Speaker 1: Yeah, and Maldis are very mold Is very close to Italy

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: and a big influence on Malta is the food. Yeah,

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: it's like Italian food. Yeah, it's like largely like you

00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: Not really Like Maese, not really. I mean, like Nana

59
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: was full Maltese, but she lived up in the Gold

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: Coast when we grew up, so we didn't see her

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: that much. Like I saw her like maybe once every

62
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: couple of years or something, so we didn't actually grow

63
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: up with the full Maltese heritage. And you want to talk.

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: About really not much.

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,320

66
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about your heritage? Is it

67
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: a thing or not? Really?

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,960

Speaker 1: try to establish something apart from your business. I'll getting

121
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,560

122
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: That, yeah, maybe if we can, Yeah.

123
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: Culturally for your age group, let's say.

124
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: So we'd like to lead by example.

125
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Think yeah, so what would that be then, Like, what

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: are the sort what's your sweet spot of things that

127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you know maybe or your wish list of things that

128
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: you would like to see that you would like other

129
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: people who follow you, who you or it's called your

130
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: audience or your fans sort of thing, or people who

131
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: may admire you. What are the sort of things you

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: want to leave them with.

133
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 3: I think, I think just like us just doing what,

134
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: like what we believe in and not not feeling like, oh,

135
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: we can't, we can't do something because it might affect

136
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: our business, it might affect our sales and stuff like,

137
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: just doing what we strongly believe in. And we've always

138
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: gone by that from from day one and so far.

139
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: You know, nothing's backlashed at us, like in a negative way,

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: and you know, it feels good to just do stuff

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: that make content, create content that you do believe in

142
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: and like, you know, whether whether it is a bit

143
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: silly or it is a bit full on for some people,

144
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: a bit controversial social media anyway, good for social media sometimes,

145
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: like even things that are controversial in make people question

146
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: their own beliefs.

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Or give me some examples, like because that sounds nearly

148
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: sounds I don't I know, I'm sure you don't have politicians,

149
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: but nearly sounds a bit late trying to influence policy

150
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: or at least put it out there for discussion.

151
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Our parents are political activists, and we grew around the

152
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: front of Villawood detentions that are throwing rocks at police

153
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: and yeah, yeah, yeah, not not our parents, but yeah, yeah,

154
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: we used to have got all the protests and stuff

155
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: like that. So we were obviously our parents instilled watch

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: the word empathy I think in us for other people

157
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: and accepting other people that are different to what you are,

158
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: and I think that probably rubbed off on us.

159
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: Maybe also just growing up in Newtown like early two thousands,

160
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: Like Newtown was a bit of punk scene, different back then,

161
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: and you know that would have had a bit of

162
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: effect on the way we grew up as well.

163
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: I reckon, yeah, is it a bit of a punk scene,

164
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: is it?

165
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: And it was like metal punk, Girastafarrians, whatever, parties, a

166
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: lot of drugs, a lot of you know, just like yeah,

167
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: you know, basically anywhere though early two thousands was a

168
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: bit like that. It was a Bourban culture or whatever.

169
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: And do you feel as though that influenced you?

170
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: I think so definitely. Yeah, Well that's what sent Joey

171
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: off the rails a bit, which which got him actually

172
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: into a pizzeria like had he mean.

173
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: Well, there was a youth worker at the time that's

174
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: discontinued now because I think he'd lost his government funding

175
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: or whatever. But he would go around to all the

176
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: schools and any troubled kids or kids that weren't attending.

177
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: There was a list of kids at every school that

178
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: he'd like you could the principle would say, you got

179
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: to go and talk to these kids or whatnot. And

180
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: so he tried to help kids find jobs and employment

181
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: when they dropped out a year nine or ten. And

182
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: he ended up putting me in a pizzeria in like

183
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: Not on Norton Street. That's where I first met Jeff.

184
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: So have you ever reached out to this dude?

185
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: But I lost his contact. I don't know either. I

186
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: can't even remember what his name was.

187
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: He just had long hair. We used to smoke joints

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: and siggis with him at the school. Was he was

189
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: he like a youth worker.

190
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: It was a youth worker, like a proper social yeah. Yeah,

191
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: and he obviously had he had a bit of a

192
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: trouble background as a kid himself, so he could relate

193
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: and he'd light us a cigarette or whatever and be like,

194
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: he just wanted us to us to open up.

195
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, relate to you, get you, get to you

196
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: on your level.

197
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: Exactly, which he was good at.

198
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you say that is year ten, so you're

199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: like fifteen or something like that.

200
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifteen and a half fifteen.

201
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: When you left school and you got placed in this

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: job working at the piece of joining Leichhart, what did

203
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: you think to yourself?

204
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: I thought I'd do a week to get an ounce

205
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: of weed, and then that was it.

206
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: That was my plan.

207
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Go by one week, go buy something.

208
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

209
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: It was three hundred dollars for the week for like

210
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: forty hours of work.

211
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: So that was the plan. Do one week, and then.

212
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: We're living at home, living at home.

213
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then my parents had said to me, if

214
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: you lose this job, you're out on the street. But

215
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: they were bluffing. I think they weren't actually going to

216
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: do that, but I took that pretty seriously.

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: And then I got.

218
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Fired that first week, You're fired, got fired. So I

219
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: had to go back and talk to the owners. And

220
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: my Italian mayestro was saying, I'm not going to teach

221
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: this kid. Give me someone that can work the pizza

222
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: bloke the pizza my Massimo master maestra.

223
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: That he's the master, master teacher, whatever you call it,

224
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: the master of the of the of the craft at

225
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: the particular Italian restaurant. Correct, he said, you're not going

226
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: to employ anymore.

227
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: He just said to the owners, I'm not going to

228
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: deal with this kid.

229
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: What were you doing?

230
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 3: I dropped.

231
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: I dropped his calzoni out of the oven. I really

232
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: wanted to pick it up and put it on the plate,

233
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: and he said, if you drop it. He loved his calzonies,

234
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: he quipped the edges, He made it perfectly, and I said,

235
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: I promise I won't drop it. Was my second day

236
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: and I picked it up and got the wobbles and

237
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: dropped it. Then he just slapped me over the back

238
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: of the head and sent me out, gone home crying.

239
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: So you weren't really doing it bad, no, just incompetent.

240
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: The second day, he knew the amount of training it

241
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: takes to put into someone, and he's just like, we're

242
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: busy enough, give me someone that is already somewhat trained.

243
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: So you lost the job. So I might just go

244
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: back over to you. What did you do you think

245
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: you were still at school? Were you two years difference three?

246
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: What do you think about your brother now working at

247
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: a peace joint at school?

248
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: I mean that period of time, like when I was

249
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: still a teenager at school and like twelve or something

250
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: like that, I was like thirteen something, we actually were.

251
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: That was a period of time where we weren't that

252
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: close and we didn't even really talk that much.

