Click on live shows and we will see you very soon. Welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Warnocky. Hello, Wellington. As always, I'm on stage here with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart, everyone.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah. The Windy City. Here we are. This is like the craft beer capital of the world. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah, but most of you don't give a shit about that, do you? Although the place that I was so keen to come,
Starting point is 00:02:17 I was so stoked that Garage Project was within a few hundred metres of our venue, but it's closing at nine o'clock tonight. Do you guys not know how to party? Saturday night, come on. I'm hoping the BP will be open for a pie after this, though. Oh, yeah, Dave's had a few good pies here. What was it, Mrs. Max yesterday?
Starting point is 00:02:38 Which is an Australian brand of pie. At the airport? The man's fucker. He's obsessed. Honestly, three meals a day. It's weird traveling with him. He will have a breakfast pie. Love a breakfast pie.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You wouldn't believe what he has for lunch. A breakfast pie, it's fun. It should be illegal. Everyone tells me I should go to Puckoo Pies. Am I saying that right? I don't like how that began, but you really brought it home. That's insensitive. I apologize for that.
Starting point is 00:03:08 On the open top bus in Auckland yesterday, I normally am very mature, but when they mentioned that something was called fucker papa, I, or perhaps Papa Fucker, I had to bite my lip a little bit. Because he was so turned on.
Starting point is 00:03:29 That's what I want to be. I want to fuck a Papa. And I tell you what, we were surrounded by a lot of them, probably more grandpuppers, but Grey Nomads love an open bus tour. Oh, they love it. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:03:41 So now, Dave, do you want to start off the show again? No, give us a cheer if you've ever heard the podcast before. Excellent, you've. Thank God. Now, give us a cheer. And don't be shy, we always ask this. Give us a cheer. Be loud, be proud if you've never heard Do Go One in your life.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's you. Okay. Welcome. Thank you so much for being here. We're going to be really nice to you. Can I ask why are you here? Oh, yeah, okay. You've been dragged.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Yeah, yeah. That makes a lot of sense. I'd love the idea of someone just taking a chance. Huh, a podcast. We didn't check, but didn't the one of many people who interviewed you at Customs? Oh yeah, Customs here you have to talk to eight separate people. Do you have that? Is it my look?
Starting point is 00:04:27 I didn't talk to anyone. Yeah, I cruised right through. It was like person, person, person. It's because I declared I'd been to a hobby farm. And I looked at me like, why would you tell us that? Well, this is a 50 signs saying, have you been to a farm? Have you been to a farm? So I told him, yeah, I patted a pony.
Starting point is 00:04:46 They didn't care. But then one of the, finally got two in a lady. I just wanted to tell us all about my weekend. It was awesome. I loved the pony. You show pictures? Yeah, yeah. Look at it go.
Starting point is 00:05:02 It's like a horse. I mean, little. I got to one lady and I had to declare that, like, I'm here. Can you believe it? I'm here for business. Oh, what are you doing? I said, oh, I'm a comedian. I'm doing a show at the classic comedy club tomorrow night.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I'm doing a podcast. And she goes, really? I'm not doing anything tomorrow night. What time is it? Lovely country. So I give her the details and we never checked in. Yeah, I want to believe she came. I think she was there.
Starting point is 00:05:30 To the show. Yeah. And also just in general. At some stage. So are you in tonight? She might have gone to Wellington. She came to Wellington. No.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So basically, for the people who haven't heard of the show before, what we do is we take it in terms of the report on a topic, which is often suggested to us by one of the listeners. We go away, do a bit of research, bring it back in the form of a high school level report. His font is so big. I've also zoomed in as well. Yeah. It is Matt's turn to do the report this week.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Give it off for Matt Stewart, everyone. Thank you so much. See, but the thing is, like, if it's Dave's report, they don't have to be prompted to cheer. I would say it was still muted after prompt. I couldn't agree more. And I say that knowing it would be the exact same for me. They just froth a Dave Warnocky report.
Starting point is 00:06:19 We always start with a question, Matt. Do you have a question to get us on the time? I will say that I do the best live show reports. Anyway, so you also do the best questions, so. I can see the question because the font is huge. Do you know the answer? It's pretty. Does anyone know the answer from that?
Starting point is 00:06:38 It also seems like something that you might be asked at Customs, Dave. Have either of you committed a crime? They did ask me that. And don't listen to anyone who says otherwise. I've killed before and I'll kill again. No further questions. Is that pony okay? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Is that true? You haven't and you have killed? Yeah. Okay. I said no further question. Okay, you did say. Anyway, so my report really is more of an anthology of some of the sillier crimes that have happened over recent years. Let me begin.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Is that the title of the report? I don't know. I don't know. The Cillier crimes committed over the years. I've written, I've called it Matt's New Zealand report. Catching. Working title. I reckon that'll get a lot of clicks on Spotify.
Starting point is 00:07:32 It's mainly because I didn't know how to spell Aotaroa. Oh man, I'm really working on it. I swear to God it was worse than that recently. It was, yeah. That is surprisingly. improvement yeah can someone say it so I can no remember the the trick we can say it like an Italian
Starting point is 00:07:49 Italian accent oh that better oh still missing a bit in the middle but which bit Altaeroa Altaeroa Altaireoa A bit better I guess New Zealand All right I got a sarcastic ooh when I did it so
Starting point is 00:08:11 I don't know if that's better or worse I'm sure I mean I think it was mainly because you were so dismissive of me just before. You really had to nail it. And I did it. And I did it. No, you're right. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:23 The first story here, I don't know how many I've got. I reckon four or five or six. It's hard to count that high. Depending on how much time we've got. Anyway, this first story takes place on the afternoon of the 25th of July, 2013, in this beautiful part of the world known as Beaverton, Oregon. What a great name. I'd love to live in Beaverton.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Don't. Okay. A man entered a store at, I love the Americans address. So good. 8118, Southwest Beaverton Highway. How do they come up with these sort of names? Beautiful. His intention was to rob the place.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Huh. Hey, see, I told you it was going to be about crying. He was armed with the baseball bat and a nine-inch knife. Pretty, pretty big. For a knife, that is pretty big for a knife. I know, I couldn't see anyone specify it. Like, it's, imagine if it's like a butter knife or something. Just like a really big.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Imagine if it's a nine inches wide. A chodeish knife? And how long? It's like a sideways knife. Do you guys, I've been to a few places to eat while I've been travel around New Zealand. What a weird thing to need to say. I didn't need to say that bit. Anyway, I have noticed that you serve pizza by the foot here.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Although, you don't. No, you're doing that thing that people do on TikTok in that they go to one place and then go, this is this entire country. I've seen that in Australia. I've been to many places, the place around the corner does it? So, fuck you. By the foot, I probably. I saw it tonight with you.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah. And I thought, it's, don't fucking, I've been gaslit before. No, you haven't. But never by people I... Oh, yeah. I've got applause for gas lighting. I don't feel good about that. Nah, I feel really good about it, actually.
Starting point is 00:10:32 It's going to say, but never by people I trusted. That's still the case. So he's in there with a baseball bat, a nine-inch knife. After smashing a display case, he grabbed hold of the merchandise he was after a semi-automatic handgun. That's right. The story was a... attempting to rob was discount gun sales, which, as you probably guessed, from the name,
Starting point is 00:10:54 was a store that sold guns at a discounted price. God bless America. Unfortunately for him, the gun he just got hold of was unloaded. The same could not be said of the store manager's weapon. The manager, I imagine after going, what the fuck are you doing? Pulled out his gun and said, drop the baseball bat. Yeah. This guy brought a knife to a gun store.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Like 100%. He's an idiot. Yeah. Real silly stuff. It was a 22-year-old named Derek Mosley. He dropped his weapons, got on the floor, which he did. When police arrived, they arrested him charging him with robbery theft, unlawful possession of a firearm.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Because he held it for a second. Yeah, how annoying would that be? Do you have a loss for that? Oh, shit, no. But maybe my favourite, I've never heard of this crime, before he was also charged with criminal mischief which feels so happy you've been a bit cheeky
Starting point is 00:11:54 man criminal mischief criminal mischief that's cute that feels like a kui crime yeah adorable do you have that here along with your footlong fucking pizzas I swear to go the following February
Starting point is 00:12:10 pleaded guilty to one count of each second degree theft and second degree criminal mischief there are degrees of mischief The judge is like, how funny was it? So he was sentenced to five years of probation. He also had to pay to fix the case and get a mental health treatment. Incidentally, the phrase never bring a knife to a gunfight,
Starting point is 00:12:33 which just alluded to before, seems to have an unknown origin. People think it might have come from the Old West. But it really got popular after the 1987 film, The Untouchables. When Sean Connery's character, Jimmy Malone, had a gangster, an Italian-American gangster breaking his house
Starting point is 00:12:51 and get him with a knife and Jimmy Malone. Have you seen this movie? It's so funny, I'm telling you a thing that you know, badly telling you about a thing. But anyway, Sean Connery turns around with a shotgun
Starting point is 00:13:05 and he says a thing that I think is racist in America but I don't think it is here. Well, that's fine now. I only say that because in, In some of the transcripts of the movie, it doesn't say the word. It just has brackets. I was trying to help you, but all right. It just has brackets, racial slur.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Which at first made me think it was one of the ones I wouldn't say. But as I am, one-eighth Swiss-Italian, I do feel comfortable with this one. So Connery turns around holding a shotgun and he says, isn't that just like a wop? brings a knife to a gunfight. And what, if you heard the term WOP? Okay, it is racist here as well then. I'd not heard it.
