Speaker 1: They're definitely Servo Sunny's.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm good. We just had a breakfast, a really
Speaker 2: fun breakfast this morning.
Speaker 1: So we had a lovely yay Field morning with one
Speaker 1: of our regular guests. Now, Doctor Brandy, who is the
Speaker 1: incredible doctor for the Matildas who are in Melbourne to play,
Speaker 1: was Pekistan tonight and she has I mean, if you
Speaker 1: guys have listened to part one and part two, we've
Speaker 1: also planned part three and four around the Olympics, which
Speaker 1: will be very exciting. Oh yes, but if you've listened
Speaker 1: to those episodes, you know she has no spare time.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how we got a breakfast with her,
Speaker 1: but we had the best morning.
Speaker 2: Yes, fin speaking of is anyone going to the game tonight?
Speaker 1: Anyone going? I feel like there are lots of Tilly's
Speaker 1: Fever is happening in Melbourne City. We were in the
Speaker 1: city this morning.
Speaker 2: Well, it sold out, like I went, I hadn't. Finally,
Speaker 2: I've watched every single game but not gotten a jersey
Speaker 2: because when during fever, it just sold out super quickly.
Speaker 2: And then I just like in the in the that meantime,
Speaker 2: didn't really need one. So I went to get one
Speaker 2: this morning, and probably like every other person that didn't
Speaker 2: have one, everyone was in the city getting the same thing,
Speaker 2: like dads, moms, kids, travelers. They had to sell it
Speaker 2: from behind the desk that Tilly's jerseys because they were
Speaker 2: just so popular. Again. Oh, it was like it's so
Speaker 2: great and it's sold out tonight.
Speaker 1: It's so wholesome, so it'd be really fun. I also
Speaker 1: feel like I did a post the other day I
Speaker 1: would not post, but a story about how, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Dr Brand Doctor Brandy has logged into.
Speaker 2: The chat and said I'm going.
Speaker 1: We thought you might be there, guys, we love her
Speaker 1: so much, And we were sitting at Hardware Society and
Speaker 1: there was this massive queue forming outside and we were like,
Speaker 1: this is definitely for doctor Brandy to sign.
Speaker 2: It actually was like we came out and like paparazzi. No, seriously,
Speaker 2: there was like a hundred of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then someone even came up to our table.
Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, so it was Nick, Nick from upstairs.
Speaker 1: Nick from upstairs, thanks for joining. We did already have
Speaker 1: one question is for the people who are listening at
Speaker 1: home later this is going to be so unhinged because
Speaker 1: we did not plan the structure of so many questions.
Speaker 1: But Foodie g asked what we had for breakfast, So
Speaker 1: we were at Hardware Society.
Speaker 2: Tell us a lot about a person, it.
Speaker 1: Does, but it's not your normal breakfast menu. So we
Speaker 1: went to Hardware Society, who were one of our very
Speaker 1: first stockers of Match a Maiden when we had the
Speaker 1: Match of Business. The most beautiful couple Diane Will who
Speaker 1: are Aussie's but moved to Paris and then brought the
Speaker 1: Parisian breakfasts back home to Australia and have had this cafe.
Speaker 1: It's like the longest standing hospitality institution in Melbourne and
Speaker 1: we took We went with Doctor Brandy this morning and
Speaker 1: had what do you learn Islam?
Speaker 2: Because Dr Brannie and Nigga having their own conversation in
Speaker 2: the chat chat, Nick said, long time listening my first
Speaker 2: time call. Dr Brannie just said voice saying.
Speaker 1: So the menu is very French, very gourmet, so delicious.
Speaker 1: What did you have?
Speaker 2: I had? Well, okay, so sometimes I do have breakfast
Speaker 2: on ordering anxiety because.
Speaker 1: Because spouse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, because often I don't know what I want.
Speaker 2: And sometimes i'm really really basic breakfast eater, Like I
Speaker 2: used to be really like fancy brunches, but now I'm
Speaker 2: seriously like.
Speaker 1: When you had the green counter when you're a food blogger. Guys,
Speaker 1: do you remember when Andrew was a food blogger?
Speaker 2: Anyway? And and then so I ordered a very basic
Speaker 2: scrambled eggs on toast, which I thought was basic but
Speaker 2: was not what it was actually really delicious. Came with
Speaker 2: corn bread.
Speaker 1: The corn bread was really yummy.
Speaker 2: I have corn in the bread as well. Actually wait,
Speaker 2: there's corn in the corn bread. Stop And it was Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was actually really delicious. It came with two slices
Speaker 2: of tritza, which I didn't realize chirrizzo.
Speaker 1: What was it? Cherisozza?
Speaker 2: No, it surely is churizzo.
Speaker 1: Guys, First, this yea or that yea for the day
Speaker 1: is it cheriso or charrizzo? And also another question for
Speaker 1: this year or that yea is we're talking about this

Speaker 2: Do you say, and it's just now having our own conversation.
Speaker 2: It's been great, guys, but I have to do some

Speaker 1: Is it Cheriza or Chirizzo? Second, do you you say
Speaker 1: I Beeza or I Betha? And if you say I
Speaker 1: Beetha because you're cultured, do you say Bartholona or Barcelona?
Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of people say I Betha,
Speaker 1: but they say Barcelona, which is not consistent.
Speaker 2: It's I've only ever calledizzozzo.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, guys, vote vote now or hold on?
Speaker 2: Oh I agree with Sarah.
Speaker 1: Shanney agrees with me. Okay, Shanny, whatsfications do you bring
Speaker 1: to the table? Sarah is right, surely, thank you, Alice.
Speaker 2: Surely doesn't sound very promising.
Speaker 1: It's not the confidence we would like. Okay, hold on?
Speaker 2: What else?
Speaker 1: Good timing? Oh my god, we need to stop pausing.
Speaker 2: Great, I'm like it's so far away that I'm like
Speaker 2: trying to squinch. Okay, well, and the fourth question is
Speaker 2: how do you spell breki?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah? Is it b r e kk y b
Speaker 1: r e k k i e or b r e.
Speaker 2: A k y or b r e a k i e.
Speaker 1: So this week's this ya or that yeah is actually
Speaker 1: multiple truths.
Speaker 2: We should never have done this, We will.
