Here's a question for you.

SPEAKER_04

They could rip the skin off a fucking camel.

SPEAKER_02

Out of all the tradies, or all the trades, what do you reckon is their method of masturbation? So when you think about electrician, right? Another you would think another guy would do it for them.

SPEAKER_01

That's not masturbation there. That's a hand job.

SPEAKER_02

That's still class as masturbation?

SPEAKER_01

No. Masturbation is when you do it yourself. Mm-hmm. To yourself.

SPEAKER_02

Ah, okay. Well then while versed in this. They're yeah, I can tell. So then they would they would what would they do? They would just think of our other men while they're doing it. Or are they just sandpapering it? No, no, no.

SPEAKER_04

No, I think more they'll do like pokey bum wanks.

SPEAKER_01

Pokey bum wanks. I was thinking more just like wiping everything up with just$100 bills because they're fucking they get paid way too much money.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, fair.

SPEAKER_01

That stereotype is so folded.

SPEAKER_02

So then so then chippy? Chippy. Just sawdust.

SPEAKER_04

Circle hole in a piece of wood. Circsaw.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

What the fuck? Hell whole saw a fucking two by four.

SPEAKER_02

Nah, they think about that$300 hat. Bro's making a um a glory hole for yourself.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, wholesale would work for that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Alright, we'll maybe we'll come back to the chippy mechanic. Spanner. 10 mil spanner, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Just really 10 mil spanner, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Just just really angrily, is that what you said?

SPEAKER_01

That was me today.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_02

Rage beaten. Mechanics, rage beat their shit.

SPEAKER_05

Rage beat my meme.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

10 mil spanner.

SPEAKER_02

No, Pokebum Wanks. Oh, yeah. That's what you said. Um, and then we haven't decided on chippy yet. And then uh yeah, mechanics is just you're using the 10 mil spanner, which is fair. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_04

You know what floor layer is gonna do? Carpet burn.

SPEAKER_02

Just rub my shit on some carpet. Yeah, that's fair. I mean, carpet's soft, it's nice.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so carpet burn kicks in.

SPEAKER_02

What about roofers? Let's maybe dive on the roofers a little bit.

SPEAKER_01

Hmm. Shears, something to do with their shears. They used to cut the sheets. Okay, but are they bigger than the other? They're gonna use a real man glory.

SPEAKER_05

They're gonna make a real man's glory hole.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, imagine that all the fucking sp like they've cut out a hole in the roof sheet and it's all they wouldn't even cut it by, they'd just use a punch.

SPEAKER_02

Not cut straight. Bang a hole for it. Uh you roofers are f alright. Feels a little bit like um deja vu. Um, but yeah, mate, I so one of the reasons why I wanted to get you on is because uh a few months ago you approached us in the gym. Well, you approached me and Brody. Yeah. Um, and at this time I didn't even know who you were, but you've seen you said you saw our videos.

SPEAKER_01

I'd seen, yeah, I'd seen a couple of you. I actually saw talking about this today, you post in the local notice board and you're looking for an editor. That's how I came across. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. And then I followed you because I was like, oh, this good does content, that's cool. Like something a bit different. This town has some cool things to offer. And then followed you, and yeah. Here we are.

SPEAKER_02

Which is cool because um, yeah, you obviously saw like my thing on uh noticeboard, and then you saw that we did like skits or tradey skits and stuff, and then uh when we were at the gym, you you said you saw us there a few times but didn't approach. I guess you were maybe scared or intimidated because me and Brody are so big, maybe.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely not scared of you, Cast.

SPEAKER_02

And seeing that you're below average in the height scale. Uh I'm below average.

SPEAKER_01

Who's talking? If I'm below average, you're slightly smaller than below average, then.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, so you're saying that I'm shorter than you? Right.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think that's the That's why you're sitting on a stool that makes you a little bit taller than everyone else, right now.

SPEAKER_02

I'm sitting on a stool because we're poor.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, this studio is top notch.

SPEAKER_02

We need hey, if anyone's got a spare studio dad, please let us know. Um yeah, no, it was cool the fact that you came over because you came over and uh that's when me and Brody were doing our our like gym content stuff. Um and you came over and you asked us what what was the camera and then you told us a bit about what you do uh and like the type of content that you were producing at the time.

SPEAKER_01

Which is what to thus that nothing interesting at all, just some just me just doing some work, some carpentry work and um nothing at all. Yeah, what wasn't that interesting to be honest. So I don't know, I've learned lots from the city.

SPEAKER_02

Every bit of content is interesting, mate.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, I reckon it would be way better with meta glasses. I've been loving some of your videos with the meta glasses, how to lay carpet, shout out.

SPEAKER_02

I haven't put much up.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I know. I'm a bit gutted about that. Yeah. Um I was hoping you could give a whole tutorial so I can go home and do it myself.

SPEAKER_02

I can do that, mate. Maybe I can give you my meta glasses. You can video call me via MetaGlasses.

SPEAKER_01

Can we all get meta glasses and call? Yeah. Imagine that. Fuck, imagine all the things you could do. I know where all our brains are going right now. I know exactly all we're going. Where's yours going? Rooting.

SPEAKER_02

I was going to all of us circle jokers.

SPEAKER_04

What that's not we're all about. Don't lie. Hey, don't lie. I was thinking of like, imagine like getting like the both POVs of like people walking past you.

SPEAKER_01

That's the only thing I could think of. You could do so many cool things. Yeah, you can. It's pretty on tap so far, isn't it? Everyone just does their day-to-day job. What's the worst thing you do with it?

SPEAKER_02

Kill someone.

SPEAKER_04

What if you accidentally stream it to the TV and you're like smashing something?

SPEAKER_02

Have you seen the the memes when you're like Tony Stark? And it's just like when you're clapping cheeks and all you uh all of a sudden you start seeing heart heart reacts. It's when people like your live stream.

SPEAKER_01

I've not seen that.

SPEAKER_02

Or the one where it's um yeah, can you can you find it on Insta? I uh yeah, yeah, I'll um or the one where it's like when your dad's giving you dad's giving you like uh gangster call out uh uh techniques.

SPEAKER_01

You're so deep into the meme world.

SPEAKER_02

I've yeah, so um uh what is it like first of all, what is it that you do um for content and also what are you working on?

SPEAKER_01

Uh content. I've just been helping you guys out, really. I'm just a lackey, a bit of a labourer for you guys, and learning how you guys have been how you guys make some skits and trying to bring a little bit to the table, a little bit of um a couple of little funny ideas and stuff.

SPEAKER_04

And that's all it is. It's just got a caption. Yeah, right. Sorry, right, you can keep talking about it.

SPEAKER_01

Um and yeah, no, uh just a carpenter by day.

SPEAKER_04

And um by night, I take it.

SPEAKER_01

Robin. You're Robin.

SPEAKER_04

You can be a side.

