This interview with two legends who stopped a robbery is the most Australian thing ever

This morning, Australia’s Channel 9 interviewed two men who prevented a robbery on the Gold Coast - and the resulting clip in which the pair tell their story is going viral.

Because it's the most Australian thing ever.

James Ross-Munro and Kane Wiblen had been at a “stubbies and singlets”party on Friday night ('stubbies' being slang for a 375ml bottle of beer and 'singlet' being a vest) when they decided to walk to a 'servo' (petrol station). There, they saw a pair of thieves trying to rob a restaurant.

“We’d been down at the local tavern for a ‘stubbies and singlets’ party and got dropped off by a mate up the road and thought we’d walk down to the servo to get some noodles when I tripped over a sign and busted ma plugger’ James told hosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson, who were already in convulsions. ,

“I was pretty concerned about the blowout I had, and then looked up and saw a white commodore pull up with two blokes with shirts across their faces and thought well that’s a bit suss so better go and check it out,” he continued.

And the story only gets better from there.

Our favourite line:

“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, that’s about it.”

The pair filmed their heroic (and sweary) shirtless feat if you feel like watching.

You know you do.

And he did it with one flip-flop on! Heroes.
