About this episode
Fuel prices and practical 4WD upkeep take center stage, starting with a “tough dog tip” to inspect suspension before winter wet season and to clean/under-spray for mud and salt. The crew then breaks down Australia’s fuel excise cut (halved per-litre tax) and debates broader fuel-supply concerns, price gouging, and even fuel theft. Listener voice notes share real fill-up pain and trip cancellations. The lighter thread: a “potty patrol” concept—turning a shared, modified Patrol into a podcast camera/trip vehicle.
Topics:
suspension checks before wet season
winter mud and salt corrosion prevention
fuel excise tax cut explained
fuel price impact and budgeting
fuel supply reserve and shortage rumors
price gouging enforcement
fuel theft and locking fuel caps
trip planning under high fuel costs
shared vehicle idea for podcasting (potty patrol)
buying a used 4wd and avoiding lemons
This week on The 4WD Podcast, the federal government just halved the fuel excise and we break down what that actually means at the bowser. Plus your winter suspension checklist courtesy of Tough Dog, and Duggo floats the idea of buying a Podcast Patrol.

Which is pretty cool.
139.
So be specific.
OK, well they've been with us that whole time.
Tirepower, Tough Dog, The Big Dogs.
Thank you very much for helping us out here.
62 and WA?
Yeah.
Mostly owned and operated.
Still going?
Just a little bit.
We're just a little push every now and then.
How am I, J-Dog back?
Not eaten today, you've told me.
Nah, haven't eaten, but that's right, mate.
Got my full plus.
You do?
Not sponsored by Full Plus anymore?
No, but that was a quick run, but still got some in the fridge, obviously.
Oh, I still got a few in the fridge.
There, go on quick, though.
Why haven't you eaten today?
Oh, just been busy, mate.
Flat off.
Flat off.
Flat off the feet?
Run off the feet is what I was going to say, and then I said flat off.
See how the brains start to shut down a little bit?
I think I'm just stupid.
Anyway, I haven't had a meal yet today, but I will.
Time recording.
PM.
PM.
Obviously.
Well.
And, mate, you've got to feel the body.
I know.
You've got to feel the body for a day like yours.
I know.
You've got footage going tonight?
Nah, Tuesdays, Thursdays.
Okay.
Yep.
But injured my thumb, so I'm...
Have you?
Yeah.
What have you done?
Oh.
Where's it been?
Where's it been?
Hey.
All right.
A bit early to get into that, isn't it?
Jesus.
How's your thumb?
Nah, just jotted it up, playing cricket, and then rucking, playing footy.
It just got bent back a bit, and now it's just a bit bruised, a bit swollen.
You cannot say it.
You can.
There's nothing.
It's fine.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just...
Saw.
Yeah, real saw.
I'm going to saw a finger at the moment.
Hard to...
Saw a digit.
Oh.
How'd you do that one, mate?
Nah, footy as well.
Okay.
Yeah, footy as well.
Cool.
Are you ankle as well?
Ankle's a bit sore.
Yeah?
Yeah, ankle's a bit sore.
Yeah.
Trying it out for this week.
Because you've had a good couple of weeks, mate.
It's been all right.
I've seen the boys.
It's been all right.
Top 10.
Well, yeah.
Playing finals at the moment, mate.
We're down.
We're down.
No, we've had a good couple of weeks.
It's been good fun.
Back on the winners list for a couple.
Yeah.
You remember how to sing the song?
Yes.
Fortunately, I have experienced some successful periods in our time.
But yeah, it's good for the boys.
Yeah.
Everyone up and about then?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But mature about it.
No, it's not like it doesn't just happen.
But it's better than losing.
I'll tell you that much.
Oh, yeah.
Better than losing.
Yep.
So it's been good.
But so anything that feels sore is a little bit less sore when you win.
I'll tell you that much.
Yeah.
Something about it.
Haven't had enough wins.
Okay.
I haven't.
Your season about to start?
Yeah, a few weeks away.
Who are you playing for, by the way?
Kingsley.
Kingsley this year.
I did not.
Not pure our waters.
Kingsley football club.
Good club.
Good group of boys.
Down there.
What grade are you in?
C2.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, nothing high, mate.
That's all right.
Just an average footballer.
Probably below average, actually.
Elite podcaster though.
Elite podcaster, mate.
In the A grade for podcaster.
As are you, mate.
Being in the A grade for podcasting and for footy.
Look at you.
Technically, it's the A grade, I suppose, isn't it?
Yeah.
Well, you can't get much higher.
No.
Should we?
I feel like this is getting well too far away from what we're going to be talking about.
Yeah, I think so, mate.
Hey.
But you're just checking in.
I am just checking in.
I am just checking in.
Ronnie Awai.
This time he's not that busy.
He's actually on holidays.
Yeah, Singapore.
Yeah.
I haven't seen the big man in a long time.
I'm trying to think of the last time I saw him.
He had the Chris Hemsworth haircut.
So he's Awai actually having a break.
He's been using that as well, the big fella.
Has he?
The Chris Hemsworth.
Yeah, I know he's staying on one of the highest floors you can get in the hotel he's in.
I reckon he's leaning into the other lighting.
Hey, is that Chris Hemsworth?
Getting a few photos over there.
Could be.
Yeah, nice.
Could be Chris.
Nice.
No, that's good.
He's actually, he's on a break, which is great, I think.
He is.
Yeah.
Get a little early season rest.
He'll be back.
Tough job.
Actually, I'm not going to make you do it this week.
No, it's fine.
I'd like to, I was going to say I'd like to hear your crack on it.
Nah.
I'd love, there, come on.
Nah.
No, no, no, give it a crack.
Is this what you say?
What it says here?
Pretty much, yeah.
So, tough dog tip of the week.
Tough dog do, nah, it's not, nah.
You're too quiet.
It's not there.
Too quiet.
Tough dog tip of the week.
Tough dog tip of the week.
Nah, it's cool.
It's, my voice is too.
Nah, your voice is good.
You got it.
You got it.
Tough dog?
Nah, I'm too quiet again.
All right, how about,
Tough dog tip of the week.
Tough dog tip of the week.
I'm just going to say it's a quality tip from a quality fella in Jaden.
Tough dog tip of the week.
Check your suspension for wear before heading into, heading into your tracks for winter.
Because obviously we're coming into the wet season.
Months of, it's just getting cooler.
Now's the perfect time to get under the car while it's still hot, not wet.
And just check your suspension.
Make sure that, you know, there's no cracks.
It's not sagging.