SPEAKER_01

You're Robin. One out. Um yeah, that that's that I don't know. I don't know. I can really tell you that. I'm so fucking tired. I can't even remember what the question was. What uh who am I? What am I?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, who are you?

SPEAKER_01

Fuck the thing.

SPEAKER_00

Who the fuck are you?

SPEAKER_01

How did you end up here? Let's just go with the the basics. Where are you from?

SPEAKER_04

Where did you come from?

SPEAKER_01

I am from uh about an hour south of Melbourne in the Mornington Peninsula. And it's Palmy Sorry, mate, Palmer. Um, yeah, which is in Victoria. And yeah, pretty much me and my missus, since we've been together, we've been together about seven or eight years now. From when we first got together, we both always said it was a goal just to go and live somewhere else and try out somewhere else and um I don't know, get out of our comfort zones a bit, I guess. And so yeah, we pretty much packed everything up into a van and drove across the country and moved to Geraldton, which um yeah, it's been fucking awesome.

SPEAKER_04

I'm just gonna ask this question. Yeah. Do you cop a lot of heat about having a misso for seven, eight years and her not being a wife? I want to see how much heat. How do you go about this? How pushy is she? Are you okay? Do one of these if you need help.

SPEAKER_01

This is a signal for abuse. Nah. Um I don't know. We're kind of on slight like similar wavelengths in a sense that you're poor? I'm not even poor, but I'd rather invest my money into other other things like that. So you're poor. Yeah, I guess at the moment. I don't know. I've I've I've always just thought that weddings are a fucking waste of money. It's so much money that you pour in for a day and it's kind of just a party. We we've had friends that have um had weddings and they've just done really low-key ones and they've been awesome though. Um but then we've got other friends that have spent fucking you know like 35 grand on it one day. And there's so much stress building up to it. And um yeah, I don't know. I've I've just I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

So you've never thought of a ring?

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, it's definitely crossed my mind. She and she sends me probably like weekly photos of rings. Um but she said she doesn't care about getting married, she just wants a fat ring on her finger.

SPEAKER_02

So I can just imagine you two driving back and you guys are listening to this episode. She's like, Where's my fat ring, mate?

SPEAKER_01

No, I don't know. I we've we've we've even both said that like we would prefer to go on a big holiday or something.

SPEAKER_04

Or how do you do it then, Staff? Do you get a fat ring? A big wedding?

SPEAKER_02

Uh you're poor. You're asking me how I did my wedding?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, my shit costs as well. I want a numerical figure.

SPEAKER_02

I'm pretty sure. Well, I mean, it was a business expense. Turn this out.

SPEAKER_05

Ben's about to get ordered.

SPEAKER_02

Um, this that I have it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Uh no, I think our wedding cost 25 grand.

SPEAKER_06

Damn, fuck it.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe. But uh see, in saying that, a lot of the cost was down because of us doing it at McCadr's dad's house.

SPEAKER_01

So um Imagine having a free venue and it's still 25 grand. Yeah. It's mind-boggling. That's what I can't compare.

SPEAKER_02

Maybe 20. Oh, no, maybe not 25, maybe like 15.

SPEAKER_01

By the way. This was like to take in to consider.

SPEAKER_02

Nine years.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like inflation and all that kind of shit.

SPEAKER_02

So nine years ago I got married.

SPEAKER_01

So if nine years ago you got married for like maybe 25 grand, like that's probably equates to what fucking 30.

SPEAKER_02

I'd say, no, I wouldn't say fifty, I won't say twenty-five, I'll say fifteen, because I think it was closer to fifteen. Yeah, okay. I think. I don't know why I said twenty-five.

SPEAKER_04

I would say about thirty. Five now. We'll just go with yeah, today's world.

SPEAKER_02

Um and then yeah, like obviously the venue was um supplied by Michaela's dad, and then because he's got all of his mates with all like the souped up like muscle cars and all that type of stuff. We had those. Um but yeah, it was but yeah, we didn't also pay for ours because Michaela's dad paid for it as like a wedding gift.

SPEAKER_01

All right. That's nice. I'll be hitting up Chloe's dad. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Sponsor mate, yeah. If you have to help build a house, you know, potentially in the future. True, I might be building.

SPEAKER_02

But even now, like we're um we're planning our vow renewal for next year.

SPEAKER_01

She told me about that.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

What does that mean? Yeah, what they write a new script. It's like a remarry script, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

New script. Yeah. So it's like the same thing again? Nah, so we're doing vows. So we're writing down our vows.

SPEAKER_01

Is that do you have a whole nother wedding then?

SPEAKER_02

No, so it is kind of, but not that not so uh performative, I guess. Like you have to have like a celebrant and you have to no no, not not for the vow renewal for the wedding. So you need all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Um and so does that mean someone pretends to be no, so you you don't Can I be the guy that stands there?

SPEAKER_02

Can I walk?

SPEAKER_05

We're gathered here today.

SPEAKER_02

That would be hilarious. And yes, you can.

SPEAKER_01

What's the thing that they say before you get married? Does anyone oppose this or something, Barbara? Does that actually happen or is that just movies?

SPEAKER_02

Uh what like anyone uh likes uh essentially like stand up and speak before the motherfuckers get married? I'm gonna be the one.

SPEAKER_04

It does get I would not invite either one of you.

SPEAKER_02

It does it does get said.

unknown

Why?

SPEAKER_02

What the fuck is that? I have no idea. I guess. Oh yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

And what happens if someone stands up?

SPEAKER_02

The groom's like, sit your fucking ass down. Shut your ass up. Yeah, I don't know. Uh but yeah, we're we're doing our vow renewal um uh next year, and Michaela because Michaela hates the way she looked, I hated the way I looked uh back then. Um and we also want all of our kids to be there because when we did it back then, it was only Macy. Yeah, not all three. So um, and then we're gonna we're gonna write our own vows this time, not have the celebrant um because you can see you can either write down your own vows and you say them, yeah, or you can have the celebrant put the mic and go repeat after me, and then it it's just like a standard vow.

SPEAKER_01

I always thought it was the standard. Yeah. I thought you I thought everyone everyone was like their own standard.

SPEAKER_02

No, so I was I was going to, but because I had mad social anxiety back then, it was like Totally. I was so scared of stuttering too.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. You think you'll do it this time?

SPEAKER_02

100%. I'm so confident now.

SPEAKER_01

So how much like just make sure you invite friends, family, or is it just a personal thing? No, essentially just the podcast. It's gonna show up.

SPEAKER_02

Essentially, we're we're gonna invite like Michaela showed me the list and it was like 150 people. I'm like, we don't need that many for a vow renewal. What the fuck even is that? And she goes, Oh, there's like a lot of question marks. Like, I don't know if we should like invite them or not.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm and I was like, There's a lot of question marks if I want to renew up.

SPEAKER_02

And it was like it was more along the lines of like, I don't know if we should invite these people, like they were there last time.

