• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Well, sorry about the delay everyone. As you can tell,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: yes and other court cases hitters, this time from the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: estate of Trevor Long. He wasn't happy with the way
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: he was portrayed in our last episode and apparently I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: quote touched him inappropriately. Frankly, I don't think I touched
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: him appropriately enough.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: We're back now, which is good news.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Contract and do you know what will be in the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: same studio next time. Hopefully things will work out. We'll
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: get back on track eventually. But me and Trevor best buddies.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Who would have known.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, we're going to be having a lot
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: of well, I'm going to be having a lot of
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: fun because we've changed the thing that we're recording with
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: today and I'm now in control of all the party,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: in control of the sound effects. So as a result
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: of that, you will hear some wonderful effects from yours
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: truly the EP of the show, which I believe stands
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: for executive producers of the show.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I would have said, direct penis and not much job.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: There's my quote puerile humor leaking into this podcast.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, We'll be running through our latest feedback closer
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to the end of the show, so please stay tuned
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Paul's Just so you know, Paul's are totally in control
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of the sound effects. I can't do a thing, so
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I just you your share back on mate. I don't
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: want to say, why are you Croatian dancing? Why are
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you wearing nothing but some weird kind of pomp pom
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: white Beanie only used its ceremonies.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, so he can control a little bit of it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And before we get started, I don't know if you noticed,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: but old mate who we spoke to last time with
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the gr Corolla sold it. I don't know what it
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: sold for, but yeah, it's no longer listed, so good.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I'm glad. We should have got a cut from that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I think, I think so. I think we helped him
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: out with the sale. He he lowered the price a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: little bit. You know what, I've noticed. We're going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: talk about this in our review towards the end, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the civic type bars are starting to pop up with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: quite a few dollars added to the place as people
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: don't want to wait quote two years now. Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Well, the funny thing is Honda is one of the
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: only car companies Mercedes Ben's as well in the country
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: with fixed prices and the dealers are charging more.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: It's like, guys, the whole.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Point of you ripping everyone off with your fixed prices
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: is you can't judge more.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And they're somehow now charging more for.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: The civic tye bar as well, so the dealers will
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: be dealers.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: By the sounds of it, it's kind of pissing me off.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The dealers are doing this too, and I honestly think
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: there should be a rule against it. I mean, to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: buy their own, to have their own allocation, buy a car,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: put some k's on its salat as whatever they like.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Now it's just it's gone free.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's actually not so much an issue for well, it
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: is an issue for consumers, But I as a brand
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: would be annoyed because that is a franchise of your
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: brand that is ripping customers off and giving your brand
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: a bad name. So it's more that as a brand
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: protection thing, you car companies should be outraged with this stuff.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: But it just seems dealers getting away with it, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: you know that they're dourning money while they can, which
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you know, I guess it is their livelihood. They're used
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to doing it, and people don't have to buy the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: car if they don't want to. But ultimately it is
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: something I would have thought car companies would be interested
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in protecting.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You'd think so. I just feel like this is the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: new normal. I don't really think they care too much.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think the new norm is wait for your car.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You'll be waiting a long time. They know that now.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I think the big surprising thing is we are now
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: prepared to shell out and wait, yeah, for long periods
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of time, and shell out shitloads more than the actual price.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating. It's frustrating for a car like the Type R,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: which is a limited car and they're stacking on the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: dollars for it. I don't know. I just it's hard.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's shit to watch. That's all.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent agree. But anyway, we'll talk about
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: that a little bit later as well.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We should. We should mention there's if things that popped
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: up this week. One of them. One of them was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Kupra Travis Scan, which sounds like sounds like a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: scan I have for my ovaries. Yeah, but it's a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: beautiful car. It's a big, big electric suv. It's hard
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to see kind of the proportions of this by the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: press photos, but I'm guessing Volkswagen Group. It sort of
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: seems probably a little bit bigger than the Tigue maybe
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the two Egg.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's interesting because it's.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Going to be built in China and it'll be a
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: joint venture between the Volkswagen Group and the local car
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: brand Jack Jac, with exports to Australia starting in twenty
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: twenty five.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: It is interesting with.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: These cars that I don't know that it seems like
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: they've used Coopra as an outlet for design. You see
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: some of these cars in person and they actually look
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: really cool and edgy and fun. Yet beneath the skin
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: they share a lot of components with Volkswagen Group products.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So it's interesting that they have allowed that to progress there,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and it seems like Volkswagen finally has the idea that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know, you can actually get away with being a
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: bit more adventurous with this stuff.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They're so blatant about all sharing parts. I saw Matt
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Watson during the week look under a Lamborghini Hurricane. Possibly
