And we are also brought to you by Airbnb. Now look, there's actually a couple times a year when a big group of my oldest friends and I, and they are old, get together and we will rent an Airbnb and stay in it for a few days over like a holiday weekend or something like that. It just always makes the experience a lot better because, you know, we're in a home. But on the road, if I ever have the choice between a hotel or an Airbnb I always go Airbnb just because it's better. I like a home over a hotel.

But recently I did start thinking well while I'm gone can I turn my place into an Airbnb? And the answer is yes. It can be as easy as putting your place up and then having a little more scratch generated from someone staying at my place while I'm on the road. So whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for something more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how and how much at airbnb.ca slash host. The dollop is brought to you by a rocket money.

Look, I've been trying to save money for a while, but it seemed like my bank account was stuck, thankfully. I heard about rocket money, and Gareth, I gave it a try. My wife gave it a try too. It turns out I had subscriptions just floating around, totally unaware of, and paying for them for years. You needed a rocket to take them out. Not at all. Raga Money helped me cancel some of them, and now I'm starting to see the old savings

come in. Cancel culture. Look, Raga Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions. It monitors your spending and helps lower your bills so that you can grow your savings. And I want to apologize to the Packers radio station that I've been paying for for approximately seven years that I canceled because that was easy money. And it doesn't just do subscriptions, right? So I've had, I think, three subscriptions that I found and canceled now.

One was, they're all for my kids' video games that he signed up for when I had no idea when he was like seven, but they, they saved me $300 on my, my internet bill. Yeah. I think what you're saying, Dave is you gotta make tough choices. Do you get rid of the kid or do you get rocket money? And I think you chose to keep your son, which I think is the brave decision, and use Rocket Money, which I think is awesome. Yeah. So Rocket Money is not just going to cancel your subscriptions and allow you to

make the choice whether to keep your child, but it's also going to help negotiate lower your bills for you up to 20%. Right now, a serious, serious, I'm coming for you. Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of 500 million in cancelled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's features. So, stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash dollop. That's rocketmoney.com slash dollop. Rocketm money dot com slash dollop rocket money dot com slash dollop blast off Yeah, give it up. Yeah.

You're listening to the dollar! It's an American history podcast. each week I read a story from American history

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the Dollar Press 58th appearance, Will Anderson! What if there's no mic? October 15th, 1807! Year of our Lord.

J-Town. By the way, here in Australia, of course, J-Town has the beer, what do you call them? Beer Cozies? We call them beer cozies. Yeah, no, they call them stubbies. Stubbies. And then flip flops. And then thong is a platform shoe. What do they call a butthole?

Huh? Dan at Undermouth. Laughter Hurry. Okay. Laughter In New South Wales, Governor Rockwin Macquarie banned sun and surf bathing at the wharf and dockyard. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, we don't like that. It's crazy. He believed bathing in public a quote, indecent and improper custom.

Bathing. Bathing. Public bathing. Well, they're swimming. Oh, okay. Well, that's different. But they call it bathing. Well, okay, to me soap would be involved for bathing, but they're just swimming. Yeah, you guys call it swimming now, right? Yeah, but we still call the things you wear to swim bathers. See? Or sometimes swimmers, I guess. See, that swimmers someone swimming.

Yeah, but you can go for a swim down at the Bards. That's right. Can you bathe down in the swims? I like how that's absurd to the audience. Fucking hell! Imagine! Everything's around the other way in Australia. Why am I doing my own accents? You have it, don't you?

It's weird that I've leaned into it. And now I don't even remember how I used to sound. Now the media will end us in this trying to get his voice back. In England they used to call it bathing costumes. That's what they were called. That to me is the funniest one. I think we called it bathing costumes for a while. In America?

Yeah. Oh wow. Boy, isn't history just wild? Do you call them bathing suits at all? Yeah, but like mostly swimmers or bathers or togs or cozy, you're swimming cozy? No, no, no, no. You're budgie smugglers.

Budgie smugglers are the kind ones where you... Yeah, the speedos are budgie smugglers. And we had a prime minister who was quite famous for... Now, you call it a bungee... What is the bungee, your cock? Yes, that's the... It is? Yes, I mean...

Right, so customs can't tell. You're not gonna cook in there, are you? No, sir. We have this incredible show called Border Security. I've seen it. There's a lot of bungees right there. They're gonna stand in that thing like this. I think he's gonna die. It's gonna be a long shit. Yeah.

Um, at that time he also banned shooting a neighbor's dog on a Sunday. But he's so much to cover off in one law. Like, shoot, you know, you think you're gonna get a dog, you're gonna get a dog. You're gonna get a dog. You know, you think shooting a neighbor's dog probably, that's enough, but you're like, Sunday, no. That's not the day for that. If you are, if you have to, and we all understand that at some stage, we're going to have to shoot our neighbor's dog.

No, absolutely. Don't you be doing that on a Sunday. No, Sunday. That's the fucking morning. Yeah, you don't. Although... No, absolutely. Don't you be doing that on a Sunday. It's not Sunday. That's the fucking Lord's Day. Yeah. Yeah, you don't... Although... Yeah, we have a governor in the state, she was.

Yeah. Admit it, she shot her dog. She'll shoot a dog any day. Yeah. Yeah. His name was Cricket. Which is a sport, he was. Yeah. Okay.

Is there a point it a romantic goat? Yeah, she shot a goat too, sir. Are you happy with your influence? A goat was also shot, sir. Okay? Anybody, any other? I love that, but that guy really said, no one's talking about the goat man.

She shot a goat as well. Why wasn't anyone justice for the goat man? He leaves. Goat lives matter. GLM. So, many believe sunbathing and surfbathing had healing properties, but it had long been a problem on how one dressed to do it. Yes.

Two decades later, governors Bork and Gips. You haven't even got close enough for me to guess what your board is from, Bork. B-O-U-R-N-A-S- You literally, like, I believe you. Oh, Björk. Did you turn into the Swedish ship from the monkey show? You're a porker?

Pork! You're a little... Good man, it's a porker named after. Oh, Bork. Bork, yeah. That should be an E. Noded. Should be an E. Dave, let me ask you this real quick. Just a sidebar. Any of the words you've mispronounced here, are they ever right? No, because they use the words all wrong, Dave. Like, they're like, what if an O and a U was an I?

And you're like, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah I just wanted to make sure. Mostly no. They fucked up. They're not them. Their ancestors fucked up at some point. Right you're not mad at them. No no it's your ancestors like fucked up. But you're mad at them when they try to point out what their ancestors. It's no different than in New York when you walked on Houston street. What the fuck are you doing? Yeah, but that's like, I'm missing, okay, yeah, sure. Yep, thank you, buddy. Yeah, absolutely. All right.

I should've held his hand. Bork and Gibbs extended the ban to all waters that could be seen by the public between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. Okay. Six in the morning to item not. Yeah, pretty much. You can't swim naked. No swimming naked. I believe swimming naked.

This was to hide nude people from the public. Not stop people from sunbathing completely. So you could sunbathe in the end of the fall. Oh right, during the day. But then that weird crew that rolls in at 8 p.m.

and they're like, get out of the water. There you go, darling. Woo! It's dip time. I just shut a duck! Now, some resorts had changing rooms on wheels that were pulled by a horse so sunbaters could go into the sea without being seen. But you're saying that they were dragged out into the sea?

They would take those out and you'd be in it. And they'd take you out in a horse. And you'd go in a little zone here. And then you could be in the water. Yes, because you would, so no one can see you from the beach, so you can just go straight into the water. And you're fine. Oh my God, I want this for Bondi.

