I 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.720 was like, what the fuck is going on? 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.320 It's a Mysteryna and I you might have blocked me 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280 because NNA and I hit it off on that day 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.920 at Master Chef. We had such a good time together 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.560 and you were just so down to earth and so 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.360 fabulous and so funny and out of everyone there, like 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.360 we probably like connected the best. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.200 Like I was like, yeah, she's a cool chick. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.720 So, Matt, you probably got jealous and saw me on 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.000 the stories and blocked me. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.240 Going to take the spot. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.200 I'm the only man in Anna's life. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.800 Wow, that's fine. That's an confusing one, huh. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.560 I have to ask you, because your outfits are just 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.000 so fabulous, who is your style icon for me? 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.919 It because it's probably like I take a lot of 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:38.480 inspiration and always have throughout my life from. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:38.960 Specifically Lady Gaga. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.440 I feel like she very much changed the game in 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.680 terms of fashion in the music industry. We all know 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.680 like before her, everyone was wearing jeans on a red 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.160 carpet and then Lady Gaga comes out in an egg 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.800 and everyone's like, we need to top this. And so 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.880 Lady Gaga when I was younger, was definitely my style icon. 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.160 I feel like these days, I don't really have to 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.599 much of a style icon. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.720 I feel like I've found my own style in a way, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.400 and I know exactly like what looks flattering on my 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.839 body and exactly what works. And that's kind of what 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.039 I run with. And I get my outfits for my 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.160 shows and things and big, big things like that master 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.920 Chef's shoot, that dress that I wore with all the 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.200 sunglasses on it. I get all of those custom made 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.159 because one as a fat and fabulous person. As someone 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.080 who is fat, like, it's harder for me to shop obviously, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.479 because not one size doesn't fit all, and so getting 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.640 something custom made, just like you know, getting it measured 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.000 to my proportions and things like that and making it 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.960 fit like a glove is something that I started doing 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.919 last year and it's absolutely changed everything. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.200 And I feel like I've found my own style in 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:48.320 that totally. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.520 I reckon that you're a lot of people's style icons. 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:59.279 I was about to say that, yeah, yeah, probably yeah. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.599 Speaking of your show, you are on tour at the moment. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.040 You do stand up comedy. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.799 Yeah, well, I don't know whether I do stand up comedy, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.120 but I do a comedy show. Look, here's the thing. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.200 I yeah, I'm on tour right now. I'm in Adelaide, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.560 Adelaide Fringe. Oh my goodness, Sol, I'm so tired it's 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.839 only a half an hour time difference from Sydney. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.440 I feel jet lagged. Jet lagged. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.480 Yeah, you did get the timing wrong for this. You 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.040 might mention that you were coming. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.760 I mean, it's hard later. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.640 I know, it's only just hit. 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.560 We were meant to start recording at eleven o'clock it's 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.000 only just hit eleven o'clock now. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:36.520 I only woke up a tenth. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:37.880 So you're not late. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:39.680 No, exactly right. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.960 I actually was early as far as early, but I 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.680 don't call them stand up comedy shows because they're not. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.160 They're very much tailored to my following. Obviously, a lot 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.920 of people who are coming to the shows I've been 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.719 I've been doing social media and stuff for about eight 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.520 years now, and a lot of the people who are 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.280 coming to my shows and people who are follow me 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.320 for a very long time, they kind of know my 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.600 story and they know the ins and outs, and so 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.599 it's very much tailored to them. And there's personal jokes 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.440 about my journey, like talking about fashion and fashion icons 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.080 as a whole section in the show about how when 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.360 I was first starting out, I was kind of like 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.800 too poor to buy any outfits for a red carpet 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.360 and I wasn't famous enough that people wanted to dress me, 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.160 and so I had to make my own outfits, like 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.720 go down to Kma and Spotlight and Bummings and buy 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.320 all these things and then put them all on an 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.520 outfit and walk the red carpet. Look at a million bucks, 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.320 but like for twenty two dollars fifty, you know. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.680 And so I tell a. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.040 Lot of stories like that and stories from throughout my life, 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.160 and it's very much tailored to my audience. Look, it's 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.800 a funny show. Everybody laughs. But is it stand up comedy? 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.360 I don't know, but I'm having a bloody good time 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:54.400 doing it whatever it is. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.960 Do you have any any advice to anyone that's wanting 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.600 to get into the stand up it's not stand by 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.720 the stay entertainment. Yeah, the stand up world. Who wants 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.880 to get up on stage and tell jokes to people 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.240 make them laugh, Well. 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.440 I have some advice. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.400 But also the way that I kind of fell into 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.000 it was kind of weird and kind of random, because 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.280 you know, for most people, if you want to start 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.360 in comedy, you find your local comedy club, and there's 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.840 plenty of them in major cities. I don't know about 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.400 like smaller regional places, but in major cities there's all 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.960 these hidden like comedy bars and just on a Tuesday, 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:31.280 they just have like open mic nights. And look, when 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.480 I started, I did a lot of research and like 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.440 just just sat there and pretty much watched people over 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.960 and over and over it and kind of picked up 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.280 on different things, because I mean, stand up comedy kind 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.000 of is like an art form in that you have 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.320 to talk a certain way or put a certain things in, 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.640 and you have to know when to pause to let 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.360 the audience know it's okay to laugh, and it's all 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:55.280 very structured. It's it's kind of funny how it all works. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.760 And so I watched a lot of Joan Rivers. Yeah, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:03.280 I love Joan Rivers, and she definitely isn't my style 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:03.880 of comedy. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.960 She was much worse. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.440 She got away with a lot of things that I 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.080 could never say, but she was really hilarious. And I 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.360 kind of watched how because I feel like for her, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.960 she's one of the greatest comics of all time. And 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.840 the way that an audience just watched Joan Rivers and 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.480 was so enthralled by her and no matter what she said, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.800 they were laughing at. That's really kind of like what 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.440 I what I want from That's what everybody wants from 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.920 an audience if you want to do comedy. So yeah, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.200 if you're starting out, go to those small little comedy 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.240 bars and things like that. They do open mark nights 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.200 where anyone can get on stage and have a go 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.880 and see how it goes. For me, I have to 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.320 say though, I never did that. I just kind of 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.440 blew up on social media and then I was approached 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.199 by my tour manager and he was like, hey, you 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.080 should do live shows, ding ding ding money, money money, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:52.400 And I was like, yeah, right, I. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.080 Let's do it before your first one. Then obviously if 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:56.800 you hadn't. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.840 My god and I still get nerve. 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.640 Yeah, they reckon. Once you stop getting nervous, it means 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.559 you don't care, so it's probably a good time. Yeah nervous, Okay. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.360 Well I the very first time, here we go. We'll 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.240 take you through it. The first night that I did, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.480 I did a comedy show. It was at Sydney Comedy 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.600 Festival and this was last year and I thought, you. 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:21.880 Know, this is my first time doing a show, so 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:22.880 I didn't really know how it works. 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.120 So I did a full glam moment like bold blue 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.640 and black smoky eye. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.320 I had like three or four vodka Red. 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.440 Bulls beforehand to pop myself up, and then when I 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.400 got on stage, I was so sweaty from the alcohol 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.040 and the hot lights that my makeup started melting down 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.959 my face and I was just crying. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.240 Black and blue mascara all down my neck. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.080 I remember getting on stage looking in the mirror and 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.160 it's like gone down my neck into my dress. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.520 And I learnt very quickly no alcohol before my show. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.760 So I now do not have a drop of alcohol 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.360 before my shows because that obviously makes you a little 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:01.920 bit warmer. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:03.120 And also my. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.040 Makeup that I now do is very very basic because 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.600 I don't want to have any mishaps with the sweat 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.240 and things like that. And I've learned along the way. 