13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I want to ask you one more question about yourandparents

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: because that resonates with me so much.

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: Did they get to see your success?

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 4: No, I was in the band then, and sort of.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: I was in.

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 6: And we were playing in Germany. I was with Rory

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 6: by then Rory's some of the Hurricanes, and I was

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 6: there when my granddad went, and I was doing the

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 6: gig in Germany when my grandma went, so I couldn't

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 6: come home because everyone would had to play. But no,

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 6: they didn't see it like unfolding. I mean, they knew

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 6: I played, but they never came to a gig and

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 6: we went big time.

26
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 4: We were local bands.

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: What was your in your mind?

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: You're ceiling when you were starting out and you're playing clubs,

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: you're traveling around, like how big did you think?

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: How far did you think you could go in music?

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 4: I didn't.

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 6: I don't remember like thinking that. One of my mom's

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 6: best friends, Annie Maguire, she would say, you know, I'd

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: be hitting them in the house. I can see you

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 6: on the London Palladium one day, son, and she gave spirits,

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 6: so a lot of people in Liverpool gave your spirit.

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 6: Anyway I played, I only could take the snare because

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 6: we were a skiffle group. And Eddie Clayton, the guy

39
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 6: next door, and he was in the factory. I was

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 6: in the factory and Roy the you know, it was

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 6: just a wooden box with a pole and that was

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: the base and I had a surle and that's how

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 6: we started. And we had no sense of timing. I

44
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: remember that once we played some sort of dance and oh, Maggie,

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 6: Maggie May, they are taking her away and each other dancing.

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 6: They're dancing cause you saw it down. So I'm amazed

47
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 6: because I have really great time. You know time, and

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 6: I'm good at that. I mean, it's just God given

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 6: gift that I can keep time.

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: What was your job in the factory.

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 6: My job was to be an apprentice engineer. At first

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: I worked on the rail ways as a delivery kid boy.

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 6: I was sixteen. And then I was on the coastal boats,

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 6: like party boats, where like four or five hundred people

55
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 6: would go from Liverpool to Wales and all they did

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: was drink all the way and drink all the way back.

57
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 6: And I lasted five weeks on the railway, five weeks

58
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 6: on the boats, and then my mom you know, oh,

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 6: I've been fired, and by Monday she'd got me in

60
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 6: a new job, and she got me this job in

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 6: the factory. But while in that factory, that's when it

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 6: came I want to play. I want to play. And

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 6: then I joined this other group, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes,

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 6: and we got this three month gig in a holiday

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 6: camp in England. So I decided I'm leaving the factory.

66
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 6: I was just twenty ish, and all of my family

67
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 6: came to our house to tell me it's all right

68
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 6: as a hobby sone, but they wanted me to keep

69
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: that job. You know, and I said no, no, I'm

70
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 6: going and you know that's why I changed my name. Also,

71
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: we went to this gig three months we were going

72
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 6: to be there in the Rock and Calypso Ballroom.

73
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 7: And.

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 6: I changed my name fully to Ringo then because in Liverpool,

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 6: if you do something, you know, if you're limping, that

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 6: you'd probably be called limpy. But I started wearing rings

77
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 6: that sort of a take on my mom. She loved

78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 6: flashy stuff, and so some people were starting to say,

79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 6: hey rings, what's going on?

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: You know, like gang members, we'd be hey rings.

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 6: And we got to Buttland's holiday camp and we all

82
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: changed on. The guitarist called himself Tyle Brian and Johnny

83
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 6: guitar was great, and uh, the.

84
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: Name was Johnny Guitar. His name, I assume you played

85
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: guitar Ny guitar.

86
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, because he changed his names to that. Really

87
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 6: his name was Johnny, but it's you know, it was

88
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 6: another name, family name. And uh, I put like Ringo, Stocky,

89
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 6: that's not that Stocky doesn't look you know.

90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: Didn't look right. So I put Ringo star.

91
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: Did you two rs the first time?

92
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

93
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 6: Two rs to make it star? And uh and it's

94
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 6: been that ever since. Ball of the family who called

95
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 6: me dad or granddad.

96
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: I've got two final questions for you.

97
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you made the record and it was complete

98
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: and you're able to hear it all back, did you

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: like and do you like to listen to your own projects?

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: And what did you think about this one when it

101
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: was all the way done? Your own thoughts of your own.

102
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 6: Project when it was finished. I thought it was great. No,

103
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 6: I really loved it myself, and it was very to me.

104
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: I like to be The vocal was great, as I said,

105
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 6: it was it. They were all in my key and

106
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 6: it's like in a way though you know, we didn't

107
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 6: never live together. It was put together by a man

108
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 6: who knew me and and I think I'm tired of

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: thank you.

110
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: My final question something again we alluded to earlier, was

111
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: playing in the clubs and a lot of artists miss

112
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: out on that now and they kind of get famous

113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: before they're ready.

114
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think they.

115
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 6: You know, they have a hit in January, like those

116
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 6: TV shows for the singing the singer who wins has

117
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 6: a number one in January, and you don't air from

118
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 6: him after May.

119
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: It's all over and they're not really able to They

120
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: don't know how to deal.

121
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're not able to develop even as a performer,

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: right because they don't do the clubs.

123
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: They're ong clubs.

124
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: They got so famous so fast. You know, the kind

125
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: of the legendary story about you guys. You'd be in

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: a club in Germany and play for like six hours

127
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: a night.

