I've got something, I've got something to show you, you're gonna love this Jackson. Oh, great, I'm excited, I'm really scared. You'll be excited. We are the voices of the streets. We'll take this right on low repeat. Laugh along with every joke. Welcome to the average book. Yes. There you go. I got it. Amazing fade out. I got it. Amazing fade out. Jackson. Jackson. It was that good. It was that good. It was that good. Jackson. I'm just joking. Jackson. You missed it. Jackson. Yes. Destroy. I know Jackson. This song, right? That song. Yes. That song, right? Yes. Okay. Did you make that song with the songify thing, or did I make it? You made it. Okay, good. I couldn't find it. It deleted itself somehow. No. Okay. Yes. So I had to take the original edit that I did. This one. I cut that myself. And cut. No. It was already pre-cut. Okay. So if I play this. We gathered around for them. All the way through. Yes. When I originally cut it, I did that quick fade out. So I was stuck with the quick fade out. Yeah, because I couldn't find the original song. Okay. Well. Unbelievable. Who was that person just then? Well. I don't know what you're talking about. Hey, welcome back to what I've ever traveled to. I can't believe that. Jesus Christ. The one issue with the thing. And you've got to complain about the quick. It's a joke boy. You missed it. When I passed you. Oh. It's just annoying because that was the one thing I couldn't fix Jackson. And there's the one thing I was annoyed that I couldn't fix. Because for some reason, I don't know why it deleted that song. It didn't delete the other one. It deleted that one. Yeah. Because we posted links with those songs in messages somewhere. So it's probably that some are still. We're here. No, I searched. I went through Discord looking for it. Okay. So if you can find it, please do. Because I am a fan of the other ones. It might be in nerds. The voice chat inbox messages thing. I think you're right. It might actually be. I'll check because but I went to the website, right? I went to the website and found my profile and even searched for the song. And it wasn't there anymore. The other one was the other one because I did two of them at the same time. Yes, you did. So if for some reason it deleted the one that was actually good. Otherwise, play the original one. Am I able to go to nerds without. I can just click on that and go to the chat. Yes, you should be a little chat box button. Yeah, I see it open chat. There it is. It might not be that. It's not in nerds. Anyway, it's I'm in board. Would it be? What will be we in game one? Possibly. Maybe. Yeah. Here it is. Here it is. Shuna average blokes that's rock one. I'm checking the website. Welcome back to another. Smashingly exciting episode of average books. I don't even want to do it anymore. I go through all that effort the other day. Yes. And you have to let it go. No, it's true. No, it's no spider. It was. I appreciate it. I didn't have to add it in post. That's how good it was. I'm serious. True story. I was. That's all right. I found it. Yeah. Because it was there. Breaking news. Breaking news. Man flies drone to North Korea from China to capture incredible footage. But everyone's saying the same thing. And I quote everyone saying the same thing. Yeah, what's everyone saying? The same thing. And what's that? The same thing. Same thing is what? Okay. The reason why I brought this up was because classic uni lad on Facebook have their ways of trying to get people to click on their news. And so I don't need this post was everyone commenting saying the same thing. Of course, because everyone's saying the same thing about the same thing. It's just look, this is just to bring up briefly about how stupid, you know, exactly nothing happened. A bunch of people commented on that everything's saying everything the same, but anyway. So yeah, I just thought I'd break into that for no reason whatsoever. Because yeah, you've completely lost me now. Good. That's perfect. Everyone's saying the same thing. And what's that? The same, the same thing. Because it's uni lad. People are spamming uni lad. The comment saying the same thing, right? Yeah. The phrase. The same thing. When I get it, I just don't, I don't see the humor in it. I don't see the point. It's fine. I think it's fine. You have to understand it's fine. Understand what? Okay. So like I was saying, a man in China, flew a drone into North Korea and the footage was released. Yes. However, everyone is saying the same thing. And then in the comment section of that post, people were commenting the same thing. So are you saying the title of that? Yes. That's the title of the... Okay. And then everyone's commenting. Yeah. I get it. I just don't get it. There's no... What's so funny? I get the joke. I just don't find it humorous in any way. That's fair. That's fair. Yes. So everyone's saying the same thing. Yes. So everyone's putting the same thing. I get it because it's meant to be a clickbaity. Yes, correct. I just don't have the mental capacity to give a shit. I mean, it's weird though, right? Because the concept of someone flying a drone at North Korea. I'm pretty sure it's already happened a few times. Yeah. It's got footage. I'm pretty sure you'll find a bunch of different articles about drones going into North Korea. It's the footage that you've shown. There's literally that little guard station. And there's this guy talking to another guy. And then next to him, there's a guy going, like, pulling up the drone. I don't know. Sorry. Yeah. That's fair. And what did they say about it? The same thing. See that? There we go. That's better. Except the Korean probably. It's better. They probably will say it in Korean. I don't know what that is. What's the same thing in Korean? I don't know. That's fine. Oh my goodness. Oh, well. Thank you. Again, welcome back to another episode of the average parts. Another confusing episode on nonplate for us. Mark, can we shout out to that one person who commented on our one of our recent videos? Yeah. Shout out to the guy who commented, "Thank you for that. I appreciate it." I wanted to respond in the comment section, but Jackson doesn't give me control of the channel anymore. Apparently, I watched too much Harry Potter stuff on the average blokes channel. Mate, it'll be 10 minutes, so I'm subscribed to all those stupid channels. Oh, really? You know how long it takes for me to describe to them? One second. One second. I'll just do more because you call me up and you're like, "You need to stop watching Harry Potter stuff on the average blokes podcast." Stop it. I watched two videos last night, and one of them was the bus scene in the third movie. Stop it. Get some help. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. So, yeah. Pump can eat a 69, 420, which has to be one of the great... Shout out to you. Dang, bro. The fact that this episode number 74 and you'll only have 15 subscribers is sad. Hope y'all get more subscribers, which is interesting because I think number 16 or 17 now, so it seemed to have worked. But as Troy's disappeared now, yeah, well, I got to turn off the camera. That's fair. I understand. I'll be back. Yeah, it's fun. So, you know what it sounds like? Wow. This guy's a super white knight. I mean, he's not wrong. No, I just wanted to use that little clip that I found that I got. I was trying to think like, this guy or these guys, super white knights, at least we're not so used. What happens? I don't understand. I'm so glad you told me that it was the meeky man. I'm glad. I'm so glad that it's part of your life now because it is definitely one of the greatest clips. What happened? Well, I'd say the funny thing is you do it better, I reckon you do it better than the actual voice. That's fair. You certainly sound more like he now should. Like, it was a bit more grunkled. What happened? You have aged. I've got an aged voice. Yeah. No. No, his voice. So, if you listen, what happened? It's very like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Like, it's got a grunt to it. What happened? Well, you've got more of the high pitch. Yeah. Probably. The best part about it is I can do this, which you cannot do. What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? A dwarf? A dwarf? A dwarf? Yes. That's what happened. So I've been listening to a guy on YouTube who, the YouTube channel is called TextPlays. Okay. And he does. I think it's CSGO's a game. I've never actually played it. CSGO, the one where we, we, it's terrorist versus counter-terrorists, they've got to plant the bomb and all that. Is that CSGO? I think it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he's playing, the guy plays CSGO, but he has the chat on and chats with people and he puts on an anime voice filter. And that's where I got the... Whoa. ...from. Oh, right. I put the volume up on it, but if I put the volume down, this is what it usually sounds like. Whoa. It's just him saying... It's still high. It's just him saying well. No. Wow. Oh, wow. Is it really like... Wow. Yeah. Like, really... Like, he tries to say it, so it sounds like the actual, um, like, uh, this one. Yeah, but it's... No, not that one. I've got to find it. The other wow that I've got. Oh, this one's going to walk out, but I've... Yes, it's off. You can walk around nude if you must. She is walking around nude. I know. That's why I'm suggesting that's why the cameras turned off. Wow. This guy's a super white knight. She's a super white knight. But yeah, so I've taken a couple of clips. I didn't get much time because unfortunately, your plane was just too quick and you got here. You got home sooner than I had hoped. I'm sorry about that. So I got a couple of clips and, um, I just randomly got this one as well because I felt like it. Is the gamer girl saga over and did I find the one? Now, right after that he goes, uh, afterwards. And even before that he's like, uh, uh, and he's like, to what, 'cause it's an actual, 'cause it's a girl playing the game and he's like, "Oh my goodness, is that a gamer girl?" And then he goes, 'cause the, um, the profile's name is Trinity. So he's like, "Trinity, can I send you a friend request?" And she says, "Yes." So next thing you know he goes, "Is the gamer girl saga over and did I find the one?" One you like to know. But it's just a guy doing troll videos, but they're very funny. Yeah, so that, that voice clip I'm hearing sounds very similar to the guy I've heard. Who does the, he does trolling voices as, like, pretending he's a little kid, which is what I told you that before on the phone, but yeah, sounds like, "Yeah, yeah." But he was playing, like, um, CS, uh, not CSK, he was more playing Call of Duty though. I mean, I could be wrong. I mean, this guy plays other things as well, but the, these videos, they're, uh, they're, like, relatively new. He made this what he, he made, well, it's got one here that was Call of Duty, it says Call of Duty, and it, he made it three months ago, but this is anime kid voice. Okay. The ones, the ones that I watched were made, um, three months ago, yeah, it was three months ago, three months ago, two months ago, and 12 days ago. So did you, um, did you hear it recently, or was it ages ago you heard this troll voice thing? Uh, it was like, on YouTube shorts. Ah, yeah, it definitely would have been this guy, because this is where I found, I found his shorts. Yeah. But there's, there's a, he released a video, a full video, it's, um, it's toxic, Karen, has a epic, epic, uh, meltdown. I don't think I've seen that one. Oh, no, it's not that one. There was another one he posted. It was basically, he's, it was, it was male feminist, tell, and it tells, tells, tells woman what to do, the guy's like, kitchen or something like that. I think, no, no, it's like, so the guys like, the girl's like, you can't talk for women. And he goes, actually, you've been ruined by men, so you can't, so you can't talk for women. Okay. You're just part of the Patreon. Okay. Cool. Like it's supposed to, it's supposed to be, he goes full circle that he's, um, that he's telling this woman off because she's not feminist enough. And she's, she goes, I hope you don't reproduce. And he's, he's like, actually, I'm seldom, because I don't want men to exist in the world. So he's like, I've decided not to have kids. Understandable. Have a day. It's just, it's just, it's just really funny. I don't know if they're fake or not, or if they're real, but they're still very, very entertaining. Fake. Who put it that way? Uh, I think some of them are some of them aren't like, I think the Karen ones fake, but I don't think the anime voice trolling ones are fake. Yeah. That's fair. Cause in his latest one, uh, he, he, like he, he said one of the clips and, and another guy copied him like he, he went, he went, wow. And then the next guy responded with, is the gamer girl saga over? Okay. Cause, cause I realized who he was, like, immediately tracked down was on. That's exactly it. Um, I was going to bring up into the, some new stuff, but I thought we should do some highlights. Um, I'm just going to quickly talk about my quick trip to Hobart for work and how weird and lucky Hobart is, uh, all you do is talk about work, Jackson, especially Hobart. Like if I talked about Hobart so many times would be an anti Hobart podcast, I'm not, I'm not really into the Simpsons like that, Jackson, how's the Simpsons got to do thing with her? Oh, yes. Yeah. It's funny cause I was saying to you on the phone that are the Bart of Hose. That's where I am. I just find it funny. The gears ticking in your head. Yeah. What's that got to do with? Oh. Well, I mean, there was episode we did a while back and you were, it was the May the 4th and you're telling your, I gave me this subtle clues about being, it's being May the 4th and I just, it took me like five clues or two. Oh, yeah. Really, really subtle. Yeah. Like this one is lovely. It's really subtle. Yeah. Don't date this episode. 1993. 