WEBVTT - Alex Has A New Job 0:00:02.420 --> 0:00:08.390 A listener production to cuddly boys overloading the bromance quota meter. 0:00:08.420 --> 0:00:09.410 They're so cute. 0:00:09.619 --> 0:00:12.440 It's Matt and Alex. All day. Breakfast. 0:00:12.470 --> 0:00:16.489 Well, yes. Alex Dyson is here. Had a weekend in 0:00:16.489 --> 0:00:19.610 the sun at the beach in sunny Warrnambool. But I'm 0:00:19.610 --> 0:00:25.340 hoping that out of the ashes of the cyclone. Alfred, 0:00:25.370 --> 0:00:27.110 do we have a Matt Okine? 0:00:27.140 --> 0:00:31.220 Oh, man. I gotta tell you, I. I was not 0:00:31.220 --> 0:00:34.010 loving the weekend at all. I've got plenty, plenty to 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.620 update you on, but I think for now, just to 0:00:36.650 --> 0:00:39.440 begin the show with something a little bit lighter. Let's 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:42.470 all give a big shout out to National Meatball Day. 0:00:42.500 --> 0:00:45.199 Oh well, you'd think we're not talking about weather, but 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.390 ever since the film cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 0:00:47.390 --> 0:00:50.449 came out, that is very weather based. No shout outs 0:00:50.450 --> 0:00:54.980 to anyone celebrating. I think National Meatball day in the States. Matt, 0:00:55.010 --> 0:00:58.100 you are. You're a big fan of the meatball. 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:03.130 I, I don't have enough, to be honest. They. I 0:01:03.130 --> 0:01:05.890 tried to get Sophia onto it, but she doesn't like it. 0:01:05.890 --> 0:01:10.419 But then if she has spaghetti with mints, she likes that. 0:01:10.420 --> 0:01:13.690 And I'm like, kid, it's the same thing. It's just 0:01:13.690 --> 0:01:16.840 one is just bunched up together, like, come on. 0:01:16.870 --> 0:01:19.300 Yeah, but you, you do know the same way that 0:01:19.300 --> 0:01:23.950 brown M&Ms taste worse than the other colors. Um, the 0:01:23.950 --> 0:01:27.280 color and shape of things, Matt affects the flavor. That's 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.720 why red cars go faster. It's the UN universal truths 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:32.710 of our time. 0:01:32.740 --> 0:01:36.520 Oh, well. Shout out to everyone enjoying our National Meatball Day. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.120 Let's dive into some recaps about the wild weather across 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.770 the weekend. This is Matt and Alex all day breakfast. 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:42.700 Hope you're having a good one. 0:01:42.730 --> 0:01:44.110 Let's get this show on the road. 0:01:44.110 --> 0:01:46.150 Let's go. Here we go. Here we go, here we go. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.210 Gotta tell you, I was glued to. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.560 The algorithm that was showing the sand washing away on 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:58.420 the Gold Coast beach. Nice. And. Yeah, just feeling scared 0:01:58.420 --> 0:02:00.770 for everyone I knew on the Gold Coast, including Annalise's 0:02:00.770 --> 0:02:03.080 mum and brother living up there. We were getting updates. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.440 Matt Okine but you were living it in the. In 0:02:06.470 --> 0:02:10.280 the heart of Brissy I guess. Saturday. Finally a good 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.310 excuse not to go look at properties. Um, but tell 0:02:13.310 --> 0:02:16.160 us how. How did you go? 0:02:16.190 --> 0:02:18.559 Mate, I did feel sorry for anyone who was planning 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.690 on buying or selling a house this weekend. I know 0:02:20.690 --> 0:02:23.360 that there's much more things to, you know, bigger things 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.380 to worry about. 0:02:24.380 --> 0:02:27.290 But with the auctions cancelled on Saturday, everything seemed to 0:02:27.290 --> 0:02:28.910 be shutting. What was going on? 0:02:28.910 --> 0:02:31.100 I reckon you could have picked up a bargain if 0:02:31.100 --> 0:02:35.150 you did like it was. It was. Only the bravest. 