For those of you just joining us
live on YouTube and those who
11
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:57,760
will be joining us later on,
Peter is in Australia, I am in
12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,080
Arizona, Mike is in Illinois.
That is the power of technology
13
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,600
in a positive way.
We have traversed the
14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,520
International Dateline for the
first time.
15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,440
And it's, and Peter's living in
the future from what I
16
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,200
understand, it's when we're
recording this, it's, it's 3:00
17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,160
on a Tuesday afternoon in in
America.
18
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,800
What time was it in Australia,
Peter?
19
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,440
It is 8:00 Wednesday morning.
Wow so so let us know what
20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,600
happens between now and tomorrow
morning, because I would like to
21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,000
know I want to know about the
stocks I want to know about what
22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,800
what sports teams have won or
lost.
23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000
I want to know what what I
should invest in right now.
24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,680
So then I reap the benefits
tomorrow.
25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,440
OK.
And then if there's.
26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600
Anything else?
And a $70 million Lotto drawer
27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,720
about maybe 12 hours ago.
OK.
28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,200
And what are those numbers?
Give us the numbers.
29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160
I'll I'll I'll PM them to you.
OK, cool.
30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,640
Because then we'll we'll split
it, man.
31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,800
We'll split it three ways.
Is and is it it's hilarious.
32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Is it Australian money?
It is.
33
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,480
So that's 70 million probably
the difference is we don't pay
34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560
tax on our Lotto wins.
Really, which is the way it
35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,000
should be?
So if you win, 70,000,070
36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,320
million goes into your bank.
OK, So what?
37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Can't tell you how many.
I can't tell you how many
38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,800
people, Peter, that I hear say
if I were going to live anywhere
39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440
else in the world other than the
United States, they all say
40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,400
Australia.
So you guys must do a lot of
41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,440
things right down there.
Yeah, I was dragged over here
42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,200
when I was 12 years old.
I was brought up in England and
43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,880
I wasn't, wasn't impressed to
come over.
44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Dad hated the the cold weather.
He he worked on a ship and loved
45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440
the heat.
So we came over in in 87 for a
46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,680
holiday and then they said we're
moving.
47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280
OK.
So I was brought over in 89 and
48
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,920
yeah, I would, I wouldn't live
anywhere else.
49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Love it.
That's all.
50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Really.
So, so we've heard now from
51
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,200
America, because America, this
is one, this is the question I
52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
wanted to ask you.
So, so Americans, the viewpoint
53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,000
of Australians, right?
And this is sounds so it's
54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,320
usually like when I, when I,
when I think of Australia, I
55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,440
think #1 Crocodile Dundee, OK, I
think of, I think, and this
56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,960
isn't, this isn't me mocking
anybody, but you put another
57
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,800
shrimp on the Bobby, right?
Those are the, those are the two
58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,160
instant things that comes to
mind as an American after
59
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Australia.
That and the fact that you're on
60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,880
the other side of the world,
right?
61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,440
And your, and your toilet water
goes the opposite direction than
62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,960
our water.
I don't know if that's real or
63
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,080
not.
But I was guilty of all that
64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,520
until I, you know, did some
research myself because so many
65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,040
people said they wanted to live
there.
66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800
I'm like, this has to be a great
place.
67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,120
You know, I had the same
initiation to Australia that you
68
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,560
did.
It's silly and everybody over
69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,440
here says the same thing.
But I think he's going to say
70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,880
it's nothing like that.
Well, and this is my question,
71
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,320
what what do Australians think
of Americans in that kind of
72
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,320
context?
Like, do you just think we're
73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160
all arrogant asshole Donald
Trump loving type?
74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,280
You know, from from your
perspective?
75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,360
Yeah, from your perspective.
What do you what?
76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Yeah.
I think Americans in general
77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,760
often don't know much outside of
their own backyard in world,
78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,640
world affairs and geography and
that type of thing.
79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Yeah, there are a lot of people
that think Australia is this
80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,240
tiny backwards hit town, You
know, even though it's a massive
81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:31,120
country, Australians probably
one of the friendliest mobs out
82
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,360
there.
You know, we definitely have our
83
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,320
issues.
There's we don't have guns, you
84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,440
know, there's, there's, there
are guns for people in sporting
85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,480
shooting associations and in on
the land.
86
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,400
But apart from that, we don't
have the worry about guns.
87
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Your police don't carry guns
either.
88
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,960
No, the police do carry guns.
Yeah, so, and if I had to guess,
89
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:05,240
I'd say we probably average
maybe two to three school
90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,360
shooting, school shootings, just
police shootings every year
91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,160
Australia wide.
Two to three in the entire
92
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,280
continent.
Yeah, yeah, there's not a lot.
93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560
So so.
Just so people understand it's a
94
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,240
culture thing though, you know,
so we athletes don't go up to
95
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,280
people in a, in a, in a traffic
stop and think that they're
96
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,040
carrying.
It's, it's an extremely rare
97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,920
thing.
I mean, there is organized crime
98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,520
and that sort of thing.
So, you know, there's, there's
99
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,560
bad players in every country,
but generally it's not too bad.
100
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720
So you you, so you open up the
can of worms about the mob.
101
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Is your mob similar to like the
the American mobsters that, you
102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,000
know, gambling, racketeering,
prostitution, drugs, all that
103
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,760
kind of jazz, Like go over and
take over a city and just, you
104
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,720
know, bring it down into the
absolute, you know, just dregs
105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,720
of society.
Are they more respectful?
106
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,400
A lot of the organised crime is
what we call outlawed bikie
107
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,680
gangs.
So most, most, most one
108
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,680
percenters of the bikie gangs
are outlawed and it's actually
109
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,840
illegal for them to to to band
together and that sort of thing
110
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:22,560
and be found.
And I think it's more than three
111
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,240
people and stuff like that.
So there's a lot of that and
112
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,040
they're the bikie gangs are
probably the most organised
113
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,840
crime over here.
But there's definitely, you
114
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,960
know, Chinese groups and, and,
you know, Lebanese groups and
115
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,800
that sort of thing in different
pockets around the country.
116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,640
OK, let me ask you this, Peter.
From what I understand, and I've
117
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,640
done a moderate amount of
research on Australia because
118
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,120
I'd like to go there one day,
isn't it true that the majority
119
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,880
of the civilized population
lives in a tiny part of a
120
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640
gigantic continent?
Is that not true?
121
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Absolutely, yeah.
No, that is very true.
122
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,640
The the mainly the eastern
seaboard of Australia is your
123
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,120
most populous.
OK.
124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,000
If you know roughly how many
miles is that wide towards what
125
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,080
you guys would call the Outback
or?
126
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,880
Well, see, I'm, so I'm in
Townsville, I live in far North
127
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,040
Queensland.
So for those that know
128
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Australia, you kind of got that
pointy bits at the top right.
129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,120
I'm sort of towards towards the
northern part of there.
130
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,800
But it still probably takes me
another 8 hours to get to the
131
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960
tip.
OK, driving.
132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
And then to get down to
Brisbane, which is the capital
133
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,720
city of the state that I'm in,
is about 1300 kilometres.
134
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,080
Wow.
Then it's about 1000 kilometres
135
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,760
to Sydney and about 1000
kilometres to Melbourne.
136
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,760
So they they're your three major
cities in, in Australia would be
137
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,600
Brisbane, Sydney and and
Melbourne.
138
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,360
And then across on the other
side of the country, which I
139
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,880
think think it's about it's
either 7 or 8000 kilometres over
140
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,480
to Perth.
OK, yeah, people don't realize
141
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Australia is gigantic.
Right.
142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760
So if so, how many?
How many Texas is Australia?
143
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Because Texas is pretty big.
I knew it one time to be honest
144
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,040
with you, I don't want to guess
now.
145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,000
I think it's like, well, I'll
Google it if you got I got one
146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,840
more question.
So explain to the people.
147
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,880
So now we know that everybody
lives on the Eastern seaboard.
148
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,799
As far as civilized society,
what is the rest of the
149
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,480
continent like from like N to
Southeast to West?
150
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Is it all the same or is it
different?
151
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,080
It's different and there are
pockets of people throughout.
152
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,080
There's a lot of mining goes on
in Australia.
153
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,520
So a lot of the Outback, what we
call the Outback towns are, are
154
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640
pretty much around those, those
sort of mines.
155
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,080
And then you get little pockets
and then there's a lot of
156
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,120
indigenous places spread
throughout and they can be.
157
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,560
So the most, most remote place
I've worked is probably a place
158
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:19,040
called Buck Alden.
And that's six hours inland from
159
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:25,080
a medium sized city.
It's an hour and a half from any
160
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,640
clinical backup or, or anything
like that.
161
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Kangaroos are literally sitting
in your front, your front lawn.
162
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Yeah, there's a, there's a lot
of stereotypes that, you know,
163
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,840
we catch Kangaroos to school and
things like that.
164
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
When you're in the Outback
there, there are Kangaroos
165
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,640
sitting in your front yard.
And that's crazy.
166
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Yeah.
Now how?
167
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040
Are those people living?
Are they living in traditional
168
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,760
houses?
Are they living in huts?
169
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Are they poor?
Do they you know what?
170
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,760
What kind of lifestyle are they
living out there?
171
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:04,080
Normal houses, they're normal
city, normal towns, often 1500
172
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,440
people would be, you know,
around 1000 people would be sort
173
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,560
of be a minimum kind of thing.
There's, look, there's, there's
174
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:15,520
definitely indigenous towns that
are, are quite poverty stricken
175
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:22,480
and they, they live a different
lifestyle with, with the, you
176
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,960
know, there's, there's rampant
alcohol problems and crime
177
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,040
problems and that sort of thing.
And that's, that's probably the
178
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,200
biggest ongoing institutional
issue that we have is the
179
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,280
disparity between Indigenous
people and, and, and the common
180
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,880
folk.
So Indigenous people is the
181
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,680
Aborigines, correct?
That's correct.
182
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,720
And then so.
Indigenous, Aboriginal and
183
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,720
Torres Strait Islanders.
OK, so for those that don't
184
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,400
understand that may not truly
grasp the concept of Aborigines
185
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880
or what what's their are they
like the original settlers in
186
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,920
Australia?
Yeah, they've got a history
187
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,360
here, you know, not forgive me
if I misquote times, but they,
188
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,760
they've been here thousands and
thousands of years.
189
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,120
There's rock paintings and stuff
going back a long, long time.
190
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:21,080
And then Australia was basically
taken over in 1788 when Captain
191
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,040
Cook sailed over.
And yeah, and basically there
192
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160
was a mass genocide.
There was a lot of a lot of
193
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,080
people killed.
And then then there was a, you
194
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,920
know, it's a pretty, pretty piss
poor history in dealing with
195
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,560
Indigenous folks.
Didn't the English make it a
196
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:40,560
prison colony for a while?
Yep, that's exactly what who
197
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:46,560
came over in the first fleet was
was it was English convicts and
198
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,640
then they they basically wiped
out indigenous folk left right
199
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
and centre they came with.
All this technology.
200
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Yeah, absolutely.
And then they tried to, then
201
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,880
they tried to breed them out.
They would steal their children.
202
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,360
And yeah, so there was a big
thing called the Stolen
203
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Generation where they would
actually steal children in this.
204
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,560
And we're only talking 70 years
ago, 80 years ago this is this
205
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:17,640
is relatively recent.
The stolen, the stolen
206
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,120
generation, that's what you call
it, yes, I mean, I mean.
207
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,960
And it was literally the
government.
208
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,240
The government would go in and
they would take Indigenous
209
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,440
children an attempt to
assimilate them into white
210
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,920
people's culture and kind of
breed them out.
211
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,440
They weren't they, they, they
fought for us in the World War,
212
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,640
in World War 2, but they weren't
actually classified as citizens.
213
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,240
I think it was until the 70s,
which for me is just, you know,
214
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,480
I'm a, I'm a child of the 70s.
To me, that is so just.
215
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480
It's so foreign to me that that
would even be a thing.
216
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,080
Agreed.
Yeah, we.
217
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Come from the same. 70s yeah, we
come from the 70s too.
218
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400
We're all the same age.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
219
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,360
That's crazy, man.
The I, I, I mean just, I mean,
220
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000
it sounds cheesy, but the stolen
generation that's that's kind of
221
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,080
that's a, that's a unique way to
phrase something if.
222
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,040
We didn't go for a pen and paper
there.
223
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040
I'd be real surprised.
Yeah, the Stolen Generation.
224
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000
I like that too.
Yeah, yeah.
225
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,280
So.
And the, you know, the, the, the
226
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,240
Prime Minister, I think it was
in 2006, I think it was around
227
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,360
there, the, the Prime Minister
actually, it took, it took over
228
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560
50 years for the government to
actually make an official
229
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:32,360
apology.
And governments now are still in
230
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,880
the process of trying to make
reparations or come to
231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,040
agreements on reparations
because there's still people
232
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,280
alive now from the from the
stolen generation.
233
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,240
And it did.
And it's caused multi
234
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,880
generational trauma.
Oh, I don't, yeah, I could see
235
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,840
that because it's it's no
different than if, if that
236
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,200
people come over.
I'm sure you've heard the
237
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,120
nonsense of our border wars and
stuff with especially in
238
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Arizona, like the border wars in
Arizona are more it's it's more
239
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,160
prevalent than than it is in
Texas, than it is in California.
240
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,960
I think.
I don't know why, but but you've
241
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,520
probably heard stories of how
when they come across they
242
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,560
separating the parents and the
kids and things like that.
243
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,120
And you know, so I can't imagine
that at all.
244
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,600
I can't imagine being separated
from my kids and and vice versa.
245
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,200
So trauma for sure.
I could see how that would have
246
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,160
a lasting effect generationally,
right?
247
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,400
Because it's just, you know.
That's why I agree with what
248
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,320
Peter said.
And I always say I'm on team
249
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,840
people, right?
The whole borders and races, and
250
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,400
we're all on this one planet
together, and we all have the
251
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440
same pool of resources, right?
Why can't we just get along, be
252
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,520
cool with each other, do a
podcast, meet a guy like Peter,
253
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,480
have a good time.
You know, I don't understand why
254
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,040
that's so hard.
If you don't like somebody,
255
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,960
don't talk to him.
What does a imaginary line have
256
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,840
to do with anything?
Nothing except for Les Messman's
257
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,200
office in WKRP.
So so Peter, I like your smile.
258
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,400
So you know WKRP.
Did WKRP make it to Australia?
259
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,400
I'll say yes.
Right on and.
260
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,440
Not OK.
OK, well, it was a it was a
261
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,040
sitcom in this in, in the 70s
that was, was, was focused on a
262
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,760
radio station.
And one of the, one of the
263
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,520
characters was Les Nessman, who
was a news reporter.
264
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,680
And he always went in an office,
but he wasn't allowed to have an
265
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,360
office.
So he took duct tape basically,
266
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,640
and duct tape a space on the
floor.
267
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,560
And he wouldn't mind himself
going in and shutting his door,
268
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,840
you know, and somebody just
walked past line, like, wait a
269
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:35,280
minute, Peter, you have to knock
and then you'd back up and, you
270
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,200
know, just they're famous.
The, the most famous scene they
271
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,600
have is is on Thanksgiving, the,
the, the WKRP Turkey drop.
272
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,440
So Les Nessman's on the ground
watching the helicopter above
273
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,960
pushing out the turkeys and
everybody thought they could fly
274
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,600
and they didn't fly.
So it was raining turkeys and
275
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,240
it's just a whole bunch of chaos
and the mob, you know, and the
276
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,760
last, the last gimmick in the,
of the show that episode was was
277
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Mr. Carlson, the station manager
standing there with Herb
278
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Tarlich.
The sales guy is like, you know,
279
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,800
it's God is my witness.
I thought turkeys could fly.
280
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840
It was one of the funniest
American sitcoms that we ever.
281
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,720
Produced.
Yeah, it was great, all the
282
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,280
different.
