Speaker 1: These are the yays of our lives. Busy and happy
Speaker 1: are not the same thing. We too rarely question what
Speaker 1: makes the heart seeing. We work, then we rest, but
Speaker 1: rarely we play and often don't realize there's more than
Speaker 1: one way. So this is the platforms to hear and
Speaker 1: explore the stories of those who found lives They adore,
Speaker 1: the good, bad and ugly, the best and worst day
Speaker 1: will bear all the facets of seizing your yea. I'm
Speaker 1: Sarah Davidson or a spoonful of Sarah, a lawyer turned
Speaker 1: funentrepreneur who swapped the suits and heels to co found
Speaker 1: Matcha Maiden and Matcha Milk Bark Sez. The Yea is
Speaker 1: a series of conversations on finding a life you love
Speaker 1: and exploring the self doubt, challenge, joy and.
Speaker 2: Fulfillment along the way. Poop, what an amazing start.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, stating our twenty twenty two with a bang.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, so nothing's changed now. Everyone's like New
Speaker 4: Year knew me. It's like New Year's same.
Speaker 3: And any might.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Well it's been so long since I
Speaker 4: have even had my microphone out of its case, I
Speaker 4: pretty much forgot how to put it all together.
Speaker 2: I think it's been maybe six weeks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't even realize when you said the other day,
Speaker 5: You're like, normally I still put one out each week,
Speaker 5: or an old one or a redo or something. But
Speaker 5: it's suit as it's been since what sort of December
Speaker 5: since you put one out?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it. Yeah, maybe more than six weeks then, actually,
Speaker 4: and that's so unusual. I usually take I mean, the
Speaker 4: first year, I didn't take any break. Second year, I
Speaker 4: think I took two weeks, but I re released episodes
Speaker 4: and then I had grand intentions this year, just re
Speaker 4: releasing episodes for a month and then starting again. But
Speaker 4: it's just continued to be the weirdest time. And I
Speaker 4: couldn't even get my brain together to even say the
Speaker 4: intro to a re release, to explain why, you know,
Speaker 4: some of the content was outdated.
Speaker 2: It's been really weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think normal's quite noticeable. But I feel like
Speaker 5: the last eight weeks or six weeks is flow. I
Speaker 5: feel like I haven't consumed much, Like I feel like
Speaker 5: my brain's pretty full to consume anymore, even if it's
Speaker 5: like good stuff.
Speaker 3: So I think I've just been watching trash TV a lot,
Speaker 3: a lot of that.
Speaker 2: What's your definition of trash TV?
Speaker 3: No, well, we really got into singles Inferno.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I haven't watched it yet.
Speaker 4: Is that the one that's now kind of creeping up
Speaker 4: the charts on Netflix now that everyone's sort of into
Speaker 4: Korean cinema.
Speaker 3: Well, it's like Love Island but Korean. I don't see.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 5: I don't ever watch Love Island because I was like,
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, it's I just can't. But this one
Speaker 5: is just so good because it's just so many cultural differences.
Speaker 3: They don't kiss, they barely touch, they just hold hands
Speaker 3: at maximum.
Speaker 2: It's the most boring show ever.
Speaker 3: Basically, No, it's not boring.
Speaker 5: It's really great for people like myself hashtag abstinence is key.
Speaker 5: It's just something you hooked on for absolutely no reason,
Speaker 5: Like to the point where with our siblings we actually
Speaker 5: teed up, Like when the new release came out or
Speaker 5: the new episodes came out, we were like, whose house
Speaker 5: are we watching it at?
Speaker 3: So that kind of stuff that we've been consuming.
Speaker 5: So, you know, so sorry for not realizing you even
Speaker 5: hadn't put anything out for six weeks.
Speaker 3: I just personally feel like I haven't really taken in
Speaker 3: very much.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sort of hoping that everyone else has
Speaker 4: been finding this whole time as weird as I have,
Speaker 4: and it's also not really noticed because often I think
Speaker 4: this happens to a lot of people in business but
Speaker 4: in everything really that you hold yourself to these really
Speaker 4: perfectionist standards, thinking, oh my god, everyone's going to notice
Speaker 4: if I take one week off and then you take
Speaker 4: eight weeks off and still no one's really good that
Speaker 4: there's been no episode.
Speaker 2: So I think it's just been so weird.
Speaker 4: I put up a meme the other day that just
Speaker 4: so captured what this strange start of the third year
Speaker 4: of the Madness has been like, and it was a
Speaker 4: Venn diagram. On one side is the apocalypse, and on
Speaker 4: the other side is still having to go to work,
Speaker 4: and we're just like somehow finding ourselves in the middle
Speaker 4: where things are still crazy, but everyone is also trying
Speaker 4: to resume normal at the same time, and the same
Speaker 4: uncertainty and the same emotional upheaval is happening all the time,
Speaker 4: but also some things are going back to normal, and
Speaker 4: where it's starting to put back normal expectations on ourselves.
Speaker 4: So I thought that the quote of the AA to
Speaker 4: kick off the year. That would be a nice reminder
Speaker 4: for everyone, mainly for me because I'm semi having an
Speaker 4: internal breakdown, is you have exactly enough energy for just
Speaker 4: one day at a time. And another sort of version
Speaker 4: to that that I saw someone say is just that
Speaker 4: if you're taking it minute by minute, day by day,
Speaker 4: week by week and a maximum, that's absolutely okay. Because
Speaker 4: it is our third year of you know, really big changes,
Speaker 4: and I think often I get frustrated that my motivation
Speaker 4: or that my energy isn't going back to normal. But
Speaker 4: you know, I think it's the circumstances term to go
Speaker 4: back to normal that's.
Speaker 3: Playing them circumstances. It is circumstances, I agree, but it
Speaker 3: means so.
Speaker 4: Weird for me, Like I love creating the show more
Speaker 4: than anything, and last year it was the biggest release
Speaker 4: and escape, but even something that creates so much joy
Speaker 4: for me, I just became like really incoherent. I just
Speaker 4: like had this weird resistance to forming sentences. I didn't
Speaker 4: feel very eloquent. My brain just could not get it
Speaker 4: together to even record you know you and I let
Speaker 4: alone organizing our guest to do an interview that I
Speaker 4: needed at eight weeks off, and I would you know,
Speaker 4: it would surprise me that I actually took it, but
Speaker 4: just a little minded to everyone that if you are
Speaker 4: kind of struggling to start the year, how you'd hoped that.
Speaker 2: I think that's very norm right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of wish.
Speaker 5: That we did it while you weren't eloquent, because then
Speaker 5: finally we'd be on the same level.
Speaker 3: Now there's still just you.
Speaker 5: Being really eloquent in me with an undiagnosed stutter that
Speaker 5: doesn't exist but probably does exist sometimes I don't know
Speaker 5: any who I digress.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, that's a word. It was like poop, but been.
Speaker 5: Honestly, this is our surface level I've been for a while,
Speaker 5: and this is why I was like, I agree in
Speaker 5: that I think internal breakdown kind of implosion might happen
Speaker 5: shortly because I've been I'm normally a pretty reflective and
Speaker 5: deep thinker. But everything's really been surface level for a
Speaker 5: good period of time. There's been just a lot of
Speaker 5: things happening in the news, lots of opinions, lots of
Speaker 5: things that we should and shouldn't feel, lots of changes. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there's lots of things to have to have a feeling
Speaker 5: about that to the point where it's almost too much,
Speaker 5: too many feelings to happen. Therefore we have no feelings.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of just like a totally feelings overload.
Speaker 5: So a lot of time I think, I read the
Speaker 5: news and I'm like, I don't know what to think,
Speaker 5: and don't ask me what I think because I don't know,
Speaker 5: because I just feel nothing now, because there's just too
Speaker 5: many voices, you know, like my male compass always say
Speaker 5: it's pretty true, but I even feel like that has
Speaker 5: been really obscure. But yeah, by just a lot of
Speaker 5: input from a lot of different things happening, even little
Speaker 5: things that you know Djokovic, which becomes quite a moral
Speaker 5: you know, discussion or ethical and politics, and then you
Speaker 5: talk about hospital systems, and then the vaccination will always
Speaker 5: be quite a polarizing conversation depending who you have it with.
Speaker 3: And yeah, constant changes at work, and then yeah, I
Speaker 3: think there's just.
Speaker 2: A lot going on really totally.
Speaker 4: And I think probably towards the end of the year,
Speaker 4: all of us were just hanging on, like let's just
Speaker 4: make it to the end and then we'll get some reprieve.
Speaker 4: But just as the break started, the news cycle started
Speaker 4: to ramp up again, and there was all this new
Speaker 4: bombardment of information and we're expected to kind of like
Speaker 4: draw a line in the end and start a new year.
Speaker 4: So it's been a crazy time. I mean, even you're
Speaker 4: now reflecting on when we were going to do this
Speaker 4: first episode, we don't even remember what's happened since the
Speaker 4: last time we did one of these, because we've had
Speaker 4: Christmas and New Years and Djokovic and Omicron and like,
Speaker 4: so many things have happened, but also nothing has happened,
Speaker 4: and we're still feel very much in the same position.
