I've hit record. Yeah, so far I've hit record. There's a cat there. There's a cat in there. And a piano as well. Your piano is well. What's that doing there? There are people with floors that are ripped up. And there are people with floors. Installed? I can't say. Possibly installed. I don't know what it's going to say. Come inside. See the laminate timber. It's my hair. It's terrible. Actually, it looks really good. All right. And then on that awesome note, let's start the intro. I don't know why. Jackson, it doesn't work if you say let's start the intro. No, it's just-- no, that's-- no, you're right. That was the wrong face. That's right. All right. Let's go with an oldie but a goodie. Oh, hello. My-- no, I'm not going to do that. Oh, I'm standing up with him. Hold on. And it's gone. We are the voices on the streets. We'll take this right off low propings. Life alone with every joke. Welcome to the average book. Happy New Year if you were listening to us in 2024. Happy New Year in two and a half hours. Yeah. And one and a half hours. One hour and 19 minutes. Considering our tradition is usually doing two and a half weeks later after New Year's. That's been after the tradition. That's right. This is a New Year's episode. Yeah. And it's actually got a new year's in like-- And it's dated. Out dated to the day before New Year's. Yeah. That's right. An hour before New Year's. How did it date an episode? Oh, I mean, this has probably happened to you. But yesterday, people were letting off fireworks. I'm like, oh, people celebrate the 30th of December, too. I did hear one firework going off yesterday. I was like, oh, maybe people-- I go, oh, people are probably prepping for New Year's. And Courtney goes, did you hear the firework? And I go, yeah, I just said, people are probably prepping for New Year's. Yeah, practicing practice run. Yeah. And we heard one about an hour ago, and the couple went off. And then we heard our helicopter and Courtney goes, oh, they're probably searching for the people at the fireworks. That just happens here. There's random fireworks just randomly in this area. And there's no battered islands or anything. It's just like, OK, it's normal that fireworks are randomly appearing. Yes. Now, I have been waiting. Oh, no. He's been waiting. So long for this. He's cracked one. Ah, yes. He's absolutely crushed. Club orange. It's fanta, but it's not fanta. Oh, god, that's disgusting. What is that? Well, it's fanta, but not fanta. So you know orange? So I saw this at Woolworths the other day. Because we haven't been shopping at Woolworths in a long time. And Courtney and I, when we went to the doctors just to get axle checked, we popped in at Woolworths. And I saw these. And I'm like, oh, in the international food area in drink sign. And I was like, oh, what's this? I don't know. And I'm like, oh, it just looks like it's just an orange juice or orange drink. And I'm like, Club, yeah, I'll buy that. And then I looked at it afterwards. And it says, orange with real bits. Oh, real bits in there, apparently. Well, let me get out of the way. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, but I actually probably was supposed to be shook first. But it's-- no, no. Hold on. Check it out. No, it's carbonated. It's carbonated. OK. But I think I understand where the real bits come from. Because I just took a swig of it, obviously. And it tastes like fanta, right? Yeah. Or sun-kissed, or any one of it. Well, actually, it kind of tastes a little bit more like seven up here, sure, or about New Zealand drink. I forget what it's called. OK. But they've put the vietamised-- no, not vietamised. They've disintegrated the bop pulp and added in as flavour. Oh. So you know what orange pulp tastes like? It's kind of, yeah. Or zest, you know, the orange zest tastes like? It's not-- yeah, it's more of a tangy kind of tangy. Yeah, it's a texture as well. It's a bit of texture. No, but it actually has like a gross taste, essentially. It's got like a real tang to it. Very strong. That's why you don't really-- That's why nobody eats the skin for oranges. Well, this has that in it by the sound of it. It sounds like they've taken the whole orange, and instead of just getting the orange juice, they've disintegrated it down to the molecular level. So you also get the actual taste of the skin as well. Skinny skin skin. So that's an interesting taste. So, dare we move on to highlights? Sure. You go first. Highlights probably been, I mean, it's a pathetic highlight, but like, uploading the YouTube episode, every video episodes to YouTube. It's been good. Oh, yeah, sorry, a couple. You're talking about your-- you're talking about your main channel, and you're supposed to do this stuff, yeah? No. Well, not really. I'm more talking about the average books, this show. I know you're very happy to see we got like a couple of views. And then you subscribe. I think you two of that was my guess. It's not just friends and family. It's strangers on the internet. Strangers on-- oh, man, all I wanted was strangers on the internet. What's-- something-- I don't know. I'm trying to think of a term, something my existence. Give your purpose. Yes, give purpose to my existence. Oh, man, all I want is strangers to give purpose to my existence. That's it. Yeah, I'm dare we not be enough at-- we're not the point where we're getting people texting and saying, I can't believe you said this on episode 52 about this. I don't listen to that guy. He's a racist. Yeah, he said it only comes in white. So I watch a couple ages go. I started watching those asthma-gold videos. And it's quite funny because the guy makes like a half an hour video where he basically just reacts to some other person's video. So yeah, basically, it's content. Basically, but he always puts the-- if you don't want the contact here, you can-- we're happy to get rid of it. We'll talk to my editors. We can remove your content. So if one of these people actually said, can you remove your content from my content from your video, then most of his video would be gone. Yeah, his channel wouldn't exist. Like, he just get them to delete the video. But what I find funny is I watch a couple of the clips because they're 30-minute videos. And I listen to about 10 minutes and then get bored and move on. Because it's one of those things where you can only listen to someone pause a video and say the exact same thing the other person has said, except longer. Yeah. Or disagree with them and then spend five minutes explaining why they disagree with that one sentence or that one thing. Yeah, I can't get-- But the clips they do are quite short and amusing. Yeah, I can't get it as a McGoldie's style is just-- I don't know. He looks like he's tried something else in his past time and it just failed. He's got that face that looks punchable. No, he just looks like an incel. Yeah, basically. But it sounds right from what I've heard. It sounds like the guy just didn't want to work. So he just started making video game content on the internet. And he's one of those people where it worked for him. And then it wasn't in front of his setup versus rubbish. Yeah, there's a jug going around like that. And all the people say, he's like, I don't smell it. Everyone's like, he smells like dust. Yeah, we can watch him through the stream. He smells like crap. But I've added him using-- because I haven't had the guy say anything particularly-- the only thing I could hear that he said that people could say is racist is the recent stuff about him talking about Palestinians, essentially. Yeah, well, that was-- Which was basically him. That's the only thing-- that's the only thing I can come across that would sound racist. And I think that's more of a cultural issue with him. And it's also because he deleted-- not his main channel, but he deleted a second channel that he had that some of his-- I think YouTube did or something. But-- Let's twitch. People always talk about how he'll release a video and people who-- people we act-- you know how people on the internet react to other people on the internet. So because someone will share a video of him or-- that's right. A guy shared a photo of himself playing a video game, playing Fallout New Vegas, but in Fallout 4 format. Like someone remade Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. And they were in the hospital or something because they got injured. And he said, doing my two most-- doing two fun things, watching Asmagold and playing Fallout 4 because-- and all of the comments were basically people who were pro Asmagold and people who were against him. And the amount of people that said he was a racist. And it sounds like the guy doesn't-- well, maybe he's a racist-- I don't think he's a racist. That's a thing. The amount of people that say he's a racist but don't really give examples. And even he's kind of like, I don't remember what I said that's racist. If he's from Texas or Florida, there's a fetch that he could be. Or even Alabama. I think he is from Texas. I'm not sure, though. He kind of comes across as a Texan. But I find it funny watching