• 0:26
  Speaker 2: A really good day. Thanks for asking, keazy Man. I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: appreciate giving. I had a really good day. And what's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: happening now is because I've got a little business that
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I run there. But I've got a great team and
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: now I'm not doing one million hours a week.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Do you reckon?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: That came about after you went to Europe? You know
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: what I mean? You got everything to a certain place,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: you then went obey and then you realize.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It was before that as well. It was before that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: as well. We've we we most of this year has
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: been spent demo in all this ship that had to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: be done, and we're finally on the other side of it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: God.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It makes a difference, right, and now I can get
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: shipped down every day. So today I had a man
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: around Jason yes, which was nice. It's nice to have
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a man about the house.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: What could you possibly be about to you don't like
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: a man about the house.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: It's deep thought because I, well, you know, I had
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: so many jobs he could do well. I was just
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: adding on.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: There is that sort of stuff, which is great, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: there's also something emasculating about.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It, you know. But the vibe that I took into it,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't know whether we'll get into this, was
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I could very much do this by myself. I just
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: don't have the time. So that's how I sort of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: sold it till him. Okay, Yeah, that made me feel
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: better about it, especially because sort of the first thing
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: he did was like, I was like, oh, I don't
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: know how this is going to go today if that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the standard we're operating that. So I had to get
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: straight in there and just make a couple of suggestions.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And that made me feel better about myself. Okay, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: did that on perfect. Everything else he did was great.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Was the first thing was the cabinet thing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Well, the first thing was the cabinet thing. So he
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we have these two shelving units which have got you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: normally you'd see them and there be books on a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: multi layered shelving unit. Not right, A plant here and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: some books here and some family photos. Yes, so I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: got those two things. And previously we would have the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: TV on the wall, but now we don't have room
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: for it because we're in this new house, so we've
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: put it in the center of these two shelves. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it sort of sits fifty to fifty on across these
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: two shelves, which means there's two metal poles running directly
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: down the center of the screen, which is not good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So he came in to cut those out right. So,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but that meant that it needed reinforcing and screwing to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the wall. So I said, if you could screw into
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the walls on the top so we can't see them.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So he did that, but he did it high enough
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: that I can still see them, and he did them
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so that they're not directly in line with each other,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: they're slightly on the piss and straight away that fucked
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: me off. Well, I can fuck it up. Yeah, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: fuck it up. I don't need you, so that really
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that was okay. So then I thought I'd better get
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: involved in this now. Of course he didn't need me to. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: but that was like ship because I've asked him to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: do all this stuff. Now, yes, maybe he's going to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: bager it up, but they didn't. He nailed the rest
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of it. Pretty unique request to be honest, Yes, however
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a true and that was all he had to do.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: The thing about was just a screwing to the wall.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Everything else he nailed just he just in the end
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: used a grinder, which sounded like it was a debarcle.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: But fortunately I wasn't in the house at the time.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I loved to himself all day, so he was like
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you and me, jays. Yes it was skilled.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: And you know, but the reality is if I get
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: people over to my house to do stuff and stuff
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I can't do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: And funnily enough, this very morning, my wife and I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: were lying in bed and I was talking about how
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: much I admire people that are able to you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I said to how good would it be if you're
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: a builder, a really good builder, and you like a
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: house like mine, for example, you would fill your boots
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: and you would just make it. You would just make
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: it look amazing because you have those skills. And I
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: just have absolute admiration for people that are really good
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: at fixing stuff and it makes me feel And then
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: my wife was like, yeah, but you've got other skills.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Well you do, That's true, you do. It's just like God,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I wish I was a bit more practicing, and other people,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you know, they envy those skills. But of course you're
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: even happy with yourself, you would always far rather be
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: somebody else, have other people's skills.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: And it's also that thing of like having an interest
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: in it. Like my wife often says, I wish I
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: was into gardening, but I just bores the shit out
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: with me, so of course, and you know, if you're
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: not interested.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: In it, then you're not going to learn. She's interested
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in helping people, which is a higher value. I wish
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I had that, but I don't. I just don't give ah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Yes exactly, Shirt four on Radio Hurarkymember The Wary Big
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Show Podcast.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: What you need is a personality trait like what I have,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: where you want to fix it, like you, I welcome something,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: not welcome stuff to break, but I welcome a challenge
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that I.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Can opportunity to learn.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for some reason, I and my dad's the same.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: We've talked about it. You just like you'd love the
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: chance to sit back here. Yes, how am I going
