• 0:13
  Speaker 1: aren't we towards This is going to be a really
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: short podcast.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was busy, and you'll find out soon about
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the time that, well, you organized a bunch of stuff
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and I didn't. I didn't communicate with you correctly.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Actually, do you know what this is? Why I've had
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a great week. One I got to drive a whole
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I got to drive a few cars that were on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: my bucket list. I've driven them before, but this time
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: quite fast. That was an outright The other one was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a bmw M three competition, which, oh man, it's such
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a refined car. Anyway, we'll get we'll get into it later.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But I also got to do the one thing that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was at the top of my bucket list, and that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was to take Trevor Long into a creepy basement and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: put a blindfold on it, a.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Pink blindfold as well, pink blindfold.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He loved it.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, hearing about this.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So Trevor and I found ourselves in a studio alone together.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks for that, Pavelai.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Actually, I've got to be honest. I did this on purpose,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: because the last time we were together, I could feel
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a real tension between you guys, and I just thought,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you know, the best way to let them nut it out,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: so to speak, is to leave them in a room together,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: one blindfolded with a sort of frillly pink blindfold and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: the other with I don't even know what device he
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: had for you, But how did that go down?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. I learned a lot about Trevor that day.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You know. I was looking at Trevor sitting across the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: studio and I was thinking, you remind me of someone,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't put my finger on it, and then
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I realized he looks like a courtroom sketch of a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: man who's done some sort of sexual crime. Anyway, So yes,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I took Trevor de Actually, should we play this now?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just do that, because then it won't be
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: as well. I assume it won't be as weird.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'll roll the tape. I don't think Paul's showing up.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I mean I got here on time, I haven't checked,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I haven't reconfirmed. Shut up, trev He's definitely not coming.

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: this body by gun on the gym?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Certainly not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: This is cadre induced.

  Speaker 1: You're actually slowly turning into a Chico roll.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Oh it's better than turning into the gobbleddock?

• 2:54
  Speaker 1: from hr stuff? What is that?

  Speaker 3: Don't pretend to be younger than you are.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm younger than you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I understand that because I'm feeling much more people
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: people listening out with the gobbled dookies. Listen, I've got
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: a great present from Amanda and Jonesy.

• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I won't stand for this, Amanda.

  Speaker 2: five year old.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He's going to sex bo and he's playing with.
• 4:05

• 6:32

  Speaker 2: That could be a Gillaway.

  Speaker 3: All right, Well, it's got strong lines, strong lines. Oh

• 7:25
  Speaker 1: bring it over?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Who's bringing over?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You've got a bit of a taste of the engine.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I immediately felt Ferrari or push, but then I did.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Have a sense of land beginning.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: But at this point I'm feeling Ferrara.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's get let's get touching. Bring it over,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: bring it over, bring it over.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Oh oh oh jesus, hang on a minute. All right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the kind of it's very very square. Okay, obviously four
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: will drive. So let's rule out Porsche because it's too square,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: it's too tall to be a Ferrari out and it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: not a Urus, so that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Rules out everything. I just suggested that down be the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: biggest giveaway. Now that you're up the bath. Very square.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: That's a range Rover. It must be at SV eight
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: or something. It's what do they call it. They've got
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: a name for their sports.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: M Is it a range rover?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a range rover, sport with.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: The sv whatever the hell it's called SVR SVR that's it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, take you blindfold off it well and in pearl too.
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Wow. So I remember when this is like the AMG
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: equivalent of it was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Actually I remember when they launched this.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: They losched it up on the Central coast and we
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: got to drive it around a private road and that sound,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, that doesn't come from a range road.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about. It's incredible, I think to me,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that sounded when you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Brought it over, I thought it was a Ferrari.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: That wasn't a gr That's the greatest thing. I recommended
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: his car Scoop City up the front, but the back
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: with the quad exhaust, and it's.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: I got to say this, Matt Pearl, I don't mind
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: at all.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It's nice. I do not mind. Are you in this
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with your yeah Emily wagon?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: All right? I love it? Big ass car, Yeah, big
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: ass car. You're ready for cart number three? Stand in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the corner, standing the dirty corner where you belong car
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: number three.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's very deceptive.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: That's very deceptive because when you bring it over, the
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: rumble sounded nice. But over here look at his air conditioner.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Two steps forward.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: So my initial thought again was push, because I had
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: a nine to eleven a few weeks ago and had
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: this kind of I don't know, very nice, subtle, we'll
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: hang on, very pointy, very pointy, but large headlight.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: What are you thinking so far?
