SPEAKER_01 0:00

We're on. Tate is back. Tate is back in the Western Australia.

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Hello, folks. It's it's good to be back. It's been nice, yeah. It's been a short stay. Certainly I leave tomorrow, but we've only been here for well me. I've only been here for two weeks.

SPEAKER_01 0:14

Two weeks. Yeah. Two weeks of gigging and enjoying the Western Australian weather.

SPEAKER_00 0:20

Back sleeping on Todd's couch for two weeks. Yeah. How's your back feeling? It's getting a bit tight. Yeah, I am glad that I am shooting off soon, but um no, it's been good.

SPEAKER_01 0:31

Came over, did you ticked off the final pro room of Western Australia? That was cool.

SPEAKER_00 0:36

We knew that would happen, though. I did. Um Oasis last Saturday. And that was really fun. So had a good gig there. Yeah. Had a gig last night with you. Yes. Um, which was a bit of a tough one. Yeah, it was a bit of a tough one, wasn't it? Big crowd, but tough room.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:53

Which is not usually how it goes. Not in that one, no. No, it was very strange.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:58

Oh well. Fuck it. It it it happens.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Uh I'm glad you did Oasis, though. Sorry to interrupt. I'm so so glad that you did Oasis because I have talked about that room quite a lot because I really, really do like it. It's such a great fucking everything, the setup is great. That room smashes it with like a hundred people or twenty people.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

I could imagine that it's just perfect for comedy.

SPEAKER_01 1:21

It is.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

And it's weird, like I don't know, they just felt so loud. Like I came from doing a little bit of a.

SPEAKER_01 1:28

Because of the space and the acoustics. Like it's it is perfect. You some rooms, like the ceilings are just so fucking high, everything gets lost. Some rooms there's just too much other shit going on. Like at Oasis, there's nothing else for them to do. There isn't a bar in there, there's no, there's nothing else. It's just seats and stage, and that is exactly how I want it. Yeah. Because even there's no there's no aisles. So when people want to leave, like if they're sat a little bit further down the line, which statistically, like you know, 30 to 40 percent of them are going to be. If they want to go, if they think to themselves, like, oh, I might get a drink, okay? I'm not in it, I'm not getting in the way of these people. I'll just wait. It's another 20 minutes, I'll wait till the half.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

Yeah, it's it's just perfect.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

So good.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

And it's one of those things, like you know, for some of the people who listen to this podcast, uh fellow comics, uh thinking about getting into comedy or just like comedy in general. Things you you do pick up on when you do a lot of stand-up is how the layouts of rooms.

SPEAKER_01 2:23

You accidentally pick it up, don't you? It's like I I think that over the years now, I've like I've I don't run gigs or anything, but I think it would be half decent just because of the things that you walk into a room and you go, like, all right, this thing is good and this thing is not good, and this might be a thing that's gonna hinder us, so we've got to change it.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

It's little things from seating.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:44

Like seating is such a huge thing.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

That's the thing, it's not even a little thing. Yeah. We say like little things like lighting, little things, like, but they're all they're all big components. And then if if it's not all fucking perfect, it can really yeah, it can go perfect real quick.

SPEAKER_00 3:01

The last bit of organizing a comedy night, you're like, I want to make sure the acts are really, really solid, this, that, run time, blah, blah, blah, location, all this stuff. And then, as we were spok speaking about it recently, if you have uncomfortable chairs and people are just like squirming and they're uncomfortable, like, when is this over?

SPEAKER_01 3:20

You know, that sort of thing. Constant clock watching because you're in these shitty chairs.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

And I I was in the comedy store in LA just watching back in 2019, and my mate who's six foot four, and we were on these metal chairs, and he just couldn't get comfortable because he had someone so close to him on both sides, he just couldn't move and stuff of that. And he was just like, I could tell that he was like wanted to leave.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

And then that was the first time we had done that, and he was just like, I can't, I can't do that again. Like, we have to either spend more money and get better seats, yeah, or uh actively say to them, I have to sit on the the the aisle because I just can't do it. And I was like, fair enough, I don't, you know, I'm only five foot two, so I don't have those issues. Um, but it was uh yeah. Going back to ISIS, glad that I did it, ticked it off.