people get-- apparently, people get so-- love hate about this guy that a photo of him and someone else is post. That's all they talk a bit. Oh, wait, it raises the point. Has Asmagold ever left his house? Sorry, what was that? Has he ever left his house? There is video proof of that apparently. Oh, OK. He went to the gym one time. Oh, one time. It wasn't go to the gym. It was to go see a guy called Jim. Because I see a guy called Jim. But yeah, anyway, I just find it weird how people can just get that matter of someone who they've never met. But anyway, that's my take on that. Yeah. Oh, and the other highlight, I guess, was you guys having us for Christmas? Ah, yes. Was that your highlight? Was it? I did enjoy something. That reminds me. Did you take a shirt from us or something? No, why would I-- We were trying to figure out, like, we're sitting there looking at the gifts, and we actually can't-- I'm like, this person gave us this. This is person gave us that. And Courtney says, I think we opened one that was meant to be for Jaden or something. Because it was like-- I don't know. Because we got given two-year-old clothes-- no, clothes for a two-year-old. Oh. But we also got clothes for a three to six-month-year-old or three to-- and like, axles already out of that stuff. So we got given these clothes. And we were counting. I'm like, well, this person gave us that. And I was like, I'm pretty sure Colin and Dalsy gave us this. So unless Rowan had only gave us the small-- the small-- two small equipment stuff. Like, it felt like we were missing something. Mm, yeah. Something just wasn't a part of it. Yeah, I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I forgot. You didn't count. I didn't forgot everything that they got given. I forgot the gifts. Well, we got that stupid ball toy, which ball goes down ramp, goes round, round, round. Oh, and I learned this. I was listening to an article. We're not listening to an article. I found an article about it. I've gotten very little-- I got-- I woke up early this morning and went to bed late. So I was struggling to park in the supermarket today. I was like, I almost went over the pedestrian crossing while there were people crossing it. They had to stop and wait for me to see what I was doing there. Troy, that's bad. Yes. But I didn't hit anyone. That's good. Oh, I didn't realize that that was from a Simpsons episode. Yeah, and not just any Simpsons episode. It was a Halloween episode. That's good. But it was only in the white episode. That's bad. But it's-- but Halloween episodes are-- Bad. I don't know. No, they're good. I never got into Halloween episodes, anyway. Really, they're my favorite. They are my favorite Sims. I look forward to them, but they've slowly gotten worse and worse. Yeah, that's probably why I didn't like it because I got bad. Anyway, what was I saying? You're most random people are pedestrian crossing. No, no, before that. You're top. You're top. Oh, the children's gifts. Oh, that's-- no, no, that's right, the gifts. So I've read an article, right, where people would say, talking about, why not-- because it's Google recommends or whatever. I clicked on one article, and it goes, Australians could lose a billion dollars because of gifts, these gifts. Stop. Right? And I clicked on it, and it's article about how, like, Australians lose one billion dollars, basically, buying unwanted gifts. Right? OK. And then I exited the article, and I was still on the Google thing. And because it had searched that key phrase, there was another article by another website that went, Australians could make one billion in gifts. And I clicked on it, and it was basically the same article, but in reverse, it was talking about how you could-- Australians can sell their unwanted gifts. Oh, man. It's really good. But finally, after Christmas, a lot of sales on eBay go up, because people get given these gifts. Yeah, they didn't want them. And then they just sell them on eBay. I mean, we got rid of an old cop today, so that wasn't-- but that wasn't a gift. That was just a thing that we didn't need to use anymore. But did you sell it or just get rid of it? Yeah, rid of it. Well, someone picked it up for free, so-- Well, that's not really selling in there. But at least it's being reused. That's not even a wig in the weenow. That's good that someone picked it up. Yeah. But they didn't pay for it. That's bad. [LAUGHTER] You can see where this episode's going. But that's good. It's going to be a pretty average. That's bad. I mean, it's the name of the show. No, no, I was going to say it's going to get old. That's bad. [LAUGHTER] It's nearly a new year. That's good. That's good. This episode is stated. No, no, you see. But it will be the end of this year. That's bad. [LAUGHTER] I will hopefully remember to upload it. That's good. It'll be the end of the year, but I don't-- [LAUGHTER] That's bad. [LAUGHTER] Oh, goodness me. For those who don't know that reference, search the free frogger thing from Simpson's Halloween episode. That is the reference. Yes. I can't-- I was watching-- I don't know what it was. It was a clip. It was just a Simpson's clip. And that came up with it. That's good. And I'm like, oh, that's what Jackson got. Yes. And then obviously after watching, I'm like, yeah, I remember that one. Pass, you get a free topping. The topping is also a poisonous. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, this is the thing like the-- I don't know if it's just a man thing, but like you just-- there'll be something that happens when you're younger and it sticks in your brain. And then for some reason, you'll just bring it up again, man, from the time of time. That's bad. Yes. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, for me, it's South Park and all that. Yeah, yeah, I see it. It's a few different South Park things. Like, why won't it read? And you agreed to this. We had your signature. You agreed. Oh, this is amazing. It does everything. I can send emails, texts, and shits and calls, mouth. OK. Yes, let me test your tears, Scott. Yes. Yummy, yummy. The tears are on questionable sadness. [LAUGHTER] Hey, what do you have any highlights recently from the past two or three weeks? Yeah, yeah, today, Christian came over and helped me finish doing the laminate tinder in that room. Yeah. And we got-- and helped me get into the hallway, which, originally, the plan was for me to do that room first. And then he comes over and helps me with the hallway or explains me how to do the hallway. Yeah. And I think he had a different plan, because he said to me yesterday, focusing on leveling the hallway. And then we can start that. And he goes, we can always just smash out the room. And then I can show you how to do the hallway, which is basically what we ended up doing. And it's a good thing, too, because it would have been a real pain for me to do it on my own, because I wouldn't have known to buy and use a pool bar. I would have probably just used a hammer and a bit of wood to try and hit it in. And I probably would have broken a few more boards than planned. Because Christian brought his pool bar, it was a lot easier, because long story short, we were meant to lay the boards going this way, like left to right. But because of how it would end up at the back door with a tiny little off-cut, he told me to start going right to left. But that means I had to run the boards in the opposite direction. And to do that means I had to run the boards underneath the metal trim that I'd installed. Instead of starting the boards in the metal trim, which would have been easy, and then putting them down and then cutting them at the end, I had to start them at the end and work my way back. Gotcha. So without a pool bar, I would have made it a lot harder. Plus, I got to see Christian show me how to use the pool bar and let me use the-- well, not let me use. He's left it here for me to use. But how he uses it so it doesn't wreck the boards. Fair enough. The important thing is that living room has now got limited timber in it. The carpet is in the garage. And next, I'll be pulling up that room, leveling it, and then doing the hallway. OK. And if I've got enough boards, which I should, I'll be doing the other bedroom. No, good stuff. Yes. I've had just a couple of fireworks coffee outside. Well, not directly outside, but nearby. How did you even hear them? Well, I've got e-pods in so I can hear anything. Is that why you were not wearing your headphones? You want to hear the fireworks? You know it. Where are your headphones? Right there. Well, if you could just put your-- what's this Jackson here? I'll even show you. Sorry, look at me. You do this. Yeah, there you go. You step out of frame. Even just reach out of frame. Pull the monitor. That's it. There you go. Now, if you could just pull out-- that just looks-- that just looks-- Jackson, why don't you buy a pair of wireless headphones? What do you mean? These aren't wireless. What's the code for? Take a look. I say it's wireless, but it's just not plugged in. And are they actually-- are they actually