Speaker 1: This, okay, So get your votes in for those this
Speaker 1: year that ye are questions. In the meantime, there's a
Speaker 1: question from the founder edit. We'd love to know how
Speaker 1: you have known a new life season is coming and
Speaker 1: what what to do to gain clarity on what that
Speaker 1: looks like. Great question, and I actually talk about this
Speaker 1: often when I'm not unhinged with you. It's about how
Speaker 1: you know when a new life chapter or a new
Speaker 1: Live season is coming, right, yes, yes, yes, And we
Speaker 1: talk about this often actually because both you and I
Speaker 1: have big, definable chapters in our lives and careers. But
Speaker 1: it is really hard to know when you're on the
Speaker 1: cusp of a new one. And I think it's when
Speaker 1: you start to get fidgety. It's when you start to
Speaker 1: get discomfort or too much comfort around what you're doing
Speaker 1: and start you and I get we call it itchy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We'll start to and you'll know because one of us
Speaker 1: will plant the seat and go, so what do you
Speaker 1: think about? Like Andrew randomly be like, so what if
Speaker 1: I did like a PhD, I'm like, moved to Afghanistan. Like,
Speaker 1: you'll just suddenly be sure ideas and things that aren't
Speaker 1: related to what you're doing. And it doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 1: that you want to do those things, but it's a
Speaker 1: sign that you're itchy to do something else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the thing that you taught me was the
Speaker 2: sign that's the first sign of feeling that you might
Speaker 2: need to change, and the sign of when you should
Speaker 2: start actioning the change is if in two months time
Speaker 2: you still feel the same way.
Speaker 1: Yes, So we do that. We'll check in with each
Speaker 1: other and you'll go through phases where you'll go, I
Speaker 1: want to move states, or I want to move and
Speaker 1: start a whole new career, and then if you steal
Speaker 1: a talk to me about it a couple of months later,
Speaker 1: we'll no, it's time for a change. And if you aren't,
Speaker 1: then it was just like a phase where you had
Speaker 1: a week where it wasn't necessarily a big life change
Speaker 1: like a new season, but it was just a moment
Speaker 1: of agitation, but it is really hard to know. I'm
Speaker 1: also circling back to Sharni. You said what her qualifications
Speaker 1: about Chreizo. She's a dietician, so she wins.
Speaker 2: Shany but are you Spanish?
Speaker 1: Nico also said it's pronounced.
Speaker 2: We have just said a link to that.
Speaker 1: So in the show notes, which we keep saying, we'll
Speaker 1: put stuff in, and every week I forget to put things.
Speaker 1: I don't know show notes exist, so it's for me
Speaker 1: to say I'll put something in there later, which I
Speaker 1: never do. But there's this pronunciation channel on YouTube where
Speaker 1: it's just this guy pronounced doing proper formal pronunciation videos,
Speaker 1: but he says them completely wrong, and if you were
Speaker 1: not an English speaker, you would have no idea to
Speaker 1: me that it was like a total fath But so
Speaker 1: people like how to pronounce for heater? Until we go
Speaker 1: it all spelled, like the word for heater will be
Speaker 1: up on the screen. The all of the text in
Speaker 1: the video and the meta text and description is all
Speaker 1: about for heaters. And in this dead serious voice, he'll.
Speaker 2: Go fatty chatty daddy, jaddy daddy.
Speaker 1: Like you fast slow fast, Oh my god, it's so funny. Okay, oh,
Speaker 1: Shannie again. This is such wholesome content, all of life's
Speaker 1: big questions, right, well, right, we're just here for the
Speaker 1: joy as usual.
Speaker 2: Quite chaotic. But you didn't actually finish what you ordered
Speaker 2: for breakfast?
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't. Sorry, guys. This is why we don't
Speaker 1: go live normally, because we can't stick to an agenda anyway.
Speaker 1: And it's so on the table of content.
Speaker 2: So I had baked eggs.
Speaker 1: Which is a very traditional French dish, and it was,
Speaker 1: of course because I'm pregnant, I had to have the
Speaker 1: eggs hard potions that have soft in like what they
Speaker 1: call a cocotte, which is like the little sort of
Speaker 1: mini croc pot thing that they bake it in and
Speaker 1: then you eat it straight out of it. And I
Speaker 1: had like this beautiful aoli with like these big broad beans.
Speaker 1: It was this amazing delicious mix of pesto. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it was more fancy. I'm like, you wear a bit
Speaker 1: basic with our breakfast. Normally, I'm normally like AVO eggs,
Speaker 1: mushies or AVO eggs butter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like like not even dressing, just.
Speaker 1: No straight out yeah eggs breash. But we went fancy
Speaker 1: this morning and it was absolutely delicious and die and
Speaker 1: will do an amazing It was breakfast we did.
Speaker 2: Say in the car it was actually quite delicious. And
Speaker 2: doctor Brandie had a fla souflation in my life.
Speaker 1: Also, someone else said, I'm right, a quick google check
Speaker 1: of chorizo has my pronunciation is right, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And I'm but was it the guy for in the
Speaker 1: pronunciation channel? Guys, I'm just when they say what would
Speaker 1: he say? What would the guy the pronunciation channel say.
Speaker 2: Chap.
Speaker 1: There is a flaff floor.
Speaker 2: No, no, you can't even say the word and it
Speaker 2: just goes like ching chong. It's not what he would say.
Speaker 1: Okay, we've got one vote for Brecky, double k I
Speaker 1: e another vote for double k Y and Foot joined
Speaker 1: her own chat.
Speaker 2: Well because I need to see the questions so far.
Speaker 1: Away Okay, I can't read that one. Why didn't you?
Speaker 1: Can you manage to the questions.
Speaker 2: That's very great that you are not locked in by
Speaker 2: emotion and financial fear to move and change, if that
Speaker 2: makes sense.
Speaker 1: Amazing point coming back to sit we're really straddling serious
Speaker 1: and absolutely not trivial, and but I think we do
Speaker 1: get very locked in by emotion and not financial fear.
Speaker 1: So much as the financial implications of a big change,
Speaker 1: and I have definitely if you guys have been listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast for a while, you will have heard
Speaker 1: me evolve from very much feel the fear and do
Speaker 1: it anyway and take a leap and what's the worst
Speaker 1: that could happen to Absolutely still don't be controlled by
Speaker 1: fear and self doubt, but still make decisions within the
Speaker 1: parameters of your financial obligations. Because at the time when
Speaker 1: I left law and started match Mate and I had
Speaker 1: no kids, no dependents, no mortgage, I was early in
Speaker 1: my career, I had good savings, I had a partner
Speaker 1: who had a stable job. Like, those considerations all matter,
Speaker 1: and the reality is everyone has bills to pay and
Speaker 1: financial obligations that form the matrix in which you make
Speaker 1: decisions and decide to take risks. So definitely I've changed
Speaker 1: from rip the band aid and lean into the fear.
Speaker 1: I still would say that, but I would say in
Speaker 1: the timing that suits all the other things that you
Speaker 1: have going on in your life, because your risk matrix
Speaker 1: is going to be very different to someone else's. And
Speaker 1: we will at length sit and work through not just
Speaker 1: the physical implications of a decision or a life change together,
Speaker 1: But will mind map out what does that mean for
Speaker 1: your money? What does that mean for your bills? What
Speaker 1: does that mean for like the stress that you might
Speaker 1: put on like the next you know, will it cripple
Speaker 1: you so much financially that you can't enjoy the change
Speaker 1: or I think that comes into our decision making a lot,
Speaker 1: even though we don't talk about it, maybe as.