We get, we get most of the
283
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,200
American sitcoms over here.
We are very, very heavily
284
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,800
influenced by American culture.
So movies as well.
285
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,840
Sorry, Chris.
No, you're good it.
286
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Was a good question.
Movies as well.
287
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Absolutely.
Yeah, OK.
288
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,320
So from from your guys's
standpoint, since you since we
289
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,080
did went to the media thing, do
you guys have like like
290
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,360
obviously Mel Gibson came out of
Australia, the Mad Max trilogy,
291
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,400
original Mad Max trilogy, not
the one, I don't know about the
292
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,320
ones George Mosery doing, but
the original ones were all based
293
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,280
in Australia, correct?
That's correct, yes.
294
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,200
Yeah.
So do you have your own, I don't
295
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,040
know how to like, do you have
your own Hollywood, for lack of
296
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,680
a better question, like in in
Australia where you produce your
297
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,440
own movies and TV shows and that
kind of stuff.
298
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,960
Yeah.
And when, when Trump recently
299
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:17,359
announced that a tariff on
movies produced outside of
300
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,079
Australia, sorry, outside of
America, that could cost us
301
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,040
hundreds and hundreds of
millions of dollars.
302
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,160
The Gold Coast is probably our
number one thing.
303
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,160
Most of the Pirates of the
Caribbean were filmed in
304
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,480
Australia.
Really.
305
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,000
I did not know that.
I didn't know that either.
306
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,160
The Matrix.
The Matrix.
307
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,080
The Matrix was filmed in
Australia.
308
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,200
Really.
A few of them, Yeah.
309
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,680
The Marvels have input.
King Kong though, the Kong
310
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,360
versus gorilla versus Kong that
was made in Australia.
311
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,480
So there's a huge Australian
thing and and especially in a
312
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,160
special.
Effect.
313
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,160
I know that that's crazy that's
good to know So and you've been
314
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,880
you've you 20 years in as a
first responder basically right
315
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,400
Yeah.
So I've been a.
316
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,840
Paramedic for 20 years.
OK, so give.
317
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Us a little insight.
Over here, our system's slightly
318
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,000
different to yours.
Yeah, all our, we have state
319
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,680
based ambulance services and
that's pretty much it.
320
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,200
So and they're not, they're not
ingrained with fire departments
321
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,960
or anything like that.
So, you know, and so to give it
322
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,400
to and we, we are a very large,
very large state.
323
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,240
So I, I used to work as a single
officer.
324
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:37,400
So I would be on call for what I
would do 8 days on six days off
325
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:41,560
with office hours and then be on
call for the rest of the rest of
326
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,120
the time.
So you're pretty much on call
327
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:49,080
for 24 hours a day for 8 days
and you are responding on your
328
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,960
own.
So you may get in some regions
329
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,280
or areas, you might have some
volunteer first responders who
330
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280
will drive your vehicle so that
you can treat in the back.
331
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,600
But yeah, sometimes it can take,
you know, it can be 8090
332
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,960
kilometres down country roads to
get to a place.
333
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,720
You know, it can take an hour,
hour and a half to get somewhere
334
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,120
and then it can take an hour and
a half to get back to a very,
335
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:22,120
you know, something that's very
much a health clinic rather than
336
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:24,960
a hospital.
And then often they have to get
337
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,560
flown via Royal Flying Doctors
Service to to a major tertiary
338
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,720
hospital.
So that sounds like a like a a
339
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,840
potential crisis turning into
death If if it's something.
340
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,080
That's a three hour round trip.
Right, just to get to a health
341
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,160
clinic.
And then if they're severe like
342
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840
let's let's let's let here's so
you see if you can answer this.
343
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,200
I'm sure you can.
So somebody's having a heart
344
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,520
attack, right?
So they call you up, you're 90
345
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,000
minutes away.
You get there, they're still
346
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,560
alive.
Then you do what you can to
347
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,040
stabilize them, I would assume,
right?
348
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,840
And then you drive them back to
90 minutes.
349
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,640
And then if they're still alive
after that three hour total
350
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,480
window plus whatever time they
were suffering from this.
351
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,920
That's somebody who who would
then be flown to a actual
352
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,360
hospital.
Yeah.
353
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,520
So we, we do carry drugs, clot
busting drugs that we are able
354
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840
to give under circumstances that
can clear it.
355
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,560
I mean they're a high risk drug.
We call it Draino for Draino for
356
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,840
the heart.
I don't know if you guys have
357
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,360
Draino but it basically.
Dissolves.
358
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Everything heart Draino.
Yep, but the problem with with
359
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,240
heart draino is that if you've
got a clot in your brain that is
360
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:40,200
kept you alive, it busts that
too.
361
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,080
Oh.
Oh, so you know, it's one of
362
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,840
those cost versus benefit
things.
363
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,720
You know, you're gonna die from
a heart attack if you don't get
364
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,720
it, but it can, the actual drug
can cause the death of people as
365
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,480
well.
So, you know, and that and, and
366
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,360
it's not a drug given lightly.
Sure, we have doctors.
367
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,640
We have doctors on call for US
24 hours a day nowadays that we
368
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,440
can ring up and get advice.
Telehealth is obviously improved
369
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,400
massively.
So there's a lot of things that
370
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,440
can be done.
Now if we're going to a job
371
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,920
that, you know, it also depends
if we're in reach of a
372
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,160
helicopter whether or not they
can come.
373
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,120
You know, they, they only have a
certain range and often we're
374
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:29,320
outside of that range.
So, and now the, the new thing
375
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,440
that they're looking at
unofficially is drones, using
376
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,240
drones to be able to take
product to people to, to scenes
377
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,960
that might be able to help them
get, you know, how you could get
378
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,640
there and get a drug into them
before we get there using, using
379
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,080
telehealth and talking to
doctors and that sort of thing.
380
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,280
So there there's a lot of
technology that's going to help
381
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,200
in the in the future.
That's cool.
382
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,320
And that's just because it's
because you're that's just
383
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,000
because all your cities are so
spread out.
384
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,000
That's like and it's it's so, so
every specific city doesn't have
385
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,200
those services.
It's just a statewide thing like
386
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,880
you referenced.
So then all of this parts from
387
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,920
the same location.
Yes, yeah.
388
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,680
So each, each so, So for
example, I, I worked for the
389
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,480
Queensland Ambulance Service and
there was 4000 paramedics spread
390
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,920
out somewhere.
Oh Jesus.
391
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,360
I don't even, I don't know what
to compare that to, but it's
392
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,760
huge.
Like I said it to go from the
393
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,000
bottom of the state to the tip
of the state's probably about a
394
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,720
25 hour drive.
Wow.
395
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:35,520
OK, yeah, that's crazy.
To give you an idea, Chris,
396
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,120
because I know you asked
earlier, yeah, the United States
397
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:42,640
is only slightly larger than
Australia, like by 25%.
398
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,760
Oh, that's how big Australia is.
Why so when he's?
399
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Talking.
So so.
400
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,840
Now it's.
Really.
401
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,920
The United States into about 6-6
states.
402
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Oh, OK.
Wow, wow.
403
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,720
So now you can imagine how
Western.
404
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Australia is about 1/3 the size
is 1/3 of the country.
405
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,560
OK.
Now you can imagine how long it
406
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,800
takes to get somewhere because
you know how long it takes to
407
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,560
get from one state to the next.
You'd have to go 6 states to the
408
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,640
next state.
Wow, that's insane.
409
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,000
See Jake, Jake, my son's a
Marine and he was when he was
410
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,280
stationed in Japan, he actually
got an opportunity to be doing
411
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,840
the Navy for about was supposed
to be 3 months and it being nine
412
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,880
months.
But during that time they they
413
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,560
had, I guess you call it ported
in Australia.
414
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
So he actually got to see
Australia, which is cool.
415
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,400
Of course she doesn't like share
all the fun stuff with us.
416
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,720
Just that, you know, he had, he
had a Vegemite sandwich that it
417
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,440
was disgusting.
Yeah, I've never, I've never
418
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,320
been able to get into Vegemite.
And then he had the Fosters,
419
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,960
which is, you know, Americans
look at Fosters as Australian
420
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,880
for beer might, right?
And the only people that drink
421
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,760
fosters is people that aren't
Australian.
422
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,120
That's marketing genius right
there you walk into that's how
423
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,800
you can tell right we'll.
Go overseas and they'll be hard.
424
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,480
You want to fosters?
It's like I don't drink that
425
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,040
shit at home, why would I?
Drink it here.
426
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,000
So the brilliance of that, you
know, when a tourist is in town,
427
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,240
right, because they walk into
Washington.
428
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,920
I like a Fosters please and
everybody in the barges.
429
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,160
Four stops.
OK.
430
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,520
That's my question.
It's funny because we, I live in
431
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,520
a, in a, so Townsville where I
live is a big Garrison town.
432
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,280
We've got a huge Army base up
here.
433
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,600
I think it's, it's got about I
think 70,000 or something.
434
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,240
Wow, no, no, that, that, no,
that's way bigger because I
435
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,080
think it's only 70,000 Australia
wide.
436
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,040
But there's a big exercise going
on up here at the moment and we
437
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,480
went to, so rugby league is
probably the big sport over
438
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,000
here.
And we went to a cow always
439
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,800
game.
We've got the North Queensland
440
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,040
Cowboys, who's our team up here.
And we were walking there the
441
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,360
other day on Saturday night and
in front of us a guy turned
442
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,440
around.
He said, are you guys, do you
443
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,080
guys support the Tigers who we
were playing and and I said, you
444
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,600
know, I wouldn't be wearing this
shirt if I did.
445
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,520
He'd go And then he started
talking and he was American.
446
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,120
He was over here on exercise.
And yeah, there was a bunch of
447
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:10,240
them going to going to the rugby
league game for imagine the
448
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,760
first time.
Now Speaking of rugby, because
449
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,720
I, I, I spy with my little eye
behind you, there's, I don't
450
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,640
want to say footballs because I
don't think that's what they're
451
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,640
called in rugby, right?
Actually in a in a in Australia
452
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,360
it is called football.
I call it football.
453
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,760
OK, so you have two footballs
behind you then?
454
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,360
I'm assuming are from rugby so
expand.
455
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,440
OK, so so there's two games,
there's rugby union and rugby
456
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,040
league.
Rugby union is is generally
457
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,160
called rugby and league is
generally called footy.
458
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,120
They are slightly different
games.
459
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:49,360
League has league has 13 people
on the field at once, where like
460
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:54,360
13 people in a team, whereas
union has 15 and union union has
461
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,600
a a much more sort of upper
class history compared to
462
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,160
league.
League was the you know, the
463
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,840
work, the workers or the lower
class game, But it's definitely
464
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,600
the on on the northern coast.
It's it's the biggest game and
465
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,800
in the in victory, Victoria and
the southern states, it's what's
466
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,280
called AFL or Australian rules
footy, football and AFL.
467
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Other people who don't like it
just call it aerial ping pong
468
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,200
because you just see it all
similar shape to this, just
469
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,640
going back and forth over a
field that's nearly 200 meters
470
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:28,960
long.
That's.
471
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,640
Awesome, So so so do you play
rugby?
472
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,640
No, I, I was a soccer player
coming from England.
473
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,280
So I, I played one game in my
life, didn't know where to
474
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,480
stand, didn't know what to do.
I was just told I, I think I was
475
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,600
13 or 12.
And they just said you're big,
476
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,680
you're in the front row and
yeah, go do stuff.
477
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,360
I just didn't have a clue what I
was doing.
478
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:02,600
So and, and it's for those that
haven't seen rugby league, we
479
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,640
don't wear any protection.
No, some somewhere a little
480
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,840
headgear.
And that's purely to stop cuts.
481
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,360
It doesn't stop any concussions
or anything like that.
482
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:14,880
It it stops lacerations.
So yeah, it's a pretty brutal
483
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,480
sport, but I love watching it.
Oh yeah, I've I've.
484
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,840
Seen a lot of.
It too.
485
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,240
Yeah, it's definitely it's yeah,
you know, it.
486
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,880
It makes the NFL that in, in in
America look like, you know,
487
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,840
even more Patsy Cake, flag
football.
488
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,920
Oh, don't, don't hit me.
Oh, I'm a quarterback.
489
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Don't touch me.
Don't you know, like we should
490
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,320
send all the American football?
So for the last couple of years
491
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,400
and including next year, the
NRL, which is the main, the main
492
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,240
body like your NFL, the NRL,
they, they actually do the
493
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,120
season launch in Vegas and they
take, they do a couple of games
494
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:52,400
over in Vegas in February.
Right on.
495
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,520
OK, let me ask you this because
I've been sitting here trying to
496
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:03,360
rack my brain and I know you're
going to cringe if unless you're
497
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:07,840
a fan of their band.
Other than Men At Work, give me
498
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,600
a couple other Australian bands
that I'm overlooking because
499
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,000
Chris and I have been musicians
midnight entire lives.
500
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,760
Oh, midnight oil.
ACDC.
501
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,440
Oh yes, ACDC man.
Mike, you're going go to your
502
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,680
room.
Go to your room, Mike.
503
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,000
Just go to your room man.
Chris is going to finish the
504
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,680
rest of the podcast, ladies and
gentlemen.
505
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,040
In excess.
In Oh, I just loved in excess,
506
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,760
Michael Hutchinson, Brilliant
man, Brilliant.
507
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,920
He was just like the the he kind
of like.
508
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,680
That man, I'm not.
Going to pay and I'm not
509
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,040
comparing us to Michael
Hutchinsons intersex, but but
510
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Mike and I had that kind of same
vibe that Michael had with the
511
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,480
the members of INXS where they
would come to him.
512
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,280
Here's the song we put together.
Then Michael would open up his
513
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400
notebook and be like, OK, this
song fits perfectly.
514
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,160
Here you go.
Done.
515
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,480
I'll I'll tell you real quick
how I got to get a.
516
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,520
I thought you were going to say
you were into the erotic
517
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,120
asphyxiation.
No, not at all.
518
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,840
No, I'll tell you how I got to
be a fan of their band was when
519
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920
I was in college.
I was trying to put a band
520
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,640
together just to have something
to do.
521
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,920
And the drummer in that band was
the biggest in excess fan I had
522
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,280
ever met in my life.
And I just thought it was weird
523
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,560
because we were forming a Hard
Rock band, right?
524
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Yeah.
Until I started trying to learn
525
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,760
their music and I was like, OK,
I get it now.
526
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,680
They had some of the coolest
beats and melodies and just the
527
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,280
musicianship along with his
songwriting, outstanding.
528
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,360
I I was like, OK, I get it now.
And Chris is right.
529
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,960
We had that same kind of
relationship where we all played
530
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,280
off each other.
Yeah.
531
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Yeah, we're very, very American
influenced in our in our music
532
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,720
as well now.
You guys ruled the Rock'n'roll
533
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,200
world, man.
ACDC.
534
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,960
How did I overlook that?
One I know that's that's
535
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,720
disappointing.
Like all of our all of our
536
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,120
viewers are like, wait, Mike's a
decision and he forgot what they
537
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,080
should do.
OK.
538
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,000
And we got we got Apple, right?
We have a really good habit of
539
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,880
if they're from New Zealand as
well, if they've if they've been
540
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,560
to Australia, we claim them as
ours.
541
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,560
Where's where's New Zealand in
relation to Australia?
542
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,360
I'm terrible at geography's
better.
543
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,880
Just it's about a two hours
flight S to the sort of
544
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,280
southwest, so bottom right.
Yeah, OK.
545
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,560
So you, they're basically like,
they're our brothers and
546
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080
sisters.
You know, we're very close bonds
547
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,880
from what we call the Anzacs,
which is the Australian and New
548
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,040
Zealand Army Corps.
So Gallipoli and in World War
549
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,680
One and all that sort of stuff.
So we're, you know, that we, we,
550
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,000
we've got that relationship with
New Zealand where we all like to
551
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
give shit to each other.
