Sam the Waterman (0:46)

Welcome to the Noobspearo Podcast. It's me, your host Shrek. No, it's not really. It's Sam the Waterman. We're back here for trivia on the, where are we again? Agnes Waters, 1770 Spearfishing Retreat. It's day two. We're all a little bit tired and in classic trivia fashion. We've got all the beautiful instructors here. Let's introduce everyone here.

To my left, I have lead instructor.

Isaac 'Shrek' Daly (1:14)

Mark. G'day, g'day, g'day.

Mark (1:18)

First time at Agnes with this crew and they are all awesome. Keen to see what we can do in the water tomorrow.

Bri (1:26)

Hi, everybody. I'm Bri. Second time on this amazing retreat.

I am also tired and I've spoken a lot today, so I think I'm going to be a bit bing-bong, but we'll see how we go.

Ben Rennie (1:39)

Hello. I'm Ben. I'm the cameraman on this trip. Also, scoring this podcast at Bear With Me. Third, 1770 retreat that I've been lucky enough to be on.

It was pretty sick and keen to see everyone in the water part.

Nick (1:54)

I'm Nick. I'm come up from Coffs Harbour. It's my first retreat at 1770 that I've helped on, and super excited tomorrow to get some students onto some awesome fish and see the Stoke building.

Tom Smythe (2:05)

I'm Tom. Tom Sandstrom.

Tegan (2:07)

I also come up from Coffs Harbour.

Tom Smythe (2:11)

And like everyone else, I'm super tired.

Ben Rennie (2:14)

No, Tom Smythe here.

Tom Smythe (2:20)

It's just Tom Smythe. And yeah, I think this is number three for me as well.

Brad (2:25)

I'm Brad from the Gold Coast. This is my first 1770 retreat, helping others and also learning a lot myself as well along the way. So it's been great.

Sam the Waterman (2:34)

Hello, it's me Shrek.

Brad (2:37)

I'm frothing.

SPEAKER_12 (2:38)

I'm frothing so frothily hard.

Sam the Waterman (2:40)

No, Shrek actually isn't here. So we should probably make a point in saying that. We're doing this trip without Shrek for the first time ever. How do you think we're doing guys?

Ting (2:47)

Having a good time? Really good actually.

Fozzie (2:48)

Yeah, I think we're very good.

Isaac 'Shrek' Daly (2:50)

Full, smooth sailing.

Brad (2:51)

If there's been any issues, we're just on to it.

Ting (2:54)

Yeah.

Brad (2:54)

We'll get it done. It's been great.

Ting (2:56)

Teamwork, dream work. We'll step it up.

Tegan (2:59)

Okay, we cooked so well tonight.

Mark (3:01)

Everyone's stepped up to fill the shoes of not having Shrek here to lean on. And so it's been good and easier for me as the lead guy.

Sam the Waterman (3:08)

And Shrek has pretty big shoes, like at least size 15

Ting (3:12)

Oh.

Kate (3:12)

So, I've measured.

Sam the Waterman (3:15)

All right. Well, we're here to do trivia. As always, it's a little bit of fun. We keep it silly. We keep it light-hearted, but play along at home. There are some easier questions. There are some harder questions. Again, Shrek has actually laid out all these questions for me, and I have gone through them all with a fine-tooth comb. No, I haven't.

Zach (3:33)

We're doing them off-the-cuff.

Sam the Waterman (3:34)

We're keeping it lively. We're keeping it sprightly. And we're writing down our answers. Are you ready, guys?

Zach (3:39)

Ready.

Sam the Waterman (3:40)

Okay. Round one.

What's the four-word buddy rule describing who's on the surface while the other dives? I'll read all the questions multiple times so you can get it in your head and for you guys at home as well. What is the four-word buddy rule describing who's on the surface while the other dives?

Kate (4:04)

Oh, I don't know.

Sam the Waterman (4:06)

So it's a four-word phrase describing while one is on the surface and the other dives. Bonus point.

What is Noob Spearo's version of this? It's a three-word system. Personally, I've never heard anyone say this on a mystery trip.

SPEAKER_12 (4:24)

But Shrek's put it in for an extra point.

Sam the Waterman (4:26)

I guess he was hoping he'd be here to get the extra point.
