Another week rolls by .
We're over halfway into theyear.
Gee, where has the year gone?
Huh, ah, yeah, sorry, this isthe Mess Around Podcast, welcome
.
If it's you for the first time,if you've listened more than
once, you know what you're infor.
Yeah, you're in forhard-hitting, hard-hitting,
cutting to the bone type ofconversations that just drill
(00:29):
down into what the zeitgeist ofthe street is.
That's yeah.
I can't keep that going.
No, it's just me, richardStubbs, and on the Gold Coast
lounging around in his palatialapartment.
The other half of the MessAround podcast, mr Andrew Hooper
(00:50):
.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hello, hello all.
I love that you can ask thequestion if you've listened more
than once and it's a genuinequestion to our listeners.
It's a genuine.
Have you listened more thanonce?
Yeah, well, there are peopleout there.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Don't worry, there are people who and I know there
are because if any time one ofus you stuffs up and doesn't
load the podcast on at somepoint a day, well you're not the
one who gets the flack.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, that is true.
I, that is true.
I do sometimes, or I sometimesset it to do it and it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I go about my day and I get these angry messages and
I'm like, oh well, can't doanything about it now I'll get
home and do it.
Do you know something?
Speaking about the year beinghalf over, yes, the other day
someone informed me that I thinkit was July 2nd or something,
or something the second month ofthe 2025.
(01:46):
Anyway, the point is we're nowcloser to 2050 than we are to
2000.
Officially.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well gosh, all right.
Just while we're on that theme,I saw one of those memes.
You know, if you could go backin time to when there was no
phone and no internet, becauseyou woke up in a simpler time of
1995?
What's the first thing you do?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And I go wait a minute, that's not.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And then I went oh, it's 30 years, but still it
doesn't oh.
God, I mean you go through thisdaily.
You go to university and talkto young people.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, I'm actually.
I think it's August 28th I'mjust off the top of my head but
somewhere around that in Augustthere's a re-release of Jaws the
movie at the cinema?
Yes, I'm like I'm going to that.
Oh, 50 years isn't it 50 years?
And I went wait, yeah, no it's50 years, 50 years.
(02:42):
Yeah, Jaws is 50 years old.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's right.
I know.
Well, just on this, it'sprobably I was wondering when
I'd mention this, but I feellike this is appropriate now
because we've just talked aboutthis and looked at each other
and shuddered.
I managed to pop my knee outthe other day, did you yep, yep,
yep, and I I wasn't doing asusual, did nothing.
(03:07):
Really, I was dangling my legon a stool and then I sort of
got off the stool and movedslightly laterally and clunk, my
knee locked in the flexedposition, in the bent position,
but wasn't happy being thereLike it was like oh, that's bad,
(03:29):
and you've frozen in place.
So I had to gently if anyone'sever done this before I had to
gently straighten that keep.
Oh, geez, that hurts.
I've got to because I can't letit sit there.
It's going to swell and clunk.
And the whole upper part of mylegs moved sideways as it
clunked back in and I said somethings.
(03:52):
You know, flocks of birds tookoff out of the trees in the
neighbourhood and you know,children flinched and horses
yeah that started.
It echoed around theneighbourhood and it's been sore
ever since, getting better,though I don't know exactly what
happened.
I think I have to go and seesomeone about that, because it
(04:13):
does it from time to time, juston.
You know, when I'm having agood time it just decides I
don't.
It feels like your knee'sdislocated.
For those of you who wonderwhat it feels like, but I'm not
sure it actually has it, itcould be a ligament twisted
around a tendon that's connectedto some meniscus.
I mean, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Because I've seen footballers do this and then
violently bash their leg to putit back in so they can keep
playing.
Yeah, did you do that?
Did you angrily?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
go after it.
I didn't violently bash it,because at the time I was eee in
terms of white noise going on,oh, and so I just I knew it
couldn't stay where it was andthat we had to do something
swiftly and by we I meant me andso I gradually kind of tried to
straighten the leg and guide it.
(05:05):
So it clunked back intoposition and then felt a bit
faint and called for water and atowel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
This is following up on the 2025 back incident.
I understand, completelyimmobilised it went through my
mind as well.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yep yep, and my beloved's now gone to 11.
Well, you have to see a doctorand you'll need an MRI.
And I go, it's and my beloved'snow gone to 11.
Well, you have to see a doctorand you'll need an MRI, and I go
it's fine, it's fine.
Having said that, the next day Igot up early to go boxing and
I'd had a shocking night's sleepbecause it locked out a couple
more times overnight and thenbecause I stupidly didn't use a
(05:43):
pillow to support my leg.
Anyway, stupidly, anyway.
So I've got up and I'm oh jeez,I'm limping.
I'm limping, it's quite soreand I've got.
I don't want to get too graphic, but it's integral in the story
.
I had to go to the toilet, ofcourse you did, and I realised
okay, that's good, that'shappened.
And then, I'm like well, no, I'mfine, I sit down, I'm sitting
(06:04):
down.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh, okay, that's even worse.
I've got to get up from that,okay.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah.
So I'm sitting down on thetoilet and I go well, better get
to boxing.
And I go oh, I can't actually.
No, I can't push through thebent leg there.
I'm in a fair bit the good legto get up.
And at that point I thoughtshould I even be going to boxing
(06:29):
?
Yeah, and it took.
My point is it took that bitbefore I questioned it.
And when I questioned it, I sawmy son, who's just a personal
trainer, my personal trainer tomy personal trainer.
To make things worse, his imageappeared, like on TV, when you
know, the ghost appears pointingat me, going what the hell are
(06:53):
you doing?
And I went.
I don't know, I was just goingto do what I always do, and I
guess what I'm saying is Ireflected as I contacted my
boxing mate and said no, mate,not today, knees locked up, and
he gave a thumbs up.
Yeah, I reflected.
Geez, I really didn't thinkthat through.
(07:14):
I feel like a smart personwould have done something better
earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's what I feel, I wish I knew what that was.
Okay.
There's a lot of things I wantto unpack.
Yeah, first of all, yes, you do.
You do a lot of bike riding, alot of boxing, a lot of physio,
a lot of gym.
It doesn't appear to be havinga positive effect All right.
Just as a general rule.
Whatever it is you're doing,I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I tell you what thank goodness for the back injury,
because I taught myself a newway of using the toilet paper
and I was able to employ thatway, because I know what you
were thinking.
Jeez, how did you manage?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I've got a new system .
Speaker 2 (07:56):
None of us were First time.
None of us were First time I'vegot a new system in years.
I want the listeners to be gladthat I'm not going to pursue
this, because right now you'redesperate to explain your system
.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, no, no, in fact , I'm storing it up because if
we ever go to video or we caninsert video of other sorts and
I could maybe do a help video onhow to how to.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know what you need.
I don't.
I'm going to contact yourbeloved and your boy.
I'm going to say well, clearly,if he's going to do that and
his knee's going to go out, heneeds, like a rail, a handrail
next to the toilet.
That's what he needs.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
A grip bar.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, like a big stainless steel bar.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I needs A grip bar, yeah, like a big stainless steel
bar.
I've been talking to thebeloved about getting one of
those chairs that go up thestairs, yes, and what I like
about them is the speed at whichthey go.
So you've got time and she goes, what would you do?
It's going to take hours to goup the stairs and around the
corner I said nothing, I justraw dog it, raw dog it.
Just sit there staring at you.
(08:57):
It was like no facial expressionand then whip around the corner
like the scenic railway orsomething whoosh around the
corner and then Just making eyecontact the whole way up.
Yeah, I kind of look forward tothat.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Can I just, while we're here, you know the physio
that you're still going to?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You do the Pilates.
Yeah, when you do the Pilates.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, what's that for ?
Still Is this the?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
back still no, and knee and knee.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah Well, they're going to love this.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, I went today and they were like oh gee, that's
not ideal.
We might get you doing someother stuff today, yeah, Okay,
is it the left or the right knee?
It's the left.
You know what?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
What we should do.
It's like football clubs weshould have an injury report
every week.
Okay.
We've got to mesh around.
Okay, what have we got?
Well, we've got ligamentsthroughout this week.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I mean, I just feel that the show can't continue
forever.
My body's, the spirit's willing, but the body's just falling
apart.
Yeah well, you know what getsme about it.
It's falling apart and yet it'sdone.
No hard labour ever.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Maybe that's something in that.
But yes, I know what you mean.
You've never picked up a heavything.
I mean I have.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I've given it a bit of a swing, the mattock
obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
If.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I can find that.
I'll use it again, but somehowit's been put away and I can't
find it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, there's an upside your beloved will have an
upside to your constantinjuries.
You can only do so much damagenow because you're completely
incapacitated.
So swings and roundabouts,that's all I'm saying there.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Tell you what speaker swings and roundabouts.
Her niece contacted us and saidoh, I'm moving house, can
everyone come around and help?
And I said, geez, I'd love to,babe, but I think my neck and my
back and my knee would all goout in unison.
So I'm afraid I'm going to haveto say no to that one and I
can't just go along, because youknow me, once I'm there I'd
(10:43):
want to help and I'll injuremyself.
I don't trust me to allow me togo along, babe.
I ran that argument and, Ithink, pretty convincingly.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
George Carlin used to say that once you get to a
certain age, you don't need anexcuse not to do anything.
It's great, it's just no, don'twant to.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No, don't want to.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, I will.
I will.
I'll draw the attention awayfrom your injuries because, it's
getting sad.
Now Just for a second.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I'm getting better, it's better?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, you are, but we've now got you reduced to
like a thing, lifting you up thestairs, a seat and a railing.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I do like that idea, and then later you could gas it
up.
Oh jeez, so it flings you outat the end.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Maybe just one of those handles to get you off the
toilet, like a chain hangingfrom the roof and you're just
hoist.
Anyway, I visualise youconstantly like you're in rehab,
because you're back from NAMMor something.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I would come off the toilet as in the reverse
position of Bruce Lee going downthe rope in Enter the Dragon.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So for those of you playing along at home, bruce,
Lee is shirtless.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
He chooses to slide down the rope into the
underground tunnels, but hechooses to go down hand over
hand.
Yes, that's fine, but for somereason he's sitting out with his
legs straight, so he's in astraight out, so it's at a right
angle, like why the abs workout, mate.
Oh, I don't know, I justthought I could, so I'd have a
chain from the roof and I couldhaul myself up, but I'd be in
(12:12):
that position, locked out, withthe legs out in front of me.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's okay?
Probably not, that's unlikely.
That's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
If anything, I wouldn't screw it into the roof
properly.
