Starting point is 00:00:32 Enjoy this week's episode of the Aunty Donna podcast on podcasts. On podcasts? Yeah, just on, uh, on, listen where you get podcasts. Wherever you get your good podcasts. Wherever you get your good podcasts. Wherever you get your good podcasts. Oh yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-one, twenty-two,
Starting point is 00:00:56 twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five. Hello everyone. Welcome to the Aunty Donna podcast where today we're talking politics with two people from Perth. You may know these characters. When I say characters, I don't mean like, heightened characters. I don't mean like Austin Powers. I just mean like they got a lot of character. They're a couple of larrikins, you would say South African larrikins. But
Starting point is 00:01:32 I wanted to bring on these two people. One, to just take a bit of a break from talking because sometimes I talk too much. It's nice to, you know, not have to sometimes, but also just to get an idea of what's going on politically in South Africa right now. So I thought bringing on two experts in South Africa would be a good idea. Sam, Sam, how are you today? Oh, hello there, Mark. Mark, hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I think it's odd that you've asked us to talk about the sort of situations in South Africa, because I'm basically Australian. I've lived in Perth since I was like a baby boy. We are from Perth, Mark. Do you know what that is? I know what Perth is. Sure. I call it a robert.
Starting point is 00:02:21 You know, when I go through, when I'm driving my Lambo, I'd call it a robert. Call what a robert? But I live in Perth. I've lived in Perth for a very long time. You notice that you've got accents right. So that's sort of your closed mind thinking. I think that's a bit xenophobic. Xenophobic. I'm not xenophobic.
Starting point is 00:02:35 No, I think it is a little bit, you know. You need to open your mind. I am not scared of being zen and being sentient. I'd never seen anything resembling racism or xenophobia until I moved to Australia. That's right, it's a shame, it has long issues, but what I'm saying is you've heard my accent, Mark! I have. You've heard my accent, I have. And you don't realise that, oh well, your robot brain goes, and I'm not talking about traffic lights, I'm talking about your robot brain. You are saying, well that accent I don't know, it doesn't
Starting point is 00:03:03 sound like I'd hear to the shopping centre. So yeah, sentient is... Oh they must know everything about you know what's going on in South Africa. I don't know Mark. My Prime Minister is Elbow. My, my, my Premier is Mark Gowen Mark. Mark McGahn.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Mark you understand that right? Mark not you Mark. You're not the Premier Mark. I just think you know, do you know about the situation in WA Mark? No I suppose I don't. Mark McGaughan! There's like basically no Liberal Party. Now I'm not saying we try our vote Mark.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm not saying we try our vote. Right? You can. No but I'm not going to. We're Liberally, Economically Liberal. I'm Economically, right, I'm Economically Conservative. I'm Economically Conservative but I'm economically right, I'm economically conservative, I'm economically conservative, but I'm socially liberal. All right. Do you know that meds mark McGon? Meds.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Do you understand? Right, but I'm not going to say which way I vote, all right? All I'm saying is Labour put the tax on my Lambo. Right. Right, you understand? Labour put the tax on his Lambo. My Lambo is 50k more than it would have been. Just because you vote state wars in one way does not mean you have to vote state wars in a federal comp situation. But do you know the situation that's happening in WA right? There is virtually no Liberal Party. You essentially have a dictatorship under Mark Kahn.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And I don't say any I'm not going to say which way I vote. But it is not okay to not have a strong robust opposition. Even though he's retired no longer Premier of WA of W.R. No, he hasn't been the Premier for a while now. It's Roger Cook. Roger Cook. You understand? Roger Cook. Roger Cook. Yes, I understand.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And Roger, but he's the same, right? They just go, oh, there's a Lambo, put the tax on it. Right? They just put the tax on everything. Or Ferrari or Porsche. Right? They just go, they put the tax on all of the Lambo's. Luxury cars, man.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Luxury cars. And I go, but what about all of the people that did employees, Mark? You understand that? Yeah, but it is a luxury. Yes, but does that mean I'm already paying tax? So it's a luxury to have a sort of a pinnacle order on the bench at Cortislo. Well, that's why there's general service tax on that. So it's a luxury to have a sort of a pinnacle order on the bench at Courtesloe. That's why there's general service tax on that.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And now they're taking away my, have you heard about this stage three? Stage three, they're taking away nine grand of my profit tax cuts. I was getting ready, I'd made plans around that tax. He lied to us, Ilbo lied! They lied to us, Mark. They lied to us, you understand. I understand that Ilbo lied to us. I just don't think, I want to know, Rot, if you, cause I don't want to talk about politics.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I don't really engage in politics. I was trying to, I wanted to, I wanted to try and just learn a little bit. I thought maybe bringing up something, you know, that's quite heavy. Okay, pop quiz. Where do you think we're from? Well, tell us, what do you think? Johannesburg. No more.