SPEAKER_01

Who are they? Drop some names. Who's who?

SPEAKER_02

I actually can't remember who she had on there, but I essentially went through them and I'm like, don't need those, don't need those people, don't need those people, because it was like when when we did it last year.

SPEAKER_04

So if you're not invited, he said, fuck you.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, fuck you, pussy.

SPEAKER_04

Can I ask something though? With vow renewals, because when you do your vows at your wedding day, isn't that already saying I will love you till the day I die? So why are you personaliser doing it again?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so it'll be a it'll be a personalised vow. For the time that you've got to Yeah, because we've been we've been married for 10 years next year.

SPEAKER_04

Because I was reading this and I was like, isn't this the same thing?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so then we're just essentially going, I still love you bitch. I still love you bitch. We're good.

SPEAKER_04

Have you seen that video about Gar with the guitar, no shame? It's like broom. Love you, bitch.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's um, so yeah, we're we're doing a vow renewal anyway. That was a bit of a on a chant a tangent. But yeah, I'm excited, it'll be good because a lot more people that we've met recently are gonna be able to come, and a lot of people that we had up there with us won't be there.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So do you have to have a bridal and like a groom party and shit like that?

SPEAKER_02

So we're gonna have to I think my kids are gonna be on on my side, so it's just gonna be me and the girls, and then I think Michaela will be alone because she's a loner, I guess. Or maybe she'll just have pick a few people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my children stand up with you. Yeah. So you're gonna have two weddings down, and I'm gonna have zero weddings down. Yep. I've also I'm also three kids down.

SPEAKER_04

You hear that, Chloe? Still got a year at least.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I I've I'd better be the best man at your wedding.

SPEAKER_04

Can I be celebrant again?

SPEAKER_05

I would love to be the guy that just stands there. We're gathered here today.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I I just keep thinking of Shrek that's saying that it like red like a something it's like something, something, or forever hold your peace, or some shit like that, uh, when they say it when that when someone stands up. Forever hold your peace. Is it that one? Yeah, I think it's that uh or what they say.

SPEAKER_01

I actually I was just because I was just thinking, I've never seen that at a wedding, or maybe I was not fucking paying attention to it, but I always see it on movies, and then like someone comes in, like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, anyway, that was a bit of a tangent that we went on. Very random. Um, yeah, so you have a brand. You ha you have your own personal brand. Um tell us about that. What is it?

SPEAKER_01

Uh it's just a workwear brand that I I haven't released anything yet, but a lot of stuff in the works. And pretty much uh I was actually listening to a podcast you guys did recently, and you were talking about how you got into jobs, like how you started your trades and how you started your jobs. Um and you some of you were talking like I can't remember who it was, one of you said it might have been you, you kind of just fell into flooring. Was it? Yeah, like just randomly, I don't remember. Hearing that going, I could never do that, like just fall into something. Like Carpentry, I looked for a job for like 12 months, waited until I found the right person, you know, did my apprenticeship, still doing it. Um, and it was so specific to what I wanted to do.

SPEAKER_02

I think the context behind it was like, did you know anyone that was a chippy?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I did have um like I had my my grandpa was a builder, my uncle was a builder. Um I did have yeah, a few people that were carpenters um in my family and builders. Um but yeah, I just love like enjoyed timber and always wanted to build my own house and like you know, do renovations or build my mum's house. You know, all that kind of stuff. I just always thought it was so cool to be able to do, like be able to build a house.

SPEAKER_04

Um and realizing now, did you realise how easy it is to build a house? Like you just couple blocks of water.

SPEAKER_01

Pretty sure you asked me to do a cache for you a few weeks ago because you didn't know how to frame wall back. You need staff? Uh you as well, yeah in the shed.

SPEAKER_04

What I said I'm gonna build one if you want to come around. Oh that's code for I don't know how to do it, can you?

SPEAKER_02

He's going to rage bait you, just be careful because he won't back down.

SPEAKER_04

Is this about your little discussion the other night? We were talking about it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, I'm I'm just warning you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's pretty easy. That's why I have to do a four-year apprenticeship in how to learn how to do it. And I'm still doing it every day. No. No, actually, I actually got signed off after three years, like you. Hey, my boy! Um, so no, I think.

SPEAKER_02

So we all got signed off early and you haven't finished? I'm not even close to finishing.

SPEAKER_01

No, I I yeah, and I I I was just listening to you guys talking about yeah, falling into jobs, and I was like, that's so random, I would never fall into something. And then I thought about my brand exert that I've like started doing. I kind of fell into that because every day I was just wearing uh I don't know, it sounds a bit stupid, but I was just wearing shorts and they were uncomfortable, didn't like them.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um and then I just went down this tangent of I used to always be obsessed with footy shorts when I was younger. I used to always want to wear them. Um and I remember I have this really specific core memory of rocking up to one of my friend's houses, and we're going out to hang out with some of his friends and they were older, like cool guys. And I was wearing footy shorts and just like a normal t-shirt, but I was wearing footy shorts. And he was like, bro, you're like, you can't we're going to hang out with like the cool guys, you can't be wearing like shorts.

SPEAKER_00

You can't be wearing footy shorts, man.

SPEAKER_01

That's bogan, that looks shit. So I had to go home and change and come back.

SPEAKER_02

There's nothing wrong with rocking up in footy shorts. No, I know.

SPEAKER_01

They're too short.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they were pretty short. Our footy shorts are what, like four inches, five inches, I think?

SPEAKER_04

No, no, they're like here. They're four inches or five inches? Oh, yeah, sorry. Footy shorts.

SPEAKER_01

My border shorts. Borderline hanging out. Yeah, booty shorts. They're literally booty shorts. But I just always loved them when I was younger and because I always thought they were comfortable. And then I I've just had this idea for years to create footy shorts that are workwear with like belt loops and ruler pockets and all that kind of shit.

SPEAKER_02

They they genuinely are because I have a pair of shorts, of footy shorts, uh Marone red, and I still have them from when I was like almost 100 kilos, and I won't get rid of them because they're so comfortable. Yeah. I should probably maybe buy some more.

SPEAKER_04

I bought a pair of footy shorts for a costume. These are the worst shorts I've ever used in my life. Yeah, right. They're so short. Yeah. What are the good are they? You sit on anything, it's just all legs. You do anything.

SPEAKER_02

Just all cock and balls hanging out.

SPEAKER_04

Literally get dirty on the floor.

SPEAKER_02

Bros hanging.

SPEAKER_01

Bro's bricked up. So pretty much I've just spent the last three years and four thousands upon thousands of dollars just trying to create not even the perfect pair of shorts that are footy shorts and work shorts. And I guess I fell into it. Pretty random.

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, I think the context behind that was like I in that aspect, like I did kind of fall into it, but I originally I wanted to do tiling. A tiling was the thing that I wanted to do first, but then they didn't do apprenticeships, and they said, Oh, well, we have an apprenticeship in flooring. And then I kind of just did my apprenticeship in flooring then, and I just haven't looked back.

