17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,000

Speaker 1: diary because I love Christmas, and I think her recipe

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: is going to be unreal. Emmy Lou shares her life

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: and some stuff from back in the past. It was

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: a bit tougher too. She's got no filter at all.

00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,320

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: the first day of the shoot and I was like, oh, Mike,

53

Speaker 1: you style yourself fully, don't you.

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,520

56
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,840

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: was just coming out of you know, Matt leave and

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: Gorman just as a retail assistant, and I think it

60
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: was only two shifts, three shifts.

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have to do a styling course.

62
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: Just I just wanted to feel really confident in helping

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: people in the war in the you know, the.

64
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: Try on rooms and changing rooms, and.

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: So I went into that, which then sparked my love

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: of presenting again.

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't you like, like finish your styling course and

68
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: then be like, I'm going to hire a videographer and

00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to pitch more to fashion and.

Speaker 2: Walk around Chadstone and like pitch this like styling video too.

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: And I had no idea. I'd never presented camera, never

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: hired a videographer. You know, didn't even realize you needed

73
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: permits to film and chatty, you know what I mean.

74
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Just I just grew off half.

75
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: I walked in, walked into one of the stores.

76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Hey, do you mind if we're just film a little

77

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: off the rack and talk about the dresses. And you know,

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: obviously retail staff are really lovely and did anything of

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: it. It was quite Looking back, I think, oh god, you're

81
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: allowed to do that.

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: So you have been such a dream to research because

83
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: your life is so colorful. And if I go all

84
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: the way back and go over all your past and everything,

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: we could spend four hours here because you've had you

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: moved out of home at fourteen. Yeah, Western Australian girl,

87
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: is that right?

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

89
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Last time you and I caught up in real life,

90
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: which was in talkie in between the two different lockdowns,

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: you were like, yeah, man, I skydived for.

92
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: And you did your full salt so you could solo jump. Yeah.

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I did my aff I think that's what's

94
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: been so long since I've done accelerated free full course.

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: So yeah. So you go and you do like three

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: days of like in the classroom, you do that.

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: Then you go out and you actually, you know, work

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: for a day just in a harness on the ground,

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: and then you go up and you do your jump.

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: You're not solo for those first few You've got two

101
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: instructors holding on to you, but you do have your

102
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: own shoots, so you're pull on your own shoe.

103
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: You're landing yourself.

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: It is the fucking scariest thing, yeah, ever, because you

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: are obviously you've got your instructors there to pull the

106
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: shoot for you, but you do have to land on

107
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: your own, and obviously you get to take you Once

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: that parachute opens, there is this deafening silence in the

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: air and you realize, yes, it's totally solely up to you,

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: but there's also the elements you know, turbulence and things

111
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: like that that can collapse your shoot and things like that,

112
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: and it really it was such a I even get goosebumps.

113
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: Now it's been so long since I've jumped. But yeah,

114
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: then I went on to jump for ages after that

115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: and in the moody. I've jumped so many times in

116
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: the mood it's ridiculous.

117
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I love a bit.

118
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's fine.

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: Some people do ten ways, which is where you jump

120
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: with ten other people and stuff. But for milestone, So

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: for my hundredth birthday, it was in a pink G

122
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: string with a crop top.

123
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: But I had one hundred written on my chest and

124
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: that's your hundredths jump.

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: That was my hundred and I flashed, like you know,

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: as I was about to jump out, flash my hundred

127
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: one hundred. But you remember, like twenty three years old,

128
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: like I just, I was very free girl, loving it.

129
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: And but you know what's so funny about that is

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: I was in the pink G string and there were

131
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: those g strings you buy from like.

132
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Is this amazing going for gold amazing?

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: They were g strings that you buy from like a

134
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: sex shop, so they clip on the sides for easy, yeah,

135
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: undoing access anyway. So because I was jumping and that

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: you know, so much velocity, I sticky taped my sides

137
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: and my beautiful pink g string just so they wouldn't

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: fly off in the air. But then, I mean, one

139
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: hundred jumps, you're still very much a novice, and I've

140
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: obviously I was super excited one hundred jump, exhilarated from

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: doing it pretty much nude, all that kind of stuff.

142
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: I actually landed down wind, so that means that I'm

143
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: landing with the wind, which is not what you meant

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: to do to land the opposite way.

145
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 3: Landing was never one of my strong points, and so

146
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: I landed down when on.

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: Gravel and just completely carved my whole butt because I

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: landed on my butt gravel.

149
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 3: But then we have we had a pool.

150
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: The drop zone that I was at was York in

151
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: w a York skydiving I mean, what's the skydiving drops

152
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: one in York, And so I'd come in with my parachute,

153
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: I popped it down, I took my alternator off, and

154
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: then I got grabbed by all the skydivers and they

155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: threw me into the pool and pied me in the face.

156
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: So then it was just a matter of like gravel

157
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: rash in the cold pool, shaving cream high in my fading,

158
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: and I was like, this is really.

159
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: I was so good, but not as glamorous as when

160
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: you say skydiving. Now do you know what I mean?

161
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: Totally totally thank you for like making that a very

162
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: graphic but amazing. Do you know one question I have

163
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: about skydiving. I've skydived once, and I feel like when

164
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: you land and I did it with a mate, and

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: when we both landed, to get this like jack up,

166
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: not to get on nutritiony of dopamine and serotonin in

167
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: your brain and kind I had a crush on this

168
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: best friend for ages, even though I knew I didn't

169
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: like him, but it was because we went through this

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: life changing thing together. And for the next two weeks,

171
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: while we had those real high dovein levels, we were like,

172
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: can we just hang out? And we just wanted to

173
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: hang out and be near each other just because we've

174
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: been because you feel like you can conquer anything. And

175
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: I tell people, people go, oh, you know, what's the

176
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: scaryes scene or the best seam? And I'm like, skydiving

177
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: and I swam with whale sharks. There are two things.

