There is no 0:01:34.539 --> 0:01:36.979 person that's ever been to South Africa that would feel 0:01:36.979 --> 0:01:39.219 comfortable just being out there in the wilderness with the 0:01:39.259 --> 0:01:41.339 lions hanging out in a ten with. 0:01:41.378 --> 0:01:42.018 Like an arrow. 0:01:42.098 --> 0:01:43.658 Sorry, what's a bow and arrow going to do? 0:01:43.779 --> 0:01:47.018 Apparently though, so episode one has already dropped. The second 0:01:47.018 --> 0:01:50.739 episode dropped today like at lunchtime. But apparently in the 0:01:50.739 --> 0:01:53.258 first episode there was a woman who already. 0:01:52.859 --> 0:01:54.338 Caught a wart hog. 0:01:54.539 --> 0:01:57.259 Yeah, so she's just eaten bacon living large at the 0:01:57.299 --> 0:01:58.219 time of the last year. 0:01:58.579 --> 0:02:00.259 She caught it with like a bowl and arrow. They're 0:02:00.299 --> 0:02:03.459 actually crazy. I could not do it. I'd be day one. 0:02:03.539 --> 0:02:05.698 No, you'd be dead, but I'd be riding an elephant 0:02:05.699 --> 0:02:06.259 out of their day one. 0:02:06.299 --> 0:02:08.819 Brittany sitting up in a tree with a cheetah. That's 0:02:08.859 --> 0:02:10.739 the end of Brittany Brockley. Oh sorry, I think we 0:02:10.779 --> 0:02:11.539 were just hanging out with it. 0:02:11.579 --> 0:02:12.459 I was like, that sounds fun. 0:02:14.099 --> 0:02:15.539 Well, guys, you going to watch it the brand new 0:02:15.539 --> 0:02:18.379 season alone. It's available and exclusively on stan and the 0:02:18.418 --> 0:02:22.418 episodes are dropping every Friday one pm. Now we have 0:02:22.619 --> 0:02:25.219 the most amazing woman on the line and I'm calling 0:02:25.258 --> 0:02:25.578 it now. 0:02:25.698 --> 0:02:28.699 I'm saying next contender for Australia of the Year. I 0:02:28.819 --> 0:02:31.179 reckon too, absolutely and if not, we're going to submit 0:02:31.179 --> 0:02:32.019 at ourselves for her. 0:02:32.219 --> 0:02:32.379 Now. 0:02:32.379 --> 0:02:35.379 Her name is Brook Macintosh and Brook is halfway through 0:02:35.459 --> 0:02:39.579 running fourteen thousand kilometers solo around the entire country. That 0:02:39.698 --> 0:02:43.619 is two marathons a day, every single day, for one 0:02:43.698 --> 0:02:44.899 hundred and eighty days. 0:02:45.019 --> 0:02:46.059 Oh my god. 0:02:46.179 --> 0:02:49.579 Now it's either crazy or brilliant, or probably both because 0:02:49.819 --> 0:02:52.819 I can't even run a kilometer without stopping. 0:02:52.499 --> 0:02:54.219 So this is really something impressive. 0:02:54.258 --> 0:02:56.858 But also Brook is aiming to raise one point four 0:02:56.899 --> 0:02:59.939 million for suicide prevention through the Blue Tree Project, which 0:02:59.939 --> 0:03:02.019 she needs all of Australia to get behind her. I 0:03:02.059 --> 0:03:04.258 know that there's been a couple of male runners over 0:03:04.299 --> 0:03:06.538 the last year that have made it through the media 0:03:06.579 --> 0:03:09.379 and have been you know, people have spoke about the 0:03:10.258 --> 0:03:12.899 quite amazing feats that they've done in running, but I 0:03:12.939 --> 0:03:14.858 do think some of the things that Brook has had 0:03:14.859 --> 0:03:17.259 to face as a woman doing this across the country 0:03:17.418 --> 0:03:19.018 is something that is unfathomable. 0:03:19.379 --> 0:03:20.619 Brook, Welcome to the show. 0:03:21.379 --> 0:03:24.578 Yeah, it's a massive feat just wrapped up seven thousand 0:03:24.619 --> 0:03:27.019 kilometers and your ladies wouldn't believe it. But I've been 0:03:27.059 --> 0:03:29.139 doing a few detours and I've actually added an extra 0:03:29.179 --> 0:03:30.099 five hundred kilometers. 