This podcast 15 00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:03,681 Speaker 3: is exactly that, and this, for some reason feels like 16 00:01:03,721 --> 00:01:06,521 Speaker 3: safe space. Then I get online and this was exactly 17 00:01:06,601 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: the conversation I was having with my trainer. And he 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,081 Speaker 3: was like, he said something along the lines so, yeah, 19 00:01:13,121 --> 00:01:15,321 Speaker 3: I just put up anything I think about. I looked 20 00:01:15,321 --> 00:01:17,401 Speaker 3: at him, I was like, you're weird, why would you 21 00:01:17,441 --> 00:01:20,441 Speaker 3: do that? And he just goes, Oh, my last video 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,041 Speaker 3: about a chicken got two million views. 23 00:01:23,681 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: I said about a chicken. 24 00:01:25,081 --> 00:01:26,881 Speaker 3: Yeah, And he was like all he did was literally 25 00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:29,481 Speaker 3: walk into woolies or coals and go, I'm picking up 26 00:01:29,521 --> 00:01:32,521 Speaker 3: my emotional support animal. And he walked up to the 27 00:01:32,521 --> 00:01:34,401 Speaker 3: hot rotisserie area and picked up a chruk. 28 00:01:35,121 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: I've got a friend, Rach, who this post got something 29 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: like millions of you know when it goes viral. It 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,561 Speaker 1: was which cushions he wanted to buy, like he really 31 00:01:47,641 --> 00:01:51,041 Speaker 1: liked don't cushions, And he put it on his feed. 32 00:01:51,081 --> 00:01:53,361 Speaker 1: And remember how feeds used to be all about highlights 33 00:01:53,401 --> 00:01:56,601 Speaker 1: real just put a pretty picture of yeah, yeah, the races. Yeah, 34 00:01:56,641 --> 00:01:59,601 Speaker 1: And now it's like normal content, which I like. 35 00:01:59,841 --> 00:02:01,841 Speaker 2: I like, Yeah, so do I I very much do. 36 00:02:01,921 --> 00:02:05,121 Speaker 3: But I still find myself like, yeah, don't worry to 37 00:02:05,241 --> 00:02:08,361 Speaker 3: like if I put up really what you're thinking. 38 00:02:08,121 --> 00:02:11,161 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think i'd have one follower. I think 39 00:02:11,201 --> 00:02:12,441 Speaker 2: I'd have a lot of hatemail. 40 00:02:21,921 --> 00:02:26,161 Speaker 1: Am I bad mom for missing her first day? Well? 41 00:02:26,441 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: This is a weird thing to say for teenagers because 42 00:02:29,401 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: you don't really need to do that anymore. They're kind 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,881 Speaker 1: of you know, they're older, they can do stuff by themselves. 44 00:02:35,441 --> 00:02:39,041 Speaker 1: But I've got one very anxious child when it comes 45 00:02:39,081 --> 00:02:43,921 Speaker 1: to work. Now, she's worked at maccas for a year now. Honestly, Rach, 46 00:02:44,361 --> 00:02:49,281 Speaker 1: every single shift. Every single week she gets all worked up, 47 00:02:49,481 --> 00:02:52,121 Speaker 1: sets an alarm for way earlier than she needs to 48 00:02:52,121 --> 00:02:54,881 Speaker 1: be because she needs to mentally prepare herself. Like it's 49 00:02:54,921 --> 00:02:58,041 Speaker 1: a whole big thing. We sit in the car park. 50 00:02:58,161 --> 00:02:59,761 Speaker 1: Is it going to be okay? Is it going to 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,041 Speaker 1: be a good shift? Am I going to get in trouble? 52 00:03:02,121 --> 00:03:05,801 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. It's a whole thing. And this kid 53 00:03:05,921 --> 00:03:12,201 Speaker 1: does not like work. And we chatted on another episode 54 00:03:12,321 --> 00:03:17,761 Speaker 1: about going for her interview at wooll and we were 55 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,241 Speaker 1: practicing in the car and she said all this stuff 56 00:03:20,321 --> 00:03:22,641 Speaker 1: like like, why do you be good at working for 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: wool West? You know I'm hard working, blah blah blah. 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,841 Speaker 1: And we had a laugh about the fact that I 59 00:03:26,881 --> 00:03:28,481 Speaker 1: was like, none of those, but yeah. 60 00:03:28,481 --> 00:03:32,601 Speaker 2: Like sell it, sell it. Yeah, And she got the job. 61 00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:34,681 Speaker 1: I wouldn't employ you at home, n. 62 00:03:36,601 --> 00:03:37,281 Speaker 2: She got the job. 63 00:03:37,881 --> 00:03:40,641 Speaker 1: Yeah, And we had the same thing, and it was 64 00:03:40,641 --> 00:03:44,361 Speaker 1: probably it was even more because it was first day 65 00:03:44,361 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: coming up without her sister, which. 66 00:03:48,641 --> 00:03:49,841 Speaker 2: A very big thing though for them. 67 00:03:49,961 --> 00:03:54,121 Speaker 1: Yeah, you do everything everything together. And anyone with twins, 68 00:03:54,281 --> 00:03:57,321 Speaker 1: particularly identical twins who are into the same thing, like 69 00:03:57,361 --> 00:04:00,761 Speaker 1: I know twins who have always wanted to do different things, 70 00:04:00,881 --> 00:04:04,241 Speaker 1: different circles of friends. One did dance, won did football, 71 00:04:04,281 --> 00:04:07,241 Speaker 1: whatever it might be, might have always done the same, 72 00:04:07,401 --> 00:04:11,521 Speaker 1: exactly the same. It's a weird one. It's an interesting 73 00:04:11,601 --> 00:04:15,561 Speaker 1: one because, like I have no experience that none of 74 00:04:15,641 --> 00:04:18,881 Speaker 1: us have experienced what that feeling is. You're never starting 75 00:04:18,921 --> 00:04:21,601 Speaker 1: something on your own. No, So anyway, she was super 76 00:04:21,641 --> 00:04:24,521 Speaker 1: anxious about it, and then I'm like, oh no, it'd 77 00:04:24,521 --> 00:04:26,721 Speaker 1: be fine, like I'll take you and you know, we'll 78 00:04:26,921 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: chat in the car and we'll get there early and 79 00:04:29,241 --> 00:04:31,921 Speaker 1: all the rest of it.
