00:00:49
Speaker
Yeah, how's things, Cuzz? Well, good. It's been a long time between drinks, obviously. um But hard to wrangle the cuzis up these days. But everyone's living in their own lives, I guess. But thank you for being here with us this evening.

Gaming Upgrades and Setups
00:01:09
Speaker
Caro's going good, is it, Kaz? Yeah, no, thanks for having me on. And no, Caro is going good.
00:01:16
Speaker
Made some upgrades, got a PS5 instead of the old PS4 that I've been rocking my sim on. hey I had a bit of a steering wheel upgrade as well. So, yeah, it's all good out here.
00:01:28
Speaker
Nice, nice. I haven't actually spent that much time out here, though, but, yeah. So the that's ah that's a significant upgrade you were talking about, the old PS4 to the PS5. There's notable differences so far.
00:01:46
Speaker
Yeah, it was like our same off-air. um i mean, really noticeable was the the loading times, very quick. You're not having to wait in between races and things like that for that annoying loading. Yeah.
00:02:02
Speaker
Yeah. i Speaking to upgrades, I've upgraded as well. I've gone to PC. Yeah. so but multi-purpose use obviously for a bit of uh podcasting but a gaming i've got a lot about the main reason i've been wanting to do this for a while is just get all of the photos and videos and cloud storage and drop boxes and what have you all just onto one physical device i've got you know my uh media history
00:02:36
Speaker
of all the photos of the boys and all their performances and all that sort of shit you know just backed up and safe on a hard drive primarily so but yeah loving the pc as well again the load times non-existent
Retro Gaming Nostalgia
00:02:48
Speaker
pretty much just straight into everything uh on the pc or the the one i'm sorry two terabyte hard drive i've got yeah yeah so i think we've got like 200 gig on there so far Or from one computer, one old computer that's, you know... Man, it's just running on the smell of an oily rag, I think, at this stage.
00:03:12
Speaker
Doesn't have a battery in it, because the battery's shit, so we just run it straight off the power. So all those old devices, eh? Hard case, though.
00:03:24
Speaker
Running a UPS on your... um On your PC there? No, not yet. Not yet. That will be on the cards, though. I think I've definitely got surge protection and that sort of thing yeah on the power board.
00:03:37
Speaker
But you got the PC about a month ago. first game... um I really played on it. was a PC version of Guitar Hero but because I've still got all the old guitars.
00:03:53
Speaker
Got two guitars. like the Yeah, yeah. So ages ago, I bought a little dongle that you can plug your old guitars into PC. So I pulled that out. um Yeah, so all the games, are all the songs you can download now are all free anyway.
00:04:09
Speaker
but Varying quality of... um you know custom songs or custom tracks but yeah straight into your retro gaming so yeah yeah it's been good love love retro gaming hey like um i actually reckon ps2 had some great games like um time
Modern vs. Retro Game Sizes
00:04:30
Speaker
one of them like we used to um that was one of the only things i wag school for we um wag school went down to um
00:04:40
Speaker
what was he not a video back then uh yes i can hide it out and um took around to rory's house and just played it in school time so uh you know that was that was like sweet day so yeah you're just running through those same songs babe I used to take my PS2 and guitar to parties because that's when, um what's that song, the singing one?
00:05:13
Speaker
Singstar. Singstar, that's it. Yeah, that was big as well. So we had the yeah the singers in one corner and the guitar hero in the other sort of thing. Yeah. Oh, it's crazy. i have i go I think I've got a PS2 or Singstar in it.
00:05:28
Speaker
Like, you can just basically, like, chip the PS2 by just whacking a memory card in there, like a... I have seen that, yeah. Recently, yeah, Well, no, I didn't recently. I've seen it recently, but... Yeah, you can just... Oh, yeah.
Nostalgia and Lifelong Hobbies
00:05:42
Speaker
yeah I don't know if you have to have the memory card, do you just buy a whole memory card off them? or was it Yeah, you just buy a chipped memory card, basically, which also has a hard drive in it, a solid hard drive, yeah and then bang that into the fucking PS2, all the games in there, even you can download them. I think you can maybe put that memory card into a PC to download
00:06:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty hard. Yeah. You can do a full-time, like, swap out with it. fucking hard drive used to be able to go in the back. or with Yeah, it would have had an expansion bay already there for external yeah devices. and that and Yeah.
00:06:22
Speaker
You can, um
Staying Active and Health
00:06:24
Speaker
like, wherere where they used to use to go online, I think, because that was separate expansion too, wasn't it? It was network-capable. You had to get the adapter to plug into that expansion bay.
00:06:35
Speaker
ah yeah Yeah, but it but could be. The newer ones had an Ethernet port in it, but yeah, the older ones, the OG ones, the big ones. Yeah. I've still got a lot of old old stuff too, like they're they old games and old... um
00:06:52
Speaker
well discs with games on it you know backed up copies of them um yeah which i'm happy i'm looking forward to get into with the pc is is getting all those old games sort of somehow running yep that sort of thing But yeah, I'll... Like, adapter that you can just use the PS5 controller as well on the PS2. You can just plug that into the fucking controller port.
00:07:20
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy you what you can do now. Yeah. I'd love to revive my old consoles, but they're kind of sitting... Actually, I've got a few of
Adventures and Life Lessons
00:07:28
Speaker
them... When I set this room up, when got the PC, I...
00:07:32
Speaker
i um like ah I've got an old PC, I've got a PS2, I've got the original Xbox, I've got the Xbox 360. They're all varying degrees of working or not, but they could be brought back to life without too much trouble.
00:07:50
Speaker
But I don't know where to put the bloody things at the moment. I've just got PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, and they're all working. but Nice.
00:08:03
Speaker
Yeah, and so I could still play the... I don't really see the point in getting a PS1. Because PS2 can play the games and PS3 can play the game. but Yeah, yeah. And better as well.
00:08:15
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. yeah but Yeah, it would have been cool to get one of those fucking 80 gig PS2s or whatever um it was
00:08:26
Speaker
was. Oh, that's a hard drive, isn't it? PS3s, I could say. Yeah, I was... 80 gig fucking PS3, the one that um but could play the PS2 game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
00:08:41
Speaker
Yeah, it's crazy now, eh? The 80 gig was like, man, that's heaps games. That's like one game these days. Yeah, yeah. I'm seeing this this remastered Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, 45 gigs it needs.
00:08:54
Speaker
Yeah. All the up-res textures and shit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think even the fact that even if it was the same game, right, they hadn't up-res'd it, but the fact that it has to scale up the res would surely make the game bigger as well, wouldn't it?
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah, they
Embarrassing Stories and Budgeting Advice
00:09:12
Speaker
usually, for those things, they usually go back and just oh
00:09:18
Speaker
redo, like to go over everything with a, you know, a new coat of paint almost, but just up-res the, ah not up-res, but they yeah, sometimes they just rebuild the everything.
