• 1:09
  Speaker 2: tell you about they're design to be involved with me?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: They would just be like that. Those Clippers would just
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: get caught in his shoulders somewhere.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: They're like, we're worried he'll actually take his shirt off
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and show people what it's like.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we will just stick with.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Getting buff guys to shave themselves.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Thanks, That's why they keep coming to me.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I swear like any raiser knew your body would just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: look like it was burning down the Amazon. Come on, mate,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: what's wrong? What's wrong with you?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I was actually just going to grow a beard.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm desperately trying.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You'll hit puberty soon, Paul.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I'm desperately trying. Yeah, I hope one day to look
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: like Gordy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, don't hope that any years ago.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I found it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I found an old photo of myself the other day
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: with a beard, and it's just really yeah, it's oh god,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: it's all kinds of no, I look like I'm from
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Paul's country.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So I in the late nineties into the early two
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: thousands didn't just so now I just just call this
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: stubble right, and this is long at the moment, but
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it was full, like not crazy beard man stuff, But
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it just looked unkept like I didn't care because I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: didn't you been my passport photo at the time was horrible.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You would have looked like a homeless terrorist.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's where I was going with it. It was
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: really the kind of thing that you really didn't want
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to present at an airport.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I got a new passport, but.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You enjoyed the cavity search. It works out now.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And then you got to get some action. I married
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a long time, you know, sometimes you got to find
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a he is this on?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've never listened to I don't know how
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you start the show or anything.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I do love how you rocked up in your snappy
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: little coopra.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Still, how was how was that going through?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Best thing I've ever done?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so so in love with it. You do
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: look cute in that Thank you mate. Yeah, it's funny.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And I've always been a hatchback guy always. And then
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: so I went to the one of the launches because
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it was one of those events, Paul, where there was
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a you know, drive days with the Murtoring journals, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: then there was a fancy lifestyle thing influences. Yeah, I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: feel like there was some people I knew there, but anyway,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and it was a pr person I'd never met before,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so I just took the invite. It was the I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: wanted to go, so I'm like, yeah, sure cool, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: drove the car and instantly in my video, like ten
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: minute video. I wasn't even there for more than two hours.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I just went on buying this car, right, and then
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I broke an embargo because I wasn't told there was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: an embargo, because they didn't think that anyone at that
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: event would actually write a review. So I'm just like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I got home and wrote the review and you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: no drummers. And then someone reads me and goes, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: it would be great if you just held off on that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I went why, and they go, because everyone else is
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: holding off, And I went, well, why didn't you tell me? Mate?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They panicked, panicked because I'm not shut up, Oh my god,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: panic because no, they panic because people like Paul would
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: have lost their shit that a bunch of bunch of
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: them are holding off on an embargo and all these
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: annoying influences are now posting and I'm out here putting
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: a reviewer, so look me with them very early, because.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: With all your respect, I don't think little Pablo is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: going to be threatened by your little review which was
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: probably written on the bonnet of your car with a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: crayon and some butcher's paper.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Listen, and we're.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Spoken about it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: We've spoken about other people in this industry, for whom
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you know, Paul Malman have worked with before. Trust me,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: they care.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: You know, you're absolutely spot on, Trevor. And the frustrating
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: thing for me is I'd actually much prefer that system
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: where you just get home and you just get it
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: over and done with. But we have this ridiculous thing
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: that if someone breaks an embargo by ten seconds, it
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: is the end of the world. And to me, I
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: just I really just think it's it's so stupid. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: would just prefer to do it your way.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And for me it was hilarious because initially it was
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: just can you just take the word review out? Because
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: it wasn't really detailed. It was just impressions more than anything.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But could just take the word review out? And then
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a couple of hours later it was like, actually, could
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you delete it?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: There's so much.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: At that point, I'm like, yeah, I want to buy
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the car, so I'm hoping to sweet talk them here.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So I took it down and everything didn't do me
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: any favors on the car just quietly, so I shouldn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: left it up. But anyway, so my first car was
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a say It Ibeitha and Paul that that's the reason
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I bought this car because Cooper is basically the brother
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: or the sister or the love child of say It.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And for me, this is just my world coming back,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and so it's fucking perfect. My wife calls it a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: middle life crisis. I don't care.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So it's like you're a virgin all over it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, nerdy little virgin all over again. Love it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny true if they have we had
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the chance of two of the Cooper factory in Spain,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: and is it's a bit like the Czech Republic where
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: everyone just drives a Scota. In Spain they're all driving
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Sayats and yeah, it's just crazy. And it actually it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: an interesting brand because we're say It is a bit
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: sort of a bit more sort of conventional Volkswagen like
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Coopra is like totally the opposite. It's it's sort of young, adventurous.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: The styling is really out there, and it's funny. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Spanish just just kind of do their own thing, which
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: is just hilarious within the Volkswagen group, which is just
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: typically German exactly.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's great though, Like we saw some of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the stuff coming out of the Munich motor Shower that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: trip you just did. It looked great, right, Like they.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Pushed the boundaries of the concept cars and then the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: real cars, Paul. They don't look that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Far off, Yeah, exactly. If you look at the Taviscan,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: which is their suv electric car that's coming, the concept
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: looks virtually identical to the production car. And I think
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: that they've just given Coopra all of that leeway to
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: do kind of whatever they want. And it's great because
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: you have all the Volkswagen underpinnings, so you know that
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: it's been engineered correctly, and they've just been given a
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: bit of latitude when it comes to design and sort
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of making it look really cool.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And look, the thing is, I've always I've wanted
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: an electric car for years. I just couldn't buy Tesla.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: There's fucking many of them on the road right now.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: It is just so Camri like, isn't it. It is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: hard to not look at it and just go I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: just don't feel you don't you want to be unique
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in your car.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I I think at the moment with the EV landscape,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: there really isn't that much to choose from, and you're
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: right like Tesla are everywhere. I think the new ones
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: look really cool, but pick of the bunch in terms
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of uniqueness is definitely Coopra.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Actually I don't actually think they look cool at all.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I just think that they're all. They're available in what
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: like five colors, and every cheap person gets a white one,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: and then everyone who wants to look cool gets a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: red one or a blue one, and then the rest
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: are just these pedestrian colors in between. I just that
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: they have completely lost their appeal.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: This is coming from a guy who's going to wipe.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what's your view when you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: own a car? What's your view on a small update aesthetically? So,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: for example, if I just bought a Model three, I
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: would be out of my mind with the fear of
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that new look coming to Australia any month, any year,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: any whenever the hell it's going to be, because you're
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: going to feel so old in the in the bubbly
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: little thing you've got.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Now, well, you know what I messaged trevoron threads about
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: this exact same thing. My dad. I literally told him
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: there is a Model three coming. He just ignored me,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: ordered it, and then he got his car delivered, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: like literally four days later they released the update, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I said to him, Dad, are you like, do you
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: even do you not listen to me?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I do? Dad?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Does he know what you do?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think you're into crypto?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. That's the thing. People will just get whatever
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: they want, and in this instance, he was getting it
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: for the tax benefits, so he wanted it sooner rather
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: than later. But ultimately with Tesla's the problem I have
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: is that updates just appear randomly for no reason. And
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: while the software updates and stuff are great, they are
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: very much becoming a legacy car company now by doing
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: visual updates, changing prices, doing discounts to clear stock. It
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: is just another car company now that is dressed up
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: as a big tech player, which.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Is credit to them, though let's be real, that's credit
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to them for getting to that point and for having
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the volume that we are looking at them as if they're,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you know, a camera on the road. It's just I'm
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: still flabbergasted by how well they sell given the price
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: people are paying. And I just I think in one
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of our other conversations, I talked about how it frustrates
