Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by PayPal Small business
Speaker 1: boot Camp series. These are the yeays of our lives.
Speaker 1: Busy and happy are not the same thing. We too
Speaker 1: rarely question what makes the heart seeing. We work, then
Speaker 1: we rest, but rarely we play and often don't realize
Speaker 1: there's more than one way. So this is a platform
Speaker 1: to hear and explore the stories of those who found lives.
Speaker 1: They adore the good, bad and ugly, The best and
Speaker 1: worst day will bear all the facets of seizing your yea.

Speaker 1: found matcha Maiden and matcha Milk Bar. Sez the Ya
Speaker 1: is a series of conversations on finding a life you
Speaker 1: love and exploring the self doubt, challenge, joy and fulfillment
Speaker 1: along the way. Hello, Beautiful, Yeahborhood Back with another Years
Speaker 1: of Our Lives episode with the ultimate Bringer of Yay,
Speaker 1: our increasingly regular guest and foot as many of you
Speaker 1: know her. If you haven't listened to usked gasbag Away before,
Speaker 1: there's plenty to catch up on, as well as her
Speaker 1: very own episode where you can hear her amazing story.
Speaker 1: For this episode, we thought it's been really wonderful to
Speaker 1: be able to bring some escapism and some moments of
Speaker 1: yay to everyone a little bit away from all the
Speaker 1: conversations about the pandemic and the protests and vaccinations and
Speaker 1: all the other heavy things that have been clogging up
Speaker 1: at our news feeds. But this week I thought it
Speaker 1: would be nice to actually spend some time shedding some
Speaker 1: light on the silent pandemic, which has been the struggles
Speaker 1: faced by healthcare and frontline workers, which was actually sparked
Speaker 1: by a wonderful Yahborhood member who sent a message that
Speaker 1: I will read out in this episode, so it's a
Speaker 1: little bit more serious than usual. But of course then
Speaker 1: we finish up with plenty of gags and giggles when
Speaker 1: we get to Yahborhood watch with some very uplifting stories there,
Speaker 1: and then of course recommendations, with in between a call
Speaker 1: out for some nominations or nominations from you guys, as
Speaker 1: we're doing a little neighborhood care package send out for
Speaker 1: any care or frontline workers who you think deserve it
Speaker 1: and need it most. So a really nice, warm, fuzzy
Speaker 1: ending for today's episode. Hope you guys enjoy and of course,
Speaker 1: as always excuse our very random, tangential way of thinking.
Speaker 1: We always forget that way recording, but I think that's
Speaker 1: why I've come to love these episodes so much. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Yays of our Lives, Bin Berlina or you.
Speaker 2: Recording, use me go through your quote book scrowling to
Speaker 2: find quote in the original.
Speaker 1: We have no quote of the Yah yet, guys, for
Speaker 1: this episode, but either one will come out during the episode,
Speaker 1: along with all the other random stuff that comes out
Speaker 1: of our brains when we sit down together, or it
Speaker 1: won't be. Because this is dedicated to the frontline workers
Speaker 1: and other healthcare workers who have been over the past
Speaker 1: eighteen months to two years holding up our society in
Speaker 1: ways that anyone who doesn't have a family member or
Speaker 1: friend in one of those positions probably can't even fathom.
Speaker 1: And and has just herself come off four night shifts
Speaker 1: and she's a physio, as you guys will know because
Speaker 1: she's this is not her first time on the show,
Speaker 1: but and she tell us about your role at the moment,
Speaker 1: which isn't actually a physio role, and has been on
Speaker 1: the front line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel like we say four as if
Speaker 2: it's this exitive run amount, even though nurses will do
Speaker 2: like tons back to back and the doctors will do
Speaker 2: so many.
Speaker 1: But I think it's just I think for it's your
Speaker 1: first time though, yeah, it's your first ever night shifts.
Speaker 2: Fun fact, I've never pulled an all nighter, so this
Speaker 2: was exhilarating. But it's is not a thing that physios
Speaker 2: would ever have to do. But I guess that's the
Speaker 2: landscape of healthcare at the minute, or the healthcare system,
Speaker 2: is that everyone's having to chip in as much as
Speaker 2: they possibly can to make sure things are running smoothly.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the current role is not a physio related role,
Speaker 2: but obviously it's within the hospital. Essentially, with the surge
Speaker 2: of COVID patients becoming positive and more people in the
Speaker 2: community with coronavirus, there's a lot more presenting to ED.
Speaker 3: And presenting to the hospital, And.
Speaker 2: Essentially it's a rather doesn't exist or hasn't existed before,
Speaker 2: but it's to help patients get home safely and in
Speaker 2: a timely manner, with enough support and follow up at
Speaker 2: home that don't necessarily have to be admitted. So, for example,
Speaker 2: we might come to ED not feeling great, but the
Speaker 2: doctors have assessed you and feel like you're okay to
Speaker 2: be at home or you're okay to go home with
Speaker 2: a condition that enough follow up support is organized, and
Speaker 2: so we're responsible for helping to LA's with the doctors
Speaker 2: to organize that and to organize how you can get
Speaker 2: out and also troubleshoot any things that could be flagged
Speaker 2: for you at home, for example, if you've got kids
Speaker 2: at home, people are pregnant, if there's some social issues
Speaker 2: at home that we can help support, or if we
Speaker 2: flag that you might need some financial crisis payment and
Speaker 2: just provide a lot of education. So I guess it's
Speaker 2: just helping the system move a little bit more smoothly
Speaker 2: from ED to help offload the whole hospital system, but
Speaker 2: also still make sure that patient carries paramount all the
Speaker 2: kind of priority at the same time. So the new role,
Speaker 2: I'm dealing with COVID positive patients in ED every day,
Speaker 2: and it does include night shares, which is new for
Speaker 2: us as an allied health team. But it's awesome. You
Speaker 2: get an insight into what nursing life is like and
Speaker 2: so what doctor's lives are like and what the hospital
Speaker 2: looks like and as a twenty full seven service, Like
Speaker 2: the hospital doesn't close. See, people will get sick and
Speaker 2: they'll see it and they still need to come. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's really interesting to see how it's all evolved in
Speaker 2: a pandemic and how organizations have responded and how people
Speaker 2: have responded, and it seems like everyone's really proactive and
Speaker 2: working as a team rather than just trying to.
Speaker 3: Hold themselves up and get themselves through.
