Hello Dave. Hello Matt. Great to be here again. Sorry, we're fighting again. Who? Did I do something? Was it me? I'm Matt and I are fighting. All right, sorry.

We're not talking to each other. Tell Matt that you're fighting with him. No, you're the... I'm the one fighting with him. You tell Matt I'm fighting with him. You're fighting with him. No, you're the, I'm the one fighting with him. You tell Matt I'm fighting with him. You're fighting with me? Jess. God, that would be so tedious for a full episode.

God. Tell Matt my very funny joke I just met. He's pretending he can't hear it. Make Matt laugh at that. It's great to be back in the studio. This is our first episode that we've recorded after our Christmas break. Yeah.

We haven't seen each other in three weeks. And when I saw Jess, I said, is this the longest time we haven't seen each other in the last four years? I feel like it might be. I think it might be. Is that sad? Close.

That's a big three weeks. I don't even realize it being that long. It's good to see you again. Now that is a three. I've been away, I from being in Tasmania. Yeah. For about three weeks. So it's weird.

Weird that it's been that long. So we all went out and saw a bit of Australia. Yeah. I went north. I went south. I went not as far north. Yeah. Yeah, all four corners of the globe.

So arguably, I was way better, because I went a bit further. Yeah, I think so. So there's that. Yeah, it's absolutely true. Just saying. But I had to cross water. You did. So I am the better one. I think I think I did tell you. We arrived in Baram Bay on New Year's Eve, Baram Bay, very popular place all year round, really, particularly in New Year's Eve. As Falls Festival is happening there at the time, and we got there to realize our accommodation had been booked for the 31st of January.

And who booked that? Not me! Okay. No, all the ones I booked were, which was every other place we stayed on the trip. Oh, that looks like me. We're correctly booked. Just give a little bit of responsibility to make him feel good.

So did you just book that one? Are you going to go up for January? I look, if we weren't going to get a refund, I was like, well, we're going back. But we found literally the last air being be available. But it was a little shack. It called itself Shabby Shake. It was just Shabby in a caravan park. And it was a little shack. It called itself Shabby Shake.

It was just Shabby in a caravan park. And there were cockroaches. Oh, that's living. And the floor was dirty. So it was a holiday. You want to get the New South Wales experience you got out of cockroaches. You're simply not.

You have a huge up there. They are. They're massive. And they known as the cockroaches. Maybe one of their sporting teams or something, the cockroaches. I think maybe they're rugby team. I would hate to play for the cockroaches, maybe one of their sporting teams or something, the cockroaches. I think maybe they're rugby team. I would hate to play for the cockroaches. I might be making that up.

Maybe that's what Queensland is called. They have a real rivalry. Queensland and New Zealand. Well, it feels weird being down here and not really hating anyone. We're like the third sibling. We are. Hey guys, what's up? Oh, my God.

Yeah. Yeah. Be pissed off at us. Oh, okay. Don't worry about it. There's nothing in anything. Yeah. Yeah. Be pissed off at us. Oh, okay. Don't worry about it. There's nothing you need anything. We're pathetic. We are pathetic.

We need to grow up. We need to read a book. Yes. No, I think we should have a three-way with Queensland and New South Wales and really get something going. Okay. Really. All right. Anyway, good to be back from our holidays.

That is good to be back from our holidays. Off to a flying star. We are. So this show works, Jess, if that's what you're about to ask us. Yes. One of the three of us researchers at Topic often suggested by a listener and we researched that topic with all we've got. And we bring in the report that we've come up with. We've got we bring it in with all we've got.

Yeah we get it. We get it. My god, we're on the second floor here. I don't see it's exhausting. Like that guy, Apicus or whatever we pushed a rock up a hill. Someone correct me. What's it guys now? Apicus.

Apicus Finch. Don't have me. And so we. I love to kill I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I loveman will listen to it. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you mean. And we get on to the topic with a question.

This week, I'm asking the question, because it's my topic, and the question is, very self-indulgent. Which band have I seen live more than any other? Oh my God. Oh my God, what's the name of that cover band? At like the Maribon or Hotel? What's some shit all? At Adam 13 or something like that

taco. I need reference taco. Taco, I actually would have seen taco quite a few times back in the day at the edgy and other such places, the sandy. I couldn't think of any of your actual haunts. Maribon. But your one was the not wasn't it a viewer. Okay, no offense, Maribur, but you know what you did. And most live that we've already done Tism, but you couldn't have seen them that many times. Yeah. So then four times Tism. I reckon I've seen this band be pushing up to 15. Wow. Wow. Okay. Are they Aussie? Yes. Okay. My mind is going completely blank. Oh, I was just listening to you on Josh O's podcast a few months ago with Tim Rodgers from UMI.

It's not UMI. Great band. I've seen them. I would have seen them a good half dozen times. This band. Is it Nick Cave? It's not Nick Cave. Can we have a letter? F. Friend's a Cave? It's not Nick Cave. Do you have a letter?

F. Friends of rock? It is Friends of rock. Yes! Yes! 15 times. I reckon, yeah. Including festivals.

They were at the first festival I went to in 1998 at the music bowl called Push Over. And it was sick. Awesome. That's great. I think I've seen them twice. Put on it, too. Awesome. That's great. I think I've seen them twice. Put on a show. Oh, so fun. The first time was another sort of like all I just

festival at Luna Park. Oh, I reckon that might have been another one of the push-ups or push-on, man. Yeah, might have been a push-over, I think. Actually, it was about 2004 or 2005, maybe. Yeah, it was pretty young. Yeah. Yeah, great band, very fun.

But I don't know too much about the history of them, to be honest. Oh, cool. Well, I'm about to tell you about it. I just remind of me, if I'm going through my brain all the times I've seen them, one of the times I saw them was after the saints lost their 2010 grand final.

So they booked the weekend after the grand final, but because it was a draw, that to replay the game. And I bought a ticket to it, thinking, oh, it's not, it's a week after grand final. Yeah, because it was a draw, that to replay the game. And I bought a ticket to it thinking, oh, it's not, it's a week after Grand Final. Yeah, so it was such a weird show where I'm real sad. I put on a good show, I remember, all the same. They cheered me up quite a bit. And the venue's in the corner in Richmond's,

I walked from MCG to the ground, amongst all these celebrating football fans. We still wearing your jersey? Oh well I don't think I would have been wearing a hat and a scarf or something probably. I thought that's so. Probably face painted. Yeah, so did you like, oh I was going to see friends all over. Probably holding like red and black balloons.

You weren't like having a flag. The red and white drift off, but you just left them the black. You're covering up your premiership tattoo. This is embarrassing. I already changed the date from last week. Now it didn't win. So this topic was suggested by Michael Nados, who wrote in the suggestion hat, a long and interesting career, my favorite Australian band.

Oh, great. Anyway, let's get it to the topic, friends of Rome. They were formed in Newtown in Sydney in 1992 by singer Jason Wally and bass player Alexis Feltman who were childhood friends. At the time of their formation, J, was the son of academics, still is, I suppose. I was studying philosophy at Sydney University

and the band formed to enter a university battle of the bands. And there was no plans to keep the band going after that. I was just like, well, bring it together for a one off, battle the bands and then it'll move on with their life. Oh, that's fun. The band was named after Jay's pet rat, who was in turn named after French physicist

Augustine Jean Fresno's invention, the Fresno ROM. According to Miriam Webster, Fresno ROM is a rhombic prism of glass used to transform plain polarised light into circularly polarised or elliptically polarised light. Yeah, that makes sense. I knew where I knew that from. Yeah, ell if you know anything about it, I'm sure it's really interesting, but I didn't understand 90% of those words. For I have an arts degree, you know?

Yes. Well, which is what Jay was doing as well. I mean, I'm not sure. I mean, I mean, it sounds fascinating. And if you know anything about it, I'm sure it's really interesting, but I didn't understand 90% of those words. For I have an arts degree. Yes. Well, which is what Jay was doing as well,

majoring in philosophy. Jay remembers the influences that got him into the idea of starting a punk band, saying, the punk music really started appealing to me by listening to Australian punk bands, like the meanies, the hard-ons, and nursery crimes. They were also doing all ages shows, way before all ages was a popular thing to do. For the Battle of the Bands, the lineup was rounded out by Gitarus Ben Costello and drummer Bruce Brabbrook, and they ended up coming second in the Battle of the Bands. And this mod of success led to the band continuing on and eventually to sing a J dropping out of uni.

Oh wow. Originally. I mean, you only came second, mate. No, we're on the highway to success. Yeah, punk. Australian punk, this is gonna pay the bills. Well, probably more than philosophy. Yeah, obviously.

You're fair. Ah, originally. Take that philosophy in, at least take it less. Original drama, Bruce, I bet they are. Please email do go on poditgemail.com and tell Jess. Philosophers love podcasting too. I want that email, yes. Original drummer Bruce made way for Carl Persky.