There's no leaks or anything like that.
That it's all good.
There's no oil coming out of places.
There shouldn't be oil coming out of, and just make sure that all the bushes and everything are good.
So just get under your car.
Have a look at your suspension.
Yep.
Make sure that it is quality suspension.
And yeah, be on your way.
So make sure it's a tough dog.
Make sure it's a tough dog suspension.
I don't understand suspension much.
And I'll just let it sort of go.
Obviously I know when it doesn't look right and it doesn't sound right.
Yep.
So you're saying like clunk over a bump, squeaking.
Yeah, you can hear it.
Oh, you can hear when your suspension's bad.
It tells you it's the same way as brakes squeaking, squealing when they're getting low.
Yeah, your suspension will creak and crack and that's when you know.
And your ride generally will tell you that your suspension is due for a change
because it'll be a bit firmer, a bit stiffer ride.
You go on over speed bumps and you're like, whoa.
Cardi missed a feel like that.
Yeah.
It is a good time of year to try because it will start to cool down.
The tracks, if you are going out, become a little bit muddier,
harder to drive sometimes depending on the line you're taking.
Asking a bit more in your car.
Asking a little bit more.
I mean, even in summer in Australia with the heat that we get,
your suspension goes through so much.
So you kind of want to be checking it twice a year,
maybe at the start of summer or the end of summer
and the start of winter or the end of winter depending on what you're doing.
But just give it a look.
Make sure that it's not too hot.
I mean, because we were checking on the Gumbara Highway,
we were checking our suspension a fair bit because of the corrugations you go over.
They compress and then decompress and they get really, really hot.
Yeah, exactly.
So you just want to make sure that they're good, still safe.
They're not too hot.
They're not making weird noises.
They're not cracked.
You've got the seals and everything is still good.
Your bushes, just make sure it's all good.
It's probably a good time to give the car a good clean as well.
Yeah.
It's a beaking off.
Always a good time to give your car a clean.
There's never a bad time to give your car a good clean.
No, there's not.
If you are one of those ones that loves to hit the tracks in the winter,
in the southern parts of Australia, that is,
maybe just if you give your car a clean now,
it might look like that for a while.
No.
It's probably not going to look like that for a while.
And sometimes, you know, you should be looking after that.
If you're hitting hard mud quite a bit,
you're probably one of those people that are giving it a good spray underneath
when you do.
Maybe, like, get underneath and give it a good spray.
Like, just, you might as well before you go and attack another winter.
If you're one of those people that love attacking those tracks in the mud.
100%.
Even if you're beach driving, you need to be cleaning your car.
The salt will do so much damage to your car
if you don't take care of it at the right time.
That is, my car's got a lot of surface rust underneath it
because it came from two rocks.
So just over the hills from the beach, so you'd get the salt air.
Just the wind blows it up, doesn't it?
Exactly.
Right, mate.
The wind blows it up and you get that rust underneath.
100%.
The car's closer to the beach.
Definitely cop it more.
You have to.
If you're not protected, like in a garage or...
Even if you're not driving it on the beach,
but you live near a beach and your car's parked outside,
you're going to get...
You see it on the houses.
Yeah, you see it on the houses.
You're going to get salty water coming across
and that's just not what you want.
The sea mist just comes on in and sinks in.
The sea mist.
It's not good.
The sea mist.
Wow.
I like that little tip.
It's just...
I don't know.
That's a good tip for any time of the year,
but I suppose, yeah.
100%.
I think it's just a good reminder to go get under your car.
Check your suspension.
Make sure it's all good.
Have a look.
Yeah.
I guess if you don't know what you're looking for,
it's going to be hard.
You should be looking at it going,
oh, okay.
But just the obvious things,
like have a look at cracks,
any seals that have, you know...
Yeah.
Start to wear down.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Moisture wear.
Yeah.
Or even take it in.
Take it into a store.
Type-R can have a look at it.
Yeah.
Like there's plenty of great mechanics
around Perth and WA
that you can take your car in
and have a look at.
Just get an inspection.
Yeah.
Get a service.
AGD for Toyota owners are really,
really good.
Cool.
Speaking of.
Speaking of.
They're great.
Moving on to on the radar quickly.
Yeah.
It's a topical thing
and we probably need to cover off on it again
because there's more...
Every day there's something going on
in the fuel world.
Yeah.
So I filled up the other day.
I filled up.
I put $100 in.
I went from fuel light on.
So I was getting low.
The range was telling me
I had 50 kilometres left of range.
Put $100 in.
Got to just above a quarter of a tank.
Just above.
Paid $3.19 for it in Perth.
Per litre.
Yeah. Per litre.
That's crazy.
And then...
I hate that.
I hate that fuel is so expensive
because as soon as fuel goes expensive
you start to realise like,
oh, I've got a really budget
for things here.
Fuel price has gone up
from $1.40,
$30,
$50-ish depending on where you are
to now $3.15,
$20.
That's...
That's a significant jump.
Yeah.
It's pretty wild.
I don't think I've noticed a
drop in cars on the road though just yet.
I don't think I've noticed that.
No. Definitely not.
I think people are still purchasing it.
Anyway, the reason we're going to bring it up today
is because from today,
day of recording,
which will be two days prior to this being released,
they have cut the tax on fuel in half.
Yes.
Which will,
us as customers, consumers,
will benefit a little bit from that tax cut.
Yeah.
So the fuel excise,
there's a tax that the
federal government charges
on every liter of fuel that gets sold in Australia.
That's petrol, diesel, whatever.
It's built into the servo price.
So the price at the Bowser
has that fuel excise tax in it.
Prior to today,
that was $0.52.6 a litre.
It's now $0.26.3 a litre.
So it's been halved, which is a litre.
You're not going to see those effects immediately,
like as of today, April 1st.
Fuck, I hope it's not on April Fool's prank.
Surely.
That would be...
No.
That would be an all-time stitch up from the government.
That would be absolute uproar.
Bloody federal government.
Big stitch up.
Be a good one by then, boys.
Boys, we're halving the fuel excise.
That would actually be
a massive got you by then.
April Fool's boys.
If the government did that.
Back out.
No, it wouldn't.
No, you wouldn't.
So, fuck you to hope.
You swore.
You can just cut it.
I'm actually so flat about that.
I made it 18 minutes and I didn't do it.
And then I just did it.
So yeah, it used to sit at $0.52.6 a litre.
It's now $0.26.3 a litre.
And that just means that
basically you're paying tax.
That doesn't include the GST that you pay
on top of, at the end of your fill up.