Speaker 4: So I guess my overarching theme is, Yeah, if you
Speaker 4: guys are feeling as weird I.
Speaker 2: Think as we are, that that's completely normal.
Speaker 4: And if you're ya doesn't look exactly how you thought
Speaker 4: it might at the start of twenty twenty two, that's.
Speaker 2: Also totally okay.
Speaker 4: I feel like a lot of this show lately has
Speaker 4: been me giving myself permission to.
Speaker 2: Feel weird and not together. I feel like.
Speaker 4: That's the general vibe that you know, it's still a
Speaker 4: weird time, so it's okay, you're still feeling a bit funny.
Speaker 5: Do you know when I it clicked for me that
Speaker 5: we were both just so spaced out. It was like
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago when I was like what
Speaker 5: are you doing and you're like.
Speaker 6: Sounds like yeah, like you're a hike and you're.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, I can't, but I might.
Speaker 5: And I was like fine in the morning, and you
Speaker 5: were like, so if you want to hike, and I
Speaker 5: was like, like, you said no, and you're like, I said,
Speaker 5: I might. Look at the texts and I was like, well,
Speaker 5: because you said your I mentally prepared not to, and
Speaker 5: you're like, well, I mentally prepared to to. And I
Speaker 5: was like okay, well we're not going. And then you're
Speaker 5: like here we are, and I was like fine. And
Speaker 5: I was like, well, do you want to lunch? And
Speaker 5: you're like no, I'm busy or like whatever, and I
Speaker 5: was like and then it came to the point where
Speaker 5: we're just so sassy for no reason, like and then
Speaker 5: I think I always said something like I just gave
Speaker 5: you nothing to respond to, and then you responded with
Speaker 5: the thumbs up, and I responded with, oh my gosh,
Speaker 5: thumbs up rude. And then you responded with well, there's
Speaker 5: nothing left to say. This is all my texts.
Speaker 3: And I was like goodness, we suck right now.
Speaker 5: We can't even have a normal conversation to make one decision.
Speaker 5: So I think that was when I was like I
Speaker 5: ended up reading that back later in the day and
Speaker 5: just laughing, being like, we actually suck, because I ended
Speaker 5: up then coming to Alex where you were going that night,
Speaker 5: and it was fine, like we were so excited to
Speaker 5: be with each other and like hang out, but it
Speaker 5: took us for one person to just like make a
Speaker 5: bold decision to drive two hours for us to even
Speaker 5: agree on anything, And I was like, good lord.
Speaker 3: What is the world come to?
Speaker 5: And I can't even have one conversation to make one
Speaker 5: decision with someone that normally we're just in each other's brains,
Speaker 5: we don't need normally need to even ask totally year.
Speaker 4: I think it's like decision fatigue and just thinking fatigue,
Speaker 4: Like it was just so bloody tired of information and
Speaker 4: having stuff in their brain that I really actively felt
Speaker 4: my brain just trying to detach from anything, like what
Speaker 4: time it was to do list. I think that's why
Speaker 4: I was not together enough to actually do a task
Speaker 4: like a podcast that involves the different steps, because I'd
Speaker 4: forget to press record, like I would forget.
Speaker 2: What I was saying mid sentence.
Speaker 4: So it was really nice, you know, to kind of
Speaker 4: take a couple of days and then even the things
Speaker 4: like I can't even remember what's happened before Jocovic. I
Speaker 4: think that's the most current thing that's in my brain.
Speaker 4: But even with that, I think I've put on socials
Speaker 4: the other day that I just I just didn't want
Speaker 4: to hear about it anymore.
Speaker 2: Like I just got to the point where I was.
Speaker 4: Like, can you so they Okay, I didn't have resolutions.
Speaker 4: I usually have really big resolutions, but instead I had
Speaker 4: like things I didn't ask for for Christmas that I
Speaker 4: would like to ask the universe for a manifest from
Speaker 4: the Internet gods.
Speaker 2: There are three things, So.
Speaker 5: Just a paraphrase way of saying these resolutions, that's fine.
Speaker 4: So one thing I wanted if Instagram is listening, is
Speaker 4: you know how you can follow a hashtag, which is
Speaker 4: so handy if you could unfollow, like exclude a hashtag,
Speaker 4: because I just suddenly was like, I can't hear one
Speaker 4: more argument about Djokovic either way, and like you said before,
Speaker 4: I can't even decide how I feel about it anymore.
Speaker 2: I just don't want to hear about it. Just let's
Speaker 2: move on.
Speaker 4: And I feel like all of our tolerance and threshold
Speaker 4: for new information is just like eugh. So I was like, a,
Speaker 4: is there an exclude hashtag option? If not, there should
Speaker 4: be number two because I also have no tolerance for
Speaker 4: like things just not being efficient at the moment. So
Speaker 4: I feel like everyone's a little bit impatient in society.
Speaker 4: Is I would like an apply all setting to my stories.
Speaker 4: So if I've gone to all the effort to make
Speaker 4: a beautiful heading and like line up my music, and
Speaker 4: then there's four frames, chances are I want the same
Speaker 4: thing on all four frames, I don't have to redo
Speaker 4: it for every frame. So how amazing would an apply
Speaker 4: all button B number three on all my streaming services?
Speaker 2: I would like, I'm having a selfish twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm hearing you. I valid at your feelings.
Speaker 4: A skip intro button permanently because I don't watch one
Speaker 4: episode at a time, right like we watched seventy five
Speaker 4: episodes in a row. I don't need to see the
Speaker 4: intro seventy five thousand times. Just skip it, just skip
Speaker 4: it permanent. I don't any intro, right? Would that not
Speaker 4: change your life. That would change my twenty two too.
Speaker 3: I hear you, and I validate your feelings.
Speaker 4: But like the story thing right, you know, when you
Speaker 4: get everything right, you tag like your twenty friends that
Speaker 4: are in the story, not.
Speaker 2: Friends.
Speaker 4: I tag you and Nick and then like Paul who
Speaker 4: doesn't have an instrm account.
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't want to retag you in
Speaker 2: every frame.
Speaker 5: I agree mostly on the music across multiple videos. Once
Speaker 5: I think that's good. I feel like it probably is doable.
Speaker 3: I just don't know.
Speaker 5: I feel like the anti hashtag thing, I think you
Speaker 5: can actually click on the three dots. You can do
Speaker 5: this on TikTok, but it's an option to not show
Speaker 5: me this kind of content anymore, and that's their way
Speaker 5: of doing like anti hashtags, so you can't. It's not
Speaker 5: like an hashtag you block, but it's more so you
Speaker 5: can like kind of see if you can create your
Speaker 5: own feed by doing that.
Speaker 3: You can do it on TikTok.
Speaker 2: You can also just unfollow things.
Speaker 4: I guess, like if something triggering you, I always say, like,
Speaker 4: curate your environment because whatever you are consuming all the
Speaker 4: time is what you're going to you know, feel and
Speaker 4: be surrounded by.
Speaker 3: I demand all these things, but in hindsight I actually
Speaker 3: had to the law.
Speaker 2: In hindsight, I can be more reasonable.
Speaker 4: Also, like there's such a minor inconveniences that it's like, Wow,
Speaker 4: she's really stooped to the next level, Like I can't
Speaker 4: be bothered.
Speaker 2: To press intro, which already comes up. So it's just
Speaker 2: one button.
Speaker 3: Do you know what it is?
Speaker 5: I think it's actually a user experience thing that they
Speaker 5: want you to press it to make sure that you're
Speaker 5: still there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm always still there.
Speaker 4: Have they read the room we're all still there?
Speaker 5: Not? Because I know last time when we were in
Speaker 5: alex I could hear.
Speaker 3: The office playing at three am in the morning.
Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I was there.
Speaker 4: It was so One of the things that happened is
Speaker 4: there was a massive thunderstorm when we're in the country
Speaker 4: and Paul woke up and then he hates thunder He
Speaker 4: had like he needed full coaxing back to this is
Speaker 4: like a full time motherhood roll. This little dog had
Speaker 4: a full breakdown. And then our bed broke not from
Speaker 4: doing the fun things, purely because he jumped on the
Speaker 4: bed and he was too big for the bed and
Speaker 4: there were three of its very old bed and then
Speaker 4: he had another breakdown and he just looked at me
Speaker 4: and was like, I want to fucking go home, Mum,
Speaker 4: Like this is not okay. So I was up at
Speaker 4: three am putting my gone betray to sleep. This is
Speaker 4: what I deal with. This is why I need to
Speaker 4: skip intro a button permanently.
Speaker 2: Do you hear me? Do you validate me?
Speaker 3: Because I hear you, I validate your feelings. I feel
Speaker 3: like we're in therapy session.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: And I also I'm like, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 4: believe I'm going to publish this episode to the poor man.
Speaker 4: I so much to say and so nothing to say
Speaker 4: about the last six state where it has just been.
Speaker 5: I was thinking, I don't think he ever did a
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one wrap up episode.
Speaker 3: Did you.
Speaker 4: I mean, we were supposed to, but you and I
Speaker 4: just kept I just kept being like, cool, let's do that.
