Australia’s Channel 9 interviewed James Ross-Munro and Kane Wiblen on Monday morning local time and heard how the two men had been at “stubbies and singlets” party at a local bar. (A _stubby_ is the Australian slang term for a 375ml bottle of beer; a _singlet_ is a cut-off vest). After the party, the two men headed to a nearby “servo” (gas station) for a snack, when they saw an alleged robbery in progress at a chicken restaurant. They then prevented what appears to be the getaway car from making an escape and gave chase to the suspects. At the time, Ross-Munro reveals that he had “busted my plugger” or broken his sandal. When a presenter compliments him on his shirtless physique and asks him if he goes to the gym, Ross-Munro quips: “Mate, I don’t go to the gym, haven’t been to the gym in years. The only gym I go to is Jim Beam.” Watch and share in the mirth. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4192125/most-aussie-interview-ever-australia-gold-coast/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4192125/most-aussie-interview-ever-australia-gold-coast/"},"headline":"Watch Two Men Who Foiled a Robbery While Shirtless Give the Most Aussie Interview Ever","datePublished":"2016-01-25T04:14:41.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:09.510Z","description":"\"I tripped over a sign and busted my plugger\"","url":"https://time.com/4192125/most-aussie-interview-ever-australia-gold-coast/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Australia","viral","robbery"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4192125/most-aussie-interview-ever-australia-gold-coast/","name":"Watch Two Men Who Foiled a Robbery While Shirtless Give the Most Aussie Interview Ever"}}]}] ```