00:09:29
Speaker
Like, just remake it. Because, mean, like, you can get a version of Mario that used to fit on a fucking floppy disk. Yeah. But you look at how big Mario actually is it like as a game, if, I don't know what it is as a file on a computer, but I'm pretty sure it's fucking bigger than that.
00:09:48
Speaker
Well, cartridges, their cartridges were 8 megabytes, maybe? Even then, they're not that big. A floppy disk is 1.4 megabytes, isn't it? four megabytes isn't it
00:09:59
Speaker
ah floppy disk yeah yeah one point four yeah but um the cartridges and like the mario cartridges there are only like eight megabyte something maybe the original nes one something that yeah oh that's it's it's been a great hobby lifelong hobby of mine so yeah that's like yeah Shit, yeah.
00:10:23
Speaker
You fucking love it. like Like, OG. It's even since I got the old, I think we had a Commodore 64. Or even, someone had an arcade Pong machine at it my nanny's house at one.
00:10:36
Speaker
Atari. Yeah, yeah, Pong machine. And, ah yeah, that was was all over. literally been there since it started but yeah and even i remember because like don't know any other cuz he's maybe sean will remember this um shana i stace or lisa remember but auntie linney rip um she used to sell like
Health, Safety, and Screenings
00:11:03
Speaker
this was when vhs and beta were competing for the same you know, market share.
00:11:09
Speaker
And she had a whole bunch of shelves in her house that she was renting out these Betamax tapes. But she also had an Atari there as well.
00:11:23
Speaker
So, yeah that that yeah, she would, oh, it was crazy. I don't know, we used to go around there and I'd hang around there all the time because I just had all these, like, Betamax movies and, like, games hooked up. We used to sit in her lounge and play them and then, like, in the, don't know, I see, like, um in the kitchen somewhere they had all these,
00:11:41
Speaker
like two sets of shelves. Did she still have those couches back then? Those fucking blue couches and those same blue seats on the, like, dining table? Probably does, like, well, we were sitting on the floor in front of the TV, so, yeah you know, that was all behind us, I guess. Which house was that?
00:11:59
Speaker
Uh, was, uh, when she was living across from the pad on um,
00:12:07
Speaker
uh, off, off the driveway on, um, Yeah, off the drive. Sort of couple of streets up from, is it Kauri? Kauri Crescent? No. yeah Yeah. It's not a Crescent, but yeah.
00:12:19
Speaker
Kauri Street? Kauri. It is Kauri, yep. Yep. Because um the old man just bought a house. Oh, he's got on there. Yeah, yeah, Yeah. Yeah, we pulled in there to see him one day. He had big container on there or something.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah, Kauri. Yeah, yeah, So, yeah, she was living up there. um
00:12:42
Speaker
Yeah, strange. Strange memory, that. But anyway. but iing that's a Gaming started origin story. Pretty much. um I can't think of anything earlier than that.
00:12:54
Speaker
Because then we got a Commodore 64 there at home. and Yep, I've been entrenched in that ever since.
00:13:04
Speaker
so so I'm just looking at it. Yeah, it ah keeps me off the streets, mate. Somewhat. Yeah. Well, are you on the streets on the old electric skateboard still? Yeah, every now and then.

00:14:37
Speaker
Okay, no lasting damage or anything, or? Nah, nah, like, she didn't didn't fall down there. She just, like, went looking down there and stepped out onto the bushes that were off the edge of the cliff, and then she was stuck on the bushes.
00:14:51
Speaker
Couldn't get back. Yeah, it couldn't get back onto the fucking solid land. Yeah. What about your health, cuz? All good? No, nothing to report there?

00:16:01
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. bro But no, it's new. It's only a couple years old.
00:16:09
Speaker
Oh, sweet. So what's the main project you're trying to do or just to have the when you need it kind of thing? um but of that but i'm I'm hoping to finish of up like what I'm up to on my car. So the car modifications, like the sick of trying to find other people to do the work, you know, like may as well just do it myself.
00:16:28
Speaker
he just then pick up obscued along the way and Yeah. Yeah. I'm all for that. day Yeah. I've done a bit of welding already. Like we've done it when I did my apprenticeship, like we've got us through the tickets and all that for it.
00:16:40
Speaker
But yeah,
Birds, Intelligence, and Nature
00:16:41
Speaker
so it's been, I haven't even turned it on yet. I've just seen both. not had the spare time but yeah i'm looking forward to seeing some of your creations in cuzy when you decide to use it if you and mind yeah i'll bet
00:17:01
Speaker
well we did kind of we did sort of um chuck down some things here we wanted to chat about ah now that we're kind of all welcomed and settled in here um Obviously some poor form stories. I've been hiding onto a few for a little while now.
00:17:16
Speaker
Hopefully I can remember them. um But yeah is there anything you wanted to kind of, to areas you wanted to hit first? um ah You got some tips and tricks for us?
00:17:31
Speaker
Because I've got... um
00:17:35
Speaker
the I'm trying to go through the chat, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Well, you when do I can read them out for you if you like. yeah okay.
00:17:47
Speaker
So we've got um in terms of tips and tricks, I think you had ah two areas, um which is probably good for a lot of people out there. Fuel-saving tips.
00:17:59
Speaker
We've also got some tips and tricks about adult entertainment as well. Where did you want to start with
Clever Monkeys and Future Plans
00:18:07
Speaker
either of those? Well, think what people really want to hear first is but where the bottom line is, and that's how to save your fuel.
00:18:15
Speaker
Yes. But this isn't, I don't really have any fuel saving ships. I just noticed a lot of the Cuzzies are, you know, at times running the old number of Ks down low here in the field. Oh, yes. Yes, there's been a few instances, yes.
00:18:31
Speaker
ah She'll be right. All sort of forgotten about it. Yeah. And um it's just more of a tip that if you do find yourself in that situation and you are starting to run out of gas, run out of fuel, I think a key move is to a swerve start swerving the car. okay Okay.
00:18:54
Speaker
what's the logic behind that? Just slosh a bit of fuel around in the tank. Oh, okay. Just whatever's left, you know. Slosh it around. Your fuel pump hopefully suck a bit more up. And might get you out of a bind, you know, that if you if you're stopping somewhere you maybe you don't want to be.
00:19:08
Speaker
yeah it's It's probably going to get you an extra two to three kilometres. Wow. Could make all the difference. Yeah. Yeah, it could make all the difference.
00:19:19
Speaker
Yeah. Swerving, eh? I've seen it done. Yeah, start to swerve. but Might just get you to the gas station, you know.
00:19:31
Speaker
You're in the vehicle, you feel it start to lose power. Starts moving. Are you just maintaining an even acceleration through this ah maneuver?
00:19:43
Speaker
Yeah. No, you're totally off the You're doing what you'd say for you to do, obviously. You're not going to put it down, you know? Yeah, yeah. So you're coasting. I don't want to flow down too much.
