Speaker 1: It has been hot and it's going to be hot

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: on the weekend, but that hasn't stopped people coming out

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to the shows.

13
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's good. No, the air conditioning at my

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: venue is full blast. They're just shoving igloo after igloo

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: of ice into it, keeping it fed. Yeah.

16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 2: I guess you'd probably think, what are you people winging about?

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: You don't know heat.

18
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: Oh I've been on the surface of the sun or

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: anything like that. But it's good. It's a nice dry heat,

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: I didn't se any drug dealers walking down down the terrace,

22
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: so down Hay straight on the way and did you

23
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: tell no, I didn't.

24
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: I did see a guy with a leaf blower, though

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: he caught him. No. Remind we've got a neighbor at home.

26
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: It's going a leaf blower. He always has to do

27
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: it at seven in the morning.

28
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: I love that On a Sunday.

29
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a lovely noise.

30
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: I decided that, you know, if he's going to clean

31
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: his driveway with the noisiest thing he can find, I'm

32
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: just going to start cleaning my driveway with an airhorn.

33
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: It's six fifteen hour in the morning. It's slow, but

34
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: it's noisy.

35
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: Trouble.

36
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: What can we expect at this show? Not here to

37
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: beep we shall say spiders.

38
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: Well I'm definitely not beeping spiders, you know what I mean.

39
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: But you know, it's just I mean, I guess kind

40
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: of what I get up to is I watch the

41
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: world around me and how it develops, and then I

42
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: mock that for being stupid and ridiculous, which for the

43
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: most part it is, you know what I mean. I

44
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: think pretty much the only thing I don't talk about

45
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 3: in this show is Taylor Swift. Really, it's a tailor

46
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: Swift for his own. If you're looking for one of them.

47
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: Might just as well.

48
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Nothing against hers, pretty much the only one we've been saturated.

49
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you can't. You know, you can't escape

50
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: her and good honor whatever, you know what I mean.

51
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: But I feel like people don't go to Taylor Swift

52
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: concerts anymore because they want to hear the music. They

53
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: want to go and just scream in their friends faces

54
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: for forty five minutes, just alternate friends and alternate screams.

55
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

56
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: You know, if you want to pay three hundred bucks

57
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: for that, good on it.

58
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: Exchange bracelets and all the rest of it.

59
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: We're obviously paying children too much though, because she has tickets,

60
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 3: I like three hundred bucks, right, yeah, even fifteen year old's.

61
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Got that much and they're flying into state, you know,

62
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: because she's not coming here at birth. Oh not like

63
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: you's only going to Sydney in Melbourne.

64
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: Wow, you know. That's that's why I'm better than taking

65
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: give the people what they want, right, I'm the Mountain.

66
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: I'm coming to my home. Yeah, yeah, exactly right.

67
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well going to theirs. He said, there's like a

68
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: blanket coverage right now, like excessive fame. But chop, how

69
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: have you handled Phane mate, because there's a bit of

70
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: infamy there.

71
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a bit of infamy there, you know

72
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: what I mean. But I like to keep a low profile. Yeah,

73
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: you know, un around. Yeah. I was quite taken aback

74
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: by that, as you can.

75
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: Tell, was a little embarrassed.

76
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: I was expecting a bit of a riffin, but you

77
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: were like, he's a compliment. I don't have to do

78
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: with that. Thank you. That's very nice.

79
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: You're just saying this show, you're sort of you see

80
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: the things going on around you, and then you mock them.

81
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: You've had some thoughts I've noticed on your Facebook page

82
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: about married at first Sight.

83
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if I can say any of

84
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: these out loud at this time.

85
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: Is it all possible to censor it on the run.

86
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: It's more you had some ideas for other dating shows.

87
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, one of them. I definitely can't say, yeah, yeah, No,

88
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: two of them. I can't say, okay, this is yeah.

89
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: That's too too hot radio license, to be honest.

90
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: I've got other thoughts about Valentine's Data, probably more digestible.

91
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: Let's go let me say that.

92
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: Let's do that.

93
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: I think once you've turned sixteen, Valentine's Day doesn't happen anymore. Okay,

94
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: and half was a point where you know, if you like,

95
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: I don't know any adults that love chocolate so much

96
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: that giving them heaps of chocolate is like a good idea.

97
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: I think if you really love someone, you give them

98
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: just the right amount of chocolate Snickers bar to do it.

99
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 3: I mean, a giant box of chocolates. That's too much,

100
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: that's ridiculous, give Snickers a bit of a compliment and

101
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: bloody move on, you know, get over it exactly all right.

102
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: But you know, and also by the time you're an adult,

103
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: you've accumulated anniversaries and wedding anniversaries and when you're met,

104
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: and then by the time Valentine's Day rolls around you

105
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: like again, we still do on this again, are we?

106
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: And the old line do you know what day it is?

107
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 4: Do you remember? You've forgotten?

108
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it's some sort of religious Yeah, actually

109
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: that's what it is. It's the second night of Chopples

110
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: show at perf knew there was something. Yeah, three box

111
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: of chocolates for stickers, just a Snickers.

112
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: You should have a sponsor involved in the show.

113
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: I should wink wink Snickers if you're listening.

114
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if it's a fun, size, big ad campaign Snickers.

115
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: I actually came up ad campaign for Hungry Jack's. Yeah.

116
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: I coined the phrase opportunity a walking past on the

117
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: hungry Jacks. That's a opportunity, right, It's actually awesome. And

118
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: if they're not interested, porthos might be interested in some

119
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: sort of a porto.

120
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: You've been thinking, what opportunity, what opportunity to bring back

121
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: the jumbo?

122
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: Please?

123
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, can I ask Hey Franklin a question?

124
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll get him, Yeah, hang on.

125
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: Quite quite the time we're living in fact, you've had

126
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a three year hiatus, if I say.

127
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: It here last year with my own.

128
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: I thought, but with cho but I wanted to ask

129
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: about the Ronnie Johns half hour this world that we're

130
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: living in right now in twenty twenty four, do you

131
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: reckon that would get a run or would it be labeled?

132
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: I mean, would you be canceled?

133
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, does anyone really get canceled?

134
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: I mean Louis thought he was canceled, but now.

135
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, canceled for I just I think it means

136
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: just go away and be quiet for yeah, just lield

137
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and then just come back in,

138
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: like just pretend nothing happened.

139
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think because I had a look, I

140
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: was like, how long. Did mel Gibson get canceled.

141

143
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: this burst of outrage.

144
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: The outrage died down a bit, yeah.

145
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people have short attention span.

146
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, the cycle moves on. Yeah, what about

147

150
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 4: isn't it. Yeah yeah, it's quite decade on. But time

00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: goes like that, doesn't it.

152
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, especially when you're still alive.