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Matt?
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Matt Finish, it's going to be a luxury European.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You're on a good track.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: It's not a coupe. It's a bit more. It feels
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: like it's a sedan.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So it's a sedan.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice little lip.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Mercedes.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Why don't we go around into
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the passenger seat? Yeah, you can have a good listen
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: on there.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Am I feeling my way around there?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yes? I wouldn't miss that for the world.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: It's very bulbous lights as well, very bulgy.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Is this the driver's about the car?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I've never gott into a cart blindfolded before.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So can I feel in here as well? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I feel the interior. What do you think?
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Info attainment's up high.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: But it's not a Mercedes because they like to blink
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: things together. It's got hints of BMW and Volkswagen. So
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going M three.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Take you blind off, Take your blindfold off? MW definitely
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the MW M three competition.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Oh what does that add?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that adds all this, that adds all this fiber,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that adds this.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Oh that's very nice.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: It's a nice subtle growl and I reckon there's probably Yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: there is an exhaust button.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: We love an exhaust.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Any any car that has the little exhaust button is
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: a car I want to be in.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's really meaty, isn't it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: It's funny because the range Rover has more kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: throat to it, you know what I mean, where this
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: is a little bit more I don't want to say restrained,
• 11:31
  Speaker 11: but there's a bit more throat to the to the ranging.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ah, well, Paul down he did, but we're best.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He's now so screw you, Paul, Yeah right or dies right, Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Wow. That was so touching, and for you as well.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that it was a bit touchy.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Fairly.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I'm glad the feuds finally over. And I'm actually good
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: on Tred for being a good sport because despite me
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: saying that I deliberately didn't turn up. I yeah, I'll
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: say it's your fault, but due to wires crossing, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: didn't turn up, and thankfully trev actually turned up and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: took my place normally. I of the gagger is that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: he should replace you, but.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Trev no, no, no, shut up, shut up. Car companies
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: would be jumping like rats from a seeking ship if
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Trevor Long got involved in this fault.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: But would there be a few uphots we wouldn't be
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: getting sued. Yeah, people would want to deal with us
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: in professional life. We'd receive good ratings.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? We're quite a reputable podcast
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: according to Johnna. Yeah, have you got reach out some
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: can News? Have you got any more dms from Donna lately?
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: No? No, she hasn't slid into my dms recently, so
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I think I don't know if she's made parole yet
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: on but yeah, hopefully.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Donna would probably slide into your dms. But like should
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: put a little video she slides into your dams like parently, family,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it's me parently, it's Donna. Me neck me back. I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: think I left some snacks under me rack. Hey Pavely,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I heard you like commodoores hed you like me on
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Old Force.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That's good. I like that.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Do you do you want to be king of this mountain?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Wei should talk can News because you decided to take
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: another chicky trip to Sweden, which your family must have
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: been wrapped about. Actually, the would have been genuinely excited.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say I think I went too
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: uneven praised by that one.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But then this is this is kind of called the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the Ionic five N their arrival to the Kia EB
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: six G T.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, I was sworn to secret. We were driving
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: prototype versions of the on five in and it's actually
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the place is fascinating. It's called Argiplog, and I'm sure
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that right, but it's basically a region
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: in the Arctic Circle within Sweden where there's five or
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: six different proving grounds and then a stack of tire
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and manufacturer sort of shared proving grounds within the area,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and they all set up base there over winter and
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: they set up tracks over the lakes that are frozen
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: obviously at the time, and they develop all of the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: cars heating systems, fuel systems, traction control systems. You've got
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to think that I heard some great stories from the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: guys at the Holden proven ground. They used to go
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: there in like a VA commodore, for example, and they
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: would put the worst fuel they could find in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: cars and just let them sit outside overnight in like
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: negative twenty degree temperatures and try and crank them. And
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the whole point of it was to make sure that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: if a customer wound up in this worst case scenario
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that the car would be capable of starting and not
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: having any issues. So this place is where all of
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of testing happens, and Hyundai shares a facility there.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It's called the Mobus Test Facility that's owned by the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Hyundai brand. So we had a chance test IK five
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: end there and also put to test a system they