00:19:55
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. You need that momentum for the swerve. Yeah.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, the, um... See, you had a story about a hole in the head of Sunscreper. Well, actually, I wanted to pivot because I've got gas story, which probably fits nicely with this one. Because, again, not filling up, and then I kind of ran out of gas and had to go and fill up. But the the scenario is is i was...
00:20:23
Speaker
dropping off the young fellow to work at five in the morning. So he gets up at three or whatever, gets ready so that when my alarm goes off at five, or I can roll out of bed and then jump in the car and take him to the airport.
00:20:38
Speaker
And a lot of the times, because I'm just like in my, you pyjama pants, no shirt on, so I'll chuck on a, you know, whatever's lying around. um This was winter, so it just happened to have a a hoodie there.
00:20:51
Speaker
I chucked on the hoodie, chucked on the jandals, and I was just wearing my... um Pajama pants, but these ones are a little bit, you know, I've got one pair of pajama pants. The rest them are like black, blue, just single color.
00:21:06
Speaker
These ones, they got like blue and they got little cows on them and stuff. So definitely pajama pants. Yeah, just and obviously pajama pants. So those are good. So I rocked in there and I'd forgotten that I'd fucking hadn't filled up the car the night before.
00:21:23
Speaker
So I ended up, I was like, oh, 40 Ks. Like, yeah, reckon I can make can make it back. And then I'll just fill up later on in the day. reckon I can make it back.
00:21:35
Speaker
um Not realizing, you know, once you get in the car, turn it on, you know, you drop a bit of that fuel or recalibrates to, you know, get the actual reading for you. So that 40 turned into 36.
00:21:48
Speaker
Like just driving out of the street, was like, ooh, shit. And so see how I went, got to the airport and I was probably down to five. And I was like, oh yeah, that's definitely not going to make me home. i'm going to have to stop at the airport gas station.
00:22:06
Speaker
And so fuck, was like, fuck, I'm in my hoodie, I'm disheveled, got my but for flip flops on, my jandals on, and um in my sort of half,
00:22:20
Speaker
awake stupor as I jumped out of the car so I thought ah fuck it i'll just cruise in who cares I fucking blew my jandle out So not only was I wearing a hoodie and pajama pants, I had to walk into the server to pee and put my gasp of no shoes on.
00:22:39
Speaker
So I was, bro, what a, like, any stereotype you could have labelled me with would have fit in that moment. I was, but people would.
00:22:51
Speaker
Hey, red eyes. Just waking up in the morning. Chas. Like I was terrible, man. And there was a heap of people there too. And there was there was also, like, two people deep waiting to be served. So had to stand in the server with the bright lights, fluorescent lights, where can hoodie on.
00:23:09
Speaker
I could just stand in there like... In New Zealand, that wouldn't, like, no one would even bat eyelid, but ah in Australia, it's not that common to walk around and bare feet over there, eh? Keep in mind, this is the the gas station closest to the airport, too.
00:23:22
Speaker
So if you've got people leaving and arriving, you know, that are going to stop at that servo. Oh, it wasn't my greatest shining moment, cuz.
00:23:34
Speaker
fucking blown jandal, had to go and be a feed. Fuck. Terrible. But yeah, the, the, that was my poor form story. The, the other one you mentioned is, is not mine.
00:23:45
Speaker
Um, which I can, I'm happy to jump into here if you, if you want tips and tricks for, you know, like after the last, the last, um,
00:23:56
Speaker
potty i did sort of explain about um one of the boys like having a bit of a mishap there out while indulging in adult entertainment yeah and i thought you know just go through a couple of things to just think about uh what if you're ever finding yourself in a place like that yeah so so these are more like best practices Yeah, best practices. Best practices, yeah.
00:24:24
Speaker
Yeah, just if there are any of the young cousins out there listening, you know, moves to make when before, during and after engaging in adult entertainment.
00:24:36
Speaker
Yes. but should they What should they be aware of first, cuzie?
00:24:44
Speaker
Well, step one, before you go there, always go and get cash out. Don't muck around with your F-Postcard in there. that sounds wise, yeah.
00:24:59
Speaker
Yeah, no matter if you're in a relationship or single or whatever, you know, like you want to get cash out. It's just smart. And are you getting ah low denominations as well? oh well but yeah, you you're going to make a budget right there and then ah how much you're going to spend in there, you know. So make your budget, right.
00:25:21
Speaker
Don't go in there, but next rule, don't go in there before 9pm and don't go in there after 12pm or 12am.
00:25:33
Speaker
twelve words So 9 to 12 is your window? What's the tip there? What's the practice there? You can stay in after 12 but don't go there at 12. Oh, okay. So your your night shouldn't start um before 9 or after 12am. Yeah.
00:25:46
Speaker
after twelve a m yeah she So you want to go in there, you know, these ladies are going to come up to ask you if you want, you know, private the dancers and all that.
00:26:01
Speaker
You've got to tell them, you know, look, I'm budgeted. I'm only going to spend this much. and then you don't have to tell them what you are going to spend, but I recommend just saying that your budget is around $2.
00:26:17
Speaker
Around two private dancers, you know? Yeah, okay. Yeah. A good way to test your, or practice your resilience as well, I guess. Yeah. And saying no. And then the other tip and trick is they'll play the music, they'll do the song.
00:26:33
Speaker
Right then, at the end of that, is when you just cruise off to the bar and get get yourself a drink, you know? Because they might not fucking get you on the tipping. Yeah, so you avoid that round of...
00:26:45
Speaker
of tipping for going to the bar. Yeah, when you get up at the bar getting some beers and that. Yeah. Again, budgeting ah budgeting well. and and obviously just don't be a dick in there.
00:26:59
Speaker
Yeah. Always be respectful. But yeah, and just if your mates are leaving, leave at that time too, you know. Leave when you're out of cash, you know.
00:27:12
Speaker
Yes, yeah, yeah. You're there for a good time, not a long time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. avoid any um So any situations where you might end up watching seasons of Home and Away, which is the ultimate goal. Yeah.
00:27:29
Speaker
Yeah, I guess, yes. How has the bro recovered after that traumatic experience? has financially recovered. Oh.
00:27:42
Speaker
But he is a plumber, so, yeah. He's recovered emotionally, physically, but not financially. Well, yeah, you'll never get that money back. yeah True, true.
00:27:56
Speaker
but Think about money. Once you've spent it, you never get it back. Nah, very, yeah. Very hard to. um going back over the chat since we last had a potty there's some other bits and pieces in here as well um
00:28:17
Speaker
I've got, yeah, I'll mention the hole in the head story, but if there's anything else, Kazi, you want to bring up, please do. So this sort of ties into how accident-prone my son where, you know, he was ah victim of the, shit, what did I call it, um horizontal hypertension hyperextension dislocation incident.
