Speaker 2: What it does.

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: I would say I've even learned so much since the

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: last time we spoke, because I think I'm learning new

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: boundaries as time goes on, and what I can and

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: can't do with my time, and just going okay, you

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: know what I can do this or I can't.

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: I think that that's definitely been.

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: The sportsman that has had to be able to travel

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: as much as we do and then get into the

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: rhythm of you know, I know my body.

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: When it comes to jet lag.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, I have to stay on the same

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: time for that first three days.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I have to get into a country and stay on

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: the at eight am.

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: We've chosen eight am was when I get up. This

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: is the time to go to bed. And just really

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: still trying to prioritize my voice with so many shows,

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: like just trying to work out when I can because

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 3: I'm a chatter box.

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: So you know, that's always been a what does that?

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: What does that involve? Looking after your voice? How do

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: you look after your voice?

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: I mean so much it is you know, you have

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: your steamer which you're constantly trying to keep hydrated in

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 3: your voice. You'll notice, you know a lot of artists

50
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: when you go into their room they've got these humidifiers

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: a lot of the time. Or it's setting an environment where,

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: you know, amongst sort of going out and having so

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: much energy, you also have like a peaceful environment.

54
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Even if it's in.

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: A motel in the middle of Scotland where we were

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: last like a couple of weeks ago, and it's freezing,

57
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: you silk, You set up your little little things that

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: make it feel like home and you can recover. Just

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 3: environments where you can recover. That is where what I

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: definitely kind of continue to work out. But you always

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: has to have quiet time. It has to be hydrated,

62
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: it has to be warmed up and stretched like a

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: normal muscle. You know, there is so many specs to

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: it being having to be looked after.

65
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: So you know, talked a bit about recovery, and I

66
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: think that's really interesting because so much we think about

67
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: that in terms of sports men and women, you know context.

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: But you're right, you have to be on, you're energetic,

69
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you're up, so what do you do when you're down?

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: You've alice. You've always has to warm up and it

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 2: has to cool down.

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: It is exactly the same as a muscle and I

73
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: think that there's there's this psychology that I think with

74
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: musicians because it is a heart space and a sort

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: of a communication between listener and between artists in the

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: words that are you know, maybe speaking to that person

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: in that moment in their life.

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I think that it's.

79
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: Sort of as a it's not as highlighted as a

80
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: you know, as the kind of craft of the lift

81
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: off before you get on stage, which is really important.

82
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: I was watching on Jovi's documentary and he was dealing

83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: with You're constantly dealing with just keeping inflammation down, like

84
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: exactly the same as muscles. So being on tour is

85
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: a lot of just making sure that you can that

86
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: your body and physicality can sort of be able to

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: wind down and also.

88
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: Be able to amp up and get ready for for

89
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: a show.

90
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: You almost need like something written on your palm. I

91
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: can't talk right now? How do you actually not talk?

92
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: The only way that I can do that is by

93
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: isolating myself. That's kind of I've I Otherwise, I know

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 3: I will want to chime in and you know, play,

95
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: you know. So the only my biggest recovery is like

96
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: having a day where I watch.

97
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: A TV show and I zone in like it's the

98
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: only way I can just stop.

99
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: And actually, you know, I think a lot of girls,

100
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: you know, I know, you know, so if it's like

101
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: get on the trash TV or something that can completely

102
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: zone me out and you know, do my work on

103
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: my laptop and be quiet.

104
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite trash TV show?

105
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: Well, of course it's you know, like I'm at the moment,

106
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm into love is blind. You know, it doesn't love that.

107
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: I love them all on to a bus.

108
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: When we wish and I recently I was forcing all

109
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: the all the band to watch a perfect match.

110
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: That was love it. Now I didn't appreciate it as

111
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: much as I had hoped. I'm watching the Castle after that?

112
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, make everyone watch the castle. Great idea. Yeah, now,

115
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,240

Speaker 1: life ebbs and flows, we have the ups and downs.

117

Speaker 1: Are you feeling balanced? So to speak?

118
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: Now? I think I think that that came into my

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: life from love in my life as well from my partner.

120

141
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: Do you know the crazy thing? I had done an

142
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: Optus commercial in nineteen ninety three, so that was I

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: had done one when I was about seven years old.

144
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: It's one of my first ever commercials, and I had

145
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: a gold dress that I still have in storage no way,

146
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: and it was made for that and then I and

147
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: then cut to thirty years later and I, I'm getting

148
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: to have this beautiful dress with the team for this

149
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,560

Speaker 3: Really lovely to have a fully interesting, full circle moment again.

152
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Now just quickly be before we

153
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: go for any listeners. You know, looking at you, you've

154
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: got a busy life, and you know you're managing the

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: demands of career and health and time for yourself. What

156
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: does just going back to the idea of balance, what

157
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: does it look like for you a balance life?

158
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: I mean every I mean I always say everything in moderation,

159
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: but it is.

160
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm probably I probably tip a little bit more.

161
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: I do tend to work a lot, I am. I've

162
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: always been like that. I've always been an energizer buddy,

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: and I got that from my mom. My mom and

164
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: dad both worked very hard. But at the same time,

165
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: the balance is that you know, I do get to

166
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: the gym, I do get to you know, go We

167
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: went for a high essay.

168
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: It was but it was boiling hot and I was

169
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: like this is too hot. The balance is off on

170
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: the temperature here. But I do you know, I enjoy

171
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: all the small things as.

172
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: Well as in like I enjoy just a beautiful cup

175
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: to you know, seat of the piano and reflect or.

176
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: My version of balance is having the moment in the

177
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: tour of us where I can watch a girly show

178
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: for me, you know, or having the balance of you know,

179
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: just I do feel like we have a balance because

180
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: I because I get to work with a Matt as well.

181
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: We find our balance of our friends kind of travel

182
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: with us as well. We have to bring family, you know,

183
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: and that's kind of it's a bit of a gypsy life.

184
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: But we make sure.

185
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: That while we're in oz we celebrate our friends and

186
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: see them and you know, all their milestones, and that's,

187
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, we find a way to have our version

188
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: of balance. Everybody has their own version of what fills

189
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: their cup up, and I think we do a good

190
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,960

00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,760
