00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by BONDEI Sands Everyday Skincare.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: We're all destined to be unique, because if we're all uniform,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: there's nothing interesting about it. And if there's something about

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: you that makes you stand out from the rest of

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: the crowd, accept it, Embrace it. And if you want

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: to know what you're passionate about, just search your heart

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: and see what you love to do and what you love.

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: Life is not a race. Life is a journey. Life

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: is like a book. Chapters are like years, pages are

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: like months, and paragraphs are like days.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Seas the Yay Podcast. Busy and happy

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: are not the same thing. We too rarely question what

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: makes the heart seeing. We work, then we rest, but

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: rarely we play and often don't realize there's more than

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: one way. So this is the platform to hear and

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: explore the stories of those who found lives.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: They adore, the good, bad and ugly.

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: The best and worst days will bear all the facets

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,680

Speaker 1: the Easter break to catch up with myself again. It's

28
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,560

Speaker 3: What are you doing? Do you have anything planned?

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: Not really, But to be honest, my idea of celebrating

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: my birthday is just having a quiet, low key dinner

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: with a woman one on one.

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: I love this.

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: I actually have got I'm married, but if I were

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: ever to be single again, I have gained a lot

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: of dating tips and knowledge from listening to your podcast.

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: You've had some incredibly useful advice that you were sharing

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: on the show. So so before we get into your story,

79
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: which I call your way ta or your path Ya,

80
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: I ask a little icebreaker at the start of every show.

81
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: And you've become such a beloved TV star with your

82
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: own amazing show called Mister a Plus with guests like

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 1: Stephanie Beatrice from Brooklyn nine nine. So, as I mentioned,

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm fangirling you right now. You've become a global celebrity.

85
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: But you said in one of your interviews about wanting

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: to know how people are or who they are off

87
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: screen as well as who they are on screen.

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 3: Yes, so I thought i'd ask, what.

89
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Is the most down to earth thing about you, the

90
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: most normal thing that we wouldn't necessarily assume because you're

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: such a celebrity. But what's something that is just really

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: relatable about you?

93
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you some things about me. I absolutely

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: hate loud noises. Really yep.

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: What do you love other than Brooklyn nine nine obviously, Well.

96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: There's several other shows I love. There's news Radio, Thomas

97
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: the Tank Engine.

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: Of course, I heard about Thomas the Tank Engine. Also

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: loved Thomas the Tank.

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: Also Modern Family and The Good Place, and The Big Bang.

101
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: Theory Big Bang.

102
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: I also heard you have an idetic memory, so you're

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: basically Sheldon.

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say.

105
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: That that's incredible.

106
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: To be honest, I'm actually I have a photographic memory

107
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: with things that I'm passionate about, not about everything.

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: Your recall of episodes of Brooklyn nine nine and the

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: script is absolutely incredible. I've heard you do several impressions

110
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: of several characters. Who's your favorite character?

111
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: Probably Captain Holt and Kevin.

112
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: Right and Cheddar.

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody loves that dog. He's a great dog.

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: He's a great dog.

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: Oh. And also there's a few things about Amy.

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: Ooh, is Amy your ideal girl? Do you think that

117
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: you date Amy?

118
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Not exactly. She reminds me too much of a high

119
00:05:59,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: school student.

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: Yes, very highly strung and lots of facial expressions. I

121
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: think you and Stephanie were talking about her facial expressions.

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 2: Yep. And my mother has a very expressive face as well.

123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: You said, actually you said in that episode that she

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: reminds you of your mother.

125
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: And they also both have olive skin and Latin jeans

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: because Melissa Fameiro has a Cuban background while my mother

127
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: is half Italian.

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: Ah.

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: I love your mum. She was so great on the show.

130
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Does she have lots of fans as well?

131
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: Yes, because literally everyboy loves my mother.

132
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Ah, she's become I should get her on the podcast.

133
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: She sounds like the famous one, I suppose, but she

134
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: has obviously raised a beautiful human in you, mister A plus.

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things that happens often

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: when we meet someone through a TV show or through

137
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: a podcast is we often meet them at a chapter

138
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: in their lives where it seems like people woke up

139
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: knowing what they wanted to do or knowing what they're

140
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: passionate about. But everyone has gone through lots of different

141
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: chapters and diversions, often to.

142
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: Get to where they are.

143
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: So I like to go back to the very beginning,

144
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: as you said, to get to know who you are,

145
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: not what you do, but who you are and what

146
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: you love and what's given you that feeling of yeah,

147
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: your whole life. So can you take us back to

148
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: very young you what you were like as a child.

149
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: I have heard that you were diagnosed as autistic at five,

150
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: but you didn't find out until you were thirteen.

151
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: So can you tell us a bit about what your

152
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: childhood was like.

153
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: Well, in my primary school years, I was constantly off

154
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: in my own world, and I often sat alone at

155
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: school by choice because of slights being alone, and plus

156
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: I didn't have any social skills at the time, and

157
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: I was barely invited to things as well, compared to

158
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: the likes of my siblings as well, but also when

159
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: I got into my high school years, I became more worrisome.

160
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: As I got into high school and because there was

161
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: more work to do, and the maps was harder, and

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: the assignments and the exams, and because of the poor

163
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: levels of maturity of the other students, which I found annoying,

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: I just hated high school in general.

