24
00:01:18,253 --> 00:01:21,012
Speaker 6: was a huge fan of Whitelatus and was so stoked

25
00:01:21,013 --> 00:01:23,173
Speaker 6: and impressed when I heard that you'd got the gig.

26
00:01:24,613 --> 00:01:27,333
Speaker 6: Were you were you a fan of the show beforehand?

27
00:01:27,373 --> 00:01:30,093
Speaker 6: And tell us how you heard that you that you've

28
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:31,932
Speaker 6: got this huge international job.

29
00:01:32,413 --> 00:01:34,333
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. I was such a fan of the show.

30
00:01:34,533 --> 00:01:38,893
Speaker 5: I love that show. And so when the audition came through,

31
00:01:39,853 --> 00:01:43,893
Speaker 5: I center off the NDA, you know, so far. My

32
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:47,333
Speaker 5: agent was like, I've never seen an NBA come back well,

33
00:01:47,453 --> 00:01:49,972
Speaker 5: you know. And then when I was hearing for the audition,

34
00:01:50,013 --> 00:01:52,693
Speaker 5: actually I listened to the soundtrack kind a lot, you know,

35
00:01:52,733 --> 00:02:00,493
Speaker 5: that iconic get Me in the bag, you know, get

36
00:02:00,493 --> 00:02:03,693
Speaker 5: me in the get me the zone. And then it

37
00:02:03,733 --> 00:02:06,413
Speaker 5: was all quite straightforward from there, which is often is

38
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:08,733
Speaker 5: not straightforward. It's often like back and forth and back

39
00:02:08,733 --> 00:02:11,733
Speaker 5: and forth, and like lots of I was so used

40
00:02:11,733 --> 00:02:15,653
Speaker 5: to sitting in anguish for months, but then I had

41
00:02:15,653 --> 00:02:18,453
Speaker 5: some really nice feedback when I was I was at

42
00:02:18,493 --> 00:02:21,132
Speaker 5: a friend's wedding and I felt like I needed to

43
00:02:21,133 --> 00:02:24,653
Speaker 5: stop the wedding and said, the White Lights casting team

44
00:02:24,813 --> 00:02:26,773
Speaker 5: liked my tape. I didn't stop the wedding, and I

45
00:02:26,893 --> 00:02:30,532
Speaker 5: just felt amazing and figured I'd just digne out on that.

46
00:02:30,573 --> 00:02:32,853
Speaker 5: For years, I'd be like, you know, White Loadus had

47
00:02:32,893 --> 00:02:34,733
Speaker 5: come out, and I'd I'd say to my friends, I

48
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:37,532
Speaker 5: auditioned for that and they liked that, so watch out.

49
00:02:39,173 --> 00:02:41,213
Speaker 5: And then two weeks later I got a call on

50
00:02:41,213 --> 00:02:44,653
Speaker 5: the Saturday morning, because that would have been Friday afternoon

51
00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:48,773
Speaker 5: in the States, and yeah, my agent said, bless, he

52
00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:51,292
Speaker 5: shouldn't be around the bush. Good morning. How I got, Okay,

53
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:53,453
Speaker 5: we've heard about White Loatus and they are going to

54
00:02:53,532 --> 00:02:56,893
Speaker 5: offer you the part. And all I remember saying is

55
00:02:57,093 --> 00:03:02,693
Speaker 5: are you sure? And shoving so happy, and I was

56
00:03:02,733 --> 00:03:06,373
Speaker 5: calling my husband. He's a director, which is not how

57
00:03:06,413 --> 00:03:09,493
Speaker 5: we met. No shade to anyone who goes that way anyway,

58
00:03:09,613 --> 00:03:13,453
Speaker 5: but he was on set at the time, and so

59
00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:15,733
Speaker 5: I was. I tried to call him in the morning.

