Do we care about America? Not sure You're going to have to listen to find out. And then we gave you some cheeky little life updates. We hope you enjoyed today's episode. This is everything's wrong.

Speaker 1:

oh no, sad news, isn't it no?

Speaker 2:

there's no sad news, only good news. There is only good news. Life is a peach and we are living on it. What's been going on with you?

Speaker 1:

Oh, my God. So much, sammy, what's been going on this week. I'm getting ready because I'm going overseas for work, so I'm doing it's works made busy.

Speaker 2:

When do you go?

Speaker 1:

On a Tuesday week, like your last name, sam Weeks. It's Weeks, not Week Weeking. Yeah, it's mid-November, I'm going to fly out and then I'm in Bangkok for two and a half weeks for work. Wow.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that exciting. What are we going to do without you?

Speaker 1:

I mean thrive, okay, or survive Both, yeah, maybe. Yeah, it's really nice. I was only meant to go for. A week and a half is the perfect length for a work trip to like a beautiful city. You get to test it out, do some work.

Speaker 2:

You've been to Bangkok before. I have also for work. Can you go to the market and eat some of the bugs?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I did last time.

Speaker 2:

What'd you eat? I had cricket.

Speaker 1:

Trip, trip.

Speaker 2:

Cricket, that's basically. You want the tarantula, don't you?

Speaker 1:

They taste like yeah, that's why I like them um high in protein as well.

Speaker 2:

They have really big roaches on sticks. I remember I'm gonna.

Speaker 1:

I'll work up to that. Maybe my next work trip I'll do. Can you post it all on?

Speaker 2:

instagram. You should do a um. What was it called um? A travel blog? No, we, someone eats in a huge amount of food. Oh, a mukbang, you should do a mukbang, but just like horrific food. Yeah, that's really good as long as I can vomit in can you vomit in a mukbang, but just like horrific food.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's really good as long as I can vomit in. Can you vomit in a mukbang, or is that not allowed? No, you can.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I saw a really yuck one the other day, just popped up in my feed Because, like when we're in bed, I'll be like scrolling, just looking at reels, and we'll laugh at them and sometimes, because my humor's a bit fucked, it'll come up with something weird this woman eating frogs but like in the weirdest oh my god, not live.

Speaker 1:

No, they're all cooked. Oh awful. I mean good on her if she enjoys the taste. Some people have a really iron stomach.

Speaker 2:

It's just like some of those mukbangs are so like, uh, like, all of the mouth sounds and it's yeah, that's what gets me.

Speaker 1:

I really can't stand that chewing mouth noise. It really sets me up, yeah, for failure. Um, yeah, I, when I travel, when I travel alone, I don't get a lot of pictures, um, and in this case I'm traveling with a group of 32 students and then two full-grown adults. Just get them to take lots of pictures of you and yeah, but the thing is I don't want to say hey, here's my phone, please take a photo of me in this place that's random people.

Speaker 1:

I want no, but I don't want them to do that either. I don't want a posed. My dream in life and all I ever crave is candid hot photos. Annabelle, my housemate takes great candid hot photos where I will have no idea. She's taking a photo until like a day later and she'll be like here's a really hot photo I took of you in secret.

Speaker 2:

What you do when you get to Bangkok is you find a person and you hire them to follow you around. That's a really good idea.

Speaker 1:

No, I know an even better way, because I'm taking students over and they have. I have no power over their grade, but they don't know that. I just say whoever takes the hottest candid photo of me is going to get a full letter bump on the grade.

Speaker 2:

It sounds like you're abusing your power there a bit, andrew.

Speaker 1:

What is power except to be abused? I mean, what's the point of getting it if you're not going to use it? Plus, it's harmless.

Speaker 2:

Never spoken.

Speaker 1:

It's harmless fun. I get a whole bunch of beautiful photos of me. They get well. One of them gets a lot of disappointment and the other ones get nothing. But yeah, I'll go over there and I'll see if I can get some photos. I like to get a couple shots that show that I'm in Bangkok. So people know, you know, you have to know that I'm in Bangkok. So people know, you know, you have to know that I leave the country every once in a while, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And when I see all your food, I really like. I like it. When you send me food pics, yeah, that's what I really like.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I'll try to get the food pics. I can do, though, because I can take the photo of the food pic. I don't need to be in that, yeah, but you can, I'll just put a giant Sam Weeks at Sam Weeks across every story I post with food on it.