Speaker 2: Like this is very much to help the nurses in
Speaker 2: ED and the beds in ED and the hospital as
Speaker 2: a whole rather than just a physio department. It's not
Speaker 2: even physia related. So I put myself like my hand
Speaker 2: up and a pretend to do it, and yeah, it's
Speaker 2: been really fun. It's been kind of I don't have
Speaker 2: to deal with COVID positive patients face to face as
Speaker 2: much yet, but this role is obviously face to face
Speaker 2: with COVID positive patients. So it's what's interesting to see
Speaker 2: how to present and what it looks like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for your nerdy medical brain to actually understand how
Speaker 1: things work. But it's really interesting. You're explaining to me
Speaker 1: that this really came about because there are so many
Speaker 1: people presenting to emergency who probably don't need to be
Speaker 1: admitted all the way into the hospital, particularly at a
Speaker 1: time where those beds are, you know, probably more needed
Speaker 1: than they ever have been. And this whole idea was
Speaker 1: sparked from a message from someone in the neighborhood, Shane North,
Speaker 1: who is a nurse who's working as a frontline worker
Speaker 1: in emergency. She's working at one of the three designated
Speaker 1: COVID hospitals, and it set the loveliest message just saying
Speaker 1: how Cca has been a really lovely place of escapism
Speaker 1: to just have a little bit of joy, but it's
Speaker 1: also been really isolating for frontline works because just to
Speaker 1: feel alone and to not hear from other healthcare workers
Speaker 1: and know that they're all going through the relentless work
Speaker 1: that they've been going through. And I just thought, you know,
Speaker 1: I have really tried to create a space where you
Speaker 1: don't have to think about the pandemic and you can
Speaker 1: get lost in conversations. But I also thought she was
Speaker 1: so right, it would be really nice to just dedicate
Speaker 1: an episode to reminding everyone that there are people working
Speaker 1: overnight and twenty four hours. You know, the hospitals do
Speaker 1: have to stay open and the challenges are enormous. Like
Speaker 1: even in your role, you've been wearing full ppe and
Speaker 1: like not being able to breathe while you're working, and
Speaker 1: imagining the nurses who are doing that for you know,
Speaker 1: twelve hours at a time or longer. It's just interesting
Speaker 1: to just take a minute and stop and think about
Speaker 1: what has actually been happening. Like we're all having a
Speaker 1: really hard time in lockdown, and of course it's all
Speaker 1: relative and everyone's having challenges in their own way, but
Speaker 1: you just can't imagine what people on the front line
Speaker 1: have actually been going through. So thank you so much,
Speaker 1: Shane for the message I.
Speaker 3: Think I've had.
Speaker 2: I have so much respect for nurses. I think before
Speaker 2: the pandemic, when I even ever had.
Speaker 3: To do anything with nurses as a student, even so.
Speaker 2: I was like I was always like I just could
Speaker 2: never do your job because it's so hard. But I
Speaker 2: think sometimes it's about personal care and things like that,
Speaker 2: and sometimes that's what draws people off it.
Speaker 3: But I look at how.
Speaker 2: Much nurses work and it's in like, it's insane how
Speaker 2: much they do without complaint. Just they have so much
Speaker 2: patience for us as healthcare team and also patients and
Speaker 2: their families, and they're just always on night they go
Speaker 2: through the twenty four hour cycle of night work and
Speaker 2: then morning and then afternoon shifts and not they don't
Speaker 2: They just don't complain. They just do it and they
Speaker 2: just know that they needs to get done. And I
Speaker 2: think the resilience of nurses are the probably the most
Speaker 2: inspiring out of everyone. Like nurses. You know, everyone's wearing
Speaker 2: full PP at the minute pretty much probably probably wouldn't
Speaker 2: be seeing a hospital system at the minute without full
Speaker 2: PPE just because that's that's just what it looks like
Speaker 2: at the minute. That's how we can protect ourselves to
Speaker 2: then continue to care for you and the community and
Speaker 2: people that come in. Because you know, we had the
Speaker 2: big outbreak well it wasn't massive, but it was it
Speaker 2: had a big impact.
Speaker 3: Album recently where we had about four.
Speaker 2: Hundred and fifty staff furlough because of a few patients
Speaker 2: that we had positive And that's pretty much why we're
Speaker 2: in full peep and out just protects us. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just couldn't. I could never be one because what they
Speaker 2: do is just I could never do it. I don't
Speaker 2: think I have the patience or the mental willpower to
Speaker 2: continue and that's not to say that nurses mental health
Speaker 2: though the greatest at the minute. I think they're really
Speaker 2: overworked and it's really hard to find refuge at the minute.
Speaker 2: Not just for nurses, but I've spoken to my some
Speaker 2: of my friends who I see it. One's an ICU
Speaker 2: doctor and even she was saying that doctors are feeling
Speaker 2: it too, in terms of the stuff that you would
Speaker 2: normally do, like get out, go for a walk, be active,
Speaker 2: see of friends that would normally balance out life being
Speaker 2: so quite stressful, we can't do so more, feeling like
Speaker 2: it's a cumulative effect of feeling this type of compounding
Speaker 2: like inability to have a balance work and life life situation.
Speaker 3: So it's it's yeah.
Speaker 2: It's really tricky, but everyone's been so good, Like you
Speaker 2: go into the hospital and everyone's so supportive of each other.
Speaker 2: Like I said in the last time I went on,
Speaker 2: when the physia department had people had to be furloughed,
Speaker 2: everyone came together and did that body system to make
Speaker 2: sure care packages were sent out and within the hospital,
Speaker 2: everyone is so supportive of each other that it's, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a really nice environment, Like we're here as physios
Speaker 2: and ots.
Speaker 3: Dan E.
Speaker 2: D doing a very social working kind of role, and
Speaker 2: then you know, everyone's just sacrificing a bit of time
Speaker 2: here and there to help other wards out or other
Speaker 2: teams out, just to make sure that everyone is able
Speaker 2: to just take breaks or whatever it is. It's a
Speaker 2: very very big team effort at the minute. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: where we are today.
Speaker 1: Shane actually kind of called it out as a bit
Speaker 1: of a silent pandemic in itself, just the challenges that
Speaker 1: frontline workers and healthcare workers and everyone else who's working
Speaker 1: in that environment is really facing at the moment. And
Speaker 1: I just thought it was really nice that she wanted
Speaker 1: to reach out to other people in other hospitals or
Speaker 1: in other situations to say, you're not alone. And you know,
Speaker 1: the majority of time, people do really want a break
Speaker 1: from hearing about the pandemic, but then they also do
Speaker 1: want to feel heard, and they also want to do
Speaker 1: feel like people who aren't going through the exact same
Speaker 1: thing know what they're going through. So she sent this.
