<v Speaker 1>Ringo star a beato. That's a bad accent at my house.

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you one more question about yourandparents

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>because that resonates with me so much.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Did they get to see your success?

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 4>No, I was in the band then, and sort of.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 5>I was in.

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 6>And we were playing in Germany. I was with Rory

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 6>by then Rory's some of the Hurricanes, and I was

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 6>there when my granddad went, and I was doing the

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 6>gig in Germany when my grandma went, so I couldn't

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 6>come home because everyone would had to play. But no,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 6>they didn't see it like unfolding. I mean, they knew

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 6>I played, but they never came to a gig and

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 6>we went big time.

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 4>We were local bands.

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>What was your in your mind?

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You're ceiling when you were starting out and you're playing clubs,

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you're traveling around, like how big did you think?

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>How far did you think you could go in music?

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 4>I didn't.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 6>I don't remember like thinking that. One of my mom's

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 6>best friends, Annie Maguire, she would say, you know, I'd

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 6>be hitting them in the house. I can see you

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 6>on the London Palladium one day, son, and she gave spirits,

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 6>so a lot of people in Liverpool gave your spirit.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 6>Anyway I played, I only could take the snare because

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 6>we were a skiffle group. And Eddie Clayton, the guy

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 6>next door, and he was in the factory. I was

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 6>in the factory and Roy the you know, it was

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 6>just a wooden box with a pole and that was

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 6>the base and I had a surle and that's how

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 6>we started. And we had no sense of timing. I

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 6>remember that once we played some sort of dance and oh, Maggie,

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 6>Maggie May, they are taking her away and each other dancing.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 6>They're dancing cause you saw it down. So I'm amazed

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 6>because I have really great time. You know time, and

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm good at that. I mean, it's just God given

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 6>gift that I can keep time.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 2>What was your job in the factory.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 6>My job was to be an apprentice engineer. At first

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 6>I worked on the rail ways as a delivery kid boy.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 6>I was sixteen. And then I was on the coastal boats,

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 6>like party boats, where like four or five hundred people

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 6>would go from Liverpool to Wales and all they did

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 6>was drink all the way and drink all the way back.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 6>And I lasted five weeks on the railway, five weeks

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 6>on the boats, and then my mom you know, oh,

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 6>I've been fired, and by Monday she'd got me in

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 6>a new job, and she got me this job in

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 6>the factory. But while in that factory, that's when it

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 6>came I want to play. I want to play. And

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 6>then I joined this other group, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes,

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 6>and we got this three month gig in a holiday

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 6>camp in England. So I decided I'm leaving the factory.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 6>I was just twenty ish, and all of my family

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 6>came to our house to tell me it's all right

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 6>as a hobby sone, but they wanted me to keep

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 6>that job. You know, and I said no, no, I'm

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 6>going and you know that's why I changed my name. Also,

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 6>we went to this gig three months we were going

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 6>to be there in the Rock and Calypso Ballroom.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 7>And.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 6>I changed my name fully to Ringo then because in Liverpool,

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 6>if you do something, you know, if you're limping, that

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 6>you'd probably be called limpy. But I started wearing rings

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 6>that sort of a take on my mom. She loved

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 6>flashy stuff, and so some people were starting to say,

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 6>hey rings, what's going on?

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, like gang members, we'd be hey rings.

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 6>And we got to Buttland's holiday camp and we all

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 6>changed on. The guitarist called himself Tyle Brian and Johnny

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 6>guitar was great, and uh, the.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Name was Johnny Guitar. His name, I assume you played

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>guitar Ny guitar.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Really, yeah, because he changed his names to that. Really

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 6>his name was Johnny, but it's you know, it was

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 6>another name, family name. And uh, I put like Ringo, Stocky,

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 6>that's not that Stocky doesn't look you know.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Didn't look right. So I put Ringo star.

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you two rs the first time?

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 6>Two rs to make it star? And uh and it's

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 6>been that ever since. Ball of the family who called

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 6>me dad or granddad.

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I've got two final questions for you.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you made the record and it was complete

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and you're able to hear it all back, did you

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>like and do you like to listen to your own projects?

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And what did you think about this one when it

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was all the way done? Your own thoughts of your own.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 6>Project when it was finished. I thought it was great. No,

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 6>I really loved it myself, and it was very to me.

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 6>I like to be The vocal was great, as I said,

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 6>it was it. They were all in my key and

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 6>it's like in a way though you know, we didn't

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 6>never live together. It was put together by a man

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 6>who knew me and and I think I'm tired of

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 6>thank you.

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>My final question something again we alluded to earlier, was

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>playing in the clubs and a lot of artists miss

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 1>out on that now and they kind of get famous

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>before they're ready.

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I think they.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, they have a hit in January, like those

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.599
<v Speaker 6>TV shows for the singing the singer who wins has

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 6>a number one in January, and you don't air from

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 6>him after May.

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>It's all over and they're not really able to They

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to deal.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they're not able to develop even as a performer,

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>right because they don't do the clubs.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.119
<v Speaker 2>They're ong clubs.

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>They got so famous so fast. You know, the kind

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 1>of the legendary story about you guys. You'd be in

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>a club in Germany and play for like six hours

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a night.

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 6>Is that actually do two bands? When I was there

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 6>with Rory and the Beatles were there. When we were

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 6>the two bands, we were on separate clubs at the beginning.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 6>Then Koshma, the guy on the clubs, put us both

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 6>on one club and we would battle each other for

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 6>the audience, you know what I mean. It would stomp

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 6>in and stuff. But at weekends we did twelve hours

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 6>between us. Yeah, and you know, I love it because

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 6>we're in that book ten thousand hours, and they actually

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 6>mentioned we actually put in our ten thousand Now.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where I first knew of the story

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.119
<v Speaker 1>reading that book. You'd put in that whole time.

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 6>We'd play anywhere and Saturday night in Liverpool whatever, the

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 6>gig was one of the clubs that have an all

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 6>night and they were so cheap they'd only ever hire

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 6>a trio to custom less and or all of us

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.960
<v Speaker 6>were to these clubs and just play all night. Any

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 6>chance we had to play, we would play.

