1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Nation, having dabbled in concrete back when I used to

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: work for.

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 3: A living it dabbled in concrete, but I did.

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: A bit of concretette, largely just rendering sewel pipes and

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: things like that. But we'd put a slab down every

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: now and then, so I had great empathy for these

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: poor concretors. In Brisbane, there was a news story last

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: night about a kangaroo that pounced all over their work.

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Well, many a footpath has been defaced as the concrete sets,

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: but rarely like this, the kangaroo bursting out of the

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: bushes to ruin the freshly completed work of a group

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: of tradees in Brisbane who were definitely not happy. The

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: offender quickly fled the scene of the crime.

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: See I reckon if you saw a messy bit of cement.

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: But the story was that a kangaroo had done that.

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: That would become a tourist destination.

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: To become a thing.

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: International tourists would say, that's done by kangaroo. That is

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: so quirky, because who, well, you know, what are the

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: places in the world Nowhere, obviously are you going to

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 3: get conquer wrecked by a kangaroo. Sometimes the footballers are over.

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: Since when I'm walking along, when I'm walking along the

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: road and I see some fresh concrete, I'm always tempted to,

25
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: of course write my name in there or put a

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: handprint or something. Of course you are. I don't do it, though,

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: because you know, I used to do it for work,

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: and I know that the person doing it wouldn't be

29
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: happy with it. I've never really made concrete. Or it's going,

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: oh go, I might have at it, go and write

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: your name in there.

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: Well, it's human nature to want to do it. Barry

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: Debois said that recently, well human nature.

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: They did it outside Rudy hilaroself I saw the marks boys.

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: Barry said that there was some fresh cement being laid

36
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: outside his house.

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: So he wouldn't be happy with it.

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 3: No, his kids were writing in it, and a lady

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: said stop that, and he said to the kids. No,

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: those kids were terrified of her. And he said, no,

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: you keep going. And she said, how would you feel

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: if this was your cement? He said, it is mine.

43
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: It's outside my house. Kids keep going, although it's probably

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: a medium strip.

45
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: See, this is the debate. Is it yours or is

47
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: it not, but he was saying, I'd be very happy

48
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: to look at this for the rest of my days,

49
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: to see my kids name in it. Who could resist

50
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: doing it?

51
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: You know, because it's funny. Every day I walk along

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: a footpath near my house and it's got Queen Rocks

53
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five and there is and there's a guy

54
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: called I think it's FW nineteen eight was here in

55
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five and it's got Queen Rocks And I'm

56
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: thinking that was just when Queen had released the Works

57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: album and so that was a big deal. Queen were

58
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: and they still indeed rock. But what a moment. That's

59
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: what a moment and cased in that concrete.

60
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: And teenagers writing you know, their initials, AK Loves BM,

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: not Bowel Movement, Barry Manilow. But those relationships are so fleeting, Yeah,

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: when you're a teenager and there's mostly in New dreams,

63
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: but there it is in concrete. There's something romantic about it.

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: I remain He said that I'd be annoyed if it

65
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 3: was all over the front of my house.

66
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: While I We're living in Brisbane and they recently they

67
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: did the curb and gathering outside our place and the

68
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: kid across was a bit of a pain in the

69
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: neck and she wrote her initials in the gutter and

70
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: I was like outraged because she was a bit of

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: a pain in the neck. I went, oh, man, that's outrageous.

72
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: If the kid was not a pain in the neck,

73
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how it would have felt.

74
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: But you know, it was a personal gripe.

75
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: It was a personal gripe, but you know it was

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 2: perfect concrete. So there's a bit from colum An, a

77
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: bit from column B there as far as well.

78
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not going to get something more Australian

79
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: than wet cement being trashed by a kangaroo.

80
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 2: Yeah,