Starting point is 00:05:43 See, this is your xenophobia Mark. Right, I'm virtually Australian. You've said that you've grown up in... Your xenophobic Mark. I go to Joburg once a year right, to see my grandma, to see like, to go, and I go in, I go through the first gate. Where were you born? I was born in Joburg right, and we'll go...
Starting point is 00:06:01 So when you say where are you from... But we'll fly in Mark, we'll fly in, I'll get off the plane, there's a man there with a little sign with my name on it, it says Sam and Sam, and we'll get in his car, right, he'll drive us straight to grandma's sort of estate, right, the neighbourhood. I go through the first gate into that neighbourhood and then I go into the next gate for her street and then I go through the next gate for her property and then I go through the next gate for the main residence. I understand. Do you think we go there to go to Gold Reef City theme park? Do you understand Mark? We are through 17 gates before, that's all I know, I know my grandma.
Starting point is 00:06:37 We're not going there to go to South African National Museum of Military History, no. We're not going there for Joburg Zoo. What are you going there for? We're going there to see grandma. She hasn't got long in the world, right? Yeah. And the fact that you're bringing up my darling grandma is a very offensive. Well, I didn't bring her. We have the same grandma. Alright, well. She has arthritis in her hands. She doesn't know how to make the Dutch delicacies. I grew
Starting point is 00:07:00 up eating. I can't remember if you're brothers. Anymore? What's this? What? Are you brothers? Yes, I'm my brother. Mark, listen. No, but like, like, are you? It's a very simple question in the pop quiz. Is where am I from? That was a simple question. And what you did there, Mark, is xenophobic. It's actually xenophobic to have assumed. I don't think I even have much of a South African accent anymore. I think I sound more like Perth person. Perth.
Starting point is 00:07:23 What the hell would you be? I bet you can't even spell xenophobic. Yeah, couldn't do it, could you? Probably because, do you know why? It's because of Gonski. Gonski. I'm not going to say which way I vote, Mark. Gonski report. But all I'll say is they taxed my Lambo and they did the Gonski.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And that's a shame. But look, if you don't want to talk about politics... I want to know first for clarity, when we say we're talking about Mark McGahn, you know we're not talking about you, Mark. Mark, you're a different Mark. I'm very aware that I'm not. So there's a thing called surnames, Mark. You're aware of this, right?
Starting point is 00:07:53 Oh, now you're being... So because there's a lot of Marks. There's Mark, I know you. There's Mark from Grandma. Grandma is a Mark. Mark Mitchell, who played Con the Fruit Terror. Yes, I know Mark Mitchell. That might be a hint about where I'm from, Mark. Mark Mitchell who played Con the Fruitera. Yes, I know Mark Mitchell. That might be a hint about where I'm from Mark.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Greece? Do you understand that? No! Because, no Mark. Con the Fruitera was not from Greece Mark. It was an actor playing him on the television. You understand Mark? In Comedy Company.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yes, I know. Now how would I know about Comedy Company if I've not lived in Australia for a number of years? Maybe someone told you about it. No Mark, I did watch a documentary about it on Channel 10. Yes. Australia, you're standing in the history of comedy in Australia, but why are you looking at us like we're French? See, you're probably thinking, oh, you live in Perth, Mark. I think you're thinking you live in Perth. That's a lot of low rise. You probably live in an house.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And I did. But actually, they're actually building a lot more high rises. And I actually live in an house and I did, but actually they're actually building a lot more high rises and I actually live in a penthouse right in the middle. You can see the Rio Tinto tower from my high rise and I bring... You can see Perth Stadium where they play Coldplay. So I'll be like, I'll take a girl out to like, you know, to Crown. I'll take her to like, maybe I'll take her to... I talk a beautiful woman to Coldplay. Oh, yes, beautiful Mark. So you take her to Cold I talk a beautiful woman to Coldplay. Oh, there's beautiful Mark.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So you take her to Coldplay at the casino. But you could also take her to the casino. We pay for Coldplay to come to Australia. You could take her to... What's that Japanese place at the casino, right? Nobu? Nobu, right. So you take her to Nobu, you go, you know, you go, you can order if you want, or I can
Starting point is 00:09:21 order for you. And she'll go, oh, you order. And you go, just get the misiso fish or whatever it's called. Right. And you go to Nobu, and then you go, hey, how about we go to a bar in the city. Right. And then you get the taxi, right. From the, from the casino to the city.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And then you go, there's a, there's a bar, right. Maybe just around the corner. Right. And you have a drink and then you say, Hey, do you want to get out of here? And she thinks, oh, we've got the gold all the way to Subiaco or Claremont or maybe all the way to Fremantle. You know, and you go, no, no, because actually there is some residences here in the city now.