165
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: I think quite a lot of people find that if

166
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: they don't find that their particular type of intelligence or

167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: creativity is appreciated or recognize that, it's not a very

168
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: nice time of their lives.

169
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: And my mother didn't tell me that I had a

170
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: SPURGS until I was thirteen, because when I was in

171
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: primary school, I most likely would not have understood what

172
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: it was at the time because I was only a

173
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: kid back then, and again, I was always in my

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: own world. And I can't look back on that with

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: a degree of embarrassment.

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: What did it feel like for you when you did

177
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: understand what aspergers was? And also for those of our

178
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: listeners who don't know what aspergers is, can you explain

179
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: a bit about how that might manifest.

180
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Aspurgs is basically a moldiform of autism. It's a developmental

181
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: disorder affecting ability to effectively socialize and communicate. Some people

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: with Aspergers have these unique gifts of being able to

183
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: do puzzles extremely well, in less probably maybe in less

184
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: time than some people. And they have repetitive and restricted

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: interests by choice, as I did too. The only thing

186
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: is they just have social issues, but they just can't

187
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: help that.

188
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: Did you find once you found out that you had

189
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: asperges that it helped explain things to you? Was it

190
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: hard for you to process or was it a good

191
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: thing to find out?

192
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: Well, it didn't bother me much really, because my mother

193
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 2: explained it thoroughly enough, and I never really saw it

194
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: as a hindrance or a burden for that matter, just

195
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: something that I instantly came to terms with.

196
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: Right.

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I've heard you say a couple of times that, even

198
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: though autism and any of the conditions on the spectrum

199
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: can be quite misunderstood in broader society, I love that

200
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: you have always really seen it as a gift more

201
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: than a burden. Why do you see it as a gift?

202
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: Can explain what you mean by that?

203
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's just my personal perception of it. Because

204
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: I have a photographic memory, I'm able to remember scenes

205
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: from films or shows and lines almost instantly, and I'm

206
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: very knowledgeable about certain things aren't passionate about, like railways, animals,

207
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: and acting.

208
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: And France and Germany. I hear no England in Germany.

209
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: I hear that you're very knowledgeable about Well, I'm.

210
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Not exactly knowledgeable about it. I'm just passionate about the cultures, right.

211
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: It's because the thing is I've just never been interested

212
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: in history.

213
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: That's really interesting. But you find like the current culture

214
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: and the languages. Is that what you find interesting?

215
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't really find the past cultures. Well,

216
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: let's just say that there have been times where they

217
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: haven't been the best.

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: One thing I think you have become a really wonderful

219
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: role model for many people around the world now, is

220
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: teaching us to embrace our differences and what makes us

221
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: unique rather than trying to suppress those things. And I

222
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: think for a lot of our life we try and

223
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: fit in, so we try and be the same as

224
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: everyone else. What do you say to people who, whether

225
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: it's because of being on the spectrum or any other

226
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: reason why they might be different, that they're trying to

227
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: fit in during school or university, what advice would you

228
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: give to people about getting comfortable with who you are.

229
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: Let me just say I'm going to put this very bluntly.

230
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: God loves uniqueness. We're all destined to be unique, because

231
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: if we're all uniform, there's nothing interesting about it. And

232
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: if there's something about you that makes you stand out

233
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 2: from the rest of the crowd, accept it, embrace it.

234
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: And if those people can't accept you for who you

235
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: are or what you are, and they're obviously the wrong crowd.

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: Only the right crowd will accept you for who you

237
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: are and what you are, regardless of whatever differences you

238
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: guys have, because only true friends really accept you for

239
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: who you really are.

240
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: That's incredible advice. I feel like all of us need

241
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: to write that down and reflect on it every day.

242
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: And those people that can't even bring themselves to accept

243
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: you for who you are, that's their problem. They can just,

244
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: you know, take it with someone else.

245
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

246
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: So when did you first decide that you were passionate

247
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: about acting? I know that that's something that you aspire

248
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: to become and to work in. I find it really

249
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: interesting how we form our interests. When did you know

250
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: you wanted to get into entertainment or the media.

251
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: When I was a very little kid. I don't remember

252
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: what age, but I was extremely young back then.

253
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Did you have a role model? Was there someone who

254
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: was an actor that you wanted to become.

255
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Or be like. Nope, a lot of actors in general,

256
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: because they're all great. That's why with a lot of

257
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 2: my favorite shows, I don't exactly have the biggest highlight

258
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: of any cast because they're all great.

259
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: And so now that you've become a TV star, I

260
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: mean you're pretty much already there. How did the opportunity

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: for love on the Spectrum arise?

262
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: What made you say? Yes?

263
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: Well, let me put it this way. I'm with an

264
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: employment agency called at Work Australia. Norman Pictures contacted them

265
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: for your potential candidates. They recommended me, but also I

266
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: repeatedly called Norman Pictures because I was so eager to

267
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: get on the show. Well because I saw it as

268
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: a goal and opportunity to help me find a partner. Yes,

269
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: I didn't do this for fame and I only did

270
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 2: it as a chance to find a woman.

271
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: I heard that your biggest dream. I think it was

272
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: in the first episode when someone asked what's your dream?

