Introduction of Hosts and Guest
00:00:29
Speaker
Welcome back to the Kuzz Chat Podcast. You're here once again with Black McGee and the Kuzzies. This week in the house, joining us is George the Ruthless Deception. Welcome back this week, Kuzz.
00:00:43
Speaker
Yeah, how's it going, Kuzzy?
Weekend Adventures and Guest Introduction
00:00:45
Speaker
Just fresh in from a bit of a weekend down on the mainland, bit of sun, bit of mountain biking and a bit of disc golf. Disc golf, eh? Back up here now, so yeah, we could get into a bit of that later, but... Yeah, nice. Another R&R trip for old George there. And joining us this week for his first time ever outside info himself, Kuzzy Roza. Welcome to the body.
00:01:14
Speaker
As he chirmed. Loving the LAB t-shirt there, brother. You're looking dapper. We've got this on the video conference here, too. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's the second week using Discord, I don't know what to say. That's pretty good. So how is everybody feeling? Very good, very good. I was just modding the old 10-note under-till-a-tongue flag in the back there, too.
00:01:40
Speaker
Yeah, mate. Yeah. Got a bit of a set up here. Nice.
Camping and Travel Stories
00:01:43
Speaker
Sovereign teammate. That's the one. Zero Prejudism. Again, George Jordan, that's from Sweet Caroline. Looking nice and cozy in here. It looks cozy. I've got it set up pretty well now, like I say, with the sim in here. And so there's my little man cave. Yeah, it's a good room. When I tell it for New Year's, I'll probably leave the sim in here, I think.
00:02:11
Speaker
And so I can just play on it, you know, while I'm out camping and whatnot. Yeah, you got the old spaces in there too, eh? Yeah, yeah. Was that travel? You can do, yeah. Yeah.
00:02:28
Speaker
Like you talking about the whole caravan or? Yeah, yeah. Well, that's is that used for that purpose or did you get it around or? Yeah, yeah. Well, no, it does. Well, I haven't put a waffle on it ages, but there's nothing really wrong with it except for the fact that my dog actually damaged a lot of the lights, the lights and stuff on the back of it, you know, got bored while we're at work and then just took it out on my carrow. You know, probably touched on us in the past, but yeah, that's the only thing really wrong with it.
00:02:57
Speaker
And the wiring, she screwed the wiring.
00:03:01
Speaker
Yeah, I got put off dogs by all your shenanigans or the dog shenanigans. Um, and how are you doing?
Rugby Memories and Anecdotes
00:03:08
Speaker
Uh, it was a fair, first time on the potty. Um, but yeah, I was just, just going to say the bloody Jordan's just toying around a full on racing. Some scratch me up. I was trying to think last time we seen you, you were playing the racing sim in there. So I was like, does it travel with the caravan? That could be like a,
00:03:28
Speaker
you know you could charge people money if they could ever go around the country yeah you're probably good if you wanted to yeah yeah yeah well that's i've seen people actually doing that a the odd uh they pack them up but um in total they're in front of the sun court the sun court motel oh yeah is that little um reserve in front of it i wake up like i was after something i mean we're all at anyway and we're there and i heard this like
00:03:55
Speaker
loud v8 just going off like sounding like I was racing around the street so it must have been turned right up but yeah it was with people in the sim. Back of my day they had potonk on those. It was like a mark there's like a market's going on there.
00:04:24
Speaker
We've got a lot to kind of get through today, this week. As we do want to wrap up this week on CuzzChat. I think there might be a couple of poor form stories out there as well. Had some key people missing. I think Miles had a couple of good ones. So we'll do our best to relay what those are all about. But yeah, what do you want to get into first? Any sort of topics you want to bring up?
00:04:48
Speaker
We have to talk about Richo's rugby, I guess, first and foremost, being the most sort of recent thing that's happened on the old Kuzz chat. Any initial comments about the Kuzzy? No, he got that surprise call up on the Friday night. The classic was going to be on the bench and then X-Men and he's starting. It's always exciting. He was pretty happy that he was starting on the bench. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:18
Speaker
But yeah, picked at number seven. And I think he said he got about 67 minutes of game time as well. Yeah, that's, that's a, that's a good effort. Really. Good on all Richie ages getting into it. You just got to tuck into some sports sometimes and get a month. Yeah. Do it. Yeah. Do it until the body gives out. I've got a bit of a, uh, I've got a bit of a question, uh, upon the rugby topic, um,
00:05:47
Speaker
funniest like amateur rugby training drills you know yeah the classic one we were playing rugby and manga kinou as kids and i think it was two year um they just made us just run straight at each other there's two groups two lines and you met in the middle at full pace and that's how we learned how to tackle it was it was quite a crack up so i think and uh but you might have the same thing going on might be some amateur training drills or because he's got some sort of comments on that sort of crack up shit
00:06:17
Speaker
Sure. That was a good drill, that one. You just get in, you just, and that was a thing. It didn't matter who you got, you know, paired up against too, because you might end up running into someone massive and you're small, so you got to put them down. Yeah, luck of the drill. There's no way around the pain of the hit too, you know, like the initial like contact stuff, you know, like learning what that's all about. And then such just becomes normal.
00:06:46
Speaker
What are some other kind of standout things around the game for you at those younger ages? For me, it's always the changing rooms beforehand. What's your prep talk? Do you have a war cry? What's going on in the changing rooms? When you're a kid, I always talk classic.
00:07:13
Speaker
absolute game to kids and whatnot and you're just sitting there like, I don't know, what cracks me up the most is just the random positions that you get put in like growing up, you know, like,
00:07:24
Speaker
go from one to like, uh, running back to a prop, you know, and next thing you know, you're just like a young kid who's 50 kilos and probably not even a prop, just playing prop and like, um, gold fields and that, you know, it's just cause you're 50 gigs. Wrong age. Well, you know, you matured more.
00:07:44
Speaker
But yeah, we used to have, and look, I'm going to say it right now, I don't think any of those people that were coaching at the little ages there, none of them would have had working with children checks done, or blue cards, or whatever you need now, working with children. Because some of the things they used to make you do and say in the changing rooms, you know,
00:08:07
Speaker
Who are we? Mango, what are we going to do? Fucking Cologne! That was our chat before the game. Oh, it was terrible, man. I was going to say a good bit of swearing too, you know? Yeah. Running on the spot. Fucking Liniment just flying around like nobody's business. Yeah.
00:08:27
Speaker
Well, there's that video, that video that's peed down a little while ago that followed with that little kid's team. That's why you can't take it. Don't worry about that far in the middle. What did we say we were going to do? That was a good video.
00:08:48
Speaker
I need like a producer here. Maybe I'll get one of the boys to bring up that video and I'll play the video in the background. But we're not there. Jamie. Jamie, play that video. Hey, Byron. Actually, I've come up with a bit of a life hack today, actually.
Racing Simulations and DIY Mishaps
00:09:04
Speaker
When I was on my flight back from, well, that was a flight back from out of Queenstown to Christchurch.
00:09:14
Speaker
There was a, you know, baby sitting on the seat next to me and like, oh, here we go. And then I was like, actually, you know what? Good thing about having a baby, you do need to rip those inflight farts. The baby gets to blame. Yeah. It's always the baby of the dog.
00:09:40
Speaker
kids playing. Yeah. Oh, black. Now that kid's going off. No, mom's like, I just changed them. Yeah, that's, that's, that's great form. Really. You know, you got to palm it off.
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah, click that one on. Yeah. Well, we did get sidetracked. We were talking about Ritto's rugby. Did we say the score? 67-7. It was Houston United Rugby Team against Houston Athletic Rugby Team. So a bit of hurt and heart. If I'm reading that correctly, and not my distance.
00:10:23
Speaker
There'll be some hurting hearts in there. I'll have level 10, because, you know, back in 1967, that's a, that's a beating.