Speaker 1: I asked her, once I decided we were going to
Speaker 1: do an episode on it, if she wanted to contribute anything,
Speaker 1: and I thought I'd just read out her message, which
Speaker 1: was so sweet. She just said, I'd love to reiterate
Speaker 1: how much every single one of us doing this work
Speaker 1: is there because we love doing it and we care
Speaker 1: so much for the community and people. I honestly believe
Speaker 1: healthcare workers and frontliners are all put on this earth
Speaker 1: to have our hands in there helping each other to
Speaker 1: stay afloat. I wouldn't be who I am without the
Speaker 1: lessons I've learned in this job. All we wish for
Speaker 1: in return is a little understanding, respect, and compassion for
Speaker 1: the difficulties we face, because that can go such a
Speaker 1: long way. Also, I think it's so important that regardless
Speaker 1: of what is going on, people need to know we
Speaker 1: are going to treat every single human with the same
Speaker 1: level of care and the same good intentions, no matter
Speaker 1: your walk of life, your life decisions, your views on
Speaker 1: world problems, and your history. We are there to hold
Speaker 1: your hand when you're scared and reassure you that we'll
Speaker 1: do anything in our power to keep you well. And lastly,
Speaker 1: which is relevant to what you were saying and pretty
Speaker 1: much why this new role has been created for you,
Speaker 1: please save emergencies for proper emergencies. We're drowning and burnt
Speaker 1: out and understaffed and we only have so much agility
Speaker 1: and resilience to bring to the table, and we need
Speaker 1: to give our GPS and nurse on call services the
Speaker 1: credit they deserve. They are amazing and can prevent so
Speaker 1: many presentations, which at the end of the day can
Speaker 1: save a life, allowing us to prioritize and see those
Speaker 1: who really really need it as soon as possible. So
Speaker 1: I thought that was really nice of her to just
Speaker 1: like for me to even understand what she might be feeling,
Speaker 1: and what her colleague might be feeling, and what obviously
Speaker 1: people in the neighborhood might be feeling. I thought was
Speaker 1: really nice. And I also thought, based on your buddy
Speaker 1: system that you mentioned, so being furloughed means that you
Speaker 1: everyone who was exposed had to go home right and
Speaker 1: they couldn't work on the floors anymore, and they were
Speaker 1: basically in quarantine. And Andrew's hospitals set up like a
Speaker 1: buddy system where you would all check on each other.
Speaker 1: So I actually another doctor another medical work or a
Speaker 1: doctor Dana who I've mentioned quite a few times who
Speaker 1: runs Junior Doctor's Corner, which we'll hear from next week.
Speaker 1: She ran a yighborhood gift exchange in the CZA Facebook
Speaker 1: group just to get regular neighborhood people through the pandemic
Speaker 1: by pairing up strangers to send little gifts like Chris
Speaker 1: Kringle to each other, which we just sent off all
Speaker 1: our gifts last week and it was the loveliest exchange
Speaker 1: and just community connections. So I thought maybe we could
Speaker 1: do one for any healthcare workers or nurses or doctors
Speaker 1: or anyone working in hospitals in the yighborhood.
Speaker 2: I generally think people underestimate how these small gifts really
Speaker 2: make our days, particularly a nurse. To feel appreciated by
Speaker 2: the member of the community is a really big deal.
Speaker 2: I think, like even when a patient tells me how
Speaker 2: grateful they are that I've just been with them, it
Speaker 2: really makes your day and your week, and it reminds
Speaker 2: you of why you do the job. You know, it's
Speaker 2: hard sometimes when you look into the community and people
Speaker 2: are really liberal with how they take some of the restrictions, which.
Speaker 3: Is I get it. It's really hard. Like even me,
Speaker 3: I'm finding it hard.
Speaker 2: Everyone's got a bit of lockdown fatigue, and you know,
Speaker 2: people are protesting, and they're protesting for things they're really
Speaker 2: passionate about. And yeah, it's really hard to watch sometimes
Speaker 2: because you know that these things are just going to
Speaker 2: present or it's going to have adverse effects. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, we don't discriminate on who we treat,
Speaker 2: the job that we sign up on, the job that
Speaker 2: we agree to do in the trouble that we're passionate
Speaker 2: if the ab is to treat everyone that walks through
Speaker 2: that door with the same amount of patientcentive care and
Speaker 2: respect and passion, and that we would anyone despite why
Speaker 2: you've come in and how you've come in. So it's
Speaker 2: just hard to watch sometimes knowing that we're working really
Speaker 2: really hard around the clock to keep ourselves protected and
Speaker 2: also like our family is protected because obviously working with
Speaker 2: COVID positive patients, you're thinking about the implication of the
Speaker 2: family or the people that you live with, your friends,
Speaker 2: if you were to contract it through work, through having
Speaker 2: to work face to face with these people. And that's
Speaker 2: why there's so much PP is to protect us as
Speaker 2: much as possible to then protect our.
Speaker 3: Families and things like that as well. Yeah, we don't
Speaker 3: discriminate and who who treat when we walk through the door.
Speaker 2: So sometimes it's hard to watch a doctor I know
Speaker 2: have said has said the same thing. I think the
Speaker 2: reflection is pretty common throughout the whole of the healthcare
Speaker 2: system is that everyone's it's a little bit frustrating sometimes
Speaker 2: when you see big masses of people kind of flaunting
Speaker 2: rules because they can or because they feel like they
Speaker 2: can without realizing the effects that they have on the
Speaker 2: hospital system, and others.
Speaker 3: Kind of that are just trying really hard to keep
Speaker 3: it at day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think support from the community goes much further
Speaker 2: than people think that it does. Even just a simple
Speaker 2: message to say thanks is really it leads a really
Speaker 2: lasting impact because you can say thanks to each other
Speaker 2: within the healthcare system and that's really great. But to
Speaker 2: hear it from the outside, hear from the community, just
Speaker 2: it holds differently. Just you finally feel i think, appreciated
Speaker 2: by people that aren't in the job, which makes it
Speaker 2: even more special. So yeah, I think the gift idea
Speaker 2: is really really cute. Like we actually have your quote
Speaker 2: book in now gen Med office in the physia department.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a city. I'll take you. I'll take a
Speaker 3: photo of it.
Speaker 1: Andron sees the a ambassador Number one. We should get
Speaker 1: a commission on all the flipbooks later.