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, now you can put your iPhone on a little

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>stand and read the lyrics. You didn't have iPhones back then.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>You had to remember or guess.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, now I can't work without my little lyrics sheets.

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.320

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.559
<v Speaker 10>and the passion side of your work. I know you're

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 10>passionate about both, but being able to give women confidence

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 10>back if they have lost their breasts because of breast cancer.

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 10>Just share a little bit of that, just in case

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 10>there's one person that needs to know your info, your number,

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 10>or they have a BFF or a sister that needs

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 10>to be calling you to be able to get that

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 10>confidence back.

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 11>Yes, yes, oh I love it. That is where my

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 11>heart is. I love brows. I love it. But I'd

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 11>always seen the areolas and been like, oh, I'm going

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 11>to do that one day. You know, you just put

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 11>it in your back pocket and you think about it.

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 11>But I'm busy doing all my other things. You know,

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 11>that was the last thing that I thought I had

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 11>time for at the moment. My dad he did pass

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 11>away from colon cancer also, so I've had you know,

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 11>my dad and my mom both affected with cancer. And

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 11>it's just I know you have.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 10>Well in March's colon cancer awareness. Oh yeah, so we're

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 10>coming up on that, and I think I'm glad you

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 10>mentioned that because if you see any symptoms, book and appointment,

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.719
<v Speaker 10>because early detection is everything with.

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 11>Colon cancer, and that that was what happened. Unfortunate with

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 11>my dad. He found out it was you know, stage four,

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 11>and he's that you know, he never went to the doctor,

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 11>never complained, you know, just little workhorse, just did his

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 11>own thing, and so he had little things that he saw,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 11>but he just never never did it, never got colonoscopies

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 11>any of that stuff. And unfortunately he found out, Yeah,

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 11>we found out around New Year's one year and then

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 11>it was stage four and by the next April he

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 11>had passed. So he had two chemos and unfortunately his

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 11>body just was you know, too far gone.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 10>Well, I feel like you sharing that now and then

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 10>with March being right around the corner, people are going

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 10>to start seeing more, which is great, but awareness is everything.

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 10>So in March, I hope that people are just inundated

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 10>with facts and information because your dad, being an older man,

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 10>that's who people used to think would just get it. Yeah,

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 10>it was just older men, but it is happening to younger, yes,

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 10>and younger and younger people and women.

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 10>Two, So I think I saw a stat that's like

0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 10>one in twenty four people are going to be diagnosed

0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 10>with calling cancer. So that's just one of those things

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 10>that if you can catch it early, if you have

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 10>any of the symptoms and maybe you're even being told

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 10>it could be something else like oh maybe it's a hemorrhoid,

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 10>or just get a second opinion or listen to your

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 10>gut and make sure that you advocate for yourself, because

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 10>this is one of those cancers that, yeah, if you

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 10>catch it early, your survival rate is very high. If

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 10>you don't, or if you ignore something or you go

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 10>too long, then that's when it gets deadly, which you

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.320
<v Speaker 10>unfortunately had to walk through with your dad. So you

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 10>went through that with him, and then your mom had

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 10>breast cancer.

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 12>Fast forward three years later.

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, my mom was diagnosed with a stage three breast cancer.

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 11>And she felt a lump, you know, as she checked

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 11>herself and felt it one day. And my mom's a nurse,

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 11>and yeah, it was crazy. My daughter was one and

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 11>you know, had my business and then my mom ended

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 11>up coming and living with me. So I kind of

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 11>was responsible for making sure that she had you know,

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 11>had her little friends on a chat list and would

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 11>make sure someone would check on her and do all

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 11>the things. And you know, we got her do all

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 11>of her appointments. But just personally seeing what someone goes through,

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 11>I mean, it's awful. It's it's brutal, and you always

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 11>think that, you know, you see people go through it,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 11>or you hear people go through it, you know, through

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 11>the grapevine, but when it's actually your life, like seeing

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 11>my mom. And my mom is strong, you know, she

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 11>had six kids. She she did all the right things.

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 11>My mom never never drank, never smoked, you know, breastfed us,

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.760
<v Speaker 11>all all the things that you know supposedly you know,

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 11>you're right, you know, odds of getting cancer less. But yeah,

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 11>she she got it and it was pretty brutal. But yeah,

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 11>seeing her come out on the other side was amazing

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 11>and I'll never forget. You know, she had kind of

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 11>would tell me that she she felt like Frankenstein. And

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 11>I helped her out with everything except for like the

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 11>like the drains and the stitches and that kind of part.

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 11>I get really woozy with you with that kind of stuff.

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 11>So I couldn't do much of that. So I hadn't

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 11>really seen her yet. And then one day my daughter

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 11>had run into the bathroom when she got out of

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 11>the shower, and it was the first time that I

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 11>had seen her, you know, without her breast and you know,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 11>with with her stitches out and stuff, and you know,

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 11>it was it was hard, you know, that wasn't even

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 11>my body. And I mean I had to go upstairs

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 11>and cry just because I remember, like, you know, it's

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 11>hard seeing someone you think so strong, you know, look

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 11>like that. So I can't imagine what's going through her brain,

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 11>you know, looking and seeing herself like that every single day.

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 11>And so yeah, after that, I start I went up

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 11>I started researching all the trainings, and I was like,

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 11>you know what this is it, you know, it is time,

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 11>like mom is on the other side of her journey,

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 11>like I am ready to go and find training and

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 11>get certified. And it was like, you know, it was

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 11>totally you know, God or you know, whatever you believe in.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 11>A training was going on that next month in Nashville,

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 11>you know, which there wasn't a lot of trainings around.

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 11>So this, uh, this girl from Texas was coming and

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 11>training people, and so I went and got trained and

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 11>it's just been a ongoing thing and it just I

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 11>feel like it's one of those things that brows. They

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 11>make me feel so happy, and you know, I feel fulfilled.

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 11>I love my job, like I I love doing all

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 11>aspects of my job, but when I get to do

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 11>Ariola's it truly it makes me feel like I am,

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 11>you know, impacting the world in such a positive way,

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 11>and like, you know, I'm helping fight for my mom

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 11>and my dad and you know all those things.

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.760
<v Speaker 13>So you just you decided to come to Nashville in Vegas?