253
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: Because you have different sets of mates and that age.

254
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I knew that like Joe went

255
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: off the rails a bit with with drugs and stuff,

256
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: and it kind of separated us for a bit for

257
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: like three or four years. Until early twenties, we kind

258
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: of like bonded back together. But at that time, like

259
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 3: when he was when when he went was working at

260
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: a like a pizza ea, I just I thought I

261
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: thought it was actually a little bit funny, Like I

262
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: thought like.

263
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: Everyone did because the pizza boy was that everyone just

264
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: laughing at me for years.

265
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: But then the only people that made pizzas were like

266
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: four on Italians or Ozzie Italians, like there wasn't really

267
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: Now there's nationalities everywhere making pizza. It's cool now. Then

268
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: it was like everyone makes pizzas.

269
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: You kind of like I can make a pizza.

270
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of like had like it was mainly

271
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: only Italians Italian heritage making pizza, so it was quite fun.

272
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: I found it quite like a little bit funny. I

273
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: actually used to like laugh a him a little bit

274
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: because he was pizza maker all the time. I didn't

275
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: really bag him, but I still it was funny. Like

276
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 3: he'd be riding his bicycle. He was always riding a

277
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: bike like bicycle, riding his bicycle home with like loads

278
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 3: of bread on the back, like it was ridiculous.

279
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: It was a crack up.

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: My friends are like your brothers cooked as literally.

281
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: I distanced myself as well because I was self aware

282
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: that I wasn't being the best influence and some of

283
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: my mates they had little brothers, and I just at

284
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: that time tried to distance myself a little bit because

285
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't want him to copy when I

286
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: was doing.

287
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: But you knew what you're doing wasn't a great idea.

288
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I knew.

289
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: So you're sort of being protective.

290
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah I wanted to. Yeah, but maybe he didn't.

291
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: Did you realize that.

292
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: I think maybe at the time.

293
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: I wasn't that friendly, but I just actually felt a

294
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: bit guilty, like I don't want to see him doing

295
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 2: the wrong things. But he was off with his own mates,

296
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 2: probably doing worse things than I was doing, smoking a

297
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: bit of pot anyway.

298
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you when I got a little bit older, Yeah,

299
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: a little bit. Yeah, but it was kind of kind

300
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: of the opposite of drugs, Like I never I never

301
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: was never interested in drugs because I think I saw

302
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: Joey get into it.

303
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: I was like a lot of younger brothers. They follow

304
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: but a few younger brothers go, I don't want to

305
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to do what. Yeah, he was one

306
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: of those few that he was like, I don't interested

307
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: in a weed or drinking really, So.

308
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that actually he paved the way. Yeah, you

309
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: caught the drugs. I didn't.

310
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: So did ju leae school the same agent.

00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: you made him?

319
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: I made him in Thailand because we got to Thailand

320
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: a lot.

321
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, we go regularly. We speak time really, yeah, Cup,

322
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: how are you serious fluent? Yeah? Cup? Yeah, we feel

323
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: entire and yeah.

324
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: So in Bangkok I had at the markets a special

325
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: chef jacket stitched up for him that said Marty on it,

326
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: and I brought it back home. That was a couple

327
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: of years before he started making Wanted was all playing.

328
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: I knew that he needed to come into the game

329
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: for this for there to be longevity, because I could

330
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: see what was happening in the pizza world, and I thought,

331
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: what was happening nothing like in terms of it just

332
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: advanded a dead end job. Really, that's what I thought.

333
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: I thought up until thirty. If you're traveling, you're a backpacker.

334
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: You make pizzas great, but once you hit thirty, you

335
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: keep for twenty bucks an hour just flipping out Pepperoni's.

336
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: Pretty physic physical, demanding job. It's like a trade. It

337
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: is a trade. Yeah, in Italy. It's very working class job,

338
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: being a pizziolo. So if your family has some money,

339
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: you're not going to You don't want your kids to

340
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: be a pizza working on a furnace, shopping fix days away.

341
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: So you were using the pizza work you're doing to

342
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: fund you to go on holidays to Thailand. Yes, basically, yeah, regularly.

343
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: It's worth eight week slab.

344
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, exactly, every day, seven days a week weeks

345
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: and then that's it quit go to Thailand.

346
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: Did you cook pizzas in Thailand?

347
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:07,480

Speaker 3: I'm really getting I speak pretty good now, like definitely

362
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: not fluent, but enough to get buying conversations and everything.

363
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Did you spend time there too, in Thailand?

364
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I've been there like eight times.

365
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: But how did you learn to be speaking? Brother?

366
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: Well? Originally, I so I moved in with my brother

367
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: at the age of like twenty, and he was living

368
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: with his partner, and I used to hear them talk

369
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: and sometimes fight. A word here and there I'd pick

370
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: up I'd pick up a word here and there until Yeah,

371
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: I just really wanted to learn because I just like,

372
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: if Joey can, Joey can be become fluent like I

373
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: had too.

374
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: Maltese descent, Aussie boys, cooking pizzas big and tie, from Newtown,

375
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: from Newtown where the that's everything. So I can take

376
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: me to the point where you decided to set up

377
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: your own business.

378
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically what happened was I invited Marty to

379
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: come in and start learning how to make pizzas, training

380
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: him how to make pizzas.

381
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: He was it at your joinal I was the head

382
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: pizza chef of the restaurant.

383
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mardy was at the gym and he was

384
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: really good at like at the gym, really enjoyed the

385
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: personal training.

386
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: And whatnot.

387
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: But I had convinced him to come and start.

388
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Making pizzas when he got him in the jacket.

389
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a couple of years after he put that.

390
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: He had the jacket on. I had mine on too.

391
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: We're in the pizzaia and he's learning how to make pizzas.

392
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: And then I learned people can be can learn really

393
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: fast in the pizzeria if you throw him in the

394
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: deep end and just leave them. So once he got

395
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: once he could start stretching bases. I booked a ticket

396
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: to Japan, didn't even tell the.

397
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: Boss, and I just left. So all he had was mary.

398
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: He had to float the boat or had that. Yeah

399
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: he knew. Yeah, I only had like three months of

400
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 3: experience and he left me in like one of the

401
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: busiest pizzas in Sydney, just three hundre pizzas a day.

402
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: It was a spinning oven, a Marana Forny spinning oven,

403
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: so you didn't have to physically turn the pizzas, but

404
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: you still had to stretch them top of them.

405
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: Put him in. Yeah, I got slammed in there like

406
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: but it was but that that's what just made me

407
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 3: become like It's like I fast forward instead of learning

408
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: slowly for two years at a place, it's like in

409
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: three months, I picked up like two years of experience

410
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: in like three months.

411
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Single swim.

412
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in there seven days a week, like

413
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: seventy to eighty hours a week, and then within three

414
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: months I was just pumping all the pizzas out, just learn.

