it's been a bit of a while since we got together.
It's actually yeah, working some more work and a little
(02:59):
bit of here and there.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
But I think the most exciting thing I've got at
the moment is around around this time of the year
is finals of sports and my son has been given
the opportunity is only fourteen years old, been given the
opportunity to referee, to be the center referee of a
Green final this year in soccer. I reckon, that's really cool.
(03:21):
It's a big accomplishment for him. He does suller through
me from ADHD and ASD, which.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Is a form of autism.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
So for him to be an officiator of that caliber.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
At the age of fourteen, bloody. Good luck to him.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
So I'm really actity proud moment.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
So that's in front of unofficial ARC moment.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
So that's about for me. I don't know what have
you guys been up to.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I am still trying to get my head around retirement.
I stopped full time work I don't know over a
year ago now, about nearly a year ago, and then
I gave up casual or part time work in May.
So it's been a few months now and I'm still
trying to get my sea legs around this retirement thing.
(04:16):
It's it's a bit scary too, because you take a
big plummet in your in your income and you think,
am I going to you know, am I going to last?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It's it's it's a it's an interesting change in your
entire life because I'm no longer having to get up
at five five thirty in the morning, which I did
for which I did for thirty plus years.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
And that's a big thing just to start with.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Is just to.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
You recaline exactly?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, I still wake up at half past five?
Speaker 9 (04:50):
How you need an alarm for that? No?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
No, you, by odd would just get used to she
at the same home because you're at the same routine.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
So but did you talk that time with like decapage
or maybe dom and job bu nothing, that's nothing wrong
with that. Or I'm just saying, you know, a nice
little quiet I'll but you could do it. I think
of quiet hobbies that wouldn't upset anybody else, you know,
or thirty in the morning. I'll keep working on it
for you though. Yeah, I'll back to the.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Troy board do I generally I am able to get
back to sleep these days. It's just good. Yeah, but
it's it is a strange. Some people take to it
like a duck to water. But yeah, I I didn't.
I haven't.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
My father retired at sixty. He's now seventy three. He
retired at sixty, and he just I don't know how
he does it, but he tinkes around the home and
does a few things, but he loves.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
It, absolutely loves it. They got like for six months.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Of the year, you know, come April there they're heading
north and going up the east coast of Australia and
love him and Mum.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Just they just yeah, they do embraced it.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You guys know that Judy and I are doing some traveling,
so that's part of it. And I've got this podcast
and the other one that I do. I'm keeping myself busy.
You've got a couple of books in my head that
I want to write, and one's about my grandfather in
World War two, so yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Very interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Got a box of his memorabilia from the war recently
and some photos that he took because he was on
one of the islands near New Guinea in the Pacific campaign.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Oh yeah, and he.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Took like there's a photo of a row of kiddy
Hawk fighter planes runway, and then a photo through the
palm trees of all these battleships. Oh maybe they would
be unique photos, no one. Yeah, so I want to
(06:58):
put it all in a book.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
Oh god, yeah, that's so cool. I'll read that book
for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, I'm getting around to it. Got a few things
on the boil, so yeah, well we'll work on them.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Well that's going to keep you occupied anyway, which is
really good because I always said that once you retire,
you should look at keeping yourself to keep professionally worker
especially I'm ticking over exactly, and find yourself something to do.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
So that's really good, Andrew, That's that's excellent.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
I was glad you guys have gone, because yeah, I've
got nothing, but I have six I'm not interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You're molting. You're malting, that's.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
What you Hey, what I've made up to. I'm malting
my hair. Look, I've got very little looking hairs and
ears and I just pulled like I'm not bald listeners.
But you know, if I pull up my ponytail too severely.
There are some patches that are questionable, but like because
I've just got very fine hair and it's not a
lot of it, Like my hair's naturally very curly, so
(08:00):
and it's out and everything. It looks well, you know,
Ronald McDonald. But it also like it doesn't.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Look Ronald McDonald.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Yeah it doesn't. It's not red, but it's bloody. It's
a bird's a head of hair, but it's it just
looks all wild and gypsy like and whatever. But which
is you know, part of my heritage as well, So
that's handy. But when it's straight like it is at
the moment, and I haven't washed it in a couple
of days because fucking no, I don't need to, and
(08:28):
I haven't been going like you know, except for where
parrieners pull it up, but I digress, as I usually do. Anyway.
Whole point is I've just taken it out of the
scrunchy uh and like a good fucking handful has you know,
pulled out because I also haven't been brushing it the
last couple of days because shut up, everyone, I don't want.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
To anny some rosy what's that? That's stress?
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I nicator for stress, you'd start losing a little bit
of hair here and there.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Well, she well after like what we spoke about before, you.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Know, bloody stress to look at that right, give me
my piece of devon back.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
But yeah, so my channels like a walkie.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's really all there is from me, Richie Ritchie.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I want you to go first. What are you talking
about today?
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I thought of a nice category this time, what about
conspiracy theories? It's always very intriguing parts, always mystical, and
I get really involved with all this sort of stuff
and some of it is really far.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Fetched, like the ten slot of hat stuff.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, and some holds a little bit of credence.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Now, I thought i'd start with the flat earth conspiracy.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I've got an answer for this, but carry on.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
That's good now for that question.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
This person rose in the nineteen fifties and it's been
given you life in the Internet age. After all, even
ancient people we knew the Earth was around. The Greeks
even figured out and it's the circumference in what the
third century?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah roundabout.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
And obviously since then astronauts have launched into space and seen.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
The blue marble with their own eyes.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
But yeah, you know, really flat Earth believers, they'd see
beyond their own rise and the line between Earth and
the sky looks pretty flat.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
They reckon, and all of the evidence that we have
is tossed out the window. What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, there's an easy way to prove that the Earth
is not flat. I mean, you don't have to go
off the planet to prove it.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I have a theory, can I say one? Very quickly?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Andrew?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (10:40):
I believe that the easiest way of finding out is
with the sun. Yeah, yeah, go on, Because if we
have a flat Earth, the sun can rise in the east.
Doesn't matter, It's still going to be sunlight in the
west when it rises. So if the Earth was flat,
that means us talking now at ten past seven and
(11:00):
in the evening, boy is there they is it daylight
in America? So for Earth, actually the Earth is flat,
that means America would be they'd have sunlight. Yeah, they
might have sun light, you know, say, say a hotter sunlight.
It might be higher in the sky America and less
(11:22):
over here in Australia, but we'll still have some light
yet a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
Because the royal theme is flat, the whole of mills
would have that.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, the Earth was flat, the whole world would be
sunny on the other side all day and then nice.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Tall four hours or how many hours you want to say,
the sun goes from one side of the Earth to
the other, and then it goes underneath the earth.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Well, then everyone's pitch black.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that's not the case.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So no, I mean another way to put another way
to prove it is during an eclipse. If the Earth
was flat, then the shadow of the Earth on the moon,
for example, during a lunar eclipse, would be not circular.
And yet it always is, it always is.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
I have I have one small theory myself. It's not
anything backed up by science or facts, but reminiscent of
ol Clark and Door. There was a skit called the
Front fell Off, Yes, about a boat right now. So
for me, my theory is quite the same in that well,
(12:41):
to my knowledge, no one has fallen off.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The knowledge, no one's fallen off.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
So I feel like if it was completely flat, there
would be a point at which it ends, and so
you'd be like shit, and I'll go off the like
I've done it again. Fucking l We've lost another.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And that's the thing that's the See, if the Earth
was flat, you would be able to sail to the edge.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Of it, Yes, and at some point you're going to
look at the.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Edge of it.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
And it doesn't explain how the water doesn't sort of.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Roll off the How is there not like how has
there not been like a leak, you know where like
if you tilt a little bit, like it's all just
run off the end because it's flat, so we would
have no water or anything then, And yet all of
these things like and you think, well, yeah, because if
it was flat at some point, and also while I'm
(13:34):
on that, well, what do they think is outside there?