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 6: Is that actually do two bands? When I was there

129
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 6: with Rory and the Beatles were there. When we were

130
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 6: the two bands, we were on separate clubs at the beginning.

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 6: Then Koshma, the guy on the clubs, put us both

132
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 6: on one club and we would battle each other for

133
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 6: the audience, you know what I mean. It would stomp

134
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 6: in and stuff. But at weekends we did twelve hours

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 6: between us. Yeah, and you know, I love it because

136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 6: we're in that book ten thousand hours, and they actually

137
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 6: mentioned we actually put in our ten thousand Now.

138
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I think that's where I first knew of the story

139
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 1: reading that book. You'd put in that whole time.

140
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 6: We'd play anywhere and Saturday night in Liverpool whatever, the

141
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 6: gig was one of the clubs that have an all

142
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 6: night and they were so cheap they'd only ever hire

143
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: a trio to custom less and or all of us

144
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 6: were to these clubs and just play all night. Any

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 6: chance we had to play, we would play.

146
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,480

Speaker 11: Yes, yes, oh I love it. That is where my

195
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 11: heart is. I love brows. I love it. But I'd

196
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 11: always seen the areolas and been like, oh, I'm going

197
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 11: to do that one day. You know, you just put

198
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 11: it in your back pocket and you think about it.

199
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 11: But I'm busy doing all my other things. You know,

200
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 11: that was the last thing that I thought I had

201
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 11: time for at the moment. My dad he did pass

202
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 11: away from colon cancer also, so I've had you know,

203
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 11: my dad and my mom both affected with cancer. And

204
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 11: it's just I know you have.

205
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 10: Well in March's colon cancer awareness. Oh yeah, so we're

206
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 10: coming up on that, and I think I'm glad you

207
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 10: mentioned that because if you see any symptoms, book and appointment,

208
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 10: because early detection is everything with.

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 11: Colon cancer, and that that was what happened. Unfortunate with

210
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 11: my dad. He found out it was you know, stage four,

211
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 11: and he's that you know, he never went to the doctor,

212
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 11: never complained, you know, just little workhorse, just did his

213
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 11: own thing, and so he had little things that he saw,

214
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 11: but he just never never did it, never got colonoscopies

215
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 11: any of that stuff. And unfortunately he found out, Yeah,

216
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 11: we found out around New Year's one year and then

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 11: it was stage four and by the next April he

218
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 11: had passed. So he had two chemos and unfortunately his

219
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 11: body just was you know, too far gone.

220
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 10: Well, I feel like you sharing that now and then

221
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 10: with March being right around the corner, people are going

222
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 10: to start seeing more, which is great, but awareness is everything.

223
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 10: So in March, I hope that people are just inundated

224
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 10: with facts and information because your dad, being an older man,

225
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 10: that's who people used to think would just get it. Yeah,

226
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 10: it was just older men, but it is happening to younger, yes,

227
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 10: and younger and younger people and women.

228
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

229
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 10: Two, So I think I saw a stat that's like

230
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 10: one in twenty four people are going to be diagnosed

231
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 10: with calling cancer. So that's just one of those things

232
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 10: that if you can catch it early, if you have

233
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 10: any of the symptoms and maybe you're even being told

234
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 10: it could be something else like oh maybe it's a hemorrhoid,

235
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 10: or just get a second opinion or listen to your

236
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 10: gut and make sure that you advocate for yourself, because

237
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 10: this is one of those cancers that, yeah, if you

238
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 10: catch it early, your survival rate is very high. If

239
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 10: you don't, or if you ignore something or you go

240
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 10: too long, then that's when it gets deadly, which you

241
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 10: unfortunately had to walk through with your dad. So you

242
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 10: went through that with him, and then your mom had

243
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 10: breast cancer.

244
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 12: Fast forward three years later.

245
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, my mom was diagnosed with a stage three breast cancer.

246
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 11: And she felt a lump, you know, as she checked

247
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 11: herself and felt it one day. And my mom's a nurse,

248
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 11: and yeah, it was crazy. My daughter was one and

249
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 11: you know, had my business and then my mom ended

250
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 11: up coming and living with me. So I kind of

251
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 11: was responsible for making sure that she had you know,

252
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 11: had her little friends on a chat list and would

253
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 11: make sure someone would check on her and do all

254
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 11: the things. And you know, we got her do all

255
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 11: of her appointments. But just personally seeing what someone goes through,

256
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 11: I mean, it's awful. It's it's brutal, and you always

257
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 11: think that, you know, you see people go through it,

258
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 11: or you hear people go through it, you know, through

259
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 11: the grapevine, but when it's actually your life, like seeing

260
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 11: my mom. And my mom is strong, you know, she

261
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 11: had six kids. She she did all the right things.

262
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 11: My mom never never drank, never smoked, you know, breastfed us,

263
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 11: all all the things that you know supposedly you know,

264
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 11: you're right, you know, odds of getting cancer less. But yeah,

265
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 11: she she got it and it was pretty brutal. But yeah,

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 11: seeing her come out on the other side was amazing

267
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 11: and I'll never forget. You know, she had kind of

268
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 11: would tell me that she she felt like Frankenstein. And

269
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 11: I helped her out with everything except for like the

270
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 11: like the drains and the stitches and that kind of part.

271
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 11: I get really woozy with you with that kind of stuff.