178
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: Because it makes you realize and it puts things into perspective.

179
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: We're pretty little, yeah, in the scheme of life exactly.

180
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: And that's actually it's funny because that camaraderie you felt

181
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: with your friend, that's what it's like in the drop

182
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: zone as well. So you know, you're skydiving with your

183
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: mates at first, maybe they're not your mates as well,

184
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: and you're skydiving with them and you're hanging out with

185
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: them all day.

186
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 3: You're going up and down in planes, and so you do.

187
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: You have that beautiful community, and it's something that you

188
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: when you first give up skydiving, it's something that you

189
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 2: miss a lot or you know, like for me, the

190
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: tragedy happened where a friend of mine died while we

191
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: were skydiving, and I continued to skydive, but it rocked

192
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: our whole community and.

193
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 3: You could you could see it, you could feel it.

194
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: It was broken because we were just you know, it's

195
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: something that we love to do, and you know, and

196
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 2: I slowly pulled away not from the people, but just

197
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 2: from the sport because I eventually just felt scared. I

198
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 2: didn't know, and I had to come to terms with like,

199
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: I this scares me now, I don't want to do

200
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: it anymore.

201
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 3: And I had to be okay with that.

202
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: But there was a lot of years there where I

203
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: felt a huge sense of loneliness because it was all

204
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: of a sudden gone the sport and the community.

205
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've heard you speak about that tragedy before,

206
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: and I was the first time I heard you speak

207
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: about it. I was listening and I was like, it's

208
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: that story that when you think of skydiving, your brain

209
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: automatically goes there as like a protection mechanism. Anyway, and

210
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: to hear you, can you share a little bit about

211
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: that day?

212
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, sure.

213
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: So our friend Claire, she was celebrating her two hundred jump, So,

214
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: like I said, with my hundred, I was an aked

215
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: for my two hundred. I actually jumped over Melbourne. It's

216
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: called a display jump, so I got to jump over.

217
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: There's a photo on my fridge as sure you later

218
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: jump over the city and I've never actually i'd been

219
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: in the city for being in Melbourne for about seven days,

220
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: so I knew no landmarks at all, and I remember

221
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: just jumping and now I realized that's the West Gate,

222
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: that peak hour traffic and I had to land.

223
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: Where the zoo is.

224
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: I come, yeah, zoo, Royal Park, Royal Park around there,

225
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: and I'm just looking for that smoke flare, Like I'm like,

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: where the fuck is smoke? And so that was my

227
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: two hundred and so Claire's was to jump in a

228
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: ten ways, so we were all jumping with her. And yeah,

229
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: it just you know, with skydiving, there's always a few

230
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: things that tend to go wrong. It's not just one thing.

231
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 2: So I wasn't just Claire didn't open her shoot or whatever.

232
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: You know, there was a malfunction with a shoe. We

233
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: had drifted apart, like the whole crew had drifted apart

234
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 2: and broken the sky at the formation. Is that just

235
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: cause like the times you're falling, Yeah, so I was

236
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: falling too far, So I actually was the first to

237
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: break the formation. So I wasn't around where all of

238
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: the other kind of nine skydivers were. And then you know,

239
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: she was giving a kiss to her her ex boyfriend

240
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: Duke's at the time, and you know, so you know

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: she probably wasn't a stable maybe when she was dummy.

242
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: There's quite a few things, and you know, obviously they

243
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: do the inquest to find out all of those contributing factors.

244
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: And yeah, and so then her reserve tangled with her

245
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: mane and and yeah, and so she landed a few

246
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: paddocks away as well, and it was just it was

247
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: so terrifying because you know, there's you know, there's half

248
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: of us here saying someone's gone in there's three people missing,

249
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: we don't know who it is.

250
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: Then we hear sirens, you know, and then it was

251
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: just unfolding, and it was so.

252
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: I yeah, it just affected me so much, Like everyone

253
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: didn't just affect me, it affected everybody, you know, and

254
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: her family as well, Like her family were in London

255
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: and they came over and it was just it was

256
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: probably the first time in my young life at the time,

257
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: I think I was only twenty four or something, that

258
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: I had experienced tragedy as such. You know, I'd experienced

259
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: a lot of adversity, and I'd experienced a lot of

260
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: trauma through other experiences in my own personal life.

261
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: But that was huge.

262
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think in your twenties there's this sense

263
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: of being immortal and you're like, I've got all this time,

264
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. So having to face

265
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: something like that someone that you know personally and you're

266
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: there at the time, you quickly have to face death

267
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: very very in your face. And so was it after

268
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: that that you kind of had your own kind depression.

269
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: And yeah, well I think something like that really does

270
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: bring up to the surface that maybe you don't have

271
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: the tools to deal with maybe things that have happened

272
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: as a kid or whatever as well. And like, you know,

273
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: I was part a lot too, you know, so if

274
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: you're partying a lot, you're not taking care of yourself,

275
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: and something like that happens. It's funny because I was

276
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 2: always really physically active and all those other things. But

277
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, if you're gone out all the time partying,

278
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: you just you don't have that mental capacity as well.

279
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: And so from there, yeah, it's kind of snowboard because

280
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: you you sort of it was the tragedy, and then

281
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: you partied even more to try and like help cope

282
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: with it. And then that's when I tried to take

283
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: my own life. I probably I don't even know the

284
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: timings of it. It was only probably about six months

285
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: on from that I try to take my own life.

