Speaker 1:

Hello, welcome to episode 9 of the Team Winget podcast, and I'm your host, dave Morgan. So you know what. It's been a little while, but I got a little busy, as per normal. I had a sick kid. The miserable little snot rocket, that little germ farm, came back from his school camp and, yeah, just did not seem to go too well at all. He came back miserable, tired, happy, but tired, miserable just because he was sick and yeah, he pretty much had the following week off because he had a cold flu, whatever. Petri dish of germs went around that camp and you know what? There's nothing we could do about it. He had fun, but then he went back to school because, well, he only had one week left to school before holidays, so it's about time he went back there, because you know what he needs more time at school.

Speaker 2:

God damn it when someone says, hold your horses, they're telling you to be stable so I've been a bit busy.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I've actually gotten off my ass and done a fair bit on YouTube lately. There was three videos pretty recent. All was in about a week of each other, so I'm actually getting off my ass. I found that little bit of creative spark that I used to have, so I'm getting motivated again. I'm enjoying the editing. I enjoy doing this sort of thing, so when I get a bit of time, this is what I like to do, and you know what. I hope you guys enjoy it too. So do remember, if you like listening or if you like anything, I do check out the Team Wing it page on YouTube, check it out on Facebook, check it out on everywhere there's social media. Chances are I've put up a page there. Now I may not do a lot on there and I hope to get better at this, but yeah, follow it and see what happens next, I guess.

Speaker 2:

If a homeless man adopts a stray dog, the dog is technically still homeless.

Speaker 1:

So this weekend coming up seems to be pretty goddamn impressive. I don't have Josh, so Leanne and I have our weekend to ourselves. So now we're talking about Friday night, the Firelight Festival in the city in Docklands I believe it is, and I don't know what it entails, but the few videos I've seen on Facebook it looks a bit interesting. It could be a bit of fun. It just involves going into the city. So, look, it's not my first choice, but you know what, for something different. It only goes for the Friday, saturday, sunday nights. So it's like blink and you miss it or who knows what, like we could go there and wander off and find something else to do. So you don't know. But yeah, so friday night looks like we could be doing that saturday, but I'm too sure probably not much. Oh, friday, during the day I've got josh because it's a curriculum day, because his school decided, you know what, just because two weeks off, you need an extra day. So we're gonna have a Friday off, so I'll have Josh most of the day and then Lan comes over and that's when this starts. So from there, saturday, I don't know if we'll do anything Saturday. We might just goof around, not do a whole bunch just sort of relax a little.

Speaker 1:

And then on the Saturday night we're meant to be going to I think it's called the Boogeyman Bar, somewhere towards the city somewhere, and see a band called the Dirty Rats, because I believe it's the bass player Used to be a teacher at our high school. Now, it was either metalwork or woodwork, I actually don't remember. I don't remember the guy too well which Leanne's going to go. What I said, I know, but I was only there for a year, at 10 and 11, so what do I know? She was there for like the whole of her high school thing, so of course she'd know him. And yeah, she's stayed in touch with this guy, with this teacher, and yeah, and I think he actually taught her son when her son went to high school different high school, but so it's like, yeah, those two have a friendship for ages.

Speaker 1:

So we thought, yeah, why not, let's go see them. You know what? I actually don't mind going and seeing pub bands, so it could be a bit of fun. So the other thing we're doing this weekend is going up to I think it's Tulangi, up past Dixon's Creek or somewhere out bush it's like an hour away from my place, I believe, to her sister's place and her husband and her dad's going to be there. Oh, just a big Christmas in July, family get together, so you know what it could be a bit of fun. I haven't seen her sister in well. I've seen her once in December in a long time.

Speaker 1:

And then her next door neighbour who is her husband's stepbrother. I know it's confusing. Imagine how I feel. Yeah, we went to high school with, so I'm looking forward to catching up with him too, and who knows who else is going to be. There could be all sorts of people popping in who I don't actually know. But you know what? There's something different. Let's go spend an afternoon up in the bush, and if I misbehave, there's plenty of property there for them to bury up, to bury my body.

Speaker 2:

I guess you just never know how the afternoon pulls out if humans have different blood types, does that mean mosquitoes see us as different flavours?

Speaker 1:

So, as I said, the school holidays are coming up and it's always a fun time trying to get the time off from work and figuring out what to do with Josh For the couple of days I have him each week. Like just depends on the week. Some days I have him three sometimes Sorry, some. It's a weird situation because one week I have him two days, the other week I have him five days in a bunch of two and then three, like yeah, it's a weird parental thing because I flat out refuse to go seven days without him. So it's a little odd and makes school holidays interesting. But you know what it works. I get to see my little buddy. Well, I'll call him a little buddy now. He school holidays interesting. But you know what it works. I get to see my little buddy Well, I'll call him a little buddy now. He hasn't annoyed me lately, so I guess he's my little buddy.