Starting point is 00:13:53 In Australia we have one that ends in G instead. Yeah, a slight different. And that's been absolutely reclaimed by my community. So it does, it does sound, it does sound like, yeah, based on that, it really did get popular. Funnily enough, moments later, if you haven't seen the film, block your ears, I guess.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Malone, Sean Connery, is shot to death by a gangster with a Tommy gun. Isn't that just like a Scott? Brings a shotgun to a machine gun fight. It's something that I thought of before. Coincidentally, this is crazy because I read an article today, preseason in the AFL, which is the Australian Football League. it's an Australian football. Do you have that here?
Starting point is 00:14:48 Well, you know what? The St. Kilda Football Club played in the first ever game for points outside of Australia. That was in Wellington in 2013, which is the last time I was in this beautiful city. But anyway, the current coach, Ross Lyon, used the gunfight idiom this week, amongst a bunch of other great cliches, I think, talking about how the team expects to improve in 2026, Jay Clark, for Code 4.5. sports rights. For the past few years, the clubs say they have fought with one arm behind its back. Like, he merges so many different things that I think make him sound very smart together, saying, we've been taking a knife to a gunfight. We have to go backwards to go forwards.
Starting point is 00:15:31 But there has been a lot of dirt shifted and a lot of it has grown organically. So we're looking to go from boys to men and be in the fight. He's just throwing everything in. Yeah. He's flustered. It's really flustered. Reading, all that got me so pumped for the year. I think we're in for a big one.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Which, incidentally, this year is the 50-year anniversary of the Saints won and only VFL, AFL, Premiership in 1996. So maybe 50 years later, do we do it again? I got a good feeling about it. That's the end of the first story. Sorry, Matt. It's not 50 years. I was sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I was just doing the New Zealand Australian dollar conversion. It's 50 New Zealand years, 60 Australian years. Oh, we see 60 years, we're like, oh, is that all? Counting is very difficult when you cross centuries like that. I do appreciate you pulling me up on that now rather than letting Twitter decide. A platform I've not been on for a while. And I believe it's not even called that anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Don't worry, the mean tweets are still waiting there for you when you get back on there. All right, this next one actually takes place a lot more recently and a lot more locally, specifically on Thursday, the 18th of December, 2025 in Northland, here in Altaeroa. You know, what's insane is I spelt it out fanatically based on my own thoughts on how it should be pronounced? What was I thinking? I didn't look at it.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I literally, I wrote, Ataia, Roa. But that's not right. It's closer than Italian. Okay? Wait. Why did someone a whore? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:17:45 They're very nice here. Oh, okay. So I feel of empathy to me. Yeah, they care for you. I do not deserve your care. Anyway, so this happens outside the, oh no, Kawakawa police station, where a convoy of police cars were there,
Starting point is 00:18:01 getting, you know, ready to move off, a bunch of car, cop cars in a row, nothing strange. But what was odd was when an unmarked police car, not familiar to the other officers president, joined the convoy. So of a sudden another cop car joins in. Was it a car from another district? That's what the other cops were...
Starting point is 00:18:17 So it's an unmarked car. An unmarked car. It's just a car. No, I mean, it's got the, you know, the flashing lights and everything. It's got set up with the speaker. That feels fairly marked, doesn't it? Anyway, no, just need to visualize it. I'm really sorry about her attitude
Starting point is 00:18:34 I did it I took her aside earlier and I said alright Bob as famous we've got to be more positive okay we got to show that we're not you know bitches and she is not and she is not done what I've asked
Starting point is 00:19:04 you can't even look at her Well, that's normal. So anyway, they're like, what? Who's this guy? So I do a quick search of the number plate, which revealed the truth. It wasn't a police car at all. Despite the Commodore's police style flashing red and blue lights
Starting point is 00:19:22 concealed in the grill, the car was actually just a modified civilian car. Furthermore, the plate check revealed the vehicle's owner was disqualified from driving. The real police properly pulled him over. But did they have to, like, Go around like a conga line. They pull him out of the back.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, and then what followed, I assume, was a very patient and polite search of the car. At least if you believe what you see on Kiwi copaganda shows like Police 107 and Motorway Patrol. Copaganda! There's no way they act like that when the cameras aren't rolling. No way. The car's owner, a 30-year-old mechanic named Aaron.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Unluckily had a whole heap of illegal things stashed in the car. Senior Sergeant Clem Armstrong later told the media During the search we located a loaded firearm Underneath the driver's seat As well as a 3D printed gun A stash of ammunition and meth amphetamine Saying it was quite the unexpected find 3D printed meth
Starting point is 00:20:22 That's pretty good So yeah it's still quite a fresh case The man was actually due to face court this week I couldn't find out how that went But he was charged with impersonating police Possession of Meth unlawful possession of a sawn-off shotgun, unlawful possession of ammunition,
Starting point is 00:20:38 unlawful possession of a prohibited firearm magazine. I assume that means ammunition not... A naughty firearm magazine. Not dog and gun monthly. Dog and gun monthly. Yeah, but I actually said monthly, but anyway, I don't think anyone noticed. No, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I was also charged with driving while disqualified, and he wasn't, but I'd like to think a bit of criminal mischief. seemingly you would have got away with all this at least for a little while longer if he didn't make his car look like a cop car and join a police convoy. Why did he join a convoy? Did he explain himself?
Starting point is 00:21:16 There's no explanation. He may as well have just driven himself to the police station and walked in and be like, hello, I've got a bunch of illegal shit in the car. Do you want to come to see? Want to have a look? Yeah. Yeah, I reckon a real modern case of vicarous
Starting point is 00:21:29 flying too close to the sun. Yes, yes. that's the end of the second one all right this third one occurs in 2023 in Cobb County Georgia in the United States of America He says Cop County
Starting point is 00:21:50 Cobb Oh okay Imagine If you're criminally just avoid going there So a group of friends enjoyed a meal at the juicy crab There in Cobb County Running up a tab of $100 American dollars
Starting point is 00:22:07 Which is even more than our ones And after dining, they dashed out with paying the bill, classic dine and dash. Unfortunately for the group, a juicy crab employee was able to get a photo of the group's car and number plate. And in their haste, one of the group members unfortunately left their phone behind. So they made a couple of blunders. Yeah, a couple of whoopsies. Making things even easier for the cops, the owner of the phone used a selfie for his lock screen. So they'd find the phone, it's like, oh yeah, that's the guy who just was here moments ago.
Starting point is 00:22:38 So the selfie allowed the... Changing my lock screen. The selfie allowed the culprit to be quickly identified as one Brian Garfield Fort, who unfortunately was also wanted for murder. So he was on the run. Yeah. And he thought, I'm not going to lie low.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Yeah. He's silly enough if you're going to get done for the dine and dash. But if you're also wanted for one of the bigger crimes. Keep a low profile. Yeah. In terms of other crimes. crimes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah, he's just like, I want some crab. But I don't want a pay for it. In this non-coastal state. I want some crab and I want it juicy. So now that they had the car's number plates, they ran it through the system and it pinged literally a couple hours later and they found and arrested him in nearby Brookhaven. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a newspaper over there, The fort was later found guilty of felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Starting point is 00:23:42 He was sentenced to life in prison plus five years without the possibility of parole. And he might have got away with it too. If only he could have controlled his juicy crab cravings. Or just paid for his meal. It's not what he chose to eat. It's then he chose not to pay. That's true. That makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 00:24:01 That is the end of the third. Jess, I was about to get an applause. So sorry. I was going to get better get us an applause for nothing. You were about to ask for an applause. No, no, no, no, not in so many words. Yeah. Well, maybe I should just do that.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Apples. Don't waste it. And that was the end of the third story. All right. So we've either got one, two or three more to go. I'm scrolling, hanging on, yeah, that feels about right. Anyway, here's... When did you write this report, by the way?