Speaker 2:

You can't even see the food.

Speaker 1:

That's the idea. And then I'm going to Jakarta for the first time next year in January.

Speaker 2:

Jakarta's. I've never been, but the food is good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a real melting pot.

Speaker 2:

It seems like that's all I care about when I travel.

Speaker 1:

You're a foodie, you're a good eater. I mean traveling, it's that and like culture, but that's also for work. I love traveling for work because everything's paid for, everyone's always like. It's so much work, it's so difficult and it is more work when you're over there than when you're in australia. But if someone said to you you do 20 more work every single day and you can do it from any country in the world, I guarantee you most people would be like, yes, I'm in.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I need to travel soon. You're traveling soon, aren't you?

Speaker 1:

Are you planning something?

Speaker 2:

for next year, february that's the plan, and then maybe July as well.

Speaker 1:

Maybe I'll join you. It's a honeymoon, isn't it? I want to go to Europe. Oh, I thought you were going South America, yeah.

Speaker 2:

We're going to go to.

Speaker 1:

Europe as well. Big break, that's very exciting. What have?

Speaker 2:

I lost track of what day it was last week because of the event we had on Thursday night.

Speaker 1:

Tell us about the event, Sammy.

Speaker 2:

It was very good. We were doing warehouse jazz live music, dj music with the record label that Connor and I started and a friend's record label, strange Cadence, and CD Discs and it went really well. So there were lots of people there, which is what you want when you put on an event Bums in seats is exactly right and you're also putting on another event next week if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 1:

Every two weeks for the next eight. Maybe you're in Sydney. Do hit Sam or myself up. I can pass the details on Sam's probably the better one to ask.

Speaker 2:

Location TBA.

Speaker 1:

And it's.

Speaker 2:

BYO and tickets are only $20. You can come see live music for 20 bucks, sit down, see great musicians play stuff and also very handpicked DJs by us. Curated, very curated evening. Chloe's doing lights. It's a real family affair, you know.

Speaker 1:

That's what you want. You know me familiar, as they say.

Speaker 2:

But also on top of that, because I've been so busy and so stressed, which is probably what we're going to talk about. But I think we should probably play a song. I don't have spotify anymore a sung song it's.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, maybe should we just sing a song the wheels on the bus go Round and round. They don't Round and round.

Speaker 2:

It's a bit of a throwback. You know this song, do I? You'd wait it out if you didn't know this song. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

What, andrew, I'm piecing it together. Gosh, what Andrew, I'm piecing it together. Everyone knows this song, every single person on the planet Earth knows this song. Maybe they don't know the lead-in for this song.

Speaker 2:

Maybe I should have played YMCA, because Donald Trump's now president and that's what he's been doing on this.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. Yeah, that's an homage. We're going to try to get him on the podcast Is.

Speaker 2:

YMCA about gay bathhouses.

Speaker 1:

No, it's a genuine song, just about the young men's. Whatever that fitness club. Okay, but gays picked it up because the lyrics are very gay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay right Party time.

Speaker 1:

Welcome welcome.

Speaker 2:

Welcome, episode number 199, I think 93, 93,. Wow, okay, cool, nice. Thanks for checking me. Welcome to First Time Luster. Sixth Time Luster, third, fourth, fifth. You guys hear us every week. We love you the most actually.

Speaker 1:

I'm actually. I don't just love you, I'm in love it. Third, fourth, fifth, you guys who listen every week.

Speaker 2:

We love you the most. Actually. I'm actually. I don't just love you, I'm in love with you. Yeah, he knows who you are and he loves you.

Speaker 1:

He's in love with you.

Speaker 2:

Personally, you know this song you don't what's it called.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, I do know this part there's little trumpets.

Speaker 2:

It's a classic um, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, stressed, uh, well, I guess not stressed. I get, I don't really get stressed, but I just like I forget. Maybe it is stress, I think, like a um, uh, a side effect of me being stressed, but maybe it's not a side effect because I don't feel the stress, or maybe it's just like a reaction to the stress. Is that like I just like kind of stopped taking care of myself in certain aspects? I just like mostly it's just like I eat like shit and I don't sleep very well.

Speaker 1:

Very, very common um side effects of stress. You say I don't feel stress, but you're identifying that you have been stressed. How have you identified your stress?