We'd all die for each other.
552
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Right now, that's cool.
Now New Zealand, their claim to
553
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360
fame is the Lord of the Rings
movies, right?
554
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,120
Yep, that's where they were.
That's where they were made for
555
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,760
sure.
Them and sheep shagging, that's
556
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,880
what.
That's their other claim for
557
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,200
fame.
Gotcha.
558
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,920
So now you married, kids,
family.
559
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,520
Yep.
Wife, two kids, the eldest is
560
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,120
22.
She just moved out with the
561
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,560
boyfriend a couple of weeks ago.
So big step.
562
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Yeah.
So yeah.
563
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,800
And it's it's, it's been
difficult actually last couple
564
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,920
of years because I've been off
work.
565
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Like I said, I worked, I worked
away.
566
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,600
I did my week on week off.
And then, yeah, I got, excuse
567
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,480
me, I got attacked at work and
developed PTSD and I've been off
568
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,200
work for two years still.
Attacked at your paramedic job?
569
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,040
Yeah, yeah.
I had a guy on ice attacked me,
570
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,040
a solo officer at 2:00 in the
morning, pitch black.
571
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,120
And yeah, he basically tried to
kill me.
572
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,480
And yeah, it was one of those.
But what it did is, is although
573
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,800
I wasn't physically hurt from
that attack, but we in first
574
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,400
responders and same as military,
you get really good at siloing
575
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,720
memories.
You know, you kind of deal with
576
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,440
it, put it to the back.
But what this did was basically
577
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,400
joined all those solos off and
let the lid open slightly.
578
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,400
So all these memories that you
thought you'd forgotten just
579
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,080
came back and then.
And then they come back at the
580
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,200
worst times.
Or just like, it could be
581
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840
something on TV.
It can be geography, You know,
582
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,280
you can be driving past
somewhere.
583
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,520
Yeah, I went to that.
And then you get these vivid
584
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,960
memories of a scene.
Most of the time they're
585
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,840
unpleasant.
We we see things that human
586
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,280
beings shouldn't see.
Yeah.
587
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,960
And and that's the nature of the
job we get.
588
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,480
We get into that knowing that
that's going to how it's going
589
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,720
to be.
And but, but, but but before
590
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,000
you, before you go further.
But do you really get into it
591
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000
knowing in your mind all the
absolutely death and the
592
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,160
structure you're going to see?
I don't.
593
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,440
Think you could could?
Right.
594
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,200
Or are you getting into it
because like, my son wants to be
595
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,720
a firefighter when he gets out
of the military service and, and
596
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,760
we look at that as he's such an
impact because he feels what
597
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,960
everybody else feels.
Yeah, look, I, I got into, I'll,
598
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,200
I'll tell you how I got into it.
I used to work at a cinema
599
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,400
complex, 16 screen cinema
complex and I was one of the GD
600
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,440
managers there and we used to
get a lot go wrong.
601
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,120
There was all sorts of, you
know, there was seizures, heart
602
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,280
attacks, fights, stabbings,
believe it or not, a couple of
603
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,760
suicides.
In a movie theatre.
604
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,200
Yep, there we had people jump
off the building, we had people
605
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,640
hanging themselves in the
toilet.
606
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,360
That's not and I used to frot
Oh.
607
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,960
So this is.
Routine like.
608
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,200
You're good, you're good.
This is routine.
609
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Like every weekend this is
happening.
610
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,560
Or every night at the movie
theater?
611
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,480
Or how often?
No, but it was, it was, it was
612
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,440
fairly rare, but it was enough
where I thrived on it.
613
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,480
I that's when I kind of stepped
up and and then it became
614
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,680
between being a police officer
and being a being a paramedic.
615
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,120
And like I said over here, you,
you don't join the fire
616
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,640
department, you join as a
paramedic into an ambulance
617
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:09,639
service.
And yeah, I applied for the and
618
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,080
it and I joined when it was the
in service training.
619
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,239
So you just did your, all your
training in service through your
620
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,719
whoever your employer and then
did a deployment and and I loved
621
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,600
it.
I loved it.
622
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:27,040
I, I, I started working at Roma,
Roma Street, which is basically
623
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,600
in, in the heart, the CBD of
Brisbane.
624
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,760
So the heart of New York City,
for example, our equivalent.
625
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,280
So right smack bang in the
middle.
626
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,719
So really busy, really good
exposure to lots and lots of
627
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,199
different types of things,
especially drugs.
628
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,159
Yeah.
And then, and then from there,
629
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,159
I, I, I kind of went out West
and, and did a relief stint in a
630
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:54,600
smaller place and realized that,
you know, you can get a much
631
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,920
better work life balance when
you go out West.
632
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,680
Gotcha.
Yeah, See the the first
633
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,000
responders here from what I
understand and what I know it's
634
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,760
it's typically a 48 on and like
72 off like you're not.
635
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,760
But you, you little tutor
earlier.
636
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,080
If you're just joining us, this
is Peter.
637
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,640
We're talking to him.
He's from Australia.
638
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,800
I spent 20 years as a first
responder and his typical work
639
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,520
schedule was 8 days on and six
days off to where he was
640
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,840
consistently on call for 8
consecutive days office hours.
641
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,600
So because of that, because that
kind of like, wow, that's a lot.
642
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,800
What would be a typical day for
you during those eight days
643
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,600
being being on?
So actually though, it was a
644
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,280
really good time when I when I
was there.
645
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,480
So let's let's for example, say
Bach Alden, which was a town of
646
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,920
about 1500 people.
You can Google it.
647
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,560
It's six hours from Rockhampton.
Some people are aware of Long
648
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,760
Reach.
I've heard of Long Reach as an
649
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,360
Outback place and it's about an
hour an hour from there.
650
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:06,360
It in those eight days, one
might do 10 actual jobs where
651
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,960
you're going to patients, so
it's not overly busy.
652
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,080
There are others that you'd be
doing 40 in that stint.
653
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,480
It really varies, but but on an
average I'd do about 10.
654
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,600
I think my busiest week would
have been in those eight days
655
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,920
would have been maybe 30-40
jobs, and my quietest would have
656
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,560
been one.
You get to take your kid to
657
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,200
school, you get to pick them up
from school, you get to go and
658
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,000
do whatever as long as your
phone's on, you drive an
659
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,600
ambulance everywhere, you're
always available.
660
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,440
You can pretty much do whatever
you want to do.
661
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,840
You know, we could go swimming.
You could do.
662
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,720
So if I went for a swim, if we
went to the local council pool,
663
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:50,440
I'd give the pool operator my
phone and if it rang, they, they
664
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,640
would answer it and come over
and give it to me.
665
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,360
And then I'd get out and I'd go
to a job.
666
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,480
And depending on the job is
whether I turned out with with
667
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:03,320
dripping wet shorts or or got
dried and changed and you know.
668
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,280
So your company card was the
ambulance?
669
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,120
Absolutely.
Yep, my kids were.
670
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,320
Crazy.
With me taking them to school in
671
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,080
an ambulance in a fully fledged.
Ambulance.
672
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,440
Oh, that's fun.
Did they get the novel Siren on
673
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,560
every day?
Yep, they didn't They they were
674
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,920
so blase about it.
So when we moved to Townsville
675
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,280
with, you know, with the kindies
and stuff where you often take
676
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,920
the ambulance into kindy visits
and that type of thing, they
677
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,800
just, they didn't care.
Like they all the other kids
678
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,720
that thought it was awesome and
they were like, yeah, that's
679
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,440
just a normal vehicle.
It's like I.
680
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,920
Killed my dad drives.
Yeah, yeah.
681
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,040
That's really.
Cool.
682
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,720
So in Australia the the steering
wheels on the on the right side
683
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,080
of the vehicle, right do you
guys?
684
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,080
Yeah, we and we drive.
We drive on the left.
685
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,960
OK, that's what I say.
So it's it's kind of like
686
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,920
England, which is makes sense
because England settled
687
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,920
Australia, correct?
Yep.
688
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:58,680
That's right.
That's right.
689
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,920
And and yeah, we use the metric
system.
690
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,880
I think you guys are pretty much
the only ones that.
691
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,840
You're the only ones that don't,
man.
692
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Let me let me give you a piece
of history.
693
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,640
I'm not.
Peter might know this.
694
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,360
Chris, this is going to blow
your mind.
695
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,760
OK, OK.
Do you know why they drive on
696
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,160
the left hand side of the road?
To get there faster.
697
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,000
No, OK, because when people
wrote, All right, I'm going to
698
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,120
teach everybody something here.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's
699
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,000
history with Mike.
Because when people rode horses,
700
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,880
only 2% of the population is
left-handed.
701
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,280
So you wanted your sword hand,
You wanted to be on the left
702
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,960
hand side, so the people coming
at you were at your sword hand,
703
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Yes.
Interesting.
704
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:44,800
By the time we got to America,
we were like, whatever, fuck
705
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,120
that, we're going to do it our
own way.
706
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,480
I'm not sure how that happened
because we were still riding
707
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
horses, but.
Speaking of lefties, little
708
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,560
man's left-handed.
My grandson, which we're like,
709
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,000
he's 2.
Percent of the population.
710
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Which explains why he hated
baseball because we were trying
711
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,320
to think he's right-handed, that
he hated football because he was
712
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,600
left-handed.
And we were, you know, and then
713
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,480
when he was Nikki's, my wife's a
teacher, Peter, so she works
714
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,640
with him on stuff.
And about a month and a half
715
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,640
ago, we gave him something to
write and he was struggling with
716
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,960
the right hand and then came
back till later picked it up
717
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,080
with his left hand.
It was like, what?
718
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,400
What is this?
And it's 10%.
719
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,800
He's left-handed, so it's crazy.
That's a big difference between
720
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,040
2:00 and 10:00, yeah.
Huge, man.
721
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,600
I'm 2%.
I have green eyes, so I knew it
722
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,680
was one or the other.
Yeah.
723
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,120
It's only 2% of the population
have green eyes.
724
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,680
Yeah.
What about you, Peter?
725
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:38,040
What color are your eyes?
Mine are like a brownie Hazel.
726
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,440
Brownie Hazel.
OK.
727
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,280
What's the, what's the
percentage of that one, Mike?
728
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,680
Very common I'm I'm
technologically advanced, I got
729
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,160
green eyes, and I'm allergic to
milk.
730
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,480
There you go.
So here's another fun question,
731
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,560
and this is this.
Is this this stupid American
732
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,960
enemy?
Did Outback Steakhouse originate
733
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840
from Australia or is that just
an American made-up nonsense?
734
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,640
I.
Think it's I think it's American
735
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,120
made-up nonsense.
Yeah, but I, I don't know it's
736
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,440
the name is familiar, but I
don't know if it's from movies,
737
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,000
you know, seeing it on movies or
whether I've actually seen it.
738
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,160
It's.
Probably movies.
739
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,000
What's your biggest?
Well, here's here's another fun
740
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,320
fact that you guys probably
don't know.
741
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,840
So you guys have Burger King
over here and when they when
742
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,640
they brought it over, that name
was taken already.
743
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,320
So our Burger King is called
Hungry Jacks.
744
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,880
Hungry Jacks.
I did not know that.
745
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,840
Now let's talk food.
So like American food's
746
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,720
terrible.
Like I just learned that Ritz
747
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:38,960
crackers are one of the worst
things you can put in your body.
748
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,800
And I've, I've ingested Ritz
crackers since I was like 5
749
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,080
years old.
So my wife and I are about a
750
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,920
month and now we've gotten rid
of all the bad starches, all the
751
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,880
breads, all the enriched flowers
and things like that.
752
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,440
Sunday we did decide what the
hell, let's have some pizza and,
753
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,200
and like just been paying for it
for days with the inflammation
754
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,480
and the spine and all that kind
of jazz.
755
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,200
So it's like, OK, definitely
can't go back to this at all.
756
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,720
So the food in Australia is, I
mean, you've never probably been
757
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,120
to America, which you probably
can't, can't compare the two.
758
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,840
But but we've heard Mike and I
have heard from people we've
759
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,320
been on and the things that he
watches and listens to podcast
760
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,880
wise, as do I, that American
food is so terrible.
761
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,040
But everybody else, everywhere
else in the world, the food is
762
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,760
so much better because how it's
it's not processed like we
763
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,200
process food and put all the
nonsense and shit in it is that
764
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,600
is that I mean.
Yeah.
765
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,440
Do you guys ban all the like
dyes?
766
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,560
And I would love to say I.
Would love to say yes, but no,
767
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,400
no, we, we, yeah, our diet is,
is very poor as well.
768
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,840
Diabetes is on the way up and
all that sort of stuff.
769
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,200
We, we are very, we are very
mishmashed with different
770
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,480
cultures.
We're, we're a very
771
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,240
multicultural country.
So we do have a lot of Asian
772
00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:53,800
influences and that sort of
thing.
773
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,240
So our food is a bit of
everything and there are,
774
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,200
there's a lot of indigenous
Tucker, what they call the, the
775
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,800
slang for food over here is
Tucker.
776
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:06,920
There's a lot of Indigenous
Tucker that happens.
777
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,520
And there's more and more
restaurants that are
778
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:13,120
specializing in that, where
they'll use berries and stuff
779
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,480
grown in places that, you know,
you don't go to the supermarket
780
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:18,960
and buy these sort sort of
things.
781
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,080
So yeah, explain what that is.
What is Tucker?
782
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,400
Tucker's just food.
Tucker's just, we're a, we're a
783
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,600
mad country of lingo.
Everything is shortened or has a
784
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:36,560
has a, has a lingo for it.
So afternoon is arvo, arvo you.
785
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,720
Know like a.
Petrol station or a gas station
786
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:41,600
that you call them.
We call it a servo A.
787
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,400
Servo OK if I look like BBQ with
Barbie.
788
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Yep.
So that's true American.
789
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,920
Barbecue is very much
infiltrating over here.
790
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,360
It's becoming big.
Smoking meat, that type of
791
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,840
thing.
That's that's becoming quite a
792
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,640
big scene.
You know, all the stuff that
793
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,480
used to be cheap is no longer
cheap.
794
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,360
Now.
Used to be able to get all your
795
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,200
cheap cuts, yeah.
Now, do you guys eat kangaroo?
796
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,200
Like, is that a delicacy?
Yes, OK, yes and it's.
797
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,520
Actually one of the leanest,
highest protein meats you can
798
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,520
get.
Really.
799
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,120
It is extremely good for you.
It's a very strong flavor and
800
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,320
it's quite gamey.
There is a lot of people that
801
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,280
don't like it.
We make most of it when we do a
802
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,480
bolognaise.
We make it with generally with
803
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,040
kangaroo mints.
It's lower fat.
804
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,160
Yeah, it's got like 1% fat.
So now that's something you
805
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,920
could buy at like the
supermarket there.
806
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,600
Yeah, it's it's it probably
takes up 1% of the entire meat
807
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,200
department compared to your
chicken and lamb and that sort
808
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,000
of thing.
So it's not common.
809
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,080
Yeah, it's it's one of those.
I think we're the only country
810
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,440
that eats the food that's on our
coat of arms.
811
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,000
We're not allowed to even touch
the American eagle.
812
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,720
Like if you like, if you if you
have a feather in Alaska and you
813
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,880
pick it up and it's an eagle
feather and you try to go home
814
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,120
with it, you get shut down like
it's that well protected animal.
815
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,120
So yeah, we wouldn't yeah, we
wouldn't be eating the American
816
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,480
eagle.
But so so because you guys.
817
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,360
Savage.
Yeah, so because you guys can
818
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,920
eat the Kangaroos.
If you have a kangaroo in your
819
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,960
backyard, you can you just shoot
it, skin it and process it and
820
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,120
have it for dinner.
They don't have a gun.
821
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,520
No, there are.
You you need.
822
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,240
To do all that sort of stuff.
And there's a lot of, they do
823
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:32,240
have parasite issues.