60
00:03:15,972 --> 00:03:17,653
Speaker 5: I knew he'd be in the second it, so I

61
00:03:17,693 --> 00:03:20,693
Speaker 5: was trying my luck. And then he ticked it back

62
00:03:20,972 --> 00:03:23,893
Speaker 5: and are you all good? And I texted him I've

63
00:03:23,893 --> 00:03:26,573
Speaker 5: heard about White Lotus and he kicks it back a

64
00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:29,613
Speaker 5: question mark, and I ticked it back, you want to

65
00:03:29,613 --> 00:03:30,333
Speaker 5: go to Thailand?

66
00:03:33,093 --> 00:03:36,053
Speaker 4: It was so coud what a beautiful response and moment.

67
00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:39,853
Speaker 3: So when you first read that script more Ganner, what

68
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:45,653
Speaker 3: was your first thoughts? I mean, such a brilliantly written show, dark, funny, unsettling.

69
00:03:46,253 --> 00:03:48,893
Speaker 3: Were you blowing away the first time you read that script?

70
00:03:50,253 --> 00:03:50,413
Speaker 2: Oh?

71
00:03:50,693 --> 00:03:53,133
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was amazing reading it. Because also I have

72
00:03:53,213 --> 00:03:54,973
Speaker 5: to say, like I got offered the pat and then

73
00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:57,533
Speaker 5: I thought, for about a week while we were waiting

74
00:03:57,693 --> 00:04:00,013
Speaker 5: for kind of the proper deal, you know, the proper

75
00:04:00,053 --> 00:04:03,293
Speaker 5: offer to come through, I thought, I think it might

76
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:06,733
Speaker 5: be a scam. I think it was a scam because

77
00:04:06,773 --> 00:04:09,453
Speaker 5: this has happened before. There's a really good podcasts actually

78
00:04:09,453 --> 00:04:12,773
Speaker 5: called Chameleon is it called Caameleian No Hollywood con Queen,

79
00:04:12,813 --> 00:04:15,093
Speaker 5: and this is real. I knew some people who got

80
00:04:15,173 --> 00:04:17,933
Speaker 5: hit by this. A person in Indonesia that would call

81
00:04:18,053 --> 00:04:20,533
Speaker 5: agents and be like, they've got this huge part of

82
00:04:20,573 --> 00:04:23,652
Speaker 5: the big show that just you pay for the tickets

83
00:04:23,653 --> 00:04:27,693
Speaker 5: over and we will reimburse. It's very strange scam. But

84
00:04:28,973 --> 00:04:31,893
Speaker 5: so when I finally got the contract, I was like, okay,

85
00:04:32,213 --> 00:04:34,613
Speaker 5: that maybe that's good. And then when I finally got

86
00:04:34,613 --> 00:04:37,733
Speaker 5: the scripts, I was like, okay, this is a very

87
00:04:37,733 --> 00:04:41,693
Speaker 5: elaborate scam. And I read the scripts and it was

88
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:44,173
Speaker 5: just amazing. It was like watching The White Lotus. You know,

89
00:04:44,213 --> 00:04:46,013
Speaker 5: it was just so when you because I knew the

90
00:04:46,053 --> 00:04:49,333
Speaker 5: show and it was yeah, glorious. And also I didn't

91
00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:55,093
Speaker 5: necessarily know what my character was, you know, so I

92
00:04:55,173 --> 00:04:58,133
Speaker 5: was reading it each at the start of each of

93
00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:01,733
Speaker 5: the episodes. You know, I actually just searched my character's

94
00:05:01,813 --> 00:05:04,533
Speaker 5: name to see how often she was popping up. I

95
00:05:04,573 --> 00:05:09,413
Speaker 5: know that sounds really that's shallow, but also hilariously because

96
00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:18,733
Speaker 5: my character's name is Pam Luisa. Pam shows that a lot. No, no, no, here,

97
00:05:18,773 --> 00:05:21,893
Speaker 5: I am no. No.