272
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 11: So I couldn't do much of that. So I hadn't

273
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 11: really seen her yet. And then one day my daughter

274
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 11: had run into the bathroom when she got out of

275
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 11: the shower, and it was the first time that I

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 11: had seen her, you know, without her breast and you know,

277
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 11: with with her stitches out and stuff, and you know,

278
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 11: it was it was hard, you know, that wasn't even

279
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 11: my body. And I mean I had to go upstairs

280
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 11: and cry just because I remember, like, you know, it's

281
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 11: hard seeing someone you think so strong, you know, look

282
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 11: like that. So I can't imagine what's going through her brain,

283
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 11: you know, looking and seeing herself like that every single day.

284
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 11: And so yeah, after that, I start I went up

285
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 11: I started researching all the trainings, and I was like,

286
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 11: you know what this is it, you know, it is time,

287
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 11: like mom is on the other side of her journey,

288
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 11: like I am ready to go and find training and

289
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 11: get certified. And it was like, you know, it was

290
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 11: totally you know, God or you know, whatever you believe in.

291
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 11: A training was going on that next month in Nashville,

292
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 11: you know, which there wasn't a lot of trainings around.

293
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 11: So this, uh, this girl from Texas was coming and

294
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 11: training people, and so I went and got trained and

295
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 11: it's just been a ongoing thing and it just I

296
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 11: feel like it's one of those things that brows. They

297
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 11: make me feel so happy, and you know, I feel fulfilled.

298
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 11: I love my job, like I I love doing all

299
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 11: aspects of my job, but when I get to do

316
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 7: And here's a clip from this week's episode of The

317
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 7: Sore Losers.

318
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: Guys to our guest.

319
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: I am Troy. I'm from Sydney, Australia, hanging out in

320
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 5: Nashville and Las Vegas this week, filling in for Arnold today.

321
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: Who've left him out there now? But and just I

322
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 5: feel like in a permanent state of hungover in Nashville.

323
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 7: Who are you with?

324
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 5: Just with a maid of mine?

325
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 13: So you just you decided to come to Nashville in Vegas?

326
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 13: Is this your like once a year vacation or have

327
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 13: you ever been to America?

328
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: I don't know to America before once or twice. But

329
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 5: the Penrith Panthers, so they're a rugby league team. Yes,

330
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: they are opening the season in Las Vegas. So we've

331
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: we're branching out in Australia and opening the season in

332
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: Las Vegas. So that's the whole reason that I'm here

333
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 5: just to watch the Panthers. But I thought it'd come

334
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: to Nashville.

335
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 7: Holy hell.

336
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: For a second, I thought the team's in Vegas. Why

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: are you here?

338
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: They're in Vegas, but they play on Saturday, so I'll

339
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 5: be there by Saturday.

340
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 7: So when did you get to Nashville?

341
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: Monday?

342
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: Okay, but you realize Nashville is nowhere near Vegas.

343
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I love country music, I love drinking, and

344
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 5: I love you guys.

345
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 13: Okay, how did you find us?

346
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there's not many Australians Saul Losers fans

347
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: in Australia.

348
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 7: How do you find us? Is it because of the

349
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 7: big show?

350
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 5: Because of the big show? Yeah, music, big show in

351
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: country music, and then you know, navigated over to the

352
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: little show. Okay.

353
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: We're huge in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Coast Reek and

354
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: now Australia. Sydney. I believe that's where we started saying

355
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: she's in us, the French Polynesian I believe. I believe

356
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 3: it's somewhere near Bally.

357
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 7: I have no idea.

358
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 13: So the Peanuts Penrith Panthers, Penrith Panthers, are they like

359
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 13: really good or are they?

360
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: Well? So for most of my life not, but we've

361
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: actually won the last four premierships, so four pete last

362
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: year so before that, as growing up it was a

363
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 5: hard times but but yes, four championships in a row

364
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 5: so pretty epic.

365
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 3: Now clarify it. You said Premier League, but that's not

366
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: soccer and it's rugby the tush push.

367
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 5: It's rugby league, so it's similar to rugby, but it's

368
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: probably a little bit more structured, so probably closer to

369
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 5: the NFL than rugby union is. But yes, so rugby

370
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 5: league would be the number one sport in Australia.

371
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 3: Tell me if I'm right or wrong here over unders.

372
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 3: I believe I bet this back in the day when

373
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: I had an addiction.

374
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 5: That's the whole reason that they're coming to America because

375
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: they think there's a great window for people like Ray

376
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 5: at like three in the morning who want to bet

377
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: on sport in Australia.

378
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 3: Is the over under typically what's the score of a game?

379
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: I would say fifty.

380
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 5: Year probably like forty low forties. Okay, yea.

381
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: So it's just like NFL.

382
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 13: What makes a good rugby team? Because I watched rugby

383
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 13: sometimes like with the Olympics, and I'm like, they all

384
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 13: look the same. They just throw the ball backwards I

385
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 13: don't know the rules. I don't really understand it. So

386
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 13: how do you get good? Like what is the difference

387
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 13: in rugby?

388
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 5: So the difference is in terms of difference between say

389
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: the NFL, for example.

390
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, like what makes them so much like what makes

391
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 13: a good rugby teaven what makes a bad.

392
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 5: Defense is definitely the key. So you want to you

393
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: want to defend well, obviously I'm compared to say the NFL.

394
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: You you both defend an attack, you don't have sort

395
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: of two different teams. But yeah, defenses is absolutely key.

