Hello, podcast viewers and listeners.
Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of Sloss and Humpies on the Road.
As you can tell by my very relaxed outfit style and the fact that I'm vaping and drinking red wine,
I'm in bloody Australia.
I'm in the fucking Gold Coast.
Oh, I've got a fucking accent, man.
I don't know why people make fun of my accent.
It's not that fucking thick.
It's probably the most gentle accent scene in the entire fucking world.
We've been having a great time.
Too much fun.
And we catch up on a lot of it in this episode.
We have Matthew and Jack over,
so the quality of the production is slightly higher
because their standards are higher than Kai's.
We speak about all the animals here that have been beating the shit out of Kai.
We speak about the gigs that we've coming up
speaking of. Please go and see Kai's show in
Melbourne. I think he's doing like six days
so if you're there go
and see him. If you're not, buy
tickets and don't turn up. That'll fucking confuse
him. But I thought it was sold out
Yeah well fucking turns out people
in Perth bought tickets and just did not
fly over you bong-eyed...
I was about to say a horrible word there that rhymed with bong.
But I didn't, and that's why I'm better than Alfie Brown.
Enjoy the podcast, and we'll see you for Thursday's episode. Cheers. We're on the Gold Coast. Yeah. Or am I just being cynical? Just muggled it up on fucking Mugglopedia Where have you been since 9-11?
We're on the Gold Coast
Yeah
Done a gig in Brisbane
Got a weekend off
You've just been to the zoo
Yeah
I actually want to
Before we start talking about Australia
And how much fun we're having
I didn't speak to you
About the driver's awareness course
That I have to do today
I don't think so
You totally just slept in for one
Yeah, so basically I got three points in Scotland
because I was speeding.
And how much does that take you up to?
Three, three.
Is that your only three?
Yeah.
That's a prize, isn't it?
Well, man, my rules of...
I'm not going to deny that I fucking speed,
but I speed at late at night on motorways.
You, like, I've got you down as a person that goes,
oh, what, you just get fined for it?
Oh, you get points for what it puts your insurance up?
Yeah.
Just fucking chuck money at it.
Oh, my insurance premium's gone up.
Whoop.
Like, you're wasteful.
So, like, I'd look at you as someone that gets to nine points
and go, all right, I'm only last one.
No, no, like, the speed I'm always doing,
when I speed, I'll never go over 90, but I'll do 90 on the fucking motorway at 11 at night or one in the morning when I'm trying to get home.
Just because I'm like, 1% of accidents happen on the motorway.
Is that right?
Yep. That's what I learned from the Speed Awareness course.
1% of all accidents are 1% of traffic accidents
traffic accidents
alright
because of that
all accidents
I'd be like
aye sure
alright
no but 1%
something's happening
in football
but 1%
so the majority of accidents
are off the motorway
yep
I find that staggering
yep
yeah yeah
so it's 80%
take place
in residential areas
and
and that's where
they are
so I got speed in one in Scotland
because I was doing 50
and a 40 because
the 40 used to be a 50 and then they
changed it, didn't do anything
and then put like a mobile thing up
fair enough, got caught, was speeded
I'm not going to fucking bitch and moan
Scotland doesn't give you the chance to do speed awareness courses, though.
Right?
They're just like, you sped.
Here's your points.
It's a pretty hardcore, because Scotland's got like a no unit of alcohol thing.
Aye.
We used to kill each other heaps on the roads.
You can't even go, no, I'm driving.
I'll have a shandy.
Aye.
That's over.
You can have alcohol in your system from the night before and have your license fucking removed in Scotland.
And drunk driving in, I think it's all
of the UK
but in Scotland
it's
licence is immediately
gone
I think if you're
a learner
I'm pretty non-faceted
I think it's across the board
it's just completely gone
so
I get got speeding
in Liverpool
and again
it's like
35
in a 30
and I'll put that down to...
Because it's like 10% you're allowed,
aren't you?
If it's 33,
they give you that margin for error.
And I think I didn't know the area
and also I learned heaps about road signs
while on the Speed Awareness course.
Things I didn't know before
and I was like,
oh.
Like repeaters if you're in a 40.
Repeaters and also what it means.
So if there's street lights,
it's 30.
If it's not,
it's 40 and all this stuff.
And I'm like,
all right,
okay,
I did generally learn stuff
missed one just because
I slept in, rescheduled
because it was in Liverpool
it means I got the chance to take the speed awareness course
and I'm like great if I can not have another extra three points here
that's going to be fucking great for me
I'll give you one guess
as to
what the other participants
the other 12 participants in the Speed Awareness course,
what demographic they belong to?
I'm going to say baldy boomers.
100% correct.
It wasn't boy racers.
Oh, there was one slightly emo-looking guy
who was clearly like 22, 23, who was there as well.
And then it was just bald boomers who voted for
brexit called dave bill or steve one of the last barry's was there they were they were all
caught speeding in their van so at the start of the course this poor woman right who has to do
this thing she's great at her job she's making sure it's engaged to engage. Otherwise, you know, there's no way to fail.
But if you're just sat there on your phone,
they're like, you didn't do anything.
So you've got to engage yourself.
So just to start the course,
how about we go around,
say our name, say our age,
and what type of vehicle we drive.
Oh, no.
All right, my name's Dave.
I'm 56 and I drive a BMW with all the trimmings.
Three seconds of silence.
She goes, thanks very much, Dave.
I actually just meant bike, van or car.
And I'm sat there being like, thank fuck,
because I was about to say Tesla.
And I'm like, Daniel, 32, car.
And I'm like, Daniel, 32, car.
With all the trimmings,
you fucking turning your vehicle into a Sunday roast.
How much more of a Farage voting fuck do you have to be?
And as well, the markup on all them trimmings when you're buying a new car is fucking just stupid.
Like when you're marking up and you're like, oh, I'll have the button.
That means that when, which is good buttons to have.
Like that's the seat setting for me, but that's the seat setting for my wife or whatever.
Like the markup when you go up the scale is just like,
you do want them things as a capitalist when you're looking at it and you're going to want that.
But like, you're probably going to be fine with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, I mean, the rental car we've got here has that but like you're probably going to be fine without it yeah yeah yeah like I mean the rental car
we've got here
has that
like it's got
great fucking sat nav
parking brake buttons
need to be illegal
they need to be fucking illegal
right
in my car
the second you stop driving
it's locked
there's nothing you can do
you get fucking rear ended
and you're moving
as far as that car moves
but your car's moving
nothing because of
these fucking cars
you press the button, you get out of the car
and it rolls like six inches
and goes, ah, made you think
oh you thought, you thought I was going
to run over your four month old didn't you?
I fucking got you, sorry
this car was designed in France
they just
have a lot of road accidents for children there
I thought you just had it in for Renaults.
Oh.
What's the make?
Citroen?
Yeah, yeah, Renaults.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aye, that's all in there.