SPEAKER_01 4:10

I need people to know that you're not five foot two because the people are gonna watch this thinking. Look at this little screen.

SPEAKER_00 4:16

There's a tiny little man. Yeah, I'm five four. It's just so funny. I think one of those things I guess because I'm not short and I'm not tall.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

You're the same as me. I'm just like just the average height. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:28

Are we the same height? Uh I'm like 5'11.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

I think I am.

SPEAKER_00 4:32

I think I'm roughly. And then when I put shoes on, I guess it probably puts me to six foot.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

I think I'm the same.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

So it's not a I I like my height. I don't I'm not uncomfortable, I'm not short. I never have women being like, man, he's too short. Yeah. His dick is, but the overall length of me is not too bad. But I I've we we do um comedy with people that have mentioned it before and won't go into their names, but they've mentioned about dating and stuff about height.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

Yeah, like Roz. That was the one.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

Yeah, he's mentioned about in the past being like, I'd love to date that girl, but she's you know, she's way taller than me. Yeah, um, because he is four foot eleven.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Um a friend of mine is like, I think he's about 5'1 or 5'2, and he was like, I don't mind dating taller women. I was like, can't you don't have a choice? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Yeah, I don't remember one of my mates who's a good-looking rooster, Casey, um, and he sent a actually a voice note for us a while ago. And um, I was setting up his Tinder one day, watching TV, and uh I was setting it up and he's Why were you doing it? Uh I wanted to see what matches he could get. Did he know you were doing it? Yeah, I was next to him. I had his phone and I was just doing it. And um fuck, the thing nearly blew up once I started. It was so demoralizing. Like every map, every chick, it was just yes, yes, yes. Yeah, he's just a good looking rooster, Australian in Vancouver and Canada and stuff. And uh he goes to me, I was like, what about this chick? And he was like, nah. I'm like, what about this one? Nah, what about this one? Nah. I was like, okay. I was he goes, looks at me weird and goes, What's your type? And I went, Type. Type. You think I have a type? I have anyone who says yes, like the fuck out of here. And he was just he burst into laughter like it was the funniest thing in the world. And I was dead serious. Yeah, like a type is for a person who has options, really.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

You have you have a thing that you're more attracted to than not.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Yeah, I get, but it's not a specific, you know, like I wouldn't there's no hair colour, there's no eye colour, there's no you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:41

Yeah, but there will be a a certain like look saying that you don't want to uh date a fat chick. Oh no, no, no, I totally is not a type. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:50

Oh well, no, it kind of is. Is it yeah, no, it kind of is. It kind of is.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

I mean black dudes love fat chicks, apparently.

SPEAKER_01 6:57

I just think that yeah, because I I know what you mean about like not because my I don't necessarily have a type. I think the people that I've been attracted to over the years have not really had a great deal in common physically, I don't think. Because I think that lots of different things are really attractive in people.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Yeah, my dick. No, no, but I I I guess it is also like I I guess when you get a little bit older too, you just sort of like I said this once to a girl and she was scoffed at it. I was like, Yeah, you really want to be able to like talk to your partner and like be on the same wavelength, and she was like, Yeah, no shit. And I was like, Well, I've got a big contingency of my friends who are just dating the hot chick. Yeah, and she was like, What do you mean? And I was just like, They're fucking hot, so they'll put up with their shit, yeah, because they're hot, and that she was blown away by it. And I'm like, I mean, you've had two failed marriages, you probably should figure this out by now.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

My friend went out with the worst human being I've ever met because she was really attractive, yeah, and hateable instantly as well. Like if you only ever saw the photo of her, you're like, Oh yeah, she's gorgeous, and then you meet her and you go, like, fucking hell, why? This is a horrible human.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

