26
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: be a very boring road trip. I think we might

27
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: take the Cynic route, which is quite nice. I'm still sorr.

28

30
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: not sure. But and then once we hit Melbourne, we're

31
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: going to go up to the the country, the high

32
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: country of Victoria. Oh yeah, and we might do a

33
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: bit of skiing. Oh watt, Yeah, that's cute. And I

34
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,600

35
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: mm hmm. Your boy got back with Genesis. I'm doing

36
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: it all in a beautiful Matt Green the way it

37
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: should be. Spect here Matt Green. I'm hoping they'll do

38
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the tan interior, but we'll see. So there's a bit

39
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: of a road trip comingly. But it's a cast sale

40
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: of my and fell through as in I went to

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: buy one and oh here's the thing. Right, So obviously

42
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you know how I'm in not too much of a

43
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: rush to buy a car because our good friends at

44
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: MG have given me a long termer, which at the

45
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: moment is the HS, the Big Boy, and been quite

46
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: enjoying that. It's been good. I thought, well, look here's

47
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: a car that doesn't pop up too often. And it

48
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: was a bit expensive. It was like really pressing my budget,

49
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: and so I got a pretty good not a pretty

50
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: good price. I wasn't happy with it, but I'm like,

51
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm going to do it. I'm going to

52
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: do it. These don't come up much and smens is

53
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: killing me. What was the car? Wait for it? So Genesis.

54
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I drove this beautiful you go around? No, no, you

55
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: go and I drive this beautiful car around and went, okay,

56
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: this is good. Now, as you know, I'm a family man,

57
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: yes I've had I need a family car, and I

58
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: thought it would be appropriate being the family man that

59
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I am, to purchase an Audi ttrs.

60
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so you're splitting from your wife and you're

61
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: getting into no no, no.

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Head dressing for some reason. Stop it. I've got Genesis

63
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: for my hairdressing salon. Business. That's an interesting choice. Okay,

64
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: So I will say here's what I know about you. Yeah,

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: you're not a fan of the TT.

66
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: No, the TTRS I am a fan of because he's

67
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: got the five cylinder engine out of the RS three. Yes,

68
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: that is one I would find acceptable, but.

69
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Just acceptable and exceptional even. Yes, but how much I'm

70
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: cure actually, how many k's are pretty good? About forty

71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: five thousand, what year as I think roughly a twenty

72
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: twenty okay, and how much eighty two drive away? That's

73
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: not too bad.

74
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: How much were they knew they were pretty expensive? Yeah,

75
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 3: because the TT was about one hundred grand.

76
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: The RS was like right up there, one hundred at

77
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: a stretch. I think I think brand new, around about

78
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: ninety five drive away. But yeah, the the RS was

79
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: x y as. I thought this was a pretty good

80
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: deal given what they are one for t trs when

81
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: it was new. So I took this thing for a

82
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: driver and I was like, it was just kind of

83
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: like I've always wanted to drive one of those, and

84
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, these don't come up much. Fuck it,

85
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it for dest drive. Booke didn't dest drive,

86
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: and I loved it ripped the shit out of it. Goodness, Wow,

87
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: what did you do to you? I think I've got

88
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: some Donna's labby according my foot. Sorry, darn's a bit

89
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: of a rolled up tissue paper. I didn't want me

90
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: Johnna properly Donna. Yeah. So I took the things for

91
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: a test drive. Absolute monster, really great car. In fact,

92
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: it reminded me. I got the same thrill from this

93
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: as I would in a nine to eleven, probably more,

94
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: because it's it's interesting when you've got a car you

95
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: could easily rip around and the powers coming from the front.

96
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's just got such control and such

97
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: precision about it. I'll steal it just in case it

98
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: is normal tt. Yeah, yeah, that's right. But it's it's

99
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: just got some seriously good sounds to it and great power,

100
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: and it's so fucking engaged. Like ah, okay, So what happened?

101
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: So I said to we we were going to and

102
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: fro all week. Dealer or private dealer, okay, yep. So

103
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: we were going back and forth all week, and I

104
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: will say this was an Ourdi dealership too, so that

105
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of meant a lot. I wanted to make sure

106
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: that it was going through. So, going through back and forth,

107
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: we agreed on a price finally, and to be honest,

108
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: eighty was kind of my top. I didn't want to

109
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: go eighty two is far acceptable. So we got to that.

110
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: I said, cool, I'm going to come down there on

111
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and I'm going to get this sorted. And

112
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: then there was a sort of like do I pay

113
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: for this hour right or do I put this on finance?

114
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: And so I sort of thought, you know what I'm

115
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: going to just I don't know what they call it.

116
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I'll put basically partial down and then do the rest

117
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: on finance. So I said, can you get your finance

118
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: guy to call me? Because I want to get it

119
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: all sorted. So Saturday morning, I give the guy i've

120
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: been dealing with a call. I said, hey, can you

121
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: can you get your finance guy to call me please?

122
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to come down at midday today and we'll

123
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: get it sorted. But I want to make sure it's

124
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: kind of all paid for and done before I come down.

125
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: And then plus I wanted to know what their rates

126
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: were and stuff like that. So he goes, yeah, no worries.

127
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: So his finance guy called me and I had the

128
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: kid at the time, and I said, look, just give me,

129
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: give me five minutes, so I me just sort this.

130
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: She's just fall bloody, taken a stack on the bike.

131
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Give me five minutes or go back. Call this guy

132
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: in five minutes. He didn't answer. Called him back again

133
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: in ten, didn't answer, fifteen didn't answer. I don't know,

134
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: and then i'd by the third time, I'd left a message,

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: and I think I sent the dealer a text as well,

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: like hey, just waiting on a call from your finance

137
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: guy back. And then about an hour later I get

138
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: this ping on my phone and they fucking sold it.