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.920 I now have a towel on stage so that I 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.520 can dab my forehead if I am getting sweaty. I 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.720 have like a water I have, you know, show notes 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.880 and things like that. So because I am still learning, 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:26.080 like I think in Adelaide, this is only my like five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.240 Like last night was only my tenth show ever. Tomorrow, yeah, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.440 tonight it will be my eleventh. So it's only my 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.200 eleventh time on stage doing this. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.680 You're so confident. I mean, we were watching the pinned 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:44.240 video on your socials, the famous video of you pretending 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.520 to be in jail with the soap bar I'm bending down. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.280 It's just so funny, Like I reckon, I've watched it 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.000 like twenty times. It's so hilarious. I was like, look 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:53.120 at this, it's hilarious. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.320 I obviously haven't seen it for obvious reasons. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:58.800 Yeah, I don't know. 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.160 I'm like so out of like that joke and how 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.840 well that did on social media. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.000 It was so good. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.280 It was good. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.959 Yeah, I'm really glad. How do you think of your material? Then? 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.800 How how does it come to you? Do you like brainstorm? 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.160 Do you take a sexual joke? 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.160 Well, I mean for me, it was a really long process. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:23.000 I really struggled last year with writing the show. The 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.680 fun fact is actually before the pandemic, we did plan 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.880 to do one show and then the pandemic hit, so 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.320 we had to cancel that, give everybody back their money. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.360 And then two years later we put on six shows 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.960 in Sydney that sold out. So that's just the showing 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.360 the growth that I had during the pandemic. Demic on 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.000 social media. And for me, I had been writing the 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.679 show since twenty nineteen in a way, and so I 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.280 kind of knew what I wanted to do, and then 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.800 when I sat down and wrote it, it's very much 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:59.880 I already knew what I wanted to do with my 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.720 I wanted to make them very cohesive, have a start, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.559 a middle, and an end, also have a bit of 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.520 a message to the show as well. And so I guess, 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.800 I guess I can talk about that because the show's over. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.360 This is the last time I'm ever going to do 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:18.640 these shows in Adelaide. Because basically the theme of the 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.640 show is fake it till you make it, and I 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.360 tell these stories from throughout my life of times I 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.280 faked it, like going back to the Arias and making 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.080 my own outfit that looks a. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.240 Million bucks, but it cost me twenty bucks. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.440 You know, And so all these stories throughout my life 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.240 of times I had to use this fake it till 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.120 you make it method. And then at the end, I 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.360 kind of say, you know, during the pandemic, I had 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.679 this moment to myself, which is all true, that I 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.720 really had this this kind of epiphany, this out of 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.280 body experience, whatever you want to call it where I 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:50.960 kind of looked at this fake it till you make 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.720 it method that I've been using my whole life, and 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.679 I was like, where's it gotten me. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:54.920 It's gotten me nowhere, you know. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.360 And so from that day forward, I decided to live 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.440 authentically and be authentically myself. And then it's funny, how 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.679 like my life's done a one eighties since then, and 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.280 suddenly all these new opportunities and fabulous things are happening, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.160 and you know, you have like this little message in 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.520 the show, which is like, once you stop faking it, 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.199 that's when you start to make it. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.280 Wow, because I really believe that. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.560 That's like what happened in my life is like once 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.200 I started being authentic, that's when people connected with me. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.840 And that's when I started to really kill it on 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.040 social media. And so yeah, there's like a whole kind 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.520 of storyline to the show, and it's not all serious. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.160 It's very funny. There's a lots of things that go 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:34.160 wrong and whatnot. 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.960 But writing the show is definitely one of the hardest 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.000 things I've ever done, especially just trying to cut it down. 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.160 I had so much content, but you're only allowed to 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.200 be on stage for like an hour tops, and so 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.160 your show needs to be about forty five minutes to 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.440 allow for all things going wrong or chatter with the 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.400 audience or whatever, and so condensing it down was so hard. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.080 But I will say that this time. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:01.440 Around the new tour, fat and fabulous it is. I 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.280 definitely am like, there's no issue with keeping that short 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.520 and sweet. Like I now know how it works. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.040 It's all good. I can keep it short and sweet. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.320 You said a lot of the audience are your following base, 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.800 So do you get any hecklers or are they just like. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.200 Well, I say at the start of the show, like, 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.880 if you don't like the show, I don't want to 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.000 hear about it, you know, And I say, you know, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.480 if you don't like the show, we are welcome to 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.160 get up and leave. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.600 I literally couldn't give a shit. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.359 I've already spent your money, you're not getting a refund. 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.800 You're not getting a refund, So doesn't. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.960 Bother me, you know, I get up and leaveter ill 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.640 still get paid at the end of the day. So 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.640 it's about, you know, just controlling your audience in a 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.400 way to kind of set that boundary and say I 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.520 don't want to hear your opinion. I couldn't give a shit. 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.680 You're here to watch me, you know, And it becomes 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.400 a funny joke in the show as well. I have 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.720 had a few people yell out and I just say 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.760 things like, excuse me, darling, it's my show, not yours. 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.560 You know on that anyone walk out, well. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.920 I haven't noticed them. If they have, but I mean 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:04.960 maybe I. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:09.480 Was going to say they're walking out, doesn't. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.960 Make Yeah, I don't know, like I've never had anyone 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.240 walk out that I've noticed, but I mean potentially some 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.000 people have. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.720 We had someone walk out of our live show. We 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.560 did a live show. It was this this guy who 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.680 was told that our show was a strip show. So 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.120 he we got on stage. She was expecting Matt and 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.600 I to be naked. Ten minutes in, he realized it 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.000 wasn't happening anytime soon because we were having a little 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.680 chat and he rolled on out. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.520 This scene the oldest man front row as well. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.680 Well, it takes wears your head out to a whole 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:42.120 new level. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.800 Well that's what we're saying that he was expecting a 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:52.320 different type of head. Has there been a moment speaking 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.480 of faking it till you make it? Has there been 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.440 a moment where you've thought, fuck, I've really made it here. 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.240 Well, I talk about that in the show as well, 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.080 because it's kind of funny. I say, like, that's when 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.760 you start to make it, and you know, everyone usually 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.800 collaps and goes WHOA when I go, well, hang on, Dale, 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.679 I'm not there yet, Like I'm playing to one hundred 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.639 and fifty people in a dingy venue in the middle 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.440 of so and so, you know, wait till i've someone 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:21.680 out of stadium. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:22.120 Or something like that. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.040 And so even when you know you pretend that you've 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.639 made it, you still got to take the piss out 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.080 of you a little bit, because no one wants to 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.280 go to a comedy show and hear an inspirational story. Really. 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.760 But yeah, I don't. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.320 Know, Like I mean, there's been times throughout my life 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.879 that I definitely have like pinched me moments, But I 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.359 don't know whether I've had a moment where I've gone old, MG, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.520 I've made it. I feel like that that moment is 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.640 probably coming in the next couple of years. There's been 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:53.560 some exciting conversations happening over the last few months and whatnot. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.359 So you know, I have my career goals I have 0:17:56.440 --> 0:18:00.040 my career things that I'm manifesting, and hopefully when I 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.560 take a few of those off, I'll be able to 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.840 say I could make it. But then again, does anyone 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.880 ever really make it? Because I feel like we can 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:09.919 have everything we want and say we've made it, and 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:10.960 we still want more. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.080 So maybe it's a case of. 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.760 That talk about that that you need to stop sometimes 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.119 and maybe like smell the roses because we're always thinking about, like, 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:18.920 what's the next. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:21.760 Thing that celebrate the small weird And I guess like 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.760 the goal is always happiness over anything. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.320 Yeah, is what we do. Yeah, but then money is 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.320 good and killing to the top is fun as well. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.119 But also I feel like I've accepted my fate that 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.640 I'll never be at the top. 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.160 You know what I mean. Like, I think you've got 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.959 to be realistic about it as well. 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:41.080