Speaker 3: All the.
Speaker 1: Commission of.
Speaker 3: Doing it that way.
Speaker 2: It's such a token of appreciation, but it's just like
Speaker 2: such a.
Speaker 3: Nice lit of thing.
Speaker 1: Well, I would love to send some of them out,
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking that, you know, maybe anyone who's
Speaker 1: listening who has who is a healthcare worker, or who
Speaker 1: has someone in their family. One of the things that
Speaker 1: sometimes is difficult is like pairing people who really want
Speaker 1: to help or who want to put it together, like
Speaker 1: Dana was saying, put together a little care package, but
Speaker 1: they don't know who to send it to or and
Speaker 1: like you can't send on mass. Like it's really lovely
Speaker 1: when people nominate people who they know are having a
Speaker 1: really hard time, who would never ask, and who it's
Speaker 1: not about like getting stuff, it's just who would love
Speaker 1: the gesture of like something nice or someone reaching out
Speaker 1: just to care for them. And I think if anyone's listening,
Speaker 1: and you can think of anyone who you know who's
Speaker 1: really been doing it tough, who could use a little
Speaker 1: quote book or a face mask or you know, We've
Speaker 1: been putting together gift packs for ages and I haven't
Speaker 1: sent one out in a while, So I'd love to
Speaker 1: send some out to targeted people who have lovely stories.
Speaker 1: So just send us a d M or an email
Speaker 1: or put it in the Facebook group with your nominations,
Speaker 1: because I'd love to send out.
Speaker 2: Would be really cute. And what you could also do
Speaker 2: is you could write a really big card. And I
Speaker 2: think what you should also do is give them a
Speaker 2: hundred dollars each and maybe.
Speaker 1: A car, yes, and maybe a vehicle. I think so too.
Speaker 2: You heard it here first, guys, guys, don't you worry.
Speaker 1: Did you also say nominations, because if you did, that's amazing.
Speaker 3: I did it, But let's pretend that I did.
Speaker 1: I totally heard nominations.
Speaker 3: Because photoshops a thing, isn't it. You can photoshop this.
Speaker 1: I can photoshop your entire Yeah, I can deep fake
Speaker 1: this whole episode. Guys, Andrew's even here. You're just me
Speaker 1: talking to myself with an filter. Another neighborhood watch at
Speaker 1: that I spotted while I was thinking about this issue
Speaker 1: a lot more, and I think it was live Olivia
Speaker 1: Molly Rodgers, who's also a past CSI I guest, who
Speaker 1: was in our first live show, and it's just such
Speaker 1: an amazing woman and has since announced the release of
Speaker 1: her book, which I'll talk all about later, but I
Speaker 1: think Live shared this page Nurse Moroan, who's created this movement.
Speaker 1: It's a hashtag voice for Victorian Nurses. And I've only
Speaker 1: just started following her because I only saw the post
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. That she's also been very
Speaker 1: passionately like singing the cause and being a voice for
Speaker 1: all the nurses who haven't really got a voice or
Speaker 1: who haven't been being seen or heard by everyone in
Speaker 1: the community. So go and have a look at her page.
Speaker 1: I'll share a link to her page in the show.
Speaker 1: Note she's fascinating it herself. She's a mental health advocate
Speaker 1: but has also had a prophilectic mystectomy. Like, she's got
Speaker 1: a really interesting story as well. Wow, yeah, as well
Speaker 1: as a very informative like it's look, it's really bright
Speaker 1: and colorful, and it's really because if you can see it,
Speaker 1: she's a pixel, so just look for a pixel out
Speaker 1: in the community. But she's really been amplifying nurses voices
Speaker 1: as well, and she shared a couple of articles from
Speaker 1: the media as well about it. So I think that's
Speaker 1: a really great educational platform, and I'm sure there's so
Speaker 1: many more. So anyone share them and I'll reshare them
Speaker 1: on the c z A page. I think it is
Speaker 1: really important to shout out the heroes of the of
Speaker 1: the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Maybe you could give some anonymous gifts to some of
Speaker 2: the voice for verses posts.
Speaker 1: Some of the nurse voices for nurses voices. I think
Speaker 1: you said voice for voice, like who's voices voice for
Speaker 1: nurses for voices for voices? You mean like a choir
Speaker 1: voice voice nurse voice. Also, this is the way our
Speaker 1: brains work. So we're having a serious conversation about yeah,
Speaker 1: the frontline workers. And I named this chat and only
Speaker 1: if you've listened to our past couple of episodes we
Speaker 1: understand this. I named this conversation Bimbi fooded and AND's
Speaker 1: name she named herself in the conversation. I still couldn't move.
Speaker 1: I only just noticed it.
Speaker 3: Then, this is so ongoing. It's never going to get old.
Speaker 1: It's just never not funny. But no one even do
Speaker 1: you know what though, I got a couple of messages
Speaker 1: last time from people who were like, who have started
Speaker 1: Japanese and understood why it was just so hilarious to us.
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, someone gets.
Speaker 2: You know, if anyone's wanting katakana lessons on offering my services.
Speaker 1: I've got a creative agency, Voice for Voices, Voice Voice Voice.
Speaker 1: Follow my page at Voice Nurse, Voice Voice Nurse, Nurse
Speaker 1: Score Nurse because I wasn't the first one, so I
Speaker 1: have to have an underscore.
Speaker 2: The What I was trying to say was you should
Speaker 2: go through the hashtag nurse Voice Voice nurse and see
Speaker 2: and then some anomous.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. You know the hashtag you can you.
Speaker 3: Can shout them out in some episodes.
Speaker 1: I think, oh wait, hold on, let's do it right now. Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: but what is the actual hashtag? This is your boy
Speaker 1: Voice Voice Nurse Nurse is a voice for nurses Voices?
Speaker 1: Is that actually what it is? I've just written boy
Speaker 1: Voice Nurse Nurse.
Speaker 3: Page.
Speaker 1: I've got California. Okay, that's not the right one.
Speaker 3: You're meant to be the well researched person.
Speaker 1: But you just told me the hashtag is voice Nurse
Speaker 1: Voice Voice Nurse, Voice for Noises.
Speaker 3: And it's all fart noises.
Speaker 1: You are all fart noises Voice for h There we go. Wait.
Speaker 1: Voice for Nurses has only got one hundred and five posts.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right one.
Speaker 3: You're the one that brought this up.
Speaker 1: No, you, This recording is proof that you just rot this.
