WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.980 From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:05.599 And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.379 This instalment of Prevailing Strange is what 00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:21.899 we like to call Rant and Sundry, where we finish 00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:23.640 out the week by going over some of the subjects 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.460 that we've previously touched on, and follow 00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:28.750 wherever the tangents take us. So, yeah, if you 00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:30.390 like what we're doing here, guys, please like, 00:00:30.449 --> 00:00:32.130 comment, subscribe. We were just having a chat 00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:34.030 earlier about maybe doing some live streaming 00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:36.890 as well on Instagram. If that seems like something 00:00:36.890 --> 00:00:38.670 you could be into, let us know in the comments. 00:00:38.909 --> 00:00:41.229 What kind of tangents have you got for us, buddy? 00:00:41.570 --> 00:00:44.310 Tangents! Fucking Lefty Callboy and Frank Zuma 00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:46.429 released the cover for Still Waiting this week. 00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:51.250 So I'm pumped about. Yep. Dude, everyone that 00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:54.270 knows me knows Lefty Callboy is just all the 00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:55.969 things that are good and pure in the world these 00:00:55.969 --> 00:00:59.000 days. Yet to give them my time. You're a piece 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.420 of shit. Doesn't mean I won't. Yet to. The best 00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:05.620 part is, like, last year when they come over 00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:13.799 to Australia, their drummer, David, he ended 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.400 up leaving the band at the start of this year. 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.040 And they had a – they already had their European 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.829 festival tours planned. So they ring up Frank 00:01:24.829 --> 00:01:28.430 Zumo, who on six hours notice last year, played 00:01:28.430 --> 00:01:31.430 their sets in Australia. Yeah. And crushed it, 00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:33.909 dude. He'd done such a good job. So Frank Zumo, 00:01:33.969 --> 00:01:36.129 the drummer from Sum 41, has come over and they're 00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:38.969 like, hey, mate, we really meshed well last year. 00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:41.909 Will you come and do the European Festival tour 00:01:41.909 --> 00:01:43.349 with us? And he's like, you know what? Fucking 00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:49.849 yeah, let's go. Yeah. They do select a vlog every 00:01:49.849 --> 00:01:53.459 time they do one of these big tours. And just 00:01:53.459 --> 00:01:56.620 seeing Frank Zuma having such a good time, man, 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:01.120 is so good. And it just warms your heart. And 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.659 they recently did a cover of Still Waiting by 00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:06.079 Sum 41, Frank Zuma being the drummer for Sum 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.259 41. And honestly, man, they killed it. Yeah, 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.159 I have heard good things about it. Yeah, knocked 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.280 it out of the park. Would I have rather seen 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.580 him do Newts? Yeah, I like Newts. I reckon that's 00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:19.379 probably one of the better songs anyway. Yeah. 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.069 And it was on Fantastic Four. Speaking about 00:02:22.069 --> 00:02:25.590 Electric Callboy and when they come out last 00:02:25.590 --> 00:02:27.770 year, have you seen the lineup for good things? 00:02:28.229 --> 00:02:30.889 Didn't faze me, man. Like if I wanted to go and 00:02:30.889 --> 00:02:33.949 spend the last three hours of the day watching 00:02:33.949 --> 00:02:38.069 Tool, I would. Any other ban on that? No. Really? 00:02:38.229 --> 00:02:42.550 No. No, I'm going. Gay. Yeah. Me, Lingy, Trot, 00:02:42.610 --> 00:02:45.909 Partridge. What are you going to watch? Kublai 00:02:45.909 --> 00:02:49.789 Kai, Knock Loose, Weezer. I'll say Weezer. Crap. 00:02:50.739 --> 00:02:52.719 Tool. I've never seen Tool live before. Whoa. 00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:55.479 Okay. I'll hang around for that. I respect that. 00:02:56.379 --> 00:03:01.719 I would go just for Tool. Any chance to see Maynard, 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.580 I would, but I'm not going to spend $200 plus 00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:11.379 to see 45 minutes of – and let's face it, if 00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:13.039 you wanted to watch Tool, you could watch them 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.219 at home because you don't see the band. Yeah, 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.560 I've heard that about them. You don't see the 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.139 band. The band plays in shadow. Their visuals 00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:23.680 are what you go for. Yeah. And that's what happens. 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.520 I'll be interested to see Gua. I've never seen 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.580 Gua live before. Dude, okay. Yeah. I hate their 00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:33.900 music, but I like their aesthetic. Yeah, yeah. 00:03:34.580 --> 00:03:36.860 I'm not there for the music. I'll be there for 00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:41.120 the show. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I don't know. 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.759 This will be the first good things I've been 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.759 to. Oh, is it really? Yeah, I just didn't mesh 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.800 with the lineups in the past. They're a little 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.419 bit too pop punk -ish. In my opinion. They've 00:03:51.419 --> 00:03:56.060 learned heavier this year. Really? Mm -hmm. Heavier 00:03:56.060 --> 00:04:00.060 this year? Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Last year, 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.860 we had Korn. Mm -hmm. Electric Callboy. Yeah. 00:04:07.139 --> 00:04:10.919 Northlane. Yeah. The Leafsinger Smashing Pumpkins. 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.900 Yeah. Still heavier. God, yes. Tool. That's it. 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.129 No. It's the only band of worth. On this draw. 00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:23.449 Kublai Kai. Who? Kublai Khan, sorry. Kublai Kai, 00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:25.310 that's a fucking TV. That's a show on YouTube, 00:04:25.589 --> 00:04:29.490 motherfucker. Kublai Khan, Knocked Loose, two 00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:31.569 of the heavy bands. Make Them Suffer does pretty 00:04:31.569 --> 00:04:36.329 good. Yeah, and, like, I mean, Tool's pretty 00:04:36.329 --> 00:04:41.470 big. They're not heavier, but, you know. Yeah, 00:04:41.529 --> 00:04:43.670 there's other bands I want to check out. I don't 00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:46.470 know. What are they? Heavy Metal? No, the death 00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:48.610 metal. Death metal, there you go. So that's heavier. 00:04:49.670 --> 00:04:52.269 What are you writing, you dickhead? I'm writing 00:04:52.269 --> 00:05:00.589 heaps. That's what I wrote. I can't see it. Can 00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:02.769 you? No. You'll see it when you edit. Mm -hmm. 00:05:03.730 --> 00:05:05.209 That's all I've got to say about that. Right. 00:05:07.110 --> 00:05:09.529 No, this year is shit compared to last year. 00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:13.810 Sure. Yeah, I know. Okay. I believe you. Just 00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:16.889 going to leave it there. Did you see that they're 00:05:16.889 --> 00:05:24.629 bringing back, not stereosonic, but it's the 00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:28.910 same vein of stereosonic called hypersonic, I 00:05:28.910 --> 00:05:31.129 think it's called. Coming back to Australia, 00:05:31.209 --> 00:05:35.490 it's more like an EDM festival. Of late, I've 00:05:35.490 --> 00:05:38.550 really gotten into EDM, whether it's because 00:05:38.550 --> 00:05:40.649 I get stoned and listen to EDM, I don't know. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.180 I'd really love to go see Defcon or a Tomorrowland. 