Starting point is 00:00:00 A listener production. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Fishing Month. That's right, Mark, Zach and Broden. We get outdoors, we reconnect with nature, and we go fishing, try and catch ourselves a little bit of dinner. And some absolutely crazy wild things come up, because when you're out in the wild with a couple of wild boys things get a little fishy
Starting point is 00:00:34 uh go to the uh patreon if you're on patreon uh um uh what's the What's your honeydollarpub.com or something? Yeah. Yeah, it should be good. Well, you know, we've done a couple of firsts on this podcast fuck haven't we fuck first fuck we never fucked on them no we've never done the right that down car never fucked on the podcast I think it's been done write that down if there is a podcast where someone fucked stop listening to this. Go listen to that. I think there is one. At least one. I think there's many.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Yeah, but we'll get to that, Mark. You're introducing what we're doing. Was I? Yeah. Oh. Um... Ah, nah, he's throwing me. Shall I? No. No, just leave it with me. I just think it's important. There's probably a lot of background noise and stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Oh yeah. And the audio's probably been... Oh, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing. There's a middle ground. I've done a lot of firsts on this podcast. First car podcast? Yeah. First standing podcast, is that fair to say? Yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:02:07 What other ones? Boat. First boat podcast, how could we forget? But? First comedy podcast? Yeah, one of. One of. No. Zach, one of. Dozens, there were dozens before us. Yeah, but that's still one of. Dozens and dozens. If I've got a dozen eggs, one of dozens there were dozens before us. Yeah, but that's still one of If I've got a dozen eggs, one of the eggs is one of them So what's this one Fishing that's right to everybody listening. I reckon a lot of people are watching, you know You maybe saw a cool trailer for this. Oh, they're biting today. I thought how do I how how how do I how do I? How do I get on that? So a lot of you are probably watching, maybe on the Patreon,
Starting point is 00:02:48 if that's how we're still delivering videos. You're watching on the Patreon. But some of you might be listening. And I want to describe to you the visual, what you would be seeing as you know, as you sit in your, you know, wherever. Home. We are not sitting around a table. We do not have microphones in front of us.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Rather, we are sitting on outdoor fold-out chairs. Our microphones are clipped to our shirts. And in our hands, in our hands, is not an ad read. No, in our hands is one fishing rod each, because we're just a couple of blokes, three blokes. Lads. Three lads. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Three blokes, three lads, who, sure, they might live in the city now, but we wanted to just take it easy, get away from the hustle bustle of the city life, sit down and do some gosh darn fishing. Yeah, maybe rather than going to, maybe rather than going to your local Coles or your Woolworths or your Fishmonger, go out and rather than say,
Starting point is 00:04:12 can I get 500 grams, can I get a kilo of whatever's on special flathead, cod, trout, chicken breast, yeah if you're at a variety store. Dove soap. Cod. Cod. Trout. Chicken breast. Chicken breast. Yeah, if you're at a variety store. Dove soap. Dove soap. Well, I don't think you can catch your own dove soap. Oh, you can if you have enough fat. Have you seen Fire Club?
Starting point is 00:04:36 So what we've done instead is we've thought, well, why don't we, instead of going to the shops, that was where this idea started. We were going to do the first podcast at the shops. Yeah, ordering food and ordering groceries for dinner at the shops, that was where this idea started, we were going to do the first podcast at the shops. Yeah, ordering groceries for dinner at the shops. And we couldn't get a sponsor for that, so we thought, well, instead of the first podcast where you see someone buying their lunch, we thought, why don't you see the first podcast or listen to the first podcast where they catch their lunch. And that's what we're doing here today. So it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:05:12 It's that on one level. It's also an examination of when you're 450 odd episodes deep into a podcast. What do you do? What do you do? We are doing the podcast trio equivalent of a couple exploring knife play. When you're at the bottom of the barrel. And nothing, yeah, nothing. But we are dragging the knife across each other's skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Cause how do you find that excitement? I don't know about that. No, you need, no. He's right. You need to go to more extreme places to find that passion, to find that drive. And sexual deviancy in the bedroom, I think, is akin to having a comedy, an improvised comedy podcast. So this is the equivalent of impact play. So we've gone down to a sort of deserted area of the coastline in Melbourne. No, there are no chock fudge brownies in sight here Broden.