So do they not believe in space? Do they think
like Earth is just like this flat land thing they're.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
About that the shape of the planet.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
But they're not confused. Then if there's they if they
believe in space, then how do they think that Like
they think that we're like I don't know if you
remember the Jetsons, but like at the top, like there
was just that part that just like hovered about out.
So it's like they think that Earth is just doing
that like covering around this flat thing, and then like
some water just tips off and we lose some people
(14:07):
on the other end, Like you know, if we go
a bit fast around the the moon, the moon's while.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
We've probably got so many missing persons because they're falling off.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
The end of the Earth. But they't go looking for them.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
They're gone, So just write them off as they've fallen
off the face of the Earth.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Literally, that's where I did.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, we've got flat earthists, but we don't have flat moonists.
So I mean that they've got no problem with the
shape of the moon.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
And they say a lot of the a lot of
the photos from the Apollos missions were fake, and oh,
I all reckon, it's a conspiracy that I'll talk about
in another episode. Yes, but the actual photograph of the
of the Earth, that very infamous photo was they reckon,
that's fake as well.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So my great grandmother, who I did meet and I
got to know as a young chap. My grandmother never
believed that we went to the moon, never believed it.
Thought it was a publicity stunt.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Really actually, I know someone who still thinks that too,
And I'm like, do you think that there's a lot
that's a lot of trouble to go to for a hoax?
Like and they still no one's come out yet and
gone Kia like they're still sending made out documentaries.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
They've made documentaries about it, like the way the way
the flag waves, Yes, people.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
Talk about that or in English looks the same as
flags and wires.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
On it because there's no atmosphere on the moon, so
you hold it up, the.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Flag will just be flex what do you call it, placid?
That's it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
And that you needed wire in the in the actual
flag so that America could promote the flag and say, hey,
show me our flag, or it just would have been
so much. Yeah, I'd like to go more into detail
with that in another episode.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I've got a fair bit of stuff.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
On lending a common conspiracy so we can we can
make this a regular thing if you like conspiracies, conspiracies.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Of the world.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
And also I think that'll.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Be really good mysteries and consumertion.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Okay, So what's one of the like the top number
one things, like with the whole people thinking that the
Earth is flat, what do they sort of cite as
their proof?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
They don't, but they have no proof. There is no proof.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
They're just held bent on disproving the fact that it's around.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, they just it's more a belief than it is.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
And they said it's more motivated by religious belief or
a desire to see the universe as a more caring, humored,
centered place.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Right. Okay, ah, that doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
But how could it be caring whether it's round or flat?
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Correct?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And I just think the easiest way of knowing is
the sun? Well how can how can something like you're
always going to have some sort of daylight?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Yeah, we've got if the earth's.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Flat, well that's true. And also you know that one
other thing about religious beliefs. The thing that gets to
me there now, like you believe in what you believe
in totally. For I was raised Catholic and I believe it.
I believe in that, but I have my own thoughts
about certain things. Whatever. We're not getting into that. My
point being, though, is if it's surrounded, centralized around some
(17:34):
of it, centralized around religious beliefs, It's like, okay, but
do you not have faith in your God to have
created a thing that is round in which everyone can survive,
and it does turn, and it does do all those things.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
We look, the reason it's round is gravity well yeah,
but I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Like people who are like religious, like, oh no, well
it has to be flat. Well, I mean, but he
can create the moon and everything else, so why wouldn't
he be able to to make Earth round and have
everyone survive and live on it and have a b spinning.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
So we in a Hubble telescope, which is a very
famous telescope. It's been I think it's still in space.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's still operating, still work bereiful.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Yeah, literally going on since I think the early seventies
maybe or meets.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Hubble's certainly been up there and I don't look it up.
It's nineteen ninety, the year.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Before I was born.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Why have we got why have we got beautiful photos
from that? From planets like Satin exactly, and Venus and
Jupiter and they're not flat.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Now everything's spherical because of gravity.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Yeah, yeah, there's just it's very I find that.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
To explain gravity though, because not many people can. It's
it's it's a weird time.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
It is.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
We don't know why it is or what it is really,
we just know it is.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, we're not even sure if there's a subtopic particle
called a graviton. But there's something out there, and it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
On and on and on.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
We're going to take a little bit of break, a
little bit of a break as I break up all
my words here on trash Talk.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
We're talking trash with the dash of flair to the
big top news.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Trash Talk's here to carry you are blues.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Now, what I wanted to talk about today was electricity,
and more specifically electricity prices. Now put in your hands.
If you're happy with how much you pay for electricity
in this country, That's the response I expected. Where did
it all The question I want to ask you is
(19:50):
where did it all go wrong? Where did our electricity
system fall flat on its face and become something worse
than third.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Well not the third World.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm not a political person. I don't like talking political
politics or religion because I don't know it all that well.
So I don't talk about stuff that I'm not sure about.
But I do remember many years ago we had a
politician here in New South Wales of Australia called Bob
Carr yep sold who sold off all the electricity, all
(20:23):
of our power stations, everything to the private sector and
there was no regulation. There was no regulation in that
and the private sector was then this is how I
read it that. Then they sold it back to the
government and they sold it to whatever they could, and
they were charging whatever they.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Could and they knew they had the market. There was
no regulations.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Okay, Bob Carr was a good Why did he Carr
was elected in nineteen eighty three, I mean he became.
He wouldn't have been premier straight away because that's not
how the system works here. But he was elected twice
as premier, nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and three.
Now those dates do correlate with what you just said,
(21:06):
Rich yep. But the problem arose that when our electricity
system was up and running. Originally it was all government
owned and government run. They owned the polls, they owned
the power stations, they owned the wires, and they ran
the retail sector, which makes sense. Well, they localized it
(21:28):
through a local government system. Somewhere along the line we
decided to deregulate the electricity market on the retail side. Okay, okay,
And that happened in the late nineteen nineties. Nineteen ninety seven,
I think was when electricity retail was privatized. Now, the
(21:52):
idea behind that was to create competition and drive prices down.
I can hear canned laughter because it just didn't happen.
It did not happen. That was also when we started
to see the introduction of the national electricity market, which
(22:14):
took a long time to evolve into what it is
now because it was something that had to happen on
a state by state basis, and I think the last
state to join joined in two thousand and seven ish
something like that. And of course things went along pretty
swimmingly for a little while, and electricity prices only rose
(22:34):
with the consumer price index for a few years. But
then something did happen in two thousand and seven that
changed everything, and that is basically why we have the
shit show that we've got today called electricity in this country.
What do you reckon it was?
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I was going to say, that's the only thing I
can think of with Kevin seven.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Was the financial crisis.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
No, I am going to look up who was in
power at the time of this.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
I don't know, but I do remember that whole campaign
or whatever it is, Kevin O seven, Yes, ken A seven,
he was the original hashtager Kevin O seven yeah, or
it was a hashtag.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
It came down to the fact that we were already
in a deregulated market, but then something happened called the
Kyoto Protocol. Kyoto Kyoto Protocol is basically a global agreement
where countries agree by signing this document to reduce their
(23:43):
greenhouse emissions, which the Kyoto Protocol is aimed at cleaning
up the planet environmentally and reducing greenhouse gases. Now, most
electricity is created through burning coal. Yeah, and if you
and burning gas and they create greenhouse gases, and that
shit gets into the atmosphere and creates the problems we
(24:08):
have with global warming. We burn our fuel, which is
another issue, but these all combined to create the problem.
