Speaker 3: I suppose you can go sailing on the lake, can't you?

Speaker 3: A jamboree in Fiji.
Speaker 2: Jamboree in Fiji. So there's like a New Zealand.

Speaker 2: The thing is the only terms I've ever been to
Speaker 2: the islands either fucking boy Scouts or Treasure Island.
Speaker 3: So you've never gone there, and just like at.
Speaker 1: All year, can eat no resort.
Speaker 2: So I went to the jamboree in Fiji and I
Speaker 2: got on a like argument with another scout another boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah those islands. They really got into a fight with
Speaker 2: a fellow scout. And then this is very unscout like behavior.
Speaker 2: You pushed me over a little ship.
Speaker 3: There would definitely not be part of the code of ethics.
Speaker 2: Pushed me over, I fell backwards. I landed on my
Speaker 2: elbow on a tent pig shattered my elbow. The only
Speaker 2: bottom I've ever broken my elbow in Fiji on a
Speaker 2: scout jemboree.
Speaker 3: There is did you reckon that? That person just spent
Speaker 3: their life being like, oh god, I remember times iping
Speaker 3: bit of a dick in my life when I was younger,
Speaker 3: I did this thing and then.
Speaker 2: I hope so I hope you remind me own but
Speaker 2: not funny, funny, nothing funny about it.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: Now, just before we get into this podcast, we've got
Speaker 3: some unfortunately sad news that's developed today, and I think
Speaker 3: we should just address it early in the pace because
Speaker 3: I think it's worthy of saying the right honorable for
Speaker 3: former National Party minister Nicki Kay has passed away today.
Speaker 3: And I know that some people might be like, oh,
Speaker 3: what has that got to do with your podcast? Well,
Speaker 3: she was quite the ally old Nicky Kay, a huge ally,
Speaker 3: a massive ally. She crossed the floor on quite a
Speaker 3: few gay issues across her time. She's a huge supporter
Speaker 3: of a lot of Rainbow organizations. She always threw her
Speaker 3: weight behind a bunch of things to support our wider community.
Speaker 3: And we knew that she did cancer and she kind
Speaker 3: of seemed to have like she'd got a bit better,
Speaker 3: but obviously has gone down hele and is today passed away.
Speaker 3: And I, yeah, I just think that's really says said moment.
Speaker 2: I got to meet her quite a few times over
Speaker 2: the years, Like just in my role on TVNZ, we
Speaker 2: used to do a segment on breakfast called young Guns
Speaker 2: where we had like some of the younger politicians.
Speaker 1: We had like Simon Bridges, was on there.
Speaker 2: Just Dern was a young gun at one point, Paula
Speaker 2: Bennett was a young gun at one point, and Nikki
Speaker 2: Kay was one of our young guns.
Speaker 1: So I got to meet her quite a few times.
Speaker 2: Over the years, and she was just always so kind
Speaker 2: and very very thoughtful and passionate but really cared about
Speaker 2: about the issues that she was proud about. But also
Speaker 2: I always felt like she put people over politics, like
Speaker 2: she wasn't She wasn't a career politician. She really was
Speaker 2: in there because she truly wanted to make a difference
Speaker 2: for people. And regardless of what you thought of her
Speaker 2: politics or the party that she represent entered, she was
Speaker 2: she always cared deeply about people. Yeah, and so yeah,
Speaker 2: very sad to hear that news today.
Speaker 3: Really sad well, sending lots of att hard to her
Speaker 3: Fano and friends who yet no doubt. Yeah, pretty upset,
Speaker 3: but thanks Chris.
Speaker 1: How are you boys? Otherwise good?
Speaker 3: I think I'm getting towards surviving November. I feel like
Speaker 3: maybe is worse than December. I feel like everyone's just like,
Speaker 3: let's do a this ship early and other time December
Speaker 3: comes around, it calms down a little bit. Or am
Speaker 3: I just being a bit optimistic.
Speaker 1: No, I think I think you're right. I think you're right.
Speaker 3: But it's it is the silly season. Oh, it is
Speaker 3: so silly. It's quite the plava.
Speaker 1: That is quite the pluma.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Hell, your weeen kicks off and it I think it
Speaker 1: starts from mere right, Yeah, yeah, the silly season. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, so yeah, I tend to agree.
Speaker 3: Tell you what, though, one from in front of the other.