1993. Fair enough. Oh, it was one year old. Okay, that's not what's going on. Okay, it's good. It's gone. Amazing. Troy, it's gone. Troy, it's gone. Troy, it's gone. I don't know. I really don't care that you're a baby. I'll snap your neck like a twig. Okay. Look, I've got nothing in the sense of content at the moment. All right, these sandboards, they're all I've got at the moment. There was another thing I was going to talk about Hobart. Oh, yeah. So Hobart is phenomenal in other ways. It's just like a place that time forgot, like the way the CBD is structured and laid out. In fact, there's a bunch of one way, like most of the streets in the CBD. There's a CBD. Yeah, it's all one way. Why? Why are they all one way? I don't know. It's really weird. I mean, I've been to Hobart before, but only once, and I was literally there for like a good 10 minutes and then we left. Oh, you're at the airport, then, just at the airport. No, we went at the airport. We took the spirit of Tasmania. Was it Hobart or? You would have gone to a lawn system or Devon? It was probably actually lawn system. Hobart's on the east side, isn't it? Down south, sorry. I meant south. Yeah. No, actually, we didn't go to Hobart. No. No, I think about it. We went to, yeah, the north. We started on the north side. Yeah, you would have been Devonport or lawn system. We got to that. We got as far as, what's that old mining town that's down at the bottom of the hill south? In Tazee. In Tasmania. Oh, the vacant field. Is it Beacons Field? Yeah. That's funny. Because there's a Beacons Field near us and there's a Beacons Field. That's where that, um, back in 2004, 2005, the Beacons Field mine disaster where there was two guys rescued and one guy died. I'll be the judge of that because we went down right. So we started off at, what's the, where does the spirit of Taz land? I think it's lawn tested on Devonport, one of those two. Where's Devon? We're going to search the north west. Northwest. Yeah. I'm looking northwest, but there's so many. Oh, there's Devonport. Yeah. We landed at Devonport and then we went down and we went somewhere like, not white, more, but in that sort of area, or doloring or something. And then we cut down and I think we went to, did you, did you go that far down? We didn't get that far down. Do you go to that place where there's a river and there's like a colony prison type place? So we basically went down to essentially London lakes and then we cut across to Queenstown and then went back up and went back to Devonport from there. Oh, that's a weird little trip. So we explored, yeah, because most, because my parents were going to a wedding in Longford, I think. I was at Longford or Langston. It was around there. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But it might have been, it might have been further like Arthur's Lake or something, but it was it, it was in the middle of Tasmania. Okay. Yeah. I think it was Longford. It would have been Longford. How long? And yeah. How long? And then we cut down and I thought we actually went far down to the coast, but we must have, yeah, we must have only gotten to the middle at London Lake. Let's have a look at London lakes. Oh, there's no photos. Gosh. Dang it. Oh, yeah. There's Longford. Oh, yeah. It would have been Devonport because long distance way in town, way in land. Yeah. We, we got up, we went to Devonport and then kind of, and then cut down. Oh my goodness. The drive down like part through there was just, I hate those roads. They were the worst, but at that point, I was like a 13 year old teenage boy and I'm sitting there going, I do not want to do a road trip around Tasmania. I mean, it wouldn't take you very long. The best part was, it took like four hours, five hours or maybe up a month. It was like a good five hour drive or something where we went. So, so, yeah, the thing with Tasmania for me was the last time I was in Tasmania was just as COVID was coming around. So it was, I was there just before, it was the same weekend as when the Melbourne Grand Prix was meant to be on, but it got canceled. Ah, it was quick. It was Queen's turn I was thinking of, okay, is that the last time you went with the Grand Prix? Yeah. It was 2020. Well, yeah. All the four more, formerly the one fans at the airport having to turn around because they got canceled and they were so annoyed and pissed off. Yeah, that's understandable, um, lately understandable, but fortunately this time around when I was coming back from Hobart today at the airport, there was no such thing as that happening. So, but, uh, funny enough actually, the place I stayed at last time was the same place I stayed at this time and, uh, still the same old, it hasn't changed too much. But, uh, Hobart is just a crazy, weird place because it's not flat at all, there's no, it's just heels upon heels everywhere there. In fact, guess how much population is of, well, how much people live in Hobart, roughly? I don't know how many people live in Hobart, uh, 24 times less than Melbourne. So, 24 times less. Less. So, in Melbourne, we have a, I think- You mean, you mean divided by 24? So, you divide Melbourne's population by 24? Yeah, and you get, yeah, so it's about 200,000 people who live in Hobart. That's heaps of people. It competes to five million? Yeah, no, that's heaps. My question is right now that I think about it is, uh, so it's a bit weird, right? Because you'd think, like, Hobart's the capital, yeah? It's the state capital, yes. Yeah, you'd think the state capital would be, like, I don't know, somewhere like Georgetown or, um, or even Devonport, it would make more sense because, like, it's close to the rest of Australia. Yeah, I don't know why Hobart, I think there must have been something to do with Captain Cook, oh, mate, landing here. No, no, man, because you have to, you have to actually go further. So, like, you have to, that- people who want to deliver supplies to Tasmania or do, do trade stuff, that- to go to Hobart, they'd have to go around. Yeah. Well, is it- what was- well, it was Devonport they could- they could just cut straight across. Hold on a second. Did you- go on, did you knock? Did you knock on something? Okay, am I able to put my- I will put my camera back on? Yeah, I was listening. I wasn't listening. It's curly. Ah, I'm back again, I'm alive. So I was going to mention- They exist. There is quite a few historical things about Hobart, because they got the- they got this thing called Constitution Dock. So I'm assuming that must be where the first place they landed back in the day, the explorers. Wow, this does not look like a city. No, it doesn't. It looks like a- like a village or something almost. Let me put myself in the middle of Hobart. In the middle of Hobart, didn't- middle of Hobart. Why is the tallest building only five stories high? Oh, that's not true. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Wait, that looks like- oh, it's the- it's the nab. It's the nab building. It has- it'd have to be- that'd be the biggest. Probably. It'd be one of the bank buildings. It's like I'm playing Geogueso all over again. Watch our video- my video on Geogueso where I beat Jackson at his own game. In your dreams, probably. So yeah, there are- and yeah, so there was one of the days when I finished a job early, I had no time to go up to Mount Wellington. And man, that's such a sick place to go up and like just sight see. It's just awesome views. You can almost see- I think you can- I was saying on a clear day you can see- you can see Cradle Mountain or something? I can't remember, but yeah, it's- I've got a question for you. Do Tasmanians sound slightly different? Like when you went to Tasmanian, do you hear a slight difference in accent or no? Not really, no. It's funny though, because it's funny that it was compared like, "Oh, you're not from here, are you?" Because there was one sort of- They say that. Yeah, they're like, "Oh, you're not from Tazia, are you?" I'm like, "No." And they were- Well, there you go. They can hear it from coming from you. Well, it's not such what I was sounding like, it was the way I was trying to say things, because like, there was a shopping centre where one of my thoughts was that. And I was like, "I'm going to this place in Southland or Eastland?" And the lady goes, "Oh, it's Eastland, you're not from here, are you?" Yeah. Ah, I see, because you didn't know where it actually was when I got you. Yeah, yeah. And if I had a dollar for every time I said mainland, I'd have like- Oh, really? Deep bucks. Deep bucks. Yeah, I don't know. For me, it's not a place to visit if you like visiting old places. I hope that's definitely not a place to go. What I was trying to say before is you should- You should next time you go there wear a shirt that says "From the mainland." Don't ask from mainland. Thank you. Don't ask from mainland. But yeah, the crazy- But so, one more thing. I want to finish up. It was so wild because you know how there was an announcement for the Tasmanian Devils, the new football team that they're going to put into place eventually. There was a whole, like every third casticker or fourth casticker, well every car, sorry, had a casticker saying, "Yes, team, yes stadium." And then along the car up further ahead, whatever, a sticker says, "No stadium, no thank you." Like- What? Why would they not want a stadium? I don't know. What? Do they not have one for starters? They do have one, but they want one that has a roof because their way to attract people is to have a roof stadium. No, that's fair enough. You should have it. Yeah, I'd want a roof stadium. So. Or a stadium that like the MCG, wait. No, Eddie. Yeah, that's right. Marvel. Eddie At. What's it called? It's called Marvel, but which one? Which one got turned into Marvel? Eddie At. Eddie At. Eddie At. Okay. Anyway, Marvel stadium. Doesn't that close in and open up? It's always mainly closed. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, it's winter. Yes. Obviously, being in winter sport. So it's weird because there's always a divide between the north and south. And so, the whole idea of having a football team with Tasmania is to unite the state. However, you've got to unite Hobart first. I just don't like... Do they... You think? I don't know. What sport? Because obviously, like, Queensland is more into rugby and on that. Right. And South... What's South Australia more into? I feel... I feel cricket and basketball. They're into... Yeah. And I mean... Oh, gee, I wonder what sports Victorians like. Yeah, there's only one answer. But what do the... Yeah, what do Tasmanians mostly do? Like what sport do they focus on? See, that's the problem because there's no professional recognised team down there for like... I mean, there's basketball... For anything? They do have basketball. Sorry, I forgot. The jack-jumpers. The jack-jumpers. The jack-jumpers. Which to be fair, in the previous NBA, NBA-L season, sorry. So they won the grand final, they won the championship. And that was only the second year existence or third year existence, so... Maybe Tasmania is the basketball state. Yeah. Possibly. Maybe I'll move there then. Yeah. But in all seriousness, what was... Let's try and say... Remember the fact that they were trying to... That they wanted to get the name Tasmanian Devils and they spoke to Warner Brothers about copyright stuff? And you can't have copyright. But animal exists. Oh, I still can't believe that like they... That was actually a conversation. Yes. Got a... Oh, there's a lot of weird stuff that goes on with the legalities here. Yeah. Like when they... Do you remember with Rocket League, we couldn't get the Australian soccer team? Oh. We couldn't get the Australian soccer team because it had our flag on it or something. Yes. That sounds right. Was it? I don't think... I don't think you can even get the Australian flag as an antenna. I can't... Yeah. It's some sort of... Maybe... No, you should be able to do that. You should. I haven't checked. Because you can get every single other... It's something to do with our flag or something to do with the southern star or something. Yes. You can jack, although you can jack as a British thing, which is a separate thing. Yeah. I don't know. It's a little bit whack by the way. Well, one of the things of subject of AFL and fulling stuff, there was a... So last week in the showdown, the South Australian showdown, which is a football game between Port Adelaide and Adelaide, there was a player from Adelaide who did a bit of a banter with the Port Adelaide fan saying, "The Port Adelaide supporters haven't got any teeth." Like that was a sort of joke. But it was taken heavily out of context. And what ended up having was this player who said the thing when they played, he didn't have a good start at the game, but he kicked a goal, and then when he kicked a goal, he went over to the Port Adelaide supporters and poured in these teeth and saying, "Look, I've got teeth. You guys don't have teeth." That's a... That's a say. Oh my goodness. That's brilliant. It's good that he did that, but the unfortunate thing is that his team lost, which, I mean, that's okay. It's what happens. However... At least he's got teeth. Yeah. That's the main thing. So it's a stereotype type thing, but anyway. However, so this guy from Adelaide Crows has been asked, he's been dropped for the last round of the... Come on. Because... Of course. Well, it's ridiculous, because on top of this, Axe Crow, Joshua Shelley, says he accidentally liked the online comments after he was controversially dropped in the wake of his show down antics. Someone commented on the post saying, "Disgusting what the club is doing hanging out you to dry. We're not blamed you for asking for a trade mate, and this player liked that comment." But then he's been forced to apologise for saying, "Oh, I know it was a mistake. I didn't mean to like it." And I'm like... Oh my goodness. No. This is what kills AFL. This has gotten way too far. Oh my goodness. The sense... Not censorship, but the whole internet ruling thing. It's just gotten out of control. I thought, what's the... Is that rule? It's just like... You can't be... You can't... Like, there's... The AFL world, and like, the professionalism, it's just doing too much. It's overriding... What? It's killing any... This isn't even AFL, this is like a world. This is a... I guess you're true. Yeah. So this is a social media problem. It's a social