SPEAKER_01

Would you ever like labour for a tiler just to get a floor? Or you kind of don't really give a fucking floor.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I guess it would it would essentially be the same aspect, just uh different type of adhesive and different product, and you'd need probably a little bit more tools, but but it's still easy. I would I would well, I mean, seeing that I know how to do flooring, I wouldn't be that hard for me to do tiling.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because it would be the same type of concept. If you say wall tiling, uh I mean it would be the same type of concept, but you're going vertical, so it would fuck my head up. It's like doing wall uh like wall flooring or even wall vinyl. That shit's completely different.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I guess it depends on how good you want to be at something. You can say something's easy, but if you're you can say it's easy if you shit at it.

SPEAKER_04

Finishing up that topic, you're saying this is one of your last days in Geralton.

SPEAKER_01

It is. Yeah, I'll be leaving in the next couple of days.

SPEAKER_04

To head back to Melbourne or near Melbourne. Back to Melbourne, yeah. Across the Nullabore.

SPEAKER_01

Across the Nullarbore, no reception, no guess darling, no no no fuel at the moment. Yeah, no fuel.

SPEAKER_04

Have you thought about this for your trip?

SPEAKER_01

Uh my girlfriend has. She's been telling me that we need to fill up every jerry can under the sun and um chuck them on our roof, but I don't know, I kind of think.

SPEAKER_02

What do you think of these fuel prices?

SPEAKER_01

Um, it fucking doesn't cross my mind to be honest. You're that rich that just the fuel prices just don't no, I just feel like it's a couple of dollars extra in each fuel tank and everyone's freaking out, but it's really like it's a couple of dollars. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But you're gonna feel it when you get back to Melbourne, you have to drive 40 minutes to go to work.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, what's the what's the fuel prices in uh Melbourne? I think it's I feel like it would be three bucks at least.

SPEAKER_04

It went from a dollar eighty to two dollars forty for diesel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I don't know, it doesn't scared me at all. But then Chloe's been freaking out saying that um well it's World War III is pretty much happening, blah blah blah, there's no fuel coming in. Then even JP, who's not bothered by fucking much at all, mentioned it today, and then I was like, maybe I'm being a bit too blasé about it.

SPEAKER_04

My misses was sending me photos and like screenshots, and it was like um fuel servos on rations, and then it was like cataby, which is like on the way to Earth, out of fuel.

SPEAKER_02

Adam was just told me that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. Because it's funny because Chloe was freaking out about it, and I was like, Are you just Doom scrolling, like you know, what blah blah blah? And then she's like, No, I'll send you this thing by the ABC. Like, ABC is a trusted news source, like all the other cunts are just you know trying to get attention, like clicks, clickbait, it's all clickbait. Like that's what the news is. Blah blah blah. You love clickbaits. It didn't used to be though. Are we news? Here you go. So what are you on? This is like this is this cool mass games, brother. Go down to where I'm go down further, go down lower lower.

SPEAKER_02

The peninsula. Oh my god. Where's no like I scroll it? Yeah, how much lower? Go down to like there's Mornington. Yeah, what's your address? Zoom in.

SPEAKER_01

You're trying to dox me, brother. Yeah, go down to like safety beach or Rosebud down there. Yeah, apartment seven cross um which way?

SPEAKER_02

Not that way, you go on Coral Bay, bro.

SPEAKER_01

That yeah, around there.

SPEAKER_02

Safety beach, two dollars nineteen, so it's about the same here.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, same shit. That's what I mean. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_02

But then in the CBD, it gets up to 260.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I'm I like who I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

I just yeah, the fuel prices don't really bother me that much.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but 50 cents a litre.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it gets up to it.

SPEAKER_04

Like my car holds 200 litres. That's extra hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I don't know. It's an extra hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe I'm too blasé about it. I'm just like, I'm not gonna be able to change anything. What's the point of fucking sitting there like smiling on it?

SPEAKER_02

This is why me and you, I think, became so close and like so such good friends, like so quick. Is because your mindset is very much very similar to mine. Because like it's the same with this whole like World War III thing, same the same with the um fuel prices, same with a lot of things that go on in life. It's just like if you can't do anything about it, what's the point of stressing?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, which it's hard because there's there's two ways of thinking. It's like there's one way of thinking which you could think like some people could say, like, oh, you're you you've you anyone can make change and stuff, but I'm not gonna be able to change the petrol prices. I'm not gonna waste my time thinking about it, dwelling on it. Yeah, maybe I'll get stuck on the other board and then I'll start dwelling on it.

SPEAKER_04

Because I was concerned, like I wasn't worried, but I was like, hey, just in case you get stuck, yeah, I just want to be that guy that said, I warned you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, no, fair enough.

SPEAKER_04

Um like you know, I'm still gonna go to Perth this weekend, might cost me more, so be it.

SPEAKER_01

That's just what's gonna happen. Yeah, and everyone's in the same boat. It kind of is what it is. Like, uh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

And we were talking like, because if the servo's running out, you're like, like at my work, you know, there's 90 odd road trains filling up every 12 hours, like 800 litres. Fucking hell. So just go and rob them.

SPEAKER_01

Is that what you're saying?

SPEAKER_05

No, no, we don't have a lot of people. I'll be robbing fuel. I'd be like, yo, if you want me to come to work, you've got to give me fuel.

SPEAKER_02

That's that's fair call, but but it's also like yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It it it is probably a bit worrying. Um but yeah, again, what the fuck do you do? I'm just gonna keep filling up my car, and if eventually I get somewhere where I can't fill up, then what do I do? I'll just wait till there's pure like kind of. I got a topic.

SPEAKER_04

Are you less of a man if you can't drive a manual? Oh fuck, I can't. Yeah, you know I'm out today.

SPEAKER_05

I'm calling him out.

SPEAKER_01

I can, but it's gonna be a bumpy ride. So you just what do you call it though? You don't call it manual.

SPEAKER_05

Fuck it out. Have you invited me on Mr. Bully with you?

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

You call it stick ship. I don't call it stick ship, but I just call it stick.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god. That's that's gay.

SPEAKER_02

Well, what did you say to me the other day? You were like, oh yeah, I can't drive stick, and I was like, the fuck is that? That's an American thing.

SPEAKER_01

What are you thinking twigs? Yeah. No, that's just what everyone calls. Dude, sometimes I feel like I'm having a conversation with you, cunts, and you're just like, we're speaking a different language.

SPEAKER_04

I'm glad to know cunts is a universal term in Australia. Very universal term.

SPEAKER_01

So sometimes I'm talking to you guys or guys at work or down the street or whatever, and they say something to me, and I just look at them with this like It's because Victorians are backwards.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know Victoria? You're the only state that's backwards.

SPEAKER_01

What makes us backwards? Strange people, Palmer. You do daylight savings. Stick. It's the best thing ever. It is not. The days are big and long.

