Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Okay, are we ready for the second installment of our Hobby Hunt series?
Yes, unfortunately you weren't sold on our first installment.
I tried to convince you to join one of my bar classes because I love them.
I can't get enough.
I thought it was great.
I thought it was going to be like a candy bar making class.
It was definitely the opposite.
Or getting your RSA, a bar class.
Yeah, definitely.
Or just like, you know, had monkey bars all day.
Yeah.
But it's interesting.
This time we were both trying something brand new.
First time it was me introducing you to something I love,
but this was something new to both of us.
It was a pottery class.
Yes, and it's something that I've wanted to do for a very,
very long time.
Very excited.
So shall we roll the second edition of?
Yeah, let's get into it.
Okay.
Wow.
I forget how awful that was.
That was beautiful.
Really terrible.
The pottery was really fun.
Like when we got there, the three of us were there
and the studio, the vibes were immaculate, wouldn't you say?
We went along to Silky Shapes Studio in Crow's Nest,
which is North Sydney, and Yagana was there.
She was great.
She was absolutely gorgeous.
God, she was just at one with that clay.
She really was.
She was just an extension of that dirty, dirty mud.
The thing about pottery, though, is, and I think maybe we'll hear this,
it was so meditative.
I felt truly like
because your foot is on a pedal as if you're driving your hands are on the clay your brain
is looking at the clay you're listening to a teacher you and I were talking so all I could
think about was that clay in that moment yeah and so we'll play you how it went as per usual there
will be a video to go with this as well Monday afternoon on our Instagram at couple of mitches
is where you can see the video yeah So firstly, let's get into it.
Can I just paint a picture, sorry, or mould a piece?
Yeah.
Don't have the lingo down.
Fold some wet dirt.
I don't know.
Mitch and I are wearing sculpting aprons,
which are black aprons that come down your bodice,
but then they split at the dick so then they can drape
both thighs because you are literally straddling what looks
like a combustion engine with one pedal and then it's wet,
covered full of water, and you've got a spinny dish,
like a microwave oven without a lid on it, and you've got a pot of clay
and we're sitting there, spread eagle, so Mitch's left knee
is touching my right knee.
Very sensual.
By the way, when you watch the video, one thing you'll notice is that you and I both
wore black.
Oh, we did.
And then because Uganda had this like bookcase with drying pottery behind us in garbage bag.
Yes, yes.
So it wasn't overly aesthetic.
It wasn't pretty.
And so she goes, let me put a sheet up behind you, which was a black sheet.
And we were already wearing black clothes.
So this video, like, God bless Uganda.
It looked so scabby, but it's fine.
We had fun.
So should we take a listen now?
Yes.
So first off, this was the very start of the class.
We met Uganda, obviously.
She showed us how to use the wheel.
And so we hadn't even touched the clay yet.
And yet you just went full ball on that pedal and the clay went flying.
All right, here we are in silky shapes in crow's nest, Mitch.
How do you feel?
I'm really nervous, actually.
I'm not.
I feel like I'm going to really nail this.
I want to nail it, but I just feel that I won't.
And I'm going to take it really personally if your pot's better than mine.
Shall we begin?
Shall we make something?
Yes.
Uganda's here.
She's going to show us how to do it.
I bet you're going to make it look really easy and we're going to suck at it.
But go on.
What do we need to know?
All right.
So we're going to learn how to make a cylinder.
So cylinder can be a cup, like a cereal or a rice bowl.
A cigarette ashtray, maybe.
Could be.
Yeah.
I've actually quit, so I don't need one.
He vapes now.
First of all, try not to have any expectations.
So don't think about the product at the end. Just think about all the steps you're doing. He vapes now. First of all, try not to have any expectations.
So don't think about the product at the end.
Just think about all the steps you're doing.
Okay, so it's more about the journey.
Exactly. I feel like we're about to head into an IVF meeting.
It is about the journey, Mitch.
It is.
It's about the journey.
Yes, our sex is good, but my cum has no kids in it.
