I hope 0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.080 you're good. I hope you have a good day today. 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.440 If it's early, if it's late, I hope you had 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.480 a good day. Someone who hasn't had a good day 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.159 or two of late. But she's coming good, which is 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.520 good because we don't like her sick, because she's no 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.000 use to me. I don't care about a health, just 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:34.000 a productivity. Let's be honest. Ha ha ah. The productive 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.320 one is still a seven out of ten, but yesterday 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.479 she was a two, so absolutely no value at all. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:44.400 Tiff Cookai, Hi, Look, the beauty is sometimes I tend 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.000 to go down hard and fast, but I bounce back 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:47.960 hard and fast too. 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.479 I reckon, Well, I think you're quite resilient because you 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.160 were you know, you're a little pugilist at heart, among 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.520 other things. So you're a fighter. You're a fighter. You 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.800 don't wave the white flag. But what was interesting was 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.559 it yesterday that we did Mick Hall, that we recorded yep, 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.200 and at the start of the podcast you were okay, 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.360 and then but we were on because there was a 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.040 bit of pre and post chatting, and by the time 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.679 we got to the end of the chat the recording, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.279 you could hardly string four words together and it looked 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.160 like you had fucking influenza twenty seven. And he was 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.200 just and You're like, as soon as we stopped recording, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.200 You're like, I feel shit out, so I've got to go. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.440 And then you're gone, go on. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.360 I had another one lined up that I was going 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.760 to be and I was like, I'm not going to 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:40.680 be able to make that one. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.399 I went, I went down hard. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.760 Oh that would have killed you, that one, because that 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:49.000 was an hour and a half with Chezy Dana and 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.560 might I say, all right before we jump into that, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.400 so what what do you have or what did you 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.440 have or what were your symptoms? 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:02.880 Well? Just well just a cold really, but a very headache. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:09.080 I did a COVID test. Wasn't COVID, Maybe an influenza. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.560 I just thought it was cold. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.440 But I was a bit headache the whole time. And 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.360 then yesterday, so here's this. Yesterday morning, I'd gone to 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.600 the gym just to do a light session. I did 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.320 some squats, they weren't heavy. I did some hip thrust 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.440 and after two sets of hips thrusts, I had to 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.000 go home because I felt like someone was sitting on 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.840 my chest, like my lungs felt quite sinister, and I 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:37.040 was like, oh, this is something's not good here, and yeah, 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.600 so that's. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:39.560 The state of it. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.440 Yeah, Well, a sick body is a stressed body, and 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.000 strength training is another kind of stress. So we're putting 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.680 stress on a system that is already stressed. And being 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.079 the alpha female slash male slash unicorn that you are, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.880 it seems like a good idea until you get in 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.000 the gym and your body's picking up the middle finger 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.040 at you go and fuck you go home and rest. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.880 We're not doing this. Yeah yeah, But also when you're 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.919 like you and me, which is probably a little bit rational, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.080 a little bit obsessed, well how obsessed? A little okay? 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.320 Um am not? You are? Fuck off? What are you 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.960 looking at? You know? So there have been many times 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.600 in my life when I've just yeah, I'm the same, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.280 but I'm better now that I'm older, I'm a little 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:31.000 bit wiser and allegedly and being able to have a 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.480 day off when I actually need a day off. That's 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.000 quite groundbreaking for me. As you know there are not 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.040 too many days in a year where I don't go 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.560 and lift stuff. But I was going to say to you, 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.400 like you've been telling me and your audience and my 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.839 audience a while, that you just I think you said 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.880 it on yesterday's show, which will be out soon, or 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.680 yesterday's recording with Mikhor by the way, everyone, if you 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.480 haven't heard that, go back to it. I mean, hey, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.680 do what you want, ignore me. But I think it 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.040 was a really good chat. I liked it. It was 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.360 about being a late starter, some really good stuff in that, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.080 and a lot of people lately there seems to be 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.880 a disproportionate number of people who are fatigued, Like every 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.920 second person. I'm like, is just more physical than anything, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.960 but I guess emotional and psychological and stress and what's 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.520 going on in the world. And petrol is nineteen thousand 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.479 dollars a leater and everyone's like, fuck, I've got no 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.839 dough and everything goes to fortune and will we still 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.240 be here in three years? And AI is fucking melting 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.680 my brain and social media is killing my kids, and 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.680 there's a bit of overwhelmed I think going on a 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.400 little which is not hard to understand. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.240 Yeah, yeah, I have been. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.479 I'm waiting for blood test results for iron levels, but 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.480 I have just been, as you know, with my hormones 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.080 and everything, fatigued for a year and just just gets 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.520 to the point where you go, well, I've rested and 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.480 I've changed this, and I've changed that, and I've done this, 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.080 and I've done that, and I've had some wins. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.159 But yeah, and then you you know, I think you're 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.000 right though, there's a lot in the world where you 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:15.640 have to go. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.000 Oh, how much of this is just coming from lifestyle 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.680 and input, the input of the world and the cognitive 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.280 mode of just existing today. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.160 And also you as an individual versus old mate, versus 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.039 Nancy versus John Nancy Nancy's eighty.

