You've got a pontoon boat. Yeah. And
Speaker:you take guys out that are disabled in wheelchairs that probably don't have regular access
Speaker:to getting out in the water. Yeah, that's right. One of the guys that you
Speaker:took out, you recently took him somewhere else afterwards. Yeah. I
Speaker:was like, well, I want to take him to the... You've made it popular. Man on
Speaker:Bloke on bloke. Couple of blokes on that boat. It could be turning guys gay
Speaker:I love seeing the old blokes and their discomfort in being able to deal with
Speaker:it. And they're kind of the guys you're going up to. When a bloke like you comes up
Speaker:Oh yeah, they're very uncomfortable. Gay test. A lot of people think
Speaker:I am gay. I'm not, but I suggest anyone that wants to know
Speaker:Welcome to the Better Bloke Podcast. I'm Matty. I'm Rob. And
Speaker:we're just a pair of average blokes on a mission to try and be a
Speaker:We're going to speak about all things highs and lows of what it feels like to be a
Speaker:bloke, plus speak to some legends along the way about what it takes to be a better
Speaker:bloke. Let's get stuck in. Welcome
Speaker:back to the Better Bloke Podcast. Now
Speaker:we have an absolute weapon of a bloke with us. I've got some stats
Speaker:here. So he is not only is he a household name
Speaker:throughout Australia, he's a leader within the community. He
Speaker:is a bloke that brings a heap of laughs to hundreds of thousands worldwide, a
Speaker:generous man, not only with his time, but also
Speaker:with what he gives back to the community. And he's the current world
Speaker:record holder for harpooning the elusive three
Speaker:In the house. Thanks for having me, gentlemen. I appreciate it.
Speaker:We got it. The reason we've got you on
Speaker:is everyone knows who you are as a character, but
Speaker:you also don't hide who you are as a bloke. And what we do, obviously with
Speaker:Better Bloke Project is we like to speak to blokes that are fucking
Speaker:Yeah, you could. Depends. Crushing
Speaker:You're doing some good shit. Yeah. I would say that's crushing
Speaker:it. I guess, yeah, different perspective. Look, if you say
Speaker:financially, no, I'm not crushing it.
Speaker:Happy, kinda. But
Speaker:yeah, I don't know about crushing it. I don't want to burst
Speaker:a bubble, but yeah, like, yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker:I'm crushing it. The whole thing is
Speaker:like we, so the better, like we like to have honest conversations and
Speaker:that's what you've just done is exactly what. We want to have bonus conversations.
Speaker:And it's probably more the point that people probably look
Speaker:at you and be like, he's crushing it. Right. So being able
Speaker:to relate to like who you are, just having a chat. Yeah. Would
Speaker:you say that like what you're, you're doing in
Speaker:terms of your work, your content, you're giving back, that you've
Speaker:been able to get at least fulfillment and being content with what
Speaker:Yeah. A hundred percent. That's been like the most
Speaker:rewarding. Yeah. Parts of it is being
Speaker:able to make people laugh and then give back, you know,
Speaker:I think if you enjoy what you're doing, that's kind of crushing
Speaker:All right. Cool. So he's crushing it. Okay. I'm crushing it.
Speaker:So a lot of people know, Willem
Speaker:Pelfish. Yeah. This big internet persona
Speaker:of a character. I think it's probably good to say that that
Speaker:is exactly what it is. It's a character. Yeah. Because you walked in
Speaker:Yeah. You're shitting yourself a little bit. So I had
Speaker:to do a quick pant change, but you know, I appreciate that. But
Speaker:That like that persona is not you as
Speaker:No. Uh, not at all. Um,
Speaker:a few beers in me. Yeah. Yeah. I'll fuck any man that's
Speaker:in front of me or, you know, say your dog or whatever. But
Speaker:yeah, generally now it's just people come up to me in public all
Speaker:the time. What's going on? You fucking dog. Like, and it's like, Oh fuck. Just
Speaker:say, Hey, what's going on? Like it gets a bit. But
Speaker:Did that take some adjusting for you to do? Yeah. Because obviously
Speaker:it wasn't a, it wasn't really a slow burn for
Speaker:Yeah, it was pretty hectic,
Speaker:really. It's kind of surreal in a way, you know?
Speaker:Yeah, very surreal. Like, still
Speaker:sometimes now I'm like, what the fuck? Like, how is this even possible? I
Speaker:get paid to do what I do, which
Speaker:is kind of weird. And then the position I'm in now with Adrian,
Speaker:with LMCT Plus and all that sort of stuff, it's like, Like,
Speaker:mate, there's people that would give their legs to work with a bloke like
Speaker:Taking it back to when it first started, I guess, was there intentions?
Speaker:You probably didn't expect it to go this big and this wild, but,
Speaker:you know, there was a point where you decided you were going to make some videos, chuck them on the internet.
