Speaker 1: Is it true?
Speaker 2: After you moved you like, oh the insights, I'm looking
Speaker 2: as good as the history.
Speaker 1: You know what, though, I think half of it is
Speaker 1: just me overthinking things, like nobody wants me anybody. But
Speaker 1: it's nice to know that I'm mad as to some
Speaker 1: people like you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do matter, and you're still on the circuit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're still doing things, getting getting there again. You haven't

Speaker 3: getting ready for my next move, you know. And we
Speaker 3: are excited about the next move, hate some every episode

Speaker 3: home is to you, whether that's where you currently stay,
Speaker 3: where you were raised, what is home and what do
Speaker 3: you love about it? Alyssa and I will start off
Speaker 3: with what we love about home this week, And what
Speaker 3: I love about home is whenever there's like a family gathering,
Speaker 3: so a Christmas or an Easter, you have that one
Speaker 3: cousin who you can just unload on and you can
Speaker 3: tell them more the family tea. Nothing's going to get out.
Speaker 3: You guys are like two peas and a while everyone
Speaker 3: else is doing their little thing. That's what I love
Speaker 3: about home. I've got. Actually, I like to think that
Speaker 3: I'm like the the bridging cousin between everyone else.
Speaker 1: Your glue. I am the glue. I am the glue.
Speaker 2: Actually you kind of are actually from what I've seen
Speaker 2: of your family dynamic very.
Speaker 3: Switzerland because you know me, I'm a fense citizen. I
Speaker 3: don't like taking sides. So everyone can feel free to
Speaker 3: come to me rant vents as they please, and then
Speaker 3: they can walk away knowing that I'm not going to
Speaker 3: spread dirish because I'm just that kind of guy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: So Marini used to not be a Switzerland.
Speaker 1: I used to be a hater. Here we go.
Speaker 2: But I'm wondering when people are venting to you, do
Speaker 2: you take a side in your head?
Speaker 1: No, I don't, even you don't even take a side.
Speaker 2: Of your head anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I think what happens, It's become so entrenched. Gee
Speaker 1: was yeah, I don't know was what was the turning point? When?
Speaker 1: When did it all click? Because I need to know
Speaker 1: because I'm a hater.
Speaker 2: But I'm a hater. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I love to hate, like can you Clement?
Speaker 2: But it's not my colleague, you are what happens your
Speaker 2: friend will lobe.
Speaker 3: No, I actually got a lobotomy, you know. Mean I'm
Speaker 3: so passive right now. I remember when I used to
Speaker 3: like make these big moves and yeah.
Speaker 2: It used to be worse than me. And now I'm
Speaker 2: just completely Yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about Home this week? What
Speaker 1: do you love about home this week?
Speaker 2: Girl? It's controversial, it's a hot take, but I'm loving
Speaker 2: Weymouth Beach.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay? Explained to us please, I would love
Speaker 1: to know this.
Speaker 2: I just feel like I wish I want a mission
Speaker 2: to make many deal a walkable city because I don't
Speaker 2: drive him. I don't have a license of any kind,
Speaker 2: so it's either walking or it's public transport. And with
Speaker 2: the beautiful spring weather we've been having, just been so
Speaker 2: nice to get out. They go for a walk. So
Speaker 2: I feel like anywhere that I can go. This includes
Speaker 2: like the gardens, Nathan Homestead, anywhere that doesn't feel like
Speaker 2: it's just like a concrete jungle, which sometimes to me
Speaker 2: money deal. I can feel just like concrete. Yes, anywhere
Speaker 2: I can go that doesn't feel like that is ideal,
Speaker 2: which is Waymouth Beach. But you have to hold your
Speaker 2: nose the entire time because it does kind of smell
Speaker 2: a little bit. But it's kind of got a bit
Speaker 2: of like Clinton Gin say quiet. You know, there's just
Speaker 2: something about it. That's what I love about the news.
Speaker 3: There are good I will say the best sun sense
Speaker 3: because we have a friend but Ussie who lives quite close.
Speaker 2: Yeah technically, but I personally wouldn't because I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: it used to not be that color for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, we Mouth Beeach is interesting. You know,
Speaker 1: like I just this is upbreaking noose. Had my first
Speaker 1: patch there.
