EP:101 - Ceilings

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Monkeys, Ceilings and Unwanted Gifts.

Monkeys, they’re lil and fun, except for the big ones. Some listeners will be aware that my town has a monkey enclosure in our City Park, and recently something mildly ‘spicy’ happened. Someone broke into the enclosure to steal the coins that had been thrown into the pond the monkeys have. As a result of this, said person may have been exposed to herpes!! Total sitcom stuff.

I’m a big fan of a solid pain job, especially when it comes to ceilings. Knowing this, you’d appreciate my shock and horror at a ‘substandard’ ceiling pain job, when I was out at a beverage establishment recently. The coverage of the paint was rather ordinary, it was lacking an extra coat of colour water. But, believe it or not, the nearby bog had a worse paint job!

I had a birthday recently and I had to deal with the dreaded ‘unwanted gift’ I want to say that the gift wasn’t a bad one, however I just didn’t really want it. What a scandal...

EP:100 - Century

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, basically nothing….

It has come to this, 100 episodes of this shambles of a Podcast, I never thought I’d get to 100 episodes. I also never thought id go beyond 100 episodes, but plot twist, I will.

I’d like to thank you all for listening to me ramble over the past 100 episodes, and many years it’s taken to do them. I’m sure you all will hang around for the next phase of the show, which basically will be the same, I’d have to assume…

Lastly, I’d like to thank Cam, Heather, Mark, Bandrew, AB, Liberty Dude and Angil, for the dank recording they put together for the show.

EP:99 - Science

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Science, Move’s and New Bikes

Science, it’s a great thing. Last week, I was involved in some ‘science’ one of my radio friends and I did an experiment on-air! What we did was a taste test, we tasted L.A. Ice Cola, Q Cola, Coca-Cola, Coke No Sugar and Pepsi. Controversially, the result was that they are all taste the same, basically. So if you’re having a party, get the cheapest Cola you can for your boozed-up friends.

Let’s talk about moves, two of my friends are moving away, for various reasons. That’s a good thing that they’ll be exploring and taking up opportunities. However, I’m feeling a bit sad, because I’m loosing two of my buds, and my main friend group is going to be diminished as a result.

Bikes, Bikes, Bikes, some more exciting news, I’ve grasped an opportunity to get myself a new bike! Given the ongoing stock issues getting new bikes has been difficult, but my local bike shop got in touch with me as one of their suppliers had something in stock and in my size, so I ordered it!

EP:98 - References

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Flirts, Beep Tests and Things Cam Likes.

Let’s talk about ‘flirts’ because, apparently I am one! But that depends on who you ask though. I was on the phone at a friend’s house recently, and when I got off they said to me ‘you’re a flirt on the phone’ however, I’ve since had someone deny that I’m a flirt and another confirm I am. Who really knows…

Beep tests, I’m sure some of you are aware of them, some of you may not be. Basically, you run between two cones, and things escalate from there. What else can I say, I don’t know.

My old mate Cam, who is a regular listener to the podcast, because he’s a champ. Cam likes things and one thing he likes is references, especially when I reference things/situations from our social outings. So he better like the one in this episode!

EP:97 - Friends

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Mav, Toilets and Friendship.

I’m sure we all have friends that have moved on and that we don’t see much anymore, luckily for me, I got to reconnect with one of mine. I was a bit unsure how it would go, given it’s been about 6-7 years since I’ve last seen said friend. But heck, the old references came back, the inside jokes were back, it was like old times.

Porter loos, one thing you’d not expect to see on the side of the road. Well, I saw one on the side of the road and on its side just recently. I was driving home after ‘having a few’ and I saw this thing, Initially I thought it was a skip bin, but as I drove closer it was a porter loo. I can only assume I fell off a truck or trailer. But it was gone then next day, very odd and unusual.

How good are friends? Especially those who send you friendship bracelets. I was lucky enough to get some in the mail from one of my ‘international’ buds! And they were also accompanied by a letter. All this only a year or so after I wrote them a letter, talk about a slow reply….

EP:96 - Ties

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Sales, Ties and Holidays.

Servo workers and salespeople, are not necessarily two things you'd associate with each other. But, I’m here to tell you that servo workers are the best salespeople out there, all they do is ask you one simple question “Just the fuel today” and you always doubt it. There is always something in your mind that goes ‘yeah, I could get a coke and a snickers for 5 bucks’

Did you ever partake in the classic ‘ritual’ of putting a necktie on your door if you weren't in there alone? Honestly, I never have, because I’m not a ‘smooth operator’ like that. But if you lived by those rules, did you have to get yourself a tie and how many other people had to do the same. Is this rule keeping the necktie business going?

