24. A Wheelie Fun Chat
Ever wondered if you'd rather face off with 20 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck? In this fun-filled episode, Sam and Joel take a break from their usual serious topics and dive into a series of whimsical icebreaker questions that reveal their quirks, childhood fears, and practical strategies. They talk about their newfound guilty pleasures, like an addiction to chocolate bullets from Aldi, and explore their favourite beverages, whether it's a strong black coffee or a whiskey sour. Get ready for a laid-back and humorous conversation that provides a fresh glimpse into their lives.
Sam and Joel also stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about their celebrity crushes, childhood dreams, and cherished memories. From iconic figures like Zooey Deschanel and Jesse McCartney to dreams of becoming a firefighter and a police officer, they both reflect on how their aspirations have evolved. The personal bonds that shape their lives bring a blend of humour and sentimentality to the episode. Whether it's the simple advice to drink water when thirsty or the nostalgic moments of Joel's past dreadlocks, this episode is packed with fun, laughter, and the pieces of wisdom that have left a lasting impact.

Hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of A Really Good Chat where we divulge areas of my life, even on PG-1s and, if you're a first time listener, thank you so much for joining. And a bit of a backstory I've got a neuromuscular condition called dystonia and the reason I started this podcast with my friend Joel is to talk about taboo subjects that aren't really normalised in day-to-day conversations. Yeah, so I really do hope you enjoy this episode and stick around for further episodes. And, as always, hello to my co-host, joel.
Speaker 2:Hello Sam, how are you this week?
Speaker 1:Yes, going well as always. Nothing major to report with me.
Speaker 2:Except that your mum's gone away on holidays and you've got the house to yourself.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, that is a good point.
Speaker 2:How many parties are you going to throw?
Speaker 1:Well, it's almost coming to an end, so how many have I had? That is for me to know and her to find out. Okay, it's been a while. It feels like it's been a while.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've been off gallivanting and traveling around and doing stuff, so we're back into it today. Dust the cobwebs off. Hopefully we can pull it together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we might be a bit rough, but you know, this is what a bit of a break does to us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're organic, we're grassroots. It's going to be a real episode. We're going to keep it real today. That's how we're going to frame it.
Speaker 1:Exactly Real, authentic people. So in today's episode we thought we would do it a bit differently and we're just going to ask some icebreaker questions to each other and to get to know Joel, to get to know me a bit better, rather than just my disability, more of our personality and such yeah. So hopefully that is something you want to listen to?
Speaker 2:I know I do. I think today we're just going to take it easy, sam. We're not going to talk about the big hard-hitting issues, we're just going to ask each other some questions. I mean, you see this stuff all the time, right, where people ask it's like icebreaker questions. You know the dating game where people like how ass-breaker questions. You know the dating game where people like how well do you know your spouse? And stuff like that. We're going to keep it real simple. We're just going to take turns asking each other some whimsical questions so everyone can find out a little bit more about who you and I are as people, and I'm very curious to hear your answers too, because it's not something you play with your friends, is it?
Speaker 2:You know what I mean? We just don't want to sit around and shoot the shit.
Speaker 1:I'm looking forward to getting to know you a bit more too, sam before we begin, we would like to acknowledge the traditional customs of country throughout australia and their connection to land, sea and community we pay our respect to their elders, past and present, and extend that respect to all first nations peoples today and in the future I'll start because it's yeah great. This episode is about getting to know you. Would you rather fight 20 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?
Speaker 2:Good question, good start. When I was young, when I was like a little kid, I got attacked by a swarm of ducks Ducks, don't mess around I did. I got attacked. I was like four or five maybe, but it's one of those core memories where a swarm of ducks out of the pond, they flew out of the pond and I thought that they were just going to sort of fly over me or pass me or whatever, but they swirled around me and some of them, like, pecked me with their beaks and like scared the hell out of me as a kid and I'm all right now.
Speaker 2:I do like ducks. They're fine, but the idea of a horse-sized duck just scares the shit out of me. I think that's brutal. It can fly, I think. What is it? 20 duck-sized horses? I think they'll get you. I think it'll hurt, I think they'll bite and I think they'll stomp on your toes. I don't think it's. I think with some swift kicks you'll get there eventually, I think a horse-sized duck is petrifying.
