| 0:00.0 | I really wanted to bring this up in a podcast. I'm glad we're talking about this. I'm going to call it too much love. And they're actually your words I've used, Vic, because it was really funny. The other day I phoned up the local clinic to get my vaccination done. |
| 0:24.6 | And it took ages to get through. |
| 0:26.7 | But then the lady answered the phone, she was clearly really busy. |
| 0:28.9 | But she was really kind and she booked me in. |
| 0:31.0 | And just before we said goodbye, I was overcome with a sense of sort of gratitude for the work that she was doing. And I had to |
| 0:39.7 | profusely thank her for, you know, and tell her what a wonderful job she was doing being part |
| 0:45.6 | of this vaccination program. And then I put down the phone and I felt like such a dick. And I |
| 0:51.7 | message Vic and I said, I've just, I've just told the vaccination lady what |
| 0:56.8 | wonderful job she's doing and I feel like a right, Wally. And Vic messaged me back and she said, |
| 1:03.2 | too much love. And it just made perfect sense because when you're sober, you are bursting with love |
| 1:10.8 | for people. And I am now 10 and a |
| 1:13.7 | half months. And this is something that's come to me in the last couple of months. I see the best |
| 1:18.6 | in everyone. I might look at watch a true crime drama on Netflix. You know, are they innocent or |
| 1:25.0 | guilty? They're always innocent. I always, always see the best in people and I love people. That's nice. And we actually talked about, why don't you say what you? Well, we're talking about the funny things we do and I often, I went on the dole once when I was at, the dole is for Australia. Yeah, for Australians like on benefits, I guess. When I was sort of 20 years old in England, no, I hadn't been on the doll before. I hadn't had any benefits from the government. And we were laughing because I actually wrote a letter to the government when I was 90 years old to thank them for the free money that they sent in. What a nice person I am. Yeah. I just feel like things like that. I do go a bit soppy over because I just think it's nice that people would do that to support you in your time of need. I mean, I might be completely disguarded. I absolutely agree with it. And I love the fact that you did that. And on my other business, for my business, not my other business, being to single moms, I do a podcast and I often speak |
| 2:18.4 | to Services Australia and the ATO and I'm often thanking them profusely for what they do for us |
| 2:24.1 | as a country and say how lucky I feel to live in such a wonderful country. But how I would |
| 2:29.9 | describe that feeling of too much love is like a sort of microdosing ecstasy. |
| 2:36.1 | Which you shouldn't do. |
| 2:37.7 | You shouldn't do it. |
| 2:38.7 | But what I'm saying is that, you know, you don't need to do drugs. |
| 2:44.3 | Yes. |
| 2:44.8 | Just get sober because it feels like you are doing them. |