0:03:30.379 --> 0:03:36.619 But why yeah, No, it is truly incredible and I 0:03:36.619 --> 0:03:39.499 cannot fad them doing two marathons a day. I did 0:03:39.539 --> 0:03:41.619 one half marathon once and I just thought I deserved 0:03:41.659 --> 0:03:41.979 a medal. 0:03:42.019 --> 0:03:43.379 I was like, wow, this is incredible. 0:03:43.819 --> 0:03:46.419 Tell us why you're doing this, Like what happened in 0:03:46.419 --> 0:03:47.859 your life that you thought I'm just going to go 0:03:47.939 --> 0:03:50.539 run around Australia and raise millions of dollars. 0:03:51.619 --> 0:03:53.859 There is so much to unpack there. But in August 0:03:53.899 --> 0:03:56.099 twenty twenty two, I was going through the depths of 0:03:56.139 --> 0:04:00.019 suicidal ideation myself, and the week that I was actually 0:04:00.219 --> 0:04:02.458 wanting to take my own life, I was actually involved 0:04:02.459 --> 0:04:04.499 in a massive high speed car accident and it was 0:04:05.019 --> 0:04:07.299 through the healing and the recovery of that process that 0:04:07.339 --> 0:04:09.579 I realized that I didn't want to die. I just 0:04:09.579 --> 0:04:12.379 wanted my internal pain to end. Had me on a 0:04:12.419 --> 0:04:14.899 path of having just one more conversation, and I was 0:04:14.899 --> 0:04:16.499 working five all at the time. So I went back 0:04:16.739 --> 0:04:19.339 to site and I opened up about my mental struggles 0:04:19.339 --> 0:04:21.498 with the guys on site and it was actually a 0:04:21.499 --> 0:04:24.259 permission slit for them to start having more conversations. And 0:04:24.339 --> 0:04:27.659 by me doing that, I received so many thanks and 0:04:27.739 --> 0:04:32.299 gratitudes for opening up. And in August twenty twenty three, 0:04:32.339 --> 0:04:35.099 I ran sixteen hundred kilometers top of Wa to bottom 0:04:35.099 --> 0:04:37.739 of Wa to raise awareness of mental health. And when 0:04:37.739 --> 0:04:39.459 I finished, I was like, oh am I stopping here. 0:04:39.499 --> 0:04:41.819 There's still so much more of Australia that need to 0:04:41.819 --> 0:04:46.099 hear this message. So now I talk the Queens lamb Brooka. 0:04:45.859 --> 0:04:50.059 You're incredible, honestly, I mean, I can only imagine how 0:04:50.299 --> 0:04:52.699 taxing this has been on your body. How are you 0:04:52.739 --> 0:04:54.779 feeling at the moment, and what's been the effects on 0:04:54.819 --> 0:04:55.579 your body so far? 0:04:56.419 --> 0:04:58.819 The first four weeks of this run was pretty horrendous, 0:04:58.819 --> 0:05:01.579 Like my body was just adjusting to what was happening. 0:05:01.979 --> 0:05:04.619 But now my body's pretty adjusted. I don't feel too 0:05:04.699 --> 0:05:08.299 many aches and pains, at the moment. But I'm also 0:05:08.899 --> 0:05:11.539 something else that we experience out here is our pms 0:05:11.539 --> 0:05:14.899 and our periods and all that. So I'm always battling that, 0:05:15.059 --> 0:05:17.339 not battling that, but that is a massive challenge every 0:05:17.379 --> 0:05:19.459 single month. On like the week leading up to that, 0:05:19.499 --> 0:05:20.819 I'm like, all right, cool, you've got to tap her 0:05:20.819 --> 0:05:22.459 a little bit and then you can go full again 0:05:22.539 --> 0:05:24.659 for three and a half weeks. Yes, that's been a 0:05:24.739 --> 0:05:25.419 huge adjustment. 