It'd come away and it'd fallheavily on me and I'd crash to
the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, or I'd imagine you'd have the leg the knee that
can't bend or won't bend, juststicking out straight, and
you'll be standing on the otherone, using that to push yourself
up while using your arms.
So it appears as though you'redoing the Bruce Lee and go ha,
look at this love.
But in fact you've only got oneleg out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Too much thought.
I am happy eating whatever mybeloved cooks for me, because
there's no chance she's going tobother with a Beef Wellington
special, because she just has towait and she knows that oh no,
you'll break.
So no need for me to give thisa push, I'll just let him try to
.
You know, walk and breathe, Iknow.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You have this procession of injuries and it's
never fell off the bike.
No, god, no, I had to hand tohand For the bear no, no.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's just.
I stood up, yeah, I turnedaround.
I was sitting on a chair andthen went to move and my body
went.
How?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
dare you.
If it was me, I'd be like whereare all these injuries coming
from?
Well, I'm secretly Batman atnight.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's right, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Getting smacked up.
Yeah, all right.
Well, I have had my Sad.
My gym people haven't askedabout the Jackman for a while.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
People are a bit sad.
I've been reached out to.
People have slid into my DMsjust going oh, mate Roper and
the Jackman.
It's the saddest thing in theworld.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And I go.
It is, and we've had to stoptalking about it because he's
getting nowhere and it's just.
It's like watching a kid justpushing against the door marked
pull.
It's like watching a kid justpushing against the door marked
pull, we can't stand it anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
All right, okay, yes, all right.
Yes, we'll swing back.
Yes, I have had inquiries aboutthe Jackman.
I've had people say is thatstill going?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, all right?
No, it's really not.
We put it on the back burner,we didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
We just moved it aside.
There's actually.
He doesn't listen, so who cares?
Actually, a big hello to a kidcalled Ryan at uni.
He said I'll come to the gymwith you.
I said sure.
So I said, and I'm showing himsome stuff, all right.
And he's been doing it for anumber of weeks.
He's getting good.
Now I'm like, oh, you've got tostop now, because you're that
far from being stronger than meafter six weeks.
(14:32):
Yeah, I said all right, this issad.
I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Did he explain to you about the power of testosterone
and how when you're low T, youdon't get to achieve anything.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I know I can't teach him anything.
Once he can outlift me, it'slike no, I'd get out of my way,
old man.
But I've discovered my jointsare all getting better because
I'm not lifting heavy things.
I'm not lifting heavy things,I'm not really heavy things.
I've discovered my newfavourite piece of gym equipment
.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's nice.
Everyone's got a favourite.
Yeah, sure Some people.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It's the leg abductor one where you push your knees
out wide and do that.
That's stupid.
A lot of people like that one.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
A bit like the rowy one.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I reckon there's no one who likes the Stairmaster.
I see people on those thingsand I just think no, this is my.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'm the man.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
What I am the one.
Is that your piece of equipment?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I am the lord of the Stairmaster.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I am the one.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So wait a minute.
Why are you on the Stairmaster?
You're nine foot tall and rakethin, and now you're going to
get a bubble butt.
That's the strangest lookingthing.
Why would?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
you want that developed.
I can't.
My feet don't quite fit on thesteps either.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
No, of course not.
It's like Sideshow Bob tryingto go on the Stairmaster.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Why would you want?
You don't want Two things, ohGod, no two things.
One because you can just put iton like one or two.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, still, though, and you're still doing something
.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
right, you're just looking around.
But two, because I starteddoing it and I realized I went
oh wait, this is elevatortraining is what this is.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
This is me getting ready for when the elevator goes
out in my building, okay, andsuddenly I have to shoot up,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I figured out how much my dog weighs and I've gone
and found a dumbbell thatweighs about the same as my dog.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, weighs the same .
Yeah, I'm hanging it.
Just hold it, cradling it inone arm.
And every now and then itwriggles.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right, and then I get the phone and I ring Peter and
to panic and yell abuse at me.
While I'm doing it, he goes ohmy God, everything, oh my God.
And I just walk up like I'mwalking up steps.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Two things.
First of all, incredibly, thatmakes sense.
I think physios talk aboutexercise.
That is the same exercise asthe action that you're trying to
do.
Like you know, you learn tostand up and sit down, and it's
purpose I don't know.
I forget what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Anyway you're doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And the other thing is, I can't believe a part of me
mentioned the Stairmaster asopposed to the Easy Bar or
something, and it was the pieceof equipment that you're about.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's weird, that's strange.
Spot on, I did 50 floors theother day.
Why?
Because now I know Were youjust soaked in sweat.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh yeah, just pouring off.
Were people flinching aroundyou?
Was it relentlessly on the?
Did you have your rubber bandof dorkiness to hold your
steamed up blasters on your head, is it?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I love it.
I mean to be fair.
Next to me there's all nubilefit people with it on 11.
Hey hey, hey, hey.
She's running up it like thiswith her headphones on, and I'm
just Got the Kate Bush on Plank,plank, plank, you're running up
that hill I go very slow.
This might be your thing.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You know your brother beats you on almost every level
and I know that that's a realcross you have to bear because
he's like, it's like a livingbooper ad, you know, Look at
that one.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That one's just a bit better than that one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
He does, anyway, but this could be your thing.
You could practice this andthen you could go on those races
where you see dudes who areinterviewed afterwards.
Yeah, he ran all the way up thetop of the Gold Coast Towers.
He just, oh, he never stopped.
Yeah, it was a race.
I took it two at a time and Ijust ran the stairs.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
They said do you want ?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
to take the lift down .
I went.
No, I'm walking down.
You know those guys, no, no.
Next time people come to myhouse, next time my brother
comes to my house and thenquietly get in the lift.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You'll get in the lift, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Because I get in the lift A I don't want 38 floors of
stairs and B.
I want to emerge open doors andI'm in your living room.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, all I'm saying is you want a piece of equipment
at the gym that doesfunctionally something that you
need, right?
So, I'm on the stair, master.
What you need is the toiletmaster.
You need a piece of equipment.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I think that's just a chair, really.
Isn't it A chair, right?
I don't think it has to be atoilet.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Get your boy to attach a cable right to a weight
machine above you and thenheave to get yourself up.
That's all I'm saying.
Functional training, it's theway to go One-legged.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Can you do a one-legged stand from a sitting
position?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well, I can.
Yes, can you Invalid?
Yes, can you?
Yes, I can.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Really Easy, I feel like I want you to go to the
toilet now, sit on it and justtry to get off only using one
leg.
I don't think that's easy,because you're at right angles
for a start.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
A lot of people feel like they want to go to the
toilet.
Listening to this podcast, ithappens a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't reckon that's as easy as you just said.
I'm certain it isn't.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
No, it is.
Look, if we want to, it is, butyou have to lean forward.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
No, you just start and then you've got to push,
obviously even leaning forward,because you lean forward, but
that's just.
Your impossibly narrowshoulders have come forward.
Your ass is still out at rightangles and that's out the back.
And the muscle to ass ratiojust isn't there.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I know I'm a big triangle.
I know this.
When I have to lean, I can't dothings.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I'm just a big yes.
Well, look, not now, not now.
Well, actually it could be now,but later.
After you've listened to thispodcast, go sit on the toilet
and just even get off in onemotion one motion with one foot
off the ground.
All right, I see what I didthere yes, okay, we'll leave
that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That wasn't my, that was not.
No, it wasn't okay.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But still, anyway, it's good that you've got a
favourite bit of gym equipment.
I mean it's nothing that'sgoing to help with the Jackson,
but it is.
Jackman but it is somethingthat could potentially see you
right the next time there's acrisis, it'll be an emergency,
I'll be ready.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Now this is tangentially associated with the
gym.
It's not really, but it's sortof a little bit.
So when I go to the gym and Ihave my gym attire, and you know
it's sort of winter gym attire.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
God, so I occasionally wear the
trackie-dacks.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, all right, I never lower myself to
trackie-dack.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
At the gym.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, you're always shorted up.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Shorted up.
Do you ever go the tight, thelong?
Oh, I've done that occasionally.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Anyway this is a whole different issue, but
anyway so I said to the belovedthe other day Are you in your
tights on the Stairmaster?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I wasn't the other day.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Are you singing out with your headphones on going,
lance, get Fans out.
Yeah, a bit of that, fans out.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Okay, it's the terry-toweling headband.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So I said to the beloved the other day I said you
know the tracky-dacks, I'veworn them on the stairmaster.
I get a bit sweaty and I saidand I do tend to wear them
around a lot, you know, becauseit's winter I do tend to wear
them.
She said, yes, and they arelying on the floor next to the
bed in case as soon as I.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah the burglar pant .
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, the burglar pant.
She said yeah.
I said I just I wear themconstantly.
And she said yeah.
I said do you think I shouldget another pair Right?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
And she said she reacted so violently, she's so
just yes, oh, jeez, yes, wow,you should Look out, you should
yes, yes, you should, yes, yesyes, so okay, this is
interesting.
No, no, because how long haveyou been?
So you've just got the one pair, not an inside.
You don't have an inside oneand then one you wear to gym, no
(22:24):
, oh, okay, well, that's bad.
And how long has Old Faithfulbeen around?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh, these have been at least pre-plague at least.
Oh, probably five, six, seven,they've got to be seven or eight
years, I reckon, easy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Well, it's 50 years since Jaws.
Were you wearing them when Jawscame out?
I?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
wasn't wearing them when Jaws came out.
They have been replaced.
I did, you can tell you belovedthis.
I did have a Collingwood pairwhen I was in London.
I had the Rock and theCollingwood trackie-dacks.
Gee, that got me some looks,but they went eventually.
But these ones have gone theinner lining is gone Like the
outside looks okay, but theinside no.
No one would want to lookinside them.
(23:02):
There's no mesh holdinganything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
No, Nothing's being held in place.
I think I'm going to go out ona limb and say you need two
pairs, you need comfy no one cansee me I'm lounging around the
house pair and then you needyour quite sleek.
Look at this.
Is that a brand?
No, it's misspelled, but itlooks like it's copied a brand.
Go to gym trackie.
(23:26):
They're not the same, becauseone is boggy bum and the other
one ain't.
So I think you need two twopairs and the ones that you're
wearing now.
You need to set them on fireand throw them off the balcony.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, it's most likely yes, the Neville does not
ever want to see them again.
No with her.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I never want to hear about them again because I don't
think they're washed all thatoften either.
Oh no, they need to beavailable at all times, that's
my point they're always on call,so there's no time they can be
wet.