Starting point is 00:24:39 Recently. I was halfway through a report and it started getting too grim for a live show. Yeah, okay. So I put that one in the back pocket for a studio episode. I mean, that means you'll still hear it. No, that's what I think that's what you were saying. No, just get rid of it altogether. Delete it.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I hate grim. Well, they can't tell you. Because then they'll hear. I'll tell you. If you ask me later, I can tell you. Will you tell me? No, no, you two are the only people will not tell.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Aw. I don't trust you. Just like we're the only two people you won't tell that you love. I love you both. So, I tell you that so often. Yeah, it's actually a bit much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:27 You hear it so much, it doesn't mean anything. Yeah. He's like leaving the room and he says it and you're like, okay. Yeah. Love you too. Okay, I've overcorrected. So this one's a quickie from, again, from New Zealand, Napier in particular from 2008.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Before I get on to that, a little bit about Napier. I was so keen to visit. I'm not going to get the chance to, but it's also known as the Art Deco Capital of the World. Do you know this day? Oh, yes, and they have a festival there. That's right. And according to their very own website,
Starting point is 00:25:57 this is how it came about, following a massive earthquake, 7.9 on the Richter scale, if you don't mind. On the morning of Tuesday, 3rd of Feb, 1931, fires destroyed most of the commercial heart of Napier. The city was rebuilt in the style of that era, era, and by the end of the decade, Napier was the newest city on the globe.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Nowhere else can you see such a variety of buildings in the styles of the 1930s, stripped classical, Spanish mission, and above all, Art Deco. The style of the 20th century. Napier's art deco is unique, though, with Maori motifs. No. No. Fuck. Marty, Māori.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Marty motifs. And the buildings of Louis Hay, admirer of the great Frank Lloyd Wright. It's so funny that one of your architects on your, like, the local website is like, yeah, he's good, he admired a real famous one. Can't you just say his name? But if you don't know him, he admired one that you've heard of. The style we now call Art Deco originated in Europe, and its heyday was from 19, 2019, 40.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Art Deco expressed all the vigor and optimism of the roaring 20s and the idealism and escapism of the grim 30s. So Napier is known as the Art Deco capital of the world, but also, as you're about to hear, it's also known as the home of the pidler on the roof. Which is pretty much the only reason I'm telling the story. So I've burnt the... I probably should have held that back.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Anyway, here's the story. If I was a piss man. So security cameras caught a man urinating into a parking machine on the second floor of a council parking meter. He probably didn't look up and see there were cameras all around him. Police released a statement saying he pays up in the air in a big arc, so it goes into the coin slot and out the hole where people collect their tickets. It's actually really impressive. Yeah, because the piss into standing vertical, the piss. Linda, that's really...
Starting point is 00:28:10 And what, we're punishing this yet? What the hell? This piss genius. We have so much to learn. So, yeah, this is when the police dubbed the man the piddler on the roof because it was on a... The cops said that. Yeah, the cops... They're going to make their day fun too where they can.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Do any of you remember this? It's a little while ago now, but apparently went pretty viral at the time, photos and videos circulating online, circulating online. Circulated on long. Which meant that the culprit was soon found A man named Saran Mallet, an 18-year-old chef. He admitted to being the piddler And was another, it's like the Batman villain.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. That must have been done somewhere. Also like chef mallet, nominative determinism. Oh, because they, I mean, how do you cook? Tenor-rised meat with the mallet. Sorry, I was still thinking of piss. Oh, yeah, sorry. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:29:04 So, yeah, he was ordered to pay 165. New Zealand dollars to the council. Is that all? Sorry. The ABC, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, reported in August of 2008, I've only just picked this up that it might be a light slur
Starting point is 00:29:24 against your people here. A sheepish mallet was flanked was flanked by his parents. I don't know, almost definitely they did that on purpose. Anyway, a sheepish mallet was flanked by his parents when he arrived at the Napier district. strict court to plead guilty to causing intentional damage.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He told reporters outside the court he'd been out drinking with friends saying, quote, I couldn't stand properly. This is so much more impressive. Yeah. He can't stand properly and he's got that kind of accuracy and arc. Oh my God. He should be on your money. I couldn't stand properly.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I wasn't aware of what I was doing. Mallett said, who claimed he had only offended once despite a council report that the machine had been doused in urine at least five times. Serial piddler. Or a copycat piddler. He probably won't like hearing me talk about this publicly because he said outside the court, I don't want to be known forever as the pidler on the roof. Please stop saying that.
Starting point is 00:30:29 But he also said, this is so funny, he said, I'd like to say, I'm sorry. But who hasn't pissed in public? Like he said, I'd like to, but I won't. I'm not apologising. We've all done it. Mate, this is a really unique crime. He's like, who here? Amongst us.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Your Honor! Can you honestly say, Your Honor, you've never pissed outside in public? So that's the end of the fourth story. This one also occurred in 2008. Just a really great time for silly crime. According to the Chicago Tribune, the incident started about 8 a.m. when a masked man, armed with a revolver, came into the Valesquez mufflers for less.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Sorry, what's it called? Vales Mufflers for Less. It's a muffler shop. Right, and he came into that muffler shop. That is hard to do. That is how you've got to really line it up. Get the arc exactly right. Dribbled out the corn slot.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Not quite as much flow, but... I might go. You got something to do? You're going to go or you're going to come? All right. Look, I know it. I shouldn't have. I knew as soon as I said it. You don't need that feedback.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I tell you what, I've regretted half the things I've said literally every second word on average. It's been a mistake. So, yeah, I mean, first of all, this is an masked armed robber. In a muffler shop. And discount muffler shop. Yeah. You can't even get top shelf mufflers. So he goes in demanding money.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Employees told him that they didn't have much, and the only money they did have was in a safe, but the only one who could open the safe was the boss who wasn't there. So the armed robber left two phone numbers for them to call. Hey, I just give you my cell, if I'm not answering it. This is my wife. Saying,
Starting point is 00:32:54 when the boss gets back in, you better call me. Why would they fucking do that? And he said, you guys better, you guys better call me. Otherwise, I'm going to come back and shoot you.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Oh, okay. This is what Jose Sita, a 37-year-old worker at the shop, recounted later. Instead, one of the other, employees did not do as he said and called the cops. Officers dressed in plain clothes came to the shop and told employees to call the man.
Starting point is 00:33:25 The man telling him that, yeah, the boss is in. You can come and rob us now. We're ready. The man returned about noon wearing the same mask and black clothing. And officers told the employees to get to the back of the shop. Then a police source said the man pulled his gun from his hood of sweatshirt. and at least, I mean, this whole, this is a very grim paragraph. This is the cop source telling us this.
Starting point is 00:33:51 So this is the best case version of what happened. A police source said that the man pulled a gun from his hooded sweatshirt and at least one officer opened fire, wounding him in the leg. He didn't, he recovered really quickly. But it is pretty fucked. Like the police's PR's going, well, at least one of us opened fire. And he was definitely pulling a weapon. Was he?
Starting point is 00:34:13 So the man was revealed to be just 18 years old, Ruben Zarardi. And yeah, he was arrested and did a little time. So that one doesn't end super happy. But man, someone quite adorable about a robber who leaves a phone number. Oh, I'm sorry, I've come at a bad time. Okay, well, what do we do? What do we do? Look, I'll leave you my number. If I was that worker, I'd be like, yeah, sure, no worries.
Starting point is 00:34:44 and just a name. Uh-huh. Just an email. Yeah, just an address in case we can't reach you on the phone. And your height, if you could just stand. If I could just get a quick picture of you.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yeah, I've got a guy's great at sketching. Yeah. If we could. I'm like, why not take a photo? Now you're being stupid. In this scene we're playing out.
Starting point is 00:35:08 All right, that's the end of the, what, fifth? Yeah, fifth. I think number five. Let's head up to London Town for this one. I believe this is the penultimate now. This one occurred in 2012 in cheapside London where a thief entered the Halifax Bank.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Already I'm like, yes. Yeah, bank, but it's in cheap side. Yeah, okay, that's true. So better than a muffler shop? Yes. You'd expect them to have money in this one? Yeah, well, you'd hope, yeah. But you're right, cheapside.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Anyway, he was armed with a gun, also doing better than an earlier fella. Yeah, yeah. So he came in, gun in one hand, an empty bag for the cash in all. He was well prepared, thought it out. He went in, demanded 700,000 pounds in cash, which is even more than the American ones, I think. We're going up and up. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:04 But the Telegraph reported, after making his demands, the crook, who was wearing shades and a flat cap, so British. He handed over the bag and said, fill this up with 700,000. But then instantly realized he handed over the gun and still held onto the bag. If you could just fill this up with $700,000. But also, does it not remind you of how at every single live show,
Starting point is 00:36:31 Matt will inevitably talk into the beer instead of the microphone? It's the same kind of vibe. And every time with that, pal, he'll say, oh, that's the first time that's happened. Yeah. But is a bank going to have $700,000? Because sometimes I've gone into A&Z a couple of times to get coins, and they're like, we don't have that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:48 They don't have 700,000 coins. Yeah, I know. They're not going to have it in coins. But also, he's asked for 700,000 pounds. What if they're like, we've got way more than that? Yeah. Is that all? That's all I need.