Speaker 3: That's how it feels. I actually feel a little bit
Speaker 3: like I was thinking today about our dear friend and
Speaker 3: producer Jodes, who used to say to us, oh, oh, boys,
Speaker 3: go for a gold in the busy Olympics.
Speaker 1: This week is the Olympic? Yeah, is the Olympics.
Speaker 3: Yep, And I reckon, I reckon. That's what I'm aiming
Speaker 3: for this week. I think at the moment, I'm probably
Speaker 3: just like if it wise, I'm going for a gold
Speaker 3: achievement wise, probably the silver.
Speaker 1: He's still on the podium, absolutely on the podium.
Speaker 3: But she's been busy, and I don't want to make
Speaker 3: that my personality trait, but that's been a little bit
Speaker 3: of a a character a character trait of myself over
Speaker 3: the last last week. While but apart from that, you know,
Speaker 3: what positive do you do?
Speaker 4: You do?
Speaker 2: You bite off more than you can choose? Sometimes?
Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Is it like a classic Chris thing too?
Speaker 3: I can't Yeah, I can't help myself. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 3: am my own worst thing of me when it comes
Speaker 3: to it. Obviously, I had some professional responsibilities, which I
Speaker 3: think probably causes a little bit of a bit of that.
Speaker 3: But is I like to say to myself, this is
Speaker 3: my little pep talk I give myself in the morning
Speaker 3: if I think about the busyness and what's going on,
Speaker 3: and you know, here I am busy day at work
Speaker 3: and then coming and recording a podcast with you guys
Speaker 3: and then off to some drinks tonight. If my fifteen
Speaker 3: year olds i've heard me it' say one mony thing
Speaker 3: about what my life is like at the moment, they'd
Speaker 3: kick me in the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. And at that time where you do start
Speaker 1: reflecting because you think on new year and news is
Speaker 1: coming up, and that's the stuff. I sort of had
Speaker 1: similar thoughts as well. So yeah, I bite off more
Speaker 1: than I can chew. And sometimes and actually I look
Speaker 1: back and think, fuck, look at where you've come from,
Speaker 1: look at what you're doing, and it's pretty cool, you know.
Speaker 3: From stealing me out of a woman's freezer to hosting
Speaker 3: an LGBT podcast.
Speaker 1: With us, I mean a gbt Q plus Pope podcast.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's great, isn't it. Yeah? Having to catch cray
Speaker 3: up the no babies knowing by thousands of people all
Speaker 3: over the more too.
Speaker 2: I may have recruited a new listener today.
Speaker 3: Every year I might have welcome.
Speaker 2: Have I told you about how I've been cheating on barbers?
Speaker 1: So the new barber?
Speaker 3: Have you cheated?
Speaker 1: Like? Have you?
Speaker 3: Have you actually broken up with the barber and have
Speaker 3: decided to go to the new one?
Speaker 1: It was, it was It was always meant to just
Speaker 1: be a one off fling.
Speaker 3: It's how it normally starts.
Speaker 1: It starts.
Speaker 2: It's a slippery slope. But I had a good time,
Speaker 2: enjoyed myself. You connected connected, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Mean that your other barber obviously like very unavailable, quite distant,
Speaker 3: sort of pushing you away totally.
Speaker 2: And I was, yeah, you know what, And I just
Speaker 2: I felt like I started to get something from this
Speaker 2: from this barber, you dick.
Speaker 3: Rub We all laugh because it's so true.
Speaker 1: TikTok. Maybe last week week before, maybe around and you know,
Speaker 1: pops up ere now and again on my algorithm. Algorithm,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but you you know, sitting
Speaker 1: at the barbers and the barber said, the barber isn't
Speaker 1: on it, and you know, the boys got their elbows
Speaker 1: out trying to, you know, and the barber just sort
Speaker 1: of rubs.
Speaker 2: The old pen on the elbow or the funny bone,
Speaker 2: funny bone on the bone. I didn't get one of
Speaker 2: those from this guy. But there's still time.
Speaker 3: You know, may probably treats you with respects, totally totally.
Speaker 1: For now, consentual.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but god, maybe you'll be calling me a little
Speaker 2: slap before.
Speaker 3: We know it. You know, haven't he listened to this.
Speaker 1: Look out for the elbows, keep you keep your hands
Speaker 1: in your anyway.
Speaker 2: So I went to see this guy once and then
Speaker 2: I thought, that's I'm going to return to my old barber.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I've scratched the itch. I'm ready to I'm ready
Speaker 3: to settle back down. No one needs to know, no.