98
00:05:23,413 --> 00:05:25,133
Speaker 6: Well that's kind of a coincidence in the end, isn't it,

99
00:05:25,133 --> 00:05:31,053
Speaker 6: because in the show, obviously there was the scam agent

100
00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:34,853
Speaker 6: in the scam, the whole scam movie thing. Now, look,

101
00:05:34,853 --> 00:05:36,813
Speaker 6: you're so good on the show, and look at key

102
00:05:36,813 --> 00:05:39,533
Speaker 6: we accent always sticks out on American shows, but yours

103
00:05:39,613 --> 00:05:41,853
Speaker 6: was so good. Were you adding any sauce to the

104
00:05:41,893 --> 00:05:44,253
Speaker 6: accent or was that just you talking normally?

105
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:51,973
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, I actually I actually she's Australian.

106
00:05:52,973 --> 00:05:59,293
Speaker 5: She's Australian, but I know so when I audition, she

107
00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:06,013
Speaker 5: is an Australian character, and with this very close. She

108
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:09,373
Speaker 5: was an Australian character when I audition for her right

109
00:06:09,613 --> 00:06:13,133
Speaker 5: and then I got the role and I said to

110
00:06:13,413 --> 00:06:17,093
Speaker 5: Mike White, how would you feel about me making her

111
00:06:17,133 --> 00:06:20,293
Speaker 5: a Keywi much more niche She hadn't had a keyw

112
00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:21,773
Speaker 5: in the show, and he just went, oh, sure, do

113
00:06:21,813 --> 00:06:24,533
Speaker 5: whatever you like. I I realize that he didn't know

114
00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:29,373
Speaker 5: the weight of that decision, what that meant on a

115
00:06:29,413 --> 00:06:33,893
Speaker 5: cultural basis, how different we are. And I pained over

116
00:06:33,933 --> 00:06:36,973
Speaker 5: it for weeks, and I would do little bits for

117
00:06:37,093 --> 00:06:39,413
Speaker 5: friends where I would sort of try her out as

118
00:06:39,413 --> 00:06:41,533
Speaker 5: a key We go, what do you think is funnier

119
00:06:41,973 --> 00:06:47,573
Speaker 5: this or this, this or this, and everyone was like,

120
00:06:47,653 --> 00:06:51,053
Speaker 5: God damn, it's all these funnier And I also felt like,

121
00:06:52,253 --> 00:06:54,733
Speaker 5: and maybe I'm native. It shows how much money I

122
00:06:54,773 --> 00:06:56,533
Speaker 5: actually make. But I was like, I just don't feel

123
00:06:56,573 --> 00:07:02,093
Speaker 5: like we have that kind of affluent wellness in New Zealand.

124
00:07:02,613 --> 00:07:05,413
Speaker 5: Like for me, I was like, We've got like hippie

125
00:07:05,493 --> 00:07:11,773
Speaker 5: raglin wellness, whereas Australia has that real, like high end

126
00:07:13,173 --> 00:07:15,733
Speaker 5: throw money at your problems wellness.

127
00:07:16,173 --> 00:07:17,213
Speaker 6: Yeah.

128
00:07:17,373 --> 00:07:22,933
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's an Australian space. And it was fun and

129
00:07:23,213 --> 00:07:25,573
Speaker 5: maybe that's my I mean, I love Australians and I've

130
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,573
Speaker 5: lived I've lived over there a lot and for a

131
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:30,413
Speaker 5: long time, so I felt like it was my old

132
00:07:31,133 --> 00:07:33,853
Speaker 5: flash ribbing of Australia.

133
00:07:34,893 --> 00:07:37,493
Speaker 6: Well, I supposed to the New Zealand. You know, the

134
00:07:37,493 --> 00:07:39,733
Speaker 6: Australian ecccene is the New Zealand acccene with a little

135
00:07:39,733 --> 00:07:42,253
Speaker 6: bit of source. Have you been have you been taking phones.

