12
00:00:49,681 --> 00:00:50,321
Speaker 1: That is so.

13
00:00:50,441 --> 00:00:56,121
Speaker 2: Christ I love being of service. It's right, same, same, different,

14
00:00:56,361 --> 00:00:58,921
Speaker 2: so different. I am in My most happiest place is

15
00:00:58,961 --> 00:01:00,801
Speaker 2: when I'm being of service as somebody else.

16
00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, I really am.

17
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:05,721
Speaker 2: Be it the kids all my job or you know,

18
00:01:05,961 --> 00:01:09,681
Speaker 2: I find my my happiness when I'm not putting me first,

19
00:01:09,721 --> 00:01:11,121
Speaker 2: I'm putting somebody else first.

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,801
Speaker 1: When if all your kids left home, was that a

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,601
Speaker 1: huge adjustment?

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,401
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was. It took a little while because there

23
00:01:17,441 --> 00:01:19,241
Speaker 2: was lots going on in that period of time.

24
00:01:19,241 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: We've talked about that.

25
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:22,921
Speaker 2: My mum and my brother died, so and then COVID

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,801
Speaker 2: and I after COVID, and it was a big time

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: for everyone.

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,441
Speaker 1: So now that's sort of the dust is somewhat settled.

29
00:01:29,521 --> 00:01:32,201
Speaker 1: How is it being I think your kids are not

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,601
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say needy, but you all get along so

31
00:01:34,681 --> 00:01:37,121
Speaker 1: incredibly well. You talk to them constantly, so they're always

32
00:01:37,161 --> 00:01:39,881
Speaker 1: that can yeah shame Yeah, I think with mom and

33
00:01:39,961 --> 00:01:43,321
Speaker 1: dad like to go from four boys, yeah, three that

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,401
Speaker 1: we all left pretty much at the same time.

35
00:01:46,041 --> 00:01:49,121
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that would have been such like can you

36
00:01:49,201 --> 00:01:55,561
Speaker 2: imagine having three babies and you the toddler, sleeping, eating,

37
00:01:55,841 --> 00:01:58,761
Speaker 2: looking after their own needs, you know, making sure that

38
00:01:58,801 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: you guys were needs were all met.

39
00:02:00,841 --> 00:02:02,961
Speaker 1: But you go through that for what twenty years, and

40
00:02:02,961 --> 00:02:06,481
Speaker 1: then suddenly it's just mom and dad, Like that's got

41
00:02:06,481 --> 00:02:07,601
Speaker 1: to be huge adjustment.

42
00:02:07,881 --> 00:02:10,521
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, But you have to remember they are the

43
00:02:10,561 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: best times of your life when they're young, when you're

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,041
Speaker 2: doing things in the middle of it, you go, fucking now,

45
00:02:16,201 --> 00:02:16,601
Speaker 2: this is.

46
00:02:16,641 --> 00:02:17,961
Speaker 1: Absolutely hard going.

47
00:02:18,401 --> 00:02:20,841
Speaker 2: But when it's all over, the days are long, but

48
00:02:20,881 --> 00:02:22,721
Speaker 2: the years are short. So by the end of the

49
00:02:22,761 --> 00:02:26,081
Speaker 2: time that they'reof moved out, you're thinking, well, where do

50
00:02:26,161 --> 00:02:27,561
Speaker 2: I fit now? What do I have to do, so

51
00:02:27,601 --> 00:02:30,161
Speaker 2: you have to reinvent yourself or you just sit on

52
00:02:30,161 --> 00:02:31,921
Speaker 2: the couch and just stay there and do nothing and

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,281
Speaker 2: wait for them to ring right, which I refuse to do.

54
00:02:34,401 --> 00:02:37,561
Speaker 1: So is Christy fifty and cranky a reinvention.

55
00:02:37,161 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: Or most I've reinvented myself numerous times, coming on to

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,641
Speaker 2: TikTok in two thousand, multiple times, just.

57
00:02:44,561 --> 00:02:46,721
Speaker 1: In general, multiple Yeah, right?

58
00:02:47,441 --> 00:02:50,881
Speaker 2: Would you not say you've done the same yes? Completely completely?

59
00:02:51,441 --> 00:02:54,161
Speaker 2: Would you change anything though? Would you have done anything differently?

60
00:02:54,281 --> 00:02:56,281
Speaker 1: It's like what I said before, You've got to go

61
00:02:56,321 --> 00:02:58,201
Speaker 1: through all the doors and fail, and then it's I

62
00:02:58,321 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: love that you've learned the lessons. I love that having

63
00:03:01,041 --> 00:03:04,321
Speaker 1: the fuck off shot that ultimately was really successful, and

64
00:03:04,361 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: then I made all these wrong decisions and it ended

65
00:03:06,761 --> 00:03:09,641
Speaker 1: up shutting the business down. I don't regret that because

66
00:03:09,641 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, Yeah, what did you learn? I learned?

