1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by Fancy Plants, creators

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: of delicious plant based snacks. These are the yays of

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: our lives. Busy and happy are not the same thing.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: We too rarely question what makes the heart seeing. We work,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: then we rest, but rarely we play and often don't

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: realize there's more than one way. So this is a

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: platform to hear and explore the stories of those who

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: found lives. They adore, the good, bad and ugly. The

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: best and worst day will bear all the facets of

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: seizing your Yea. I'm Sarah Davidson or Spoonful of Sarah,

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: a lawyer turned funentrepreneur who swapped the suits and heels

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: to co found Matcha Maiden and matcha Milk bar Sez.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: The Yea is a series of conversations on finding a

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: life you love and exploring the self doubt, challenge, joy

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: and fulfillment along the way. Hallo, Lovely neighborhood, back with

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: another installment of yeas of our lives And since you

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: loved her so much a few weeks ago, The legendary

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: at Foot is back again this week. And that was

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: just as much for my benefit as it was for yours.

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: If I'm honest. I'm sure everyone's been feeling that the

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: last few weeks have been even more intense in the

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: new cycle than things already were for the past i

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: don't know, two years, and honestly, I was just feeling

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: a bit flat and exhausted. I had a little bit

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: of a flare of the anxiety, so I called in

26
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: the big guns to bring the ya back to your ears.

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Just like last time, this is another very unplanned, very

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: last minute chit chat that's probably even more random and

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: all over the shop than last time, which really is

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: saying something I always say, how much I love the

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: banter that comes out of these more casual Yeas of

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: our lives chats, although this time I honestly feel like

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: I might have let too much of my crazy out

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: of the bag. My brain has been so much less

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: articulate lately than usual, so apologies in advance. I think

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I do keep reminding everyone just to go gently on yourself,

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: but really that's a reminder for myself that we can't

38
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: expect the same clarity or energy or motivation as we

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: usually do, and I've definitely been feeling that too, So

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: I almost didn't release an episode, but I thought for

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: me even more than for any of you. I needed

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: the pep up so and has delivered over and above.

43
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: We do cover some really interesting stories as well, about

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Andrew's family's experience through the Vietnam War, my adoption anniversary,

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: which was on the day that we recorded, thirty two

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: years since I arrived in Australia, and Andre's grandma going

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: viral for her AFL skills, which since the time of recording,

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: which is only yesterday, has also gone onto national TV.

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: It made news dot com dot Au this morning. It's

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: just being spread all over the internet, which is such

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: a joy. And really I'm in the biggest yays of

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: our life that has happened over the past seven days.

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: So definitely go and watch that. The link is in

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the show notes, and that's the basis of a lot

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: of what we talk about today. It did take us

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: a very long time to get to Theahborhood Watch, and

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: then recommendations were meant to record for half an hour,

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: it ended up being an hour. So again I'm like

59
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a vulnerability hangover of like, oh

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: my god, I literally just chatted for an hour about

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: nothing when I wasn't really in the best mindset, But

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys see it just as the authentic behind

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: the scenes content that I always try and put out there.

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: And I forgot to mention half the yighborhood watch things

65
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: that I'd noted down, So just quickly add in for

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: you too to have a look at if you need

67
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: a smile. One of our former guests from March last year,

68
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Madison de Rosario, is competing at the Paralympics at the

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: moment we mentioned the Paralympics, but I forgot to mention Maddie.

70
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: She's just an absolute legend and has just won a

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: gold medal, securing our first track and field gold in Tokyo,

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: taking out the eight hundred meters T fifty three, winning

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: her first Paralympic gold at her fourth Games, which is

74
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: just absolutely amazing. Go and have a look at Maddie's story.

75
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: She's such a treasure, just so down to earth and

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: absolutely lovely. Another Paralympic story that just made my heart sing,

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and you have to watch the videos because it'll actually

78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: blow your mind. An Egyptian paralympian, Ibrahim hammer To lost

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: both his arms when he was hit by a train.

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Who was just ten years old, and he is the

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: last person that you would probably think would be competing

82
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: in table tennis, where he holds the paddle in his

83
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: mouth and uses the right foot to throw the ball

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: in the air when he serves. He started playing only

85
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: three years after his accident and just didn't refuse. He

86
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: just refused to accept the absence of his arms as

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: a weakness. And go and watch the videos. He is

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: so fast people can't keep up with him. Just before

89
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: I'd watch the video, I didn't actually understand how it

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: would all work. But he is an absolute weapon. It's

91
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: so amazing. And if you think that you need to

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: really get you some motivation to push straw adversity, then

93
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Ibrahim is your guy. Another one that I thought was

94
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: really cute was a farmer in Australia who couldn't make

95
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: it to the funeral of his aunt. Made a beautiful

96
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: tribute with his sheep by share putting them into a

97
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: love heart, which he filmed with a drone from above.

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: And it's another beautiful video that I found on The

99
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Guardian that just made me really happy. Animals always bring

100
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: so much joy and an animal story, God, there are

101
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: so many this week. I'll leave it at this one, though,

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: because we also share. Some of the episode was these

103
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: cows who spend their summer they have a summer sojraw

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: on in the high Swiss alpine meadows and if they

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: get injured, they have to be airlifted down the mountain.

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: And I saw on one of the happy news or

107
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: uplifting news pages that I follow. By the way, the

108
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: internet can be a pretty dark place, but there are

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: so many amazing pages you can follow that will bring

110
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: you good news, which I love, and hopefully CZ is

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: one of them for you. There's all these pictures of

112
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: cows in little hammocks being airlifted across the mountains. It's

113
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: so sweet, and the little face has just made me

114
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: so happy. Cows are basically just big puppies, I believe,

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: and they brought me so much joy. So go and

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: have a look at that. I'll share it on the

117
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: CZA page as well. Clearly, since yesterday I haven't gotten

118
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: any less rambly than I was during the conversation. So

119
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I cut myself off now from this monologue. And this

120
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: is why you're so lucky that I got a guest

121
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: on board, because otherwise it would have been all of

122
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: this random bad in your years for probably an hour

123
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: maybe more. So I hope you have a wonderful Years

124
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: of Our Lives episode and enjoy hearing from ange Foot again. Sorry,

125
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: that little jingle bell was Paul getting off the bed.

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: It's a busy Monday over here, and that you're all

127
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: being very kind to yourselves this week and are seizing

128
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: your yay. However, you can welcome back too, Years of

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Our Lives, Vim. It's only been ten or twelve days

130
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: since the last time you're alive. It's like a people

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: enjoyed it so much because the bunter was just amazing

132
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and you're always such an amazing guest on the show,

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: bringing all the ya's to Our Lives. But b I

134
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: just didn't have anything to do it by myself. And

135
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: I called you like half an hour ago. I was like, so,

136
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: it's Sunday, we got an episode tomorrow.

137
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you are so, I was like, I've run

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 2: out of things that could possibly share to the world,

139
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: But of course I'll be there for a laugh. But

140
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: now I always love being.

141
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: That is so not true. You have so many things

142
00:06:59,240 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: to share with them.

143
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: I do so much, I feel, you know, I have

144
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: like my brain size is very small, so I have

145
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: like one philosophical thing to say, and I'm like, yeah,

146
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm so philosophical, and then that's exhausting, exhausted contributions to

147
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: the world.

148
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: You were so philosophical last time, Like we just go

149
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: from hysterical bowel movement chats to like deep meaning of life, Yeah,

150
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: philosophical essays.

151
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: To remember I was sedated last time?

152
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: Why did I let you near remind?

153
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: No, no kidding, But half an hour ago I was like,

154
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: do we have drugs in this house.

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: That would have made such a better chat?

156
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: We obviously don't.