And in 1994, they released their first CD in EP called Dick Sandwich. He was like, put my job in line. The big time with it. Well, he recalls telling his parents about the change in direction, quote, I told my father I was gonna be dropping out of university, going on the dole and starting a punk band

with our first EP called Dick Sandwich. I showed him the cover of it with the character on the front eating a sandwich full of severed penises. You'd never seen a more disappointed human in all your life. Brick is dead tired. Oh. The band were told by Link from the meanies never seen a more disappointed human. And all of your life. That's hard. The band were told by Link from the meanies that it would be crazy to pay more than $500 to record an album.

But according to Jay, they spent $1,200, recording Dick Sandwich, and it quote, sounds much worse than any meanies $500 record. Just to clarify there, $2,200 is more than $500., $500 record. Just to clarify, there are two, 1200 is more than 500. Yes. Thank you. And it sounds worse. Yeah.

I did some maths. Yeah. This one. It's quite an impressive one. It's not a run out there. It's not a run out there. I can blast light through a prison in my own time. Yeah, I can do optical flicker, dig a dig.

Do you feminism, is it? I can blast the light through your prison. Absolutely not. I'll see you more. I'll see you more. I did you farewell. I just make it easy, John. I got a blast that through prison.

You're porcelain prison. It's like you're saying prison. You know what, a porcelain prison. It's a toilet. They should make prisons out of porcelain. Nah, that's probably a bad idea. You can break it, right? Yeah, but I'd love that. Do you cover the shit if you do it?

I'm looking at it. It's a problem in prison. Don't look at it. Yeah, prisons's real ugly. Yeah, make him nice. Make him pretty. Make him more attractive. Put a rug down or something.

You know, juice it up, out of throw cushion. Been a wall art. Make it a place where you'd like to go in later. Make it out of balls, let it be a one, I don't know, but... The album has been to the EP, at least, has been derided by the band and others for sounding like it was recorded under a do-no. Because it was. But despite this, the independent release sold out its run of a few thousand copies and is now somewhat of a collector's item.

Oh wow. I'm an owner of a family. You've got a little retirement fund. Yeah. Where did you pick up your copy? JB Hifi. Wow, it's pretty hard to get. Yeah, I think I think they yeah, it was just the only one there. And as a fan, I wonder if that was a re-release of what? Because I wasn't into them when they kicked off. I didn't get in them till later in the 90s. As a fan, listening back to it compared to the other stuff, is it not as is the quality bad

It's different in a few different ways. I mean compared to the band now Jayzy only Members still around the singer and they used to do a lot more slap base But also it does like the Everyone can do that So well, that's the cool thing about as bait, like there's been a couple of replacement bass players since, and they've been sick of playing all the different styles of bass show. I always find impressive, send them live with a newer bass player, they play an old song,

and they're pulling out all the stuff. Just... Just punk music with the sign felt the thing mixed in. What's the deal with telling your parents to go fuck themselves? Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Now, that's a thing of TV themes that I'll first be pitted of their version of the home and away theme. Actually, I think I have heard that.

I didn't realize that that was from that. That's awesome. When they release the EP National Youth Radio Station, Triple J, Jess's employer told the band to quote, grow up. That sounds like something we'd say. Jess, have you ever told any new young up and comers to grow up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we have Triple J on Earth, which is a whole

another station now as well. And like people starting out, upload their music there, and people can jump on and review it, and us presenters review a lot of stuff too, that really helps out young up-and-comers, and all of my reviews just say, grow up! I give everyone half a star, I say grow up! Grow up readable! What's the lower star, I think you've ever given? Oh, like four, I'm very kind. I thought you might be right. I don't want to give everybody, like they're all trying their best. That's the lower star rating you've ever given? Oh, like four, I'm very kind. I thought you might be right.

I don't wanna give everybody, like they're all trying their best. That's the thing. If I really don't like something, I won't review it. Yeah, that makes sense. I'll just review stuff I like. Cause it gives you a little, oh, that's nice. You was right, not as good as the sun felt thing.

Yeah, okay, that'll be my next one. But then I think, cause it sounded like you were diminishing the nice words you were saying for any of them listening. But then you went on a sort of change there because you're like, if I've reviewed you, I probably hated it. I can't possibly listen to everything. You listen to everything.

I've listened to everything and I've been like 10 reviews. So grow up. In October that year, 1992, they released a three track, hang on, not only four, sorry, they released a three track single called Sorry About The Ruse on their label, which they called, how much did I fucking pay for this records? This included a cover of DePesh modes, just can't get enough, which they'd change lyrics from just can't get enough to, how can I fuck the system when I just can't get it up? It's pretty, it's political.

Yeah, that's good. Which I like a bit. Makes you think, makes you chuckle, and then it makes you think. And then it makes you grow up, you know? Yeah, they took Triple J's every last month. They've grown up very quickly. And once again, on behalf of Chivalger, you're welcome. I remember, and when I,

so I think that was maybe a release of the final initially, maybe, but I went I saw I'm in 98 at that pushover festival. I remember them just flinging CD, cardboard CD, copies of it into the crowd. And I got another one of those, also funding my retirement. Perhaps, naively, the band sent a letter to DePeshmo's publishing company asking, oh, would you mind if we use this song and change lyrics?

And according to Jay, singer, they sent back a very firm, no, no, you cannot. You do not have permission, and that's when we realized, oh wow, we should just have never asked. Yeah. And then we went and did it anyway. The back cover of the CD is the rejection letter. Print it out.

Or it's actually a fax. A rejection fax. A rejection fax. Somehow. Somehow. Most brutal form of rejection comes in a fax. Big time. Cause it prints that slowly. And you're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh Man of a thousand was it a fact dear friends are on stop please stop stop

Yeah, you're right rejection telegram would be worse rejection carrier pigeon you have to look that pigeon in the eyes and it knows and it can't look you in the eyes It's like oh I'm all sad. Oh, I'm so sorry. I think it's a great idea. Yeah, I think it's great, but don't shrink the messages out. That's good stuff. In the early 90s, the California and Punx scene was exploding, and that sort of skate punks scene, which I think Dave is, you're into that a bit as well, a bit later on. Yeah, a lot of all that stuff, you're in off-ex, etc. Jess, you ever get into that kind of stuff?

No, I'm very wholesome. This is wholesome stuff. At 13, I was very into Delta Good Room. Oh, that is wholesome. That is very wholesome. She was born to try. Yeah. She was born to live.

You know? She had a very, very big album. Yeah, I can't stand her now, but. Was it born to try? Yeah. Was it learned to live? I think it was this. Da think I'm lost in my reflection. Oh yeah. That doesn't really ring a bell.

Tano does that like you don't know. I mean, the other great song of 2004. So that California punk scene was exploding. Australia was one of the biggest scenes for it outside of America that really got in. It was especially the American bands and also had a bunch of our own. So, a man, friends, was able to support a bunch of touring bands including Bad Religion, The Offspring, Pennywise and Blink 182. Damn.

In 1990, who was the first? Consider everyone to have a Blink 182. Really? Supported by Bodija, an unwritten law, and Costicsator. That's cool. I remember. Tucker? I thought I was there.

I probably saw Tucker than I before. Ah. But I remember, I didn't, I don't think I really got how I was meant to go. So I got there and Costicsator, the opening act we're playing. It was on all ages show. It would have been 14, so you just went real hard. And everyone was going hard. I remember the band were like, wow, this is great. We played the over ages show, it would have been 14, so he just went real hard and everyone was going hard.

I remember the band were like, wow, this is great, we played the over ages show last night and everyone was too cool, so thanks so much for getting into it, we love the kids. How's fucking knackered by the time it came on? You had just phoned yourselves. It was flinkin' like, what the fuck's wrong with these kids? You're all havin' a nap. They also probably were like clearly the worst band on the, like I liked them.

Great, but they're live-ax, they're not. They're sort of pretty clumsy. Yeah. I think they got better, but this was, you know, I was pretty early in there, create. In 1995, the band released their first LP, coughing up a storm on shock records in Australia. Around this time they

supported one of those who have banned Snow FX, whose band leader Fat Mark also had a burgeoning record label, Dave named... Fat records. Fat rec record, sorry. And Fat Mark really liked Frenzel, and he put out one of the tracks of the album as a single, as a seven-inch single in America, four leaders, which is a song about Goon. Um, there's Australian... Uh, just... Boxed one. That's why it's called four leaders.

They sort of just go through a bunch of different kinds of Goon. So that's fun. Alexia. Makes you sexier. So they were also featured on the Fat Records compilation Survival of the Fatest, which opened up more doors for the band. This is a quote from Jay, I guess the Fat Records thing helps us wherever we go.

They're compilations, they put out so way more records than any of the bands on them. So everywhere we go, the kids know at least two songs. I guess it's the show's how I can pounce on it. It's open with one and close together for the other. But I think a lot of people go to the show. Well, the show's I go to, everyone's singing every word to every song. And they play.

Oh, no, absolutely, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess early days and go on to America and that sort of stuff. I read somewhere, I'm more, more and quote from Jay saying, someone's asked me how they go touring in America. And he's like, it's fun, but it can be hard. And as he's getting older, it's hard to do because they've got quite a few listeners over there, but they're spread out in all these little towns.

