I'm here with, well I'm here by myself actually because I'm here actually sitting in the studio in Dave Warnocky's chair So I feel a little bit bad

Because I am but those guys aren't here because I'm I'm here to tell you that We've just done another Well, I've episode at the Imperial hotels part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Which was a lot of fun. So I'm just insowing that now which was a lot of fun. So I'm just insowing that now by myself, which jeez, without them raining me in, who knows what kind of madness I could get up to here. It actually feels quite weird speaking into the mic in a room by myself. That's all right. I hosted this one this week. I was the report giver and it was quite a bit of fun. Before we get into that I shall let you know next week there is one final episode or this week coming, this Sunday

coming if you're just listening to this, the week it came out at the Imperial Hotel again and we've got a special guest so there will be four of us this week. I wonder if you guess who that is. I'm a bit sick in this week's episode and still am now. So how about hashtag pray for Matt for once? Hey, how about that? I bet I won't get that trending because you guys don't give a fuck about me like you do about Jess, but that's okay.

I'm cool with that. I've sort of resigned myself to that fact. What a sad start to the show. Sorry about everyone, I know you care and I appreciate that. Yeah, big episode this week. Anyway, I don't know if there's anything else I need to tell you before getting into the episode I'll check back in at the end thanks for listening I love you

hello Hello! Hey guys! Everyone, welcome down to DoGoOnLive at the Melbourne Comedy Festival week three! How you doing? I had not noticed this is an aircon right there. It's cold. Thank you for respectfully leaving two rows as we do prefer. Yes, it is Easter Sunday, so our son of respect. Three two rows. The father of the son and the Holy Spirit.

Yeah, you are the Holy Spirit. Matt, how are you? You're in a chad jumper. Yeah, I'm not feeling very good. He's fine. When is that your go-to stance? When you're not feeling good, you put on a jumper. Yeah, especially when you're positioning right underneath the air conditioning. I've got a cold, I told you that.

And then you made me sit right underneath the air, anyway. It's fine, but... I feel like it's a terribly placid air conditioning. Can anyone in the audience, the hottest part because you are rent hot by the way Can anyone feel that air conditioning stop hitting on the audience? Oh you can See you should have the front rows up the back you can burn for all like here whatever you made your choice I'm not the back who want to move forward. There's literally six seven seats at the front if you want to move if not totally fine It's the hot section up is where the action is at.

If you really want to get in the pod. In the pod. It's like going to this. There's a C-ride here and Dave will probably touch you if you sit there. He will definitely touch you. I promise not to touch you. I make no promises.

I'm also really unwell. Now I'm just hung over. I was dancing really unwell. No, I'm just hungover. I was dancing till 4am. I am Sprat, I went to bed at 10 o'clock last night. Let me hear it for sleep! Yeah, that's right, you will rest it because you're using the bands to sleep in the house. It's going to be a big Sunday. It is the long weekend in Melbourne, but comedy never sleeps.

Comedy never sleeps. Does anyone know the footy school? The Saints are on at the moment. Anyone? They're down. Okay. Great. You saw them eye.

You really could have lied just to pep him up because he is doing the report today. So you've probably just ruined the show. I don't want to put that on your show. I did well the Saints did that, didn't they? Yeah, the Saints did that. Oh wow. okay. I'm good. Let's do it. Alright. Podcast trivia. Alright. Question one. Okay. Give me a round of applause if you have heard the podcast before.

This is good. Okay, Front Row, you're very brave and have you heard the podcast before? Not what? No, not once! Never! I refuse! You have a lot of faith, thank you very much! What brought you here then? Ah, very cool! Oh, you're a sister. Ah, very cool sister. Am I right? Am I guessing that right?

I got it right! You should have seen her face. She was like, yes, she is cooler than me. I'm a lamb, but I'm trying, and that's why I'm here today. She said that with her eyes. Alright. You read a lot into that. Have you just lost faith in us?

Slightly. Give me a round of applause, Eva. Like I've read in the front row, you have never heard the show before. Do you have this? Awesome. At the front row, you have never heard the show before. Do you have others? Awesome. At the front, this is amazing. People are in the back that have heard every episode 10 times. They feel more comfortable with their eyes closed, you know. They're on the tram. I don't want us to be real people.

Sorry. If you haven't heard the show before, I hope you at least vaguely know what it is. What happens is one of us is going to do a report on a topic. It's me. This week it is. What happens is one of us is going to do a report on a topic. It's me. This week it is Matt and some of you probably know what the topic is going to be because I imagine some of you support our Patreon, do you? That's what I'm talking about, all right. They don't know, they know the options. Oh so they don't know the results, so they would have known the options because what we do is with Matt's topics, he throws them out onto Patreon and all our subscribers get to, on there get to vote for the topic they'd like Matt to do.

And Matt, have they chosen wisely? Just for the people who are new to the show, a lot of it is just admin. We just sort of, a lot of explaining things that go, we'll reference ourselves a lot and then yeah, that will wrap it up soon after that. So that is a pretty fun time. If you're into admin and we are big time. And stats. It's a fact slash admin based podcast. Can I just should I? Yeah, please. So at the the planet broadcasting launch,

I ran into a listener named Harrison, and he was like, oh, there's not enough Australian topics. All right, that's what he said to me is, can we do some more Australian topics? And I told him my first ever report was actually about Australian rules football, right? And he goes, yeah, yeah, but apart from that. And I was like, oh, my second report was about the Australian explorer's Birken wheels. And he goes, yeah, sure apart from that.

And I said, oh, I've also done episodes on Triple J's hottest 100 Stephen Bradbury, The Wiggles, The Great Emu War. And he said, yeah, of course, but, apart from that. And I said, oh, I've also said on episodes on Triple J's hottest 100, Stephen Bradbury, The Wiggles, The Great Emu War. And he said, yeah, of course, but you know, apart from that. So I said, oh yeah, yeah, apart from that. Good point. So this week, the three suggestions I took out of the hat were all Australian topics. And I put them up to the vote.

And these are the topics. And I guess my question you is which one did they vote for? Okay, we have to go into the mind of the listener. Option number one, Nick Cave. I'm in a couple of... We were one time we had a listener comment on our Facebook page and they wrote Nick Cave meaning Nick Cage and I thought that they were doing a hilarious joke.