Starting point is 00:09:56 We'll just get into the elevator and I don't tell her, I'll go, go, we get into the elevator. She goes, no, you don't live in one of the penthouses, do you? And I go, well, let's see. And my elevator, it opens up right onto the penthouse. You can see Optus Stadium, you can see Crown. So we're just at Crown Cross Casino. You understand, right? And she'll go, look, it's Crown. I can see it from here.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Look over there, it's North Bridge. But they're trying to build another tower and a block across, right? That's Labour doing that. And I'm not, I'm not, I'm very happy with the vote. No, we don't know what way you vote. But Labour's doing the one across from the road, right? And they're letting them build another tower. You won't be able to see the crown.
Starting point is 00:10:34 You won't, you can still see Northbridge, but not the Perth stone. I don't want to look into another tower. I may as well move to New York City if I want to do that. No, I'm a Perth boy, you know? Although I do live in New York for like three months of the year. It's how I do, I get all my finances sorted and then I do the rest of it remote from Perth. Okay, that sounds illegal. But you have to go to New York. So you have to, you cannot be, you have to either go to
Starting point is 00:10:57 Singapore, New York, London or Hong Kong, right? And you have to spend a few months there. You cannot be dealing in finance and just living in Perth. But I said to them, I remember my boss, he said to me, he said, you know, Sam, you're gonna have to move to New York. And I said, dad, I think I can do some of this from Perth. I'd love to stay in Perth. I've got this Ripper bar. This is a good hint of where we are from, right?
Starting point is 00:11:22 Perth, yeah, right? And that's because Perth is home. I said, dad, Perth is home. I'll do three months in New York. Let? Perth. Yeah, right? And that's because birth is home. I said, dad, birth is home. I'll do three months in New York. Let's see how it works. Right? But not originally. We're not born in Perth.
Starting point is 00:11:31 No, you were born in South Africa. South Africa. But all of my friends are from South Africa. And that's maybe where I can't do my own accent. And I, but I mean- Oh, we have Perth accents. All I see when I'm in Perth, all I say is my grandma and her 12 staff. That's all I say.
Starting point is 00:11:50 In South Africa. When I'm in Perth, all I say is Basil Zemplas. Who's that? He's the mayor. Mayor of Perth, Mark. Mayor of Perth. Basil Zemplas. I think you want to know about South Africa.
Starting point is 00:12:03 I think you need to learn a little bit more close to it. What do you... You know, I think actually if WA broke off, if we did that, like if we did secession, have you heard of this? It's a bit of a joke in Perth. We go, maybe we do a secession. Maybe they think a little bit more about us because we actually bring the mineral money, Mark. What? You understand all of the mineral money you get from Perla? We prop up the Eastern states. That's very exciting.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So Mark, you're sitting here on a taxpayer funded seat with a taxpayer funded microphone. Is this ABC? I don't think, I don't, no, no, no. This is ABC, right? I think this is a private company. And you paid for all of this with the money they make from the minerals. And then, you know, they wanted to tax the minerals. Yes. Now, you understand this Mark. I do understand. The they wanted to tax the minerals. Yes. Now, you understand this man. I do understand. The Labour wanted to tax the morning.
