right for some provis Welcome bro, Thank you guys for
having me almost. I always thought everybody forgot about me.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Look at us. No, it's just me and a Listen
your story views. They've died down a little bit my life,
Is it true?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
After you moved you like, oh the insights, I'm looking
as good as the history.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You know what, though, I think half of it is
just me overthinking things, like nobody wants me anybody. But
it's nice to know that I'm mad as to some
people like you.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, you do matter, and you're still on the circuit. Yeah,
you're still doing things, getting getting there again. You haven't
completely died off. No completely right now, I'm just you know,
I'm just kind of I'm just chilling out. I'm just
getting ready for my next move, you know. And we
are excited about the next move, hate some every episode
we share about what we love about home. So whatever
home is to you, whether that's where you currently stay,
(02:38):
where you were raised, what is home and what do
you love about it? Alyssa and I will start off
with what we love about home this week, And what
I love about home is whenever there's like a family gathering,
so a Christmas or an Easter, you have that one
cousin who you can just unload on and you can
tell them more the family tea. Nothing's going to get out.
You guys are like two peas and a while everyone
(03:00):
else is doing their little thing. That's what I love
about home. I've got. Actually, I like to think that
I'm like the the bridging cousin between everyone else.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Your glue. I am the glue. I am the glue.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Actually you kind of are actually from what I've seen
of your family dynamic very.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Switzerland because you know me, I'm a fense citizen. I
don't like taking sides. So everyone can feel free to
come to me rant vents as they please, and then
they can walk away knowing that I'm not going to
spread dirish because I'm just that kind of guy.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So Marini used to not be a Switzerland.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I used to be a hater. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But I'm wondering when people are venting to you, do
you take a side in your head?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
No, I don't, even you don't even take a side.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Of your head anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
No, I think what happens, It's become so entrenched. Gee
was yeah, I don't know was what was the turning point? When?
When did it all click? Because I need to know
because I'm a hater.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But I'm a hater. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I love to hate, like can you Clement?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But it's not my colleague, you are what happens your
friend will lobe.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
No, I actually got a lobotomy, you know. Mean I'm
so passive right now. I remember when I used to
like make these big moves and yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It used to be worse than me. And now I'm
just completely Yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
And that's what I love about Home this week? What
do you love about home this week?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Girl? It's controversial, it's a hot take, but I'm loving
Weymouth Beach.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh okay, okay? Explained to us please, I would love
to know this.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I just feel like I wish I want a mission
to make many deal a walkable city because I don't
drive him. I don't have a license of any kind,
so it's either walking or it's public transport. And with
the beautiful spring weather we've been having, just been so
nice to get out. They go for a walk. So
I feel like anywhere that I can go. This includes
like the gardens, Nathan Homestead, anywhere that doesn't feel like
(05:04):
it's just like a concrete jungle, which sometimes to me
money deal. I can feel just like concrete. Yes, anywhere
I can go that doesn't feel like that is ideal,
which is Waymouth Beach. But you have to hold your
nose the entire time because it does kind of smell
a little bit. But it's kind of got a bit
of like Clinton Gin say quiet. You know, there's just
something about it. That's what I love about the news.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
There are good I will say the best sun sense
because we have a friend but Ussie who lives quite close.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah technically, but I personally wouldn't because I'm pretty sure
it used to not be that color for a while.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, we Mouth Beeach is interesting. You know,
like I just this is upbreaking noose. Had my first
patch there.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
First.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You know, there's a little there's a little kind of
you know, seating arrangement. You know, it's just on the
little cliff there. You probably will past and go damn,
that's what you're talking are going to remember this. They
had the first patch then I was five years old.
(06:16):
It was island was clinging room. Sorry, sorry my bad.
I started. How many people make that? Can we start?
I had no I used to go bad. I used
to love going to like Weymouth Beach and just jumping
in the water when I was younger. But then it's
(06:38):
just so close to the airport. It's like, I don't
know what's going on here. But I think they cleaned
it up and they looked after a little bit more.
They got like, yeah, this there is that that little cove.
But then you go over to the waddle Downs area. Yeah, beautiful.
