A list-nuff production. Activate your internet. Cause the Hamish and the podcast starts in three, two. Sorry, still buffering. One. A hoi to me compact, Hamish. I hope we're types of disc. For Hoi to be floppy, Jacko.

Oh yes! Not the obsolete one. Yes. And I'll be hard. Yes. Good quality, but depending on the thumb drive over there, and then he, a nine-terra-flop thumb drive. A best in the biz. What do you think?

I mean, I suppose the hard drive is the only one we're still kind of using. The compact vest, they were huge though. I had that fun moment that parents get or people that get to have with kids these days where I was explaining to Sonny my little boy on the weekend, what a video store was, because I worked at one, and what that would mean,

and just watching his mind go, what are you talking about? This doesn't make any sense this system. This system is terrible. We're actually all obsolete, aren't we? Because hard disks, they're hard drives. How right are those disks? Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. Well, actually all obsolete, aren't we? Because hard disks, they're hard drives. Oh, right, it's good. Yeah, well, yeah, yeah.

Well, actually, maybe the floppy disk is the most famous because even though we don't use it, it is the image for the logo of save on me. Oh, that's true. I was thinking the compact disk might be the most famous because I'm still the audio. I mean, I'm still in every car. It would have been more sold.

There would have been more compact this salt than any of the other dishes. Oh, for sure. Check it on the 100 mate, because... LAUGHTER I reckon... I reckon floppy's might have outsold and because floppy's been around since the night...

Like, the floppy's had 10 years on CDs. Remember, in the 90s, everything was floppy, it is. I know, but compact... Do you, though? Because you're pretty anti-floppy, it is. No, I think music CDs has got. I get on the 100, yeah, well. Can we cancel this?

We have officially have right out of the question, do you see that on the 100s? Yeah, because I was able to just realize, that's not what the 100s is. No, one for a genius. The question would be, who thinks floppy is so more? I'm like, well, we're no closer to the answer. It's nice to get thoughts.

Oh, we also had a bet. They used the much easier to use system rather than sending it any disk to us by uploading her message. This could be easier. Mail in a floppy would be easier than this. Thank you, shenanee.com. Hi, boys, Beth here. I have just done the preferred start to finish format of the podcast

and for any new listeners. That'll take you about four months if you listen to about five episodes a day. I just only had one question after finishing this quest. Did Hamish ever use this night pursuit more than once? Well, thank you, Beth, for using the preferred method. That's the only question. There's so many more peed-ar-outs than that. But we do appreciate anyone that goes back in coast to coast it. That's really fun.

Yeah, that's not, but it's kind of a lot of times. No, it has. It came out during lockdown for Ultimate The Hive and Seek. I remember that, during COVID. With your time. Yeah. With the kids. Yeah, with the kids. And I just said, guys, give me 10 minutes, but then come out the back, come out in the back,

and find me. And it was like for people that remember the hit house and Ford film, Clear and Present Dangerous, a great scene on a sniper course, where they're trying to find the sniper. And that's very much what the kids were doing for me. So, great fun, great fun for family.

You do use a $400 spent on a sniper suit. Hey, I'm still good, and I still have it, and it still could come out at any time. You want to do it? I'm sorry, on that, just before we move on from that, I think I mentioned this the other week, but while we're talking about sniper suits and purchases, I just want to formally state,

this isn't what I want to, this isn't the next bit, but I just want to formally state that, yeah, the next bit, but I just want to formally state that yeah, in case I wasn't clear the other day, I'm pausing the compound bow acquisition. I was... To see who is first to admit their Peter Ratt. The compound bow or Jack... Hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt, hunt, the CEO of Mars. No, Jack will get the CEO of Mars.

I was... I've got full confidence there, but yeah, pausing the compound bow had a little shoot of a bar an hour, a couple of weeks ago, really hurt my shoulder. And so not ready to step up to the compound bow. Okay. And also, again, a story for another day have got into sea kayaking a little bit.

So, it's just having so many hours in the day. Don't worry, the useless spending has been a good, it's not all right. I do, yeah, I have, I have the thought it may have gone to. Things have been bought and the top of the range things like carbon fiber paddles have been bought. What? Just, I just can't see a way to combine them. You can fish in the sea carbon in the compound bow as well. It would have been really, really. So you just changed your carbon. So carbon suppliers globally won't notice a dip. So I'm obviously looking after the carbon market and just choosing where we distribute that carbon. And look, maybe there's a time when I can pop the bow on the back of the kayak. Head out into Sydney Harbour and shoot myself a snapper.