Speaker:my friends have a laugh, pretty much. Because I had a personal Facebook page
Speaker:and I was like, oh, I'll just put them to there. And then
Speaker:someone said, make a Facebook page. I was like, yeah, OK, make an
Speaker:Instagram. And then it just kind of followed from there. And
Speaker:then like three videos in, it just kind of went skits. And
Speaker:then the merch came along. And then when I did the merch, I was like,
Speaker:holy fuck. Like, what is going on? This is psycho. It's
Speaker:Yeah. It's, um, yeah, it's mind blowing for sure. Yeah.
Speaker:At what stage did you sort of go from being
Speaker:like, I'm just going to do these stupid videos to, I
Speaker:guess, really realizing that you have some sort of power,
Speaker:like you have people watching you and you've, you've used that in
Speaker:a bunch of different ways. A lot of it's in the giving back, but you
Speaker:know, you talk about some pretty real issues too. And that's where. I
Speaker:see it as less of the character. When you jump on your stories and talk
Speaker:about like a specific thing that's bugging you or a specific thing
Speaker:that you're seeing out there in society, was
Speaker:there a point where you realized, hey, I got maybe a bit of responsibility
Speaker:I guess. Yeah, I
Speaker:don't know. Like before the power fish, I was a disabled
Speaker:support worker. So, and then aged care. So like, I always
Speaker:kind of, I don't know, I guess I
Speaker:cared a little, you know, cause if you look at anyone
Speaker:in that industry that works in there, the money's not amazing. Like, and
Speaker:the people that work in that industry are like so kind hearted and just beautiful
Speaker:Like care, have like give back in a way. Yeah, I
Speaker:guess so. I started seeing all this money coming in and I was like, fuck, like,
Speaker:I want to do something with it, you know what I mean? While this lasts
Speaker:kind of thing. And it made me feel so good. You
Speaker:know, like, you know, you go out and you give $5,000 of
Speaker:groceries to someone or something and like, Yeah. That
Speaker:feeling you get there is way better than spending $5,000 on yourself
Speaker:A hundred percent. I think that's a pretty special thing. The fact that you,
Speaker:before this whole sort of internet fame and whatnot, you were
Speaker:already doing good stuff in the community with, like you just said, disability work
Speaker:and aged care work. Yeah. What you were doing with giving back to the
Speaker:community, it's not Like, Oh, look at me. I'm
Speaker:doing social media. Good shit. Like you're actually just a good
Speaker:bloke that would have done it anyway. It's just that you've, you've found fortune.
Speaker:You've gone. Yep. Sweet. I'm going to do what I can with what
Speaker:I've got for as long as I can. Yeah. It's you've capitalized
Speaker:on, I guess. What,
Speaker:what you've gotten. Yeah. That's not just for getting views and all that sort of stuff. You're doing
Speaker:A lot of people do say that, but then there's probably 90% of
Speaker:people that are like, Like, you
Speaker:can do good things without filming it. And it's kind of like, yeah, I can.
Speaker:But at the same time, that's kind of how my whole business
Speaker:works, is kind of like including my audience. Like, they're
Speaker:participating in, you know, they help towards giving
Speaker:money to these people or whatever, you know. And that's why I film
Speaker:it. And it's so obvious it's why. And like, I can watch people's videos where
Speaker:they do the same sort of stuff. And like, I can see straight off the bat, like,
Speaker:And I get it. It's very apparent that the ones that do like, all you need to look at and you, if
Speaker:you're watching a video and you're like, fuck, this is cringe. Yeah. You
Speaker:know, it's not coming from the heart. Well, I don't get that from, from your shit, which
Speaker:is. No, I appreciate that. And I'm a pretty good judge of character in
Speaker:Yeah. And like, you know, just because people
Speaker:are doing it for clicks, who cares? Because at the end of the day, like
Speaker:that person is still receiving something, even if it is to, you
Speaker:know, for them to get clicks, you know, regardless if everyone
Speaker:went out and did it just for clicks, good on them, go fucking do it. They're still
Speaker:I can draw some comparisons to like Bloke's advice, right? Because obviously
Speaker:we grew to Infamy and you
Speaker:know there was a lot of clap back on offending people like all
Speaker:this shit we did, but we did do a lot of good shit too. We raised a
Speaker:hell of a lot of money and had this platform where these boys could help.
