Speaker 3: Yeah.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 4: Xander, By the way, you need to go listen to

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 4: the I'm sure everyone has listened, but that is my

11
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 4: favorite episode we have ever done.

12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: Producer x as known on Big Business and then here

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: will be known as Google Girl. Welcome back, Xander.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 5: Thank you. I will edit in some applause.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: Okay, gorgeous. Well you could do whatever you want now, Darlin.

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: You know what Scrollers.

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 6: If the episodes go downhill, I'll tell you what we

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 6: will record. And one of the episodes and Xander we

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 6: got to thirty five minutes and Xander said, yeah, you

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 6: can wrap up now. I said, absolutely fucking not, because

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 6: you know other podcasts usually sit around the thirty minute mark.

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 6: But I said, our Scrollers want forty five minute main episode.

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: So I said, the close friends can be sure. But

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: I thought today would be a good chance to just

25
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: introduce you.

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: To the Scrollers.

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Obviously, Tuesday's episode was a bit of a piss take,

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: so we didn't really get to know you too much.

29
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: I think the most interesting thing we got was your

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: favorite dinosaur from the Land before Time, So yeah, yeah, I.

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: Made that up.

32
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 4: So tell us a bit about yourself. And people know

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: that he's from the Central Coast?

34
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: Did we say that?

35
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: Like you're a coast originally originally a Coasty.

36
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 4: Which I feel like is like that ties in strongly

37
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: to Scrollers because we have so many listeners on like

38
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 4: in Newie and Central Coast.

39
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 6: I feel yeah, so yeah, I'm Xander or producer ex

40
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,240

00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 6: I was born in Sydney, moved to the Coast, and

45
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,800

Speaker 5: I'm thirty three, are you?

56
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,360

Speaker 4: of anyone's birthday being there.

63
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

64
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 6: I like it because it's like just enough time after

65
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 6: Christmas that everyone can afford a present.

66
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 3: Again.

67
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: Oh, you know what, that's actually a thing that I

68
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 4: was talking about with I don't know who the other day,

69
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 4: but AJ's mum's birthday is I think either the twenty

70
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: first or twenty second of December. Yeah, so it's just

71
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: those few days before Christmas and you know, like those

72
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: few days before Christmas, like you've clocked off work for

73
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: the year and you're not really doing anything.

74
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

75
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480

76
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: birthday in late December will be coming at me. But

77
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,600

Speaker 4: you just a really expensive nice gift And she guys, Nap,

80
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: it's got to be too separate. And I know that's

81
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: a thing for people that's birthday is like really close

82
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: to Christmas, Like it's always got to be separate because

83
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: that would have sucked growing up as a kid.

84
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Imagine if your birthday's on like Christmas.

85
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 6: Eve, it'd be hard to make plans though, Like every year,

86
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 6: everyone's always like Christmas plans, family plans.

87

Speaker 4: are you forgetting something?

119
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: I held on to it, and then I have to

120
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: go back and find the episode. I haven't listened to

121
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,600

122
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: Good morning Matthew, and You're like, good morning, love, and

123
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,440

124
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: to it.

125
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, I had a good weekend. Yeah

126
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: I for Did you forget it?

127
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 4: No?

128
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: You said something along line so well, Matt, I just

129
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: want to go back to when you made such a

130
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: big deal about your birthday and then I went.

131
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: You went fucking pale.

132
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: Made a social bit out of it and everything.

133
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went pale because I was so mortified that

134
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: I'd forgotten. But now it's just a running thing, like

135
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: I will forget your Sander, I will forget everyone's And

136
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: I think I just need to be known for forgetting

137
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: birthdays and just move on because it's too hard.

138
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 6: I think, like everyone, I feel like everyone relies on

139
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 6: Facebook now she remember people's birthdays, and.

140
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: I don't go on there.

141
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 4: No.

142
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 6: I deleted my Facebook like last year for the first

143
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 6: time I had to have Facebook since I was in

144
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 6: like year nine, and every year I'd always get all

145
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: like the birthday messages, even like text messages.

146
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 5: Everything. Deleted Facebook this year, fucking crickets.

147
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I literally got maybe one message, maybe one Instagram like.

148
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: Get older though, Like I couldn't give a shit who

149
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: says happy birthday?

150
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 6: No, But it was just such a big difference from

151
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 6: like the overwhelming birthdays to the and you expect it.

152
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 5: And then this year I was like, fucking no one remembered. Yes,

153
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: that's because I'm not on Facebook anymore.

154
00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, bloody Facebook, tell us a little bit more about yourself, Xander, Like,

155
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 7: obviously we know you already, but tell the scrollers a

156
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 7: little bit about yourself.

157
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 5: So I used to be a professional dancer back in

158
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: the day.

159
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 6: So I used to be an Irish dance I used

160
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 6: to do with Riverdance, if anyone's aware of that show,

161
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden on tour after tour,

00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: this episode that we never crossed paths, but we absolutely

367
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: did cross paths while he was a Did we see

368
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,239

00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: No, really, I've been waiting for you to get I've

374
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: been waiting for you to get to this part of

375
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: the story because at the start of this episode, you go,

376
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: we never crossed paths, and I go, yeah, we did,

377
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: and it was when you were a SECRUI. So I

378
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: was like waiting for you to get to that point,

379
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: that part. But anyway, you can retract your statement because yeah,

380
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: the beer is some Florida beach bar at Terry gull Or,

381
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: it's got.

382
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: A million different names. It's something else now.

383
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 6: But we literally would go out and your group and

384
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 6: my group were not together at the beery.

385
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 5: No, I have no memory of this.

386
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Because you were probably drunk.

387
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: Yeah probably yeah, yeah that I mean three times, like, yeah,

388
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,160

393
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: because I know people who work there and I'll tell

394
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: you the connections after this episode. But you'll know the

395
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,240
