00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,960

Speaker 4: have let the game go a little bit longer, but

57
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: I just heard the voice.

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: I was thinking, that's the voice of a mother.

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 5: Of six, and she's hearing city and it's raining out

60

Speaker 5: I was on Live TV.

68
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: About you.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: You say what you straight comes to your head. You're

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: bang straight out and that's what we love about it.

71
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's a lot of lawyers out there that

72
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: have been kept in employment the things that I've said

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 5: that have transcended focus.

74
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: Can we ask about I mean, you talk about six kids.

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I've got three of them.

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: I don't know how you do it. And I've seen

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: you out and about when you're trying to juggle it.

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: How's was homeschooling in lockdown for six kids?

79
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 5: Well, we're not where, We're not actually having homeschool at

80
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: the moment where we.

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 6: Are up in the north.

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Great, great, we're.

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: Just us just over the outside, just on the fringes.

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Thank god, you would have gone into lockdown at some stage.

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: How was that matter?

86
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: There was a lot of children being locked in the

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: garage with the boxing usual grain and saying now five plus.

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: Three equals no. But I did do a few things like.

89
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: If this is my application for Mother of the Year

90
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, going onto the beach and writing, getting them

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 5: to write the alphabet, or see how many sentences they

92
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: could write before the tide came in, And I really

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 5: sound like, here's a great one.

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 6: This is what I call nature.

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: Let let the natural world be your classroom, going to

96
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 5: spiders webs and getting the kids to identify the shapes.

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: And then come back and research what the shape?

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 6: What are you talking about? Boys?

99
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: You have one kid that's been washed out the sea, though,

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: and the other he's been beaten by a red bay.

101
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 5: But so you were talking about my storylines on neighbors

102
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: for a moment lost.

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: That's not lazy. The worst that we've done is the

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: game Sleeping Lions. First one, all the kids lie on

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: the floor. The first one to move is as sleeping lines.

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 4: Where so you didn't have a nat exactly right, says

107
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: just so you can get some sort of piece and quiet.

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: What about sleeping dogs? You play that, Well, that's not

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: me in no way. Now, Madeline, you've got a podcast

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: at the moment.

111
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: Where you I have.

112
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Is it true that you're like, you're just interviewing every

113
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: day Aussies but with the amazing stories.

114
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: It's called Invisible Heroes.

115
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 5: And it was kind of born out of isolation where

116
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 5: everyone was banding about the term essential, what's essential to you?

117
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 5: And so I really thought, what's essential to me, and

118
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 5: it's storytelling that I'm a storyteller, an actor, and an

119
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: author and now a budding activist, And so I went

120
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 5: out into the areas that I started working a lot

121
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 5: in the charity sector because everyone seemed to turn away

122
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 5: from that.

123
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 6: When we go.

124
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: Into crises, we look in woods naturally, and I've always

125
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 5: I've been a long term ambassador for the Asylum Seeker Center.

126
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: I started working in homeless kitchens and have been working

127
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: very heavily in the environment, regenerating rainforests, and realized I

128
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 5: was encountering, encounter incredible people who you'll never see on

129
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 5: the cover of magazine, you never see them on the TV,

130
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 5: but they're the real change makers. They're behind the scenes

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 5: and they're making the world a better place by thinking

132
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: outside the box. And I thought, these are the stories

133
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: now that we need to hear. I don't want to

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: hear about the next celebrity and what they're launching. I

135
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: don't want to hear about the newest range of gin Gia.

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: I want to hear about who are really giving back.

137
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: And I think that that's what we've all found at

138
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 5: the moment that we've had to look inwood and realize,

139
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 5: you know what, my life isn't going to according to script,

140
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: so maybe it's time to.

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 6: Write my own.

142
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 4: Because the other thing you find, too is because everybody

143
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: is very much self focused with what they do and

144
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: how life works, and they're more than happy to be

145
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 4: sitting there on their phone and they don't have the

146
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 4: conversation with the neighbor over the fence like they may have.

147
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 4: You know, in the olden days, you don't realize what

148
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: people are doing that you might even work with, or

149
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: who your neighbors are. You don't realize what they're do,

150
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 4: know what they're doing. On the side, those great stories

151
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 4: can come.

152
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Out, you know, fascinating story the Michael Jordan documentary, which

153
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: they said is one of the best sporting documentaries of

154
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: all time, The Last Dance, Right. He didn't even know

155
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: that one of his teammates, Steve Kerr, that his father

156
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: was murdered as well, Michael Jordan's father.

157
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 6: Got They never had that conversation.

158
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: You ever had this conversation. And it's funny that you

159
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: become friends with these people, but you never really delve

160
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: into their lives.

161
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 5: So often what we do, it's considered social etiquette to

162
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: say Hi, how are you, and you immediately go I'm great.

163
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: Thinks oh, that's great, we should catch up and have

164
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 5: that drink. Instead, say hi, how are you and say

165
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: I'm actually really not good. I'm not coping at the

166
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 5: moment because it's confronting, but then it gives the other

167
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: person opportunity to say, yeah, actually I'm not greatly having

168
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: a real dialogue, especially at the moment. What this is

169
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: where the podcast was born from. I want to have

170
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: conversations with people who were really at the.

171
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 6: Cold face of the crisis.

172
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: We've gone through three extreme crises and here we are

173
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 5: amidst the apocalypse. Still now is the time to have

174
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: real conversations. And this is what started that. By having

175
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 5: conversations with people, I was working with and going, what,

00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: Hours and kidding me no, and watched sixty four buses

00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 5: eighteen years until it started.

202
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,199

00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 5: my kids on the school bus without having palpitations. It

205
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,320