Speaker 1: You just said you should. We'll figure what is the hashtag? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is your story?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, let's just backtrack about five minutes. You said,
Speaker 2: literally Rogers shared an amazing page.
Speaker 3: From a lady.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a that's an account then that I share? Okay, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: I get it now.
Speaker 3: This is literally our friendship.
Speaker 1: Boys four Victorian Nurses.
Speaker 2: I thought it was voice voice nurse nurse Victorian.
Speaker 1: Nurse voice noisee. Also, I got too keen to start
Speaker 1: this episode and just totally miss the fact that the
Speaker 1: main neighborhood watch very exciting event is that the Demons
Speaker 1: broke their fifty seven year drought and it was the
Speaker 1: most exciting Grand Final that I've watched in a really
Speaker 1: long time. What a game.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I was and was on her night shift and we
Speaker 1: were texting, like basically facetarving her the screen so she
Speaker 1: could keep ry, and she was already like.
Speaker 2: There for a ten hour work a night shift, and
Speaker 2: I decided that I'd get there two hours earlier, so
Speaker 2: I was there for way longer than I need to
Speaker 2: be so that I could watch it in the.
Speaker 3: Foyer of the waiting room when nobody was and.
Speaker 2: It was so close into halftime, and I was like,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a great game. And then I
Speaker 2: went up to do handover for like five minutes and
Speaker 2: Sarah's like the robbers sixty seven points or what it was,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the hell?
Speaker 3: But it was like I wanted the.
Speaker 2: Close game, but I wanted so much on Melbourne to win,
Speaker 2: just because it was such a I think you lock down,
Speaker 2: it's been you know, not it's hard, but it's been
Speaker 2: that would probably.
Speaker 3: Would rejoice so many people just like this, Yeah, even
Speaker 3: to non nmal supporters. I think it's just been such
Speaker 3: a good vibe, such a wholesome time.
Speaker 1: And it was so good that similar to the Olympics,
Speaker 1: like it's not the Grand Final that everyone wanted or that,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously not at the MCG is not the same.
Speaker 1: And my brother, what I mean, you know, I've seen
Speaker 1: him burst into tears maybe three times, and one was
Speaker 1: when we realized that we were enough goals up at
Speaker 1: three quarter time or in the fourth quarter. Sorry that
Speaker 1: it was like they couldn't come back, and he just
Speaker 1: lost it, like balling his eyes out, so thinking about
Speaker 1: people like him who have been following even through the
Speaker 1: really hard times when we were just at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the ladder, which was like only two years ago.
Speaker 1: So you know, knowing that he couldn't go and watch it,
Speaker 1: I think was really sad. But the fact that they
Speaker 1: went ahead and still did it and like gave that
Speaker 1: to everyone in lockdown. It was just like and Gorney's
Speaker 1: speech when he was talking about Neil Danaher and even
Speaker 1: like Troy Broadbridge and Jim Stein's and I shared a
Speaker 1: photo someone drove up to Dublin Hills and laid the
Speaker 1: demon scarf from his when he was playing the year
Speaker 1: that Jim Steins was playing and put it on his
Speaker 1: headstone for the Grand Final. And there's this really beautiful
Speaker 1: picture of it. Oh, so many feelings. It was so beautiful.
Speaker 3: You'd love this.
Speaker 2: Like as much as the hospital is obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: a pretty intense time at the minute ppe.
Speaker 3: Everyone looks like they're in apocalypse.
Speaker 2: People just remained so positive, like it's just great, Like
Speaker 2: you know, the physio office was still buzzing that it
Speaker 2: was Grand Final week and you know, celebrating the scars
Speaker 2: around and even you'd love this. The meals Team four
Speaker 2: Grand Final Day made like a meal wheels like meat pies,
Speaker 2: but that was like and they had like adaptable versions
Speaker 2: for people with obviously swallowing and learning different textures and
Speaker 2: things like that, but they still celebrated and everyone.
Speaker 3: Had like I think it was.
Speaker 2: I think they did pies and then it did I
Speaker 2: think they did confies or something like that, but they
Speaker 2: did something really grand final and related, so people could
Speaker 2: really yeah, like so the patients they could still feel
Speaker 2: the sense of like action with things going and happening.
Speaker 2: I think that's been one of the awesome things is
Speaker 2: that we like the hospital hasn't tried to close the
Speaker 2: patients from everything else happened in the world. Like for
Speaker 2: Father's Day, they gave like Father's Day theme like cookies
Speaker 2: or something like that, but they just try to keep
Speaker 2: it still fun and somewhat festive and in a you know,
Speaker 2: not the greatest time, especially when your hospital. The hospitals
Speaker 2: already a scary place to come because it means that
Speaker 2: you're not well, so like to still have a sense
Speaker 2: of happiness and excitement and celebration is a really I
Speaker 2: think that people probably don't think what I'm still doing
Speaker 2: and probably think it's a really more good place to go.
Speaker 2: And it's just like stress stress, stress stress everywhere, but
Speaker 2: it's still a really a positive and celebratory place. It's
Speaker 2: really cute to also see it all the way that
Speaker 2: people are working to try to make it still festive,
Speaker 2: like these meals.
Speaker 3: It's so cute.
Speaker 1: I love that they did pies. That's the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was so cute. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: So cute? I think like people laugh about when people
Speaker 1: say like AFL is such a connector and like you know,
Speaker 1: like it's such a it's a cause for uniting over humanity,
Speaker 1: but sport is it is such a connector, like the
Speaker 1: whole nation, except for obviously the rugby like rugby focused states,
Speaker 1: but even them, I think everyone was like so they pause.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a bloody public holiday for the Grand final,
Speaker 1: like just brought so many people joy to just see. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just loved it, loved it so much. It was
Speaker 1: so happy. I like to see my brother crying, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, he literally he was you know what he's
Speaker 1: like when he cries. He doesn't like there's not just
Speaker 1: like a straight tear. It's like he either shows no
Speaker 1: emotion for ten years or it's like shoulders shaking, like
Speaker 1: we didn't deserve it so much. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, what do I do? He's such a
Speaker 1: good boy.
Speaker 2: We didn't finish our Voice for Victorian Nurses initiative at
Speaker 2: the minute.
Speaker 1: I think we should do anonymous.
Speaker 3: Yes there's any.
Speaker 2: Posts of it like that particular particular I think actually
Speaker 2: people probably have used it but there on private.
Speaker 3: But perhaps we can just you can just keep.
