36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: that's and how decision making?

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: How how good decisions and bad decisions have affected my

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: career in life? Probably more bad decisions than good ones.

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: But how I've learned from that interesting topic. Yeah, And

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: I talked to them about that, and to be fair,

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: it descended into me just telling the worst stories that

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: i've that I have.

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's I guess that's the decisions that you've made.

44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: And at one point I told the story of our

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: netball coverage when Sam Winders said, top five things about

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: going to the Mountain Mongino. He's getting finger blasted at

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: the Bahama Hut. And when I said the word finger

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: blasting at a military base a couple hundred people, I

49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: could feel the oxygen came.

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Out of the room. Yeah, you didn't think that maybe

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: that might happen before you said it. Talking of decisions,

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: it was.

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: A bad and I did say. I said, that was

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: a bad decision. I have to live with it, and

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: I've moved on. And then I got a very difficult

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: question from someone in the front and they said, why

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: you canceled from sky Wow? So I told them the

58
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: full story they end job story and everything. So that

59
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: was quite funny. But so I did that and they

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: then they are very friendly and like a great vibe

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: down I'm loving I went. I went a bit of

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: all the choppers in there and the hangars. We got

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: on one of the new Hercules. The new Hirks smells

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: like a new car.

65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: It smells. It's guy like, I said, this smells like

66
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a new car. You guys, you gotta go a new car.

67
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, ships, you ever got a new car? Well,

68
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: it turns out you know what that smell is what glue? Ah,

69
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: there you go.

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: It's glue because it's always like the upholster plastic upholstery

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: and stuff.

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was.

73
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: It was anyway. We got to fly some simulators. I

74
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: flew in the Texan single seat of simulator. That was

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: good fun. I got to buzz wang and Nui like

76
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: down the river, followed the river of the Wanganui River up,

77
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: and then buzz the town.

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like you were sort of doing a bit

79
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: of a nine to eleven vibe on what we go out,

80
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: follow the river down and then flight straight into Starr FM. Yeah,

81
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: what's the only building? You know?

82
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 2: That was good and then they and then they killed

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: my engines back on the computer and I had to eject.

84
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: It was good.

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: And then we flew the D ninety helicopter, which is

86
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: a beast of a helicopter.

87
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: It can take twenty people. Did you have twenty people

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: in the simular?

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: No, No, just just the single He was a very

90
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: patient man in the simular.

91
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: How did you go on a chop because that's quite

92
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: an interesting thing. You've got the stick obviously, yeah, and

93
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: then you've got these the pedals and why do you

94
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: have a stick and pedal? What are they have a

95
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: steering wheel? Wow, because you've got because you can.

96
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: You've got the basically you've got the up and down

97
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: which is the handbrake, you know, the handbrake type thing

98
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: that takes you up and down. Then you've got your

99
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: pedals moves the chopper left to right, and then the

100
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: joystick is up and down.

101
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know why you just the joystick go

102
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: nose up and down. Yeah, okay, and then the and

103
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: then the hand thing is just straight elevation. Yeah. Wow.

104
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: It takes a lot and it takes a lot, but

Speaker 2: I was talking to you get used to it. It's

106
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: like anything, you get used to working all together. And

107
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: he took us for a bit of a hone around Wellington.

108
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: We landed back in Westpec a simulator three sixty. You're

109
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: in the slope basically dome three sixty screen. Yeah, as

110
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: real sick. And then we landed in Westpac Stadium again

111
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: an helicopter, this time in a military helicopter. And then

112
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: I landed on the back of the Canterbury which the

113
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: the frigate in the middle of the harbor.

114
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: It was fucking cool.

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: It's basically a gamers wet dream it's like about a

116
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: ten million dollars set up and as bucking also.

117
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: So the graphics were good. Yeah. Absolutely. Did you feel

118
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: like you were? Yeah, you were.

119
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: It was believable because when you got out of it,

120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: you got it was a bit you're struggling to find

121
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: your feet, but it was. We really sat in the

122
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: cockpit of a real in ninety helicopter and it was

123
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: it's exactly the same. So next time you know, you're

124
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: in a spot of bother and we can we spot

125
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: a helicopter, I'll take you for a spin.