00:10:32
Speaker
Yeah. Especially when they had a 50-year-old on the team. Yeah, I was going to say. They've got an aging... What position did he place? Number seven. An aging number seven. Open side, yeah. Open side flanker. But he reckons he set up two triocists or had two triocists. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, they must be, you know, rallying behind them and, you know. Well, unless he's just hanging out in the backs.
00:11:04
Speaker
Yeah, I guess, yeah, that is a bit of a richo, isn't it? Hanging out of the banks. Didn't want to get it. Why do you say that? Because he didn't want to get up and close with the forwards or a bit of options for ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:21
Speaker
giving his hands on the ball, not hitting those bloody rucks enough by the sound of it. Yeah, yeah. Take it out too wide. Good on the cosy though. What were you saying Rosa?
00:11:33
Speaker
Oh, he's got good passion. You know, like, I like the chat on the, um, on the thread on Snappy, you know, and, uh, I liked the story the other day. I think it was another game he played. I don't think it was this week, but about a big tackle he had made, you know, and you could tell he was sort of greased up about it a bit, which cracks me up. But all like that sort of thing, you know, I wish I'd seen it. I wish I'd seen the hit, you know, cause, uh, yeah, it's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did post up some video. There was one of the video footage there. I might, maybe not with that game.
00:12:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm trying to find, like I'm scrolling back through. Oh, there's another picture we can add. But no, I couldn't see anything about any footage. No, he put the link to the score, I think, or the link to the score or the link to his player card on the website. Oh, yeah, right. Another update on the
00:12:35
Speaker
I was 64-7. Another update on the chat was Miles' truck that they spent a couple of years doing up. I guess an older style cab that they'd done up.
00:12:53
Speaker
went on a big parade with hundreds of trucks, wasn't he? It was hundreds of trucks going to this parade and they showcased this new truck and it was probably what, three weeks old?
00:13:08
Speaker
Yeah, something like that. And the latest is somebody's crashed it. So there was a photo on the chat with, I think it was a bumper off the front of the cab. Minor damage, he reckons, but you know, it only took a couple of days or something for it to get damaged. The poor form on that driver. Yeah, that is poor form.
00:13:34
Speaker
Did he say whether it was a rue or an actual rue hit, you reckon? I did find it, but I'm scrolling back and forth now. Suspected. Yeah, second day it crashed it. I just said bear.
00:13:59
Speaker
Just crashed it. It's not too bad though, but you can't give them anything nice. Just fair enough to. No, that was just crazy. So a bit of poor form, you reckon? Yeah, for sure. Like two days into that, it would have been two days in, you're not giving it to like a rookie driver, are you? You're giving it to someone who's
00:14:23
Speaker
You know, two days in, it'd be like the, one of the management team probably like, yeah, oh, can I have some photos and go for a bit of a drive? I reckon that's what's happened. I need to, I was saying, um, it was a bit of a legal bumper too. Wasn't it illegally low? Um, the custom got red something like that. Yeah. Yeah. What is that effect of the sharing insurance there? I probably would have just fixed safety.
00:14:53
Speaker
Take the end cap safety rating down slightly. It might not be legit for those older ones though. Might be missing half the safety features that modern trucks have. Most trucks, yeah. They actually do have special bumpers now for big trucks like logging trucks and stuff like that. And they're designed to make sure that the vehicle doesn't get jammed underneath.
00:15:23
Speaker
It sort of just holds them on the bumper and you hit them and it sort of just holds them there and then it will push them off to the side rather than crashing and then the truck driving over them. There's some cutting edge bumper technology there. Yeah, I didn't know because the old bro had that incident where he was in the right hand lane and someone drove into the front of him just trying to pull out in front.
00:15:53
Speaker
boom some oldies pulling out is dangerous well not pulling out it's probably more dangerous
00:16:11
Speaker
I got a bit of a poor form one as well. Segueing on to that. The truck crash. A bit of a topic too. We could talk about doing dangerous shit, get a job done at home, and classic examples of my dad Greg always doing dangerous shit. And he's had a lot of accidents as well. So probably a bit better form than him, but the other day I was sort of
00:16:36
Speaker
He risked it, risked it a bit. I was top rung ladder. The ladder was uneven, you know, kind of downhill. It was like working on this guttering that I sort of installed myself that had failed. And next thing you know, I was sort of one step away from top rung and I was like, couldn't quite get there. You know, I couldn't quite get the job done. I had to like, re-glue this expansion joint. At the highest part of the house, of course, you know, where I had scaffolding originally. But yes, and then I ended up, I was up there.
00:17:06
Speaker
got up there because I just wanted to get it done. And it was right in front of the neighbor's lounge as well. So, you know, you had that in the back of your head as well. They're watching. So we're going to turn the custard quite quick, but it didn't feel good up there. And then made my way back down. And no, we're all sort of a bit guilty of that. You know, you sort of in a risk it at home to do something, get a job done or whatnot. But it was poor form for me actually. Yeah. Not good. Okay. Yeah.
00:17:37
Speaker
He didn't give them a stack of those. I made a doubt, bro, and got the job done. But yeah, it wasn't safe. I ain't got the job done. No. Yeah. I've done a few cashews as well. I've done a few cashews. It's been quite dangerous, up ladders and whatnot. And you should do something else. But, um, like originally I did have scaffolding when I did the OG job, but I was like, you know, just got to get up there. And then I was nearly on it. And then, um, then I was right up there and yeah, pretty close to fucking straight off. But, um,
00:18:07
Speaker
end up white Mitch, you know, fall through that roof or something. You don't know. You never know. Yeah, mate. Next minute. Yeah. Next fall for a roof. Next minute you're on an interlock. You know, it's a slippery slope, bro. Place accidents. Yeah. Well, that's a hard road to, yeah. This day and age to go down, man. I actually have a letter fucking story back in the day.
Childhood Accidents and Stunts
00:18:30
Speaker
You know, I used to do old contracting at the dams for the old man. I can forget the old father's name used to work for though.
00:18:36
Speaker
And that's going inside the turbines and cleaning them and shirt and then painting the transformers and stuff. But there's those things just outside or next to the dams. I don't know what the area's called, you fellas will know. And they've got these those big like ceramic tar
00:18:55
Speaker
cap things, like there's a row of them up the pole sort of thing and they had to be painted. And they had me up there on that ladder, just on the fucking, in the wedge in between those two ceramic things, fucking painting them, fucking wobbly as fuck. Fuck yeah, I would have been young ass then though. Yeah, we, well, you would have been in the switch out probably many. And then what you're talking about was probably a disconnect or something.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah, there was a few of them, yeah. And I did one, and I was like, oh fuck this, I'm not doing any more of those. I just went up down the ladder and went back. I was like, do another job. It feels even more sketchy because you hear that zzzzzz all around you and stuff. Sometimes it all fucking... No? Yeah. Fucking loud noise. Yeah, no, it's done a bit of work and they all switch out and stuff. Oh yeah, shaking at the top. When we were done...
00:19:51
Speaker
When we parked the vans up at the Huntley Switchyard, you'd get shocks off the roof racks. Just because of the amount of induced voltage that's all around in the air over there. You know, in those switchyards? Yeah. Yeah, but if the roof racks should get a bit of a... Just a little bolt off it, yeah. Like the air stand up, eh?
00:20:23
Speaker
Yeah, not nice. That's never nice. We did have a poor form story from the... Sorry, Kaz, go on before we move on. Actually, when we talk about falls from heights and danger at heights, it does actually bring to mind a story. It actually was a story of a little incident involving a bit of children's play equipment and a fall from height.
00:20:53
Speaker
on the fours, I'll remember the story and he can probably retell it. Yeah, I remember that. The old round barn incident in the loft. Yeah, I can't remember what age we would have been, would have been five. I was probably about eight or so. I reckon. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. So anyway.
00:21:20
Speaker
They were just mucking around in the shed really, and there was all sorts of, you know, Woolsey's and Morry's and engines and steel as well, sort of a bit of a workshop in there and whatnot, all sorts of shit. And it just sort of built that loft area, you know, up top, that little bit of a storage thing. Yeah, we sort of up there and there was a moon hopper up there. And anyway, see on that, a full tilt and then lost control of her and then just basically bounced right off that newly established mezzanine floor.