I can't take my shirt off down there. There's influences and stuff, right? But if someone could drag me out past the first... Yeah, that's not going to attract any attention. Drag me to the sandbag! Drag me to the sandbag! This is willful. But it would just be two people carrying him in like a sleeping bag and it just dropping him in a lull. That'll work!

So relaxed. Thank God the influencers can't see me. So in 1856, South Australia approved daylight bathing as long as the bathers were, quote, properly clad. Okay. Now dudes just kept taking it off and going into the water. Shocking. So separate areas were made for men and women.

Okay. And fines for entering the wrong gender area were one pound. Man, you know there are a lot of guys who are like, bing! Woo! Sir, you're missing the point. Here you are. Look at all those foxes. Those were pretty shallow too. You'd be like,

ah, what about 15 feet? I could see all the way. Like, what? I think it is. That's unbelievable. Look at him. Woo! The men who enforced these laws were called nuisance inspectors. laws were called nuisance inspectors. Jesus Christ. Well that doesn't sound right, does it? Yeah, no. That actually sounds like the person doing the... Yeah. That sounds like the comma story.

Excuse me, nuisance inspector. I can see your nuisance. Shantamay! Woo! But many were still taking their clothes off to enjoy the water. The Observer reported that some women would lying in the sand and the waves would wash over them, quote, literally carrying their dresses up to their neck so that, as far as decency is concerned, they might as well be without

a dress at all. Boy that is like full on fetish back then. Damage to masterbite. Sir? You know what I love as well is like, you were quoting I think the Observer newspaper, but it just also works if it was just animals. LAUGHTER Yes, what happens is the water will slowly lift it out. If you wait the tide out long enough,

it'll take it all the way and you'll see all the goods. LAUGHTER Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I was laid off. LAUGHTER I spend most of my days here now. Ooh! God am I bumpy.

Look at me! I've got anticipation, anticipatory bumps. I'm like man-braille. Go read me. Someone read me. We're gonna have to have to keep eating. Figure out what I am. You should... Great. Oh, I'm peaking.

In 1889, the mayor of Manly said nuisance specers could ignore naked bathing before 7 a.m. So now you can be nude before 7. Just hang out. Sure. Christians kept pushing for crackdowns. Well, that's definitely not a city of crackdowns. These centering conservative, priggish people were called Miss Grundy's. Miss Grundy's? What's happening?

I know she's Miss Grundy, I don't even need to be told. Yeah, I mean they're Karens, right? They're Karens. Right. They're the old school Karens. Ass Karens. So they were anti, they... They don't wanna see any of this bullshit on the beach. Right, no.

Totally caught up. They got us the full time of the day. Yeah, right. They want you full dress. In the whole time. You drampy dress. Yeah, right. Yup.

They thought bathers could not control their desires. Quote, bathing stimulated the desire for flesh, aroused erotic thoughts thoughts and encouraged sexual crimes. Oh, ha ha ha! Ah! Not helping. Ah! You actually are not helping.

Ah! Oh, Grundy. No, you're not supposed to be into Grundy. No, I'm into Grundy. Maybe Grundy's problem is she's just never sat on the water and let her dress get lifted up by the hand of Neptune. Believe me, I used to be against it. Till I felt it.

Once you go crack, you never go back. I don't need this. Come on! Party! Have good. It's fun! Sloshy. An all day surfing movement was formed in 1890 to fight against the daylight bathing ban.

Wait, what? All-day surfing? How is that countering the... Well, they want to be able to do whatever you want all day long and go out and just... Okay, that's the loophole. So the idea is if you're on a board, it's like you could be naked. No, no, surfing just means like you go in the surf. Oh, okay.

So they just literally want, they're like, can we just go in the fucking water? Like they're the normal people. Okay. Yeah. Hundreds of bathers lobbied to overturn it, but councils didn't lift the ban because no one could agree on what should be worn if they did. Okay. The Grumby's got more local councils to ban public bathing during daylight. In 1891, a manly

council passed a law requiring bathers to wear costumes and told cops to enforce laws more. But it continued. Tensions increased with Christians becoming more strident. In 1901, an upset James Wilson told the New South Wales Legislative Council of, quote, men in an absolute state of nudity who appeared at the public baths in the domain. I like the big, the strict numbers. Tonight we storm the beach. I mean, sometimes in Australia we do that and it doesn't work out so well. So the one behind this one, I gotta be honest with you,

we don't have a great history with storming beaches. In fact, one really famous one happened in Scomo's electorate. I think it's just important that you guys try. When Right. So the Grundys get more and more... Not a great name for the people who are anti, like, button-tanked. Yeah, we should bring it back. Because the Grundy sounds like the zone that you'd be for it, you know? But the Grundys, we like that zone! Yeah. It's just a point. In 1902, paper editor and artist William Goetjer started a one-man campaign to legalize bathing

during daylight hours in Sydney. So he wants all nude all day. Just do what you want. He's saying a one-man campaign. I love this. This is the yield that he has decided to go up. Naked. Yeah, this is it.

I've got it. This is me. I'm going to be the leader of this. Are you going to the beach again? Yeah. Yeah, I'll show them. Naked. Oh Jesus, he's back. Come on! Look at the he's back. Come on! Look at the form! It's a beauty! He announced he'd sunbathe publicly at Manly on three Sundays in a row.

Oh yeah. Okay. Well he's got his big diet, he's counting down. He's not shooting his neighbor's dog. diet he's counting now he's not shooting his neighbors dog since I can't shoot the neighbors dog I've gone on other things the council condemned him so they put him in there like fuck this guy we condemn you and he's like alright whatever and refused to change the band so he laid out in the Sun in a knee

to neck outfit when he went in and out of the water he wore a raincoat wait with the knee to neck outfit or just yeah oh he did. But doesn't that not defeat the purpose of being in the water? And also... When he's not in the water, he gets off the raincoat. Oh, I can't get that. So once he's submerged, he must have an assistant. So wait, what? No, no, sorry. He goes in there... So he's laying on the beach.

Fully clothed, and his knee... Neck to knee. And then he... Neck to knee. I remember. And then he gets up, and he puts on his raincoat so it's not too fed and then he walks down to the water and gets in the water and takes off the raincoat and swims like a child. But he's still in his neck to knee outfit.

So all he's doing, so really he's basically being like, that'll teach him and they're like awesome. What? He wore a curtain. Uh huh. He's basically being like that'll teach him and I Well guess what I'm not naked happy now But you are right like what is he doing with the raincoat once he takes it off like He must have an assistant and it must be there must be an accomplice. Yes, they're totally naked. That's awesome. Good work. We're going to put the system on trial. Do you like my mustache? Yeah, I mean, whatever, honestly.

System is observed. That's a roger. The cops let him go in twice. The cops let him go in twice? The cops let him go in twice? In the water twice. But he's fully clothed. Well, is he? Yes.

Not according to the law. Okay. And the third time they arrest him. Wait what law is he breaking? He's not supposed to sunbathe in the tight neck to neck. So this is like flirtatious provocation in the neck to neck. Yeah, if you see a guy... He's fully covered.

You can see his shins. Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, oh gross. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my god. Have you ever seen a guy's shins and not want him to fuck? What? If any, I will say the male-like area is very erotic and attractive. Very erotic. Yeah.