SPEAKER_03

The fucking just because the time changes doesn't mean that there's magically more sun. Yes, we get more sun throughout the day.

SPEAKER_01

No, they actually do.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but like, you get more sun doesn't mean there's more time in the day. There literally fucking is. There literally fucking.

SPEAKER_01

I mean in the 24 hours, you don't get more than 24 hours. The sun is up for a longer amount of time than in in summer, that there is more sun than winter. What do you think are literally longer?

SPEAKER_04

What I'm saying is in 24 hours you don't get more than 20, like you don't have randomly stuck in 27-hour days. No, but you have you adjust the clock.

SPEAKER_01

It's so dumb. No, you adjust the clock so you have more time throughout the day. Otherwise, like over here, the sun comes up at like fucking 4 30 or 5 a.m. sometimes. And it's like, why would you do that? Wouldn't you rather have a bit more? No one's waking up.

SPEAKER_04

When I say day, I'm not referring to the time when there is sun.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm referring to a day as what Zeke's saying is you have more like the sun doesn't go down until way later. Yeah, I know. No, no, that's all.

SPEAKER_04

Like, you're talking about dumb to just change the time for that.

SPEAKER_01

You guys actually tried it for a year and it didn't work. But what I'm saying, what I'm saying, no, that because you can't backwards. You guys you guys are 10 years behind in every single aspect of life, pretty much. The fact that you still are driving stick is, you know, whatever. Manual. The fact that we can drive it? Yeah, I can drive it is not a drive. Can you reverse the driver? Definitely not with the manual. No, I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_05

Bro's gonna be sitting there just like slowly getting a clutch.

SPEAKER_01

Jill starts? Oh fuck, scary. That'll be a smelly clutch. But um, no, it it makes so much sense. What do you what e why would you rather have an extra hour in the morning when every cun is sleeping? Well, wouldn't you rather have that extra hour at night?

SPEAKER_04

Well, I go to work superior, so it doesn't affect me at all.

SPEAKER_01

You're like a fucking you do night shift and shit, so it's kind of irrelevant to you anyway.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, that's half of WA though. Keep keep going, because that's the way of uh like JP trying to get out of this conversation is to say, oh well it doesn't affect me, so don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_01

I just feel like I'd rather have an extra hour in the afternoon rather than like a wasted hour in the morning that no one's awake anyway.

SPEAKER_04

See, that's the thing I don't get is like, yeah, you guys are changing that. But like at my workshop, my old workshop, it was like, oh, sounds getting up earlier. Let's just go to work earlier, but still finish the same time. So you have to do an extra hour at work? Yeah, well we run, you know, we try and end for 12 hours. Like, how many hours do you normally do over there? Nine. Then why don't you just work more hours to start at the earlier time? Why would I want to work an extra hour?

SPEAKER_01

The less work I do, the better. All I'm saying is I pretty much finish work. So I'll finish work at maybe four o'clock. The sun doesn't go down until fucking nine thirty. I've got a whole nother day after work to do so many fucking activities. Oh I love it.

SPEAKER_02

9 30 at night.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What time it goes down?

SPEAKER_01

We're gonna have long days over there. That that would be fire. It's fucking awesome when you've got a whole nother day after you finish work, which you don't have over here. Because you're it seems like pretty much throughout the whole year your days pretty much are the same length. Like pretty much.

SPEAKER_04

No, you the sun will definitely come up earlier and go down later.

SPEAKER_02

In winter?

SPEAKER_04

Other way around, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02

In summer.

SPEAKER_04

But not not like a huge difference.

SPEAKER_02

No, summer it goes down later.

SPEAKER_04

Like we'll get times here where like normally at the moment it's like you know, 4 30 or whatever, the sun's coming up. But then it will change to like 7 or 7 30. Sun's coming up so late, it'll go down by like five o'clock.

SPEAKER_02

Which I do, you gotta admit, you it is good though when it does happen. Like when the sun goes down later, it feels like you got more time to do shit, exactly what you've done.

SPEAKER_01

I finished work and I'm like, fuck yeah, what am I doing now? I'm gonna you know, go fishing, go to the do anything. You just got a whole nother day to do whatever the fuck you want. I love it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And that was a weird adjustment to over here as well, the fact that your days are always consistent. But then kind of nice, right? Kind of nice, right? Consistency's alright. Always the same. Um throughout winter it gets a bit miserable over there, I'll admit that. Like you the sun comes up at like 8 a.m. and then the sun's back down by like five.

SPEAKER_02

That is that is weird though, the sun coming up at 8 o'clock.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, or maybe like 7 30 or something.

SPEAKER_02

What's the what's the best thing that you've found or that was unexpected coming to to like WA?

SPEAKER_01

How much better it is here?

SPEAKER_02

Us, obviously.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But no, honestly, it's obvious. No, the people. I'll say the people.

SPEAKER_02

Because Melbourne, you've ridden you've now realized that like Melbourne and Victorians are fucked in the head.

SPEAKER_01

There's no, they're backwards.

SPEAKER_02

Fucked in the head.

SPEAKER_01

There's so many of them that they you guys are related to Tasmania, aren't you?

unknown

Uh no.

SPEAKER_02

You guys have like like pretty much the similar type of people? Not connected.

SPEAKER_01

I think they're closer to Kiwi's.

SPEAKER_02

Like Yeehaws?

SPEAKER_01

No, but in Victoria, in all honesty, in Victoria, there's there's so many more people there that people are less friendly, if that makes sense. Yeah. So because there's so many more people there, you're not gonna walk down the street and say hi to everyone you fucking walk past. Whereas I would shake their hand as well. Good luck.

SPEAKER_02

That's the last person that's ever gonna do that.

SPEAKER_01

But over here, like there's less people, so people seem like they're more polite to be.

SPEAKER_02

Almost like you feel more uh like the area feels more open and free, not so cramped, and like you can actually breathe over here and talk to people. No, no, genuinely, like there's too many people cramped into one like area. So then when you come over here, it's you go to like more rural areas, like we're more far apart than a lot of cities. Yeah, yeah. Like that is another thing. You can um like it feels like you can breathe and you got things to do, like travel, you can go up. Like, I feel like there wouldn't Oh no, that's not true. I feel like there would be a lot of stuff to do over there on the East Coast.

SPEAKER_01

This is this is one of the the first moments of realisation that I noticed that people were more relaxed and nicer over here. Was me and my girlfriend both jumped on, her dad has some four-wheelie motorbikes.

SPEAKER_02

Wheelie? Four-wheelie motorbikes?

SPEAKER_01

Four-wheel motorbikes. A quad? Quad bike, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Oh my fucking girl. Four-wheelie motorbike? Anyway, yeah, yeah. Not a four-wheeler? Four-wheeler, four-wheeler motorbike, whatever the fuck you want to call it.