00:21:49
Speaker
and landed right in front of this car, but just on like a bit of, I guess, L-Steel. Just kind of landed on my leg and just sighed, but yeah, pretty much just bounced back up because you're not that heavy at that age, you know, and just sort of, it was what wandered on in and I seen Rhee and she's seen I was bleeding and then had like a delayed cry like, yeah, nah, I fucked up. I jumped off the fucking roof of fuck. It got smoked. Because I think Jordan was up there and he just fucking seen me disappear and didn't know what happened.
00:22:19
Speaker
Yeah, I just turned around and was gone, because we were mucking around up there. He was bouncing around the moon hopper. I must have been, I don't know, was sifting through stuff.
00:22:29
Speaker
Yeah. He just had just bounced straight off the side. It's like a two meter drop over two meter drop. Who are you? Like, um, horizontal or you sideways bro. Sort of like, yeah, horizontally, pretty much like a breach, a breaching whale. Yeah. Two meter mark. Yeah. Probably about that road. Two meter mark, but a lot like my letter one, I was up 2.4. She's always up there. That letter, that letter thing the other day. So
00:22:56
Speaker
It probably had a bit of a flashback maybe. Can you remember? Because the Rockhopper is those ones where you hold on to the thing in the middle, right? And you're jumping on it? That's got those two little tassels. Did you continue to hold on to them as you fell? Or did you like spread eagle? Can you remember? I didn't try land on the Moonhopper. That's all I can sort of recollect, you know?
00:23:25
Speaker
Yeah, I've done it. I think that's probably the best idea was not to try fucking. Yeah. Yeah. And then land back on the hop. Maybe, maybe you could like get away with jumping off something and go legs hopper. I don't know, but I just went straight onto the side. Like just.
00:23:40
Speaker
It was just a surprise that I was going off there like I wasn't trying to do that. That's what happened. That's the first case of an extreme moon opera and I've ever seen like, you know, big drop-ins anyway. Well, you raised the bar just by, you know, elevating yourself to that higher level that you're increasing the risk factor. Yeah.
00:24:01
Speaker
no doubt if we looked that up it's already out there probably but um yes it will be epic but i didn't land it you know he might have been pioneering something though there because yeah pioneering yeah that's it yeah
00:24:21
Speaker
Um, if you can bring it to the X games. Yeah. They got some Swiss, some Swiss ball or like a rope on it or something. And they're fucking like a rodeo. Yeah. That'd be all good until the Americans get involved in, you know, it's just fucking everyone out of the sport. Yep. I know. Imagine that you just do a massive drop to start.
00:24:47
Speaker
And then you just got to freeze. Yeah. One big drop and then you got bounced, bounced, bounced until you run out and make it last year. Oh, you fucking had the X games before you know it. Oh yeah. I'll watch it.
00:25:06
Speaker
They mean a lot of random shit. So why not? Oh, it's always the random ones that gets the views too. I was watching something on the, that's slapping, you know, that's gone viral. You know, people just watch power slapping. Is that what it's called? Power slapping. Yeah. Some fucking knockouts. They get rocked.
00:25:31
Speaker
There's a lot of, there's a lot of parmen, what's the heel of your hand? There's a lot of that in there from what I've seen. Yeah, it's a little bit past a slap if you ask me. Yeah, they look, yeah, ones I've seen don't look like slaps. Open hand punches. Someone must have not realised how hard it is and they've entered one of these tournaments and they just pretty much, when they're there, they're like, slap this dude like a, how a woman would slap you.
00:26:00
Speaker
And then it got dark and absolutely dropped straight after that. It's monstered. Oh yeah, it's full. It's like a full on stiff arm, but with like an acoustic pop right on the jaw. If they get it right, they get their whole body torqued in behind it. I grew this whole crumb with your, your, your arm, like straight. Yeah. It's wicked when they sort of crack it. They get the sweet spot. It's good night. Yeah. I watched a little bit.
00:26:27
Speaker
I've been watching arm wrestling lately, like fucking heavyweight championship arm wrestling. And it's actually a bit of a who to watch the buildups and the shit talk. And that there's this one mega match that went down to this. And Larry duties, I've been sort of. Bit of a fan of he's the man. He took the championship belt, some mean arm, just absolute shit talk to on the table. And yeah, they all got like big YouTube channels now and it's all fucking televised. And yeah, it's actually good value.
00:26:55
Speaker
Isn't that Devin Lehrer like the ghost of arm wrestling? Like he's not quite an old dude now. I think he's only one dude that's sort of stronger than him, but he just had a mega match against like one of his rivals that bit him back in 2018. And he smoked him pretty much doing this massive dude's arm. Yeah. Just crack up. There's all sorts of techniques and all that involved in that too. You know, like it wasn't all strength, you know, like
00:27:20
Speaker
actually targeting muscle, targeting muscle groups through like positioning and, you know, like hand positioning and shit, you know, that's. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, my, my only reference to the sport is, um, what's that Sylvester Stallone movie?
Family Activities and Fun
00:27:40
Speaker
Oh, he, he actually, I'm pretty sure he actually plays that.
00:27:50
Speaker
Um, one of those fellas, like it's a, um, it's a true story that Sylvester Stallone movie over the top 1987. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. It's actually, um, it's actually a story about somebody's life, but I can't remember who it is. Really? Yeah. It might be a drum, but what is it? Dramatic returning or dramatization of, of it? Yeah, it is. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is. It's a dramatization, but they use different, uh,
00:28:20
Speaker
He's got the most movie fucking name I've ever seen. Lincoln Hawk is a struggling trucker who arm wrestles on the side to make extra cash while trying to rebuild his life. There you go.
00:28:53
Speaker
What about back in the day, George and the old man used to have the fucking mechanical shed, and he was into his motoring and whatnot. Neostats, all sorts of like go-karts and whatnot going on. And that magic carpet, whooping around for a while. That was fucking good value, non-PC fun, you know? Dangerous magic carpet rides, bro. The origins of that started out with the truck out at the beach. And so that's two highly dangerous pieces of equipment there.
00:29:22
Speaker
A three-wheeler and a magic carpet. Yeah, the three-wheeler was dangerous for both participants. Yes. Because you can end up in a fight easily on your three-wheeler. I just think the three-wheeler is the best thing out there. You know, they're so sweet. I love to have one. I won't buy myself one for Christmas.
00:29:50
Speaker
Oh man, those three wheelers that were at the beach got put through some abuse. I think we all know that. Yes. Yeah. No, that magic carpet. And then we ended up, yeah, taking that magic carpet, um, making another one up and tying it behind that go-kart. Yeah. That go-kart of mine. And, um, yeah, people, you know, bloody grass burns and whatever else, but accidentally ran my sister over a couple of times and yeah.
00:30:16
Speaker
It happens. It's like, it was just normal fun back then, you know? You don't get that now. Don't need to cry or run away and tell someone, otherwise they'll stop us having fun. Yeah. I just want to go back. There was a poor form story since we were on the poor form topics from the chat that
00:30:39
Speaker
watch a man, Randy Average himself post it and there were some accompanying photos as well. I think if you jump back into the general chat boys, you were about to see them, but basically there's an axe incident. So a friend of the Cuzzys, we'll call him Dan.
00:31:01
Speaker
For some reason or another, decided buying his around six year old son an axe. I don't know if it was a throwing axe or a chopping wood. I don't know what he intended the young fella to do with the axe. But in short order, he used the axe to give himself, well, what ended up being five stitches and a passed out dad.
00:31:29
Speaker
So on the forehead. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Straight on the forehead. Straight on the forehead. Five stitches. Four, four. That's four, four. That is four, four. A hundred percent because you should at least be supervising the kid when they're using the X so that they're not, you know, chopping the kindling on the forehead. You know, if you're going to chop kindling, you got to have a chopping block.