Starting point is 00:06:22 What did I say? Dessert, dessert. The deserted area. There are no ice cream stores. No you mistake my meaning of the word deserted. Right what do you mean? Because I get deserted after dinner. Is that the act of having dessert? We go out and we get deserted. me and my wife, we'll have a nice meal and then we go, it's time to get deserted, go down there. Yogi! Get a cuppa, get a cuppa yoghurt. There's no point arguing with him, he's a fool. I'm not, we're not arguing are we? Are we having a fight? I'm mad at you.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Really? That's just because you haven't caught anything yet. They're biting today though. So that is right, we are fishing right now. I'm trying to get a snap of it. Maybe we'll include it in the edit. I think it'll cross the wide shot behind us. Now, how do you feel 400? This is a great time to check in and just say, how do you feel?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Do you feel like it's stronger than ever? Or is the fishing kind of represent, maybe we need to stop and rethink, look at what we're doing with this. When we started this, in the first episode we did, in a small cubby house, at the original Stupid Old Studios in Brunswick, just talking into some microphones, hoping for the best,
Starting point is 00:07:42 uploading them to SoundCloud. Crossing our fingers. Crossing our fingers and hope there's a helicopter coming over. But that's part of just being outside. How do you think we're just going from strength to strength or do you think? I don't see this so much as a step up or a step down. I see it as a reset. It's nice to just relax with my blokes. Yeah, and do something. Do connect, because I was going to ask,
Starting point is 00:08:13 what are your memories of fishing? Sure. If you have any, have you been fishing before? Where have you been fishing before? Who did you connect with on that level? Yeah, that's a great question, Mark. Because for me... Oh, sure, sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Well, I was just going to say, fishing is when you cut the act. Mm. You cut the shit. Mm. Right? No more hiding behind the mask of daily life. It gets stressful, you know? It does get stressful. You gotta hold it together for your misses. This is where we get, metaphorically,
Starting point is 00:08:51 this is where we get nude. And we can get nude if you want. If it's feeling like it's not going anywhere and we need to pull another cut out of the desperation pile, we could all get naked here, we could all get nude. I don't think this is a desperation moment. I think this is a... You say desperation, I say relaxation.
Starting point is 00:09:10 You know, sure, I would love to get a fish. What's more relaxing than being nude in a natural body of water? Well, we're quite self-conscious, you know. We're across from one of the largest ports in the metropolitan area. Port Power? We've got a lot of people walking past. We're recording this here at the Warmeys. I see the Westgate Bridge in view.
Starting point is 00:09:34 There's a lot of people looking and I think, sure, in theory, being nude might be relaxing, but I worry that if I were to get nude, we'll get to what's happened with you there Mark in a second. I worry that getting nude would actually make me feel stressed because I'd be breaking the law. Now Mark, do you want to talk about what's happening there with your fishing rod? Oh no, you're just having a small malfunction. Oh, the waves are coming in but we'll get to that. Well, I think it's probably right to say that there are no hooks or bait. I would like to keep the illusion going.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Alright, because my rod got some fishing line caught in it earlier. I can't even twirl it around, make it go up and down. But just then the whole reel part of the rod. You know, you've got the the whole real part of the rod. You know, you got the rod, you got the real. I think it's all real. It's funny when you say real. Yeah, like tangible, yes.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Broden. R-E-E-L. Who at his core is a theater actor. When he hears real, he hears R-E-A-L, real. Oh, that's what you're searching for when you're on this stage. Yeah, now when I hear real as a film buff, I hear R-E-E-L, sure, but I see a reel of 70mm film, maybe Quentin Tarantino's hateful eight.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Me, I see my Instagram feed, and I see all the great reels that bring me joy at 2am when I can't sleep and I'm just fucking endlessly, endlessly scrolling through them. Oh, I might have a bite there. Oh, you gotta bite? Oh yeah, they're biting tonight. No. I haven't chatted with you guys like this in years. It's nice to just switch off.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Reconnect. It gives a quality that I'm sure this podcast is a very different quality to what people are probably used to. It's like ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra What's your earliest fishing memory, Zach? Probably the jetty at Cows. Down the end of the jetty at Cows with my family. Oh, my rod's back. I fixed it. I'm sharing that. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I was very excited because my rod's back. I fixed it up. That's fine. I don't know how. Now, Mark, you interrupted. Zach was about to really open up with the lads I was just, I was very excited because my rod's back. I fixed it up. That's fine. I don't know how. Now Mark, you interrupted, Zach was about to really open up with the lads and just sort of share a cool story of him and the boys.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Or maybe why he is. Well the OG boy and my dad. Your Stan is the OG boy. You know like when you think about your boys, right? Who's the first boy? You know who's the first of your boys? It's your dad. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:26 What do you mean? It's all about just hanging out with the boys, you know? But what do you mean by first boy? Who's the first boy? You know, hanging out with the boys? You know, just chilling with the boys? Right now I'm chilling with the boys. Who was the first boy?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Who was your first boy? Jesus. But he wasn't the first. No, who taught you about the boy? Who taught you about the boy Jesus? I feel like I just always knew. No, no, you were taught by your dad. But he did turn bread into fish or something. That's...
Starting point is 00:13:00 Okay. It's all cyclical is what I'm saying. He didn't have a boy. His boy was up in heaven. His first boy. His first boy? His first boy was up in heaven. God?
Starting point is 00:13:15 God is his first boy. Is my first boy your dad? Oh, because it's his dad. No, unless you met my dad first. So I guess what you're saying is everyone has a different first boy. No, no. Everyone's first boy is their dad. Except for Jesus.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Because his first boy was actually Joseph because Jesus didn't meet his dad. Well, he knew his dad, it depends on you. But then everyone does have a different first boy if it's your dad. Not my dad. It's not my dad. No, no, I first boy if it's your dad. Not my dad. It's not my dad. No, no, I'm not saying it's your dad. If everyone's first boy is their dad, then that's a different first boy. My first boy is different to your first boy.
Starting point is 00:13:53 No, it's your dad. Yeah, but it's not your dad. No. So it's a different boy. But it's the same first boy. It's the same category of boy. I share a first boy with my brother. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Right, so not everyone has a different first boy. So everyone, everyone. What? Not every boy has a different first boy. Some people have the same first boy. Yeah, some people have the same first boy. If, yeah, siblings, exclusively. No. Half siblings. What about, I would have the same first boy. Yeah, siblings, exclusively. No.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Half the boys. What about, I would argue the first boy may be a doctor, who delivered a male doctor. But he's not one of your boys. He's someone you, you know. Oh, they're biting. So the first, so, cause what, in your life, Zach, what does a first boy come to mean to you? Cause to me it means something pretty different. No, first boy was a concept I introduced.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Yeah. And my definition of first boy is a dad. Yeah right. So you can't tell me first boy means something else. First boy is my concept. I mean, I mean. Language is ever changing Zach, you don't own the phrase first boy.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But... Did you ever use the term first boy before I said first? I said it a couple of times, I think mostly by accident. But I have said first... I've said those words for sure. In a sentence before. Yeah, I'm sure I've said first boy. But the concept of a first boy being a dad...
Starting point is 00:15:22 Well, I have a friend whose name is boy. And one time I was... it was who was gonna get, go through the door first. You have a friend called Boy? Yeah, I have a friend whose name is Boy. I think you're lying. They're Dutch. Boy.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Boy. Their name is Boy. Hello, it's me, Boy. And there was one time we went out for dinner and I opened the door and everyone said who should go first and I went, oh, first boy. That's not true. Yeah, that's not even how you would say it. No but it is a scenario that could have happened because there isn't.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Anyone's called boy. No there is their name is boy. Boy genius. I think the scenario would be um let's look at the box office for New Zealand at the moment let's see what local films are doing well in the box office. There you go. But you would just say boy. What's first boy. I go first boy. at the moment, let's see what local films are doing well in the box office. There you go. But you would just say boy. What's first boy? First boy.
