Speaker 1:

Take off your pants, crack a beer. Welcome everyone to the worst podcast ever.

Speaker 2:

Hello, welcome back to Team Winget Podcast, and I'm your host, dave Morgan. I do apologize for the delay in episode 11 here, but well, the last week I've been suffering from a cold and I've sounded like poo. I probably still sound a little bit nasally, a little bit coldy fluey, whatever you want to call it, but I'm a hell of a lot better than I was. So I thought let's get off my ass. I have a bit of time on my hands. Why not do something, film it? I have an afternoon, so let's get some shit done. Since we talked last well, since I talked and you listened what has happened? I should have written more down, but these couple of weeks have been a bit chaotic.

Speaker 2:

School holidays happened. Josh and I caught up with Callie. We did Holy Moly at Eastland, so it was like this novelty, fucking mini golf thing, bit of fun. We did 10-pin bowling at Time Zone where they have this bullshit little setup, and I went and broke it, because the pins are lowered down on a string and that's how they're done, and I hit them so hard that they all wrapped around each other and tied themselves in knots. So we had to go get someone to go and untangle them and, oh God, all I do is just throw shit as hard as I can.

Speaker 2:

That is my bowling style. There is no fucking style. It is just throw shit hard and fast. There you go, yeah, apparently, at the time zone one. That's not good, yeah, well, they'll bloody, learn, not me. Good, yeah, well, they'll bloody, learn not me. So yeah, I think that was the week, the second week of the holidays that was after lizzie's birthday, so so from now, I think on the friday yeah, pretty sure that was the friday that we had josh till like four in the afternoon, so leanne and I took him to go see the live action version of how to Train your Dragon. And because Josh and Leanne loved that movie the original, and I've seen it a couple of times, it's not too bad, so we thought yeah let's go check this out, because we'd heard good things.

Speaker 2:

We were going to go see the live action lilo and stitch, but apparently nobody had anything good to say about that. It just wasn't very good at all. So we thought, yeah, you know what? We'll wait for that to come out on streaming, but this is what we're going to do at the movies and up. Yeah, it was well worth. It was very, very well done and yeah, it's all about vikings and dragons and if you've got a kid, I'm sure you've seen it. If you've been a kid in the last 10-15 years, I'm sure you've seen it. So, yeah, it was well worth the effort to go to the movies. Not that I do that very often, it's not only in the kids movies or Marvel movies. So I'm keeping up with tradition. One day I'll actually go see in that proper grown-up movie. I don't know if that's going to happen any time soon. That would take me being an actual proper grown-up and I don't feel like doing that either. So I don't know, don't like the chance of that happening.

Speaker 2:

Josh went home around 4 o'clock on the Friday, since it was my weekend, kid-free apparently. But school holidays mix everything up. So on the Saturday I remember Leanne who had had French toast up at her sister's place but her nephew cooked the French toast for her and she was like that was so good. So she tried to remember the recipe and did French toast for her and she was like that was so good. So she, yeah, she tried to remember the recipe and did french toast for brunch for us and, oh my god, I've never had proper bloody french toast. So so big thumbs up to Sparrow for that and for Leanne for cooking it at my place. So, yeah, that was really good.

Speaker 2:

And then we had Indian food that night because Leanne and I have been binge-watching Red Dwarf and we were watching an episode where the last human alive, dave Lister, has run out of curry. So it's like a national emergency, an intergalactic emergency, whatever you want to call it. And so there was a curry monster and all this sort of shit and, yeah, it just reminded Leanne that she likes Indian food and curries and stuff. So we decided we would have enough for dinner and that was actually really cool. We found out that we liked the same sort of stuff with Indian foods and, oh man, I ate that next day. It was great. I forgot how much I enjoy Indian food too. So that will have to happen again. And there is actually a international red dwarf day and, if I remember correctly offhand, I think it was Feb 15th, so the day after Valentine's Day. So we're gonna have to remember that for next year.

Speaker 2:

Um, last weekend, the 25th and 26th, I believe it was the Friday, saturday night of July I had back-to-back wrestling shows for BCW battle championship wrestling. I'm sure I'd sort of talked a little bit about it, but I don't tend to talk too much about wrestling on here because I know it bores the crap out of a lot of people. I like it, I love it. I'm gonna keep doing it until I can't do it anymore, I guess, because, yeah, I'm 47. I can't do it anymore, I guess, because, yeah, I'm 47, four and a half, I guess. And yeah, I'm having more fun with it now than I have in years. So I'm actually branching out and going to different groups a bit now too, so you never know where I'll pop up. But yeah, both nights were good.

