Barack Olama. We're hoping we've come to
the right place. Get back to me as soon as possible.
This is very important. At four fifty five.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Pm, you sent another email. Oh so another bomb.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Burning day, an email from the Big Goose Farm. Hi, Caitlin,
you have absolutely come to the right place.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Not only do we wow.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Barack Olama, but we also have Michelle Olama.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And so did you find out if it's the lama
that used to walk around Fitzroy?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I have not found that out yet.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
However, they said we could give them a call, So
I'm happy to give him a call asap.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And you want me to call him up on the
show to go?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is that is it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
The lama from Fitzroy, that's your job to do that.
Why they go, We don't know where they came from.
They've been there a while.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Well, he didn't send me his number, so I couldn't
call him at that time, so I emailed him back.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Just now you said to me, Hey, listen, Rio and
I put a lot of work into this. You can
need Rio's my cup as well. What's hold mate? Done it? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
The plot dickens.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Hang on, let me play some come back because this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Is hi drama, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well are you excited? I am so excited. Producer Rio there,
what a cliffhanger? Has promised us a thick plot here?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
The plot dickens.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh yeah, the plot until now has been watery and
super Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Wait, it's good about get very.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Audious cordials here, weak cordio.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Now it's going to be reduced to a delicious thick sauce.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, So if you just tuned in, then yesterday
we were talking about the urban legend of barack O
Lama cited around Fitzroy. We want to know is as
true that there was a lama that someone walk around
on a lead called barack O Lama? Yesterday to Lukewarm.
Emails were rushed off by the so called investigative double
act or producer Caitlin and Rio, and all you got
(10:54):
was one back saying it, actually they do have down
in the morning to Peninsula Barack Olama with his wife
Michelle Obama.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Correct, no confirmation if they're out Fitzroy Lava No confirmation, No,
but I can call them soon.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So you had to all go yesterday, and all we've
got now is half a lead.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
It's not exactly front page.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So basically you're now just going you do the work
on the show, you call them, find out, you do
the reporter.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
It's just I had a lot of trouble getting into
contact with the just a bit slow on email because
they're closed Monday Tuesday. But I can absolutely get it
and we will have an email.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Where's that plot thickening? All I'm hearing is the BS
At the moment.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
The front page headline was like president impeach. I think
I got to call them, can't getting hold of the president.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
So we need to find whether or not Barack Olama
is in Fitzroy. Now I could go to Fitzroy Pound
the pavement, but I'm just wait you.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Want me and Jack to do that? You want me
to call everyone in Fitzroy.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I'm just one man.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Why is the power of one man when you can
use the power of twelve and a half thousand people
on the Fitzroy Neighborhood Network Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This is now.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
This is good work, smarter, not harder.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
So I requested my admission into the group at ten
three am.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Did you give yourself a username?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I used the show account.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Really under deep color the question O'Connell show gold f
six tonight. Wow, that's so smart.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
You had to actually answer a series of questions about
Fitzroy to get admission into the group.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That's how we got to our suburbs one group.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, no, what street is the provincial hotel? And I
had to google it?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Eventually I got through at one twelve pm. I then posted,
hey guys, we're a radio show and had a listener
this morning tell us about a pet lama in Fitzroy
called Barack Olama.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
We can't seem to find much about it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is it real?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Does anyone have any hot leads? Thanks for your help now.
That was at one point thirty did not get approved
for six hours. I was worried we were maybe being blackboard,
we were getting too close to the truth. They were
trying to silence us. Some responses came in Dominic, A
lot of jokesters. I gotta say, I think someone pulled
(13:20):
the wool over your eyes, was the first comment, Tom,
fake news again, a lot of silencing, someone saying maybe
check the Collingwood Children's farm.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But then it gets very thick.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
A breakthrough anonymous member four five three, Yes, exclamation mark,
it's owned by Al and his lovely family.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Who's hell he's on the line. Now, No, that's not
want that.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We're still working on our but we have a name.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So in twenty two hours, two emails, well, no, sorry,
two emails, a chat room got fired up, and now
all we've got is owl.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, hell of a lot closer.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We are.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We're not a hell of a lot closer. We're a
tiny eenie lean a bit closer to owl. Do you
know an owl of Fitzroy?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yes, that would be a good starting point, but we'll
take any owls at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Who had or still has a pet lama?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yes, ideally, what do you mean ideally, Well, I start
at any owls.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Exactly, just talking to ol.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Well, can't take a week and get at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
A right, so any our calling so we can discontinue
you or discount you from Fitzroy exactly right, Okay, where
would you hold Homer a lama in Fitzroy? Space is
at a premium there. You can't be a rental because
landres maybe a counter but bloody gate Lama. It can't
be upstairs and say they don't like going upstairs or downstairs,
(14:55):
and the same thing because they haven't got haven't got
any knees. Have you ever seen a cow curtsy or
anything like that? They can't They got no neede. Same
with lamas.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
No, it's true the cows maybe they have similar something.