Speaker 4: But I think I even said in the very last
Speaker 4: episode with the real Dad's which was the greatest interview,
Speaker 4: I think I'll re release that as a little like
Speaker 4: previously on CZA for everyone, and then not permanently skip
Speaker 4: the intro because the rap is.
Speaker 5: Can I skip your intro or is it just selective
Speaker 5: on who you want to be?
Speaker 2: Well, my rap is, you know I call it.
Speaker 4: But I think I said at the end of that
Speaker 4: if we do another years of our lives, we probably
Speaker 4: won't because it's you know, December got really hectic. I
Speaker 4: had that Oh my god, we haven't even talked about
Speaker 4: going to la and then coming home and isolating and
Speaker 4: doing the marathon, like at seventy one hour. Oh, it's
Speaker 4: just been a crazy time. We went to Tazzy Oh,
Speaker 4: oh my god, twenty twenty one. Like I'm such a
Speaker 4: resolutions person. I always like close a year and then
Speaker 4: reflect a lot and then reevaluate the goals and kind
Speaker 4: of write new ones. I just haven't done that this
Speaker 4: year because it's just, yeah, been so weird. So I
Speaker 4: think that was why I wanted this first episode to
Speaker 4: be very much a reminder for everyone that you also
Speaker 4: haven't kind of closed off last year and started this one,
Speaker 4: or if you're having travel making that transition, like that's
Speaker 4: just you're a product of the times.
Speaker 2: It has been weird.
Speaker 4: There has been no clear delineation, and I think again,
Speaker 4: like this is exactly I should have listened to the
Speaker 4: first episode last year, because I think I could have
Speaker 4: just re released that one because last year I was like,
Speaker 4: it can't end last year and start new year.
Speaker 2: If it's not new year, new me.
Speaker 4: If it's new me, you know, new year, same old
Speaker 4: me with all my same like concerns and worries and uncertainty,
Speaker 4: then it's okay.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I was only asking because I feel like
Speaker 5: you could do a little live reflection on the last
Speaker 5: year and talk about what you feel top of your brain.
Speaker 5: If we said what your three biggest achievements were last year,
Speaker 5: you feel from it, either from any any party of
Speaker 5: your life, so personal, career, just general reflections where you
Speaker 5: feel like the three greatest things that good one.
Speaker 4: I think looking back, and this was actually why that
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one year in review video that everyone was
Speaker 4: doing on TikTok and Instagram was actually really lovely because
Speaker 4: it made you kind of go through your camera roll
Speaker 4: to find some highlights and actually realized I had more
Speaker 4: photos and videos and moments that I wanted to include
Speaker 4: in the video then I could fit in the video,
Speaker 4: which made me even more grateful to think, you know,
Speaker 4: it hasn't been all bad. There's always been in between
Speaker 4: lots of beautiful moments of Yeah, so that was a
Speaker 4: great exercise for me to remember heaps of great things happened,
Speaker 4: and I think the first that comes to mind isn't
Speaker 4: one particular moment, but it's the I think ongoing sort
Speaker 4: of year worth of SEZ, the eight episodes or quotes
Speaker 4: or quotes of the day, or conversations that I had
Speaker 4: with people, of making the third Flipbook, and powering on
Speaker 4: with positivity at a time where many moments I really
Speaker 4: didn't feel like it or didn't have the motivation. I
Speaker 4: was feeling particularly down, but we're having a yighborhood, like
Speaker 4: gave me a reason to kind of get up and
Speaker 4: just find that one quote. If it was a really
Speaker 4: bad day, but five minutes of it was dedicated to
Speaker 4: a quote of the day. You know, that helped me
Speaker 4: as much as I hope it helped other people. And
Speaker 4: then I think you bounce that positivity off each other.
Speaker 4: I feel like at times last year I really wanted
Speaker 4: to just take a break. I really wanted to stop
Speaker 4: the show or you know, take a break off socials.
Speaker 4: But I felt like, you know, having a yahborhood to
Speaker 4: do quotes for or to do episodes for.
Speaker 2: Helped me through it as well.
Speaker 4: So I think just staying open last year, just keeping
Speaker 4: going with it and introducing.
Speaker 2: Two episodes a week last year was a really big thing.
Speaker 4: Having you join really gave me a lot of joy
Speaker 4: and not giving up.
Speaker 5: I've actually got my hands and feet shackled at the minute,
Speaker 5: so it was aful join.
Speaker 3: But here we are still here.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there were many moments last year I just
Speaker 4: thought I can't do it, like I can't keep this
Speaker 4: energy up. But we did until December, and I think
Speaker 4: it helped you know, a lot of people, but it
Speaker 4: helped me most of all. And I really really grateful
Speaker 4: and proud that we did that.
Speaker 2: Another one I think.
Speaker 4: Would be at the end of the year was a
Speaker 4: really exciting, amazing thing. I still can't talk about what
Speaker 4: it was for, but it was really really wonderful. It
Speaker 4: was really uncertain. It was like the height of not
Speaker 4: knowing what was happening. I like spontaneity, but ongoing uncertainty
Speaker 4: is not the sort of ideal circumstances that I like
Speaker 4: to operate in. And I didn't know He's sort of
Speaker 4: until the day I was going if I could go,
Speaker 4: and then Omicron happened. And then I didn't you know,
Speaker 4: suddenly I had to isolate for seventy two hours. But
Speaker 4: I only knew the day that I left, and like
Speaker 4: all the rules were changing. And then I came back
Speaker 4: and isolated for seventy two hours. Melbourne Marathon started at
Speaker 4: seventy one hours after I landed. So then again I
Speaker 4: was like, the last thing I want to do jet
Speaker 4: lagged is run. But I've shared this journey the whole way,
Speaker 4: and I think I should just do it. I would
Speaker 4: just start an hour late and catch up to everyone.
Speaker 4: And that was maybe the hardest thing I've ever done mentally,
Speaker 4: not physically, to.
Speaker 2: Run by myself.
Speaker 4: I ran by myself for fourteen kilometers and then finished
Speaker 4: the last seven like by myself, like no water stops,
Speaker 4: no humans on the track, guys.
Speaker 5: So like be you y herself, like b y e herself,
Speaker 5: I myself. I don't know how much we can emphasize
Speaker 5: more that she was by herself. When you said by yourself,
Speaker 5: I was like, guys, everyone runs by themselves all the time.
Speaker 3: Whatever. But Sarah had started so late for.
Speaker 5: The half marathon that even the slowest of people weren't
Speaker 5: that far back in terms of time and the marathon
Speaker 5: has had already way surpassed that part of the route,
Speaker 5: so genuinely, Sarah was so far back that it was
Speaker 5: not even a single soul or like not even a
Speaker 5: bird around because.
Speaker 3: Everything had been sucked up.
Speaker 2: No wildlife, no wildlife.
Speaker 3: It was like it was like an apocalypse.
Speaker 2: It was my then diagram.
Speaker 5: You were saying that one of the security guards would
Speaker 5: like had to gently just ask like are you okay because.
Speaker 3: He was just so far behind. He started so much later,
Speaker 3: it was you should put the video out.
Speaker 4: He was trying to pick up the witch's hats. He
Speaker 4: was like, like, I need to like open the road again.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I started later with in America. I was like telling
Speaker 4: everyone my last story that I found. It was like
Speaker 4: the two people that I saw in an hour. Yeah
Speaker 4: that was that I was really proud of because I
Speaker 4: was allowed to do it another time. But I just
Speaker 4: was like, you know, I want to do it on
Speaker 4: the day. I want to finish at the MCG and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was crazy. And then I don't know what
Speaker 2: a third one would be.
Speaker 4: I think I'm I really really loved towards the end
Speaker 4: of the year doing the for Women in science miniseries
Speaker 4: and then the Nike running miniseriies. I loved creating like
Speaker 4: miniseries that really shone a light on people who I
Speaker 4: find so interesting, and structuring things a little differently and
Speaker 4: just kind of going with the flow a lot more.
Speaker 4: I think I talked the talk about embracing uncertainty a
Speaker 4: lot in twenty twenty, and I did it to an extent,
Speaker 4: but I also still had a bit more control than
Speaker 4: I had last year. But then last year I really
Speaker 4: did embrace the whole, like, I don't have a plan
Speaker 4: really further ahead than a fortnight, but I'm going to
Speaker 4: make the most of it.
Speaker 2: And I think looking.
Speaker 4: Back at last year and then seeing all the highlights,
Speaker 4: I was like, I think I think I did. I
Speaker 4: think I got a lot out of the year, even
Speaker 4: though it was really hard and we went back into
Speaker 4: lockdown quite a few times, but I still have lots
Speaker 4: of happy memories and yeah.
Speaker 5: And then what about if you had to reflect on
Speaker 5: your low lights.
Speaker 7: The parts of the year that you pass didn't really enjoy,
Speaker 7: parts that you found challenging, or any times if you
Speaker 7: did turn out yeah, anything that's just was mass great.