Speaker 1:Oh gosh. Yeah, that's a good answer and it's a fair answer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about yourself?
Speaker 1:I would do the 20 duck-sized horses because logistically speaking, I could just kick them off rather than like horse-sized duck. There's not much that I can really do to protect myself, except for like roll up into the ball that's it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, once it gets airborne, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1:yeah, what are you gonna do? Yeah, size of a horse, you are the duck's prey.
Speaker 2:My turn to ask a question, all right. What is your guilty pleasure? What is something that, like, you love, but you're a little bit embarrassed about loving it?
Speaker 1:well, I don't really know if this is kind of a guilty pleasure, but at the moment I'm loving chocolate bullet from audi okay that is a guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2:That's good. That's not a healthy. That's not a healthy, uh interest and okay specifically from audi, so specifically the audi brand audi brand yep okay so good, and then?
Speaker 1:you're just hooked oh my god, I I've like have to restrain myself and like put them away, please yeah.
Speaker 2:Are you normally a snacky person? Are you normally someone that is always got a bag of chips? No, okay, so this is, this has brought you into the snack world a bit. Yeah, I mean, listeners can't see Sam's face right now, but like it. I can't see Sam's face right now, but it's like a crackhead addict. You've got to try something, man. Like come on, like twitching, singing about it, oh my God, oh that's good.
Speaker 1:What would you say? Yours is?
Speaker 2:I think I'm going to go a different way with this. So I grew up in a very masculine family. I've only got brothers. I've got three brothers, there's four of us and very boy, very manly. So my guilty pleasure and it probably shouldn't be a guilty pleasure but I love musicals and I love that really, corny musicals. I love a musical, love a good musical, uh, and it's and it shouldn't be something I feel guilty for, I guess but it's something that, like growing up I had to sort of pretend I didn't you know as as into it kind of thing.
Speaker 1:I love music, oh my god, I love it do you have a favorite one you've watched or seen live?
Speaker 2:oh, I think, like book of mormon is great just because it's also so funny and so clever. Um, I really like lay miss. Lay miss is fantastic. Uh, what else have I seen that I've really, really, really enjoyed? Oh, I think, like everyone likes Hamilton, but that's a bit of a cop out because everyone likes Hamilton, so that's fine. I really like Wicked, actually. So Wicked is an awesome, awesome musical. It is just banger after banger after banger. It's incredible.
Speaker 1:Huge fan of that A Wicked movie soon. I cannot do musicals, so I went to West End. Yeah, I went there.
Speaker 2:I cannot do musicals, so I went to West End.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I went there, yeah, watched Lion King, fell asleep.
Speaker 2:Lion King is so overrated. I agree. Like I will say it's good, it's not the best.
Speaker 1:But I think it's too much going on for my ADHD brain. I just cannot wrap my head around it.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what I love about it. There's so much going on, like look at all the things you can see. It's so good. One of my favorite ones is called title of show and that's a musical about making a musical and it's the funniest thing I've ever seen, but no one's ever heard of it what was your first live concert?
Speaker 2:ah, I don't know. So for the listeners at home. We've been writing these questions for a few days. I would say writing it. We didn't put a lot of. We had a live google doc and when this one came on I really can't remember would have been like a local battle of the bands. So when I was young, I was like a teenager I was really into local local music scene here in brisbane and sort of out of suburbs. But being under 18, you can't get in anywhere proper and and not having money means that I couldn't go to like any good ones. But there's a lot. At the time there was like a lot of Battle of the Bands and I was just thinking this recently. Around you don't really see a lot of Battle of the Bands anymore, but there were heaps when I was a kid, so heaps of like emo and alt rock bands and stuff like that. So it would have been one of those, but I could not tell you who played.
Speaker 2:Oh damn Some local artist, probably called like Bloody Chainsaw or something like that. I don't know it's an aggressive name. What was your first live concert, if you remember. I hope you've got a better answer than I do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like I do. So my first concert I went to the Australian Idol 2003 and they went on a tour. It's epic, so it was the top 12, I think it was was and they went for a tour around australia. Okay, so it was guy sebastian and shannon noel oh, is that, yeah, okay and I remember it so vividly. So my mum came with my brother and I, and so jake my brother, we were like really close to the front, and so Jake my brother, we were like really close to the front.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was so cool. Yeah, yeah, cool, cool. Yeah, I was just trying to think does that count as a concert? But of course it does. Of course it's a concert.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because they were singing, they were performing.