He's like, if we could just get a few, then I'm gonna come to one big central show to be a gigabee huge. But we've gotta go around and play all these little shows and stand and it can be pretty draining to 40 dates of small shows over and over. At his age, I guess he's in his 40s now. You can even imagine.

No. As you get so close to your 30s, you're 30 yet? Not yet. Not yet. Close. The service six months, baby. Shut up. It's okay.

It's fine with it. Yeah, it's beginning of the end. It's all good. It's all the up. It's okay. I'm fine with it. Yeah, it's beginning of the end. It's all good. It's all the beginning of the start of the beginning. That is the new 14, so. Oh, you're 14 again. Well, that's a shame, isn't it? Because you're about to be.

I had my braces off by the time I was 14, so yeah. Yeah, I had them on at 11. Okay, you had a shocker. Yeah, that was real bad. Anyway. They had to take a, they took an extra of my hand before doing my braces because that tells them how much more growing I had to do. Oh, really?

Yeah, because if you have braces too early and then you keep growing, it can just mean that they move more than they... Oh, right. I sure think you're a dog and seeing you had a big ball. This is big boy. Oh, that's a little girl. Let me just, let me see, Tate. Did you get a vet dentist?

Yeah, it was Chaper. They said, just get it a nore on this. Fix it right up. Have one of these denta bones. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway, yeah, I'd go back to 14 I have one of these denta bones. LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Anyway, yeah, I'd go back to 14, because I'd have to do with braces. Right. LAUGHTER

And I'd go back to the vet in a heartbeat, because they were very nice. I look at a matrate. Shmacka. After coughing up a storm, the drummer Carl left the band. I'm not sure exactly what the story was, but the secret tracks at the end of the album include some semi-threatening voice messages left for the band by him.

So it seems like it wasn't on good terms. Why don't I- How do you be semi-threatening? I'd never even, I actually never even put together. I'm probably gonna kill ya. I listen to that album a lot when I was younger, and it's sort of a bit passive, I would have to listen to it again,

but I remember towards the end, he's like, call me back, though you probably won't. I was probably like, was gonna like, oh man, that's possibly sad without knowing the story. I like to think that he did something bad, and then we're just being mean. Yeah.

Same threatening police. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I like to think that he did something bad and then we're just being mean. Yeah.

Same threatening police. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I like to think that he did something bad and then we're just being mean. Same threatening police. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I like to think that he did something bad and then we're just being mean.

Same threatening police. Same threatening police. Same threatening police. I'm sorry. Same threatening police. I your car. I don't have to look at it. I'm pretty sure they were like, it was on a rollercoaster. Some of it was like, that's it. You know, if I ever get a hold of you, but then I think when I have to, I'm going on a vague memory. Please.

Just RSV, Peter, my wedding, please. It's very expensive, per head. I just need to know. Please. All right, call me. So they've gone through two dramas pretty quickly. They're follow up album, not so tough now. It included the band's third drummer.

And that Nike Rove, I've realized I've never said that out loud. It's a tricky one. No, I don't know. NYKY-R-UJ. And the album was another step forward in production values with producer Tony Cohen at the helm. Cohen had already produced a bunch of other big name

as the actor for that stage, including Dugu Am Favourite Paul Kelly, Nick Cave and Tism. And the album was the band's first to make the area charts, peaking at number 53, and included the single punch in the face, which was the band's biggest hit up to that point. The album was also released in the US in Japan and the band toured in support of it, burning up a solid following both those places. The secret track on the album had lyrics referencing guitarist Ben Castello, here they are and full get the beep already. To see what he has

done, what has he done? Nothing at all. Ben is a fuck with he's a cunt Ben's a cunt Ben is a fucking silly cunt Ben's a fucking stupid Ben is a fuck with cut Ben is a cunt Ben is a fuck with fuck with after the album's release Ben left the band according to their website at the time he mysteriously disappeared many rumors have circulated about his disappearance but no one really knows where he is that's the official word I think it was all good terms. It was all just a bit of a... So that song wasn't actually... No, I think it was all... He was playing guitar. I think it was just... Oh, a little bit of fun, but it was...

He's playing guitar, bopping along while they're calling him. Well, we'll come into the lyrics after you just played the riff. This is great, guys. Yeah, love it. Actually, actually, I think it was a little bit of a... So that song wasn't actually... No, I think it was all... He was playing guitar, or...

I think it was just... Oh, a little bit of fun, but it was... He's playing guitar, bopping along while they're calling him. Well, we'll come into the lyrics after you decide the rest of you. This is great, guys. Yeah, I love it. Actually, actually, I don't know. We'll let you know.

Yeah, you can actually, you can clock off. Do what? You've done so well today. Why don't you have that through your mouth? Go, just get out of the way. See some, do some activism. You love activism. You love activism. Do it, do it, do it full time.

Yeah. Leave, leave it as a comeback. His replacement was 18 year old Lindsay McDougal, aka the doctor. And apparently the young doctor didn't tell his mum that he was leaving to two with the band. And when he returned, he found that his key no longer opened the front door. Oh, mum.

Mum? Changed the lock. Yes, so this door is referenced on there, 1997, I'll meet the family, which included the single, mum, changed the lock. A bit of a hit. Mum. What? I'm pretty sure Jay gave him the nickname, the doctor as well.

I couldn't find that when resegings seemed to be on the internet, not in a way that I could find it. But I remember hearing the story at some point that Jay said, we're not going to have a band member named Lindsay McDougall. Your name is now Dr. Lindemanns. A weird way to get a nickname. I reckon just call him McDougall or something. McDougall's great. Or Lindsay, it's his name. Yeah, anyway. He still goes, but he doesn't have 20 more. No, but he does. This was around the time I started getting into the band,

this is when this album came out. It was the first one. I borrowed it off a friend. I don't have 30 bucks, whatever they used to cost. And I remember having an assignment where we had to write an animal-related poem for English class. And I handed it instead. I handed it in the lyrics to their song, Gun't kill ducklings, ducklings killed ducklings.

Did you remember that song? Yeah. And the teacher was pretty baffled by it, but you know, it's a poetry. So what do you do? It looks like he's written something there. I don't get it. I've put in the effort. I've written a bunch of words.

Sorry, sorry, I'm making a point. You don't understand, lady. Did you listen to friends or much when you're young? Yes, probably had two, a couple of their albums. Was this one of them or one of them? Yeah, that's one of them. Had that one and who I'm going to go through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know when you hear them probably. The one before that not so tough now is the one with the like a McDonald's that had been. I remember seeing that, yeah.

Did they get in trouble for that? That, oh my God. I don't think there was a lot of trouble for it, but it's sort of like, wow, would you? We're having trouble over the years though for the album, because you're gonna talk about that. Is there something, one of their albums? Well, I've talked about the album

that had a Dick Sandwich of that. Yeah, and the rejection letter on the back. They were banned from Dick Sandwich, was banned from some stores. So I think there's little things, pits and pits like that, but yeah, let us know when you... Because I don't know if I remember anything in particular that was worse than that, than just being banned from some stores or whatever. After the release of the album, the drummer Nat left being replaced by their fourth drummer in six years, Mance Naird, drummer Gordy Forman,

who remains with the band today. So they're in closer to their classic line up now. Well, I guess this is probably one of their classic line ups. They toured in support of the album and had lined the Australian leg of the band Warped Tour as well as going over and performing on the American Warped Tour as well. Sick. In 1999, they released a Man's Not a Camel, which was produced by California and Eddie Ashworth who had previously recorded Sublime's huge self-titled album. Very cool. Yeah, I did that, so we also listened to that album

when we were in Weed Hornet. Oh, yeah. I want to be influenced on Weed Hornet. Oh, being influenced, Tom the singer definitely had a man on the camel. Do you know that saying, well, man's on a camel? So it's like in reference to, do you want to drink it, man?

Yeah, yeah. It's so dumb. Yeah, I know. It's a man, do you want to drink here, mate? Yeah, it's so dumb. Yeah, I know. Do you want one or not? Yes or no? Yeah. You've used so many words to say yes or no. The album hit number 11 on the RHR.

The RHR was the Australian mainstream chart. A new high for the band. Celebrations didn't last long though. As the band announced that to cancel the US tour due to Jay having a heart attack. Oh, what? Okay. Jay's later said that the heart attack

was a bit of an exaggeration, but there was some sort of a heart issue and he had to rest for quarter one. You know, fuck around with heart issues. No. You know? I don't. No. And you should need that.

It's pretty important. I was having like palpitations and my heart would race every now and then I'd just be like lying down or just suddenly race. Do you get that checked out? Yeah, I did. Because I was like, I'm not fucking around it. Even if it's something minor,

if your heart stops, you're done. I'm no doctor. Yes. But I'm pretty sure that's true. You grow another hand, you can grow another leg. Whatever. You can't grow another hand. Go ahead. hand, you can grow another leg. Whatever. You can't grow another. You can't grow another head. Go ahead.

But you can't grow a heart. And some of our bloody politicians up on, going Capitol Hill and proving that. They've tried. They've tried in jars, trying to grow them. But they can't do it. They're not that much money I have. Anyway, I was fine. Oh, that's good.