So at the end of, in all your purchases,
Australia just includes GST on to everything.
In America, you have to add tax
onto the marketed price of your item.
But this is a good thing, right?
We will see the fuel price drop a little bit.
You should roughly save about $20
on a standard 65 litre tank with this excise,
which is great.
That's already doing something to help out Australians.
Again, you won't see the effects of this immediately.
It will take a little bit of time to get to the bowser.
But yeah, you'll see the effects of that.
So hopefully in the next week or two,
because the fuel at the bowser is still being taxed
on the old excise.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know what to believe with our fuel.
But with all of it going on,
I'm hearing that it's still 28 days of storage in storage.
Just can't.
It's 28 days now?
No, I saw something like a day ago that said that.
And I was like, well, we recorded a week ago
and that was the number it gave us as well.
I just don't know where or like,
because then I've heard it so many people
and especially in the trucking community,
this is more like a news sort of broadcast saying like,
they 100% don't think that there's any truth
to what they're telling us in the fact that they can't,
like, you know, they reckon they're almost completely out
and they're just like, they're not running trucks anymore
because the prices are too expensive,
but they reckon they're actually nowhere near telling us the truth.
And I'm like, oh, I don't know.
Who do you, I mean, we're not,
we're at the moment apart from the price that we're paying.
We're not like everywhere I go, there's fuel at the moment.
Like I haven't gone past a server yet in Perth that's lacking.
And I know they said they would city areas
and probably look after themselves a little bit more,
but I just, yeah.
You know, the other part that's going on is people are stealing.
Stealing.
People are stealing.
People are stealing fuel.
I'm feeling up and just driving off.
And I heard some of the,
in this similar articles, trucking community
are thinking about locking,
like they're actually locking up their...
Trucks.
Or the carriages.
No, sorry.
The word I'm looking for, I've had a blank.
Like you're actually...
No, like your fuel cap.
Oh, right.
Okay, sorry.
Locking those.
Like on a car, you can, if it's locked,
but they're like probably going to lock them up
so they can't be at night and stuff like that.
They can't be...
Trucks.
Yeah.
Because trucks...
Well, that's what some companies were thinking about.
Trucks aren't...
They don't have the flap.
They're not hidden by anything.
They're just in the open.
I'm going to shoot.
I don't know.
I don't know exactly how.
I don't feel the truck up, but...
I thought they were already locked.
Like mine's not behind the flap.
You need the key to unlock it, but mine's not behind.
Yeah, yours isn't behind the metal or anything.
Yeah, okay.
So, but yours is locked anyway.
You need a key to get into it.
You do need a key, but like that's...
Yeah, so I don't know how a truck works.
I thought that was just standard practice across the...
Across the board.
Well, maybe.
Not sure.
I don't know why though.
Maybe it is easier to access because the trucking...
This...
You know, these people were like...
Our company's thinking about locking up our fuel caps.
Yeah, right.
The stealing fuel's interesting though.
Yeah, like...
Because like personally...
Fuck yeah.
Yeah, the people.
It's...
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Well...
I'm just like, yeah, yeah.
Fucking nice.
It's kind of...
What's at the moment, dude?
Oh, I get it.
Yeah, like I even...
I did not want to...
I didn't...
Yeah, I didn't put a full tank in.
No, I can't.
I got to 100 bucks.
And then like it's...
It's just one of the...
It's almost like the principle of it.
Yeah.
I just don't...
I can't.
Oh, like...
I filled up.
I can't remember how many litres it was now.
But at three...
Three dollars, 19 cents.
You can do the math.
I'm just...
I'm not gonna be able to do it right here.
Yeah.
Well, look, I don't think...
I don't think you should be stealing fuel.
By any means, you shouldn't be stealing fuel.
No.
The way you word it...
But also...
But also at the same time, like...
You know?
You know?
The fuel price is so crazy, man.
It wasn't a four-wheel drive to stealing it.
Yeah.
Because the diesel is more.
Diesel's way more.
Petrol's bad, but diesel's worse.
Diesel is worse.
So...
Well, hopefully this fuel excise...
Hopefully this fuel excise, like halving the tax is gonna help out.
Yeah.
People haven't just started stealing fuel because of the prices.
People are stealing fuel before the prices anyway.
They won't.
Well, it's not a new thing.
Probably makes more of a...
It makes more sense now.
Yeah.
At the moment, I'm more compassionate about it than I am.
I doubt it's happening a lot.
I doubt it's happening.
You just don't get away with it.
There's too many cameras.
Very hard to.
You think it's hard to.
You just get away with stealing fuel.
You're just gonna get caught down the track.
Yeah, you get done.
But I haven't heard either...
I haven't seen any fuel caps.
Like, as in, you can only spend 40 bucks.
I've heard that happening.
No, I haven't seen it.
I haven't come across that.
I haven't witnessed it.
But yeah, I have heard a bit about it.
It's actually happening.
I think mostly rural places and independent servos out there are doing that.
40 bucks a fuel only gets you to the next town.
Yeah, well, it must be for people of that town.
So you can just kind of drive around, come back to your 40 litres when you run out.
I don't know how that's working specifically, but I have heard that as well.
The other thing the government's doing...
So we've actually released 20% of our emergency fuel reserves to regional areas of Australia.
That's good.
There is a couple of things for truckies that have helped them kind of maintain lifestyle
a little bit.
Like, they're not being charged to use the road or anything like that, apparently.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like the heavy vehicle road user charge, reduced to zero for three months.
They're kind of balancing it out.
Balancing it out a little bit.
The ACCC are ramping up price gouging monitoring.
So you're getting on the spot fines for price gouging from service stations and that kind
of stuff, which we talked about last week.
And then along with the relaxing of fuel standards across the board, which again is a scary sounding
word, but isn't actually...
There's no harm in any of that.
And we've got a fuel supply agreement with Singapore now.
Do we?
Yep.
So we've secured a deal with Singapore to get some more fuel.
Yeah, right.
Do you know, apparently we've got oil underground in plenty of places.
Not...
Well...
I don't know.
Yeah.
I saw the politicians speaking about it yesterday and they're like, if it was easily accessible
and cheap to pull out, then we would have been doing it.
So...
It's all...
It's all cost.
Yeah.
It's all cost, right?
Like $4 billion or something like that.
I can't remember what the number was last week, but it was $4 billion to build the required
infrastructure to be able to store and refined fuel here in Australia.
Right.
Is that one plant?
Like one...
No, it would be multiple plants.