So, look, I learned lots on the speed awareness course.
It does make you think,
but what it makes you think is,
all right, I'll stop speeding in school areas.
Unless you've got Matty on the passenger seat
you just need to get him
past before he tries
to dive out
and just put them
in the boot
I can't believe
the child lock
works on him
the irony
I did a speed awareness
course many years ago
you couldn't do it online
I had to go into
I can't remember
where it was
it was some fucking
hotel function room
and um it was again mostly the same demographic you said a couple of boy racers like myself
and uh and there was just like one elderly woman right and this man got up and went i'll tell you
who causes more accidents than people speeding people going slow and you have to like gather
where they can overtake them and all that and it's always just an old biddy just doddering along
and then he just looked
at the woman and went
well obviously not you
so
we arrived in
Gold Coast
from
Auckland
on
fucking
whatever
the day
I think it was Monday
or something
picking up a hire car
so you've been driving
over here as well
yeah yeah
which I've done before
and I'm fine with
like there is
the rental's dead good
because literally
just on the screen
in front of you
it's like
we drive
on the left hand side
of the roads
in Australia
you're like
thanks man
that's exactly where
that sign should be
I don't like arriving at a roundabout
and going
we drive on the same side of the roads
as we do in Britain
and I'm like oh great
now I have to remember driving on the road in Britain
motorway that's not helping
what side of the road is it?
it's a one way street
I don't know what side of the road we drive on in Britain
I'm just
I think I see it like that
is it left? we're on in Britain I'm just I think I see it like that going is it left
we're on the left I believe
get here
my son has learned how to walk
fully
that happened so fast
two days
like he
he was always able to take like a couple of steps
but it was always
you know if you were like
a couple of paces away from the couch
and he's holding on to the couch
and he wants what you've got
yeah
he'll huddle over at you
and like fall into your arms he went from on to the couch and he wants what you've got. Yeah, yeah. He'll huddle over at you and, like, fall into your arms.
He went from that to, like, walking around with your finger
completely just, like, day and lapse of the house
to just, like, I don't even need this and letting go on your finger
and now you've got a walking child.
Aye.
If I could tell you, this morning,
like, it's literally been in the past two days,
like, it's so fascinating, like, how it feels, like,
for so long that they're not learning anything
and then when they do learn it's really intensive.
I've got this weird thing
because there was a fascinating book on sleep
and it's like the reason we sleep
and the reason babies sleep so much more than we do
is because when we sleep,
what dreaming is,
is our brain just sorting all the things
we remembered into our head
in that past period of consciousness.
So whenever Caleb walks 50 feet,
I'm like, put him to bed.
Let's fucking
save game
save game
let's walk that in
control the mess
but he's like
I just learned to walk
I want to sleep
I'm like buddy
you have to
otherwise we can't
walk tomorrow
delete the save game
by accident
but this morning
I fucking wake up
with him
and he's a
man
he's a bin
right
he's like
it's grey
because me and Gareth's big anxiety all the time
was we didn't want him to have the same level of pickiness.
Obviously, he'll probably get to three,
and when he starts to feel like a matitude,
we'll maybe pick up some food things.
But at the moment, we call him Bin Laden.
Anything you do, he just goes, that's mine.
There's the Aunty Donna song from Big Ol' House of Fun,
which is everything's a drum.
And whenever anyone is eating anything in Caelan's head,
I believe it's just the tune.
Everything's for me.
Everything's for me.
Did you know this muffin's for me?
Everything's for me.
Everything's for me.
And that's just how he lives his fucking life.
Is this egg for me?
Yes, it's for me. Yeah, and just how he lives his fucking life. Is this egg for me? Yes, it's for me.
Yeah, and just that scene when I don't give him food,
just like Broden standing at the window.
You said everything was for me.
Now, now, Brother Galen, everything is for you.
He's like a dog as well, where if you've got food,
you'll potter up the end and just start eyeballing it
as if it's just like, I'm here to keep you company. If you cuddle, then you're like, what are you after? It's like you'll seeter up again and just start eyeballing it as if it's just saying i'm here to keep you company with your cuddles and you're like what are you after it's like you'll
say something that's on the table and start like maneuvering his way around so that he can get it
oh it's funny i was eating some crisps yesterday and he came over and was like i love my dad i
loved my dad so much he's always got crisps what convenient fucking anyway can i be down now
i mean it's because and then he sees my dad eating a nice lolly and he's like crisps are shit
and you're like
oh fuck
now he knows
he's got priorities
this morning
it was me
Matthew down
with him
so I give him
a banana
and he has to
have something
in each hand
and in his
fucking mouth
like in the future
it's funny watching
him whacking around
dual wielding
TV remotes
we're going to be
looking for them
later but that
looks cool
while he's doing it
if he grows up to be gay he's going to be a really fun homo that's cool while he's doing it if he grows up to be gay
he's going to be a really fun homo
that's all I've got to say
one in each hand and something in the mouth
he's going to be a good fun time
for all the bears out there
but when he's
crawling with food in his hands
you just fucking sit him there
and then he's toddling around and you're like
I'll let him do that
and just smearing shit
all over,
like banana.
Not physical shit.
Not physical shit.
Well,
not,
not,
not,
not yet.
We took him to see,
we went to
Karambin Zoo.
How was that?
Really good.
I was meant to join you
but I decided
that I was going to have a day in.
Well,
also you've not,
I don't know how much
We can
Trust you around
The Australian wildlife
Anymore
After I got assaulted
Yeah
I got full on assaulted
You got beat up
By
Look
Right
A bird
You got beat up by a bird
You got beat up by
A black and white bird
Sam
Geordie
Slag
Toon Fan
And I was I was like Because when I went to Portugal I got into a fight With. Sam, Jordy, Slag, Tunfan.
And I was like, because when I went to Portugal,
I got into a fight with another Jordy everywhere I go.
I'm just scrapping with other Jordys.
It's a broad thing, isn't it?
It's almost as if it's a youth problem.
Magpie fucking kicked shit out of us.
Well, you know what?
If I'd let it kick shit out of us,
I would have come out better than the way I'd committed suicide.
Yeah.
So I'm running along.
I ran to the beach and back,
which is like probably about two miles to get there.
And then the same again back.
And a lot of Australia is very much like America where they're just like...
You want to walk somewhere? Tough shit.
Yeah, who needs pavements?
Who needs pavements?
The place is 10 minutes away.
Nobody's going to fucking walk that in the sea.
Just get in a fucking Uber,
get in your fucking ute,
drive down there.