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: have called the Drift Optimizer, and it's basically it allows
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you to do drifting in this car and we're doing
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: it on a frozen lake that when I got out
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: of the car I couldn't even stand straight on because
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: it was so slippery. Yet the car is able to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: allow you to do these epic drifts, all sort of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: fully controlled by the car. It was just absolutely unreal
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and it just shows you how much tech has actually
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: gone into this thing. And yeah, I'm excited for it
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to finally be launched.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: What can you tell us about the interior because from
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: what I could sort of pinpoint and I'm not gonna
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: like it's a weird one with the Ionic five because
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I've got a love hate relationship with the interior. It's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: kind of cool at first, Glann, but after you spend
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: some time in it, it becomes not as practical as
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you thought. But the EV six, for instance, has the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: big seats with the gap and behind them. I'm guessing
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: this would have the same sort of thing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a similar setup. They have made some changes
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to the interior and we couldn't take photos of the interior,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but basically, the steering wheel is different to other Ionic fives,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: so you've got extra buttons on the steering wheel for
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: all these n modes, and in addition to that you
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: have different seats as well, so they're really quite supportive.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: They hug you in nicely. The car has a big
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: set of brakes. It's got different design up the front
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: there with these big air dams that lead air in.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: It's got like a little spoiler built onto the back,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and more cooling for the rear motors. Sorry for the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: rear motor, but it is. It is a very different car,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and I think the design is going to be significantly
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: different to the EV six in the sense that the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: EV six GT doesn't look so different to the rest
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: of the EV six range as the Hendonic five will
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: look totally different. One of the things that I love
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: about it that they spoke to us about was the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: ability to adjust your talk split so within the car
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: you can actually send all of the talk to the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: rear axle or the front axle, or any combination in between,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: similar to what you can do in Tesla products. They've
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: also created fake gear shifts so you can drive it
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: as a manual car. It's so weird. So you accelerate
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and then you pull the lever to go up to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the next gear, and it simulates a sort of gear
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: shift in a talk bend.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, So you'll feel like a typical gear shift, almost.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Like a clutch. Yeah, yeah, right, and you can go
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: up and down gears like it is a remarkable sort
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of setup that they've done, and the whole reason they've
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: done this is so that they can give a driver
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: transitioning from an internal combustion end car to one of
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: these a bit more comfort. And then they even take
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: it one step further with noise as well. They're going
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to make it so you can upload all of your
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: own noises to the car as it drives. So yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I reckon, it's pretty unreal. We don't know what the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: price is yet. I reckon it'll be one hundred grand mark.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: It'll probably be as quick if not slightly quicker than
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the EB six GT, and Albert Bimm and the sort
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of the technical director there, he's sort of quite confident
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: that this will be able to do to full lapse
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: of the Nerberg Green without any power degradation, which I
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: think is pretty surprising to me. So yeah, look, I'm
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: keen to have a drive of it when it is
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: not just on ice surface adaptive damping too for the ride,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: and obviously our drive was fairly limited in terms of driving.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: It was from the test facility through to the lake
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: test track and on this sort of right in handling
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: track as well, but on early counts it actually is.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: It is a pretty pretty cool thing and looking forward
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to having a proper drive.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what this looks like because I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: love I've become a bit of a fan boy of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: what end products are all about and what they stand
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: for lately, and I think Young Day of just an
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: example of doing this, showing the industry on doing this
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: right because they've done it well. And I like the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: fact that the end products are a different they look
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: different too, like that. One of my biggest disappointments with
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the EV six GT, apart from a few little tweaks
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and quirks here and there. It didn't look that much
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: different to you know, the the EV six. I think
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: car people would probably obviously be able to tell the difference,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: but you know, the end cars are a completely different beast.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'd like the I've heard whispers there could be screens
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: on the steering wheel similar to the Mercedes as well.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that you can. I love the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: fact that you can. You can like customize the noises
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: like as you're going that. It's just it's bizarre, the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: fact that you can customize this. To say, when you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: get up to say a hundred, Paul's car would just
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: start going oh yeahs as in the streams Kenny Rodgers, Babe,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you know this one. You're gonna pull over? You want
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to pull over car? Yeah? What do you?