Oh, okay.
It would just be so that we can hit that 90 day...
That 90 day...
Ah, gotcha.
Yeah, yeah.
The minimum...
There was all the independence too coming out saying, like, we need to be self-sufficient.
Like, why has this not been a thing before?
Like, or, you know...
No, well...
Very political.
Yeah, and it is.
And the...
I mean, it's a good question.
Why haven't we?
We're nutrient rich here in Australia.
Yeah.
Like you say, the cost.
Well, that's the answer.
The answer is the cost.
Yeah.
It's so expensive to build that.
Yeah.
And it's not like we have, you know, billions of dollars just sitting around like, oh,
what are we going to use this for?
It's like, it's going towards infrastructure.
It's going towards education.
It's going towards a whole bunch of different things.
But...
A few states over...
Oh, I know Victoria, they're in a lot of debt.
Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of people that are.
And like, if we taxed...
If we taxed companies the right amount that we should be taxing them, we wouldn't have
these issues.
But we're not taxing these corporations the right amount.
Out of my own.
Yeah.
We're not anyway.
We're not.
They're getting away with a lot.
Now, something a little bit more fun.
Now, I've spoken to you about this.
I've spoken to Ronnie about it too, I reckon.
And that's about it.
And I thought, what are we...
We're going on about fuel at the moment.
We're sort of, you know, we haven't been on a trip in a while.
But one of our dreams at this podcast, and I thought we'd just name it and put it out
there for everyone to know that this is a goal of ours, is to have...
Now, I've called it...
I've gone with it and I've gone the Potty Patrol.
Yeah.
Now, that's not like you, Ronnie and I cruising down the street calling ourselves the Potty
Patrol.
Because that's what I thought it was.
Potty Patrol.
Potty Patrol.
It's like the in-betweeners.
Yeah.
Well, we won't say it, but we all know what it is.
The Potty Patrol.
Yeah, the Potty Patrol.
We should get shirts made.
Potty.
Just like the in-betweeners.
But anyway, I thought, like, how cool would it be to have a little...
Not a little, but like...
It can be little.
It's a podcast vehicle where it was like, if we do a trip like the Gumball, or if we
do a trip like a night away on the beach, just north of Perth.
But we can take this little weapon with us.
And my thinking is something like a patrol, because we're very toyota biased on here at
the moment, just because of the cars that we own ourselves.
And I was like, imagine how cool that would be to have, you know, so a patrol, cheap,
reliable, practical, like it's, you know, it makes sense.
They're available.
They're common.
You can get a patrol.
They're parts are everywhere.
Australia love them.
Well-known, reliable vehicle.
And like, but there's some decent ones for not much.
So an old GU or a GQ.
And we just like probably got a store at it.
Ian and Kerry's.
That's the only thing.
Yeah.
And Ian can maintain it for...
He'd love that, I reckon.
But I was like, how cool would it be that we had our own little wit to do podcasts?
That would be cool.
Out of, basically.
Yeah, it would be cool.
It would be out.
It would be...
Now, of course, if we're doing a probably a big long trip, maybe we just take our own
vehicles because we're set up and ready to go.
But it'd be cool, like even if it was like a camera car.
Would love that.
It would be so sick, I reckon.
That is my goal at this podcast to have one day.
And it might be right now.
But I reckon working towards a vehicle would be cool.
I'm open to other vehicles.
The Potty Patrol works because...
Eliteration.
Yes, that word.
So, I don't know, what else could be an option?
Like, I know...
Straight off the dome.
An 80 series.
Yeah, I know.
Just because it's iconic.
I thought about...
Right, like...
Makes a lot of sense.
It does.
It does.
Like, we could go down a ute line if we wanted, like a D-Max, I mean, a Ranger.
Yeah.
Being the most popular car in Australia at the moment.
Maybe a Shark.
We could go on Electric.
Yeah.
It doesn't appeal to me as much.
I mean, it'd be cool.
I am thinking like...
A Tasman for that insane engine sound that it had in the air.
I wonder if that's a real thing.
I'm thinking like a bit more iconic, a bit rough, like rough and ready.
And cheap.
An old Land Rover.
Yeah, something like an old Disco or something.
Like, I reckon that'd be...
Yeah, an old Disco.
That'd be cool.
Like a Delica.
Yeah, Delica would be cool.
Defending me.
Delica.
But I just reckon that would be so sick.
Delica would actually be a good go.
I'd love something too that like the three of us can sit in.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking with the Delica.
We could do a trip out of one car and the three of us go and just like...
You could make so much fun of it.
But I reckon it would be a cool thing to be able to have our own little like vehicle
that's just down the road.
Potty vehicle.
Boys, I'm going away this week.
Can I take the Potty Patrol?
Absolutely, you can, mate.
Get it.
Take the fuel card as well, mate.
Get...
Yeah.
Oh, does that kit...
We'll get one of that.
Oh, mate.
We're going to have to.
We're going to get a bloody car.
What are we doing in this financial crisis?
We're spending money on a bloody Potty Patrol car.
Interesting time to talk about buying a new car.
Interesting time to talk about it.
Between three of us.
I've got some patrols saved in my thing already.
Do you?
Yeah.
I don't know how much you're expecting me to contribute to this.
Did I send these to you?
Well, not much because they're pretty cheap.
No, you didn't.
You didn't send it to me.
Well, you think it even split between you, me and Ronnie?
Yeah, my idea.
I'm going to even split it.
But you get to house it.
I don't want to house it.
How is that a good thing?
Oh, no.
You're family.
I'm just joking about it, yeah.
You're just putting this on Ian and Kerry.
Yeah.
This is the first time hearing about it, by the way, during this podcast.
It is.
No, go on.
Give us an elevator pitch to them on why they should store the car.
I honestly don't think I need a pitch to your parents.
You probably don't, but I'd love to hear it.
Oh, I don't need to.
Oh, no, because I reckon you've got to get past mum.
Kerry won't be happy.
Kerry, I know you've got the space down there.
Kerry, I know you've got the space.
All I'm asking is just, we'll tuck it around the back.
You won't even see it.
You won't see it.
You just, you might not see your husband because he's being, you already didn't work on it
for us.
You will see it if you want to see your husband.
All right, go on.
Check that out.
That sounds like a threat, actually.
No, it's not a threat.
It's not a threat.
Your threat.
You'll see, yeah, you'll see your husband if you want to see the car.
Good idea, though.
It is a good idea.
Check that out.
Okay, that is nice.
It's cool.
That is nice.
