Yeah, 29 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: because for someone at her age, she obviously we had 30 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: to come up here, but she's never been to Adelaide before. Like, 31 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: it's all a really really big task for her. She's 32 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: actually in the middle of undergoing chemo as well, which 33 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: you're going to hear really shortly.

I wanted to 42 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: ask you, Jude about something we haven't really spoken about yet. 43 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: It's been referenced a few times, but I don't think 44 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: you're aware of the fact that mental health is a 45 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: really big part of our show. I get depressed pretty frequently. Yeah, 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: so I really wanted to talk to you a little 47 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: bit about that. And I know it's obviously a plague 48 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: in country communities, So I just wanted to talk to 49 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: you a little bit about you're here, You're right, mate, Yeah, 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: I just wanted to talk to you a little bit 51 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: about your experience with mental health and why it's why 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 2: it's precious to you talk.

It was 138 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: the quality of the connections that they made with other people. 139 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: And when you meet jud and you learn how frail 140 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: she is, but how she's still going, it all starts 141 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 2: to make sense because of how much she does for others. 142 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, despite the fact that she has one hundred beers 143 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: a day, she's going to live till three hundred.