No, no, I understand straightaway.
No, not true, and no, that'sbad, no.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And sometimes you can sleep in them if you really
want to, if you're really cold.
They're just multi-purpose.
But I never go.
What you're referring to as theboggy bum, fleecy ones I always
go.
Oh, he's probably an athlete,he hasn't given up.
No, he's probably an athlete,that's why he's wearing them.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
There's a lot there that I need to deal with and I
just don't feel the podcast'sgoing to give us enough time.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
No, I'm equipped, I can tell you.
Well, I'm just saying I haveone at the moment.
I think one is the appropriateamount.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No Old Faithful needs to be taken out like old Yella.
You know, two go into theforest, one comes back.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And you need to buy two.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They don't have to be fleecy because you can't stand
the heat.
They don't have to be fleecy,but they have to be a looser,
more comfortable trouser pant,and then they've got to be a
slick.
I mean, the ones around thehome could be velour, they could
be essential velour, if youwanted and you could prowl
around, which it would amuse theshit out of me, but the ones at
(25:08):
the gym have to be.
You know they're a nice brand.
Yeah, I think they are, orcertainly are very close to a
brand.
Just while we're talkingclothing, it brings up something
I wanted to bring up how oftendo you dressing gown?
How often?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh, okay.
Okay, yes, you've raised apoint there.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
This is an issue at my place.
Okay, there was a time when Iwas especially in London where I
would dressing gown.
Oh, a lot, a lot, okay, a lotLike I remember my….
Speaker 1 (25:44):
We're seeing a real image of you just unemployed in
London in your Collingwoodtracksuit Dax and just wearing
your dressing gown?
Yes, and your beloved cominghome from a hard day at work and
you're still in the Collingwoodtracksuit and the dressing gown
and just making another cup oftea talking about something
someone said online.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Well, I clearly remember her sister.
Her sister-in-law came aroundonce and the dressing gown was
hanging up somewhere and shewalked past and went hey, andrew
, she didn't.
She just saw the dressing gownand she just assumed it was me.
She went oh no, it's not you,it's just the dressing gown.
What about?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
now, though, what about?
Now?
You're in God's own country.
The sun shines, you're up thetop.
When you get up in the morning,do you slip the dressing gown
on?
No, over an evening watching TV, does the dressing gown go on.
When would you dressing gown?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
now.
Now I've cut back, I've had to.
There's been an intervention.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There was an intervention.
All right, yeah, you can't wearthat all day.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
All right, but now I only wear it like when I'm
finished I had a shower and thenI'll dressing gown and put on
all this sort of and I walkaround like that and that's fine
.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But then I've been told I have to put clothes on.
Well, are there tracksuit pantsunder the dressing gown?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
or do you just?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
stroll around in a bit of a shorty dressing gown
and an attitude, and that'sabout it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, well, it's the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I know that.
That's why I'm asking thequestion.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
All right, okay, If you must know okay.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Well, we need to know .
It's science.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
All right, okay.
So if you come to my place,there's only over the course of
24 hours there's only threepossible outfits.
There will be the dressing gown, probably with a towel around
my waist right, and then thedressing gown on top of that.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Okay, Then you go.
Well, that's it.
That's weird.
Why have you got the wet towel?
Why aren't you tracky-dacking?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Because I put the towel on and then I go well, I
can't walk around just a towel.
No, you can't.
What if someone comes to theelevator?
What if you?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
dried yourself off and just put the dressing gown
on.
I can't be bothered.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
So then I Either that , or the tracky decks right
which are there in case of, andthen the only other third option
is actual clothes.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
See, I've been in my tracky deck and comfy top,
long-sleeve top, but I've been abit chilled and I didn't know
what to do.
And then I put my dressing gownon and went wow, now I'm warm,
this is lovely.
But I caught sight of myself inthe mirror and I felt less
about myself.
Yeah, okay, I thought that's alow bar.
Your beloved can't look on thatwith fondness.
(28:13):
And then I went round to myboy's place and he's always
loved a dressing gown, since Igot him a Boba Fett one.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh, okay, that's a whole different thing.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
He wore the Boba Fett .
He wore the Fett man dressinggown just nonstop and then
eventually, I think it all fellapart or rotted or crawled away
somewhere or fell in a sarlaccpit or something.
But now he's got another one.
He's got a velvety soft kind ofI don't know what it is.
I didn't get that close.
Here's the point, though.
I went around during the day,kind of I don't know what it is,
I didn't get that close.
Here's the point, though.
(28:45):
I went around during the day.
He's in his dressing gown, yeah, but he's in between.
He's had a shower, he's workedout, he's worked in the morning
he did some admin and then hewent for a swim and then he
showered and he's just about toget into his work clothes to go
into the second half of the day.
He's lounging in dressing gown.
Yes, it's a daytime dressinggown, that's what it is.
(29:09):
Well, I feel like he's allowedto.
I mean, he's in his own homeand he's 33.
I feel like he's allowed to andhe's been busy.
But at the same time, god, itlooks.
What does it look?
It looks luxe, it looks very.
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Anyway, I was startled by it.
It's very great Gatsby.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yes, it's very great, gatsby.
Thank you, that's what I wasflailing.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
What is that?
What is that?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I mean, he's a step away from, yeah, a man of
leisure.
He fortunately has thetracky-dacks on under which I
felt is the appropriate way towear a dressing gown,
particularly a shortish one.
You're relaxed but ready.
You're relaxed but ready.
And should the dressing gownfall open, you don't hear that
high-pitched scream like arabbit caught in a trap when
your beloved happens to glancearound at the wrong time.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, I don't do that .
No, yeah, you wouldn't.
So is your dressing gown, justquickly, the one you threw on
because you were cold, which isodd.
We're talking mine's just.
It's very toweling, it's thin,it's not like stolen from a
hotel.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a given that yours is as old as Jaws and
threadbare and nasty and lookslike something that would be
rejected at the Brotherhood binwhen you put it yeah, yeah, yeah
.
No, it's time to upgrade.
No, but my beloved bought me ait's kind of a soft thing
dressing gown.
Embarrassingly, it's got myname embroidered on it.
(30:33):
Oh, okay, okay, I don't knowwhy that I know whose it is and
I know who I am.
I feel like that'sfuture-proofing for when I'm in
a home or something.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And it's like oh, that's Richard.
So is it pink and fluffy or isit plush velvet?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
No, no, it's plush Purple, it's plush brown, it's
manly brown.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh, okay, has it got your name in gold.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, what's the thing ?
Okay, just over the breast, notacross the back like a boxing
one.
I'd enjoy that, but no, itdoesn't.
We would like that.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Okay, now we're getting an image.
So now you're shuffling aroundthe house with that on and one
leg yeah okay, well, we didn'thave to mention the one leg.
I did Like, I said yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It would be, but jeez on tiling floor, your tissue
boxes go straight out from underyou when you're wearing them on
your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, yeah, all the jars, anyway, okay, well, okay,
good, no, yeah, look, I'm allfor the dressing gown.
Okay, but if you're throwing itover normal clothes because
you're cold, that's questionable.
Okay, all right.
If you're using it as abathroom thing, yeah, as a
(31:48):
transition from bathroom to.
It's a transition.
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it's a transition garment and what I'm
hearing from you is that whenyou abuse the transition garment
and it's just worn night andday with a pair of threadbare
old tracksuit pants that supporta team that's far away- yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, I did that.
All right.
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
No, you bring that up .
No, I think it's a transitiongarment.
That's what I'm writing downhere.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Speaking of the team that no one supports and is far
away.
I have come to a.
It's a revelation, but it'sfull circle.
I've gone oh, of course.
Of course, it just hit me rightbetween the eyes, so you'd be
aware that Collingwood playedlast week.
Yes, you're usually aware whenthey play.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yes, I am so it doesn't escape you.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
No, and that was on the Gold Coast right.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No, I know I wasn't there, couldn't believe it, yeah
, and so what I did was I wasgoing home from the gig, which
was near the ground, and allthis stuff and I thought oh, who
can I?
uh, who can I involve in thisand who can I?
So I sent a message to yourbeloved right to say, oh, this
looks bad, like all right, thatjust didn't know who was gonna,
(33:02):
and and then, and the gamefinishing everything.
And you know, usually you'llsend that sort of a message.
You know you might getsomething, you might not.
And then you get straight back,bang, oh, I tell you what.
Oh, he was doing that.
Look, he should drop him.
He can't kick and this is hard.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh, you got the coaching theories and you got
the player common free Bulletpoints.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, yeah, and I went oh okay, and I looked at it
for a while and I thought aboutit and I went, yes, and you
know what?
And I straight back, send, andI waited, and then straight back
again and went on back andforth, and back and forth and I
thought this is good, becauseI've got no one.
(33:48):
Who do I usually talk about?
I talk to the nebble, but shewon't even sit in the room with
me when.
I'm watching a game she justleaves the dog cowers under the
bed and everything.
I talk to my mother aboutCollingwood but she's not.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
No, she's too nice.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
She's too nice.
She's a lovely boy.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
They're all lovely boys, even if the ball's bounced
on the ground and hit him inthe face and then he's fallen
over and they've grabbed it andkicked a goal.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What a lovely boy, though, what a lovely boy, yeah,
yeah.
So, I can't and she doesn't getdeep into the tactics and none
of that.
So I realise something.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, and I think what you're really saying is she
doesn't take it personally andyou take it personally.
My beloved takes it personally,God knows Absolutely 100%.
And I'm just sitting on thecouch nodding occasionally when
I get these rants.
But she can see the lights outof my eyes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, oh no, I said to her at one point.
I said why don't you have theseconversations with Richard?
He's right there.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, and she laughed out loud.
She laughed and said he's justa kid.
Well, that explains a lot.
First of all, she went veryquiet and was tapping away and
then muttering to herself and Ijust quietly left and, you know,
went and played Dark Urge styleBaldur's Gate for a while and
then she's all G'd up.
And I came out of that and shegreeted me with the excited news
(35:02):
I bought us tickets to go alongand see Collingwood play at the
G oh, and I went.
What?
And?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
she went.
Yeah, Are you excited?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Collingwood are playing Brisbane, so we're going
.
And I said, oh okay, are yougoing to wear your jumper?
And she went am I wearing myjumper?
I've.
Are you going to wear yourjumper?
And she went am I wearing myjumper?
I've already been online to getall the rest of the gear.
And I'm like what are you goingas?
And she said well, you have tocome because someone's got to
(35:38):
help me on the train.
And my son said don't go on thetrain.