273
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: What do you want to be when you grow up?

274
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: And you said a husband.

275
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Yep, that's still one of my goals. But I've also

276
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: got two more.

277
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: What are your other girls becoming?

278
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: An actor and also have in my own place.

279
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: Right.

280
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: Oh amazing. So back to the first goal, becoming a husband.

281
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned that one of the challenges with having Asperger's

282
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: is to be able to express yourself in social context

283
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: the way that you might like to and that that

284
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: had been hard when you were trying to find a

285
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: partner before the show. How did being on the show

286
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: change that? Did you learn a lot of things? You

287
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: got to chat to some amazing people.

288
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: It just basically gave me opportunities to meet you people,

289
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: and it made me led to me making friends outside

290
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: the show and also maybe decide the kind of things

291
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: I would like a woman.

292
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: What are those things?

293
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Well, she basically has to be a beautiful, loving woman

294
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: with a pure heart to come from a good family,

295
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: and she also has to handle being an actor's wife.

296
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: If she can't, that's kind of a deal breaker.

297
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: It is a deal breaker, right, And how do you?

298
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the world has fallen in

299
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: love with you because you were very smooth on some of.

300
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 3: Your dates that you went on the show.

301
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: What were some of your favorite memories from being on

302
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: the show.

303
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: Being Dawn Wells was the biggest highlight?

304
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I loved that episode. She signed your book, didn't she.

305
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: She did, yes, but that was actually a cookbook that

306
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: she published back in nineteen ninety three. Wow, I bought

307
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: it secondhand on eBay.

308
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: Really well, now you could sell it with her signature.

309
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Ah, that's not going to happen.

310
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: So some really cool things have happened to you since

311
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: being on the show, not only being out of practice dating,

312
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: but also you've been interviewed by Ellen, and only the

313
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: most famous people in the world get to go on Allen.

314
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: What was that like?

315
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: That was quite an honor. Even my mother was outside

316
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: my quarters this room, getting all excited like a fifteen

317
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: year old woman. Unsurprisingly, I was composed the whole time,

318
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: so composed. That's because I also want to make celebrities

319
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: be aware that there are some people in the world

320
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: that are already aware that that celebrities aren't gods. They're

321
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: just normal people like the rest of us. But if

322
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: I ever did encounter celebrity in the streets, instead of

323
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: asking for an autograph or a selfie, what I'd rather

324
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: do is preferably have a meal with them and get

325
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: to know them what they're like offscreen, absolutely, and not

326
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: ask them for any favors.

327
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: Yes.

328
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I think that's why you have such a great podcast,

329
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: Because you have I've been able to get a lot

330
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: of celebrities on the show, big famous celebrities, but you're

331
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: so interested in who they are. You don't go straight

332
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to the normal questions that they get. You have really

333
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: meaningful conversations and they relax. They sound like they relax

334
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: with you very quickly.

335
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: And what kind of questions normal questions? Did you mean?

336
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: I just think that it's beautiful that you know, you

337
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: made them really relaxed. Do you ask them about what

338
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: it was like behind the scenes. You didn't ask them

339
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: really gushy questions like what's it like being famous? Or

340
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, you seem very cool. Do you ever get nervous?

341
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: Nope? Really I just feel excited and on it.

342
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: What about before the TV show? Did you watch the show?

343
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: Did you watch yourself back?

344
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: Yes? I did, but it kind of felt weird because

345
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: it's kind of weird watching yourself on screen.

346
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: What did it feel like?

347
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: It was kind of cringing a lot because it was new. Yeah.

348
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: Did you feel better in season two? Were you more

349
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: familiar with watching yourself?

350
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: For?

351
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: Not really more familiar, but I sometimes tend to what

352
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 2: others think, because I'm sensitive to the feelings of others.

353
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: Yes, it stands out that you're very empathetic.

354
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when I'm around women, because they're extremely sentimental.

355
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: Why do you think you would make a great husband?

356
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: Because I don't drink, I don't gamble, I don't smoke,

357
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: I don't take drugs. I save my money, I use

358
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: it wisely, and because my father raised me to be

359
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: a gentleman, both my parents did, and because I have chivalry.

360
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: Apparently, yes, you do. What do you mean apparently? Have

361
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: people told you that?

362
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just rather be humble about it rather than

363
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: making it sound like it like it's boastful.

364
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I think you're very humble. Given that you have

365
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: fans from all over the world. The most recent episode

366
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: on your podcast, I heard there was a fan from

367
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Germany who wrote you a letter.

368
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wouldn't say wrote a letter. They just send

369
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: me an email.

370
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: Oh that's similar, Yeah it is, but the more modern way.

371
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

372
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 3: Right. What would you say is your ideal date.

373
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: Basically having a beautiful dinner somewhere fancy and go borom

374
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: dancing afterwards bom dancing, and then spend some alone time

375
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: together after that amazing.

376
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: Well, I've also heard, because you are so humble and

377
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: you are very chivalrous, that you tend to play down

378
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of your achievements as well. But I want

379
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: to hear what are some of the things you've been

380
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: able to achieve since the show?

381
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: Well has ellen, of course huge, and I've had fans

382
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: on Instagram messaging me saying they've wanted to send me gifts,

383
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: you know, crystals shirts. I know, it's.