What was interesting is that not long after the signing
of the Kyoto Protocol, in fact, almost at exactly the
same time, electricity prices skyrocketed. We were even stevens with
(24:31):
the CPI and then Kyoto boom, and that sent consumer
price index basically and as a consequence of that, electricity
prices went absolutely through the roof. And we are talking
(24:52):
mega increases. I think the increase in prices for electricity
in this country over a ten year period from twenty
thirteen went up in some cases by seventy percent. Well now,
and they're still rising. They're still rising horribly. And what's
(25:12):
worse is that we've got a deregulated market now, which
is controlled by a handful of mega organizations who can
basically dictate terms and get what they want. So you
put solar on your roof, You spend a few thousand
dollars to put solar on your roof to reduce electricity,
and the companies reduce the solar, rebate the feed in tariff,
(25:38):
and so you still end up paying more than you should.
It's just going around and around and around. And what's
really sad in the research I've done, is that governments
have absolutely no power to stop it. Because the retail
sector of electricity in this country is privatized, governments have
(25:59):
little way over what is happening. So the governments make
the electricity, which goes onto the retailer, the retailer sells
it to us, and we pay whatever they damn or please,
and they seem to get away with it. They seem
to get away with it, and it is It is
(26:19):
putting people in positions where even the winter just gone,
they have to decide whether or not to pay for
electricity to hit the house or to eat. You can't
have you can't have both.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
I'm a single, the single dabt and I have my
son every couple of weeks, once a fortnight, and in
the colder periods of winter this year, I put my
you know, I put a tracksuit on, or was wrapped
in a blanket, and I'll made sure that he was
looked after and he was warm, and the heater went
(26:54):
into his bedroom. And I don't have heating, you know,
you got to buy a heater. I don't have ductor
deir conditioning or anything where you can turn the temperature
up or down. So I just made sure that he
was accounted for and I had to really watch what
I did. And you think, living in Australia that we'd
(27:14):
have better options to live. Well, we pay taxes on
a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That is a report from You can't read it because
it's too small, but that's a report from the Department
of Foreign Affairs and Trade on electricity in Australia, and
it quite clearly states that between nineteen eighty and two
thousand and seven, the price of electricity did not go
up more than the consumer Price index but in two
thousand and seven the price of electricity absolutely jumped in
(27:47):
conjunction with the Kyoto Protocol, and I quote once this
was signed. Australia has implemented various environmental policies in the
energy sector. The frequency of the policy changes and the
need to meet it's international environmental obligations has meant that
energy suppliers experienced higher costs and risk your investment environments,
(28:08):
and prices went up. It's as simple as that. If
you want to blame anything for electricity pricing in Australia,
two thousand and seven Kyoto Protocol, there you go.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
It actually helped anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Well, the jury is still out, but so far there's
no real indication that things are getting better at a
rate that is required. Oh, just for the record, just
for the record, just you know, this kind of proves
my point. Which country in the world do you think
pays the least for electricity?
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Shit, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, I'll just tell you.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
I'll go Switzerland.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
No. No, In fact, Switzerland is twenty first for electricity pricing,
the cheapest on this particular list. And this is not
all two hundred plus nations in the world, but Turkey
Turkey plays pays the least on it lift.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Of course I don't have much da.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
New Zealand is it twenty seven in the world in
terms of electricity pricing, Australia is seventh most expensive, Oh
su bitch, and the most expensive is Slovenia, in Spain, Germany,
Denmark and Japan. It's interesting because Japan, Japan decided to
follow our model and they're having the same problems we are, interesting,
(29:37):
isn't it?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
Well, so I'm glad I mat you know, I can
find one way to reduce my fucking electricity emissions. I
won't be using their hair drive much longer the way
it's stopping Welt.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Bottom line for me is we're being screwed and class.
We claim to be a first old country and there
are people who can't afford electricity in this country. That
to me is an absolute wrong and somebody needs to
step up and make it right.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Because it's a huge crisis.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Right to your local MP. Make noise, because if you
don't make noise, they don't think anything's wrong.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
No, Yeah, that's right, I love it.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
All right, We'll take a break. This is trash talk
with Andrew Rosie and Richie in not that particular order.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
We're talking trash made the dash up, Flaire love aloud everywhere,
some time he comes to the Big Top News stops here.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
To cure your blues.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
It's time, It's time, now for Rosie's rants.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Oh, this is always a great time of the show.
The best, one of the best parts. It's one of
the best.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
Parts, one of the best. Out of the three parts,
it's one of the best.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Yeah, well it is, isn't it? Three parts? That's right?
Speaker 9 (31:09):
I think we three best parts, three best but exactly.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
You're Ondernes part the best part is yeah, no, Well,
I've wanted to be the best part because I gives
me an outlet from my well, I've got a lot
of feelings, yeah, from my frustrations.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
And you know what, Rosie, there's not a lot of
it these days because we're all politically correct.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
And oh yeah, you know, you've got to watch what
you say.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
And I think, I think having you with your Rosie
Rent really puts a bit of perspective in the reality
of life.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Well, thank you. I appreciate that because I do a
lot of feelings, you know, well.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
We all do, but we don't say a lot like
the way you do it. No, that's.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
I will, that's sure, I have you, Luke, I have
a well I've signed off by because it feeds into
what I've pissed off about today. So I was wearing
my jumper today that says don't be a dick.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Because I feel like, call me Roger.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
Yeah, but so listen, Roger, I've got already for you. Yeah.
So like because sometimes, like you know, people don't get it.
So I thought visual aids would help, you know. So
I've bought this jumper that says don't be a dick,
and it had mixed mixed, oh, definitely mixed reactions, but
(32:35):
it had mixed effectiveness. It's still out on.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
How well it.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
So today. My issue often my issue is people who say,
I'll look on this, I'm a straight shooter, you know,
I'm straight bard and honest. I'll tell it like it is,
and look, maybe they do. However, what they what they
(33:05):
need to add to that is I tell it like
it is, but I fucking don't want to hear it
like it is.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
A lot of people like that is.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Just let me tell you what I think, but I
don't want to hear it if it comes from you,
if it's going to negatively affect me in any way.
So my fat is my issue because as like the
people listening, if they're still listening, have figured out, hopefully
I am a straight shooter, like I am. I say
(33:37):
exactly what if I think, and what I and what
I feel, and I say what I mean, and I
mean what I say. Sometimes that's pretty true. Yeah, sometimes
it might not necessarily be what I think because when
I open my mouth sometimes I even I get to
be surprised about things that come back, you know, and
that's fun, and that's fun for me. It's never doubt
(34:00):
I have to say and I well, I often disagree
though when I get surprised if I say something and
then I go, oh, yeah mate, yeah I said what
I said. Like but yeah. So my current issue is
people who yeah, make out that they're you know, a
(34:22):
peace in love unders are I'm all about honesty, love
everyone like you know so, and not even about like
love everyone. It's just oh, honesty is the best policy.
