Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, keep it locked to one. It's an unhot tomato.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
So yesterday I was trending in the news that Donald
Trump wanted to reopen Alcatraz. Okay, have you ever No,
you haven't been Alcatraz?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, I didn't do anything bad enough.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's you've been having it's it's awesome, but it's so rundown,
like there's no reviving it. It is a really cool
place to jump on the boat and you go over
and you have a look at in the cells and
you have a story when you're.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
On the boat. Do you realize as you're going over,
you go, there's no way you'd be able to swim
in this quarter.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
In all that time, especially because I didn't have swimm
lessons like us, like as an Aussie who's learned to swim,
since you could like saying you do it, I think
you size it up with the current currents are.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Strong and the water is cold. Yes, that's part of them.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's part of the point, I know. But I'm just
saying you'd sit there and go In those generations, they
didn't swim at all, they didn't have to swim, were
good swimmers. Now just saying.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
That's what it is, I could do that that water
a right, if you're going to be there for life,
wouldn't you have a crack?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I mean, that's why there's a movie Escape from Alcatraz, right.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Because you have a crack.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, So that's what the movie and the Rock is
another one. So that's why I'm bringing it up. So
Donald Trump said he wants to bring bring back Alcatraz.
Everyone's gone. That's ridiculous. It's gone and cost millions and
millions of dollars to revive it. And then they've worked
out that on Saturday night at worst Palm Beach, where
he was at his Mary Lago resort, the actual movie

(01:42):
Escape from Alcatraz was And so now now it's hilarious.
People are tweeting, are we getting American policy from TV shows?
We're going to spend half a billion dollars fixing up
alcatraz Or because an old man was bored and flipping
through channels on Saturday night.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I can't imagine Donald Trump getting time to watch TV.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I reckon you have a bit of time off. You'd
have to make sure otherwise, especially because he's in his seventies.
But anyway, he has now acknowledged the influence, and he
has said I guess I was supposed to be a
movie maker. It represents something very strong, very powerful in
terms of law and order. Nobody ever escaped except for
the movies that escape from Alcatraz.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
You missed the point of the movie.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
They got me thinking, Gaily, go with me here. I
know you'll be on board. Imagine if he got all
of his policy from TV. Broke back man, I can't
quit you. Oh men must go camping once here with
their friends. I wrote you every day the notebook, bring
back letder writing, Kid's almost right to each other.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
You've just seen him signing up on all the constitutions,
saying here, this one's a big one.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I wrote you every day. America, hunger games, presidential elections
decided by teenage survival skills, Everyone's tributes. What about home alone?
Marbles and Bibie trips are now the National Security plan
and a night year old is in charge of the
White House security. Are you on board?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
What about it? I'd take it to TV shows as well.
Gilligan's Island. You could have the millionaire and the movie star.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's exactly kind of what he's got. Yes, what about
Jurassic Park, Disneyland, Kevin on the phone, the Disneyland?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
What about Maxwell Smart the Cone of Silence?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I wish he had that.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
And I'm thinking back to the future. For all the
back to the future fans stuff space travel. He's ringing
NASA and he's going research. I need a national time
travel agency. We're going back in time

Speaker 3 (03:39):
To change our vote.