A lot of most, most Kangaroos
824
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:35,000
die in suburbia from getting hit
by cars.
825
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,160
They're some of the dumbest
animals.
826
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,520
You know, they'll, they'll be
laying, they'll be standing next
827
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,360
to 20 of their dead mates and
they'll be like, and then
828
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,240
they'll try and run in front of
you, but then they'll stop, try
829
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:49,360
and turn around, but they'll
skid and then you'll hit them.
830
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,400
And then you do get a lot of
people that when they do hit a
831
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:58,120
kangaroo, they carry their, they
carry their young, their joeys
832
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,640
in their pouches.
And often if they're if they're
833
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,600
females, they'll often have a
Joey.
834
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,960
They nearly always have a Joey
in their pouch.
835
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,560
And then they keep one kind of
incubated until that one moves
836
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,240
out really they'll start growing
this next one.
837
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:15,160
Yeah, that that's my
understanding.
838
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,760
I'm not any any in any way.
We're going to hold you to that.
839
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,280
You heard it here first from
Peter in Australia.
840
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:22,760
OK, Kangaroos incubate.
Why?
841
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,240
They have one growing and then
that one leaves and one pops
842
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:26,960
back up.
That one leaves, pops back up.
843
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,440
It's a non ending cycle, like
Jack rabbits in the desert.
844
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,440
They are huge when they are in
the in the pouch.
845
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,200
Like they'll stay in their pouch
until their legs and their arms
846
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,720
don't fit.
Wow.
847
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,120
It's yeah, you can, you can have
it.
848
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,440
Have a look at it.
And and some, some Kangaroos are
849
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,000
massive and a lot of them are
very small.
850
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,720
So the average one that you'll
see on the side of the road
851
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:56,040
nowadays, what we call
Wallabies, they're a smaller
852
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,840
thing.
They might be in your in your
853
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,360
lingo.
Foot, foot and 1/2.
854
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,240
High.
Oh, OK.
855
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,360
Or you can get red.
Red Kangaroos are probably
856
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,160
standing up 910 feet high.
Wow.
857
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,560
They'll kick your ass.
Wow.
858
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,440
Shit, yeah.
They're the ones that you see.
859
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,360
They look like they've been
doing steroids.
860
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,160
I don't know if you've seen it,
where they come across their
861
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,720
arms.
They got pecks bigger than Arnie
862
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:24,560
Schwarzenegger and it's.
I had to look them up on
863
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,960
YouTube.
I listened to a podcast where
864
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,640
they were talking about these
Kangaroos.
865
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,400
A guy had taken a trip to the
Outback and he said, you can't
866
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,440
even imagine.
You have to see it with your own
867
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,560
eyes.
So I looked it up on YouTube and
868
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,760
I know it doesn't do it, you
know, give you the perspective.
869
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,960
But Amanda, they're ripped.
That's crazy.
870
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,200
They.
Look like they've been lifting
871
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,000
weights for 10 years.
So they look like.
872
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,800
They've been doing steroids.
They they sit on their back tail
873
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,800
and they just stand up and it's
all about just intimidation.
874
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,440
That's how they they win their
fights.
875
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,080
Let's talk animals.
Let's talk species and insects
876
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,800
and stuff because over here we
we.
877
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,200
I got to know about the koala
bear.
878
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,040
Yeah, well, we hear, we hear, we
hear a lot of things and I just
879
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,000
want to like we've heard this
like I saw something on Facebook
880
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,480
within the last month where it
was spider season in Australia
881
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,320
and there's and face, right.
And they cause the caption was,
882
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,360
no, it's not snow.
It's spider season in Australia.
883
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,120
And it it looked like blankets
of snow, but it was webs.
884
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,360
But because AI is what it is
now.
885
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,280
Is that legit or is that
made-up?
886
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,200
That's legit.
But I don't know if it's
887
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,200
Australian.
I've seen that one and I don't
888
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,200
know if it's Australian.
I thought that might have been
889
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,760
in some cotton fields or
something.
890
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,600
I can't remember.
I have seen that same, same
891
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,200
thing and I've seen it where
they they set it alight and all
892
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:46,640
the lot, all the the webs burn
up and yeah, I don't, I don't
893
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,920
think there is a spider season.
It's pretty much always spider
894
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:50,480
season.
There's.
895
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:55,000
OK, let me ask you this.
There's another famous meme that
896
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,520
has gone around Facebook
forever, Instagram as well,
897
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,560
where there's this gigantic, I
think it's a Huntsman spider
898
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,840
like the mother, and then
there's just a million babies
899
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,720
around her.
It's underneath a bed.
900
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,680
I think everybody's seen this
picture.
901
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,600
Is that legit?
Yes it is.
902
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,560
Yes, it is.
I would burn that house down.
903
00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:20,560
So, so let me tell you about my
first experience with a Huntsman
904
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,600
spiders because I I came from
England and we, we call, I don't
905
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,400
know what you guys call them
daddy long legs.
906
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,240
The really tiny ones with
cricket.
907
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,760
Yep, Yep.
So that was pretty much my my
908
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,480
experience with spiders was
Daddy long legs and I came over
909
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,880
here and I've heard about these
Huntsman spiders and they jump.
910
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Oh my God.
So the first time I've got 2-2
911
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,200
to tell you about the first time
I ever saw one, we didn't know
912
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,480
how far they jumped, so I didn't
know if they jump across the
913
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,120
entire route or, you know, an
inch.
914
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,520
I got to know how far.
There's me and my dad.
915
00:48:55,680 --> 00:49:00,040
There's me and my dad with a 14
foot fishing pole just kind of
916
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,000
prodding this thing, you know,
as brain blokes.
917
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,000
And yeah, they, they run.
They run everywhere.
918
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:12,360
They they do bite, but then
they're not venomous, OK, But
919
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,360
they do, they do hurt.
So this one time I was getting
920
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:20,080
out of the shower and I put on
my towel and I felt something on
921
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,440
the back.
Of my Oh my God.
922
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,240
Like just above the the towel
and I turned around and I had a
923
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:30,280
Huntsman on me and it no shit it
was the IT was the size of my
924
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,000
palm.
Oh my God.
925
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:32,960
Lift your palm.
Lift your.
926
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,000
Lift your palm up.
Lift your palm up so people can
927
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,480
see it.
Lift your palm up.
928
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,800
OK, OK, so it.
Was it was it would it would
929
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,040
have been two, maybe two 2 1/2
inches across. 2 1/2 inches
930
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,000
spider a hunt for spiders out
and it bit you.
931
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,600
Well, this thing, I felt every
leg and it walked.
932
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,600
It didn't run.
It walked into the middle of my
933
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,880
shoulder blades.
It stopped.
934
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,600
It turned around and it slowly
walked down.
935
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,920
Oh my God.
And I tell you what, when when
936
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,680
it reached the towel, the towel
went flying and I was running
937
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,760
around like an epileptic tail.
How old were you at this time,
938
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,960
12/13?
Probably 14 at that time, OK, I
939
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,240
was, I was almost ready to run,
to swim back to England.
940
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,240
OK, so Huntsman spiders are real
and they're 2 1/2 inches in
941
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:25,360
diameter.
Yeah, they can get bigger.
942
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,120
So I I was at a friend's
barbecue and we, we, there was a
943
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,640
large spider that went across
the table and he put a ice cream
944
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,840
container, an empty ice cream
container on the on top of it.
945
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,600
OK.
And all you could see was this
946
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,840
ice cream container lifting off
the ground as this spider
947
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,120
jumped.
You don't like?
948
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,840
Spiders, Peter.
No, I I'm not a fan or at all.
949
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,480
At all, and especially when
they're big enough to have a
950
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,040
conversation with you.
Yeah, and if they've got to get
951
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,000
up and brush their hair in the
morning and you can have eye,
952
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:01,960
eye contact, I'm just.
That's not right.
953
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,560
It's not my thing.
And, and they're just prevalent
954
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,320
everywhere as well as just
certain parts of.
955
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,160
Australia everywhere.
Another very, very everywhere.
956
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,960
And they're indoor.
They're an indoor spider, so you
957
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,840
also find them indoors the the
one.
958
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,480
But like I said, the good thing
about them is they're not,
959
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:24,680
they're not considered venomous.
The the funnel web and the red
960
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,560
back.
They're they're probably your
961
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,200
two that you worry about.
Don't forget your second
962
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,680
Huntsman story.
I want to hear that.
963
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,000
Yeah, yeah.
You had two, you had two
964
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,960
Huntsman stories.
That was both of them, so one of
965
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,320
us was prodding it with the
fishing.
966
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:36,920
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
967
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,800
Climbing on, yeah, OK, but you
always check your shoes out and
968
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,640
that sort of thing before you
put them on.
969
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:45,840
So Chris is.
Familiar with that because
970
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,560
they're scorpions and scorpions.
Owner, right?
971
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:48,400
Right.
But.
972
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,440
We did the same thing.
Scorpions.
973
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,640
Over here as well, yeah.
And they're been, they're
974
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,120
bigger, right?
They're like 6 inches.
975
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,040
They're like a foot long.
You're scorpions.
976
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,640
Because everything seems to
masturize.
977
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:01,480
The only one I've seen, the only
one I've seen here was probably
978
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,560
about an inch.
It's long and it was in my inner
979
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,720
Landry.
I was just laying down watching
980
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,720
TV with my foot on the ground.
I was like lying on the couch,
981
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:11,960
foot on the ground.
And and my girlfriend at the
982
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,960
time, she just so casually
painted as a scorpion next to
983
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,600
your foot.
I'm like, what?
984
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,440
And then I had a look and it was
only shit myself because I'd
985
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,280
never seen one before.
Yeah, don't ever be that calm
986
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:23,680
again when you tell me that
woman.
987
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,720
Peter, Peter, honey, darling,
there's a scorpion down by your
988
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:30,840
foot.
I just wanted you to know.
989
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,400
Thank you, love.
Yeah, the red back spiders, the
990
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,200
red back spiders are are are
venomous spider.
991
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,160
And they're like they're in the
populated areas where you live.
992
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:47,040
They are very much so they, they
kind of live in their webs are
993
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,320
just this messy kind of gooey
and they, they're often in
994
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,120
corners and, and areas that you
just kind of know where they're
995
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,760
going to be.
Now how big are they?
996
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,640
A large mile would be less than
a centimeter.
997
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,000
OK, oh still it's still, but
still, if it has a red back, you
998
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,600
want to kill it.
Yeah, we tend to leave them
999
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,560
because they, they kill other
pests.
1000
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,880
OK, so, and that's the thing,
you know, it's a, it's a bit of
1001
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,240
a delicate thing like
Huntsman's.
1002
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:22,240
I hate them with a passion, but
they kill a lot of the the flies
1003
00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:24,640
and the mozzies and stuff like
that.
1004
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,240
So they all have all kind of
have a role to play.
1005
00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:31,600
So we try, I try and live, live
and live.
1006
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,160
But you know, there's definitely
times when you're like, yeah,
1007
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,560
yeah, snakes are another big
issue there.
1008
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,800
We, I think we've got something
like 9 of the top 10 most
1009
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,880
venomous snakes, venomous snakes
over here.
1010
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:47,360
OK so we have 2 1/2 to 3 inch
spiders that aren't venomous but
1011
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,440
they will bite you.
Then you have the red back
1012
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,440
spider which will kill you.
Then you have 9 out of the 10
1013
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,720
most venomous snakes in the
world in Australia.
1014
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,880
Yeah, pretty much anything over
here wants to kill you.
1015
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,560
OK, OK.
And Mike, you really want to go
1016
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,120
to Australia?
Oh, I'm reevaluating.
1017
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,840
Yeah.
Do they fumigate the hotels?
1018
00:54:07,720 --> 00:54:10,200
Yeah, so.
If we go to the if we go to the
1019
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:16,880
beach here, OK, we actually have
netted off areas because they're
1020
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,440
you can choose what kills you.
If you go for a swim in the
1021
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,120
ocean, there's crocodiles,
there's sharks and there's
1022
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:26,120
jellyfish.
Don't you guys have the
1023
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,080
deadliest jellyfish?
Yeah, they box jellyfish, Yes.
1024
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,280
I watch a lot of nature
documentaries.
1025
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,040
Yeah, yeah.
So as paramedics, we carry the
1026
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:42,440
anti venom for boxed jellyfish.
It is an extremely painful,
1027
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,640
very, very deadly.
And what happens with them?
1028
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,840
And that's the one that a lot of
people hear about.
1029
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,840
Vinegar is used as the antidote.
So, So what vinegar does that
1030
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:59,160
most people don't realize
vinegar doesn't stop the pain or
1031
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,680
doesn't stop the venom.
That's all.
1032
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,160
It's not an antidote.
What it does is it neutralize
1033
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,880
neutralizes the tentacles that
are still on you from injecting
1034
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,840
more into you.
So myself you're getting.
1035
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,560
More in Venom.
Yeah, years.
1036
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,440
When I, when my son, I think was
7 or 8 years old, we went to
1037
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,520
Mexico with a whole, a whole
group of neighbors and we were,
1038
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,040
he and I were just kind of in
the in on the beach, in the
1039
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,560
waves.
The waves were coming up, you
1040
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,280
know, to my shins type thing.
He got a little deeper into the
1041
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,440
water, you know, and I was
following him and, and then it,
1042
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,960
it felt like electric, but it
felt I was equating it to just
1043
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,800
the sea salt hitting my shins,
right.
1044
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,120
OK, so then, so then my son, I'm
looking at him and he just has
1045
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,040
this look on his face and then
just starts screaming like, holy
1046
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,600
shit.
Like you think that Jaws is
1047
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,360
underneath him taking half his
body, right.
1048
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,360
And I reached down and grab him,
lift him up by underneath his
1049
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,280
armpits and just jellyfish had
wrapped around the core of his,
1050
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,840
his like from his chest down.
And he was just just blood
1051
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,040
curling, screaming that I
obviously pulled him out.
1052
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,160
And and then the the, the
Mexican police came down and
1053
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,720
like you said, vinegar.
So there's they got Windex and
1054
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:08,600
shit because they don't have
vinegar packets.
1055
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,080
So they're pouring Windex
because it's an American, it's
1056
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,360
an American resort.
So obviously they're like, you
1057
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,280
know, flies on.
So they're pouring all it's on.
1058
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,400
He's screaming.
I had one on my It was it was to
1059
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,280
the point that that it took him
years to go back in the ocean.
1060
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,400
It took him probably 6 or 7
hours just.
1061
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,160
I can't believe he ever.
Did drama of that?
1062
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:29,760
You know what I mean?
Like I won't, I don't.
1063
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,160
I just stepped on one and I'm
not crazy about going.
1064
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,720
No, and I'm saying I'm not a big
fan of the ocean.
1065
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,480
You like I'll, I'll sit on the
beach and watch it.
1066
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,560
You know, Nikki's got me to go
on cruises now where we're
1067
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,640
floating on top of it.
But I'm, I'm not, I'm not going
1068
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,720
to go see.
Now the difference is, you know,
1069
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:47,120
poor Jake, he had it way worse
than I did, but I still ended up
1070
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,280
with two holes in the bottom of
my foot for years.
1071
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,960
Wow.
Like there were, they were just
1072
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,800
there.
It took forever for those things
1073
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,000
to go away.
But in Peter's case, we step on
1074
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,280
a box jellyfish and you and I
aren't tell if that happened to
1075
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:02,800
Jake in Australia, He's dead.
Yeah.
1076
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,560
Yeah, yeah, the.
Trouble with the box jellyfish
1077
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,960
is their tentacles.
Could be they can be sort of
1078
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,200
ten, I think they can be longer
than 10 feet.
1079
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,960
I think they can be 1520 feet
long.
1080
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:18,160
And yeah, so and yeah, there,
there's been quite a few deaths
1081
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,840
from, from those.
They just cause so much cardio
1082
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:28,200
respiratory issues and and pain
that and, and kids, kids die
1083
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,000
from that as well.