384
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: So cool.

385
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: I kiss it.

386
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: And you're still in Wollongong.

387
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: Yep, still living in Wollongong.

388
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful part of the world. I love Wollongong.

389
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: I suppose it is, but I've also somewhat outgrown it

390
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: a bit.

391
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: Yes, well you are mister a plus.

392
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: Now whereabouts are you based in Melbourne? Oh? Melbourne, But I.

393
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: Come to Sydney. My best friend lives in Sydney and

394
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: every now and then we'll go for a little road trip,

395
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, into New South Wales. And I've spent some

396
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: time in Wollongong because it's such a beautiful part of

397
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: the world.

398
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: I didn't see you there, though, I was very disappointed.

399
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: When was this it was alone before the show, it

400
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: was a long time since I've.

401
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: Been I was a nobody back then.

402
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you were a nobody. How has it

403
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: changed you?

404
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: It's kind of exposed me a lot more in Australia

405
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: but also around the world, and now I've finally become

406
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: somebody that women want to take notice of.

407
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 3: They do. Do you like that?

408
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: Yes? But before the show, they most likely would not

409
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 2: have had any interest whatsoever.

410
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: For anyone who doesn't watch the show, I've recommended it

411
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: actually on this show as a source of ya for particularly,

412
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: we've had a bit of a hard few years and

413
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: you bring so much positivity and warmth and your show

414
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: brings a lot of joy and yay to people. But

415
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, why do you

416
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: think it's a really special show? Why do you think

417
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: it went so well around the world?

418
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: Mostly because it's very different to The Bachelor and Mardi First,

419
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: Silent Love, Islent all those shows. This show wasn't done

420
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: for drama. This was done authentically.

421
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I think personally I didn't necessarily understand the variety

422
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: and the diversity of how autism can manifest and how

423
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: differently it impacts people. But also I think humanized and

424
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: normalized people who aren't neurotypical and made the mainstream, you know,

425
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: the mainstream media kind of help us all understand. Are

426
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: there any ways that you think people misunderstood aspergers before

427
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: that they now understand better.

428
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: I'm not too sure. Actually, not really an expert on that.

429
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you an expert on? Then let's talk

430
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: about things that make you?

431
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: YEA, maybe Gilligan's Island.

432
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: I've heard that.

433
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: And you dressed up as someone from Gilligan's Island for

434
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Comic Con?

435
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: Is that right? That's called Super and Over? And I

436
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: was dressed as the skipper right as a tribute to

437
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: the to the actor who played in Rip, and also

438
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: because dorn Wells and that actor Alan Hale Jr. They

439
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: were very close in reality. And he reminded both me

440
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: and her of our dads.

441
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: What do your parents think about you being famous?

442
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: They're actually all cool with it? Are they?

443
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: Do they get stopped in the street? Like, oh, you're

444
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: Michael's parents.

445
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: Actually, my mother gets stopped on occasion, but I get

446
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: stopped more than they do. Right, my dad is more

447
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: of a private person. Okay, he's kind of camera shy

448
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: as well, is he? Yeah?

449
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: Do they share your love for Brooklyn ninety nine, and

450
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: do you guys watch this set?

451
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: Really?

452
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: So you do watch it by yourself?

453
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

454
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 3: Oh no.

455
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: And also I'm one of the few people in this

456
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 2: world that doesn't use streaming services. I'm one of the

457
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: few people that still uses a DVD player.

458
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: I heard that, Oh my gosh, and you're waiting what

459
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: was I listening to? You were waiting for something new

460
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: to come out on DVD. You hadn't watched the latest season,

461
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: and I think, Chelsea PERETTI couldn't believe that you still

462
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: have a DVD player.

463
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 2: Actually that was the eighth season I was waiting on.

464
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: But I finally but I've finally seen it.

465
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk Brooklyn nine nine because this is it's

466
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: my favorite show. Okay, what is your favorite episode?

467
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: I don't really have a favorite episode. A lot of

468
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: them are great.

469
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what do you think is the scene

470
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: you're the best at replicating? I want to see your

471
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: acting skills come out in this episode?

472
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: Please?

473
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: Okay. There was one called Return of the King, which

474
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: was directed by Melissa Fumero. If I do an impression

475
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: of Terry Jeffers, I'm not going to sound exactly like him,

476
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: because that could be taken the wrong way. Gina became

477
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: an internet celebrity and she hadn't spoken to anyone from

478
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: the Nine to nine in months, But Jake got a

479
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: call from her out of the blue, and Terry became

480
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: suspicious of her motives.

481
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: Ah, I remember this one when she.

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: Asked them they want to hang out a bar and

483
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: have drinks together. That night, Terry and Jake had a

484
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: conversation like this. Sorry, I gotta say I'm surprised Gina

485
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: invited us to drinks tonight. She obviously only invited us

486
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: over to a place because she needed a favor. Why

487
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: are you still so down on her? I've been through

488
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: this before. In college, I had a football buddy, Bryan Ungerbirt.

489
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: Let me guess you guys were best friends. Then he

490
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: got drafted into the NFL and now you never talk.

491
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: No.

