1 00:00:02,570 --> 00:00:04,250 S1: A listener production. 2 00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:10,549 S2: Crocks rocks, prehistoric animals capable of leaping from the water 3 00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:13,010 S2: to eat a raw chicken off a stick, to the 4 00:00:13,010 --> 00:00:18,020 S2: delight of tourists in a nearby boat. Apart from the chicken, 5 00:00:18,290 --> 00:00:24,299 S2: a situation in which everyone wins. All. So you think 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,110 S2: these displays have been the lifeblood of two of the 7 00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:33,750 S2: Northern Territory's proudest businesses for decades spectacular croc jumping tours 8 00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:40,229 S2: and original croc jumping tours. However, sadly, the small business 9 00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:46,170 S2: waters between the businesses have historically been anything but calm. 10 00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:52,409 S2: Years of high jinks and tricks, some verging from cheeky 11 00:00:52,409 --> 00:00:57,060 S2: to dirty, have created a rift between these two dragons 12 00:00:57,060 --> 00:01:02,190 S2: of the airborne croc tourism game, a rift many thought 13 00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:08,520 S2: could never be repaired. But not the Hamish and Andy podcast. 14 00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:12,780 S2: Refusing to take the several good opportunities to let this 15 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:17,789 S2: story arc Peter out. The boys now venture to Darwin 16 00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:25,140 S2: to achieve what many believe impossible a truce. Can Hamish 17 00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:30,150 S2: and Andy do it? Can they bring peace in the North? 18 00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:35,039 S2: And then, if time permits, and only if time permits, 19 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,490 S2: go on a two hour jet ski tour and have 20 00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:43,910 S2: a big night out at the Caz. We'll find out soon. 21 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,620 S2: But first, let's catch you all up and go back 22 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:54,620 S2: in time to May 2023 when on a routine Andy 23 00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:59,450 S2: Ellie trip to Darwin, some afternoon entertainment was required. 24 00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:01,910 S3: We decided to go on a crocodile jumping to jumping. 25 00:02:02,130 --> 00:02:04,220 S4: Yes, you get dirt bikes and you jump over. 26 00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:07,310 S3: No no no, you're in a boat and the crocs 27 00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:08,030 S3: do the jumping. 28 00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:12,320 S2: The naming of the two tours and their origins was intriguing. 29 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,160 S3: There were two tours to choose from, a company called 30 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,350 S3: the Original Croc Jumping Tour. Okay, that's a whole lot 31 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:23,510 S3: of chickens. A lot more original. 32 00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:24,730 S4: Content. 33 00:02:25,820 --> 00:02:30,950 S3: Or its direct competitor spectacular croc jumping tour. 34 00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:33,619 S4: If you were opening a one of a kind tour, 35 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,560 S4: you would never think to call it original first. Yes, 36 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440 S4: without competition, and you could never call it original if 37 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,300 S4: you were second to market because you're not. 38 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,650 S2: Yes, and it was fun to imagine some decades old 39 00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:49,880 S2: feud at two ends of a bridge over the Adelaide River. 40 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,889 S4: If it's war, it's war. We're going to call ourselves 41 00:02:51,889 --> 00:02:54,770 S4: the original croc jumping tours brackets. Who also happened to 42 00:02:54,770 --> 00:02:55,309 S4: be spectators. 43 00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:56,340 S3: Yeah. 44 00:02:57,770 --> 00:03:01,220 S4: Oh, or to go extra teeth like to remove your 45 00:03:01,220 --> 00:03:04,940 S4: hands completely of any wrongdoing. You just include quotes from 46 00:03:04,940 --> 00:03:08,690 S4: customers that all include the word spectacular. Like the most 47 00:03:08,690 --> 00:03:11,240 S4: spectacular thing I've ever seen. Boy oh boy. Now this 48 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,270 S4: is spectacular. I've never seen anything so spectacular. 49 00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:18,980 S2: But the boys soon discovered that reality would deliver them. 50 00:03:18,980 --> 00:03:22,100 S2: Just the river rivalry they were after. 51 00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:24,110 S4: I got an anonymous tip that came in my side. 52 00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:25,850 S4: The fence. She says. Look, I work in the territory 53 00:03:25,850 --> 00:03:28,670 S4: in the tourism game and they are big rivals, these 54 00:03:28,669 --> 00:03:31,190 S4: two companies. Yeah, we've got a trade show each year 55 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:33,140 S4: and they have to separate them. So there's no beef 56 00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:34,400 S4: at the trade show. 57 00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:35,810 S3: It's a rivalry, but. 58 00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:38,120 S5: It's not like like it's not a dictatorship. Where are 59 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,950 S5: you going to go in? Like someone's going to get 60 00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:41,750 S5: shot for crossing the line. Like it's not going to 61 00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:45,260 S5: happen like that. In saying that, there definitely would be 62 00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:47,840 S5: a like, you don't come on my turf. I don't 63 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,810 S5: go on your turf. There's an understanding. It's like the DMZ, 64 00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:51,950 S5: you're not crossing the line. 65 00:03:51,950 --> 00:03:55,550 S2: And the bombshells from Bill didn't end there. 66 00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:58,880 S5: The original fun fact is not actually the original. 67 00:03:59,300 --> 00:03:59,640 S3: Oh. 68 00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,710 S4: Oh, hang on, this is huge. 69 00:04:02,180 --> 00:04:05,750 S3: Hang on, hang on a second. So is spectacular. The 70 00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:07,580 S3: original spectacular. 71 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:08,630 S5: Is the original. 72 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,160 S4: Then what is going on with the rail? How are 73 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:13,220 S4: the original calling themselves the original? 74 00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:14,960 S5: Your guess would be as good as mine. 75 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:19,700 S2: Information started to come in from informants left, right and 76 00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,390 S2: centre and some clarification was offered. 77 00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:26,870 S3: There was two going at it Frontier and Adelaide River. 78 00:04:26,870 --> 00:04:29,510 S3: Frontier went out of business to Adelaide River. Have called 79 00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:32,180 S3: themselves a wrench at all, but they've only slapped original 80 00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:34,010 S3: on the on their name. 81 00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:35,240 S4: When in spectacular. 82 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,450 S3: Came it came on so but they still more original 83 00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:40,460 S3: than spectacular I think so. 84 00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:47,060 S4: That's splitting hairs. But and also that's obviously not as 85 00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:48,530 S4: catchy a slogan. 86 00:04:48,529 --> 00:04:49,130 S3: No. Yeah. 87 00:04:49,130 --> 00:04:51,560 S4: More original, more original than the other guys. Maybe not 88 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,700 S4: the original, but certainly more original. Now you get into 89 00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,760 S4: shades of originality. That is interesting. But the Croc. 