Oh, you're a jogger, are you? All right, well all right well just figure it out so like there's a main motorway
that's just going straight from where we are all the way to the beach right but there's no sidewalk
on it sidewalk footpath um but there's like occasional streets that kind of run parallel
to it so you're kind of just making your way just through like streets that look like something off
neighbors and i'm staying next to the bushes
that's between the street
and the
because there's no
footpath still
but I'm staying
by the bushes
because it's providing
a little bit of sun cover
so I don't get scorched
while I'm running
and on the way back
I just felt like
it felt like a football
hitting us on the head
yeah if you're just
fucking running by a park
and a football hits you
even the kids are laughing
at you
so you're looking around
to kick a ball back
to all these teenagers you're like oh there kick a ball back to all these teenagers,
you're like,
well, there's no ball.
Oh, there's no teenager.
Ah, in fact,
it came from that bush.
It came from inside the bush.
And I look back
and then like to see where the ball was
and I was getting fucking attacked again,
like fucking swiped at this magpie.
And it just then hovered
like kind of just out of reach,
just like a drone.
So I was getting orbited by the way,
not even orbited by the way not even
orbited it was like fucking static but I'm running backwards and it takes a little swoop I've got my
phone in my hand I'm just fucking trying to dink it with my phone in that way why the phone it was
in my hand I'm running when I've got any pockets I'm running I just okay all right it's in your
left hand and that's why you're right okay Yeah but also it gives you an extra couple inches And also it's harder
you can be like
if I just fucking
donk on the beak
there
that's it
giving a warning
alright fair enough
Yeah and as well
if it's coming in
with like claws
and fucking
beaking out a lot
Fucking listen to the way
this cunt's telling this story
This is about a bird
and he's used the word
claws
Talons
Talons
It was a
bald falcon You know they descended from dinosaurs right it was a bald falcon
you know they
descended from
dinosaurs right
it was a
peregrine vulture
I essentially
fought off a
fucking
velociraptor
I'm lucky to
be here
pterodactyl
aye aye
fucking
the cunt
kept at it
like staying
out of range
and then swooping
in if I ever
dropped my guard
for far too
long
like way too
long
like I reckon
about two minutes.
Which is quite a long time
to be running backwards
for a bit.
I really, really wish
because like what they say
is right,
during the swooping season
these magpies are just
fucking protecting
their nest, right?
But they're very,
very territorial.
But they're like
just keep running.
Don't make eye contact
with them
because if you turn around
and confront them
they think it's a confrontation.
I got it all wrong. Yes. I got got it all wrong that was trying to clear me out
from its nest right and i faced it and confronted it and that fight would have went on for as long
as that i'm gonna be honest with you i'm surprised you didn't fucking take your shirt off
the second that fucking bird came back out i'm surprised you weren't like right i'm gonna take
my shirt off here.
I'm going to be blind for one second.
Do you have any fucking honour?
I tapped it.
I knew it, wouldn't you, fucking bastard?
Well, when I was running backwards,
I was looking over my shoulder,
so I didn't run into anything, right?
But trying not to take my eye off it for too long,
so I'm backing off and swiping at this bird.
And I was getting closer and closer to a camper van,
and I was like, I might have to dive under that camper van.
Great.
Imagine the Darwin Award I would get
if I dived under a camper van and fucking...
Just a croc.
Just a brown snake.
Just a funnel web spider.
Just there waiting for us.
I'm being attacked by a bird.
I better just jump into this burrow.
Who knows what could possibly be in here?
So I didn't do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You went into the cabavan.
It was just two Aussies making meth.
They're like,
Hey, our kids are sleeping back there.
You're like, oh, for fuck's sake, Jesus Christ.
The bogans, the magpies.
I'm getting attacked from all angles.
And you mentioned about swooping season
as well
because I hadn't heard
of swooping season
until
I got swooped
until
until the Magpie
whispered in your ears
it's swooping season
motherfucker
well somebody
somebody said to us
it's not even swooping season
it's not
and I looked it up
and it was like
July till November
swooping season
and I'm like
I got fucking bitched
in a pre-season friendly
he's fucking
warmed up on us
I'm an
I love animals
until they put
me or anyone I love
in fucking danger
and then I'm like
oh yeah
oh and then it's like
I'll kill you
and then
look if you want to
take it back to
survival of the fucking
fez
let's fucking go
I wish I'd been there
for you on that
fucking run
right so just when it starts fucking chasing you down there just to prove a point back to survival of the fucking fez, let's fucking go. I wish I'd been there for you on that fucking run, right?
So just when it starts fucking chasing you down there,
just to prove a point to that fucking magpie,
I would have worked out where its nest is
and just fucking smashed them all off the floor.
So it's going to come back being like,
I'm fucking scared of that bong.
You're looking for it,
but there's just loads of magpie nests
in the oldest aside of fucking...
You're like, damn it.
I'm like, bah, bah, bah,
and another magpie
you're just in it
with survival mode
so
I was
I was fucking
running backwards
like walking backwards
trying to
catch this magpie
on the way down
and then a fucking
another one
just came in
and started angling
getting an angle on us
it was so funny
that magpie chased you
just into
another magpie's nest.
Man,
it'd be like,
it'd be like you're fucking robbing someone's house.
You hear them come in downstairs.
They can hear you upstairs.
They're like,
I'm going to fucking get you.
You hear like the sound of a shotgun fucking cock
and you're like,
I've got to fucking jump out this fucking window.
I've got to do this like Jason Bourne style.
You take a run up,
you parkour over the bed,
you leap through the window
you crash fucking through it
and then just crash
through the neighbours window
into their bedroom
you're like
no
fuck you guys all
live so close together
so I think
you fucking really injured yourself
I turned around
when I saw the second one
I was like
oh this is just
going to take forever
I'm just going to
get out of here
which should have been
plenty
plenty should have
just been crack on
you know what
I looked it up
like how do you
fucking stop
a magpie attack
and it was
it was all preemptive stuff
like wear a wide brimmed hat
and stuff
and one of them was
have a flag on your bike
that's taller than you
and I'm like
yeah get battered off people
I don't know there's no fucking get that off people I don't want to see
more fucking ribbons
on my handlebars
now I like a basket
ring ring
no no
tell you what
the best way to put them on
is if you just get
some sort of
little baseball cap
with some sort of
propeller
on the top of it
I'm pretty sure
that'll keep the magpies away
and also
people will be pulling over
being like
are you allowed to cycle by yourself uh if you wear nhs glasses and uh in train track braces
that totally helps as well
mechanism like a pure nerd so i don't get beat up by a bird
so i turned and ran fell flat on my face immediately by the way
like saw the other one and i was like right right, I'm going to turn and run. And then just went...
Gravity hits different in Australia.
It's because, like, it's spinning the other way.
I should have turned the other direction when I turned and run.
But I just fucking scalped across the floor hand first,
like, took the skin off my hand.
I need a fucking really good one.
Skin off my hip and doing my arse,
little, like, bits of blood on my ankle,
my knee, my elbow, like, wherever I fucking hit the deck on that side.