It's not my fault.
Why don't you quickly tell us what we have?
What's this thing called?
That's a wheel.
That's a pottery wheel.
They're electric, so you only need to push your foot down on the pedal like driving.
Okay.
Have you tried yours, Mitch?
No.
Let's go.
Have you tried?
Bang it.
Oh, nice.
Look at that.
See, Jen is here filming.
This is why she couldn't do it.
She doesn't have a license to use an accelerator.
Hi.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
That actually knocked my testicles a little bit and that hurt mildly.
What have you done?
Sorry.
I went a bit too fast.
I've got skin nuts on my wheel.
So literally off to a flying start.
Now, what would you call this, Shagana?
That's a wheel.
So your clay went flying all over you, hit you in the nuts.
That was great.
Hit me in the balls.
We hadn't even gotten started yet.
No, we hadn't.
It wasn't stuck to the wheel.
That's why I asked what it was.
She is very sweet.
And I think we were both very confident at the start, but it quickly dwindles.
Yeah.
Like this is when the competitiveness started to kick in.
So I challenge you all to keep track of who's winning.
Who's the better ceramicist at this point as we go through.
So this is when we actually got started.
Who's the better ceramicist at this point as we go through?
So this is when we actually got started.
Just picture a blob of clay in front of us,
and we had to turn that into a corn shape.
Yeah, we did, yeah.
A very phallic shape.
Our hands were either side of it, drenched in water, and we'd have to pull our hands up slowly around this article.
It was horny.
Okay, so use a lot of water.
Okay.
Make sure your hand's always wet and slippery. If it gets dry, it's going to break. Okay, so we can lot of water. Okay. Make sure your hands always wet and slippery. If it gets dry, it's gonna break.
Okay, so we can get wet now? Yeah. So spin fast please. Yep.
All right, take a handful of water, pour it on top of your clay.
All right, so a generous handful and
use both hands, bring your hands up and in, make your clay look like a con.
Ooh, a cock?
Mitch! Oh, sorry, I thought you said cock. Sorry, sorry, it's look like a con. Ooh, a cock?
Mitch!
Oh, sorry, I thought you said cock.
Sorry, sorry, it's been a couple of weeks.
Sorry, sorry.
Oh, God.
You've done enough.
I did amazingly.
You did.
I've done enough.
What happened?
What have you done?
That's lack of water.
Lack of water?
Yeah.
Okay, my GP says the same thing.
You've always been a bit dry.
I have, I have.
So now we're going to pretend that was meant to be.
Never happened.
That was embarrassing.
No, it wasn't.
While we're recording, we'll never forget.
And I'm the one person that's done this before.
Okay.
Have you?
I didn't realise that.
You've done it before and I'm still killing it so far.
Also, I thought you said that's the luck of the water.
It sounds like a beautiful novel.
Where do I read that one?
You need to read the luck of the water.
Yeah, so I decapitated my corn nut.
Yeah, you did.
And I actually circumcised it because it looked like,
it did look like an uncircumcised dick.
It wasn't supposed to.
No, most definitely not.
I was trying to make a bowl.
It was too dry.
It was so dry.
Well, this is the point where we turned the corn shape into a flat shape.
And so we were sort of creating like picture a cheese platter,
you know, the little block of brie.
Oh, yeah.
That's what we were making.
Well described.
Yes.
A little block of brie cheese.
That's what we're making at this point.
Now we're going to do the next step if you guys want to watch this.
Yeah, yeah.
So we're going to spin fast, pour water, left hand at six,
right hand like this on top like karate chop.
Yeah.
And you karate chop down.
Oh, karate chop. Oh, wow. And karate chop. Yeah. And you karate chop down. Oh, karate chop.
And karate chop.
Put your elbows down if you can.
You can stop.
You can keep going.
I'm amazing.
Is that good?
Is that good?
Very good.
My cock turned into a pot.
Mitchell.
Oh, you've lapped me.
You've overtaken me.
