Speaker 1:No, there you go, you're done, you've done it, so do you have that pivotal moment.
Speaker 2:That's what I want, I think but uh, well, right now I could have been in australia. Yeah, my ex-boyfriend was australian. He moved over here and the whole plan was for us to go over there and to live our life in australia and okay.
Speaker 1:so let's say you've done it, you've moved over to Australia. What's happening now?
Speaker 2:I'd have a nice tan.
Speaker 1:That's it.
Speaker 2:I want a piece, Dave, Congratulations.
Speaker 1:Australia. You're known for giving Charlotte a tan.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:What would you be doing? What would you Do you reckon? Obviously we don't know. But what do you reckon you would be doing if you had have taken that leap to piss off Dan and I?
Speaker 2:No, I really have no idea, you know, I just Would you be in sales?
Speaker 1:Would you be yeah?
Speaker 2:I'd be in the same career. Yeah, Do you?
Speaker 1:reckon yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm good at what I do.
Speaker 1:I think I'd be at a beach bar.
Speaker 2:No it's not like that in Melbourne.
Speaker 1:Well, you said Australia, so I went straight to Bar and Bay. No yeah, it's not there, no, or where's Home and Away filmed Melbourne, no, it's called somewhere though, isn't it? It's called something, bay.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're on about Home and Away. Yeah, you are Sorry, I'm on Neighbours. Where's?
Speaker 1:Neighbours filmed. Neighbours is Melbourne, yeah, but where's the street Randall Randall I have no idea. Oh God, you keep leading me down the garden path and leaving me there. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I just can't believe I'm doing it with my hair like this, your hair looks fine.
Speaker 1:In an alternate timeline you probably could have done your hair better.
Speaker 2:But here we are in this one. The thing is, you know, when it's in the lounge you think that you're just at home chilling. Well, you are yeah but it goes on social media, doesn't it? So anyway, guys, please just don't bully me.
Speaker 1:I'll put a hair filter on you, you can have a pink wig or something. So you're in Australia, you're doing sales. How would your life look? How would you be as a person?
Speaker 2:Do you think you'd still be the way you are? Do you think you'd be one of those people who pick up an accent within a week and you'd have a wonky, weird accent? I mean, um, I don't know, I'd be in australia. I'd still sound english. Um, I'd like to be in a house that had loads of glass. Okay, like overlooking the beach, but that wouldn't be happening because because the whole thing is the whole aim was to have his parents house okay so it sounds sinister no, no, that's no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:They were gonna move somewhere else and yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah, or right now I could be married with kids if I stayed with my other ex-boyfriend and I'd hate that thought, oh goodness, sorry for those kids on that timeline we were never meant to be well, that's it.
Speaker 1:that's the whole thing. But that's what my versions of this are that I I flunked out of Loughborough Uni. My class attendance was about 12% and I was not in the right headspace for it. I got to like I blew into like 19 stone. I sat in my room. I wouldn't even go down for dinners, right, I was in absolute shambles. I basically did the freshest 14, but did the freshest like four or five stone and then just stayed in my room horrendous time at a proper low. However, if I hadn't have had that low, I wouldn't have left, signed up the following year with a friend at Derby Uni, wouldn't have gone to Indiana for university, wouldn't have met Brie, wouldn't have had the kids Right. So that's that timeline that I ended up on. However, I look at the other times where I didn't even want to go to uni in the first place.
Speaker 1:I look at the fact that a guy came in one day to a class that I did skip before quite a few times at Derby Uni yeah. Because I couldn't be honest fairy tale writing because I was doing creative writing. So I was like this class sucks, so I'd often not bother going. And a guy walked into that class one day. One of the um american studies teachers it was like right, we're doing a student transfer. If any, anyone fancy it, come to my office.
Speaker 1:That kind of thing, proper casual, so cool proper casual, if anyone fancies just, you know, we just need some people's going ahead with it. And I was like, fuck it, I fancy it, let's go, let's do this, and that's how I went. But, however, I wasn't even getting to uni in the first place. My big, my big one was that I was going to do the whole LA thing right yeah, I was going to piss off to LA at 18 and try and make it in film.