Does a Saints player who's been on the long-term injury list because he had heart palpitations? I think he got a pacemaker put in. Shit! And then it happened again in the preseason the following year. So he had all of 2019 out now. He's hoping to start up again in 2020. So, Jay's had heart issues.

Yeah. How old is he by this point? When was this? This point is like 90s. So end of 99 and so he would have been in his late 20s I think. Yeah right. That's young. Yeah. That is young. Really even 30 is young you know. Yeah. Even early 30s. Yeah I grow that. Is young. Yeah. He's still young up until you don't feel young anymore, I suppose, really ages just to know it's a construct. It's a construct, really.

Right. That's cancel the US to us. That's right. But the chart success of a man's on a camel caught the attention of major labels. And in 2000, the band signed with Sony, giving the band their biggest payday with the band able to buy a new equipment

and even pay their rent for a couple of years. Whoa. But the band weren't happy with the album, which was called Shot Your Mouth, and it didn't sell particularly well. Jaya has described it as a little more serious in our previous work, adding that after it was released, they realized it's pretty fucking shit. That's funny, guys. I miss that one.

I kind of, I remember, you know when you get to a bit too cool towards Middle to the end of high school. I started listening more metal and less punk and I thought man's on a camel is a bit soft Yeah, that is slower songs. It was whatever so I fell off them during a man's on a camel And I totally miss shut your mouth, which as it turns out is even the bands seem to say is their worst album But I was listening to it today. I listened to that whole back catalog today. That's the beauty of a punk band All their albums are about half an hour long and I reckon it's pretty good. It's no I was expecting it to be really bad, but there's that's got a bunch of Just looking at it now. I'm enjoying that it's like their major label debut and they're like now

It's not really our sound, you know, like what are you sold out track one is called everything's fucked I go just for a minute, 37. Still punk. Everything is fucked though, aye. That's still relatable now. Do you know what I mean? There's like 20 years later, I'm still like, yeah. That song is evergreen.

The album's still childhood in the top 40, but Jaysin said that the major label weren't a good fit for them as they didn't do the leg work or put up the posters and shops or get our CD and bizarre places that we often do a, unlike Shock who are smaller, indie label who did do all of that, as opposed to Sony who just had a bunch of telephone staff sort of call around. So I guess they didn't know the tricks

and it led to them having selling less albums and they did when they're an Independent band which is interesting possibly the album being pretty fucking shit didn't help either But I reckon if yeah, I still feel like if one a different way that album could have sold pretty well But like I said, it's only the top 40 The age reported that quote friends are on left Sony on amicable terms and signed to epitaph records, which is one of the biggest punk labels in the world with bands such as Rancid and Pennywise, for Australia and New Zealand. They remained with fat records in the US and Japan.

In 2002 founding member Lex Feltham left the band. The official is the bass player. It was the one who brought in the slap. It left that as a legacy for those to follow him. The official word from the band was that he was booted after quote, insisting that Franz Rom should incorporate synth and guitar-shaped keyboards into their work. It's obviously probably bullshit, so I think he just, imagine he just went like, on 30 now, I want to, I don't want to be in a punk band anymore.

After holding all additions in Sydney, they recruited 18-year-old Adelaide bass player Tom Creese. The new setup seemed to work well with the... We kept getting all these young members in. It is interesting. It's always young blood, isn't it? Yeah, the doctor and Tom both came in as 18-year-olds. I've read that actually in a in an interview from 10 years back or something, someone asked, I think it was in a tie, they were about to do a tie one, and the interviewer asked the question, how old are you guys? And J was like, oh, we're kind of ranging age a bit. Oh, I'm 30, our youngest member's 18.

So I guess average age of 25. So I'm like, it's like, you guys, keep me young. Yeah. I'll average age of the pot. Yeah. We bring you down. Yeah, yeah, you do What's our average age now like 33? Yeah, what's so sad? Dead is me I

His when Jesus It's actually slightly younger. God you're a fucking killjoy. What is it then because Because where there's two 30 year olds? Yeah, right. 29 year olds. Let me hold on to it. Sorry. I even younger then. Yeah, but Matt is 175. Okay, so that's quite a bit older. Factoring that in and blasting it through the prism.

That's the false lid prism? Oh, the bar. Let me, that's where I did my best calculations. So the band's first album for Epitaph was called San Sushi, which I think we mentioned very late in last week's episode. That's right. Was a return to form debu-ing at number 24 on the Aria charts and featuring songs such as Russell Crowe's bands, a fucking pile of shit, fucking wrong and world's fucked as c- a fucking pile of shit, fucking pong and world's fuck does come. In 2003, single Jay Wally was at a protest rally against

Manitory detention for assault, so he goes in Sydney. When he got caught up in a ruckus and was arrested, but they got lucky, or he got lucky, as a coordinator Jay. We got arrested, but it turns out the cops were fans. The cops were saying, Jay, really liking new stuff. It's really cool. As we were leaving, they were saying, Jay, you should write a song about this. It's funny because they're out there. The Sansa is just a song on it called. Big Cop.

And it's very anti-polish. The anti-cop. Is this that? Yeah. Yeah, remember my sister's drunk friend? Well, you know, he was a drunk once. No, no, he's the drunk friend. Big fan of punk music and he was being fined for drinking in public and he started singing this lyricist who'd be a cop. It's pretty, it's very anti-police as fun as it is.

The cops are like, I guess they're fans. I see the comedy in it, I guess. In 2004, the band played the bass and the grass festival in Darwin. Radio presenter, Jocchio from the car and Jocchio showed, you know the story, was set to MC the day, but she arrived nine hours late. As the band were about to take the stage, they were told the show was running overtime, they would have to cut a few songs out cut their set short and then as I were about to go on Jackie

I've only rocked up and and go straight out to talk to the crowd and In response, they were just sort of sitting in the wings with their gear ready to go out Lindsay the doctor started playing a riff from ACDC's Nundestruck drowning out of voice. So very funny. Which upset Jackie O's, you left the stage, then they played their set, but they sort of went out going, fuck pop stars, fuck pop, which was the show she was presenting on at the time, and they were

talking about how shows like Australian Idol and pop stars, which are like American Idol. They probably don't need translating for that pop idol in England. Hearding the Australian music industry, so record labels can make a quick buck, basically saying that at the time they'd take the winner of Australian Idol and the five runners up and then but also drop other acts. So drop established acts to get them on seller bunch of records and then drop these reality show contestants as well. On the next episode of the Kyle and Jackie O show, this interview is on YouTube which will

be linked in the show notes. They phone Jay on air to confront him about the incident and told him that friends around would not be played on the old stereo network anymore to which Jay responded. The thing is Kyle, have you ever played us on the Ulsterro network anymore to which Jay responded. The thing is, Kyle, have you ever played us on the Ulsterro network before? And they're like, yeah, I'm triple-am I think, but it was about a 10 minute thing and it's a bit up and down. I remember listening to it at the time and thinking like, gee, Jay was all over that. Now it's sort of like, oh, there is something a bit weird, I don't know. But, Rucker, I haven't heard it in so many years, but yeah, I remember when YouTube first started,

you hear that. And he's like, and Carl is famously sanctimonious. And he's, he was so contradictory as well, Carl and he sort of, at one point, he's like, you will never play on the station again. He's like, you never did. And he's like, oh, we could. And then he's gone, mate, if you've just got to get

the right, I've never, no one's ever put your music in front of me. Well, you know if you've just got to get the right pair I've never known's ever put your music in front of me Well, I've you know if you just got to get the right music in front of the right people and then he's going Your music shit mate. I'm never we're not plus one. I was playing it. It was like oh man You sort of in such as weird cyclotus. It makes sense. Are we putting music in front of Kyle? Is he the one to to ask I thought he was doing trial by Kyle. Yes. He's doing a dirty, duty style show. Yeah, that's a, that's, it was trial and error.

He's doing a just duty style show. But back then, he was doing trial by Kyle and it was trying demos for new CDs. The 10 minute combo ended with some bickering before Kyle hung up on Jay and then said man what a cock. I mean out of context, does sound a bit like he's complimenting. Man, what a cock. I think it was awesome.

It's all that tone. Wow man, what a cock. I should say during a Jackie O. Did she made it pretty clear? She was like, it was pretty upsetting to her. She was like, I think she felt a bit bleeped by it or whatever. Yeah. And J did sort of apologize for that. But yeah, it was a weird, and it ended up just like ramping up at the end with us sort of just talking over each other. Why was she nine hours late?

I'm not sure if it was a flight or what, but it sort of feels like it's just fun to get. Just like nine hours. I'm not coming now. Yeah. And not when you get there, sort of feels like just fun and I look, I'm not coming now. And not when you get there, sort of jump out in front of another band. Yeah. You can sort of understand why they'd be annoyed.

But that was, yeah, I can also understand why it would be really distressing for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And did anyone go to this music vessel to hear her? Yeah, why the fuck? I don't know. I think, well, that's what Jay was sort of explaining the interview as well.

He's like, just before she went out, there was another person talking, and it was like the basically, what do you call the territories premiere? It's like the head minister or something. Yeah, right. And they were just getting yelled at by the crowd. And then it was sort of going the same way.