Speaker:So sort of morally and ethically, like we're able
Speaker:to look at it and be like, Oh, we're a positive force
Speaker:here. We're doing a lot more good than bad. Yeah. But we still get
Speaker:And like. No, not shitting on these people,
Speaker:but if they got a normal job, they're living their life. Like they're
Speaker:not helping many people at all. So yeah, we might take some people off
Speaker:by the way we do things, or maybe you won't agree with everything, but you've got
Speaker:to understand the big picture is you're helping
Speaker:so many people and it's just a
Speaker:very positive thing to do. Yeah. And they, I don't know, I
Speaker:I don't think it'll ever change. I think the internet's just getting
Speaker:more ruthless as time goes on. If you're, like,
Speaker:if you've got thin skin, you are not meant for the internet. The
Speaker:internet is fucking hectic. The amount
Speaker:of, like, the messages, like, you know, death threats
Speaker:or kill myself or, you know, that's why I try and
Speaker:keep my life private. I don't show my misses
Speaker:on video or, you know, I try
Speaker:and keep everything very, very private. because then it's just giving them
Speaker:ammunition. I don't want to give them that shit because then it just gives them something
Speaker:to, because eventually they'll say something that's going to trigger me, you
Speaker:know, and a lot of things don't, but they will get something that will trigger you
Speaker:one time. But yeah, like the internet, there's just, I
Speaker:don't know, man. It's kind of like, there's no consequences to, to
Speaker:what you say on there. You know what I mean? You read it
Speaker:every day, some of the comments, like, fucking, like, if you look at some of the
Speaker:people that are saying this shit, it's like, Jesus, like, have a
Speaker:Do you find yourself getting more wrapped up reading? Because I'm sure, like,
Speaker:I've gone right through your comments and that, and usually I'll try and throw
Speaker:some very... Yeah. I mean, it's,
Speaker:it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,
Speaker:it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,
Speaker:it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's
Speaker:a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,
Speaker:it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,
Speaker:...hectic ones come from. You know, the middle-aged,
Speaker:Mid-life crisis kind of guys, you know. And I get it. And like people
Speaker:hate the world and they're not happy or whatever. And
Speaker:it helps them. And fuck if it helps them, good on them. Keep doing it. But
Speaker:yeah, I'm just not really going to take it on board as much, you know. Yeah.
Speaker:You seem to have quite a lot of empathy for people doing
Speaker:it tough. So obviously even in those guys that
Speaker:are having a crack, like you can see that they
Speaker:got some shit going on. A hundred percent. You can see it
Speaker:in, you know, the groups that you're trying to help, especially like
Speaker:these older people, stuff like that. And you've
Speaker:spoken about it as well. Like when you're talking
Speaker:to people, not trying to base their life, the shit they're seeing on
Speaker:social media. What do you think are some of the
Speaker:core problems we're seeing in society? Some of the shit people are facing in
Speaker:2024, I think that inflation and just the cost of living is psycho.
Speaker:It is absolutely psycho. And like, if you look at humanity, like
Speaker:humans, right, we all, we have hope, you
Speaker:know, and I'm not a big religious guy at all, but if
Speaker:I'm in a cancer bed and I'm terminal, I'm dying, I'm going to start
Speaker:believing in God. You know what I mean? So I think with
Speaker:social media, that a lot of people on there aren't
Speaker:happy with their own lives. They're doing it tough financially. They can
Speaker:go on social media, they can look at these people and it kind of takes
Speaker:them away from reality and then puts them
Speaker:in this mindset of, you know, well, fuck, I
Speaker:want that. Why can't I have that? You know, and I try and say to everyone that,
Speaker:like, not everyone can be a boss. You
Speaker:know, those life coaches that say, hey, you can fucking be a boss. You
Speaker:can do anything you put your mind to. That is the biggest load of shit. You're going
Speaker:to do anything that they allow you to, like literally. If
Speaker:we're all rich, who are we going to have washing our
Speaker:car? Who are we going to have working at McDonald's at Hungry Jack's? It's
Speaker:just like, there has to be the lower class, middle class, high
Speaker:Yeah, don't get me started on life coaches. Yeah. Holy
Speaker:moly. The worst thing about them is that if
Speaker:that's their best business ever is their life coaching thing. Yeah.
Speaker:It's like you are in no position of authority to
Speaker:But that's how much like people are clinging on
Speaker:to hope and that is so desperate. Do you know what I mean? To be
Speaker:successful and have that status of a a Lamborghini or
Speaker:a Ferrari or a mansion and all that sort of shit. But the
Speaker:biggest thing I ever learned was you can have money,
Speaker:but at the end of the day, it's momentarily, it's
Speaker:not forever lasting happiness. You can go
Speaker:out and, I don't know, you can go to the fucking shop and buy something that
Speaker:you would never buy for five grand and you'd buy it and then
Speaker:you'd be like, oh yes, I bought this. And then the next day
Speaker:you're like, well, this is shit. Like, yeah,
Speaker:I don't know. I just think that money is just bullshit. It's not going to
Speaker:make you happy for a little or it depends on the person as well. Like, and
Speaker:from what I'm saying is like, my judgment is, is from what I see
Speaker:on social media. And I see people that are actually wealthy that aren't actually, you
Speaker:know, it's not all flaunting it like that, not flaunting, like it's
Speaker:not bullshit. They own this stuff. Like, but are they really happy? Do
Speaker:I don't know. I think that's the thing with social media in
Speaker:that aspect. It's all a whole lot real. And you've
Speaker:got all these people who are looking up to,
Speaker:you know, the rich, the wealthy, the famous, and they're like, fuck,
Speaker:I want this. I want that. I want that because they've got this. They're
Speaker:not saying the work that it took to get that. They're not saying if they're actually
Speaker:happy behind those photos that they're posting. And it, everyone
Speaker:forgets that, that, you know, it's, it's not.
