[00:00:20] Speaker A: Hey, everyone, how we going?
[00:00:23] Speaker B: Good evening.
[00:00:24] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:00:24] Speaker C: Good evening.
[00:00:26] Speaker A: Yeah, welcome for another one. Um, yeah, finally got it all working. There we go. And I got. I just realized that on the, um, the screen where that has a pair of old jocks when no one's on the screen. Um, my microphone is still open. It should be closed when that's up. And so if I sit there swearing and cursing that screen, everyone can hear it. So anyway, welcome.
[00:00:48] Speaker D: Add spice to the program.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: Yep. Welcome, welcome.
[00:00:51] Speaker C: That's it.
[00:00:52] Speaker B: It's a very exciting week. It's state of origin too. It's in Queen. It's not in Queensland but it's big. Yeah, it's on every news channel and it's very exciting. 48 hours and we sit down with midweek babies.
[00:01:05] Speaker A: I don't know what you're talking about.
Hey, what's everyone drinking?
[00:01:16] Speaker D: I've got the.
[00:01:17] Speaker A: Can I go? Yeah, I want to.
[00:01:19] Speaker D: Gin?
[00:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:21] Speaker D: So I picked up this one today. It's called bolter Cerveza.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:01:27] Speaker D: Um, and I'll give you a look at it, see if I can.
[00:01:31] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:01:34] Speaker D: It's a beautiful bottle.
[00:01:36] Speaker A: Just careful the way you stroke in that bottle.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: That's why you're single.
[00:01:43] Speaker A: Alright.
[00:01:46] Speaker D: No, mate, it's an absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous bottle with a little smiley face. Um, it's not a parallel. It's. It's like a lager.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:57] Speaker D: It's a bit like a pilsner. It's a bit like a Pilsner actually.
[00:02:01] Speaker C: Um, mexican lager.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: It's a corona. Corona?
[00:02:05] Speaker D: Yeah, it's. It's a. It's got a slight, um, slight lemony foretaste. But it's really crisp and really dry and it's not bad. It's not probably not a winter beer.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: But do you remember KB?
[00:02:19] Speaker B: I didn't like it. I tried it. Didn't like it.
[00:02:22] Speaker D: No, it's not hoppy enough. You and I like stuff that's really, really hoppy and it's not. There's no. You can't taste any hops. Yeah.
[00:02:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
Do you remember KB beer?
[00:02:33] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:35] Speaker B: KB.
[00:02:36] Speaker D: Nothing vaguely.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: It's been a gold can.
[00:02:39] Speaker D: Kalgoorlie bitter.
[00:02:40] Speaker A: No, that's from New South Wales. It used to be in a gold can. It used to be like back in the day, back in the seventies and eighties. KB? Yeah.
[00:02:49] Speaker B: What are you drinking, Michael? The west.
[00:02:54] Speaker C: I've actually got a homebrew tonight so I've got one of my, my creations.
[00:02:58] Speaker A: I. Lovely looking drunk, I was gonna say. Yeah.
[00:03:01] Speaker C: Yeah. This is actually very good email. So it's a. It's basically a.
It's malt driven, it's not hoppy at all, but it's an ale brewed with a lager yeast to make it a little bit fun. So the lager yeast typically likes to be fermented a little bit cooler, around 14 degrees. But with this one, you throw the lager yeast in and ferment it around about 18 degrees, like a normal ale. So it creates this, what we call a California common or a steamer. So, yeah, it's very, um. Yeah, I'm happy that kegged it yesterday and it. Some tasting. Tasting. All right, cool.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: It looks quite flat. Is that a standard appearance or is it losing?
[00:03:46] Speaker C: No, I think it's just got. It's just got not great head retention. When I poured it, it was like big thick head, but it's not. It's not stuck around, unfortunately.
[00:03:52] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: Is that caused through the actual beer or would that be caused through dirty glass? Like, how is that? And this is obvious. It can be a bit of both questions.
[00:04:02] Speaker C: Yeah, no, this, this one would be more. Not, not a dirty glass, but definitely I'm just. The beer itself, I probably could have done with a little bit more wheat in it, maybe. Bit of better brewing process to keep that, um, to keep those proteins in there to keep their head. Head retention around. Like we were talking about last week when we. With the lacing, you see it down the glass. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This one. Clean glass. Ship brewer.
[00:04:30] Speaker D: Next time, next time, next time.
[00:04:33] Speaker C: Always, always be better. Always be better.
[00:04:38] Speaker D: Oh, Paul, we got comments.
[00:04:39] Speaker A: Yeah, working. Yeah, I've got them working. I just. Yeah, yeah, I didn't mean to.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Well, there's nothing there, but anyway, the.
[00:04:46] Speaker C: Lines that just said hi.
[00:04:47] Speaker A: Yeah, said hi. Said hi, everyone.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: I thought that was Paul.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: You know, I did. So, anyone, um. If anyone gets logs in on the YouTube, they can make comments and we can get them. We'll get them.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Well, let's hope they're all good.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Well, let's hope someone tunes in first.
[00:05:02] Speaker D: Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
[00:05:05] Speaker B: You can't.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: Yeah, let me message my mum. I'll get her on.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: What are you drinking, Paul?
[00:05:16] Speaker A: I'm just drinking the same as last week, the three lilies, ginger gin.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Oh, I've got the pink. I've actually tried the three lilies. It's quite nice.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: I just haven't had time to get to the bloody bottle shop.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: I'm just like, I'm going to commit. I think I'm going to commit. If I get time on Mondays, I had a bit of a think about last week's and I think we need to celebrate the beers and the drink of the west, even though I'm in the east and maybe hit in the dams and just buy a couple of different stubbies each for each Monday event.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: I've got to do the same thing. But I've got a question. Can you send beer in the post?
Yep.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: No, I'm not that broke.
[00:05:56] Speaker D: You couldn't in my day. I mean, a normal person like you and I, sending a liquid in post was not really like that much. Oh, no, hang on. Sorry, I am wrong. If you sent it normal parcel post, so it was road transport. It was not a problem.
[00:06:13] Speaker C: Yeah. You can send it through a straight post. Yeah.
[00:06:16] Speaker D: Yeah. It's been a long time since I would work for business Post, so.
[00:06:20] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right. Yeah.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: The reasons for.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: Oh, I was gonna say we could get some. Some from some of the breweries around and we could all try some of the breweries that by some of the award winners from the awards the other week.
We could do our own, we could do our own tasting and then we can say, yeah, you know, do I.
[00:06:42] Speaker D: Be interested in Mike's take on it nowadays? Because it has been a number of years since I've been in business post and I did miss miss speak. You can send liquids in parcel posts, although it's got to be nicely wrapped and all that. But what's the situation now with sending stuff? Obviously you can't send it in, Al, can you?
[00:07:01] Speaker C: Well, I think these days you could definitely send beer and wine and everything through the. Through the mail. A lot of courier systems now, I think, like even Australia Post have their courier systems and things like that and. Yeah, yeah, we breweries have. Especially when the pandemic hit, breweries pivoted into being able to send their stuff out to their customers via the mail. And yeah, you gotta.
You run the risks, you know, thing like, you gotta make sure it's all wrapped up nicely. You could lose a few beers here and there, but if it's all done right, you can do it at a pretty reasonable cost as well.
[00:07:34] Speaker A: Get it. Get an Uber to deliver it.
[00:07:37] Speaker C: You could do that too, to be honest.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: Just not to Jimmy.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: Jimmy gets. Have you got Jimmy Getz over there?
[00:07:45] Speaker C: Oh, yes, Jimmy brings. Yeah, I think Jimmy brings it. I think it started over here. You don't really see it around. Not like you do in Queensland.