Let's fix that.
Yours looks like the mushrooms that killed that family in Melbourne this weekend.
Yeah, would you like a taste?
No, I'm alright, thanks.
Jesus. Yeah, so at this point
I'm now the shit one. You're better than me.
I'm overtaken.
And so I don't talk much after this because I'm
so fucking focused on being better than you.
You actually did. If you watch the video
Mitch gets so silent. It happened in
the bar class. I was confident at the start
that in the last ten minutes I just shut up. Yeah, it was the other in the bar class. I was confident at the start that in the last 10 minutes,
I just shut up.
Yeah, it was the other way around this time.
I became really, really nervous because I couldn't talk.
I was so focused on being good at it.
Yeah, okay.
And so we've got the block of brie cheese in front of us now,
and so we were supposed to, I guess, finger the middle to turn the block into a bowl.
So to speak.
You've got to make a gaping hole, and this is when we both
started to notice how fucking sensual it was feeling, you know?
Next step, we're going to do opening.
So if you want to watch, fast speed, water.
I'm only going to use my thumbs, two thumbs together.
You're going to go in the middle until you have one centimetre left on the bottom.
On the bottom, okay.
So don't touch the bottom.
Then you're going to bring your thumbs out like this.
Wow, this is, well I've been there before, yeah.
Reminds me of my birth.
This opening here should be like five centimeters wide,
so big enough for one hand to fit in.
You don't want to go through to the bottom.
Yes.
Well that'd be a pretty shit plate, wouldn't it?
It would, no, oh it's a plate, sorry.
Keep going down until you have a central left. This is quite sensual, isn't it? Oh my, it's gorgeous.? Sorry. Keep going down until you have a sensual left.
This is quite sensual, isn't it?
Oh, mine's gorgeous.
Nice, nice, nice.
And then do we pull out?
Mitchell, done.
And, yeah, push your thumbs out for this.
And that's done.
Oh, my God.
Well done.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God.
I'm so impressed.
That's great.
I hate that yours is clearly better than mine.
It's a bowl.
Well done.
I could eat cereal out of that.
Okay.
I wouldn't feed my cat out of that.
It really is quite sensual, you're right.
I get the whole ghost scene now.
Do you have a partner?
No.
Have you ever brought someone here for a date?
Well, people come in here for dates.
Do they?
Yeah.
Sometimes a girl doesn't know it's pottery.
Yeah. Guy would arrange
everything and she will show up like in
lace gown. Oh, how
spewing would you be? Looking beautiful. Not the good
gown. And then he's pulling open a bowl.
Yeah. She's going,
I'm jealous of a pot.
Sorry. What?
That was clearly delusional. Cue the ghost music. This is when
we're feeling sensual.
She reckons a lot of people go on dates there.
I do it for sure.
Yeah, I get that.
Yeah, I love that.
I love a hands-on experience, something to reference.
I really am down for that.
I feel like if someone suggested a pottery date to me, be it a surprise or not, I'd be a bit off-put at first.
But, hey, it'd be fucking memorable, wouldn't it?
Totally.
I'd definitely remember that date. I'd pretend to do, it'd be fucking memorable wouldn't it? Totally. I'd definitely remember
that date. I'd pretend to do it to their butt
or something. Oh my god. With
your garner there.
You need to
look away at the white guy. You're like, hey, your garner
your garner want to look away.
We're about to get fucking frisky.
Clean them up with the sponge.
Yuck.
So at this point, we've put a hole we've fingered a hole in our breech.
No, I'm actually introducing the next bit of audio.
Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
At this point we've fingered a hole into the breeches.
Yes, we have.
We have.
And so it's like a really tiny flat bowl and this is when we had to stretch it up and make it a taller bowl.
Yeah, it was going from a small bowl to a big bowl.
Yes, correct.
And remember at this point you're in the lead, right?
Like, you're obviously doing a better job than me.
Haven't forgotten.
I'm doing exceptionally well.
Uganda has got my resume, about to offer me a job as a tutor.