286
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 3: And you know, it was lucky enough to be found

287
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: in that time.

288
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, and then again that is its own own trauma.

289
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: It's like these little kind of landmarks of trauma or events,

290
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: you know. And then from there it was this slow

291
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: rebuild back up to try and work out how to

292
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: not get to that space again. And there's been moments

293
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: where I have gotten to back to that point, never

294
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: to the point where I've gone through with it, but

295
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: certainly to the point where, oh gosh, this is so

296
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: prevalent in my head.

297
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 3: You know.

298
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Is that why you're so passionate. I'm passionate about mental

299
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: health too, but I feel like you really care about

300
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: mental health, and I freaking love it.

301
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: I really care about mental health, but I really care

302
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: about get talking to those people that are right there

303
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: in that moment. And it's so hard because you know,

304
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: you don't want to get on your socials gone, Hey,

305
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: if you're feeling suicidal today, I'm here you because you've

306
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: got to remember that. That also brings up a bit

307
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: of a cycle as well. I know when friends have

308
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: taken their own life and as soon as you know,

309
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: that happens. And I feel that's why media don't report

310
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: on a huge amount is because it creates a bit

311
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: of a snowball effect in our community. I remember when

312
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: Robin Williams took his own life that one, honestly, and

313
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm not you know, I'm a Robin Williams fan and

314
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: all that, but you know, I'm not a fanatical, crazy

315
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: fan anything like that. I don't know him personally, but

316
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: holy shit, that not me for a six and that

317
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: kind of started me back on a bit of a

318
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: depressive cycle. And I saw that with Aaron, you know,

319
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: and he doesn't suffer from depression at all, but one

320
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: of our friends did take their own life, someone he

321
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: knew and worked with, and I saw it affect him

322
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: for quite a few months and kind of create a

323
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: bit of a cycle as well. So I don't like

324
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: to be too vocal about it in that way, but

325
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: I also whenever I do talk about it, it's going

326
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: to be that grassroots level. Hey, if you're there, if

327
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: you're having that outer body experience, yes, fucking circuit, break it,

328
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: like you know, break that circuit, Eat something sweet, jump

329
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: in the ocean, you do whatever you can. And I'd

330
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: say in that you can even hear it's that panic

331
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: in my voice because it's that urgency. Hey, I need

332
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: you to stop that now. I need you to come

333
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: out of that now, come back to yourself, you know,

334
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: because that's what it feels like. So that is what

335
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm truly passionate about talking about because I know that

336
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: feeling and I know if someone is in that point

337
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: right now, they'll hear that, they'll really hear it.

338
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: And any I've been going to a therapist for years.

339
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: I love I look forward, It's my non negotiable. But

340
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: they'll often talk about changing the channel, like having something

341
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: that just takes you out of that. My history is

342
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: eating disorders, so and you can get triggered by anything,

343
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: just the way you were describing and I think if

344
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: you've got that thing, and for me it is nature,

345
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: like you're saying, jumping the ocean, it's so powerful. But

346
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing. I know that that's really confronting

347
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: to talk about those kind of things. But I've heard

348
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you very courageously open up before and I was like driving,

349
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: like got goose bumps, tears going down my face. I

350
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: feel like, what the magic of Emmy Lou Because I've

351
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: been soaking you up knowing we're doing this podcast, I

352
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: feel like the magic of you is this sense of

353
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: realness and no filter. Yeah, and what you see is

354
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: what you get. And do you think that that is

355
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: because you've been through these traumas, I mean, like to

356
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: the point it's one point too. How it's one thing

357
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: to have suicidal thoughts, it's another thing to actually you

358
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: had begun the process of going through with it. And

359
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: if that man and his son didn't find you in

360
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: your car, yeah, all over, red Rob. But you'd already

361
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: passed out, right, So you've kind of like felt it

362
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: as viscerally you were gone, see you later kind of thing.

363
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: Do you think that's what gives you your fearlessness because

364
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: you have come from I don't want to call it

365
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: rock bottom, but you know where you felt like there

366
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: was no other options.

367
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't know if that's what it is.

368
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: I think sometimes that that fearlessness. I've always been someone

369
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: like that, do you know what I mean? I've all like,

370
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: you know, things weren't.

371
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 3: Right at home, so I left.

372
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: You know, probably not the best decision as a fourteen

373
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: year old, but I was like, right, I'm going to

374
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: go to school. I can work at the chicken shop

375
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: like part time and still go to school, and I'm

376
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: gonna move out, and I'm gonna pay cheap rent because

377
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know, offer to cook for these guys

378
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 2: so I can afford this. And so I always had

379
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: this sense of fearlessness, you know. I like, I remember

380
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: entering myself into talent shows, like when I was like

381
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: eight nine years old, and I'd come home. I'd be like, hey, Mom, Dad,

382
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: I've entered myself into the talent show at the pub.

383
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 3: You got to take me there.

384
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: You take me to Bustleton, which like thirty minutes away.

385
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: You know, there's like a whole Back then, there'd be

386
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: talent shows at the local pubs and you'd have to

387
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: do the rounds like I've enteredy and you gotta take me.

388
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: So I always had this fearlessness, and I do wonder

389
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: if that fearlessness sort of, unfortunately kind of backfired in

390
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: that state where I was feeling super down and super

391
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: toepress because I'm like, oh no, I'm just we're done,

392
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: Like so we just we just go because when I

393
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: get something in my head, it's like we just mad now, yeah, yeah,

394
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: and we commit. It's like skydiving, It's like I'm gonna

395
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: learn how to skydive.

