Speaker 2: then today the Bangalore Bread Company, both delicious, both very good.

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: The other thing is I had a guest on the

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: pod this week. It's not coming out until January, but

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 2: her name is doctor Gina Cleo. She is a habit researcher,

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: really cool, got a book coming out in jan anyway,

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960

31
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: and an armond chriss on Holy Mac.

32
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: All delicious.

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: So where I'm trying to I know about you, but

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: at Christmas time usually I just kind of like really

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: fall off the health wagon and then I've kind of

36
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: got to mop up all this damage in come like

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: you know, January fourth or fifth, where I'm like, oh,

38
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: I just feel like I haven't looked after myself and

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: I haven't moved for a month and I've you know,

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: really indulged. So myth the method I'm trying on this

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: here is to still move every day in some capacity,

42
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: whether it's yogs, plats, walk pete, which is weights, and

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: then still indulge in and try to eat like healthy

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: main meals, but still indulge with little snackies here and there,

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: and a bit of chocolate here and there, and short

46
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: bread and minces.

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: So that is my method at the moment, so far,

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: so good.

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Haven't binge or anything, which is kind of like my

50
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: old habits, so hopefully it works. And then and then

51
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: it would mean that like come January, when I try to,

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: like you know, drop the sugar and drop the inflammatory

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: causing foods a little bit out, it won't be as

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: much of a rude awakening to my bod and it'll

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: be I'll be like, who, Okay, that was an easier

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: transition than I thought. But at the moment, we're just

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: enjoying it all. But I'm making sure I move, still

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: get lots of sleep, still drink really good water, all

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where I'm at now.

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: I had a really yummy meal today that I want

62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,240

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: It is the goat. It is so good.

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: I just randomly found it at a petrol station, so

119
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: I'm hoping I can find it again. Okay, what else

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: have I done since we spoke. I've done a fair

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: few beach swims. Swam at Shipwrecks which is basically the

122
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: Byron Main Beach, and there's literally a shipwreck there that

123
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: you can go snorkeling over and sea fish and.

124
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: All that kind of thing.

125
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: I've done a walk at seven Mile Beach and that

126
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: it's called Lake Ainsworth, which is a tea tree Lake.

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: That was really nice with my friend Kate. What else

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: have I done? I organized Matt's prezzy. I got him

129
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: some Lark whiskey, which he loves it. It's a Tasmanian

130
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: whiskey and yes, it's a really nice little crimbo preso

131
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: for him and he's already dipped in and wanted to

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: taste it.

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: Dad's present.

134
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: We've organized Harvest, which is a restaurant in your BA

135
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: for New Year's Eve, so that's our prezzy to Dad.

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: I also got him Matt Preston signed the book for Dad,

137
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: so he's got that, and I've got him a few

138
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: little like health things under the tree as well. But

139
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: the main thing for him is we love to take

140
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: him out because I don't know about you, but I

141
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: just think parents kind of have what they need a

142
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: lot of the time, and so giving them an experience

143
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: like last year I took him. Last year we got

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: him a voucher to go horse riding on the beach

145
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: in Byron, And the year before that, I took him

146
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: kayaking and we didn't see dolphins will and saw turtles

147
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: and so that we got.

148
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: To go twice.

149
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: We got to go back again. So this year were

150
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: taking him to harvest. It's all experience based here.

151
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Else I got here.

152
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,560

157
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: fetter and like dooker and really thinly sized and I'm

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: pretty sure for memory, and then you put lots of

159
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: basil on top and it's just simple and yum and deliciomo.

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking of making maybe that on Christmas Eve

161
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 2: because it doesn't hold well, like, it doesn't last well,

162
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: So I thought that could be really young one on Christmas,

163
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: even with him doing like a cold potato salad Christmas

164
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: even some seafood, and then Crimbo Day. It's a bigger

165
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: group where with friends and VAM and so we're kind

166
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: of all just pitching in and making different things. But

167
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: it'll be like turkey traditional roast vibes and kind of

168
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: have everyone that's there as kind of health conscious so

169
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: like and help them just healthy people. So it'll be

170
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: kind of like more organic health vibes. And we're still

171
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: trying to side on a gluten free pod because nothing

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: beats my mum's gluten free pod, and so we just

173
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: don't know that we can you know what I mean,

174
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,239
Speaker 2: Like you can't compete with that, So we're not sure.

175
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: We're like, do we not do the pod and like

176
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: things some other cool dessert to do, We're still up

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: in We're still in the air about our dessert for Christmas.