[00:07:53] Speaker A: Does he? Does he drive a Hyundai getz?
[00:08:00] Speaker C: No one was making. No one was making a rings.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: I was expecting that. That's like an owl joke. But he got. He's the wicked.
[00:08:07] Speaker D: Yeah, you know. Yeah, the door was open. It's like I thought. Yeah, it's not that fucking funny.
[00:08:14] Speaker A: When he gets to the door. He gets to the door, rings the doorbell, goes, bring, bring.
[00:08:22] Speaker D: Oh, that's even worse.
[00:08:23] Speaker C: Oh, jeez.
[00:08:25] Speaker D: Who invited this guy anyway?
[00:08:29] Speaker A: I just want to get into the. Our copyright infringement. So I got the last one.
[00:08:33] Speaker C: Yeah, I nailed it, didn't I?
[00:08:35] Speaker A: Yeah, you got one, but you got the same song. Got done twice. Yeah, but it's only counted. Do we count it as one or two or two?
[00:08:42] Speaker D: No, it's got to be two.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Two, right.
[00:08:45] Speaker D: Two different platforms.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, ours leading on four, Brad's on two, Michaels on two, and I'm on one.
I thought it was pretty good, though, getting two with the same song last week. That was. It was pretty good.
[00:08:58] Speaker D: Did anybody choose any songs this week?
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I did. And I'm just. I'll put the first one on for you. All right. And I've got a pretty good.
Yeah, I've got a good.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: How do the infringements work, like, in terms of who is it? Like somebody's listening and they go, hey. Or is it like a bit of a.
[00:09:14] Speaker D: There's an algorithm.
[00:09:15] Speaker C: Technology.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah. They'll check the waveforms and shit of the audio and I'll go, this is a match with this. And then.
[00:09:23] Speaker D: Yeah, works.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: So people out there need fucking lives if that's really what their job is.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:09:37] Speaker D: If you play something, the artist should get some. If an artist has created something and you play it as part of your thing that may be monetized or not, the artist should get some sort of royalty if they deserve it.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: Yeah, but they will. If they get monetized, they will get a share that. What happens is our share of the profits go to YouTube, share of the profits go to the artist, and the share of it goes to us to divide up. So we'll probably end up dividing up about two or $0.03, which is great. Yeah, yeah. Here's.
Yeah. Rodio. This is the first song.
[00:10:13] Speaker D: I love. Belinda.
[00:10:15] Speaker A: Belinda Carlisle with Belinda Carlisle. Have you seen her? Playboy magazine edition.
[00:10:23] Speaker C: No.
Physical copy.
[00:10:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got a physical copy of.
[00:10:33] Speaker D: It on it now.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll get it.
[00:10:37] Speaker D: I've got four screens here, so I'm.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: On it right now.
[00:10:40] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I can. I'll get it. Get it out.
[00:10:43] Speaker B: There's Allen, his triple b's.
[00:10:45] Speaker A: Yep. Yep. Linda. Linda and Belinda.
[00:10:49] Speaker C: Can I. Can I guess your theme for tonight?
[00:10:52] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:10:52] Speaker C: All the artists are named after a suburb in Perth. No, Belinda Carlisle.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: I wasn't that crazy.
[00:10:58] Speaker C: I'm running out of suburbs after that.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Can I. Can I get it? Can I guess?
[00:11:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: Can I have an early guess?
[00:11:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:04] Speaker B: All the main. Main singers. Or main singers. I've gone solo out of their own bands.
[00:11:13] Speaker C: They've all been in Playboy.
[00:11:14] Speaker A: No, no, that was the biggest clue.
[00:11:21] Speaker B: All right, kudos to us. Early shots.
[00:11:26] Speaker D: I'll give you a tip and Brad knows it. Um, she is one of the best artists to go see live. Even if you don't like the music, go see her live. She plays small venues.
[00:11:39] Speaker A: Yeah. And she can't dance with you.
[00:11:40] Speaker D: I've. I've never seen anybody who enjoys performing as much as she does. And you get this sense when she's on stage, she has this whole vibe going where she is, like, come and see me. She has this sort of vibe and she enjoys herself so much.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: She's fantastic. I took my daughter and my ex wife down to see her in Mandurah and my daughter absolutely loved it and so did Belinda. When she saw that there's a young, young girl in the crowd dancing and knowing her music, it was amazing. But have you read a book?
[00:12:15] Speaker B: Was she your ex wife at the time or is that the reason she is your ex wife now?
[00:12:18] Speaker A: Probably the reason.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: Because you had your copy of Playboy for her to sign your pen.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: What? Do you sign this?
[00:12:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: You're gonna need a bigger pen.
Have you read a book?
[00:12:40] Speaker D: Alips unsealed?
[00:12:44] Speaker A: Yep, yep.
[00:12:46] Speaker D: I've got it around here somewhere.
[00:12:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Have you seen the driver? He's never found it.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: But she's coming back. She's gonna be in September, I think.
[00:12:54] Speaker D: She plays in the west. She always plays at the Esther.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So she.
[00:13:00] Speaker D: And I'll be there.
[00:13:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've got tickets. I've got tickets for me and someone else to do the photography work, so.
[00:13:09] Speaker D: Well, that's right. You were talking about that, weren't you?
[00:13:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:11] Speaker B: Is it a Monday night? Can we do it live from the aster?
[00:13:14] Speaker A: Oh, no, I don't think you imagine, but, yeah.
[00:13:21] Speaker C: You'll have to rub the autograph off the last playboy you got.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: Is it supposed to be like this?
[00:13:30] Speaker C: Why are these pages stuck together? What's going on here?
[00:13:33] Speaker B: Hello, mister Summers.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: I'll tell you what, boys, it's just for the article.
[00:13:40] Speaker D: What if we go on Amazon? If we go on Amazon, we get a copy of that magazine dare pull.
We'll pull it. We'll dare pull $50 to go up to with the Playboy and ask her to sign.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: Oh, you get kicked out. Hey, you would. I reckon you need a bit more than $50, but considering the photography. You're only there for the first three songs. You could do it after taking photos if you got kicked out of dinner.
[00:14:08] Speaker D: Hey, I'm not doing it. I love her, so I don't want Belinda Carlisle to hate me for the rest of her life.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Do they get.
[00:14:18] Speaker C: I would probably. I would probably fuck up and go, have you seen Belinda Carlisle? Like, are you her nana or her mum? And old get kicked out or something?
[00:14:28] Speaker A: She's not looking too bad for her age either, but she looks good.
[00:14:33] Speaker C: I'm gonna have to google her now, aren't I?
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:36] Speaker B: How old is she?
[00:14:36] Speaker C: Current pictures?
[00:14:40] Speaker D: She's just a little bit older. About 68 or something.
[00:14:45] Speaker B: Yeah, she looks right.
[00:14:47] Speaker C: Oh, she looks fantastic.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:49] Speaker C: Really?
[00:14:49] Speaker A: You can see her in Playboy 65.
[00:14:52] Speaker C: She is 17 August 19th.
[00:14:54] Speaker D: Yeah, I told you.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: She looks.
[00:14:58] Speaker C: She looks fantastic.
[00:14:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:59] Speaker B: Looks really good. Song two.
[00:15:02] Speaker A: Song two. All right, what have we got? Song two. Oh, this is a good one. This I used to play. I played this at, um, leisure in.
[00:15:10] Speaker C: Oh, it's half naked women. That's what you're going with?
[00:15:13] Speaker A: Close, but no.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: Black and white field place.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: No.
Do you know the song?
[00:15:19] Speaker D: L.
