Ever laughed your way into bravery? That’s the energy today as we spar over Turkish Delight, swap theme park war stories and hatch a plan to climb Wild Horse Mountain with snacks as our courage tokens. Oscar’s unfazed by heights and eager for action; I’m the self‑proclaimed scaredy‑cat trying to keep my cool while getting lovingly roasted by a fearless twelve‑year‑old. Between the banter, we uncover what really helps people face fear: small steps, honest check‑ins and rituals that make tough moments feel lighter.
We dig into why Air Force Cadets caught Oscar’s eye without the pressure of a pilot dream. It’s about hands‑on skills, drones, structure and the kind of steady challenge that grows confidence one session at a time. From ride queues to drop towers, we break down practical ways to manage nerves at theme parks: start with mid‑tier thrills, use playful exposure, share clear details about what to expect and pair each push with a reset. You’ll hear how a viewing platform and a bag of favourite chocolate can turn a panic spiral into a proud memory, and why humour is a surprisingly powerful tool for resilience.
There’s a quick science nugget too: how colour actually works. The Turkish Delight wrapper becomes our prop for explaining light absorption and reflection, a simple reminder that perception is about what bounces back. That lens applies to fear and fun alike—change the context, change the story, and the experience shifts. By the end, we’ve mapped a path for anyone who wants to feel braver without pretending to be fearless, and we’ve invited you into our candy feud with an open poll and open minds.
If you smiled, learned something or felt seen in your own fear of heights, tap follow, share this with a friend who needs a nudge and drop your vote on Turkish Delight. Your stories and ride tips help shape what we try next—what should we climb or ride together?

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.239
Welcome to another edition of Beyond the Plan.
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:19.440
I've got my mate Oscar here.
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:20.000
How are you?
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:20.559
Good.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.160
Happy what's today?
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:22.960
Tuesday?
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:23.679
I don't know.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:25.120
Happy Happy Tuesday.
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.399
I've been seen you for a while.
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.679
Last time I think I saw you were you're about to go camping and you're on holidays.
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:30.640
Oh yeah.
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.039
And you were doing lots of all these fun facts and made me feel very unintelligent.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:35.679
Is that a word?
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.280
Can I say unintelligent?
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.200
Um check with Oxford Dictionary or whoever.
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.719
Or whatever dictionary.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.280
Oh my gosh, that's what's been now.
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.600
We've had a bit of a conversation in the car on the way here to the podcast studio in North Lakes.
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.719
But um so we might go over some ground we've already covered.
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.320
In high school now?
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:55.200
Yeah.
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:55.840
Out of ten?
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.119
Ten's awesome.
00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:58.640
Zero is hate it.
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.600
What is it at the moment?
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.640
On generally.
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.159
Um I don't know.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.439
Give me a number.
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:06.640
Is it five?
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.680
Okay, so halfway.
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.280
What was primary school out of ten?
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:10.640
Five.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.079
So it's about the same.
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.040
He's a bit distracted.
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.159
He's treating his microphone like it's a little joystick going round round in here.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.879
If you start licking it like an ice cream, I'm I'm out.
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:23.040
Okay.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.000
I wouldn't do that.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:26.560
No, okay.
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.000
I don't know about you.
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:28.640
Alright.
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.159
Well, out of five, how you feeling?
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.599
Five's awesome, one's terrible.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.159
Go.
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:34.959
Five.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.000
Nah.
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.040
2.5.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.560
Only half.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.239
Only half.
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:41.519
I don't know.
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.560
Well, you're just talking talking all up on the way here.
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.079
I was a bit worried about you.
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:54.879
If people can remember Oscar on the podcast, which he speaks very well and articulates things very well, there's often lies that come out of his mouth, and it's often around the same theme.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Well, it's often around the same theme we talk about.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:07.599
And probably I know the listeners are getting sick of hearing this theme from you and me, but I asked you again on the way here whether your taste has improved, and obviously it has not.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.719
Turkish delights are the best.
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.240
I didn't actually mention Turkish delight, but that okay, that's what you think.
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.000
That's what you think we're going to talk about.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.960
I reckon, wait, is there a comment section on the podcast?
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.080
There can be, yes.
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:22.560
Yes.
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.800
Do you think we should have a poll of what people think?
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.360
Yeah.
