It almost 28 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 3: looked like, I don't know, Oktoberfest or something. And they'd 29 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: all white picket fence, temporary fences and they'd set up 30 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: outside so you could just go to your friends at 31 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: the Beverly Hill Beverly Hills Council there and say bring 32 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: out the picket mate. 33 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: So listen. 34 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 4: I was talking to the boys back in Australia and 35 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: I've got an idea for you.

But yeah, when 68 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 4: you say that you've filled it full of you know, 69 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 4: stewed onions and beef.
