Speaker 1: Have you had a look at the very first one?

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Because I bet the haircuts and poses have changed a

00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: bit over seventeen years.

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320

19
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040

20
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: did you get chosen to be in the calendar or

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: did you put your hand up and volunteer?

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: How does it work? It's a volunteer thing.

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so having three kids myself and seeing all the

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: fantastic work that the money goes towards the Perth Children's Hospital,

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 4: I thought it would be a bit rude to not

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 4: volunteer at time to.

27
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: That's a great opportunity.

28
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, would be able.

29
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: To do that.

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: Ryan, what's it like, mate, doing the idea of dancing

Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind today.

34
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: I don't mind shaking the tail feather every now and then,

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 5: so okay, it should be fun.

36
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a good cause.

37
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: And I think the boys on station as well support

38
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: the calendar and everyone that's in it, so it's not

39
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 5: really you know, it's not really something to shy away

40
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: from when.

41
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,000

Speaker 3: I guess about.

44
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,399

45
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: So we'll see how we go. Behind this post exactly exactly.

46
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I've just been informed that Nathan is July and Ryan

47
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: is August. It says in brackets with dogs.

48
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a couple of great runs this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

49
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: I actually wanted.

50
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: To use my own dog, but yeah, we'd teed up

51
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: with this rescue greyhound play.

52
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: It was called rescue dogs around or something.

53
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but sounds good.

54
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: Yeah that they were pretty good. Dogs are big. They

55
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 5: made me look quite skinnyself so big. But yeah, they

56
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 5: came up really good.

57
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: And at all the respect.

58
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, are you rescuing one? Is it over your shoulders?

59
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: It just got them on hold me?

60
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's going on.

61
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: Being a firefighter. I mean, as we all know, such

62
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: an honorable, amazing job. We're always amazed by people that

63
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: run towards something that the rest of us are running

64
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: away from.

65
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: So we thank you for that.

66
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: I saw a story in it was on the news

67
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: this morning about a little kitten in Western Sydney getting

68
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: getting rescued from a dashboard of a car, and I

69
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: was already going to ask you have you been asked

70
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: out to rescue cats before?

71
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: From situations?

72
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: Many times?

73
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Many?

74
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: It's not just an old sort of joke. You have been.

75
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think you'd be more surprised that the

76
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: amount of birds you rescue from trees.

77
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, would have thought you think it's been sort

78
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: of natural habitat for them. But I guess if you

79
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: may know once avery is in cages. Yeah, exactly exactly right.

80
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: I think if you saw an em you stuck in

81
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 5: a tree'd be concerned. I would be a little worried,

82
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: like a pigeon or a dove. Yeah, it's pretty odd.

83
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: So cats up trees, cats in cat dashboards, cats down holes.

84
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: I have been to every single one of those.

85
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, ducks and drains, they're pretty cute.

86
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 5: That's yeah.

87
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have special equipment for all that stuff or

88
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: is it just like working out at the time of

89
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,279
Speaker 3: guy special.

90
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: For rescuing ducks had a lot of elbow Oh yeah,

91
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: of course.

92
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: Literally.

93
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Seriously, though, I mean, people must be so grateful to

94
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: you when you rescue their beloved you know, animals.

95
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think like usually if people are seeing us

96
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 5: in their moment and need they're having a bad day.

97
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 5: But says rescuing cats and stuff, it's they're okay, it's

98
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: just the cats that are in trouble.

99
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: You draw the though. There must be some of you

100
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 3: go I'm sorry, but we can't do that.

101
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: I guess it's up to the command center.

102
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, especial if you're busy.

103
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, if they turns out to something we say no,

104
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: we'd probably get in trouble of pineapple.

105
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the pineapple.

106
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: Is that a nim joke? Now, obviously, when you sign

107
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: up for a sexy calendar, there's going to be a

108
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: bit of objectifying. How much objectifying is too much objectifying?

109
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: What's crossing the line? Has anyone ever scared you? I'm

110
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: pretty single. So Nathan's off Friday week November ten. As

111
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,720

114
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Nathan, before you became a firefighter, I understand you rescued turtles.

115
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: You're quite perfect.

116
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,240

Speaker 2: Yeah, it was amazing, beautiful boys.

121
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: Had people get their hands on this is calendar. That's

122
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: the easiest way.

123
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: This way it would be to buy tickets to the court.

124
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,640