And you know, I'll tell you what I think, can
YadA YadA. And so when you put it to these
people when they seem to have an issue with you,
and you say to them, right, I mate, well out
(34:44):
with it, what's your problem? One First of all, they
act as though you've asked them to take off their
underwear and give it to you so you can keep
it for a while, because they like, act like you've
done something really is bizarre. And second of all, then
they're all terribly affronted. The blusterings probably my favorite, the blithering.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
You know, like I do love a good bleathering.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
I have to say it. But like when you say
to someone like, what's your problem? And then they can't
tell you or they back or they fucking backpedal, or
it's oh no, well look it's not it's not you.
I mean, lots of people do by it, and I'm like,
and yet, Susie, your issue seems to be particularly with me,
so like, make it make sense. Similar love you say
(35:30):
that you know you Okay, how we'll put it this way,
he's you know, you say to me that you know
it's great. I love that you're loud and whatever, and
you're happy and you're fun and that's great and you're
so funny and whatever. But see there's the butt. There's
always the butt. Just do what the problem is and
and you know what gets up my butt is when
(35:53):
people say they give you yeah, exactly, the thing where
people give you the fucking shit sandwich that's supposed to
be like the compliment that's like, oh, well look you're gray,
I hate your face, but also you're funny, like it's
you know, it's not that extreme, but it is when
they go, oh yeah, look, you know, it's really great
(36:16):
how you're you you laugh, and you're so good at
talking to people, and you're you're really upbeat and you're
lovely and that's fantastic. But I prefer like quite an environment.
And you know, I have trouble getting over you. It's
I mean, you've got some pipes on you, you're really loud,
but I would never say that you're obnoxious, or I
(36:37):
would never like, okay, like listen, Jenny, what's your fucking problem? Okay?
And then and then the second prong, prong too to
my fucking irritation today is also you give them the
opportunity to tell you what their fucking issue is, and
they squander it. They absolutely ps it up the wall.
(36:58):
They're like, oh no, no, everything's and then off they
are talking to Sandy and bevel or isn't that that's
actually a food breast? But whatever, this is a little pripple.
I'm husbry, so they're active.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
And what do you have in your rebels?
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Yeah? You know what controversial might be. But I've loved
this since I was a kid. Cheese and apple. Oh
good god.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
What's going on me?
Speaker 9 (37:29):
I don't know. I tried it when I was young
and I loved it. And Mon still makes that face
even though she's the one who makes it. Bobby, I
have toasted cheese and apple. I don't know what, but
I don't know. I can't I can't tell you why,
but I fucking love it.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
You sure there's no pine in front of that?
Speaker 10 (37:46):
No?
Speaker 7 (37:48):
So cheese and pineapple?
Speaker 9 (37:50):
No? No, Although I do like cheese and ham, cheese
and pineapple on a breamble or whatever. But that's my
secret favorite is a apple and cheese.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Yeah, I love I love ham cheese and avocado.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
Oh that's yummy.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
I like that truly. That one.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
I have had chicken, cheese and avocado. I don't think
about ham and avocado. That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
And what's the other one? I used to have? Baked beans?
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Yeah, bake bones all that's good. Throw a bit of
feather in there, a bit of trees.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Pork and barbecue sauce.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
Oh yeah, well I've always know you can't go you
can't go past the classic just cheese.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah, gotta put But do you put plastic cheese on?
Speaker 9 (38:31):
No? See, I have a rule. So this has turned
into a different rant, So I will expand on that
at another time. Phil, I've got a lot of feelings.
Speaker 8 (38:38):
But I'm glad you brought that up with us.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Yeah, no, come whatever. Know I have very subtle, very
demure whatever it is there saying.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
If you just up this something, everyone rose, he does
have feelings. Yeah, just if you didn't notice.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
Yes, And sometimes that's why I have these guys here
to point those things out, just I guess, because I'm
not very clear and consults. So my rule is plastic
cheese goes on saladas and like premium so like those
like that, right, And you can even put a piece
of yeah on your suggy. You can even put a
(39:15):
plastic cheese on a piece of toast if you have
toasted the bread, taken it out and then put the
butter and then put the cheese on. You may not
put it ro so no, I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Do the toast, put the butter.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
On that, put the butter on the cheese, then put
the cheese on, and then bathing for twenty seconds. I'm
not cheese shaming, but the cheese. Yeah, laid the teacher.
Leave that cheese alive. Just stop it.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
That was a famous song, wasn't it.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
Oh yeah, you enjoyed it. So that is the rule.
But shredded cheese is from melting on top of things.
Shredded cheese bows in the brevel, bevel and sandy. It
goes in that, and it goes on top of patas
and whatever is a garnish. All of that not a problem.
Plastic cheese has only two two purposes. Sorry. Free Sometimes
(40:17):
when you run out of jets, but you think, fuck it,
I'll just have a piece of cheese. You can have
that cheese.
Speaker 7 (40:21):
That's not a problem.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
Sometimes I'd like to just have cheese as a snack.
We can talk about that in another episode entitled My
Obsessions and Vices. It's cheese. So but yeah, So to
finish off the other thing, they go around the corner
and then they talk shit about you behind your fucking back.
And then when you confront them. Oh yeah, that's my rent.
(40:45):
And also, and I am speaking as a woman, what
the fuck is wrong with that? I don't understand, Like
what is wrong with us? Like, yeah, men, I don't
get either. But then in some ways, I'm like, it's
just so much simpler. But then with women, this whole thing,
and look on stereotyping. Whatever, I have boobs, I'm allowed.
I just don't understand the whole fucking thing with the
(41:08):
with the I suppose just in general, people's inability to
just fucking say what they made.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, now you're right.
Speaker 9 (41:18):
If it just gives me the screaming ships, it does.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 9 (41:26):
So in SUSI I say, fuck them, fuck them all.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Now I'm with you, Rosie and Rich little later we'll
have to talk about Rosie if you don't mind, how
about we how about we try and cheer up just
to finish off the share. And yes it's dad jokes.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
He loves that jokes.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, maybe you can go first. I got a willion
of them, but you can go first.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
The invector of the fairest will never met the inventor
of the merry go round.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
Okay, they get it is that the whole jay.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
Well one goes around that way.
Speaker 9 (42:05):
I thought there was sport.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
I was expecting a punch.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Today I learned that if you turn a canoe over,
you can wear as wear it as a hat because
it's capsized. Oh that's come on, it's pretty good.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
A weasel walks into the bar. The barman says, Wow,
I've never served a weasel before.
Speaker 7 (42:36):
What would you like? Pop goes the weasel.
Speaker 9 (42:39):
Juck. Do you know the sash ride with my brain?
Because the brass.
Speaker 4 (42:47):
Pop in this country do But.

All I think is weasel exploded. Yeah, the bar and
bag with the gun.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Pop, there you go.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I'm a bit worried I won't get past the first
line of this next one. I recently, I recently took
a pole. Okay, now you're over that. I recently took
a pole and found that one hundred percent of people
in the tent were angry when it collapsed.
Speaker 8 (43:20):

medieval times, I used lets a lot.
Speaker 4 (43:33):

crows simply drank at home.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
Okay, by all, here goes, I'll finish moll and off.

the best ceiling in the world, but it's up there.

Speaker 8 (03:00):
But I think the most exciting thing I've got at
the moment is around around this time of the year
is finals of sports and my son has been given
the opportunity is only fourteen years old, been given the
opportunity to referee, to be the center referee of a
Green final this year in soccer. I reckon, that's really cool.
(03:21):
It's a big accomplishment for him. He does suller through
me from ADHD and ASD, which.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Is a form of autism.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
So for him to be an officiator of that caliber.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
At the age of fourteen, bloody. Good luck to him.
