Hello, welcome back to the Team Wing it podcast. I'm your host, dave Morgan, and we're up to episode 8 now. So thanks to those who have stuck around. Any new subscribers, thank you very much. New listeners, thank you very much. Give it a listen. Hopefully you stick around. This is a podcast about not a whole bunch, though I do sort of just talk about random things and I stay away from politics and religion. But everything else is sort of just talk about random things and I stay away from politics and religion, but everything else is sort of mainly it's just me talking about what's happened to me since I spoke to you last. So I do this, I do videos, I do all sorts of stuff. So if you're at all interested, look up Team Wiggett on all the social media, including YouTube, and see what you think.
Speaker 2:Quiet on the set. Can we please have quiet on the set?
Speaker 1:So the last time I spoke to you guys and girls and everyone in between, I don't care what you identify as my girlfriend, leanne, had met the work wife and we went out and double dated with her partner and everyone, and so she actually met someone. Well, since then, we had one of the ladies from my work is leaving, so we had a farewell for her. So now Leanne got thrown in the deep end and met so many more people from my work and so it's good. Now she can actually put names to faces and I can just go okay, this person, this person, this person and yeah, she'll be like okay, yep, yep, yep. Now I know who the hell you're talking about. So it was good. Josh was there too. So Josh, leanne and myself were there, not too many other kids, so poor Josh got a little bored there for a bit, but that was pretty good. I mean, it is what it is. I mean these things, everyone just sort of intermingles, moves around, chats to people. Generally I don't go to these things because, man, I get paid to put up with these people and I choose not to do it for free. But you know what? It was a good group that night. So I guess I can't hold it against them too much.
Speaker 1:It wasn't too bad, go ahead. Go ahead. One, two, three Countdown the last podcast I did. I swore I'd talk about the last BCW show. For those of you that don't know what BCW is, it's Battle Championship Wrestling.
Speaker 1:I referee pro wrestling. I have done for the past 22 years all over the country. Just wherever I'm needed I'd fly around do stupid shit. The problem is the last show was too long ago for me to remember. I can't be bothered looking up things. All I remember is there were some internationals. There was a big hardcore tag match that went all around the building. That was fun. Um, I got damaged ribs through a kick. Um, yeah, all sorts of shenanigans, tomfoolery, this sort of thing that you associate with pro wrestling, but I had a lot of fun with it.
Speaker 1:Now coming up next month July 25th and 26th, if I remember correctly there's a two-night tournament best in battle tournament up at the Whitehorse Club in Burwood. So it's an eight-man tournament over two nights and yeah, so back-to-back wrestling shows for me, and so I need to get fit again because unfortunately it's like two months between shows and if I really, really wanted to, I'd probably go looking for other shows to do in between, just to keep in shape. But who's got time for that? I mean between Josh Leanne and everything else I do, who the hell's got time? But I'm sure, closer to the time, I am going to talk about the upcoming show because two nights the last one last year was a lot of fun tiring, but a lot of fun. So you know what You're going to hear about it and if you don't like wrestling, just skip a couple of minutes. I'm sure the topic has changed again.
Speaker 3:I know I should sleep, but the voices in my head go. I know I should sleep, but the voices in my head go. I know I should sleep, but the voices in my head go. I know I should sleep, but the voices in my head go.
Speaker 1:And now I should speak. Thank you for listening to my head go. I had Josh on the weekend, so I dropped him back at his mum's Monday morning. Monday night I get a phone call from his mum saying Kane, the dog that we bought together 13 and a bit years ago, had just had three seizures in a row. He's 13, he's had the occasional seizure, but yeah, he was having trouble getting up and moving and I thought, uh-oh, this is not looking good for an old dog. So luckily, after about half an hour he managed to get up and go outside, go to the toilet, do all this sort of stuff. But I immediately started thinking the worst. And, uh, the problem is Josh was going to camp the next day, so I didn't want to rush over there and do anything, because the last thing you want to do is take him to an overnight vet came, in this case, not Josh to an overnight vet and not come home with him the next day or that night when Josh has to go to camp the next day. So it's like let's just fucking hold off and just so.