So there was an attractive girl at um the Fed last night, and the first thing she when she sat said when she sat down was Ugh, I don't like this chair. And then I was like, Oh, she's gonna be a massive cunt, and then proceeded to record someone's set, and then she was listening to it as listening to it as something else is going on in the world. Brian Shields was on, and it was a very specific part in the night when someone squealed, yeah, and she kept on listening to it. She did it like four or five times. Me and John Wing are looking at each other like, where is this haunted sound coming from? And I was pointed at her when we figured it out, and he went over, he's like, turn on. She's like, Oh, sorry. And then they left. It's like, good, you're a fucking loser. They've been saying this a lot lately, but god, I'm sick of these fucking cunts. Uh, I will say this too. We have decided to make the episodes a little bit shorter. Yeah. For for the time being, because we just we're just trying stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:13

See what works. Yeah. Also, as well, it just kind of works better with our scheduling too.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah, I live in Victoria. For the people who don't know, maybe you've just come in because it is super strange. Our downloads are great. Thank you so much. You guys have been.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

But Tay has to fly over once a week for half an hour to do an episode.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Yeah, it's a bit uh it gets a bit old and expensive. Uh so yeah, we're just we're just changing it up a little bit. Yeah, uh, the last time I saw you, David, was a fair while ago. Um, but in that time I went to Canada.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

You did? Yeah. You went and did some comedy in Canada. I mean, it wasn't purely for comedy, but that was like one of the big reasons, obviously.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

It wasn't going to be like I remember chatting to you before going, and I was like, yeah, I'd be really nice to like I used to live there in 2018. Nice.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

I was gonna say because Canada's your place. Like every time you've talked about travel and stuff in the past, one of the like recurring things like with me it's South America, I love South America. With you, it's always Canada. Yeah, it's like I fucking love being there, and then you talked about going back and yeah, and it yeah, it eventuated, which was nice, and then you're going back again soon.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Yeah, that's what's the plan to go back. I've gonna go back to the real world from pretty much tomorrow and it's some money coming in. Obviously, we've got fuel crisis and all that sort of stuff, but we'll see what happens. Swim there, I guess. But the what did happen was I didn't have any gigs really booked. And when I chatted to you last and you know, finally sent off some emails, I brought my trip forward, if you remember, by I think it was like four weeks. And because I was just sitting at my mum's house and I was like, I'm not doing anything, like I'm just just sitting here waiting to go. Asked my mate Thomas Thissel Thwaite, uh, who let me stay there for seven weeks all up in the end, because I ended up extending my trip while I was overseas. Yeah, that's how much I loved it. And uh I ended up sending some emails off and yucky's got back to me. Remember that one? That's right, yeah. Yeah, and I remember chatting to you about it. I was like, oh shit, I got yuckyx, and it was in Winnipeg, in the center of Canada. So I don't know what would be the equivalent of.

SPEAKER_01 11:19

Yuck Yucks is a prestigious like room, right? Yeah, yeah. Whenever I've heard people talking about um gigs in North America, the yucky's is a one of those uh I don't I don't know what you'd call it, I guess like a franchise or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

It's like Mark Breslin's Yuck Yucks or some shit like that. They're all you can buy one and whatnot.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

You can buy them and put them in your own like little yeah, so you just buy the brand because then people trust that and they're like they'll come to show. And then you get the catalog, right?

SPEAKER_00 11:45

So you get all the headliners and this and that.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 11:48

So yeah, that was cool. So I was like, oh shit, I'm at least gonna do one of those, and then went to Halifax to catch up with my mate James, which is in the east coast of Canada, complete opposite side, like you know, from Victor WA on steroids type thing. I think it's like a six-hour flight. Um, and yeah, I ended up doing yuck yucks there. Um, so featured at both of those yucks in Halifax, yucks in Winnipeg, which was awesome. Did like 20 minute spots. Nice. Um, which is pretty crazy to go from like seven minutes at the the comedy lounge here in Perth, then they're like, your feature act, you're doing 20. It's just like well, isn't it? Isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 12:30

It's not like you only had seven minutes. That would be crazy.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