Speaker 2:Who was your favourite? Who was the one you wanted to win?
Speaker 1:Shannon Noel.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, I was a Shannon O fan. And he got second Is that right yeah?
Speaker 2:Nolzi, he got second Good old, Nolzi Good old Nolzi Shout out to Nolzi. Might have had a shout out to Nolzi I'm sure he listens. I'm sure he listens to this podcast. Oh, this is a good one. If you could take one prop from any movie or TV set tv set what would it be?
Speaker 1:this was so hard. I was trying to think of what shows are like and enjoy watching, and like what's a significant piece of thing that's like really recognizable with that show, and then so I thought about friends and then I was like the couch in central perk oh yeah it's gonna be a comfy couch if everyone sits on it all the time. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2:It is a TV show, Sam, so they might be acting. It might not be.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, what's my answer? No, it's good.
Speaker 2:No, it's good, it's a good one. It's a good one, and here's where we'll see the difference between you and I, in that I did not think about any of these questions at all. I'm just trying to think now what I'd want, probably, like I'm a bit of a fantasy nerd, so I probably would want something from the Lord of the Rings set. To be honest, you know, something OG, something like a sword would be cool. Sting would be a great sword to have. I'd love that sword. So that's a sword that you don't get.
Speaker 2:Time's going down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that would be the one. I think it would be Lord of the Rings. I think that's such a boring answer, though. Do you know what I mean? Like surely I have more interesting taste than that, but I can't think of anything right now. No, that's okay so that's what it is, yeah love that.
Speaker 1:Who was your celebrity crush growing up and?
Speaker 2:who is it now? Easy, so easy. Zooey Deschanel still is, always will be.
Speaker 1:Really no Easy.
Speaker 2:Easy one, move on, tick Me and half the population, I think, and she can sing. Oh my God, have you heard her sing?
Speaker 1:Have you heard she and him? Is she the girl from?
Speaker 2:New Girl, hey, yes, oh, she's fantastic yeah that is a funny show. That's great. No-transcript, I think obviously the she of she and him. She's amazing, she's amazing. The other one's a bit sad. Olivia Newton-John was the other one, as well. Going back to, I loved Grease growing up. It was just like any time I was sick or sad, throw some Grease on Interesting. See, I'm weaving. I'm weaving these answers together. Anyway, who's your celebrity crush slash was? Can I guess who your celebrity crush was growing up?
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can guess.
Speaker 2:Well, I think maybe Nolsi is probably up there.
Speaker 1:That's a good one. I didn't even think of him actually.
Speaker 2:Anyone from Hanson? No, who's the kid from Home Improvement? Taylor, and he was in Santa Claus. Obviously not him. All right, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's all my guesses, any improvements with the neighbour who never shows his face? Wilson, yeah, wilson yeah. Great, oh my God, I want to watch that. That's got to be on some platform.
Speaker 2:Surely, it is Surely.
Speaker 1:No, but actually he was really cute.
Speaker 2:The kid yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, he played.
Speaker 2:Simba in Lion King as well. He was everywhere, jonathan something Taylor.
Speaker 1:Someone's going to write.
Speaker 2:If this is a thing that gets people to comment to like, correct me.
Speaker 1:great, Fair enough, whatever works. When I was thinking back to who was my celebrity crush, it actually took me quite some time, so I just thought of Jesse McCartney, okay.
Speaker 2:That's a good one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And now I'm sure, if you know me, everyone knows who my celebrity crush is Travis Boak. He's an AFL football player. Okay, he's played over 370 games.
Speaker 2:Have you got his poster? Have you got him up on the wall? No, no I wish I had a Zooey Deschanel poster. I would absolutely have a Zooey poster.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, you can't just hold on to hope that they're going to find you.
Speaker 2:You are never too old for posters or hope, so get them on.
Speaker 1:True, okay, wise words, wise words.