Speaker 2:

is it by these bad habits? I think that's. I think that's what it is. Yeah, but yeah, I I don't know if it is stress, but I think it's just like it feels like I have a lot to do, so everything feels very rushed and I think about things a lot more. Maybe that's what stress is.

Speaker 1:

It might be what stress is um. This could be a good lesson in getting in touch with your own emotions. You should you should be feeling it like if you're stressed. If you're saying you're stressed and it's affecting your life, but you actually can't identify the stress in yourself, then there's a bridge, I think, to gap yeah a gap to bridge whatever yeah, um yeah a bridge to gap gap to bridge yeah, there's a, there's a ravine, and it needs to have a road over it a rope a big rope bridge.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, um, and you need to build that rope bridge. But back onto the stress. What's? What's causing it? Have you got a lot?

Speaker 2:

I think I've just been really, really busy and I've had a lot on um, a lot of toing and prying and I don't really think about the things that I usually do, but also, um so yeah, like just sort of eating whatever, um not drinking enough water, doing that stuff, and I like the last couple of weeks I'm like I have actually felt like shit, um so, and also drinking more, like I've been drinking a little bit more, so I've, as of sort of the last week, like post the gig, I've been like okay, let's get back to normal, sam, still have these things going on, because I find that having um, all of the stuff, like when I eat better, when I sleep better, I generally feel better. It's just like layering in these new things that I have to adapt to now.

Speaker 1:

It is a bit of a chicken and egg thing though.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

You know, if you start eating worse because you're feeling stressed out, are you feeling bad from the stress or are you feeling bad from the eating? It could be both. That's probably. If you start eating well, does the stress dissipate. It's a magic pill, you know? Do you find that you're because you're quite I I feel when you, you know when you want to do something, you do something. Do you find these lapses, uh, regular parts of a cycle in Sam, or are they anomalous? Are there something that comes up at a random so you know it can go? You know it might be three months between times that you lapse, or it could be three years.

Speaker 2:

I think it's like an adaptive thing, like it because it's, and I just have to go. Okay, maybe the first week or two of this new thing that's been introduced to me, which at the moment is usually something that ends up me being up very late at night how do I have normal life around that? So the first week kind of goes out the window, and then I'm like, oh, I can maybe not do it like that. Yeah, does that make sense.

Speaker 1:

Back to my question is do you find it's a normal cyclical thing as part of SEM? Because for myself, I am sometimes very good with myself and sometimes very bad, and I find that it just ebbs and flows, naturally, that sometimes it's to do with stress, sometimes it's just a lap, sometimes I'm just not holding onto the handlebars as tightly as I usually could and so I'm very prescient that the cycle will flip at some point and I'll move back into healthy. I'm not sitting there being like I need to. I need to get on it now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Is that something that resonates? Is that something that happens with you?

Speaker 2:

I think, I think you're kind of right in that regard, like I kind of, yeah, I just need to. I'm not going to say get up on that horse, because it wasn't necessarily a horse that I fell off of. I just sort of it was a penny farthing. Yeah, exactly, I was doing what I was doing because of the things we're doing, if that makes sense, and now I just need to. Could you be more specific?

Speaker 1:

What are the things you're doing.

Speaker 2:

Just all of the stuff that was making me, I don't know um behave in a certain way. Um, but an example of what's the stuff, is it? So? Let's say, we've got the new gig, that's happened.

Speaker 2:

I also had like two, two dj gigs that same weekend it was just a lot of late nights and I just like basically felt like I didn't have time yeah, which is very fair, and also wait. Let's add another thing it was like my first week of teaching like way more spin classes, which I'm going to be doing consistently from now on and also I mean it's not just you that's in your family unit, you're, you're married and I know chloe has got a lot on right now chloe's got heaps on yeah, so this support network that you guys would normally have to back off each other, you're now having to really like you're just, you're just maintaining your own space.

Speaker 1:

And so there's extra pressures that come along with not being able to. You're not seeing her as often now because you're both working so much in so many different places. I can understand why that happens, but it does go to the core of like when you try to set a healthy goal. If you try to, even if you're dieting maybe dieting is not the best thing in the world but if you've decided to stick to a diet and you lapse, that's not the end of the diet. That's not you've fucked up and you've lapsed. That's just part of a diet cycle. Is that you're going to come off it a little bit?