00:28:46
Speaker
Yeah. He basically just gave his shoulder in bed and doing God knows what. um and So that all kind of, you know, blowed over. um And then because he's been going out to and nightclubs with the young fella when he's DJing and that, he's kind of like a part of the entourage and that. So he's a bit of a hype man and jumps up on stage and he's kind of geeing up the crowd sort of thing.
00:29:12
Speaker
Yeah. And thankfully, they've they've been pretty safe throughout security bounces or whatever kind of kept all the dickheads away. um But this one night, yeah, apparently some guy was um getting all handsy with the decks, you know, coming up and trying to touch stuff on on the the mixing desk um and was told repeatedly stuff to kind of move away and obviously intoxicated even as his mates were kind of like embarrassed and and that sort of stuff trying to pull him away but for there something escalated and um
00:29:51
Speaker
i think it was, yeah, Byron sort of got this guy and him and another mate got this guy and just sort of dragged him away from the decks after he'd got quite close and started messing some stuff up.
00:30:02
Speaker
um And then I don't know if it was, he didn't say it was really a scuffle. It was kind of like he fell over, the drunk guy tripped and fell over and brought everyone down with him sort of thing.
00:30:14
Speaker
um And so it was like they all hit the deck, he got up, And then he was like, oh, my head feels wet. And then for some somehow, we still don't know how, he ended up with a fucking hole in the top of his head.
00:30:28
Speaker
We don't know. He goes, no, didn't hit anything on the way down. And he's not sure how he got it. But they turn up at our place. at like 3 in the morning and get a knock on the door.
00:30:43
Speaker
We just got to take Byron to the hospital. He's got a big hole in his head. They ended up having to like shave a bit of it and then stitch it up. No, they glued it. Sorry, yeah, they glued it because they couldn't get, they didn't want to shave his head off, well, his hair off.
00:30:59
Speaker
So he's just going to cut away a bit and then glued it. But yeah, fucking random like incident there. He just come home with a hole in his head and then got it glued up. Like it was fine. It wasn't like pissing out with blood or anything like that. But when we looked at it, oh, well it was like a big crack. But I couldn't say if it was cut or just bludgeoned or pierced or what. It was just, yeah, was weird.
00:31:24
Speaker
So yeah, fucking dislocated shoulder, hole in the head. It's not looking good, mate. It's a series of events. Series of events there that are slowly debilitating him.
00:31:38
Speaker
Has he always been accident prone like that? or A little bit, yeah. A little bit.
00:31:44
Speaker
We just put it down to he's just not aware of his size and weight. He just fumbles around. Yeah. But nah, he's all good though. Like my like my big Labrador.
00:31:59
Speaker
Same thing.
00:32:02
Speaker
just but yeah Just a bit of a bumbler. Yes. Yeah.
00:32:11
Speaker
Jeez, what else? I've been trying to remember what's been happening in the Kuzchat Snapchat as well. but That was the other topic I was going to talk about.
00:32:23
Speaker
The shwindow. Oh, the shwindow. Sorry, yeah, I skipped over that.
00:32:29
Speaker
Yeah. um And that's just the window of when you, like, you know, if you're somewhere you're like, damn it, I need to take a shit. And then that's the time to go, you know?
00:32:44
Speaker
And then you and you miss that Oh, yes. You have to wait for later. And then it's not the same. No, you should never ever dismiss that feeling.
00:32:56
Speaker
Yeah. It causes issues down the road. Yeah, but sometimes you you have to, you know, like, you're remote. That's just an end. And you miss your shwindow.
00:33:09
Speaker
Will you be, at like, on farms and shit and out the back blocks? Your options may be limited. most time you know Yeah. Drive somewhere, but, yeah.
00:33:22
Speaker
Yeah, I hate it, man. Because the next, if you try and get it, like, half an hour later, yeah miss You've missed that too. You don't need to have a shit as much. Pig pooping is, yeah, that first shwindow.
00:33:37
Speaker
but the pol There we go. We got a we got a yeah ah podcast title, Pig Pooping.
00:33:50
Speaker
Yeah, good one. Yeah, i guess like I guess the trick is timing that shwindow as well. Yes, yeah, because, I mean, most dudes are probably pretty regular, eh? Like you have the morning yeah morning ablutions and then, ah for me, it's probably like, you know, mid-morning as well.
00:34:08
Speaker
and you know You know, an afternoon banger. Yeah.
00:34:14
Speaker
Yeah, that's the problem is that, like, you know, i don't know always know where I'm working and my and my general shwindow is around that sort of morning. Yeah, yeah, It's, like, um... Does your young fella get up two hours before you leave? Yeah, he's up, like, 3.30, 3 o'clock. Oh, yeah. Because he's, you know... Yeah, it takes...
00:34:41
Speaker
No, just gets up, yeah has a shower and sort of gets ready, just chills out, have some breakfast, that sort of stuff. So he does 6 a.m. to 2. Oh, yeah.
00:34:52
Speaker
Yeah, so only three days a week. so I was like, oh, no. I start work at 7.30. I get have a shower. And have shower.
00:35:05
Speaker
yeah have tell heaven yes did And then get to work, shower, coffee, gone.
00:35:16
Speaker
I'll get up, get home after dropping them off at about quarter to six. So, yeah, that's when I'll do something, you know, i I'll go for a swim or I'll go for a walk or do something like that.
00:35:30
Speaker
Yeah. and Just to kind of, year yeah. Yeah, well. Because no point going back to the edge. Yeah. Probably, yeah. It'll probably bring on a good shwindow as well. Yeah, we'll have probably two shwindows within that time before going to work, you know.
00:35:44
Speaker
um Usually when I get back from dropping them off, like, oh, yeah, a shwindow has arrived. And then, yeah, normally before I have to go out for the day,
00:35:56
Speaker
um which is rare. not and um I work from home most days, so. Shwindows are open. All shwindow, all the time.
00:36:12
Speaker
I'm going to use that word now because you've added it to my lexicon. ahwin Yeah, any need just I made that one up myself just the other day. I was thinking about I was like, damn missed my um you know It's good. Like I said, it promotes good gut health, being regular like that as well.
00:36:40
Speaker
It's like I said, kira naori, you've got to look good look after those sort of things now. um Yeah. Oh, guys, I'll be, yeah, speaking about health, um I might as well sort of share this here just to for no other reason than making others aware, which I didn't know...
00:36:57
Speaker
They did until you get to 50. They do it over here. They send you a bowel screening kit. So you can take a um ah sample, a number two sample, and send that off to, and they'll do blood tests and water like that.
00:37:12
Speaker
um Thankfully, I didn't have to shit in a cup because I'd already been sort of talking to my doctor. um Yeah, just doing the the normal kind of health checkups, uh,
00:37:25
Speaker
blood pressure way too high so on on a bit of pills there um being for blood tests still good there um what else did i get done um oh i got an mri scan just to kind of check the internals see what's going on there um But yeah, got a few other things coming up, but just, yeah, more,
00:37:52
Speaker
um I'm not preventative, but just trying to catch anything early, I guess, if there is anything there. Do they, um today is that something that they just do over there? The bowel screening kits? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As soon as you turn 50, they just send them out.
