Hello and welcome to another intro to another episode of Do Go On, my name is Dave Wannakie and I'm here with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins ready to intro this week's episode. You don't have to say it. It's at the start. You're what you're doing is the intro.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You don't say welcome to the intro. You clearly didn't listen to the two weeks ago because I said this exact thing. You know, we don't listen to our own podcast notes. We weren't here for it to tell you, you don't know what it wrong. Yeah, well thanks for trusting me and not listening to it. That was a little test to see if you could trust me.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Really? Well, not a lame thing to do. It's like saying welcome to another intro. I enjoyed it because it was great. Well here in the studio to tell you that this week's episode was recorded live on a beach at the Coast of Melbourne with International Podcast Festival.
Starting point is 00:03:04 That's not true. This was recorded live in a beach, the Co-Summer We International Podcast Festival. That's not true, this was recorded live in a cafeteria near a beach. That's right. Actually, that is very, very true. We started on the beach, the gig was nearly set up and then a torrential storm hit. Yeah. Which is good fun.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I imagine we probably mentioned it in the episode that we're sitting near the Omelet station. Yeah. Yes, we were inside where people had breakfast at the buffet each day. Yeah, still a really fun gig in there. That was awesome. Good vibe. Great fun room.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Join by, uh, Wasnam on the beach. Good pals, Deluxe Drossinger and Brett Blake. Um, Logie Award winner, we talk about this in the episode. Yeah, I'm sure we do. If we don't, huge oversight on it, but oversight. Yeah, yeah. But. We had a great episode to come up.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Before we do that, we're going to tell you that our Brisbane show is now fully on sale. Woohoo! Sunday, August the 11th, the whole afternoon show. You've got us doing our 200th episode. A little break, hang out, get a drink, and then we'll come back. We're going to do an interactive do-go-on quiz. Yes, we did something similar when we were in a UK tour, we did in Leeds, and it was probably one of the highlights
Starting point is 00:04:10 for me of that whole trip, it was so much fun. I got to be the hot man. I came out before you too, and it's been a few minutes with the crowd. It was fantastic listening to you work. It really was. It was a privilege. Watching it back on the Patreon bonus video
Starting point is 00:04:24 that cuts off my head, it was a hard watch. But anyway, I'll work on my shit. It's hard to watch your chest pump up a crap. That did a great job. So yeah, definitely come along to that. If you are in Brisbane, or if you have friends in Brisbane, send them along because it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Hell yeah, so that's an absolutely no- Say if you know Bernard Fanning or the members of Custard, or maybe the Gratess or any other Brisbane bands Like the go-between maybe they could open for us. Maybe regurgitate. Yes Anyone else? Do you know anyone else famous from Brisbane from Brisbane? Why do you ask me like I should know Kevin Rudd? I think it's from testing you. I just wanted to know if you had anything else to contribute Matthew Hayden's a Queenslander, obviously, Alfie Langer.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Obviously. Yeah. I'm not going for the obvious ones. Okay. Well, I don't know where do you want me to go. Billy Sliders from up there somewhere. Right, we found the limit there. Fantastic.

It could be really good. At this stage, it's not really anything. It could be anything. Yeah. Yeah. That's a bit of a way we're going to At this stage, it's not really anything. It could be anything.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yeah. Right. It could be anything. So it's going to be fun. I think it's going to be loose and fun and soon. Definitely. It's going to be great. We say, we haven't really played anything, but we're two very good comedians.

Starting point is 00:06:56 And also I like to let down our producer. Gave us some very clear messages to tell you. She's honestly doing such a good job and she's really pushing shit up hill. We are the shit. Did you get the top of a hill? Yeah. It's in the Hayaba where we did our Brisbane live do-go on a few days. It's a good venue, great venue.

APPLAUSE I'm across all platforms, you fuck you and your low-gain. When we discovered last night, Brad, that you were arrested at 15 for inciting a riot? Legidly. Oh, so sorry. At the age of 15. Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Yeah, and I want to go much more into that but there was a quiz question I didn't think they'll be recorded. Thank you. You're also dyslexic though. Were you just trying to inside a trio? When I get that joke I'll have a fucking fiery comeback anyway. I got it Fuck you dickhead I'm back, anyway. Oh, I got it. Fuck you, dickhead. Thing. It takes a long time to wind up, and when I get there, I get there. No, it is fantastic to have both of you guys on the show.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Thank you very much. I'm such an excited. A few excitement. Shit, I've become bread. It's very exciting, thank you. So this is the world podcast where we talk about fucking horses. Yeah, that's the one Allegedly yes That's a lot of record Dave Mac, do you want do I'm moving forward? I cannot see Super
Starting point is 00:13:02 Stay put and you move, there we go. Oh, that is good stuff. You and I, like, we don't move for anybody. You and I, wow. Oh, OK. In the crowd. So, for people listening at home, Matt's pushed his share into the crowd, and he's actually facing us.
Starting point is 00:13:21 That has a vantage point there, though. It kind of looks like some sort of public hanging or shaming that we're doing that. We have the masses out there, here's the jury. It's like, I'm going to haul my thumb and you know, whether we kill you or not. What's my crime? What's your estate support? You've been through enough shame, but he get back over here. We're at a good win today.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Not a good win, we're at to win today. Good, very good. How is your favourite player, not Fraser Garrick? The G-Trade. The G-Trade's up there for sure. The G-Trade has to be top five. I've eaten at his restaurant in Carambea, and a few times. What a clean, he's a fag.
Starting point is 00:13:59 He plays with the Eagles and Sinkilda. That's why I love Fraser Garrick. He probably won't know much about that, but he's one of the, he's a fucking unit. He broke his hands, he broke his hand in the game, and they had to give him injections to get it back on the field. And other players who would be funny to hit it.
Starting point is 00:14:17 And there's footage, go home, check it out, and he puts his hand out like seven times and lets the guy punch it. Just wouldn't know, doesn't even squint. I was like, man, this guy is my new king. Imagine. His nickname was the carpet snake. And you would just remind him
Starting point is 00:14:33 of the last night we made a deal. We were going to get tattoos of snakes today. When Matt mag goes off, they might not know you on the podcast, but can you come up with a quick story that sums you up? And I was like, yes, me and Matt were both going to get Pan Territado's last night. I think when, like if people listen to us know that you have a mullet, I think that just sums you up enough. At a forklift license, at a truck license.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah, there we go. In case you ever question it. Days. Alright, let's crack on with the show. Now, for people at home or for people here, for instance, that may not be familiar with the show, basically what we do here is we take it in turns to report on a topic often suggested by a list of the other two people don't know what it's going to be usually.
Starting point is 00:15:18 But today we're all going to do a mini-report and an overarching theme. So we're all going to present a mini-report on a topic now, or just an eye I'll go into. And on this episode, we're going going to present a mini report on a topic now on Matt Jess and I are going to and on this episode We're going to be reporting on fucked up journeys fucked up journeys. Yeah Wild travel stories. Oh, okay, because I thought it was like bad renditions of Don't Stop Believing. Yeah I'll be doing that as well But now we were inspired by Nick Kappers' fucked journey to London. Oh yeah, for the listeners of Dugo on Nick Kappers got to London, very crazy way.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Yeah. And so we thought, let's find some fucked journeys that people in the world have been on. That's right. Alright, we always start with the question to get on. Topic, I'm going to do the first report tonight. And my question for you guys on stage is on stages in 1984 who did Guinness World Records name as the world's greatest living explorer? Well I was conceived in I mean I was born in 1985 so I'm assuming that I was conceived in 84. So I would say my dad. Well I guess
Starting point is 00:16:24 he found something didn't he? Wait, is this actually a trivia thing? You have to know stuff or... Not beyond this. Look at the fear in his eyes. Man, I saw you reading and there was a question. I was like, I'm fucking out, dude. I feel like, does anyone here know who this man is? Someone's got
Starting point is 00:16:45 their hand up. So close to Ralph Feind that is in fact his third cousin, Randolph Feinds. What? Seriously. The third cousin. Ben, how did you know that? Yeah he's a fan. He's from UK. Everyone knows it. Yeah, everyone knows that. Yeah, there's one village. London, all right. So Renovine's, he's the third cousin of Rafe and Joseph Fines. Never sure if it's Rafe or Ralph. Rafe. Rafe.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I think he's fucked that, anyway. Yeah. It's definitely written as Ralph. So Renovine, so have you guys ever heard of this explorer? Not on me. No. No. Well, I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:17:21 They're not Malcolm Douglas, I don't know. And he wasn't an explorer, all right? He said Roo's sick, I don't know. And he wasn't explored, right? He said, Roo, sick, crocodile farm. Yeah. Um... So you guys, there are two bad laughs on this podcast now. Yeah, and we sat next to each other too.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I thought. You may know him as Sir Randolph Fines, but his full name is Sir Randolph Twistleton. No wonder his explorer, My whole name is Sir Ranoff Twistleton. No wonder it's an explorer. I wanted to get away from school because he's been bullied. No Twistleton, yes. I'm not even half done.
