Speaker 5:It's Kerm, it's Whiskeycom G.
Speaker 1:Are you like my intro?
Speaker 2:boys.
Speaker 1:Oh shit.
Speaker 2:The brick wall's gone. Yeah, so we have access to the brick wall when Giuseppe is at work and he's off work at the moment because he has had a child, so not him personally. Obviously, his partner passed the child through her vagina into the world. He did not do that, but he had a kid, which is fucking rad. We're super proud of him. We're super proud for Laura. Yeah, fuckers, and we're all the best to them. We do have, as you guys know, jamie. We've got Andrew for all our gaming and anime prowess and knowledge, and today we have Kermit filling in for Giuseppe, who is in the chat.
Speaker 5:G Well done man.
Speaker 2:Oh G's there, it would hurt way more.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you could pass it at your penile exit.
Speaker 1:The one piece is real. The one piece is real.
Speaker 3:Wombos.
Speaker 1:Shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so look, before we get started, a couple of housekeeping items. One is you can find us on Instagram, on Twitch and obviously on Spotify and iTunes, so I don't know what they call it on Apple. Youtube as well. Youtube yeah.
Speaker 3:YouTube what do they call?
Speaker 4:it on iTunes Apple Podcast. There we go. Not an Apple guy, I'm sorry, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't like Apple products. It's just that I don't personally use them.
Speaker 4:Although he did say he was going to smash my MacBook Because he had to try and set up this podcast on there again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, it's actively unhelpful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is. I got to set the podcast up on a PC today, oh my.
Speaker 1:God, it's so much better. Five minutes yeah, this was immediately easier. I have to say.
Speaker 4:Admit Yep, I can't deny. Yeah, it's very nice.
Speaker 2:And a big shout out to G. He is organizing, and has organized, a merch store for us, so we will show you guys what that stuff is going to be very soon. Stuff we got on the back burner for ages, but now we're back in the fucking wicked things. Yeah, we'll get the merch store up and running.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Now let's move on to our first point of order.
Speaker 5:Because we have a run sheet now. Thanks, I'm going in raw. I don't want to know what's coming up.
Speaker 2:So first of all, like a lot of people don't know much about Kermit through our channel, Some people might, so we just want to talk to Kermit a bit more about his stuff, and something that has happened recently is Kermit keeps inviting me to things and I keep not being available for them. And right down to the point where you invited me to something this weekend and it's my son's birthday party.
Speaker 5:Oh, no, totally fine.
Speaker 2:Every single time. Now, would it be correct to say that you are an aficionado of the mechanical arts, ie like cars, motorbikes and the like?
Speaker 5:Gifted amateur.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:That's a better way of putting it, yeah.
Speaker 2:I like that, I like that, I like that. So talk to us a little bit more about that, because you've been inviting me to a lot of drift things Like are you specifically into drift, or you like drag, or motor sport in general, Like I've oh shit, I started racing cars when I got my license.
Speaker 5:I started racing on a track when I was about 21. We're about, so I actually did got my intro to motorsport through scouting. Oh, like, okay, Like scouts.
Speaker 3:Scouts on a scouts.
Speaker 2:Scouts on a scouts.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay. So there's a further back now. Yeah, get into scouts.
Speaker 5:Yeah, oh God. So growing up, I grew up next to a park. On the other side of that park was a scout hall. Okay, all right, yeah, and it was like Proximity. Well, I have. Adhd. Yeah, Like you know, the fun mental illness.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, not the genius one that's autism.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:You're the one who's got no short-term memory, or like you know marketable skills.
Speaker 2:Well, what? Makes you fit in so well with us, I might say, is that you have a broad range of knowledge, sets and interests.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and that's because I have an internet connection and zero self-regulation.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's pretty much all of us.
Speaker 5:That locks you in pretty well with us.
Speaker 3:Pretty similar to what we do, yeah.
Speaker 2:So back to the car. So you started racing at 21 on track.
Speaker 5:Yes, so you know discipline called autocross or carna cross, which is essentially short course rally Right, so Fucking rad. Yeah, yeah, sick so the cars needed to have a roll cage. It was a max speed, max speed of about 100 K an hour.
Speaker 2:Yep and there were certain other track design elements.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, You're here too. So you know you're here to give you a license, which is you go on a website and you pay money and they give you a license Nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah so there's no, that's normally what they are Cash grabs yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but it is an official, like FIA affiliate. Yeah, yeah, so it's the same. It's the same body governing body that V8 supercars are under. So any motorsport in Australia goes through what was cams, which was the confederation of Australian motorsport, is now motorsport Australia.
Speaker 2:The confederacy. Yes, that was just down the road from Scooterhut. Also known as the Confederates.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it was down near Oakley there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Right near the bridge.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't know why. I knew that. Why, dude?
Speaker 5:That's why you drive past something and you're like oh. I know that Like the corner of.
Speaker 4:Good branding Logo was really stand out.
Speaker 5:Yeah, 100%, you could. Always you're driving past. It's like yep, it's a big race car with cams written on it.
Speaker 2:So you start racing young Like. What are you like? What are your highlights? What are the things that you remember the most from racing Good versus bad?
Speaker 5:There wasn't much bad, to be honest.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no shit.
Speaker 5:We weren't racing for money. We weren't racing, it was for a bit of fun, yeah.
Speaker 3:Hobbies yeah.
Speaker 5:We built a car for less than two grand.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:We just picked up an old laser through a roll cage in it. That was practically it where we started.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:And the people that we were racing against. Everyone was there to have fun, yep. So if your car broke, you had half of the guys in the pits jumping into Swinger's Banner to donate parts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's all they. That's awesome yeah.
Speaker 1:Just for some mad camaraderie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So I think he was the one who recently got out of it because he's traveling around Australia, but he was in an Excel racing league like the Hyundai Excel. Have you watched that?
Speaker 3:And yeah, because he was in it yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he told me the same thing and he was a mechanic by trade for his whole life, until he retired.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you just have like pits full of dudes like that.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's it, and it's the same in the drift community that I'm finding now. I didn't have a large interest in drift until an old mate of mine who I raced with. We did scouts together.
Speaker 2:Sorry until Fars and Furious took it.
Speaker 5:No, no, he's one of my favorite like movies of the series. Yeah, yeah, like it's fun. The soundtrack is dope.
Speaker 2:Rad cars like rad JDM, like awesome, fucking sick cars.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they could do more drifting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they didn't do a whole lot of drifting in it. They did some, they did some, they did some.
Speaker 5:There are a couple of really cool cameos in that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Like the two guys that are fishing on the docks. One of them is the guy who invented drift.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't realize that was him. I've seen a video on that dude.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same.
Speaker 5:I can't remember the name. Yeah, he's sick. Yeah, sorry, go ahead yeah.
Speaker 1:I was going to say I watched maybe that same video, just like you know, YouTube spiral, and I was like that dude is awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because there was. There was like a. I might be wrong and you guys might be able to correct me, but was there not a? It was like a unmediated strip where there was like no regulation law and it was like a curved kind of like S bend road and just would go through there.
