Line 711:
Brady: He retold a lot of these stories in the places where they happened and I rolled the camera over it and hopefully we'll get around to edding- editing them at some point.
Grey: There's- so are we going to see these videos on one of your many channels at some point in the future?
Brady: Yeah, I'll probably just put it on my- like, on my channel called BradyStuff,--
Grey: [laughs]
Brady: --which is just a channel where I just dump stuff that hasn't- unbelievably there--
Grey: [laughing] Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but, like, I've known you for a while, and this is like yet another channel of yours that I have never even heard of existing. Um,--
Brady: Well, this- this is the channel where I put things that haven't got a channel.
Grey
Brady: Unbelievably, there are some topics that I haven't got a channel for, so--
Grey: I- I'm almost surprised that you don't have a dedicated Vietnam War channel, for example.
Brady: That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe I'll get- no,--
Grey
Brady: --so I'll- I don't know, I'll probably pop them on there or something. Anyway--
Grey
Brady: --anyway, it's, you know, by the by, I mean, for me it wasn't so much about making videos,--
Grey: Mm-hmm.
Brady: --it
Grey: Yeah, get- spending some time with your dad and--
Brady: Yeah,
Grey: --and
Brady: --and- and- it's always good to put- you know, to visit places and really un- it gives you a different understanding of stuff, whether it's something intense, like the Vietnam War, or going to the Eiffel Tower,--
Grey: Mm-hmm.
Brady: --you know, when you visit to the real place, you kind of can think "oh yeah, now I understand the- the geography and--"
Grey: Yeah, it's always fundamentally different, no matter how much you hear about a place, when you go, it's just a different experience.
Brady: Yeah...
Grey: It's a much more human experience to be there, uh, and to- and to stand in the- in the place where something actually happened.
Brady: Yeah, exactly. So,- so anyway, that was- that was kind of crazy, but it was good fun.
Grey: I'm glad- I'm glad you came back alive. Um,-
Brady: Yeah, you were just worried we wouldn't finish the, uh, podcast series if I got some malaria or something, weren't you?
Grey: Yeah, that is exactly true, and I was- I was nervous when you tweeted that menu that had intestines and a bunch of other terrifying foods on it.
Brady: Yes.
Grey: And I thought, "please,--"
Brady: It had a rectum on it, didn't it?
Grey: [laughing] Yeah, that's what it was.
Brady: Yeah.
Grey: It was- it was rectum and I was thinking, "please Brady, do not become terribly sick or die on this trip. It would be--"
Brady: [dismissively] No...
Grey: [laughing] "--it would be terribly inconvenient", but I'm--
Brady: I've--
Grey: --glad you're back safe and sound.
Brady: --I've never eaten so much squid in all my life.
Grey: Oh...
Brady: But, they- they love their squid there.
Grey: Oh yeah?
Brady: The other thing that was really interesting though, was that it was- it was really interesting to go to a place in that kind of, uh, military tourism context. Where... I don't know, for lack of a better term, you're on the losing side?
Grey: Hmm.
Brady: You know, I mean- I mean- I mean, the US and Australians and the allies withdrew from Vietnam and the North Vietnamese came down and--
Grey: Mm-hmm.
Brady: -and took- took the country, so to speak, and, you know, it's- it's now this- this country that it is, this communist country, and... the war is a great victory for them,--
Grey: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Brady: --and to- and to go there and be doing the sights and be taken around by a tour guide, when- of the force that was not victorious was very interesting and- and is also different, you know, we're used to going to sort of... places where terrible things happened, but ultimately, you know, in a- in a victorious context I guess,--
Grey: Right.
Brady: --uh, and this was the opposite, which was really interesting.
Grey: Hmm. I wouldn't have thought about that, but that- that- that's a good point, normally- normally when you're doing like the- like the war monuments that, you know, an Australian or an American would tend to go to are- are they're- they are monuments of triumph, um--
Brady: Hmm.
Grey: --and- and doing a- a tour where that was not the case is a different experience.
Brady: Yeah, it was also really interesting going to the- the Vietnamese, um, museum about it, but anyway, you know, it's probably a- there's only so much we can talk about--
Grey: [chuckles]
Brady: --Vietnam for in a- in a podcast that's more about... I don't know what this podcast is about, but it's probably not about war stories, so--
Grey: It's- this podcast is about what we want it to be about, so--
Brady: All right, there you go.
Grey: --so- so Vietnam totally counts, and I was very interested to hear--
Brady: Vietnam, and I did make- and I did make videos there, so it is about- it is about filmmaking.
[30:11]
I tell you what, from a filmmaker YouTube perspective, it's really hard to make videos of your dad. I tell you that right now. Why? Because partly because of the way my dad is, but also just because there's a different dynamic. I mean, you know, when I'm interviewing someone or filming something in the video is them but I can take control to an extent and guide them with the questioning and if they've got a certain point they want to make or away they want to tell the story, and I don't think it's going to work. I can either delicately Shepherd them with my questions or I can can be more Frank and slap them around the years and say now Now we need to do it like this. But my dad obviously had, you know, stories he wants to tell him ways he wanted to tell them and they didn't always fit with what I thought would work in a video. And all the different techniques I normally use on on people to get what I want. Just didn't work. It was like
