4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: a bit of a money grab just by looking at this.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,759

Speaker 3: I want to talk about one man.

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how he feels about this, but he's

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: done an interview yesterday as quite a story.

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: He's known as single Joe.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: That's his pseudonym, okay, because he's a sperm doner wheep.

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: But he's had one hundred and eighty kids, but he

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: can't find love himself.

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: He's fifty two years of age, just.

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Really good at donating.

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: He helps struggling families have baby.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: He's using natural insemination, partial insemination, and artificial insemination. He

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: does it himself, he says here, he's opened up quite

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: a bit in this article.

24
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Single Joe, what.

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: Do you mean he does it himself.

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: Well, well, no, that's his job.

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: So he inseminates women as his job, but he also

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: donates on the side. He gets a real thrill out

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: of it, says here. He also ships his in the article,

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: says he also ships his baby batter across America, Argentina, Italy, Singapore,

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: the Philippines and the UK.

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: It's not working at a fish and chip shop, is he?

33
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Where's this guy from? He is from. He's going to

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: stand out when the child is born in Singapore.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: He's been donating for fourteen years, says He's good deeds

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: haven't helped him into the romance department. He's looking for

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: love and he can't find it.

38
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: You know, they talk about when you get back on

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: the dating scene and you're out and about, you've got

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: to try and work out when the right time to

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: bring up the idea that you have kids. Do you

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: Are you up front with it straight away? Do you

43
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: mention at the end of the date or during the day?

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Do you casually bring it up? When he says I've

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: got one hundred and eighty kids on.

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: A date, I don't know. I reckon that might be

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: a stumbling block for a couple. Of girls.

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: So there's a would there be there's one hundred and

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 3: eighty kids out there that look like him?

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Well in a way, yeah, he's DNA. So when you say,

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get my head around.

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: Does he, through some level of professional procedure make his

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: donations or does he turn up with a rose in

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: his mouth and a blow champagne and some oysters and

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: do the job naturally?

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: You might say no.

57
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 3: Well if that, if that is his job, I would

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: dare say whip that.

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: You know how people at lunch time might go and

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: have a feed, or get outside get some sun, or

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: might go do some exercise. If he's working in a

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: hospital and he helps with insemination, I would say lunchtime

63
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: sometimes he just go next door and just donate.

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Donate everywhere I've they got a side hustle. Where is

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: it? It's in my pants?

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's like I would it'd be like donating blood.

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: He works in the hospital, though he works at Lifeblood.

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: He's just getting a bit of himself and he's just

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: donating gets a real.

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: Thrill out of it.

71
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: The thing is that this gets him down every year

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: for Valentine's Day. It just unfortunately he doesn't have anyone

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: that he can sit on the couch with himself. He's

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: got a hundred and eighty kids, but no one that

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: loves too busy donating, do you know what? I've got

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: to my mind? And he had to make a donation

77
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: for scientific reasons, and what was interesting he just he

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: went into.

79
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: The little room and there's a chair there, and he thought,

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: how many of the guys have been here doing this

81
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: as well? And he was a bit put off by

82
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: it and struggled to sort of get everything together. But

83
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: they offer some material to help in the process, and

84
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 4: he said, I didn't want to look through those and

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: I didn't want to watch that.

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: But he's always a thing. He's always had a thing

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: for the outbackler's going. I don't know why that. He

88
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: found a movie called Four.

89
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: Farm Girls, and that's sort of now. I'm not sure

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: what was happening on that farm, but it certainly helped

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: and aided him to get across the line in his

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: side hustle on that day.

93
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: A single Joe has opened up quite a bit here.

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: He's written in the article. You would think that as

95
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: a natural donor, I would be in the saddle a lot,

96
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: but I've always said, if you want a lot of

97
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: sexy time, you should get a girlfriend or get married,

98
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: because I only meet women once or twice a month.

99
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: Typically he can't hold down a relationship, but he tell

100
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: me what the other.

101
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: Thing he can hold. He holds it quite a bit.

102
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: Sounds tell me attempt to take up a side hustle

103
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: like that once, but you should never do that at

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: a bus stop.

105
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

106
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: There are there actually places, official places you can donate to.

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: Bus stops are not one of them.

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Parks and sand dunes have also been banned.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: Well, apologies to everyone else at the bus stop that day.