Speaker 2: Checking that and then shout out some nurses that are
Speaker 2: using that and or get people to send in some
Speaker 2: nominations for gives.
Speaker 3: He has a really cute idea, and that way you can.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: I don't feel that's forgotten because you know, like last
Speaker 2: week and it was stressful. We weren't a little told
Speaker 2: not to go out in uniform in fear of being
Speaker 2: attacked because there was so much like violence out there
Speaker 2: and so much anks towards the healthcare system that it
Speaker 2: was dangerous for us to go out in uniform. You
Speaker 2: don't ever go into healthcare thinking like, yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be respected because I help people. You don't go
Speaker 2: and be like, respect me, but you're going being like, oh,
Speaker 2: surely you'd never be a hated.
Speaker 3: Part of society.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it's like, don't be
Speaker 2: uniform because you might be attacked. Is this Like you're
Speaker 2: just like, what is what is happening?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: People are you can't fathom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But at the same time, it's really hard to
Speaker 2: be angry at people other people for that because everyone's
Speaker 2: fighting there in adult here. Everyone's got something that they're
Speaker 2: really fighting for and passionate about, and it's just such
Speaker 2: strange times that you kind of have to be really
Speaker 2: contextual and really compassionate and really like it's sympathetic as
Speaker 2: much as you possibly can, even though you probably in
Speaker 2: your mind know that it's probably wasn't the smartest idea,
Speaker 2: or you know, it's for you personally. It's hard to
Speaker 2: understand why people are doing these things. But yeah, everyone's
Speaker 2: i think, got a lot of built up anger and frustration.
Speaker 2: And you know, we see people that come in and like,
Speaker 2: for example, there could be a positive COVID patient, but
Speaker 2: a single dad who works in.
Speaker 3: The construction industry with three kids at home.
Speaker 2: You know, there's stories like that, so you kind of
Speaker 2: understand why it gets hard for some people. And it's
Speaker 2: hard to understand other people's industries and under the people's
Speaker 2: lifestyles without really being in it. So yeah, it doesn't really,
Speaker 2: it doesn't excuse behavior that is attacking to people, to
Speaker 2: innocent people, but we can't really devalue other people's feelings
Speaker 2: and the things that they're going through as well, because
Speaker 2: it is we're done for everyone as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not just the only thing.
Speaker 2: I wanted to point out is that the frontline workers
Speaker 2: are so many people, Like the clerical stuff that help
Speaker 2: the system and the hospitals run. There was so much
Speaker 2: PP now, the clinical assistance, the theater technicians like they're
Speaker 2: helping getting patients out. There's so many people that are
Speaker 2: involved behind scenes together the wheels turning and everything safe
Speaker 2: and running.
Speaker 3: That I think it's nice to shout out the people that.
Speaker 2: Aren't necessarily normally thought about or recognized as frontline workers,
Speaker 2: for example, without the amazing clinical assistance and the staff,
Speaker 2: like we're in constant rotation of being to don and
Speaker 2: dof PPE and it needs to be discarded in the
Speaker 2: appropriate way, and no waste spins and things like that.
Speaker 2: So this is constant cycle of us stuffing and having
Speaker 2: to go somewhere and then we dof lee but then
Speaker 2: forget about it. And like some that's someone else's job,
Speaker 2: but their job is as equally as important as as
Speaker 2: ours or anyone else's is, because without them, it's not happening.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so many people involved behind.
Speaker 2: The scenes, that not just the ones that we know
Speaker 2: about in terms of prenounces and doctors and you know,
Speaker 2: Allied health. There's so many amazing people having the scenes,
Speaker 2: even the people in the kitchens making the food for
Speaker 2: the patients, making sure everyone's safe. We have PPE spotters
Speaker 2: where it's literally people designated to what you put.
Speaker 3: On PPE to make sure that it's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can actually like you can at times
Speaker 2: page a PPE spotter to come and watch you done
Speaker 2: and doff. So make sure that you are going in
Speaker 2: there completely like sealed, and then coming out taking it
Speaker 2: because there's a you have to done and doff in
Speaker 2: a like a real particular way take like take off.
Speaker 3: What did I say piphany again? So much?
Speaker 1: Did you have one piphanyf I've never heard that before.
Speaker 1: Is that the opposite of donning? And oh my god,
Speaker 1: how weird is it when a particular situation arises in
Speaker 1: society where we all just learned this like random word
Speaker 1: that we never knew was a thing. Like we all
Speaker 1: know don your clothes, but doff what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a word. I think we say it so much.
Speaker 2: I was like so mean to realize it. Obviously it's
Speaker 2: not you say, I don't.
Speaker 1: Just doff your jacket when you run inside? Please? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like choose you know you just in my face? Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad no one can say my face. But
Speaker 1: Andre's like having this really serious reflection and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: did you just say dof?
Speaker 3: You were like that meme of.
Speaker 2: That guy who's like holding his lips together but his
Speaker 2: cheeks are like about to burst because he's trying to
Speaker 2: hold in.
Speaker 1: The Harry Potter one where it's like when Draco says
Speaker 1: Potter Potter.
Speaker 2: Random roll is coming up of just people having to
Speaker 2: do things to cover the ins and make sure everyone's safe.
Speaker 3: Like whood's not your job. You'd like as a physio,
Speaker 3: you'd be ppe spotting, like watching people put on and
Speaker 3: off Ppe.
Speaker 2: But it's a really important role because like if you're
Speaker 2: not wearing it properly, it kind of defeats the purpose.
Speaker 3: It doesn't really keep it very safe.
Speaker 2: And then there's also people in the check in at
Speaker 2: the front of the hospital making sure that people are
Speaker 2: checking in when they're in and when we're going out,
Speaker 2: and temperature checking, and yeah, there's just so many people
Speaker 2: involved in I guess the front line that people don't
Speaker 2: think of normally. So I think it's a really big
Speaker 2: shout out for people that are doing that as well.
Speaker 2: If you're out there and listening, and thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much well guys for your nominations. It definitely doesn't have
Speaker 1: to just be a nurse or a doctor. It can
Speaker 1: definitely be anyone who's working in hospitals and who has
Speaker 1: been having a hard time. So please make sure that
Speaker 1: if you're listening and you can think of anyone, I
Speaker 1: would really love to send out some little care packages.