136
00:07:42,013 --> 00:07:46,533
Speaker 5: Off you just squint your ears, and have you been.

137
00:07:46,453 --> 00:07:49,533
Speaker 6: Taking phones off people in your private life and looking

138
00:07:49,573 --> 00:07:51,373
Speaker 6: after them since since the role?

139
00:07:52,773 --> 00:07:55,493
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's a great way to make friends.

140
00:07:55,613 --> 00:07:59,973
Speaker 5: You just take people's phones away. Look, but I can

141
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:02,573
Speaker 5: tell you that I now charge my phone on the

142
00:08:02,573 --> 00:08:04,693
Speaker 5: other side of my bedroom. I don't have it nixed

143
00:08:04,693 --> 00:08:07,093
Speaker 5: to my bed anymore, which makes me read books again

144
00:08:07,213 --> 00:08:11,173
Speaker 5: and I feel completely I feel so sanctamonious about it.

145
00:08:11,213 --> 00:08:13,533
Speaker 5: I'm like, guys, you've got to take your phone away

146
00:08:13,573 --> 00:08:17,493
Speaker 5: from next to your beers. You do, it's good for you.

147
00:08:18,053 --> 00:08:20,853
Speaker 6: Well, we'll end up being such an important plot point

148
00:08:20,973 --> 00:08:24,653
Speaker 6: in the stress of the people that needed their phones

149
00:08:24,693 --> 00:08:27,413
Speaker 6: but also didn't need their phones, and how helpful it was.

150
00:08:27,413 --> 00:08:29,253
Speaker 6: I don't I mean, I don't spoiler.

151
00:08:28,893 --> 00:08:31,253
Speaker 5: That's how I knew that I wasn't going to get

152
00:08:31,253 --> 00:08:33,533
Speaker 5: a cut out because I was like, well she's part

153
00:08:33,573 --> 00:08:36,293
Speaker 5: of a pretty vital see.

154
00:08:38,612 --> 00:08:39,413
Speaker 4: So we're Gana.

155
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:44,093
Speaker 3: You've now worked across comedy, drama, theater, TV and film,

156
00:08:44,132 --> 00:08:48,292
Speaker 3: of course, how do you shift your approach between those

157
00:08:48,413 --> 00:08:51,213
Speaker 3: forms and do you have a favorite.

158
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:55,252
Speaker 5: I look at them all. I look at Every job

159
00:08:55,453 --> 00:08:58,372
Speaker 5: that I do is like working in a different kitchen

160
00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:02,333
Speaker 5: making different food. And of course you just I want

161
00:09:02,693 --> 00:09:06,293
Speaker 5: variety as much as possible. So I love all of

162
00:09:06,333 --> 00:09:09,573
Speaker 5: them because I love food. If you know, if you're

163
00:09:09,693 --> 00:09:15,093
Speaker 5: enjoying my analogy, yes, so I will. Any type of

164
00:09:15,413 --> 00:09:20,052
Speaker 5: performing is just delicious, and especially if they're as variety.

165
00:09:20,132 --> 00:09:22,293
Speaker 5: You know, you can get overloaded with one thing and

166
00:09:22,372 --> 00:09:24,372
Speaker 5: go I just need to I want to do some

167
00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:27,372
Speaker 5: stupid comedy, and then you do stupid comedy for a

168
00:09:27,413 --> 00:09:32,652
Speaker 5: bit and you're like, jeez, I need some anguish.

169
00:09:32,773 --> 00:09:34,292
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a beautiful analogy.

170
00:09:34,252 --> 00:09:37,853
Speaker 5: Yeah everything, Thank you. I've been working on it, working

171
00:09:37,852 --> 00:09:38,653
Speaker 5: on it over the airs.