Speaker 3: First.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a little there's a little kind of
Speaker 1: you know, seating arrangement. You know, it's just on the
Speaker 1: little cliff there. You probably will past and go damn,
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking are going to remember this. They
Speaker 1: had the first patch then I was five years old.
Speaker 1: It was island was clinging room. Sorry, sorry my bad.
Speaker 1: I started. How many people make that? Can we start?
Speaker 1: I had no I used to go bad. I used
Speaker 1: to love going to like Weymouth Beach and just jumping
Speaker 1: in the water when I was younger. But then it's
Speaker 1: just so close to the airport. It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on here. But I think they cleaned
Speaker 1: it up and they looked after a little bit more.
Speaker 1: They got like, yeah, this there is that that little cove.
Speaker 1: But then you go over to the waddle Downs area. Yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1: That check is really nice. But for Taranaki, like going
Speaker 1: back home, it's just the moment. Man, Like that singer
Speaker 1: is in press and every morning and you don't actually
Speaker 1: see it all the time because it's under you know,
Speaker 1: like it just gets cloaked. Let's put puts us call
Speaker 1: a y on and you can't see it, and then
Speaker 1: it just you wake up in the morning and it's
Speaker 1: just there just looking at you. It's beautiful.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's that's my and you know, I feel I
Speaker 1: feel my two I feel that's where I'm from and
Speaker 1: it's Yeah. It was probably one of the best moves
Speaker 1: I made in my life was to pick up, you know,
Speaker 1: everything I moved, moved my my family and my my
Speaker 1: kids and my Missa's down there. Yeah. So it's been
Speaker 1: really nice. Have you you guys have been back to.
Speaker 2: Someone I was really really young, but may As went
Speaker 2: back recently.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went in January and I'll be there again
Speaker 1: in December.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you feel it straight when you get off
Speaker 3: the plane, I would say, can you feel a sense
Speaker 3: of grounding That is just indescribable.
Speaker 1: Actually, it makes you feel like maybe magic is real,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like all these things is
Speaker 1: like nah, but when you actually feel it, you haven't
Speaker 1: felt for a long time. I went back to telling
Speaker 1: for the first time in like ten years. I had
Speaker 1: a speaking arrangement in or two New Plymouth and I
Speaker 1: touched down and I thought, oh, yeah, it is what
Speaker 1: this is where I'm from. The minute I got off
Speaker 1: the plane, I saw the mountain and I just was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: what the hell is happening to me? You know? And
Speaker 1: then that's when the wheel started getting the motion, like
Speaker 1: maybe we should think about moving down here. That was
Speaker 1: the moment and it's cheaper it live down here, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is, it is. There is the thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, and I can't wait
Speaker 1: for you to go back and you can see what
Speaker 1: you can kind of you can't even like describe it.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can, you'll feel it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I received my mud little earlier this year, and
Speaker 2: that seems like that magical feeling so strong. I'm going
Speaker 2: back in February, so that would tri start my PhD.
Speaker 2: So I feel like it would be a really good
Speaker 2: grounding experience before quite at you.
Speaker 1: Know what that's I love that flex doing my pH
Speaker 1: You better keep flicking there. Could say that nobody and
Speaker 1: you know, it's not even it's not even about having it.
Speaker 1: It's around the discipline of care, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That takes a lot of hard work and discipline to
Speaker 1: get to get there, because once you finish, like I've
Speaker 1: got my degree in teaching. Once I got there, I
Speaker 1: was like, there's no way I'm going back. I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm not going back. And then you look at people
Speaker 1: that are go making like what the hell is going
Speaker 1: wrong with you?
Speaker 2: I know I do have moments of doubt where I'm like,
Speaker 2: am I really going to do this? And I'm like no,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sit on it. I think I'm going to
Speaker 2: do it, and then you flicks on us like this,
Speaker 2: oh man, and you know we're about there life.
Speaker 1: Like this, thank you?
Speaker 2: Do you miss aland at all I kind of do.