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the amount of Audi parts he found under there was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: fucking criminal.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Look, I think that you'd have to be an idiot
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to think that there weren't so many shared parts there,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it is.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It is interesting. The closer you delve into it, the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: more obvious it is. How much of the stuff is
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: actually shipped between a lot of these cars.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: What do we think of that? What do we think
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of that? Coopra Travis Scan Is it a travesty? Thanks
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: very much, guys. Yeah, I had to keep my humor
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a little less puerile. Fuck face.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: No, look, I think it looks good. I think it
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: looks nice.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: The whole made in China thing is a bit strange.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I don't really understand what the benefit of that is.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: There must be some monetary gain to be earned from that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: A lot of brands are either moving to the US
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: to take advantage of a lot of the tax relief there,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: or China. It seems of the two sort of easy
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: options for them when it comes to electric cars.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: How do you think they've launched Cooper here in Australia?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Because I remember, is there a dog.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: In your studio? I've just noticed it in.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: The it's my dog, Taco.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Come on, sorry, I just thought we did this on
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a professional basis as opposed to just however you feel
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: like professional? Have you read our comments? That's true, that's cute.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe you could put a photo of Taco up on Instagram.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Bloody huge. I thought Taco was small.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Holy crap, What sort of dog is it?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: There?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: You go, hey, very cute? What sort of dog is Taco?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He's a grudle. He's a half poodle, half golden retriever.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll put a photo up on socials so
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: people know what I'm talking about.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'll put him up, Put him up in the car,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: put him up in the have al jolly on, jolly
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: goody driving along.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Oh'd a bit the last time I do that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: You know, it's actually not too bad. Is the is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the hybrid of that? I will say that it's more
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: balanced than the other stuff. It really is.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Look that they are improving.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They do have a couple of little bits and pieces,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: like their safety systems need a lot of work. They're
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: just too intrusive. They come up with random messages that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: make no sense. The cherry, my god, I remember that
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: driving that down the freeway. One of my colleagues. It
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: came up like thirty times telling him to concentrate, even
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: though he was just looking out the window driving the car.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So it had like a dodgy driver, you know, distraction
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: warning sensor coming up. So yeah, it is really strange
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: how they just can't get some of that right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Every bell and whistle was going off on this thing.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I was telling you before before we started this no
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: joke like word for word. I've got the photo here,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'll put it up on our circials. Hey, do we
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: need to talk about your drive.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Speaking that it was a bizarre message. I wanted to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: send you a video.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: We ran this on the site because I don't know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I've just become addicted to watching watching dash cam owners
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Australia the Facebook page and we came across this one
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: video that I just laughed so hard at and I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: probably shouldn't have laughed, but it was a little bit funny.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: A bloke who was driving a previous Gen Ranger was
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: cut off by a guy in a Jaguar Suv and
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: look the juries out whether he was cut off, It
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: looked like he sped up as the guy was trying
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to change lanes to get out of an ending lane
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: and anyway, once the car is well and truly in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the lane, the Ranger driver tries to be a hero
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and starts tailgating really closely. He then bizarrely drops back
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and accelerates to scare the Jaguar driver and for some
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: reason very gently hits the back of the Jaguar and
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: then something funny happens. So I'm just going to get
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: you to play the video now and watch that for
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the first time.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Okay. So, so it's the back of its dash camp
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: footage of the back of a jag There comes a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: really shitty old Ranger, white range at the back. Oh god,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he's going close. Ah did he did he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: hit him the first time?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: No, it came close. Okay, he comes back for seconds.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: He's going back. Okay, now he's getting some speed on
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that corner. Oh. Basically, for those of you I've just
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: got off.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for those of you who haven't seen it, it
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: is the gentlest tap in the world, and for some reason,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: his air.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Bags off and he cuts see.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it's well deserved.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Any like, someone that does that is just an idiot,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Like if someone cuts you off in traffic. Yeah, I
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: get that it's frustrating, but just don't be an idiot
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: and shit like this won't happen. So yeah, head to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: our socials to see that video. And if we're not
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: allowed to upload it. Head to car expert dot com
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: dot where we've got it down the bottom. They're embedded
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: in a story.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: People are mentally ill when you see that shit, People
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: are mentally ill.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how do you explain that to your
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: insurance company? Well, what were you doing? Oh?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I was tailgating someone and then I decided to ram
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: them for no reason and then my airbags went off.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's like, that is thousands of dollars worth of damage.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: He would have been deafened by the explosion. Inside the cabin,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: there would have been shit everywhere in there.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Just he's luck you didn't run off the road or
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like he's exactly or hit someone else who well, well, yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he's in the middle of the in the middle lane.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: There was a it's done adelaide and that went past