They were like, just get to the fucking music. Yeah, yeah. That's what you got to a music festival for, funnily enough, for the music. So it was, it was kinda like, you know. I wanted to see Jackie O. Jackie O festival the music. So it was kind of like, and you're... I wanted to see Jackie O. Jackie O festival, now that's my kind of festival.

The funny thing was the Kyle Thread of, apparently they also called up their record label before this interview and said, you're finished in this industry, you're dead in this town, and that sort of stuff. And one of Jackie O's security guards, Thread and violence, he against friends around on the day. And Jay's like, did you know all about that Jackie?

And she's like, yeah, I did, but and then I didn't really, I was interested to hear where that was gonna go. Because he goes, do you think that's good behavior or something? And she's like, yeah, but, and then it sort of doesn't get too exciting. So it's like a real, I'd love to know like the whole story because it's really just this clip.

I love to know why Kyle thinks that he has the power to call a record label, you're done, because I'm Kyle. Yeah. Fuck off, no one cares. They did, uh, Osterio executives later said, uh, that's not really his role, we have a, um, we got the music team who, who, who do pick the songs, and that's been made his role. We have a music team who do pick the songs, and that's been made clear to Kyle. Do you think he was like,

he goes to the McDonald's drive, so he's like, he didn't put a pickle in my burger. You're dead. You're never making another burger in this world, big Donalds. He's incredible. Media. Speaking of made clear to him, that's not his role.

He brought him in for an interview and had to go through his contract. Now, no way here in the drop-in description, doesn't mention you making or breaking record labels, for example. Just want to clarify, that's not in your wheelhouse. You don't think you do that, do you? Media watch on ABC TV later that week featured the interview, or clips from it with host David Marsang, Carl and Jacquillo are part of a new generation of radio thugs. Love media.

What? Probably, I've seen love media watch. In a strange twist of fate, Jane the Doctor got the gig of hosting Triple J's Breakfast Show the following year, making them direct competitors and carers. You're done in this town. What? Shit. I thought I'd heard that name before. So the situation was made strange as still by the fact that friends were on one point

banned from Triple J. Apparently they've been played on there. I don't know if that's actually true or not, but apparently that is believed that they were banned. They've been having all that often on Triple J. I think it was they were giving Triple J shit, but that doesn't feel like I think Triple J would. And especially when, unless there was a huge turnover and decision makers there, that they would end up in the plumb on here, posting jobs. So yeah, I feel like I don't know about that, but their show included sort of as just a bit of fun basically. And it included one second, I remember quite well,

it was called the Friday fuck quit, where listeners would call in and nominate who should get the title of the Friday fuck quit. And after every nomination, that'd be the same thing we play Friday fuck quit. It was a bleep-pover-fuck, very fun. Uh, remember that, actually. This episode is brought to you by Progressive.

In 2006, the band released their seventh studio LP, titled Forever Malcolm Young, which was in reference to ACDC's Rhythm Guitarist, Malcolm Young. Yeah. The album was funded with money Jay wanted

in a South African casino. LAUGHTER Of course. What do you mean? I only just learnt this week. This is fascinating. J.A.R.E. counts a story in an interview saying, there's just some random fluky win from $1 on a black Jack table, playing like a promotional square they were having, where if you got three seven of diamonds,

you got the jackpot. So yeah, I got this at like 10 o'clock in the morning at some random casino in Durban or somewhere. I won something like 197,000 random, three seven of diamonds, you got the jackpot. So yeah, I got this at like 10 o'clock in the morning at some random casino in Durban or somewhere. I won something like 197,000 Rand, which is like 40 grand Australian. I'm a buck, that's awesome.

That's so good. Hey guys, and yeah, came back and went, ah, what do I do with that? So we did that record. What a way to fund it. That's so great. The album featured, this was the album that got me back in with him and then I went back to San Sushi and,

and I reckon since then, just gone from strengths to strengths. This one featured tracks like Johnny Ramone was in a fucking good band, but he was a cunt, Ren Wynne and UltraBoys and I'm a backwards, fucking useless piece of dog shit and I vote. The album debuted at number 34 on the R.A. chance. When asked about those who get offended by their use of language, J responded,

I often get amazed how people often get offended by language, especially in Australia when it's nothing you wouldn't hear at your local office or school yard. Throughout this time, Jain, the doctor was still hosting the Breakfast Show on Trouble J. From 2007, they were also joined by Myth Warhurst. It is a funny thing about language. Like I reckon you're hearing Fs and Cs. I don't know why, I'm sensing myself after saying both of them a lot today, but you hear them all over the place.

I don't know. Well, maybe it's because like if you're standing with your friend and your friend's two small children, you automatically sense yourself. Without even realizing it, you're not dropping Fs and Cs. So. Well, you shouldn't.

You probably shouldn't. You do and apologize. Oh, sorry. Sorry, a little. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. Every time.

Oh, man, it was. So you don't know who's listening. I'm crying. You don't know who's in the car on radio. Right, yeah, that's true. And there's also a broadcast code, so you just not used to it. So when the show goes out at seven o'clock,

and then all that, say stuff. So if you do hear it, you go, ooh, don't really, don't usually hear that about this time. But that's fair for radio, but we're talking about his albums. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's weird for people to be offended. On Tripoday, you'd normally just do a language warning at the top. But we want a few that will play songs not censored.

Yeah. We're not allowed to say F. We can say other words, but yeah, you have to issue a language warning, but we still get tech sometimes of who we're like, I've got children in the car. How can you play this? It's like, why turn it down or change it?

Yeah. It's not on us to know who's in the car. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. Yeah, and you must know this is just what in the car. Yeah, yeah. Anyway. Yeah, and you must know this is just what this station does. Yeah, go listen to something shit then. Put on Smooth FM. Yeah, if you want Michael Booblay.

That's a smooth. So there's a radio station in Australia called Smooth FM and it's not up to this for the listeners. It look like I was telling you about it. You've just brought it up. But they play smooth songs and classic hits. And their hosts, I'm guessing they just record it all in a day. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Smash it out. And just smash it out. All these four of them. I've been out seeing so many. Jack, one of my favorites. Who was it?

I think it was Australian actor Andrew Dato. One of the Datoes. I might have mentioned this before. Maybe Cameron Dato. Maybe Cameron Dato. I think it's Cameron Dado. And he goes, hmm, maybe, what are you up to at the moment before I play this next track? Maybe you want to slide into the bath, open a nice bottle of red. So creepy. Don't tell people to get into the bath. Also, most commercial stations are a lot of it's pre-recorded. Yeah. Like all the weekend shows on, not all, but a lot of the weekend shows on, like, commercial

at all done on a Friday. Normally can tell, Eric. They just what, that's just to save money from turning on the lights on the weekend. Yeah, that's maybe what's to work on the weekend. Yeah. Yeah, smart. Yeah.

But I'm going to work after this. I'm going to work at 1 a.m. Yeah, definitely does not need to be done live. Now, you could definitely put a tape on. Just play some music. I don't have to be there, but I'm going. I think that's actually how Jane the Doctor saw. They did some overnights.

I remember one time, we were sitting in the middle of the night. Must have been one of their first times and they played a panteros. I think it was five minutes alone. And I think they were making fun of it, but I don't know if I got the irony to a later, but they go, still sounds as fresh as it did back then.

Or maybe they were doing it back then sounds as fresh as it did back then. Well, maybe they were. Maybe they were in January, they loved it. They loved it. Jay announced he was quitting radio to travel at the end of the year, that's a 2007, but the doctor continued on in the role, now joined by Robbie Buck and Marie Cardi, as, what was that?

I don't know what that was, Robbie Marie can the doctor, I think. Yep. Where did I get their ideas? In 2010, that was a really good show. I really enjoyed all the shows. In 2010, did I say initially they took, Jane the doctor took over from Adam and Will,

which is one of the iconic breakfast shows. All great shows, what great memories. In 2010, Tom Ballad and Alex Darson took over the breakfast shift and their doctor started hosting the afternoon show, Solar. In 20. Much better hours. Yeah. In 2010, Tom Ballad and Alex Darson took over the breakfast shift and the doctor started hosting the afternoon show solo. In 20. Much better hours. Yeah.

Much better alarm time. And it's like a more chilled out show as well, right? It's a little bit more relaxed. In the morning, it seems to be the show's after be like, we're on. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew. Pew, pew. Pew, pew.

Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. You're also getting up at like 4.30 in the morning. That's no good. That's no good. Drive show, you're up at like 10. Love that. Done at 6, that you go. Fantastic. It's a dream.

It's a perfect hours. Perfect hours. In 2010, I don't know why I'd probably talk too much about the radio days, but anyway, I thought that'd be interesting to at least Jess. And it was. In 2010, friends will play a festival with a line up including Megadeth, Descendants, No Effects, Goir and Dropkick Murphy, something that's called the

No Sleep till Festival. I couldn't find this confirmed anywhere, but I remember there being a story that this was Descendants first time, they'd toured in a strafe of ages, and they were going to have to cut their set a little bit short because of the local council care few. And I believe that the bands all chipped in and said we'll pay the fine so that they can keep playing. But I couldn't find that confirmed anyway, but I'm pretty sure that's a true thing.