396
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 5: And you're half back, which is equivalent of your quarterback's key. So, uh,

397
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: the Panther's a lucky to play the best player in

398
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: the game in Nathan Cleary is half back and that's,

399
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 5: you know, a big reason why we won the last

400
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 5: four four championships.

401
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 13: Do a lot of rugby players get injured and are

402
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 13: out for the year, Is it like they just play

403
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 13: through it?

404
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, so no pads, no helmets, so they just like

405
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 5: run at each other basically, So plenty of plenty of injuries,

406
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 5: a lot of shoulders, pecks, knees, so yeah, yeah, pretty

407
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 5: pretty big injury list generally through the season.

408
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to go without the condom. I will

409
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 3: remove the headphones and just do it like that sometimes

410
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: because they'll throw me off. Maybe it's the same thing

411
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: with a helmet or something like that. Let me ask

412
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 3: this about Nashville. Ye, so you got here a win

413
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: did you on Monday? And you guys hit Broadway the bars?

414
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: Are you doing an educational thing?

415
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: We did the educational thing. We did the museum and

416
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 5: I see, but we've mainly been at the bars, yes,

417
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 5: and just.

418
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: Are we did you research some you wanted to go

419
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: to the old ones?

420
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

421
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 5: So last night I did do a lot of recess

422
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 5: before we got here, but last night we did the

423
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 5: old one, so tutsi's the stage those ones and the

424
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: night before kind of the biggest ones. We ended up

425
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 5: at Morgan Wall's bar, which I reckon was pretty awesome

426
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 5: on a Monday night, Okay, and of course we yea

427
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 5: it was. It was really good on a Monday night.

428
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 5: But we also, of course, pat tribute to the Sore

429
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 5: Losers Coaches Convention and went to Category ten and Chan

431
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600

Speaker 7: while ago?

480
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: That's very platonic, Okay, I assure you.

481
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of sun in Australia.

482
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 5: Yes, so I've just come from so we're just about

483
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: to finish summer in Australia. Over the last week, I was,

484
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 5: you know, thinking that we're coming to a snowstorm, but

485
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 5: it's actually pretty.

486
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: Warm here because your tan a little bit.

487
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I got sunburn on the weekend before

488
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 5: I got got it.

489
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 7: So what do you do in Australia?

490
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: So I run a or write for a local newspaper

491
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: in Penrith.

492
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 13: Oh the newspaper is still popular yeah in Penis so

493
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 13: like everywhere, of a bit of a change, but in Penrith, yeah,

494
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 13: still going strong. So what do you write about sports?

495
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 13: Do you just write about anything? I write about anything,

496
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 13: but yeah, big focus on sports and rugby.

497
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 5: League geah, guard it lifestyle. So I think this is

498
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 5: a textroduction.

499
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 13: This is a world trip because you're going to cover

500
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 13: the Panthers in Vegas.

501
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 5: That's what I'll be telling the text upontment.

502
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, less sports, more lifestyle.

503
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, what what are you going to do in Vegas?

504
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 5: Where are you staying? Or the Paris in Vegas?

505
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 7: Okay have you ever been to Vegas?

506
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 5: Yes? One, I'm a honeymoon to Vegas.

507
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 7: Okay, how long you've been married?

508
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 5: Ten years?

509
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I would say Paris. That's where I slept

510
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: on Michael's couch. That is when we went on the

511
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 3: back party, the bachelor party was here. It is small

512
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: Ponzi scheme. See I was. I was heavily into gambling,

513
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 3: so I was gambling all this money. I didn't have

514
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: any money to pay for the hotel, so I told

515
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: all them to book at what was MGM MGM, but

516
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: I had no money to book.

517
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 7: No, this is the true story. No, no, bro, this

518
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 7: is the true story.

519
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 5: I know.

520
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: And so Michael, who I slept on his couch at Paris,

521
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: he hit me up and said, hey, do you want

522
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: to sleep on my couch at Paris? And I said, dude,

523
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 3: that's the best thing ever. That's exactly what I'll do.

524
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: So we get to the booth at MGM and Lunch

525
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: is checking in and I still hadn't told him that

526
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: I'm not staying at MGM. Everybody's got their bags and luggage,

527
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: and Lunch goes, yeah, it's me five other guys, and

528
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: the lady goes, I only have rooms for four.

529
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 7: I literally had everybody.

530
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 9: No.

531
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 13: No, here's the point. I said, hey, everybody, give me

532
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 13: your ID. She needs everybody's ID. And Ray still doesn't

533
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 13: have the balls to tell me.

534
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: Is at the ticket counter.

535
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 13: He doesn't have the balls to tell me, hey man,

536
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 13: I'm actually not staying here.

537
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 7: So he hands me.

538
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 13: His ID and so I put five IDs on the

539
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 13: counter so she can check all our rooms in at once.

540
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 13: And she goes, how they have four of these people

541
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 13: down for a room here, And I'm like, who, which

553
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: while after that. It's been a minute, but he has

554

583
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 14: As you're going through this, are you angry because you're like,

584
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 14: I've been doing these.

585
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 12: Checkups for three to six months routinely.

586
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 14: You've been doing everything that you needed to do and

587
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 14: then you find out that it's stage three.

588
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, just in that short amount of time.

589
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 15: And it wasn't like it wasn't one of those super

590
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 15: aggressive ones.

591
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 12: That's something that I.

592
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 15: Still have to deal with mentally, I'm not gonna lie.