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: me that people buy a toy at a Corolla without
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: driving a Key or a Hindo. Right, they just buy
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it because it's the trust in this brand.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: There's a brand loyalty there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: But people buying Tesla's because I actually don't know why.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Is it because they think it's the only way to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: get an electric car that's got a charging network? Is
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: it because they think it's the most innovative car on
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the market. Did they drive a pole Star or anything
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: else like that? I just don't think they are. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: don't think people are driving other cars to find out
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: whether or not it has the appeal.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Well, here's one thing I think that stands out with Tesla, right,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is literally the charging stations alone.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't disagree at all, but I think that
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: if you absolutely analyze ninety percent of ev owners, most
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of them don't need to go anywhere near a public charger.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Bloke in the in the office behind mine brought a
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Model three and a couple of years ago, and I
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: said to him once time as I passed my mate.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I've got a charger at the front of the office
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: if you ever want to use it against mate. I've
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: never been anywhere but at home, just plugged into the
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: wall because I don't need to and I i've.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Had it, doesn't have friends.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably are you charging your current home? Yeah?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I installed a wall box at home, and even even
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: with a normal power point, I would never have run
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: out of time or anything at this point because I've
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: never driven so far that in a day in Sydney
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that I needed to. And I took a road trip
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: to my mum's a couple of weekends ago, stopped at
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Scone in the interim charger, stopped at Tamworth and the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Tesla charge, and then drove all the way home without charging.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Like that's the only time I'll use a public charger
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: is when I do a road trip. And road trips
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: are covered by the networks. It's really just the demand
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: that's going to kill the road trip. And I made Paul,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you'd be amazed. I drove on a long weekend in
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: school holidays and there was no one at the interim
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a charger in Scone and who was They're fine working
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and there was only one person at the four Tesla
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: bays in Tamworth on a public holiday long weekend. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I told the kids, we're gonna have to wait. We
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: might have to que YadA yaddija was it was an
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: absolute breeze.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: It's ironic because you've prepared for it. It's the other
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: time there would be people there is bloody AI. But
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to your point, Gordy, the test chargers, I think it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: actually a bit of advertising because a lot of people
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: will have gone to a shopping center and seen Tesla
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: charges and in the back of their mind they think
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Tesla is the only electric car brand. The charges everywhere
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: and thing that's happening at the moment in Europe, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: literally every CEO had little running notes whenever they had
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: media come up to them, they had to talk about
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the influx of Chinese vehicles in Europe. They are absolutely
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: decimating the local car market there when it comes to pricing,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: and Europe is about to come out and slap some
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: tariffs on China for their cheap electric vehicles, and BYDS
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: is within a whisker of overtaking Tesla as the biggest
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: full electric car manufacturer globally. I think the same will
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: happen in Australia. While t Tesla has a great run
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: at the moment, ultimately the pricing is still higher than
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: what you would pay for a Chinese domestic market vehicle,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: and I reckon we'll see the Chinese take even more
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: of a leap in the electric car market in Australia
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: pretty soon.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: So they should. Really, there's a lot of good competition
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: out there. The Corpora is doing great stuff. I think
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: by d Famously is a fantastic.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: What I miss there nothing I've forgotten about the drama
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: that started all this bullshit.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: That's funny. Do you think of what happened?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: There?
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Are a fantastic product, and I will I will not
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: hear anybody looking forward to the Seal.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to the.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Seal, the the Dolphin, the Porpoise, the Mermaids or the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: whatever the John West addition.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: What do you think all of the Dolphin Sports Edition,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell they're going to call that?
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Look, I think the names are a bit silly. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: don't think they really migrate all that well to English,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: but I think their cars look the Dolphin, I think
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: just looks a bit curious. We've got one in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: office at the moment. But I think the rest of
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: them look great. And I saw the what is it
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: the seal you.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: The the SUV version looks great.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw that at the motor Show and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: thought that looked That looked fantastic. So I reckon look
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: that they're going to price these really sharply, and BID
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: has got their their act together in Australia. They're teamed
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: up with Eagers, who has this enormous dealership network in Australia,
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: and I think they are really going to kick a
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: massive goal in the next sort of year or so.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It does feel like they had a plan and they
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: realized there was a better plan, do you know what
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I mean? Like whol Kmart tyront Auto my car it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: called now you know, it was a great idea in
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: principle on paper, but it actually would have not served
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: them well if they were selling in this volume they're
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: getting now. So the Eagers think the only thing that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: got them going. I just wonder whether I wonder whether
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they're pricing too much based on the market and not
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: based on what the cars are worth exactly. They're pricing
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: against MG, and MG's pricing against them when and I
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: think a Dolphin, what are they thirty nine eight or
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: something like that. I think Dolphin should be a thirty
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: two thirty three thousand dollars car. And if they were,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: my god, it would be it would be a massive,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: massive market. But I just feel like they're with obvious,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: you know, smarts, they're taking advantage of the fact that
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: they can charge that much. But I'll go back to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: charging for a minute. I charged my car for I've
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: got the numbers, but twenty minutes at the Tesla Tesla
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: station eighty something sends per killer what hour they're charging.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: That's honestly, that is that, you know. I often when Paul,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you say.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: When people say how much does it cost to charge only,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I always say it's about the third of the cost of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: a petrol car. If you were to use a Tesla
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: charging network in a public way, in a non Tesla,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you would it would not be one third. I didn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: even think it'd be half. I think it would be
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: at best two thirds of the cost. Because it is enormous,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: and I worry that people are going to build themselves
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: into a world where they think that the long term
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: cost because everyone all these car companies. They say, oh,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: but the you know, the car is expensive up front,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: but the four year cost the life of the car is.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: This and that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: That's what Tesla say. When you buy the car, actually
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: put it in writing. I will actually put it how
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: much they expect you do that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: With a BYD and you assume that you're going to
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: charge at other places. You're at the behest of Evy
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: charge Fox and Tesla not putting their prices up like
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: petrol stations do.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I mean it actually can be non financially viable to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: do electric cars in a public charging way. You've got
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to have your shit sorted at home, and preferably you've
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: got to be in the world of solo. I'm not
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: there yet, but I'm close. I drove my car down
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to three percent battery and then charge it to one hundred,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: just purely so I could get a calculation off the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: wall boxes to how much it would be twenty one
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: dollars it cost me at home to charge. And I'm like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: there you go, that's one. That's awesome.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I tell you one thing.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Though my parents are looking at getting a Tesla. They
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: have an underground car park. I am praying for thermal runaway.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: As soon as that happens, I can finally get a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: house in Sydney. It'll be just the best thing in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: It is actually though, withithstanding your little concern for your parents,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: it's actually a major issue. Yeah, Like government and other
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: developers are looking at not allowing them of charges in
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: underground car parks and that's a huge issue for the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: government take up of evs because they have some vehicles
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: that can't be parked in open spaces because of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: gear and stuff on board or whatever. Mate, that's a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that's a big problem. I want to I don't know
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that it is a big problem yet.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I was going to bring this up when when John
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: kddogan comes in as well, because he's like, he's got
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: quite a.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Bit, hasn't He found the niche on YouTube, which is
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: people fucking hate EV's and will listen to you talk
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: about that. I've watched more of his videos in the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: last two months than ever because his research, his way
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to articulate it, and his passion for the thing is brilliant.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And it's like, mate, he's just gone, these things are
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: getting such good views.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to keep going with that That's a
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: good thing about John though, like whether you agree or disagree,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Like he's got a well thought out argument.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like Paul's got.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: You're pretty much responsible for putting charges in your apartment building,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: which I'm assuming has got underground parks.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we actually rolled out the full charging infrastructure
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: at our apartment building. We've since sold that apartment But
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: what actually happened after that, we got a letter from