That's why everyone wears socks now. So he was quickly released on bail and the Inspector General declined to prosecute. So without the support of the police or the Inspector General, the council was forced to repeal the law in 1903. Oh my god, so it was like a political protest anymore? Yeah, it worked. Wow. The rule now was, quote, bathers shall be clothed or covered from the neck and shoulders to the knees with

a suitable bathing dress or a costume. Really resonated for one person. Yeah. Really hit home. So now you don't have to wear rain ring. You like to have the fish. In your next immediate fit. It feels like he didn't do much. He did. He did.

He got his shins. Shins, you know what it's like. I really... You go and get a little bit and then you can... Sure. And the next guy comes over and is like, we should be able to have our dicks out. Right, right.

No, too much. Oh, too much. We should be able to stroke our guts as we watch the board show. No, please. I'm about to show my brown eyes! Yeah, all right, relax, relax. Please, please. The undermouth.

Lower into like a v-neck or something. Yes, a v-neck, then yeah, that slips down the shoulders like a cocktail. Yeah, yeah. And then slowly, we rip the whole attire off. Woohoo! Completely naked. Exactly. Baby steps. Why are you physically moving further away from me?

That's what I understand. You know why. Come on! What's wrong, buddy? Don't make me part of this. You don't like the old Frankenbeins? Well, I actually am going to maybe move a couple feet away from you, man. That's a shame that you put it that way.

Alright. So, uh, then this grimey's are upset. Sure. So, segregation occurs. Manly ropes off the ocean and fenced the beaches. Oh, Jesus Christ. What was the beginning of that one? Segregation occurred.

Manly roped off the ocean and fenced the beaches Newcastle put a barbed wire fence around the ladies bathing place Oh my god To keep people out? Or in Or in But to take high jobs is within the case For your own protection you can't leave the beach.

You live here now! Trollic! Trollic! Enjoy it now! There's no men here! Isn't freedom grand? As there's like eight dead men on barbed wire. Oh, we're knocking them off, that's for sure.

Ironically, their baby costumes have fallen off, but don't worry, they're not coming back. A lot of sharks are approaching with all that chummed blood though, huh? Not thought this through. Anyway, have a good day off! Great solution. The men have solved the problem. There's now dangerous wire surrounding your vacation area. Okay? There you go. I mean, I'm sure it kept the guys from going in.

Sure. It's like the same way you guys put up the Bob wire around like Darwin and stuff because you're scared of the Japanese during World War two same thing But just this case it's met with You were whispering so I went over just People heard it felt weird We were whispering, so I wanted to bring it up. I think we were whispering in the microphone. People heard. It felt weird. Yeah, okay. Oh, I mean that's how you make us feel all the time.

That's part of my beauty. Hey, hey. Yeah, okay. I'm just talking to Will for a minute. We're in the middle of a show. Put on some YouTube, I gotta talk to Willa about something. By the way, if you type Y-O-U in your computer, I bet Tube's not the next thing to come up. I have to pervert. We know what you're doing.

Man, Australian Wi-Fi sucks, I can't upload our videos! Ahhhhh! Man, Australian Wi-Fi sucks, I can't upload our videos. Ahhhhhhh. It does suck. It splains all the lotion on the head. That wasn't lotion. He's calling housekeeping. Hey, do you have any more of the hand lotion?

No, I got plenty of soap. It's the hand lotion I'm running real low on. Yes, again. I've been looking at pictures of women in the bathroom. I've been looking at pictures of women in the bathroom.

Give me barbed wire you can build around my gut. Having a naughty day. Oh right, so they put Bob Warrant. The Christians still constantly reported to the press there was heathenism on the beach. And they opposed what the Bathers wore actual sunbathing and mixed bathing mixed bathing mixed bathing if you see a man and a woman in the surf swimming it's like watching them fuck At the beach I go to, he kind of is. Can Dave get that address when he gets there? He's gotta upload some videos. He's gotta shoot some videos.

He's just doing these shows, with tougher versions, for buying the cameras. These are just testing for his shoot at the beach. He can focus so good. It's just burying him. Perfect. Sir, sir, move! No reason. In a letter to the editor from a mother of girls...

That was...who? Sincerely, Mother of Girls. Wrote of the quote, Heaps of sprawling manned lands, Naked, but for a nondescript rag Around their middle, Who had forced her to vacate Balmoral Beach.

Balmoral. So they...they're just loinclothing it up basically. A mother of girls said that she saw heaps of sprawling men and lads naked, but for a rag around the middle, their so-called bathing costumes might put an aboriginal to shame. Oh Jesus Christ. Well, lost the room. I know. Lost the room. I can't believe there was racism back then. Shhh. As opposed to today.

She closed by saying sunbathers should be flogged. I flogged myself, thank you very much. Yeah, it does feel like you've just taken that photo of him right outside the barbed wire fence. Yes! Let me in! Or don't. But most people were fine with what was happening. With what? The nudity? Yeah, most normal people are like, yeah, it's fine, but it's just allowed Christian minority.

But on the road if I ever have the choice between a hotel or an Airbnb I always go Airbnb just because it's better I like a

home over a hotel. But recently I did start thinking, well while I'm gone can I turn my place into an Airbnb? And the answer is yes. It can be as easy as putting your place up and then having a little more scratch generated from someone staying at my place while I'm on the road. So whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for something more fun your home might be worth more than you think. find out how, and how much, at Airbnb.ca slash host.

I think you're tone. He's not in no, but it seems one of those things Where he's very turned on by it, so it's wrong Like there was like a guy on the news recently like in Australia like on the Gold Coast complaining about like women wearing Yeah People they're the same people.

They're old then. Yeah, they're old then. Incredibly old people. They're much older. Yes, they were. They made dogs. They made a bad world, I say. Two hundred year old Martha.

They called something. There's larkins, black guards, dogs and... No dogs, and... No dogs, look out! Senator was like watching crocs watching for prey. I thought they liked praying. I'm having fun with you. In 1907, the Waverly Council proposed and the mayors of...

Said yes. Several towns, Waverly, Randwick, and Manly agreed to regulate what bathers could wear. Anyone over eight had to cover from quote, the neck to the bend of the knee and of such material as not to disclose the color of the skin. What? Crazy? How many grown men were like, I'm seven and a half years old. I'm a little boy.

I've lost me daddy. It's Christ. Not done. Oh? With a tunic worn over the combinations both covering the body from the neck to the knee and the tunic shall have sleeves reaching to at least halfway from the shoulder to the elbow. Holy fuck.

Okay. So you put away like the... Nun's outfit? I mean it's layers right? It's layers right? It's layers. Now it's like having the thing they had before right? Yeah.

And then like a wrap over it. Okay, interesting. Wow. I mean look, okay, I get that when like there is a part of me that's like I've been sucked up in your story and I've been going, you know what, this is terrible. People should be able to wear whatever they want. They should be able to bathe in the beach, you're free. But what it's kind of occurred to me is that we live in a country that has a climate change

and absolute disaster happening. There's an acid hole in the ozone mine. And Melanoma is one of the biggest killers in Australia. There's always government campaigns telling us that when we go to the beach, we've got to cover up so that we don't get played. This was... Are you a Grundy? You know what? I'm not a Grundy. The Grundy's your son's son, you know? The Grundy's meaning you've got a son's son to say it, you know?

You just became a Grundy? I'm a Grundy. I'm proudly Grundy. Call me Sundy or Mundy, I'm a Grundy. That's what I say. I'm a grundy. Call me Sunday or Monday, I'm a grundy. That's what I say. Where's grundies? Why don't you make dearest and dearest? I'm a grundy. I'm a very-a-grundy. This is a great new chapter for you. I love this for you. Your next stand-up shows are all pro-Grundy. Oh you know what? We made a mistake when we took off our clothes at the beach. Let's come back.