Starting point is 00:17:56 No one's ever conquered anything called Twistleton. I'm not even half as though it's known. I'm shit. Sir Ranoff Twistleton, why cam finds? Why cam? Why cam? Why cam? Finds third baronette.
Starting point is 00:18:11 What? He definitely had shurpers and paid him under minimal wage. Yeah. Baronette, as opposed to a Baron. So he's not quite a Baron. He's a Baronette. Yeah. Like how Dave's credit card still says Master Warner key.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It does. Yeah, it does. I'm 28. Guys, it's 2019. I might as well give you more. I might as well give you more. I try to get it changed twice and they just hit me a new one. And it just says, I'm like oh fuck it whatever I like the idea of master Blake though. Yeah, it's like when you're feeling lonely with a mullet
Starting point is 00:18:50 You just had a little bit of a master Blake That's what I was gone for but no one picked up on it at the start anyway He was born in 1944 in Windsor He's father also a Baron it was an army officer died in World War II when runoff was just one year old, was just a one year old, and he inherited the title of Baronet from his father. That's right, come from. What's his kid going to be a Baronet net?
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, it just keeps going forever and ever and ever. His family moved to his grandmother's home in South Africa in early 1947. Then when he came back to England in 1954, he met his future wife, Ginny, when he was 12 years old, and she was nine. Yeah. They didn't get together straight away, guys. In his own words, she lived next door, and she was nine, but I didn't take her out until she was 13,
Starting point is 00:19:38 and her father definitely did not like me. He went on to say, he really didn't speak to me until five years after I married her. No. He just didn't like somebody taking out his daughter at 13. Now I therefore didn't really like him. But now that my daughter is nearly 13, I sort of fully understand his point of view. And if he were still alive, I would have apologize. Well, look out there. He went to the prestigious Eton College, which I believe is where Prince Harry and William went, but failed to apply himself and didn't get the marks he needed to get into the military
Starting point is 00:20:17 Royal Military Academy, where it hoped to be trained to be an officer like his father. So we had to settle for a lesser military academy, but eventually he was accepted into the SAS, the elite special air service unit where he specialised in demolitions. Once again, twizzle doing demolitions in the SAS. Who is this while character? Let's get some shots going for him. Is he still alive? Maybe. He's known for his pranks. Runoff and another officer, my real name isn't Twizzeltern. It's just David. Even another friend,
Starting point is 00:20:56 Prakue, had a very lively squirming piglets, covered it with tank grease, and slipped it into the crowded ballroom of the Army's staff college. Better fun. That's a good bloodline for for baby three. Picking the Army. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Love that the SAS has a ballroom. Not very bad, ask for any way. In 1966 when he was 22 years old he may have taken things too far. When the film Dr. Doolittle was being filmed in the small village of Castle Coombe Wilchere. The town was annoyed because 20th Century Fox decided to build a dam for the film over a local stream. Locals found it unsightly and being a matter of action, Randolph heard about this and decided to act. This is a quote from him. The locals weren't happy with the set, so I thought I'd get rid of it. In the middle of the night he decided to use explosives that he acquired from the SAS to
Starting point is 00:21:49 blow up the tent. Back on board, baby. Here we go. I was on an explosive course in Herifit at the time. At the end of each day I had quite a lot of explosives left over. Rather than just hand it back, I thought it would be rather nice to keep it. Unfortunately for Randolph, police discovered his plan and he was arrested before he could blow up the dam. If he'd been jailed, he
Starting point is 00:22:17 would have been kicked out of the army for good, but the judge took a liking to him and he was only fined 500 pounds. Despite the fact that he was planning an act of terrorism. Yeah, but he's a larykin. Yeah. He's whining his name's twizzle. He's getting away with crime, trust me. Yeah, that's probably it. That is probably it. Hey Dave, was the topic journeys?
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah. Yeah, he's an explorer. This is his biggest journey ever ever heard. The journey to being a mayor. This is his biggest journey over the herd. He's just the journey to being a mad dog. It's not about... This story is not about the destination. It's about the explosives. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Thank you. He left behind his military life after this, and turned his attention to exploration of a journeyman. Wait one more sentence. LAUGHTER In a... I waited like many sentences to that point. Jury man wait one more sentence In a I waited like many sentences to that point To be fair I was saying thought I was like I trust Dave Yeah, I don't I mean you're a you're a sinkyless supporter. I thought you'd be used to waiting
Starting point is 00:23:22 So I did right here. Thank you So I did it right here. Thank you. Dill moved to Australia and picked the Premiership team. And he's- No, I didn't. I'll fucking fight you. I don't care that- I mean, I've got a bit of bread blanking here right now.
Starting point is 00:23:36 He's got a bit of bread blanking here. He's got exploring for some pinnacle-adda. Well, thank you. Little drinks break there while you saw it out the foodie chat. Couldn't give a fuck. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE And who's your team, Master Dave?
Starting point is 00:23:53 The Western Bulldogs. Name a player. Name a player? Yeah. Chris Grant. Back in 1996, when I picked the team, he was on top. Never been to a game. Alright, here we go. In 1969 things are getting interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:12 He led, oh yeah. He picked it, picking it I want to put it down. Fucking worse. Sharing 69, I can dump them club fans, I love it. He led his first expedition in 1969. He became the first person to go all the way up the 4,000 mile long Nile River in a hovercraft. What a record! He did something to make. The power of love. That's what I'm just featuring in. He became the first person in 1982.
Starting point is 00:24:46 It took three years this next journey to go from Polter Poly, went all the way around the entire Earth, from North Pole South Pole, and back up without flying at all. He was in boats and so forth. That took him three years, and he traveled 52,000 miles, or 84,000 kilometers. So he used to be in cold and suffering in the elements. He once removed his balaclava in the snow the Darwin found a one inch chunk of his frozen flesh stuck
Starting point is 00:25:09 to the cloth. But don't worry, he treated the wound with the only thing he had on hand. Hemorrhoid cream. I've been this stuff. I'll use that for everything as well. Yeah. It's good with toast. No, no, no, hang on, it'll aber, right? I don't know why that's not true. I don't know why I said it. Have you ever had a hemorrhoid? There's a cream called anisol.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Anisol, yeah. It's a good multipurpose. It doesn't matter, but it's a good multipurpose cream and I reckon it would work on you face. I do like the idea that what's his name finds. We had Anosol or the hemorrhoid stuff ready to go. He's like, I've got a big journey ahead. I'm probably going to squeeze out some bad duchies
Starting point is 00:25:55 and get a few blood, blood bumps come out my butthole. He's gone pull to pull. You got to be careful, baby. Yeah. All right, so he's had a lot of frostbite in his time. He's gone pole to pole, you're going to be careful, baby. LAUGHTER Yeah. All right, so he's had a lot of frostbite in his time. It probably is most famous story of frostbite. Came in the year 2000, at the age of 56, he attempted to walk solo
Starting point is 00:26:17 and completely unsupported to the North Pole. Everything was going well until his sleds, with all his stuff fell through weak ice. It was weighed down with 70 days worth of supplies and equipment weighed 300 pounds more than he does. It slipped into the sea and became trapped under a slab of ice. He needed to survive, but to get it out here to remove his glove in the freezing minus 63 degrees Celsius temperatures and then pludge his hand into the water to pull it out. Fuck! and then pludge his hand into the water to pull it out. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:45 He instantly knew he was in trouble when he looked down and saw that his fingers were, quote, Ramrod, stiff and ivory white, which sounds like the title of a really good pornogue. LAUGHTER Was that part of his quote? Oh no. I thought he added a little bit of sizzle at the end.