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: Reckon?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: He's pull over?
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Just just just for ships and gigs. Can I call
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you Donna? Would you mind? Okay?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks? Triv So I was browsing the internet and came
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: across the Hummer EV suv because I know they did
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: like a sort of pick up version, but there is
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: actually an suv version coming. They reckon They have ninety
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: thousand Hummer EV reservations about sixty percent of those for
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the pickup. Have you seen this thing?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: It is incredible. Like once upon a time, I think
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I said to you, Americans can't do interior, and that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is that is that's changing big time. That's changed with
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the with the Ford Ranger stuff, and it is certainly
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: changing with this Hummer. It is just incredible.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I've said all along that with these things,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Hummers have always been just about being the most ridiculous
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: vehicle for every ridiculous reason. And this is no exception.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It is just a pointless ev because it's like zero
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to a hundred in like under four seconds. The battery
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: pack is ridiculously enormous and unnecessarily enormous. It weighs a
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: ridiculous amount as well, like it just has no logic
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: to it whatsoever. But even the numbers six hundred and
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: nineteen kilowatts of power and this is will we'll talk
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: fifteen thousand new meters of talk, I mean, and they're
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: working on like an even more ridiculous version that's said
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: to be like seven hundred and fifty kilowats of power
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And the weight in this thing, like if you get
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: if you get hit by one of these, the survival
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: rate is zero. There is zero chance you are coming
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: back from getting hit by Ahama.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it is. It is ridiculous. And I'm just
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: googling the weight here, so nine thousand pounds, so that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: is let me just ten thousand lbs to killograms. It
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: weighs four and a half tons.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: It's just ridiculous.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just have no words. So yeah, look, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: think there's a chance this may eventually come to Australia.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And that's one of the cool things with evs. They're
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: just easier to do conversions to right hand drive because
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: you have less of those components that you do in
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: internal combustion cars getting in the way of things, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: they have often eat pass set up steerby wire systems.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's pretty cool. And yeah, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: just ye, just look at it. It just looks stupid.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It looks amazing. Once upon a time, Arnie was famous
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: for driving one of these. And also yeah, yeah, there's
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: also a radio guy in the States called Howard Stern
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: who had one of the first Hummer stretch limos. Now
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: every bogan go into it. That is funny, bloody, desperate
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and dateless ball in the country has got one of these.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: But there's such a cool car.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: The battery size two hundred and twelve killer what hours?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That are compared to let's say, my Tesla more Why,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: which is sixty sixty ish killer what hours? It's like
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: almost four times bigger than that. It's just just ridiculous.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I also love? I love the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: fact that you can take parts off. Yes, it's just
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: so cool. Sorry, I would much rather just watch this
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: than Paul's face. I think I think the front light's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: up too, like the letters up the front yep. Yeah,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: what a beast ah Anyway, So you know what else
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is ridiculous?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Would you pay one hundred and forty thousand dollars for
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a Corolla?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Does it have the letters gr attached to it?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It does? But would you pay that much? Because that
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: is what a dealer in the States is trying to charge.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I have this thing called market adjustments in the States,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: and it's basically an ability for the dealers to go, hey,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you know what, I know that this is limited, so
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and just charge you whatever
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: you want, you know, whatever I want for it. And
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the market adjustment on this has put it up at
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: just around one hundred thousand US dollars, which converts to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: about one hundred and forty thousand Australian dollars. It is
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: clinically insane. And I know that Toyota here in Australia,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: we're trying to avoid that and didn't want to sell
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the car to scalpers, but it's already happening. Like you
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: look at the people that have taken delivery and they're
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: already sort of straight onto car sales with stupid price
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: sort of listed on them, which you can't avoid ultimately.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: No, I was just about to start looking that up actually,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: because yeah, it's I mean, there's no more spots. Very
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: much like the gi Yaris. They're gone. They're gone before
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they've arrived, which pisses me off in a way because
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: they're not necessarily going to the right people. They're just
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: going to the people that can you know, chuck what
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand dollars on a car instantly and no, they'll
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: probably make at least fifteen on it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the thing. It is kind of frustrating
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: because it locks actual people out from buying these things,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Like there's one list now on car sales for ninety
