Fully Grown Homos with Dave and Matt.
(00:55):
On today's episode we're goingto chat about our little long
weekend away.
We just got back from a longweekend Well, it's like a short
trip, but a long trip Mini tripwhere we've crammed an absolute
shit ton in, as usual.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Where did we go, dave ?
Well, we headed up to theCentral Coast initially, matt,
just because I had to go andpick up a window for my property
.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well, our main purpose originally was to head
up there because we had somewonderful friends having a
birthday.
Yep, a friend that's having abirthday and they live on the
Central Coast.
Yeah, and just so happened tofall in line with the fact that
you found a round window forthose who are playing along at
home in Sesame Street On PlaySchool.
Yeah, play School, that's theword I'm looking at Thank you.
(01:47):
There you go.
So you found the round windowand you went through the round
window and you found the roundwindow, and so the round window
was at a place called Noravilleon the central coast.
Now, as a young Matt, Iactually had some neighbours
that were pretty awesome andthey had a caravan at Norah Head
Caravan Park.
So I used to, and Norah Villain, norah Head Caravan Park is, or
(02:10):
Norah Head, are really nextdoor to each other, so let's
check this place out.
So we ventured up on Saturdaymid-morning, early morning.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah well, we left this place around about or your
place, should I say around about7.30ish, because we had to drop
the dogs off first.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Some amazing friends of mine said, yes, we'd love to
babysit.
So Fanny and Dick, and so theybabysit the babies for me.
We went on a little adventure,so we went up to Norah Head it
was a good time, didn't we?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We got up there by about 10.30, I think it was yeah
it takes no time at all to getup there now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's really good, really quick trip, really easy
trip.
But Norah Head hasn't changed.
It's stuck in time.
It's just as beautiful as itwas, as I remember it being when
I was younger.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now I had been up there before, which I didn't
realise.
Yeah, so I'd been to CentralCoast and been to Linden Pass,
but it didn't jog my memoryuntil we actually got there.
Yeah, I'd actually been therebefore, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So the lighthouse.
We went to go to the rock poolbecause that was a real fun
memory for me, yeah, but then wesort of couldn't get parking at
the lighthouse, sorry, at therock pool.
So we journeyed on a little bitfurther to the rock pool and
went to the oh fuck Journeyed onfrom the rock pool to the
lighthouse, which isn't a greatdistance at all in terms of like
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And wandered down the rocks and did what we do.
And let's have a look at sexymen.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, well, we saw like observed the views first,
didn't we yeah.
And we saw that they had someaccommodation up by the
lighthouse, didn't we?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, they did, they did some and they've basically
got some, yeah, some littleCottages.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Cottages.
Let's call them cottages, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They're big brick home type things.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think they used to like be workers' cottages that
actually maintained the actuallighthouse and stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So they're pretty old looking standstone but typical
that that sort of period thatmakes sense, yes, and they're
really cool looking and you canactually hire them out and we're
going to have a look and seehow much they are to hire out,
because it would be a greatlocation right on the point of
norah head there, great viewsfrom up there and stuff like
(04:22):
that, yep.
But then wander, wandered downto the old wooden stairs that
were like, really cool lookingas well, yep.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And you had your camera with you.
Yeah, I took my big boy camera.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I did take my drone, but then there were signs
everywhere saying you can't flyyour drone here.
So I didn't fly the drone.
I was a good boy.
I didn't break any rules, nope,apart from maybe occasionally
photographing a hot person.
That's not a rule.
You're allowed to do that, Ithink, aren't you?
Well, I'm sure there's rulesfor everything.
Yeah, of course you are.
We are.
(04:53):
We gave ourselves permission,as we do always, as we do.
So we went down the littlestairway and had a wander around
the rocks and the beach andeverywhere, like that, checking
all the hot daddies out.
While we were down thereChecking, there was a couple of
really hot daddies.
There was, yeah, there was onereally hot younger guy like I'm
saying, 25-ish.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No, I'd say he's older than that.
Ah, the one with the dog?
Yeah, really Okay.
All right, I didn't ask for hisID.
Yeah, I'll check it later.
I checked him on Instagram now,didn't I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he had hisdog in the water with him,
didn't?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
he?
Yeah, he was a really coolcocker, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, he was really cool and that was really good.
The dog was loving it, wasn'the?
He was having so much fun.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He, the rock pulls ourselves.
What me?
And then what happened?
Well, I was really fixated onthese really cute little crabs
that were like wiggling inbetween the rocks and rocks and
all that kind of stuff and hecalled me over, called me over,
said dad, there's dave, there'scrabs in here right, and so he
was having a little crouchingdown and then all of a sudden,
we got smashed by this wave,yeah, we got soaked, absolutely
soaked.
D's shoes got soaked to thebone, squelchy everywhere, yep.
(06:07):
So that was fun.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Unexpected.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Unfortunately, I wasn't video at that point in
time, you kind of dried outquite quickly, apart from my
shoes.
I thought my shoes had actuallydried out, but they hadn't.
No, they hadn't Because theyput them in the car and oh, they
smelt like wet shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They did, yeah, so it was pretty gross.
But from there, where did wejourney?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We drove up then because we were heading towards
Newcastle, because that's wherewe were staying for the night,
wasn't we?
Yeah, and I mentioned to you onthe journey going up that we
should maybe just have a call into Birdie Beach.
Oh, what's Birdie Beach, dave?
So Birdie Beach is a beach thathas optional clothing on it as
well.
A nudie rudie beach, a nudiebeach, absolutely Okay.
(06:47):
So, yeah, I've never been therebefore.
I've been there twice before,but I'm talking, you know,
you're talking like nine, tenyears ago, when I was up there
last, yeah, and I hadn't sort oflike remembered too much about
it.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Now, I've been to a nude beach.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been to a nude beach or two, yeah and we've
discussed this on previouspodcasts that we were going to
check out more nude beaches,haven't we?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So I just suggested to you.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
we're on the way, we have plenty of time.
Yeah, let's go and check it out.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And we did, and so my first impression was that, like
it's really organised,especially like okay, there is,
like I said, there is clothingoptional for a certain part of
the beach, right, so the otherpart of the beach is just
everyday, ordinary beach andit's a beautiful white sandy
beach with a big rock in themiddle of the ocean and stuff
(07:33):
like that.
It's really quite monumentalist, if that's a word, I don't know
.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't think it is, but hey, it sounds good, it's
fucking big, okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Big fucking rock.
That looks sexy as hell.
Fucking big, okay, yep.
Big fucking rock.
That looked sexy as hell, yep.
But then sort of up to the leftand the way it looked on the
map, I thought we're going to bewalking for an hour to get to
the nude beach.
It was literally about afive-minute walk up the beach.
I'll say a bit longer than that, given the height.
Well, only because we stoppedand looked at everyone on the
way.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, you know, you come out over the dunes and the
fucking sun was hot, wasn't it?
Oh yeah, the sun was fuckinghot.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That'll happen when it's sunny.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But the car park facility is good.
They've got toilets there,great.
They've got like a shower roomover there and stuff like that.
Yeah, got everything there.
So you know, you climb throughthe well, you climb, you walk
through the sand dunes.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Along the beach and through the back there's like
sand dunes and stuff like that.
So I'd say probably about.
I was probably about 10-15minute walk down to the end
where we were staying, okay.
So there's a little lagoonopposite the beach and that's
sort of where the, where thegays are known to hang out, um,
so, and you can confirm thatthat's where the gays were
hanging out for the majority ofit, in the lagoon, occasionally
there'd be um a couple of girlsthat would come over with their
partners and sort of jump in fora dip because they didn't like
(08:49):
the surf so much but they wantedthe lagoon, and when we say
lagoon it's just like a peatbased water, but it was fresh.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know, it was probably fresh water, wasn't it?
I don't know it was nice, butit wasn't connected to the sea,
so it would be.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It was refreshing that's for sure, yep.
And so we jumped in there, hada little bit of sunbaked.
Well, we stripped it off first,didn't we?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh yeah, obviously Got our dicks out, yep, because
again neither of us are shy Putsome sun cream on, but there
wasn't a lot of sun cream to goaround because Matt had left it
in the car.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, no, I found out that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I actually left it at home, oh.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I've got tons more at home, like I'm talking tons and
tons you didn't tell me that.
No, no, I'm a dickhead.
So anyway, we lathered up somesunscreen and because we were
rubbing each other up, theremight have been a little bit of
movement.
So I get excited fairly easymyself.
You ventured off first, so Idecided to go for a wander and I
(09:43):
went in the water to rinse thesand and the sunscreen off my
hands and things like that, andwent for a wander because we
could see some people wanderingup the back of the bushes.
I thought, oh, I wonder whathappens up there.
I didn't wonder what happens upthere.
I know what happens in the backof bushes when you go to a
nudist beach.
I've been to a couple speech.
(10:05):
I've been to a couple um, forthose listening along at home,
what happens is men tend totouch each other and play with
each other and kiss and cuddleand do things that people that
love each other do, or they justwalk past and say hi and just
keep them walking and keep themwalking, yeah, so, yeah, all
kinds of stuff happens, yep, um.
So I took a wander around and,um, you came back pretty quickly
come back pretty quick because,like number one, I had no shoes
(10:27):
on at that stage.
And the sand, when we're talkinghot on the beach, on the normal
beach, the sand up there,literally I felt like it took
off a few layers of my skin.
It was so fucking hot, Jesus,why don't you put shade up?
So you came back and used thewater and I said it was quite a
(10:47):
few hotties up there and stuff.
But I said if we're going upthere, we need to be putting
shoes on inside.
I said let's go for a wander.
So we did.
So we did put shoes on and wentfor a wander all the way down
through the bushes.
Yeah, Met up with a few peopleon the way.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, stopped another break and then carried on
walking.
A break, hang on.
What's a break, dave?
A break is, like you know, acock break.
Oh, a cock break.
Yeah, because there wassomebody.
There was no coffee serving, sowe just had a bit of cock
instead.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, a bit of cock instead.
So there was a guy in theirbushes that was sort of standing
there fully hard.
So we thought, oh, we bettersee what that looks like, and he
was very grateful.
He was very grateful.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
He said thank you, yep, very polite, very polite.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So thank you very much for putting my dick in your
mouth and stuff like that, andwe then carried on our ventures.
We could hear a lot of activitygoing on, couldn't we in the
background, but we didn't knowwhat it was going to be, didn't
know where, so we continued upthe path, passing an old friend
of ours, but yeah, we didn'tknow that Well.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I sort of thought it was because I said to you that
looks like blah blah, Such andsuch as dick.
And I went.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
God, you've seen so many, yet you can still work out
whose is whose.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm a good boy like that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm a good boy Photographic cock memory.
But yeah, so it turns out itwas him later, when we were on
our way back and we seen him.
But we continued on and we runinto a whole heap of guys that
were actually Camping in thebush From a I think they're from
Gay Newcastle Camping orsomething like that some group.
I tried to actually Google.
(12:19):
I couldn't find it.
I will find it a little bitharder and hopefully tag them on
the um on their podcast when I,when I post this one.
But, um, the guys that run thator the part of that were um and
they won't mind us using theirnames because they were actually
, yeah, telling us and sayingmatt dj yeah, no, it was um dj
(12:41):
daddy bear, and his name wasmatt yes, and then his partner's
name was jeff and they had agood conversation with us, as
they were.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Other people talking um, standing around, chatting,
everybody was nude, but nothinghappened, yeah jeff was very,
very lovely, very personable.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yep, um, just just having a great chat, stopping in
the middle of the bushes,completely naked, all these guys
, just like it was a normalthing to do, which really made
it really comfortable andactually really good.
And he was telling us how he'sa big fan of being part of a
community, a queer community inNewcastle, and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And it was him that told us about the actual
Bernie's.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Bar.
Yeah, so he told us that weneeded to check out a place
called Bernie's Bar.
So tell us about Bernie's.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Bar, dave.
Well, we'll come back to thatin a minute because we're
obviously going to head back.
Oh, okay, so we'll talk aboutBernie's Beach first, we'll come
back to Bernie's Bar, so yeah,so the conversation was
basically just very fluid, um,very engaging, um, this guy,
jeff, was just like a knowledgeof everything and very like.
So very engaging, veryhospitable in every single way.
(13:55):
Yeah, lovely, lovely, yeah, yeah.
So we then carried on, you know, past them after we having a
good chat with them and thoughtwe'd go venturing further into
the, into the bush, and came toa dead end Somebody suggested
that we go up the path.
So we didn't really, yeah, butwe didn't really go any further
because we couldn't.
So we came back, acknowledgedthem again on the way back, saw
there was a few more people thatwe hadn't seen in tents, and I
(14:16):
thought, holy fuck, there's morepeople there than we thought.
And then we carried on the wayback to the way we came to the
point where then we met up withthe guy that I know what.
