WEBVTT - Hamish & Andy 2023 Ep 237 0:00:02.570 --> 0:00:04.250 A listener production. 0:00:05.420 --> 0:00:10.549 Crocks rocks, prehistoric animals capable of leaping from the water 0:00:10.550 --> 0:00:13.010 to eat a raw chicken off a stick, to the 0:00:13.010 --> 0:00:18.020 delight of tourists in a nearby boat. Apart from the chicken, 0:00:18.290 --> 0:00:24.299 a situation in which everyone wins. All. So you think 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.110 these displays have been the lifeblood of two of the 0:00:28.110 --> 0:00:33.750 Northern Territory's proudest businesses for decades spectacular croc jumping tours 0:00:33.750 --> 0:00:40.229 and original croc jumping tours. However, sadly, the small business 0:00:40.229 --> 0:00:46.170 waters between the businesses have historically been anything but calm. 0:00:46.620 --> 0:00:52.409 Years of high jinks and tricks, some verging from cheeky 0:00:52.409 --> 0:00:57.060 to dirty, have created a rift between these two dragons 0:00:57.060 --> 0:01:02.190 of the airborne croc tourism game, a rift many thought 0:01:02.190 --> 0:01:08.520 could never be repaired. But not the Hamish and Andy podcast. 0:01:08.850 --> 0:01:12.780 Refusing to take the several good opportunities to let this 0:01:12.780 --> 0:01:17.789 story arc Peter out. The boys now venture to Darwin 0:01:17.970 --> 0:01:25.140 to achieve what many believe impossible a truce. Can Hamish 0:01:25.140 --> 0:01:30.150 and Andy do it? Can they bring peace in the North? 0:01:30.450 --> 0:01:35.039 And then, if time permits, and only if time permits, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:38.490 go on a two hour jet ski tour and have 0:01:38.490 --> 0:01:43.910 a big night out at the Caz. We'll find out soon. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.620 But first, let's catch you all up and go back 0:01:48.620 --> 0:01:54.620 in time to May 2023 when on a routine Andy 0:01:54.620 --> 0:01:59.450 Ellie trip to Darwin, some afternoon entertainment was required. 0:01:59.450 --> 0:02:01.910 We decided to go on a crocodile jumping to jumping. 0:02:02.130 --> 0:02:04.220 Yes, you get dirt bikes and you jump over. 0:02:04.620 --> 0:02:07.310 No no no, you're in a boat and the crocs 0:02:07.310 --> 0:02:08.030 do the jumping. 0:02:08.030 --> 0:02:12.320 The naming of the two tours and their origins was intriguing. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.160 There were two tours to choose from, a company called 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:21.350 the Original Croc Jumping Tour. Okay, that's a whole lot 0:02:21.350 --> 0:02:23.510 of chickens. A lot more original. 0:02:24.230 --> 0:02:24.730 Content. 0:02:25.820 --> 0:02:30.950 Or its direct competitor spectacular croc jumping tour. 0:02:31.130 --> 0:02:33.619 If you were opening a one of a kind tour, 0:02:33.620 --> 0:02:36.560 you would never think to call it original first. Yes, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.440 without competition, and you could never call it original if 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.300 you were second to market because you're not. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.650 Yes, and it was fun to imagine some decades old 0:02:45.650 --> 0:02:49.880 feud at two ends of a bridge over the Adelaide River. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.889 If it's war, it's war. We're going to call ourselves 0:02:51.889 --> 0:02:54.770 the original croc jumping tours brackets. Who also happened to 0:02:54.770 --> 0:02:55.309 be spectators. 0:02:56.060 --> 0:02:56.340 Yeah. 0:02:57.770 --> 0:03:01.220 Oh, or to go extra teeth like to remove your 0:03:01.220 --> 0:03:04.940 hands completely of any wrongdoing. You just include quotes from 0:03:04.940 --> 0:03:08.690 customers that all include the word spectacular. Like the most 0:03:08.690 --> 0:03:11.240 spectacular thing I've ever seen. Boy oh boy. Now this 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.270 is spectacular. I've never seen anything so spectacular. 0:03:14.750 --> 0:03:18.980 But the boys soon discovered that reality would deliver them. 0:03:18.980 --> 0:03:22.100 Just the river rivalry they were after. 0:03:22.190 --> 0:03:24.110 I got an anonymous tip that came in my side. 0:03:24.110 --> 0:03:25.850 The fence. She says. Look, I work in the territory 0:03:25.850 --> 0:03:28.670 in the tourism game and they are big rivals, these 0:03:28.669 --> 0:03:31.190 two companies. Yeah, we've got a trade show each year 0:03:31.190 --> 0:03:33.140 and they have to separate them. So there's no beef 0:03:33.740 --> 0:03:34.400 at the trade show. 0:03:34.820 --> 0:03:35.810 It's a rivalry, but. 0:03:35.810 --> 0:03:38.120 It's not like like it's not a dictatorship. Where are 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.950 you going to go in? Like someone's going to get 0:03:39.950 --> 0:03:41.750 shot for crossing the line. Like it's not going to 0:03:41.750 --> 0:03:45.260 happen like that. In saying that, there definitely would be 0:03:45.260 --> 0:03:47.840 a like, you don't come on my turf. I don't 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.810 go on your turf. There's an understanding. It's like the DMZ, 0:03:50.810 --> 0:03:51.950 you're not crossing the line. 0:03:51.950 --> 0:03:55.550 And the bombshells from Bill didn't end there. 0:03:55.550 --> 0:03:58.880 The original fun fact is not actually the original. 0:03:59.300 --> 0:03:59.640 Oh. 0:03:59.900 --> 0:04:01.710 Oh, hang on, this is huge. 0:04:02.180 --> 0:04:05.750 Hang on, hang on a second. So is spectacular. The 0:04:05.750 --> 0:04:07.580 original spectacular. 0:04:07.580 --> 0:04:08.630 Is the original. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.160 Then what is going on with the rail? How are 0:04:11.180 --> 0:04:13.220 the original calling themselves the original? 0:04:13.220 --> 0:04:14.960 Your guess would be as good as mine. 0:04:15.350 --> 0:04:19.700 Information started to come in from informants left, right and 0:04:19.700 --> 0:04:23.390 centre and some clarification was offered. 0:04:23.390 --> 0:04:26.870 There was two going at it Frontier and Adelaide River. 0:04:26.870 --> 0:04:29.510 Frontier went out of business to Adelaide River. Have called 0:04:29.510 --> 0:04:32.180 themselves a wrench at all, but they've only slapped original 0:04:32.180 --> 0:04:34.010 on the on their name. 0:04:34.010 --> 0:04:35.240 When in spectacular. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.450 Came it came on so but they still more original 0:04:38.450 --> 0:04:40.460 than spectacular I think so. 0:04:40.460 --> 0:04:47.060 That's splitting hairs. But and also that's obviously not as 0:04:47.060 --> 0:04:48.530 catchy a slogan. 0:04:48.529 --> 0:04:49.130 No. Yeah. 0:04:49.130 --> 0:04:51.560 More original, more original than the other guys. Maybe not 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.700 the original, but certainly more original. Now you get into 0:04:55.700 --> 0:04:58.760 shades of originality. That is interesting. But the Croc. 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:03.470 Wars got even more interesting with information from a source 0:05:03.470 --> 0:05:06.049 deep within the NT government. 0:05:06.050 --> 0:05:08.960 Back in the day, things got so bad between the 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.130 operators we had to officially step in and mediate. The 0:05:13.130 --> 0:05:16.040 bridge is in fact now an official no man's land 0:05:16.430 --> 0:05:20.419 and neither shall pass onto other side. The person who 0:05:20.420 --> 0:05:22.820 said that there is a big rub between the operators 0:05:22.820 --> 0:05:25.820 wasn't exaggerating. Back in the old territory days, there were 0:05:25.820 --> 0:05:27.830 lots of shenanigans going on between them. 0:05:28.100 --> 0:05:32.990 And if this show loves anything, it's shenanigans. 0:05:32.990 --> 0:05:36.710 Sources have reported to me that in around the Covid times, 0:05:36.950 --> 0:05:40.190 there was some border dealings in shenanigans with signs. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:41.710 Oh, so the. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.360 Defacing of signs or. 0:05:43.370 --> 0:05:45.710 The defacing of signs? Allegedly, the. 0:05:45.710 --> 0:05:49.970 Pods insider Kip also got some Intel of incursions into 0:05:49.970 --> 0:05:51.860 each other's territory. Original. 0:05:51.860 --> 0:05:54.529 What they said to me was they're happy where they are, 0:05:54.529 --> 0:05:57.740 but they do go north from time to time. Yep, spectacular. 0:05:57.740 --> 0:05:59.840 Only went up north from what I could see. 0:06:00.170 --> 0:06:02.870 You get the feeling from spectacular that when original does 0:06:02.870 --> 0:06:05.000 go north of the bridge that's kicking the hornet's nest 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.220 a bit and spectacular. Doesn't like that. 0:06:07.670 --> 0:06:09.320 That's the feeling on the water hand. Yeah. 0:06:12.140 --> 0:06:18.409 In any investigation, misinformation sows doubt and insecurities can start 0:06:18.410 --> 0:06:23.480 to rise. But anonymous emails help steady the boat. 0:06:23.810 --> 0:06:26.900 Yes. Don't give up on the croc thing. You're closer 0:06:26.900 --> 0:06:33.490 than you think. It's just it's out there and it's simmering. Yes. 0:06:33.500 --> 0:06:35.029 And people are thinking about it. 0:06:35.029 --> 0:06:37.730 And the more the boys thought about it, the more 0:06:37.730 --> 0:06:39.860 they knew what they had to do. 0:06:39.890 --> 0:06:41.710 Wouldn't it be an incredible thing? They're in the hat 0:06:41.710 --> 0:06:44.200 of the Hamish Nandy show. If we could travel to 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.120 the territory and negotiate a peace deal. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.950 Bring peace to the region. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.490 To the territories. That's our best shot at a Nobel 0:06:51.490 --> 0:06:52.080 Peace Prize. 0:06:52.089 --> 0:06:54.160 Like bringing down the Berlin Wall. Do we bring down 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:54.850 the bridge? 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.000 Oh, no. No, you need that. You need that. It's 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.680 one of them anyway. 0:06:59.950 --> 0:07:01.960 And the last thing we've got to say is may 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:07.330 the bridge forever be down. What are you doing? That bridge, 0:07:07.330 --> 0:07:08.080 you girls. 0:07:09.130 --> 0:07:12.790 Having decided not to blow it up, the bridge did 0:07:12.790 --> 0:07:14.530 seem like a focal point. 0:07:14.530 --> 0:07:17.350 We hold some sort of party on the bridge in 0:07:17.350 --> 0:07:19.570 the middle of the bridge. They come and shake hands. 0:07:19.570 --> 0:07:22.780 The two tours and then the town celebrates and we 0:07:22.780 --> 0:07:23.860 all party into the night. 0:07:23.890 --> 0:07:26.500 It's like it's North Korea. It's very north South Korea 0:07:26.500 --> 0:07:29.170 that you meet. Or Berlin really barely feels like a bridge. 0:07:29.170 --> 0:07:30.250 Are you guys envisaging. 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.780 Basically the bridge from like Cold War movies between East 0:07:34.780 --> 0:07:35.560 and West Berlin? 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:40.990 Yeah, right. It's like a very well used highway. 0:07:41.230 --> 0:07:42.520 Like it's a road. 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.970 Bridge. It's a road bridge. Cars like we're in the 0:07:45.970 --> 0:07:48.100 middle of it. Cars are going at 130. 0:07:48.860 --> 0:07:49.990 I'm right. It's a freeway. Yeah. 0:07:50.020 --> 0:07:51.520 It's like it's quite a. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.230 I feel like a jack. But I still like the 0:07:53.230 --> 0:07:55.720 idea that maybe made under the bridge. Can we do 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.890 that and bury a hatchet? 0:07:57.050 --> 0:07:58.000 That's where the crocs live. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:06.990 And so a peace mission was decided upon. Flights were booked, 0:08:06.990 --> 0:08:11.220 sunset jet ski tours were arranged. The whole team was 0:08:11.220 --> 0:08:15.930 Darwin bound on the first weekend in November until. 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:20.760 Press release from the original Adelaide River Queen jumping croc cruises. 0:08:21.420 --> 0:08:23.700 So the original the original. The original for short. 0:08:23.700 --> 0:08:28.860 Yep the original it is the original jumping crocodile cruises 0:08:28.860 --> 0:08:32.790 will close on the 31st of October 2023, after 38 0:08:32.790 --> 0:08:34.320 years of operation on the Adelaide River. 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:35.729 Unbelievable. 0:08:39.130 --> 0:08:41.559 We still going? We just take your holiday. I mean. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.390 We booked it and we got so excited. We were 0:08:43.390 --> 0:08:46.420 looking at, like, again, it's like nothing. 0:08:46.490 --> 0:08:50.050 It's really the first for St Peter out. Usually where. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:50.709 It is, it is. 0:08:50.980 --> 0:08:52.170 In charge of our Peter out. 0:08:52.179 --> 0:08:54.970 We're for the first time ever where the opposite of 0:08:54.970 --> 0:08:57.760 a Peter out. We're we're the ones clinging on and 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.510 someone else has opened the door in Peter's left hand. 0:09:01.510 --> 0:09:05.800 Cling on. They did. They found any excuse to go. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.890 But it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't create peace 0:09:08.890 --> 0:09:11.470 between the two businesses. There'd be a nice way to close. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:12.970 One doesn't exist. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:13.450 Yeah. 0:09:14.020 --> 0:09:16.660 It does seem like an easy peace deal. Just. Just 0:09:16.660 --> 0:09:19.270 as he's taking his cardboard box full of stuff to 0:09:19.270 --> 0:09:22.150 his car. And, Tony, do you agree to peace? Yeah, mate. Whatever. 0:09:22.150 --> 0:09:25.929 See it? Well, we got it, we got it, we 0:09:25.929 --> 0:09:30.309 got peace. Sure, mate. Have 100 of them. You beauty. 0:09:30.790 --> 0:09:32.650 We did it. We did it. 0:09:34.570 --> 0:09:37.840 But nothing would stand in the way of these brave 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.130 warriors of peace. 0:09:39.130 --> 0:09:41.870 We've had to think about it. And we're still going 0:09:41.870 --> 0:09:42.890 to go up. Yay! 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.570 Jack wants the tour. Jack wants the chances. 0:09:47.870 --> 0:09:51.079 And what we'll do up there, we don't know. Will we. 0:09:52.820 --> 0:09:53.150 Be out of. 0:09:53.150 --> 0:09:56.709 Crowbar? Some kind of peace talks and claim a triumph? 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.600 Probably so. Their mission was clear. 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.670 Peace in the north. Peace in the north. Hear ye, 0:10:01.670 --> 0:10:03.020 hear ye. Peace in the north. 0:10:03.020 --> 0:10:05.750 And no one could tell them otherwise. 0:10:05.750 --> 0:10:10.370 We got accused on email of forging forth with this 0:10:10.490 --> 0:10:14.420 for the want of a fun trip to Darwin. Now 0:10:14.420 --> 0:10:16.969 that could not be what? Yeah. 0:10:17.330 --> 0:10:18.920 Because of the jet ski tours. Yeah. 0:10:19.250 --> 0:10:23.870 Luckily that could not be further from. 0:10:23.870 --> 0:10:26.600 Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Here's me with a wife and 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.290 two kids. Wife and two kids. I'm like, oh, let me, 0:10:30.290 --> 0:10:33.230 you know, I'm just going to go to Darwin just 0:10:33.260 --> 0:10:36.650 because we're sitting in the casino, you know, that's that 0:10:36.650 --> 0:10:44.030 is that's gross. That's gross. But you're not the only 0:10:44.030 --> 0:10:47.510 one crying. I'm crying because that's a really hurtful thing 0:10:47.510 --> 0:10:54.050 to say. Oh, boy. And that's what these teeth represent. 0:10:54.050 --> 0:11:00.440 These tears are for. And you do this for small business. Peace. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.610 And you get a kiss. I mean, just being trivial anyway. 0:11:04.610 --> 0:11:06.890 And not. No need more of a need than ever. 0:11:06.890 --> 0:11:09.020 There is more of a need than ever for this. 0:11:09.020 --> 0:11:13.120 And so our heroes set forth on their journey north. 0:11:13.130 --> 0:11:16.910 We will not rest until peace is bought on Saturday afternoon. 0:11:17.090 --> 0:11:19.630 Then we will not rest because doing the biggest thing. 0:11:20.270 --> 0:11:26.240 But then we will rest and then we'll go home. You. 0:11:27.780 --> 0:11:29.160 You for peace. I've got. 0:11:33.670 --> 0:11:36.880 We join our worries of peace now at the Howard 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.590 Springs Tavern outside Darwin, where they're chatting to the locals 0:11:41.590 --> 0:11:44.260 as they wait for their Palmer and chips. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.180 Hey, Miss Hot, it's hot. 0:11:46.179 --> 0:11:49.390 We're here in the Howard Springs in the. Howdy. I've 0:11:49.390 --> 0:11:51.910 always just called it the howdy. We're sitting with Renee. Renee, 0:11:51.940 --> 0:11:53.470 how are you going? I'm marvelous. 0:11:53.470 --> 0:11:54.580 I'm marvelous. Yes. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:55.690 Now, one of the. 0:11:55.690 --> 0:11:59.270 Bartenders here, and I. Have you heard of spectacular jumping 0:11:59.270 --> 0:11:59.800 croc tours? 0:11:59.950 --> 0:12:01.840 I have, I have, it's one of the good ones. 0:12:01.929 --> 0:12:03.729 What about the original Jumping Croc tour? 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.679 Yeah, it's one of the better ones as well. Okay, great. 0:12:06.700 --> 0:12:08.860 They've been feuding for many, many years. 0:12:08.860 --> 0:12:11.770 They have you do you know the feud? Yes. Yeah, 0:12:12.070 --> 0:12:12.880 they're all feud. 0:12:13.059 --> 0:12:16.120 Well, I mean, we heard about the feud. Obviously we're 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.809 just lowly East Coasters, but we heard about the feud 0:12:19.809 --> 0:12:21.339 and we've been following it all year. 0:12:21.460 --> 0:12:22.150 Wow. 0:12:22.150 --> 0:12:25.780 Now, Renee, we've come here to negotiate a peace between 0:12:25.780 --> 0:12:27.250 original and spectacular. 0:12:27.460 --> 0:12:29.680 Oh, wow. This is interesting. 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.030 Do you think that's achievable? 0:12:31.090 --> 0:12:33.750 I think if anybody can do it, you guys can. Yeah. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.800 Thank you. Yeah. Do you feel like the territories behind 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:36.430 us as we try. 0:12:36.429 --> 0:12:39.220 And I feel like 100%. I live under a rock 0:12:39.220 --> 0:12:42.400 and I'm sure everybody else knows what you're doing, but 100%. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.929 If you can make these guys sort that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:12:47.050 --> 0:12:47.920 that'd be great. Well, as. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.679 Soon as I walked in, the jack who works behind 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.720 the bar, he looked at me and said, you're here 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.650 for peace. And I said, yeah, that's exactly what we're doing, mate. So, Renee, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.200 we wanted to get a territorial and a member of 0:13:01.630 --> 0:13:03.790 of this fine establishment want to get their blessing as 0:13:03.790 --> 0:13:06.250 we head out because our next stop, we're heading out 0:13:06.250 --> 0:13:06.849 to the river. 0:13:06.850 --> 0:13:08.590 Well, you're going to need it. You're going to need 0:13:08.590 --> 0:13:11.500 my blessings. Yeah, you need my blessing. Shenanigans. 0:13:11.500 --> 0:13:13.510 Have you heard of the what? Have you heard about 0:13:13.510 --> 0:13:14.020 the feud? 0:13:14.020 --> 0:13:16.330 No, I just heard it. Nobody can get along. 0:13:16.450 --> 0:13:16.720 Right. 0:13:16.870 --> 0:13:19.510 So it's just. And then it's devolved into possibly dirty tricks. 0:13:19.510 --> 0:13:22.000 And the thing is, that is fertile ground for peace, 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.520 isn't it? We're know. So when no one can get along. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.080 I mean, you would have seen a few scuffles here 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:27.550 at the bar over the years. 0:13:27.820 --> 0:13:29.680 Every Wednesday night. Why Wednesdays. 0:13:29.710 --> 0:13:30.250 Fight night. 0:13:30.250 --> 0:13:35.199 Wednesday night. Titty night. Oh. It brings out the best 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.569 in everyone. Gotcha. All the worst. Gotcha. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:38.530 Gotcha. 0:13:38.530 --> 0:13:40.479 Well, I'll tell you what. That's goodness. Plan B. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.329 Thank goodness we're not trying to solve this thing and 0:13:43.330 --> 0:13:44.680 get a peace deal done on a Wednesday. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.429 Yeah. You don't want to keep. 0:13:45.429 --> 0:13:46.210 It to a Saturday. 0:13:46.210 --> 0:13:49.300 As they say at the UN. Pointless trying to negotiate. 0:13:49.300 --> 0:13:53.949 Peace on titty. No, you wait till Thursday lunchtime when 0:13:53.950 --> 0:13:57.010 everyone's cool down. All right. Renee. 0:13:57.309 --> 0:14:01.270 Thank you. We had some bad news earlier in the week. 0:14:01.900 --> 0:14:05.110 In fact, I think we're going to play that for everybody. Yeah, so. 0:14:05.110 --> 0:14:07.750 We're heading out to negotiate peace between Wes and Tony. 0:14:08.110 --> 0:14:11.500 And we hadn't spoken to Tony from original. Yeah, we 0:14:11.500 --> 0:14:13.600 heard earlier in the week a couple of days ago, 0:14:13.660 --> 0:14:15.550 Tony wanted to talk and we jumped into the studio 0:14:15.550 --> 0:14:17.770 and had a chat to Tony. Have a listen to 0:14:17.770 --> 0:14:18.309 this for now. 0:14:20.260 --> 0:14:24.190 An emergency jump back into the studio today, guys. Lovely 0:14:24.190 --> 0:14:25.030 to see you both. Yeah. 0:14:25.330 --> 0:14:27.160 Good to see you. This warrants it. Yeah. 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.840 People will be hearing this knowing that we're already in Darwin. Yeah, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.900 but a vital piece of the puzzle is not going 0:14:34.900 --> 0:14:35.590 to be there. 0:14:36.130 --> 0:14:39.820 And we thought, let's capture this moment because I never 0:14:39.820 --> 0:14:41.560 thought that this was going to play out like a 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.770 true crime podcast. But it's going to have those pieces, 0:14:44.770 --> 0:14:47.470 isn't it? We have to, like, have the phone calls 0:14:47.470 --> 0:14:50.140 and the bits of evidence and the pieces of the journey. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.500 This is the bit where we've just found out that 0:14:53.500 --> 0:14:55.150 as we are about to head in a couple of 0:14:55.150 --> 0:14:59.859 days to Darwin to visit the owners of spectacular croc 0:14:59.860 --> 0:15:03.130 jumping tours, that's Wes and original croc jumping tours. That's 0:15:03.130 --> 0:15:07.180 Tony to negotiate peace between the businesses. Tony's not going 0:15:07.180 --> 0:15:10.540 to be there. Mm hmm. Now, this is our this 0:15:10.540 --> 0:15:13.450 is our. We've had this weekend blocked out. We're very 0:15:13.450 --> 0:15:16.780 excited about this weekend. As has been previously discussed, excited 0:15:16.780 --> 0:15:18.190 for the notion of peace. 0:15:18.310 --> 0:15:20.770 It turns out that he's on Sunshine Coast. He's way. 0:15:21.130 --> 0:15:27.400 Yeah, but. Can we do something still? I mean, if 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.290 Covid taught us anything, you don't actually have to be 0:15:29.290 --> 0:15:31.630 in the physical location. Well, we're going to be there. 0:15:31.630 --> 0:15:33.490 We'll be in Darwin. And I think we've still got 0:15:33.490 --> 0:15:36.010 a commitment from Wes to join us in neutral territory 0:15:36.010 --> 0:15:37.380 between the two businesses. 0:15:37.390 --> 0:15:39.130 I'm not sure if Wes knows that Tony's not going 0:15:39.130 --> 0:15:40.210 to be there in person, but. 0:15:40.270 --> 0:15:41.920 Don't tell Wes because we need Wes to show up 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.560 because we're going to look like absolute idiots if we. 0:15:45.010 --> 0:15:47.550 We fly all the way up from the eastern coast. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.810 We're the only two guys standing out there in a field, 0:15:49.810 --> 0:15:52.300 and Jack's holding a laptop or something, and no one's there. 0:15:52.570 --> 0:15:55.810 Well, we've had further contact with Tony. He's happy to 0:15:55.810 --> 0:15:57.520 take a call from us. That's what we've raised back 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.200 in the studio. Let's give him a buzz now and 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.780 find the lay of the land. This is the owner 0:16:01.780 --> 0:16:03.040 of original. 0:16:03.490 --> 0:16:04.660 What are we trying to get out of him? Just 0:16:04.660 --> 0:16:08.560 a commitment. Would he, like, zoom in or face to piece? 0:16:08.830 --> 0:16:10.150 Is he open? Yeah. And that's it. Like, is he 0:16:10.150 --> 0:16:13.180 open to piece? Would he virtually join this tiny rooms? 0:16:13.390 --> 0:16:15.730 Tony, it's Hamish and Andy here. 0:16:16.300 --> 0:16:17.440 Yeah. Same as in Andy. 0:16:17.710 --> 0:16:20.350 Get a tiny. What an honor to speak to you, sir. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.650 Oh, well, I wouldn't say it's a real honor. A 0:16:23.650 --> 0:16:26.710 lot of people would think it's a bit downmarket. 0:16:26.830 --> 0:16:29.770 Never mind. Not us, mate, for us. Time. We've dedicated 0:16:29.770 --> 0:16:33.010 a lot of time to this. We've found out that you. 0:16:33.490 --> 0:16:37.270 You're not going to be there on what we know. 0:16:38.140 --> 0:16:40.930 Okay. So turn. We are heading up. We're going to 0:16:40.930 --> 0:16:45.130 be in Darwin on Saturday to hold a peace summit, 0:16:45.610 --> 0:16:49.330 a small business peace summit, of which you would have 0:16:49.330 --> 0:16:53.740 been and are a 50% of the esteemed guests at 0:16:53.740 --> 0:16:58.840 the peace summit between original croc jumping and spectacular croc jumping. 0:16:59.980 --> 0:17:02.110 Given that you can't be there, can we just ask 0:17:02.110 --> 0:17:04.840 you this if you had have been in town, would 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.210 you have been open to attending the Peace Summit? 0:17:07.780 --> 0:17:11.890 Um, I wish you guys had a talk to me 0:17:11.890 --> 0:17:14.770 way back in the early days, because it weren't a 0:17:14.770 --> 0:17:17.770 lot particular. Well, well, spectacular. 0:17:20.830 --> 0:17:23.470 We'd love to follow this whole journey, but we only 0:17:23.470 --> 0:17:24.760 came along in the 80s. Tony. 0:17:25.150 --> 0:17:26.950 Our parents would have found it weird as two four 0:17:26.950 --> 0:17:29.740 year olds charged off up north with some recording gear. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.280 Tony, tell me the truth. Is it a publicity stunt 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:34.630 or are you actually closing it down? 0:17:35.109 --> 0:17:37.600 Yeah, we don't do publicity stunts. 0:17:37.780 --> 0:17:38.530 Okay. 0:17:38.530 --> 0:17:42.040 All right. So really. Okay, so the situation has got 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.859 untenable for you there on the river, and you're closing 0:17:44.859 --> 0:17:46.630 it down, and we read your press release. You make 0:17:46.630 --> 0:17:49.420 a lot of great points for safety reasons. And that's 0:17:49.420 --> 0:17:52.690 why you have been forced into this position. Can we 0:17:52.690 --> 0:17:56.590 take you back a bit, tone, to the days when 0:17:56.590 --> 0:18:01.090 spectacular and original were there was some shenanigans between the 0:18:01.090 --> 0:18:04.510 companies we heard we can't remember who did what to whom, 0:18:04.510 --> 0:18:06.910 but we did hear that someone used to drive a 0:18:06.910 --> 0:18:10.480 sign down and put it over the other person's sign. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.359 Oh, I did more than that. 0:18:13.810 --> 0:18:16.150 What was your best shenanigan? Tony, can you tell us now? 0:18:16.180 --> 0:18:18.850 Now that you've closed down, what was your best shenanigan? 0:18:19.390 --> 0:18:24.640 Well, it wasn't a shenanigan. It was. It was self defense. Oh, basically. Yeah, 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.650 they put up a sign, we put up a sign 0:18:26.650 --> 0:18:29.170 to counter, you know, and it just went on until 0:18:29.170 --> 0:18:32.860 the the corner of Anzac Avenue was pretty much all signs. 0:18:33.430 --> 0:18:34.490 Saying things like. 0:18:34.780 --> 0:18:36.610 They never sign. You put a sign in front of that, 0:18:36.609 --> 0:18:38.229 they put a sign in front of that and you 0:18:38.230 --> 0:18:41.500 put another sign. Yeah, I heard a rumor that you 0:18:41.500 --> 0:18:43.750 put a sign up their driveway that said, wrong way. 0:18:43.750 --> 0:18:44.379 Turn back. 0:18:44.380 --> 0:18:45.250 There. 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.620 Yeah, yeah, that was that was the frontier days. Yeah. Good. 0:18:49.630 --> 0:18:51.159 We had it. We had a sign more in the 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.740 frontier days too, because they were right next door. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:54.370 Okay. 0:18:54.369 --> 0:18:57.340 It's kind of the wrong way to go. It was 0:18:57.790 --> 0:18:59.050 it was very effective. 0:18:59.170 --> 0:19:06.100 Wrong way. Go. I love that. Have you got any 0:19:06.100 --> 0:19:08.050 other tales for us? Because what else? 0:19:08.380 --> 0:19:10.150 What did they do to you? What did they what 0:19:10.390 --> 0:19:12.130 where was the what was the dirtiest trick they did 0:19:12.130 --> 0:19:12.820 to you? 0:19:13.420 --> 0:19:14.110 Oh. 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:20.109 You know, the the problem, I guess, was the fact that. 0:19:21.050 --> 0:19:23.629 You know, we could see a very early on that 0:19:23.630 --> 0:19:26.810 it wasn't going to work outside of the bridge. I 0:19:26.810 --> 0:19:29.270 think I added it up one day there was 13 0:19:29.270 --> 0:19:34.010 cruisers went up. Yeah. And you can only feed crocodiles 0:19:34.010 --> 0:19:37.550 so often? Yep. Yeah. Now, if a crocodile didn't jump, 0:19:37.550 --> 0:19:38.900 you didn't have a product. 0:19:39.170 --> 0:19:40.550 Yeah, exactly. 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.369 They're eating for pigs. They don't need to jump. 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.930 Yeah, exactly. There's. It's just it doesn't work, you know, 0:19:47.930 --> 0:19:51.470 and it kind of. If you've never seen it before, 0:19:51.470 --> 0:19:53.330 you can sort of say. Oh, yeah, well, that was 0:19:53.330 --> 0:19:57.139 really good. But, you know, crocodile might slip a metre 0:19:57.140 --> 0:19:59.100 or so out of the water and say, oh, you know, 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.879 get a good photo of that. But, you know, in 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.450 this day and age, like this, this last year, there's, 0:20:05.630 --> 0:20:10.070 there was 5 or 6 males competing for, for space 0:20:10.070 --> 0:20:14.330 on the river. You know, and, and once these we 0:20:14.330 --> 0:20:18.470 could get these six metre crocodile at once jumped almost 0:20:18.470 --> 0:20:20.960 as high as the top deck of the boat. 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:22.160 Wow. 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.699 You know, and I mean, that's pretty spectacular. Yeah. 0:20:27.460 --> 0:20:32.060 Which is the other name, but and so. 0:20:32.060 --> 0:20:34.550 Completeness, complete misuse of words. 0:20:34.970 --> 0:20:39.320 But was was there ever a situation where, where one 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.410 company was like feeding the crocs too much so they 0:20:42.410 --> 0:20:43.969 wouldn't jump for the other company? 0:20:44.090 --> 0:20:48.290 Well, the behaviour was that there was only one boat 0:20:48.290 --> 0:20:51.080 that they had that could get under the bridge. Yeah. 0:20:51.109 --> 0:20:55.070 And then from time to time they would come under 0:20:55.070 --> 0:20:57.649 the bridge and they would make a nuisance of themselves. 0:20:58.010 --> 0:21:00.710 Yeah. In what way? Just feed the crowd. 0:21:00.740 --> 0:21:04.970 Well, it's not just feed the crocs. It's. It's actually 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:09.889 shadowing our vessels and getting in front of them. You know, 0:21:09.890 --> 0:21:12.050 seeing a croc out in the distance and getting in 0:21:12.050 --> 0:21:13.010 front of them. Oh. 0:21:13.010 --> 0:21:15.240 Crocodiles problems. 0:21:15.290 --> 0:21:15.979 Yeah. That's it. 0:21:16.470 --> 0:21:20.510 Flying croc hogs. Well, are you familiar with Wes over 0:21:20.510 --> 0:21:22.100 at Spectacular? Tony? 0:21:22.100 --> 0:21:23.520 Yeah, I know, yeah. 0:21:23.540 --> 0:21:26.869 Okay, well, he would be the other participant in this 0:21:27.210 --> 0:21:30.560 summit that we're holding. Would you be willing? I know 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.020 you're going to be on the Sunshine Coast, but would 0:21:33.020 --> 0:21:37.460 you be willing to zoom in, like, virtually? Join us, 0:21:37.460 --> 0:21:43.490 perhaps via zoom or FaceTime to sit down, look Wes 0:21:43.490 --> 0:21:46.760 in the eye and just go? It's been a wild ride, 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.090 but I officially come here in the name of peace, 0:21:50.090 --> 0:21:53.390 and you give each other one compliment and we all 0:21:53.390 --> 0:21:57.040 shake hands and peace is struck in the north. Um. 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:02.540 It I guess I don't know. I'd probably like to 0:22:02.540 --> 0:22:04.189 think that one through a little bit. 0:22:04.190 --> 0:22:06.050 All right. Yeah, you can take that on notice and 0:22:06.050 --> 0:22:09.560 have a think about it. And and then hopefully on 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:14.690 Saturday at around about 330 we hear you log in. 0:22:15.140 --> 0:22:18.320 And I mean, if you'd like Tony to make it 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.810 even feel like you're there, we could get a mannequin 0:22:20.810 --> 0:22:23.450 and replace the head with a computer. So it's just 0:22:23.450 --> 0:22:26.200 your head and we could dress the mannequin like you dress. How? 0:22:26.420 --> 0:22:28.040 What kind of outfit do you normally wear? 0:22:28.859 --> 0:22:33.080 So I'm a dreadful dresser. Okay. Um. No. 0:22:33.150 --> 0:22:34.230 Would that would that help? 0:22:34.869 --> 0:22:36.090 No. Not really. 0:22:37.740 --> 0:22:40.230 Well, you still might do that. I mean, just for the. 0:22:40.500 --> 0:22:42.030 Just for the spectacle. 0:22:42.990 --> 0:22:44.100 It would look great. 0:22:44.190 --> 0:22:46.560 Yeah, you do that, we'll get a mannequin. Head is 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:50.370 a laptop. You pop up there. And what we're really. 0:22:50.369 --> 0:22:54.379 Ideally the scenario would be, we'll say a few short remarks, 0:22:54.390 --> 0:22:59.040 a formal recognizing that any previous shenanigans have now been 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.889 put to bed to close the chapter to this great 0:23:01.890 --> 0:23:03.180 territory story. 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:08.130 Mm hmm. Leave it hanging with me till Friday. 0:23:08.250 --> 0:23:08.790 Yeah. 0:23:08.820 --> 0:23:12.840 Can I say it's not a no? You might join 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:13.740 us on Saturday. 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.660 Yeah I might. Yeah. I think that's probably the best 0:23:17.660 --> 0:23:21.230 way to do it. And I'll. I'll make a decision 0:23:21.470 --> 0:23:24.200 to what I'm going to do probably Friday night. So 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.140 that is still you know, it doesn't it gives you 0:23:27.140 --> 0:23:28.129 enough time to. 0:23:29.030 --> 0:23:30.840 I think. Yeah. Give it to give it. 0:23:30.930 --> 0:23:33.000 Give the story a decent burial. 0:23:33.330 --> 0:23:33.930 Well, we'll. 0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:38.310 We'll be there. We'll be there in the dry scrub 0:23:38.310 --> 0:23:43.020 land on Saturday afternoon. We'll hopefully still have Wes. We'll 0:23:43.020 --> 0:23:48.960 wait for your call. Obviously, we can't force your attendance, 0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.050 but you know where to find us at 330 on 0:23:52.050 --> 0:23:53.130 Saturday afternoon. 0:23:53.940 --> 0:23:56.390 Yeah, well, that's that's probably the best way. 0:23:56.460 --> 0:23:58.620 Love it. Peace is always a positive step. 0:24:00.510 --> 0:24:03.120 Thanks so much, mate, for taking our call. We will 0:24:03.119 --> 0:24:06.060 wait with bated breath to see what happens on the weekend. 0:24:06.060 --> 0:24:09.120 But take care yourself, mate. Okay. All right. 0:24:09.210 --> 0:24:10.560 Good on your time. Bye. 0:24:10.859 --> 0:24:12.870 Take em by facing the north. 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.250 Oh, I thought it was going to be more of 0:24:17.250 --> 0:24:23.280 a yes. Yes. I'll be honest with you. All righty. 0:24:23.490 --> 0:24:25.860 Thought it was a formality, to be honest. Exciting. 