And they were like, sorry, I don't know who Nick Cave is. So, it was just a typo. What a fun story Dave. Thank you so much for sharing. We have some ports for Dave's fun story. Thank you. Thank you. Good job Dave.

Option number two, Steve Irwin. Oh, okay. Okay, the crocodile hunter. Right, one time there was this common in our place. Oh my God. Tom was made a hilarious joke. And I thought they were saving Steve Perwin. They meant Nick Cave.

hilarious. Dave Warnak here everybody. Thank you. And option number three, Veggie Mite. Oh. The enemy of all tourists. I mean, those celebrities come out here, they're like, you must try Veggie Mind, you must.

And they're always just like, eh. Eh. Sorry, Dave. What do they like? Eh. Ah. That's, that's my impression of all celebrities. I think it's Veggie Mind similar to the other two.

You got to, you got to grow up with them to understand them, I think. Do you think? Yeah, but I would say that out of the three, there's one that I think would appeal to our overseas listeners the most. OK. So it's what I would have picked purely for the stats for our overseas listeners to appeal.

Yes. There's a lot of letters on it. But I don't know, maybe the picture on people don't know. You're going to say it out loud. Do you want to tell them what you think he are? Nick Cage. I mean, if you ask me what I'd say Steve Irwin, I think. Jess?

I would also say Steve Irwin. Yes, you guys are correct. From the 152 votes 25 went for Nick cave 51 for Vegemite 78 for Steve Irwin's over 50% that's maths. I'd look that up on a calculator That's what you do on a calculator. I looked it up on yeah, so I Looked it up on the calculator like Google. I'm a little I'm a little sick this so this topic was suggested by a couple of people, Cameron via Twitter at camyabba and calumbw on the email. Oh, on the email.

They both sound like true blue Aussie Patriots. Camyabba. Yeah. Yeah, but do as we say here in Australia Okay, well, I'm gonna forge on Steve Irwin. I was a wildlife conservationist Good start a zoo owner Television personality educator and most famously a crocodile hunter I've never heard of him. Oh well. Hang around. Hang around.

Stephen Robert Irwin, full name, was born to parents linen bob in Essendon, which is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Okay, you guys here will be fascinated to learn that. It was on the 22nd of February 1962. Essendon, as you guys will know, is the team that won the first VFL Australian rules football premier show. I'm just linking it back to a past episode, right? But it's also the suburb of Melbourne that Birkenwills camped in on the first night of

the exhibition. Okay. It's a hotbed, Essendon. It's a sacred suburb of Dugo on. Steve's family were right into native Australian animals. They were bloody right into them, you know. You try to imply that there's something untoward going on between the Irwin family

and these native animals? No. They were right into them. They were right into them. Particularly reptiles. And Steve was actually given a 12-foot python for his sixth birthday. Sixth birthday. Oh, it sounds like you're saying it like Python for his sixth birthday. Sixth birthday.

Oh, it sounds like you're saying it like I do. Sixth. Sixth. Dave, have a go. Sixth. Is that right? Yes. That's all right.

Feels right. It's all right. This is just like in the studio where I'm going to keep trying to start a sentence. I'm going to interrupt you constantly. In 1970 when... Sixth. So, fuck. So that one up. trying to start a sentence and I'm gonna interrupt you constantly in 1971 so fuck so that one up alright in 1971 Steve was still quite young the family moved from Victoria to Queensland where his parents founded the B.W.A. Reptile Park B.W.A. How do you spell B.W-A. B-W-A. Ah. Oh. Yeah.

As a boy, Steve would head out to the Queensland Outback with his old man, Bob, to help trap Lizard, Snakes, and Crocodiles to take back to their park. Isn't Bob a good dad name? Is a good dad name. Anybody's dad's name, Bob? Disappoint. Oh, right, hang on there.

It's not my hands. It's not my hands, I'm not. That was a pity hand. Your dad is not a good dad. Oh, your dad's not a good dad. a pity hand, your dad is not good. Oh, your dad's ever above. But thank you so much for having my back. Unlike the rest of you jerks. Nah. That was quite proud of it that most of nearly

all the reptiles in their park were captured by them by hand. Oh, I guess so. So that's quite proud that they had taken some animals that were once roaming free. Yeah. But now inside a small container. Yeah, they were proud of that. I imagine that. But now, inside a small container. Yeah, they were proud of that.

I imagine that the whole zoo was inside something that could fit under Steve's bed. Like a show and tell project. The over-the-top, there's like several hundred crocodiles inside. Many animals died. But I'll let Matt tell you about it. Many animals died. That's topic well. At the fledgling park, there's some time in the studio while I'll have about four or

five cracks at a word. But I don't have that luxury here today. At the fledgling park, a young Irwin became increasingly involved in the day to day operations, taking on jobs such as feeding the animals, and also some maintenance tasks. So, it is a pretty interesting report so far. There's the admin. But there's more.

He also accompanied his dad on expeditions for the East Coast Crocodile Management Program, which was a government... Crocodile management. Imagine. I'm the boss of all the crocodiles. No, I'm imagining a business school for crocodiles, and they're all wearing ties. That is pretty good. It's a fun place I went in my head.

I wish you all could have been there. You just can't. It was a government funded program intending to reduce crocodile hunting by relocating them to less populated areas. So to reduce crocodile hunting and this man would grow up to be the crocodile hunter? The irony is there, I suppose.

If you look hard enough, which you did. But each of them from these populated areas to other places, such as his park, less populated only unless you're talking about tourists. And then it's quite populated. But I guess, anyway, apparently, some of you catch phrases anyway. Apparently, on one of these outings at age nine, Steve wrestled his first crocodile.

That's a classic ride of passage. At nine, yes. For an Aussie boy? I did it at seven, so. Jess, how old were you when you were a young boy that wrestled a crocodile? Five. Oh, that is young. Thank you.

Crocodile prodigy. Yeah. I'm the toughest one on this podcast. I will kill both of you. She will. He did it by jumping on its back, right? And on one of these sources I read it said, a technique he used many more times through his career.