Speaker 2:I do like this one. What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given, or a piece of advice you'll always remember?
Speaker 1:which are surely the same would you believe that I've got these notes in front of me and that's the one that I was like, I don't know, I won't literally. I'm gonna pull a jaw here and think on the spot, and it might just be something that my mom said even when she's like like not with me, she'll still be with me. Aww, she'll always like be in my heart. It sounds so corny, but it's good advice because you know, obviously I don't want to think about a time when Mum's not here, but really it's inevitable. So, you know, thinking about her, that she'll always be with me and know in my little heart is, um, you know, something quite special, like this very, very mom kind of thing to say.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it's a very sweet thing too, isn't it?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, yeah. What would you say?
Speaker 2:yours is oh, mine's so dumb. Now you did a really nice sentimental one of mine's so dumb. It's so dumb. It's the dumbest piece of advice I've ever gotten. But it is also the best piece of advice I've ever gotten. Are you ready? This is so dumb. When you're thirsty, drink water. But the amount of times that I remind myself this, because when you're thirsty, I will grab a coffee or a beer or a juice or a you know what I mean. Like, I'm always like the thing that's, I'm really thirsty. Yeah, let's get to the bar and get a beer. You're like whoa. No, when you're thirsty, your body is shouting at you that you are dehydrating and you need to drink water, or you ignore the thirst. You go, I'm thirsty, but I want to get out of bed. No, when you're thirsty, drink water and I feel so dumb that it works so well on me. It's like when you're hungry, eat food. Everyone knows that bit.
Speaker 2:But when you're thirsty drink water, so dumb.
Speaker 1:It's not going to go anywhere, it's stuck. That's it as a child. What did you want to be when you grew up?
Speaker 2:I wanted to be a fireman and I still might, who knows? Yeah. And I wanted to be an actor. Oh, I like to perform, I like to perform.
Speaker 1:In a musical.
Speaker 2:I can't sing, so I'll be the tree. I like to be on stage and film and things like that. But you know, that's not a career, that's a hobby. Really, that's how you're going to treat that. And then I don't know what happened to the firefighter thing. It just never. I think I have asthma as well and I kept waiting for the asthma to go away and it just never did. So, I think that was sort of the thing that held me back from being a firefighter.
Speaker 1:Do you want?
Speaker 2:to be a firefighter, though, when I grow up. That's good.
Speaker 1:When I finally grow up.
Speaker 2:When I finally get there? What about you, when you finally grow up, sam?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I always wanted to be a police officer.
Speaker 2:Awesome. What made you want to be a police officer?
Speaker 1:I think it's the hustle and the bustle and, you know, just getting the baddie, yeah, yeah. The adrenaline, exactly yeah, life on the edge kind of thing, yeah, who knows, you still might make it, who knows? But I'm not really interested anymore, to be honest with you. I guess when I was a kid I wasn't really thinking about no, the safety protocols, but um. But now I'm like yeah there's so many instances, but bad things happen to people who are just trying to help someone the baddies shoot back sometimes.
Speaker 2:So and what about now? What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, I still want to be a social worker great well you're in the right space, and it's worth saying again that sam got a job. It's so awesome oh yeah, thank you next question what does your perfect weekend look like?
Speaker 1:mine is just like spent in the sun, are you did?
Speaker 2:you check it? Did you write down answers? Hang on, did you just check your answers? Have you written down answers?
Speaker 1:Because I don't want to get a Bible Nerd, nerd.
Speaker 2:You were like, did homework on this assignment.
Speaker 1:The only time I'm like really dedicated to doing something is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the icebreaker question. It's got to get them right. Yes, you can't fail the pressure, the pressure.
Speaker 1:Okay, so my perfect weekend will be when it's summer. You know, spending the sun with friends and laughing, having a few drinks, cocktails and just not having a care in the world. But then also there's like the other side of it. You know where I would just spend it with my niece and nephew and just seeing them play and laughing and just at the simple things in life. What would you say your perfect weekend would be?