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the Body Corporate Group for that apartment building and seventy
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: five other apartment buildings in the city, and it was
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: a subsidiary of Central Equity, so a big company. They've
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: actually recommended to all of the owner's corporations that they
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: do not install any EV charging equipment in any of
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: these buildings until the government releases some kind of regulations
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: around it. And it's a real tricky one because the
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: government's regulations aren't going to be able to change the
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: fact that if you get a vehicle with a lithium
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: ion battery catch fire and it gets thermal runaway, that
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: it is very difficult to put out, So their regulations
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: aren't going to mean anything. And if the regulations are
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: that you have to have bigger water supplies in apartments.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It is going to be so cost prohibitive. Anyone that's
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: ever dealt with the fire services company will know that
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: doing every the most minor thing is astronomically expensive. To
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: just totally change pump systems, piping and water supplies within
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: apartment buildings, it would be impossibly cost prohibitive for some
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: of these minus corporations who are dealing with huge increases
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: in insurance costs and the like. So I just don't
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: see it happening.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, there was something one of my neighbors
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: works for, like the New South Wales Fire Safety blah
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: blah blah is getting on our local community Facebook page
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: saying yeah, saying, look, they shouldn't be installed underground.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: They shouldn't be there. We've been warned there is. It's
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: basically really tricky at the moment for fire departments to
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: put these sorts of fires out.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: My concern is that it's kind of like the scooter
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: and bike drama that's going on at the moment. It's
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: a legitimate problem, but it's a legitimate problem because of
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: idiots who buy cheap shit on Ali Barber or wish
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: dot com and it doesn't pass Australian safe regulations. You
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: buy an electric scooter or a bike it Harvey's or JB's,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's not going to explode as long
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: as you use the included charger in the same bike. Right.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: But you get someone who buys one off in China
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and they plug in random charger into it, or it
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: just doesn't have a battery management system, that's what's exploding.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: My concern is that we actually haven't had that I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: know of proven fire where it was the car at
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: fault or an authorized charger. Right. So the wall box
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: that I bought in Australia and the qualified electrician I
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: had to install it, and a car that is clearly
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: meeting regulations, I'm pretty confident that mine is not going
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to just go up in flames. But I joined early on,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: when I thought I was going to get an Atto three.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I joined all the Facebook groups. The number of people
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: in those groups that are just telling each other where
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to get these wall boxes, these charging cables and all
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this shit. It's like, mate, does any of this meat
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Australian standards? And that is where it's all going to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: come undone. I don't reckon it'll be the charger. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: don't reckon it the car I reckon. People have cheap
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: shit cables in between, and that kind of stuff.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Happens with phones as well.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, that's exactly right.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: That's probably what caused that, for instance, to backpack a fire, right.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly, it would have been a bike that was absolutely
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: not bought a Jbhifi. It would have been plugged into
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a charger and left on and it didn't have a
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: battery management system, and up it went. But how do
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: you You can't regulate that because you can't regulate what's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: coming into the country in the post. So we are
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: in a situation where you have actually have to regulate
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: to assume that shit's going to go on. And therefore,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you know, basement installs may be a problematic thing for buildings,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: and that obviously causes a whole raft of other issues
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: when you try and move towards evs with off street
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: parking and all that kind of joy.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting one because it's so rare. It is
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: kind of rare, like an EV fire, but it also
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's not.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: If you read a photo expert, that's that's the thing.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: He's unpacked every single one, and it's been brilliant like
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: that one of the Paul Did you see that, it's
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: like a fucking car.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: We wasn't in the car.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: For fuck's sake. What are we doing?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Come down, Trevor Jeans. It's annoying. You're going to have
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a heart attack. I thought, just just calm down. I'm
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: worried about your health. How is that going, by the way, No,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: not good. Did you get that thing fixed on your
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: bum na?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna leave it there. No one's looking at
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: it anyway.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Speaking of things that people are looking at, we we
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: were watching your stories when you're over at the iPhone launch.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: A couple of questions I had. Did they say anything
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: about the Apple car that they're sort of rumored to
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: be working on.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: No, nothing at all, And I'll tell you why, because
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: they're not working on a car, the Apple car. Do
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you remember the rooms about Apple TV an Apple Physical
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: TV back in the day. It was like during the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: time of the Steve John's biography. I reckon what happened
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: back then is exactly what's happening now with the car.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: I reckon they did.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: They did fuck around and look at a TV and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: they did the business case, and they went, why would
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: we build, you know, TVs try and get two percent
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: market share when we could build a little box that
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: any TV could run. And then it evolved into an app. Right,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: So the car, I've got no doubt they thought about
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: a car, They looked at the man all that stuff,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: and then they went, you know what, why don't we
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: just own the digital infotainment of cars? And that's when
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they Earlier this year they announced that the next iterations
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: of Apple Car Play would in fact be your dashboard,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: not just your infotainment, but you're interconnectivity with the car.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: So they'll be widgets for the air conditioning and all
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that shit. And I'm sure BMW will be first with this,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: as they were with a lot of the stuff. So
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the next iteration, and I think the final iteration for
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the Apple car is just that your phone plugged into
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: the car or wirelessly. More importantly, will be what you
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: see in front of you. It'll all be you and
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: customized and personalized, and it'll be another battle of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: cars versus you know, human beings wanting to run their
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: own infosystems. But yeah, I don't think there'll be a
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: physical car in the same way that Dyson looked at
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: a car but publicly went we're not going to do it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: They did kind of make a concept though, I've.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Got no doubt Apple made a concept, but they're not
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: going to release that. They never would, but Dyson. I
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: thought it was fucking really cool that Dyson went, here's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: what we did. It didn't We didn't. We couldn't make
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: it work.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because you always hear like little bits that oh,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: they're in talks with Kia, or they're in talks with
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Yun Day and blah blah blah blahlah. But then but
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: they are well, but also what if they're they do
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: build a car that's an absolute premium product that's not
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: necessarily going to be for main use.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could be completely wrong, obviously, but I
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: just think that every time you know some of the rumors,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the way you get to get a great story is
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: you hear a rumor at a bar or something. Right,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you hear a bloke from Apple Talk and a bloke
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: at Hoyonda, and you go, hang on a minute, what
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the fuck's going on here? Well, actually, they were just
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: talking about how they're introducing a new, better Ultra wideband
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: chip into the next generation iPhones, which will mean that
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: you can unlock your car in an even better way
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: from your phone and all. Like, it's just they're just
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: improving all of the ways we use our phone today,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: like unlocking your car, entering the car, starting the car,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and using the photament and dashboard. They're just going to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: make all of that better. And for that reason, of course,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: they're working with all the car companies, but you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: some of them might be talking to them, but some
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: of them might have breached really bad embargoes or NBA's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: by telling people they were working together. But yeah, I
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: don't think a physical, real vehicle will come.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Well. I actually that brings me on to the next
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: thing I was going to ask, which is the new
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: version of Apple car Play. I've just upgraded to iOS seventeen,
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: and I really like that new layout and the way
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: that it's set up. And I really also like the
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: concept of them ditching a manufacturer infotainment system because they're
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: just most of them are just a pile of shit
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: and just very poor to use. And you get in
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: the car, you plug your phone up, the only thing
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: you touch is car Play, So why not just make
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: the whole thing car play. Do you reckon that that
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: means cars will become more secure or do you think
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: that they will become more prone to hacking? A tense
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: if it all is through the one sort of software stack.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Great question. I reckon more secure because I think Apple
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: is so ridiculously crazy about privacy that they don't want
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to be associated with the potential for any you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: interactivity from the outside with a car. So my guess
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: is more secure, I reckon in the long run with
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that kind of setup. And I think it's fascinating. You're
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: right with like info tament and may. I read every
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: review of the Cooper Born. I watched every video, and
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: one of the things that stood out to me a
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: couple of times was people bagging that it didn't have
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: sat NAV, Like, it didn't have a sat NAV built in?
