 went to some mates where Jim doesn't own a cell phone. And I said to them, because he doesn't want to be constantly on call, constantly interrupted, because people will get a cell phone, but then the cell phone gets them. It takes them over. And you see they're just in transport. And it's happened to 40. I remember last time I saw my father. So it was 2014. It was June of 2014. And I figured I'd probably never see my father again. And I gotta tell you, all I was thinking about, during my last meeting with my father, was I couldn't get any cell phone reception. Like that's all I was thinking about. So cell phones can very easily destroy your humanity. People aren't able to pay attention to conversations. They're distracted and jerky, and they're interactions with people. Their attention span gets shortened. Their posture gets shortened. I think people get deformed by their cell phone. So people get the cell phone, but then the cell phone gets them. Do I have a right, Jim? Absolutely. So why don't you put it in your words? Why don't you own a cell phone? I'm in command, not the cell phone. Yeah, exactly. What's that Seinfeld, Seinfeld? You're a master of your domain. That's the one. He's a master of his domain. So you like to ride the ferry without getting pinged and beeped and just having nice pleasant. Half an hour on the ferry so you can have some peace and quiet. That's right. Or are you chatting up strangers? No. No. Very. They're very proper men. They're very respectable. They're respectable men. Don't go there. Don't go there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keeping on the straight there. Boy, man 40 has just been in Australia for a few days and I've been already offended by a lot of very proper people. So I really need to... What did you say? Be as accused. Well, like... Tell us. Well someone mentioned that they had been at a particular institution for two years and then moved on to another institution. And I said, oh, they catch you with your hand in the tail. And I took it the wrong way. Right, I guess that wasn't appropriate. Or I got to contact some friend from childhood. And I'm blocked. Like I'm blocked on Facebook from, like, you know, good childhood friend. Like, we were friends on Facebook. COVID. Right. Intrusion. And last year, I didn't go either. Did you go to the protest yesterday? No, I didn't. I worked. All right. Saturday I work. So were your friends at the protest? Is that your problem? Some of them, some of them. Some one or two went. So do you think Australia went a little overboard? With its lockdown restrictions? Oh, of course it did, yes. Yes. So, I mean, just recovering, I think. I think the damage done to people, businesses, psychological damage, economic damage, is irreparable, I think. That's my opinion. But overall, the Australian economy seems pretty strong. Well, yes. Well, it depends. It depends on America, I suppose, isn't it? Yeah. Eventually. You know what they say? America sneezes. Yeah. What does Australia get? Everyone else gets the flu. Fluent cold, yeah. So it's all globally interconnected. Yeah. We're all globalists now. Yeah, absolutely. We're all multi-coded, we're all globalists. Yes. So what do you think about Mark Latham? He seemed to be obsessed with Mark. I like him. He's a forthright bloke, former leader of the party. Yeah, I like him a lot. Pauline Hanson's party. I honestly, yeah, I honestly like him. He's like a Ferdinand Gavazzi. Yes, he is. I think he's genuine. Yeah. Better than the other politicians here. Yeah, yeah. But the funny thing about those who don't know about Mark, he used to be a true blue labour person. Right. And deputy leader of the opposition. He was the full leader. He ran against John Howard. Exactly, yes. On federal level. As a young man, too. Absolutely, yes. He was slated to be Australia's next prime minister. And what I like about him, he does not live in one of those posh suburbs. He lives out west. We're always used to live down towards Campbelltown way. All right. So that's, you know, I like that about him. He seems to be a genuine guy. Mark. Good old Mark, mate. Yeah, so it's Sunday, 12.54 p.m. here in New South Wales. So it's apparently in Los Angeles. It's about 7.54 p.m. Saturday night. And what do you think of Pauline Hansen? Oh, I like Pauline. She's a fighter. She's a fighter, yeah. She's not that articulate or educated. Yeah. But she likes Australia. Very patriotic. And you might even say protectionist. Yeah, yeah, she is. Yeah, the sophisticated, you know, white wine crying crowd. I like her. You see, in that way, she's genuine. She, you know, most important. She's from Ipswich. She's from Ipswich. Yeah, it's correct. Very working class suburb of Ipswich. She's from Queensland, though, yes. She used to own a coffee shop as well. Yeah, yeah. She's, I like her very much. She'll, she'll go well in the next elections, next