Starting point is 00:36:59 But he was like, my gun can only hold so much. I mean, back. Fuck, fuck. So. If you were the teller, I would be like, I don't know what to do. Yeah. But apparently the teller froze for a second. Like, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:37:14 Do I head it back? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, no, we all do that. Mondays, am I right? He was probably, he was like, flustered slightly longer than the crook. So the crook was able to get away. He stole a bank worker's bike and peddled off.
Starting point is 00:37:32 A reward. So he left empty-handed. But even though a reward was- Sorry, was the bike worth 700,000 pounds? At least. Reward was put up for, yeah, I guess I said empty-handed, but he was fully footed. Hey, you've got to have a swing.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And sometimes you miss. So a reward would put up for information leading to his arrest And a police source said, quote, This man is not the sharpest tool in the box. But as far as I could tell, he was never caught. So obviously not too silly. Never dined and dashed at a crab house. And that is the end of the penultimate and maybe sixth or fifth.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Sixth, I think. Story of a... As it turns out, there are so many of these. So many that they've stopped clapping. All right, so we're going to finish this one. It would be the most well-known one. I think a lot of you, or at least some of you, would be aware of it. We're going back over the ditch, or the Dutch, as you say,
Starting point is 00:38:40 to our hometown of Melbourne, Australia. I've heard of it. Australia's own copaganda show, Highway Patrol, and an incident that became iconic online for a brief amount of time around 2012, 2013. The story goes like this. after 10 p.m., senior constable Ash Bowden is driving around the Melbourne suburb of Karam Downs searching for a car that had reportedly been doing donuts and burnouts.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Soon after, a call came through reporting a similar card crashed near the Cole supermarket car park. There he finds the man sitting in the car and this is all caught on camera. I thought, I've shared this with you, this script. Oh, yeah. Do you want to, now one of you needs to play the cop and the other one, I got maybe it's not revealed straight away but maybe a guy who's a little inebriated
Starting point is 00:39:31 in the car I don't know who would feel more comfortable who's got bigger cop energy do you reckon have these two Jess All right Jess is a cop Dave Honestly that is such a compliment All right
Starting point is 00:39:48 So I'm playing man Jess is cop your man Oh god So the options were cop or man And you couldn't figure out who you're You have a drama degree I've never been referred to as man in my life. Can we change it to cop and little boy?
Starting point is 00:40:05 Is that boy? Where is the boy? All right, so the cop approaches and says. What happened, mate? Pardon? What's going on? Just waiting for a mate. Is that why your car's all smashed up?
Starting point is 00:40:23 And you're up on the grass at the moment, or what? Yeah, my mate, he's... He's gone in there. Why? I'm just wondering how the collision with your car happened, mate. What collision? Well, the one that's got all your wheels and stuff twisted up and your front bumper bars hanging off, mate.
Starting point is 00:40:41 A lot of mate here, I love it. There's also, there's shots they pull back, and it's like the wheels of the tires have popped. It's over, the car is fucked. And he's sitting with his arm out of the window as relaxed as you're like. Mate, what are you talking about? I'm just waiting for... Well, I'm just waiting for a mate, as I said.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Who's your mate? Huh? Who's your mate? James. Yeah, James who? How did you get down here? What, does it matter? Kind of does, mate, because you've just been involved in an accident. No, I haven't?
Starting point is 00:41:25 Yes, you have. Have I? What kind of accident? One with a curb, mate. Your whole car smashed up. Can I see your licence, please? No. You've been drinking tonight?
Starting point is 00:41:48 No. I can smell it on you. Yeah, well, I'm not driving. Well, so when he's told he needs to either show his license or get out of the car, he responds. Well, I don't have a license. I'm sitting here because I'm waiting for a mate. You've had a car crash.
Starting point is 00:42:18 No, I have it? You're drunk. Am I? Yeah, you are, mate. I can smell it all over you. So we find out it goes on and on. I recommend watching the whole thing but we find out the man's actual name is Clint
Starting point is 00:42:33 they bleep it out like his surname and stuff but he reveals his name he also reveals he lost his license a year earlier for drink driving and though he claimed he hadn't been driving multiple witnesses confirmed he was the driver when the car crashed very publicly he's in the driver's seat
Starting point is 00:42:50 he then allowed they're like we need to to breathalise you he's like know for a while and he's, I'll allow that. He blows well over the legal limit. And the cops wanted to take him to the station for a secondary blood test, breath test. And that's when Clint says, I'm not sure you're a federal officer of the law.
Starting point is 00:43:15 I'm not a federal officer. Aren't you? Well, I move on then. I'm a Victorian police officer. No, but... Well, that's not good enough. I only talk to the fence. Who have no jurisdiction over drink driving.
Starting point is 00:43:41 As Clinton finally did provide his license, which was suspended. He was free to go pending a future court appearance. But they were trying to go, mate, we'd like you to come, but you're no longer under arrest because you've given us your details. You can either come back to the station with us for another. breath test, blood tests, but you can go if you want. So it was up to him and the cop said... Do you want to come back?
Starting point is 00:44:06 No. If you want to go by your own free will, that would be fantastic. I need you to make a definitive decision. Definitive? Can you define that? Bit of fun. So yeah, you could tell the cop was like, it would be really good if you just fucked off down.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Yeah. I would love it. I would love to not have to deal with you anymore. Anyway, he ended up going back to the station where he blew 0.181, approximately four times the legal limit. In the end, he was fined $600, Australian, and sentenced to four months of community service and was disqualified for driving for three years. Not a lot's known about him. He didn't really cash in on it.
Starting point is 00:44:48 He definitely could have gone on the TV circuit after that. I'll be the define that guy. Yeah. Does anyone here remember this? Yeah. And many of you not? Are you saying no? In their defence, you asked it a confusing way.
Starting point is 00:45:08 I did ask a very confusing way. I do apologise for that. So that was the final of the, what, seven? Seven. Now, I've written here, if time permits, because I don't know if any of you have heard recent live shows, I've started finishing with like a low-budget erotic novel synopsises. And for this one, my Google history is so cooked right now
Starting point is 00:45:41 because I was trying to find a relevant New Zealand one. I looked up like Kiwi sex. And it was really hard to find. You've really constructed this narrative after I walked in on you and what you were Googling. No, there's a reason you'll see. It's the podcast. Yeah, now I have to do it.
Starting point is 00:46:07 But anyway, I'm like, I did find one. It's not as crook as some of them, but it's a bit of fun. And it is a New Zealand related one. So I thought, why not get my best New Zealand friend who happens to be in the audience tonight? Our editor, AJ, do you want to give AJ a round, of course? It's AJ everyone who I don't think knows this is happening. Am I given on stage? Yeah, come on up.
Starting point is 00:46:34 So to finish this episode, AJ is going to read out the synopsis to a New Zealand-related erotic e-book that seems to be free with your Amazon subscription. Thanks, Jeff. This is the role of a lifetime. Was anybody else picturing Matt Stewart as the criminal in all of those stories? All right. A freak. Hang on, is the font big enough? I think I can read it.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah, thank you. A freak unseasonal snowstorm has brought Heathrow Airport to a standstill, grounding all the planes, except I need to get home to New Zealand urgently. This has happened to me recently. I've done something I shouldn't have done, and the longer I'm trapped in this airport, the higher the chances of getting busted. You have done that recently.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Oh, yeah, that's true. I'm desperate, which is also true. So desperate, I think. threw a tantrum at the customer service desk begging the lady to let me on a plane. I haven't done that because I respect every woman I've ever met. Then yelling at her when she doesn't. Probably not a good look considering there are armed cops everywhere and I really don't want to be drawing attention to myself. So when a Kiwi rugby player literally scoops me up off my feet and puts me in a quiet corner to cool off away from the attentions of the millions of people trapped in the
Starting point is 00:48:03 airport, I should be grateful. Except then he demands. I call him Daddy. If only he wasn't the only one who can help me. Kiwi Daddy paperback by Kelly Dawson.