593
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 15: There's a few different things. I want to first say

594
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 15: that for some reason, I never asked why me, Like

595
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 15: I've never was like a why me person. I've asked that,

596
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 15: like when my parents, So she can get into later,

597
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 15: I've had cancer and I'm like why them? But I've

598
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 15: never was like why me. I do, though, struggle with

599
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 15: why did they not catch it sooner?

600
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 12: When I was doing.

601
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 15: Everything I was supposed to do, and when I after

602
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 15: I had surgeries, when they told me that was gonna

603
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 15: need chemo, and I remember going into my colleges and

604
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 15: she was like the first time I met her, she

605
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 15: was like I look through all the She's like, I

606
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 15: don't understand.

607
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 12: I don't understand why, why?

608
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 13: Why?

609
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 12: This is this thick?

610
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 15: And you are found out at stage three, so it's

611
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 15: a hard pill to swallow. But then I also look

612
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 15: at it as thank god that I went in that

613
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 15: day because I wasn't I didn't feel it.

614
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 12: I felt it after she felt it.

615
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 15: But me going every six months, I wasn't trying to

616
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 15: fill around as much as I should have.

617
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 12: And so thank god she found it.

618
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 15: So I go back and forth as in like a ugh, like,

619
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 15: how can I swallow this pill?

620
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 5: Up?

621
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 15: I did everything I was supposed to do, but also

622
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 15: she saved my life, so you can't really get too

623
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 15: mad about that.

624
00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 13: Now.

625
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 14: I want to get into more of your cancer journey

626
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 14: in the story, but before we start that, I would

627
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 14: love to hear you mention your family and the cancer

628
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 14: history that you have in your family, which I also

629
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 14: imagine it's just tough on multiple levels that you would

630
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 14: experience this as a family and then you were going

631
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,239
Speaker 14: through it.

632
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 15: So walk me through that side of this a little

633
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 15: bit with the breast cancer part of it. Come to

634
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 15: find out, like later, way later, I didn't realize. I

635
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 15: guess my great grandmother we think may have had breast cancer,

636
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 15: but we weren't. We still aren't one hundred percent sure

637
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 15: with that one. But my mom got diagnosed with breast

638
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 15: cancer a year before me, and hers was stage one,

639
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 15: and so they did what she's called a lump back tomy.

640
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 15: So it's like with me, I did a misectomy where

641
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 15: they took all the tissue and everything. With hers, they

642
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 15: just take the tissue and the surrounding of the cancer

643
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 15: and then they did a they did radiation, so that's

644
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 15: and then she's thank god, been maybe going on nine

645
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 15: years cancer free. But also that was also a weird

646
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 15: I don't want to say blessing, but we went to

647
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 15: the same doctor, so they did start being a little more, Okay,

648
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 15: we need to treat you a little bit better. And

649
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 15: they were telling me even then that maybe when I

650
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 15: turned thirty five, that we need to do an MRI

651
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 15: just to make sure that there's nothing in there since

652
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 15: my mom had it. So I think maybe that was

653
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 15: you know, maybe good at as far as helping them

654
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 15: be more concerned with them, just be like, oh, these

655
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 15: are five broadnomas or whatever. So that was the mom's side.

656
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 15: My dad ended up having melanoma, and his was again,

657
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 15: it wasn't during my treatment, it was right after I finished.

658
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 12: I'll never forget.

659
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 15: I just finished all of my treatment, so the chemo,

660
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 15: the radiation, and my dad my mom was like telling me.

661
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 12: I was like, it was like the end of the year.

662
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 15: I write, after Christmas, and my mom was like, your

663
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 15: dad has melanoma.

664
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 12: And I'm like, oh my gosh.

665
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 15: Like I was supposed to be credy the end of

666
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 15: this and now my dad has melanoma. So it's different cancer.

667
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 15: But it's he's done really well with it. It came back,

668
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 15: but he got it taking care of again, and so

669
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 15: he's knock on wood, doing great now. But yeah, it's

670
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 15: like my brother, he's I'm just waiting for.

671
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 12: This year to try what is happening? You know, he's

672
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 12: got to keep that shoe off.

673
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 15: But yeah, So that's like the family history, and then

674
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 15: a few we could go back way further where it's

675
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 15: like my grandfather had died of cancer, my grandmother died

676
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 15: of cancer, but it wasn't My grandmother was lung cancer.

677
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 15: My grandfather I think it was a sophagal So, yeah,

678
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 15: we have cancer all in our family, but this was

679
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 15: definitely not so much breast cancer until a year before

680
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 15: I got diagnosed.

681
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 14: There's so much with this, but I just have to

682
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 14: imagine that, in the hardest way possible, that it helped you.

683
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, that your.

684
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 14: Family had gone through it and you guys had really

685
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 14: been unfortunately adjusted.

686
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 15: To that, especially my mom. I'll never forget. After I

687
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 15: had the biopsy, I went home, and I had it

688
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 15: on like a Thursday or Wednesday one those days. I

689
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 15: remember I went home and then I like, I do

690
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 15: not suggest this, don't do it I doctor would call

691
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 15: doctor Google, and I remember seeing from the sure in

692
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 15: my head of that ultrasound I was going through and

693
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 15: looking at every picture and of online like cancer not cancer,

694
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 15: and I could tell, okay, I knew that weekend that

695
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 15: I had cancer.

696
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 12: My mom was like, no, you don't whatever.