126
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: You can actually got wouldn't get in the chopper with her? Well,

127
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: if someone has a heart attack, yeah, the chopper pilot

128
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: while you're in it, you can take at least you

129
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: can attempt to take over the control potentially. Yeah. I mean, look,

130
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to be in a helicopter with who

131
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: I imagine was down there, yeah he nah, No, you'd

132
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: be very very terrible coordination, very heavy landing.

133
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: But we well, and after that we had dinner down there.

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: We had a very formal, formal dinner with the bog Rats,

135
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,200

158
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 2: and he said, God saved the Queen, and he dropped

159
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: a tootle of.

160
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Coin in my wine glass. That means you get a scallot.

161
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I said, okay, I think I know what

162
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: to do here, and I so biffed the full glass

163
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: of rus full glass of red wine.

164
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I know the rules.

165
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: And then I could see everyone else and it's very

166
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: funny in a very formal situation. There was some real

167
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: boarding school behavior going on, which I massively respect. And

168
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: then from then on everyone's putting their menus over the

169
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: top of their glasses while they're not attending. And then

170
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: if you leave your chair for some an extended period

171
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: of time, the chair gets removed. So I came back

172
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: from the toilet and my chair had been removed. So

173
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: from then on I found my chair out in the bar,

174
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: out in the garden bar brought it back, and then

175
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: from then on I had to take my chair with

176
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: me to go wheeze. And I went into the toilet

177
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: and there's three other dudes with their cheers dragging behind

178
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: them doing wheeze in the hero it's great stuff anyway.

179
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: Is it because someone's pranking?

180
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says constant pranks stage a ginger cat appeared

181
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: a someone came in a flight suit and dropped a

182
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: ginger poss in the middle of the room.

183
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: So there's a cat running around. I'm like, what the

184
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: fugger's going? Wow? Great?

185
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: There was great stuff, and then the port comes out,

186
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: and then port's very The pouring of the port is

187
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: very serious because that's remembering those who have fallen and

188
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: gone the past and stuff. So that's all very serious.

189
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: But then the drinking games begin again with the coins

190
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: in the bottom. And at some stage I had two

191
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: beckets of tim Tams inside of my jacket and I

192
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: was dealing tim Tams and throwing coins.

193
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: And you should be and you should be, and I

194
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: should be in the armed forces. You should be in.

195
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: The armed forces were made for you, I know. Yeah,

196
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: apart from the authority part of it, Yeah, that's it.

197
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: And you just struggle with the actual fighting party and

198
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the actual respecting authority, getting told what to do by

199
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: people who in the superiors and that you never would have. Yeah,

200
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: that's an issue. And just that boarding school vibe suits

201
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: great fun. It was.

202
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: I had a great time and they were all very friendly,

203
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: up for a good time, and that's when I woke

204
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: up in the morning with someone's formal jacket which is

205
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: in the ACC studio. So someone at the Air Force

206
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: down and hockey has an ACCA jacket and I have

207
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: got all his medals on it as well.

208
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: I should probably give it back.

209
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: Brandon was his name, and he was the man that

210
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: he got me with the coin and I I got

211
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: done four times. So luckily I changed the beer, so

212
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: it was three handles of beer and a ball glass

213
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: of wine. Anyway, I got him back at the bar

214
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: because he didn't know I had the coin, and he

215
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: was negotiating a quadruple rum and coke and a pint

216
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: glass with ballad. And he was so proud of himself

217
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: that he should go, you should try it. It's very delicious.

218
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: And I went, yeah, I'll try it, and I think

219
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: pop and he a little tear came.

220
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Out of his eye.

221
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and game yeah, and then he had to That's

222
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: when I ended up in his jacket.

223
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: He ended up in mine. Matt, he'th got done and

224
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: once hang on, did you make love with them? No?

225
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: He got done once with the coin for the queen

226
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 2: and yeah, not a great effort from him.

227
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Oh really, were you cocky? Monster?

228
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: Yeah?

229
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: It was a glass of red wine as well. Yeah, okay,

230
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: it was like there's been a lot of decion about that.

231
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: Talked to you about that, No, did you see that?

232
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: I did see it because I was called out in

233
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: the video saying, you know, Dylane's not here, but you

234
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,600

Speaker 1: nice message, and you struggled, looks.

237
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: Like and I just commented, I've never been less proud

238
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: of you.

239
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Well, you're not the only one. As it turns out,

240
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Joe Wheeler was was actually he was. He was angry,

241
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: he was pissed off. He was he was pissed off.