492
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: He got drafted into the Canadian Football League, became a

493
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: long snapper for Ottawa and even that level success ruined

494
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: our friendship. He's still playing. How is that possible you're

495
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: thirty five to sixty years old. It's Canada. They don't

496
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: tackles hard and anyway, his career became the only thing

497
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: that mattered. He was offering photo shoots, commercials, speaking at

498
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: long snapping conventions? Is that a thing in Canada? Is

499
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: like the Oskers? Look, the point is he stopped making

500
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 2: time for his friends. Right, fine, but that's not what's

501
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: happening here. Nothing has changed of Genus. She's not an Ungerbert.

502
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: Did you do that whole thing without a script in

503
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: front of you?

504
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: Yep?

505
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 3: How do you remember that?

506
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: I just watched that scene a few times and it

507
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: just sinks in.

508
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: That is amazing.

509
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: But if you really want to see my acting skills,

510
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: I got to show what else I can do. I

511
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 2: er that film The Grinch with Jim Carrey. I sure

512
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: do mind if I do something like that, please do

513
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: it all right. I'm also gotta do one from a

514
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: Bug's Life as well, if I.

515
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 3: May, absolutely. Okay, Okay, I'm ready, Of course they are.

516
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about.

517
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 5: Is that's what it's always been about. Gifts, gifts, give

518
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: us the stuff diffs. You want to know what happens

519

Speaker 5: to your gifts? They all come to me in your garbage.

520
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:34,520

Speaker 6: But it's whole Christmas seasons, stupid stoop patch.

00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: There is, however, one deany tiny Christmas tradition I find

530
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: quite meaningful. Misshoot Now poker up and cut. Oh my gosh,

Speaker 3: How do you remember all of those lines?

545
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Like I said, watch it a few times and then

546
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: it sinks in.

547
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: You're going to make the most amazing actor because they

548
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: will won't even have to give you a script. They'll

549
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: just give it to you once, or they'll play it

550
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: to you once and then you'll just remember it.

551
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 2: I'm also able to improvise as well.

552
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: Really do you do improv classes or do you just

553
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: improvise by yourself?

554
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Not really by myself? And I just you remember when

555
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: I mentioned the bugs life? Yeah? Mind, If I do

556
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: an impression of Hopper, please do because I want to

557
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: show the audience what I can really also do as well. Absolutely,

558
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: they've always seen me as formal and professional, but I

559
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: want to show them what I can also do. But

560
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know that this monologue

561
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: will will sound very angry and probably pretty harsh.

562
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: Okay, mind, if I do it, I'd love to see it.

563
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 2: You let one an stand up to then they all

564
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: might stand up. Those puny little ants out number us

565
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 2: one hundred to one, and if they ever figure that out,

566
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: there goes our way of life. It's not about food,

567
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: It's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're

568
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: going back? Does anybody else want to stay? How was

569
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: that so good?

570
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: It's like you go into character and then your facial expressions,

571
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: the voice, the tone, everything changes. Yeah, just like that though,

572
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: and then you just come back out of it.

573
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: It's it's nothing.

574
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: It's amazing. Did you do classes like it?

575
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: To have you?

576
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: Always?

577
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: What?

578
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: No? But do this? Ever? Since I was a kid

579
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: really private at home, I know.

580
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: You just practiced. Is that how you? Because you're doing

581
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: different characters straight after each other.

582
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: Now I want to do another impression, and I want

583
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: you to tell me how harsh this one really is? Okay,

584
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: I want you to tell me. Okay, sure, leaves over,

585
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: get your sorry carcasses on board. Now how harsh was that?

586
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Oh? My god?

587
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: You should see the audio blowing out. That's how angry

588
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: it is. It's like, rah, it is, but in a

589
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: good way. Oh my gosh. So how did you start

590
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: doing these impressions? Did you just pick shows that you

591
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: liked and characters that you like and then.

592
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: Practice their voice?

593
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 2: Yeah? Of course.

594
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: How did it begin? Was it with Thomas the Tank?

595
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: Was that your first one?

596
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: Well? That was like one of the first shows I

597
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: started watching it when I was a kid. I was

598
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: three years old at the time, so three yeah, so

599
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: that's now twenty five years.

600
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: There was a new one though, wasn't There was there

601
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: a new Thomas Thomas and Friends that came out.

602
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: Actually that's the original show. Now there's a reboot, which

603
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: in my book is terrible.

604
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: Okay, you're a purist. Do you like the original versions?

605
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: Yes? Just like with Disney films, the remaining to say,

606
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: to capture the authenticity and the purity and the wholesomeness

607
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: of the originals.

608
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: Can I agree? I agree?

609
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: I am like original The Lion King, Aladdin, Little Mermaid,

610
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: all of those. I don't want the remake. I'm sure

611
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: they're great, but the original in two D with a

612
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, all the characters look like one pixel. I

613
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: don't care love.

614
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: It, although with the Disney films, are not really too

615
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: interested in The Little Mermaid.

616
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: What are your favorite Disney films?

617
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: Alison won Land one hundred and one Dalmatians. Oh, I

618
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: love that one. Who doesn't It's so good? Even The Beast, Aladdin,

619
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: The Lion King, Tangled, both Frozen films because I'm actually

620
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: quite a closet fan of them.