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: him as well. He could have kept that stunning car anyway,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: lesson learnt there.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: So I think maybe what we'll do every episode, let's
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: let's find.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: One of these videos that either you or I haven't
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: seen and we can.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Have a little head of the week.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that. Well, then you and I are
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: excluded from that award obviously.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Well, we've we're pretty much nominated every week we'll say
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: though that we'll get a lovely intro made up and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: maybe we can add that to Paul's button bar.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: At the moment, my button bar has ballpark, which is
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: this noise. It has drums, which is this noise. It
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: has dramatic piano, which is this noise.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: That someone is making love to himself. And finally it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Does intro outro, which is this noise.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm looking to expanding that selection, so that'd
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: be fun.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So other thing, can I tell you what's on
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: my button bar right now? Going? Okay, don't play a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: little game, yeah, go on, okay, this is this will
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: be a game of guests.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: The rev Okay, cool, all right, let's do it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: All right, you're listening, listen, here we go and you'll
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: get it. You'll get a big revenue. Oct came on.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: So say, okay, let me guess the engine first. Is
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it ten cylinders? Yes?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a V ten. It's either in the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: right or the Hurrican.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it is a bit hard to tell between
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: the two, but it sounds a little duller than a horrcan,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So I reckon maybe the right, Oh, it's the Horrican.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Hmm, that's annoying. What sort just the normal one or
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the Yeah?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: All right, are you ready? Here's a clue. This is
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a bit off because it's historical footage. Go on, here
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we go, there's a good clue.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Go again.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So I'm going to preference this by saying
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I took two different revs of this car, different different
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: sound effects, because the first one, even though look genuine
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: what I was recording, it felt like it been modified.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I think it sounds like a V eight.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It sounds supercharged, so I'm thinking, can I hear that
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: one more time?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It's a manual?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: It sounds it sounds like an LSA, which was the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: engine they used in the HSV range.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: That last one doesn't though.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, see that like here the blow that kisses me
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: off because as I said, this was historical footage and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that doesn't sound historical.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the problem.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: It's hard to hear that particular. The first recording sounded
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: very clear. This one is It breaks up a little bit,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: so I can't tell. It definitely sounds like a V eight,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm thinking it's a Holden Slash HSV VAS of
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: some sort.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Half there Taranto SLR five thousand.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that definitely sounded modified that that had a
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: bit of meat to it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: It's definitely not supercharged.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So last tie. This one's shit. It's not about the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: music in the background. Whoever put this one together is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: obviously a massive flog driving a flog car.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like a six cylinder. You know this, well, yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: probably it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a six cylinder and I reckon it could
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: be a Ranger raptor.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, baby's.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Literally the promo video and you know it back to front.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say that I naked to it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's safe to say that I.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Knock that one out of the ballpark anyway, something fun
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I came across, Well, not fun if you're in this category.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: But Queensland has just enacted what they claim the most
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: severe hoon laws in the country, and they're wide sweeping
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: because not only do they affect hoons, they also affect spectators.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And basically what they've done is they've now made it
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: an offence to be a spectator at ahoon event, so
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you don't even.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Have to be involved.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: You can literally have parked on the side of the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: road seen it happening and gone, oh, it's going on
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: over there. It's an offense, so is participating recording And
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: get this carrying spare tires.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That's odd, that is And by the way, from a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: recent trip I took to Queensland, our sunshine state, a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people carry tires up there.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, look at this is the thing, right, I get
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: that you've got you've got like this is a bad thing, right,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: And some of the footage that I've seen is bad
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: because they're literally on the freeway, they stop the freeway,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: they're doing dumb shit and it's not great. But what
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: they're trying to do here is really just put a
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: bit of bit of mayo on this. And in the
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: press release they said, according to the Queensland Roads Safety Strategy,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: the economic cost of road trauma in twenty twenty was
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: six billion dollars and was the cause of fifteen percent
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: of hospital admissions. Okay, what percentage of that was hoon drivers?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Probably not, meaning I would have thought. So they're putting
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of emphasis on this. And the bigger issue
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: is that, Okay, obviously they're not going to pull you
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: over if you have a spare tire in your boot
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: and you're just a normal person, and send you to
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: jail because it's like up to one year jail or
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: a six thousand dollar fine.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I get that, but.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: It gives them them. Do you imagine didn't go into
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: prison or what did you do? Oh, bloody killed a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: few people? What did you do? I did donut in
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the mac.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: But it's like the fact that they're allowed to do
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: it means you're going to have some police officers who