So, and then the other one, the
1084
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,320
other jellyfish that causes
issues is 1 called Irakanji.
1085
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,400
Irakanji is about the size of
your thumbnail, so it's really
1086
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,280
small and you won't actually
feel it sting you.
1087
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,080
But about half an hour later,
you develop what we call
1088
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:49,120
Irikangi syndrome, and it's a
pain like a parent never had it.
1089
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,120
I have a colleague who has had
it and says it's a pain like
1090
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,640
you've never felt.
It's a back pain that you can
1091
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,480
have as much fentanyl, morphine,
whatever you want.
1092
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,040
You can have as much of that as
you want.
1093
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,680
It won't touch the sides.
It needs magnesium.
1094
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,840
The magnesium is is the antidote
for that.
1095
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,360
So these little.
Tiny jellyfish are just floating
1096
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:14,080
along next to you and they just
latch on sting and you're out
1097
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:16,520
there swimming, having a good
time, and this thing the size of
1098
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,120
your thumbnail just jacks you
up.
1099
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,680
And The thing is, you've got to
remember, jellyfish don't look
1100
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,800
for you.
You kind of.
1101
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,720
Have to be yeah, it's the tide
that takes them into you.
1102
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,800
So we we have conditions where
they won't let you in the water
1103
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,560
and in the sting at what we call
the Stinger Nets.
1104
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,960
And up here from from November
to May, you're.
1105
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,840
Selling us on Australia, man.
Oh shit yeah you are meant to
1106
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,080
wear full body.
Suits when?
1107
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,360
You go in the water during
Stinger season because if they
1108
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,080
can't contact your skin they
don't sting you.
1109
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,000
OK, so my question is, why
doesn't the Department of
1110
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,840
Tourism?
For Australia, have all this
1111
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,400
listed as reasons come and come
to Australia if you can do like
1112
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,920
Fear Factor really should just
be Australia.
1113
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,720
Remember the show Fear Factor?
It's Australia, the Australian
1114
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,320
version of Fear Factor.
In Australia we'll give you 2
1115
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,920
weeks for free.
Like, that's just insane.
1116
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,760
It's insanity.
So we've, we've, I guess we, we
1117
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:14,720
grow up with it.
So it's such a.
1118
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,640
Normal part of life, you know,
and, and most of the time when
1119
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,680
people are taken by crocodiles
or when you know, you're in
1120
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:29,680
their territory, crocodiles
generally they're stalkers so
1121
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,120
that you've generally done
something probably not so smart
1122
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,680
to get taken by a crocodile.
And we get big Crocs, like 5
1123
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,000
metres long.
I've, I've seen many myself.
1124
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,200
I, I, I'm an avid fisherman,
love fishing and you see
1125
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,280
crocodiles all the time.
You just stay away from, you
1126
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,200
know, you can see where they're
going to be.
1127
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:54,320
You don't fish on the bank and
you, you, you know, you go past
1128
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:58,480
on the boat and people will be
waist deep throwing A and you're
1129
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:02,240
like, you are just mad now.
So boat you're talking, is it a
1130
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,280
motorized boat or you're just
like?
1131
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,040
In a rowboat?
No.
1132
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,120
A motorized boat.
I've got what we call.
1133
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,120
A tinny yeah.
So 100 horsepower on the back.
1134
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,680
Okay, Kind of like what
Gilligan's Allen had S s minnow
1135
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,840
something like.
That you know, I'm just I'm just
1136
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,480
for relation of size because I
don't I don't you know, I just I
1137
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,840
like to I like to when people
were talking with the No 10 feet
1138
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,880
pretty small.
I liked I like to get Yeah
1139
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,400
mines.
About a 15 foot a.
1140
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,160
Mines about a 15 foot.
Hilligans Island boat would have
1141
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,480
been like a 3040 foot boat.
Yeah, well, I was, I was.
1142
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,880
So I was just trying to get a
bearing of the.
1143
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Size of it so people people can
understand because when people
1144
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,720
tell us their stories and stuff,
it's I like to paint a little
1145
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,080
bit more detailed pictures so
they get a well, let me put this
1146
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,400
into perspective for you.
OK, nobody.
1147
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,800
Could imagine living in the
desert if they didn't have air
1148
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,120
conditioning at this point.
This is true history right?
1149
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,840
You live in a very inhospitable
climate for humanity.
1150
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,280
I do like you, absolutely.
Yes, absolutely.
1151
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,160
Yeah.
So last year we had a.
1152
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,480
We call them cyclones because.
And they actually go the
1153
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,520
different way to the Hurricanes,
so not just the toilets.
1154
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,000
So they spin the different way.
We had a cyclone last year that
1155
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,280
came relatively close to us.
OK, let me ask you this real
1156
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,040
quick because now I got to know
I'm.
1157
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,920
Confused already.
What's the difference between a
1158
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:20,520
cyclone and a typhoon?
Typhoon is.
1159
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,120
The Asian version.
Oh, it's the same thing, only
1160
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,360
the Asian version Cyclone.
Hurricanes and typhoons, I
1161
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,520
believe.
Are exactly the same thing, it's
1162
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,920
just where they are.
That's just my understanding as
1163
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,160
well.
OK so the Asian 1 you have sushi
1164
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,440
in.
It the Australian.
1165
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,320
One, you have spiders in it.
And then what was the third one?
1166
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,640
Yeah, you got Sharknado.
Sharknado.
1167
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:41,400
Sharknado.
Yeah.
1168
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,680
Gotcha.
Now we understand what's great
1169
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,280
we we don't get very many
tornadoes.
1170
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,280
Over here yeah, I don't either.
So the.
1171
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,200
Last year we had this cyclone.
Go over.
1172
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:59,680
And the heat following it was up
there with the worst it so it we
1173
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,800
deal in centigrade.
I don't know what this is in
1174
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:07,320
Fahrenheit, but it was it was
about 45 with a feels like a 58.
1175
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:13,280
That would be a probably 1:20
to. 1:30 if yeah, see, see you
1176
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,480
looked at.
When July, August come around,
1177
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,840
we, we can be, you know, 120
like I, I lived through the
1178
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,880
summer where it was 128° with
the 1970 Camaro with no air
1179
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,560
condition because I just rolled
out the windows and went to
1180
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,960
work.
So, you know, we're not and I'm
1181
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,680
allowed to talk about the heat
because my wife believes you put
1182
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,720
voices on something that all of
a sudden it becomes true.
1183
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:37,040
So you can just Google Arizona
summers and you'll see what we
1184
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,280
deal with from a heat
standpoint.
1185
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,440
But so I can feel the 120° thing
because I've been there, done
1186
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,840
that.
Oh, it's the same as you.
1187
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,680
It's 136.
Feels like of 100.
1188
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:50,160
And 36 it feels like of a. 136
and the humidity is what kills
1189
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,760
you up here, right?
See and.
1190
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,800
We.
Have monsoon season, so when we
1191
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:55,000
have.
The monsoons, that's where
1192
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,000
humidity goes through the roof.
Like see Arizona is a dry heat,
1193
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
whereas the Midwest, like I, I
was born in Illinois.
1194
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,600
Mike lives in Illinois, so it
could be it could be 90° in
1195
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,920
Illinois with 90% humidity where
it could be 120° in Arizona with
1196
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,960
10% humidity.
I would take what I have opposed
1197
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,160
to what he has just because of
you know, and most people would.
1198
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,920
You can get in the shade and
cool down whereas when it's so
1199
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,680
humid.
It's just disgusting, right?
1200
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,320
Exactly.
It's kind of like Florida, the
1201
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,200
armpit of America.
Right.
1202
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,480
Yeah, that type of thing.
So we've been picking your brain
1203
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,600
all about Australian stuff.
Is there anything you want to
1204
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,280
pick our brains about being that
we're, you know, these these
1205
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,120
Americans?
Have you been to America?
1206
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,280
Yeah, no.
No me and the misses.
1207
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,560
Were actually talking about.
Next year maybe coming over for
1208
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,040
for two weeks and where would
you like to go?
1209
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,440
What's your ideal spot?
I'd like to do.
1210
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,000
Something in Florida.
I'd love to go to Cape
1211
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Canaveral.
Cool Vegas and and probably LA
1212
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,120
just do a few days kind of
thing.
1213
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,200
OK, so if you if you do that,
I'd love to go to Everglades and
1214
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:00,520
I.
Want to do some giant carp on
1215
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,440
fishing?
Cool if you do if you do this
1216
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,160
and you.
Plan on coming to Vegas, give me
1217
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,480
a heads up and if schedules
align my Wi-Fi, I'll pop down
1218
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,800
and hang out for a day or two
and in the in the strip and that
1219
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,400
would be awesome.
You can lolligag.
1220
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,080
You can lolligag.
With two Americans.
1221
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,600
We did want to, we did want to
go to the the.
1222
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,240
NRL launch because.
My team's over there in
1223
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:25,960
February.
We did want to go and play that,
1224
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,520
go and watch that.
But my wife's a personal trainer
1225
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:33,880
and taking holidays early in the
year is probably is not the best
1226
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,600
thing because because that's
when that's when most of our
1227
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,120
people are, you know, doing a
New Year's resolutions and yeah,
1228
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,160
right.
If you if you get them off the
1229
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:43,480
treadmill, they ain't coming
back.
1230
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,040
Right, right, because.
Then by March, they're done.
1231
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,000
They realize, oh, this.
Is too hard for me, I don't want
1232
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,440
to.
So I guess going back to Chris's
1233
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,840
question since you've.
Never been here.
1234
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,160
Yeah, yeah.
The questions you have, yeah,
1235
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:56,800
Pick up.
Pick the Americans brains, yeah?
1236
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,720
Nothing's you know.
You know what?
1237
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,920
Probably the first 10 minutes of
most of our news bulletins are
1238
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,360
American based.
Really full of them.
1239
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:10,320
You guys have such a huge
influence on Australian culture.
1240
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,400
That's crazy.
Good and bad.
1241
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,880
Good and bad.
I did not know that.
1242
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,400
I didn't know that either.
Yeah.
1243
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,880
What's a good thing?
That what's a good thing that
1244
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,480
there are cultures done to
Australia.
1245
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,200
It's positives.
Oh look, I love the I love the
1246
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:28,360
movie culture and that sort of.
Thing I love the podcasting
1247
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,640
culture.
I've got really into podcasting.
1248
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,920
How about our music?
What kind of music are you into
1249
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,920
from America?
I'm really.
1250
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,120
Easy.
So my favorite band.
1251
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,680
Of all times, is Guns and Roses
cool?
1252
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:45,800
Yeah.
I'm going to the Metallica
1253
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:47,760
concert in November when they
come over.
1254
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,480
So I'm into, I'm into, I'm into
everything.
1255
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,360
Like I I appreciate, I
appreciate music, whether it's
1256
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,360
so real quick, Peter, I don't
really give a shit.
1257
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,600
Real.
Quick a blast from the past.
1258
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:01,840
Chris and I got.
To.
1259
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,560
See the Load Reload tour in 1998
together.
1260
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,160
That was his first Metallica
concert.
1261
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,320
I got to be there with him and
it, it was awesome.
1262
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,200
Him and his wife both.
That's awesome.
1263
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,160
Yeah.
I I I remember when I was.
1264
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,560
When I was 15, Guns and Roses
and Metallica did a joint
1265
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:22,280
concert over here.
Yeah, that was a world tour at
1266
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,880
Easton.
Creek at a place called Easton.
1267
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,880
Creek Raceway and I think there
was 150,000 people that went and
1268
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:32,880
I was about $40 short sort of
going and my mum wouldn't let me
1269
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,680
go.
Oh no.
1270
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,800
Oh, I was gutted.
I had to wait until I.
1271
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:43,880
Think 2000 and I think it was
like 2012 to see Guns and Roses
1272
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,920
live for the first time.
So that's my accuracy tour.
1273
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,160
Yeah, that's when I took Jake.
That's when I took.
1274
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:51,880
Jake, you guys saw the same.
Tour.
1275
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,240
That's why I was asking.
Chris Yeah.
1276
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:56,720
And.
Like a 2500.
1277
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,040
Seat so.
Let me tell you a quick story,
1278
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,240
yeah.
Crazy how small the world is.
1279
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:06,200
Peter, the guy who was playing
guitar when you saw them, grew
1280
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,280
up 18 miles from me in a smaller
town.
1281
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,120
Really.
In the middle of a cornfield.
1282
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,200
Yeah, that's so that guy
standing on.
1283
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:15,720
That stage playing for.
You.
1284
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:20,440
Started there.
That's just so I just those kind
1285
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,720
of things just make life crazy.
So I'll give you another
1286
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,760
example.
So I've got a podcast.
1287
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,040
As well.
And I had a, an English guy come
1288
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:30,720
on it.
He, he, he was a paramedic for
1289
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,560
50 years.
And I rang him the day before
1290
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,240
and he's one of those blokes
that makes you look at your life
1291
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,120
going, oh, I've achieved
nothing.
1292
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,400
You know, he's just an absolute
unbelievable person.
1293
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:43,760
I call, I call it the life
resume.
1294
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,760
I love it.
Yeah.
1295
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,600
So he.
He's Have you heard of the
1296
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,480
Glastonbury Festival?
The music festival, Yes.
1297
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,240
Yep, Yep.
So he started.
1298
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:59,240
And runs the.
Charity that does all the
1299
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:04,240
medical provisions for that.
Nice, so they have over 5000.
1300
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,640
People and.
Like intensivists, they have
1301
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:12,320
X-ray machines, you name it.
And they all, they all donate,
1302
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,560
donate their time for free.
And then the money that would go
1303
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,520
to them goes to this charity and
then they do medical stuff
1304
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,439
around the world.
But anyway, I rank him and, and
1305
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,880
he, he, I knew he was English,
but I was like, and, and we were
1306
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,200
on the phone via Facebook and I
said, oh, I said, so whereabouts
1307
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,439
are you from?
And he said, oh, a little town
1308
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,279
in the southwest of England
called Burnham on sea.
1309
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,640
I said, get the fuck out of
here.
1310
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,920
And he's like, what?
I'm like, oh, that's where I was
1311
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,960
bought up.
And it is a town.
1312
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:47,399
Of less than 5000 people.
Wow, that's half the 1000 town,
1313
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,359
Yeah.
Man, yeah, my home, my home town
1314
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:51,960
just gets in here for.
People like 2.
1315
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,520
Years ago.
So when he's giving.
1316
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,399
When he's giving all these.
Stories.
1317
01:08:56,399 --> 01:09:00,359
It's like, holy shit, like that.
Yeah, it was it was really cool.
1318
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,240
Yeah.
He he went to Afghanistan and
1319
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:06,600
taught people how to de mine,
like first aid for people that
1320
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,439
do de mining and things like
that.
1321
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,160
It was just an extraordinary
man.
1322
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,120
Like de mining from from like in
the.
1323
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,760
Mine like mining for things or
de mining from picking up land
1324
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:19,399
mines yeah landmines sorry is
that we just.
1325
01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:22,640
Had a guy on.
Friday, That's what he did when
1326
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,040
he was in the.
Military, yeah.
1327
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,160
In the Army, he was I Yeah,
yeah.
1328
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:27,920
And the cool.
Thing that that that he
1329
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,359
explained to us, they have these
vehicles that are 30 feet off
1330
01:09:30,359 --> 01:09:34,920
the ground and they have the the
it's like an angle of iron.
1331
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,359
Whatever the vehicle, it's like
V shaped at the bottom.
1332
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:40,120
Yeah, V shaped the bottom of it.
So if they drive over an IED and
1333
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:41,560
it goes off it.
Explodes.
1334
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:45,880
That way it deflects the IED
away from the vehicle.
1335
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,240
Yeah.
So the the ones that he.
1336
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:52,680
Was he, he was teaching they
were Afghanis that were.
1337
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:58,480
So he was saying there's 100
million mines in in Afghanistan.