That check is really nice. But for Taranaki, like going
back home, it's just the moment. Man, Like that singer
(06:59):
is in press and every morning and you don't actually
see it all the time because it's under you know,
like it just gets cloaked. Let's put puts us call
a y on and you can't see it, and then
it just you wake up in the morning and it's
just there just looking at you. It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So that's that's my and you know, I feel I
feel my two I feel that's where I'm from and
it's Yeah. It was probably one of the best moves
I made in my life was to pick up, you know,
everything I moved, moved my my family and my my
kids and my Missa's down there. Yeah. So it's been
really nice. Have you you guys have been back to.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Someone I was really really young, but may As went
back recently.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, I went in January and I'll be there again
in December.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And yeah, you feel it straight when you get off
the plane, I would say, can you feel a sense
of grounding That is just indescribable.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Actually, it makes you feel like maybe magic is real,
you know what I mean? Like all these things is
like nah, but when you actually feel it, you haven't
felt for a long time. I went back to telling
for the first time in like ten years. I had
a speaking arrangement in or two New Plymouth and I
touched down and I thought, oh, yeah, it is what
this is where I'm from. The minute I got off
the plane, I saw the mountain and I just was like, Wow,
(08:11):
what the hell is happening to me? You know? And
then that's when the wheel started getting the motion, like
maybe we should think about moving down here. That was
the moment and it's cheaper it live down here, so yeah, yeah,
but it is, it is. There is the thing. Yeah,
I don't know what it is, and I can't wait
for you to go back and you can see what
you can kind of you can't even like describe it.
Yeah you can, you'll feel it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah. I received my mud little earlier this year, and
that seems like that magical feeling so strong. I'm going
back in February, so that would tri start my PhD.
So I feel like it would be a really good
grounding experience before quite at you.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Know what that's I love that flex doing my pH
You better keep flicking there. Could say that nobody and
you know, it's not even it's not even about having it.
It's around the discipline of care, you know what I'm saying.
That takes a lot of hard work and discipline to
get to get there, because once you finish, like I've
(09:07):
got my degree in teaching. Once I got there, I
was like, there's no way I'm going back. I'm good,
I'm not going back. And then you look at people
that are go making like what the hell is going
wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I know I do have moments of doubt where I'm like,
am I really going to do this? And I'm like no,
I'm pretty sit on it. I think I'm going to
do it, and then you flicks on us like this,
oh man, and you know we're about there life.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Like this, thank you?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Do you miss aland at all I kind of do.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
There is a little bit of fomo, I suppose because
I was so I was on the go a lot
up here, Like I was seven days a week up
doing breakfast radios, finish doing breakfast radio, go to sky,
do crowdgos, wild, edit my own socials, do the bakery,
run do the you know. I was just so on
the go, and it was almost like I was masking,
(10:07):
like I used that work to mask, you know, how
much that I missed my family. And then once I
actually got home, then I realized, you know, it's yeah,
it was masking, and I missed my kids a lot,
and now I get to be with them. It's it's beautiful,
it's so nice. Yeah, it's very yeah, but I do miss.
I sit back and I look at opportunities that like, man,
(10:28):
that could have been me, you know, oh man, I
could have been a line for something like that, or
oh man, that was really cool. That they did that.
I would have loved to be a part of that.
But it all kind of goes away and it flies away,
and it floats away. When I get to take my
son to school, Yeah, and I get and I get
to pick him, you know, walk him home, and he
tells me about all the drama's going on in his life.
And same with my partner when she's telling me about
(10:50):
you know, what's going on in her world, where it's
different when it was just on you know, Facebook or
over FaceTime. But yeah, it kind of all floats away
and it's it's yeah, it's all worth it now.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
When it comes to media and like social media gigs,
we have found they're not super paid amazingly well, and
they're also they can be quite energy consuming. So a
lot of the time it really is a labor of love.
Like we say, like iraw is like our little baby,
and it's like our passion. It's the thing we love
the most. How do you maintain the passion for all
(11:23):
the copoppa that you do, or like each copepa when
you're like, frek, this is so energy consuming. I don't
know how to how to balance it all.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think in terms of like like your passion projects
what you guys are saying, like you'll find a way
Like I know that sounds really like you know, combayra
about it, but like I found a passion for interfering
people because I go, Okay, I'm going to try this podcast.
Then it started getting a little bit of momentum and
I was like cool, I'm just going to keep doing
it because I love it. And it's really about finding
(11:52):
what you love and just sticking with it. Like there's
a lot of people and like what you actually love,
you know what I mean, some people that go, oh,
I love this, but in actuality are you will you like, well,
you do everything in your power to make this happen.
Like there's a couple of things like in my life,
like I started off as a basketball coach. I love basketball.