And it's not like, between the three of us, it's not horribly expensive.
Oh, a little hood scoop as well.
12, 12, nine.
Yeah.
So like, it's in the wrong state.
Yeah.
It's got half a million kilometers on it.
Yes.
That's what I mean though.
This is like, this thing, it's, it would be part of our, it would be part of our content
too.
I've just read the description from the seller selling my GQ bought it after a recommendation
from a friend, but I like my 80 series better.
Okay.
I might be a bad iron.
Great car for young gun interested in getting out into the bush and camping, et cetera.
That's us.
Or, well, we are young guns.
Or as a second vehicle for tougher trips, you don't want to take the nice full drive
out on.
Okay.
So this is, this is right up here.
It's an RD28 turbo engine, body's rough, but runs and drives.
All right.
GU intake exhaust turbo conversion for the intercooler fitted with a boost T, but set very low for
reliability.
Good.
Good.
Not concerned with trying to race it.
No.
We should race it.
No.
If we get a potty car, we should race it.
We go off.
We should, we should send it and then put it on.
We won't be looking at patrols.
Maybe in Dubai.
Yeah.
That'd be tough, wouldn't it?
Missing a few flares.
That's okay.
We can make those.
Come and see slash drive it before negotiating on price.
So he's open to negotiating.
We can send your old man.
Yep.
Over.
That was why I'd set the.
It's Victoria.
Thanks to car sales.
I set the Victoria and the WA because I've, I've got people.
I'm telling you.
You get him down to 10.
I reckon that's, that's good.
So.
Cause that's what three and three thousand three hundred thirty three dollars each.
It started.
Hang on.
They got a.
It's out of sound.
If it loads.
Come on.
Hang on.
Be with us.
No, that's right.
And you're in time.
It's done half a meal.
Yeah.
It has done half a meal.
500,000 K is a fair bit of case.
It's not loading.
It's a fair bit of case.
Yeah.
But that's what I mean.
Something that we can like.
If it has done them.
We actually.
It's like a bit of a project too.
In a way.
It's not.
It's not.
We're not buying a car off the shelf and going.
Here we go.
Like throw the stuff in the back and off.
You know, knowing that it's.
Brand new.
Like there's going to be some things that we need.
That that is.
What I.
Invision for this.
What.
Potty patrol.
What do you guys want us to get?
What what car would would you as our avid listeners.
Want us to get.
To modify.
Yeah.
And to set up as a.
As our.
Podcast.
Disclaimer.
This is not happening.
Like it would.
I mean, it's an idea that could happen.
But it's also like it's not like we've got it.
It's not immediate.
Yeah.
Tomorrow and get it.
Planning to do in between.
Yeah.
But what like I reckon.
I just.
I think it'd be cool.
I agree.
I reckon we get some.
Get some.
Get some good collaborations around it as well.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Some things.
Maybe.
Maybe per these are performance want to throw in.
A deep reader kid or something.
Sponsors for a car.
Maybe.
You know.
But I.
Want to hit it up.
Set it up with a battery.
So.
Full set up.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
I think though.
Let us know.
Let us know.
Because I'm thinking patrol.
Yeah.
80.
Even as like a 60.
It'd be cool.
It could be pretty far.
I'm spec to like this.
There's not.
Like that.
I want something.
Yeah.
My ideal.
Sort of.
Vision on all of this is a car with a bit of character.
And we don't have a lot to.
We wouldn't have a lot to splash at it.
Yeah.
I'd be happy to part ways with.
If you.
I'm going to ask Ronnie about this.
But if we split it three ways.
Ronnie takes out another loan.
I think it could be a bit of fun.

Not like a lot of channels do.
This would be different.
Like we're.
This isn't like a build series is in like.
We're going to take this car and hit Cape York.
We could.
But like it's more just like.
How good.
It would be fun.
It's so fun.
It's broken down again.
But.
We definitely do it.
We've hired a trailer.
We definitely do it.
We have to do it.
I think we.
We definitely do it.
I'll call Lauren.
You haven't ever run it past the financial advisor.
Yeah.
I have not.
No way.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Give us.
Tell us what you think.
Should we do it?
What should we look at?
What should we be careful of?
Because buying secondhand cars, you know,
we're happy with a bit of a project,
but we don't want an absolute lemon.
Yeah.
Because none of us are really that.
Well, we don't have the time to fix it up.
Yeah.
We don't have the time or the know-how.
A little bit of know-how.
You've done it.
The boys.
Yeah.
But I actually just really like the idea of it.
I think it could be a lot of fun and I'm pretty keen.
I like it.
Yeah.
We just need to pick what car it's going to be and see if it's.
Do we do it?
It's affordable.
What?
Like now?
No.
Like soon?
How soon?
I don't know.
Maybe the four-wheel-drive secondhand market is going to
boost at the moment because everyone might be offloading it.
Could be.
If you see something that is unreal.
It's like too good.
I'll be looking.
Too good to pass up on.
Roddy's on holidays.
He's just getting ding ding.
Car sales.
Car sales.
Car sales.
Car sales.
What is happening?
Anyway, I like it.
Gumtree.
Boys, what's going on?
We get in your car.
Well, yes, Roddy.
We are.
Hand over your money.
Hand it over.
Thanks for paying full price on that one, mate.
Yeah.
You didn't have to shoulder the load, mate.
We just need 12 grand for that.
All right.
Let's go around the fire pit because we've got a bit to get through here.
Not so many questions.
More comments.
Statements around.
Around the fuel.
I want to start with the best one on here.
Go on.
So last known locations.
They ain't having a bit of fun obviously on there.
I don't know if it's fun because it sounds.
It sounds.
Jane's not happy.
I pissed off.
I don't.
Yeah.
No.
I'm furious.
I'm angry.
I might read up.
He's been commenting on or her.
I'm not sure.
He's been commenting on some of their stuff.
Clearly a very upset person at our podcast.
Which is fine.
I do as well, which is why I put the comments in because I think there's a fair bit of truth
in it.
We're no geniuses up here.
We get that.
The first two would be that.
This is what he's mentioned about Jaden's tattoos.
If you're weighing up whether you can afford to drive the V8 diesel 76 series, maybe you'll
just need to scale back on the tattoo so you can afford the fuel.
It's a good point.
I might get it.
It's a good point.
You spent way too much on those.
It's jumper, not sweater.
We're still in Australia, not America yet.
That's true.
I don't know what the next one is.
Zed.
Zed instead of Z.
Like I said, Z once.
That's another America.