0:24:27.990 --> 0:24:32.520 So Tony, the owner of original, had made a lukewarm 0:24:32.850 --> 0:24:38.550 sort of definitely, maybe commitment to join the boys on 0:24:38.550 --> 0:24:43.379 zoom at 330 Saturday for peace talks with Wes. 0:24:43.710 --> 0:24:47.340 I don't know. I'd probably like to think that one 0:24:47.340 --> 0:24:48.300 through a little bit. 0:24:48.450 --> 0:24:51.780 And he really liked the idea of the mannequin dressed 0:24:51.780 --> 0:24:57.900 like him with an iPad for a face. Oh, surely 0:24:57.900 --> 0:25:01.109 it was all pointing to him turning up on zoom? 0:25:01.350 --> 0:25:02.410 Yeah, I might. 0:25:02.430 --> 0:25:06.000 Well, that's good enough for this podcast. So it was 0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:09.840 time to hit the dirt roads out to spectacular croc 0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:13.410 jumping tours to try and lock in. Wes. 0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.670 All right. And we've just pulled down the three kilometer 0:25:18.670 --> 0:25:24.040 corrugated dirt track to your liking. Not great to get 0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.790 here to spectacular croc jumping tours. Yes. 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.649 Jack keeps asking, can we stay till Wednesday? And I 0:25:29.650 --> 0:25:30.639 don't know why. 0:25:30.820 --> 0:25:34.540 Jack. Why? What's happening Wednesday night at the. At the pub? No. 0:25:34.930 --> 0:25:36.760 Why do you want. Why did you book a flight 0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:40.180 back for Wednesday morning and ask if you could do 0:25:40.180 --> 0:25:43.660 your radio show from here on Thursday? I don't know 0:25:43.660 --> 0:25:46.630 what's not. What's chippy night that you can't tell. Oh, 0:25:46.630 --> 0:25:47.950 I know what you were saying. I mean. 0:25:49.060 --> 0:25:51.700 I actually don't know what happens on Wednesday night. Oh, 0:25:51.700 --> 0:25:52.240 I heard. 0:25:53.260 --> 0:25:55.360 You don't have to do your rehearsals to us. Just 0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.400 say it for the first time to Bianca, and just 0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:58.690 say it as if you believe it. 0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:02.470 Jack. Well, you weren't there when we heard from Renee. No, but. 0:26:02.650 --> 0:26:05.710 From from the gig. Schoolboy giggling up the front, guessing 0:26:05.710 --> 0:26:06.490 what it's about. 0:26:06.910 --> 0:26:10.090 I mean, it was one of the great lines, but anyway, 0:26:10.090 --> 0:26:13.990 here we are. We're here. It's Saturday, so tops are on. 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.369 We're here unfortunately for tops on Saturday. Although I mean 0:26:18.369 --> 0:26:20.680 tops are on, but sleeves are never on in the territory. 0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:23.020 We look like an absolute couple. We look like a 0:26:23.020 --> 0:26:25.870 carload of idiots for walking around in t shirts instead 0:26:25.869 --> 0:26:26.320 of singlets. 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.230 However, yeah, we are not playing favorites here, but we 0:26:29.230 --> 0:26:31.840 want to experience a tour. And of course original has 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.330 shut down last weekend. 0:26:34.869 --> 0:26:37.510 So being convenient timing of our piece to it, we want. 0:26:37.510 --> 0:26:42.340 To confirm with the businesses, but where's is here? And 0:26:42.340 --> 0:26:46.540 that he'll come to the peace treaty meeting. Now here's 0:26:46.540 --> 0:26:50.170 another update. We haven't heard from Tony, he said. He 0:26:50.170 --> 0:26:52.540 said Trish, I'll think about it. He said he'd tell 0:26:52.540 --> 0:26:54.220 us Friday night. He hasn't. He said he's still thinking 0:26:54.220 --> 0:26:57.190 about it. We're trying to make the 330 timeline. All right. 0:26:57.190 --> 0:26:58.720 So here we are. We're at Spectre. I can't believe 0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:01.359 we've talked about this place all year. Spectacular croc jumping tours. 0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:03.639 We're in the car park. We're about to go, and 0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:05.050 we're about to see a croc jump out of the 0:27:05.050 --> 0:27:08.960 water for a chicken on a stick. Get fired up. Yeah, 0:27:09.130 --> 0:27:11.620 get fired up about the concept. I mean, that's the 0:27:11.619 --> 0:27:13.240 that's the business side of things. 0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:14.440 And here, where's his side. 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.330 Of the story? Where's face to face? Like a lot 0:27:16.330 --> 0:27:18.070 is about to happen. We're going to hear where's the 0:27:18.070 --> 0:27:22.300 side of the story. Reconfirm reconfirmed that it's 330 at 0:27:22.300 --> 0:27:25.360 the blocks by the way. Yep I got the box 330. 0:27:25.540 --> 0:27:27.490 That is when the peace talks are on. We've been 0:27:27.490 --> 0:27:30.280 to the pub. We've met Renee. Yes. Let's go meet with. 0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.430 Let's see a croc jump. Yeah. Great. How are you feeling, Jack? 0:27:33.430 --> 0:27:33.730 What do you. 0:27:33.730 --> 0:27:34.479 Need? This is going. 0:27:34.480 --> 0:27:37.150 To sound a bit weak, but when the road out 0:27:37.150 --> 0:27:40.600 here was really bumpy, I've actually hurt my neck well. 0:27:49.580 --> 0:27:54.379 We know we're trying to win a peace prize. We 0:27:54.380 --> 0:28:00.290 just do not hear many peace convoys go. We. I'm sorry, 0:28:00.410 --> 0:28:02.510 a North Korea. I've got a I'm not going to 0:28:02.510 --> 0:28:04.790 be able to make it. I stubbed my toe. 0:28:05.540 --> 0:28:08.300 I'm just finding it hard to look as far left 0:28:08.300 --> 0:28:09.260 as I can. Right. 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:10.699 So which which side. 0:28:10.700 --> 0:28:12.619 Of the bus would you like to. Which would you 0:28:12.619 --> 0:28:13.760 like us to ask for? 0:28:13.790 --> 0:28:15.080 Which side of the boat you need to be on there? 0:28:15.290 --> 0:28:15.810 Well, you. 0:28:15.810 --> 0:28:18.080 Use keep a lookout on my left side for Crocs, 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:19.460 I guess because I can't. 0:28:20.330 --> 0:28:22.430 They don't come out. You don't have to protect yourself. 0:28:22.450 --> 0:28:24.080 So would you like to? Why don't you just sit 0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:27.139 facing out and we'll ask if the crocodiles could leap 0:28:27.140 --> 0:28:29.450 up on the side of the boat you're on. Yeah, well. 0:28:29.450 --> 0:28:30.949 I can if I need to see. I can see 0:28:30.950 --> 0:28:32.810 him on any side just by turning my whole body. 0:28:32.810 --> 0:28:37.100 But I can't. I can't move my neck as freely 0:28:37.100 --> 0:28:38.210 as I usually do. 0:28:40.130 --> 0:28:40.640 Sorry. 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.200 I thought it just I thought. 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:44.320 That's good to know. It's good. 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.670 Some tactic to get us to come back on Wednesday. 0:28:49.310 --> 0:28:51.560 I know the real test. Bring him back on Wednesday 0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:54.740 and put them to his left. Oh, see the nicks better. 0:28:56.670 --> 0:28:58.780 It's whipping all over the place down post. 0:29:01.250 --> 0:29:01.820 All right, let's go. 0:29:02.030 --> 0:29:04.010 All right, you brave souls. Let's go. 0:29:06.380 --> 0:29:11.030 Oh, now, Wounded Warriors of peace jumped on board a 0:29:11.030 --> 0:29:15.470 spectacular boat and headed out onto the Adelaide River, where 0:29:15.470 --> 0:29:18.930 they were joined by the CEO of spectacular. 0:29:18.950 --> 0:29:21.770 Well, what a spectacular day for it. So always a 0:29:21.770 --> 0:29:24.770 good day out on the river, mate. Spectacular. We. It 0:29:24.770 --> 0:29:28.520 feels wild to be here after so much, so much. 0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.190 Thinking about this day. We're finally on the river. We 0:29:31.190 --> 0:29:33.410 were on board. Spectacular croc jumping to us. Not because 0:29:33.410 --> 0:29:34.430 we're playing favorites. 0:29:34.610 --> 0:29:36.890 Just because you're open, you're. Yeah. 0:29:38.060 --> 0:29:39.470 First thing we have to do is we say we 0:29:39.470 --> 0:29:43.520 saw the bridge. Now we obviously veered straight away from 0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:43.969 the bridge. 0:29:43.970 --> 0:29:47.440 We went north. That's a good thing. Abiding by the rules. Absolutely. 0:29:47.450 --> 0:29:50.900 When did the bridge rule come in? Long before I 0:29:50.900 --> 0:29:54.100 took over with spectacular. So I've been here for five years. Yeah. 0:29:54.140 --> 0:29:56.840 And what do you think brought on the bridge rule? Uh, 0:29:57.350 --> 0:29:59.570 I've heard lots of different stories. And when I took 0:29:59.570 --> 0:30:00.650 over here, I've got email. 0:30:00.650 --> 0:30:03.860 Chains that go back many, many years. Give us your best. 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:06.770 The crocodile. Crocodile? Oh. 0:30:07.250 --> 0:30:08.090 Thank you, Jack. 0:30:08.180 --> 0:30:11.600 Local. It's out to. It's it's out to Jack's. Right. 0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:12.410 That's how he saw it. 0:30:12.410 --> 0:30:16.600 Local Territorians. Jack post. Always on the lookout. Good spot. Jacko. 