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: will just use that as a reason to send someone
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to jail potentially. So I just wonder who comes up
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: with these laws. The only thing that works against this
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: type of behavior is visible policing. Driving around in unmarked
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: police cars doesn't help anyone you're trying to catch these people.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You are better just sending the helicopter down there.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Closing off the road with marked police cars, and then
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: just running through everyone. Because they have a huge issue
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: up there at the moment with people driving like idiots,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and I just don't think they're really paying much attention
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to it these offenses.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I just don't think they're going to change anything, to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: be honest.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I love how they like they've put this in a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: monetary perspective as well. Like, the first thing you said
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was how much it costs? How much the hone's costing?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Do you know how much it costs to send someone
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to prison? Expensive? Like this country just doesn't like people
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: driving fast. I say that, Yeah, it's a wild one.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I just this is a very very very small handful
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: of people, and the amount of effort they're putting into
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: this is just unbelievable.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: If they put this much effort into.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Just hiring more police officers to just be allocated to
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: this particular task, I suspect it would be a whole
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: lot more beneficial than having to change.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Laws in parliament and waste all this time.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Also, what constitutes a whon? Is it someone breaking the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: speed limit? Is it someone doing donuts on a If it's.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Anything like Victoria, it's at their discretion. So you could
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: lose traction off.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: The lights and it would be a hoon offence and
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: they could impound your car. So it just depends on
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: what kind of police officer you find on the day.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Did you get a little bit excited over the sneak
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: peak of the new Tesla?
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, maybe the little peep show.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: So if you don't know what we're talking about, images
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: leaked online of what appears to be the facelift for
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the Tesla Model three and eventually the Tesla Model Why.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: What's been happening at the moment in the States is
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Tesla is constantly dropping the prices of their cars to
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: help increase the amount of sales that they get. And
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: it's because they always set targets for deliveries and they
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: come very close to missing them, and then they have
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to gut the price to sell more cars. That annoys
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: owners because you instantly lose money on your car, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: it also just affects appreciation and it's just a complex
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: issue that isn't helped by what they're doing. One of
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the things they said very early on is they won't
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: do facelifts and design changes like other manufacturers, and the
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: fact that they are doing that now, the fact that
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: they are gutting their prices constantly, means that they really
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: are just becoming another car brand that is doing what
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: other car brands do.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So I do like the look of it.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: It looks to me like they're going to have a
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: dash cluster as well, which I'm excited for because they
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: need it separately.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sort of relying on that really minimalist, stripped
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: back look with the one screen in the middle that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't go into landscape like a byd At. Yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I mean they're obviously not aiming to build dreams, but wow, yeah,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: someone someone has someone is Yeah, so I think that
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: they need to really work on that and I'm hoping
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: it does have a display there just what matches the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: model less or at least that it's an option or something.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, look, I'm excited for it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: It's nice to see just a little bit of change there,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: and it just means these cars are getting cheaper in
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Australia too.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: It needed to happen, like there's hindsight. It's a beautiful
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: thing because like if they went back on their word saying, oh,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: we'll never change the design, you know, do once every
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: ten years or whatever, this needed to happen. Clearly it
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: needed to happen. You cannot live with one design. It
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: just becomes boring.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: And well that's what people are creatures of habits.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: So if you have a car that looks the same
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: as one that's five years old, why would you upgrade it?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: You would have no reason to spend money. And whereas
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: if you change the design all of a sudden, Tesla
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: has a reason for someone to go and drop money
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: on this car again, So it's just plain as day
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: why you would do this. So yeah, so it'll be
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: interesting to see how it goes, and it'll mean that
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: their cars will be wildly different in terms of the design.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: When the cyber truck comes out.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, that thing just looks, in my opinion, just
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: bizarre and not very functional, and it looks totally different
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: than the rest of their cars. And I just don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: know how that's meant to make any sense. It might
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: make sense, we'll see, but yeah, it's a bit of
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: an odd one.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: It is an on one. I wonder if that'll actually
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: come into few fruition, because that's that was promised what
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: last year, really like.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Two years ago.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: They keep delaying it constantly, And while they're delaying it,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: other brands are starting to sell things like they're selling
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: f I fifties in record numbers, the Lightning, they're selling
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: stacks of Hummer Evs, Rivians, and all of those vehicles
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: look significantly better and more useful in my opinion. So
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I know some people like the design of it, but
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I just think it'll just yeah, it's just not not great.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: But I think by the time they get to the party,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I just I don't think it'll be that spectacular as