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.139 Speaking of Tomorrowland, Paris Hilton played 00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:54.560 at Tomorrowland. Do you know how much she charged 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.759 for her 45 -minute set at Tomorrowland? Big bucks. 00:05:57.779 --> 00:06:01.160 Say it. I don't know. I just remember it being 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.120 big bucks. For 45 minutes work, $800 ,000 US. 00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:11.480 $800 ,000. Considering she charged $175 ,000 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.860 just for her to show up at one of your parties, 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.620 $800 ,000 for her to sit there and have fun for 00:06:17.620 --> 00:06:21.540 45 minutes is insane. Yeah. I've never listened 00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:23.579 to one of her sets. I don't even know if she's 00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:26.579 any good. Do you want my honest opinion? I'm 00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:32.660 not a DJ or EDM connoisseur of such. She's pretty 00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:35.959 good, man. That's the worst part. She's pretty 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.170 good. I have heard that she's gotten a lot better 00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:42.430 than when she started. But whether that's good 00:06:42.430 --> 00:06:44.829 or whether that's just mediocre compared to what 00:06:44.829 --> 00:06:47.250 she started with, I don't know. Considering she's 00:06:47.250 --> 00:06:50.930 famous for being a ditzy bitch and blowing somebody. 00:06:51.670 --> 00:06:54.930 Which is all an act. It's all pretend. If you 00:06:54.930 --> 00:06:57.050 watch her TV show, man, she's smart as fuck. 00:06:57.389 --> 00:06:59.430 Yeah, apparently. Yeah, super smart. Like, super 00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:02.610 smart. And that whole, oh my God, it's so hot. 00:07:03.209 --> 00:07:06.319 Yeah. It's just a character. And apparently none 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.480 of her money is her parents. It's all her. She's 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.079 made it all from a BJ video and just kept on 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.000 growing. Yeah. Well, you know, good for her. 00:07:15.139 --> 00:07:17.259 Girl's got to hustle. Yeah, hustle as shit ever, 00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:20.439 bro. Look, if I could make millions of dollars 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:23.540 from blowing a dude, I probably would. I don't 00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:27.079 have millions, but. Guys, Patreon link down below 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.120 if you'd like to see me blow Jeremy. Jesus Christ. 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.139 That's pretty funny. $400 ,000 is where we started. 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.300 So crowdfund it to $400 ,000 and then I'll blow 00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:41.399 him. You want a clip of all shit, motherfucker? 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.639 It's funny. You mention OnlyFans and TikTok does 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.279 not rate it at all. Yeah, right. Like it did 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.660 that. Reel did like fucking 1 ,200 views or something. 00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:56.699 Which one? What reel was that? The OnlyFans Patreon 00:07:56.699 --> 00:08:00.100 about farting and shit. Oh, really? Yeah, didn't 00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:04.620 really do much on Instagram, but like on TikTok, 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.680 one view. That's it for like 12 hours. Oh, shit. 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.240 I just deleted it because they don't like you 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.420 promoting that type of stuff. Ah, they don't 00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:19.699 like promoting other websites. Yeah, man, just 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:23.060 navigating the social medias is such a funny 00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:26.720 thing. I went for six months without social media 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.480 last year. So peaceful. So peaceful, man. Yeah, 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:34.000 well, I mean, I dropped fucking Facebook for 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.139 three years and when it fucking marketplaces, 00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:39.720 the only thing that brought me back for that. 00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:42.000 Dude, that's the only thing I missed. Yeah, and 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.000 then it's like Facebook's dead. And we spoke 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.679 about this before, the dead in their theory. 00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:55.720 You ever look now, I don't know the exact, exact 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.159 number, but I'm going to throw a number out there. 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.340 Like 89, 90 % of everything that's on there now 00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:07.759 is advertising, is all AI. It's just AI. Yeah. 00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:11.580 Like even you could pick, I was sitting down 00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:13.950 with VH last night and I was watching. watching 00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:17.889 Facebook, and there was this thing about a spray 00:09:17.889 --> 00:09:21.350 for men that are balding. And you could tell. 00:09:21.389 --> 00:09:24.169 It was going over the dome like this with a spray 00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:27.750 can to give the effect of hair. But you could 00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:31.070 see the head morphing every time that hand passed 00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:33.750 in front of the camera. And I'm like, that's 00:09:33.750 --> 00:09:39.190 fucking AI. And you can tell. Remember when Facebook 00:09:39.190 --> 00:09:41.970 used to be you go on there to see what your friends 00:09:41.970 --> 00:09:44.940 had? Bro, good luck finding your friends on there 00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:46.919 now, man. Your friends will be saying some dumb 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.059 ass shit and half the time you'd have a giggle 00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:51.919 at it or they'd be talking about some injustice 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.759 that's happened in their little lives and you'd 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.240 be like, oh, that's kind of fucked up, whatever. 00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.440 But now it's just fucking this, that, this, that, 00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:01.440 this, that, and you might get something from 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.120 somebody you know, but they're posting like 20 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:06.799 things a day. Yeah. But even then, sometimes 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.519 it could be an accidental refresh of that feed. 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.899 Good luck finding that again. Fucking good luck, 00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:15.759 dude. You're not going to find that again. You're 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.039 not going to find that post from your friend 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.960 again because there's going to be 7 ,000 posts 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.820 from someone trying to sell you some course on 00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:29.919 online trading or, oh, you're fat. Here, come 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.179 and join the fucking weight loss program. Yeah. 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.419 Fucking social media is a fickle beast. It's 00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:37.700 not social media anymore. It's basically what 00:10:37.700 --> 00:10:39.860 can we sell you and what can we make while we're 00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:42.019 sitting at home with an AI bot doing all of our 00:10:42.019 --> 00:10:44.919 shit. Yeah, the advertisement feed. Basically 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:49.059 what it is. It's late night shopping on fucking 00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:53.059 free -to -air TV just in your phone, in your 00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:59.230 face. And this is just me saying this. If they 00:10:59.230 --> 00:11:02.029 released an app that was just Facebook Marketplace 00:11:02.029 --> 00:11:04.590 that you could access without having a Facebook, 00:11:04.830 --> 00:11:08.309 I guarantee you probably 70 % of people would 00:11:08.309 --> 00:11:11.769 sign up just for that. Well, I mean, fucking 00:11:11.769 --> 00:11:13.750 Gumtree was that here for ages. Yeah, it was 00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:16.009 Gumtree. It's no good anymore. It's just old 00:11:16.009 --> 00:11:18.370 people posting fucking shit that never sells. 