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.
