1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: This is gam nation. So remember I always wanted to 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: be the girl in the Flake commercial. Remember her. She 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: was wearing cheese cloth. I used to love cheese cloth. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: And she couldn't ride that pushbike. 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: She was riding it in a casual way, wobbly, but 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: she was riding in a way like that scene in 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Yeah, wasn't there 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: a girl riding a bike? And that am I thinking 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: of the Mad magazine? 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: That's Paul Newman riding the bike and the girls on 11 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: the on the handlebar. 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what that was my dream. Uncomfortable sitting 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: on the handlebars like a baguette. But the girl in 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: the Flake No, that's what I dreamt of it. But 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: combining you can combine a bike, cheese cloth and chocolate. 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: It's everything I ever dreamt of. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: I knew you. 18 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: I remember watching Beyond two thousand and watching you riding, 19 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: because most of your stories seem to be about wacky 20 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 3: push bikes and non conventional ways of transport. And they 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: had you on this wacky pushbike and you're saying, in 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: the future, we'll all be riding this bike. 23 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: And then you went straight into a bush. 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it was one of those where you sit 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: very low to the ground, you're reclining. 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: What about those freaks you see those guys push bikes. 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: Well, this guy was riding one of those for beyond 28 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: two thousands. We destroyed with him in the States and 29 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: he had three Doss computers on it. 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 3: Why why those ones they sit on the ground. Yeah, 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: and then they feed up And that's what this was. 32 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: But I think I already push bike riders are maligned 33 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: on the roads. Why would you make yourself more maligned. 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: Well, they're not as easy as you as you think. 35 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 2: I was riding one, that's why you went over. 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 37 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: Enough about a flake?