If one, if a snapper's foolish enough to come to the surface within 50 yards of the kayak, then I'll certainly take one down. That's a big one. That's a big one. If you're a snapper, certainly this calendar year, pretty easy on that one. Have you ever had a situation where two of your spontaneous purchases have had crossover because normally he gets into something What you could use the sniper suit so the snapper don't know you there It's not the best on the water and I am in a big white boat

It's more of a bush sniper seat Jack. I need to get a seaweed one Which isn't too much of an upgrade. No, it's a good question, Andy. Have some of the purchases overlap? Yes. Probably, do you, golf in the sniper suit, might? Why? Well, just a few bit of a lock, if you hit one into the rough,

you snipe the suit off. I mean, you guys, go, do you have an ambition gobbles? That's better a purchase to you. I actually have got the suit off. I mean, guys, go to the division goggles. That's better a purchase. I actually have got the glow in the dark. Again, not what I was paying to talk about, but the glow in the dark balls. Have you used those? I have.

They're so fun. They were good fun. They were good fun. You've got the one evening. Got the one evening. Right. I've got it in twice. I still enjoy it.

Okay. But Andy, didn't you go to play nighttime golf and then you pulled up in the car park and it was like a hotspot for people to hook up? Yes, you knew. It was a different whole in life. Yeah. Yeah.

It was a different. Yeah, a hotspot. Yeah, so as I jumped out with my mate Paul, everyone was like, oh, right, we haven't seen YouTube. Oh! And I said, no, we're going to... No, no, we bought special balls, yes. Yes. Sorry, where's the confusion here?

Yes. Are we all talking about the same thing? Good memory, Jack. Hey, there's something I wanted to quickly bring up. Now, it's with some slight hesitation because I know it's an area, Jack, you're a little nervous to talk about. Mm.

Mr. Ralph. No, no. I'm not nervous to talk about him. I just don't want us on the show to make any contact with him or any of what we talk about to get back to him or anyone he works with in case what he's doing is dodgy. And it cuts it off.

Have you spoken to your partner, Bianca, about the fact that you divulged a hell of a lot about Mr. Ralph a few weeks back? No, and I don't want to tell her because I don't want to get back to her mom and feel like, it's all coming down like a house of cards. I feel that, but I've had so much feedback

from people about Mr. Ralph. So many questions that people have. Can we ask a few more questions? Couple of questions and we'll put Mr. Ralph. So many questions that people have. Can we ask a few more questions? Couple of questions and we'll put this around to bed. You can have three yes, no question. Oh, great, great, okay. Jack, Mr. Ralph obviously means a lot to you. Yes.

No, that's a establishing fact. Just quickly, if people haven't done Beth's move of going from start to finish the podcast, Mr. Ralph is a person that Jack has never met that gets him very, very cheap flights overseas. The family asset on the Yankees side. I've been an aging family asset. Yes. And sometimes he gets too old and fed up to even deal with them. But when he's on a good day, and it's Bianca's mom who has to discern where that he's gonna good mood. She reads the weather of the Mr. Ralph system

and she can tell if it's a positive day. And that's when they book flights and they can only book 18 months in advance, is it? 11. 11, sorry. And Mr. Ralph recently had a health scare. Jack tried to book 10 years in one go. And that's when he found out you can only book 11 months in advance. Thank Mr. Rolf, you only pay the taxes, don't you, for business

class flights? This is the more reason why I think it's dodgy is there's no rhyme or reason to really what we pay. It seems like he sort of just comes up with a number. My guess is that maybe he's got some sort of allocation and he just sells of free flights and he just sells it for cash. What percentage off are you getting, do you think? It's ridiculous. So we've been flying for the last three or four years, business class to see Bianca's family in the US for sometimes less than an economy ticket.

Well, Jeep is crazy. Okay. My question, my yes, no question, do is Jack. If, can I ask you a question first? What, why is it in your interest to, to stifle so I can understand. I find this whole, I don't know if I met him, but he is so important to your life. If word came back through Bianca's mum,

that Mr. Ralph, because we know he's an old man. Yes, he's 88. He's 88. It comes back that he is an artist. He paints to calm himself. Right. It's one of his hobbies. And he would like a tasteful nude photo of you to paint.

Would you send it to keep the relationship solid? If I thought he was going to jeopardize the flight by not sending it, then yes, it's no skin off my back. I think you're a him-timeing. I introduced you to this. It's floppy. Much better than if you were the hard disk. They don't send that. That's not tasteful.