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it once was. Like the shop values well and truly
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: worn off. I just can't see it happening. Ye should
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: we talk type R Yeah, let's do it now. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: want I want to bring to the table. Is this
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the most? Is there too much over hype with this car? Personally?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I was never a type ARE guy. I was never
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I was never a Honda guy in this sort of scene.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I was. I never understood the red seats and the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: whole look. I mean, the last generation looked like it
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was built by a twelve year old kid with lego.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I never really got it. Having said that, I was
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: never off the Japanese street car, saying I was always
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a big fan of Subaru's. I had a two sixties
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Z you know, I love it. But I could never
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: understand the.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: You mentioned that you had a whole bunch of sdis
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: when you were younger. Right, Oh, no, that was that
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: was not a car thing though, that was a that
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: was a different thing. Yep, thanks, I'll be here all week. No,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: but I know what you mean.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Honda had a very select type of audience for their cars.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm surprised that that this car doesn't come
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: with like a flat cap and of vape. But I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: drove it, and I love it. I fucking love it
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and everything. The actual driving experience of this car made
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: me overlook everything I didn't like. That's how great it was,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: everything from the red seats and the red carpets and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the wing at the back. In fact, this whole car,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's toned down. Well, I think it looks
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: really good and I think it's the best looking one
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: that they've put out in years. But the yeah, let's talk.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: About the stats, because well, just on the design before
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: we run into the stats. So I totally agree.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I thought the last one was a bit over the
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: top and it would exclude a lot of people who
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: didn't want something ricey and over the top. Whereas this
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: new one looks aggressive because it sits wide, it's got
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: a great stance, but it's not over the top. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: even if you wanted to show off a little bit,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: people know what it is. But if you didn't want
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: anyone to really care that much, it also fits that
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: bill too, like it is it is quite impressive from
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: that regard.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Before the hype started flowing in, the reviews started coming
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in from overseas and stuff. I thought. On paper, I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: mean you look at say the zero to one hundred
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: time on this claimed I think is for five point
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: four seconds, two hundred and thirty five killer. What's four
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty meters of talk? Right, So you compare
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that to the Golfer, which is similar figures zero to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: one hundred and four point eight. So even the bloody
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I thirty and sedan, I mean that that had a
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: zero to one hundred times of like five point one.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: It had a better time. But so on paper, I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: was like, well, this is such a good case of numbers.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Don't sell cars.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. And that's the thing. Like the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Golfer on paper is technically a better vehicle. It's got
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: all will drive, it's.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Quicker in a straight line, all that sort of stuff,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: but it is just so boring in comparison to a
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: type the type as manual only it is incredibly quick
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: point to point, It handles unbelievably well. You know, there
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: is very little to not like about it, and I
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: think that they've achieved a great thing with this car,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: and it will be a collectors item down the track.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: And actually if you even if you compare it to
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: the GR Corolla, like the GR Corolla, even being all
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: wheel drives, still isn't as tuned or as focused as
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: this is. This just feels on another level altogether, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I think it has become the king of the hot hatches,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: like it is quite sort of a huge achievement. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: actually just published that they got a record lap time
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: atnerburg Ring. There is an attatched to this, so they
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: basically dethroned the Reno McGahan trophy are that had the
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: previous record, and a look a bit complicated because they
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: changed the rules for how long the lap needs to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: be for the record and this was under the new
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: rules and it looks a little bit strange there in
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: terms of the numbers, but it is a faster time.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: But the controversy controversy, that's an Italian terming some of this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I add some source on that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: So the controversy is that apparently there is a claim
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: that the time has been cheated.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: And the background to this is there's a bloke called.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Mesha Charudin who's basically a YouTuber who works during the
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: on season at the nurburg Ring. He's driven a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: of cars around the Nourburgering. I've met him before, really
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: nice guy and knows his stuff. He's basically come out
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: and said that the car.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: That was used for the official lap time wasn't a
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: stock car. And what he's done is he's.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Referenced two bits of footage, one from another publication's lap
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: time of that car and then one from an autobarn test.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: What he's done is referenced two spots in fifth gear
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: when the car changing gears, and you can tell that
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: with the test car that was used at the Nurburgring,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: it produces more boost and is traveling faster at the
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: same rpm that the other two cars are, which leads
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: him to believe that that car has either been tuned
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: or had some different type of fuel used that's given
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: at that extra performance. So Honda hasn't responded to this
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: yet at the time that we're recording this, but I'll
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: be interested to see what they say, because according to Honda,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: the car was stock outside of optional tires that you
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: can get as part of a package with the car.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, what do you reckon about this. Do you
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: think it was a controversy?