Let's see how that lasted.
Okay, so for next step, we're going to need medium speed.
Yours isn't as big as ours.
Have we gone too big?
Yeah.
Oh, no, she was too polite to say it.
Once again, our hole is too gaping.
Been there before.
So do we need to close up our hole?
Do we need to rest for a few days?
That would be good, yeah.
If you spin medium speed, wet your hands.
We're going to mainly use the middle finger.
Yeah.
Ah, perfect, my favourite one.
So keep moving upwards.
Keep moving upwards really gently.
Really, really gently. Don't squeeze
hard, Mitch. Oh, no.
Oh!
Oh, how embarrassing. I've beheaded
my piece. Fucked it.
And I was the star pupil.
You got cocky, mate. Absolutely
ruined it. Yeah, how embarrassing.
I snapped it in half.
My piece fell.
So humiliating.
In front of my eyes.
And you know what?
Me and Yigeli looked at each other.
Uganda.
Uganda.
From Silky Shapes.
From Silky Shapes.
In Croze.
Yeah, the way of the water avatar part two.
And she looks at me.
She's so disappointed.
But then I look over at Mitchell and the joy in his face.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm back, bitch.
I'm back in the running.
Unbridled joy.
So mine has been cut off. She gets up out of her chair and she comes and fix mine. Yeah, she'm like, I'm back, bitch. I'm back in the running. Unbridled joy. So mine has been cut off.
She gets up out of her chair and she comes and fix mine.
Yeah, she did have to give you a helping hand,
which gave you a bit of an advantage, I would have thought.
But anyway.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Finally, this is when we put the finishing touches on our bowls.
Although yours looked a bit more like a cup, to be fair.
Yeah, it was half the size.
Yes. So, yeah, this was half the size. Yes.
So, yeah, this is the end of our pottery class.
Yes, and then Uganda asked Jenna to make a judgment
who did a better job at their pottery.
So we basically, this is it, we're finalising it.
Yeah, so you keep going up.
Pressure.
Until you get five mil thickness of the wall.
Okay, I've got the death wobbles.
Okay, so Mitch, we're
going to compress the rim for you. Compress the rim? Yeah, so see how the rim
is going up and down? You aiming for this? Yeah. No bumps. See in my head, mine looks
like that. Okay. And I've got pottery dysmorphia. Shit, mine's taken on an oval
shape, it's not round anymore. That's okay. That's perfect, actually. You've done really well. I wouldn't say perfect.
It's almost like I'm intuitive. Natural.
That's pretty much done.
Wow. It's a coffee cup.
Do you want it to stay as is
or do you want me to even it out for you?
What do you mean? Are you saying mine's not perfect?
Yes, it is perfect. Yeah, no, it's
not perfect. Jenna, do you want a hug?
Get away from me. Go away.
Okay, let's leave it as is. It's perfect. Are Jenna, do you want a hug? Get away from me. Go away. Okay, let's leave it at this.
It's perfect.
Yeah.
Are you happy with yours?
I don't think it matters what I think.
I think Uganda, the top dog of Silky Shaped Studio,
who did a better job?
I.
Well, duh.
Out of the two Mitches.
And you can be honest.
We will need to ask Jenna to judge.
All right, Jenna.
Have a look at our pots and tell us who's a superior.
I mean, mine's not really a pot.
Mine is just a...
It's a toothbrush holder.
It is a toothbrush holder and Mitchell's cat bowl.
Yeah, actually.
Well, to be honest, I wouldn't let Connie even near that thing.
No, it's a WH&S.
Look at the jagged edges.
Honestly, they're both terrible.
It's really hard to decide. I'd love to see you do a better job, Jenna. Such support, Jenna. I'm at the jagged edges. Honestly, they're both terrible. It's really hard to decide.
I'd love to see you do a better job, Jenna.
Such support, Jenna.
I'm going to go with Mitch.
Hey!
Oh, God.
Thanks, Jenna.
Half of it's missing.