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,470 S2: Wars got even more interesting with information from a source 91 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:06,049 S2: deep within the NT government. 92 00:05:06,050 --> 00:05:08,960 S3: Back in the day, things got so bad between the 93 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,130 S3: operators we had to officially step in and mediate. The 94 00:05:13,130 --> 00:05:16,040 S3: bridge is in fact now an official no man's land 95 00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:20,419 S3: and neither shall pass onto other side. The person who 96 00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:22,820 S3: said that there is a big rub between the operators 97 00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:25,820 S3: wasn't exaggerating. Back in the old territory days, there were 98 00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:27,830 S3: lots of shenanigans going on between them. 99 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:32,990 S2: And if this show loves anything, it's shenanigans. 100 00:05:32,990 --> 00:05:36,710 S6: Sources have reported to me that in around the Covid times, 101 00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:40,190 S6: there was some border dealings in shenanigans with signs. 102 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,710 S3: Oh, so the. 103 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,360 S4: Defacing of signs or. 104 00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:45,710 S6: The defacing of signs? Allegedly, the. 105 00:05:45,710 --> 00:05:49,970 S2: Pods insider Kip also got some Intel of incursions into 106 00:05:49,970 --> 00:05:51,860 S2: each other's territory. Original. 107 00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:54,529 S6: What they said to me was they're happy where they are, 108 00:05:54,529 --> 00:05:57,740 S6: but they do go north from time to time. Yep, spectacular. 109 00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:59,840 S6: Only went up north from what I could see. 110 00:06:00,170 --> 00:06:02,870 S4: You get the feeling from spectacular that when original does 111 00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:05,000 S4: go north of the bridge that's kicking the hornet's nest 112 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,220 S4: a bit and spectacular. Doesn't like that. 113 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:09,320 S6: That's the feeling on the water hand. Yeah. 114 00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:18,409 S2: In any investigation, misinformation sows doubt and insecurities can start 115 00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:23,480 S2: to rise. But anonymous emails help steady the boat. 116 00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:26,900 S4: Yes. Don't give up on the croc thing. You're closer 117 00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:33,490 S4: than you think. It's just it's out there and it's simmering. Yes. 118 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:35,029 S4: And people are thinking about it. 119 00:06:35,029 --> 00:06:37,730 S2: And the more the boys thought about it, the more 120 00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,860 S2: they knew what they had to do. 121 00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:41,710 S4: Wouldn't it be an incredible thing? They're in the hat 122 00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:44,200 S4: of the Hamish Nandy show. If we could travel to 123 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,120 S4: the territory and negotiate a peace deal. 124 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,950 S7: Bring peace to the region. 125 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,490 S4: To the territories. That's our best shot at a Nobel 126 00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:52,080 S4: Peace Prize. 127 00:06:52,089 --> 00:06:54,160 S7: Like bringing down the Berlin Wall. Do we bring down 128 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,850 S7: the bridge? 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,000 S3: Oh, no. No, you need that. You need that. It's 130 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,680 S3: one of them anyway. 131 00:06:59,950 --> 00:07:01,960 S4: And the last thing we've got to say is may 132 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,330 S4: the bridge forever be down. What are you doing? That bridge, 133 00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:08,080 S4: you girls. 134 00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:12,790 S2: Having decided not to blow it up, the bridge did 135 00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:14,530 S2: seem like a focal point. 136 00:07:14,530 --> 00:07:17,350 S7: We hold some sort of party on the bridge in 137 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:19,570 S7: the middle of the bridge. They come and shake hands. 138 00:07:19,570 --> 00:07:22,780 S7: The two tours and then the town celebrates and we 139 00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:23,860 S7: all party into the night. 140 00:07:23,890 --> 00:07:26,500 S4: It's like it's North Korea. It's very north South Korea 141 00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,170 S4: that you meet. Or Berlin really barely feels like a bridge. 142 00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:30,250 S3: Are you guys envisaging. 143 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,780 S4: Basically the bridge from like Cold War movies between East 144 00:07:34,780 --> 00:07:35,560 S4: and West Berlin? 145 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,990 S3: Yeah, right. It's like a very well used highway. 146 00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:42,520 S4: Like it's a road. 147 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,970 S3: Bridge. It's a road bridge. Cars like we're in the 148 00:07:45,970 --> 00:07:48,100 S3: middle of it. Cars are going at 130. 149 00:07:48,860 --> 00:07:49,990 S4: I'm right. It's a freeway. Yeah. 150 00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,520 S3: It's like it's quite a. 151 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,230 S4: I feel like a jack. But I still like the 152 00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:55,720 S4: idea that maybe made under the bridge. Can we do 153 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,890 S4: that and bury a hatchet? 154 00:07:57,050 --> 00:07:58,000 S3: That's where the crocs live. 155 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,990 S2: And so a peace mission was decided upon. Flights were booked, 156 00:08:06,990 --> 00:08:11,220 S2: sunset jet ski tours were arranged. The whole team was 157 00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:15,930 S2: Darwin bound on the first weekend in November until. 158 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,760 S3: Press release from the original Adelaide River Queen jumping croc cruises. 159 00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:23,700 S4: So the original the original. The original for short. 160 00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:28,860 S3: Yep the original it is the original jumping crocodile cruises 161 00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:32,790 S3: will close on the 31st of October 2023, after 38 162 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:34,320 S3: years of operation on the Adelaide River. 163 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,729 S4: Unbelievable. 164 00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:41,559 S3: We still going? We just take your holiday. I mean. 165 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,390 S4: We booked it and we got so excited. We were 166 00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:46,420 S4: looking at, like, again, it's like nothing. 167 00:08:46,490 --> 00:08:50,050 S7: It's really the first for St Peter out. Usually where. 168 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:50,709 S4: It is, it is. 169 00:08:50,980 --> 00:08:52,170 S7: In charge of our Peter out. 170 00:08:52,179 --> 00:08:54,970 S4: We're for the first time ever where the opposite of 171 00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:57,760 S4: a Peter out. We're we're the ones clinging on and 172 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,510 S4: someone else has opened the door in Peter's left hand. 173 00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:05,800 S2: Cling on. They did. They found any excuse to go. 174 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,890 S3: But it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't create peace 175 00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:11,470 S3: between the two businesses. There'd be a nice way to close. 176 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,970 S7: One doesn't exist. 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:13,450 S3: Yeah. 178 00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:16,660 S4: It does seem like an easy peace deal. Just. Just 179 00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:19,270 S4: as he's taking his cardboard box full of stuff to 180 00:09:19,270 --> 00:09:22,150 S4: his car. And, Tony, do you agree to peace? Yeah, mate.