Starting point is 00:27:04 No, that was a little sizzle. They call him twizzle sizzle. His fingers were badly frostbitten and he knew he had to turn back. He was airlifted to Canada where they tried to save his fingers but the damage was too far gone. He described the first inch of each finger as being completely mummified. His fingers were assessed by medical experts who told him that they'd have to be amputated, but that he'd have to wait five months to allow the partially damaged tissue halfway down his fingers to heal sufficiently to be made into finger ends. He's like, we're hanging, don't worry, I've got some anusol here really good, let me
Starting point is 00:27:36 try a bit of that. Some bearded idiot in Melbourne said it's fine, do you, is it for anything? Oh, hang on. I'm sorry. Also, what do you tell me at you? Anything. Oh, hang on. Sorry. Also, is he talking about you? I wasn't listening, sorry. I felt like I was back at school again.
Starting point is 00:27:53 I'm learning too much, but I really like this car. He's got a hovercraft. That's it. LAUGHTER Maybe I should have gone in more classes, Dad. The surgery would also cost 6,000 pounds and he's travelled insurance for a fuse to pay. Imagine that. He seemed to think that that was a lot, he was too much money for an operation to save your fingers.
Starting point is 00:28:17 For me, I would pay 6,000 pounds. What year are we in, roughly? The year 2000. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. just pay the fucking money. That is a thousand pounds, mate. Come on. I don't like where this is going. I would just pay, not Sir Ranoff.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Also, he's a Sir, a baronette. He went to Eaton. He can afford six thousand pounds. Sure. I just, I like him though. He doesn't like to be, you know, like taking the piss out of us. You know, I mean. He's done, he's traveled around the world, he's been to Thailand, he's been to Korsamui, he's, he's haggled from, you know, Amari to also, he's done him all. Yeah, so he was fed up, he found the nerve endings were exposed,
Starting point is 00:28:57 his fingers were in intense pain when he ever, when he touched something. And he wasn't the only one this was affecting, quote, my wife said I was getting irritable. So he decided we would try to cut them off with a black and decker and a saw. Yes, King. Brim brim brim back in. Also it's like the most longest lineup thing ever, you know, from his wife's dad now wins. Like, yeah, try and touch it now, you fuck. now wins like yeah, try and touch it now you fuck. You fuck. What's the first thing a black what? A black and decker saw so it's just a brand of
Starting point is 00:29:30 so pretty reliable. What do you reckon? I'd be more of a mccata man but that's just personal reference. Sure. But for your fingers you would use mccata? I'd use mccata. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So his wife said he should chop your fingers off and that's what they did. He said she had often but she was a bit of a badass as well. She's she's got a polar metal herself She's a farmer. He said she often performed a similar operation on the hooves of her cattle So they've got experience guys you've got experience He decided he would do it himself though. He's wife brought him cups of tea as he sawed Can you just put the call fingers in the cup of tea and then warm it up? Yeah Can't you just put the call fingers in the cup of tea and then warm it up? Yeah Back to good if only they thought about that It wasn't quick either the thumb alone took two days
Starting point is 00:30:13 That's you're a mechanic dude straight away What do you mean? What do you mean it took two days to cut off one thumb? Yeah, he said the bone was really hard to get through Has he not seen 127 hours? I'm out of breath. Now I'm back in. What type of sore is it? Is it a fucking drop sore that has not taken two days? That's straight down. But was it going to hand sore? Yeah, but then the tea goes cold. You got to put it back on the pod. You got to have a brood-nume batch.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It's a whole process. Remember, he's not assertive, but his approach was, if it hurt or it started to bleed, he was slicing too low and would just adjust the saw so it would cut off only the dead bits. Uh-uh, okay, right. So, I hate you. I think I speak for a lot of people right now. Well, we nearly thought, we nearly thought, two weeks afterwards a plastic surgeon at a Bristol
Starting point is 00:31:04 hospital tidied up his handy work And now he wants to go see a doctor. I think he was like now you have to fucking act Because I just chopped off my fingers The wounds healed without incident and what did you do with these amputated fingers? He keeps them in a rodent proof box on his desk. Oh, yeah, you know how rats love fingers box on his desk. Oh yeah you know how rats love fingers. He's still alive age 75 and has done so many amazing things. I'm way too high five in. Three and a half yes. Only 15 years ago he ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days just three months. Yep. No, no, no, no, no. What? Seven marathons in seven days. Seven continents. Yeah, that's what he was 60. He was 60.
Starting point is 00:31:52 That's so wild. And there was three months after suffering an almost fatal heart attack on an airliner and he went into a coma for three days. Oh my god. He's climbed Mount Everest, raised millions of pounds for charity, discovered a lost city, a no man. What the fuck? What? Seriously. And also written 25 books along the way. But in an interview with CQ Magazine, Randolph was asked, has there been any point
Starting point is 00:32:15 in your life where you've thought, this is the closest I've come to death? And I'm thinking, oh, here we go. We'll get some epic story about the Nile or Everest or the Arctic. His response, yeah, on the M4 motorway. LAUGHTER Claire.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Fully asleep at the wheel and waking up, luckily just in time. But only just. LAUGHTER That's Serenal Fives. Wow. CHEERING How you feeling, Dad? Just seconds? Uh, um, that was fucked. That was...
Starting point is 00:32:46 But it's only fingers, though. Oh, yeah, it's only fingers. Yeah, it's... I just didn't want to think about the bone. Anyway, well done, Dave. Yeah, it was a good journey. Thanks, amazing journey. Spiritually, it makes me want to read.

Starting point is 00:34:57 which I wrote, as you guys were walking in, it's a little bit of a, it's a very easy question. So, which French former Pimperturne deficiency consultant explored the Canadian wilderness in 1934? I mean... I mean, it's so obvious, I won't say. I won't say. Monsieur Tuisiltelle?
Starting point is 00:35:16 And equally, well, not an equally cool name, but still a pretty cool name. It's Charles Badoe. Oh, that's the thing you're cleaner asked with isn't it? Close enough. Charles Bedot. Helen Bedot's sister. Do, it's wrong. Yeah, delete that. Anyway, yeah. Charles Bedot was born in Paris in 1886. He dropped out of school at 16 years old. He worked a series of jobs before he befriended Henri Le Dure who was a successful Pimp in Paris. And he taught Badole lessons on proper dress, confidence and street fighting. All the things that good
Starting point is 00:36:00 Pimp needs to know. His podcast is fucking sick. Hoverboards and street fighting. I need a fucking starter subscribing to Patreon. I am in. Don't let him down. I was staring at the st. St. Kielder's support of it. Toilet him down. So he's found this mentor who's teaching him how to dress and be cool like, but then his mentor was murdered in 1906.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Street fight? Classic. Well, suspiciously also in 1906, Charles left France for America. You know what? Pimping ain't easy, man. Yeah, maybe he got too good at street fights. Why do you leave Schlenker deal? Huh? Why did you leave Sri Lanka? Because my pimping business wasn't going well, so I came here to become an accountant. And how did that go for you?