415
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: When he come back to you, did him on the

416
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: chin say thanks very much? Bang well.

417
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: At the time, I was probably a little bit like

418
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: pissed because there was there was some some rocky services

419
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: there and like some bit of a nightmare. But later

420
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: on I realized like that that's actually how I learned.

421
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: I realized that.

422
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: He became he became a machine super fast. And that

423
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: was the idea because I thought, we don't have to.

424
00:17:59,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: Show you.

425
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: Thought this through, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just thought because

426
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: this was a massive restaurant, three hundred seat on Pitt

427
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Street in the city, and I thought, you're gonna have

428
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: to learn how to do it otherwise.

429
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Are you confident? Did he do it?

430
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was.

431
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: You thought, Okay, I'm not just I'm not pushing him

432
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: off the cliff. I know he's going to be okay.

433
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: I knew he did have a few stressful days in

434
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: there that some burnt pizzas or whatever, but that's part

435
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: part of it. And it wasn't our restaurant, So I

436
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: thought you burned the pizzas.

437
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Someone else frock. So I think I'm getting aked together

438
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: the break because I want to gether the break and

439
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: come straight back because I want to say, I want

440
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: to ask you what was the thing inspired you to

441
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: set up your own joint and what was the process

442
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: like setting up setting up, not setting your own joint,

443
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: set up your own business. You now got your own place,

444
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: but like those days when because then you were roving

445
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: making pizzas and vans and shit like that. So but

446
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: I want to know, do you remember the period when

447
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: you're saying I thought, now we can do this for ourselves.

448
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, that would have been up in Brisbane,

449
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: Like we went up to Brisbane to buy a house

450
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: because we had some savings. We thought that was a

451
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: smart thing to do in like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,

452
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen.

453
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we.

454
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: Marty ended up getting a job in a pizza truck

455
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: and he sold one hundred and fifty pizzas and the

456
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: boss wasn't there, and then he counted the money at

457
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: the end of the night and he calls me up

458
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: and he goes like, just made like three grand out

459
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: of his pizza truck. And we just instantly were.

460
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: Like, I can do that.

461
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: We were just like, why don't we build a pizza truck.

462
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: But we build the biggest one and biggest run in

463
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: the country, double ovens, two wood fire ovens, one on

464
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: each side, marble bench, full mobile, pizza era. Maybe we

465
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: could do three four five grand a day. Who knows.

466
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: So we just we thought it was going to be

467
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: a walk in the park.

468
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: Though. Yeah, I was twenty two, he was like twenty five.

469
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: Like we were young, were very full of energy, very

470
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: bit of mature.

471
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: That's a big advantage. By the way, I'm just going

472
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: to goether break' going to come straight back. I'm back

473
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: from the break and I'm here with a mister Pepperoni

474
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: missed McFly And that's Marty and Marty and Joey. They're

475
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: actual brothers. They and pizza brothers, which is obviously pizza business.

476
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: We've gone through the little story about how we got there.

477
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: What we're now exploring is when Marty experience working in

478
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: a pizza truck of all things and made quite a

479
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: bit of money for somebody else. And God, I guess

480
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: you could say, good inspired brother, Why the fuck can't

481
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: we do this?

482
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we just knew that we both worked together

483
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 3: so well, we never fight, like we're both happy to

484
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: work eighty hours a week. We won't complain even if

485
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: we're right next to each other, because we've done that

486
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: already for other people, and we're just like, oh, we've

487
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 3: got to do this for ourselves, Like why are we

488
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 3: doing this for other people? You know what I mean?

489
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: So how do you go and build? So but you

490
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: went up to Busines buy.

491
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: A house originally, Yeah, that was the plan.

492
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: That was the plan.

493
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: What do you do with the money when brought.

494
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: The truck, Well, we that was all our savings, that

495
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: was our life savings. So we had like two hundred

496
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: and seventy grand combined a bit. That was a lot

497
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: of hours. We were doing eighty hours a week in

498
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: the pizzeria, so one hundred and sixty hours per seven days.

499
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: We used to live off a fifty a week shared housing,

500
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: just put our money together, like we're a couple, so

501
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty.

502
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: We weren't getting paid much per hour, only twenty twenty

503
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: five bucks an hour, but one hundred and sixty hours

504
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: a week. We were just just stacking it, sacking it

505
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: and just be thought, yeah, let's go buy a house

506
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: because we heard someone said Brisbane's going to boom.

507
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: We didn't know, probably right, Yeah it was. It was

508
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: actually back before everything boomed.

509
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then that job with the pizza truck, and

510
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: then all the plans of buying a house, we just

511
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: stopped and we thought, we're going to build the biggest

512
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: pizza truck in the country, change out with the money spent,

513
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: all the money, change our names.

514
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: Legally you did it then at that.

515
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: Point because we were going to be superheroes or pizza

516
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: superheroes or pizza villain.

517
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 3: That was our marketing idea at the time. We didn't

518
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 3: know how people were going.

519
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 1: To perceive it as a Murray Brothers.

520
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: We just wanted to do something out of the box. Everyone,

521
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: all the other Italians in the industry are being very serious,

522
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: very passionate about their craft, no joking, and we thought

523
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: we could we can be cheeky and put a bit

524
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: of a different spin on this.

525
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, something different, but market differently exactly. Yeah, So, like,

526
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: how extreme did you go.

527
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 3: Pretty extreme, I mean, changing our names and moving to

528
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: a city we didn't know anyone, and then basically we

529
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 3: had no family up there. I mean, we did have

530
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: some family in Gold Coast, but Grandma was gone by then.

531
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: But we had all like aunties and uncles and stuff

532
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: up in Gold Coast. Not super close with them, but

533
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: they helped anyway. They were willing to help, and they

534
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: we actually had to cancel our lease in Brisbane because

535
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: we didn't have enough money to pay the lease anymore.

536
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: So we were still living.

537
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

538
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So because we started to embark on this journey

539
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: of building the pizza truck that wasn't being built. It

540
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: was just a chassy in South Brisbane. And this is

541
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: kind of like where the war to Wall I guess

542
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: this is where the whole story of like, yeah, this

543
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 2: is the starting point, I guess because we were in

544
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: South Brisbane in the industrial area and we've walked into

545
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: our warehouse very excited, very cheeky, gold chains on, just

546
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: come from Sydney. We thought we were Assie. We were

547
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: told we wos up there, but.

548
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: Different. Yeah, they all thought I was Lebanese up there.

549
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: They're like, You're Lebanese for sure, not Lebanes.

550
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: Make pizzas yea.