Don't want to go down?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah right, yeah right, I mean yeah, not helpful, but well.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's not people living in glasshouses should't go stones, my friend.
I'll tell you what. It's not helpful. Sod all and
just like are you ow cool?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Now? The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
This week, producers Rio and Kitlin are trying to wrap
up the case once and for all about the urban
legend true force of Barack Lama, the lama that apparently
people have seen around Fitzroy. Yesterday, when they're reported on
their first twenty four hours investigating this, they're essentially got nowhere.
So hopefully today more information is coming. Already are you
(15:52):
feeling nerves in the studio because Rio said, do not
come to me. In other words, this is someone who's
smartly about to throw producer k then under the wheels
of the bus. And then those do not expeact conclusions. Ah,
just Katan, please pick up the trail here what have
you found?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Look, it actually is a huge breakthrough.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
We've got an answer and it's from the Big Goose
farm down in Mornington. Brett, the general manager, has left
us a voicemail.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oka, listen a Christian.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
It is bred here from the Big Goose on the
Mornington Peninsula. Here you're looking for a Baraqo Lama. We
do in fact have a Barack Olama with a Michelle
Olama and their children. Unfortunately, though, I don't think that
it is the Fitzroy Barack Olama that you have been
searching for. Barack has been with us for about seven
(16:42):
years and he has spent the entire time in Muradak
down with us. Wish you guys the best of luck
hunting for your Barack Olama. I'm sure they probably stole
the name for us. I reckon, we've got the original Barack.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Olama dead end.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, so but are you chipping in now?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
There is there is we have like a little flickering
ember of hope. I then said, okay, maybe that's the
Mornington Barack Olama. We need the Fitzroy a man walking
a lama in Fitzroy.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Remembering what we discussed, falm is not worth doing radiation
and the hours you put into this.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
So I'm narrowing it down to Fitzroy. There needs to
be somewhere you can keep a lama in Fitzroy. So
I go to the Lama Owner's Handbook, which is.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
A real thing.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You're kidding.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
No, there's a lama's an official lama's owner's handbook, and
it says you need at least an acre per lama.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Well, so then I zoom out. I get an aerial
map of Fitzroy. What can I find? There's no spare acres.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
In the for more money than literally just housing your
pet lama.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
The only place I could find Collingwood Children's Farm just
next to it. I give them a call. Have you
had a lama called Baraka Lama? Or just any lamas
that maybe someone might have taken for a walk from
the farm. No, lama's not even in twenty nineteen, she said,
But we do have sheep.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, it's not a tree, you know. Then, and this guy,
don't forget where this story came from, says that this
guy asked him to hold his pet lama in Fitzroy
while he went to get a coffee. And he looked
at the name tag on the sarma and it set
Barack Olama.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yes, no way that that's a sheep. And he's mistaken.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, it's got to be at Sutter Squat Animals.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Then I'm sent a video by someone from the Facebook
group that I posted in yesterday of a.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Man walking a lama down a street.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I pause.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I see a phone number in the shop like in
the what's it called? Like the in the background the background?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I call that number?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Wow, done, this is good work.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It is a tile store in Tasmania. Unfortunately, so it's
not that lama.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I feel like I'm chasing a go Could he have
got on the spirit?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did you call the tile place in Tasmania to ask
them have they ever seen a pet lama being walked
around there?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I just said where are you and they said we're
in Tasmania.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I said, there's not much to text Tasmania. So there
it says.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
So I feel like I'm chasing ghosts. Does this actual
thing exist?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I email Brian, who's the original email started all this.
He was told by his friend, is this just a rumor?
Is this just some bs that they've made up?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Is his friend a liar?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
His friend now lives in Geelong. He has asked his
wife if I can have his number so I can check.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
To the source. So the original spots are of this.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
That's just where we're at at the moment on more day.