So friends and no effects and others chipped in, must have been a few grand. Yeah, be a bit. The following year, they released Smoke by the pet food factory, which was recorded in Colorado by Descendant's drummer Bill Stevenson. For me, this continued the run of every album, release being better than the last one since San Sushi. I reckon that just one of those bands, I was at the point of like, oh, like your older stuff when I was too cool in high school.

And now I'm like, actually, they're getting better with every album. The sound is getting bigger and the songs are catching and faster and more fun. You don't think they're peaked with Dick's sandwich? I don't think they did. Although that is maybe the best album title. And it's very good. Could you just put your dick in, bread? Yeah. Why are we severing these dicks? Just put your dick in, bread. Yeah. are we severing these dicks? Just put your dick in bread. Yeah. Nice fresh piece of bread might feel nice too.

Oh, I'll have a light fry. I'll have a light fry. I'll get a crusty Vienna. I was thinking like just a tip top white. So it would just look like a sausage in bread. Oh. I was thinking that you like hollow out a colo. It's all a colo.

It's all a colo have to do whatever you want. It's your dick. Just place it on there. You want a dick at your low. You do whatever you want to do. But if I had a dick, I'd be putting it in a piece of bread like a little sausage. Yeah. If I had a dick.

Jess, come on. Yeah. Big sausage. Thank you. If you're going to get one. Get a big one. Yeah, you're right The album reached number 14 on the hour of charts and featured tracks when my baby smiles I may go to rehab Knuckleheads and mommy doesn't know you're an artsy and

Jakes playing the story behind that last one. It was a base on a real story This is J speaking now. That was when punk band propaganda were, uh, we're, uh, propaganda, propaganda. I thought I fucked it up. This is when punk band propaganda were touring a couple of years ago. They had quite a lot of interest from some neo-Nazi websites with basically all these tools sitting online, writing all this hateful shit. So our manager was promoting the tour and he was telling us about how the police were aware of some of these websites and that they have some pretty genuine bad dudes involved with them who were pretty violent guys. So they

take the threat seriously. Anyway, they'd been following this one guy and they'd been tracking his computer use. And the police ended up going around his house just before the propaganda. propaganda. Before the propaganda tour. And when they got there, they realized he was a 16 year old kid. And his mom actually had no idea that he was a Nazi. Can you imagine? So yeah, I thought that was a pretty good idea for a song.

And so, so with the Nazis anti-propagandia, they were a fan. Anti-propagandia. We're all just going to say, because they're very political progressive kind of band. It would be so fun to be a cop. Yeah, like you're thinking you're gonna get this guy. Yeah, the squad team is ready to go on the ground on the ground. Oh, no, no, no, holy shit. And his mums get in here Kevin.

Yeah, I'm gonna say Kevin as well. What have you been up to? Kevin! Kevin, I've burnt them muffins. Hey, man! Kevin, please. Nazi isn't... Really?

Kevin, have you got your homework done at least first? Wild. No, mind-camp before dinner. Couldn't you just play video games like the other boys? In 2013, the band were gearing up for a national tour with descendants, bodygir on the bouncing souls, which I had tickets to. When they announced, they had to cancel,

due to quote, sudden and unexpected illness. As it turns out, Jay suffered from two seizures out of the blue. It was believed he had a brain tumor. A little while later, Jay posted on the band's Facebook page, explaining this, this is one of the stories where I'm like, oh, this is going to be told on a do-go-on episode. So it's lengthy. He describes it as a bit of a doozy. Anyway, I'll let Jay take

it from here. On the 25th of Jan, I was loading a base cabinet into my car at the pet food factory for the Chinese Burns unit gig that night. When I started a loose vision and feel pretty strange. I thought I probably shouldn't drive right now, so I went inside and tried to buy water. I was looking at the coins in my hand and realized I had no idea what they were and what they were for. Luckily my friend Davis from front-end loader was there, and after a brief moment of thinking I was on drugs, I should be down a corridor where I proceeded to have the first of two seizures.

This has never happened before, and I'm so grateful Davis was there with a cool head to see me through it and call an ambulance. The next thing I remember was waking up in hospital with an incredibly painful back and neck, and my family all around trying to smile through stress expressions. I also have a vague memory of Lindsay McDougal

by my bed laughing at how he'd seen me in the nude. What a good friend. The actual doctor came and told me I'd had two seizures. They'd scan my brain and found a small tumor about one centimeter in diameter, the nature of which he wouldn't know until they operated, removed it and sent it for biopsy. Worst case would be a malignate malanoma, the best would be a benign tumor for an infection of some kind. I didn't feel a lot of positivity from the neurosurgery team. The LSD we're going to be

able to do the op was February 14th, so... A couple weeks later. Yeah. What followed was a grim three weeks waiting for the operation trying to think, trying to not think the worst. My beautiful wife, family and friends that knew were amazing during this time, cooking food, looking after our three-year-old, sending super positive messages and phone calls, and generally trying to lift me out of what I reckon was the bleakest time of my life. Gordy Forman, the drama, visit boosted my spirits regardless of his real motive to check which of the pills I'd been prescribed. He could use recreation. That was several. What do you got? Anyway, buddy, you feeling good? What do you have?

What do you have? How did you get your name? You get it for you? Any spezel. Sean, how did interest, can I get you, do you name me again, people you? Any spears or? Yeah. Valentine's Day brain surgery sounds like a Ramones song. They gave me general anesthetic and cut a 10 centimeter rectangle at the back of my,

back left of my skull, which took out the offending alien and put the skull piece back. It was over in about three hours. That's a wall taken skull out and replaced the skull. Two hours later I was in intensive care when the head of the neuro team came in and said, good news, looks like it was some kind of infection. Holy shit, the relief I was feeling was overwhelming. Not just for me, but for my family as well. I felt like a good breathe for the first time in weeks. No cancer, or as gaudy put it, happy Valentine's Day, you tumeless fuck.

That where are the pills? You don't need them now. So what the hell was it? How did I get an infection in my brain? I was tested for all sorts of things over a couple of days until finally they got some results back from the lab. Here's an approximation of the conversation. Have you been a central AmeriCorps in the last few years? Asked the doctor from the lab. Here's an approximation of the conversation. Have you been a central America in the last few years? Ask the doctor from the infectious

diseases department? Sure, we think it could be a parasite. Again, is this somehow related to Pico, the bot fly larvae, or I picked up in the same region? Chh, there's another story. No, this is specifically neurosis. Basically, the egg from a pig tapeworm. A pig? I'm fucking vegetarian. How do I get the egg from a fucking pigworm in my brain? They then very calmly explain to me the life cycle of this thing is a bit gross.

This is my understanding, skip forward, if you don't like gross stuff. This is my understanding of it. So the tapeworm eggs live in pig flesh, most common in Central America, but found in loads of other countries too. The pig is killed and the meat undercooked and eaten by old mate. Old mate grows a tapeworm in his intestine, which eventually produces eggs. Old mate goes to El Bano.

It doesn't or the porcelain. Porcelain prison. Doesn't wash his hands properly. It doesn't or the the porcelain porcelain prison Doesn't wash his hands properly then busy himself if I said El Banner, I don't want to get any Your yeah, that's right. I couldn't get propaganda right though. I said a wrong again I said right. That was right. All right So he doesn't wash his hands properly, then business himself cooking my vegetarian burrito, gross. Once in my stomach, they never become tape worms,

but they migrate into the muscle. Most of the time causing no problem, and you'll never know it's there. The only place they'll have problems is if they make it to your brain or eyes. Once in the brain, the body reacts by sealing it in an account of cocoon or cyst. Oh, wow.

Quite happily lived for four fucking years. It's only when it dies that the body has some kind of inflammatory response, resulting in swelling, which in turn led to seizures. I'm out of hospital now, finally after an extended stage, due to picking up two separate infectious post-operation, two separate infections, post-operation. Bloody hell. Headache's favors and the likes.

But I know it may. If it wasn't for the fear of death and the horrific pain, I've actually been living close to my dream lifestyle, lying down, watching movies and bathing in opiates. I don't feel like I've retained any deficits from the brain surgery, but I guess only time will tell. Perhaps the slice will be taking out of my golf swing. You learn. My friend, Klam thinks I'll become racist. Sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry about the

descendant shows. I'm sure I was more bummed than anyone that I was silly enough to buy tickets because we were on the bill. I heard it was great. I'm having, it was great. I still went along. I was like, that would probably be the band I was looking forward to the most on the line up, but the other three bands are sick anyway. I feel like there was someone replace them, but I can't remember who was. I'm having a taco. Don't mention tacos, Tim. That's what got him in this pig. Oh, yeah, isn't that gross. I just want to wait to find that out and be like, oh for four years that has been there. Yeah, it's been there the whole time. And you would think, oh I'm not, I don't know it meets. I'm not going to cop any of these. Yeah, he has two parasite

stories. So I'm having a hard time putting into words the depth of gratitude I have for the love I felt for my amazing wife, my family, this band of my friends. So that'll have to do in this form. I'll get ammo with you over a beer real soon. Love shit for brains. It's got a beautiful, still my last sort of heartfelt message, but a real fuck story. A awful story. Oh my God. That is full on. Yeah. I don't know. And then infections post-op as well. Like, oh, mate, let it be over. Yeah.

