Speaker 1 (00:12):
Welcome to the Bravo Charlie Club podcast, making you
12 and a half minutes moreawesome each week.
He's Ben.
I'm Richard.
Let's go, ben.
How are you this week?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm well, mate, and I'm here to welcome listeners
from Singapore.
As you know, I'm dedicated towelcoming new listener countries
as they join us.
So that would be hello, salamand ni hao.
It's a melting pot ofmulticultural goodness in
Singapore mate, it is indeed Ilove Singapore.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Welcome Singapore, yes, and I think going with only
three welcomes is probably notenough.
Multicultural goodness in insingapore.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So there's indeed, I love singapore, welcome
singapore, yes, and I thinkgoing with only three welcomes
is probably not enough.
But, um, yeah, that that's it,we're in, we're in.
Hey, um, my linkedin feed and Imainly spend my time on social
media, and linkedin, um is allabout self-help industry right
now, and there's just so manyways to cut it up, and I just
(01:05):
wondered is there a way that wecan just filter it down to
something very simple, becausethere's too many feel-good?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
quotes.
There's lots of feel-goodquotes, isn't there?
Really, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Can you help me out?
I just want one thing I canwrite on the wall and just move
away.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So I saw one recently which I did write down.
I kind of scrapbook everythinginto Apple Notes.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
You're the one.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, that's me.
I saw this come through inUncle Sean's five tweets.
Go, uncle Sean.
It said do what makes morningsexciting and nights peaceful I
love it, I love it.
Yeah, I think it.
Um, the credit was to shaneparish, because, uh, uncle sean
(01:54):
always credits his sources, butuh, I think it just.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, just just captured something nice yep, do
what makes mornings exciting, soyou're looking forward to
getting out of bed.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yep exactly, and nights peaceful.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Do what makes nights peaceful, so that you can relax
at the end of a day and get offto sleep ready for the next day.
Get up to do it all over again.
Yeah, that's it, so you'veliterally solved self-help
industry in one sentence.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
There is some other.
You've got to get to that state.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I guess You're not going to make a billion dollars
from that, but I think you'reprobably going to be a much
happier person than some of thestuff I've seen being posted.
Yeah, so, I've got an example ofthat.
I've got a friend who was bornon April 1st, which around the
world is referred to as AprilFool's Day, as you would know.
She's renamed it April GeniusDay and she does not even hear
(02:50):
April Fool's Day.
It just doesn't even occur toher that that's a thing.
She just thinks that April 1stis April Genius Day.
It's her birthday and it's hermindset.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I reckon that just on her birthday that would make
her excited in the morning andpeaceful at night.
I love it.
Yeah, it's just a change inmindset, isn't it Very?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
nice, Very nice yeah easy.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Hey, tell me something.
You traveled a lot.
We spoke about your AliceSprings trip last week.
What do you buy every time youland?
What's the one thing that youjust have to go past a shop and
pick up?
There's always something.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
There is always something.
But even before I check intothe hotel I usually take tea
bags from home, because hoteltea is often terrible and you
don't want to buy 100 tea bagswhile you're out because then
you're just carrying 90 tea bagsaround for a whole trip.
(03:49):
So I take a Ziploc bag, I'llthrow a handful in let's call it
10 tea bags, maybe for athree-day trip.
But I always get milk becausethey give you those little UHT
milk things in hotel rooms.
But you'll get four of them andthat's one cup of tea.
(04:11):
And it doesn't taste that greateither, and it's.
Uht milk and it's UHT milk yeah, so I'll get a 600ml or a
one-litre milk carton and yeah,check in, pop it in the fridge.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So hang on.
You come from the airport.
You're not saying take me tothe hotel.
You're saying take me to7-Eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, if you're in Melbourne, there's a 7-Eleven
every 50 metres.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So it's usually not that challenging.
Yeah, how about yourself, Ben?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Jelly beans, jelly beans yeah, I always land and
buy jelly beans and I have tosend my wife a photo of them.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Have you got a type of jelly bean?
Do you go jelly belly or do youjust go standard glucose jelly
bean or like where do you stand?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
honestly, it's whatever's on sale normally.
To be honest, um, beingdiabetic, you eat enough of them
to not be too too attached toit.
Um, if I'm really on my game, Iactually carry skittles ah,
yeah, okay my go-to because theycome in a pre-packed 15 gram um
.
You know, satchel, yeah, sachet, um, but I have to send a photo
(05:19):
of them to my wife.
To prove that you've purchased Athat I've landed safely and B
that I've got hypoglycemicbackup.
The reason for that is myinsulin pump used to have a
function where it wouldBluetooth to your phone and then
you could add a care partnerand it would send the status to
(05:43):
that.
And obviously I had Tanya onthere while I was doing the beta
test.
Oh yes, and one day I had ahypo and I was in Melbourne and
she had to geolocate me to findout which hotel I was in and
then rang the hotel, asked themto take me up a pineapple juice
(06:05):
or orange juice, and I got aknock on the door.
