Speaker 1: Is It Just Me Podcast by a couple of mitches. Okay,
Speaker 1: are we ready for the second installment of our hobby
Speaker 1: Hunt series? Yes?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately you weren't sold on our first installment. I tried
Speaker 2: to convince you to join one of my bar classes
Speaker 2: because I loved them. I can't get enough.
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be like a candy
Speaker 1: bar making was definitely.
Speaker 3: Getting your RSA a bar class, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Definitely, or just like you know, had monkey bars all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's interesting this time we were both trying
Speaker 2: something brand new. First time, it was me introducing you
Speaker 2: to something I love, but this was something new to
Speaker 2: both of us.
Speaker 3: It was a pottery class.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's something that I've wanted to do for
Speaker 1: a very very long time. Very excited. So shall we
Speaker 1: roll the second edition of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get into it. Tiger.
Speaker 1: Wow, for get how awful that was. It was really terrible,
Speaker 1: but the pottery was really like when we got there,
Speaker 1: the three of us were there and the studio, the
Speaker 1: vibes were immaculately.
Speaker 2: You say, we went along to Silky Shapes Studio in
Speaker 2: Crow's Nest, which is our North Sydney and your Ghana
Speaker 2: was there. She was absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 1: God, she was just at one with that clay. She
Speaker 1: was just an extension of that dirty, dirty mud. The
Speaker 1: thing about pottery, though, is, and I think maybe we'll
Speaker 1: hear this, it was so meditative, like I felt truly
Speaker 1: like because your foot is on a pedal as if
Speaker 1: you're driving, your hands are on the clay, your brain
Speaker 1: is looking at the clay, you're listening to a teacher.
Speaker 1: You and I were talking, so all I could think
Speaker 1: about was that clay in that moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so we'll play you how it went. As
Speaker 3: per usual.
Speaker 2: There will be a video to go with this as
Speaker 2: well Monday afternoon on our Instagram at couple of mitches
Speaker 2: is where you can see the video.
Speaker 3: So firstly, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Can I just paint a picture? Sorry, or molded a piece?
Speaker 1: Don't have the lingo down fold some wet dirt, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Mitch and I are wearing sculpting aprons, which
Speaker 1: are black aprons that come how in your bodies, but
Speaker 1: then they split at the dick, so then they so
Speaker 1: then they can drape both thighs because you are literally
Speaker 1: straddling what looks like a combustion engine with one pedal,
Speaker 1: and then it's wet covered full of water, and you've
Speaker 1: got a spinny dish like a microwave up without a
Speaker 1: lid on it, and you've got a pot of clay
Speaker 1: and we're sitting there spread eagle, so Mitch's left knee
Speaker 1: is touching my right knee very centrally.
Speaker 2: By the way, when you watch the video, one thing
Speaker 2: you'll notice is that you and I both wore black.
Speaker 3: And then because you Gana had.
Speaker 2: This like bookcase with drying pottery behind it in garbage bag. Yes,
Speaker 2: so it wasn't overly esthetic, it wasn't pretty. And so
Speaker 2: she goes, let me put a sheet up behind you,
Speaker 2: which was a black sheet, and we were already wearing
Speaker 2: black clothes. So this video like, God, bless your gard
Speaker 2: it. It looks so scabby, but it's fine. We had fun.
Speaker 2: So we should we take a listen now. Yes, So
Speaker 2: first off, this was the very start of the class.
Speaker 2: We met your Gana. Obviously she showed us how to
Speaker 2: use the wheel, and so we hadn't even touched the
Speaker 2: clay yet, and yet you just went full ball on
Speaker 2: that pedal and the clay went flying.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Here we are in silky shapes in crows and estimach.
Speaker 1: How do you feel I'm really nervous. Actually I'm not.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm going to really nail this. I
Speaker 4: want to.
Speaker 2: Nail it, but I just feel that I won't. And
Speaker 2: I'm going to take it really personally. If your pot's
Speaker 2: better than mine, shall we begin?