1338
01:09:58,480 --> 01:10:00,600
And what they used to do,
especially, especially the
1339
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,360
Russians, is they would throw
these little ones, these colored
1340
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,880
balls that had do you know what
Sycamore like what a Sycamore
1341
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:09,320
seed is?
They've got these.
1342
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,960
They're kind of like little
wings that come out so they
1343
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:13,720
spin.
Yeah.
1344
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,120
Yeah.
So it was, he said.
1345
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:16,680
They were colored.
And they were designed.
1346
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,280
For children to pick them up and
then they would explode.
1347
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,320
And they were designed to maim
children, not to kill them.
1348
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:23,760
So designed to blow their hands
off.
1349
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,240
That's terrible.
So there's A and they would they
1350
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,200
would throw 5. 1000 out of a
chopper.
1351
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,440
And they would go anywhere and
then these kids would pick them
1352
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:33,240
up.
So now there's 100 million of
1353
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,360
these things laying around.
So they're not buried.
1354
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:38,640
They could just be sitting in a
tree or or whatever.
1355
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,000
So they go around picking these
things up.
1356
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,120
They're not digging ones up.
They're actually picking these
1357
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,840
ones off the surface.
And they're, he was saying that
1358
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,680
all around Afghanistan,
especially in the especially in
1359
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,480
the mountain areas.
And he was saying, yeah, there's
1360
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,000
apparently 100 million of them.
And one in seven people in
1361
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,600
Afghanistan are missing a limb.
You got to remember the Russians
1362
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,960
were there for 10.
Solid years, and then we've been
1363
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,080
there ever since.
But what's kind of ongoing what?
1364
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,120
What kind of mind?
Does it take to willingly
1365
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,800
construct something that you
know is going to be used for
1366
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,920
that?
And then you order somebody to
1367
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,040
fly ahead and just throw these
things out the side of the
1368
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:22,120
helicopter knowing like full
well knowing you're going to cut
1369
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:26,520
off children's arms and, and and
hands and just to be a Dick
1370
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,640
like.
And The thing is, it's not like
1371
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,120
there's an off switch where you
can say, okay, we're no longer.
1372
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,800
At war and no longer doing this
right.
1373
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,440
They're around forever, that's
what I'm saying.
1374
01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:37,960
Like and even then back then.
They're doing it for the
1375
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,360
children, like the, like MM and
I are fascinated with serial
1376
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,760
killers, right?
And the biggest thing about
1377
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,680
serial killers, for the most
part, they have a code, right?
1378
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,400
No women, no children, right?
There's the there's the bad ones
1379
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,280
that do, but you just you draw a
line with the child does
1380
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:51,640
nothing.
Now, yes, the child can grow up
1381
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,680
to be Genghis Kong, right?
Or, or you know, Dahmer or you
1382
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,720
know, Donald Trump, right?
You know you're going to grow up
1383
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,560
to be somebody who's just just
malicious, right, and has just
1384
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,480
just a vile intention in the
world.
1385
01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:09,000
But it's a child, man.
It's, I just, I can't, I just
1386
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,280
the way he explained it, which
which fits into that is, is.
1387
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,800
What better way is there to
cause terror than sure,
1388
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,560
potentially maimed children?
So as a, as a parent, your job
1389
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,600
is to protect your child.
And that's the way to sort of
1390
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,560
yeah, to keep them in line.
It's I would, yeah.
1391
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,960
It's I would say you have to
understand that that kind of.
1392
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,800
Evil exists in order to combat
it, right?
1393
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:37,760
You can't just bury your head in
the sand and say people aren't
1394
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,120
doing that.
It doesn't exist, right?
1395
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,320
You have to combat that kind of
stuff head on.
1396
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,320
And that's why I say I'm on team
people.
1397
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,160
Yeah, look, more people doing
the job that I did, doing the
1398
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:49,600
job that I did.
It was.
1399
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,120
I just remember even within the
first week, realizing how
1400
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,400
privileged my upbringing was.
I say that because it's not
1401
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,160
until you see how the other side
live.
1402
01:12:59,480 --> 01:13:01,120
You know.
Obviously we, we deal with
1403
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:06,240
people in abject poverty or
drugs or or whatever, and you
1404
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:10,200
don't realize how well you are
off until you see that sort of
1405
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:11,480
stuff.
Correct.
1406
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,160
I, I, yeah, I would agree with
that.
1407
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:15,680
They.
Say if you make over. $30,000 a
1408
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,040
year, you're in the.
Top 1% of the world, people
1409
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,400
forget that, right?
Yeah.
1410
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:21,480
Yeah.
And a lot of Americans don't
1411
01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:24,520
understand that because they
always want more and more and
1412
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:25,720
more, right?
Right.
1413
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,560
We're a consumer driven nation.
Yeah.
1414
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,000
So that that was the one thing
that.
1415
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,000
When he said.
About asking you questions, the
1416
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,960
one thing I've never really
understood about you guys is
1417
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,600
your is your Healthcare is, is
just, it's just crazy.
1418
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,960
I believe it's the leading cause
of bankruptcy over there, and
1419
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,400
that it wasn't, it wasn't, it
wasn't, it wasn't bad.
1420
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,400
Like when my wife and I, my wife
and I've been my wife and I have
1421
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:54,160
been together for 30 years.
So we had our first child for
1422
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:58,880
like 10 bucks because back then
Blue Cross Blue Shield, there
1423
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,400
wasn't, it wasn't monopoly.
It wasn't a monopoly.
1424
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,000
It wasn't, it wasn't about the
money.
1425
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,600
It wasn't about the
pharmaceutical companies.
1426
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,400
You know, like you probably
heard how insanely expensive
1427
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,440
diabetes medication is and but
you can get Viagra for fucking
1428
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:12,680
$5.
Like really?
1429
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,440
There's a disconnect here, boys
and girls.
1430
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:18,040
OK, let's like, like I, I,
there's more and more stuff
1431
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:19,760
coming out now and again.
I don't know how much of his
1432
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,800
tied to AI and all that nonsense
because it's hard.
1433
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,680
It's hard to to discriminate
what's fact and fiction
1434
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:27,480
nowadays, but there's been stuff
being dropped that I've seen as
1435
01:14:27,480 --> 01:14:31,080
of late that there's there's new
medicine, medicine they're
1436
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,000
they're discovering in other
parts of the world that they're
1437
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,560
there's one that I saw that I
want to say I don't, I'm not
1438
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,680
going to quote, I'm not going to
guess the country, but somebody
1439
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,440
developed something to where
it's, it can help prevent 14
1440
01:14:42,440 --> 01:14:44,760
different various varieties of
cancer, right?
1441
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,640
Or that's true, I don't know.
But if you look at cancer in a
1442
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:53,480
whole, especially in the United
States, it's a multi $1,000,000
1443
01:14:53,480 --> 01:14:57,400
a year industry and it's one of
the most, you know, given to
1444
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,720
from a charity standpoint, if
any other things.
1445
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,520
How long does it take to find a
cure, man?
1446
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,400
Like how many trillions of
dollars do you have to funnel
1447
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:07,120
into something?
There's no money.
1448
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,280
What's that cure?
But right so.
1449
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:10,320
What are we giving the money
for?
1450
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:12,840
That's the that's the insane.
Thing so, so I don't get the
1451
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,040
health care either, but it's
it's over the years it's
1452
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,440
completely evolved and it's it's
it's turned into more I think a
1453
01:15:18,440 --> 01:15:21,160
more of a money making monopoly
than anything else because like
1454
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,800
my wife's a school teacher going
on her 20th year she pays her
1455
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,200
medical insurance.
So she's the sugar Mama medical
1456
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,360
right and it keeps going up
every year so they'll get
1457
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,120
they'll get like this 5% cost of
living raise, but the insurance
1458
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,520
will go up 12% So yeah, that's
fun.
1459
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,840
Now I'm 6% in the hole again,
right so.
1460
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,280
Our daughter her.
Husband jacked his ankle up so
1461
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,640
they went to an urgent care 1 I
don't know, two weeks ago or so.
1462
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,280
It kind of cost her 5 bucks with
the insurance she has, which is
1463
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:53,240
through the state because the
income that they make, which is
1464
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:54,960
insane.
So we have universal healthcare
1465
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:56,520
over here, right?
And see.
1466
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,120
Where I was going with that is
then us.
1467
01:15:58,440 --> 01:16:00,440
The other taxpayers, we pick all
that up.
1468
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,920
So then, you know, it's it's
it's bullshit.
1469
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,720
So universal Healthcare is like
a social, it's like socialism
1470
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:08,840
type thing.
I don't want.
1471
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,800
Yeah.
So we we, as is called Medicare.
1472
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:17,360
So all our hospitals and GPS, so
GPS are starting more and more.
1473
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,080
In fact, it's getting harder to
find one that doesn't have an
1474
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,120
out of pocket because they're
the GP.
1475
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,480
Even general raised General
practitioner.
1476
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,280
OK, Yes, yes, OK.
Yeah.
1477
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:28,040
I think you guys call them
primary practitioners.
1478
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,880
Same thing.
Yeah, so, but if, if, if you had
1479
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,400
a heart attack, if you broke
your broke your leg, you go to
1480
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,520
hospital.
So so earlier this year my wife
1481
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,480
we we discovered she had a
football size growth on her
1482
01:16:41,480 --> 01:16:45,520
uterus and just my wife had the
same thing like shoot you not
1483
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:46,720
like 3 or.
Four years ago.
1484
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,360
Wow.
Like on her?
1485
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,560
Yeah.
And.
1486
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:52,120
She.
She.
1487
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:59,560
So she had a, an MRI done on, on
Boxing Day and then and then six
1488
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,360
weeks later it doubled in size
and she had to get a full
1489
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,800
surgery and you know, full, full
labyrotics, a full zip, zip down
1490
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,720
the stomach and get it, get it
all out.
1491
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,720
Hysterectomy.
The lot didn't cost us a cent,
1492
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,920
right?
And anything, anything like
1493
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,960
that, it just general, General
Healthcare doesn't cost you
1494
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,840
anything.
Now, if it's, if it's an
1495
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,720
elective surgery, if you have
arthritic knees and you need a
1496
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,400
knee replacement, then you might
be waiting two years.
1497
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,600
OK.
If you have private health
1498
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:34,560
insurance, which we do, we do
have, and that's a choice to pay
1499
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,280
extra.
You can go to a private
1500
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,120
hospital, you'll get get in and
but there's cost, there's cost
1501
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,520
to that.
So you can pay for getting.
1502
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,040
It's not better healthcare, it's
generally quicker healthcare
1503
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:47,600
through a different system.
So you.
1504
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,640
So by paying for it, you're not
stopping somebody else getting
1505
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,760
it through the public system.
You know, you're just kind of
1506
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,120
going through a privately funded
1.
1507
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:01,360
So but, but if you're sick like
I, I, I remember seeing some
1508
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:06,280
comparisons of drug costs for
American versus what we pay.
1509
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,760
This would be interesting.
I was blown away.
1510
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,360
So really.
Oh.
1511
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,920
I, I, I would love to find that
the, the chart, the things that
1512
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:20,760
you guys were paying $1000 for,
we were paying 6-6 dollars all
1513
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,840
Yeah.
Wow, wow, that's where our.
1514
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,920
System is what we call the PBS.
The Pharm.
1515
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,640
Pharmaceutical Benefits.
Scheme.
1516
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,840
And that's where the government
subsidizes a vast amount of
1517
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,040
drugs.
Vast amount.
1518
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,360
The maximum you'll pay for
something on the PBS, I believe,
1519
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,560
is $32.
Wow.
1520
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:41,520
Now let's talk.
Let's let's talk.
1521
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,000
About keep this in mind, there's
only two countries.
1522
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,000
In the civilized world that
allows drug advertising, the
1523
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,440
United States and Peter, New
Zealand.
1524
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,560
Thank you, really.
So my question.
1525
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,560
My question is this.
About money. $32 in Australia
1526
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:03,600
equates to 32 how many dollars
in America I think.
1527
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,480
Any idea?
$32.
1528
01:19:05,480 --> 01:19:08,920
I think it's.
I think. $1.00 Australian is
1529
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,000
buying about 70 US OK cents OK
cents $0.70.
1530
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:20,200
Yeah, it's so 70.
So, so yeah, so if it's if it's
1531
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,800
if let's say it's $30 here, that
would be let's say 40, yeah,
1532
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,680
about 40.
OK, OK, OK.
1533
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,120
I just perspective, that's all.
No, sorry.
1534
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,760
It'd be about 20 dollars, $20 US
the other way around, yeah.
1535
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:32,480
Yeah.
OK.
1536
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,680
So I so I like that.
I like that.
1537
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,120
We need to.
Can we figure out how to make
1538
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,640
that happen here in America?
Well, that's why your drug costs
1539
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,040
are so high.
Because every 10.
1540
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:42,680
Seconds.
There's an ad on television
1541
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,360
saying, Chris, you need this,
Chris, you need this, Mike, you
1542
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,400
need this.
No, I don't know how correct it
1543
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,120
is, but I heard that the
pharmaceutical.
1544
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:52,760
Industry over there spends $2
billion a year in advertising.
1545
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,520
That's probably, that's probably
conservative.
1546
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,880
And and half of it's for for
erectile dysfunction.
1547
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,720
Or testosterone, because that's
all they seem to focus on is, is
1548
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,800
just testosterone, wrong
erections.
1549
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,360
It's like, OK, let's talk about
this, Let's talk about that,
1550
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:08,920
right?
You know, it's, it's ridiculous.
1551
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:14,640
So again with my ignorance if we
will find if a if a new drug.
1552
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:19,400
Comes on the market that's
important and let's say, let's
1553
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,080
say a Zimpick or you know,
although that type of drug not a
1554
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,600
Zimpick itself, well that's
going to come back to bite
1555
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,600
everybody agreed.
Very, very much.
1556
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,080
That potential?
Absolutely.
1557
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,360
But but let's say there's
something a new white control
1558
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:38,080
drug comes out on, the
government will actually do some
1559
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,560
advertising and say speak to
your doctor.
1560
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,360
There's no brands.
They'll just say speak to your
1561
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,360
doctor and then your doctor can
decide.
1562
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,880
So, yeah, yeah.
But at the same time, so you
1563
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,520
can't do any of that.
But they'll there's gambling,
1564
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,800
especially sports gambling
advertising has gone through the
1565
01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:59,640
roof in the last.
Well, here too, man.
1566
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,520
Here too.
Just especially once the NFL
1567
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,000
opened.
Up gambling and and partnered
1568
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,200
with and sort of the NBA and
then it's just it's non-stop
1569
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,320
it's insane.
How about casinos do you guys?
1570
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,800
Good question.
Are you a casino culture?
1571
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,520
Not really there.
There's no way that has.
1572
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:22,000
I think most major cities have
one casino.
1573
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,480
OK, otherwise that wasn't mine.
Yeah.
1574
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,920
So, so I mean, we've got, we've
got a casino.
1575
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,600
Up here in Townsville, so
Townsville.
1576
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,120
'S a a a regional city.
We've got about, we've got about
1577
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:42,000
260,000 people here and there's
probably, there's probably six.
1578
01:21:42,440 --> 01:21:47,960
Yeah, there's, there's 11 casino
and it's probably got 2 or two
1579
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,960
roulette tables in it, 6
blackjack.
1580
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:55,480
I can't play craps.
There's.
1581
01:21:55,480 --> 01:21:57,680
No craps up here.
There is in some of.
1582
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:00,880
The other ones in some of the
bigger ones, That's my game man.
1583
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:02,840
I love playing craps.
Never played.
1584
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:05,080
It oh fantastic seen it played
but.
1585
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:06,600
Never played it.
Fantastic.
1586
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:08,800
Do yourself a favor.
Put it on your bucket.
1587
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,240
List here's Here's a political
question.
1588
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,160
Like America, you know.
We have a president.
1589
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,960
What do you have in Australia?
Are you great, president?