172
00:09:40,093 --> 00:09:43,132
Speaker 6: I'm good friends with someone that you took over there

173
00:09:43,132 --> 00:09:47,013
Speaker 6: as an emotional support creature. And of course famously on

174
00:09:47,252 --> 00:09:49,253
Speaker 6: White Lotus. Just to go back to the big fan,

175
00:09:50,293 --> 00:09:54,213
Speaker 6: everyone stays in the resort, and you know, the actors

176
00:09:54,213 --> 00:09:58,253
Speaker 6: are living in that era area, and so how was

177
00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:00,852
Speaker 6: that how how was just the experience of the show

178
00:10:00,973 --> 00:10:03,693
Speaker 6: outside of the show, that going down to breakfast, the

179
00:10:03,973 --> 00:10:06,533
Speaker 6: hanging out with everyone, that that whole part of it

180
00:10:06,612 --> 00:10:07,292
Speaker 6: must have been great.

181
00:10:08,693 --> 00:10:11,453
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes it was really stressful,

182
00:10:11,573 --> 00:10:14,013
Speaker 5: especially it's start. It was like, oh my gosh, like,

183
00:10:14,132 --> 00:10:17,173
Speaker 5: I uh, this is There's a lot to take on

184
00:10:17,213 --> 00:10:23,013
Speaker 5: when you first arrive. There's obviously you're sharing a hotel,

185
00:10:23,173 --> 00:10:26,773
Speaker 5: and a hotel which who which level of opulence is

186
00:10:26,813 --> 00:10:31,213
Speaker 5: beyond anything I've ever experienced, Like there's very literally a

187
00:10:31,293 --> 00:10:33,413
Speaker 5: very small percentage of people who can afford to go

188
00:10:33,533 --> 00:10:36,613
Speaker 5: somewhere like that. I think my villa that they gave me,

189
00:10:36,693 --> 00:10:40,372
Speaker 5: which I'm sure is like the smallest, was five thousand

190
00:10:40,372 --> 00:10:45,892
Speaker 5: dollars a night. That is insane to me. So you're

191
00:10:45,892 --> 00:10:47,693
Speaker 5: dealing with that. When you first get in, there's kind

192
00:10:47,693 --> 00:10:51,612
Speaker 5: of like awe of this space, and then it's filled

193
00:10:51,653 --> 00:10:56,292
Speaker 5: the same people. And usually fancy hotels are just filled

194
00:10:56,333 --> 00:10:59,293
Speaker 5: with annoying people, but that one was filled with amazing,

195
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:04,813
Speaker 5: like very famous, cool people. So there was quite a

196
00:11:04,852 --> 00:11:08,852
Speaker 5: bit of imposter syndrome for me just to get it over.

197
00:11:11,413 --> 00:11:14,773
Speaker 5: But by the end I felt like I could just

198
00:11:14,813 --> 00:11:18,053
Speaker 5: say were beautiful people, and I got to just enjoy

199
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:20,372
Speaker 5: their company. So by the time I went back up

200
00:11:20,453 --> 00:11:24,532
Speaker 5: with my cousin, who is your friend come? And then

201
00:11:24,653 --> 00:11:26,813
Speaker 5: by that point I felt like I get to be

202
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:29,013
Speaker 5: really cool and be like, oh, Jack, this is my

203
00:11:29,132 --> 00:11:36,053
Speaker 5: friend Amy, Oh this is Carrie Hi his So that's nice.

204
00:11:36,413 --> 00:11:38,293
Speaker 5: It's interesting, good process. Definitely.

205
00:11:38,492 --> 00:11:40,292
Speaker 6: It's interesting that you bring up the sweets because I

206
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:42,813
Speaker 6: listened to this podcast with Walton Goggins and he was

207
00:11:42,813 --> 00:11:46,093
Speaker 6: talking about how sometimes even though all his spiritual work,

208
00:11:46,132 --> 00:11:49,132
Speaker 6: he's very shallow and he stopped off at an art

209
00:11:49,173 --> 00:11:51,612
Speaker 6: exhibition in Paris before he went to the Shooting White

210
00:11:51,612 --> 00:11:53,652
Speaker 6: Lotus and he said, while he was looking at this art,

211
00:11:53,693 --> 00:11:55,733
Speaker 6: he was worrying that he would miss out on the

212
00:11:55,732 --> 00:11:59,573
Speaker 6: good sweets at the on the white loads at the

213
00:11:59,573 --> 00:12:00,493
Speaker 6: White Lotus resort.