wired? Yeah, they're wired. Because it just looks like they're wearing them because of the earbuds. Yeah, and I use these for when I'm bathing my kids, because when they're in the bath together, they like to screw and splash and make it down noises. I use them for your kids. I use them over my ears so I don't get deaf. Why? How loud are your kids in the bath? Ah, no, stop, don't let me-- no, little-- Daddy, help, Jacob. Where's the money on the basket? You're going to give me my money on the necklace somewhere. [LAUGHING] Where's the-- hey. Play the clip. OK, wow, play the clip even. I don't have it. I actually wouldn't-- No, no, no, no. I was just told in my editing self, because I probably won't do that. No, I don't do that. I'll find it. No, I won't. It's fine. I'll find it. Is there anything else you want to talk about before I actually talk about what I want to talk about, even though it's not really massively important or anything? No, no, not really. No. Don't-- don't-- don't-- don't-- don't-- don't-- good. Don't-- good. Thanks for asking. Don't-- don't-- good. I haven't cut up the distractible way, so it's been-- I haven't listened to it in weeks. Yeah. It's like, I've been busy doing important stuff. Yeah, I haven't watched "Hascal DX." "Hascal DXD" for a while, either. Oh, that's-- I've started-- I've started-- I've started the second season, because that's about it. I say, well, if you-- so both those characters are from it. Oh, I've-- so the-- OK, I don't recognize-- The cat is one. She doesn't actually have cat ears. It's the short girl. The really short girl who punches stuff. Oh, OK. Well, no, she keeps calling the guy that a pervert or something. Yeah, they all call him that. Yeah, but she-- OK, whatever. OK, I think I know-- I think I know you're talking about, yeah. So what I did was I've opened up our good friend, and everyone else's good friend, Jat-- Jat, Jat Chat, GPT. And I asked it to give us a summarize of 2024 in Australia, but in a comical sense. So, January 2024. Australia Day, the usual fireworks and barbecues were overshadowed by debates over what Australia Day really means. Some were calling for a more reflective celebration, while others were trying to get through the day without accidentally setting fire to the backyard lawn. [LAUGHS] Yeah. Some people have too much time on their hands. Me being one of them. They've just run out of things to talk about, really. Um, yes. Now, this is not really a big deal to Melbourne, because it wasn't that hot here this year. But January had Australia turning to a giant oven. Even for the community, we still felt it. Yeah, it wasn't too high where we live. We had two days, literally two days so far. Maybe it'll get worse. I didn't even bring out the pool, because I'm like, what's the point if it's only one-- like, they weren't even two days in a row, though. Two days, two separate weeks. I'm like, that's fine. I can handle that. Mm. February, cyclone warnings were issued, and everyone prepared as if it was the end of the days. By buying way too much canned spaghetti. Meanwhile, the true munchy was the shortage of avocado toast. [LAUGHS] My goodness. Also in February, cricket. The Australian cricket team, as usual, entertained the masses with its classic mix of skill and questionable sledging. At some point, the sport became less about winning and more about who could deliver the best one liner to the opponent's face. OK, so this is chat GPT. Yes. So you said it to summarise Australia this year. Yeah, in a comical way. In a comical way. I'm like, you know, why are we just here? Well, let me go to ABC News and-- [INTERPOSING VOICES] And I'll just find-- let me find an article. This is going to be about us reading out our articles. News.com. I'm just going to search News. No, that's a term website. - Footies and big ins. - News.com. Stars door in hospital after withdrawals. Daughter of Blink-182 driver, taking a hospital if I'd not nicotine-- nicotine withdrawal. What? It was a bit of daughter, Abilham Baker, a recent hospital I was up, circling from nicotine withdrawal. How much nicotine did this chick have? Oh, the outlet reported that a panic Alabama, who quit vaping a month ago, was alone and feeling unwell when she made the emergency call. Can I speak with you a few minutes? I'm going to go through a much quicker case. So 40 season beginnings. Ozzie's rejoiced as 40 season kicked off. For the uninitiated, 40 means everything and nothing says I'm Australian, like screaming at the TV during a game you might actually understand. And then the other point of March was get a mate. The phrase was officially declared the second most overused phrase in Australia. Just behind, can you pass me the veggie mic? Really? Because that's-- I think that's maybe full of crap, because I don't hear anyone say that in Melbourne anymore. Well, good day, mate. We've had this discussion. We've been put discussion. Nobody is-- wait, it said it overused phrase. Yeah, overused phrase. It's not used that much in Melbourne, around here. Nobody skips the good day, part. Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's funny. Girl, chat JPT. It's like it went on the internet and looked up and watched a couple of those YouTube videos written by Americans or someone else about Australia. Australia has the worst beaches, apparently. Did you know that? And everything, they're all kill you. Everything, especially the people. April, Eastern on weekend, a lot of people spent time arguing if you should have fruit, no cross bums, or without fruit. Oh, that's-- oh, my goodness, so that just reminded me. There was an article about how people-- it's these news articles are just getting a bit ridiculous. Shop is like-- not shock, but shock is shocked and angry about item released on chap-obs and Aldi. And it's like popping a sharpen. It's not right. It's just-- they shouldn't be doing it around Christmas. It was hot cross bums. Bad hot cross bums and Aldi or something. Yeah, they started-- people like this, it's not Easter. It's hot cross bums, it's Easter. You shouldn't have hot cross bums in the middle of Christmas. Last Thursday-- oh, OK, sorry, let me tell you again. Last Thursday, I went into calls. It was a day after Christmas. And that was-- they already started selling hot cross bums. That's what I mean, see? Look at that. That's what I mean. A disgruntled shopper shocked us. Yeah, it's a bit concerned. It's a horrible display, I'm sitting there going, it's a supermarket, and who doesn't like hot cross bums? Don't be with the shocked at the supposable journals that work. They're just-- they're just baked goods, all right? It'd be stupid to have a baked good that everybody likes, especially Courtney, for example. She loves hot cross bums. It'd be stupid to have a baked good that everybody likes year-round and go, you know what? We shouldn't have that during Christmas, because-- It's a stupid-- You know, it's an Easter thing. [LAUGHTER] Yeah. Well, I could go on this tangent. There's the-- you remember how the lint, they had the bunnies. In their special chocolate aisle, they had lint koalas for Christmas. Because, you know-- Because, of course, it makes perfect sense. They're Christmas koalas. Correct? Well, because you know, everyone's heard of Christmas koalas. I should just have Christmas trees. Chocolate Christmas trees. Maybe, yeah. Floods. Sorry, gone. You were using that? I was going to say, it's too bad I can only buy favorites from the supermarket during Christmas and not all year round. But you can't actually buy them all year round. What would be-- So, like, the Cadbury favorites. What would they be called an Aldi? Oh, but-- Cadbury likeables. No, they wouldn't be Cadbury at all, first of all. No, they wouldn't call favorites. No, no, no, they'd be called fantastics. Or likeables. No, they'd-- I guarantee-- yeah, likeables works. But I guarantee you'd be fantastics. And they'd have a very similar-- very similar yellow and blue packaging. Yeah, packaging. And instead of it being angled down-- It'd be angled. It'd be angled up. And they'd be-- so they wouldn't be in a purple box. They'd be in, like, a blue box. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could say that. And they'd be full of-- because I've already seen-- I've already seen Aldi-- Aldi Link Balls. Oh, OK. And they're not-- like, they're Montseroth Balls. Montseroth, OK. That's the brand. It's called Montseroth. Yeah, shout it out. It's M-- sorry, it's R-M. No. Yeah, M-- sorry, it's M-R-O-T-H-E-R. You know what? M-R-O-T-H-R-O-T-H. You know what, just because-- Moneroth. Moneroth. Oh, Moneroth, OK. Moneroth, maybe-- I don't know why I was saying Mont. So I was trying to be French. Let's just say that-- They've got Moneroth Balls. Thanks to podcasting technology. Let me tell you, Moneroth Balls. Let me just say, it takes the technology, Apple Podcast, and other podcast services have automatic annotations. So whatever you said, they will spell it out for you. Oh, man, I'll tell you what. Sorry, I'm really you, Cheer. I've got Moneroth Balls. I hate it. This is the second time today, I've got Moneroth Balls. You don't want to catch Moneroth Balls. It's a life disease. Don't get them confused with Pokemon Balls. It's a permanent disease. Sorry, Moneroth, I'll tell you one more time. Moneroth Balls are unsationable. So now, I kind of think of Moneroth and Sephiroth. Sephiroth Balls. Sephiroth Balls. Dude, dude, dude. Moneroth Balls. I can't do it in the Sephiroth. One winged Angel. No, two bald Moneroth. I was going to keep going, but I noticed I was going to start heading into Star Wars territory. Oh, yeah, completely not. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. So apparently in April, there were floods somewhere, and people weren't too worried. Instead, they were taking an opportunity to fly around in inflatable pool toys while stepping on a cold one. I would love to see a video of a town in Queensland flooded. And you just see all the residents just floating around on like floating. They got to go to the local shop, so they got to get something. What's that? You want some milk? Let me just float down behind. Let me just head on down and yuck. Stroke. What's stroke? Stroke. Let me find something. Let me find something buoyant. And oh, my goodness, Mike. That's weird. My crime cast just turned on. Good for them. I thought it was off. It's always listening. In May, apparently an Australian company used an AI chat bot to only speak in Australian slang. Users found themselves getting advice like, don't worry, mate, it should be right. And you turn. You're off track. [LAUGHS] I was-- all right, so I watched a video that was basically titled Welcome to Melbourne, right? Yes. And it was a person-- it was a recording of a person on a tray. And I won't say anything. But he was speaking very bogan and using a lot of swear words. OK, that's not who I'm. OK. Yeah. Yeah, no, he was just old about it. Yeah, we had the ebb and bone out of my word. All right, he's having a go at the gun, then he walks off and all that. And it's basically like-- And I was like, I looked at the comments and some person said, no, he's the ticket-- He's the ticket inspector. He's the ticket inspector. And in my head, I even left a comment. I'm like, I wish someone would ask to see my ticket like that. I wish someone-- Hey, OK, how you going? It's good that-- right now, you're taking it? You're going to take it to the human. You want to show me the ticket real quick? No, I'm not. Fuck. Yeah, they didn't ask like they used to anymore. Show me a fucking ticket. [LAUGHS] Ah, you're on my-- I'm just pointing at you. You don't have a good day. You're a good day. You're a bludger. You may have asked about it, all right? Yeah. I'll leave this on. Apparently, also, in May, was a great koala crisis. The government announced a new initiative to save koalas. The response from the public was, wait. They're still around, followed by mass koala memes to raise awareness. Mass koala memes to raise. Clamydia. So, ah, my-- I'll say one thing, other thing. My other highlight of the week is, obviously, saw the photos. I sent you of the baby bird. See? Yeah. So found the baby bird. Found that baby bird. I created a little nest for him up in the tree, because that's what the wildlife preserve people told me to do. What I didn't realize was, I think it may have been like one of those Indian miners. Mine birds. Yes. So I had to send him back overseas. I thought you said it's I sent him to the mines, but, yeah, OK, that works, too. Yeah, no, he was a little too young to be here. And I don't even know how he got here from, like, yeah, so. I think that's-- and he's a major. Then he's-- then he can come back. But yeah, we don't want any Indian miners here. No, but I think it was one-- I realized after fact, because the wildlife person said, or is it an Indian miner or a miner or any of those sort of birds that are, like, not indigenous? And I go, I don't think so. I think it's indigenous. And then I looked closer at it, and I was like, maybe it is a miner, but I already created the nest for it. And it died in the nest. Oh, great. Yes, it spent the next two, three days sitting there, and then it died. I went to check on it earlier today, and, yeah, it was not moving. Yeah, OK, cocked up. He was still-- he was still like-- he wasn't-- he had only died like a couple of hours ago, because he was still moving back and forth. But the bird was definitely dead, which is unfortunate. But when I looked it up, I went, hm, this might have actually been a miner. Oh, yes, he probably-- So I had to call the fleece off me. [LAUGHTER] All the points. No, I think it was actually an Indian miner. Yeah, bird. We must iterate bird. Yeah, yeah, bird, bird. It's a type of bird, I just realized. Either that or it was a native miner. Well, Troy, because the other thing-- In which case, I said him back to my-- Troy, the problem with this, as well, is that there's also a bird called the black miner bird. That's interesting. Well, I mean, no, I mean, and what's wrong with that? Nothing. I'm just saying it's going to be-- OK, what did you say? So what did you say? There's Indian miner bird, and there's a black miner bird. Yeah, and-- I'm just saying, I'm glad you found an Indian miner bird. There's also native miner bird. Yeah, supposedly. I think-- oh, no, they're called common miner birds. I don't know. The miner, who cares? Anyway, yeah, just add a sad thing to port. The port bird was dead, and I was talking to someone earlier, and I said, maybe I should have just brought it inside. And they go, well, yeah, but if you'd brought it inside and it died inside, then you would have thought, oh, you've done the wrong thing by not leaving it out in nature and creating an S for it. So I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. Next time, I'll try bringing it inside. And also, maybe try feeding it. I don't know if you had any food for it or not, but-- Well, the other birds were supposed to feed it. It's a monocleability. No, it had fallen out of the nest, right? It's not my mind. And basically, what they told me to do is to set up a nest for it, and set up a nest for it, and the other bird-- don't worry, the other birds will feed it in its new little nest. Just check on it over the next five days, right? And I did. I checked on it, and it seemed fine. It was just kind of-- yesterday, it was tucked in in itself, and it was fine. And that was after it had rained two days earlier. And then when I checked on this morning, it would have died. So that's which is-- yeah, it's just unfortunate. It's just a minor that cares. But to be fair, if I reckon if I hadn't have seen it sitting at the side there, it would have just hopped onto the road and got hit by a car. It was that close. Yeah. Right, back to this weird summary. So June 24, winter hits, Sydney gets below 18 degrees, and apparently there's an increase in sharks. Mm. July, snow in the Alps. And-- I mean, that's normal, obviously, just snow. Oh, a tea campaign promoting the outback is a perfect holiday escape. So influences posing with quieters while riding kangaroos. Something by law is both illegal and physically impossible. I see. Those are generated images are getting out of control. I don't know if it's on here, but I think about that same time. I think we talked about this before, but Mildur rebranded itself as the great tropical northern Victoria. So maybe they got that mixed up. I did not know that. I don't know. No, so Mildur, it's not tropical. It's just got a few palm trees that makes it look like it's tropical. But it's just because it's on the river. Yeah, it's not like it's Mildur. It's not like it's canes. It's just not. Sorry, it's not like it's Mildur. Do you well? One clap is all you deserve. Why? Fine, another one. Sorry, so I meant to say Mildur, I need to take my headphones off to hear myself, because-- I'm trying not to say Mildur. Mildur. But I'm trying to say Mildur. Mildur, you are. It's hard, I can't say. You with-- Troy. What? Volkswagen. Is it pronounced the same way? I mean, I know that. I mean, like, morning-- Innovative. Innovative. Innovative. I can't say morning due. Inevilid. Dan, can you say it, please? Morning due. But it's not morning due. It's like morning due due. See, you know what I mean? Yeah, but that's-- you're saying due as if you're an American. Yeah, isn't it-- isn't that how it's pronounced? British-- we share the same English as British English, so it's-- we say due. So do they say it the same way you'd say, like, the word for a Jewish as in a person? A Jew as in a person. Yes, correct. So it's pronounced the same way? Yes. OK, good, because I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like-- The good old morning due due. The only thing we might say that, like, because Mountain Dew, we actually-- it's called Mountain Dew, so we just always say Mountain Dew, even though the word do is like-- I've always called it-- I've always tried to call it Mountain Dew. I've always called it Mountain Dew. You've always called it Mountain Dew? Yeah, even because it's an American brand. It's Mountain Dew. It's Mountain Dew, though. Yeah, I