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: What the fuck do I want a sat Nay for no,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: you don't one never touched. I've been driving review cards
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: for years. I've probably twice used the built in sat NAV,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: and that was probably because I hadn't pared my phone
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: and was in a hurry.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: And then, yeah, manufacturing navigation is always And in.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Fact, it was only two nights ago that I found
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: out that when I'm using Apple CarPlay in my Coupra
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm using Apple Maps, the guide, it's the arrow
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: navigation appears on the fucking instrument cluster. I have no idea.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: That's like a BMW style thing. And I'm like, this
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: is shit hot. That's the kind of stuff that that
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the car companies are doing that just makes it a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: better user experience for the average Joe. And I think,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: like I think I spoke about this before, my biggest
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: bugbear is Kia and Hyundai not allowing their most premium
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: vehicles to have wireless Apple car Play. And it's because
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: they don't.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: There is something going on there though, right.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I've spoken to them and they said to me, basically,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Apple and Google require that if you're using wireless Apple
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: carp Play and you get in the car, that when
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you turn the car on, car Play comes up, because
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: that's obviously what you wanted as a human. But Kia
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and Hyundai want you to first see their beautiful, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: million dollar infotainment system and then click Apple Carpet.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can still do that, like my car's
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: got wireless and everything comes up and you just choose
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the box.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it comes up by default with car play.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but as a choose able icon, and that's what
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: he doesn't want. That's the oddest detail ever though. Really
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: that's what it boils down.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: They want you to know they've got their own infotainment
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: system and they've spent so much time and effort and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: energy on the UI and it's nice, it's probably one
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: of the better ones out there.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But still see all that it would just come up
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: as an icon though.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine spending seventy thousand dollars on a Keya
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Carnival Platinum Edition right now and not having wireless CarPlay.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That is absolutely wild to me.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that one though. I feel like
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it's just all it would be, would be an icon
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: coming up on the on their screen.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: That it would be. That's what Kia wants. But Apple
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: and Google, the way it works, it just comes up
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: by default. So it's it's basically a stalemate in the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: negotiating table. And because Google and Apple have held their
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: ground with every other manufacturer like BMW on everyone, they
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: have to hold their ground with Kia and Hyunda.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Hmmm, that's crazy, but I just think that that is
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: the dumbest move, because it totally boggles my mind that
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: you can get into a base model Yuda where wireless
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: car play works perfectly fine, and then the or you
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: spend the less features you get the other interesting one
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: as well. I heard on the grapevine that they were
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: having issues with the new iPhones, the fifteens overheating, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I think it was specifically with BMW wireless chargers. Is
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: that a phone issue or is that a wireless charging
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: protocol issue?
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think it is specific to the wireless chargers.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So I've been using the iPhone fifteen since the date
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: was announced, so like a week and a half before
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: it was released. I've been using for a long time.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: But well just timescale mate, Okay, it's important to note,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and I've never had the issue, right. So what they
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: determined was that there's a couple of factors. One is
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: if you do you know, when you set up a
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: new phone, says do you want to restore via the
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: cloud or direct If you use the cloud and you've
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: got a decent amount of you know, photos and storage
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: and everything in the cloud, and you're using apps like
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Uber and Instagram for some reason, there was a couple
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: of apps they isolated, those things were all just chewing
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: it in the background. The cloud was continued to back
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: up while you went away and used the phone, and
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: all those things combined was just drawing the power and
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: heating it up. So I think, if they haven't already,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: they're putting out a software update and that will avoid
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the issue. I think when you the BNW wireless charging issue,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I think if you're in that situation where you're backing
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: up from the cloud and stuff and then you're charging,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it's always going to Like if you have any iPhone
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: in any car, if you're running wireless car play ways
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: and you're wireless charging, you've got heat from the charge,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: You've got heats from the GPS and of the broadcast
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: of the signal. It's gonna overheat. It's gonna get hot.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: So there's only so much they can do to control that.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I always find though, when you've got an iPhone and
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a wireless charger and you're using wireless car plays there's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: always interruptions.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: The tolls interrupted. Do you notice that I've not worked
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: it out, But you're a wireless Apple car play and
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: you go through any toll gate, it just skips the music.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You know what it also does if you're on a
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: phone call in some cars, when it does when you
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: go through the gantry and it has that half a
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: second skip, it actually introduces lag in the phone call,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: so you end up talking over the other person because
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: their signal is coming in half a second later. It
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: is the most curious thing in the world. I've noticed
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: it a few times now when I've been driving back
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: on a phone call and you go through a gantry,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: and one time was when I was doing a radio interview.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So you end up with this horrible outcome.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: It was horrific. So I think that's fixed now because
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I haven't had that recently, But that is a weird one.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: It actually raises the question how much is that shit
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: emitting If it's able to interrupt your phone while you're
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: driving through.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Have you ever put your E tag, you know, not
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: on the wind screen and just left or whatever. Yeah,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: it works, it's it's it's scanning. Let'll tell you.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: It's actually fun to measure the level of output from
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: those gantries, just to see if it's actually frying your brain.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You're getting the equipment and standing in the middle of
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the motorway made for great social con I'll tell you
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: one thing I did discover recently on that trip. There's
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: a new when we're talking wiless charging, there's a new
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: wireless charging standard coming. So right now the standard is
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: called chea spelled QI, and you will see this little
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: logo on all the cars when it's whiles charging cheap
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: annoyingly for cars because we all know there's like a
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: six year lead time on these things, this will be
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: a while off. But the new standard is basically mag
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: safe for everyone. So you know Apple's mag Safe, where
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you put your phone on something and it magnetically attaches,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: so it's sent. The reason for that is it's centers
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: so that it's the most optimum charging, right, So all
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: phones will get and we're probably talking next year's Samsung's
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: or maybe the year after, we'll get this GI two,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: which is stupidly what it's going to be called. It
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: should be called magnetic attached or something. But here's the
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: benefit of that for cars, and I think it's better
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: in cars than any other use case. When BMW and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: everyone else introduces G two, you won't have this situation
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: where you've got to fucking find that spot and if
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: you heavily break in the phone moves, it stops charging.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it's great to have the big phone, which
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: is normally the one that's all the charges are made for.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: But if you've got a smaller phone, it's sometimes hard
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: to find that sweet spot. So that what the magnetic
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: attach will be a game changer for cars in six years.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Also, just checking Trevor, is it is it called the
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: g spot.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Whatever?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't know. Actually I found out. We're trying to still
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: look for it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, see Gordy's filthy that you came up with that one. No,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: it's a good good gags in your contract that you
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: do all the gags.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Leave the jokes to me champions.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I seen some of those lately. Oh hey,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: this is just completely off topic to Tesla semi right,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: the big, big, big trucks. Did you see any of
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: them when you're over there?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Not on the road? One at the Peterson Museum. Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and I haven't seen one on the road.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Because there've been anyone to love by Pepsi at the moment, right.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: A lot, I don't know what's a lot?