Speaker 4: Shall we make something?
Speaker 3: Yes, you're gona here. She's going to show us how
Speaker 3: to do it, but you're going to make it look
Speaker 3: really easy and we're going to suck at it. But
Speaker 3: go on, what do we need to know?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 6: So we're going to learn how to make a cylinder.
Speaker 6: So cylinder can be a cup like a similar raised.
Speaker 3: Wall, a cigarette ash tray maybe could be Yeah, I've
Speaker 3: actually quit, so I don't need one.
Speaker 4: Evabes.
Speaker 6: Now, first of all, try not to have any expectations,
Speaker 6: So don't think about the product at the end. Just
Speaker 6: think about all the steps you're doing.
Speaker 4: Okay, So it's more about the journey exactly. I feel
Speaker 4: like we're about to end to an IVF meeting. It
Speaker 4: is about the journey, which it is. It's about the journey. Yes,
Speaker 4: our sex is good, kids in it. It's not my fault.
Speaker 4: Why don't you quickly tell us what you have. What's
Speaker 4: this thing called? This is? This is a wheel that's.
Speaker 6: Got wheel the electric so you only need to push
Speaker 6: your foot down on the pedal.
Speaker 5: Life driving.
Speaker 4: Okay, have you tried yours?
Speaker 3: Let's go bang it. Janet's here filming. This is why
Speaker 3: she couldn't do it. She doesn't have a license to
Speaker 3: use and accelerate.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that actually knocked my testicles a little bit and
Speaker 1: that hurt my What.
Speaker 4: Have you done? Sorry? I went a bit too fast wheel.
Speaker 3: So literally off to a flying start.
Speaker 1: Now what would you call this? Shagana?
Speaker 2: That's a wheel, so your clay went flying all over
Speaker 2: you hit me and the balls.
Speaker 1: We even got started, yet it wasn't stuck to the wheel,
Speaker 1: So I asked what it was. She is very sweet,
Speaker 1: and I think we were both very confident at the start,
Speaker 1: but it quickly dwindles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like this is when the competitiveness started to kick in.
Speaker 2: So I challenged you all to keep track of who's winning,
Speaker 2: who who is the better? Saramecist at this point as
Speaker 2: we go through. So this is when we actually got started.
Speaker 2: Just picture a blob of clay in front of us
Speaker 2: and we had to turn that into a corn shape.
Speaker 3: Yeah we did, yeah, very phallic shape.
Speaker 1: Our hands were either side of it drenched in water
Speaker 1: and we would have to pull our hands up slowly
Speaker 1: around this article. It was. It was horny.
Speaker 6: Okay, stop, use a lot of water. Okay, make sure
Speaker 6: your hand's always wet and slippery. If it gets dray,
Speaker 6: it's gonna breathe.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we can get wet now, Yeah, so.
Speaker 3: Spin fast please, yep.
Speaker 6: All right, take a handful of water, pour it on
Speaker 6: top off your clay, generous handful, and use boss hands.
Speaker 6: Bring your hands up and in make your cloth look
Speaker 6: like a.
Speaker 1: Corn co Oh sorry you said, sorry, Sorry, So it's
Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, you've done enough.
Speaker 3: I did amazing.
Speaker 4: What happened?
Speaker 5: Whats on? That's lack of water?
Speaker 4: Lack of water? Yeah, okay, my GPS been a bit dry.
Speaker 4: I have, I have.
Speaker 5: So now we're going to pretend that was never happened.
Speaker 5: That was embarrassing.
Speaker 3: That that's why we're recording. We'll never forget.
Speaker 4: And I'm the one person that's done this before.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so did you realize that you've done it before?
Speaker 3: And I'm still killing it so far as I thought.