Oh, jump on their back. Not somehow jumping on their front. He just moved on. I'm on top of their feet. I am essentially hunting a crocodile. Dave. Sorry, everyone. I want to have fun plays in my head just then. I wish you could all have been it. It's Easter Sunday. Come on.

We've got the seats of respect. We can say whatever we want. As Steve grew older, he continued to work with the East Coast Crocodile Management Program. And into his early 20s, Steve started to work with him on his own. And for months at a time, he would live in the bush by himself just hanging out with crocodiles, just months and years at a time. Just living amongst the crocodile.

Just living in the bush amongst the crocodiles by himself.. Bloody character. Sometimes he would get a little bit lonely. He's saying your face. I don't want to know. I want to go and ask you the question. Is that my face when I have sex with a crocodile? Oh, with a crocodile, that's right there. I'm experimenting to my brain, sorry everybody. So during these years, I spent out in the bush alone with the crocs. Just teaching and management skills. He also learned a lot about the craft of catching crocs, one thing I would say, which is a

little bit different from other people's craft anoons, I guess. His craft an oons I guess his craft an oons. Croc he uh... Big fans of craft. Big fans. In 1991 at the age of 29 Steve took over the BYUA park from his parents. And once again how do you spell BYUA? It's B.

BWRBYUA. Okay. WAA. No, no, no, I can't. It was an important question and worth following up on. Is that a capital B? Yes. Other.

You know. After taking over the following year, you quickly made his mark by changing its name to the Australia Zoo. Which is what it's famously known as now. Who professed that name? Beer Warr. That seems more Australian. Beer Warr is cool over here. Somehow than the Australian Zoo. Cut those more.

Every week. Every week. In 1991 he also met an American traveler named Terry Reigns. Reigns. That's a great name. Reigns. It's a good name. No one's on board. No.

Reigns. I'll say it more. Terry Reigns. Oh, come on. That's in successive. We should enter our show like that. I'm actually if we called the police. Someone is being murdered and extorted. But we record the whole thing.

He's so good. And then they're like, hey, do you guys know who called the police? We're like, no. You guys that have our backs, right? Oh, I don't buy that. They would not. That throws under the bus. You're all snitches.

Anyway, Terry Reigns. Yeah, so he met her in 1991 when she came to visit the zoo. Reigns was an American business woman from Eugene Oregon. Eugene Oregon. I've heard that. I love it. I'm not a good name. I'm not a good name. I'm not a good name. I've heard that. I love it. Some of the bad it. I really love. You guys are easily impressed with names.

Wow, Jane. Oh, you Jane. Oh, that's a place though. Called you Jane. You went in press with a place called B.O.A. Still another player. Still another. The Eugene.

Eugene Oregon. No, I don't really does something for me. Cool. Still another player. The Eugene. Eugene Oregon. No, I don't really. It really does something for me. Cool. Back home, Ryan's father ran a trucking company where she had also worked. She was learning the skills of managing a large business.

That large business being the trucking company that I just mentioned. But not, sorry, just to clarify, not managing crocodiles. No, more. Not teaching crocodiles management. No, not, it was just... Interesting. Just the truck stuff. Not the leadership development program for young up and coming crocodiles.

Who we see potential in? I wish it was now, I really do.? Wish it was now, I really do. I wish it was also. I mean, I never let me down more than with this report right now. I mean, the report doesn't like exclusively say that she only did trucking. It's possible. Yeah, okay. I'm willing to rule that in.

That's all it is. Her father ran a trucking and large crocodile management teaching university company. Thank you. Where she had worked, learning the skills of managing a large business, including crocodile management and double Windsor knots on crocodiles. Yeah, you got to know, they got thick necks. They don't have big old necks. I think you've got to get custom made ties.

It's in some ways they're all neck. It's a long neck. That's beautiful Dave. In some ways they're all neck. I'm putting that on a t-shirt. I'm going to crack it over the really, really long neck. But then he's gonna tie. Just right at the bottom. Just above his little arms. I'm having a good time.

We, uh, we know a lot about crocodiles. Long neck. Umbs. Green? Wait, I think... Matt, do go on. No, I wasn't, I wasn't enjoying that. You weren't. Your face said, shut the fuck up, you idiots. I was thinking about the saints. Any updates on the...

Okay, can I get... This is Jess's iPad. Can I get footy schools on this? No. Terry's dad often... That was easy. Terry's dad often brought home injured animals. He found along the highways that his trucks traveled down. Where they ever crocodiles.

Doesn't say that they weren't. So we don't know for sure. So yes. And this has been seen to be where her passion for the animal sort of kicked off. In the 1980s, Terry started a rehab facility called Cougar Country. It was just for old ladies who had a taste for younger men. Yes. No, that's an academy I want to be a part of.

We'll teach you how to get them. Alright, go to a lectured print and low cut. I think it's a reality TV show. Cougar Country. I like it. I'm starring Terry Rains. That's my future. But running the or being part of the Cougar Country. Both. Well, if I'm running it, I'm part of it, aren't I, DeKid?

That's why you are an entrepreneur. That's why I understand crocodile business management. Am I far away? I feel like I'm so you're very far but I move forward so that I could see you better But now I feel like now I feel like I'm over here like Like having a good time. It's like you're over there playing keyboard Anyway Anyway, Matt's the lead singer, please sing on. There we go, there we go. Also at this KUGIG country thing as well as doing the stuff that you were just saying. You were not listening.

She also, she was also there to re-educate and release predatory mammals such as foxes, possums, raccoons, bears, bobcats, and of course, cougars. Ah! Elderly ladies, you got lost in the wilderness. And send them back into the wild, yeah. I don't know what the reeducation involved in exactly, what in reeducation? Just giving them a compass.

I think, yeah, it's weird, like, saying don't be predators, but that would just be sending them out to their death, wouldn't it? So I guess it's just educating them on... Management skills. Management skills, yeah. How to better manage... How to manage self-esteem. Self-esteem. Hey, believe in yourself.

Bobcat. I think that Bobcat was Bobcat gold plate as well. That was just before he went into the police academy. Franchise. Okay. Go on to Terry Reigns. She also worked as a vet technician. She had like a hundred jobs. She was bloody busy. I'd said that somewhere. I read it. Real busy, a real busy body in terms of having a lot to do, which is a different meaning to the...