396
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: I remember not looking for a tandem jump or anything

397
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: like that.

398
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, I need to look in the

399
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: phone book and learn how to do that, because you know,

400
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: so it's always like, oh.

401
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: I've got to do it.

402
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: Wasn't it like not under skydiving?

403
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: And you had to yeah, and like and you know

404
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: back then there was you know, I watched Point break

405
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: and Drop some like a thousand times and and so

406
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: and then I remember like looking through the book, like

407
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: the phone book too, going how the fuck do.

408
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 3: You find skydiving? And I found it under parachuting, we say, point.

409
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: Patrick Swayze, Oh my god. So you and I both

410
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: have a passion for movies. I could do about a

411
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: favorite movie scores because you have a hidden talent, don't you. Yes,

412
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: I do. Can you share that with our listeners?

413
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: Please?

414
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: Yes?

415
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 3: Yes?

416
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: So Aaron and I but see, okay, So Aaron and

417
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 2: I have this thing where he will put on a

418
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: movie and I have to put a cushion over my head,

419
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: and can I just say that he doesn't he doesn't

420
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: ask me to do this.

421
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: I demand it. So I'm like, don't, don't, don't deprest that,

422
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: and I put the push the cushion over my head.

423
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, prisplay And then I listened to it

424
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: and I get it And sometimes I can get it

425
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: within like seconds. I'm and I scream every time and

426
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: if he goes, that was so good, babe. But I

427
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: find that it is a hidden talent. But I think

428
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: it may be only in our household because we obviously

429
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: know the movies that we watch all the time as well.

430
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 2: So I wonder if I've always wondered if someone else

431
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: was to pick the movie, would I get it.

432
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: Like you would?

433
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: You've got a diverse taste in movie. I always watch

434
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: what movies. I'm like, watch you watching. I'm like, boss,

435
00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. Okay, this is what we've gotta.

436
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: I watched some pretty hard call me.

437
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: I love them.

438
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 3: I love Michael Man. He's my favorite.

439
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: This I could talk. We could talk all about movies

440
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: and acting and whatnot. Okay, there is so much stuff

441
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. You're the first guest I've

442
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: had on I've got my notes here and I'm like, no, Lola,

443
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: I just want to be in the moment with you.

444
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 3: Whatever you want.

445
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: Okay. So when you and I met was the dot

446
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: com social days, right yep? So I also went into

447
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Channel thirty one and we did ear an interview there

448
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: as well.

449
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: Yes, no, Adam, we went to the Colonial Brewery that

450
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: he did the final four times, right, Yes, and so

451
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 2: is that is.

452
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: That what became your pot Like I'm trying to get

453
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: the past Emmy lou Loves.

454
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: Oh, Emmy lou Loves.

455
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: Well, yes, So we had a season of dot Com

456
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: Social and then the second season came out and we

457
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: called it Emmy Lou Loves because we wanted I wanted

458
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: to have it was still a talk show back then,

459
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: and I wanted to have my brand attached to it

460
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: because I thought and so nigive back in the day.

461
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: I was like, what about if like a network picks

462
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 2: it up and they take the name and then they

463
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: can just get any presentage to do it.

464
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to call it Emmy lou Loves. And that

465
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: was my thinking.

466
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 2: So we had the second season, which was dot Com

467
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: Social again and you were the finale of that, and

468
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: Peter Hitchener was on Peter and we moved from Channel

469
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: thirty one studios it was still a Channel thirty one show,

470
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: but to the r MiTV Studios, which is amazing studios

471
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: at the UNI like incredible, So.

472
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 3: We kind of moved up.

473
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: So each season we moved up and up, and then

474
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: that second season of Emmy Lou Loves as the talk

475
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: show where you were the finale for that in that

476
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: live event, which is solid my god, and that grazing platter.

477
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Dude, I didn't know that you'd done it, Like I

478
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: didn't know.

479
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: I know that that one was that one I hired

480
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: someone to do that.

481
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it was like I felt like it was

482
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: about fifteen meters long.

483
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: And so then from there I changed the format. I

484
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: decided that, you know, we just started to get some

485
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: sponsors interested and they were really happy with the talk show,

486
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: and then I kind of started pitch, Hey, people love

487
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: the talk show, but what they really just want to

488
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: see is me doing stories on TV. So let's change

489
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: it up. And that's when I was like, do I

490
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: have budget to create a reality show? And that's where

491
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: we started so addictive, like even researching you. I was like, oh,

492
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: just watch an app to like get another feel for it,

493
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: and I was like four Repsteep, oh my god, and

494
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Christian as well, and you know, I really wanted to

495
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: make that you know, it's not manufactured drama. So I

496
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: wanted to have a reality show where we weren't hurting

497
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: other people's feelings, we weren't fighting with other people, there

498
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: was no drama as such. And people thought like I

499
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: was crazy, and I get it because you know, in

500
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: the you know, you study acting, in the art of storytelling,

501
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: you need to have you know, the problem, the solution,

502
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, all those kinds of things. But what I

503
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: wanted was just thirty minutes of people to tune out

504
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: and have fun and watch someone like chase their dreams

505
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: and just have fun and so they could walk away

506
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: and feel like they could do something.

507
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: And you included your community like thatfo shopping and you

508
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: talk your own shopping And I was like, how did

509
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: I not know it? I'm getting fomo right now, Like, yes,

510
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: it was a reality show, but it felt like a

511
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: very inclusive reality show where if I was walking down

512
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: the streets, so waw you feel me, I'd be so

513
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: comfortable running up to you being like.

514
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: Sup, exactly exactly.

