The afternoon after the morning after the night before with Jay and Duck on Not for Radius. Hell-oh, snipers! To unpaying fellows and feliks. We're looking back to the free epsir of Thursday. Yeah, it's been a bit shambolic. Apologies we've been all over the play, Syka. Mad person's person's person, but we're back to regular programming as per. So, a big old potty today. We're back to the day after the night through. Something off the back of Uncle Mad Dodd, Clive who we mentioned earlier in the week who's building some outrageous river bashes. We've seen some more intel and some videos come through of somebody that grew up in this scene with Uncle Mad Dodd Clive. All I remember is the photos of a big bleak honest. It's a sec. Obviously, a couple of repping war stories in the mix as well. But first, I want to say, if this is the favorite part of your week, I look forward to Thursdays, the boys, not for radio. Then we want you to jump get amongst the sniper elite episodes.

Drop two extra ones of these a week. Mondays the inside word, which is a deep dive into our weekends, personal life, everything's going on. I've actually got quite a lot to share this coming Monday. They haven't shared yet on the podcast. Costs less than a beer a month. Also gives you first crack at all the pricing. We are currently putting the finishing touches on fly away to the NRL Grand Final fingers crossed the wires. We've already taken a couple of people to baffist four days of absolute pandemonium. Let's see. First crack at merch as well. Obviously, the hats are back online. You can find a link if you want to buy a hat. Get it sent anywhere on the globe. You can do that in the show notes of the podcast today. So with all that said, that is the best way to support us to continue doing this sort of content if you like it. Then get amongst share any episode of the mate at the very least if you don't want to become a sniper elite. Joundunk are not for radio. They'll make you breakfast the following month. Support for not for radio comes from classic builders that is true. Think of them as the calm mate. You've wring when you're freaking out about building.

Attention snipers! Gear up and hold your positions. It's time to load up some war stories. Your tails from the front line, brought to life. Prepare to fire. Hmm. This is... Like you, I have no fucking idea where this is going. Hey fellas. You can call me Dennis. Because that's my fucking name. I call Ireland home and have been listening to you ladies for four years now. Two years sniper elite, one of the share, the chaotic details of my trip to see you legends at the World Stones giving championships and East Ireland and Scotland. Here's the... All right, let's long time snipe here from Ireland. You're absolutely legends, bring me a lot of laughter and peace to us fellas. So thank you for what you do. Naturally, when you boys announce you were heading to Scotland for the World Stones giving championships, I started to pull together a plan. Now my wife is Scottish. I'm Irish. And when you live on the East Coast of Scotland,

I promise to you are a romantic weekend to get away at Auckland. Fuck. I guess it was. I'm trying to. Or at fuck, we met these... I remember them now. Yeah. Or at least that's what she thought. Now once she was born into the trip, I casually mentioned, fuck, you'll never guess what. She has been forgiving me for over 20 years, so she knows the script. In reality, she knows how much you leds have helped me over the years, so she was secretly delighted with the thought of chasing you two legends around a fucking island. So I replaced the romantic part with shit planning and organised chaos, but as always, a great story to tell. So buckle up. Fuck up number one. Yes, I love these stories. On the drive over to Orban, I realised I fucking forgot to book tickets for the pre-party. I thought that would be the best chance to see you, leds,

but was relieved when I saw you posted a video arriving in Orban and the pissing rain saying that you're having an early night. It's all about the recovery as you know, leds. So I booked a nice restaurant for me in the mezo on Friday night. This is exactly where the romance ended, and the wheel started to come off. Fuck up number two. Next day, Stone's coming day. We had a lazy morning. As I thought, we could just catch the last bus and jump on the ferry to catch a few hours of the action. Well, fuck me was I wrong. I didn't realise that this was so fucking popular. Turns out, we were booked on the 10 a.m. bus. We missed it. Through some serious groveling I somehow bagged us the last two seats on the midday bus. The comeback was on. Another strong recovery. Also, I thought. Fuck up number three. The bus driver warned us. It was a total shit show at the ferry crossing, but being an optimist I ignored him. As we rocked up to the P.I. realised two things. One, the drive was right on the fucking money. And two, I need a serious plan if the wife is going to queue up here.

