00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,840

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: too intrigued by the awesome answers. Now a new EPP

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Nice first questions, really easy.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: Full name David Alan John Higgs.

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: Really it's quite a biggie.

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, mummm did it to my older brother too?

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 2: Is it like a grand grandfather's names or anything?

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: I think so?

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, very cool. Biggest fear cutting.

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: My skin and gravel rash.

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: Oh has that happened before?

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:58,679
Speaker 3: As that a lot? I'm an idiot?

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: Do you want to share the well?

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean probably the most famous one was when I

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: fell over with my I I was drunk. I went

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: to sit on the concrete with my hands in my

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: pockets and my hands couldn't come out, so I know

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: the face for the concrete. I no, bless your and

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: I look like Chunk from Gooni's for about two weeks.

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: Okay, well this may have answered the next question, the

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: biggest failure.

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: Biggest failure, hmm, I don't know. That's a weird one.

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: I think I played a lot of sport growing up,

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: and I think I probably due to a really poor

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: temper I and probably a fear of fear of failure.

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: I actually kind of quit a lot of the sport. Oh.

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that wouldn't be uncommon like, especially

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: as a youngster.

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just easy to play a cool and yeah,

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: not do it anymore.

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I feel like you might have an interesting answer this

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: one because you're an adventure kid. I pull this out

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: for people that I don't think are adventurous.

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Have you skydived?

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: No, I haven't. I bungeied a couple of times. Skydies

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: on the list.

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Oh you got to do it.

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 3: It's one of the best things I've done. The bungee

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: in New Zealand, which is like the biggest and south

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: of the Hemispheare and the Canyon Swing there, bungeon in Bali.

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: But I just haven't skydived yet.

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: They say if you skydive in New Zealand or Hawaii

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: because of the mountains, it's the optical illusion that you

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: think you're going to hit them as you drive, but

50
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: you don't. Obviously hopefully is there something on your bucket

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: list you haven't done yet?

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: One of them actually I'm doing in two weeks time.

53
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: It's just it's I mean it's not a big one,

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: but it's just I'm going to see the Killers play

55
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: The Killers at the Bank of California Stadium. Probably by

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: the time this comes out, I would have seen The

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: Killers at the Bank of California Stadium.

58
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome.

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Like I bought tickets a year ago.

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: I've been waiting, like it was even like on my

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: first date with my girlfriend, was like, what's one kind

62
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: you want to see? And it was The Killers? So yeah,

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: very excited about that.

64
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: For me now that this is not my hot seat

65
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: but the National Oh yeah, they're one of my faith

66
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: which I have actually seen.

67
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: So I have you ever swam with sharks?

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't pay too.

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: You're the second person to say that, So you've been

70
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: out surfing and found out I've been.

71
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: Out surfing and then even just like the Lemon Sharks

72
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: up in like the mid Sundays and stuff like that.

73
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: But I've seen a few little things swim around when

74
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: I've been.

75
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: Surfing, So you are a surfer.

76
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm a really poor surfer because.

77
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: In Byron Bay, like every second person that you talk to,

78
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, I got bumped.

79
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: Off my ball. I'm aggressively mediocre. It a hell of

80
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: a lot of things, and surfing is one of them.

81
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: You've got to come visit us in Byron Bay.

82
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: I love that.

83
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, what's your favorite beverage.

84
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: At the moment? I mean it sounds a bit doochey,

85
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: but it's there's a It's eighteen eighty nine whiskey in Montana. No, yeah,

86
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 3: but probably is the way I say. The number eight

87
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: isn't heard by the American ear so when I try

88
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: to order eighteen eighty nine at the bar, it just doesn't.

89
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: They're like, we don't have that, So what do you

90
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: have to get eight eighty nine? It's like water or

91
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: I just like, look at my girlfriend, she knows that

92
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: she has to translate.

93
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: So good favorite TV show of all time? We might

94
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: know the answer?

95
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean Yellowstone is definitely there, or I mean

96
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: all time, all time, all time? Really rewatch Modern Family

97
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: a lot of late and I'm still it still holds,

98
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: it still holds up. Or if we're going to go fresh,

99
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: we could go ted LASSU.

100
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: I have seen that. I keep getting told do.

101
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: Yourself Apple TV, just go buy a new phone. It

102
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: gives you Apple TV free for a year.

103
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that's great. And what about movies?

104
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Favorite movie I've got I Love You Man, haven't seen

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: it last The Mohicans, which probably is maybe not politically

106
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: correct anymore, but Daniel day Lewis, it's a very very

107
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: old one. And then Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves with

108
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: k koh We.

109
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: Love him, we love him.

110
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Are you a reader occasionally?

111
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Do you have a book that you're like, Okay, I

112
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: know that's one of my faves that I could pick

113
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: up again, Like a.

114
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: Lot of people like Love the Alchemist, and.

115
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean I did. I do Love the Alchemist. I

116
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: read a lot of Leon Yuri's books when I was younger,

117
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: which which about the Holocaust and people like escaping, and

118
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: they were really heavy. I don't know why I was

119
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: reading when I was fifteen sixteen, but I probably would

120
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: reread them, like I think everything I read has to

121
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: have a bit of a history element. So I've got

122
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: a big stack of Montana history. Yeah, I got a

123
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: couple of really good ones I need to get through.

124
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: Can you tell me which ones you rate?

125
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm currently in the Warmth of the other Sons,

126
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: which is about the great migration of like people leaving

127
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: the South during the thirties and forties and how you

128
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: know a lot of black people made it to the normies. Yeah,

129
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: and it's really interesting. It's follows three people's stories from

130
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: the South and shows that, you know, the stuff that

131
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: we sort of see in those movies didn't really happen

132
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: that long ago.

133
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: And often some of the stuff that's seen in movies

134
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: cannot be that true to Hollywood. But that's why I

135
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: love Taylor Sheridan because he'll always bring on an expert

136
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: and he's like, I want on a true story.

137
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely, favorite song, favorite song. I mean, I could just

138
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 3: say it's my karaoke song. So we'll do And that's

139
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: mister Brightside the Killers. I'm pretty confident with that. I'm

140
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: not good at it, but I'm super confident and you know,

141
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't need we don't need

142
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: the TV's. I mean, I'm horrible at it, but it's

143
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: a for effort.

144
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: If you had a spirit animal. What would it be?

145
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh, um, it'd just be a puppy dog.

146
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: That's say you've got golden retriever vibes going on here.

147
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: Worst habit, Oh, worst habit probably my phomo. Okay, can't

148
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: be the last to leave something. Can't be the last

149
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: to like, you know, if we're still at the bar

150
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: and there's one more person like, no, no, what if

151
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: I go home and that's it's not a good it's hard.

152
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: Okay?

153
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: What about best best habit? Oh? What's a good habit?

154
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: Probably just maybe just being upbeat? Is that a habit?

155
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: It's a trade. Yeah, yeah, you're lucky last, So don't worry.

156
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: You're out of the you're.

157
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: Out of the sea. I think that was that best

158
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,520