That face that you're just witnessed is my favorite face on this planet. It's Matt's regret face. It's so good. It's a... We're not... We see it a lot. So much. Now you'll be able to hear it.

You know what I mean? What it is. But not so busy that she didn't have time to pop down to Australia to check out some of our wildlife. Pop down. Pop down. Pop down. She's on a little holiday.

She wanted to check out some, you know, some Australian. Some Australian. Fauna and fa forna you pause too long there Forna and forna forna just to emphasize she really likes forna There it is that's another version of the regret face Flora and forna and forna as well. She was under learning the forna and fauna as well. She was under learning the fauna. While she was on the sunshine coast visiting a friend, she decided to check out Steve's park.

Are you winking at me? There's a never-sweet. Wink it, wink it. There we go. What do you mean by check out Steve's park? Does a B-A- wild park mean anything to you? No. B-E.

Apparently they met while Steve was doing one of his daily crock feeding demonstrations. A scenario straight out of a romance novel. It's what I've written here. how I dream of meeting my future man. It's just a little too cliché, really. Yeah, I know. It's just been young. The couple got engaged four months later. Oh wow.

That's a quick, what do you call that? It's caught ship. So, what do you call it? You nailed it. Good. I just think that's quick, but I think that's nice as well. They knew. They knew.

When you know, you know. You know? Is anyone known? Just so. When you know, you know. Anyone out there known? No, interesting. It's a lonely audience we've got in today.

Oh, sorry. Lonely podcast. Those are our people. Lonely people. We're lonely as well. They were married in 1992 on the 4th of June, just the next year. So you know, it got a done pretty quickly. Terry left her American life behind, including her family's business,

her rehab center, and her vet work. She left it all, including the crocodile management and the Cougar country old lady thing. Terence Steve had a great time on their honeymoon. Terence Steve had a great time on their honeymoon. Oh, that was better. And they filmed a lot of their shenanigans. Oh, did that? Steve's part.

Oh. a lot of their shenanigans. Oh did that. Oh Steve's part. I filmed their honeymoon shenanigans. Are they honeymoon shenanigans? Terry don't come in. I'm in here. What a way to find out. I've taken a long walk. That's why you shouldn't get engaged so early. Yeah, you've got to figure these things out about someone. Yeah, get on out those different things. When you think you know, but you don't know everything. Does he fart crocodiles? You got to find out.

Where did they go on there, honeymoon? They went there, went out, out and about. And no questions, play. Well, what sort of internet says Steven Terry had a great time on the honeymoon? The honeymoon shenanigans were a little different to my that they were

on their honeymoon they got up to a little bit of old-fashioned crocodile hunting. Oh If you know what I mean, I've written here and I think you do. I just mean yeah just going out and hunting crocodiles. So he's left his job as a crocodile hunter to go on holiday as a crocodile hunter. It's crazy. I really like this. I've read a bunch off the end. There's an article on the encyclopedia Britannicus. It's not hugely in depth, but this line I feel like was very insightful about the honeymoon, about the honeymoon and then recording the stuff there it said This is from the encyclopedia Britannica. So it's obviously a good source

Irwin recorded some of his exploits on tape using a video camera mounted on a tripod That was I was about ten percent of the whole page About Steve Irwin's life. Was mentioning that the camera was mounted on a tripod. Oh, cool. Thank you, and thank you for pediaprotanica. Back to Wikipedia, I go. It's one of the few things that set him apart as a crocodile hunter. He thought to use a tripod.

Every other crocodile hunter just had it on the floor and was just filming the ground. And he'd get us here a guy going, oh, I've got him, got him on the net, yeah, alright. And then they come back and it's really worthless footage. It's just the sand. Yeah. You put that on a tripod. You're going to get, I imagine, office from the Discovery Channel pretty quick. You are not far off.

You are not with it. I am not wrong. I'm not OK. I think that's fair to say.

The Britannica did go on to say that Steve was hired as a consultant for a television commercial,

not long after this, and he showed some of the tapes. He showed the commercial of people how to put a camera on top of the tripod. It blew their minds. That was very impressive. Do you remember in 1992 when ads in Australia started to be visible? Well, that was him. That was him. He did visible. That was him. He did that.

That was him. Yeah, thanks Steve. So he was hired as a consultant on a television commercial. And he showed some of the tapes to a producer at Australia's Channel 10 network in Australia. And they immediately suggested turning them into a documentary. Pause for a second.

Hold for applause. Mentioned the word documentary, they're gonna lose their mind. The result of which was the crocodile hunter. Oh! Which first aired in Australia in 1992. Mm-hmm. It's like his documentary show. And did they use the footage from the that you might not be right. I'm not sure about you

It aired on TV though And but did they use the footage that he'd already shot or the refill? No, I was that was including yes some of the bed other honey Some of the bedroom footage some of the honey moon It's a great show, but we've only got five out of six episodes. We just need another half an hour footage. Don't worry, Terry and I've got this. Submit a personal tape.

The sixth episode, number six, is very different for the first five. No crocodile hunting at all. Just crocodile burning. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It was a success, eh? The bining. Yes, he... Aborted that sentence. It was a success sentence. Oh boy, it was a success which led to further documentaries being made and eventually a series

being commissioned. And four years later, 996 the show was picked up by the Animal Planet Channel of the Discovery Network in the United States of America. I've heard of it. Which is called The Big Time Somewhere. And that's when things really started to take off for the crocodile hunter. Did anyone around in the 90s hear? Did you hang on a sec? Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Hang on a sec, I'm looking, yeah, I reckon they all were, yeah. No, it's up, but does anyone remember? I don't remember him in the early to mid 90s at all. Does anyone remember? He didn't exist here, really. You were busy, you know, being 112. That's true, I mean, obviously I had things to do. I don't know what else you were doing.

But I just don't remember him being around at all Anyway, is anyone? No cool. It's a way. I think it was big It was a lot bigger. It was bigger in America than he was in Australia for a long time. Just like Nick K Well, not America but the UK so that wasn't reliable at all Look Sometimes the thought pops into your mind, and then you say it out loud. And now I'm crashing my car.