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: seven thousand, some five hundred dollars, which is like twenty
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: grand above asking And you know, I just think, I
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: just think these people are you know, they're just profiteering,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: So you know, good on them, I guess is it
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: is what it is. But ultimately, at the end of
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the day, you're going to have to I don't know,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you just lose brand appeal when this stuff happens, because
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: if you don't get one, you're not going to come
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: back for it because there's just no way you're going
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: to pay a hundred k for it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I also wonder how long that that's going to stick for,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: because you know gr yaris you could get when they
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: were readvertising that and scalping those off, it was probably
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: about fifteen grand over the buying price. So now would somebody,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: even with say five thousand k's on now, would someone
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: pay far fifteen grand more than the buying price?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Look, I think some people would because they desperately want one.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: But now even this guy I'm looking at it on
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: car sales. You have to have a registration listed on
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: car sales, and he's blanked out the regio and you
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: can't click on it to see the Joe either. So
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: he's going against cars Ole's rules there, because I think
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: this type of person probably has cars that are from Toyota,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: which is the people they preferenced for this. And it
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: just says to me that, you know, this perfect person
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: is just here for profiteering. It's not just someone who's
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: bought one and had second thoughts about it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: You want to call him up?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: What if we were to call and just to ask
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: why it's so expensive? I'll just be honest. Yeah, I'm
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: gonna go on yet. Hey, bro, how you doing beautiful?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking at your car and I just wanted
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to give you a call, so I'll I'll just be quick.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: My name's My name's Paul. I do a podcast and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I was talking about how much I love the new
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Toyota gr and we were just talking about it and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: You're going on to castles and it came up and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh wow, So do you do you want
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to have a chat on air about this or do
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you want to just yeah? I don't moment, Yeah, So
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: what's your name?
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Pavel?
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Cool, that's me Pavel or Pavelvel. You've taken ownership of
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the car. Yes, I have, yeah, right, how do you
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: How do you find it so far?
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: Honestly, it's better than I expected. I love it, And
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: to be honest, for this, from my circumstances, I would
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: honestly just keep it. But it's honestly, it's one of
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: the best guys I've driven. I've driven first few cars
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: from old school J D M down to like Z cars. Yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: and it's just a it's a different feel. I've never
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: never experienced anything like it. To me, to be honest, I.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Got a lot. I got to tell you, I'm surprised
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you're selling it. Is it one of those things, I mean,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you seem to be in love with it. Is it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: one of those things where you kind of go, well,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I'm into the car, but it's not quite many expectations.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Or is it kind of a situation where you thought
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I can probably make a bit of coin if I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: chuck it up now, do you know what I mean?
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Not really, because it's one of those things where I've
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: always been into my European cars, and I'm more shifting
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: towards getting a European like an M three or a
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: V eight. I love my big block motors. I thought
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I would give the little thrill all the chance, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: honestly it's amazing. But for the things I want to
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: do to the car, I don't want to really ruin it,
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: if you get what I mean. Yeah, So my plans
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: were to tune it, do it up at on exhaust wheels,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: lawer it. But then at the same time, I don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: want to really accumulate too much money. But it's something.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: It's one of those cars where I know if I
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: still for me to get one again, it will be
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: really hard because of what I've been hearing around as well.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: I was actually specing out to get the Morozzo edition.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's the one with the two seats in the rollbar.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: That's right, the sixth seats and the roll bar. But
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: for me to get that, apparently it's like a lottery ticket.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: So I went ahead and I wasn't even given a
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: choice of color or anything like that. It's just you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: I was second in line and my dealership and they
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: gave me the same corner. I said, or you know what,
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: let me give her a go. I've fought from previously
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: owning a Golfer and like a fifth year other cars
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: as well. It's up there with the golfer. In my opinion,
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: what you're you're.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Like, you're selling it for twenty k more, you know
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: what I mean. It feels first glance. There's a lot
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of people listening that will go, oh, that just this
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: dude's having a money grab, you know. But at the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: same time, I get what you're saying.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: So yeah, So originally because what I do is like
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: I because I usually keep them and I store them away.
