00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,639

Speaker 1: How was that?

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 4: I mean it was we played very small venues and

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: we weren't entirely welcome at all of them.

65
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,280

00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: at a gig in Las Vegas.

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: What you need to do.

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: You need to move to the countryside. You need to

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: spend more time on Wikipedia, because that's terrible.

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Because everyone's described everyone who's sort of doing the country

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: thing at the moment. There was a term that's been

75
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: thrown around a lot for us here in Australia. It's

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: called country curious, where we're sort of not sure where

77
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: we're at with it, but there's a lot getting around.

78
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: So we're just exploring.

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: Where I live in the countryside in England. We've been

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: there for a long time. But there's a bunch of

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: people that came down during COVID and then we're like,

82
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: oh no, no, we need really yes, they call it

83
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: COVID regret Oho.

84
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: House in Covid in the countryside, and then went.

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Like oh no, oh no, that didn't happen here because

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: everybody moved to the country and they haven't come back,

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: which is lovely, yeah, which I thought would be the

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: way forward.

89
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: But I do love Sydney. I do love. Yeah.

90
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: It a fantastic restaurant last night. Oh it's a place

91
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: I think it was called Mister Wongs. Oh yeah, I

92
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: had the steak. It was absolutely the picking. Bought some

93
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: Wagoo semen from Australia. Actually, what's that Once I bought

94
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: some wagoo semen. What you do in the UK didn't

95
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: really work. You've got finished off grain and we don't

96
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: finish on grain. We finish on grass.

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: That's right.

98
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: You've got kettle cattle wagon need like absolutely plying with grain,

99
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 4: which which I don't want to do.

100
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: So you can't do grass fed wagon.

101
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: There's like two people.

102
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 4: That do it and I don't fully believe it because

103
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: it's pasture fed, which means basically they use their own grain.

104
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: All that's not again, Yeah, grass, can.

105