So I need an extension.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, I tell you what you also need. Right, You
are someone who's very competitive. You like to win.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I do and I always do.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And I know that the weekend it hurt. You were
beaten by a small child in a tennis tournament. I
think it is. It is because when someone's been beaten
sometimes they go on a streak of losers because they
don't mentally they've been beaten as much as physically.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yes, I was beaten by a sixteen year old on
Sunday at.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
A test tournament. He was and you're a grown ass,
big strong man, small wheat child.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I think there's some sort of prodigy.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
The pain middle Age in Australia for the next couple
of dodgy.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Tournament was where child plays a grown ass man.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
This is a real tournament.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So this is hurting you, yes, of course. Okay, So
do you want to win? You want to solve this one? Win? Okay,
you need a win. Now. Tomorrow we're going out for
a really nice lunch. We're going to Lamarro's Paths. We've
booked it. This is a place where on Sunday night,
this is where the AFL had hired to have the
AFL and the Captain's lunch. It's a gas Stroe pub.
(20:48):
But in showburs there's a phrase there's no such thing
as a free lunch, and so you know this is
a place where the captains were, you know, not the
sort of underlings and people like you were on there.
So Pat, yes, one hundred percent, you're a captain okay,
oh okay, yeah, okay, so it can be there as well,
(21:08):
thank you. Question cRIO. At the moment, there's a question
mark whether you are at that captain's table, because at
the there's a smell of a loss about you. Beaten
by a ten year old small child at a tennis
taller and now you can't even track down a lama.
Rio from twenty twenty four would have nailed us within
an hour. I think you're a little bit a bit
(21:29):
fumbly and mumbly. Okay, So at the moment to anyone
proposing what are you proposing, I think it's fair to
say there's no lunch unless you sold this case for anyone. No, no, no, no,
we'll be there, We will be there. Okay, So we're
literally the States. They've got a nice porterhouse up for grabs.
(21:49):
I've got my eyes a looks bututiful. So you'd want
to have a winner's lunch. And I want to cut
your steak up for you as you tell me the
details of Barack Obama once and for.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
All I get to the bottom of this case. Will
you cut my steak first?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I beat it to you. Do we have a deal?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Is It fact or Is It myth? In twenty nineteen,
this show got a story, a rumored story about a
lama scene being walked by its owner in Fitzroy that
had around us call her a name tag that you
count a dog might have that said Barack oh Lama.
Many times we tried to find out is this actually
true or is it some kind of urban legend. The
(22:37):
story came back around many years later on Monday Show
and I put Rio, one of our sharpest minds on
the team, onto the case. I'll be honest, we got nowhere. Sorry,
he got nowhere real quick. Shabby emails were fired off,
chat rooms were logged into try and find out information
(22:57):
controlled online. Essentially he did. And I don't think the
fact that at the weekend, Rio, who is a man,
got beaten by a sixteen year old child in a
tennis tournament, and I think mentally it made you weak.
I think it shattered that swagger, that confidence you have.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Very happy that you've beaten by a tennis prodigy and.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Playing in a tournament in Bentley. I don't think you're
going to find the next future style Grand Slam winner
that he is.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Where heroes are born Christian speaking of heroes.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Now, which is also said, there's an incentive for Rio
because Rio is a competitive man by nature, and the
team very excited. We're going out for lunch today to
a place called Lamarro's. Lamarro's is the place where all
the AFL captains, all eighteen captains went on Sunday night
for big pow wow and a bite to eat. We're
all going there. Rio has to earn his lunch. Give
(23:49):
us the truth. I'll give you your steak and I
will personally cut it up however you like.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And I believe not just cut it up, but you
will also feed it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Correct. I forgot about that, Okay, bye, and the Fagazi
of the show, I forgot about that, but yes, I
will do that if you give me the truth. Finally,
about Barak o Lama. What have you found out? All right?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
The latest update before today was that I really I
felt like I was chasing a ghost. It felt like
it was a complete myth that Barack Alama did not exist.
Everywhere we looked, there was nothing to find. We then
get a hot tip from Rick, a listener who says,
go on the Reddit thread because apparently there is a
white Lama that has been spotted in Melbourne, which is
(24:29):
as close as we've gotten. I have since made a
wanted poster because I was getting nowhere.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Turn this around. Before midday today, this is the efforts
of a desperate man is saying? Is it saying wanted lunch?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Wanted?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Have you seen this local lama? We would love to
meet him. Please text any info. I then, in the
thirty six degree heat yesterday pounded the pavements.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Actually put the wanted post yesterday.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I have put about ten to twelve wanted posters up
around Fitzroy.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
This is great work.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Begging for information because you've got to go to the source.
