DDDPC #34 - People only seem to come to dinner with us once?
An interesting conversation we were having turns into an hour long indulgent whine on why we can't seem to find any peers in Northern Tasmania. We also have an on camera argument about constantly interrupting each other. I don't understand why we don't have more subscribers. I mean seriously, this is gold people!