0:02:35.180 --> 0:02:37.340 Would have been putting their hand up for that, and 0:02:37.340 --> 0:02:38.630 then you would have had to deal with the fact 0:02:38.630 --> 0:02:40.520 that there was a chance that the roof on the 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.130 house that you just bought was gonna disappear. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.519 Yeah. Going, going, gone. When it comes to the roof 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.030 of the property you're bidding on. Um, so how how 0:02:50.030 --> 0:02:52.340 fast did the winds get? How much rain was falling 0:02:52.340 --> 0:02:55.520 on you? How did the family go in these tricky circumstances, Matt? 0:02:55.550 --> 0:02:58.490 Well, look, it's no secret that Cyclone Alfred was a 0:02:58.500 --> 0:03:02.670 bit of a one minute man on his first appearance. And, 0:03:02.700 --> 0:03:07.290 you know, it was a very quick little play with, with, 0:03:07.290 --> 0:03:09.690 with Brisbane and then and then it was over and 0:03:09.690 --> 0:03:11.310 everyone sort of thought, oh, is that it? Is that 0:03:11.310 --> 0:03:14.040 all you got? But I tell you what, he went 0:03:14.070 --> 0:03:20.550 hard uh, on Sunday like it was pouring for like 0:03:20.550 --> 0:03:26.370 12 hours straight. There was water like pouring underneath our house, 0:03:26.370 --> 0:03:30.179 pouring in from the neighbour's side. Our pool is absolutely 0:03:30.180 --> 0:03:33.540 disgusting because there's this sort of piece of land that 0:03:33.630 --> 0:03:35.730 they're building a house on a couple of doors up, 0:03:35.730 --> 0:03:39.270 and it's just red dirt, and all of that dirt 0:03:39.300 --> 0:03:42.270 is now at the bottom of our pool there. Like 0:03:42.300 --> 0:03:45.000 I had the broom out. I was sweeping water away 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.150 from the from underneath the house. It was it was 0:03:48.150 --> 0:03:51.660 so stressful, man. Like I because I tell you what, 0:03:51.660 --> 0:03:55.350 I have lived, I have lived the last 17 years 0:03:55.350 --> 0:03:57.860 not owning a home and not owning the home that 0:03:57.860 --> 0:04:00.410 I lived in. And so I've lived in a unit 0:04:00.410 --> 0:04:03.560 these things have never like it's never affected me. 0:04:03.590 --> 0:04:05.030 Body corporate. Sort that out. 0:04:05.420 --> 0:04:09.020 Yeah, exactly. And now it's like I'm the body corporate. 0:04:09.020 --> 0:04:12.890 It's so stressful. Like suddenly you're realizing how things can 0:04:12.890 --> 0:04:16.849 just disappear in a second and and. Yeah, so I 0:04:16.850 --> 0:04:19.790 didn't I didn't enjoy it one bit. We we disconnected 0:04:19.790 --> 0:04:22.520 all the gas and everything, um, for the last couple 0:04:22.550 --> 0:04:24.859 of days. So we're only cooking on a barbecue, and 0:04:24.860 --> 0:04:28.430 that's pretty pointless when there's 60ml of rain tumbling down 0:04:28.430 --> 0:04:31.700 on you at all times. We've got pots of water 0:04:31.700 --> 0:04:35.630 on the stove just in case the water cuts out. 0:04:35.630 --> 0:04:39.200 Belinda's mum in Ballina has been without power for two 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.600 days a day and a half, so we don't know 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.210 whether everything in the fridge is going to go. It's 0:04:44.210 --> 0:04:48.980 like it's it's the uncertainty. Alex Dyson that is the problem. 0:04:48.980 --> 0:04:52.670 Goodness me. Yeah. So you you didn't lose power in 0:04:52.670 --> 0:04:54.380 your suburb in in Brissy. 0:04:54.410 --> 0:04:57.109 No, there's some people did and some people didn't. and 0:04:57.110 --> 0:04:58.789 that's why we were kind of on edge. We had 0:04:58.790 --> 0:05:01.760 all this food in the freezer. We're like delegating, okay? 0:05:01.790 --> 0:05:05.720 If the power goes, we're starting with the homemade sausage rolls. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.390 They got frozen a few weeks ago. We're moving on 0:05:08.420 --> 0:05:11.000 to the spag bol. The mince is going to be 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.789 the last one to get turned into a burger. We 0:05:13.790 --> 0:05:15.349 don't know what we're getting, so. 0:05:15.380 --> 0:05:19.190 Flat and round is okay for mince but spherical like 0:05:19.190 --> 0:05:20.000 a globe? 