00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:21.870 I've got 30 sets of spoons sitting at home. It's 00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:25.049 been on my wall since I was 10. My old girl got 00:11:25.049 --> 00:11:30.029 them from Holland. $6. Yeah, unfortunately, Facebook 00:11:30.029 --> 00:11:32.950 Marketplace is the place to be for stuff. It 00:11:32.950 --> 00:11:37.149 is. And I used to be the person that goes to 00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:39.809 eBay to purchase something if I couldn't find 00:11:39.809 --> 00:11:42.690 it. But now, yeah, it's Facebook Marketplace. 00:11:43.049 --> 00:11:45.330 eBay is just like fucking Amazon these days. 00:11:45.409 --> 00:11:47.629 You just go there to buy new stuff, not secondhand 00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:49.370 shit. Exactly right. It's just people selling 00:11:49.370 --> 00:11:51.029 brand new stuff. It used to be a place where 00:11:51.029 --> 00:11:52.570 you'd advertise your shit that you had in your 00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:56.710 shed for nothing. Now, man, it's not. Good luck. 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:00.059 It's a retailer. Yeah. Not a fucking second hand 00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:03.220 marketplace. I had another young bloke the other 00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:06.419 day and I just purchased a new tats old chair 00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:10.120 for my tattooing. And to purchase this chair 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:16.379 on, let's say, ProTat, after shipping, you're 00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:18.919 probably looking around $4 ,800 for this chair 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.200 to be delivered. You're spending probably $600 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.960 just on shipping. It was $3 ,750 or something. 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.360 For the chair on its own. Yeah. I just got this 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:36.360 chair. Another tattoo artist has gone through 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.860 a bit of shit time and they signed at least 12 00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:44.799 months ago. Last month they got a notification 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.840 from their landlord saying, hey, sorry, our building 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.700 insurance has gone up $16 ,000, $17 ,000. We 00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.340 need you to cover that. If you can't cover that, 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.559 we're going to have to ask you to move on. We'll 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:57.269 cancel your tenancy. No, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:12:57.350 --> 00:13:00.110 blah. Now, mind you, he's just gone out and spent 00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:05.149 $60 ,000, $70 ,000 on a fit -out. He's just spent 00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:12.549 $5 ,000, $6 ,000 on your bond, all that sort 00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:15.750 of shit. He's just gone out and done his advertising. 00:13:15.809 --> 00:13:17.549 He's done all that sort of stuff for his landlord 00:13:17.549 --> 00:13:19.289 to come and go, hang on a minute, mate, sorry, 00:13:19.370 --> 00:13:24.409 we need you to cover this exorbitant amount of 00:13:24.409 --> 00:13:27.580 insurance. Now, mind you, with the tattoo industry, 00:13:27.820 --> 00:13:31.940 there's two companies worldwide that do insurance 00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:34.139 for building insurance for a tattoo shop, right? 00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:39.539 They're both owned by the same company. Our insurance, 00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:42.200 when we went from the shoebox down there to here, 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:46.399 went up something stupid like $17 ,000, $18 ,000. 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:53.210 That's moving a kilometre up the road and… Our 00:13:53.210 --> 00:13:55.509 building. Now, mind you, our building insurance, 00:13:55.789 --> 00:13:58.710 we have to pay insurance on part of the building 00:13:58.710 --> 00:14:01.769 that we don't even use. I could only imagine 00:14:01.769 --> 00:14:03.970 how it feels for one person to go out, start 00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:08.169 their dream, go, yes, finally, I've worked my 00:14:08.169 --> 00:14:11.230 entire life to get this. And then for a person 00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:13.909 behind a desk to go, hang on a minute, in 1998 00:14:13.909 --> 00:14:17.870 and 2004, we had a couple of firebombings, so 00:14:17.870 --> 00:14:19.710 we're going to put the insurance up and we're 00:14:19.710 --> 00:14:21.649 going to have it so that we're the only two companies 00:14:21.649 --> 00:14:24.669 in the world, that offer you a building insurance 00:14:24.669 --> 00:14:27.590 and we're going to fucking put them premiums 00:14:27.590 --> 00:14:32.470 through the roof, man. I know, now this is not, 00:14:32.629 --> 00:14:34.929 I've been in the tattoo industry for 25 years. 00:14:37.110 --> 00:14:42.169 To have in the last year, I know of five people, 00:14:42.309 --> 00:14:45.830 one of these shops, man, was around for 25 years 00:14:45.830 --> 00:14:48.250 as long as I've been tattooing and they've had 00:14:48.250 --> 00:14:50.230 to close their doors because of insurance policies. 00:14:50.529 --> 00:14:54.600 Wow, man. There's a whole thing with this whole 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.480 sled and the Australian government trying to 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:01.399 clamp down on the tattoo industry. So they've 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.000 basically, if you've got a criminal record, you 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.759 can't have a tattoo shop. If you're in a bike 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.919 club, you can't have a tattoo shop. If you've 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.120 done anything wrong in your life, you cannot 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.799 own a tattoo shop. I do not have a criminal record. 00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:18.039 I've done some shit in my past. Yeah, I don't 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.240 have a criminal record. My family was in a bike 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.220 club. They denied me a tattooer's license for 00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:30.120 four years, dude. I had to pay over $25 ,000 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.679 during court fees, days off, all that sort of 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.720 shit to get my tattooer's license. And they still 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.220 put the insurance up that fucking price. There's 00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:42.039 people out there that are putting in their whole 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:47.039 life savings to have their dream for a real estate 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.039 agent to come through and say, listen. Unless 00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:51.460 you want to cover this stupid fee, you can't 00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:59.679 have your dream. Man. Unfortunately, this country 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:04.980 is – something's going on. Oh! You broke it. 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.759 My pen! So – Don't you stand there. Get the rest. 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.620 Where is it? I don't know. I hit the deck somewhere. 00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:14.340 Don't worry. I fixed it. That might be it. I 00:16:14.340 --> 00:16:18.019 fixed it. Oh, cool. So like this country is kind 00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:21.259 of built on the back of our natural resources 00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:25.419 being coal basically. But we've gotten to the 00:16:25.419 --> 00:16:28.539 point where, okay, we're not allowed to do that 00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:35.860 anymore. Nope. Fair enough. Like it's shit, but 00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:39.399 like that is the backbone of our economy. It 00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.360 really is. Yeah. So that would allow us to have 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:48.039 the money to put into our economy, spend on other 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.539 things, keep other things afloat throughout our 00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:52.779 economy. Yeah. Well, now they're fucking saying 00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:54.620 that, you know, we're not having that. We're 00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:56.659 not having coal -fired power stations. We've 00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:59.820 got five left. And every year we're talking about 00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:02.259 fucking closing more down despite the fact that 00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:05.380 places like China are putting five in a month. 