621
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: Frozen, I feel like is new generation, though it's recent,

622
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: isn't it.

623
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're in the closet about it. You don't

624
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: tell people.

625
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well sort of because it's not exactly something a

626
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: man would watch.

627
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: Do you know what, though, I feel like you've taught

628
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: me a lot about masculinity through watching the show.

629
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

630
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people around the world have

631
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: seen a real gentleman in you in a way that

632
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: they don't see on other dating shows, and it's very refreshing.

633
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: Thanks. And I also learned something as well. If a

634
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: man says to a woman, we'll talk about it later,

635
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: do you know what he actually means?

636
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 3: What does he mean?

637
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: That's more of a man's way of saying I don't

638
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: want to talk about it at all. Ever.

639
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: Again, I'm slowly learning that.

640
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 2: But also the other thing is a lot of some

641
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: men just can't be bothered putting in at least five

642
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: or ten minutes to listen to their permit to what

643
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: she has to say is probably important.

644
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, I think you would be a very good listener

645
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: as a partner, a very good listener. But she would

646
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: have to like Disney films, though.

647
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 2: Obviously not necessarily.

648
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Really, that's not a deal breaker, no is acting. She'd

649
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: have to be able to listen to your impressions.

650
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: Though, Well, if she doesn't like or appreciate my acting work,

651
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: that's kind of a turnoff.

652
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. If you could date a Disney princess,

653
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: who would you date?

654
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: Uh that's a bit of a tough one.

655
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: It's hard. They're all amazing, But.

656
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: Most likely I would probably choose Anna.

657
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: Really, yep, there you go.

658
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: I would have thought like Jasmine or Belle Belle so sweet?

659
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

660
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: Do you sing the songs or do you just do?

661
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: Do you do any Disney impressions?

662
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 2: Depends I well, depends on the characters. But I am

663
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: surprisingly able to do guests on.

664
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: I think, please do show.

665
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: But I don't share his views though.

666
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a good distinction. He's a bit of he's

667
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily very fuorous.

668
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: You're right, Okay, said this to Belle. Picture this a

669
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: rusty canning lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire,

670
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 2: my little wife massaging my feet. Well, the little ones

671
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: play on the floor with the dogs. We will have

672
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: six or seven. I remember that saying she thought he

673
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: meant dogs, but he was like, no bell strapping boys

674
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: like me.

675
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: That light was so good, it was Yes, I remember

676
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: that part of the movie so distinctly, and her face

677
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: is going when he goes and you can massage my feet,

678
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: and her face goes.

679
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: Oh, six or seven sons, Oh, i'ld hate that?

680
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 3: Would you like kids?

681
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: I've never really dreamed of being a father, but I

682
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: am kind of open to it.

683
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 3: But not six or seven. That's too many. Two is enough,

684
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 3: lovely neighborhood.

685
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: You might remember our incredible guest from episode one hundred

686
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: and fifteen, Blair James, who started out in a town

687
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: of just one thousand people, only to grow Bondi Sands

688
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: to over fifty products in a whopping thirty thousand retailers worldwide.

689
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: Since then, Bondi Sands has launched an incredible everyday skincare

690
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: range packed with Australian botanicals that has something for every

691
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: skin type, even the sensitive ones like mine. I love

692
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: an Aussi business, as you all know, especially one that

693
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: serves up that glow all within one hundred percent recyclable

694
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 1: post consumer packaging, and the range itself has options to cleanse, treat, hydrate,

695
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: protect and mask, with packaging colors and shapes to identify

696
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: each one. And there's a skincare quiz online to help

697
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: you choose what's right for you. My favorites are the

698
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: Golden Hour Brightening Vitamin C Serum, Bondai Babe purifying clay mask,

699
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: especially with all the travel and makeup at work at

700
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: the moment, and most importantly, there's Sunny Days hydrating SPF

701
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: fifty plus moisturizer. Suncare is so incredibly important for our

702
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: skin as we all know. I'll pop the link in

703
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: the show notes for you to check it out. So

704
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: for anyone else out there who is looking for love

705
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: and who maybe watched Love on the Spectrum and loved

706
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: watching you date and figure out what you love in

707
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: a partner and what you don't like in a partner,

708
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: do you have any advice on dating and finding love.

709
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: Well, don't give up. And if you have an opportunity

710
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: to meet somebody or go on a day with someone,

711
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 2: take it. See what they're like, test the waters, see

712
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 2: what they like as people. But don't be hasty enough

713
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: to rush into things. Just give people a chance and

714
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: just enjoy yourselves as well.

715
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: And what about people who have big goals like starting

716
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: a podcast or being an actor and maybe face some

717
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: obstacles of people either underestimating you because of ours spurgers

718
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: or I think a lot of us face barriers in

719
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: different way to our confidence. But you've obviously gone on

720
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: and even though one of the challenges for you has

721
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: been social skills, you've had some amazing conversations on your show.

722
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: Well with this, with the podcasting and acting thing. I

723
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: don't really have much advice because I didn't work for

724
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: ane of those things. They just came.

725
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: Well, you're very good at them.

726
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 2: Thanks.

727
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: Was it a goal to have a podcast?