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 13>Is this your like once a year vacation or have

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 13>you ever been to America?

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't know to America before once or twice. But

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 5>the Penrith Panthers, so they're a rugby league team. Yes,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 5>they are opening the season in Las Vegas. So we've

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 5>we're branching out in Australia and opening the season in

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 5>Las Vegas. So that's the whole reason that I'm here

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 5>just to watch the Panthers. But I thought it'd come

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 5>to Nashville.

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 7>Holy hell.

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 3>For a second, I thought the team's in Vegas. Why

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 3>are you here?

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 5>They're in Vegas, but they play on Saturday, so I'll

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 5>be there by Saturday.

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 7>So when did you get to Nashville?

0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 5>Monday?

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but you realize Nashville is nowhere near Vegas.

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I love country music, I love drinking, and

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 5>I love you guys.

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 13>Okay, how did you find us?

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, yeah, there's not many Australians Saul Losers fans

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 5>in Australia.

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 7>How do you find us? Is it because of the

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 7>big show?

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 5>Because of the big show? Yeah, music, big show in

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 5>country music, and then you know, navigated over to the

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 5>little show. Okay.

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 3>We're huge in Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Coast Reek and

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 3>now Australia. Sydney. I believe that's where we started saying

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 3>she's in us, the French Polynesian I believe. I believe

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 3>it's somewhere near Bally.

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 7>I have no idea.

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 13>So the Peanuts Penrith Panthers, Penrith Panthers, are they like

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 13>really good or are they?

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 5>Well? So for most of my life not, but we've

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 5>actually won the last four premierships, so four pete last

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 5>year so before that, as growing up it was a

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 5>hard times but but yes, four championships in a row

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 5>so pretty epic.

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Now clarify it. You said Premier League, but that's not

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 3>soccer and it's rugby the tush push.

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 5>It's rugby league, so it's similar to rugby, but it's

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 5>probably a little bit more structured, so probably closer to

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 5>the NFL than rugby union is. But yes, so rugby

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 5>league would be the number one sport in Australia.

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 3>Tell me if I'm right or wrong here over unders.

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I believe I bet this back in the day when

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 3>I had an addiction.

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 5>That's the whole reason that they're coming to America because

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 5>they think there's a great window for people like Ray

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:32.920
<v Speaker 5>at like three in the morning who want to bet

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 5>on sport in Australia.

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Is the over under typically what's the score of a game?

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I would say fifty.

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 5>Year probably like forty low forties. Okay, yea.

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 3>So it's just like NFL.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 13>What makes a good rugby team? Because I watched rugby

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 13>sometimes like with the Olympics, and I'm like, they all

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 13>look the same. They just throw the ball backwards I

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 13>don't know the rules. I don't really understand it. So

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 13>how do you get good? Like what is the difference

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:56.480
<v Speaker 13>in rugby?

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.400
<v Speaker 5>So the difference is in terms of difference between say

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 5>the NFL, for example.

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, like what makes them so much like what makes

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 13>a good rugby teaven what makes a bad.

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 5>Defense is definitely the key. So you want to you

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 5>want to defend well, obviously I'm compared to say the NFL.

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 5>You you both defend an attack, you don't have sort

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 5>of two different teams. But yeah, defenses is absolutely key.

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.399
<v Speaker 5>And you're half back, which is equivalent of your quarterback's key. So, uh,

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 5>the Panther's a lucky to play the best player in

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 5>the game in Nathan Cleary is half back and that's,

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:25.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, a big reason why we won the last

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 5>four four championships.

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.199
<v Speaker 13>Do a lot of rugby players get injured and are

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 13>out for the year, Is it like they just play

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 13>through it?

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so no pads, no helmets, so they just like

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.640
<v Speaker 5>run at each other basically, So plenty of plenty of injuries,

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.639
<v Speaker 5>a lot of shoulders, pecks, knees, so yeah, yeah, pretty

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 5>pretty big injury list generally through the season.

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you got to go without the condom. I will

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.360
<v Speaker 3>remove the headphones and just do it like that sometimes

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 3>because they'll throw me off. Maybe it's the same thing

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 3>with a helmet or something like that. Let me ask

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 3>this about Nashville. Ye, so you got here a win

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 3>did you on Monday? And you guys hit Broadway the bars?

0:19:57.680 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Are you doing an educational thing?

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 5>We did the educational thing. We did the museum and

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.640
<v Speaker 5>I see, but we've mainly been at the bars, yes,

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 5>and just.

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Are we did you research some you wanted to go

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 3>to the old ones?

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 5>So last night I did do a lot of recess

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 5>before we got here, but last night we did the

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 5>old one, so tutsi's the stage those ones and the

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 5>night before kind of the biggest ones. We ended up

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 5>at Morgan Wall's bar, which I reckon was pretty awesome

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 5>on a Monday night, Okay, and of course we yea

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 5>it was. It was really good on a Monday night.

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 5>But we also, of course, pat tribute to the Sore

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 5>Losers Coaches Convention and went to Category ten and Chan

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 5>this last night and today we're going to the nash

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 5>Real Tractor, which I only found out about from Sore Losers,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.200
<v Speaker 5>so they should be aware of that.

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 7>That is what I'm talking about.

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Let them know, please?

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 7>Did you does your mate know what this? Sore losers?

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm saying, mate, you go to their friend know about

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 7>the podcast.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:50.640
<v Speaker 5>He knows about it, but he doesn't listen yet.

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 7>And he's like, you're wait, you're so. I'm hung over

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:53.199
<v Speaker 7>at the hotel and.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 5>He's gone to a bar. He just sent me a message.

0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 5>Is it a bar? At eleven? Am? Just im a drink? Again?

0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 3>That's the beautiful thing about Nashville. You can go to

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 3>the bars early. We did learn living downtown the hard

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 3>thing on Sundays. I don't think you can go before

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:09.560
<v Speaker 3>eleven weekdays all game. But and you can actually drink

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.640
<v Speaker 3>in the bar before you can buy alcohol at gas

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 3>stations and grocery stores on a Sunday it's noon.

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 13>The good news is he won't be here on Sunday.