He said, just take your car.
I go.
The train's like 20 minutes andhe goes.
No, because someone and he didthat thing where you hide your
hand and you point with theother hand, pointing at my
beloved.
Someone's going to mouth off onthe train.
Oh, yes, and I said yeah, buthang on a sec.
(36:00):
It's Collingwood v Brisbane.
Everyone who's going to mouthoff on that train will be
dressed in Collingwood colours,including her, and there'll be
no one supporting Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So we'll be fine, maybe, anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So I blame you for this, because you've G'd her up
with your highfalutin talk.
And now it's not enough that Ihad to go to a night of the day,
costas, the day guy Q&A, I'venow got to go to the G and,
don't worry, I'll be sittingsomewhere horrendous.
I'll be sitting with the folkwho just spit and scream and
(36:38):
point angrily at the umpire.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I'm not going to wear anything.
Collingwood, are you going topaint your?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
face.
No, I'm not going to wearanything.
Collingwood.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Are you going to paint your face?
No, is there a chance of?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I am not.
I've got stuff spare if youwant, because I know what my
beloved will do?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
She'll go no, you're in, I'm in and I'll go, that's
not how this works.
Yes, I'll be next to you.
Yes, that's fine you sort ofblend in I'll tell the man to
stop yelling at you, you knowonce it starts and stuff, yes,
but I'm not wearing.
I draw the line at having towear Collingwood gear.
I just no, I won't, I can't, Iwon't.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Well, look, your beloved has just gone up even
further in my estimation nowshe's done that.
Now she's gone.
The next step?
Yeah, because?
Because what occurred to me wasI like I should you're living,
I prefer to do you're you'reliving the dream.
I prefer to watch football withyour beloved is what I'm saying
.
Rather than like we should, weshould watch.
(37:40):
And then I realized, oh, ofcourse I should sit and watch
collingwood games with yourbeloved.
And then I realized, oh, my god, I think I like her better than
you.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I just went hang on a minute.
Yeah, everyone does.
Yeah, okay, hang on, I seewhere we're at.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
You say this a lot and I think, no, that's not fair
.
But now I've suddenly realisedactually no, it's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Think about it, it's a thing.
The next stage of thisrelationship will be, as the
siren goes, you ring her andshe's on headphones and you both
can just watch the game,commentating while you're
watching to each other, but indifferent rooms and states, and
that way I can level up inBaldur's Gate and not have to be
(38:22):
concerned.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I mean, this is I mean.
Does she want to start apodcast?
I'd be happy to if she wants todo a Collingwood podcast.
Honestly, I'm enjoying this isthis is I mean.
Does she want?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
to start a podcast.
I'd be happy to.
Yeah, probably she wants to doa Collingwood podcast.
Honestly, I'm enjoying thisless and less.
I've got to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
That's a no-bad idea.
Your beloved and I are justbanging out a.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Collingwood podcast Black and white.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
You can sit in the back there.
It's tea and stuff when you'reone leg.
Yeah, righto, okay, sorry, it'sgone too far.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
But yes, at this end the nebel was very happy, she
went.
Yeah, no fine.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Well, okay, but I don't care, because do you know
what?
I've still not heard anythingabout the nebel and the lovely
gift of warming socks, Lovelygift yep, greater love hath no
man than he getteth you warmingsocks when thou doth complain of
the chilly feet.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
She talks about it a lot.
I really should send Richard apicture of the socks.
She's very busy.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Really, because I feel like her friends probably
hear from her.
You know she'd be like thephone's never out of her hand.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
How hard is it to text and go.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Thanks, there's a picture.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Well, hang on a minute, honestly.
Let's consider how hard sheworks.
Let's consider it's a text.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Come on, hang on.
You're just saying that becauseyou don't understand what she
does, so you just imagine it'svery difficult and time
consuming.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I have no idea what she does, but she carries me on
her back.
There's no doubt about that.
It's got to wear her down a bit.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Speaking of which, while she's busy toiling in the
salt mines, I wanted to ask youhave you got out?
There was some talk off air ofyou trying to get to the movies.
Have you achieved that goal?
Have you gone to the movies atall?
Yeah, yeah, you have All right.
What did?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
you go see.
Well, all right, I'll tell youwhat I saw first.
I saw the new Superman becauseit's Superman, so you can't go
wrong there and I saw Brad PittFormula.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
One oh drives fast.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
A lot of fast cars, so I knocked them both off in
one day.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Okay, jeez, what a day.
What a day, I feel like thatdidn't bring you any closer to
finishing your Masters.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
None what's nowhere near no technically Was that a
cheat day or something?
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Was that your day off from constant Masters work?
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Constant, non-stop.
I've been a bit of a lull.
But anyway I don't even have alull from nothing, but I'm
lulling from nothing.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
No, I don't even have a lull from nothing, but I'm
lulling from nothing, no, okay,well, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Oh, thoughts on the movies.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, briefly, Superman.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
yes, no, yeah, very, very much a James Gunn movie If
you know what, james Gunn?
Makes.
If you like, James Gunn, you'lllike it.
It's not your dad Superman, butvery comic book-y.
Okay, watchable and fun, butvery different, very sort of
colourful.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
People because America divides itself into left
and right, and you just have totake a position and then yell
at the other person, God, anyway.
They described it as being woke, Superman's woke, and I thought
to myself and I'm not anaficionado as such in Superman
lore, but even I know mostcomics and certainly Superman
(41:36):
was always about all that stuff.
And so they don't know.
The man of steel is what I'mgoing to say.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
It's true, but I don't want to spoil it at all.
No, don't spoil it, but no,it's not all the things they're
saying oh, it's going to be thisand that, no, no, but it is
very much from a comic book, sothere's giant monsters in it and
there's colourful stuff andthere's weird things going on.
And the Superman in this ismuch more a normal guy than it
(42:07):
is the other ones.
He's not as comfortable.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
It's very much me, just a normal guy with amazing
powers, pretty much you withamazing powers Does he ever
struggle to get?
One-legged off the toilet.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Oh, constantly.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Here's my thought about Superman, and I've said
this to the boy a lot.
And then we saw it happen inThor that there's no reason for
Superman to look buff.
He gets his power from theyellow sun.
He could look like that finalscene in Dodgeball.
Yes, nervous, he could looklike that.
(42:37):
And still, fast as light heatvision, lift a fridge without
popping his knee.
That's true, he doesn't need tobe buff.
No, that's not anyway, I'm justpointing that out.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, but he's sort of buff because he worked on a
farm.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Yeah, but he's not farm buffed.
Farmers don't look as jacked ashim.
They've got that sort of notparticular strength and then
they lift a cow on a fence post.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Have a look at the new guy, because his suit
doesn't.
We're going into too muchdetail, but his suit doesn't
have like muscles in it, likeall the other muscles.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Okay, okay, henry Cavill, bless him had like
muscles and stuff under the suitUnnecessary, I would have
thought.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, he's got.
Yeah, but this is he looks.
Just you know he's all right.
You know thing that when you goand see a film, whatever it is,
you watch it.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
You sort of get into the character and you walk out
going.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
yeah, that's like you just did then, like he's just
like me.
He's just like me with a cape.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
I saw Mission Impossible and it had a lot of
Tom Cruise running past with hisfingers pointed.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, yeah, and I thought to myself yeah, I
couldn't run like that.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Oh yeah, I actually that, yeah, I can't even
fantasize that much.
All right, that's depressing,that's sad.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
And then I saw Brad Pitt driving fast cars.
Yeah, now what was that like?
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Because I'm going to send the beloved off.
You know cars I don't have anycare for cars, none whatsoever.
But she and her girlfriend,they're right into it.
So I said the two of you shouldgo to Brad Pitt and race cars
with a higher octane soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Yes, it's very much Top Gun with race cars, but
that's actually one of thestrong points of it is that you
do get right into the wholeFormula One world and the cars
and you go, oh okay, and yousort of go there's a lot of cars
a lot of cars but you sort ofget more of an understanding of
it.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Lots of montage yeah well, jan and her love that.
They're all about it and I nah.
They often say that they couldtake my car and just replace it
with any old black car, and ifthey put the presets on the
radio I wouldn't notice, I'djust get in and go.
It's the same.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
That's true, but you might like it because it's
always old and he can't do itanymore.
Yeah, yeah, no, I see whatyou're doing, all right.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Surely you mentioned just before we started this.
You said you broke your ownrule, my own rule, yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
I have a rule with movies is when people say to me
oh, we should go and seewhatever it is.
Yes, it is, yes, Superman.
Oh, we'll go.
I'll go and see that with you,okay, good, all right, or I'll
wait.
No, don't, I'll go and see thatwith you, right?
So my rule is don't do that,just go and see it yourself.
As soon as the movie comes out,go and see it don't wait,
because if you wait, people letyou down every time it's not
(45:19):
that oh, no, no, weak, no, no,and then you miss it or you
spoil it.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
No, I don't care.
That's a very bleak philosophy,I've got to say.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Very bleak.
I'm not going to the movieswith you.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
I want you to understand that, whoever you are
, it doesn't matter, but youwould allow certain people to
come to the movies with you, butyou're not going to go to the
movies with them.
Is that what?
You're saying but that's notwhy I'm going.
Because you're not going towait for them to be ready and
then go with them.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
No, that's what you're telling me.
If you delay me in any way fromgetting to the film, then I
don't, because I just get grumpy.
Then I might be happy.
But for the Jaws 50thanniversary, if I go, I'm going.
If you want to come, if someonewants to come with me, sure,
but don't speak to me and don'tinterrupt me.
Don't bring your laptop.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I mean that does sound like a fun night out.
I'm going to say thoseparameters.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Oh, now I haven't got a listener of the week now and
the music started.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's very late.
You ran off on your film.
Well, have you got one ready?
Speaker 2 (46:26):
No, because no one responded to the Jean-Claude Van
Damme playlist, which meansthat the Steven Seagal playlist
is not going up until I getsomeone positively response.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Well, so they go on Spotify and.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
No, no, they just go to the bio in Instagram.
In the bio is the link.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Oh, okay, so it's a trick to get them to.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
It's said, link in bio.
It's said link in bio.
It's said Anyway.
All right, it's almost like youdon't care.
That's all I'm saying listenersAll right.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
There he goes.
Meanwhile, for the rest of you,one leg in the air.
Try and get off the toilet.
I don't think it's as easy ashe accidents.
I'll know what's happening.
Anyway, it's not important,better go.
That's time you're not going toget back.
Another week rolls by .
We're over halfway into theyear.
Gee, where has the year gone?