Speaker 1:Oh really yeah. But the problem is I was a child still, right, I was 18, but I was still a child. I didn't know what I wanted to be in film, what I wanted to do in film.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you just wanted to make some money and be rich. That's what you were done.
Speaker 1:Sure, no, I wanted to be involved in film, but in a way that, like I was just like you know, when you just really want something, you're not sure why you're getting it, I don't it, ah, that kind of thing. It was like that. I just wanted to be on a film set. Yeah, I was bringing nothing to the table, no discernible skills, and I didn't even know which aspect I wanted to focus on. And there was a guy at um, uh longing in rugby club, yeah, and he, he put me in contact with a guy who worked in special effects in um in hollywood. Yeah, and he goes talk to him and then see if he can help you out and get you a job. And I was like that's great cheers. And so I spoke to him and he said he goes, what do you want to do? And I was like, oh, you know, I wanted a little bit of screenwriting. Maybe. Get into this, get into that, get into that. And he goes, you just gotta pick one because I was a stupid kid.
Speaker 1:I was like, yeah, man, but I want to kind of like feel out where I'm meant to fit. And he just stopped replying to my emails.
Speaker 2:He was like really you've got to you've got to do you've got to have. Yeah, if you want to be in film.
Speaker 1:You pick your lane and something might happen later on. Where you start, you know you start in writing, but you find that you've got a talent for something else and you make a pivot. But you've got to get in the door first before you make those, so I would have just wandered la yeah, and got just squandered all money.
Speaker 1:Come home my tails between tail to my legs in six months, I would have absolutely shat the bed because I still would have been the idiot kid when I got there, like they. Once the limelight of being in la went away, yeah, I still would have been me. I still would have not a fucking clue what I was doing, and so I would have absolutely failed out.
Speaker 2:Crashed out in a big way.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Yeah, Wait, can I?
Speaker 2:change my top. I can't. It's just I can't why. What's wrong? I need to change my top. I look a mess.
Speaker 1:We'll be right back, and you may as well hear a few words from our sponsors while Charlotte is getting changed and she's back California. Look at that, that's on brand California.
Speaker 2:So I feel happy now. I feel comfy you feel good, did not like that jumper. Yeah, I like that, that's a nice jumper.
Speaker 1:But never mind, that's going to really mess up my edit right, I know you're going to be so confused well, I'm going to explain halfway through. So so, yeah, I, because I'm always of that belief that you know. Obviously I believe in like travel and going to different places really opens your mind to different things, but I don't think it's the answer to absolutely everything. Like if you've got some shit going on, yeah, and I know you're like just just gone all day, but no, I'm not because we've said about this in the podcast before.
Speaker 2:And I'm saying, when people like they've got to go find themselves, when you see these things and they're like right, I'll go to bali and I found myself in bali, you can fucking find yourself in england, yeah, but I'll tell you, you've just got to go through.
Speaker 1:Tell you when we first started this podcast, you were not there. You were like you've got to get out of here.
Speaker 2:No, no, I never. I said it in an episode which is no more than on Spotify.
Speaker 1:We're just loudly agreeing with each other.
Speaker 2:Listen, you don't need to go. That's why I'm saying I am proving that you don't have need to go for two years.
Speaker 1:I'm saying people will pop away and they need to get out of here and get to a new situation, but you're still going to be you when you get there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have said that before. Yeah, you're still going to be you.
Speaker 1:You check that baggage in as well. People, All right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was actually afraid Look at that.
Speaker 1:So it wasn't ever going to be the answer that I thought I was going to find a career and you know there are films you watch and things that you see where people just like. That bob dylan film just came out. He went to new york, found out where one country singer was ill at hospital when he got there, another country folk singer was there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he sang for them. They were like come on tour with us. And then he was bob dylan. You know, obviously they make it, so it's a film, so it's really short. Yeah, but these things where you just fall in to success. It just doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 2:No, and people like to portray that success is this easy, flat line Like you don't have hardships, you don't fail when you do. That is success.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I. You don't, you don't fail when you do.