Speaker 5:It's spelt to get to. It's a mountain pass essentially, yeah Like from the top of Mount Dandenong to the bottom, similar, similar sort of road. Yeah, it wasn't closed, it was just They'd stick people along it with the radio. And they'd go hey, there's a fucking car coming.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then they would stop yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:But it was completely illegal.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Like yeah, but yeah, there was like some sort of weird law thing where they weren't getting like actually charged, so like police would come and they were told them to leave, but they couldn't like charge them. And it wasn't two years later that they were able to actually put like a road law in, because it was like a privately owned yeah, it could be Area.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know. No, I don't know about that one, but you probably right. Like either that or it was an actual strip that everyone just wrote raced anyway.
Speaker 2:Mm-mm-mm.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, Sorry, continue the drag community Yep Is the same, Like I was there. So so the reason that I'm now getting involved in that is because, yeah, I made that, I did Rovers with, which is the 18 to 26. Oh, yep, yeah, which is the 18 to 26 year old. Yeah, section of scouting, yep. So I did Rovers with with this guy, mm-hmm. Then we lived together. Then we worked and lived together. Yeah, yeah, we've. We've been close friends for a number of years and he, he had an old skyline that he decided.
Speaker 2:Awesome.
Speaker 5:Yep, I'm going to start throwing this into corners, and just someone told me they wanted an old skyline recently. It might have been G.
Speaker 2:Actually there are a few, yeah, in varying states of build.
Speaker 5:But, yeah, so I started going along just to support him. Yeah, I, I he's ADHD as shit as well. Yeah, so we get along really well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah you guys can, you guys can hyper focus together.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, like some of the builds he's done, I think I've sent you, and probably probably Andrew as well, I've sent some photos of his build 100%. Like the airbrushed rust on the motorbike tank.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go Like just, was he the guy that had that mighty boy, or was that a different person?
Speaker 5:No, that was a diff that was just at the show and shine.
Speaker 2:Anyone who doesn't know what a mighty boy is. It's like a really scaled down ute and the back carriage section could maybe, maybe house like a slab.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, it is not.
Speaker 2:But they're like hilarious and they look awesome anyway.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they're very cool so, but yeah, so I started going along there and it's the same Foxy, I don't know any of those words?
Speaker 1:Don't worry.
Speaker 5:Foxy. But yeah, it's the same community. Like there was a guy driving a BMW who just punted it into a wall, oh yeah, like completely destroyed the front end and he pulled it into the pits People he'd never met before. Yeah, we're just like cool. Tell me what you need removed. Yeah, let's get this apart fix it up and get it back out on track. That's right, that's sick yeah.
Speaker 4:Um you know, uh, Liam went drift go carding once and that ended up well.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, so Jamie graciously brought me um along for one of the events he was organizing and um one of the uh. So he was basically hosting like, uh, like an extreme sports thing, and one of the like things that they did in the downtime was to go go carding. And I went right up the fucking rear end of this dude so hard that it popped up the car in front of him and it the cart, landed between him holding the steering wheel in his hand and it was jammed. Yeah.
Speaker 4:And so this guy was meant to be competing for 25 grand the next day and ended up having to just just roll around for his runs.
Speaker 5:Just had to just cause you want to tap some fun, yeah, and like ruin his way To his credit he never really um, he never really held it against me or anything like that. He didn't know he was a really nice guy. He didn't have any total shells.
Speaker 2:No, dude. The other thing was, uh, when that happened, I witnessed a um form of, you know, when people are in like those uh um scenarios where it's like a life threatening scenario and you see someone perform an extreme feat of strength, like the mother lifting the car off the bed. Yeah, that happened. So I saw this man who was both smaller in frame and thinner than me Yep, One arm, a full go cart with a human being in it, straight up, straight up.
Speaker 1:And they're heavy man.
Speaker 2:They have engines in them, yeah, and I was like for the, for the size of the guy, I was like, well, like, like I walked away from that remembering this one moment where it was just like bang straight off his fingers, cause it was obviously like he crushed his fingers. So he was just like bang straight up, ouch. But he wouldn't have thought that at the time, he wouldn't have thought, ooh, I can't lift this weight. He just went bang straight up.
Speaker 5:It's like there's somebody who's in dire need of help right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:We just want to say a quick thanks to a VK in the chat, cause Foxy's. Just like I have no idea where these words are, including slab, which is just common, common slang, yeah, just a case of view.
Speaker 5:I went full Australian, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, like I was like what words does me? Oh, all of them, all of them, that's right. Yes, yes, all our things.
Speaker 5:Yes, I'll bet, I'll bet yeah. So you, tiny pickup, tiny pickup truck. Yeah, um slab case of beer, I don't know what else.
Speaker 1:We'll think about this. Yeah, we'll do it. Fun time, fun time.
Speaker 2:Now um now, I've started garnering a lot of interest in the JDM community and the drift community.
Speaker 2:Just cause, like, I'm super interested in it and I think it's really cool, I'm in zero danger of becoming a driver in this, what I've now recognized as an art form. Yeah, um, because I'm quite bad at driving now, not in the, not in the way that, like you know, I'm a danger on the road. Just that I know that I'm not a good like, I know I wouldn't be a good like racer and I'm not really good at like.
Speaker 2:I'm not good at like you know swinging the back end around like it's nothing I've ever done.
Speaker 5:So you take out multiple horses.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But you know, what is funny is what really got me interested in this is Andrew introducing me to GTA online and me getting into like tuners. And then obviously there's, like you know, like movies and stuff like that, and it's really hard. Like I don't consider myself to be like really like um, like masculine or anything like that, but there are like really typical boy things that I'm into and one of them is cars. I can't help it, that's fair. Yeah, I just have like a general interest in cars because I don't know why I just do yeah.
Speaker 5:You say it's a typically masculine thing. Yeah, one of the best drivers I have ever seen. She's got a classic skyline. Yeah, one of the rare ones. Harder to get Um. Are we talking old like the?
Speaker 2:ones square Tail lights too fast, too furious. Gotcha yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 5:I know exactly what you mean yeah, yeah, so she drives one of them and she is nails done Calisthenics and pole when she's driving a car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, stop girls, yeah.
Speaker 5:And just it's really cool seeing that it isn't so male dominated.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, yeah, 100%, let's go.
Speaker 2:It's open to being oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:It doesn't matter who you are like, and there's no advantage to being male or female, like the, the physicality, doesn't matter, yep.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yep, yep. I'm, uh, and like I do want to be like sort of like semi involved in the JDM scene and um.
Speaker 5:I will take you to as many events as you like my way to do that, though Wait for it. Is uh Kermit knows.