don't really care. It's just one example. Fair enough. You're from South Australia. Because when it comes to DU-- it's always pronounced as a J. OK, but it's D-E-W. Yeah, I don't know. And it's spelt the same, yeah. Du, warning due due. Because the Americans say with a hard D. I mean, I don't take that. It's not innuendo, but I have a second meaning. It's just-- that's what they say. It's a hard D. Where is it? Where-- I can't find it. Damn it. That's really unfortunate. August, Bunnings, again, with the sausage sizzles. People were obsessed with them. Hamish and Andy had a little phone thing on their podcast where they were looking for the most ridiculous thing someone had ordered from a Bunnings sausage sizzle. And someone went to a Bunnings sizzle and just asked for onion. Oh, yeah. That was some sort of dumb thing. I am shattered. Don't I have this saved somewhere? OK, this is-- I'm trying to find the sexy sound. OK, this is a straight up line. In August, apparently, Australian cricket team got a new mascot in a flatable, kangaroo-wearing sunglasses, which surprisingly performed better than some of the batsmen, which I think that's-- I don't think that's true. 2024, September, pubs re-opened, post-lockdown. Ah, I found it. That's so frustrating, because there's not some idiot's spelt. They uploaded it as rules. It's that sound. A hard D. I've got to move that. Yeah, what the fuck is it? That's a shame. I think just to be drunk. Because, eventually, my 2.0 launched a new flavor. Can I edit this? I want to edit this. But, yes, I can edit it. Actually, my 2.0 was released years ago. Ah, I can edit this thing. I'm going to change it. Do it. October, 2024, it was an Aussie-style Halloween thingy, where the Sydney Harbour Bridge apparently turned into a thing where I had cursed quiles and a terrifying version of Bondi Beach with extra seagulls. OK, that's not a thing. Apparently, there was a viral video of a surfing kangaroo in Queensland. A surfing kangaroo. Yes. A metal cup with the old people trying to show as much skin as possible. What? Barbecue season. As temperatures saw it, it was barbecue season officially. And by barbecue, we mean more slugs, more snags. And, absolutely, nobody had a quicker stay crackling. [LAUGHS] Yeah, so, yeah, no, not really that much to say. Oh, really? So, in summary, 2024, in Australia, was a wild barbecue, full of barbecues, beach days, and the healthy amount of Aussie humor. And, when in doubt, just remember, no one's really short if a flat wire is a coffee or a description of how things went down at it at your last backyard party. Good job, Chappelle. You're trying to be funny. I'm just glad I was over there with that sound. Oh, what the heck? It didn't save it. And you failed. And he's gone. A retype sexy sound and not hit this my quartz dangling here. You won't. There we go. There we go. Sexy sound. Now, I can always find the sexy sound. [MUSIC PLAYING] I don't know. Troy's new heart and finding that sexy sound. Yep, that's right. Now, my new thing. Chat, GPT, yeah. Wait, why am I even doing that? You're gonna have to try and line it up. It's easy. No, it's easy. I mean, I record you two now. That's right, you do. Because I'm like, Troy keeps knocking his microphone over. I'm then recording. Yeah, that's right. Use the crappy volume on your whole thing. I mean, it's not-- Instead of my-- It's my crystal clean clear. I just need to buy a new cord, a new cable. A cable. I reckon. Because that's a bit that's bent. Hopefully, the actual inside mechanism of the actual-- The actual-- Mike is not bent, but we'll see. Anyway, what I was trying to say before was screw chat GPT. I have Gemini, which is basically almost the same thing. Yeah, exactly. Gemini. Gemini, tell me a joke. I bet I'm using a joke about a thing, about a joke. Did you hear that one, Jackson? No, I didn't hear it. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they're always up in atom. Because they make up everything. Oh, that's so-- yeah, I mean, that should know that. One-on-one, that terrible, bad jokes. What's that? Yeah, don't-- you know what the Gemini tells us? Only I tell the dead jokes. Their eye is taking over all our dead jokes. Come up with a dead joke about an electrician. What? Hey, Jackson, why don't electricians like camping? Don't know. Because they're afraid of getting grounded. I thought it was going to do with getting their stings mixed up, but sure. Tell me another joke about electricians. They're shockingly. What do you call an electrician who fixes clocks, Jackson? I don't know. A shock tactician. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't think there's a joke there at all, to be honest. All right, fair enough. Hold on. Tell me a joke about honey. It's a scam. It's a scam. That was wild, though, like-- I mean, we don't want to beat that thing to death. So the joke it gave me right was the scientist joke again. But then it said, reply, it finished with, I hope you enjoyed that joke, that honey of a joke. OK. That's terrible. I just remember what we're going to talk about, while not heaps or battle. What are you going to talk about? No, you want to talk about all mate, Jake, pick it. Ah, that-- yeah, no, I don't really want to talk about that guy. Cool. Well, maybe I will. It's just-- it's kind of almost feels like punching down to talk about some guy who's been making a-- like, working on his YouTube channel. Because I looked into it a little bit. Or the guy-- actually, no, I didn't look into it. I watched one video. And the guy basically bleeds out his whole 18 years of life in almost every video, like, he gives all this information. Makes his life sound like he suffered quite a bit. Just because of like, standard things that happens in a lot of people's lives. And don't go wrong, some of the stuff, it's like, yeah, that is sad, but that happened to you. But it would, like, in the grand scheme of things, you're making it sound worse. And it's-- yeah, it feels like punching down on some bloke who's just become an adult. And he's been working on-- because the guy has been working on his YouTube channel for years. And it's all my-- it's good-- like, it's one of those things where-- he's probably happy to see that he's got a-- he's got over learning subscribers now. He's probably happy to see he's got like a bunch of subscribers and all this other stuff. What irritates me is the way he's gone about getting these subscribers, which basically turns into masturbation bad. That's what his whole thing is. His whole-- this whole thing is-- and I don't know what's wrong with people between the ages of 25 and fucking-- whatever, I'm just going to say Jen's there, because I'm not technically Jen-- actually, between 29 and 12 or whatever the gap is there, because of-- because fortunately, I'm technically in a millennial, which is fantastic. I'd rather be in a millennial than 10,000 in that regard. But I don't know what is wrong with them, because I assume it's all-- because it's meant to be targeted towards younger people. And I can't believe I'm saying younger people who would have thought I'd be the old man, but hey, I'm 30. Congrats. I'm sitting there going, what is wrong with these people? They're like, yeah, I've been masturbating since I was 12, and it's been horrible. It's been like, I started when I was 12, and I'm addicted to life, and it's fucked up my whole life. It's kind of-- Thank you for-- thank you for-- thank you, Jake, for posting this video about how you used to wank off all the time, but now you don't. It's really inspiring. They feel like bots. The amount of people that have put the fucking date, like, oh, January, December-- this date, December something, you know, stay-- what's the word I'm looking for here? No, no, nothing, stay in that way. No, not November. No, no, I mean, these people are putting the date-- they're putting the date that posted this comment, and they're saying, this is what I'm going to stop masturbating, and I'm not going to start again. It's funny, I'm just-- It's like listening to a cigarette act or something, a nicotine addict. It's like fatherless/motherless behavior, like, you're just not being braised well at all. I mean, the other element I want to touch on though is Mark applied-- Hey, I actually found-- I actually found an orange bit. No way! Yeah. It actually comes with little bits. Mark applied one bit. Someone recorded a screen recorder, and Mark applied, doing a members-only stream, where he talked about the Honey Scam, and then he talked about-- Is that what that was? Is that why you sent that video to me? Because I'm like 20 minutes, I'm not watching that. Yeah, so he talked about-- most people had the Honey Scam and why he thought he was on paper. Yeah. But then he spoke about-- But then he spoke about Reddit, how Reddit's, like, 90% of the stuff that's on Reddit is made up. Because he thinks, "Who's seriously going on to Reddit and asking, 'Am I the airhole?' And about this scenario that's happened." And like, the scenario is explaining the people that are involved, aka, like, the male and female, their