Huh, ah, yeah, sorry, this isthe Mess Around Podcast, welcome
.
If it's you for the first time,if you've listened more than
once, you know what you're infor.
Yeah, you're in forhard-hitting, hard-hitting,
cutting to the bone type ofconversations that just drill
(00:29):
down into what the zeitgeist ofthe street is.
That's yeah.
I can't keep that going.
No, it's just me, richardStubbs, and on the Gold Coast
lounging around in his palatialapartment.
The other half of the MessAround podcast, mr Andrew Hooper
(00:50):
.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hello, hello all.
I love that you can ask thequestion if you've listened more
than once and it's a genuinequestion to our listeners.
It's a genuine.
Have you listened more thanonce?
Yeah, well, there are peopleout there.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Don't worry, there are people who and I know there
are because if any time one ofus you stuffs up and doesn't
load the podcast on at somepoint a day, well you're not the
one who gets the flack.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, that is true.
I, that is true.
I do sometimes, or I sometimesset it to do it and it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I go about my day and I get these angry messages and
I'm like, oh well, can't doanything about it now I'll get
home and do it.
Do you know something?
Speaking about the year beinghalf over, yes, the other day
someone informed me that I thinkit was July 2nd or something,
or something the second month ofthe 2025.
(01:46):
Anyway, the point is we're nowcloser to 2050 than we are to
2000.
Officially.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well gosh, all right.
Just while we're on that theme,I saw one of those memes.
You know, if you could go backin time to when there was no
phone and no internet, becauseyou woke up in a simpler time of
1995?
What's the first thing you do?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And I go wait a minute, that's not.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And then I went oh, it's 30 years, but still it
doesn't oh.
God, I mean you go through thisdaily.
You go to university and talkto young people.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, I'm actually.
I think it's August 28th I'mjust off the top of my head but
somewhere around that in Augustthere's a re-release of Jaws the
movie at the cinema?
Yes, I'm like I'm going to that.
Oh, 50 years isn't it 50 years?
And I went wait, yeah, no it's50 years, 50 years.
(02:42):
Yeah, Jaws is 50 years old.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's right.
I know.
Well, just on this, it'sprobably I was wondering when
I'd mention this, but I feellike this is appropriate now
because we've just talked aboutthis and looked at each other
and shuddered.
I managed to pop my knee outthe other day, did you yep, yep,
yep, and I I wasn't doing asusual, did nothing.
(03:07):
Really, I was dangling my legon a stool and then I sort of
got off the stool and movedslightly laterally and clunk, my
knee locked in the flexedposition, in the bent position,
but wasn't happy being thereLike it was like oh, that's bad,
(03:29):
and you've frozen in place.
So I had to gently if anyone'sever done this before I had to
gently straighten that keep.
Oh, geez, that hurts.
I've got to because I can't letit sit there.
It's going to swell and clunk.
And the whole upper part of mylegs moved sideways as it
clunked back in and I said somethings.
(03:52):
You know, flocks of birds tookoff out of the trees in the
neighbourhood and you know,children flinched and horses
yeah that started.
It echoed around theneighbourhood and it's been sore
ever since, getting better,though I don't know exactly what
happened.
I think I have to go and seesomeone about that, because it
(04:13):
does it from time to time, juston.
You know, when I'm having agood time it just decides I
don't.
It feels like your knee'sdislocated.
For those of you who wonderwhat it feels like, but I'm not
sure it actually has it, itcould be a ligament twisted
around a tendon that's connectedto some meniscus.
I mean, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Because I've seen footballers do this and then
violently bash their leg to putit back in so they can keep
playing.
Yeah, did you do that?
Did you angrily?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
go after it.
I didn't violently bash it,because at the time I was eee in
terms of white noise going on,oh, and so I just I knew it
couldn't stay where it was andthat we had to do something
swiftly and by we I meant me andso I gradually kind of tried to
straighten the leg and guide it.
(05:05):
So it clunked back intoposition and then felt a bit
faint and called for water and atowel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
This is following up on the 2025 back incident.
I understand, completelyimmobilised it went through my
mind as well.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yep yep, and my beloved's now gone to 11.
Well, you have to see a doctorand you'll need an MRI.
And I go, it's and my beloved'snow gone to 11.
Well, you have to see a doctorand you'll need an MRI, and I go
it's fine, it's fine.
Having said that, the next day Igot up early to go boxing and
I'd had a shocking night's sleepbecause it locked out a couple
more times overnight and thenbecause I stupidly didn't use a
(05:43):
pillow to support my leg.
Anyway, stupidly, anyway.
So I've got up and I'm oh jeez,I'm limping.
I'm limping, it's quite soreand I've got.
I don't want to get too graphic, but it's integral in the story
.
I had to go to the toilet, ofcourse you did, and I realised
okay, that's good, that'shappened.
And then, I'm like well, no, I'mfine, I sit down, I'm sitting
(06:04):
down.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh, okay, that's even worse.
I've got to get up from that,okay.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah.
So I'm sitting down on thetoilet and I go well, better get
to boxing.
And I go oh, I can't actually.
No, I can't push through thebent leg there.
I'm in a fair bit the good legto get up.
And at that point I thoughtshould I even be going to boxing
(06:29):
?
Yeah, and it took.
My point is it took that bitbefore I questioned it.
And when I questioned it, I sawmy son, who's just a personal
trainer, my personal trainer tomy personal trainer.
To make things worse, his imageappeared, like on TV, when you
know, the ghost appears pointingat me, going what the hell are
(06:53):
you doing?
And I went.
I don't know, I was just goingto do what I always do, and I
guess what I'm saying is Ireflected as I contacted my
boxing mate and said no, mate,not today, knees locked up, and
he gave a thumbs up.
Yeah, I reflected.
Geez, I really didn't thinkthat through.
(07:14):
I feel like a smart personwould have done something better
earlier.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's what I feel, I wish I knew what that was.
Okay.
There's a lot of things I wantto unpack.
Yeah, first of all, yes, you do.
You do a lot of bike riding, alot of boxing, a lot of physio,
a lot of gym.
It doesn't appear to be havinga positive effect All right.
Just as a general rule.
Whatever it is you're doing,I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I tell you what thank goodness for the back injury,
because I taught myself a newway of using the toilet paper
and I was able to employ thatway, because I know what you
were thinking.
Jeez, how did you manage?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, don't worry about that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I've got a new system .
Speaker 2 (07:56):
None of us were First time.
None of us were First time I'vegot a new system in years.
I want the listeners to be gladthat I'm not going to pursue
this, because right now you'redesperate to explain your system
.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Well, no, no, in fact , I'm storing it up because if
we ever go to video or we caninsert video of other sorts and
I could maybe do a help video onhow to how to.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know what you need.
I don't.
I'm going to contact yourbeloved and your boy.
I'm going to say well, clearly,if he's going to do that and
his knee's going to go out, heneeds, like a rail, a handrail
next to the toilet.
That's what he needs.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
A grip bar.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, like a big stainless steel bar.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I needs A grip bar, yeah, like a big stainless steel
bar.
I've been talking to thebeloved about getting one of
those chairs that go up thestairs, yes, and what I like
about them is the speed at whichthey go.
So you've got time and she goes, what would you do?
It's going to take hours to goup the stairs and around the
corner I said nothing, I justraw dog it, raw dog it.
Just sit there staring at you.
(08:57):
It was like no facial expressionand then whip around the corner
like the scenic railway orsomething whoosh around the
corner and then Just making eyecontact the whole way up.
Yeah, I kind of look forward tothat.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Can I just, while we're here, you know the physio
that you're still going to?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You do the Pilates.
Yeah, when you do the Pilates.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, what's that for ?
Still Is this the?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
back still no, and knee and knee.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah Well, they're going to love this.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
No, I went today and they were like oh gee, that's
not ideal.
We might get you doing someother stuff today, yeah, Okay,
is it the left or the right knee?
It's the left.
You know what?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
What we should do.
It's like football clubs weshould have an injury report
every week.
Okay.
We've got to mesh around.
Okay, what have we got?
Well, we've got ligamentsthroughout this week.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I mean, I just feel that the show can't continue
forever.
My body's, the spirit's willing, but the body's just falling
apart.
Yeah well, you know what getsme about it.
It's falling apart and yet it'sdone.
No hard labour ever.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Maybe that's something in that.
But yes, I know what you mean.
You've never picked up a heavything.
I mean I have.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I've given it a bit of a swing, the mattock
obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
If.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I can find that.
I'll use it again, but somehowit's been put away and I can't
find it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, there's an upside your beloved will have an
upside to your constantinjuries.
You can only do so much damagenow because you're completely
incapacitated.
So swings and roundabouts,that's all I'm saying there.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Tell you what speaker swings and roundabouts.
Her niece contacted us and saidoh, I'm moving house, can
everyone come around and help?
And I said, geez, I'd love to,babe, but I think my neck and my
back and my knee would all goout in unison.
So I'm afraid I'm going to haveto say no to that one and I
can't just go along, because youknow me, once I'm there I'd
(10:43):
want to help and I'll injuremyself.
I don't trust me to allow me togo along, babe.
I ran that argument and, Ithink, pretty convincingly.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
George Carlin used to say that once you get to a
certain age, you don't need anexcuse not to do anything.
It's great, it's just no, don'twant to.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No, don't want to.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, I will.
I will.
I'll draw the attention awayfrom your injuries because, it's
getting sad.
Now Just for a second.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I'm getting better, it's better?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, you are, but we've now got you reduced to
like a thing, lifting you up thestairs, a seat and a railing.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I do like that idea, and then later you could gas it
up.
Oh jeez, so it flings you outat the end.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Maybe just one of those handles to get you off the
toilet, like a chain hangingfrom the roof and you're just
hoist.
Anyway, I visualise youconstantly like you're in rehab,
because you're back from NAMMor something.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I would come off the toilet as in the reverse
position of Bruce Lee going downthe rope in Enter the Dragon.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So for those of you playing along at home, bruce,
Lee is shirtless.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
He chooses to slide down the rope into the
underground tunnels, but hechooses to go down hand over
hand.
Yes, that's fine, but for somereason he's sitting out with his
legs straight, so he's in astraight out, so it's at a right
angle, like why the abs workout, mate.
Oh, I don't know, I justthought I could, so I'd have a
chain from the roof and I couldhaul myself up, but I'd be in
(12:12):
that position, locked out, withthe legs out in front of me.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's okay?
Probably not, that's unlikely.
That's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
If anything, I wouldn't screw it into the roof
properly.