Speaker:all Instagram or, you know, social media, like real
Speaker:Nah. And that, that's a big thing as well. Like I wish more people would
Speaker:talk about, you know, their own mental health issues or
Speaker:whatever. Like, cause I know a lot of people that like are big on social media, but
Speaker:they struggle so bad mentally, but they, they never talk
Speaker:about it. I think it would just help so much and it
Speaker:would make people feel as if they're not alone and they're not any different to
Speaker:everyone else, you know, instead of feeling like an outcast because they're not
Speaker:I think that that's something that sort of has given
Speaker:you, I guess, more ears because of how
Speaker:open you are with talking about like, you've spoken very comfortably about your struggles.
Speaker:It's so fucking hard to like. talk about your
Speaker:own personal issue. But you have to look at the big picture and
Speaker:the reward of that is that even if 100 people
Speaker:hear that and there's 20% of those people have issues, they're
Speaker:like, you know what, fuck this guy, he's talking about it
Speaker:and he's saying it to random people. I can put
Speaker:my hand up, I can tell my dad or I can tell my mum and
Speaker:not feel embarrassed or like
Speaker:Yeah. It's pretty powerful when we've, we've spoken about
Speaker:this before with a few of the other boys we've had on. We can go
Speaker:out there and we can talk to just say like the other week, we spoke to a hundred
Speaker:people in a room and we did all of this stuff, you
Speaker:know, through the Better Blake project. The message a
Speaker:lot of the time isn't what's being said. It's who
Speaker:says it. So you could say the same message that we're saying, but
Speaker:because it's coming from you, it just hits so differently.
Speaker:Yeah, I can see that for sure, 100%. Yeah,
Speaker:Yeah, big time. Like when Volkanovsky started, you
Speaker:know, talking about some of his struggles, one of the hardest men on the planet, right?
Speaker:And he's like, I got the demons. Yeah, he's got demons. And he's
Speaker:talking about that. And, you know, I think you can relate
Speaker:to it. Like that bloke is way tougher than me. He's
Speaker:stronger, he's got the willpower, he's got everything and he's struggling.
Speaker:I think when people with that sort of platform
Speaker:or respect talk about it, it
Speaker:I would love if some
Speaker:of these worldwide hackers could just hack into social media
Speaker:and just Fucking delete everything. And
Speaker:then everything's just wiped and it has to start all again. Just
Speaker:a big reset. Fuck, man, I've met
Speaker:some people in real life from social media, their egos
Speaker:are so fucking big and it's like, what? You
Speaker:fucking, you got followers on Instagram, you're not an A-list
Speaker:celebrity, man, like, calm down. But yeah,
Speaker:some people handle that shit a lot different, you know what I mean? Like some people might
Speaker:get popular on social media and then they just change. And
Speaker:they just only wanna hang around popular people and fucking suck
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. Look, you know, my views on clout chases, I'm
Speaker:not a big fan of it. Just be a good fucking
Speaker:person. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter if
Speaker:you've got half a million followers, if you've got 3 million followers, if
Speaker:you're a shit bloke or a shit person, you're a shit person.
Speaker:But that can be like, you know, due to their upbringing as
Speaker:well. Like their parents who they've been surrounded by their whole life and
Speaker:they don't know any better, you know, and they're not educated on different things.
Speaker:And that's what I say to a lot of people about mental health. Like, you know, there
Speaker:are people that don't suffer from mental health and, you know, they
Speaker:don't understand it and they aren't, you
Speaker:know, talking to their mates that are struggling with it
Speaker:or whatnot. And it's not necessarily their fault, because they're not educated on
Speaker:that subject of mental health, you know. So you can't, I
Speaker:don't really blame people for not understanding, you
Speaker:know what I mean? But the more that people talk about it, the more
Speaker:it will educate and finally get in some people's ears. Because some people, you
Speaker:know, you will talk about it on social media, and I get it. Like, they
Speaker:probably watch it, and then they fucking, they just keep, because they don't want to
Speaker:fucking, they don't understand it. But if they see it enough, you
Speaker:Do you find if people are saying that too much though, that, cause we, we see a lot of
Speaker:it on blogs advice where if people are
Speaker:posting the same, I guess, like trending
Speaker:topic about, you know, Oh, I'm down in the dumps about this. It
Speaker:then creates as good as it is people talking about it, then creates like a bit
Speaker:of a, a sheep mentality
Speaker:where everyone goes, Oh fuck, they're getting a few likes on this. I'm now going to where
Speaker:they may not necessarily, I'm not to say They are feeling that way or not.
Speaker:You never know when it's just text, but it sort of creates somewhat
Speaker:100%, that's a trend. I've seen it.
Speaker:And I can tell when people aren't talking legitimately about it.
