And the Hello and welcome

the wheel talk podcast my name is Abby Mickey and I'm joined today on this beautiful Monday by Lauren Rowney.

Hello, hello?

And Matt Deneve.

Hello, good to be back.

Thanks for having me back.

Yeah, you had a vacation. You were on vacation taking some rest away from us. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Why you do that but you guys just tie me out so much I just needed a week away, you know. No, we just had a family holiday up on the

gold coast here in Australia and sat around on the beach in the warm weather and it was lovely.

Didn't do much at all. It was exactly what we needed and I come back feeling nice and refreshed and yeah ready to get stuck into it.

I just love that vacationing in winter in Australia means like going to the beach.

Yeah, well it's wild like it's down in Melbourne at the moment where I am.

It's starting to get nice now but it's been pretty miserable.

But going up to the gold coast is yeah 25

degrees and warm and sunny putting sunscreen on and yeah just just a world away

really so yeah my dad like so I'm from the gold coast for people who don't know this and for some

reason my dad loves to send me weather forecasts and it's like something you

just don't do when someone is living in a country like

Belgium. He's like, oh yeah, look at the weekly forecasts this week and I'm like, just

stop it. My dad does that too. Is that a dad thing?

Matt, is that a dad thing? You're a dad.

I think so. I think I probably have a fascination with the weather.