Speaker 2: Much we do with each other. Yeah, we do with
Speaker 2: each other significantly because I feel like we're in a
Speaker 2: constant state of I know you said at once in
Speaker 2: that we our greatest burden is feeling like we can
Speaker 2: do we can do everything, because then we do feel
Speaker 2: like we can do everything, and then we have this
Speaker 2: constant thing of like, Okay, can we do something now
Speaker 2: that's not what we're doing currently. Even then what we're
Speaker 2: currently doing is so great. But Yeah, we both of
Speaker 2: us chat a lot about like we go quite deep
Speaker 2: in the financial side of now because you've got a mortgage,
Speaker 2: I do, You've also and you're now also starting a
Speaker 2: family that what implications a career change or something may
Speaker 2: because but it's never been a barrier. Is something that
Speaker 2: we've held each other true too, because I remember last
Speaker 2: time when I was like, should go for this job?
Speaker 2: It's the salary? Is this weich is significantly more? And
Speaker 2: you were like, I just never knew you as someone
Speaker 2: to care about to be driven by money. And I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, it's good. That was a nice wake
Speaker 2: up cal I was like, yeah, you're beyond the salary.
Speaker 2: What of this job do you actually want to do?
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, it's mainly the salary, and
Speaker 2: you're like, well, I feel like you can make that
Speaker 2: salary in a way that you in ways that you
Speaker 2: want to. I supposed to feel like you need to
Speaker 2: like go into this justice, this like corporate and change
Speaker 2: your whole life for this one job. So many considerations,
Speaker 2: but I think we also both know we're in a
Speaker 2: really privileged position from a financial standpoint. Yeah, like we're
Speaker 2: not like so so rich, but we're also like we
Speaker 2: are in we're privileged.
Speaker 1: And we don't have five children and big commitments that
Speaker 1: make it hard. But it's interesting that even though you,
Speaker 1: of course we still talked about the salary when you
Speaker 1: had that opportunity and what it could allow you, and
Speaker 1: we weren't sort of flippant about the monetary gain you
Speaker 1: could get. It was just that I've never known you
Speaker 1: to put that first, you like, in your pros and
Speaker 1: cons list. The salary was like the first thing, and
Speaker 1: all the other things like learning, development, interest fulfillment well later.
Speaker 1: And it was unusual because that's not usually how you
Speaker 1: make decisions.
Speaker 2: And then it didn't eventuate for that reason.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, Yeah, and I think, yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's definitely a big consideration, but we just keep ourselves
Speaker 1: in line of like where should it sit in all
Speaker 1: the different things that you think about. We had another
Speaker 1: question that was similar about life changes. So Rosie said,
Speaker 1: I have a big change coming, which guys, is so weird.
Speaker 1: It's I'm thirty five weeks pregnant. Like, thirty five weeks.
Speaker 2: Doesn't look at what well you can see from me,
Speaker 2: but I do.
Speaker 1: I keep bumping into that.
Speaker 2: Average day.
Speaker 1: But what's something you're both really excited for this year
Speaker 1: outside of work? Great question, And it's really probably really
Speaker 1: hard for me to separate that from the pregnancy, even
Speaker 1: though I don't want to like that to be my
Speaker 1: entire personality. But I think my biggest excitement is that
Speaker 1: we're starting a family and we get to meet our
Speaker 1: little boy. And a couple of days ago we had
Speaker 1: our We not only had the most beautiful baby shower,
Speaker 1: but two days later we also had our last morphology scan,
Speaker 1: which is the three D one where you get a
Speaker 1: full tour of all their measurements and everything, but you
Speaker 1: see the three D version of their face. And we've
Speaker 1: only seen one of them like maybe a month ago
Speaker 1: or maybe six weeks ago, and you could see quite
Speaker 1: a lot of his features. But now he's like a
Speaker 1: fully baked child. And you could see him sucking the
Speaker 1: back of his hand with his little nose, and it
Speaker 1: was so clear the detail, and I was just like,
Speaker 1: that's my son. Come to meet him.
Speaker 2: He's like a real human. He looks like me.
Speaker 1: He has Andrew's nose, he has my nose.
Speaker 2: So now we're like, are we the first same sex
Speaker 2: couple to have by osmosis biosmosis have a child?
Speaker 1: Like literally, I was like, that's Andrew's nose.
Speaker 2: Who knows who? Maybe you've got to believe you've got
Speaker 2: a map.
Speaker 1: But it was so surreal to be like, especially as
Speaker 1: you guys know, we had a pregnancy lost early last year.
Speaker 1: It's so strange to be at the stage now where
Speaker 1: it's he would survive outside the womb if he arrived. Now,
Speaker 1: like we're in a quite a safe It wouldn't be ideal,
Speaker 1: but like we're in quite as safe zonned so to
Speaker 1: be so close to actually getting to meet him and
Speaker 1: experience parenthood, Like my biggest excitement for something outside of
Speaker 1: work is the journey of motherhood and how much how
Speaker 1: little I have any certainty around what they could possibly like,
Speaker 1: the emotions I have now, I can't even imagine when
Speaker 1: he actually arrives what that will feel like.
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like your pointnance is also my this
Speaker 2: year excitement, which is but so Sarah is d like
Speaker 2: early April, and my high school best friend is due
Speaker 2: first week of May, so within four weeks. So I
Speaker 2: have two newborns in my life, neither of rich of mine,
Speaker 2: but both of.
Speaker 1: Which which could be osmosis.
Speaker 2: So I've got two newborns, which is so exciting. My
Speaker 2: sister's wedding is going to be in Vietnam in like
Speaker 2: three weeks. Gone to tulip season again, which is really
Speaker 2: fun for work. Then me and my partner going to Ularu.
Speaker 2: So we just really banked up the trouble this year.
Speaker 2: But I do think that I know you and Sarah
Speaker 2: has been like, oh with the baby nothing because we
Speaker 2: you just were like should we do a baby's business
Speaker 2: or brand or something, and you have now been like no,
Speaker 2: I think I'm happy to just let it be and
Speaker 2: whatever comes comes, which is kind of a dangerous thing
Speaker 2: for you though, because I feel like the more time
Speaker 2: you get to not focus on a goal, like, the
Speaker 2: more creative you get, and then it's like boom, here's the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the minute I'm like, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1: So I truly think there's one I truly think you have.
Speaker 2: The baby and then it be oh, this is an
Speaker 2: idea and then it come to life pretty quickly. But
Speaker 2: also it's very hard with you though, because last year
Speaker 2: you wouldn't or two years ago you wouldn't be like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm presenting I'm doing radio on Sundays now with Hou's well,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be on teeth like you just I
Speaker 2: just never know what's going to come up with you,
Speaker 2: and it's never what I would have thought or imagined.
Speaker 1: So it's very.
Speaker 2: Hard, like for why, I know you could be a
Speaker 2: mid midwife next year.
Speaker 1: Although so one of my fidgety things was I think
Speaker 1: I just want to go back and study medicine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, You're just feel like I've missed
Speaker 1: like science, like.
Speaker 2: The science that you never did cause Davidson and I
Speaker 2: think that was the ghost.
