On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Medication, Easter and Challenges. Last episode I talked about a new drug that has been listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, for individuals whom have CF. Fortunately for me, I’ve been on the new drug for a few weeks now, and it’s been very positive. Im just waiting to have a few tests to see what the medication has been doing for my health, hopefully I get some positive results back when they happen. Interestingly, I also talked about Easter in the last episode, but not quite like this. Why doesn’t Easter have decorations like Christmas? Easter lights, Easter carols or even Easter trees or whatever. This could be a marketing masterstroke for us. Last year during May I did a 65 Roses challenge, to help raise some awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis. This year I’m doing that again, my challenge is to ride 650km on my bike and also attempt my longest ever ride, currently my longest ride is 113km. I’ll add a link to my fundraising page below, so if you’d like to donate you can, however I would appreciate it if you could share the link on your socials. 65 Roses Fundraiser Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Easter, Drugs and Bills. Today is ‘Good Friday’ now, our family doesn’t have many traditions or anything like that, but one thing that is somewhat of a tradition is no red meat on Good Friday. It’s just something that we’ve always done, I think it’s something mainly from mums side of the family. But, it’s always an excuse to have some nice fish or something like that. As some of you may be aware, I’ve got a condition called Cystic Fibrosis and fortunately there has been a new drug listed on the PBS. The new drug is called Trikafta and it does all sorts of fancy stuff, all going well I’ll hopefully be starting it next week. I will keep you updated on that in the next episode. Wrapping up, good old Spotify have billed me! Simply, my 3 month trial of Premium finished up at the start of the month. But, instead of getting a message, email or whatever to say ‘oh your premium is up’ I just got done the 12 bucks! Scoundrels.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Travesties, Moneypenny and Signs. A few weeks ago, or whenever it actually was, I went out for St Patrick's day. Of course I had a Guinness, because that’s a legal requirement, but I saw something that is a crime against the thick frothiness that is a Guinness. If you know how a Guinness is poured, its a bit of a process, first you pour ¾ of it, then wait for it to ‘settle’ then top it off, well what I saw that night was the ‘topping off’ being done by a beer! Not more Guinness, I wanted to ask the person who got the drink what the heck it was about, but they were with a group of other people. You know how it is….. I had a slight run in with a lady who had an infamous name, that name is, Moneypenny! Miss or Mrs Moneypenny! Either way, Moneypenny exists outside the world of Bond and in my town. Who’d of thought is, not me that’s for sure. Lastly, I saw a guy reverse into a sign, and just drive off. The guy was reversing out of their driveway and opposite there was a sign that had something like ‘Event in Progress’ on it, it was just a temporary sign. But the reverser, just hit it and then drove off. I guess given that their vehicle was a ‘work car’ (it had business branding all over it) they probably didn’t care if it had damage on it!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Monitors, Locked Out, Tools. Computer monitors, what a thing they are, they make computers useful! Just last week, ours went up the snuff, great. Luckily I was able to hook up the TV as a quick short term fix, I was also lucky to be able to get a good replacement via the evolution of ‘click and collect’ not knowing how stock is and all that jazz. I think a new computer is in order next though. Over the weekend, I made the wild decision to go for a ride on meh bike, however, as I left the house I didn’t have my drink bottle with me. Pretty much instantly I also realised I didn’t have my key with me ether, total disaster! But thankfully (I guess) our house has a ‘trick’ you can use to get inside, to which I pulled and got inside, after pulling some ‘mission impossible’ moves! People mouthing off are complete goons, or in this case ‘tools’, also over the weekend I was just going for a slow ride in the evening, and as I was going around a corner near a set of traffic lights, I have some snoozer say ‘licence and registration thanks’ now if I had my licence on me I probably would of stopped to show them. I wonder how that would of gone down? Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Network Outages, Jobs and Christmas Lights. On Tuesday this week, someone cut the cable! Yes, my state has a interconnector that runs from us to mainland Straya. The cable’s (I think there is three all up) supply electricity and internet/phone services. But, on Tuesday some cowboy on the ‘big island’ damaged one of the cables doing civil works, as a result for about 6-7ish hours there was no landline or mobile phone service, and also no internet! But, shockingly despite not having a connection, the sky didn’t fall in…. I’ve managed to con someone into giving me a job! And it’s at a bike shop! Hype. Longevity, is subject to my passing the standard 3 month probation period, but hopefully I can manage that and if I do, I might treat myself to a delicious new bike. Christmas lights, I shouldn't be talking about them in early March, jet I am. Some houses near me STILL have them up and on during the evening/nights. I’m not into this, it’s ok to keep them up, but don't turn them on until December! Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Best Friend’s, Camel’s and Dates. So, one of my best friends! Has given me the ‘label’ or ‘title’ im not sure what to use here, of their ‘Best Friend’ and I feel that’s a big call, maybe even a captains call. At the time I wasn’t into it, and that I felt that I probably need to be doing more, for them to be able to handle that title. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually given someone personally the title of being my bestie. I’ve got a top three, and they sort of change around a little depending on what’s been going on etc. But yeah, I’m someones best friend, and its on the internet so it must be true!!!! I saw a Camel, umm, I’m not sure where else to take this. When I initially saw it I did a triple take to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. Luckily for me I was with some other people who also saw the Camel, so I know im not crazy….. In recent times I’ve been doing some Archaeology work, it’s interesting stuff. And when it comes to ageing finds it can be tricky, but luckily ‘The Boss’ has an encyclopedia of makers marks, for old porcelain and china. That means depending on the mark and if it’s fully intact, you can date something right to the day of manufacture!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Scooters, 22 and Bouldering. Just before Christmas, my city started a e-scooter trial, and I’ve had two people say to me that I need to talk about them on the show. That said, I dont really have much to say about them, I’ve not used one and I don’t really need to. However, I may go and try one just for the sake of it. Secondly, I just chat about a few things I have on my ‘Stuff for 22’ list, it mainly contains visiting places around where I live, places that are stupidly close to where I live, but have just never gone too. One big ticket item though is to get a Hammock! Earlier in the week, two of my friends had their birthday, so they decided that the ‘friend group’ should go Bouldering/Indoor rock climbing. I’ve not done this before, but it was rather challenging and enjoyable, I also took my action cam with me, so keep an eye out on the Vlog channel for a video soon.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to read you a story! Some tidying up of the spare room has been started, and as a result I found one of my favourite childhood books. Dr Dog, and you’ll be able to get nostalgic with me as I read you the story. Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Record Update, Tractors and Meetings. So my record has arrived! After being told the other week by the retailer, that they didn’t know when it was going to be here, I’ve now got it! I bet it was all a con, and they had it all the time the scoundrels… What’s the most ‘unusual’ thing you’ve been a passenger in? I had a slightly novel experience recently, where I was a passenger in a tractor that got driven through town! My brother who does some tractor work had a hay bailing job one weekend, so I went for a ride. However, we had to drive the tractor across town to get where the job was! Lastly, I waffle about a meeting I had a week or so ago, not much to report on that really. I was unsure what I wanted to get out of it, but I think it was positive, but without immediate action. However, a future ‘call to action’ was tabled, so that’s something I guess!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Plates, Digs and Records. Have you ever had something ‘explode’ in your hands? Well in my first story, if I could even call it a story. I talk about holding a plate and having it break in half, maybe I’ve got some sort of ‘zen’ power!! Have you ever done a job, that’s interesting, but not exciting? I think this would be a fair assessment of an Archaeology dig I helped out on recently. Basically we were digging 50×50cm square pits, to a depth of ‘that cant go any further’ Interesting, unexciting, but a good workplace. ABBA, have a new album out. So I thought because I’m a mildly good son, I’d get it for my mothers Christmas gift. However, despite it having an ‘arrival’ date of November 5th, and it being ‘available’ online from the retailer, it’s not here yet. I received a call from the retailer a few days ago, basically saying they don't have it and they don't know when they’ll get supply. Thanks for that…..