Starting point is 00:16:08 First boy. By Taika Wood Titi. First boy. Coming first boy. By Taika, yeah that could happen. But do you understand when I say first boy I mean it as a phrase or a word. Yeah for your dad. Mark would you be open to saying that maybe you didn't, you never used the phrase first boy before,
Starting point is 00:16:27 Mark said first boy. In that context. I don't wanna, I don't wanna lie to anyone. So if I were to say I've never said first boy before, I feel like that would be a lie. But when have you used first boy? Because I'm putting to you that the Dutch friend called boy
Starting point is 00:16:46 Is something you've made up? No Do you have any proof of this man? He was the man of honor at my wedding was he there when you were born? Boy boy. No, I'm older than boy. So then first Boy, he was the first boy. I meant named boy That's your first boy. He's the first boy I met named Boy. That's your first boy. He's the first boy. Have you met any other boys? No one called Boy.
Starting point is 00:17:08 So you've never met anyone else called Boy? Not a boy called Boy. So he's the only boy? Yeah, I guess I have an only boy. No, but that's to say that he will never meet another boy. But sure, when he meets a second boy, only boy becomes first boy. And I'll be happy to add another definition to first boy,
Starting point is 00:17:27 that I'm happy to add a two. So at the moment he's only boy? So right now you've got the dictionary definition, you look up first boy as first boy noun, father indicating the first of your boys. Two. What an only boy becomes when you meet a second boy. Yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:51 I'm so happy to concede that. Yeah. Hey, agree to disagree. Yeah, isn't that great? If this was in the podcast studio, we'd be at each other's throats. But here at Fishing, you know there's something a little more foundational. Because when was the last time you were out in the wilderness? I wouldn't call this the wilderness. Why? Why not? Because like I can see the Westgate bridge, I can see two major crater ships being loaded up, I can hear a school bell. You're not mentioning the seagull.
Starting point is 00:18:23 The seagull. You're not mentioning Lucy. I can see a school bell. You're not mentioning the seagull. The seagull. You're not mentioning Lucy. I can see a man fishing over there. I can see a gigantic factory within walking distance. Well, that's the gas power station, the Newport power station. But my dad used to work with- Your first boy. My first boy.
Starting point is 00:18:39 My first boy dad. Well, you shouldn't have to say dad. Yeah, because we all understand the definition. If you're so stringent on your first boy thing. But, no, dad is my first boy. Yeah, but you should be able to say my first boy worked over there. My first boy, his name is dad.
Starting point is 00:18:57 No, your first boy's name is Stan. To you? Well, I call him dad. Yeah, to him, he calls him dad. Is your mom's name mum, or do you say I call her Dad. Yeah, to him he calls him Dad. Is your mum's name Mum or do you say, I call her Mum? Do you know what I mean? To me, who's Mum?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Your mum. My mum. Yeah. If I was to say Leone is my mum, her name is Leone but I call her Mum. Her title is Mum. So, his mum. I call her Mum. What's your mum?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Madeleina. Madeleina. I know her as Madeleine. My mum your mum, I know as mum. Excuse me? He knows your mum as mum. I know her as mum. You call my mum mum?
