Welcome everyone to the worst podcast ever.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

Hey, buddy, I'm not paying you to hear your thoughts on life. Well, I have a microphone, and you don't.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

So you will listen to every damn word I have to say. Now go show em what happens when Gen X rolls out of them with a purpose.

Life Balance And Creative Gaps

SPEAKER_06 0:55

Why, hello there. It's me, Dave Morgan, and you are listening to the Team Wing It podcast. Now we are up to episode twenty-one now. The third of this year. So I'm averaging now one a month. I was hoping for one a fortnight, so I've already fallen behind in that department. Oh my goodness gracious mate. I've even done a video which I did the other week. Finally got around to it. And um yeah, that took a little while, and that was the first one I'd done since November. What can I say? Life is getting in the way, and I am going to try to get back to this, but oh god, there's only so many hours in the day, and there's only so many hours I feel like spending in front of a computer instead of going out and enjoying myself and enjoying life and you know, a life. One of those things that I used to have and then shit happens and and now I'm happy to say I have a life back and I'm thoroughly fucking enjoying myself.

You do not throw rocks at a man who's got a machine gun!

Josh’s School Camp And Reunion

Parenting Joys And Frustrations

SPEAKER_06 1:55

So what's been going on? Let me tell you, a couple of weeks ago, um Josh went on school camp. It was like the second or no third week of high school. Yes, they all went on camp down to Phillip Island for two nights? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So yeah, two nights. And um Yeah, then unfortunately that is the week that I have Josh for two nights, which is Wednesday, Thursday. So I didn't get to see my buddy for almost a full week. But between Leanne and myself, we had this idea that um why don't I go to the school when the bus rocks up on the Friday and just see him for a little bit before he goes back to his mum's place for the weekend. And so yeah, I did. And as soon as he saw me, he ran and just fucking crash tackled me. He was so excited to see me too. And his mum was very confused as to why I was there. And Josh is like, Well, he couldn't be here Wednesday morning for the drop-off. I knew he'd be here today. So Josh knew I wanted to see him. He missed me, I missed him. Otherwise it would have been like a Monday to Monday that I wouldn't have seen him and yeah, I just I'd he still likes hanging out with me, so you know what? It's still good. And um, yeah. As much as I hate to say it, I miss that little guy when he's not here. Sure, he's frustrating as hell, and sometimes I let us throw him at a wall. But you know what, it's illegal, it's frowned upon, you're not allowed to do it, or you're not allowed to get caught doing it. One of the two. So until the day comes when there's more of that than the good times, nah, he's still a good kid. And um yeah, I was very happy to see him come back. And so ever since then, it's all been good, because yes, he's been telling me about high school, and I will get him on again and see if his opinion of high school has changed and everything. And um yeah. I guess let's move on, shall we?

Valentine’s Traditions And A Do-Over

SPEAKER_01 3:55

They say you shouldn't blow your own horn, don't they say that? Why not? Who better knows to do now? It's nice to be me, you know that. It's nice to be me.

SPEAKER_06 4:03

Right, oh, next up was Valentine's Day weekend, which was Friday the thirteenth, which I'm lucky for some, but Leanne and I always seem to have good luck. And um so on the Friday we went out to a Kami's because our Valentine's tradition is we go out to a Kami either the day before Valentine's Day or the day after Valentine's Day. Because our Valentine's Day dinner, which we started this tradition last year, our first Valentine's Day. I said, What do you want to do? 'Cause I was preparing to cook and do all the things and she answered with cheating bacon toasties? Holy shit. I couldn't love her more at that point. It's like there's cheese? There's bacon. Oh my god, this is the girl for me. That is all I need in life. Shit movies or TV shows on TV, cheating bacon toasties. We had it made Valentine's Day. Um what else did we do? Akami's Friday night. I can't remember if we did a bunnings trip because a lot of our weekends we tend to have a bunnings trip and we find weird and wonderful shit. Or we need stuff for plants and stuff since we're both plant people now, I guess. And um Yeah. Well it was good. We both had shit going on, so it wasn't to the epic sort of standard I'd tried to make it last year. So we decided we are going to redo Valentine's Day in March this month. So Friday, the thirteenth of March, 14th, and 15th, the Sunday, we're gonna do a r a do-over of Valentine's Day. And um hopefully life doesn't get in the way, and hopefully we can just do better. Who knows? Not that it was really bad, it was actually pretty cool. But we both just got a little distracted by things. And um, yeah. So let's see how this goes, shall we? I'll keep you updated. And remember, March 14th is a very special day.