ages, and for some reason, including their height. Like, who does that? There's no need to do that. I don't know. Like, I occasionally use Reddit for certain things, but it's more like to check to see if something's a scam, or something like-- Yeah. If I want to know if something's a scam, I'll look at what people have asked on Reddit, for example, or people who have posted on Reddit saying, "I had this experience with this person, this group, or this thing," and you don't necessarily have to believe that, but it's one of those things where people have actual discussions and other people disagree on things. Like, there's a guy who talks about-- there's a YouTuber called Myopia, or whatever it's called, The Myopia, and he basically explains that if you've got shortsightedness, you can get rid of it yourself. You've just got to retrain your eyes. You've just got to-- you know, they're like muscles, he says. Yes, correct. And half of the shitty-- half of the shitty says makes comments. It makes kind of sense. You're like, "Oh, yeah, that makes sense, yeah, your eyes are muscle, your eyes not entirely a muscle," in regards to that, but I'm not-- and, you know, all the eye doctors are wrong. Like, they're-- basically, they just want to make money off you, so why would they actually want to fix your eyes? Do this stuff instead. But he says-- but he says-- he had to turn around and say, "Do it at your own risk." And if you don't do it properly, like, he makes it clear to people, you know, don't push too quickly. This is going to take years to fix your eyes. And then I had to look at it. I'm like, is this going to reel it for real, like, let's search some information. And obviously, with this kind of YouTube thing, you're not going to find like news articles or anything. There's occasional people who say they're-- essentially, optometrist who say what he's teaching is dangerous or bad, essentially, he could hurt people. But I looked on Reddit and there were a bunch of people talking about how they tried doing this thing and it worked for them, but then there were a bunch of other people who said they tried doing his eye exercise things and it fucked their eyes up even more. So it's-- but it sounds like-- it really does sound like a do-it-it-you-er risk sort of thing. But that's what I usually use Reddit for. Yeah. In regards to that. Because I was going to make the comment saying, like, half the stuff that's on Reddit, I feel like, not even real. And then, like, that's the same thing with this guy, the Jake Piggett, whatever. Like, half the stuff he's posting, I don't think he's entirely true. I don't-- look, so from what-- because I actually watched a couple of these guys' videos, because I'm like, what-- like, what is this-- what is this-- basically-- what is this kid talking about? What happened? Like, as far as I'm concerned, you just turned 18 this year. You're basically a kid to me. Yeah. And-- and this-- the shit-- like, he's not saying anything wrong, but it's like-- it's like a guy who's-- oh, you know, if you want to be successful, if you want to get girls, you know, like-- and the stuff is-- And the-- Who's a mini-angitate? Well, it's not that. Well, no. It's-- it's the-- it's the opposite. It's common sense stuff, like, he's talking about how-- like, in one-- he talks about how-- like, if you're ready for a relationship. And he says stuff like, you know, if you're dating them because you want something, you know, you're not ready. And you have to be happy with yourself before you-- you're happy with like-- and I'm thinking to myself, what the fact that's not how relationships work made, like, you just meet people and talk to them. Yeah. And if you like someone, you talk to them more, or you try to get their attention more. There is no-- like, there's no-- you don't-- you don't need to fucking-- like, focus your entire life on what you're doing, and then-- like, and then if they're-- essentially, like, one thing he says is, oh, if the person-- if what you're doing, but if-- if what they're doing benefits you, like-- or if-- if it helps, like, if they're not against you, but-- I'm trying to remember, this was a video I listened to ages ago, but the advice was basically right, if they're bringing you down, then you shouldn't be with them, like, if they're not-- if they're not on the same mindset as you, then they're-- and I'm sitting there going, most-- most men and women, like, most men kind of focus on their own thing, but also women kind of want attention too, so you can't-- Yes. I have best of both worlds. Yeah. So a lot of the stuff he's saying, it makes sense in the sense that, you know, like, be happy with yourself before you-- before you get in a relationship, you know, and don't get in a relationship because just because you want sex is essentially what he says. I mean, that's-- I mean, well, well, fucking three months earlier, this guy's posting a video about why you should be a virgin, or why-- why-- Oh, no. I got to look at-- I got to look at the title of this freaking one video. So he's trying to dick himself, which is kind of funny. He didn't contradict himself, it's just the-- the stuff that he's saying is-- it sounds like he's trying-- he's trying to sound what's the word I'm looking for, like-- He's off-- he's going off-script, like, he's just making it up as he goes along. He's trying to sound philosophical, or trying to sound like-- like, wise? Yeah. Right? And all these other pe-- all these-- all these younger people, and all these kids, and all these probably even 25-year-olds are probably, like, that age group younger, eating up this-- eating up this guy's shit because he's just saying what someone with more experience wouldn't say. Yeah. But he's their age, or he's younger. Yeah. Do you think you said about the ship of the Theses? Ugh. Oh, my goodness. It's probably what's-- like-- like, I fell with-- the title-- I fell with-- the title-- I fell into addiction-- addiction again. My honest experience after not busting enough for 90 days. What the fuck? Thirteen things I would have paid 13,000 to know at 13 years ago. It's going to be the one to term, like, you know, when you're a kid-- when you're a kid to, like, 12 years old, that's all you heard, Tom. Yeah, I wonder what-- I wonder what-- I wonder what-- I wonder what-- like, life stuff 13-year-old me would have picked up on. You know what I mean? Like, if someone had given me, like, super-- like, the most important things in life experience, what would a 13-year-old, like, be thinking about? Could you imagine-- could you imagine being 13 right, and it's like, remember, like, start earning money now. Because then-- the sooner you start, the more you can gain interest and gain more. It's like-- It was in five. It was in five. It was back in-- I was back in Wailar, and it was in ye-- no cleave, no-- yeah, Wailar, and I was in year seven. Like I said, the video that you showed me the other day, I fapped 4x a day. What, Tom's a day, yes? Yeah, that's not even the-- it's very sneaky because that's not the title, that's just the thumb now. Yes, correct. You'll never watch porn again after hearing my story. I haven't actually-- maybe I should listen to the guy's story. It's 6.8 million people, apparently, dude. Am I porn? Apparently, 6.8 million people think they should stop looking at porn. Ugh. Ugh. Well, I mean, good only for trying, I guess. Yeah. But as I said in the-- as I said, this video that you saw, like, that was posted 10 days ago, I swear I saw the same video or one very similar to it, right? Like months earlier, like six-- like four months ago, I saw this video pop up, and I'm like, "What the heck is this?" Well, I gotta-- I gotta find this-- this-- this-- I think it's-- ah, here we go. It's-- Let's go. There we go. I've got-- No, I've got, like, one video that I've watched all the way through here. I reckon some of these videos, the popular ones, this guy deletes and re-uploads to sort of get a boost. It-- it's-- it's likely, yeah. I reckon 100%. He's probably uploaded a video, and then he's edited it in the YouTube software, and then posted it again, because he can do that. Hey, look, here's one title, "How Porn Ruined My Relationship With My Parents?" But what-- what-- the thing that worries me right-- Why would you point in terms-- The thing that worries me right is the amount of people who-- how should I put this-- empathize? Mm-hmm. With-- with what this guy's-- what this-- what this kid's saying. It really worries me about, like, what the heck-- like, what the heck did people born with the internet, like, already being as fast as it is, like, what the heck did they do? I mean, I know I found Porn when I was about 12 or something. Yeah, I was-- yeah, probably the same. But I-- I didn't obsess over it or anything. No. And I didn't really masturbate very much, like, I did a little bit. I-- I'll happily admit, I masturbate quite-- like, well, that's not true. I masturbated more when I was a teenager, but-- Yes. But not to the-- it's never been-- it's never been a thing that has, like, negatively