SPEAKER_04

The fact you're still saying motorbike is crazy to me.

SPEAKER_01

See what I mean? I can't even talk without you motherfuckers. And I'm trying to I'm trying to compliment you guys, say that you're nice. You guys can't.

SPEAKER_02

It's so funny that you keep coming back to like a bike with four wheels.

SPEAKER_01

Stop saying motorbike. Well, it's a motor. What is it then? Quad with a is it a bike with a motor? It's a quad.

SPEAKER_05

No, but like if you said to someone here, yeah, I was just telling me motorbike, they would never assume you mean like a quad.

SPEAKER_02

That would think two wheeler.

SPEAKER_04

Think two-wheeler. Four-wheel motorbike.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, but here you just say four-wheeler.

SPEAKER_02

You almost sound like a toddler like learning how to talk.

SPEAKER_05

You look like you've learnt English and you have to say it like to the fucking I'll go on a four-wheel mobike.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry, sir. Anyway, go on. I can't remember what. Is this gonna be our first guest to up and leave? Like halfway through. Yeah, no, you would you you were talking about like motorbikes and quads and your dad, uh Chloe's dad having one. And you're going up the beach or something, two? Yep. Rich boy. Bros, he's not gonna talk.

SPEAKER_01

He's gonna mind. So we we jumped on the quads. Good. Could someone could think I'm talking about my leg, but I'm not, I'm talking about the ones that have a motor with them.

SPEAKER_00

Moto.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my fucking god. I can't even talk. Sorry, go, go, go. I jumped on the what do you want me to call it? You guys are giving me like five different things.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, call it whatever you want to call it.

SPEAKER_01

Whatever a motorbike with four wheels. There you go. We both jumped on one. I think I was actually dinking Chloe. Is that a word you guys use? Dink? Alright. Machine the handlebars or yeah, uh dink. I was driving a four-wheel motorbike with Chloe on the back along the beach, which you cannot do in Victoria. Big no-no. Very illegal, like not allowed to do. I think I think technically you're not supposed to do it here, but no one cares. Yeah. Um, and we're driving up and down the beach, and then we were coming back home, we're making our way back home, and there was an old lady along walking along the beach with her dog. So we like slowed down and we'll and we'll because there was no one else on the beach until this lady. And we slowed down and we were a bit kind of nervous, like, we're probably gonna get in trouble here. And we slowed down, and then we kind of nice and slowly drove past her and she said, Hey you going, good day for a ride, isn't it? And there was just this old lady, like, if that happened back in Victoria, it'd be some old lady like, I'm calling the cops on you. You know, like there's it's the nan it's called the nanny state for a reason. There's so many rules back there.

SPEAKER_02

The nanny state.

SPEAKER_01

Oh the nanny state. There's just so many rules, and everyone's you know not everyone, a lot of people are a bit uptight, but everyone everyone's a bit more relaxed over here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because WA is the golden state.

SPEAKER_04

What do you prefer? Watching the sunsets over the ocean or watching them rise?

SPEAKER_01

I see the sunset over the ocean where I live. Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's because you're in a peninsula.

SPEAKER_01

Wait, what? Peninsula.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but the sunsets here are still.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, were you asking if he would rather watch the sun rise or the sunset?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, over the ocean, because obviously one time.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But the the yeah, the sunsets here are like where you get nice sunsets, you know, once a week, maybe, but over here, like most nights, they're pretty fucking beautiful.

SPEAKER_02

Do you think you will potentially move move here? Like uh full time?

SPEAKER_04

Not full time.

SPEAKER_02

So what if you guys potentially um maybe buy a house here or something, or maybe have a baby here, or like what if you like you you know, your best friend from WA maybe convinces you. Asking for a friend, obviously.

SPEAKER_01

That's a bit a big ask. No, we actually did look at the property prices. In saying that, it's gone up a lot in the last like couple of years. Yeah. This place I rem I still remember looking at um a block of land on literally on the beach for$129,000 about three years ago. I've never been here at that time. And I was like, oh, should I that's like you can nearly buy that? Me and Chloe put our money together, we can nearly buy that out. That's pretty fucking cool. And we're like, nah, like there probably won't be that much growth, and now that property would be worth like$500,000.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's bullshit. Do you know slang from over east? Like, what's your type of slang? Because you said that you come over here and you're all like confused and all that type of shit. Do you know what togs are? What? Togs.

SPEAKER_01

New Zealand people call bathers, isn't it? Or Americans.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no, it's what Queensland is called uh um Bathers. Bathers. Yeah, I have to do that. I call them Bathers Bathers. Yeah, and then also a port. Do you know what a port is? Nope.

SPEAKER_04

A drink?

SPEAKER_02

Nope. Something you wear.

SPEAKER_01

No. I mean, uh socks.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_01

I want you guys to try and hit me with some things that WA people say that you're pretty sure we don't say. Hey, how are you?

Well, like slang. Slang, do you mean?

SPEAKER_01

I'm just trying, yeah. I'm just trying to. Something we say that you don't. I guess you it would be better for me to try and pick up on that. But there's so many things you guys.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I mean, palmy is a massive one. That's a massive debatable.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, palmy parma. What's some things that they just wait?

SPEAKER_02

No, let me just say this. If you're saying palmo out there for a palmy or a palmer, I'll let those two slide, but palmo is just not a thing. Fuck you. What what some words that you got that we might do.

SPEAKER_01

I just realised me putting you on the spot like that. That's like, how the fuck you're even supposed to think of that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Well, uh like what would be some regular slang terms that you would use over there?

SPEAKER_01

We don't really use slang. We're a bit most of us are a bit more educated than you guys over here.

SPEAKER_04

But wait, you're not a true Australian? You don't abbreviate everything for no uh reason at all.

SPEAKER_01

Nah, nah. Nah. I use um pronoun proper uh pronunciation and vernacular. What a waste of time. Uh vernacular. Where's your fucking monica and top at?

SPEAKER_03

Put your glasses back on. They're all in your head, mate.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I didn't notice that I was wearing these the whole time.

SPEAKER_01

Only once I could get a sausage. That's exactly what I want to talk about. Oh, sorry. Your sausages. Oh. Well, not exactly, but why you want to talk about our sausages? Sorry, what? No, the fact that you guys have them in hot dog buns, what the fuck is that?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's just because bunnings have a deal here with the people.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so is it just gelatin? Yeah, just this one.

SPEAKER_02

They are normally in just like a bread. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Collie's St. Farmer.

SPEAKER_04

Staff's actually what the fuck is that?

SPEAKER_02

A city-based inventor in farming. Common Australian slang used in Melbourne. Yeah, nah. We use that. No worries. Dead set. Fair dinkum. No one uses this is a mis misgenderized thing in Australia. Genderized. Excuse me?

SPEAKER_01

Like people say dinkum. It's kind of like Nelly sarcastic. Yeah. Just works.