It'd come away and it'd fallheavily on me and I'd crash to
the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, or I'd imagine you'd have the leg the knee that
can't bend or won't bend, juststicking out straight, and
you'll be standing on the otherone, using that to push yourself
up while using your arms.
So it appears as though you'redoing the Bruce Lee and go ha,
look at this love.
But in fact you've only got oneleg out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Too much thought.
I am happy eating whatever mybeloved cooks for me, because
there's no chance she's going tobother with a Beef Wellington
special, because she just has towait and she knows that oh no,
you'll break.
So no need for me to give thisa push, I'll just let him try to
.
You know, walk and breathe, Iknow.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You have this procession of injuries and it's
never fell off the bike.
No, god, no, I had to hand tohand For the bear no, no.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's just.
I stood up, yeah, I turnedaround.
I was sitting on a chair andthen went to move and my body
went.
How?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
dare you.
If it was me, I'd be like whereare all these injuries coming
from?
Well, I'm secretly Batman atnight.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That's right, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Getting smacked up.
Yeah, all right.
Well, I have had my Sad.
My gym people haven't askedabout the Jackman for a while.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
People are a bit sad.
I've been reached out to.
People have slid into my DMsjust going oh, mate Roper and
the Jackman.
It's the saddest thing in theworld.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And I go.
It is, and we've had to stoptalking about it because he's
getting nowhere and it's just.
It's like watching a kid justpushing against the door marked
pull.
It's like watching a kid justpushing against the door marked
pull, we can't stand it anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
All right, okay, yes, all right.
Yes, we'll swing back.
Yes, I have had inquiries aboutthe Jackman.
I've had people say is thatstill going?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, all right?
No, it's really not.
We put it on the back burner,we didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
We just moved it aside.
There's actually.
He doesn't listen, so who cares?
Actually, a big hello to a kidcalled Ryan at uni.
He said I'll come to the gymwith you.
I said sure.
So I said, and I'm showing himsome stuff, all right.
And he's been doing it for anumber of weeks.
He's getting good.
Now I'm like, oh, you've got tostop now, because you're that
far from being stronger than meafter six weeks.
(14:32):
Yeah, I said all right, this issad.
I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Did he explain to you about the power of testosterone
and how when you're low T, youdon't get to achieve anything.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I know I can't teach him anything.
Once he can outlift me, it'slike no, I'd get out of my way,
old man.
But I've discovered my jointsare all getting better because
I'm not lifting heavy things.
I'm not lifting heavy things,I'm not really heavy things.
I've discovered my newfavourite piece of gym equipment
.
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's nice.
Everyone's got a favourite.
Yeah, sure Some people.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It's the leg abductor one where you push your knees
out wide and do that.
That's stupid.
A lot of people like that one.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
A bit like the rowy one.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I reckon there's no one who likes the Stairmaster.
I see people on those thingsand I just think no, this is my.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'm the man.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
What I am the one.
Is that your piece of equipment?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I am the lord of the Stairmaster.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I am the one.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So wait a minute.
Why are you on the Stairmaster?
You're nine foot tall and rakethin, and now you're going to
get a bubble butt.
That's the strangest lookingthing.
Why would?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
you want that developed.
I can't.
My feet don't quite fit on thesteps either.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
No, of course not.
It's like Sideshow Bob tryingto go on the Stairmaster.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Why would you want?
You don't want Two things, ohGod, no two things.
One because you can just put iton like one or two.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, still, though, and you're still doing something
.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
right, you're just looking around.
But two, because I starteddoing it and I realized I went
oh wait, this is elevatortraining is what this is.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
This is me getting ready for when the elevator goes
out in my building, okay, andsuddenly I have to shoot up,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I figured out how much my dog weighs and I've gone
and found a dumbbell thatweighs about the same as my dog.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, weighs the same .
Yeah, I'm hanging it.
Just hold it, cradling it inone arm.
And every now and then itwriggles.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Right, and then I get the phone and I ring Peter and
to panic and yell abuse at me.
While I'm doing it, he goes ohmy God, everything, oh my God.
And I just walk up like I'mwalking up steps.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Two things.
First of all, incredibly, thatmakes sense.
I think physios talk aboutexercise.
That is the same exercise asthe action that you're trying to
do.
Like you know, you learn tostand up and sit down, and it's
purpose I don't know.
I forget what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Anyway you're doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And the other thing is, I can't believe a part of me
mentioned the Stairmaster asopposed to the Easy Bar or
something, and it was the pieceof equipment that you're about.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's weird, that's strange.
Spot on, I did 50 floors theother day.
Why?
Because now I know Were youjust soaked in sweat.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh yeah, just pouring off.
Were people flinching aroundyou?
Was it relentlessly on the?
Did you have your rubber bandof dorkiness to hold your
steamed up blasters on your head, is it?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I love it.
I mean to be fair.
Next to me there's all nubilefit people with it on 11.
Hey hey, hey, hey.
She's running up it like thiswith her headphones on, and I'm
just Got the Kate Bush on Plank,plank, plank, you're running up
that hill I go very slow.
This might be your thing.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
You know your brother beats you on almost every level
and I know that that's a realcross you have to bear because
he's like, it's like a livingbooper ad, you know, Look at
that one.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That one's just a bit better than that one.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
He does, anyway, but this could be your thing.
You could practice this andthen you could go on those races
where you see dudes who areinterviewed afterwards.
Yeah, he ran all the way up thetop of the Gold Coast Towers.
He just, oh, he never stopped.
Yeah, it was a race.
I took it two at a time and Ijust ran the stairs.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
They said do you want ?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
to take the lift down .
I went.
No, I'm walking down.
You know those guys, no, no.
Next time people come to myhouse, next time my brother
comes to my house and thenquietly get in the lift.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You'll get in the lift, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Because I get in the lift A I don't want 38 floors of
stairs and B.
I want to emerge open doors andI'm in your living room.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, all I'm saying is you want a piece of equipment
at the gym that doesfunctionally something that you
need, right?
So, I'm on the stair, master.
What you need is the toiletmaster.
You need a piece of equipment.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I think that's just a chair, really.
Isn't it A chair, right?
I don't think it has to be atoilet.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Get your boy to attach a cable right to a weight
machine above you and thenheave to get yourself up.
That's all I'm saying.
Functional training, it's theway to go One-legged.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Can you do a one-legged stand from a sitting
position?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Well, I can.
Yes, can you Invalid?
Yes, can you?
Yes, I can.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Really Easy, I feel like I want you to go to the
toilet now, sit on it and justtry to get off only using one
leg.
I don't think that's easy,because you're at right angles
for a start.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
A lot of people feel like they want to go to the
toilet.
Listening to this podcast, ithappens a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't reckon that's as easy as you just said.
I'm certain it isn't.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
No, it is.
Look, if we want to, it is, butyou have to lean forward.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
No, you just start and then you've got to push,
obviously even leaning forward,because you lean forward, but
that's just.
Your impossibly narrowshoulders have come forward.
Your ass is still out at rightangles and that's out the back.
And the muscle to ass ratiojust isn't there.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I know I'm a big triangle.
I know this.
When I have to lean, I can't dothings.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I'm just a big yes.
Well, look, not now, not now.
Well, actually it could be now,but later.
After you've listened to thispodcast, go sit on the toilet
and just even get off in onemotion one motion with one foot
off the ground.
All right, I see what I didthere yes, okay, we'll leave
that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That wasn't my, that was not.
No, it wasn't okay.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
But still, anyway, it's good that you've got a
favourite bit of gym equipment.
I mean it's nothing that'sgoing to help with the Jackson,
but it is.
Jackman but it is somethingthat could potentially see you
right the next time there's acrisis, it'll be an emergency,
I'll be ready.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Now this is tangentially associated with the
gym.
It's not really, but it's sortof a little bit.
So when I go to the gym and Ihave my gym attire, and you know
it's sort of winter gym attire.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
God, so I occasionally wear the
trackie-dacks.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, all right, I never lower myself to
trackie-dack.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
At the gym.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, you're always shorted up.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Shorted up.
Do you ever go the tight, thelong?
Oh, I've done that occasionally.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Anyway this is a whole different issue, but
anyway so I said to the belovedthe other day Are you in your
tights on the Stairmaster?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
No, I wasn't the other day.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Are you singing out with your headphones on going,
lance, get Fans out.
Yeah, a bit of that, fans out.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Okay, it's the terry-toweling headband.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
So I said to the beloved the other day I said you
know the tracky-dacks, I'veworn them on the stairmaster.
I get a bit sweaty and I saidand I do tend to wear them
around a lot, you know, becauseit's winter I do tend to wear
them.
She said, yes, and they arelying on the floor next to the
bed in case as soon as I.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah the burglar pant .
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, the burglar pant.
She said yeah.
I said I just I wear themconstantly.
And she said yeah.
I said do you think I shouldget another pair Right?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
And she said she reacted so violently, she's so
just yes, oh, jeez, yes, wow,you should Look out, you should
yes, yes, you should, yes, yesyes, so okay, this is
interesting.
No, no, because how long haveyou been?
So you've just got the one pair, not an inside.
You don't have an inside oneand then one you wear to gym, no
(22:24):
, oh, okay, well, that's bad.
And how long has Old Faithfulbeen around?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh, these have been at least pre-plague at least.
Oh, probably five, six, seven,they've got to be seven or eight
years, I reckon, easy.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Well, it's 50 years since Jaws.
Were you wearing them when Jawscame out?
I?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
wasn't wearing them when Jaws came out.
They have been replaced.
I did, you can tell you belovedthis.
I did have a Collingwood pairwhen I was in London.
I had the Rock and theCollingwood trackie-dacks.
Gee, that got me some looks,but they went eventually.
But these ones have gone theinner lining is gone Like the
outside looks okay, but theinside no.
No one would want to lookinside them.
(23:02):
There's no mesh holdinganything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
No, Nothing's being held in place.
I think I'm going to go out ona limb and say you need two
pairs, you need comfy no one cansee me I'm lounging around the
house pair and then you needyour quite sleek.
Look at this.
Is that a brand?
No, it's misspelled, but itlooks like it's copied a brand.
Go to gym trackie.
(23:26):
They're not the same, becauseone is boggy bum and the other
one ain't.
So I think you need two twopairs and the ones that you're
wearing now.
You need to set them on fireand throw them off the balcony.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, it's most likely yes, the Neville does not
ever want to see them again.
No with her.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I never want to hear about them again because I don't
think they're washed all thatoften either.
Oh no, they need to beavailable at all times, that's
my point they're always on call,so there's no time they can be
wet.