00:17:08.109 --> 00:17:10.109 It's counterproductive. We could be doing all 00:17:10.109 --> 00:17:12.210 the best stuff in the world, but if there's another 00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:14.190 country that if we shut five down, they open 00:17:14.190 --> 00:17:16.269 five up, then what's the point? All we're doing. 00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:18.630 Because they're not a part of the European Union 00:17:18.630 --> 00:17:21.950 or whatever it is that kind of, you know. Right. 00:17:23.930 --> 00:17:26.950 Whatever. But we cannot put in nuclear either 00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:32.130 because that's fucking a no -no. We're losing 00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:34.650 out on all this kind of industry that is kind 00:17:34.650 --> 00:17:38.839 of supporting us. holding up Australia to kind 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.200 of support smaller businesses and stuff like 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:46.240 that. And, you know, we've got an influx of people 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.019 coming in with no real skills or if they do have 00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:54.240 skills to put into manual labour. We just don't 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.380 have the manual labour there. Like we don't have 00:17:56.380 --> 00:18:01.420 the business for it. Okay, so where do we go 00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:05.299 from there? Like there's – and it's just – The 00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:09.180 fact that they're making it like real estate 00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:11.859 is fucked at the moment. Oh, so much, man. That 00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:15.559 so many people can own so much real estate. Yeah. 00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:21.960 And like monopolies on towns. Yeah. And does 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.319 not allow people to, like you, be able to buy 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.519 their own premises. Yeah. Run their own business, 00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:34.240 get in front. It's just people. And it seems 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.619 fucking crooked that people who get these premises 00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:42.799 across their desks are allowed to fucking purchase 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.900 these places when there's a, what's it called, 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:54.980 a thing of interest. What's that called? They 00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:57.079 shouldn't be allowed to buy those things because 00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.299 it's their business. They work in it. Oh, fuck. 00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:05.289 Conflict of interest. Conflict of interest. Thank 00:19:05.289 --> 00:19:08.089 you. Yes. There's a conflict of interest. If 00:19:08.089 --> 00:19:09.670 you work in real estate, you probably shouldn't 00:19:09.670 --> 00:19:12.269 be able to buy real estate. No. Because you obviously, 00:19:12.549 --> 00:19:16.410 you can fucking tweak the system. 100%. Yeah. 00:19:16.769 --> 00:19:21.809 So like this town is owned by a lot of the place, 00:19:21.849 --> 00:19:24.410 is owned by like two, maybe three people. The 00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:27.190 person that owns this building owns 75 properties 00:19:27.190 --> 00:19:30.410 in the Hunter Valley. Mm -hmm. And then you've 00:19:30.410 --> 00:19:33.319 got. People that own 75 properties in the Hunter 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.000 Valley, maybe 20 % of them are buildings that 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.440 aren't even occupied. Correct. Because it's a 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.960 tax write -off. Yes, sir. So you've got people 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.920 who want to expand businesses, want to be in 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.700 places and open shops, but won't because the 00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:55.440 people that own it don't want to spend the money 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.089 to maintain the property. they'd rather leave 00:19:59.089 --> 00:20:01.430 it vacant as a tax write -off. Yeah. There's 00:20:01.430 --> 00:20:04.890 this whole kind of run -on effect where we're 00:20:04.890 --> 00:20:08.029 losing one. Did you break another one? Shit, 00:20:08.049 --> 00:20:11.789 same pen. Fucking hell. We're losing this whole 00:20:11.789 --> 00:20:15.930 big chunk, like the coal. We don't have steel 00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:18.750 here anymore, man. We're making fuck all steel 00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:22.869 here anymore. And when Newcastle used to make 00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:24.910 some of the best steel in the world. Yeah, man. 00:20:25.369 --> 00:20:28.349 Everyone used to buy metal from BHP. Yeah. And, 00:20:28.430 --> 00:20:31.210 like, we used our own coal. Now we sell it to 00:20:31.210 --> 00:20:34.190 China only to buy fucking steel back from them. 00:20:34.349 --> 00:20:37.190 That's a shit of grade. Shit of quality. Fucking 00:20:37.190 --> 00:20:39.410 right. And they're using our coal at, like, a 00:20:39.410 --> 00:20:42.109 dollar to the ton to fucking smelt the shit. 00:20:42.329 --> 00:20:45.009 Like, why aren't we doing that shit here and 00:20:45.009 --> 00:20:48.329 selling it to the world as, like, a top quality 00:20:48.329 --> 00:20:51.170 grade fucking product? 100%, dude. You're not 00:20:51.170 --> 00:20:53.269 wrong at all. Like I work in the metalworking 00:20:53.269 --> 00:20:55.690 industry and it's just getting smaller and smaller 00:20:55.690 --> 00:20:58.089 and the pool's getting smaller. People are moving 00:20:58.089 --> 00:21:00.309 out of the industries to do other things. And 00:21:00.309 --> 00:21:04.049 the whole system, it feels like it's going to 00:21:04.049 --> 00:21:07.029 collapse at some point because it seems like 00:21:07.029 --> 00:21:09.369 they don't want us in this manufacturing anymore. 00:21:10.289 --> 00:21:13.289 But we don't have anywhere else to go to. At 00:21:13.289 --> 00:21:17.190 all. Because people have too many properties. 00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:21.140 Well, in saying that, how we're moving out of 00:21:21.140 --> 00:21:23.480 that sort of thing, back when I first started, 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:26.420 when I was going through my license and I was 00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:28.740 going to court to get my tattooer's license again, 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.400 they're like, no, your family's in the outlaw 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:36.859 motorcycle club. I'm not. I've never broken the 00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:39.799 law. I have broken the law. I don't have a criminal 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:42.779 record. I'm not going to say I don't break the 00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:44.500 law because I'm a human. I make mistakes and 00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:46.819 I have broken the law before. I don't have a 00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:51.700 criminal record. My behavior has dictated that 00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:53.359 I have no criminal record, but you're going to 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.759 dictate whether I can or can't provide for my 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.039 family because of what other people have done 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.059 that share the same last name as me. So I changed 00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:07.859 my last name. I've become this whole, all I want 00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:10.000 to do is provide for my family. I've done tattooing 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.400 for 25 years to the point where I've got my face 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.059 tattooed, my neck tattooed, my hands tattooed, 00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:15.839 my knuckles tattooed. Everywhere is tattooed. 