Yes, I do.
[00:15:22] Speaker A: Sorry. It's a remake. It's like a cover.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: It's to do with weather. Weather and rain.
[00:15:33] Speaker A: That's why.
[00:15:40] Speaker C: The rain. Yeah. Come on.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it's rain. It's got it. Yeah, the rain.
[00:15:47] Speaker D: What's the beddy's lined up?
[00:15:49] Speaker B: Dragon.
[00:15:49] Speaker D: Don't you go out in the rain.
[00:15:51] Speaker C: I have too.
[00:15:51] Speaker A: I've got that coming up.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: Nice. So what, what. What copy of flavor was she in?
[00:16:02] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't know.
[00:16:04] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:16:05] Speaker A: Yeah, but I want to ask a question and probably it's gonna be different for answers from each one of you because obviously Michael wasn't. Hasn't. Wasn't. Hasn't performed as a dj.
No, but he has done a factually. I want to find someone. Ask Al and Brad how they felt the first time they had to get up on stage and perform.
And then Michael, if for you.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: Hey, boys, we got dj. What's the performance here, mate?
[00:16:38] Speaker A: Perform. Get up. Working at Zelda's or something. But. But Michael's version, what was the, um. How was it the first time you had to produce a beer and had a public tasting of your beer?
How did it feel the first times that you?
Anyone? Anyone?
[00:16:57] Speaker B: What you talking about? Beers or.
[00:16:59] Speaker A: I want to know from our, like, what's the first time you got up djing? How was it? How did you feel?
[00:17:05] Speaker D: Um.
[00:17:06] Speaker A: What? Did it go smooth? Did you fuck up? Did you, uh.
[00:17:10] Speaker D: No, probably. Probably not DJ. Because, you see, I spent a lot of, um.
I had a couple of others who were friends. The Owens, David, Davey and Billy and their family were lovely. Mum and dad were lovely and they had this games room and everybody used to go to their place. And I had this record collection and I used to practice djing there. I'd do parties there amongst our friends. So much so that I went down to Tandy. If you remember, Tanley became Dick Smith.
There was a mixer that was powered by nine volt battery. I went and bought that and I was djing for a long time in front of my friends.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:17:54] Speaker D: The actual first time I did it for real was at a wedding that I was asked to do. And it was. It was no big deal because I've been doing it for so long.
[00:18:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:04] Speaker D: But what I can remember going on stage for the first time, I was in a. I was lighting technician for a show.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:14] Speaker D: A community theater show. And I distinctly remember the.
At the final, final show, the director, the producer, dragged everybody, including all the backstage people, out on stage. Tape, bows.
[00:18:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:32] Speaker D: And that. I remember that clearly. That was my first time really doing something like that in front of a big crowd of people. And have you ever had that feeling where you're so nervous you can feel your legs shaking inside your trousers and.
[00:18:47] Speaker A: Your clacker feels gum?
[00:18:52] Speaker D: Yeah, pretty much. You know, your clack is sort of squeezed up and going, give me this or something.
I had.
I had that feeling. And yet the weirdest thing.
Anus needs to talk to you for a minute.
But the funny thing is, now I've been on stage so often and, you know, performing, not just dj, but all that, it's nothing to me now. And I do remember doing one show and one of the, one of the, my colleague actors said, alan, you are just the calmest, coolest person on stage. You are just so chill. And he's like, oh, I'm always nervous. And, you know, this guy been doing it for 60 years. Yeah. I went from that, my legs shaking in front of my ear just to take a bow. My legs shaking inside my trousers. Yeah, no big deal.
[00:19:54] Speaker A: Yeah. So I remember the first video interview I did was with Joel Turner from. Joel Turner, the modern day poets. Remember him?
[00:20:02] Speaker B: No.
[00:20:03] Speaker A: Yeah, he was a beatboxer and guitar he was on got Talent, I believe.
And.
Yeah. I don't know. Something like that. Anyway. No. Was it. Was it, um. Australian idol. One of them. He's friends with Mark Holden here anyway. Yeah.
What about you, Brad?
[00:20:25] Speaker D: Everybody's friend. Everybody's friends with Mark Holden as long as they're male.
[00:20:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: Yeah, well, that's true. I. I started with Brandon.
[00:20:32] Speaker A: So he's friends with.
He is. He is. He produced some of her music. Yeah. I'm mad about you. The album, Belinda, he. Some of the songs.
[00:20:43] Speaker B: Oh, there you go.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, you. You and Brandon, the terrible.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Yeah, so Brandon was doing kids town. Kids Town in Rockingham, which I think is now called PlayStation. In Rockingham.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: Just.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: I think PlayStation does. I think it's called PlayStation.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: I think it's all closed down. Yeah, that's probably all closed down.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: Yeah. So that was whenever that was. I think it was the early two. So it's probably. It will go 20 years ago. And old sister pretty much is.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: He's lacking. Yep.
[00:21:10] Speaker B: Standing. And then he had to go to Singapore for an urgent family trip for a week. He goes, mate, it's all yours. And I've gone get far.
So I was there on that in.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: Front of all these.
[00:21:22] Speaker B: Thankfully, the microphone was off and I did a couple of songs in front of him because they were just kids.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:29] Speaker B: And breezed it in the following week. Happy days. But my first wedding.
Yeah, I did the old, you know, really tight ass, nervous, leg shaking sort of shit.
And I think it was probably the first intro where the toilets are and what your food is and all that sort of shit. And then as soon as I got to that one, only that first time I was MC, I got straight into the formalities and then it was just water off a duck's back.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: So it's just that initial, hi, I'm Brad. This welcome, blah, blah, blah. But then when you got the formalities and then from then on, everyone back, I can just get on stage now and MC best man at a mate's wedding in Perth a couple of weeks.
Exciting.
[00:22:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: A lot of people get the stage fright, as we probably all wear, but I'm pretty much, like, out.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Just natural and what just.
[00:22:22] Speaker C: I could probably talk a little bit to, like, just the call it performance, but in beer, using beer is a thing. So, like, I've worked a lot of time in sales and operations and, you know, and it all. Everything you guys describe all comes down to that. Your confidence, the end day, doesn't it? And you. And if you're presenting or talking about something that you're passionate about and so on, you're the one that holds the confidence. So once you, you get past those, your leg could be shaking that. Once you get past that. Yeah. So I've definitely had times where I'm representing a brand and been put on the thing. Okay, go talk about our five beers, you know, with a crowd of people, whether it's, you know, 20 people or 100 people, things like that. Brewing beer. So at Indian Ocean, like, the first, the first couple of months of, you know, me being on the kit and taking over the beers, and you've got a bunch of locals who come in, like, literally daily, every week. And, you know, they've got their favorite, whether it's the pale ale or the lager or whatever. And in your head, you're just thinking, don't fuck this up. Like, you know, because they'll tell you, what are you fucking done on my pale, Alex? Well, actually did this and it made it better. You know, just don't fuck with it, like, but, you know, it's really lovely. They actually, what happens is they don't tell you. Like, they'll see me and Tom, our head brewer, they won't tell us. So they'll go, oh, yeah, things are tasting great, boys. Yeah, keep up the good work. And then they'll turn to the bar staff. Can you please talk to the brewers? We think they fucked our beer.
[00:23:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: And we did the cream first. Yeah. They don't want to ruin the relationship with you, so they tell the bar stuff instead of you.
[00:24:01] Speaker B: I think yours are really hard, Michael, because there's so many ingredients and processes in working so many beers and so many flavors that you either. I have to know a hell of a lot about a lot of stuff, which I'm guessing you do, but you don't. People just don't know everything about everything. So you either, in your line, you can't kind of make something up because they might remember and go home and then blow their kegs up. Who knows? So you're lying.