No. No, it tasted your tasteful. It could even have like velvet draped over you. That's nice. Yeah. He's not going to put in galleries or anything like that. It's just... We don't know what he's going to do with it.

Either way, he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he keeps the flights come and yeah keep him come and his circles. Don't overlap with yours. It seems you'll miss it. Yeah, it doesn't feel like there's there's much overlap. Another question, hey? If he told you if he asked you right, let's say, okay, word comes in as, okay, Mr. Rolf's old He kind of gets his thrills by hearing crazy stories He wants you to go to the library and film yourself stealing some books. We can still see books for Mr. Rolf That's how he gets his thrills

You do that more than the nude I think I would and then I would donate the cost of the books back to the library. Okay. Okay. Okay. Would you spray paint? This is the last one. Yeah. Would you spray paint the words like a big big like graffiti piece like Mr. Ralph under, like on a wall. Oh, wow. That has to be really good. I used to do a bit of graffiti art in my teenage years. And he's heard this. Yeah.

And he also is a fan of graffiti art. And he wants you to put up a big Mr. Ralph like under a bridge. Yeah. Yeah, he would. No, you could get caught that, Jake. Could get busted. No one really gets in trouble for that sort of stuff. Seems that way.

Yeah. Otherwise there would be less of it. I think so. It seems like you would do a lot for Mr. Ralph. Yes, the flight of very, very valuable to me. We're picking up on that. Can I have one bonus one? Yep.

See the call that we've got. Oh no, you don't have Mr. Ralph on the line. You do not read that. Read out. What's the name of the call, sir? Well, it did say Kane. No, yeah, because we didn't want to surprise you. Now it says Mr. Ralph.

You're going to pick... We prepared to pick up that call. And... You don't want to keep Mr. Ralph waiting. I want to call your bluff because I just don't think you found him. But he's waiting there and this affects you to give the first words. So how would you want to greet him? Whenever you're ready, you can add him. I just don't think it's him.

It's pears or you're made or someone putting on an old man's voice. I just will be shocked. I'll be shocked. It's very important to you. So, he... No, this is your yes or no Jack. Will you end? Will you talk to him? Yes, I will, because I don't think it's him. So, my opening words would be, hey Mr. Ralph, suck it. How dare you Jackass Mr. Ralph! Mr. Ralph! Hello Jacky boy! Mr. Ralph, thank you for all you've done for our family.

Thank you for agreeing to send a picture. I had it all. With much divine What is he?

Well done. I'll see you soon, Jackie. Mr. Rell, come visit me. I'm sick.

Oh no, Jack. I fear my days are numbered. Would you fly over this week? Please come and come and see the old man. No, I'll tell you more. Yeah, I well. Yeah, I've seen Mr. Ralph. He's just unplugged. And if there's one arena, actually I'll briefphrase this, if there's two arenas of justice and truth discovering we're passionate about.

One is crocodile jumping, to is in the Northern territory. I see a huge part of our portfolio. The second is chocolate. Recently added. Recently added here. We did do a lot of it last year and we might not do heaps next year. One thing that has gone the journey though is chocolate bars, chocolate companies, marketing, whether they're good ideas, curious ideas, please explain. Something that's close to our heart is large consumers of chocolate and certainly something that's close to our listeners' hearts because boy oh boy, do we have some great operatives out there in the field of allerting to us of the ongoing curiousness

of different things happening, whether it be Maltesers or other chocolates. Now, this came to me, well, I actually saw this online and happened to know the person involved. And so we were started chatting about it. Before we get to it though, Jack, I think people would be expecting you here to jump in

because we're about to talk to a representative from the company in question But I don't want to step on your toes if you had the audio from the Mars CEO ready to go from your door stopping during the week It's not complete yet Yeah, obviously it hasn't started Great not lying. Yeah, I won't play it now because it's not complete. Yeah I wouldn't say it's finished yet. I wouldn't say I have. Should I?

No. It's not 100% finished. Really good. Let's do it. So you've actually tracked down a representative. You've got someone. Well done. Okay, so let's start with the issue first.

Yes. The issue relates to a Kit Kat, a long time favourite of yours, I know. Lava for a Kit Kat. Not so big a fan of the Chunky. Yep, you don't. The common feeling there, and I think I'm with you on this, is just the ratio. Grown up on the regular, the normal ratio of chocolate to wafer. You go to the Chunky, it's just a different ballgame. Some people love it, and that's the customer.

