<v Speaker 1>Christian, I gotta wa this goddamn bar right now.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I have noticed the same tennis of course.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Of course, now a couple of assurances no balls because

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously the argument little balls are going to go in

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>the era out we are clearing up after ourselves. Okay,

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>no ball's gonna be left in there. We totally respect that.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Jack will genuinely in a inside. Have we got the

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>boat yet?

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>But we've got inflatable boat?

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>What is he in it? We were we offer to

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Dana anaconda, like now we get a little dirigible or something.

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>What's here in a canoe? Kayak? What's he in? Producer caating,

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>he's in a speedboat? Whoa speed boats? Yeah you are?

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>We need the speed to get to the.

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Balls are allowed to speed boats on the Yarrah.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>You were allowed.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>We got counsel a price station, got a speed boat

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>from we have to man five years, I've never heard

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>of a speedboat, would you be to? They're not branded

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>up while they're like black thunder on the Yarra. No,

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>for that is a great idea.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not driving there's a driver for the speedboat.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.040