I'm crashing my car. But what I'm trying to say is bigger overseas. Much like Veggie Mart, no. Much like this podcast. Actually true, actually true. At its peak, Steve Irwin's TV shows were shown in more than 100 countries. That's awesome.

Guam. Puerto Rico. Etc. Some sources... That's another of those countries. No, fuck. I didn't you say territories of America? Some sources actually said more than 200 countries.

Are there even that many countries, Dave? Yes, yes, there are. Okay, good. America? Of course. Some sources actually said more than 200 countries. Are there even that many countries, Dave? Yes, yes there are. Okay, good. It's most of them. Okay, yeah, so it's big.

Real big. Audiences were in the multi-multimillions, which is a lot of millions, and people really loved watching Irwin's dangerous encounters with snakes, spiders, lizards, and crocodiles from the title of his show. And over his career he was bitten many times, often on camera. I don't know if you've seen any of these. One of the ones that I watched, which is really great, which I'll post during the week. It was so much fun. There's this video when he was on Australian Kids TV show. The snake's like wrapped around his neck and leading up to the bite. This is what he was saying, right? It's so fun. He goes, I'm not scaring him. So he won't bite and he hasn't got venom and that's the python. Like almost gibberish, but it's, it's just like all these fragmented centers

so much fun, I got to start from the beginning. I'm not scaring him, so he won't bite me and he hasn't got venom and that's the Python, but it's very difficult in, from a distance to tell a Python from a, ah, we might have to cut it. It's biting my neck. I'm serious. But it was a little monitor like he was so chilled out about it. But he's, we might have to cut here. It's biting me now. It was so good.

I got to. We might have to cut. I can't reach the tripod. Yeah, that's the best thing about him. Oh no, he did a lot of good things in the community as well, but fuck that was funny. Erwin nearly always got about in his trademark khaki shorts and shirt. You probably know that sort of his classic outfit. And he's uh, he's traimed it khaki khaki.

How do you say that in a row? khaki khaki khaki khaki Baba does. Steve what are you going to wear today? My khaki and my matching tucky. We might have to cut, it's a little too tight. It's taking out the circulation to my neck. So that was kind of, that was what he became famous

for in a lot of ways, was his, apart from his attitude and just like his love of the dangerous. Oh, come on. I can't even imagine, I can't even think of a time I ever saw Steve Irwin outside of the cookie. I know, now I'm imagining him wearing a suit and it's very funny. So it's still cookie.

I wish you could all come with me where I am in my head, but it's very good, it looks like he's going to court. He's been sued by a snake. And the snake is wearing a tie because he went to a subsidiary of the management school for crocodiles. In some way, a snake is all neck. Please do go on that. Absolutely. You broke the tick guy.

Hey, Webby, remember the time he said, he's a world dick. He's dead now. He's done. So if we can't... He's having an asthma problem. I'm so sorry. It's not good. So, him and his khakis

became so entrenched in popular culture and he started turning up on all sorts of TV shows. Didn't you remember him on any? Yeah, like late night. Like late night. Yeah, he was on, I don't know. He appeared in Heaps of Times on Lennon Show on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno like multiple times also on late night with Conan O'Brien.

He was on the Oprah Winfrey show. He was on Rove Live. You get a snake. You get a snake. You get a snake. Everybody gets a snake! It's my Oprah impression. It's pretty damn good. Thank you. Now what's your Rove Live? So I say hi to your snake mum for me. LAUGHTER

All neck. It's funny when he says it, isn't it? He was also on Wiggly Safari, which was a Wiggly's special. Like he was on a whole episode. As himself. Get out of town. No, no, shit, yeah. He's jumping on door of these back.

Oh, God, I- Oh, fuck, God, I- Trying to just put it on his suit. Look at my face. It'd be funny if I didn't put it on his suit. And-and there you. This is a serious topic. Bannas showing heroes. Sorry. You've started to get a little too silly there. I'm sorry, everybody. And there you, this is a serious topic, about an Australian hero. Sorry.

You started to get a little too silly there. I'm sorry everybody, you had to see that. So yeah, we did a Wiggles topic in the past, right? So he's connected to a few of them. He's also connected to the Simpsons. They paroded him on an episode when they had a little snippet of a show called The Gator Beta. And he just got eaten alive.

And Bart was disappointed that he... Sounds like he's wanking off the alligator. The Gator Beta. And what, oh, a beta like this? The alligator masturbator. You've had to do a fair bit of work there. Well... It...

So, it is the Gatorbait. It takes a long time. It was also paraded on South Park. They had Erwin jumping on Crocs and putting his thumb up their butts. So, and this is the only way, this will really piss him off. And this is the only way you can really learn about a crocodile is when they're pissed off. So it's a pretty fun parody. It's putting his thumb up there, but, you see. Which is a lot, which seems, you know,

I'm into that as an idea. As an idea, obviously. It's not all king. I will not. I'm just really distracted by these two rows of chairs and that they're like that one in particular, is like Jess length. And I can just really distracted by these two rows of chairs and that there like that one in particular is like Jess length And I could just have a little idea do it that chords got length Anyway, do go on that chords all neck

So I'm a little like a joke isn't it? He was also seen on the big screen with a cameo as himself in Eddie Murphy's Dr. Do Little Two. Familiar with that one? Yeah Dr. Do Little Two this time it's person. I don't know if it made it. Dr. Do Little Two back in the habit. Put a cross over that one. Back in the habit is my go-to for any any sequel. It's the best sequel my go-to for any sequence. It's the best sequence.

I saw Train Spotting to the other day. I was like, ah, Train Spotting to back in the habit. That works. Ah, that's very good. That's very good. That's very good. Days trying to do drugs. Oh, no, no.

It's given some aristic. What I'm doing there is I'm tying a belt around my upper arm, and then I'm tapping my lower arm to make my vein pop here I've done heroin many times police You do have the physique of a heroin man Is heroin chic? Also, we have a mention this today, but you love Hitler. I

Do not that is not true. It's funny that we hadn't mentioned it yet. I know I had to forget this far in. I was having a great time until then. He was also the year after that in 2002 he was in his own feature film. Do you remember this? Oh yes actually I do remember I think I saw that movie. I mean I I didn't, because I'm cool. Well, I'll tell you a little bit about, and you can tell me what you thought somewhere. What was it called? It was called the Crocodile Hunter Collision Course.