Anyways, we proceeded to queue for three fucking hours for the fucking ferry, which is no more than a fucking dinghy. I kept the wife myself. Well, we were lubricated during the wait, which together with the nice weather warm person chats with the locals, the three hours quickly flew by. Fuck up number four. We finally stepped foot on the on four p.m. Which meant we should have been able to grade the last bus and be able to grade the last but of the action and never look for you, Lads. As we walked onto the island out of the corner of my eye, the Mrs. Spotted you all queueing up to leave the island. Turns out you were getting on the fucking boat that we just got off. Fuck. I'll run over for a quick chat, which turned into open arms from Jane Dunn before we even chat. And obviously saw one happy half-cut Irishman on his way in your direction and in the reason why I was there anyways.

As you were getting hurried onto the fucking boat, it was a quick hello pictures with the boys, which I have included hugs around. It was so quick that I could only find a fiver in my bag for the not-for-radio hat, with a promise to pay the balance once we arrived back in Orbitant Spoons. This promise took an unexpected turn. Hold on to that thought. Don't think that Anna hasn't fucking forgot. She's like that motherfucker in the silver jacket. Gave me five years ago. She waited all night for you. With you boys back on the mainland, we walked over to where the action was happening to see the last of the stones being skimmed. It had literally just finished. We did not see a single stone skimmed. Not fucking one. The wife was bent over double laughing at this stage. There was no other option but to laugh. After a tactical boardroom meeting and more warm piss,

we queued for another couple of hours to get back to the mainland. Oh shit. My now at 6pm and our return bus was booked for 10pm. Fuck. My wife started to transition from amused to pure unadulterated rage. Old five can fucking van Dan was starting to come out of there. Yeah. You guessed it. I was busier than a one-armed cab driver with crabs begging every bus driver and scored two cancellation seats, which got us back to Orban. Mother of all God. What next? At this point, the wife went to freshen up and I sat down on the couch. And yep, you guessed it promptly fell asleep. Woke up at 11pm. Fuck. My wife tried to wake me a million times, or so she said, anyway, with the misses in bed, I was determined to salvage the night. So I said I've dispewns. Walked in completely the wrong direction, bought a cabab and that was drier than a nun's chuff and had to return home and defeat. The next morning I realised spoons was literally across the road

from where we were staying. This is amazing. What? An absolute fuck up. So to summarize, we traveled across Scotland to see you spend most of the day and I was just wondering if you were just a little bit more of a guy who was just a little bit more of a fucking fairy that wasn't a fairy had a 20 second interaction with your absolute legends, which was short and sweet, much like my lovemaking. Missed 100% of all stones skimming, got hopelessly lost trying to find you in Orban and got a heavily discounted not for radio hat. Consider it an interest free loan until you're the next fucking fairy meeting. Go well, go long, and up the fucking walls. Hopefully get round to sending in like all snipers. There are plenty of drunken, far-related stories and one that involves smuggling a horse across the Greek Albanian border. Of course. Mate, that was... Yeah, because he was out of all the pieces. He copped it the worst out of every way. Yeah, because by the time we were leaving,

everyone was... Everyone had been steaming tenants all day. And so we had... I don't know, how many in that queue do you reckon? 30 people, five theories, minimum in that queue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Going over. And so everybody started to fill in behind us. We sort of... We saw the writing on the wall up and peered out pretty early. You get back to spoons in good time to make sure that we could actually make a night of it. Because not everybody came across, because none could be fucking lining up for three hours in the fairy. Literally the boat he hopped off, we hopped on. Man, it's so ruthless. Yeah, and he's like, ah, fuck, fuck, fuck. And he's like, oh, I've only got a fiveran. And he's like, fuck, you better come and find me. And he's like, oh, fuck. I'm fine, he's spoons. And she's like, they're motherfucking in the soul. Do you reckon he's 20? Keep your name on awake at night. Yeah, she ended up ducking out early too. She was fucked. Yes, she was actually. Um, no. She got a cab ride home. And so, have you never been to Scotland? One of the many things I love about this place. I don't know what time she left. It can't have been that... At the big 1030.