139
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a bit rough, like pay deposit though no, wow,

140
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: no no money talking in there in a good will game,

141
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: are they No? So I wasn't as devastated as I

142
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: thought i'd be. I was a little bit, but I thought,

143
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: you know what, this happens for a reason, Like, you know,

144
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: eighty grand's a lot of cash. I could get like

145
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: an affordable family view call, like an MG or something

146
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: like that. And then with the other forty grand, I

147
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: could probably get something like a nice secondhand boxter or

148
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: something like that, or an MG. Actually, so it's a

149
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: good exercise because I looked at like, okay, what can

150
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars get me? Well, you know what can

151
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: eighty thousand bucks get me? I looked it up on

152
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: car sales, eighty thousand dollars. You know how you can

153
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: choose from power, power or whatever. Power at the top

154
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: of the pile. And of course it was giving me

155
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: a lot of Tesla fucking performance. So I unchecked that

156
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: and what else was the giving me? It was giving

157
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: me The top few were the MG four x power.

158
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the criterion. Yeah, whereas I like to

159
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: call it sex power because get a lot of action

160
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: in that. So that was good. And they're a good

161
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: looking carton. Yeah, and they're cheap. Um. It was just

162
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: coming affordable, thank you. That's that's the just looking at

163
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: that's on your contract words. Just looking for the terms

164
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: and conditions here. Please do not refer to it as cheap.

165
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: We prefer affordable. And please don't call it an electric car.

166
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: We call it new energy. I so, actually, speaking of

167
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: new energy, the by D seal performance had come up

168
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: as well, which I fucking love to be honest, I

169
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: love those cars. I sort of considered that as well.

170
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: So look I don't know, the jury is still out.

171
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: I thought, well, you know, maybe like a nice three

172
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: series beamer like in line six as well. Sorry, yeah,

173
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: lots of lots of options, but I don't know if

174
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: you've got any ideas. Yeah, hit cardy up, yeah, I

175
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: was talking about you. Oh you're the expert. What do

176
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: you reckon? I don't know.

177
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: It's you said you wanted a family car and then

178
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: you expressly went and didn't get a family car.

179
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: So well, technically I can put the kid in the

180
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: back of one of those. Yeah, so it's family to

181
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: me baby, Yeah, but not practical. Yeah, I don't know.

182
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to think about that. Maybe ask me

183
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: again later in the episode.

184
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a tricky one because, yeah, family and

185
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: cool and performance. I don't think they've now that. Yeah, yeah,

186
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: there you go. There It is not how do you

187
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: go in the wet with that car? By the way, Yeah,

188
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: you don't go great in the way, you don't go

189
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: around corners. No, basically, yeah, so there's that ish. Yeah,

190
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: family and cool, it's a it's a tricky mix. Maybe

191
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: a maybe a Copra Travis scan Oh what travesty that

192
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: would be. I don't think there. I think Coopra are

193
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: great car. Actually, I tell you what I'm gonna I've

194
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: been trying to repair my relationship with the Volkswagen Group

195
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: of later and that. Yeah, that hasn't gone great. So

196
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: I will just say this, the Tea Rock Are I

197
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: find them just underwhelming. Tig One are though. Tig One, Yeah,

198
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: that's a different story. That's a nice that's a nice car.

199
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: The Tea ROCKR.

200
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: They did do an update to the interior that made

201
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: it nicer, and it's got a good engine.

202
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Very quick. Oh see, I didn't think so do you

203
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: press the throttle? Yes, it makes some cute, little like

204
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: complimentary sounds. I was like, okay, this is all you've gone.

205
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: Look at me my Tea Rock card too, dude. I

206
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: was like, Nah, this isn't happening for me. This isn't

207
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: going on. Do you know what really gets to me

208
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: about the Golfers Because there's such an iconic car and

209
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: they're a great car. I do like them. I don't

210
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: know why they've got this kind of vibe of we've

211
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: got to be understated in the way we look, you

212
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

213
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think they leave the overstated stuff to

214
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: Audi they're just kind of sticking with Volkswagen sort of being.

215
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: But the GTI is I would argue that that's more

216
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I guess at Landish if you like, a lot more

217
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: sort of expressive than the.

218
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know the golfers like the executive sort

219
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: of thing. Really I think so, yeah, thank you wull shit.

220
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah there's that. I don't know who's that. Yeah, so

221
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: let me know. Hey. By the way, we did touch

222
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: on the Seal Performance being a great car. Our good

223
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: friends at ev Direct and by d Oh geez. The

224
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: tabloids have gone berserk. They've the mummy and dad have

225
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: split split up. I wonder who's taken the kids. I

226
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: wonder if the cops were called. I wonder if it

227
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: was an argument on the front lawn, just like well,

228
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: fuck you, fuck youa nah, gone take your bloody. This

229
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened with if you didn't do the shark

230
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Si dickhead Gordon, I'm taking the dolphin. Yes. So, just

231
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: for people's background, EV Direct kind of brought by d

232
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: to Australia.

233
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: They were the sort of importer and they set up

234
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: the infrastructure and got everything ready by proper, then came

235
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: to Australia. And there was also then Eagers, who is

236
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 3: a big dealer group, who had an investment in EV Direct.

237
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: So can I just pause this When you said BYD

238
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: came to Australia, does that mean you're talking about their

239
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: flagship stores.

240
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: Look, I don't know the real ins and outs of

241
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: it all. I'm not entirely sure how that all worked.

242
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: But what they're doing now is basically BYD proper.

243
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: Is taking over importing these cars and being the point

244
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: of call for all this stuff, running the marketing, doing.

245
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: The full distributors. They're doing absolutely everything. Yeah, but there's.

246
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: Now a separate company called EV Dealer Group, which is

247
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: basically a venture where Egers owns eighty percent of it.

248
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: EV Direct owns twenty percent of it. And this is

249
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: basically a five year agreement between by D Australia and

250
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: Eagers to then distribute these cars through the existing dealerships.

251
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: It is confusing.

252
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: And one thing I noticed down in Geelong they've got

253
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: Mercedes Benz dealer. And you know, because Mercedes bens has

254
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: been pretty quiet in terms of sales.

255
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm not sad about that at all.

256
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: So they're basically now half of the dealership as a

257
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: BYD dealer, but it's not like separated.

258
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: So all you see is the building that is Mercedes Benz.

259
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: The front half is BYD, the road facing half, and

260
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: then the back half is Mercedes bens but it's all

261
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: in the same building.

262
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, they do that in Gosford as well. With Landrovers.

263
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: The front it's it's very split, I know, half of it.