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.360
Everyone should vote whether Turkish delights are good or not.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.120
Okay, now you're you're a bit biased because you love Turkish light, but let's be fair, let's be honest.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:42.479
Do you think the results of the poll would be positive or they'd be negative based on the general population's taste?
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:48.800
They'll be good and they'll say Turkish delights are the best.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.840
Okay, well, there you go, listeners.
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:59.280
We're going to put a poll out and you can actually write some comments about um whether you think, and now go to GW Unspoken, beyond the plan, put your comments in there.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.840
What's your thoughts are for Turkish Delight?
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.960
Me, I'm more of a like a coconut block, like a bounty kind of coconut guy, you know?
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.280
They taste sweet, they're juicy.
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.680
Turkish delights taste foul, jelly, the sound.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.919
Turkish delights are the best.
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.879
Now, something else is happening, by the way.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.240
We just changed the focus for a second.
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.400
We'll we will get back to this argument as we always do, but tell me a bit about Air Force Cadets.
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.879
We talked a bit on the way over here.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:32.400
Is is your goal in life to actually be a fighter pilot or something like that?
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:32.719
No.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.120
So why Air Force Cadets?
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:36.960
I don't know.
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:56.400
I'm pretty sure it was because I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure why I'm in Air Force Cadets is because my mum was scrolling along Facebook and saw a post that they put out saying that they were looking for new cadets.
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:57.680
Oh nice.
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.800
So and it looked interesting.
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.280
You got to fly drones and stuff like that.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:06.240
That's cool.
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:16.639
And I'm pretty sure that you're supposed to be able that you're supposed to go on a ride in a real fighter jet at some point.
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.759
That's unbelievable.
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.720
Does that make you nervous?
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:19.199
No.
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.120
You're not scared of like scary rising, are you?
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:21.279
No.
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.639
We've talked about it before, yeah.
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.720
So are you allowed to bring a friend or someone else on the Nah.
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:28.800
I don't think so.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.959
Is it possible for you to ask if there's a friend?
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.879
You can okay, right?
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.439
I don't even know if I'd like that.
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.279
I'm scared of height, so I don't even know if I'd like that.
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:38.800
What are you laughing for?
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.560
You know, you know, my daughter will hear this and she she laughs, but she says to me she wants to still take me on the Joker ride.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:45.759
I'm freaking out.
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.319
Like I want to be a good dad and supporter, but I don't want to go on it.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.879
Can I fake a sicky and go, oh, I can't go on my hamstring, my legs too sore, I can't go on it.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.839
Would that work?
00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:01.680
I reckon that since you're scared of heights, you should go on the joker ride and the dream world drop.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.240
I've been on dream world drop a long time ago and I freaked out.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.040
I was like, I said, look at those cars in there, they look like matchbox cars.
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.000
Look how tiny they are.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.319
Have you tried climbing Mount Whitehorse?
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:12.720
No.
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.399
What's it called Wild Horse?
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:15.920
Is it Whitehorse or Wild Horse?
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:16.560
Wild Horse.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:16.879
Ice.
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:17.279
Yeah.
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.160
No, I've got you tried climbing Mount Wildhorse.
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.160
I didn't know there was a Mount Wild Horse.
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.000
I thought it was just the area, but I've done like Gun Gun and Mount Bewar and those ones.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.480
That you mean?
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.360
Timber Gargan?
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.399
Yeah, it's it's right next to the Mount Wildhorse service station.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.120
Oh, okay.
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:34.720
Which is next to the highway.
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:43.040
Yeah, it's it's like it's basically just a mountain, but once you climb to the top, there's a viewing platform.
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:43.360
Yeah.
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.800
Where yeah, the cars look like batch boxes.
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:47.759
So you've done it before?
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.279
Yeah, I've done it a couple of times.
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.319
Was it scary?
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:50.959
No.
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.319
Would you do it again?
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:52.959
Yes.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.000
Would you do it again with me just to make me look scared?
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:56.399
Yes.
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.160
Okay, so you need to explain this.
00:05:58.399 --> 00:05:59.680
He's laughing over here.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:00.560
What is it?
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.399
Well, like how old are you now?
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.519
Twelve.
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.040
When do you turn 13?
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.680
Later in the year.
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:08.240
Okay.
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.879
So my youngest daughter's 14, and she gets a real kick out of it.
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.639
She wants to go on the Joker ride.
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:20.480
Yes, because she's a thrill seeker, but more importantly, she wants to see her dad basically cry in tears of terror.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.199
What is it with you guys, you younger generation, wanting to see fear in adults?