Speaker 2:Kermit knows because I messaged Kermit because I had a question for him. So I'm buying what is called a K truck. You guys might, anyone at home might need to. I'll get back to that. Noopa, um, like, um, it's called a K truck and you know. You guys might not know what that is and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, because they are imports. But effectively it's like it's about K E I truck and it's just a really scaled down worker truck and they are so, in my eyes, cool Um and I'm high ice van with the back cut off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And miniature, so like it's the size of a regular car, but it's a truck and I don't know. I've fallen in love with them and I am getting one. And I I messaged Kermit to ask him about insurance or if any of his friends have dealt with it before, because, um, the regular, conventional ways that you would get insurance for them. There's no template for it, so yeah.
Speaker 1:So now I mean it's put into a quote yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So, and I want to have that shit like locked down before I go ahead and buy it. So yeah, I'm currently in talks with someone to figure that out. Yeah, but when I do get my K truck, oh baby, like I'll be down there and I know that like I'm not going to do any of the driving or anything, but I'll be there.
Speaker 5:People get around, there are like the mighty boy that I sent you the photo was part of a show and shine and a lot of these events. You'll just be able to like enter your car in a show and shine. See the weird car, the unusual one, yeah.
Speaker 4:There's a guy in the country music scene that has a 1984 or 85 Magna wagon. Yeah, he just won hottest wagon at a show and shine and it's not had anything done, it's just immaculate. It's just like every like and he, like it was hilarious, like he had a picture of the lineup of cars and they're like hot it up wagon. Yeah like off their absolute heads and you just see his magna just glisten in in the sun.
Speaker 4:Yeah, like course winner yeah like Troll pick full immaculate Like it was, just it wasn't even driven before. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he won Dude.
Speaker 2:I can be you, Liam Dude, driving down, driving around. Now I literally look at older cars and I'm like, oh, that's got potential, Like, and it's just a piece of shit. And I'm like, and I look at them and I'm just like I don't look quite good, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1:Now, I've always liked that kind of car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just like yeah. I love this piece of crap. Yeah, I wish it ran better. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I think you have a soft spot for muscle cars though, andrew.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got a soft spot for a muscle car.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, you can't not though.
Speaker 2:You do get swept up in it, though. There is a dealership, or there was a dealership, in Morabin, and that's right. They had a, they had a replica generally there and but they had like a bunch of muscle cars there and you look at them and you're like these are kind of affordable.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:They definitely used to be. I I sold multiple cars for a case of beer at different times in my life that I look back on and go well, fuck, there's 25 grand now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:That's rough, yeah, because once they hit a certain mark, they just go boom.
Speaker 5:Yeah, just through the roof. Yeah, absolutely yes.
Speaker 2:This should be a relatively easy question for the group of us, but pretty hard for Kermit. But what is the favorite car you've owned? I already know, I already know, I already know.
Speaker 5:Oh OK, all right, he still has it. Let us kick us off, I still have it. It is my first car, my Green Tirana, first car.
Speaker 2:I've bought it when I was 16.
Speaker 5:No Corpus what's up, dude? What was that you do, man? Yeah, like it was. I mean, I did catch a glimpse. So two birds with one stone, it was my dream car. It is my dream car, Like Do you still have it? I've still got it, oh that's the yeah, that's the grommet. Oh, yes, so good.
Speaker 4:So what year is it?
Speaker 5:It's a 1977. Are you getting that fuzz?
Speaker 1:Yeah, getting some fuzzy, feedback. Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 2:Chat Getting a bit of fuzz. Am I sitting too close? Oh, it might be one of our things.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Something's come loose by the sounds of it.
Speaker 2:I haven't just checked the back, just fiddle them around a bit. Uh, do, do, do, do.
Speaker 3:Get one of the music buttons while we're trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no fuzz, you guys are fine. Yeah, we'll take that no fuzz.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, cool. Thanks, matt, and hi, by the way, how you doing man.
Speaker 5:We can deal with fuzz.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, that's cool If you guys aren't getting it, that's all I care about yeah, we get it, we get it.
Speaker 4:G Yep, matt already told us.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:But yeah, like millionaire, like lotto winner money, yep, Still my dream car.
Speaker 2:Oh, there goes my second question.
Speaker 5:Yep, sorry, let's just do them both at the same time.
Speaker 4:Andrew, can you pass us that and not look?
Speaker 2:Andrew to head your favorite. He's still on the first page. Man, he hasn't looked.
Speaker 5:That's why I was like no, I'm going to close it.
Speaker 2:Because I caught a glimpse of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:I'm going to start thinking about this shit.
Speaker 2:Sorry, yep, I want to know your Deep throat, the mic. Favorite car you've ever owned, and then your dream car no budgetary issues.
Speaker 1:Interesting. I absolutely loved my first car, 85 Honda Prelude. Seen a trend here, yep, so good.
Speaker 2:I wish I still had that. I looked at imports for buying second hand from Japan and getting it imported and they're pretty affordable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I don't know the yeah. Yeah, it sounds good, no, I mean worth it.
Speaker 2:I don't know the dicking around to like get it road worthy for Australia and stuff, because Japan has different road laws and really strict ones.
Speaker 5:It's so good, though it's not difficult oh really OK.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can also get people to curate it for you, so you can hire someone to like go to auction. You give them a budget and then the budget needs to include like them to get it in and road worthy for Australia. Got you, got you.
Speaker 5:So you're like this is what I will pay.
Speaker 3:Specializes in importing JD cars Important monster. I'm my free plug Sponno.
Speaker 2:I might hit you up for them if my other one gets sold, before I figure out my other stuff. But yeah, I'll put that on the back burner.
Speaker 1:No, first car, 8500 prelude Absolutely fucking loved it man. Sunroof, electric, sunroof, electric windows, Pop up fucking headlights man.
Speaker 4:Electric Corboy. What I'm tipping too the Japanese and Europeans were so far advanced compared to the American and Australian markets.
Speaker 1:So fucking far.
Speaker 5:And I saw something recently where you know Germany make fantastic cars your Merck's, your BMW's all of that Volkswagen's yeah.
Speaker 1:Volkswagen but they turn off when you stop.
Speaker 5:Known for their reliability. Yeah, and that's because of the German versus Japanese way of thinking. Germany, this is how we've designed the car to be used. If it's used this way, it will last forever. Japanese go, we are going to make the strongest car we can, and then we're going to abuse the fuck out of it and fix what breaks. Which is why they're known for their longevity.
Speaker 2:So good. So the one, the car that I'm looking at, it's a Daihatsu and they're at the subsidiary of Toyota. So the engines that are in the Daihatsu that I'm looking at is, effectively, it's a Toyota engine.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, nice. Yeah, it's great there are so many different manufacturers that use Each others yeah. The Ford Ranger and Mazda.
Speaker 3:Yeah, same, they were the same.
Speaker 5:My Mazda is fantastic, like it's full of Ford parts.
Speaker 2:Be forward, spotto. Actually, corvus put me onto that website. Man, yeah, he was the one who told me about it and I was like dude. I spent many nights on that website.
Speaker 4:Just dreaming. I had a quick peak.
Speaker 2:Just dreaming, good old Camry. Took me a long time to decide, but yeah.
Speaker 5:Dream cars.
