Chicken Noodle F**k

Hannah and I are so late to the podcast party that the party is not only over but the house has been sold to an elderly couple who play bridge every other Sunday with some friends they met on a Thompson's cruise a few years ago.But as they say, better late than never. We may be the last human beings in the world to make a podcast but thats only because we were waiting until it felt right. I guess to use it felt a bit like losing our virginity, we didn't want to just lose it behind a cinieworld next to a crushed empty can of Rio, we wanted to wait until it felt right, under a moonlit sky while the dulcet tone of a train rumbling past masked out the awkward sounds.We don't have a clue what we're doing but our plan is to figure this out together.So jump on board and let's see where this goes.