Thank you so much.
This was great.
My pleasure.
I actually feel, I don't know how you feel, Mitch,
but I feel like this is a hobby that I want to continue.
It's very rare that you actually
continue though yeah how much do these cost because what Mitch does is he buys all the bullshit
drops all this money on it and then just forgets about it like he's got dj decks a banjo all these
things he's just bought the equipment and they're not actually used how much would this set you back
um probably a couple of thousands just for the wheel. You're good for it.
Yeah, that's all right, yeah.
But there are options.
You don't have to own everything.
There are lots of different studios.
You can go and do it at the studio and you can do it whenever you have time.
You don't have to commit to it.
I actually am very, I think I'm going to continue this hobby.
Was it therapeutic?
Yeah, and it was also like it keeps your brain and your hands busy.
Yeah, I've never been more focused. No brain and your hands busy. Yeah, never being more focused.
No, I wasn't speaking.
My brain was on.
Is that rare?
Very, very.
Yeah, my therapist will be very impressed.
The most common feedback I get is people say that I did not think about anything for two hours.
Yeah.
So you're so focused on your hands that all the other noise in your mind just disappears.
So it's meditative.
I can't say that word, meditative.
It is.
It is meditative without trying to meditate because everyone says, I cannot meditate.
My monkey brain never stops.
But when you're doing this, you're meditating without knowing.
Yeah.
I love it.
I'm sold.
Now, important question, Uganda.
As a professional ceramicist,
do you ever bother getting your nails done
or is it just going to get wrecked?
Yeah, no, I don't.
I'm missing one of the nails.
What?
What did you do?
Because it rubs against the wheel.
I did actually notice that.
You can recognize putters by this third nail.
Oh, that's the most common one.
Half of it is missing.
Oh, show me.
Because when you're doing this, coning up and down, you're touching the wood.
Oh my God. You actually don't feel it. Then you sit at home and you're like, what happened?
Where has it gone? Nah, that's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Thank you so much. This was great. I've got a new hobby.
Congratulations. So early in the hunt. And we've got a new urn
for the next strand of ours to die because that is hideous and we'll put them in that.
Oh.
There we go.
Like we said, the video's up on our Instagram at Couple of Mitches
on Monday afternoon.
Yes.
We should do another.
I love what we did with the bar video where we got the early bird listeners
to comment something.
Yeah, to prove that they heard the podcast first.
What could be something pot related that they can comment on the video?
Oh, maybe just the leaf emoji or just
420. Blaze it. The maple
leaf emoji is usually what people
put on their dating profile, like on Grindr for example.
It's a maple leaf emoji. They're a dealer.
You could put that. I like the maple
leaf. We don't want people thinking that
our page is, you know, a conduit
for weed. Yeah, we can't just have that emoji.
Like a pot pun. Are there any?
Yeah, I'm sure we can think of one.
Yeah, some pot.
Yeah.
Why is it?
Oh, we're old.
This is Uganda's claim to fame.
Oh, good, good, good.
C-L-A-Y.
Yes.
Good, good.
Uganda barely know her.
Uganda didn't fucking touch her.
One of the many.
If you can't think of something, a pot joke.
Okay, write a pot joke or the maple leaf emoji.
A pot pun.
A pot pun.
Yeah, don't bully Yagana.
She'll be so confused.
Oh, no, no.
I adore Yagana.
I want her as my teacher.
In the same way that you were a bit like, oh, my God, the bar teacher, Mandy, is so cool.
Elle.
Elle.
I thought Yagana was so cool.
Yeah, I loved her.
She was adorable.
And she's right.
That ring finger on her left hand looked like a fucking Frankfurter
that had been chopped off.
Well, it's time for the verdict.
Oh, oh, my God.
Are we going to actually commit to this hobby?
Have we found a new one?
Oh, my God.
Well, are we all going to commit or is it just you and me, Mitch?
Do we all have to decide?
True, Jenna didn't actually give it a crack.
But for someone who was watching.