Speaker 1: There is a little bit of fomo, I suppose because
Speaker 1: I was so I was on the go a lot
Speaker 1: up here, Like I was seven days a week up
Speaker 1: doing breakfast radios, finish doing breakfast radio, go to sky,
Speaker 1: do crowdgos, wild, edit my own socials, do the bakery,
Speaker 1: run do the you know. I was just so on
Speaker 1: the go, and it was almost like I was masking,
Speaker 1: like I used that work to mask, you know, how
Speaker 1: much that I missed my family. And then once I
Speaker 1: actually got home, then I realized, you know, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it was masking, and I missed my kids a lot,
Speaker 1: and now I get to be with them. It's it's beautiful,
Speaker 1: it's so nice. Yeah, it's very yeah, but I do miss.
Speaker 1: I sit back and I look at opportunities that like, man,
Speaker 1: that could have been me, you know, oh man, I
Speaker 1: could have been a line for something like that, or
Speaker 1: oh man, that was really cool. That they did that.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to be a part of that.
Speaker 1: But it all kind of goes away and it flies away,
Speaker 1: and it floats away. When I get to take my
Speaker 1: son to school, Yeah, and I get and I get
Speaker 1: to pick him, you know, walk him home, and he
Speaker 1: tells me about all the drama's going on in his life.
Speaker 1: And same with my partner when she's telling me about
Speaker 1: you know, what's going on in her world, where it's
Speaker 1: different when it was just on you know, Facebook or
Speaker 1: over FaceTime. But yeah, it kind of all floats away
Speaker 1: and it's it's yeah, it's all worth it now.
Speaker 2: When it comes to media and like social media gigs,
Speaker 2: we have found they're not super paid amazingly well, and
Speaker 2: they're also they can be quite energy consuming. So a
Speaker 2: lot of the time it really is a labor of love.
Speaker 2: Like we say, like iraw is like our little baby,
Speaker 2: and it's like our passion. It's the thing we love
Speaker 2: the most. How do you maintain the passion for all
Speaker 2: the copoppa that you do, or like each copepa when
Speaker 2: you're like, frek, this is so energy consuming. I don't
Speaker 2: know how to how to balance it all.
Speaker 1: I think in terms of like like your passion projects
Speaker 1: what you guys are saying, like you'll find a way
Speaker 1: Like I know that sounds really like you know, combayra
Speaker 1: about it, but like I found a passion for interfering
Speaker 1: people because I go, Okay, I'm going to try this podcast.
Speaker 1: Then it started getting a little bit of momentum and
Speaker 1: I was like cool, I'm just going to keep doing
Speaker 1: it because I love it. And it's really about finding
Speaker 1: what you love and just sticking with it. Like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people and like what you actually love,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, some people that go, oh,
Speaker 1: I love this, but in actuality are you will you like, well,
Speaker 1: you do everything in your power to make this happen.
Speaker 1: Like there's a couple of things like in my life,
Speaker 1: like I started off as a basketball coach. I love basketball.
Speaker 1: It was my heart and software as as long as
Speaker 1: I can remember. And I got to a point where
Speaker 1: it was like cool, like is the game Like I
Speaker 1: love the game, but is it loving me back enough
Speaker 1: and enough especially enough to like support my family? And
Speaker 1: it did for a long time, Like I was, you know,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of basketball coaching for five years.
Speaker 1: I was that was my main thing. And then I
Speaker 1: was like no, but the genesis of that was connecting
Speaker 1: with kids and helping them get to where they need
Speaker 1: to get to. And then that was my teaching rule.
Speaker 1: So I was like cool, at least I still get
Speaker 1: to do that. And but like, yeah, if you actually
Speaker 1: really love something like it, just like you'll just find
Speaker 1: a way to make it work. Like you know, like
Speaker 1: I love interviewing people. I absolutely love it. And you know,
Speaker 1: like being on the radio, like it was a little
Speaker 1: bit of that big because you know, like you have
Speaker 1: three minutes to interview someone. It's not enough, you know,
Speaker 1: but you still get a little bit of this, a
Speaker 1: little bit of that. And then I got to be
Speaker 1: on the CRUG as well, which is you know, like
Speaker 1: funny interviews, which is what I was really good at.
