Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite meal?

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: I mean it sounds very generic with pizza?

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: Okay you no? No? What's what's on top?

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: I thought the whole joy that was pizza could have

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: anything on top?

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Are you a pineapple person?

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: I am a pineapple per Yuma.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Americans can't stand anthobis on a pizza.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: Do you know I want anchovies on everything?

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Same you and me both.

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: Maybe not with the pineapple.

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm with you on that one too.

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite song?

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: Oh? Favorite song? Okay? All I want for Christmas is you.

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I thought you were to give me a tea swizzle like, oh.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: My God, I should have been Taylor Swift. I am

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: a Taylor fan. But I also love Christmas and I

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: love that song, so it's a double.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: Love Christmas so much. Also, I love Halloween so much,

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: so your book is perfect for Halloween.

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Halloween and I'm hoping that I'm going

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: to see people dressed up as my characters next Halloween.

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: One thousand million percent, one thousand million percent. What's the

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: bravest thing you've done. Bravest thing I've done, I think

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: is write this book. Yeah, like it's it might be

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: a book about ghosts and witches and everything else, but

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: it has an emotional heart to it that is really

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: important to me.

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: And putting that out there so that people can read

39
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, that felt brave.

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: Which is called the book is called A Girl Called

41
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Cops and it's officially out now good Crimbo Prosy as well.

42
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: It is Okay. So if you weren't, I feel like

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: I might know the ns is. But if you weren't

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: a writer and creating books for awesome kiddos like the is,

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: what would you be doing? Because when we met, you

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: were a natural pathom well when we.

47
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: Met, yeah, I was a naturopath and then I worked

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: as a nutritionist and we worked in health and wellness.

49
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't go back to that now. Maybe I

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: would like open a resort for cute dogs somewhere.

51
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you've got a very long career ahead

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: of you of writing books like this. So you're set.

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Do you have a fear?

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: I do it? Let's come back to this.

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do you know it's the most interesting bequition.

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people say needles?

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Really?

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and death they're the two big, big guns that

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: come up. But have a think you can sit on

60
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: that one.

61
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: I'll sit on that one.

62
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: You will like this next question? What would your superpower

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: be if you could have one?

64
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, my superpower would be flight?

65
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, quick flight, Like, would you want to get somewhere quickly?

66
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: I'd like to take my time? Yeah, I would like

67
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: to take my time. Yeah. The other one is invisibility.

68
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: But someone told me once that if you say that,

69
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: you must be shifty, because what are you trying to

70
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: get away with?

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: Oh? No, invisibility is so handy A shifty lola. Probably. Okay,

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: would you say you've had a.

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: Failure, I would say I've had a lot of failures.

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: I would say that. I would say I've had multiple failures,

75
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: even in writing, even in my writing career, I've had

76
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: a lot of failures. But I would say that my

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: view of what a failure has been has changed. So

78
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: I would say the first three books I wrote technically failures.

79
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: But if you see a failure as a diversion rather

80
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: than a end of the road, then failures are fine.

81
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Oh I love that. If you had a spirit animal,

82
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: what would it be?

83
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Giraffe? Oh? Yeah, you're very tall, one hundred percent. I

84
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but whenever I see a giraffe,

85
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, brother, And then what say?

86
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Your favorite animal is.

87
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: A very specific answer for that would be Hagrid my dog? Yeah,

88
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: of course, generically, also giraffe. What is Hagrid's breed? Hagrid

89
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: is a flat coated Retriever, so he's much like a

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: Golden Retriever, but jet black and they stay puppies forever.

91
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: So he's forty five kilos of tornado energy.

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Amazing. What's something that moved you recently?

93
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Something that moved me recently was a book my b

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: Something that moved me recently was a book by my

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: friend Tobias Man Anything but Fine. It's a queer YA story,

96
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 2: and I think that as a gay guy myself, it

97
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: kind of the Luca's story in it felt so relatable,

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: and you know, I didn't often get a chance to

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: read stories like that when I was a teenager, so

100
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: it really kind of a tear to my eye.

101
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to read this because I

102
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: loved Holding the Man, which is probably not Ya.

103
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: Holding the Man is probably a little bit older. Yeah,

104
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 2: but a beautiful, beautiful book. That's a gut wrenching book.

105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: You've seen the movie as well, I have incredible Yes.

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: So good. I mean, it's such a classic. I love

107
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: Holding Man, but Anything but Fine is kind of much

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: more warm and fuzzies, and it's that kind of that

109
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: kind of moving.

110
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Sign me up. I'm totally going to read this. Okay,

111
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: So this is a hard question for you. So I'm

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: actually gonna put this next one. I'm going to reverse.