Starting point is 00:12:48 We're not saying who we vote for. I'm not. I'm an apolitical person. All I'm saying is there's 50k less in my bank account so I can drive a Lambo, you know. I understand. But it pays for itself. You just got to amortise your Lambo. You have to what? You do this Sam? You amortize your Lambo. I've amortized my Lambo. So you just go this Lambo
Starting point is 00:13:09 yes I took my Lambo to Coldplay with my beautiful girl but you played yellow. Oh I love Coldplay. Yes Coldplay. I love Coldplay I love them the Imagine Dragons Mark. Oh I love Imagine dragons. I love Noah Fix. Do you know imagine dragons? You guys know imagine dragons? Yeah I love them. Imagine dragon these nuts across your forehead. Mark, Mark that's too rude. I like that. It's funny though. I like comedy. See this is the, I love that. That's what South Africans and Australians have in common alright. Cause I'm from South Africa. And what do we have in common, right? Is we have that sense of humour, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:48 Humour, Mark. Well, in regards to sense of humour. You have to have a sense of humour. Were you going to ask a question, Mark? Well, I'm so sorry for interrupting your question. No, no, no. You haven't at all. Because I was going to say before you asked the question,
Starting point is 00:14:00 you have to have a sense of humour, don't you, Sam? In South Africa. You can't go through life taking things too seriously. I mean when you're born in a place like South every hour because you could get eaten by a lion Mark yeah on the streets of Joburg you could get eaten by a lion as you're going into the lion's tummy and your head is in its mouth you go I wish I laughed more do you know they have a cartoon Mark a, a Saturday morning cartoon. What did you watch? You probably watch Flintstones and whatnot. We watched a show about a man every morning, every Saturday morning. It was a cartoon.
Starting point is 00:14:31 It was about a man living in Joburg who would constantly... Sugarman. Sugarman. They did a cartoon of Sugarman. Did they? Yeah, in the 60s. Well, speaking of AI. Sugarman, He's great.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Do I know about Sugar Man? Do I know about Sugar Man? Yeah. Thank you for having us on the Netflix show by the way. That's okay. It was lovely having you there. That was so much fun. Odd people calling me from Joburg going, oh you're on the Netflix show. Because usually if we do local television in Perth, you don't need Perth people to see it.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Right. But Netflix is global. What are you guys on? Crime Stoppers? What's that more? When you're on TV in Perth, what do you want? I'm not the criminal anymore. You're talking about the Claremont.
Starting point is 00:15:16 No, I was just joking. That was just a joke. It's completely legal. No, that was just a joke. Anything that was not, we have made proof that the accountant is in jail for that. For 25 years they could not find the Claremont killer. Do you know why? They're looking in the wrong directions.
Starting point is 00:15:32 They're looking at cab drivers. They were looking in the wrong places. They should have been looking at Telstra. You understand, Mark. The Telstra repairman was doing it all along. So we went on the morning shows actually where we got on television because we're both members of the Liberal Party. I was just joking.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Okay, that's how we went on to talk about like the fact there's no Liberal Party anymore. But we don't talk about politics. What do we take on? I want to say let's take a break, maybe listen to an ad, maybe not. Yeah, alright. I honestly don't know how this works. Yeah, no, that's all right. But I did want to ask you guys something because in preparation for you guys coming here. First I wanted to talk about... Is this before the
Starting point is 00:16:13 ad you're going to tell us or after the ad? No the ads done. Oh has there been an ad? Oh sorry. What was the ad about? And we're back. I don't know. Okay. Well I should know but I don't know. We record this differently. I, I was going to ask you guys about politics. When we try and push you guys, get you guys to talk about something, maybe it's going to make you feel a little bit uncomfortable. I don't even think about you. But I have a backup. I have a backup because that hasn't gone the way I wanted.
Starting point is 00:16:37 So what? And you've got a book or something? No, no book. Have you got a book? I've got a book I travel with everywhere I go. Do you know the book we travel with? Mark, you want to know, you've been asking, what's your life like? Where are you from?