And braced myself for these magpies
flying in
hitting us
when I'm down
when I'm wounded
and they just went
got him
ran off
ran
ran
god
that would be
the most fucking degrading
they both land
beside you
just caught each other
and then slowly
walk back
and then I go
my turn motherfucker
just fly up above them
I fucking
and I was walking down
like just taken stock
I'm bleeding profusely
out of my hand
my fucking
rest of it is sore
typical you're like
oh jeez
I'm bleeding so profusely
from all of these wounds
I tell you what
I'll just go
wash me hands
in the Gold Coast River
just put blood in the Gold Coast River.
Just put blood in the thought of the bull sharks.
And I just fucking, my phone wasn't one piece in that.
You know that thing where you follow up with a pint?
So hold your pint up.
My phone was grand, so we left, I'll be left side's fine.
And I'm just walking by and I just fucking,
saw this workie getting out of his van, a trainee getting out of his van and I just fucking saw this work he's getting
out of his
van
a trailer
he's getting
out of his
van
and he's
just fucking
clocked
his bleeding
he's like
oh mate
you alright
I'm just
going to
swoop by
a magpie
he's like
oh my god
a magpie
got you
and I'm like
I'm pretty
embarrassed
to be honest
he was like
do you mean
anything
to mop that
up
and I was
like
have you
got anything
that would
be sound
and he
just started
shouting through his mates working on the gun hey Barry Steve have you mean anything? They mopped that up. I was like, have you got anything? That would be sound. He just started shouting
through his mates
working on the garden.
Hey, Barry, Steve,
have you got anything?
This cunt's been attacked
by a mack pie.
I'm like, mate, it's fine.
He just ran off.
He didn't get his audience.
Out of breath from me,
running, fucking bleeding
and I'm like,
I'm a bird, God,
it was...
It was very funny
when we first got to this place.
So there's...
We've got a pool in the back garden
and then literally 15 feet away from the pool
is just slightly sanded a bit
and then this big bit of fucking water.
And it just banks around the houses
and you just see the water disappear.
First thing you do when you come in,
you're like, I've not been to the gym in a while.
That's fucking good cardio.
Take off shirt.
And you do, man, you fucking swim.
The length of this, I'm going to say it's,
I'm really bad at distances, but a kilometre until the other ones?
I think it was a kilometre each way.
From our shore to the other shore at the far end.
Yeah, I'm really bad at gauging.
I'm going to guess it was a kilometre each way.
I'm going to guess.
But like, if I was to guess higher or lower,
I think I'd say lower.
Yeah, maybe. but it was about that
to the point that
when I was at the
middle of the body of water
it felt like
I was getting no closer
to the houses in front
and when I look back
it seemed like
I was getting no further away
and it just felt like
fucking treading water
for a bit
but then it started
so I think Cara
posted a video of you
swimming over there
and then you fucking
re-Instagram it
whatever
and then obviously all of Cara's DMs and all you fucking re-Instagram it or whatever and then obviously
all of Cara's DMs
and all of your DMs
it's just Aussies going
don't ever fucking
do that again
don't ever fucking
do that again
like
it's Gold Coast
there are bull sharks
in the river
literally Jordan was
showing us last week
some guys went fishing
and pulled out a
six foot bull shark
most of the shark attacks
happen from bull sharks
shark attacks are rare but like 80% of shark attacks happen from bull sharks sure shark attacks are rare
but
like 80% of shark attacks
are from bull sharks
at least that would have been
fucking cool but
not the bird thing
yeah
not the bird thing
fucking bird
go shit in a car bird
everyone's telling us all this
and we're like
that can't be right
because we're always like
we always talk about
fucking kailuk
and I'm like
if you've done two kilometres
swimming in a lake
shark infested water with open fucking wounds and you've come back being like the water's fine and i just walk in
with my son and 30 seconds later i come back out he thinks you're doing that jim carrey thing
he's just laughing his tits off on the bank um so uh I'm freaking out
you're freaking
out
when we tell
you there's
bull sharks
in there
you get this
look on your
face of like
I need to be
just more
sensible
I need to
read things
through before
I do
and then
Cara spoke
to the
other house
and she was
like no
it's a
private
fucking lake
and then you
zoomed in on
the map
on the google
maps and it's
like a
horseshoe
so where it
looks like a
meander's
around
yeah it looks like
it looks
out of the sea
yeah it looks like
it's part of the
fucking Gold Coast
river system
but it's not
it's just a disembodied
horseshoe landlocked
and don't be wrong
because it's Australia
you know people are still
like oh you know
there could still be
crocs in there
there could still be
brown snakes
you've got to be careful
and you just think
to yourself
God if only Australians
had put as much effort
into exterminating
all the dangerous species
in this country
as they did
to exterminate
the people
who originally lived here
then maybe this might be
a funner place to visit
it's not even funny
because it's true
it's sad
because it's true
yeah
yeah
yeah
you could probably do
without so many predators
like
and I'm a little bit
like what the fuck
are Aussies doing letting birds evolve
to think they can attack people
that should be like
they should get fucked up and not breed again
that should be like an evolutionary
dead end for birds
as attacking people
for the fucking country that invented coward punching
which is just at 3am outside of a casino you see somebody that won more money For the fucking country that invented coward punching, right?
Which is just at 3am outside of a casino,
you see somebody that won more money than you and you run up and you punch them back in the head.
Interesting fact, it used to be called the King Punch
was the name of this thing
and it killed heaps of fucking Australians.
It was this horrible thing that drunk punters did.
Like it was before things were going viral,
but it was like this fucking trained, well...
Like happy slapping.
Yeah, yes, yes. Perfect example uh and then the media did something really really fucking good which is rare
and they went we're not calling it king punching anymore we're calling it coward punching and that
reduced the amount of coward punching by like when they changed social security to benefits and people
stopped doing it oh really it's a fucking it's horrible oh yeah
benefiting from the system
oh yeah yeah
social security
I'm getting security
from society
yeah
what a fucking
I can't even
fucking thought about
that Jesus
but they called it
coward punching
and people were like
well that's not me
I'm not a coward
I'm a king
kings punch people
in the back of the head
would you agree
if I'm talking about nations where you're like,
places you wouldn't want to get into a bar fight,
I think Australia would be up there.
You know what?
Anywhere that has rugby as the number one sport.
Yeah.
Somewhere that I'm like,
fight amongst yourselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Aussie rules football.
This is a country,
we were watching Aussie rules football
the other day
and the reason I fucking
I don't understand the rules
but the reason I like
fucking watching it
is because
it's a pitch full of men
that if they were
punched in the face
or hurt
by a member
of the other team
the ultimate act
of shame for them
would be to
acknowledge
that they were hurt
by the other person
which is the opposite
of fucking football
football you're trying
to gain advantage
by theatrics
man
you could literally
fucking king punch
sorry coward punch
somebody in the fucking
AFL
and just out of sheer spite
they wouldn't die
until the referee
blew the final
fucking whistle
they're like
I'm not going to
give you satisfaction
on that
and I've played
with 17 men
beep beep boo coward blah aneurysm like that so fucking whistle they're like I'm not going to get you satisfaction on that and I play with 17 men boop boop boop
coward
blah
aneurysm
like that
so
it's mad that in a
country where I'm like
you know I think
the people are
fucking hard here
they're hearty
you know it's
harsh conditions
people fucking
survive here
you let
fucking
not even good
birds
not like fucking
cockatoos or eagles
or shit we care about,
fucking magpies.