I did a repeat of it.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Yeah, but you know what I mean. Like that would be crazy. It's crazy if you uh are like, yeah, I've got like five minutes and the lounge want me to do seven, so I'll stretch that out a little bit, and then a month later or whatever you're doing twenties. That that would be yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

It was yeah, it was great. It was uh it's a different thing there. That's what I wanted to talk about. So their pro nights uh seem to be at like yucks and stuff like that, and the the pro clubs uh less acts more time. So you would have that's how it should be. So MC does 15, yeah, feature act does 15 to 20, headliners 45.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

So you you came with me um on my first week at the comics lounge in Melbourne, and that's like the only place that I've had seen at that point that did it like that. Three brackets. There was the the MC and then the first act, and then uh MC and then the second act, and I was that that middle bracket and then the headliner, and both we got 20 minutes each, and then the headliner, which was Dave Callan. I think it was like 30, 30 to 40 or something. Because they were just like, just you know, just do at least 30 and then run for as long as you like, because you know, there was nothing after, obviously, it's just that one show. I I really prefer that.

SPEAKER_00 13:49

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:50

And I know it's an obvious thing to say, like, oh, I want to be on stage for longer, but I also I thought as a show it's just sort of better.

SPEAKER_00 13:56

Well, that one sounds fucking long, the comics lounge one. Yeah, it's like over two hours, though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 14:03

I don't know, uh I guess so. Three brackets of three brackets with two breaks because they own the building and they want to push all the you know the drinks and food and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 14:13

It's fucking like well, we got three premier comedy clubs in Australia. One's in WA, one's in Melbourne, one's in Sydney.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

Comics Lounge is so I mean, it's one of the best. It's so good. It's and it must be one of the best just like in the world, because everyone who comes to Australia does the Comics Lounge, they don't necessarily do all the other ones, but the Comics Lounge seems to get everyone. They've got this amazing backstage area. The green room is incredible, but then the backstage area around that with all the they have all these pictures up on the wall of all the the just every act. Every every act from Chris Rox to fucking Jim Jeffries, everybody is on that wall.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

Jim Jeffries was there four weeks ago, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:53

So you know, Louis was there when he was here. Um, I mean, just everybody. Yeah, everybody does that room.

SPEAKER_00 14:59

It it's uh it's so good.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

It's it's genuinely like it's been a highlight of my career doing it. Yeah, yeah, it's been I love that room so much.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

Where would you put like not to like rank them, you know, and say like because they're all great. I've only done the lounge in Perth, but I've been to all of them. I've watched shows, I've had you know been in the green room with you, um, the comics lounge in Melbourne, I've been multiple times to the store to watch shows and stuff like that. They're all genuine comedy clubs, that's all they do there. Um, but where would you put Sydney in that?

SPEAKER_01 15:34

The store. Yeah. As in like if I was to go like top to oh, that's that's tough. Because the store is incredible too.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

But like I like the store layout because it's like wide and then like it's little tier at the back.

SPEAKER_01 15:47

It's so yeah, I I yeah, that's a tough one. That is a tough one. Comics Lounge in Melbourne is a the numbers game, is a big part of that too. Yeah, like wings are yeah, huge, um, and also just everything about it from everyone who works there, like Grant and Dan, the brothers that run it, they're amazing, like their staff are amazing, like everything is cool. It's always you're always on with people that you just otherwise would be like, Holy shit, like I only see you on TV. Like, do you know what I mean? Like um, but this the store is amazing and then we have the lounge here, and that's like my the home ground, so I love that in a different way as well. Like, I was talking to Anthony Salome, and we were talking about this exact thing, and he was like, I'm a Sydney boy though, so like the store is my home ground, I love this place more than anywhere else. I kind of feel that way about our lounge, yeah, that's fair. But I don't know where I'd put the other two, they're they're amazing. But the lasting impression was the comics, comics lounge because that was the one that I thought like if I get that, yeah, that would be like tough. So to get it like a couple of times and to get like full week runs as well, is like, oh, this is amazing, this is lovely.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