0:05:25.579 --> 0:05:27.459 But also, like you know, you think there's been like 0:05:27.459 --> 0:05:29.499 people that ned Broklyn that people have been talking about 0:05:29.579 --> 0:05:32.739 who have done big runs and stuff. There's other factors 0:05:32.819 --> 0:05:34.539 that they don't have to think about, and that's a 0:05:34.579 --> 0:05:36.819 safety element. Like being a woman being out there running 0:05:36.819 --> 0:05:40.379 around Australia, there is so much more risk involved. How 0:05:40.459 --> 0:05:42.139 are you keeping yourself safe on this run? 0:05:43.579 --> 0:05:47.019 Yeah, So we do our run in smaller blocks, so 0:05:47.819 --> 0:05:50.219 I would run ten kilometers and then the caravan would 0:05:50.259 --> 0:05:52.419 be there quickly checking refuel of anything, and then I 0:05:52.419 --> 0:05:55.499 would run ten kilometers. I also carry like a safety 0:05:55.539 --> 0:05:58.979 SOS device on me and a two way radio as well, 0:05:59.099 --> 0:06:01.539 especially in the parts where we have nor reception, just 0:06:01.579 --> 0:06:03.379 so I know I can always get a hold of 0:06:03.419 --> 0:06:04.779 the guys. 0:06:04.739 --> 0:06:06.739 What do you want people to know? 0:06:06.939 --> 0:06:09.339 Like, now, you've got so many people listening to you, 0:06:09.339 --> 0:06:11.139 You've got so many people following your journey, and I 0:06:11.139 --> 0:06:13.899 hope these conversations you know more people are following your journey. 0:06:14.019 --> 0:06:15.379 What do you want to say to people that might 0:06:15.379 --> 0:06:17.179 be feeling what you were feeling a few years ago? 0:06:18.019 --> 0:06:21.339 My biggest message is there's two parts. It's one to 0:06:21.459 --> 0:06:23.979 have just one more conversation and it's to speak up. 0:06:24.339 --> 0:06:26.139 But before we do that, we need to build the 0:06:26.139 --> 0:06:28.179 courage inside of ourselves to be able to do that. 0:06:28.619 --> 0:06:31.699 So my biggest message is to have courage to have 0:06:31.859 --> 0:06:34.219 just one more conversation, And on the flip side of 0:06:34.259 --> 0:06:37.819 that is to have courage to call out BS behavior 0:06:38.379 --> 0:06:41.059 because I believe it's the best behavior that happens in 0:06:41.099 --> 0:06:45.019 society that sends people down the society. About this spiral 0:06:45.139 --> 0:06:49.939 of suicidal ideation depression anxiety PTSD. 0:06:49.219 --> 0:06:50.859 I mean you've said it here in your mantrad just 0:06:50.899 --> 0:06:53.379 one more breath, just one more day, and just one 0:06:53.379 --> 0:06:56.579 more conversation, Brook, How can people get behind you because 0:06:56.579 --> 0:06:58.979 there's so many Australians listening right now and what you're 0:06:58.979 --> 0:07:02.459 doing is absolutely phenomenal. How can we all help you 0:07:02.739 --> 0:07:04.139 get behind you and raise more money. 0:07:04.979 --> 0:07:07.579 It's sharing the message, sharing the cause and donating to 0:07:07.619 --> 0:07:10.499 the cause. By googling just One more Brook, you'll be 0:07:10.499 --> 0:07:12.979 able to find our donations link. And also we've been 0:07:13.059 --> 0:07:15.819 really encouraging people to hold their own fundraisers in their 0:07:15.859 --> 0:07:19.499 own communities and then donating the funds raised directly to 0:07:19.539 --> 0:07:19.899 the course. 0:07:20.219 --> 0:07:22.619 Can people follow where you're at in your journey? How 0:07:22.659 --> 0:07:24.939 can people you know specifically if you're coming through a 0:07:24.939 --> 0:07:26.739 town that might be near them, or you're in an 0:07:26.779 --> 0:07:28.019 area around Australia. 0:07:28.059 --> 0:07:29.419 How can people see where you're at? 0:07:30.339 --> 0:07:32.259 Yeah? I love runners coming out to run with me. 0:07:32.379 --> 0:07:36.019 That keeps me going and it's such a forest gump 0:07:36.059 --> 0:07:38.379 moment whenever that happens. So we post all the time 0:07:38.419 --> 0:07:40.739 on our Instagram. Instagram's the main one that we're on. 0:07:41.539 --> 0:07:44.059 Inside our channel, we post the towns that were coming 0:07:44.099 --> 0:07:46.699 through that day. But we've done a huge part of 0:07:46.739 --> 0:07:49.539 Australia right now.

