1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Dumb mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: Are you battling a clutter crisis? Are you overwhelmed and

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: unable to part with the tiniest possessions even though your

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: rooms are full to the brim. We do battle with this.

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: As a modern society. We think success means amassing things,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 2: and suddenly you've got too many things. So many of

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: my friends were discussing about trying to live more lightly.

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: But how do you get rid of your stuff? Peter

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: Walsh is an expert, as we know, getting families decluttered

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: and organized.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Peter, Hello, Hey, Amanda, Hey Jersey, how you guys do it?

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: We are very well, Thanks Peter, Peter, nice to talk

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 3: to you.

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: A lot of my friends are saying exactly this, I

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: want to live more lightly, but at the same time,

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: they're inheriting things from their parents. They've got their kids,

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: junk at home that has sentimental value, jammed in the middle.

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Look, I think everyone's kind of struggling with that that,

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's such I think we've come

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: through COVID. Everyone is in a position of kind of thinking, Wow,

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: I want to live a simpler life. How do I

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: downsize this stuff? How do I just let go of stuff,

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: because I think we've suddenly realized that that happiness doesn't

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: come with more stuff. I think that's a realization we've

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: all come to.

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: And well, what are the basic steps we know we

27
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: have to get rid of stuff. What's how do we

28
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: go about thinking about it?

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: You know, for me, when my mum and dad passed away,

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: it was my dad's war medals and this chipped old

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: plate that mum used to make my favorite dessert on.

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we let go of pretty much everything

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: from mum and dad's place, but for me, they were

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: the two treasures that I kept. So, if you're looking

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: at downsizing, for example, don't feel overwhelmed by everything, but

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: first start with the things that are most significant. And

37
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I think if you pick those things out first, suddenly

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: all the other stuff starts to be less important. I think.

39
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the thing. We're taught that happiness

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: comes with stuff. But you can separate the significant from

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: the it suddenly makes things a lot easier.

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: Because war medals they're easy to stash as.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Well well, stash where Jones were.

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Just talking about, just stash.

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: You know that you can put them anywhere they don't

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: take up. It's not like a lounge and a dining suite.

47
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 3: You can.

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: But if the lounge in the dining suite was a

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: centimental stuff, that's what you'd keep too.

50
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can just put the war medals in a drawer.

51
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: You know, if we didn't have so many, if we

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: didn't have so many cowards in my family, I would

53
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: have some war medals.

54
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: But we don't have anything.

55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: But I think you, I think you point to a

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: really great great I think illustration here. But if things

57
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: are important, and if things are significant, don't toss them

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: in a drawer, pull them out, frame them. And that's

59
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: what I've done with dad's war metal put them in

60
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: a box frame and hang them on a wall. Because

61
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: don't tell me that stuff's important if it's in a

62
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: box covered in dust in the garage or shoved in

63
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: a cupboard in the spare bedroom. Like honor and respect

64
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the things that are really important, and so they create

65
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: then you know a story in oral tradition, something significant.

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: If things are important, honor and respect them. Otherwise, don't

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, don't feed me the bs that this stuff's

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: important if it's just gathering dust somewher in the.

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: House and say, say, your child's favorite toy and you

70
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: do have a lovely memory of it and of them

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: playing with it, is it okay to keep that?

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: Of course?

73
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: You know I'm not saying let go of everything, and

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: it's not my job. And you know I've spoken about

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: this before, Amanda. It's not my job to let go

76
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: of the most significant things you know, or tell you

77
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: how to live. But by the same token, I'm pretty

78
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: tough love about this kind of stuff. If stuff is significant,

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: hold on to it and honor and display it. That's

80
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: you know. For example, with you, I've always said it's

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: very important that you actually frame and honor that pair

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: of signed Barry Madelow underwear that you have instead of

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: keeping it stashed away in a draw somewhere.

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true, That is very true.

85
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the world differ between war medals.

86
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: And underpands, but I think we're on the same page.

87
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: Peter, it's always great to talk to you.

88
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: Space Invaders Season two is Saturday seven thirty on Channel

89
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: nine and nine Now.

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: Peter Walsh, It's always a treat.

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: It's always a treat to it. I hate tolley out

92
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: old stories with Amanda, but sometimes I just cannot help myself.

93
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: Yes, you're very cheeky, Peter, goodbye, Thank.

94
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,240