551
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: So we basically like we're I worked for that the

552
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 3: place that had the pizza truck, and basically we we

553
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: both we both resigned from any work we were doing

554
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: up in Brisbane, no job, and we've found a builder

555
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 3: to build our pizza truck and with yeah, and brought

556
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: that he no truck, the chasi, the truck whatever, dropped

557
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: it off of the building warehouse. Basically we walked into

558
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: this warehouse like very young, very immature, thought that we

559
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: knew everything, which we didn't, and he goes, what's your

560
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: budget or how much do you want to spend and

561
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: we said, we've got two seventy to the builder and

562
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: he's just gone obviously within fourteen Yeah for two seventy, Yeah,

563
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: that's exactly what he said. Yeah, so within a week,

564
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: within a week or two, the majority of all our

565
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: money we.

566
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: Transerred him every him without without a contract, of course,

567
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: a contract, because he was loved. He was a very

568
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 2: nice guy, very charismatic, very you just felt at home

569
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: with him. It was very trust very trustworthy.

570
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: You're serious.

571
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: He gave him from Newtown.

572
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: We didn't we never didn't have been around much builders before,

573
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: so We didn't know about the cliche of the dodgy builder,

574
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: so what do you get or nothing. Initially he didn't

575
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: build it. He wouldn't build it, didn't build anything.

576
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: Didn't touch it for the six months, and that's when

577
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: we kind of realized we're in a bit of a situation.

578
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: And one day we just decided to google his name.

579
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: We were living so we got out of our lease

580
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: and we were living it out Arnie's house, just on

581
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: the couch, sitting on the couch having a red wine.

582
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: You know, I think the builder is delayed, but it's

583
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: all good. Up, We're at Arnie's place and his name

584
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 2: into Google and then boom, what happened? Crime Net, Supreme Court,

585
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: Queen's then one of the biggest stories queen frauds to

586
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: serious crime syndicate this that Yeah, so that was that

587
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: was like big slap in the face, big wake up call.

588
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were shadowed. We were just like, Wow, what

589
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 3: do we do now?

590
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: Harry my money back?

591
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happened? Spoke to a lawyer. Of course, he goes,

592
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: what about the contract and whatnot? There isn't one of those.

593
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: And then that he's basically like he's had twenty businesses

594
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: before they've all liquidated. If you fight him in court,

595
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: he's probably just going to liquidate before you can get

596
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: anything back, so that it's gone to go back to Sydney.

597
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 2: You lost your savings since you were sixteen, that's it.

598
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: We were basically we were basically like fuck that, no

599
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: way we're going back to Sydney empty hand.

600
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: So that wasn't an option for us.

601
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what did you do?

602
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: Well, just had to take matters into our own hands.

603
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: Did you get some money back?

604
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: We've got everything, We've got everything, but we've got everything.

605
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: We just had to play hardball and and just we.

606
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: Just let him know like we were the ones to

607
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: play with.

608
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: So you're confront him, did you go and go oh yeah, yeah.

609
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. We felt like it was like, I mean, maybe

610
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 3: looking back on things, it.

611
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: Was we wouldn't be sitting here if we if we'd left,

612
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: you know.

613
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: We just felt we just felt like it was like

614
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: a life and death situation. We thought like we had

615
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: to get like I knew it was my brother's like

616
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: over ten years of savings working in pizzeries. It was

617
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: also all the savings that I had, and we're just

618
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: like if we if somehow we don't get out of

619
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: this like with with all our with our belongings, or

620
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: like without with our money, or at least with the truck.

621
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: Even if he didn't build the truck, if you just

622
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: returned what we'd given to him, we just wanted to

623
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: get our property.

624
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 3: Back if we thought it would be the end of us.

625
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: So that's why we really.

626
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Just like we're basically stole from me.

627
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

628
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we be rocking up and his as soon

629
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: as our cars pulling up in the car park, we

630
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: see the back window of the warehouse going down, so

631
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: he's just jumped out a window. And then we start

632
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: hearing all these crazy stories about like a jet ski

633
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 2: getaways on Brisbane River, that all these people had been

634
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: looking for him, he was he could, they couldn't catch him.

635
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 3: So he hit a point until we didn't really contact anyone.

636
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: No family, we kept, our friends knew about it. And

637
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: then I called up somebody that I knew back in

638
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: Sydney that I used to work for, and just that

639
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: was the second bombshell here. Yeah, he's a bit older

640
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: than me, or quite significantly older about me, and like

641
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: I kind of looked up it up to him as

642
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: like kind of like a second dad. And he gave

643
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 3: me like one of my first jobs. And I called

644
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: him up and I explained him the situation we're in.

645
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 3: He asked me, what's the guy's name. When I told

646
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: him the guy's name, he just said, you've fucked up.

647
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: You've just walked in and given money to probably the

648
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: last person in Queensland that you'd want to. And we

649
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 3: couldn't believe that he knew his name. Couldn't believe he knew.

650
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: And when he goes, everyone knows him. People were a

651
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: country know he's done over everyone. He's gotten away.

652
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: He's got mills, and heople's facing ten years for something,

653
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: but somehow he got off in a technicality or something.

654
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: But he's known.

655
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: And then we start going around to the markets and

656
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: asking him. She didn't we didn't do due diligence, started

657
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: asking these other people who were vending, and that was

658
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, you'd be careful if you build

659
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: with him, if he builds anything.

660
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: He's already robbed some and so he's robbed that person.

661
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: All these stories started about all these other families and

662
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: all these other people that he's that he's robbed. And

663
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 2: so we're sitting at Arnie's place and now, and he goes, look,

664
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: you guys can't stay here for much longer, and we

665
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: don't have him money.

666
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: We broke And then.

667
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: But can you just give me a hint how you

668
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: confront him? How do you get it?

669
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: We basically just a bit of an altimatum.

670
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: We basically just just looked at him and just said

671
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: to him, it's you r us like kind of in

672
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: that kind of way to be honest. And then and

673
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: he was just probably at the time, maybe he just

674
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: thought it wasn't even worth it. Maybe he had so

675
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: many things going on at the time making heaps some money.

676
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: It's just like we started sucking up his new customers,

677
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: like he was trying to do the story with someone else,

678
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: and we'd show up unannounced, unattended, uninvited, and we'd walk

679
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: in and throw him off with his new customer by

680
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: start by saying things or whatnot, verbling. Yeah, I was

681
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: doing the verbaling stuff that I.

682
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 3: Think basically we became trouble to him, and he was

683
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: just like, you know what, build their truck, give it

684
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: to them, get him out of here. Don't want to happen.

685
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: He did, he build it, He did build it.

686
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: He did it was actually a builder, Oh yeah, and

687
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: he did a really good job. Threw an extra, extra TVs,

688
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: extra everything.

689
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: Probably saw them anyway.

690
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: I think you just wanted us to be happy, and

691
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: we were told the two things, this guy is going

692
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: to be afraid of his cops and physical physical confrontation,

693
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: like a confrontation.

694
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Bash yeah sort of.

695
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I didn't get it exactly.

696
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: So so you ended up with the truck, yeah, probably

697
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: caution sounds still like a lot of money.

698
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: It ended up being around like two hundred grand.

699
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: The whole truck, including the buying everything.