157
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: I had like seven people replied to that specific part

158
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: of the episode being like, oh, imagine android mushrooms, so

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: fair things fair to How are you we have just

160
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: literally I think last time we had a lockdown announced

161
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: or an extension announced, and then this time, about half

162
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: an hour ago, we had another extension announced. How are

163
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you going?

164
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we've actually had two extensions announced in

165
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: the last time that we've chatted, which is a lot.

166
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: And I think the last time the topic of conversation

167
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: was how hard the last one was and needing new

168
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: things in ways to get through it.

169
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: And then that's right, Yeah, I should have just re

170
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: released the old chat, this is how we're feeling again.

171
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know was I there? Did you just forgot

172
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: it by yourself?

173
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: It was, yeah, it was talking about how Lockdown five

174
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: was already hard as it was, and then I think

175
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: two days later we had probably gotten to extension of

176
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: Lockdown six and then and then another extension of Lockdown

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: six again today.

178
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think a lots also, lots has happened

179
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: since last conversation, particularly with work being at the Royal

180
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: Melbourne and then Judy over the weekend. So I've been good.

181
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: I've personally been really good. I can't complain. As always,

182
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm very very very very very lucky that not much

183
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: changes for me with things like Lockdown. The hardest thing

184
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: I guess is I was trained from marathon and I

185
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: was pretty much the only thing that changed drastically. It

186
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: was not being a run for a long time. But

187
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: I also got injured, so it didn't really matter. But

188
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: I am so lucky that I get to go to

189
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: work every day and then keep all of my jobs

190
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: at the same time and still do the things that

191
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: I like to do and work on my van and

192
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: things like that. So yeah, I am in the most

193
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: privileged and grateful position, so I can't really complain about

194
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: how I am. I think my little graditude project has

195
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: been really awesome and kept me out of any kind

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: of lull. But yeah, I've been really good. Actually, the

197
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: colonists be cleared out my bowls, so I'm proving well.

198
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: Update for everyone since last time was immediately post colonoscophy

199
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: the drugs, I'm so glad. That's a yay for the whole. Yeah,

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: everything smooth.

201
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: Around at home. Bowel movements are a like a plus

202
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: at the minute. So at the moment, Oh.

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: Well, everything's coming up and this week.

204
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: How about you, how are you going?

205
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good. I feel like I've had this conversation

206
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: with you and a couple of other people in the

207
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: last few days that positivity Panda has genuinely been alive

208
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: and well for all of the lockdowns up until now.

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Like obviously, I've had a few lulls, a bit of

210
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, resistance or anxiety and uncertainty, but overall have

211
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: been very lucky to keep working and to have you know,

212
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: lots of parks in our five k's, to live with

213
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: my family, to have a house with enough space, a yard,

214
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: a dog, you know, there's so many things about the

215
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: situation that have meant I've generally stayed very grateful and

216
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: active and you know, in a pretty good physical and

217
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: mental health through it. But just this last one has

218
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: started to I'm just a zombie. It's really started to

219
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: just kind of like I don't know where I am.

220
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: I haven't had a big.

221
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: I can testify.

222
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Like I hand, oh no, but I generally, like a

223
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: lot of people have USD. You know, how are you

224
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: positive all the time? Like I'm definitely not positive all

225
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: the time, but I can say that I have found

226
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: positivity and a gratitude practice really helpful to generally fare

227
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: pretty well up until now for the past two years.

228
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: But I think it's just started to tick over into

229
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, the last thing we did before we went

230
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: into lockdown was getting married, you and I.

231
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: I missed that too.

232
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was beautiful. You will make up for me.

233
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: It was really amazing. You let me put a dress

234
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: on you. It's really good time. But you know, like

235
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: as those milestones start to come up, like the two

236
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: year wedding anniversary, you realize how much time has passed

237
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: and we still haven't had our honeymoon, And like you know,

238
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: starting to think about having kids is on hold, and

239
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: like you start to realize how much of your life

240
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: is kind of getting consumed by that. And just this

241
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: past week it's been a bit like yeah, a bit flat.

242
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: But and that's why I was like, I'm not feeling

243
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: years of our lives all over my own. It's going

244
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: to be like a big monologue of.

245
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: So much crap. Not realizing you were having a flat

246
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: week for not picking up your phone and I abuse

247
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: you for being like do you personally block me? Did

248
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 2: you block me?

249
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Because I I put my phone on do not disturb?

250
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I was having like, you know, respecting my mental health

251
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: boundaries and and wrote like fifty seven thousand messages in

252
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: a row, like where are you? What are you doing?

253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: It's been forty five minutes you block me? Oh my god,

254
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: we're not block trying.

255
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: To call you and you didn't pick up like four times,

256
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, And then I went onto

257
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: your Instagram and you're putting up stories. It was like

258
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: thirty seven seconds ago, and I was like, this little

259
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: is putting up stories and at hanging up on me,

260
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: And I was afusing it was you personally mock me?

261
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: I know it yeah. Absolutely. I was like, I just

262
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: don't want to hear about your bows anymore. I just

263
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: can't do it.

264
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: That very zombie. No I understand.

265
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get zombie. I get a bit zomb I

266
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: don't get that's sad. I just get really like I

267
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: sit on that, you know, that meme of the fox

268
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: on the bed in shower just staring at the way.

269
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I get like that and I can't really like just

270
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: out of it.

271
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

272
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: So it's been one of those weeks where it just

273
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: all sort of hit me a bit, the passage of time.

274
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: But still of course so grateful that we've been out.

275
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: We've really fared a lot better than a lot of people,

276
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: and still have had some amazing like good news stories

277
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: and beautiful things in the neighborhood that have happened, and

278
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: one that I think we definitely need to talk about

279
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: from your side of the family, which brought me so

280
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: much joy and like tens of thousands of Victorians so

281
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: much joy. So that stuff has really been getting me

282
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: through and it's passing now you just have to I

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: feel like with those feelings. One of the quotes I

284
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: posted yesterday on the cz A page was the idea

285
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: of like just because your feelings doesn't.

286
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: Mean In the background with the measure, I know.

287
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm having like a deep and meaningful conversation about my feelings.

288
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: And Nick's like, I was just saying, how I've been

289
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: a zombie this week.

290
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: This week, you know how I've.

291
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: Been like positivity Panda through all of the lockdowns, and

292
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: then just this week, I've been that fox on the bed, like.

293
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: Nick can't hear me.

294
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can't hear get under everyone. Nick's just

295
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: making a little cameo.

296
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: In the door, and I was like, I'm waiting for

297
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: something in the cup. I saw the little tap measure

298
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: I was trying to tell me inspirational quote. I could

299
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: it just like this slow question tech measure in the background.

300
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: I just couldn't sort you're trying to say as you

301
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: zoned out when something tiny happened.

302
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: It was also when I was saying something like really

303
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: deep and meaningful about my feelings, was talking about no,

304
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: I was. I was talking about just because you ignore

305
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: your feelings doesn't mean that they're not there. And then

306
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: I was going to have a big, like emotional outpouring

307
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: of truth and authenticity and erected like you sure.

308
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: Anyway?

309
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: So that's so, and people wonder why I have anxiety

310
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: with these two around me constantly. You're not even at

311
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: our house at the moment, and it's already happening. It

312
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: was a nice pri My quote was it was it's

313
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: not the quote of the for today, but it was

314
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: from Cza's Instagram page, which is just the idea of

315
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: ignoring your feelings doesn't mean that you've recovered from them

316
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: or that they're not there. And I'm extraordinarily good at

317
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: masking and thinking that I'm totally unaffected by things, and

318
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: then suddenly I'll just sleep for a day. I'm like, oh,

319
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: I was having a reaction. So that's been like this

320
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: book is just like oh why am I really tired?