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 13>He'll be in Las Vegas because they play on set

0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 13>the Peen Earth Peen Panthers Pinearth Panthers. That's tough to say.

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 7>So do you live in.

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Oh, my gosh, can you say it?

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:28.359

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.640
<v Speaker 5>There is a new Rugby League franchise coming to Perth.

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 5>Do you live on the water or Inland. No, Inland, Yeah,

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 5>say forty five minutes.

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you watch uh Love Island Australia?

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:42.600

<v Speaker 1>No?

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.120
<v Speaker 5>Like, to be honest with you, we watched mainly American

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 5>TV eight like there is Australian made stuff, but all

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.159
<v Speaker 5>the all the American shows that generally what what we

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.959
<v Speaker 5>watch it? And literally just yesterday HBO Max announced coming to Australia.

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 5>We don't have HBO Max really no. So we're March

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.440
<v Speaker 5>thirty one with the last of US season two. They're

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:06.119
<v Speaker 5>they're launching.

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 13>So that's pretty cool. Do you watch Okay, there's an

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.119
<v Speaker 13>Australian show. I watch Colin from Account.

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that is all. That is fantastic. I actually know.

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.719
<v Speaker 5>I'm Harriet Dyer, who's the lead girl. Really knew each

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 5>other a while ago.

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.680
<v Speaker 7>So what do you mean you knew each other a

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 7>while ago?

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 5>That's very platonic, Okay, I assure you.

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 3>And there's a lot of sun in Australia.

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 5>Yes, so I've just come from so we're just about

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 5>to finish summer in Australia. Over the last week, I was,

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, thinking that we're coming to a snowstorm, but

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 5>it's actually pretty.

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Warm here because your tan a little bit.

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think I got sunburn on the weekend before

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.199
<v Speaker 5>I got got it.

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 7>So what do you do in Australia?

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 5>So I run a or write for a local newspaper

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 5>in Penrith.

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 13>Oh the newspaper is still popular yeah in Penis so

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.160
<v Speaker 13>like everywhere, of a bit of a change, but in Penrith, yeah,

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 13>still going strong. So what do you write about sports?

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 13>Do you just write about anything? I write about anything,

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 13>but yeah, big focus on sports and rugby.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 5>League geah, guard it lifestyle. So I think this is

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 5>a textroduction.

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 13>This is a world trip because you're going to cover

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 13>the Panthers in Vegas.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:07.439
<v Speaker 5>That's what I'll be telling the text upontment.

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, less sports, more lifestyle.

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, what what are you going to do in Vegas?

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Where are you staying? Or the Paris in Vegas?

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:14.640
<v Speaker 7>Okay have you ever been to Vegas?

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes? One, I'm a honeymoon to Vegas.

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay, how long you've been married?

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 5>Ten years?

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, I would say Paris. That's where I slept

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:23.919
<v Speaker 3>on Michael's couch. That is when we went on the

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 3>back party, the bachelor party was here. It is small

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Ponzi scheme. See I was. I was heavily into gambling,

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.399
<v Speaker 3>so I was gambling all this money. I didn't have

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 3>any money to pay for the hotel, so I told

0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 3>all them to book at what was MGM MGM, but

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 3>I had no money to book.

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 7>No, this is the true story. No, no, bro, this

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:41.359
<v Speaker 7>is the true story.

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:41.719
<v Speaker 5>I know.

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.480
<v Speaker 3>And so Michael, who I slept on his couch at Paris,

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 3>he hit me up and said, hey, do you want

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 3>to sleep on my couch at Paris? And I said, dude,

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:50.439
<v Speaker 3>that's the best thing ever. That's exactly what I'll do.

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 3>So we get to the booth at MGM and Lunch

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 3>is checking in and I still hadn't told him that

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not staying at MGM. Everybody's got their bags and luggage,

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 3>and Lunch goes, yeah, it's me five other guys, and

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 3>the lady goes, I only have rooms for four.

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 7>I literally had everybody.

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 9>No.

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 13>No, here's the point. I said, hey, everybody, give me

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 13>your ID. She needs everybody's ID. And Ray still doesn't

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:16.719
<v Speaker 13>have the balls to tell me.

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Is at the ticket counter.

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 13>He doesn't have the balls to tell me, hey man,

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:21.920
<v Speaker 13>I'm actually not staying here.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 7>So he hands me.

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 13>His ID and so I put five IDs on the

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.880
<v Speaker 13>counter so she can check all our rooms in at once.

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 13>And she goes, how they have four of these people

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 13>down for a room here, And I'm like, who, which

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 13>one's not?

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 5>That's here?

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Guys who isn't registered?

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 13>And she picks up and she goes a Raymond, he

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:43.440
<v Speaker 13>doesn't have a room here. And I turn around and

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 13>ray goes, oh yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm staying

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 13>at Paris with Michael.

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 7>Here's the best part.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:55.120
<v Speaker 13>Here's the best part, Troy, I mean, here's the best part.

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.199
<v Speaker 7>When's the last time you talked to Michael?

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Sadly but not no. He kept in touch a little

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:03.440
<v Speaker 3>while after that. It's been a minute, but he has

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 3>a family as kids. Sometimes he's in Mexico. I don't

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 3>think there's great service. You have to have WhatsApp. It's

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 3>been a minute. I get it, it was short lived. Had

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:12.880
<v Speaker 3>a hell of a night at Paris with him.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 7>I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now my question, do you

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 7>have kids?

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:16.120
<v Speaker 5>One daughter? Yes?

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:16.600

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:21.320

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:21.960

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 14>As you're going through this, are you angry because you're like,

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 14>I've been doing these.

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 12>Checkups for three to six months routinely.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 14>You've been doing everything that you needed to do and

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 14>then you find out that it's stage three.

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, just in that short amount of time.

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 15>And it wasn't like it wasn't one of those super

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 15>aggressive ones.

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 12>That's something that I.

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:43.120
<v Speaker 15>Still have to deal with mentally, I'm not gonna lie.

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 15>There's a few different things. I want to first say

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 15>that for some reason, I never asked why me, Like

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 15>I've never was like a why me person. I've asked that,

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 15>like when my parents, So she can get into later,

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 15>I've had cancer and I'm like why them? But I've

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 15>never was like why me. I do, though, struggle with

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 15>why did they not catch it sooner?