Speaker 1: Oh it was the ghost. Never mind. Yeah, I do
Speaker 1: my FIDGITI thing a couple of years ago was I
Speaker 1: was missing study because I get to flex my creative
Speaker 1: muscles so much now, but in leaving my legal career,
Speaker 1: that like intense academic mental stimulation was like a jigsaw
Speaker 1: puzzle piece that I was missing for a little while.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I really thought that I wanted to do medicine,
Speaker 1: but not to become a doctor, just for the study.
Speaker 1: And you were like, you are cooked.
Speaker 2: So you've probably be really think about that.
Speaker 1: Then I thought it would be my Matt Leaf projects,
Speaker 1: and now I'm like, oh, that's kind of now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like Yanni Pittman.
Speaker 1: I know, another one of our favorite high achieving does
Speaker 1: amazing random chapters that come out of nowhere. But it
Speaker 1: is also really interesting that every time, like you said,
Speaker 1: my big changes often come when I've stopped thinking, like,
Speaker 1: I don't plan them, I don't sit. I like to
Speaker 1: make tangible goals, but I also like to stay really
Speaker 1: open to what a tangible goal that might come into
Speaker 1: my sort of pervy by accident. And it's always when
Speaker 1: I've taken a holiday or take the foot off the
Speaker 1: brakes for work a little bit, to have a baby.
Speaker 1: I feel like I will be surprised that ideas will
Speaker 1: be free flowing just when I've decided not to have them,
Speaker 1: If that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be very on brand for you to have
Speaker 2: that happen and have it turn around very quickly.
Speaker 1: Someone asked a little while ago, Helena or Helena, you
Speaker 1: two are so joyful. What is something completely random that
Speaker 1: brings you joy? So we were telling doctor Brandy about
Speaker 1: this this morning, that one of them is spontaneity and
Speaker 1: doing things we've never done before.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're all very random, and we I feel
Speaker 2: like it's really easy to get to a point in
Speaker 2: life or in age or whatever where you're like we're
Speaker 2: past that now, Like we don't do that anymore. We
Speaker 2: don't have time. But we really prioritize if if I
Speaker 2: say this here, you need to book out this day.
Speaker 2: There's no questions asked. Usually it's a round a birthday period.
Speaker 2: But because we don't do it often we're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll block it out and then like Sarah will block
Speaker 2: out the whole day. I'll be liked, there needs to
Speaker 2: be a half day or whatever. And how we normally
Speaker 2: the only thing you know is like apparel. Yeah, the
Speaker 2: only thing you allowed to know is apparel. And then
Speaker 2: the rest is like the trans even like everything's organized,
Speaker 2: like I'll pick you up and the rest will be
Speaker 2: whatever comes that day you just have to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're reminiscing on all the random things that
Speaker 2: we've done. But it does bring like because it's like,
Speaker 2: so last year we went tough thing, I still haven't
Speaker 2: picked it up. By the way. Then we've done surrummings,
Speaker 2: we've done adult gymnastics. Mum's calling.
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, that was Mama Holloway just calling me, and
Speaker 1: I forgot to put my phone on. Do not just
Speaker 1: a rookie? Oh I love her.
Speaker 2: I think that brings us joy and also for you also,
Speaker 2: I think we've got two questions in two comments.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Facebook, how do I see the Facebook? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm so inadequate in this situation.
Speaker 2: The other thing I realized for you brings you joy
Speaker 2: is Nick and said, I do this crazy thing where
Speaker 2: instead of just scrolling TikTok the YouTube, they YouTube search
Speaker 2: every night like TikTok compilations of funny videos and they
Speaker 2: watch that for like an hour and they just.
Speaker 1: Laugh, laugh, just for joy. And like we also do
Speaker 1: this thing called curate where Nick will curate or through
Speaker 1: the day his favorite memes that he thinks and he'll
Speaker 1: put them in order as well of what he thinks
Speaker 1: would make me laugh at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and then I'm not allowed to watch them during the day.
Speaker 1: I have to watch them like with him, so he
Speaker 1: can witness my joy through and it's actually so cute.
Speaker 1: At the end of every day there's like a little
Speaker 1: curated feed for me. But yeah, I think both those
Speaker 1: are really nice because they're so pointless to our you know,
Speaker 1: careers or development and like you know, everyone's like you
Speaker 1: need to get off your devices and not scroll so much,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, but it's all for joy, and
Speaker 1: it's all really light hearted and wholesome. And with our
Speaker 1: activities together, what I love is that like you don't
Speaker 1: ever have to do that activity again. And it's really
Speaker 1: hard for people who are very motivated and driven to
Speaker 1: do an activity and not try and be really good
Speaker 1: at it, Like we're like when we did gymnastics for
Speaker 1: that time, we wanted to like really excel and become
Speaker 1: Like it's hard for us to not try and make
Speaker 1: it a career or a business. But because we allow
Speaker 1: ourselves to be just newbies and not necessarily we never
Speaker 1: even need to go back. Like if you don't like ceramics,
Speaker 1: you never have to go again. But how do you
Speaker 1: know if you like it or not unless you go once? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's so like it's very cliche, eat, pray, Love,
Speaker 1: but we kind of have committed, Like on the show
Speaker 1: we talk about playta and like be you know, never
Speaker 1: let that child like sense of joy and want to go.
Speaker 1: But we then make ourselves stay accountable to it by
Speaker 1: booking in really childlike or not childlike, but like activities
Speaker 1: that are just for fun, like yeah, ceramics and like
Speaker 1: we've got a ring making class, Like we're never going
Speaker 1: to become silversmiths, but like we just think it's really
Speaker 1: fun to just try stuff, and.
Speaker 2: We don't do it as a means of like we
Speaker 2: don't it's all we put in our calendar and say
Speaker 2: we need to be spontaneous today or like it just happens.
Speaker 2: We're both you know how you have that friend where
Speaker 2: you're like can get them to do anything, they'll just
Speaker 2: do it. It's kind of like that where we if
Speaker 2: we say each other, if we ever request for each
Speaker 2: other to block out a whole day, it's not it's
Speaker 2: worth it often so it's never like we'd waste each
Speaker 2: other's time or in any way. But yeah, we've had
Speaker 2: some funny as things. Yeah, I had one plan for
Speaker 2: you by we never want to do it, but you
Speaker 2: want me to tell you now or not.
Speaker 1: No, don't tell me because there's still a chance we
Speaker 1: could do it. So, like the only restriction recently was
Speaker 1: like this birthday and this Christmas, I was pregnant, so
Speaker 1: we couldn't like we physically weren't allowed to do because
Speaker 1: we do a mix of like tactile arts and crafts things,
Speaker 1: but then physical activities as well, like gymnastics, and I can't.
Speaker 2: Do a lot of them. Yeah, the physical.
Speaker 1: Suddenly and was like we're very limited this year incredibly because.
Speaker 2: There's nothing else. Well, if anyone has any suggestions, we've
Speaker 2: kind of run out of all the things that we
Speaker 2: possibly could do from a like we've we've even't gone felting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did dry felting for Christmas.