Now 198 00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:16,969 S3: that could not be what? Yeah. 199 00:10:17,330 --> 00:10:18,920 S4: Because of the jet ski tours. Yeah. 200 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:23,870 S3: Luckily that could not be further from. 201 00:10:23,870 --> 00:10:26,600 S4: Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.

That's gross. But you're not the only 206 00:10:44,030 --> 00:10:47,510 S4: one crying. I'm crying because that's a really hurtful thing 207 00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:54,050 S4: to say. Oh, boy. And that's what these teeth represent. 208 00:10:54,050 --> 00:11:00,440 S4: These tears are for. And you do this for small business. Peace. 209 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,610 S4: And you get a kiss.

Obviously we're 235 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,809 S4: just lowly East Coasters, but we heard about the feud 236 00:12:19,809 --> 00:12:21,339 S4: and we've been following it all year. 237 00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:22,150 S8: Wow. 238 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:25,780 S4: Now, Renee, we've come here to negotiate a peace between 239 00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:27,250 S4: original and spectacular. 240 00:12:27,460 --> 00:12:29,680 S8: Oh, wow. This is interesting. 241 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,030 S3: Do you think that's achievable? 242 00:12:31,090 --> 00:12:33,750 S8: I think if anybody can do it, you guys can. Yeah. 243 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,800 S4: Thank you. Yeah. Do you feel like the territories behind 244 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,430 S4: us as we try. 245 00:12:36,429 --> 00:12:39,220 S8: And I feel like 100%. I live under a rock 246 00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:42,400 S8: and I'm sure everybody else knows what you're doing, but 100%. 247 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,929 S8: If you can make these guys sort that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 248 00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:47,920 S8: that'd be great. Well, as. 249 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,679 S4: Soon as I walked in, the jack who works behind 250 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,720 S4: the bar, he looked at me and said, you're here 251 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,650 S4: for peace. And I said, yeah, that's exactly what we're doing, mate. So, Renee, 252 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,200 S4: we wanted to get a territorial and a member of 253 00:13:01,630 --> 00:13:03,790 S4: of this fine establishment want to get their blessing as 254 00:13:03,790 --> 00:13:06,250 S4: we head out because our next stop, we're heading out 255 00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:06,849 S4: to the river. 256 00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:08,590 S8: Well, you're going to need it. You're going to need 257 00:13:08,590 --> 00:13:11,500 S8: my blessings. Yeah, you need my blessing. Shenanigans. 258 00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:13,510 S3: Have you heard of the what?

Nobody can get along. 261 00:13:16,450 --> 00:13:16,720 S3: Right. 262 00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:19,510 S4: So it's just. And then it's devolved into possibly dirty tricks. 263 00:13:19,510 --> 00:13:22,000 S4: And the thing is, that is fertile ground for peace, 264 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,520 S4: isn't it? We're know. So when no one can get along. 265 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,080 S4: I mean, you would have seen a few scuffles here 266 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,550 S4: at the bar over the years. 267 00:13:27,820 --> 00:13:29,680 S8: Every Wednesday night.

Yeah, so. 282 00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:07,750 S4: We're heading out to negotiate peace between Wes and Tony. 283 00:14:08,110 --> 00:14:11,500 S4: And we hadn't spoken to Tony from original. Yeah, we 284 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:13,600 S4: heard earlier in the week a couple of days ago, 285 00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:15,550 S4: Tony wanted to talk and we jumped into the studio 286 00:14:15,550 --> 00:14:17,770 S4: and had a chat to Tony. Have a listen to 287 00:14:17,770 --> 00:14:18,309 S4: this for now. 288 00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:24,190 S3: An emergency jump back into the studio today, guys. Lovely 289 00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:25,030 S3: to see you both. Yeah. 290 00:14:25,330 --> 00:14:27,160 S4: Good to see you. This warrants it. Yeah. 291 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,840 S3: People will be hearing this knowing that we're already in Darwin. Yeah, 292 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,900 S3: but a vital piece of the puzzle is not going 293 00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:35,590 S3: to be there. 294 00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:39,820 S4: And we thought, let's capture this moment because I never 295 00:14:39,820 --> 00:14:41,560 S4: thought that this was going to play out like a 296 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,770 S4: true crime podcast. But it's going to have those pieces, 297 00:14:44,770 --> 00:14:47,470 S4: isn't it? We have to, like, have the phone calls 298 00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:50,140 S4: and the bits of evidence and the pieces of the journey. 299 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,500 S4: This is the bit where we've just found out that 300 00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:55,150 S4: as we are about to head in a couple of 301 00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:59,859 S4: days to Darwin to visit the owners of spectacular croc 302 00:14:59,860 --> 00:15:03,130 S4: jumping tours, that's Wes and original croc jumping tours. That's 303 00:15:03,130 --> 00:15:07,180 S4: Tony to negotiate peace between the businesses. Tony's not going 304 00:15:07,180 --> 00:15:10,540 S4: to be there. Mm hmm. Now, this is our this 305 00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:13,450 S4: is our. We've had this weekend blocked out. We're very 306 00:15:13,450 --> 00:15:16,780 S4: excited about this weekend. As has been previously discussed, excited 307 00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:18,190 S4: for the notion of peace. 308 00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:20,770 S3: It turns out that he's on Sunshine Coast. He's way. 309 00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:27,400 S4: Yeah, but. Can we do something still? I mean, if 310 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,290 S4: Covid taught us anything, you don't actually have to be 311 00:15:29,290 --> 00:15:31,630 S4: in the physical location. Well, we're going to be there. 312 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:33,490 S4: We'll be in Darwin. And I think we've still got 313 00:15:33,490 --> 00:15:36,010 S4: a commitment from Wes to join us in neutral territory 314 00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:37,380 S4: between the two businesses. 315 00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:39,130 S3: I'm not sure if Wes knows that Tony's not going 316 00:15:39,130 --> 00:15:40,210 S3: to be there in person, but. 317 00:15:40,270 --> 00:15:41,920 S4: Don't tell Wes because we need Wes to show up 318 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,560 S4: because we're going to look like absolute idiots if we. 319 00:15:45,010 --> 00:15:47,550 S4: We fly all the way up from the eastern coast. 320 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,810 S4: We're the only two guys standing out there in a field, 321 00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:52,300 S4: and Jack's holding a laptop or something, and no one's there. 322 00:15:52,570 --> 00:15:55,810 S3: Well, we've had further contact with Tony. He's happy to 323 00:15:55,810 --> 00:15:57,520 S3: take a call from us. That's what we've raised back 324 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,200 S3: in the studio. Let's give him a buzz now and 325 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,780 S3: find the lay of the land. This is the owner 326 00:16:01,780 --> 00:16:03,040 S3: of original. 327 00:16:03,490 --> 00:16:04,660 S4: What are we trying to get out of him? Just 328 00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:08,560 S4: a commitment. Would he, like, zoom in or face to piece? 329 00:16:08,830 --> 00:16:10,150 S4: Is he open? Yeah. And that's it. Like, is he 330 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:13,180 S4: open to piece?