Speaker 8 (03:36):
So I'm really actity proud moment.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
So that's in front of unofficial ARC moment.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
So that's about for me. I don't know what have
you guys been up to.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I am still trying to get my head around retirement.
I stopped full time work I don't know over a
year ago now, about nearly a year ago, and then
I gave up casual or part time work in May.
So it's been a few months now and I'm still
trying to get my sea legs around this retirement thing.
(04:16):
It's it's a bit scary too, because you take a
big plummet in your in your income and you think,
am I going to you know, am I going to last?
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It's it's it's a it's an interesting change in your
entire life because I'm no longer having to get up
at five five thirty in the morning, which I did
for which I did for thirty plus years.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
And that's a big thing just to start with.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Is just to.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
You recaline exactly?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, I still wake up at half past five?
Speaker 9 (04:50):
How you need an alarm for that? No?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
No, you, by odd would just get used to she
at the same home because you're at the same routine.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
So but did you talk that time with like decapage
or maybe dom and job bu nothing, that's nothing wrong
with that. Or I'm just saying, you know, a nice
little quiet I'll but you could do it. I think
of quiet hobbies that wouldn't upset anybody else, you know,
or thirty in the morning. I'll keep working on it
for you though. Yeah, I'll back to the.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Troy board do I generally I am able to get
back to sleep these days. It's just good. Yeah, but
it's it is a strange. Some people take to it
like a duck to water. But yeah, I I didn't.
I haven't.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
My father retired at sixty. He's now seventy three. He
retired at sixty, and he just I don't know how
he does it, but he tinkes around the home and
does a few things, but he loves.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
It, absolutely loves it. They got like for six months.
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Of the year, you know, come April there they're heading
north and going up the east coast of Australia and
love him and Mum.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Just they just yeah, they do embraced it.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
You guys know that Judy and I are doing some traveling,
so that's part of it. And I've got this podcast
and the other one that I do. I'm keeping myself busy.
You've got a couple of books in my head that
I want to write, and one's about my grandfather in
World War two, so yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Very interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Got a box of his memorabilia from the war recently
and some photos that he took because he was on
one of the islands near New Guinea in the Pacific campaign.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Oh yeah, and he.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Took like there's a photo of a row of kiddy
Hawk fighter planes runway, and then a photo through the
palm trees of all these battleships. Oh maybe they would
be unique photos, no one. Yeah, so I want to
(06:58):
put it all in a book.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
Oh god, yeah, that's so cool. I'll read that book
for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, I'm getting around to it. Got a few things
on the boil, so yeah, well we'll work on them.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Well that's going to keep you occupied anyway, which is
really good because I always said that once you retire,
you should look at keeping yourself to keep professionally worker
especially I'm ticking over exactly, and find yourself something to do.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
So that's really good, Andrew, That's that's excellent.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
I was glad you guys have gone, because yeah, I've
got nothing, but I have six I'm not interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You're molting. You're malting, that's.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
What you Hey, what I've made up to. I'm malting
my hair. Look, I've got very little looking hairs and
ears and I just pulled like I'm not bald listeners.
But you know, if I pull up my ponytail too severely.
There are some patches that are questionable, but like because
I've just got very fine hair and it's not a
lot of it, Like my hair's naturally very curly, so
(08:00):
and it's out and everything. It looks well, you know,
Ronald McDonald. But it also like it doesn't.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Look Ronald McDonald.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
Yeah it doesn't. It's not red, but it's bloody. It's
a bird's a head of hair, but it's it just
looks all wild and gypsy like and whatever. But which
is you know, part of my heritage as well, So
that's handy. But when it's straight like it is at
the moment, and I haven't washed it in a couple
of days because fucking no, I don't need to, and
(08:28):
I haven't been going like you know, except for where
parrieners pull it up, but I digress, as I usually do. Anyway.
Whole point is I've just taken it out of the
scrunchy uh and like a good fucking handful has you know,
pulled out because I also haven't been brushing it the
last couple of days because shut up, everyone, I don't want.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
To anny some rosy what's that? That's stress?
Speaker 9 (08:51):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I nicator for stress, you'd start losing a little bit
of hair here and there.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Well, she well after like what we spoke about before, you.
Speaker 8 (09:00):
Know, bloody stress to look at that right, give me
my piece of devon back.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
But yeah, so my channels like a walkie.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
That's really all there is from me, Richie Ritchie.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I want you to go first. What are you talking
about today?
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I thought of a nice category this time, what about
conspiracy theories? It's always very intriguing parts, always mystical, and
I get really involved with all this sort of stuff
and some of it is really far.
Speaker 9 (09:35):
Fetched, like the ten slot of hat stuff.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
Yeah, and some holds a little bit of credence.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Now, I thought i'd start with the flat earth conspiracy.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I've got an answer for this, but carry on.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
That's good now for that question.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
This person rose in the nineteen fifties and it's been
given you life in the Internet age. After all, even
ancient people we knew the Earth was around. The Greeks
even figured out and it's the circumference in what the
third century?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yeah roundabout.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
And obviously since then astronauts have launched into space and seen.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
The blue marble with their own eyes.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
But yeah, you know, really flat Earth believers, they'd see
beyond their own rise and the line between Earth and
the sky looks pretty flat.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
They reckon, and all of the evidence that we have
is tossed out the window. What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, there's an easy way to prove that the Earth
is not flat. I mean, you don't have to go
off the planet to prove it.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I have a theory, can I say one? Very quickly?
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Andrew?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Sure?
Speaker 8 (10:40):
I believe that the easiest way of finding out is
with the sun. Yeah, yeah, go on, Because if we
have a flat Earth, the sun can rise in the east.
Doesn't matter, It's still going to be sunlight in the
west when it rises. So if the Earth was flat,
that means us talking now at ten past seven and
(11:00):
in the evening, boy is there they is it daylight
in America? So for Earth, actually the Earth is flat,
that means America would be they'd have sunlight. Yeah, they
might have sun light, you know, say, say a hotter sunlight.
It might be higher in the sky America and less
(11:22):
over here in Australia, but we'll still have some light
yet a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
Because the royal theme is flat, the whole of mills
would have that.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, the Earth was flat, the whole world would be
sunny on the other side all day and then nice.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
Tall four hours or how many hours you want to say,
the sun goes from one side of the Earth to
the other, and then it goes underneath the earth.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Well, then everyone's pitch black.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Yeah, yes, yeah, that's not the case.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So no, I mean another way to put another way
to prove it is during an eclipse. If the Earth
was flat, then the shadow of the Earth on the moon,
for example, during a lunar eclipse, would be not circular.
And yet it always is, it always is.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
I have I have one small theory myself. It's not
anything backed up by science or facts, but reminiscent of
ol Clark and Door. There was a skit called the
Front fell Off, Yes, about a boat right now. So
for me, my theory is quite the same in that well,
(12:41):
to my knowledge, no one has fallen off.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
The knowledge, no one's fallen off.
Speaker 9 (12:47):
So I feel like if it was completely flat, there
would be a point at which it ends, and so
you'd be like shit, and I'll go off the like
I've done it again. Fucking l We've lost another.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
And that's the thing that's the See, if the Earth
was flat, you would be able to sail to the edge.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Of it, Yes, and at some point you're going to
look at the.
Speaker 9 (13:06):
Edge of it.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
And it doesn't explain how the water doesn't sort of.