We get magpies in Scotland.
Do they swoop people?
No.
No, they fucking don't.
Do you know why?
Because we fucking taught them lessons.
I wasn't there for it, but I'm pretty sure,
I'm pretty sure there was one time in history
where the magpies in Scotland were like,
we're going to do swooping season.
And Scotland went, you know what?
We're all going to get into fucking tennis
that's when that mutation ends
aye
you just
Aussies are just like
I can't believe they're like
no no no
we can't disturb
this creature's
area
because it was here
originally
and this is
get that fucking abo out of here
it needs to stay there
and we need to protect because it's
been here a lot why is he there move along move along why is he there why is he there their day
is in like 14 fucking day oh that's what they did it's what they do let's not no no it is gone
this isn't buddy buddy this isn't this isn't New Zealand
right
Australia's
trying
you know
but
it's a
it's a big hole
they gotta fucking
dig themselves out of
long way to go
aye
like
you gotta remember man
Aboriginal
AFL players
here
to this day
still get
absolutely
fucking
barbaric
like
Italian
football
fans
yeah
absolutely
fucking
like
it's
and don't
be wrong
you don't want
to be
competitive
Italian
football
fans
like
do better
no no
and it's
not
it's
obviously
wrong to
say it's
all of
Australia
because
there are
you know
it's
there are
so many
liberal
parts
of
Australia
that are
doing
their best
to
acknowledge what's happened in the past
they're trying to change
fucking
there's a day here which is like Australia Day
but the left are like it's invasion day
Anzac Day?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
That's the forces isn't it?
That's the forces
Australia, New Zealand, Armed
Corps
So Anzac Day is that,
but there's also Australia Day,
which people are just like...
So they're Columbus Day, you mean?
Yes.
Right, okay, got you.
So they're like,
we can't call it Australia,
let's just fucking change the date.
Let's stop celebrating the fact
that we came over here
and wiped 90 fucking percent
of these people out
and made our own country.
We want to do it.
This conversation is happening in Australia
and it would be wrong to say that there aren't people out here fighting our own country. We want to do it. This conversation is happening in Australia and it would be wrong to say
that there aren't people out here
fighting the fucking good fight.
But it would also be wrong to say
that they're winning.
I don't know.
There's too many people that are just like,
it's tradition.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just the fucking...
You're like, well, if you cared about traditions...
One thing I do like
about Australians
is they've got
firm handshakes
the majority of them
like I haven't had
a bad handshake yet
and I've discovered it
more so since I've
hurt my hand
I love about Australia
is the fact that
it's one of the few
countries where I can
be very very honest
about all of my
opinions on them
and I don't have to
caveat it with
I love Australia
we get it, I know
like in America you have to
I've said this before and I'll say it again
every time you even dare
fucking be like I think America
could be slightly improved in
this way, you've got to be like I love America
and you've got to sing the fucking national anthem
and you've got to fucking bend the knee love America. And you've got to sing the fucking national anthem and you've got to fucking
bend the knee to fucking Trump
and then you get to say,
I actually think
your food is shit.
And you just cover up
how shit your food is
by giving people
larger portions
and you'll still lose
50% of your fucking audience.
I opened the fucking show
in Brisbane the other day
with the extermination
fucking line
and they lost their fucking minds, man.
Like, and on both sides of the fucking spectrum.
Aussies are, at least from my experience,
really hard to sincerely offend.
Yeah, and they can laugh at themselves.
With America, it's like you have to have your HR
head on call them into the office
and tell them like,
look, you've been doing really well with your work,
you're hitting the quotas but you're just
not turning up on time
you're not in trouble
unless you improve this
you might be
but we just couldn't do that
keep that in
keep that in
keep absolutely
let's keep that in
as this man, this manly man,
flinched while setting the clap for this episode.
That's fucking, that's just an open wound.
Aye.
From?
From a vigil attack.
So, New Zealand has,
what I've, all this stuff, New Zealand has the I've all this stuff
New Zealand has the press
that Canada had
10 years ago
right
which is
the rest of the world
thinks it's this
amazingly forward thinking place
this liberal fucking
hub
this amazing sort of
thing
and when we're out in the
You're not that prime minister
Yes
I
Prime mistress
I think I'm not a caroler You're absolutely not especially since That prime ministeress. Yes, aye, aye. Prime mistress.
I think I've got to call her that.
You know, you absolutely not.
Especially since she's not the prime mistress anymore.
She's retired.
Jacinda Ardern was her name.
She was wonderful, wasn't she?
From what I heard, from all accounts, from the people.
So the sort of thing that's going around now is nobody under 20 in New Zealand can buy tobacco products
and then in 10 years nobody under 30 new zealand can buy tobacco products and then
in 10 years nobody under 30 will be able to buy tobacco products and they're basically phasing out
so that in 50 yeah yeah which is absolutely the right thing and then when we're in new zealand
we can buy fucking vapes everywhere and i talked to my friend greg who's there and i'm like i thought
new zealand was banning nicotine he's like just tobacco man like nicotine's too fucking big and
they're like you know they're doing this good thing we all fucking agree
but vaping is
still unknown
how fucking dangerous
it is
because it's only
been around
for fucking five years
and I think it's
far more addictive
because it's infinite
oh and it's infinite
you can do it
in the fucking house
finite thing
on a cigarette
means you have a smoke
and then you'll
put off and put off
and put off
until you're next door
and then you're going
right I'm feeling
a bit antsy
I'll have another smoke
with a vape
you'll just sit
reading your book
just fucking vaping constantly we get to Australia buy some
vapes and then Matthew when he arrives over he's like what does it say zero milligrams on it and
I'm like oh fuck I just bought one without nicotine in it all right fair enough and then we go down to
a vape store and I walk in this is the gold coast yeah yeah, yeah. And this is another reason why I love the Aussie attitude
to just everything so very fucking much.
I walk in and I go, we're just looking for some vapes.
And she's like, yeah, absolutely.
There's selections over here.
I'm like, where can we get ones that have got nicotine in them?
And she went, oh, so nicotine vapes are actually illegal in Australia
and cannot be sold. And I went, yeah, I know that vapes are actually illegal in Australia and cannot be sold.
And I went, yeah, I know that, but where can I get them?
And she went, Dave's Vape Shop over the road.
Because you're going through the beads like you're going to get
in a video shop back in the day where they used to have the porn in the back.