Speaker 2:Well, first of all, the weekend that never ends. Mondays are tough, yo. No, I like in the wilderness somewhere, I think just getting lost somewhere in the wilderness and exploring some new place, a new cave or mountain I love mountains, rainforests. Just get lost somewhere for a weekend, just take a backpack in, just camp out there under the stars and hopefully return safely. Yeah, Not the priority, but you know it's up there.
Speaker 1:What's one thing on your bucket list?
Speaker 2:Oh, so many things. I want to go climb the French Alps. I want to go see the cherry blossoms in japan. Um what else I?
Speaker 1:want to do one I want to go nepal.
Speaker 2:One thing france, just all of it.
Speaker 1:All of France.
Speaker 2:Just all of it. Yeah, just all of it. If you're going to make me pick one thing, I'm going to pick a big thing All of France, ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'd like to do before I die Every single road.
Speaker 2:yeah, and every person and every book and all of it.
Speaker 1:You might be there for a while.
Speaker 2:No, I really want to go to the mountains there, the French Alps.
Speaker 1:Well, it's funny, because mine is. You skydive over the Swiss Alps.
Speaker 2:Sick. Well, we could do that together and then hop on over to France and do the French Alps as well. Can you skydive over the Swiss Alps? Is that something you can do, or is that just like? That's just your dream thing?
Speaker 1:well, I feel like I've seen that happen you can skydive everywhere, right yeah, yeah, that's it, the sky goes over the whole place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's you know, everywhere's got sky yeah oh, that'd be sick. I would love to skydive over the swiss alps. That would just be an unreal memory yeah, that'd be unreal, unreal. Next question what day in your life would you like to relive? I thought this was one of the harder questions. By the way, this is a tough one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it really was. It is fun. I didn't know which direction to go in. I didn't know if I wanted to be really heartfelt or a bit funny. So I with my, my brother's, 10th birthday, because that's the few days before I got sick, as I call it. Yeah, yeah. So I'll go back to that day and just, I guess, enjoy it, enjoy climbing up the pole and really doing what I can't do now. How about you? What day would you relive?
Speaker 2:as a parent. It's sort of I mean, the obvious answer is any moment in my child's life, you know, any moment, any moment in her life I'll go back and do, but I think again that's a bit of a cop-out. So I think that's a given. If I was given that wish, I would go back to perhaps my daughter's birth, like when she was born, or one of her first birthdays. You know those early years. Then I do really miss having a baby. My daughter's 12 now. So she's harder to pick up and swaddle, not impossible, but she fights back these days. But that makes it tough.
Speaker 2:I think outside of that it's such a nothing day. There was a day when I had first moved to western australia with my now partner, mel and we were early in our relationship, and it's just this day that has just lived in my memory forever that we just we woke up one morning and we spent every minute of the whole day together and then we went to bed together that night, uh, and we just didn't really do anything but hung out, just something. That's just sat with me. We just sit in the hammock at our place. We went to the beach, we just kind of walked around and did a couple.
Speaker 2:We had no pressures, no plans, no one else was involved yeah, that was just like a one of those early moments when you go, I could really see myself with this person forever and ever and ever and sort of realizing how in love with her I was. I'd probably go back and do that one. That was, that was a nice day that's a beautiful answer. Oh, thank you. Sometimes I say beautiful things, don't be so surprised. It's not just questions out of this face, baby.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he has a heart, guys, he has a heart.
Speaker 2:My partner doesn't even listen to this podcast, by the way, so that wasn't like to get me brownie points or anything. She goes, I hear you enough. I said did you listen to this? She's no, I hear you enough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can actually imagine like living with you, and you know that I don't shut up that's enough. Yeah, what's your go-to drink order when you're out?
Speaker 2:I'm a beer man, so I like a like a hazy IPA or a pale ale. I like a fruity beer, a nice fruity hoppy beer. Or if we're talking non-alcoholic, then I like a long black. It's just coffee and water. Get it in me Pure. Don't water that down with milk or sugar. Straight coffee, please. And I like it strong, so I'll go like a triple shot or I might even go four shots sometimes as well. So strong black coffee or a nice fruity beer.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 2:That's me. What about you?