Speaker 2: Cut what Elena said? What or Helen? I sorry and
Speaker 2: said what Dr Brandy said is trapeze peace.
Speaker 1: See I would definitely not be like right now.
Speaker 2: But after after the Brandy had said that as well,
Speaker 2: when we said that we did we had done gymnastics. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's a good one on the list.
Speaker 1: We should do a seize the a when we go
Speaker 1: back to doing neighborhood events, we should do a gymnastic
Speaker 1: session profile. So we started once as one of the
Speaker 1: surprise birthday events was and organized with like an actual
Speaker 1: gymnast who's an athlete, competitive athlete to run us through
Speaker 1: and let us literally use proper gymnt like Olympic gymnastics,
Speaker 1: double like parallel bars, uneven bars like proper equipment, and
Speaker 1: teachers how to backflip and stuff. And then we just
Speaker 1: loved it so much that Nick engine I kept going
Speaker 1: back like this weekly until COVID, which is when we stopped.
Speaker 2: We had like a prime we had paid for.
Speaker 1: Private lessons and each was so much fun, really fun
Speaker 1: because you don't ever throw your body around that like that.
Speaker 2: And it's safe. It's so safe there, but it's also
Speaker 2: like these we had to use the the whore thing
Speaker 2: and the ring.
Speaker 1: I just think we should get that video footage back
Speaker 1: out because it's so often because it's so bad.
Speaker 2: I'm so it's so bad, and you're so like you're
Speaker 2: sporty whatever whatever, and I was like, yeah, but I'm like,
Speaker 2: my legs don't move very far away from each other,
Speaker 2: Like what do you mean They're not flexible.
Speaker 1: Like like like they don't like you can't separate your
Speaker 1: feet in the split.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like so I couldn't do a lot of like
Speaker 2: getting my legs over the uneven bars.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Yeah. So it was really interesting because Nick
Speaker 1: and and I all have really different strengths physically, and
Speaker 1: so like we'd all just nail certain activities and the
Speaker 1: other two would just be the one definitely got competitive
Speaker 1: you and Nick got real intent.
Speaker 2: No, then I just surrendered to the fact that I
Speaker 2: was never going to win this game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was so much fun. So there's some
Speaker 1: random things that bring us joy.
Speaker 2: Well, can I listen the things that we have done,
Speaker 2: because I do need public support or help in finding
Speaker 2: the next activity because I'm really stuck as your birthday
Speaker 2: is coming up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also can't do any act.
Speaker 2: That's why we need the masses to help brains. So
Speaker 2: we've done paint and sip, ceramics. We've won paintings in
Speaker 2: a lot, ceramics, tufting, felting, gymnastics, Yeah, metal work, you've
Speaker 2: booked in ring making.
Speaker 1: Other years.
Speaker 2: What else we've done. We're doing a lot of manicuring.
Speaker 1: That's oh, yes, so many manicures.
Speaker 2: We've done that. We've had a couple's massag.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we chatted them. We did a couple's massage.
Speaker 2: We've done a few of them.
Speaker 1: Remember we did them like quite regularly, and then they
Speaker 1: were the cheeks were like can you stop chatting? Because
Speaker 1: just talking the entire time everything. So we've done heaps
Speaker 1: of nail sessions where they don't know that you're Vietnamese,
Speaker 1: and they've happened to be at Vietnamese salon's where they
Speaker 1: talk about us, and then at the end you're like, hi,
Speaker 1: I think they're like, we haven't done a cooking class.
Speaker 2: We haven't done cooking. I didn't think about that too.
Speaker 2: We went to the tennis, done tennis.
Speaker 1: We did tennis. We've been to have we been to
Speaker 1: the MSO together.
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, and we've done Candle Light.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did Candlelight concerts.
Speaker 2: Concerts we did. We have done MSO.
Speaker 1: We went Harry Potter and we did MSO. When the
Speaker 1: Melbourn Symphony Orchestra does these incredible, incredible performances where a
Speaker 1: live orchestra plays the entire score of a movie. And
Speaker 1: it's even if you're not like, we're both really nerdy musos.
Speaker 1: At our school we both played in like orchestra and
Speaker 1: all the bands and like play multiple instruments and love it,
Speaker 1: and so we froth like orchestras. But Nick is not
Speaker 1: a big orchestra person, and he's we've started getting him
Speaker 1: to go to them like Star Wars Indiana Jones, And
Speaker 1: it's magical to just see a live orchestra play the score,
Speaker 1: not just the score, but all the sound effects in
Speaker 1: a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really cool.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So if anyone has any ideas of where I could
Speaker 2: take store for a birthday.
Speaker 1: They privately see them because I can see your suggestions, yeah.
Speaker 2: Or put it in whatever she can know. I'll make
Speaker 2: the final call on where we go. Oh, we've even
Speaker 2: gone swimming with the Seals. Oh my, we've done so much.
Speaker 1: We went to Sorrento. We went swimming with the Seals.
Speaker 1: I had a bowel event. Yeah, that was stressful on
Speaker 1: the way and we had to stop and we were late,
Speaker 1: and then we nearly didn't make it to the boat
Speaker 1: and it was just like but I.
Speaker 2: Said, I'm coming with spoonful of starah. They're like, oh,
Speaker 2: hold the boat whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, swing with the Seals was amazing. We took you
Speaker 1: to that weird airbnb, the Forest and the Stars, one
Speaker 1: Forest in the heavens. It's really good done.
Speaker 2: Oh we've done unyoked that like little Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did a tiny house.
Speaker 2: Tiny house. We've done a lot.
Speaker 1: Of vacations island. What instruments did you play? So I played.
Speaker 2: Wait wait before wait, before we answer, what instrument does
Speaker 2: sah look like she would have played?
Speaker 1: So I only so I learned one like officially two,
Speaker 1: I learned two officially. Actually I learned three officially, and
Speaker 1: then I self taught a few others and by self taught.
Speaker 1: Your sister taught me them.
Speaker 2: Well, the guitar, the drum, the one drum beat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, so I officially did piano.
Speaker 2: Someone said you look like a violinist.
Speaker 1: People say that, but I never did violin I never
Speaker 1: did strings. So I did piano. That's very flute.
Speaker 2: Of you, very Asian of you.
Speaker 1: Flute. No, but this is my white parents.
Speaker 2: So pianoedg tuba. That's amazing. So and me's like.
Speaker 1: Edge the triangle. I RECOGNI I'd pick you for a
Speaker 1: triangle player.
Speaker 2: I would say I would pick you as a violinist,
Speaker 2: like one of those like at the front, like but
Speaker 2: first violinists, like at the front the solo.
Speaker 1: I never did strings. I did piano. This is one
Speaker 1: will surprise you. Piano classes, flute in hei in primary
Speaker 1: school and then in high school drums, trumpet. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Gone Troll?
Speaker 2: Yes, because that because I was in.