Starting point is 00:16:50 What's it like growing up for you? You need to let go, Mark. I have one book for you that you would read and you'll know. Okay, Sam, I know your life. I know why you have a Lambo. I know why you go to Optus Stadium, a beautiful lady and see Coldplay. Is it the subtle art of not giving a fuck? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Oh, come on. That's a... I've got one book that you'll read and you'll know what it's like. Oh, God. It's the power of one. Yeah, of course it's the power of one. Mark, listen, Mark. Listen, Mark.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I honestly didn't... Listen, Mark. I did not guess that. Mark? That fucking took me a second. Mark's fiction? Let me tell you a book that will change the way you look at it. Oh, God. Really? You're probably just looking us and see two boys with rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr look at it. You're probably just looking at us and said two boys were rrrrrrripper balls.
Starting point is 00:17:28 But no. Yeah, you go those boys are they probably wake up at 3.30, which is true. Go to the gym, which is true. I'm trying to find depth in you. I'm trying to push you guys. I have some AI stuff prepared here. The book is called... I can't get about the AI. But wait, I would feel... The book is called... a little book I would film... The book is called... A little book called... The Bear of One.
Starting point is 00:17:50 This book is called... What's it called, Seb? The Power. Now listen, the Power of One is our bros Courtney. Now he's Australian locus. But he has an Eastern Asian African locus. And he write this book and he just stepped it up. Now he's Australian like us, but he has an East South African like us.
Starting point is 00:18:05 And he wrote this book and he just tapped it out. It is fiction, Mark. I swear to God, it is the truth. It captures the spirit of what it was like growing up in South Africa. I'm sure it does. After you finish your AR, I want you to read Powerbomb. Mark, I think this is very cute. I see the AR thing and I understand your reticence to
Starting point is 00:18:25 not read it because we've asked Lindsay to print it. She went through a lot of effort to print it right out and print this AI for the podcast and I think it is important to read it. But before we do, Mark, I just want to say to you one thing, alright? I think sometimes you try too hard to control these podcasts. You have been constantly talking, Mark. Oh, talk about politics, talk about AI. Could you not let us- What shows have you seen at Dr. Stadium this week? You know what I mean Mark?
Starting point is 00:18:52 I don't live in Perth. I saw Coldplay actually. You need to just relax, right? And let us run the podcast for once. You understand this Mark? I understand. Well then, if you- Did you say Coldplay at the,
Starting point is 00:19:03 So- Of this? We're paid as the Perth government, paid for both the wrestling to come out. Oh great, I love the wrestling. And it's at Perth Stadium and then also Coldplay. You're right, yeah. What's your little paper? Oh it's this little paper you've got there Mark.
Starting point is 00:19:19 So it seems to be like an AI situation, Sam. So I think what's happened here is he's got some sort of AI descriptions of various episodes. I wanted to see- Is this what you're doing, Mo? I wanted to see what you're doing. You're doing the AI descriptions of episodes? I wanted to see what you guys possibly thought of AI descriptions of the Auntie Donna podcast. And just to see if you think it sort of resonates.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It's all in the spirit of trying to, because to me, I don't know much about you guys beyond you've got Ripper Bods. You always bring up the power of one. You either come from Perth or Johannesburg. I lost over a million dollars investing in land in the metaverse is another fact you maybe didn't know about me. I invested over a million dollars in metaverse land. I guess we're not that complicated, Mark.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Mark. I didn't know that. No, you didn't know that. I didn't know you could lose a million dollars investing in metaverse property. I didn't think that was possible. And I don't know anything about crypto. I'll tell you, it's all too complicated. I could have told you could lose a million dollars investing in Metaverse property. I didn't think that was possible. And I don't know anything about crypto. I could have told you that was a mistake. It's all too complicated.