697
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 15: And I remember going in that Monday and be getting

698
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 15: found out and I was like, I told you I

699
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 15: had it, but I remember I just told Mom was

700
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 15: like I told her. I was like, I'm not strong

701
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 15: like you because she just went through it. And I'm like,

702
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 15: I'm not strong because I'd never felt strong. Every little

703
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 15: thing was such a huge thing to me. I definitely

704
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 15: deal with anxiety. So that was like up to the thousand.

705
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 15: I remember just being like, I don't I'm not strong.

706
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 15: And the reason I say that is because I'm stronger

707
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 15: than I ever knew.

708
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 12: I'm stronger than It's.

709
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 15: Just crazy what you can do and what you're like

710
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 15: mine makes you think that maybe you can't, maybe you're

711
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 15: not strong. And so for my reason to say this

712
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 15: is one thing I did want to say, come on here,

713
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 15: is that anyone that's going through this that's felling you're

714
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 15: not strong.

715
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 12: Everyone's strong.

716
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 15: You just have to feel, you have to be you

717
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 15: just have to be presented. Unfortunately, with something like this

718
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 15: to make you feel like, Wow, I got through this.

719
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 12: I got through all of this. I'm on the other

720
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 12: side of this.

721
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 16: Hey, it's Mike d and this week a movie Mike's

722
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 16: Movie Podcast, I broke down what I think are going

723
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 16: to be the best ten sequels of the year. I

724
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 16: know everybody says that everything is a sequel, everything is

725
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 16: a remake. Well, I wanted to dive into that and

726
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 16: let you know my thoughts on the state a cinema.

727
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 16: I also got into a spoiler free review of The

728
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 16: Monkey and what I think is going to be the

729
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 16: best comedy of the year. Check out this full episode,

730
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 16: but right now here are a couple of my picks

731
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 16: for the best sequels of twenty twenty five and number

732
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 16: two I have Happy Gilmore. It's coming out on Netflix.

733
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 16: The official date still isn't out. I've seen some early

734
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 16: images and stills from the movie. The only thing aside

735
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 16: from that that I feel it's a little bit cash

736
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 16: gravy is this movie is gonna be really heavy with

737
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 16: the cameos. First one wasn't like that. This has kind

738
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 16: of become Adam Sandler's marketing strategy and kind of how

739
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 16: he makes movies now is he includes a lot of

740
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 16: celebrities now to pop up throughout them, and I feel

741
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 16: like that takes away from the art of Adam Sandler,

742
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 16: which his early movies didn't rely on that. I think

743
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 16: it's kind of the model he created with the Grownups movies,

744
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 16: And I think it's because Adam Sandler is at a

745
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 16: point in his life where he just wants to create

746
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 16: fun sets. He wants people to come onto a set

747
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 16: and have a good time while making a movie, often

748
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 16: filmed in tropical locations, So I think that is why

749
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 16: he does this now. He's just trying to have a

750
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 16: good time, which I can't hate on him for. But

751
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 16: I think it's just the fact that it's Happy Gilmore

752
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 16: one of the best movies of his career. When you

753
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 16: talk about top three movies of Adam Sandler that he's

754
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 16: ever done, they all go back to the nineties. I

755
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 16: mean top two is easily Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.

756
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 16: For me, those are the quintessential movies I think about

757
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 16: when I think of Adam Sandler. Maybe it's because they

758
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 16: came out around each other. I also associate them with

759
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 16: having the two Pac DVD back in the day. I

760
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 16: feel like those are his two best movies, even though

761
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 16: I think on any given day, Big Daddy could also

762
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 16: be my favorite. But throwing all those reasons to the

763
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 16: when the fact that Travis Kelsey is in it, Bad

764
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 16: Bunny is in it, you have Shooter McGavin returning, Julie

765
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 16: Bowen is returning, it does have the pieces of the original,

766
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 16: I think to me, it's also just thinking of the

767
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 16: way that Netflix movies look now, where they don't really

768
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 16: look like movies anymore.

769
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 5: They look really.

770
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 16: Glossy and bright and colorful, and doesn't really have that

771
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 16: same warmth a movie from the nineties that I think

772
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 16: a sequel like this needs. So I feel like it's

773
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 16: a weird thing to complain about, but I think the

774
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 16: cinematography isn't going to match the tone of the humor

775
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 16: of Happy Gilmore. I hope that it does, but I'm

776
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 16: so excited just to see what the plot is and

777
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 16: to see how this plays out, and hoping that he

778
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 16: wasn't lying and saying we have a really good script,

779
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 16: that this movie is actually.

780
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 7: Going to be good.

781
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 16: So I ranked it so high because my hopes are

782
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 16: so high. The last time, though, my hopes for this

783
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 16: high an anticipation for a legacy direct sequel like this

784
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 16: was back when they made Dumb and Dumber two and

785
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 16: I was so disappointed in that movie. Don't do me

786
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 16: like that, Adam Sandler. But my hopes are staying high.

787
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 16: At number eight. I have Happy Gilmore two coming out

788
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 16: on Netflix.

789
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 7: Later this year.

790
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 16: How surprising that they're not going to put out this

791
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 16: movie in theaters? Is that another indicator? Because I think

792
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 16: if you had a really good movie on your hands, oh,

793
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 16: do you want to get that thing in theater? But

794
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 16: Netflix pays them so much money and that's gonna be

795
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 16: number one on Netflix for like two to three weeks,

796
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 16: so they're really paying for that. But at number one

797
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 16: coming out on November twenty.

798
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 7: First, it is Wicked for good.

799
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 16: We have Alfa Banow in full control of her power.