Not even that fucking thing.
We walk in, because I'm expecting to do the thing where I'm like,
right, we've got to go in and do the like
look over the shoulder
but make it not look
like you're a cop
being like
so we're just here
for some vapes
do you guys do some
nicotine vapes
and she just pushes
the menu that's on the table
and she's like
these are all nicotine vapes
and I'm like
you fucking guys
like
if only you could apply
that fucking lax attitude
to your shitty
shitty
shitty ass traffic lights.
Oh, mate, it's the pedestrian ones that couldn't give a fuck about you.
What?
They couldn't give a fuck.
They're going, right, we're going to have like eight rotations of cars
and then we'll let you through for a second,
like miss that window by looking at your phone and you're done.
Another minor gripe I have about these trains, man,
the traffic lights take fucking ages to change it.
But to be fair, on the other side of that,
they also let you through for ages.
So even though it's annoying to sit there for four minutes,
when you're 50 deep in a traffic thing,
you're like, oh, I reasonably might get through
on the next one though.
So that's not too fucking bad.
Nobody in this country...
Is in a hurry to get off the bus.
I've not seen anyone move off when it turns orange
I've not even seen
anyone move off
when it turns green
whenever it turns green
every Aussie goes
I'll just double check
left
right
mirrors
and
go
and you're like
you fucking arse
go
this is every car
just being driven
by a koala
yeah
it's also
I think it might be
because it's so long
on red
that like
you can't not
just get your phone out
so it's probably
just a bunch of people
just going
I'm not just going to
sit here existing
yeah
I'm not mindful enough
to just sit here
looking at the lights
for this long
so I'm just going to
go and play a snake
I do agree
Australia, if you're going to have traffic lights
that remain red for
four minutes at a time
you do have to have an episode
of Bluey going on just beside
that traffic light
You and Bluey man
What's your fucking problem?
It's good
I just didn't think
there should have any
traffic lights
what you'd rather
people were on their phone
watching Bluey
looking down
no
you get man
cut in the middle man
just play it right on
is that the perfect sized episode for an Aussie traffic light yeah man is that the perfect
sized episode
for an Aussie
traffic light
yeah
man
it's the perfect
it's the perfect
perfect thing
and there's
oh man
I didn't realise
sorry to go to another
bluey ramp
that is the greatest
thing that's ever
been created by
in any form of art form
it's all set in Brisbane
and
apparently
there's this fucking
I didn't realise
there was a bluey
reddit thankfully but like because of the algorithm
understanding what I watch
when I'm on Reddit now it'll be like
do you want to join the Bluey subreddit and I'm like
no but it'll still show me things
and there's a map of Brisbane
where it shows you in every episode of Bluey
where they go some place
and this is where this is
and this is where this is
and I'm like god I think I'm such a fucking dad because I'm like
If Kai wasn't here we would go to all of these places
We can we can we can go to the beach where she meets the crabs we and lunch to walk by herself
We can go to the big peanut that they take on the fucking road trip a trip to avoid the grey nomads
that's pretty fucking cool
that's a great episode
we can go to the school
that they go to
the parties they go to
oh man
you can go everywhere
but it's a drawing
what?
it's a drawing of the place
can I do that?
no, no, hold on
that's what Aussies look like
they're all dogs
They're all fucking dogs
Well drawn dogs, sorry
Really well drawn dogs
You'd know that dog's immediately looking at them
Matthew
Well, he's catatonic
Do you reckon the audio is picking up
Dogatonic
Not through a cat's ear, mate
Absolutely not
Do you reckon
Even though we've got
An exceptional sound system
Do you think it's picking up
Your dad's snoring
Because I can hear it
No it's not
It's not
It doesn't look like it
No
Aye
How do
How did you
Find the
Flight out here
Because this is definitely
The furthest you've Ever fucking Well because It's the furthest you can this is definitely the furthest you've ever fucking...
It's the furthest you can fly.
It's the furthest you can fucking fly.
How was the flights for you?
It was all right.
I mean, I slept intermittently, but nothing consistent.
But I was like 30 minutes of sleep,
then waking up for 10, then going back the whole way.
It wasn't anything nice.
Yeah, if you know you're not like staying awake for long
you end up like
looking on your phone
and I fucking hate that
because it's like
it's finite scrolling
and then you go back
and you've just got
the same things to scroll
I've whiled away
so many hours
on flights
looking at the same shit
that's pretty low
not on your phone
just being like
well I guess I'll just read
all of the comments
I hate it
but I
I didn't
I like watching films on my iPad way more
than I like watching it on the
screen on the telly
they're just never really good screens
the headphones
they're just like you want to use your headphones?
well tough luck you're going to need this one
and you're just like well fuck you I've got good headphones
it only works in the left ear
what if I
shugle it
oh okay
how about
no ears
oh fuck
I guess
this entire
movie is
happening
over there
because I
mentioned I
watched a film
on the flight
that like
everyone had
watched and
you already
spoke about
and I was like
I'll finally
watch that film
on the flight
and then Elliot
was just like
just as the
director intended
this
and that like actually resonated with us it's like nobody's making a film thinking like finally watched that film on the flight. And then Elliot was just like, just as the director intended this.
And that actually resonated with us.
It's like, nobody's making a film thinking like, ooh, watch this on the flight
in all of its glory.
I watched The Green Knight on the way over.
It's got that actor from Skins,
Slumdog Millionaire.
Dev Patel?
Yes, thank you.
Dev Patel.
I fucking love Dev Patel as an actor.
He's got Hasty Lion.
Yeah, superb.
That was one where I nearly cried,
but didn't because I'm not Milo.
Oh, okay.
I wept.
I wept at least three separate points
during that movie,
quite openly in a cinema in New York.
And then five years later,
during lockdown,
made Cara watch it.
I was like,
this movie will get you crying.
So sad.
And when the sad thing happens, I'm there with tears,
fucking streaming down my tits and I turn around.
I'm like, see, this will make, oh, you're on your phone.
Okay.
Oh, no.
I think she enjoyed it.
Trying to connect to the airplane Wi-Fi to see how it ends.
Is it her that does that?
Yes, that is her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I watched The Green Knight.
The Green Knight The Green Knight
because I saw the advert
and it looked fucking weird
it looked good
I'd never found the time
to watch it
it's the sort of thing where
it's not something
Cara would watch
so I'm like the only way
I'm ever going to watch this
is when I'm on a flight
so it was when we were
coming back from India
I think it was
it had Joel Edgerton in it
who I fucking love
as an actor as well
fucking stack of shit man
the ending is horrible
just nothing really
the actual story
because I watched the trailer and I loved the trailer
so I went and read the story and I was like
oh this is going to be fucking sick
and then they do all the story points
that lead up to this ending
and then for no reason
at the end they just change the last 10 minutes
so none of it
pays off
and none of it
makes sense
they don't tie up
all of the stuff
that they set up
there's like
because there's bits
where like he kisses
the king on the mouth
and stuff
and then there's
these people
that you don't really
know what they're doing
he goes through
all these challenges
and the whole point
is at the end
is that he's being tested
to see whether
he's a good knight
or not
necking on with the king's part of his criteria.