We won't name names, um, but um, it turned out to be him and a
very good friend of mine.
And yeah, um had a chat.
Yeah, part of the naked mancamp group.
You know I mean, so that wasreally cool, and you know he was
(14:38):
there for the, you know, justfor the day, um, and yeah, he
was happy to see us and have alittle bit of chat and then,
basically, um, then he explainedthat you know, we could venture
off further up into the bushesthrough a different direction.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, so we thought, oh, okay, we'll go and try that
out and he was more activitypretty right up there wasn't.
He was indeed, so there wasquite a few more people.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
There's a couple of people that we'd seen come to
the beach that were fullyclothed not not fully clothed,
but they hadn't straightened offnaked.
And we'd seen them going offinto the bush, but we hadn't
really sort of like you know,seen them naked I suppose.
And then obviously they werethen up in the bushes and they'd
obviously taken their clothesoff at that point, yep, and
there was a few more activitieshappening up there, wasn't there
(15:21):
man?
So like coits um giraffescheckers well, there was a few
birds up there.
Oh, there was a few wildanimals.
There was a few wild animals,there's quite a hot, a very hot
older animal.
Yeah, nice beard and cockles.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah so.
So there was quite a few bears,um, but yeah, so it was
actually quite a lot of fun.
We scratched some itches inthere and did what we do.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, and then Matt decided that he couldn't resist
the urge and yeah, the rest washistory.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And anyway, yep, that's what Dave gets if he puts
my dick in his mouth.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So yeah, so basically , that was birdie beach birdie
beach and it was great it was.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It was great definitely a few hours, weren't
we?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
yeah, we weren't there for long.
We'll definitely take a shelterwith us next time because, um,
it was very warm, it wasdefinitely warm and and, yeah,
probably take a few.
I left my socks in, like I putmy socks out to dry because they
were so wet from the the therock pool situation and then
walking back because, you know,I had my I don't know.
(16:30):
I think I just put my shoesback on, didn't I?
I didn't realize, yeah then wegot back to the car and realized
I'd left my socks drying on butyou had, just you had your
shoes on from when we wereactually in the bushes?
Oh yeah, because that part ofthe beach was quite cool.
It wasn't sort of likeexcessively hot, was it, you
know?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
so yeah, so yeah but um, yeah, so we, um.
So we went back out of thereand then headed by the sun dunes
checking a few other guys outbecause that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, because yeah, when you were, you were quick, a
little bit keen, I suppose, togo down to the sort of
heterosexual part where you needto go and check out the guys
and marry guys.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Let me go and check out the hot.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I didn't suggest you could, but then you decide no,
I'm not going to, because davewas very against it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So I just followed.
I said okay.
He said why don't you want?
You want to look at vagina?
And I went no, I want to lookat the things that are with the
vaginas, like the married guys,and check out them.
But anyway, it was too much.
So anyway, we went back to thecar, got in the car car and then
headed on into Newey.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Newey, yeah To Newcastle, but you were sort of
like quite taken by the jokebecause there's a lot of nice
places.
What we went through to get toNewcastle wasn't there.
Yeah, and Swansea was one ofthe ones that you really loved.
Swansea grabbed me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I definitely want to check Swansea out because it
was just stunning, stunning.
When we went over the bridge atSwansea, um, it just the
waterways looked amazing.
There was always somethinghappening, because we drove back
and forth over it a couple oftimes and it just looked really,
really nice.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And bear in mind this is the long weekend of
Australia Day, so that's astandpoint for us.
So we're talking the 25th ofJanuary up to the 27th yeah yeah
, 25th to 27th yeah um, but itlooked absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Um definitely want to go and check it out because it
looks beautiful.
I do love the Central Coast.
I think it's a beautiful partof the town.
It is beautiful and stuff likethat, but I've got some friends
that actually live up there Yep,me too Now and it's amazing.
I think it's absolutelygorgeous, as well as a little
holiday place.
Don't know if I could livethere at this point in time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Once as a little holiday place.
I don't know if I could livethere at this point in time.
Once I get ready to retire.
We've got further plans.
You know, central Coast isdefinitely a place that I could
definitely retire if I had theoption for sure, but Brisbane is
definitely our favourite forliving at.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
But anyway, we're digressing so we went to
Newcastle, all right, checkedinto our hotel.
Which hotel was that?
Well, it was a pub Fundament toour hotel.
Um, which hotel was that waspub?
Yeah, fundamentally it's calledthe albion hotel and it was
very centralized, wasn't itreally?
Great location, fantasticlocation, in mayfield and um.
And we basically said to thebar staff there look, we got
(18:56):
there, checked in and we didn'tcheck into a different hotel
because it had shared bathrooms,right, and I for some reason
thought that this had its ownbathrooms in the room.
And when we got there, um, whatright?
Oops, I was wrong.
She said, look, you know, justso you know, blah, blah, blah.
And I went, oh shit, and said,okay, all good, we're here.
(19:17):
Now it's one night, we can suckit up and deal with it for one
night, that's easy enough.
Um, and the fact that I didn'treally want to then go and
cancel and have to pay somewhereelse, and all that kind of
stuff.
So we just dealt with the factthat it was a shared bathroom
bathroom.
I didn't mind it, it was fine.
The rooms were really nice, yepright, very clean, um, very
clean.
The bed was the best beautifullike it was, so comfy it was
(19:40):
like a super king bed, but itwas like enormous.
It was enormous sitting thereand I was sort of falling asleep
and I'm thinking, look over.
I was like where's dave?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
well, we could have had like four of us on the bed
and still had space between allof us.
You know I could have had eight.
Well, yeah, we should have done.
There you go.
So we tried.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, you did try, yeah you did try for a little
while let me tell you about thatlater on yeah and um.
So yeah, we, uh, we tried that,um, we, we checked in.
Really nice Super friendlystaff members.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, they were really good, really helpful as
well Checked out the bathrooms,as we did, had a shower because
we needed one off the sand,because, literally after sitting
on the bed for 10 minutes, werealised that we brought the
whole sand dune with us.
You brought the sand dune intothe room.
It's amazing how much sandsticks to your skin, isn't it?
Yeah, it's crazy, but but so wedid.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We had a shower in the shared accommodation.
Unfortunately, they'reindividual showers which, when I
have a vision of shared showers, I had this vision of, I guess,
Open plan and like the typicalporno, where you walk in and all
the guys are showering underlike the four in a row shower
heads or six in a row or 12 in arow shower heads and they're
(20:42):
all showering and they're allsoaking themselves up.
But it wasn't the case.
Unfortunately, they were allindividual, little rooms.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
This is again a mass fantasies.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I have a few fantasies.
We know that, too much porn,way too much porn, but that's
another thing.
But yeah, so we had a shower,got ready, got a recommendation
from the staff downstairs aboutlocations.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We wanted to go to the RSL, didn't we?
We wanted a local RSL typeplace Because it was round about
.
I don't know.
It was probably about 4 o'clockby the time we got there.
No, it was just close to 5.
No, in terms of like when wegot to the hotel by 4 o'clock we
had a shower, so it was about 5o'clock by the time we wanted
to venture out.
The hotel does provide food,know.
I'm sure it would have beenamazing if we'd stayed.
(21:23):
We've seen people um, you knowjust a typical hotel, um pub,
you know, downstairs, but veryclean, tidy.
I've definitely recommended itand you know, for me it was a
great location, um, but then weasked them for recommendations
of the rsls and they gave us twooptions, didn't they?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
yeah, they gave us I can't remember the other one
because we end up going withwest yeah, yes, mayfield and um,
and it was really cool likeit's a small.
They said that's not thebiggest one, there is a bigger
one, but they said I thoughtthat was a bigger one.
They said it's, it's nice andit's got lots of space and
things like that.
So we walked in there and againit did.
(22:00):
It had really good facilitiesfrom a, a staying there point of
view and stuff like that.
It had a hotel attached to it.
Yep, I checked the rooms out.
They were probably a bit dearerthan we'd paid.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But they had like facilities, like a gym and two
pools there, didn't they?
They had a gym that had twopools.
Look, it was all on one level.
It was smaller than what we'reused to in RSLs.
Back here.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, in rsls back here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, if I stay for work, it'll be definitely
somewhere.
I'll choose to stay, absolutely, um, and it was a little bit
further out than the maincentral town, about an extra 10
minutes, 10 minutes yeah,something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But but, um, but again a great little pub or
sorry club there and um, theygive you, if you join for 10
bucks, you get like 15 off youroff your alcohol and drinks, and
all that kind of stuff and 10off food or something like that
as well.
You get like 15% off youralcohol and drinks and all that
kind of stuff and 10% off foodor something like that as well.
The food was nice.
You get 5% off accommodation inthe place there as well, and if
(22:53):
you're in the accommodation youget the gym as complimentary.
So it worked out pretty goodfrom a price point of view.
I think it was about $229 anight, depending on when you
actually stay, so it wasn't toobad either, I didn't think from
that point of view.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We had dinner.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
West Mayfield.
And then we ventured.
No, we had lunch there.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, we had dinner, yeah, so we had the anticipation
of going to Bernie's barafterwards.
So we had dinner and Mattdecided that he was going to go
in his binder and we were justchecking a few.
But there was a fucking ton ofguys.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
There were so many hot guys in there, oh, my God,
there was some that I sat thereand I went oh my God, I'm going
to fucking come in pants.
But yeah, there was like oneparticular one that was like
wasn't super tall, but he wasmuscular as hell.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
He was tatted up.
Is that the one with the groupof friends With?
Really?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
tight pants.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
With his mates.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, he was just beautiful and then there was a
hot little redhead, whicheveryone listening at home knows
we like a hot redhead and hewas super hot.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But there was also a very, very cute, super nice guy
that worked there.
You know he wasn't gay oranything like that, but he was
an employee.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
He was an employee.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
He had special needs Yep employee and was an employee
.
He had um special needs yep butin terms of like he was
physically able but he just hadI don't know, but he was an
intellectual disability.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah that's about a mild one.
Yeah, very right.
Yeah, and he was just thecutest person, sweetest guy.
He'd come up and go.
Hi guys, you're having a greatnight and you couldn't help but
say yes because he smiled and hemade you have a great night and
sort of you kind of reflectedand went.
Actually I am right, you know,um, because he was just, he was
(24:30):
just so good and he loved itbecause he said are you happy he
goes?
yeah, I love my job, I lovebeing like you know, yeah, and
you could tell he loved it andevery single person he said hi
to they had said hi back.
Yeah, um, no negativity wasthere was, it was just a really
cool guy, um, but then there wasa another there was, so there
was another little gay boy thereand he was fit as hell, but he
(24:53):
was on the app because he was onthe app because he was the
first one who said there waszero, zero away um from me and
not really our um not, not mydemographic as such, not my type
as such, but like he was a, hewas a nice looking boy, young
man, yeah, and stuff like that.
Um, but there was quite a fewthat I was chatting with at that
stage that side.
(25:13):
But again, I was just chattingbecause, yeah, there's no point
we were going to meet.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I didn't have time.
I was there for one day, yeah,um, but it's always good to get
the local, you know the local,sort of find out who's in the
area and stuff like that as welland potentially organize some
stuff for next time.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And there was a couple of guys I was chatting to
and they're a couple and, um, Idefinitely want to meet up with
them next time we go up there,because they were super hot and
just really nice and I thinkthey.
I think we vibed really.
I vibed really well with thembecause I was just chatting with
them basically.
So they were really cool aswell.
So I want to chat with thoseguys a bit more and then,
(25:50):
hopefully, when we get back upto Newcastle which we will be
doing definitely we'll get tohave a bit of fun and play
around with them.
But then we went off toBernie's Bar right in the centre
of town.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
We had a little bit of issues parking because it was
so busy it's busy as hell.
So if you are going to venture,I would say you know, find
there is a, there is a big w andstuff and other car parks close
by, so maybe park there andthen walk down.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's not far, you know but enough about the
parking, let's get to the bar,because we walked in greeted by
fantastic staff checked our idsand all that kind of stuff,
which I felt really grateful for.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And it was free until 10 o'clock, wasn't it?
It was a free entry, should Isay until 10.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So I felt grateful for having my ID checked,
because it always makes you feelgood, regardless of how old you
are and regardless of whetheryou know that they're just
checking for trouble and allthat kind of stuff.
But they had the actual systemdown to a pattern they were
there people, but they was likeyou know, just checking
(26:51):
everybody and making sureeverybody's legally allowed in,
and yep, yeah, all that kind ofstuff.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And it wasn't overly busy when we got there, was it
initially?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
oh, it was a nice crowd, it was a good crowd, yeah
, absolutely now, if we candescribe this crowd, diversity
is the main word that comes tomy mind, right, so I had people
from now.
It's not a gay bar, right, it'sa queer.
It's a queer bar, exactly right, and so queer in every sense of
the word.
There was people from everywalk of life, every demographic,