515
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: And then the cooking, the community cooking episode is so

516
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: great because we had people come in and try the recipes,

517
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: and you know, that's the whole point. And that's why

518
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 2: with the events, you know, I make it quite a

519
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: point of making a ticketed event for my community so

520
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: they can come, they can enjoy a party, they can

521
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: enjoy a press well, they can do all those things

522
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: that we kind of only ever see influencers or celebrities do.

523
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: And you know, like I'll invite maybe one or two

524
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: influencers that are my mates and stuff. But everyone is

525
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 2: the same, so everyone gets a you know, if you

526
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: want to buy a ticket, you buy a ticket. It

527
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you work or where your celebrity status is.

528
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: There's no VIP room, there's nothing like that. It's just

529
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: everybody is included. And you just get three hundred men

530
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: and women, mostly women, having the best time and they're

531
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: just like really you know, beefing themselves up, like you know,

532
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: they're in the toilets chatting. They make friends for life

533
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: and that's but they get to experience everything that they

534
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: see on socials but for themselves.

535
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: I love it. And another thing that I love is

536
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: your new book, Dude. The best bit that I was like,

537
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I was actually looking at with my dad because I'm

538
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: half in Melbourn and half on the surf coast, and

539
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: I was like, god on the podcast, Dad, and he's like,

540
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: really show me and we're going through all the recipes

541
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: and then I flip and I'm like, oh my goodness,

542
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: how to do the perfect brow?

543
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: Are yet sold?

544
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: I love that it's you, and like I've worked with

545
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Pam Mac and that before and they're wonderful and like

546
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: it feels like when I read it, I feel like

547
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: it's you. Yeah.

548
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a wonderful job in doing that.

549
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's out now as well. Yep, Okay, talk

Speaker 2: recipes and stuff like that, but you know, I'm not

556
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: showing you a huge amount of like there's no gingerbread

557
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 2: houses and things like that. It's a summer as one

558
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: behind you as we run behind me, Yes, there is

559
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: one behind me that I had to get because I

560
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: can't make one like that.

561
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: That is so beautiful.

562
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: That's from the set.

563
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: It's a problem. That stunning And as I came in

564
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: here there's Christmas trees everywhere and I'm like, oh, that's

565
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: the set.

566
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we've just we've bumped out of the studio,

567
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: so the house is filled. We're amongst props, right, now,

568
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, it really is about simple dishes that you

569
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: can do, so you know, and really easy things. You know,

570
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: there's god, there is a glazed ham there. But I'd

571
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: have to say most of the other things you would

572
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 2: do anytime, all year round, do you know what I mean?

573
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: Like your whole style is like simple hacks like tips

574
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: and trees. That's how to make it good. Like even

575
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: like little things like I watched your YouTube vid about

576
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: how to make a good grazing platter. Yes, Like who

577
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: does want to learn that? And you're like, just watch

578
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: wash your straws and your berries in the sync but

579
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: in their container.

580
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: Yes, so they're separate. Yeah, And I was like, soap

581
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: them in there, yeah, I know, And just little things

582
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: like that, because people can do anything, do you know

583
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: what I mean? And as much as you know, God,

584
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: I love social media so much. I feel sometimes with

585
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: the reels or the time lapses of makeup and styling,

586
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 2: we lose the voice and we lose the communication and stuff.

587
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 3: And so I'm really big and you would be too.

588
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: You're a presenter, you know, Like I love being able

589
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: to present things and talk things out with people because

590
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: we just it's just this flash of like reels and

591
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: fast paced time lapses, and we don't actually get any

592
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: real content or how to you know, so I'll always

593
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: want to be able to like show people the little things,

594
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: you know, makes a big difference.

595
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: The thing that I freaking love about you is you

596
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, I got this dream, I'm going to

597
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: make it happen. Because traditionally, becoming a TV present would

598
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: mean have your media training, which I know you've had.

599
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Then it would be shopping for a manager, building a

600
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: show real and crossing your fingers and toes that you

601
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: somehow get the job. And even I know, and I've

602
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: been working media for over ten years now twelve years,

603
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: jobs are few and far between of being a TV presenter.

604
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I've shot fifteen pilots, none of them are being green

605
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: lit and they're like, you're just a segment girl, Ala,

606
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: So like, I get that, it's hard to kind of

607
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: like crack that industry. So you were just like, nah,

608
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to be my own EP. I'm going to

609
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: make this happen. And your mantra was I'm going to

610
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: be one take wonder pretty much. When I heard that,

611
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, that's amazing because even

612
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: for me I shout a campaign a few days ago,

613
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, it took me three or

614
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: four gos to get it.

615
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: But having now worked a little bit, I understand that

616
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: you do kind of need to do three or four

617
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: times because you get out the juicy stuff in the content.

618
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: But you know, when I first started on Stories, I

619
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: was so naive to the media industry. I thought, if

620
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: I get a job, and can we just I'll just

621
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: be clear and say that I thought jobs for TV

622
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: presenting were on Seek dot com. I used to go

623
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: on there and type in TV presenter. Yeah, that's how

624
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: naive I was, and Channel nine TV presenter, and I

625
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: would I would just type.

626
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Things, do you know how I got on morning TV

627
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: Cold Call Cold Up back in the day.

628
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 3: That's amazing as your style?

629
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: And so I thought if I presented on Stories as

630
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: these one takes, that when I finally did get an audition,

631
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: which I would get through Seek so ridiculous, that I

632
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: would be able to know and people would think, oh, great, well,

633
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: we don't have to spend long filming her budgets are type.

634
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: That was my mentality.

