1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: It's a special Will and Woody podcast. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 2: Mini. 3 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Let's just talk about the fact we have Matthew McConaughey 4 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: on the show yesterday. And look, as I just said 5 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: before the song, I think it got really interesting for 6 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: me when we were asking him about how this maconnaissance 7 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: came about how his revolution in his career happened when 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: he just started making the biggest movies in. 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 3: TV and Hollywood from being pretty much just a piece 10 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 3: of eye candy. Successful eye candy. Oh yeah, I. 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Mean, there's nothing wrong with it, was making lots of money, 12 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: but the point was he started turning down tens of 13 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to continue to be eye candy. 14 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 3: Took it and took a bet on himself. 15 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, to do like more serious movies, do dramas. 16 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: Yes, And he basically said it happened when he had 17 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: he started having children. 18 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: He had this clarity. 19 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: And I brought up the fact at this point that 20 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: my partner SEM's pregnant and we're having a baby next year, 21 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: and this lit him up. 22 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: You got a chart coming out, I do. Yeah, Yeah, 23 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: she's pregnant. 24 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 25 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, first one, first one, yeah, first one. 26 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 4: Okay, the first six months after younew do. 27 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: Don't just double down on your instincts. 28 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: Triple down on your instincts. 29 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 4: Wow, from investments to relationships, to where you want to 30 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 4: live and go and what you want to do in life, 31 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 4: You'll never be more clear. Pretty wild, I would say 32 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: that's the opposite to what a lot of people view 33 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: having a child as. 34 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 3: One hundred percent They think that having a. 35 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 4: Child will mean they have to compromise in their career 36 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 4: or compromise in any other thing they want to do, 37 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 4: because the child takes so much time. 38 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 3: That's right, And I know, like particularly growing up, I know. 39 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: That both my parents sacrificed enormously so that we could 40 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: go to really good schools and have a great education. 41 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: And I know, being totally candid, this is a conversation 42 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: I've had with my partner all the time because it 43 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: just keeps bubbling up for me, is I'm incredibly anxious 44 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: about having a child because of the fact that it 45 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: will limit my freedom in terms of what I do 46 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: in my career. Because all I'm thinking about a lot 47 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: of the time is I need to keep making money 48 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: so that my. 49 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: Kids can be safe and enjoy a good life. 50 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: And as a result, any lateral thinking or Any sense 51 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: of exploration that I have in terms of what I 52 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: want to do just goes out the window because it's 53 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: just like, well, you can't think about that. You just 54 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: need to nail the best job you possibly can to 55 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: make as much money as you can. 56 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: And that scares me. 57 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 58 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Sure. 59 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: And so when Matthew McConaughey yesterday was just like, mate, 60 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: that's the time when you you don't have to double 61 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: down your in stin you tripled down on your instinc 62 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: he was like to and he turned down. I mean, 63 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: it's easy for him to say he probably banked a 64 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: few checks before he made this decision. 65 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: He was comfortable it was in a goods doubling down 66 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: and tripling down exactly right. 67 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: He was in a good spot. But nevertheless he still 68 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: turned away. No matter what your circumstances are. He turned 69 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: away the surefire career so that he could seek out 70 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: what he wanted to do. And he said that having 71 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: a child gave him the clarity, gave him the clarity 72 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: of what he wanted to do. Now, this is totally 73 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: at odds with a traditional view that I have of 74 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: what it's like or what you have to give up 75 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: in order to be a parent, and I really I 76 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: just really want to throw this out to everyone listening 77 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: right now. So thirty one O six five is the 78 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: phone number is. And I know this is obviously different 79 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: for men as it is as it is for women. 80 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: I know that, So I'm not going to. 81 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Try and pretend like whoever's raising the child has obviously 82 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: got a lot more, particularly your breastfeeding for example. You 83 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: obviously have to take a pause on your career, but 84 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: if we can just you know, obviously have that part 85 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: of the conversation in mind. 86 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: Here, but that clarity might still be there though absolutely, 87 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. 88 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: That's what I want to find out. 89 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty one O six five is the birth of 90 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: your kid the death of your career. 91 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: That's what I want to know. 92 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: And I this is totally in line with a conversation 93 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: I had with Josh Van kylen Berg, who's Hugh Van 94 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: kylen Berg's brother, after I was on the Imperfect podcast, 95 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: and he said to me exactly the same as Matthew 96 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: McConaughey did as soon as his son was born, he's 97 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: never felt more motivated, driven to do what he wanted 98 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: to do because he was inspired about the idea of 99 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: making his child child proud of him. 100 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he has gone on to create an incredibly 101 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: successful podcast in The im Perpose. 102 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Exactly right, which is totally at odds with what he's 103 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: a videographer. He was making like videos for surgeons and stuff. 104 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 4: And he speaks on that podcast now as well. But 105 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 4: I haven't heard the Imperfect podcast. Definitely go and check 106 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: it out. 107 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: So he's found a whole new voice doing that. Thirty 108 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: one and six five, I'd actually just love some advice 109 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: from you guys right now. It's going to be a 110 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: dad next year. Thirty one and six five. Is the 111 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: birth of your kid the death of your career? 112 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: I actually really love to hear from you guys. 113 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Is I know this sounds like a bit of a 114 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: loaded question, but I'm having a kid next year. Was 115 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: my first baby with my partner. Seem I'm very excited, 116 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: But I have this very well drilled down anxiety in 117 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: me for some reason. Maybe it's the way with the 118 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: world that I grew up in. But is the birth 119 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: of your child the death of your career? That's that's 120 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: that's certainly an anxiety I have. I feel like you knows, 121 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: as the breadwinner in my family, I feel like I'm 122 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: just going to have to put my head down and 123 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: just whatever i've whatever job i've got, just secure it, 124 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: like down, make as much money as I can to 125 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: support my kids. I know it's a very old school 126 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: way of looking at things. I can't get out of 127 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: my head until we spoke to Matthew McConaughey yesterday, who 128 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: said that his mcconnaissance, the revolution, the renaissance of his 129 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: whole career was because he had kids and he was 130 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: inspired to have a whole new life, which is totally 131 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: odds with every other way I viewed parenting. So is 132 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: the mcmonaissance a possibility the first six. 133 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: Months after your newborn? 134 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, don't just double down on your instincts. Triple down 135 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: on your instincts. 136 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 4: There's no time in life that a man's more mashculine, 137 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 4: are more clear about what they want to do. 138 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: Monoissance. 139 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 4: So your last name is McMahon, So mcmonoisance, mcmonossance. 140 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: Let's go with Tara on thirty one and six five.
