1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: All right, well this is a super treat this morning

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: are oil producer Greg who is now living in the UK.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Remember we farewell in with that very sad montage of songs.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Don't Greg joining us this morning to tell us how

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: hot it is over there? Hello Gregory?

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Morning, and my god, is it hot? I mean we

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: laugh at the bridge at being you know, twenty five

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: degrees and they're in a heat wave and all that

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: sort of thing. But I have never seen anything like

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: the last two days over here. It's been so hot, well,

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: so hot.

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: I would guess that twenty five degrees there is a

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: lot different to what twenty five degrees here feels like.

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 2: It really does. Like an average summer over here sort

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: of hovers between twenty three and about twenty eight degrees. Yeah,

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: But the thing is most of England's landlocked, so there's

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: no breeze. It's all humidity. So, you know, twenty five

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: degrees we always say running around here, you know, add

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: six or seven degrees or whatever the teen is, and

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: that's what it kind of feels like. The purse. Yeah,

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: And the other thing that we've made, like the summation

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: of is when you go outside in thirty seven degree

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: heat and perth. It's like the sun hits you. You

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: can feel the sun and it's like being on a gorilla,

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: like on the barbecue.

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like being stuck in the oven here because

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: it's just the heat that's all around you, and it's

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: just it's so subtle and it's not till you're actually

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: round in it that it gets hot. And the other

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: thing is there's no air conditioning over here help personal winter.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: And they're not able to retain heat, not let it out.

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: And warm drinks everywhere. I want a cold drink.

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, tea very odd, Yeah, very very odd. Yeah, very odd.

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: Hey Greg, be honest, mate, Have you paid twenty five

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: pounds for one of those chairs in Hyde Park and

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: taken your shirt off and put a hanky on your head?

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: They put a hanky on my head last night because

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: it was so hot last night. I mean heat rises.

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: All the bedrooms are upstairs in this country. There's no

41
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: air conditioning. It's still daylight at nine o'clock at night,

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: so you know it's and the hottest part of the

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: day doesn't hit till that five or six now afternoon,

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: so the house is hot the whole time. It's like

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: being in the nineteen seventies in the Sessa's house and

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: you've got the fans going, you can't.

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: Fire.

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: Let's say, you can't buy a fan here to save

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: your life. At the moment, they all sold out. The

50
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: freezer sections have been emptied at the supermarkets. There's no

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: ice there's no ice cream. It's mad. It's utterly mad.

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: The Brits have gone bonkers because they were built for it.

53
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Nor is there a saying, because you know here, if

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: it gets hot with the we're all hot enough for you,

55
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: is it? How are they handling it the locals?

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, I had a girl who I worked with who

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: came in the other day. It was nineteen degrees the

58
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: other day, and she came in and she goes, oh,

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm baking and I'm sitting there in a jacket, and

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, this is just so hilarious.

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: But she honestly just wasn't coping. They've got fans on

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: them at desks at nineteen degrees and you're like why.

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: But when you get to know it, it kind of

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: makes more sense. But when you're a part of it,

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: And like I said, the last two days here have

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: been nuts. Last night was the hottest night on record

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: in the UK twenty six degrees and it felt like

68
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: it was about thirty six. It was so bloody hot.

69
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and what are people want? You know, you're having

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: trouble getting the fans or anything.

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: I see. What are people doing to stay cool? Are

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: just heading outdoors? Yeah?

73
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: Most of them? A lot of people that This will

74
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: make you laugh. So the roads have been melting over here,

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: so it's dangerous to the on the roads because the

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: roads aren't built for the heat that cold. Yeah, so

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: you feel like you're driving up to a puddle on

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: the motorway and it's actually the tar melting on the road.

79
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: I saw that at the starfternoon and bid the train

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: tracks a warp. They've stopped most of the trains and

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: out of London today because it's too dangerous to have them.

82
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: The other thing is the tubes stopped for a couple

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: of hours a day because the tubes on their conditioned either,

84
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: so you know, it's actually a health hasn't have all

85
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: those people on the tube at the same time in

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: this sort of heat. It's mad. So they've stopped all

87
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: of that. So now I'm want to work today. We

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: all sort of stayed home and worked from home, bor

89
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: boris in their conditioned houses.

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: I know you won't have you got your leadership, you've

91
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: got any leadership in the UK at the moment what's

92
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: going on.

93
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: There's no leadership, mate, that hasn't been leadership here for

94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: the last two years.

95
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: It's a good party, essentially. Is it over?

96
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: The worst of it's over today? It's already dropped down

97
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: currently twenty four degrees and it's what's this up to

98
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: midnightet here? So it's twenty four degrees that's as cool

99
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: it's going to get tonight. But then tomorrow there's thunderstorms

100
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: and the temperature actually doesn't move from that. So we've

101
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: got a couple of days of progress buy from it.

102
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: And it's supposed to be warming up again next weekend.

103
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: But when I say warming up, it's back up to

104
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: its normal sort of twenty seven twenty eight, So it's

105
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: not too bad, okay, But yes, the worst of it

106
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: is over. We can we can breathe inside of relief

107
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: and actually get some sleep. That would be nice.

108
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, just after midnight. We love that you

109
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: stayed up late to talk to us. Mind, you wouldn't

110
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: have been asleep anyway.

111
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: No exactly. We've got the cold seat ready to go,

112
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: and I've got the flannel ready to go on my

113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: head again tonight. We're good to go.

114
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Well, enjoy life in the oven, not on the I've

115
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: got on the barbie.

116
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will.

117
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: Thank you so lovely to hear you.

118
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: This is to bye.