321
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: But all processing and it's all good. And today is

322
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: actually my anniversary of coming to Australia.

323
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: So excited.

324
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: It's been a really nice perspective giver and time to

325
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: sort of circuit break and come back to like, oh

326
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: my gosh, Like thirty two years ago, my mom went

327
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: to Korea and picked me up and brought.

328
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: Me I always forget that you're adopted.

329
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Actually, then she's Facebook memory and I was like what.

330
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: And then I even when I look even like you

331
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: and Elizabeth together is he and even though she's full

332
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: like country buck in Australia and you're obviously not, and

333
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: still like, oh you were adopted. Really, I just don't

334
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: forget all the time. It is really cute, It's really

335
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: it's really exciting. I'm glad that you remember the day

336
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: or there's documented in the day that you came because

337
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: it is a pre momentous time.

338
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always try and acknowledge it because for mum

339
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: it's more our birthday than our actual birthday. And like

340
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: having so many friends have children in the last sort

341
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: of two to three years and know how much I've

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: been involved, even just through zoom in their sort of

343
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: zero to six months of growth and development and realizing,

344
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, Mum got me at six months, like

345
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: didn't get to do that whole first bit. I'm like,

346
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: that's weird, Like I've never thought about that before. I

347
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: just arrived and was like, hey, take me home.

348
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: Does she get emotional onto like on your anniversary day

349
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: or does she not remember it or no?

350
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: We celebrate it every year. We have like a big dinner.

351
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: You know, we'll have a dinner tonight. We'll probably have

352
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Korean and the next in exactly seven days, is Alexander's

353
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: anniversary of when he came four years later, so we

354
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: do the same thing, and yeah, she gets really emotional

355
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: just realizing, like that's her mother's day. Our birthday is

356
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: a special but like she you know, she didn't give

357
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: birth to us, so it's the day that she became

358
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: a mum, when she got to like bring us home.

359
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: And there's all these really beautiful photos of us at

360
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: the airport, meeting our grandparents, and just a really nice

361
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: day to remember. Because it's something I'm the same. I

362
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: forget about it all the time, Like I have no

363
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: as you know, I have no memory of being that young,

364
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: so I have no traumatic memories or any identity hang

365
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: ups about it because all I know is my parents

366
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: who raised me, and I never really think about how

367
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: different it could have been, except on this day. I'm like, wow, Wow,

368
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: that is so cool.

369
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Would you this personal question, have you ever had the

370
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: urge to go back and find your biological parents?

371
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: Interestingly, even though I've like always been such a curious mind,

372
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: I have never had even an inkling to go. And

373
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple of things, a couple of

374
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: reasons why one is that that often is driven by

375
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: people not necessarily getting along with their adopted family, so

376
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: they feel the sense of like a gap, or if

377
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: they were adopted when they're a little bit older, they

378
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: tend to have memories, like really blurred memories, and they

379
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: want to try and put all that together because I

380
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: was so young and I only remember my family here

381
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: as my family. There's no gap, and we've always you know,

382
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: got along like that. It's just they're the only family

383
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: I've ever known. Because of that, there's never been a

384
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: big gap that's driven that need to go and find

385
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: out more. The other thing is like the huge cultural

386
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: and language barrier that again also makes it like what

387
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: would the interaction look like the bureaucracy of trying to

388
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: get documentation when the addresses they gave in the first

389
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: place have probably changed ten times or twenty times since then,

390
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: and it was career in the eighties, and you know,

391
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: it's like such a logistically difficult thing to do. And

392
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: I think the third, like probably subconscious thing is what

393
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: would I find out? Either you find out positive things

394
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: which is lovely but doesn't really add you know, much,

395
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: or you'd find out negative things that are only going

396
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,239
Speaker 1: to like with your medical history. Fore example, people like

397
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: I would love to know my medical history because it

398
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: would be helpful. But then would you want to know

399
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: that you've predisposed to something, because then you'd think that

400
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: you're going to get it, even though maybe you won't.

401
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: Like what does it change in your life? What would

402
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: it change about the way that I live my life?

403
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm like, I just think it could

404
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: open a can of worms or I just have no

405
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: gap in my life here. But having said that, if

406
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: you said my birth parents were right outside and I

407
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: didn't have to do any like ten year search to

408
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: like a CIA spy and figure out where they were,

409
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: of course I would go. I'd be fascinated, and I'd

410
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: go and like love to know what they look like,

411
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: and you know, I'd be curious, but I'm not like

412
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: seeking that out. And we've got to meet our foster parents.

413
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: So we were born in an orphanage. But you can

414
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: pay to have your like once you're allocated your family,

415
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: you can pay to have your child in a family

416
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: home so that they get like six months in an

417
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: environment that's not sort of a hospital like environment. And

418
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: when I did go back, I've got to meet missus Kim,

419
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: who I spent in her family. Yeah, she's so you know,

420
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: that's only like five surnames, incurage.

421
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: Did she have? Did she have a convenience store? She did?

422
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: You know what?

423
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: She didn't, And it's really disappointing she.

424
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: Could she could.

425
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Now I love Kim's convenience. But yeah, I've never had

426
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: any great desire. But again, yeah, if you put them outside,

427
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: I'd be like, sure, that'd be amazing cute.

428
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: No, Like I already knew the answer to that, But

429
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: I've been personally asked that question about you, but I

430
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: can't really reply, have you really? Yeah? Yeah, like I

431
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: ever wanted to meet their parents? And I was like, well,

432
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: she doesn't, Like she doesn't feel need to because of

433
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: this first her mum, and it's like she doesn't need

434
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 2: to fill any gap. But I feel it feels weird

435
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: sometimes if I'm explaining your life and particular with that kind.

436
00:21:50,960 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: Of I love how you're suppose if you've heard our

437
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: story at all, you'll already know we have a plant

438
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: based cafe and a big supporters of incorporating plant based

439
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: food into your diet wherever you can. It hasn't always

440
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: been easy to find tasty and nutritious plant based options.

441
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: But things have come a very long way since we

442
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: first started, and our partner in Yay Fancy Plants has

443
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: been one of my favorite fines. We all know how

444
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: intensely a snack attack can hit, and it's tempting to

445
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: reach for whatever is around you. So if you've stocked

446
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: up on fancy plants as snacks, you know you'll be

447
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: reaching for something to satisfy those sweet cravings that's also

448
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: full of nutritional benefits. I mean, I personally love knowing

449
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: that snacking is helping both my body and the planet.

450
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: As if I needed any other excuses, they have delectable

451
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: options to choose from, including their Silky Pot, an indulgent

452
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: chocolate pudding named after its smoothest silk texture, the Chea Pod,

453
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: a vanilla or chocolate flavored chea pudding, and the Vanilla

454
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: Rice Pud, a plant based upgrade to the classic rice pudding.

455
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Yum Oh shop in Woolworths, you can find the Silky

456
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: Pot and rice put in the chilled dessert section and

457
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: the cheer Pod in the yogurt section. If you shop

458
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: in Coals, you'll find them all in the chilled health

459
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: section next to the TOFU. Now back to the show.

460
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: But I have also become your spokesperson and agent because,

461
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: as we know from the three or four appearances and

462
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: just made on this show, she's a multi talented weapon

463
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: that does a million different things in a million different

464
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: industries and has now filtered that fame and celebrity through

465
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: to one of her grandmothers, who as and briefly touched

466
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: on at the start. I've had a great week because

467
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: of all the things that happened to Judy. Judy went

468
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: viral on the internet. Tell us about this. Actually, first,

469
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the quote of the Ya before we move on to

470
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: Yighborhood Watch was chosen in honor of Judy going viral

471
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: because I love her so much and I thought that

472
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: really represented what had happened for us in this past

473
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: week as a family, as a blended family, so going

474
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: and it's very seasy. The quote is you don't stop

475
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you

476
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: stop laughing.