Starting point is 00:36:57 Not good, I got fired. And now here I am at the Cosmely podcast festival, sorry I'll work it. But I do have some sex workers if anyone wants to. Some from the old days. So Charles, I'm just going to move on for you. He became a United States citizen, he got married, he had a son who was also named Charles. Come on. It's a good name, Charles.
Starting point is 00:37:22 There's so many names though, don't you have to pick, you don have to pick your own But then you get the second and you can see like Ledua or whatever the fuck is in French Ledua And then he he made his fortune who's mega rich. He made his fortune as an efficiency consultant. Who knows what that is Probably Dill. Yeah, I was gonna say I think I'm gonna take this one. Yeah Ironically the least efficient way to find out. But go. Yeah, Max sings better.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Anyway, there you go. I mean, he's not wrong, because Charles Bodo came up with the Bodo system of human power measurement, which looks to minimize waste in the economy and society. So something like that. Anyway, yaddy yaddy yaddy. Still the street fight in here. We have lost breath. Yeah. We have to do this guy get boring. You know you have RAU, you have Blanca and now you have this character. All right sorry. I thought there'd be some street fighter video game fans here and
Starting point is 00:38:23 Oh hell yeah. It's just a shit joke game fans here. Oh, hell yeah. It's just a shit joke then turns out. They're our fans. They're like, not good enough. So it made him hate some money. It was like very, very wealthy. He started his own consultancy business, which actually took off all around the world.
Starting point is 00:38:37 So he's a pretty savvy businessman. But he was not a savvy traveler. In 1934, he formed an expedition to cross the wilderness of Northern British Columbia in Canada. He called it the Badu Canadian sub-Arctic expedition, catchy. Mostly, the expedition was a publicity stunt, but it was also formed to test out
Starting point is 00:38:59 the new Citroën half-track cars that were being developed by his good friend Andre. What is just some guy called Andre? Is he like the main Citroen guy? Yeah. That's Andre Citroen, alright, okay. Yeah, yeah. Or for car.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Not a joke, just a fact. Well, and this guy proved it. He, he, he, he, he, he proved it, proved it. He's got, proved it. This can't get set. That'll be baffling to the listeners. Yeah, no, that's the best part. That's why they laugh at it. 69.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Because it's sick. Move on. So yeah, we're kind of doing it just to like, publicize this new car. And then these half track cars, the military were using them, where they're like, front wheel drive, but the back is all fucked. It's half a car.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, so anyway, so he has started his, he's fitted out his expedition exactly like you would imagine an eccentric millionaire would. He gathered two limousines, five newly invented Citroen half tracks, 130 horses. Oh, Matt. Oh. That's a lot of horse. Did he build a barn? Was his friend holding a back?
Starting point is 00:40:37 These horses were loaded with all the essentials that you'd need, like... How did they load them? I hate myself. You know you're in a monologue and sometimes out to, yeah, between hating Dave and you hating myself. That's next. You rock up and you're like, oh, there's your horse. It's always supplies ready to go. You're like, oh, it doesn't even have a saddle.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Oh, this horse has everything indeed. Where's my sleeping bag? Oh! No, these horses were carrying caviar and champagne. You know, important things to take on long expeditions. That's his old Pimstale coming back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They also had an entire film crew,
Starting point is 00:41:23 because they were going to make a about it, they reckoned. They had a couple of scientific surveyors, whatever. He brought his wife, a Bartler, a valet, a maiden waiting, and of course, his mistress as well. Whoa. Because that's what you want, the wife and the mistress. It's not surprising when you think of him as, you know, he's pimping days.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Yeah, what's up, they wouldn't have bumped into each other. If you've got 160 horses. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's just quite a well-away. So the exhibition started off at Edmonton, Alberta, on the 6th of July. And their goal was to travel 1,500 miles or 2,400 ks to telegraph quick in British Columbia. Much of the trip would have been made through regions that were relatively uncharted, no trails. And so to map the route, the expedition,
Starting point is 00:42:11 of the expedition, the Canadian government sent along two geographers, Frank Swinell and Ernest Lamark. So they've got a couple of like government officials too, but really it's just like party central. In America he was doing it's the mark but yeah. But the mark. Now obviously the day that you're going to take off on a big expedition you want to start your day right. So of course they had a champagne breakfast hosted by Edmonton's Elise, there was a parade, it was a bit full on, and there was formally sent off by Alberta's Lieutenant Governor. They hadn't long been on their journey when
Starting point is 00:42:53 it started to rain, and this weather stayed with them. Oh, fuck the rain again! No, we've just dealt with the rain from the outside, and they've ruined this podcast, and now they've ruined this guy's journey. Yeah, but like this range stopped. There's didn't for pretty much the whole time. Things went to hell almost immediately on the champagne safari when the horses kept getting bogged down in the mud and the cars kept malfunctioning as well. What a surprise.
Starting point is 00:43:19 He chose once again. He decided to dump the surveying equipment and all of the scientific parts. Yeah, kept the film crew though. Yeah, a big time. And a champagne, baby. Yeah, that's exactly what he wanted to clean more space for more caviar. And so that he could pack formal ballroom attire. Oh.
Starting point is 00:43:42 How much caviar can you have though though like in a given day do you like do you want to mean? Well I mean when you get used to a certain lifestyle is it good for you I don't know. It's fish eggs right? I can't be good. Never try it. Let's ask the kitchen behind us. We are in a kitchen so that's helpful. He also decided that the cars the citizens were expendable and it would get a bigger sensation if they were destroyed on film rather than simply making the trip intact. So he thought it would be better for his friend's brand if he destroyed his new product rather than just showing that it could do the thing it was supposed to do. I love that.
Starting point is 00:44:25 That's good marketing, that is good marketing. That is good marketing. So what they did was they put two of the citrions over a 91 meter cliff. Fuck, yes. So fun. They filmed it and then the other one they set a float on the river and they were going to blow it up and film it. But the dynamite didn't quite work, it didn't blow up so it just floated away. I can imagine them going, okay guys, now here it is. Now it is, nope, not yet. Don't go yet, don't go yet.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Fuck, it's just gone. It's seven underrated away, so the cause, any minute now, go. And then like everyone turns away and saddied happened behind them all Mr I just destroyed three cars What a piece of shit don't learn him anything What were the three techniques it was in the river one was the Cliff over the cliff are two over the cliff tell them my Louise
Starting point is 00:45:19 And then one just floating down the river but to be fair He's playing actually did kind of work. And the Canadian and American newspapers carried the news that the three of the cars have been lost and that some of the expedition members had barely escaped death in these terrible accidents. I'm just glad that he didn't think to get rid of the horses.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And imagine that we're right in front of you. I pushed the horses off the cliff. See what happens. We're strapped on a moiter that one the cliff. See what's trapped on them onto that one. Let's see what happens. Well done, that's what happens. It's bugged. The party was lauded for its bravery and determination
Starting point is 00:45:56 to continue on despite these terrible setbacks, which they did to them sell anyway. By mid September, they reckoned were just just over two weeks away from their destination so they they'd kind of made it but Frank Swanell, one of the geographers that was sent with them, aka one of few who had any idea what they were doing, said that they shouldn't go any further because there was heavy snow sitting in but that was close enough. They were about 15 days away from where they were supposed to finish. And he counted, that was a win.
Starting point is 00:46:29 He was like, we bloody did it. You did it, but okay. He called the win. He called the win. They headed home. And after nearly four months in the wilderness, a party was thrown in honour of their near achievement. A party. He's a Pimchallis-Halfool kind of guy, you know?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah, and the party turned out to be one of the biggest celebrations the town had ever thrown. So people who didn't do the thing they were set out to do. It's kind of like when I attempt to do Dryer July. I start partying ten days in and I'm like, yeah, baby, I'm made it! I did it! I got the king! And that's basically it about him. Stop partying ten days in my year baby And that's basically it about him the only other thing to mention is that a little bit later on he got really into Nazis anyway Again, it's about the journey and not the test The journey what did you mean he got into Nancy? Oh?