67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,321
Speaker 1: Now when I do another product launch, Yeah, what's the

68
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:18,281
Speaker 1: consumer like? What's the market like? So much? And then

69
00:03:18,321 --> 00:03:21,241
Speaker 1: also just getting on stage and doing small shows, Yeah,

70
00:03:21,281 --> 00:03:24,521
Speaker 1: you enjoy doing the bombing. My biggest fear was and

71
00:03:24,561 --> 00:03:27,321
Speaker 1: the reason what held me back was I didn't want

72
00:03:27,321 --> 00:03:30,361
Speaker 1: to do something funny and not get a laugh. Oh really,

73
00:03:30,401 --> 00:03:33,081
Speaker 1: the first time that happened to me was one of

74
00:03:33,121 --> 00:03:36,441
Speaker 1: the best fucking moments because I realized I was like,

75
00:03:36,481 --> 00:03:39,481
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm fine, Like I got this because all

76
00:03:39,521 --> 00:03:42,241
Speaker 1: I did was it was so small. I threw out

77
00:03:42,241 --> 00:03:44,801
Speaker 1: what was an obvious like I'm a storyteller. I don't

78
00:03:44,801 --> 00:03:47,561
Speaker 1: really do punchline jokes, and I was telling a story

79
00:03:47,601 --> 00:03:49,041
Speaker 1: and I got to the crux of it and it

80
00:03:49,081 --> 00:03:52,801
Speaker 1: didn't really land, and all I did was go cross

81
00:03:52,841 --> 00:03:55,841
Speaker 1: that out of the book and that released the tension

82
00:03:55,841 --> 00:03:59,681
Speaker 1: and everyone laughed. I learned you highlight when you bomb.

83
00:03:59,961 --> 00:04:02,721
Speaker 1: So the second time was it fell flat and no

84
00:04:02,721 --> 00:04:05,001
Speaker 1: one was laughing, and so I said into the microphone

85
00:04:05,481 --> 00:04:09,601
Speaker 1: hold for laughs, which made people laugh, and then I

86
00:04:09,641 --> 00:04:12,401
Speaker 1: just went to keep holding and it made people laugh more.

87
00:04:12,881 --> 00:04:14,641
Speaker 1: And then I was like, well that joke went really

88
00:04:14,681 --> 00:04:17,441
Speaker 1: really well, and was like it didn't. And so I

89
00:04:17,481 --> 00:04:21,681
Speaker 1: was like, oh, these moments of unknown I can actually

90
00:04:22,121 --> 00:04:24,481
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it, like I sort of thrive on it,

91
00:04:24,641 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: like I love when stuff in the middle of the

92
00:04:27,521 --> 00:04:31,241
Speaker 1: show went wrong, Like my touring agent was in charge

93
00:04:31,241 --> 00:04:33,961
Speaker 1: of I had a PowerPoint and he was in charge

94
00:04:34,001 --> 00:04:37,801
Speaker 1: of doing it. And sometimes he would go too far

95
00:04:37,921 --> 00:04:41,681
Speaker 1: forward or he'd played the wrong music, and usually people

96
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:44,601
Speaker 1: would freak out. But I loved it because that gave

97
00:04:44,641 --> 00:04:46,921
Speaker 1: me an opportunity to highlight that I had a mid

98
00:04:47,001 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: sixty year old touring guy that was we were operating

99
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: off a PowerPoint and a laptop with a small k

100
00:04:52,081 --> 00:04:55,401
Speaker 1: and people just you just suddenly have just imprompt you riffing.

101
00:04:55,481 --> 00:04:58,441
Speaker 1: And I really enjoyed it. And so I was like, God,

102
00:04:58,481 --> 00:05:02,241
Speaker 1: if I didn't, you know, wade into that water, I

103
00:05:02,281 --> 00:05:03,681
Speaker 1: would never have known. And I would have been like,

104
00:05:03,681 --> 00:05:06,601
Speaker 1: oh no, what if I bombed? Yeah, go over, thank her.

105
00:05:06,801 --> 00:05:10,481
Speaker 1: I saw it clip David Bowie said something that was

106
00:05:11,481 --> 00:05:15,681
Speaker 1: never perform for the gallery, which was like, never perform

107
00:05:15,841 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: for other people, Yeah, for yourself. And then he said,

108
00:05:20,201 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: weighed out into the water a little deeper where you

109
00:05:22,641 --> 00:05:24,481
Speaker 1: can't stand, just a little bit, just for your feet,

110
00:05:24,481 --> 00:05:26,921
Speaker 1: don't touch the I love that. That's a great analogy,

111
00:05:27,121 --> 00:05:30,801
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. Your best work will come when you weighed

112
00:05:30,841 --> 00:05:33,281
Speaker 1: out a little bit, and it's a little bit, it's

113
00:05:33,281 --> 00:05:36,481
Speaker 1: a bit scary. And I was like, yeah, that's I

114
00:05:36,521 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: love that, lover, that's such good. Yeah, because you never

115
00:05:39,801 --> 00:05:41,961
Speaker 1: again my manager had said to me at one point,

116
00:05:42,961 --> 00:05:45,081
Speaker 1: I was really comfortable. I didn't want to tour. I said, nah,

117
00:05:45,161 --> 00:05:47,921
Speaker 1: I love this. I'm really comfortable, really comfortable doing the

118
00:05:47,921 --> 00:05:51,441
Speaker 1: OB sponsored post. This is great. And he said, you

119
00:05:51,481 --> 00:05:53,841
Speaker 1: never want to be comfortable. You don't want to be

120
00:05:53,841 --> 00:05:56,961
Speaker 1: comfortable because at the moment you get comfortable, it's all over.

121
00:05:57,521 --> 00:06:00,721
Speaker 1: Everything slows down and stops. Yeah, and that's when I

122
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:02,401
Speaker 1: was like, fine, I'll go on tour.

123
00:06:02,761 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: And then had the best time of your life for

124
00:06:04,561 --> 00:06:06,241
Speaker 2: a car with the money that I made.

125
00:06:06,401 --> 00:06:09,801
Speaker 1: Fantastic, great, great in there through wads of cash down

126
00:06:10,001 --> 00:06:12,281
Speaker 1: as you do, which I initially tried to get a

127
00:06:12,281 --> 00:06:14,961
Speaker 1: free car. Anyway,