I was trying online. That wasn't the way.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I'm on the streets of Fitzroy, Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street,
amongst the hipsters.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Please help me find this lama. We then get a text.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I can now start to triangulate Barack Olama's location. Edwina
b Hi, I saw a guy walking a lama called Meatball.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Not so this is a text response to the wanted poster.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
He's already working, already working in Sint Kilda near Lunar Park.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
A few years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yesterday we had a science in Sint Kilda as well.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yes, this one near Lunar Park.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Maybe she said that it was near Fitzroy Street in
Saint Kilda, which is Maybe Street.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Maybe that got lost in communication.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
He saw it in fitz Yes, we also got a
hot tip.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
R M I T University at White Lama has been
seen and at Preston Markets, so we know that there
is a white Lama ranging good.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
The steak knife is being warmed up as.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
North as Preston, as south as Saint Kilda, as central
as r M I t University. Within those boundaries, there
is a white Lama. I cannot confirm if it is
Barack Olama, but how many white Lamas can there be
in Melbourne?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's going to be the one real If I am drawing,
I'm drawing Saint Kilda, r M I T in the
city Preston. You put all those together. What's bang in
the middle, Fitzroy, what is bang in the middle of
all those locations is increased.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Homes. You've done it, and I think you have to
cut up your steak. I'm cutting it out. I'm cutting
it out. I'll see you at last. You just made
your way to the Captain's table.
Speaker 2 (26:59):

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Ringing bell.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
We'll have to go into the show archives after this
he was a man who walked his.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Lama through the streets of fitzro That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Someone will know something about this right now, about Alama
in North Melbourne. I think Fitzroy called Barack Olama.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Now such as Barack Olama. I was right. We have
talked about whether or not this is factual fiction about
Alama in North Melbourne called Barack Olama. And I found
the original email from twenty nineteen first year of the show,
twenty fourth of July twenty nineteen from a guy called
Brian maguire Christian, I need to sell you to set
on an argument. A few years ago, my best mate
(03:50):
Poll emigrated to Melbourne from Scotland. He's now living in Geneal.
He's back in Scotland for a few week visiting family
and we found ourselves having a few beers. Asked him
about what life up and was like and he was
saying what a diverse and dynamic city is and he
also said that Australians are mad and that he claims that.
Whilst walking once in an area called Fitzroy after work,
he was asked to hold the lead to someone's pet
(04:12):
lama whilst the owner went to get a coffee in
a coffee shop. This was clearly met with cynicism from
US Scots. We don't know what a vegetable looks like,
levermind someone who takes her lama for a walk. He
swears it's true, not just that that when he was
chatting with the only when it came back with the coffee,
that the lama was called Barack o Lama? Christian, are
there locals walking around Melbourne with lama's on leeds, parents
(04:35):
and shoulders and snakes around the next? Is that what
accunts for a hipster in North Melbourne? I can't remember
what we found out about the legend. I think is
it still hanging out? There's a question. Yes, all these
years later, in twenty twenty five, we still haven't got
any closer to the truth about Barack oh Lama. If
anyone's got anything to say about that, please email me today,
(04:58):
Christian at Christian O'Connor dot com.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
They the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
At the end of the show yesterday, the time waste
was pet celebrities and one of you did to Barack Olama.
Suddenly I remembered in the early days of the show.
Back in the first year of the show in twenty nineteen,
I got an email from one of you about Alama.
The story about this lama in Fitzroy. Guy called Brian
emailed me saying that a friend of his, Paul, claims
(05:25):
that once he was walking in Fitzroy after work one
day and was asked to hold the lead of someone's
pet lama. Was the owner ran in to pick up
a coffee and he said that the lama had a
tag around its neck and its full name was barack
O Lama. So we were hoping to find out more
about this, because if you've seen that or you know
that in liver Oil, North Melbourne, you'd know what we're
(05:47):
talking about. But that's where it went completely cold. Yesterday
after the show, I put two of radio's finest investigative
reporters on this very much, ur Bernstein and Woodward producers
Kaitlin and Ria. Perhaps you could pick up the act here, Kaylin.