election. Federal elections are in April, May or next year. At the latest, right? At the latest, yeah. The Prime Minister can pull the elections at any time, correct? Right, right. So all the minor parties, like Australia first, and Craig Kelly. Yeah. I really like Craig Kelly. Is he still with the Lederers? Is he a Liberal Party member? No, he's an Independent. Oh, he's now Independent. Correct. He used to be part of the Liberal Party now. He's still in Parliament, but he's an Independent, yeah. And Palmer, the multi-millionaire. Yeah, Clive Palmer. He's the one who's forking out the bill, who's paying all the money here. So what do you think of global warming? Global warming. Yeah. Do we have to remake Australia's economy to fight off global warming? My argument is when has science become democratic? Right. If you've got a thousand scientists or climatologists saying there is climate change and you have half a dozen or a dozen equally qualified people arguing that it has no effect. Right. Um, well, which is that, as we know, if you're a mathematician and you say 2 plus 2 equals 4, everyone, including professional mathematics professor with a degree of contact. Well, everyone has to be on board with net zero now. It seems like it's got Morrison. What are the alternatives? Right. There are no alternatives. It's like the, it's the reigning wisdom. You know, everyone wants to go electric and so forth. I'm all for it. However, what are the alternatives? I mean, what are the repercussions? No one talks about that. Yeah, the damage to the economy. Oh, exactly. Eating as I see it. Right. Um, to the Third World. Right. So-called disadvantage to Third World countries. In other words, take down the borders, which is global, is it? And I do sound conspiratorial, but I think it is not. My personal opinion. I'm so impressed with the quality of life here in Sydney. I want to move here. Oh, no. It's like- Well, what about LA? LA will miss you, mate. Oh, yeah. But it's, I mean, you can walk around and you not get threatened. There aren't, you know, raving loonies every, you know- I have to say I was laughing when you said, which parks are dangerous? Yeah, they don't have dangerous parks here in Sydney there. I was walking all around Central Business District and there was no problem. It was just clean streets. It's like a cohesive society. There's high trust. People get along. There aren't like whole, there's not like 15% of the population. It's undesirable and everyone's afraid of them. No. We do have our, like every society, we do have our underclass. Yeah. They're not on the Eastern, they're not on Eastern Sydney. No, they're not. And many members of the underclass in Eastern Sydney. No. Well, in a west or north shore, no. It's an out of west. Wow. Cagooly, is that how you pronounce it? Cagooly and Bondi and- No, Coogee, Coogee. Coogee, Coogee. Oh, man. Coogee, Coogee. Coogee. Wow. Coogee Beach, Bronte Beach, Bondi Beach. They're all next to each other. Beautiful shops. And then, oh, you can go swimming in the ocean. You can leave your computer behind. You can leave your watch behind. You can leave your iPhone behind. You can leave your wedding ring behind. You can leave everything behind. And it's still there when you get back. That is amazing. It's- What's the situation in America? Oh, you have to watch your stuff in America. A lot of stuff gets pinched. Like, you're always kind of on guard. You're always careful unless you're in Malibu. Malibu is pretty safe. And West LA is pretty good, but it's not as clean. Coogee Beach is lovely, yeah. See, you're going to Narrabeen, or Palm Beach up north. They're nice. They're like northern beaches. All these beaches you mentioned are all in Sydney. I just deeply feel at home. I feel calm, relaxed, at ease, happy, outgoing. That's great. I just feel at ease here. Probably the pace of life is a bit slower than in America. Especially LA. And people are like me. Like, I can get along with people. So what's that famous constanza saying? It says if you can't live in New York, New York will eat you alive. Yeah. Is that what you're trying to say? I'm saying that I've fallen in love with Sydney, and I want to move here. And I'm just trying to put that out there into the world and see if I'm missing something. Maybe I've forgotten something, but... Now, were there major bushfires through here two years ago? Yes, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. A lot of people have to leave. Now, they call it the Blue Mountains because the eucalyptus emit an oil that combines... We can't go in now today. You can see the fog. But just here in Canterbury, beautiful mountains. And they all are blue because of the... The eucalyptus, right? Yes, correct. And the mist in the oil is great. That's why they call it the Blue Mountains. Unfortunately, not today. No worries, mate. Next time, alright? Oh man, I love riding the