Hey, Laura, I got an update from 0:08:20.659 --> 0:08:23.739 a friend today about something that happened that I realized 0:08:23.859 --> 0:08:25.259 I never told you about. 0:08:25.339 --> 0:08:29.059 But it's so funny. So I recently got married nearly. 0:08:28.859 --> 0:08:31.739 Two weeks ago now, but the week before that, my 0:08:31.859 --> 0:08:35.139 husband Ben and I were over seas in Italy at 0:08:35.219 --> 0:08:36.699 his best friend's wedding. 0:08:36.859 --> 0:08:39.739 I did see this. You're wearing a red dress the internet. Well, 0:08:39.859 --> 0:08:41.499 Deli Mail had a real field day with it. 0:08:41.779 --> 0:08:43.779 Oh actually I didn't tell you that part too. 0:08:44.299 --> 0:08:46.659 I wore a bright red dress right, it's a Tuscan 0:08:47.019 --> 0:08:47.819 summary wedding. 0:08:47.859 --> 0:08:48.579 Beautiful. 0:08:49.219 --> 0:08:52.259 You can wear red dresses to weddings, but apparently you 0:08:52.299 --> 0:08:54.659 can't wear them to certain European weddings. 0:08:54.819 --> 0:08:56.779 I did not know this, But when you wear a red. 0:08:56.739 --> 0:09:00.219 Dress to certain countries in Europe's wedding, it's a statement 0:09:00.259 --> 0:09:03.499 of saying that you've slept with the groom I need 0:09:03.539 --> 0:09:03.859 is it? 0:09:04.059 --> 0:09:04.739 Yup?

No, they told me that after 0:09:08.219 --> 0:09:09.579 the and I was mortified. 0:09:09.619 --> 0:09:12.379 I was like, I just like flurried around that wedding 0:09:12.419 --> 0:09:14.899 in my red dress everyone there because they're all European. 0:09:15.379 --> 0:09:17.739 So was that in the area that the wedding was? 0:09:17.739 --> 0:09:19.379 Was it? I don't know, I see like you said 0:09:19.419 --> 0:09:20.978 to certain parts of Europe. 0:09:20.619 --> 0:09:23.259 Like well, I asked the bride recently. I went back 0:09:23.259 --> 0:09:24.739 to her and I just double checked. I said, look, 0:09:24.739 --> 0:09:26.499 do I need to clear something up? I have not 0:09:26.579 --> 0:09:29.578 slept with your husband and I and she's like no, 0:09:29.699 --> 0:09:31.419 that's like an old thing for different places. 0:09:31.459 --> 0:09:33.619 So that was fine, that's not even the stories. 0:09:33.739 --> 0:09:34.059 Sorry. 0:09:34.139 --> 0:09:38.939 So at their wedding, they've had their wedding rings for 0:09:39.299 --> 0:09:41.139 like eighteen months to two years. 0:09:41.179 --> 0:09:42.979 They've been engaged for quite a while. 0:09:43.819 --> 0:09:46.578 The husband has gone to get his rings and get 0:09:46.579 --> 0:09:49.099 everything ready for the day, and he realized he had 0:09:49.139 --> 0:09:52.019 put them on the bedside table the night before, went 0:09:52.099 --> 0:09:55.019 back to find them gone, absolutely gone. 0:09:55.099 --> 0:09:55.979 This wedding ring. 0:09:55.779 --> 0:09:58.219 That he's getting married in like eight to twelve hours. 0:09:58.699 --> 0:10:01.019 He's had it for two years missing. So he goes 0:10:01.059 --> 0:10:03.578 and finds his future wife and he's like, hey, did 0:10:03.579 --> 0:10:06.179 you clean up? Did you move anything? She's like absolutely not. 0:10:06.459 --> 0:10:07.179 What are you missing? 0:10:07.779 --> 0:10:09.659 He had to tell her that. He's like, well, my 0:10:09.739 --> 0:10:10.299 wedding ring. 0:10:10.739 --> 0:10:12.499 So they go to their son, their two year old son, 0:10:12.699 --> 0:10:14.939 and they're like, where. 