Discorrecting.
The truck delivering diesel needs diesel to get there.
Wow, you guys are so smart.
That is technically very true.
Technically true.
It's okay.
People might know a lot more than us.
I think you hit the nail on the head with that one, mate.
I mean, he's not wrong.
No, nothing's wrong.
Which is fine.
Nothing's wrong.
Neither are we.
I think he's lost the point of just general discussion rather than like, I'm not sitting,
we're not sitting here reading out fucking facts to you.
It's the second time.
That's the second time this episode.
First time actually.
You said it.
We're not sitting here going through dot points of facts and reading out boring information
that you can get anywhere.
We're sitting here having a yarn, having a chat between a couple boys.
Right.
Jesus.
Grow up, mate.
Grow up.
I like it.
Good engagement.
You're commenting that garbage, man.
Last time in location.
Jeez.
Anyway.
If you're commenting garbage, go comment someone else.
But actually, no, thank you for the engagement.
Keep commenting.
Keep commenting.
Seriously, Dory, even if it's a shit comment, keep commenting because it's, yeah, it just
keeps boosting us.
It's good.
I'm here for it.
I'm here for it.
Allie has mentioned, I'll just see about, he's going to get, he's going to get me for
this.
Allie has written in.
Yes.
Careful.
Last location might be in your house.
All right.
So this is around the, this is around the, the topic from last week.
So just, just fuel conversation.
And where this takes things and do electric cars become.
Yeah.
It's great.
It'll take a while to bear with me, but it's, it's great.
Yeah.
I know.
Allie sent in her thoughts on that.
So I won't be swapping out, this is Allie.
I won't be swapping out my V6 diesel Navarra for any electric or hybrid four by four.
But dare I say it, I was pretty impressed by the BYD Shark driven by Mad Mat Full Drive
who towed a camper trailer across the Simpson Desert rather effortlessly last year.
Feeling very uncertain about the future of fuel in Australia, full stop, war or no war.
We have three cars, two diesel four by fours and an unleaded city car.
We live up in the Adelaide Hills and are definitely feeling good seeing that.
And are definitely feeling the pain.
Although I work on the eight minutes away from my home and hubby travels fly slash drive
for living at someone else's expense.
So I'm assuming someone else's company's paying for that.
Yeah, the company.
Which has got to be starting to hurt their business.
We had a Simpson Desert trip plan for this coming June and thought at worst,
the weather system was going to determine the viability of that.
But instead, who would have thought a fuel crisis would be the defining factor?
Here we are.
Way too expensive for a four week full driving adventure with towing involved as well.
But we will probably look closer to home and perhaps a shorter time frame to get out and about in June still.
It's still going to be better from a health perspective to be out exploring on a heavily reduced budget
than sitting at home worrying about the future.
What the future holds because it's looking pretty bleak.
I only said to my brother this morning,
I've never lived through a war or a conflict where it has affected me or my way of living until now.
And this is only a fuel crisis.
What becomes of our country when we start having to ration food as well?
Pretty scary.
Long time listener of your podcast from the very beginning, actually.
Love it.
Be even happier if you gave Nissan's a bit more airtime. Fair enough.
Keep up the good work.
And Jayden never stops wearing, mate.
It's an Australian writer passage.
There you go.
Fucking I.
Love that.
Nice.
It's interesting, isn't it?
Like, so Allie and her husband trip plan for the Simpson Desert no longer going ahead.
Fuel crisis for four weeks on the road at desert prices.
If there is fuel there at all.
Not affordable, not feasible for people to just be doing that.
I love the mindset of still getting out and exploring much better than sitting at home.
If you can, you're still going to be paying premium for your fuel at this stage.
Hopefully in June it looks different.
But yeah, I love the mindset of still getting out there.
I think that's what we should all adopt.
I agree.
Rather than putting things off completely if you can, if you financially can.
So it's interesting to hear from someone that is actually like.
Affected.
Affected with a trip plan.
And it's this early in the in the piece that they've had to say no.
I agree.
So thanks, Allie.
No, I agree.
I think it's a really interesting perspective, especially like you say and people who are
going away.
The, I like the outlook of going on a trip just for your health, either mental or physical,
either way.
I think that's a really good shout because you can't be trapped in a city if you're someone
who likes to escape, someone who likes to just go for a four wheel drive or a camp or just
an adventure on a weekend or even a week trip, a two week trip, a month trip, whatever it
is.
If you like to get away and do stuff and that's good for your mental health and that resets
you, whether that's four wheel driving or flying the barley or Indonesia or America or wherever,
wherever you go, just traveling.
I think you need to, you need to find ways to, to keep doing that stuff even when it's
really expensive and isn't probably the best option for you to do.
Ways where you can continue to get out to explore, to have adventures, to have fun, to
kind of reset from the city life that can kind of get overwhelming and especially with
work and all that kind of stuff.
You kind of get into a repetitive motion week in, week out.
So breaking that with a trip, unreal.
So I really like that perspective.
I'd love to know where they're thinking.
A little bit closer to home like Flinders of Ranges to get that, you know, Northern Flinders
of Ranges to get that desert vibe a little bit.
I mean, yeah, SA, we're out like the Riverlands.
Somewhere along the coast, maybe.
Maybe coast trip.
Simpson Desert is like one of those trips that you're probably planning for quite a while.
So feel from there.
It is kind of a bucket list one though.
That one, isn't it?
Interesting that like in a very, in a much broader sense, like, yeah, our lives probably
haven't been affected at all, apart from a fuel price to this war at the moment.
But like, when you think about it, the crux of it all, there's a genuine conflict going
on over there.
We're carrying on a bit about the fuel prices here, but like the genuine people losing lives
and buildings getting blown up over there.
So I kind of, it's a good perspective from Ali, but yeah, it is.
It does.
It can be a lot worse.
It is.
It does.
It does suck that the fuel prices have gone up, but what sucks more is the fact that you
have to, there's people losing their lives and there's a war going on.
That's for a perspective is really good.
That's probably another podcast.
Yeah.
Not ours ever.
Grace Brennan just drove the Nullar Boar.
Heist diesel was $3.42 a litre.
$3.05 in Seduna.
Just enjoy the trip.
Four days ago that was.
So interesting.
That's not like horrible compared to the city prices.
No, it's not.
But it's still not great.
No, it's not.
Listy 61 said, I was feeling good about ordering my 76 series in Feb, not so optimistic now.
I would remain optimistic.
Stay optimistic.
Yeah.
You're still going to have a great car and you're going to have it for a long time.