Speaker 1: You said, that's the luck of the water. It sounds
Speaker 1: like a beautiful novel. Where do I that one of water?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I decapitated my corn nuts, Yeah you did. And
Speaker 1: I actually circumcised it because it looked like it did
Speaker 1: look like a like an uncircumcised dick. And I wass
Speaker 1: to you most definitely not well trying to make a
Speaker 1: ball right, Well, this.
Speaker 2: Is the point where we turned the corn shape into
Speaker 2: a flat shape, and so we were sort of creating
Speaker 2: like picture a cheese platter, you know, the little block
Speaker 2: of bree.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well that's what we will make, well described.
Speaker 2: Yes, a little a little block of bree cheese. That's
Speaker 2: what we're making at this point.
Speaker 6: Now we're going to do the next step if you
Speaker 6: guys want to watch this. So we're going to spin fast,
Speaker 6: poor water, left hand, that's sick. I can like this
Speaker 6: on top like karate and down yours down if you can,
Speaker 6: well you can stop, you think keep going on?
Speaker 4: That good? Is that good? My cockat turned into a pot?
Speaker 3: Mitchell, Oh, you've lapped me, You've overtaken me.
Speaker 5: Let's let's look like the.
Speaker 4: Mushrooms that killed that family in Melbourne this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, would you like a taste? Jeez.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So at this point I'm now the ship one.
Speaker 2: You're better than me, pottery, I've overtaken, and so I
Speaker 2: don't talk much after this because I'm so fucking focused.
Speaker 1: You actually did. If you watch the video, Mitch gets
Speaker 1: so silent. It happened in the bar class. I was
Speaker 1: confident at the start that in the last ten minutes
Speaker 1: I just shut up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the other way around. This time I
Speaker 2: became really, really nervous because I couldn't talk. I was
Speaker 2: so focused on being good at it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, So we've got the block.
Speaker 2: Of bree cheese in front of us now, and so
Speaker 2: we're supposed to, I guess, finger the middle to turn
Speaker 2: the block into a bull. So you know you've got
Speaker 2: to You've got to make a gaping hole. And this
Speaker 2: is when we both started to notice how fucking sensual
Speaker 2: it was feeling.
Speaker 5: You know, next step, we're going to do opening.
Speaker 6: So if you want to watch fast speed water, I'm
Speaker 6: only going to use my thumbs, two thumbs together. You're
Speaker 6: going to go in the middle until you have one
Speaker 6: centimeter left.
Speaker 3: On the bottom for the bottom, so don't touch the bottom.
Speaker 6: Then you're going to bring your thumbs out.
Speaker 4: Play this. Wow, this is wow. I've been there before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it reminds me of my birth.
Speaker 6: This opening here should be like five centimeters, so big enough.
Speaker 4: So you don't want to go through to the bottom.
Speaker 3: Yes, well that'd be a pretty ship plate, wouldn't it.
Speaker 4: Oh it's a play.
Speaker 6: Sorry, keep going down until you have a set.
Speaker 4: I sorry. This is quite sensual, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Oh my gorgeous? Nice?
Speaker 5: Nice?
Speaker 6: And then we pull out Mitchell done and yeah, push
Speaker 6: your thumbs out and that's done.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, well done.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, Oh my god, I'm so impressed.
Speaker 3: That's great. I hate that yours is clearly better than mine.
Speaker 4: It's a bowl well done, cereal out of that.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't feed my cat out of it.
Speaker 2: It really is quite sentual, right is I get the
Speaker 2: whole ghost scene?
Speaker 4: Now, do you have a partner? No? Have you ever
Speaker 4: brought someone here for a date?
Speaker 6: Well, people come in here for dates, do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Sometimes girl doesn't know it's pottery. Guy would arrange everything
Speaker 6: and she will show up like in lace gown.
Speaker 4: Looking beautiful of the good, and then he's pulling open
Speaker 4: a bowl. She's gone. I'm jealous of a pot.
Speaker 2: Sorry the ghost music is that I feeling sensual?
Speaker 3: She reckons.
