Actually, 12 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find I've made lots of notes 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: for you. Is that my sitting know They're made notes 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: from therapy. Had therapy this week, hadn't had it for 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: a few weeks, just with all the travel and moving around, 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: and for you, boy, you notice it. You know. Sorry, 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm back on mic now because I've found all my 18 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: notes from the week that was. You really notice it? 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: When I don't know about you. I know some people 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: might be really regular with a therapist, like I am 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: I go once every two weeks, but Jingy, I noticed 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: it if I skip one of those two weeks sessions, 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: so then essentially going a month later. And I just noticed, like, 24 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: so I'm eight years deep into therapy now, and I 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: noticed that I wasn't reacting. And I actually said to 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: my therapist in session, I shared it like a stressful 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: thing that happened that I was really triggered in. And 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't react, but I didn't have 29 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: the courage to call out the behavior. And so I 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: was like, which tells me there's still will work to 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: be done? And he said absolutely, But he's like, you 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: a few years ago would have fully leant into your 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: coping mechodism, which for me used to be binge eating. 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: And he's like, you haven't even bought it up. And 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. I even went out 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: for dinner that night and two people got dessert and 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: I didn't even think too. I think I had one 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: teaspooner match just to try it, and I didn't even 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: and I go and it was gooden free. I could 40 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: have if I wanted, And he said, so that tells 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: me how much you've healed that part of yourself, he said, but' 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: and I said, it took me about two days to 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: get over the like to just process it in my 44 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: own way what had happened. And he said, I want 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: to shorten that window for you so you can realize 46 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: in the moment, like what's going on, and what's going 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: on potentially the other present very fascinating. So anyway, had 48 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: therapy yesterday, have locked it in again, so I don't 49 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: miss with all the travel that's coming up, I don't 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: miss a session. And it's just like my absolute trick 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: to what he says. He says to me, like having 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: that like he's like, I just want you to smile 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: and feel bulletproof, like having that kind of confidence where 54 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: you're just yourself and self assured. And I don't even 55 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: know if it's confidence, it's just like a self awareness 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: and a comfortability in that self awareness. So anyway, that's 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: what I feel like I'm working with therapy. At the moment, 58 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to talk to you 59 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: about therapy. I thought it was going to be Sidney Poddary, 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: but the ego, so that was fresh from yesterday. I 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: am back in Byron now as I record this, I've 62 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: just had PT therapy yesterday. I've been doing that lymphatic 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: simulation stuff, intomology, I think it's called. The company is 64 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: called Sante. It's not sponsored or paid. It's just a lovegin. 65 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: So I've kind of come back and we're kind of 66 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: in real health mode Byron health Mode of Farmer's Markets 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: tomorrow morning.

Anyway, 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: Sid's diary, let's talk about Sid's literally got off the plane, 69 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: Boss went straight into his sister lives a circular key 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: or the Rocks, should I say so, like smack bang 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: in the city, but like the most beautiful views of 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Sydney hubbor Bridge and the Opera House.

And I went straight to 75 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: the studios which are in mcquarie Park, which is a 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: little bit out so it was like, oh, I was 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: probably like from I got the train into the city 78 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: with him, because they've got a really good train system 79 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: from the airport, and then from when he got off 80 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: to meet is sis, I just got an uber and 81 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: it probably took half an hour. So it's like a 82 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: little bit out the studios but so great. So I 83 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: had back to back guests like I don't know how 84 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: I do and I just like chug it through.

We recorded video as well. 120 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I'd never recorded in the Sydney studio, which is really 121 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: exciting and it's so fun. When I am in Melbourne, 122 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: I record in studio of course, and you've got noticely 123 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're a producer or like a panelist, 124 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: but you've got someone checking levels, checking video and they 125 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: come in and reset it between each guest, which is 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: really really nice and it just takes a lot of 127 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: the stress away and you get great visual content as well. 128 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: And then after that we went straight back to Matt's 129 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: sister's place.

And then the 134 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: next day I was just kind of like one of 135 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: those days where I had lots of meetings in the 136 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Eastern Suburbs, which is where I used to live. So 137 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: fun fact, I lived in Sydney for like how long 138 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's about five years, but like for some reason, 139 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: all my meetings end up being in Paddington and Wallara 140 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: and Darlinghurst and that's like a triangle. They're all they're 141 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: like the Eastern Suburbs, they're all really close to each other. 142 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: So I literally had my first meeting at nine point thirty. 143 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: My second one at midday and my third one at three, 144 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: and because there was time in between each one, I 145 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: was able to walk all around my old neighborhood as 146 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 1: I was slowly getting to each place. Now the meeting, 147 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: I had a meeting with my beautiful pod manager, Claire. Claire, 148 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: I hope you hear this.