Speaker 4: Weirdly, I think I had so much momentum through the
Speaker 4: year that there were really hard times. I mean, the
Speaker 4: sort of sixth and seventh or whatever it was lockdowns
Speaker 4: was just I mean, I don't think any of us
Speaker 4: really remember them, like the blur that that was, and
Speaker 4: the like you mentioned, so much emotion that you're almost
Speaker 4: a numb because you're like, well, I can't even fight this,
Speaker 4: like you know, it was just so difficult. But honestly,
Speaker 4: I think it was when I low down at the
Speaker 4: when I felt like I made it to the end
Speaker 4: of the year. I finished the podcast, I finished LA
Speaker 4: I finished the marathon, I got to Christmas, we went
Speaker 4: to Tazzy, spent some time with a Nick's family. We
Speaker 4: had a really tumultuous time with his family as well
Speaker 4: through the year with some health complications that was Nick
Speaker 4: was away for a third of last year, maybe a
Speaker 4: bit more so. Doing lockdowns alone.
Speaker 2: Was really difficult.
Speaker 4: But I think when you when you're on a roll,
Speaker 4: you can push through, and sometimes that's not good for
Speaker 4: you because adrenaline will just push you away beyond where
Speaker 4: you need to go. And I say this all the time.
Speaker 4: I've said this in my book Two Years Ago, which
Speaker 4: I wrote three years ago. Now, So obviously I haven't
Speaker 4: really learned my lesson, but I clearly just was pushing
Speaker 4: to get to sort of New Year's and then from
Speaker 4: New Year's till now has been the big crash of
Speaker 4: just complete flatness, and I would say even below flat,
Speaker 4: just moments of such not darkness, but just nothingness, of
Speaker 4: complete depletion. I think of like, oh, I held on
Speaker 4: all year to just be positive and get through the
Speaker 4: day and motivation, I rise up, lifting others whatever.
Speaker 2: And then the first week of January, I was like,
Speaker 2: this is fucked.
Speaker 4: I hate everything, I hate everyone, and I get like
Speaker 4: that maybe once every two years, but when I do it,
Speaker 4: it's like two weeks long and I can't talk. So
Speaker 4: I think it's been this year instead literally, But also
Speaker 4: sitting with that and knowing that what I was telling
Speaker 4: other people is that that's normal, and I was sharing
Speaker 4: a lot of it along the way as well, to
Speaker 4: explain sort of how I was feeling in case anyone
Speaker 4: else needed validation if they were having a really dark time.
Speaker 2: Even though that.
Speaker 4: Should be when we've sort of earned freedom again, you know,
Speaker 4: we should be in the middle of our hot girl summer.
Speaker 4: Things were open up, we were expecting you know, we
Speaker 4: were on holidays that should feel great, but I think
Speaker 4: it felt worse because you kind of slow down all
Speaker 4: catches up with you. That I think that was my
Speaker 4: hardest and I'm only just sort of this week coming
Speaker 4: out of it realizing like.
Speaker 2: It's okay, just go slowly.
Speaker 4: And I think the way I described it was, you
Speaker 4: spend all year and all the stimulus around is constantly
Speaker 4: knotting your stomach up into knots, more and more knots.
Speaker 4: Every tough thing that happens, or every even good thing,
Speaker 4: but every overstimulation thing that happens ties up knots. And
Speaker 4: you know how when you first get on a holiday,
Speaker 4: you often don't enjoy it for the first few days
Speaker 4: because you're just unwinding. You're untying the most tight of
Speaker 4: those knots. But why sometimes recovery from a year, or
Speaker 4: a traumatic experience or just you know, life takes so
Speaker 4: long on a holiday is because you've got to un
Speaker 4: not all of those knots, and that you've spent a
Speaker 4: whole year building them up. So it's going to take
Speaker 4: you a while to kind of unknot them until you
Speaker 4: can feel at ease again. So I feel like, I
Speaker 4: got really impatient. I was like, why am I still
Speaker 4: feeling like this? It's, you know, January seven. I should
Speaker 4: be smashing life again by now. It's a new year.
Speaker 4: Knew me, but you know, I was like, I have
Speaker 4: shitload of knots to deal with. They're still kind of
Speaker 4: there so and I think all of us have a
Speaker 4: lot of them. Financial travel, hell, family. Some people haven't
Speaker 4: been able to see their families still. You know, there's
Speaker 4: still so much in the air that if you're feeling
Speaker 4: really naughty and it's taking you a long time to
Speaker 4: like unknot them, then that's normal. I'm just self justifying.
Speaker 4: This is such a self justifying therapy session.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: When you were talking about notting all I could think
Speaker 5: about was my hair at the minute because I zoned
Speaker 5: out and I was like, yeah, actually it's drue.
Speaker 3: For a wash.
Speaker 2: Your low light is the state of your hair right now,
Speaker 2: this I get.
Speaker 3: I was like, naughty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, actually, last time I run my fingers through it,
Speaker 5: I didn't even run through it.
Speaker 3: It just got stuck. Half two.
Speaker 2: Goodness, I've been there saying that.
Speaker 4: I'll be in the middle of a conversation and just
Speaker 4: be like, what was I talk about or I constantly
Speaker 4: end up in a different room like why am I here?
Speaker 3: Literally literally the two things I was thinking, and I.
Speaker 5: Did listen to you, I'm sorry, I hear you, and
Speaker 5: I validate you.
Speaker 2: It was like, that is not becoming a thing?
Speaker 5: Was that, Yeah, your face is really listening? And to yeah,
Speaker 5: my hair is really naughty. That's what I was thinking in.
Speaker 2: The last Why am I?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: But you don't you shine? You shine and you listen.
Speaker 2: It's okay shining and glistening and not the same thing.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Anyway, so we're feeling better, we're back
Speaker 2: on the show. This is so without the video, no
Speaker 2: one's gonna understand what we're doing.
Speaker 4: I'll have to We do this like love language thing
Speaker 4: to each other where we roll our eyes. There's a
Speaker 4: photo of us what during our wedding where we like
Speaker 4: roll our eyes back into our head and look at
Speaker 4: each other because we can't actually see each other, so
Speaker 4: none of us knows when we've finished doing it, so
Speaker 4: one of us will always just be hanging at the end.
Speaker 4: So you can see we're like a little bit better,
Speaker 4: not quite back in our normal dear yeahhood, I'm so
Speaker 4: sorry for this whole episode. We do have some very
Speaker 4: excit guests coming up, and we will get back into
Speaker 4: the swing of things. I'm sure hopefully now that things
Speaker 4: are open a little bit more, we might be able
Speaker 4: to get back to some live in person events, which
Speaker 4: would be lovely. Which takes me to yighborhood Watch and
Speaker 4: there are so many beautiful things that I screenshoted. I
Speaker 4: was making a really big effort, as we mentioned before,
Speaker 4: to kind of curate my feed because I was getting
Speaker 4: so overwhelmed by the news cycle and CZ eight in
Speaker 4: part for me, is my revolt against negative news and
Speaker 4: wanting to try and find all the good news stories.
Speaker 4: But one dropped into my lap when we were in
Speaker 4: Alexandra in the country when and surprised us. I think
Speaker 4: it was last Monday, right, and we went for a
Speaker 4: big hike. I was this town has like maybe a
Speaker 4: thousand people. It's a very small town.
Speaker 3: It's literally like twelve people.
Speaker 2: Okay, twelve.
Speaker 4: You know, I have no people scale or volume scale,
Speaker 4: but I read on the sign eleven hundred people.
Speaker 3: So I do not believe that I'm going to go
Speaker 3: there and count.
Speaker 4: What you could You'd be like one fourteen everyone is
Speaker 4: sit down?
Speaker 3: Can you quickly sign my so it's really important.
Speaker 4: These are official Instagram numbers anyway. So I'm sitting at
Speaker 4: the cafe. There's like one cafe. It's called the Grant
Speaker 4: Street Grosser. I met the owner.
Speaker 2: She's absolutely lovely.
Speaker 4: They've brought like Melbourne quality coffee and chai and smashed
Speaker 4: avo to this tiny country town, which is like absolutely incredible,
Speaker 4: so lovely, and they also showcase food businesses like the
Speaker 4: honey and the jams and the saucers from all around
Speaker 4: the Marandindi area, which is beautiful. But our waitress came
Speaker 4: out to serve us and stops halfway through the conversation
Speaker 4: and goes, are you from Cca? And I lost my
Speaker 4: actual shit. Lily Ward, I love you so much. She
Speaker 4: is the most beautiful member of the neighborhood who just
Speaker 4: happens to have been working at that cafe on the
Speaker 4: day that we were there. And as you know, I
Speaker 4: say it all the time, we don't get to see
Speaker 4: you guys when we're recording right now, so it just
Speaker 4: feels like it's Ange and I, which is why we
Speaker 4: sound so totally moronic most of the time. So I
Speaker 4: forget that people listen so to hear her reflect back
Speaker 4: on how like it reached her in yuk out in
Speaker 4: Country Victoria and she has the flip book. She also
Speaker 4: listens to The Shameless Girls. Our sister Pod has lived
Speaker 4: in Dubai. Like it's just this incredible young woman and
Speaker 4: you know, I mean you saw all my face. After
Speaker 4: she went back inside, I was.
Speaker 5: Like, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 2: I met someone who listened to like gus Ah. It
Speaker 2: was like the best day ever. It was like the
Speaker 2: best day of my life.