Speaker 1: A lot of people go on dates there, I do
Speaker 1: it for sure. Yeah, yeah, I love that. I love
Speaker 1: a hands on experience, something to reference. I really am
Speaker 1: down for that.
Speaker 2: I feel like if someone suggests that a pottery date
Speaker 2: to me, but it's the eyes or not, I'd be
Speaker 2: a bit off put at first, but hey, it'd be
Speaker 2: fucking memorable, wouldn't I totally definitely remember that day.
Speaker 1: I'd pretend to do it to their butt or something.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, with your ghana there.
Speaker 1: You you're like, hey, you're ghana, your ghana?
Speaker 3: Want to look away. We're about to get fucking.
Speaker 1: Off, Risky clean them up with a sponge.
Speaker 2: So at this point we've put a hole in our breach. No,
Speaker 2: I'm actually introducing the next bit of audio. Sorry, at
Speaker 2: this point finger a hole into the bree cheese.
Speaker 1: Yes, we have, we have.
Speaker 3: And so it's like a really tiny flat bowl.
Speaker 2: And this is when we had to pull it off,
Speaker 2: stretch it up and make it a taller bowl.
Speaker 1: That was going from a small bowl to a big bowl.
Speaker 2: Yes, correct, And remember at this point, you're in the
Speaker 2: lead right like you're obviously doing a better job than me.
Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten. I'm doing exceptionally well. Your ghana has
Speaker 1: got my resume about to offer me a job as
Speaker 1: a tutor.
Speaker 3: Let's see how that lasted.
Speaker 6: Okay, So for next step, we're gonna need mediums fits
Speaker 6: Yours doesn't.
Speaker 4: Yours isn't as big as ours? Have we have we
Speaker 4: gone too big? Like to say.
Speaker 3: It once again? Our whole gaping.
Speaker 4: I've been there before.
Speaker 1: So do we need to close up our Do we
Speaker 1: need to rest for a few days?
Speaker 5: Or that would be good? Yeah?
Speaker 6: If you spin medium spit with your hands, we're gonna
Speaker 6: mainly use the middle finger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, perfect, my favorite one.
Speaker 6: So keep moving upwards, keep moving upwards really gently, really really,
Speaker 6: don't squeeze hard, Mitch.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, embarrassing.
Speaker 4: I've beheaded my peace and I was the star pupil.
Speaker 2: You got cocky, mate, absolutely ruined my embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I snapped it in half. My piece fell in front
Speaker 1: of my eyes, and you know what, Me and your
Speaker 1: Gelly Ghana Ghana from Silky Shape, from Silky Shaping The
Speaker 1: Way of the Water Avatar Part two. And she looks
Speaker 1: at me, she's so disappointed. But then I look over
Speaker 1: at Mitchell and the joy in his Yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I'm back, bitch, I'm joy.
Speaker 1: So mine has been cut off. She gets up out
Speaker 1: of her chair and she comes and fixed mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she did have to give you a helping him,
Speaker 2: which gave you a bit of an advantage, I would
Speaker 2: have thought.
Speaker 3: But anyway, is it just the podcast by.
Speaker 2: A couple of Finally, this is when we put the
Speaker 2: finishing touches on our bowls, although yours looked a bit
Speaker 2: more like a cup to be fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was half the size.
Speaker 6: Ye.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is the end of our And then
Speaker 2: you're Gana asked Jenna to make a judgment who did
Speaker 2: a better job at their pottery.
Speaker 3: So we basically this is it. We're finalizing it. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So you keep going up pressure until you get five
Speaker 6: meal thickness of the wall.
Speaker 4: Okay, I got the death wabbles.
Speaker 6: Okay, So Mitch, we're going to compress the rim for you.
Speaker 4: Compress the rim.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so see how the rim is going up and down?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no bumpsy in my head that mine looks
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, And I've got pottery dysmorphia.
Speaker 3: It might have on an oval shape. It's not round anymore.
Speaker 5: That's okay, that's perfect.
