6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: meetings now you've had to do, certainly have these meetings

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: on Zoom. I'm trying to avoid him at every cast.

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: Yea, I think it doesn't for four hours at a time.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: So I was happy to sit there and shout out

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: to her friends for like an hour or two. I

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: don't get it, like it's completely normal. Anyway, Yesterday I

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: had to pitch to a TV network two TV ideas,

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: but I had to do it from home in the

14
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: afternoon at half three, right so the kids were back

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: from school. Right there, there's so much noise. The place

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: I go to hiding now is my wife and I's closet.

17
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: I sit on the floor in there. I shut the

18
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: door right and it's like being in the womb. I

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: crawled in there. Sometimes I don't crawl, I walk it.

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm saying that I'll go in there,

21
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: but I sit on the ground and sometimes I work

22
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: in there because it's just quiet and cozy. It's like

23
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: a moment sound anyway, load up zoom and dial into

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: this to this meeting. There's four people in there, and

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: so I have to start doing a monkey tap dance

26
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: to pitch these two TV ideas, these heads of the network.

27
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: And then halfway through I noticed that the cat must

28
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: have got irritate. I didn't know the cat was in

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: Hi must have been sleeping during the day. He wants

30
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: to escape teenagers as well.

31
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: This is to do like me.

32
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: He just wants to quiet life. And then as he

33
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: sort of saunters out, there's this horrible smell, the unmistakable

34
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: smell of cat poop, right, and I just sort of

35
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: do that thing we casually, you chat away and you

36
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: just sort of scratch a shoulder to look over it.

37
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: And I see three of those little fun sized mass

38
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: pers right, and I'm like, I look at my watch,

39
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: and I've got another twenty odd minutes here. I'm just

00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: about to start my pitch for the second one, which

41
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: is the one I really want them to take.

42
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: And you can't just say I don't want to be