635
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: But now, having you know, been presenting for a while,

636
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: I realized, yes, you do want to have that really

637
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: quick articulation. You want to have that confidence to walk

638
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: down the street. That's the sort of stuff you do

639
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: learn from being the one Take Wonder. But doing it

640
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: three four times you do pull out some really juicy pieces.

641
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: That you didn't know your hat in you. You know,

642
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 3: it's like acting, you got to pull it out.

643
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm not too good at the acting

644
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 2: because the repetitiveness of it is a killer.

645
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Acting is so hard. I say, it's as scary as

646
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: skydiving to people, but when it clicks, it's like electricity

647
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: running through your veins and I cannot liken any other

648
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: feeling to it. TV hosting and acting a very different fields.

649
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: And I was thinking to my therapist, I said, TV

650
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: hosting is my purpose, like exactly, I love your style stuff,

651
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: And I'm like, but acting feels like it fills up

652
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: my heart in a different way.

653
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: Wow.

654
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: And so I was like, I'm going to do both,

655
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: so Cook, do whatever you want. So okay. One thing

656
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: when you described about just then, how you were like, Okay,

657
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: the reason I want to be One Take Wonder is

658
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to go in kind of save time, save money,

659
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: so that it's a really that's a producer's brain, that's

660
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: a problem solver's brain. And I think that's why you're

661
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: so magical, because you have the ability to EP yourself

662
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: YEP and produce yourself, and a lot of talent don't.

663
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that. But you are a

664
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: package deal where you're like, nah, I got this. You

665
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: and I were just talking about editing and stuff before

666
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: you've got this. My question view is which fills your

667
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: cup the most.

668
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: I'd have to say, just after a recent experience too,

669
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: I love producing so much, and you know what, I

670
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: think this year we had the break and then we're

671
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: coming back on this is my first show on Channel ten,

672
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: and I thought.

673
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: Oh god, you know, maybe I do need to you know,

674
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm not like the.

675
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 2: Best producer, like maybe, But then I've realized, especially over

676
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: this last week, hey, you know what you're producing skills,

677
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: Your EP skills has gotten you to this point. You know,

678
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: Channel ten gave you the show no one else, you know,

679
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: the sponsors said yes to you, nobody else. Yeah, and

680
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: so I have really You've caught me on the back

681
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: of a massive learning curve this week, and I'll never

682
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: never doubt myself again, you know, and that's a bold

683
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: one to make right now, but that has been a

684
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: massive learning curve for me this week. And I'd have

685
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: to say ep like producing and being executive producer is

686
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: definitely something that really fills my heart because it's that storytelling.

687
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: And I also realize, like I want to give more.

688
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: I want to give more than what a lot of

689
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: you know, people in the traditional media want to give.

690
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: And I feel that the audience deserves more and wants

691
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: more that I want fluffy stuff, they want more, And

692
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: that's kind of my next goal now is to just

693
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: keep going with that.

694
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: In my mind, I.

695
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: Still love traditional media so much and I'm still trying

696
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: to figure out a way that I can blend social media.

697
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: And I know people say traditional media is kind of

698
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: dead and blah blah blah. You know how they say that,

699
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: and I'm like, no, it's not. I turn on my

700
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: TV every night, it's not.

701
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 3: And you know, and we love the glamour, we love

702
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: romance to it.

703
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: It is. There is a romance to it, and I'm

704
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: still trying to find a way to blend those two together.

705
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: But I definitely know that I, you know, especially with

706
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: Emmy Lou loves the reality TV.

707
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: I've definitely pioneered.

708
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: A lot more Emily Loves coming back.

709
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: Well yeah, hopefully, well once once COVID's over and we

710
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: can film safely. You know, we're lucky to have gotten

711
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: the Emmylou's Christmas table out, but with Emmy Lou Loves, like,

712
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: we need community, we need events, and it wasn't safe

713
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: to do that for the sake.

714
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: Of a show, so we just had to wait. Oh

715
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: my goodness, I could ask you so much about this.

716
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: Can I say one thing, This isn't a question one

717
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent, can always be your own EP because I'm

718
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: pretty positive Jamie Oliver is. Yeah. And my friend was

719
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: working radio and he was filming Jamie Oliver once, Yeah,

720
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: and he was on set and he could hear a

721
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: buzz or a phone like two or three meet like

722
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: out literally out of the room, and he said, someone's

723
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: phones on, like they were literally about to shoot cameras

724
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: rolling and he's like, stop someone's phones on, And he

725
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: was just producing himself to get the best content, save time,

726
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: be clear. And it sounds weird, but like have your

727
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: own back and I feel like you've got that in space.

728
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I recently kind of like let that go

729
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 2: and I and I realized, well, no one.

730
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to have your own back, you really do.

731
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: And it's okay too, and you really have to be

732
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 2: aware of you know, what's out there and white people,

733
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: what intentions other people have, like you know, that's something

734
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: that I guess again naives, you know, naive and inexperience,

735
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: and I think that's what stops a lot of people

736
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: like you and I getting to that next level in

737
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: TVLand is you know, there can be that toxicity there,

738
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: you know, with people not having your back or having

739
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: their own back and really producing because of their own yeah,

740
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: their own needs, yeah exactly, and their own ego, whereas

741
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, you're producing from a creative space.

742
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 3: That's the difference.

743
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: When you're producing from a talent perspective, you're producing from

744
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: a creative space, and when you're producing from you know,

745
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: like an influencer perspective, you're producing because of what your

746
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: community wants and needs as well.

747
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: Again, totally they're different hats, aren't they.

748
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: Ye.

749
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: So there's so much stuff I want to ask about you.

750
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: So you've also got to wonderful fashion line.

751
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, a wonderful fashion Linton. It's not a line.