00:31:59
Speaker
All right, so you reckon it wasn't trained correctly in the use of this tool?
00:32:09
Speaker
Well, I can't imagine. Not if it's ended up in his forehead. But that's the opposite place. That's the opposite direction of what you even swing at or anything, you know? You reckon he's got bounce back there from hitting something. He's gone, boom, possibly. Or he's completely held the axe backwards and then done the backswing towards himself and axed himself in the head. Or, you know, because at six, you're probably not paying quite enough attention to the way the axe might be when you're swinging it back.
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah, I'd be more worried about fingers, eh? But, yeah, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
Safety and Supervision Discussions
00:32:47
Speaker
Well, pull form, like, I mean, I can understand maybe trying to get your kids into the chopping wood, but normally not at that age. And then... Not with an axe that can do that sort of damage. And then not taking the precautions once you do have it. Yeah. Like, there's a couple of chains of pull form that's happened here.
00:33:09
Speaker
Oh, for sure. For sure. Yeah. Right. Steaming right from me. The decision was made, I think. Yeah. Well, it might have been on a whim. We don't know. Could have been on a whim. Yeah. Well, who knows? Yeah.
00:33:21
Speaker
And then he's passed out. Do you think he's passed out because he's more thinking about how much he's going to get shot from the misses? Possibly, yeah. What have you got there? You can give me... X is probably disappear. X is probably going to disappear. That evidence is gone and there'll be a new story probably. Poor form.
00:33:49
Speaker
But any other highlights in the old Snapchat you want to bring up? Bring up another board form story. Buddy, cut down that Okamaru swing man. Board form. Is it still going? They cut it down years ago, but yeah, that was a good swing there. And they cut it down from that river trail there. And just to throw back to that swing in general, shout out though. That was a good point. Yeah, shout out to that Okamaru swing.
00:34:19
Speaker
The rest of the fellas that were ripping backies and that off of her. Your likes for Willie Truman? Yep. Yeah, full suggest. The teacher. Yeah, it was a bit of a mystery too, jumping into their water. Because you couldn't really see the bottom at all. It was clean water, but yeah, fuck. You just could not see the bottom. I reckon poor form from the river trail, people.
00:34:49
Speaker
because they could have just built the track around the swing and not cut it down because of the river trail, you know? And then you would have had a sweet swing in the river trail, eh? But no, yeah, they went straight through the middle of it. Yeah. Yeah. Disappointing. And this, I don't know, they did end up, I mean, since then they've cut all those trees down anyway. So, but I've scalded all around the whole lake and I honestly couldn't find a place that was that good to put another swing. And I would have done missions and fall into the bush and everything to find spots to like, yeah.
00:35:20
Speaker
Because I was like, fashionably, we can set another one up somewhere. There was just no place that was good like that. You need specific characteristics, don't you? You need a tree strong enough to support a rope, but at a particular angle where you can attach it so that you launch over the water. A bit of a cliff. You need like a steep hill leading up to that cliff too.
00:35:45
Speaker
The right branches as well, the right branch growing the right way. Even further than that. And that one had been developed. The right level of access to it. You don't want to run on a main road, but you don't want it too far off the beaten track as well. You want it pretty low key. And that's exactly what it was, man. You had to drive down that sweet little track. Most people didn't even know about it. It was that low key. You could drive a little bit down, but you had to walk the rest of the way.
00:36:10
Speaker
Hidden car park in the right nice and close to it all undercover all in the shade because that was all in the trees and then your crews up there and Yeah, they had even developed it to the next level of putting that log as the extra step So you go all out the bank and then there was another tree up there and then they put a log up against that tree And then you can swing from that and that was like top level off the log was like the big one
00:36:35
Speaker
A whip of it too, like it'll just whip you out into the yonder and the depth was good. Always. You never touch the bottom. Like you're always out there, out far enough. What was impressive though, is that you did, you did get close enough to the water that you could fail early and you know, not get too far out. Whereas, you know, some of them you might hit the water first or you're too far and no matter where you drop from, it's going to be high.
00:37:04
Speaker
The best ones are just moving up until the end. Yeah. Were you there that time that I completely fucked up that backflip, Rosa? And like, I tried to do it and then held onto the rope too long. Then I ended up coming in, landing like a meter off from the shore, if that, and then just standing up.
00:37:22
Speaker
standing upright but I pinky like backslapped it like landed flat on my back on the water and then yeah pretty much just stood up like and waist deep like waist not even waist deep water yeah that was at the bottom of the swing yeah yeah fucking money swing yeah i know i know of two other swings i've swung all the way right up i've swung all the way right up to the top try to look a backflip
00:37:50
Speaker
And then, yeah, Connor just got stuck halfway, but then, yeah, I'd let go too late, but I haven't been killed actually. I had one too when they had a shoelace or boot lace tied on the end of the rope that... Oh, yep. So you shouldn't get to get it. To help you get up onto the log properly, you know?
00:38:13
Speaker
And then I think one day like I went out and then that somehow tied around my foot. I was out there like I felt it. And then I felt it around my foot and it didn't like sort of let loose at all. So I had to swing back in and it was tied to my foot. Like I just missed the tree going back up the bank. Yeah. Just missed the tree going back up the bank and then had to hop, hop, hop, and then went back out and then just somehow managed to get it loose and air drop off after that. But that was sketchy.
00:38:40
Speaker
Yeah, because if you come back in, you'd almost definitely hit that tree too. Yeah. Yeah. You actually got out of that one. All right. Was on that one. It's definitely a point in the swing too. Like it was just like, yeah, you're up there and then you go on for it. Push the old adrenaline, a bit, a bit of fear, bit of conquering, you know, and it's super fun. It's super fun after that. You know,
00:39:12
Speaker
So other than that, I can think of two other places where there's a swing, one in Topo obviously, around, I don't know if it's still there though. The other one's Kaka-ho, but I don't know how, if that's still going either. But that was a pretty mean one.
00:39:31
Speaker
that little camp going on Kakahou Road. Yeah. Out there or no? Yeah, I think it's out there. We stayed out there. Yeah, no, there's one they've got a built up from what I remember. They've got like a built up decking around that extends out the water a little bit. Okay. And then there's a rope that you can swing out from there. And you kind of swing it's one of those ones where it's kind of like
00:39:56
Speaker
above you and you kind of just swing out. So it's not really a swing through, it's just a swing out on back. So you can drop or you can just swing back if you want, but yeah. You can just drop into the water. Key to those rope swings. Key to those rope swings is a big rope though, a big fat rope. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those big heavy, heavy, big knot at the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. What are they like now? Nautical ropes or something like that.
00:40:28
Speaker
Yeah, probably. That's the only people that I think would use them unless someone stole it from something off the dams. Yeah, that's probably it. Well, being that it's on those screens. Within sort of walking distance, really. The dams from there. I wonder who put it up. Let's just try and do some investigation into that. Who put the swing up? Well, I don't even know if it's a well known sort of thing. So you'd have to
00:40:57
Speaker
You know, you'd have to go and talk to people, do some journalism, investigative stuff. Yeah. Yep. Um, I don't even know who I'd ask. I reckon, I reckon I'd go to the den though. I reckon whoever, whoever done it would have probably had something to do with the den building it or well, possibly the rope rope, sorry. Lays getting me. I reckon the rope come from Kinleith.
00:41:28
Speaker
This rope they use at PM6, it's this real strong shit that they help get the felt on and off with. I'm like around all the rollers and that and after seeing that, cause it was the same color and that I'm pretty sure it was possibly that same rope cause super strong. Yeah. And like that square sort of, yeah, you can tie knots in it and whatnot. But I did a quick search, nothing on Google.
00:41:57
Speaker
About what? The swing? Nah. Um, hang on. There's a YouTube video here. What does this got to say? What's that? The rope swing. There's a video of it on YouTube. Uh, no, the fucking only one. It looks like it anyway.
00:42:29
Speaker
Yeah, it's called Kawabunga Fukamaru. It looks like a family on the river, on a boat, have come across it. So they've rubbed somebody in to go and have a jump. Could be. It looks very stupid.