Speaker 5: You do love those interactions because you're about you don't.
Speaker 5: I think social media is awesome, but I realized, like
Speaker 5: you don't actually meet people. You make a lot of
Speaker 5: Instagram friends, but as a lot of the time people
Speaker 5: don't You've never met them in real life.
Speaker 3: So some of you in nice put a.
Speaker 5: Face to the name and the podcast is even even
Speaker 5: more distant from a physical standpoint.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 5: You're like all the way to yuk and I was like, Bi,
Speaker 5: you know, this is an online thing like that.
Speaker 2: It traveled down the cords all the way there.
Speaker 3: I can't have Australia post got it there track.
Speaker 2: It's the feline Wow.
Speaker 4: But I just wanted to give Lily a little shout
Speaker 4: out because she absolutely made my week at a time
Speaker 4: also where I was stressing so much about getting the
Speaker 4: energy to start again and you know, feeling really down
Speaker 4: about my own ability to do that.
Speaker 2: So it was just absolutely delightful.
Speaker 4: And she has a wonderful story and I kind of
Speaker 4: want to tell it as well, but I kind of
Speaker 4: want to get her on to tell it herself, so
Speaker 4: maybe she can join us for another episode.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should go back to Alex and interview her.
Speaker 3: Well, boom, that was a lot of internal dialogue. I'm
Speaker 3: just catching up. God, it really speak.
Speaker 6: I couldn't old Wayne just like it on the screen.
Speaker 5: But I agree we should go back to Alex interview
Speaker 5: Lily at Grand Street Grocer.
Speaker 3: Have some honey, honey by your honeys, and it will
Speaker 3: be a life. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: I think you were We probably will get to this
Speaker 5: towards the end of the episode, but I think you
Speaker 5: were chatting the other.
Speaker 3: Day about how you want to evolve.
Speaker 5: The episodes and things like that, and you know me,
Speaker 5: I've always been like, it's really cool to hear people's
Speaker 5: stories that aren't like really successful founders, even though they
Speaker 5: are still you know, like people. I think different as
Speaker 5: you know, as in like people.
Speaker 2: I was like, where is this going?
Speaker 4: I don't know, No, I don't know how to say this,
Speaker 4: but yeah, like lessons so successful or earlier in their journeys.
Speaker 5: They're still relatable, but sometimes they're just so successful you're like,
Speaker 5: well I could never be that or whatever, So like
Speaker 5: you're right in this different part of the journey, likes
Speaker 5: people at the start or people with different journeys. So
Speaker 5: I don't know, I think it would be really fun
Speaker 5: to hear this story.
Speaker 4: Well. I also have in our last section recommendations, we
Speaker 4: will talk about our other idea that links to Lily,
Speaker 4: but I also have pretty much since December or the
Speaker 4: start of December, even a whole heap of screenshots. As
Speaker 4: I was talking about the news cycle in my protest
Speaker 4: against the bad news, found a lot of beautiful good
Speaker 4: news stories, which are actually often quite hard to find
Speaker 4: because people don't report on them as much. But here
Speaker 4: are a couple of my favorites. Some of them are
Speaker 4: Christmas related, obviously, since we didn't manage to or I
Speaker 4: didn't manage to get an episode out in December, but
Speaker 4: the first one that I absolutely adore is some anonymous
Speaker 4: Aussie grandparents went into I think it was Toy World,
Speaker 4: but it could have been just a different toy store
Speaker 4: and paid off anonymously so we don't even know who
Speaker 4: they are, but paid off thousands of dollars of toy
Speaker 4: lay bys just before Christmas so that struggling parents could
Speaker 4: gift their children the toys that they had put on layby.
Speaker 4: Is that not the most beautiful thing it is?
Speaker 5: I think I read the UN and actually opened the headline,
Speaker 5: but I was like, damn it. If I had all
Speaker 5: the money in the world, I feel like that's worth
Speaker 5: too shout people things, how good would you feel? Right?
Speaker 4: I love the idea that it's just it's like, doesn't
Speaker 4: have to go. Not that there's I mean, organizations who
Speaker 4: do charitable work are so amazing, but I love the
Speaker 4: idea of just walking into a shop doing it, you know,
Speaker 4: for individual families or individuals set to parents who have
Speaker 4: individual labors, you know, just walking in and being like,
Speaker 4: I'm just going to clear the debt for all of
Speaker 4: those people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And what's really nice is they're probably not walking in
Speaker 5: and there is no hate towards these people as well,
Speaker 5: because any good is really great good, but they're probably
Speaker 5: not walking in like documenting their whole you know, going
Speaker 5: to the cash register shouting out to TikTok people things. Yeah,
Speaker 5: well yeah, like they're just doing good to their heart
Speaker 5: and it's found, which is really like.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, people that.
Speaker 5: Do do on TikTok I find like I love watching
Speaker 5: that stuff because it's it's like faith in humanity stuff.
Speaker 5: But it's kind of nice that it's still a thing
Speaker 5: that people do random acts of kindness. It does restore
Speaker 5: some faith in a really time where there's just a
Speaker 5: lot of things happening.
Speaker 4: There was another really cute one on a similar note,
Speaker 4: but over in Spain. We're a Spanish football club. Totally
Speaker 4: different idea, but the videos of hilarious. You should go
Speaker 4: watch them. A Spanish football club organized I think it
Speaker 4: was after one of their matches, where all the people
Speaker 4: would throw thousands of toys onto the field and then
Speaker 4: they would collect and distribute all the toys so that
Speaker 4: all children had a gift at Christmas. But there's just
Speaker 4: these pictures of this football field with all these like
Speaker 4: bears getting thrown onto the field. It's like it made
Speaker 4: me so happy. I screenshoted like three different versions of
Speaker 4: the article because I just.
Speaker 2: Like bears were It was like bears were raining from
Speaker 2: the sky. It was the best thing ever.
Speaker 3: I didn't even see that one that's so cute. How
Speaker 3: cute is.
Speaker 2: Like drop bears?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, raaming bears and I think it was
Speaker 4: real bettis and they got their fans to literally throw
Speaker 4: There were thousands of toys onto the field. It was
Speaker 4: at halftime at a recent match for kids who might
Speaker 4: need be in need of a toy at Christmas. I
Speaker 4: just think that's just secutus together. Another random one is
Speaker 4: that stress students in Hong Kong. I've worked in Hong Kong.
Speaker 4: It's a very high powered area of the world. There's
Speaker 4: now a bus that they can hop on just for napping.
Speaker 4: What right, Like, you know, sometimes it's just so.
Speaker 2: Funny, you know that.
Speaker 4: I was still quite a dreamal fatigue when I worked
Speaker 4: in Hong Kong, and so I ended up sleeping under
Speaker 4: my desk and suddenly I understood. I just got it
Speaker 4: why everyone in Hong Kong sleeps at the desk. But
Speaker 4: often if you weren't at work and you were just
Speaker 4: walking around, but you didn't actually like if you live
Speaker 4: far away from where you study, Like where are you
Speaker 4: going to just lie down? So now there's a bus
Speaker 4: that you get on to have a nap, and there's
Speaker 4: like cabin ambience and then because it's like a moving vehicle,
Speaker 4: it's easy to go to sleep. So it's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like a five hour trip. Oh my gosh, it's
Speaker 4: called the Sleeping Bus Tour.
Speaker 5: I'm actually going to start on in Australia.
Speaker 2: It's just you and your van.
Speaker 5: If anyone would like to be incorporated in my beta
Speaker 5: face launch, please just bee.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, right now I only even have.
Speaker 5: One seat, so it's got an intimate sleep.
Speaker 4: Oh do we have one single guinea pig to join
Speaker 4: the show? To join and shows.
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So there's like an Instagram account. The public transport system
Speaker 4: in Hong Kong is called the MTR. There's an Instagram
Speaker 4: account called MTR Sleepers, which like shows the ways that
Speaker 4: residents of Hong Kong nap on the subway and that
Speaker 4: kind of like, yeah, provided this the motion of the
Speaker 4: bus resembles a mother swaying to Rocky to sleep, and yeah,
Speaker 4: it's super cute. I thought that was really cute. One
Speaker 4: in other transport news a woman. Let me find the
Speaker 4: exact details of this one. You know in the UK,
Speaker 4: how when your train comes in, people will be like,
Speaker 4: please mind the gap between the train and the platform,
Speaker 4: you know that like mind the gap thing.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: So there is a forty year old recording of a
Speaker 4: particular man that would that did the mind the gap warning,
Speaker 4: And I think, I don't know. For some reason, it
Speaker 4: was only played at one particular station, and the widow
Speaker 4: of that person of the voice actor would keep going
Speaker 4: to the station to hear his voice, like to hear
Speaker 4: his voice say the mind the gap, think, because the
Speaker 4: recording stayed there after he died.
Speaker 3: And oh my god, it's so cute.
Speaker 2: Isn't it.