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.380 When they were going to put me through court, 00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:20.980 they're like, sorry, we're not going to give 00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:23.039 you a tattoo license. Mate, this whole aesthetic 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.579 that I have is because all I ever wanted to do 00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:29.140 all my life is tattoo. It's the industry. It's 00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:31.460 not the lifestyle. That's right. All I've wanted 00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:34.839 to do was tattoo my whole life. For you to sit 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:36.720 there and say that I can't do what I want to 00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.559 do now, what am I meant to do looking like this? 00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:43.619 What other job are they going to give me a job 00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:46.420 in an office somewhere? No. Can I be a real estate 00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:49.680 agent? Can I be a car salesman? No. No one's 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.099 going to give me a job looking the way I do. 00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:53.660 No one's going to give me a job speaking the 00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:55.799 way I do. Every second word I say is a fucking 00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:01.779 expletive. Like every single thing I do has been 00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:04.539 toward being a tattooist and being a good one 00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:07.359 and doing the best that I possibly can. So for 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:09.220 someone that sits behind a desk to come back 00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:12.000 and say, no, you can't do this because of something 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.079 that your family has done in the past and their 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:18.579 choices, such a kick in the teeth. And now when 00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:22.420 we went to look at buying a building in Cessnock, 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.539 so me and Rachel were looking at buying a smaller 00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:31.019 building in Cessnock and it said auction. Okay, 00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:32.779 no worries. I'll contact the real estate. I said, 00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:37.180 listen, I want to know. When this is going to 00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:39.480 auction, is it going to sell prior to auction? 00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:41.119 If it does sell prior to auction, I'd like to 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.059 make an offer. Sorry, no, it's being put up for 00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:46.599 auction, so it's got to stay at auction. Okay, 00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:49.859 no worries. Every week I'd hit them up. Okay, 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:51.900 I just want you to let you know that I'm going 00:23:51.900 --> 00:23:54.299 to be at the auction. This is our offer. This 00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:56.000 is what we've got to offer. Now, what we're going 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.880 to offer is above and beyond what they were advertising 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.980 for the auction to start at. Okay, no worries. 00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.869 When it comes time. It was like six days out, 00:24:05.930 --> 00:24:09.309 six or seven days out from auction. And it went 00:24:09.309 --> 00:24:12.690 up sold. And I messaged the real estate. I said, 00:24:12.730 --> 00:24:15.930 listen, what's the go? I was prepared to make 00:24:15.930 --> 00:24:18.970 an offer. I was prepared to offer more than what 00:24:18.970 --> 00:24:21.210 they wanted. I was prepared to go to the auction 00:24:21.210 --> 00:24:24.069 and offer more than what they wanted. Why is 00:24:24.069 --> 00:24:26.329 it that you wouldn't sell it to me, but you sell 00:24:26.329 --> 00:24:29.589 it prior to auction to someone else? I find out 00:24:29.589 --> 00:24:31.269 through the grapevine that it was the fucking 00:24:31.269 --> 00:24:34.329 real estate agent that sold it, that bought it 00:24:34.329 --> 00:24:37.690 prior to auction. There's got to be a conflict 00:24:37.690 --> 00:24:39.849 of interest. There has to be, dude. It has to 00:24:39.849 --> 00:24:43.769 be. You literally cannot say no to somebody else 00:24:43.769 --> 00:24:47.410 and then undercut them and make an offer to the 00:24:47.410 --> 00:24:49.250 other. Yeah, when it profits you. So wrong. When 00:24:49.250 --> 00:24:53.490 it's your job. So wrong. Man. The old buds would 00:24:53.490 --> 00:24:56.009 probably like to know about that. Exactly. Yeah. 00:24:56.230 --> 00:25:00.079 But, you know. We're still out here paying absorbent 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:04.619 rent every month when all we want to do is get 00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:07.539 ahead and do a better life for our children so 00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:09.039 that they're not fucking dragging their knuckles 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:14.059 along the ground. Yeah, 100%. But no. And that 00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:17.500 was like you, me, Branchie, Uncle Dave, Brett, 00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:20.740 we've all talked about the same thing, getting 00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:23.500 a block of land, dividing it up and having us 00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:26.460 all on the one block of land. Yeah. I inquired 00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:27.799 about a block of land the other day that was 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.900 103 acres. And I'm like, okay, I want to go in 00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:36.700 this with four of my best friends. Okay, no worries. 00:25:36.859 --> 00:25:39.380 I inquired about a syndicate, inquired about 00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:43.180 having us all go in, buying a whole block of 00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:47.440 land and then subdividing. Sorry, you can't do 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:52.490 that. Why not? Because it's zoned RU3. All right, 00:25:52.509 --> 00:25:54.950 no worries. You've zoned at RU3. How do we go 00:25:54.950 --> 00:25:57.470 about subdividing that into four equal blocks 00:25:57.470 --> 00:26:01.069 of land? It's going to cost you around $180 ,000. 00:26:01.430 --> 00:26:08.750 Right. Okay. So if I had the $180 ,000 there, 00:26:08.910 --> 00:26:11.130 we could subdivide that and turn that into a 00:26:11.130 --> 00:26:13.930 compound of such. It's not going to be a compound. 00:26:13.990 --> 00:26:16.609 We're not going to be a cult. Compound for lack 00:26:16.609 --> 00:26:21.069 of a better word. They're like, okay. So we could 00:26:21.069 --> 00:26:22.730 do that, but it could be three or four years, 00:26:22.829 --> 00:26:24.650 blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, so how do I 00:26:24.650 --> 00:26:26.349 expedite this? And they go, well, if you had 00:26:26.349 --> 00:26:28.450 this much capital, you had this much to start 00:26:28.450 --> 00:26:31.150 with, I could say three months you could have 00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:32.789 a subdividing thing. And I'm like, and how much 00:26:32.789 --> 00:26:36.130 would that cost? She literally said to me, 350 00:26:36.130 --> 00:26:42.329 grand. So if I was a multimillionaire already, 00:26:42.569 --> 00:26:46.210 I could buy that for 500 ,000, subdivide it, 00:26:46.250 --> 00:26:49.009 and then sell it for 500 ,000 per quarter acre 00:26:49.009 --> 00:26:51.140 block. which is what they've just done with the 00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:55.299 paddock at Abermain. For a 2 ,000 -square -metre 00:26:55.299 --> 00:27:00.720 block at Abermain, it's $970 ,000. Oh, man. It's 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.700 fucking wild that, you know, if you've got – 00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:06.579 it's not even if you've got money. If you've 00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:09.039 got property, if you've had enough to kind of 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.480 start off and get a property and then you lend 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.559 and you get more and then you lend and you get 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:17.839 more. It's literally lending power based on what 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.299 you have. I don't know