EP:82 - 40

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, 40, Milo and Doors.

Im sure someone has loused up your age, but I had someone recently think I was 40!, and when I told them what my actual age was, they had a slight meltdown. I’m not sure if it’s a complement or a ‘slap in the face’ to have someone think you’re 40, maybe I’m a wise soul or something like that. Who knows….

I was making myself a delicious Milo one night, and as I went to push the lid back onto the can, I somehow managed to push the lid straight into the can! I then fished the lid out and it was well buckled, so I gave it a bit of an unbuckle and I then carefully pushed it back onto the can.

I’m not really sure what to say on this, basically I saw some bloke carrying a door down the road, the door looked pretty new. I can only assume ol mate had been to one of the hardware stores, got himself a door and carried it home?

EP:81 - Jury 2.0

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Checking In, Jury and 6 Minutes.

Have you ever had someone have a complete bitch about something, then you suggest an alternative, but they just shut that down too. That’s the essence of this first segment, in current times you’ve got to ‘sign in’ to businesses etc when you’re out and about, to help with tracing if someone gets the coz. Anyway, to get into the hospital, spoiler you’ve got to ‘sign in’ I was talking to someone who was having a meltdown over this, but when I said that they could go to a side entrance, for their purposes instead of actually entering the building. (They were picking up medication from the hospital pharmacy) They weren't having a bar of it.

Back in episode 27 of the Podcast, I talked about Jury Duty, well I was on it again this past few weeks. However this time I got a case! It was an interesting experience, and I was surprised by the sheer admin of a trial, every person just about in the court room getting copies of photos of evidence etc. And it was all to be destroyed after the trial, what a waste!

Wrapping things up, on Monday I had to go and have a procedure, one I’ve had a heap of times. After I woke up and was in the recovery area, I noticed a bit of paperwork that had the start and finish times of my procedure, and it worked out to be a grant total of 6 minutes! Those doctors work quick...

EP:80 - Pull

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Criminals, Pulls and Beeps.

I obviously must have been watching some crime show, because I’ve had a thought brought on by something, possibly by my recent watching of “A Touch of Frost” or “The Bill’. That thought was, why do criminals always keep some sort of key evidence that ends up in them getting nicked!. Burn stuff or toss it in the river, don’t run it through the wash and keep the stuff in your house, CRAZY.

Last weekend, myself and a group of cobbers went out on the sauce! Not too much sauce, but we did consume three bottles of wine. After we left the wine bar (wine is also sold at other bars too, apparently….) we went to a craft beer joint, where some ‘twelvie’ tried to ‘pull’ someone from our group. When I say ‘pull’ I mean to ‘get with’ or ‘score’ not to pull off, like someone who I told this story to thought.

Did you ever do the ‘beep test’? Most likely at school id suggest, I did one a few weeks back and did pretty well. Out of 150 (I think) levels I got to something like 138, and also smoked the physio in the process who was doing it “against medical advice” I made a quick video for the, Luke Who’s Talking Vlog, I’ll pop a link here, if you want to watch.

Warning: Slight Plosive OVERLOAD!

EP:79 - Letdown

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Bad Drivers, Big Calls and Slight Letdowns!

Last week, the day of my birthmas to be precise, I saw a dash cam moment. Simply, someone driving up off the highway on ramp. I can only assume they went down the ramp thinking it went somewhere else, then deciding they didn’t want to commit to the highway. So they did a u-turn and drove back up the ramp, WILD!

Shockingly, I listen to some podcasts. A financial/investment podcast I listen too, but have somewhat fallen out of love with it, made a BIG CALL. Said call was that Spotify ‘saved’ the music industry. Super, spicy hot take, however im not so sure. iTunes probably has done more than Spotify, given it was around 5 years before Spotify existed.

Wrapping things up, I saw a Fire Truck on the street the other day, and I also heard a fire alarm going off, exciting right? Well, when I rounded a nearby corner, I saw another Fire Truck, a big crane type one, but no fire. No fire, no water all over the road, no drama. It’s good someones property wasn’t on fire, but it doesn’t give me an exciting story for the podcast.

EP:78 - Hit The Boards

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Prangs, Olympics and Cars.

So I went arse over on the mountain bike, causing a hurty on my knee. That’s about it, I was making a sharpish left turn on a moist surface, and slippo.

I’ve not been overly interested in the Olympics, however I’ve been following the Woman's soccer tournament. The Australian team, aptly called “The Matildas” have done a pretty solid job, at time of recording they were set to play the USA in the Bronze Medal match, and I thought they were a solid chance of winning it. Unfortunately they went down 4-3, but I still love them anyway!