Speaker 4: Like it's so it like pokes my heart so vulnerability
Speaker 4: and stuff like that just makes me want to die,
Speaker 4: but also makes my heart so full. So only Embankment
Speaker 4: station was using this recording. And then one day she
Speaker 4: turned up in November and it wasn't there, and so
Speaker 4: someone gave her a copy of the recording and I
Speaker 4: don't know how she got onto the transport bosses, But
Speaker 4: after it was removed because I'm just like old, they
Speaker 4: put it back on for her.
Speaker 2: So it's still there.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's so cute.
Speaker 2: That's so cute.
Speaker 3: I am going to record.
Speaker 5: Poop in various accents, so if anything ever happens to me,
Speaker 5: you can just remember, Oh.
Speaker 4: My god, So that on CZA, I can use your
Speaker 4: voice to do the introductory poop of every episode.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can tend my poop variations to like a
Speaker 5: big box for your wrap.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it. It's like so deep.
Speaker 4: Humanity, kindness, random act of kindness.
Speaker 2: This one is crazy.
Speaker 4: A thirty seven year old Chinese man was abducted when
Speaker 4: he was four and on Tuesday, Actually when was this article?
Speaker 4: Maybe not like this Tuesday, but on Tuesday in relation
Speaker 4: to the day the article that I readly came out.
Speaker 4: He found his biological mother thirty three years later, from
Speaker 4: drawing a map of his home village strictly from memory.
Speaker 4: What so he put the picture up and I think
Speaker 4: he put it on TikTok and like people who are
Speaker 4: from the town or know the town recognized him, describing
Speaker 4: the town to explain which town it was, and then
Speaker 4: he reunited with his parents. He doesn't even know what
Speaker 4: his birth name was. But thirty three years after he
Speaker 4: was abducted from the Yunnan province in southwest China because.
Speaker 3: He is so cool.
Speaker 2: It's so cool.
Speaker 4: So he was only four, but you can go online
Speaker 4: and find the drawings of the maps of his village
Speaker 4: that he drew that he could remember from his four
Speaker 4: year old memory. And there's like literally like mountains and
Speaker 4: then there's like a shop and the street and other
Speaker 4: people on the internet figured it out and then they
Speaker 4: did DNA tests and figured out that it was actually him.
Speaker 4: He remembered like the rice paddies and the ponds.
Speaker 2: Isn't that insane?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, that's so amazing. That is so cool
Speaker 5: over there?
Speaker 2: Chai waits would it be ways?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Wait said for Melbourne?
Speaker 2: Yes, have you seen the sidways for Sydney?
Speaker 3: No ah?
Speaker 4: Ah cute, Okay, you might have seen this one on
Speaker 4: TikTok since you're.
Speaker 2: Such a voracious TikToker.
Speaker 4: I am a young man who has a stammer and sinophobia,
Speaker 4: which is a fear of dogs. And there's all these
Speaker 4: videos collated of him working on his stammer and his
Speaker 4: fear of dogs by asking strangers if he can pat them,
Speaker 4: and it's just so heartwarming watching all the videos of him,
Speaker 4: Like he'll record himself as well to help him get
Speaker 4: more confident.
Speaker 2: And get used to it.
Speaker 4: And so he'll just go up to random strangers and
Speaker 4: work on his stammer to first approach a stranger and
Speaker 4: then be able to articulate the sentence by saying, can
Speaker 4: I please pat your dog?
Speaker 2: And then he's like so scared of the dog.
Speaker 4: You see his hand like go like you know, coming
Speaker 4: so close, and then he pulls it away and then
Speaker 4: starting again and like he's trying to get through his fear,
Speaker 4: and it's the sweetest thing.
Speaker 2: The videos are so cute.
Speaker 5: There is a girl who is an old woman sorry,
Speaker 5: who is very similar to this person, and she's got
Speaker 5: the same thing.
Speaker 3: She's from the UK.
Speaker 5: She's got a stamner and how she's trying to overcome it.
Speaker 5: She actually has an eyelash business. So to what she's
Speaker 5: done for one of hers is that she has made
Speaker 5: a challenge for herself to speak to more people by
Speaker 5: giving out free eyelashes on the street.
Speaker 3: So she comes up to random people to have a
Speaker 3: courage to say, Hi.
Speaker 5: I have an eyelash business and I want to give
Speaker 5: you free eyelashes, and it takes her a good amount
Speaker 5: of time. But it's also just heart warming to see
Speaker 5: that people still stop and will wait and be patient.
Speaker 3: And I think.
Speaker 5: Sometimes when people are supportive or say supportive things, you know,
Speaker 5: like oh, no, you're doing really well or something, you
Speaker 5: can see how her stamach changes and she's able to
Speaker 5: speak a bit more freely. So yeah, it's a very
Speaker 5: similar thing. But it's so nice that I think TikTok.
Speaker 5: I love TikTok because I just love it. There's just
Speaker 5: not that much negativity depending on what your feed looks like.
Speaker 5: But also I feel like I've learned a lot about
Speaker 5: how others differ from me and how they live and
Speaker 5: how we can respect them.
Speaker 3: So such a similar thing.
Speaker 4: So cute, Oh bim, as you would say, it's edumacational.
Speaker 5: It's edumacational education plus plus malways plus plus.
Speaker 4: Malwey seedways foodoo Okay, two beautiful ones. In the area
Speaker 4: of science, I've been really inspired by the fulomen in
Speaker 4: Science program and finding out more about Like I used
Speaker 4: to read New Scientists just because I thought it was
Speaker 4: so interesting the things that people are coming up with
Speaker 4: at any one time to kind of solve the world's problems,
Speaker 4: and two amazing things have come out. One is by
Speaker 4: a nine year old. A nine year old boy has
Speaker 4: created an app to help his autistic brother communicate, which
Speaker 4: I think will be quite game changing for people with
Speaker 4: autism or families of people with autism to help them
Speaker 4: communicate better. And the other one in a similar vein
Speaker 4: but for a different condition, is u Cow researchers created
Speaker 4: a glove that translates sign language into speech in real time.
Speaker 3: That is very cool.
Speaker 2: I want to be a scientist.
Speaker 3: I want to learn sign language.
Speaker 2: I thought you already knew it was LAN. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I did up to level two, and I realized unless
Speaker 5: you practice it regularly, it's like a language, like it
Speaker 5: is a language, but it's like you know.
Speaker 3: How it is.
Speaker 5: Unless they're practicing, you lose it straight away, and even
Speaker 5: learning it you can. I was able to kind of
Speaker 5: practice really quickly because I have a patient on the
Speaker 5: board for a good amount of time and we're able
Speaker 5: to communicating. She was able to teach me a lot.
Speaker 5: But unless you need to do it use it again.
Speaker 5: It's so hard to maintain. It's a language that involves
Speaker 5: a lot officials in a lot of physy hand movements
Speaker 5: and stuff as well, and the syntax is different, and yeah,
Speaker 5: so I would like to relearn it and have it
Speaker 5: as a language that I'm in fluent in. That's a
Speaker 5: black bucket list for sure.
Speaker 2: You should do it.
Speaker 4: If it becomes if this glove becomes commercialized and like
Speaker 4: available to the masses, then you can practice by signing
Speaker 4: with the glove that will try into speech so we
Speaker 4: can understand.
Speaker 2: You can practice.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I won't listen to you unless you
Speaker 4: do it in sign language. There you go, Yes, I
Speaker 4: hear you, I validate you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, and we can call it like duo fingers.
Speaker 2: Duo fingo.
Speaker 3: I was avoiding that because it sounds wrong.
Speaker 2: I didn't think it sounded wrong. Gross. I thought you said,
Speaker 2: abstinence is.
Speaker 5: Key, kids listening, kids, be smart, be safe.
Speaker 2: Be safe.
Speaker 4: My god, you can get over your social awkwardness by
Speaker 4: handing out condoms to strangers.
Speaker 2: That can be your way. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's been so many others and usually I struggle
Speaker 4: to find enough stories, let alone having too many. So
Speaker 4: I'll kind of spread them out because we'll do another
Speaker 4: years of Allies for next week now that we're back
Speaker 4: on a roll. Welcome back everyone.
Speaker 3: But favorite one? Okay is this my favorite one?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: Did you get what I was doing? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4: And I'd forgotten his name, so I literally looked up,
Speaker 4: literally on Google.
Speaker 2: This is how pervasive this amazing person has become.
Speaker 4: I literally looked up train Guy and caught up Francis
Speaker 4: Bourgeois because I was like, what's his bloody dave?
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 4: You look up train guy on Google and it brings
Speaker 4: up this particular man slash young man. I don't even
Speaker 4: know how old he is actually, but this guy has
Speaker 4: now become Google's synonymous with train guy.
Speaker 2: So Francis Bourgeois is.
Speaker 4: Maybe the most amazing thing to come out of the
Speaker 4: Internet over the last couple of months. He's a very
Speaker 4: intense train enthusiast who's particularly yay for trains. Has made
Speaker 4: him like, this is what I love about the way
Speaker 4: that social media. Of course it has a downsides, but
Speaker 4: it has totally democratized influence and allowed exposure for what
Speaker 4: he might have been teased about this. You know, it
Speaker 4: seems weird outside of inner, face to face context, but
Speaker 4: the Internet has allowed people's absolute passion for something to
Speaker 4: become celebrated and enjoyed. So he loves trains, and I
Speaker 4: mean like he knows all the different models and kinds
Speaker 4: and like the special ones that come through stations only
Speaker 4: once a year, and so he trained spots. He goes
Speaker 4: to his British, He goes to different train stations and
Speaker 4: waits for particular trains so he can see them and
Speaker 4: if they honk back at him.