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Does he he drove one? You know how he's crappy
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Kasha whatever it is yeah, that one.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's driven pretty much every time he drove the roadster,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: but he drove the truck and it's funny you watch
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: him come out of this this lot and you can
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: basically hear the suspension make noises when as it goes
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: over a very small gutter and the comments are whild
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: It's like that doesn't sound good, and yeah, it's not
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: a good look, but I mean it's an exciting thing.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I'm more interested. Have you seen the Edison truck guy
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: in Canada? No, No, you should look him up here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: He's created he's you know, typical Canadian, but he's very
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: very green. He's got this plan to be in all Canadian.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: But he's building this truck called the Edison Truck. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: it doesn't look like a tesla at all. Right, it
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: looks like a Bedford from nineteen fifty. But it's got
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: a diesel generator in front of the cab, so it's
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: got like, it's not a cab over it's you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: a big, big nose style and all that's cool, but
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: a big diesel generator so that it's like a Chevy
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Vault or a Holding Vaults. It can charge the battery
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: as it goes so he can get more range. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the thing is he's built this thing to a point
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: where every part is obtainable essentially, you know from Super
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: g Bordo. Like every bolt, every suspension, every coil, everything
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: is just stuff that you can buy. He looked at
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: the headlight. It was like one hundred dollars and it's
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: a thousand bucks for a Mac headlight. So he's kind
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: of building this people's electric truck. Took it to a
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: show recent It's really cool.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: You should.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the original version, and he's made a modern money.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: He's pretty big on TikTok. I'll send you both the
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: link at some point. Yeah, it's really cool. I mean,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: it's just cool to see people mucking around and kind
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: of innovating in that space because it is a bit
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: head zone.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Because yeah, I don't know if you saw recently, some
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: bloke got a small dent in his Rivian. I guess
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: it's like a single cast or something like that. They
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: it was thousands and thousands of dollars to fix. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of new cars these days, they're
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: expensive to buy, they're expensive to ensure, and then when
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: you have an accident, they are out rape justly expensive
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: to fix. And I've just imagined in ten years time
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: when someone owns one of these secondhand it's it's just
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: going to be a throwaway item that's just too too
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: cost prohibitive to actually fix.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Can you send that to Paul because I don't have
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: his number? What a little bitch, bitch send it to Paul.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing that, Edison Motors, No one cares. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: just Google imaged it and it really wasn't that impressive,
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: And I just like.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: No, it's an unimpressive looking thing, one hundred percent. But
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: when you when Paul deep dives into that TikTok account,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: he's going to really He's going to really.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, sure, sure it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Does look interesting. I think it's it's a great concept.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's that's that's a very diplomat. It looks like
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: absolute showers a sympathy.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: It. Actually, it looks really interesting and.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: That's the production well, the concept version.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think it's I think it's interesting.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: That is a pretty pretty solid batter way. Is it
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: really very cool?
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Fuck?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Have you been cruising for bitches in the new Coopra Stillborn?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I've had the car a month and a half. My
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: wife hasn't even sat in it. Yeah right, because so
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: she took the piece out of me as a midlife
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: crisis car. For the three or four months I had
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: to wait for it, and we had to go down
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: to Saint Leonard's at one point and we were early,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: so we stopped at the dealer and I wanted to
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: show my sixteen year old car and stuff, and so
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: she refused to come into the dealership. But why we
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: convinced to come in and just sit down and wait.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: She had a look at the car. She's like, you
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: should have got in that fucking color and all this
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Then she sits in the back and
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: she goes, she's only got four seats, and I went, yep,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: it's only got four seats. And she doesn't know that's
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: an option that I talked because it's the interior pack.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: And she goes, we've got three kids, and I went,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: when was the last time all five of us got
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: in our Mazda two. Okay, we own a fucking key
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: a carnival for Christ's sake.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I am in massive trouble for buying a four seater
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: for a five family.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's only a matter of time before
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: or your wife leaves you and you're stuck with your
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: robots and your bloody all this tech crap. You're in fact,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: you'll probably come out as a robosexual.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm not going to comment on whether or not
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: that'll be an exciting time for me. But we're happily married,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: thank you, and I don't see that changing while ever.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: The kids are with us, and she keeps saying the
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: kids are going to stay with us forever, so that
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: maybe that's the only.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Thing I hope I've got. This is Sydney.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: We need a place to live.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I thank you. That's the hard thing, you know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Like I got a kid who's getting his l's getting
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: his peas in two months. Like I'm old, Like I'm
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: he's in year twelve. Now, I'm an old man.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I know you didn't need to bring your kids into it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: We can just look at you and tell you are
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: very old. Did he sit next to Jesus in primary school?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. It's actually not bad.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Did you have a fuck? I would have thought I.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Would have gone just a little bit more like just
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: modern old. That's Jesus is just a bit too far
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: and you know not I go for the twenties as
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: opposed to the zero's.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Did you get a BJ from Dame Melly Melbup.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, she wasn't putting out at the time.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: He's run out of question. Question Trev. When you mentioned
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: that you had the iPhone before it was released, does
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: how does that operate? Is it similar to a press
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: car where they sort of send it out to you
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: to return it once you're done. How does all that
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: stuff work?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: So Apple's probably the most rigid of all the companies,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and it's so good because you know what you expect.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: So you go on the trip and there's normally maybe
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: ten people on the trip. You don't no one knows
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: who got the call because they don't tell you what
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you're doing. You just get taken away to meetings, and
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: you might be taken to the iPhone meeting. So you
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: go to a meeting it's about the iPhone. You kind
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: of go, yes, I'm getting the iPhone. Then it used
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: to be they give it to you over there, but
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: these days they wait until you get back in your land.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: And the career comes that Datia house with pretty much
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: one of everything. So I've got every version of the iPhone,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: every cover and all that stuff gets sent. The watches
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: and everything arrived between. So you sign an agreement that
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: is your review Agreement NDA and everything and it has
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a loan agreement. It's for for me, I can't speak
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: very wrong, but for me, all my all my Apple
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: devices are pretty much one year, so I like, I know,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: And I got an email two days after receiving the
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: new ones from the Apple loan account that said, you've
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: got these these devices due back and it was all
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: last year's phone. So box them up and they send
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a career and they take them back. So yeah, they're
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: very It's a great system because you know what you're
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: like some stuff it's like, am I keeping this?