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.079
To be fair, I just want ever to be scared.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.480
Anyway, it would be kind of funny.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.199
Like, wait, I'm pretty sure.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.560
Yeah, I reckon that you would be scared out of your mind.
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.240
Why does it make you smile when you say that?
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.279
Like when you say, Why doesn't it?
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:44.160
There should be empathy here going, geez, I hope you're alright.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.319
We should take out it, but I don't think you should because of it.
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.199
Instead, you're laughing and jugging thinking it's a great idea.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.600
It's funny because on the way here I said, I've got a plan for you, and part of that plan was a mountain climber.
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:54.800
You just laughed at me and said, No chance.
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.120
But now on the podcast, you're going, Yeah, I'll take you there.
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.399
Um maybe I reckon that you should climb a mountain in your own time.
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.240
Like it's not that scary.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.279
How long does it take to get up Mount Wildhorse?
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.160
Um depends how fast you walk.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:12.720
Okay.
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.079
Pretty sure one of the slowest times that I've done it.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.560
Actually, I wasn't recording time, so I don't know.
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.879
But one of the slowest times was because my auntie was there.
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:25.439
Yeah.
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.079
And well, it was one of my aunties.
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.560
Yeah.
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.959
Who was scared of heights?
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.879
Oh, I understand how she feels, yeah.
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:36.240
Sounds like a great person.
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:36.639
Yeah.
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.480
Normal a normal person she sounds like.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.279
Very good.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.240
Yeah, but that was climbing about it.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.480
And she had to convince her coming up this you had to keep or just have to wait for her all the time because she'd want to rest.
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.319
No, she was walking backwards to not be as scared.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:51.199
Wow.
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:51.920
Wow.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:52.720
Was it packed?
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:53.839
Was there many people on the mountain?
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.279
No, there's not that many people.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.920
There's not many crazy people walking up mountains, is that what you're saying?
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.600
You don't have to be crazy to walk up a mountain.
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:06.000
Alright, well, look, I'll I'll take that challenge, but only if we do it together.
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.240
And you can take your yucky Turkish delights.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.360
I'll take my yummy bounties to keep me comfortable and safe.
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:12.800
My little comfort food.
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.959
And maybe we can do that one time and go up a mountain.
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.160
But there's no laughing.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.120
There's no laughing.
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.920
And if I have to stop I will be laughing the whole time.
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:27.839
If I have to stop on the way and have some tissues and wipe my eyes because of the humidity so hot and just happen to have sweat under my eyes, not tears of terror.
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.080
It's not that high.
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.559
Oh, so now I'm the odd one here.
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.440
Once again, making me feel comfortable on the podcast.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.759
So mumma's not scared of heights, or dad?
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.440
Or dad wouldn't be because dad does signs, doesn't he?
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.759
Does dad climb up and put the signs on or he just designs the signs?
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.279
He designs the signs and then occasionally climbs up and puts them on.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.480
Multi-talented.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:53.360
I could never do that.
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.480
What about your sister?
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:55.840
She must be scared of heights.
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:56.399
No.
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.360
So she's braver than me too.
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.080
Yes.
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.159
And she's 26.
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:02.960
No.
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.279
She's 10.
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.240
Oh dear.
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.360
Hey, when was the last time?
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.960
When was the last time, Oscar, you actually went to um a theme park?
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:14.399
How long ago?
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:19.759
I actually wait, do you class those water parks on the Gold Coast as theme park?
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:20.799
Yeah, probably, yeah, yeah.
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:23.200
Because I remember.
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:31.519
So I remember going to Was it White Waterworld?
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:32.960
It was White Water World.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:33.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:34.000
Yeah, I think.
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.759
The one that's attached to Dream World.
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.399
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:43.679
But I went there literally on New Year's Eve.
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:44.720
Was it packed?
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:45.679
A bit.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:46.159
Yeah.
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.039
Was it freaking?
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.080
But that was the first time I'd been there, so I don't know what the lines are normally like.
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:50.399
Okay.
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.440
Was it scary?
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:51.919
No.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.559
Have you ever been on the green room?
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:55.200
No.
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.440
You need to go on it.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.559
It's super fun.
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.919
Okay, describe in your words what super fun means, and then describe in my words what that would actually look like.
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.879
So go.
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:15.679
So basically, what the green room is, is so there's floaties that can hold up to four people on it.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.480
Yeah.