It was my heart and software as as long as
(12:13):
I can remember. And I got to a point where
it was like cool, like is the game Like I
love the game, but is it loving me back enough
and enough especially enough to like support my family? And
it did for a long time, Like I was, you know,
I did a lot of basketball coaching for five years.
I was that was my main thing. And then I
was like no, but the genesis of that was connecting
(12:35):
with kids and helping them get to where they need
to get to. And then that was my teaching rule.
So I was like cool, at least I still get
to do that. And but like, yeah, if you actually
really love something like it, just like you'll just find
a way to make it work. Like you know, like
I love interviewing people. I absolutely love it. And you know,
(12:56):
like being on the radio, like it was a little
bit of that big because you know, like you have
three minutes to interview someone. It's not enough, you know,
but you still get a little bit of this, a
little bit of that. And then I got to be
on the CRUG as well, which is you know, like
funny interviews, which is what I was really good at.
So you know, like it And it's weird how the
universe kind of like rewards you for that, Like if
(13:17):
you love something so much and you don't let anything
like affect it and you just keep through all the
highs and nose, you just keep going with it. Yes,
so somehow we will repay you somehow, And it's cool, man,
Like it's it and you know, like this is that
whole manifesting stuff, and that's a true thing, like if
you put it out there, but if you put it
out there and you don't work out at it, and
(13:39):
like regardless of what people say, you know, Like I've
had heaps people like hey, like you interviewing your mates
and I was like nah, but like just you know,
just hold up. I'm getting I'm crafting. I'm I'm shoppening
my Samurai with Katana, right, and then when the opportunity comes, man,
it's going to be ready and it'll be ready for
me to slice it. And I'm living proof of that.
(14:00):
Like I had the bakery run and that was me
just interviewing people eating pies, and then like I just
use that to get better being in front of camera.
I use that to be better at talking to people,
to relating, to be able to host something, to be
able to wrap things up, to find common interest with
people when I'm when I'm talking, and also to audience.
(14:21):
And then I got that Katina wished up enough that
when I got an opportunity or crowd go as well. Man,
I was straight Leonardo, Man, I was Ninja turtling it up.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, And that's what's so cool about this is that
you guys are connecting with so many a vast array
of like guess and you're only it's just repetition, like
you're just getting better and that's cool man, like and
because you love it, it's gonna just keep getting better
and better. Yeah, there will be no, oh, got another
podcast to do. It's like, nah, cool man, we got
(14:54):
We've got such and such on this one, you know,
and it's yeah, and even like I know that you
guys knows having to get guests on and that's hard.
But then you start figuring out how to you know,
invest time into people that when you ask them, you
know it's not favor exchanging, but when you're like cool man,
they're like, oh hell yeah. Like with me, I'm like
I get asked to do podcast a lot, but like
(15:17):
I'm like, do you actually love it or are you
just doing it to get somewhere? And I can tell
like with you guys, like man, that's why I was like,
let's go. Yeah, you love what I love? You know. Yeah.
Yeah it was a long answer.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
No, that was great, but man, it's giving. Mister UGGI,
I felt like just some power waxed that ax.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You spoke about the idea of opportunity and opportunities pretending themselves.
We have suffered a lot in the past, not anymore,
but a lot in the past from like imposter syndromes,
even something that you've felt like when an opportunity came,
we like, oh, I'm definitely not ready for that, but
I'll give it a go.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
An you out er man. I So my one of
my very first like real jobs was that Charli Euston
family in Weymouth, right at the boys' home. So this
is like the top two percent of kids. There are
just the naughtiest kids that you know, they're not naughty,
they misunderstood, yeah, right, and there their products of their
environment and their upbringing. And you know, like to I
(16:17):
was young, I was like twenty years old and these
kids are like sixteen seventeen, right, they weren't too they
weren't too younger than me. And I figured out, like
I just have to put an old ego on. I
have to go in and it's not a fakeness. It's
like this is me but turned up, and I need
to play this role really well. And if I can
play this role, then I'll be fine and I can
(16:40):
get through the shift. None of these kids are going
to try and throw chairs at me. And I'm not
going in there like, oh, you know, like to be
all tough. I'm in there to go okay, I'm psychologically
we're gonna be okay. You know. I'm here to work
for you. You're here to work for me. We're here
to coexist in this place, and there's really rough environment,
but we're here to co let's work together. And that
(17:03):
was that was the genesis for me, because I would like,
I would pretend I was the rock, right because the
rock was so witty and quickly and he had to
think on his toes all the time. I don't want
to do the people's elbow and all that stuff. I
wasn't here to mock anybody, but I was here to
be charismatic, likable, and also be strong and firm with stuff.