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: I don't really want to let go of the croller.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: So I just thought if we get as why not
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I'm selling a Tesla model. Why if you're interested, I
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: don't know best tests.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Then I love my I love my guests. A Lean
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: engines for the moment.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Hi, it's good to chat, good to know where you
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: are with it, and yeah, best of luck with this
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: sal Man. You don't mind if we chuck you on
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: our podcast.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: No, I don't mind, man.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Listen, Man, we'll love you and leave you. Thanks for
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: giving us some insight onto your car, Man, We really
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: appreciate it, and thanks for coming on the potty bro.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: That's all right, man, I mean.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I guess we now naturally will talk about this car.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: The twenty twenty three we should do you want to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: get into the official car review, Let's do it. That's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: not what you say, that's not what you say. Should
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: we get into the car review? Yes, okay, TV's going
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to isolate that and play it back to him.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I knew that was going to happen.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, So the twenty twenty three Toyota GR Corolla. Man,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I remember when this popped up and the photos surfaced.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: And.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I loved it, and you were like, nah, looks a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: bit super cheap auto, you know, with the body kitten stuff,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: especially with the three exhausts. But now that you've got
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to see it up in the flesh, it's great.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, it looks. It looks significantly better like in the
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in the flesh, it's got like it's got pumped arches,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: it's got the sort of functional vents on the bonno like,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: it's got the big exhaust pipes like it is. It
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: is a really good looking thing. And like I heard
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: this the other day and I think this is right.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: So it's a one point six letter turbo charged three
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: letter petrol engine. They was saying the power, Yeah, here
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: it is. So the kilo figure, according to toy puts
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: the GR roll on par with the Baghetti Shiron for
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: killawatt per liter of engine output. That is bloody amazing
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: because it's two hundred and twenty one killer lots of
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: power and three hundred and seventy meters of talks damn good.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the figures on paper are amazing, and it's coming
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: out of such a small, sophisticated thing, a bit like Paul.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's yep. No, I'm like the hum Vy
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: just big brute anyway, So it's all we'll drive. I
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: love the fact that, like the Giaris, you can select
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: whether you want front bias, rear bias, or fifty to fifty.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: This also has front and rear toss and limited slip differentials.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Like it's a proper little package here, and when we
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: fanged around the proving ground, it's really fun to drive.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: It is fairly It has a bit of body roll
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: built into it. You can kind of feel that it's
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: built for a bit of a rally course to throw around.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: It's not really like a civic type how where it's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: super firm and quite uncomfortable. It'll do zero to one
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: hundred in under six seconds manual transmission only, and they
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: do a lightweight version that I think it's like thirty
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: five kilos lighter than the standard one that only has
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: two seats and lightweight wheels and slightly more talk as well,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and that is due to it being lightweight. So yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I reckon it's a fun little car. I didn't love
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: the noise. So inside the cabinet sounds great, but outside
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: it just sounds like induction noise. And I don't know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: do you think that a car like this needs to
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: sound good?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: You look at the competitors, like the yon Day I
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: thirty N or the Gulf R. Yeah, the I thirty
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: N sounds spectacular.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: There. It's an interesting one because when you look at
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: those three stacked up, what's your favorite it is?
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: It is hard because I've just driven the Civic Type
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: A and that'll still be under embargos. I can't talk
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: about it. But it's a very different package to the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Corolla and the Civic Type A front wheel drive only,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: so when you look at the Corolla, it's got the
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: benefit of being all wheel drive, but you're kind of
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: hampered with that engine. Like it's an incredible amount they've
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: been able to extract out of it, But I don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: know how much you could modify there without the thing
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: just igniting in flames if you try to get a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: bit more out of it. Whereas with the I thirty
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: N and the Type you've got so much more headroom.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And even though they're both front wheel drive, they both
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: deliver quite a mode of experiences. And with the Kyuendai,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: like you don't even need to drive it fast, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: it sounds like, you know, it just sounds unreal. So
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I just reckon that that they could have missed a
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: trick with this.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: But it's also fairly expensive.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: It is like seventy two grand or whatever, like it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of money. So yeah, you are paying for
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that privilege. But look, it is a special car. And
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I think in five, ten, fifteen years time, when electric
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: cars are becoming more and more normal, this is going
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: to stand out. And I think this will be a
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: collector's item. I really do think that in fifteen years time,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: you look back at this and go, Wow, it's so