Let me go home. That does feel unfair. Yeah, totally. Share the infections around, can't you? But how, I mean, it's gross, but it's good that it wasn't a tumor. Yeah, yeah, totally. They could take it out. You know what the best case scenario is?

And I believe, like, this is a couple years later now, I believe he hasn't, as far as I know, he hasn't felt any long-term brain effects from the circuit. The run of weird luck for the band continued when Atta Show in 2015, Droma Gordy Foreman came to the front of the stage saying, pretty sure if you're on a stage to have it simple, he then dived in the crowd. Um, he then dived in the crowd. On the video, like I've seen in some video, he, he, then instructor the crowd. He is, he is the one, two, three dives stand up here, then he walked away from the mic as one, two, three, and he dived in the crowd.

Um, before getting thrown back towards a stage, landing upside down on the barrier. Oh, in a video, the incident, you can hear the bass player Tom go, don't break his arm, please, he needs that. And singer J says, oh, that's no good. Oh, no, he's broken his arm. And then they're carrying him off in the video. It's, it's very simple. This is all you got to do. And then go, oh my god, oh fuck. The band later released the statement saying, you gotta admit, we're pretty great at irony. A dude in the crowd at his 22nd friends or arm show tried to stage dive and he sucks. So Gordy being the benevolent soul he is, got up from behind his drum kit to show the young

gent how it's done. Unfortunately a combination of an enthusiastic crowd, a selfless drummer and an unforgiving crowd barrier, and the gaudy's humorous landed in two pieces, snapped in half like a drumstick. Oh! So he was out of action, mid tour as well. Is that a delay a few shows and get a reply from a drummer? Oh, you'd feel like an idiot.

And there's a mid, not only mid-tool, but mid-show. So they finish the show as a three-piece, Tom the bass player ended up playing drums, Jay sang and played bass, and they sort of just got through the show. But yeah, you're the fuck. You'd feel like such an idiot. You'd be so embarrassed.

Which is why I never stage-dive at our shows. I know how to, obviously. Yeah, it's pretty simple. It's very simple. Yeah, I'll show you. I'll show you. You guys stand over there. Two of you can catch me, surely.

A few months later, he was good to go again though. So he recalculated, he still jumps for them. And he still jumps for Monser. So are you familiar with Monser? Yeah, much heavier. heavier, you know, like real cool melt. They're Melbourne bands. He's a Melbourne guy.

They kind of spread around Australia a bit. Started as a Sydney band for a long time. They had the bass player Adelaide drummer in Melbourne. And then the other two in Sydney. The album released that he was talking about, that was album number nine, was 2017's high, Viz Hite, which is their most recent album. Six-year gap, so each album of LAD has been a little bit slower to come out than the one before. It was recorded again by Bill Stevenson of the Descendants in Colorado.

Colorado. It featured tracks including Connect and of course Pigworm. Of course. When asked in an interview, how did Bill feel about the song Connect? When Americans seem to find that word more harsh than Australians do, which we're aware here at Duguon, Jay replied, he's been to Australia quite a bit so he gets the common vernacular of Australians. He's actually said he wanted to write the descendant's version of the song, which would

be called Dick Move, which is basically the American equivalent of Kahnak. Dick Move. Bit of a dick move. I don't feel like that is it? You know how offensive that is here? I mean we also say dick move. Do we? That's a dick move.

Yeah. That sounds a bit. I can only hear it in American accent now in my brain. That's a dick move mate. Do we sound? Yeah. A bit of a guy. Oh sorry, younger people do you? brain. That's a dick move, mate. Did we say it? Yeah. Oh, sorry, younger people do you? Oh.

Yeah, people in there 20, so yeah. Do you say connect? No. Yeah, right. It's an old person saying it. I don't say that word. It's very offensive. Act.

Yeah, I would say it. Dog act. Oh, how dare you. Sorry about that. That's copyright. You can't say that anywhere other than Triple J. Triple J. Don't.

Hopefully my music isn't going to get banned from the station. It definitely is. Do you have that power? I have that power in that I will tweet at Richard King's Mill. Am I finished in this town? Is that in your country? Just so you know, we have other people that do that. There is a music team.

Just, no, no, it's me. I'm actually having other people who finish careers at the station. Still funny they had to explain to Kyle. Not your old. Yeah, you can't tell a record label that they won't work in this country again. Who the fuck do you think you are? I hate him so much. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, it's fun. My head as well, he's sticking up for his mate, right? That's why he's... Sure. But it is, he's gone about in a weird way, but you can sort of understand, yeah, I don't know, whatever. But I'm just non-confrontational as well. So I wouldn't call him live on air.

Yeah. And be like, eh eh eh eh. It's a fuck off. After all, I mean, he called the record label off here and then called it Jay Onere. It felt like at the time, because Jay, for the most part, stayed pretty calm

and he, I think he came off a bit better. Like, you know, when those arguments were one of them gets a bit more heated. He didn't do that as much. But I remember at the time, he was like, it's weird that they even put that out. Yeah. That didn't go as well as they were hoping it was.

It's time. I think on the YouTube one that's uploaded with the most views of something like J from Fensal Owens call Sandalans or something. It was 2003. Pippa used to say Owens or you wouldn't understand that. No, I was far too young. Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, Jury, J new base part or I just sort of was a feeling base player and then I realized later so. Is this still slapping that thing? Oh, I should just quite a little more quietly. Because I was similar to Brian Johnson from ACDC.

He had the quick cause of long term hearing damage as well. And I think it's doctor say, you keep playing in this loud rock band, you're going to lose it completely and they're like, oh, I like hearing. So yeah, tough call, but makes sense. Do you rejoin as it is? Are there still two or now though? I think I do, don't know,

Axel Rose, I think it's full time singing now. Is it? Oh. Pretty sure. So Tom was placed by Michael Dallinger, who was formerly of Newcastle punk band Local Resident Failure, which is a band that was named after a friend of Ram band, local resident failure, which was a band

that was named after a friend of Ram Song. Which is kind of nice. Oh, that's nice. Right, and how old was he 18? He looked like he was probably 30ish. Okay, people are age appropriate. Age appropriate. Decaprio style, a bit young mate.

For a bass player in your band. Well, I always thought they must have just joked about this because that guy was only 18. I always thought that they, when the other guy left, that they got a 15-year-old in the band for a while. Maybe it wasn't. Was he 16? Maybe it was, yeah.

I mean, they just joked about that. Yeah. Because I'm obviously learning it from the world. Because they're much, but yeah, I was always like, oh, I'm assuming a teenager, you get to be in friends with Ron. So, I'm only thinking about it as having be in friends with Ron. It's cool. I'm only thinking about it as like having to hang out

with a teenager all the time. And like if you're 18, 19 listening to this, I'm sure you're awesome, but trust me, you don't want to hang out with me. And I probably don't want to hang out with you. We have different activities we want to do. We have different interests at, you know? So if you're touring with someone who's like 10 years your junior

I don't know do you know fight that I'd be like would you go would you I don't know I'm just gonna No, no, I think yeah, I think that probably makes that probably depends on the person totally I'm centuries older than you And I still to around with you. Yeah, we've tried to make you start Wait, is this was that a subtle... Leave us alone, old man. Hey, gang. It's what he David O'Connor. What about you today? That's what David O'Connor always does.

Shocker activity. Shockers? Should we go on own someone? I sometimes write own like Pone or the Peek. Because I think that's, you know, you guys. Guys. I'm coming towards the end. I'll finish with this kind of an asked story, Jay told

about how they got invited to play the Montabello rock fest in Montreal a couple of years ago. That was there and they weren't really sure why they're invited necessarily. They hadn't been in Canada for a while. This is Jay again. He says, how it happened was that there were these two Mexican kids who were driving their car in the south of Mexico on their way to the beach And they picked up a hitchhiker and When they picked up the hitchhiker though listening to smoke or at the pet food factory in their car And they told the hitchhiker. Oh, this is our favorite Australian band They're never gonna come to Mexico though, so we're never gonna get the same. I was sort of bummed out about it

So the guy they picked up said, oh, I run this vessel in Canada, and it's the biggest vessel in the whole country. And I'm going to pay for that band to fly to my vessel, and I'm going to pay for you two guys to come up to Montreal to see your favorite band. And so we met these guys when we were back to pay at the festival in Montreal. And I was, wow, what a wild story.

Isn't that nice? I just looked at David's mouth was a game that dude was hitchhiking. Oh yeah I ran a very very successful festival I look at Elias for defying him to Canada. Um you go on that way. I will not pay for a taxi or a bus. Oh wow. Yeah somebody lives the, lives the free and easy lifestyle, but love that and then obviously yeah They play the festival hope that a few other people They were footage of them playing and that was I watched that video earlier today And that was one of the go this was on a fat records compilation and the crowd definitely knew the song very well

There were a lot of crowd members singing along so and that was an early song That was something of coughing up the storm as well. So it was like a 20, 23 year old song at that point, or at least 20 years old. So the bands I was a quarter of a century old now, they did a big tour a couple of years ago where they let the audience choose the songs on an online pole, sort of fun.