00:38:09
Speaker
I don't know if it's a national thing, it might be a state thing, but yeah.
00:38:15
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty good. So, um yeah, like just end on any of the cousins out there that are, you know, maybe not feeling themselves or or a bit off, just go and get checked. a couple of hours out of your day,
00:38:28
Speaker
um
00:38:30
Speaker
Yeah, just for preventative or just catch trying to catch stuff early. And, yeah, you know, know you might find some stuff going, oh, yeah, gosh, shit that might give me the motivation to give that up or quit that or, you know, just to have a healthier lifestyle. Are these your health check for the potty?
00:38:52
Speaker
good Yeah, it's only thing you truly have, isn't it? Yeah, that's the only thing you can, yeah, say you can take with you.
00:39:01
Speaker
how healthy body is. Yeah. So, yeah. I've had to do the old shit. I've to do the old shit in the cup and fucking, um,
00:39:12
Speaker
uh, camera down the fucking, camera down the throat. Ooh. I didn't notice it though, to be honest. Oh, they actually put me out for it. I was going to say.
00:39:24
Speaker
That would have been pretty invasive. Pretty crazy. Apparently I woke up halfway through and then just crashed back out.
00:39:31
Speaker
Yeah, there's always always some part of you a that's always sort of conscious, guess.
00:39:38
Speaker
Yeah. I've underestimated how much he's got. no. He's got a high tolerance. Yeah.
00:39:51
Speaker
yeah
00:39:54
Speaker
um Yeah, what else would be going on? there Mitch, I did hear a um bit of a story that Greydog has actually um lost his driver's license there.
00:40:06
Speaker
Oh, okay. <unk> On the way to get Maccas.
00:40:12
Speaker
Under the influence or a technicality or something? Yeah, under the influence, yeah. right. High range, apparently. yeah
00:40:21
Speaker
Yeah, so he's, I think he might have been talking about getting a lawyer. but All right. My recommendation, just fucking take it on the chin.
00:40:37
Speaker
That's what those points are for, right? Yeah. Bit of a buffer. Yeah. Just, yeah, don't worry about paying a lawyer on a drink driving charge unless you've got heaps and heaps of money.
00:40:50
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Yeah, unless you're like, you know, agree with bodily harm or something like that, maybe, yeah, just take it on the chin and and learn your lesson maybe. Yeah.
00:41:02
Speaker
It took me a long time to learn the lesson of driving, doing silly driving stuff. I was talking to Brett and he's like, well, i can't even really say anything because that could happen to me next week.
00:41:14
Speaker
Jesus. I'll tell you what, my old man didn't have that attitude and guess what? It did happen to him that next week. Oh, did it? Oh, shit. I rolled out a month later.
00:41:27
Speaker
But yeah, I think you were saying, i think from memory, does it quite a bit?
00:41:33
Speaker
Who's that? Lionheart. line up Oh, well, he did for, yeah, for a long time. i don't think he does it much now. But, to yeah, no, he was fucking right into it.
00:41:51
Speaker
Man, just confidence, eh? Nah, I'll be so weird as. I'll tell you what, I just struggle just driving in general now, cuz he.
00:42:04
Speaker
Just long trips. To be fair, Like, some days it takes me an hour to drive to where I've got to be for work. And a lot of times it's in the tunnel and it's just so fucking boring.
00:42:17
Speaker
Yeah. So it's just, yeah. Just sitting there and just kind of nodding off. Have to, like, play music and start singing just to stay awake. yeah But it's only, like, an hour. still. It's just nothing to see.
00:42:31
Speaker
It's not good driving, eh? Nothing to see. Like, it's part of my job that I actually fucking drive around quite fast when I'm on the job, you know, and I enjoy it because it's all back countries and windies and all sorts of stuff. Yeah, true, yeah.
00:42:47
Speaker
And you know the roads quite well as well, so. Gravel roads. Oh, yeah. roads Good fun. Especially out those ways. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, like you say, you know them.
00:43:02
Speaker
Yeah. um
00:43:06
Speaker
Yeah, you get to see all sorts of stuff. but Do you um struggle like at night driving with your glasses and stuff like that? Yeah, night driving probably the the worst. like there's some Sometimes I've had to yeah definitely stop just to have a refresher. because it a been good over lot Normally it's coming back from like the Sunshine Coast or coming back from the Gold Coast, which is just the big motorways primarily.
00:43:30
Speaker
Because we we it takes me like two minutes to get on the motorway from where we live. So getting on and off is quick, but actual to that the bulk of the distance is just on that motorway.
00:43:43
Speaker
So it's, yeah, monotonous.
00:43:48
Speaker
do um Are you short-sighted or long-sighted? ah Long-sighted. Oh, yeah, no. Well, ah sorry, short-sighted. I see better up close where my glasses are for distance reading and viewing.
00:44:05
Speaker
Long-sighted is more of that old person one, eh, where they fucking got to hold the paper. Yeah, well, you need to move it away to see it, yeah. I've got to move it closer. Yeah. Have you ever thought about getting the old laser? Yeah.
00:44:21
Speaker
Yeah, i actually spoke to my optometrist about it. And i to be to be honest, honest I think she was just trying to scam me and into keep buying glasses. but Because the way that my particular eyes are is LASIK. She said LASIK will work, but it may only work optimally for about three or four years because your eyes are still kind of changing shape.
00:44:43
Speaker
So however they laser them for that, vision might change over over time. So um that's what she said anyway.
00:44:55
Speaker
But I've definitely considered it. Used contacts for a little while. My mate just got a done it done, eh? I reckon sweet. Yeah.
00:45:07
Speaker
Well, that's, yeah. And it's come down heaps now. Like when I first looked into it, it was like $5,000 per eye. And I think it's down a lot cheaper than that. Yeah, well, it's a lot quicker and safer now, too. Yeah, yeah. He said he was a fleet by the next day, all good.
00:45:22
Speaker
Yeah. No pain. Yeah. Like all. Yeah, its I think, yeah, haven't looked it up in a while, but apparently it's ah a simple procedure.
00:45:31
Speaker
Yeah, maybe I should look into it. i mean, it'll probably last long enough now. These days, getting it done now, it'll last long enough. Well, you know, and have you spent like three grand and it lasted forever,
00:45:44
Speaker
three years, like, that's only a grand year, which is, like, you know? Yeah.
00:45:50
Speaker
It's not crazy amounts. But my my biggest issue is not the, well, the vision, obviously, but the I've got an astigmatism in my right eye. So that oh right that makes things look, um ah especially at night when you're driving down a road that's got street lamps, and stop signs do this as well, is I'll get along...
