How are you? 10 00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:39,340 Thanks, Paul. Appreciate that, buddy. That's good. Congratulations first and foremost on reaching 11 00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:42,675 350. Thank you very much. I won't lie, you've done the bulk of the work. 12 00:00:44,255 --> 00:00:48,095 I've, I've moseyoned in here at old episode 333, so I'm 13 00:00:48,095 --> 00:00:50,275 up to I'm up to episode 17. 14 00:00:51,855 --> 00:00:54,570 Are you still gonna celebrate my whole show? Here I am Are you still gonna 15 00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:58,330 celebrate I am celebrating 350 like it's my own amazing event. It's a 16 00:00:58,410 --> 00:01:02,250 it's an awesome milestone to get to. And I'll be honest, man. I'm I'm 17 17 00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:05,930 podcasting and, I I'm blown away at the fact that 18 00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:09,425 you've made it to 333 by yourself. It's like it's bloody 19 00:01:09,585 --> 00:01:12,545 it's not easy. Right? It's not it's it's it's not easy. I must admit back 20 00:01:12,545 --> 00:01:15,905 in the day, it was a lot harder. Now there's tools that help 21 00:01:15,905 --> 00:01:19,665 you, obviously, edit it and, create the show notes and 22 00:01:19,665 --> 00:01:23,340 things like that. Previously, like, before I'd sort of we've got a team 23 00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:26,460 now that help us do it. Before that, it was a lot of work. I 24 00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:30,299 can imagine. And, like, as I've spoken about multiple times, finding the way to 25 00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:33,995 write an intro about something like I've battled. Yeah. So that was the 26 00:01:33,995 --> 00:01:36,795 hardest part. The easy part was recording, which I really enjoyed, but then there was 27 00:01:36,795 --> 00:01:40,635 so many layers of it that I didn't enjoy. But yeah, I think just 28 00:01:40,635 --> 00:01:43,915 doing the actual podcast and being proud of it was enough to make me keep 29 00:01:43,915 --> 00:01:47,670 doing it. So Yeah. It's awesome. I, it does It's mind blowing the 30 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:51,110 the programs you use and the AI we use now, and we simply throw the 31 00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:54,870 recording into it. And then it spits out, obviously, a transcript that spits out the 32 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:58,710 little nuggets of joy the nuggets of gold. Yeah. And the 33 00:01:58,710 --> 00:02:02,494 videos that link to it. And it's just incredible in it. And Cricket does it 34 00:02:02,494 --> 00:02:06,255 all. It's amazing. So, yeah, for people out there, you put, like, once we've 35 00:02:06,255 --> 00:02:10,095 done this, I put it into a program, and it 36 00:02:10,095 --> 00:02:13,930 does the show notes in 2 minutes, comes up with titles for us, then 37 00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:17,450 it gives you anything you want. Then you put the video into another 38 00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:21,290 platform and it spits out 20 little promo clips you can play on social 39 00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:24,890 media. Yeah. Yeah. The only thing really I have to do now is 40 00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:28,704 editing. Yeah. But think of the content and then talk shit. Yeah. That's right. 41 00:02:28,724 --> 00:02:31,605 And that we can do very well. And that we can do very well. Yeah. 42 00:02:31,605 --> 00:02:35,125 That's why I'm probably enjoying it more than ever because the things that 43 00:02:35,125 --> 00:02:38,885 really, yeah, took away from the joy of doing the podcast had sort of 44 00:02:38,885 --> 00:02:42,470 gone now. And that follow on from last week's episode, you know, that's 45 00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:46,150 there are the power of AI that can be a superpower, and I'm sure 46 00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:49,350 there's programs out there. If you're doing something you don't enjoy, I bet there's a 47 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:52,870 way you can eliminate that, reduce that time. You just have to look and 48 00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:55,530 explore. Go and play. Go and play with it. Yep. Go and play. 49 00:02:56,644 --> 00:03:00,405 350. Episode 350. I love my stats, you know that. We we 50 00:03:00,405 --> 00:03:04,245 cannot have episode 350. With a couple of stats thrown 51 00:03:04,245 --> 00:03:07,525 in, obviously, you and I love our cricket. We love our footy. We are here 52 00:03:07,525 --> 00:03:11,190 in Australia. And so I just dug up a couple of stats around 53 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:14,790 350. Yeah. Cricket starts tomorrow. So let's start. That is cricket 54 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:18,489 season here. There's only a handful of people that have made over 350 55 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:22,245 runs in an innings. Yep. Do you know who they are? Brian Lara is 1. 56 00:03:22,405 --> 00:03:26,245 Matthew Hayden. Oh, he's on. An older 57 00:03:26,405 --> 00:03:29,144 yep. So they're the 2 ladies.

And Brian Lara is the only man who's done it twice. And Brian 60 00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:41,020 Lara of 401. He actually made, 500 Plain 61 00:03:41,020 --> 00:03:44,780 County Cricket for Warwickshire. There you go. Yeah. Mate, that was excellent 62 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:47,420 cricket knowledge. I just I knew you wouldn't let me down with that one. I'm 63 00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:50,595 like, oh, I'm bringing some cricket stats beside you today. Such a nuffie.

