We’ve flipped the microphones again and invited copywriter Kirsty Fanton back into the studio to interview us for the 130th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. This is the episode where we answer important questions like... What’s a furfie? What’s a ripsnorter? And has Rob ever cried in a movie? And what disgusting work habits does Kira have? Plus we talk about what the Copywriter Think Tank is like—it’s only open for new members once a year and we’re taking applications right now. Here are a few of the topics we covered:

•  our favorite moments from TCCIRL and why this year was even better than last

•  the speakers who stood out—the people you definitely want to watch when the videos are ready

•  a short description of the “lost” panel discussion

•  the new round of The Copywriter Think Tank

•  the importance of balancing financial success with a personal life

•  Kira’s favorite post from her blog about being tall in New York

•  Rob reveals that he has cried in a movie and that he can’t even remember the right breed of dog in the movie

•  the thing that Rob did that still bothers Kira

•  what Rob and Kira’s childhood hobbies were

We think this one is kind of fun. Make sure you stick around for the “lightning round” at the end to really get to know your hosts. It’s easy to listen, just click the play button below, or download the episode to your favorite podcast app. Readers can scroll down for a full transcript.

Kirsty:            What if you could have a yarn with ridgy-didge copywriters and other experts, ask them about their ripsnorters and furphies, their work processes and habit-a-roos, then pitch an idea or two to inspire your own hard yakka. That's what Rob and Kira do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. And if you haven't already guessed, today's episode is coming to you from the land down under, where we drive on the left, celebrate Christmas in the sweaty peak of summer, and wear thongs on our feet.

Given everything is upside down and inside out over here, it's only fair that I'm flipping the tables, and getting Robira to spill the beans on all things TCC. We'll get the down low on last months In Real Life event, a sneak peak at the new and improved Copywriter Think Tank, and the inside scoop on Rob's most woo woo moment, and Kira's grossest working from home habit.

Hey guys.

Kira:   That was the best intro ever.

Rob:   I might have to leave. I'm a little weirded out right now. That was English, right? You were speaking English?

Kirsty:            I was speaking English, Rob.

Kira:   Yeah, but what is a furphie?

Kirsty:            A furphie's like an error or a mistake.

Kira:   Wow. Okay. Definitely using that one.

Rob:   Nice.

Kirsty:            It’s a good word. You can drop it in when you're over here next month, Rob. You'll sound like a local.

Rob:   Yeah. I can't wait. I'm going to like just memorize this, ripsnorters and furphies. Got it. Ready to go.

Kirsty:            You'll fit right in. Well, guys, it's so nice to be chatting with you again so soon. I feel like I'm getting maximum in Robira time this month because I was over with you guys in Brooklyn like what, two weeks ago? For the final-

Kira:   Yeah.

Kirsty:            ... Think Tank workshop and also for of course TCC IRL version 2.0. So, how are you both after what I imagine has been a huge month at your end?

Kira:   How are you, Rob?

Rob:   I am great. I am-

Kira:   You're always great.

Rob:   ... we've had some time to rest and start picking up the pieces. It felt like it was a success. You're right though, it was a hard work. It was tiring.
