Everything is just ghetto. Yeah, compared 506 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: to over here. 507 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 5: Everything over here is like cleaner you got yeah, yeah, 508 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 5: nicer too. 509 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the culture he is is a bit 510 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: more different. I don't know, I haven't been in America, 511 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: but in here, the culture it's we're definitely shifted to 512 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: a more summary kind of like everyone is always jogging 513 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 2: and like working out, and. 514 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 4: There's a powerful stigma in Sydney. There's a there's some 515 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 4: type of agenda, you know, where as a as a 516 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 4: man growing up in Sydney, you just it's always competitive. 517 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 4: You know, you're looking at the other man and you 518 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: know you always want to be fitter or stronger or smarter. 519 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 4: You always to have more money. Is a powerful you know, 520 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 4: that type of agenda in Sydney. And I feel like. 521 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: Also, I guess it's it's we've always been very sport 522 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: dominated as well here in Australia, especially the Islanders, they play, 523 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: they play a big part in the big sports that 524 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 2: we play, especially rugby. Rugby league is dominated by Islanders. 525 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: All the big superstars are all Pacific Islanders. Yeah, and 526 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: then like I mentioned before, if the Islanders that don't 527 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: get into NRL, they're usually doing a physical job anyway, 528 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 2: like security or construction. So either way, like, it's always 529 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: been something that we need to be fit. I know 530 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: for a lot of a lot of the a lot 531 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 2: of the a lot of the time on the streets, 532 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 2: the Islanders here in Sydney that we're used as the 533 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: muscle when it comes to big criminal organizations. When you 534 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 2: see Islanders in a group there most of the time 535 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: they use as the muscle of the group. So they 536 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: always have to be physically capable. And it's always been 537 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 2: that type of thing. I know, back in the day, 538 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: we were always been relied on to take on the fights, 539 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: the one on ones. Like if if a group had 540 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: some Islanders in their gang, you're like, oh yeah they sweet, 541 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 2: Yeah they got Islanders. You know they're going to be 542 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: a challenge because there's Islanders, because there would always be 543 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: the fighters of their crew. I think now it's kind 544 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: of shifted slowly towards is there a lot of scraps 545 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 2: in America, Like you guys scrap a lot in the 546 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: in the streets. 547 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Uh is it just these ones? 548 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: No one's bothered for that in America. 549 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 5: If it was like a tongue and against another tongue, 550 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 5: and they'll probably go But okay, fir's like something like 551 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 5: you going against like a Mexican.