So what did you do yesterday?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Alrighty, So we were lucky enough to get an email
from a woman called Kathy Lee who had a tip off.
She said, there's a larma called Barack Olama at the
Big Goose Farm in Moor and Duck in Barnington Peninsula.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh wow, So what it's retired now? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's the question.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Is it the same one? Then I emailed the Big
Goose Farm at one thirteen pm and I said to them, Hi,
my name's Caitlin.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm a producer from Why do you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Went to one thirteen? The show ends at nine am.
I know you guys like to go for a little
walk to like coffee. The other day after I left her,
Jackie like ten am, I'm walking out of the radio
station train station I see for the producers just on
some day trips somewhere or waving at me. I'm like
that the office is back that way, do some work.
They were getting out there at Boss ten Orf for
(06:53):
a little breakfast. Where are you going to the train station? No, no,
looking for content. I'm riding that train line like a hobo. Yeah.
I went to Bendigo looking for content. You wait, I
get my Bendigo tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
We do.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we got the Bendigo Hour. Trust me, I've got
some hot content from the Bendigos. One thirteen okay, one
thirteen on your way out. You just fire off an
email to the Big Goose Farm.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, also investigative journalists, I imagine on the phone, tell
me where are he is?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah? Emails so like yeah, when nine am one thirteen,
four hours later, Oh what was he going on about
this morning? And we've had brunch ofn't we all right?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Where we go for lunch? In a minute?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Like, did in fact try and call the Big Goose Farm?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And yeah, yeah, I wouldn't see your phone logs. No,
I'm going to investigate your investigators.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Dire close Monday and Tuesday. So I had to email option,
but I did put it as high importance on the email.
So at one thirteen I email, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Get the eyeballs of the Big Goose one A jump in.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Introduced myself and then I said to them, look, this
is a bit random. Radio is random.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
We are looking for excuse me.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Don't what I mean lowballing me like that? No, it
was kind of like you know the English guy, you know,
his head's all over the place.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Something from this is high importance.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It's random. It's some ship, amount of donkey or something.
Dave the donkeysy there.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Can you listen to the podcast and give me a reply,
and then hit off the out of office reply.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
At one fourteen.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Pm, I said, we're on a mission and we are trying.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
To track slow mission. It four hours to get even
an email sent.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
And I said, by any chance to Nixon.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Would have got away scott free if you two were
on the case. Ten years later, we fired off an email.
I was very busy during the day, but this is
very high important.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I said, do you have on know of alama by
the name of Barack Olama. We're hoping we've come to
the right place. Get back to me as soon as possible.
This is very important. At four fifty five.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Pm, you sent another email. Oh so another bomb.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Burning day, an email from the Big Goose Farm. Hi, Caitlin,
you have absolutely come to the right place.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Not only do we wow.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Barack Olama, but we also have Michelle Olama.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
And so did you find out if it's the lama
that used to walk around Fitzroy?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I have not found that out yet.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
However, they said we could give them a call, So
I'm happy to give him a call asap.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And you want me to call him up on the
show to go?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Is that is it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
The lama from Fitzroy, that's your job to do that.
Why they go, We don't know where they came from.
They've been there a while.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Well, he didn't send me his number, so I couldn't
call him at that time, so I emailed him back.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Just now you said to me, Hey, listen, Rio and
I put a lot of work into this. You can
need Rio's my cup as well. What's hold mate? Done it? Well?
Speaker 4 (10:02):
The plot dickens.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Hang on, let me play some come back because this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Is hi drama, the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well are you excited? I am so excited. Producer Rio there,
what a cliffhanger? Has promised us a thick plot here?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
The plot dickens.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh yeah, the plot until now has been watery and
super Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Wait, it's good about get very.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Audious cordials here, weak cordio.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Now it's going to be reduced to a delicious thick sauce.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, So if you just tuned in, then yesterday
we were talking about the urban legend of barack O
Lama cited around Fitzroy. We want to know is as
true that there was a lama that someone walk around
on a lead called barack O Lama? Yesterday to Lukewarm.