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, you can't claim something something. There's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of prestige around something like this, around a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: claim like this, and I don't think you can, certainly
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: if it's untrue. But there's got to be some sort
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of regulations, like if they've tuned the car differently, or
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a loophole with the fuel perhaps.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I just would find it weird that they've cheated this
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: system and then publicized it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Well that's my thing as well, like why would you
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: go hard on publicizing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: It if you did cheat? So it just it makes
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: me wonder what's going on.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm really keen to see what the outcome of
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: this is because I haven't paid enough attention to the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: nuances here, but there certainly is a couple of sort
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: of question marks over this stuff.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why they would need to cheat.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: It is an incredibly accomplished car. You're really not achieving
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: anything by cheating.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll be keen to see how it pans
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: out for them and what the response is.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: And we will follow this up once we do. Hear
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: back from Honda and see what the outcome of it
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: all is just.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Under seventy three grand. I know, there's starting money, isn't it. Yeah,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: it's a lot. It is a lot. And yeah, that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: was kind of my thought. I was because I thought
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to myself, seventy three grand. But they're advertising. I mean,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: that's a two year wait if you get it for that,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: or I could get it now for there's actually one,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a reasonable one that's on car sales at the moment
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: for about seventy six. Yeah, I mean if if you're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: not prepared to wait, you can get one for just
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a few grand more, which I thought was pretty good.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of dealers which pissed me right off of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: selling them from a round about seventy nine to early eighties.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I think, look stock as it is, it's an excellent car.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It'd been a while since i'd driven a stick shift,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and given this is one of the greatest I've ever driven,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I'd say it's especially in the last couple of years.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's God, it's good, Like the throws are good,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the way it handles, it's so intuitive. It's just it
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: fucking made me feel so great. I have to say,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: like you're going around a corner and the limited slip
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: diff just is so in tune with this whole car.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: It's such an absolute joy. And whether it's numbers wise,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: whether it's fast or not, I don't care anymore like
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you don't care. It's just it's so well put together.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And I would buy this. I would want one hundred
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: percent buy this from someone. And this is someone who
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: never understood the car, never really got the red seats,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: like the fuck on the outside looking and you look
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: at those red seeds because the back ones are black.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: It looks like some boy racer kids just gone down
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to the border and bought a couple of cheap Ricardos
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: on sale. But yeah, it's I mean that Alcantara steering wheel,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the way the seeds hug you in the driving position.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Everything is just excellent in this car. Excellent and made
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: me overlook everything I didn't like I thought. I mean, look,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I could nitpick, you could look at the tech on
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: it and go.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I think it needs more sound.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the exhaust sound could do with an improvement.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Inside the cabinet's okay, but outside it just sounds a
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: bit muted.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: And I found the same with the gr Corolla.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: It just needed a bit more, but this is all
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: stuff that you can go and change, like you can
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: go get an exhaust fairly quickly.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: What was your take on the tech in this, because look,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I think the race tech in it aside good, but
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are doing that now.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's that special anymore. I mean the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: logging system I think is really cool. There's a few
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: cars out there that are doing that well these days.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: But I thought the tech in it was a little bit.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It was good, but it wasn't seventy three thousand dollars good.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a better camera system on it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's not. It's got no three to sixty camera.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: It's not a quantum leap over a standard civic in
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: terms of the stuff that you're getting with it. But yeah, look,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I think it does what it says on the box
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: really well. I'd be more disappointed if it had all
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the tech and just wasn't really all that fun to drive.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I think it sort of meets that brief. It is
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: pretty firm, so obviously you know you're.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Expecting that, but when you go to that plus R mode,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: it's like they just take the suspension out and the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: wheels are directly connected to the body. It is so firm,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: it's just the next level. Yeah, if you're going to