700
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Chazzy and the whole building. The film happened,

701
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: Italian ovens and everything.

702
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: So he pissed him off. You got all this stuff.

703
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: So we got it. And then we suddenly had this

704
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: truck that we couldn't park anywhere. It was huge, built,

705
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: it too big, eight meters long. We didn't plan where

706
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: we were going to sell pizzas. We couldn't fit into

707
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: any house for private catering. Caravan it was eight times Yeah,

708
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: it's like a caravan. So then we decided to go

709
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: and live at a caravan park because we didn't have

710
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: a choice.

711
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: We didn't know where it didn't have anywhere else to park.

712
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: We also didn't have any money.

713
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were broke, just with this big, sparkling, beautiful

714
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: new pizza truck jeans Land.

715
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: So we slept in it on numerous occasions, like in

716
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: the body of it, like we opened up the body.

717
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: He was on the upper level when I was on

718
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: the lower levelp sleeping bags. We converted a storage box

719
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: into a house for eighty dollars a week, so we

720
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: put a bed in there. It didn't have obviously a

721
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: shower or anything. It was just a National storage box

722
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: and it had a mattress at the front, so if

723
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: you opened it up, it just looked like storage and

724
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: then you went inside there was a little house in there.

725
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: So we'd parked the truck up against the front of

726
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: the garage so we'd be hidden, and then we'd just

727
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: flip a mattress in there and just sleep in there.

728
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: In between there and a caravan parked to cost us

729
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: what seventy bucks a week.

730
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we had the eighty dollar storage box and

731
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: the seventy dollars caravan. It was the worst caravan in

732
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: the park up in sunny coast water hot no bathroom

733
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: and so we're going in between the storage box the

734
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: caravan and showering at fitness first or showering at the

735
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: truck stop vps, sleeping next to the truckers. Some truckers

736
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: were coming down to Sydney and coming back and we're

737
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: still there and they're like, boys, you're still here, and

738
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: we're like, we live here. We lit at the service station,

739
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: like a meat pie and a.

740
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: Chocolate milk was dinner. And yeah, we were like homeless.

741
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: When you start selling pizzas out of the pizza truck.

742
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: We have a caravan park.

743
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: We tried, why didn't we We tried to, but no

744
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: one had any money in the caravan.

745
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: Everyone in the caravan park. It was at least it

746
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: was for whatever reason, it was a pretty like yeah

747
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: there a Rundown Sunshine Coast.

748
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't one of those ones we're all the wealthy

749
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: people now.

750
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 3: It was one of the ones where it was one

751
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: of the ones where we had to stay stay at

752
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 3: like sleep with one eye open.

753
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: So when did you start to actually make a dollar,

754
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: start to sell your weares?

755
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean like we started to do festivals and small

756
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: events in Queensland here and there. Like sometimes we would

757
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: go like a week or two without work, and then

758
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: sometimes we'd get like three days of work on a weekend.

759
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: And then it was like a hit and miss.

760
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: Like make a bit of money in one day like

761
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: sun Corp. You two make ten grand or something and

762
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: then run at a loss for ages.

763
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: So it ended up evening out to basically we won't

764
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: really making it.

765
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: Can even go to the Sunday Farmer's market trying to

766
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: sell pineapple pizzas we rained, couldn't sell anything.

767
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: It ended up basically like we were there for nine

768
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: months and we didn't really make any money, and then

769
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: COVID happened and all the festivals and everything stopped, and

770
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: we had this truck. We still had no money and

771
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: then yeah, that's when we had to come back to Sydney.

772
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: Had to sell my gold necklace for flour and cheese.

773
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Or do you do with the truck that you sold it?

774
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: We've still got it got a sentimental value. We can't

775
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: let Everyone told us like, oh you broke, like get

776
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 3: rid of the truck tree even if you just get

777
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: hard off for a hundred or get rid of it.

778
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: But we never wanted to sell it, like we can't.

779
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: We're going to say if you still got all buy

780
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: it cool.

00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 3: It's got vines growing all over, it's a bit of band.

00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: We've still got it. It's still it's still in a

00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: no pizza truck in the country that looks like it.

786
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: But that's why we held onto it, because we truly

787
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: believed that like Pizza Bros. Wasn't over and for sure

788
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: one day we might be able to do something. And

789
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: even if we just sold it for one hundred grand,

790
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: like what's that fifty grand each? What are we going

791
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: to do with that? So we just knew, we just

792
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: we just we just held onto it.

793
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: So how do you how did you hold onto your dream?

794
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: Then? Well, we came back to Sydney once COVID happened,

795
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 3: all the festivals and everything was over. We came back

796
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: to Sydney and we were in the lockdown back and living

797
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: back in because we're originally we're living in Chinatown before

798
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: we went to Brisbane. We went back to Chinatown. We're

799
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: back in the same spot years later, yeah, two three

800
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: years later, at zero no money in the bank, truck

801
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 3: ye had a truck that we actually left up in Brisbane.

802
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: Someone let us just park it up in Brisbane. We

803
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: couldn't we couldn't afford to pay for storage or whatever

804
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: of storage. We just kind of like left it in

805
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: the yard in Brisbane for like three three four years.

806
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: And we came back and we got we got a

807
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: we got a lease in the city and we were

808
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: just sitting and sitting on our couch like when we

809
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: straightway we got back and thinking what are we going

810
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: to do, Like we're at zero, and that's when we

811
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: just both look at we always do, go back to

812
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: eighty hours, go back sixty hours. It was. It was

813
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: hard though, going back to work for other people when

814
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 3: we thought that we had this idea and we thought

815
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 3: that we had this plan that was going to just

816
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: blow us up, and everyone told us we're crazy like Pepperoni, McFly,

817
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: pizza truck villain, superheroes, it'll be mad. In that case,

818
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: no one believed us could work in a way we were.

819
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: But if you if you're not that crazy enough about

820
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 3: passion and dream, it's never going to That's a.

821
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Good point, by the way, you're so passionate about the

822
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: whole thing, so passionate and so enthusiastic about your dream.

823
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: That's what kept your alife because because you were mad

824
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: enough to believe in this stuff exactly. Yeah, because if

825
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 1: it was a little more, a little less crazy, maybe

826
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more mainstream, you might not have stayed

827
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: stuck with it. I'm out of it.

828
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: Mainstream was definitely, Yeah, the opposite of what we were doing.

829
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 3: We're always like being out Like everything we've always done

830
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: is always a bit out of the box and a.

831
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: B Yeah, you're both out there, aren't you.

832
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Maybe?

833
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: Or do you think you are? I mean you're not.

834
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: You don't think I think, I think. I think for

835
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: them now, you're probably not.

836
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: I think for for for Ousi's or people like in

837
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: this in this country, our age group, they would they

838
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: would definitely think we're out there like the majority. But

839
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: I mean inner city Sydney is a bit different like people.