00:46:17
Speaker
um
00:46:20
Speaker
shaft of light emanating from each yeah each side of that light source that like a streak yeah which kind of makes it like the vision blurry like it's clear but yeah the stigmatism makes it kind of like a another layer you kind of have to perceive past sort of thing if that makes sense yep because you're not yeah it's weird if you look up astigmatism You'll see that some examples of what what it's like for people with it.
00:46:50
Speaker
And I've never noticed any difference, so. Oh, okay. I've always kind of had it. um But yeah, another health tip.
00:47:02
Speaker
Get your eyes checked regularly too because they do change over time. Yeah, mine definitely did. One of my eyes is not as good as the other. I think my right one has got like a just a small stigmatism or something similar in there.
00:47:15
Speaker
Yeah. And it's it's just slightly blurrier than the left, not not so much on any glasses. that I didn't find out about it until I went to do the ah redo my eye test to get my license after the 10 years. Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:47:34
Speaker
It's like, read the last column, and I was like, what you mean? That's a smudge. There's no column there. No, no, I couldn't see it at all. Oh, really? Holy shit. Because of the fact that my right eye was slightly weaker.
00:47:49
Speaker
Now, one of my other eyes, like, my other eye started compensating for it. Oh, okay. So it looked in a slightly different direction, you know, something like that. Oh, shit.
00:48:00
Speaker
Yeah, my eye's using more of one side of the vision. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just in my peripheral that I couldn't notice it. Like, I can see to my right and to my left, but when I was looking in the machine, yeah, there was a whole yeah column missing.
00:48:16
Speaker
Yeah, because there's different tests they do now, eh, to test your peripheral vision and that. You've got the standard eye test with the chart and the letters on it. um But then they put, have you been there to that dome one where you put your head in the big dome and the pinpoints of light go off and you've got to push the button every time you see it?
00:48:35
Speaker
Yep. Yeah, so that's the your peripheral vision one. Actually, I haven't been back in a while. I should go and get mine tested again. It's free over here. Is it free in New Zealand? I'm not sure.
00:48:48
Speaker
You can go and get your eyes tested whenever you want here. Shit. I think it's all like bulk build through Medicare or something like that.
00:49:01
Speaker
so yeah Yeah, Australia's health systems on the streets ahead of ours. Yeah, unfortunately, I think you might be right there, cuz. Yep.
00:49:11
Speaker
What are you going to say there? Oh, I'm scrolling back through the chat and just seeing what's kind of saved in there from recently. was Grey Dog's birthday last month or this month? Yep. Happy birthday to Grey Dog. Happy birthday to the D-I-C.
00:49:30
Speaker
um Shout out to Jay's young fella as well for his achievements in sport. going well yeah He's starting to hit some strides and and playing for some rep teams and stuff like that.
00:49:49
Speaker
Apparently he's playing for the Māori in a week or so. That would have been probably around about now. um yeah So yeah, love it. Love it. The young fella's getting amongst it. It's good to see
00:50:06
Speaker
Yeah, a few people coming back to the chat as well. It's normally just the staples kind of in there, chucking some stuff in. I think we did have a chat from Great Ogre at one stage there and Cousin AJ more recently.
00:50:23
Speaker
Shout-outs to to those cousins. um haven't seen Bellmeat. Miles, Mango Miles, in a little while. Or yeah affectionately known as the Wookiee.
00:50:39
Speaker
He's been pretty quiet. Like the man Randy Average. Yeah, yeah. That's true. That's the one. and That's his podcast persona. um Yeah, he looks sort of... You already pop in a second from time to time? Yeah, we'll probably have to get him up here for another potty.
00:50:57
Speaker
It's always a good but funny yeah time when he's here. um Yeah. Catch up with his family as well, all his boys.
00:51:07
Speaker
And has even Mitch's been quiet lately? Yeah, yeah, yeah. um He had, and all was kind of and interested in hearing his poor form story, which he titled The Rubbed a Raw Ripoff.
00:51:23
Speaker
um yeah so maybe we might have to get a call in one for those and an update somehow or just come and come and get on the podcast Mitch what are you doing mate yeah just call him up on the phone yeah give us a but ah production notes insert Mitch's story here so hopefully we'll we'll be able to add that in there I might give him a call later
00:51:54
Speaker
But, yeah, it's I've got this set up now, Cuzzy. So before I just had a work laptop. Didn't have a lot of gear set up to run a podcast or anything like that.
00:52:05
Speaker
So now I've got everything set up. I've got a nice rig going here, Cuzzy. I'll show you. Oh, yeah. So I got the picked up a desk on Amazon for 90 bucks.
00:52:21
Speaker
twenty bucks so Um, so i got the podcaster thing there, my rig, my machines underneath there.
00:52:33
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Like a little side table action going on. Well, yeah, little side table action. Um,
00:52:44
Speaker
yeah, perfect. The camera i just pulled out of the storage like five minutes before we started.
00:52:51
Speaker
So I may have to invest in there, but yeah. Something like a handycam, bro, what you're running there for your webcam right now. Pretty much, yeah. It's a a Sony,
00:53:03
Speaker
ah i think it's DCR240E. two forty e
00:53:13
Speaker
takes digital eight tapes, um and it comes with this little remote, because this is actually quite a nifty thing as you can do, is it's got a real hard-out, real invasive up-close-in-personal zoom, and it just keeps going in and in further and further and further and even further until my eye is the only thing you can see in the whole thing. It's fucking spooky as shit, man.
00:53:42
Speaker
So... optical yeah yeah so um wanted to get one of those anti-cams for um sunday cup for me because i reckon yeah zoom it's got some fucking cool like if i need a producer though i need a cameraman because there's got some things on there uh camera effects that are built into it as well so like you've got your negative and your um like, thermal type, uh, things, but it's got some, out of it, visual effects as well, that I haven't seen, in a lot of other, cameras or, or even, you know, um, but Snapchat filters, or what have you, all those sorts of stuff as well, so it's got some, some, yeah, some OG, fucking retro things in there, which is cool to play around with,
00:54:33
Speaker
um But yeah, wouldn't mind getting this up and running and integrated somehow to the system. Man, I'll tell you what, some of these AI videos are getting pretty out the gate, kind of scary. Oh, they are. Fuck, are they water?
00:54:49
Speaker
Fuck, they're getting crazy, e Fuck, I've seen one today of...
00:54:58
Speaker
I think it was Trump and Putin patching.
00:55:06
Speaker
It's like standing in the middle of the road, like holding hands and passing. Like, what the fuck? Surely that's not AI, though.
00:55:18
Speaker
and That'd be a golden shower for his old chumbo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. But yeah, its it's hard to, it's getting harder to tell at a glance.
00:55:30
Speaker
ah Within like two years, it'll yeah it'll be almost possible. i You can still tell. Like if you kind of take half a yeah ah a look at at some of the stuff, you can go, yeah, that just doesn't look Yeah, it doesn't look right. And the sentence is like as is but lot of the time you can tell by the way the person talks that it's not their mate. Like it doesn't look their style. yeah But sooner or later, they'll get that too.