Speaker 5: Small Town Scandal, and it is so funny and charming

229
00:12:44,453 --> 00:12:47,612
Speaker 5: and ridiculous. I knew I was going to be doing

230
00:12:47,612 --> 00:12:49,973
Speaker 5: some press for it, so I made sure to get

231
00:12:50,012 --> 00:12:53,933
Speaker 5: a few copies, like a few of the episodes, and

232
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:58,252
Speaker 5: then I demanded very dramatically. We're not more dramatically. I

233
00:12:58,293 --> 00:13:00,612
Speaker 5: think I need the whole series just to be able

234
00:13:00,612 --> 00:13:03,413
Speaker 5: to really know what I'm advertising back. Really, it was

235
00:13:03,453 --> 00:13:07,412
Speaker 5: just because I mean, I love it. I love it

236
00:13:07,732 --> 00:13:10,772
Speaker 5: really and I feel like the world is really ready

237
00:13:10,773 --> 00:13:14,173
Speaker 5: for some stilly So that's coming out. And then I've

238
00:13:14,173 --> 00:13:17,252
Speaker 5: got a show called Bust Up coming out, which is

239
00:13:17,293 --> 00:13:20,573
Speaker 5: in sort of like far Go tone. I play a

240
00:13:20,573 --> 00:13:24,052
Speaker 5: police officer, so I feel like a police officer. Now.

241
00:13:24,132 --> 00:13:27,453
Speaker 5: I met a police officer the other day. A friend

242
00:13:27,492 --> 00:13:30,853
Speaker 5: of my kid's dad is a police officer and he

243
00:13:30,933 --> 00:13:32,133
Speaker 5: told me he was a cop and I was like,

244
00:13:33,173 --> 00:13:35,333
Speaker 5: I just I just said, you just played a cop

245
00:13:35,413 --> 00:13:40,933
Speaker 5: and he was like, oh, you're an ector. Yeah, And

246
00:13:41,012 --> 00:13:45,453
Speaker 5: that's really found that. It's like good crime solving mysteries

Speaker 3: So looking forward to that. Right here comes the Christmas questions.

250
00:13:54,453 --> 00:13:57,093
Speaker 3: More gana, what does summer look like for you?

251
00:13:58,492 --> 00:14:01,373
Speaker 5: Listen, it's a backyard summer for me this year. I

252
00:14:01,492 --> 00:14:03,933
Speaker 5: really am focusing on that. We've got a dog in

253
00:14:04,012 --> 00:14:06,492
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five this year, and we love her a bit,

254
00:14:07,132 --> 00:14:11,532
Speaker 5: and so I think we're slightly more homebound this summer.

255
00:14:11,773 --> 00:14:14,453
Speaker 5: But we got one of those above ground pools and

256
00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:20,653
Speaker 5: it's hits, So the tramps out, the pools up, and

257
00:14:20,813 --> 00:14:24,173
Speaker 5: I have flowers, sun files growing. It's gonna be great.

258
00:14:24,213 --> 00:14:25,813
Speaker 5: A bit of a road trip here and there and

259
00:14:25,893 --> 00:14:26,453
Speaker 5: some camping.

260
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:29,573
Speaker 4: But yeah, that sounds epic. That's amazing.

261
00:14:29,613 --> 00:14:32,693
Speaker 6: And what's on the menu on Christmas Day?

262
00:14:33,453 --> 00:14:36,813
Speaker 5: I think then I have perfected for cutsure bread. So

263
00:14:36,893 --> 00:14:39,493
Speaker 5: I'm going to be shoving that down my family's throat.