Emails were rushed off by the so called investigative double
act or producer Caitlin and Rio, and all you got
(10:54):
was one back saying it, actually they do have down
in the morning to Peninsula Barack Olama with his wife
Michelle Obama.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Correct, no confirmation if they're out Fitzroy Lava No confirmation, No,
but I can call them soon.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So you had to all go yesterday, and all we've
got now is half a lead.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
It's not exactly front page.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So basically you're now just going you do the work
on the show, you call them, find out, you do
the reporter.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
It's just I had a lot of trouble getting into
contact with the just a bit slow on email because
they're closed Monday Tuesday. But I can absolutely get it
and we will have an email.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Where's that plot thickening? All I'm hearing is the BS
At the moment.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
The front page headline was like president impeach. I think
I got to call them, can't getting hold of the president.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
So we need to find whether or not Barack Olama
is in Fitzroy. Now I could go to Fitzroy Pound
the pavement, but I'm just wait you.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Want me and Jack to do that? You want me
to call everyone in Fitzroy.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I'm just one man.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Why is the power of one man when you can
use the power of twelve and a half thousand people
on the Fitzroy Neighborhood Network Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
This is now.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
This is good work, smarter, not harder.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
So I requested my admission into the group at ten
three am.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Did you give yourself a username?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I used the show account.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Really under deep color the question O'Connell show gold f
six tonight. Wow, that's so smart.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
You had to actually answer a series of questions about
Fitzroy to get admission into the group.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That's how we got to our suburbs one group.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, no, what street is the provincial hotel? And I
had to google it?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Eventually I got through at one twelve pm. I then posted,
hey guys, we're a radio show and had a listener
this morning tell us about a pet lama in Fitzroy
called Barack Olama.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
We can't seem to find much about it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Is it real?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Does anyone have any hot leads? Thanks for your help now.
That was at one point thirty did not get approved
for six hours. I was worried we were maybe being blackboard,
we were getting too close to the truth. They were
trying to silence us. Some responses came in Dominic, A
lot of jokesters. I gotta say, I think someone pulled
(13:20):
the wool over your eyes, was the first comment, Tom,
fake news again, a lot of silencing, someone saying maybe
check the Collingwood Children's farm.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But then it gets very thick.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
A breakthrough anonymous member four five three, Yes, exclamation mark,
it's owned by Al and his lovely family.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Who's hell he's on the line. Now, No, that's not
want that.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
We're still working on our but we have a name.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So in twenty two hours, two emails, well, no, sorry,
two emails, a chat room got fired up, and now
all we've got is owl.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, hell of a lot closer.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
We are.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We're not a hell of a lot closer. We're a
tiny eenie lean a bit closer to owl. Do you
know an owl of Fitzroy?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yes, that would be a good starting point, but we'll
take any owls at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Who had or still has a pet lama?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yes, ideally, what do you mean ideally, Well, I start
at any owls.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Exactly, just talking to ol.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Well, can't take a week and get at this point.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
A right, so any our calling so we can discontinue
you or discount you from Fitzroy exactly right, Okay, where
would you hold Homer a lama in Fitzroy? Space is
at a premium there. You can't be a rental because
landres maybe a counter but bloody gate Lama. It can't
be upstairs and say they don't like going upstairs or downstairs,
(14:55):
and the same thing because they haven't got haven't got
any knees. Have you ever seen a cow curtsy or
anything like that? They can't They got no neede. Same
with lamas.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
No, it's true the cows maybe they have similar something.
Don't want to go down?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah right, yeah right, I mean yeah, not helpful, but well.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
That's not people living in glasshouses should't go stones, my friend.
I'll tell you what. It's not helpful. Sod all and
just like are you ow cool?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Now? The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
This week, producers Rio and Kitlin are trying to wrap
up the case once and for all about the urban
legend true force of Barack Lama, the lama that apparently
people have seen around Fitzroy. Yesterday, when they're reported on
their first twenty four hours investigating this, they're essentially got nowhere.
So hopefully today more information is coming. Already are you
(15:52):
feeling nerves in the studio because Rio said, do not
come to me. In other words, this is someone who's
smartly about to throw producer k then under the wheels
of the bus. And then those do not expeact conclusions. Ah,
just Katan, please pick up the trail here what have
you found?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Look, it actually is a huge breakthrough.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
We've got an answer and it's from the Big Goose
farm down in Mornington. Brett, the general manager, has left
us a voicemail.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oka, listen a Christian.