477
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's so good, isn't it beautiful?

478
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: One of the things that has in this kind of

479
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: flat week. Sometimes anxiety manifests is physical discomfort, not just emotional,

480
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: where I can't sleep, I can't sit still, but when

481
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: I move, I don't want to move, but I don't

482
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: want to sit still. And the only thing that really

483
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: helps is just escapism, like getting through that discomfort and

484
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: passing the time until you can kind of get through it.

485
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: And humor never fails to break through that kind of

486
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: emotional fog. And what I've watched the video like about

487
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: eighty five times over, humor and laughter has been the

488
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: best medicine. And also reflecting on the anniversary and like

489
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: another year passing, it's kind of like a birthday and

490
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: thinking like what is age? And seeing your grandma's defy

491
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: age all the time because they love life. Somebody you know,

492
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: just like I don't know, I thought that was a

493
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: really nice quote for this week tell us about Judy.

494
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: Obviously, I actually that is really because I think it's

495
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: something that I personally live by that humor for me

496
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: is exactly that I think I always say to people.

497
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: I was like, if I can right now. With work,

498
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: I rotate into different teams in streams every four months,

499
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: and my goal in each stream is to be the people,

500
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: the bringing on bringing of people, people together. People.

501
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: Do you know someone actually messaged and understood what we

502
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: were talking about She's like, I study Japanese at school

503
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: and you guys just captured oh so.

504
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: Well.

505
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: I was like, she gets said she would have got

506
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: it and was laughing.

507
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: I thought no one.

508
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: Would understand anyway.

509
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: Now, my goal is always to bring people together and

510
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: how that may be, and then the other thing is

511
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: to like make people feel comfortable and really happy and

512
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: like very comfortable with themselves and then environment that they're in,

513
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: and all of that come down to breaking barriers and

514
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: breaking insecurities from the get go, and that for me,

515
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: I do that with humor and comedy or beinghoon or

516
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: like just being like really out there and so weird

517
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: and quirky that anyone else around me can feel comfortable

518
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: to be just as quirky or just themselves, because surely

519
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: it cannot get worse than me.

520
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: So I set the bar really so that everyone else

521
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: feels exactly.

522
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: But laughter for me is one hundred ccent is something

523
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: that I will always strive to keep. Even in the

524
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: darkest of days. I think I will always resort to

525
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: finding funny videos or calling someone that I know is hilarious,

526
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: or hang out with Bnoy and Duty and things like

527
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: that because they're just funny in themselves and they're just

528
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: very much innate with funny. But I'm glad you brought

529
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: that up because I think there's a lot of Neggi

530
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: negativity in the world, not in terms of like people

531
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: being somewhat negative, there's just a lot of things happening

532
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: in the world that aren't necessary. The greatest things, particularly

533
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 2: with like Afghanistan has happened recently, and then obviously lockdowns

534
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: for us, and then it's just ongoing kind of restrictions

535
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: and you livingon and you had fires in Greece, so

536
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: there's kind of everywhere you look in the world there's

537
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: somewhat sadness. But yeah, laughter is something that's kept me

538
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: very much joyous and happy, and I'm hoping other people

539
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: as well, and something that I'll continue to be if

540
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: it means that it makes other people happy as well.

541
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: I think that's one of my goals in life, is

542
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: just to make people around me really happy.

543
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: Which you absolutely do, as everyone can tell. I was

544
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: like borderline breakdown this week, and I was like, so

545
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: I need to do a Yay focused episode while I'm

546
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: the Fox on the bed. I'm gonna collatch. This is great,

547
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: But you've got to build your gighborhood for the things

548
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: that you need exactly. You always bring joy to my life.

549
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: But before you explain the actual video, So out of

550
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: this desire to make people joyful and spread smiles and

551
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: happiness and just wholesome feels and has created a lot

552
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: of content over the last two years that has just

553
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: absolutely made my life. But this particular view went viral,

554
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: as in got onto national television. But can you explain

555
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: the context of Judy and Benoit. First, I don't know

556
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned them last time.

557
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: No, we did have. No, I don't think so, but

558
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: I would love to because I think knowing their context

559
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: and their story makes it even more of a great

560
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: video and great story. So essentially, Judy, we call her Judy,

561
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: we get her an Anglo Saxon name just for fun,

562
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: and it's really stuck. So she calls herself Judy, and

563
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: Benoit calls her Duty, so everyone calls her Duty despite

564
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: her not speaking a word of English and very much

565
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: having a Vietnamese name. So she goes by Judy, which

566
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: was named by my sister one day who just decided

567
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: that to call her Judy. And Susan. We've given Benoa

568
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: Susan as an English name because it's one of the

569
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: ones that she can pronounce.

570
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: So, so Benoy is Andrew's grandmother, who most of you

571
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: will have heard about before.

572
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Benoy is my paternal grandmother, so my dad's mum,

573
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: and she's lived with us since I was born. So

574
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: she was sponsored here after the Vietnam War when my

575
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: parents found refuge here. So she's been here since I

576
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: think like the eighties is when they came around that time.

577
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: And Judy, on the other hand, Judy is Benoy's sister,

578
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: So my dad's auntie. You're not really you know that

579
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: mean with that lady with the maths stings on her face. Question,

580
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: that's your family right now, you have to really draw.

581
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: That's also everyone with our friendship, they're like it's like

582
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: Nick and Sarah and An and the dog and like

583
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: the Grandma's Like when we used to go and watch

584
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: your football games and they'd be like you eight cousins,

585
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: You're like Grandma's Nick, Me, Paul and my aunties were

586
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: watching you and everyone's like what is that. It's like

587
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: eighty five couples and they're all different, like my adopted

588
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: family as well. So it's like the United States people.

589
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: So Judy is the noise sister, younger sister, so the

590
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: noise eighty five. She stolid eighty five. She doesn't look

591
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: at it, she didn't act like it. She's awesome. Judy

592
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: is seventy eight. But last year, in March, literally a

593
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: day before they closed international borders, and I think it

594
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: was March thirteen or something, Judy came to Australia. So

595
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: we have been trying to get Judy to come to

596
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: a share for years, or Dad had, but it's been

597
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 2: really hard because she doesn't have a birth certificate. She

598
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: didn't have one because of the war, so we didn't

599
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: we couldn't really ever verify her to get a visa.

600
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: She had never left Vietnam in her whole life, so

601
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 2: in seventy eight years, had never left the country. She'd

602
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: phone in to save a few times. She's from Harnoise,

603
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 2: up north, but other than that, she was in a

604
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: farm out there and that's all she knows is Vietnam.

605
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: Don't speak a drop of English, it's just kind of there.

606
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: So we've got her to Australia at the start of

607
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: last year and mind June, first time in a long

608
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: haul flight. Don't speak another language. She was scared, so scared.

609
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 2: She sat in this chair for eight hours, didn't eat

610
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: her food, Like, didn't even know how to put the

611
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: little table thing down. She just sat still. The movies

612
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: waste watched Oh my God.

613
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Anyway with the subtitle.

614
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she just sat for eight hours straight and

615
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: like she finally there's actually a video of her and

616
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: Benoy reuniting after she arrives. But she came south last

617
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: year's with me for three months, and so she packed

618
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: this little tiny bag with her little clothes for three months. Anyway,

619
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: it's been a year and a half. She's still not

620
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: even close to going.

621
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Benoy and Judy are Susan and Judy's little routines together,

622
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: like they're morning Milo and their little solitaire, like all

623
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: thettle things they do together. They're just the heroes of

624
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: the pandemic.