(27:16):
every demographic, and everyonejust got along.
Right, and it sounds reallykumbaya, but but it was.
People just got along.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Look, I've never been to a queer bar before, and for
me I've only gone to gay orstraight bars.
Straight bars?
Obviously yeah, but I just feltreally comfortable in there it
was just such a good vibe.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, Now Dave said to a few people that it's
probably a crowd that henormally wouldn't well, it's not
a wouldn't hang.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, it's people, I'm not I haven't had the
opportunity.
Yeah, well, it's not that, it'sjust my demographics.
Are people that I, I sort oflike, choose, gravitate, yeah,
gravitate to like gay guys andstuff like yeah, I mean.
So I don't venture out furtherthan that because that isn't
sort of my that's all my exactly, but having I mean I've got no.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
No, no, no discrimination I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I accept everybody, but I haven't delved into
meeting up with people becauseit's not really sort of like my
vibe, if that makes sense andDave's self-employed right so
therefore doesn't have theopportunity to meet, I guess, a
lot of different demographicsevery single day but also, like
for me, I like in the past, youknow that I don't watch drag,
drag race and stuff like that,so it's not something that I
(28:31):
necessarily gravitate to.
I respect people for doing itand I like going out and seeing
shows and stuff like that whichdrag performers are doing and I
can't notice.
I 100 respect to them all andhave fun, but it's not someone
that I would naturally gravitateand just sort of like, okay,
I've got to go there and checkthis out and all this blah, blah
, blah.
But because the whole communitywas there and I genuinely do
(28:52):
say the whole community, becauseyou had every single type of
person there, all the leathersof our rainbow, and I was just
really sort of blown away.
I was like this is super cool.
I'm really having a really nicetime here.
Yeah, there was a lot of peopleto look at.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There was a lot of people to, but they were so
friendly yeah, and theconversations did not stop all
night, so we were lucky enoughto find a table, um, and because
we did get there outside, andthat's sort of outside, I guess
is is the smoking area, butthere wasn't tons.
It's also the alleyway that goesbetween alleyway between the
streets and all that kind ofstuff, right and this venue set
(29:28):
up.
It's got like you walk in,you've got a little bar on the
left, you've got like littleareas for dance floor, you've
got a DJ set up at the back,you've got a little stage in the
corner where the drag shows andthat happen, and then you've
got the outside which is all setup with tables and chairs.
So people can sit around andchat, but there's tables also
inside.
I'm not sure they do.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I didn't see anybody eating, so I'm not sure they did
food there, but again, we wereat the wrong time for that.
Anyway, yeah, definitely thewrong time for that.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
But the crowd, like, we sat down and we spoke to this
one lady and she was a fag hag,probably a little bit younger
than us.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Probably our age, maybe Our age.
Yeah, definitely our age, ourage stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And again, she won't mind us mentioning her name
because she said, feel free likeher name was Anita Yep and she
was sensational and her partnerwas it was Jerry Greg Greg.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Greg, that's right.
It was Greg right.
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Now Greg, I have a feeling that he's quite fluid in
his sexual identity and stufflike that.
But Anita was just awesome.
She described herself as a faghag, right, and she said that
she's been part of the community, the queer community, her whole
entire life.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
She's got grandkids and she's got children and
grandkids.
I think she said Such anawesome person.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We had a chat with her for about two hours probably
.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh, yeah, just non-stop talking the whole time.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Awesome person we had , so we had a chat with her for
about two hours probably.
Oh yeah, we're just non-stoptalking the whole time but she
knew everybody there, didn't she?
Everyone.
She was definitely part of thecommunity, very popular, wasn't
she?
Yeah?
We mentioned that sort of that.
Matt and jeff had actually toldus about this bar and she went
oh yeah, I love those boys yeah,we miss them when they're not
here and all this kind of stuff.
She said like they've been hereas long as I've been here as
(31:10):
part of this bar and DJ DaddyBear does the best DJ sets and
blah blah blah.
So she knew her stuff.
She wasn't a fake and a phony.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
She was part of the community and a really big, but
she had lots of questions for usand things like that as well,
because we explained to her wewere doing a podcast during the
conversations and stuff likethat, explaining to her we were
doing a podcast, you know,during the conversations and
stuff like that, and they werereally engaging with that and
you know, we had a few of ourcards and stuff like that, but
yep, it was just theconversations we were having.
Well, I said to matt, I wishwe'd actually had our podcast
stuff with us, yeah, which weturned out it was in the car,
(31:42):
yeah we didn't realize that wasmy bad.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I thought I'd left it because it would have been the
perfect opportunity to you know,and they were willing to sort
of like talk freely abouteverything.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
But the conversations we had were just so sporadic,
they were just so diverse, theywere just so engaged and they
were just so much more I don'tknow more than I could ever
imagine going to a bar to talkabout, you know.
I mean, yeah, there were lifeexperiences, there were events
that happened and it was so goodwe had lots of little chats
little like a minute here andthere.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Chats with everyone but everybody walked past and
they say hi, and it was justlike hello but the two main
people I guess that we chattedwith was her yep um anita, and
then another young girl umcalled brett, brett right
b-r-a-t.
Right um, which we I thoughtthat's a really cool name, but
it suited her and she was sortof to describe her physically.
(32:31):
She sort of looked like a bitof an Anna Kendrick kind of vibe
.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, anna Kendrick.
Yeah, exactly, she had the longdark hair, long dark hair, and
she was very cool and stuff likethat.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Had that Anna Kendrick vibe, which was really,
really cool, and so we had achat with her.
She was 26 or 27, somethinglike that, and just an absolute
delight.
As well, she's studyingpsychology.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
She's already studied psychology, studied psychology.
So she's studied psychology andeducation.
Yeah, but she doesn't know whatpath she's.
So she's doing research at themoment.
Yeah, because she doesn't knowwhich path she wants to go, but
she's.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Just awesome chats.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And we're not going to get into the detail of that
chat, no, because that's aprivate.
That's her private.
Yeah, but I was blown away withher level of maturity.
I was blown away by the levelof her conversations, yeah, but
also the fact that, you know,she was so comfortable in her
own skin, yep, and she wasnon-judgmental and she actually
had a few um challenges goingthrough that process with her
friends, with friends, andfamily.
Yeah, but she stuck to herground and she pushed through
and she came out the other sidewith like glowing sort of like
(33:36):
energy.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, and just a beautiful aura that I looked at
her and I thought, whatever thehell you're going to actually do
in life, you're going tosucceed.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think she's definitely got a purpose in life
.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I think psychology is her field.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That she needs to pursue.
Working with people isdefinitely her field, so if you
listen, that's where you need togo.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
But yeah, so they had a little market stall at this
little at the bar as well, Didthey?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, where I bought the turtle tape.
Oh, I didn't know, it was amarket stall.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah, it was like a little, it was like a table, a
little table, oh I thought itwas just someone that you had
actually gone and spoken to.
No, no, it was a little tableand they had a whole little
setup of these things.
Now, if you've got access toInstagram which it's 2024, 2025,
and you fucking should have,but you need to check it out and
(34:33):
the Instagram handle is theyunderscore craft, as in T-h-e-y
underscore c-r-a-f-t right now,the things that this person, who
her identity was um, was shewas non-binary.
they were non-binary, so theythem and they made the cutest
little gay turtles right, littlepride turtles, or crocheted
crochet and the cutest littleducks right, and they also made
(34:54):
that they didn't have any of onthe night um butt plugs,
crocheted butt plugs.
Now they're going to actuallyhave a stall at fair day this
year, so it's going to be quitecool.
So I'm definitely going to getmyself a crocheted butt plug um
from them.
Yep, and it was fantastic they.
They also had a lot of otherlittle art pieces and that as
(35:14):
well, that were really good.
Yeah, so definitely head alongto their instagram, give them a
follow, give them a like, put inan order for they craft, they
underscore, craft um on theinstagram and check it out,
because, because their stuff wasjust so cool and fun and very…
Artistic yeah, artistic, but itwas just whimsical, well made,
(35:38):
whimsical, very well made, wellmade, very, very well made, and
so soft.
The wool was so soft.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Apparently, anita was saying that she just sits there
and she does it.
She can do it in record time,can't she?
Yeah, she's going gonna listento our podcast, while while,
while they, while they knit away.
But yeah, so um great people,yep, we'll definitely go back
and we wait, wait, wait, wait,wait.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
The drag queen oh, oh , yeah the main performer on the
night right um, and Sheenita iswhat her name was, right Check
it out mate, holy Christ.
Now for those that play alongat home and watch Drag Race.
If you think Priyanka andShangela right, this girl's
(36:21):
makeup was fucking flawless.
When I looked at her I went youare, your mug is now for Dave.
Your mug is your face.
Yeah, I get that Right.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I know, what that means?
Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It was like absolutely on point.
There was just just perfection,all right.
Now to say she looked amazingis one thing, because she did
right.
Just a snatched fucking padded.
Everything was where it shouldbe spectacular, and we're a
little bar in newcastle, allright.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
if she was a sydney queen she'd be getting top
billing and things like that Iwas like really blown away as
well because I mean I I don'tnormally sort of like gravitate
towards that side of the actualcommunity because obviously I
don't follow it, but I stillappreciate and admire them.
Yeah, like I said, I go go tovenues and I have a good time
and they're great performers.
I really do admire what they do, yeah, but I was like really
(37:15):
blown away as well because Imean I would say that she was
probably the most glamorous oneI've ever seen of clothes and
you know, in things there'susually a bit of rough like drag
queens, and apologies to thequeer community and the drag
community.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Oh, this is great, but you usually look a little
rough at some times, right, shedid a number Come back.
There wasn't a fucking drop ofsweat on her brow, right?
Well, she was hot after sheshould find herself hot she was
definitely hot, but I tell youwhat her bloody makeup was
hiding.
It all I tell you.
And the setting spray wasworking its ass off.
(37:54):
And I tell you just the thenumber the dance ability.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
There was a couple of um drug artists I saw that they
were also very, very great acouple of queens wondering they
were good she definitely took,but she took the cake and and
her instagram, while I'm givingout is she need a.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
She underscore, need a.
So S-H-E, underscore, n-e-e-d-a, like she need a dick, she need
a whatever, she need a cash tip, she needs followers, but she
need a follower.
But yeah, she was flawless.
I did ask her whether she'dauditioned for Red Bull Strikers
Down Under and she said she hadsent in an audition tape for
(38:29):
season four but hadn't gotten on, obviously, so she needs to be
on there.
I said keep plugging, you needto be on.
I'm going to be taggingRuPaul's Drag Race Down.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Under You're actually going to contact.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
RuPaul and tell her directly Well, okay, RuPaul
doesn't do the.
Down Under show now MichelleVersace does.
But I'll be letting michelleknow that she needs this queen.
This is matt and I'm tellingyou, yeah, I'm a fan and she
needs this queen on.
So mary poppins, which was aqueen from season two, was there
as well, um, not in drag, uh,but as as her male, and I can't
(39:03):
remember I need to point her out, but yeah, yep, um, but again,
queen was busy in conversationand stuff like that as well,
with a lot of people.
But she was there as well aspart of the Newcastle scene as
well for those that do followDrag Race and it was awesome.
Now, the vibe, sensational, thecommunity, all parts of her
(39:24):
life, the trans community, wouldhighly represent her there from
all levels Baby queens outthere, young boys that are just
coming.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I genuinely feel that .
You know, it doesn't matterwhether you're straight queer
gay or whatever.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
That was my next point.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
There is a niche in that group for everybody and
nobody would, in my opinion, beuncomfortable going there.
No, correct?
I think you know.
Seeing the vibe, seeing the um,the atmosphere, it was one of
the best pubs I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
in that regards dick and fanny when we picked up um
dick and fanny when we picked upon blondie today that they
would love it because and theywould because dick loves a chat
as well with he loves diversityhe loves diversity and he loves
to actually get to know peopleand I mean, and I mean really,
and I've seen it with people onthe street, like with homeless
(40:15):
people on the street, and hestopped and he's had a chat and
he's gotten their life storywithin three minutes, right, um,
because I can chat, but he canchat he's really engaging.
Yeah, absolutely so the thing isthat he, he would have been, we
would never have gotten out ofthere.
We'd still be there now, butyeah, it was frigging awesome.
Bernie's Bar highlight of thatpart up until that point in time
(40:38):
.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Newcastle yeah, and we will go back and do a podcast
.
We spoke to the management.
They came out and they spokeand they're more than happy to
assist us in, you know doingthat.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
So we'll do a bit of a spot from up there one night.
So hopefully, sort of yeahdefinitely.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
That was definitely a big tick, tick, tick.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
So yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely awesome.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
And that was pretty much Newcastle really for us.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
No, we went for a wander this morning.