Speaker 7 (16:22):
It is bred here from the Big Goose on the
Mornington Peninsula. Here you're looking for a Baraqo Lama. We
do in fact have a Barack Olama with a Michelle
Olama and their children. Unfortunately, though, I don't think that
it is the Fitzroy Barack Olama that you have been
searching for. Barack has been with us for about seven
(16:42):
years and he has spent the entire time in Muradak
down with us. Wish you guys the best of luck
hunting for your Barack Olama. I'm sure they probably stole
the name for us. I reckon, we've got the original Barack.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Olama dead end.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, so but are you chipping in now?
Speaker 5 (17:00):
There is there is we have like a little flickering
ember of hope. I then said, okay, maybe that's the
Mornington Barack Olama. We need the Fitzroy a man walking
a lama in Fitzroy.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Remembering what we discussed, falm is not worth doing radiation
and the hours you put into this.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
So I'm narrowing it down to Fitzroy. There needs to
be somewhere you can keep a lama in Fitzroy. So
I go to the Lama Owner's Handbook, which is.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
A real thing.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You're kidding.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
No, there's a lama's an official lama's owner's handbook, and
it says you need at least an acre per lama.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Well, so then I zoom out. I get an aerial
map of Fitzroy. What can I find? There's no spare acres.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
In the for more money than literally just housing your
pet lama.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
The only place I could find Collingwood Children's Farm just
next to it. I give them a call. Have you
had a lama called Baraka Lama? Or just any lamas
that maybe someone might have taken for a walk from
the farm. No, lama's not even in twenty nineteen, she said,
But we do have sheep.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
No, it's not a tree, you know. Then, and this guy,
don't forget where this story came from, says that this
guy asked him to hold his pet lama in Fitzroy
while he went to get a coffee. And he looked
at the name tag on the sarma and it set
Barack Olama.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yes, no way that that's a sheep. And he's mistaken.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
No, it's got to be at Sutter Squat Animals.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Then I'm sent a video by someone from the Facebook
group that I posted in yesterday of a.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Man walking a lama down a street.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I pause.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I see a phone number in the shop like in
the what's it called? Like the in the background the background?
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I call that number?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Wow, done, this is good work.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It is a tile store in Tasmania. Unfortunately, so it's
not that lama.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I feel like I'm chasing a go Could he have
got on the spirit?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Did you call the tile place in Tasmania to ask
them have they ever seen a pet lama being walked
around there?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I just said where are you and they said we're
in Tasmania.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I said, there's not much to text Tasmania. So there
it says.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
So I feel like I'm chasing ghosts. Does this actual
thing exist?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
I email Brian, who's the original email started all this.
He was told by his friend, is this just a rumor?
Is this just some bs that they've made up?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Is his friend a liar?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Exactly?
Speaker 5 (19:25):
His friend now lives in Geelong. He has asked his
wife if I can have his number so I can check.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
To the source. So the original spots are of this.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
That's just where we're at at the moment on more day.
So I need an extension.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, I tell you what you also need. Right, You
are someone who's very competitive. You like to win.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I do and I always do.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And I know that the weekend it hurt. You were
beaten by a small child in a tennis tournament. I
think it is. It is because when someone's been beaten
sometimes they go on a streak of losers because they
don't mentally they've been beaten as much as physically.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yes, I was beaten by a sixteen year old on
Sunday at.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
A test tournament. He was and you're a grown ass,
big strong man, small wheat child.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I think there's some sort of prodigy.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
The pain middle Age in Australia for the next couple
of dodgy.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Tournament was where child plays a grown ass man.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
This is a real tournament.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So this is hurting you, yes, of course. Okay, So
do you want to win? You want to solve this one? Win? Okay,
you need a win. Now. Tomorrow we're going out for
a really nice lunch. We're going to Lamarro's Paths. We've
booked it. This is a place where on Sunday night,
this is where the AFL had hired to have the
AFL and the Captain's lunch. It's a gas Stroe pub.
(20:48):
But in showburs there's a phrase there's no such thing
as a free lunch, and so you know this is
a place where the captains were, you know, not the
sort of underlings and people like you were on there.
So Pat, yes, one hundred percent, you're a captain okay,
oh okay, yeah, okay, so it can be there as well,
(21:08):
thank you. Question cRIO. At the moment, there's a question
mark whether you are at that captain's table, because at
the there's a smell of a loss about you. Beaten
by a ten year old small child at a tennis
taller and now you can't even track down a lama.