Speaker 2:So my favorite car of all time was also I actually know it wasn't my first car actually my favorite car of all time was a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport. It looked like an FBI four-wheel drive from, like a fucking I'm blanking on the name now it's so obvious the alien one, men in black.
Speaker 5:No, no, no no, the other alien, one More than that, sorry, independence Day.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I'm talking TV show Gilean Anderson.
Speaker 5:Oh, stargates Files X5s. Yeah, that looked like a MacGyver.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah. It looked like one of those like black boxed out FBI cars. I loved it. It was a hunk of shit. It broke down many, many times. I learned a lot about cars from owning that Jeep, as you're now going through.
Speaker 1:Yeah 100%, it's very interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's something about Jeeps that's so alluring, and the fact that they are hunks of shit doesn't deter you from buying them out?
Speaker 1:Not in the slightest. I don't know what it is man, mine's practically falling apart and I'm still just like eh off to work.
Speaker 2:I loved it.
Speaker 1:I loved it.
Speaker 5:They take a beating, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I think like my dream car and what I say is like going to be my retirement car. I would love a 90 to 94-ish 911 Turbo, a Porsche.
Speaker 4:And I would just polish it every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the fluffy steering wheel cover.
Speaker 5:Yeah, absolutely. You'd be like that With that Porsche. You'd be like the Italian bloke watering his drive. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, just every day out there, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just pull it out. Pull it out Polish it. Put it back in. Yeah, I probably won't be able to get into it.
Speaker 4:If we're too low, what about you?
Speaker 2:What was your favorite car?
Speaker 4:My favorite car was my first car. It was a 1987 Toyota Celica In Burgundy.
Speaker 2:Love that.
Speaker 1:Love the pop-up lights. Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 4:And I used to get air in it going down build highway 1987.
Speaker 5:Was that the?
Speaker 4:1984? Yes, yeah, there's a little box here. Still, it was before they went to the round things yeah just before the last model before they went to the round of the rounded like fronts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, gotcha, and I fucking love that car man. It was the fucking best.
Speaker 5:Yeah, mrs Kermit's first car was a Celica. Yeah and fuck, I had fun in that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when we started dating.
Speaker 5:I'm like I'm just going to take your car.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:How did we take your car, I'll drive. It used to steer like butter, like there was no weight to the car.
Speaker 5:Mm-hmm yeah.
Speaker 4:Just fucking.
Speaker 5:yeah, it was good, no they can talk steer like a bitch. You take off hard enough from the lights, it's just skating.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I fucking love that car. So there was that. And then dream car. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if I have a dream car.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 4:I'm not that into cars, yeah.
Speaker 5:But like as much as.
Speaker 4:G has pointed out, I don't have my dream car, I have a family car. Thank you, G yeah.
Speaker 2:But like you know, you like you win the lottery, or you know, one of your family members, if I could buy like a car tomorrow that I really want.
Speaker 4:Yeah, car would want. I don't know if it's a dream car per se, I actually like the Jag SUVs, oh OK.
Speaker 1:Sure, why don't you just get one of them? Then you just bought a car the Jag SUV is about three times the price.
Speaker 5:I see, I see Not the Ferrari.
Speaker 4:No, no, I'll leave that for Giuseppe. He's more token walk than I am. Yeah, I would have been his answer, although he's doing more talking in the chat than he does on the podcast.
Speaker 5:He could get a word in in the chat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have to wait for us to stop talking.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I'm right there with you, though, Jamie. My little sister's first car was like a 90, 91 Celica. But same thing, my car, your car. So much fun, oh dude.
Speaker 2:So much fun. What was your dream car again.
Speaker 1:You just kind of moved away from it.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, Sorry, I think that was great.
Speaker 1:No, I'm just fucking with you. I did do that though. You did do that, you did move on and he was like also what's Jamie's? I'm like.
Speaker 3:I guess it's fine.
Speaker 1:I hadn't even finished talking about my favorite car, yeah yeah, he spent too long on it.
Speaker 4:It was a pretty good. We get it. Fuck you guys. It was awesome.
Speaker 1:Man, that thing got all four wheels airborne off a fucking speed bump once it was mint. Yeah, 70 fucking kilometers an hour in reverse Full ferrous fueler was the best. Anyway, there's been a couple of cars over the years that I was infatuated with. I guess the Dodge, venom, hennessy 1000 TT, whatever they did.
Speaker 2:Dude, when I was in high school, I was staring at that video like so long.
Speaker 1:It was just cool as shit, but they were cool. I went through so many Like I was like, yeah, I'd probably still want that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, I told G that if I won the lottery people would know, because we would all have magic eyes. You said that I was down. There was a discussion.
Speaker 3:There was a discussion.
Speaker 1:It was do we get the same cars, or do we get all of our dream cars in the same color scheme? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Or like the same category, yeah.
Speaker 4:It was so agreeable. I just thought my close second. I'm just going to go a little off script, which is just normal.
Speaker 5:How do you?
Speaker 4:A close second to my favorite car that I've owned, because I forgot that I had it for a second there. Another Japanese car was a Magna VRX circling backs on the Magnus. Yeah, I had a 2002 VRX.
Speaker 5:And that.
Speaker 4:Thing was fucking fun.
Speaker 5:Yeah, do you want another one? Try to get rid of one at the moment. Oh my God, yeah.
Speaker 4:Don't tempt me.
Speaker 2:I fucking love that car. It was good. It was like a sleeper at the time, because I can tell you what, from what I know about Jamie is all you got to do is wait six to nine months and he'll be sick of his current car, and then he'll sell that and he'll buy your one. Yep, it's the series three.
Speaker 5:VRX yeah, sitting there Like that slight gray leather interior.
Speaker 1:Don't you have a gray leather interior Mercedes sitting around somewhere?
Speaker 4:Possibly you do have a Mercedes somewhere.
Speaker 1:I was like I just occurs to me. I'm like why'd you buy?
Speaker 4:another car. It's not that great, though You're talking it up, making it sound like I just have Mercedes cars lying around.
Speaker 1:It's like a $4,000 Mercedes. Yeah, I forget, because it's stored in your other warehouse.
Speaker 4:Yeah, my other warehouse. This isn't GTA in real life, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's like GTA.
Speaker 4:He left it behind somewhere to go and elsewhere.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh shit, Good times.
Speaker 5:Don't fight the Fiat 500, Jamie. Oh man, I wore one so bad.
Speaker 4:Dax that used to work at Scooter Hut has the R-Barth. So the sports like tuned one. Holy shit, it's amazing.
Speaker 5:So little bit of car history here, but Mrs Kermit's granddad was involved in motorsport. My granddad was involved in motorsport. That's kind of where we got our love from the first Australian touring car championship, which was a one race event around Bathurst. Yep, her grandfather competed in a Fiat. Oh no shit, that's fun. Cool so he came sixth overall in a Fiat 1500 against Bob Jane of Bob Jane.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Bob Jane team arts Awesome. One of my friends dated Bob Jane team arts daughter for a while.