Speaker 1:Yes, last week, yeah, yeah, I was in a bit of a I don't know. Just I was very, very unsettled because of kane. I was very unsettled because josh was away on camp and I think I told you all, uh, we weaned him off his medication for his childhood epilepsy and then after about two, three months he had another seizure. So less than a month back on new medication and he's off at camp and I'm like god damn, between that and the dog. My god, I tried sleeping. There's a very good chance I didn't. I don't remember. I think I may have slept, slept, sleep, walked my way through work. Um, I know it was at Leanne's. Tuesday night I went and caught up with a mate and watched the State of Origin on Wednesday night. Thursday night oh that's right came to the vet and yeah, thank God, the vet said no, no, no, if the seizures increase we'll have to do some more tests and this sort of shit. But other than that, he's actually like his heart know, if the seizures increase we'll have to do some more tests and this sort of shit. But other than that, he's actually like his heart and his lungs are really good for a 13 year old dog and like his back legs are going out a little bit, but he's 13, he's been running after tennis balls and pretty active his whole life. So she goes look, here's some stuff to try. So, yeah, I don't know about it. But you know what? I got a little bit more time with my dog. I'm happy with that, and yeah, then josh came home on friday, so that was good.
Speaker 1:I went and popped around there, saw him. He was so tired, oh my god, that poor kid was knackered apparently. There were a few nights where they barely slept. They were too busy talking, which you know. Kids on camp, of course, that's what they do. So, yes, he was cranky all weekend apparently and he was with his mum. So you know what? I'd love to say something, but not my problem. And yeah, what else? Oh, that's right.
Speaker 4:You can kiss my ass forever. No playing around, no messing around. You can kiss my ass forever. Don't give a damn what you're talking about. You can kiss my ass forever you're trying to clown.
Speaker 1:You get smacked back so the friday night I went to the sookie lounge in belgrave and saw the band Frenzel Rom. They're an Australian punk band. They were celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of their albums called A Man's Not a Camel, and I don't know if any of you know who Frenzel Rom are Probably not Because, let's face it, they weren't major stars. But I loved them, just this crazy Aussie punk band. And they did great songs such as what was it? Russell Crowe's band's a fucking pile of shit. When my Baby Smiles at Me, I Go to Rehab All sorts of fun little titles like that. And yeah, they very rarely made it to mainstream. Can't imagine why, but oh, so much fun and I wasn't the oldest person in the crowd, so that was good. And yeah, just, the Sookie Lounge is a shithole. It is an absolute fucking cesspool. But you know what Didn't really care, I was there for the band, it was fun.
Speaker 2:I just need you to shut the fuck up, because nobody asked you, bitch, I need you to. It was fun.
Speaker 1:So we've come to the end of episode 8 and since I saw Friends of Rom the other night, I'm still on a bit of a high from seeing them. So guess what? That's the song that's going to be played, a song by Friends of Rom called you Can't Move Into my House, and yeah, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Live, it is so cool. But you know what, if you like it cool, look, look up some of their stuff. If not, you just ignore it like most people do. It's all right, I can accept that More of the band for me, I don't give a shit. All right, I will see you next episode. And yeah, it's been very, very close to two weeks since I did the last one, so I'm actually getting better with this fortnightly thing. Hopefully I can sort of stay on track here. We'll see.
Speaker 2:All right, catch you all later. Hope you don't think I'm rude Fuck you. Hope you don't think I'm precious Fuck you. Hope you see I'm well adjusted. I can't stand the sight of you. I don't want to be starting something.
Speaker 3:I don't want to antagonize.
Speaker 2:All I said was something simple I can't stand the sight of you. I can't stand the sight of you. Don't believe, don't believe the words, like don't believe all the things I've heard about you. I will be saying this in your defence I'd rather be the bridge for the buses, and I knew I'd try, but I won't like to see part. All you fail is what I've failed To give a fuck. You're a fucking good joke. You're a clown. Take your pants down, get fucked. You fucking fuck we. You can't move.
Speaker 2:It's my house, with a range of the things that I'm quite perverse. You're sitting in the centre of your own universe. Nothing tends to sit upon the fence. You're falling away during conversations. I've looked into your eyes. You see a haze, a twisted sensibility and a little saving grace.
Speaker 2:You're a fuck up. You're a joke. You're a clown. Take fans down. The fuck. You fucking a joke. You're a clown. Take a man's house, the fuck's your fucking fuck with. You can't live in my house, I believe. I believe the one. I've been blessed and when he's like a Jew To have seen him go, and when he said he wished that you were dead, it was the most intelligent thing that anyone's ever said. I tried with all my might to see past All your filings, but I failed to give a fuck. You're a fuck up. You're a junk. You're a clown. Take your pants down. You're a fuck. You're a fucking fuck. Wait, you can't move. It's my house. You're a fucking bitch. You're a, you're a. You're a. You're a. You're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a. You're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a, you're a.