178
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: That's the only thing we're not ready for yet. I

179
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: have done nearly all of my praisos except one friend

180
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm picking up their present tomorrow and another friend I'm

181
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: picking up their presents. Other than that, we're kind of

182
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: like on track and feeling pretty good and feeling pretty ready.

183
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if I ever talk to you guys

184
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: about affiliate links, but basically I love just like being

185
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: a health nerd, and I have been given like affiliate

186
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: links for a few different like local companies. Even a

187
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: friend of mine sent me just some Christmas candles, and

188
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: just like I've set you up at a link and

189
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: it just means your basically audience can get discounts anyway.

190
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: I the superfeas mushrooms are freaking amazing and they're local

191
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 2: from up here too. I've had Mason Taylor on the

192
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: pod before. He's incredible. He's really into Taoism and the

193
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: quality of his products are insane to the membrane, Like

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: there's nothing better as far as like the quality control

195
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: he goes through for both his tonics, which can be

196
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: adaptogenic curbs, as well as the mushrooms. Anyway, they've given

197
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: me a code I think it's Lola, and you get

198
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: ten percent off or anything at Superfee.

199
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: So that's really handy.

200
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: And I've noticed that I'm taking you know how I said,

201
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be healthy like eighty percent of the time.

202
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: Then I'm just letting myself snack whatever I feel like.

203
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: So it's the mushrooms have been like keeping me on

204
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: track as well, because I'm like every morning I'll just

205
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: add some like lines made into my coffee. Or they

206
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: have a product called I Am Gaya and that's like

207
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: a hormone balancer because I got a little bit of

208
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: that shadow of pcos as well. Anyway, and then Kylo

209
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: have a code for me, which I think is also Lola.

210
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: I think they're all Lola codes and that's they've got

211
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: a nutrition brand with like all kind of like collagen

212
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: products and they're based in Brisy. They have a Whole

213
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: Day spar in Brizzy as well, and they've given me

214
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: affiliate link. And then the final one is this toothpowder

215
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: that I talk to about last week called ogg and

216
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: never give me a link, which also gets you tempts

217
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: sent off.

218
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: And I think that the links are literally just Lawla Lola.

219
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Yes, except I had to film and influence a thing

220
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: this week and it's Lola Berry for that, but that's

221
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: not out yet.

222
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: That comes out Boxing day anyway.

223
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of I've never done too much of

224
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: the affiliate stuff, but I just like, like, if you

225
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,319

Speaker 2: you had for Karmic Juice and it's just my friend's company.

227
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: So I'm like, give me a code so that people

228
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: can get a discount, and I know it's kind of nice,

229
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: Like I know, I don't know about you.

230
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,760

279
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: present front this year. And I've really tried to think

280
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: of everyone and not miss anything, and just kiddos are

281
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: harder because like what, I'm not in the loop of

282
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: like what's cool for kids, and I want to be

283
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: that cool friend, you know, you know, so I've just

284
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: kind of been like learning. But I hope, I'm sure

285
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,240

286
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,240

288
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: Christmas is a tricky time for you, like I want

289
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: you to know I'm sending love and it can be hard.

290
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: And I've spent a few Christmas alone just from living

291
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: in like I've spent on Christmas in New York and

292
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: I was totally alone there. I thought I would make

293
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: friends and like be adopted for a Christmas Day and

294
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: it didn't happen. And then I had two in Sydney

295
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: where two hours on my own for the other's. Mum

296
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: came up one year and then Dad came up the

297
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: other year, so four Christmases or five Christmases in Sydney,

298
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: but there were two hours on my own for and

299
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: I ended up volunteering like one of the charities that

300
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: feeds homeless people, and I volunteered in the lead up

301
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: to Christmas where you're kind of like wrapping prosies and whatnot.

302
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: And then one year I emceed the entire thing, which

303
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: was like awesome but full on, and then like it

304
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: was like a full on m seeing job. And then

305
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: the year after I was in charge of like feeding

306
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: like so like literally taking meals to tables and that

307
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: kind of thing, and that was a carriage works and

308
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: sids both times.

309
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so Christmas can look different every year.

310
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: This year we were spending it with some fan like

311
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: Dad's coming up with Chet the Dog. But we're also

312
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: like having our cream boy lunch with a few friends,

313
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: so we'll have a bit of a bigger gang. So

314
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a mixed bag this Crimbo. And

315
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: we've obviously been in Melbourne having Christmas celebrations, so we've

316
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: just had a bit of a he goody piggoty but

317
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: so fun Chrissy, and so I'm just enjoying it all

318
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: and I'm really looking forward to New Year's Eve at Harvest.