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Is this?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I've got to send this back to I need to
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: keep the box, like it's really annoying. So Apple stuff,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: it's great. There's a shelf in my office which is
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: just all Apple boxes. I find the box, put the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: product back in, send it back and yeah, you get
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: normally a year like all the You're not saying that's
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the life cycle of the product, but you know, I've
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: got a Max Max studio and a Mac Mini and
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and a laptop, and like I'll send stuff back early
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: because I don't need all that shit sitting around. But yeah,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much that way, and it's it's just like cars.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a there's a there's normally one embargo
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: and one kind of soft embargo. The first embargo is
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: normally the Tuesday. What they did this year was really annoying.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: It was a Monday night of Tuesday, not a Wednesday
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: night embargo for the watch, the phone, and the I
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: can't remember what the other thing was, but three different things,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: and you you know, there's only a certain number of
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: people to have that. And then back in Australia, all
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: the other journeys or anyone that didn't go to the
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: event will get a briefing that week and they'll probably
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: drop their reviews the day it comes out, so you
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: probably a few days after embargo, but you know, you're
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: still pretty early on before people get the phone.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I saw something during the week which I found really interesting.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I was probably a TikTok or something like that, but
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: about the there's like people at Apple that just designed
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: the boxes, and there's something like within like like the
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: psychology of you, like when you open up an Apple box,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: it's supposed to it's supposed to be slow.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: You know, when you it's kind of like you can't
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: get the thing out. Yeah, you can't higgle it. That's
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: supposed to be like some sort of anticipation, sort of
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: like similar to I don't know if you slap the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: poke's and waiting for it's.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: One of those mental it's like jingles and stuff like that.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: There's a reason they work a certain way, Yeah, one
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: hundred percent because when you take when firstly it's that
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: slow drop of the box opening, and then the way
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: they choose to cover the phone, it's it's now a
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: white cover and appeals off just really.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Beautifully in a weird way satisfying, right, it.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Is oddly satisfying. The one if you ever get to
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: do it, that is probably the most amazing is their
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: mac what do they call it pro display or their
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: studio display big monitor, because it's a massive box, right,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: but you open it up and there's it's all cardboard,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: there's no styrofoam, there's no nothing, but the engineering inside
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: is such that you pull two bits of cardboard apart,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: like open it like a butterfly, and the thing kind
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: of raises like it's fucking wild that the whole box
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: is a mechanism as well. Yeah, and then you know
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: you get this beautiful machine inside it. There's no one
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: else that does that, no one else.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: No.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I wish they did that with cars.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know how, but there's there's a couple of
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: people I watched that have, like, you know, will take
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: premium cars Bentley's or whatever.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: As they get delivered to the dealership, they'll come in
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: some sort of you know, zipper bag.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a Porsche nine to eleven GT three comes
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: in basically a white you know, has matt suit of
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: its own. Yes, and you see people.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Box these things mr and all that so good.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I would have I would have happily peeled off all
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the bits of plastic on my car. If they gave
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: me a list, I would have done.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Dealership should definitely do that because an option like there's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: there's almost such an anti climax when you go pick
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: up a car. It's like, oh, would you like a
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: coffee bottle of water? Whatever.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: They pretty much just flicky your keys and go, you know,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: how to work the tech, Yeah, okay, see you later.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I was blown away by how much time they spent
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: with me on the car picking it up it was.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: It was an excellent delivery because he sat me down
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: and he pressed every button. The only thing he didn't
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: tell me about was the fact that there was that
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: nav thing, and I don't think you knew it existed.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: So he went through every setting. It was like he
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to set the settings up for me, and I'm like,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I actually want to do this later and I want
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: to choose that later. But it was good to see
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: it all that it was there. I thought they spent
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: a reasonable amount of time. I was blown away that
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: they don't do pre delivery at the dealership. There's just
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: a big fucking factory up at Mount Kringo north of
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Sydney where a bunch of dealerships all under the Alto group.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Just all the cars go there and there's just a
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: production line of pre delivery and ceramic coating, whatever the
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: hell you choose to do, and then they get chipped
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: to the dealer basically ready to put in the showroom.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: So it's changed from back when I worked to Suton
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: City Holden and there was pre delivery going on back
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: in the workshop efficiency.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I guess, well were you doing back there?
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I was just the office point man. I was just
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: making coffees for people around and data entry. I remember
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: doing data entry must have just been repetitive because I
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: learned the number pad on the keyboard so well. Even
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: to this day, I can without looking, I can do
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: the number pad.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: They were actually there was nothing there. It was just
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: like we need to give this like he's got special kids,
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: some stuff to do.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Here, you have some number It's a real job.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: But I didn't even get to really drive cars around.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, I thought it was cool.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I love that. You're questioning that later on in life, No,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's like, oh wait, hey, god, this
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't add a sudden.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: City Holding was fun fact, the first Holden dealership in
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Australia to have that back then new style of the
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: of the rounded edge on the on the sign, the
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: big new weird looking signs, the ones they ended with
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: when that was launched. It was sometin City Holding. And
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: even more fun fact, all the fonts were Italic when
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: it first launched, and they looked at it and went, fuck,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: we don't like that, and then they ripped it all
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: down and put it up non Italic and that was
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: what rolled out around Australia.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I love that. That's a fun fact to you.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Another fun fact italic font fuck bringing the content, Trev.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Now tell me.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: About you, Pavelo.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: What's what sort of exciting delivery stuff have you obtained
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: over the years.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: I wish I had some fun fun facts like that.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: No, actually, that's kind of as genuine as the last one.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: We've got a story going live in a couple of
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: weeks where we drove a pair of GC three RS's
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: and one of the things we did as part of
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: that story was actually unzipping the car. So it came
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: to the dealer in that full sort of thing. But
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: the problem was we started unzipping the car, I got
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: to the back of it and it had a massive
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: dint car and the guy and I hope he didn't
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: actually get into trouble, but his job is checking all
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: the cars when they come off the trucks, and that's
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: the reason they actually unzip it while it's on the
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: truck because if it is damage, they pass on liability
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: to the truck driver or the trucking company. So this
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: was the only car in that batch that they hadn't
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: checked and it had massive dint in it. So yeah,
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: that's part of the reason they don't allow customers to
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: do pre delivery because they could pick up all of
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: this stuff and then make sure the customer actually then
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: takes the car away. So yeah, that was a that's
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: my fun fact.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: So can I ask is that obviously arranged? You arrange
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that with owners of the cars, because I mean that's
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: pretty awesome thing to be able to experience.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these were two press cars that they were preparing
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: for the launch, and the story that we're doing is
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: that we were running the two cars in. They needed
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: fifteen hundred k's on them before they could exceed six
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: thousand rpm. So we were running the cars in doing
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: a country in our back drive from Melbourne to the Bend.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: So these these are going to be sold to someone eventually,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: but in the interim they were going to be press cars,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: and you know, the owner was Push Australia the cars.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: But I think just based on the process that they
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: went through, you also wouldn't want customers seeing that environment
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: because to me it was just a workshop. But to
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: a customer who's spending you know, these cars are now
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: eight hundred and fifty grand on the road. For a
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: customer who's spending that kind of money, they don't want
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: to see the back of house stuff. They just want
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: to turn up and car on and do all that
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: sort of stuff. But little do they know people are already
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: sat in it to take a petrol station and all
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: this sort of stuff. So it's quite quite a fascinating process.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: How devastating would you be to pick up? Finally you
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: get your Porsche GT three rs and it's got a
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: bloody DNT in it. I remember taking my stinger to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: get like a paint correction done. Shout out to I
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: think they're called Atlass body Works, but they had a
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: goal Wing three hundred sl the nineteen fifty four you
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: know famous thing that I think Lindsay Fox has got one.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: And this thing was starting geez it was good, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I said, wow, what's what's wrong with this car?