Starting point is 00:20:30 You're overthinking it. You're overthinking it. What you need is one simple thing. We are from a little place called South Africa. That's where we're from, born and raised. I'm South African. That's all you need to know. Once you got that, the rest will follow.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Well, in these... We're from Perth, we have Ripper Balls, we are named Sam. In my grandma's house there is two tiger heads on the wall. Did she hunt them? No, she did not hunt them. Her grandfather hunted them when he first came to South Africa. From? From Perth. Well, he came from... He was Dutch.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Dutch. Dutch man. And he got to South Africa because he originally only came for a little bit, but he loved the place. The Blade Runner's getting out. At one point, he owned 90% of South Africa. What property was? The whole, he just owned it. So I reckon what Tumalc has done here, right?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Because you know how we have a podcast now, Sam. Yeah. Yeah, we have a little podcast. We talk about fitness, We talk about love life. Talk about politics. And it's called Sam and Sam. Well can't we talk about some politics? No, I don't want to. I don't talk about politics. Talking about the clothing shop at shopping centers? Yeah, you get the nice suit there. It's not what I go now. No, no, no, no. Now I go to Thailand. I just get a man in Vietnam, I go, you know, get your suits catered to you.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah, politics is like a, you know, mid suit store. That's not, nothing wrong if you get your suits from politics, but that's not what I'm talking about. So our podcast is with an X, not a CS. Yes. Our podcast is with listener art and so, cause we've got the big following on Instagram. And so we're sharing show, show our hip hop pods. At Sam and Sam? No, he has one, I have one.

Now, Mark, what happens here is I forgot my reading glasses. I have to wear my sunglasses to read. But Mark, what happens here is, right, when we do the listener podcast, they take a transcript, they use the computer to take a transcript and the AI, yes, right, does like tries to do a little AI
Starting point is 00:22:42 blurb of the episode. Artificial intelligence. Sometimes it's a little bit silly. Sorry, what does AI stand for? Autofacial on Broadway. I said that's like a Robert Mark. So what happens here, I think, is you've gotten Lindsay to print some AI descriptions of various episodes. And I thought it could be funny to just talk about them. Maybe talk about them.
Starting point is 00:23:02 All in the hopes of finding a bit of depth. Talk about them, find some depth and have some fun with them. Mark. Why didn't you just say this? Well, I've been trying to. What didn't you just say this? We've been going for about 25 minutes now. I have to do the heavy lifting with this podcast, Mark.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I'm always having to... Could you just for me... Can I tell you something more? Yeah. When you asked me onto this podcast, right? And I said, is Sam doing it as well? I didn't ask you, you just came in the door. And then I called Sam, I said, Sam, I don't want to do this podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:31 He said, why? I said, now that I do mine, I'm coming to you. You were late and you came with fucking cups of coffee and it was the rudest thing I've ever seen in my life. So I said to him, listen, we went to park our lambos. Twenty five minutes late, but you had fucking coffees. We had to park our lambos. You have any idea how rude that is?
Starting point is 00:23:43 We had to park the lambos on the street, man. I think it's the rudest thing you can do. You had to park our lambos here. You have no idea how rude that is. You had to park the lambos on the street, mom. I think it's the rudest thing you can do. You have to find undercover parking. With coffees and sunglasses on indoors. It's rude to show up. Well, let me tell you something about your sheltered little life. Oh, dog. I'm from a place called, sorry, Erika, and you don't know what you're talking about when
Starting point is 00:24:02 you... Can you? Tell him, Sam. Tell him. If you think, oh, it's hard life sometimes. What you are talking about when you... Can you? Tell him Sam, tell him! If you think... Tell him! It's hard love, sometimes people...
Starting point is 00:24:10 Sam you tell him! Sometimes people show up with sunglasses and coffees, that's the worst thing, mate, you is not a walk in the park. Yeah, you think the worst thing in the world is a coffee and a... Try having a lion, eat your brother! I didn't say it was the worst thing. My brother Sam got eaten by a lion! Lion! No he didn't say it was the worst thing. My brother Sam got eaten by a lion. Lion.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Oh no he didn't there. He's hello Sam. Oh yes. I thought for a while he thought I'd been eaten by a lion. But he hasn't. But he just moved to Perth. He just moved to Perth. And I said, but anyway let me tell you what happened alright.
Starting point is 00:24:37 And I called Sam I said, does he ask you to be on it as well? He says yes he has alright. And I say well they should ask us both through our agent because we have charge a higher rate when it's both Sam. So you're being very sneaky there. I see what you've done. But what I've said to him, I said to him, I said, I don't want to do this podcast. I'll tell you why, because I'm always doing the heavy lifting. It's either me or it's you. I said that, didn't I Sam? He never asked any question. I deadlift about 140 kilos at 8 reps per 3. I did heavy lifting as well.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I got the same personal trainer as Hugh Jackman. Really? In the Wolverine. Have you seen the Wolverine? He's a fucking beast. Which one, Origins or? He's a beast. He was in the war.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Alright, yeah he was in the war. He lives forever, but he's a fucking beast. Origins. You reckon he is? I reckon he is. Oh yes, you don't get that. You don't get that. A lot of chicken and broccoli and clean buterol. Can I...