Speaker 1: So you know, like it And it's weird how the
Speaker 1: universe kind of like rewards you for that, Like if
Speaker 1: you love something so much and you don't let anything
Speaker 1: like affect it and you just keep through all the
Speaker 1: highs and nose, you just keep going with it. Yes,
Speaker 1: so somehow we will repay you somehow, And it's cool, man,
Speaker 1: Like it's it and you know, like this is that
Speaker 1: whole manifesting stuff, and that's a true thing, like if
Speaker 1: you put it out there, but if you put it
Speaker 1: out there and you don't work out at it, and
Speaker 1: like regardless of what people say, you know, Like I've
Speaker 1: had heaps people like hey, like you interviewing your mates
Speaker 1: and I was like nah, but like just you know,
Speaker 1: just hold up. I'm getting I'm crafting. I'm I'm shoppening
Speaker 1: my Samurai with Katana, right, and then when the opportunity comes, man,
Speaker 1: it's going to be ready and it'll be ready for
Speaker 1: me to slice it. And I'm living proof of that.
Speaker 1: Like I had the bakery run and that was me
Speaker 1: just interviewing people eating pies, and then like I just
Speaker 1: use that to get better being in front of camera.
Speaker 1: I use that to be better at talking to people,
Speaker 1: to relating, to be able to host something, to be
Speaker 1: able to wrap things up, to find common interest with
Speaker 1: people when I'm when I'm talking, and also to audience.
Speaker 1: And then I got that Katina wished up enough that
Speaker 1: when I got an opportunity or crowd go as well. Man,
Speaker 1: I was straight Leonardo, Man, I was Ninja turtling it up.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what's so cool about this is that
Speaker 1: you guys are connecting with so many a vast array
Speaker 1: of like guess and you're only it's just repetition, like
Speaker 1: you're just getting better and that's cool man, like and
Speaker 1: because you love it, it's gonna just keep getting better
Speaker 1: and better. Yeah, there will be no, oh, got another
Speaker 1: podcast to do. It's like, nah, cool man, we got
Speaker 1: We've got such and such on this one, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, and even like I know that you
Speaker 1: guys knows having to get guests on and that's hard.
Speaker 1: But then you start figuring out how to you know,
Speaker 1: invest time into people that when you ask them, you
Speaker 1: know it's not favor exchanging, but when you're like cool man,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh hell yeah. Like with me, I'm like
Speaker 1: I get asked to do podcast a lot, but like
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you actually love it or are you
Speaker 1: just doing it to get somewhere? And I can tell
Speaker 1: like with you guys, like man, that's why I was like,
Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah, you love what I love? You know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was a long answer.
Speaker 3: No, that was great, but man, it's giving. Mister UGGI,
Speaker 3: I felt like just some power waxed that ax.
Speaker 2: You spoke about the idea of opportunity and opportunities pretending themselves.
Speaker 2: We have suffered a lot in the past, not anymore,
Speaker 2: but a lot in the past from like imposter syndromes,
Speaker 2: even something that you've felt like when an opportunity came,
Speaker 2: we like, oh, I'm definitely not ready for that, but
Speaker 2: I'll give it a go.
Speaker 1: An you out er man. I So my one of
Speaker 1: my very first like real jobs was that Charli Euston
Speaker 1: family in Weymouth, right at the boys' home. So this
Speaker 1: is like the top two percent of kids. There are
Speaker 1: just the naughtiest kids that you know, they're not naughty,
Speaker 1: they misunderstood, yeah, right, and there their products of their
Speaker 1: environment and their upbringing. And you know, like to I
Speaker 1: was young, I was like twenty years old and these
Speaker 1: kids are like sixteen seventeen, right, they weren't too they
Speaker 1: weren't too younger than me. And I figured out, like
Speaker 1: I just have to put an old ego on. I
Speaker 1: have to go in and it's not a fakeness. It's
Speaker 1: like this is me but turned up, and I need
Speaker 1: to play this role really well. And if I can
Speaker 1: play this role, then I'll be fine and I can
Speaker 1: get through the shift. None of these kids are going
Speaker 1: to try and throw chairs at me. And I'm not
Speaker 1: going in there like, oh, you know, like to be
Speaker 1: all tough. I'm in there to go okay, I'm psychologically
Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay. You know. I'm here to work
Speaker 1: for you. You're here to work for me. We're here
Speaker 1: to coexist in this place, and there's really rough environment,
Speaker 1: but we're here to co let's work together. And that
Speaker 1: was that was the genesis for me, because I would like,
Speaker 1: I would pretend I was the rock, right because the
Speaker 1: rock was so witty and quickly and he had to
Speaker 1: think on his toes all the time. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do the people's elbow and all that stuff. I
Speaker 1: wasn't here to mock anybody, but I was here to
Speaker 1: be charismatic, likable, and also be strong and firm with stuff.