Speaker 2:

part of it let's not maybe not use the word diet, but, yeah, like part of a healthy change. You know there are going to be these things that come your way, that will. You know, for lack of a better term, you might perceive them as fucking things up, but it's actually not. It's all part of the process of change and you don't. It's not like immediately, which is what, like I was thinking which is why I thought this would be a cool thing to talk about of like immediately returning to very strict, rigid eating, all that stuff. It's not about that. It's about finding a nice little balance in which you feel like you're not super stressed because, like, changing the way you eat and trying to get all these exercises and exercising around what the new stuff is might make the situation even more stressful.

Speaker 1:

So it's actually about managing and that effectively yeah, yeah, when I first started working out with you, I did one session with you and after that one session I was obviously caned, I was on the but I left that and I was like, amazing, I'm going to book in with three a week with you. And you said don't do that, that is fucking stupid, pull back. And I started out on one a week and then we kind of worked me up to three and then, when it was probably maybe six months after, I was up to three sessions a week working out between you and the gym and also I was doing a protein shake every single day and I was eating three meals every single day and in my mind I was like I have to do this, these three have to happen every single week. Uh, the protein shake has to happen every single day and I have to eat three meals every single day. And when I wouldn't get my protein shake, I would get real antsy.

Speaker 1:

If I was out drinking with friends, I would get real freaked out and I'd be like I need to get home, I need to drink this protein shake, which is crazy, it's very wild, that is stupid. But it was really important to me. And then slowly I don't know. I've leaned off that. So now, if I'm not going three times a week, I'm not stressing, I'm not being like I need to pack it in. I need to pack it in. And you know, when I go away to Bangkok, I'm going to be there for two and a half weeks, I weeks. I can tell myself now I'll do three days a week when I'm there. I will bet you money, I will not. I may get one or two sessions over the entire two and a half weeks and that's fine.

Speaker 1:

That's not my fight to fight um, because it's part of the cycle. I've worked out really consistently and well before that my body is not going to completely shrink down to a little tiny waif again in those two and a half weeks and when I come back I'll keep working out.

Speaker 2:

So it takes about two and a half weeks to shrink to a tiny way.

Speaker 1:

That's right very careful, that's right, I gotta be very careful.

Speaker 2:

I'm just gonna be a slight breeze is gonna blow me away but turn into a prawn, a tiny little little prawn cracker just a prawn just a little a wafer, um, but yeah, so I I think it's.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it's obviously not good if you feel like you're you're failing yourself or you've got these bad habits or whatever, but it is a very natural part of any good habit. Give yourself a break sometimes as well Be disgusting. Go to that orgy. Don't use a condom Just every once in a while. You know it's not a big deal.

Speaker 2:

That is not the advice of the Well Basically podcast.

Speaker 1:

Please practice safe sex. It is my advice. It's my advice Safe sex is for losers.

Speaker 2:

Do you? I mean, that was a good jump off. Do you want to talk about the election or not at all? You don't really care?

Speaker 1:

I don't really care. Can we talk about how much?

Speaker 2:

you don't care, cause I've been, so I haven't been this focused on something that like probably won't affect me directly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I just for me. You know, I like. I like going on the embassy and reading the news every day, the world news section. They highlight five stories every single day and they change them through the day. Four of the five have been about this, this election, this wretched election of a whole different country, as if donald trump is going to waltz over to australia and start offing every minority in this country.

Speaker 1:

Here it's not, I'm sorry, that's not going to happen. And everyone at work is wrapped up in it. And everyone at work has got their theory on why the Democrats have done this or why the Republicans have done this. And everyone entered the office yesterday and said, ooh, it's just the red mirage, it's just the red mirage. And I said every pundit in America, every betting website, has got Trump to win. This is, I'm sorry, not going to be a mirage. He's probably going to take it out. And they're like, oh, but the Democrats have done this. And this happened with Kamala Harris. And I'm like you can't care this much. You can't possibly, you don't care about Australian politics this much. And you are sitting here being like, wow, I know the 65th congressional district of this, but fuck nothing state in america.

Speaker 2:

It's insane well, it's donald trump's a celebrity.

Speaker 1:

I think that's why people are like so attached I also think people see him as um like the learned version of the antichrist. You know, every time a democratic president gets elected, the christian middle of america goes this one's the antichrist, he's gonna lead us down into hell. And then every time a republican president gets elected, they go this guy's a Antichrist, he's going to lead us down into hell. And then every time a Republican president gets elected, they go this guy's a desperate, he's going to bring us into authoritarianism. And unfortunately, trump had four years to do that and he didn't do it. He's going to have another four years to try. If he's trying to do that, I doubt he's going to do it.