0:10:14.699 --> 0:10:15.578 Did you put it? 0:10:15.659 --> 0:10:16.179 Did you you know? 0:10:16.259 --> 0:10:19.459 He's too did you take something here? It's golden shiny, Like, 0:10:19.459 --> 0:10:22.219 where did you take it? He's just laughing running away. Anyway, 0:10:22.219 --> 0:10:24.859 They've searched the house. They had every person there that 0:10:24.939 --> 0:10:28.739 was working there. Everyone like turned it upside down. 0:10:28.899 --> 0:10:32.339 I think most parents are gonna obviously not wedding ring related, 0:10:32.379 --> 0:10:34.459 but your kids take things and you lose it all 0:10:34.499 --> 0:10:34.859 the time. 0:10:35.019 --> 0:10:35.819 Yeah, keys in. 0:10:35.859 --> 0:10:40.139 Bins, keys in toilets, yeap rings in gardens like kids 0:10:40.179 --> 0:10:40.619 just there. 0:10:40.699 --> 0:10:41.859 Yeah, don't leave it lying around. 0:10:41.979 --> 0:10:44.619 He's blamed his son, right, like he's deflected to blame. 0:10:44.659 --> 0:10:46.299 He's a two year old son, nothing to do with me, 0:10:46.459 --> 0:10:48.299 Like he should know better, so. 0:10:48.299 --> 0:10:49.539 He should not know where he's too. 0:10:49.699 --> 0:10:52.699 The wedding goes ahead and he has to get married 0:10:52.859 --> 0:10:55.859 with like a sports ring, like a like a whoop thing. 0:10:55.899 --> 0:10:57.179 You don't have the whoop ring? Has it? 0:10:57.419 --> 0:11:00.179 Just like so it's just this big thick not that 0:11:00.259 --> 0:11:01.699 great looking gold. 0:11:02.019 --> 0:11:03.899 You're not taking wedding photos of that. Yeah. 0:11:03.899 --> 0:11:06.259 Anyway, we laughed, we laughed, we laughed. 0:11:06.299 --> 0:11:08.419 He got into big trouble with his partner that you know, 0:11:08.539 --> 0:11:11.339 he's blamed his son. Anyway, flash forward a week later 0:11:11.659 --> 0:11:15.299 to our wedding. He still is wearing his ring, that's 0:11:15.339 --> 0:11:18.019 the sports ring. Anyway, he puts his hand in his pocket. 0:11:18.579 --> 0:11:20.339 What do you think he finds his pocket. 0:11:20.779 --> 0:11:24.939 No, because he was wearing the same suit that he 0:11:25.019 --> 0:11:26.299 wears suit pants. 0:11:26.339 --> 0:11:28.499 I don't know what it was in his pocket. 0:11:28.539 --> 0:11:30.619 He had it in his own pocket the entire time, 0:11:30.699 --> 0:11:34.499 gets married with like a gold sports band blames. 0:11:33.899 --> 0:11:36.579 You're so mad at your husband. You'd be like, you 0:11:36.619 --> 0:11:38.899 had one thing to do and you manage to lose 0:11:38.939 --> 0:11:40.619 the ring, and then you blame the two years off, 0:11:40.659 --> 0:11:43.139 But then it was on your being the whole time. 0:11:43.219 --> 0:11:45.659 I feel like the model in this is that, I mean, firstly, 0:11:45.739 --> 0:11:48.259 he's the liability, but you can get away with blaming 0:11:48.299 --> 0:11:50.659 things on your kids for a while. We're at a 0:11:50.699 --> 0:11:53.739 phase at the moment, so Lola thinks farts are really funny. 0:11:53.739 --> 0:11:56.259 Lola's four. She thinks farts are hilarious. 0:11:56.699 --> 0:11:58.499 So if anyone has farted, all you have to say 0:11:58.539 --> 0:12:00.059 is that Lola did it, and she'll go, yeah, it did, 0:12:00.379 --> 0:12:02.819 and then she takes it. She loves it, she'll claim it. 0:12:02.859 --> 0:12:04.499 Then you're off. Scott Free's so we do it in 0:12:04.499 --> 0:12:07.059 our household to bring her over to my house. I'll 0:12:07.179 --> 0:12:07.379 use it. 0:12:08.819 --> 0:12:11.578 We've been on a real discovery journey today. We've learned 0:12:11.579 --> 0:12:13.859 a few things about each other in this team. So 0:12:13.859 --> 0:12:17.179 there's a New Zealand show that was talking about the 0:12:17.259 --> 0:12:19.379 concept of how you read books. 