We've dedicated 337 00:16:29,770 --> 00:16:33,010 S3: a lot of time to this. We've found out that you. 338 00:16:33,490 --> 00:16:37,270 S3: You're not going to be there on what we know. 339 00:16:38,140 --> 00:16:40,930 S4: Okay. So turn. We are heading up.

Well, well, spectacular. 350 00:17:20,830 --> 00:17:23,470 S3: We'd love to follow this whole journey, but we only 351 00:17:23,470 --> 00:17:24,760 S3: came along in the 80s. Tony. 352 00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:26,950 S4: Our parents would have found it weird as two four 353 00:17:26,950 --> 00:17:29,740 S4: year olds charged off up north with some recording gear. 354 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,280 S3: Tony, tell me the truth. Is it a publicity stunt 355 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,630 S3: or are you actually closing it down? 356 00:17:35,109 --> 00:17:37,600 S9: Yeah, we don't do publicity stunts. 357 00:17:37,780 --> 00:17:38,530 S3: Okay. 358 00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:42,040 S4: All right. So really. Okay, so the situation has got 359 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,859 S4: untenable for you there on the river, and you're closing 360 00:17:44,859 --> 00:17:46,630 S4: it down, and we read your press release. You make 361 00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:49,420 S4: a lot of great points for safety reasons. And that's 362 00:17:49,420 --> 00:17:52,690 S4: why you have been forced into this position. Can we 363 00:17:52,690 --> 00:17:56,590 S4: take you back a bit, tone, to the days when 364 00:17:56,590 --> 00:18:01,090 S4: spectacular and original were there was some shenanigans between the 365 00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:04,510 S4: companies we heard we can't remember who did what to whom, 366 00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:06,910 S4: but we did hear that someone used to drive a 367 00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:10,480 S4: sign down and put it over the other person's sign. 368 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,359 S9: Oh, I did more than that. 369 00:18:13,810 --> 00:18:16,150 S3: What was your best shenanigan? Tony, can you tell us now? 370 00:18:16,180 --> 00:18:18,850 S3: Now that you've closed down, what was your best shenanigan? 371 00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:24,640 S9: Well, it wasn't a shenanigan. It was. It was self defense. Oh, basically. Yeah, 372 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,650 S9: they put up a sign, we put up a sign 373 00:18:26,650 --> 00:18:29,170 S9: to counter, you know, and it just went on until 374 00:18:29,170 --> 00:18:32,860 S9: the the corner of Anzac Avenue was pretty much all signs. 375 00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:34,490 S4: Saying things like. 376 00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:36,610 S3: They never sign. You put a sign in front of that, 377 00:18:36,609 --> 00:18:38,229 S3: they put a sign in front of that and you 378 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:41,500 S3: put another sign. Yeah, I heard a rumor that you 379 00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,750 S3: put a sign up their driveway that said, wrong way. 380 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,379 S3: Turn back. 381 00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:45,250 S4: There. 382 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,620 S9: Yeah, yeah, that was that was the frontier days. Yeah. Good. 383 00:18:49,630 --> 00:18:51,159 S9: We had it. We had a sign more in the 384 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,740 S9: frontier days too, because they were right next door. 385 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,370 S3: Okay. 386 00:18:54,369 --> 00:18:57,340 S9: It's kind of the wrong way to go. It was 387 00:18:57,790 --> 00:18:59,050 S9: it was very effective. 388 00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:06,100 S3: Wrong way. Go. I love that. Have you got any 389 00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:08,050 S3: other tales for us? Because what else? 390 00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:10,150 S4: What did they do to you? What did they what 391 00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:12,130 S4: where was the what was the dirtiest trick they did 392 00:19:12,130 --> 00:19:12,820 S4: to you? 393 00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:14,110 S10: Oh. 394 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,109 S9: You know, the the problem, I guess, was the fact that. 395 00:19:21,050 --> 00:19:23,629 S9: You know, we could see a very early on that 396 00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:26,810 S9: it wasn't going to work outside of the bridge. I 397 00:19:26,810 --> 00:19:29,270 S9: think I added it up one day there was 13 398 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:34,010 S9: cruisers went up. Yeah. And you can only feed crocodiles 399 00:19:34,010 --> 00:19:37,550 S9: so often? Yep. Yeah. Now, if a crocodile didn't jump, 400 00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:38,900 S9: you didn't have a product. 401 00:19:39,170 --> 00:19:40,550 S3: Yeah, exactly. 402 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,369 S4: They're eating for pigs. They don't need to jump. 403 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,930 S9: Yeah, exactly. There's. It's just it doesn't work, you know, 404 00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:51,470 S9: and it kind of. If you've never seen it before, 405 00:19:51,470 --> 00:19:53,330 S9: you can sort of say. Oh, yeah, well, that was 406 00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:57,139 S9: really good. But, you know, crocodile might slip a metre 407 00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:59,100 S9: or so out of the water and say, oh, you know, 408 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,879 S9: get a good photo of that. But, you know, in 409 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,450 S9: this day and age, like this, this last year, there's, 410 00:20:05,630 --> 00:20:10,070 S9: there was 5 or 6 males competing for, for space 411 00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:14,330 S9: on the river. You know, and, and once these we 412 00:20:14,330 --> 00:20:18,470 S9: could get these six metre crocodile at once jumped almost 413 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:20,960 S9: as high as the top deck of the boat. 414 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,160 S11: Wow. 415 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,699 S9: You know, and I mean, that's pretty spectacular. Yeah. 416 00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:32,060 S4: Which is the other name, but and so. 417 00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:34,550 S9: Completeness, complete misuse of words. 418 00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:39,320 S4: But was was there ever a situation where, where one 419 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,410 S4: company was like feeding the crocs too much so they 420 00:20:42,410 --> 00:20:43,969 S4: wouldn't jump for the other company? 421 00:20:44,090 --> 00:20:48,290 S9: Well, the behaviour was that there was only one boat 422 00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:51,080 S9: that they had that could get under the bridge. Yeah. 423 00:20:51,109 --> 00:20:55,070 S9: And then from time to time they would come under 424 00:20:55,070 --> 00:20:57,649 S9: the bridge and they would make a nuisance of themselves. 425 00:20:58,010 --> 00:21:00,710 S3: Yeah. In what way? Just feed the crowd. 426 00:21:00,740 --> 00:21:04,970 S9: Well, it's not just feed the crocs. It's. It's actually 427 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,889 S9: shadowing our vessels and getting in front of them. You know, 428 00:21:09,890 --> 00:21:12,050 S9: seeing a croc out in the distance and getting in 429 00:21:12,050 --> 00:21:13,010 S9: front of them. Oh. 430 00:21:13,010 --> 00:21:15,240 S4: Crocodiles problems. 