264
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: And it's weird because Landrover are kind of tucked away

265
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: in the corner and then there's like this there. When

266
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: BYD was starting, it was odd. It was like this

267
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: one car and then they had this one pimply representative

268
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: kid like, well, do you want to show you're interested

269
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: a bow? I do? Do you remember they were delivering

270
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: them through my car? Yeah? Oh that was a hot mean,

271
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't it. I mean what I know, who come

272
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: up with that stupid idea? But I think you've got

273
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: a fair idea.

274
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like it's it's so weird because normally

275
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: what a car company would do is just go, hey,

276
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to sell cars in Australia. But for whatever reason,

277
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: it has just not gone that way. And I sense

278
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: from the outside that there is tension between EV Director

279
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: and BYD because you never knew who to talk to.

280
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: It's like, do I talk to that guy to get

281
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: the thing I need? Or to talk to that guy?

282
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: Well that's you though, that's you in the in the

283
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: car game. Yeah, but how does it work with a customer?

284
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Who are they?

285
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: Who runs the call center when something goes wrong? Is

286
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: it EV Direct? Is it BYD who services the car?

287
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: Who do I pay my money to?

288
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Who do I like?

289
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: There's all these weird questions. So it's I'm glad that

290
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: this has now kind of resolved here. And look they've

291
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 3: sent there's a whole bunch of quotes that have come through,

292
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: and everyone's back padding each other and it's all very complimentary.

293
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: But I think behind the scenes it would be a

294
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: very different story.

295
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see how this plays out too.

296
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if EV Direct would take on other car companies.

297
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: I remember when we had Luke on, he was like

298
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: he had no interest in that sort of thing, so

299
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: judging by that, and he was really complimentary brand, but

300
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: he was he'swall black and Blue, Like they'd never take

301
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: on any other brands, and they were really happy with DDS.

302
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: Why would you bring another like bringing another big brand in. Now,

303
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: there's so many out there that people have never heard of,

304
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: so why would you bring in another one. BYD got

305
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: runs on the board early, so's MG, so's GWM. I

306
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 3: think they're all well established. Now you've got all these

307
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: other brands that have come in that you don't really

308
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 3: sort of know about, that are trying to sell cars,

309
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: and it's just a confusing concoction.

310
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: I kind of also think that surely they would have

311
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: expected something like this eventually, because they obviously had been

312
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: working with BYD for years to get something like this together.

313
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: Then they brought the cars out here and they've done

314
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: a brilliant job, like BYD is flourished in Australia, done

315
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: really really well, and you know, now it's kind of

316
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: got to a point where it's like, hey, cool, thanks

317
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: for setting us up. We're kicking ass. Will take it

318
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: from here, Champ. But that's the thing.

319
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: They've taken all the risk, So I think it is

320
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: fair that they've been paid out, and they would have

321
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: been paid out very handsomely in the background, because the

322
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 3: Eagers investment in ev Direct was in the tens of

323
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 3: millions from memory, so for BYD to basically take over.

324
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: Now they would have to, you know, buy that over.

325
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: I would have thought so it would have cost a

326
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: lot of money. So someone's made a lot of money

327
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: out of this. So it's just interesting, you know, very interesting.

328
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: Have you had an any dealings with the Shark sex

329
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: of recent times. Yes, we did our updated video where

330
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: we took it back. Yeah, yeah, covered that. It was

331
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: still well it really isn't a shitcart. No, it'sat it's

332
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: great for day to day, but just don't take it

333
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: off road, yeah, for that sort of stuff.

334
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: And since then there's just been people trying to just

335
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: desperately demonstrate how good it is road and just failing miserably.

336
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 3: And it's like, it's fine, it doesn't have to be that,

337
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: and I don't care if it is or isn't, but

338
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: it's not.

339
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: And that's that. What's that car that I feel like

340
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: it could be from Deep? It was a weird. It

341
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: was almost like this car ute hybrid. Oh the yeah,

342
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm prett sure that was a deep hell like I

343
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: had the tray cover but yeah, it was kind of

344
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: like a and I'm pretty sure it's coming to Australia,

345
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: in fact, I know it is, but ah, god, I

346
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: can't remember, and I was really interested to know if

347
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: the EO cover right, that cover can be taken up

348
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: full time and you can use it as a tray.

349
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't actually think it can. I think it's just.

350
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: I think you could, Like I'm looking at pictures of

351
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: it here, and it seems to be usable with the

352
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: cover gone.

353
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: It's an interesting, interesting market at the moment. So yeah,

354
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: it's I feel like we're in a We're in a

355
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: time where there's a lot of choice. There's the ice cars,

356
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: there's the hybrids, and then there's the EV. I think

357
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: at one stage we thought, look, EV's are just gonna

358
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: take over, and then I think, no, no, I reckon

359
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: hybrids will be sort of hot property moving forward. I

360
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: think they sort of overcooked it with full EV and

361
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: now like with all these Chinese cars coming in, these

362
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: EV's coming in, it's hard to know. There's so much

363
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: choice going on. You just went to the Shanghai Motor Show. Yeah,

364
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: so Shanghai and Beijing alternate. Did you blend in because

365
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: you kind of look a little bit.

366
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you some funny things in a minute,

367
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 3: So let me run you through the show and the scale.

368
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: Of it first, you do that while they eat some

369
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: while you eat some more.

370
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: So basically Shanghai Motor Show is enormous and if you

371
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 3: look at motor shows in Europe, they're all dead, like

372
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean that, no one really does motor shows anymore,

373
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: and if they do, not many people go there. China,

374
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 3: on the other hand, is insane. So the first two

375
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 3: or three days are media only, and there was tens

376
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: of thousands of people there for the media days only.

377
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 3: Throughout the course of the two weeks the show is running.

378
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: They expect over a million people to come through over

379
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 3: three days over the month that the show is on.

380
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: For the public.

381
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: That's decent now, and it is enormous. It's cross eight

382
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: massive halls. Each hall has like an upstairs and a downstairs.

383
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: It is on another level and there's just so much

384
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: stuff that blew me away. So one of the big

385
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 3: things over there at the moment is live streaming. So

386
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: at pretty much every stand, you had a line of

387
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: maybe ten people all dressed kind of the same with

388
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: a phone on a tripod facing the car. Then they

389
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 3: would put their hands in front of the phone and

390
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: would be doing like hand gestures and would just be talking.