Yep, after a confrontation, ohthat was a nightmare.
Dick had thought he was goingto stand in a parking spot.
I ended up giving up because hewasn't moving and I didn't want
(41:52):
to hit him, and I think Davewas going from zero to 100 in no
time at all.
So we just drove off, found aparking spot, wandered down to
the beach, wandered along theNewcastle Ocean Baths.
Yep, Just old Art Deco.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, Art Deco yeah, definitely um new newcastle
ocean baths.
Yep, just old art deco, yeah,art deco, yeah, definitely 100%
it's like the facade originalbecause obviously, um, the back
end of it would have beendeteriorated, but they've
managed to keep the appeal.
But I didn't realize until youwent behind that, um, it was
just like an open pool that theycreated.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
So, yeah, it's just amazing.
It's so cool, awesome and I'vebeen there before and seen it
before, but it was just so cooland, um, it was just so hot it
was, but it was just it was.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
It was hot in terms of meat, yeah but men yeah but
the men as well.
So, um, yeah, I was families,it was so many families and it
was great to see everybodyenjoying themselves.
It was a really fun part, agood community and the beach bit

Yeah, yeah, right, theNewcastle Beach, that was the
surf lifesaving club there.
It was just.
They've got this mushroomtoasty, basically.
Yeah, if you can hear the noise.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah, you can hear some background noise.
We've got a storm coming overat the moment and it's crazy out
there.
I was wondering what Matt waslooking like.
I can see that the storm isdefinitely coming over T.
I was wondering what Matt waslooking like.
I can see that the storm isdefinitely coming over.
Trees are going crazy out there.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
I've already lost power in my place over in Mogawa
.
Yeah, but he had.
It was a mushroom and kaletoastie, basically With cheese.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
With cheese and everything like that.
It was amazing.
I loved it.
I had a bacon egg roll.
It was absolutely delicious, so, so tasty.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
And again for a surf life-saving club.
That was bumpy.
Every single piece of food wasmade fresh, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
The guy that was running was pretty hot as well,
wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (43:56):
He was really hot, actually, he was very hot there
was a lot of hot guys, so itwasn't hot, but yeah, there was.
So when we went.
Oh, let me go back to theNewcastle bath for a second.
Matt likes going to the toiletsbecause he's always like I'm
going to have a look, you've gotto check out stuff, but he's
always needed to go for a wee Ialways need to wee anyway
because of my baby bladder butwalked in and they have the kind
(44:18):
of showers I like.
So the open showers, there'sjust like a little wooden frame
open changing room so you cansee anyone that's changing in
there.
Now, I would never invadesomebody's privacy and take
photos or video in those areas,because that is highly illegal
and we don't do that right, wedon't do it we visualize.
But I swear to god, I waswishing I had a camera in my
(44:38):
head because I just was likeholy shit, there was a guy in
there with a freaking giant dick.
Um, right, and I, I again.
Size is not important, but agood big dick looks really
pretty.
So, um, yeah so, um, and he hada really nice big dick.
There's a younger guy that hada really nice, just your right
size, that, um, nice uncut cock.
(45:01):
He was hairy all over as well.
I'm sat there and I walked backout and I went I'm looking for
dave, trying to get him to go inthere, and they couldn't find
him.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
I'll sit there watching matt as he was coming
out and I was trying to get himto go in there and I couldn't
find him because he wandered offsomewhere else.
I was sitting there watchingMatt as he was coming out and I
was trying to phone him sayingI'm over here, matt, and he was
just oblivious to everything.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I was looking for him and wandering somewhere else.
So yeah, check the change roomsout, people, you'll love it.
I've entered in later on.
He went in after and there wasnobody in there, but I get the
set up.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
It was great.
It was very traditional 1930sstyle.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
So we wandered along the beat, took some photos,
checked out some people it wasjust good walking around.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
It was beautiful.
It was just beautiful and thenwe got in the car and then
headed to the Westfields.
Well, we thought, no, it wasn'tWestfields, it was Big W.
Yeah, we headed to wherever itwas Because we were trying to
find a birthday present for ourfriend and we can't remember
what His diehard.
His name is Diehard Bruce.
His name is Bruce.
Yeah, bruce, that's hispseudonym.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
His partner is Bruce yeah, diehard is his name and
his partner's name is Bruce, sowe went to diehard's birthday
and we needed to find a presentstuff like that, so we went
headed down towards where theylive, which is a different part
of Niagara Park area?
Speaker 2 (46:15):
yeah, down towards the Lizzaro, isn't it?
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (46:18):
yeah, down that way, yep and um, it was.
It was lovely picked up what weneeded to and then headed to
their place because we werestaying at their house that
night, yep, and met up with somewonderful and met up with some
wonderful, wonderful friendsthat they had Now.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I've met these people many times because I've been
over to their place a few timessince they've moved in and what
I can explain to you is they'rein a gated community but the
people, the neighbors and thecommunity that they have living
in them are just amazing.
They're all amazing peoplethey're.
So you know it's got.
It's got that nice vibe abouteach other.
(46:51):
They all look out for eachother, they all socialize
together.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
They have the amenities but obviously Will and
Dan have got other friends andstuff like that, but yeah, so it
was.
Their friends were really good.
The party was awesome, right,really well catered for.
Bruce made pizzas homemadepizzas and stuff like that.
They were bloody delicious andwent down to the pool, had some
(47:19):
drinks, had some chats, had somemore chats, had some more chats
.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
But you actually got to meet these people and I'd
explain to you who these peoplewere.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
In the past, dave was a bit enamoured by one slash,
two slash, three slash, four ofthese guys.
No, were in the past.
Dave was a bit enamoured by 1,2, 3, 4 of these guys.
Dave loves a chat and Dave wasreally excited for me to meet
these people because they'rereally genuinely nice people.
They're all nice people,genuinely really nice people,
and they're wise and everythingelse as well, like yeah.
So we went there and got to meetdifferent ones over the whole
(47:47):
period, over the night and stufflike that, had some fantastic
chats, conversations, and I canwholeheartedly understand why
Dave absolutely adores them,because they were all just
absolutely amazing.
People had, like I said,different chats with different
ones as well.
Look, the ladies were beautiful, beautiful One in particular
(48:10):
the German guy, his wife she'sstunning, all right she is
absolutely gorgeous.
I was sitting there and goingoh my god, you are so beautiful,
right?
But her husband, again, is astunner.
He's just such a handsome man,but he's just so he's sense of
(48:30):
humor, yeah, he's twisted likeme, right?
Yeah, and he's naughty and he'scheeky, so it makes him so much
more likable as well.
Um, so I can see like, andtheir banter was just so good,
I'm sitting there and I'm goingoh my god, you guys are the
perfect couple, and I understandthat no such thing happens.
There's no such thing as aperfect couple, but they were
(48:53):
just absolutely awesome together.
Um, because she was in on everyjoke, he was in on every joke.
They've known each other for Idon't know how long, but I'm
guessing a lifetime.
Well, they got.
They got two kids together.
Yeah, you're guessing a lifetimeyeah, because they've just
really their banter was on point.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Well, we'll get them to give us a name that we can
call them, because we're notgoing to mention their real name
no, no, no it's not what we dobut but again, fantastic people.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
So I get why dave loved them, yep and sort of he.
He knew that I'd get along andand I did, it definitely did.
And then others throughout thewhole evening again, um, just
but it was just fun, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (49:31):
it was just fun, fun night they, the kids, were there
as well, wasn't?
Speaker 1 (49:35):
it.
So all the kids, a lot of themhaving kids.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I've got kids and it's nice because you know they
can let the kids run freely,because it's a gated community,
yeah, um, so the kids were outdoing everything, coming back in
, having food and off andrunning around.
So the adults were able torelax and just sort of have fun
drinking, talking, yeah, and,and you know, just engaging in
conversation.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yeah, it was a really fun night and, yeah, I was
really glad I got invited.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
Normally it goes on a little bit longer, from my past
experiences there.
But you know we're all gettingold.
But it was still like Godmidnight oh.
Speaker 1 (50:05):