But yeah, it could just take a little bit longer to kind of to get here or especially
with the fuel pricing.
It might just be a little bit more expensive to run.
Greg Hunter, there may be a lot of pre-booked Easter camps.
So it's empty this year.
I was thinking this as well because obviously Easter this weekend.
Happy Easter, everyone.
Yeah, true.
Didn't run that off the top.
But yeah, happy Easter to everyone.
And if you're if you're going away on Easter, send us a message.
I want to love to know if you've still managed to get away and go somewhere for the holidays,
whether that's flying somewhere or whether that's for driving out somewhere.
It'd be great to know.
I'd love to know if you've cancelled your trip as well due to the fuel prices or other reasons
around that.
But yeah, that'd be cool to know.
Interesting.
I think as well, if you have booked and you are no longer going, potentially try and get
on a cancel if you can.
Oh, definitely.
Just so you do allow others to definitely.
So I've been watching a few videos lately and a lot of people and this may be because
of what's going on.
I don't know how recent these videos, they're like recently released, but you know how a
lot of the creators, you know, backlog a little bit.
But frustrations around rocking up to campsites, the best campsites are booked online, but
they rock up there and there's no one there for the period of the time that they're there.
So yeah, maybe if you have and you're not going to go anymore, then maybe just jump on
and cancel.
Yeah, agree.
Definitely.
Tough talk tip.
Last known location.
Spammy.
DGelks.
DGelks.
I think one option people aren't considering, especially if you live in the country is
either share vehicles in your household.
Although somehow weirdly ingrained in our culture, you really don't need your own personal vehicle.
If you live with a partner, you can have two cars for separate tasks.
So I think you're saying potentially you can just use the one vehicle rather than both.
Is that what that's saying?
Anyway, I think so.
We live around Margaret River in WA so do a lot of kilometres and it hasn't made sense
for years to own anything but an EV for daily driving or going for a surf when there is
a sealed road in a sealed road in.
We then have an FJ cruiser for trips and as the backup car when one of us is using the
Tesla wants to do a beach run or for those big trips once or twice a year but otherwise
it sits in the garage untouched.
Okay, so you're saying can you just use the one vehicle, whether that is electric petrol
diesel, can you use the one car and limit maybe the trips or you have an electric vehicle
for your daily running around?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think most people are already living like that.
I don't think there's too, like I don't think many people have two cars per person.
Are you saying a car per person?
Well, I don't think many people have two cars per person but I think most people would have
a car per person.
Like you alone have a car, correct?
Yeah.
I've only got one car and I'm not going to get a daily driver because I just can't
justify the price of getting a daily driver to have another car.
I'm taking this out a little bit.
I'm saying, I think he's saying can you share the one vehicle?
Between two.
Yeah.
I don't think that's feasible for most people.
Yeah.
Maybe I'm getting this one.
No, no, I think you are.
He's saying that they've got an EV, electronic vehicle between the two of them but they also
have an FJ cruiser for backups when say he's using the electric vehicle and she needs
to go somewhere, she'll take the cruiser or vice versa, which is great and that works
for you.
And I think it's a good idea.
Like if you can get away with one car between two, then yeah, that's probably something
you can look at.
But for most people, I would say that a car, they'll need to have a car between two.
You can probably get away with using public transport depending on where you live.
Like if you work in the city or somewhere easier, but yeah, tough in Margaret River.
And for people who can remote work from home, that's a good option.
Yeah.
But yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's a thing that's ingrained in our culture where you need your own personal
vehicle rather than something that is convenient and easy for people to, convenient and just
makes sense for people to do.
Like I have one four-wheel drive and said I've got the Land Cruiser and that's it.
I don't have any other cars.
That's your daily.
That's my daily.
That's my trip car.
That's everything.
Yeah.
Which is fine.
It costs a lot of money to run and maintain and do that kind of stuff.
But I'm okay with that.
If I had to get a daily driver, it would probably make financial sense in the long run.
But in the short term, it just doesn't make sense for me to spend money on a daily driver.
Get it.
Consider a motorbike actually.
But then you have like a whole separate dangers and stuff that go with motorbikes.
Plus, you're not really taking much with you on a motorbike.
No, you're not.
Have you got some voice messages?
Yes, you do.
I do.
Let me just grab those up.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't mind the idea though.
I don't think it's a bad idea to have one car between two people if it makes sense for
you.
If you can do that.
At the end of the day, you have to be able to do it though.
My brother and mum at the moment has no car between two people, three people in the house
actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I just don't need one over there.
Yeah.
Different here.
Which is great.
If you don't need it, then who cares?
You don't need it.
It is definitely different here.
Yeah.
But yeah, I guess the other thing is just comfort, convenience, and that side of things.
Absolutely convenience is a big one.
Yeah.
You don't just do the easiest things you do to save money.
Okay, boys, Josh here again.
This one's for Diego on the last video where you were talking about coming into land and
having to go back up around again.
Yeah.
So what that's called is it's called a go around.
And essentially in a nutshell, it's similar to us four-wheel driving if we're not quite
happy with our line choice or there's a factor that could compromise our ability to take
on obstacle.
Same thing in that situation, the pilot probably wasn't quite happy with the approach or the
winds probably would have exceeded the limits of the aircraft.
And so as a result, instead of trying to proceed with the landing and potentially damage the
aircraft or, again, compromise the safety of you and the other passengers, what he'll
opt to do is the safest thing, apply the power, go up, go around, and have another crack.
So that'll be what you've experienced in a nutshell basically.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
Love it, Josh.
I like that.
That's cool.
I didn't know that.
Go around.
Yeah, so obviously just the pilot doesn't like the line.
I mean, that's actually a bloody good way to put it.
Reverse back out and we'll have another go.
The pilot didn't like the line.
The pilot didn't like the line.
The pilot didn't like the island.
That's a lead, Josh.
Thank you.
Well, actually, because we have since flown back in from another away trip just gone.
And yeah, first thing that came to my head when the seatbelt sign went on to commence
the descent to land was like, oh, yeah, that's right.
We had that episode like where we up and down was a bit scary.
That's cool to know there.
Go around.
So they're just not happy.
Reassuring.
It actually is reassuring that.
Yeah.
It's just more of a, yeah, there's nothing wrong.
There's nothing wrong there.
There's nothing wrong with the plane.
You're not going to die.
We need to get a better line.
Yeah.
Let's say I'm going to look at it next time.
It's a good way to look at it.
Next time it's not a better line.
