Speaker 3: That's okay for see what happened? Is everything okay?

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a real emergency in that I had

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: my phone on silent.

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: Thank god.

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Breathe, damn you phone.

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 4: That happens to me all the time, because I switched

16
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 4: it off. And then all of a sudden, You've missed

17
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 4: all these great opportunity calls and.

18
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: What would they be, Brendan for you.

19
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: Tipping point, We want you to do that show.

20
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Sure, it's a great show.

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: I had twelve miss calls and I was like, what

22
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: is happening? Who is spamming me? And then I checked

23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: the message. I'm like, oh no, oh god, oh. These

24
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: kind people have got a very busy schedule and here

25
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I am sitting with a couple of pieces of cold

26
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: people in Canberra.

27
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Oh, col you're living the dream before we get to

28
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm exhausted. I was so excited to hear that it

29
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: was going to be you. I'd heard rumors that we

30
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: were going to an Australian version of the office. To

31
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: have a female and to have it be you, I

32
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: think is just brilliant. Have you filmed it already? What

33
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: were are we up to with it?

34
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: We filmed it already, may I say, Amanda. There was

35
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: no one more excited that it was me than me.

36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: I was absolutely thrilled for nothing else, just to have

37
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: a job. It's all been filmed, it will come out

38
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: later this year. It was the best job I will

39
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: ever have, question Mark. They're just the most fun and

40
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: every single day I think that if this had happened

41
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: to me when I was twenty, I would have got

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: a bit cocky about it. But because I'm an old

43
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: lady and has been rejected many many times, every day

44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: I was turning up like Oliver on set to so

45
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and can I please have some more? Just so grateful

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: for anything that I got, and it was it was

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: a joy.

48
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: Oh that's great to hear a lot of people when

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: I say a lot of people. With My daughter and

50
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: I argue regularly about which office version we like, and

51
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: she doesn't even believe the UK Office even existed. I said,

52
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: you know, this was based on the UK Office. Then

53
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: one time we watched the UK Office because I talked

54
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: it up so much, but I forgot how awkward the

55
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: UK Office is compared to the American Office, which begs

56
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 4: the question, what about the Australian Office?

57
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: Is that going to be more or less awkward than

58
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 3: the other two.

59
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think that there is something that happened in

60
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: the UK Office that I don't know if it can

61
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: happen again, because it hadn't been nothing had been that

62
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: awkward to that extent with that amount of silence before,

63
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: So I think it was seminal. I don't. I mean,

64
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: you can tell from now I have to fill every sequel,

65
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: every single second of dead air, so the awkwardness would

66
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: come from me that I simply cannot shut up.

67
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: And is this like with your live show? Because people,

68
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: if ever, I have to even host a charity event,

69
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: you know, if you tell a small joke, everyone says,

70
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: lett it briefe. I can't. I just have to gabble

71
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: off and I can't let anything breathe. You like that

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: in your stand up as well?

73
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Whill has come for breathing? Amanda, I don't very much. So.

74
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that everyone's been diagnosed with it.

75
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: I have undiagnosed ADHD. And I say that I don't

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: like to say that I have something that I haven't

77
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: been diagnosed with. But I went to the doctor. Well. First,

78
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: when I was nineteen, I worked at a cafe with

79
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: a retired nurse who was the boss, and two weeks

80
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: in she said, can you please take my son's writtlin

81
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: You have ADHD. And that was in nineteen ninety nine,

82
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: and I thought I better get on top of this.

83
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: So twenty three years later I went to the doctors

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to get a referral to get tested for ADHD. And

85
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: then I lost that referral, and then I went back

86
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: to doctors to get another referral, and then I also

87
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: lost that referral. And I think that's the test.

88
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: That is the test you found. Just assume you do.

89
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Everyone seems to have ADHD lately. The doctor said to

90
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: me some years ago, he said you've probably got ADHD.

91
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: And I was like, Branda, and he said, he said,

92
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: you can take drugs for it, and I went, yeah,

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: should I said, well, it might change who you actually are.

94
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were like, no, thank you. I like

95
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: being miss Messy.

96
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: And I don't know, like I do have trouble with

97
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: attention spans, and I'm not good at sitting still. But

98
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: having said that, I don't know. I don't want to

99
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: sit around all the time. You know, the life's too short,

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 4: so I don't.

101
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: Know what to do.

102
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one or the other. I love

103
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: that you're trusting me.

104
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: With talk to Felicity.

105
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: I missed a phone call twelve times. Do you know

106
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: what it is? People have said that, and this blew

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: my mind. They said the difference is, rather than looking

108
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: at a to do list all day, going I really

109
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: should do that. Sometimes when they take their medication, they

110
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: just sit down and do the thing. Can you imagine?

111
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Can you imagine having a task and doing it.

112
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: To people like you? Is that my and I just

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: realized I've got a light bulb in night in my garage.

Speaker 3: Bulb in my.

116
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 4: weeks ago, and I haven't put a replacement bulb in

117
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 4: the other one.

118
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,240