When you're a hypoglossian,you're basically not very
conscious.
No, you're conscious, unlessit's going really bad, but
you're not aware.
And I still got this knock onthe door and this guy standing
there with a pineapple juicesaying here your wife says to
drink this, and I was like whatmy wife's here, I don't know
(06:28):
what.
But it was all because of thistechnology where she was looking
at my blood glucose levels andgoing, that's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
So was it right?
She was right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I was in all sorts of strife.
Yeah, possibly saved my life.
Wow, that's full on.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's kind of awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Interestingly, I got charged for the pineapple juice,
of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
That'll be $17, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, plus service charge.
But look, honestly, that's sortof become a thing for us.
So I have to tell her I'velanded safely and um, and then
I've got appropriate backup soit works well and um, haven't
had a, haven't had a miss sinceI've certainly had hypos since,
but I've always been prepared soyeah yeah, there you go there
(07:17):
you go um.
Hey, any listener feedbackcoming through the door?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
we did have some listener feedback this week.
Ah Ben may have been slightlydirected at you with Ari your
position on snorkels in pools.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Snorkels.
This is a gift I keep on giving.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's still going.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Hold on, this is the bed.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, he mentioned that.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
if you were truly swimming as if training for
escaping a burning boat.
He asked if you swim withoutgoggles and casual clothes.
Oh, fair call, fair call, yeah,yeah, okay.
So the call out was I wasunhappy with people using
snorkels in pools and I said atthe time that I'd like to think
I was training as if I wasswimming away from a burning
boat.
Yeah, okay, hopefully, ah, wecan put this to bed.
(08:17):
But you're right, I do swimwith goggles and I do wear
normal swimming attire, which, Iwould argue, you could probably
strip down to if you're on aboat anyway.
But yeah, I'll take it on.
Yep, fair call, fair call, I'vegot one here.
El actually asked if you were awindow man, richard.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I am, I am all the way.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yep, and I'm the aisle man all the way.
Who has jurisdiction on theblind in the window?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Well as the window man, I'd say the window man,
yeah, of course.
Well, I think you do.
The window man's got control.
The aisle man can put a requestin.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, how is the request normally met?
Like if someone leans over,they have to pass some sort of
test first.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I don't think I've actually ever had anyone ask me
to close or open the blind,apart from the stewardess.
Yeah, of course.
It's like you know we're comingin for landing.
Please put your blinds up.
What you know?
Noise-cancelling headphones aregreat, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
So there's the ranking.
Right there, it's the aisle manat the bottom, the window man
in the middle and the stewardessat the top.
Yes, yeah, got it, and heavenforbid, we see the pilot.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's not.
Oh good, that's bad, that's notgood yeah, All right, that's
good.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Thanks for the feedback and if you do want to
leave feedback, drop us an emailhello at bravocharlieclub.
Or join us in the Inner Sanctumthe link will be in the show
notes or just respond tocomments.
I noticed at Spotify you canactually leave a comment.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I know We've started to get a few come in.
It's exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I've responded to a couple, which is fun.
Got a beautiful commentactually about our piece on
eulogies.
A gentleman wrote a veryheartfelt message about the
number of eulogies he'd actuallybeen had to give and how it was
an honour and a gift toremember a person.
Really appreciated thatfeedback from listener MR.
(10:22):
Hey mate, the conundrum of theweek what is the appropriate
amount of your neighbour's lawnthat you can mow on the sidewalk
?
The?
appropriate amount yeah, so youknow.
You know, when you got thatadjoining, like do you go all
the way across to their drivewayor do you have to leave a neat
(10:44):
line like what's the what's theetiquette?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
what do you follow?
Well, I think it's a bit likeyou know.
I think it's a bit like thewhole this week, this monday,
next monday kind of thing whereit depends on the day you're
kicking off from as to whetheryou use the this or the next.
So with the, if you've only gota couple of meters between, I
would say, your boundary intheir driveway, you just mow up
(11:10):
to the driveway because it looksbetter.
But if you've got 15 metersthere, you know I'm probably not
going to mow 15 meters.
I mean, maybe I would.
Maybe I would if I'm out therealready, if they brought you a
beer.
If they brought me a beer.
Yeah, I could be bribed.
I'm easily bribable.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, you've proven that across the journey.
Be bribed I'm easily bribable.
Yeah, you've proven that acrossthe journey, so, uh, so I think,
yeah, it's case, case specificit's interesting that you
mentioned that, because our home, the the part to the my
neighbor's lawn, is about threeor four meters, and so it's a no
brainer for me.
Yeah, you just mow it, just mowthat little bit, and then if it
(11:48):
took me more than 90 seconds,I'd be going really slow.
Yeah, um, but our front sectionis 15 meters, like it's 12 or
15 meters, like what what yousaid and my neighbor mows it, so
he's mowing this three or fourmeters section and he's a
champion, like, so I just takehim a bottle of wine from time
to time.