Has there been in the last five 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.520 year years in Australia a baby called Craig? Absolutely not? 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.880 Like imagine holding up a six or seven pound gorgeous 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.400 little human just fucking just slid out of the nest, 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.520 just fucking ready for life.

God, the only things that rhymes with 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.480 are plague and vague. So got a fucking awesome start 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:29.599 to existence. I mean, yeah, just rolls off the tongue. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:35.760 It's like honey, It's like verbal honey, fucking Craig ron 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:40.000 Mary of all the fucking names. You only had one kid, 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.800 by the way, I mean, you only had one name 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:47.159 to choose. You had one kid, one kid. All you 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.560 needed to do was come up with one fucking decent name, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.640 and you went with the one name in the world 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.400 that rhymes with Fagan plague. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.320 So I remember reading Drunk Tank Pink, and there's a 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.640 section in the of that book where they talk about 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.000 names in the impact of names on people's lives. 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.520 Yes, yes, definitely, Yeah, definitely. I mean I don't want 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.480 to name a name like what I think is an 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.559 ugly name. There's a few names I think are ugly, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.320 but I won't say them because I'm definitely going to 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.720 offend people. But there's some and then there are cool names. 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:26.360 Again that's totally subjective, but you know it's funny. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.080 I never felt like. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.840 I matched the name Tiffany.

This is 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.920 a good news for you. You can't get to a 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.400 thousand episodes unless you're doing something right, and so you're 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:16.000 doing lots right. And when you posted that the other day, 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:17.960 I kind of knew you were heading there, but I 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.559 went fucking hell because you only started the podcast last Thursday. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.320 I'm like, how was you know? 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.400 That's what it was sessions. If there were weekly episodes. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.360 It takes nineteen years to reach a thousand episodes. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.160 That's crazy, isn't it. That's crazy? Yeah? Yeah, Well, anyway, 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.959 well done. Thanks, you're producing some really good you know, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.600 it's funny this morning, Murray, my friend from the cafe, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.880 this is I'm going to This is full vulnerability, and 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.920 this is not going to make me look good. Right, Yeah, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.960 I'm just throwing myself under the bus and elevating you. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.360 But that's quite biblical because the Bible says he you 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.679 humbles himself will be exult right, So let's see if 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.840 that comes to pass, and he who insults himself will 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.720 be humbled. I've done that a few times. Hey, look 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:14.640 at me, boom So anyway, Wow, wow, welcome to flem Central. Everyone. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.200 It's Harps and or if she would like to be 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.760 known Brian. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.920 Anyway, noting that time down to cut that golf hand? 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.959 Do that? Do that? Or leave it in? No, leave 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:33.320 it in, puck it. So Murray came in and he 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.400 was talking about, oh, well think of the moment. But anyway, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.880 he started referencing you chatting to someone with on your 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:44.120 your podcast. I've known him for thirty years. He doesn't 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.920 fucking listen to mine. I wanted to kick him in 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.080 the dick. I'm like, what are you listening to her show? 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.000 For which I didn't really know. I was glad for you, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.679 but I was insecure and jealous and I just had 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:01.120 that moment there going one of my mates listens to Tiff, 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.640 but not to me. I don't know. Maybe he listens 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.160 to me. He never tells me. He's never he's never recalled. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.680 You were having a chat. He recalled some conversation. I'm like, 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.920 I didn't even know that he listened to podcasts, So 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.400 fuck you, But also well done. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.000 I feel a million bucks. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.560 Oh you should, and he's quite fond of you. And 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.200 I was having coffee with your big, hairy, tattooed, weird 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:30.320 looking boyfriend with fingernailed, multicolored fingernails and holes in his ears, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.600 and also speaking of him. Fuck it, this is people like, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.680 what is this show? I don't know anyway, who Me 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:47.360 and your bloke took Ron's new electric scooter. So's Ron's, 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.800 which I've shared Ron's my dad and Ron's Ron's got 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.440 Parkinson's and Ron's got lots of mobility challenges. Will say 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.840 at the minutes that probably won't get much better because 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:05.640 Arkinsass tends not to resolve itself, And so Scottie and 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:10.920 I he graciously gave up his time and energy and 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.320 we chucked it in the back of his big man van, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.400 big fucking testosterone man van while my little white lady 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.800 car is sitting in the driveway. I just fucking anyway, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.760 that's okay. I love my lady car. It's fantastic. And no, 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.320 not all ladies drive little cars. I know there's ladies 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.080 out there with big fuck off utes, big fuck off SUVs. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.800 In fact, there's more people in this area. I reckon 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.960 eight out of ten suv drivers the ladies. Anyway, So 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.080 we went up there and we gave Ronni his mobility scooter. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.080 And let's just say, at this point in time, and 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.200 if you know my dad, do not share this with him, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.560 Let's just say that Ron's perception of his skill versus 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:58.040 his skill, there's something of a gap, you know. And 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.360 I'm right, I'm right, and he's like, like, just it's 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.240 a fucking dodge and car at the moment. But he 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.720 was very excited. And you know what I love. I 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.200 love to see like my dad does not get excited 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.760 about much. And to be honest, you think about someone 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:19.440 who's eighty six, they've got Parkinson's, their mobility is really limited, 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.320 and there's a few other challenges significant that I won't 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.240 mention going on, like, life is not easy, life is 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.360 not fun, life is not convenient, and there's not a 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:32.160 lot of highlights at the moment, but he was a 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.560 little bit like a kid at Christmas today. So it 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.040 made my heart sing. And your bloke, your bloke has 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.080 got as people would know who've heard Scott Douglas on 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:49.400 my show and your fucking show. Fucking hell, Tip's got 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:57.520 a podcast anyway. Hey his I'm just kidding, am I No, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.040 I'm just kidding. I'm very proud of you. Yeah, he's 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.879 he's got such good emotional and social intelligence. And because 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.800 he's a paramedic and because he's been around all kinds 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:14.280 of people in all sorts of physical conditions. Yeah, he was. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.960 It was the Scott Show today. I you know, like 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.280 if he could have stayed or me, my mum definitely 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:28.520 would have picked Scott. She was enamored with him. And 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.879 I'm like a fucking desert boot and he's a fucking 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:38.600 red stiletto, you know, so, oh look a new shiny thing. Anyway, 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.600 he was great. It was great. Ron got his new toy. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:47.640 I hope he doesn't fucking crash any into anything. But yes, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.200 so well well done. You who was your thousandth episode? 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:51.800 I should know? 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:59.879 But uh, Daviana, actually remember we've spoken about Vianna trans Oh. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.080 Is that the powerlift? 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.240 Yes? Yeah? 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.399 Do you know can you give people? Well, I'm going 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.280 to give a snapshot and then you correct. So what 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.600 I like about he says he's a man, right, He 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.040 doesn't say he's a woman. Right. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:20.359 He identifies Yeah, female presenting, calls him well preferred pronouns 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:27.359 as she obviously, but calls himself a female presenting and 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.399 and a biological man like he's very facts over feelings. 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.760 Yeah, yeah, and I love it because he's like I 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.720 like wearing lippy and makeup and wearing a dress. And 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.480 has he got has he had implants? 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:41.960 Yeah? 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.920 And he's had a bunch of facial surgeries now he's 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.240 had like they're quite extensive he's had. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.679 Can I say he's quite fucking pretty? 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.640 Yeah. It's a blow times better than me, mate. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.919 I could probably kiss him. I reckon, he's got you covered. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.520 It's sorry, definitely, Yeah, really down to earth, really like 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.719 and he's a power she's a powerlifter, and she competes 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.600 competes against the dudes because she's like, well, biologically I'm 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:17.480 a man, yeah, Like she's not claiming to be a female, 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:20.960 but rather a biological male who likes to live as 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:21.600 a female. 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.560 Yes, and there was the trine of views on youth, 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:30.080 very very strong us on youth and parenting and schools 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:35.040 accepting the behavior that is tending to wean its way 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:35.919 in these days. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.840 And so I'm guessing not. And by the way, everyone, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.720 this is obviously a very hot topic and wh're not 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.439 pushing an agenda, so don't send an email. We're just 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.960 talking about a fucking topic. Isn't it funny that you 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.720 can't talk about some things where people will interpret into 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.920 that whatever they think, Oh, you're suggesting or no. If 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.040 I were suggesting, I would say, literally, I'm suggesting this, 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:06.280 but I'm not so Yeah, but I gather not a 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:13.320 big fan of regender reassignment surgery for anyone who's in 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:13.960 their teens. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.960 No, definitely not, definitely not talks about the prefrontal cortex 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:22.199 and their inability to be able to make decisions at 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.320 that time of their life. 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:32.719 Yeah, amazing. So what's been the what's been has there been? Like? 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.600 What's been the hardest part of Like I think we 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.000 can even though we're talking about developing a podcast, but 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:42.280 we can liken it to developing anything. Like you come 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.040 up with an idea you've got a plan, you've got 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.239 to execute the plan. You've got a timeline. You've got 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.560 to produce a certain amount of work every week. You've 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.680 got to find guests. You've got to get good guests. 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.439 You've got to have good conversations. You've got to edit it, 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:56.399 you've got to produce it, you've got to write copy 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:58.840 for it, you've got to publish it. And then in 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.919 the end you want to put up put out something 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.400 to the world that hopefully is somewhere between pretty good 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.200 and fucking amazing, which is what we try and do 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.840 here as well. Of course, what have been some of 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.240 the lessons for you, good or bad? 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:20.960 Ah, Good lessons I think is just the sheer amount 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:27.040 of learning that happens unknowingly, So realizing that you don't 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.359 learn more any other way than just getting your hands 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:35.080 dirty and doing the thing, and the skills I developed, 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:40.280 and the learning that happened I probably can't even articulate, 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:42.520 so the transferable. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:42.359 Skills to. 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.359 Luck life, but also to my speaking. You know, I 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:51.280 wouldn't be entering into speaking the way I do now 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:56.400 if I hadn't have had all of this time one communicating, 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:01.119 holding conversations with a mindset of other people listening and 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:06.399 other people's experience, but also of one thousand conversations with 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.879 one thousand people who have lived different lives, and you 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.840 sit in that conversation and you listen, and you you develop. 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.640 Your world develops, and your understanding develops because. 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:21.880 Of that and because you're doing, because you're in the experience. 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.400 You know you're but your mind's all over the joint 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.359 in that you're factoring in. Oh Am I too close 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.359 to the mic? Am I far away from the mic? 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.800 Is this interesting? Have we spoke? Do we talk about 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.600 this the other day? Is this repetitive? Is this engaging? 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:43.560 All the while trying to be genuine and organic? Like? 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:48.520 Clearly there's been no plan today everyone, clearly, But I'm 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:54.920 constantly thinking about would and some people will hate this chat. 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.000 I'm sure some people will love it, and there might 0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.280 be a bunch of people in the middle. I'm not sure. 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:05.679 But it's that that willingness to go. If I overthink it, 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.479 it's going to be shit. If I overthink how I 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.800 look or how I sound, or how clever I am, 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.240 or what they think of me, or you know, that's 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:19.320 that's destructive as well. But at the same time without 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:22.240 that negative overthinking. You've got to have that in the 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:28.280 moment's situational awareness and that social awareness. It's like, sometimes 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.399 I listen to myself and I'm like, am I talking 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.280 too much? Am I listening enough? Am I just waiting 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:36.679 for tip to shut up? Because I've got a question 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.680 and I'm not really listening to what she's currently talking 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:43.080 about because I've got my next question locked and loaded. 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:46.040 And then by the time you finish, I'm like, fuck her, 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:49.040 that question is no good anymore because we've taken a 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.639 left turn and do you know what I mean? And 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.720 you're like and you don't get to ask that. I'm like, 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.720 that was a fucking brilliant question, which probably wasn't. But 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:02.040 now you're at another tangent and works out better because 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:08.040
