Speaker 2: country an elder's past and present.
Speaker 1: Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. Well, well, well
Speaker 1: here we go. This is my last ever Scrollers record.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Britney's last ever Scrollers record.
Speaker 1: New title, I'm Leaving Scrollers. Brittany is leaving Scrollers.
Speaker 2: Britney is leaving High Scrollers. Do you reckon? I reckon?
Speaker 1: Everyone will be like, oh, that's sad, but oh well,
Speaker 1: we'll still keep listening.
Speaker 2: No, I reckon. People will read that title and go
Speaker 2: the fuck she is, as if no one's gonna believe.
Speaker 3: Well, this is officially my last Scrollers record for two weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and thankfully you know, remember when I went to
Speaker 2: Europe last year, Brittany had some fill ins on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Well who did we have?
Speaker 2: We had Mitch, we had our competition winner and dedicated lifestyle.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: And this year we only have two weeks, so no
Speaker 2: Scrollers will be joining me. I've lined up two of
Speaker 2: my friends from the industry to come in, and I'm
Speaker 2: very excited about both of them because the one guest
Speaker 2: is well, they've already been on Big Business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a big Business's been.
Speaker 2: In the game for a very long time, done a
Speaker 2: lot and done a lot, but I don't think we've
Speaker 2: ever done anything together. But we're good friends and we've
Speaker 2: spoken so much over the years, and I really am
Speaker 2: excited to get him on.
Speaker 1: And we'll give you a clue his brain a mini.
Speaker 2: Mini oh good clue. I don't know what that even means.
Speaker 2: I think I can guess, but I will try not
Speaker 2: to because it's up to you to guess. But the
Speaker 2: second guess, she is someone fabulous who again is a
Speaker 2: really good friend of mine, and I'm also excited to
Speaker 2: have her on the podcast. She's currently it's too much
Speaker 2: of a clue, hmm, a clue I might be able
Speaker 2: to help.
Speaker 4: Think of one of the most well known content creators
Speaker 4: in Australia right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, probably the biggest.
Speaker 3: And I want to say, not not who you think
Speaker 3: I reckon.
Speaker 1: People will hear that.
Speaker 4: And maybe very very influencer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't go that angle, go somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Go somewhere else.
Speaker 4: Yeah, think more spread across the entire media landscape, not
Speaker 4: just influencing.
Speaker 1: And leave it at that, because if we say anything more,
Speaker 1: then it's going to give.
Speaker 4: It away and also jump in the scroller's chat or
Speaker 4: put a little like thing there, and we want to
Speaker 4: see all your guesses.
Speaker 2: Guess who they are?
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you can guess the two, I'll give you
Speaker 3: a five percent off fate.
Speaker 1: Maybe ten.
Speaker 3: But yes, this is my last ever scrollers record for
Speaker 3: two weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm having two weeks off.
Speaker 3: The pod and right now I am somewhere in ib No,
Speaker 3: I'm on a boat.
Speaker 2: I'm on a boat and can't wait for you to
Speaker 2: make yet another TikTok to that song.
Speaker 3: Surely I should. I might do the whole song this time.
Speaker 3: Oh you know I know that whole song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I know that entire song Lonely Island. I'm on
Speaker 3: a boat. I know every word. And you want to
Speaker 3: know what's really funny. I was listening to it the
Speaker 3: other day, like getting in the mood for it. There's
Speaker 3: one line and he goes, hey, ma, if you could
Speaker 3: see me now?
Speaker 2: Well, as you go across the seven Seas? Yeah too?
Speaker 1: Is that your new favorite thing? To say? The seven seas?
Speaker 2: But as you travel across the seven seeds, I thought
Speaker 2: before you go, we should you know, pay homage to
Speaker 2: your homeland of Australia, Because I saw a TikTok the
Speaker 2: other day and I thought, before you go, let's discuss
Speaker 2: some of the unwritten rules of Australia.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So I saw this TikTok from the Advocate. She said, okay,
Speaker 2: Ossie's what are the unwritten rules of Australia? Not slang,
Speaker 2: not veggimar, not watch out for spiders. I mean the
Speaker 2: things that every Australian just knows but nobody ever thinks
Speaker 2: to explain.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So I've got some comments as exam as examples, exam pills,
Speaker 2: and there are some that I agree with and some
Speaker 2: that I am like, what the heck is going on?