Starting point is 00:47:22 No, he was just arrested for treason and killed himself. It's fine! Did he try to blow himself up, but he just floated away? And that's my report on Charles Bedard. Jess Perkins, yeah! Ah Matt, it's time to bring us home. Yeah, great. I've been holding on, just listening. That was thick with info.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I feel like Brett sort of come in and take my character and done it better on this show. What do you mean character? Like a... I'm actually a real Swav motherfucker. Normally. This is all a bit I'm doing. Alright. My question, I'll do my report now. Yeah, great. My question is, which Australian cricket
Starting point is 00:48:25 art was nicknamed the Kagon Legs? Is it Booney? Booney it is. Oh it's the 52 Bees! Yeah! No one ever gets the question right. I'm not sure I can get a job. Fuck I had to assure you when I should have won that as well, how do you, so does this story about drinking on a plane? What do you like with drinking on a plane? Not a bit of stick to soda water. Never passed out on a plane and had my foot stuck out in the aisle with rigging mortis. And then the drinks cart lady ran it over 17 times because they couldn't wake me up You know what you get gonna so and then just Two days at a time. Yeah, I would have fucking done it properly though. None of that
Starting point is 00:49:11 Accordial two days He's still on the plane People are vacuum cleaning is like I'm not done yet So I'll give I'll give for internationals and others who aren't old enough to know boon I'll give you a quick why and then I'll get into the story. So his full name, David Clarence Boone. It's another beautiful name. That is a beautiful name.
Starting point is 00:49:34 He was born on the 29th of December 1960 to parents Clary and Leslie Boone in law and Sesson Tasmania. He was identified as a talented, a young age. I was playing first-class cricket for Tasmania when he was a young age, he was playing first class cricket for Tasmania when he was only 17 years old. From there he went on to have an illustrious career in the Australian national team, scoring 7,422 tests at...
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah, I was going to say, Jesus! He played it. He really paused on the runs and I was like, wow, is he still playing? He played every test ever. He scored 2100s from 107 tests. But I'm not here to talk about his on field work, but rather his exploits in the air. I know, yeah, this is this is more the real man, I'm a bit of a poet. Word Smith? Yep, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:22 An artist. Yes. I thought you said bananas. Both are true. Yes. So you're telling us David Burns not secretly an explorer? No, but he does go on a What was the topic? It was journey. Yeah, this counts. It's about a flight. That's a journey. Yeah, yeah sure sure sure Boys come on. This is a fun podcast. Let each other finish. I feel, I think you need to stop fighting you boys. Come on, this is a fun podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Let each other finish the story. I feel like I'm just trying to give it context to you. Okay, great. No, I think you should fight. Street fight. And I'll get bread to a junior. Yeah, street fight like M. Bison. I got a reaction that time.
Starting point is 00:51:00 All right. Are you can? Is that anything? Are you okay? Is that anything? Are you okay? That sounds like a charity for mental health. Are you okay? Had you a kid, isn't it? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:51:13 How do you kid? Kids at promiscule used to say that to each other, and I nodded along. Are you okay to you too? Are you okay? So the record was, have I mentioned it's a record? So this flight he goes on was a world record flight. And it was from Sydney, to London.
Starting point is 00:51:37 The record was for most beers drunk on a flight. And it had been set in 1983 by Rod Marsh at 45 cans of VB. And then on the 30th of April 1989, six years later, just passed the 30th anniversary of this big occasion in Australian history. On a quantous flight, Visinger Paul, the Keg on legs, set out to break this record. Boon himself doesn't like talking about the events. He didn't mention it at all in his biography.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Because he couldn't fucking remember it. It is. Yeah, I had like three and then it was a bit hazy, but yeah, seeing. But if anyone ever asked him about, he's really short in reply. In 2006, he said, if people haven't got someone else to talk about, they've led a fucking boring life. He always tries to shut down the conversation. Yeah, here we are.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah, yeah. The only thing worth mentioning of his career. Luckily for us, his Australian teammates love talking about it. They must have led boring fucking lives. Generally, they would have, I suppose, cricketers. Doing some stats as to how long the flight from, was it Sydney to? Sydney to? And then Singapore to London? Ah yes. So what's the total hours in the air?
Starting point is 00:52:57 It's about about 24 just short of. Including the stopover in Singapore? No, he's only in the air cans counted. He had a few drinks before getting on the plane. They need to hydrate before. Yeah. But I'd question the legitimately of this record, or the legitimacy of this record, because if you are not in first-class, there's no way you can get that many fucking cans in the... Man, he's in the car! Trust me, they cut you off, they slow you down. He's an elite sportsman. Yes, in the air.
Starting point is 00:53:27 So I'm pretty sure you would have enough. I know that in saying the record, not a normal person, IE me, could not attempt that record. A pop count? Yes, pop count. That I, like, you know what I mean? How is that a record? Right.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Now I'm passionate, it's not funny. I'm just annoyed that they won't let me do it. We should set this up. Oh, maybe not. Well, before you can, sorry Matt, how many do you reckon you could smash in a row on a journey? What was his? 52 cans. Well, I mean, we're skipping ahead of you, Dill.
Starting point is 00:53:56 There's a drive, oh. But, uh, allegedly. I'm sorry, I said it at the top as well, shit. Yeah, and I've moved on, but you're really sorry. Sorry, it is such and like for me, call me on Australian, the opposite. Sorry, call me Australian, because I'm like, everyone knows that stat, surely, right? No, okay, fuck. But I was going to say-
Starting point is 00:54:17 Dave, you would have been well aware of Boone's life. Oh, absolutely. It's part of our national anthem, I believe. Maybe this is it, because it was one of the questions on the citizenship test when I got the question. So, yeah, his teammates love talking about it still do. So, most of the story has been written down. A baseball, a Carl Rackerman remembers the... Rackerman? Is it not Rackerman? No, I think that sounded wrong.
Starting point is 00:54:43 And then now I doubt myself. And also Brett Blake. You're really just in Rack and you got to fight up. Rackman. Carl Rackman remembers that the 89.2 was the first time the Australians toured overseas in business class. Ah. It's the cut of the air.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Triple M's Nicod Cody is excited about that. There was upstairs and downstairs on the jumbo. He was in his nightgown. Downstairs was the team management, Alan Borden of the captain, Jeff Mars, Mars the vice captain, Bob Simpson, the coach and Laurie Saul, who was the chairman of selectors.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Upstairs was Boone getting stuck into the tins. And according to Rackerman, there are about 16 mates who lined up to be his pacemakers on a roster system to keep him going. Oh! Oh! Now that's the Australian spirit! Yes!
Starting point is 00:55:38 I love that's makeship. Oh yeah. That right there, that's makeship. Put in an IV bag and get it down, can't it? The separation between Boon and Tea Management was important as the captain and coach frowned upon over indulgence. It was already the fattest bloke ever to play sport. No, no, we had our Juno Ranatunga. Oh yeah, true. Yeah, and what? Oh, that's, you can't have a run, I just because you're a fat cunt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah, you know something about sports. Crickets are right. You said you played cricket in school? Oh, I told you this story the other day. I was selected for my year eight high school cricket team. And how many players do they normally select? So usually there's 11 on the field and then there's the 12th man who subs in as the fielder. They created the position of 13th man because they felt sorry for me.
Starting point is 00:56:32 To be fair, they need to see the 12 and a half men. And I basically just gave the other guys waters all day. Would you have been able to hold the bat? Well, they put me into bat ones. I made two runs. So almost accidentally, because I just swung and I just hit and then the next ball I was clean-bowled. And I was the only one of the team
Starting point is 00:56:55 who didn't play a weekend cricket, so I didn't have a box. So I just went in. No, did you need one. I was terrified. I just got the thigh pad and I was just wearing it like a... Wait, you played without the box? Yeah!