0:30:17.630 --> 0:30:20.780 No, as far as I'm aware, there was a previous 0:30:20.780 --> 0:30:24.050 manager here between the previous owners, a spectacular, and a 0:30:24.050 --> 0:30:27.590 Ricky Aboriginal Corporation taking it over. There was a great 0:30:27.590 --> 0:30:29.390 deal of fighting between the two of them, and it 0:30:29.390 --> 0:30:31.880 resulted in all sorts of silliness. Yeah. 0:30:32.180 --> 0:30:34.040 Give us the top three silly incidents. 0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:39.080 Well, it's far as I'm aware that particular altercation wound 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:43.280 up with original coming down below the bridge about 15 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:47.330 minutes before each each tour to basically fill up the 0:30:47.330 --> 0:30:49.280 crocodiles at this end of the river with food before 0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:50.090 our boats went out. 0:30:50.090 --> 0:30:52.070 Oh, and a full croc won't jump. 0:30:52.070 --> 0:30:54.800 Well, basically, there's no point if you've already been already 0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:55.970 had a fed, why would you go and do some 0:30:55.970 --> 0:30:56.350 more work? 0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:57.740 Yeah, that's a good sneaky trick. 0:30:58.130 --> 0:31:00.800 So that apparently went on for a while, and that 0:31:00.800 --> 0:31:03.620 resulted in all sorts of fights and bits and pieces. 0:31:03.890 --> 0:31:06.770 Jack, is that the crocodile you called? Yeah, it's like 0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:07.520 a goanna. 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:10.790 Technically cook it all like it's a baby, right? 0:31:10.790 --> 0:31:14.290 Well, in some, in some respects harder to to point out, Jacko. 0:31:14.300 --> 0:31:16.520 So that would be not as exciting. 0:31:16.520 --> 0:31:17.750 How old is that, crocodile? 0:31:17.750 --> 0:31:22.400 Was I genuinely. It could be. I'd say under ten minutes. 0:31:24.650 --> 0:31:27.080 Maybe under 3 or 4 years. What do you reckon, Wookie? Yeah, 0:31:27.260 --> 0:31:28.219 2 to 3 at most. 0:31:28.220 --> 0:31:29.120 Yeah. Really? 0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:33.709 Okay. So sorry we were. That gives it some realism though, 0:31:33.710 --> 0:31:35.900 doesn't it? Having a chat with the crocodile, we. 0:31:36.230 --> 0:31:37.190 Just randomly turn up. 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.580 We heard from a bloke at the pub. Where's that? 0:31:40.580 --> 0:31:45.050 That said, there was a sideswipe from one boat to 0:31:45.050 --> 0:31:46.850 another at one point. Does that ever happen? 0:31:46.850 --> 0:31:49.220 I'm not aware of anything. He thought it. 0:31:49.220 --> 0:31:50.420 Was like in the 90s. 0:31:50.420 --> 0:31:53.600 No? Well, it could well be the I personally work 0:31:53.600 --> 0:31:56.480 for for Sony down at original. 0:31:56.480 --> 0:32:00.950 Really? You jumped ship? Well, literally 20 years ago, five. 0:32:00.950 --> 0:32:01.850 26 years ago. 0:32:01.850 --> 0:32:02.420 Okay. 0:32:02.870 --> 0:32:03.190 Um. 0:32:04.010 --> 0:32:05.960 Were you part of the shenanigans at original? 0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:11.120 Yeah, yeah. So I was loyal to a paycheck. 0:32:11.930 --> 0:32:14.960 Okay, so you've conducted operations on both sides. 0:32:15.350 --> 0:32:16.820 I did, for a little while. I was. 0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:17.570 I was. 0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:18.950 Mercenary. 0:32:19.250 --> 0:32:22.010 Well, yeah. Look, I want a paycheck. 0:32:22.010 --> 0:32:23.630 Yeah, well, we get it. What? 0:32:23.630 --> 0:32:24.410 What did you do? 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:26.690 Things like? We had. 0:32:26.690 --> 0:32:27.530 It used to have a huge. 0:32:27.530 --> 0:32:29.120 Road sign on the back of a vehicle, and it 0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.670 was really silly, but we used to have to go 0:32:31.670 --> 0:32:34.190 down and park at our front gate every drive. The 0:32:34.190 --> 0:32:35.750 3 or 4 K's down the road every day and 0:32:35.750 --> 0:32:37.010 park it at our front gate. 0:32:37.010 --> 0:32:37.709 I think it's. 0:32:37.730 --> 0:32:39.380 Spectacular. Spectacular. 0:32:39.380 --> 0:32:42.170 So you cover their sign? Yeah, yeah, great. Because we 0:32:42.170 --> 0:32:44.660 notice out on the highway now coming in, there's still 0:32:44.660 --> 0:32:48.000 a sign from original saying. As you head down here 0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.950 to spectacular, there's a sign that goes, if you're looking 0:32:49.950 --> 0:32:52.190 for original, turn around and go another three kilometres. 0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:53.550 That's a bugbear of mine. 0:32:53.550 --> 0:32:58.230 That's how when you were coming into a live situation 0:32:58.230 --> 0:33:02.040 that needs peace, when you've got competing signs steering each 0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:03.650 other away from each other's businesses. 0:33:03.660 --> 0:33:08.850 The sign, the sign thing has always been a constant 0:33:08.850 --> 0:33:12.480 fight between the two of them. At one stage, one 0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:15.660 of the operators here, I said, had 16 road signs 0:33:15.660 --> 0:33:16.950 in a two kilometre space. 0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:21.209 It seems to me you know how they talk about like, oh, look, 0:33:21.210 --> 0:33:23.010 Russia and America might not go to war, but there'll 0:33:23.010 --> 0:33:25.760 be a cyber war. Yeah, right. It seems they sign wars. 0:33:25.770 --> 0:33:28.880 This is a sign of cyber war. This seems like that. 0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:30.840 As a sign. Sign? Arms race. Yeah. 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:34.430 This seems like the main weapon is signs and signage. Yeah, 0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.410 it is like cross, isn't it? Very territorial. Just fighting 0:33:37.410 --> 0:33:38.220 for your patch of river. 0:33:38.460 --> 0:33:40.230 I'll give him full credit for some of the things 0:33:40.230 --> 0:33:41.370 that he's done in the past. 0:33:41.370 --> 0:33:43.380 How is your relationship with him now? 0:33:43.410 --> 0:33:45.780 It's not bad, like I. I get on all right, 0:33:45.990 --> 0:33:48.540 like I don't have to duck the next time I 0:33:48.540 --> 0:33:49.470 see him. Well, we. 0:33:49.470 --> 0:33:53.100 Hope that could be this afternoon. Whereas because we're here, 0:33:53.130 --> 0:33:55.800 we're on the river. We've come to make peace. Even 0:33:55.800 --> 0:34:00.300 though he's not in business currently, we still think peace 0:34:00.300 --> 0:34:01.740 is a worthy pursuit. 0:34:01.740 --> 0:34:02.340 Oh, absolutely. 0:34:02.340 --> 0:34:02.820 Bygones. 0:34:02.910 --> 0:34:03.750 Do you think it is? 0:34:03.750 --> 0:34:04.990 Well he does, yes. 0:34:05.010 --> 0:34:07.320 We said yes. So it's not just a trip so 0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:08.970 we can come up here and see crocodiles and ride 0:34:08.969 --> 0:34:11.400 jet skis and stay at the casino. It's a real 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:15.450 peace trip, and we want it to happen this afternoon 0:34:15.450 --> 0:34:18.479 in about about half an hour's time. All right, now 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:21.810 we've got our location. You're willing to be there is. Absolutely. 0:34:22.110 --> 0:34:24.000 Tony says he's thinking about it. 0:34:24.900 --> 0:34:25.800 That'll be interesting. 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:30.239 I've got five different plaques that will celebrate the various 0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:33.780 outcomes depending on whether or not Tony was there. But 0:34:33.780 --> 0:34:36.509 I needed you there, whereas we needed you there because 0:34:36.630 --> 0:34:38.670 we can't have a peace deal without any side of 0:34:38.670 --> 0:34:39.450 the parties there. 0:34:39.450 --> 0:34:40.290 Let's let's do it. 0:34:40.290 --> 0:34:42.330 Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. We'll finish 0:34:42.330 --> 0:34:44.520 the tour. We'll hop off and go and get organised. 0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.190 Fingers crossed Tony shows up. Let it be known. We 0:34:47.190 --> 0:34:48.860 can still do a peace deal with one side. Andy, 0:34:48.870 --> 0:34:49.650 do you agree? 0:34:49.650 --> 0:34:52.710 Oh, totally. And. And can I just say spectacular out here? 0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.520 It is spectacular out here. Can't recommend it. Hollywood. 0:34:55.530 --> 0:34:57.540 Well it's a very original tour. 0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:03.359 Well that is debatable, but. All right. Thanks, boys. We'll 0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:04.170 see you at the peace deal. 0:35:04.170 --> 0:35:04.500 All right. 0:35:04.770 --> 0:35:05.730 Look forward to this, mate. 0:35:11.010 --> 0:35:14.670 To recap, the Hamish and Andy podcast is on an 0:35:14.670 --> 0:35:18.840 epic mission in the Northern Territory to bring peace in 0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:22.950 the North and end a decades long feud between two 0:35:22.950 --> 0:35:27.870 Jumping Croc tours. Anticipation was high for the 3:30 p.m. 0:35:27.870 --> 0:35:32.790 Peace Summit, which was to be attended by Wes from spectacular. Absolutely. 0:35:32.790 --> 0:35:36.200 And maybe by Tony from original. 0:35:36.210 --> 0:35:37.069 Yeah, I might. 