(17:26):
And you're not gonna mess with me. We can be friends,
but we could be friendly, but we're not friends, you
know what I mean. And that was that was the
moment when I was like, cool, I know how to
turn this mask on and off. And there's so many times,
like there's been times where I'm like, there's no way
I'm sitting here like I'm like, I was at the
USC two nine three, and I'm sitting there and there's
(17:47):
like all these ESPN analysts and Dana White's there, and
like all these people are in this room and there's
this kid from Clinton that like legit shouldn't be there,
you know, And but I put the mask on, like nah,
I'm I'm here and I'm going to kill like and
so I developed that skill and I put it on
(18:07):
when I need it, And and Kraug's was exactly the same,
like every time they were like, cool, we're out, we're
doing vox pops. Sweet, put that mask on. I need
to be charismatic. I need to be funny, I need
to be witty, and I need to be strong. And yeah,
that was my that was my go to. I watched
a lot of wrestling growing up, so I was like,
I know the rocks. He would say something lightless and yeah,
(18:28):
it was it was my I don't want to say
coping mechanism, but it was the way that it was
my armor. Yeah. So the inside, like you know, Tom normally,
you know, would be if some kid goes up to
him and says, man, if you're not telling me to
go to fucking beard can I, Yeah, I can't tell
me to go to fucking bed. And then I'm sitting
there like in my head, I was like, get your
(18:49):
fucking ass and bed. I put the mask on, and
I was like, brother, I know you want to go
to bed. You need to go to bed with your
cranky ass. I would start doing stuff like then I
got really good at it, and then yeah, I just
continued it through teaching and through through you know, coaching
as well, and yeah, and then to the day. I
(19:10):
was like, it's like when you go on ere, you
just put this mask on and you're like, cool, I
need to be we'll see and charismatic in the way
I went. Yeah, And it's not like it's not like
one of those alter ego things. No, it's just like
I turn it on, turn it off kind of a dude.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah. We always say like, obviously it's us on the podcast,
but it's just like a maybe like a more elevated
version of us. We're not really like this engaged in
real life, like whoa, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Obviously it's just like a little bit different. But you
do see that, like I mean I've seen it. I
see it out in the landscape, like there are people
like you know, it will turn on and will turn off,
but like sometimes with the turn when the mask comes on,
you just think, oh that's a bit that's a bit weird.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Well that's completely different.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But I know it's just turned up a little bit
with some some skill abilities. It's not like I'm a
different person. Yeah, but with like crowd is as a
perfect example, because like I'm you know, I'm at the
Warriors game for the whole game, but I know that
it's only going to be one minute forty clip right
or two minutes if I'm lucky. So my job is
(20:17):
to just go hard out as much as I can
and get as much things, and then when we get
to ed a sweet then I'm like cool, check this in,
check that da da da da da, and then I
then you know, it's condensed. But if I had to
do that now I was live streaming it, you know,
I'd be exhausted. Yeah, but yeah, you're so right. It's
it is. It's a it's an interesting thing, and I
(20:38):
think a lot of us have it, but we just
don't acknowledge it, you know. Yeah, yeah, you are right.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
It's sort of like a performance. Yeah, like you're a performer, Right,
so you're in front of the camera. You're going to
put a show on for the camera.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Right, Yeah, but if you know yourself, like if you
know that, like because I knew that, I don't want
to say character, but that's been me from when I
was twenty put this mask on. So when I got
an opportunity on crowd, it was like sweet, like okay,
mean I just put the mask on again and then yeah,
take the mask off, go back to regular life. Wait
for the morning, five o'clock in the morning, get ready,
(21:14):
put the mask bag on, do breakfast radio. Take it off,
have something to eat.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Guy?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
And yeah, it was just a regalar thing, but it
was conditioned. I was really conditioned for it. So so yeah,
a lot of people and I put it on, Like
when I see people in public that are like, hey,
beggary runs, you know, I put it back on and
I'm like, yeah, brother, what's up? You know. And it's
not like it's not hard to do because you see
a lot of people they are like they'll play a
carriage that it's like so foreign to who they are.
(21:41):
But no, this is like really who this is just
me turned up to eleven, you know, and yeah, but yeah,
it does get Yeah, it can get quite exhausting at times. Yeah,
you know when your social battery kind of runs out
and you're just like I just want to go home.