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 12>When I was doing.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 15>Everything I was supposed to do, and when I after

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 15>I had surgeries, when they told me that was gonna

0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 15>need chemo, and I remember going into my colleges and

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 15>she was like the first time I met her, she

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 15>was like I look through all the She's like, I

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 15>don't understand.

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 12>I don't understand why, why?

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 13>Why?

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 12>This is this thick?

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 15>And you are found out at stage three, so it's

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 15>a hard pill to swallow. But then I also look

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 15>at it as thank god that I went in that

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 15>day because I wasn't I didn't feel it.

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 12>I felt it after she felt it.

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 15>But me going every six months, I wasn't trying to

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 15>fill around as much as I should have.

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 12>And so thank god she found it.

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 15>So I go back and forth as in like a ugh, like,

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:51.880
<v Speaker 15>how can I swallow this pill?

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 5>Up?

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.159
<v Speaker 15>I did everything I was supposed to do, but also

0:27:54.800 --> 0:27:58.400
<v Speaker 15>she saved my life, so you can't really get too

0:27:58.440 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 15>mad about that.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 13>Now.

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 14>I want to get into more of your cancer journey

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.920
<v Speaker 14>in the story, but before we start that, I would

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 14>love to hear you mention your family and the cancer

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 14>history that you have in your family, which I also

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 14>imagine it's just tough on multiple levels that you would

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 14>experience this as a family and then you were going

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:16.239
<v Speaker 14>through it.

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 15>So walk me through that side of this a little

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:21.080
<v Speaker 15>bit with the breast cancer part of it. Come to

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 15>find out, like later, way later, I didn't realize. I

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 15>guess my great grandmother we think may have had breast cancer,

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 15>but we weren't. We still aren't one hundred percent sure

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 15>with that one. But my mom got diagnosed with breast

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:38.160
<v Speaker 15>cancer a year before me, and hers was stage one,

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 15>and so they did what she's called a lump back tomy.

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 15>So it's like with me, I did a misectomy where

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 15>they took all the tissue and everything. With hers, they

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 15>just take the tissue and the surrounding of the cancer

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 15>and then they did a they did radiation, so that's

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 15>and then she's thank god, been maybe going on nine

0:28:54.040 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 15>years cancer free. But also that was also a weird

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.080
<v Speaker 15>I don't want to say blessing, but we went to

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 15>the same doctor, so they did start being a little more, Okay,

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 15>we need to treat you a little bit better. And

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:07.520
<v Speaker 15>they were telling me even then that maybe when I

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 15>turned thirty five, that we need to do an MRI

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 15>just to make sure that there's nothing in there since

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 15>my mom had it. So I think maybe that was

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 15>you know, maybe good at as far as helping them

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 15>be more concerned with them, just be like, oh, these

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 15>are five broadnomas or whatever. So that was the mom's side.

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 15>My dad ended up having melanoma, and his was again,

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:30.600
<v Speaker 15>it wasn't during my treatment, it was right after I finished.

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 12>I'll never forget.

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:34.480
<v Speaker 15>I just finished all of my treatment, so the chemo,

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 15>the radiation, and my dad my mom was like telling me.

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 12>I was like, it was like the end of the year.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 15>I write, after Christmas, and my mom was like, your

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 15>dad has melanoma.

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 12>And I'm like, oh my gosh.

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 15>Like I was supposed to be credy the end of

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 15>this and now my dad has melanoma. So it's different cancer.

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 15>But it's he's done really well with it. It came back,

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 15>but he got it taking care of again, and so

0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 15>he's knock on wood, doing great now. But yeah, it's

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 15>like my brother, he's I'm just waiting for.

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 12>This year to try what is happening? You know, he's

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 12>got to keep that shoe off.

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 15>But yeah, So that's like the family history, and then

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 15>a few we could go back way further where it's

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 15>like my grandfather had died of cancer, my grandmother died

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 15>of cancer, but it wasn't My grandmother was lung cancer.

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 15>My grandfather I think it was a sophagal So, yeah,

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 15>we have cancer all in our family, but this was

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 15>definitely not so much breast cancer until a year before

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 15>I got diagnosed.

0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 14>There's so much with this, but I just have to

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 14>imagine that, in the hardest way possible, that it helped you.

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, that your.

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 14>Family had gone through it and you guys had really

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 14>been unfortunately adjusted.

0:30:41.560 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 15>To that, especially my mom. I'll never forget. After I

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 15>had the biopsy, I went home, and I had it

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 15>on like a Thursday or Wednesday one those days. I

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 15>remember I went home and then I like, I do

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 15>not suggest this, don't do it I doctor would call

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 15>doctor Google, and I remember seeing from the sure in

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 15>my head of that ultrasound I was going through and

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 15>looking at every picture and of online like cancer not cancer,

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 15>and I could tell, okay, I knew that weekend that

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 15>I had cancer.

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 12>My mom was like, no, you don't whatever.

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 15>And I remember going in that Monday and be getting

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 15>found out and I was like, I told you I

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:20.920
<v Speaker 15>had it, but I remember I just told Mom was

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 15>like I told her. I was like, I'm not strong

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 15>like you because she just went through it. And I'm like,

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 15>I'm not strong because I'd never felt strong. Every little

0:31:30.200 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 15>thing was such a huge thing to me. I definitely

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 15>deal with anxiety. So that was like up to the thousand.

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 15>I remember just being like, I don't I'm not strong.

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 15>And the reason I say that is because I'm stronger

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 15>than I ever knew.

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 12>I'm stronger than It's.

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.680
<v Speaker 15>Just crazy what you can do and what you're like

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:52.000
<v Speaker 15>mine makes you think that maybe you can't, maybe you're

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 15>not strong. And so for my reason to say this

0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 15>is one thing I did want to say, come on here,

0:31:56.960 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 15>is that anyone that's going through this that's felling you're

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 15>not strong.

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 12>Everyone's strong.

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 15>You just have to feel, you have to be you

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 15>just have to be presented. Unfortunately, with something like this

0:32:08.520 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 15>to make you feel like, Wow, I got through this.

