Speaker 1: you tried the vegamite? Have you gone that far?

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know what. I lived in the UK for

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: six years and they have Marmite right, and I didn't

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: like that, but I liked vegamite. So I got my

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: first taste of vegemite in London when I lived there

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: years ago.

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: Because a fun fact about that years ago, Vegimite changed

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: its name to par Will so it could take on Marmite,

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: and their slogan was if mar might pa Will. Oh

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: really that's what they did.

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: Didn't work?

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: No, it didn't work. I went straight back to Vegamin.

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160

Speaker 2: Oh, that's interesting. I don't remember that.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: When one of the kids here get off Wikipedia and

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: asked the question, I love it. Is it also true

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: that your secret midget? Is that true?

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? That's not working either.

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: It must be a big deal for me. I would

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: never I've lived diversities. I lived in London when I

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: was a little kid and I hated it. But it

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: must be so such a big deal to come to

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: another country and take up citizenship there. What do you

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: miss about America?

51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: Look, I'm watching crazily the elections that are happening in

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: the US today, and you know, I have so many

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: friends and family and it's been really something to watch.

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: But I have to say, I'm so grateful and glad

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: to be able to live here. I really feel like

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't have to be worried about being randomly shot.

57
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about you know, if your

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: child has a healthcare issue. You don't have to worry

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: about mortgaging your home. You know, there's so many different

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: issues in America. That minimum wage here, you have a

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 2: decent minimum wage. I think it's going up to twenty

62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: five dollars there. It's been seven dollars something per years.

63
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's ridiculous. There are some things that really

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: do need to change there. And I think the quality

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: of life here, I'm very grateful. I just I love

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: living here. I love where I live with the bird sound,

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: and yeah, I'm just super grateful to be here.

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: You had such a distinctive voice. Was this your voice

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: from the moment you were a kid and you learnt

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you could sing?

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: You know, I had are The principal of an elementary

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 2: school that I went to was a choir teacher and

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: she took my mom and she said, you know what,

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: you needed to put her into opera classes and stuff

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: because I had a big, booming voice. I remember I

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: was at that school doing a duet with another girl

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: and just before we were going on, it was we're

78
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 2: singing to the teachers and the parents, you know, and

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: she said, please, don't singing that voice. That voice, I

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: don't think of that voice. And I kind of gave

81
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: it a little bit more probably.

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: And what you saw, so you just had to find

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: your people.

84
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: That's right. Well, I think, you know, I just always

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: had a I just always had a voice. I don't

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: know where it came from. And I'm a belter and

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: and I have a big heart. So I think one

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 2: of my superpowers is just singing with my whole heart.

89
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: And you know, and that's what people can expect coming

90
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: up with these shows, is that I've kind of just

91
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: taken my superpower and I'm going with it because I

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: think we all need to be loved up.

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure, and don't forget to go to those psychics

94