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Roll off the How is there not like how has
there not been like a leak, you know where like
if you tilt a little bit, like it's all just
run off the end because it's flat, so we would
have no water or anything then, And yet all of
these things like and you think, well, yeah, because if
it was flat at some point, and also while I'm
(13:34):
on that, well, what do they think is outside there?
So do they not believe in space? Do they think
like Earth is just like this flat land thing they're.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
About that the shape of the planet.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
But they're not confused. Then if there's they if they
believe in space, then how do they think that Like
they think that we're like I don't know if you
remember the Jetsons, but like at the top, like there
was just that part that just like hovered about out.
So it's like they think that Earth is just doing
that like covering around this flat thing, and then like
some water just tips off and we lose some people
(14:07):
on the other end, Like you know, if we go
a bit fast around the the moon, the moon's while.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
We've probably got so many missing persons because they're falling off.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
The end of the Earth. But they't go looking for them.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
They're gone, So just write them off as they've fallen
off the face of the Earth.
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Literally, that's where I did.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, we've got flat earthists, but we don't have flat moonists.
So I mean that they've got no problem with the
shape of the moon.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
And they say a lot of the a lot of
the photos from the Apollos missions were fake, and oh,
I all reckon, it's a conspiracy that I'll talk about
in another episode. Yes, but the actual photograph of the
of the Earth, that very infamous photo was they reckon,
that's fake as well.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So my great grandmother, who I did meet and I
got to know as a young chap. My grandmother never
believed that we went to the moon, never believed it.
Thought it was a publicity stunt.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Really actually, I know someone who still thinks that too,
And I'm like, do you think that there's a lot
that's a lot of trouble to go to for a hoax?
Like and they still no one's come out yet and
gone Kia like they're still sending made out documentaries.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
They've made documentaries about it, like the way the way
the flag waves, Yes, people.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
Talk about that or in English looks the same as
flags and wires.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
On it because there's no atmosphere on the moon, so
you hold it up, the.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Flag will just be flex what do you call it, placid?
That's it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
And that you needed wire in the in the actual
flag so that America could promote the flag and say, hey,
show me our flag, or it just would have been
so much. Yeah, I'd like to go more into detail
with that in another episode.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
I've got a fair bit of stuff.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
On lending a common conspiracy so we can we can
make this a regular thing if you like conspiracies, conspiracies.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Of the world.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
And also I think that'll.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Be really good mysteries and consumertion.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Okay, So what's one of the like the top number
one things, like with the whole people thinking that the
Earth is flat, what do they sort of cite as
their proof?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
They don't, but they have no proof. There is no proof.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
They're just held bent on disproving the fact that it's around.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Well, they just it's more a belief than it is.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
And they said it's more motivated by religious belief or
a desire to see the universe as a more caring, humored,
centered place.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Right. Okay, ah, that doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
But how could it be caring whether it's round or flat?
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Correct?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And I just think the easiest way of knowing is
the sun? Well how can how can something like you're
always going to have some sort of daylight?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Yeah, we've got if the earth's.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Flat, well that's true. And also you know that one
other thing about religious beliefs. The thing that gets to
me there now, like you believe in what you believe
in totally. For I was raised Catholic and I believe it.
I believe in that, but I have my own thoughts
about certain things. Whatever. We're not getting into that. My
point being, though, is if it's surrounded, centralized around some
(17:34):
of it, centralized around religious beliefs, It's like, okay, but
do you not have faith in your God to have
created a thing that is round in which everyone can survive,
and it does turn, and it does do all those things.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
We look, the reason it's round is gravity well yeah,
but I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Like people who are like religious, like, oh no, well
it has to be flat. Well, I mean, but he
can create the moon and everything else, so why wouldn't
he be able to to make Earth round and have
everyone survive and live on it and have a b spinning.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
So we in a Hubble telescope, which is a very
famous telescope. It's been I think it's still in space.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's still operating, still work bereiful.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
Yeah, literally going on since I think the early seventies
maybe or meets.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Hubble's certainly been up there and I don't look it up.
It's nineteen ninety, the year.
Speaker 9 (18:28):
Before I was born.
Speaker 8 (18:29):
Why have we got why have we got beautiful photos
from that? From planets like Satin exactly, and Venus and
Jupiter and they're not flat.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Now everything's spherical because of gravity.
Speaker 9 (18:46):
Yeah, yeah, there's just it's very I find that.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
To explain gravity though, because not many people can. It's
it's it's a weird time.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
It is.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
We don't know why it is or what it is really,
we just know it is.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, we're not even sure if there's a subtopic particle
called a graviton. But there's something out there, and it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
On and on and on.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
We're going to take a little bit of break, a
little bit of a break as I break up all
my words here on trash Talk.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
We're talking trash with the dash of flair to the
big top news.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Trash Talk's here to carry you are blues.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Now, what I wanted to talk about today was electricity,
and more specifically electricity prices. Now put in your hands.
If you're happy with how much you pay for electricity
in this country, That's the response I expected. Where did
it all The question I want to ask you is
(19:50):
where did it all go wrong? Where did our electricity
system fall flat on its face and become something worse
than third.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Well not the third World.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
I'm not a political person. I don't like talking political
politics or religion because I don't know it all that well.
So I don't talk about stuff that I'm not sure about.
But I do remember many years ago we had a
politician here in New South Wales of Australia called Bob
Carr yep sold who sold off all the electricity, all
(20:23):
of our power stations, everything to the private sector and
there was no regulation. There was no regulation in that
and the private sector was then this is how I
read it that. Then they sold it back to the
government and they sold it to whatever they could, and
they were charging whatever they.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Could and they knew they had the market. There was
no regulations.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Okay, Bob Carr was a good Why did he Carr
was elected in nineteen eighty three, I mean he became.
He wouldn't have been premier straight away because that's not
how the system works here. But he was elected twice
as premier, nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and three.
Now those dates do correlate with what you just said,
(21:06):
Rich yep. But the problem arose that when our electricity
system was up and running. Originally it was all government
owned and government run. They owned the polls, they owned
the power stations, they owned the wires, and they ran
the retail sector, which makes sense. Well, they localized it
(21:28):
through a local government system. Somewhere along the line we
decided to deregulate the electricity market on the retail side. Okay, okay,
And that happened in the late nineteen nineties. Nineteen ninety seven,
I think was when electricity retail was privatized. Now, the
(21:52):
idea behind that was to create competition and drive prices down.
I can hear canned laughter because it just didn't happen.
It did not happen. That was also when we started
to see the introduction of the national electricity market, which
(22:14):
took a long time to evolve into what it is
now because it was something that had to happen on
a state by state basis, and I think the last
state to join joined in two thousand and seven ish
something like that. And of course things went along pretty
swimmingly for a little while, and electricity prices only rose
(22:34):
with the consumer price index for a few years. But
then something did happen in two thousand and seven that
changed everything, and that is basically why we have the
shit show that we've got today called electricity in this country.
What do you reckon it was?
Speaker 9 (22:52):
I was going to say, that's the only thing I
can think of with Kevin seven.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Was the financial crisis.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
No, I am going to look up who was in
power at the time of this.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
I don't know, but I do remember that whole campaign
or whatever it is, Kevin O seven, Yes, ken A seven,
he was the original hashtager Kevin O seven yeah, or
it was a hashtag.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
It came down to the fact that we were already
in a deregulated market, but then something happened called the
Kyoto Protocol. Kyoto Kyoto Protocol is basically a global agreement
where countries agree by signing this document to reduce their
(23:43):
greenhouse emissions, which the Kyoto Protocol is aimed at cleaning
up the planet environmentally and reducing greenhouse gases. Now, most
electricity is created through burning coal. Yeah, and if you
and burning gas and they create greenhouse gases, and that
shit gets into the atmosphere and creates the problems we
(24:08):
have with global warming. We burn our fuel, which is
another issue, but these all combined to create the problem.