391
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 3: At this for like an hour straight, and what they

392
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: were doing was live streaming the car that was just

393
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 3: revealed so that you could buy it. And then they

394
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: get a commission and they all work for a company

395
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: where this company is getting commission for each car they sell,

396
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: and it.

397
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: Was so funny. Well, I don't understand. So a car

398
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: has just been revealed and they're standing in front live

399
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: streaming it, and then what happens? How are they selling cars?

400
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: But you go by it because everything also in China

401
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: has done through like wa Chat, so we chat is

402
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: not only a messaging platform, but it's a payments platform.

403
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: Everyone has their websites and their portals on there. You

404
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: book an uber or dd through there, like it is insane.

405
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 3: But then they have these people that are live streaming,

406
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: and what would happen is because they're all lined up,

407
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: one would move a little closer and all of a

408
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: sudden they would be in the shot of the next.

409
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: Guy, and they're all yelling because they're just so fucking

410
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: loud in there.

411
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: Then the next guy would move in and then all

412
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: of a sudden, they're all like a meter away from

413
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 3: the car because none of them wanted to be in

414
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: others shots. But because one did it, they all had

415
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: to do it. It was the most bizarre thing I've

416
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 3: ever seen.

417
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: Wow, I'd love to kind of get on one of

418
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: these live chains and work out what they're doing. So

419
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: they're standing in front of the car, they're talking in

420
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: the public, Hey if you want to talking stats, Yeah,

421
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: it's live comments are streaming, So they would be answering

422
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: questions and they'd be just NonStop a car that's just

423
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: been released. That's a pretty incredible skill.

424
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, But they would then have a second phone in

425
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 3: their hands that you couldn't see on camera that was

426
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: all the specs, so that they could just rifle through it.

427
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 3: But they were talking a million miles an hour and

428
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: for hours straight. It was just unbelievable. So we were

429
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: being hosted by GWM and GW and revealed a V

430
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: eight which in yeah in the tank is insane.

431
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: So turbocharged V eight that looked cool. Crazy.

432
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: So it's so cool to see that the car development

433
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: in China has not slowed down and to the point

434
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: where last time I was in Shanghai, which is probably

435
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: ten years ago, everyone was just driving European cars. They're

436
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: all just because that was the status thing. And then

437
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: the guys that couldn't afford European cars, we're just driving cheap,

438
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: shitty Chinese cars, which back then weren't very good. Now

439
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: all of the European cars are ten years old. No

440
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: one is really driving European cars. They're all driving their

441
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 3: national product. And some of them are spending like two

442
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: or three hundred thousand dollars on stuff like that yangwang

443
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: U nine.

444
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that's nice.

445
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: And is that a derivative of BYD Yeah, that's a

446
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: bid division. So some of the other stuff at the

447
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: show that blew me away BYD and Cattle. They sort

448
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: of showcase this battery charging technology that basically will give

449
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: you like three or four hundred kilometers of charging range

450
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: within three or four minutes. Wow, which was really cool

451
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: to see. But the thing is with them as well.

452
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: This isn't like the Europeans where they go, oh, we're

453
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 3: testing a prototype car with solid state batteries. It'll go

454
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: on sale in twenty twenty nine. These guys are like,

455
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: we've got this battery here on show, it's on sale

456
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: from next month in that car. It's crazy insane, And

457
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: it was just the scale and the pace at which

458
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: they're working that has completely blown me away.

459
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: So now here's some weird, weird stuff.

460
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 3: So someone came up to me and they're like, oh,

461
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: can you do can you do an interview for people

462
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: at GWM? And I was like, yeah, what about Oh

463
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: let's ask you some general questions and I was like yeah,

464
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: no drums and like, can you just be here at

465
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 3: eleven so rock. This dude comes up to me. He

466
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: gives me this five pages of fucking words, so question

467
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: and then an answer, but the answer was like ten paragraphs.

468
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, the fuck is this?

469
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: And he goes, I just need you to recite all

470
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: of this and I'm like when and he goes on

471
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: the video interview. I'm like, I can't learn all of

472
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 3: this and I hadn't read it at this point and

473
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: he goes, oh, and it's live as well, and I'm

474
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: like what the fuck?

475
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: And I said to him, so it's GWM, but who

476
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: was the interview with? Well, it was being streamed on

477
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: their global social media. Oh my god.

478
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 3: Reading this and the question was what do you think

479
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: of GWM? And it was all this rambling stuff and

480
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: then it was like it provides me inspiration and it

481
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 3: is one of the world's best car brands. I'm like,

482
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 3: the guy's fucking serious, and I said, I'm not going

483
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: to be reading this happy to be interviewed.

484
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: So it did come. He's what you should have said. Yes,

485
00:25:55,119 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: it emmitts her they make Precision lubric and Blue brookhems.

486
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: And I couldn't say better myself, but you could.

487
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this dude has I saw the trail of

488
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: cameras coming and they said just stand here and look

489
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: surprised when he comes up to you.

490
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what so saw this jude?

491
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: See you?

492
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: Ronald heard his accent and it was an English accent.

493
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: So when he started talking to me, I was just

494
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 3: trying to be a bit funny and talk about Australian stuff,

495
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at this guy.

496
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, he has no idea what I'm talking.

497
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: Jokes are dying in And then we get through this

498
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: this interview and then I'm like, what the fuck just happened?

499
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: And someone said to me, they hire all these white

500
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 3: Russian guys who put on English accents to make it

501
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: look posh.

502
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: He was an actor.

503
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it made sense when I was

504
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 3: talking about all this English Australia type stuff that he

505
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: had no idea about.

506
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: The guy has probably never been to Australia or the UK. Yeah, No,

507
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: it was weird.

508
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: And then throughout the show I would randomly have people

509
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 3: come up to me and ask me for interviews. Oh

510
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: what do you think of this our brand? What do

511
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: you think of the styling? And you would just go

512
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: through and have all of these random interviews with people

513
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: and you don't know where it is. One time this

514
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: dude comes up and he's like, Oh, what do you

515
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: think of the show? Another Russian English guy? And then

516
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: in the background I could see the girl filming on.

517
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: Her phone, but he had not mentioned that. I just

518
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: thought he came up to chat to me.

519
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I can see her filming, I can

520
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: see the microphone on you at least say hey, do

521
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: you want to be part of this?