Speaker 2: I've never heard this in my life. So one of
Speaker 2: the top comments says, if you have a trolley, fool,
Speaker 2: and the person behind you only has a couple of groceries,
Speaker 2: you let them in front of you at the register.
Speaker 2: It's like an unspoken rule of Australia, like if I've
Speaker 2: got a full trolley and you've got two things, you
Speaker 2: just go first. Though you go first.
Speaker 1: I agree with that one.
Speaker 2: You don't go to kmart with a plan. Kmart tells
Speaker 2: you what you need.
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with that one.
Speaker 2: If you're crossing the street and a car stops for you,
Speaker 2: give the.
Speaker 1: Driver away, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2: Even if it's a designated crossing.
Speaker 1: Nah, yes, I will always wave.
Speaker 2: I'm the opposite. So if you if it's a crossing
Speaker 2: that you have to stop at, yes, if you, if
Speaker 2: you stop out of your way because to me, I
Speaker 2: go if you stop to let me go, and it's
Speaker 2: not a crossing, I know that at a crossing a
Speaker 2: driver must stop. That is the rule. So I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna like say thank you for following the rules.
Speaker 1: You should always just do a little wave only because I.
Speaker 2: Feel awkward no, yeah, okay, and I feel rude.
Speaker 1: Just like not looking.
Speaker 2: So I'm always like if it's like a refuge island
Speaker 2: and there's no crossing and I just get to the
Speaker 2: middle of the refuge island and then someone slows down
Speaker 2: and goes like or even if we're in like a
Speaker 2: car park or something and they stop and they go
Speaker 2: go go okay, thank you. Of course, if I get
Speaker 2: to a pedestrian crossing, first of all, I don't even look.
Speaker 2: I go because if they hit me, that's a lawsuit
Speaker 2: with a lot of money involved, so love that. And
Speaker 2: second of all, if you've stopped for me, No, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying thank you for stopping, because all you've done
Speaker 2: is follow the rules. You've actually done what you.
Speaker 3: I get what you're saying, but I'm still I'm awkward,
Speaker 3: so I just wave. I think another sort of it's
Speaker 3: not really an unspoken thing. But like one thing that
Speaker 3: I noticed a lot is when you're at a four
Speaker 3: way stop sign, like in a suburb, like I know
Speaker 3: the general rulers give way to your right.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, but it's whoever gets to the stop
Speaker 2: sign first. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I find, especially in Newcastle, like we just say,
Speaker 3: two cars come to meet and they're on my right,
Speaker 3: so I need to give way to them. I feel
Speaker 3: like a lot of the time people just go, just go,
Speaker 3: and like they give you the right of way even
Speaker 3: though it's their turn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it, Hey, sorry, you say, what's
Speaker 2: a full ways? How do you stop? What's a four
Speaker 2: way stop? When you get to an intersection and there's
Speaker 2: a stop on everything, every single one, Why do think I've.
Speaker 3: Ever seen there's so many Newcastle it's always like give
Speaker 3: way to your right, but they'll always.
Speaker 1: Be like you go.
Speaker 2: But I think that's because that would be me, because
Speaker 2: I don't know whose fucking turn it is. So I'm
Speaker 2: just like everybody else go, I'll just wait way to
Speaker 2: your right. No, not to stop sign. If it's four
Speaker 2: way stop sign, it's whoever at any stop sign, it's
Speaker 2: whoever got their first goes first.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: I always just to give way to your right.
Speaker 2: Yes, so well, ship don't quote me, but basically, like
Speaker 2: say this street across horizontally cross across in front of you,
Speaker 2: if that's got traffic going on it, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: stop sign and you're at a stop sign over there,
Speaker 2: Like if it was give way, I would have to
Speaker 2: give way for you coming out. But if I got
Speaker 2: to the stop sign first and then you pull up,
Speaker 2: I actually go before you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it says on these it apply the give
Speaker 4: way to the right rule.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm completely wrong there.
Speaker 1: So I always give way to the right.
Speaker 2: At a stop sign, you always stop.
Speaker 1: That's not a moment I did my ls.
