Lucky lucky I didn't say I wasn't ready, eh?
Oh well I would have uh I would have acknowledged and respected your position.
Yeah.
Uh and kept recording. Right
oh. Here we are again, eh?
Here we are again, another week of uh just stimulating repartee. Uh if this is your first time listening,
welcome. Do you know do you reckon one day, one time when we record, 'cause it's it's no secret that we record all our podcasts on one day. Right. Do you reckon maybe we should do this do this first, maybe one time. That'd be wild. You know, like we're not that we're not fresh right now, but we can come in I've
I've worked out why your headphones don't go in well. Because they're if I in the wrong ear. In the wrong ear. Yeah, you've gone the wrong way around. Let me just talk for a minute. I've got this um I've got this thought that I am gonna finally hand over the reins of producing the E V show to producer Rob. Yep. Just because I'm pretty sick of uh having to remo rem remember to text people and see yeah. He gets all the texts and puts them into a spreadsheet anyway, so I'm thinking we'll organise that anyway. So that's just saying, hey Rob It's coming. Good luck you Rob. Um Uh the challenge there is if we want to do that, we should probably do it the when we're back from overseas because we're gonna need to lock in on the E V 'cause if if Rob's gonna organise all the calls in a particular time, like window, ten to lock.
That governs when we start. Governors when we start. It st it does. You get here early
at
eight thirty and we get smash the show out. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Really? I might I might book a hotel nearby just sort of sleep come the night before. There's an Ibis on the road next to the bunnies. I might have to book it, mate. I can't imagine you in an Ibis to be honest. I've been I've stayed at an Ibis before, really. There's an Ibis um You lowered yourself to No, there were I remember there was an Ibis I think it was an Ibis or Quest. I I've stayed at an Ibis. I remember staying at Ibis in the in Anaheim when I was over on a Souths trip. Our Anaheim hotel was Ibis. Hang on. Are you talking about when you played for Souths? Yes. That's a long time ago, but I've stayed in a still Ibis that I've stayed in.
That's like saying I stayed in a flag inn.
There's one near the airport too. Uh which airport? I
think
Sydney Airport
is an Ibis. Yeah, it's off.
And uh I stayed at the Ibis. I stayed at the
IBIS in Darling Harbour once and uh it just it made me realise what it is. It's just a building, it's just a bunch of concrete, like prefabbed rooms just stuck together. Because even though the the whole the whole bathroom was like a stick in bathroom. Like you know those showers that are just stick in bathro just a plastic mould, so p there's there's your shower. I think the whole bathroom was just like it was a concrete room with p here's a here's a bathroom stuck in a corner. Okay. You know, it wasn't high value. But if you want to uh get involved in the Two Blokes Talking Anything show Ibis, we're happy to make you our chosen hot chosen hotel partner. I won't stay there, but I'll make you our chosen provider.
Yeah, when we travel we travel off.
If I if I so I I And we were at Gas Man as well. I knew that Amanda would have a real struggle to find accommodation in New York 'cause it's there's a combination every block, right? Exactly. Yeah. And so I knew I would need to narrow it down. And so I I narrowed it down like I went on what I say midtown 'cause it's easy to get both ends. And yeah. You want to be near a tran uh a subway line, I think that's important. You know, that's
on the west side. Uh Well right in the middle.
It's it's it's I don't know.
What
are you between? Fifth
and sixth Avenue. I don't know,
mate. I don't know, but we're midtown. Anyway, so I found a couple and I I I kind of went, here's here's my narrative and she basically went, I don't know. But let me tell you this. If I'd have written Ibus Manhattan, she would have gone no.