Yeah please, Yeah, I'm just eating my butter chicken here.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
So but yeah, but it's you know, it's kind of
like the life you kind of choose, especially the bakery,
and like, like I get.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That more than anything I was gonna say, is that
the one that people recognizing the most.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, it's like bakery run and then crowd the two
and then occasionally annoy with him, like you'll get the
listeners that come up, but mostly it's bakery Run. And
then it's the interactions is like, you know, you're funny,
and then it's like, what's.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Your favorite part.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I've got Bernard's like, I've got the bakery. I want
you to They've got to try it. You've got to
try this one. Brother can be but man, I get
it all the time, and it's always on the DM.
It's like a voice message or somebody waits for me,
Like I met them all with my kids and and
I know, like I used to be quite oh man,
(22:47):
but hanging out with Reagan Reagan is very good at
dealing like he was, he's had it for a long time,
and like I would, I would see what he would
do and like that's cool, and then I would put
my own little spin on it and say like yeah.
And I have like pre pre like pre written answers
to ask me a question. I'll give you what do
(23:08):
you think would be the one? Like if somebody like
approached me to talk about bakery, and what would be
the number one question that asked me? Right?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I don't know, like what's your favorite pie?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Man? It depends on the days like a Friday, you know, yeah,
and I and then I go, well, what's yours? And
then you know, like a girl. The other one is
the the one that I get a lot is have
you been to So's your Who's your bakery? Miss?

the list. So if I've ever seen it's on the list. Yeah,
(24:11):
my bad. Yeah, I'm just exposing myself here. There is
no lists, no list, because it's my show. Now, there's
no less because I go where I want. Yeah, we
go where a guest wants to go, and if they
don't have one, then I find out where they live
and then I go, yeah, there's a bakery we've been
ticking about. It's close to your house because then it's
(24:31):
easier for them to get to and fro. And then
we don't have to go, hey, can you come all
the way out to dairy flats? And everyone? Now we
just go yo, like, where do you live?

By the way, they were going to like because we
were going to do a pie. We were going to

Like I said, thats my boy. But like when we
did the Bakery one with him, the first that was
the first like massive guess we ever had. That moment
(28:31):

were going. But I didn't know him from a Burrow soap.
And if you watch that episode, I've watched it back,
I'm like, bro, you should have got knocked the hell
out things he was saying. But he was so kind
and courteous and he was like, haha, that's funny. But
I was like, I know, if anybody else did that,
But I get away with a lot of things because
I'm chicky and I kind of can work with that.

All right, man, let's get I've never told anything. Excuse excuse,
so like so okay, so I have to So my

Dennis is not. Actually my mum got married.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I know mister Dennis.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yes, yeah, so Dennis is my last name, and mister
Dennis is what the people know me as. But Dennis
was like my mom got married and didn't change her
name when she got the wor so her ex husband's
name is then okay, then she had me and then
she's and then my father didn't hang around and so
(30:09):
she's like okay, and then the doctor just put my
put my last time and she didn't change it in time,
and then she just rolls off it like she's like
all right, sweet days and so like so I'm like, no,
that's not even my name. I was like, okay, if
I could choose a mean name, what would it be?
And then it was my xbox name originally, and then
(30:30):
I was like you know what, I'm just gonna and
then my my my, my twitch name was simprovised, and
I had people coming over from that, and then I
was like, I'm just gonna ride with it. I'm just
going to roll with it. And then yeah, so I
just anything I do is just timprivisee.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah, like as in temprovised, improvised, smprising on words.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, So that was all it was. We are going
to move on to our rapid fire, CAMU. Now we reckon.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
You are that man interviewing truly, and we want to
reverse it. We want to flip the script. So we're
going to get you to interview us. All right, so
you get to ask one question of Alyssa, one question
of me.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And then one question to us both like as a collective.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
All right.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, So you get three questions.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I get three questions, and do I get judges? Off? This?
Were you out of you give me a you know grade?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I feel like you're stalling a grading.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's already said, but we want to see how exactly
good you are? This is on the flys why I've
not heard anything here? Okay, all right, cool? Coming over
straight with you? Okay?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
What is your what's your relationship in terms of like
mentally getting on the same kind of wavelength? Was your parents?
Do they understand like who you are as a person
and as a achiever.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
I suppose that's.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
That is a good ask question.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well, I was raised just by my mom. My parents
were before I was born, so I've always known two homes.