What was interesting is that not long after the signing
of the Kyoto Protocol, in fact, almost at exactly the
same time, electricity prices skyrocketed. We were even stevens with
(24:31):
the CPI and then Kyoto boom, and that sent consumer
price index basically and as a consequence of that, electricity
prices went absolutely through the roof. And we are talking
(24:52):
mega increases. I think the increase in prices for electricity
in this country over a ten year period from twenty
thirteen went up in some cases by seventy percent. Well now,
and they're still rising. They're still rising horribly. And what's
(25:12):
worse is that we've got a deregulated market now, which
is controlled by a handful of mega organizations who can
basically dictate terms and get what they want. So you
put solar on your roof, You spend a few thousand
dollars to put solar on your roof to reduce electricity,
and the companies reduce the solar, rebate the feed in tariff,
(25:38):
and so you still end up paying more than you should.
It's just going around and around and around. And what's
really sad in the research I've done, is that governments
have absolutely no power to stop it. Because the retail
sector of electricity in this country is privatized, governments have
(25:59):
little way over what is happening. So the governments make
the electricity, which goes onto the retailer, the retailer sells
it to us, and we pay whatever they damn or please,
and they seem to get away with it. They seem
to get away with it, and it is It is
(26:19):
putting people in positions where even the winter just gone,
they have to decide whether or not to pay for
electricity to hit the house or to eat. You can't
have you can't have both.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
I'm a single, the single dabt and I have my
son every couple of weeks, once a fortnight, and in
the colder periods of winter this year, I put my
you know, I put a tracksuit on, or was wrapped
in a blanket, and I'll made sure that he was
looked after and he was warm, and the heater went
(26:54):
into his bedroom. And I don't have heating, you know,
you got to buy a heater. I don't have ductor
deir conditioning or anything where you can turn the temperature
up or down. So I just made sure that he
was accounted for and I had to really watch what
I did. And you think, living in Australia that we'd
(27:14):
have better options to live. Well, we pay taxes on
a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
That is a report from You can't read it because
it's too small, but that's a report from the Department
of Foreign Affairs and Trade on electricity in Australia, and
it quite clearly states that between nineteen eighty and two
thousand and seven, the price of electricity did not go
up more than the consumer Price index but in two
thousand and seven the price of electricity absolutely jumped in
(27:47):
conjunction with the Kyoto Protocol, and I quote once this
was signed. Australia has implemented various environmental policies in the
energy sector. The frequency of the policy changes and the
need to meet it's international environmental obligations has meant that
energy suppliers experienced higher costs and risk your investment environments,
(28:08):
and prices went up. It's as simple as that. If
you want to blame anything for electricity pricing in Australia,
two thousand and seven Kyoto Protocol, there you go.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
It actually helped anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Well, the jury is still out, but so far there's
no real indication that things are getting better at a
rate that is required. Oh, just for the record, just
for the record, just you know, this kind of proves
my point. Which country in the world do you think
pays the least for electricity?
Speaker 9 (28:46):
Shit, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, I'll just tell you.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
I'll go Switzerland.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
No. No, In fact, Switzerland is twenty first for electricity pricing,
the cheapest on this particular list. And this is not
all two hundred plus nations in the world, but Turkey
Turkey plays pays the least on it lift.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Of course I don't have much da.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
New Zealand is it twenty seven in the world in
terms of electricity pricing, Australia is seventh most expensive, Oh
su bitch, and the most expensive is Slovenia, in Spain, Germany,
Denmark and Japan. It's interesting because Japan, Japan decided to
follow our model and they're having the same problems we are, interesting,
(29:37):
isn't it?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
Well, so I'm glad I mat you know, I can
find one way to reduce my fucking electricity emissions. I
won't be using their hair drive much longer the way
it's stopping Welt.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Bottom line for me is we're being screwed and class.
We claim to be a first old country and there
are people who can't afford electricity in this country. That
to me is an absolute wrong and somebody needs to
step up and make it right.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Because it's a huge crisis.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Right to your local MP. Make noise, because if you
don't make noise, they don't think anything's wrong.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
No, Yeah, that's right, I love it.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
All right, We'll take a break. This is trash talk
with Andrew Rosie and Richie in not that particular order.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
We're talking trash made the dash up, Flaire love aloud everywhere,
some time he comes to the Big Top News stops here.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
To cure your blues.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
It's time, It's time, now for Rosie's rants.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Oh, this is always a great time of the show.
The best, one of the best parts. It's one of
the best.
Speaker 9 (31:02):
Parts, one of the best. Out of the three parts,
it's one of the best.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Yeah, well it is, isn't it? Three parts? That's right?
Speaker 9 (31:09):
I think we three best parts, three best but exactly.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
You're Ondernes part the best part is yeah, no, Well,
I've wanted to be the best part because I gives
me an outlet from my well, I've got a lot
of feelings, yeah, from my frustrations.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
And you know what, Rosie, there's not a lot of
it these days because we're all politically correct.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
And oh yeah, you know, you've got to watch what
you say.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
And I think, I think having you with your Rosie
Rent really puts a bit of perspective in the reality
of life.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Well, thank you. I appreciate that because I do a
lot of feelings, you know, well.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
We all do, but we don't say a lot like
the way you do it. No, that's.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
I will, that's sure, I have you, Luke, I have
a well I've signed off by because it feeds into
what I've pissed off about today. So I was wearing
my jumper today that says don't be a dick.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Because I feel like, call me Roger.
Speaker 9 (32:13):
Yeah, but so listen, Roger, I've got already for you. Yeah.
So like because sometimes, like you know, people don't get it.
So I thought visual aids would help, you know. So
I've bought this jumper that says don't be a dick,
and it had mixed mixed, oh, definitely mixed reactions, but
(32:35):
it had mixed effectiveness. It's still out on.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
How well it.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
So today. My issue often my issue is people who say,
I'll look on this, I'm a straight shooter, you know,
I'm straight bard and honest. I'll tell it like it is,
and look, maybe they do. However, what they what they
(33:05):
need to add to that is I tell it like
it is, but I fucking don't want to hear it
like it is.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
A lot of people like that is.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Just let me tell you what I think, but I
don't want to hear it if it comes from you,
if it's going to negatively affect me in any way.
So my fat is my issue because as like the
people listening, if they're still listening, have figured out, hopefully
I am a straight shooter, like I am. I say
(33:37):
exactly what if I think, and what I and what
I feel, and I say what I mean, and I
mean what I say. Sometimes that's pretty true. Yeah, sometimes
it might not necessarily be what I think because when
I open my mouth sometimes I even I get to
be surprised about things that come back, you know, and
that's fun, and that's fun for me. It's never doubt
(34:00):
I have to say and I well, I often disagree
though when I get surprised if I say something and
then I go, oh, yeah mate, yeah I said what
I said. Like but yeah. So my current issue is
people who yeah, make out that they're you know, a
(34:22):
peace in love unders are I'm all about honesty, love
everyone like you know so, and not even about like
love everyone. It's just oh, honesty is the best policy.