264
00:14:39,973 --> 00:14:43,773
Speaker 5: And I'm also going to attempt to make a lemon

265
00:14:43,853 --> 00:14:47,253
Speaker 5: sallow terra missu. Oh that's the Gulf.

266
00:14:47,373 --> 00:14:50,733
Speaker 4: Yeah, lemon Cello's big at the moment, is it? I

267
00:14:50,813 --> 00:14:52,493
Speaker 4: think it's going to be the next country.

268
00:14:52,693 --> 00:14:55,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, you heard it here first. Hey, this is a

269
00:14:55,813 --> 00:14:58,013
Speaker 3: curly one for you. What was the best present you

270
00:14:58,093 --> 00:14:59,213
Speaker 3: ever gave or received?

271
00:15:00,613 --> 00:15:03,853
Speaker 5: Ah, this is such an interesting question because that funnily enough,

272
00:15:03,853 --> 00:15:06,213
Speaker 5: I feel like I remember the presence that I gave

273
00:15:06,413 --> 00:15:10,013
Speaker 5: the most, which I think is not because it says

274
00:15:10,053 --> 00:15:13,933
Speaker 5: how much, you know, Christmas is about the giving. I

275
00:15:14,133 --> 00:15:20,172
Speaker 5: gave a personalized guest her board where I swapped out

276
00:15:20,213 --> 00:15:23,333
Speaker 5: all the pictures for people in their life. Nice. That's

277
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:26,213
Speaker 5: a good one, really good? All right?

278
00:15:27,453 --> 00:15:31,532
Speaker 6: Real or fake Christmas tree for you? MORGANA oh look.

279
00:15:31,613 --> 00:15:35,053
Speaker 5: I mean the smell of a real one is so amazing. Yes, yes, yes,

280
00:15:35,213 --> 00:15:38,653
Speaker 5: all of that. But we inherited a fake one from

281
00:15:38,893 --> 00:15:40,853
Speaker 5: my mother in law a few years ago and it's

282
00:15:40,893 --> 00:15:44,933
Speaker 5: like a classic old farmer's one and it actually is awesome.

283
00:15:45,173 --> 00:15:48,493
Speaker 5: It comes out every year and she likes up gorgeous

284
00:15:48,893 --> 00:15:51,773
Speaker 5: and I think that'll be us for a week while. Yet.

285
00:15:52,053 --> 00:15:55,093
Speaker 4: Yeah, love that. What are you most grateful for this year?

286
00:15:57,093 --> 00:16:00,773
Speaker 5: I am really grateful that I get to live in

287
00:16:00,813 --> 00:16:04,733
Speaker 5: New Zealand and work overseas. I'm really grateful that I

288
00:16:04,813 --> 00:16:07,893
Speaker 5: get to come back to this absolute paradise of a

Speaker 6: year like this. But your fave Christmas song?

294
00:16:21,293 --> 00:16:26,493
Speaker 5: Okay, this is a big question, but every year on Christmas,

295
00:16:26,493 --> 00:16:32,173
Speaker 5: my husband insists on playing Dolly Patteran and Kenny Rodgers'

296
00:16:32,293 --> 00:16:36,932
Speaker 5: Christmas album. Yes, and I have a love hate relationship

297
00:16:36,973 --> 00:16:41,013
Speaker 5: with it, but I also love it because he really

298
00:16:41,173 --> 00:16:44,693
Speaker 5: it's so cheesy and he really doesn't. It plays on

299
00:16:44,813 --> 00:16:49,813
Speaker 5: repeat and it's intense and it's intensely happy. But my

300
00:16:49,973 --> 00:16:53,053
Speaker 5: favorite is from that album, and it's called Winter Wonderland

301
00:16:53,293 --> 00:16:59,253
Speaker 5: slash Sleigh Ride and it's really eighties and very American,

302
00:17:00,053 --> 00:17:01,013