SPEAKER_04

It's those things like you ni like weird naming of things. Like when I go like full driving with the boys, and they need to give it like, you know, more power to get through. You know, you yell them, give it the beans or the berries or more jandle.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Do you use as. So here it says as A S is used for sweet as. All very good. Huh? Where are you looking? Where did you point? There. Right. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I can't.

SPEAKER_02

Well, what's what's that one?

SPEAKER_01

I read it out to you.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So did he answer?

SPEAKER_01

I didn't I didn't hear what you said. What'd you say, sir?

SPEAKER_02

He said, do you use Candace?

unknown

Fuck off.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, I didn't. Because you were pointing at he was pointing at nothing, and I'm like, where the fuck is this dude pointing right now? And then when I heard Candace, I was like, ah, he's trying to set him up. Okay. Perfect.

SPEAKER_05

And then you just you were made, you were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you went quiet and I was like, fuck now, I'm gonna have to try and do it. Because you only get one chance if it flops, then it flops, you're just gonna move on.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So yeah, there's there's some or Urban Urban Dictionary or Victoria Dictionary.

SPEAKER_04

What?

SPEAKER_01

They have their own. Ace. Oh, that's ace.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. Some people use it. Crumb dinger. I think I've actually already spoken to it. That's good. Stab dead.

SPEAKER_02

No, I say crumb donga. Is that like a crumb, chicken and cheese?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they just don't exist back home. I can't remember if I've got to be able to do that. Oh, you did tell me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you're more of a beef and cheese bloke, aren't you?

SPEAKER_01

Cheese in my beef. No, those things are dangerous though. You never warned me about the fucking shot of the in the back of the throat. Yeah, no, those things are fucked.

SPEAKER_02

Damn, you uh you're leaving. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01

I'm fucking leaving. Nah, I'm leaving. I am leaving. Yeah. Do you want to stay?

SPEAKER_04

Tell us how you really feel.

SPEAKER_02

It's not a good thing. Genuinely, genuinely do you want to stay? Like if you had the choice, if if I can convince your missus to stay.

SPEAKER_04

If he sucks you off enough, will you stay? He'll do it too. Don't stay on camera. Um, yeah, no, I never felt chin hairs when you're downstairs. I don't know why I just killed that. Not yet.

SPEAKER_01

Not yet. Does that imply something? No, no, I wouldn't mind staying for a bit longer. But then the other thing that goes into my brain as well, the grass is always greener. So maybe I don't know. Maybe because I'm going home, like, fuck, I wish I was staying. But then if I was staying, maybe not that it really crossed my mind. I was never really that keen to go back home, but grass isn't greener on the other side.

SPEAKER_04

Grass is greener where you water it.

SPEAKER_01

Well, there's no water here and there's no grass here. There's no fuel here either. I think I'm I'm not cra like there's not a crazy amount of sadness because I know that I'm gonna see you guys again. I know that I'll be coming back here because Chloe's dad lives here. Like I I just feel like it's a second home now. Like it's it's weird.

SPEAKER_02

I never I never would have thought I'd become so attached to a town, but do you think it's because like and like this is genuine, like because you said when you first came you didn't have really had have many friends, and then you started working and you met all the blokes on site and then you met us and like do you think it's the people that you've made essentially like what you said, like the grass is greener where you water it? Like you've obviously poured water into this town and met people.

SPEAKER_01

That's a great point. Yeah. Do you think it's I guess somewhat because of the people that you've met here, or do you think it's Yeah, I think I think moving out of your hometown and moving to a new town, you kind of you make the decision to either you know don't put in the effort to meet people or and talk to people, or you put in the time and effort into meeting new people and you know putting yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit. Like even just the fact that I came up to you and started talking to you at the gym. I'd I wouldn't say that I would have been not as likely to do that back in my hometown. I have no need, like I've I've got my friends, I don't really care. Um yeah, I think I've just I've just said yes to a few things that maybe I wouldn't have back home and and I worked with a great bunch of dudes as well, that's been pretty awesome. Yeah. They've been um welcoming with open arms into their family and um all the other workers and stuff. But I think moving away from your hometown is is definitely an awesome thing, like get getting to meet new people and like you essentially move, like you never didn't always live here, you didn't always live here. I I noticed that a lot of people from Geralton have come from other places as well. So there's there's not that like that clickiness of you know, not friends with this person, not friends with that person. Everyone's and and age difference as well. Like, I've been hanging out with people that are 17 to people that are like 40 apprentice at work, call the cops about over like 17 to bloody 45, like just a massive age gap. Yeah, like everyone, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That's the joys of a tradey force, though. Yeah, it is true.

SPEAKER_02

That is true.

SPEAKER_04

You just you know, you meet fresh out of school, you're 18 years old, and all of a sudden you're beefing with 50-year-olds. Yeah, like what's going on here?

SPEAKER_02

You're throwing hands with old cunts that are trying to tell you what to do.

SPEAKER_04

It's like 5 a.m. in the morning, you're making gay jokes to some guy with a kid, a mortgage, and seven daughters.

SPEAKER_02

Bro, that's the other thing is that I've come to the realisation that the most straightest people are the most gayest. And not as in like the gayest, as in they act, like they do the act of gay, but they like talk gay. There's like the straightest, whitest dudes will be the gayest type of people that you'll meet. And then the gayest, gay people are like the straightest uh people. I'm not understanding.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I get where you come from, but I don't like it.

SPEAKER_02

I like making gay content and not like that. What was that? Not like that, all right. Link below, only fans, Thomas Dafford. I like making like funny type, like gay content.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but you know on intelligent as well to like kiss you every day. Oh no, yeah. You know how like when he doesn't actually kiss you, sorry.

SPEAKER_01

I'm following what you're saying. I'm following what you're saying. Yeah, that that's and I I feel like yeah, like someone's smacking you on the ass.

SPEAKER_02

Like even on site, like you'll meet like the whitest, straightest dude, and he was like, Yeah, I'll fucking take you home, let him eat your ass or some shit like that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's a little bit more saying, but yeah, yeah, or yeah, maybe not that.

SPEAKER_02

Like a a trade will just walk past and slap you on the ass or something like that.

SPEAKER_01

Like flick you on the dick or something.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I haven't had that, but where do I sign up for that?

SPEAKER_01

See what I mean? Yeah, that is it is funny though, the what you were talking about, like the age demographic of like going on site, like the I guess yeah, the people that I've been hanging out with, like from 17th, there's a 17, I think there's even a 16-year-old on site apprentice to yeah, someone in their 40s, and we're all hanging out. And it's funny because when you're that age, you you look at a 40-year-old, you're like, they're a big grown-up, and then you work with them for a week, you're like, they're as fucking dumb as me.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they're as childish as what I am. Yeah, yeah. If not, probably more childish.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it's funny, it breaks down some barriers that would be there if you didn't work with them.