We did. Ah yes, please. Just trying to think of the pun name for it. We'll get there. We'll get there. We're Lundies. We'll get there. Willundies. We'll get there. The Bathers were furious. A large meeting was called of all Serb bathing clubs. Wow.

That's a Bondi, Bondi, Serb, what? Serb club or something? That's the original Bondi recipe right there. Yeah, I mean they really were. They were really OG surf rescuers. It's a good thing they got all that rope too. Yeah, well then you wear the rope out when you went out to get someone. Ah, right. Confidence in your swimming abilities. That fills me with confidence. Why do they cut that out of Paywatch? Rope me! I'm gonna go

kusto'em. They called the new outfit a skirt. This? No these guys are mad at the tunic. Okay. Due to the tunic one member wrote that the regulations would kill surf bathing. Quote, bathers are the most manly of men who love the exhilarating battle with the breakers and they would not for a moment tolerate the wearing of women's clothes. It's weird that they are, one group is arguing for tunics

and the other one wants full nudity. Like there's no. Well these guys just don't wanna, these guys just don't want to be in what they think are dresses. Right, they're comfortable with this. Yeah, they're fine with this, but they've been told they have to wear a tunic over it. That's a dress!

Yeah, okay. They also said a skirt would be cumbersome and dangerous in the seat. Yes. The Redwood Mayor was surprised so many were upset. The next day, all they heard about was quote, the salt water killed. City officers were being harassed,

so they blamed the mayors. And the frustrated Renwick mayor quote, we have only arranged that the costume must be like a pair of pants and a jersey or a tunic. It is simply a neck-to-knee costume. There is nothing at all about men or women wearing skirts. Why the... Who added the tunic? Like the tunics where everything went wrong, right?

Yes. Like everything was like kind of on the right track a little bit, and then someone was like, end the tunics where everything went wrong, right? Yes. Like everything was like kind of on the right track a little bit and then someone was like, end the tunic. They wanted something over the... Yeah, they want to drown people. They don't want to see the con piece that these guys are... Well maybe it's that they knew that like once you get rid of the... Like they threw the tunic back in as like a... An over...

We knew we'd lose this in the negotiation. Yeah, right. We can't ruin the tunic but we're still getting hit in the head, right? Totally. We want you'd lose this in the negotiation. Yeah, right. We can't ruin the tunic, but we're still getting hit together, right? Totally. Yeah. We want you to wear a tunic. Yeah, a tunic. I know, we know.

We have two other requirements. No, bullshit! We'll just wear neck-to-knee stuff. Oh, we got screwed in the negotiation. Fine. The Sydney Herald said quote, Mayor Watkins on Saturday last distinctly stated that baters must wear skirts and that he meant to enforce it.

So he's saying one thing like it. That's not what it is. Sydney Herald's like, no, that's what he's saying. Oh, okay. So good reporting. That's not what it is. Cindy Harrell's like, no, that's what he's saying. Oh, okay, so good reporting. So the Grundy said the changes were needed because the laws were being violated. Quote, by a certain class wearing those transparently flimsy material, the public had to be protected from that class. Yes.

The working class. Yes. Oh. So they're now frequenting the beach because they can get there easier. Yes. But the mayor... Factory penises. Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Blue collar dongs they are. Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Calloused hands only from work a little bit. We know what they want to do. Get their scrotums in the water! Ha! We're gonna watch it!

Just cause they work regular jobs! You don't see us rich people getting in there with our dicks out? No! We do it in our home. Our servants go out, get a bucket of seawater, and then pour it on us in our chambers. Disgusting.

I abhor the poor. Now... What? You're from the American South? Huh? That's right. I'm even saddened. What?

I moved here as a boy. What? Got a fucking problem, pervert? No, I moved here as a boy. What? Got a fucking problem, pervert? No, no. Why don't you go make a license plate or some other bullshit? What does that even mean? I'm from money, fuckface. Okay.

Okay? The ocean's my pool. Well. I don't need your donking it up. Your weird cock water. Yeah, why don't I just drink the water your boiled hot dogs in? That'll work. I'm fully clothed.

Shut the fuck up. It's the message people like you push. Yeah, that's right. We just want to go in the water. I know with your dicks out. No. Yes it is. We're wearing... Put on a prom dress.

Laughter Now if people like me want to go swimming in our jewels, we may. Laughter But people like you can't be out there with your dirty crabby pews. Laughter What? Yeah, that's right. I know what you're doing. Disgusting pig people. I know what you're doing.

Disgusting pig people. Shooting your dogs on Sundays. That's for every other day, fuck one! Gross. Again, why are you from the South? Because my dad was Australian. He started a small business in Hitt and I knew I was gonna run it when I got older. So I was a prick my whole life.

And then I came here and I acted like I earned it. But I didn't. And I got a woman to marry me because she wanted my name. What are you looking at? I'm not an eye chart, you fucking bitch. Yeah, wipe your glasses up so you can go work your little factory buttons. People like you make me sick. Shut the fuck up!

Say one more thing. I fucking love it. This is blood! Blood of boy. Oh hey, what's up? We're at home and... I don't have much left in the tank for you, but I've got... If you want some, you can get some. This beach is still open for a couple more hours. I'm back to Gareth. I don't know how that guy would make you lose your place.

So the working class are now frequenting the beach. So they passed these regulations about the tunic and the mayor came and said, well, the guy who writes up the regulations had refused to accept the form. So as of now the rules aren't in effect. So the guy who like did the official document. Okay. The next day the papers printed letters from readers and one asked the mayor to explain how they could tuck in a tunic.

How they could tuck in a tunic? A life-saving organization said no one would swim out to save a person while wearing a tunic. When would they be fined for doing so? One said the definition of a tunic was a petticoat. And who was making money off the proposal? Who was invested in tunics? Big petty. This goes all the way to the top. This goes all the way to the top. The Herald called the tunic a quote, relic of ancient Rome being forced upon an unsuspecting

people. Oh my god. Nobody's rational. No. But also the art are forced to tune in on people. This is a era when we say to people you must wear a petticoat when you go to the beach. Just swim. Yep.

Okay. Yep. Others, and this wasn't your story todayat when you go to the beach. Just wait. Yep. Okay. Yep. Others... And this is what your story today is about as well, right? No.

Oh, nice. This is... This is the first two paragraphs. We're just... This one's about dinosaur bones. It's about Captain Cook. Others said it would negate the therapeutic benefits of bathing. Sure.

Okay. Days later, the Surf Bathing Association was crazy. They were horrified of this forced skirt emasculation. And they organized a protest, even though the proposal had already been dropped. That Sunday. Smart, well that's good though, I like that. You're like, I like our chances.

We're gonna fight the system, take them down. We've already agreed to your terms, we strike. Pronunciation coming up that'll test it. That Sunday protests were held at Bondi, Manly and Coogie? That's now them. Who the hell is Bondi and Can I? That's good? Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, that's right. Koji. Koja? Koji? Koji. Koji, Koji, Koji. Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji, Koji. Koji, good boy. Good boy.

Koji, Koji. You're a bad boy. You know what happens to bad boys? Yep. It's not who we are. Good boy. It's not who we are. Coochie coochie. You're a bad boy, you know what happens to bad boys? Woof. Yep. It's Monday. You sound like you're saying Grundy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir, no. Oh, I've got a case of the Grundy's. You know, the white Scrum guys got you.

I see. I see. So thousands came to the protest. I'm a starfield fan. So thousands came to the protest. The men wore women's clothing. Are you telling me that you protested about not wanting to wear women's clothing? Maybe more women's clothing. Is that what happened? Yes. Well, so damn. You got one out there? Yes. We'll save them. I'm worried that we are agreeing to what they want.