media problem where... Probably a society problem to be honest on a broader scale. Well, no, for example, what you're talking about is the player said, you know, like the comment about him trading, and so he got in trouble with his club. Is that right? Right. Yeah, that was part of it. Yes. Yeah, he got in trouble. But that's just a smaller... For example, in the UK, people can get arrested for hateful tweets. And you know, as much as I don't want people being racist or sexist or anything like that. Or... Or... Or, you know... What's the word I'm looking for? I'm trying to think of the term that people always say. It's about violence. When you say... Trying to... You know... Like, you know, say and kill all these people or kill those people. Oh, you're like... Condemning. Or not... Yeah. Inspiring violence or whatever. Yeah. Like, much of the dislike all of that stuff. When someone says something... When it's... When it's some random 50-year-old lady or someone who's like, just says something, who's a bit frustrated and says something that they shouldn't say that they wouldn't say out in public and they say it on the internet, and then they get arrested for it, it's just a bit ridiculous. Yeah. I just think it's... But you got... You got... You got celebrities, and you've got sports people like... AFL players, NBA players, cricket players, etcetera, soccer players who... They can't even be themselves on social media, because if they say one wrong thing, they suddenly get into so much trouble. Yeah. And that's what... Like, suddenly... About the censoring. This is too much censoring, and, like, this is how, like, we can't... We can't do this all the time, because there's going to be no characters, there's going to be no interesting people left. Well, it's not just that. It's... People are going to... Nobody's going to use social media or the internet anymore. No one's going to use it to talk to anyone. Which isn't a bad thing, to entourage... I don't think it's... In some ways. Yeah. I'm hoping... I'm hoping that does happen, but in the reverse where it's people... You know the term "go out and touch grass", so I've thought of a better version. I've thought of a new way. Go out and touch hay. Good touch hay. Go touch some hay. That's a bit different, but sure. Well, think about it. How hard is it to touch grass in real life? Like, how else is it to actually touch grass? What's the fastest time you can touch hay in Mario? No, but in all seriousness, if someone, if I was to right now, like, at, right now go outside and go, "All right, I've got to touch some hay." How would I do that? I would, personally, I would have to drive like a couple of kilometers down the road, jump a fence into a farm, and find a farm that has hay, and find a barn that's got hay stored for the winter. Don't you have something new garden, as birdwise or something, you never need one new garden? No, we don't have any hay. We've got sugarcay mulch. Oh, sugarcay. Yes. Yes. Yes. We're from normal together. But yeah, you tell someone to, "Yeah, it's touch hay, I kind of like it." Touch hay. Touch hay. What would be another one? Because hay is for horses. Ho, ho, ho. In the field, there was hay. You must touch it. No, that's all. I've just gone back to the thing you're like in the sea, there are fish, but like with hay or the grass. In the outside, there is grass. No, that is all. Yes. Yes, yes. It doesn't work. It just don't work. You know, Jackson, why don't you leave the thing into somebody else? Oh, yeah. No, you're right. I'll listen back to this thing and go, "Oh, yeah, I could think of one because I'm mentioning it again." Oh, I, so I was, when you brought up the guy talking about how he's got teeth, so it reminded me of like yesterday when I was at a job site and I started talking to a plaster guy and he was telling me about how basically he'd lost all these teeth for reasons, like for illegal reasons, let's put it that way. And let's just say he likes to ride the manual. Okay. Why, do you don't? Riding the manual or riding or riding. Right. Either way. He likes to ride the manual. He likes to ride the manual. Stick. What happens, what happens to a car, Jackson, when you change gears? You shifter. No. Okay. Sorry. What happens to a car when you, I've, I've just given it away, so it doesn't matter. Yes. Whatever. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you just tell me how like all these teeth were like feelings and all that and all that. I'll work in to do much detail because maybe one day he'll actually hear this, I doubt it. But, um, he was telling me, we were having a good chat and I said to him, look, I'm just happy to talk to someone because with this job you don't really talk to that many people every day or you don't talk to. And he goes, he goes, yeah, it's a bit, it's a bit different now. Like, I'm usually working by myself and he goes, and it's some people are harder to talk to, like, and he goes, like, young people don't know how to talk to people anymore, like, you know, young people don't know how to, like, they can't have a conversation with them. And they're all gamers. You just, you just speaking right now, remind me of that story. G'day. How's it going? Oh, that's my cue. Good. Thanks. Well, yeah. That's a funny thing is like that, the guy who I said that to, and they got the cue. He was a younger, he was a young gourish bloke, like around my age, probably maybe a little younger than me, or maybe a little older, it was hard to tell. But it was quite interesting because at the same time I was like, am I not young anymore? I mean, I'm not, but like, how old do I look at this point? And also, I am a gamer. I didn't say that to him, but I was like, oh, yeah, fair enough. I'm thinking, I'm thinking, like, what's that got to do with, like, what, I'm thinking, can you not have a conversation with them because you don't know if you do games and they do? You don't know how to speak gamer. He doesn't speak gamer. He's not gamer enough. Speak gamer. Are you going on the gear a little too much? Yeah, I see. Um, I don't know why I forgot to mention this, but one of my highlights from even just today, I was at the airport in Hobart, and I was walking to a sit down near the terminal, near the gate, sorry, and this guy had his had a busy drink. I think it was Pepsi, and he was just subconsciously shaking and talking to his friend, and he goes to open it and I'm like, wait, wait, the kid was shaking it or the guy. I was a bloke. I was a bloke. He's just chatting away, like, yeah, yeah, just subconsciously shaking it and then when you think the odds are, what do you think the odds are? He was meant to buy a dare ice coffee or something. I bet, I don't know, but there was a Pepsi and no, but I reckon he was probably meant to buy an ice coffee, but they were out or he got a Pepsi instead because, because I'll buy, I'll buy an ice coffee and the first thing I do is shake it up. I start shaking it and twisting it, and I'll spend a good couple of minutes sometimes doing it before I actually open it. It was just so funny because he went through