0:05:20.029 --> 0:05:20.900 Yes. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:22.550 That's the Sophia. 0:05:22.550 --> 0:05:25.339 But um. But no. And also we you know, it 0:05:25.339 --> 0:05:28.370 was Belinda's birthday on Friday, so we had this, um, 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.510 dinner planned with, with a couple of friends in the Valley, 0:05:32.510 --> 0:05:35.150 which was this. I talked about it before on the podcast, 0:05:35.150 --> 0:05:38.930 but it's like a six seater special little Japanese restaurant, 0:05:38.930 --> 0:05:39.980 invite only. 0:05:39.980 --> 0:05:41.030 Yeah, I remember you mentioning that. 0:05:41.060 --> 0:05:45.470 We made the booking in October, but of course, Saturday 0:05:45.470 --> 0:05:49.489 night rolls around and they're like, look, we we can 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.239 be open if you want. And we were like, we 0:05:53.270 --> 0:05:56.320 are friends live in a flood zone. So they weren't 0:05:56.350 --> 0:05:59.650 they weren't really amped at the idea of going into 0:05:59.650 --> 0:06:02.650 dinner while their house could end up, you know, halfway 0:06:02.650 --> 0:06:05.529 under water. Plus, our babysitter for the night had to 0:06:05.529 --> 0:06:09.460 drive 40 minutes from the coast coastal area, so she 0:06:09.460 --> 0:06:13.150 wasn't exactly jumping out of her boots to come and 0:06:13.150 --> 0:06:16.150 look after Sophia while we're eating is, you know, ten 0:06:16.180 --> 0:06:18.700 course meal. So we had to cancel it. But the 0:06:18.700 --> 0:06:22.089 good news is we have a new reservation. Belinda's birthday 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.719 dinner will now be in August, so that's exciting. We. 0:06:25.750 --> 0:06:26.680 We've gotten. 0:06:26.710 --> 0:06:27.310 Well. 0:06:27.339 --> 0:06:29.710 Just a little six month delay. That's fine. 0:06:29.710 --> 0:06:32.020 Well, it sounds like I was somewhat similar to the 0:06:32.020 --> 0:06:34.690 position I found myself in, where a lot of the 0:06:34.690 --> 0:06:37.719 rumor mill was heating up last week that Prime Minister 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:42.040 Anthony Albanese would call the Australian election this weekend to 0:06:42.070 --> 0:06:45.190 make it an April election with, you know, and it's 0:06:45.220 --> 0:06:48.430 obviously good looking after the people of Queensland, our fellow Australians, 0:06:48.430 --> 0:06:50.830 and concentrating on that and not distracting it with, you know, 0:06:50.860 --> 0:06:54.370 this bloody popularity contest that comes around every three years, 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.340 going to push that back a bit longer. That means 0:06:56.339 --> 0:07:00.090 the campaign Meadow keen are rebooking once again the ten 0:07:00.089 --> 0:07:00.750 course menu. 0:07:00.930 --> 0:07:03.630 You've got to keep doing it. But do you know 0:07:03.630 --> 0:07:06.150 what was so annoying to me? Like there's all this 0:07:06.150 --> 0:07:10.170 discussion about how this cyclone was man made. Was there? 0:07:10.170 --> 0:07:11.130 And that I think. 0:07:11.220 --> 0:07:11.880 Like we. 0:07:11.910 --> 0:07:12.990 We have you not. 0:07:13.020 --> 0:07:16.650 Go along with different internet forums. Matt Okine when it comes. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.580 Have you not heard about this? People people are genuinely 0:07:20.610 --> 0:07:25.740 on Facebook claiming that this cyclone was man made by 0:07:25.740 --> 0:07:29.280 the US for some reason, right? But it also goes 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.550 into cahoots with the idea that the Australian government is 0:07:32.550 --> 0:07:36.420 using it as a political tactic, and that they were 0:07:36.420 --> 0:07:41.970 working in the pockets of, of Bom, the Bureau of Meteorology. Right. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:42.480 Oh, boy. 0:07:42.510 --> 0:07:45.990 How I got to tell you, if you do get in, 0:07:46.020 --> 0:07:49.500 you know, elected to the seat of Wannon. Can you 0:07:49.530 --> 0:07:52.980 give us a few months of sunshine, please, if that's 0:07:52.980 --> 0:07:56.489 the power that you've got as an elected politician in 0:07:56.490 --> 0:07:57.420 this country? 