affected my life to that degree, like-- Exactly. And don't-- I don't get wrong, I've done it a few times and I've actually felt like crap afterwards and I've said to myself, why did I bother doing that? I could have been doing something more important, but no. The whole thing reminds me of the "Family Guy" episode. Oh, um, we're talking about-- Oh, no, sorry, not "Family Guy," American dad. Oh, American dad. Have you seen? The American-- I have seen him, but I don't know the episode you're referring to, sorry. So in this American dad episode, he's telling off Steve about-- like, Stan's telling Steve why he shouldn't masturbate and all that, and that he-- he was-- like, he's like, "Son, I was pure," and I never-- like, I never didn't, and Steve's like, "You've never masturbated." He's like, "Nope, never," and he's like, "How would you--" like, he goes, "How would you know or something?" I don't remember, but he goes, "I just know and you need to start doing woodwork to repress those urges." And anyway, in-- in a little bit later, I think Stan gets his cock-burnt or something. Something happens and the, like, someone-- the doctor or the nurse or whoever gives him, like, they're here. Like, they're here. Just put this cream on every, like, every day for-- like, every once in a while. And so he goes to the bathroom and he goes-- and he starts putting the cream on. And he's like, "Huh," and-- like, a tug-- it seems to be tugging, and he's like, "This feels-- this feels kind of good." And then he's like, "Ahhh!" And then echoes throughout the house and throughout the-- throughout the street. Like, there's this echo of just him going, "Ahhh!" It's the funniest-- it's the funniest thing. But it turns into this whole-- you know, when, like, someone who hasn't had sugar before has sugar, so they go-- so they go overboard to the point where he's, like, trying to find this cream that he had before, because he's, like, almost addicted to it. It was quite a-- it was quite a good episode about how, like, that sort of addiction sort of thing can work. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty funny. And he's, like, he-- he's-- sorry, he's struggling to control himself, so he runs into the-- his little woodwork room to sort of fight his urges, and he's, like, "Must continue doing woodwork, repress urges, fight urges." And then he's, like, "Ahh!" Did it. And he's holding up, like, this wood carving of the Statue of Liberty, because-- because you know, America-- Yeah. And he's, like, sweet liberty, like, golden, like, golden, precious, symbol of America. And he's, like-- and he's, like, face, beautiful. And he's, like-- and then he quickly runs into the room, and he's, like, throws the-- throws the carving of this wood statue thing on the bed, and he's, like, taken off his shirt just one more time. That's pretty funny. But what makes me worried is, like, how do I put it, like, if-- I don't understand how that sort of thing could affect-- negatively affect these people's lives so much. And I'm starting to think, maybe it's not really that that's affecting their lives. Maybe it's something, like, something else that's going on mentally. Yeah. Something greater, yeah. And they're using that, sort of, the same way-- using masturbation, for example, the same way people would use alcohol or cigarettes, or any kind of addictive, pleasurable-- Correct. Yeah, addictive, pleasurable thing, like, maybe they're using it to, sort of, repress-- sort of, yeah, fight against their, um, depression or some other symptoms of something. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's right. But, yeah, so it's a bit frustrating to see this guy get lots of views to give people, like, you know, like, who inspire these people to-- Yeah. --to quit, and now he's saying he quit and all that. But at the same time, it's like, this shouldn't be-- it shouldn't be-- this video should be laughed at, essentially. People should be going-- like, people should be laughing at it and going, "Oh, that's ridiculous." But the fact that it's getting a bunch of people, and not just people-- younger people, like a few older people, commenting and saying, "Yeah, this has been an issue for me for this long, or it's-- apparently there was one comment that was a woman saying it's not just men, it's also women as well that have-- go through." I think-- seek professional help, don't go for guard for YouTube. YouTube's good for things, but, like, when it comes to stuff like that, seek professional help, not. Well, it's also, like, how do I put it? So, I personally don't think masturbation, for example, is a bad thing, like, in the same sense-- If you-- yeah, seek professional help, masturbate more, not. No, I think it's just like anything else, anything else that's like people enjoy in life, because you have to imagine there are people out there who don't-- it's going to sound bad, but they don't have relationship with people. They can't go to their partner to satisfy their urges and things like that, for example. So they don't have-- you know, they're horn dogs out there, there are plenty of people that are horn dogs, and a lot of people will become more successful because they're horn dogs because they want to chase more pussy, or more dick if it's like, yeah, if you're a woman who likes. Gamble responsibly. What's it say? It's not going to say. I was going to say masturbating is it responsibly, but gamble seemed funny. But I think-- I think masturbation is certainly a healthy way to sort of, like, I don't know, essentially get out some relief every once in a while. The problem is that people tend to overdo it, and overdo that. Anyone who's masturbating once a day, you've got a problem. Because you don't-- men have to look at a release testosterone, or something? I don't know. I don't know. There's heaps of-- there's studies saying it's good, there's studies saying it's bad, there's studies saying it's good, but watching porn is bad, for example, like it's-- there's plenty of people that have said and quoted studies, I'm not a scientist. I'm not a scientist, I'm not an armchair scientist. Gosh, no. But let's say, basically, like, watching porn, you become more associate, you become turned on, or sexually, all that, your brain sort of switches to seeing people doing the act of having sex, rather than you doing it. And I'm sure there's stuff to that, I'm sure there's an unhealthy nature to it all. In the same sense that drinking is unhealthy. But also, it's one of those things where like, how do I put it? If you wanted to be the healthiest person in the world right, you'd stop drinking, or you would never drink, you'd start off and you'd never have a drink, because the moment you have a drink, you fuck your brain a little bit, that's a fact. Like that's proven fact that-- You've had a taste. Instantly have a negative impact, any alcohol. Like, there is no, there is no, like, there probably people saying, "Oh, one drop wouldn't hurt." Yeah, sure, okay, one drop would get, like, your body would absorb it and shoot, and spew it out, like, get rid of it. But there's, you know, you'd do that, you'd never eat KFC, never eat fast food, you'd never eat stuff bought from the supermarket, including the stuff grown, you'd only grow your own food, or you only get, like, farm-to-table stuff. Pack-to-play. You wouldn't drink milk, right? You had drinks, milks for babies, once you, you know, once you'd give a come, there's a reason why your mother stopped producing when you got older, though. You shouldn't be drinking, you shouldn't be sucking from the cows to it. No milk. But we all do it. Oh, gosh. But like, and I'm sitting there going, "You wouldn't smoke, you wouldn't do this, you'd exercise every day." And there are probably some people that will like that. But I guarantee everybody does, everybody wants to have a little bit of fun every once in a while. I don't know why I'm reminded of this, but like, if you're gonna be one of those people, have one of, um, all mate, uh, what's his barefoot investor books, what the fuck that's what? That's what the pinnacle of a healthy person would have. Oh my, yeah, you'd have, you'd follow the barefoot investors, like, saving, saving thing to the tea. You wouldn't spend any money on furniture or anything, you'd find all of your furniture on the side of the road, it'd all be free, right? You'd, uh, hey, I got most of my stuff for free, but I still bought that and that was owned by my mother. But, but you'd be, you'd be frugal with everything and all of your money would go into, all of your money would go into a retirement fund that you would never actually get to see because you'd die at the age of 50, you'd die at the age of 79 just before you could retire and get you super. Oh man, if only I made it to 80, then I could have gotten, then I could have taken my super out. Super duper. But, um, you never, and you never have fun essentially, so you never have fun. Yeah, no. Fun's out the window. How frugal. But, um, yeah, to turn around and say, like, make it sound like, like, oh, you know, I must have made