Speaker 6: Actually, you've done I wouldn't say it's almost like I'm
Speaker 6: intuitive natural.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty much done. Wow, it's a coffee mind.
Speaker 5: Do you want it to stay as his? Or do
Speaker 5: you want me to even it out for you?
Speaker 3: What do you mean he's saying mine's not perfect?
Speaker 5: Yes it is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's not perfect, Jenna. Do you want to.
Speaker 6: Hug good way, Hanna, go away?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's leave with us. Is it's perfect?
Speaker 4: Be happy with yours.
Speaker 2: I don't think it matters what I think. I think
Speaker 2: y're Ghana the top dog of Silky Shaped Studio.
Speaker 3: Who did a better job.
Speaker 4: Out of the two mites?
Speaker 5: We will need to ask Jenna to judge.
Speaker 1: All right, Jenna, have a look at our parts and
Speaker 1: tell us who's your superior.
Speaker 4: I mean, mine's not really a pot.
Speaker 3: Is just it's a tooth brush holder.
Speaker 4: It is a toothbrush holder. And Mitchell's cat bowl.
Speaker 6: Actually, well, to be honest, I wouldn't like Connie even.
Speaker 5: Near that thing.
Speaker 4: Jeanet's look at the jagged edges.
Speaker 5: Honestly, they're both terrible.
Speaker 3: It's really hard to love to see you do a
Speaker 3: better job. Jenna.
Speaker 4: Such support, Jenna, I'm gonna go with Mitch. Oh god,
Speaker 4: thanks Jenna.
Speaker 3: Half of it's missing.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. This was great my pleasure.
Speaker 1: I actually feel I don't know how you feel, Mitch,
Speaker 1: but I feel like this is a hobby that I
Speaker 1: want to continue.
Speaker 3: It's very rare that you actually continue though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much do these cost?
Speaker 2: Because what Mitch does is he buys all the bullshit,
Speaker 2: drops all this money on it, and then just forgets
Speaker 2: about it. Like he's got DJ dex, a banjo, all
Speaker 2: these things. He's just bought the equipment and they're not
Speaker 2: actually do How much would this set you back?
Speaker 6: Probably a couple of thousands just for the week, right,
Speaker 6: But there are options. You don't have to own everything.
Speaker 6: There are lots of different studios. You can go and
Speaker 6: do it at the studio, and you can do it
Speaker 6: whenever you have time.
Speaker 5: You don't have to commit to it.
Speaker 4: I actually am very I think I'm going to continue
Speaker 4: this hobby.
Speaker 3: Was it therapeutic?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And it was also like it it keeps your brain
Speaker 1: and your hands busy, yeah, more focused. No, I wasn't speaking,
Speaker 1: My brain was on That's rare, very very Yeah.
Speaker 4: My therapist will be very impressed.
Speaker 6: The most common feedback I get is people say that I.
Speaker 5: Did not think about anything for two hours. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: so you just you're so focused.
Speaker 6: On your hands that all the other noise in your
Speaker 6: mind just disappears.
Speaker 4: It meditative.
Speaker 3: I can't say that word meditative.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 6: It is meditative without trying to meditate, because everyone says
Speaker 6: I cannot meditate.
Speaker 5: My monkey brain never stops.
Speaker 6: But when you're doing this, you're meditating without knowing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it. I'm sold.
Speaker 3: Now important question u Ghana. As a professional.
Speaker 2: Seramesist, do you ever bother getting your nails done or
Speaker 2: is it just going to get rapped?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, I don't. I'm missing one of the nails.
Speaker 4: What what did you do?
Speaker 5: Because it raps against the world.
Speaker 6: I did actually notice that you can recognize potters by this.
Speaker 3: Now it's comment is missing.
Speaker 4: I'll show me.
Speaker 6: Because when you're doing this, corning up and down, you're touching.
Speaker 4: The Oh my god, you actually don't feel it.
Speaker 5: Then you sit at home and you're like, what happened?