Speaker 1: So do let us know through the very many different
Speaker 1: ways you can send me a message and I'll make
Speaker 1: sure to send those out because that would be such
Speaker 1: a lovely thing to do. I don't know about you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I get such a rush of motivation and energy
Speaker 1: to keep learning and upskilling when I hear from our
Speaker 1: guests each week if you're feeling the same, I am
Speaker 1: so thrilled to share that I'm hosting a free small
Speaker 1: business boot camp series presented by our partner in Ya PayPal,

Speaker 1: we finish up. Because people generally come here for the
Speaker 1: random banter you and I. Have you seen anything else

Speaker 1: you've done it homework eska yapism, I.
Speaker 2: Have four select if you're in with your ya.
Speaker 1: Not with everything I say to you.
Speaker 3: Bless yang together.
Speaker 1: I'm so like, I just try, though, It's like, why
Speaker 1: do I keep trying? It's so bad?
Speaker 3: But what you do is you do it and then
Speaker 3: you goim, did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Do you get it? I put
Speaker 1: ya in there? Did you get it? You get your
Speaker 1: seat again?
Speaker 3: But your yeah, it's so obvious. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're
Speaker 3: It just rolls off the.
Speaker 2: It just rolls off the time. Okay, So I said this,
Speaker 2: I've been following. I'm just trying to find it on
Speaker 2: TikTok okay. Sorry, her name is Emily Zugay like spot.
Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, right, I'm getting TikTok open Emily.
Speaker 3: Z Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I said this, and Nick in hysterics being
Speaker 2: like you need to watch it, like you cannot give
Speaker 2: me a hat hat pretending that you've watched it without
Speaker 2: watching out, so you need to watch this. Even screen
Speaker 2: recorded me watching it so he didn't have to open
Speaker 2: the link so that he would watch it right anyway,
Speaker 2: So she has done this.
Speaker 3: Thing where I been watched like the fourth video No.
Speaker 2: One, one, two, three, four five video with like the
Speaker 2: Adobe thing.
Speaker 1: So she yeah, that's go on, let me watch it.
Speaker 3: I thought needed help after going through the comments.
Speaker 4: A lot of large brands reached out to me for
Speaker 4: a new logo, so I said, yes, I couldn't get
Speaker 4: to all of them, but I guess I'd be willing
Speaker 4: to make another video if you guys want to see
Speaker 4: those without further ado. Here's some of my redesigns. First,
Speaker 4: we're starting with Nascar. I don't like this whole tilt
Speaker 4: that's going on, and these lines are all very inconsistent.
Speaker 4: I just think overall, it's a really bad logo. This
Speaker 4: is my redesign. I wanted to make it look like
Speaker 4: the words were flying through the air at a very
Speaker 4: fast speed. Overall is just more sophisticated as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, so she does.
Speaker 2: These mockery like she's like, I'm a pasteliographic designer and
Speaker 2: I find it and you think this is gonna be
Speaker 2: this amazing redesign and it's like made on paint, Like
Speaker 2: she's just such a mockery, but she doesn't. So the
Speaker 2: funniest part of this bit if you look into the comments, right, look.
Speaker 1: Into the comment I tell if she's serious or not.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, look into the.
Speaker 2: Comments and the big brands that she changed or changed
Speaker 2: their profiles of the logos that they made for her,
Speaker 2: Like look at Amazon. Amazon changed it to Amazon with
Speaker 2: a box because she designed.
Speaker 1: It that way, and like all these.
Speaker 2: Big brands, and like Detroit Lions have lines like they
Speaker 2: printed it on T shirts and put it and wore
Speaker 2: it on the game. Tam PACs like fully changed their
Speaker 2: profile photo and there's like her head in it of.
Speaker 1: Her God has got her face. McDon champion, help we
Speaker 1: need a new one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you look at McDonald's on that one
Speaker 2: that with the Adobe profile photo, you're gonna comments McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Her redesign was like, I don't understand why the M
Speaker 2: is emphasized, So I emphasized that. Oh so the McDonald's listen,
Speaker 2: Oh you can't.
Speaker 1: I don't say I can see it's like McDon.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, but it's just ongoing.
Speaker 2: So she did like one two, like four or five
Speaker 2: videos of it with a bunch of brands, and Washington
Speaker 2: Post changed it. Amazon changed it, but it went like
Speaker 2: they just went the next level. So Amazon recently sent
Speaker 2: her a package with the new branding that she made,
Speaker 2: and it's also she s got Amazon, Ama, S and
Speaker 2: so with a little box underneath it, because she's like,
Speaker 2: I figured they worked with boxes, so this is a square.
Speaker 1: The Jonah's brothers just said, can we can you do
Speaker 1: one for ours?
Speaker 3: Someone legit so like.
Speaker 2: But they've actually gone the next step these brands. I
Speaker 2: think it's a really smart marketing move and changed it
Speaker 2: knowing it's this big trend. And if you look at
Speaker 2: the most recent posts, it's the Detroit Lions printing her
Speaker 2: merch and inviting her and she had created these lines
Speaker 2: and called it Detroit Lions. Anyway, I have just been
Speaker 2: in hysterics following the whole thing of how it's all
Speaker 2: evolved and what brands are doing about it. So Amazon
Speaker 2: sent her a package with Amazon Amazon the new branding
Speaker 2: on tape. They gave her a gift card with the
Speaker 2: new logo.
Speaker 1: On it her Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Amazon Tiblet, Like it just was. It's just like it
Speaker 3: was so honestly, like it just when.
Speaker 1: Brands do that, they did throw out all the rules
Speaker 1: of like being too serious and taking everything too seriously,
Speaker 1: and like when NAB changed their thing to jab, I
Speaker 1: was like so clever, like so clever serious though, like
Speaker 1: does she is she is she taking the piece or
Speaker 1: is she actually taking because she looks so serious.
Speaker 2: It's like it's funny because like she's done other videos
Speaker 2: as well where it's like all apparody. She's like, let me,
Speaker 2: I'm a really passionate cooker. Let me show you how
Speaker 2: to make ice. First, fill up three cps of water
Speaker 2: and it's cps because you know on those measuring cups
Speaker 2: the letters rub off.
Speaker 3: And it just had was like go up to the line.
Speaker 2: That's just three cps, pour it into a blender, blend
Speaker 2: your water should be this consistency, blend your.
Speaker 3: Like how to make ice.
Speaker 2: So I was watching she's just she's really good comedy.
Speaker 2: She's just done really really well. So I highly highly
Speaker 2: recommend going through all of her previous posts because it's
Speaker 2: just really funny. Like if you need a laugh. I've
Speaker 2: been laughing at this account for the last week or two.