Speaker:And at the end of the day, I think it's just the same kind of
Speaker:thing as giving back. Even though they're doing
Speaker:it for clicks, it's still talking about it. You know what
Speaker:I mean? So they may be fooling some people, but they're
Speaker:I think the healthy way to do it is kind of what we both do. Bloke's
Speaker:advice isn't a mental health page, right? It's
Speaker:bloke culture, it's cars, the boats, the tits, whatever. But
Speaker:then after all that entertainment, you know, it's a safe space
Speaker:to have these difficult combos. Much the same, you're making these funny
Speaker:videos, you're engaging people, you're getting people to know who you
Speaker:are as a bloke, and then you can give them that little sprinkle of, you
Speaker:know, what you're talking about. Yeah. And I think that's a
Speaker:more genuine way of going about it. And if All
Speaker:these people that are doing the other stuff to entertain people or
Speaker:build a platform just had a little sprinkle to say,
Speaker:hey, we're all relatable here. We're all humans. I
Speaker:think that's, you know, getting that conversation started so
Speaker:the people that aren't educated can
Speaker:start looking at that journey. Yeah. That's what it is too. It's
Speaker:a, you know, we're not taught it in schools how to have like
Speaker:good, stable mental health and have a good self care. I
Speaker:Yeah, they're definitely like my little fella is definitely learning a lot more about
Speaker:sort of talking about emotions and feelings and what not and
Speaker:But you know, like my dad, he's old school.
Speaker:Like he, he doesn't understand it. He's never, he probably
Speaker:has, but he's just like, he's old school. He's like, you know what, get
Speaker:on with it. But some people just can't get
Speaker:on with it, you know? And like. I think the best thing to do is just fucking hit
Speaker:it straight on and like, you know, address that situation
Speaker:that's going on, you know, and don't be ashamed or
Speaker:And that's the big thing. As much as, and particularly
Speaker:in the bloke side of things, everyone is
Speaker:too afraid of thinking what their mates are going to think of them. But like
Speaker:we've said it so many times, your boys would rather hear
Speaker:Yeah. And it's like, when, when you put it that way, it sort of makes everyone
Speaker:go like, fuck, okay. Maybe we should start talking a
Speaker:bit more. Yeah. No, that's very true. Obviously it's
Speaker:Yeah. It's very, very hard to talk to, even if it's your mates, you
Speaker:know, but it's, fuck, you got to choose. Do you want, do
Speaker:you want to be happy? You know what I mean? Like, if you want to
Speaker:be happy, you'll be happy and you'll get to there, but. It's about making
Speaker:that first step and putting, like, a plan in progress, you know, and take
Speaker:day by day, you know. And that's the other thing, like, talking
Speaker:about putting things into a plan and then you're like, all right, I'll go to
Speaker:the doctor and the doctor puts you in a mental health plan. And then you go to a psychiatrist
Speaker:and the psychiatrist just throws all this shit at you. And you're just like,
Speaker:fuck, I want all these pills. Oh, yeah, take this, take that, take this. And
Speaker:then you're just like, fuck. Look, sometimes medication works
Speaker:for some people, sometimes it doesn't, but I just think, like,
Speaker:the whole thing needs to just turn on its
Speaker:head. But there's too much money involved, you know, and that's
Speaker:the issue. Like, if you were to go to a doctor and talk about
Speaker:it and say, look, I'm feeling depressed, I've got anxiety, panic
Speaker:and all this sort of stuff. And then they said, okay, well, how much exercise are
Speaker:you doing? What are you eating? How much alcohol are you drinking? Do
Speaker:you do any drugs? You know, instead of, all right,
Speaker:here's a referral for a psychiatrist. And then you go there and they
Speaker:just fucking throw this shit down your throat, you know, so. But
Speaker:It's not going to change from the system. But I think if we
Speaker:educate some people, like we get messages constantly and
Speaker:all those things you just said, the exercise, the drinking. People
Speaker:come to us and they're like, oh, I'm feeling fucking awful. I'm
Speaker:at the edge. And we're like, are you doing
Speaker:this? And they are doing all the things they know
Speaker:they're not supposed to do. Like how
Speaker:about changing those things for a month and then just let's
Speaker:start there. Can you change those things for a month? Take some accountability
Speaker:of the situation. Because if you're eating shit, you're drinking too
Speaker:much, you're not getting outside, you're probably going to
Speaker:feel like shit. Yeah. So there's something to be
Speaker:said about people fucking taking a bit of accountability over
Speaker:A hundred percent. But at the same time, it's like, you can only, you
Speaker:can't help people that don't want to help themselves. And like, I've experienced that so
Speaker:much in my life with friends and whatnot, you know, having alcoholic
Speaker:friends and. try and help them and
Speaker:it gets to the point where it's just like you have to just cut
Speaker:cut it and cut them off and just be like fucking if they come
Speaker:good they'll come good but me staying here and putting all
Speaker:my time and energy into this while they just keep you
Speaker:know just keep getting in that cycle it's just like it's not
Speaker:Yeah it's a tough predicament. Moving on
Speaker:from there Something that you
Speaker:were very well known for, which it surprises
Speaker:me that you haven't been awarded from, I guess, the Australian government
Speaker:for this. Oh shit. Yeah. This like, this is, this is
Speaker:how big you are in this scene. Yeah. You've almost normalized
Speaker:or made it, I wouldn't say acceptable because it
Speaker:is acceptable, but you've made it popular. Man on man action.
