Welcome everyone to the worst podcast ever.
SPEAKER_01:Hello there. It's me, Dave Morgan, and this is the Team Wing It podcast. We have made it to episode 12. We've slowly limped along. It's been a month and a half, because it was like August 12th, the last time I did a podcast, episode 11. And um look, I've done stuff and things for reasons, but uh I just haven't talked about them because I've had a life and enjoyed myself and gotten out and done stuff. So it's like oops, I always forget to do this because I remember at the start of the year going, yep, I'm gonna make an effort out of this instead of the half-assed effort I did with Morgan's meltdown. And then I found out that I'm having far too much fun without telling you all about this. So you know what? Oops, it's a mistake I hope to rectify. Because Leanne is trying to get me to spend more time doing this, and I always make excuses and I always want to hang out with her, and she's like, No, you need you time, you go do the podcast, you go do more videos, you do this, you do that. So, and she's a good egg, and she's all for the best. So that is why I am doing this. And um this week I did a video Saturday, I did a video last night. The podcast will be done today, which is Monday, and um then I'm hoping to do a taste test Tuesday video and a Wednesday with wings, or Wednesday with more wings, or whatever the hell I did my wings video. So let's face it, there could be like five or six things coming out this week, or what I should do is stagger them. So I've actually got some videos behind me to actually put out when I've had a slow week, but now and maybe I'll never bloody learn. I'll just rush it all out and go, everyone look at my shit and then hide for another month. I never learn.
SPEAKER_07:Name a reason a man thinks his wife looks as young as she did the day he married him. Alcohol. That's the best answer I've ever heard.
SPEAKER_01:So since the last podcast, um, Father's Day happened. And to tell you the truth, I couldn't be a father without this next guest. So Josh, say hello.
SPEAKER_04:Hello.
SPEAKER_01:Yep. And Josh, you always here for Father's Day weekend, which was very cool. I got to wake up to my boy being here. Leanne stayed the night too. And what did you and Leanne do for me for Father's Day?
SPEAKER_05:We uh made him breakfast. So it was toast, scrambled eggs for the French toast. Yeah, French toast with scrambled eggs and cheese and bacon.
SPEAKER_01:It was, and it was glorious.
SPEAKER_05:We also made him a special coffee.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. I got Kelly Coffee Beans, which is a really good brand of coffee, so and I had a plunger type apparatus type thingy. So Leanne and Josh did that, so they Wait, an actual co wait, an actual plunger? Not one that you do the toilet with. It's like, you know, that jar, the jug type thing with the black thing that the Yes. It's not like I'm using a a toilet plunger with coffee, you fool. But yeah, so in Father's Day went well, then we built some Lego.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. It was pretty fun, just father sonbonning time.
SPEAKER_01:Exactly. We just sort of chilled for the day. Leanne took off close to lunchtime to go see her dad.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And then my parents came around that afternoon, if you remember correctly.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, it was fun.
SPEAKER_01:Did any of the girls come around?
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Who?
SPEAKER_05:Kate and Liz.
SPEAKER_01:Kate and Liz. Cheese how good my memory is. So both oh, two of the three sisters came round, so Josh and Lizzie were hanging out. Kate was just annoying as normal, but that's right. We'll we'll deal with that. What else happened? Anything else exciting happened on Father's Day?
SPEAKER_05:Um, I don't recollect anything.
SPEAKER_01:Recollect Ooh, what a large word for a twelve year old. Look at you and your big brain. Oh yeah, you've turned twelve since the last podcast.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I have.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, the last podcast was August twelve and your birthday's August twenty-seventh. So you've now turned twelve.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So that means one more year and you're a teenager.
SPEAKER_05:Dang it.
SPEAKER_01:You're growing up.
SPEAKER_05:And uh say to the people that I'm going into high school next year.
SPEAKER_01:You are going into high school next year. Are you looking forward to that?
SPEAKER_05:Uh sort of nervous.
SPEAKER_01:I can understand that.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:What else do you want to say?
SPEAKER_05:Um my dad's an amazing dad, and I wouldn't change anything about him.
SPEAKER_01:Excellent. Except for his underwear. Everyone should change their underwear.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:It's always better to piss in the sink than to sink in the piss. Handle your business. Don't let the business handle you.
SPEAKER_01:So again, a few more weeks ago, and I don't remember which weekend, I could look it up, but I'm lazy. I did a wrestling show in Royville. And um, look, normally for the past probably eight years, I've only worked for one company, BCW. And um, yeah, it's nice to sort of branch out and work with new people and different people and the newbies and all these young talent that are still excited and rushing around and doing all the stuff. It's like the I remember being young and full of energy too, you little bastards. But that was lots of fun. I got to work with a mate of mine, Sid Parker, in the main event where he sprayed green mist in my face, and Leanne I got a photo with him after the fact. And his opponent, Jake Taylor, they had a hardcore match and or Jurassic Death match, or 'cause he's known as the Jurassic Punk Sid Parker. And he does this mohawk and face paint and he's like a dinosaur punk type character. I don't know. I've never fully understood it, but he's an awesome guy and he beats me up with alarming regularity and it's always fun to work with him. His opponent, Jake Taylor, was a huge guy who just enjoyed beating the shit out of Sid, so that was fun too. I worked a few other matches. There was one where it was six or eight no, it was six guys in there and it was elimination. And my God, working with six young guys was full of energy. My goodness gracious me. It's a good thing I tried to do cardio. It failed. I didn't actually do anything, but it's a good thing that I thought about. Otherwise I would have been completely stuffed. Um did another oh, a couple of other matches. In one match, I made another guy, Lucky A Leary. He sort of roughed me up a bit near the end. I don't know why these young kids like to rough me up. I keep coming back. Why the hell not? But yes, coming up soon, I think there's a BCW event August 23rd or something, or 24th, something or other. I'm sure I'm gonna talk about that again soon. And just in case anyone feels like coming.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know, I just feel like we should be allowed one assault charge a week, do you feel me? If more people got punched in the mouth, less people would act away to do it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying violence is the answer, I'm just saying that the world is overpopulated with dumbasses that be punched in the mouth. Do you feel me? So if we were just legally allowed to punch one motherfucker in the mouth a week, the world would be a better place.