00:42:49
Speaker
Yeah. Actually, yeah, that was done. What did you do? Did you just search Rope Swing on YouTube? No, just... Fakamaru Rope Swing. And the video was called Kawabunga Fakamaru. But yeah. Other than that... Kawabunga Fakamaru. Oh, okay.
00:43:13
Speaker
Nothing really... Does it show them slinging it? Hang on, I'm going to have a look at this. Live production here. Wait, someone's saying there's an Arapuni... Oh, suspension bridge. Carry on. But that's it, isn't it? I think that is it, well...
00:43:41
Speaker
Yeah, it does look like the same place, but it looks like the log's not there. I don't know. I don't think she's gone back far enough. I don't think the video's gone back far enough for you to see the log. She's doing it from about halfway. She only started from low. Yeah, she's only... Yeah. Oh, wait. No, there is a log there. But it looks... I think you go right up where the tree is up there, eh? There's a tree. Oh, the log is way up high, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Compared to where she's taken off from there.
00:44:11
Speaker
Hard to figure out. Yeah, there probably is, but there's definitely trees missing as well, unless that's further around. Because it's been a long time since it's been gone. Well, this is an old video. Oh, what's this video? Oh, is it? Nine years ago. Thanks, YouTube. So, yeah, if you want to go and check out Rope Swing video.
00:44:39
Speaker
I actually reckon it would have been... Yeah. Oh, that's an old video there for YouTube. So that could have even been taken another three years before that. Who knows? Yeah. Well, there you go. It lives on. We weren't talking shit. Hmm. Hmm. Well, good chat there. Well, it's good to see there is a video. That's the same ones. Yeah, just imagine us with recording devices when we are younger. Cool.
00:45:09
Speaker
No, thanks.
Cannabis and Health
00:45:11
Speaker
There's a few videos around knocker virus stuff. Yeah. Yeah. There would have been a lot more videos of Josh's dick around Eric. Oh, it's easy. Got to have a whole new vocation. Yeah. Well, any other sort of topics you want to bring up, Kazis?
00:45:34
Speaker
We're going to talk about O'Rosa's got any old script recently? Yeah, so moving to the old topics of discussion this week. Oh no, you can have the floor O'Rosa and you sort of tell us what's been happening. Oh, hello a lot on that situation. Some people at work sort of put me on to Cana Clinic.
00:46:03
Speaker
some sort of New Zealand outfit, allegedly legal prescription weed, much like yourself, Matt. You just had to have a consultation, sort of say if you're on shift work and stuff and you want it to try to help aid sleep and that sort of thing. And then, yeah, they sort of review it or review your health and then you can sort of get some delivered products.
00:46:31
Speaker
And, um, yeah, you get on a bit of a plan and see how it goes, but it seems dodgy. It's fishy. I reckon, I reckon it's, um, they don't really give you anything to sort of show the pole pole, uh, as such, you know, so it's like, well, they're just gonna, you know, they'll have, uh, we do you for possession anyway. Well, no, if you, if you are traveling with it on you, you've got to have it in its container with your prescription, with your name on it.
00:47:00
Speaker
That's the only thing that you've... Well, over here, that's what the only thing that they sort of require is that if you are transporting it, that you have it in its original container. I don't keep it in the original container when I'm at home, but I still have it.
00:47:19
Speaker
So yeah, it hasn't arrived yet or anything, but I have sort of tried the product before off the black market, of course. But yeah, good. I do like distantly using it, even recreationally. I am a advocate for it, but don't abuse it. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see the quality and
00:47:41
Speaker
cleanliness of it is meant to be a lot better for you with no leftover fertilizer or any nasties like that like clinically tested and things and I did get a CBD one you know like it's not all just about
00:47:53
Speaker
Um, in high, obviously that is a plus, um, the CBD oil and whatnot sort of helped the old inflammation, um, from training hard and whatnot. Cause I am putting in a bit of effort and whatnot. So to relax the body when you want to sleep, cause you do have a lot of burnout and you know, when your muscles are too sore, you can't sleep. You know, if you've been training, like it's an actual thing, you get overtired and then you just uncomfortable cause you're so like sort of sore, you know, so.
00:48:19
Speaker
interesting to see if the CBD sort of aids in that, you know. I have read, like I didn't read the terms and conditions, obviously, maybe I should have read that, just when you're talking about what to do there. Sounds like someone that read the T's and C's there, but I think I skipped that. But I did read that they do like you to have it simultaneously. They're like, well, the CBD actually
00:48:41
Speaker
works better or I can't explain it. This is what they said. It works better if you have them together. So you have your CBD and then you have your flower as well. And apparently that aids the CBD. Yeah. So we'll see. So I have to give you guys an update on that, how it all goes and how it compares to other things.
00:49:02
Speaker
I have tried the combo once, but yeah, I guess I don't really notice much difference. I wasn't really expecting any. But yeah, now that you mention it, I might try that. I still have some oil left over.
00:49:17
Speaker
It'd be mean to see if it does make you just crash out hard to like, you know, that's what was going on. I was like, yeah, well, it would be nice to, you know, cause I do do shift work 12 hour, 12 hour shifts, get home seven, 30 in the bloody morning, you know, and it'd be nice to just peel out properly after that from time to time. If you do have a real busy night or something, you know, I wonder if it'll help with tolerance as well then. Cause, um, yeah, like sometimes if, yeah, it may,
00:49:43
Speaker
not last as long or have the full effect after a while, so giving it a bit of a booster shot. In general, I think being healthy does aid if you do have problems like sleep and whatnot. I am an advocate of staying healthy and germane and whatnot.
00:49:59
Speaker
Good breathing. But that actually helps me be able to sort of enjoy the medicinal benefits of a bit of smoking and whatnot, because I do sort of keep myself healthy enough to do that. Yeah, that's the piece of the puzzle I'm still trying to work out, is what can I get motivated enough to sort of keep my discipline and to do something?
00:50:23
Speaker
And not, that's going to see me running around on a rugby field and going full contact and stuff like that. So I think sports my best bet there, but yeah, lower impact sports. Yeah, man, even just having a little dojo, I recommend set up a little dojo of things, you know, you might like doing like spin bike or something or rowing machine, you know.
00:50:46
Speaker
Boxing bags a good one, but the skipping I've been skipping a lot and I reckon it's it's real good because it's like an alignment thing you're not sort of an Align like you can't get running, you know in your older age and knee injuries and whatnot You sort of if you've got one weak side your runnings or off kilter But if you're skipping you can actually have real good good posture and I'll be aligned and use both It's like running with both legs, you know, so skipping is a good one
00:51:09
Speaker
And yeah, I reckon it's not necessarily commitment, but it's prioritise it, you know, like you got to make it priority to get fit, you know, make it priority to do that. And then you kind of... You got to enjoy it, eh? When you don't do that, you know, yeah. I think that's a key for me. You've got to enjoy it and I've got to find something that I enjoy doing here. Over the weekend, when I went down to Wanaka,
00:51:38
Speaker
played 36 holes of golf of Frisbee golf, disc golf.
Disc Golf and Electric Skateboards
00:51:44
Speaker
That'll be the ultimate one for your skateboard too on 7-1's Matty because you'll be able to just whip the clean, grab your discs in. I was just sort of made up a course down the road here, the soccer club. And yeah, but some of those courses are pretty awesome to play at, you know? When you say you're made up, of course, do you have some accessories to mark things or do you just aim for a tree or something?
00:52:09
Speaker
Just aim for certain trees, aim for like a lamppost and stuff like that. You can get the nets, but yeah, it's still pretty cool just playing like that. Like it is a way better feeling when you play and you slam one into the chains and it's keep that sound, you know, all of that. We go for a little run around practice, just aim for anything to make your own little course up. Yeah, now it's a fun game. It's a fun game and you get a bit of decent exercise, get out in the sun
00:52:38
Speaker
Well, most of the courses are through trees and stuff, you know, so fairly shaded. Yeah, there's a good course in Topol there that we played at the Sunday Cup today, Rosa. And played the Queenstown one. This goal's underrated, the Brew underrated. Yep, yep. I think it's getting a bit of a following now, eh? Fucking hell, there's one near me. Oh, yeah?