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking I’m going to talk about, Reaction Videos, Red Heels and Disappearances. Do you like ‘Reaction Videos’ because, shocker, I think they’re a bit lame. Firstly why would you want to watch someone watching something? And secondly it shows how sheltered some people are, in regards to the rest of the world. Not much more to say on that! Do you sometimes wear clothes that are not ‘associated’ to your gender? On a recent trip to Target, I observed a guy wearing a pair of saucy red heels! Like not a stiletto situation, but a heeled ‘woman's’ shoe. Cowboy boots have a heel so who cares!, but the noise, why so clunky. Is that the word I want to use, I guess it is because I have…. I was riding my Mountain Bike around a bit of parkland the other day, there is various tracks and dog areas at this particular location. Anyway, I was coming up behind someone who was walking, and as I overtook them I ‘scared’ them a little. After I apologised for doing so, I decided I should go back and have a bit more of a chat with said person, so I did a quick loop back to near where it all went down. The person however, was literally nowhere to be see, they’d completely disappeared and im at a total loss at to where exactly. That got me thinking, did that person only exist for the sole purpose of that chance encounter, and the universe took them away after I decided I wanted more interaction? Or most likely im completely overthinking it….. UPDATED LINKS Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

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?

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... UPDATED LINKS Podcast Website Twitter Discord Email: lukewhostalkingpod@gmail.com Use #LWT in your Tweets and Social Media Posts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