625
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: Really, yeah so they So Benoya used to go, still does,

626
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: obviously with the restrictions and the pandemic, she hasn't been.

627
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: But she normally goes to Vietnam every year to visit Judy,

628
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: and then she's got some brothers there as well, and

629
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: then obviously grandnieces and nephews and things. But Judy and

630
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: Susan actually were separated for about forty years because of

631
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: the war. So in nineteen fifty four, Benoit went down

632
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: south with her husband because you know, back in the day,

633
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: and I think still would be the case that you

634
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: just follow your husband wherever he goes. So he was

635
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: in the war, he's in the military, I think, and

636
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: they went down south. So because the war was between

637
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: North and South, pretty much when you cross the border,

638
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: that's it. You kind of just lose ties with everyone.

639
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: And Judy and the rest of her family stayed up north,

640
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: and I think Benoy had like a good amount of siblings,

641
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: I think eight or something or maybe even more so

642
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: the rest of the family stayed up North and Benoit

643
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: went down south, and that was in nineteen fifty four,

644
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: and then they pretty much cut tires and lost contact

645
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: since then. And in this time, Benoy had three kids,

646
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: one being my dad, and then Judy had a bunch

647
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: of kids, and then her siblings and then her mom,

648
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: like her siblings got married and had kids, and her

649
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: mom was doing their thing, her thing as well, I

650
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: in my great grandma. Meanwhile, Benoy had no idea and

651
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: neither of them had could update each other either so

652
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: there was not like snail mail. There was no internet

653
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: or couldn't phone over because obviously there's the separation between

654
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: north and South. So in that time Dad escaped the

655
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: war on a boat, and Bnoi stayed in Vietnam by herself.

656
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: By this time, my grandpa had died. He had died

657
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: in the war, so she was all alone in Vietnam

658
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: because all of her kids she sent out to escape,

659
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: and then they came to Australia. Dad finally found refuge

660
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: after a long kind of stinted in a boat I

661
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 2: think he ended up in I think it was Malaysia,

662
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, and then finally got a place to

663
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: find refuge here in Australian Perth. And I think a

664
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: part of Afghanistan being so promptly in our house this

665
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: week is because nothing really reminds my parents or brings

666
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: that story up with them very much. However, this week

667
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: it was like Dad watched it on the news and

668
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: he's like, this reminds me so much of it. We

669
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: escape Like it was the exact same thing, he said,

670
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: but probably worse because they were on the fishing boats

671
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: and things like that. So even Benoy was like, this

672
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: is exactly what it was like, you know, scrambling, throwing

673
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 2: kids over the boats, throwing kids up onto boats or

674
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: into boats or into the water or whatever. It is.

675
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: The whole escape and the urgency and the fear and

676
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: the running and the whatever you can holding onto aeroplane wings,

677
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: like whatever you can get. They very much could relate to,

678
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: which was interesting to see because I look at Afghanistan

679
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: it makes me really sad. But then mom and Dad

680
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: are like, no, this is what this was us. This

681
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 2: was us forty years ago or whatever fifty years ago.

682
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: And then it comes with a bit of a wake

683
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 2: up call. But they came to Australia but now then

684
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: came to Australia in the eighties, sponsored by my dad

685
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: this time still in this time, she thought that her

686
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: mom had died, so my great grandma, and then she

687
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 2: had a funeral for her mom, thinking that she'd died

688
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: or assuming so. And then in nineteen ninety two, so

689
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 2: thirty eight years later, she had this phone call from

690
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: some maid in Vietnam because she had seen in the

691
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: Vietnamese newspaper the family looking for Benoi, the family being

692
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: my duty and stuff, just putting a quick note family

693
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: and this maid had originally been the maid for Benoit

694
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: and her family and also had come down south, so

695
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: she I kind of had cross borders, gone back and forth,

696
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: and then she was like, no, I think I know

697
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: where Benois and under a contact and eventually they got

698
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 2: contact with Benoit and was like, hey, they're all alive

699
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: and they want to speak to you. And so it

700
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: was like this massive thing. Banoy called back home and

701
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: realized everyone was alive, that her mom was alive. I

702
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 2: think maybe a couple of her siblings had passed, but

703
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: Judy was very much alive. Had kids. Imagine thirty eight

704
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: years of not speaking to your youngest or younger immediately

705
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: younger sister, and all of a sudden being like, oh

706
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: you're alive. You're in Australia. Yeah, for kids, they have kids,

707
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: and this is thirty.

708
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: Eight years of just.

709
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: Black in their history of sisterhood. So that was in

710
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two. And then my great grandma lived until

711
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: like two thousand and eight, so she lived here like

712
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: ninety nine. So butno, I got to spend a good

713
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 2: amount of fifteen years or something, the last fifteen years

714
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: with her mum, going back every year and then obviously

715
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: catching up with Judy and her siblings figuring out what

716
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: they did in the last thirty eight years. So yeah,

717
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: they were very close. They were very very close. So

718
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: that's why it's special to have Judy here because they

719
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 2: are catching up still on thirty eight years. They're caught

720
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 2: up on a lot, but there's obviously still stories that

721
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: have happened that they bring up over the thirty eight years,

722
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: and they didn't get to know or see each other

723
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: for so it is very special. This is why we

724
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: love Judy so so so much. And them together is

725
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: I was like secretly and like, oh yeah, no, hopefully

726
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: Judya doesn't have to go home. She's like, take me home.

727
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: Well, one of those reasons could be because so my

728
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: deep desire for and is that. And I think you've

729
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: kind of started documenting it all. But I think this

730
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: should absolutely be a movie or a memoir or these

731
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: stories just need to be captured in some beautiful way

732
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: that will transcend time. But Andrew's way of doing that

733
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 1: for now is to secretly film them doing their little

734
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: morning rituals, and no one in the family knows because

735
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: they don't have social media until he gets filmed learning

736
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: to play football, learning to kick an AFL football for

737
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: the first time in the backyard, and it goes onto

738
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: AFL Women's and then seven AFL and then and the

739
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: whole family sees Judy in the backyard on the TV

740
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: kicking a football with their shop holing off and then

741
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: trying to learn to bounce thetball. Oh my god, did

742
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: you know that it would like that people would love it?

743
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, because I plot this stuff all the time, like

744
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: I learned people that follow me love it, and I

745
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 4: personally love it, and for me, it's a part of

746
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 4: the documenting, Like I can sometimes look back through the

747
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 4: highlights and.

748
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: Have a really nice overview of the grammars. And we

749
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: don't stage any of this stuff, Like I don't have

750
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 2: time to be staying these things. Like I just I

751
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 2: was like, oh, we just film it and then it's

752
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: a quick exactly what a stage of itself. He's gonna potato.

753
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm a potato. But I love that they don't

754
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: even know you're filming.

755
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So Benoi has latched on, and she really like

756
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: I have to be even more sneaky with Benoy because

757
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: like she was spotted camera and be like, you fool

758
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: me again. You're gonna send it to She genuinely thinks

759
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm feeling just a sending you. She goes, she goes

760
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: white fimr, white fem mate, the guy that quit. I'm ha,

761
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: And that's pretty much like filming her. You're gonna send

762
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: it the Sarah ha. And then I was like, I

763
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 2: was like, oh no, I'm just like, look, I'm texting,

764
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: and sometimes I am literally.

765
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: Just tend to get to a current affair.

766
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm just scowling through my phone like a normal

767
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: human trying to just live my life. And she's like

768
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: abusing me and filming her, and the camera's like pointing

769
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: to the floor and she's like I can see it.

770
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: I was like, she doesn't know how it works, poor noise.

771
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: She's like ninety eight. To give her a break.

772
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 2: Selfies areas I catch on taking selfiees.

773
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: She said them to me before, and she totally speaks English.