728
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 2: No, it was really well, my agent asked me. Well,

729
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: she simply said to me that a lot of other

730
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: people wanted to get me on their podcast because of

731
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 2: Love and the Spectrum, and then she asked me, why

732
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: don't you have your own that I thought about it

733
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: for quite a few weeks, and so maybe I should.

734
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: I think you're very good at it, particularly since it

735
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: wasn't on the cards, like you didn't train for it

736
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: or prepare for it.

737
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 2: Well, the best thing about being a podcaster is just

738
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: interview your guests as casually but also with some formality

739
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: as well, and also make it a safe space where

740
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: they can feel comfort and that words are welcome.

741
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 3: That's excellent advice, but.

742
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: Also just be mindful of what you say on podcasts.

743
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it comes with some responsibility and also knowing that

744
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: the episodes will be online forever. Maybe you know you

745
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: do have to create a safe space for people.

746
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: And if you have producers that work with you on

747
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: the podcast, show them that you appreciate the hard work. Absolutely,

748
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 2: And because I'm not a one man crew.

749
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: There's a whole mister, A plus team, isn't there.

750
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it wasn't for them, the podcast would never

751
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: have been possible.

752
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: You said to Stephanie Beatrice, I think that you would

753
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: love to have the whole cast of Brooklyn nine nine

754
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: and Sophia Vegara on the show. Who's your dream guest list?

755
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: Well, I want to interview all the cast members of

756
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: my favorite shows, but also my dream male guest is

757
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: Mark Evan Jackson.

758
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 3: Who's that I heard of him?

759
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: Oh? For God's sake, why do some people not know

760
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: who he is?

761
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: Maybe if he went on your podcast, we would all

762
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: know who he is.

763
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this. You've seen Brooklyn, you've

764
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: seen Brooklyn nine nine. You know who Kevin Costner is,

765
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: then you should know who Mark Evan Jackson is.

766
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: Who is Mark Evin Jackson.

767
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 2: He plays Kevin Cosser for God's.

768
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: Sake, oh in nine nine. Yes, Oh, my gosh, of

769
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: course I know him. So he's he's your ultimate male

770
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: guest you'd love on the show.

771
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: Yes. In fact, he's one of my biggest inspirations for comedy. Wow,

772
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: because his voice is so dry, dead pan and flat.

773
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 3: Un Like my dad, he is very dead pan.

774
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: He's so funny when he speaks to Holt, Captain Holt, Raymond,

775
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: can you please do your impression?

776
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: I think you did it for me before.

777
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: Sure, Look Raymond a yellow christ support. Look.

778
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: Oh they're so funny. They're such a good couple.

779
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: Yes they are.

780
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: You also spoke to Stephanie a lot. She really opened

781
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: up to you about coming at as bisexual, and obviously

782
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: Raymond Holt and Kevin Costner.

783
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: Are a gay couple.

784
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: I think that's also a point of difference that people

785
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: are learning to celebrate rather than suppress. How do you

786
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: create a safe space for people on your show?

787
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: Well, I might have said this before, but I actually

788
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 2: support the LGBT community because they deserve rights, they deserve

789
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: to be treated equally, and it's not going to be

790
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: ashamed about. In fact, I'm actually friends with some people

791
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 2: that are part of that community.

792
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: Like Stephanie is a friend of yours. Now I think.

793
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: I would say so. In fact, I'm actually also feel

794
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: a fan of Encanto.

795
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 3: Yes, she did the voice, didn't she for one of

796
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: the main character.

797
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: Yep, she did.

798
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 4: That's so cool.

799
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: In fact, not only does she have a Colombian background,

800
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: but also Sophia Viagara does. Of course, her character on

801
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: Modern Family always reminds me of my mother.

802
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, oh my gosh.

803
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: You should imagine if you could get her on the podcast,

804
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: what would you ask her?

805
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: Pretty much Rea sent all the questions to what I

806
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: asked my guests, but also take that opportunity to introduce

807
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 2: her to my mother.

808
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 3: Right, do you think they get along?

809
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: Yep? Then I would say to my mother, now I

810
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 2: can finally put my case to sleep.

811
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 3: Yes.

812
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: Well, as you know the name of this podcast is

813
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: the which is a play on Caesar Day. So sort

814
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: of swapping, yeah, swapping the normal metrics that a lot

815
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: of people measure their lives on, like success or money

816
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: or milestones and goals, which are important. But I think

817
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: joy and fulfillment and whether you're happy and healthy and

818
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: have loved ones around you is much more important in life.

819
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, but money is also important because money

820
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: is a tool. Money is what we need to pay bills,

821
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: put food on the table, and afford things that we

822
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: need and also want for personal pleasure. Money doesn't buy everything.

823
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: It just buys the things that we need need to afford.

824
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 2: Money is just a tool. That's it.

825
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: That's so true. It's not your value.

826
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: It's not a reflection of your worth or and it's

827
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: also not It doesn't equal happiness. I think some people

828
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: think it will bring them joy on its own.

829
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: For rich men, money means power, But for someone like myself,

830
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: money means security and thus securing my chances of settling

831
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 2: down with a woman.

832
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and finding your person.

833
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: Exactly, because if I don't have money, how am I

834
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: supposed to provide for my wife, let alone kids.

835
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: And especially if there's six or seven.