Speaker 2: Like they all get really excited.
Speaker 4: But he films a lot of his videos with a
Speaker 4: three sixty camera on his head, so his face is
Speaker 4: so distorted, like like one of those crazy filters, but
Speaker 4: like it's a down It's like down light times chin
Speaker 4: times a million.
Speaker 3: This is I think. He looks like what's his name
Speaker 3: from ice age?
Speaker 4: Yes, Oh my gosh, it's like the fish eye lens
Speaker 4: of a go through.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what's the animal is? What's his name? The sloth?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Sid?
Speaker 3: Sid?
Speaker 5: He looks like Sid with the big eyes and like
Speaker 5: because because it's just it's just the wrong angle and
Speaker 5: it's like somewhat fishy some whatnot.
Speaker 3: But it is funny. I sent that you to you
Speaker 3: the other day and you're like, I've already's gonna shot that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: I love him so much like he literally he's the
Speaker 4: most happy person. Like you cannot watch someone losing their
Speaker 4: bananas over something that makes them happy without feeling happy
Speaker 4: in your heart.
Speaker 2: So his video is just watching him get.
Speaker 4: So excited, and he just seems like the most genuine person,
Speaker 4: like he's so wholesome.
Speaker 2: He just oh, he just loves it so much. And
Speaker 2: he'll literally a train will come and be like here
Speaker 2: she comes. Like he just gets so excited.
Speaker 5: He is like he's like ceiling and he's running, and
Speaker 5: then the GoPro is bumping, like bopping up and down,
Speaker 5: and so his nose is like big and small, big
Speaker 5: and small.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 5: Like Joe Jonas was on his last one, he's not
Speaker 5: like he I think isn't like wood by celebrities and
Speaker 5: things like that, and I don't think he even realizes
Speaker 5: he's so loved by the world. But when he introduced
Speaker 5: Joe Jonas, he's like, I've got a friend here and
Speaker 5: he's come all the way from America and there, and
Speaker 5: he's like yelling at these trains and Joe Jones is
Speaker 5: just standing in the background like clapping or something because
Speaker 5: it's just so excitable. Then I'm so glad that you
Speaker 5: pronounced the name because I was about to say Francis
Speaker 5: Borgoys and I don't think.
Speaker 3: That is right.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the French. The French bourgeois means something
Speaker 4: in French. It's like an actual word, which means it.
Speaker 2: Means like middle class. I think you should say boys.
Speaker 3: Phoebe buffet is to say, you can't butcher the French.
Speaker 2: Language, so it's like a middle class.
Speaker 4: So there's a Madonna song where one of the lyrics
Speaker 4: is bourgeois, and like, obviously all of us were sinking
Speaker 4: it when we were seven, not knowing what any X
Speaker 4: meant ever, not knowing that we were like making a
Speaker 4: statement about society.
Speaker 2: It's bourgeois.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 3: I did not know that. So that's that's what I
Speaker 3: was saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he has had I think he's also been
Speaker 4: hanging out with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Joe Jonas was on his TikTok.
Speaker 4: He's just featured in a Gucci campaign in the ad Amazing,
Speaker 4: which just goes to show, like, I just love how
Speaker 4: the you know, the everyman with a passion can make
Speaker 4: it in the world just by being true to his yay.
Speaker 5: Do you know what though, kudos to him also because
Speaker 5: he actually posted a video the other day of how
Speaker 5: he ended up following his passion like that did he
Speaker 5: while he was in high school, he was bullied, so
Speaker 5: he then tried to become like everyone else, so it
Speaker 5: had like shaped head. He was like doing sports sports,
Speaker 5: sports stuff, like alpha stuff and then having he said
Speaker 5: something like and then he realized he was feeling a
Speaker 5: sense of loneliness and then he then reverted back to
Speaker 5: who he always has been. So he grew his hair
Speaker 5: out and he wore the clothes and he wanted to
Speaker 5: because he had a passion. He said he had a
Speaker 5: passion for trains at the age of four or something
Speaker 5: and then kind of wind himself out of them and
Speaker 5: has come back into it. And now he's just like
Speaker 5: advocate for doing things that he loves and he's like,
Speaker 5: I'm so much happier and create his community. And now
Speaker 5: he's just doing it for the love of doing it,
Speaker 5: not for Cloud and not for TikTok or any other reason.
Speaker 5: He's just doing it and he's he's look at him,
Speaker 5: he's just nriving.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: I really want to get him on the show. Just
Speaker 2: putting it out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just don't die my Surtias Francis blog always.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you know how you always say that's so boogie,
Speaker 4: where come from?
Speaker 5: A cloud?
Speaker 2: Flu flu friends, He won't have any idea with saying
Speaker 2: if you do, if you know, you know, please, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what bougie.
Speaker 4: So bourgeois goes to bougie, so it means middle class,
Speaker 4: but it also kind of means when you're trying to
Speaker 4: be a higher class than you are, Hence bougie, like
Speaker 4: eating avocados on toast instead of paying your mortgage.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, has a mortgage. She bought a house,
Speaker 2: just saying so.
Speaker 4: Random bougie borgoys, So you're sober borgoys.
Speaker 3: Wrong, you're not fluent even fluid.
Speaker 4: She doesn't even go here, So everyone go and follow Francis.
Speaker 4: I think it's like Francis underscore Bourgeois Burgoys number something
Speaker 4: or maybe that's his Instagram, Yeah, forty three, forty three.
Speaker 4: I'll have to ask him when he comes on the show. Obviously,
Speaker 4: I'll have to ask him what that's about.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, can we make twenty two? Campaign is
Speaker 5: to get Francis on the show.
Speaker 4: Okay, anyone knows Francis honestly, does anyone have one degree
Speaker 4: separation two degrees separation?
Speaker 5: Someone maybe I don't know, if you have the same name,
Speaker 5: we can start there.
Speaker 4: Anyone is also a Burgoy's family, please let us know.
Speaker 4: Or maybe someone works in transport. Maybe we could get
Speaker 4: in that way.
Speaker 5: Yes, anyone on the V line, metro sub merangue line.
Speaker 3: I'm sure we can get there.
Speaker 4: Okay, final section recommendations. But for this inaugural episode, not
Speaker 4: even an inaugural start episode of the year, I kind
Speaker 4: of speak for this first episode of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: Today we are asking you, guys for your recommendations. So
Speaker 4: every other year I think I've done a servier, but
Speaker 4: then I get too many beautiful answers and I don't
Speaker 4: go through them properly, which is the feat. I do
Speaker 4: always go through them properly, but then it takes me
Speaker 4: too long to go through them all properly, and then
Speaker 4: I don't implement all of the things you suggest until
Speaker 4: too many months down the track because I'm slow. But
Speaker 4: this year I thought we would just ask for your recommendations,
Speaker 4: because if you feel strongly enough about something, I'm sure
Speaker 4: it's easier for you guys to to just flick as
Speaker 4: a DM, I'll send us an email.
Speaker 2: So who do you want to hear from?
Speaker 4: Is there a Francis in your world that you think
Speaker 4: is someone who brings a lot of AA that we
Speaker 4: should get on. What do you want to hear about?
Speaker 4: Do you like the structure of this year's of Our
Speaker 4: Lives episode? This whole thing was meant to just be
Speaker 4: for last year, but it's become like one of my
Speaker 4: favorite things to kind of have a balance of just
Speaker 4: regular chats with our interviews. But the idea that we
Speaker 4: were talking about before is based on the wonderful Eddie
Speaker 4: Jacu and his book The Happiest Man in the World
Speaker 4: or the Happiest Man on Earth?
Speaker 2: I think it's called is that Happiest Man on Earth?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.
Speaker 4: His book was one of our recommendations ages and ages ago.
Speaker 4: It's an absolutely brilliant book. He's a Holocaust survivor and
Speaker 4: has done this game changing, world changing ted talk on
Speaker 4: happiness and his perspectives through his lifetime, and he was
Speaker 4: actually coming on CZDA. I was going to visit him
Speaker 4: in his age care home in Sydney last year, but
Speaker 4: then COVID stopped me being able to travel and he's
Speaker 4: since passed away, which just.
Speaker 2: Is a huge loss to the world.
Speaker 4: But I was also just devastated to not have the
Speaker 4: chance to actually go and speak with him, to share
Speaker 4: him with you guys, and to be able to sort
Speaker 4: of ask him questions about his perspectives on Joy. So
Speaker 4: what I wanted to do was to still honor him
Speaker 4: because I'd done all the preparation and read his incredible
Speaker 4: book and have so many takeaways. Was I thought I
Speaker 4: could do like a historical episode where we don't get
Speaker 4: to interview him, but I use one of the interview
Speaker 4: slots as if I had interviewed him to sort of
Speaker 4: share his wayta ata and playta And then that sort
Speaker 4: of led to the idea of, well, there are plenty
Speaker 4: of people throughout history who have been incredible and have
Speaker 4: such incredible perspectives on Yay who have passed away so
Speaker 4: we will never get the chance to interview them, or
Speaker 4: who are just never going to say yes to the
Speaker 4: show because you know, I mean, the Queen is busy.