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a different question before it because I

114
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: feel like you're going to be Yeah, So do you

115
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: have a favorite movie? First?

116
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: Hocus Pocus?

117
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Have you watched the second?

118
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: And the second one was really good? Have you seen it?

119
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: I've met that I've Scott it on Disney Plus to watch,

120
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: but I've met the costume designer and he was showing

121
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: me all the costs.

122
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: Amazing. It's so good because it's a it's kind of

123
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: strong enough, it's a strong story on its own that

124
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: it stands on its own two feet. But if you

125
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: love hocus Pocus like me, there are enough kind of

126
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: tips of the hat and nods to the original that

127
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: you feel it's very satisfying.

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: Well, he was saying that even about the costumes. He

129
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: was like, we had to make them nod to the

130
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: original so that it he didn't veer too far away

131
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: from it.

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: It's so interesting and you can just tell that that

133
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: Catherine and Jimmy, Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker are

134
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: all having the time of their lives. They really look

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: like they just had so much fun filming it. And

136
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: that's what it should because it's such a fun movie.

137
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Okay, watching that as soon as I get home as well. Okay,

138
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: so I'm going to go to the question that I

139
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hard for you. Do you have

140
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 1: a favorite book?

141
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: I actually do, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Have

142
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: read down so it's middle grade as well. It's about

143
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: a It has quite a dark premise, but so it's

144
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: about a boy who parents are murdered. We don't know

145
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: who by. We see it happen at the start of

146
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: the book, but we don't know who the figures that

147
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: does it. And he's a baby and he manages to

148
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: escape and he makes his way up to a graveyard

149
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: where he is raised by the ghosts there. So we

150
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: see his entire childhood being raised by these ghosts, which

151
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: sounds like, oh my god, that is so dark, But

152
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: the sense of family he has with these ghosts is

153
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: so warm. And I think that that's what I love

154
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 2: about that kind of dark story for kids in general,

155
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: is that it has to be balanced out. The darkness

156
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: has to be balanced out by warmth and humor and

157
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: lovely things. And so I think that it's a really

158
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: beautiful story.

159
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: This is why I keep coming back to I'm going

160
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: to send you clips from it as soon as we

161
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: get off this pod. Muscle the Shell with No Shoes,

162
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: with Shoes, Yes, please love it because it's about grief,

163
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: which is sad for anyone but kiddos, but it's so

164
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: warm and entertaining that you're just laughing and crying at

165
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the same time.

166
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: Well, you need to be able to deal with these.

167
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: You need to be able to tell kids stories that

168
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: deal with difficult issues. We can't sugarcoat and pretend they

169
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: don't happen. And that's why you look at things like

170
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: do you remember the movie Soul? Yeah? Yeah, oh my god,

171
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Like the character dies right at the beginning, and it's

172
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: about the afterlife, but it is so life affirming. And

173
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: I think that's what you need to be able to

174
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: do with kids stories. You talk about those dark things,

175
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: but in a hopeful way.

176
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: I hope is what gets me through. Like that's one

177
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: of my value systems to actually feel hopeful. And I

178
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: think that you can almost tackle anything uncomfortable as long

179
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: as there's hope. Okay, So what would you say is

180
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: your best habit?

181
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Maybe tenacity my best No, that is right, though, my

182
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: I would say kind of. I would say discipline and

183
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: tenacity like I work hard. I would also say that's

184
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: my worst trade. Yeah yeah, if that's your next question,

185
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: it's also my worst trade because I don't know where

186
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: to I need to be better at putting kind of

187
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: boundaries in place.

188
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So I've got some weird questions now because this

189
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: is about facing fears and failing. Have you ever skydived?

190
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: No? Booked it three times, and all three times it

191
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: was cancer on the day due to weather. I was like,

192
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: that is a.

193
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: Sign that what miss sharks? You're from WA?

194
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: Never done it. I'm terrified of sharks, And now you've

195
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: just I've answered the other question about my fear. I

196
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: am terrified of sharks.

197
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: But I feel like where you grew up, I know

198
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: you grew up more farmed, didn't you.

199
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, And also like there are a lot of sharks

200
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: in WA, but we're not mates with them. No one

201
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: goes out of their way. I'm going to go looking

202
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: for a shark today.

203
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite holiday destination?

204
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: Favorite holiday destination would be duns Broke in the southwest

205
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: w A. It's says something about that place. I mean,

206
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: we have so much beautiful coastline in Australia, but there's

207
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 2: something about that in particular because I went there as

208
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: a kid with my brother and sister. The smells, kind

209
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: of just the colors, everything, it just triggers really fond

210
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: memories inside. And so I think that that allows a

211
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: certain kind of it allows me to relax more than

212
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: I could anywhere else.