Speaker 1: One needs to know. It's a one time thing. This
Speaker 1: can just stay between us.
Speaker 2: But then, of course, so because when I used to
Speaker 2: go to my old barber at the end of the session,
Speaker 2: i'd always book my next hair cut in right. But
Speaker 2: because I hadn't gone to him and I'd gone to
Speaker 2: this new guy, I hadn't booked the next apploytment with
Speaker 2: my old barber. And then when the time came around,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty regular, like a four weeker. Oh yeah, four weeks,
Speaker 2: I'll get a new haircut. So when the four weeks
Speaker 2: came around, I thought, shit, I never actually booked him
Speaker 2: with the old barber. And then of course I went
Speaker 2: to booking with him, fully booked. I couldn't get him
Speaker 2: the silly season the others so I couldn't get him
Speaker 2: with him. So then I went crawling back to the
Speaker 2: one night stand and said do you have any room
Speaker 2: for me? And he said absolutely, I can squeeze you
Speaker 2: in great, had a great time with you last time.
Speaker 2: Come back indoors open, just squeeze you win.
Speaker 1: Great to squeeze you win.
Speaker 3: So shut it behind her on the bed.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: So then I went back and stow him a second time.
Speaker 2: And then of course same thing happened again, and I
Speaker 2: forgot to book him with the old barber again, and
Speaker 2: so this week I thought, here's getting long le the
Speaker 2: haircuts today, went back to the guy. So three times.
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, you're gonna I think you need to. I
Speaker 3: think you need to admit it, and you need to
Speaker 3: break out with this other barber.
Speaker 1: Do you break up or do you just ghost? Funny? Funny?
Speaker 1: You should bring this up because I had a haircut
Speaker 1: last Thursday and I've cheated on my barber for the
Speaker 1: last six months. We've heard about it, you know, so
Speaker 1: and I was like, what I can I go beat?
Speaker 1: What's the conversation with me? With your bet? We have
Speaker 1: you been getting haircuts?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So what did you do?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I haven't gone back. No. I think you just need
Speaker 3: to know. Life's too short for not following your heart.
Speaker 3: So I think is the courtesy tags. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've been seeing him for a long time.
Speaker 2: I have been seeing him for a long time. And
Speaker 2: then just be straight up, but I'm enjoying the new guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh fuck it. Then just you know, get short like.
Speaker 2: Anyway, this was all a little diversion to say. I
Speaker 2: told the new Guy about the podcast very well. We're
Speaker 2: listening right now. So anyway, thanks for a good time.
Speaker 2: It was fun and I'll see you again soon. Planet

Speaker 2: I'm going to out him online, which is just I
Speaker 2: just think, no matter no matter what you know, I
Speaker 2: don't I'm not privy to.
Speaker 1: What has gone on between these two people.
Speaker 2: No matter what happens, no matter how angry you are
Speaker 2: at someone, no matter how personal it gets. With a
Speaker 2: breakup and break ups, it can be ugly. You know,
Speaker 2: I just think this is not the way.
Speaker 1: That you do it.
Speaker 2: Do it that is such personal news that you know,
Speaker 2: we've talked a lot about that on this podcast. You
Speaker 2: have to come out when you are ready to come out.
Speaker 2: That is your story to tell, and it's not anyone
Speaker 2: else's story to tell. And I just think it's really
Speaker 2: sad that that that is he has been forced to
Speaker 2: address this very personal thing about him because someone else
Speaker 2: has taken that story out of his hands.
Speaker 3: Definitely not somebody else's story to tell. No. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: now that it's happened, I watched some of the comments
Speaker 3: about how he's played it, hopefully a little bit at
Speaker 3: peace about it and kind of being honest and would
Speaker 3: like everyone to move on.
Speaker 2: And to his to his credit, he has he said
Speaker 2: I was never hiding anything. I just this was just
Speaker 2: no one's business. You know, I was living my life
Speaker 2: quite happily and healthily. I just didn't feel the need
Speaker 2: to talk about it publicly. And that is absolutely his prerogative.
Speaker 2: So it's not like he's been shamefully hiding the secret,
Speaker 2: which just wasn't a part of his life he wanted
Speaker 2: to share with people and have We talked about this
Speaker 2: on the show before, about how celebrities there's there is
Speaker 2: this thing where I think you feel like you are
Speaker 2: owed everything absolutely from a celebrity, and we're absolutely not.