ferry, mate. It's a very pleasant experience. Yeah, it is, actually. And you like the CBD too, right? That's a very nice area, Central Bested. Oh yeah, yes, it's very... Now they've got the trains. You've got buses. You've got trains. You've got trains, planes, automobiles. Everything! Trains, planes, automobiles, ferries. It's like... And then you just swipe up with your Opel card. I got my public transport Opel card. And I'm good to go. I had some trouble getting my... Everything working, but now I've got my Opel card. So now I can just swipe and go. Correct. And it's really easy. You just use your Google Maps and you just hit the train icon and it tells you the public transport options. They're very happily in Sydney without a car. Oh yeah. Well, where I live, there's no necessity for a car. I mean, it's a nice bonus. It's sort of central. It's very central. You've got a bus in the ferries. Right. You use that rather than the car. And the public transport is safe. People aren't getting rid on it. No. No, it's very safe here. We can call it dangerous. It's not a horrifying experience. No, no. It's like in New York on the subways, they stand close to the wall as possible. Really? Because the lunatics like to push people onto the tracks in front of onrushing. What? And you're kidding me. No. That's New York. What? Why? Because certain people are anti-social and so... You're kidding me. So people in the subways in New York, they stand as close to the wall as possible. Because they don't want to get pushed onto the tracks in front of onrushing train. Or just some lunatic, you know, just punch you out. I don't know. Put a knife in you. Just for fun, right? Yeah, just for fun. You're kidding me. Right? It's like... Oh yeah, I haven't seen any dobermans in Sydney. That's nice. They're like any really dangerous dogs. They all seem like really hospitable and friendly. French poodles, eh? Yeah, they all seem like gay little dogs. I haven't seen any dobermans or one of the other rottweilers. What are you trying to say about that? In LA, there are a lot of dobermans and rottweilers. Why? Maybe people like them. Yeah, certain people like killer dogs. And those two breeds are responsible for like 98% of all deaths from dogs. And, uh... I get it. So, yeah, you walk around in LA and there's a doberman, there's a rottweil. And a single doberman can ruin your whole day. Oh, yeah. I get it. St. Mary's, that's a magnificent cathedral, mate. No, I can't. I'll give you a tour, as I said, before you go. But you must be very proud of that place, right? Oh, yeah. Well, it brings back memories. It was a very, very traditional sort of education. Yeah. Now, in those days, they taught us, you know, besides English, you had to learn either Latin or Greek. Right? So, you know... What did you study? Oh, Latin. All right. Hydro-majestic ballroom. Yeah. So, what does that mean? Why do they call it Hydro? That's on top of the mountains. But what's the Hydro connection? Well, you can see the whole mountains from here. It's a big... But you can't see it now. Oh, is this Hydro water power? Is that what it is? No, no, just... Hydro, what? I'm not in your orphan. It's out of my thing, but... Okay. But, um... Now, getting back to the education you get here, I was a Catholic school, so in those days, they used to, you know, Christian brothers. Right. Uh, educated. Most of them were Irish. Right. Brother, old Brian brother. Brother Kelly. You say, we'll call your parents. Usually, a single mom comes and she'll text the teacher. Right. Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. Go ahead. Is there a Chinatown in Sydney? Yes, it is. Where is the Chinatown? Next to Central. Yeah. I'm, uh, Haymarket. Haymarket, that's the Chinatown. Yes. And what are your favorite parts of Sydney? What... Have you been to the Opera House? Yeah, of course I have. Yeah, how'd you like that? Well... I love it here. I love it there. You should go there often, actually. Often. I'm a member. Look at it. I do go there... on occasions, yes. There's various concerts, it's over. It's divided. It's got two or three auditoriums. Yeah. You've got the main opera house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you've got the other auditoriums. Right, right. Concerts and so forth. Did you go in by any chance? No. Why did you go in? I did as... It was closed. I didn't take a tour, I guess. I'll take a tour one day. Okay, we're entering Blackheath. Okay. I'll talk to you guys later. We'll come back with Professor Drew Fraser. Ask him how the Sydney Jewish single scene is. He's not Jewish, mate. He doesn't know the single Jewish scene. Well, I... He's a happily married man, right? No. Happily married man. No, I do know through a friend, as I said, the friend I mentioned earlier on. But he's in Melbourne, unfortunately. Yeah. He found a lovely non-Jewish woman, so... He upped it out of the tribe.
