Trailblazers.tv... Road Tripping w/ Big John... aka HCP!

Great job, HCP!

Only advice I'd give you is not to be afraid to look in the camera. In the first one it looked like you wanted to look anywhere but at the camera. I know you were nervous, but keep eye contact so to speak.

 

Ask him to describe a Drop Bear to you.

"A native to the australian outback, the drop bear is a mysterious, yet chillingly savage member of the marsupial family. If you are unlucky enough to pitch a tent under a tree inhabited by a drop bear, and rouse it from it's slumber, be prepared for pain country! It will drop from the tree, latching onto your face (a la the facehugger from the alien)and proceeds to rid you of any good looks you may (or may not) have once had. Only known deterrant is a generous smearing of vegemite behind the ears. It saved me once and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"

 

and end with, "now lets go put another shrimp on the barbie"

Seriously, don't pitch your tent under a gum tree; drop bears can be deadly.

 

I have plenty of Vegemite for my protection!

 

Ask him if he cares that Australia got its arse kicked by the Poms in Rugby.

(And it's spelled "crikey!")

 

Vegemite wishes it were Marmite:

 

An actually serious question you could ask Patty would be to explain walkabout. But that wouldn't be good comic relief.

 

If you want to rip on him about sports, as him how he feels about the Adelaide Crows (his footy team) losing four of their greatest players McLeod, Goodwin, Edwards, Burton, and young forward Hentschel to retirement?

Along with losing All Australian Centre Half Back Nathan Bock to expansion franchise Gold Coast Suns for a crap draft pick in the high 20's.

The Crows have taken a big knock, and wont make finals again this year; definitely in rebuilding mode.

 

As if!

We're happy little Vegemites in OZ.

 

Another "show"

We need to sticky this thread!

 

Nice!

HCP, take Patty Mills to lunch at an Outback and see if anyone recognizes him!

 

You should wear a funny hat each show. Or hold up a Rubber chicken randomly...don't even explain it, just hold up the rubber chicken while doing your interview and tell whomever your interviewing before hand to ignore it. would be awesome!

 

or a Raef LaFrentz bobblehead.

 

You do realise that that chain has nothing to do with Australia?

It was created by, and is owned by Americans.

Nothing on their menu is remotely Australian, it's all American cuisine.

 

Next you'll be saying Suburu isn't an Australian car maker!

 

I'm pretty sure it was a joke.