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna mess with me. We can be friends,
Speaker 1: but we could be friendly, but we're not friends, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And that was that was the
Speaker 1: moment when I was like, cool, I know how to
Speaker 1: turn this mask on and off. And there's so many times,
Speaker 1: like there's been times where I'm like, there's no way
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here like I'm like, I was at the
Speaker 1: USC two nine three, and I'm sitting there and there's
Speaker 1: like all these ESPN analysts and Dana White's there, and
Speaker 1: like all these people are in this room and there's
Speaker 1: this kid from Clinton that like legit shouldn't be there,
Speaker 1: you know, And but I put the mask on, like nah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here and I'm going to kill like and
Speaker 1: so I developed that skill and I put it on
Speaker 1: when I need it, And and Kraug's was exactly the same,
Speaker 1: like every time they were like, cool, we're out, we're
Speaker 1: doing vox pops. Sweet, put that mask on. I need
Speaker 1: to be charismatic. I need to be funny, I need
Speaker 1: to be witty, and I need to be strong. And yeah,
Speaker 1: that was my that was my go to. I watched
Speaker 1: a lot of wrestling growing up, so I was like,
Speaker 1: I know the rocks. He would say something lightless and yeah,
Speaker 1: it was it was my I don't want to say
Speaker 1: coping mechanism, but it was the way that it was
Speaker 1: my armor. Yeah. So the inside, like you know, Tom normally,
Speaker 1: you know, would be if some kid goes up to
Speaker 1: him and says, man, if you're not telling me to
Speaker 1: go to fucking beard can I, Yeah, I can't tell
Speaker 1: me to go to fucking bed. And then I'm sitting
Speaker 1: there like in my head, I was like, get your
Speaker 1: fucking ass and bed. I put the mask on, and
Speaker 1: I was like, brother, I know you want to go
Speaker 1: to bed. You need to go to bed with your
Speaker 1: cranky ass. I would start doing stuff like then I
Speaker 1: got really good at it, and then yeah, I just
Speaker 1: continued it through teaching and through through you know, coaching
Speaker 1: as well, and yeah, and then to the day. I
Speaker 1: was like, it's like when you go on ere, you
Speaker 1: just put this mask on and you're like, cool, I
Speaker 1: need to be we'll see and charismatic in the way
Speaker 1: I went. Yeah, And it's not like it's not like
Speaker 1: one of those alter ego things. No, it's just like
Speaker 1: I turn it on, turn it off kind of a dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We always say like, obviously it's us on the podcast,
Speaker 2: but it's just like a maybe like a more elevated
Speaker 2: version of us. We're not really like this engaged in
Speaker 2: real life, like whoa, you know.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's just like a little bit different. But you
Speaker 1: do see that, like I mean I've seen it. I
Speaker 1: see it out in the landscape, like there are people
Speaker 1: like you know, it will turn on and will turn off,
Speaker 1: but like sometimes with the turn when the mask comes on,
Speaker 1: you just think, oh that's a bit that's a bit weird.
Speaker 2: Well that's completely different.
Speaker 1: But I know it's just turned up a little bit
Speaker 1: with some some skill abilities. It's not like I'm a
Speaker 1: different person. Yeah, but with like crowd is as a
Speaker 1: perfect example, because like I'm you know, I'm at the
Speaker 1: Warriors game for the whole game, but I know that
Speaker 1: it's only going to be one minute forty clip right
Speaker 1: or two minutes if I'm lucky. So my job is
Speaker 1: to just go hard out as much as I can
Speaker 1: and get as much things, and then when we get
Speaker 1: to ed a sweet then I'm like cool, check this in,
Speaker 1: check that da da da da da, and then I
Speaker 1: then you know, it's condensed. But if I had to
Speaker 1: do that now I was live streaming it, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd be exhausted. Yeah, but yeah, you're so right. It's
Speaker 1: it is. It's a it's an interesting thing, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of us have it, but we just
Speaker 1: don't acknowledge it, you know. Yeah, yeah, you are right.