it four times a day at the worst. I've done that before. You know the worst, you know the worst part of that, it hurts a little weird, won't we all know? Jackson, I reckon majority of people, 90% of men, I reckon probably more than 90% have done it four times. Oh, definitely. One's only though. That's what they're like, yeah. Yes. They had a day where they're like, no, on time forever, I'm just going to bust a nut or four times. Mm. If you, yeah, but if you are busting a nut four times, you've got a problem. You do have a problem. If you bust a nut four times once, then it's, you probably don't ever know what to say. Yeah. Okay. We'll respond. This is fun. I will say this, it does fuck with your motivation a little bit, but sometimes you just can't be fucked anyway. Yeah. We'll beat about 10%. Mm hmm. Anyway, that I don't, I don't like, I don't want to, I don't want to get like, I can talk more, I could talk more about this guy's videos, if you're between the ages of 20, the 20 or so videos the guys made about how you're, if you're between the ages of 13 and 25. Yeah, and 25 and don't even get me started on like these workout videos, the guy used to make when he was an actual kid, like 14 year old showing 14 year old and younger how to lift weights and how to get, he's sitting, he's sitting there like, it's, it's sitting there going, yeah, you could have muscle like mine if you did pushups every day. Like, and I, I can't, I'm not going to fault the guy on those videos because we're talking about a 14, 15, 16, 17 year old kid, yeah, that, that, you know, just wanted, just wanted to make video, have fun and make videos, apparently to the point where the guy didn't hang out with his friends, like he focused more on making like workout video content and having fun with his friends, but now that he's 18, I can kind of call him out a little bit on the, I must have been for like, I'm at, I, I, you know, you watch this video and you'll never watch porn again. Well, that's a lie. All right. If one video by one 18 year old will make you stop watching porn, then you didn't really have any issues to begin with. No. No, that's right. That's, it takes, it takes a lot more than that to break an addiction. All right. Yeah, it's a bit. The reason why there's a whole month dedicated to it. Yep. Get on to that. Which I have never done. Let me, to be honest, who, who has done it, if you, you're a student, there'd be a fair few people who would have done, if you, but I think they would have done it looking forward to the end of the month, December, oh, thank goodness. Also, I got a quick question for anyone who actually does know, no November. Is that also, is that also include no sex? Are you basically not having sex for a month? Cause if you have, or are you just not nodding when you have sex? Well, the thing is, this is, this is, oh yeah, I'm close and close, I better stop. What's that? You want to keep going? No, no, I can't. I'm bad. I just feel like this is inner parties of going, dude. Ah, I got to stop. Tea drops down. Tea drops down. Part of me dying inside today. In the eyes of an angel. Part of me dying inside today. No, seriously, cause I hear no, no November, it just sounds like no sex November as well. Yeah. So the thing is like, is there a version for females, does it apply to females as well? I mean, it's just, it's, it's so, well, yeah, it does, because the term, nodding, it doesn't actually, it's got enough, it doesn't really mean you're not. It's like, if I heard a button, like, I certainly hope nobody's literally busting a nut. Ouch. How do you get my cashews? Oh yeah, I'm fucking balls. I'm sorry I love a busted a nut. Well, there's pistachros, I need a busted, it's pistachros. Do you want to know how, I still have to masturbating when I busted a nut. All right, I'm Justin and I'm 19 years old and I have a nut, it's, it's three years. Oh God, this is the true story of Justin, what, what I learned from not having, from not mass failing 90 days, for 90 days, it's like it sucks. Oh, hi, my name's Paul, I've said, I didn't eat food, I didn't eat food for 90 days. I'm fine, better than ever, keto really kicked in. My right arm is superior, stronger than my left arm. Oh, goodness me. But yeah, I almost want to make a response video, but I feel like this guy's the kind of, because especially because he's an 18 year old, who'd be petty and go, that's copyright, you've got your copywriting, my work, you did a react video, 90% of it is me talking, so we're just going to. I wonder if your copy strike you and get all your money that you'd make from it on your, on your three subscriber channel. Five works are going on, five minutes early. I wonder if, as my gold's done a video about it. I doubt it. The guy, maybe when he gets a bit bigger, but like, it's one of those things where I'm, I'm just having a bit of a ramp because I can't, like, it's not, it's not a beat like most of the time this guy gets like, he's got these mill, he's got over a million, 1.6 million subscribers, and what I find interesting is the fact that if he doesn't post a video about how he's nutted, if he doesn't post a video about not watching porn or how to quit porn or masturbating, or a video titled, if you're eight, if you're between the ages of 18 and 14, if you're 22, 25 to 12, if you're 10 to 18, if you're fucking 14 to 69, then if he's not posting, that you should watch this video, or watch this video, you know, like, if he's not posting a video like that, he's based, and even when he posts videos like that, he gets very little views, imagine what his YouTube shorts are like, because it's all surface little crap, but he probably will get more, it'd be interesting, I actually will be curious to see where this channel goes in the future, whether the guy actually switches content again now that he's got a bunch of, like, now that he's got some clout, I guess you could call it, or whether he's just going to keep repeating the pattern because it's working, because it works for him, and then he's going to get like a bunch of money, because he has gotten, he's probably made a bunch of money, I think he did post a video showing that he's earned money from it, or explains in a video that he's earned quite a bit of money for it, so I got on him for that, like, I'd say, you know, good on you, but it'd be interesting to see if he keeps trying to go in that direction or do this lifecoaster stuff at the age, at the tender age of 18, or whether, like, the guy shifts in a different direction, or whether he keeps trying, and these views just drop off, because people are like, ah, yeah, you've made a video, we've heard this video before, like, can you, I need legit help, or I need someone to actually help me, help, help me, help me, help me, to shreds, you see, anyway, that's my rant about a random, yeah, youtuber, good job, um, you said rant, I have a quick rant about Instagram, I don't know why, but there's a lot of stuff, you need three minutes of rant, do you? Oh, just, I was assuming that, just a, have you got an Instagram, uh, too much soft core stuff? It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's dumb, yeah, but anyway, it's the, it's the enchitification of the world, so, it's, ah, yes, tell me about the ench, tell me, well, I'm looking on the, the, the, the, the page section, or the homepage section, and I'm sorry. Jack Jackson, hold on, did you hear that, um, do you hear that electric car production is in the up? The what? Electric car production is in the up, there's more, more electric cars being built. Oh, that's good. Now than ever, right? Yes. What do you, what do you think of that? That's great, I guess. Ah, it says another word for it. It's shocking. No, it's, it's, it's another G word. It's great. No, no, it's, it's another G word. It's good, Jackson. It's good. Oh, sorry. Say it. That's good. But you didn't understand it. Sorry, no, I didn't, I didn't. That's bad. I'm sorry. But, you know, more electric cars. That's good. But more, but that means more mining for lithium battery, which is worse for the environment. That's bad. But no more, no more fossil fuels. That's good. But here, but here in Victoria, we don't have an upgraded electrical system and we're going to start burning rubbish to actually get electricity. But hey, more power and then we don't have to recycle as much. That's, that's good. But most of it's probably going to go into the atmosphere and poison us. Oh, that's bad. Oh, goodness me. And on that fireworks note, thank you for listening. There's fireworks are going off. So, uh, yes. Happy new year. Happy new year. Happy new year on your own camera. But we can barely see. What am I saying? I probably work. I probably work up, Axel. I don't think we'd make it to 12. Yeah. Only like a minute. I only like a minute left. Still a minute. It's been like 30 seconds of minute here. I'm done, guys. Well, I'm out, guys. This is what's cool now. I think I'm done. I no longer have any connection to this world. I'm going to go. I gotta, I gotta cut that properly. Oh, I'm stopping to widen in the house.