Starting point is 00:25:30 A little bit of the hormones, I think. Just a little bit. Well, he's not competing in any... But I'm not going to taste... You know, I don't know. If he's over 50, it is not natty. There's no way he's natty. I hope he's doing okay. I'm natty. I'm all natty because I want a slim figure. And I had my PTA said to me, he's like, you know, maybe we could do some great hormones.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And I said, no, I want a slim figure. I want the figure of gymnast or the swimmer. Someone from Sultan Bunko Cirque du Soleil. So do you want me to read some of these ARs, Mark? I would love, yes. Sexy and the daisy bossa dee with bring a polyamorous me and the sexologist. That's very funny, Mark. It's different. It's not our people. Can you read the last one for me?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Do you want to read it for us? Well, sure, I can read it. Show us that you are funny. We were told this was a funny podcast. Yeah, I've never laughed, Mark. I've never laughed at anything you've done. And I've watched the programs. Right? I've seen your ABC one, I've seen your Netflix one.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Not for you? Not for me at all Mark. You need to do stories and you need to like, trot. There were stories in your coffee cafe. What video I like of yours is because I'm a real estate agent and you call them cunts and I think I know some cunts in this industry. I'm sure you do know some. Not me.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Not me but I definitely saw that. I thought yes I know a few of these people. I sent that to Sam. I said not us. He knows us. He wouldn't be talking about us. I said not us but I know who he's talking about. A few of the people who are like that.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Because we are in real estate Mark. Can you tell me about that? Well he's in real estate, I'm in finance. Cause it's not easy for homeowners at the moment, even if they're renting out their properties. Do you know, do you see what they're trying to do? Like the global government, they're trying to say, oh you can put a nook in here, you can put a painting up there, you can have your dog shitting everywhere.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Right? I have a friend who has an apartment, right? One of their apartments, he couldn't say no to the dog and the dog would just shit everywhere. I'm sure the tenant cleaned it up. Well you read, I want to hear you be funny. Well speaking of shit, so this is an AI interpretation of an episode. We should bring this back in Light Awake I think when it's not us on the podcast. Let's see. Well, we can-
Starting point is 00:27:46 But no, do it, do one. A little taser, Mark. A little taser, we call it, in the business. Welcome to Poopoo Week, where Poopy Week starts on Sunday and Poopy Friday finishes on Saturday. Did they look excited when Poopoo equals pee or Poopoo? And is Poopoo wake up up the week the whole week? Do you know what this is to me? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Sam do you know what this is to me? AI is going, we need to legislate AI. It is the future because I just think that the way that they took in the right hour, this is a description of some poo poo episode they've done. No we didn't, we haven't done,, we may have. I honestly can't remember. Read it out for me. I did just read it out. And that was AI.
Starting point is 00:28:28 A robot wrote this. Read this one more time. A robot wrote this. Let me put down my glasses. I forgot my reading glasses. I believe it was an AI that had descriptions of Aunty Donna episodes of the podcast fed into it. And based on that information, this is what it read out.
Starting point is 00:28:42 This is amazing. Read the same one again. Read the second one for me, Mark. The second one? Right. I have to wear my sunglasses. I forgot my reading glasses. They're in my Lambo, probably in the club.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Read it for me, Mark. So I don't want you to think I'm wearing more sunglasses inside. Maybe you're watching on the... Do you put this out on the YouTube? Patreon. I put this on the Patreon. The Aunty Donna Club powered by Patreon. You don't put it on the YouTube.
Starting point is 00:29:03 We put clips. Right. On shorts. But if you're watching me with the sunglasses on the video clip it's because I left my- Not out of disrespect. No, I left my reading glasses in the glove box of the Lambo so after where they- Well these aren't sunglasses as well. Read the third one for me. Wait, the third or the second?