Speaker 1:Step one yeah right, I don't have any further to add to that story. Oh well, I was like you always watch Nets on the Runchi. Yeah, back to the Runchi, I don't actually know anything else.
Speaker 2:I just know that that happened. Sorry, he's granddaughter, he's granddaughter.
Speaker 1:The Maserati.
Speaker 2:Oh dude, oh shit, All right. So I last night went and saw Joji Very cool show. If anyone doesn't know Joji, when have you been? Where have you been? Never heard of him. Hipster's coming out no he's got that. He got he. If you were chronically on the internet from a younger age, you would know him as filthy Frank oh yeah.
Speaker 3:OK, yeah.
Speaker 2:And but he's pivoted completely and now he's a, he's a singer and he's very, very good, has real good sad boy vibe music and it was a rad show. I really enjoyed it and but I went with my wife, Christy, and she was saying that he didn't play two of the songs that she really wanted. They were like a one and two and they're just like, I guess little like not his popular songs. They're not the ones that got, like you know TikTok.
Speaker 5:They're the base yeah.
Speaker 2:And but very good songs, but just didn't play it. And the week previous to this week I saw Block Party and Interpol at City, my Music Bowl, and Block Party played two of their most popular songs, which is like Banquet and Helicopter, and they played them like like 30, 40 BPM faster than the actual song is, so it felt like they were rushing through it. They were just like just trying to get it out of the way.
Speaker 3:And I was.
Speaker 2:I was a little bit disappointed in that, you know, I was like I kind of want to. That's the only time I've ever seen them, probably the only time I will ever see them, you know yeah.
Speaker 5:And, like they said, the record player to 45 instead of 33.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly yeah, and they just played it sped up.
Speaker 5:It sounds kind of right yeah. I did that to a Linker Park album. Last week I knocked the 45.
Speaker 1:I'm like you, just didn't have enough time.
Speaker 3:Why is his voice so high pitched? I don't get it. No, it was just a.
Speaker 5:It's not that significant of a shift. It's like I feel so numb it's like playing at 1.25 speed. Yeah, just enough that it's like my own crack is like it's wearing off. What's going on at the time? They can't yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I was thinking about it and I was like you, what is? I wanted to ask you guys, what is the band or artist that you want to see that you haven't seen before? Ramstein, oh you know. I had another person say Ramstein the other day. Oh it's crazy. Ramstein's a lot more popular than I anticipated. I'm like I'm a decent sized fan of Ramstein. It's just interesting that other people hold them in like that era of regard.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I was a 2000s goth. Yeah, yeah, ramstein's just been at the top of the list. What was that tour that?
Speaker 2:Ramstein did with corn and Limp Bizkit. Oh fuck, was it called? Come remember what it was called. I remember it happened at the same time as the Up in Smoke tour, but Up in Smoke tour was obviously the rap one. Anyway, continue, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:I family values to a yes, oh my.
Speaker 2:God, it was.
Speaker 3:My sister had the DVD of it.
Speaker 2:Fuck yes.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was sick. I see I'd have to smoke to it.

Speaker 3:It was the AMA affliction. Yeah, ok.
Speaker 4:And yeah, it just wasn't.
Speaker 1:I got you boys, I don't know I listened to them for like six months to a year, being like hey, this is pretty cool, like way after they already existed. Yeah, so I roll, mrs.
Speaker 5:Kermit's entire wardrobe. It's Amity merch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean. Well, I don't want her to listen to this now, but like Andrew was soured by their performance.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did. I have it. I have it Particularly poorly. I haven't really listened to them, since yeah.
Speaker 4:I saw them with Architects and Ghost Inside. Yes, and that was a fucking stacked lineup and it was at the palace before it got torn down OK, cool, and it was fucking awesome. To be honest, although Ghost Inside and Architects were better than Amity.
Speaker 2:No, I'm not surprised. No one's better than Ghost Inside baby, but yeah basically a data.
Speaker 1:Remember I was like, hey, these guys are pretty cool, maybe I'll listen to them now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, jamie, who is your band or artist that you want to see?
Speaker 4:that you haven't seen, that I haven't seen Chris Stapleton, not because I'm staring at the pop vinyl Right, but because he's fucking awesome. Other reasons Explain to me who. That is Country music, but like I don't know more of like a bluesy kind of ballad-y vibe. Not your twangy, I got a truck.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and a John Deere tractor situation I got a truck I saw him at Denny one year.
Speaker 5:Oh, really, yeah, Damn Kermit, I did a whole lot of Denny Yoot masters when I was in my younger days.
Speaker 1:When you were mustering.
Speaker 2:Yoot, that was part of your car journey, did you ever?
Speaker 5:Me being a degenerate right Nick. Oh, that's fine Nice.
Speaker 1:That's what he meant.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've still got the Yoot, your Yoot period. Oh no, you do still have the Yoot. Yeah, I've seen that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, but yes, phenomenal performer from what. I've seen of Clips and by all reports, so I would very much like to see him live.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Bundyfest, Chief Bave Mine is.
Speaker 4:Bundyfest is gimpy. I went to the gimpy master in South Queensland near the Sunshine Coast and that's fucking Bundyfest. Like it is drives a bones in a Kuber as far as the eye can see and there's a lot of angry fucking rednecks that is Bundyfest.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, All I'm thinking is like, yeah, like it's an unmitigated UFC, Like open UFC.
Speaker 5:There's a reason they call Bundy fighting juice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah. And it's like well, I was, like I was in Bundy country because of Queensland under. Bergram, I fucking love it.
Speaker 5:Yeah, the only time I've been like physically assaulted, like out of the blue.
Speaker 2:Due to Bundy.
Speaker 5:Well, it was at Denny babe, we can only assume.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was due to Bundy.
Speaker 1:Bundy, bundy babe.
Speaker 5:Somebody wanted to fuck with my car. I told them to fuck off and they took a swing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yikes, my favorite band that I haven't seen. Now I haven't seen Blink, but I do have tickets, you do have tickets so. I'm taking them off the table.
Speaker 4:You haven't seen them on any of the other tours.
Speaker 2:Haven't seen them on tour. I also on that list had Coldplay, much to G's chagrin. Love Coldplay. But they have now announced a tour and I'm getting tickets. So that'll be next year. But my number one band that I want to see that I haven't seen live is Rage Against the Machine, and I want to see it before they stop playing music.
Speaker 4:That'd be great. Rage Against the Machine would be pretty rad I saw what is it?
Speaker 5:Profits of Rage, so it's like most of Rage Against the Machine with Flavor Flav.
Speaker 2:Oh, interesting. Yeah, Holy shit, I don't know this.
Speaker 5:So they did shout out ElectrofriD, how you doing? Man Turned it ElectrofriDs who came shooting, oh no shit.

Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, base hello, can you go death row? What a brother. No, once again, back is the incredible rhyme animal, public enemy number one Ah there we go. Sorry, it's not flavor flavor. It's public enemy and rage against the machine.
Speaker 3:That makes a bit of sense.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, I'm on board.