431 00:21:15,290 --> 00:21:15,979 S9: Yeah. That's it. 432 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:20,510 S4: Flying croc hogs. Well, are you familiar with Wes over 433 00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:22,100 S4: at Spectacular? Tony? 434 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,520 S9: Yeah, I know, yeah. 435 00:21:23,540 --> 00:21:26,869 S4: Okay, well, he would be the other participant in this 436 00:21:27,210 --> 00:21:30,560 S4: summit that we're holding. Would you be willing? I know 437 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,020 S4: you're going to be on the Sunshine Coast, but would 438 00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:37,460 S4: you be willing to zoom in, like, virtually? Join us, 439 00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:43,490 S4: perhaps via zoom or FaceTime to sit down, look Wes 440 00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:46,760 S4: in the eye and just go? It's been a wild ride, 441 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,090 S4: but I officially come here in the name of peace, 442 00:21:50,090 --> 00:21:53,390 S4: and you give each other one compliment and we all 443 00:21:53,390 --> 00:21:57,040 S4: shake hands and peace is struck in the north. Um. 444 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,540 S9: It I guess I don't know. I'd probably like to 445 00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:04,189 S9: think that one through a little bit. 446 00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:06,050 S3: All right. Yeah, you can take that on notice and 447 00:22:06,050 --> 00:22:09,560 S3: have a think about it. And and then hopefully on 448 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,690 S3: Saturday at around about 330 we hear you log in. 449 00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:18,320 S3: And I mean, if you'd like Tony to make it 450 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,810 S3: even feel like you're there, we could get a mannequin 451 00:22:20,810 --> 00:22:23,450 S3: and replace the head with a computer. So it's just 452 00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:26,200 S3: your head and we could dress the mannequin like you dress. How? 453 00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:28,040 S3: What kind of outfit do you normally wear? 454 00:22:28,859 --> 00:22:33,080 S9: So I'm a dreadful dresser. Okay. Um. No. 455 00:22:33,150 --> 00:22:34,230 S3: Would that would that help? 456 00:22:34,869 --> 00:22:36,090 S9: No. Not really. 457 00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:40,230 S4: Well, you still might do that. I mean, just for the. 458 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,030 S4: Just for the spectacle. 459 00:22:42,990 --> 00:22:44,100 S3: It would look great. 460 00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:46,560 S4: Yeah, you do that, we'll get a mannequin. Head is 461 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,370 S4: a laptop. You pop up there. And what we're really. 462 00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:54,379 S4: Ideally the scenario would be, we'll say a few short remarks, 463 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:59,040 S4: a formal recognizing that any previous shenanigans have now been 464 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,889 S4: put to bed to close the chapter to this great 465 00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:03,180 S4: territory story. 466 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,130 S9: Mm hmm. Leave it hanging with me till Friday. 467 00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:08,790 S4: Yeah. 468 00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:12,840 S3: Can I say it's not a no? You might join 469 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,740 S3: us on Saturday. 470 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,660 S9: Yeah I might. Yeah. I think that's probably the best 471 00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:21,230 S9: way to do it. And I'll. I'll make a decision 472 00:23:21,470 --> 00:23:24,200 S9: to what I'm going to do probably Friday night. So 473 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,140 S9: that is still you know, it doesn't it gives you 474 00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:28,129 S9: enough time to. 475 00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:30,840 S11: I think. Yeah. Give it to give it. 476 00:23:30,930 --> 00:23:33,000 S9: Give the story a decent burial. 477 00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:33,930 S11: Well, we'll. 478 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,310 S4: We'll be there. We'll be there in the dry scrub 479 00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:43,020 S4: land on Saturday afternoon. We'll hopefully still have Wes. We'll 480 00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:48,960 S4: wait for your call. Obviously, we can't force your attendance, 481 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,050 S4: but you know where to find us at 330 on 482 00:23:52,050 --> 00:23:53,130 S4: Saturday afternoon. 483 00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:56,390 S9: Yeah, well, that's that's probably the best way. 484 00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:58,620 S4: Love it. Peace is always a positive step. 485 00:24:00,510 --> 00:24:03,120 S3: Thanks so much, mate, for taking our call. We will 486 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,060 S3: wait with bated breath to see what happens on the weekend. 487 00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:09,120 S3: But take care yourself, mate. Okay. All right. 488 00:24:09,210 --> 00:24:10,560 S4: Good on your time. Bye. 489 00:24:10,859 --> 00:24:12,870 S9: Take em by facing the north. 490 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,250 S4: Oh, I thought it was going to be more of 491 00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:23,280 S4: a yes. Yes. I'll be honest with you. All righty. 492 00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:25,860 S4: Thought it was a formality, to be honest. Exciting. 493 00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:32,520 S2: So Tony, the owner of original, had made a lukewarm 494 00:24:32,850 --> 00:24:38,550 S2: sort of definitely, maybe commitment to join the boys on 495 00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:43,379 S2: zoom at 330 Saturday for peace talks with Wes. 496 00:24:43,710 --> 00:24:47,340 S9: I don't know. I'd probably like to think that one 497 00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:48,300 S9: through a little bit. 498 00:24:48,450 --> 00:24:51,780 S2: And he really liked the idea of the mannequin dressed 499 00:24:51,780 --> 00:24:57,900 S2: like him with an iPad for a face. Oh, surely 500 00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:01,109 S2: it was all pointing to him turning up on zoom? 501 00:25:01,350 --> 00:25:02,410 S9: Yeah, I might. 502 00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:06,000 S2: Well, that's good enough for this podcast. So it was 503 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,840 S2: time to hit the dirt roads out to spectacular croc 504 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,410 S2: jumping tours to try and lock in. Wes. 505 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,670 S4: All right. And we've just pulled down the three kilometer 506 00:25:18,670 --> 00:25:24,040 S4: corrugated dirt track to your liking. Not great to get 507 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,790 S4: here to spectacular croc jumping tours. Yes. 508 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,649 S3: Jack keeps asking, can we stay till Wednesday? And I 509 00:25:29,650 --> 00:25:30,639 S3: don't know why. 510 00:25:30,820 --> 00:25:34,540 S4: Jack. Why? What's happening Wednesday night at the. At the pub? No. 511 00:25:34,930 --> 00:25:36,760 S4: Why do you want. Why did you book a flight 512 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,180 S4: back for Wednesday morning and ask if you could do 513 00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:43,660 S4: your radio show from here on Thursday? I don't know 514 00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:46,630 S4: what's not. What's chippy night that you can't tell. Oh, 515 00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:47,950 S4: I know what you were saying. I mean. 516 00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:51,700 S7: I actually don't know what happens on Wednesday night. Oh, 517 00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:52,240 S7: I heard. 518 00:25:53,260 --> 00:25:55,360 S4: You don't have to do your rehearsals to us. Just 519 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,400 S4: say it for the first time to Bianca, and just 520 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,690 S4: say it as if you believe it. 521 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,470 S3: Jack. Well, you weren't there when we heard from Renee. No, but. 522 00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:05,710 S7: From from the gig.