Speaker 2: Shit, I have been using stop sign stop, so I
Speaker 2: will go. I've been cutting people off. I have one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I'll own that I have one hundred percent
Speaker 2: been cutting people off at stop signs since the day
Speaker 2: I was born, Like I have been.
Speaker 1: Give way to your right.
Speaker 2: I always learned first to the stop is first to go.
Speaker 3: But if they're on your right, but if you're directly
Speaker 3: across from each other, then whoever gets there first.
Speaker 2: I've got four stop signs, and you're saying, give way
Speaker 2: to your right. So if I come and stop and
Speaker 2: they come and stop, I'm going I go.
Speaker 4: But I think maybe if they if they're still going.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you've got there well and truly first, I
Speaker 3: would say you still have to stop. If you're there
Speaker 3: well and truly before them, sure you go. But if
Speaker 3: you're basically getting there at the same time, it's always
Speaker 3: give way to your right.
Speaker 2: Of course I would wait if we both pull up
Speaker 2: at the same time, but if even a second before,
Speaker 2: if I'm the one who stops for even half a second.
Speaker 1: Before, I'll always signal for them to go.
Speaker 2: Ah. Wow.
Speaker 1: So you're cut people off every.
Speaker 2: Day, one hundred percent, and I'll own that and I'll
Speaker 2: probably continue to do it. And you're waving them as well.
Speaker 2: I don't say thank you. We learned that as well.
Speaker 1: God, that's so funny.
Speaker 2: Well, I am so sorry to everyone. I've ever cut
Speaker 2: off at a stop sign, but I have followed the
Speaker 2: rule that first in, first out.
Speaker 1: Another unspoken rule I'm trying to think, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you know that hip hip hooray is an Australian thing? Yes?
Speaker 2: I didn't. Didn't you When you say hip, that's just.
Speaker 3: An Australian thing? In America, they just finish it. Happy
Speaker 3: birthday to you?
Speaker 2: And did you know that Happy Birthday? The song is copyrighted?
Speaker 2: So if you listen, if you watch a movie, you
Speaker 2: actually never hear them singing happy Birthday. You just hear
Speaker 2: them going happy Birthday. Any movie ever, you will see
Speaker 2: that they never sing that song that.
Speaker 4: Always makes a weird one in movies and shows me
Speaker 4: like it's happy, happy birthday and dead and they're like,
Speaker 4: why are they singing that?
Speaker 2: And copyright Yeah? No no play, Yes, which is not
Speaker 2: a great rule. Let's unpack that, Like when you think
Speaker 2: about no hat, no play. When we were younger, it
Speaker 2: wasn't really an issue. I feel like everyone wore a
Speaker 2: hat anyway. Yeah, but isn't that good that that is
Speaker 2: a rule at our schools.
Speaker 3: I think it's great and I'll never forget. I was
Speaker 3: on the debating team in primary school and we went
Speaker 3: to another school and I think my primary school, jesmind
Speaker 3: Primary was a little bit more relaxed on the hats
Speaker 3: in the playground kind of thing, like it was kind
Speaker 3: of a rule, but like whatever. And then we went
Speaker 3: to do debating at another local school and I think
Speaker 3: we started the debating and then it was lunch and
Speaker 3: so we were coming back to do the debating and
Speaker 3: none of us from our school brought hats with us,
Speaker 3: so we weren't allowed to go outside for the lunch time.
Speaker 3: And I remember being really embarrassed that I couldn't go
Speaker 3: out and play.
Speaker 2: That would be embarrassing.
Speaker 4: You know why that got brought in was because all
Speaker 4: that all the skin cancer stuff really came out massive
Speaker 4: in the two thousands and so one of the big
Speaker 4: ways of educating the new generation of Australia was to
Speaker 4: push it into schools so we're no had no play
Speaker 4: for anything, stuck with it.
Speaker 2: It worked well and truly someone again driving when someone
Speaker 2: leaves a gap or lets you in when on the road,
Speaker 2: you wave thank you, yeah, one hundred percent. Even if
Speaker 2: so that's the difference with the crossing, sometimes I think
Speaker 2: too much because even if it's like even if I've
Speaker 2: merged and they barely even gave me any route, like
Speaker 2: as in, they barely did anything to let me in,
Speaker 2: like I would have got in whether they let me
Speaker 2: in or not. I'll always just wave to the person
Speaker 2: behind me no matter what. Yep, this one says we
Speaker 2: for some reason don't take energy stickers off fridges or
Speaker 2: washing machines. Do you not do that? Yes? I take
Speaker 2: them all off. I need it, gets on, I go
Speaker 2: get that ship.