0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:41.819 So in the shadow of the disputed Territory Bridge, we 0:35:41.820 --> 0:35:45.569 join our intrepid peace mission from the carpark of the 0:35:45.570 --> 0:35:49.890 recently closed original croc jumping tours. 0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:52.719 Where the original. Yeah. Are you nervous? 0:35:52.739 --> 0:35:54.600 Yeah, we can see. We can see. The boarded up 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.120 original croc jumping to is in the background. 0:35:57.120 --> 0:36:00.630 Wes was happy to come to original turf. He's happy 0:36:00.630 --> 0:36:02.670 to play an away game, which was nice of him. 0:36:02.670 --> 0:36:04.650 Yeah, especially because the guy who's playing a home game 0:36:04.650 --> 0:36:05.310 isn't here. 0:36:06.390 --> 0:36:09.750 That is rare. Isn't it rare for the home team 0:36:09.750 --> 0:36:12.660 to take a holiday? Yeah, for the big match. However, 0:36:12.660 --> 0:36:15.029 we push on with negotiations. Andy. 0:36:15.270 --> 0:36:17.460 15 minutes. We've got, by the way, 15 minutes. And 0:36:17.460 --> 0:36:20.850 then we either we either know he meant to call 0:36:20.850 --> 0:36:22.410 him or 15 minutes, he either picks up or he doesn't. 0:36:22.620 --> 0:36:25.890 Pace or not, I can't believe. Just take a moment 0:36:25.890 --> 0:36:27.900 for a second to think about how long this has 0:36:27.900 --> 0:36:30.390 been and how many options we had to Peter this 0:36:30.390 --> 0:36:33.430 thing out and we didn't take him. That's really like, 0:36:33.450 --> 0:36:36.270 that's one victory for for the show, isn't it? Is 0:36:36.270 --> 0:36:36.689 there a plaque. 0:36:36.690 --> 0:36:37.590 That reflects that. 0:36:39.090 --> 0:36:42.210 The blocks are pretty triumphant, right? Okay. Well here's the 0:36:42.330 --> 0:36:46.500 here's the thing. Yeah. I got us five plaques that 0:36:46.500 --> 0:36:51.989 I think cover off most of the permutations that we 0:36:51.989 --> 0:36:54.540 could face. I realized I didn't have one that covers 0:36:54.540 --> 0:36:57.750 off with saying I'm not coming either. Okay. But you 0:36:57.750 --> 0:37:01.919 know what? I might I might actually have that. Okay. 0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:05.820 Plaque number one, if things go really well, we will 0:37:05.820 --> 0:37:09.870 lay this plaque down in 15 minutes time on this site. 0:37:09.870 --> 0:37:13.170 A business piece was negotiated between spectacular croc jumping tours 0:37:13.170 --> 0:37:15.780 and original croc jumping tours by the Hamish and Eddie podcast. 0:37:15.780 --> 0:37:19.380 The piece is valid regardless of operational status of either company. 0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:23.190 Date of peace mid to late 2023. Now I did 0:37:23.190 --> 0:37:26.340 that so in future generations they don't pin the date 0:37:26.340 --> 0:37:28.320 on us to go. Hang on. Didn't original close the 0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:32.160 weekend before so let's just keep the dates vague. That's plaque. 0:37:32.160 --> 0:37:33.870 Keep that on hand because that's the one. 0:37:34.290 --> 0:37:36.479 That's the one. That's what we hope to lay down 0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:37.920 as we try. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:39.540 Tony for the fifth time. 0:37:39.540 --> 0:37:39.840 Yeah. 0:37:40.350 --> 0:37:42.780 He hasn't picked up. So we can start to probably 0:37:42.780 --> 0:37:43.920 put that plaque back. 0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:45.930 If we can't get Tony on the phone, we then 0:37:45.930 --> 0:37:49.140 move to this. On this site, a small business piece 0:37:49.140 --> 0:37:51.960 was proposed by the Hamish Nandi Podcast and two local 0:37:51.960 --> 0:37:55.560 croc jumping operations. Sadly, due to logistical difficulties, not everyone 0:37:55.560 --> 0:37:58.260 could be present to achieve a definitive result. But the 0:37:58.260 --> 0:38:01.050 feeling on this day was certainly one of peace which counts. 0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:09.390 Great date of feeling mid to late 2023. Lock number three. Yes, 0:38:09.690 --> 0:38:13.200 this keeps it vague. Okay. On this site, the concept 0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:16.739 of business peace between spectacular tours and original camping tours 0:38:16.739 --> 0:38:21.180 was discussed and celebrated as a concept. I was facilitated 0:38:21.180 --> 0:38:22.420 by the ABC 90 podcast. 0:38:22.560 --> 0:38:23.370 Neither of them rock up. 0:38:23.489 --> 0:38:25.290 That's if neither of them rock up. And it's also 0:38:25.290 --> 0:38:28.380 if they turn up and they say, where's they're not 0:38:28.380 --> 0:38:29.310 that keen. 0:38:29.310 --> 0:38:31.110 Yeah. Or they don't give compliments or something. 0:38:31.590 --> 0:38:33.000 So they're not willing to follow through on all the 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:35.910 stipulations of the piece. But we can still say without lying, 0:38:35.910 --> 0:38:38.460 it was discussed and celebrated as a concept. 0:38:38.460 --> 0:38:42.870 If one calls the other one, that's. Yeah, yeah, that's 0:38:42.870 --> 0:38:44.070 what we're reaching for because. 0:38:44.070 --> 0:38:47.670 We'll be celebrating pieces of concept. Yes. And the discussions 0:38:47.670 --> 0:38:49.950 were facilitated by us. So that's a good note. I 0:38:49.950 --> 0:38:50.670 feel like we've got all. 0:38:50.670 --> 0:38:52.230 Bases covered, but I still see two. 0:38:52.230 --> 0:38:56.859 More plaques. Yeah. Okay. On this site, plaques. Number four, 0:38:56.860 --> 0:38:59.190 a small business piece was rejected by one or more 0:38:59.190 --> 0:39:01.530 parties involved in the podcast. And that's more if we 0:39:01.530 --> 0:39:03.660 want to go honest broker in the piece in the 0:39:03.660 --> 0:39:06.299 North croc jumping business peace talks date of rejection. This 0:39:06.300 --> 0:39:08.850 is actually the only plaque that covers a flat out loss. 0:39:08.969 --> 0:39:09.209 Yeah. 0:39:09.870 --> 0:39:11.910 Which I just thought of. Throw it in there as 0:39:11.910 --> 0:39:13.710 an option. I'm not I'm not a fan of it 0:39:13.710 --> 0:39:16.200 because it paints us like a failure. Failure? Yeah. But 0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:17.819 I don't mind. The idea. 0:39:18.540 --> 0:39:19.500 Is not I don't. 0:39:19.500 --> 0:39:21.420 Mind the idea of being the world's, I would say 0:39:21.420 --> 0:39:23.460 only plaque that commemorates. 0:39:23.460 --> 0:39:24.300 Something that it. 0:39:24.780 --> 0:39:25.350 Didn't like. 0:39:25.710 --> 0:39:28.440 On this site. We invited the Prime Minister to come 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:33.810 and open the building. He couldn't make it. I like 0:39:33.810 --> 0:39:36.180 the idea of a very honest. That's good. Yes, final 0:39:36.180 --> 0:39:39.870 plaque is just the best. Not lying I could think of. Okay, right. 0:39:39.870 --> 0:39:42.780 This makes it sound no matter what the result. This 0:39:42.780 --> 0:39:45.660 just makes it sound like a win for us boys. Regardless, 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.480 on this side, the Hamish and Andy podcast weighed up 0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.900 all available evidence in the rivalry between original croc jumping 0:39:51.930 --> 0:39:54.719 tours and spectacular jumping tours, and we're very happy to 0:39:54.719 --> 0:40:00.750 triumphantly proclaim peace in the North. That's perfect date of 0:40:00.750 --> 0:40:04.140 triumph mid to late 2023. So. So when you dig 0:40:04.140 --> 0:40:05.790 into it, all we have to do is weigh up 0:40:05.790 --> 0:40:08.700 the evidence and see if we were still happy to 0:40:08.700 --> 0:40:11.360 try and. Simply proclaim peace in the North. 0:40:11.870 --> 0:40:14.180 And I get a good feeling that we will keep. 0:40:14.300 --> 0:40:16.460 Well, let's just see which one we go with. 0:40:16.469 --> 0:40:19.520 Yes. Well, let's set up a table outside. We've got 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:20.270 a mannequin. Yeah. 0:40:20.900 --> 0:40:22.460 You got a mannequin. We're going to gaffer tape the 0:40:22.460 --> 0:40:23.360 iPad to its head. 0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:25.910 And I think we've got the best replica we can 0:40:25.910 --> 0:40:28.280 of Tony's clothes, so I think we might not even 0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:29.000 tell the difference. 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:34.820 Oh, yeah, he should fall for it. You guys ready 0:40:34.820 --> 0:40:37.850 to bring peace to the north? Yes, yes, yes, boys. 0:40:37.850 --> 0:40:40.190 Peace to all. Peace to us. Jet ski to. It 0:40:40.190 --> 0:40:41.629 is also into our jet ski. 0:40:41.630 --> 0:40:43.820 Soon. Then we go check in at the castle. Okay? 0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:50.900 And so it was time. Mannequin in place. Zoom meeting online. 0:40:50.900 --> 0:40:54.830 Agents of peace at the ready. All the boys needed 0:40:54.830 --> 0:40:59.270 now was both Tony and Wes to come together in 0:40:59.270 --> 0:41:01.760 the name of peace in the North. 0:41:02.180 --> 0:41:04.460 Here we are. We're at the negotiating table. Where's? He's 0:41:04.460 --> 0:41:07.280 not here yet. The zoom waiting room is waiting. Ready? 0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:08.989 We're just. We've just set everything up. We've got a 0:41:08.989 --> 0:41:11.690 giant crocs skull on the table. I think. 