Speaker 5:Yeah, so they performed at download a couple of years ago, because I do a lot of festivals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, festivals, eh, it's the best way to see a lot of bands on a budget. That's it, yeah true, dude.
Speaker 2:We got a lot of Bundy fans in there. 30 seconds to Mars. Have you guys seen that cult thing?
Speaker 4:Yes, yeah, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2:That shit is wild. If anyone hasn't seen this, please Google this in your own time. Effectively, jared Leto. Jared Leto, yeah, he has a like thing that you can buy, like an experience that you buy, and he effectively dresses and looks like Jesus and runs like a cult for like a month on an island. It's fucking weird man. He like stands in front of them and then like they're all like kneeling down in front of him. It's super fucking weird.
Speaker 5:So he's the next Far Cry villain.
Speaker 4:See, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Imagine that That'd be great. It's more of been time He'd actually make a good Far Cry villain.
Speaker 4:If I don't mind 30 seconds to Mars on recordings, but I've heard very poor things about them live.
Speaker 2:Oh, I like 30 seconds to Mars. Yeah, I reckon their songs are good, yeah, but just apparently they're not great live.
Speaker 5:No, they weren't bad.
Speaker 4:They weren't bad, okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm getting distracted by your chat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, all I can remember about 30 seconds to Mars is when you were like you might like them. I'm like Jared Leto's. I'm like like that actor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah, andrew didn't know, andrew had looked into.
Speaker 1:I had no fucking idea what you were talking about, I was like, yeah, no, I remember those songs, I guess on the radio, but like I didn't know who they were, and I was like it's Jared Leto and he's like no, it's not I assure you, it is I was like no.
Speaker 4:I'm fucking the liar.
Speaker 3:Like it was pretty funny.
Speaker 1:There's a whole car ride where Liam's mind exploded and he's like what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, amazing, it was good. All right, now a follow up question what is your? What is the most memorable live show experience you've been to? I can go first of you guys one time. Yeah, please, yep, okay. My most memorable moment was when I went to Big Day Out. I think it was the first Big Day Out. So I was quite young. Rec-election wise, I would have been year seven, year eight, maybe Dang Quite young. I went with my sister, who promptly left me to hang out with her friends, which I was fine with.
Speaker 5:First one to do festivals.
Speaker 2:I just needed her to get me in with the permission from my parents. So once we got in there we separated and I saw Alien Head Farm. That was rad. I saw a lot of bands that were really cool. But my most memorable moment of that show was when I was waiting for another band and before them the prodigy played and I was like and I like I love the prodigy as well, so I was like pretty far up the front, but as a smaller youngster I was almost crushed, crushed to death.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was. I effectively just had to like plant my hands on the shoulders of the men around me and like lift myself up so that I could like get over the crowd and out. He just dolphin out. Yeah, yeah, that also. I lost my shoe, which someone threw forward. God bless whoever did that. And now every time I go to a show and I'm in the pit, I wear high top cons.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, high top, high top, yes, yes, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 4:Where those gaming saw Baby Metal about two months ago. I read Cox last Thursday and Thursday going to see Manuskin.
Speaker 5:Baby Metal were good. They have the same music tastes as.
Speaker 2:I do, which is everything Dude I've seen like clips of Baby Metal and I need. They look like they put on a fucking show.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I need to see them live. Yeah, I saw them at. It was a download or it was a good things.
Speaker 2:Wasn't it One of the two? Well, didn't they play at NotFest? I might be wrong. No, they didn't play.
Speaker 5:NotFest. Okay good things.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:So it was the first good things, I think.
Speaker 2:Okay. And they were like right on at the start.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I saw them as they started.
Speaker 2:I'd only recently discovered them and I wasn't aware of them before then.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but yeah, then I saw them at this show that Werther was at.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Fuck yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, doing Werther been a while and all right. Anyone else got a memorable moment for me from a live show that they've been to? Yeah, I do. Yep, go on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, First live show that I ever went to Linkin Park, which was awesome. It was the one that Chester jumped slash, fell off the stage and broke his arm on.
Speaker 2:A prolific right, A memory. It was pretty sick For all alternative Australians yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was good fun, yeah, and he kept going for a bit like a fucking trooper, and then they took a brief break where he sought medical attention, yeah. And then, I don't know, maybe 15, 20 minutes later they're like he's gonna keep going.
Speaker 2:And we're like whew.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was mad. I love that. Yeah, it was sick.
Speaker 5:Similar to your story, like most memorable was a big day out and it was slipknot system of a down maybe tool. It was, tool was either that year or the year after, but so it was 2003 or 2005. And 38 degree day in the slipknot pit like they just turned the hoses on the crowd. Yeah, you can see it, it was just one of those shows that you see them feature on these videos Big day out's were always when it was way too hot tonight.
Speaker 5:Yeah, hot as fuck day out. Yeah, it really was. Like, as I said, I was a 2000s golf kid, so my makeup was running. I had my high to the hot. Yes.
Speaker 2:Yes.

Speaker 5:Oh, fuck, yeah, laura.
Speaker 2:Laura said yeah, fuck, yeah, same gig, fuck it hey.
Speaker 1:No funny.
Speaker 2:All right, then let's move on to the last page here, cause we have a run.
Speaker 1:With the last page.
Speaker 2:All right. What are we doing for time, Jamie? How long are we going on for?
Speaker 4:About 45.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got some show. Until let's do it, I'm going to drag my volume down. There we go, get ready, all right. So what I'm going to do now is I just want to share with you guys some things that I've been sent, or like some shit that I found on TikTok, cause I think it's funny. So the first one is so I've recently come across this streamer called Keso. He's becoming like really, really popular, mainly because he's kind of well fat and he's and his chat make fun of him and he's like he's got a good, like you know, he's got a good personality about it, like he's he's good night, he thinks it's funny. So I want to tell you some of the names that have been calling him so and what happens is he'll be like playing on PlayStation and he'll be streaming and like he must have leaked like his gamer name or whatever, and and so people you can see on his screen people are messaging him during the game he's playing and it's just names.
Speaker 2:They're calling him so and they're always. They're just like fucking dumb names. But all right, I'm going to. I'm going to read a few of them now, cause I think they're funny. Two packs of lunch. So, oh, dramond, no greens. Biggie, never small. Jordan, I can't fit in the pool. That's a basketball joke. Very funny, I might add. Scrooge McDouble, quarter Pounder, like some of them aren't even like you. Yeah.
Speaker 4:All right yeah.
Speaker 3:All right yeah.
Speaker 2:Boat face Taylor Swift. Lee grabbed a bag of chips. Wow, Michael Snaksson, Kyrie serving Woof John. Never seen a larger man than you.

Speaker 5:Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2:He's just playing and it just comes up. It's just like pops up as a message on the top right, Is it? Yeah Little notification. So funny man. Oh, holy shit. The other thing I've started getting in my algo is when people have had awkward interactions with service staff or people who are service staff who have done something really awkward. Like, the social interaction is super fucking weird and I want to read a couple of them because I think they're funny. But, like, if you guys have something to contribute to this, like you know, and something to happen to you and you remember it, please tell me.