It's just like, yeah, sorry, mate.
Wheels aren't going down.
Dripping outside, boys.
Oh, geez.
Howdy guys.
I'm Joel from Adelaide.
Just wanted to call in and respond to you guys said you wanted to see how the fuel price
increases have affected people.
The other day, Friday, when the episode 138 released, I filled up with 70 bucks.
So I chucked in 70 bucks worth of diesel and it got me 22 liters.
So, yeah, it's pretty, pretty shocking.
I'm a gardener by trade as well.
So, yeah, it's a hit in everyone.
Love the podcast, boys.
And Liam, hope you enjoyed your breakfast Saturday morning, last Saturday morning.
Great, man.
Adelaide.
Oh, right.
Because you played pool.
I was at breakfast and I walked back from the counter and James, it was like, are you
Liam Duggan?
And I said, I was with Kripper.
Oh, really?
So I was with the footy crew, a couple of the bikes and the footy crew.
And he's like, well, mate, yeah, love the podcast.
And I was like, oh, we get down real.
That's good.
So it was good.
I met James.
Yeah.
So that was James messaging in.
May have been Josh.
Josh.
I thought you said, I thought it was Josh.
Yeah.
I think it was Josh.
Sorry.
The first one was James.
So James, then Josh.
Yep.
I thought you said it was Josh.
Anyway, there you go.
It's a gardener.
Unless I cooked that completely.
Let me just double check.
Let me just double check.
Oh, that was Joel.
That was Joel.
And the first one was Josh.
I don't know where I pulled James from.
Joel.
Yeah, Joel.
Sorry, Joel.
Sorry, guys.
I met Joel at Brecky.
That's cool.
Sick.
But yeah, obviously.
So he's a gardener by trade.
Obviously towing, I would have thought.
Yeah.
Potentially.
Yeah.
Or loaded up in the back.
Probably.
Yeah.
At least I think with those trades, at least you can claim tax.
Maybe.
You can claim a fair bit of fuel back on tax.
Hopefully for his sake.
Because you're driving the vehicle around like it's a work vehicle.
Yeah.
So as long as you log it, right?
Are there in a log book?
Mm-hmm.
Or a sense per kilometre.
I can't remember how it works, but you can claim it.
Yeah.
I'm assuming he wanted to put in more than $70.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah.
I don't think you ideally want to fill up 22 litres every time.
22 litres at 70 bucks is just outrageous.
Absolutely outrageous.
Don't they?
You got any more there?
No, those are both the voice messages.
Just send in some more.
Joel, that pumps me up when Joel says g'day for the podcast stuff.
Yeah.
I just, I'd not been like, I expected him, we were in Adelaide about to play that weekend.
Yeah.
And I was assuming Adelaide being a footy state that he was saying hello because he recognised
Kripper or I.
Yeah.
And I just happened to walk past.
But it was like for the potty and I was like, yes.
So he recognised him from the potty, like not even from footy or anything.
He's like, I love the podcast or listen to the podcast.
So he's like, I'm up to date.
I just listened to the, he listened to the.
Fuck yes, Joel.
Joel, I'm sorry I got your name wrong, mate.
I don't know where I've pulled James from.
I'm sorry, bud.
I forgot to tell you that.
I was meant to tell you that.
I was meant to text you that actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I was going to text you.
I was like, oh, I just bumped into a fellow in Adelaide.
I love that.
It's cool.
I actually, there's one.
I was at the gym a few months ago, just after I did Ronnie's modified video.
Yeah.
I had a guy come up to me at the gym and say, he loved the video and all that, which was
cool.
We were modifying your body at the time.
I was modifying what we were doing at the time.
I was on the bench press.
Of course you were.
I had a bit of a bench today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
110, 105.
No.
No.
What are you on?
100 for a few reps.
Easy.
It's not even a question.
No, for you, mate.
For you, it's difficult for me.
Oh, no, it's difficult.
Definitely felt like it was a heavy 100 today.
Heavy 100.
It's weird, again, not what we talked about on this podcast, but some days you just,
the weights just feel like...
Heavy.
Real heavy.
Yeah, this can't be the same 100 that I did last week.
Real heavy today.
Yeah.
Real heavy needed the spotter.
Anyway.
Who's the strongest?
Who's benching the most?
Not that that's the best test of strength.
I think Reuben Jimby bench is the most for us at the moment.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
He's looking better.
But when I first started, like, there were some absolute animals on the big lifts, like
big chin numbers, like chin-up numbers with weight hanging off them and big bench press
numbers, bigger than what we are now.
The games changed a bit, though.
I heard that.
The game is more...
Yeah.
Athletic.
Well, like, you probably don't need to be doing big, massive numbers.
Like, there would have been three or four blokes when I first started, sort of hitting
150, probably.
Really?
Yeah.
On the bench.
But now, now the best to be...
I think Reuben still does a monster amount, but it's not quite 150.
What's he on?
I'd be around that, maybe even a bit more.
Yeah.
But, like, a lot of the group probably sits between 100 and 120.
Yeah.
That'd be pretty standard for you boys.
What's...
I heard Bunga was doing some massive...
Bunga did some big bench.
Without training for at all.
Bunga didn't do a lot of gym, yeah.
He just walked in and just...
He could just do it, yeah.
Farm strength.
Farm strength, yeah.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
We need to go live on a farm somewhere, maybe.
Work on our potty patrol.
Yeah.
Nick lifted a lot.
Big nut.
Yeah.
Mitch Brown lifted a lot when I first got there.
They were the big, like...
The big bench numbers.
Chin ups.
Big Eric Mackenzie on the chin ups.
That was impressive.
Bunga on the chin ups.
Bunga on the chin ups, too.
Bonus.
Just the fun.
And the best player ever.
Anyway, that's...
That's for the room next door.
That's for the room next door.
Yeah.
Appreciate all the engagement on around the fire pit today.
We asked for it and you guys have delivered.
Yeah.
I think that gives us...
Yeah.
It's just great to read through that spark conversation
and just hear from people about how this is sort of affecting them.
Yeah.
Positive or negative.
We love all comments.
We don't listen to negative, but...
We love it.
We love it.
So anyway, that is the Full Draft podcast,
Power By Tie Power.
Again, want to reiterate those shirts
that Jaden's wearing.
Is that...
Look, do I need to point that way to you?
Yeah, that way.
No, that's good.
That's the way.
That way?
Yep.
You are to my right.
So they are up.
Ready to be...
On the store.
Ready to go.
Nice, seamless design there.
I love them.
