#311 - Jarchy on escaping your comfort zone, loving fatherhood & being a lyrical genius.

Fuck, it'd

be

over 10 years.

Yeah, wow.

Yeah.

So it'd be weird and fucked.

Yeah.

I

look fucked up.

Mate,

who knows what it looks like under there?

Only me.

And it's not good.

Has Steph ever seen you without a beard? Nah.

Nah, she hasn't.

So how long have you guys been together?

Eight years.

Where'd you meet? We met...

We met through mutual friends.

Yeah, okay.

So Eddie Simpson, who does the Hellas War podcast.

Yep.

We lived together in Bathurst when we went to uni together.

Oh, I remember you telling me that.

Yeah.

And then his miso was best mates with Steph.

So we sort of just met fucking through mutual friends.

Yeah.

But we both had partners at the time.

So it was like, you know, whatever.

Yeah.

But then we both became single and then it was – then like she – I heard through the grapevine through Eddie.

He's like, mate, Steph Allen likes the cut of your jib.

And I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with her? Like what's doing? And it turns out she has horrific eyesight.

So I was like, oh, that makes sense.

But then I'd like – she slid into my DMs.

Look at that.

And

then I just kept talking to her and I was like, let's go.

Would you like to go for a drink or something?

That's very modern of her, eh, to be the one to approach.

Well, I knew what I was doing.

We had had a litter of puppies on the farm, of Kelpie pups.

And being a single man, I mean, you post a video of pups on social media and you're going to get 97% women going, oh my God, so cute.

So

you're playing chess, not checkers.

That's right, brother.

Tactical.

A little bit of bait in the water.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, exactly right.

A bit of chum.

I like it.

Stir up the sharks.

I like it.

You're a sharper man than you pretend to be, mate.

I don't know about that, brother.

Mate, it's good to see you.

I feel like we've done one of these a year for three years now.

Crazy.

It's good to see you too, mate.