I get on all right, 700 00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:48,540 S12: like I don't have to duck the next time I 701 00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:49,470 S12: see him. Well, we. 702 00:33:49,470 --> 00:33:53,100 S4: Hope that could be this afternoon. Whereas because we're here, 703 00:33:53,130 --> 00:33:55,800 S4: we're on the river. We've come to make peace. Even 704 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,300 S4: though he's not in business currently, we still think peace 705 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:01,740 S4: is a worthy pursuit. 706 00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:02,340 S12: Oh, absolutely. 707 00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:02,820 S3: Bygones. 708 00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:03,750 S4: Do you think it is? 709 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:04,990 S3: Well he does, yes. 710 00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:07,320 S4: We said yes. So it's not just a trip so 711 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,970 S4: we can come up here and see crocodiles and ride 712 00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:11,400 S4: jet skis and stay at the casino. It's a real 713 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,450 S4: peace trip, and we want it to happen this afternoon 714 00:34:15,450 --> 00:34:18,479 S4: in about about half an hour's time. All right, now 715 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,810 S4: we've got our location. You're willing to be there is. Absolutely. 716 00:34:22,110 --> 00:34:24,000 S4: Tony says he's thinking about it. 717 00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:25,800 S12: That'll be interesting. 718 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,239 S4: I've got five different plaques that will celebrate the various 719 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,780 S4: outcomes depending on whether or not Tony was there. But 720 00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:36,509 S4: I needed you there, whereas we needed you there because 721 00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:38,670 S4: we can't have a peace deal without any side of 722 00:34:38,670 --> 00:34:39,450 S4: the parties there. 723 00:34:39,450 --> 00:34:40,290 S12: Let's let's do it. 724 00:34:40,290 --> 00:34:42,330 S4: Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. We'll finish 725 00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:44,520 S4: the tour. We'll hop off and go and get organised. 726 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,190 S4: Fingers crossed Tony shows up. Let it be known. We 727 00:34:47,190 --> 00:34:48,860 S4: can still do a peace deal with one side. Andy, 728 00:34:48,870 --> 00:34:49,650 S4: do you agree? 729 00:34:49,650 --> 00:34:52,710 S3: Oh, totally. And. And can I just say spectacular out here? 730 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520 S4: It is spectacular out here. Can't recommend it. Hollywood. 731 00:34:55,530 --> 00:34:57,540 S12: Well it's a very original tour. 732 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,359 S4: Well that is debatable, but. All right. Thanks, boys. We'll 733 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,170 S4: see you at the peace deal. 734 00:35:04,170 --> 00:35:04,500 S3: All right. 735 00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:05,730 S4: Look forward to this, mate. 736 00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:14,670 S2: To recap, the Hamish and Andy podcast is on an 737 00:35:14,670 --> 00:35:18,840 S2: epic mission in the Northern Territory to bring peace in 738 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,950 S2: the North and end a decades long feud between two 739 00:35:22,950 --> 00:35:27,870 S2: Jumping Croc tours. Anticipation was high for the 3:30 p.m. 740 00:35:27,870 --> 00:35:32,790 S2: Peace Summit, which was to be attended by Wes from spectacular. Absolutely. 741 00:35:32,790 --> 00:35:36,200 S2: And maybe by Tony from original. 742 00:35:36,210 --> 00:35:37,069 S9: Yeah, I might. 743 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,819 S2: So in the shadow of the disputed Territory Bridge, we 744 00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:45,569 S2: join our intrepid peace mission from the carpark of the 745 00:35:45,570 --> 00:35:49,890 S2: recently closed original croc jumping tours. 746 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,719 S3: Where the original. Yeah. Are you nervous? 747 00:35:52,739 --> 00:35:54,600 S4: Yeah, we can see. We can see. The boarded up 748 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,120 S4: original croc jumping to is in the background. 749 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,630 S3: Wes was happy to come to original turf. He's happy 750 00:36:00,630 --> 00:36:02,670 S3: to play an away game, which was nice of him. 751 00:36:02,670 --> 00:36:04,650 S7: Yeah, especially because the guy who's playing a home game 752 00:36:04,650 --> 00:36:05,310 S7: isn't here. 753 00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:09,750 S4: That is rare. Isn't it rare for the home team 754 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:12,660 S4: to take a holiday? Yeah, for the big match. However, 755 00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:15,029 S4: we push on with negotiations. Andy. 756 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:17,460 S3: 15 minutes. We've got, by the way, 15 minutes. And 757 00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:20,850 S3: then we either we either know he meant to call 758 00:36:20,850 --> 00:36:22,410 S3: him or 15 minutes, he either picks up or he doesn't. 759 00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:25,890 S4: Pace or not, I can't believe. Just take a moment 760 00:36:25,890 --> 00:36:27,900 S4: for a second to think about how long this has 761 00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:30,390 S4: been and how many options we had to Peter this 762 00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:33,430 S4: thing out and we didn't take him. That's really like, 763 00:36:33,450 --> 00:36:36,270 S4: that's one victory for for the show, isn't it? Is 764 00:36:36,270 --> 00:36:36,689 S4: there a plaque. 765 00:36:36,690 --> 00:36:37,590 S3: That reflects that. 766 00:36:39,090 --> 00:36:42,210 S4: The blocks are pretty triumphant, right? Okay. Well here's the 767 00:36:42,330 --> 00:36:46,500 S4: here's the thing. Yeah. I got us five plaques that 768 00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:51,989 S4: I think cover off most of the permutations that we 769 00:36:51,989 --> 00:36:54,540 S4: could face. I realized I didn't have one that covers 770 00:36:54,540 --> 00:36:57,750 S4: off with saying I'm not coming either. Okay. But you 771 00:36:57,750 --> 00:37:01,919 S4: know what? I might I might actually have that. Okay. 772 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,820 S4: Plaque number one, if things go really well, we will 773 00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:09,870 S4: lay this plaque down in 15 minutes time on this site. 774 00:37:09,870 --> 00:37:13,170 S4: A business piece was negotiated between spectacular croc jumping tours 775 00:37:13,170 --> 00:37:15,780 S4: and original croc jumping tours by the Hamish and Eddie podcast. 