44 for a dip in the sea freezing cold but again you were doing whatever and I dropped him home and I dropped one of the lads home as well and we pulled up outside his ma's house and we were just chatting there for about 40 minutes and a friend of ours was in the back seat me and Terence were in the front and my friend was like this is great listening to you I was asking Terence and I was like ask me what and he was like look I'm thinking about starting a podcast would you be interested

And I was like, yeah, like, why not?

Like, I've a lot to say, so why not?

I'm one of these people, if I tell you I'm going to do something, I do it.

I've no time for people who are like, oh yeah, no problem, I'll see you there and they cancel.

So I said to him, look, Monday morning, come down to my house, we'll get this done and we'll bash it out.

Literally, I had no idea what we were doing, no equipment.

I knew somebody that had set up a podcast and I messaged him.

And he was like, just use the recorder app on your phone.

So like everybody open up your phone now, you will have like a notes recorder, like memo app on your phone.

I'd use that to record episode one.

I put the phone down on the table, turn it on the other side of the table.

And we recorded episode one.

And then from there, I was like, right, I need to edit this now.

I just downloaded an app and edit an app and that was it.

Now, I do work in tech.

I have a degree in computer science and I do work in a big tech company.

I'm actually an engineer by trade.

But no, like sound engineering is not what I specialise in.

So this was the thing.