Speaker 5:So this is kind of like calling your teacher a mum level stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like that.
Speaker 5:Yeah, right.
Speaker 2:One time the ice cream on our cake fell on the waiter and the waiter apologized and we told him it was fine and he bowed and said thank you for your mercy.
Speaker 4:What Dude.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I worked as a cashier and when I was ringing up a box of ultra absorbent tampons, the customer turned to her mom and said the regular ones fall out. Wow, okay.
Speaker 3:She wants me to wear them.
Speaker 2:Dude. You seen that meme and it's like the dudes in front of all the tampons and the pads and he's calling his partner and he's like what size pussy do you wear, dude? Okay, here's another one. I was at the restaurant and the waiter asked how the food was. I held my hand up to let him know that I was chewing, but he gave me a high five. And that was me. And my friend went to the Apple store and she told the guy her phone was broken and he said whomp, whomp, dude. I actually went to the Apple store with G because his phone wasn't charging. Is that what they said? No, he literally just dug out a fucking pile from his charger Surprise Charging point yeah.
Speaker 5:Every now and then you just got to like dig the tooth pick in blue font and the.
Speaker 2:US court said whomp, whomp, that is wild.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. What was the context?
Speaker 5:Like there is a chick on TikTok who reads out court transcripts. Oh man, he's fucking hilarious. Yeah, we really are them.
Speaker 2:I was. I got selected for jury duty and I didn't end up on the jury. But I remember sitting down and they tell you about like the crime. And they have the guy there and me and Matt were laughing about this because we did exactly the same thing. Matt Combs from chat. But like I looked at the dude and I was like they, matt Combs the Matt Combs, two T's, two M's.
Speaker 2:Dude. I looked at this dude for one second and I was just like guilty. That case could have ran from six months and my immediate notion would not have changed.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that whole book cover thing, yeah dude.
Speaker 2:It was like I don't know, like with what they told me about. I don't want to say it because it's like really gross. But they like told, they say what it is and they say what the charges are. And then you look at him and I was just like guilty, that's fair.
Speaker 5:Story for another podcast, If I if I this is good, go ahead.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no Story for this podcast, yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 5:During my largely misspent youth and I ended up in court for a traffic offense that's on brand Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, like checks out.
Speaker 5:Yeah, surprise, only reason I have ever been in trouble with the law is because of a heavy right foot.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 5:The funniest interactions of my life have happened in a court room, with people trying to get their license back. Yeah, if you go, if you have just a traffic day off go and figure out what day traffic court is on and go sit in there.
Speaker 5:Cause we're sitting there and it goes like all right, mr Smith, please step. It's time to hear your case. All right, mr Smith, you're here for a drink driving and you've. You've been suspended for 12 months. You're here to get your license back. Have you, like, been abiding by the? You know the rules implemented to you. Yes, I have your honor. Excellent. Like that's really great to hear You've cut back on your drinking. Yes, I have your honor. Great, this is all going wonderfully. Does the prosecution have anything to say? Oh shit, yes, we do your honor.
Speaker 5:Mr Smith, on the 19th of March, were you pulled over in Arden Street, north Melbourne? Yes, at the time was your license suspended? Yes, oh, at this time. Were you subjected to a preliminary breath test? Yes, do you recall what you blew on that breath test? I don't. I'm sorry. Could the court show that the recorded breath test was 0.103?
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 5:Yeah. And you just see these people just going fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck yeah.
Speaker 1:It is a day of that yeah.
Speaker 5:Amazing.
Speaker 1:Amazing.
Speaker 5:Just fantastic. Like I had to leave the courtroom at one point because I was afraid I was going to wet myself.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, or get kicked out. Yeah.
Speaker 5:Because I'm silently shaking with laughter. Yeah, I'm like. I'm meant to be real somber here I'm trying to get my license back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:Not for never drank, drove. Yeah, Nice, I had a lot of my offenses. I had a lot at one point in my life because I had a really good exhaust system and it sounded really really good with my foot buried to the floor.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I did that a lot.
Speaker 5:Yeah, tiny little side note If you look behind me when I'm in my office, streaming behind me, there's a framed photo of the green car of me, barefoot, without shoes, on speaking to the police officer that's pulled me over. Ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha. Next to the framed fine of me having lost my license yeah, yeah, nice, so just to happen that Great gift from the boys Just a reminder
Speaker 2:of where you came from.
Speaker 5:Yeah, somebody happened to be on the other side of the road and was just like chk.
Speaker 2:Ha, ha, ha, ha, that's good, we're framing this. I would do that. That's so good, I like that. Have you guys ever gotten out of a fine before?
Speaker 5:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, how'd you do it? Or what was the scenario?
Speaker 5:I feel like I'm hijacking. No, no, this is good.
Speaker 2:I got something after this Dude. I'm telling you Chad wants to hear someone run me for a second.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, you're doing everyone a favour.
Speaker 5:It was purely administrative error where the cop just put down the wrong time that I was intercepted and I had phone records showing that I was two hours from the point where they said they pulled me over at the time they said they pulled me over.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's me like I was somewhere else entirely. Even though that was in fact me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it yeah.
Speaker 5:It was like yeah, cool. It was just like sorry, but the information's wrong. Yeah Like, here's my phone record. This is the cell tower that I was being picked up at because I was in Hoffam Mm. Well, one of them.
Speaker 3:I was snowboarding.
Speaker 5:Yep, and they picked me up on the way back, mm, but put the. They stuffed up the time. They put it in 12 hour time instead of 24 or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah yeah, and they converted it wrong.
Speaker 5:Yep, so I was like no at the time. You said that I was pulled over on the way home. Yeah, I was at the top of Mount Hoffam calling my mate to figure out where the hell they were.
Speaker 4:Yep, no shit.
Speaker 2:No, I was like yeah.
Speaker 4:I got done underage driving.
Speaker 3:I don't know so we're at the time.
Speaker 4:Technically, it was my first car. I should say not the sleeper, but I didn't really. I didn't know I'm driving this car licensed.
Speaker 1:No, did you write it off before?
Speaker 4:No, no, no, no, no, no, we just we just ended up salad because I just didn't like it. But yeah, it was like an old, old, old, old BMW.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I know right, Just with my track record.
Speaker 4:But it got gifted to me by my grandpa at the time and we had it down at the caravan park.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:My mum went home and I was still at the caravan park with a few friends. Yep, I was the youngest mother, mate's 18, but they had been drinking. So I did the responsible thing and I drove as a 16 year old. So we went to drive down to the Dramanapia and the cops pulled us over. No, no, sorry, I parked when we saw a cop car. I couldn't get my window up because this car was so shitty that the wind electrics had busted.