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: It's like it looks fine. Did you guys just finish it?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: He goes no, no, no, Look up the back round
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the back.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: There was like just just devastating damage done to the
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: back of this.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Absolute classic car. And what had happened was the owner
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: of it had paid like Cathay Pacific some one of
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: these big airlines extra cash. Please look after this. This
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: is you know one of the rarest cars in the world.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. And one of the one
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: of the straps while it was in transit in the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: air had come off and bashed the car around up
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: the back and you just go. And they had to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: foot the bill for it. Not the not the owner, sorry,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the airline had to foot the bill. Yeah. Whatever airline
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that was, by the way, I don't know if it was.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get suit again.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: It was an airline.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: It was an airline.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: It so I feel like you're like being sued. Look,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: it's bad.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: You want to if I thought that we're a decorated
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: soldier in a Ben Robert Smith's kind of way.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: It means they're paying attention.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, they're listening. How is your performance on
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the nearburg Ring? How'd you go? How'd you go in
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: your little Audie high car? This is the best story.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: So we we were trapped in Europe. Okay, So I
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: book a one way flight to Berlin every year for
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: the big show I go to over there because I
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: assume the Apple of Launch is going to be the
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: week after an Apple will fly me from Europe to
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: San Francisco on their home right. So I book a
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: one way flight. I'm a cheapskate anyway. Then the rumors
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: come out the Apple event is going to a fucking
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: week later, and I'm saying to my cameraman Robert, we're
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: going to be fucked here.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: This is a very long setup. I just wanted to
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: know about the nearby good luck.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, what are we going to do for
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: a week, Because it's cheaper to stay in Europe. So
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: I go, mate, let's drive across to Paris, because there's
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: he can go to. Here's something you can do in Paris.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I said, But on the way, let's go to the
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: neurburg Ring. So that's me. I'm keen. I want to
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: do it. I look it up and there's track days,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: and there's tourist days. I go, fucking beautiful. There's a
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: tourist day on the Tuesday. That's when we'll go excellent.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I watch every YouTube video on the newburg Green website.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: It's not narrated. It's cartoons that tell you that, you know,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: you got to put your indicator on, you got to
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: overtake on the left, you've got to obey the signs.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Whatever the fuck. You know, it's just it's really obvious.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It's very simple. So we turn up I've rented a
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: fucking houty just to get from Berlin to Paris, and
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: we turn up outside of the neurburg Ring and it's
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: a fucking cue. There's like a hundred cars and I'm like, wow,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: this is like because I'm expecting Mount Panorama. I just
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: want to get on and drive around at sixty k's
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: an hour and experience the track. Right. But let's say
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: there's one hundred. Two of them are off the off
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: the shelf cars like my fucking Audi. The rest of
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: them are fucking race cars. I'm going, this doesn't feel right,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: this is weird, man, And I'm like, we've got to
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: do it, and I've got I'm here, I've got to
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: do it right. And so we fucking download the app
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: and I put the money on and you scan a
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: QR code and you're on and i'd start, you know,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I give it a bit, but I'm going, like a
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and fucking people are just going past me at
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: a raider not and I'm going, oh ship, and see
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I would have I would have gone right, I'll give
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: it a bit of clappy, but I gotta I gotta
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: mate with me in a passenger seat and being a
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: passenger with some dick in a road car gone fast
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: rental rental, right, and so fucking I'm driving ring Man
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: and I've got like the full video of I didn't
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: obviously post, but just so much of me going oh fuck,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: where fuck? This is bad. This is not a tourist day.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: This is bad.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: This is this is the ship you see on YouTube.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: And I realized at this point this they have track
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: days that are organized, you know, Porsche and shit high
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: at the track, But then they have these two tourist days,
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: which is when any dickhead with a roll cage can
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: come and smash it into the arm coot like you
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: see on fucking YouTube.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: So basically it's really a free for all because you can.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: It is a tourist day, so it's open. But like
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: the so called rules, they don't really know speed them.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: It's you know, there's no posts. I expected, like bath,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: let's just see one speed sign and just go. Yeah,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I'll stick around fucking one hundred and thirty hundred and
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: fifty on the long straight, I'll go fucking one hundred
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: and ninety I'll do what I can do, but on
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: the corners, I'm keeping it cool here brother, and I
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: made I'm halfway around going this is fucking bad because
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: there's no way off. It's twenty kilometers. You can't just
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: pull off, and I had to do it all.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: You know, it was It was funny, Trev. I actually
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: just listening to you say that, I think a lot
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: of people don't actually know how it works, and just
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: to you know, you obviously can use a computer, you
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: can research it, but to still not know what a
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: tourist day is just shows you that I actually think
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: they need to have genuine tourist days where there is
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: a speed limit and you can actually just enjoy it.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Because I was the same with you, I ended up
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: we did a story with one of the rental car
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: companies and if you want to take an actual faster
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: car on there, the excess for some of these cars
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: is like thirty thousand euros and that's for like an
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: entry level BMW, nothing even special. And the entire time
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: I was on there, I was petrified that I was
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: going to get in the path of someone going fast
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: and write this car off and be up for a
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars bill for a car that's worth ten grand,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: and it is the most intimidating thing in the world.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: And I had no interest in going back unless it
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: was on a closed event where you knew who was
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: on there and what cars are beyond there.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I looked up that there's a lot of
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: companies that will rent you essentially a car with a
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: roll cage, and I've been open at Tesla, and I
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: looked at that. I probably would do that again next time,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: because at least I could go at it with a
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: bit of confidence and not get in people's way, because
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: that was the thing. I was in people's way, no doubt.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a beautiful track. I really wanted to
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: just drive it. I just wanted to see it. And
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: I think that I would pay twenty bucks to if
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: there was a two hour window where you could go
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: and just experience it, I would, and I think they should.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: And Mate, I posted the video knowing i'd get shit
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: canned for it, especially from the locals, and they're like,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: there is no speed, da da da rental car company.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: They're going to fuck you, They're going to bill you.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: And I made I read the rental agreement afterwards because
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I shit myself. Trust me, they had nothing on me
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: because I can't remember what the clause was, but essentially
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: it's only if you break the law, and I didn't
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: break the law, So actually it wasn't illegal to take
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: the rental car on it. I just I was wearing
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: the risk. If I did something wrong, I was fucked.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: But because I'd got off and I was okay, there
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: was no recourse. They could take the car that already
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: been returned. They can't bill you for something that didn't happen,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: so you know, look, I was in the way, but
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: it was a fucking fun experience regardless. And I anyone
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: that's into cars like we are, I do think it's
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: an awesome thing to do if you do it right,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: If you go in and you do it right and
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: you know what you're getting for. You need to know.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: You need to watch all those videos and realize it
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: can go wrong real quick. And there's people there with
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: a fucking you know, Mercedes GT Black Edition fucking flying around.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: These are race cars, and it's it's wild. It is
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: not a Baptist tourist drive. Well, there's a choice of words.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Fucking people. I don't care whose translation, it is tourist
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: drive is a shit name for it.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: Can we agree? Yeah?