Speaker 2:That is success, yeah I mean that, yeah, like you're saying, it's not a straight line.
Speaker 1:There is not. There is hardships, and you know I thought the jumping ship and pissing off to la was going to just be like that's it hardships over, just well, no hardships really. I wasn't running away from anything, but like I was trying to like create a whole new person out there. That wasn't me.
Speaker 2:That was the aim yeah, but the aim is to be your authentic self. That is the aim in life. Is to love it yeah, but that's the whole aim in life is to find that person what's your skill set?
Speaker 2:kid nothing no, but I can make you all right coffee no, but I feel like you, you do have to find who you are and be who you are. Yeah, you can't change yourself, because that's not you gosh. I must admit, if you told me when I was younger that I was gonna be living life with a dog, single, still nowhere near done like my life at the age of 35, I was still on that journey of where anything's possible I'd be like, wow, it would be so cool oh okay, that was good.
Speaker 1:I thought you're gonna be like oh no, I'm planning on being married no, because I love the fact that you've always been kind of like single pringle, what's up, you know that kind of thing like you've always been, like.
Speaker 1:That is the aim, my myself first and then like no, because you know, when some people go, god the idea, because I used to always be. When I was 16, 17, I was that dickhead kid. It was always like, oh, the last thing I want to be is driving to driving to a job in a car I can't afford from a house I'm still paying for yeah, I hate to impress people. I don't like. I was, I watched fight club, you know that kind of dickhead stuff, so I was like that.
Speaker 2:So the idea of being married with two kids by oh yeah, but I did think that, no, I was Okay. So yeah, I did think that I was dreading that idea Were you and you were expecting it. Well, yeah, because it's embedded into you, isn't it? That's it.
Speaker 1:I mean I was.
Speaker 2:That's what you see. You grow up, you go to uni, you finish school easy. That's it, yeah Done. You're happy, happy, happy. You've got a husband, You've got your kids two kids, obviously and then like, everything's good, but I'd hate. I love like right now, I love knowing I have no idea what my life's going to look like in five years. That's good and I love that. It excites me, it it's like you've got so much to look forward to and you, and sometimes, if you feel you want to go to live in another country yeah, then there's nothing wrong in that.
Speaker 2:That is okay, because you will learn a different culture, a new way of life. We've spoken about it before. You know, if you're fed up of the dark in the miserable weather and you want something better, you can be your person, but in another country where you're enjoying what that country has to offer yeah.
Speaker 1:So you've got to be a person that's open to the country. You can't just go over and be like being sad in, you know yeah, but you're not going to be any different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're just going to be more alone probably exactly.
Speaker 2:You've just, yeah, you've got to like, for me I'd love to like. My dream is to be on a plane going to places like the other day. I had this dream literally two days ago and I dreamt that I had this job where I was selling things and I was going on the plane and I was like in thailand, going somewhere to like, sell something, and I was on the back of a tuk-tuk and remember waking up that morning and I was like so happy, and then the sun was shining outside. I was like, oh yeah, you know, and then it all went downhill.
Speaker 1:But we won't go on about that, but the thing is, though, like the what's that phrase, it's like you're once dreaming of. You're once dreaming of the doors that you've walked through being open, or something like that yeah where does that phrase go?
Speaker 2:um, these are. These are the doors that you once dreamed you were walking through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it, yeah so it's that concept because the problem is with me. I reckon, like those dream, like say that being on the plane, if not that yeah, I have just a way of spinning like, yeah, but eventually I'd get sick of that, I'd get sick of the planes, I'd get sick of the yeah, but then you've enjoyed it and then you come to an end.
Speaker 2:That my old job, when I used to be a lot of the southwest of the country. I loved it. I was by the sea all the time and I loved the southwest which I've said before and I loved it. But it did get to a point where I was like, oh, I feel like I'm ready for the next thing and that's good, because I fulfilled that dream I made the most of it.