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 12>I got through all of this. I'm on the other

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 12>side of this.

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 16>Hey, it's Mike d and this week a movie Mike's

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 16>Movie Podcast, I broke down what I think are going

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 16>to be the best ten sequels of the year. I

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 16>know everybody says that everything is a sequel, everything is

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 16>a remake. Well, I wanted to dive into that and

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 16>let you know my thoughts on the state a cinema.

0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 16>I also got into a spoiler free review of The

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 16>Monkey and what I think is going to be the

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 16>best comedy of the year. Check out this full episode,

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 16>but right now here are a couple of my picks

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 16>for the best sequels of twenty twenty five and number

0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:59.719
<v Speaker 16>two I have Happy Gilmore. It's coming out on Netflix.

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 16>The official date still isn't out. I've seen some early

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 16>images and stills from the movie. The only thing aside

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 16>from that that I feel it's a little bit cash

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:15.719
<v Speaker 16>gravy is this movie is gonna be really heavy with

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 16>the cameos. First one wasn't like that. This has kind

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 16>of become Adam Sandler's marketing strategy and kind of how

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 16>he makes movies now is he includes a lot of

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 16>celebrities now to pop up throughout them, and I feel

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 16>like that takes away from the art of Adam Sandler,

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 16>which his early movies didn't rely on that. I think

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 16>it's kind of the model he created with the Grownups movies,

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 16>And I think it's because Adam Sandler is at a

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:44.719
<v Speaker 16>point in his life where he just wants to create

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 16>fun sets. He wants people to come onto a set

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 16>and have a good time while making a movie, often

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 16>filmed in tropical locations, So I think that is why

0:33:56.360 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 16>he does this now. He's just trying to have a

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 16>good time, which I can't hate on him for. But

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 16>I think it's just the fact that it's Happy Gilmore

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 16>one of the best movies of his career. When you

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 16>talk about top three movies of Adam Sandler that he's

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 16>ever done, they all go back to the nineties. I

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 16>mean top two is easily Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 16>For me, those are the quintessential movies I think about

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.680
<v Speaker 16>when I think of Adam Sandler. Maybe it's because they

0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 16>came out around each other. I also associate them with

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:26.239
<v Speaker 16>having the two Pac DVD back in the day. I

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 16>feel like those are his two best movies, even though

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.760
<v Speaker 16>I think on any given day, Big Daddy could also

0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:35.880
<v Speaker 16>be my favorite. But throwing all those reasons to the

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 16>when the fact that Travis Kelsey is in it, Bad

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 16>Bunny is in it, you have Shooter McGavin returning, Julie

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:46.319
<v Speaker 16>Bowen is returning, it does have the pieces of the original,

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.799
<v Speaker 16>I think to me, it's also just thinking of the

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:52.439
<v Speaker 16>way that Netflix movies look now, where they don't really

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:53.720
<v Speaker 16>look like movies anymore.

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 5>They look really.

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:58.960
<v Speaker 16>Glossy and bright and colorful, and doesn't really have that

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 16>same warmth a movie from the nineties that I think

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 16>a sequel like this needs. So I feel like it's

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 16>a weird thing to complain about, but I think the

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.760
<v Speaker 16>cinematography isn't going to match the tone of the humor

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 16>of Happy Gilmore. I hope that it does, but I'm

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.560
<v Speaker 16>so excited just to see what the plot is and

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 16>to see how this plays out, and hoping that he

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:24.720
<v Speaker 16>wasn't lying and saying we have a really good script,

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:26.760
<v Speaker 16>that this movie is actually.

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 7>Going to be good.

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 16>So I ranked it so high because my hopes are

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 16>so high. The last time, though, my hopes for this

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 16>high an anticipation for a legacy direct sequel like this

0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:39.839
<v Speaker 16>was back when they made Dumb and Dumber two and

0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 16>I was so disappointed in that movie. Don't do me

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 16>like that, Adam Sandler. But my hopes are staying high.

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 16>At number eight. I have Happy Gilmore two coming out

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:50.280
<v Speaker 16>on Netflix.

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 7>Later this year.

0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 16>How surprising that they're not going to put out this

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 16>movie in theaters? Is that another indicator? Because I think

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 16>if you had a really good movie on your hands, oh,

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:00.359
<v Speaker 16>do you want to get that thing in theater? But

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:02.719
<v Speaker 16>Netflix pays them so much money and that's gonna be

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 16>number one on Netflix for like two to three weeks,

0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 16>so they're really paying for that. But at number one

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:10.839
<v Speaker 16>coming out on November twenty.

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:12.439
<v Speaker 7>First, it is Wicked for good.

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 16>We have Alfa Banow in full control of her power.

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.720
<v Speaker 16>She has declared an enemy of the state and turns

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:22.879
<v Speaker 16>into well a full out witch hunt. The thing I

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 16>love knowing going into this movie is the fact that

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 16>they already told us what happens to her character. At

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 16>the beginning of Wicked. It starts with her dying, and

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:34.680
<v Speaker 16>if you've seen the original Wizard of Oz, you already

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:37.879
<v Speaker 16>knew what was going to happen to her character, regardless

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 16>to me, in my head, I just can't see it

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.720
<v Speaker 16>getting there because I love the character of El Fabas

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 16>so much. Cynthia Riewo does an amazing job in the

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:53.000
<v Speaker 16>first one vocally and through acting, say with Ariana Grande,

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 16>but in my head, I couldnt see her character getting

0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.879
<v Speaker 16>to that point. And I'm thinking to myself, like, maybe

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 16>they change something, maybe they rewrite history, maybe there's some

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 16>kind of magic that happens in between that that doesn't

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:09.759
<v Speaker 16>happen to her character, because I'm so invested and I

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 16>love it so much that I don't want to see

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 16>that happen to her. But I also think that there's

0:37:15.239 --> 0:37:18.400
<v Speaker 16>gonna be some kind of a shift in Wicked for good.