00:55:56
Speaker
Yeah. um'm thinking I'm trying to think of ways to get ahead of that curve, you know, um particularly with your own likeness and your own voice. And, and you know, is it case you have to kind of do it first yourself so that you can lay claim to it or you know? um Well, that's sort I mean, that's what where I think like, you know, with the um crypto, um what do you call them? Like the… um Blockchain.
00:56:25
Speaker
yeah blockchain but like uh fuck i think what they're called now when like ethereum and that like you know like bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies or yeah not the currencies like the actual blockchain where it's like um digital signature basically or like um fuck there's the actual name for them though can't yeah they real big like little while back yeah is that like what you need to log into like your digital wallets and stuff Yeah, yeah, like that sort of thing, you know? like Yeah, can't remember what it's called, though.
00:57:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sort of thing to verify your voice, you know? ah Your biometrics. What's that?
00:57:14
Speaker
Biometrics. Fingers, face. Yeah, biometrics. um Just something that can verify it's you. And that's why I think it's cool that, you know, um some of these old video things are coming back into the fashion, like even film cameras and stuff. Like it's a little bit more verifiable, you know, slightly more verifiably real. Yeah.
00:57:33
Speaker
At the same time, like pretty much can you can't really alter a file or or something like that um without it showing a digital footprint as well, eh? Yeah. yeah most people Yeah, most people can't, I guess.
00:57:47
Speaker
But deep down, if you went forensically in, you can tell though, right? Yeah. But it's crazy now how, like you say that, like your everyone's going back to physical things, like film cameras and things like that, um not only for the retro sort of stylings and stuff like that, but but because a lot of...
00:58:07
Speaker
um so digital media, you don't kind of own. you Nah. And I've noticed that with um
00:58:19
Speaker
particularly gaming, there's a huge one. ah yeah These games that... all the time you can't play anymore because there's either a server that's been turned off somewhere or because it needs to connect to the internet or the company's not around anymore so all the licensing has run out and so you can't play it so a lot of physical media is gaining popularity again because people just want to be able to play their games and not have to be um subscribe subscribe to 50 million different things to actually play any games which is yeah unfortunately the ecosystem that i find myself in now it's getting more expensive to have access to games that and not only i purchased but that i have subscribed to
00:59:09
Speaker
As well. That has been one thing that's bugged me ever since they first started doing it is the whole online only thing, you know, like you've got to be connected to the internet to play the game and, you know, like I do just miss those days of the classic, you know, in sixty four Just chuck the cartridge in anywhere you are.
00:59:28
Speaker
and Yeah. You don't need anything else but what you got in your hands pretty much. Even just connecting to the Wi-Fi, chucking the password in, that's a big dick around. yeah Yeah, but it's the same with movies and that now. Like, you don't, you you subscribe to these services, but you don't own any of the movies.
00:59:48
Speaker
No. um Unless you've got a physical copy of it.
00:59:53
Speaker
Yeah, the internet goes down and it's fucked. Yes. Yeah. You've got to talk to the methods. You have to make genuine connection with people. Fuck that. Actually, that there was one thing I was going to ask you relating to my topic of the adult entertainment like would you have any tips and tricks for guys that are you know that maybe found themselves on a stag do they're happily married men and um you've you've been dragged along to one of these establishments and um you've got to try and play it out you know
01:00:26
Speaker
yeah Have you ever been in that situation? it's been a couple of times where we went to one for my stag do. um ye classic Some classic stories came out of that because I just went into it. was like, this is hilarious. I just... It wasn't really... ah Like, I wasn't there to...
01:00:43
Speaker
see tits and ass I was there just like fucking look at all these dudes around here just like the situation of a strip club is just like when you step away and look it it's like this is a whole bunch of dudes ogling at women and I just find it hilarious um yeah but yeah I guess know what you mean and uh how do you um
01:01:07
Speaker
getting tempted where you can not, you're not, not about not getting tempted, but just like to get past, uh, you know, unscathed.
01:01:22
Speaker
ah just I guess those those things, depends on how you look at those things, I look at those clubs and that as like, these ladies are providing a service. So I'm going to go in there engaging in that, like, hey, we're here to have a good time.
01:01:34
Speaker
But, you know, it's like going to get a haircut kind of thing. Yep. You know, you're not going grab your barber's ass or anything like that. Can you go get a haircut? So why do it and in that where you're getting a service essentially as well?
01:01:50
Speaker
Yes. it's yeah let's get and and know yeah i it's It's more about the experience, I guess. I've done it a couple of times and it's just because of either got roped along or you know it was part of the stack deal. can't speak for anyone who's a regular punter.
01:02:12
Speaker
But from a ah married man's yeah perspective, um yeah it created some good memories. I remember the guys that dragged me along to the valley once for some $5 lap dances.
01:02:25
Speaker
That was fucking great, $20. I spent four lappies, four different girls. was great. But then I spent like $20. in Then I spent like another $15 just going to girls going, hey, go and give my mate a lap dance. When they're trying to sit there all like embarrassed and inconspicuous.
01:02:44
Speaker
Yeah, he he wants one. Go with there. But yeah, that's it that's it for me. Yeah, that's good touch there. Yeah, just i see the fun in it. Enjoy yourselves. But like said, it's a service.
01:02:59
Speaker
the you You're paying for a service. Yep. Oh, I see it. Don't be paying for it while watching home in a week. Yeah. Don't mix business with pleasure.
01:03:09
Speaker
Yeah. That's when you get in trouble. When those lights get blurry. Yeah. It's the ultimate practice playground for don't mix business with pleasure.
01:03:21
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. But, man, have fun. Young guys out there, go and have fun. But be respectful and, yeah. Yep, that's the best ah the key there.
01:03:32
Speaker
Yep.
01:03:35
Speaker
But that's my limited experience, cuz, with that.
01:03:42
Speaker
What else we got in here?
01:03:47
Speaker
um
01:03:52
Speaker
don't much have... I know Lawn Chat's been featuring quite a bit on... in the Cuzz chat, lawn chat kind of goes quite over here during the summer months because you only mow the lawns maybe once a month because they just don't grow at all.
01:04:07
Speaker
They just go brown. Um...
01:04:12
Speaker
So I've been letting mine grow little bit. um Just trying to get, like i've had an infestations of all sorts of other weeds shit. I've talked about before to another podcast.
01:04:25
Speaker
But yes, I've kind of given up on on getting a nice even lush lawn. um
01:04:32
Speaker
I get more entertainment out of the birds. I've got a bit of um a territory war going on at the moment with this magpie. It's kind of, it's claimed our yard and actively and aggressively chases away any other bird that tries to enter into the yard. Yeah, that's good.
01:04:52
Speaker
it It'll chase them into the patio area if they, you know, they try and escape as well. um Yeah, it's a kind of kill. Yeah, yeah. On a daily tour, I'll see, I'll sit out there for like 10, 15 minutes and they'll just sit on the fence because it there's a tree.