if they're hoping for 00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:23.259 you to fail, but the more you have, the more 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.460 they're willing to give you. And it's stupid 00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:27.660 because there's that many people out there that 00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:32.920 want to buy. Yeah. I don't understand it. Well, 00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:35.799 I think I shared it to our group chat the other 00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:39.519 day, and I ended up tagging you on branch unit. 00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:45.059 I'm like, hey, are yous ready? It was 38 acres 00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:47.000 at Abermain. Yeah, it has a river running through 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:48.779 it, the creek running through it. Yeah. And I'm 00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:53.160 like, you know. Let's go quarters, boys. But 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:58.039 at the same time, dude, it's like I would, and 00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:00.160 I've said this before, and it's a fucking fact 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:02.000 because we have our kids play together and shit, 00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:04.660 but I would trust my kids to you, Branchie, Brett, 00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:10.619 and Dave. And that's the way it is. That's reality. 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.240 I don't have a close family thing for myself, 00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:19.900 but I've chosen this family that. that include 00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:22.880 my kids, that want to be around my kids, that, 00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:25.319 you know, whenever they're around, they're the 00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.339 most important people in the world. And that's 00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:31.539 what I want to be around more. Yeah, 100%. I 00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:35.019 want to – I shared a clip to you and the boys 00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:37.880 the other night about a ranch in America where 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.380 it's just a whole family and they've built around 00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:42.819 this 100 -acre block and their kids are at home 00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:44.259 one night and they go, oh, we heard a noise. 00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:47.309 And then they call their – They're the people 00:28:47.309 --> 00:28:49.190 in the compound and they all rock up on these 00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:52.970 golf carts and these side -by -sides. That's 00:28:52.970 --> 00:28:54.609 what I want, man. Like I want to be able to, 00:28:54.750 --> 00:28:58.130 oh, Dad, can I go down and play with Little Stretch? 00:28:58.450 --> 00:29:00.549 Yeah, sweet, man. Get on your dirt bike and go 00:29:00.549 --> 00:29:02.329 for a ride down to Little Stretch's place. Yeah. 00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:05.710 Well, you have lights on your back pagoda kind 00:29:05.710 --> 00:29:07.589 of. Turn them on. If you turn them on, that's 00:29:07.589 --> 00:29:10.450 fucking go time for anybody else to come up with 00:29:10.450 --> 00:29:13.539 if they want. And then have a massive shed in 00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:15.259 the middle where we can all go on. There's a 00:29:15.259 --> 00:29:17.079 pool table there. There's a ping pong table. 00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:20.259 There's a barbecue. Dude, it would be so good. 00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:25.480 The dream. The dream. But it's getting further 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.900 and further away with fucking how much shit is 00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:31.980 costing these days. Yeah. They've got to put 00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:34.900 a limit on the amount of properties that people 00:29:34.900 --> 00:29:36.839 can buy. There has to be a limit on that because 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:42.240 it's just crazy. I was seeing. With all this 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.380 fucking talk about this fucking rally that's 00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:47.240 going to be happening and like, you know, fucking 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.700 racist and whatever. Yep. It's pretty fucking 00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:52.859 crazy and like hopefully it's not another fucking 00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:59.220 Cronulla fucking bullshit. Yeah. But they talk 00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:03.640 about how, I think it was like 2023 to 2024, 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.500 how we had over 500 ,000 people immigrate to 00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:11.150 Australia. And we're not talking illegal immigrants. 00:30:11.230 --> 00:30:14.769 We're not talking. Yeah. We're talking like Americans, 00:30:15.150 --> 00:30:18.329 Englishmen. Yeah. We're talking about everybody. 00:30:18.650 --> 00:30:20.509 There's nothing racist about it. They're coming 00:30:20.509 --> 00:30:22.089 out here. They're working. They're doing whatever. 00:30:22.190 --> 00:30:25.170 They want to make a life out here. Exactly. Perfectly 00:30:25.170 --> 00:30:29.269 fine. Like 500 ,000. So you have that maybe they're 00:30:29.269 --> 00:30:31.470 coming out as couples. That's 250 ,000 people. 00:30:31.809 --> 00:30:36.460 Yep. That year you have. So on average, people 00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.859 buying homes these days in Australia, as Australian 00:30:38.859 --> 00:30:43.039 citizens, are anywhere between 35 and 38. Years. 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.700 That's how old they are. Right. And usually as 00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:50.700 couples. So you've had 250 ,000 couples potentially 00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:54.099 moving into the country. You've had, I think 00:30:54.099 --> 00:30:59.400 it was like 160 ,000 people wanting to buy homes 00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:02.650 that were already Australian citizens. And they 00:31:02.650 --> 00:31:05.750 were projecting to build 250 ,000 homes that 00:31:05.750 --> 00:31:09.190 year. So that's 410 ,000 people with 250 ,000 00:31:09.190 --> 00:31:13.670 homes. But only built 130 ,000. Oh, for fuck's 00:31:13.670 --> 00:31:17.690 sake. And there's our housing crisis. So I don't 00:31:17.690 --> 00:31:20.750 know how many people died that year to sell houses, 00:31:20.890 --> 00:31:24.390 but I don't see it being that big a number. But 00:31:24.390 --> 00:31:28.130 there's just no wonder, like, so my neighbour's 00:31:28.130 --> 00:31:31.069 house? The one that you sold, yep. Just sold. 00:31:31.170 --> 00:31:36.339 Yep. Dated as fuck. Yep. They built it. They 00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:39.500 lived in it up until they died. Right. Never 00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:44.900 did anything to it. Wonderful people. Gone. Dated 00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:50.099 old house. Just a big yacht. $700 ,000. Went 00:31:50.099 --> 00:31:53.920 to market. First day, gone. Sight unseen to somebody 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:58.539 from Sydney. Of course. Yeah. Let me guess. Subdivide? 00:31:59.099 --> 00:32:01.160 Two doors down. The exact same thing happened. 00:32:01.630 --> 00:32:04.109 They subdivided it. It's got a house in the backyard. 00:32:04.130 --> 00:32:05.910 It hasn't sold yet. I mean, yeah, it's a couple 00:32:05.910 --> 00:32:08.009 from Sydney. A couple from Sydney. Of course 00:32:08.009 --> 00:32:12.569 it is. Okay, this will give you the thing. Why 00:32:12.569 --> 00:32:14.230 does there need to be billionaires in the world? 00:32:15.509 --> 00:32:18.250 Now, everybody knows about the millionaire, billionaire, 00:32:18.369 --> 00:32:22.029 trillionaire, right? So a million seconds, 12 00:32:22.029 --> 00:32:26.170 days. Okay, millionaire, everybody should be 00:32:26.170 --> 00:32:29.309 a millionaire. It's just the way it is. A billion 00:32:29.309 --> 00:32:34.400 seconds? 32 years. It's stupid, yeah. And a trillion? 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:42.160 A trillion? Fuck off. 31 ,700 years. 31 ,700 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.019 years. There's 11 trillionaires in the world. 