Yeah, what was that? Yeah, whatever. Whatever time she left. I reckon it was probably late enough for the push-ups to be shut. Not in fucking Scotland and not in Melbourne. So you go to the service station where you fill your gas up and she got three ice creams, some fucking pastry number that was still in the warmer, that there's a person in their baking, because you're in the kitchen in the corner. And she got two bottles of wine. Amazing. And she thought she could take two bottles of wine at the end of the night. Oh, fuck, yes, she can. She's just getting started. But that's brilliant. Thank you very much, Dennis. And we look forward to the interest on that. It's going to be astronomical. We're basically like a fast-cash easy-pay scheme. So it's like, I can worse than the IRD or whatever you attack, Sajan. If you watch the video, these are one of the hats that you can buy. Yeah. You're online down. I think that's the one that he got. Oh, you got to get an orange one, did he? Yeah. Now, I just got to put a phone call through to a good mate, Andrew Buster Kirby from the Two Flogs podcast. I've had it, but on at the moment. And also have a huge weekend next week.

In fact, I'm literally calling him right now. And he's in the midst of, I think they've recorded a couple of episodes out of a new studio. So they've had all the move going on. Hello, get a mate. Hey, um. Can I just preface that by saying we tried to get him on earlier? And it was a complete fuck up because of our studio. From our end from our end. And so we've essentially we're called curb after one in a month, 1000 out of 10. And now we just called him on the old dog and bone. And so they're trying to be fancy, get some main audio. The paper cups and the string. Fucking work. If I was to hazard a guess, I'll be a furiously finger blasting your nose with the pebbman oil at the moment. I'm sitting in my car at the. South tweed bowl club car park. With a homeless guy who's offered to wash my windscreen toys. Fuck off. He's just keeps coming back. I should video time this. This is hilarious.

I don't know if his jurisdiction is in here because there's actually two homeless guys. I'm worried they're going to meet each other in the middle and just do get out with their water bottles. I'm also worried that the cops will turn up at a security guard. I'm like a fat kid that's been left in the car while I'm spying the parties. You get down for soliciting six to homeless people. My honestly, if you're fucking sexy walks up to me, I want to win anything else. I'm just doing my jobs. So it would rather be. I would rather be in jail at the moment than where I fucking in. I gave a little bit of context and obviously you guys have been sitting up the new studio, which is a big move. And so your current setup is you got to wait an entire day for Towsha to turn up to hook up the internet because they don't give you a fucking time window. They say we might turn up between nine and five and you've got to be there and you've got 10 minutes of you not there.

We're not coming back. Yeah, and whereas new studio is it is a fucking black hole for anything internet or phone rated. So I've had the right in a whiteboard marker on my glass window of my new studio. I'm five minutes up the road ring me Towsha. So because I've had an nervously take off to make a phone call. But and a new studio is so cool. It's like it's fucking rad. It's like we've got always big catches with TV's with all these sort of ship and now I can. And it's controlled by it's controlled by Brunhilda. And and no access to the car park because I need a phone and we're not trusted yet. And I don't have the code to the bin because people prior to us were putting things in the bin that weren't approved by the body corporate. Oh, that sounds like this. I'm in my bin approval. Well, the minute I get my bin approval, I'm shaking it.

And then that I can take my key back. I'll be very satisfied. I like it. Hey, he had the deal ends worth who is essentially the heat. Honsho running the show. She told you that you needed to learn some manners and you took that actually quite well. I thought. Yeah, so she said, excuse me. So you need to learn some manners. No, I went, yeah, fuck off. And. It didn't go as well as what you think it would. But she did fuck and there is an email coming. I imagine. It's been a stressful time because next weekend. So next Saturday, this is the day after the rock 2000 countdown here for us in New Zealand. You guys have got the podcast royal number three. We do, mate. It's the 26th September on the Gold Coast at the convention center. It is. It is arguably the greatest card we've ever put together. There is some really, really good fights.

An issue that not all podcasts is there's like some influences on there. There's a couple of glads in wheelchairs, which is probably the wildest thing I've ever seen. They just, they just, they just octopus strap their left wheels to the other guys right wheels and a punch. Fuck out of each other. And there's obviously no going away. There's no going away from that. Well, you can't just get up and walk off. Yeah, you know, there's the trapped in the way. Now I want to clarify. They are paraplegic from the waist down, not the waist up. Yeah. So they're just punching. So it's going to be fucking unbelievable. They used to do a thing called, they used to do a thing called tire boxing. We have a car tire and you've got to put your feet in the car tire. So you've got to have one foot of a car tire and you just, there's you are in range at all times. Well, yeah, that and it's all in our view scenes and clips of these two boys going at it.