0:07:57.450 --> 0:08:00.360 Yeah. Getting the weather machine up and going. We could 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.670 give the farmers a bit more rain down here if 0:08:02.670 --> 0:08:05.850 I was doing that one. Goodness. Um. Look. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.210 So. 0:08:06.210 --> 0:08:09.450 Yeah, it's it's a stressful time. People would be stressed 0:08:09.450 --> 0:08:11.460 in many different ways. And I'm very glad that you 0:08:11.460 --> 0:08:14.160 are safe and sound. And the family is safe and sound. 0:08:14.190 --> 0:08:18.750 Matt Okine. A very difficult time for southern Queensland and 0:08:18.750 --> 0:08:20.850 northern New South Wales people. 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.880 Yes, yes, we are bone dry, safe and sound. But 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.160 I want to hear what you got up to over 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.260 the weekend. So let's dive into it. Hey. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.339 La la la la la la la la la la 0:08:32.340 --> 0:08:33.960 la la la. Yeah. 0:08:34.890 --> 0:08:36.689 I started a new job on the weekend. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.470 No. All right, come on. Let me let me add it. 0:08:40.470 --> 0:08:43.199 Well, it sort of started with an old job. An 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.110 old job back in the day of, um, emceeing at 0:08:46.110 --> 0:08:50.579 music festivals because a ripper music festival here in south 0:08:50.580 --> 0:08:56.030 west Victoria, the Port Fairy Folk festival. Absolutely iconic weekend 0:08:56.059 --> 0:08:59.270 every year um, was happening, was lucky enough to go 0:08:59.270 --> 0:09:02.689 along and got given the task. Matt Okine to introduce 0:09:02.690 --> 0:09:05.270 the one and only Missy Higgins. 0:09:05.300 --> 0:09:05.930 Oh my god. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:06.980 Stage. 0:09:07.010 --> 0:09:07.730 Queen. 0:09:07.730 --> 0:09:10.520 I know, and it's a second trip to the southwest 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.500 recently because she popped up with G flip at the 0:09:12.500 --> 0:09:16.070 triple J one night stand down in Warrnambool last year. Okay, 0:09:16.100 --> 0:09:20.210 now back in Port Fairy, which was so sick. Um, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.390 absolutely smashing it. Can you believe like Sound of White 0:09:23.390 --> 0:09:25.490 came out 20 years ago? 0:09:25.730 --> 0:09:28.939 Yeah. Belinda went to the, um, that that the 20 0:09:28.970 --> 0:09:31.010 year storytelling session of it. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.510 Really? How was that? 0:09:32.540 --> 0:09:34.370 Oh, I loved it. Loved every single second of it. 0:09:34.370 --> 0:09:37.040 She was talking all about, you know, some of the classics, um, 0:09:37.070 --> 0:09:40.069 the special two, you know, talking about what that song 0:09:40.070 --> 0:09:42.620 was about. Uh, yeah. Though there was some really good 0:09:42.620 --> 0:09:44.480 stories coming out of it. I was very jealous. 0:09:44.630 --> 0:09:47.390 The brilliant thing about emceeing, and I recommend anyone else 0:09:47.420 --> 0:09:51.260 go into it, people remember always remember you did a 0:09:51.260 --> 0:09:55.780 really good job the less that you do, um, the 0:09:55.780 --> 0:09:59.890 quicker you go from lights going down and Missy Higgins 0:09:59.890 --> 0:10:02.770 coming on. The better. Oh, he did a great job. Like, 0:10:02.860 --> 0:10:05.800 I could just walk out and say Missy Higgins and 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.360 then walk off. And people were like, brilliant. 0:10:07.390 --> 0:10:09.730 Yeah. No one. No one's there to hear you. They 0:10:09.730 --> 0:10:10.660 want Missy. 0:10:10.690 --> 0:10:14.290 Exactly right. So that was wonderful. But I did start 0:10:14.290 --> 0:10:18.460 a new job as well the next night because finally, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:26.559 after months of getting boxes ticked, photos checked off, bank 0:10:26.590 --> 0:10:32.350 accounts and things and everything, I did my first ever 0:10:32.350 --> 0:10:35.050 shift as an Uber driver. 