(00:55):
On today's episode we're goingto chat about our little long
weekend away.
We just got back from a longweekend Well, it's like a short
trip, but a long trip Mini tripwhere we've crammed an absolute
shit ton in, as usual.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Where did we go, dave ?
Well, we headed up to theCentral Coast initially, matt,
just because I had to go andpick up a window for my property
.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well, our main purpose originally was to head
up there because we had somewonderful friends having a
birthday.
Yep, a friend that's having abirthday and they live on the
Central Coast.
Yeah, and just so happened tofall in line with the fact that
you found a round window forthose who are playing along at
home in Sesame Street On PlaySchool.
Yeah, play School, that's theword I'm looking at Thank you.
(01:47):
There you go.
So you found the round windowand you went through the round
window and you found the roundwindow, and so the round window
was at a place called Noravilleon the central coast.
Now, as a young Matt, Iactually had some neighbours
that were pretty awesome andthey had a caravan at Norah Head
Caravan Park.
So I used to, and Norah Villain, norah Head Caravan Park is, or
(02:10):
Norah Head, are really nextdoor to each other, so let's
check this place out.
So we ventured up on Saturdaymid-morning, early morning.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah well, we left this place around about or your
place, should I say around about7.30ish, because we had to drop
the dogs off first.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Some amazing friends of mine said, yes, we'd love to
babysit.
So Fanny and Dick, and so theybabysit the babies for me.
We went on a little adventure,so we went up to Norah Head it
was a good time, didn't we?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We got up there by about 10.30, I think it was yeah
it takes no time at all to getup there now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's really good, really quick trip, really easy
trip.
But Norah Head hasn't changed.
It's stuck in time.
It's just as beautiful as itwas, as I remember it being when
I was younger.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now I had been up there before, which I didn't
realise.
Yeah, so I'd been to CentralCoast and been to Linden Pass,
but it didn't jog my memoryuntil we actually got there.
Yeah, I'd actually been therebefore, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So the lighthouse.
We went to go to the rock poolbecause that was a real fun
memory for me, yeah, but then wesort of couldn't get parking at
the lighthouse, sorry, at therock pool.
So we journeyed on a little bitfurther to the rock pool and
went to the oh fuck Journeyed onfrom the rock pool to the
lighthouse, which isn't a greatdistance at all in terms of like
A couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And wandered down the rocks and did what we do.
And let's have a look at sexymen.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, well, we saw like observed the views first,
didn't we yeah.
And we saw that they had someaccommodation up by the
lighthouse, didn't we?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, they did, they did some and they've basically
got some, yeah, some littleCottages.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Cottages.
Let's call them cottages, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They're big brick home type things.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think they used to like be workers' cottages that
actually maintained the actuallighthouse and stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So they're pretty old looking standstone but typical
that that sort of period thatmakes sense, yes, and they're
really cool looking and you canactually hire them out and we're
going to have a look and seehow much they are to hire out,
because it would be a greatlocation right on the point of
norah head there, great viewsfrom up there and stuff like
(04:22):
that, yep.
But then wander, wandered downto the old wooden stairs that
were like, really cool lookingas well, yep.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And you had your camera with you.
Yeah, I took my big boy camera.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I did take my drone, but then there were signs
everywhere saying you can't flyyour drone here.
So I didn't fly the drone.
I was a good boy.
I didn't break any rules, nope,apart from maybe occasionally
photographing a hot person.
That's not a rule.
You're allowed to do that, Ithink, aren't you?
Well, I'm sure there's rulesfor everything.
Yeah, of course you are.
We are.
(04:53):
We gave ourselves permission,as we do always, as we do.
So we went down the littlestairway and had a wander around
the rocks and the beach andeverywhere, like that, checking
all the hot daddies out.
While we were down thereChecking, there was a couple of
really hot daddies.
There was, yeah, there was onereally hot younger guy like I'm
saying, 25-ish.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
No, I'd say he's older than that.
Ah, the one with the dog?
Yeah, really Okay.
All right, I didn't ask for hisID.
Yeah, I'll check it later.
I checked him on Instagram now,didn't I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he had hisdog in the water with him,
didn't?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
he?
Yeah, he was a really coolcocker, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, he was really cool and that was really good.
The dog was loving it, wasn'the?
He was having so much fun.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
He, the rock pulls ourselves.
What me?
And then what happened?
Well, I was really fixated onthese really cute little crabs
that were like wiggling inbetween the rocks and rocks and
all that kind of stuff and hecalled me over, called me over,
said dad, there's dave, there'scrabs in here right, and so he
was having a little crouchingdown and then all of a sudden,
we got smashed by this wave,yeah, we got soaked, absolutely
soaked.
D's shoes got soaked to thebone, squelchy everywhere, yep.
(06:07):
So that was fun.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Unexpected.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Unfortunately, I wasn't video at that point in
time, you kind of dried outquite quickly, apart from my
shoes.
I thought my shoes had actuallydried out, but they hadn't.
No, they hadn't Because theyput them in the car and oh, they
smelt like wet shoes.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
They did, yeah, so it was pretty gross.
But from there, where did wejourney?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We drove up then because we were heading towards
Newcastle, because that's wherewe were staying for the night,
wasn't we?
Yeah, and I mentioned to you onthe journey going up that we
should maybe just have a call into Birdie Beach.
Oh, what's Birdie Beach, dave?
So Birdie Beach is a beach thathas optional clothing on it as
well.
A nudie rudie beach, a nudiebeach, absolutely Okay.
(06:47):
So, yeah, I've never been therebefore.
I've been there twice before,but I'm talking, you know,
you're talking like nine, tenyears ago, when I was up there
last, yeah, and I hadn't sort oflike remembered too much about
it.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Now, I've been to a nude beach.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been to a nude beach or two, yeah and we've
discussed this on previouspodcasts that we were going to
check out more nude beaches,haven't we?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So I just suggested to you.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
we're on the way, we have plenty of time.
Yeah, let's go and check it out.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And we did, and so my first impression was that, like
it's really organised,especially like okay, there is,
like I said, there is clothingoptional for a certain part of
the beach, right, so the otherpart of the beach is just
everyday, ordinary beach andit's a beautiful white sandy
beach with a big rock in themiddle of the ocean and stuff
(07:33):
like that.
It's really quite monumentalist, if that's a word, I don't know
.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't think it is, but hey, it sounds good, it's
fucking big, okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Big fucking rock.
That looks sexy as hell.
Fucking big, okay, yep.
Big fucking rock.
That looked sexy as hell, yep.
But then sort of up to the leftand the way it looked on the
map, I thought we're going to bewalking for an hour to get to
the nude beach.
It was literally about afive-minute walk up the beach.
I'll say a bit longer than that, given the height.
Well, only because we stoppedand looked at everyone on the
way.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, you know, you come out over the dunes and the
fucking sun was hot, wasn't it?
Oh yeah, the sun was fuckinghot.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That'll happen when it's sunny.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But the car park facility is good.
They've got toilets there,great.
They've got like a shower roomover there and stuff like that.
Yeah, got everything there.
So you know, you climb throughthe well, you climb, you walk
through the sand dunes.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Along the beach and through the back there's like
sand dunes and stuff like that.
So I'd say probably about.
I was probably about 10-15minute walk down to the end
where we were staying, okay.
So there's a little lagoonopposite the beach and that's
sort of where the, where thegays are known to hang out, um,
so, and you can confirm thatthat's where the gays were
hanging out for the majority ofit, in the lagoon, occasionally
there'd be um a couple of girlsthat would come over with their
partners and sort of jump in fora dip because they didn't like
(08:49):
the surf so much but they wantedthe lagoon, and when we say
lagoon it's just like a peatbased water, but it was fresh.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know, it was probably fresh water, wasn't it?
I don't know it was nice, butit wasn't connected to the sea,
so it would be.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It was refreshing that's for sure, yep.
And so we jumped in there, hada little bit of sunbaked.
Well, we stripped it off first,didn't we?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Oh yeah, obviously Got our dicks out, yep, because
again neither of us are shy Putsome sun cream on, but there
wasn't a lot of sun cream to goaround because Matt had left it
in the car.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, no, I found out that.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I actually left it at home, oh.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I've got tons more at home, like I'm talking tons and
tons you didn't tell me that.
No, no, I'm a dickhead.
So anyway, we lathered up somesunscreen and because we were
rubbing each other up, theremight have been a little bit of
movement.
So I get excited fairly easymyself.
You ventured off first, so Idecided to go for a wander and I
(09:43):
went in the water to rinse thesand and the sunscreen off my
hands and things like that, andwent for a wander because we
could see some people wanderingup the back of the bushes.
I thought, oh, I wonder whathappens up there.
I didn't wonder what happens upthere.
I know what happens in the backof bushes when you go to a
nudist beach.
I've been to a couple speech.
(10:05):
I've been to a couple um, forthose listening along at home,
what happens is men tend totouch each other and play with
each other and kiss and cuddleand do things that people that
love each other do, or they justwalk past and say hi and just
keep them walking and keep themwalking, yeah, so, yeah, all
kinds of stuff happens, yep, um.
So I took a wander around and,um, you came back pretty quickly
come back pretty quick because,like number one, I had no shoes
(10:27):
on at that stage.
And the sand, when we're talkinghot on the beach, on the normal
beach, the sand up there,literally I felt like it took
off a few layers of my skin.
It was so fucking hot, Jesus,why don't you put shade up?
So you came back and used thewater and I said it was quite a
(10:47):
few hotties up there and stuff.
But I said if we're going upthere, we need to be putting
shoes on inside.
I said let's go for a wander.
So we did.
So we did put shoes on and wentfor a wander all the way down
through the bushes.
Yeah, Met up with a few peopleon the way.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, stopped another break and then carried on
walking.
A break, hang on.
What's a break, dave?
A break is, like you know, acock break.
Oh, a cock break.
Yeah, because there wassomebody.
There was no coffee serving, sowe just had a bit of cock
instead.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, a bit of cock instead.
So there was a guy in theirbushes that was sort of standing
there fully hard.
So we thought, oh, we bettersee what that looks like, and he
was very grateful.
He was very grateful.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
He said thank you, yep, very polite, very polite.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So thank you very much for putting my dick in your
mouth and stuff like that, andwe then carried on our ventures.
We could hear a lot of activitygoing on, couldn't we in the
background, but we didn't knowwhat it was going to be, didn't
know where, so we continued upthe path, passing an old friend
of ours, but yeah, we didn'tknow that Well.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I sort of thought it was because I said to you that
looks like blah blah, Such andsuch as dick.
And I went.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
God, you've seen so many, yet you can still work out
whose is whose.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm a good boy like that.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm a good boy Photographic cock memory.
But yeah, so it turns out itwas him later, when we were on
our way back and we seen him.
But we continued on and we runinto a whole heap of guys that
were actually Camping in thebush From a I think they're from