Speaker 3: It's sort of like a performance. Yeah, like you're a performer, Right,
Speaker 3: so you're in front of the camera. You're going to
Speaker 3: put a show on for the camera.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but if you know yourself, like if you
Speaker 1: know that, like because I knew that, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say character, but that's been me from when I
Speaker 1: was twenty put this mask on. So when I got
Speaker 1: an opportunity on crowd, it was like sweet, like okay,
Speaker 1: mean I just put the mask on again and then yeah,
Speaker 1: take the mask off, go back to regular life. Wait
Speaker 1: for the morning, five o'clock in the morning, get ready,
Speaker 1: put the mask bag on, do breakfast radio. Take it off,
Speaker 1: have something to eat.
Speaker 2: Guy?
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was just a regalar thing, but it
Speaker 1: was conditioned. I was really conditioned for it. So so yeah,

Speaker 1: name is then okay, then she had me and then
Speaker 1: she's and then my father didn't hang around and so
Speaker 1: she's like okay, and then the doctor just put my
Speaker 1: put my last time and she didn't change it in time,
Speaker 1: and then she just rolls off it like she's like
Speaker 1: all right, sweet days and so like so I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not even my name. I was like, okay, if
Speaker 1: I could choose a mean name, what would it be?
Speaker 1: And then it was my xbox name originally, and then
Speaker 1: I was like you know what, I'm just gonna and
Speaker 1: then my my my, my twitch name was simprovised, and
Speaker 1: I had people coming over from that, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm just gonna ride with it. I'm just
Speaker 1: going to roll with it. And then yeah, so I
Speaker 1: just anything I do is just timprivisee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like as in temprovised, improvised, smprising on words.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was all it was. We are going
Speaker 1: to move on to our rapid fire, CAMU. Now we reckon.
Speaker 3: You are that man interviewing truly, and we want to
Speaker 3: reverse it. We want to flip the script. So we're
Speaker 3: going to get you to interview us. All right, so
Speaker 3: you get to ask one question of Alyssa, one question
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 2: And then one question to us both like as a collective.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you get three questions.
Speaker 1: I get three questions, and do I get judges? Off? This?
Speaker 1: Were you out of you give me a you know grade?
Speaker 2: I feel like you're stalling a grading.
Speaker 1: It's already said, but we want to see how exactly
Speaker 1: good you are? This is on the flys why I've
Speaker 1: not heard anything here? Okay, all right, cool? Coming over
Speaker 1: straight with you? Okay?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: What is your what's your relationship in terms of like
Speaker 1: mentally getting on the same kind of wavelength? Was your parents?
Speaker 1: Do they understand like who you are as a person
Speaker 1: and as a achiever.
Speaker 2: I suppose that's.
Speaker 3: That is a good ask question.
Speaker 2: Well, I was raised just by my mom. My parents
Speaker 2: were before I was born, so I've always known two homes.
Speaker 2: So I feel like my mom gets me. I don't
Speaker 2: know if she quite understands everything I do, because I
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things, and I don't always
Speaker 2: know she understands the motivations behind things because she is
Speaker 2: Balani and a lot of my stuff is motivated by
Speaker 2: the fact that I'm a say some war, but she
Speaker 2: understands my passion and she's also where I get my
Speaker 2: brain from, so she gets the drive and the ambition
Speaker 2: behind a.
Speaker 3: Lot of what I do.
Speaker 2: My dad then, on the flip side, because he is
Speaker 2: the saone gets the passion for the culture and the
Speaker 2: passion for education because that was one of the reasons
Speaker 2: he moved to New Zealand from sam War. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if he quite understands the way that I
Speaker 2: choose to let those manifests. Like I think sometimes he's
Speaker 2: like why a podcast or but he's also My parents
Speaker 2: are quite old, like I would say that within my generation.
Speaker 2: They're probably like an older parent, So I think there's
Speaker 2: modern things that they don't quite understand. But I think
Speaker 2: they get me in different ways. But my mum gets
Speaker 2: me like more so than my dad, I would say,
Speaker 2: just because she like she raised me, I am her
Speaker 2: in so many ways.