Aye.
Have you not
got your jury
duty letter that on the king's coronation you've got to
go there and kiss King Charles?
Aye. Otherwise you're not
going to be a good knight. And if you're not a good knight, you don't get
any good knight sleep.
I hate that. I hate that so much. That was like the film you were talking about. It does all this stuff and then at the end it's like what the fuck was that at the end? Was the end
of it just baffled us?
Man, it was funny.
I didn't even realise that that joke was going to come out of my mouth.
I love doing that to myself.
When the joke that comes out is one that I also like and I didn't know was coming.
You tried to hire me, not under the bus,
you tried to call me out on something that I didn't do yesterday.
Why?
Beeb's done a joke
that he clearly does
all of the time.
And it was when
Mallory had that wedding album out
and he was showing
Cara's mum and dad the pictures.
He leaned over and went,
Mallory's the one in the white dress.
And I was just like,
how many times have you done that, man?
And you were just like,
ah, you blame Natalie for that.
I'm like, I will fight this corner.
That's a different thing.
When you say something, she's like,
how long have you been waiting to tell that joke?
Yeah.
And always at a clearly improvised moment
where your brain just grabs on something.
Yeah, that is like two completely different things.
I hope you understand.
I do, I do.
I hope you didn't understand you didn't catch me
in the act of doing the thing that I
that I
pull people for
I got
my dad today
properly fucking buckled up
when we were at the zoo
oh fucking here comes
a little monster
hello dickhead
hello
trotting away
we
were watching the bird show
at Crumbin Zoo
right
and Cale was fascinated
it was so good
he should have been so tired
but all of these birds are flying just above his head
so that's fine
maybe you should shut the door
actually just in case
You're at the bird show did you say?
We're at the bird show
Wouldn't be me like
Well we figured since you weren't there we might as well take advantage of you
I'm there in full body armour
And a green knight
Ready to kiss a kingfisher
We
Were watching it
And they've got like
They've got fucking
Some big ass fucking eagle
That comes out
They've got a couple of owls
Owls that come out
And then
And they're like
And
One of the nation's
favourite birds is here
the black cockatoo
Kelly Minogue
I went, I've heard you like a black cockatoo
Oh man
Sorry I didn't say that, Alfie Brown said that
Sorry, sorry, Alfie Brown
was there with us and he
and he didn yeah yeah and he
and there was
and he didn't say black
no no
and there
and there was
somehow there was a hard R
in bird

I nearly messaged him
I nearly messaged him
because it was
so Sean Walsh
is doing
Melbourne Comedy Festival
for the first time
and the fucking
poor boy
I think he's had
some form of illness
he had to cancel
fucking two of his shows
because he shat himself
in bed
he's got a fucking
migraine so he's clearly not having a great time shat himself in bed he's got a fucking migraine
so he's clearly not
having a great time
he finally wakes up
and he's like
I can't cancel
any more shows
regardless of how awful
I feel
like this is a dream
come true
and I'm so lucky
to be here
and I've already
disappointed people
that can't come
I'm gonna fucking
do the show
so he does this post
being like
Melbourne
that's it
the shows are going
ahead tonight
and somebody messaged
him being like
Melbourne are you opening for Daniel Sloss amazing and he was like post being like Melbourne that's it the shows are going ahead tonight and somebody mentioned it being like Melbourne
are you opening
for Daniel Sloss
amazing
and he was like
you'll like this
but I didn't
and I was going
to reply to him
just going hey
it's a decent living
it's an honest wage
aye
we should also
plug
we are adding
a third
Melbourne show
in that stupidly
big room it's reduced capacity
and by reduced capacity we mean
two and a half thousand tickets.
It's on at 4.30
during the
Melbourne Festival and that's hopefully so
that people who live slightly outside
of Melbourne and have children
have the opportunity to be able to come in and see the show
and be able to get back at fucking sensible
times. I'm sorry that I haven't put a have the opportunity to be able to come in and see the show and be able to get back at fucking sensible times
got you
so
I'm sorry that I haven't
put a live podcast out yet
I did mention that
there were management
and agent and stuff
and we're looking
into venues
and
ticketing
and all that sort of stuff
that comes with it
there's not for them
just yet
but
we could maybe
just
have a word with Dan
well let's do the X-Fat again
and just do it low key
and it doesn't have to be like, we can just announce it
on the Patreon page
That's the way it fucking should be done right because the
fucking, Slauson Humphreys
live during Edinburgh
was 30%
podcast listeners and
70% people who just came to
see me because they didn't get
tickets for other shows.
And it felt like that for the first 20 fucking minutes.
Like it didn't feel like we were getting the people that understand our sense of humour.
So I actually, I personally always prefer the live shows
when it's 100% the fucking podcast.
So let's do it like pure low-key then,
and I'll put it on the Patreon message
like just as a
like as a text post
aye
and we'll just do an
afternoon or something
in the XFAD
and just have it like
put a low key like that
aye
and we'll have fun that way
and also
if you're not Patreon
don't worry
we will also tell you
the fucking things
but just don't bring your friends
who don't listen to the podcast
just exclusively
people that can listen to the podcast just exclusively people
that can
listen to all of our ignorance in a room
while we get drunk
but that'd be good
because there'd be so many people there for good guests
like Milo's in town
Milo done the Formula 1
he went to Melbourne
Grand Prix done Greatest
Guild like
everyone
Lewis Hamilton
Verstappen
Toto Wolff
fucking works man
like
everybody that came
into the paddock
everybody who's anybody
in Formula 1
he flirted with
on their way
through the door
and he doesn't know
who any of them are
which is good
for the bit
it's good
like it's better
for the bit
if he doesn't know who he's talking to because it's better for the bit if he doesn't know
who he's talking to
because it's better
for his composure
I'm so
very
happy
for all
of Milo's success
except when he gets
shit like that
and I'm like
but I'm
I'm like
what
were you motherfucker
he's got a free ticket
to the Formula 1
he couldn't give a fuck
like meeting all the
Man City team
he could have went to the game
but like he just didn't
call a football
man it's like fucking sending
the top 10 porn stars
in the world
to the fucking Vatican
it's fucking wasted on them
right
it's just not gonna go
down where
I mean speaking of
you know you're saying
there's too many predators
in this country
the fucking church
in this country
is it worse than
no no it's not worse than Ireland
and it's not worse than America and it's not worse than America
but it's still
like there was a guy
called I believe
George Pell
who was like some
fucking high up
fucking minister
over here
and he was just
a big fucking
Aussie nonce
who nonce
and all he did
was nonce
and he loved
sucking little boys cocks
and loved wanking them off
and he loved all that
fucking shit
his job was his hobby
aye aye
you gotta do what you
fucking love
and he's dead now
thank fucking god
never worked a day in his life
he's dead now and hopefully his children. Never worked a day in his life.