Gay Newcastle Camping orsomething like that some group.
I tried to actually Google.
(12:19):
I couldn't find it.
I will find it a little bitharder and hopefully tag them on
the um on their podcast when I,when I post this one.
But, um, the guys that run thator the part of that were um and
they won't mind us using theirnames because they were actually
, yeah, telling us and sayingmatt dj yeah, no, it was um dj
(12:41):
daddy bear, and his name wasmatt yes, and then his partner's
name was jeff and they had agood conversation with us, as
they were.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Other people talking um, standing around, chatting,
everybody was nude, but nothinghappened, yeah jeff was very,
very lovely, very personable.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yep, um, just just having a great chat, stopping in
the middle of the bushes,completely naked, all these guys
, just like it was a normalthing to do, which really made
it really comfortable andactually really good.
And he was telling us how he'sa big fan of being part of a
community, a queer community inNewcastle, and things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And it was him that told us about the actual
Bernie's.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Bar.
Yeah, so he told us that weneeded to check out a place
called Bernie's Bar.
So tell us about Bernie's.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Bar, dave.
Well, we'll come back to thatin a minute because we're
obviously going to head back.
Oh, okay, so we'll talk aboutBernie's Beach first, we'll come
back to Bernie's Bar, so yeah,so the conversation was
basically just very fluid, um,very engaging, um, this guy,
jeff, was just like a knowledgeof everything and very like.
So very engaging, veryhospitable in every single way.
(13:55):
Yeah, lovely, lovely, yeah, yeah.
So we then carried on, you know, past them after we having a
good chat with them and thoughtwe'd go venturing further into
the, into the bush, and came toa dead end Somebody suggested
that we go up the path.
So we didn't really, yeah, butwe didn't really go any further
because we couldn't.
So we came back, acknowledgedthem again on the way back, saw
there was a few more people thatwe hadn't seen in tents, and I
(14:16):
thought, holy fuck, there's morepeople there than we thought.
And then we carried on the wayback to the way we came to the
point where then we met up withthe guy that I know what.
We won't name names, um, but um, it turned out to be him and a
very good friend of mine.
And yeah, um had a chat.
Yeah, part of the naked mancamp group.
You know I mean, so that wasreally cool, and you know he was
(14:38):
there for the, you know, justfor the day, um, and yeah, he
was happy to see us and have alittle bit of chat and then,
basically, um, then he explainedthat you know, we could venture
off further up into the bushesthrough a different direction.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, so we thought, oh, okay, we'll go and try that
out and he was more activitypretty right up there wasn't.
He was indeed, so there wasquite a few more people.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
There's a couple of people that we'd seen come to
the beach that were fullyclothed not not fully clothed,
but they hadn't straightened offnaked.
And we'd seen them going offinto the bush, but we hadn't
really sort of like you know,seen them naked I suppose.
And then obviously they werethen up in the bushes and they'd
obviously taken their clothesoff at that point, yep, and
there was a few more activitieshappening up there, wasn't there
(15:21):
man?
So like coits um giraffescheckers well, there was a few
birds up there.
Oh, there was a few wildanimals.
There was a few wild animals,there's quite a hot, a very hot
older animal.
Yeah, nice beard and cockles.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah so.
So there was quite a few bears,um, but yeah, so it was
actually quite a lot of fun.
We scratched some itches inthere and did what we do.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, and then Matt decided that he couldn't resist
the urge and yeah, the rest washistory.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And anyway, yep, that's what Dave gets if he puts
my dick in his mouth.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So yeah, so basically , that was birdie beach birdie
beach and it was great it was.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It was great definitely a few hours, weren't
we?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
yeah, we weren't there for long.
We'll definitely take a shelterwith us next time because, um,
it was very warm, it wasdefinitely warm and and, yeah,
probably take a few.
I left my socks in, like I putmy socks out to dry because they
were so wet from the the therock pool situation and then
walking back because, you know,I had my I don't know.
(16:30):
I think I just put my shoesback on, didn't I?
I didn't realize, yeah then wegot back to the car and realized
I'd left my socks drying on butyou had, just you had your
shoes on from when we wereactually in the bushes?
Oh yeah, because that part ofthe beach was quite cool.
It wasn't sort of likeexcessively hot, was it, you
know?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
so yeah, so yeah but um, yeah, so we, um.
So we went back out of thereand then headed by the sun dunes
checking a few other guys outbecause that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, because yeah, when you were, you were quick, a
little bit keen, I suppose, togo down to the sort of
heterosexual part where you needto go and check out the guys
and marry guys.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Let me go and check out the hot.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I didn't suggest you could, but then you decide no,
I'm not going to, because davewas very against it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So I just followed.
I said okay.
He said why don't you want?
You want to look at vagina?
And I went no, I want to lookat the things that are with the
vaginas, like the married guys,and check out them.
But anyway, it was too much.
So anyway, we went back to thecar, got in the car car and then
headed on into Newey.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Newey, yeah To Newcastle, but you were sort of
like quite taken by the jokebecause there's a lot of nice
places.
What we went through to get toNewcastle wasn't there.
Yeah, and Swansea was one ofthe ones that you really loved.
Swansea grabbed me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And I definitely want to check Swansea out because it
was just stunning, stunning.
When we went over the bridge atSwansea, um, it just the
waterways looked amazing.
There was always somethinghappening, because we drove back
and forth over it a couple oftimes and it just looked really,
really nice.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And bear in mind this is the long weekend of
Australia Day, so that's astandpoint for us.
So we're talking the 25th ofJanuary up to the 27th yeah yeah
, 25th to 27th yeah um, but itlooked absolutely stunning.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Um definitely want to go and check it out because it
looks beautiful.
I do love the Central Coast.
I think it's a beautiful partof the town.
It is beautiful and stuff likethat, but I've got some friends
that actually live up there Yep,me too Now and it's amazing.
I think it's absolutelygorgeous, as well as a little
holiday place.
Don't know if I could livethere at this point in time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Once as a little holiday place.
I don't know if I could livethere at this point in time.
Once I get ready to retire.
We've got further plans.
You know, central Coast isdefinitely a place that I could
definitely retire if I had theoption for sure, but Brisbane is
definitely our favourite forliving at.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
But anyway, we're digressing so we went to
Newcastle, all right, checkedinto our hotel.
Which hotel was that?
Well, it was a pub Fundament toour hotel.
Um, which hotel was that waspub?
Yeah, fundamentally it's calledthe albion hotel and it was
very centralized, wasn't itreally?
Great location, fantasticlocation, in mayfield and um.
And we basically said to thebar staff there look, we got
(18:56):
there, checked in and we didn'tcheck into a different hotel
because it had shared bathrooms,right, and I for some reason
thought that this had its ownbathrooms in the room.
And when we got there, um, whatright?
Oops, I was wrong.
She said, look, you know, justso you know, blah, blah, blah.
And I went, oh shit, and said,okay, all good, we're here.
(19:17):
Now it's one night, we can suckit up and deal with it for one
night, that's easy enough.
Um, and the fact that I didn'treally want to then go and
cancel and have to pay somewhereelse, and all that kind of
stuff.
So we just dealt with the factthat it was a shared bathroom
bathroom.
I didn't mind it, it was fine.
The rooms were really nice, yepright, very clean, um, very
clean.
The bed was the best beautifullike it was, so comfy it was
(19:40):
like a super king bed, but itwas like enormous.
It was enormous sitting thereand I was sort of falling asleep
and I'm thinking, look over.
I was like where's dave?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
well, we could have had like four of us on the bed
and still had space between allof us.
You know I could have had eight.
Well, yeah, we should have done.
There you go.
So we tried.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well, you did try, yeah you did try for a little
while let me tell you about thatlater on yeah and um.
So yeah, we, uh, we tried that,um, we, we checked in.
Really nice Super friendlystaff members.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, they were really good, really helpful as
well Checked out the bathrooms,as we did, had a shower because
we needed one off the sand,because, literally after sitting
on the bed for 10 minutes, werealised that we brought the
whole sand dune with us.
You brought the sand dune intothe room.
It's amazing how much sandsticks to your skin, isn't it?
Yeah, it's crazy, but but so wedid.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
We had a shower in the shared accommodation.
Unfortunately, they'reindividual showers which, when I
have a vision of shared showers, I had this vision of, I guess,
Open plan and like the typicalporno, where you walk in and all
the guys are showering underlike the four in a row shower
heads or six in a row or 12 in arow shower heads and they're
(20:42):
all showering and they're allsoaking themselves up.
But it wasn't the case.
Unfortunately, they were allindividual, little rooms.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
This is again a mass fantasies.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I have a few fantasies.
We know that, too much porn,way too much porn, but that's
another thing.
But yeah, so we had a shower,got ready, got a recommendation
from the staff downstairs aboutlocations.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We wanted to go to the RSL, didn't we?
We wanted a local RSL typeplace Because it was round about
.
I don't know.
It was probably about 4 o'clockby the time we got there.
No, it was just close to 5.
No, in terms of like when wegot to the hotel by 4 o'clock we
had a shower, so it was about 5o'clock by the time we wanted
to venture out.
The hotel does provide food,know.
I'm sure it would have beenamazing if we'd stayed.
(21:23):
We've seen people um, you knowjust a typical hotel, um pub,
you know, downstairs, but veryclean, tidy.
I've definitely recommended itand you know, for me it was a
great location, um, but then weasked them for recommendations
of the rsls and they gave us twooptions, didn't they?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
yeah, they gave us I can't remember the other one
because we end up going withwest yeah, yes, mayfield and um,
and it was really cool likeit's a small.
They said that's not thebiggest one, there is a bigger
one, but they said I thoughtthat was a bigger one.
They said it's, it's nice andit's got lots of space and
things like that.
So we walked in there and againit did.
(22:00):
It had really good facilitiesfrom a, a staying there point of
view and stuff like that.
It had a hotel attached to it.
Yep, I checked the rooms out.
They were probably a bit dearerthan we'd paid.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But they had like facilities, like a gym and two
pools there, didn't they?
They had a gym that had twopools.
Look, it was all on one level.
It was smaller than what we'reused to in RSLs.
Back here.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, in rsls back here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, if I stay for work, it'll be definitely
somewhere.
I'll choose to stay, absolutely, um, and it was a little bit
further out than the maincentral town, about an extra 10
minutes, 10 minutes yeah,something like that.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But but, um, but again a great little pub or
sorry club there and um, theygive you, if you join for 10
bucks, you get like 15 off youroff your alcohol and drinks, and
all that kind of stuff and 10off food or something like that
as well.
You get like 15% off youralcohol and drinks and all that
kind of stuff and 10% off foodor something like that as well.
The food was nice.
You get 5% off accommodation inthe place there as well, and if
(22:53):
you're in the accommodation youget the gym as complimentary.
So it worked out pretty goodfrom a price point of view.
I think it was about $229 anight, depending on when you
actually stay, so it wasn't toobad either, I didn't think from
that point of view.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
We had dinner.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
West Mayfield.
And then we ventured.
No, we had lunch there.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, we had dinner, yeah, so we had the anticipation
of going to Bernie's barafterwards.
So we had dinner and Mattdecided that he was going to go
in his binder and we were justchecking a few.
But there was a fucking ton ofguys.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
There were so many hot guys in there, oh, my God,
there was some that I sat thereand I went oh my God, I'm going