Speaker 2:And then I was like, right, what's the next thing? Go do the next thing, enjoy every minute. And then think, oh, okay, what's the next thing? But saying, oh, you know, it's all going to be the same, same, it's all going to be boring, it's all going to eventually be boring and that is just gray and dark. That's negative energy, because when you're grateful, you're happy, you appreciate things, okay. So right now, like this house, I I get happy and I still appreciate the fact that I can turn the heat on whenever I want the gratitude bit.
Speaker 1:I do get it because I watched a video the other day that spun me out entirely because it was kind of like a looming like oh Jesus, like he's in my head.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's the whole concept he's talking about is the fact that the thing they never teach you in school is that at one point in your life, whether major or minorly, yeah, major, or minor. You will start over. You will have to start over, whether it's you choose a job or something. But like new job, new friends new city but it's they never. They always do it in, like the idea that you're making these choices, but sometimes these choices are thrust upon you and you have to make these changes yeah and that put me in like a thing of like, yeah, that could.
Speaker 1:The idea now of right now I am in my lane of family Derby, this is it, this is the lane I'm running down. The idea of deviating from that it's like anxiety inducing, yeah but you might not. No, but there's a good chance it will happen. Why Things don't have to go on forever?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but your life can be this.
Speaker 1:The job might not go on forever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but something better Will come along.
Speaker 1:You're hoping or something better, might not. We're all two paychecks away from.
Speaker 2:You know what From homelessness. But get another job, you've got skills.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's the whole. It's the anxiety of like shit. You're two months to really sort your shit out, otherwise you start to get more and more into danger zone, right I just don't look at life this way that's scary, because I've been that's it. You've done it, though, exactly like I have been. I've pivoted mate. I've made the changes.
Speaker 2:No, it's not that I've been at the bottom of where you could possibly be in life, where I thought I'm in shit up shit's creek here, where it's been bad like bad, and I've worked my way through it and I got through it. So I know if ever that happens again, I can do it.
Speaker 1:So which is the gratitude in hardship, right, yeah?
Speaker 2:don't get me wrong. Sometimes, like because I, you know, I believe in all these things and stuff, and sometimes I do worry when I know that I'm about to elevate to the next level in my life. Sometimes that can come as a massive tower moment and you know what a tower moment is.
Speaker 1:It's gonna either build or collapse.
Speaker 2:Collapse. So, something will happen to make you then want to move on.
Speaker 1:Oh shit. So your anxiety is coming from success and my anxiety is coming from failures.
Speaker 2:No, because when you go to the next level in your life, so say your job is, it's not going to bring any more value to your life and life wants you to move on because it's got this next thing it wants you to do, for whatever reason. Okay for you to grow as a person, to get to that next level in your life.
Speaker 2:Sometimes, if you don't do it, but life wants you to do it, it will force you to do it and this is where tower moments happen. And tower moments happen like to kind of of teach you to be stronger and it's to grow you as a person and it's also to push you to that next level. So say that could end up with. Your job is no longer serving you anymore, and what I mean by serving you is you're not getting anything good back from it, but you want to hold on to this job because you're scared where something could happen like you could get sacked. That's it. You're sacked, you're you made redundant, get out of here. That's a tower moment, but that is going to force you to then go and get a new job. Yeah, and ultimately in life like I've witnessed it so many times in my life where something bad will happen and I like getting moached oh, do you want to?
Speaker 1:do you want to cut?
Speaker 2:no, it's just, I know how the passion, I could just like feel it. But have a minute. Yeah, have a minute. But when you've been at like rock bottom and things happen, like miracles happen and shit, like it's just, you realize that it's all gonna be fine. Like these past couple of years, I've been through a massive like tower moment in my life where things have left for me personally, where I feel like they've had to leave, like I've had, like friends I've had since childhood and things have happened, the tower moments. But I can see that it's all for my best interest, you know, and I can clearly see why everything's happened and I'm grateful for life, even though you know I'm sad. I know ultimately life has got my back.
Speaker 1:I think the takeaway from this is that my offshoots in the different ways my life was going. I was still of the same mindset that, in a positive way, that I've picked the right one, I'm going down the right way, absolutely, you are. These shot offs that I could have gone yeah, could have just been the, the death of. What a good thing that I've got going on right now, yeah.