SPEAKER_05 6:14

What the fan of big is idiots! They don't rule the day they f with Danhausen. He will take Dan and shove it up and says, This is bogus! Davis, you will not trust Danhausen! You will fail you f idiots!

Danhausen’s WWE Debut Reactions

Refereeing Chaos And Longevity Goals

SPEAKER_06 6:41

Thank you for that, Danhausen. Much appreciated. Now, speaking of Danhausen, a wrestler that Josh and I met last year, he made his debut in the WWE today at um I don't know what was the event called, Elimination Chamber. I generally don't watch a lot of wrestling these days, but I heard he was debuting or there was rumour going around, so I had to check that out. And to tell you the truth, the unveiling because he came out of a box and all this, it was a little underwhelming considering the Danhausen character I know, but let's see where this goes. Now, talking about wrestling, and I'll keep it brief because I know not a lot of my friends like wrestling. I refereed a show on Friday night, BCW Battle Championship Wrestling, and that was a lot of fun. I was the only referee again, lots of matches, lots of chaos. Um I danced in the ring, um, I just had fun again, so you know. Life goes on, I continue refereeing. I think I've told you all before. I at least plan to keep refereeing until I'm 50. At that point, I would have been doing it 25 years, so half of my life. And um, yeah, I don't know if that's an achievement or not, but hey, I think it's pretty funny.

Perspective Check And Empathy

SPEAKER_03 7:56

You say, look at mankind, I don't even know if he feels pain or or maybe maybe he likes pain. Let me ask you a couple of questions. What is it about pain that I love? You see, I feel just like every other person! You see that? It hurts! Is it when I can't get up? When my little boy says, Daddy, I want to play ball, and I can't do it? Is that where the fun starts? Is it where a doctor injects a 12-inch needle into the discs in my spine so I can wrestle one more day? Whoopi! Let the party begin!

SPEAKER_06 8:32

So one thing I have thought about in the last week or two, you know what? As much as I bitch and moan sometimes about things, life could be so much goddamn worse. Right now, an old high school mate of mine, his house burnt down. And um yeah, unfortunately he was not insured, so I don't know what's gonna happen. I fell for the guy, I have reached out and said, Look, dude, if there's anything I can do, but yeah, I mean when it comes to that sort of thing, yeah, I don't I There's only so much you can say, really. I know someone with a sick dog who's been back and forth to the vet. It costs hundreds of dollars. You know what? When you think about people like this and going through their shit, my life isn't that bad. So I will try to stop bitching a moment. There are times when I do get annoyed at things, and to tell you the truth, my ex-wife and to her I say, if you ever hear this, fuck you in this lifetime and the next. But you know what, in the grand scheme of things, it's not that bad. My life could be a whole lot worse. And um, yeah. I do feel for other people and I do have empathy for them. So I will try to remember that next time I decide to go on a bit of a rant and carry on, and you know what?

SPEAKER_00 10:04

Life isn't that bad at all. Have you ever been uh treated or have you ever been uh diagnosed with a multiple personality disorder?

SPEAKER_04 10:16

You know, I I thought we'd we talked about this when I said I don't believe in doctors. I believe in the body's ability to heal itself. There's something wrong with my mind. I think I'd be the first one to know.

SPEAKER_06 10:31

So we have come to the end of this, and you know what? I was gonna do another shit house uh uh what was it? Nothing short of shit house FM, but I forgot all about it, so I don't have anyone I can call, I can't find a friend, I can't do any of that normal jazz, so I will do it next time. And um, yeah, thanks for listening. And um just because I'm on a bit of a downhouse kick at the moment because of his debut, you know what, we're gonna finish off with a little bit of his new entrance music because I like it, it's grown on me, so you can just stop here if you want. No offense taken, but Danhausen, now a WWE superstar. Here we go.