One of them put up a sparring clip, yellow, and I was just in awe of it. Like if I didn't own the company, I'll be paying my money to come and watch it is fucking insane. We've also got the little guys who's called the ant weight division. They are, I don't even know what you can call these people anymore. But they're, they're, they're small humans. Yes. And then I don't know. Not children, but the same stature. Yeah. Well, I mean, slightly bigger, um, domes on them. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I know I had a call, but they're going to go at it. So, so I come snow white seven of them. So, so they're now snow white and the little people. Yeah, snow white in the slightly larger than children people. And then we've got two of them going at it. And they're fucking like proper ones like really. This is going to be like proper boxes. It's going to be fucking awesome.

We've got seven man fight, which is a blindfold fight. So we've got, we've got Benny Penton deal who is blind. He has been tested rigorously. He, yeah, he, of watching come off a motorbike now. He crashed my car. I accidentally punched him in the face six times when I'm letting. Six times he's war one in the shop and it's probably. Six my best punches I've ever thrown. So he doesn't flinch ever. Right. So he's definitely blind. So he's fighting. He's the, he won it last year. And that's when the suspicions came about. So I started smacking him in the mouth. And then. And then we have six other guys. So we've got two guys from two blocks podcast. And two guys from proper, proper true yarn. And, and they all are going at it. And the funniest thing is they're all talking smack to each other. But they've got fucking blindfolds on and the chances of them punching each other's mate in the face.

Yes. Yes. So last year we opened it up to smaller podcasters. So, you know, the smaller podcasters go to chance and jump in. And two of them filled each other for the whole fucking three minutes. And didn't even know. And no two partners on a podcast and they were going at it. And they didn't know it was their best mate. It's fucking wild. The crowd loves that. A lot. We, we both did the pay per view of assuming you're under the pay per view again this year, which. Are you going to link up for that already for the pay per view? Yeah. So the link it actually went up, went up the Saturday. So anything you need for this. If you're on the golf course or in prison, you're if you're anywhere in Australia. And you want to get to this thing. Because we do have them. We have like the normal fights like just a proper boxing fights, which is. You know, we've got big Zaden fight and. Jimmy judge the power reader. He's he's fighting. In the main event with with with. With jock boxing from. Saw heads. It's going to be a massive main event. They generally look like they'd hold on to that. I think so.

I think it's going to be really cool. Yeah. But if you want to get involved. I've got to ask events. Calm.au every every every bit of information is on our website. And then stay tuned to. Two blogs. Socials. Our socials. Knuckles and socials. And of course, our for our events co-sosials. Everything's on there with links to the pay for view. We actually built. We actually invested our own money. And built. What the platform for pay for view this year. Because we've been left down twice. So. We had. Fuck all of it. We did it. We know just. It's just what happened. It's happened. So this year we've actually invested a lot of money. We've got people involved. They built us our own pay for view and it's been tested off its head. Because trust us. We don't want this thing to fail. And if it does, it's on us. And then you can. Fuck you. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say.

I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. I'm going to say. You can. You can. Fucking brain us. But. This thing is worldwide. It is going to be absolutely phenomenal. And this is the last of this format that we're doing. And then next year we've got some exciting stuff coming up for this event. So we're we're really looking forward to this. The. The first one, Correct, 100% correct. It sold out in minutes. It was just a phenomenal thing. We sold like 40 or 50 tables and then the arena sold out. I don't know. I don't want to put a silly figure. It was less than 10 minutes, I think. It just sold out. It was just incredible. Hell of a watch. I made it was unbelievable to be part of that. I didn't see that one. I had a little bit of time. Of course, I didn't eat and my blood sugar dropped and any greener ball people have formed a world champion. I came to the ring with him feeding me honey.

And I thought this is a really weird only fans dream. I was going to remember when Danny Green rang me for the first time. He rings me for the first one. And he goes, hey, I'm champ. And I just went, I'd be better if you didn't call me fucking champ. Who's this? He goes, it's Danny Green. I said, fucking, yeah, yeah, he called me whatever you want, but you commented that one with the Hallow Sport Boys. They're doing it there back this year too. Hallow Sport Boys. That's what you get with the pay for you. You get Hallow Sport and a couple of guest professional boxes in there helping them out on the commentary. So you get really good, you actually get really good commentary when it comes with it. And you see, we've got Josh Niel, the Wombat Man, Josh Niel and Poo Bennett from the Alpha Blokes. They are comparing the entire joint. So you'll see them in and out too on the pace of you. Tom from Alpha Blokes, knuckles and myself on the lounge doing the fighter interviews. So that's going to be really cool. We're really looking forward to that. We've got a live show and a press conference on the Friday night,