522
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: Oh? Did you say that to him? No? But I

523
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: was like it was just weird.

524
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: So it was the whole thing to me blew me away.

525
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: And I can see that they're producing all these cars,

526
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: but they're trying to legitimize themselves by employing these white

527
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: guys to do the fronting of everything. They're trying to

528
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 3: break through to a Western World, which I can't of get.

529
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: It is a different way to do things. And to

530
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: be honest, I could see as well. Again because we

531
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: were with g WM. We went to all their cars

532
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: and they had like twelve or fifteen cars for us

533
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: to drive, and we rock up to a fucking car

534
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: park and I'm like, old, what is this? And it

535
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: was literally a car park with all these slalem courses

536
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 3: and I'm.

537
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: Like, what is this? Oh, like a like a like

538
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: a driver defense kind of training set of thing, you know,

539
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: like a like a shopping center car park.

540
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 3: We had no specs on any of these cars, so

541
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 3: I'm frantically googling half of these cars are and we

542
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: then spend fifteen seconds behind the wheel doing this slalem

543
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: and they just rush up to.

544
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: You what did you think?

545
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: And I'm like it had fuck loads of body roll

546
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: and understeered a lot. Yeah, because it's a giant four

547
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: wheel drive. It was like an a ladder frame suv.

548
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, you've set up.

549
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: A fucking slalem course here? What did you expect to happen?

550
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: I just love it if you like hit some poor

551
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: old bird just carrying the shopping to a car.

552
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's this is just and I can see why

553
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: they did it, Like you can't just drive on the

554
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: road in China as a tourist to get like a

555
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: tourist license which involves a test our group. With GWM

556
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: globally had like let's say two hundred journalists there, so

557
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: getting two hundred journalists a tourist license would have been impossible.

558
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: So I can see that they're working with constraints, but

559
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 3: they still just don't get it. And you could not

560
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: get away with doing that with any other brand because

561
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: you would get torched. And look, I was upfront with

562
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: the video that we shot. I said, listen, this is

563
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: all I've got to deal with. I'm going to be

564
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: upfront and say that none of this is really all

565
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: that impressive because none of it was, to be honest

566
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: on that course. So yeah, it was just a hard

567
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: thing to work around, and I think they're still a

568
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: bit naive in terms of how they're working, but I

569
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: will be curious to see how it all pans out.

570
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: And just a side note as well, with the fast

571
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: battery charging stuff, you know, people look at it and

572
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, you know, EV's about to turn a

573
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: corner here with charging but when you actually break it down,

574
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: those charges needed a mega water of electricity. Like if

575
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: you're setting up a charging station in the middle of

576
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: Australia somewhere, or on a high regional highway somewhere.

577
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: To be honest, anywhere in regional Australia getting you know

578
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, ten charges ten megawatts of electricity.

579
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: That is a lot of fucking electricity. So people just

580
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: don't get that. And that's why I reckon. While it

581
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: may work in China where they've got a lot of

582
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: diversity in terms of their power sources, and they just

583
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: do not stop. It just will not work in Australia

584
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: for quite some time.

585
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: I wonder how do they get that working over there,

586
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: Like they've got so many people, and like China is

587
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: on it like people. I just love reading some of

588
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the comments I see in our content.

589
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 3: I'll never buy anything China is. They got no idea

590
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: Like go to Shanghai. It is one of the most

591
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: advanced places in the world. Yes, they If you drop

592
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: yourself in the middle of Shanghai, you wouldn't even need

593
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: to know the rest of the world exists. Everything is there.

594
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: You want for nothing, and they have everything that you need.

595
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: And people who think China is in some economic trouble. No,

596
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: not from what I could.

597
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Tell, like it is. This is a bustling place.

598
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: Their car market is out of control, so you know,

599
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: and they sell over thirty million new cars a year

600
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: just in China.

601
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

602
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: So that's why they can get away with making half

603
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: of this shit because they know that even if you

604
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: only have ten percent of the market, you are bigger

605
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: than the entire Australian market times three.

606
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: And you look at say BYD who are like one

607
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: of the if not the biggest brands saler in China.

608
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, fuck, there's no wonder that they took over

609
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: from MeV Directs and they've got money behind them. They

610
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: just wanted someone else to kind of look after the

611
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: nitty gritty. No, but it's it's exciting stuff.

612
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: So funnily enough, this probably won't make any sense to

613
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: anyone except people with the tech background. We had to

614
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: do like live crosses back to Australia for Sunrise, midday

615
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: news and six pm news.

616
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: Little celeb you have seen it, yeah, but anyway, have

617
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: you got have you got like celeb clout about you? Now?

618
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: Do you kind of walk up and just I picture

619
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: you walking through TV studios and just slapping the brand

620
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: power Chick on the ass get a touts.

621
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: But it was interesting over there because for us, for

622
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 3: our live stream equipment to work, you have to have

623
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: like it accepts six sim cards. It's called a de geio,

624
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 3: and it was very hard to get data sims over there.

625
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: So we had to get one of our locals over

626
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: there to get us these data sims, and he had

627
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: to pledge to return the data sims when we were done,

628
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: because it's like a weird thing for someone to have

629
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: more than one data sim. Oh and I couldn't buy

630
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: it from a shop, just like a data sim for

631
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: a tourist. Oh really, So it was crazy. So it

632
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: was touch and go there because one of our live

633
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: crosses was like five am, so I had to make

634
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: sure it was working and stuff was just a bit

635
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 3: hairy at one point. We've got it working in the end,

636
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: but just even the process of doing that, because they've

637
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: got all these firewalls in place as well, I'm like,

638
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: this may drop out halfway through our live cross honestly,

639
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: just insane.

640
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: I've been to China once and I loved it. I

641
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: was only there for a couple of days. But I

642
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: think it's fantastic. I just you're exactly right. There's just

643
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: some things that China do better and that we've got

644
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: to accept that, like the common section blowing up with

645
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: there's bloody Chinese cash. I'm not briefacing building them. They're

646
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: not even quality mate stuff like that. The Chinese are

647
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: ruling the world with and they can scale and they

648
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: should because like they've put a lot of hard work

649
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: into it.

650
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: They can scale production unlike anyone else in the world.

