Summary
Friday July 21st 2017, Stede arrives in Sydney from London at 6.15am to be with Ed after his adopted Mama, Gia, has been hospitalised, having had a heart attack. Stede is seeing Ed and Gia in person for the first time in ten years. He and Ed have been best friends since meeting in University, and they fell out and stopped talking in mid 2007 but have began speaking on the phone again for a year and a half before this. They are now living in different cities, Stede with his family in London working in education, and Ed, famous TV comedy performer and producer, living alone in Los Angeles and sometimes for work in Australia. They both flew to Sydney as soon as they learned the news that Mama had collapsed on the Town Hall Station platform. They will be staying in Ed's rented apartment in Surry Hills and visiting Mama in hospital. This is the story of Stede's day.

For twenty years.
This is a record of those conversations from the end of 2004 to early 2025.
When it begins, Ed and Stede are in their mid twenties and have been performing comedy together in Melbourne Australia, since they met at university six years earlier but recently Stede has decided to leave their sketch comedy troupe called Henry The Horse, just as they are gaining awards and offers of TV work, to settle into a more domestic life and secure work as a teacher.