Eddie Betts, Dougie Hawkins, and who doesn't love those 2 72 00:04:19,285 --> 00:04:22,965 smiling assassins, running around their footy field. That's right. Yeah. They're the 2 that mare. 73 00:04:22,965 --> 00:04:26,725 So but, mate, yeah, congratulations on 350 and, let's get 74 00:04:26,725 --> 00:04:30,509 stuck into it. I wanna throw out last week, we did a 75 00:04:30,509 --> 00:04:33,229 couple of questions that I noticed. I wanna I wanna start off with just one 76 00:04:33,229 --> 00:04:37,069 question that I noticed because, we've been using this a little bit in our 77 00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:40,830 workshop. What's your favorite memory of 78 00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:44,645 the podcast so far? So 350 episodes. What's your favorite one? What's your 79 00:04:44,645 --> 00:04:48,325 favorite memory? There's a guy called, Beau 80 00:04:48,325 --> 00:04:52,025 Miles. Don't know if people know him, but he's like this, like, really famous 81 00:04:52,485 --> 00:04:56,165 adventurer. So he does, like, crazy things. Like, he lives out, 82 00:04:56,805 --> 00:05:00,560 sort of Warrigal way. And he's, like, works as a uni lecturer. And, like, he's 83 00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,700 only cook, canoeed or kayak to work. So he carries it 84 00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:08,300 and then gets in drains and, or he, like, ate baked 85 00:05:08,300 --> 00:05:12,145 beans only for a month. Or he does anyway, check 86 00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:15,905 out his YouTube channel. What's what's what's his name again? Beau Miles. Okay. He's 87 00:05:15,905 --> 00:05:19,105 he's written books. He's global speaker. Yeah. Anyway, a guy used to, 88 00:05:20,145 --> 00:05:23,425 Bruce here, a guy used to work at. He's best mates of him. So he 89 00:05:23,425 --> 00:05:26,770 goes, sorry. I could probably get his guy, but I didn't know who he was. 90 00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:30,550 Anyway, so I went out to his farm in Jindarik or somewhere like that, 91 00:05:30,610 --> 00:05:33,910 and we did a podcast in his, like, work shed, in his shed, 92 00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:38,615 in the middle of winter. I was freezing. But it was just, it 93 00:05:38,615 --> 00:05:42,375 was, like, a really memorable experience. That's awesome. Yeah. And I think they're the 94 00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:45,735 ones face to face. So, yeah, obviously, I have to put in a lot more 95 00:05:45,735 --> 00:05:49,410 effort and work and planning to get it up and running, but, yeah, 96 00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:53,010 it's, that one just sticks in my memory. It was a really cool experience. Yeah. 97 00:05:53,010 --> 00:05:56,530 That's epic. I love it. You? Well, I've only got 17 to choose 98 00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:59,890 from. I don't have to wrap the memory too much. We've 99 00:05:59,890 --> 00:06:03,090 obviously I I love just you and I having a chat. I love those ones. 100 00:06:03,090 --> 00:06:06,745 But in terms of a favorite guest, oh, man, I'm gonna throw up 101 00:06:06,745 --> 00:06:10,185 Michael Ackerman. A, I know he's one of my closest mates and we and but 102 00:06:10,185 --> 00:06:13,465 we are podcast fiends and we chat podcasts all the time. And I think just 103 00:06:13,465 --> 00:06:17,305 to have, a mate on there who I've divulged so 104 00:06:17,305 --> 00:06:20,710 many podcasts or shared so many podcasts with and had him in the studio. And 105 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:23,750 it was an epic chat. Yes, sir. It was on a really cool journey. And 106 00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:27,590 I just love the, my favorite memory would be the, the Eric, what do 107 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:31,349 we call it? Eric Weinen Weinenhammer, the, the the crazy 108 00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,765 man that had grit and and will power. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, that nickname stuck 109 00:06:34,765 --> 00:06:37,324 a little with Ace now. So it's become a bit of a favorite memory. Eric, 110 00:06:37,324 --> 00:06:40,604 the old Eric. But yeah, that's probably one of my faves. But on top of 111 00:06:40,604 --> 00:06:43,805 that also, I loved, on a personal, I think Conan, just for a bit of 112 00:06:43,805 --> 00:06:47,565 inspiration about just a normal Aussie bloke who, did something crazy and could 113 00:06:47,565 --> 00:06:51,180 change transform his life around. And little Eliza West was also on the line. 114 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:54,860 Yeah. I love that one. She was a fun chat. So, couple to choose from 115 00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:58,700 there, but I'm I'm still a newbie, 17 in, 116 00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:02,700 asked me again in in another, what, 80, 83 times when I'm 117 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,765 gonna reach a 100, hopefully. There we go. Yeah. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? That'd 118 00:07:05,765 --> 00:07:09,525 be nice. Well done. Good memories, though. Great memories. I 119 00:07:09,525 --> 00:07:12,645 was as you know, and everyone out there, I love to walk my dog every 120 00:07:12,645 --> 00:07:16,165 morning. You do. I do. And, something came across my ears this 121 00:07:16,165 --> 00:07:19,205 morning that that I thought was really bloody cool that I wanted to chat about 122 00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:21,690 today. And you got no idea what it is. To be honest, Sadie's got no 123 00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:24,570 idea about any of these conversations that take place though, which is awesome. So it's 124 00:07:24,570 --> 00:07:27,950 actually really nice. And to answer your question, I just rock up now, 125 00:07:28,170 --> 00:07:31,450 and I do no planning, and I just get to have a chat. Yeah. So 126 00:07:31,450 --> 00:07:35,095 that's probably why I really enjoy it because previously, there's, like, a lot of work 127 00:07:35,095 --> 00:07:38,695 went into my end of doing that now. Yeah. So, yeah, I rock in just 128 00:07:38,695 --> 00:07:41,975 freeze a bird reader rock and don't get to talk. So I enjoy it. I'm 129 00:07:41,975 --> 00:07:45,175 so jealous. I knew on that. We because we obviously work together. Right? And we 130 00:07:45,175 --> 00:07:47,095 share a desk sitting next to each other and we're in the pot in the 131 00:07:47,095 --> 00:07:50,770 bunker. We should just bloody throw the mics on during the day. Because we we 132 00:07:50,770 --> 00:07:54,449 talk so much crap during the day. Yeah. To about to about 11 or 12 133 00:07:54,449 --> 00:07:58,050 and then This is on the podcast. 3 hours we don't talk. We're just tapping 134 00:07:58,050 --> 00:08:00,770 lights. Yeah. That'd be a fair editing job from you to feel through how to 135 00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:03,315 all the, the non appropriate conversations take place. 