1590
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,800
Democracy.
So we use the We're the.
1591
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,080
Westminster system which?
Is the same as the United
1592
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,640
Kingdom, so we have a Prime
Minister.
1593
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:29,200
So the way it works over here is
the country is divided into
1594
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,080
seats.
And I think you did.
1595
01:22:33,480 --> 01:22:34,720
We've only just had the
election.
1596
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:35,800
I'm trying to think of the
number.
1597
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:41,080
I think it was 75.
You need 75 seats in your party.
1598
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:45,680
And then of those people that in
that party, they vote for the
1599
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:47,600
leader and the leader becomes
the Prime Minister.
1600
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,720
OK.
So there's no one person that
1601
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,680
you're, you're, you're not
voting for the leader, although
1602
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:55,760
they kind of try and make it
that way.
1603
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,240
You're voting for your local
member.
1604
01:22:59,480 --> 01:23:03,240
And then those local members
work out who's going to lead
1605
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,480
them and they, they become the
leader.
1606
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:08,760
So in the middle of, let's say,
I don't know.
1607
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,040
So Anthony Albanese is our Prime
Minister.
1608
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:16,520
He just got reelected if in two
years time we three years, I
1609
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,880
think is our our cycle for
federal.
1610
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:23,440
If in two years time the the
Labour Party who are current
1611
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,680
current government party.
If they decide that I don't
1612
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,960
think Albanese stands no chance
in hell of being re elected for
1613
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:34,120
the next one, that somebody can
challenge him for the
1614
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,680
leadership.
And if he gets and if they he or
1615
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:40,360
she gets more votes, then they
become Prime Minister and he
1616
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:41,880
gets the boot.
He just goes back to the
1617
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,200
backbenchers.
So is there a term limb like
1618
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:45,720
like in America?
It's it's 2 terms.
1619
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,760
And that's it.
You can't, you can't run for 1/3
1620
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,080
even though, you know, Donald
thinks he's going to run for
1621
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,720
another term.
But here's it's 2 terms.
1622
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:54,880
That's it for president,
Congress and Senate.
1623
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,280
They can, they can be in office
for 70 years and, and not even
1624
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:01,240
show up to vote because they're,
they're so old and decrepit, but
1625
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,440
they're still getting, you know,
voted in, which is ridiculous.
1626
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,880
So do you have term limits in
Australia?
1627
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:08,000
No, we don't.
No.
1628
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,000
And and and I think that.
That's part of the problem.
1629
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,520
Like we're, yeah, there's people
been in politics for 30-40
1630
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:19,440
years, but they, they, so, yeah,
we, we have three different
1631
01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:21,640
levels of government.
We have local councils, we have
1632
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:26,040
state governments and federal
governments and they, they all
1633
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,320
run off the same type of system.
So we.
1634
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,920
So for our federal system, we
have what we call the House of
1635
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,480
Representatives, which is where
generally, but Yep.
1636
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:42,520
And then then they're sort of
check is what they call the
1637
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,200
upper house or the Senate.
So, so basically things have to
1638
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:50,480
go through the we can see how we
stole our system of government.
1639
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,160
Yeah.
Yeah, Yeah.
1640
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,120
This is all I think the biggest.
The biggest problem is that it.
1641
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:59,840
It has become very, we are
becoming more and more American,
1642
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:05,040
Americanized and we are becoming
more and more polarized, very
1643
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,640
much leading on from American
sort of culture.
1644
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:11,680
So the So that would be the bad
side of it.
1645
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:14,800
Yeah, I think so.
It's it's.
1646
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,840
Not something I'm a fan of.
So our head of state, a lot of
1647
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,200
people don't know, and I can't
imagine too many Americans would
1648
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,480
know we our head of state is the
king.
1649
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,440
Oh, OK, King Charles.
King Charles.
1650
01:25:28,440 --> 01:25:29,640
So we.
Are a part of the.
1651
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,400
Commonwealth from over in
England.
1652
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,720
So you're still an English
Commonwealth?
1653
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,440
OK.
Yes, yeah, we're part.
1654
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:37,920
We are.
Called the our our actual.
1655
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:39,520
Name is the Commonwealth of
Australia.
1656
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:46,120
So we there was a, there was a
what's the word?
1657
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,640
There was a vote of shit.
There's a word for a.
1658
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,440
Referendum.
There was a referendum a few,
1659
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:57,480
well probably about 15 years ago
to change to A, to leave the
1660
01:25:57,480 --> 01:26:00,800
monarchy and become a, a, a, its
own Republic.
1661
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,080
And it got defeated and, and it
was simply and, and it was
1662
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:11,440
defeated simply because there
was no real advantage for the
1663
01:26:11,440 --> 01:26:14,240
cost that it would have had.
No one could sell.
1664
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,000
It I like I voted.
No, because no one sold me on
1665
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,400
the advantage.
Like, I don't know, how's my
1666
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,960
life going to get better?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1667
01:26:22,440 --> 01:26:24,800
I mean they.
They're they're purely.
1668
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:29,680
In your big, big ceremonial
facet, that's all, yeah.
1669
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,120
They're your Big Brother.
Yeah.
1670
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:34,000
Oh yeah.
England I.
1671
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,200
Mean again, we're the most.
We're the most.
1672
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,360
Epic sporting rivals.
But yeah, we're we're the one
1673
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,040
thing I do love about Australia.
Compared to other.
1674
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:47,240
Countries is that sporting
rivals over here are fun.
1675
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:51,920
There's never any any animosity.
Like you might have a jab at
1676
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:53,840
somebody, but it's always done
in jest.
1677
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,480
Yeah, you very rarely get get
fights at sporting events.
1678
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:00,960
Yeah, it's, it is.
Starting.
1679
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,240
To sneak in.
With.
1680
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:08,600
Clubs that are a lot more
ethnically based so that you
1681
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,960
know, that can't that is and
that used to be a massive issue
1682
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,200
in soccer.
So within soccer back in the day
1683
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,880
before it became what what's now
called the A league, they had
1684
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,240
they had clubs based on
ethnicities.
1685
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:28,520
So they had Melbourne, Croatia
and, and you know, and so you,
1686
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,760
you were always going to have
this massive, massive fight.
1687
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,560
So they, they cleaned that up a
lot.
1688
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:39,720
So yes, so the most, the most
epic rivalry or in the biggest
1689
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,040
game is probably what we call
state of Origin, which is
1690
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,480
Queensland versus NSW, which is
actually what those balls are
1691
01:27:47,480 --> 01:27:49,800
behind.
He just got balls.
1692
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,480
And that's like you're.
I would call that the equivalent
1693
01:27:53,480 --> 01:27:56,760
of your All Stars.
Nice balloons.
1694
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:58,280
I don't.
Know how I did?
1695
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,280
Yeah, I was just going to say.
What the hell?
1696
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,760
Just saw balloons going.
It would be the equivalent of
1697
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:05,920
your All Stars, but it's All
Stars with meaning.
1698
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:10,120
So it's, it's, it's mate versus.
Mate, state versus state.
1699
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,720
But it's fun and it's, it's
there's never any animosity and
1700
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,800
and we don't have to worry about
coming out and getting shot.
1701
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,800
Yeah, well, and that's not
indicative of everything in
1702
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:22,440
America.
Because the ones of us that are
1703
01:28:22,440 --> 01:28:25,120
adults like Mike and myself,
it's it, it, it's a game.
1704
01:28:25,800 --> 01:28:27,320
It is what it is.
I mean, if you know, if the
1705
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,400
Giants from the Super Bowl, I'm
not going to go outside and and
1706
01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,720
and lift my my neighbor's
vehicle upside down, you know,
1707
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,960
in celebration, that's just
monumentally stupid.
1708
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,480
But you have that mindset still,
unfortunately.
1709
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,640
But it's not it's not something
that's shared on a whole.
1710
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,760
You have Philadelphia, there's
like that.
1711
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,760
Their fans are stupid like that.
Well, there's isolated
1712
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:48,000
incidents, right?
Right.
1713
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,840
And.
But that's the thing, you take,
1714
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,040
you take.
You take the isolated, you know,
1715
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:55,160
you take one small core of fans
that are just idiots and then
1716
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:56,960
they run it for everybody else.
It's like, that's why we can't
1717
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,120
have nice things, right?
I think what he's saying no, and
1718
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:00,720
correct me if I'm wrong, they
don't, but.
1719
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,920
That kind of stuff just doesn't
happen there.
1720
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:04,920
Right, Right.
That's what that's what I yeah,
1721
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:05,960
but that's what I was saying
like.
1722
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,840
From, from I was, I was kind of
debating with him a little bit
1723
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,640
that well, let me also put this
into perspective for people
1724
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,600
that's.
Also going to be a debatable
1725
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,200
issue, but I don't think so
because we have to consider the
1726
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,840
population density, right?
There's 350 million people in
1727
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,200
the same size as how many people
do you guys have?
1728
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:30,240
3027 million, 27,000,000 I was
pretty close.
1729
01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:33,440
That's yeah.
So they're basically the size.
1730
01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:34,920
Of Orange County, our biggest
city.
1731
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,160
Is I think for maybe 5 million
for Melbourne and Sydney.
1732
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,040
They're about 5 million each.
OK, So another thing that we
1733
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,480
need to clear up for.
Our listeners and viewers.
1734
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:49,400
Because Australia is completely
upside down for us, right?
1735
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:53,000
Like we could dig a hole and
find you is Christmas in July
1736
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,040
we.
Have Christmas in summer and
1737
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,760
that is something.
I still am not used to after 30
1738
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:02,360
years.
OK, so that's legit.
1739
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:04,360
That's great question.
When is is it?
1740
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,840
Is it December?
In the summer.
1741
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:11,600
December the 25th, but it's in
the December 25th so they they
1742
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,240
do do Christmas.
In July.
1743
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:17,800
And that's just a marketing
gimmick so that people can wear
1744
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:20,560
winter, you know, Christmas
jumpers and stuff like that.
1745
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:24,560
So, but yeah, our.
Christmas is generally.
1746
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,760
Seafood and sitting around the
pool and playing cricket or, you
1747
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:33,000
know, or or whatever it is.
It is not normal.
1748
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,240
It is to me.
It's really odd because I came
1749
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,320
from England when I was young
and cold.
1750
01:30:38,440 --> 01:30:41,640
Christmas is associated with the
cold in every literature and
1751
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:42,720
movie.
Us too, right?
1752
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,400
Yeah, right.
I grew up that way.
1753
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:45,360
Yeah.
Me.
1754
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:49,000
Too so, but it's so it's like
100 and. 20° outside and you're
1755
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,120
hanging out by the barbecue and,
you know, playing cricket.
1756
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,280
Yep.
Yeah, it's yeah and and.
1757
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,440
Drinking beer and eating.
Seafood there's no you know,
1758
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:03,360
some places do Turkey, but yeah
it's it's seafood is probably
1759
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,800
our number one Christmas food
now OK and then all your seafood
1760
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,360
obviously is fresh because you.
You're surrounded by ocean.
1761
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:14,520
It's.
Crazy, we export way more.
1762
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:19,160
Than we actually import and eat
more imported seafood because
1763
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,720
it's cheap and believe it or
not, it's cheaper to get prawns
1764
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,400
or a lot of seafood sent
overseas, processed and sent
1765
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,800
back than it is to actually do
it.
1766
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:31,200
Yeah, it's it's just so
ridiculous.
1767
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,080
So barramundi is probably our
number one most famous fish.
1768
01:31:36,440 --> 01:31:38,880
Yeah, and, and, and it's a bit
of a staple.
1769
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:43,320
And I think it's something like
70% of all the barramundi eaten
1770
01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:47,360
in Australia is imported.
Wow, I would have never guessed
1771
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,920
that.
So what's it is?
1772
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:51,120
It's.
Just nuts.
1773
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,280
What's the What's 1?
Thing that that Australians.
1774
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:57,560
Like you just gravitate towards
from an American thing like like
1775
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:00,680
like certain countries, like
they just they just fall head
1776
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,560
over heels of a red tag of
Levi's, right.
1777
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:04,840
And certain countries, they just
got to have the Jordans.
1778
01:32:05,440 --> 01:32:07,760
Is there something like that
that Australians would just, you
1779
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:11,320
know, move Earth and stone to
get something that it's
1780
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:16,400
American?
That's a good question.
1781
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,120
Thanks.
That is a great question.
1782
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,240
Nothing that, nothing that
really.
1783
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,000
Springs to mind.
There's a lot.
1784
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,600
Of.
I mean, fashion, yeah, fashion
1785
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:32,840
is very much influenced by all
the different cultural, you
1786
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,800
know, influences music or
whatever.
1787
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:40,800
Sure, Yeah.
I don't know.
1788
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:42,440
It's funny, isn't it?
Because we.
1789
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:48,320
The the world is so it's it's
come together.
1790
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:52,480
So much with the Internet like.
There's just, you know, and, and
1791
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,160
if we want something from
America, we just jump on Amazon
1792
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,520
and buy it right, right now.
So that's interesting.
1793
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:00,840
I was going to bring up Amazon.
Because Amazon's worldwide,
1794
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,280
right?
Yeah.
1795
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:05,080
So, so let's.
OK.
1796
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:09,040
So like what's the normal cost
of a brand new vehicle?
1797
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:11,400
In Australia, like here?
If you want to buy a 4 door Crew
1798
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:14,320
Cab pickup truck, you're like
120 grand brand spanking new
1799
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,200
that doesn't have all the bells
and whistles right.
1800
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,280
So say like do you have, do you
have American products as far as
1801
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:24,240
vehicles like Fords and Chevys
over there, the Chevys and.
1802
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,840
Dodge Rams and that.
Sort of thing have just started
1803
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:31,160
to come over here and then
they're around 200 grand.
1804
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,640
Wow.
So that's about 150.
1805
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,640
In American.
Yeah, probably slightly more
1806
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:39,240
than that.
So yeah.
1807
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:40,840
They're they're pretty.
Expensive.
1808
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:43,440
So what's the main thing you?
Guys manufacture vehicle wise
1809
01:33:43,440 --> 01:33:46,080
over there.
Is it the Subaru Outback?
1810
01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:50,880
No, we we lost all our.
Manufacturing.
1811
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,640
There is no cars manufactured in
Australia anymore.
1812
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:59,880
I think the Holden factory, we
used to do Holdens and Fords,
1813
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,880
the Holden factory closed, if I
had to guess, I'd say maybe six
1814
01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:07,560
years ago, seven years ago.
So you know how you guys have
1815
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:12,880
NASCAR, We have super cars over
here and the the ultimate and,
1816
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:17,000
and it was Ford versus Holden
and that that was the the big
1817
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,560
thing and it went for many, many
years and it was a real rival,
1818
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,320
you a real rivalry.
You kind of went for one or the
1819
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:27,200
other.
And they since Holden and Ford
1820
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:30,760
now go overseas, they're they've
now brought in like Nissan and
1821
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,280
other manufacturers and it's
lost its kind of lost its
1822
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:38,600
Australianism of it, that real
tribalism.
1823
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:44,080
So yeah, unfortunately there is
nothing that we make over here
1824
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:46,920
anymore, which is really sad.
So with.
1825
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:51,480
So I don't, I don't, I don't, I
correct me if I'm wrong, but
1826
01:34:51,480 --> 01:34:55,680
Trump can't control the whatever
you guys do from Australia to
1827
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:57,880
other countries, only between US
and America, right?
1828
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,560
Like he wants to tear a few from
American stuff.
1829
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,440
He can do that.
But you, you, you're not getting
1830
01:35:02,440 --> 01:35:04,880
tariffs like crazy for stuff
that you come from Britain or
1831
01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,200
other countries around you aside
from America, right?
1832
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:10,040
No, we've just, we've, I think
we've got free trade agreements
1833
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:11,760
with.
Pretty much everywhere, very
1834
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,160
cool.
Australia is net positive for
1835
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:18,800
America.