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Even though I'm a dickhead, it's a shit name for it.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things you genuinely want
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: to do, but man, like an AMG blaring past you
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: at two hundred k's whatever, It's just you can't have
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: it like that.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: You know. The best thing is I got a speeding
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: fine in the email two days ago from somewhere near Cologne.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I was doing one hundred and ten hundred zone. Now
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: you've had fines here in Australia. What do you think?
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Don't get in if you know what it is. How
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: much do you think the fine was? Gordy for one
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: hundred and ten hundred zone on a German auto barn
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: It's about three hundred here, I reckon for a hundred bucks.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a feeling it's really high, either really
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: low or seriously high. I'm going to say. I'm going
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: to say about fifteen hundred bucks. I don't know where
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I've heard this before.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Twenty euros, oh get out. Yeah, I'm like I didn't
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: even notice that on my fucking credit card.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Fuck.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: You know the thing that they do over there, which
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: I think is fantastic. On an auto barn, the speed
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: limits they have them, the fines aren't that expensive. If
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: you were to do the same level of speed over
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: the speed limit off the auto barn in a residential area,
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: mine is significantly higher. But what they're saying is on
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: the auto barn, you know, stick to the speed limit.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: If you don't, it'll be a slap on the wrist
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: as long as long as you're not going too crazy.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: But if you're in a residential area, we're going to
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: go to town on you. And I think that is
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: exactly how it should be done.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: The Germans are great drivers, like hands down.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Honestly, it was a great experience. I've driven Italian auto
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: strata before, but never the auto barns. And there was
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of roadworks, to be honest that like, we
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: came across roadworks a lot. Mate. We're in the left lane,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: fast lane. I was one hundred and forty at one
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: point and man, I can't round a bend and there
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: was a fucking truck, you know, the big cross roadworks
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: on I'm like, should you have not warned me of this?
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: It was just there It was a bit sketchy at times,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: but there was probably more roadworks than than there was
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: open stretches, but it was it's sometimes nice to stretch it,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: like you go on fast, you pull in and Rob
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: was with me and he goes, why are we pulling in?
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: You know, wait, wait a second, and I just go
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: look at that, and I'm going At one point I said,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to find out how much they're doing, right,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: So I just tail them and it was two hundred
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: and something. I got to Titland when I'm out, but
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: they're flying like it's wild wild.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for coming to the Trevor Long Show. Everyone
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: you asked me.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: You want me to listen to you talk?

  Speaker 1: How much would you?
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Genuinely? Lawyers?
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: How much would you to our lawyers? That's right, they'll
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: probably wipe their ass with that one too.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Sponsors.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: No, we should get a sponsor.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Probably should.

• 58:57
  Speaker 3: is in my car. I love it, wear it every day. Now,
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: let me think about it.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: He's great because the new hat doesn't have it written
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: on the front.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks good.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Can I have one of those?
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, I've got to Actually I do. I do have
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: something to tell you. Your hat that you gave me.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: I genuinely loved.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Right, and I wore it, the bad black one with
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the metal badge and very nice right. It felt very premium,
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: which is surprising because it came from you. Right, So
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I wore that I believe it or not, I wore
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: it to a gym. I was actually going to the gym.
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: It was the first time an em merch went to
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: a gym. I can tell you that I wear that
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: shit every day. Well, here's the thing, here's the thing.
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: I wore it to my country club gym, right, and
• 59:43
  Speaker 6: I took it off for a brief moment in time,
• 59:46
  Speaker 6: and I went outside and I got in the car.
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, bloody left the left my hat next
• 59:51

  Speaker 1: Someone fucking took it.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Someone took its, right, Cordy. So the new We've
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: got two new hats. One of them is the exact
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: same hat, but with this rubber logo on the FT's
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: good and this one is called Racing Stroke.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: The color, how come you didn't get like blue red
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: like the BMW and.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 5: The colors of the f TM logo, which is okay,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: it's becoming a bit racial, now, isn't it racial?
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: These are my colors of my tripe.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: What's uh?
• 1:00:24

  Speaker 1: Oh, that's the Oh, that's the business.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Put the logo on the back instead of I just
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: got smart. I just got to the point where it's like,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: you people don't want to wear your logo on their hat,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: but they don't they like to support you, right, So
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: this is a hat that you can wear without feeling
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: like you're walking around with a fucking.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: And do people indeed support you? Yeah? Sell the merch.

• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah. While you're looking that up, can I tell
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: you a really funny story about support and punters. It's
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: on the bottom of every article on my website. It
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: says you know you've got a little buy and says
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: buy a Trevor drink if you like this content by
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: a Trevor drink. And it's a click a button, but
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: you don't drink exactly, it's half the joke. And you
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: click a button that takes you to PayPal and you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: know you can send me money, right. I probably you
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: had like thirty people send money right you.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Like one of those three weeks ago gets out on Twitter.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Totally three weeks ago, I got a five dollars donation
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: buy me drink? Right cool? Cool cool? And then about
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: a week later Blake emails me. You go just wondering
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: if you got my donation and wondering where that goes?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Is it for a charity or something? And I wrote
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: back and.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 6: Said, mate, it's a It literally says the e f
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: GM drink's fun. It's you literally bought me a bottle
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: of sun kissed. He fucking thought he was donating five
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 6: bucks of charity via the website The least Wow, Yeah exactly,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 6: that's where it was going.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: The least you could do is actually buy a bottle
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: of sun Kissed. The least you could do is start
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: drinking again.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's I don't need any more.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Way, here we go. What was the last time you
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: had a drink?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Bob Fulton's farm when I killed a pig with my
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: bare hands. Probably don't want to do that again. What
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: is that a weird stak? Now?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Is that a historical story?
• 1:02:51
