0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome back to Nomad Podcast. I'm Tim Nash and this is for the last time as a nomad host, David Benjamin Blower.
0:44.6	Hello Tim. So mate, it's been, how long has it been? Has it been six years, pushing seven years?
0:50.3	I think it's been seven odd years. Wow. Of podcasting here. Yeah, yeah. That's a lot of years. Seven years ago, I was in my early 40s and people weren't referring to me as a middle-aged man. Now in 50, I've got a metal hip and a lot of grey hair. We're both considerably greyer, aren't we?
1:10.0	We really are, yeah.

1:43.4	I think you would look good with
1:44.3	handlebars. Quite possibly, but I just don't like hassle. Like low maintenance is one of my
1:50.9	kind of mottoes for life. Just everything is about low maintenance and that is reflected in my beard.
1:57.2	So it is. This is also, feels remarkable because when was the last time we podcasted?
2:02.7	Oh, mate. It's years, I think, isn't it?
2:05.7	Yeah, I can't remember. Because basically, whenever you record an interview, that was an opportunity for me to have a break.