Speaker 1: I hate you never needed those people.
Speaker 3: It's the same way you keep your MacBook box and
Speaker 3: your laptop box or your iPhone box I might need
Speaker 3: one day. When has anyone ever needed their laptop box.
Speaker 2: I've gotten rid of that from the get go.
Speaker 1: No, I reckon.
Speaker 3: Everyone keeps it and you put it in your undidrawer
Speaker 3: or something, or your iPhone box.
Speaker 2: I used to.
Speaker 4: I used to keep them, and then people like you
Speaker 4: don't need them. I was like, yeah, I've never needed them.
Speaker 2: I am someone who the peely ship on anything. Peel off,
Speaker 2: get it off, like everything bye. And you find that
Speaker 2: they haven't done it, and you do it, they go,
Speaker 2: what are you doing? Yeah? One of them one of
Speaker 2: my friends did that to someone's TV and was the
Speaker 2: actual screen and the whole screen. Yeah, and you can tell.
Speaker 3: Who AJ's mum still has the plastic on their fridge
Speaker 3: that's like five minutes old and it's all bubbling and peeling,
Speaker 3: and every time I go up, peel a little bit
Speaker 3: more off.
Speaker 2: No, Oh my god. I remember in Lockdown we had
Speaker 2: a fridge that was like bubbling and peeling and stuff.
Speaker 2: So I went to camar and I got like Marble
Speaker 2: contact paper.
Speaker 3: Marble was so in for your school books, Marble and
Speaker 3: rose gold.
Speaker 2: And so we marbled the fridge with the Marble like
Speaker 2: contact tape, contact tape. It looked way worse. I was like,
Speaker 2: this is going to revolution as the kitchen.
Speaker 3: Remember you, you're at twenty seventeen and all Lina and
Speaker 3: Marble with rose Gold and everything.
Speaker 2: I will admit I still love Marble. I love Marble. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do you reckon?
Speaker 1: Most people would agree with you on that.
Speaker 2: No, but that's fine. This one. Don't litter. It's very serious,
Speaker 2: so be a toss up. It is in my blood
Speaker 2: to not litter. Like I can't actually fathom having a
Speaker 2: having a piece of rubbish and just throwing it on
Speaker 2: the ground. That's actually something my body could not physically do.
Speaker 2: And did you know I saw that happening in Europe.
Speaker 2: You might see that happening in Europe. People just throwing
Speaker 2: rubbish just on the ground, in fact, in Greece. Was
Speaker 2: it in Greece? Yeah, I believe it was in Greece.
Speaker 2: Is actually throwing rubbish into waterways like little rivers or
Speaker 2: you know, creeks along the side of the road, like
Speaker 2: people would just finish their drink like you know, dare
Speaker 2: asked coffee or whatever it had been, throw it in.
Speaker 2: Now they had bins. They had bins everywhere, like Athens.
Speaker 2: We spent some time in Athens and that's really where
Speaker 2: I noticed, like the rubbish, But I got it was
Speaker 2: interesting because I got home and after spending all my
Speaker 2: time in Europe and I feel like I'm having DJVW.
Speaker 2: We Matter spoken about this on the podcast. I did
Speaker 2: make a video about it, but people got really offended
Speaker 2: by the video. But what I was saying was, and
Speaker 2: I think you might notice this, and I'm interested to
Speaker 2: see if you notice this is here in Australia. Our
Speaker 2: recycling and environment and the things we're doing for the
Speaker 2: environment is like top priority for us, right we don't
Speaker 2: have plastic bags, we don't have plastic straws. A lot
Speaker 2: of those sorts of things are legal in some places,
Speaker 2: some places not. But the thing that I noticed is
Speaker 2: after we went to America, which plastic everything. We had
Speaker 2: plastic bags, plastic straws, and even in America, the plastic
Speaker 2: straws would then come into plastic coating. They had to
Speaker 2: rip off first and then put the plastic and you know,
Speaker 2: none of them had like the recycling label on it
Speaker 2: or anything like that. Anyway, the point is I really
Speaker 2: noticed that Barcelona, Spain, actually has the best trash rubbish
Speaker 2: system out of everywhere I saw. Switzerland was like really
Speaker 2: clean and stuff like that, and I'm sure they had
Speaker 2: a good kind of system going, but some countries I
Speaker 2: went to. It did make me think, Wow, we do
Speaker 2: so much in Australia, but how will we ever make
Speaker 2: a difference when other countries around the world are doing this?