No, no, I understand straightaway.
No, not true, and no, that'sbad, no.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And sometimes you can sleep in them if you really
want to, if you're really cold.
They're just multi-purpose.
But I never go.
What you're referring to as theboggy bum, fleecy ones I always
go.
Oh, he's probably an athlete,he hasn't given up.
No, he's probably an athlete,that's why he's wearing them.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
There's a lot there that I need to deal with and I
just don't feel the podcast'sgoing to give us enough time.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
No, I'm equipped, I can tell you.
Well, I'm just saying I haveone at the moment.
I think one is the appropriateamount.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No Old Faithful needs to be taken out like old Yella.
You know, two go into theforest, one comes back.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And you need to buy two.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
They don't have to be fleecy because you can't stand
the heat.
They don't have to be fleecy,but they have to be a looser,
more comfortable trouser pant,and then they've got to be a
slick.
I mean, the ones around thehome could be velour, they could
be essential velour, if youwanted and you could prowl
around, which it would amuse theshit out of me, but the ones at
(25:08):
the gym have to be.
You know they're a nice brand.
Yeah, I think they are, orcertainly are very close to a
brand.
Just while we're talkingclothing, it brings up something
I wanted to bring up how oftendo you dressing gown?
How often?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh, okay.
Okay, yes, you've raised apoint there.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
This is an issue at my place.
Okay, there was a time when Iwas especially in London where I
would dressing gown.
Oh, a lot, a lot, okay, a lotLike I remember my….
Speaker 1 (25:44):
We're seeing a real image of you just unemployed in
London in your Collingwoodtracksuit Dax and just wearing
your dressing gown?
Yes, and your beloved cominghome from a hard day at work and
you're still in the Collingwoodtracksuit and the dressing gown
and just making another cup oftea talking about something
someone said online.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Well, I clearly remember her sister.
Her sister-in-law came aroundonce and the dressing gown was
hanging up somewhere and shewalked past and went hey, andrew
, she didn't.
She just saw the dressing gownand she just assumed it was me.
She went oh no, it's not you,it's just the dressing gown.
What about?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
now, though, what about?
Now?
You're in God's own country.
The sun shines, you're up thetop.
When you get up in the morning,do you slip the dressing gown
on?
No, over an evening watching TV, does the dressing gown go on.
When would you dressing gown?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
now.
Now I've cut back, I've had to.
There's been an intervention.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There was an intervention.
All right, yeah, you can't wearthat all day.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
All right, but now I only wear it like when I'm
finished I had a shower and thenI'll dressing gown and put on
all this sort of and I walkaround like that and that's fine
.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
But then I've been told I have to put clothes on.
Well, are there tracksuit pantsunder the dressing gown?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
or do you just?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
stroll around in a bit of a shorty dressing gown
and an attitude, and that'sabout it.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, well, it's the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I know that.
That's why I'm asking thequestion.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
All right, okay, If you must know okay.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Well, we need to know .
It's science.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
All right, okay.
So if you come to my place,there's only over the course of
24 hours there's only threepossible outfits.
There will be the dressing gown, probably with a towel around
my waist right, and then thedressing gown on top of that.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Okay, Then you go.
Well, that's it.
That's weird.
Why have you got the wet towel?
Why aren't you tracky-dacking?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Because I put the towel on and then I go well, I
can't walk around just a towel.
No, you can't.
What if someone comes to theelevator?
What if you?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
dried yourself off and just put the dressing gown
on.
I can't be bothered.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
So then I Either that , or the tracky decks right
which are there in case of, andthen the only other third option
is actual clothes.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
See, I've been in my tracky deck and comfy top,
long-sleeve top, but I've been abit chilled and I didn't know
what to do.
And then I put my dressing gownon and went wow, now I'm warm,
this is lovely.
But I caught sight of myself inthe mirror and I felt less
about myself.
Yeah, okay, I thought that's alow bar.
Your beloved can't look on thatwith fondness.
(28:13):
And then I went round to myboy's place and he's always
loved a dressing gown, since Igot him a Boba Fett one.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh, okay, that's a whole different thing.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
He wore the Boba Fett .
He wore the Fett man dressinggown just nonstop and then
eventually, I think it all fellapart or rotted or crawled away
somewhere or fell in a sarlaccpit or something.
But now he's got another one.
He's got a velvety soft kind ofI don't know what it is.
I didn't get that close.
Here's the point, though.
I went around during the day,kind of I don't know what it is,
I didn't get that close.
Here's the point, though.
(28:45):
I went around during the day.
He's in his dressing gown, yeah, but he's in between.
He's had a shower, he's workedout, he's worked in the morning
he did some admin and then hewent for a swim and then he
showered and he's just about toget into his work clothes to go
into the second half of the day.
He's lounging in dressing gown.
Yes, it's a daytime dressinggown, that's what it is.
(29:09):
Well, I feel like he's allowedto.
I mean, he's in his own homeand he's 33.
I feel like he's allowed to andhe's been busy.
But at the same time, god, itlooks.
What does it look?
It looks luxe, it looks very.
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Anyway, I was startled by it.
It's very great Gatsby.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yes, it's very great, gatsby.
Thank you, that's what I wasflailing.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
What is that?
What is that?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I mean, he's a step away from, yeah, a man of
leisure.
He fortunately has thetracky-dacks on under which I
felt is the appropriate way towear a dressing gown,
particularly a shortish one.
You're relaxed but ready.
You're relaxed but ready.
And should the dressing gownfall open, you don't hear that
high-pitched scream like arabbit caught in a trap when
your beloved happens to glancearound at the wrong time.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yeah, I don't do that .
No, yeah, you wouldn't.
So is your dressing gown, justquickly, the one you threw on
because you were cold, which isodd.
We're talking mine's just.
It's very toweling, it's thin,it's not like stolen from a
hotel.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's a given that yours is as old as Jaws and
threadbare and nasty and lookslike something that would be
rejected at the Brotherhood binwhen you put it yeah, yeah, yeah
.
No, it's time to upgrade.
No, but my beloved bought me ait's kind of a soft thing
dressing gown.
Embarrassingly, it's got myname embroidered on it.
(30:33):
Oh, okay, okay, I don't knowwhy that I know whose it is and
I know who I am.
I feel like that'sfuture-proofing for when I'm in
a home or something.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And it's like oh, that's Richard.
So is it pink and fluffy or isit plush velvet?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
No, no, it's plush Purple, it's plush brown, it's
manly brown.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh, okay, has it got your name in gold.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, what's the thing ?
Okay, just over the breast, notacross the back like a boxing
one.
I'd enjoy that, but no, itdoesn't.
We would like that.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Okay, now we're getting an image.
So now you're shuffling aroundthe house with that on and one
leg yeah okay, well, we didn'thave to mention the one leg.
I did Like, I said yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It would be, but jeez on tiling floor, your tissue
boxes go straight out from underyou when you're wearing them on
your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, yeah, all the jars, anyway, okay, well, okay,
good, no, yeah, look, I'm allfor the dressing gown.
Okay, but if you're throwing itover normal clothes because
you're cold, that's questionable.
Okay, all right.
If you're using it as abathroom thing, yeah, as a
(31:48):
transition from bathroom to.
It's a transition.
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, it's a transition garment and what I'm
hearing from you is that whenyou abuse the transition garment
and it's just worn night andday with a pair of threadbare
old tracksuit pants that supporta team that's far away- yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Yeah, I did that.
All right.
Okay, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
No, you bring that up .
No, I think it's a transitiongarment.
That's what I'm writing downhere.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Speaking of the team that no one supports and is far
away.
I have come to a.
It's a revelation, but it'sfull circle.
I've gone oh, of course.
Of course, it just hit me rightbetween the eyes, so you'd be
aware that Collingwood playedlast week.
Yes, you're usually aware whenthey play.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yes, I am so it doesn't escape you.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
No, and that was on the Gold Coast right.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No, I know I wasn't there, couldn't believe it, yeah
, and so what I did was I wasgoing home from the gig, which
was near the ground, and allthis stuff and I thought oh, who
can I?
uh, who can I involve in thisand who can I?
So I sent a message to yourbeloved right to say, oh, this
looks bad, like all right, thatjust didn't know who was gonna,
(33:02):
and and then, and the gamefinishing everything.
And you know, usually you'llsend that sort of a message.
You know you might getsomething, you might not.
And then you get straight back,bang, oh, I tell you what.
Oh, he was doing that.
Look, he should drop him.
He can't kick and this is hard.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh, you got the coaching theories and you got
the player common free Bulletpoints.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, yeah, and I went oh okay, and I looked at it
for a while and I thought aboutit and I went, yes, and you
know what?
And I straight back, send, andI waited, and then straight back
again and went on back andforth, and back and forth and I
thought this is good, becauseI've got no one.
(33:48):
Who do I usually talk about?
I talk to the nebble, but shewon't even sit in the room with
me when.
I'm watching a game she justleaves the dog cowers under the
bed and everything.
I talk to my mother aboutCollingwood but she's not.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
No, she's too nice.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
She's too nice.
She's a lovely boy.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
They're all lovely boys, even if the ball's bounced
on the ground and hit him inthe face and then he's fallen
over and they've grabbed it andkicked a goal.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
What a lovely boy, though, what a lovely boy, yeah,
yeah.
So, I can't and she doesn't getdeep into the tactics and none
of that.
So I realise something.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, and I think what you're really saying is she
doesn't take it personally andyou take it personally.
My beloved takes it personally,God knows Absolutely 100%.
And I'm just sitting on thecouch nodding occasionally when
I get these rants.
But she can see the lights outof my eyes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, oh no, I said to her at one point.
I said why don't you have theseconversations with Richard?
He's right there.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, and she laughed out loud.
She laughed and said he's justa kid.
Well, that explains a lot.
First of all, she went veryquiet and was tapping away and
then muttering to herself and Ijust quietly left and, you know,
went and played Dark Urge styleBaldur's Gate for a while and
then she's all G'd up.
And I came out of that and shegreeted me with the excited news
(35:02):
I bought us tickets to go alongand see Collingwood play at the
G oh, and I went.
What?
And?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
she went.
Yeah, Are you excited?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Collingwood are playing Brisbane, so we're going
.
And I said, oh okay, are yougoing to wear your jumper?
And she went am I wearing myjumper?
I've.
Are you going to wear yourjumper?
And she went am I wearing myjumper?
I've already been online to getall the rest of the gear.
And I'm like what are you goingas?
And she said well, you have tocome because someone's got to
(35:38):
help me on the train.