Starting point is 00:29:18 The second one for me, Mark. Sexy. In today's episode- I believe my brother asked you to read the third one. But you said the second. Yes, I did. So what would you like me to do? Read the second one, Mark.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Sexy. In today's episode, we bring in a polyamorous man, Very good. a sexologist and a friend of the podcast, Mr. Gilligan. Okay. The host and his guests discuss the relationship between the mind and sex, what happens when you have sex outside of the bedroom and what it means to be a good dom. Fantastic. Mark, I think that this is telling me.
Starting point is 00:29:50 What do you think? Mark, who do you think wrote this? You think someone wrote this, don't you? You think a person wrote this? Maybe Lindsay, one of your staff members, Nick, who I met, Nick is a very nice person. You think maybe it's one of them typed that up on the car? Somebody wrote this, you think? No. Somebody wrote this? No. No, I, very nice person. You think maybe it's one of them. So somebody wrote this. You think somebody wrote this?
Starting point is 00:30:07 No, no, I don't think that the computer, the robots. So I've invested in a company called Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt Jatt J And I said to my boss, I walked into the office, I said to my boss, I said, because I work in finance, we invest in various companies. We own the company, right? And you're a real estate agent. Which is why we have to go. No, he's the real estate agent. We do, I own a bit of his company.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Tom is money. So I walked into my boss's office, alright? And I said, Dad, we have to invest. I walked into the boss's office, I said, dad, we have to invest in the Roberts. And he said, what about the Roberts? The red, the green? I said, you're thinking South African. I'm talking about the AI.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Oh, you mean traffic lights. Chat. Chat. No, as in talking. No, chat. C-H-A-T. We own this company, right? And he owns the office that we're in. You understand? You've
Starting point is 00:31:06 got to keep it in us. Okay, well on that note. On that note, I would like to leave. Mark, you asked us onto the podcast. No. I would love to do another hour and a half if you're comfortable with it. I am, yes. Well, that's why you have your own podcast. And you can get that on Listener. It's on listener. It's, uh, it's Kiss. We did the year. It's called the Kiss podcast. We did.
Starting point is 00:31:29 It's about the band Kiss. We did the year. We did the year with Spotify and then they dropped us and then luckily listeners. It was a Spotify original. It was a Spotify original. They let us keep the RSS. Jay Simmons, Paul Stanley. Ace Freely.
Starting point is 00:31:44 We haven't seen the conversion. 10,000 volts I believe is Ace Frehley's new album. We haven't seen the conversion we were hoping for Mark. Because we did the, we've got a lot of followers on Insta but not enough listeners Mark. Well you need to find a way to translate the medium. And I've tried, like I wear a soft linen shirt so you can see my shoulders. And I've been going, I said to my PT, I said, get those shoulders bigger on. Because I'm filming my podcast.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And I'm wearing a soft linen shirt. You've got a PT. You guys give me PTSD. That's very funny, Mark. You made me laugh for the first time. That's very funny. And it makes me laugh, I'll tell you why, because I do have PTSD from living in Joburg, seriously. And I think it's funny to make
Starting point is 00:32:25 light of such a condition. Well that's not what I'm sorry, that's not what I was trying to do. No, I think that's really funny, Mark. That's great. Oh, maybe you've got something personal to you. I'd love to make a joke about your beard or something. No, it just says there's another like a... Could we wrap this up?
Starting point is 00:32:41 I think we've already hit a half hour. This is the... I think we're at an half hour here. Yes, let's close it down. Thank you for listening to the Answered on a podcast. If you can't wrap it up, Mark, I think it's time to wrap it up. Well, I was going to. I'm happy to. I don't think you need to go for more than an half hour at this podcast. I agree.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Thank you, Sam and Sam, for coming on the podcast. Who's Sam? Oh, this one. Oh, right, hey. And you. Yes, I'm Sam. Sam and Sam. But I don't think of myself as Sam, right? I just think of myself as a brain having experiences. And then I see myself in the mirror. Do you understand what I mean? No. So like, I see this person. I see two people in front of me. And I don't think of myself as a person walking through the space. I think of myself as a brain having experiences, just senses, right? I see myself as a window
Starting point is 00:33:31 and then I go, no, those are my eyes, Mark. Okay. Thank you for coming on the podcast, Sam and Sam. I am wrapping. Good night Mark. It's bedtime. I'm going to go to sleep. I'm doing bioacking. Let's come on next time and talk about bioacking. You've been listening to the Aunty Donna podcast.