But it's not for you, and it's funny because it's a ratio issue we're talking about here. The person in question who found this situation is Angus Brasior. He's appeared on the show before, if he plays the Melbourne football club, he came into to do a special skill on wine style. Hopefully he would have for the Melbourne club, but probably better known for failing a special skill at our show for a wine poor incident. He's a great friend of the show. He joins us now, Angus Ohoy.

Ohoy gentlemen, thank you for having me. Pleasure. I'll take you back on. That's been a long time. Gus came, he said, look, could I use the show? This feels like the right show is the forum to chase this up. Gus, can you explain to the people what happened to you

in regards to a recent kick-cat? Kit Kat? Yeah, I was playing golf, which you can both sort of understand. There's a little golf snack cart that floats around and sometimes you catch it early in the round, sometimes it's late in the round. I think for me where I sort of catch it depends on what I'm interested in purchasing. So I got it on the 15th hole and I thought, you know what, I need something here to spark me up for the last three, four holes. And so I've ordered the Kit Kat, you know, the four finger operations standard, not the chunky stuff. So I've peeled open, I've snapped the block of myself and took a bite into just a thick

finger of chocolate that was absolutely no wafer to be found whatsoever. Solid chocolates. No, it was weird. It was my brother and a couple of my mates. I said, I think this is going to be the weirdest thing ever. I might be the only person who's ever, ever cop this and I was like, I might just be one finger.

So I've gone to, to other fingers on the other side of the bar and they were both solid chocolate too. So I had four fingers of bigcat chocolate with not a side of wafer in any of them. You didn't have a kickcat, you had a kickcat shaped block of chocolate. Yeah. You had a kickcat themed block but it wasn't actually a kickcat. I mean, there's quickly, I just want to check on the outside of the wrap. It wasn't a promotional thing like just the chalk for chocolate, like, so whatever.

No, and that's a good point, I know because you know, it's not, you don't expect this. It's, it's, it sounds unbelievable. So I do. I made sure that because once I realized what had happened, that's like, geez, this is, I don't know, I don't know what's going on here, but this needs to be documented. So I got a singular, that, that single thing that I mentioned,

that I first bit into. I had a photo of that with the actual Kit Kat wrapper. And then I also said, because there will be skeptics, of course, that I'll get the double, that the two fingers which I've been into, they were still connected. And I got a photo of that as well with the same wrapper.

Yeah, so you did everything short of photographing a next to a rule on my website. Exactly. So many ways it was photographed. And you know, everything's there. The documentation is there. I think you can do it. They're not going to get off of the technicality

on this one. We've never really liked the book. So how did it happen? He has been asked, how do we stop it happening to other people for kick-cats? It's not a pleasure of a book. So how did it happen? He's most... How do we stop it happening to other people for kick-hats, like... It's not a pleasure of a boy's machine. There's a point where they'll poor chocolate insert the fingers...

Yeah, poor chocolate of wafer. Poor chocolate all the way around that, and then it keeps going down the chute. That's how we design it. I suspect that the wafer has run out. And so it's gone to place them in there. The chocolates come down to pour over. It's filled with fields, boots. And then it gets past quality control.

Because who knows, they can't kind of open. Yeah. They need, well, they have the airport to look through it. They obviously don't have a wafer X-ray. That's what we've discovered here at the Nestle factory. I think you're right, Anna, because there's no other way, and then it must pour over, because if it was a certain volume of chocolate,

they would have noticed that mold is a little shallow, but because there's no wafer in it. Yes. But they just pour it over and they just keep going about their day. Yeah. Gross oversight. No matter how you want to chop it up, Feltless,

it's gross over there. We've got it actually that customer on the line. We've also got Shannon, who's the marketing manager. Now I hope to get the factory manager of Cheekcat, like the guy on the production line, but Shannon, we've been assured she's an expert in the production of Chocolate. Shannon, or who are you? Hello, hello. I am glad that I can come represent it's apparent growth oversight.

I will kick up. Shannon, do you agree that it is? I think Angus should consider himself pretty lucky. I think he's got a once in a lifetime collectible eye. Oh, I don't know. She's got a diggin. She's got a diggin. Interesting to see you diggin.