Speaker 3: Where is the corn? That's like nails on a talkboard
Speaker 3: to me, that.
Speaker 4: Is thank you so much. This was great. I've got
Speaker 4: a new hobby.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, so early in the hunt.
Speaker 1: And we've got a new urn for the friend of
Speaker 1: ours to die because that is hideous.
Speaker 4: We'll put them in that.
Speaker 2: Oh there we go, Like we said, the videos up
Speaker 2: on our Instagram at a couple of miches on Monday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Yes, we should do another. I love what we did
Speaker 1: with the bar video where we got the earlier listeners
Speaker 1: to comment something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to prove that they heard the podcast first. What
Speaker 2: could be something pot related? They can comment on the video.
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe just the leaf emoji or just fourteen it's blazy.
Speaker 2: The maple leaf emoji is usually what people put on
Speaker 2: their dating propo, like on Grinder for as the maple
Speaker 2: leaf emoji.
Speaker 3: They're a dealer, correct, you could put that I like
Speaker 3: the maple.
Speaker 1: Then we don't want people to think thinking that our pages,
Speaker 1: you know, a condo it for weed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't just have that emoji like a pot punt.
Speaker 2: Are there any.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure we can think of one. Yeah, by
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 3: This is Yaghana's claim to fame.
Speaker 1: Good you Ghana barely know it.
Speaker 3: Your Ghana didn't fucking touch her.
Speaker 1: One of the one of the many. If you if
Speaker 1: you can't think of something a pot joke. Okay, write
Speaker 1: a pot joke or the maple leaf emoji.
Speaker 3: You don't pull it, Yaghana, She'll be so confused.
Speaker 1: And I adore Yaghana. I want her as my teacher
Speaker 1: in the same way that you were, a bit like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, the bar teacher Mandy is so cooled
Speaker 1: l L. I thought Rghana was so cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved her.
Speaker 1: She was adorable and she's right. That ring finger on
Speaker 1: her left hand looked like a fucking Frankfurt that been
Speaker 1: chopped off.
Speaker 3: Well, it's time for the verdict.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to actually commit to this hobby. Have
Speaker 3: we found a new one?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Well, are we all go into committed?
Speaker 1: Is it just you and me?
Speaker 6: Mitch?
Speaker 1: Do we all have to decide?
Speaker 3: True? Jenna didn't actually give it a crack, but for
Speaker 3: someone who was watching, well, I can't because my nails.
Speaker 5: It gets into my nails because I've got cat.
Speaker 1: So that's an instant no from Jenna Mitchell, you can
Speaker 1: go next.
Speaker 2: I didn't work this hard to quit my nail biting
Speaker 2: habit just to have some fucking pottery wheel rip my
Speaker 2: nail off.
Speaker 3: No way. I can't rip glosing a nail.
Speaker 1: Hole sheds a no from Mitchell. Wow, burning through these verdicts.
Speaker 2: You made it pretty clear in that that you were
Speaker 2: sold in it. But I should say it's been a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks since we've recorded that, and so God,
Speaker 2: we know what you're like.
Speaker 1: Would you like to know the truth of the matter.
Speaker 1: I'm in negotiations with someone on gum Tree.
Speaker 3: You don't need to buy your own wheel. You can
Speaker 3: just go to a studio. Do you see me installing
Speaker 3: a ballet bar? In my heart, I just go to
Speaker 3: the studio where they've got baths.
Speaker 1: I am in negotiations with someone who is selling all
Speaker 1: their gear. She's probably not a good sign because that's
Speaker 1: where I'm going to be in six weeks. However, I
Speaker 1: think we've landed on a fair and reasonable price for
Speaker 1: a pottery wheel.
Speaker 3: Mitchell, this is what you do.
Speaker 1: You've got so much bullshit that you don't commit to,
Speaker 1: and it will be coming home because it is my
Speaker 1: new hobby. I accept. I love pottery.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that's a win, but I don't think
Speaker 3: you're going about it the right way. It's a half win.