Starting point is 00:48:19 This was previously published in the International Daddy's Anthology. Back a title for this episode. Give it up for AJ everyone. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much, A. Che.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Oh, God. He is my Kiwi Daddy. I'm going to need you to send that to me later. Being picked up by a rugby player? I really did think you would enjoy that. My dream. Any rugby players in? Are you serious? Oh, no, of course.
Starting point is 00:48:51 It's all fucking nerds. We should take any daddies in. All nerds. Okay, bunch of virgins. Got it. Well, that brings us at the end of this episode. What are we going to call it? silly criminal daddies.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Yeah, it'll have to be. I'm looking to you to wrap it up now. And then you're looking back at me. I've said, I've... Give it up for Matt Stewart, everybody. Yeah, that's right. Thank you, Jess. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:49:25 I know, sorry about him. I'm sorry about him. That was a lot of fun. And it's inspired us all to commit a lot of stupid crimes tonight. I just can't believe we don't have any rugby player listeners. Specifically hookers or props, you know? I need someone to lift me. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:39 You've actually really disappointed me tonight, Wellington. But thanks for coming anyway, everyone. To our first show here in Wellington, thank you so much for coming out. Now, we are going to finish the show in a second, but we'll be up the back on the way out if you want to either say hello or buy some merch from us, which we've loved over. Or Kiaora. That one is a little easier.
Starting point is 00:50:03 You can also avert your gaze and just keep walking. That's fine too. We've brought over some tote bags, some tour posters, some magnets and some stickers. And you can buy one of each in what we used to call the show bag until we realise that you don't have show bags in New Zealand. That's an Australian thing. So we're calling them the footlong pizza bags.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Which you all have. That's good enough for me. So ask for a foot long pizza bag and we'll know what you mean. Yeah. And we're also doing a second show here in about an hour at 9 o'clock. But I think the doors are open at 8.30. So in about half an hour. there's about 20 tickets left that you can still buy online
Starting point is 00:50:44 until about 20 past 8 or something or you can buy them at the door if you want it to stick around. If not, go out, enjoy your night. Can you give yourselves a round of applause for coming out on this beautiful Saturday night? Thank you so much. Thank you so much for the fridge bar for having us. We had alien sound.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Thank you so much. And until next time, we'll say good night, Wellington. Later. And we're back in the... The room. Back in the nice, cool room in Melbourne. I was thinking we were in a hot location for this show, but that's not true. Yeah, but we've left the tropics of New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:51:25 And we're back. Where it rained the whole time I was there. In Melbourne. And thank you to everyone who came to see us in Wellington at both of our shows. What a lovely time we had in New Zealand, overall. Oh, a gorgeous time. So sorry again that it took us 10 years to get there. Won't happen again.
Starting point is 00:51:40 No promises, but ideally. Yeah, it won't happen. again. We'll never be able to be able to be able to be in. No, we have that a good good time. Maybe next time we'll expand our horizons with further places. Oh, again? No promises. No promises. That's crazy. Um, Dave's just getting up to a bit of criminal mischief there. Am I using that right? That's good. Now, uh, this is a chance for us to thank other people who make this happen, our patrons. And if you want to be one of them, you can go to patreon.com slash two on pod. And there's a bunch of different stuff you can get there. Dave will break
Starting point is 00:52:13 get out for you quickly now if you want, M2. Otherwise, skip ahead about 30 seconds. Okay, I'll keep it under 30. A big seller for us is we do bonus episodes nearly every single week. We do four a month and now there's 300 in the back catalogue. And so hundreds of hours. You can also be part of the Facebook group. I hear about shows in advance.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Get discount tickets. Of course, you get to vote for topics and you just get to have a bloody lovely time. At free episodes, video episodes. There's a lot of perks. And also the delight of knowing that you're making. the show possible for the next 10 years. Yeah, imagine that delight. I imagine the delight.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I'd be bloody chock full of it. But I play a much smaller role in this show being made than the people we're about to thank, including these people who are on the Sydney Schaumburg level or above, they get to be involved in this section of show. What does it call it again? I think it's fact quote or question. Actually, it has a jingle. Go something like this.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Fact quote or questions. I always remembers the ding shows, remembers the same. seeing the way this one works is you get to give it a factor quote or a question or really whatever you like and then I read it out on the show I don't pre-read it so if it's not edited out then it's on AJ and whoever wrote it because it's not on me okay that's all I'm saying I honestly think it would be crazy for someone to blame you no but I'm just a vessel these days with the internet how it is you've got to get ahead of it and say this is so the first this week for the fat quote or question section is one Logan Husky, who's given himself the title.
Starting point is 00:53:51 You always get to give yourself the title. Logan's title is Auditor of Matt's Obscuer, Get This Refer. Oh, an important job because I don't get the references. Logan, where are you? There's one. There's one there for you. Now, Logan's asking a question, which is, which animal would you steal from the zoo and how? And we always encourage our question askers to answer the question.
Starting point is 00:54:17 And Logan has written, I would steal an elephant by putting a collar, a leash on it, and just walking it out the front door. Oh, that's so good. They try to stop me, I'd say, no, no, I bought this one with me. And I produced a receipt showing that the elephant was purchased from another Pachyderm vending establishment earlier that day. Nice. Perfect crime. Perfect crime. I think I'd go for an otter.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Oh. Maybe a couple of otters. Oh, yeah. You don't want to split them up. And I've heard that they hold hands while they sleep, so they don't drift away from each other, and I'd like to witness that. So what do you think of a bit of chloroform in the backpack
Starting point is 00:54:54 are they holding hands? Well, that's it. They're quite small, I imagine. So, yeah, I could probably just... Oh, you should get baby ones. That's good. That'll be even smaller then. Baby otters.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I mean, I don't know that for a fact. Maybe they're one of those animals that grows in reverse. Oh, now I want to... Maybe they are. I don't know. There's heaps of them. I want to look up baby, oh, they're so cute. Yeah, I want a baby otter.
Starting point is 00:55:16 You just put them in your pockets. They're known as pups, kits or kittens. Kits is really cute. Yeah, I just put them in my, I'd take, I'd be wearing cargo pants as I often am, so that wouldn't erase any suspicion. In fact, it would erase suspicion. It would erase suspicion. Because on the way into the zoo, if you're not wearing cargo pants,
Starting point is 00:55:32 they go, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you up to? Yeah. What are you doing? What are you doing? Skinny jeans, that's a weird thing to wear here. You won't be able to kidnap any? Hang on. So, yeah, I'll walk in.
Starting point is 00:55:43 What distraction are you creating? All of a sudden, I'm a bit suss on the security guard. You know what I mean? Yeah. Why? What are you getting at? So I walk in in my cargo pants, shove a couple of kits in those pockets, take them home, put them in the bath. Firstly, I've just got to get a place that has a bath.
Starting point is 00:55:59 And then I'll just, they can just live in my bath and hold hands while they sleep. Yeah, basically a new version of Peter Possum's Perfect Penguins or whatever that Jim Carrey movie was. Peter Possum's Perfect Penguins. Yep, that's it. That was so perfect. Yeah. Dave, what are you taking? Well, you're talking about taking animals out of the zoo.
Starting point is 00:56:17 What about moving me into the zoo? Well, that wasn't the question. Like I set up my home there. That wasn't the question. So no, that's not an answer. I think you can answer the question of your life. Okay, and then the animal I'm taking out of the zoo is you. Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Oh, cool. You should walk me out the front door as well. Yeah, I put a leash on you. But that's more of a king thing. If Dave moves in there, then he gets to be, he gets to sort of hang out with all of them. Yeah. Yeah, I probably hang out with the baboons. Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Try to be the king baboon. Yeah, good luck. Yeah. You're going to get effed up. Yeah, they're pretty crazy, aren't they? The last time I was at the zoo, at the baboon, actually, there was a guy there with his family, and he was just flipping off, like an adult man, just flipping off the baboons. Like, he was really pissed off at them.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Oh, what did they done? I was wondering, what has this baboon done to you, man? Wow. I was sure you were going to take the Great Panda. They're your favourite animals? I love them. But I would probably, for ease, my thought was, at the Melbourne Zoo, they've got a thing called Lima Island.
Starting point is 00:57:17 You're not allowed to take any food in because you go to a bit like an airlock closes behind you. And then the lemas, they just roam around. They can come right up to you. Oh, that's cool. You might as have had like a banana or something. I could tempt it over under the arm, through the airlock. I've not seen that. I've not seen that.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Leamer Island's great. Leamer Island. I've never seen that. That's cool. We take the lemur. Yeah, good call. Sounds like I think it would be honest. I don't think you should be allowed to get up that close with lemurs.