Speaker 1:If I'm out and about and wanting an alcoholic beverage, I go for a whiskey sour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you like your cocktails, don't you?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. However, lately I've been loving a red wine. It yeah, you like your cocktails, don't you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, However lately I've been loving a red wine, just depends on the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know she's a bit classy now Can I say La-di-da? Yeah, I know, but you know, if it's just like you know during the day, just a classic Sprite kind of gal.
Speaker 2:Right, I thought you were going to say white wine during the day. No, I don't like white one, but yeah, I love my sprite. Okay, yeah, how do you?
Speaker 1:go with something like champagne or bubbly. Your fan, not a huge fan.
Speaker 2:I think that's why I do like red, because it's no bubbles and it's smooth is there a drink that you hate that everyone else in the world seems to love? Is there something you're on the outside of?
Speaker 1:I really, really did try to like matcha.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I just can't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It just tastes like grass. Yeah, it's great yes right.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 1:I love it, it's great. Oh, you like matcha? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like if I find one that's no mix like mango matcha, I'm like, oh yeah, this is good because it doesn't taste like matcha. That's probably what it is at the moment For me.
Speaker 2:I don't get tea. It's fine, tea's fine, but like people go mad for tea and I'm like, yeah, it's all right. It's just like it's somewhere between water, it's water with a bit of caffeine in it is how I feel about it. So I'm either just going to, when you're thirsty, drink water, so I just drink the water, or I'm going to go for a super strong coffee, because last one, sam, this is a nice one. This is about us. What is one thing that you noticed about me when we first met?
Speaker 1:I feel like this is a very predictable answer. It was your dreadies, that's right. I had dreadlocks, yeah, and like they were, so epic. They were really, really epic dreadies. Yeah, so that's the first thing that I noticed about Joel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like a white guy with dreadlocks for 10 years. So if anyone wants, you can go to my Instagram. I'm sure it's linked through the to the really good chat. If not, we will. But go have a look at at me with dreadlocks. I won't say I suited them well, I loved them.
Speaker 1:I loved them so much I miss them yeah, no, because like that's how I remember, that's how I remember me, yeah, and sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like who's? That where are your dreads? I remember when I first saw you with Adam, I was like, hmm, it's going to take a little bit of time to get used to, don't let you see it For me.
Speaker 2:I remember your smile, Sam, this just welcoming, inviting smile, and persona of willingness, where you just like, just wanted to connect with people and just felt that a mile away from you. Just wanted to connect with people and just felt that a mile away from you and I and I think it was sort of friends at first sight, you know what I mean. Like, I feel like we were really connected really fast, which is awesome, yeah, definitely yeah, and I'm so glad that that that that has lasted.
Speaker 2:We did the maths the other day, didn't we? What is it?
Speaker 2:12 years more yeah, I think it was 13, 12 or 13 years somewhere around there, and I feel like our friendship just gets stronger and stronger every passing year, you know, which says a lot, because I feel like we started on a really good position. So from my little piece of the world over here, sam, I just want to say it's an absolute joy being on this podcast with you, and you are a delight to be around, and I genuinely mean this. Feel free to cut it out of the podcast, it's all good, but you bring me so much joy in my life and so I'm so, so thankful that we did meet in that weird little youth center in Coburn over in WA 12 or 13-ish years ago and I hope that we've got many decades left and we and we get to sort of still be patching up for cocktails when we're old and grey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely no, I really appreciate that. Thanks, joel. And of course, like you know, I think it goes without saying you know, I wouldn't let anyone just on this podcast, really nearly you know that's good to know.
Speaker 2:I was worried, yeah.
Speaker 1:Being on this podcast and like, and you asking the questions has really filled up a strong friendship, I reckon, which I really appreciate. Of course you said I look forward to you know, actually catching up for a drink would be great when you're over here.
Speaker 1:So I think that's all for this episode. I really do hope that you enjoyed listening to us answer some icebreaker questions. You know it was a bit of a random one, but yeah, if you want to stay up to date with the latest, follow a really good chat podcast on Instagram, where I post the latest. And, as always, thanks to my co-host, joel, I really enjoyed hearing your quirky answers. Some of them I was definitely not judging, I promise.
Speaker 2:Always a pleasure, Sam. Thanks so much for having me and until next time everyone, I promise Always a pleasure, Sam, Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1:And until next time, everyone stay safe.