776 00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:19,380 S4: The piece is valid regardless of operational status of either company. 777 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,190 S4: Date of peace mid to late 2023. Now I did 778 00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:26,340 S4: that so in future generations they don't pin the date 779 00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:28,320 S4: on us to go. Hang on. Didn't original close the 780 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,160 S4: weekend before so let's just keep the dates vague. That's plaque. 781 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,870 S3: Keep that on hand because that's the one. 782 00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:36,479 S4: That's the one. That's what we hope to lay down 783 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,920 S4: as we try. 784 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,540 S3: Tony for the fifth time. 785 00:37:39,540 --> 00:37:39,840 S4: Yeah. 786 00:37:40,350 --> 00:37:42,780 S3: He hasn't picked up. So we can start to probably 787 00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:43,920 S3: put that plaque back. 788 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,930 S4: If we can't get Tony on the phone, we then 789 00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:49,140 S4: move to this. On this site, a small business piece 790 00:37:49,140 --> 00:37:51,960 S4: was proposed by the Hamish Nandi Podcast and two local 791 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,560 S4: croc jumping operations. Sadly, due to logistical difficulties, not everyone 792 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,260 S4: could be present to achieve a definitive result. But the 793 00:37:58,260 --> 00:38:01,050 S4: feeling on this day was certainly one of peace which counts. 794 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:09,390 S4: Great date of feeling mid to late 2023. Lock number three. Yes, 795 00:38:09,690 --> 00:38:13,200 S4: this keeps it vague. Okay. On this site, the concept 796 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,739 S4: of business peace between spectacular tours and original camping tours 797 00:38:16,739 --> 00:38:21,180 S4: was discussed and celebrated as a concept. I was facilitated 798 00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:22,420 S4: by the ABC 90 podcast. 799 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,370 S3: Neither of them rock up. 800 00:38:23,489 --> 00:38:25,290 S4: That's if neither of them rock up. And it's also 801 00:38:25,290 --> 00:38:28,380 S4: if they turn up and they say, where's they're not 802 00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:29,310 S4: that keen. 803 00:38:29,310 --> 00:38:31,110 S7: Yeah. Or they don't give compliments or something. 804 00:38:31,590 --> 00:38:33,000 S4: So they're not willing to follow through on all the 805 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,910 S4: stipulations of the piece. But we can still say without lying, 806 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:38,460 S4: it was discussed and celebrated as a concept. 807 00:38:38,460 --> 00:38:42,870 S3: If one calls the other one, that's. Yeah, yeah, that's 808 00:38:42,870 --> 00:38:44,070 S3: what we're reaching for because. 809 00:38:44,070 --> 00:38:47,670 S4: We'll be celebrating pieces of concept. Yes. And the discussions 810 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:49,950 S4: were facilitated by us. So that's a good note. I 811 00:38:49,950 --> 00:38:50,670 S4: feel like we've got all. 812 00:38:50,670 --> 00:38:52,230 S3: Bases covered, but I still see two. 813 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:56,859 S4: More plaques. Yeah. Okay. On this site, plaques. Number four, 814 00:38:56,860 --> 00:38:59,190 S4: a small business piece was rejected by one or more 815 00:38:59,190 --> 00:39:01,530 S4: parties involved in the podcast. And that's more if we 816 00:39:01,530 --> 00:39:03,660 S4: want to go honest broker in the piece in the 817 00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:06,299 S4: North croc jumping business peace talks date of rejection. This 818 00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:08,850 S4: is actually the only plaque that covers a flat out loss. 819 00:39:08,969 --> 00:39:09,209 S13: Yeah. 820 00:39:09,870 --> 00:39:11,910 S4: Which I just thought of. Throw it in there as 821 00:39:11,910 --> 00:39:13,710 S4: an option. I'm not I'm not a fan of it 822 00:39:13,710 --> 00:39:16,200 S4: because it paints us like a failure. Failure? Yeah. But 823 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,819 S4: I don't mind. The idea. 824 00:39:18,540 --> 00:39:19,500 S3: Is not I don't. 825 00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:21,420 S4: Mind the idea of being the world's, I would say 826 00:39:21,420 --> 00:39:23,460 S4: only plaque that commemorates. 827 00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:24,300 S7: Something that it. 828 00:39:24,780 --> 00:39:25,350 S3: Didn't like. 829 00:39:25,710 --> 00:39:28,440 S4: On this site. We invited the Prime Minister to come 830 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,810 S4: and open the building. He couldn't make it. I like 831 00:39:33,810 --> 00:39:36,180 S4: the idea of a very honest. That's good. Yes, final 832 00:39:36,180 --> 00:39:39,870 S4: plaque is just the best. Not lying I could think of. Okay, right. 833 00:39:39,870 --> 00:39:42,780 S4: This makes it sound no matter what the result. This 834 00:39:42,780 --> 00:39:45,660 S4: just makes it sound like a win for us boys. Regardless, 835 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,480 S4: on this side, the Hamish and Andy podcast weighed up 836 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,900 S4: all available evidence in the rivalry between original croc jumping 837 00:39:51,930 --> 00:39:54,719 S4: tours and spectacular jumping tours, and we're very happy to 838 00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:00,750 S4: triumphantly proclaim peace in the North. That's perfect date of 839 00:40:00,750 --> 00:40:04,140 S4: triumph mid to late 2023. So. So when you dig 840 00:40:04,140 --> 00:40:05,790 S4: into it, all we have to do is weigh up 841 00:40:05,790 --> 00:40:08,700 S4: the evidence and see if we were still happy to 842 00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:11,360 S4: try and. Simply proclaim peace in the North. 