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:39.759
And if so you sit in the floaty and then they push you down, and it's like a giant tube that you go down into like this area where it's basically like a funnel that you've put upside that you put sideways, so you go up and down along the sides.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.399
I think I think I've already told you about it.
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:43.600
Can you flip it?
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:45.600
No.
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.279
Is it scary?
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:47.840
No.
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:49.759
Would it be scary for me?
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.080
Probably not.
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.480
What are you smiling for when you're saying that?
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.000
You're trying to stitch me up again.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:56.879
I know what you're doing.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.360
You're gonna take me all these places, I'm gonna freak out.
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.919
You'll be supporting me, not me supporting you.
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.039
That's scary.
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.039
It's not that scary.
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.519
Alright, what about what about one of the other theme parks?
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.279
Like Dream World, Sea World, Movie World.
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:10.720
You been to any of those recently?
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:11.600
Yes.
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.320
Last year I went to Dream World.
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:14.720
Okay.
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.600
Did you go anyway?
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.960
I say last year when it's only February now, so it wasn't that long ago.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:20.240
Yeah, but technically you're right.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.000
Yeah, it was sometime it was in December, I think.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.120
Sometime in December.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.159
Before Santa.
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:27.440
Yes.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.919
Did you go on the steel type pen?
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:30.639
Yes.
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.840
Scary as hell.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.720
That's like a tennis.
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.399
It's actually super fun.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:36.960
I think you missed up the words.
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:38.399
It's super scary.
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.320
No, you should go on the steel type pan.
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.360
Repeat after me.
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.559
Super scary.
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.039
Go.
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:44.320
Super fun.
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.559
I went on it with my daughter again.
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:49.919
He threw me under the bus.
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:58.000
And she got us to the front of the line because we lined up for the motorbike one and we couldn't fit on because my legs were too tall.
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.279
And so we waited an hour and a half to go on the motorbike ride.
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.039
Oh yeah, that one's super fun.
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.240
It's not at all scary.
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.200
Well, I missed out.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.960
So we lined up for that and then lined up again 10 minutes later, try to get a different bike, wouldn't work.
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.799
And they said, look, get a free ride of your choice.
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.360
What do you want?
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.759
And Emmy goes, steel Taipan.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.279
I went, choose again.
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:16.159
She goes, No.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.200
Wait, did you do the tail spin or just normal?
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.159
Normal.
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.080
I've never tried the tail spin.
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:22.720
Good.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.919
That shouldn't even be a thing.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.679
You should outlaw that kind of stuff.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.120
It looks like it's fun.
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.120
Okay, so you're you're honestly talking on air here.
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.759
This is like a non this is a non-lying podcast today.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:34.080
All right.
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.120
Let's just keep it here.
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.559
And I haven't lied yet.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.000
Well, you did earlier in the show.
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.080
You did talk about Turkish Delight being the best.
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.240
Turkish delight is the best.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:43.759
Tell me the truth.
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.320
When you went on the steel type in, were you at least scared a little bit?
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:49.919
No.
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.080
This disturbs me.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.559
I don't know why, but it disturbs me.
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.600
Seriously, it's not scary.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.639
My dad thought it was a bit scary.
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:02.799
Yes, it's someone with common sense.
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.279
Right.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.360
But it's not at all scary.
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.679
It's just Did your sister go on it?
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.320
No.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.000
Did Mum go on it?
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:10.559
No.
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.000
They were scared.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.679
They went on a different ride.
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.080
Was there any rides at Dreamwell that you actually did find scary?
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.480
No.
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.080
Did you go on the giant drop?
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:22.720
Yes.
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.759
Was that scary?
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.320
No.
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.879
Which was scarier out of the giant drop?
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.639
If you had to rate one, you said they're both not scary.
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.919
If you had to rate one out of steel, type pen and giant drop, which is the scariest?
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.200
Neither.
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.679
Wait, there's one ride that's not scary that I reckon you'd like.
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:48.000
It was I forget what it was called, but it was ver it was basically there was a giant screen in front of you.
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:48.480
Yeah.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:56.799
And you would just sit on chairs and watch the screen, and it looked like you're doing stuff and going all over.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.480
I'm pretty sure they had two.
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.679
It was all over Australia or all over Africa.
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.879
So that's nice.
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.080
Just chill up to that.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.759
What's that other one that went with Emi and Imy goes, you'll be right with this one like high.
