0:00.0	And we were really lucky that we were still able to get Mickey bars. I think it was during our cruise that they disappeared. We had the last ones. We actually ordered room service about 10winding travel, as you can tell from hearing my voice instead of Brian's. I am solo hosting
0:39.2	today. Brian's got some stuff to take care of outside of the podcast. And so I am solo,
0:46.2	but I'm not really solo because I've got a great guest with me today. I'm super excited because
0:51.2	I'm talking to somebody who is all the way across the Pacific Ocean from me right
0:55.8	now. In fact, she's a day ahead. So I'm talking, she's talking to us from the future right now
1:01.7	because it's Sunday in the great country of Australia. And I'm excited to welcome. And it's Sunday,
1:08.6	at Saturday here in the Seattle area, so excited to welcome
1:11.9	to the show for the first time. Kath, welcome to the show, Kath. Thank you. So nice to have you.
1:18.7	Thank you for joining me from Down Under. Where in Australia do you live? So I'm in Warwick. It's a country

1:46.9	for many years? Is Disney a new thing in your life? How has Disney played a role in your life?
1:53.1	Well, I think growing up in Australia, we were peak in the Disney animated movie,

2:03.3	anything Disney because it was so far away, so expensive to get there. And it was never really on
2:09.1	my radar, except in 2019, my daughter's dance studio, whoops, planned to do dance around the
2:15.5	world at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. So we spent a year of saying
2:19.6	no to absolutely everything that my daughters asked for and I kept telling them if I say no to
2:25.2	everything, we can say a really big yes at the end. So the girls trained for a year and we took
2:31.0	around about 20 dancers from two little country, Queensland towns, to dance at

2:37.1	They danced in California Adventure.