Speaker 2:But the thing is, sometimes you can have like something in, like a calling in your heart, like I feel that one day I just want to help people, but I don't know why, how that's going to happen and I don't know when that's going to happen and what I'm going to do to get there. I just feel this massive calling in my heart. That's what I'm meant to do, and it's like you, you know, maybe you don't know, maybe one day you could end up in film, you could do something like that. If you've got that calling in your heart, maybe it's for a reason.
Speaker 1:I don't shut up about them, do I Huh?
Speaker 2:I don talking about film again when you're in one.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but I'm just saying keep. Let's keep this, though, because I don't want this podcast to finish. I love doing my little podcast, a little 30 year old, but yeah, it's. It's the. Have you heard of the lamp story?
Speaker 2:no, it's like. This is like a famous, famous reddit story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, this is. This isn't a real fear of mine, but the idea of this happening, oh yeah, I'll read it and I'll see where you're at with it. So my last semester at a certain college, I was assaulted by a football player For walking where he was trying to drive. No, he was 325 pounds and I was 120, while unconscious on the ground. I lived a different life. I met a wonderful young lady. She made my heart skip and my face red. I pursued her for months and dispatched a few jerk boyfriends before I finally won her over. After two years I got married and almost immediately she bore me a daughter. I had a great job and my wife didn't have to work outside of the house. When my daughter was two, she my wife, wife bought me a son. My son was the joy of my life. I would walk into his room every morning before I left for work and dote on him and my daughter.
Speaker 1:One day, while sitting on the couch, I noticed that the perspective of the lamp was odd, like it was inverted. It was still 3d, but just wrong. It was a square lamp base, red with gold trim on four legs and a white square shade. I was was transfixed. I couldn't look away from it. I stayed up all night staring at it. The next morning I didn't go to work. Something was just not right about that lamp. I stopped eating. I left the couch, only to use the bathroom. At first Soon I stopped that too, as I wasn't eating or drinking. I stayed at the lamp for three days before my wife got really worried. She had someone come and try to talk to me. By this time my conscious was breaking up and my wife was freaking out. My cognizant sorry was breaking up and my wife was freaking out. She took the kids to her mother's house just before I had my epiphany the lamp is not real.
Speaker 1:The house is not real. My wife, my kids none of this is real. The last 10 years of my life are not real. Oh God, I was laying on my back on the sidewalk, surrounded by people I didn't know. Lots was freaking out. I was completely confused. At some point, a cop scooped me up, dragged, walked me across the sidewalk and grass and threw me face down in the back of a cop car. I was still confused. I was taken to the hospital by the cop. Seems he didn't want to wait for the ambulance to arrive and gave me CT scans. I went through about three years of horror, depression. I was grieving the loss of my wife and children and dealing with the knowledge that they never existed.
Speaker 1:God, I was scared that I was going insane as I would cry myself to sleep, hoping I would see her in my dreams. I never have, but sometimes I see my son, usually just a glimpse of him, out of my peripheral vision. He is perpetually five years old and I can never hear what he says. Is is perpetually five years old and I can never hear what he says. This is a true story. But apparently this guy that, yeah, like, lived a life and then, um see, that would be horrible, that's it like, because you're and it's the idea of, like this, the life that we're in right now, there's another one that's happening simultaneously.
Speaker 1:Another one that's happening simultaneously, this whole multiverse here that yeah films, but like having it, like more for you, the idea of it going on and I know you spoke about in australia, the kids you didn't have like it's the idea of what, if you were transported there right now, like you saw those kids, you saw this other life, like how many lives would you have to look at before you chose your own? How many lives would you have to look at before you moved away from your own that you're currently living like, because you could have all your dreams could be in another life?
Speaker 2:yeah but maze is a different dog or I mean it feels alien to you, wouldn't it because? You would have this dog who you've not got a relationship with.
Speaker 1:It's not amazing yeah, but like it's never gonna happen it's like it doesn't the amount different, because they say it's often there's infinite universes. Right, there's a universe right now where you're wearing a blue jumper, a universe where you're wearing a green one.