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:08.639
I won't be scared this one up.
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.879
Was it the claw that goes up high and then comes back down?
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.039
I haven't ridden that one because it was under construction when I went there.
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.600
Oh, okay.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.120
It was under maintenance, I think.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.799
Have you ridden the Gold Coaster?
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:19.759
Yeah, that was funny.
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.360
Because it was so I went to Dream World twice.
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:23.759
Yeah.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.200
Like a month apart.
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:25.679
Yeah.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.759
Both times it was closed.
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:37.360
But then the next year, well, the same year it was, but literally like five hours away from the next year.
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:38.799
It opened up.
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.720
No, like there was people on it.
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:40.960
Oh, yeah.
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.000
And you could see it.
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:42.720
Yeah.
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:47.679
That one didn't scare me, but I think because I went in a steel tie pan, and then we came back to the big claw one.
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.879
I thought, oh, this will be easy.
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:49.919
And I hate heights.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.399
And when the chairs went right up, Imogen just laughed, and I'm just like holding on like a sweating.
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.840
I think I did the biggest bicep workout ever, just hanging on to like this.
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.159
And she's like, that wasn't very scary, was it, Dad?
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.039
And I could hardly talk.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.240
I was like, white.
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.240
She just laughed again.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.200
Cruel.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.519
Kids can be so cruel.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.080
They can bullies.
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:12.159
Oh my gosh.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:12.639
All right.
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:16.559
So that doesn't even look scary that wide.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.879
Thank you for saying that and making me feel again inadequate.
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:21.360
That's true.
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:22.639
You're laughing a lot.
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.240
I'm glad you're laughing a lot at me today.
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.080
I'm gonna go get my own counselling after this.
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.879
You know that, don't you?
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.799
So 6 30, I'm gonna book into a counsellor and Gary, what's some of your problems?
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.679
Well, I had a session with Oscar today and he just laughed at me the whole time because I was scared.
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.799
Alright, so we worked out today that um I feel sorry for Oscar.
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.159
I actually did treat him like I was a bit of a policeman today to catch up with him, hadn't seen him for a while.
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:53.200
So I asked him about school, asked him about friendships, asked him about um cadets, asked him about holidays.
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.879
What else to ask you about?
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.679
I forget.
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.960
It was a fair few, wasn't it?
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.399
Fair few questions I was asking about.
00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.919
No, it was alright.
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:07.039
But after this podcast, um, we're gonna go and uh check out the shops and have a little bit of a feed.
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:17.039
And Oscar said that he wants to try and face his fears and try some um Turkish delight and see if you can get over the phobia he has about disgusting chocolates.
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.879
So we'll do Turkish delights are the best.
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:30.559
Every time we are together and we have a Turkish delight, I try and convince myself that they're nice, but it feels like they're all out of date because no one buys them.
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.440
Really?
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.000
I you don't try and convince yourself.
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.960
I'm pretty sure the last time you tried Turkish delights, you're fine with them.
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.679
And then you just pretended that you hated them.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.720
I don't, I don't.
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.720
I honestly everyone knows that you actually like Turkish Delights.
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.159
I'll tell you what I'd do.
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.039
If there was a if there was a chocolate lineup, right?
00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:04.319
From there's all these chocolates, and you have to place them from say, say there's ten chocolates, from worst, number one, to ten being the best, I reckon Turkish Delight would come in for me number two.
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.559
The only thing that's worse than that is like those old Jamaica or old gold, those rum and raisin dark chocolate things.
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.759
Yeah, they're terrible.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.640
They're they're Turkish Delights is just a step up from that.
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.599
Turkish delights are the best.
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.599
So you'd have them at ten.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.359
Nine.
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.480
Is there a chocolate that actually is better?
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:25.519
Yes.
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.599
The marvelous crea the dairy milk marvelous creations.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.359
Okay, so again, explain to me what what are they are they like a caramel?
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.160
Are they a chocolate?
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:34.640
What are they?
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:43.279
They're chocolate with inside like popping candy and lollies.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.640
A mix?
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:46.000
Yeah, basically.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.759
And there's one more thing.
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.039
No, it's not jelly.
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.279
There's jelly in there too, isn't there?
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.079
Maybe.
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:53.359
Look at you.
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.319
You're obsessed.
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:55.119
You're obsessed with it.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.720
You should try them.
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.119
Oh.