And you know, I'll tell you what I think, can
YadA YadA. And so when you put it to these
people when they seem to have an issue with you,
and you say to them, right, I mate, well out
(34:44):
with it, what's your problem? One First of all, they
act as though you've asked them to take off their
underwear and give it to you so you can keep
it for a while, because they like, act like you've
done something really is bizarre. And second of all, then
they're all terribly affronted. The blusterings probably my favorite, the blithering.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
You know, like I do love a good bleathering.
Speaker 9 (35:09):
I have to say it. But like when you say
to someone like, what's your problem? And then they can't
tell you or they back or they fucking backpedal, or
it's oh no, well look it's not it's not you.
I mean, lots of people do by it, and I'm like,
and yet, Susie, your issue seems to be particularly with me,
so like, make it make sense. Similar love you say
(35:30):
that you know you Okay, how we'll put it this way,
he's you know, you say to me that you know
it's great. I love that you're loud and whatever, and
you're happy and you're fun and that's great and you're
so funny and whatever. But see there's the butt. There's
always the butt. Just do what the problem is and
and you know what gets up my butt is when
(35:53):
people say they give you yeah, exactly, the thing where
people give you the fucking shit sandwich that's supposed to
be like the compliment that's like, oh, well look you're gray,
I hate your face, but also you're funny, like it's
you know, it's not that extreme, but it is when
they go, oh yeah, look, you know, it's really great
(36:16):
how you're you you laugh, and you're so good at
talking to people, and you're you're really upbeat and you're
lovely and that's fantastic. But I prefer like quite an environment.
And you know, I have trouble getting over you. It's
I mean, you've got some pipes on you, you're really loud,
but I would never say that you're obnoxious, or I
(36:37):
would never like, okay, like listen, Jenny, what's your fucking problem? Okay?
And then and then the second prong, prong too to
my fucking irritation today is also you give them the
opportunity to tell you what their fucking issue is, and
they squander it. They absolutely ps it up the wall.
(36:58):
They're like, oh no, no, everything's and then off they
are talking to Sandy and bevel or isn't that that's
actually a food breast? But whatever, this is a little pripple.
I'm husbry, so they're active.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
And what do you have in your rebels?
Speaker 9 (37:17):
Yeah? You know what controversial might be. But I've loved
this since I was a kid. Cheese and apple. Oh
good god.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
What's going on me?
Speaker 9 (37:29):
I don't know. I tried it when I was young
and I loved it. And Mon still makes that face
even though she's the one who makes it. Bobby, I
have toasted cheese and apple. I don't know what, but
I don't know. I can't I can't tell you why,
but I fucking love it.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
You sure there's no pine in front of that?
Speaker 10 (37:46):
No?
Speaker 7 (37:48):
So cheese and pineapple?
Speaker 9 (37:50):
No? No, Although I do like cheese and ham, cheese
and pineapple on a breamble or whatever. But that's my
secret favorite is a apple and cheese.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Yeah, I love I love ham cheese and avocado.
Speaker 9 (38:03):
Oh that's yummy.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
I like that truly. That one.
Speaker 9 (38:06):
I have had chicken, cheese and avocado. I don't think
about ham and avocado. That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
And what's the other one? I used to have? Baked beans?
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Yeah, bake bones all that's good. Throw a bit of
feather in there, a bit of trees.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Pork and barbecue sauce.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
Oh yeah, well I've always know you can't go you
can't go past the classic just cheese.
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Yeah, gotta put But do you put plastic cheese on?
Speaker 9 (38:31):
No? See, I have a rule. So this has turned
into a different rant, So I will expand on that
at another time. Phil, I've got a lot of feelings.
Speaker 8 (38:38):
But I'm glad you brought that up with us.
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Yeah, no, come whatever. Know I have very subtle, very
demure whatever it is there saying.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
If you just up this something, everyone rose, he does
have feelings. Yeah, just if you didn't notice.
Speaker 9 (38:52):
Yes, And sometimes that's why I have these guys here
to point those things out, just I guess, because I'm
not very clear and consults. So my rule is plastic
cheese goes on saladas and like premium so like those
like that, right, And you can even put a piece
of yeah on your suggy. You can even put a
(39:15):
plastic cheese on a piece of toast if you have
toasted the bread, taken it out and then put the
butter and then put the cheese on. You may not
put it ro so no, I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Do the toast, put the butter.
Speaker 9 (39:31):
On that, put the butter on the cheese, then put
the cheese on, and then bathing for twenty seconds. I'm
not cheese shaming, but the cheese. Yeah, laid the teacher.
Leave that cheese alive. Just stop it.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
That was a famous song, wasn't it.
Speaker 9 (39:52):
Oh yeah, you enjoyed it. So that is the rule.
But shredded cheese is from melting on top of things.
Shredded cheese bows in the brevel, bevel and sandy. It
goes in that, and it goes on top of patas
and whatever is a garnish. All of that not a problem.
Plastic cheese has only two two purposes. Sorry. Free Sometimes
(40:17):
when you run out of jets, but you think, fuck it,
I'll just have a piece of cheese. You can have
that cheese.
Speaker 7 (40:21):
That's not a problem.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
Sometimes I'd like to just have cheese as a snack.
We can talk about that in another episode entitled My
Obsessions and Vices. It's cheese. So but yeah, So to
finish off the other thing, they go around the corner
and then they talk shit about you behind your fucking back.
And then when you confront them. Oh yeah, that's my rent.
(40:45):
And also, and I am speaking as a woman, what
the fuck is wrong with that? I don't understand, Like
what is wrong with us? Like, yeah, men, I don't
get either. But then in some ways, I'm like, it's
just so much simpler. But then with women, this whole thing,
and look on stereotyping. Whatever, I have boobs, I'm allowed.
I just don't understand the whole fucking thing with the
(41:08):
with the I suppose just in general, people's inability to
just fucking say what they made.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, now you're right.
Speaker 9 (41:18):
If it just gives me the screaming ships, it does.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
I absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 9 (41:26):
So in SUSI I say, fuck them, fuck them all.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Now I'm with you, Rosie and Rich little later we'll
have to talk about Rosie if you don't mind, how
about we how about we try and cheer up just
to finish off the share. And yes it's dad jokes.
Speaker 7 (41:47):
He loves that jokes.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah, maybe you can go first. I got a willion
of them, but you can go first.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
The invector of the fairest will never met the inventor
of the merry go round.
Speaker 9 (42:00):
Okay, they get it is that the whole jay.
Speaker 7 (42:03):
Well one goes around that way.
Speaker 9 (42:05):
I thought there was sport.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
I was expecting a punch.
Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Today I learned that if you turn a canoe over,
you can wear as wear it as a hat because
it's capsized. Oh that's come on, it's pretty good.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
A weasel walks into the bar. The barman says, Wow,
I've never served a weasel before.
Speaker 7 (42:36):
What would you like? Pop goes the weasel.
Speaker 9 (42:39):

Because the brass.

bag with the gun.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Pop, there you go.
Speaker 4 (42:59):
I'm a bit worried I won't get past the first
line of this next one. I recently, I recently took
a pole. Okay, now you're over that. I recently took
a pole and found that one hundred percent of people
in the tent were angry when it collapsed.
Speaker 8 (43:20):
Didn't take us long, Andrew didn't take us long. Sh'm
not a common name these days, but back in the
medieval times, I used lets a lot.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
Oh all right, little known fact. Before the crowbar was invented,
crows simply drank at home.
Speaker 8 (43:42):
Okay, by all, here goes, I'll finish moll and off.
I was looking at my ceiling last night. It's not
the best ceiling in the world, but it's up there.