Speaker 2: We are not owed anything, let alone everything. So if
Speaker 2: you if you're a celebrity and you want to keep
Speaker 2: something personal and private, you are absolutely entitled to do that,
Speaker 2: especially around your sexuality. But how am I welcome?
Speaker 3: Come on and on?
Speaker 1: And the water is fine being very popular there.
Speaker 3: There's been some great people coming and getting in the
Speaker 3: party recently. Sure, and Mendy is coming, well, you know
Speaker 3: he's dept is depest toe in the water. We got
Speaker 3: Khalid in I see our brother Teaks has got a
Speaker 3: beautiful video with him with a lovely little in it too.
Speaker 1: One not Mendys or ticket free tickets to Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: Oh do you want? I'm sure Mindy is sorry.
Speaker 2: I think I'd take the Taylor Swift tickets.
Speaker 1: To go to Taylors with concerts. Yeah, okay, because this
Speaker 1: is in the dark. Was on train, sorry, and it
Speaker 1: was just seemed the right time. One night with Tom
Speaker 1: Daily or free tickets to Beyonce. Oh, you're picking the
Speaker 1: wrong people. This is what the instagram is feeding, right, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and that those are two very good examples of what
Speaker 1: what's been fed.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the tickets to Beyonce, but then
Speaker 2: maybe for the story, I just feel like Tom and
Speaker 2: I would be obviously similar. Elk, yeah, okay, do you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? I do know what you mean,
Speaker 2: and I'm just not sure that we would be able
Speaker 2: to provide anything to the other one that would be
Speaker 2: of much use.
Speaker 3: No, fair enough bumping and grinding around.
Speaker 1: Chris hems like tortoises.
Speaker 3: No, I'm long on my stomach. I'm long on my stomach.
Speaker 1: Awkward toodle Chris m Daily or tickets to Beyonce or
Speaker 1: definitely don't okay cool Chris Hemsworth or tickets to Adele Chris.
Speaker 2: Now you're thinking a ol maybe Yeah. See this is
Speaker 2: that it all comes down to the person.
Speaker 1: It really does.
Speaker 3: What about David ni or a Sunday afternoon session at Wicked?
Speaker 1: Oh hello David, Hello David. A photo We the group

Speaker 1: we won't let the world know that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, but just for our benefits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now ver again, they haven't seen it because obviously,
Speaker 3: like I mean, m covers a shot to nobody, we're
Speaker 3: not tagged in these stories of David, so we can't
Speaker 3: share them to our story to shop what they're about.
Speaker 3: But maybe Bread, would you be able to just give it,
Speaker 3: like a little explanation of what was in the photo,
Speaker 3: maybe even the composition that the photo was taken in.
Speaker 1: Mid drift, chicken skin, teddy, si titty, what really stuck
Speaker 1: out for you? Though?
Speaker 3: He's got anady?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know this it's hot. It's a really hot,
Speaker 1: really hot, just halo everything. And I tell you what
Speaker 1: he looks after his boods, doesn't he he's really passionate
Speaker 1: about his boods.
Speaker 3: Because he's got no cock around.
Speaker 1: So there'll be three around there and oh, becoming home
Speaker 1: to roost head.
Speaker 3: I've got something to share with the group. Guess what
Speaker 3: I did in the weekend.
Speaker 1: What could it's been?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Have you said you've seen wicked?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've I finished my Christmas shopping in November. I
Speaker 3: haven't even started. It's a slight lie because I realized
Speaker 3: this morning is on the way to work, I was like,
Speaker 3: I've definitely got everyone. I've got anything all sorted than
Speaker 3: I thought to myself. You've got two very important people
Speaker 3: in your life. I've taught you two to go. But
Speaker 3: you guys require a lot of thought to make your
Speaker 3: ultimate birthday gifts Christmas gifts.
Speaker 2: I've got an idea. But it is I've had this
Speaker 2: idea for quite a while.
Speaker 1: Now, who's it for?
Speaker 2: I might actually be getting you both very similar gifts
Speaker 2: but slightly slightly adapted.
Speaker 5: Okay, but I it's I've just even a large I've
Speaker 5: just remembered it was, and it's not a it's not
Speaker 5: a clique. No, you can't tell us because it's good.
Speaker 3: It's prime.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, I know.