651
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: You can't, like with all this tariff stuff that's going

652
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: on at the moment, Apple cannot manufacture iPhones in the

653
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: US because A you can't get the parts.

654
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: Network in the US. That's not gonna happen.

655
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 3: B The work ethic, Like I know that obviously in

656
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: China you've got issues with the way some workers are treated, but.

657
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: There's a forest dedicated to it.

658
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: But their work ethic is if you are due at work,

659
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: you're at work, you work hard all day, and you

660
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: go home.

661
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: You don't go on working from home to know because.

662
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: Whatever, like it's not like and in the States, manufacturing

663
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: is hard work because you've got to pay people a

664
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: shitload of money. You've got all of these dramas about

665
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: people who.

666
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: First of all, I wouldn't say it's a shipload of money.

667
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Those people who are working in the Amazon warehouses aren't

668
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: eating a shipload of money. I mean, compared to Australia,

669
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: they would be.

670
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the US dollar is so strong that but

671
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 3: equally over there it's quite expensive to live. Right in China,

672
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: it is much cheaper to live so obviously they're not

673
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 3: the same thing. But it is the scale of manufacturing

674
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 3: and their work ethic and the ability to source parts

675
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 3: over there that makes huge scale production possible and why

676
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 3: a lot of companies are going to be in trouble

677
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: because they've based everything around China and if all of

678
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: a sudden you get all these tariffs slapped on stuff,

679
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 3: you no longer have a business.

680
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the culture is different. Yeah, and that's

681
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: a really good point. That's pretty much exactly why they're

682
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: a powerhouse with this sort of stuff. Except when it

683
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: comes to a little car that I test drove to

684
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: the point where I hated it so much i returned it.

685
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: After two days. They're like, oh, yeah, you're back, And

686
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: I said, just take it, please, just take it. This

687
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: car isn't finished. I'm talking about the Leap Motor C ten.

688
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: It's a stupid name. To start with a stupid name.

689
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: No matter where you look at it, Leap Motor just

690
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: sounds like some sort of fucking learning game for children.

691
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: And seed ten and sound two. Yeah, seed ten. I

692
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: don't know, it just sounds so clinical. So yeah, Leap

693
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: Motor C ten forty five thousand to forty nine eight

694
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: like that little touch. Depending on the variant, I will

695
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: say the best thing about this car is the way

696
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: it looking. What's that handing it back? Well, yeah, and

697
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: it's flicking back. I was going to say the keys,

698
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: but it doesn't even come with keys. It's actually a

699
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty good looking car. I will say that straight up.

700
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: It looks really good. The one thing I found so

701
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: weird was it's got this light bar up the front.

702
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: But you only get that in like Chinese models or overseas.

703
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: It didn't make it past the Australian test or whatever.

704
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: But isn't that so old because there's so many cars

705
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: with that front light bar here there's rules around distances

706
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: of light lights from the center of the car, or

707
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: there's some stupid rules.

708
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: Around that are just and this is you know you

709
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 3: look at the side note the new model, Why is

710
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: just that can pass it?

711
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't understand why this could. Design rules are so dumb.

712
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 3: They just have all of these idiotic things that don't

713
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: exist anywhere else in the world.

714
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 1: So twenty inchalloys, five hundred and eighty lead boot space,

715
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: it's got a decent bum on it up to four

716
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four kilometers in WLTP. Here's where it

717
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: started to go wrong. So the key is not a key,

718
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: it's a card or you can use your phone. So

719
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: I've got a big problem if like your phone or

720
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: a card is your only options to get in the car. Well,

721
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: say you're a fucking mum, you've got three kids, You've

722
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: just come back from shopping, your phone's dead. All you

723
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: want to do is the only way to open this

724
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: boot is with the card. So you can't actually do

725
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: the whole. It says you can, but you can't because

726
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: I tested it. You can do that kind of bootswipe

727
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: under the car. When so say you're fishing around in

728
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: your handbag, you've got no proximity sensing key. You've got

729
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: to get this fucking card out and tap the side mirror.

730
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: No, but I disagree because I had a Tesla for

731
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 3: five years and never had an issue with my phone

732
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 3: being flat. But if you did, you just go to

733
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: the card. Your phone will work all the time.

734
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you've got the card, would that car

735
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: open BI proximity?

736
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 3: No, but your phone has used the rest of the time,

737
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: So why would you then lug around a key. I

738
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: think key's a complete waste of time, Like they're just pointless.

739
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 3: If you can do it with your phone, which you

740
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: always have in your.

741
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: Pocket, say your phone's dead, you can log into the

742
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: app and unlock the car from any other phone or

743
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: use the card. That sounds like a massive dick around.

744
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: I'd never once had that happen to me in five

745
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: years of owning the car. Well, you're a nerd with

746
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: a fully charged phone.

747
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: And I'll say as well, Apple, and this won't work

748
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: if it's an app. But Apple Key, which they use

749
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: for BMW's and a couple of other brands, now they

750
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: actually if your phone does die, there's a reserve battery

751
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: capacity for.

752
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: The key work. Oh okay, so there's fixes for that

753
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: as well. Look, I just found it an absolute punish

754
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: I I just didn't enjoy it whatsoever.

755
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just vastic I'll say, is if you

756
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 3: were an owner, you would just have your phone paired.

757
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, like just using this car to open

758
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: the door and you're clicking it on the mirror and

759
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't work that great to be honest, like you're

760
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: really tapping this thing away. It's like it's still not opening. Also,

761
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I found like the other only way to open the

762
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: boot was to get in the car, use the infotainment

763
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: and click on the boot button. It was just like,

764
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: don't do that. At least the key that you hate

765
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: so much has fucking everything on it.

766
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: Well, yes, I've unfortunately my mystery car from herts as

767
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: a shipbox Pollstar, and that's got the same thing where

768
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: the boot. I just cannot figure out how to open

769
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: it easily without having to use the key. There might

770
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: be a button there somewhere, but I couldn't find it

771
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,479
Speaker 3: and gonna be bothered looking any them, but I already did.

772
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 1: The infotainment doesn't even have Apple car Play or Android Order.