843 00:40:11,870 --> 00:40:14,180 S7: And I get a good feeling that we will keep. 844 00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:16,460 S4: Well, let's just see which one we go with. 845 00:40:16,469 --> 00:40:19,520 S3: Yes. Well, let's set up a table outside. We've got 846 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,270 S3: a mannequin. Yeah. 847 00:40:20,900 --> 00:40:22,460 S4: You got a mannequin. We're going to gaffer tape the 848 00:40:22,460 --> 00:40:23,360 S4: iPad to its head. 849 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,910 S3: And I think we've got the best replica we can 850 00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:28,280 S3: of Tony's clothes, so I think we might not even 851 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,000 S3: tell the difference. 852 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,820 S4: Oh, yeah, he should fall for it. You guys ready 853 00:40:34,820 --> 00:40:37,850 S4: to bring peace to the north? Yes, yes, yes, boys. 854 00:40:37,850 --> 00:40:40,190 S3: Peace to all. Peace to us. Jet ski to. It 855 00:40:40,190 --> 00:40:41,629 S3: is also into our jet ski. 856 00:40:41,630 --> 00:40:43,820 S4: Soon. Then we go check in at the castle. Okay? 857 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:50,900 S2: And so it was time. Mannequin in place. Zoom meeting online. 858 00:40:50,900 --> 00:40:54,830 S2: Agents of peace at the ready. All the boys needed 859 00:40:54,830 --> 00:40:59,270 S2: now was both Tony and Wes to come together in 860 00:40:59,270 --> 00:41:01,760 S2: the name of peace in the North. 861 00:41:02,180 --> 00:41:04,460 S4: Here we are. We're at the negotiating table. Where's? He's 862 00:41:04,460 --> 00:41:07,280 S4: not here yet. The zoom waiting room is waiting. Ready? 863 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,989 S4: We're just. We've just set everything up. We've got a 864 00:41:08,989 --> 00:41:11,690 S4: giant crocs skull on the table. I think. 865 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,920 S3: A perfectly portioned mannequin for Tony with a shirt that 866 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,060 S3: he would normally wear. 867 00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:21,110 S4: And iPad gaffer taped to the head of the mannequins. 868 00:41:21,110 --> 00:41:24,230 S3: Where's this arriving? Yes. God, yes, it would have. That 869 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:25,910 S3: would have been the all time stitch up if he 870 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:28,010 S3: just told us to our face that he was going 871 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:29,060 S3: to come and then didn't turn up. 872 00:41:29,150 --> 00:41:30,830 S4: We have the plaque for it though we do have. 873 00:41:31,310 --> 00:41:33,230 S4: We do the plaque. We have the plaque for it. 874 00:41:33,230 --> 00:41:35,000 S4: What have we got, Jack? You've got the plaques. 875 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,580 S7: I've got all five plaques. And from here we've got 876 00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:39,620 S7: a great view of the actual bridge as well, which 877 00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:41,870 S7: is the dividing point between the two. You can understand 878 00:41:41,870 --> 00:41:42,420 S7: it to us, Jack. 879 00:41:42,469 --> 00:41:44,720 S3: Understand why now? We wouldn't do a meeting on it. 880 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,240 S3: It's like a thoroughfare, semi-trailer freeway. It'd be. 881 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,430 S7: No make no sense for this table. And these chairs 882 00:41:49,430 --> 00:41:50,839 S7: set up to be in the middle of the bridge? 883 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,520 S4: No. What? It makes sense for you to be strapping 884 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,330 S4: C4 to it right now to blow it up the. 885 00:41:55,489 --> 00:41:57,620 S7: I don't know, having been here and seeing that people 886 00:41:57,620 --> 00:41:58,910 S7: use it to get from one side of the river 887 00:41:58,910 --> 00:42:00,739 S7: to the other, I don't think we should blow it up. 888 00:42:00,830 --> 00:42:01,310 S7: One of those. 889 00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:06,980 S4: Bridges, Jack has positioned himself on a folding chair so 890 00:42:06,980 --> 00:42:09,050 S4: he can look directly at the bridge without having to 891 00:42:09,050 --> 00:42:10,430 S4: turn to his left. 892 00:42:10,730 --> 00:42:13,610 S3: Still nursing that slight neck injury. 893 00:42:13,910 --> 00:42:14,930 S7: He's getting better, though. 894 00:42:15,050 --> 00:42:16,489 S6: That's good. He comes with. 895 00:42:17,090 --> 00:42:18,710 S3: It. Comes with thank you mate. 896 00:42:18,980 --> 00:42:20,390 S4: Thank you for coming to the talks. 897 00:42:20,780 --> 00:42:23,270 S3: We have two minutes from when we said we'd try 898 00:42:23,270 --> 00:42:26,450 S3: and connect Tony if he decides to connect, whereas just quickly. 899 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:28,130 S3: Does that look a lot like Tony? 900 00:42:28,489 --> 00:42:30,970 S12: Yeah. If you squint hard enough. Yeah, that's pretty close. 901 00:42:31,010 --> 00:42:31,640 S4: A shirt like that. 902 00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:35,089 S3: Okay. We've set up a zoom. He said he'd lock. 903 00:42:35,090 --> 00:42:35,540 S3: Oh my God. 904 00:42:35,930 --> 00:42:38,150 S4: Oh, there we are. Tony, can you hear us? 905 00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:40,100 S9: I certainly can. 906 00:42:40,100 --> 00:42:41,000 S4: Oh my God. 907 00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:46,070 S3: Tony, can you see us? Yes.

Jeez. 913 00:42:54,110 --> 00:42:56,989 S4: This is beautiful. This is. This is lovely. 914 00:42:57,020 --> 00:43:00,110 S3: Just quickly. Tony, how are you feeling?

We followed the dramas. Our 921 00:43:25,489 --> 00:43:28,400 S4: listeners have followed the dramas and the stories, the stories 922 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:33,230 S4: of decades of shenanigans. But today, I think there's a 923 00:43:33,230 --> 00:43:34,820 S4: wonderful mood in the air as we put that all 924 00:43:34,820 --> 00:43:35,600 S4: to bed.

There's a peace in the north. 970 00:45:36,500 --> 00:45:39,200 S15: I did not expect Tony to be triumphantly raising his 971 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:44,120 S15: arm up. Joan, you're a legend. Whoa! 972 00:45:46,580 --> 00:45:52,000 S2: So, with peace very much intact. And the mannequin? Less so, 973 00:45:52,010 --> 00:45:56,060 S2: all that remained was to lay a plaque commemorating the 974 00:45:56,060 --> 00:46:00,230 S2: heroic efforts of our peace force in the north. 975 00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:01,370 S3: What plaque did you choose? 976 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:02,720 S4: We went with.