Speaker 2: But what this is just reminded me. If I'm going
Speaker 2: to get it, I need to get onto it now.
Speaker 2: Don't outdigate it.
Speaker 1: No no, no, never, that's a good term. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a great no. Never.
Speaker 3: So it's almos. Christmas shopping is done. However, I do
Speaker 3: a little bone to peck with society. Mean so, I
Speaker 3: can't remember whether we talked about this last year, but
Speaker 3: it's definitely got worse, you know, in the old Cozi
Speaker 3: living crisis and everything's expencing and all that sort of shit.
Speaker 3: Do you know how hard it is to try and
Speaker 3: buy a present for your sort of like family secret
Speaker 3: center that is at the nominal price of fifty dollars?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: There is fuck all out there. There's fifty bucks. That's
Speaker 3: not absolute tach garbage. Yeah, yeah, I there was. I've
Speaker 3: got so I'm trying to make out whether people listen
Speaker 3: to this or not. There's two I would have buy
Speaker 3: two by two to fifty dollars presents and my partner's
Speaker 3: family secret center. And I just was like looking at it,
Speaker 3: and I was like, am I going to buy something
Speaker 3: that's absolutely like it's just shit? Or am I just
Speaker 3: going to break the rules and go up about higher
Speaker 3: so that I can actually get something that somebody that
Speaker 3: means something to somebody. I'd break the kind of cares.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would break the life bak the rules.
Speaker 3: I think seventy five is the new fifty when it
Speaker 3: comes to it.
Speaker 2: When it comes to it, you know what we've got
Speaker 2: to do for our work Christmas party? Twenty dollars?
Speaker 3: Twenty dollars?
Speaker 1: Fuck? Am I getting for twenty dollars?
Speaker 3: It's what I'm not gonna be in the landfall in
Speaker 3: thirty seconds to look.
Speaker 2: At the chocolate is like twenty bucks these days.
Speaker 3: I remember there's something worse like then, how do you? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think about something that has thoughts like
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't find something that's twenty dollars. There
Speaker 3: has thought unless it's just rude and silly, which I
Speaker 3: suppose maybe it's the point, maybe, but.
Speaker 2: It's also a work colleague, I'm going to get this
Speaker 2: for us.
Speaker 1: Do you know who it is? Or do I know
Speaker 1: who it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But also so you've got to be semi professional,
Speaker 2: don't true, but also thoughtful and funny for twenty dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, push me last what a pilava?
Speaker 2: What a pilava? That's the word of that. I think
Speaker 2: it might be. It's gonna definitely be integrated into the
Speaker 2: title of the year.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah. So I mean I'm gonna throw it outs
Speaker 3: out to the gators because I feel like a lot
Speaker 3: of our gators excuse me, would be responsible for buying
Speaker 3: all the Christmas presents in their house, which is your
Speaker 3: good point actually segueing here, and I feel like, actually
Speaker 3: propects this is a more a question for you, for
Speaker 3: you bread right, since you've become a married man. Yeah,
Speaker 3: do you still segregate who like that you have, sorry,
Speaker 3: the responsibility for Christmas present buying? Like is Ryan have
Speaker 3: to buy for people on his side of the family
Speaker 3: and you buy for your side of the family, but
Speaker 3: for both of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's probably generally how it goes, although.
Speaker 3: I feel like a Hittory world, it's like you must
Speaker 3: get married and it's like you're your responsibility wife.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Yeah, I think this is generally He'll
Speaker 2: do his family, I'll do mine. But then occasionally I'll
Speaker 2: be like, right, I've got some time up high sleeve.
Speaker 2: I'll go get the kids. Because it's we don't we're
Speaker 2: pretty minimal in terms of who we do presents for,
Speaker 2: so like our family, for example, this year of my
Speaker 2: family have said we're not doing presents, but we're all
Speaker 2: together at Christmas time, so we're just going to go
Speaker 2: and do something nice as a family together.
Speaker 1: After we catch up on Christmas morning breakfast, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, breakfast, sorry to breakfast mimosas the three of us,
Speaker 2: and then we'll go and do family stuff. And then
Speaker 2: we only really get presents for Ryan's nieces and nephews.
Speaker 2: A bit cheaper, yeah it does, yeah, easier.
Speaker 3: A little bit entertain medical on the morning.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: I honestly don't care. Christmas is so not about gifts
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 2: But we do do fun little thing is our family.