Well, I can't because my nails, it gets into my nails because I've got cat nails.
All right, so that's an instant no from Jenna.
Disqualified.
Mitchell, you can go next.
I didn't work this hard to quit my nail biting habit just to have some fucking pottery wheel rip my nail off.
No way.
I can't risk losing a nail.
Sorry.
Holy shit, it's a no from Mitchell.
Understandable.
Wow, we're burning through these verdicts.
You made it pretty clear in that that you were sold on it,
but I should say it's been a couple of weeks since we've recorded that,
and so, God, we know what you're like.
Yeah.
Would you like to know the truth of the matter?
Yeah, go on.
I'm in negotiations with someone on Gumtree.
No, hear me out.
Go on.
I specifically said you don't need to buy your own wheel.
You can just go to a studio.
Do you see me installing a ballet bar in my home? You can't specifically say you don't need to buy your own wheel. You can just go to a studio.
Do you see me installing a ballet bar in my home?
I just go to the studio where they've got bars.
I am in negotiations with someone who is selling all their gear,
which is probably not a good sign because that's where I'm going to be in six weeks.
However, I think we've landed on a fair and reasonable price for a pottery wheel.
No, Mitchell, don't.
This is what you do.
You've got so much bullshit that you don't commit to.
And it will be coming home because it is my new hobby.
I accept.
I love pottery.
Okay.
I mean, that's a win, but I don't think you're going about it the right way.
It's a half win.
I also had a listener message me that does pottery classes in Cronulla, which is where I live currently with mum and dad.
And she said, come to the studio and you can do weekly sessions.
And I'm going to do that.
Well, do that.
Instead of getting your own wheel, there's no need.
That's what I was trying to Google, a message, because she messaged me inviting me, bless
her.
Her name's Ashley.
She listens to the show.
Ceramics pottery class in Tarrant Point.
I'd love you to come.
She messaged the two of us, actually, and invited us.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Hi, darlings.
My name's Ashley.
Currently a few wines deep. Well, tell her to fucking forget about it. Remove me from the group chat. I'm love you to come. She messaged the two of us actually and invited us. Oh really? Yeah. Hi darlings. My name's Ashley. Currently a few wines deep. Well tell her to fucking forget about it. Remove
me from the group chat. I'm not losing a nail.
Well, I'm so
happy. Oh, this is great. I've got a new
hobby. I understand where your head's
at when it comes to, I've got a new hobby. I've got
to buy the shit to go with it. Yeah, I know. Like I get it
but you don't need to because I did the same
thing when I finally found a new
Pilates and yoga studio to go to,
I was like, I'm going to get a new mat.
It's going to be so good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It wasn't a fucking cheap mat.
Yeah.
It's got this gorgeous Indigenous artwork on it.
I've seen it.
It was expensive, but I was like, nah, nah, all good.
Oh, yeah.
I'll rock up to the first class and they're like,
nah, you don't need to bring your own mat.
We've got them.
Oh, no.
So I don't think you go into a pottery class, they're going to expect you to bring your
own fucking wheel.
You don't need to buy it.
It's also like 40 kilos.
Yeah.
I did search kilns, but they require a lot of energy.
Yeah, what are you going to do after you make a pot without a kiln?
Also, what am I going to do to my dad?
Dad, I'm going to fuck on Thursday, but then also I'm making pottery in the backyard on
Friday.
So you need to fuck off out of your own house that you're paying the mortgage on.
Think of the mess you're going to make if you get your own pottery wheel.
Like it's so much easier to go to a class and then just leave it behind.
Sorry, I thought you were saying think of the mess you're going to make if you fuck
on Thursday.
I thought, how do you know?
Get your mind out of the gutter, you grump.
Sorry.
We love you, Jemama.
What was it?
Uganda.
Uganda.
From Silky Shaped Studio in Croesus.
Hit it up, guys.
And we thank you very much for having us.
Hit it up.
It's a beautiful studio.
Yeah.