I don't even know if he drinkswine, but um, it's always gone.
(12:09):
Yeah, um, but um, the nicestperson I've probably never
spoken to, yeah yeah he justalways wants to mow my lawn.
So yeah, it's an interestingone.
So we haven't really reallysolved it, though we've just.
It's going to come down to theperson and to your point.
It comes down to the day or howyou're feeling.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But some amount.
I think that there's.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I think you need.
I'll probably challenge you onthat.
I think you need to beconsistent.
If you mowed it one time andthen cut it off the second time,
a regular neighbor would belike hang on, what have I done?
Did I not put the beans out?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
What's going on here?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know, like if you used to give someone a birthday
card and then you stoppedgiving them a birthday card.
Like you know, it's a tough one.
Like I told everyone on my 50thbirthday that I was forgetting
everyone's birthdays.
I was no longer rememberingthem because that was a line in
the sand.
I was very good at rememberingbirthdays up until a certain
point and I was like, nah, I'veturned old.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You've got processes and systems.
Surely they're all in yourcalendar.
You've got a birthday'scalendar.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I know you do I deleted them?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh, did you there, you go.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Most of them, All the people I told I was forgetting
birthdays I deleted theirs.
We've moved away from the lawnpart, but it's an interesting.
That'll bring me on to probablyanother conundrum, which is how
late is too late to mow thelawn Something to unpack next
(13:44):
week.
Yeah, we'll touch on that one.
We'll touch on that one.
Well, that's it, richard.
We've listened to this.
We've been BCC'd on our week Innext week's show.
What we are actually asking iswhat exactly is a money can't
buy experience?
Um, yeah, I'd love to hear yourthoughts on that one.
See you next week.
Bravo, charlie, club out andthat's the pod.

Hey mate, the conundrum of theweek what is the appropriate
amount of your neighbour's lawnthat you can mow on the sidewalk
?
The?
appropriate amount yeah, so youknow.
You know, when you got thatadjoining, like do you go all
the way across to their drivewayor do you have to leave a neat
(10:44):
line like what's the what's theetiquette?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
what do you follow?
Well, I think it's a bit likeyou know.
I think it's a bit like thewhole this week, this monday,
next monday kind of thing whereit depends on the day you're
kicking off from as to whetheryou use the this or the next.
So with the, if you've only gota couple of meters between, I
would say, your boundary intheir driveway, you just mow up
(11:10):
to the driveway because it looksbetter.
But if you've got 15 metersthere, you know I'm probably not
going to mow 15 meters.
I mean, maybe I would.
Maybe I would if I'm out therealready, if they brought you a
beer.
If they brought me a beer.
Yeah, I could be bribed.
I'm easily bribable.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, you've proven that across the journey.
Be bribed I'm easily bribable.
Yeah, you've proven that acrossthe journey, so, uh, so I think,
yeah, it's case, case specificit's interesting that you
mentioned that, because our home, the the part to the my
neighbor's lawn, is about threeor four meters, and so it's a no
brainer for me.
Yeah, you just mow it, just mowthat little bit, and then if it
(11:48):
took me more than 90 seconds,I'd be going really slow.
Yeah, um, but our front sectionis 15 meters, like it's 12 or
15 meters, like what what yousaid and my neighbor mows it, so
he's mowing this three or fourmeters section and he's a
champion, like, so I just takehim a bottle of wine from time
to time.
I don't even know if he drinkswine, but um, it's always gone.
(12:09):
Yeah, um, but um, the nicestperson I've probably never
spoken to, yeah yeah he justalways wants to mow my lawn.
So yeah, it's an interestingone.
So we haven't really reallysolved it, though we've just.
It's going to come down to theperson and to your point.
It comes down to the day or howyou're feeling.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But some amount.
I think that there's.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I think you need.
I'll probably challenge you onthat.
I think you need to beconsistent.
If you mowed it one time andthen cut it off the second time,
a regular neighbor would belike hang on, what have I done?
Did I not put the beans out?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
What's going on here?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know, like if you used to give someone a birthday
card and then you stoppedgiving them a birthday card.
Like you know, it's a tough one.
Like I told everyone on my 50thbirthday that I was forgetting
everyone's birthdays.
I was no longer rememberingthem because that was a line in
the sand.
I was very good at rememberingbirthdays up until a certain
point and I was like, nah, I'veturned old.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
You've got processes and systems.
Surely they're all in yourcalendar.
You've got a birthday'scalendar.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I know you do I deleted them?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh, did you there, you go.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Most of them, All the people I told I was forgetting
birthdays I deleted theirs.
We've moved away from the lawnpart, but it's an interesting.
That'll bring me on to probablyanother conundrum, which is how
late is too late to mow thelawn Something to unpack next
(13:44):
week.
Yeah, we'll touch on that one.
We'll touch on that one.