0:10:35.650 --> 0:10:38.050 Did you really? 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:38.740 Yep. 0:10:38.770 --> 0:10:42.160 Now, is this in response? Is this somewhat of a 0:10:42.190 --> 0:10:46.059 boycott of the taxis as well? Is this why you 0:10:46.059 --> 0:10:48.880 did that? Because. No, no, I saw. 0:10:48.910 --> 0:10:50.290 It is awful. 0:10:50.290 --> 0:10:53.500 Story. Awful story that came out of Adelaide with a 0:10:53.500 --> 0:10:58.839 taxi driver and, um, and a Aussie radio host, Ali Clarke, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.929 who got some terrible things said to her by her 0:11:01.929 --> 0:11:04.569 taxi driver because she wanted to go a short fare 0:11:04.570 --> 0:11:06.400 and he refused. So he was telling her to get 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.100 out of her car and then telling her it's really, 0:11:09.130 --> 0:11:13.000 honestly awful stuff. He's since been fired, but I've got 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.600 to tell you, it keeps happening. I don't know, I 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.880 don't know how many stories need to keep coming out 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.330 until the actual industry gets a wake up call. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.710 Well, I yeah, I mean, it's quite short trips around Waterville, 0:11:26.710 --> 0:11:29.290 so I wasn't making absolute bank, but I went down, 0:11:29.290 --> 0:11:32.890 found my first people, picked them up, go for a 0:11:32.890 --> 0:11:35.589 bit and then I had to they asked the question, 0:11:35.590 --> 0:11:37.030 how long have you been doing this? And I'm like, well, 0:11:37.030 --> 0:11:38.020 I'm going to be honest with you guys. This is 0:11:38.020 --> 0:11:40.510 my very first one. And they all went, hey, it 0:11:40.510 --> 0:11:42.700 was like two parents and two kids who were in 0:11:42.700 --> 0:11:45.130 Warrnambool for a tennis tournament. We had a great chat 0:11:45.130 --> 0:11:46.720 as we went around, so that was good. I dropped 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.250 him at the at the wait. 0:11:48.370 --> 0:11:51.450 Wait wait wait wait wait, why are you doing this? 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:52.920 Is this just to meet people? 0:11:53.220 --> 0:11:57.120 It's two pronged. Um, running as an independent. I mean, 0:11:57.150 --> 0:12:00.780 it's a it's a 12 month thing I'm doing for $0. 0:12:00.809 --> 0:12:04.770 You know, because I think it'll be, um, I think 0:12:04.770 --> 0:12:07.080 it'll be good for the area and the country having 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.710 independence in parliament. But you do have to a lot 0:12:10.710 --> 0:12:12.179 of a lot of meat, a lot of people, and 0:12:12.179 --> 0:12:13.560 spend a lot of time. I'm like, well, maybe I 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:18.209 could combine meeting people with, you know, getting six bucks 0:12:18.210 --> 0:12:21.390 to drop them at the pub. So now I got 0:12:21.390 --> 0:12:22.620 to tell you and I got to tell you, it 0:12:22.620 --> 0:12:26.309 is a game changer, man. The amount of people I 0:12:26.309 --> 0:12:29.070 met are really nice. And particularly, you know, it's usually 0:12:29.070 --> 0:12:32.400 with these kind of things. It's younger people on the apps. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.010 So I met a couple of dudes going somewhere. He's like, oh, 0:12:35.010 --> 0:12:36.210 can you drop my mate here and then take me 0:12:36.210 --> 0:12:38.310 to the pub? I can pay you cash afterwards. I'm like, bro, 0:12:38.309 --> 0:12:40.860 just don't worry about it. I'll just it's on my 0:12:40.860 --> 0:12:43.050 way home. I'll drop you. He's like, thanks so much, man. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:44.550 And he found out I'm running for Parliament. And it's 0:12:44.550 --> 0:12:46.679 that thing where, like, I drop him off and he 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.740 just go into the pub because he's meeting friends, so 0:12:49.740 --> 0:12:51.890 he'll go like, oh, guess who just dropped me off 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:52.790 and tell the friends like. 0:12:52.820 --> 0:12:53.330 Hey. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.650 So dude. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:55.850 This is unbelievable. 0:12:55.850 --> 0:12:59.059 This is this is my new hobby. And it's like exciting. Like, 0:12:59.059 --> 0:13:01.010 when the thing goes off, you're like, oh, there's a ride. 0:13:01.010 --> 0:13:03.140 So I like, press the thing and I go, I 0:13:03.140 --> 0:13:05.390 go and pick him up, which was great. But, um, 0:13:05.390 --> 0:13:08.030 I was like, I'll do one more because it was 0:13:08.030 --> 0:13:10.100 just around Warrnambool. It's like 5 or 6 minutes to 0:13:10.130 --> 0:13:12.829 go different places. But then there was one person trying 0:13:12.830 --> 0:13:14.359 to find them, like I called him because I couldn't 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.040 find where they were, like, oh, we're at the bottle shop. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.720 And I went around to the bottle shop and I 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:23.840 picked up the two drunkest people in Australia. A daughter 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.030 and a mum that had been at a hen's party. 0:13:26.030 --> 0:13:31.550 And the it was the most entertaining. And like, I 0:13:31.550 --> 0:13:33.590 was like, oh, this could go south because like, oh, 0:13:33.590 --> 0:13:35.810 we've lost our thing. We had the bottles, it's in 0:13:35.809 --> 0:13:37.490 the dark. They got the phone cameras on. I was like, 0:13:37.490 --> 0:13:39.740 can you put on some music? Put on Dom Dolla? 0:13:39.980 --> 0:13:42.140 And I'm like, I'm like, oh, here we go. And 0:13:42.140 --> 0:13:45.020 then I go, Hey Siri, play Dom Dolla miracle maker. 0:13:45.020 --> 0:13:47.420 And they're like, you know, the song? And then they 0:13:47.420 --> 0:13:49.790 were gone 20 minutes out of town. So I drove 0:13:49.790 --> 0:13:53.839 him 20 minutes out of town and dropped him off. And, um, yeah, 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.470 it was just quite an entertaining evening, really. 0:13:57.500 --> 0:14:00.590 Now, now, just out of interest, how did you how 0:14:00.590 --> 0:14:01.969 much money did you make? 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.910 All right. I've done a total of ten trips, and 0:14:04.910 --> 0:14:10.550 I have made $105.97 in an evening. Ten trips. 0:14:10.550 --> 0:14:12.200 And when did you finish? When did you wrap up 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.010 for the night? 0:14:13.070 --> 0:14:15.950 Um, I got home about 11:15, I think, because after 0:14:15.950 --> 0:14:18.260 that one I'm like, oh, it could be diminishing returns 0:14:18.260 --> 0:14:21.980 here because 100 bucks us. I don't know how much 0:14:21.980 --> 0:14:23.960 a steam clean to get a bit of vomit out 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.050 of the out of the Uber is. But if all 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.230 if if I took one more, I'd just lost it all. 0:14:30.260 --> 0:14:33.770 You you stood on the edge of the WWE rink 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.650 and took one look and turned around and went back inside. 0:14:36.650 --> 0:14:39.290 They Undertaker hadn't even come out yet. 0:14:40.430 --> 0:14:43.130 But it was really, really great. Everyone was really nice. 0:14:43.130 --> 0:14:44.900 So just keep an eye out for me on the, uh, 0:14:44.900 --> 0:14:47.060 the roads of Warrnambool. If you need a lift somewhere. 0:14:47.990 --> 0:14:48.880 Order up. 0:14:54.970 --> 0:14:56.740 Just how you like it. Perfect. 0:14:58.990 --> 0:15:03.430 Click click click click click click click. 0:15:03.430 --> 0:15:04.900 Fish. Click fish. 0:15:04.930 --> 0:15:05.350 Yes. 0:15:05.350 --> 0:15:08.800 Producer James back for a little bit of click fish. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.530 I mean Matt and I have told us told everyone 0:15:11.530 --> 0:15:14.470 about our weekends. James. But what did you get up 0:15:14.470 --> 0:15:16.420 to over the last couple of days? 0:15:16.450 --> 0:15:16.990 Uh, I've. 0:15:16.990 --> 0:15:19.990 Got a new hobby in my late 30s. I'm brewing 0:15:20.110 --> 0:15:21.520 my own kombucha. 0:15:21.550 --> 0:15:23.080 Oh, wow. 0:15:23.110 --> 0:15:24.070 On the booch. 0:15:24.100 --> 0:15:25.060 On the booch. 0:15:25.090 --> 0:15:26.890 How do you. How do you start, mate? 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:31.900 Oh, I've seen someone's kombucha. And the scoby gives me nightmares. 0:15:31.900 --> 0:15:32.440 That's all I'll. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:32.860 Say. 0:15:33.100 --> 0:15:37.180 The scoby is funky, I gotta say. Uh, so it's 0:15:37.180 --> 0:15:40.119 similar to, you know, your sourdough. You have a starter, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.850 you buy the Scoby, which is, you know, where all 0:15:42.850 --> 0:15:45.520 the good bacteria comes from. You chuck that in a 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:46.240 big jar. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:51.630 It's like a floppy, white creamy, congealed blob of bacteria 0:15:51.630 --> 0:15:52.890 that you put in the jar. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:53.220 Yeah. 0:15:53.250 --> 0:15:56.280 And their hotels, aren't they? You have Scoby hotels a scoby. 0:15:56.310 --> 0:15:58.950 Sounds like something you need to show your doctor. You 0:15:58.950 --> 0:16:00.480 know what I mean? It's like you should like. It 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.670 should be like, hey, bro, you need to get that 0:16:02.670 --> 0:16:04.530 Scoby checked out. That's not good. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.200 Yeah. It's not it's not the nicest thing to look at, 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.110 I gotta say. And there's a fine line of like, 0:16:10.140 --> 0:16:13.830 am I doing this right? Or is this growing, like, mold? 0:16:13.860 --> 0:16:15.450 You know, I'm keeping an eye on it. I'm not 0:16:15.450 --> 0:16:18.720 too sure, but I've bottled my first batch, so that's 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.300 in the fridge, ready to go. It's fizzing up, so 0:16:21.330 --> 0:16:23.100 it's it's good. I think I've had a bit of 0:16:23.100 --> 0:16:25.110 a taste. I think it's I think it's good for 0:16:25.140 --> 0:16:25.920 a first batch. 0:16:25.950 --> 0:16:29.250 And what flavours are you chucking in with the Scoby 0:16:29.250 --> 0:16:30.060 in the jar? 0:16:30.090 --> 0:16:33.060 Got a bit of a tropical one to start with. 0:16:33.180 --> 0:16:37.560 I bought a premade flavour kit so that's all. All good. 0:16:37.590 --> 0:16:40.470 So yeah, it's kind of a a tropical vibe. 0:16:40.470 --> 0:16:44.190 Well, I look forward to you. You know, launching your 0:16:44.220 --> 0:16:48.330 own wellness channel on Instagram. I'm very, very excited. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.330 Keep it eye out. Well, alongside that, James, you have 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.970 been trying to find the worst clickbait article in the 0:16:53.970 --> 0:16:56.280 week that we dare not click on, but actually kind 0:16:56.310 --> 0:16:58.620 of attempted to. What did you uncover? 0:16:58.650 --> 0:17:02.610 Yeah. So this one for this week is man who 0:17:02.610 --> 0:17:06.750 broke the record for time spent in world's quietest room, 0:17:06.750 --> 0:17:11.220 reported experiencing several horrifying side effects. 0:17:11.970 --> 0:17:15.570 I've heard about these quiet rooms, and it does sound 0:17:15.570 --> 0:17:19.050 a bit scary because it's so quiet in there. Like, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.730 you make a noise and you can't hear it because 0:17:20.730 --> 0:17:23.399 it just goes like the walls dead in it so quick. 0:17:23.430 --> 0:17:26.790 You've just got the sound of like, your blood going 0:17:26.790 --> 0:17:30.540 through your head or something. It can send you insane. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:31.380 First of all. 0:17:31.410 --> 0:17:32.790 I guess pounding. 0:17:32.790 --> 0:17:35.250 Before we guess what the side effects are. Can you 0:17:35.250 --> 0:17:38.459 tell us how long he lasted to get that world record? James? 