which is absolutely free at the theatre. So that's on the 25th, the Friday the 25th, at the theatre inside the casino. If you've got a ticket to the fight night, you are more than welcome to come to a free event, goes for three hours, press conference way into a live show that I'm encing and it is going to be off its head that live show. It is so much work is going into this. And it's a big, create interaction one. So everyone there gets a chance to get involved. So it's going to be really cool. Yeah, the coolest thing about this is there's so many, like there's so many people that listen to all of those podcasts and know all of those people. And we never have the opportunity to get them all in one space. And the crew are all some mungling out and getting out and catching up with everybody, particularly in the way and that sort of stuff. So if you, there are a few tickets left. So get your mates together and just go, this is what we've got planned fell hours. Just grab the ball by the horns, go and get 10 tickets for you and 90 your mates and rock up on mass and have a blast. So the thing is the cheap tickets haven't sold out.

The only expensive tickets have sold out. But the cheaper ones around the nose bleeds. And if you're, I don't know if you've ever been to the Garcos Convention Center, but there's not a bad seat there. So my mom every year I spend because I own the company, but still have bought my mom fucking good tickets. She, she sits at the top in a $400 seat. She goes and sits in a $125 seat at the top and it's better viewing. So this year, this year I got 10 free tickets in the, in the free section up the top and I'll give that to her and she goes out to get the back. Because you see the back every fucking year. So she likes to come up there. There's not a bad seat in the house. It's absolutely unbelievable. Fucking it is so good to go to those things. Well, and the thing is as well. So obviously, in New Zealand, we'll be in a lot of people across the globally tuning into the Rock 2000. There'll be a lot of them you went to the party, Rock 2000, live party last year with Knuckles, which is fucking epic. But that's our Friday night sorted. We've got nothing sorted for Saturday today. So I'm just saying to everyone in New Zealand

or across the globe, if you want a fucking great paper view to watch and you just want to be lazy and watch from the seat, you catch at home and that's that's the option, man. I'll be doing it for sure. And, and for next year, Rocks, we're going again, but I can say it's a bit of a different format. I want the Kiwis that listen to this and listen to my podcast to get in touch with me and we want some Kiwis files. Yeah, fuck you. You the MBN guy. Two sex man. I'm just on the phone. Thank you. All right, we can see you. I'm a tosser guy here. We're here. We're going to just have another couple of hand shandys to the homeless and get your internet sorted and check back in with you. The thing is he's just he's just read my number plates and look to these phone and look back and give me a big thumbs up and I suspect he's going to wear my skin home and I'm going to shoot you. So I'll just work out here. There we are. That's going to be you. So I might get some free shit. Man, fucking high speed fiber internet and hand job. Just good to be a Kirby right now. Yeah, I'm fucking tired. Guys, well, thank you so much for helping

out with the plug there. We really get the pay for you in New Zealand. Get it all in the world. Wherever you guys are listening and I just, yeah, thank you guys because like I've mentioned to you, boys before, I started off this as an NFR fucking mad fan. Love you, boys, and now you're part of our family and I'm fucking I love it. And I can't wait to get back over and do another episode because I love it when your boss sees me and goes, fuck me, you're back. We fucking love it, mate. You guys are all extremely talented in doing red shit. So we, you know, love being a part of it or watching it from afar and yeah, we wish you all the best of luck for the night. We'll be watching for sure. You're going to get internet and we'll fucking chat soon. Fuck yeah. Thanks for watching. Love you. Love you, mate. Love you, mate. Just like that. The fucking hurricane curve is just blown past. He is, you know, there's there are so many parts of not for radio that I just, you know, like the opportunities to meet new people into the go new places and all the rest of it that we've done. But meeting him and meeting knuckles would definitely be sitting

at the top of the list for me out of the culture that's coming out of this podcast. Yeah, like I talked to Kirby every week. Yeah. Admittedly, for the last few weeks, we'll be in a way and stuff. And then I'm some catching up on their podcast at the moment because that's my, so he listens to ours for a break. Yeah. And I listened to his for a break. I'm at the Jamal whatever. So I listened to pretty, I think of maybe like six or seven behind and actually they started listening to the previous one and he was just being quite open and honest like something when you had your wobble. Yeah. He's just had a fucking a bit of an hourly wobble. Yeah. And that always seems to happen for poor old curves. We've got a bit of honest been running comedy nights with bunch different comedians and flying them out from different parts. And then he's got fucking a studio move going on. He's managing at the local rugby league club. I think it's the league club who just their team just made the finals. I believe but lost. And then he's obviously got the fight night and stuff going on. And that's almost like a similar setup to what you had going on. Of course, you're going to fucking wobble. You keep piling shit on your plate. That's going to happen. So I feel a bit bad that I missed it. Sorry. We were overseas and I just didn't even clock. I now