Speaker 2:

A bit different. I will link you.

Speaker 1:

Can you link our, our listeners to the Vox video? Get it over. Sveti will put it into the description. And then, yeah, it just seizes me up that everyone thinks that this is the end of the world. And it probably is not going to be the end of the world, hopefully not. But also, how is he that much worse than all the Democratic presidents, all Republican presidents who have existed before, even Biden? What good has he done materially for the American people? It's why they are not successful. It's because you know it was said right when it was there's so many reasons that trump won. Everyone wants to pinpoint it to one thing a certain group of people have lobbied in a certain way. Whatever, there are a million different reasons why trump won this election and it all comes down to the whims of the working class, the biggest voting base in america. Maybe they've been lied to, but I feel like over the last 50 years, all they've been is lied to. After that rant, you can see how much I don't care.

Speaker 2:

Of course, yeah, naturally, but he's also very memeable and I think that played very well into his favor oh yeah, oh yeah, I think he was funnier in the 2016 campaign.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think the thing that like the one thing that really fucks me up about him is and like it's funny, but it's also like just bizarre. It's like he says shit and people are like I can't believe he said this, and then like people who are with him, like other republicans or elon musk, would come back and say, oh no, he actually yes, this is what he made, yeah like fucking, really. That's like. Why couldn't he just say that you know?

Speaker 1:

mormonism. How the guy I can't remember his name, who did he like read the text and in like divined what god meant. That's kind of like trump. He just says absolutely everything and then all the people around him are like and we, we're going to take that Bible passage and that Bible passage and this one over here and if we plug them together it actually makes a really good argument. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. The most interesting will be at the end of his presidency, when he's rolling out, because that was the real gunpowder.

Speaker 2:

I was like, I was like.

Speaker 1:

I was kind of interested to see what would happen if he lost.

Speaker 2:

That would have been.

Speaker 1:

He would have. Well, first of all, he did it this time and it obviously blew over a bit because he ended up winning, but he called the election really really early for himself. Anyway, very intense. We'll see how it goes. I could eat crow on this and we could have a completely despotic leader run America into the ground over the next four years. I feel like the bend of American politics has been bending that way for a very long time, before Trump. Anyway, they haven't done anything materially good for their people. They have done nothing but warmonger globally. It's a corporately owned nation, so it's not really shocking that someone that runs on the platform of I'm going to drain the swamp is an incredibly successful and resonating character.

Speaker 2:

I also. The thing that I find really tricky with him is that, um, he says some pretty fucked up shit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely. He is wretched as a man, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But it's like it gives justification for the people who voted for him and the people in America to be more outspoken about being shit. So that is my main fear that there are just going to be more shitty people feeling more comfortable about being shitty.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I agree. I think he does give a platform to to really awful opinions and he platforms people with even worse opinions than himself. You do have to wonder that if all it took with these people to see someone say something awful to a minority to make them also say awful things to a minority that they're not already out there. You know he didn't create these people, I know.

Speaker 2:

But I feel like it becomes less malign. That's the word I'm looking for it becomes more, you know acceptable in your face and acceptable, which I agree that is a negative um, it is an ideal.

Speaker 1:

It is an ideal. I feel like the the democrats could have won if they'd done any even slightly. Centrist policy piece oh my god given a bone to the leftists completely, instead of saying you have to vote for us because what's your other option? Jill Stein, yeah. You're going to put your vote in for Jill Stein. There's three million votes for Jill Stein and everyone was like she lost us the election. They split the democratic vote.

Speaker 2:

It's like Kamala lost by a lot more than that Way more yeah.

Speaker 1:

Um, yeah, it's not my politics. I feel for my American friends and family.

Speaker 2:

This is the only time we've ever talked about politics on the podcast. I hate it.

Speaker 1:

I absolutely hate it, so do.