We have talked about this in the part before. You have diggins or sorry's. You diggins or sorry's and you've gone with a diggin. Don't worry, we'll know we have preferred paths. you've gone with the dig in don't worry about the upper third part well Shannon with the dig in okay, so Shannon Since it's a dig in in How how can this happen and has it happened before? Um look in our seriousness um the wafer is a pretty important part of a kit card

Oh, yeah, you can't have the kit without the cap in our seriousness, the wafer is a pretty important part of a Kit Cat. Oh yeah. You can't have the kit without the cat. Is that part of the thing that I represent? Are you saying, I mean, I'm saying Kit is chocolate. Is Kit chocolate and cat's wafer? Yes, yes. Is that the reason? Or is it made up for this call?

Because it's not short for either of them. I'm not saying it makes sense. But Kit is chocolate and cat is wafer. Or just today. Oh, nothing makes sense to be honest. Is that really why KitKat's called a KitKat? Cause you're like, you got your kit, which everyone knows is wafer. You got your cat, which we all call chocolate KitKat. Actually, though, I ran here, but for God's sake. I'm surprised you guys didn't know that already. Well, I mean, that is why it's not that slight on you as a marketing manager. That's true.

Yeah, that message is not getting through to the general popularity. If I had to guess, I know we're sort of moving away from your issue here, and we'll get back to it. If I had to guess, I would have said Kit Kat was called that because originally was just two fingers. And you like called one kit one. Like it's hyphenated. It's a hyphenated word and it's sort of a hyphenated bar. Yeah.

You know, I mean like it's a two-part bar. I would have thought that would be the origin. Is that serious of the origin, Shannon? No, no, it's absolutely not the origin. Oh, come on. I mean, I'm juxtaposing a relevant. So, Shannon, did you just make up the kit for chocolate cat for way for a bit? Actually, people told us that, so it had happened to one of the person.

Oh, right. And they did let us know that there was all kit and no cat. And ever since that's how we've spoken about the trend for a new chocolate and way for. Initially, we've complained. Right, so this is the internal name for kick out because of the very situation that Angus has faced. Well, can you explain how this could happen? Mm-hmm.

So you chocolate knowledge is pretty good. I'll give you that. So the wafer is baked separately. Yep. And then they get dropped in a big mold of chocolate where it's sandwiched together with the filling and of course as he said the chocolate goes on the back. We didn't run out of wafer, we never, never run out of wafer. So is there one out there with double wafer? All cat. They've been to find that one, you've got to find its perfect pair.

But so they get dropped in. So occasionally and very, very rarely, which is why I say this, you get a bit of a rogue way far. Mrs. It's Mark, Slips, and then leaves the dog and land in the mouth. So do you get to look at that? Does the wafer, is the wafer that goes into a four finger kick at all one piece that then gets cut. Before, before, go ahead. So you're four because it just dropped in.

Yeah, I would think that if it's just one wafer missing, to my mind, there was like three went in one dropped out, like what are the chances of all four going out, but it's the same wafer that gets cut into four, then it goes in. Yeah. Shout out to the police. So that's the least ripped off. I don't. Dig in. Dig in is galore because like you're saying, four dropping and all four missing.

Yeah. That's what I think. That's a great point and one of the chances. Yeah, that's a chance. But I think that's what I'm trying to clarify is that just one is it one piece that gets cut into four just before it drops in and that's gone somewhere. Yeah, so it gets cut into four just before it goes in but the same little arm drops all fall in one. So it's the arms mister. Oh, sorry, no, and I'm sorry that I didn't believe that

that's fair. So the arms come across and just obviously hung on too long or dropped it too early. Is there any chance, Shannon, and I'm just hypothesizing here, but when you were talking about the wafer being baked, and obviously, you know, this could be because I'm a little bit hungry at the moment, that sounds delicious.

And I imagine the smell is very good of freshly baked wafer. Is it possible that somebody, not unlike myself, is working there going, oh God, he's going to notice one that's missing biscuit and a worker perhaps had a nibble. Look, I have eaten the wafer on it, so I'm at the factory. So, could it have been me? It's a good bite, so I'm going to have a bite. They've actually been, could it could have been me. It's a pretty good decision of you. It's good, I mean we know it's good, but it's a good by itself. It's excellent by itself, because you know the little filling between the wafer.

Yeah, that's all you need. That's what made of kick-cut, crushed up kick-cut. Oh, that's sustainable. We're still eating a kick-cut even if it doesn't have the chocolate on the outside. So there's little of the chocolate bits in between the wafer? Yes. We have a kick-cat in here, Jack is actually looking at it. Wow. Jack's broken and opened in his inspection. Was that the original design or was there a waste product that you went, hey, we could crunch that up and put it in a wafer? And I think that's perfectly

great resource. But then it's a chicken and the egg thing because you would have had to build one Kit Kat first to crush that up and make the filling so that the alpha Kit Kat first Kit Kat ever made cannot have had a Kit Kat in it because it was the original. That's true, Shannon.