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: cool that they actually made one of those that wasn't
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: hybrid diized or anything like that. It was just pure
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: internal combustion. I reckon that's pretty cool.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I think this will be one to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: keep in the shed and try not to drive it
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: around too much. I think it's everything you say it is.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: It looks great, it feels great. There's a few things
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: that lack a little bit. The interior for me wasn't
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think where it should have been in twenty
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three. I love that it's lost. I love that
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it's mad.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, it lost a center console. Its no center console.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: They deleted that, which means you don't get air vents
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: in the rear either. Like, it's just like.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: What the infotainment display too, is just like's that thick
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: bezzling around the side.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: In all, it's just and you can tell there's room
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: there for a much bigger and better infotainment system.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I mean that's you look at that compared to say
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the I thirty en. I mean, I'm I'm not hugely
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: wrapped with the interior of the I thirty end, but
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: fuck they do that. They do the infotainment displaying that
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: so well with the track stuff and everything in N mode.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: They do that brilliantly. And I just feel like the
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: tech in this it just looked a little bit. It
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: looked a little even though it is updated and it's
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: technically it's there. It just looks and feels a little
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: bit doss program in a way.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. The rest of the rest of the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: car feels high tech, and then that doesn't. They did
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: deliver though, with a cool driver display and that gives
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: you like a g bubble and all these other really
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: cool gauges, which I really like. So all that sort
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: of stuff's cool. It revs all the way through the
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: red line, So a lot of these cars are sort
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: of limited so you can't actually rev them up. This
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: goes all the way through the red line, which I
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: reckon is pretty unreal, and it's not something you come
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: to expect with a sort of with a car like this,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: you expect it to be a bit more docile. But
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: from that point of view, it's fun. I wish it
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: had like a drift mode or something. I sort of
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: tried fairly hard to get this thing to drift, and
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it really doesn't do it unless you get the handbrake
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: involved or you're on of low news surface. So I
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: just wish it had the ability to kick all the
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: talk to the rear to sort of get it to
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: be a bit more sort of engaging in that sense.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: But that's lot of that is it is really good
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: fun to drive, excellent brakes, and just it puts a
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: big smile on your face, which is what you really
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: want from a car like this.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: It's packed full of the goods. It looks fantastic. I
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: love the fact that they've taken care and built this properly,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: like they've built it in a separate factory to all
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the other toyotas as well. But it's let down I
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: think slightly in the tech. That's a real shame. I
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: would have loved to have seen a bit more storage
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: as well. I mean, believe it or not, I mean
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: this storage and stuff like that. It's a simple thing,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: but I feel like it. You know, it's as a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: daily it should it should be there.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. And yeah you could check out
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: the video review I shot of it at the Car
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Expert YouTube channel. I have one hundred thousand views. Mate. Okay, okay, days.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Media guy Marty is crying after you said that as
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: he plays his piano. He loves the piano. Do you
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: know about that about producing?
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: Mary?
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to have to get some lessons,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I reckon, Yeah.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Get some lessons off Marty, you'll be like Jeffrey Rush
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and shine before you know it.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but it sounds exciting.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It's a movie from the mid nineties. You were probably
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: un a bone back then, but.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: It was that six months we were sailing to Astrata.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were just trying to survive.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Reception wasn't great on there.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: You're too busy, just trying to avoid pirates, not pirates
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: at the caravans, actual pirates.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Thanks, guys, Hey, let's let's chat feedback. You know, it's
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: around this time of the show where I love to
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: sort of get into it and just share some of
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the great feedback you guys leave us and sometimes not
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: not great as well, but sometimes great.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Let's just trade on the great because that's the only
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: stuff I care about, and it's the only stuff I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: generally read. If it's doesn't mention how good I am
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: in the first three words, I don't care. I just
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: won't read the rest.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll start with this one. I don't know if
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I've already read this one, but the title is entertaining,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: so it's a good start. From Jordan dot Ong, and
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: he wrote, frankly, don't know if this is a car
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: podcast or a Donna podcast. But overall ten out of
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: ten good feedback. This one's good as well. From Tought Tough,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: it is heard rate humor not a great start, okay,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: one star this review. The can't info components are fine,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: the attempt at humor is puile.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I liked about that? As you read
