0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of iWay with Jameela Jamel, a podcast against shame. I hope
0:04.8	you're well. I'm a, I'm in a good mood because I've had an extreme loose cheaper 24 hours and if
0:11.2	you were following me on Instagram this week, you'll know what I mean because I got to go to a film
0:15.8	premiere very clear that I haven't been to one of those in over two years and that I was extremely
0:25.6	star-struck by everyone there from all of my behaviour including the vaguely disturbing video of me
0:33.6	trying to just sniff a bit of the air near Keanu Reeves just because Keanu Reeves. I can't believe
0:41.6	he was that. I can't believe I'm in a film with him. It's an animated film. It's called Beliga

1:40.7	and he's like the last of the great movie stars now. He's one of the biggest stars in the world
1:45.9	and he's done it with however becoming a dick, without ever abusing his power, he's such an
1:51.3	on-problematic faith. We all have especially met so much to learn from the way he carries himself
1:57.7	and how he uses how big and powerful he is not to make other people feel small but to make them
2:02.9	feel as big as him. He's just pumping everyone up around him and I got to see him again
2:08.9	last night at the premiere and I couldn't believe that I'd gone from having a three minute interview