0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:15.920 A perfectly portioned mannequin for Tony with a shirt that 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:17.060 he would normally wear. 0:41:17.060 --> 0:41:21.110 And iPad gaffer taped to the head of the mannequins. 0:41:21.110 --> 0:41:24.230 Where's this arriving? Yes. God, yes, it would have. That 0:41:24.230 --> 0:41:25.910 would have been the all time stitch up if he 0:41:25.910 --> 0:41:28.010 just told us to our face that he was going 0:41:28.010 --> 0:41:29.060 to come and then didn't turn up. 0:41:29.150 --> 0:41:30.830 We have the plaque for it though we do have. 0:41:31.310 --> 0:41:33.230 We do the plaque. We have the plaque for it. 0:41:33.230 --> 0:41:35.000 What have we got, Jack? You've got the plaques. 0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:37.580 I've got all five plaques. And from here we've got 0:41:37.580 --> 0:41:39.620 a great view of the actual bridge as well, which 0:41:39.620 --> 0:41:41.870 is the dividing point between the two. You can understand 0:41:41.870 --> 0:41:42.420 it to us, Jack. 0:41:42.469 --> 0:41:44.720 Understand why now? We wouldn't do a meeting on it. 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.240 It's like a thoroughfare, semi-trailer freeway. It'd be. 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.430 No make no sense for this table. And these chairs 0:41:49.430 --> 0:41:50.839 set up to be in the middle of the bridge? 0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:52.520 No. What? It makes sense for you to be strapping 0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:55.330 C4 to it right now to blow it up the. 0:41:55.489 --> 0:41:57.620 I don't know, having been here and seeing that people 0:41:57.620 --> 0:41:58.910 use it to get from one side of the river 0:41:58.910 --> 0:42:00.739 to the other, I don't think we should blow it up. 0:42:00.830 --> 0:42:01.310 One of those. 0:42:01.310 --> 0:42:06.980 Bridges, Jack has positioned himself on a folding chair so 0:42:06.980 --> 0:42:09.050 he can look directly at the bridge without having to 0:42:09.050 --> 0:42:10.430 turn to his left. 0:42:10.730 --> 0:42:13.610 Still nursing that slight neck injury. 0:42:13.910 --> 0:42:14.930 He's getting better, though. 0:42:15.050 --> 0:42:16.489 That's good. He comes with. 0:42:17.090 --> 0:42:18.710 It. Comes with thank you mate. 0:42:18.980 --> 0:42:20.390 Thank you for coming to the talks. 0:42:20.780 --> 0:42:23.270 We have two minutes from when we said we'd try 0:42:23.270 --> 0:42:26.450 and connect Tony if he decides to connect, whereas just quickly. 0:42:26.630 --> 0:42:28.130 Does that look a lot like Tony? 0:42:28.489 --> 0:42:30.970 Yeah. If you squint hard enough. Yeah, that's pretty close. 0:42:31.010 --> 0:42:31.640 A shirt like that. 0:42:31.820 --> 0:42:35.089 Okay. We've set up a zoom. He said he'd lock. 0:42:35.090 --> 0:42:35.540 Oh my God. 0:42:35.930 --> 0:42:38.150 Oh, there we are. Tony, can you hear us? 0:42:39.050 --> 0:42:40.100 I certainly can. 0:42:40.100 --> 0:42:41.000 Oh my God. 0:42:41.300 --> 0:42:46.070 Tony, can you see us? Yes. And you've got where's here. 0:42:47.060 --> 0:42:47.989 Oh yeah. Mr. Bloom, I. 0:42:47.989 --> 0:42:49.550 Go where's there two. Yeah. 0:42:49.550 --> 0:42:50.569 Wait. How are you, buddy? 0:42:51.710 --> 0:42:51.980 Good. 0:42:52.430 --> 0:42:53.270 Where's. Jeez. 0:42:54.110 --> 0:42:56.989 This is beautiful. This is. This is lovely. 0:42:57.020 --> 0:43:00.110 Just quickly. Tony, how are you feeling? How are the emotions? 0:43:01.340 --> 0:43:06.259 Oh, look, I guess I've got to say I'm bored. 0:43:06.260 --> 0:43:09.529 Hell as hell. Just waiting for you to turn up. 0:43:11.150 --> 0:43:14.029 Well, we first want to recognize both of you gentlemen, 0:43:14.030 --> 0:43:17.420 the great Spirit and the goodwill. With you've shown coming 0:43:17.420 --> 0:43:21.259 together to sit here at these two plastic outdoor tables 0:43:21.500 --> 0:43:25.490 covered by an official cloth. We followed the dramas. Our 0:43:25.489 --> 0:43:28.400 listeners have followed the dramas and the stories, the stories 0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:33.230 of decades of shenanigans. But today, I think there's a 0:43:33.230 --> 0:43:34.820 wonderful mood in the air as we put that all 0:43:34.820 --> 0:43:35.600 to bed. Andy. 0:43:35.600 --> 0:43:39.530 Yes, we thought for ease. Gentlemen, we're going to read 0:43:39.530 --> 0:43:43.070 out something kind of like a marriage, and all you 0:43:43.070 --> 0:43:46.670 have to do is say, I do, and I do. So, Hamish, 0:43:46.670 --> 0:43:49.940 you've got the the details there. Are you ready to 0:43:49.940 --> 0:43:50.540 read that out? 0:43:50.540 --> 0:43:54.830 We'll start with you. Where's where's do you agree that 0:43:54.830 --> 0:43:59.690 all small business shenanigans between spectacular and original, up to 0:43:59.960 --> 0:44:04.910 and especially including sign based warfare, are officially in the past? 0:44:05.030 --> 0:44:05.930 Absolutely. 0:44:06.620 --> 0:44:07.370 We have won. 0:44:07.370 --> 0:44:08.630 I have won, Tony. 0:44:08.630 --> 0:44:13.460 Tony, do you agree that all small business based shenanigans 0:44:13.460 --> 0:44:16.790 between spectacular and original, up to and especially including sign 0:44:16.790 --> 0:44:19.670 based warfare, are officially in the past? 0:44:21.020 --> 0:44:22.850 Well, yeah, they are. 0:44:23.810 --> 0:44:26.440 Just the where they are was fine. That's just against. 0:44:26.510 --> 0:44:29.719 Yes. Okay. We got two yeses now. 0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.960 Now the final bit of the peace process is the 0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:36.560 passing of a compliment from one to the other. Wes, 0:44:36.800 --> 0:44:39.140 we'll start with you. Do you have a compliment for Tony? 0:44:39.140 --> 0:44:40.340 You look fantastic, Tony. 0:44:40.340 --> 0:44:40.790 That's great. 0:44:40.790 --> 0:44:42.350 Okay.

Tony. 0:44:58.790 --> 0:45:01.610 Since the pledge has been agreed to and the compliments 0:45:01.610 --> 0:45:02.629 have been exchanged. 0:45:02.630 --> 0:45:05.959 One last thing to Hamish. Would you remove Tony's so 0:45:06.260 --> 0:45:07.730 words can shake it? Yeah. 0:45:07.880 --> 0:45:10.020 Can do. Sorry about this time. 0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:12.620 I think you may drop him if you go that way, boys. 0:45:13.130 --> 0:45:13.700 There we go. 0:45:15.230 --> 0:45:20.569 Perfect. And, Tony, would you mind just mimicking handshaking just 0:45:20.570 --> 0:45:22.400 so it looks like you are as well. Just reach 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:25.730 out with your lovely. Okay. 0:45:26.480 --> 0:45:29.960 By the power vested in us as peace envoys, we 0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:32.090 now declare taste in the north. 0:45:32.330 --> 0:45:36.310 Taste in the north. There's a peace in the north. 0:45:36.500 --> 0:45:39.200 I did not expect Tony to be triumphantly raising his 0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:44.120 arm up. Joan, you're a legend. Whoa! 0:45:46.580 --> 0:45:52.000 So, with peace very much intact. And the mannequin? Less so, 0:45:52.010 --> 0:45:56.060 all that remained was to lay a plaque commemorating the 0:45:56.060 --> 0:46:00.230 heroic efforts of our peace force in the north. 0:46:00.500 --> 0:46:01.370 What plaque did you choose? 0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:02.720 We went with. We were able to do the best 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:03.710 case scenario where we. Jack. 0:46:03.980 --> 0:46:05.230 This is the best of the best. 0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:08.360 We have now sunk into the dirt outside. The location 0:46:08.360 --> 0:46:10.670 was on this side of business. Peace was negotiated between 0:46:10.670 --> 0:46:13.580 spectacular croc jumping tours and original croc jumping tours by 0:46:13.580 --> 0:46:16.700 the Hamish Unity podcast. This piece is valid regardless of 0:46:16.700 --> 0:46:20.210 operational status of either company. Date of peace mid to 0:46:20.210 --> 0:46:21.290 late 2020. 0:46:21.590 --> 0:46:23.989 Congratulations fellas. Well done guys. I'm really proud of. 0:46:23.989 --> 0:46:25.490 Policing the North.

See, you left just as quickly for you, Jackal, 0:46:34.910 --> 0:46:38.750 as peace discussions were unfolding. Were you just quickly scanning 0:46:38.750 --> 0:46:41.150 all five plaques? Like which ones are going to be? 0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:44.000 Because at the end, you handed me the perfect pass. Yes. 0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:45.440 So well done. 0:46:46.550 --> 0:46:48.320 And thank you for making me feel like I had 0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:50.089 a valid role, because for a lot of that, I 0:46:50.090 --> 0:46:53.120 sat there and it's true, I wasn't I wasn't doing anything. 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:55.220 So thank you for making me feel included. 0:46:55.219 --> 0:46:56.989 Let me be really clear about this. 0:46:57.860 --> 0:47:00.290 Block selection was very critical. 0:47:00.290 --> 0:47:04.310 And but on that we all had a very valid role. Yes. 0:47:04.520 --> 0:47:08.180 Having said that, peace is now achieved. So I suppose 0:47:08.180 --> 0:47:10.470 with some time left in the day, have we got to. 0:47:10.489 --> 0:47:11.419 Oh, I do have a bit of spare. 0:47:11.420 --> 0:47:14.450 Time because our jetski tour is still. 0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:15.230 Is that still on? 0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:16.969 Oh great. 0:47:18.739 --> 0:47:19.549 Three cheers for. 0:47:19.550 --> 0:47:22.370 Peace.