No, we're showing them by being cross-dressed. Who says we don't like it? We won't wear dresses. How are we going to show them? Put on some dresses. Come back next week for Suck Cops for 105 years. I told you! The Sun quote,

To say that the costumes were grotesque and would not convey an adequate idea of the ludicrous and amusing get-ups. It was the largest crowd ever at Bondi. Working class men, at 10.30 a.m., they marched onto the beach, quote, accompanied by a cheer and variously clad brigades issued forth. Dozens of camera fiends rushed to the scene. Camera fiends? Yeah. Okay, sure. Yeah, yeah.

Thank you. Thank you. Absurdists. Absurdists. Absurdists. A large crowd. It doesn't really matter if you're obscurant if someone needs to go to another layout under these.

Absurdists. Oh, that's part of the fetish. Oh, good. It doesn't really matter if you ask someone if they've got another layout under these curtains. Oh, that's part of the fetish. That's such a real answer. What are you winking at? Every what? A large crowd of cheering sunbathers surrounded them. The leader wore a muslin dress.

Quote, the material being so thin that its lanky form could be plainly seen. So the guy in the muslin dress was like, okay, you can see the don't you? He was presenting. When he got his feet wet, he screamed like a damsel in distress and a group of lifesavers came down and rescued him. They then formed a procession with banners and men wore petticoats evening dresses fancy hats long skirts and undergarments one was dressed as tired tim a lazy hobo from the time but with a skirt on. Oh whoa what the fuck. So that was lazy hobo from the time, but with a skirt on. Oh, whoa, what the fuck? So that was a famous cartoon from the time.

Two lazy hobos. They chanted, will we wear skirts? No. Will we be old women? No. Are the Alderman old women? Yes. Cots strove watching.

The crowd named three cheers for sunbathing and three for the surf. What? The new law was dead in the water. When beach regulations came out seven months later, there was no mention of the tunic. Still, all had to wear neck-to-knee outfits while on the sand.

Beachwear slowly became more revealing over time. Consumers pushed it, particularly after World War I as more tolerance of the human body arrived. Nice. The middle-class teens mingled on the beach in more revealing outfits. In the late 1920s shorts and brassieres for women and trunks for men became normal. And the Miss Grundy's hated it. Reverend Ebbs of Manly, quote,

where should be hunted off the beach and harbor fronts? Wow. But no one cared. More people wore the revealing outfits. The neck-to-knee laws remained, but there was no enforcement. The Waverly Council often discussed beachwear, and in 1929, the council declared Bondi was to be for gentlemen. Aside from nude sunbathing, games of leapfrog were banned. There you go, Defrod.

I'm playing a simple, humble game of leapfrog with my friends. There was so little to do. Is this before the ball was invented? Defrods leap over each other? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Are you talking to us? Yeah. If they're in like a... Do you know him? Rugby league, like a community rugby league or they... I don't know. If they...

Sometimes they like try out oils. They what? I'm sorry, some dickhead shouted at the beach. What? Well, I've got guys... When guys get oils, they're like... Is that... Are you signing off on with this guy? I want to go. I can't believe guys get oils and they're like, can I... Is that, are you signing off on with this guy? I like the foam.

Who can't? See the thing, he can't hop anymore because of the hips. Hey, hey, hey. And you know what, see, he's my favorite solo musician, he keeps hopping and throwing me around. I just love the music, it's hip hop and that's all I need to know. You can, you don't have to hop over... You can hop over me as many times as you want and I don't even need to hop over you. Not on this fucking beach! Jesus Christ. Leapfrog, it was like, wow, that'd be great. Woo, and we leapfrog all day, boy. Woo, until you can't top a day like today.

Swim, and we just jumped over each other for miles. Cricket was also banned. Oh my, first they wanted to come from Lake Cron. And now they're gonna sit up for Lake Cron. But then they come from cricket. And first it's the frogs, then it's the crickets. I've got to tell you. It's Australia's two-man sport.

Yes. The world leapfrog champion. I want to see a frog leaping. I want to know from a leaker. In October 1935, the Minister for Local Government, Eric Spooner, introduced Orbits 52. People had to cover the front of the torso between the armpits and the waist and at least three inches of the upper leg. Women must wear half skirts. Everyone made fun of a spooner." Good. He said there were many complaints including from the County Women's Association. So they were complaining about the all the people basically nude on the beach. These are the people who were upset. Spooner then designed the spooner suit. Oh, fuck me. Oh boy, I can't.

So he made very specific rules about what should be a nice... Disguise. Yes! I've got ideas since Spooner. I've got no lips, but a lot of ideas. Everyone laughed at me, so I made an outfit. That'll teach them to laugh. This spooner says, yes, the spooner three inches below the top of the leg all the way up to the top of the chest with a V shape to the small neck and made of...

Spoons. Wool. Oh no! Oh my god. As we all know, sheep found mostly in the ocean. I mean, the worst... Is there a worse

material for a painting? Lend. Lend. Fire. worse material for a painting? Lay. Fire. Fire is a good one. The ocean would mostly look like that. Asbestos. It's not a pitch session. I know, that might have been dark too. Tumors! I might have been a dog too. Yeah, definitely got weird, yeah. Yeah, this is sped up.

TUMORS! DEAD DOGS! LIONS! LIONS AND BONES! You gotta love the asbestos guy living his dreams. Honey, watch me get involved in the podcast that I listen to. You know, it seems like they're doing pretty well, but I feel like they probably want a fourth involved in this one.

Darling, I think you should shut the fuck up. No, no, no, no, no. Look, they got a little bit of momentum, but I work all day in a restaurant. I think I know what I'm doing. Well, just pitch like a material that makes sense. No, no. Mine will be really, really obscure, long, not helpful.

But if it hits, holy fuck, think of the upside. I can even imagine a world where they pull up a fourth chair. Throw that out there and have me sit up there. So some mocked a new rule. Alex Perkins of the Manly Surf Life Saving Club strolled across the beach in shorts socks and shoes with his chest bare an inspector escorted him off the sand you piece of shit I mean it's weird that you're wearing socks and shoes

like you've taken your shirt off and you've left your shirt off, you've left your socks and shoes on, and the bridge has like, Oh, yeah! He should be arrested! Like, I'm not a fucking creep! Jesus Christ, sir. What are you doing?

Crocs and socks? Come on! So, the council dec declined to prosecute him. The Surf Life Saving Association said, quote, it should be our aim to encourage young men to take pride in their physique. This cannot be better encouraged than the opportunity to expose their rippling muscles to sunshine, pressure, and public eye.

Look, they've got big beautiful nipples. Let's see them. Show your muscles. Let's see those man titties. Front and back. Maybe they should have to lift kettlebells while they're out there. Maybe there should be little holes for men like me to stand behind walls where we can do what we like through them.

Hey, we're all saying the same thing. Let people wear what they want to the beach and let those of us who want to put our willies through holes in walls that we bring, go ahead. No, I was saying I want to do that. Ah, fucking, man, I'll tell you, I felt like I was on an island for a while out here. But some of us want to build fences around our dongs and watch the man lift the kettlebells on the beach. Yes!

That's really the end of the pitch. I don't know why I brought the laser pointer. Mark Twain for this dictator offense! Well, look, historically we can't really back that one up. I think this guy missed Red Huckleberry Finn, to be quite frank with you. Mark Twain was, you know, kind of a literary punster, but I don't know if he did that.