That is true. It's a combination of both, I think. So it was made with chocolate and then sometimes they look at a cookie or you have a three finger and why not crush it up and make it delicious. Additional kick that. So we're blaming a robot's arm. Yep. A slip up of a robot's arm. I suppose the only thing left here is what, you know, since we're representing Angus in this, is it a year's supply of

cats? What is it a lifetime supply? What is the settlement? Are we looking? I was it? Do you hang up? Shannon, is there a compensation discussion of you? I maybe she's put us on mute. I did, I did. Yes, I think you've you got lawyers there to install what you can do. If only I did, I think it would be quite helpful. Shannon, is there just a natural conversation in mind for someone that gets all kid? We would replace it. Angus, Angus, what would make you feel a bit better about the situation given you're a fan?

Oh, I mean, that's a good question. I don't know to be honest, it feels like, uh, a year's worth probably about right, but I'm also conscious of the fact that, um, I think he's overstretching. How about this? Um, share it. Let's let it play. Let's let it play. Shaddon, send him out just an all waffer.

So balance balance the equation. Balance the equation. You know what? How many grams is a kickcat? I assume it's about 45, 50 grams. 45 grams. Send in 45 grams of wafer. That feels right. Just hearing that out there. That feels right for me. Yeah. Shadow? Well, settlement. Of course, I know we'll take 5% of the top of that.

Because, Shadow, is there anything you would like? I'll just have a regular Kit Kat. Jack, is there anything you would like? I'll just have a regular kick-out. Oh, I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Thank you, Angus, for bringing this video to the show. Really appreciate it, guys.

I hope that works for you, Angus. Thanks, mate. Jeremy, I mean, this might virgin to must be nice, but I... Do you remember the first time you were in the car? I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car.

I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I remember the first time I was in the car. I think it's a safety feature. So, you know, it is nice to have safety. We all like safety. When you're talking about your main car, like I don't know which one of you are. I am just one car, but yes, it has the beak.

Did you sell the other car with the property? You sell your fleet. The cabin that we had in the woods had this old bomb of a car. You wouldn't even call it a car, had no windows, no doors. So it must be nice to have so many cars you don't even have to call one a car. You also have the use. You weren't allowed to drive it on the road, so it only could be driven on the property and it got

sold with the property. A lot of luxury cars you can't drive on the road. Yeah, like a Formula One car. I saw one recently. What was recently bought at auction, like one of Louis Hamilton's, I was like 25 million pounds or something. You're not allowed to drive that on the road. Well, this didn't get out for the first year. So, wasn't anything like, oh, so, I've revved high. That's not a formula one car.

Anyway, so not the formula one car. You regularly call your truck, I've got the beat beeps. Here's my question to you guys. We're talking about reverse beeping, yeah. And often, you know, all around the car. Am I crazy or can technology get old and tired? Because it feels like my beast. I've got tired. I've had my cover three years I think.

It slowed down. It stopped noticing things. I think it's getting for tea. You know, you've phone sort of starts slowing down a bit. Darcy's nodding out here. Yeah, yeah, why Darcy's nodding out there. It's a strange thing, but this might be happening to people where it's like, it reminds me of, you know, you see, you see lots of different types of security guards in lots of different jobs, but when you see a really old one, right, like a really old, like tired security guard, you go, okay, well, he's obviously not probably, I'm generalizing, no, he's sharp.

As like the nightclub security guard, the fresh guy. Yeah. And I just feel like my cars beaks, a failure, like I feel like I got a 95 year old security guard looking after the car now to put it in. Are they to just so I can be clear? I'll give you some examples. Are they not beeping as much, beeping slower,

changing the range of the beat? Yeah, the whole thing. And you know what? Almost all of the amount. Because you get so used to the rhythm of the car. Because mine goes beep, beep, beep, that's level one, which I don't even pay attention to. Like I drive for 20 meters forward with that.