01:05:08
Speaker
My house backs onto the school. So in the back fields of the school is where we are, our fences, and there's a tree in the school bounds and there must be a nest in there because I've it sort of fly up there quite a bit.
01:05:21
Speaker
But it'll sit on that on our fence and just, yeah, I see it do 2v1 bro today. It's a 2v1. These two little sparrows tried to come in and pick up shit from the the my backyard and this fucking magpie was just stanching them out.
01:05:38
Speaker
chased them out and then just stood in the middle of the backyard and they were up on the fence and just kind of like staunching them out. Like, yeah, just fucking tri-fly down here.
01:05:49
Speaker
Fuck yous up. Yeah, nice. Yeah. So, yeah, with turf war going on. um Yeah, well... That's good, eh? It keeps those other birds from shitting on your roof. You know, better to just have one in there. Yep.
01:06:03
Speaker
I think that we've noticed that as well, is the shitting on the outdoor furniture has gone down too. yeah That magpie is just keeping all those birds out. So, yeah. Are you feeding him? Well, kind of. But more to lure other birds in than to feed him.
01:06:19
Speaker
Because I just want to see them go at it. So yeah, I'll go in. so So I may be instigating a bit of this to a four boy by chucking, you know, a ripped up slice of bread out there every now and then. Yeah. Just, yeah, If the magpie gets there first, it's all good.
01:06:39
Speaker
But if there's any other birds, then you might see a bit of action. Yeah, a bit of fighting, yeah. Yeah. The magpies are incredibly intelligent birds, aren't they? Yeah, yeah.
01:06:50
Speaker
I'm sure he can, you know, he knows what's going on.
01:06:54
Speaker
They're um more intelligent than the average dog. Did you know? Yeah, birds, bobb ah bro. Oh, bro. Yeah. Crows, too. Crows apparently are, like, real smart, eh? Yeah, well, magpies are in that same family, eh?
01:07:06
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all all the highest intelligence of all the birds. um that um Yeah, I would love to have a pet magpie. Boise bastards, but...
01:07:20
Speaker
hard to get a Hard to get one as a pet, you know. youve got a You've kind of got to rescue one and nurse it back to health at your house. Oh, yeah, so it becomes – I've seen some stories of people, like, befriending them, I guess.
01:07:33
Speaker
um
01:07:36
Speaker
I think it might might be many crows, though, because they'll – there was a story about one – think it was an older story where – um I think similar the story, they nursed back this crow to health um and it would bring them money.
01:07:54
Speaker
Like, yeah every now and then it would just come back and it would, like, drop off like a $5 note or something like that and it'll give it some seeds or whatever and it'll go away but it ended up um like a whole family of crows going and finding money and just bringing it back to this one person just like a drawer full of like not all the same currency either like different types of currency but it just knew yeah it just knew like hey this is valuable let's take it back for that person yep because
01:08:26
Speaker
Heard another thing the other day, which was on the internet, so, but birds are dinosaurs. Yeah. Well, yeah, well, we used to say dinosaurs weren't birds as well. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's the thing, yeah. You know, they could have been dead.
01:08:44
Speaker
Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, that's true as well. Yeah, I've heard that. But it just means some species of birds probably have that direct link back to ah dinosaurs and
01:08:58
Speaker
ah know i know just think of that like genetic memory that they have yeah why they're so right they' intelligent i mean um twiite back with a like a fucking uh whole round of extinction yeah that yeah well they've yeah they've got good survival instincts i guess to to stay you know with uh as a survival species but that's another thing as well well we're getting off the rails here cuz so wrap it up soon but another thing I've been thinking about is how they could potentially bring birds back from extinction yeah
01:09:39
Speaker
with the You know mean like pterodactyl or like dodo? a Dodo. More dodo. lead but Bring a fun bird back. Don't bring something back that can potentially kill us. Let's bring a dumb bird back in to see what dumb shit it does.
01:09:54
Speaker
I reckon that'll be cool. Yeah, that will be sweet. yeah Actually, on the topic of the old animals um stealing money, I think in Bali they trained the monkeys in that up to do that, eh? Steal people's stuff.
01:10:06
Speaker
was People will basically sell them those cheap goods and then then later on send the monkeys out to go take them, steal them, bring them back. Monkeys um key get a little banana. With some interest, I bet, too.
01:10:23
Speaker
Yeah. Fucking little buggers. Yeah, and crack them. ah the people never see it coming and then they're just gone. Yeah. Wow.
01:10:34
Speaker
Can't think of many successful defences against the monkey.
01:10:39
Speaker
tell you, you don't even bother. You just let them have it. I'll be too fucking, yeah. I'm too freaked out. Yeah, fuck though, because they got fucking, some of them, man, they got those big teeth.
01:10:52
Speaker
Yeah, and the fucking fingers and claws and shit. Crazy. Yeah. You don't even want to fucking go there. No. Of any animal you don't want to go there with, it's a fucking chimp.
01:11:04
Speaker
Yeah. Or like a fucking... They're strong motherfuckers too.
01:11:11
Speaker
Yeah. No, thank you.
01:11:17
Speaker
You can have those $5 sunnies.
01:11:21
Speaker
Those Oakley knockoffs. you reckon if you had a magpie and then you just had like a birdhouse for it or something like that that it got back into and then you just have pictures of money in there?
01:11:32
Speaker
And then where you feed them we we feed them just have pictures of money? that that's like a That's a level propaganda cuz that I could actually get behind.
01:11:43
Speaker
Just brainwash a magpie to bring in your money. um What else are the...
01:11:52
Speaker
but so Magpie propaganda.
01:11:56
Speaker
Fuck, are we, like, going into shop and shit? Are taking them straight out of the register? No, but taking, like, your trained magpie with, like, those hoods that hawks have, and then you just, like, point it at the thing you want and take the hood off. So, like, every time that you release it, the only thing it knows is, like, fuck, I've got to go find that thing.
01:12:18
Speaker
I've got to, you know... You starve so that it only responds to, you know, that one thing violently. Yeah. You just have a different magpie for every different thing.
01:12:32
Speaker
You're fucking walking around with your arms out, stretched, and fucking magpies lined up on each side. Okay, now. um i can Just have some little digital goggles on them.
01:12:48
Speaker
3D printer these days you can make him make you know little ah sets of armour for them and stuff yeah oh yeah be handy yeah you should look into it man get a bit of cash get some pictures of some cash and then get that magpie bringing it back to you yeah we'll see if we can train it up um get some propaganda going yeah doesn't have a big brain, sure we can, you know, do some brainwashing to it.
01:13:23
Speaker
Yeah, definitely brainwashable. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, all right, Kazzy. Well, I think we might sort of wrap things up here then. Um, before we go even more off the rails but um yeah thanks for for joining us this evening um and having a bit of a chat if we get some more because he's interested we might do these a little bit more often as well now that we have the required tools and everything production suite sort of thing
