Podcast

The speakers are discussing their dissatisfaction with their lives and the feeling of being stuck in a routine. They reflect on the opportunity to live and the need to make changes. One of them expresses a desire to quit their job and find something meaningful. The other is skeptical and believes they won't actually make a change. Alright, we're back for another episode of the Sunday Still. Good to be back man, it's been a bloody long week. Yes it has. You know I sort of feel like I was on autopilot this week just going through the motions. Yeah I wouldn't be the same to be honest. I feel like I'm stuck at work. I don't know what to do at the moment. Yes. Anyway, big weekend for the footy. What do you think of... Stop. Let's think about this for a moment. Let's actually have a conversation about this. This is real. Oh come on. I mean it's dragging on a little bit don't you reckon? I mean, our lives are dragging on dude. What are we doing bro? I don't know what to do. We're given an opportunity to live. We work five to seven days of the week and we live mediocre lives. We are destined to spend five out of seven days of the week doing something we don't want to do for somebody that we have like. Are you fucking serious? I mean have a look at Big Andrew's date over here. No dude I've been pondering this. You don't say pondering. I don't know if this deep conversation is really the sort of subject matter that our audience wants to listen to. We have twelve listeners and if our listeners are willing to listen to us ramble about footy for an hour I'm sure they'd be willing to listen to this. They need to hear this. Where did this guy come from? This is me boy. I don't want to waste my life is all I'm trying to say. I don't want you to waste your life. If you think about it heaps of people just waste their lives. We need to change this. We're guilty of it. I can't change it bro. You can. You should have seen me this week dudes. I was miserable. I just moped around school feeling sorry for myself. Yeah it was the worst man. Yeah I feel a little bit hypocritical too. I don't know how I'm going to change my situation. I don't know if I could. You want to know what I saw the other day? What? A dog. You had a dog? Well yeah it was my dog. I thought you were going to build up a big story about a huge dog fight on the side of the road. No no no. I've just looked at my dog. I've looked at him and I was like this bloke does not do anything. He just doesn't do anything. He fucking woofs, walks and just you know he's just a dog and eats. That's all his existence is just walking around and eating food. That's actually relevant if you think about it. We're the only animal on the planet that can actually make something happen. We can do stuff. This is our chance. We're not frogs who just ribbit and lick flies away. Yeah I mean I'd be a pretty cute frog to be honest. Okay enough. Let me finish my point. I've decided to reject this life. I'm leaving it for someone else. I'm quitting my job and I will find something meaningful in my life that I actually want to do. Oh yeah? Have a look at you mate. Just such a courageous guy. I'm serious. This has happened. Become a Bible now as well. Become a spiritual awakening. Maybe you can be one of those wanderers. Wanderers? You know the guys that knock on your door with the Bible. I'm pretty sure those are Jehovah's Witnesses. Yeah become one of them. You don't want to change, do I? So I take it you think I'm being ridiculous? Yes mate. You are not quitting your job. You're going to be sitting in this chair next week and we're going to be chatting about the same BS that we did the week before. You don't want to change as if you made a change. Thank you.