Then there's beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, then beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, then there's, Bipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipip-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- time is I don't I've lost respect for the solid because I still think I've got a bit to go. And if you hear that like, we sort of tone, you'll be like, okay, something's up. Like, you know, we got a, this is an emergency. Here's what's happened with my car. It like, old, it will sometimes will come on out of nowhere. Like I'll be just parked, like, you know, waiting to take off, maybe finishing a text message or something. And then out of nowhere, it's be like, BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEB he's working up like mid-Bank rubber yet. But more so when I'm backing towards, like towards stuff, or I've got them at the front too, you're like edging towards another car, I'll be like, gee, the babe should have come on by now, but I trust them, and if they haven't come on,

then I'm gonna keep going. Then all of a sudden, and it really feels like the car's just working up, all of a sudden I'll be like, oh, it jumps like three levels. Like it just has woken up that it's close to something. Today, after I dropped the kids off from school, I was backing back. There's a tree that was like a parking spot

as one of those trees on the road, like in its own little garden with poles. I'm backing back and in my head, I go, all right, I must be sweet over it over here because not even a single beep, then car hits the pole. I swear to God, car hits the pole, then there's a moment. I'm like, I guess, hey Greg, we've already been robbed. We've been robbed. The robbers have gone away. Bit mate to wake up now and start ringing the bell.

He's got time. Whoever my beeper is, he's his old. POP! POP! POP! POP! POP! POP!

POP! Hey, we've got to get to this. It's some breaking news during the week, which has shocked the pants of us. Yep. I mean, this came out in press release form. I doubt many of our listeners would have seen it covered in any of the major mainland newspapers. I'd say there are many more.

Does mainland newspapers for that matter? Yep. I would say there's some more pressing issues across our nation than this, but that shows specifically the problem. Boy or boy have we been made aware of this and and you've got the press release that relates to the crock wars. Now, we're all well across the progression of the story, original crocodile jumping to

us versus spectacular crocodile jumping to us and the shows plan Get up to Darwin get the owners of both businesses to sit down and go hey, there's enough river for all of us Come on. Let's have some peace has been decades of high jinks and mischief between the two. Yes. Let's stop the rivalry Let's embrace the sheer joy of taking members of the public to see a huge prehistoric reptile jump out of the water to eat chicken that doesn't matter really whose names on the side of the boat. It's exactly how we feel. Well documented. Well documented on our show. That's what we're pushing for. In fact, here's something we can tell listeners. During the week, we all had a conversation. We're like, let's just go. Like let's book a flight. Let's book a date to go to Dal and

like early November, let's just book a weekend. We can get off there. We can't take ourself there. Sort of backed ourselves to pull it off. And there was within our camp, I would say, hi, hi, Morale. Once we booked, there's always that excitement when you book a trip, where you're like, let's, we're doing it. We're booked in. Then this happens, Andy. Yes, press release. From the original Adelaide River, Queen Jumping Croc Cruises. That's original. The original. The original for sure.

Yeah. The original. It says the original and pathfinder Jumping Croc or Al Cruises will close on the 31st of October 2023 after 38 years of operation on the Adelaide River. Unbelievable. What are the chances of this? Original Croc, you think, too, is... I don't think it's a situation where he doesn't want peace. on the Adelaide River. Unbelievable. What are the chances of this? Original croxie thing to us.

We... I don't think it's a situation where he doesn't want peace. Like he doesn't want us to come out there and broke me this. No, we, this, you know, initially we were like, what's happened and we... Hopefully it wasn't us. Is there someone walking at peace so hard?

They're like, no, I'm closing the doors. No, it doesn't seem to be the case. He says, our family business has built a world-class, sustainable animal attraction that has carried more than two million passengers. Wow, it's an Australian icon. It's featured on Aussie Big Things, the TV series. She's an ABT.

Oh, I know. Which saw the crocodile feature on the release of a $1 coin by the Royal Australian Mint and On the dollar 20 stamp by Australia for so it's it really had its place as an icon I'll paraphrase. It's a long press release. There's no likes a longer Like a loggy, but but Tony Says that there are more and more smaller Jumping crop tours says that there are more and more smaller jumping crock tours getting added to the river

and the NT government are just going willy-nilly with permits, essentially. So this is the owner of originally saying that now more permits are coming out. Yeah, he said there's up to five. So there's not two sides, two sides left in this spermish anymore, there could be seven. There's up to five competitors that operate in the water way that he says he's developed. They're on smaller boats He's said smaller boats and big crocs don't mix They're obviously on big bigger boats like spectacular in them. He's suggesting that the NT It's not it's unsafe

But the NT government has to change the permitting. He doesn't want to be out there And keeping it and being unsafe for any of the passengers. So he's more than he'd prefer to close it down Safety first So this is a real so he's he's really doing it There's another threat to close. He's like we're done He said these the ideas I'm put forward to the minister of tourism and hospitality He lists things and he said if the antique Intergovernment he said he's already listed those things the