136 00:08:04,675 --> 00:08:08,375 But and I've heard this before, but there was a study from the Harvard University 137 00:08:08,435 --> 00:08:12,195 and they started this study in 1938, and they 138 00:08:12,195 --> 00:08:14,475 followed the lives you're nodding now, sorry. You know what I'm talking about. I know 139 00:08:14,475 --> 00:08:16,775 the one. Yep. They followed the lives of 727 140 00:08:17,875 --> 00:08:21,380 teenagers from 1938. What I love is, 141 00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:24,740 obviously, professors who have looked after the study have come and gone, passed on, and 142 00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:28,100 then a new one's gone. The pod I was listening to this morning, the 143 00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,785 professor's been in charge of that study for 22 years now, and 144 00:08:31,785 --> 00:08:33,885 there's only 10 left. So out of 727 145 00:08:35,304 --> 00:08:39,065 teenagers who started the study and they would every year catch up with 146 00:08:39,065 --> 00:08:42,745 these human beings, interview them, recall their 147 00:08:42,745 --> 00:08:46,585 thoughts, their, their well-being, their happiness, their family, their 148 00:08:46,585 --> 00:08:50,240 jobs, their hobbies, their interests, everything was 149 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,080 measured. Everything was, was taken into account. And there was only 150 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,920 10 of them left and they're all over a 100. All right. I know it's 151 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,680 insane. And listen to this guy speak to speak about it. Just the sheer joy 152 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,955 you had from it's been the coolest gig in the world. He didn't wanna do 153 00:09:04,955 --> 00:09:08,715 it. Right? He didn't wanna do it. He he actually approached Harvard Uni with a 154 00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:12,315 different pitch. They said no to his pitch, and they said, but how about we're 155 00:09:12,315 --> 00:09:15,850 looking for a new person to take over this study? Just come in and check 156 00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:18,350 it out. And he goes, I went in and I had a rate of 1 157 00:09:18,490 --> 00:09:22,010 person's like study notes. Yeah. And it was about a 158 00:09:22,010 --> 00:09:25,769 1000 pages long. Wow. This bloke was in his sixties 159 00:09:25,769 --> 00:09:28,649 by then the person who's reading it, he goes, just reading his life from a 160 00:09:28,649 --> 00:09:32,314 teenager and just how well it was documented. He goes, oh, I 161 00:09:32,314 --> 00:09:35,855 was infatuated, and then bloody loved it. 162 00:09:36,235 --> 00:09:39,194 But the reason why I wanna talk about it is he then he started talking 163 00:09:39,194 --> 00:09:42,314 about the keys to it, right? The key, these 10 that delivered to a 100 164 00:09:42,314 --> 00:09:45,214 or the the the, you know, the people lived over 80 or 90, 165 00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:50,180 and who found the most fulfillment or happiness. And it was so bloody 166 00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:53,860 simple. Obviously looking after your body was 1. Yeah. That's a no brainer. Looking 167 00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:57,380 after your body is 1. Move, eat well, simple things like 168 00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:01,135 that. The second one which I found, which was the key, 169 00:10:01,135 --> 00:10:04,815 was being connected to a community. And I'm like, holy 170 00:10:04,815 --> 00:10:07,774 shit. That's not rocket science, is it? No. It's not. Just be connected to a 171 00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:10,549 community. Doesn't matter how big or small as long as you're connected to some sort 172 00:10:10,549 --> 00:10:12,870 of community. Face to face, not with a device. It's gotta and that's the thing. 173 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:16,389 It's gotta be face to face. That's the problem. Yeah. That's what people don't have 174 00:10:16,389 --> 00:10:18,550 now. Yeah. Sorry to cut you off. That's alright. No. Go for it. That's what 175 00:10:18,550 --> 00:10:21,750 people don't have now. They think they're connected, but they're not. Yeah. Because it's through 176 00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:24,569 a device. You're missing that human connection, that interaction. 177 00:10:25,134 --> 00:10:28,735 It's that's, detrimental. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. The the 178 00:10:28,735 --> 00:10:32,574 digital the digital world is is ruining that. The second most important 179 00:10:32,574 --> 00:10:36,014 factor It's not ruining it. It's just making people really they think they're already 180 00:10:36,014 --> 00:10:39,580 getting what they need, but they're not. Good point. Like, I I don't think 181 00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:43,100 they're socially aware Yeah. Of how much they actually need that. And I don't reckon 182 00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:46,940 they're realizing that until it's far too late. A 100%. Especially teenagers, adults as well. 183 00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:50,060 Right? By then, the depression is massively kicked in. The isolation's massively kicked in. Well, 184 00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:53,825 then you got that anxiety of social situations. That's true. So then you what 185 00:10:53,825 --> 00:10:57,345 you do need to change, you actually physically can't for a lot of people. Yeah. 186 00:10:57,345 --> 00:11:01,025 And I think COVID's amplified that, but people don't help themselves. It's not 187 00:11:01,025 --> 00:11:04,705 always easy to stay connected with people or be part of something, but 188 00:11:04,705 --> 00:11:08,145 that's why it's so valuable when you do. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I just 189 00:11:08,145 --> 00:11:11,670 had I just had a light bulb moment too then. You're right. Like, 190 00:11:12,449 --> 00:11:16,290 yeah. It's it's double edged sword with the the technology world is they think they're 191 00:11:16,290 --> 00:11:20,130 connected, but we're not. Well, we're so socially connected, but so no. 192 00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:23,970 So digitally connected, but they're so socially not connected. And then the anxiety 193 00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:26,704 kicks in about I need to show up in front up in person. And I 194 00:11:26,704 --> 00:11:28,785 can't do it. Conversation. They can't do it. It freaks me out, so I don't 195 00:11:28,785 --> 00:11:32,464 wanna do it. Well, we even spoke about, you know, kids these days, particularly, you 196 00:11:32,464 --> 00:11:36,305 know, when you're taking your kids to, like, soccer or something like 197 00:11:36,305 --> 00:11:40,150 that. And just the anxiety kids have about leaving and and 198 00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:43,990 starting, getting into it. Yeah. Leaving leaving their parents to run on the field 199 00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:47,690 and joining training with kids their own age. Yeah. Yeah. It's 200 00:11:47,910 --> 00:11:51,685 fucking mind blowing. So starting really young, but that's where I feel you don't 201 00:11:51,685 --> 00:11:55,444 have to play sport, but I feel I don't I'm personally and I know you 202 00:11:55,444 --> 00:11:58,404 are too, but sports played a huge part in my life Yeah. And there's been 203 00:11:58,404 --> 00:12:02,084 a reason for that because the connections that it's allowed me to 204 00:12:02,084 --> 00:12:05,860 make and the friendships, the people in your life of all 205 00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:09,079 different ages, all different walks of life, everybody's accepted, 206 00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:13,459 and everyone's got a place. That's the power of sport, I 207 00:12:13,459 --> 00:12:17,240 feel. Yeah. I'd I'd I haven't seen really anywhere else 208 00:12:17,345 --> 00:12:20,305 that does it as well as a sports club. Yes. I know some get the 209 00:12:20,305 --> 00:12:24,145 bad rep on, like, binge drinking and, you know, bad culture or 210 00:12:24,145 --> 00:12:27,985 whatever. But on a whole, when you start talking about the things we just 211 00:12:27,985 --> 00:12:31,745 mentioned, you know, about social anxiety and isolation and 212 00:12:31,745 --> 00:12:35,399 having no connections, that a sports environment does 213 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:38,520 that better than any way. Yeah. I agree. And even though you you move into 214 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,279 the adult world, not many adults are really 215 00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:46,120 strongly connected to external community groups anymore. Yes. You'll go along into your 216 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,665 kid's sport or whatever it might be. You know, I mean, you're pretty lucky if 217 00:12:49,665 --> 00:12:52,225 you've got a group mates that play golf regularly, for example, whatever it is or 218 00:12:52,225 --> 00:12:55,985 catch up regularly and regularly that's not, let's go meet at the pub and get 219 00:12:55,985 --> 00:12:59,425 smashed 4 times a year with a group mates. It's that more regular 220 00:12:59,425 --> 00:13:02,785 occurrence. And this bloke was also saying that the he sort of said, he goes, 221 00:13:02,785 --> 00:13:06,420 what I've learned from these studies, and over the last 22 222 00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:10,020 years is the importance of me and my mates, and this guy's now in his 223 00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:13,720 eighties, right? The me and my mates catching up for dinner 224 00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:17,700 once a fortnight. Wow. And I started that because of after reading these 225 00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,764 studies for 7 years and figuring it out, I was like, that's one of the 226 00:13:20,764 --> 00:13:24,524 keys to our longevity and our happiness. And so I instigated that with 227 00:13:24,524 --> 00:13:27,964 my group mates because we weren't doing that. And then once a fortnight, him and 228 00:13:27,964 --> 00:13:31,745 his him and his friends catch up for dinner, and he goes, that's completely transformed 229 00:13:31,805 --> 00:13:35,259 so many of our mental health, but just their happiness and our connection. 230 00:13:36,839 --> 00:13:39,399 Yeah. It's insane. And so I literally reached out to a few of the boys 231 00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,240 this morning, and said, let's catch up, you know, pre Christmas and, yeah, 232 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,005 not get smashed or something like key. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It was 233 00:13:47,005 --> 00:13:49,725 real. I don't know. Real, real interesting. Few more things that came out than I 234 00:13:49,725 --> 00:13:53,565 wanna talk about. The third most important thing, was 235 00:13:53,565 --> 00:13:57,025 a sense of purpose in making an impact on your community. 236 00:13:57,325 --> 00:14:00,765 So a being connected to community, but the third most important thing was that these 237 00:14:00,765 --> 00:14:04,390 individuals who live longer and happier had a sense of like purpose 238 00:14:04,390 --> 00:14:08,150 or focus on how they can have a positive impact on their 239 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:11,510 community and they never lost sight of it. They kept working towards it. And I 240 00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:15,110 thought that was really cool too. So not, you're not your business card. You're not, 241 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:18,915 you're not your business card. We've said that a few times. But having that 242 00:14:18,915 --> 00:14:22,435 purpose outside of your career on how you can have a positive impact on your 243 00:14:22,435 --> 00:14:26,035 community, also spurred on longevity and 244 00:14:26,035 --> 00:14:28,834 spurred on happiness and fulfillment and those sorts of things, but you got to stick 245 00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:32,590 at it. He said a lot of people started off in their twenties 246 00:14:32,590 --> 00:14:36,350 thirties having some sort of purpose with their community, but it dropped 247 00:14:36,350 --> 00:14:39,790 off and then they withered away. The ones that kept it through their forties 248 00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:43,550 fifties sixties were the ones with the happiest in their retirement and live the longest. 249 00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:47,065 Why is it, man? So simple, isn't it? To think of it that 250 00:14:47,065 --> 00:14:50,585 way. Well, that's where I feel, you know, you see so many, like, 251 00:14:50,585 --> 00:14:54,105 retirement complexes going up and things like that. I think it's a no 252 00:14:54,105 --> 00:14:57,625 brainer that that's the best idea ever. Yeah. Because then 253 00:14:57,625 --> 00:15:01,460 you've got things to do. There are there's activities planned. You've got 254 00:15:01,460 --> 00:15:05,300 a community of people. You're all there together. Like, there's your purpose. 