836
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be a terrible provider, not to mention a

837
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 2: crap husband and also a crap father.

838
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: You will be a wonderful husband and a wonderful father. Well,

839
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: I think you would.

840
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 2: Because if I'm ever going to be a father, I

841
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: want the best for my kids like my father did. Yeah.

842
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: So I think one thing that because money is a

843
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: bit of a distraction. I think it distracts people in

844
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: society quite a bit.

845
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: It does.

846
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 3: What advice do you have?

847
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: You're very clear on what you're passionate about and what

848
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: brings you yay. A lot of people don't know what

849
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: makes them happy. They're so distracted that they don't even

850
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: know what they like and they can't find their passion

851
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: and they're unhappy in their job. And you know, this

852
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: podcast for me is having conversations with people who know

853
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: what makes them yay and how they got there to

854
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: inspire others. What advice do you have? How do you

855
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: find what makes you passionate? How do you make time

856
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: for your hobbies and what makes you passionate?

857
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: Let me put it this way, you can't prioritize your

858
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 2: work life. You need to have a work life balance.

859
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: Another important thing is you still need to make time

860
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: for your family and friends even when you are busy,

861
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 2: because family and friendships are both important, but also rent

862
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 2: these days is ridiculously expensive. And look at me. I'm

863
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: twenty eight now and I still live in my parents

864
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: even though it makes me feel like I'm still behind

865
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: in life, but people around me have told me that

866
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 2: it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

867
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely not.

868
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: And if you want to know what you're passionate about,

869
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: just search your heart and see what you love to

870
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: do and what you love.

871
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 3: That's amazing advice.

872
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: For example, if you're to give a speech at a wedding,

873
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: don't write a rehearse speech. Just search your heart and

874
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 2: say what you're feeling.

875
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you touched on feeling behind, and I

876
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: think that also distracts people a lot from joy because

877
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: they feel like they've got to hustle all the time

878
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: and never rest and never make time for happiness.

879
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: But that's a ridiculous way to live, isn't it. Life

880
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: is not a race. Life is a journey. Life is

881
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 2: like a book. Chapters are like years, pages are like months,

882
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: and paragraphs are like days in a week.

883
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 3: That's such a beautiful analogy. I've never heard anyone say that.

884
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: And a sentence in a paragraph is like maybe an

885
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 2: hour of a day.

886
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 3: Oh, that was beautiful, Michael.

887
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: People should start looking at life is like a book.

888
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, I'm so grateful for your time. That was

889
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: the most beautiful quote to end on. I usually ask

890
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: people for their favorite quote, but I feel like that

891
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: was a beautiful quote. Your own quote was more beautiful

892
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: than any quote than you could pick.

893
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: Thank you.

894
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: Is there anything you would like to leave the audience

895
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: with about seizing your yea or finding your joy?

896
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 2: All I can say is don't always put work first

897
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 2: time for your family and friends even when you are busy,

898
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: because that's what I do. And make time for yourself

899
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: as well. You can't spend your whole life being a

900
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: people pleaser because it's just not possible. And in the

901
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: world of dating, when you get yourself the best catch,

902
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 2: do not throw him or her back. Cherish your partner,

903
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: show them every day how much you love and care

904
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: for them. Don't tell them, show them, whether it's making

905
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 2: them a meal, or taking them out somewhere, or giving

906
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: them a gift of some sort anything. And in life,

907
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: always stay safe, take care of yourself and always stay

908
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: true to yourself as well. Don't try to be something

909
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: or not, but also chase your dreams if you have them.

910
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: Don't let anyone stand between you and your destiny. And

911
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: also very importantly, live life to the fullest the best

912
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 2: you can. Amazing, but working in hustling all the time

913
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: is not going to cut it.

914
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: You're right well that was just a beautiful way to end.

915
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: I think everyone should watch Love on the Spectrum if

916
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: they haven't or listened to mister A Plus. I'll make

917
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: sure to put the links to your podcast in the

918
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: show notes. Is there anything else coming up that we

919
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: should look out for from you? Or just follow the

920
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: podcast and see what.

921
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 3: You're up to.

922
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: Well, just keep following the podcast because there'll be episodes

923
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 2: released every week, no question, no doubt. And I'm still

924
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 2: pursuing acting as a career. That's one of my biggest

925
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: goals for this year. And there is something going on

926
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 2: in the pipeline, but I can't really reveal too much

927
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: at the moment.

928
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 3: Well, that's exciting.

929
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: But in the very near future, I do intend to

930
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: visit England.

931
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 3: England that you're obsessed with.

932
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh my gosh, how exciting have you been before?

933
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: Uh?

934
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 4: No, oh, it's amazing.

935
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: My mum is the same as you, obsessed with England,

936
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: Obsessed everything English. She goes once a year. She saves

937
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: all her money to be in England once a year,

938
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: and she just it's like in another life she lived

939
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: there or something. She just feels at home there. She

940
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: loves the culture, the history, the Royals. She loves the

941
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: Royal family. We have English tea, we have everything is English.

942
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 3: She's obsessed. So I hope you have the most amazing time.

943
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sarah, and hopefully i'll meet a woman there.

944
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 4: Imagine a British wife for you.

945
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 2: Yep, an English rose An English.

946
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:41,200