Holidays! As you are listening to this (assuming you’re listening on release day) I’m on holiday, well holiday may be a strong word to be using. But I am out of town for a few days. I quite possibly at this very moment am spending a spicy amount of dosh on something unnecessary, because ‘yolo’ as the kids say.

EP:95 - Albo

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Elections, Flex Moves and Epic Rides.

I know we’re all sick of elections and politicians, but on Saturday Australians ‘went to the polls’ and categorically shafted Scomo and the Libs. At the point of me writing this (Tuesday 24th) we know that Albo will be our new PM, but what the government will look like is a little unclear. Labour will be the biggest party, but at this point they are a couple of seats short of a majority (76 needed) but they are looking solid to get there. So, yeah, we’ve got a less right wing govy, for a more centre left one.

Recently, I was at the doctor and I noticed that they had their doctorate/diplomas etc handing on the surgery’s walls. This got me thinking, is that just a ‘flex move’ by professionals who display their diplomas and such on their walls. Is this something you do in your profession? Let me know.

As you may know, and as I’ve been talking about, I’m doing a 65 Roses Challenge this year to help raise a few bucks for Cystic Fibrosis. One of my goals as apart of my challenge was to see if I could do my longest ever ride, which I did last weekend. I took on an ‘epic’ ride which ended up being about 154km, yeah that long, mostly it was an ‘easy’ ride, but it did get a bit tough in a couple of spots, but I managed to keep going and I got home before it got dark!

EP:94 - Trikafta Update

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Medication, Easter and Challenges.

Last episode I talked about a new drug that has been listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, for individuals whom have CF. Fortunately for me, I’ve been on the new drug for a few weeks now, and it’s been very positive. Im just waiting to have a few tests to see what the medication has been doing for my health, hopefully I get some positive results back when they happen.

Interestingly, I also talked about Easter in the last episode, but not quite like this. Why doesn’t Easter have decorations like Christmas? Easter lights, Easter carols or even Easter trees or whatever. This could be a marketing masterstroke for us.

Last year during May I did a 65 Roses challenge, to help raise some awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis. This year I’m doing that again, my challenge is to ride 650km on my bike and also attempt my longest ever ride, currently my longest ride is 113km. I’ll add a link to my fundraising page below, so if you’d like to donate you can, however I would appreciate it if you could share the link on your socials.

EP:93 - Bills

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Easter, Drugs and Bills.

Today is ‘Good Friday’ now, our family doesn’t have many traditions or anything like that, but one thing that is somewhat of a tradition is no red meat on Good Friday. It’s just something that we’ve always done, I think it’s something mainly from mums side of the family. But, it’s always an excuse to have some nice fish or something like that.

As some of you may be aware, I’ve got a condition called Cystic Fibrosis and fortunately there has been a new drug listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, all going well I’ll hopefully be starting it next week. I will keep you updated on that in the next episode.

Wrapping up, good old Spotify have billed me! Simply, my 3 month trial of Premium finished up at the start of the month. But, instead of getting a message, email or whatever to say ‘oh your premium is up’ I just got done the 12 bucks! Scoundrels.

EP:92 - Moneypenny

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Travesties, Moneypenny and Signs.

A few weeks ago, or whenever it actually was, I went out for St Patrick's day. Of course I had a Guinness, because that’s a legal requirement, but I saw something that is a crime against the thick frothiness that is a Guinness. If you know how a Guinness is poured, its a bit of a process, first you pour ¾ of it, then wait for it to ‘settle’ then top it off, well what I saw that night was the ‘topping off’ being done by a beer! Not more Guinness, I wanted to ask the person who got the drink what the heck it was about, but they were with a group of other people. You know how it is…..

I had a slight run in with a lady who had an infamous name, that name is, Moneypenny! Miss or Mrs Moneypenny! Either way, Moneypenny exists outside the world of Bond and in my town. Who’d of thought is, not me that’s for sure.

Lastly, I saw a guy reverse into a sign, and just drive off. The guy was reversing out of their driveway and opposite there was a sign that had something like ‘Event in Progress’ on it, it was just a temporary sign. But the reverser, just hit it and then drove off. I guess given that their vehicle was a ‘work car’ (it had business branding all over it) they probably didn’t care if it had damage on it!