all the phases of what's up and what happens is shock and depression and acceptance. It was shock, acceptance, and then refused to act upon it, so he went, so he went, oh, and then he's just like, oh, yeah, kind of, because. Did the lazy arm rise? It was very funny. It just shifts his shoulders up and down a little. And one more thing I want to mention was before we were boarding, like scanning our boarding pass, later on her phone. I was having a phone call, probably her partner or whatever, and she was like, oh, I'm about to go now, but I'm getting on the plane. And then, she says, oh, but I'm ready for a joke. And so whoever was on the phone was telling her a joke, which is something that sounds like she does all the time with this person. Sounds like it, yes, well, if you said I'm ready for a joke. It was a knock-knock joke too, but I didn't hear it, but yeah, I just heard her say, who's there? And then something who? Yeah, I just thought that's a wee-way in a phone call. Tell me a joke, right? Yeah, riveting stuff. Tell me a joke before we. Oh, why did the blind man cross the road? Why the blind man cross the road to see the other side? Oh, because you couldn't get to see the other side. What? That's a deal with airplane food. I really do do do do do do do. Oh, my goodness. I am-- No, no, no, no, Jackson, it needs to be. Tell me a joke, Jackson. What's the deal with airplane food? No, tell me an actual joke. Oh, I'm telling you, actually, OK, knock-knock. Who's there? Cargo. Cargo. Way. Be big. [MUSIC PLAYING] Yes. That was terrible. Thank you. I appreciate it. Oh, my goodness. That's why it's a dead joke. You couldn't go on so-- you could have gone-- all right, so you could have gone cargo. And I go cargo where, and you could have gone on the ship. That's where cargo is. I mean, this might be risky doing it again now, but I'm going to do it again. All right, I will tell you another joke. All right, I'll try to-- Did you know I'm on Tailed Hitler? It was a tactic to go off. I still don't. I still don't, because how many people are named Hitler? I don't actually know. That's what I thought, because when I told that joke nasty with you and Kyle, you actually said that surprise didn't laugh a lot. Did I? Yes, you did. Are you sure that was the joke I was laughing at? Yes, it was, because even Kyle was surprised. I don't know. Are you sure I was laughing at that or just something else? I mean, nothing else was said. I don't remember that. I remember laughing really funny-- I remember you saying something really funny, but I don't remember it being a Hitler joke. It was definitely that. Hail Hitler. He was a taxi driver. Yes. I have to do it once, he was a taxi driver. Well, maybe it's because I already heard it. I didn't find it funny again. That's right, that's right. So anyway, not much stronger, but it's probably not also not my worst. I don't know, I couldn't get worse than that, though. Anyway, I'll let the comedy judges decide that. How can you get worse than that? Yeah, then hit the joke. Because all bases of hate end up a Hitler. I mean, I was going to say, I could probably find or come up with a Jewish joke to do with the Holocaust. That's the next step in that direction. Well, it's not going down that route. I always might get dropped from the football team and not play again. Well, actually, now I think about it. See, that's the other thing is doing this podcast. I have to actually kind of think about it a little bit. I'm sitting there going, I can't talk too much about what's going on with work. Because work stuff. I can't say anything that's true. I will admit, I say a couple of things, and they're very for me, for me in general. They're mild, they're mild, but I'm sitting there going, that can be misconstrued so easily. I'm sitting there going, this is really telling the word, and I'm trying not to. That's why they're called inner thoughts. Inner thoughts stay inside. Yeah, but it's not even an inner thought. It's a tiny little like, this is the other thing, though. It depends on how it's perceived, because there might be others like you, like Peter Pie, either 69, 420, that's probably why there's a podcast. Like you guys need more subscribers, because I like this radicalism that Troy talks about sometimes. Well, let me put it this way. I can give you a perfect example, and this is perfectly logical. I hate Indian drivers, because an Indian driver hit me and crashed into a car. I mean, that's just what happens when something happens to you, that feels like a normal thing to do. But I don't hate Indians, and I don't hate Indians drivers on the road. I'm just like, oh man, that one guy, I should say better than that, I hate international license drivers. Well, I mean, if we're going to put it down, because he had an international license. I got hit by a truck, but there's, I've always had this sort of, you must have a fear of trucks then. It's not a fee. It's a hatred. But you avoid trucks on the road? Yeah, it can't. And it's just because like, especially with the worst ones where like you're in an overtaking or you're in the far right lane, and the truck's doing nine in 100 zones, like we're doing one. Come on. And every time I go past him, and this is the most pointless thing I ever do when I go past a truck. Because you know, that reminds me, because trucks, drivers all the way up here, but I'm down here. Every time I go past, like I go, you've just, you've just, you've just been looking at him. Sorry. You've just reminded me right. So Jackson, I just remembered that I was going to mention something I've been driving the rental car for about two days, right? Three. Yes. Three days. Yes. I've been driving for three days. I noticed something today, right? So when I was in the, when I was in the right lane and the left lane was ending, right? People were giving way to me. That's because you're a big van. Yeah, I'd have been. And even when I was in the left lane, people were letting me, I'm sitting there going, oh, my goodness, this is fantastic. Like, and then at another occasion, everyone was trying to get in front of me. Is it like a speaker? I was, I was like in the left lane and as soon as I moved over the offline, just all these cars started speeding up, they were doing over 80 kilometers, I was doing the speed limit and they were doing their best to get in front of me because I was driving a big van. That's funny. And I'm sitting there going, I'm driving exactly how I would normally, I, I now have a bit of an understanding of how truck drivers feel on the road when it comes to cars cutting them off, cars getting in front of them and also cars letting them in because, oh, there was one point right, I pulled over to the side of the road around the corner from your place actually, I pulled over in the parking lane, I indicated to turn back onto the road, started driving forward, didn't pull onto the road yet, just drove forward in the parking lane and then realized there was a car, like a car camera in the corner was coming. I flicked my can indicator off and stopped right, he stopped and flashed his