213
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: And what about cities You've lived all over New York, Yeah,

214
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: the complete opposite.

215
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm like little Beach Village and New York.

216
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Do you know I remember from I think we had

217
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: this conversation at least seven years ago and you said,

218
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: I want to I can see myself writing in a

219
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: little apartment apartment in like you probably said, like Greenwich

220
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: Village or East Village or something.

221
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 2: Definitely would have been one of those two, because when

222
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: I used to go over and stay quite a bit,

223
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: I would always be in one of those two areas.

224
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: Loved it, that was weak had then that was what

225
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: I was going to be a writer in New York City.

226
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: Still still, would you call yourself an introvert or extrovert?

227
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: I am such an introvert, yeah, And I think people

228
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: are surprised by that because a lot of my career

229
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: has involved being quite visible. And yeah, there's been a

230
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: lot of public speaking and I can do that kind

231
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: of stuff, but I view it as performance, and when

232
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: I actually switch off after the performance, I am exhausted.

233
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: I can spend a lot of time on my own.

234
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: I am one million percent with you. Everyone's like no,

235
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: but you're so loud and confident. I'm like, no, no, no,

236
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I then need to be a lone wolf.

237
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: See that surprises me as well. And I've known you

238
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: for twelve years or whatever it is that still surprises

239
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: me to.

240
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Hear no, no, no no after I've done something. But

241
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: I can do the work thing like you, Like I'm

242
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: in a work mode. I can do public speaking whatever.

243
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: And then I'm like and don't need to talk to

244
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: humans for three days now, Please nobody call me. What's

245
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: the best piece of advice you've got? And if you

246
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: don't know, what advice would you give to someone?

247
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: So the best piece of advice I ever got. This

248
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: is going to sound a little bit strange because it

249
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: sounds really cruel and harsh, but it was actually so liberating.

250
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: Came from a psychologist I used to see. Because I'm

251
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: a very anxious person, right, and I worry about everything,

252
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: and I worry about what people think of me, and

253
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: I worry about circumstances that aren't ever going to happen anyway.

254
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: My psychologist says, he says, to meet Reese, stop overestimating

255
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: your own importance, which, like sounds really crushing, sounds really crushing.

256
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: But what he meant is no one else is thinking

257
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: about you nearly as much as you think they are.

258
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: People have their own stuff going on, and it was

259
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: so liberal. I was like, oh, yeah, why do I

260
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: think that that one little mistake I made six months

261
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: ago is you know, is still a big deal. Everyone

262
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: else was forgotten about it. He's like, don't have rest

263
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: make your own importance.

264
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, did you do that thing? When you'd

265
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: have a conversation with people? Then you'd be like, oh,

266
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: what do if I said that thing? And then did

267
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: I say it wrong? Or did they think that I

268
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: was being for me? I have a therapist as well,

269
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: but it's my boyfriend. That'll be like, Lola, they're not

270
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: even thinking about it.

271
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: Don't want Yeah, I don't care. I think it was

272
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: I saw. The same sort of advice was also put

273
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: in Shit's Creek. Did you watch Shit's Creek?

274
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: That Christmas episode? I watch every Christmas?

275
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: So good? Alexas says Todave what David is when he's

276
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: going to get his license. She's like, David, nobody's thinking

277
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: about you the way that you're thinking about you. And

278
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: I was like, that's exactly it, Like we fret on

279
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: as you say, these conversations we had a million years ago,

280
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: these little gaps we made, no one else thinking about it.

281
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: In fact, chances are they're probably worrying about something they

282
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: said to you, which you've also forgotten.

283
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Totally, totally, totally, okay. If you could switch large to anybody,

284
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: who would it be?

285
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: Nobody? I like mine? Oh, I like I.

286
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Like that answer. And I know you've answered this in

287
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: the main pod. But if you have a little version

288
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: of this, any advice for a young writer, it's your

289
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: final question.

290
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: My advice for a young writer is to forget everything

291
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: you think you know about talent. I think talent is

292
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: a myth. I think that you know absolutely everybody by

293
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: virtue of being a human being, is a creative being.

294
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: And I think that you've got everything that it takes.

295
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: You just have to go and learn how to write,

296
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: because writing is a skill set that can be learned,

297
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: it can be taught, and once you've got those tools,

298
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: you'll have everything you need to shape your imagination into stories.

299
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Hard work. Trump's talent every single every time. Thank you, Race,

300
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: You're wonderful.