Starting point is 00:19:32 We all do. Would you call my mum now and call her mum? I mean, yeah, pop her on. No, I don't feel comfortable. You don't want to call Leona and call her mum? No, I don't feel comfortable with that. She's just on the Gold Coast visiting my auntie. I don't feel comfortable calling Leona and call her mum? No, I don't feel comfortable with that. She's just on the Gold Coast visiting my auntie. I don't feel comfortable calling Leona and saying,
Starting point is 00:19:48 Mum, I hope you understand. Call her. No. I'd give it a go. I want to be honest with you. I was lying. You don't call her mum? No, I call her Leon, if anything.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Oh, hello. Yeah, usually just, yeah. But my dad, the first boy for me, my first boy. Dad, my dad, my dad. Your first boy. My dad, my first boy. I just think it cuts through... I think it cuts through that whole pontificating around you're saying it's
Starting point is 00:20:27 first boy I've made this phrase this and that but you are undercutting it by both calling him dad and Stan after calling him first boy. So my dad is my first boy. Yeah I know that. And I know him as first boy dad. You don't call him first boy dad. Well I do. What do you save dads in your phone? Dad. Dad Ruayne. Dad Ruayne? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Why did you need to specify Ruayne? Because if I ever met another dad. Because he's my first dad. Yeah. In the first, it's first boy sense. Yeah, because my first boy, because my first boy is a boy called boy. My first boy in Zach's world is my first dad.
Starting point is 00:21:14 What? So if I met a man named Dad, my only dad. No one's called Dad. So Dad is my own, my first boy Dad. My first boy Dad is my only dad. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:30 If I met a second man named dad, then. He'd be your first dad. He'd be my first dad. Yeah. Boy? First boy, first dad, dad Stan. Does this make sense? No, no, I actually am enthroned by it. What I'm trying to say is from time to time my first boy,
Starting point is 00:21:48 my first boy, only dad, Dad Stan, he used to go to Newport sometimes. Dad Ruane. To work. Dad Ruane. As opposed to Dad Banana. So to answer your question Mark, no I haven't been out in the wilderness much. Oh right. But I wouldn't consider this the wilderness.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Oh it's pretty wild for me. It's 20 minutes from work. Get from me. I uh... This is crazy. For a short time was a vulca- vulcanoist. What's that? Vulcanist.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Vulcanist? Uh I would go to... Hot lava? Yeah I would go to sort of Hawaii or Indonesia. Sicily? Yeah. And I would go when a volcano... there's about 50 eruptions a year. They often show signs they're going to erupt.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I would go with my husband, my French husband, and we would go and shoot the beautiful imagery of the lava and the wreckage. But after a bit of hubris in Japan in 1991, we were both taken by the volcanoes we love. That's interesting. That reminds me of when I was a... I was really into grizzly bears. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Really? Yeah. And then this bloke, Verner, came and visited me. Did you meet Verner? I can't remember. I thought you... I don't think you ever met Verner. I've not seen the film.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Yes you have. I've not seen Grizzly Man, no. And then they ate me for dinner. Yeah, I don't think you ever met him. I've not seen the film. Yes you have. I've not seen Grizzly Man, no. And then they ate me for dinner. Yeah, I don't think he ever met you. I think he would just look at your footage. Similar to mine. So after we died, Verna did a requiem for me and my husband. We're both French.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Really? And he talked about our beautiful imagery. The only requiem I was involved in was sort of this night after a big heroin bender. Ah. Where I got um... By the way, where's your arm? Got slammed either side. Pardon?
Starting point is 00:23:53 Where's your arm? My arm. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, lost that. Shot up too many times in the same vein with a dirty needle. But uh... Is that a Werner Herzog film? No, no, that's...
Starting point is 00:24:07 No, it's Darren Aronofsky. Do you know why actually, a lot of people don't know this about me, but I am the oldest cave paintings in the world. You? Yes, I am the oldest cave paintings. What do you mean by that? So I am in France,
Starting point is 00:24:20 maybe a few decades ago. Yeah. Cave opened up, a cave that had been sealed for thousands of years opened up and people found the oldest cave paintings in existence and they'd been preserved because the cave had been sealed. I am that cave and those cave paintings. Unbelievable. And Verna Herzog came and he shot me in 3D with 3D cameras. Can you shoot someone in 2D? No, no, well, I am 3D. But people, the French government
Starting point is 00:24:56 grants very little access because they don't want to damage me. Yeah, right, right. So Verna came and shot me in 3D. And I know I don't watch films, I'm a cave. But he I think made a documentary out of me. Right. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:25:12 France, that's where that revolution happened, right? I couldn't tell you, I was sealed up at the time. So Broden's string isn't even in the ocean, so I'm concerned about Broden's ability to catch... I'm going to get up and throw mine back out there. To catch a fish. You got that down? You know how to...