00:53:09
Speaker
Yeah, or if you can take your skateboard. Why does the skateboard go off-road? Not quite at mountain board level? Yeah. That's good. It's got pneumatic wheels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is. I know where it is.
00:53:37
Speaker
for your balance and whatnot, but it'd be mean to have one like yours. I definitely want to get a set up like you've got. I reckon that'd be so sweet, but we don't really have anywhere to ride it here. This guy where I used to work gave me a conversion kit. So I've got actually street wheels on it at the moment.
00:53:53
Speaker
He gave me a set of wheels and the different, cause you use a different size belt, so you did different size gear, the street wheels. So I changed it all over in there. Like I get a longer range out of it now and a faster top speed. I get up to like 38, 39k on it. What is the range, man? So I get about,
00:54:19
Speaker
anywhere between, depending on the terrain and then, you know, if I'm going up hills and stuff like that, conservatively about 20 to 23 Ks on a single charge. But a lot of the times, oh, like after writing for like seven to eight Ks, you want to break. You just like, man, my, the vibrations and you're like, can I be, you know, sort of doing this for a while now.
00:54:45
Speaker
And then normally I ride just a destination, park up for a bit and then ride home. And if that destination's got a place to charge the board, I'll charge it as well. You goofy or regular, mate? Goofy. Goofy, how's him? Oh, that's why I got the street wheels. I'm going to start.
00:55:09
Speaker
Cause a little bit more stable and I got more control and lower to the ground. I can jump off a bit easier, start riding switch and then, you know, do a bit of, um, walking up and down the board and shit like that. I can snowboard a bit of switch, but like the skateboarding switches, I find that actually really hard. Maybe it's just cause of the, I can do it in a pinch, but it's not my favorite. Yeah. I can, I can do it long enough to ride it out or get out of it. But yeah.
00:55:39
Speaker
I reckon I'll be more likely to be able to ride a skateboard like yours than an actual skateboard, Matty, because it's got brakes, you know? Yeah, it helps, yeah. Like, do you find that? Yeah, you've got to do, you've just got to be able to control it. Yeah, so you can at least slow down if you, if you fucking, like, on skateboard it can be harder when you're learning to get that slowing down, stopping, sorted.
00:56:05
Speaker
But the same principle applies though, if you've used a skateboard to slow yourself down by like sliding or skidding. That transfer of weight, it's still that transfer of weight that you need to apply to the board. Otherwise you're just going to go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just going to lose it. So yeah. Yeah. Just right. That's right. So it's the same, but yeah, you can just go more places on the old. Yeah.
00:56:32
Speaker
but I'm going to go and check that out. Pine Rivers Park have got a disc golf course there. I'm going to go and check it out on the way home tomorrow. Download the U-disc app as well there Matt, because that shows you where the holes are and stuff like that. You can chuck your scorecard and stuff in there too. And if you go between the holes, it will give you a little Google type map.
00:56:58
Speaker
Yeah, I've got one for golf. Hole 19 is a good one for golf if you want to golf. It tracks your GPS and gives you accurate yardage as well to the pin. Do you use those Roza? Or do you just go for the old classic scorecard at golf?
00:57:23
Speaker
I'm classic scorecard, bro. I'm not on the maps yet. I don't record my score on it. Let's be fair, I just use it to check the distances. You can just put in your scorecard, like on a digital screen at the golf courses now, where you've got a membership and a membership. And then once you finish your round, you can pin it in and it sort of uploads everything. And there is a bit of an NZ golf app that you use to just look at your scorecards and your handicap in that as well.
00:57:53
Speaker
Some of these fellows with the watch, you know, rangefinders on the watch GPS rangefinders and scorecard on the watch, you know, it was crazy.
00:58:02
Speaker
I hope the old man's got a scope. No, the old man's got a scope. Just a like a monocle or telescope that he puts up and he can just mark the distance. So I've got a digital readout on it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Karen's got one of those today. Yeah. Rage finder. Yeah. Cool. I only go and start that out tomorrow. That could be me. That could be me. Do you get, is there different grades of Frisbees?
00:58:32
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I reckon just if you're going to start off on either to start off a mid range or a punter, don't worry about getting a driver for until you've sussed out those two discs. Then you just watch a couple of couple of videos about a bit of a form and shit. If you want to start throwing like long or anything like that, because it does take a little bit. And then, yeah, fucking just go try it out. It's going to get your weight right when you're on your feet and stuff like that. And just stay strong when you throw it.
00:59:02
Speaker
Yeah. Well, that's my 15 minute drive from here, which is nothing over here. They fly a lot better too. Like an actual disc golf. Yeah. You got to get the proper one. It's not like, it's not like a chain, not like a chain paying one for the beach. That just flips away. These ones actually go. Yeah. Not one with the latest kids movie branding on it. Yeah. A lip on it. And that, you know, some of them look like sources. So I've got a frozen one floating around here somewhere.
00:59:32
Speaker
Well, you'll buy certain ones that'll do, you'll buy certain ones that'll do certain turns and shit too, like you'll, you can throw them normal and then they'll just naturally turn a certain way. Oh, based on what your kind of bias is or... Like these cancels are like, oh surely you don't need that many of this. The proper pros have got like full bags, like it's more this than you'd have golf clubs. It's like getting out there. Yeah. Okay. Ah, still. Then a few of those dudes walking around.
01:00:02
Speaker
Yeah, it could be the one. I'll give it a crack. Tune in next week, next Fortnite, when we talk all about disc golf and this will be a disc golf podcast. They have... Oh, fuck, I lost what I was going to say now. Oh, Rebel Sports mode. You can buy the disc from places like that. Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure I've seen them all before. Yeah, yeah.
01:00:33
Speaker
Me? Could be a good summer sport too. Are we going to stay Rosa? Yeah, yeah, for sure. On up. Carry on. Could what we talk about anyway? Fuck I forgot.
01:00:49
Speaker
Oh, the old MCs, the old drugness. Yeah, got it on a tangent. Yeah, no, the old MC, I hope you have some benefit from it. I think the consistency for me has been the biggest one. Getting, you know, you know what you're getting, there's no surprises. Yeah, and I don't have to deal with no randos. Got delivered by the Posty today, actually, my new bunch. So.
01:01:16
Speaker
Yeah, sick. Thanks, Australia Post. Yeah, that's the other good thing, eh? Don't have to go places to get it, you know? That's just right there. Convenience. You just sorted that out. Yeah, it's good. I did try and sort out getting my prescription released. I'm getting a bit of a run around now about how I actually do it, but so that I can actually go to the chemist up the road and get them to order it in.
01:01:45
Speaker
and then I'll just pick it up from them. So it kind of just saves the, you know, waiting for the postie. I can just go up there and grab it. Yep. I had to, you know, the nuggy left behind the other night. I just smuggled that down to the mainland, down to Queenstown. Right. Yeah, the flight out of Roto's wasn't too bad because he just jumped on there, you know, but
01:02:16
Speaker
when we got to Auckland, you had to go through the actual security scanning and stuff. But they like more just looking for weapons and shit like that. Yeah. Right. Because when you go on a jet, you got to go through there. So I did sort of see it come up when I was watching it go through the scanner. Yeah. But they didn't seem to, they didn't seem to know. I've been worried about it twice now with with my medicine and
01:02:44
Speaker
I didn't get stopped by anyone. Didn't even get asked. I did put it in the back pocket of one of my shorts, so I at least have the thing of, oh, I didn't even know that was in there. I had everything packed, like ready to go in my like, just my, my man purse and just ready to go. Yeah, here's all my stuff. You know, I'm not like trying to hide it. So, yeah.
