A couple of bits of comedy gold in this shot, Aq’s give a shit being broken (you should really see a doctor about that!) and the Flip Flops… :D

Nice idea the new mic for Aq, nice time of the year to get one too.

Strange how sounds works, through my headset I’ve got the impression that Aq was sitting 2m above and on the right of Jono. Made his words sound more important.

Anyhow, a pleasure as usual

Keep up the good work! Do you think you will ever do episodes where an expert in “the field” will also be part of the podcast?

I think it is an interesting concept, maybe one that would spoil the flow though as you guys have such a rapport!