840
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 3: People do understand it. People are a bit different stuff.

841
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: But I think on a on a broad picture like

842
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 3: the whole country. Yeah, like they looked at us, these

843
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 3: guys are cooking the book, their bonkers.

844
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a brand. Yeah, So how do you go

845
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: and start working with somebody?

846
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: Then what weg off on your own again, we're we're

847
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: very hard on ourselves, beating ourselves up about the whole thing.

848
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: But for us to have to start our business.

849
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: Coming off that experience with the builder, it definitely we

850
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: didn't start very like positive.

851
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: We weren't like the way I know how to say it,

852
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 3: we were It.

853
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 2: Was the wrong way to kick off a business having

854
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 2: to go through that ordeal first, especially as young people.

855
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: But what we later learned is that whole experience of

856
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: dealing with that builder and that whole period of time

857
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 3: that actually, yeah, that actually if that now I look back,

858
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: if that didn't happen, we wouldn't have succeeded this second

859
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: time at Pizza Bros. And he taught us.

860
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: He taught us a very important lesson that builder.

861
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: What did he teach you?

862
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 3: Heaps of stuff taught us heaps of stuff.

863
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: Really, do your homework, do you due diligence, do your

864
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: background checks? Yeah, you know who you're dealing with, Like

865
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe get a contract, have things in writing, know the price,

866
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: like do comparative prices, like am I paying too much?

867
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: Or am I getting a steal?

868
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: Also just reading people as well, Like that's what he

869
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 3: That's what he taught us as well, like just being

870
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 3: able to read.

871
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: People, maybe not trust people straight up exactly.

872
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

873
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't want to be one of those

874
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: people doesn't trust everything, because that's equally bad that can

875
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: work against you.

876
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

877
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe you just don't automatically trust someone until

878
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: maybe they perform a little bit exactly, see something that

879
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: they're doing as positive. Yeah, just because it seemed nice exactly,

880
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, Like, so I want to get to important

881
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: stuff now that you know what you're doing now to

882
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: take me through it, like, you know, how are you

883
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: guys operating? Like how's your customer base? You know, how's revenue?

884
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: You know?

885
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: What are you doing for a social talk about you?

886
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: I want you talk about social media too. So where

887
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: are you at right now? I know it was hard

888
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: rekicking off.

889
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: But just to backtrack a little bit, like we're back

890
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: in Sydney twenty twenty, COVID at zero and we started

891
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: working eighty ninety hours a week to like different pizzerias though,

892
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 3: like we both get a full time salary and then

893
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: on our days off, both days off, like if we

894
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: were doing five days a week for the salary, both

895
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 3: days off go get other cash shifts somewhere or whatever

896
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: and just do extra shifts and then we put all

897
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: our money together again like we originally did before we

898
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 3: went to Queensland.

899
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: So there's something worth repeating.

900
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: It worked. Yeah, we put out exactly because we knew.

901
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 3: We knew that we could repeat what we did last time.

902
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: We're not gonna Then the oven blew up and we

903
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 3: were put on unpaid leave. We stood down, put on

904
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 3: unpaid leave.

905
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: Because the place we were employed.

906
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the places where we're placing Surrey Hill

907
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: was the wood fire up and combusted and Marty had

908
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: to put it out one phone to the fieries and

909
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: extinguisher and then they were like, oh, look you know

910
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: the pizzeri's burnt down. You you're an unpaid leave. You

911
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: stood down. So we were back in Sydney again, now

912
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: with maybe a little bit of savings from the hours

913
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: we've been doing, but without a job.

914
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: But you're both skilled, so they'd be then it was.

915
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: It was the COVID lockdown at the time, and some job.

916
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 2: A lot of restaurants weren't over pizza takeaway pizzerias were closed.

917
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 3: Some we kind of always though I had a bit

918
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: of a chip on our shoulder where it was like

919
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: we still weren't doesn It didn't matter how much a

920
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: salary we could get or how much we're getting paid

921
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: per hour. We never satisfied. Wasn't pizza. We were just

922
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: like happy, We're just like we knew we could be

923
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 3: doing this like times ten times twenty, Like we knew

924
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 3: that we could be doing this for ourselves. We knew

925
00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 3: it was possible.

926
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: The owner of the place' even know our names.

927
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 3: We were just the pizza guys. We were irrelevant.

928
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what happened?

929
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: So we actually were offered opportunity at a brewery in

930
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: Marrickville that they were interested in getting into the pizza game.

931
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: They'd already kind of conquered the beer game and they

932
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: wanted to get into pizzas. And so we had sent

933
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: somehow through Instagram or something. We'd been chatting about pizzas,

934
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: and we were offered to set up a pop up

935
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 2: Wednesday Thursday nights because their food vendor would only run Friday,

936
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 2: Saturday Sunday. So they thought, why don't we just give

937
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: you The manager at the time said, why don't we

938
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: give you Wednesday Thursday? Set your ovens up. We were

939
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: sponsored by Gosney, which is a portable.

Speaker 2: much longevity here in Marrickville, that we were going to

1017
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: be basically shut down before we knew it, so we

1018
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 2: wanted to get out of there as soon.

1019
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 3: As we could. The owners of the brewery kind of

1020
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 3: gave us an ultimatum. Either you shut up shop and

1021
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 3: packed down Pizza Bros. Or stay here but switches over

1022

Speaker 3: to our name with your recipe to their name. Yeah, yeah,

1023
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: but the same pizza, the same pizzas. Switches over, switch

1024
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: switches over to their name with our recipes, our pizzas

1025
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: forget it, whatnot. And then basically the day they sat

1026
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: us down, seven days prior, we got contacted by the

1027
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,640

1030
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 3: up in Newtown, Like we used to run around these

1031
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 3: streets as kids. Oh yeah, like like Joe was kicked

1032
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: out of the school two hundred meters up the road,

1033
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 3: and we're just like, it's a mad opportunity. It's a rooftop. Yeah,

1034
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 3: iconic hotel. The hotel stands for heaps of stuff that

1035
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 3: we believe in, and it's just like we're just like

1036
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: this is mad, Like we've we've we've got to we've

1037
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: we've got to take this opportunity and blow up the rooftop,

1038
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: make it, make it busy, because we were going into

1039
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: a pretty pretty quiet space like it had been closed

1040
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 3: previously by previous owners before and it was it was

1041
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: was pretty quiet. It wasn't wasn't doing well. And then

1042
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 3: we were just part of.

1043
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 2: The newly bort revamp and it was like, yeah, I've

1044
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: got this big challenge. You know, how do we make

1045
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 2: this rooftop busy so it's not the rooftop we're on

1046
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 2: the rooftop. Yeah, pizza ovens on the rooftop.

1047
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: That's cool.

1048
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: And it took about three months. We first went in there,

1049
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: and it was it was pretty dead, like it was dead,

1050
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 3: like we were doing very low revenue, were in there

1051
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 3: seven days a week, we had no staff.