Speaker 1: I also had to listen to message me that does
Speaker 1: pottery classes in Cronulla, which is where I live currently
Speaker 1: with mum and dad, and she said, come to the
Speaker 1: come to the studio and you can do weekly sessions.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to do that instead of getting your
Speaker 1: own wheel. There's no need much as I was trying
Speaker 1: to Google because she at Google a message because she
Speaker 1: messaged me inviting me. Bless her. Her name's Ashley. She
Speaker 1: listens to the show ceramics pottery class in Taran Point.
Speaker 1: I love you to come, she messaged. The two of
Speaker 1: us actually invited us. Oh really, yeah, my name's actually
Speaker 1: currently a few winds deep.
Speaker 3: Well tell her to fucking forget about it. Remove me
Speaker 3: from the group chat. I'm not leaving.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm so happy. Ah, this is great. I've got
Speaker 1: a new hobby.
Speaker 2: I understand where your heads at when it comes to
Speaker 2: i've got a new hobby. I've got to buy the
Speaker 2: ship to go with it. Yeah, like I get, But
Speaker 2: you don't need to because I.
Speaker 3: Did the same thing.
Speaker 2: When I finally found a new palaateis and yoga studio
Speaker 2: to go to, I was like, I'm going to get
Speaker 2: a new mat. It's going to be so good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't a fucking cheap mat. Yeah, it's I've got
Speaker 2: this gorgeous indigenous artwork on it.
Speaker 1: I've seen it.
Speaker 3: It was expensive and I was like nah, nah, all good.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I rock up to the first class. They're like, no,
Speaker 2: you don't need to bring your own mat.
Speaker 1: We've got them.
Speaker 2: So I don't think you go into pottery class they're
Speaker 2: going to expect you to bring your own fucking wheel.
Speaker 3: You don't need to buy it.
Speaker 1: It's also like forty kilos. Yeah, I did search kilns,
Speaker 1: but they they just want to require a lot of editgy.
Speaker 3: What are you going to do after you make a
Speaker 3: pot without a kiln?
Speaker 1: Also, what am I going to do to my dad?
Speaker 4: Dad?
Speaker 1: I'm going to fuck on Thursday. But then also I'm
Speaker 1: making pottery in the backyard on Friday, So you need
Speaker 1: to fuck off out of your own house that you're
Speaker 1: paying the mortgage on.
Speaker 2: I think it's the mess you're going to make if
Speaker 2: you get your own pottery wheel, Like, it's so much
Speaker 2: easier to.
Speaker 3: Go to a class and then just leave it behind.
Speaker 6: Sorr.
Speaker 1: I thought you're saying, think of the mess you're going
Speaker 1: to make if you fuck on Thursday, and I thought,
Speaker 1: how do you to mind out of the gut of
Speaker 1: your gr We love you, Jamama.
Speaker 3: Still cliche studio and crows, thanks you very much for
Speaker 3: having it hit it up.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful studio.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now, do we need to continue the hobbyhunt because you
Speaker 2: reckon you found one? Because I have been getting a
Speaker 2: lot of suggestions sent in.
Speaker 1: Oh definitely. I think this is great, and I think
Speaker 1: we're staying. I want to continue. I'm not fully sold
Speaker 1: on having a brand new hobby that I can commit to.
Speaker 1: Pottery is hard and lengthy, is it? Well, it just
Speaker 1: takes time. If you want to fucking mugget takes six
Speaker 1: weeks and you got to kill it for a month
Speaker 1: and you got to bake it. No, I want.
Speaker 3: Something more instant hobby, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm very impatient. So something a bit more
Speaker 1: instant could be nice.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'll tell you some of the suggestions. Lily
Speaker 2: said that we should do canoe polo. Absolutely not, Lily,
Speaker 2: do you listen to this water polo? But in kayaks?
Speaker 3: Said?
Speaker 2: You paddle around in a kayak and try and score
Speaker 2: goals that are hung up in the air.
