1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Today's podcast is a little different to normal. Usually on

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: a Thursday it would be a doctor's desk conversation where

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: we unpack the latest science. Today we're going to unpack

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: something else it arrived in the mail. Today is an

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: unboxing and unboxing on the Happy Families Podcast. You won't

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: be able to see it, but you will be able

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: to hear it, and we think it might be one

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: of the most important boxes we've ever unpacked. Hello, Welcome

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: to the Happy Families Podcast, Real Parenting Solutions every Day.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: This is Australia's most downloaded parenting podcast. We are Justin

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: and Kylie Colson. I'm not going to even pretend that

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: this is nothing other than a pure sales pitch today,

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: but it has nothing to do with us. We have

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: a platform, being Australia's most downloaded parenting podcast, where we

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: can tell you about things that matter, things that can

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: change lives. And Kylie, we've been through something that has

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: been life changing, which is why I now do some

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: of the work that I do, specifically with a group

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: called Gotcha for Life.

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: November six, twenty twenty three literally rocked our worlds as

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: we were awoken to the news that Justin's nephew had

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: taken his life, and as a result of that experience,

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: the conversations that we have with our children, the conversations

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: that we have with others has changed. It's different and

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: the opportunity that you have to work closely with Gotcha

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: for Life is an absolute reaction to that experience, but

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: one that we hope will actually make a difference in

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: lives of people all around.

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: The world such privileged to work with. Gus Wallen to

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: the team at Gotcha. For those of you who are

31
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: not familiar with Gotcha for Life, they're based out of Sydney,

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: but they do work up and down the East Coast

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: and across the nation wherever they can. The goal of

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Gotcha for Life is to bring suicide to zero in Australia.

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: Some people say that's ridiculous, you can't do it. Gus

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: is undeterred. Why because when you have been through it,

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: you just don't want anyone else to ever ever go

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: through it.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: The idea that we could bring that number to zero

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: feels extreme, It feels so far fetched, it feels so

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: unbelievably unachievable. And yet just the very fact that we

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: have that goal, that that there is somebody or a

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: group of people who are desirous to do that means

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: that a life will change as a result of this. Yep,

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: and one less life lost to suicide. It's worth it.

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: So let's get to the point of what today's podcast

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: is about. It's an unboxing. Got your Full Life have

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: a relationship with Chemist Warehouse. Chemist Warehouse as a chemist

49
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: have relationships with pharmaceutical and self care companies all over

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: the place. And each year, at this time of the year,

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: if you go into a chemist Warehouse, you will find

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: box with the Gotcha for Life logo on them, this

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Men's care box. In fact, let me have a look

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: at the box that I've got right here on my

55
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: lap because it just arrived in the post today. Gotcha

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: for Life Men's Care Box supporting men's mental health from

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Chemist Warehouse. You can buy it for twenty dollars and

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: all money raised from the sale of these boxes goes

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: to Gotcha for Life and doing the important work of

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: inspiring meaningful conversations about the importance of opening up and

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: sharing what's really going on. I love what Gus and

62
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Chemist Warehouse and Gotcha have done, and each year they

63
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: send me one so that I can tell people about it.

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: When I've got a platform this big, I'm going to

65
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: tell people about it. So Kylie, I'm going to dig

66
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: into the box. You can make any commentary about it,

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: because I might not know what all these self care

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: products do, because I don't care for myself that well

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to this sort of stuff I'm opening,

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I could probably groom better. Look at this. The first

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: thing I've pulled out is something from Swiss, the multivitamin company.

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: It's I don't know how to say it, luronic acid

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: skin glow. I'm going to get a glow up. It's

74
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: got vitamin C from Aceerole. It contributes to normal collagenformmation

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and healthy glowing skin in peach flavor that is in

76
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: the box. Each that in and of itself. Just to

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: highlight this is a twenty dollars gift box. This thing

78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: would cost you twenty dollars or more just for the

79
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: just for the glow up.

80
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: I was literally just going to look that up right

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: now because I know how expensive these are.

82
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Good luck spelling it as well as that. Oh look

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: that there's a sampler of you remember yup the toilet.

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Oh nice, I'm going to be smelling way nicer than

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: I normally do with the yup. I've got a Listerine

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Total Care ten and one. It's one hundred miles of listerine,

87
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: which means you can even take it on a plane

88
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: overseas and be allowed to use it. I'll look at this.