I just got so many songs and they just really fun to see a lot. That's what I keep going back to see them. I saw them a few years ago and the night before I tweeted it, the doctor I said, hey, any chance you can play lead poison gene or red wine and ultra voice? Because it's one of my favorite tracks of theirs. And he replied the next day, he said, oh, sir, I miss it.

He'd come to the show tonight, I'll play him then. But I wasn't, unfortunately, wasn't going to the... I'd try to show whatever. But yeah, what a legend. It's not the same like a cool guy. I did read as well, maybe just wrapping up, you know how I said, when Jay told his dad about

his changing direction, that you'd never see him more disappointed here. apparently now his his dad really supports what he's done after 25 years his dad now has a tattoo of a dick sandwich yeah so that's my boy and that is the end of my report well done Maddie it was cool I was glad that that was suggested as a topic because I do love them. And I'd probably, I never would have thought to have done them for some reason, just because I don't know why I just thought it feels like it may be an in thing, but the way the Michael made us explain to me is like, they had a bunch of interesting things

happen to them. Like the Jackie O'Connor first, he liked the pigworm, Gordy breaking. So, you know, there were bits and pieces that were interesting along the way, in the Triple J stuff. So hopefully that was interesting for people who haven't heard of them. If you are into sort of catchy fun punk music, fast fun, punk music, definitely look them up, they're all on Spotify and whatnot. And yeah, you could start at any, but I'd start it more recently. Well, maybe San Su, she's a good, starting point.

It's sort of at the last show, so I'm like, I think he even said this was like, this album was at Rebirth. After the, you know, the major label, Weirdness, where they went, sold out with the song, everything's fucked. So that's... Well that brings us to everyone's favorite section of the show, which is of course the fact quote or question section. I just realized this is episode 22. 22. Ideally we would have done a report on Richie Benno.

22. 22. It's not a good, but I was a... Damn it. I just assumed I could do it. It feels like the easiest, the most impersonatable person there is, but... But you fucked it somehow. Two for twenty two.

Oh, it makes it really worse. Dave, can you do it? Uh, two for two, two, two. It's not better. I'm not doing it, I can't do it. Choo, for treat. It's not a bit, why is he saying Choo, stop. I hate it.

Everyone knows which you better. We need to do it. No, quickly do your Bill R.A. impression. Oh, fuck off. He's gone now, fuck off. That's the 12th man's Bill R.A. Let me just, what if someone, he saw someone wearing some,

something on their legs, they might wear like trousers and their brands not added ask for the similar. Oh, I should get them a Puma pants. There it is, there it is, I want to decide. Puma pants, very good stuff. Now, Tony Greg's, like, let's do fragments of the 12th man, Alps. Well, the one I always get run through my head is Tony Gregg.

Someone talks about holding a grudge. And Tony Gregg's like, grudge. To me, a grudge is just a place you park your car. LAUGHTER That is funny. That is funny. That's funny stuff. That is funny. That's funny stuff. Okay, so it's time for fact-corder question. This is where a Patreon supporter on the, anyone can do this if you support us at patreon.com slash 2 go on on the Sydney Shamburg Delax Memorial Package level, VIP,

RIP, and you can give us a fact-c of question. You also get to give us a title for yourself this week. We have got with the title of GAMEY GAMEY Keeper. It's Gary J. From the UK. Gary J. And I'm Gary J. From the UK. We saw him again not too long ago, December. Yeah, he did. And he's given us a fact.

Thank you so much, Gary Gary and the fact is he also came to my stand-up show and learn what a guy Gary one of my favorites he says docks penises grow and shrink with the seasons four seasons and then condoms and he said in brackets And he said in brackets. All right. High five. We do it. Okay.

You asked for it. You're reluctantly high five me. All right. All right. He said in brackets, I'm trying to keep my fact short and sweet, just like Dave. Well, I only cause it's winter. You get sweeter in the winter. Oh, thank you. You get sweeter in the winter. What is it in the summer?

Long and sour. Long and sour. Spring? Yeah. Spring? Yeah. Salty. Salty.

Salty and white and salty. White and salty, like a, I don't know. And obviously in the autumn it's narrow. Woody. Woody. Oh, okay. Oh, it's nutty and woody. On the back palette.

Thank you so much, Gary G. And give me himself the title of Professor of Crastination. It's Drew Falsberg. Drew E. And he's offered a quote. Love a quote? This is rare, which I appreciate him. And the quote is full-coch.

Oh boy. He's doing it in English. So I've got a quick translator in. To do Google Translate. Okay, okay, yes, okay, sure. Full-coch shot from Therias. He's really showing us what a man with a cannon is just can do.

That's my of Albert from Futurama, great quote. Well, it's something for everyone there. Yeah. I like full court personally. Makes me give a food court. Oh, I love food court. Snack, so many options. You can all get different foods.

You can also get trauma fans. Yeah, I like it. So I cannot play that quiet, can you? I'm putting it together in my mind. They're watching a basketball game. There's a man with a cannon in his chest. Maybe it's probably, maybe like a future version of the home globe troubles or something.

Yeah, you're jumping to a lot of conclusions. I'm, and I respect that. Thank you so much. But I love seeing every episode, a couple of times, I've been thinking about, I want to go back and watch it again, because I'm losing memory, which has been fun, because I've watched a few things recently as if it was for the first time. So a movie recently, I just don't remember any of it. It was great fun.

What was it? Funnily enough, cannot remember. It was not long ago. Have you enjoyed it? I remember last week thinking, I don't recall any of this. I'm going along with the twists and turns. What was it? Now what was it? Can't remember.

Total record? Fuck. Oh no, it was um. That's so good. I got a rubbish shit. He didn't get it, but that was good. It was a midnight run. Oh, yeah. Which was recommended on Twitter or somewhere by Tony Martin. He said it's the movie that he would recommend to anyone. If you didn't know anything about your taste, you'd recommend midnight run, and it's great. I bought her on DVD, and then I watched it

over the break, and I'm like, You went and bought a DVD based on Tony Martin's recommendation on Twitter. That's lovely. I'm kidding, that's fucking lame. I would have been at a blockbuster closing down thing where it was like, it's all something, but it's a good, it's a really good movie.

That would also, I would recommend it in the same way. I think it's a lot of good fun. One of the kind, it's sort of like a buddy thing, like a copish guy played by De Niro is taking over a guy, he's taking a crime across town, across the country, and he can't get there on the plane or there's twists and so I don't know, no spoilers, but they have to get across for him to collect his bounty.

Right. I can't remember the guy, the criminal guy is played by that. I think he was the dad from the Beethoven movies. Oh, I can't. But I reckon if they did a modern retake, I'd cast that same role because of similar sort of performance as Broden Kelly in same role. Because similar sort of performance as Broden Kelly in his role. I did a picture a minute so well, I'd be so good.

I'd probably just get Dineiro to stay as Dineiro. So Dineiro and Kelly, love that combo. Modern Midnight Run. Real good movie, check it out. All right, the other thing we like to do is thank a few other listeners. Yes. Should I kick it off? What kind of game are you gonna do this week? Maybe a friend's a rom type song title? Yeah. Or a band name or a...

Yeah, let's we can do a song title. Or what pet would you name them after? Dave, what are you reckon? How about, is there a way you can get up all their song titles? Yes, I've got a more up here. And then we could just assign one at random to each person. That song is dedicated to them. Ah, I love that. Beautiful.

Look it up, let's now enjoy it. Do you still want to play it? Apologies if it's rude. I don't apologize. Language warning. Whoops, we're 90 minutes in. My favorite language warning in triple J goes like this. It sounds like Kate Maclennan, actually.

It might be, and it just says, this next song's got a little bit of cussin' in it. I like it a lot, I always pick that one. Well, this Patreon section has a little bit of cussin' in it as well. Well, let me kick it off if you want from Wakefield in West Yorkshire, Catherine Grun. Catherine Grun. Like that name.

Shall I, am I picking this song? Yeah, at random. All right, I'll pick it at random. Random. You're not doing well today. You're so random. I'll pick them at random. Bucketbong.

That's great. Well done. That's a good sounds when that's a bit of a hit for them as well. So that's a great choice the Catherine groom groom, which you gave to me with your vibes. Imagine you rocking out to that in a West Yorkshire. She only wants me for my bucket bomb instead of the restaurant. Thank you so much for all your support, Catherine Groom, what a goddamn legend.

Oh, right. She's probably a pro-fripper for this band as well. When will I see you at the ICU again? I see you being the intensive care unit. Thank you. I think I got the tricky ones there. Thank you to Ben, Dave. Do you want to bring it home?

It went as far sideways as it did forwards. It was like the kind of shot where you're like, how's that possible? How, like, you can't do that on purpose. That is, that is technically a trick shot. Yeah, it is. Tiger Woods couldn't do it if he wanted to, but I did it.

I made it look easy and made golf look very hard. So yeah, Matt Flanagan's in there. And well, that's all the, no hang on.