Starting point is 00:57:45 But you should be able to steal animals. Well, I don't think you'll be... Kangaroos at Melbourne Zoo. You can, what? You just wander through the kangaroo. Oh, yeah, but they're a pest. We eat them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:56 They can't let it. They're culling, you know, they always go through culls. Yeah. Well, it's lemurs. They're not a pest. They're an important animal. They're a pleasure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:05 They're a pleasure to have in class. Well, they do taste fantastic as well, though. Yes, obviously. Yeah, especially those ring tails. Just suck the body off and you just pull the ringtail out of your mouth. I've been googling what do otters eat just so that I can be prepared for when I steal those baby otters. Is the Anselaimus? Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:25 What are you taking from the zoo? You know, as an animal lover. Yeah, but this is just a fun little quick. Everyone's okay in this scenario. No, as an animal lover, he doesn't know which one to take him? I don't know which one to steal. He loves them. to house, you know, in an inadequate way.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I mean, my favourite animal is a wombat, of course. Your house barely houses you in an adequate way. No, that's true. It's not in an ethical way? My feet hanging out the window. Bair's not big enough, let alone the bloody bedroom. So maybe it needs to be a small animal? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:02 What a little spider is a thing? Although Dave answered a different question. Maybe I could do that as well. A bigger house. That's what I'd steal. So, Logan, I've answered you a question. So did I. I just didn't let me do my funny little bit.
Starting point is 00:59:14 No, I won't do it anymore. I'll take penguin so I can be just like Peter Possum's perfect penguin. Yeah, just like Peter Possum's perfect question. I'll be playing the part of Peter Possum, aka Jim Carrey. Perfect. Dave, do you want to do your bit again? No, I don't know. I'm happy with my answer.
Starting point is 00:59:31 It's Leam Royal Island. Now I'm looking it up. It's so fun. Leamor Island's great. Let's go to the zoo. Will you tell me later what you were going to say that I interrupted? Yeah. And you'll say.
Starting point is 00:59:37 I'm glad I interrupted. I was not worth it. I'll take maybe Gibbons. Oh, yeah, that's fun. All right. Now, Caitlin Everhart's next up, who writes, who's got the title of CEO of Passing Out at the Dentist. Oh, I just one of the dentists yesterday.
Starting point is 00:59:54 It was a new dentist, and they said, I have fantastic teeth and gums. Congratulations. It was quite a relief to do that. Is it them trying to tempt you to book in for another six months? Well, no, it's the same dentists I've been on to since I was a child. It was just a new dentist at that dentistry. Why?
Starting point is 01:00:12 Because I thought, famously you go, I don't know if you said this on pod, out of your way to go to this dentist because you know and trust them. Yeah. And now you're getting some other person? Yeah, I know. It's funny because it was like a family friend that started with. He's retired. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:28 The next person took him over and he's like, yeah, I can recommend her. And then since then I've seen other people and you sort of just get who you get when you go on there now. But they've all been great. They all get to see the approval. But they were like, where do you live? And I'm like, oh, yeah, I've been coming here from. They're like, oh, yeah, you have. Like, literally since I was a child.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Anyway, I should really probably just. You can change if you want. Mate, I'm an old dog. I've just done that recently, only last year, from the dentist up the road from my parents' house, to one much closer to my house. Yeah, okay. And it was good? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Okay. And I hate the dentist. I'm very scared of the dentist. I've always had pretty okay experiences. The times I've hated it have been, you know, when they're yanking them out of your head. Yeah, I don't love that. But normal, I don't mind going in and getting them cleaned and that sort of stuff. And then them telling you you've done a good job.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Oh, I like that bit. Yeah. But it sounds like maybe Caitlin has not had a great time at the dentist. Caitlin writes a question as well. Ah. Hi, all. Love the pod. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Happy holidays. And to you. And to you. Slash Valentine's. Oh, my God. Thank you. Which is this week, I think. At the time of recording.
Starting point is 01:01:39 And release. Yeah, it's just gone by. As in like this week? Last weekend. So like four days ago. I'm calling that this week. Okay. Fuck, I didn't realize we were here in the pedant faction of the show.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Hey, facts matter, mate. Really important stuff to pull me up on. I appreciate that. Also, slash birthday. To me, I'm not doing good. These words are just like disappearing in front of me. Kailen writes, hi, all love the pod. Happy holidays slash New Year slash Valentine's slash birthday to me,
Starting point is 01:02:19 depending on when you get around to this. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. And Valentine's and New Year's and holidays. I just got my wisdom tooth out at the ripe age of 23 because it didn't decide to come in until now. very rude in my opinion but I at least
Starting point is 01:02:37 I get time off IG Instagram that's yeah take it any way you want you can be you say like I finally got it out at 23 I was in my late 20s I think when I got mine out
Starting point is 01:02:49 really yeah I think I was I think I was 21 or 22 I got it out preemptively because I was about to go overseas an indefinite amount of time and they're like probably better to do it here yeah then run into some issues
Starting point is 01:03:03 Because it was pretty much like you can either do it now or you probably won't need to worry about over there. But if you do, it will be more annoying. Yeah. Did he also take out your appendix, your tonsils just in case? Yes, gave me a vasectomy. Just in case. Just in case. You're going to take out one of your kidneys just in case.
Starting point is 01:03:22 It's easier now. We can put that back in later if you need it, but let's remove it now. We put it on ice. Let's keep one safe here. You said, you're a dentist? I'm a dentist. Yeah. And I was, and then I woke up in a bathtub full of.
Starting point is 01:03:33 of ice. Oh, freak ice. Seems normal. What, what, IG, does that, what else does that mean? At least I get time off IG. Maybe it's just at least we got time off. But maybe it is IG. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:03:49 We might be put into a question that explains it, who knows? Man, I do that so often with these. I'll be like, I'm confused by this. I spend five minutes being exacerbated and there's three words later. It's fully explained. Procedure ended up not being bad. but did get some dry socket too. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Unhappy face. That's nasty. Might my fault unsure, if should have been smooching as soon as I do. Are you smooching as you're right in this? It really feels like you're only a one eye. She still might be high from the operation. Might be my smooching.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Oh, well, worth it. Anyways, that's so awesome. You go back to the dentors, you have to be like, so I got the dry socket. But that's the only thing that was dry. Other sockets were. Moist. So, worth it. Anyways, I was wondering if you all, y'all, have any funny slash silly wisdom teeth removal stories of your own
Starting point is 01:05:01 or of others you can share for loud. My ride home was a friend from college, so I wasn't too worried about saying something I shouldn't or being too out there because, well, they've seen me through many college nights, so this is nothing, lull. Worse I got was, I was told to be careful when having my dance party in the car
Starting point is 01:05:23 on the way to the pharmacy. Anyways, love the pod. That's so good. I love that story. And I would like to think that you're still a little high from the medication. I definitely, I do remember feeling like loopy high afterwards. And I remember I was able to, I was recommending my brother had done it before me and he's like,
Starting point is 01:05:44 put it together a playlist of heavy metal hard rock music. And he's like, it'll distract you from like the cracking inside your head. So I made this playlist of my favorite like hard rock and metal songs to listen to during it. And does that work? Yeah, I think so. I mean, I don't know. I felt, I was put under. I was absolutely put under.
Starting point is 01:06:04 Yeah, I was out. I would have bet money that Matt's a chair guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that you are not. And I'm not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, one of them had to be taken out. Cheching.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Yeah, that's right. One of mine was taken out in an emergency, like, so just in the chair. And then he did some x-rays and went, I don't think I can remove these. I'm going to, I'm going to send you to a specialist. And I'll have a lot for time in now. Well, the others weren't that bad. And then I go to the surgeon and he's disdose.
Starting point is 01:06:31 deciding whether he can do it in the chair or not. And I'm like, please put me up. If he was like, no, I can do it in the chair. I'd be like, no, put me under. I don't like it. Because from what I've heard, they basically get a crowbar and just sort of leaning into your chest. It was great.
Starting point is 01:06:42 It was crazy because they numb you out and the injections in felt weird as well, into your gums. Yeah, it's not nice. So it's like, yeah, just a really strange sensation itself, which I didn't love. But then it was like your gum was fully numb. And you just, you can hear and feel it without the pain, but the crunching and the, And they're sort of like having to use your chest to like get leverage and stuff. People get, just take the headbones off as if you're not in the room with him.
Starting point is 01:07:07 I know, but like it's less loud. Just raw. That's gross. And is it true that you can get bruises on your chest from the pressure? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I just went to sleep. Yeah, I honestly, I am incredibly tense and anxious when they're just cleaning my teeth.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Right. I don't do well at the dentist. Childhood trauma. Yes, I was going to say they. If you have a bad experience earlier, probably, and I was just lucky probably it was a, dad went to, knew this guy from way back in the day. I'd known and been around to his house and stuff.