SPEAKER_02

So, question that I want to ask you, and I've asked JP the same thing, because you work with apprentices and you probably teach apprentices. Would you yell at your apprentice, or have you yelled at your apprentice, and why would you?

SPEAKER_01

Um I don't think I have yelled at an apprentice ever. No, I'm not sure. No, I haven't. I I can understand that there would be a need to some because I'm thinking of some that you know they never get like the harsh uh you know what I mean? They're too people are too nice to them, so they think they can just almost get away with anything. Yeah, step over you and stuff. Yeah. I've never had to personally, I feel like I it works better for me if I'm if I come at it from a friend perspective. You know, I try to create friendships with them and stuff, and then I can tell them I'll just be straight up and say, Look, you're being lazy here. Like I can, you know, I'd rather talk to them like people. I feel like my boss, when I was an apprentice, was you know, talk to me like a human. So talking to a an apprentice like a human usually is the better option. But I can also see like some people taking advantage of that and they might need a little bit of a kick up the butt sometimes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Um I feel like a a lot of the time when tradies do uh yell at their apprentice, they're either getting something personal out. Not not necessarily that thing, but they're getting some inner anger out, or they're they've just been um taught, like you said, like your boss spoke to you like a like a human, so that in relation then transferred to you, and you're like, that's the better way, I think, to do it. As where older generation probably got yelled at, thrown shit at, and all that type of stuff. So they're like, that's the best way to do it, and then they wonder why a lot of tradies are like, fucking pussy.

SPEAKER_04

I'm fairly certain that's why they introduced laws now. You've got to be some apprentices got abused.

SPEAKER_01

The stick, like you know, break that line though. Like, surely they didn't like it, so why the fuck are you doing it to the next person? If you're an apprentice and you're getting sworn out and you know, abused or whatever, and then you become a tradesman and do it again, even though you remember how much you hated it. Well, I think it's more of a question.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's more of a it's my turn.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's but that I reckon that's fucking bullshit.

SPEAKER_02

Do you agree with the whole like stigma of trade uh tradey and apprentice um like jokes? So you know how like go to Bunnings and get buck sparks or like get a left-handed screw, but then you've all you also see the ones where, especially in your field, um like carpenters, where they'll get so uh, for example, with a carpenter, they'll put they'll put a bit of timber in between their thing and they'll uh like a staple it to the floor, or uh like concrete is I'd get like so on to and then they'll like cut the bag open and concrete will fall over the head. Do you agree with all that or nah?

SPEAKER_01

There's probably a line somewhere. I don't reckon the concrete on the head thing is nice. Maybe like the shooting them to the ground thing is kind of funny, like it's a joke. And you've got to paddling and leaving them there. All daddy.

SPEAKER_04

I reckon all smoker. Oh I reckon then unhook them and then they can have their smoke.

SPEAKER_01

There's a line, there's a line between like making jokes between each other and then bullying. Yeah. As long as you're not bullying them and it's and it's and everyone's copping the same shit.

SPEAKER_02

Like, it's hard to define a line though, because it all depends on the individual and how they're I was about to say that, like you almost have to like gauge them to see how they deal with like jokes and banter and all that type of stuff. And if they can handle it, then it's like, alright, cool, maybe we can go to the next step. But there was big and the reason why the reason why I asked is because there was a guy over in Turkey, I think it was, and um, this was just straight up fucked up and bullying, but they put an air hose up his ass and his intestines exploded and he died, and uh he was an apprentice. Yeah, yeah. It's fucked up, and that shit I think should be or there was one where um a tradeie oh actually it was a bunch of tradies that um got a young apprentice up on a forklift and um I think they duct taped him or something to like a piece of timber and just like left him there, or they hooked him onto like a chain in uh in a mechanic shop and they just kind of left him there.

SPEAKER_01

See that's where that's where I definitely draw the line. Anything that is dangerous and like can like physically hurt, even with me, like if someone is on the expedited, say they're digging and I'm getting their heights or something, if they like try and fuck around with me and like oh, you know, like yeah, I'm like fuck off, cunt. Like yeah, you're endangering me right now, like that's where I draw the line.

SPEAKER_02

But then you get the whole like oh don't be a pussy, like I'm just joking around.

SPEAKER_01

No, it's not, it's not nah, fuck that. I draw I draw the line at um harm, like physically possibly hurting somebody.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, if you can get physically hurt and potentially put in the hospital or even potentially lose your life, then that's where the draw the line. I feel like the things like putting the timber between the shirt and nailing it to the subfloor.

SPEAKER_01

It's a joke, it's funny as long as everyone's laughing, you know, who cares?

SPEAKER_02

Especially if the apprentice is laughing as well. Like you don't want him to be like, oh nah, or even go home and go, these people that I work with are fucking arsehole.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, yeah, there's a line. Like in I know definitely there's been times where with um the old you get your grease and you put it under their door drawers. Yeah. So if you're that's all harmless. All the anti C stuff, all on the drawers and stuff. It's harmless, but enough to send you over the edge because that's still textural.

SPEAKER_02

It's all all harmless stuff, but yeah, there's apprentices. Like there was one actually that blew up where this apprentice was background too?

SPEAKER_05

Sorry.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, oh my god. It's good that it's a comedy podcast. Um there was one that actually recently blew up. It is technically harmful in the long run, but it was he was uh drilling into a cement slab, and then this dude came up with an air hose and like blew the the concrete dust up.

SPEAKER_01

See that's what I mean. It's so hard.

SPEAKER_02

I know what you mean. But I mean the dude the dude should be of should have been wearing a mask.

SPEAKER_01

Pull water down, isn't it? Kind of, but when you're doing that, you're not getting that much dust blowback when you are drilling. So I wouldn't I wouldn't like I'm pretty I w like to wear a mask most times when I'm drilling concrete or whatever, but uh when I'm working with concrete products, but that the dust shouldn't be blowing back into your face like that. Yeah, yeah. But so obviously he fucking did. Go on and force that. I know exactly the video you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02

Um yeah so that one was the one that blew up. I think, yeah, that's type of fucked up shit. I don't think uh should be allowed, or you should just stop doing it, but like the harmless pranks like what you said, like the grease underneath it. That's fine. Everyone's good.

SPEAKER_04

Or you wrap up your toolbox in like cell phone or something.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's just all funny shit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Everyone's laughing, who cares?

SPEAKER_04

But the camera's uh beeping because it's low battery. Oh yeah, I think this one's that's why memory. Oh, there it goes. There it goes, that one's sorry about those difficulties. We may have uh run out of camera battery on those other ones. We've been rambling and we're back now. But anyway, we're pretty much gonna finish it off by saying we're gonna miss you, mate. I hope you get to come over more.

unknown

Definitely.

SPEAKER_04

We enjoyed making skits and all that with you. It's been good having you. Kind of sad you're leaving. But I'm sure I'll see you around, maybe to fit cruise control before you leave.

SPEAKER_01

I might come around tomorrow.

SPEAKER_04