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 16>And this is me have never seen Wicked. I've never

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:27.200
<v Speaker 16>seen it. I've never experienced that. I for that reason,

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.960
<v Speaker 16>have not looked up any spoilers on what happens in

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:32.360
<v Speaker 16>the musical because I don't want to know. So this

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:34.720
<v Speaker 16>is me pure speculation. What I like to do about

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:37.960
<v Speaker 16>movies is figure out what they're gonna do. So you

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 16>might already know. This is just my theory, but I

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.960
<v Speaker 16>think there's gonna be some real shift in her character

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:47.680
<v Speaker 16>where you see that rapid decline and maybe we see

0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.480
<v Speaker 16>ourselves not rooting for her as much as we have been,

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:53.719
<v Speaker 16>and we do see this wickedness come out in her,

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 16>where she really starts to change. People around her go

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:02.400
<v Speaker 16>from defending her to being in fear of her. And

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 16>then we ultimately do see your demise and it makes

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 16>a little bit more sense, or we see the opposite

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 16>of her still being kind of a good person and

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 16>she sacrifices herself. Because this movie was also split into

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 16>two parts, it was originally going to be one movie,

0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 16>and they had so much story to tell, so much content,

0:38:21.560 --> 0:38:24.400
<v Speaker 16>that they split it into two. I am glad that

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:27.160
<v Speaker 16>they are releasing it one year after the first one,

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 16>so we don't have to wait a whole lot. I

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 16>think it's also smart for them because if you missed

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:33.000
<v Speaker 16>Wicked one in theaters, even though it's about to be

0:38:33.080 --> 0:38:36.439
<v Speaker 16>on Peacock on March twenty first, they could have those

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 16>double features sold out as well, where you show Wicked

0:38:39.600 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 16>one and then it rolls into Wicked two. Yeah, you're

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:44.520
<v Speaker 16>gonna be at the theater for like five hours, but

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:46.640
<v Speaker 16>I could see some people doing that. Then you're adding

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 16>some single along screenings as well, and that is great

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 16>for movie theaters and taking this thing full circle. It

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 16>is movies like that that create that experience that get

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 16>people into the theater and that allow theaters to keep

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 16>their doors open. And I will always be for that.

0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 16>So I'm not anti sequel. I'm just anti wasting money

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 16>on things and wasting our time on things that feels

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:15.160
<v Speaker 16>like they weren't really made with the same quality as

0:39:15.200 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 16>the original movies.

0:39:26.160 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 9>Carl Line, she's a queen talking and it was she's

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:34.000
<v Speaker 9>getting really.

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Not afraid to face its episode, so just let it flow.

0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 16>No one can do we quiet Carl Line, It's time

0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:44.279
<v Speaker 16>for carelu.

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 17>And I will say that there are a lot of

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 17>touring things that I mean. I was out on the

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:54.240
<v Speaker 17>road when we were filming Nashville. I was out every

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 17>weekend that well, every weekend, so we would film all

0:39:58.920 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 17>the way through during the week to the point where

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 17>like after the weekend, I would tour with Charles Eston

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:07.680
<v Speaker 17>and Brandon started coming out with us as well, which

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:11.040
<v Speaker 17>was wonderful, and six Wire, who are a fantastic band,

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:17.160
<v Speaker 17>but we would be pulling onto the lot of where

0:40:17.160 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 17>we were filming in a real tour bus, getting off there,

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 17>going into hair and makeup, and then getting onto the

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 17>stunt tour bus like the you know, the.

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 18>They were living a reality.

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 17>Actually, Yeah, and I was absolutely exhausted, Like, you know,

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.000
<v Speaker 17>your body is not the same after you've had cancer.

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 17>You know, people, especially at such a young developmental age,

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:40.640
<v Speaker 17>there are lots of gifts that it gives you that

0:40:40.719 --> 0:40:46.200
<v Speaker 17>continue to give and being also very so just social

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 17>interactions sometimes are a little bit difficult for me. They're

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 17>much easier now, but there's so much that I wouldn't

0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 17>have been able to do without Brandon. There the world

0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 17>got so much more. I was able to see so

0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:04.320
<v Speaker 17>much more kindness in the world, and just the world

0:41:04.360 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 17>got softer.

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 18>You were protected, you could just drop your guard.

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:11.640
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, when I met Brandon, and there's there's there's always

0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:14.440
<v Speaker 17>like the things that happen in life that they happened,

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:17.400
<v Speaker 17>but just being able to interact with people and for

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 17>me to be able to turn to him and say,

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:23.320
<v Speaker 17>I'm not sure if someone people tend to say things

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 17>that they they say one thing and they meet another

0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:27.759
<v Speaker 17>and I don't understand that, and to say to him

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 17>like I don't understand what that meant. What did they

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 17>and he can tell me it's it's weird. It's like,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.920
<v Speaker 17>you know, you just feel like an alien kind of thing.

0:41:35.920 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 17>But everything about the world got better, including my own

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:44.600
<v Speaker 17>health and safety when Brandon showed up.

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:51.760
<v Speaker 18>Guys, how so having autism as a kid an adult,

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:54.400
<v Speaker 18>I guess, but realizing it, when did you realize it?

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:57.480
<v Speaker 18>And then how did you get into acting if being

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:00.439
<v Speaker 18>around a bunch of people in this kind of situations,

0:42:00.680 --> 0:42:03.000
<v Speaker 18>like how did you navigate that and like go into

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 18>that field when you were kind of like when people

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:09.120
<v Speaker 18>were kind of nerve wracking to the new room guessing?

0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:11.560
<v Speaker 18>How did you find it? And what did your autism?

0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 18>What does it present as for you? Like how do

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 18>you work with it?

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:18.839
<v Speaker 17>For me, it's just it's like I don't even say

0:42:18.880 --> 0:42:21.080
<v Speaker 17>that I have I'm not correcting you in any way,

0:42:21.120 --> 0:42:23.080
<v Speaker 17>shape or form, because there are so many different ways

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:27.239
<v Speaker 17>people talk about this. I am autistic, it's part of me.