Speaker:Bloke on bloke. It's funny. This
Speaker:is real funny. You said that. Like I have had messages off kids. It's
Speaker:not kids, but you know, high school students or other kids, but
Speaker:they're like, you know, they'd say like, you, you, you've helped, you've made
Speaker:it easier for me to come out and like talk to
Speaker:my mates about it, you know, because everyone at school saying bloke
Speaker:on bloke, or you ever had a man like, you know, and it's created this
Speaker:kind of I don't know, something around
Speaker:it where people have all just had a laugh. But at the same time, I've had the thing
Speaker:where... But you know the one thing, I've never had a gay person come
Speaker:No, because as much as you're doing it in a humorous way, you
Speaker:are normalizing it in exactly what you just said with
Speaker:the messages you're getting. Like you're making it... It not that
Speaker:this day and age, there shouldn't be a fucking issue with it, but then obviously there
Speaker:is still some issues going around some people, but you're making it
Speaker:acceptable for guys to comfortably come out cause they can go, Oh
Speaker:I could be turning guys gay as well.
Speaker:You ever thought about that? I mean, I'm having those thoughts right now.
Speaker:It's normalizing it. I love seeing the old blokes and their
Speaker:discomfort in being able to deal with it. Like, I think that's the
Speaker:best bit. Cause it's like, you know, my dad's same as yours. Yeah.
Speaker:Hard country boy, right? And they're
Speaker:kind of the guys you're going up to. And whether or not they're
Speaker:getting a little bit more liberal in those thoughts, when a bloke like
Speaker:you comes up and starts talking your shit about that, they're
Speaker:uncomfortable. Oh yeah, they're very uncomfortable. And it's
Speaker:funny to watch, but for the younger generation, it's probably
Speaker:like a point to be like, oh, I'm not like that. Like,
Speaker:Yeah. And a lot of people think I am gay, but I was like, nah,
Speaker:I'm not. Like I have kissed a dude, I pashed a dude. And
Speaker:that was so fucking hectic. That was just before with Matty, wasn't
Speaker:it? It was so brutal, man. Like I was so drunk, but
Speaker:I knew what I was doing. And I
Speaker:wanted my mate to take a photo of it so I could post it on my water
Speaker:We'll do a handy later. Like who's giving, who's receiving.
Speaker:All right. Yeah. Sweet. It's going to be a quick one. I'm
Speaker:Yeah, go on, carry on. Anyway, there was this gay guy at this Eddie's
Speaker:Crub House just in Cooley here. And, um, he was cool as man.
Speaker:It's fucking not my kind of guy. Cause I'm not really into
Speaker:Anyway, I told him, I said, can we just kiss? Because I just wanted to
Speaker:peck. But next minute, it was just like a full, and
Speaker:it went for like 20 seconds. It was full on. And
Speaker:after, I was like, holy shit, my mate. He was like,
Speaker:what the fuck? What's going on? And I was like, I don't know. And then I went
Speaker:home, and I posted it. And then I went home and woke up
Speaker:to all these missed calls and stuff. And my
Speaker:mom was like, fuck. What the hell is this? She wasn't angry,
Speaker:she was cool as a bat, but she was like, I didn't know you were
Speaker:gay. And that moment when
Speaker:I woke up, I was like, yes, I know I'm not gay,
Speaker:I'm not kidding, man. Because I tell you, look, if
Speaker:you, it doesn't matter if you're drunk, right? But if you're out
Speaker:and you're kissing a girl, right? You're passionate. Nine
Speaker:Anyway. So then, cause I didn't get a boner. So
Speaker:Nah, man, trust me. Cause
Speaker:he recorded it video as well. So I've had to, I've
Speaker:watched it back heaps, but the footage is now gone.
Speaker:Yeah. And I was like, nah, I didn't enjoy it. But, um,
Speaker:yeah, I suggest anyone that wants to know if
Speaker:they're going, I'll just go out there and pass your bloke. You'll know straight
Speaker:Oh, um, something like, obviously you
Speaker:do like power fish as a character, but you do actual characters
Speaker:Yeah. We fuck around with like these, um, latex SFX
Speaker:kind of masks and stuff like that. And. Yeah, no,
Speaker:yeah, there's a few. But people are weird, man. They get
Speaker:so attached to something they like. And then if you get
Speaker:rid of it, and then you bring something else in new, they're like, no, I don't want fucking that.
Speaker:I don't want this. It's like when all
Speaker:my content at the start was all 100% legit,
Speaker:right? But then I got to a position where
Speaker:I was kind of like, I was talking about mental health and I was,
Speaker:you know, I started having regret and
Speaker:then I started to feel sorry for these people that I'm going up and pesterizing, right?
Speaker:So I was like, all right, let's just fucking stage it.
Speaker:Like at the end of the day, it's entertainment. And
Speaker:as long as we're making a few people laugh, who gives a fuck? But I don't want to really go out
Speaker:there anymore and fuck people's days. So
Speaker:yeah, people got really, really up. Like they still kept watching it
Speaker:and it helped the videos when they all comment going fake, fake, fake, bullshit,
Speaker:fake. It just made it go more viral. So, um,
Speaker:but yeah, like what was
Speaker:Well, I was going to say it's hard now cause
Speaker:you're such a recognizable figure. Like we're in Tweed, it's not a big place.