Collision Course. I like when an original movie that needs a subtitle like that, normally. It should have been called back in the habit. It works for everything. Only if he was burning him again. Why? I don't know. And the film co-starred his wife Terry.

According to IMDB, this is what happened in Clusion Course. The crocodile hunter mistakes some CIA agents for poaches. And he says, hang on, sorry. Hang on, yeah. Is it not a documentary? Already, because I was in the film. Sorry. Was everyone else under sorry. Is it not a documentary? No, it's a film. Sorry. Was everyone else under the assumption that it was a document?

I didn't think there was a scripted. No, it's a scripted. It's a spy film. It's a comedy adventure. It's comedy, yeah, yeah. But I have a question just to why there'd be CIA agents. Are they in the air back? Well, let look.

Oh no, my man said. I'm really excited. I was just like, we could act it out. So the crocodile hunt a mistake some CIA agents for poachers and sets out to stop them from capturing a wily crock which unbeknownst to him has swallowed a tracking drone. So it's, what's the opposite of far fetched? I think that's, yeah, it's pretty, maybe it was a documentary after all. What's the opposite of far fetched?

It's a pretty solid storyline, which probably makes it a bit surprising, you guys to find that Metacric, Metacric, Metacritic, scored it, a mediocre. Metacric it scored it at 10 for 66. We're oneinnings remaining, Ken Steaver, and recapture the ashes. LAUGHTER It's got it 50 out of 100, which is pretty average.

Probably exactly average, I guess. LAUGHTER That's not that bad. That's not the shittest thing of all time, but it's... That means it's pretty shit, I think. Right? A movie is half good, that's no good.

That's two and half stars. I think it's not just not bad enough to be good again. You know, I think it's... That's the sequel. Crocodile Hunter, bad enough to be good again. Back in the habit. Do you have any idea how well a fair box office was? Fine.

50 out of a hundred. Yeah, right. The only stouts I got here is 50. So I think that's, yeah, out of a hundred box offices, it got 50, so that's not too bad. He doesn't understand how it was. That's, I'm pretty heavy, you know, 50. Get to raise the bat for Metta Cricket and... A cricket joke there.

Pretty good. There it is. This is a grip face. Has it come off my face yet today? Erwin did find himself amidst controversy on a few occasions. He was often criticized saying that he put an entertainment ahead of the animal's welfare, right? You know, he's sometimes like, I think that's kind of what the South Park parody was saying. Oh, what do you sum up there, Bats?

Yeah, basically saying, oh, I'll look. I think they like it. No, I love these crocodiles. That's why I'm wrestling them when they're just happily swimming around in their habitat. Because I love them. It does seem a bit unnecessary. Do you have an argument to why he can wrestle a croc? Yeah, because he loves them. Oh, right. Ah, check that.

Yeah. And yeah, they did strenuously denied, you know, whenever they talked about it. I've never wrestled a croc in my life. So I love them and I just want to get to know them. These are, I'm learning, I'm helping educate people. But have you jumped on a person in the street? In many skills. Have you jumped on a person in the street?

As I often do. I just want to get to know them. You're telling the Jail. I'm not if you give the, I'm just getting a know-em argument. I've seen that stack up in court. Have you stacked that up in court? I have. Yeah, I've stuck that right up. Right. In 2004, it was when Cam the most publicized controversy. That was when he was photographed feeding a crocodile with his baby son Bob in his arms. Some were shocked by the images and accused Steve of child endangerment.

But he was like, no man, it's cool. Right? As long as he doesn't mix up with hands. Yeah. Baby here, me here. Oh, hang on. Oh no. Oh, Bob.

I'm going to kiss my little baby Bob, the red steak. It took him days to realize. Um. He's not a spitt of steak and archer? Yeah. Jeez, Bob's lost his avatar. And he's in the end days. Also, Bob is not a good baby name though.

Bob. Anybody, a baby called Bob here? He's an end-bobb. Thank God. I love you. The rest of you can fuck off. Now you're great. I love you. First of all, you can fuck hell. Now you're great. Please say forever. It's just you and Bob.

Son of Bob. Hello Bob. Please do go. Erwin wasn't charged over the incident. Which charge? Some people thought he should be, and apparently, laws and queens and words are changed. You can't and words are changed You can't be the crocodile with a baby in one cock Yeah, that's explicit now in the law

You can't you apparently you can't have babies right next to crocodiles anymore. That is what that is a nanny state You thought we were in a nanny state. I tell you what back in our day. You could I mean geez Louise Well back in my day, Your day was a mess. Well you used to feed our babies to crocodiles. And that's how they'd learn. The ones that survived got to put their thumb up their butts and that is... Wait. That's what I called promise school.

Their own butts? Who's learning there? That was the lesson and they had to figure it out for themselves Nobody spoon feeding back in my way. No fair enough. I'll get there hang on So the baby gets fed to the croc Okay, and then the maybe the crocodile's learning that's grisly. Yeah, gris the butts are grisly I don't look I'm I was looking at what's next and I've missed what you were doing there.

I didn't mention he had a couple of kids somewhere along the line, Bob was one of them, and also another one named Bindi. Yeah, he's on Vassy with the stars. Oh, and I like, I wanna like like her but I fucking don't. Is it something like she's like 18 right? There's something so patronizing about that bitch like go on Instagram fuck me like go on Instagram and play everyone I'm like what are you hiding Bittyendy? Let me tell you something like her.

I want to, I want to like her. Here's the thing, guys. I want to like Bendy Owen, because I know it's probably the right thing to do for our nation. You know, she goes and she goes, hey, I'll just be one sec. Am I too loud now, because I'm standing in front of Matt? You know what, checking the saints, you fuckhead because I'm standing in front of Matt? You know what? Check in the saints, you fuckhead. I'm doing...

I was doing it in passion speech about Bindi Irwin. And Matt's zoned out to check the footy scores again. Signs are up. Go right. Anyway, I just don't like her, but you know what else I don't like? Is there a good friend Kirin here? Yeah. We made Kirin.