774
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: But no, he thinks that we all don't know. So

775
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: she's like, I know, speak English. Like she'll say hello

776
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Sarah and like then no more. But then when we

777
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: make jokes like at dinner or something, or just be

778
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: talking really fast in English and like everyone will laugh

779
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: and you'll just see in her face. She pretends like,

780
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: oh what, but she's already accidentally laughed at the joke

781
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: and we're like huge English.

782
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: So the noise last on to the filming doesn't really

783
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: know what I do with it. She knows I put

784
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: it up somewhere, and I try to deny it, but

785
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: I can't really any I think she's figured it out,

786
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: but I think she realizes like who and to what extent?

787
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: And I very much do it as a means of

788
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: making people happy, to be honest, Like, it's just it

789
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: makes me really happy, and I share so much of

790
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: my life and people really love Banoi, so I share

791
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: it for that reason. And I realized that a lot

792
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 2: of people had missed people being like I missed my grandma,

793
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 2: and I haven't be able to see my grandma. And

794
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: it's been really nice to see your relationship with your grandma,

795
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: both from a cultural standpoint but also just a relationship standpoint.

796
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 2: I think I really love being able to relate to

797
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 2: young Vietnamese or young Asian people because we live quite

798
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: it's quite a unique lifestyle or culture. I think it's

799
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 2: something that I didn't realize was so unique until I

800
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 2: probably met you.

801
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: Who you came to our house quite Asian, but you

802
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: just because you were adopt eating and I have the

803
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: whole cultural like random Asian things.

804
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: Paul's just making.

805
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: But I think Paul's like the same thing. He's been

806
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: like an Internet sensation because everyone just wants little wholesome

807
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: moments of joy that are like not about the pandemic

808
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: and aren't about political affairs or vaccinations or they's nothing

809
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: to do with anything. They're just like pure joy.

810
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I filmed and Judy and I unless you're

812
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 2: don't speak of she doesn't speak English, like probably don't

813
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: speak English, but also doesn't even understand Western culture. Never

814
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: been out of the country. All of this is new

815
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: to her. She didn't make democracy was a thing. She

816
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: only knows communism because that's what Vietnam is. So when

817
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: she came here, Anoying like educated her about how there's

818
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: a voting system and things like that, and it was

819
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,719

833
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,000

839
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: my work seniors, like my bosses were like and I

840
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,120

841
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 2: from here.

842
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,920

844
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: Sports Show. And then that's kind of when I revealed

845
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: I didn't tell them very much that I'd posted about it.

846
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 2: I tried to keep it under the wrap so that

847
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: Judy would get angry that I just used her for

848
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 2: leg badge.

849
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: She's famous. She's been in Australia for like two minutes

850
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: and she's had more screen time Australians. We're trying to

851
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: have a career DV, just like on She Lost My Parents.

852
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: And they were, they were they've sent it back to

853
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: Vietnam to watch like they don't obviously understand English for them.

854
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: They said, she's on national television and there's a billion viewers,

855
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, okay, it's a little bit.

856
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Hyperbolly, but like she was on people do like the ABC,

857
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: but a billy, I've been a billion on a Sunday morning.

858
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,959
Speaker 1: Maybe who knows a little.

859
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: It's just gone viral this weekend. And she thought people

860
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: were laughing at her, which I had to reiterate now

861
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 2: and say, no, no, no, it's not that they're laughing

862
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: at you. It's that it's so wholesome that they really

863
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: love you and your laugh and it's all good things.

864
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: So I had to reiterate that because she thought, yeah,

865
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 2: that was the weekend.

866
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: I've watched it like literally a thousand She's so funny.

867
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, so you do a big kick

868
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 2: with your foot and then she her ball drop. She

869
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 2: like throws it to the wall and then missus the

870
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 2: whole ball and she falls off, falls off, and she's

871
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,319

872
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: Just so cute. Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful.

873
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Well that was absolutely one of the highlights of my week.

874
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: So one of my recommendations for this week is to

875
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: go and watch the video. Actually, I probably just post

876
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: it when we announced the episode, so that ever anyone

877
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: who's missed it sees it because it's just so beautiful.

878
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: It's like really short video, but it's just one of

879
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: those really wholesome moments where your heart just feels happy,

880
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: just feels happy for I know her a little us, but.

881
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 4: Also all she's so little, the balls bigger than her head.

882
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, she's so cute. And it's funny that

883
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: you were like, they don't understand English, but you're not

884
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: even you can't even really hear you guys speaking like

885
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: it kind of transcends language. Is just so cute. Getting

886
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: her to try something new and seeing her just have

887
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: fun with it.

888
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: It's so she was like, I was like, after you

889
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: finish your yoga, my play football. She's like, okay, yo play.

911
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: Obviously, yeah, amazing.

912
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: One of the best games I think mu to just

913
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: go watch the highlights is golball. It is amazing.

914
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: How is it even?

915
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 3: Do you know?

916
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: I learned in trivia this morning there are four sports

917
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: in the summer Paralympic games that don't have an equivalent

918
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: in the Olympics that just passed, and one of them

919
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: is goalball. There's also wheelchair rugby. Isn't equivalent basketball, event No,

920
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: because it's not like well I thought so to. I

921
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: was like, that's not even because there's rugby and the Olympics,

922
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: but it's because like it's not on a rugby field.

923
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: The rules are all different. It doesn't really have an

924
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: equivalent because it's on a basketball court. But it's vicious,

925
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: like it's I can't remember the other two were, but

926
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: goal was awesome.

927
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: I kin'd of want to play it.

928
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: So when we had a lockdown, absolutely we play Zoom.

929
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: We can play Zoom gold ball together.

930
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 2: I've got two more. There's a game that we have

931
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: just discovered, well not we, but my sister and has

932
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: just discovered and is the funniest game that you What

933
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 2: are you doing to NPM tonight? Come play because is

934
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: this what.

935
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: You what Catherine placed last night? Play and it was

936
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: like draw a picture to make or something? Is it

937
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: like picture?

938
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: Now I'll explain it, but I was cry laughing, like

939
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: we were cry laughing for like an hour because it's

940
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: just the best game and it's I think it's a

941
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: fool proof laughing game. But essentially what happens. It's called

942
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: gardic Phone and you play online, so everyone logs on.

943
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: It's kind of like you know, Cahoots, where you can

944
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: log onto like all longero a quiz and play the

945
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: quiz game.

946
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, see you log on.

947
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 2: It's not Coots obviously, but you're long on allto a game.

948
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: You can do it from your phone or your on

949
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: your computer. But the first prompt that you get is

950
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: to write a sentence or a phrase or whatever it is.

951
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: So someone yesterday wrote benoi pooping in a bush as

952
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: the phrase right may or may not have been made.

953
00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: But you then get the next road stop one rope

954
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: and not.

955
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: And then the next problem that you get is a

956
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: slate to draw on, and you get this a new

957
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 2: sentence in the top corner. The essentially what happens is

958
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: my sentence. Someone then the next person in the line,

959
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 2: like preten where else in the circle has to then

960
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: draw my sentence and they draw it, and then the

961
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 2: next person has to then guess what the sentence was

962
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 2: that they drew about, and it's like Chinese vispers with

963
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: drawing and sentences, and by the end of it, it

964
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: is so so wrong that it's freaking hilarious and it

965
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 2: shows you the evolution of how it things changed. So

966
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: we had one yes, so that went from like eating

967
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 2: a cake or something, and someone drew eating a cake

968
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: and the next person that had to guess didn't type

969
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 2: the answer in time, so I wrote eating and book

970
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: and stopped at that. So the next person had to

971
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: draw eating the letter B, and then I know what

972
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: it was, so I guess like eating a strapless dra

973
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 2: because that's what it looked like. And then person drew

974
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 2: eating a strucklers bra and then you see how it

975
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: all went wrong at the end, and it's like the

976
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 2: most hilarious game. So highly highly recommend it to doing

977
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: your family. You didn't have to do it on zoom,

978
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 2: but we've done it on zoom because obviously we're all everywhere.