Speaker 1: The brass ensemble. Okay, well i've only but I also
Speaker 1: learned drums drums, and I did, and I was in
Speaker 1: chamber voices, so I did singing.
Speaker 2: Oh, chamber of voices. See, that's why she should be
Speaker 2: a violinist. I had only learned one formally, and as
Speaker 2: all high chambers do, trumpet. But did you have gone Trol? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We both had the same hectic Russian. But he was
Speaker 1: the best teacher. It was so funny, and he no,
Speaker 1: he just gave up with me that.
Speaker 2: He was like saying, well, I could like own the
Speaker 2: only sheet music I could ever ever read was just
Speaker 2: trumpet music. If you ask me to trumpet music, still
Speaker 2: can't like just so and then, But if you tried
Speaker 2: to give me the same, hidna, If you tried to
Speaker 2: give me the same, it's music, Dana. Oh sorry, Dana.
Speaker 2: If you gave me the same sheet music that was
Speaker 2: like piano, you can compute it. I think I only
Speaker 2: mashed it with the positions. That's the only way I
Speaker 2: could like read it anyway.
Speaker 1: So I hired did you own a trumpet or did
Speaker 1: you use one of the schools? I used the schools,
Speaker 1: but by the end, just have it, okay, So I
Speaker 1: used the schools as well. You probably use mine. But
Speaker 1: he knew because I stored it at the school how
Speaker 1: often that I didn't take it home because he's like,
Speaker 1: it was in the cover. It's like if you've done
Speaker 1: all your scales and stuff. And I was like yep,
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, how because your trumpet was here
Speaker 1: for like two months.
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I was so bad. Trumpet was
Speaker 2: the only thing that could work with me because it's
Speaker 2: like you can only feel one note at a time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then like my note would be allocated in
Speaker 1: the like sheet music, and I would pretend that I
Speaker 1: was playing it, and then like he couldn't hear it.
Speaker 1: So he's like, Sarah, Yeah, that's why I don't know
Speaker 1: what I was.
Speaker 2: That's why I played No. I played third trumpet for
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 1: I was like, so it was they were like five
Speaker 1: and I was like six. It was like the voluntary
Speaker 1: Everyone was like just crotch it.
Speaker 2: So it's like spur. I haven't heard the word crotch it.
Speaker 2: Crotch it in so long. Yeah, semi quavers. But you
Speaker 2: self taught guitar as well. Yeah, I'm probably more proficient
Speaker 2: at guitar than they're really good at guitar trumpet, I am.
Speaker 1: My best instrument is probably piano. Like, but I can't
Speaker 1: read cheat music. So I can listen to a song
Speaker 1: and play it, yeah, but I can't read it and
Speaker 1: play it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, Yeah, piano has my brain. I think Mum
Speaker 2: tried to get us in early and as disgraceful Vietnamese
Speaker 2: daughter as we did, and we weren't very good. Although
Speaker 2: Katherine is very actually much more innately musical than we are,
Speaker 2: but at the same time we are. I feel like
Speaker 2: I feel like we're called a musical family.
Speaker 1: So people who still to this day ask how we
Speaker 1: know each other just a little recap, even though I
Speaker 1: feel like we need a business card or our points.
Speaker 1: So I was really close with and his elder sister.
Speaker 1: We were in the same year at high school, so
Speaker 1: we were really really close and hiding and as Catherine's
Speaker 1: youngest sister, and like literally since you were a baby,
Speaker 1: I've known who you were because of Catherine, and knew
Speaker 1: your family and your parents and everything. And anyway, Catherine
Speaker 1: and I were in a band a school and.
Speaker 2: We used to fly.
Speaker 1: We used to put on concerts like full had amps
Speaker 1: and everything set up with like electric guitars. Like we
Speaker 1: would put on a full concert of.
Speaker 2: The Undercroft at the Undercroft No in the hall, Oh
Speaker 2: my god, how obnoxious.
Speaker 1: And we'd get like the full tech guy to like
Speaker 1: do the curtains and the lights and we played the
Speaker 1: ronicas like we came out and like everyone would come
Speaker 1: and there was like a mosh pit. And it was
Speaker 1: an all girls school, so it was even weirder that
Speaker 1: we were just like, well, came baby, we.
Speaker 2: Can live, but you were the singer. I was the
Speaker 2: drummer and the drummer for a song.
Speaker 1: M and then I got kicked out.
Speaker 2: We don't speak about that.
Speaker 1: And then I didn't speak to.
Speaker 2: Until she was like, still an elephant in the room.
Speaker 1: My sister wants wants to get into business. Can can
Speaker 1: we surprise you? And then we surprised Ange and then
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, I like this sister better. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't say that.
Speaker 2: Because I never kicked her out of a band yet. Dana,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Also shout out to Dana and Hann who both have
Speaker 1: said hello and are both longtime yighborhood members, very active
Speaker 1: who we love. Dana has a question, is there anything
Speaker 1: you two can't do aside from playing the trump record
Speaker 1: an episode that isn't totally I actually went off topic.
Speaker 2: I was really good at the recorder.
Speaker 1: Has anyone seen Andre's recorder content? And I'm so glad
Speaker 1: you don't have one because you would have done a
Speaker 1: demonstration there are actually so I think one of the
Speaker 1: reasons why we're both quite similar is because we'll always
Speaker 1: give something a red hot crack, so it often looks
Speaker 1: like we can do a lot of different things we can't.
Speaker 1: We just are happy to try them once or twice
Speaker 1: and be like very mediocre at them. But it looks
Speaker 1: like we're always doing lots of activities. We just like
Speaker 1: we'll play at tennis rally one day because we're on
Speaker 1: a holiday together on the tennis court, but like none
Speaker 1: of us are great at time. Yes, we'll just do
Speaker 1: it because it's fun. And then we'll like play mini
Speaker 1: golf because there's golf that like, We'll always try things.
Speaker 1: I feel we could at those things.
Speaker 2: I feel like I think about this a lot because
Speaker 2: I'm like, I do feel like I can do most
Speaker 2: things at this at the level that you were talking about,
Speaker 2: like like trades beginner or even like just average. But
Speaker 2: there's nothing that I like, I'm really good at.
Speaker 1: I disagree. No, I's plenty you're really good.
Speaker 2: No, there's not, because and there's nothing that I'm like
Speaker 2: an elite level at that I would like.
Speaker 1: Is it anything? But would you say that you're actually
Speaker 1: bad at pilates?
Speaker 2: On rule about it? It's hard to think on the spot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a say for me when I first started, but
Speaker 2: then I had to really all The other thing is
Speaker 2: I feel like, I'm quite I love learning makeup.
Speaker 1: You're bad at makeup?
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very bad at makeup, not.
Speaker 1: Very bad, You're getting better.
Speaker 2: No, I still didn't know where to put the eyeliner
Speaker 2: and then yeah, it was like, why are you putting
Speaker 2: your eyeliner? Then I was like, don't you put a
Speaker 2: top end bottom? No, you do.