773
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just dumb. The only sort of apps

774
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: it has. By the way, footnote, I think I believe

775
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 1: that's coming, but it won't be an update till the

776
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: end of the year. So to get home to use

777
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: this car's navigation system just was a piece oh shit, massively. Yeah,

778
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: it's got Spotify and Zoom, but that's about it. I

779
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: just I would rather sit down to take a piss

780
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: on an ant's nest then I would sitting in this

781
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: fucking leap motor c ten. I don't say that like lightly.

782
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to like it. I really remember was saying it, going, fuck,

783
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: this is really nice looking. It was all black, it

784
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: looked really slick. But this is a hard pass. I

785
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't recommend it at all. I think they undercooked it.

786
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: I think it's not ready, and I think that it's

787
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: probably got potential. I think they've got a really cool

788
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: speck where it's I like a green on the outside

789
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: and and a tan on the inside. It's got a

790
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: very Donald Trump style tan on the inside. Everything is

791
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: this this weird kind of tan. So yeah, it kind

792
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: of looks nice, but that's where it ends. For me.

793
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: It's a hard pass. I wouldn't recommend it at all. Yeah.

794
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I don't think they've really sold any

795
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 3: of them, so there's not really much to know to

796
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 3: go by. And that's the thing these cars, if they're

797
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 3: not ready and they're not up to scratch, no one

798
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 3: will buy them. Like it's a brand no one has

799
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 3: ever heard of, So why would you go? And now,

800
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: just very quietly as well, I'm now looking at a

801
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 3: YouTube video of the Polster to boot opening from the outside.

802
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 3: There was a button buried near the red o plate,

803
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: so you're going to stick your finger under there, and

804
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: that's where it opens intead somewhere little.

805
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: Ridge round in the Polster anyway, it's a poster five

806
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: coming out posta. Yeah, who cares? I reckon, they're a

807
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: great looking car. We're so divided on the Polster.

808
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 3: I would just never own one because they horrifically expensive

809
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: and depreciate terribly and have built like shit?

810
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: Are they built like shit? So the last one that I.

811
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: Drove was a horror show. It should not have left

812
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 3: the showroom. It was like your elite motor experience.

813
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: I just found them a little bit just mundane and clinical.

814
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Like the inside. I remember thinking it's it's got this

815
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: kind of scandy feel about it, you know, with their

816
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: yellow handy. Yes, it's got this yeah scandy via China.

817
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: It's got this kind of yellow seatbelt vibe going on.

818
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: I was like, it's you know, it's it basically looks

819
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: like an accountant's car who fills his shitty little one

820
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: bedroom apartment with Ikea furniture. That's who would buy that car.

821
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: But they're a nice looking car, pavel A, he's a

822
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: little bitch. He doesn't lack posta too. You've worked with

823
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: it a Mitsu before at their launch event, right, I did,

824
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: I did, mate, I went to their launch event. I

825
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: am seated. Actually your boy am seated. Said the whole

826
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: thing very nice, delicious Japanese restaurant. But I'm really impressed.

827
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm really impressed. These guys have been leaders in oil

828
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: innovation for over a century. You know, they're the ones

829
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: trusted by Toyota and Mazda to deliver precision engineered oils

830
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: straight from the factory, and now now they are bringing

831
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: the same expertise to ossie drivers. What stood out to

832
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: you the most, well, A lot did, actually, Pavlo, thank

833
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: you for asking that non prompted question, and it was

834
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: their nanotailored oil, which is why we're here, because this

835
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: stuff is next level, and now they don't just make

836
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: generic who haa products. No, no, not these guys. Every

837
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: formula is designed with purpose. For example, let me tell

838
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: you something. The IFG three, Oh, this stuff is perfect

839
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: for city driving. This is what you want for city driving.

840
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: This is your stop start traffic, the stuff that puts

841
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: stress on your engine. But then there's the IFG seven,

842
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: This is the stuff for your beast pavlay the high

843
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: performance vehicles. Seven layers of protection seven. I sound a

844
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: bit New Zealand. Seven layers of protection Anyway, they've got

845
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: no cleansing tech. It stops oil breakdown and it even

846
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: just sorts it in the harshest condition. So if you're

847
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: driving a Japanese car, the IFG five, oh, that stuff

848
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: is build for precision engineered engines. It's offering five layers

849
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: of protection to keep your engine clean and running smoothly.

850
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: So that sounds like a lot of attention to detail.

851
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: Oh so much detail, so much I nearly forgot it all.

852
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: But the IOG seven isn't just oil. Just know that,

853
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: because it's like giving your engine a custom suit of armor,

854
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: like a little massage. As well. It doesn't just protect

855
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: your engine, it optimizes performance. If you're into keeping your

856
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: car in its absolute best nick possible. This is the

857
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 1: oil you want, and now it's easy to get too.

858
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: It is very easy. Are you ready for the longest

859
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: website I've ever had to reach out? Here? We go

860
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: au dot Inamitsu slash no no slash tailored slash oil

861
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: dot com. I said to it, amits you, I said, guys,

862
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: don't give me that. Let's just tell them that if

863
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: they search out it AMDSU Australia on the Googles, they'll

864
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: find where they're going. You know what I'm saying. They'll

865
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: ship it straight to your door. No fast, top tier

866
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: oil wherever you are.

867
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: Ok. If it's good enough for manufacturers like Toyota and

868
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 3: mazdav and, it sounds.

869
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: Good enough for me. Hmmmm exactly. You know with in AMIDSU,

870
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: you're getting oil that's designed to handle whatever you throw

871
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: at it. They've been trusted for the best part of

872
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: over one hundred years. Yeah, look it, Amitsu taking you

873
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: beyond engine protection to real driving excitement. I think I

874
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: could read that better. You ready it Omitsu taking you

875
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: beyond engine protection to real driving excitement? Was that good? Yeah? Hey, hey,

876
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: K four, what do you want to talk about anything else? No? Well,

877
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: just KK four, it's like a little underwhelming.

878
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what I found as well, it's got this

879
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 3: throttle hang where but just the breaks are very hard

880
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: to apply when when you release the throttle.

881
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: Was that on the GT line. Yes, the GT is

882
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: the one with the one point five turbo. See, here's

883
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: my thing. Like, I love a Kisidan as you know,

884
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: a former Stinger owner. I think you jumped to my

885
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: Stinger once before. Yeah, we picked up Donnor and we

886
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: had a great night at KFC after that. Oh Jesus

887
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: O KFC works. She loves a greasy box Donnor, she

888
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: loves it, loves a bit of finger licking chicken. Yeah.