00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.480
They're better than you think.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:00.880
But you said they might be only a Christmas thing, is that right?
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:02.240
They might only be a Christmas thing.
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.279
Yeah, I think that they're only out at Christmas times.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:12.799
Do you like if Cabby is listening to this, please say where to get them, not at Christmas time?
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.400
Do you know what would be really funny?
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:18.799
It would be really cool, is if Turkish Delight became our sponsor.
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.519
And then you could have a Turkish Delight while we actually did a podcast.
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:21.839
Yeah.
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.400
And then at least Turkish Delight would have at least one customer.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.759
Like at least, you know what I mean?
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.200
Nah.
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.319
Thousands of people buy Turkish Delights.
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.400
Do you think we could give people free Turkish Delights on the show who come with us then?
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:37.920
Maybe.
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.920
Well, they'd probably only give it back to you, so you probably win-win.
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:46.559
Turkish Delights are the best, and everyone agrees with that, right?
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:48.640
We'll find out from the poll, won't we?
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:49.279
Yes.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:49.759
Okay.
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:55.119
Um, tell me about before we wrap up, tell me about weekends and what what do you do on the weekends at the moment now?
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.079
Schools back?
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:56.640
Nothing.
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.440
Nothing, okay.
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.200
Oh, you're talking about holidays.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.480
Tell me tell explain this to me.
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.519
Holidays you said boring.
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.079
Why is that?
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:05.039
The school holidays are boring.
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:05.680
Yeah.
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.480
Because you are literally doing completely nothing.
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.039
You're basically just sitting there doing nothing.
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.839
So, in a way, school's okay in the fact that it gives you some kind of thing to do, a bit of structure, a bit of routine.
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:25.039
Like you're literally just sitting there not knowing what to do.
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:25.680
Okay.
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.359
Alright.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:33.279
Do you have I might have asked you this before, but what this year being year seven, different teachers subjects.
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.039
Do you have a favorite subject at the moment?
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.240
Like I know it's only week two or three, but do you have a favourite subject at the moment?
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.759
Not really.
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:40.160
No?
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.119
I thought you'd be like science or biology or something like that.
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:48.799
To be fair, we only do science at this point science-wise.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.279
Yeah.
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.319
We don't do all the different subjects in science.
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:52.880
Oh, okay.
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.839
Just the simple basic science.
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:56.400
Okay.
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.519
Before we go, do you have any fun facts before we leave?
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.119
Um no.
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:05.359
You did say something about a leaf.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:07.680
What color's a leaf?
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:09.119
IS.
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:32.720
So technically, because light is every different colour, the w so technically when you see something that's a certain colour, like say a delicious Turkish delight wrapper.
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.119
There's no such thing like gallon yeah.
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.119
Which is what?
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.480
Reddish purple?
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.279
It's yellow, it's gold with purple with a purple bit.
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.000
Yeah.
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:58.880
So like when you see that, technically, because of the way that light works, all the light comes down and shines onto the Turkish delight wrapper.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.279
Yeah.
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:10.720
And then where the purple bit is on it, all the light gets absorbed except for the purple light.
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:11.680
So it bounces back.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:20.000
Technically, since purple is not a primary colour, technically the red and blue would bounce back.
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.000
So technically So why don't we see red and blue then?
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.480
Because it merges and makes purple.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:29.119
Oh.
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.799
So then that bounces back and hits your eyes.
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.640
So that's the only reason you see colours the way they are.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.319
So ocean, if I see the ocean's blue.
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:46.640
So technically, the Turkish delight wrapper would be every colour but purple in that spot that you see purple.
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.720
And so if the ocean's blue, yeah, it's every colour but blue.
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.720
That's freaking me out.
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:54.799
Are you are you playing with my brain again?
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:56.000
Because I'm not very intelligent.
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.119
Is it you play with my mind here, mate?
00:21:59.440 --> 00:21:59.759
Scaring me.
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.839
Um, thanks for coming on the show.
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.240
Any good jokes before we finish off?
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.039
No.
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.240
Oh, I've got one.
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.759
Do you want to hear it?
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.279
Turkish Delight.
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.319
That's the joke.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:14.079
That's a good one.
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:16.400
Turkish Delights are the best.
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.920
And that's not a joke.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.640
Well, people out there listening, put your poll in.
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.599
Let us know how you go.
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.920
We'll actually see whether we think that uh it is great to have you on the show, mate.