[00:24:30] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: If I do a presentation holiday, it's easy.
[00:24:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:24:36] Speaker D: It's, um, on the same note, Brad, um, as a chef, and then it does speak to what Brad was saying. You, you're probably designing this in your head or whatever, and you've got to go through all these processes and. And to my imagination, their closed processes. You'll probably get what I mean in a minute. Me as a chef, when I'm cooking something, I can constantly taste stuff, get a spoon and go, needs a bit of this needs a little bit less of that. I need to do a little bit more of this.
It's an organic, interactive process, cooking. Whereas beer. You're kind of. You. You close that keg for a while and you're kind of. Well, I hope my recipe is right.
[00:25:23] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right. If anything, it's probably closer to being a chef, like in. But you're right because you can. You can change something on.
On the go, on the floor, like you said, I can add a bit of salt or whatever, whereas. But coming up with a recipe and beer, and that is very similar. But the problem then being is that you have to. You've got the closed loop process. You go through it and then you've got to get, you know, say, a week. In you go, oh, hang on, this is fermenting. Funny. I wonder what this flavor is. I wasn't expecting that. And you can do things to adjust on the fly, but not. Not quite as organic as that, but, yeah, but it's very. It's very similar. Creating a recipe in beer and producing it and delivering on it is about balance and getting the right things that you can. You can't just go, and I'm going to make a 12% beer and it's going to. You've got to balance your sweetness and your bitterness and things like that to get the right result and make it palatable for the customer.
[00:26:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Cool. I can imagine it'd be unimaginable. Well, not unimaginable, but, yeah, it'd be hard because it's just so.
[00:26:28] Speaker C: The fun thing is, it's funny, like, so we might have ingredients where we're out of something and we'll go, it might be a certain hop. And we always make, you know, say, lager with that hop. And we go, right, that hop, that hop. And the customer's sitting there going, don't you fuck with my beer. And we run out of the hop. So we substitute.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: You put a rabbit.
[00:26:48] Speaker C: We get a different hop that does. It. Does the similar thing. It just has a completely different name. Might come from a completely different part of the world, but if we do our job right, they technically shouldn't. They won't notice the difference, if you know what I mean. So, yeah, I can just imagine all.
[00:27:03] Speaker D: The time in chefing.
[00:27:05] Speaker A: All the time pulls a hair out of his beard.
That's where we get our hop.
[00:27:13] Speaker C: That's still war. Now.
[00:27:16] Speaker D: That was a good one, Paul. That was a good one. We've got to pay that.
[00:27:19] Speaker B: It was a good one, mate.
[00:27:25] Speaker A: I'm going to put the next song on before Al goes for his power. Alp break.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: Belinda Carlisle concert sold out here.
[00:27:34] Speaker C: Foo fighters, cold day in the sun.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: Nah. Billy Myers, kiss the rain? Because the first one I've been in the car was, like, your first, um.
First concert I took me daughter to, Barry was. I played that. I was the first one to play that. Leisure in kiss the rain was a song I listened to all the time after my first divorce bit. Algo.
Oh, there he is. He's throwing his shit around.
Yeah.
[00:27:58] Speaker D: Airport full. I'll tell you what. On the Singapore Airlines flight back to Australia in. In March, my AirPods fell out of my ear. One went one way, one went the other way, and I had passengers scrambling under a seat trying to find my earpods.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: How do they just fall out? Have you got, like, big ears or something?
[00:28:16] Speaker C: Your eardrums explode with excitement?
[00:28:19] Speaker B: Yeah.
Is that playboy?
[00:28:22] Speaker A: Mate, he's clacking, mouths punched up, and the pressure's coming out his ears.
[00:28:27] Speaker D: Sudden rush of blood to the ears.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Anyway, this is great song. Yeah, it was great. Everyone I knew at the time had a big crush on Billy Myers. And you found out that she was lgbtqia plus.
[00:28:46] Speaker C: Okay, I had no idea.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: Yeah. But I think she. I don't know. I haven't researched it for a while, but, yeah.
[00:28:54] Speaker C: Then again, I had a crush on the savage garden guy till I found out he was gay.
[00:28:57] Speaker D: Oh, my.
[00:28:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:28:59] Speaker B: I hate that you had a crush on the savage.
[00:29:04] Speaker C: I was like, he doesn't even know how good looking he is, this guy.
[00:29:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I do. So does my boyfriend.
[00:29:11] Speaker D: Did you see how I found out Brad was going because he closed his eyes when I kissed him?
[00:29:18] Speaker B: $20 is $20.
[00:29:23] Speaker C: Can I. Can I tell you guys a joke that I heard? Um, so this. Do you guys remember the comedian Norm Macdonald? No, I've just. Okay.
He's got this cool voice as well. Um, anyway, he was telling this joke. Um, he passed away a few years back, but he was telling this joke. It's his dad's favorite joke. And it was, um. His dad's bought a farm. He's moved to a farm. He, like, retiring a bit, and one of the neighbors comes over. Hello. It's really great to meet you tonight, you know, to celebrate your move into the neighborhood. Come over. We'll have some. Some drinks and some nibbles and so on, and it'll be a wonderful little night. He goes, oh, yeah. And he goes, not gonna lie to you. There'll be a bit of drinking. There'll be a bit of fucking, there'll be a bit of fighting. And he goes, oh, okay, cool. He goes, all right, what time should I come over? He says, I don't know. It'll just be the two of us. Whenever you're ready.
[00:30:16] Speaker D: Actually, Paul and Brad, if you ever get a chance, look him up and look up some of his stuff.
[00:30:24] Speaker A: Went to the leisure in the other week just to have a quiet beer. I was on my own seven. A quiet beer. And I was at the barn. Wasn't that crowded. But there's this. I know one of the barf was there. Spun around and we spun around or something.
I freaking forgot what I was gonna say.
[00:30:45] Speaker C: Beer. You spilled beer on it.
[00:30:49] Speaker D: Remember the punchline and tell the story.
[00:30:53] Speaker A: He's turned around and gone straight into me and he spilt my beer. And I'm like, all right, mate. Cuz we're at the Leisure Inn. We have to go outside now and fight about this. And the guys turn around. He said to me, he says, I'm a lover, not a fighter. So I kissed him. Turned out he was a fighter.
[00:31:20] Speaker C: I tell you, you fucking screwed the pooch on that one. But when you got there, it was really good.
[00:31:30] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't know where that joke come from, but that's not my original joke. That's someone else's joke, so.
[00:31:36] Speaker C: That's gross.
[00:31:36] Speaker A: It's in the cranium.
[00:31:37] Speaker D: The Antarctic, mate. Bit like Scott of the Antarctic, mate. You fucked it up, but you got there.
[00:31:47] Speaker C: Oh, that was great. That was gold. I can't wait to tell that one.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: Right, um, we've passed ours. Um, pal. Lp break.
Is he gonna go? Does he need to go?
[00:31:59] Speaker D: No, I'm on empty, so. Yes. That's all you got?
Talk amongst yourselves.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:07] Speaker C: Do you know, I don't want to, um. I don't want to be derogatory to bolter because I think they're wonderful people. But the, you know, the old joke is like, um, drinking, like, say, a Budweisers, like, having sex in the canoe because it's fucking close to water.
You could. I didn't want to use. I didn't want to use bolts as a food. That.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: Yeah, is pirate life. Are they? Wa.
[00:32:33] Speaker C: Pirate life for Adelaide.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: Adelaide.