889
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: So I was really excited about the K four and

890
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: I actually think the K four looks really good. Looks

891
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: really good, And I reckon the guy who designed this

892
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: would probably would have just taken a seat when the

893
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: final product was put out after he jumped in it,

894
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: because it really does the outside styling such an injustice

895
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: when you hop in it's so underwhelming and disappointing. I

896
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: was in the Sports Plus spec. Here's my thing. When

897
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: you sit in a car and you're getting second from

898
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: the top and you're putting your hands on a plastic

899
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: steering wheel like grip. Whatever you do if you're a

900
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: car company, doesn't matter what speck it is. Put a

901
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: little bit of fucking effort into the steering wheel because

902
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: guess what, it's the thing that gets touched the most.

903
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: Like me, it's it's it needs to look good, you

904
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and it needs to feel good.

905
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: And this thing was just it looked it looked good,

906
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: but it like, as soon as you touch it, the

907
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: whole thing is just one big chunk of plastic. I

908
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: love what they've done with the little logo in the

909
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: corner and the way they've set everything up, but god,

910
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: as soon as you touch it, it's just a cheap hunk.

911
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are they doing? The interior is just bland.

912
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: I did think it just had no colors. It's just

913
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: like the GT Spec has bigger alloys. I think they

914
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: go from eighteen to nineteen. It takes it from the

915
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: two liter four cylinder to a one point five turbo

916
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: one point six, a little punchy thing which I'll be

917
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: curious to jump in. Did that have a I mean,

918
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: you might not have anything to compare it to, but that, Yeah, look,

919
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: it's it's punchy. It's got an eight speet auto, which

920
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: is good. I mean the Serrato this is effectively, I guess,

921
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: a new little sort of Serrato GT with a glower.

922
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: It's not this is the thing. The Serrato GT was

923
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: more sport oriented. This is GT Line. Yes, so it deliberately,

924
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: isn't that? Yeah, I don't know. I just I just wasn't.

925
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: It's such a shame way with it. I just think

926
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: they had so much potential with this, and yeah, they

927
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: really got let down by just some key stuff. And yeah,

928
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: I just it's disappointing. Outside looks fantastic, inside is lackluster.

929
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: Maybe the GT speck is a bit better because I

930
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: think you do get the two tone interior and obviously

931
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: the punchy engine, but you also get I think it

932
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 1: takes it from around about thirty five thousand to I

933
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: want to say forty four.

934
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: It is expensive as well. That's the thing that I

935
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 3: was probably surprised with the most that it's a lot

936
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: of money for that car. I'm just having a look

937
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 3: at prices now.

938
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

939
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 3: GT Line is drive away forty seven grand. It's a

940
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 3: lot of money. And that's the thing when kiya get

941
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 3: it right.

942
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: They really get it right, like they put together a

943
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: really solid car and this just unfortunately was not it.

944
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: This is not it. So what else is what's coming

945
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: up on your horizon? Going to India?

946
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 3: Oh?

947
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you're testing I'm Ahindra or is it a launch?

948
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: Is it a random launch in India? Yeah, it's a

949
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: new Leap motor c C eleven.

950
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be in India, which will be interesting.

951
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 3: And then yeah, then off to the States and then

952
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: off to Europe.

953
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be busy cagey about that India trip. Yeah,

954
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: there's some secret stuff with him. He's a he's got

955
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: a secret Indian lover over there. His name is his

956
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: name is? His name is Rug and Josh yeah all

957
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: over that. Yeah. Yeah, he really courage your flavor. Oh yes, ma'am,

958
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: check out Pavlo's little puppa dumb well listen, have fun

959
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: in India. Yeah, try not to get dissonery, which is

960
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: I think a diarrhea an old term for diarrhea.

961
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,479
Speaker 3: Look, I'm actually have a pretty strong stumming I can.

962
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: My wife hates this about me. When we went to

963
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 3: Ballei ages ago when we were younger, I would just

964
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: eat street food and just drink water from the tap

965
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 3: and stuff.

966
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: And she would just be like, you'd just be licking

967
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: handrails in the shopping center. And I say shopping center

968
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: very largely, it's more of a local market.

969
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like, I just hope you ship yourself

970
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 3: on the way back to the hotel.

971
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Just happened. Touch with it. I'll be in India. Yeah,

972
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: spriting like ies. I mean, you put your finger over

973
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: the end of it. Have you seen those reels where

974
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: it's like just the best of Indian street food and

975
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: it's literally just a dude cut and chicken with his toenails.

976
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: I love that. Guys like chicken breasts at his foot

977
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: and just cutting out by very bad stereotypes. That is

978
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: not what happens over there. What about the Temple of Rats, Yeah,

979
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. That's a real thing. Yeah,

980
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 1: that's a holy thing. Well, you probably stay in luxurious accommodation,

981
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: no doubt, and go over there on your business class

982
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 1: flat and we'll land there on business So that would

983
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: make sense. What's what's the best business class and worst

984
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 1: business class? I bet you'll say quantus is good.

985
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 3: No, Quantus is one of the worst. I think Qatar

986
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 3: is one of the best.

987
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a chuckle me and my Wath.

988
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: We're just on the socials and I said, check out

989
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: where Pavlay is. He's at the airport, but he's acting

990
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: like he's really disappointed to be leaving his family. As

991
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: you took a photo of the Captain's lounge menu Chairman's

992
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: land so good. Oh jeez, I'm really disappointed to be

993
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: leaving my family. But anyway, and loves to Morning the

994
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: loves of Morn. Mister Merrick, would you please, I've told

995
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: you put that shit between two slices of bread. I'd

996
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: like to eat it like a sandwich.

997
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: Yes, but yeah, it just it depends if you're if

998
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: you're paying with your own money. I just think you

999
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 3: get the best value out of something like Katar or Emirates.

1000
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: They're both pretty good. Singapore Lines is good.

1001
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: I would never know. I'll never know why. I just

1002
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: I fucking can't have heard that. It's so expensive.

1003
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: It's gotta be strategic about when you buy your seats

1004
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 3: and stuff.

1005