Starting point is 00:57:10 What? Yeah! You are a dead devil, my friend! Thank you. Wow, right. Jesus. And as I said the other night now, I'm horribly infertile, so... I did not work out well.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Sorry, please do go on. He sent the name of the book, guys! Okay, well, sorry, please do go on. He said the name of the boardcast. Can you believe it? Wow. We need to go back to the future. Let's see. Fast bowl of Jeff Lawson kept score on the back of a sick bag. And like Dilly's, a T-Totler.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So we know the numbers are reliable. It was a slow and steady start with Boone accompanied by Murf Hughes and Mark Tubby Taylor. Talking about being a fat guy, the whole team was a fat guy, but... Except Dennis Lillie, he's hot. Yeah, sorry. I'm just really living the good old and classic Aussie cricket days. Victor and Batsman Dean Jones soon joined and the pace lifted. Jones drank cans with Boon for a long stint, apparently going canned for canned with him
Starting point is 00:58:11 for about 20 odd cans before passing out. Wow. And he slept up at the feet of the coach. I don't know what the coaches were thinking at that point, but Boone forged on, and with strong moral support from teammates like Hughes, Rackemim, Tom Moody, and Vice Captain, and Goodmate, Jeff Marsh. Boone passed the record. All right, that sentence doesn't make sense, but that's okay. Look at me, figure it.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Boone passed the record with time to spare. But he didn't stop there and drank all the way to the plane touchdown at Heathrow, and the count you might be surprised to find out. On the back of Jeff Lawson's sick bag was 52. Yes, that's a round of applause. Fuck yes. Or about 19 and a half litres. Fuck, that is wild.
Starting point is 00:59:10 How many litres? 19 and a half. What's the most you've ever drank in a day? Beers. Um, look, I'm not in a toxic masculinity, one upman. There was a pissing contest mate. There was a trip from... It was your big beer drinker.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Yeah, I'd never 52, I promise you that. Back in my drinking days, there was a trip that my mates and I did from Melbourne to Wilson's prom, which I believe is a four-hour trip. And there was a challenge set to see how many beers I could have in that trip. I'd no one asked me to do it, I just thought, I'll have a crack. And I got through 18 cans of VB and one Yeagerbomb. And thank you. Yeah, I have a drinking problem.
Starting point is 00:59:50 And I fell out of the car and I cracked my ribs. And I couldn't, I had to, so for the four day trip, I had to spend the night in the car upright, sleeping, because I couldn't lie down. Because if I lay down, my ribs would hurt. So. So yeah, drinking is cool. It's signed it all along, dude.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Yes. Yeah, I get it. By the way, can I break the fourth wall a bit? Those two girls were not part of the podcast festival. Were they? No, right. There were two random, just random girls who decided to like sneak in.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Oh. See, someone told me that they're... No, I said random, not daisy. They were... They were Russian. Someone told me that their English was not amazing. So, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Now get us that. They've just gone, David Boone. I've got to take this information back to Moscow. That is... Well... They're about to go in a very interesting journey themselves. Probably they put up with three reports. Three.
Starting point is 01:00:44 They're like, we know this story even. I can't believe they put up with three reports. Three. They're like, we know this story even. This is reached Russia this way. They were so close to the end of the destination. A lot like whatever the guests said about her journey person. Anyway, I don't remember the name. Pay attention. The joke still works.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Fuck off, can'ts. I like journey person instead of Explorer. I think that should take off. Journey Person, it's good to be like that. But do, but do, that was a go. But do, yes. According to Future Captain Steve War, not all the sick bags fed so well, saying,
Starting point is 01:01:17 the very instant we pulled up at our allotted gate, back up Wicked Keeper Tim Zora, Lurchford and filled up his sick bag to Chris and the tour. Oh. That's beautiful. As a nurse, Yeah. According to Rackerman,
Starting point is 01:01:31 as they were coming into London, the pilot gave his normal welcome to Heathrow announcement, and then he says, Good luck to the Australian cricket team, who are already off to a good start, and congratulations to David Boone for breaking the Australian to England beer drinking record. Yeah!
Starting point is 01:01:45 The passengers applauded, much like that, but also the coach heard the announcement. So the jig was up. Boone was fined 5 grand, which is a lot of money in 89, and put on probation. $5 grand, which is a lot of money in $89, and put on probation. Oh, Catholic Hilljoy. Apparently he didn't show any great signs of intoxication until he tried to get up and walk. Wait, so how was he? I mean, he must have broken the seal at some point. How was he wearing that entire time if he wasn't walking? That's what the team mates were helping him with.
Starting point is 01:02:27 That's when the 12th man really comes here. It's a water break and he's just show up with all the bottles. Steve Orr said, Jeff Marsh realized his great mates predicament and grabbed his arm and weekend at Bernie's style escorted him through customs and into our bus to begin a recouperation that included a couple of days sleep. Over there, it probably slept for 36 hours and missed two training sessions. The coach wanted to keep the story from the media, but soon after landing, Murfews
Starting point is 01:03:02 was straight in on a phone interview with Australian radio, excitedly recounting what had just occurred. Saying, the big news is that Boone cracked the first 50 of the tour. Ha! It's a great gag. When the coach heard the interview, he used to remember that he got in more trouble than Boone. Said he was shitting himself that he was going to be sent home. But he wasn't. And the heavy drinking didn't seem to affect the Australian team on the field, as they won the series 4-0 with Boone scoring 442 runs at an average of 55.25. So he had to have six to go.
Starting point is 01:03:41 If you really wanted to make it, he should have got an average of 52. The same year, Boon was awarded an MBA or a member of the British Empire in recognition of his sporting achievements apparently, but... We knew it! The Queen, oh yeah. Finally, I feel like Brett might appreciate this. Finally, when Ian Chappell, who was an Australian cricket retired about 10 years before this game, heard the story of Burns Flight.
Starting point is 01:04:08 He was unimpressed. Having retired 10 years prior, Chappell commented, what is the world going to think that Australia has become a namby-pamby nation which doesn't know how to drink? For God's sake, in my day, 58 beers between Sydney and London would virtually have classified as a tea tola. LAUGHTER 58 beers between Sydney and London would virtually have classified as a tea toater. I'm surprised the Enchampus had that he's usually the grumpy true shooting guy. Not in 89. It was a French
Starting point is 01:04:34 Pimp back then. That almost makes sense as a callback. Anyway, that's the end of the report. Let's get on back to the food! That's the end of the report. Let's get on back to the booth! That's you, David Boone! A lot of journey. Great stuff, man. Great, great stuff. So that does pretty much bring us to the end of the episode.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Thank you so much for coming out, giving us... Thank you. You're lovely, of course. Thank you. It has been so nice to be welcomed in by the dumbed-um people. Thank you. You're lovely of course, thank you. It has been so nice to be welcomed in by the dumbed-um people. I know you're not used to people being nice, but it has been very nice to have been so cool to be involved. Thanks so much for having us. Yeah, you've been...
Starting point is 01:05:21 And thank you guys for having me and Brady on for this podcast. You've been really, really fun. And I'm glad we got to introduce Brett to learning. It can be fun. I have a funny feeling I might forget it all very soon. Brett and Deli, you both have your own podcast. Yes, I have a podcast called FitBet podcast, which is any listeners here? Yay!
Starting point is 01:05:44 So do go on listeners if you can hear that cheer that is not manufactured. It's podcast with me and my friend, who were both, we were about 120 kilos each, and we had a bet to get under 100 kilos for $1,000. And it originally just covers our journey of losing the weight. And then it's now got a whole bunch of great, amazing guests, including Cricket and Drew Freddiflintov,
Starting point is 01:06:02 was one of the guests we had. Thank you. It was really exciting. So yeah, please check that out. Great stuff. And, Freddie Blake, you've got your pot too? Yeah, it's called Worse First Dates. We've gone...