So I feel like my mom gets me. I don't
know if she quite understands everything I do, because I
do a lot of different things, and I don't always
know she understands the motivations behind things because she is
Balani and a lot of my stuff is motivated by
(32:09):
the fact that I'm a say some war, but she
understands my passion and she's also where I get my
brain from, so she gets the drive and the ambition
behind a.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Lot of what I do.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
My dad then, on the flip side, because he is
the saone gets the passion for the culture and the
passion for education because that was one of the reasons
he moved to New Zealand from sam War. But I
don't know if he quite understands the way that I
choose to let those manifests. Like I think sometimes he's
like why a podcast or but he's also My parents
(32:42):
are quite old, like I would say that within my generation.
They're probably like an older parent, So I think there's
modern things that they don't quite understand. But I think
they get me in different ways. But my mum gets
me like more so than my dad, I would say,
just because she like she raised me, I am her
in so many ways.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Man, that's the suck that I don't have more questions,
you know what I mean? That is because I was yeah,
and then I just like knowing means I'll just come
up with the most smuttiest questions. It was like, man,
why can't you ask me? Okay? So man, alright, do
(33:26):
you feel like in terms of like de la cell
gets a bad rap in terms of like what's the
word inclusivity? I suppose with you know, especially around today's
day and age with LGBTQ stuff. Was Dela CL being
so open minded to other things?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Because I feel as if Dela CL was the one
that was like yo, like that's who we are as people,
whereas other ones, especially in auto, across the across the
railways and also that the vibe. But did you did
you feel that as a student, I love Dela C.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Yeah, I think I felt like I felt acceptance, to
be honest, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because that a
lot of other schools they don't. But I felt Dela
CEL was the actual, I want to say, like pioneer
when it comes to like acceptance, quite a welcoming school.
I want to say that I felt quite revered by
(34:27):
my peers, like there was like a there was a
culture of respect, like no matter what your background was,
like who you were, what your identity markers were, you
were just respected and it was quite mutual with everyone
in the year. Level never got into drama over things
like that. I felt validated because the staff wouldn't object
(34:50):
to who I was. Mind you, I wasn't as open
with my sexuality as I am now, but back then
even like I didn't have any fears of being myself,
my true authentic self.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Can I ask question, yeah, where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
What?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
They're not giving a fuck? Oh, because that's a that
that's that that is an onion that doesn't get unraveled
very much like there's a lot of people that are proud,
and there are a lot of people that aren't. Yeah,
not that there aren't, but they just don't know how
to put it out to the universe. I suppose, Yeah,
but where did where did your one come from? There?
(35:27):
This is.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I think just going to d Lacel being it was
a desol One high school predominantly Maldi, but Pasifica just
felt like all the odds were stacked against us and
so we weren't going to throw stones at each other.
So whenever we walked outside those school gates, it was
kind of like it's that brotherhood that you talk about,
(35:52):
Like all us aliens know what I'm talking about, but
like this that camaraderie and you guys are outside the
school care and if I don't know, and saying that
there was like a huge culture of mocking and I
will say that that built a tough skin with me
and I think that's just yeah, the south Side schooling experience.
(36:15):
But yeah, all those things contributed to why I didn't
give a fuck that it.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Is following up questions. This is not my podcast, but
I mean another like another realm of that question, like
with you and your identity? Ye, when was that for you?
The time where you you don't get you didn't give
a fuck? You're like, yo, this is who I am.
(36:40):
Fuck y'all, this is who I am? And where did
that come from?
Speaker 3 (36:45):
I think that not giving a fuck like is like
right now, like that's a kine season me thing, Like
I've achieved so much. I look back at what I've
been able to do, and it's because that was me.
That's not because I was trying to be anyone else
hide from who I am. It's because I embraced who
I am. That got me to where I am today. Yeah,
(37:08):
and so I really am am.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I not giving a fuck?
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Era grow up in the gym posted off on the
gym young yeah twenty three twenty four man to.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Be able to have that ability and I get it
from both of you, right. I know that you know
who you are, man, I don't know who the hell
I was till I was like thirty, Am I a
teacher and this something there? And to be able to
like really kind of just lean into who you are.
It is something that a lot of people don't get
to the oldest. So it's really really cool to be
(37:39):
in a room of people like that. So yeah, but no, yeah, anyway,
christ Man, how am I going right now? What guests
host them mixtu? Yeah yeah, let's be honest. You nearly