to fucking come in pants.
But yeah, there was like oneparticular one that was like
wasn't super tall, but he wasmuscular as hell.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
He was tatted up.
Is that the one with the groupof friends With?
Really?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
tight pants.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
With his mates.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, he was just beautiful and then there was a
hot little redhead, whicheveryone listening at home knows
we like a hot redhead and hewas super hot.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
But there was also a very, very cute, super nice guy
that worked there.
You know he wasn't gay oranything like that, but he was
an employee.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
He was an employee.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
He had special needs Yep employee and was an employee
.
He had um special needs yep butin terms of like he was
physically able but he just hadI don't know, but he was an
intellectual disability.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah that's about a mild one.
Yeah, very right.
Yeah, and he was just thecutest person, sweetest guy.
He'd come up and go.
Hi guys, you're having a greatnight and you couldn't help but
say yes because he smiled and hemade you have a great night and
sort of you kind of reflectedand went.
Actually I am right, you know,um, because he was just, he was
(24:30):
just so good and he loved itbecause he said are you happy he
goes?
yeah, I love my job, I lovebeing like you know, yeah, and
you could tell he loved it andevery single person he said hi
to they had said hi back.
Yeah, um, no negativity wasthere was, it was just a really
cool guy, um, but then there wasa another there was, so there
was another little gay boy thereand he was fit as hell, but he
(24:53):
was on the app because he was onthe app because he was the
first one who said there waszero, zero away um from me and
not really our um not, not mydemographic as such, not my type
as such, but like he was a, hewas a nice looking boy, young
man, yeah, and stuff like that.
Um, but there was quite a fewthat I was chatting with at that
stage that side.
(25:13):
But again, I was just chattingbecause, yeah, there's no point
we were going to meet.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I didn't have time.
I was there for one day, yeah,um, but it's always good to get
the local, you know the local,sort of find out who's in the
area and stuff like that as welland potentially organize some
stuff for next time.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And there was a couple of guys I was chatting to
and they're a couple and, um, Idefinitely want to meet up with
them next time we go up there,because they were super hot and
just really nice and I thinkthey.
I think we vibed really.
I vibed really well with thembecause I was just chatting with
them basically.
So they were really cool aswell.
So I want to chat with thoseguys a bit more and then,
(25:50):
hopefully, when we get back upto Newcastle which we will be
doing definitely we'll get tohave a bit of fun and play
around with them.
But then we went off toBernie's Bar right in the centre
of town.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
We had a little bit of issues parking because it was
so busy it's busy as hell.
So if you are going to venture,I would say you know, find
there is a, there is a big w andstuff and other car parks close
by, so maybe park there andthen walk down.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's not far, you know but enough about the
parking, let's get to the bar,because we walked in greeted by
fantastic staff checked our idsand all that kind of stuff,
which I felt really grateful for.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
And it was free until 10 o'clock, wasn't it?
It was a free entry, should Isay until 10.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
So I felt grateful for having my ID checked,
because it always makes you feelgood, regardless of how old you
are and regardless of whetheryou know that they're just
checking for trouble and allthat kind of stuff.
But they had the actual systemdown to a pattern they were
there people, but they was likeyou know, just checking
(26:51):
everybody and making sureeverybody's legally allowed in,
and yep, yeah, all that kind ofstuff.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And it wasn't overly busy when we got there, was it
initially?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
oh, it was a nice crowd, it was a good crowd, yeah
, absolutely now, if we candescribe this crowd, diversity
is the main word that comes tomy mind, right, so I had people
from now.
It's not a gay bar, right, it'sa queer.
It's a queer bar, exactly right, and so queer in every sense of
the word.
There was people from everywalk of life, every demographic,
(27:16):
every demographic, and everyonejust got along.
Right, and it sounds reallykumbaya, but but it was.
People just got along.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Look, I've never been to a queer bar before, and for
me I've only gone to gay orstraight bars.
Straight bars?
Obviously yeah, but I just feltreally comfortable in there it
was just such a good vibe.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, Now Dave said to a few people that it's
probably a crowd that henormally wouldn't well, it's not
a wouldn't hang.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, it's people, I'm not I haven't had the
opportunity.
Yeah, well, it's not that, it'sjust my demographics.
Are people that I, I sort oflike, choose, gravitate, yeah,
gravitate to like gay guys andstuff like yeah, I mean.
So I don't venture out furtherthan that because that isn't
sort of my that's all my exactly, but having I mean I've got no.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
No, no, no discrimination I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I accept everybody, but I haven't delved into
meeting up with people becauseit's not really sort of like my
vibe, if that makes sense andDave's self-employed right so
therefore doesn't have theopportunity to meet, I guess, a
lot of different demographicsevery single day but also, like
for me, I like in the past, youknow that I don't watch drag,
drag race and stuff like that,so it's not something that I
(28:31):
necessarily gravitate to.
I respect people for doing itand I like going out and seeing
shows and stuff like that whichdrag performers are doing and I
can't notice.
I 100 respect to them all andhave fun, but it's not someone
that I would naturally gravitateand just sort of like, okay,
I've got to go there and checkthis out and all this blah, blah
, blah.
But because the whole communitywas there and I genuinely do
(28:52):
say the whole community, becauseyou had every single type of
person there, all the leathersof our rainbow, and I was just
really sort of blown away.
I was like this is super cool.
I'm really having a really nicetime here.
Yeah, there was a lot of peopleto look at.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There was a lot of people to, but they were so
friendly yeah, and theconversations did not stop all
night, so we were lucky enoughto find a table, um, and because
we did get there outside, andthat's sort of outside, I guess
is is the smoking area, butthere wasn't tons.
It's also the alleyway that goesbetween alleyway between the
streets and all that kind ofstuff, right and this venue set
(29:28):
up.
It's got like you walk in,you've got a little bar on the
left, you've got like littleareas for dance floor, you've
got a DJ set up at the back,you've got a little stage in the
corner where the drag shows andthat happen, and then you've
got the outside which is all setup with tables and chairs.
So people can sit around andchat, but there's tables also
inside.
I'm not sure they do.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I didn't see anybody eating, so I'm not sure they did
food there, but again, we wereat the wrong time for that.
Anyway, yeah, definitely thewrong time for that.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
But the crowd, like, we sat down and we spoke to this
one lady and she was a fag hag,probably a little bit younger
than us.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Probably our age, maybe Our age.
Yeah, definitely our age, ourage stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
And again, she won't mind us mentioning her name
because she said, feel free likeher name was Anita Yep and she
was sensational and her partnerwas it was Jerry Greg Greg.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Greg, that's right.
It was Greg right.
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Now Greg, I have a feeling that he's quite fluid in
his sexual identity and stufflike that.
But Anita was just awesome.
She described herself as a faghag, right, and she said that
she's been part of the community, the queer community, her whole
entire life.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
She's got grandkids and she's got children and
grandkids.
I think she said Such anawesome person.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We had a chat with her for about two hours probably
.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh, yeah, just non-stop talking the whole time.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Awesome person we had , so we had a chat with her for
about two hours probably.
Oh yeah, we're just non-stoptalking the whole time but she
knew everybody there, didn't she?
Everyone.
She was definitely part of thecommunity, very popular, wasn't
she?
Yeah?
We mentioned that sort of that.
Matt and jeff had actually toldus about this bar and she went
oh yeah, I love those boys yeah,we miss them when they're not
here and all this kind of stuff.
She said like they've been hereas long as I've been here as
(31:10):
part of this bar and DJ DaddyBear does the best DJ sets and
blah blah blah.
So she knew her stuff.
She wasn't a fake and a phony.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
She was part of the community and a really big, but
she had lots of questions for usand things like that as well,
because we explained to her wewere doing a podcast during the
conversations and stuff likethat, explaining to her we were
doing a podcast, you know,during the conversations and
stuff like that, and they werereally engaging with that and
you know, we had a few of ourcards and stuff like that, but
yep, it was just theconversations we were having.
Well, I said to matt, I wishwe'd actually had our podcast
stuff with us, yeah, which weturned out it was in the car,
(31:42):
yeah we didn't realize that wasmy bad.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I thought I'd left it because it would have been the
perfect opportunity to you know,and they were willing to sort
of like talk freely abouteverything.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
But the conversations we had were just so sporadic,
they were just so diverse, theywere just so engaged and they
were just so much more I don'tknow more than I could ever
imagine going to a bar to talkabout, you know.
I mean, yeah, there were lifeexperiences, there were events
that happened and it was so goodwe had lots of little chats
little like a minute here andthere.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Chats with everyone but everybody walked past and
they say hi, and it was justlike hello but the two main
people I guess that we chattedwith was her yep um anita, and
then another young girl umcalled brett, brett right
b-r-a-t.
Right um, which we I thoughtthat's a really cool name, but
it suited her and she was sortof to describe her physically.
(32:31):
She sort of looked like a bitof an Anna Kendrick kind of vibe
.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, anna Kendrick.
Yeah, exactly, she had the longdark hair, long dark hair, and
she was very cool and stuff likethat.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Had that Anna Kendrick vibe, which was really,
really cool, and so we had achat with her.
She was 26 or 27, somethinglike that, and just an absolute
delight.
As well, she's studyingpsychology.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
She's already studied psychology, studied psychology.
So she's studied psychology andeducation.
Yeah, but she doesn't know whatpath she's.
So she's doing research at themoment.
Yeah, because she doesn't knowwhich path she wants to go, but
she's.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Just awesome chats.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
And we're not going to get into the detail of that
chat, no, because that's aprivate.
That's her private.
Yeah, but I was blown away withher level of maturity.
I was blown away by the levelof her conversations, yeah, but
also the fact that, you know,she was so comfortable in her
own skin, yep, and she wasnon-judgmental and she actually
had a few um challenges goingthrough that process with her
friends, with friends, andfamily.
Yeah, but she stuck to herground and she pushed through
and she came out the other sidewith like glowing sort of like
(33:36):
energy.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, and just a beautiful aura that I looked at
her and I thought, whatever thehell you're going to actually do
in life, you're going tosucceed.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I think she's definitely got a purpose in life
.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I think psychology is her field.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
That she needs to pursue.
Working with people isdefinitely her field, so if you
listen, that's where you need togo.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
But yeah, so they had a little market stall at this
little at the bar as well, Didthey?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, where I bought the turtle tape.
Oh, I didn't know, it was amarket stall.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Yeah, it was like a little, it was like a table, a
little table, oh I thought itwas just someone that you had
actually gone and spoken to.
No, no, it was a little tableand they had a whole little
setup of these things.
Now, if you've got access toInstagram which it's 2024, 2025,