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:50.819 Why? Why? Yeah. Why does there need to be, why 00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:55.039 do you need to have $100 billion ever? I saw 00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:57.940 an interview with Dan Bilzerian the other day. 00:32:58.019 --> 00:33:01.359 Oh, okay. Fucking knobhead. Yeah, what? Yeah, 00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:03.420 but he's talking about how he's got all this 00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:06.440 money and how money isn't the thing that makes 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.400 him happy. He said he'll buy a brand new Lamborghini 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.480 and he'll get joy from it from the first two 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.819 days. After that, it's just another car. He said 00:33:15.819 --> 00:33:21.299 it's hanging out with his friends, surfing, wakeboarding, 00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:25.000 chilling out. That makes him happy. So despite 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.319 the fact that he is, I don't care about that. 00:33:29.660 --> 00:33:31.720 It's just the fact that money doesn't make you 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.519 happy. It's hanging out with people. When do 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:37.440 you get time to hang out with people? I don't 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.079 because I'm fucking trying to work. Why are you 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.500 trying to work? For money. Exactly. Why are you 00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:45.119 trying to get money? To feed my family. Exactly 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.980 fucking right. We don't have time to go out and 00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:52.640 surf of an afternoon. We don't have time to. 00:33:53.049 --> 00:33:55.910 To get us to go out for dinner, it takes us, 00:33:55.930 --> 00:33:58.609 what, three weeks? Three weeks of trying to organise 00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:02.509 it. To pin down one day. Yeah. See, that's what 00:34:02.509 --> 00:34:05.109 money makes you happy. It's not the money. It's 00:34:05.109 --> 00:34:06.509 not the money. It's the time. It's the freedom 00:34:06.509 --> 00:34:11.030 and the time to do these things. It's taken us 00:34:11.030 --> 00:34:14.710 three weeks to get five men to be able to figure 00:34:14.710 --> 00:34:20.030 out one night to have dinner. Three weeks, dude. 00:34:20.829 --> 00:34:23.269 Sit down, shut the fuck up. You think, oh, money 00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:27.070 doesn't make you happy. No, but it gives you 00:34:27.070 --> 00:34:30.150 the freedom to be happy. If we're at work 10, 00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:33.429 12 hours a day and then when we're not at work, 00:34:33.469 --> 00:34:37.929 we're trying to make our children good and wholesome 00:34:37.929 --> 00:34:42.170 and happy members of society, you've got no time. 00:34:42.789 --> 00:34:46.550 You don't have freedom. No. And when you're at 00:34:46.550 --> 00:34:48.489 home and you're trying to be the best possible 00:34:48.489 --> 00:34:54.619 dad you can be, You're fucked because you've 00:34:54.619 --> 00:34:57.639 been working 10 to 12 hours a day. Well, the 00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.079 worst part is this 40 -hour work week is apparently 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.719 based on a time when everybody had in -home fucking 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.760 maids and fucking butlers and shit. Here's another 00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.599 thing. Everyone wants to stay at home, Mum. We 00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:16.860 can't fucking afford that these days, dude. We 00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:21.679 can't. You know more than most. We've done it. 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.519 But my house is run down to shit. How hard is 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.239 it, bud? Yeah. How hard is that? It ain't fucking 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:29.500 easy. It's not easy. No. You're having to pick 00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:32.420 up every overtime shift you can possibly get. 00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:35.199 Yeah. And that's not even just you. And second 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:38.239 jobs. That's every other person at your workplace 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.300 trying to get overtime shift because they need 00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:45.239 it as well. It doesn't – fuck you and anyone 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.639 that says money doesn't make you happy. Yeah. 00:35:48.699 --> 00:35:51.280 Maybe it doesn't, but it affords you the freedom 00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:58.019 and that time to make happy, to be happy. Yeah. 00:35:58.179 --> 00:36:02.380 No, fuck off. I just don't think people should 00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:04.579 make money at the expense of others when it comes 00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:08.039 to real estate. No, not at all. If you've got 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.860 an idea that makes money, all the power to you, 00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:14.079 you deserve it. But if all you're doing is fucking 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:18.699 mongering over fucking property and then… Making 00:36:18.699 --> 00:36:21.400 people pay exorbitant prices for rent. Yeah. 00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:25.179 Fuck you. And the thing that comes down to it 00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:31.099 too, like if you, okay, so 105 acres, you get 00:36:31.099 --> 00:36:34.800 a building permit regardless. Yep. 104 acres, 00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:37.780 sorry, you've got to go through council to get 00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:43.099 that building permit. Yeah. I don't want to see 00:36:43.099 --> 00:36:46.039 you zoning shit. If I buy 100 acres, I want to 00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:50.650 be able to. divide that 100 acres into 52 -acre 00:36:50.650 --> 00:36:55.130 blocks to give to my friends, to help them, to 00:36:55.130 --> 00:36:58.030 give their – our children, bro, are never going 00:36:58.030 --> 00:36:59.769 to be able to buy a property at the rate we're 00:36:59.769 --> 00:37:02.849 going. No. I want to be able to buy 100 acres 00:37:02.849 --> 00:37:06.570 and give two acres to Landy Man, give two acres 00:37:06.570 --> 00:37:08.809 to Thea, give two acres to Remy and David, give 00:37:08.809 --> 00:37:13.190 two acres to Logan and just shut the fuck up 00:37:13.190 --> 00:37:15.469 and let me do what I want with my 105 acres. 00:37:15.610 --> 00:37:18.789 Yeah. Don't tell me what I want to do. I'm not 00:37:18.789 --> 00:37:21.570 going to put a crack den on it. I'm not going 00:37:21.570 --> 00:37:24.210 to put a dog fighting ring on it. Yep. Maybe. 00:37:24.829 --> 00:37:30.969 But, yeah, I want my kids and my brother's kids 00:37:30.969 --> 00:37:34.550 to do well. Yep. So one of the fellas I work 00:37:34.550 --> 00:37:36.809 with, he's talking about extending his house 00:37:36.809 --> 00:37:40.570 at the moment. He lives in Hamilton. No, not 00:37:40.570 --> 00:37:45.349 Hamilton. Adamstown. Adamstown. Mm -hmm. Whopping 00:37:45.349 --> 00:37:47.630 big shed on his fucking property, big double 00:37:47.630 --> 00:37:50.489 brick joint. Ridiculous. House that he's been 00:37:50.489 --> 00:37:52.510 in, he renovated when he moved in. He's been 00:37:52.510 --> 00:37:56.050 there for fucking 30 -odd years, whatever. Owns 00:37:56.050 --> 00:38:00.309 it pretty much. So he's talking about extending 00:38:00.309 --> 00:38:04.269 it. Okay, fair enough. So he's talking to all 00:38:04.269 --> 00:38:06.469 these planners and stuff. They're like, oh, you've 00:38:06.469 --> 00:38:10.929 got a land to landscape ratio that you've got 00:38:10.929 --> 00:38:15.940 to comply with? So. He's a wog, so he's got plenty 00:38:15.940 --> 00:38:17.840 of concrete, and they're saying that you've got 00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.079 fuck all grass. Basically, you need to do something 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:24.619 about that to be able to extend. He's like, well, 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:27.519 hang on. What about two doors down where it's 00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:29.300 the same size property, but they've just put 00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:33.460 fucking eight units on it, and there's like garden 00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:36.179 beds? No grass. Oh, well, you know, we've got 00:38:36.179 --> 00:38:40.500 inner city living. We've got more people living 00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:47.230 on that area. where you buy, you own, you do 00:38:47.230 --> 00:38:49.630 what you think you need to do to provide for 00:38:49.630 --> 00:38:53.369 your family, but you can't do what you want with 00:38:53.369 --> 00:38:58.309 that space because you want your own parcel. 