255 00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:08,660 Yeah. And it's organized for you. And it's organized for you. I just I just 256 00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:11,955 think it's a brilliant concept. Fun and it's engaging. What do they do? They play 257 00:15:12,195 --> 00:15:15,715 every day. They're doing excursions. Bingo. They're doing excursions. They're playing lawn 258 00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:19,475 bowls. You know? They've got everything you need, and there's something 259 00:15:19,475 --> 00:15:23,075 every night. And that means you you don't have to do it all, but wow. 260 00:15:23,075 --> 00:15:25,555 Like, when you're retired, what else are you doing? Mate, I got no crumbs going 261 00:15:25,555 --> 00:15:28,980 to retirement No crumbs at all. A lot of people wanna stay at home. That 262 00:15:28,980 --> 00:15:31,060 might change when I get to that age, but right now I'm like, sign me 263 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:34,660 up. Sign me up for movies and lawn bowls and and and bingo and 264 00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:38,100 whatnot. And my old man, shout out Jim Bob. My old man's 265 00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:41,540 74, and as you know, he's, he's reinventing himself as a 266 00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:45,335 DJ. And he now it's amazing. Bloody love it. 267 00:15:45,335 --> 00:15:48,795 And he now goes out to retirement villages and other things like that, and DJs 268 00:15:48,855 --> 00:15:52,535 on the Saturday nights, Friday nights, and he goes, they go nuts. They literally put 269 00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:56,270 the music on, they say crank it up, they dance like no tomorrow, and 270 00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:59,830 he's literally getting paid to do DJ gigs at all these different time villages at 271 00:15:59,830 --> 00:16:03,650 the age of 74. It's awesome. That is the best. 272 00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:06,670 Oh, mate. Over in New Zealand, I bloody love it. Well done, Jimmy. It's bloody 273 00:16:06,670 --> 00:16:10,485 brilliant. The last thing I wanted to bring up from this Harvard study is 274 00:16:11,125 --> 00:16:14,885 it got me thinking about, I think how wrong 275 00:16:14,885 --> 00:16:18,565 we've got at school. So the last most important thing was you've 276 00:16:18,565 --> 00:16:21,605 gotta love your job and your career. Like, you gotta love it. And the sheer 277 00:16:21,605 --> 00:16:25,045 amount of people in this study who reported hating their 278 00:16:25,045 --> 00:16:28,470 jobs over a prolonged period of time, they all died 279 00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:32,230 young. Wow. They all died young. They withered away. 280 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:35,990 The comment was they withered away and died young. Their their emotions 281 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:39,510 withered away. Their feelings, their connection, everything else because they stuck in a 282 00:16:39,510 --> 00:16:43,255 job. The thing is the people that jumped and found their 283 00:16:43,255 --> 00:16:47,014 true career they love doing and a job they actually didn't mind going to are 284 00:16:47,014 --> 00:16:50,695 the ones that end up living longer and living happier. So that got me 285 00:16:50,695 --> 00:16:53,894 thinking about careers Is that why you're not with the new one here? That's it. 286 00:16:53,894 --> 00:16:57,350 Exactly right. No. I've said it a few times. I don't feel like I've gotta 287 00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:01,029 work in the last 6 months. It's unreal. Every Monday I get Monday, I just 288 00:17:01,029 --> 00:17:04,230 my previous gig and that is what it's, I don't feel like I've been gonna 289 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:08,069 work it for 6 months, which is awesome. So hopefully it continues and I 290 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:11,865 don't wither away. At schools, we have 291 00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:15,545 career practitioners, career counselors. It's massive. Like the school is that we had 292 00:17:15,545 --> 00:17:19,165 about 6 of them. And every single student goes through the careers 293 00:17:19,625 --> 00:17:23,385 thing, right, from year 9, 10, 11, 12, and it's all your career. 294 00:17:23,385 --> 00:17:26,980 Career, career, career. Why are we not 295 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,720 swapping them out between 7 career practitioners? We have life 296 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,240 coaches Yep. At schools. In the life coaches, you can still talk about 297 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,865 careers, but also get them focusing on what is your purpose 298 00:17:37,865 --> 00:17:41,065 gonna be, what you're gonna have to be specific for a career. No. You aren't 299 00:17:41,065 --> 00:17:44,745 your business card. No. And and change that so students, 300 00:17:44,904 --> 00:17:48,585 and young people are entering the adult world with a bit more of a focus 301 00:17:48,585 --> 00:17:52,389 or a mindset on right. What's important here for my longevity and happiness 302 00:17:52,389 --> 00:17:55,990 is not just my bloody career. It's how I can have a positive 303 00:17:55,990 --> 00:17:59,750 impact on those around me, my community, the world, and no matter how small 304 00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:03,524 it is, but have some sort of goal around that. We're sending these young people 305 00:18:03,524 --> 00:18:07,365 out with just goals towards career. Yep. Yeah. And that just 306 00:18:07,365 --> 00:18:09,684 made that was my light bulb moment walking the dog this morning. I love it. 307 00:18:09,684 --> 00:18:13,205 I love it. And that's the thing. There's so many different sort of coaches these 308 00:18:13,205 --> 00:18:17,010 days that help people outside of school because people need it because 309 00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:20,370 I don't think they're getting that at school. No. So once they leave school, they're 310 00:18:20,370 --> 00:18:23,330 a bit lost, like, yeah, you might have to do these courses to go to 311 00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:26,529 university and get that job, but what happens if you've done 4 years of study 312 00:18:26,529 --> 00:18:29,924 and you don't like your job? Yeah. Do you stick at it? I don't know 313 00:18:29,924 --> 00:18:33,445 any different. I was always told from you 9 that that's gonna be my 314 00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:36,644 career. Yep. Well, that's not life now. And the world we live in, the possibility 315 00:18:36,644 --> 00:18:40,085 is endless. So, oh, I I love that idea. Like, 316 00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:43,705 that don't just pigeonhole career, you know, talk about future. 