He's dead now, and hopefully his children are sad.
But, like, it was that thing, you know,
the way all of Christianity is like,
remember history, except for the stuff we did.
Remember specifically 2,000 years ago when the one good Christian was alive.
And by the way, he wasn't a Christian, he was a Jew.
But let's not read into that.
Yeah.
You know, like, Australia feels like this country that christian he was a jew but let's not read into that uh there you know that there like
australia feels like this country where you go it's a bit christian and you go only in the
fucking outskirts adelaide is the fucking capital of churches but i mean christ church religious
place in new zealand because it's called christ church. Yeah. Didn't seem that way. No. And, you know, none of the fucking Maori fucking gods bother me.
Like, you know, when they, you know,
we were watching the Australian season of Alone last night
and there was a Maori guy on it and like.
Alone with friends.
Alone with friends.
You're never alone when you're alone with friends.
I bet on a guy.
Let's get back to your point right in
a minute but you bet on the maori guy he was a maori guy yeah yeah the guy with the fucking long
dreads the first thing he did when he got so he's from new zealand the series takes place in tasmania
and man i do find like that i i find like tribal culture so very interesting. I find old, like people that are holding onto the past
in like a good way.
I just find it so very interesting
because it's like, oh, this is how people live.
This guy knows, on the other seasons of Alone,
the people know how to make traps
because they're Americans who are obsessed with like hunting
and they learned it from their dad or their granddad or whatever.
And not to say that it's not been passed down for generations,
but if something is passed down from generations in america that's 120 years it's three generations
yeah fucking total yeah if you if you've got a native american that's how they passed down for
generations that's fucking old school so this fucking maori lad like is coming on and he gets
off the fucking boat and the first thing he does, and again look that's somebody that despises all of religion
right, this guy's coming on
and he starts speaking to the island and he
starts thanking it and explaining
and just explaining to the island, he's like I'm from this
tribe, from this part of the land, you probably
know her, you must be related probably
Have you seen Moana? Yeah, yeah we're all
together. That's Hawaii isn't it?
Aye, aye, aye. Damn it.
And he looks good man
like he's making
he's making this fucking
looking at this guy
and I hope this isn't racist
but my first thought
was like
that cunt
can make a canoe
oh yeah
he's like that
well I saw him
just cut
like he made a trap
for some water
and he fucking
he was managing
to get himself a drink
first up
and he was having
a bit of a like like, miss me family,
which is always a bad thing.
On day two, on day fucking, no.
If you're tired of being with your family,
like early doors on alone,
you're already, like, setting up your excuse
and, like, justifying its plausibility in your head.
Because it is a plausible excuse to want to be back with your family.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
But if you leave alone in the first week
because you miss your family
did you
when you were out there
when you were out there
practising making fires
in the bush
when you were out there
building fucking traps
and learning how to track animals
at no point
as part of your training
did you just go for a long
weekend away
in the Gold Coast
away from your family
in a nice
just be used to being away I'm not saying it's easy to be away from your family just be used to being
away, I'm not saying it's easy to be away from your family
I know how fucking difficult it is
but motherfucker, the only thing I can beat
everyone on a loan at is
being away from the family
that's the one
I was watching it while away from my family
and he was crying after one day
and I was just like, surely I should be
looking at people who are on a loan going, that looks really hard.
I shouldn't be watching the loan going,
I've been doing that for weeks now.
What are you talking about?
So I bet on him
and it is the quickest I've ever
lost a tenner and I've just gotten back
from Vegas. But it's almost as if the show
was left thing. It was like, here's the
winner of the show
and Kyle was like
I want him
he's dead
it was before
the opening credits
it was like
the end of the show
and I was like
I'll have that guy
that was drinking water
at the end
and then the next one
just bled through
and it was just like
a man crying on a boat
and you were like
that's your guy
and I'm like
you cut out the bit
where he tapped out
didn't even make the phone call
he's just floating off
into the distance
fuck's sake.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of the series, guys.
I'm just going to be sad here watching the footy.
But the difference between...
Because this is Australia's first season of Alone, right?
And it's so fucking different to the American season,
just in the language.
Because Americans don't swear because they can't
and it's not within their culture
and whenever Americans do
try to swear it's like
you know when AI videos now
are so fucking impressive
but the one thing they haven't nailed is
blinking, you can all tell it's an AI thing
because they blink fucking weird, that's
any American from any part of America
that's ever sworn at any point, it's like
oh hey AI, that's not real you're not a It's like, oh, hey, hey, ha, ha, ha, that's not real.
You're not a real person.
That doesn't fucking belong there.
Whereas Aussies, like the fucking Scots and the Brits,
it is part of the vernacular.
We were watching this fucking show last night,
and just like this 45-year-old, 47-year-old teacher,
secondary school teacher, she's out there, right,
and she fucking knows bushcraft like nothing else
right, and this fucking branch falls down
and she just goes, you fucking tree
cunt! And we're like
aww, this is Aussie
this is the most Aussie fucking thing
my guy, who I fucking bet on
because my thing is always, go for
ex-army people
not because they've got the best
skills but because if anyone knows ex-army people not because they've got the best skills
but because
if anyone knows
suffering
and how to survive
starvation
isolation
and really shit conditions
it's somebody who
trained to be
any armed forces
around the world
because that's what
the first year of
armed forces training is
how much do you think
life can suck
discipline and depravity
yeah yeah yeah
so I'm always
putting this this bald fucking aussie cunt right the one rule on a loan the one rule on a loan for
it do not drink any fucking water from anywhere unless you've boiled it into oblivion i and even
that even then even then it's coming through the trees always fucking pour the water this guy is
up to his fucking knee with a fucking bluey cup one of his
ten items and he's like
he's like oh is that down to drink the water
on a line you fuck yourself you drink the water on a line
nobody fucking tells me what to do
cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck
you can't tax bacteria
what am I doing and I'm like man
we're not here for the banter I've got a tenner
riding on you you've got 250
grand riding on this
what are you fucking doing you psychopath
he's probably an anti-vaxxer
because he doesn't like putting stuff that he doesn't know
in his body
and then he goes ahead and does that
and you're like alright
we have a
barbecue to go and host now
so I think we should probably go and do that
we'll get another podcast recorded here
another Patreon one recorded before we leave and then we might try and get
one done in adelaide or most likely sydney but we've got matthew and jack over here so hopefully
the quality of these will improve and the chances that they come out regularly yeah and uh come see
my solo shows in melbourne please yes come to your see your solo shows. And also Sydney and Perth, but Melbourne's first. Aye.