So you guys in you guys export
1836
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:24,320
more to us than you import.
So and one of our biggest
1837
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:28,960
imports to you guys is steel and
it's going to hurt us when with
1838
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,160
that that 20% tariff that's
because it was going to be 10
1839
01:35:33,480 --> 01:35:37,240
and then he's doubling it to 20
announced yesterday or day
1840
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:41,040
before.
So that could have some some
1841
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:44,200
flow on effects.
But at the same time, we have
1842
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:50,520
such broad export partners, then
I don't think it's going to make
1843
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,600
too much of a difference.
The difference will become will
1844
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:57,560
be the flow on effects from
America's influence on the
1845
01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:58,880
world.
So.
1846
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,160
So when when you go when when
those tariffs were first arrived
1847
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:05,800
and your stock market tanked as
as followed suit, we just went
1848
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,120
yeah, straight down the game.
I think a lot of I think a lot
1849
01:36:08,160 --> 01:36:09,440
of his thing is wishful
thinking.
1850
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:11,880
And then he.
He's just, he's who knows what
1851
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:13,360
the hell he's doing.
He's he's a whack A mole.
1852
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:15,600
But I don't, I don't, I'm
hopeful that it doesn't.
1853
01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:18,240
It doesn't do every because
every time he's tried to do
1854
01:36:18,240 --> 01:36:20,200
something with guards to that,
we've shut it down.
1855
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:21,880
Like, yeah, you're not doing
that.
1856
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:22,960
Yeah, you're not doing that.
Yep.
1857
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:24,560
Not doing that.
Now I get the China thing
1858
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:27,000
because China has been sticking
it to us for years.
1859
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:29,480
So I'm let's stick it right back
to them, right?
1860
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,160
Turnabout is fair play.
If we get, if we get charged,
1861
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,640
you know, if any people are
charging us to export import,
1862
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:39,760
then I'm, I'm the same.
OK, if they're going to charge
1863
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:42,920
us 10%, let's charge them 10%.
But don't do it to Peter.
1864
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,680
Peter's been my representative.
For Australia, as far as the
1865
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,600
Chris and Mike's show goes, and
he's been his outstanding
1866
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,360
representative of Australia.
So let's not let's not mess with
1867
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,080
Peter.
He seems like a friendly fellow.
1868
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,760
Yeah, I guess the the problem
with tariffs is that if.
1869
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:01,280
I'm, If I am a manufacturer over
here, I'd probably buy a huge,
1870
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:05,120
huge proportion of my things
from various countries,
1871
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,840
including China.
They're obviously the the, the
1872
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,560
world's biggest exporter of
pretty much everything, which I
1873
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:13,400
don't get that because China
being.
1874
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,760
That is that just because you
know, it's because they're cheap
1875
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,920
slightly.
OK, OK.
1876
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:21,920
Yeah, you.
Can do a lot when you
1877
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:23,680
essentially comes down to what
the what.
1878
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,160
They have little hands.
Exactly, you know.
1879
01:37:27,440 --> 01:37:29,880
And it's it's one of those
things every, everybody gets.
1880
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:34,080
On their high horse and says our
iPhones or Samsung should be
1881
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:37,240
made in America.
But you could probably going to
1882
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:41,760
be paying $5000 for it right?
Well, Apple came out and said.
1883
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:45,440
They're going to invest $400
billion over the next four years
1884
01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:48,280
so they can actually produce all
of their products in America,
1885
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,040
which I think is cool.
And and we'll see what kind of
1886
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:53,880
cost that carries over to the
consumer.
1887
01:37:54,440 --> 01:37:57,000
But like, you know, there's the
reason why Detroit was Detroit
1888
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,160
was because all the
manufacturing cars that were
1889
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,320
made, right?
I mean, that's that put the
1890
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:03,080
industrial revolution was
America.
1891
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:06,360
That's what our foundation is.
So now that everything's gone
1892
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:09,200
and being exported and we're
going to go build a factory in
1893
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,040
Mexico to build cars instead of
in America.
1894
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,280
Well, you know, it hurts our
economy, but it boosted that
1895
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:15,560
economy.
Yeah.
1896
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:17,440
And then you have all the tariff
stuff going back and forth.
1897
01:38:17,440 --> 01:38:19,640
So I think it's just a vicious
cycle that you just need to find
1898
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,600
a happy medium.
And so, to play devil's
1899
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,560
advocate, do you think that
would have happened if Trump?
1900
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:26,920
Didn't do these tariffs?
No, I don't think so.
1901
01:38:28,480 --> 01:38:31,120
So you know, is there a method?
Is that you know?
1902
01:38:31,400 --> 01:38:35,360
So.
It's one of those things that it
1903
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:39,320
could have good things for
America and very bad things for
1904
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,280
the rest of the world, but it's
kind of it's going to take a
1905
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,440
generation or two to actually
make up that that difference.
1906
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:48,880
Well, here's what I told Chris.
Many.
1907
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:52,640
Episodes ago when this first
started, in my opinion,
1908
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:54,520
everybody's looking at it in
reverse.
1909
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:59,120
They're not concerned about what
the results are to you and I,
1910
01:38:59,840 --> 01:39:03,880
because what I was seeing was
stock market manipulation right
1911
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,840
before everybody's eyes.
The rich got richer right there.
1912
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:10,600
They pulled the market down,
they bought it up and they,
1913
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:12,520
they're starting to drive it
back up.
1914
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:13,880
The rich are getting richer,
right?
1915
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:16,480
That's how they do it.
Yep, absolutely.
1916
01:39:16,480 --> 01:39:17,760
Do you have stock market in
Australia?
1917
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:20,280
Yeah, absolutely.
OK.
1918
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:21,440
Absolutely.
We.
1919
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:26,760
Heavily influenced by by
America, but it's also the hang
1920
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:31,640
Sai like the, the the Japanese
and and yeah, it's we're part of
1921
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,680
the world, the world economy.
Do you guys drill your own oil
1922
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:36,240
and stuff?
You're self-sufficient in that.
1923
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:40,920
Aspect we actually export.
We export.
1924
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:46,360
We have some of the highest gas
and oil prices in a in the world
1925
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,000
and we export the majority of
it.
1926
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,920
So see how then how is Mad Max
possible man?
1927
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:53,920
Because.
Mad Max was all about dystopian,
1928
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,880
you know, they ran out of
everything was at that point,
1929
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:58,160
but no but.
But they were.
1930
01:39:58,320 --> 01:39:59,640
But all those vehicles, man,
were.
1931
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,160
Driving, they all had gas.
They that's what what they were
1932
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:04,560
on the hunt for though,
remember?
1933
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,680
So they're wasting all the fuel
hunting for fuel, yes.
1934
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,040
And then, and then he had the
Thunderdome and all hell broke
1935
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,680
loose.
Tina Turner just raised hell.
1936
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:14,480
One man enter.
Two man 80s.
1937
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,880
That was 25 lbs of chain link
fence she wore.
1938
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:21,200
Yes, we export more more.
Oil.
1939
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,960
And natural.
Gas than we actually use how do
1940
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:27,200
you how do you which is so
stupid how do you.
1941
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:28,280
Export natural.
Gas.
1942
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:29,680
Man.
Is it just to?
1943
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,960
Throw a pipe, pipelines and
tankers.
1944
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,320
So the pipeline goes under the
ocean.
1945
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:40,520
Ocean.
Floor pipeline to yes, OK makes.
1946
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:41,360
Sense.
Yeah, I look.
1947
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,080
I don't.
Know enough to.
1948
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,920
Yeah, I don't know how to do it.
There's coal.
1949
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:47,640
Coal is a big one as well.
We do a lot of.
1950
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,760
Mining OK.
OK, cool all.
1951
01:40:51,480 --> 01:40:52,600
Right.
Well, boys and girls.
1952
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,360
This is the Crystal Mike show
you can find.
1953
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,280
Us on Instagram, Facebook and
YouTube, this is Peter Vinnicol
1954
01:40:57,440 --> 01:41:00,000
as I say that Peter, we're going
to, as far as I'm concerned,
1955
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:02,600
we're going to put.
You on our list of people to
1956
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:06,680
head back because I'm fascinated
with Australia and you've been
1957
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:08,880
awesome, man.
Thank you so much for your time
1958
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,520
and humoring us with all our
questions.
1959
01:41:12,440 --> 01:41:14,320
And if you want everyone, a
couple Americans on your show,
1960
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,880
we'd be.
Glad to be guests as well.
1961
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:19,200
You know, million percent or so.
Yeah, absolutely.
1962
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:22,880
Absolutely.
I'll give everything a plug you
1963
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:23,840
want, man.
That's what we're doing.
1964
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:25,360
Whatever.
You want to talk about you'd lay
1965
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:26,920
it on.
Yeah, my.
1966
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:28,760
Podcast is called Beyond the
Call.
1967
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,880
Experiences of high trauma
occupations say that one more
1968
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,400
thing have long conversation
beyond the.
1969
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,720
Call.
Experiences of high trauma
1970
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:41,160
occupations, OK.
And I talked to people in and
1971
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:46,600
around the high trauma space.
So be it defence or, or, or
1972
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:49,800
first responders.
I, I've had a professional, I
1973
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:54,440
had an NRL referee, I've had a,
I had an escort, a high class
1974
01:41:54,440 --> 01:41:56,200
escort from America on there as
well.
1975
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,880
Because, you know, all, all
trauma, trauma is a lot more
1976
01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:03,000
than what we see and what we
think and the, the effects it
1977
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:07,760
can have is huge.
I, I suffer from PTSI hate the
1978
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:11,520
word PTSD.
It's to me, it should be PTSI.
1979
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:14,560
It's an injury, not a disorder.
Nice.
1980
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:16,240
I like that.
I like that too.
1981
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:19,400
Yeah.
Disorder has such a negative.
1982
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:23,520
Connotation.
It does to it internally a dis
1983
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:27,680
I've got a disorder, whereas an
injury is a temporary can, can
1984
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:31,200
be a temporary thing.
So I'm still in the process of
1985
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:32,640
getting through that.
And I found it really
1986
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:37,160
therapeutic.
I've yeah, it's it's it's long
1987
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:41,040
form, but it's yeah.
And it's deep, dark and can get
1988
01:42:41,160 --> 01:42:43,280
graphic.
So, you know, if you're easily
1989
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:48,520
offended, don't, don't go there.
But yeah, it's, yeah, it's, it's
1990
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,400
really therapeutic.
So from a, from a, from a trauma
1991
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:53,760
standpoint are.
And so you have something like
1992
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,040
I, I went through a fair amount
of trauma in my child and
1993
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,800
growing up.
So from a vantage points I had
1994
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,840
come on, we talked about my my
trauma and stuff.
1995
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:04,600
Are you somebody that that
certified to kind of work
1996
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,160
through the trauma with someone
you just kind of sharing stories
1997
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:09,680
and how they how they adapt,
recover and survive through all
1998
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:13,040
of it.
So what I'm generally doing?
1999
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:16,600
Is trying to get stories.
That and no, I'm not certified,
2000
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:20,120
although it is something I'm
interested in, in becoming.
2001
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,240
I've spent time in mental mental
facilities myself as a patient
2002
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:29,800
and got a lot out of that.
I get people to come in and tell
2003
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:34,280
their stories and I like to try
and get them to, I want my
2004
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:39,200
audience to be able to identify
if they might be feeling or
2005
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:43,880
thinking something similar and
it might be enough for them to
2006
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:47,480
reach out and get some help.
So I'll go through the emotional
2007
01:43:47,480 --> 01:43:52,560
stuff that people go through and
and because the worst feeling
2008
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:56,040
about any sort of mental health
trauma is that you feel alone,
2009
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,320
right?
Couldn't agree with you.
2010
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,240
The only person.
Going through this, that's why
2011
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:03,280
we always.
Drop our show up with with if.
2012
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,880
If, if you're, if you're feeling
down, depressed, suicidal, you
2013
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:08,920
know Somebody Loves You,
somebody's going to miss you,
2014
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:11,600
make the call.
Go on Google, find somebody that
2015
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:12,920
can help you talk through the
problem.
2016
01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:15,240
If if nobody else is there, you
can reach out to Mike and I
2017
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,120
because somebody will miss you.
You don't, don't create a hole
2018
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:20,160
in somebody's heart because you
were struggling and didn't know
2019
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:23,120
how to deal.
Because everybody on some level
2020
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:27,000
has dealt with trauma in a
similar fashion and has has felt
2021
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:28,440
the same way at some point in
time in life.
2022
01:44:28,440 --> 01:44:31,400
Because nobody can say my life
is perfect from day one.
2023
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,240
No matter who you are, what
stage you are in life, what
2024
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,240
class level you are, you know,
low class, middle class, upper
2025
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,400
class, it doesn't matter.
Everybody has to deal with the
2026
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:42,960
bullshit that everybody else has
to deal with.
2027
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,240
It's just different for each
person and how they carry it and
2028
01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:48,080
how they process it.
So we never let the bad days
2029
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:49,960
when somebody's going to miss
you, Somebody Loves You.
2030
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:52,280
Remember that.
Because that's kind of why we
2031
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,080
started this because we're both
recovering out.
2032
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,160
I'm a recovering alcoholic, he's
recovering drug addict.
2033
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,400
You know, we both had those dark
periods of our life.
2034
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,440
Everybody does.
But it's, it's something like
2035
01:45:02,440 --> 01:45:04,200
you, which is really cool.
I didn't realize that's what
2036
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,640
your show is about, but that's
fantastic because you're you're
2037
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:11,280
helping people release that and
get it out of their systems.
2038
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:14,120
That could be very cathartic.
I know some of the stuff I've
2039
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:16,960
gone through getting it out.
My my benefit was writing and
2040
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,280
singing and performing.
I was able to purge that
2041
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:23,560
darkness and turn into something
positive as far as, you know,
2042
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,400
that aspect.
But a lot of people don't have
2043
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:26,920
that.
That's a million percent what
2044
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,840
music did for me, right?
And a lot of people don't have
2045
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:31,160
that outlet, so that's a cool
thing.
2046
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:32,920
That you do, man.
Well, the next time we have him
2047
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:34,920
on, well, that will be the whole
show, man.
2048
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,920
We'll just talk about this, you
know what, how you've started
2049
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:40,640
and how you got going.
And I'm super interested in that
2050
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:42,480
myself and I'll be tuning into
your show.
2051
01:45:42,480 --> 01:45:44,800
So yeah, absolutely.
Thanks, guys.
2052
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:48,080
Yeah, I.
Mean the, the the. 2 words that
2053
01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:52,360
are probably the most dangerous,
worthlessness and helplessness.
2054
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:56,160
If you feel worthless or
helpless, if you feel those two
2055
01:45:56,160 --> 01:46:01,120
things combined, your risk of
suicide is so high that that
2056
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,360
that's a red flag.
That's when you need to get some
2057
01:46:03,360 --> 01:46:05,320
help.
Because if we don't have things
2058
01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:08,520
that where we're going to look
forward, that's yeah, your risk
2059
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:12,440
is just through the roof.
And I've been to so many, I've
2060
01:46:12,440 --> 01:46:17,000
been to hundreds in my career,
and every one of them is one
2061
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,480
more than the needs to happen.
Yeah.
2062
01:46:19,480 --> 01:46:20,800
Agreed.
Amen to that, man.
2063
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:22,480
That's Peter.
He's Chris.
2064
01:46:22,480 --> 01:46:23,440
I'm Mike.

2065
01:46:23,440 --> 01:46:23,960

But you fuck will put you.

Back there to your.
Come down here, we haven't found
2081
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:07,920
solids in the sand.
You can fuck fight him.
2082
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:12,240
Wait for the dead.
Wait for the the wild you.
2083
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:14,600
Ain't.
No creature.
2084

Quick on the almighty day.
You got a dream.

Who in your life to keep our
soul in every man.

Take the trail behind your eyes.
Feel the soul, everyone.

01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:44,440
You shine now.