317 00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:47,610 Yeah. Yeah. And with that, like, you have to tick off all different elements of 318 00:18:47,610 --> 00:18:51,290 your future. Ways to stay healthy, ways to stay connected, ways to 319 00:18:51,290 --> 00:18:54,750 feel good about what you do. Yeah. You know, what are your interest? 320 00:18:55,130 --> 00:18:58,510 Not just select a career, but these are things you could do. 321 00:18:58,825 --> 00:19:02,105 You don't have to do these 4 subjects in year 12. So you can go 322 00:19:02,105 --> 00:19:05,465 to uni and then you can do that career. Yeah. You know, explore different 323 00:19:05,465 --> 00:19:08,505 things. I just I I think it's a great idea, mate. It's a great idea, 324 00:19:08,505 --> 00:19:10,825 isn't it? And then that just taught me too. And you can still get the 325 00:19:10,825 --> 00:19:14,669 benefits out of the careers councils, but change their, yeah, change their focus too 326 00:19:14,669 --> 00:19:18,350 to to broaden it a little bit. Don't label it careers. I'll feel 327 00:19:18,429 --> 00:19:22,110 you know, we're big on don't label things. Yep. Like the moment you label 328 00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:25,725 it straight away, people get anxious about that. People are 329 00:19:26,045 --> 00:19:29,165 you're not supposed to know what you wanna do. Nah. Not everyone sticks at one 330 00:19:29,165 --> 00:19:33,005 job. The world we're living from when our parents' generation that you're 331 00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:36,285 just stuck at your job because that's what you did changes. Look look at the 332 00:19:36,285 --> 00:19:39,985 world we're living now. People might have 10, 20 jobs throughout their life, 333 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:43,270 and that's fine. Yeah. What I'm up to? 1, 2, 3, 4. I'm up to 334 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:47,110 about number 4 now. Career number 4. Yep. I think they say nowadays, 335 00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:50,630 people might do it 9 or 7 different careers in a lifetime, which I think 336 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:54,284 is pretty high, but I'm up to career number 4, I guess. I started 337 00:19:54,284 --> 00:19:57,644 out young. When I was 10, I started my lawn mowing business, and I was 338 00:19:57,644 --> 00:20:01,245 at McDonald's. I thought I probably done my fair few. I'm still 7 years old. 339 00:20:01,245 --> 00:20:04,605 Don't worry. If I include me freaking me pizza hut, me Target, me 340 00:20:04,605 --> 00:20:07,884 lifesaving, then it's up to number 7 or 8. But I'm thinking career is post 341 00:20:07,884 --> 00:20:11,330 high school, actual career wise, it's it's career number 4, 342 00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:15,550 in different industries. But, yeah. I don't know. It was bloody interesting. But 343 00:20:15,550 --> 00:20:18,590 it's sort of popped up there, but the scores, if you're listening Let's say, Bring 344 00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:21,950 in life coaches. Yeah. I've and don't even call you don't have to call them 345 00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:25,615 life coaches, but, yeah, just don't label things like and 346 00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:29,375 that's I know we're massive on this, and it makes sense. Like, 347 00:20:29,375 --> 00:20:32,895 just make it make it something that particularly students wanna go 348 00:20:32,895 --> 00:20:36,655 to because it'll help them figure out through those areas that they 349 00:20:36,655 --> 00:20:40,240 may feel a little bit lost. Because those areas when they feel lost and it's 350 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,080 labeled career, then they start judging and comparing themselves 351 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,640 to others. Oh, they know what they would do. They're doing this course. They're gonna 352 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,000 be a doctor or they're gonna da da da down this. I think by labeling 353 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,775 it careers, you're actually building that stress and anxiety into it. Yeah. If you 354 00:20:53,775 --> 00:20:56,735 don't know what you wanna do because you know, you have to sit down and 355 00:20:56,735 --> 00:21:00,495 go through this course with them. Yeah. I just yeah. I'd make it 356 00:21:00,495 --> 00:21:04,255 make it broader, make it just about how can you be the best possible version 357 00:21:04,255 --> 00:21:07,850 of yourself Yeah. And enjoy each day when you get up. And isn't it mental 358 00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:11,610 that the one of the key things longevity happiness in that study was 359 00:21:11,610 --> 00:21:15,450 to have a focus or a bit of purpose or an idea how you 360 00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:18,970 can have a positive impact in your community. I would 361 00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:22,325 struggle to say what do you reckon, 5% of the pop world's 362 00:21:22,325 --> 00:21:26,164 population probably has a mindset of that, of wake up in the morning 363 00:21:26,164 --> 00:21:29,764 going, right, how can I actually have a positive impact On others? On others. Not 364 00:21:29,764 --> 00:21:32,970 about me, me, me, me, me, me, my career mightily do this, do that. 365 00:21:47,205 --> 00:21:50,965 What, the implications technology was there any mention 366 00:21:50,965 --> 00:21:54,804 of that? There was. Right right at the very end, they spoke about how and 367 00:21:54,804 --> 00:21:58,404 simple things like we've gone from, you know, 368 00:21:58,404 --> 00:22:02,159 having face to face conversations to now now texting. And now that their 369 00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:05,600 preferred method is now email Really? Or 370 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,360 texting. Yeah. And if you think about it, we we email like no tomorrow for 371 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:13,120 work. And as a mates group, I would email my mates far I'm sorry. I 372 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,905 would text my mates far more than I call them. Yeah. And everyone's the same. 373 00:22:17,305 --> 00:22:20,185 Or your message