[00:32:37] Speaker C: But there is a. But there is a pirate life in Perth. On Murray street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I went to a dinner there on Thursday night. It was wonderful.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: Be the big Tomahawk steaks.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I gotta go. I'm going out to dinner tomorrow night after I get off. You're gonna go sort out on me clothes. Come to a fancy restaurant tomorrow. But. So what's so good about pirate life? They're just advertising everywhere.
[00:33:01] Speaker C: They're just good. They. They came out of the. They came out of the gates back in 2027. No, 2014. So they're ten years old. Yep. So, um. And they just came out with great beers. They've sort of built the brand from, you know, immediately to. To sort of scale. Yeah. And they just had some really great success from the start. They, um, they won what's called the Gab's hottest 100. So they. They did really well in that with their mosaic IPA and then that just sort of the trajectory after that went off. And because they based themselves out of Adelaide, they sort of deliberately did that. It gave them the distribution model until the states, and then it wasn't long into their game and cub came along and offered them a big chunk of change to keep doing what they're doing. Yeah.
[00:33:51] Speaker A: So they're owned by big brother now.
[00:33:55] Speaker C: Big B brother, yeah. Yeah. They. I can't remember what year it was. I want to say 2018 ish. Maybe they've been around for about four or five years and then they got purchased.
[00:34:03] Speaker A: I suppose that's what the idea is. Once, when you're an entrepreneur, you want to take your little business and grow it so that someone does come and give you a lot of cookies for it. So. Good on them.
[00:34:12] Speaker C: Yeah. I think purchased by the big players is tough. Like, you know, there's not many people who are getting that sort of. That look in.
[00:34:21] Speaker A: Have you seen Colin from accounts?
[00:34:24] Speaker B: We're starting it tonight after this is. We're starting it. Absolutely fantastic. Love it. Very funny.
[00:34:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
Series one or two, Brad?
[00:34:34] Speaker B: Uh, series two. We've already seen series one.
[00:34:36] Speaker A: Yep. Yep. That's good.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: Did you know that their husband and wife.
[00:34:39] Speaker A: Yeah, yep, yep.
[00:34:41] Speaker C: In real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:34:43] Speaker A: Oh, cheers.
Yeah.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: That'S right.
[00:34:49] Speaker D: I was gonna say Brad and I have friends and they're old school friends of mine, but Dave, the male part of the partnership, he just developed some software and programs and all that. And, yes. Older. Sold it for squillion. They are so rich. And honestly, they probably spend about five or six weeks in Australia.
[00:35:13] Speaker A: Yep. What's that?
[00:35:14] Speaker D: What was it one time? Uh, I actually don't know what it. What it is that he developed, but he sold his business and, um. Yeah, they just travel the world now. He's so freaking rich. It's actually. It gets annoying on all the posts on Facebook. Oh, we're in Iceland now.
They're lovely people.
[00:35:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Sorry to. Sorry to buddy. Now I'm just on the Belinda Carlisle website and Perth, September 18. Sold out.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:35:43] Speaker D: Already.
[00:35:44] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's been sold out for ages because it was, um. It's been rescheduled because she was supposed to come over and she had to cancel the show and she's rescheduled it. So these are from the tickets.
[00:35:54] Speaker B: September 18, general public.
I've got two shows over here.
[00:36:00] Speaker D: Not going.
[00:36:01] Speaker A: No. Well, I've got a ticket. Ticket to go. I got a spare ticket camera and take some photos.
You'll get front, you'll get front row. You'll be in the run. You won't be in the mosh pit. You'll be in the run. Right up. You'll be nice and close.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's for the first three songs. And what does he do after that?
[00:36:19] Speaker A: He just comes back and goes into the crowd.
Yeah. Has fun. You just got to put the camera away. You can't camera. But I'm gonna be taking me my camera with me as well, so.
So it's, um.
[00:36:33] Speaker D: Sounds like a plan.
[00:36:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Just have to see how we go. It'd be good. Yeah. Anyway, let's get the next song underway. Song number four.
[00:36:41] Speaker D: No, I know what this one is.
[00:36:43] Speaker A: What?
[00:36:44] Speaker D: Any gift dragon.
[00:36:48] Speaker A: I could change it.
[00:36:49] Speaker B: No, no, that's not fair.
[00:36:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:58] Speaker D: Yeah. If the rain came in while I was djing on a Thursday night, you.
[00:37:03] Speaker A: Wouldn'T want the rain coming in.
[00:37:05] Speaker D: This would be. This would be my last song.
[00:37:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah.
[00:37:10] Speaker B: This is. I think it's track three. Through the roof compilation, 1983. Track three.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: But he's. He used to have, I don't know if it was his girlfriend or wife. Back in the eighties. She used to be a hairdresser and she kind. My hair.
[00:37:26] Speaker B: Not really.
[00:37:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:28] Speaker D: Glad you cut yours and all. His.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: Dead now, isn't he?
Poor bugger.
[00:37:34] Speaker D: Yeah. Throat cancer.
[00:37:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:37] Speaker D: Long, long.
[00:37:38] Speaker A: How long ago?
[00:37:40] Speaker B: In the nineties, wasn't it? Early nineties.
[00:37:43] Speaker D: Mark and Mark Hunter. Date of birth.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:47] Speaker B: I'm going. Listen, let's do it again thing. I'm going 94.
[00:37:52] Speaker A: Oh, no, it wasn't. Wouldn't be 94.
[00:37:57] Speaker D: He was 44 years old, so. Oh, that's what you made.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: Was that 2004?
In the 2000? Early two thousands, late nineties, nada. Mike.
[00:38:11] Speaker D: Mike's sort of sitting there going, what the fuck are you guys talking about?
[00:38:14] Speaker B: He's going, who the fuck is Mark Hunter?
[00:38:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Nah, it's. Mate, he'd be. If he was alive he'd be 67, 68 now, you reckon, al, you got the date of birth up there?
[00:38:27] Speaker D: No, I've got the date of death, but I'm gonna work it out. Oh, shit.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: Should be 174.
[00:38:33] Speaker D: He was born 64. He was born.
[00:38:36] Speaker B: Right, so he's 60 this year.
[00:38:39] Speaker D: He would have been.
[00:38:40] Speaker A: So if he died in his forties, would have been 2004.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: So 16 years ago. 2008.
2006. Sorry.
[00:38:49] Speaker D: Jesus, you guys are crap at maths.
[00:38:52] Speaker A: You said 40 if he started.
[00:38:54] Speaker B: You said he died when he was 44.
[00:38:56] Speaker A: Yeah, and if he's 64.
[00:39:00] Speaker D: Died when he was 44 and he'd.
[00:39:05] Speaker B: Be 60 this year.
[00:39:08] Speaker D: Sorry, 54 years.
[00:39:19] Speaker A: What year was it?
What year did he die?
[00:39:25] Speaker D: 1998.
[00:39:27] Speaker A: I said. I just. I said late nineties.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: You did, you did, you did.
[00:39:31] Speaker D: But then you went straight on to.
[00:39:33] Speaker A: Two thousands from 98 to 2004. Late nineties, early two thousands. I said he did. Yep, yep, yep. Our sleeping naps. He napsey with his eyes open.
Oh, Mike's gone quiet.
[00:39:50] Speaker D: You've gone quiet, mate. You've gone on mute because.
[00:39:52] Speaker B: Yeah, no, no, he just doesn't understand. Mark Hunter.
[00:39:55] Speaker A: Yeah, he's gone. He's gone quiet.
He's going, why they fucking gone quiet?
[00:40:01] Speaker B: Are you there, Mike?
[00:40:03] Speaker D: No, you can hear us?