I only think 181 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: I can't say too much about it. I think it's 182 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: embargoed for a couple more weeks, but I've got involved, 183 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: as I guess, I've just shared a story on it, 184 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: and so we then because I did that interview when 185 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: I was living in La last year, she was like, 186 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: I just want to get some video to go, so 187 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: we filmed some stuff. We also has had a really 188 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: nice like catch up, and she loaded me and Mat 189 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: up because I was I was going back to the 190 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: hotel Matt with all these amazing brands and products that 191 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: she works with, like skincare, teeth whitening. Matt was wrapped. 192 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: It was like Christmas Day. So yeah, so many fun 193 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: little things that we got to trial and test and 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: all that over the last week or so, which has 195 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: been great. And also because of heading back to Ala, 196 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: you're kind of not trying to buy too much new stuff. 197 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: You just kind of use up old skink. It not old, 198 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. And so it was 199 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: the timing wasn't better because we'd just run out of 200 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: his skin care and I was like, damn it, I'm 201 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to buy a big new thing. No Ma's 202 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: had assorted. So that was a lot of fun. What 203 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: else because I've got notes here and I had the 204 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: menu up okay. And then that evening it was Matt's 205 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: brother in law's birthday and he'd had a big birthday lunch, 206 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: and then came back with two of his besties and 207 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: we all went up to the roof and had a 208 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: couple of whiskeys. You know, we love a whiskey. So 209 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: and Frank is like a guru when it comes to 210 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: all things alcohol. He owns liquor stores all over Sydney, 211 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure anyway, So he was teaching Matt and I, 212 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: so I tried is it habiki? That beautiful Japanese It 213 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: looks like it's a perfume bottle. And that was a 214 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: really beautiful, like gentle, delicious Japanese whiskey. I had a 215 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: second whiskey. I actually think I took photos for you. 216 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure I took photos for you. I only didn't. 217 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: I only wanted two whiskeys because I knew I had 218 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: had had a big day. But also, you know when 219 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: you're just like I don't want to keep I don't 220 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: want to feel not fresh tomorrow. Surely I took photos. 221 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: How did I did? Good girl, Lola? And then I 222 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: tried another Japanese whiskey. I think that was called tok, 223 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: not tok like tosh shure. It started with tea anyway, 224 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: and then he was like, look, I have a feeling 225 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: you like petered whiskey, which essentially is like a smoke whiskey, 226 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the way that like a mez kale feels like a 227 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: smoke tequila in my books. Anyway, So I know I 228 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: like mezcal. I know that when I wear perfume, I 229 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: like to wear really masculine sense, like real earthy stuff, 230 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: almost like leathers and tobaccos. I love those smells. Like, 231 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: I know, smoke is obviously not healthy to breathe in, 232 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: but if I smell someone not Siggy's, I think they 233 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: smell gross. But if I smell someone smoking cigar, I've 234 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: never had one in my life, so I've got no idea, 235 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: but like from a distance, that smell like that real earthy, 236 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: like soily kind of smell I quite like. Anyway, So 237 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: he was like, I think you're gonna like pete it 238 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: because you like all these kind of like earthy, rich, 239 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: heavy kind of flavors. And I was like great, but 240 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: he goes, I want you to try the most petered 241 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: whiskey that he's ever tried and he's like, get ready, 242 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: it might feel like an ashtray in your mouth. And 243 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm gonna 244 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: like it. Oh my goodness, I loved it. So the 245 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: brand is of course, I took a photo of it. 246 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: Without taking a photo, I just took a photo of 247 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: the bottle. Not there. It's Scott. It's from the Isle 248 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: of Islae, which means it's coastal, and it's called I 249 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: think it's called Octavia Octavia. Let me look it up, whiskey, 250 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: petered oct Let's just see what comes out. Oh my god, 251 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: I found it raight away. Octomo Octomore. It's called super 252 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: Spanny like it is just a fun one to try ones. 253 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: And I just had a little taste of that in 254 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: it was hands down my favorite. Like it was like 255 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: rich and like a really smoky, yummy yummy I mean anyway, 256 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: So that was fun because obviously, like whiskey's not cheap, 257 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: and because he's like a connoisseur is that the right word, 258 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: we were able to try all these ones that we 259 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: really can't afford, like that Octavia, and I think sits 260 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: at about three hundred and seventy a bottle. I'm saying 261 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: it wrong. Octomore octomore, and I think the PiZZ in 262 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: it are like two hundred and ninety or something, when 263 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: usually things that are peedeed sit at like four hundred 264 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: I think anyway, not four hundred and forty, and this 265 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: one was two ninety one anyway, So that was really fun. 266 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: Day three, Boss and I got up, went through a 267 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: really nice walk through the city. You went to this 268 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: cafe in the city right near where they live called Banksia, 269 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: and that was really like, I mean, pastries and really 270 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: good coffee. It was Ruben Hills Coffee, which is like 271 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: the best coffee in Sydney in my opinion. And Ruben 272 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: Hills have their own like they've got a flagship store 273 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: in I think Dahalo or Surrey Hills just on Crown 274 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Street or off Crown Street, and then they've also got 275 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: a little pop up in the city. But they are 276 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: a great brand of coffee bean. And so whenever I 277 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: go to a cafe and I see that it's Reuben 278 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: Hills and I'm Insyney, I'm like, oh my goodness.

Get know them, So Reuben 282 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Hills if you're in Sydney, that is a great brand 283 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: of coffee. And even just get some beans, take them home, 284 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: grinder rough and make your own coffee. I also went 285 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: to George Street Apple just to get air tags for traveling, 286 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and then I literally had a full day of laptop 287 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: work and then we wanted to take Frank out for 288 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: his birthday, and so we went to this place called 289 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Sushi E and that was in town as well, and 290 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: that's part of the mary Vale Group.