In Stratford, didn't we, Matt? We did. We did. We did. We did. And Matt came out and chatted to some people after the show, and then he came back to me and he's like, just come on, you gotta make someone,

someone he listens to the podcast, and I was like, oh, awesome. And we're chatting away to Kirin. Lovely dude. We're lovely guys. I like him a lot. I don't have a problem with him or anything about him. That's interesting.

Neither do I. And then we say, so what do you do up here, Kirin? Really lovely guy, I like him a lot. I've got no problem with him or anything about him. That's interesting, neither do I. And then we say, so what do you do up here, Karen? Karen, what do you do for living? I'm an accountant. Oh no! I still love you, Karen. Karen bought me beers, so...

Love him, I love you. Can't buy my love, Karen. Oh, Bindio, and... She's just so patronizing! Don't talk down to me, I'm older than you, respect me! Hey, good. Fuck off, Bindie! Go dance your little bitch. That was too far, yeah, that was too far, sorry.

I felt a little strong. But like, oh, I thought you had a boyfriend? Like, oh, I love him so much you don't know what love is you're a child it'll end that's probably that's just as regretful guys you want to come to my comedy festival show this evening I got some opinions show this evening. I got some opinions. You've just seen half of it anyway, so I wouldn't. I wouldn't. My show's called Fuck You Bindi-O.

Fuck you Bindi! And I invited her to come and she's not coming and I was like, yeah, typical. I'm busy. Fuck off. And also, Bob. Oh no, do not lay a finger on Bob. He's better now, but the ball cut went for way too long. Like that's fine. What age is a ball cut okay till?

Like five maybe? And maximum, I know you're shaking head, I agree. But like, but maximum, maybe four or five. But he had it till he was like a hundred and six. Like, not okay. He's not okay that's not on him though is it you hate his mom you know the bulk up is definitely not I don't like Terry either I don't like the Irwin's don't do it yes or there's something can be I'm gonna really enjoy I've got a good feeling about this story!

Alright, hit me! Matt, you're going... sorry, everybody, sorry, Karen, but also not sorry, you know what you did. A couple of years later, after that, the child feeding incident on September the 4th 2006 just get ready. I really don't know how to react now. Erwin was filming a program off the coast of Port Douglas in Queensland, Australia. Sounds like any other day. Poor Douglas, beautiful. He was snorkeling.

Oh, lovely. Near a stingray. Oh, he's favorite. This got fucked. But if you think about a stingray, if the big bits the head, the rest of it, it's kind of all in there. Oh.

So he was snorkeling. I haven't, you know, haven't a good time filming a show. He's on the show, I love it. Do what he loves. He was struck in the chest by the stingray's bar. A stingray's just saying hello. It hit him in the heart. These guys all were previously under the impression that Jess was kind of nice.

No, I know, I know, I know. Sadly, I've written here, but obviously not everyone agrees with that phrasing. Sadly, Steve died of cardiac arrest shortly after age, only 44 years of age. age 44 years of age. He's a confirmed. How old? 44. And I'd just like to say, Jess, if that makes you feel any better, Bindi's dad died when she was young. Does that make you feel you piece of shit

You absolute piece of shit. I okay, that doesn't okay. That's very sad and obviously I think now that I think about it See was the only one I did like and maybe I'm just reacting this way because I miss him But also you don't get to be a condescending bitch. I'm in the rest of the... ...cawalas. And fuck off! We're gonna hear from Bindi shortly.

Whereby's that that live cross is all set up, I imagine. She has been watching this whole time. Special guests here tonight. I just love this podcast. And you're like, get to the point. Oh, please, please don't like this podcast, Bindi. If she's listening, oh man. She's not listening.

She's above podcasts. That's a good point. She is. God bless her. I love you, Bindi. 5,000 people attended his memorial a few weeks later and an estimated 300 million more around the world tuned into the live television coverage.

That's crazy. I know where you're going and I don't. His young daughter, Bindi, gave a speech, which left no dry eyes in the house. I sucked so much. It sucked. Maddie, you're gonna... She said, this is all I'm daddy.

This is all boy. is all, boy. That is... That's how it started. That's how it started. I'm just gonna read a short part of it here. I have the best daddy in the world, and I will miss him every day. This is it a... That's funeral!

Just as leaving. When I see a crocodile, I will always think of him and know that Daddy made the zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals. Russell Crowe noted from America that Erwin had been headline news all week on CNN saying, there's a quote from Russell, there are not many zookeepers who would command that sort of attention, which I think, I think Rusty was spot on with there. But at the same point, that went into the memorial as well.

So, do you go on to list all the other zookeepers that would have gotten the attention. Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe. Who's now or was dating Terry Ewan? Ooh! Oh, what a nice guy. So how many zookeepers he has? I'm going to fuck your wife. Is that true?

Is this true? I don't know. They've denied. And that was more than 10 years since he passed. Look, I have regrets. I mean, surely eventually you're allowed to move on, Jess. Not to Russell Crowe. Not to Russell Crowe.

No one is allowed. He's like the Russell Crowe. At the memorial, this is quite a nice touching tribute, I thought. The zoo workers laid their floral tributes on the ground to spell out the word cry-key. Eh? Ah. No, that's all right. I don't know if everyone the mic picked that up in the room but there was a lot of tears.

We couldn't hear the tears at home. November 15 has been designated Steve Irwin day an international tribute held annually in recognition of his life and work every year, November 15. Why November 15? Bloody good question that. Fun facts! Fun facts! Oh, we're going to end with some fun facts. We're going to end with some quick fun facts.

I didn't find these myself. I found this website called 10FactsAbout.com. And the headline for this one is 10 Fun Facts About Steve Irwin. How many of them are actually fun? I haven't read them yet, let's find out. You're going to do all 10. We'll see how they go and probably not. Fact number one, Steve Irwin, who was also known as the crocodile hunter,

was a wildlife expert ironically killed by a stingray. That is... No, that's fun! Stingray. That is fun. That is fun. That is fun. That is fun. That is fun. That is fun. That is not fun and we have already heard that over the last 50 minutes. Is it ironic that he was killed by a Stingray as the crocodile hunter? No, it is not all that.

