DIY Campers, Learning Chinese & The Uber Ride from Hell
Shane and Dean are back in the studio to recap a wildly chaotic week. Dean is burnt out from the demands of his new job and avoiding Jiu-Jitsu, but he's making up for it by trading questionable Aussie slang and Chinese translations with his coworkers (while trying to dodge HR). Shane breaks down his new DIY camper trailer project—converting an old MDC Jackson forward-fold—which nearly resulted in a lethal gas strut accident and a paper wasp attack. But the real meat of the episode is the boys' attempt to get fitted for Bali wedding suits in Midland, which violently derailed into a massive 10-pint Sunday session, a highly questionable Uber ride, and a Monday morning hangover filled with chicken burger regrets.In This Episode, We Cover:Work Stress & Cultural Exchange: Dea vents about his new job, doing god knows what, and the hilarious (and potentially HR-violating) cultural exchange of teaching his Chinese coworker dirty Aussie slang.The DIY Camper Trailer Project: Shane explains his plan to rip the tent off a high-walled camper trailer to mount a Kings rooftop tent and 1300mm drawers. Plus, the absolute danger of heavy-duty gas struts and cutting into a trailer frame full of angry paper wasps while wearing thongs.The Midland Suit Fitting: Rounding up the lads for beach-themed wedding suits, dealing with Ricky the "Mystery Man" showing up late, and the absolute sticker shock of a $800 shoe and sock bill.The Sunday Bender: What was supposed to be a quick trip to the pub turns into a massive 10-pint session at the Midland Tavern, complete with live bands and revving up the local pensioners.The Aftermath: A blind Uber ride home, starfishing on the bed by 6:30 PM, surviving off Carnival Central lollies, and Dean waking up in a panic wondering if he actually cooked the chicken he fed his kids.Notable Quotes:"I'm looking to get in, out, pub as quick as possible so the missus doesn't know.""Here I am, running around in shorts and thongs... as I'm cutting the thing, there's a huge nest of paper wasps in there. Almost died.""I was starting to think there in the bed. I was like, did I feed the kids? Was the chicken cooked? Are they eating raw chicken?"