that I look back is like you had a bit of a quiet in the chat. Yeah. And it is one of those people that are right in your face every single day and you still you can still miss that stuff. So unfortunately we're there for the big fella because he's there for so many people. He has got some strong shoulders, broad shoulders. I want to put all the links for the paper view on stuff and just save it. Put a reminder on your phone or whatever because it actually has a fucking great watch. It's like we're out. You got to see that shit. Speaking of stuff like we're out. So you going to see it. So you may remember the other day. I need to find his actual name. Where is he? The other day on the podcast. If you listen to Monday, Tuesday, I was chatting about Uncle Mad Dog Clive. Now Uncle Mad Dog Clive was a mad dog. Still is a mad dog, but we don't have as much to do with him. Long story won't get into it. But back in the day, he used to be the only bloke in Christ Shed. We grew up with fucking American cars, American car parts and we just build wild shit.

And we were saying that he used to build these river bashes basically with these massive tractor tires on them. And then I get sent this message after we that episode goes out from someone that's sniper elite, the top brass. This Hayden Jones goes, bro, just listen to your pod chat about your uncle imported US car parts, etc. And had the river monsters they built. It's it's had aeroplane tires. His name wasn't Clive or is it? And so he's got these pictures. So if you're watching this, you'll be able to see this. But and if you want to see it, they're fucking epic. Well, they're just death traps. It's basically peace applied with a frame aeroplane tires and big fuck off engines. So I messaged him and back and forward saying, holy shit, what are the chances? And so he finds us this message. We're all awake. Yeah.

Always wear your seatbelt. And so it's fucking such a fucking mad setup. Fucking wait. Do you hear this thing roar? Was it this one we want on that? This is the B8. But this is recording on a television that has been played on. Yeah, hang on. I'll go to the other one because the other one's way louder. This is fucking teeth track. The people listening, there's sex people on this thing. Sex money and be more. And the thing flat people were dying.

It's fucking hectic. Smashing through the river. Loaded up. People standing up on the back of it. And just go straight into the river, floating, chugging along and a fuss all of it here goes, listen, this thing. So sick. It's just mad max on the Y-Mac river. And they're just driving them down the river. And that was what they did every week. Look at that fucking thing go hooning. Makes for you to get the busiest bus. It was sent you through Tommy's. Is it fucking T-bone the other bloke that was going the other way? That's the, that is when it was an era when people were just building shit to have fun with. And there wasn't any. I mean, obviously, they would have been driving those down and regular road to get them to the river. They wouldn't have taken them there on a trailer. Yeah. Where are you even sourcing a V12 from? Like probably.

Probably for our, for our, for our, Aston Martin or, that's what it's meant for. There's a bit far engine. There's, there's something that you could just get random parts for. Or even like, where do you get fucking airplane tires from? I don't know. You don't want to dig too. Yeah, pull on that. The Y-Mac river is very close to the crush at airport. And I suspect there's something to do with it. Like a hole in the chainmail fence at the back of the way. They come out and and set New Zealand. Fuck, it goes to grab their plane in the mornings on blocks. Oh, fucking hell. So that was epic. I hate it. I'll say I put that on today's episode. That might, oh, we got, let's go. We've got time for a, um, where's your slay man? Just tell me to move. Oh, no. Same move. My sister has just sent through the IKEA wardrobe that you're right there. And while men just put together a fucking epic IKEA wardrobe, um, sister's new house and it's like, I think it was five and a half grand or something like that. And that's looks just like money well spent.