1052
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: We're using social social.

00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone that had any bloggers, pages, anything we could

00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 3: a week for at least the first three four months

1058
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 3: until suddenly it just blew up, like we still had

1059
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 3: no staff and there was like tickets every year. It

1060
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: just started within a seven day period. It went from

1061
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 3: dead to like we were selling like over a thousand

1062
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: pizzas a week, and well we're.

1069
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,320

1070
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 3: like haven't even had a bad week.

1071
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: And you're still saving it and you still living meagerly

1072
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: and save a lot of money. Yeah, So do you

1073
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,000

00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: it's a mad dream in it. Yeah, how do you

1080
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: feel about it?

1081
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the amount of the amount of

1082
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: hours and how much we've worked over the last couple

1083
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 3: of years or even three, four or five years, even

1084
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 3: back when we're working for other people, we haven't really

1085
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: had much time off to let things settle in and

1086
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: actually realize what we've done, like, because you know when

1087
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 3: every day can reflect really when you wake up and

1088
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: you're trying to get it every day and you're doing

1089
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: massive long days, like we're on the wood fire oven.

1090
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 3: We haven't. There hasn't been one pizza sold from Pizza Bros.

1091
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,440

00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: cooked it stretched.

1094
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: No one makes out you've done a hundred thousand pieces.

1095
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, one hundred thousand, hundred weeks or it depends,

1096
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: but like maybe not in this local I don't know.

1097
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: Thousand thousand pieces a week day, it's.

1098
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: More than more than a thousand pieces a week now

1099
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 3: hundred or.

1100
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 1: Well that's only a hundred weeks. That's two years. Probably

1101
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: something like that was given you working every week.

1102
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: And I've never done the mass. We never costed one

1103
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 3: of the pizzas.

1104
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: We don'tzza.

1105
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what they cost to flip them out.

1106
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: Do you mind telling me what?

1107
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: What?

1108
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: What are your favorite pizzas?

1109
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: Anything with chili, our pizza, pretty our pizzas are pretty unconventional,

1110
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 3: like they're not they're not the traditional Italian Yeah, we've

1111
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 3: We've done like all kind of crazy topics.

1112
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: Give me some examples, like a chi chili bass.

1113
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 3: With prawns, and like truffle pizzas and hot like honey pieces.

1114
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: Like the new one's a wagyu steak pizza. Just different

1115
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: bit of Twitter. Some of the Italians don't agree. Very

1116
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: big Asian we're doing. Done a few podcasts themselves about us.

1117
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 3: Pizza.

1118
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: That's good though, that they're talking about that's good. Yeah,

1119
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: that's a good thing.

1120
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 3: Make an impact, big Asian influence on pizzas. And probably

1121
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 3: that goes back to a little bit like the fact

1122
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 3: that we spent so much time in Thailand and we

1123
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: like tay Cusins had a big impact on it.

1124
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Is there a tired tasting that we've got one on

1125
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: we we've got.

1126
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 3: One like like klinmbed of like it is quite hot

1127
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 3: for like someone that can't eat, they wouldn't be able

1128
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 3: to eat it. But like I think our tolerance is

1129
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 3: so high, like we can eat chi palates.

1130
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 2: Changed from living in Bangkok. Really, Oh yeah, we're all

1131
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: out of whack now. It has to be so tasty

1132
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 2: otherwise it's not tasting.

1133
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 3: And I think that's definitely had an effect on the

1134
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: taste about pizzas because people are eating them, Like I've

1135
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 3: never had a pizza like this before. What does the

1136
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 3: taste like that?

1137
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: And what sort of crust you you guys have, It's

1138
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: called leopard crust.

1139
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 3: I'm going to show you that. It's on the back

1140
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 3: of the shirt. Yeah around, Yeah, the pizza tato it's

1141
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 3: called Leopard.

1142
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: Crafts and it's it's a pizza Pizza Tana but which

1143
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 2: is the original eighteen hundreds in Naples, the original pizza,

1144
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 2: but with a twist. So we put extra virgin olive

1145
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: oil in the dough, which is not If you do that,

1146
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: you're not a VPN certified.

1147
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: We've tweaked it.

1148
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: I do.

1149
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: I am aware that there is a certification for from

1150
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: some organization in it.

1151
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 3: That's fair, that's a VPM.

1152
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.

1153
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 3: Back in the days in Sydney, like early two thousands,

1154
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: they were all the top joints in Sydney.

1155
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: There's only five six people got this sort of accreditation

1156
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: with this ward or this license whatever they call it.

1157
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 3: A couple of our mates got it, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1158
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 3: proud of it.

1159
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, there's a few Melbourne. I got it to Melbourne,

1160
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: so that Grazzi or whatever the com Okay, it doesn't

1161
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: really matter. It's another sort of Italian joint down there.

1162
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: But I sort of remember this. You've got to make

1163
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: it a certain way.

1164
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: Yes, to even stretch it a certain way. Even if

1165
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 2: you make the dough and it's certified, if you then

1166
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 2: stretch it in the wrong method, then you're out. You're disqualified.

1167
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: They stand, they're watching it. If they're trying to give

1168
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: you the.

1169
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would. If you go on for a trial

1170
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 3: and trying to get a job at one of these places,

1171
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 3: they wat change stretch you Italian guy in a vest

1172
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 3: or something that. You know what, It doesn't matter how

1173
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 3: well how good you are, how well you stretch it,

1174
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: they'll still be like, ah, I wasn't a right.

1175
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 2: If we're not Italian. So even if you're like Ozsi

1176
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 2: but Italian heritage, you might be all right. But if

1177
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: you're Italian Italian, you're definitely that's good. But if you're

1178
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: Aussie's with pizza tatooed on your arm and red.

1179
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: How do you reckon? How do you rate your pizzas?

1180
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been around pizza game for a long time.

1181
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: How do you rate your pizzas relative too, in terms

1182
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,720
Speaker 1: of like you know, I don't know, like a relative

1183
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: to say, some of the best time pizza makers even

1184
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: in the world. You probably tasted various pizza around the joint.

1185
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: How do you rate yourself?

1186
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: We love eating other people's pizzas because we get to

1187
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 2: eat our pizzas all the time. But yeah, I think

1188
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: we're pretty proud of what we've created.

1189
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 3: I think it also does come down like personal preference,

1190
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: like some people just like different styles, Like some people

1191
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: like crispy pizzas, some people like it soft. Like That's

1192
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 3: why the whole debate will never end. Because someone likes

1193
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: it soft, someone likes it crispy. Yeah, it's just pizza

1194
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 3: and a different styles I think. I'm yeah, we're pretty

1195
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 3: proud of our product. The fact that it doesn't exist

1196
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 3: anywhere else. It's very unique. There's no pizza like it,

1197
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 3: like in the country really because it is, especially with

1198
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: the toppings and stuff we do. So yeah, it's good

1199
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: to be the only one.