Maybe don't help the cause with that Mark Twain stuff, okay? I guess it was always this story that I heard. Uh-huh, all right. Look, I would like to officially distance myself from this man who I recently started associating myself with. White dicks especially. Oh my god. Literally what the fuck just happened?

Holy shit, it's hard to believe at one point I co-signed anything this man said. Holy fuck. No. So, the grungies have lost the battle. A body did not mean sexual deviancy, but it was looked on as health and fitness. In the 1940s, women started showing a bit of midriff. Oh, fuckin' A. Yeah! Beach inspectors mostly ignored it,

as it was seen as minor. In 1945, in post-war France, Louis Arrard, so Louis was a mechanical engineer who took over his mother's lingerie business. He came up with a skimpy two-piece with legless bottoms and named it after the nuclear testing site, the Bikini Atoll. Oh my god, it's the invention of the atoll. That guy finally's okay with me. Well at the beginning it took a toll on me. Because he thought the bikini would also change the world. Because he thought the bikini would also change the world. Louis had actually ripped it off from Jacquim, who had made the same outfit, but named it the Atom.

Because it was so small, bikini was a better name. Let me at them, huh? Come on! Models thought it was so risque, only dancer Michelin Bernardini would wear it. The week said it would reveal quote, everything about a girl except her mother's maiden name. She would accept her maiden name. My mother's maiden name is Bush, I think he's wrong. I'm positive. Oh, really? I designed it to cover the pubic hair of the era. So, don't worry.

That will go on through the 70s. Uh huh, that's exact. He also said it was, quote, just enough to protect the property without spoiling the view Yeah, right? Just enough to protect the property without spoiling the view But you know what? That sounded so much nicer in French Yeah, you know, you love the view, huh? But you don't get to stay on the property

Wow, that is awful, huh? I don't think it does sound better I don't think that was French I think you confused speaking in a vaguely European accent for speaking French No, I spoke in French Hey, you want the view? You gotta rent the apartment, huh? Oh fuck, I gotta stop talking.

Holy shit. This is existential, huh? Quite the many. So it caused a worldwide sensation. Not many people were ready for it. The new New South Wales Minister for Local Government, Joe Carl, said it appeared to be quote, altogether too revealing and councils needed to act. Yeah, I love that the local government guys are like, this is a local

government initiative. I think they need to leave the off the bikini. Bring them in. Well, his comment led women to wear it. The next day, two local models walked in bikinis on, I forgot how to say this, Koji Beach? Koji, Koji, Koji. Koji, Koji, Koji. Koji Beach. So it turns out Mark Foy's department store

had hired these models to create publicity and sell suits. Or to sell suits, or to sell vices. Sell the vices. I got it. I'm sorry. It's a controversial thing. Is anyone coming to the suit sale?

Oh, this'll sell it to all of us, didn't it? Oh. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, you're on the nice list. Wow. Thank you. Wow. Sometimes.

Wow. But now you've proved you can do it. Oh, I can't do it. I just don't want to do it. Yeah. I don't want to do it. I don't respect the other guy. I don't respect him. No, no, no. I don't believe in it. It's... oh fuck, whatever.

So, the Sun has an article with a pic the next day, quote, The men whistled at the girls, but generally expressed disapproval of the suit. Yeah, that's a real disapproving face. Oh, that is a face of disapproval. How dare you! And guys, I was doing the international side of the disapproval. Oh, whoa!

The moments before this group of lads invented what's called the Ocean Jack. A very popular children's show in Australia, Ocean Jack. I'm the very popular children's show in Australia, Ocean Jack. Good night children, I'm Ocean Jack. Turn that off. There's also a late night Ocean Jack. Ocean Jack after dark.

This is Ocean Jack. Did you put the kids to bed? Let's get freaky. It's the same Ocean Jack different hour. Why are there not Ocean Jacks because it's lotion Jack. We're the motion of the lotion in the ocean with Jack. Wonder why the waves got so frothy? And salty. It's just, fish are dead behind him. Jesus Christ, Ocean Jack, you're an ecological disaster. I'm like this all the time.

Shut the fuck up! You've bleached the coral reef! It's a nice eh? You should have put up a great barrier! Oh! No more nif-a-do! Jesus Christ, Ocean Jack! Ocean Jack hanged in the Hague today. He went out when he wanted to. Auto-Aerotic Asphyxiation. By the way, they're had to be

at some point in history. Some fucking hilarious motherfucker. But when they hanged him, he's like, fucking hell. Wait, give me a minute. Loosen my hands. Jesus Christ. Oh, I did not know how to read to it, but just for a second before they know I will like... Fuck me, this is amazing. His last words were, hey, just so you know, this feels amazing. Wait, hang me again! I'd like to be hanged next, you've done nothing wrong!

How really? So, Foy says the suits were for private use on a private beach or a private garden. The son quoted women, quote, I think it's disgusting. I wonder what girls will be wearing five years from now. An older man in Brisbane, quote, it's a child-leaving idea provided the girls weren't in a good looking. So councils immediately banned the bikini, as did all of Australia. There was a nationwide bikini ban.

I mean, yeah, basically. I think all the states did. Bans just made the bikini a thing. Days later, during a packed day at Bondi, someone yelled, quote, look, French costumes! And half the beach stampede Thousands formed a mob for inspectors Beach inspectors Pushed into the middle

Where there were no French swimsuits? No bikinis it took took 30 minutes to convince their mob there was nothing to see. But all day people kept yelling, French swimsuit! And crowds would form. One girl was rescued from a mob even though she was just in a regular swimsuit. Wow. Days later, the Sydney Telegraph,

okay, so this is what the beach, what do you call them, lifesavers? Yeah, lifesavers. We call them... David Hasselhoffs. David Hasselhoffs. So these guys did both. They would save lives and also keep an eye on what you were wearing.

Oh yeah. So days later, the Sydney Te telegraph reported the young waitress Norma Milgate bought a bikini by mail and ward around the town of norming Nor am I Took a shot. I lost She went are we fucking hurt? She went shopping but was barred from bubble baths, then quote, walked to the cemetery in the Suwan Su.

Yes! And then the thriller video started. Yes! Norma, right? Norma? Was that her name? Yeah. Uh, no, her. Yeah, Norma, yeah. Norma. Love it. Just the other century you became. Yeah, just people like, I miss you, oh Christ.

Look at her. Hello. Hey, mom. century you became yeah I miss you Christ hi mom Now Dave, what? Uh, he wasn't buried. Stop talking. I mean, it's illegal. I'll cut this part out. My sister took him and put him in part of the the urinal in his favorite bar and then the rest I'm in the parking lot.

He's fine. He's fine. The Doogies in Santa Summer. Yeah. It's not always easy to decide, but we all part ways. I think more people should be, if they didn't like their parents, encouraged to do bad things with their ashes. So she walked to the cemetery in the swimsuit and place flowers on the grave of a friend she Sunbaked in the park her mother quote Norma loves to sunbaked and read history books She neither drinks nor smokes and never reads trashy love stories like most modern girls. The Dubbo Liberal then asked Townes people about Norma and no one saw the bikini and the paper said the telegraph must have been short on copy and was misinformed because it didn't happen.

So 17 year old Patricia Riley designed her own bathing suit. The bottoms had eight inches of transparent netting on each side so technically it's within the rules but the side of her thighs are exposed. And she wears it to Bandai. Aub Leibloh had been a lifesaver and beach inspector since 1929. He was six feet tall, quote, with massive shoulders and a barrel chest and wearing a distinctive white Panama hat with inspector embroidered on the band. He was known as the King of Bondi. Aub took one look at Patricia and booted her and he made her put on regular bottoms to return to the beach.