But that person obviously does not have a crocodile. Fact number two. If you got hit by a car, is it ironic that he died after being hit by a car even though he is the crocodile hunter? That is ironic. Oh yes, it is. The CEO of RSPCA called Irwin the modern-day Noah. What the fuck? A bit of fun. The CEO. Oh here's a fun one. Finally. At the time of his death, he was struck several hundred times in the chest

by the tail of a stingray. He died at the scene. Now we're getting fun. I don't think it's going to get any more fun than that. Oh, no, I mean, this is fun. They're all fun. This one's fun. Erwin's funeral ceremony in burial was in Australia, Zoon, and not accessible to the public. Oh my God, that is fun! I love access facts. Yes, but could the public get it? That's what I want to know. Are you giving up on the fun facts, public at all? I think so, yeah, we're almost out of time actually.

Let's get a match, you and on Steam Island! You better match you and on Steve Allen! Applause Well, we've all learned a lot today, especially about Jess's hatred for a young holy moly Such a wanker A young girl can be wankers Well meaning 18-year-old No, well, I'd not, there's something there Mark my words

Eventually it's going to come out that she was on crack this whole time I'd like to know if you can tell me that there's something there. Mark my words. Eventually it's going to come out that she was on crack this whole time. All of a sudden there's an issue with crack. You're a real piece of work, mate. So sorry. Anyway. That is the end of the show. Thank you so much for coming out today. Now this is our second last one. We've got our final podcast here next week and we got a special guest coming before the squeeze on the little stage share it's gonna be very tight we gotta get a full of people again it's fun

this go away oh guys thank you so much for coming out give yourselves a big round of applause for coming out support the show live thank you much everybody we do appreciate it so great to see you here but until next week we will say goodbye thank you Well, wasn't that a bit of fun, hey? Just a little bit of fun there on the podcast. Live? We still, we love doing in front of you guys. If you're not from Melbourne, you haven't had a chance to check it out. We're keen to get around and do it elsewhere, so let us know if you are outside of Melbourne, where you are, and if you reckon that it'll be worthwhile us coming and doing it live for you, maybe.

Maybe not. Tell me to, you can also tell me if your town would definitely not want us to come. Also, that would be handy. Knowledge to have as well. We'll put a line through your town or city. Obviously, we're coming for Ohio at some point soon, but we want to get around Australia and you know, around the world, maybe in the space, whatever, like we're open to options. Thanks for listening. Before we go, I should always thank the Patreon sponsors. We like to thank a few of our special Supporters this week. They've obviously put a bit of work in normal last week I just listened that earlier and he he looked up addiction area and stuff I'm just gonna open up the page now and read them straight off the thing and see if I can

Anyway, how about this? I'd love to big thanks to Jordan Thea Bold obviously Jordan being I'd love to, big thanks to Jordan Thea Bold, obviously Jordan. Being a basketball, he started his career out at North Carolina. I don't know if anyone knows that fact. That's one of the great facts I have about Jordan. Someone did send through a few other facts about North Carolina, and I can't remember them. Not relevant to Jordan Thea Bold here anyway.

Let me just click on him, see if I can find out whereabouts he's from. He's an Australian, anyway. He's from New South Wales. Good on you, Jordan. We should come up and visit you. Sydney seems realistic if that's anywhere near you. I'd also love to thank Jordan Thea Bold again, because I don't know if I quite hit that hard enough. You're a real good guy, Jordan, and I... I've got a picture in my mind of being, you're the classic bronze dozi, Orekken.

You've got the long flowing hair, you surf in the morning, you catch crocodiles at night and in between you just... But he'd be nice to people. I don't know if that's a classic Australian thing, but that's what makes you different. That sets you apart from your neighbors. Those arsones down the road. Yeah, I'd also love to thank Brian Dylan. Brian Dylan, Bob Dylan actually maybe related to you, probably not because it's entirely different spelling, and I don't think that's his real name, but he just won a Nobel Prize for and I don't think that's his real name, but he just won a Nobel Prize for literature, I think,

and I think in a similar way, Brian Dillon, you are also a wordsmith. You're an Irishman, right? But you'd spell your name in the English way, Brian with an eye, which I don't like. No, I do like it because you've done it. You've turned me around, I'm traditionally a Brian with a y-kind of guy, but you brought me back.

Brian with an eye is my new preferred spelling of brine. You're a classic Irishman, I'd say, which is, you know, you surf in the mornings, you catch, crocs at night. And in between, you're just a bloody nice guy. Well done. I appreciate your work. I don't know if you'd believe this, but I'm nearly entirely made up of Irish heritage, which I think everyone says. I met a few Irish people in my backpacking days

and they found that very annoying when people would tell them that they had Irish heritage. They're like, yeah, everyone fucking does, you know what? Like, okay, cool. Got shut down. I thought I was just trying to connect. But anyway, you know, they weren't into it. That's fine and finally, I'd love to thank, sorry, Brian.

That felt negative. I loved your work, Brian. You are a gun in all the good ways. And finally, I'd love to thank Scott Ho. He's a California. I'd love to be in California right now. And my head, that is always sun shiny. It's a sun shiny place and it's where the OCs from it's where California Cation is from.

I think that one's pretty clear and all those great shows as well. There's always sun shining in California. Scott Ho. Classic guy, you know what I reckonRick and he gets up to. He catches crocodiles in the morning. He's a bit of a wildcat like that, and he serfs it not. He doesn't care about being able to see the waves, and that sort of stuff.

A lot of people say it's dangerous to serf it not. But not Scott Ho. He is a mad dog. Scott How. Mad dog and a wildcat. He, uh, he loves and hates himself, but he does it in all the right ways. Thanks so much Scott. What a mess that was and I think you would expect nothing less from me. Just wrapping up, I'd love for you guys to get in touch. Let us know if you want us

And if you want to get in contact, it's do go on pod at gmail.com or it's at do go on pod for Twitter. I think Facebook's the same do go on pod. And we'll see other on Instagram also do go on pod, which makes a pretty straightforward for you guys, I reckon. And I don't think you need it to be straightforward or I can you guys very intelligent could figure out a more complex system but it's more for us and you know