So your plan is to try and get back in a couple of months, uh if all eventually end of June, July, I think. Yeah, so which should work out well when I potentially go to Canada.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

Yes, because you'll go after that? Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

Yeah, yeah, it should be I reckon. Um but it was so weird going back to Canada that because I was there for two years practically, and then like you just you have this massive layoff of what? Of so not being there. Of how many years? Uh well so it was in the 2019 uh that's when you left after living there for two years. Okay. 2020 one, two, three, four, five. So yeah, six. Yeah, because you went last year. Yeah. So it was uh it was like points, and I'm not an emotional person. If we've worked this out, I'm a close to a psychopath than anything. Uh we're only talking about that on the hard yarns.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Um told that story again.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

And uh that like I genuinely walked around and had like such a nostalgic, but proper, proper nostalgic to a point that you could probably sit down and like have a tear come out. Like it was it was very, very like fuck. I I have so many memories from here. The good thing is a lot of my mates still live there, so you're seeing friends all the time, and people are still like, hey, remember last time I saw you we were doing this, and you're like, ah, like I wasn't even 30 then.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

Had it changed much? Like, was not really no, no, that's the thing, isn't it? Because it it's a long time for you, and then you forget that like everyone just carries on as usual, and then you get back there, it's like you never left to them and they never left to you.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Yep, yeah. My mate's place is still the same. Yeah, um, like I the hospitality that I had for my friends was like second to none. It was yeah, it's awesome, and that's I was like, Yeah, I might go back for like two weeks at the end of this year. And my mate, you know, Thistle is just like, nah.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

Stay as long as you want. Yeah, if I can get it back. I can't. What is as long as you can? What's that period? Six months. Six months is as long as you can get. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

So yeah, I don't I'd be shocked if I was there for six months. Yeah, I wouldn't say never, but man, the comedy, my comedy alone was I was quite shocked at how well I was going. Because it was like I was doing I'm always shocked when you go. Yeah, yeah. I did f like three or four pro rooms just in Vancouver. Yeah. And then I did pretty much like, yeah, I obviously did Yucks in Winnipeg, Halifax, and then other nights. And but I was getting messages when they were like, Hey, can you headline this one, the and it's just like, what the fuck? Yeah, I'll do that. That's this is what I do back home.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

And yeah, it was very But I had this novelty because I was not from there and I could just Yeah, but you also were going, well, like you can't the the novelty thing doesn't work. You're not getting booked because like, oh, he's not from it.

SPEAKER_00 20:03

Well, yeah, true, yeah, yeah, true. Like I just had a couple of gigs where I got lucky where a lot of people were struggling, and then I just happened to go up and crack the room, and people were like, Oh, who the fuck is this guy? Because people said to me, Who the fuck are you? Which was strange, and then yeah, from there I got a few opportunities. But I think the happiest thing that I and proudest thing of the whole trip was every opportunity that I had I never fumbled.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:33

And that was something that I was like, Oh, you might eat a bag of dicks. Yeah, you might be at this pro room and you might eat it, but didn't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:41

And I was I was, yeah, so I think that's also you know, like you before there, you were here.

SPEAKER_00 20:47

Well, that's the only way that it worked, because I was here. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

And because you were just constantly um yeah, just putting the work in. Which I you know, you can say it's luck, but it's because of all the work that you did beforehand.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

I was confident. Yeah. I was confident. I walked in three days sorry, three weeks without gigging, which was the longest last year. That's crazy. And then I waltzed in and I was like fucking two third night, maybe um which a quick one. I for the first time ever on a a plane trip got diverted back to emergency stop. Oh, what happened? So it's funny, I it was seven hours left of the trip. We had just got past Honolulu, yeah, and I was like dying, I don't sleep well on planes, decided to go to sleep, woke up, there was 90 minutes left on the little tracker, and I was like, I've done it. Like we're we're practically here.