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: that in your media watch voice, you know you're watching
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: medium watch and they get to the letters part and
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: they're like that broadcaster was atrocious, se the fat controller.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: But it's up from there. So then we had Rob
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: f one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and he wrote, or she wrote, they them funny as
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: the title, some funny gags with the sprinkling of car info.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I'm the target market, so I really enjoy listening to
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: this podcast on your Rob. And then this is probably
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: my favorite from Footy bogan Ah, titled Donna and Little Pavelet.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it reads this is the.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Informative car podcast that I wasn't even looking for. I
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: asked chat gpt to find the best podcast for Little
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Paveler and MILF's name Donna.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Trust me, she's not a milf that dream of converting
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: homosexual men of Serbian descent, and descent is spelt wrong,
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: so it actually reads homosexual men of Serbian decent.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, there is too much car talking between the daily
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: adventures of don on the school run. I agree, long lived,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: little Pavlo.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, we do have some serious dms. You know, it's
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: quite funny. There's that. There's one guy who keeps going, hey,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: you've got to answer my question again this week. Hey,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: you've got to answer my question again, and I can't
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: find him. I know. One of his questions were when
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: are we getting merch? And it was an interesting one.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, maybe we should get merch.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: He gave merch to Trevor this week. That fluffy eye piece.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. Maybe we could do Maybe
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: we could do fluffy eye pieces of merch.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Donna was here and it just goes on your face.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe we could do like a Donner car air
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: freshener that you're hanging your car and it's actually a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: drawing of a vagina and it just smells like a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: dozen rotten oysters.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll get onto that. That's a good idea, Paul,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I catch Paul just opening the box of air freshers,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: just like rubbing them under his harbit. It's just just
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: he just tears them open like it's a KFC refresher.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Towl just wipes his face anyway. So yes, when are
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: we getting merched? I don't know, that's not a bad one.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I'll speak to a few people. Maybe we can make
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: it happen.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: That'd be fun to speak to Marty. Maybe between piano
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: lessons he can organize something muddy if you want to
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: be like a little a little parvlay. Yeah, please leave
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: us a rating on whichever platform you're listening to. Obviously,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: since we ruptured the airwaves and had legal issues, some
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: people took issue with a lot of stuff and they've
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: just been very negative. So it's proved.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, since we since we kind of came back,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and when we did come back, ironically, we got more
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: listens than ever before. When we started sort of calling
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: out even more crap that happens in the industry, which
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I love, Everything went even bigger. But it
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: also brings out a few haters, which is fine.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. We thrive off haters and just on
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: very serious note, very briefly, I love haters because they
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: are certainly in our business life. We had a lot
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: of haters when we started Car Expert, and I love
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: haters because you take what they say and they're obviously
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: someone who sits at home and has nothing better to
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: do with their time, and you just use that to
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: grow and you use that to push you even further.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: And I found that whenever we're in a position where
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a hater comes out and says something, you basically use
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: that as fuel to keep going. So bring it on,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: I say, And for those who can't be bothered wasting
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: their time being nasty pasties heading give us a five
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: star rating, leave a funny comment as well, because we'd
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: love to read it out on the show, and contact
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: at the Driver's Show dot com dot au if I
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: want to send us an email.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Two says are now an rs SO drivers.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: He's hitting his keyboard, but I think it's got rubber keys,
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: which is why you probably can't hear this.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: This podcast is fucking woeful. In my day, if you
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: had a point to make or some sort of an opinion,
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: you'd stand outside the steps of the town hall and
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: shouted through a rolled up newspaper now I don't mind
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: little pavlais comments, and I quite enjoy his YouTube channel
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: and might quite enjoy his program and his sense of fashion.
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: He really knows how to wear the shit out of
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: those rivers slecks. What I don't appreciate is that Gordon
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: Fellow who clearly hasn't driven anything pre nineteen eighty one.
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: What an absolute university trendy you want to be? And
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: probably a homosection. I could go on for fa too long,
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: and I probably will, which.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: My wife will be like, why were you so late tonight?
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I was bashing an imaginary keyboard, making
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: up an old man voice with a little Pavli That's why.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Now go to bed.
• 45:51
  Speaker 10: You're waking up our children. Didn't you said that? You
• 45:58
  Speaker 10: said that, You said that was your I saw your mouth,
• 46:02
  Speaker 10: that was you.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I would never say that to my life anyway, Yes
• 46:05