I mentioned back in episode 75 (Jump) that I’d taken a new rig for a spin, well, I decided to order one. After some ‘procrastination’ about it all, so when my new vehicle turns up in late Sep/early Oct. I’ll quite possibly do a video on it, I probably should because content and all that.

EP:77 - The Squire

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Balls, Flats and Board Games.

This was a classic move by the kid next door, I was out in the yard picking up ‘Dog leavings’ I heard a clang and shocker there was a ball over the fence. I got the ball for the kid, then pretty much instantly, they torped the ball into the air and it landed on their garage, classic kid move.

As some of you may or may not know, im a mildly avid cyclist. I was out with the group and got a flat tyre, after some mild faffing and someone taking over, the flat got ‘fixed’ but it quite wasn’t. After we set off again, someone else got a flat and whilst that was getting fixed, I decided to top up my ‘fixed’ tyre, in the process I broke my valve, I then limped the bike back home and did a proper repair job and haven’t had any issues since!

A friend of mine is the squire of board games, and they were in full squire mode when another friend recently had a birthday party. This meant bonkers board games a plenty, one in particular played into my prolific ‘story telling’ skills…. I can’t remember what I was actually called, but it was some sort of detective game. You’ve got one murderer an accomplice and everyone else are detectives, classic stuff.

EP:76 - Boo Urns

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Emails, Solstice and Boo’s or Boo-Urns?

Firstly, lets talk about emails. A few weeks ago (probably) I sent three different businesses around town emails, just asking if they might have any positions opening up soon. I get businesses are busy and all that, but it took like a week before I got any sort of reply back, a bit average I thought. However hopefully it has all lead to something, but knowing my luck it’ll probably all fall apart!

Tuesday was the ‘winter solstice’ so my cycling group organised a winter solstice ride, genius plan. It kicked off at about 7am, and after a short ride to a lookout over the city (that I didn’t actually know existed) we got to not see the sunrise because of the fog/mist that was about, classic. But at least we got a coffee and churros afterwards.

Wrapping things up with a hot topic, that I don't think actually needs to be that hot, that is the gesture of ‘taking a knee’ during the Euro 2020 soccer tournament, the England team has been getting boos from the crowd whilst they’ve been making the gesture before games. Is this bad? what do people think the gesture stands for? I share some thoughts on this.

EP:75 - Jump

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Test Drives, Dog Jumps and Challenge Results.

Yeah, so I took a new vehicle for a test drive the other week. As I’ve possibly mentioned before im wanting a slight off roader, so I can do some gravel etc, but nothing too massive for everyday driving. I’ve settled on a Subaru XV, it has that all wheel drive capability and also isnt a big slug of a vehicle, I probably should order one at some point.

Next, animals for sport, controversial. However, my brother entered his two doggies in a ‘High Jump’ competiton at one of the local shows and won!!. One dog won the ‘medium’ category, managing 1.8m and the other won the ‘big’ category jumping 2.2m. Video: https://youtu.be/FZI2mixT7Vs

To wrap things almost up, just a rundown of my 65 Roses Challeenge, I managed to ride 720km, and raise just over $1,000. Thank you to everyone who go on board with it, whether you made a donation or just shared posts, or even just started a conversation about it.

Now to actually wrap things up, im going to be changing Podcast Hosting, because I can get what I think is a better deal, so hopefully this podcast will still ‘work’ properly and you wont have any problems with it. Here’s hoping anyway!!

EP:74 - Burger

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, The Vaccine, Gifts and a Burger Balls Up.

To start off, I chat about getting my first dose of the ‘Cozza Vac’ that’s about all there.

Secondly, I’m going to talk about a gift my Mum got for Mothers Day (Although that was a few weeks back now) but it was a gift that was pretty much a ‘Boss Move’ it’s impossible to compete with.

Wrapping up, I suffered a mild disappointment, when a local burger joint gave my take away order to someone else named ‘Luke’ or so they say….

EP:73 - A Sight For Sore Eyes

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Some ‘issues’ with iTunes, or podcast connect. Whatever they’re calling it these days, I don’t think apple even know, Tim what are you doing?

Next, I just give dating apps a mention, because generally speaking they’re awful. But you know what’s not awful, bikes.

And to wrap it all up, like a poorly made Subway, I give you an update on how I’m progressing with my May, 65 Roses Challenge.
