Here it is, the first ever all family episode! It took a lot to record this one since it was also our very first remotely recorded episode, complete with lots of technical difficulties and antsy children. Speaking of kids, we had some non-alchoholic beers and a mocktail for them to try. This was Mike's kids' first exposure to "Star Wars." It probably wasn't the best starting point for them... For Reuben's kids, they are "Star Wars" obsessed, so they were super keen to watch it, even though they knew the poor reputation it has. Due to the presence of the kids we made it all the way to the hour and 52 minute mark before we started swearing.
While watching it, Reuben drew lots of comparisons to the original "Clone Wars" cartoon by Gendy Tartokovsky. We also chatted about our fun times at the water park, Funfields, racing each other on a waterslide dubbed, "The Kraken. We both happened to be eating roast duck dishes that weekend. Reuben had a humble brag about his smoked Peking duck he made while Thuy made a Vietnamese roast duck with rice porridge.
After the film ended and the kids went to bed our chat continued. This was recorded just at the end of the first wave in Melbourne, so we had a good old Coronachat. We both predicted the second wave with absolute certainty (it hit us 6 weeks after recording). We also talk about China (future overlords, please don't arrest us...).