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:31.080
<v Speaker 17>I had cancer. Some people have cancer. I don't. I

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:33.960
<v Speaker 17>don't consider myself to have autism. There's just a difference

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 17>between like the my autism is like I am autistic,

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:41.040
<v Speaker 17>I have blonde, I'm like I'm a blonde. Yeah, yeah,

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:43.040
<v Speaker 17>I'm an autistic blonde, Like you know what I mean. Yes,

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 17>it manifests as like I was saying earlier, like it's

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:53.120
<v Speaker 17>very difficult for me to sit in a chair for

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:55.560
<v Speaker 17>a very long time and stay still actually have ADHD

0:42:55.600 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 17>as well, which steered me to be able to hand

0:43:01.880 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 17>like high energy, high sort of like pressure situations because

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:10.799
<v Speaker 17>I had a mission and the people who diagnosed me

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 17>said I probably wouldn't have had the capacity because of

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.799
<v Speaker 17>the level of the level of autistic that I am.

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:21.239
<v Speaker 17>I'm between a one and a two. It's like one, two, three,

0:43:21.600 --> 0:43:24.720
<v Speaker 17>three you need help with absolutely every element of your life.

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 17>Two you need some help, some assistance from somebody. One

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.239
<v Speaker 17>you might get away with it on your own, but

0:43:30.280 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 17>you definitely still have some sort of challenges. But you

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:37.719
<v Speaker 17>could go undetected, which is what happened with me. So

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 17>I sit between a one and a two. And I've

0:43:39.719 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 17>always needed a little bit of help, and some people

0:43:42.160 --> 0:43:44.640
<v Speaker 17>have been more understanding of that and some people haven't.

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:47.960
<v Speaker 17>And a lot of that is just knowing, like knowledge

0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 17>is power. So once I was diagnosed, which was three

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 17>or four years ago now, and it was a really

0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:57.120
<v Speaker 17>long process, and it was something that I was able

0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:01.080
<v Speaker 17>to do during the pandemic because it was all it's

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 17>not a fun process at all.

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Two years.

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 12>What is the process?

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:10.440
<v Speaker 17>I mean, it's a very in depth, in depth psychiatric

0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 17>medical like your entire medical history, your psychiatric history, the

0:44:16.480 --> 0:44:19.640
<v Speaker 17>psychology that you're living with, that you have lived with,

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 17>traits that you have as a child that have stayed.

0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:28.520
<v Speaker 17>Some may have stayed, some may have gone away. I

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 17>like I could sing before I could talk properly. I

0:44:34.680 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 17>was more I've always been more comfortable around animals than people.

0:44:39.920 --> 0:44:42.919
<v Speaker 17>There are certain like fluorescent lights are they always really

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 17>bothered me and I just I really thought I put

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 17>it all down to my my chemo and that like

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:50.120
<v Speaker 17>I was never going to be I was never going

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:53.080
<v Speaker 17>to have normal, regular health. There is no such thing

0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 17>as normal. But I had no idea what neurodivergence was.

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:03.719
<v Speaker 17>I I started suspecting that maybe I was on the

0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:11.400
<v Speaker 17>spectrum probably ten years ago, but never had the time

0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:14.720
<v Speaker 17>and didn't. There was just so much going on. I didn't.

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:16.239
<v Speaker 17>I mean I used to.

0:45:16.840 --> 0:45:18.720
<v Speaker 12>I had hyperlexia as.

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.680
<v Speaker 17>A child, which is like like I think I read

0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:22.920
<v Speaker 17>Silence of the Lambs when I was about seven probably

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 17>should have done that, but I really enjoyed it. It

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 17>was amazing. But for a seven year old to be

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:29.880
<v Speaker 17>able to process that and not be freaked out by

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 17>it and understand what the story was about. Right, it's

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 17>the opposite of dyslexia. But okay, I have dyscalculia, so

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:39.239
<v Speaker 17>I can't read analog clocks. It's very difficult to tell

0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 17>left from right for me. So any director or director

0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:46.920
<v Speaker 17>of photography who works with me is just like you know,

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:51.320
<v Speaker 17>and no one's ever given me any like heat about it,

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:54.720
<v Speaker 17>and I really can't count very well. Like honestly, people

0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:57.160
<v Speaker 17>are like, oh cute, No, it's not cute. It's actually

0:45:57.320 --> 0:46:02.120
<v Speaker 17>like it. At school, I needed help and I didn't

0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 17>have it because no one knew, and.

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:06.360
<v Speaker 18>So you just kind of had to survive, yeap, And

0:46:06.840 --> 0:46:08.360
<v Speaker 18>is that what made you want to start pursuing a

0:46:08.400 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 18>diagnosis for it?

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:15.640
<v Speaker 17>It was actually my dear friend Vivian, who has two

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 17>gorgeous little autistic boys. They were the catalyst for the

0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 17>song Aurora, along with Sean McConnell's daughter Aby, and she

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:29.440
<v Speaker 17>has a different set of challenges. But this song Aurora

0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:32.600
<v Speaker 17>is all about being yourself and and like I know,

0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:34.760
<v Speaker 17>I know you're different. I know that you don't feel

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 17>like you're being seen for who you are. I know

0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 17>that I know that you don't understand what's going on.

0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:41.080
<v Speaker 17>I know you don't get the world around you. It's okay,

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:45.879
<v Speaker 17>like you're beautiful. It's there's nothing wrong with you. That's

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 17>what Aurora is all about. And Viv, who has been

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:51.440
<v Speaker 17>a friend of mine since we were eleven, she's known

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:53.080
<v Speaker 17>me for a long time. Takes a really good friend

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 17>to call you and say I've been you know, she said,

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 17>I've been doing all of this research for the boys

0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:02.080
<v Speaker 17>to help protect them. She's such a wonderful parent, just

0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:08.160
<v Speaker 17>navigating their journey through life as to autistic children who

0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 17>have different sets of needs that have to be meant

0:47:11.560 --> 0:47:14.319
<v Speaker 17>for them to thrive. And she said, you know, I've

0:47:14.320 --> 0:47:16.600
<v Speaker 17>discovered a few things about myself along the way, and

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:21.759
<v Speaker 17>it honestly made me think of our childhood and it

0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:24.200
<v Speaker 17>made me think of you, and I think I think

0:47:24.239 --> 0:47:27.799
<v Speaker 17>you might be autistic. And it's sort of like a

0:47:27.840 --> 0:47:36.120
<v Speaker 17>shoe dropped. I was like, oh, that would explain okay.

0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:44.920