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: to solve this problem?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A problem that I've got with that is that the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: only real things that come up with stuff around the house.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So the other thing was I added on putting pictures
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: up on the wall because I've got all these pictures
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to go up on the wall. So currently, because we've
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: just moved down, they're all just leaning up against the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: wall all over the house. So that's been for two weeks.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Don't you guys take ages discussing where they should go.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I stay out of it. Yeah right, okay, I stay
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: out of it. No one cares about my opinion. Man,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you recognize that over the years, So I'd rather just
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: not get involved. So I said, oh, I will do
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the pictures, and the miss is there she goes, oh no, no,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I'll put those up, and so I was like, oh yeah, okay,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: then sweet airs. So that was our discussion last night,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and so today I hadn't put them up because I've
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: got no doubt you will put them up. My question
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is when will they be put up? Correct? I don't.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I don't hate ship line around the house for ever.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So they're up now, and then we can go from
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: there we can go from the bean up to moving
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: around up, but not on the floor for a month.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, so I'm happy with that. I, you know, definitely
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: wish I did have that trait kesy where I like
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: to fix stuff. I just don't.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: It'sn't as complicated as people think.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm sure with the pictures on the wall,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I would have put eight billion holes in the wall
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: doing what this guy did today, like putting ten pictures
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: on the one wall and sort of spacing them all
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: out the same going to hang because the tension on
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the wire, I would have I would have spent all
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: day doing that holes everywhere, and it still would have
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: looked like ship. Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's that's where things get tricky, like real precison.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: One thing I will say, and it's only a small thing,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: is that I've got better at that kind of thing.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: And the key, as I banged on about for me
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: is preparation and going, Okay, well, if I'm going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: do this, make sure you do it properly. Because before
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I just jump into something and make an absolute mess
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: of it and then go oh fuck that shit and
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: then leave it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Nowadays, now more than ever, you have greater access to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: videos on how to do Yeah, so like if you
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: just watch it or like inhabit, whether you're an article
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: on how stuff work like really like not obviously just
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: for basic stuff, specialized stuff you definitely need a qualified person,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: but most stuff you can fix this out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'll give you a classic case in point,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: a hole in the wall and the.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Jet.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you got a hole there, and a little
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: while back I would have and I did, in fact,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: go how the hell do you fix that? How do
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: you fix that? Because there's no back to it. Yes,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: now I know how to do that, you know what
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I mean? And it's not that complicated. And it was,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: and it was purely through looking at it on YouTube
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and going fixing a.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Hole in the wall and shave it's amazing. Okay, is
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: away this weekend. She gave me one job to do. Yes,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: put the trampoline back together. So we've got a springless trampoline,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: so I had to take and of course they've got
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: walls on them these days, so the kids can't fall
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: off and kill themselves. It would just bullshit. Legs say,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: have to take the legs off them so that the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: rest of it could fit down the side. Of the house,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: absolutely bull like it was to get over there. So
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: she said, yeah, if you could do that and anyway,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So I went down and sort of started fiddling around
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: with it today while old mate was upstairs being a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: man in the house. I thought, I'll just start knocking
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: this about. Get this done. Absolutely no chance whatsoever. Look there,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: looked it up on looked it up on a video.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You have to get strops. So you got these sort
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of U shaped stainless steel legs, yes, with another leg
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that's in the middle, and you have to get strops
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that go right the way around the legs so that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and they have they can handle a thousand kilos of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: pressure so that you can bow them back because they're
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: held under tension. The legs they held undertention, so when
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: they're in it's fine.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: So dangerous, dude.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And so I had to look at this video. He's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: got all six legs with these strops around them, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: has got the the the trampoline itself floating above the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: top of it, and is trying to lower the whole
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: thing onto these six different sets of legs at the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: same time. And you were sitting there and I called
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: them assus, we're going to have to get a man.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You're sitting there.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: With like a hammer, your phone and a hard head
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: on backwards and oh fuck that that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Is insane, unbelievable. How was that the setup?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So when you got the Champolaine, obviously someone came and it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Was already there. We bought it with the house when
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: we moved into it. He bought the trampoline, not the house.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: I remember, because we had a trampoline for the kids
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: as well. What a fucking ball.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Ache it was.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Would have been a square rusty.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: One been getting the springs on and ship it was
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a nightmare.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: So anyway, got us pay some bastard for that, and then.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: They just turned to rust and fall apart and tumbleweed.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Bounce on it a couple of times and then they
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: get disinterested.
• 10:19