319
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: I think that'll be a lot of fun too. So

320
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: that's me, Gang, that's me and I. As far as

321
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: books to review, I do have to review for you

322
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: at doctor Geena Cleo's book, but because her book's not

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: on sale until January, I just want to hold that

324
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: review until you can literally go and get the book.

325
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 2: I think it comes out literally early early early jan

326
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: And then I've interviewed Luke McLeod, whose book I think

327
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: it's called Everyday Enlightenment that comes out on the twenty

328
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: seventh of December, so I can review that for you

329
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: next week. No probos, so that'll be easy. So I

330
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: have some book reviews coming up. And that book that

331
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: everybody was going mental for wild for Should I say

332
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: that fantasy book is at iron Wing? Is that what

333
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: it's called Iron Wing or iron Yeah?

334
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Here we go. I got it iron Flame.

335
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 2: So there's a book that everyone's been going bananas for

336
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: because it's like fantasy Dragons but also a bit like

337
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: Sexy Times.

338
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: It's by Rebecca Yaros. I hope I'm saying that correctly.

339
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: And the first book of the there's a second book

340
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: that's come out recently, but the first books called Iron Flame.

341
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: My friend gior Dinah's lent that to me, so I'm

342
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: going to read that over the Christmas holidays. That's my

343
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: book that I'm like so excited to get into. I've

344
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: also got to interview some authors early Jens, so I've

345
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: got to make sure I get those books read as well.

346
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: But I think I'm going to do tandem reading, Like

347
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to read fiction. The Iron Flame one is

348
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: my fiction escapism, you know, like chill holiday mode one,

349
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: and then I'm going to read my non fiction one's

350
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: prepping for interviews and just have them going at any

351
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: one time.

352
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: That's my plan anyway. Yeah, that's me, that's me Gang.

353
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: I'm feeling it's kind of excited for a little bit anxious,

354
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: just because there's obviously a lot to do, but also

355
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: like super chill and just taking it a data time.

356
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: I notice if I think too far ahead, especially with social.

357
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: Things, I get a bit overwhelmed.

358
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: But if I'm just like, eh, just take it a

359
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: day to time, it doesn't feel too overwhelming. And then

360
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: I can get more shit done in the day without

361
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: wasting thoughts on overthinking or worrying about what's to come.

362
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I've noticed has been really helpful

363
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: for me, just be like, okay, data time, and I

364
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 2: notice if I make a list the night before for

365
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: the following day, that's helping me feel karma as well.

366
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 2: While there is so much like social things and also

367
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 2: like still wanting to work throughout this time and get

368
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: things done, whether it's influencing work or the pod or

369
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: things like that. So if that helps you at all,

370
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: a list in there, like like when your workday finishes

371
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 2: like five six o'clock for the following day helps me

372
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: switch off at nighttime and just hang with Bossachenko. We're

373
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: still loving went Worth and watching that were nearly done.

374
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: I think we'll finish it in the next few days

375
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: and then I can I can kind of like switch

376
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: off and enjoy it with him. And then in the

377
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: morning when I have my coffee, I go over my

378
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: least and I'm like, oh, I've got a.

379
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: Plan for the day. It's quite handy.

380
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: Anyway, my gangles, it is lovely to speak to you.

381
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: Like I said, you will have episodes three episodes a week,

382
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: dropping throughout this entire holiday period. So this diary episode, technically,

383
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: I guess is a bit of a Crimbo diary episode.

384
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: But then you've got your Monday episode on Christmas Day

385
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: is a Crimbo special that I've recorded with the Boss

386
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: and it's fun, like it actually gives you fun talk

387
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: points for the Crimbo table, so it's designed to be

388
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: a Christmas Morning release. And then you'll have a hot

389
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: seat drop on Wednesday, and then you have no idea

390
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: who with no idea, I might even see if Bosso

391
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: can do a Crimbo hot seat with me, so we've

392
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: got we stick with the Crimbo theme. And then you'll

393
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: have your regular Friday Diary will come out next Friday,

394
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 2: which will be like I think the twenty ninth or something,

395
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: so I'll be able to tell you all about Crimbo

396
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: and everything that.

397
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Has gone on there.

398
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: And then then you've got the first jan that is