Speaker 3: Lots of fun.
Speaker 2: She said, and you come from a water polo background, right,
Speaker 2: So I did think of that, but in a canoe.
Speaker 1: I've actually thought about getting back into water polo. There's
Speaker 1: a queer water polo team in Sydney.
Speaker 2: I was actually thinking that the other day. I was like,
Speaker 2: why is he looking for a new hobby and it's
Speaker 2: clearly got one that he used to be quite good at.
Speaker 1: My allo, No, and I wanted to do swimming again.
Speaker 1: I swim to swim with my dad. He swims every
Speaker 1: morning at the beach. Anyway, I don't think kayak. No,
Speaker 1: it sounds like quiddache and that's silly.
Speaker 3: Actually.
Speaker 2: You know the mcquarie University just down the road from
Speaker 2: our studio, they've got a quidditch team.
Speaker 3: Should we sign up?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You were a stub where I went as well? They
Speaker 3: verse each other?
Speaker 1: Do they play? Do they hold on? Is it role play?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Are they huffle pass?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Are they roll playing?
Speaker 2: At O week when I saw the store for a
Speaker 2: quidditch team, I was like, isn't that fucking flying?
Speaker 3: What are they doing?
Speaker 1: Isn't that fucking mythical?
Speaker 3: It's not real?
Speaker 1: God, that's done.
Speaker 3: And the blood just looked heavy on Harry potter the
Speaker 3: blood is.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they did and oh I did like
Speaker 1: the look of the snitch though, to be perv to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, Oh yeah, that looks really fun, okay.
Speaker 2: Rachel also suggested that we do aerial hoop. It's technically
Speaker 2: considered a circus art. Basically, it's a suspended metal hoop
Speaker 2: that you used to do aerobics.
Speaker 1: Ah, absolutely fucking not.
Speaker 3: I think that'd be right at my alle.
Speaker 1: Well, you can do it in your own spare time, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, okay.
Speaker 2: Angers suggested one of those smashrooms where you just get
Speaker 2: a bunch of the pottery that we made, really just
Speaker 2: a bunch of ceramics like plates and shit, and you
Speaker 2: hit it with a hammer.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'd absolutely adore that. I've seen those.
Speaker 1: It's just like a one white room. It's like four
Speaker 1: walls and they lock the door and you wear safety
Speaker 1: gear and you throw ceramics like you're at a Greek
Speaker 1: fucking wedding.
Speaker 3: Oh there's no hammer you to throw it.
Speaker 1: I've seen different ones. I've seen hammers, I've seen axes.
Speaker 3: I really like to do that. Should we do with smashrooms?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? But is that a hobby or is
Speaker 1: that not just something you do after you break up
Speaker 1: with your partner, like to get your around.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they probably have membership.
Speaker 2: It depends on how much you fall in love with it.
Speaker 2: It's probably on the same wavelength as bowling. Some people
Speaker 2: would consider that a hobby. Some people would trip. That's
Speaker 2: something you do with your cousins.
Speaker 1: Let's do a smashroom because the three of us have
Speaker 1: so much pent up anger.
Speaker 3: I just start hitting you.
Speaker 1: Would you kill me? I think Jenner would go fucking nice.
Speaker 3: And it's like, I don't need a hammer, I've got
Speaker 3: me nails.
Speaker 1: Do a smashroom. That audio is going to be very
Speaker 1: hard to play back. It's going to be grading on.
Speaker 3: The Oh, well, it's fine, it'll be fun for us.
Speaker 3: It's all about the video.
Speaker 1: It's all about the footage. All right. I'll be number three.
Speaker 1: Let's do a smash room. I'm sold.
Speaker 3: Fuck yes, all right, coming soon.
Speaker 1: I guess how the fuck did we start with quiddach
Speaker 1: and end on smashroom?
Speaker 4: Is it just me?
Speaker 3: You should follow these idiots online?
Speaker 1: Search a couple of mitches