89
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: There is a Gillette skin guard razor, three steps to it,

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: all the great shaved stuff that's said. Holy smokes, I'm

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: not going to be able to fit this on the

92
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: desk here.

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: So I'm still stuck on your hydra.

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: I can't say it either. On the Ironic Yep.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: Acid skin glow. They retail for twenty three dollars, so

96
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: literally that one product gives you your money back.

97
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: You know how much it costs for a Gillette razor. Yeah, okay,

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: there's also, like I said, the listenerine, there is a

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I call it a shower puff that's probably not what they're.

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: Puff would be.

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Shower puff puff a men's exfoliating sponge. I got one

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: in last year's box and I'm still using it. It's

103
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: one of the best ones I've ever used. I'm just

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: saying it's a really good one. Spend forty nine dollars

105
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: there's a there's a Gotcha flyfe special. You can get

106

Speaker 1: thicker full of hair. You can get a discount with Nihox.

Speaker 1: And there's some twenty band aid strips. There's a Fuss

108
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Free Naturals Original Man Mask. This is a mask that

109
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: goes over your face. But it's beard friendly. Not that

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: I'll ever have a beard. You won't let me, you

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: won't kiss me if I have a beard. There's a

00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: skin control pimple patch. We've got some goat soap with

113
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: lemon myrtle. When I say goat soap.

114
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what I can smell. As soon as you

115
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: opened that box up, it was instant.

116
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mean the goat soap's there. There's there's

117

119
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: How do you have something less intensely relaxing that feels

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: a little bit too. There's also the dentist Formulated Fresh

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Breath oral rints from Thorough Breath. I think I've said

122
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: that right. I hope I got that right. There is

123
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: some freshwater farm Australia, Lemon Myrtle and Manica honey body bar.

124
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's the smell. Oh my goodness, it smells

125
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: lemon Myrtle. I could if I.

126
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: Just have to correct you if I die Manuka, Manuka?

127
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,159

132
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: going to check that all back into the box. Now,

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: twenty bucks for the whole thing. I mean, I don't

134
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: know one hundred dollars worth of gear in there for

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. I mean it's great because you get a bargain,

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: but I think the main thing is it actually makes

137
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: a difference in the lives of people who who need it.

138
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: I want, so I spend my twenty dollars to get

00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: that need to know that they're love.

157
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have. Actually, as we've been talking, I'm literally

158
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: making a list thinking about people in our lives that

159
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: could really do with knowing that somebody's looking out for them.

160
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll sell out. So when you listen to the pod,

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: get down to chemist ware House straight away. If you've

162
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: listened to the entire thing, thanks so much. I know

163
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it's a little bit I don't know, and you can't

164
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: see what we're doing. And I've just rattled off a

165
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: big list of all this cool stuff that I've been

166
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: surprised by as I've opened up the box. We're going

167
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: to wrap it up there. Just a huge plug for

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: the team at Gotcha. Check out their Mental Fitness Gym

169
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: online and have a conversation with someone. Just check in,

170
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: ask them if they're doing all right, tell them what

171
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: you're noticing. If things aren't quite right, let them know

172
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: that you're there. And if you're having a hard time,

173
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: seek support. The conversations matter, and new matter, and the

174
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: people around you matter. We've got to do so much

175
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: better at helping so that we can get this to zero.

176
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Just as we wrap things up, I was thinking about

177
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: an experience I had the other day on the bike.

178
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: You and I ride our pushies first thing in the morning.

179
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: It's pitch black, Yeah, it is a moment.

180
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: And the other day, as we were riding, I watched

181
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: this bike coming towards me, but all I could see

182
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: was a headlight. I knew that it was a bike.

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't see anyone or anything.

184
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: On the stands side of the roads.

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could just see his headlight. It wasn't until

186
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: we were literally parallel with each other that I realized

187
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: not only was it a bike, but there was a

188
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: guy sitting on that seat, peddling furiously underneath that light.

189
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: And when I think about this experience, so often we

190
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: see the light that's a life, right. We see somebody

191
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: going about their day to day. We have no idea

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: what they're experiencing or how hard they're peddling to stay afloat.

193
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: And what Gotcha for Life does is just gives us

194
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be mindful of the people around us

195
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: and let them know that they're seeing that they're loved

196
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: and they're valued.

197
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, They might look like they're just cruising along,

198
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: but when you get up close, sometimes you can see

199
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: a very different picture. And it's worth asking the questions

200
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: and doing the investigations. Got You for Life Men's care

205
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,720