SPEAKER_01 21:48

You've been diverted though.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

And then I looked at the map and we were going the opposite direction. And I was like, That's not the way we're supposed to be going. Fucking pilot's drunk. Yeah, why are we going back to Honolulu? Uh ladies and gentlemen, just want to say you guys, uh, there's a medical emergency. We've had to divert back to Honolulu, we apologize. And I was like, oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 22:11

Was it worth it?

SPEAKER_00 22:13

I hope that person's dead. Like, I don't like I just don't get it, but I mean You don't get somebody having a medical emergency. Just bring them to we're close enough to Canada, just hold on.

SPEAKER_01 22:25

How far from Canada were you?

SPEAKER_00 22:27

Like five hours.

SPEAKER_01 22:28

Yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_00 22:29

Yeah. So it was a five-hour delay.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

So yeah, it wasn't thy best. Um, so I was even more jet lagged too.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

And jet lag, for the people who have never had jet lag, it is a weird, weird experience. It's hard to even like detail what it is because you're like, what it's daytime and I'm normal human. I guess I'm awake, but your eyes are just like, oh god, I could sleep at any moment. I am dying.

SPEAKER_01 22:57

Also, as well, when you've got to perform and you're tired, it's the it's the worst.

SPEAKER_00 23:01

I it was I was jet lagged at least for a week.

SPEAKER_01 23:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Um, for sure. Did you do shows within the first week? I can't remember.

SPEAKER_01 23:07

Third night.

SPEAKER_00 23:08

Third night. I was dying. I was like, oh my god, I am so tired.

Adrenaline does kick in and like take takes over and like gets you through the thing, but it's not it's not as nearly as good.

SPEAKER_00 23:20

I had a fantastic set because I had to really, really focus. Yeah, and I got lucky because I was chatting to a person in the audience, uh, this bird, and I was like, Where are you from? And she was like, Shanghai, and I'm like, ah, what are you doing here? And she was like, I'm a flight attendant. And I was like, Flight attendant, and I was like, and I did the story about that, and I just made up that uh, you know, the flight attendant, what did I say? Uh I said, after the ladies and gentlemen, we're you know, going back to Honolulu. I'm like, I hope that person fucking dies as a joke. Like, I pretended I said that out loud, and then I'm like, and then the flight attendant came over and she fist bumped me, and I'm like, I thought that was strange, but like, do you guys don't get overtime? She was like, No, we don't. And I was like, nah, it makes sense. She was pissed off, and that just that worked. Yeah, it just seemed to have like these little off the cuff moments that work quite well. So, and then yeah, it was it was good, like it was it was great, actually. Like, like genuinely Canada couldn't have been better. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, like I'm very shocked of how well it was. My last night there, we put on like an Aussi spectacular show because I met a couple of other Aussies. We ended up having like through mates and stuff like that. We had it two and a half weeks, and we had to get it like sorted, we had 55 people. Yeah, nice. Yeah, it was too many people in that room.

SPEAKER_01 24:38

So, yeah, that was I mean it has to have been pretty fucking good because you were back a week going, yes, I'm gonna go back in like yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:46

Yeah, so it's uh yeah, definitely want to head back, but obviously you just don't know what's gonna happen with life and bits and pieces.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

Yeah, countries going to war with each other and all that jazz. Crazy task. Yeah, it's it's been I guess that's gonna affect flight prices. Like I don't know. Has it affected yours going back to from here?

SPEAKER_00 25:06

Uh I remember I booked and then I looked at the same flight a week later, and it shouldn't have changed that much, and it was already $120 more. Okay. So that was it. So it has a little bit. Well, so we're at Todd's famous studio in Fremantle is where we're doing the pod like usual. Yeah. Um, and he booked to fly back from San Fran, uh, because he's gone for the World Cup, and that was sixteen hundred dollars one way. Yeah, fuck. So that is super pricey. But he's over on that side of the world, so he could have just waited uh potentially and booked it while he was over there because flights seem to be cheaper in the US.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

Yeah, yeah. If you booked them when you're when you're there.

SPEAKER_00 25:54

I don't know, maybe because their money's less. The VPN sort of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 25:58