through Insta, whatever it might be in those same things. So that 374 00:22:20,185 --> 00:22:23,245 was number 1. They said that's the key detriment to technology 375 00:22:24,105 --> 00:22:27,645 is that there's no more verbal or very little verbal 376 00:22:27,785 --> 00:22:31,520 communication taking place and we need that connection. And then the other one 377 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,559 was the way even things are documented now, but it used to be all documented 378 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:38,400 in written files. You know, you you talk to a person, you take notes, 379 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800 you talk those sort of things and now you click on a file on a 380 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,340 computer, you share it via an email that that interpersonal 381 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,455 connections gone. Yeah. And what you echoed 382 00:22:48,455 --> 00:22:51,975 before people feel, they feel as though they've got enough 383 00:22:51,975 --> 00:22:55,735 connection. Yeah. But realistically, they're not getting the type of connection they need. They don't 384 00:22:55,735 --> 00:22:59,340 they don't know it till it's too late. Yeah. And also that some probably a 385 00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:03,100 bit naive too. It's so much easier to get your phone out. Yeah. You know, 386 00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,700 that's nothing I've found in life that's good is 387 00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:10,299 easy. Like, and that's pretty simple. Like, most things 388 00:23:10,299 --> 00:23:13,995 take work, dedication. Like, it's sometimes it's hard, 389 00:23:13,995 --> 00:23:17,835 but that pays off. Yeah. And it's exactly the same with people and 390 00:23:17,835 --> 00:23:21,595 connections and being part of something. You're not just gonna get it if you don't 391 00:23:21,595 --> 00:23:24,955 put the effort in. No one's going to, you know, no one's just gonna keep 392 00:23:24,955 --> 00:23:27,850 going, oh, oh, Dale, come on, mate. We know you don't put any effort, but 393 00:23:27,850 --> 00:23:31,290 we just wanna keep bringing you along because I know it's good for you. Bullshit. 394 00:23:31,290 --> 00:23:35,130 That doesn't happen. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, that that would be my thing. Like, we 395 00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:38,650 know what we need to do, but sometimes it's hard. But that's why it's worth 396 00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:42,215 it. Yep. I love it. Another question that I noticed, 397 00:23:43,154 --> 00:23:46,855 you cannot talk about I'm gonna put some parameters on here. 398 00:23:46,995 --> 00:23:50,274 Can't talk about family. Okay. Can't talk about kids. Okay. I know it's horrible, but 399 00:23:50,274 --> 00:23:52,914 I don't I I want I want you to recall something that's outside of that 400 00:23:52,914 --> 00:23:55,720 role for me because it's 2 mates having a chatty. Okay. And I was watching 401 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,800 something the other day and it said, ah, she makes this question. I don't wanna 402 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,260 ask it. What is one memory 403 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,340 that you never wanna let go of? 404 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,585 Probably doing my TED talk. Okay. It was I've I've 405 00:24:09,585 --> 00:24:13,185 probably sprayed 350 episodes. I probably mentioned. I've seen all these before, 406 00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:17,025 but, it was something that took a, like, a while. Like, 407 00:24:17,025 --> 00:24:20,610 it was hard to get. They're not easy to get one. And then I 408 00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:24,290 practiced for 3 months straight. I think I recorded myself, like, 409 00:24:24,290 --> 00:24:28,050 video over a 100 times, because I only got 15 410 00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:31,810 minutes, and I was so nervous on the day. I remember I was, number 3 411 00:24:31,810 --> 00:24:35,625 up, Rick Ricky Ponting, on the day, and I I got up and did it. 412 00:24:35,625 --> 00:24:39,385 And the feeling afterwards, like, because you're supposed to 413 00:24:39,385 --> 00:24:43,065 go 15 minutes, and I went I think I went 14 minutes and 54 seconds. 414 00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:46,830 Yeah. So I was like, bang on. And it was just like, bang. It was 415 00:24:47,149 --> 00:24:50,110 like, I'm really proud of that. Yeah. That's awesome. Even though I watch it back 416 00:24:50,110 --> 00:24:53,789 now and I'm like, oh, there's things I don't like about it, I still 417 00:24:53,789 --> 00:24:56,429 did it. Do you know that I've never watched it? Haven't you? No. Yeah. Don't 418 00:24:56,429 --> 00:24:58,510 worry about it, mate. Many people that we work with are going, oh, I watch 419 00:24:58,510 --> 00:25:01,015 your TED Talk. And I'm sitting there going, should I work with a bloke? And 420 00:25:01,015 --> 00:25:03,575 I'm not part of the business. I actually haven't sat down and watched your TED 421 00:25:03,575 --> 00:25:07,415 Talk. But I've seen you do half the shit numerous times now, obviously, in in 422 00:25:07,415 --> 00:25:10,215 real life and in person. But, yeah, I've never gone back and watched your TED 423 00:25:10,215 --> 00:25:13,255 Talk. Trees, I'll watch it. We might be most on the big TV. I've only 424 00:25:13,255 --> 00:25:17,012 watched it twice. Oh, both of them. I watched it, 425 00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:20,876 the day it come out. Yeah. And I watched it, a few months 426 00:25:20,876 --> 00:25:24,481 ago when, was putting together those talks with Paul Watkins because I watched 427 00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:28,274 his and mine to sort of help put the and I was still proud of 428 00:25:28,274 --> 00:25:31,875 it, but, yeah, obviously, that was about 4 or 5 years ago now. 429 00:25:31,875 --> 00:25:35,715 So the way I spoke and things I'd say, I was like, 430 00:25:35,715 --> 00:25:38,914 oh, I could've got way better. Yeah. I'll always be our worst critics. Yeah. But 431 00:25:38,914 --> 00:25:42,639 overall, I'm still proud of it. What's yours, mate? Oh, I knew you're 432 00:25:42,639 --> 00:25:46,240 gonna Of course. I'm almost dead of me. I'll be honest with you. My 433 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,080 my mind, it's bloody inappropriate, but we're not talking to kids here. So it's 