37
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: When I was in Australia, he was lovely. He had

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: found out what I was in town and he invited

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: me to a rabbinose game. It was just it was

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: so fun, it was experience. It was the best.

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: But I love how.

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: You have made the decision and to walk away from

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: the industry. You've had an amazing career. Yeah, which is

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: but you want to spend time with the kids and

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: raise them.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: They are four and seeks luck you said now.

47
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: Aspirations to get back into what are you thinking about

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: doing it again soon?

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: You know, I am now that they're getting a bit older,

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 3: but I really feel like, you know, and I never

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: want to send the wrong message out to like young

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: women out there. It's not like, oh, I, it's not

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: an either or situation. I was lucky enough to, like,

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: you know, work my bum off for twenty years and

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: then I I, you know, I never wanted babies before

56
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: until I fell in love with Ryan, and then it

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: just kind of worked out to where I was forty

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: and having my first baby, and then I think I

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: was forty two and my second one, and so it

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 3: worked out in that way that I had a career

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: and then I changed my focus to my family. So

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: you know, now I'm thinking of definitely going back. I

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: feel like it's time. But I'm telling you guys, the

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: list is getting shorter and shorter like that. I'll do that,

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: all right, What do you want to do in I

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: don't want to do something risk it. I think the

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: only thing that's left is like Disney.

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: All right, we're doing Frozen again with Eva Mendez.

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: And then you're just like, you know, you don't want

70
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: to perpetuate certain stereotyzer or whatever. I know, Verry, like,

71
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: what do I do? I just did Ryan Gosling, who

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: direct another film and then hire.

73
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: Me that was one of your last movies. Actually just

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: something as well, sister around the corner. We're talking less

75
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: than a month away, but you were talking about your

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: fortieth before but Ryan Gosling November twelve. So I would

77
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: dare say there would have to be a bucket list

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: itutum that needs to be ticked off.

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: There have you thought of what you're going to get

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: your husband yet?

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: You know I it's I haven't really given it too

82
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: much thought. I think it's just been well, it's true

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: because it's been one of those it's been such a

84
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: year that I think we're just like, you know, what

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: are we going to have? We're not going to have

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: a party. It's just not the time. It's not the

87
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: time for it. So honestly, it's just going to be

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: as have you got a dog? We do. We have

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: a dog named So. We have a Doberman and he's wonderful. Look,

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: I can sit here and talk about my man, who

91
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm just so crazy in love with, and my kids

92
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: all day long, but I really want to get in

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: the fact that right now for mcappy Day, you guys,

94
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: anyone a pair of silly sucks or helping hands at

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: their local macas.

96
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Like that, vera.

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: You know what, either this is a very it's very important.

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: You are an ambassador, ambassador. But mcappy Die is such

99
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: an institution here in Australia and raises so much money

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 4: for these kids that need it.

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: We've done a lot of.

102
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: Stuff at Ronald McDonald houses before and just to see

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: these kids.

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: That are going through such a.

105
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: Tough time in their lives, just to see their eyes

106
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: and how much fun that they're having. It is so

107
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 4: important to get involved in support on the.

108
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Die exactly, and especially like we're talking about being together

109
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: as a family earlier, and you know, it's it's it

110
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: becomes these families home away from home. You know. I

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: have personal experience because my cousin's little boy at one

112
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: year old, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and I had asked

113
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: her what can I do?

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: Work? Can I do?

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: Can I get you a place closer to the hospital, Like,

116
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: how can I help in any way? What can Ryan

117
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: and I do? And she said, no, I'm at a

118
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: Ronald McDonald house and it's my support system. They take

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: care of everything for me. I'm so comfortable here I

120
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: wouldn't want to move. And I thought, wow, that's the

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: volumes about the security and this initiative.

122
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: Well Eia.

123
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: We're also joined this morning by Joe Feeney, who's the

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 4: marketing director at McDonald's.

125
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: Can you tell us how you decided on Eva Mendez

126
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: to represent mccappy days.

127
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 5: We knew that she was really passionate about RMHC. Then

128
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 5: we try and get someone obviously ideally if they've got kids,

129
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 5: that makes it easier, and then you know, if they've

130
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 5: got a connection to the charity, it makes it even

131
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 5: better for us. So she was just you know, having

132
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: had that sort of personal experience, we were kind of

133
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: thrilled to get her. And obviously we've had some great ambassadors,

134
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 5: so we've been really lucky, and I think it's just

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: testament to how awesome the charity is.

136
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: Really. Absolutely well said, I'd never tell somebody to donate

137
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: some to the charity and organization that I didn't one

138
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: hundred percent believe in. On actual mccappy Day, you can

139
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: get a big mac and every two dollars from that

140
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 3: big Mac will go to the charity. You know, it's

141
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. We're in the middle of a pandemic. It's

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: limit mccappy. They won't be you know, like it usually is.

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: Any Way, people can help. Please trust me on this.

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: This is this is where to put your money.

145
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: Very important.

146
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: They've raised over fifty million dollars already and like we said,

147
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: it goes to a magnificent cause. McDonald's has been a