[00:40:05] Speaker A: Can you hear us? We can't hear you.
No, we got nothing coming from. What?
[00:40:10] Speaker B: No, got nothing.
[00:40:12] Speaker A: Nothing.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: Charge your phone.
[00:40:13] Speaker A: Yeah, nothing from him. There you go. That was dragon.
[00:40:18] Speaker D: He's probably just log back in, right?
[00:40:20] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, log out and log back in.
[00:40:24] Speaker A: We could do your voice for you. Just move your mouth.
Hello, Australia.
Mister Summers. Mister Summers.
[00:40:33] Speaker D: It's a very fab, fab father because it was.
[00:40:38] Speaker B: It was black Blackman's funeral this week. So it's a very ironic that we can talk about Dicky knee.
[00:40:44] Speaker D: No, actually, no, I'll do Michael's voice.
[00:40:53] Speaker A: He's taking notes. Out. Be careful.
[00:40:57] Speaker B: I was gonna say he's not moving much but he's actually disconnected.
[00:41:00] Speaker A: Quick screenshot. Screenshot it.
[00:41:04] Speaker D: Look, look, captain, ask the porthole. It's your own color. You're so bold.
[00:41:11] Speaker A: No, no, he's back.
[00:41:14] Speaker D: Oh no, you echo. You know, we've got.
[00:41:16] Speaker A: Hang on, say something.
[00:41:17] Speaker C: You got. You got anything?
[00:41:19] Speaker A: Yep, yep. Yay.
[00:41:22] Speaker C: There is a bit of an echo, isn't it?
[00:41:24] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. That's probably good.
[00:41:26] Speaker D: You're in a garage, mate.
[00:41:28] Speaker A: Yeah, but what we gotta do, we're gonna get a little logo or something when Al goes for his pee break so we can bring up the Al's pal. Alright?
[00:41:40] Speaker C: Maybe our pee breaks should be sponsored by pale Al every week.
[00:41:44] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:41:47] Speaker D: Sounds like a plan to me.
[00:41:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:41:49] Speaker B: Just don't do a guinness because it won't be a number two.
[00:41:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
So where's the best place to get. I've got a BWs and a Dan Murphy's. Where's the place to pick up local craft beer from?
[00:42:05] Speaker C: Not. Not those two. So, no, no. In all fairness, they do stock some good local breweries and from over east as well. But if you can shop your celebrations and your liquor barons and other independently owned brew bottle shops, those are your best bet.
[00:42:23] Speaker A: I'll have to find one. So.
[00:42:24] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Where about to live?
[00:42:26] Speaker A: Rockingham.
[00:42:28] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So if you had.
I assume this isn't far. Excuse my post. Past Perth knowledge.
Kwinana beach liquor.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Well, that's miles away from me. I don't go that far from holiday.
No one goes to Kwinana. That's like. It's like going to redfern or something. They go, what?
[00:42:48] Speaker C: Some reference, Rocky. Yeah, there's. There's lots of good ones out.
Celebrations or liquor barons and stuff like that.
[00:42:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. What did you do?
[00:43:00] Speaker C: Great locals.
[00:43:01] Speaker D: I just emailed you an image.
[00:43:03] Speaker A: Emailed me one? Yep. Cool. Is it safe to look at?
[00:43:08] Speaker C: Not safe for work.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: Well, it can't be that safe if.
[00:43:11] Speaker A: You'Re not gonna put it live on asking me.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: Podcast.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: Be pretty hard to get it up in here.
[00:43:17] Speaker D: Oh, no, I've got a better one.
[00:43:19] Speaker A: I've got it.
[00:43:20] Speaker C: Thank God.
[00:43:22] Speaker D: Oh, no, no emails. It's a Paul Sagittarik or whatever.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It'll come through eventually. Takes sweet ass time. By the time you get through all the virus checkers and everything else, so.
Yeah, yeah. All right, what do we got? We got one more song.
[00:43:37] Speaker D: The second one's better, mate.
[00:43:39] Speaker A: I just gotta wait for them to come through. When they come through, I kind of.
[00:43:42] Speaker B: Feel like a little bit of a spare dick in the desert here. Like you two got your own little conversations and, well, down here at the bottom going, what the fuck are they talking about?
[00:43:49] Speaker A: Why? Don't know until I get it. I won't know till I get it.
[00:43:52] Speaker C: Exactly.
[00:43:54] Speaker A: So the drink west drink best logo we got there.
[00:43:58] Speaker C: You do. You do.
[00:43:59] Speaker A: Yep. Do you want to run us through the drink west drink best?
[00:44:02] Speaker C: So. So I think I say to you guys last week, so we, as the West Australian Brewers association, we represent all the any breweries in Western Australia, but then drink. But that's very internally focused on the industry. So drink west drink best is our external focus on the on the consumer to help them understand that. Well, one, hey, your beer is made here in Western Australia. If you buy from that brewery, you're supporting local and so on. So. So it's our. Yeah.
[00:44:30] Speaker A: Is it on the cans? Is it on the cans?
[00:44:33] Speaker C: Um, some breweries have thrown it on their cans. They're welcome to do it. We do not charge for it or anything like that. Um, they're welcome to do it. Every year we usually put out a, we pull together a 16 pack carton where we'll feature and we'll pick beers that go in it from all the different breweries around WA. We encourage that they are a member of the association to be part of the package. And then that 16 cube will usually go through somewhere like a liquor barrens. So liquor barons will help us distribute it and get into all their stores and people can pick it up for around about $59 a cube. And they can experience, experience a little bit of Western Australia in different styles of beer and different locations.
[00:45:15] Speaker A: Oh, wicked. Sounds like that.
[00:45:19] Speaker C: I've actually just got last, sorry, late last year's one. I've actually just. There was a few leftovers. I've actually just got them delivered over to the brewery. So I'll organize to get you guys one each.
[00:45:29] Speaker A: Oh, nice.
[00:45:30] Speaker C: Brad's. Brad's will definitely send it through Australia post. Most of them will disappear but Alan falls off. Should be a little bit easier.
[00:45:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Now what we're going to send you.
[00:45:40] Speaker C: To Brad in case one disappears.
[00:45:42] Speaker B: Well, well, well. What you could do is if Al can get hold of it, I'll be over there in three weeks.
[00:45:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:48] Speaker C: Oh yeah, of course.
[00:45:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:49] Speaker C: Well let's do that. We'll organize here to Alan. Yeah, you can pick it up there. Yeah, that'd be great.
[00:45:53] Speaker A: Next thing we want to do, we've got to organize doing a stream from the brewery. Brewery.
[00:46:02] Speaker D: We're going to go up when Brad was over.
[00:46:04] Speaker A: Yeah. How good's the Internet connection?
He's got a wink.
[00:46:08] Speaker C: It's pretty good.
[00:46:09] Speaker A: Do they have a table connect from the wedding? Yeah, pretty sick. We can commentate the wedding.
[00:46:17] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, like that. Like the royal wedding or something. And here comes Brad.
[00:46:22] Speaker B: So sorry to bust first your bubble, boys, but it's the gauzy hotel so make sure you lock your cars.
[00:46:30] Speaker C: You assume we're gonna drive.
[00:46:35] Speaker D: You fool.
[00:46:39] Speaker C: We're going on the train after midnight.
[00:46:42] Speaker A: They've got fancy ankle, ankle bracelets that got a little ready.
[00:46:48] Speaker B: There's a lot of spare ones in the car parks on them.
[00:46:53] Speaker C: He's at her bracelet.
[00:46:55] Speaker D: I don't know, you guys, if you guys have ever done it. But the train from Armadale and the last bus from Fremantle to Rockingham are a thing to behold. I've done them and they are.