Speaker 1: You just were using a pencil that wasn't for your
Speaker 1: eyes gothic. I was like, oh, you're getting better at that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's not one of But with you.
Speaker 2: Though, I'm like, yeah, you can also do many things.
Speaker 2: But your greatest strength that you are like above average
Speaker 2: at is one learning languages and two. I know it's
Speaker 2: hard to measure, but like the skill like you're presenting
Speaker 2: skills is so oh no, but you're so like you
Speaker 2: never trained to do that, and you do it at
Speaker 2: a level that a lot of people trained to do it.
Speaker 1: That's really lovely. But my first career was as a lawyer,
Speaker 1: so like, incidentally, like I didn't do training, but you
Speaker 1: kind of train in the art of presenting when you're
Speaker 1: going to be in court. So I kind of started
Speaker 1: in an industry where that's part of it. But one
Speaker 1: thing I'm really really bad at a few things, but
Speaker 1: they all the same theme is estimation of how long
Speaker 1: I'm going to take to get somewhere, how many people
Speaker 1: are in a room, how long ago something happened, and
Speaker 1: whether on the angel was there or born at the time.
Speaker 2: I love the things that were batter are just like
Speaker 2: tiny little characteristics every day activity.
Speaker 1: I use that every day I have to say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: the mum will be like, oh that's lovely. How many
Speaker 1: people on the baby shaw I'm like nine hundred.
Speaker 2: My partner was I'm a bad driver, but I'm like
Speaker 2: just slightly a bit more resticky. I think you're a
Speaker 2: little reckless and little risk taking.
Speaker 1: Also, when I met you, you had a car, but
Speaker 1: you drove once a year, so it was more just
Speaker 1: like we were like nervous and I d drove that much.
Speaker 2: Because I drive like I'm cycling, which is a very different.
Speaker 1: And you touch drive because your car you don't care
Speaker 1: about it. You're like, oh, just just oh whoops, are touched.
Speaker 1: We got on the freeway, I don't remember, I mean
Speaker 1: were like you just kept going and you just tapped
Speaker 1: the gun in front of you and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: what we're going? I think we're going to five acres actually,
Speaker 1: and yeah, and you just kept driving like really slowly,
Speaker 1: but you just didn't stop, and then you just touched
Speaker 1: the car in front of you and you're like, oh whatever.
Speaker 2: I think he knew the French in me. So on
Speaker 2: the back of this said is it anything that you
Speaker 2: thought you'd be a champ at but was a major flop? Yes,
Speaker 2: gymnastics really I actually thought. I was like I have
Speaker 2: the strength and mobility and I got there. It was
Speaker 2: very We do have to share the gymnastics video video again. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's this amazing video of us trying to learn the
Speaker 2: pommel horse thing, and to learn it you have to
Speaker 2: put your foot in a bucket that's attached to a
Speaker 2: string and then you kind of try to swing the
Speaker 2: bucket around while you're holding onto the horse. Yeah. And
Speaker 2: I think when I went second or something and Phil
Speaker 2: was like showing us and I was like, oh, that
Speaker 2: makes sense, Like that's the progression into the spot I
Speaker 2: went in. I couldn't even like I actually couldn't move,
Speaker 2: and so there's this bit of him pulling me around
Speaker 2: because I couldn't and Sarah goes on and like, does
Speaker 2: it like three rounds by herself. And I was surprised
Speaker 2: me though, But that's what I mean. I thought I
Speaker 2: was gonna be a lot better, but I was actually
Speaker 2: just yeah, like literally a flop. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh. One thing I really am not good at is
Speaker 1: bike riding. We've already covered this in a few episodes,
Speaker 1: but I'm really not and for someone who's like quite coordinated,
Speaker 1: not good at it. But the reverse something I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be good at but I am accidentally good at with
Speaker 1: no practice is golf.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, old thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not like amazing at like height, but it'll
Speaker 1: just go in the direction I want it to go,
Speaker 1: even if it's like on the floor. Nick is just
Speaker 1: like how the fuck? Like he practices all the time,
Speaker 1: and then I'll just randomly play sometimes and I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: it went where I wanted, And He's like, how did
Speaker 1: you do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a genetic good at golf.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: The other thing I've realized is diving into a pool.
Speaker 1: You're not good at, no, not great.
Speaker 2: It's quite a literal flop. No I need so I
Speaker 2: think I leak so I'll show you content.
Speaker 1: So I thought I looked like this, Yeah, like Mermaid.
Speaker 2: And at footy like camp thing this jump in and
Speaker 2: putlans from as fast for good, and I thought I
Speaker 2: was like really being the most efficient dimer. And the
Speaker 2: videos like this sh like I just gravity just takes
Speaker 2: me down as a flat surface.
Speaker 1: Oh that's really cute. Someone said, Lena said, wait until
Speaker 1: bear is born, your new timeline will be based on
Speaker 1: how old they are. I've been doing that for the
Speaker 1: past ten weeks. Yeah, except that I will be like,
Speaker 1: remember when the baby was like five, and it'll be
Speaker 1: a memory from like twenty five years ago. Like, I'll
Speaker 1: be so bad it's just impossible. Oh that's a belly flop.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I thought I was really elegant.
Speaker 1: No, not elegant. And also, what's the bim your swimming
Speaker 1: cap and all your hair is out the side?
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing. Another. Wow, none of you are
Speaker 2: none of you are graceful at all. That's so that's
Speaker 2: my answer to that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take one more question because my pelvis
Speaker 1: is starting to get to its part where it doesn't
Speaker 1: want to sit anymore. This is also from Lena. What's
Speaker 1: on the top of your bucket list?
Speaker 2: Great question.
Speaker 1: You know what's really interesting about both of us that
Speaker 1: we don't really have a long bucket list because we
Speaker 1: get very impatient to do the things on it, so
Speaker 1: we kind of do them like we're very I think
Speaker 1: one thing that we continue to bring out in each other,
Speaker 1: which is healthy and Nick is the same is don't
Speaker 1: wait until you know a lot of people like I'll
Speaker 1: be happy when, or I'll do this thing I've always
Speaker 1: wanted to do when like once I've been successful, or
Speaker 1: once I've ticked off all these other things. We're kind
Speaker 1: of more like, just do it, like go to Antarctica.
Speaker 2: Which is very lucky for us to be able to
Speaker 2: say and do. I realized because I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: the freedom of trouble for us is a real it's
Speaker 2: hard for others.
Speaker 1: But I think having said that, we also reallocate a
Speaker 1: lot of resources around, like we prioritize those things over
Speaker 1: other things, like.