242
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: The thing that upset him was not the pace at

243
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: wish which Mesh drunk that particular point, but it was

244
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: the fact that most of it ended up down on top.

245
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: And his thing was, look, if you can't, if you

246
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: can't drink it fast, that's fine. Not everybody can. Some

247
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: people's physically their throats just not capable of you know,

248
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: just they've got what's called pussy throat. But clearly meshed that.

249
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: But but it's more the fact that it ends up

250
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: down on the ground. He said, there's just no excuse

251
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: that is.

252
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: Can I just say as well, I mean a huge

253
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: high five to and then to his pantsman Joel Harrison,

254
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: who refused to take microphones to that event. Little lapel mics,

255
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: so he made you shout at every which I thought

256
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: was a nice touch from him. He sound twice three times,

257
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: ten times is wasted when you shout, So unless unless

258
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: you had at lapel mic you went hey here at.

259
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: Mentally that in his defense, he reckons that that was

260
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: being number what seven, that you had to skull there

261
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: being number seven? Welcome in my world, but a professional

Speaker 1: fuck no? Being number three? Was it first one? First one? Yeah? Hey?

265
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: At this formal dinner as well, it was quite funny

266
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: because I was discussing some terrible stuff with the two

267
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: gentlemen next to me. Was late and it was Cody

268
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: that was it was ready and you know, very wide

269
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: range topics we were talking about. And then I noticed

270
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: that at the end of the room they had a

271
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: big picture of the Queen, which is you know, taking

272
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: center stage, being you know, the head of state, and

273
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: but then on the side there was the Duke of Edinburgh.

274
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 2: He was a picture of him, and then there was

275
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: a rather creepy picture of Prince Charles kind of lean

276
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: back on a chair with his arm up, his legs crossed,

277
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: and I was like, what's the story, guys? You need

278
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: to get rid of queen. I hate to say that

279
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: Queen's dead. You got to God save the king. You

280
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: got to put the king up there. So would you

281
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: mind if I if I just took the queen and

282
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: I'll swap it with with Prince. What's he King? Charles

283
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: will put the King up there? And it's like I

284
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: had just shat in the middle of the room. There's

285
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: silence that I don't touch the Queen. I was like, okay,

286
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: but you realize she's not the queen anymore.

287
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: It's the King. I'll swap it. They love the queen.

288
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't Knowice.

289
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: It's a rumor, but I hear the Defense force are

290
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: not heavy about King Charles.

291
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: Interesting. I mean I get that because of years and

292
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: years and years you talk about the queen and the

293
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: queen was great New Zealander. Yeah, you know she was.

294
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: She really was a great New Zealander. I also repeated

295
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: your line, great wreck and then they didn't get on

296
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: well either, really, but that's a compliment. Yeah, I know,

297
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: the same about the queen. They love the queen not

298
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, yeah, that is not the same. Yeah,

299
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: I know. It's so hard to work for someone that's

300
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: been involved in the tamp gate that wasn't it a Yeah,

301
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: that's right. They wanted to be a tampon, didn't they.

302
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: You did? I want to be your tampon. We'll be

303
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: back in just a moment. Oh god, it's not a news.

304
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: You want to be alone. Welcome back. So in a nutshell,

305
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to join the Air Force.

306
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, age of forty six, I'm going to join the

307
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: Air Force become an officer.

308
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh you yeah. But as I said, the problem is

309
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: if you could be an officer straight away, that'll be fine.

310
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: But you can't be you can work your way out, mate,

311
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: You've got to be told what to do. They'll do

312
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,960

00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, did you notice that all of

340
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: the people are all kind of the same personality.

341
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got the similar haircuts.

342
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Because we used to play against the Air Force. In fact,

343
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: I got my first ever and only Royal Imperial Golden

344
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: Duck against the against the Air Force at the Air

345
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Force base and Vanilapai yep yep. And I was chatting

346
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: to them afterwards, A good bunch of guys because they

347
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: have you, you know, you can hang out there. And

348
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: we had some drinks at the Air Force bar there

349
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: afterwards and they said to me, we're all I said, oh, so,

350
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, explaining the housing situation and the fact that

351
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: all their families hung out and stuff. And they said,

352
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: it's amazing because because we have to do personality tests

353
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: to get into the Air Force, we're all the same

354
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: kind of people, so we all like the same sorts

355
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: of stuff. And that's how services work. They put people

356
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: together who have something in common because in the heat

357
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: of battle, you need to know that other people think

358
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: like you.