0:17:38.490 --> 0:17:43.200 Yes. So this guy is Callum McGinley. He's a YouTuber, 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.850 and the record he set was one hour and 26 0:17:47.850 --> 0:17:51.740 minutes in the anechoic chamber. The previous record was set 0:17:51.740 --> 0:17:54.530 in 2019 and that was 67 minutes. So you did 0:17:54.530 --> 0:17:55.340 a pretty good job. 0:17:55.369 --> 0:17:57.710 See, this is one of those things that doesn't sound 0:17:57.710 --> 0:18:00.530 like it would be hard. Like, I truly feel like 0:18:00.530 --> 0:18:02.659 I could do it. Yeah, but. 0:18:02.690 --> 0:18:06.139 I've sat through terrible movies that have gone for 90 0:18:06.140 --> 0:18:08.030 minutes and thought, I need to get out of this 0:18:08.510 --> 0:18:11.480 so I at least could go 90 minutes. You'd hope. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.850 What's his, what's his name and age again? What's his age? 0:18:14.180 --> 0:18:16.220 Uh, I think he's in his 30s. 0:18:16.250 --> 0:18:19.430 Okay. 30 year old guy, uh, spends a long time 0:18:19.430 --> 0:18:21.650 in a silent room. I'm gonna guess the terrifying symptom 0:18:21.650 --> 0:18:23.810 was he left and decided he didn't want to start 0:18:23.810 --> 0:18:29.510 a podcast. That that was his the side effect. He 0:18:29.510 --> 0:18:32.090 was like, silence is actually okay. I don't need to 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.260 share my opinion. 0:18:33.290 --> 0:18:36.260 Um, I, I reckon I reckon I'd actually be able 0:18:36.260 --> 0:18:38.359 to beat this dude because I've had a lot of training, 0:18:38.390 --> 0:18:42.290 like the amount of medical comedy shows I've sat through. 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.379 Absolutely dead silence in the room. 0:18:46.630 --> 0:18:52.900 Just the blood pulsing through your veins. It was horrifying. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:57.070 That's all you could hear? Uh, no. Oh, is it like. 0:18:57.100 --> 0:19:00.670 Is it painful to hear after, like, your ears adjusting 0:19:00.700 --> 0:19:02.590 to that sort of thing afterwards? 0:19:02.619 --> 0:19:04.750 Or does it, like, affect his sense of taste or 0:19:04.750 --> 0:19:06.700 something weird like that? I don't know. What's the horror? 0:19:06.730 --> 0:19:08.350 What's the horrifying side effect? 0:19:08.380 --> 0:19:10.390 So he had a few things that happened to him. 0:19:10.390 --> 0:19:12.910 You're kind of on the money. He had a burst 0:19:12.910 --> 0:19:18.550 of extreme tinnitus in both ears, followed quickly by pressure 0:19:18.550 --> 0:19:22.119 in his head, and had visions of lights flickering around 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.050 the room. But again, the other big thing he touched on, 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:27.910 which I think you're you're right about, is that he 0:19:27.910 --> 0:19:31.450 said he could hear his own blood running through his body, 0:19:31.450 --> 0:19:34.240 but at first he actually thought it was the sound 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.629 of the London Underground because he was in a chamber in, 0:19:37.630 --> 0:19:41.350 in London. Um, but it was actually the blood rushing 0:19:41.350 --> 0:19:42.340 through his head. 0:19:42.609 --> 0:19:43.900 Oh, boy. 0:19:43.930 --> 0:19:46.060 I mean, all the other symptoms, they're they're similar to 0:19:46.180 --> 0:19:48.189 what it's like being me at one of my gigs 0:19:48.190 --> 0:19:53.379 as well. Just blinded by the lights. Sudden, like pressure 0:19:53.380 --> 0:19:56.590 in the head, like, oh my God, what am I doing? 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:57.640 Ah. 0:19:58.420 --> 0:20:01.930 Um. So yeah. No, we can relate. Um. All right. Well, 0:20:01.930 --> 0:20:06.190 thank you very much, James. Hopefully he can. The gentleman who, 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.990 you know, broke that record could, uh, you know, leave 0:20:10.990 --> 0:20:13.030 the chamber and do the first thing he wanted to 0:20:13.030 --> 0:20:15.070 do with being able to hear again, which was listening 0:20:15.100 --> 0:20:16.990 to him.