Patricia told reporters she'd come back the next week, that she would come back the next week, and she did. This time she was wearing flesh-colored briefs under the bikini bottom. And beach inspector Bill the Whale, Willis, he kicked her off the beach and then she put on a modest two-piece then went and stood on a car and held up her bikini and about 2,000 men then gathered she threw it into the mob and they tore it to pieces as they tried to get a souvenir. Just very normal. What the fuck? Just dudes. Wait.

Ah! She threw the two piece that she'd got. And they tore it apart because they're dudes. We're eating it. On October 19th, 1846, Pauline Morgan, who was a 17-year-old dressmaker, strolled down Bondi in a bikini, and a crowd of hundreds of men formed and ran towards her, trampling shelters knocking over women and children. The mob surrounded her, some climbing on shoulders, and they made wolf calls, cat calls, and whistles.

Morgan was knocked to the ground, teens tried to untie her strings, and then a middle-aged dude pulled her out and took her up to the dressing sheds. Bros! Obquote. The costume is indecent. I used my authority to confiscate it. And smell it! I've got to do this! By law!

Very normal. Just confiscated the thing. They gave her a receipt for it. There you go. Oh, that's alright. They gave her a receipt for it. Oh, that's alright. Pauline went back in a one-piece quote, I can't understand all the fuss. Two weeks ago I wore a brief costume on Bondi Beach and never heard any more about it.

But it wasn't as brief as the one I wore today. So she said her fellow dressmakers disliked it and many people however in the press and just in general blame Pauline, not the men chasing her and trying to rip off her bikini. No, they're heroes. So the next summer they had detectives undercover as beachgoers. That is hilarious. I love sand. What a great day. Just having a day off with my friends. My other four bros. There!

Okay, so four years later, not one store still dared sell bikinis. And then in June 1951, American actress Jean Parker went to Bondi in a bikini. It was a publicity stunt. The whale told her to leave, and Jean told reporters she'd worn bikinis on tons of US beaches and Australian women should try it because it's very comfortable. American papers then mocked Australian prudishness. You're welcome.

Again, I mean, failing young, you know, we're good. Okay. Yeah. In 1951, the Waverly Council voted 8-2 to keep enforcing the beachwear rules. But more and more people are pushing the limits and Aub told the Sun Guardian quote, despite the trend overseas, I don't think bikinis will ever be allowed on Bondi. That's so... I stand by this.

Right this now, in my 95, there will never be bikinis on Monday days. Or drinking beer out of your water bottle. Over the next few years more women wore bikinis and inspectors doubled them. The whale later said he was a lifesaver and that they resented policing outfits, but it was the job. But just a couple years before, he'd said, quote, the scantier a girl's costume, the scantier her brains. What the fuck does that even... what the fuck? Aww.

Yeah. I've talked to hundreds of girls and I have noticed that the ones who wear sensible one-piece costumes are full of sound sense. Yeah, you know, the beginning ones probably don't want to talk to the whale about their and I have noticed that the ones who wear sensible one-piece costumes are full of sound sense. Yeah, you know, the bikini ones probably don't want to talk to the whale about their wear. You seem to have a real problem. Boy, what is it with these women who I'm trying to tell what to wear? By 1957, Aude was more lenient.

He posted her a picture with a woman whose suit he approved of, though still very against bikinis. He is officially a part of law enforcement. Yeah. Yeah. But law enforcement. So many were now ignoring the law and just wearing bikinis. Some inspectors tried to be kind and quiet when dealing with a bikini infraction. But one inspector said Aub would quote, come up and scream and yell. And he now started to be mocked in cartoons. So despite current media trying to paint Aub as a

lifesaver who was a bit strict, I looked it up and in 1935 he beat a dog with his whistle until it bled. What the fuck? One day? Wanna Sunday? Sunday! I hope so. So he admitted that he struck the dog with his whistle. Until it bled.

Smiled. That proves that he has qualities for leadership. He's considered to be the Vice President of the United States of America. In case the President can't kill a dog. So in March 1961, Alderman W.F. Jackson of Greater Wollongong We're back, baby. said beachwear was too daring. Women's organizations had been given presentations

about offensive swimmers. So women's organizations, the Christian women, the grundies, are going around giving presentations to the politicians to try to get them to pull it back. Well done. Well done. And Jackson said if laws were enforced, clothing manufacturers would have to make suits to standards. Six months later on Saturday, Bondi is packed and Kevin Smith of ABC was doing man on the street interviews about bikinis and then he went to the beach

and he encountered Joan Berry who was an actress and a dancer. Excuse me, do you think that bikinis should be banned? Well I most certainly do and I don't think that's justice to a woman's figure. I think that there's nothing so beautiful and so, well I say, would attract attention to the stream-land and the beautiful woman's figure so much as the one, the piece with the skirt, which I think in filler web looks simply beautiful. But the bikini? No, definitely not. And this time, did I mention, we're on Bondi Beach. Do you think the bikini should be banned? Oh, definitely not, no. Why do you say that?

Well, I think most Australians like sunshine and well the more sunshine you can get on your body all the better, as far as I'm concerned. I think once you've worn a bikini you'd never wear a one piece costume again. What's your name? Antonia. How old are you, Antonia? Four. Do you know what a bikini is?

What is it? It's a swimsuit. What do you think of bikinis? Do you think they should be stuffed? People should be allowed to wear them? Hey, what the fuck just happened? That was the first case of a brown person on Australian television. It's a very historic moment now, country. I don't know why you're mocking it. That was the first case of a brown person on Australian television. It's a very historic moment now in Australia. I don't know why you're mocking it.

It's a fun old time of inclusivity. That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. A little child eating an ice cream being interrogated by a gentleman. And what do you think it is? I'm going to go forward. Past the big young four year old he asked about bikinis. Just me having fun. Do you think that bikinis should be banned? No, of course not. Why not?

Oh, it's just a fashion. There's nothing wrong with him. Excuse me. Put something on, madam. Don't walk around here without it. Put something on, please. Otherwise... You want me to take this, sir? Confiscate it. Well, it's somewhat separate. I don't care. Well, I'll confiscate it. You confiscate it. I will. All right. You get something on, I'll try and make it. It's alright.

You get something on him. Don't see any other of him like that, no? You come over to the beach and sit down. You come over to the beach and sit down. Take a rest. You come over to the beach and sit down. You come over to the beach and sit down. Come on, then. Come over to the beach and sit down.

No, never mind. You can come over to the beach and sit down. Come on. So she was arrested right then. Holy shit. And Av takes her away and orders her to change and to give her name and address. And she refuses to give her name and address. And then he has her arrested and taken to the police station in her bikini. What the fuck? The guy's like, okay.

And they send a cop to her home to get a dress. From her dress? This could get confusion. And then they bring the dress back and they have her get in and then they seize her bikini When I seize a bikini I freak out But I gotta go grab a dress from her address

And the sergeant tells her it's offensive and Joan says hundreds of women are wearing bikinis on the beach and Laidlaw is a fool. Two days later, she's in court. The cops bring the bikini to court in a brown paper bag. Laughter It's very naughty, Robert. Laughter We call it the stand the bikini.

