5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 3: on holiday? You would have been drags somewhere, so you're

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: always in one or two camps.

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: You're rather the dragger or the dragon or the drag

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: e lagging him behind. Know what about two meters?

9
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: Try not to look at your watch, but want them

10
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: to search see that you're looking at that.

11
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: How long would you actually plan on being here?

12
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: You go somewhere, the minimuster coach trip, other strangers on

13
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: the holiday, you got dropped off, the hotel, all that.

14
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: Kinds of the money you paid.

15
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: You know, you're wasting a day when you could just

16
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 3: be sat by the pool doing nothing, having cocktails. You're

17
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: going to do something and then it's a terrible, terrible

18
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: anti climax.

19
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: I remember when on the way to.

20
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: Take the kids to the first time the year before

21
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 3: we moved here, and when I came out for a

22
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: secret spying mission. Actually I actually managed to get into

23
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: this building because I want to have a look around

24
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: before decided where we actually could do it. So we

25
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: went to a couple of places of Australia and then

26
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: came here to Melbourne and took the kids here for

27
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: the first time before deciding if we were really going

28
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: to emigrate.

29
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: And I remember on the way, I said, way, we've

30
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 2: got to stop over.

31
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 3: Can we stop over in Hong Kong so I can

32
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: see the Bruce Lee statue?

33
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm dragging.

34
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: I'm making a detour via Hong Kong purely so I

35
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: can see a Bruce Lee statue.

36
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: So we have to get We get Hopeles. He lost right.

37
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: It's actually very confusing to get around Hong Kong, and

38
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: we're all wide eyed, very tired, and we end up

39
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: getting one uber. He drops us the wrong place, getting

40
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: another one. It's a bit nearer, but the other side

41
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: of the big freeway with three different ubers. We get

42
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: there and the first thing I hear is Chris, I

43
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: think it's boarded up, and I'm like, you know.

44
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: You almost start to cry. It is boarded up.

Speaker 3: They do it every ten years to clean Bruce What

46

49
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: so debrace. My whole world around me shattered.

50
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: I never got still not seeing the Bruce Lee stay.

51
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: But imagine how clean he is now?

Speaker 3: I'm going to welcome to the show, Kenny, Thanks for

78
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: giving us a call. What is the dumbest thing you've

79
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: done on holiday?

80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 6: The dumbest thing I've done on holidays? He said, I

81
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 6: have to go to all the land drover factories in

82
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 6: England and any other car factory. My husband can get

83
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 6: us into.

84
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, about any car.

85
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not that interesting really to go and

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: see how they're made by robot.

87
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 6: How they're made by robots, Birmingham Hazelwood.

88
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Or the.

89
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 5: Once you see one factory, haven't you seen them all?

90
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 6: Right? Right? And you know because as we were told

91
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: in the factories, they have to test them to make

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 6: sure they leak so when it rains you get wet.

93
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 6: And one of the worst things that happened is are

94
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 6: so disinterested. I fell flat on my face in front

95
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 6: of all the work is I fell over a safety barth.

96
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: I still would have been at least that's mildly interesting

97
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: thing that happened for you.

98
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: I got a feeling with a dry for how about

99
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: you ken it? You threw yourself to the ground.

100
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: Then after that, my husband drives me to the land

101
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 6: River Experience, where in England there's got like a fake

102
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 6: land drover jungle and we have to drive through water

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 6: in the car.

104
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: This is just.

105
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 6: You know, I saw a fox and I said to

106
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 6: the instructor, you want me to floor it and go

107
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 6: for it? Oh no, we're going to kill the foxes

108
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: here in England.

109
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: They are now protected, put in prison.

110
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 6: You gave her apparently Apparently so I wasn't very popular

111
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 6: and that true.

112
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: The thing about car factories is, you know, you think

113
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: about the UK and all the beautiful places you know,

114
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: and see car factories in industry at the States.

115
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: They're just I was. So there's places, aren't they.

Speaker 6: and all these other places. I can't even tell you.

119
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: Why does he want to drag you around these factories

120
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 4: building cars of Europe?

121
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:20,599

138
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: We're talking about the dullest thing you ever done on holiday.

139
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: I just remembered the thing as well. My wife has

140
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: dragged me to so many things on holidays. One of

141
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: the ones we did it wasn't here on Victoria, but

142
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: there is a bat sanctuary. She took me to a

143
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: bat sanctuary.

144
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: And bats can be interesting though, Yeah, all right, yeah

145
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: for a minute, an hour and a half.

146
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: Of course, once you're there and they're doing you know,

147
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: important work and serving them a rescuing them. You felt

148
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: like you can't go after five minutes, right, because they're

149
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: like volunteers. You're not what volunteers like they you know,

150
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: they're very intense people.

151
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: This is their life. And you don't think about bats stink, Yeah,

152
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: they do it, Oh my god.

153
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: And you imagine like there were over two hundred bats

154
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: there right, the stink of the pee and muck, and

155
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: they're all hanging upside down and stuff like that. Once

156
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: you turned a couple of those snaps, you're like.

157
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: The gift shop. There are you in a cave? No,

158
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: in a.

159
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: Greenhouse like backout, currents and stuff like the old bats
