Welcome back! Worst Work Disaster Story: I was 17 & working for a property manager doing building maintenance. He told me to go get a 5-gallon bucket of white paint from the storeroom & carry it up a long flight of outdoor stairs to a patio. I tried but it was SO heavy (about 60 lbs/27 kg), so I told him I can’t lift it all that way, it’s too heavy. Nonsense he said, just go slow and lug it up the stairs slowly one step at a time. So that’s what I tried, until about halfway up it was so heavy & I was shaking & sweating, and the handle slipped out of my hands. The bucket slammed down on the next step and exploded, the lid flew off and I got drenched with white paint head to toe, paint flowing all down the staircase. I was so mad I then squelched up the rest of the stairs, across the long patio to his upstairs office, dripping white footprints behind me the whole way, walked into the hallway & stood there dripping white paint in front of him. “I told you it was too heavy,” and that was my last day on that job, I quit. 😤
As a kid I was a pizza delivery driver for a small local joint. Anyways one day I’m hooking out about 20min drive to the persons house and I look to my left and see no pizzas… F*%K left them on the roof. Turned around drove back there they are on the road spread everywhere 🤣boss was pissed off and I had to call and apologise and the customer was just cracking up laughing and all ended well
Now TWI Call Music 119 is out for this Xmas.... apparently sales are now so low there may not be many more FYI... Anyone under 30 wouldn't have a clue what they are probably. I'm so old I got 3 and 5 for Xmas back in the day.
Question for Bewls (if he sees this)... on the Giro route presentation. I find it hard to believe RCS doesn't inform teams the route 'under embargo''? I can understand they won't do a public presentation for as long as the first days aren't locked in, but surely 90% of the route is. RCS knows you guys need to prepare and plan schedules. Maybe you want to reach out to them and request info? Just an idea. I am sure Visma and UAE have been on the phone with Italy already.
Wait week's between drinks and Jonsie hits us with VPN talk with about as much enthusiasm as GB has for doing these poddies...haha but seeya next time lads xxoo.
First class 'waffling' there guys! Your podcasts are always the best when you have no plan and just waffle over random topics! Loved it!

The random pods are the best. It’s like finding money in your coat pocket. Amazing when it happens.