00:38:59.489 --> 00:39:03.050 There's only fucking five of you there, but we 00:39:03.050 --> 00:39:08.389 can get 16 people in this same spot living on 00:39:08.389 --> 00:39:11.789 top of each other, and it's okay. for them to 00:39:11.789 --> 00:39:16.190 have concrete from front to back. That's so ridiculous, 00:39:16.369 --> 00:39:19.449 dude. The standard is stupid. But that was like 00:39:19.449 --> 00:39:21.389 Joel and Robin when they owned their house out 00:39:21.389 --> 00:39:24.530 at Abernethy. And they're like, okay, you've 00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:28.090 got a half acre block. I think it might have 00:39:28.090 --> 00:39:31.210 been half acre. And they're like, but because 00:39:31.210 --> 00:39:33.269 yous aren't on town water, yous don't have town 00:39:33.269 --> 00:39:36.309 septic, we need you to have a certain amount 00:39:36.309 --> 00:39:42.460 of grass in that backyard to be. So when you 00:39:42.460 --> 00:39:43.960 have your washing machine, you have the sprinklers 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.239 that go down the back for your grey water. Yeah. 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:54.460 Grey water. The house next door had none of that 00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:57.219 grass area, but because it had been there for 00:39:57.219 --> 00:40:02.119 over five years, it didn't matter. Yeah. So. 00:40:02.219 --> 00:40:05.059 Fucking why? My mate from work, he was told, 00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:07.400 if you pull up all your concrete, you can extend 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.650 that house. And then put the concrete in later 00:40:10.650 --> 00:40:16.449 because you don't need DA approval. The double 00:40:16.449 --> 00:40:19.789 standards. It all just comes down to money. Yeah. 00:40:20.650 --> 00:40:23.469 If you've got the money to break the law and 00:40:23.469 --> 00:40:25.130 you've got the money to pay the fines, then you 00:40:25.130 --> 00:40:28.190 can do whatever the fuck you want. Ridiculous. 00:40:28.349 --> 00:40:33.150 Yeah. Yeah. It's a fucked up type of world we 00:40:33.150 --> 00:40:36.090 live in. Yeah. At the end of the day, we've got 00:40:36.090 --> 00:40:38.599 friends out of Paxton. who literally have 105 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:43.139 acres, and they have very, very, very, very openly 00:40:43.139 --> 00:40:45.760 said that they would sell every one of us five 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:48.840 acres, which would barely put a dent in it. It 00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:51.019 would actually make their land a lot easier to 00:40:51.019 --> 00:40:54.500 manage. Yeah, to maintain, yeah. But the council 00:40:54.500 --> 00:41:00.199 won't say yes. Fucking what? Yeah. It's their 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.780 land. They paid for it. Because they're going 00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:08.539 to profit from it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But even 00:41:08.539 --> 00:41:11.059 Em and Dave said, dude, we'll give you an acre 00:41:11.059 --> 00:41:13.960 down the back. You give us what we paid for the 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:15.539 land and you can have it. Well, how much did 00:41:15.539 --> 00:41:19.019 you pay for the land? They said $275. $275 for 00:41:19.019 --> 00:41:21.019 an acre? That's unheard of around these parts. 00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:26.380 Good luck. I would dead set pay $275 for that 00:41:26.380 --> 00:41:29.280 acre out there, hand over fist, because that's 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:33.179 a smart investment. Again, council won't let 00:41:33.179 --> 00:41:38.570 them do it. But. But if you've got a 700 -acre 00:41:38.570 --> 00:41:41.929 square metre, if you've got a 700 -square metre 00:41:41.929 --> 00:41:45.150 block, you can subdivide that and put three houses 00:41:45.150 --> 00:41:49.210 on it. Why? Fucking figure that one out. But 00:41:49.210 --> 00:41:51.369 if you've got 100 acres, we can't let you subdivide, 00:41:51.369 --> 00:41:53.949 mate. But people do it all the fucking time. 00:41:54.070 --> 00:41:55.829 I drive past them. If you've got millions of 00:41:55.829 --> 00:41:57.849 dollars, it's easy to do. I drive past it every 00:41:57.849 --> 00:42:00.949 afternoon, like places out towards Ginger's Lane 00:42:00.949 --> 00:42:03.800 and fucking. where they're constantly expanding 00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:06.780 in all that used to be farmland. Yes, sir. Between 00:42:06.780 --> 00:42:11.119 here and Newcastle. Out here at Bellbird, we're 00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:16.820 on Wollombi Road. The other day it took Foxy, 00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:20.920 it took her 55 minutes to get to Woolworths and 00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:24.539 back. That's a five -kilometre round trip. This 00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:28.719 one stretch of road every day is so much traffic. 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.920 From here. out to Millfield, they're putting 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.940 in 3 ,000 houses on one stretch of road. There's 00:42:37.940 --> 00:42:40.840 supposed to be something like 20 ,000 homes projected 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.519 to come out here within the next five to 10 years. 00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:47.820 But you can't put six houses on 105 acres. Fuck 00:42:47.820 --> 00:42:54.360 you. Fuck you. Yeah. It doesn't make sense. No. 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:57.039 But if you've got millions of dollars, everybody, 00:42:57.260 --> 00:43:01.780 you can make millions more. We just need, you 00:43:01.780 --> 00:43:03.840 know what you should do. Make us millionaires. 00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:06.500 Make us millionaires. And we'll buy us all a 00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:10.559 block of land. We'll try. We'll give you free 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.599 stickers or something. Yeah, we'll give you some 00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:17.099 stickers and a high five. Yeah, that's our fucking 00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:20.000 week of misery from Prevailing Strange. Welcome. 00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:25.139 Yeah, pretty fucking woeful. We're sorry. But 00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:27.019 we talk about anything here. This is Renton Sundry. 00:43:27.300 --> 00:43:30.769 It is. This is it. This is the rant. This is 00:43:30.769 --> 00:43:32.809 the rant. And now we're going to go out and cry 00:43:32.809 --> 00:43:34.829 ourselves into a sundry. I'm going to go feed 00:43:34.829 --> 00:43:37.969 my family. Yeah. I'm probably going to get pizza 00:43:37.969 --> 00:43:39.710 on the way through. I think that's what I'm going 00:43:39.710 --> 00:43:42.789 to do too. If he's there. He wasn't there last 00:43:42.789 --> 00:43:44.010 week, which is a surprise. Yeah, you stitched 00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:46.489 me up. I'm sorry. I can't believe you walked 00:43:46.489 --> 00:43:49.670 around, you dog. Yeah. That's all we've got time 00:43:49.670 --> 00:43:51.710 for today, guys. Please like, comment, subscribe. 00:43:51.869 --> 00:43:53.469 Do all those things. We really want to start 00:43:53.469 --> 00:43:55.469 doing like a live stream on YouTube one time. 00:43:55.550 --> 00:43:58.969 We've got to get 100 subscribers. Get us up there. 00:43:59.550 --> 00:44:01.969 Honestly, if years have lasted this long to the 00:44:01.969 --> 00:44:04.610 end of the episode, if there's anything you like, 00:44:04.769 --> 00:44:09.969 we really kind of would like the feedback. We're 00:44:09.969 --> 00:44:11.730 still pretty new to this thing, even though it's 00:44:11.730 --> 00:44:14.389 six months in. Six months, man. To tell you the 00:44:14.389 --> 00:44:15.969 truth, we don't really know if I can do them, 00:44:15.989 --> 00:44:17.769 but, you know, if we could make something of 00:44:17.769 --> 00:44:19.429 this, we would love to make something of this. 00:44:19.690 --> 00:44:22.949 At the end of the day, of a Friday afternoon, 00:44:23.050 --> 00:44:25.809 this is what I look forward to. This is probably 00:44:25.809 --> 00:44:28.489 my favourite part of the week. Yeah, it's our 00:44:28.489 --> 00:44:31.050 fucking wind down for the end of the week. If 00:44:31.050 --> 00:44:34.010 we can make it something that can be something 00:44:34.010 --> 00:44:36.369 that you guys enjoy, we would like to do that 00:44:36.369 --> 00:44:39.769 too. Yeah, because we enjoy it enough. Like if 00:44:39.769 --> 00:44:41.449 none of you is tuned in, we're still having a 00:44:41.449 --> 00:44:43.809 ball. But, yeah, we'd really like to hear from 00:44:43.809 --> 00:44:47.070 you guys. Yeah, we're still here. Yeah. I did 00:44:47.070 --> 00:44:50.250 have – I've had to step away from the sugar -free 00:44:50.250 --> 00:44:53.269 drinks and I basically just polished off half 00:44:53.269 --> 00:44:58.460 a bottle of this stuff. That's not bad. Dublin, 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:02.699 whiskey, and honey. Give it a try. Anyway, we'll 00:45:02.699 --> 00:45:06.059 see you Monday. Love, peace, chicken grease. Bye.