01:03:12
Speaker
But yeah, the ISO was actually in that time. I've actually looked at what the requirements are for travelling internationally with it, particularly to New Zealand. And the last time I checked, it's allowable as long as you're transporting it in the original containers. But they said that you could, in terms of quantity, three month supply is what they said you can bring in. OK.
01:03:43
Speaker
How are you? Am I going? That seems a lot aid. Does that seem a lot? Three months supplier? Three months. Depends how hard you smoke. Three months for some person might be one ounce. You know? Three months for fucking another person could be a pound. Yeah, so I did look it up. Do you reckon there's someone that would smoke?
01:04:12
Speaker
I think mainly I guess if you are going to be staying there for a couple of months, I guess you would need it, I guess. Yes. Bottom line is that nobody cares about busting you for weed anymore. Oh, no. I think the step is, yeah, gone now. That's not like justifying it. I don't think it's an issue anymore.
01:04:38
Speaker
But I don't want to lose it as my main concern. I'm not worried about getting caught with it. That's not the issue. I just don't want to get it taken away. Yeah, three months supply could also be like people with the oils and any sort of CBD products and all that too. They might need it when they're here.
01:05:02
Speaker
Yeah, well, that's not always like the same. That's why I say medicinal, because it's both a range of products for different ailments or whatever, chronic pain or insomnia or anxiety or whatever. And it's not always the THC that helps with that. So. Yep. Yep.
01:05:28
Speaker
a fun fact that there's like 24, like turpentine, um, compounds and possible THCs, you know, and not all strains have all certain ones, you know, so every different strain actually does have a different CBD and turpentine contents, you know? So that's why they'd say like, oh, it is for anxiety because there are actually ones that, um, don't make you anxious or paranoid and whatnot. There's ones that
01:05:54
Speaker
a little bit more uplifting and things like that, you know? Some pretty special stuff going on, medicinally. Yeah, and it's crazy to think I never knew all about this until just recently. It's, you know, it was always, you don't want to know because you don't want people to know, you know? You know? But maybe not. Yeah.
01:06:20
Speaker
But yeah, I can't find anything, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it was three months supply. That's crazy.
Nostalgia in Gaming
01:06:30
Speaker
Yeah. And I can't believe how good this discord app is. That's pretty clear for this video. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot more clear than yeah. It's heaps of options too. Yeah. Yeah. This'll be, this'll be us for now, I think. What have we run through now? Zoom, Snapchat, like a messenger. Yeah.
01:06:54
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, that's good. Fucking really good. Like really good. You just, you're just on your phone age or like Bluetooth. Yeah. Just, yeah. Just using your phone. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Like me, I almost didn't make it here too. Like, you know, when you're like late,
01:07:14
Speaker
And then you're trying to make something, you know, like I thought this was going to kick off at eight. So I was like, I'm going to rush home. And then I was like, late at work to late to leave. And then I was like, shit. Then this follower was asking for like a jumpstart on the car park. I was like, Oh, no.
01:07:32
Speaker
I still gave him the jumpstart and whatnot. He's like, where you going to go? I was like, oh, I've got a, I've got a conference, an online conference out of this car up in here and then boosting over. Easy to use. That's pretty, that's pretty chill on our start times. Cause it does. There's a lot of safety. Yeah. Yeah. That we're going to do before we can start. So.
01:08:02
Speaker
No stress whenever you can jump in most of the time. Yeah, we've had people join halfway through and then disconnect mid-sentence and carry on. It's all good.
01:08:16
Speaker
Well, I kind of didn't have anything else. There was one thing I wanted to bring up and that was because I did it today. And that was reviving my old original Xbox and getting that puppy running again. The modded version has got probably about, I'll say about 10 to 12 games on there. Played a bit of
01:08:40
Speaker
Burnout Revenge on there today and... Good game. That's a good game. What else do we chuck in there? Oh, Rugby 06. I've got that on disc. So, yeah. That was a treat. Have you got Midnight Club Dub edition remix? I do actually. That's the... I think I might have the 360 version of that as well. But I've got Need for Speed Underground 2.
01:09:05
Speaker
That's a goodie. That's on the hard drive there I was digging around in there today and found one No, I probably deleted that in favor of I've got another game. Oh, yeah juiced though I don't know if you've heard of that. Yep. Yep. Yep played that one. Yep That was a bit odd. That was a yeah Bit different that one but I'm gonna yeah, I'll sort of go through them over the coming weeks I've actually got what do you reckon of this cuz he's I've thought about doing this as a bit of a
01:09:35
Speaker
some content or maybe, you know, start up a different sort of channel. I've got this, you know, remember these bad boys, the old CD cases, when you want to transport all your CD collection. So this is full of, well, not just Xbox games, but also movies, but either
01:09:54
Speaker
going through them one by one and playing it and streaming it or numbering them and saying, pick a number from one to something. And whatever's in that sleeve is what we play or watch for the session. But there's things on here like, well, we've got something for everybody. We've got some steel magnolias in here.
01:10:20
Speaker
collector's edition DVD of Steel Magnolias. We've also got the Amazing Spider-Man DVD, just for some of those movie buffs. But then some of the Xbox games we've got in here is like Fable, Call of Duty Black Ops, Prince of Persia, Greg Hastings, Toyman. Prince of Persia, that's classic.
01:10:49
Speaker
It's on Prince of Persia, that one where you used to be on the computers as well. And you had to jump those spikes and shit like that. Was that an old school game? Yeah, that's a very, very old school game. Yeah. Yeah. This is the Xbox version. But I also got some some ripped versions of games like the Greek Hastings tournament paintball.
01:11:15
Speaker
to keep with that one. So yeah, there's some need for speed carbon in here. So there's a whole bunch of stuff. You used to work in the video store back in the day for quite a while too. So you would have got a decent collection going on.
01:11:37
Speaker
Yeah, well, some of them they threw away or they just kind of like had multiple copies off. So they just sold them for really cheap. And so I just kind of kept hold of them. That's, you know, the stuff I've got in there. I've got some that were in the box with the Xbox as well. Yeah. Some that just, yeah. I've got some old PSP games in there and Nintendo 64 in a box in there as well. Yeah. So I'm slowly trying to get revive them all and get them all set up and working and
01:12:05
Speaker
Yeah. You used a stash, like pirated CD movies and that ripped them in that half of those. And there are exactly that. With the old Sharpie. Yeah. Yeah. I used to try to hold onto the PlayStation games for a while, but yeah, it's the old CD case was classic, but
01:12:27
Speaker
technology took over eventually for that, but I do keep a stash of music on a hard drive. I've always kept music, so I've got about 260 gig of music, you know? And then Spotify on the side. I actually found some movies on the Xbox as well that I've saved on there.
01:12:46
Speaker
There's a James Bond movie on there, like the Daniel Craig one. I think there was Happy Feet on there. Plus some random ones. So yeah, it's a bit of nostalgia. Cleaning it all up today and getting it all running. Fight Night 3. Hey, what a game. Some bloody classics on there.
01:13:10
Speaker
Oh, PS2 and Xbox had the best, like, the best gameplay out of most of the, like, gameplay variety out of nearly any console, eh? And just the attitude, eh? Like, they knew they were games, and they just, um... Yeah. You know, that was all that mattered, is like, is it a fun game? Yeah. Yeah. Now all games are sort of being, like, all just sort of pushed into the similar directions, and they just, eh...
01:13:38
Speaker
They don't want to go against the formula. They don't want to invest money. I mean, that's something that's against the already successful formula. Yeah, it was live service games here for a while. They're the big thing.
01:13:50
Speaker
Well, they still are, but they're kind of winding down now. Before that, it was the old Battle Royale's. They were big. But there's still a big independent development scene out there. You can get some little, like I played this 2D sprite RPG, like the old sort of, you know, Super Nintendo style games on my
01:14:14
Speaker
my brand new Xbox just recently. So there is something out there. I reckon there's something out there for everyone. But yeah, the big bunch of games are just not. Yeah, they just don't hit like they used to. Having said that, they are like probably five of the best games ever that got released this year. Nice.