800
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 16: She has declared an enemy of the state and turns

801
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 16: into well a full out witch hunt. The thing I

802
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 16: love knowing going into this movie is the fact that

803
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 16: they already told us what happens to her character. At

804
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 16: the beginning of Wicked. It starts with her dying, and

805
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 16: if you've seen the original Wizard of Oz, you already

806
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 16: knew what was going to happen to her character, regardless

807
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 16: to me, in my head, I just can't see it

808
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 16: getting there because I love the character of El Fabas

809
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 16: so much. Cynthia Riewo does an amazing job in the

810
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 16: first one vocally and through acting, say with Ariana Grande,

811
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 16: but in my head, I couldnt see her character getting

812
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 16: to that point. And I'm thinking to myself, like, maybe

813
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 16: they change something, maybe they rewrite history, maybe there's some

814
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 16: kind of magic that happens in between that that doesn't

815
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 16: happen to her character, because I'm so invested and I

816
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 16: love it so much that I don't want to see

817
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 16: that happen to her. But I also think that there's

818
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 16: gonna be some kind of a shift in Wicked for good.

819
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 16: And this is me have never seen Wicked. I've never

820
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 16: seen it. I've never experienced that. I for that reason,

821
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 16: have not looked up any spoilers on what happens in

822
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 16: the musical because I don't want to know. So this

823
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 16: is me pure speculation. What I like to do about

824
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 16: movies is figure out what they're gonna do. So you

825
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 16: might already know. This is just my theory, but I

826
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 16: think there's gonna be some real shift in her character

827
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 16: where you see that rapid decline and maybe we see

828
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 16: ourselves not rooting for her as much as we have been,

829
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 16: and we do see this wickedness come out in her,

830
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 16: where she really starts to change. People around her go

831
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 16: from defending her to being in fear of her. And

832
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 16: then we ultimately do see your demise and it makes

833
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 16: a little bit more sense, or we see the opposite

834
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 16: of her still being kind of a good person and

835
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 16: she sacrifices herself. Because this movie was also split into

836
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 16: two parts, it was originally going to be one movie,

837
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 16: and they had so much story to tell, so much content,

838
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 16: that they split it into two. I am glad that

839
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 16: they are releasing it one year after the first one,

840
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 16: so we don't have to wait a whole lot. I

841
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 16: think it's also smart for them because if you missed

842
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 16: Wicked one in theaters, even though it's about to be

843
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 16: on Peacock on March twenty first, they could have those

844
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 16: double features sold out as well, where you show Wicked

845
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 16: one and then it rolls into Wicked two. Yeah, you're

846
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 16: gonna be at the theater for like five hours, but

847
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 16: I could see some people doing that. Then you're adding

848
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 16: some single along screenings as well, and that is great

849
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 16: for movie theaters and taking this thing full circle. It

850
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 16: is movies like that that create that experience that get

851
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 16: people into the theater and that allow theaters to keep

852
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 16: their doors open. And I will always be for that.

853
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 16: So I'm not anti sequel. I'm just anti wasting money

854
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 16: on things and wasting our time on things that feels

855
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 16: like they weren't really made with the same quality as

856
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 16: the original movies.

857
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 9: Carl Line, she's a queen talking and it was she's

858
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 9: getting really.

859
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 5: Not afraid to face its episode, so just let it flow.

860
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 16: No one can do we quiet Carl Line, It's time

861
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 16: for carelu.

862
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 17: And I will say that there are a lot of

863
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 17: touring things that I mean. I was out on the

864
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 17: road when we were filming Nashville. I was out every

865
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 17: weekend that well, every weekend, so we would film all

866
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 17: the way through during the week to the point where

867
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 17: like after the weekend, I would tour with Charles Eston

868
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 17: and Brandon started coming out with us as well, which

869
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 17: was wonderful, and six Wire, who are a fantastic band,

870
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 17: but we would be pulling onto the lot of where

871
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 17: we were filming in a real tour bus, getting off there,

872
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 17: going into hair and makeup, and then getting onto the

873
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 17: stunt tour bus like the you know, the.

874
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 18: They were living a reality.

875
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 17: Actually, Yeah, and I was absolutely exhausted, Like, you know,

876
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 17: your body is not the same after you've had cancer.

877
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 17: You know, people, especially at such a young developmental age,

878
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 17: there are lots of gifts that it gives you that

879
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 17: continue to give and being also very so just social

880
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 17: interactions sometimes are a little bit difficult for me. They're

881
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 17: much easier now, but there's so much that I wouldn't

882
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 17: have been able to do without Brandon. There the world

883
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 17: got so much more. I was able to see so

884
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 17: much more kindness in the world, and just the world

885
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 17: got softer.

886
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 18: You were protected, you could just drop your guard.

887
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 17: Yeah, when I met Brandon, and there's there's there's always

888
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 17: like the things that happen in life that they happened,

889
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 17: but just being able to interact with people and for

890
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 17: me to be able to turn to him and say,

891
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 17: I'm not sure if someone people tend to say things

892
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 17: that they they say one thing and they meet another

893
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 17: and I don't understand that, and to say to him

894
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 17: like I don't understand what that meant. What did they

895
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 17: and he can tell me it's it's weird. It's like,

896
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 17: you know, you just feel like an alien kind of thing.

897
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 17: But everything about the world got better, including my own

898
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 17: health and safety when Brandon showed up.

899
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 18: Guys, how so having autism as a kid an adult,

900
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 18: I guess, but realizing it, when did you realize it?