Starting point is 01:06:12 Oh, yeah. We've gone shit dates, talk about shit stuff and man, I'm the worst foot plug-in stuff. It's a very great podcast. You recently had Judith Lucy on. You've been on a lot of work. We were talking about dating and everything that's fucked in your life. It's a very great podcast. You recently had Judith Lucy on. You're not working on that. You're not working on that. You're dating and everything that's fucked in your life.
Starting point is 01:06:27 It's a good fun. It's a good podcast. Very, very fun. Bloody good stuff. So check those out. And let's give Brett and Dylan a massive round of applause. Thanks so much for coming on, guys. APPLAUSE And before we go, one final. I would just like to say a massive round of applause for
Starting point is 01:06:45 and a big thank you to Carl Chandler and Tommy Desolate from the Little Dunham Club for inviting us here. And organising what is an insane festival, what a crazy idea, but they've really pulled off three years in a row and it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of it, so we really do appreciate it. Yeah, them having us a new guys coming out and as Matt said, just being such awesome people. So thank you so much. Appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:07:10 That's the end of our episode. Until next week, I guess we'll say thanks to having us, and good bye. Bye. Copenhagen. Copenhagen. Copenhagen. And we're back in the studio for another outro to another episode. I've to go on.
Starting point is 01:07:30 So nice to be back here in the freezing cold of Melbourne. Yeah, not Australia. Well, my sunburn is still reminding me of the fun that we had. Oh, yeah, you two got a little burnt. I did not. You did not, Slander, my good name. They did actually. The sun's been so much time in the pool
Starting point is 01:07:45 I assumed the sunscreen I applied I reckon I was the only one apart from you Matt because you weren't in the pool as much On the whole trip really of the comedians there who didn't get burnt. That's probably fair Yeah, Kappa and Blake Brett Blake who we just heard on the episode there absolutely red is So red so you I was Ticking mellanova clock is counting lobster. Oh, so red. So you make a lobster. I wasn't part. I was just ticking. Melanoma clock is counting down. I got broke by a second. Top of my feet, because it's areas that don't see a lot of sun.
Starting point is 01:08:10 The areas like my arms and stuff will find. Right. It was top of my feet and my boobs, because I was topless sun baby. Like a dog. I wasn't at all. I was wearing bethers. I went with this. I'm like, I don't remember that.
Starting point is 01:08:22 It feels like someone would have mentioned that. My secret is I went with three bottles of sunscreen and I came back with one. You put on that much sunscreen, but I did get out of the pool and put on more sunscreen. Obviously, I just, I'd left it too late in the gap between the first application of sunscreen and getting out of the pool. We haven't decorated, this was a nice day. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm just saying I'm fondly remembering that trip. It was a real, I really remember it really fondly as well. I think I went in with no expectations.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Yeah. But I just had a really lovely time. And the audience was so nice. Yeah. Great bunch of comedians. We had a great time. Yeah, met a bunch of, do you go on as for the first time, which was cool?
Starting point is 01:09:04 Yeah, very cool. From all over the world, which was really nice. Mainly Australia, but there were Americans there. Met a no-hine. Yes. Who had been listening to this show, but had no idea who it was. Someone, someone, I was talking to him. She was lovely.
Starting point is 01:09:18 And I had like no worries that you don't know who I was. But she, someone else came up to me and goes, holy shit, it's him or something like that. And she went, wait, who are you? I said, I'm doing the other podcast, I'm not on the dumb dumb club, I'm on the other podcast, do you go on? I'm on the host on that.
Starting point is 01:09:38 And she's like, ah, I'll listen to that. Which one are you? I'm Jess. That's great. She was'm Jess. That's great. She was really funny. That is fantastic. And she's from Ohio. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:59 Yeah, we hope you enjoyed the show. Fantastic to hang with everyone there. We've got to do a shout out to Stephen Edmond who actually suggested journeys. Oh, yes. And we were there with him in Thailand. Yeah. And I even told him before the show, he told me, oh, the one who suggested that.
Starting point is 01:10:13 And I said, mate, we'll hook you up with a sweet shout out. But then in the chaos of doing the live show and the in moving venues, yeah, totally forgot. I'm really sorry. And it was cool to hang out with you. He's a lovely man. He's a guy I've spoken to on Twitter a bunch, but only at after one of our Melbourne live shows that I realized who he was because he's Avatar. It's the Lego.
Starting point is 01:10:33 It's Lego. Yeah. And he kept posting photos of us from the audience. He takes good photos. And I slowly figured out by sudden the position. And then it was after the last episode. I'm like, it's you, the Lego man. Or no, yeah, he came and maybe even broke into me because I tweeted and I'm like, I'm gonna figure out who you are. Who are you? I'm gonna for you.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Thanks for these photos, man. And he was like, funny and whimsical, you're like, I will for you. So yeah, thank you, Steven. Yeah, I appreciate that. Great. And I'm just trying to find the other live episode we did was also a Patreon suggestion. Yes, that's right. Yeah.

Oh, because it was in Thailand two weeks ago. Yeah, I've got to know. But his fact is this. And I'm always reading it out for the first time.
Starting point is 01:13:17 So if it sounds like I'm fumbling, I'm, you know, I can read. Just not that well. His fact is, did you know that Elmo, the muppet, I'm, you know, I can read. Just not that well. His fact is, did you know that Elmo, the muppet, such puppet, is the only non-human to testify before the US Congress, advocating funding for music education programs? What?

Starting point is 01:14:51 So how many How many and I know people listening just heard this but how many beers did Boone drink? 52 Spoil it early in the report. But twice. So he came out to me and apologized and I said mate, honestly, not a problem at all. That's not trying to milk a little bit of wine.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Yeah, that was just a little bit of fun. It's really fine, but. Brett also came up and apologized because I said at some point I'm like, Brett's just doing my character only better. Which is just me trying to make a joke of the fact that he's sort of like a bit of a dopey-bogen who...
Starting point is 01:15:30 Is that who you see yourself? Is that who I am? No. Who what am I? You are the backbone of this podcast. Why, you saying dopey-bogen's coming back? I think you're more of a dumb shit loser. And that's how we keep you brandish.
Starting point is 01:15:42 That's a lot harsher. Dopey-bogen almost feels like it's a term of a dumber. Yeah, that's how we keep you brandish. That's a lot harsher. Don't be bogging it almost feels like it's a term of a habit. Yeah, that's an idea. Dave and I kind of like an alley hoop. Like I really raise you up. I pick you up. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh- this part of the Facebook group. So yes, Stephen Edmunds can confirm he suggested the stories of Crazy Journey. It was not lying to me next to the pool.
Starting point is 01:16:10 And also the dumb death suggestion was from Bron Lively. Oh, Bron well done. Greywork Bron, so it's Bron. Sorry to chat out to you. Okay, so for today, what if we did something like on a flight, what would they consume 52 of? Right, so instead of beers. Or not instead of beers. Yeah, it could be beers. Oh, just a type of beer.
Starting point is 01:16:36 He drank VBs, maybe it's a different kind of beer. Yeah, maybe it's more of a craft beer, maybe it's a European beer. We're normally inspired by their name as well, is that? That's not always, but... Not always, but it might come about this time. Can I kick it off? Pleee! I'd love to thank Dave, his VA Virginia.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Yeah. I'd love to thank from Ashland Virginia in America, the United States. Dave Bedard, or Bedard. Dave Bedard, Bedard. Who is it on his own? Bedard or Bedard? Dave Bedard. Hoist it on his own, Bedard. Still don't know what a Petard is. Is anyone who?
Starting point is 01:17:10 No idea. I don't know what you're referencing. Oh, it's a phrase hoisted by a Petard. I don't think it is. Was it from old country? Yes, it's definitely an old saying. One of the words isn't even a real word anymore. All right.