01:14:40
Speaker
But yeah, other than that, it's good to have lived through the generation of different levels of gaming as well. You know, like quite lucky. It's not just straight to the good gaming, a PS4, PS5 generation. You know, we got like the whole sega and tendos like you had one on the other day. And then, uh, a lot of a PS one dweller. My mom wouldn't actually let me get one when I was younger.
01:15:06
Speaker
We bought one anyway. Sweet Gran Turismo 2, Tekken. That was a good time to come in. That was a great time to come in. Did you say Siphon Filter? Siphon Filter, that was a great game. I've actually got a version of that on the PSP somewhere. Yeah, I've got one on the PS4, Siphon Filter 2, I think, because that's the one that you had. It was a Siphon Filter 2. Yeah, bro. Double disc. Double disc action.
01:15:38
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's when I got into it too, because I wasn't allowed by. Driver games, too. And everything just goes awesome. Yeah. Emote up when it went to PS2 and whatnot near the San Andreas or Vice City. All those sort of games started coming out. They reckon the new GTA 6 is going to be set in Vice City, eh? Or that sort of style. Oh, right. Yeah. Classic.
01:16:04
Speaker
The Italian mod? Yeah, it meant to be a release date being announced in December. What sort of telly are you running, Matt, for your gaming and watching your movies and that, mate?
Gaming Technology and Preservation
01:16:22
Speaker
Telly of... What sort of TV you got? Oh, the telly, television. I'm running a monitor at the moment.
01:16:31
Speaker
So it's only a 32 inch monitor, but yeah, what is it? 120 hertz. So yeah. I've been thinking about getting into the projector game. Cause I see they quite cheap these days. Yeah. Yeah. It's 1600 bucks. You get a set up and then you go to handy inch, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:16:53
Speaker
Now I go for the low latency, high frame rate set up rather than the size just for the old fast, fast Twitch gaming. Yeah. Cause that's a minus on the rig. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's like in, um, for the gaming and the frame rate.
01:17:18
Speaker
Yeah, my monitor is only 1080p, I think maybe. Yes. Oh no, 1440. Yeah, whatever that is. Yeah. But it doesn't do 4k or doesn't have HDR. So like I've traded those off for the higher frame rate. So things look a lot smoother, faster.
01:17:42
Speaker
Because the graphics for me kind of peak at a certain point. I'm like, well, yeah, like to get that quality any better than what I'm seeing right now is not going to have any effect on the actual game I'm playing. No, not for me either. Like I'm still blowing away by the graphics and watch Gran Turismo and that's only on PS4. So next level again. I mean, the game is fun that you don't have to rely on how good it looks.
01:18:13
Speaker
Yeah, that's all about smooth out. Yeah, so that's I've gone with the, but I do have a big tele, which I'm trying to get all these other consoles running on. And I think that's like a 60 inch LCD, old display TV, those ones you find in malls and stuff like that. Yeah, it's one of those bad boys. Old one of those, not a new one.
01:18:42
Speaker
Yeah, no, reviving the old collection. I think I'm going to get it all out and get it all up. Yeah, you're fun. We kept a few of Gran Turismo 2 discs too early. Can you download most of those games online these days, eh? Yeah, not the likes of that, though.
01:19:08
Speaker
You've got to have the disk and you've got to have the console. Why don't they upload them? Licensing. That's one of the best consoles that PS3 with the fucking 60 gig or whatever it was or the 80 gig one.
01:19:24
Speaker
These games run, you can play them and you can emulate them to an extent. Why they don't release them is that there's a lot of music on there. And then they have to pay royalties. Yeah, they only license them for that game for a certain amount of time.
01:19:43
Speaker
That's why they don't bring a lot of these games out or like update them to play on newer machines because they have to go through all those licensing deals again and they're like, no, fuck that.
Flight Simulators and Racing Experiences
01:19:55
Speaker
And then who owns that shit? That's a whole fucking thing. But there are people out there that are archiving all these games, all these old games and stuff like that for preservation, which is kind of cool.
01:20:09
Speaker
Will you get a PS1 emulator and then play journal? Or would you be able to play it online or something? Probably not, eh? Still, because I wouldn't have had that before. Well, the first thing I did was connect the Xbox to the internet and I'm currently halfway through a video about how to... Because Xbox Live, the service is gone. It's not here anymore, but they've got another service that you can connect to to play online on these old games. I don't know about downloading them though, but yeah.
01:20:38
Speaker
right well not from a store but you could yeah you can download them I guess you wouldn't be able to download latte along onto the Xbox there right
01:20:48
Speaker
Well, it has got an emulator. I've got a PlayStation emulator, so I must be, you know, I've got to update all that stuff as well and just see how it works still, what the current state of the modding Xboxes is. I know it may not be at the forefront of technology these days. Nah, it's pretty hard out, but pretty cool.
01:21:15
Speaker
Yeah, well come up Willy, give it a good scrub. Got out the old ISO and electric toothbrush and cleaned everything up. Yep. That was pretty cool. Do you reckon the best ones to buy, PlayStation wise, would you be buying a PS5 or trying to get a PS4? PS5. PS5's going to be better. They brought out a slim one recently, haven't they?
01:21:44
Speaker
And nearly all the games that are on PS4, you can just download the PS5. But those games are all kind of still legit to go. Yeah, yeah. Backwards compatible for most of PlayStation library, yeah. Yeah. I tried hooking the Xbox controller up to the computer, Matt. Yep. Yeah, it works. Yeah, I was thinking about doing that, doing some flight simulator, but for a hookup,
01:22:11
Speaker
PlayStation controller to the old computer and flight simulation, you know, yeah the new PlayStation ones can I think because they are just Bluetooth Yeah, as long as your computer's got Bluetooth you should be sweet Yep, you get into the old flight systems. Yeah
01:22:30
Speaker
I reckon it's like, I've seen one, like some online bloggers and they were like boosting around. It was actually that, um, Oh, who's that Spanish dude in Australia? Like he started out doing some white simulator videos and he sort of got his channel sort of popped off for all sorts of other things. But at the start he was doing some flight, some stuff and like visiting certain countries and that and flying there and just like looking over stuff and the views and that was pretty crazy, but be pretty crack up. Cause you could actually like,
01:22:58
Speaker
Like any game, you memorize how to do it all and what all the controls are and then get better at it. But like learn planes. You like stepping stone to flying, you know? You mean that mod is off, flying simulator? If you're going to get one, you might as well get that where they have like real time data and everything. And yeah, everything's mapped. Everything's mapped.
01:23:22
Speaker
Yes, that was pretty dope. They'll flag you if you try and do a bit of the terrorism stuff on the area, I'd say. I've crashed into the ground heaps of times, but... Yeah. Because remember that one that we went and they was there in Todonga? Yeah. I was like, oh, it's going to be trying to fly into the Sky Town. They're like, no.
01:23:48
Speaker
It was a full on sim. Oh, so you could actually control it. Yeah, it was like a proper, it was a proper one that the pilots actually train on. Oh, I wanted in like a mechanical expo thing that had like a racing sim there. That was ages ago. I rode the car like several times, you know, through the lap, but still somehow got the fastest lap out of anyone that did it.
01:24:18
Speaker
So they gave us a flight simulator again. Nice. Mission failed successfully. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Favorite to my old man for his birthday anyway. And we just went with him. Yeah. Hang out in the back. So was the one that you like old moves and everything?
01:24:45
Speaker
Tilton that didn't go that didn't go that extreme. You were like in a cab you were in a cabin Yeah, but you know, it wasn't like that But it
Podcast Closing Remarks
01:24:55
Speaker
was pretty cool. So like you you know, you had you get a go at a couple of manual landings and stuff Okay, that'd be trippy Yeah Well cuz dogs, um, I kind of I don't have anything else to add if you guys uh, we can kind of start wrapping it up, I guess
01:25:16
Speaker
Anything else to chuck in there at this stage? No.
01:25:23