Speaker:Nah, and that's why we had the masks to do other stuff like that. Um,
Speaker:but yeah, it's so funny cause like people would even say
Speaker:fake when the video was real. And then
Speaker:it was like, I want to, I want to eventually do a video
Speaker:where I show all the videos and I'll be like, this is real, this
Speaker:is real, this is fake. Cause people would just be like, people
Speaker:are weird and they're kind of. Not very intelligent, some of the people that
Speaker:Yeah, they're fucking space cadets. You
Speaker:know what? Fuck them all. I like the people that support
Speaker:me. You know, I think I've got a
Speaker:pretty good crowd. I've got some fuckwits in there too, but they're
Speaker:all, all there for the journey. And, um, yeah,
Speaker:to those fuckwits get fucked. Suck
Speaker:That's beautiful. One of, um, one
Speaker:of the things which, and it's, it's only just recently started resurfacing. I've
Speaker:seen, I don't know if Ladbob will repost it or something like that,
Speaker:but you've got a pontoon boat. Yeah.
Speaker:What is it? Is it a pontoon boat? Is it a pontoon? It's a pontoon boat.
Speaker:It's a pontoon boat. And you take guys out that are
Speaker:disabled in wheelchairs that probably don't have regular access to getting out
Speaker:in the water. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. One of the guys that you took
Speaker:Yeah. So that was really cool, man. Like,
Speaker:yeah. People email and they say, Hey,
Speaker:can we come out in the boat? And then we G it up. Anyway. So. He
Speaker:came out with his mom and then his mate and then we started
Speaker:talking with his mom and she said that, you
Speaker:know, does his Johnson still work? Has he got a sex life, you know? Because
Speaker:it's still normal. They're people, you know? And she'd
Speaker:never really talked about it with anyone. And then I was like, well,
Speaker:I want to take him to the brothel. And we were fishing at Jack Evans. I
Speaker:could see the brothel. It was right there. You can see the
Speaker:doors and everything. I was like, let's take him there. And she goes,
Speaker:yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, let's take him. And that was amazing, man.
Speaker:And he was so excited. Obviously, because he'd been in that wheelchair, he
Speaker:had a car accident, major quadriplegic. He's
Speaker:not verbal, but he could move his leg and a little bit
Speaker:of his arm. And that was cool. We
Speaker:took him there and didn't give him any notice, just took him there. And they accommodated him
Speaker:and set up a bed downstairs. And we had to carry him in
Speaker:and put him on the bed. Then obviously
Speaker:everyone else left, but me and him. And
Speaker:then I sat in the corner and watched
Speaker:her have sex with him and I started jerking off and no,
Speaker:that didn't happen. We put him on the bed
Speaker:and then we left and then we let them do their thing. Yeah. But
Speaker:unfortunately, rest in peace to that gentleman. He's recently
Speaker:Yeah, at least we got to give him a little bit of something, because
Speaker:he loved it, and the lady said he loved it. But
Speaker:yeah, she went into full detail, actually, and the mother passed on the
Speaker:information to us. And we're like, shit, this is. Yeah,
Speaker:There is. Well, they've actually, Maddy recently just learned that that
Speaker:used to be part of the NDIS. Oh, nice. Took it off. They've taken
Speaker:it away now, which yeah. I don't know
Speaker:if I agree with taken away. Cause it's, that's
Speaker:What? So the carer has to jerk them off. What
Speaker:Man, I'll tell you, when I was doing aged care, just around the corner
Speaker:at Kirra here, actually, and this fucking guy, man, this old guy,
Speaker:and because when you'd have to shower the men, obviously if they're not circumcised, you'd
Speaker:have to pull the foreskin back and clean their
Speaker:jaunts and their knob. Yeah, and
Speaker:he's fucking grabbed my hand, trying to put it on his... He
Speaker:touched right at you. Man, I was like, fuck, am I just going to
Speaker:have to jerk this guy off, like, get him to leave
Speaker:When they get that old, like, do you still finish? Or are you just doing it for
Speaker:They're the most corniest, active, sexually sexual
Speaker:Oh, they are fucking... Yeah. No
Speaker:shit. Like the amount of affairs that go on when the couples are
Speaker:Well, they reckon nursing homes are like really bad for STDs too.
Speaker:It's a fucking swingers club in there. Yeah. And do you know that some of
Speaker:those medications they do for Alzheimer's and stuff, it kick drives,
Speaker:like the sex drive, it ramps it right up. The actual meds are making them horny.
Speaker:So, man, I was at her 80th birthday party a couple years and there
Speaker:was this chick 85 years old. She was
Speaker:randy. She was on the hunt at this party. You could tell that.
