Chris and James
C – James, how are you brother?
J – Very well, good morning Chris, well it’s proper afternoon where you are.
C – Hey, the way my head is it could be morning, noon or night?
J – It doesn’t really matter to me at the minute with this Corona thing going on, I’m stuck in the house no matter what.
C – It kinds of bring home the importance of routine.
J – It gives me a lot of time to work on my writing.
C – Of course. I think writing and podcasting are the two disciplines the flourish under these conditions. I call it a fiasco.
J – It certainly does, I don’t have the technical skills down for this, but I’ve been participating in a lot of Zoom calls, more in this last year than in my whole entire life, which is quite a few!

Chris and AJ
C – AJ how are you brother?
AJ – I’m very well Chris, thanks for having me on bro.
C – Ahhh mate it’s my pleasure, you’ve been very kind in having me on twice now, and my gosh, I’m hoping to become a better man after the end of this chat with your super skills!
AJ – It’s a pleasure having you on mate, the feedback I’ve had so far has been really, really good. I had a few people message me who’d never heard about you before, and it was great so I hope you got a few more followers out of it.
C – Mate, it’s all a bit weird to be honest, sorry I’m shining the spotlight back onto me there, which is something we can touch on later, it’s amazing the amount of peoples lives you can reach through this media. Just being myself and that’s all I ever try to be. When you get stuff put back on you like that, let’s just say it’s weird. I still don’t know what to make of it all really.