752
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty small at the moment, you know, a couple

753
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: of handful of aprons, two jumpsuits. I mean last yeah,

754
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: the hoodies went crazy last year. We launched a full

755
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 2: collection this year with COVID. I wasn't comfortable in doing that,

756
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't. You know, that is such a

757
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: new business for me and a new line, and fashion

758
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: is a very hard world and very cut through and

759
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: I really I'm really trying to find Australian made for me.

760
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: That's a big thing. And so I've really scaled back,

761
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 2: you know. I do produce a couple of bits and pieces.

762
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: The community love it, we love the aprons.

763
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: That's great, But.

764
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has scaled right back, and I feel like

765
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: I can't move forward with that until we get just

766
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: we just need a little bit more structure in place

767
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: with it. And so yeah, but you know that's okay, too,

768
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: like to pull back and go nah, I'm not sort

769
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: of happy to get Let's chill out for a while,

00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: Let's bring out beautiful aprons and what we've got and

771
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: then go from there.

772
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: What I love is you've you know, trained in beauty

Speaker 1: would say, being a storyteller and a creative, which is

777
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: pretty much what an actor is obviously being a producer fashion.

778
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: I just hit on makeup. I just hit on what

779
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 1: I love is. You don't fit in a box. You're like, well,

780
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: these are the things I love. I'm passionate about all

781
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: of them. I'm going to kind of like in yoga,

782
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: we call it follow your dama, And I feel like

783
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: you're and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I

784
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: feel like you navigate yourself depending on what feels good.

785
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: Oh exactly, And I think that's that's the reality of

786
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: life though, you know, I mean, what I say on

787
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: this podcast and how I feel about something today might

788
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: be completely different to what I've said on a podcast

789
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: three years ago, I mean, or two years ago or

790
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: two years from now, you know, because we're growing, We're

791
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: constantly evolving, and so you know, me as a beauty

792
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: therapist at eighteen years old, its completely different to me

793
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: telling you about your skin and skin care needs now

794
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: as a forty one year old.

795
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, so like it.

796
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: That's the thing you've got to constantly be navigating and

797
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: moving and evolving. And I think the one thing that

798
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: people kind of get caught up on is that you

799
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: have to have this one structured thought process.

800
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 3: You have to have this one ideal.

801
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't call it like your values never

802
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: really change, but you have to have all these kind

803
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: of ideas that sit in a box. And then you're

804
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: not allowed a maneuver out of that, but you have

805
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: to be allowed to. And I think that's you know,

806
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: that's the thing that I tried to share with people. Hey,

807
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 2: you're allowed to change your goal set. You're allowed to

808
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: change your dream, your weight, you're you know, you like

809
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: do it, your haircut. You can do whatever the fuck

810
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: you want to do, you know. And that's the thing

811
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 2: that people gravitate towards because you know, you do as

812
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: a presenter as anyone. You know, you are you a mum,

813
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: You're a mum blogger, You're a fashion person.

814
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 3: And it's like, fucking no way.

815
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm forty one years old with like a lifetime of experience,

816
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 2: and you know, today I don't feel like like today

817
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing any makeup or or you know, today

818
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: I feel like being a Glamazon. It's totally up to

819
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: you every day.

820
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: So you look like a glamozon today? Can I say?

821
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: As I was coming in, Emmy Lou was getting makeup done,

822
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: I loved it. I was like, I feel like I'm

823
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: part of Emi Lou Loves right now. Okay, So I

824
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: want to know, so we know we've got Christmas series cut,

825
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: this Christmas episode sorry coming out, and then what is

827
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: I gonna be honest, I have no idea, you know,

828
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm really this year has obviously, you know, I just

829
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: haven't tried to fight against the year. Like I've done

830
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: a few bits of pivoting, like you know, came out

831
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: with the magazine during Io.

832
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 3: Yes, a few bits and pieces like that, you know.

833
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, you're in the mad You're beautiful.

834
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: You look so gorgeous.

835
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: So you know, I've spent this year kind of chilling out,

836
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: and I feel like going into next year, I don't

837
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: have any real solid goals set yet because I actually

838
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: kind of need to see what this now looks like.

839
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: There is a new landscape out there, and I.

840
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: Don't even know what the fuck is going on, and

841
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 2: so I'm just kind of taking each project as it comes,

842
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: and then from there that's what I'm like, I'll kind

843
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: of put my feelers out. I'll be like, ah, this

844
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: is where we're at now, this is what's happening, this

845
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: is you know, what we're in the middle of.

846
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 3: And then that's where my.

847
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 2: Creative brain starts to go, oh, let's do this, or

848
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 2: let's do this, or let's take any lou loves here

849
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: or whatever. And there's a few things to catch up on,

850
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: Like we had to cancel the New York trip. We

851
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: had a massive shopping trip for my community going to

852
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 2: New York. So it's thirty women that I was taking

853
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 2: to New York right now. We should be in New

854
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: York right now actually, So you know a couple of

855
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: things like that that we have to kind of go like,

856
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: is this happening next year?

857
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: And you know the plan to hopefully do that next year.

858
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, because we just have to wait and

859
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 2: see with how the world kind of ends up and

860
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 2: where everyone kind of lands. I think, so I don't

861
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 2: have any massive, massive goals, but one thing I think

862
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 2: I really want to do is just try to create

863
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: a bit more balance and it sounds so fucking wanky,

864
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 2: but you know, this year, I've spent all seven months

865
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 2: at home, and you know, there's a part of me

866
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: is so thankful because I was headed towards burnout after

867
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: last year. Been so busy this week, this last two

868
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 2: weeks filming the show, you know, being on set every day,

869
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: not seeing the kids.