Speaker 1:

And yeah, just got to think of things to do. Should be a bit of fun. I know my sister Lizzie's birthday is in there somewhere and I think we're going out for dinner. Other than that, we'll probably catch up with Aunty Kel. Leanne will probably come along and do something with us. I don't actually know what we're going to do, so it'll be a case of let's just figure it out and, hey, team wing it. It's not like we have a whole lot of plans to begin with.

Speaker 2:

Guess I'll just go and fuck myself.

Speaker 1:

So on the 2nd of July. I have now been in this place in Killsize for 3 years Now. Every other year I've done a video celebrating woohoo. Another year of not blowing the place up or burning it to the ground. This year I just didn't.

Speaker 1:

I thought, eh, I'd seen no reason to celebrate. It hasn't taken any effort on my part, just keep the place clean and when the inspections happen and make sure nothing goes totally fucking tits up. So I just couldn't be arsed doing a video about that. I mean, considering I've done three videos recently about all sorts of other shit, I thought you know what, I don't need to do that one. So I didn't and I had more important things to worry about. Anyway, like it is a case of, yes, another year here in Kilsize and you know what I do like the place. I'm never gonna say I don't, but I really do enjoy it. It's just a nice little place for Josh and myself. We have fun.

Speaker 2:

We've got Kane hereain here Sometimes in life, we make our own choices. Sometimes a choice is made for us and sometimes there is no choice at all.

Speaker 1:

So we have come to the end and, to tell you the truth, I didn't pick this song. It picked me, the truth. I didn't pick this song. It picked me because lately, josh has been sending Leanne and myself different songs in this, and this one is an earworm. This one has been stuck in our goddamn heads. Now, to tell you the truth, I only paid attention to the chorus because I didn't actually listen, because I somehow managed to just blank it out of my mind.

Speaker 1:

But Josh has managed to get this hooked into our little clan here and so because of this, it's called the Duck Song or the Duck Story or something, and it's a stupid little YouTube thing. But you know what, if you listen to the whole thing, it actually has a bit of a giggle at the end. So it's your choice, unless you're me, and you'll get annoyed in the first like 30 seconds and go sorry, dave, I'm not paying attention to this shit. You're on your own and good luck for you, for Josh getting that stuck in your head, sir. So you know what. Enjoy. Tell me how far you get through it before you want to just stick skewers through your eardrums. But yeah, all right, on that note. I will see you all later tell me the duck story.

Speaker 2:

Bum bum bum, ba, dum, ba dum. A duck walked up to a lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand hey, bum, bum bum, got any grapes? The man said no, we just sell lemonade, but it's cold and it's fresh and it's all homemade. Can I get you a glass? The duck said I'll pass. Then he waddled away waddle waddle Till the very next day, bum bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-dum. When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand hey, bum, bum bum, got any grapes? The man said no, like I said yesterday, we just sell lemonade. Okay, why not give it a try? The duck said goodbye. Then he waddled away waddle waddle Till the very next day. Bum bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-dum. When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand hey, bum, bum bum, got any grapes? The man said look, this is getting old. I mean lemonade's, all we've ever sold. Why not give it a go? The duck said how about no? Then he waddled away waddle waddle. Then he waddled away waddle, waddle, waddle. Then he waddled away waddle, waddle, waddle. Then he waddled away waddle waddle Till the very next day, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-dum. When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand hey, bum, bum, bum, got any grapes. The man said that's it. If you don't stay away, duck, I'll glue you to a tree and leave you there all day stuck, so don't get too close. The duck said adios. Then he waddled away, waddle, waddle. Then he waddled away, waddle, waddle, waddle. Then he waddled away, waddle, waddle.

Speaker 2:

Till the very next day, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-dum. When the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running the stand hey, got any glue? What Got any glue? No, why would I? Oh, then one more question for you Got any grapes? Got any grapes? Bum, bum, bum, Bum, bum, bum. And the man just stopped. Then he started to smile, he started to laugh, he laughed for a while. He said come on, duck, let's walk to the store. I'll buy you some grapes so you won't have to ask anymore. So they walked to the store and the man bought some grapes. He gave one to the duck and the duck said no, thanks, but you know what sounds good. It would make my day. Do you think this store? Do you think this store? Do you think this store has any lemonade?

Speaker 1:

Then he waddled away, waddle, waddle then he waddled away, waddle waddle, waddle then he waddled away, wad.