Quotes. The bikini was placed on a bench before Mr. Bott SM. SM is Magistrate Eisenhower. He adjoined, that's why you're here, he adjoined the hearing for two weeks. There's like other stuff in here. Aub told the Sunday Mirror Quad, we are really making war on the bikini of her date this year. In the next days, inspectors went on a tear, removing over 50 women from the beach. The son printed a photo of Aub and another inspector menacingly standing

over a woman in a bikini. So this photo in particular was very bad for the inspector's public image. The son noted that under Ordinance 52 both of the inspectors in the photo had on illegal outfits. Oh, yeah, he was wearing a white white prices which was banned at the time. I mean, honestly. So many papers are now covering what are called the bikini attacks. A Daily Telegraph headline was, Storm in a Bikini, and it said the law was horribly outdated and everyone was breaking it and this just let inspectors choose who they wanted to fuck with all this not phased and said it came down to his judgment quote after you've

been on the job for a while you know what's right and what is it I think a lot more girls are trying to get away with daring costumes I sent three more off today, another fortnight and we'll have them weeded out. Local government officials said they'd updated the law, they would update the law. And when Joan had a trial the public was massively in favor of bikinis. The Waverly mayor said it wasn't just women, quote, we are taking a good look at the men as well and many of them have been sent off the beach for wearing exaggerated jockey shorts. The Herald reported that Jones bikini was available for viewing at Paddington police station. No I'm not. No I wasn't running.

John went to court at least four times from what I could read. Fuck, wow. According to the Forgotten Australia podcast, the cops expected her to ask for a closed court and plead guilty to avoid publicity, but quote, this is what she said, quote, I've got nothing to hide. So they're expecting this just all go away. And she's like, fuck you, I wore a fucking bikini. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, fuck you I wore a fucking bikini. You know what I'm saying Sid? Go boss. I see what's going on. She wanted everyone to see it and in court her lawyer questioned Aub. The lawyer showed a photo of him confronting Joan and said his scant outfit didn't meet regulations

and Aub had to agree that it did not. Yeah. The judge said Joan was a person of good character but very foolish in behavior. And she was fined three pounds. Uh, for offensive behavior and also calling Aub a fool. Uh, okay. A fool? Right, man.

Yeah. Because he's like a cop so you're not allowed to, I guess, do that. Ordinance 52 now look completely ridiculous. Waverly councilman Alderman Enfield had an idea. Women in two pea swimsuits should parade in front of the council, quote, Alderman could then judge if bikinis are decent. Alderman, you know? judge if bikinis are decent. So that didn't happen. The law was gone before the end of the year and people just had to wear a proper and adequate

bathing suit. Inspectors had much less authority and bikini crimes were over. But it feels like, based on all the reading I did AAB and the whale tried to redo their past a little bit making it seem like they were okay with bikinis but had to follow the law and enforce the rules and they didn't want to. But then I found that they had beach inspector reunions. Well they started in like 1960 and won the whale pose with an 18 year old girl for the press. In 1967 beach inspectors were given a look at beachwear and what to inspect that year. Now I'm going to show you what will be on the beach this season.

And some you'll approve of and I know there might be some you'll disapprove of. But you will see some controversial garments and I'd like to know whether you approve of them or whether you disapprove and I'm sure you'll give me an opinion. What do you object to in this one? I don't know at all. That's the way off. Oh, it's maddening. Would you put any of these off the beach?

No, not in the sea. What do you think of this one? Would you put any of these off the beach? Not in the beach. What do you think of this one? I think it's alright on the top, but the bottom is very rude. That's just my personal opinion. Actually, you know, I have daughters of my own, and sometimes I feel that there should be a little more courage up with these things. Look at the distance between here and there.

Oh, no, no. Don't you think so? No. You know, after all, there are others. Would you let your own daughters wear this? Well, it's problematic. If I had my constant surveillance, I'd be very happy about it. But when they get away from the bosom of the family, sometimes the temptation is sometimes a little greater. Excuse me, What are you actually looking for here?

Where are you from? South Wales. A little broader minded than they are down South? I think so. A little bit more. Would you pass them all as a beach inspector? Yes, a lot. You would? Yes. Because I reckon you better go with the times. Do you think bikini fashions have changed very much? I think they've just got sort of, uh, getting used to them, don't they? They get smaller and smaller and smaller, and after a couple of months,

I get bigger and bigger and bigger. I thought it meant we were presenting our own built winter model. It's the same morning I saw in the background of the world then. Oh my fucking god. I can't believe there's still room to be creeped out. That really, it's so fucking obviously insane, but it's also like, we are run by those old white dudes, and that is like, when they're alone, they're like, guess what, we've got this! And you're like, what the fuck? These are the old white guys still running, I mean. Yeah, who are just like, well let me measure your fabric! It's normal! Yeah, when people like Andrew Tidle like,

Mane should go back to when they were real men. That's what Mane was. Yes, yes. It's just so fucking awesome. And that, from what I can tell, these events went on for like 15 years. Shots off! Are you serious?

Yeah, they were like framed as like a convention or like a, this is what you're gonna see boys! Even though all the rules have changed so they don't need to see it. But it was just like, well let's placate the guys so they'll be better on the beach this season Oh my god. Holy fuck. Abe Laidlaw retired in 1969 and he's like like if you go through and look up his name he's like this legendary guy They say he saved about 6,000 people from drowning. Bikinis.

From bikinis. The Waverly Council approved nude sunbathing in 1979. Abelie and God died in 1992. And now, so that's a... That's your city. Don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, I mean, I mean, do you like it to finish in this way? No, I just do it on purpose. Because I felt like this was going so well. Like honestly, for the first like three or four hours of this, I was like having such a good time.

I was like, this is one of the best ones. I was like, this is the best eight part episode I've ever been involved in. But the last nine or ten hours have really been depressing. I mean, progress was bad. But it was fun when it was like, this is like a strip tease, it's the invention of the bikini, this is fun,

Bondo Beach. And now you're like, oh yeah, that guy saved 6,000 people was a terrible, everyone's terrible. Why can't you just let anyone be good? Why can't just one person, why can't a big old whale, lifesaver, bikini inspector be a nice guy? Why can't he be good? Wait is that what the Brendan Fraser movie's about? Yep. And the movie The Wild Rider. You're doing well. Yep.

Alright, should we do one and record it? I just... I just told a story, Will. That's all that happened. I just told a story. I mean, no, you told us one story and then you captured us and then you did another story. That's what happened. You tricked us.

Well, there was progress. You could... There was progress. You could, you know, you could do something. They would wear nothing. No clothes at all. Now you can wear whatever you want at Bondi Beach, right? Yes. Okay. So that's progress.

And then the Christian wowsies or whatever you guys call them are the... Wowsies, yes. That's what they call them. The wowsies. I keep coming up, but that got beaten back. Now, I can't come up with that. Yes, like, the Whalers trace, beware of the Walses. They got beat back, and in the end, like, Liberation won, right?

Because they had to go through a bunch of fucking dickheads. Okay, when you find the Laudatoid, use an awesome. Alright, that's good. We can hold that up, we can have an awesome. Good, alright. Give it up for Will Anderson! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

And we are also brought to you by Airbnb. Now look, there's actually a couple times a year when a big group of my oldest friends and I, and they are old, get together and we will rent an Airbnb and stay in it for a few days over like a holiday weekend or something like that. It just always makes the experience a lot better because, you know, we're in a home. But on the road, if I ever have the choice between a hotel or an Airbnb, I always go Airbnb just because it's better. I like a home over a hotel.

But recently, I did start thinking, well, while I'm gone, can I turn my place into an Airbnb? And the answer is yes. It can be as easy as putting your place up and then having a little more scratch generated from someone staying at my place while I'm on the road. So whether you could use a little extra money to cover some bills or for something more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how and how much at airbnb.ca slash host.