Speaker:Would you? Oh, probably definitely not. I would have broken her, I
Speaker:reckon. If it was dark? Look,
Speaker:You can say that I'm not going. She,
Speaker:no, she, she was grinding on some old blokes on the dance floor. So I
Speaker:Wow. Incredible. See, there you go. It doesn't discriminate. You
Speaker:know, we all have needs. Whether you're, your body's not
Speaker:able to, to, to walk around like all of us or, um,
Speaker:Oh, I just lay there anyway. Starfish mode. It's
Speaker:Oh God. So what do you
Speaker:reckon is on the cards for you? Like, are you just like coming
Speaker:up with the new content ideas? You want to keep this thing going? You're doing with your
Speaker:I'm just cruising along, man. And,
Speaker:um, I don't know, maybe I was thinking like, I
Speaker:don't know, I'd done a stand-up comedy set last Sunday
Speaker:in Brisbane and then I was kind of like, fuck, that
Speaker:could be kind of fun. Just going up and just like, you
Speaker:roast a crowd and then you can just like. tell stories
Speaker:and make people laugh. That's another way to make people laugh, I guess. So
Speaker:maybe that, but I don't know. I'm just going to keep hanging
Speaker:on to fucking Adrian's dick while he drags me along. How
Speaker:Yeah, because that's what I mean. It's a character and he's fucking
Speaker:weird as shit, man, with like Dicks
Speaker:Real hectic. They full get their dicks out
Speaker:Nah, nah, nah, nah. Troy's
Speaker:not very large. Adrian's kind of. Average. It's
Speaker:kind of got a good color. Like it's kind of tanned. You know, I
Speaker:He's got that going on. I reckon, I heard you have
Speaker:Yeah, we'll get them out. It's not much, but you know, I
Speaker:We had, um, we had the best dick in Australia come on
Speaker:I went to school with him. Matty went to school with him. So he's seen like the
Speaker:Is he doing the OnlyFans? Yeah, he's doing, he just won- He's tall?
Speaker:He's tall, yeah. Yeah, that's a guy then, yeah. Yeah, big bloke, yeah. We went
Speaker:to school together, so I saw it when he was 14. Oh, cool. But it wasn't weird, because I
Speaker:was 14. But- Thanks for clarifying that. Yeah, you gotta clarify
Speaker:that shit. Yeah, you do. But he just won the
Speaker:best male performer in the big dick category at the
Speaker:Pornhub Awards. So he's internationally- Wow, get fucked. Yeah,
Speaker:he's top tier. Oh, he be making some good money. He's making good money. But man,
Speaker:I'm pretty sure you could get surgery to increase the girth
Speaker:But a lot of women don't like massive cocks, man. I wouldn't
Speaker:know. No, that's why you have to go into the industry. Because you've got to think about this, right?
Speaker:I've only really discovered this in the last, what, fucking five
Speaker:years. But a penis does nothing for a woman.
Speaker:It doesn't, it doesn't do anything. The penis going in and out of the vagina is
Speaker:That's exactly right. And the whole time I'm here thinking like all
Speaker:Still, it's, it's a decent thing. That is a full size wine
Speaker:Oh shit. That's a wine bottle. Yeah. That's a fuck.
Speaker:It's weird, man. The knob goes real small. Usually the knob's
Speaker:He's got red hair, eh? He's a bit gingery. Yeah, I can see his pubes
Speaker:See, that's the gay test right there. You need to
Speaker:take that to know if you're gay or not.
Speaker:Nah, but yeah, nah, I'm not even kidding. I didn't even realise that about the,
Speaker:Look at this. Sex tips with Powerfish. There we
Speaker:Think about it. Like, man, all my ex chicks must have just been
Speaker:fake and everything. That's amazing. But you finished, so that's
Speaker:It's just going on a tangent. This
Speaker:On that note, I think we're going to round this one out. But thanks so much
Speaker:for coming in, man, from like talking about that heavy stuff to
Speaker:your life lessons for taking guys to brothels. I think it's
Speaker:I'm super excited to see what. You've got coming
Speaker:out and where are you going to go with
Speaker:Don't have anything coming. I'll say this quick. We literally,
Speaker:because I don't have a team, it's literally me and a filmer. And
Speaker:then it will be like, we work week to week. What are we doing this week?
Speaker:We literally just think on the spot what we're doing pretty much, you know, so.
Speaker:It's kind of good having it that way, but I kind of wish I did have like a full team, you
Speaker:know, cause then you could have better production and whatnot. But yeah,
Speaker:This, this has changed your life saying all this, hasn't it? It's
Speaker:It's fucking ridiculous in here, man. Yeah. It takes some
Speaker:of the load off you. You know what we should have done? We should have done it naked. I'm
Speaker:No, we just blur the crutch. I'll do it. You come back and do another one.
Speaker:I mean, I'm open to it. I'm open to it. Can we do it in summer? I
Speaker:don't have the length to do it in winter. We'll
Speaker:No, well, I've never seen it. Oh, maybe there is a podcast that do it, but. I
Speaker:don't know, because it'd make the conversation like, you know, you'd be
Speaker:Power fish, fully exposed. Yeah. Let's roll it back in a couple