Speaker 2:

I, but it's like it's the only thing I'm invested in. Even last weekend, when I was DJing at a bar, I was having a break and an American guy came up and started talking to me it's from California and I just started talking about politics. I'm like, oh my God, never, ever do this because, like in australia, I can't vote, so I know nothing about australian politics. I don't live in new zealand, so I don't really care, um, so this is the one time actually in my whole life really, that I feel like I've, um, really got stuck into something that doesn't even really matter it does not to us.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I just. The way I look at politics, even australian politics, it's just. I'm strapped to this rocket and one person on one side is saying, hey, I'm gonna crash you into the sun, and the other person on the other side says, hey, don't worry about him, I'm gonna crash you into a planet, and I'm sitting there being like I die either way, like we are going in the wrong direction for both of these. But what if the other and I can't? I can't move the rocket. I might, what? I'm gonna vote, the rocket doesn't care, I'm one of millions. Oh god, no, let's not get into this. What do you mean? That you think your vote matters?

Speaker 1:

it's crazy, oh my god it's such a stupid thought that your individual vote is gonna make some difference in the world. Everyone in america been like get out and vote to one single person, as if the giant ocean that they're throwing their single thimble of water into I.

Speaker 2:

I know why we didn't talk about politics.

Speaker 1:

Now let's move on. I got a lot more to say. Hey, do you want some some fun? Positive news yeah, sure, I've joined a five-a-side soccer team. Wow, I haven't played team sports, honestly in decades.

Speaker 1:

So I know you did it a couple of weeks ago and now you're a consistent team yeah, I couldn't do it last week because I was at the symphony, yeah, um, uh, but this week I went, so last night I went and we played score a goal. Uh, no, that is a long way off. I think I barely touched the ball, although I got my first header yesterday, bounce the ball off my head, wow. And it didn't go out off it either, which is, I think, very impressive it was actually really funny.

Speaker 2:

It's clear that you're new to football when you say you said header and then I bounce the ball off my head straight after.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I had to clear it up. What if someone is listening that has never played soccer before? I'm a master at soccer, so I know what a header is. What position are you playing Right now? As much fullback as I possibly can, yeah, but I try to get into it a bit.

Speaker 2:

If someone wants to go fullback, you know, it's just it's good for me because I can really directional lunges for you, andrew.

Speaker 1:

I can body block uh, people, quite well, because I'm quite, you're a big big, it's a division c or division three, it's like the third lowest division, it's the sorry, it's the lowest division of all of them. No, I like it because it's a social game and it's five aside, so it's a small field. And it's division c, so there's no pressure to do well. But it's also mixed gender, which means that I need to be very careful with how I bandy my body around on this, because, if you know, two of us run into each other and it's both of our fault, but one of them is a beautiful and petite lady and one of them is galumphing huge me and she goes flying. It doesn't really matter if it's both of our fault that we hit each other, because it's going to look like she's come off a lot worse and I've, like, used my my weight, so I have to be a little twinkle toes on the field.

Speaker 2:

Um, easy for you but I reckon I yeah exactly yeah, my little flouncy wrists.

Speaker 1:

It's amazing. I just have to be careful I don't hit the ball with my hand when I'm trying to flick my hand, um, but uh, I am learning right now what I can do. I can't dri dribble. That is going to be a long way. I can't dribble. It's really easy. Sorry, I could do it if there wasn't all these other people trying to take the ball off me. I reckon I could comfortably dribble, but I just get too panicked and so I can do a big kick, and I did the header, which was really funny.

Speaker 2:

It's a good position.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, got kicked over people. And then this guy headed it and it went straight up and it was coming to me and I was like I could stop this at my feet and then kick it somewhere useful. But I was like, no, I want to do a header. And so then I bounced it up again and everyone was like, because it was just a fun, stupid game of us bouncing the ball back to each other. Yeah, um, so that's been fun. I also haven't played soccer in about 20 years, so it has been. It was a real um.

Speaker 1:

I was really nervous before the first time I went. I was like in my room lamenting to Connor. I was like I really don't want to go. I'm like stressed, I wish I'd never signed up. I was so scared and he was, as a good father said to me I mean, he's not really my father, but kind of. Uh, he said to me go and you'll have fun. Yeah, that was really fun. Otherwise, um, fun life updates. I'm back on grinder. I took a little um sojourn from it, um, and I'm back on now.

Speaker 1:

Uh, and it's now not as I'm not as in it, you know, does that make sense, I think I quit it last time Cause I was like open grinder, but now I'm Only when you're horny, yeah, exactly Looking to suck and fuck. So I'm back on that. And then also I'm back on vaping, which is, I would say, a lapse, like you were talking about before. But we go through it, it's true.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

It's green though, much like the, I'm about to do something. I've got some, got some Chinese broccoli downstairs Trying to think of what to do with it.