Speaker 2: It's just and following this.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: Can I just quickly add one in? Also, this one's
Speaker 1: just related to this one, to her one, but more serious.
Speaker 1: So a kid in Tennessee. I don't know where I
Speaker 1: saw this, but a kid in Tennessee got made fun of.
Speaker 1: So he homemade a University of Tennessee T shirt. Like
Speaker 1: he drew a little drawing and he got really bullied
Speaker 1: for it. And because it's like, you know, a really
Speaker 1: diy home version of the T shirt. And when they
Speaker 1: found out that he got bullied about it, they made
Speaker 1: the T shirt their official T shirt. The whole band
Speaker 1: wore the shirt. Sixteen thousand shirts was sold, and the
Speaker 1: university he gave him a free four year scholarship.
Speaker 3: Stop.
Speaker 1: So like the lovely version of him redesigning the logo.
Speaker 2: Look, oh my gosh, I need to start redesigning things
Speaker 2: so I can get four yours.
Speaker 1: So the seas the logo is going to be, like.
Speaker 3: I said, it's really small javo, really.
Speaker 1: Tiny, big value big.
Speaker 3: Or in order that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what's your other one?
Speaker 2: My other one is like a feel good account that
Speaker 2: I have. I don't generally follow YouTube pages like religiously
Speaker 2: because I am actually a YouTuber myself as my beauty
Speaker 2: blog as you would know, I'm actually currently.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, can we just give you a shout out
Speaker 1: like comment, subscribe and just beauty channel.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: My beauty blog has really taken a hit in this
Speaker 2: coronavirus time, so my followers have gone down three hundred
Speaker 2: percent from three to zero, so it's really tough.
Speaker 1: Actually, you haven't done a toothpaste video since my wedding.
Speaker 2: I know, but I feel like a little bit I'm betraying.
Speaker 2: I feel like a little bit of a if I
Speaker 2: could say it's not g but brand whole with my
Speaker 2: toothbrush branding, because I've used two different.
Speaker 3: Brands now and I feel like one way really.
Speaker 1: It'll tip them over. You're not loyal.
Speaker 2: No, I'm speaking to my solicitor today though, just to say,
Speaker 2: but I can.
Speaker 3: See what I can do about the contracts.
Speaker 2: AnyWho, Squirmy and Grubs is their name, so you know me,
Speaker 2: I love love. But you can also look up Shane
Speaker 2: Burkle on Instagram Shane Burkele b u are c a
Speaker 2: w W four.
Speaker 1: Wally Oh Kid squaremy and grubs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, So they're an interabled couple and I love
Speaker 2: everything about it. They are like, so he's got SMA,
Speaker 2: which is spinal muscular atrophy. I think that's what stands
Speaker 2: for now, damn it. It presentially as atrophy of his muscles,
Speaker 2: and they just continue to like atrophy is kind of
Speaker 2: like when it breaks down, he just will continually get
Speaker 2: weaker pretty much for the rest of his life.
Speaker 3: So he's in a wheelchair. It's an electric wheelchair.
Speaker 2: He has a lot of contractions all around his body,
Speaker 2: so his kneeza and his hips are very much always bent.
Speaker 2: But he's I think there's misunderstanding that he's he is disabled,
Speaker 2: but misunderstanding that he can't do things for himself and
Speaker 2: be independent and be very much cognitively intact and really
Speaker 2: smart and really funny and do the things.
Speaker 3: That we do, you know.
Speaker 2: So I just love the fact that two people with
Speaker 2: such different abilities, Like she's fully able to swimmer.
Speaker 3: Like really clever, really beautiful. He's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 2: And they've just recently got married, and it is like
Speaker 2: the most beautiful relationship because it's just that the whole
Speaker 2: thing of like non discriminatory unconditional love despite what you are,
Speaker 2: what you look like, and like I've loved following them
Speaker 2: because their video is, like he's hilarious.
Speaker 3: He is so witty, like he's like he works and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like he works, he writes he's done his
Speaker 2: help with the script on a new TV show in
Speaker 2: the US, Like he's really successful. He's amazing. But their
Speaker 2: relationship I think defies.
Speaker 3: A lot of social norms and I was.
Speaker 2: Just really refreshing to see just love at its rawest
Speaker 2: without like you know, other things involved, without other I
Speaker 2: think she had some backlash. She people thought she had
Speaker 2: ulterior motive to be with him because people couldn't understand
Speaker 2: why you would be with someone disabled. But I think
Speaker 2: it's really completely fair and completely I guess rude to
Speaker 2: judge about or even say it will think like it's
Speaker 2: just yeah, I'm a sucker for love, and I love
Speaker 2: that they have this beautiful relationship, stronger than anyone that
Speaker 2: I've ever seen, to be honest.
Speaker 1: Like except you and I obviously I'm so supportive, but.
Speaker 2: I'm just like you, this is amazing, Like I have
Speaker 2: just so much respect.
Speaker 3: For both of you.

Speaker 2: unconditional They've.
Speaker 1: Got a charity as well, laughing at my nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's Shane's charity. But if you watch over

Speaker 3: So like frank about it all and it's just funny.
Speaker 3: But it gave really a good, nice.
Speaker 2: Insight into how we treat and talk about people with disability.
Speaker 2: So as much as it's a really great challenge to
Speaker 2: watch for laughter, I would laugh at every time I
Speaker 2: watch any of them, you learn a lot about how
Speaker 2: there's a lot of disadvantage or unfair treatment of people
Speaker 2: with disability in terms of how we can I'm like, subconsciously,
Speaker 2: I guess say and do things that yeah, without second thought,
Speaker 2: that actually have a negative impact on people with disability,
Speaker 2: like for example, I.
Speaker 1: And have like pre judgments about exactly what we can
Speaker 1: come to you.
Speaker 2: But like, for example, I used to think that the
Speaker 2: word disabled was like I felt uncomfortable saying because it
Speaker 2: felt like somewhat aggressive in a way, like you just
Speaker 2: it sounded like condescending. But through them, I learned that
Speaker 2: disabled you trying to use other.
Speaker 3: Words to try to is worse.
Speaker 2: Cush, the blow of disabled makes it worse because then
Speaker 2: you're like making this disability or negative thing. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to find more positive ways to say disabled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they just you just say disabled.
Speaker 2: Things like accessibility as well, Like they were saying people
Speaker 2: need a bb list their houses and say it's accessible
Speaker 2: and there's photos of.
Speaker 3: Like sixteen steps to get in and like how they're
Speaker 3: going to get in.