SPEAKER_01:A few weeks ago, Leanne and I made the trip up to whoop whoop, somewhere up in the bush somewhere, where her sister lives, and her niece lives, and the niece had a baby recently, and I got to meet a six-week-old little Theo, and it was quite fun. Like I got my little cuddles in, it's like, oh, so cute. And then at this point, Leanne, Jane, Vicki, they all went out for a smoke. And I'm like, why am I stuck holding the baby? Well, Vicky, which is Theo's mum, goes, Ha, no baxies, and she ran off. She was quite enjoying the fact that Theo was in my arms, he'd just fallen asleep, he just did not care that a totally strange man was just holding me, woke up a couple of times, looked at me like, Huh, okay, I'm warm, I'm comfortable, I don't give a rat's ass, and went back to sleep. So it was actually really fun. And I'm looking down at this little critter and going, Aww. I remember when Josh was that big. Now you've got a lot beer and a lot more attitude. CEO's gonna grow up to this attitude, and that will be Ricky's payback, ha ha ha, for the no baxy's comments. But no, that was lots of fun. I enjoyed that. It's always good, because I'm sure I've explained on this podcast, Leanne's sister Jane. She and I were my best friends through high school, so it's always good to catch up with her too. But now I've had photos with Jane, uh, with her daughter Vicky, with the other child Sparrow, and now Vicki's son, Theo. So I'm getting photos with all the generations of the family. So this family will forever be haunted by me. Ha ha ha ha.
SPEAKER_03:You know, when Andy Warhol said in the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, he didn't mean it was a good fucking idea.
SPEAKER_01:Another thing I've been getting into recently is plants. Mostly indoor plants. And I've actually been enjoying this. And um by some fluke, I picked up some fertilizer type shit ages ago, because I had plans on doing stuff. And like most of my plans, I sort of forget, leave them in the garage and fucking forget about them. So it was a case of eh. But Lee Ann's come along and done some cuttings and all that, and I put this shit on my little plants, and uh it was actually a lawn fertilizer, which I didn't realise, and it has made these things go fucking bad shit crazy. I have I am creating a mini jungle in here, and I am enjoying it. So I now have outdoor plants and indoor plants, and I am creating my own little jungle. I have succulents and snake plants and um devil's ivy crawling around the joint and all sorts of stuff. So besides that and colouring because yes, we've been doing those colouring book type things for relaxation, I don't know what I've become. Definitely something different. But I've enjoying it. I'm enjoying getting my hands dirty and I've progressed from a black thumb to a yellow thumb to I'm on my way to a green thumb. Nothing's died in the house yet, so that's a good thing. I've kept Josh alive, so surely I can keep the plants alive. They've got to be easier to look after I've got to do more with Josh. I can't just water him and point him at the sun. I thought about it, but I wish I was gonna feed him every now and again. But I'm enjoying it. And if you want to see pictures or video of the plants that I've got, I did a weekend wrap-up and I talk about there and show pictures of the plants. So if you're interested, go to the Morgan uh not the Morgan's meltdown, fuck that thing's dead. Team Wing It channel and take a look there. The last weekend wrap-up. It will have my plants on there that I'm so proud of.
SPEAKER_04:If you kill a murderer, the number of murderers in the world does not decrease. During a nuclear explosion, there is a radius where all the frozen pizzas around them are cooked to perfection. You have never watched a full movie in your entire life. Because you're always blinking.
SPEAKER_01:So let's bring this thing to a grinding halt. Now, tomorrow I've been playing with my YouTube videos again and I've done a couple that are coming out. I'm thinking, how much fun would it be for me to do a cooking show? I don't know what in the blue hell I'd do, but I reckon I could make it entertaining. I could start with two man noodles. Yes. Boil the water, blah blah blah. I could have fun. But then I thought about the whole Wednesday wings or team wing it with more wings or whatever. I could actually do wings, cook them, and then do the Wednesday wings. Or whatever the show's called. So I'm thinking I could have fun with this. I could do that. I don't know what possessed me to think like this, but it could be fun. Anyway, let's get out of here. Now the song I'm putting on the end of this is The Longest Time by Me First and The Gimme Gimmies. Originally this song was done by Billy Joel, and that's a version everyone would know. But this one I like a bit more, just because it's a bit more upbeat and a bit more rock and punk and type thing. So I thought, you know what? Bugger. This is the version we're going with. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And um, yeah. Hopefully it's not a month and a half until the next one. Hopefully, Leanne gets my button gear because let's face it, I require supervision. Alright, on that note, see you later, everyone.