Speaker 2: We play this game where you get little presents, silly
Speaker 2: little presents, and we put them in the middle and
Speaker 2: you roll the dice and if you land on a
Speaker 2: sex you get to pull one of the presents from
Speaker 2: the middle. It's very fun. We play this fun little game.
Speaker 1: How do you go with that? Even you're quite competitive.
Speaker 2: Horrible, because my whole family knows I'm very competitive, and
Speaker 2: my brother and sister always gang up on me because
Speaker 2: you're allowed to steal presents from people, and I'm constantly
Speaker 2: being targeted. So I might need to actually have a
Speaker 2: little chat to my sister pre game and almost form like.
Speaker 1: A little lion and a lion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice getting off for my brother this year because
Speaker 2: she's always safe because she's the little sister.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm every in your family home for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother's bringing his girlfriend home.
Speaker 1: And the family chat.
Speaker 2: She's not in the family chat yet, but he's in
Speaker 2: her family chat. But I think what will happen is
Speaker 2: because she has met mom and dad and my sister.
Speaker 2: She hasn't met me and Ryan yet, So I think
Speaker 2: post Christmas, having spent a bit of time together as
Speaker 2: a family and not just a one off, meat random meeting,
Speaker 2: I think that'll be.
Speaker 1: Group chat.
Speaker 3: Do you think that perhaps Tracy will either see it
Speaker 3: as a bad omen or she just do a tried
Speaker 3: and trude approach and just wait till they're just on the.
Speaker 2: Time, and like, dang on the time. This is for
Speaker 2: those who don't know. This is what happened to my husband,
Speaker 2: Ryan Firs Timmer. I brought him home for the weekend,
Speaker 2: sitting on the timeac flag home. Mom headed him to
Speaker 2: the family chat. Yeah, and he's been there ever since.
Speaker 2: So it did work. Yeah, but we also have had
Speaker 2: one awkward encounter where we added someone prematurely and had
Speaker 2: to remove, had to remove, So we don't want we
Speaker 2: don't want to repeat of that.
Speaker 3: I'm excited about Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm into it this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm into it this year. I'm going to purchase
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree this year because I'm we're hosting my
Speaker 1: mum's sister and little nephew. I'm quite fair, so I
Speaker 1: want to get a Christmas tree. And as you know,
Speaker 1: and the Gators will know that past Christmas is I'm
Speaker 1: usually a bit of a faxaate least get out and
Speaker 1: done with you. Yeah, I'm really embracing it this year.
Speaker 1: So you've got to put a tree up. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go and purchase a tree and put it up
Speaker 1: this weekend. I am aria I wander a fake run
Speaker 1: to be a fake one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you do? Real?
Speaker 1: Fake?
Speaker 3: Fake? Yeah? We bought a bigger one a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 1: Have you put yourself already?
Speaker 3: No, not yet.
Speaker 1: When you're putting an app it's December first, this weekend.
Speaker 3: Soon hopefully, and it came out of the roof earlier
Speaker 3: in the week.
Speaker 1: So thinker's cross cool. You know, I'm excited about Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm putting mine up this weekend. Ryan doesn't know it yet.
Speaker 3: I think it's totally acceptable though.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he's away doing an ocean swim up north
Speaker 2: on Saturday. So I'm going to take Saturday as my
Speaker 2: opportunity to put it up. And then when you get time,
Speaker 2: it's already going to be up. And what you're going
Speaker 2: to do about it.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna take down.
Speaker 2: Don't want to take it down because it's a pain
Speaker 2: in the ass. So it's gone up. Put on a
Speaker 2: Christmas movie. It's my little tradition for myself. Put on
Speaker 2: a Christmas movie, pour myself a glass wine.

Speaker 2: the podcast, we said, we don't ever ask for people
Speaker 2: to do ratings or us you know, a review or
Speaker 2: anything like that, but we would love you too because
Speaker 2: it would help get the word out for the podcast,
Speaker 2: and we want as many Gators as possible to listen.

Speaker 2: We're almost three years into this podcast. Let's do a
Speaker 2: little review. How are we going any feedback? Is it
Speaker 2: anything that we need to know about, anything we can
Speaker 2: improve on? And the Gators have come to the.
Speaker 1: Party with some feedback.
Speaker 3: They did, most certainly did. And also I was a
Speaker 3: bit nervous about the feedback, but I shouldn't have been
Speaker 3: because everyone was so nice.