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: be on a track with it, it really is quite
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: a composed beast.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm a huge fan of it. And yeah,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: had off to anyone that bought one and all has
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: an allocation for one and isn't getting ripped off by
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: a dealer.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you do notice a difference between Like far
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: too often you look at a drive mode and from
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: sport to NAL drive plus R mode, you know whatever,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: that that little jump is sometimes minimal and could be disappointing.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: This is a proper jump in all modes from comfort
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: to sport to plus.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you do notice the difference, and that's what I
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: love because it is very defined. There's no sort of
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: faffing about with it. So yeah, I love it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: It's really cool and yeah, excited to see what the
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: outcome is of this, this Neurburgreen lap record thing. Just
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: getting to the bottom of that. I think we'll be
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: good too. A bit of controversy, never heard anyone.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred of released what I think is a
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: new classic. I mean it's always been there, but it's
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: such a good jump. Yeah, we should rap, We should rap?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: How do we wrap? Oh? Hey, do you want to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: hear some great news? Yes, before we go into some
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: before we go into some lovely comments. We are I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: think we've got some merch coming.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, actually, let's let's talk about that. We
• 33:03

• 33:08
  Speaker 3: called Gus get in touch with us who is basically
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: a merch specialist.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Picasso.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: And we won mentioned his company just because I don't
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: know if he wants us to mention it or not
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: just yet.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But because I think he's actually using company printers.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Well he owns the company, so I think it's okay.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: But anyway, we will check first. But yeah, we could
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: have some merch coming, which is exciting. Yeah, I'm loving that.
• 33:43

• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to a vending machine and you can get used under pads.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can get just Donna to wear a couple
• 33:52

• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, beautiful, excellent.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Well, before we do wrap, let's go through some feedback
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: since our last episode and two polar opposites. So I'll
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: start off with the slightly negative Nancy one.

  Speaker 3: they need to look at. They say, Paul, you have
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: a brand to protect and you're not doing yourself any favors.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: The attempted humor is quite pathetic. Couldn't agree more with
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: third rate humor.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just on that. I don't know what he's talking about.

  Speaker 1: Hey, one question about your super right. I was sitting
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in one on the weekend. You turn around in that thing,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you literally have a blind spot like there is there's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: just a wall of car next to you.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not the best thing in the world to
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: see out of. Is that a pain in the ass, Yes, yes.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Apart from driving it getting out of it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, getting out of it, as as I progress in
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: age was tricky. So I'm glad I don't do that anymore.
• 37:36

• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Right now, you got the high up sort of raptor

  Speaker 1: now has the update where it actually applicates your hemorrhoid
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: cream and it has the voice of Elil Musk going.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Is that Okay?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: He's gone off the reservation, hasn't he? That rocket exploding
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: wasn't great.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: He's learning experience, as he likes to call it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, just a very very expensive one.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: What that rocket was for? You know what I mean?
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: You kind of look at it and go, why why
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: did you do that? Why?
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I think they're actually testing the launch pad from memory
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: to make sure it would stay alive because it was
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: so powerful. I think I actually genuinely.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Now, anyone questioning Paul's background or a reputation of
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: being an engineer, I'm pretty sure he just tarnished his
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: own I had nothing to do with that.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you do follow SpaceX and a fan of
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: rockets and stuff, send us a d M or an
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: email and let us know how wrong I am.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I think it was something like launch pad related
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: rocket like rockets and stuff, quote Paul engineer.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: So, yes, we're hoping to be in the studio again
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: together actual show.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: That is all TV to the sea. Yeah, but in the.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: We'll get that be positive. Well there and I won't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: be going to your bloody officers with your friggin' ea.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I am going to get that sorted. Next time.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to have sign writing and stuff on the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: walls here, which I haven't asked permission for, but I
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: don't really care, so that should be great.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: You own the freaking joint. You don't need to ask
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: for any permission. You don't need to ask for anything.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? You could put that, I mean,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you've already one of your walls has a big mural
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: of you wearing nothing but a pair of wife fronts.