And my son said don't go on thetrain.
He said, just take your car.
I go.
The train's like 20 minutes andhe goes.
No, because someone and he didthat thing where you hide your
hand and you point with theother hand, pointing at my
beloved.
Someone's going to mouth off onthe train.
Oh, yes, and I said yeah, buthang on a sec.
(36:00):
It's Collingwood v Brisbane.
Everyone who's going to mouthoff on that train will be
dressed in Collingwood colours,including her, and there'll be
no one supporting Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
So we'll be fine, maybe, anyway.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So I blame you for this, because you've G'd her up
with your highfalutin talk.
And now it's not enough that Ihad to go to a night of the day,
costas, the day guy Q&A, I'venow got to go to the G and,
don't worry, I'll be sittingsomewhere horrendous.
I'll be sitting with the folkwho just spit and scream and
(36:38):
point angrily at the umpire.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I'm not going to wear anything.
Collingwood, are you going topaint your?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
face.
No, I'm not going to wearanything.
Collingwood.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Are you going to paint your face?
No, is there a chance of?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I am not.
I've got stuff spare if youwant, because I know what my
beloved will do?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
She'll go no, you're in, I'm in and I'll go, that's
not how this works.
Yes, I'll be next to you.
Yes, that's fine you sort ofblend in I'll tell the man to
stop yelling at you, you knowonce it starts and stuff, yes,
but I'm not wearing.
I draw the line at having towear Collingwood gear.
I just no, I won't, I can't, Iwon't.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Well, look, your beloved has just gone up even
further in my estimation nowshe's done that.
Now she's gone.
The next step?
Yeah, because?
Because what occurred to me wasI like I should you're living,
I prefer to do you're you'reliving the dream.
I prefer to watch football withyour beloved is what I'm saying
.
Rather than like we should, weshould watch.
(37:40):
And then I realized, oh, ofcourse I should sit and watch
collingwood games with yourbeloved.
And then I realized, oh, my god, I think I like her better than
you.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I just went hang on a minute.
Yeah, everyone does.
Yeah, okay, hang on, I seewhere we're at.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
You say this a lot and I think, no, that's not fair
.
But now I've suddenly realisedactually no, it's a real thing.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Think about it, it's a thing.
The next stage of thisrelationship will be, as the
siren goes, you ring her andshe's on headphones and you both
can just watch the game,commentating while you're
watching to each other, but indifferent rooms and states, and
that way I can level up inBaldur's Gate and not have to be
(38:22):
concerned.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I mean, this is I mean.
Does she want to start apodcast?
I'd be happy to if she wants todo a Collingwood podcast.
Honestly, I'm enjoying this isthis is I mean.
Does she want?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
to start a podcast.
I'd be happy to.
Yeah, probably she wants to doa Collingwood podcast.
Honestly, I'm enjoying thisless and less.
I've got to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
That's a no-bad idea.
Your beloved and I are justbanging out a.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Collingwood podcast Black and white.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
You can sit in the back there.
It's tea and stuff when you'reone leg.
Yeah, righto, okay, sorry, it'sgone too far.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
But yes, at this end the nebel was very happy, she
went.
Yeah, no fine.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Well, okay, but I don't care, because do you know
what?
I've still not heard anythingabout the nebel and the lovely
gift of warming socks, Lovelygift yep, greater love hath no
man than he getteth you warmingsocks when thou doth complain of
the chilly feet.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
She talks about it a lot.
I really should send Richard apicture of the socks.
She's very busy.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Really, because I feel like her friends probably
hear from her.
You know she'd be like thephone's never out of her hand.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
How hard is it to text and go.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Thanks, there's a picture.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Well, hang on a minute, honestly.
Let's consider how hard sheworks.
Let's consider it's a text.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Come on, hang on.
You're just saying that becauseyou don't understand what she
does, so you just imagine it'svery difficult and time
consuming.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I have no idea what she does, but she carries me on
her back.
There's no doubt about that.
It's got to wear her down a bit.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Speaking of which, while she's busy toiling in the
salt mines, I wanted to ask youhave you got out?
There was some talk off air ofyou trying to get to the movies.
Have you achieved that goal?
Have you gone to the movies atall?
Yeah, yeah, you have All right.
What did?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
you go see.
Well, all right, I'll tell youwhat I saw first.
I saw the new Superman becauseit's Superman, so you can't go
wrong there and I saw Brad PittFormula.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
One oh drives fast.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
A lot of fast cars, so I knocked them both off in
one day.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Okay, jeez, what a day.
What a day, I feel like thatdidn't bring you any closer to
finishing your Masters.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
None what's nowhere near no technically Was that a
cheat day or something?
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Was that your day off from constant Masters work?
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Constant, non-stop.
I've been a bit of a lull.
But anyway I don't even have alull from nothing, but I'm
lulling from nothing.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
No, I don't even have a lull from nothing, but I'm
lulling from nothing, no, okay,well, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Oh, thoughts on the movies.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, briefly, Superman.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
yes, no, yeah, very, very much a James Gunn movie If
you know what, james Gunn?
Makes.
If you like, James Gunn, you'lllike it.
It's not your dad Superman, butvery comic book-y.
Okay, watchable and fun, butvery different, very sort of
colourful.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
People because America divides itself into left
and right, and you just have totake a position and then yell
at the other person, God, anyway.
They described it as being woke, Superman's woke, and I thought
to myself and I'm not anaficionado as such in Superman
lore, but even I know mostcomics and certainly Superman
(41:36):
was always about all that stuff.
And so they don't know.
The man of steel is what I'mgoing to say.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
It's true, but I don't want to spoil it at all.
No, don't spoil it, but no,it's not all the things they're
saying oh, it's going to be thisand that, no, no, but it is
very much from a comic book, sothere's giant monsters in it and
there's colourful stuff andthere's weird things going on.
And the Superman in this ismuch more a normal guy than it
(42:07):
is the other ones.
He's not as comfortable.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
It's very much me, just a normal guy with amazing
powers, pretty much you withamazing powers Does he ever
struggle to get?
One-legged off the toilet.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Oh, constantly.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Here's my thought about Superman, and I've said
this to the boy a lot.
And then we saw it happen inThor that there's no reason for
Superman to look buff.
He gets his power from theyellow sun.
He could look like that finalscene in Dodgeball.
Yes, nervous, he could looklike that.
(42:37):
And still, fast as light heatvision, lift a fridge without
popping his knee.
That's true, he doesn't need tobe buff.
No, that's not anyway, I'm justpointing that out.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, but he's sort of buff because he worked on a
farm.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Yeah, but he's not farm buffed.
Farmers don't look as jacked ashim.
They've got that sort of notparticular strength and then
they lift a cow on a fence post.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Have a look at the new guy, because his suit
doesn't.
We're going into too muchdetail, but his suit doesn't
have like muscles in it, likeall the other muscles.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Okay, okay, henry Cavill, bless him had like
muscles and stuff under the suitUnnecessary, I would have
thought.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Yeah, he's got.
Yeah, but this is he looks.
Just you know he's all right.
You know thing that when you goand see a film, whatever it is,
you watch it.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
You sort of get into the character and you walk out
going.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
yeah, that's like you just did then, like he's just
like me.
He's just like me with a cape.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
I saw Mission Impossible and it had a lot of
Tom Cruise running past with hisfingers pointed.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, yeah, and I thought to myself yeah, I
couldn't run like that.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Oh yeah, I actually that, yeah, I can't even
fantasize that much.
All right, that's depressing,that's sad.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
And then I saw Brad Pitt driving fast cars.
Yeah, now what was that like?
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Because I'm going to send the beloved off.
You know cars I don't have anycare for cars, none whatsoever.
But she and her girlfriend,they're right into it.
So I said the two of you shouldgo to Brad Pitt and race cars
with a higher octane soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Yes, it's very much Top Gun with race cars, but
that's actually one of thestrong points of it is that you
do get right into the wholeFormula One world and the cars
and you go, oh okay, and yousort of go there's a lot of cars
a lot of cars but you sort ofget more of an understanding of
it.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Lots of montage yeah well, jan and her love that.
They're all about it and I nah.
They often say that they couldtake my car and just replace it
with any old black car, and ifthey put the presets on the
radio I wouldn't notice, I'djust get in and go.
It's the same.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
That's true, but you might like it because it's
always old and he can't do itanymore.
Yeah, yeah, no, I see whatyou're doing, all right.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Surely you mentioned just before we started this.
You said you broke your ownrule, my own rule, yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
I have a rule with movies is when people say to me
oh, we should go and seewhatever it is.
Yes, it is, yes, Superman.
Oh, we'll go.
I'll go and see that with you,okay, good, all right, or I'll
wait.
No, don't, I'll go and see thatwith you, right?
So my rule is don't do that,just go and see it yourself.
As soon as the movie comes out,go and see it don't wait,
because if you wait, people letyou down every time it's not
(45:19):
that oh, no, no, weak, no, no,and then you miss it or you
spoil it.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
No, I don't care.
That's a very bleak philosophy,I've got to say.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Very bleak.
I'm not going to the movieswith you.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
I want you to understand that, whoever you are
, it doesn't matter, but youwould allow certain people to
come to the movies with you, butyou're not going to go to the
movies with them.
Is that what?
You're saying but that's notwhy I'm going.
Because you're not going towait for them to be ready and
then go with them.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
No, that's what you're telling me.
If you delay me in any way fromgetting to the film, then I
don't, because I just get grumpy.
Then I might be happy.
But for the Jaws 50thanniversary, if I go, I'm going.
If you want to come, if someonewants to come with me, sure,
but don't speak to me and don'tinterrupt me.
Don't bring your laptop.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I mean that does sound like a fun night out.
I'm going to say thoseparameters.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Oh, now I haven't got a listener of the week now and
the music started.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's very late.
You ran off on your film.
Well, have you got one ready?
Speaker 2 (46:26):
No, because no one responded to the Jean-Claude Van
Damme playlist, which meansthat the Steven Seagal playlist
is not going up until I getsomeone positively response.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Well, so they go on Spotify and.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
No, no, they just go to the bio in Instagram.
In the bio is the link.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Oh, okay, so it's a trick to get them to.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
It's said, link in bio.
It's said link in bio.
It's said Anyway.
All right, it's almost like youdon't care.
That's all I'm saying listenersAll right.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
There he goes.
Meanwhile, for the rest of you,one leg in the air.
Try and get off the toilet.
I don't think it's as easy ashe accidents.
I'll know what's happening.
Anyway, it's not important,better go.
That's time you're not going toget back.