Speaker 4:So I was like desperately trying to get the window up so I could ditch the car, yep, and then, as that happened, the cops pulled up and he's like hello and I was like oh boy, Anyway, what? Happened was he was like, went back to his car to go get the shit to write me up for underage driving. And then on the radio an emergency came up and he's like get an adult to come pick up the car and just like, don't do that again. And just liked it.
Speaker 4:And I was like I was literally just like to my mate what the fuck just happened.
Speaker 1:So we then got back in the car and I drove it back to the girl at the park. Which way did the cop go? Let's go the other way.
Speaker 4:And then a second one, which you'll appreciate, because you always laugh at the fact that I have my GPS, even if I'm going a minute down the road.
Speaker 5:But it actually helped me in this case.
Speaker 4:I was driving somewhere I can't remember now and I'd never been to that area before. Admittedly, I had my GPS on and it was like a change of speed from like 80 to 60. I went 80 through there. Cop cars like tailed me for a little bit, then pulled me over and they're like do you realize what you're doing back there? I'm like I legitimately have zero idea.
Speaker 4:No idea and they're like no, it's a 60 zone and I was like, oh well, I don't even know this area, I've got my GPS going. She's like, oh okay, that look yeah we'll let you off Nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nice Good On my way, yeah nice, yeah lovely.
Speaker 2:Similar to Foxy. I actually got pulled over for using my firmware driving, but I definitely was using it.
Speaker 2:So this was at a point before every car had a fucking screen in it, yeah, but at a point where smartphones were in. So it was like that sort of like segue between the two things existing and I was legitimately had the phone up to my ear and I was sitting like this and in Australia, you on the right hand side of the car and the police pulled up on my right hand side and I was on the phone.
Speaker 5:pretend to lean on, no, I didn't so.
Speaker 2:I was talking, I turn and look at them. Both of them turn and look at me.
Speaker 2:And then I was just like on the phone and I was like, look, I'm going to end this conversation because I was at the lights and I was like cops are looking at me, so I'm just going to hang up now and I'll see you later. So I hang up the phone like all in, like really casual, like normal timing, put the phone down, and then they wait for me to pull away and they pull me over and the guy comes up to my window and he's like so you're on the phone. And I was like, yeah, I was. And he's like why didn't you put the phone down? And I was like and I was like, well, I know you're not an idiot, you would have been able to see if I was like trying to hide that I had my phone. And he was like yeah, okay, don't do it again. And I think I think, being honest with him, absolutely he let me off, he passed the dickhead test.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that's what he was doing.
Speaker 5:He passed the dickhead test once and it let me keep my car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, I was not the Toronto, I had another 77 Holden Yep, like the mini Toronto.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so I was driving this Gemini way too fucking quick.
Speaker 5:Yeah, there was a woman ran a red, nearly ran into it. I was an idiot. Yeah, put my foot into it. I'm just like, oh, you fucking moron. Yeah, I'm like I'm just going to walk down the road, come around the corner.
Speaker 3:I'm like there's normally a speed yeah.
Speaker 5:As I'm looking down the barrel of the radar.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Put the put the indicator on. Pulled over before they'd turned their lights on. Yeah, they're like, why'd you pull over? I'm like because you saw me. I'm not a fucking idiot, yeah yeah, yeah, I know, you saw me yeah. You know, you saw me.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Let's not fucking around the bush yeah.
Speaker 3:And they're like that's remarkably honest yeah.
Speaker 5:Let's just yeah. And they legitimately knocked like 8k or something off the speed that I was doing. Yeah, which took it from hoon driving.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to just like regular yeah.
Speaker 3:Sweet, yeah, nice, that's good.
Speaker 1:I haven't really I don't know. I think I think my finds might. I haven't avoided one, but like maybe every three to five years I'll get like a speeding fine for like like nothing over but like I don't know. Anyway, like just being polite in general yes, generally lessens the effect.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Like, like I've had finds that were like knocked back a little bit and I'm like oh thanks. Like I appreciate that.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 1:I got pulled over once. Oh, cause my car's clearly not road worthy. But um and like, yeah, but it's cause I had, um, I had like a big spare tire on the back and they were like oh, it's like the, like the tires can't come out wider than the car and like you're blocking, like the angle of that tire on the back stops at cameras from seeing the number plate and I was like oh, oh, okay, I see your issues with this.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Fair enough, I wasn't aware, but fair enough, and I was just really polite about it. And he's like oh, you want me to show you? I'm like, yeah, please do, like, let me have the car. He's like that. I'm like, all right, thanks. And then they canaryed me, didn't put the sticker on and didn't find me anything. They would just like just go get a road worthy.
Speaker 5:And I was like yeah, just go Cheers boss. Thank you, yeah, yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 1:I remember when you first get your car.
Speaker 2:Getting a canary is like the prime, like thing you're worried about because none of us could afford.
Speaker 5:There's no way you can fix it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And getting a canary is just like, oh yeah.
Speaker 5:And if you pull it?
Speaker 2:off. That's a bit Canary is like. For US people, it's when, like you, have a some sort of unroad worthy item on your car that you need to get fixed. It's always a specific.
Speaker 4:So they slap a yellow sticker.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 4:And that's where it got the canary.
Speaker 5:The canary yellow defective vehicle in big. Yes, that's the one.
Speaker 1:But yeah, he gave me two weeks, didn't put a sticker on. He's like just get that road worthy and head down to Vic Rhodes. I was like, yes, sir, I went to my mechanic friend. I was like, bro, help, we got to fix a lot of shit in two weeks.
Speaker 2:I feel like cops are like every workplace you really just like it's luck of the drawers to 100% real pieces of shit.
Speaker 1:But if you're polite, it's going to be better. Yeah.
Speaker 3:There's some nice ones who?
Speaker 1:appreciate you being polite yeah.
Speaker 5:And look, if you start out with a shit attitude, it's not going to improve your interaction yeah, no, no.
Speaker 3:My upbringing is bizarro world, liam. Yeah, the opposite. Yeah, the opposite. I had two cops as parents growing up yeah, so it is legitimately yeah.
Speaker 2:Bizarro Liam, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:So there were so many times that they'd come home and just go this fuckhead, yeah, like failed the attitude test yeah.
Speaker 1:That's totally fair.
Speaker 4:That would totally be a thing as well, 100% Like you said any workplace, right, if someone acts like a dickhead to you immediately at any workplace you're like well. I'm not helping you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, 100%.
Speaker 5:This is going to go poorly, all right, we were talking about.
Speaker 1:Do you have any of those at the back? No, I'm really sorry, we don't. No, you didn't go and look. All right, you didn't go and look.
Speaker 2:Yeah, come back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're still not out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, as I told you, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, fucking head.
Speaker 2:What do? You got to finish it up with Finish up. Okay, all right, I've got two videos I want to show you. One is one that I found, and they're just AI videos. So I got sent a video of Homer singing break stuff, because we were talking about limp biscuit a lot last time yeah. So I've got an AI of Homer singing break stuff. Let me get that on, yeah.
Speaker 4:It is.
Speaker 2:It always is what.
Speaker 4:It's just one of those days.
Speaker 5:Seeing them in two Classic.