Now, do we need to continue the hobby hunt?
Because you reckon you've found one.
Because I have been getting a lot of suggestions sent in.
Oh, definitely.
I think this is great and I think we're staggering.
You want to continue?
I want to continue.
I'm not fully sold on having a brand new hobby that I can commit to.
Pottery's hard and lengthy.
Is it?
What?
Well, it just takes time.
If you want a fucking mug, it takes six weeks and you've got to kiln it for a month and
you've got to bake it.
No.
I want something more instant.
Yeah, but that's the beauty of the hobby, you know?
Yeah, but I'm very impatient.
So something a bit more instant could be nice.
Okay.
Well, I'll tell you some of the suggestions.
Lily said that we should do canoe polo.
Absolutely not, Lily.
Do you listen to these podcasts?
It's basically water polo, but in kayaks, she said.
You do water polo.
You paddle around in a kayak and try and score goals that are hung up in the air.
Lots of fun, she said.
And you come from a water polo background, right?
I do.
So just think of that, but in a canoe.
I've actually thought about getting back into water polo.
There's a queer water polo team in Sydney.
I was actually thinking that the other day.
I was like, why is he looking for a new hobby when he's clearly got one that he used to be quite good at, by all accounts?
I know.
And I'm wanting to do swimming again.
I want to swim with my dad.
He swims every morning at the beach.
Anyway, I don't think kayak.
No, it sounds like Quidditch and that's silly.
It does, actually.
You know that Macquarie University just down the road from our studio,
they've got a Quidditch team.
Should we sign up?
Yeah.
UNSW, where I went, does as well.
They verse each other.
Do they play?
Do they hold on?
Is it role play?
Like, are they Hufflepuffs?
Like, are they role playing?
I don't know.
At O-Week, when I saw the stall for a Quidditch team, I was like, isn't that fucking flying?
What are they doing?
No, isn't that fucking mythical?
It's not real.
God, that's dumb.
And the bludgers looked heavy on Harry Potter.
The bludgers?
Oh, my God, they did.
And I did like the look of the snitch, though, to be perfectly honest with you.
Oh, yeah.
That looks really fun.
Yeah.
Wow, okay.
Rachel also suggested that we do aerial hoop.
It's technically considered a circus art.
Basically, it's a suspended metal hoop that you use to do aerobics.
Oh, absolutely fucking not.
I think that'd be right up my alley just finally.
Well, you can do it in your own spare time.
No, thank you.
Okay.
Angus suggested one of those smash rooms where you just get a bunch of the pottery that we
made, really.
Just a bunch of ceramics, like plates and shit, and you hit it with a hammer.
Oh my God.
I'd absolutely adore that.
I've seen those.
It's just like a one white room.
It's like four walls and they lock the door and you wear safety gear and you throw ceramics
like you're at a Greek fucking wedding.
Oh, there's no hammer?
You just throw it?
I've seen different ones.
I've seen hammers. I've seen hammers.
I've seen axes.
I'd really like to do that.
Should we do a smash room next?
Oh my God.
But is that a hobby or is that not just something you do after you break up with your partner
to get your anger out?
Yeah, but they probably have membership things.
It depends on how much you fall in love with it.
It's probably on the same wavelength as bowling.
Some people would consider that a hobby.
Some people would consider that something you do with your cousins.
Oh, let's do a smash room because the three of us have so much pent up anger.
I just start hitting you.
Would you kill me?
I think Jenna would go fucking nuts.
Jenna's like, I don't need a hammer.
I've got my nails.
Let's do a smash room.
That audio is going to be very hard to play back.
It's going to be grating on the ears.
Ah, well, it's fine.
It'll be fun for us.
It's all about the video.
It's all about the footage.
All right.
Hobby number three. Let's do a smash room. It's all about the footage. Alright, hobby number three.
Let's do a Smash Room. I'm sold.
Fuck yes. Alright. Coming soon, I guess.
How the fuck did we start with Quidditch
and end on Smash Room?