Apparently, anita was saying that she just sits there

She can do it in record time,can't she?
Yeah, she's going gonna listento our podcast, while while,
while they, while they knit away.
But yeah, so um great people,yep, we'll definitely go back

The drag queen oh, oh , yeah the main performer on the
night right um, and Sheenita iswhat her name was, right Check
it out mate, holy Christ.
Now for those that play alongat home and watch Drag Race.
If you think Priyanka andShangela right, this girl's
(36:21):
makeup was fucking flawless.
When I looked at her I went youare, your mug is now for Dave.
Your mug is your face.
Yeah, I get that Right.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
I know, what that means?
Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
It was like absolutely on point.
There was just just perfection,all right.
Now to say she looked amazingis one thing, because she did
right.
Just a snatched fucking padded.
Everything was where it shouldbe spectacular, and we're a
little bar in newcastle, allright.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
if she was a sydney queen she'd be getting top
billing and things like that Iwas like really blown away as
well because I mean I I don'tnormally sort of like gravitate
towards that side of the actualcommunity because obviously I
don't follow it, but I stillappreciate and admire them.
Yeah, like I said, I go go tovenues and I have a good time
and they're great performers.
I really do admire what they do, yeah, but I was like really
(37:15):
blown away as well because Imean I would say that she was
probably the most glamorous oneI've ever seen of clothes and
you know, in things there'susually a bit of rough like drag
queens, and apologies to thequeer community and the drag
community.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Oh, this is great, but you usually look a little
rough at some times, right, shedid a number Come back.
There wasn't a fucking drop ofsweat on her brow, right?
Well, she was hot after sheshould find herself hot she was
definitely hot, but I tell youwhat her bloody makeup was
hiding.
It all I tell you.
And the setting spray wasworking its ass off.
(37:54):
And I tell you just the thenumber the dance ability.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
There was a couple of um drug artists I saw that they
were also very, very great acouple of queens wondering they
were good she definitely took,but she took the cake and and
her instagram, while I'm givingout is she need a.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
She underscore, need a.
So S-H-E, underscore, n-e-e-d-a, like she need a dick, she need
a whatever, she need a cash tip, she needs followers, but she
need a follower.
But yeah, she was flawless.
I did ask her whether she'dauditioned for Red Bull Strikers
Down Under and she said she hadsent in an audition tape for
(38:29):
season four but hadn't gotten on, obviously, so she needs to be
on there.
I said keep plugging, you needto be on.
I'm going to be taggingRuPaul's Drag Race Down.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Under You're actually going to contact.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
RuPaul and tell her directly Well, okay, RuPaul
doesn't do the.
Down Under show now MichelleVersace does.
But I'll be letting michelleknow that she needs this queen.
This is matt and I'm tellingyou, yeah, I'm a fan and she
needs this queen on.
So mary poppins, which was aqueen from season two, was there
as well, um, not in drag, uh,but as as her male, and I can't
(39:03):
remember I need to point her out, but yeah, yep, um, but again,
queen was busy in conversationand stuff like that as well,
with a lot of people.
But she was there as well aspart of the Newcastle scene as
well for those that do followDrag Race and it was awesome.
Now, the vibe, sensational, thecommunity, all parts of her
(39:24):
life, the trans community, wouldhighly represent her there from
all levels Baby queens outthere, young boys that are just
coming.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
I genuinely feel that .
You know, it doesn't matterwhether you're straight queer
gay or whatever.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
That was my next point.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
There is a niche in that group for everybody and
nobody would, in my opinion, beuncomfortable going there.
No, correct?
I think you know.
Seeing the vibe, seeing the um,the atmosphere, it was one of
the best pubs I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
in that regards dick and fanny when we picked up um
dick and fanny when we picked upon blondie today that they
would love it because and theywould because dick loves a chat
as well with he loves diversityhe loves diversity and he loves
to actually get to know peopleand I mean, and I mean really,
and I've seen it with people onthe street, like with homeless
(40:15):
people on the street, and hestopped and he's had a chat and
he's gotten their life storywithin three minutes, right, um,
because I can chat, but he canchat he's really engaging.
Yeah, absolutely so the thing isthat he, he would have been, we
would never have gotten out ofthere.
We'd still be there now, butyeah, it was frigging awesome.
Bernie's Bar highlight of thatpart up until that point in time

Dick had thought he was goingto stand in a parking spot.
I ended up giving up because hewasn't moving and I didn't want
(41:52):

time at all.
So we just drove off, found aparking spot, wandered down to

Yeah, Art Deco yeah, definitely um new newcastle
ocean baths.
Yep, just old art deco, yeah,art deco, yeah, definitely 100%
it's like the facade originalbecause obviously, um, the back
end of it would have beendeteriorated, but they've
managed to keep the appeal.
But I didn't realize until youwent behind that, um, it was
just like an open pool that theycreated.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
So, yeah, it's just amazing.
It's so cool, awesome and I'vebeen there before and seen it

It was a really fun part, agood community and the beach bit

So we had a rock pool as well,there as well.
So it was like so busy.

Um, we said we had breakfast there, didn't we?
We had, I had an amazingsandwich, oh my god so up around
a bit further.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
There was the newcastle surf life-saving club.

surf lifesaving club there.
It was just.
They've got this mushroomtoasty, basically.
Yeah, if you can hear the noise.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah, you can hear some background noise.
We've got a storm coming overat the moment and it's crazy out
there.
I was wondering what Matt waslooking like.
I can see that the storm isdefinitely coming over T.
I was wondering what Matt waslooking like.

The guy that was running was pretty hot as well,
wasn't he?
Speaker 1 (43:56):
He was really hot, actually, he was very hot there
was a lot of hot guys, so itwasn't hot, but yeah, there was.
So when we went.
Oh, let me go back to theNewcastle bath for a second.
Matt likes going to the toiletsbecause he's always like I'm
going to have a look, you've gotto check out stuff, but he's
always needed to go for a wee Ialways need to wee anyway
because of my baby bladder butwalked in and they have the kind
(44:18):
of showers I like.
So the open showers, there'sjust like a little wooden frame
open changing room so you cansee anyone that's changing in
there.
Now, I would never invadesomebody's privacy and take
photos or video in those areas,because that is highly illegal
and we don't do that right, wedon't do it we visualize.
But I swear to god, I waswishing I had a camera in my
(44:38):
head because I just was likeholy shit, there was a guy in
there with a freaking giant dick.
Um, right, and I, I again.
Size is not important, but agood big dick looks really
pretty.
So, um, yeah so, um, and he hada really nice big dick.
There's a younger guy that hada really nice, just your right
size, that, um, nice uncut cock.
(45:01):
He was hairy all over as well.
I'm sat there and I walked backout and I went I'm looking for
dave, trying to get him to go inthere, and they couldn't find
him.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
I'll sit there watching matt as he was coming
out and I was trying to get himto go in there and I couldn't
find him because he wandered offsomewhere else.
I was sitting there watchingMatt as he was coming out and I
was trying to phone him sayingI'm over here, matt, and he was
just oblivious to everything.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
I was looking for him and wandering somewhere else.
So yeah, check the change roomsout, people, you'll love it.
I've entered in later on.
He went in after and there wasnobody in there, but I get the
set up.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
It was great.
It was very traditional 1930sstyle.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
So we wandered along the beat, took some photos,
checked out some people it wasjust good walking around.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
It was beautiful.
It was just beautiful and thenwe got in the car and then
headed to the Westfields.
Well, we thought, no, it wasn'tWestfields, it was Big W.
Yeah, we headed to wherever itwas Because we were trying to
find a birthday present for ourfriend and we can't remember

Speaker 1 (46:00):
His partner is Bruce yeah, diehard is his name and
his partner's name is Bruce, sowe went to diehard's birthday

their place because we werestaying at their house that
night, yep, and met up with somewonderful and met up with some
wonderful, wonderful friendsthat they had Now.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
I've met these people many times because I've been
over to their place a few timessince they've moved in and what
I can explain to you is they'rein a gated community but the
people, the neighbors and thecommunity that they have living
in them are just amazing.
They're all amazing peoplethey're.
So you know it's got.
It's got that nice vibe abouteach other.
(46:51):
They all look out for eachother, they all socialize
together.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
They have the amenities but obviously Will and
Dan have got other friends andstuff like that, but yeah, so it
was.
Their friends were really good.
The party was awesome, right,really well catered for.
Bruce made pizzas homemadepizzas and stuff like that.
They were bloody delicious andwent down to the pool, had some
(47:19):
drinks, had some chats, had somemore chats, had some more chats
.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
But you actually got to meet these people and I'd
explain to you who these peoplewere.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
In the past, dave was a bit enamoured by one slash,
two slash, three slash, four ofthese guys.
No, were in the past.
Dave was a bit enamoured by 1,2, 3, 4 of these guys.
Dave loves a chat and Dave wasreally excited for me to meet
these people because they'rereally genuinely nice people.
They're all nice people,genuinely really nice people,
and they're wise and everythingelse as well, like yeah.
So we went there and got to meetdifferent ones over the whole
(47:47):
period, over the night and stufflike that, had some fantastic
chats, conversations, and I canwholeheartedly understand why
Dave absolutely adores them,because they were all just
absolutely amazing.
People had, like I said,different chats with different
ones as well.
Look, the ladies were beautiful, beautiful One in particular
(48:10):
the German guy, his wife she'sstunning, all right she is
absolutely gorgeous.
I was sitting there and goingoh my god, you are so beautiful,
right?
But her husband, again, is astunner.
He's just such a handsome man,but he's just so he's sense of
(48:30):
humor, yeah, he's twisted likeme, right?
Yeah, and he's naughty and he'scheeky, so it makes him so much
more likable as well.
Um, so I can see like, andtheir banter was just so good,
I'm sitting there and I'm goingoh my god, you guys are the
perfect couple, and I understandthat no such thing happens.
There's no such thing as aperfect couple, but they were
(48:53):
just absolutely awesome together.
Um, because she was in on everyjoke, he was in on every joke.
They've known each other for Idon't know how long, but I'm
guessing a lifetime.
Well, they got.
They got two kids together.
Yeah, you're guessing a lifetimeyeah, because they've just
really their banter was on point.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Well, we'll get them to give us a name that we can
call them, because we're notgoing to mention their real name
no, no, no it's not what we dobut but again, fantastic people.

can let the kids run freely,because it's a gated community,