Speaker 1: Man, that's the suck that I don't have more questions,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That is because I was yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I just like knowing means I'll just come
Speaker 1: up with the most smuttiest questions. It was like, man,
Speaker 1: why can't you ask me? Okay? So man, alright, do
Speaker 1: you feel like in terms of like de la cell
Speaker 1: gets a bad rap in terms of like what's the
Speaker 1: word inclusivity? I suppose with you know, especially around today's
Speaker 1: day and age with LGBTQ stuff. Was Dela CL being
Speaker 1: so open minded to other things?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because I feel as if Dela CL was the one
Speaker 1: that was like yo, like that's who we are as people,
Speaker 1: whereas other ones, especially in auto, across the across the
Speaker 1: railways and also that the vibe. But did you did
Speaker 1: you feel that as a student, I love Dela C.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I felt like I felt acceptance, to
Speaker 3: be honest, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because that a
Speaker 3: lot of other schools they don't. But I felt Dela
Speaker 3: CEL was the actual, I want to say, like pioneer
Speaker 3: when it comes to like acceptance, quite a welcoming school.
Speaker 3: I want to say that I felt quite revered by
Speaker 3: my peers, like there was like a there was a
Speaker 3: culture of respect, like no matter what your background was,
Speaker 3: like who you were, what your identity markers were, you
Speaker 3: were just respected and it was quite mutual with everyone
Speaker 3: in the year. Level never got into drama over things
Speaker 3: like that. I felt validated because the staff wouldn't object
Speaker 3: to who I was. Mind you, I wasn't as open
Speaker 3: with my sexuality as I am now, but back then
Speaker 3: even like I didn't have any fears of being myself,
Speaker 3: my true authentic self.
Speaker 1: Can I ask question, yeah, where did that come from?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: They're not giving a fuck? Oh, because that's a that
Speaker 1: that's that that is an onion that doesn't get unraveled
Speaker 1: very much like there's a lot of people that are proud,
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people that aren't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not that there aren't, but they just don't know how
Speaker 1: to put it out to the universe. I suppose, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but where did where did your one come from? There?
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 3: I think just going to d Lacel being it was
Speaker 3: a desol One high school predominantly Maldi, but Pasifica just
Speaker 3: felt like all the odds were stacked against us and
Speaker 3: so we weren't going to throw stones at each other.
Speaker 3: So whenever we walked outside those school gates, it was
Speaker 3: kind of like it's that brotherhood that you talk about,
Speaker 3: Like all us aliens know what I'm talking about, but
Speaker 3: like this that camaraderie and you guys are outside the
Speaker 3: school care and if I don't know, and saying that
Speaker 3: there was like a huge culture of mocking and I
Speaker 3: will say that that built a tough skin with me
Speaker 3: and I think that's just yeah, the south Side schooling experience.
Speaker 3: But yeah, all those things contributed to why I didn't
Speaker 3: give a fuck that it.
Speaker 1: Is following up questions. This is not my podcast, but
Speaker 1: I mean another like another realm of that question, like
Speaker 1: with you and your identity? Ye, when was that for you?
Speaker 1: The time where you you don't get you didn't give
Speaker 1: a fuck? You're like, yo, this is who I am.
Speaker 1: Fuck y'all, this is who I am? And where did
Speaker 1: that come from?
Speaker 3: I think that not giving a fuck like is like
Speaker 3: right now, like that's a kine season me thing, Like
Speaker 3: I've achieved so much. I look back at what I've
Speaker 3: been able to do, and it's because that was me.
Speaker 3: That's not because I was trying to be anyone else
Speaker 3: hide from who I am. It's because I embraced who
Speaker 3: I am. That got me to where I am today. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so I really am am.
Speaker 1: I not giving a fuck?
Speaker 3: Era grow up in the gym posted off on the
Speaker 3: gym young yeah twenty three twenty four man to.
Speaker 1: Be able to have that ability and I get it
Speaker 1: from both of you, right. I know that you know
Speaker 1: who you are, man, I don't know who the hell
Speaker 1: I was till I was like thirty, Am I a
Speaker 1: teacher and this something there? And to be able to
Speaker 1: like really kind of just lean into who you are.
Speaker 1: It is something that a lot of people don't get
Speaker 1: to the oldest. So it's really really cool to be
Speaker 1: in a room of people like that. So yeah, but no, yeah, anyway,