Starting point is 00:25:33 No, for... You want to hold, you want to put your finger there? Can we get someone to put the... Can we get someone... Broden, we're going to just break the illusion that we're alone here and get someone... Lucy, put my ball in the water. And then, Broden, flip this. Flip this over. But put your finger on the line.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Clip it off. Alright, so your reels come off again. Your whole reels come off. Off the rod. It's alright. It's not... I didn't catch anything but probably the only thing I... Probably the only thing I... The way it's going, the only thing I'm worried about us catching is Wait wait wait wait wait I want it I want to do it If we put like this right in
Starting point is 00:26:09 What you were gonna say then Okay yeah go we'll just we'll beep it or something But no I want it I want to be the one that said the joke Yeah do it yeah go I've I've I've You promise not to cut it? No we'll cut mine we'll beep me so your reels. We'll beat me. So your reels come off. You go get your reel. I got it.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Your reels come off there. Clip it in. God, they're biting. They are biting today. My line has been fucking taught since we pressed record. What do you think of that? Scroll it back up. My only thing I think I'm probably gonna catch today
Starting point is 00:26:40 is the cold. Broden, let this go. Broden, I surely hope not. And then you spin it back in. Otherwise we won't be going down to BCNF after this to get. That was, can you tell people about your hope for these podcast episodes? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:26:57 Well, you said we'll get a sponsorship from BC, Broden Camping Fishing. I was really hoping we would get a sponsorship from BCF because I know they've got that BCF money. And you know, because people are, because fishing is what, national pastime, would you say? No, not really. But it is,
Starting point is 00:27:21 it is, you know, people do do it. People do do it. People do do it. And the people that do do it need their equipment. They need to buy it. Could you...? And we're, you know, we're... And to be... All right, this is very important to mention. I don't know how we haven't mentioned it so far.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Because we are fishing with Okuma Vibe Rods. And I'll tell you what, it's a bit of a vibe out here, isn't it? No. Hmm, not really, no. Yeah. But, but, but, what is fair to say... What? What is fair to say is that when someone decides to go fishing, they need certain bits and
Starting point is 00:28:08 pieces to make that happen. Right? Is that fair to say? Can I fucking say that? Yeah. Right. Is this your pitch for an ad? No, I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I've been thrown a bit to be honest. Why? What's thrown you? Oh, oh, oh. You got a bite? My line is fucking taut. Mark, just on your boating, camping, fishing, just to talk about that, because I think it's a great point.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Do you think... Do you think... Why do you think the industry of fishing is so clouded with depression? Of shishing? Of shishing. Of shishing. Come on. Why is the industry so clouded with darkness and dark clouds and sadness and misery? Yeah, well fishing's gone through some hard times.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Back in your cavemen days, it was simpler then. You ate your stick. You talk to Tom Hanks and him in the castaway. In the castaway. The bit that I always took away from castaway, the bit that really resonated with me, was when he saw the big crab legs. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Because on the island, the crabs were much smaller. What? Yeah. In castaway, the bit that stayed with me, this lives in me. He goes, pah. He picks up a big crab leg at the end and he goes... And he has this moment. Really? He has this moment where he's...
Starting point is 00:29:34 Because on the island, if you know Castaway... Do you know Castaway, Broden? I watched it once. Yes, sir. Yeah, it's a simple story of a man works for FedEx. FedEx. Gets stranded on an island. And the FedEx is a metaphor for how easy you can get any FedEx.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah. Anyway, you go on. No, but it's true. And it's also about the tenacity and determination of the FedEx delivery man who will deliver something at any and all costs, not even being stranded on an island and having to fuck a volleyball can stop a man. He doesn't, he at no point fucks a volleyball. You don't know that.
Starting point is 00:30:15 He may have, but he doesn't fuck it. He would have fucked it. He would have fucked it. I would think this is gonna get complicated. Holy shit, a fish. I'd fuck one of the fish. Just jump down the water. Hey gents.