If the NT government, he said he's already listed those things, the NT government has failed us on these matters and does not understand the inherent risks combining small vessels with large crocodiles, not to mention the small vessels do not have capacity to carry large number of conference or cruise ship passengers his statement. He said that's why he wants to close down. The two big seas, they are important for tourism,

cruise as conferences. Yeah, a lot of cash in that. I mean, I don't know if this has ever happened before. Not this is about us, this is about a man in his business, which has been running for decades. And, you know, we should say safety first, welfare of the business second, then any podcasts invested in case missions, third. Has it ever happened in the history of peace deals, any mediation where like, you're like,

let's say you've got like two corporations going against each other, where you're just about to get to the table to sort this thing out and then one goes, now it might be a corporation, Emil. Yeah, we're out anyway. I mean, it's a solution, like it's a resolution, I suppose, but it's not what we're up to with the beast deal. Are we still going or we just take your holiday? Well, I mean, we booked it and we got so excited

and we're looking at like, well, again, it's really the first, forced Peter out. Usually it is. It is. It's such first piece, forced Peter out. It is. It is. It's actually the charge of our Peter out. For the first time ever where the opposite of the Peter out, where we're the ones clinging on and someone else has opened the door and Peter's left. We're trying to catch Peter and Dragon back into the building.

We were shutting all exits. Peter somehow slipped out. Someone dragged the out. Someone dragged the couch against the door. Can't believe of all the things we were... Like, if all the other Peter ads that have happened through the year, I was sort of allowing them to happen knowing that we'd leave things. That was what I loved about when we booked the Darlan trip.

I was like, you know what? We're actually going to deliver our thing. The biggest thing, the biggest thing where you get to see through, and that won't Peter out, which could bicep in a cover for any of the Peter outs we've gotten. And now it's the opposite. Now it's like, oh, you thought those Peter outs were something. Well, what do you see the biggest Peter out of all?

I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't. 31st of October did it say end of October. But it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't... 31st of October, do you say, end of October? But it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't create peace between the two businesses. It'd be a nice way to come. Oh, one doesn't exist. It does seem like an easy piece deal. Just, just as he's taking his cardboard box for the stuff to his car.

And Tony, do you agree to peace? Yeah, mate, whatever, see ya. Well, we got it. We got it. We got peace. Sure, mate, I have a hundred of a beauty. We did it. We did it.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. in those kind of mob films where the two dons from either side after all the fighting and tearing it, it finally get together and go when we're there. They're both. It's kind of retired.

Yeah. They've just come back and gone, hey, I just think we should make peace. So that's what we want, but you don't hear one of like one of the dons isn't like, oh God, Mafia, I've done that for ages. Yeah, I run a basketball, I run a basketball clinic now. Yeah, sure, mate. Yeah, take my territory, don't I've done that for ages. Yeah, I run a basketball clinic now. Yeah, sure, mate. Yeah, take my territory and I'm not involved. That's true.

So I get what we want. Yeah. Um, maybe is this still a good piece deal? Yeah. Where, you know, we do go up because we're planning on sort of being there. Unfortunately, the flights are booked for about a week or so, a bit less than a week after he's shuddering the business.

Then we could talk to him and go, do you reckon you'd keep it up in for a week? Oh my God, I can't. Would you do? Would you stay up in for a week? Just because I can't. Do we make a big booking for like the week after the part refused?

We can make huge conferences. a big booking for like the week after the top review. What can I hear? It's conference. I've been doing a bit of kikikachi. It's actually a piece of goth. It's a surprise piece, still. So technically, you're still open. Yeah, we just stay open for us. Either that or do we get there and just sort of go look who cares that it's a few days after you've closed forever.

Would you be interested in as an ending note? Was it nice to end on a note of peace? And then we can still have a plier to go, yeah, that's nice, isn't it? Just go on this spot, the two disputed rival businesses agreed to a piece and And it was agreed by both parties that if, have they both still been in business, it would have been, it's a little anticlimactic, I'm just thinking of the action. We both agreed, but had the dispute continued, we would have resolved it. It doesn't have the real hypothetical piece.

I wanna go. All right, well, I have a thing about it. We'll, maybe I'll have a thing resolved it. It doesn't have the real hypothetical piece. I want to go. All right, well, I have to think about it. We'll... No, I'll have to think about it. you