Starting point is 01:07:42 It's a great guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. What a gift. Dave would go to his grandfather. Yeah, which in itself was a good big and funny because it's in the kitchen. Just be like, oh, give us a look.
Starting point is 01:07:54 You'd be like, oh, suddenly Granddad's hands are in your mouth. A little bit, were you? Okay. I love you too, Grandad. Grandad, can we make sure we wash those mitts before you? And then you go back, you know, to cooking a beef bergen-on or something. Did you ever have braces or anything? No.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Your teeth are very straight. They're sort of in two bits, unfortunately. So they're not quite on it. You know, great teeth. I could have got, I was actually supposed to get braces. But then I cracked it at the orthodontist and said, I don't want to do this. And my parents were so lovely. We were like, well, if he doesn't want to do it, and the guy was furious.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Because he's a friend of my granddad. And I do regret it now. I'm a bit like, 13, I should have just done it. No, I don't know. They fully, they can really change the look of your head. Like, they change, because your head's still kind of developing. And do you think I'm happy with this? I wouldn't change the fucking hair on your head.
Starting point is 01:08:52 I had to get x-rays of my hands before getting braces on, because it showed them where I was in my growing, because I was 11 or 12. 11 when I got braces on. So they needed to see how much more growing I had to do. So the x-ray of my face and everything, but also my hands. There you go. That's interesting.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Well, you like that they're taking the care. Yeah, that's above and beyond. It feels like. Because I've got, yeah, I've got a friend who's like, regrets doing it's like really changed the way they look. Oh, they regret doing it. Interesting. And I've extrapolated that.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Maybe that's not common. I mean, it does change your face for sure. Like, you are like, like, Because the thing, they wanted to move my jaw a bit forward. It was a bit more than, I was like, just giving the braces. I'm a big cousin. Yeah, an expander that opened my, changed my jaw. Because at the time you told two years as a 13-year-old, that feels like forever.
Starting point is 01:09:45 That's it. Yeah, exactly. Now I'm like, two years is that all. Yeah. Anyhow. Wild stuff. Thank you so much for that question. Caitlin letting us go down memorabililine.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Yeah. Memory line. So I've just taken some painkillers. The last one this week comes from. Murray Somerville, who we just saw at the time of recording a few days ago. Yeah. That's right. Up in Brisbane, Murray, some people may have seen, his fantastic artwork that we've
Starting point is 01:10:10 used as stickers and also posters. Who knew it with Matt Stewart logo? That's right. And a few things he often posted in the Facebook Patreon group and we share some art that's been inspired by the week's episode. Great artist, great guy. He did one of my festival posters as well. Yes.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Yeah. I can't remember. Was it the bad book? boy one? No, it was ding. Ding. Ding. Yes, that was so good.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Yeah, his style was awesome. A.K. He's the best man. Re-badged. So, Murray has got the title of Triptitch Club, coach check attendant. I should just say, I try and say this sporadically,
Starting point is 01:10:48 we now know that I say triptych wrong. Dave taught it to me wrong. That's me, yes. Please don't have learned it. And some people have learned it and argued with people about it and been embarrassed.
Starting point is 01:10:59 It is really, Triptych, is that right, Dave? That's correct, which I didn't know for a long time was my Year 7 art teacher. Yeah. Sorry about that. So it goes a long way. That one mistake they made is really fucked. Really influential.
Starting point is 01:11:10 But it's also, like, we've made it our own. It is our own now. Triptych. Yeah, it belongs to us. It's a new word. New thing, new concept. Exactly. And Murray has a question as well.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Three questions today, which is, I recently had to give up three of my basic food groups in one hit. Oh. Oh. Oof. Oof. I hadn't seen Murray for a little while. I'm like, Murray,
Starting point is 01:11:33 you are looking fit. And he's like, yep, I've been working on it. And this probably links in. Alcohol, chocolate and coffee. Oof.
Starting point is 01:11:47 They're great food groups. Important food groups. Yeah, that is, yes, I've had all of those this week. Sorry, Murray to tell you that.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Why would I say that? Why would you? Why would I say that? Sorry, Mari. But I'm also nowhere near as fit as you are. God, he looks so good. Big, beautiful blue eyes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Remind me of The Simpsons and Homer's putting on weight. And he goes to Dr. Nick. And he has the nutritional pyramid. I just looked up here. There's the fats and the sweets, the whipped group, and the chuckle-tastic group. That's when he's trying to put on weight. Yeah. And he gets the movement.
Starting point is 01:12:28 And is that the one where he like, he only eats it if the food if it makes paper see-through? Yeah. They rub it on a wall and then a good stuff flies into the wall. Anyway, Murray says it was for health reasons and not going to lie, I thought giving up the coffee alone might end me. I've adjusted and actually feel better for it. But it got me wondering, what is the food or drink in your life that would be incredibly hard to give up? Well, I think yours are pretty similar to mine, Murray. I mean, I've given up booze a year at a time, a couple times, maybe three times. And it was hard, but it actually wasn't that hard.
Starting point is 01:13:11 It was hard at first, but very quickly got used to it. But I did find those times I did end up, for some reason, craving more chocolate and stuff. It was like filling the gap with a new thing. Yeah, replacing it with something else. Um, coffee I reckon I could, I could do. I do like coffees, but I only tend to have one every couple of days or something. Yeah, I don't know. Water?
Starting point is 01:13:34 I think that would be hard to get up. Water would be a tough one. For me, pies would be very difficult. It'd be part of my diet. Yes. Potato chips. Love those, my favourite snack. Oh, yeah, carbs would be hard.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Yeah, carbs in general. Like I had pasta, I ate probably two out of three days for dinner. Yeah. Italian. Italian. in blood. This is my blood type craves it. Same with me and potatoes.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just like, just in my blood. Well, I'll tell you what, because I got a lot of Irish heritage as well. Nocky. Fah. It's really, yeah. Nocky. Yeah, a bit of knock.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Knocky, yeah. Love a bit of knocky. How do you, how you meant to say it? Nocky. Yeah, you sound like a real fuckhead then. I'm bumy jane. You can't talk like that, mate. It's not on.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Yeah, I wouldn't give up coffee for shit. it. If the doctors were like, it's coffee or we'll take 10 years off your life. I'm like, fucking take it. Yeah. No, and it's not, I could go without it. I just enjoy it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:35 I like the ritual of it. I like the comfort of it. You could live twice as long if you just lie in this box and lick on this little dribble of water. And you're like, well, you know. Yeah. There's got to be a balance between enjoying life as well. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:14:53 But you'll live twice as long in the box. I don't give a shit. You get the little... You get to lick on the little dribbler. I'm here for a good... Everyone loves the dribbler. Okay, you get... Don't forget about the dribbler.
Starting point is 01:15:04 You get to lick on the dribbler. Huh? 150 years of dribbler. Okay. That's yours. And we feel that twice a day. So, you know... That's not a near constant stream of dribble.
Starting point is 01:15:20 A nutrient rich... Dribble. Dribble. Lick on the dribbler. You have a lick on the dribbler. dribbler. I reckon mine would be pies, chips and dribbler. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Could not give up the dribbler. Could not give up the dribbler? I think day to day I could give up, you know, like any one day it's easy not to have stuff. I don't tend to, I tend to sort of space stuff out anyway, but yeah, long term and it's often just the idea of you can't have it makes it, you're like, oh, but now I would really like to. Yeah, and I guess it's like never have it again. Cut right back is different. Oh, totally.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Same like, because I don't really, I reckon I probably have under 10 drinks a year. I reckon I'm being generous there too. Like, I don't drink alcohol. How many times do you have a lick of the dribble? A couple times a day, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I do like, I like a fizzy drink though. And so that's often a little treat.
Starting point is 01:16:15 But in my head, I'm like, well, I don't drink alcohol. Yeah. I can have a little fizzy? I think you have a little fizzy. A little sugar-free fizzy, don't mind if I do. Great question, Murray. and I'm having an attempt at a fitter year this year. I'm working more on exercise,
Starting point is 01:16:29 but I probably could tweak the diet a little bit as well. Trying to think about portion size of it. Because in the past, my pasta servings were, like, ridiculous. I'm trying to have just like a normal pasta serving when I would, I think I realize now I usually would have doubles. We'd have a family-sized serving. Yeah, yeah. You go out to a restaurant?