979
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 2: But gartic phone is what it's called.

980
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: Oh, my god, that's the best.

981
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: And then my last one is Maury yahborhood watch situation

982
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: is that.

983
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're doing that. Yeah.

984
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 2: No, it's just a nice It's just a really nice

985
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 2: little token thing. It's not nothing major, but obviously yet

986
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: Roll Malbourne at the minute, there's been a lot of

987
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 2: stuff followed because there were a few cases there and

988
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 2: obviously being a hospital there on portion and they take

989
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: it really seriously to make sure that it's a really

990
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 2: safe environment for the system to continue, and so a

991
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 2: lot of staff have been followed on the back of

992
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: a couple of cases that we had at the end

993
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 2: of last week and many of them were physios and

994
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 2: so I've been over to cover and the physio department

995
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 2: are awesome. I can't wait about them enough. But we've

996
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: had a lot of stuff furlowed. And what they did

997
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: as a physio team is each person they found someone

998
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: in their five K and then they made them buddies.

999
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: So we all have a five K furloughed buddy. So

1000
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: I have one that's like three K from me, and

1001
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: I've now been her buddy to like bring back care

1002
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: packages that from work that they want and it's really

1003
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: really cute. Like at work, they've started this like little

1004
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: Olympic games for everyone to play, but also to give

1005
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 2: the furlad stuff something I like to have fun and

1006
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: be excited about. And some of the games involved like

1007
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: particular crossports or whatever it is. And so I've been

1008
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 2: like dropping this off to my five K buddy, and

1009
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: so everyone that's furloughed has a little buddy that brings

1010
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 2: them stuff or like very obviously sanitized and very clean,

1011
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: but it's been really cute. I thought it was a

1012
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 2: really really cute touch for a department to do, as

1013
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 2: very much a team, to make sure all of our

1014
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 2: furlowed stuff feel old, feel okay about it all. And

1015
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 2: obviously because they're furloughed just because of circumstance more than anything,

1016
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 2: and it just sucks to be told on the weekend

1017
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: and then you're off and you're gone on Monday to

1018
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 2: a hotel or whatever it is. Yeah, I thought that

1019
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 2: was really really nice.

1020
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: Thing that is so cute. That's like the definition of

1021
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: neighborhood Watch things that are literally happening in your neighborhood

1022
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: right now that are just really cute that wouldn't make

1023
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: the news like that, No one would otherwise hear about,

1024
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: but that you just hear it and you go people

1025
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: actually bother to do things like that purely for someone's

1026
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: quality of life in a particular moment, and that's the

1027
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: stuff that I just think is so beautiful.

1028
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think we like last year, I was somewhat

1029
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: in the healthcare system, but more so as a student,

1030
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: so I was still much, very much an outsider it so,

1031
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people are, and I'm

1032
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 2: in this in between point of I get for my

1033
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 2: friends that are struggling a lot through this from a

1034
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 2: small business standpoint, but obviously now being in the hospital system,

1035
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: I also see the importance of things like that to

1036
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 2: make sure that hospital can run. So I'm like, I'm

1037
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: in between two wheels because I'm so like everyone like

1038
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 2: so over lockdowns, Like I just want to be out

1039
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: just as much as anyone wants to be out, to

1040
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 2: be honest, And a part of me at one point

1041
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: was like, what is the point, Like, it's what does

1042
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: it do anything? And then obviously now being inside of

1043
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: what it could look like, I'm like, yeah, this is

1044
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 2: the reason why there's this constant back and forth. But yeah,

1045
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 2: it's nice to see that it's not all doom and gloom,

1046
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: as much as the media likes to make it seem

1047
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: like it's still very much have you in safe place

1048
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 2: despite everything that's happening too.

1049
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, that's so cute. And I think

1050
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: if you actually, if you look hard enough, like I

1051
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: keep saying it, I've been saying it a lot recently

1052
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: that people are finding, particularly with vaccinations. I think because

1053
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: it's such a heated topic that the Internet has become

1054
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: a very difficult place for some people to be around

1055
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: at the moment. But if you really do curate the

1056
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: pages you follow, like it's there's a lot of good

1057
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: news going around as well, of little things like that

1058
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: that you can hear about, Like there were such a

1059
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: cute one on one of the I think it's called

1060
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: good News Movement. It's such a nice page to follow,

1061
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: and I put all the notifications on so I get

1062
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: every single post, and like there was just a really

1063
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: small cute thing that happened between a mum and her

1064
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: son and she couldn't afford to buy it, like he's

1065
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: obsessed with manta rays. And I think I think I

1066
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: actually got a Google notification about it because her surname

1067
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: was Holloway and then I read the story and thought

1068
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: it was so cute. So she posted on Reddit about

1069
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: her how her son wanted a stuffed manterray for his

1070
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: fifth birthday because he's like obsessed with Manta rays and

1071
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: she couldn't afford one, so she made one, and she

1072
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: posted like the cutest little sown Manta ray and like

1073
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: read it when it became like the number one post

1074
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: on Reddit. Firstly because she made the cutest Manta ray ever,

1075
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: but all these people like contacted the zoo and had

1076
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: them hold like a gift card for the family so

1077
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: he could go, and like all these strangers came out

1078
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: to like buy him ways so that he could go

1079
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: and see an actual Manta ray, and like pulled together

1080
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: and often anonymous as well, and it was just such

1081
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: a like cute community story. When you see things like

1082
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: that and you just like there is still really good

1083
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: kindness and random acts of generosity in the community that

1084
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: just make you feel so good. So there's a lot

1085
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: of shit out there, but there's also some really beautiful

1086
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: things out there as well.

1087
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am a I think I said this last time.

1088
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm a cup half full kind of person. I always

1089
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: see the best side of people, and so it's very

1090
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 2: hard on this obviously it's like circumstantially really bad, like

1091
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: for example, a war. Then I'm genuinely soone to be like,

1092
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 2: it's always good in people, no matter how hard the

1093
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: day is, or how hard their day is, or how

1094
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: however bad they feel about themselves. I can only it's

1095
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 2: sometimes a good and a bad thing, but I really

1096
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 2: can only see the good side of people, So I

1097
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 2: think that's been a benefit for me getting through the lockdown.

1098
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 2: The other thing that I think has been really awesome

1099
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 2: to see is I think people like respecting each other

1100
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more. I think there's been a lot

1101
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 2: of opinions out there and stuff as well, but I

1102
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 2: think everyone's kind of slowly getting through it together as

1103
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: a team again, which has been hence the sharing of.

1104
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: To get her, oh my God, Judy for contracts, the

1105
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: hashtag let's do it, but also taking it away from

1106
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: kids who have wanted to do it for like their

1107
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: whole entire lives. And she just like doesn't even know

1108
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: the significance of it and just rocks up on the

1109
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: day like, oh my god, she's so cute. My recommendation

1110
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: for this week is not on a community level necessarily.

1111
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: It's a movie which actually gave me similar like you know,

1112
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 1: and calls it heart poke when your heart gets poked

1113
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: because you just feel really happy about you similar feelings.

1114
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: Isn't it so good feelings? Did I say that this

1115
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: is me in zombie mode? Guys? This would be random

1116
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 1: episode ever so similar feelings to Judy, very wholesome and

1117
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: just lovely. And I feel like I'm maybe twenty years

1118
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: late to the party. You know, when you discover a

1119
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: movie that you never watched at the time, and then

1120
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: like decades later, you're like, I ca't what everyone was

1121
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: talking about. This is why it was so amazing. There's

1122
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: a huge Grant movie called About a Boy. Have you

1123
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: seen it?