They're interesting.
[00:47:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Let's get the last song in. See if you can guess this last one. It shouldn't take out too long. Bread, maybe, but.
[00:47:19] Speaker C: Counting crows.
[00:47:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's got on the fucking picture.
The title. The title of the songs on up there.
There's no film clip for this.
[00:47:37] Speaker B: So let's put the album up there and see if you can guess it.
[00:47:40] Speaker A: Well, that's not the album. That's not the album.
[00:47:42] Speaker C: It's a best of. It says.
[00:47:44] Speaker A: Yeah, because this song is actually on the August and everything after album.
So it's a cool song. Yeah.
[00:47:56] Speaker B: I reckon. I would have guessed down and cried. I still don't know the neighborhood song.
[00:48:04] Speaker A: What I've noticed is the audio of the songs haven't been really high up in the recording. So I'm just.
They are my headphones.
[00:48:15] Speaker D: This is b side of Mister Jones.
[00:48:17] Speaker C: When's he gonna say rain?
[00:48:18] Speaker B: Sounds like it. Hunter.
[00:48:20] Speaker A: Here he comes.
[00:48:24] Speaker C: There it is.
The mailman. Always delivering.
[00:48:33] Speaker A: On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of every other.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: I put that as your first song because that would have thrown us all out. Yeah, we would agree.
[00:48:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: We never would have got Playboy. There's nothing on there.
[00:48:45] Speaker A: Well, see, this is a song I want to be played at my first burial. Funeral.
So there we go. These are the first.
[00:48:51] Speaker B: Oh, your first one.
[00:48:52] Speaker A: Yeah. I intend coming back and haunting every fucker.
[00:48:58] Speaker D: Say somebody believes in reincarnation.
[00:49:00] Speaker A: Well, some of them are more like an exorcism. The second one was.
[00:49:06] Speaker C: You might have been a radio dj in a previous life, I reckon.
[00:49:09] Speaker B: But the third. Old jock.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
I always say you got to remember you're the asshole in someone's story.
[00:49:17] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:49:18] Speaker A: No matter how good you are.
[00:49:20] Speaker C: Yeah. If you look around a room and you can't find the asshole in it.
[00:49:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:24] Speaker C: It's usually you.
[00:49:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
There you go. I just got one of ours. Pictures, people. I've got to do something better than that. I've got to do something way better than that. It's got to be like.
It's got to be an owl. It's got to be a picture of an owl.
I'll wait till the next one comes in. I've got the first one. The second. The first one looks like something out of a freaking brokeback mountain. But we'll leave it there.
[00:49:52] Speaker B: Oh, that's our.
Trust me, we've shared rooms in Bali and $50 is $50.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: What happens in Bali? You're supposed to stay in Bali.
[00:50:13] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:50:16] Speaker C: Me and my mate and the wives did that once. We did the whole swap thing and after about 30 minutes I turned over to Ben and said, I wonder what the girls are up for.
[00:50:33] Speaker D: You're screwed. If the wife ever watches this mike.
[00:50:39] Speaker B: He can join the ex wives club.
[00:50:44] Speaker C: I've given her so many reasons to leave. She hasn't done it yet.
[00:50:54] Speaker D: You like my magazine?
[00:50:58] Speaker A: No.
[00:50:58] Speaker D: You're lucky. You should be like Brad. He collects wife as a hobby.
[00:51:01] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I've had.
[00:51:03] Speaker B: But I've only got. I've got my own account at the family law court.
[00:51:06] Speaker A: How many ex wives you got?
[00:51:11] Speaker B: Uh, three.
[00:51:12] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I've only got two, but I could be lined up for more as I just line them up in this.
Yeah, but you got to see, people don't understand, Brad. You've got to share the love. It's not us. It's not us. We're just sharing the love. It's not us. We're not the.
[00:51:27] Speaker B: Takes a while to, you know, to find your number one.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I think.
[00:51:31] Speaker C: I think I'm with you, Brad. I don't. I don't think everyone has one soulmate, so just go nuts.
[00:51:35] Speaker B: No. Yeah, go nuts, mate. Speaking of going nuts, if any. Did any of you guys see Tina Turner the musical when it was in Perth?
[00:51:44] Speaker A: No, I don't do musicals.
[00:51:52] Speaker D: Came out.
[00:51:55] Speaker B: We're going next week. I got decks of tickets for a birthday. Yeah, so we're gonna go see Tina Turner, their musical.
[00:52:03] Speaker A: Just wipe your forehead.
[00:52:05] Speaker C: She's not in there, though, right?
[00:52:07] Speaker A: Just what I'm for.
[00:52:08] Speaker B: Why?
[00:52:09] Speaker A: There's a big thumbprint right in the middle of it.
[00:52:13] Speaker B: I tried that. Is that still there? Because I thought it would have been.
[00:52:20] Speaker D: Don't you pick on more?
[00:52:21] Speaker B: No, I'm actually hanging.
[00:52:25] Speaker A: She's a Carlton supporter, isn't she?
Long? Oh, yeah. There you go.
Yeah.
It could be worse if she was a Collingwood supporter or a West coast supporter.
[00:52:44] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a worry.
[00:52:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:52:48] Speaker C: Too many jokes.
[00:52:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Correct.
[00:52:55] Speaker A: Now, if you're not supporting, the dog is. You're just not following football.
[00:52:59] Speaker D: Man.
[00:52:59] Speaker B: I reckon they'll slip in the pool.
[00:53:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
I've said from the beginning of the season that it's the Sydney Fremantle grand final.
[00:53:10] Speaker B: No, you're pulling your dick.
[00:53:12] Speaker A: No, no.
[00:53:14] Speaker B: You watch Sydney Carton.
[00:53:16] Speaker A: No, no.
[00:53:17] Speaker C: How do they. How do they go? Last time was that Sydney last time.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: Who? Where?
[00:53:23] Speaker C: Frio. What was it?
[00:53:24] Speaker A: What was he?
[00:53:25] Speaker C: No, big. Years and years and years and years ago. Freeo were in a grand final.
It was Hawthorne. Sorry? Hawthorne. That's right. Sorry, yeah.
[00:53:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:34] Speaker C: That was Eagles. Eagles was Sydney.
[00:53:36] Speaker B: They. They kicked themselves out of the game.
[00:53:39] Speaker A: We do that every week. So there's nothing.
Yeah. There you go.
So what we got planned for the week? Anyone got anything exciting planned for this week?
You're breaking up, Brad.
[00:53:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:53:54] Speaker A: Yeah, mate.
[00:53:56] Speaker B: You watch, right? You watch. On the very rarest of occasions that can win.
[00:54:01] Speaker A: Can't hear him.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: You listen to the mighty fucking blues.
[00:54:14] Speaker C: All I know is it's that. It's that one. One day of the week where everyone in Perth, apparently is now a tui's new fucking drinker.
[00:54:21] Speaker A: That's the Melbourne cup.
Isn't that the Melbourne cup?
[00:54:26] Speaker C: Forex gold.
[00:54:32] Speaker B: About ten years ago, this is how much Perth was behind. But now they're all good. We to do State of Origin live, we had to go to a pub that had a satellite via Darwin to watch it live.
[00:54:42] Speaker D: Yeah. This is only ten years. Yes.
Darwin or New Guinea. Darwin or New guinea.
[00:54:48] Speaker B: Yes, correct, correct. And it was. It was like fucking. You could tell it was satellite, but now it's that big. Australia wide.
[00:54:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, everything is.
[00:55:01] Speaker D: Actually. Can I tell you guys a quick story?
