**Susie O'Neill** (0:18)
Good morning, Paddy.

**Pat Carrigan** (0:20)
Good morning, guys. How are you?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:22)
Good.

**Nick** (0:23)
Last time we had you in here, Paddy, you were rubbing Susie's feet.

**Pat Carrigan** (0:26)
I know. A week's a long time, isn't it?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:29)
It feels like ever ago.

**Nick** (0:30)
It does, doesn't it?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:31)
Sorry about that. We've got another funny question for you today, actually.

**Nick** (0:35)
Yeah, we do.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:35)
I mean, not that it was a question. Go for it. We're doing a thing, Brisbane's Best Bubblers, because I was-

**Nick** (0:40)
Do you want me to play the opener for Paddy? Really?

**Susie O'Neill** (0:43)
We just played that.

**Nick** (0:43)
No, the-

**Susie O'Neill** (0:45)
Brisbane's Best Bubbler.

**Nick** (0:53)
Proceed, Sus.

**Susie O'Neill** (0:54)
Okay, Paddy, we're doing Brisbane's Best Bubbler, because I was out at Mount Couther the other day and I tasted a bubbler, and I remembered how good the water tastes from it. So-

**Pat Carrigan** (1:06)
You're trying to find Brisbane's Best Bubbler. That's right, mate.

**Nick** (1:10)
Yeah.

**Pat Carrigan** (1:11)
It's fascinating.
What's the categories? Well, this is what we want to- Quality of water, stream. Good.

**Nick** (1:17)
Okay. So we've got temperature, Paddy. Is it lukewarm or is it icy cold?
We've got pressure, like how good the stream is. Taste, because Sus likes a bit of metallic taste in her bubblers, which is a bit rare, but that's what it is. Then location, we think location for the bubbler matters.

**Pat Carrigan** (1:39)
Like scenery.

**David Lutteral** (1:40)
Yeah, well, scenery or practicality on a running route. You know what I'm saying?

**Pat Carrigan** (1:45)
See, I'm thinking like New Farm would have a nice bubbler. New Farm Park somewhere around New Farm. I reckon it would too.

**Nick** (1:53)
Yeah.

**Susie O'Neill** (1:53)
Probably close to the Rose section. Yeah.

**Nick** (1:56)
Because, Paddy, do the Broncos bubbler or you guys just got taps there? How's that work at Redhill?

**Pat Carrigan** (2:04)
No, we just got taps at Redhill, so most of the boys are carrying water bottles around. Do you remember a terrace?

**David Lutteral** (2:13)
Did you have a terrace when you were still there? Was it still there?

**Pat Carrigan** (2:16)
Yeah, school bubblers. Yeah, they were all through the school.
And I will agree, there was some that were hooked up electrically, which gave like cold water, which were always popular. Yeah. They were always good. They were nice.

**Susie O'Neill** (2:29)
I'm against those.

**Nick** (2:30)
Yeah, Susie likes the old school stuff, Patty, that metallic taste.

**Pat Carrigan** (2:33)
Yeah. What about the ones that like the dirty water sort of taste?

**Susie O'Neill** (2:37)
I like that. I like that.

**Pat Carrigan** (2:38)
You do? It reminds me of my childhood. Yeah, that's fair.

**Nick** (2:44)
And the black and white goes.

**David Lutteral** (2:45)
Patrick, Susan was saying earlier, she found one yesterday where the pressure was too good. I mean, I don't know how you feel about it, but I want that damn thing hitting the back of my throat at force, if you know what I'm saying.

**Pat Carrigan** (2:57)
H to their own, Lutty.

**Nick** (3:00)
Good do, good dodge bullet. What we're doing now, we've got this thing, Patty, it's going to go on bubbles around Brisbane. It's a sign. It basically says, is this Brisbane's best bubbler? And you can text us on our text line, which is 457 611 69 We're going to be guerrilla marketing, putting these on bubbles around Brissy based off some nominations, Patty.
I don't know, maybe you can get some up nearer for us at Red Hill there. Maybe if we get some nominations bubble at the Broncos HQ.

**Pat Carrigan** (3:26)
Yeah, I'll have to have a look. We do this gap run in preseason. I reckon there's one at the gap, so maybe that might call the feature, but I like that one.

**David Lutteral** (3:35)
I reckon there might be one. I used to do that with our old friend Benny Tio, that gap run. I reckon there might be one at the very end, maybe back at the road. From memory, it was a pretty good one.

**Susie O'Neill** (3:45)
Yeah. Put a sticker on it then.

**Nick** (3:47)
Put a sticker on it, Patty. We're going to give you some stickers for next week, and you can go and start getting these out there.

**David Lutteral** (3:52)
Is there any at Suncorp Stadium?

**Pat Carrigan** (3:53)
That's a good question.

**David Lutteral** (3:54)
At Suncorp, you have to buy waterers, they're bubblers in the, you know, in the whatever you call it in the area.
