So Tegan, when was the last time you had a good greet?
No, no.
Well that's you know, 'cause I grew up in Scotland.
Having a good greet means you're having a good cry.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
regular crier?
So I I can choke up.
And sometimes I'll choke up on air.
Um I've done it.
So distant past you you you currently are a presenter of Life Matters.
I used to co-present Life Matters with Geraldine.
And you know, and often enough we would I would have somebody on with a really emotional story.
I remember one in detail which was uh just very briefly.
We had on a story about a psychiatrist, and this will get you crying.
So he was really disabled.
And blind from
having stepped on a landmine in Vietnam during the Vietnam War when he was a medic and told the story about his had remarkable rehabilitation and he'd become a psychiatrist and so on.
It's a really amazing story.
And we got an email in from a listener who said and I can almost cry actually saying it.
saying I was helicoptered in in the Vietnam War to a platoon of Australian servicemen who'd got caught in a minefield and I came across this doctor who uh was very badly wounded and he said, I'm gonna die, go after the others.
