Good morning ice cream enthusiasts and doctorenthusiasts. If you love ice cream

(00:24):
and getting medicine, this is thepodcast for you. I am once again
coming live from the road from myholiday, which exciting update for probably no
one but me. I'm probably goingto extend my holiday by another four or
five days. It's sort of whatfate or destiny has decided for me.

(00:44):
And by the way, we're goingto get into the subject of fate,
free will, and destiny a bitlater. But it seems like fate has
decided that I should be staying whereI am for another four nights. So
I think I'm going to take theleap do it, and I'll be on
the road even more. There mighteven be more episodes in this special holiday
season of Doctor ice Cream. Solast night I found out the most embarrassing

(01:11):
thing about myself possible. I'm stillreeling. It's all I can think about.
The Next morning, I was chattingwith my pals around the inside fire.
Last night, my holiday pals,I was eating some ice cream.
Can you believe it the first timeI've eaten ice cream in well, actually,
to be fair, I ate itlast week, but I haven't been
eating it. But doctor ice creamis back on my ice cream. I

(01:32):
was eating some ice cream around thefire, shouting to this new friend that
I made last week, and hesaid to me that my anxiety is the
first thing that people know this aboutme. And I was actually, guys,
I was mortified to my core.I actually wanted to melt like ice
cream. I wanted to disappear intothe freaking ether. I was like,

(01:57):
oh my gosh, I had totake a breath. I had to cover
my face with a pillow. Ihad to die a bit come back to
life. And I said, butI thought I was hiding it really well,
like, I can't believe this.I actually I am putting so much
effort day to day into being anon anxious appearing person. I can't believe
it's not even working, Guys,the amount of effort I'm putting in to

(02:21):
appear not anxious, it isn't evenbloody working, because people apparently can tell
the second I walk into a roomthat I'm extremely anxious and eurotic. And
I was just like, oh mygosh, this is so embarrassing. I
actually just want to go now.I want to go crawl into my cocoon
and never see anyone ever again.And he was like, no, no,
it's fine, Like I'm not sayingit it's a bad thing. I'm

(02:43):
just saying like it's very obvious.And I was just like, this is
so embarrassing, guys. This it'sactually so embarrassing that people can tell how
anxious I am. It makes menot want to be anxious anymore. Because
if there is one thing the doctorhates, it is people knowing anything about
me. I do not like tobe known. I like to be a

(03:07):
mysterious, unknowable quantity and the factthat people can sort of I can walk
into a room and people can seethis very intimate thing about me. But
to be fair, I share mypodcast on the internet. I know,
but I thought in oh magplay sweepingme, whoa hang on, well that's
coming back take three? Well thatwas a little bit of life excitement,

(03:28):
a little bit of life danger onthe road to Doctor ice Cream's life in
danger from a sweeping Magpie. Itis spring in Australia and I am in
the middle of the country. Imean, not the country of Australia.
I mean I'm in the middle ofcountry. I'm inland. I'm rural.
I'm the rural Dura. And thereis magpie sweeping me and my dog.
We don't love it. There's onethat's particularly sort of a little bit of

(03:51):
a psycho out here. There's justone. And I forgot about it and
I walked under the tree. Whoop, see daisies. What was I talking
about? Yeah, I was talkingabout the I like to be just a
very mysterious vixen, a sort ofwater siren, but no one really knows
too much about. You might hearmy song, you might, you might
see my silhouette, but you can'tknow me. You can't know me.

(04:13):
And the fact that people can knowme, I can walk in the room,
I can be like, oh,she's an anxious little She's an anxious
little bitch. That is so horrifyingto me. I was absolutely like,
I'm just I was horrified to mycore and I was thinking, Okay,
well, I can't have this.I can't have this happening. I need
to I just need to fix myI need to stop being anxious. It's
enough, guys, it's enough tomake me just want to stop. It's

(04:38):
enough to just make me be themost chilled person on the planet so that
people can never perceive anything about me. However, I was also reading a
space let's talk about destiny. Iwas reading this book last night called the
Book of Destiny, so you mayhave heard of it. You find you
go into this book and you findyour exact birth date, so your day,

(04:59):
month, and year, and youturn to a page and that tells
you the biggest trial in your lifethat you are meant to overcome to fulfill
your destiny. And mine was,guess what mine was to stop being so
bloody, mysterious and difficult to getalong with and difficult to communicate with,
and to be an open, communicative, perceivable person. And I was like,

(05:23):
fuck no, I shot the bookput it away. I was like,
I'm not doing that. I cannotdo it. So I don't know,
is that my life destiny? Itsort of opened the conversation with me
and my two friends here because Isaid to them, well, there's no
such thing as free will. Anyway. This book is called read it,
it's called the Book of Destiny.It's not called the Book of Free will.

(05:45):
I was like, we can't changeyourselves. I can't suddenly become prime
minister, we can't suddenly become DollyParton. We just are who we are.
And one of the people agreed withme, and the other did not.
She didn't like it. So itdid end up in a little bit
of it was getting a bit nothated. It's a bit triggering for everyone.
I could tell people really wanted tobe on the right side of rightness

(06:10):
in this conversation. And I said, you know what, I would love
to be wrong about there not beingfree will. I don't believe in this
point of time that there is freewill. I think everything's destiny. Everything's
laid out when we're born. Youget given a little life path, a
map, and you've got to doit. And I would love to be
wrong. I would love to thinkthat anything is possible. I would love

(06:34):
to be wrong about that. I'mnever I'm always open to being wrong.
That is one thing that I cansay is a positive afraid about the doctor.
I'm open to being wrong. SoI would love to be wrong about
that. But I'm just not sure. I mean, this book was called
the Book of Destiny, and thatsaid that my destiny. Oh well,

(06:56):
I did say my destiny was tobe open more open to others thoughts.
So there you go. Maybe Iam fulfilling my destiny on this holiday.
I'm more open to what other peopleare saying. It's said I need to
be open to compromise because, asI always say on this podcast, guys,
I always say, you cannot controlthe doctor. I can't be told

(07:19):
what to do. And it's notbecause you know, I'm such a rebel.
I'm such an absolute like rebel withouta cause. It's actually because it's
anxiety that's making me not want tobe told what to do. At the
end of the day. It's justa feeling of like I can't let any
want to tell me what to dobecause it's unsafe. I can only trust
myself. But apparently in the Bookof Destiny, I'm meant to be open

(07:41):
to other people's ideas. I'm allowedto compromise. If they are telling me
what's to do in quotes, maybethey're not really telling me what to do.
They're just offering, you know,some sort of suggestion or advice or
instruction, and I could just say, you know what, okay. Because
this is the twist This is thetwist and the tail because me saying no,

(08:05):
fuck you, you can't tell mewhat to do, that's essentially me
telling them what's to do. It'sprojection Ville. Oh my gosh. Anyways,
that is the Doctor ice Cream Showfor today. A few things to
ponder. Do we have free will? Is it extremely embarrassing for people to
know that you're an anxious mess?Yes? It is? And how can

(08:30):
we fulfill our destiny in the matrixon this planet Earth? Until next time?