359
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm saying that they were all very very nice.

360
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: Check they had like a small twinkle in their eye though,

361
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: like something was up.

362
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't it.

363
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't think anyone was doing that, to

364
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: be honest, Okay, not anything wrong with that.

365
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. But I never got that vibe.

366
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I just got a vibe of something else was up,

367
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: like they put hipmanol on my drink or something or

368
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, after that, I did leave my door

369
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: open in the officer's accommodation, but no invites.

370
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Well not, but you knew, just he who.

371
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: Couldn't quite get the concept that there was a shared bathroom,

372
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: and he opened up his wardrobe and hopped them to go.

373
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: Poose had to quickly get him out of there and

374
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: take him to the Oh, he was in the wrong.

375
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: He was going in his closet. That's not the first

376
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: time that's happened.

377
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: Well, he thought it was lightly so he thought it

378
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: was a toilet.

379
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's happened plenty of times before. But no,

380
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: it was great.

381
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: They did a great maneuver and we flew down on

382
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: the King, which is a twin prop plane, but it's

383
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 2: a vip plane. Often the Prime Minister and stuff goes

384
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: around and he's got nine seats inside it, and we

385
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 2: did a buzz and break and they got on the

386
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: coms and said, we're going to do a bit of

387
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: a buzz and break through here and there are other

388
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: people on the plane because we were just hitching a lift.

389
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: So there are other officials from the Air Force on

390
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: the plane and we're like, what the fuck there's a

391
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: buzz and break And they're like, oh, it's a wave

392
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: slown down if you're coming in at high speed.

393
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: So they'll probably they'll go low over the.

394
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Runway at about four hundred colmeters an hour, then put

395
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: the brakes on and go up and bear up and

396
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: then land the plane.

397
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, is that normally a normal thing?

398
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: Oh?

399
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty normal.

400
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: It's it's fine. It's like it's anover they have to practice,

401
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And I was like, okay, sure enough. Down,

402
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: like just off the runway and then just put on

403
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: the break at the end, like almost like a handbrake turn,

404
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: then come around and land it.

405
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Oh cool, that was pretty cool. Cool.

406
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's going good weather conditions, Yeah, great with

407
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: buzz and break, And I'd like I compared it. I said,

408
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to use that to them next time I

409
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: go to a party. I'm going to go through the party.

410
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to buzz the party, look for who I

411
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: want to hang out with, and then I'll put the

412
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: brake on and I'll come back into the party and

413
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: I'll land where I want to.

414
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna buzz and break. There's something as well

415
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: about flying with the Air Force people. They don't crash. Yeah,

416
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: they are really good, like they practice lots and they

417
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: do practice difficult things, so you kind of feel like

418
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: you know that the maintenance of those craft will be amazing. Yeah,

419
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd feel very very safe flying with any.

420
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Mind Force guy micros second where I was like squeaky

421
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: bum I started to get squaky paths. I think it

422
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: was when the when they first started to turn the

423
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: kind of geez put you into your seat, right, Okay,

424
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: you don't really feel this in a domestic ATR.

425
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: It's an interesting Yeah, interesting they pulled that minute.

426
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't break, but it's quite apparently quite common. And on

427
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: the way home we're like any change of another buzz

428
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: and break and trouble there was the weather conditions were aroundous.

429
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: He goes no chance, sorry, no chance. So every time

430
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to get onto an ATR, if you get

431
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: onto an ATR New Zealand Painter, ever, just lean in

432
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: and go chance to a buzz and break.

433
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: Turns out they can do more things than what you think.

434
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: Those planes like, they're quite like the old A three twenties.

435
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: She's a powerful machine like they can maneuver. They're really maneuverable.

436
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: The old seven three seven used to be able to

437
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: do crazy things. But of course I can't get funky yet. Yeah,

438
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: so you want to get too funky on it. Yeah

445
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Was going to say sex worker, but she's not. She's

446
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: a sex therapist, Morgan Morgan pen Yeah, she was a

447
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: real breath of fresh air last week. I'm sure she was.

448
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure she really was. She said some interesting things

449
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: about you. She seems to know quite a lot about you.

450
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,080

453
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: I know she she she was pretty vague on the details.

454
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: There was a twinkle in her eye.

455
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: It's probably that cross dressing phase I went through down

456
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: and Wellington.

457
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600