A whole wall. It's got like all these little compartments for your jewelry and just all the dividers and all the drawers. Just I'm bought anything from my key yet, but I need to get on that buzz. Yeah, we just go for the meatballs. It's quite, I don't know if I can do it. Let's just, we should go for it. We should go for a wee show lunch. The only pros around. That's all right by my house. You see, these guys that go around in the States and they put signs up in the IKEA and say, this bathroom is not a display. It's fully plumbed in. Please try before you buy and they put these fucking stickers up and then people go and use the display toilet. It's kind of like steamer on here. They do a great job. It's basically one of those. Is it one out? We snare as well. Yeah. Is it? Oh, is it? No. The one out is the one out is the one out is the out. So we apart. Yeah, it's the one out is the out. There's another one that I try to do at the end of the thing and I'm going to need it. That one's out. But this one out, I'm Sylvia Park. So you go, I mean, if you've been everyone's that's been fucking is in IKEA and every other country that's listening to this other than New Zealand. And they take you on this journey. It's like a walkway through and you can see everything in situ. So it works quite good.

You start the mission, you start making yourself in the spot. And then they've got this cafeteria, which is just so slick. Like, fuck, it's just streamlined. That's one of the things that stops you from shopping is when you get hungry, if you shop on a full stomach, you're going to buy more. Like it's a league. Unless it's grocery shopping. You want to go in there, fucking ravenous. You know, you need to be able to shit, you don't need. Yeah, exactly. Is that the Pekka Mix Lolli thing with 30 kilos? Fuck. Fuck you're been in. This is the classic booties, classic yarn. Rodi, I've been far out of line for this week. Oh, thank you very much. Here we go. From a no, on a Aaron. A wrong. Rodi, get a fellas, you can come here. Because that's my fucking name. Good, and absolutely shocker of a yarn feed from back in my adventurous, more adventurous days. Now, the next two neighbors have been whining and lodging complaints about our blue cattle dog barking during the day,

which is bluey, if you see the cartoon. I've been a reasonable bloke. I went out and bought a static shock dog shock color and tried to sort the issue out. But before putting it on the dog, I thought I'd better be a responsible pedo and test the voltage out on myself first. Which is an admirable thing to do. Because so many people load these things up with that test in them on themselves. And they are outing dogs. All note, it was here when the wife expressed that this was a bad idea to test the waters. I strapped a bad boy to my leg and let out a bark. Nothing happened. I checked the batteries. I made sure they're all good. I went for round tournally. Still, absolutely nothing. Lured into a completely false sense of security. I figured the neck was the only way to get a proper reading. I strapped it on tightly and this was when I got an education. I thought that they're great quotes. I didn't even manage to get a full bark out. It felt like fucking zoos himself.

It seemed a light embole straight down my throat. The sheer shock made me let out a massive scream. But the collagen care about the difference between a bark and a scream. There's a vicious cycle. Every time I cried out from the pain, it detected the vocal vibrations. And it shocked me again. I was caught in a contentionous, self-inflicted feedback loop of electricity and death. I couldn't handle the voltage. And every time I died, this fucking thing shocked me back into reality. Yeah. Oh, shit. Each time I briefly regained consciousness, I instinctively screamed from the pain which instantly triggered the collagen shock me straight back into unconsciousness. When I finally came to for good, the scene was grim. I was lying on the front lawn and full view of the cucks across the road, covered in my own piss and shit.

The wife laughing so hard she took a piss out. The collar finally was quiet and I was completely shaken up. Safe to say I decided to get rid of that fucking dog collar because it probably would have killed the dog. And so the neighbours, well they can go and get fucked. Keep up the great work fellas. And up the walls. That's so awesome. That is a classic young. A legal level stuff. That's what we're going to leave for today. That is a great way to sign off. Well, just before we go, a little bit of a acknowledgement of a lost sniper. Marcus Johnson from Port Douglas, a great mate of many fellow snipers, particularly Mark Kitson. He had a cardiac event which took him from us all and our heartscared to his beautiful family and friends, FIFO bloke, and Western I was so massive crew. And only a young buck too, early 50s. They're obviously doing it tough right now. So get around them however you can. And one of his good buddies, Mark Kitson said that he was the best man that I have ever met.

Such a gentleman. Yeah, I don't know if that's kind of hits a little bit close home. Sort of one of the first members of the crew that we've lost. As bloody dearest. So yeah, condolences. Pagi mates telling me love. Yeah. And I mean, you always say when this stuff happens, but just a very harsh reminder that life is short. Just fucking get out there and you don't do those things that you've been banging on about or thinking about every night when you put your head on the pillow. Knock some of them off, you know, go out there and and live it. Turned up for the banter. Left with Puffy eyes and piss them of bands. That's a bloody accurate wasn't it?
