10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: there in person because Australia is one of my favorite

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: places in the world, and I really I fell in

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: love with it when I went years ago, and I've

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: been quite a few times since then. I just I

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: send you so much love. Well you spent that.

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 2: You spend a chunk of time here, like seven months

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: or something when you were filming, won't you.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: I spent, Yeah, but I spent more than that. I

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 1: loved it so much. I came back and then I

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: traveled to you know, I went to Oolarou, which was

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: really one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Douglas.

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: I swam the Great Bearer Reed, which was, oh my god,

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: that was amazing. And then of course, I you know,

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: I went to Melbourne. I filmed in Melbourne, and I thought, well,

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: this is it. This is my city. I loved it

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: so much. I made amazing friends there. And then then

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: I went to Sydney and I was like, oh, this

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: is good. I realized that. I realized that in a

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: perfect world, I'd fall asleep in Melbourne and I'd wake

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: up in Sydney. Yeah, that's what I came.

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good thing. I was writing some stats

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: about the percentage of Americans that have worked at McDonald's

32
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: twelve point five percent, So that means that forty four

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: point four million Americans have worked at McDonald's in their life.

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean I don't know that that's true. I'm

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: just saying yes.

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't make it out.

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: It sounds right, it sounds right. No, my sister actually

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: worked at McDonalds when I was growing up. She's my

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: older sister, and that was just the coolest. It was

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: during it was in the eighties, and she'd come home.

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I remember her like dark blue, like polyester suit, and

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I thought she was the coolest. And my man, Ryan

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling, his sister worked at McDonald's as well, so

45
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about that a little bit about that

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: and just cool older sister stuff. I've never worked at

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: a McDonald's. I've worked at many other places, but not

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: a McDonald's. But there's still there's still time, it's still done. Well.

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: Look, I'm sure you get asked to do a lot

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: of work for a lot of charities. What was it

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: about McHappy Day and Ronald McDonald's house that spoke to you.

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for asking, Amanda, because this is really

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: something that is so dear to my heart. My cousin,

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: her baby, when he was just about one, was diagnosed

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: with noah blastoma, and she relocated from California to New York.

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: And when she went there, I was it was at

57
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: a time, it was like five years ago when I

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: was pregnant and I was becoming a mother for the

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: first time, and I thought, what what can I do?

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: I'll do anything. Can we get you an apartment, Can

61
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: we get you close to the hospital, Can we get

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: you a food delivery service? And she said, no, ev

63
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually really happy here. I'm at the Ronald McDonald house,

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is a real home away

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: from home. I feel such a support. This is an

66
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: amazing support system here, there's amazing programs. And that really

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: stayed with me because obviously I've heard about Ronald McDonald's

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: house charities before, but I never actually had a personal

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: experience or connection to it. And I thought, wow, to

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: turn down like really anything we were willing to do

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: because she was she felt so comfortable there really meant

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: the world. And by the way, little Andrew is almost

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: he's about seven now and he's doing great. But really

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: I just thought wow. So when the opportunity came up,

75
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I love this charity. I can

76
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: vouch for this organization. I can really feel good about

77
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: telling people to please dig deep and donate, and I

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: just want to make sure people know that right now

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you can donate by buying a pair of silly thoughts

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: or helping hands at your local maccas like that Mac

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: you're not And on November fourteen, the un actual mccappy Day,

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: every two dollars from a big Mac goes to the charity.

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: So I know it's a challenging year for everybody, but

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: that's why we need help for this initiative even more so.

85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: And your kids a six and four, So you're at

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: that stage of Lass where they're out of nappies, but

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: they go into that. They got a little crazy in

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: the hast the six and four year olds.

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: They're insane. They're insane and well there do you know

90
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the show Bluie? Yes, I didn't know it was an

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Australian show until the other day, Like I didn't well,

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: I mean I knew, but I didn't really make the connection.

93
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: So they're obsessed with Louie and they get like you know,

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: Blue and Bingo. They're always messing with their parents and stuff.

95
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: So it was so funny. I had a you know,

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: I was working yesterday and when I got home, I

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: asked Ryan. They were just going crazy and I asked

98
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: Ryan did they watch Blue? And he lost me goes

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot. It's like you can always tell when they

100
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: watch Blue because they just get a little extra nuts

101
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: and they like to, you know, do the frozen statue

102
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: and scare us.

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: You hilariously said that you and Ryan feel like you're

104
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: running up some kind of bed and breakfast for drunk

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: and aggressive guests.

106
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: And the absolutely I feel like we're like, well, first

107
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: of all, we clean up after them all day. Oh no, right,

108
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: because it's because it's just easier that way, because you

109
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: have less of a workload or you know, a laundryload

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: or kit the dishes. It's less at night if you're

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: after them all day. That's my theory anyway.

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: And you know you're probably thinking, oh, they'll grow out

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: of it, but they don't. My daughter, who's twenty three,

114
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: the other day, I make dinner and someone called me

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 3: as I was making dinner, so dinner was pushed back

116
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: by about twenty minutes. So she said, what, dinner's not ready?

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: And I said, well, you know, someone was on the

118
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: phone and said, well, maybe you should organize your time better.

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, no, oh my gosh, maybe you should organize

120
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: your time better than incredible.

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: Maybe you should organize your time better. Welliver, it's so

122
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: nice to talk to you and support you. Show your

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: support your local macas or donate online. Now it's just

124
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: great to catch up.

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you so much, and thank you Amanda. Everyone

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: thinks my daughter's name is Amanda, so we're I might

127
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: actually officially change it because they were like, her name's Amada,

128
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: have no end and then yeah, so I say Amanda probably,

129
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680

Speaker 1: They corrected.

134
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, actually, you could have called it Jonesy.

135
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: That's more feminine. That's a feminine, feminine pology.

136
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: You know what that's Actually, before I picked up the phone,