Speaker 2: And it kind of felt like Australia like I was
Speaker 2: kind of like I'm suffering. I don't know, it's dramatic,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm suffering with my paper straws
Speaker 2: in my iced coffee which lasts about four fucking minutes.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile the rest, you know, Europe or like, let's say,
Speaker 2: where was it Greece, you know, if Greece has plastic
Speaker 2: straws everywhere, I'm like, okay, so I'm suffering with my
Speaker 2: our little Australia, A little Australia over in the corner
Speaker 2: of the world's trying to be like, come on, everyone,
Speaker 2: let's save the environment. And then you go to America,
Speaker 2: one of the biggest countries in the world with the
Speaker 2: big population, and everyone's drinking out of plastic straws that
Speaker 2: are wrapped in plastic and all their groceries are in
Speaker 2: plastic bags and plastic plastic plasta. Do you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? And I wonder if you'll notice that in
Speaker 2: Europe that again some places, fully you're like, yep, everything's
Speaker 2: recycling properly, blah blah blah. But it kind of made
Speaker 2: me be like, what the hell am I doing all this?
Speaker 2: Like why am I hell am I doing all this
Speaker 2: work in Australia suffering with my grocery bags ripping because.
Speaker 1: Their paper our country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that doesn't work. If America's not picking up
Speaker 2: the slack, Australia is still going to get fucked by
Speaker 2: America with you know, global warming, etc. Climate change?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I mean anyway, I just wonder if you'll notice that
Speaker 2: when you're over there, because that's one of the biggest
Speaker 2: things I know is I felt jipped. And I'm all
Speaker 2: for it. I'm happy to have the paper straw for
Speaker 2: the like. I'm not saying, fuck it, we need plastic
Speaker 2: straws back, That's not what I'm saying. I'm happy to
Speaker 2: make those changes in my life for the greater good.
Speaker 2: But it was disheartening to be in other countries and
Speaker 2: see that they don't care as much, and I go, well,
Speaker 2: then what the fuck am I doing? Because if it
Speaker 2: was the opposite, if I was in America and we
Speaker 2: had if we had America's population, and we would do
Speaker 2: and that, and then America had our population and they
Speaker 2: were plastic plasticking it up, I'd go, Okay, good, we're
Speaker 2: out weighing the bad. But I'm going little old Australia
Speaker 2: is barely making a dent when the rest of the
Speaker 2: world is not doing what we're doing. Anyway, I got
Speaker 2: a lot of hate for saying that online, like I
Speaker 2: got so it was kind of wild. The amount of
Speaker 2: people who Yeah, and again, it's just one of those
Speaker 2: things that people on the internet like. Because I mentioned
Speaker 2: that I saw people throwing like rubbish, and I mean locals,
Speaker 2: not tourists, like locals throwing rubbish into the waterways. There's
Speaker 2: no way anyone would do that. You're lying, babe. I
Speaker 2: start up with my own fucking eyes, babe, Like, what
Speaker 2: do you mean, I just made that up.
Speaker 1: That's Rand of the week.
Speaker 2: Well it is my round of the week. That's Rid
Speaker 2: of the week anyway. Anyway, that's that on that you
Speaker 2: let me know if you notice that. Anyway, have gone
Speaker 2: bon voyage and I can't wait to replace you for
Speaker 2: two weeks. I'm gonna have the time of my bloody life. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're welcome, Scrollers. Don't forget to thanks.
Speaker 3: To our guests in advance for coming on and keep
Speaker 3: my seat warm while I'm away.
Speaker 2: Nice like scholars. You're in for a fucking treat.

Speaker 1: to listen to the episode.