Speaker 2:

Leanne came to the first night. Yeah, she saw me get roughed up a little. She got to meet more people that she didn't meet the first time she came. Yeah, I think she had fun. I'm pretty sure she had fun. And then, yeah, her, josh and I came home on the Friday night. Her and Josh looked after me. On the Saturday. She taught Josh how to make French toast, why she supervised while he was doing a lot of things, and, yeah, they looked after me really well. But then, yeah, by the afternoon Leanne wasn't feeling the best, so a bit sore, so she went home, not a problem. She saw one of the two nights, so that was good.

Speaker 2:

Then I went and did the second night with Josh and, my goodness, back-to-back wrestling shows was interesting. It was a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong, I regret nothing. I just, yeah, just had lots of fun. As I said, I'd tell you more about it, but I know most of you don't care. But for those of you who do, I've decided I'm going to start back up the Dave Morgan referee Instagram page. I think it's called David Morgan Wrestling Ref. I think it's called, I can't remember. And yeah, I just started up today and I'm going to just put photos from 22 plus years of refereeing on there, so at least I have somewhere for them to go, and that way I'll just add wrestling people to that, and so you can pick out people from years and years and years ago and go oh my God, I refereed early matches of you and you and you and you and look at what we're all old now and it sucks. So, yeah, it should be a lot of fun and, as I said, I'm having a lot of fun with it again and I think my next show with them is like October, so I guess we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2:

Then I grab my pen and I write out a list Of all the people that I want. Baby, you've made my life a shitload. So I remember I think it was at the end of the last episode I mentioned that a couple of people have said, dave, you're not as entertaining now that you're being nice to people and being calm and shit. So I was talking to the board of directors for team wing it and, um, I may just do an episode of me just ranting because I've started writing a list of shit. That just pisses me off. So you know what? I may just do it just for shits and giggles, just to see if I still can do the old anger and just fucking rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, and who knows, it could be a bit therapeutic, a bit cathartic, could be a bit of fun actually. So I figure, you know what? Why the hell not? And let's see how many curse words I can fit into a, say, 10-minute podcast episode, shall we? Let's?

Speaker 1:

do it Forgive and forget. I am not the Lord and I don't have Alzheimer's. It's remember and revenge.

Speaker 2:

And before I go this time, you know what Two big deaths happened recently. Well, they get a lot of news Hulk Hogan from the world of wrestling and Ozzy Osbourne Now me, being a huge wrestling fan from God knows early 80s, I guess, when was WrestleMania 1 or 2? Yeah, the first WrestleMania I ever saw was Hulk Hogan in a steel cage against King Kong Bundy. Yeah, that was WrestleMania 2, I think that was 85. And I've been a wrestling fan ever since but for some reason never liked Hulk Hogan.

Speaker 2:

I was always Ultimate Warrior or Rowdy Ruddy Piper or Terry Funk or the people who had more of a character to them, just something a bit different. So look, and Hulk Hogan later on became a bit of a scumbag and, look it up, he was just a shithead. So I had I meh, don't care but Ozzy Osbourne, oh my God, that gutted me. I woke up on that Monday morning, saw that and I'm like, ah no, get fucked, that's just ruined my Monday, as if Mondays aren't bad enough. So because of that, I'm going to add an Ozzy Osbourne song to the end of this, and it's one that I didn't actually know existed until just recently. He did a song with Elton John called Ordinary man and it's a little different to what he normally does. And, to tell you the truth, I couldn't picture those two doing a song together. But it works well. So on that note, I'm going to say goodbye, I'm going to throw the song in here and I will see you all next episode. See you later.

Speaker 1:

I was unprepared for fame. Then everybody knew my name. No more lonely nights, it's all for you. I have traveled many miles. I've seen tears and I've seen smiles. Just remember that it's all for you. Don't forget me as the colors fade. When the lights go down, it's just an empty stage.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yes, I'll be Rebecca Been, higher than the blue sky. Okay, don't know why, I'm still alive. Yes, the truth is I don't wanna die An ordinary man. Many times I lost control. They tried to kill my rock and roll. Just remember, I'm still here for you. I don't wanna say goodbye. When I do, you'll be alright. After all, I did it all for you. Don't forgive me. That's the color to say, when the lights go down, it's just an empty stage. Okay, yes, I've been a bad girl Been, high on the blue sky. And the truth and lie that all I've done and all I've ever been, I've made from a cry Don't know, guitar solo. I'm going to die. The Heart of Every man. And they both cry, don't know why. I'm still alive. Yes, the truth is the Heart of Every man. Guitar solo. Oh, my God, thank you.
