Chris and Mike
C – Mike, how are you brother?
M – Excellent, excellent Chris thank you, and thank you for having me on for the chat.
C – Wow, thank you for joining us. I always like a man with a bookcase behind him. Says a lot about you.
M – Lot of cook books!
C – Haha I thought you were going to say 1984, Brave New World and Wild Swans.
M – They’re in the other room.
C – More importantly did you come tooled up (shows Micheal a primary colour water pistol!)
M – Yeah I did, I’ve got my NERF gun, when you’ve got a son in the house you have to be properly prepared. Like a leopard crawling around the house, clearing rooms. He interrogates me from time to time…

#36 Scuba Diving Accidents | Trauma | Dennis O’Connor | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast
Transcript snippet from podcast
Chris and Dennis
C – Hello Friends.
C – Dennis, how are you mate?
D – Very good Chris and yourself?
C- Yes it’s amazing, no delightful to be talking to you in Australia, although I should have read your linked in profile better, as I didn’t realise you’re an Irishman down there.
D – Yes I thought the name would have given it away, the O’Connor part of it.
C – So I know the English sent our convicts down to Australia, was it the same for Ireland, or is my history really that bad?
D – No, your history is good, they did send them here. Some would say it’s the reason I’m here, but I’m denying everything!’