Speaker 2: I don't drink, Like growing all of my twenties was
Speaker 2: really revolved around travel. I never I never really had
Speaker 2: the club scene, I never like drank, and like I
Speaker 2: was really all about travel, which I have loved. But
Speaker 2: I'd say the first thing that comes to mind, and
Speaker 2: the only thing right now is I've always wanted to
Speaker 2: go on like an awesome like semi off grid road
Speaker 2: trip around like Iceland, like north and like Scandinavia side. Yeah,
Speaker 2: not like I didn't I wouldn't even have to see
Speaker 2: the Northern lights per se, but someding that region, because
Speaker 2: the last time I did something like that was when
Speaker 2: I went to Jordan and we were just the middle
Speaker 2: of the desert and it was this vastness that you're
Speaker 2: so small in this big world type feeling that I
Speaker 2: was like, and we slept under the stars, not even
Speaker 2: intense with six randoms I met the day before when
Speaker 2: we saw seven shooting stars like that kind of that kind.
Speaker 1: Of feeling you feel like significant when nature makes you
Speaker 1: feel insignificant is one of my favorite fields.
Speaker 2: But I do feel like I need to be out
Speaker 2: of Australia to truly feel like away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like and except you haven't done like deep northern
Speaker 1: territory no no no, So it does also feel that
Speaker 1: yeah yeaeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's the only thing that's really like really bucket
Speaker 2: list feeling. The rest of your like major goals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even I think I'm also very lucky
Speaker 1: that a lot of the things that have been on
Speaker 1: my bucket list, say through my twenties, I was so
Speaker 1: fortunate to be able to work them into things we
Speaker 1: did in our thirties. Yeah, so I mean one was
Speaker 1: Antarctica and I actually got to go, which was just
Speaker 1: absolutely mind blowing, and like to take Nick back to
Speaker 1: Korea and to like and also like my rather than big,
Speaker 1: huge goals, my like things I care most about are
Speaker 1: actually day to day goals, like spend lots of time
Speaker 1: during the week with my mom, Like they're like my
Speaker 1: favorite things. They make me so happy. So I don't
Speaker 1: like my attachment isn't as far into the future. I
Speaker 1: mean there are things I still would love to do
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, Like I would love to see the
Speaker 1: Northern Lights. I'd love to do Nick did a road
Speaker 1: trip with his family, like they pulled him out of
Speaker 1: primary school. Oh and didn't road trip in a caravan
Speaker 1: around Australia, and he's still got such strong memories of that.
Speaker 1: So that's something I would love to do with our kids,
Speaker 1: is take them around all the places that most Australians
Speaker 1: don't sort of bother doing that kind of domestic travel,
Speaker 1: but you know, like going up the East Coast and
Speaker 1: the Dane Tree and like, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: something like that is probably it's something I like to do.
Speaker 1: A Luru was on there and I got to do
Speaker 1: that recently, Like Egypt was one and I got to
Speaker 1: do that. So there's nothing that's really calling me right now.
Speaker 1: My bucket list things are more like have a sign
Speaker 1: and it's been done with him, which.
Speaker 2: Is really lovely. And these are just shamans try out
Speaker 2: w a see the wilderness or northern territory both actually
Speaker 2: really want to do. And someone had also said Iceland
Speaker 2: is really I've heard really awesome things about how like
Speaker 2: mountainous Iceland is so like for that reason, I've always
Speaker 2: wanted to go. But yes, we you your crampy plus
Speaker 2: plus and we've had some such nice questions. This was
Speaker 2: really fun to our Facebook people that we neglected because
Speaker 2: we just couldn't figure out how to answer zero viewers twos.
Speaker 1: Oh, so was it you and I going? How do
Speaker 1: we do we do this?
Speaker 2: Anyway, if anyone does have questions in the future, though,
Speaker 2: we always love answering them. Yeah, so send them through
Speaker 2: as you do.
Speaker 1: We obviously don't hold back on our answers. I feel
Speaker 1: like people are very polite. We would answer much worse,
Speaker 1: more invasive questions, and people are so polite.
Speaker 2: They are way too polite. Every time we say it's
Speaker 2: an open book and try to emphasize the open book,
Speaker 2: everyone's like, so, why did you switch jobs?
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, guys, I'm about to literally squeeze
Speaker 1: hum in my vagina and I would have answered anything
Speaker 1: about that, but like, people are so polite. It's so nice.
Speaker 2: Thanks to the founder edit for joining and everyone else
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Girdh and Sarah.
Speaker 2: My mum loved your book. That's oh, I.
Speaker 1: Haven't read it yet.
Speaker 2: I know you've still only read how much seventy I've
Speaker 2: read that one page? Read on your bucket list? To finish,
Speaker 2: to finish on your bucket listen not on.
Speaker 1: I Oh, you know what's on my bucke list? To
Speaker 1: write a children's book? That talking about that for a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah about Paul. I think our little girl.
Speaker 2: That will be super cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, we'll cut ourselves off right now. And I
Speaker 1: feel like maybe we should do this again because it's
Speaker 1: really fun every fortnight.
Speaker 2: Perhaps, yeah, actually we should. We can't commit to anything
Speaker 2: regular regularly. Do you know what I I remember the
Speaker 2: other day.
Speaker 1: Remember I was going to do a historical Yays of
Speaker 1: All Lives, Yeah, I remember, and I still want to
Speaker 1: do it because I'm like the guests who I would
Speaker 1: love to you know how.
Speaker 2: Cecilia's like, bye, stop talking.
Speaker 1: It's like we've said we are John Farnham. We say
Speaker 1: goodbye and do our farewell tour like eighty five times,
Speaker 1: so we we're going to do this segment. And I
Speaker 1: still actually really want to do it because sometimes the
Speaker 1: timing with actual guests doesn't line up, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to alternate like Yays of Our Lives guests yeas of
Speaker 1: Ollive's guest and for those times where you couldn't get someone.
Speaker 1: People always ask that dinner party question, who alive or
Speaker 1: dead would you invite to a dinner party if you
Speaker 1: could have dinner with anyone? And I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to do like who could would you interview in
Speaker 1: the past if you could do a historical episode with anyone?
Speaker 1: Because there are so many people's stories who aren't around,
Speaker 1: but who are so inspiring and so interesting that we
Speaker 1: I wanted to do like a historical like let's look
Speaker 1: at Mari Curriy and what she did for her yay,
Speaker 1: and like Jonavan.
Speaker 2: The pronunciation is Marie Claire Champann Fatty Jenny.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I still think I want to do that at
Speaker 1: some point, but that was like two years ago when
Speaker 1: I first had the idea, and I sil haven't done it,
Speaker 1: so sorry, guys, well.
Speaker 2: We can still do it. We can still do.
Speaker 1: It, and like even like Princess Die, like people's stories,
Speaker 1: who you know. When we have really well known guests on,
Speaker 1: my favorite thing is speaking about all the things they
Speaker 1: don't normally get interviewed about. It would be the same
Speaker 1: for historical guests, stuff you don't read as much about,
Speaker 1: although obviously they can't answer.
Speaker 2: Well now that you've said it to the public, I
Speaker 2: think it's a it's a go to.
Speaker 1: The grand public of like the five people who have
Speaker 1: stayed because we said goodbye like eight hours and the
Speaker 1: zero viewers still said bye. Guys, have an amazing day.
Speaker 2: Bye,