870
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: We're kind of back to where I was last year.

871
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: And I was like, Oh, this ain't happening again, you know,

872
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 2: like I've worked too hard in my career. I should

873
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: be able now find some sort of balance, whether that

874
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: means it goes in cycles where we go, hey, kids,

875
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 2: Mum's busy for three weeks, but then I got three

876
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: weeks with you, like whatever.

877
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 3: That is something that's very at the forefront of my mind.

878
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: You might want to steal this tip. I learned it.

879
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: I was in London filming with Jamie Oliver's camera crew,

880
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: and I was filming a series and I said, what's

881
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: his What's so magical about him? Like, and he's so prolific,

882
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: like he creates so much content and shows. And the

883
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: guy I said, he goes, oh, he has two crews

884
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: and I go what And he said, he has eighteen

885
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: hour day and at the eight hour monk you do

886
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: your eight hour thing and they reset flip the crew,

887
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: but Jamie stays and so he'll film with two separate

888
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: crews in one hit.

889
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: Wow, that's so my style.

890
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: I would film all day and night, like lose eyes

891
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 2: lighting up or so I.

892
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 3: Would do that.

893
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: But obviously you can't with crew and you've got to

895
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: of stuff.

Speaker 3: There's a lot that goes into.

897
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Just yeah, well he flips, he has a whole different

898
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: set and crew come in, he gets fed, and then

Speaker 2: and then this, And I was like, no, no, I

931
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: just want like an acting boot camp. So then I

932
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 2: spoke to a really you know, well known casting director

933
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: in the industry and works with you know, like quite

934
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: big Hollywood stars and things like that. And he's Australian

935
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: and I just said, would you mind if we just

936
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 2: create an acting boot camp. I don't need anything off

937
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 2: you just acting boot camp.

938
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: You just tell me what to do.

939
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: I'll upload it every week. You know, you can just

940
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: give me advice, like via video or whatever. Like I

941
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: don't want to take up any time, but I just

942
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: don't have a huge amount of time to invest in

943
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 2: this and I need something punchy.

944
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 3: I can't go over and over and so that is

945
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 3: where I'm at.

946
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: So that's why it's not acting school.

947
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 3: It's it's a self organized acting boot camp for EMI Loop.

948
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it though, and I think it's just

949
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: doing creative things. You'll find that it just trickles into

950
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: your world. Like you might even be doing a salmon

951
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: recipe or something and you're like, oh shit, that's that thing.

952
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: I went feedback act like even for me. The other night,

953
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: I was putting an acting scene up and I wasn't

954
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: listening to my scene partner probably and my director said

955
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: just take a quick breath in as soon as he speaks,

956
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, and so this spoke and

957
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I took a breath in. It forces you to listen

958
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: and be with your scene pattern. I was like, that's

959
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: a cool hat.

960
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 3: That is so cool.

961
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that handy? So if you were interviewing someone you

962
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: felt like you were worried about the cameras or which

963
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: lend was on. Breathe in as they start speaking.

964
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm doing that now. Sorry, I'm just breathing in.

965
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: How cool?

966
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: But you're age how much you go hand in hand? Well,

967
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: they so do, yeah and yeah. But I want to

968
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: see you. I want to say I'm so. I've already

969
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: DMed you probably fifteen times, going oh my god, the Christmas,

970
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: the Christmas special. I'm a Christmas nerd. I cannot wait.

971
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 3: Well, and you know it's not super Christmasy. Isn't that

972
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: what I love?

973
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: And stuff? Did you say?

974
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: No, it's got no cave, it's got no have And

975
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: that's the thing. It's not super super Christmasy. It's really

976
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 2: about taking that complicated out of Christmas and keeping it

977
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: really because I feel like a lot of us, you know,

978
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: we have all the Christmasy stuff up, but you know,

979
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: when it comes to the big day, we just want

980
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 2: to spend time with our family, especially after the year

981
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: that we've had, and so I really wanted to show

982
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: that I didn't want to show complicated stuff.

983
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 3: I didn't want to, you know, I showed.

984
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: Really beautiful craft right from like what I would do

985
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: when I go to Spotlight and show this really amazing

986
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 2: little craft. But I didn't want to show a heap

987
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: of them because I just feel like, don't get weighed

988
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: down and what you feel like you have to do.

989
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: Just feed beautiful food in abundance, fresh food.

990
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: People. Those strawberries I saw.

991
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: The strawberries are amazing, amazing, amazing Victorian strawberries.

992
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: And they got on and sponsored and got involved.

993
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they're so incredible. I've been working with them

994
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: for years now. They's so amazing. And that's what I

995
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: loved is you know it's all about Australian produce as well.

996
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: So good. This has gone so fast. Okay, no, don't

Speaker 2: I love it.

999
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: I love it. My final question for you is if

1000
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: you had a mantra or bumper sticker, what would it be?

1001
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I only have the one, which is living your

1002
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: dream is hard. Not living your dream is hard. Choose

1003
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 2: your heart.

1004
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,200

1023
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: comes out every Friday. They're just really short episodes where

1024
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: we talk about things from sustainable Prazzy ideas to staying

1025
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: on the health wagon during their festive season. So that

1026
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,040

1031
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: that you can do for us this Chrissy is subscribe.

1032
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: The more people that subscribe, the more love that we get,

1033
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: and the more that we can grow this pod, which

1034
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: is an absolute labor of love, but we do want

1035
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: to see it, you know, really thrive and succeed. So

1036
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: if you can subscribe and tell your mates too, we'd

1037
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: be absolutely wrapped.