lights to let me pull in front of him and he was like four or five car lengths behind me. Well, he stopped in the middle of the road for me to turn in front of him. Wow. I was like, what the heck is going on? Is it like a sticker on your back of your car, maybe? I mean, it does say, it does say Avis because it's rental. Oh. So, I can understand people trying to get, when all the people were trying to get in front of me, I was like, it's because I'm driving the rental car. That'd be it, chief. That'd be it. How much longer do you have to have the rental for though? Well, good news is I might be able to return it next week because, apparently, I've got a new car, they've got, give me a new car now, which is nice. I got, I got told about it today. It's welcoming news, to be honest. And I asked them where my old car was and my, my, I guess, I guess technically the guy, one of the managers, I'm going to say, well, technically he's my boss, he, he said, I don't know, it might still be where you left it, so it might still be at the mechanics. They just put it in the car cemetery after that, just get rid of it. Because I want to get a few tools and stuff that are left in there, because I took most of the stuff out of the car, almost everything, but there were a few things I left in the glove box and other places, because I was like, I'm not going to, like, I'm not going to need these for now. They're not necessary. I think if a car rentals the car rented in Hobart, was a European car. And so I've been driving a Toyota all this time. And so one of the first mistakes I did with it was I wanted to turn right. However, when I went to do that, my wind screw up was like, ah, you meet, you, yes, yes, yes, you're driving. Yes, of course. I know, I know exactly how you feel, except the reverse, but, but I've gotten so good that like, I'll get into a car, right? And I'll flick the indicators and up now it's, it's, and then I'll, and it's the wipers. And then I just, and then it clicks on my brain and I'm good to go. Like it, because I've gotten so used to driving a, a Volkswagen, but I also used to drive a Toyota Camry. So I'm so, and Courtney's car was a, old car was a Volvo, but now she's got a Kia. So I've gotten so used to changing between left and right indicator and wipers. And it's weird, though, how, um, European and Asia have different linkers said. I mean, there's no water wrong way, but like, it's just a weird inconsistency there though. It is a bit odd. Yes. I don't understand. See, I understand right handed driving versus left handed driving, because if I want to turn left, right, or if I'm sorry, if I want to turn right, it's easier to have the indicator on the right side and you can push down and then if you want to turn left, you can push up as you go around the steering wheel. But on a right, but on a left hand driving car, left hand steering car, you had, it should be the reverse. It should be on the left hand, so you can pull down and indicate left, pull up indicate left. Yeah. But with, but yeah, it shouldn't, it should always be on the, on the side that you're actually driving. I don't know why it would be on the left side for European as opposed to, well, some Europe countries, they drive on the other side. So that's probably why that might be it. Yeah. But wouldn't, wouldn't there, wouldn't the steering wheel and everything be on the other side as well in those countries or those models? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I just know that some, well, even some, actually, even thinking about it, I think from playing geo guess, I think Thailand, they drive on the ride as well. Well, um, according, cause cause, cause according to watching a bunch of shorts all the time on her, on her phone, the, um, she showed me one where it was like this American woman who was living in Australia and it was that it was a, um, it was a video, and it was a video about driving in Australia. And she goes, she's, so she's telling her, she's trying to tell her American friends or American people like if you, if you go over Australia, here's some things that you need to know. And she goes, she goes roundabouts and she goes, we've got them in America. But not as many as an Australian and I still don't know how they work. And she goes, she says this, she goes, like, I've been told four different things by four different people and I'm sitting there going, what do you mean? What do you mean you've been told how it's not very, it's not very complicated. No, it is weird though that the, in the US, they don't have many, it's not common to have roundabouts in, I know, but what I'm saying is she's been living here for however long. Yeah, true. And she didn't, she didn't know, like, she said that she'd been told by Australians, like four different things about how, like, how it would, how to go through a roundabout. Like she got told four different conflicting things. Yeah. And I'm sitting there going, how does it, it's not, it's not that complicated. I saw one, I saw, give way, give way, do you write it? Yeah. Just give way, right? Give way. Do you write? Yeah, that's basic. That's basically it. Yeah. Give what do you write? Give whatever, and give way to whoever's in the roundabout and whoever gets their first as right of way. It's not that complicated. And please indicate if you're turning. And the indicator, yeah, it's obvious, but, and another thing she said, another thing she said, which I found interesting, is it was apparently where, I don't know if it's every state there, but where she was from, I think she said California or something, are you allowed to turn left at a, at a red light? Okay. Nope. You're allowed to turn right at a red light and they drive on the right hand side. So it's left for, yeah. So it's left for us. Yeah. Yeah. So, so I'll give you an example. So you've got a red light for straight ahead, right? And you've got oncoming traffic. Apparently that red light there, right, means like, if it was here, it means that even though you've got a red light and there's traffic going, like through a crossroads, go on the opposite direction, you can take that left turn. And at the same time, I think that's a bit silly, but I'm like, that, that doesn't make sense. But at the same time, I'm like, well, actually, if there's no traffic, why wouldn't you be able to turn left? Yeah. Yeah. That too. Like, why wouldn't you be able to go through the lead and turn, go through the red and turn left? If this, it would make things so much easier if you could do that. Yeah. I, I saw one of those videos about like five things you should know about Australia before coming here. And it was a Canadian woman. And I just like, you, you want to say number one, you want to say it like Brisbane, but it's Brisbane. You want to say, you want to say Melbourne, but it's just Melbourne. You want to say, lawn Kesten, but it's lawn Kesten. And you want to say Dandenong, but it's piss off. Who tested, who tested them? But it's piss off. Because it's Dandenong. The joke was actually the best of the long joke was just don't get a Dandenong, which is apparently Dandenong. It's got a bad name now, because it's, well, it's got things, nong in it. I don't think it's that. Nothing wrong with Dandenong. That's where I picked up my rental. Oh, good for you. Yes. Good for you rental. And then when I got, when I pulled the rental out onto the main road, because it's a rental. I know. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. No, I've been extra careful with this thing. I mean, I can play that next time. I was trying to say, what was it? Oh, wait, I can't. Uh, yeah, no, I forget. That's all right. All right. Yes. Well, I think that about wraps this episode up. Was there anything else you wanted to finish up on, but anything else you want to add? No, not really. How's that life? That's it. That life is good. Piece of piece. I've got, I've got that life. You've got that. I've got that. That real good life. You're the dad of the year, father of the year, best dad ever. I am the best dad ever. You're definitely one of the best. Jackson, I always tell it. I said, like Christian said to me the other day because I went to a friend of a mutual friend's birthday and he said to me, he has dad life and I go, you know, just being the best dad in the world. And he goes, Oh, you know, you're in a room for fathers. And I got, and I said, yeah, but I was saying it before I was going to be a dad. I knew I was going to be the best dad ever. I just became, and I said, I just became the best dad when I, when I became a dad. Yes. Definitely. Oh, that's what I was going to say quickly before we got on to do with this, that stuff. I don't know if you realized or we've done this before, but since we've been recording our last few episodes, I've actually rotated, well, I've changed my room around a bit. So my computer was over here now to over here and my desk. Okay. So I just thought, Oh, yeah, I can see that. You can actually see my door over there used to be over there. Yeah. Yeah. I can see. I can sort of see what you've done. Yeah. But you'll see. It's hard to, it's hard to tell because it's reversed. But good. Good luck with the editing because my mic actually disconnected just then as you were talking through a little bit, I can't wait to do this. It's fine. It's fine to make it easy for you. No, I've got nothing more to add other than, yeah, dead life is good. The only thing is, Courtney was saying to me, it's a little bit too, she's like, I'm expecting things to kind of like, what's going on? It's not really that bad. So. Why do they get older? Why do they get older? That's when it happens. Yeah, that's what I keep. I keep telling because because we spoke to the nurse and they said, Oh, some babies cry for like three hours for no reason. And what I found confusing is, I'm sitting there going, how can a baby cry for three, like you try crying for three hours for no reason like it's pretty hard. You should fall asleep pretty like after and he gets, he, he cries for like 10 minutes and he cries himself to sleep. So I don't know what's going on. Yeah. Yeah, they tend to do that. No, no, no, I mean, I just caught, he'll cry and Courtney's like, I don't know what to do. I'm like, give him here and then I just ignore. I just sit there on the computer with him next in my arms next to me going, ah, ah. And I'm just like, yeah, all right. I literally don't like tune him out. And then I look at him like five minutes later and he's, I've just seen a lot of Facebook rules recently where it's dad versus son, where it's like, one of them was, my son was about to beat me in a round of golf. But then when he went to the pot, I went and kicked his ball and there was another one down, we let me win it, will you let me win at Murray Kart? And he's like, sure, and then the pants of the kid being ready to focus and the pants are actually the dad, he's next minute dressed in full on drive and race a kid with a helmet and puts up the middle figure of his kid. I'm like, I'm going to be that kind of day where I'm like, I'm like, my child beat me at a game or something. Yeah, I'm going to be that kind of dad. Maybe. I don't know. Good banter. Do you know that I'll tell you something funny, because I watched, I got onto a YouTube video where a YouTube channel where a guy does rants about stuff and so far, the two rants that I half watched, one of them was, one of them was about this person who used to be a Disney child star and now that they're adult, they're sort of trying to move their content further into more adult sort of stuff, but they've kind of gone in a really weird sexual area. Like they haven't slowly walked into it, adult content. They've kind of, when I say adult, I mean like more mature content, but instead of slowly walking their content into that sort of that more audience like transferring, they've just jumped straight into like Lady Gaga fashion sort of and all that sort of stuff and trying to like do weird, just weird stuff on stage, like chugging a full bottle of alcohol. And at one point, they even point out that, hey, there's a little girl here. What's she doing here? It's like, well, most of your audience until like three or four years ago was little girls or little kids, but it was quite interesting because the second video of this guy, I watched part of that this guy released was about that little kid Ryan's Toy Reviews channel. You know the big. Yeah, what was it Ryan's World? Yeah. Yeah. And literally made his own Mario Kart version. It's like Ryan Kart or something. Okay. But what I didn't realize is because obviously I saw this, like you see this kid's channel ages ago and you're like, oh yeah, it's just a little kid who does toy reviews, right? Yeah. But what you don't realize is he's 13 now and he's still doing the same stuff and it does not, it does not look like the guy played a couple of clips of these videos. And it was like looking, it's like looking at an adult man trying to be a hip, hip kind of like, oh yeah, I got my riz like that kind of thing. It's like, that's a perfect example. If I was to say walk up to someone and say I got riz or something, you go, I mean, it just feels weird for me to even say it. That's what all the young people are saying now. These days, like the riz and all those stupid words, but you can tell it's gone that far because people make TikToks where it's where they play his clips and it says, it says let bro retire. Let him, let him go. He's done. Yeah. We'll finish right now. Yeah. We've something. Yeah. No. Hey, I was going to stop anyway. So it's all. But it's weird to think like a few years ago, I was still like, oh yeah, that's a, that's a channel that my kids might watch one day. Yeah. Look at us now. Yeah. We're finishing. Okay. No. Oh, someone's in trouble. Did she turn off the light and did you stop recording? I'm still recording. So for, for the audience at home, if Jackson doesn't edit this out, which he probably will, cause he's a little, cause he's a little, yeah, no, I hope not. His wife's come in, turned off the light to his room and is forcing him to end the podcast. All right. I'm done. Finished good night - Well, now do it.