434 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,679 alright. It's quite funny. I'll be honest with you. My one that I never let 435 00:25:53,679 --> 00:25:57,495 go of, I'm not gonna mention any names, but we were, we were 436 00:25:57,495 --> 00:26:00,715 living overseas in a in a in in Colorado. And, 437 00:26:01,255 --> 00:26:05,095 never forget one day wake up and, and I opened up my window 438 00:26:05,095 --> 00:26:08,455 and it was absolutely like a dump. I'm talking a meter and a half of 439 00:26:08,455 --> 00:26:11,539 snow. I looked at my window and it was epic. I was like, holy crap. 440 00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:15,039 And I got up and I ran down the hallway and I, opened up my 441 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:18,720 best mate's door to his room and, opened the door and I was confronted with 442 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,039 the scene that I never wanna forget because it's one of the funniest things in 443 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,774 my life. And, and I still piss myself when I think about it today. 444 00:26:24,774 --> 00:26:28,215 And I opened the door and he's me, mate, spread 445 00:26:28,215 --> 00:26:31,514 eagle, butt naked, headphones in 446 00:26:31,815 --> 00:26:35,654 with absolute punk music blaring, like so loud you could hear it 447 00:26:35,654 --> 00:26:39,470 from the door through his earphones. Right? And, and his eyes were 448 00:26:39,470 --> 00:26:41,950 closed. So he didn't hear me open the door. Didn't my door didn't see. My 449 00:26:41,950 --> 00:26:44,610 eyes are closed. Music on, pumping away, spread eagle, 450 00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:48,930 pleasuring himself. Alright? And I'm like 451 00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:52,670 and I'm obviously my my jaw dropped him like that is something you don't see. 452 00:26:52,670 --> 00:26:56,015 Right? And I didn't and he didn't know I was in the room because his 453 00:26:56,015 --> 00:26:58,415 eyes are closed. The music's crazy. Did you sit there and watch? No. No. No. 454 00:26:58,415 --> 00:27:02,015 Well, I turned I turned and then ran down the hallway, to go and get 455 00:27:02,015 --> 00:27:05,775 the other boys that we're living with because it's fucking funny. And, obviously, I didn't 456 00:27:05,775 --> 00:27:08,915 shut the door behind me and I'm halfway down the hallway and he's obviously 457 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,640 opened his eyes and turned and seen that his door was now wide open. I 458 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,980 just hear this, oh, no. 459 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,360 And obviously knew that he'd been caught. And, yeah, I'll we'll 460 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,045 never forget it. It's it's bloody funny. And I know it's 461 00:27:25,045 --> 00:27:28,645 completely I'm expecting that. I don't know if I would ask a 462 00:27:28,645 --> 00:27:31,685 question. I know. I don't know. And I knew when I was coming up with 463 00:27:31,685 --> 00:27:34,165 this one today, I was gonna ask you you're gonna ask me. I'm like, you 464 00:27:34,165 --> 00:27:36,965 know what? I gotta be true to the true to the pod and true to 465 00:27:36,965 --> 00:27:40,780 people. Like, that's one memory that I know it probably shouldn't be 466 00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:44,620 itching, but god it was bloody funny. One memory that I don't wanna 467 00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:47,500 forget about is, at the same bloke, so I was the best man at his 468 00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:51,340 wedding and, I actually told that story at at his wedding. It's the 469 00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:54,375 best and it didn't go down too well with him or his missus. You're correct. 470 00:27:54,375 --> 00:27:57,895 And it's something that I regret. I really do. So that's definitely one of me 471 00:27:57,895 --> 00:28:00,375 where I wanna forget because I maybe shouldn't have shared that story at a wedding, 472 00:28:00,535 --> 00:28:04,375 thing. But Probably not. But in terms of memory between he and I and 473 00:28:04,375 --> 00:28:07,895 the rest of the boys in that trip to the survivors, absolute bloody pisser. And 474 00:28:07,895 --> 00:28:11,460 when I think about it, it takes you back to, you know, being 21, 475 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,680 traveling the world, snowboarding with your mates, powder days and those sorts of 476 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,960 things and everything else that comes with that. And, that's one thing that I never 477 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,820 wanna forget, but bit random 478 00:28:22,695 --> 00:28:25,495 And you're talking to me, I'm like, damn, you know, the mics are on. I 479 00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:29,255 know, I know. And I was like, no bugger it, I'm saying it. Good on 480 00:28:29,255 --> 00:28:31,815 you. I'm saying it. You can say whatever you want. And I think that's why 481 00:28:31,815 --> 00:28:34,695 I put the parameter on it at the beginning, no family, because it's easier for 482 00:28:34,695 --> 00:28:36,775 you to go, you know, and I would. If you get if you want me 483 00:28:36,775 --> 00:28:40,570 to go that that pathway, you know, my wedding day, my wedding speeches, my my 484 00:28:40,570 --> 00:28:43,630 my child hunter walking for the first time, you know, those sorts of things. 485 00:28:44,650 --> 00:28:47,690 You know, there's lots in there. Lots that I never wanna forget. But in terms 486 00:28:47,690 --> 00:28:51,370 of just for my I guess for myself a bit more and for you, 487 00:28:51,370 --> 00:28:55,205 that's the one really cool memory to recall. Yeah. And it's something 488 00:28:55,205 --> 00:28:57,765 I wanna do, like, out for dinner next time I have dinner with some mates. 489 00:28:57,765 --> 00:29:00,965 I wanna ask them that. No family, no mate, no no family, no kids talk 490 00:29:00,965 --> 00:29:03,605 because we we talk we do that all the time. Yeah. And it's beautiful. But 491 00:29:03,605 --> 00:29:07,180 we're all the kids now and that's where the conversation goes to. But I think 492 00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:10,540 it's healthy for us sometimes. You go, you know what, lads? Give us your favorite 493 00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:13,260 memory that you never wanna let go of and it can't be your family or 494 00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:16,940 kids.