0:12:19.419 --> 0:12:20.659 So hear me out. 0:12:20.979 --> 0:12:23.739 When you read a book in your head like you're 0:12:23.779 --> 0:12:25.019 you know, you sit down at the end of your 0:12:25.099 --> 0:12:27.659 day and you have your favorite book and you're reading 0:12:27.659 --> 0:12:31.819 through the dialogue between different characters. Do you voice those 0:12:31.939 --> 0:12:34.619 characters in different ways or do you just read a 0:12:34.659 --> 0:12:36.459 book like you're reading a normal piece of paper. 0:12:37.099 --> 0:12:37.979 Have a listen to this. 0:12:38.619 --> 0:12:41.779 My husband Aunt and I were lying in bed reading 0:12:41.779 --> 0:12:45.179 our books and I said to Art, oh, this book 0:12:45.259 --> 0:12:48.859 is taking me ages because it's set in Scotland. And 0:12:49.099 --> 0:12:52.939 Art was like sorry, and I was like, oh, well, 0:12:53.139 --> 0:12:56.659 it's tricky for me to do a Scottish accent, and 0:12:56.779 --> 0:13:01.659 I didn't realize that that is perhaps an abnormal. 0:13:01.099 --> 0:13:01.819 Thing to do. 0:13:02.059 --> 0:13:05.619 So when I'm reading, I'm doing the voices in my 0:13:05.739 --> 0:13:07.379 head and the accents. 0:13:07.619 --> 0:13:09.979 It's like a narrat Okay. 0:13:09.699 --> 0:13:13.099 So we discovered that our very own Brittany Hockley also 0:13:13.259 --> 0:13:16.419 does the same thing, which is just utterly insane, not weird. 0:13:16.739 --> 0:13:19.819 It's not weird, mind you, mine's exactly. 0:13:20.299 --> 0:13:20.419 So. 0:13:20.659 --> 0:13:23.578 My favorite book series ever, there's six books in the series, is. 0:13:23.499 --> 0:13:25.419 Called Outlander by Diana Givalden. 0:13:25.699 --> 0:13:27.619 It's been mental TV show, but it is set in 0:13:27.619 --> 0:13:28.739 the Scottish Highlands. 0:13:29.459 --> 0:13:31.779 It took me years to read those books, mainly because 0:13:31.779 --> 0:13:33.459 there's a the six thick books. 0:13:33.539 --> 0:13:37.219 B it's Scottish, you have to do the Scottish accent. 0:13:37.099 --> 0:13:39.619 In the Scottish or is it in English? But therefore, 0:13:40.019 --> 0:13:41.099 because it's not, it's. 0:13:40.939 --> 0:13:43.219 Set in Scotland, and it's a lot of it's set 0:13:43.219 --> 0:13:45.539 in what they call the Gaelic, which is like the 0:13:45.619 --> 0:13:47.499 language back in Scotland. And a lot of it is 0:13:47.539 --> 0:13:49.499 written because it's set in the seventeen hundred, so a 0:13:49.499 --> 0:13:51.579 lot of it's written in different kind of English, like 0:13:51.579 --> 0:13:54.699 a really old school English, and I read it in 0:13:54.739 --> 0:13:56.659 my head how it is set and how it would 0:13:56.699 --> 0:13:57.019 be like. 0:13:56.979 --> 0:14:00.699 Oh, lass, I read it like that. I do. That's 0:14:00.699 --> 0:14:01.179 what I do. 0:14:01.499 --> 0:14:05.578 Okay, but we little. But that's a very specific example. 0:14:05.619 --> 0:14:08.259 What if you're just reading, like a romance novel that's got, 0:14:08.299 --> 0:14:09.579 you know, a guy and a girl in it. Do 0:14:09.619 --> 0:14:12.659 you read like as in your head, does the male 0:14:12.739 --> 0:14:15.659 voice have a male sound and the female voice isn't it? 0:14:15.819 --> 0:14:15.859 Like? 0:14:15.939 --> 0:14:17.098 Do you create characters? 0:14:17.219 --> 0:14:20.739 I think I'm more more so than male female. I'm 0:14:20.779 --> 0:14:22.899 more accents. So if someone has a French accent, I'm 0:14:22.939 --> 0:14:24.659 doing that in my head like I'm you want to 0:14:24.699 --> 0:14:28.499 gossolt like whatever, I do it like who? I don't know, 0:14:28.619 --> 0:14:30.379 but that's how. That's how my brain works. 