Rio from twenty twenty four would have nailed us within
an hour. I think you're a little bit a bit
(21:29):
fumbly and mumbly. Okay, So at the moment to anyone
proposing what are you proposing, I think it's fair to
say there's no lunch unless you sold this case for anyone. No, no, no, no,
we'll be there, We will be there. Okay, So we're
literally the States. They've got a nice porterhouse up for grabs.
(21:49):
I've got my eyes a looks bututiful. So you'd want
to have a winner's lunch. And I want to cut
your steak up for you as you tell me the
details of Barack Obama once and for.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
All I get to the bottom of this case. Will
you cut my steak first?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I beat it to you. Do we have a deal?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Is It fact or Is It myth? In twenty nineteen,
this show got a story, a rumored story about a
lama scene being walked by its owner in Fitzroy that
had around us call her a name tag that you
count a dog might have that said Barack oh Lama.
Many times we tried to find out is this actually
true or is it some kind of urban legend. The
(22:37):
story came back around many years later on Monday Show
and I put Rio, one of our sharpest minds on
the team, onto the case. I'll be honest, we got nowhere. Sorry,
he got nowhere real quick. Shabby emails were fired off,
chat rooms were logged into try and find out information
(22:57):
controlled online. Essentially he did. And I don't think the
fact that at the weekend, Rio, who is a man,
got beaten by a sixteen year old child in a
tennis tournament, and I think mentally it made you weak.
I think it shattered that swagger, that confidence you have.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Very happy that you've beaten by a tennis prodigy and.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Playing in a tournament in Bentley. I don't think you're
going to find the next future style Grand Slam winner
that he is.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Where heroes are born Christian speaking of heroes.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Now, which is also said, there's an incentive for Rio
because Rio is a competitive man by nature, and the
team very excited. We're going out for lunch today to
a place called Lamarro's. Lamarro's is the place where all
the AFL captains, all eighteen captains went on Sunday night
for big pow wow and a bite to eat. We're
all going there. Rio has to earn his lunch. Give
(23:49):
us the truth. I'll give you your steak and I
will personally cut it up however you like.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
And I believe not just cut it up, but you
will also feed it.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Correct. I forgot about that, Okay, bye, and the Fagazi
of the show, I forgot about that, but yes, I
will do that if you give me the truth. Finally,
about Barak o Lama. What have you found out? All right?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
The latest update before today was that I really I
felt like I was chasing a ghost. It felt like
it was a complete myth that Barack Alama did not exist.
Everywhere we looked, there was nothing to find. We then
get a hot tip from Rick, a listener who says,
go on the Reddit thread because apparently there is a
white Lama that has been spotted in Melbourne, which is
(24:29):
as close as we've gotten. I have since made a
wanted poster because I was getting nowhere.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Turn this around. Before midday today, this is the efforts
of a desperate man is saying? Is it saying wanted lunch?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Wanted?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Have you seen this local lama? We would love to
meet him. Please text any info. I then, in the
thirty six degree heat yesterday pounded the pavements.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Actually put the wanted post yesterday.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
I have put about ten to twelve wanted posters up
around Fitzroy.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
This is great work.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Begging for information because you've got to go to the source.
I was trying online. That wasn't the way.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I'm on the streets of Fitzroy, Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street,
amongst the hipsters.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Please help me find this lama. We then get a text.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I can now start to triangulate Barack Olama's location. Edwina
b Hi, I saw a guy walking a lama called Meatball.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Not so this is a text response to the wanted poster.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
He's already working, already working in Sint Kilda near Lunar Park.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
A few years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yesterday we had a science in Sint Kilda as well.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yes, this one near Lunar Park.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Maybe she said that it was near Fitzroy Street in
Saint Kilda, which is Maybe Street.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Maybe that got lost in communication.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
He saw it in fitz Yes, we also got a
hot tip.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
R M I T University at White Lama has been
seen and at Preston Markets, so we know that there
is a white Lama ranging good.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
The steak knife is being warmed up as.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
North as Preston, as south as Saint Kilda, as central
as r M I t University. Within those boundaries, there
is a white Lama. I cannot confirm if it is
Barack Olama, but how many white Lamas can there be
in Melbourne?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's going to be the one real If I am drawing,
I'm drawing Saint Kilda, r M I T in the
city Preston. You put all those together. What's bang in
the middle, Fitzroy, what is bang in the middle of
all those locations is increased.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Homes. You've done it, and I think you have to
cut up your steak. I'm cutting it out. I'm cutting
it out. I'll see you at last. You just made
your way to the Captain's table.