901
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 18: And then how did you get into acting if being

902
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 18: around a bunch of people in this kind of situations,

903
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 18: like how did you navigate that and like go into

904
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 18: that field when you were kind of like when people

905
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 18: were kind of nerve wracking to the new room guessing?

906
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 18: How did you find it? And what did your autism?

907
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 18: What does it present as for you? Like how do

908
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 18: you work with it?

909
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 17: For me, it's just it's like I don't even say

910
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 17: that I have I'm not correcting you in any way,

911
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 17: shape or form, because there are so many different ways

912
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 17: people talk about this. I am autistic, it's part of me.

913
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 17: I had cancer. Some people have cancer. I don't. I

914
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 17: don't consider myself to have autism. There's just a difference

915
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 17: between like the my autism is like I am autistic,

916
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 17: I have blonde, I'm like I'm a blonde. Yeah, yeah,

917
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 17: I'm an autistic blonde, Like you know what I mean. Yes,

918
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 17: it manifests as like I was saying earlier, like it's

919
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 17: very difficult for me to sit in a chair for

920
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 17: a very long time and stay still actually have ADHD

921
00:42:55,600 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 17: as well, which steered me to be able to hand

922
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 17: like high energy, high sort of like pressure situations because

923
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 17: I had a mission and the people who diagnosed me

924
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 17: said I probably wouldn't have had the capacity because of

925
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 17: the level of the level of autistic that I am.

926
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 17: I'm between a one and a two. It's like one, two, three,

927
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 17: three you need help with absolutely every element of your life.

928
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 17: Two you need some help, some assistance from somebody. One

929
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 17: you might get away with it on your own, but

930
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 17: you definitely still have some sort of challenges. But you

931
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 17: could go undetected, which is what happened with me. So

932
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 17: I sit between a one and a two. And I've

933
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 17: always needed a little bit of help, and some people

934
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 17: have been more understanding of that and some people haven't.

935
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 17: And a lot of that is just knowing, like knowledge

936
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 17: is power. So once I was diagnosed, which was three

937
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 17: or four years ago now, and it was a really

938
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 17: long process, and it was something that I was able

939
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 17: to do during the pandemic because it was all it's

940
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 17: not a fun process at all.

941
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 7: Two years.

942
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 12: What is the process?

943
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 17: I mean, it's a very in depth, in depth psychiatric

944
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 17: medical like your entire medical history, your psychiatric history, the

945
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 17: psychology that you're living with, that you have lived with,

946
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 17: traits that you have as a child that have stayed.

947
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 17: Some may have stayed, some may have gone away. I

948
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 17: like I could sing before I could talk properly. I

949
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 17: was more I've always been more comfortable around animals than people.

950
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 17: There are certain like fluorescent lights are they always really

951
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 17: bothered me and I just I really thought I put

952
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 17: it all down to my my chemo and that like

953
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 17: I was never going to be I was never going

954
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 17: to have normal, regular health. There is no such thing

955
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 17: as normal. But I had no idea what neurodivergence was.

956
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 17: I I started suspecting that maybe I was on the

957
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 17: spectrum probably ten years ago, but never had the time

958
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 17: and didn't. There was just so much going on. I didn't.

959
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 17: I mean I used to.

960
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 12: I had hyperlexia as.

961
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 17: A child, which is like like I think I read

962
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 17: Silence of the Lambs when I was about seven probably

963
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 17: should have done that, but I really enjoyed it. It

964
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 17: was amazing. But for a seven year old to be

965
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 17: able to process that and not be freaked out by

966
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 17: it and understand what the story was about. Right, it's

967
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 17: the opposite of dyslexia. But okay, I have dyscalculia, so

968
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 17: I can't read analog clocks. It's very difficult to tell

969
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 17: left from right for me. So any director or director

970
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 17: of photography who works with me is just like you know,

971
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 17: and no one's ever given me any like heat about it,

972
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 17: and I really can't count very well. Like honestly, people

973
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 17: are like, oh cute, No, it's not cute. It's actually

974
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 17: like it. At school, I needed help and I didn't

975
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 17: have it because no one knew, and.

976
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 18: So you just kind of had to survive, yeap, And

977
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 18: is that what made you want to start pursuing a

978
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 18: diagnosis for it?

979
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 17: It was actually my dear friend Vivian, who has two

980
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 17: gorgeous little autistic boys. They were the catalyst for the

981
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 17: song Aurora, along with Sean McConnell's daughter Aby, and she

982
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 17: has a different set of challenges. But this song Aurora

983
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 17: is all about being yourself and and like I know,

984
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 17: I know you're different. I know that you don't feel

985
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 17: like you're being seen for who you are. I know

986
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 17: that I know that you don't understand what's going on.

987
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 17: I know you don't get the world around you. It's okay,

988
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 17: like you're beautiful. It's there's nothing wrong with you. That's

989
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 17: what Aurora is all about. And Viv, who has been

990
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 17: a friend of mine since we were eleven, she's known

991
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 17: me for a long time. Takes a really good friend

992
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 17: to call you and say I've been you know, she said,

993
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 17: I've been doing all of this research for the boys

994
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 17: to help protect them. She's such a wonderful parent, just

995
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 17: navigating their journey through life as to autistic children who

996
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 17: have different sets of needs that have to be meant

997
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 17: for them to thrive. And she said, you know, I've

998
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 17: discovered a few things about myself along the way, and

999
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,759