Speaker 4: So would you like to have a historical guest every
Speaker 4: couple of weeks or you know, once a quarter or
Speaker 4: something like that. There are so many people I would
Speaker 4: love to have the chance to research, but then to
Speaker 4: have something to actually do that for, rather than just
Speaker 4: me googling in the middle of the night, someone like
Speaker 4: Mara Curi or Joan of Arc or people who we've
Speaker 4: all heard of, but who you know. I feel like
Speaker 4: a lot of our more famous guests, you've everyone's heard
Speaker 4: of them, but often you haven't heard their way ta
Speaker 4: or their childhood or their first job that they had
Speaker 4: when they're a teenager.
Speaker 2: And that's the same I think with historical guests. So
Speaker 2: what do you guys think of that? What do you think?
Speaker 5: Bim No, I think it's awesome. I think it'll be
Speaker 5: a nice change of pace also and also great learning.
Speaker 5: I feel like I know of many people but don't
Speaker 5: actually know this story, Like my Angelou. Yeah, but so
Speaker 5: many love them or no idea really much about her
Speaker 5: to be completely honest, be complete, transparent.
Speaker 2: Same Mark Curie, Like, what do you know about my Angelou?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Thanks?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: I love.
Speaker 6: In Coach Karter, so I preduction of her whole life story.
Speaker 2: But that's that's why it's even better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people whose names we've all heard, but whose like legacy,
Speaker 4: we don't know.
Speaker 3: All I can think of when you said, Mary Curius
Speaker 3: Murray Claire.
Speaker 5: So again, no idea, nothing about her. Yim really, bim honestly,
Speaker 5: I live under a rock.
Speaker 2: But she's so like so all her research.
Speaker 4: She won a Nobel Prize twice and her work was
Speaker 4: all in like radioactivity, like if it impacts your life
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I probably know her by face anything for her, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like that's the only thing though, Like it's the
Speaker 5: first name basis or face, so that's like actual Yeah,
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 4: I mean if you saw her on the street, you'd
Speaker 4: be like, hey, maz how are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Mazzy Mazzy Cousy you know Cousy.
Speaker 2: You didn't know, just call Ma Curing Massy Cusey. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I'm going to die.
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell her.
Speaker 2: And I was like, hell, hell tell my episode. Wait, okay,
Speaker 2: everyone vote.
Speaker 4: Now should we structure these episodes where Ange plays the
Speaker 4: guest and does therefore.
Speaker 2: The whole episode, so we both have to research the
Speaker 2: guests so you would know what the answers.
Speaker 4: Are and you have to play my Angelou or Mark Curi.
Speaker 2: For can we actually do that for one of them?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 4: But you have to speak in year oldie French borgoys,
Speaker 4: borg boy boys.
Speaker 6: Why they're all going to sound the same. You're going
Speaker 6: to be like French.
Speaker 5: I'll be like, hi, my name is Mary Currie, and
Speaker 5: you'd be like, no different accent.
Speaker 3: I'll be like hi, do you know? That?
Speaker 4: Be so funny though, if I made you be the
Speaker 4: guest except that then we could just like get suit
Speaker 4: for defamation because I feel like it wouldn't come.
Speaker 5: Round, can you imagine? Because it would not be around.
Speaker 4: Thy cousin would not be.
Speaker 5: Says I think it's a great idea because I know
Speaker 5: very little. But also I was saying, I think I've
Speaker 5: seen the other day. It would be really awesome to
Speaker 5: focus on and say like a theme, say one of
Speaker 5: their quotes, and focus around how their life or how
Speaker 5: they were continued like that was the philosophy of their
Speaker 5: life and how they continue to live life in that way.
Speaker 5: You know, my angela quote is the our greatest theories
Speaker 5: and that we are inadequate our greatest feories that were
Speaker 5: powerful beyond measure.
Speaker 3: There's the last part in that that I love the most.
Speaker 5: And it's like if you let your life shine, others
Speaker 5: a little bit the same, and it's always something I've
Speaker 5: always loved that quote, and it's She's got heaps of
Speaker 5: quotes at the same time, though, she's got the one
Speaker 5: that's like, you know, act in a way that if
Speaker 5: others spoke about the view that people wouldn't leave it.
Speaker 3: So there's different philosophies in her life.
Speaker 5: It sounds so nice to you know, concentrate on you know,
Speaker 5: who they are, but also how they lived out their
Speaker 5: life to fulfill the code of the said or in
Speaker 5: a way, in that kind of way, So it's still
Speaker 5: themed in the sense, yeah, to talk about really awesome
Speaker 5: people in history.
Speaker 4: My favorite quote of hers is my favorite quote ever,
Speaker 4: which is people will never remember what you said or
Speaker 4: what you did, They'll always remember how you made them feel.
Speaker 4: That's my Angelou. We should totally start with my Angelou. No,
Speaker 4: first Eddie Jacu and then maz Cus. Just because we've
Speaker 4: said mas cars now we have.
Speaker 2: To make it up to her.
Speaker 5: We're surely get more and more now it's a Mazzi
Speaker 5: cuzin now it's maz.
Speaker 4: Cus mas No, I'm not going to not even going
Speaker 4: to try. And also, in terms of recommendations, what else
Speaker 4: would you like? Do you want more flip books? Do
Speaker 4: you want the flip books to be cards. Do you
Speaker 4: want more merch? Do you want more jewelry? We can
Speaker 4: do more jewelry. We can do more where we can
Speaker 4: do anything? Like I sort of I love just coming
Speaker 4: up with random ideas, but I would love if anyone's
Speaker 4: thinking of something that they really want to bring to
Speaker 4: life to just let me know.
Speaker 2: Do you want live events? What do you want? Do
Speaker 2: you want like walk back radio where you can call in.
Speaker 3: I have the best idea, just randomly.
Speaker 5: But if that's thinking they're thinking about proposing this year,
Speaker 5: can you please somehow offer that custom proposal quote books
Speaker 5: where it's like secretly one of the quotes in there
Speaker 5: is like Nazis and they have to flip.
Speaker 4: It, flip it onto that day and when that flip
Speaker 4: SATs there, like the proposal.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I thought you were going to say
Speaker 2: something totally different.
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to say, if anyone in
Speaker 4: the neighborhood wants to propose, tell us and we'll like
Speaker 4: rope in some partners in ya like some of our
Speaker 4: sponsors to do like a big surprise.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know what should do?
Speaker 3: That's what I was getting to in my brain.
Speaker 5: Oh, it does not look like that is we should
Speaker 5: sponsor a proposal.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So what we were going to do with thea's of
Speaker 4: our lives last year? As you guys know, it started
Speaker 4: off with the Gippsland trips, so the whole thing was
Speaker 4: meant to be recording in the community, in the neighborhood,
Speaker 4: hearing about people's thea's of our lives from them in person.
Speaker 4: Then obviously travel has been heavily restricted, so we kind
Speaker 4: of did Gippsland and then.
Speaker 2: Didn't do anywhere else.
Speaker 4: We did philip Island and did Freehands which was absolutely incredible,
Speaker 4: or the free prosthetics that were made by Yeah, the
Speaker 4: Amazing team. Go back and listen to that episode. But
Speaker 4: maybe we can bring back in the make My Yay
Speaker 4: concept where people can do more nominations like we did
Speaker 4: the healthcare gift pack send out.
Speaker 2: Which absolutely was just so incredible. It's what makes me
Speaker 2: so happy.
Speaker 4: Imagine if you can submit that you want to make
Speaker 4: someone's yay and we make it happen.
Speaker 6: Yep, I like it so much.
Speaker 5: I take full credit because I started with saying imagine
Speaker 5: if you want proposal.
Speaker 2: But like, imagine if we did to see the a proposal.
Speaker 8: Honestly, honestly, anyone that's listening, I am going to announce,
Speaker 8: as the executive producer afim non executive producer of this
Speaker 8: show that this is actually happening.
Speaker 3: So if you have any.
Speaker 5: Life events or anything that would would be good for
Speaker 5: make your yay. And I'd say, unfortunately, we can't do
Speaker 5: like hundreds of them, but we'll do a few and
Speaker 5: make them a big deal.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, please send them through.
Speaker 4: We should do them like once every quarter or something
Speaker 4: where we do like a big thing. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: we could flash move with other people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's exactly.
Speaker 2: I hear you. I don't validate you.
Speaker 3: I hear you. I hear. And also the budget is
Speaker 3: actually one million doll.
Speaker 4: So dong yeah, so we have to pay in Vietnamese dollars,
Speaker 4: is what you're saying.
Speaker 3: So it's eighty dollars.
Speaker 5: So if you will, you're not going to get it.
Speaker 4: Were like, okay, Chris Kringle's limit is fifteen dollars. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 4: so you're getting a box of tissues, like a small box,
Speaker 4: not the jumpoe back.