Starting point is 01:17:24 All right, what could Dave have consumed 52 of? 52 lobster dishes. Lobster dishes. This is so they're all different. But lobster is a key ingredient or 52. Can you think of 52? Can you think of like three ways you could serve lobster? Lobster brisk raw.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Oh dear, that's a bad idea. Don't go the raw prawn with me. She's another saying. Oh my God, for saying all these olden days. Fried lobster. Fried lobster. That's three. Do you eat lobster?
Starting point is 01:17:57 No. I've never ate lobster. It's one of the things I missed. Never ate it. In my meat days. I've never ate lobster. I never ate lobster. Don't you question me.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Luckily this hasn't been recorded. Oh, lobster dishes. I get the feeling of the inner Virginia they only travel in first class. Yeah, fair enough. The lobsters all they ate. So Dave has consumed 52 different lobster dishes on a flight.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Amazing. Lobstered it. And also I've just quickly looked it up. This is from the Fussy website Wikipedia. Shake Spears phrase, your book nerd. Oh here we go. Always with his own petard is an idiom that means to be harmed by one's own plan or to harm someone else. Well I can't we just move on. What do you have to do, rail, by Googling all the time? Why can't we just live in the moment? Because, what is it? Now move on with... So, okay, I'm saying it's an old-end day phrase, and then you've gone,
Starting point is 01:18:54 aha, it's Shakespeare. Yeah, the most modern of all the publics. So, I mean, you just... Well, more for Dave. Dave was making me feel like an idiot, like it wasn't a real thing. Well, let's say... He's a big Shakespeare boy.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Would you say what Shakespeare is wrong? Yeah, the one of the plays. The play that he did. The play Dave, not the screen play, like so many of his other work. Anyway, thank you to Dave. And I hope you enjoyed your 52 dishes of lobster. I like the tablet. Who are you to that?
Starting point is 01:19:23 One of the big ones. Yeah, I've even done it on bookcheap. Fuck. Anyway, check it out. May so, uh, dolders from that one. Yeah, 52 lobsters, I wish you luck. That's even harder than a beer. I reckon. Yeah, that you were definitely. You're dead. Yeah, you're dead. But anyway, thank you. Actually, like, to be honest, most people eating 52 of anything will probably spew. Yeah, definitely. Unless it was from Richmond and Victoria,
Starting point is 01:19:51 Billy, Amat-Nix, Bile Amat-Nix, Billy Amat-Nix. I'm gonna say that's still Billy. Billy Amat-Nix. Yeah. Because Billy will not spew, because they're gonna eat 52 M&M's. Oh, well played. That's probably a pretty good portion. Two and an hour for long
Starting point is 01:20:11 six hours. Two and an hour for 26 hours. You shouldn't buy like weeks, isn't it? Like weeks of the year? No, just about about two because I like maths. Fuck, no. For an hour, for 13 hours. Fuck off, no. Eight, every six and a half hours. Oh, you suck. Richmond, Victoria, which is where the MCG is, the home of Osiril's football. Yeah, just down the road from me.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Now, M&Ms, peanut, plain, crispy, or some other. I am crispy all the way. I'm a crispy fan as well, but I think, because it's rare, it's a rare, I don't get them as much. There is something about that texture as well. Chris B's good peanut butter and my name. Oh, I'm here for that 100%.
Starting point is 01:20:52 They're very difficult to get in Australia. Yeah, they are. I think you can find them. There's actually a little convenience to a on Swanson street that has them. So, off the... In Richmond. No, it's not Swanson.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Oh, okay, so. So sometimes when I'm walking home, especially late at night. I'm heading for the train session I'm heading for the tram and I walk past that place and like well, I got a little snack Girl snack for the tram. So you get a peanut butter. I'm gonna have a little bit salty. Billy if you could let us know What's your ever-numbered choice? What's your flavor? Tell me what's your flavor? Thank you. May I also thank some people please? Please. Two if you will.
Starting point is 01:21:27 All right. I'd like to thank from VanCoover in Canada. Whoa. I'd like to thank Rory CooMe. Ah, the CooMe. Love the name Rory. Rory's great. CooMe's great.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Rory's like a CooMe's amazing. CooMe. Okay. Rory. CooMe. What does Rory strike you as having a bit of a tasteful energy drinks? Oh, I guess Rory's dead as well. You're signing Rory's death. I keep killing the people I'm giving for.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Rory's heart gives up, but halfway through that. At a point, your heart stops and then you keep drinking and it starts again. Yeah, I have a told you when I first went to, the second time I went to London, I was there. Oh, we've heard this. Oh, we've heard this. Sorry, I don't know, I was been on the show, but the worst hangover you've ever had?
Starting point is 01:22:13 Yeah, I think it was the second I was there. Maybe it was the first day. And we went out and then we went to this shitty pub club. And just when you're in that mood, it's like wow, there's other place. I've got a two month holiday coming up. Let's see what happens. And I went up and I said, let's start this off not off of the bank. And I was there with my man. I said, two Vodka Red Bulls. And the bartender goes, double Vodka Red Bulls are cheaper. and the bartender goes double-von-corred bulls are cheaper. How is that possible?
Starting point is 01:22:45 How are you going to do this? Okay. Make it four double-von-corred bulls. Oh my God. And then by the time I'd finished, it was from two to eight shots suddenly. Yeah, it didn't make any sense. And I didn't even consider that.
Starting point is 01:22:56 But so that's all I drank for the rest of the night. Rounds of four double-von-corred bulls. And we were there for hours. So I had both, I would have had vodka alcohol, sugar, and caffeine overdoses, probably that night, and I've never felt so ill. I cried in the cab on the way home. On the way back to the company. On the way back to the company. Already chilling ill at the end of the night.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Well, we could not find the accommodation. My mate fell asleep and we were driving around in circles because they're addresses in, I said that weird. They're addresses, I'll say that weird again. They're addresses. Yeah, you were right the first time. They're addresses are weird in London. They're real long and specific, but I was missing a key bit of information,
Starting point is 01:23:40 so I meant that it could have been in multiple places. Oh, yeah, it's a nice place. And why were you crying? Because I was off my chops. But also, hadn't you only just got there? Yeah. So you jet like the shit as well. And just delirious and confused and like, this is a nightmare and I just broke down and
Starting point is 01:23:57 broke me in half. And so funny. And yeah, the next day I was on a bus and I went up to the driver I'm like you go let me off. I'm gonna spew and he goes he just pointed at the ground at my feet. He said go on then What a strange thing to do. Did you oblige? I'm like I just something about that pressure meant that I'd no longer need to Just be I got off of the next stop and spew to the bean but Anyway, why why are you on a bus? Why don't you stay in bed? We're gonna try and go see a movie.
Starting point is 01:24:30 Try and feel a bit better. And how long before you drank alcohol again after that? Well, I reckon it was later that I tried soon after because I was young and dumb. Didn't realize my body just needed a long break. So I tried it was just like razor blades. Yeah. For ages and it wasn't until I was on a ship
Starting point is 01:24:49 on the way to the Greek islands. Fuck that. I was on the way to Athens maybe. And I had a beer and I was like, ooh, this tastes good. Beer, eh? And for some reason the day before razor blades, but that day gone to Greece, Greek hounds and...
Starting point is 01:25:07 Oh, okay. That was fun. I got the C.A. Wait, what was the question? What was I answering there? No, I was talking about roaring. Could you drink anything? No, I was talking about roaring.
Starting point is 01:25:15 No, I was talking about roaring. Could you drink anything? Anything drinks like roaring, did. I wonder how many I had that night. I reckon I would have had less than 52, but I would have had 20 or something, like a stupid amount. Yeah, that's too much.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Or that probably only half cans each time so maybe Maybe 10 or whatever you're gonna. He had 20 double shots of vodka. I think so. Yes. Closer to bottles That can't be right I don't know like honestly my memory of a lot of that night is sketchy and only that's not only because it was a hundred years ago. But anyway, thank you to Rory and sorry for killing you. And sorry for that anecdote, Rory. I'd also like to thank if I may, from New York. Oh, the city that never sleeps.