1124
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 3: No?

1125
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. If anyone just has some time to

1126
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: kill or is feeling a bit flat and just wants

1127
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: to watch something that's not too brain heavy, if you're

1128
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: feeling a bit tired and overwhelmed, but just easy watch.

1129
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful story. It's super heartwarming, and it's about

1130
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: this really vacuous guy who's wealthy and he's single and

1131
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: he wants to say a bachelor, and he doesn't want friends,

1132
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: and like he gets asked to be the godmother to

1133
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: his sister's child, and he's like, oh god, no, why

1134
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: would I do that? Like a man is an island

1135
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: and if you don't have attachments, like life is easier

1136
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. And he somehow gets looped in

1137
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: with this like sassy young boy who's like a primary

1138
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: school kid who gets bullied and he's having a hard time.

1139
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: His mum has mental health issues. And somehow, through Hugh

1140
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: Grant to meet girls, goes to a single parents meeting

1141
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: and he's like, not got a child. He presents that

1142
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: he has a kid, and he meets all these women

1143
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: and then somehow gets lived in with this little boy. Anyway,

1144
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: this boy sticks to him and like won't leave him

1145
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: alone and turns up to his house in the afternoons

1146
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: and they just become like best friends. And it's like

1147
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: that whole breaks through age barriers, social economic barriers in

1148
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: stage of life. Yeah, it is about an a foot

1149
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: We should start our own movie. But it's literally like

1150
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 1: you like how you have a key to our house

1151
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: and you just like turn up on a Thursday and

1152
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: just hang out for like five weeks. When you did

1153
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: a placement, like it's like that they just hang out

1154
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: and have the most beautiful friendship and it's all about

1155
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: family and like, I don't know, it's just breaking down

1156
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: barriers and mental health. I don't know. It's just so

1157
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: beautiful and you get to the end and I was

1158
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: just like, you know when you just get to the

1159
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: end of a movie and you just feel good about

1160
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: life or good about humanity. It's one of those yeah,

1161
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: is it a cry movie?

1162
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 2: Will I cry? I don't.

1163
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: I think you could cry. But it's not a it's

1164
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: not a real tear jerker. It's more like a heart joker.

1165
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: It's not like, yeah, really intense tears. It's more just like, oh,

1166
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: you know when like the tough, emotionless, cold, ruthless bastard

1167
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: turns warm, fuzzy, lovely and like, you know, you see

1168
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: the journey of someone converting him to caring about people,

1169
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: and it's just really nice and the young boy and

1170
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: at the end is like this big family dinner Christmas.

1171
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:28,959
Speaker 1: It's so sweet. It's really lovely.

1172
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 2: Oh kid, I'll watch it tonight, please do.

1173
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yeah, tell me. I can't believe I

1174
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: missed it. You know those ones that you're just like,

1175
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: how do I miss this movie? I don't. I don't

1176
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: know what I thought about A boy was about.

1177
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: You know how my movie experience is terrible. That's true.

1178
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: You know. Can we forced you to watch the movie

1179
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: and we're like, what do you think? What do you think?

1180
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: What do you think? And you're like, it's eleven minutes,

1181
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: shut up? Let me watch the movie, or like.

1182
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: If I caught down and you'll be like this part,

1183
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 2: this part, I'm like, yeah, I'm watching.

1184
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: If you please watching and concentrate, concentrate, and then watch

1185
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: it again, watch it again, but you sneeze in your

1186
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: eyes were closed. You need to watch it again anyway.

1187
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me for another hour

1188
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: of power Bam. That was meant to be half an hour.

1189
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I kept chatting to you for another half

1190
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: an hour.

1191
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how long these are meant to go for,

1192
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: And then I couple lot with the what are we

1193
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: talking about again?

1194
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: They meant to talk for like any time. There's really

1195
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: no structure to these episodes, and I also like sometimes

1196
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: they get to the end of them, and because usually

1197
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm interviewing someone else, I love that so much. But

1198
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I also don't have to talk about myself, Like I

1199
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: get to talk about themes and stuff, but I don't

1200
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: have to be you know. But then in these ones,

1201
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, I actually unleashed the fool crazy,

1202
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Like do I even publish it?

1203
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 2: Well? Should be finish for a quote? How about that?

1204
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like I was.

1205
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to set people a challenge this, like to

1206
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: fulfill this quote. Oh, this is a quote that I

1207
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: live by. I feel like I live by many quotes.

1208
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 2: The sounds of it, I know, but if genuinely it's copy.

1209
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 2: And I have reflected on this recently and realized I

1210
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 2: really hate talking about myself and I'm really terrible with

1211
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 2: compliments and appreciating characteristics with people bringing up them up.

1212
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 2: But I think this is something that I'm really proud

1213
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 2: that I do. And it's along the lines of being

1214
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 2: very much yourself in all circumstances, in in all environments,

1215
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: to be the truest version of you. Because one, for

1216
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 2: me helps me lower standards so people don't have expectations

1217
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: of me. But two, it's because life is easier, more happy,

1218
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 2: and more exciting that way, and you open many more

1219
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: opportunities than you think by being truly yourself. So this

1220
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 2: is my Angelo, my favorite person, the best one. It's

1221
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: a longer one, but I think everyone knows it. It

1222
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 2: is that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

1223
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

1224
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us you.

1225
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Playing small does not serve the world, and there is

1226
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 2: nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel

1227
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 2: insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as

1228
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 2: children do. It's not just in some of us, it

1229
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: is in everyone. As we let our shine, we unconsciously

1230
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 2: give other people permission to do the same. As we

1231
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

1232
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: I love that. That's beautiful, do you know it's so funny.

1233
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: Actually had a second one that's kind of similar, and

1234
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: it was inspired by you, actually, and also Judy, and

1235
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: also the whole anniversary adoption anniversary, and like owning how

1236
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: different your story is and our cultural backgrounds and all

1237
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Much shorter, but similar. It takes

1238
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: nothing to join the crowd, It takes everything to stand alone.

1239
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Back to that idea of like be weird and you know,

1240
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 1: don't always try and because I think we both have

1241
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: spent like chapters of our life trying to suppress the

1242
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: different parts of us that make us weird and quirky,

1243
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: and now they're just fully out in society.

1244
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Like yeah, because right at the start when I was

1245
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 2: like I and will go and be the quirkiest version

1246
01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 2: of me, which is the only version of me. But

1247
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 2: I think that it's led me to really great opportunities

1248
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 2: and it's effortless. I think then you're not feeling like

1249
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 2: you're trying to mold in and you're like, oh, what

1250
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: person am I trying to be again? And be that

1251
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 2: person or whatever it is. But I think it does

1252
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: look great like this saying says, it liberates others to

1253
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 2: be able to feel like they can do the same.

1254
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 2: And I don't think that's about shining so bright that

1255
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: it's in each other's eyes or in someone else's eyes

1256
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 2: or hearing your face kind of shining squinting, But shine

1257
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: bright and let yourself shind bright enough, sir, Least let

1258
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 2: some lights that others people can see in front and

1259
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: see them and guide them to where they need to

1260
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 2: be as well. So that's definitely a challenge I think

1261
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 2: we should set for the people. For the people of

1262
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 2: the Yeah Wood this week is to be as truthfully

1263
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 2: and authentically themselves, as weird as that may be. You

1264
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 2: can be as shamelessly funny or stupid or silly as

1265
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 2: you want, but Yeah, this is the world of universe

1266
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: giving you permission to.

1267
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: I love how you're the world, and permission.

1268
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 2: Podcast to tell you what I am.