Starting point is 01:16:51 What the fuck is this? Three bits of passed on a point. Sorry, I didn't order the kids' pass. They're like, no, this is a normal adult, too. The fuck it is? I didn't order the kids' leftovers. The kids already had their fill. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:04 What's this shit? I don't want this. Thank you so much to Murray, Caitlin and Logan. Congratulations to all three of you on fantastic work individually. We're proud of you. Murray with the fitness. Caitlin was losing a wisdom teeth and getting a smooch. And Logan with dreaming of stealing animals.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Now, the next thing we like to do is shout out to a few of other great patron supporters. Jess only comes up with a game based on the topic. That's true, I do. And this topic was dumb criminals. Or criminal mischief. So I guess you could give them a... Give them a crime? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Or like a silly mistake they've made. Yeah, they're leaving their number. Yeah, okay. We're going to give them all a whoopsie. I think you're going to be really good at that, Jess. So I reckon Dave, you give it the place. I'll give the name. Jess gives the whoopsie.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Okay, no key. I'd like to, first of all, get my list ready. Okay, how about I do the place you do the name? Okay, fantastic. I'm ready. Well, I'd like to firstly thank from address, I can only assume, from deep within the fortress of the moles. I'd like to thank, I'd just have a bit of a run up here.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Blue Fox 17 Barrera, Fox Belt, P-H-X, maybe, Blue Fix 17. Blue Phoenix, I think sometimes that's sure. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. Blue Phoenix 17, Barreira. The whoopsie they made is a waiter put down their meal for them and said, enjoy your meal. And they said, you too. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:18:31 So, embarrassing. They ended up dining and dashing just to get away from that. I was going to say, they had to kill the waiter. Yeah. I can't get that out. So embarrassing. Next up from Pots Town in Pennsylvania in the United States. It's Victoria Ramelius.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Victoria picked up the wrong suitcase on. at the airport. Oh. And then... Unlucky, though. Identical? Got it back to the hotel and was like, why is it my code working?
Starting point is 01:19:00 So they naturally broke in. And then there was gold in there. And they thought, well, I'm not returning this. So, yeah, that is a... It's an accidental crime. Dumb luck criminal. It's, yeah. Well, the accidental crime is the first bit,
Starting point is 01:19:15 but the real crime is when they didn't return it. Yeah, it's an opportunistic crime. Next up, again, from address unknown, is she mean from deep within the fortress of the malls? We've got H-D-N-E-V-S, H-D-N-E-V-S, H-D-N-E-V-S, or H-D-E-N-E-N-Eves. I'm not sure how we say this, but I like it. I don't, I love it. Just what about for them? They realized they were about to miss their exit on a motorway, and so they cut across four lanes of traffic,
Starting point is 01:19:48 and inadvertently caused a five-car pile-up. Whoa. But they did make the exit. I think that might relate to like a fat quota question for the last couple of weeks. Someone said, what really pisses you off? Or what really boils your beans?
Starting point is 01:20:04 Remember that? Yes, boils your beans, yep. Oh, Dave wasn't here for that, I reckon. Oh, yeah. And their example was people who just just go for it. Yeah. And that was, I was saying it then based on an experience
Starting point is 01:20:17 of driving home from here yesterday. today. Oh, wow. Somebody, I was on Hoddle Street of all fucking places to just stop in the middle of the, she kept coming over into my lane. So I had to slam on the brakes. Then she just stopped. What?
Starting point is 01:20:29 And then got a little toot from me and another car who were going. You farted at her. Yeah, farted at her because I was so scared. And she kept going. But she gave the wave and I was like, no, no, actually, this is one instance where the wave is not enough. Really? Yeah, I don't forgive the wave. The wave cures all for me.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Normally, but not that. was crazy. Anyway. Sounds like your beans were well and truly boiling. It's a boiled bean. From a Guelph in Oregon, Ontario, Canada. The Guelph is so good. Guelph is fantastic.
Starting point is 01:21:01 It's Emily Ward. Emily, what did Emily do? She dropped an entire tray of pint glasses at the pub. No. As a waiter or as a punter? Punter. Why do you? she have that whole tray.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Nobody knows. So she hadn't just ordered them and was bringing them over. They were empty glasses. And she just dropped them all. And then in a panic, picked up the biggest shud she could and killed a bunch of people with it. It was pretty long. See, that is, you've just made it worse. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Sometimes you've got to cut your losses. Not cut. Yeah. Oh, God. Sometimes you've got to stab you way out. No, no, no, no. Figure speech, figure speech. Is it a figure of speech?
Starting point is 01:21:46 Should be. from address. Unknown once again. Shimon again, probably dead within the fortress of the moles. This is Jackson Talent, or it's got a double else. It could be Jackson Taulant. I'm going on the Taulent. But there's a Tollent.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Tollent. Jackson Tollent. Jackson used the last of the toilet paper. Where did he get your idea? And then did something happen? No. That's the crime. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:18 It's more of a social faux par, isn't it? You said all didn't replace it. You got to replace it. And didn't warn the person, this is it a public bathroom, didn't warn the next person going into that cubicle? That's fucked Jackson. You got to say, oh, the toilet peppers out of that one. This is way worse than Emily who's stabbed a bunch of people with glass.

Starting point is 01:22:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a bad one, Ray. Yeah. Ray, we're not going to lie about this. Yeah, that's a bad one. Ray, I think you are looking at jail time. I don't think we call that one a whoopsie. And you are talking about the crime, not the game.
Starting point is 01:23:13 Yeah. Yeah. The actual crime. Yeah, that is. Got the inspiration from. the game, sure. But. He's like, wait,
Starting point is 01:23:19 that's not the lesson to take away from it. What, officer? Oh, it's fine when I do it at home, is it? And now when I do it out here, and a bit of fresh air, you know, brought the kids, giving them an outing. Oh, now it's illegal.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Well, I've got no idea what's up and down now, officer. I'm just waiting for it, mate. From Chesapeake in Virginia, in the United States. We have. Oh, no, you want? No, I love it, but I want you to say it. Okay, it's shuffle. Shuffle.
Starting point is 01:23:55 So shuffle. From Chesapeake. Bought a movie ticket. Went into the wrong cinema. Oh, no. And then, but it was like, by the time they realized they're in the wrong cinema, they'd, the movie had started and they didn't want to disrupt people around them. So they just sat and watched a movie.
Starting point is 01:24:14 The wrong one, though. Oh, no. Shuffle. A bit of a whoopsy. Yeah. Oh, shuffle. No crime involved. That one, just a whoopsie.
Starting point is 01:24:22 They don't have to pay again another time to see the movie they wanted to see. It would be a crime if they snuck from that movie to another because now they've technically got at least half a free movie. But that's not what happened. They didn't do that. No, it's just a whoopsie. On your shuffle. On your shuffle. At least their story anyway.

Basically, our clubhouse. It's a bit of theatre of the mind where people who have been supporting the show on the shoutout level or above for three consecutive years.

Starting point is 01:28:28 I've got the clipboard. I've got six names on the list. Dave's MCing the night. He always emcees the party. We do a party every week inducting in new members. And Dave also books a band. Jess is behind the bar. normally comes up with a fun cocktail based on the topic as well.
Starting point is 01:28:45 Did you do that this week? No. No. And Dave, the band, the band you booked. You're never going to believe this because I did my job. Yeah. I always do my job. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Well, I think in a lot of ways, Jess not doing her job is doing us a bit of a favor because she's been dishing up some real dog shit poison stuff like this. Yeah. Like a lot of hot slop. Yeah. Hot slop. Yeah. It started off she was making really nice cocktails.
Starting point is 01:29:11 And at some point, it almost felt like... Have you guys forgotten No, I'm here? Oh, sorry. You asked, yeah. Sorry. He didn't do your job. Wait, is that, Jim? Oh, I've booked.

Starting point is 01:30:02 Whoa, whoa, and then what was yesterday? Oh, Jess would then normally, normally, yes. Uh, you know, give Dave a bit of hype because he's, come on. His character in the section. which is ridiculous obviously because real Dave has no self-doubt at all. But in this section, Dave... Have you ever doubted yourself?
Starting point is 01:30:22 Oh, if you have to think about it. Sorry, keep going back. I was relieved the time I found out in Queensland that I was one year too young to go skydiving with my dad and sister. And I doubted that I could do it. And then when they said you doubt it, you could fall out of a plan. And when they said I wasn't allowed, I inside was like, thank God.
Starting point is 01:30:42 But outwardly was like, oh, come on. Oh, great. No. Oh, so disappointing. We'll never come back here. We never did. Thank God for that. Well, we should go up and do that, Dave.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Now that we know that you were shared, you were shared your mission. Shared you. Okay, so here we go. First, oh, yeah, Dave's got low self-esteem in this part of the show, a little fit of the mind. And Jess hops in my place on that. Although he sort of has been a bit rude to her, so maybe she won't.