0:14:30.499 --> 0:14:32.899 I just read it like I'm reading any piece of 0:14:32.939 --> 0:14:35.859 paper boy nothing, it makes no difference. 0:14:35.899 --> 0:14:36.779 I'm just efficiency. 0:14:36.819 --> 0:14:38.179 I'm in there, I'm out like, I know it's the 0:14:38.179 --> 0:14:40.179 guy speaking, I know it's the girls. My brain doesn't 0:14:40.219 --> 0:14:42.019 need the character rehearsal. 0:14:42.099 --> 0:14:45.099 You need to read for the imagination where it transports you, 0:14:45.099 --> 0:14:46.819 where it takes you. You want to have all your senses. 0:14:46.819 --> 0:14:49.059 You don't want to read like you're reading a dictionary. 0:14:49.179 --> 0:14:50.579 Well, this is like this is the other thing. 0:14:50.619 --> 0:14:53.299 This debate or like question came up quite a few 0:14:53.299 --> 0:14:56.339 weeks ago. But do you have an internal monologue? Was 0:14:56.339 --> 0:14:58.739 the other one. So you know, I think a lot 0:14:58.779 --> 0:15:01.299 of people, as they're just getting about their day, they 0:15:01.299 --> 0:15:03.619 have a little voice inside their head, not a crazy one, 0:15:03.739 --> 0:15:05.659 just like the you know, the little voice that you 0:15:05.659 --> 0:15:07.819 hear that tells you what to do and talks to 0:15:07.859 --> 0:15:11.019 you as you're doing stuff. And mine is always talking 0:15:11.059 --> 0:15:13.299 to me. And then there are some people out there, 0:15:13.819 --> 0:15:16.779 a percentage of the population that just hears nothing. 0:15:16.979 --> 0:15:20.339 That's me. I don't believe your brain. 0:15:20.459 --> 0:15:22.699 I don't talk in my head much at all. 0:15:22.859 --> 0:15:23.299 Like I don't. 0:15:23.339 --> 0:15:25.459 I don't really have an internal monologue. I don't talk 0:15:25.499 --> 0:15:27.299 things through it. I don't really have a filter. But 0:15:27.539 --> 0:15:30.859 my husband Ben, we have quite a few arguments about 0:15:30.859 --> 0:15:34.299 the same thing, and that is him telling me he's 0:15:34.339 --> 0:15:36.579 told me something before, and we've we've broken it down 0:15:36.579 --> 0:15:39.619 a couple of days ago. Actually, he said, I say 0:15:39.699 --> 0:15:41.819 things in my head so many times, and that I've 0:15:41.859 --> 0:15:43.939 convinced I've said it out loud to you. And it's 0:15:44.019 --> 0:15:47.299 not until I've said I will put my life on this. 0:15:47.379 --> 0:15:49.659 You haven't told me that that he realizes he's only 0:15:49.699 --> 0:15:50.699 said it in his brain. 0:15:50.859 --> 0:15:52.939 I'm sitting here with my mouth open because he is 0:15:52.979 --> 0:15:55.059 actually shocking to me that people don't just talk in 0:15:55.099 --> 0:15:57.619 their own heads all the time. Mine is so noisy. 0:15:57.699 --> 0:16:00.059 Maybe that's enough, Loot, look at your. 0:15:59.939 --> 0:16:01.619 Life and look at what's around you right now and 0:16:01.699 --> 0:16:02.979 your internal brain. 0:16:03.299 --> 0:16:04.859 I need to be medicated. 0:16:04.899 --> 0:16:07.219 But I just feel like my brain is it's always going, 0:16:07.659 --> 0:16:09.539 and if it's not going, I'm like counting things. 0:16:09.579 --> 0:16:11.499 I'm doing all kinds of weird stuff just to keep 0:16:11.499 --> 0:16:12.259 my brain occupied. 0:16:12.379 --> 0:16:13.059 It's not that I. 0:16:12.979 --> 0:16:15.779 Can't do it, because some people are a step further. 0:16:15.899 --> 0:16:17.539 There are people that do it. There's people that don't 0:16:17.579 --> 0:16:19.299 do it, but there are some people that physically can't. 0:16:19.339 --> 0:16:21.659