[00:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:05] Speaker D: You know, Melbourne cup day, biggest day for. It's one of the biggest days for pubs.
[00:55:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:12] Speaker D: And I spent so many years, 2020 years, easily, in the hospitality industry and planning for Melbourne cup day, it always involved meetings. And it was months and months and months of planning. Every pub I ever worked at, months of planning for Melbourne cup.
So now I'm no longer in the hospitality industry. It's like Melbourne cup comes. You want to be in the sweets bar, humbug, fuck off kind of thing.
I am so no interest in the Melbourne cup because it was so intense.
[00:55:47] Speaker A: Al says nup to the cup.
[00:55:51] Speaker D: Not to the cup.
[00:55:52] Speaker A: What's that? Um, is it tash test? Um. Oh, that.
[00:55:57] Speaker C: Yeah, the vegetarian.
[00:56:02] Speaker A: She's great. She's great. She makes. If every Australian had the commitment that she's got to stand behind something, Australia would be amazing place.
[00:56:13] Speaker C: She'd also be a bunch of vegans.
[00:56:18] Speaker A: When we go to Mars. When we go to Mars, what are we gonna do? We can take a cow with us. Are we gonna take vegan patties? We'll take the vegan patties.
[00:56:24] Speaker C: Very true. Yeah.
[00:56:25] Speaker D: But anyway, I shoot vegans on shy.
[00:56:30] Speaker A: So I was actually. I was vegan for about eight years. I was vegan for about eight years.
[00:56:35] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:56:36] Speaker A: And, uh, yeah, no, it was. I never felt better.
[00:56:40] Speaker D: But here.
[00:56:42] Speaker A: No, that's not the hair.
[00:56:43] Speaker B: I was just thinking the same, Brad.
[00:56:45] Speaker A: You don't.
But anyway. But I reckon her commitment, her level of commitment to believe in something and go forward. If it's Australians did that with everything they believed in, Australia, we'd have a fucking riot nation.
[00:56:58] Speaker C: But you don't need to. You don't need to be obnoxious to have belief and correct. Like, I can talk about drinking local beer, but I'm not perfect. And I buy beer that's not local too, so. And I don't need to jump down your throats about it, you know?
[00:57:11] Speaker A: Yeah. I think the way she does it.
[00:57:12] Speaker C: Al wants to buy shit from Aldi. Go fucking nuts.
[00:57:15] Speaker A: No, no, Audi. Don't shove it out. I'm anti Aldi. No way.
[00:57:19] Speaker D: What a fucking asshole. I like you.
[00:57:28] Speaker A: Profits go.
[00:57:29] Speaker D: You were mine.
You were mike three years ago. Yeah.
[00:57:34] Speaker C: Audi is where I get all of my frozen chicken nuggets and elliptical trainers. I don't know where you guys are shopping.
[00:57:41] Speaker A: I got me welding rods from there.
[00:57:43] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly.
[00:57:45] Speaker A: Come up with a carton milk you want.
[00:57:47] Speaker C: Pack them yourself when you got to the other end.
Yeah. For some reason I have a three in one jacket that I didn't know I needed.
[00:58:00] Speaker A: Keep all your vegan snacks in there.
[00:58:09] Speaker B: Now when I'm in Perth. Guys, I did realize this last week that we did brief and touch base on catching up somehow, but I fly in on a Tuesday night, I fly back on a Sunday morning. So I'm not there for a Monday. I'm here over here in Brisbane on the Monday podcast, and I'm not there on the Sunday. If we wanted to do a Sunday session at, um, the ocean reef or indian cafe, whatever it is we're talking about, but we kind of like, fuck with two sticks on.
[00:58:35] Speaker C: Your attention to detail is. I love it.
[00:58:38] Speaker B: It is, isn't it?
[00:58:39] Speaker D: Second of all, looking like, is it the bucks nine?
[00:58:43] Speaker B: It's. No, but it's the night before the wedding, so it's all the groomsmen and the. And they the groom and all that. We all catch up and have a dinner and the bees and whatever the normal formalities, actually.
Hang on. No, stop. Time out. Time. No, I'm actually going out with Brandon. DJ.
[00:59:03] Speaker A: It's going to go out with Brandon.
[00:59:06] Speaker B: No, Brandon's djing a basketball game, not the Redbacks, probably. I don't know. No, that's the Calamunda squeals. I don't know.
[00:59:18] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:59:19] Speaker B: And. And I didn't really get excited. Trust me, guys. I did not get excited.
All. And Alan would understand this, that when a mate is in need, a mate is in need. So you gotta. I gotta.
[00:59:33] Speaker A: Should just talk him out of it. You could have talked him out of it. That's what mates do. They talk him out of it.
[00:59:42] Speaker B: So I have. I have given up Friday night of socializing with all friends to be with one friend. Yeah, that's my lovely serendipity for the week.
[00:59:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Friends don't let friends go to basketball.
[00:59:58] Speaker D: Depends on what the roster is. You know, I could do a weeknight, but I know you start early, Paul, don't you?

[01:01:09] Speaker A: Well, we. Al and myself can rock up and we just still patch in Brad.
He's gonna miss out on all the fun stuff. Yeah.
[01:01:18] Speaker B: And, Al, did you forget about coming over to Brisbane? Because I was just thinking then that Belinda Carlisle was assuming it was available. Was the 18 September. Last I checked, you were coming over here on the 17 September.
That's fucked him.
[01:01:34] Speaker C: Just gonna run the Louvois.

[01:01:49] Speaker A: Yeah, well, we're gonna wait. We're gonna wait for Michael to come back before we say Cheerio.
[01:01:51] Speaker D: Okay?
No, it's a blackout lead period. And it's. And it's grand final weekend. I think people have booked leads before me. So I'm still waiting on my team. My team is waiting on somebody. Maybe grand finals.
[01:02:07] Speaker A: Who you going for?
[01:02:10] Speaker D: No, I'm coming here for grand final weekend. Are you going senile? You know, but who's coming there for grand final weekend?
[01:02:18] Speaker A: Yeah, who you go for?
[01:02:19] Speaker D: Paul?
[01:02:20] Speaker B: Did you. Sorry, Paul, did you just hear Al go, I'm waiting for a blackout period and now he's gone. I'm there for grand final weekend. You heard that, didn't you?
[01:02:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:02:28] Speaker D: No, no, you were not hearing me correctly.
I. My intention was always to go to your place for grand final weekend.
[01:02:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's place in my place.
[01:02:40] Speaker D: Brad's place. That period of time is a leave blackout period.
[01:02:45] Speaker A: Also I leave blackout, not leave.
[01:02:47] Speaker D: Grand final weekend. So a lot of other people have already booked their holidays well before me. My team leader is so it's not an automatic approval. So my team leader is waiting because she thinks there is somebody who's going to be canceling so I can have more. But at this stage it's probably going to be a no. But if I can get it, yes, I will be at your place. Grand final weekend.
AFL grand final weekend.
[01:03:16] Speaker A: Not rugby league, is it? Rugby league grand final.
[01:03:19] Speaker D: No, the Monday. It's the week before September. Public holiday. Doesn't matter.
[01:03:22] Speaker A: Brad's gone now. Now Brad's gone. He's gone and walked off.
Look what you've done. Although you've done.
We need a security guard here to keep Al in check.
Oh, this would be good. On the week. Brad spits the dummy and storms off on the, like on the.
[01:03:42] Speaker D: Dummy. But he came back.
[01:03:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah. What's he doing? If you listen carefully, you can hear him do something.
Brad is checking. He's checking the dates. He's checking the dates.
[01:04:00] Speaker C: Just see the calendar like a normal.