1200
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: So turn on top of the hotel with the Imperial

1201
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: at you'll be cooking upper storm. Like you've got the

1202
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: pizza oven thing going, is it like, is it gas

1203
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: or wood?

1204
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 3: Would? Yeah, probably probably we're going to turn them more's Yeah, it's.

1205
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: A paint the ass. I mean I actually during COVID,

1206
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: like I don't know how I got talked to, but

1207
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: I built. I've got a guy to come building a

1208
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: pizza up like bricks and in the back of the

1209
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: and I've only used it once but twice. But I

1210
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't really had to get it's wood pizza right, so

1211
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: I had to get up to a certain temperature.

1212
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: You can preheat it.

1213
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: It takes so long. I mean, you would only do

1214
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: it if you're sort of going to cook a hundred

1215
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: pizzas twenty usially a couple of hours.

1216
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 3: You needed at least to get the oven at the

1217
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 3: right time and.

1218
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: It's actually hard work, Like you've got to be really attendive.

1219
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: That's why I quite like the what's that? Whether's the dome?

1220
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: I got a done on my farm, but I got

1221
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: the other guys near the smaller one that roo rock boxy. Yeah,

1222
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: I've got one of those, but I don't put the

1223
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: wood in and put the gas on the back. It's

1224
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: really good that.

1225
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 3: That's how pizza Bros. At the Brewery started.

1226
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: It was rock box That's what I bought one, and

1227
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: then he came on a show and he gave me

1228
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: one of the bigger ones and long time. But that's

1229
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: it my farm. I have never used it, actually, but

1230
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: I love the rock box I've got. I've got rock

1231
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: box at the farm too. But the big pizza we're

1232
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna put the wooden. It's like a mission. Like it's

1233
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: a dead set mission, Lea. So you'll be doing that

1234
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: like the time you kick it off.

1235
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean like, yeah, we'll be starting a bit late today.

1236
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: But I forgot to get the key off him last night,

1237
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 2: so we want to turn that. I'm supposed to preheat

1238
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: it before we came to The album's not on, but

1239
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 2: we'll just go on blasts, all right, we've got.

1240
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: And then all the preparation all they like. I don't

1241
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: make the I go and buy something that's already made.

1242
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: I do the topics, but I don't don't think do

1243
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: the other thing. But I quite like my pizza that

1244
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what. Because cook myself often I feel

1245
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: like I've achieved something like proud of It sounds a

1246
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: bit silly, but it sounds a little little bit juvenaled.

1247
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: But I actually quite like my own pizza when I

1248
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: bring it out, like I think that's pretty good. That's

1249
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: about money and things.

1250
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 3: I cook a lot of people now they cook.

1251
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: I haven't got sick of it fifteen years. I love

1252
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: making pizzas.

1253
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: Why do you guys love making pizzas? Tell me why?

1254
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: Apart from it, I don't know anything.

1255
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: I don't know anything else anything I know and you

1256
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 2: know you do well.

1257
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: The only thing I do well. It's just stretching circles

1258
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 3: and cooking them properly.

1259
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: But why do you love me? To love me because

1260
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: of people who buy from you enjoy it? Or is

1261
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: it because it's creative and or it's your own business.

1262
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: Or it's a creative outlet. I guess like like our

1263
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: margarita We don't do a red like a normal spoon sauce.

1264
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 3: We do splash it. So we're trying to be artists.

1265
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: It is creative, but every every pizza we make is

1266
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 3: our own creation. Yeah, I guess, yeah, it is that much.

1267
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, pizza only even in Italy, it's just a

1268
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: way of life. Like they go to the pizza, ea,

1269
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 2: they get espresso, the cigarette. It's just yeah, it's a lifestyle,

1270
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, and not many people would want to

1271
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 2: do it though, for like that many hours in whole

1272
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 2: hundred and forty degree oven, standing up for twelve hours

1273
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: the next day, twelve hours the wood.

1274
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 3: It's not like such smoke. Yeah, sometimes I go home

1275
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 3: and like I'm cooked from the other Some of the

1276
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 3: jobs we had before prior the chimneys weren't fitted properly.

1277
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: Go home, I touched my nose a black soot. It's

1278
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 3: like it's an undesirable team to want to do. It's

1279
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 3: full hard YAKA. Like I said, it's not easy. Yeah, yeah,

1280
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 3: people think it is, and that's why so many people

1281
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 3: have opened pizza places that have never worked, because they

1282
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 3: weren't pizza chefs themselves, and they just thought that they

1283
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 3: could do.

1284
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 2: There was a wave in the Lockdown of people making

1285
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: pizzas at home going on that.

1286
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: Well that's me. I got the rock Boston of the period.

1287
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And that's when pizza making became cool internationally.

1288
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 2: Prior to that, we were considered maybe less than a chef,

1289
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 2: a pizziolo or a pizziola. But in the COVID Lockdown,

1290
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 2: with the help of Gosney, it kind of became this

1291
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: trend all around the world. Hey, pizzas cool.

1292
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: He guys cool, the guy, he is a cool dude.

1293
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: You met Tom Yeah, he sat right there, true, yeah him,

1294
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: Yet we spoken to him. He came to Australia and

1295
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to come to the show, so he sat

1296
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: right there like, yeah, he's cool.

1297
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 3: He's a good good story too. Yeah.

1298
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable. And it's interesting that you go start off

1299
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: with that. And so where to from here though, it's.

1300
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 3: A good question. That's that's top secret.

1304
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: pretty serious about equality. A few topics that might be

1305
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 2: like in a mainstream Australia might be a bit touchy

1306
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 2: to some people. People have their own opinions on it.

1307
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 3: We we also we do do make content stuff that

1308
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 3: have nothing to do with the pizza. Yeah, nothing to

1309
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 3: do with it. And that's what you know. I'm sure

1310
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 3: there's people out there that are just like, oh, why

Speaker 1: You guys are doing the same thing. And what's great

1434
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: about this story is how you never fucking gave up.

1435
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: And what's really good about it, and it resonates with

1436
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: me in particular, is that two brothers just kept backing

1437
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: each other, that that brotherly link is so strong like.

1438
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 3: Old school that it wasn't that the way it used

1439
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 3: to be, like old clack in the day brothers would

1440
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: go there, brother.

1441
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: My brother and I still the same. And I'm nearly seventy.

1442
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: So my brother and I were still in business together.

1443
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: And he left UNI at twenty four, if you need it,

1444
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: same age, but I'm five years older than him. We've

1445
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: been in business ever since he left UNI, ever since,

1446
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: so that's forty odd years.

1447
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 3: Well, and we're also going to trust.

1448
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: But your brother maybe the best. And by the way,

1449
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: we fucking argue all the time. You can argue, but

1450
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: you said brother you always no matter what, ain't no

1451
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 1: worries whatever, get on with it. And such a good

1452
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,000
