41.003 - 70.026 Charlotte Twigg

hi hey um this is a thrill hey charlotte you work for a podcast now so do you want to tell us like what we should do like are we perfect straight in straight in how's it going yeah it's so good i love my job tell the listeners who don't know what you're doing oh okay yeah well At the end of last year, I'll go right back, shall I? Go loose. Just let rip on as much as you're prepared to rip about.

0

70.166 - 90.14 Charlotte Twigg

Don't fart, though, because we do know you're the best farter in the family. Thank you for that. I was made redundant in my cricket job last year, which I just loved. and dedicated a lot of my heart and soul into that place. Anyway, I'm not bitter about being made. It was really hard.

0

90.16 - 110.16 Lisa Fong

I remember you, I'm just going to pipe in. Cause you know, what's a podcast without me piping in Lisa Fong. When that happened, it was very emotional and very tough for you. It was harder than you probably would have anticipated and possibly anyone would know. And I remember going, something good is going to come of this.

111.322 - 139.563 Charlotte Twigg

yeah you're right lee i am you are a lot harder than i i know what she's a medium i'm a medium Yeah, you have mentioned that a couple of times and I don't not believe you. But you don't strongly agree? I'm ambiguous. I'm on the fence, maybe. Okay, fair. No, yeah, no, you're right. I definitely struggled a lot.

139.643 - 151.133 Charlotte Twigg

And I actually really do thank my previous employer, Glasshouse, a fuck ton, to be honest, because, excuse the language, because they really did pick me up when I was really quite low. I feel like...

151.113 - 181.103 Charlotte Twigg

that point in my life there had been a lot um happen in my personal life and then with the job that I loved and for anyone that hasn't been made redundant I do think it is quite a difficult thing to understand um because in hindsight if I had heard about a redundancy or something that happening to someone I probably have had not enough empathy in hindsight but that's what happens in life isn't it and it's a bit like miscarriage or something eh yeah it's a floor in the human experience

181.083 - 202.939 Lisa Fong

isn't it yeah you can't fully understand and a lot of people go oh you would have got a good payout yeah no no but do you know what I'm saying though like you know when I hear of that in the past I'd be like oh yeah but you've got what three months pay or something to find a new job you'll be fine like and but you when you actually live and breathe and love your job so much and you

Chapter 2: What new job opportunity does Char discuss?

290.724 - 307.53 Charlotte Twigg

I did feel quite bad about that. But at the same time, I got a call about a potential job in the commercial space between Two Bears the podcast. And for me, it felt like a really solid alignment and had to go through that process of finding

0

307.51 - 334.429 Charlotte Twigg

like I couldn't not interview for it and then was lucky enough to be offered it and so only ended up at Glasshouse for six months really after my two months notice period um and yeah they are amazing but I'm extremely happy in my role now well I think I think the difference is like Glasshouse you actually frothed the people like you felt safe and so supported and but

0

334.865 - 353.271 Lisa Fong

your passion, it wasn't really a pet, like a passion for you, which was really cool that you have now got kind of the best of both worlds and you've still stayed close. Like your glass house will always mean a lot to you and the people there, because they picked you up when you were so down and lifted you.

0

353.291 - 361.142 Lisa Fong

And then I reckon sort of held you up and made you so much stronger in that time to then be in the position you are today as well.

0

362.101 - 377.798 Charlotte Twigg

Yeah, I think it was a real confidence boost too. They're backing and everything. At that time, I reckon I'd lost quite a bit of confidence. And they helped me sort of find it again, which was real. Like, yeah, I can't.

377.778 - 393.053 Charlotte Twigg

sing their praises enough really but yeah now I work with two dudes in an office just us but it works we've got a cool sort of wider team that kind of work from you know we contract the sexy cameraman Sam and

393.033 - 416.492 Lisa Fong

yeah he's quite hot okay yeah i love how it's okay for you to tell him he's hot would it be okay if me and lisa did that i just would anyway um i was listening to one of the two between two beers podcasts the over the week um and

416.793 - 444.91 Lisa Fong

steve i think do you know to be fair i actually can't tell who's who's talking so i don't know who talks but i like them both equally anyway one of them was saying how they now podcast full-time and and um you know it took a while for people to take them seriously that that was now their full-time job and now i'm asking you a question are they in the office full-time monday to friday and yeah are they um

446.83 - 471.235 Charlotte Twigg

are they researching guests researching the the guests that they're about to have on editing cutting conversations all that kind of stuff yeah it's um yeah they're in the office more than full-time i'd say really yeah yeah especially at the moment we're doing they just announced it um last sunday in the sunday magazine that they're going to the football world cup which was like

Chapter 3: How does Char reflect on her redundancy experience?

558.225 - 561.911 Lisa Fong

I was saying to Shard. Is that Eva the Bulgarian on the Sports Cafe?

0

561.931 - 579.977 Charlotte Twigg

Oh, yeah, I remember her. I wonder where she is these days. I was saying to Shard, it's quite an interesting kind of full-circle thing in my brain, like how you had programs like Sports Cafe and stuff, or you have, you know, the commentary from Sky Sports at Laura McGoldrick, these types of people who you sit and watch.

0

579.957 - 608.007 Charlotte Twigg

um at an event like that and then podcasts come about and podcasts you listen to and then podcasts become videos that you now watch and now the podcast becomes a show i mean is that not just a tv show you know but are we gonna be a tv show well exactly we have been asked yes uh i think that the crux of the matter though comes down to like their ability to ask questions tell stories and connect and i mean no surprises and yeah

0

607.987 - 622.488 Lisa Fong

In this world where it's becoming more and more disconnected, we need connection more than bloody ever. And this is why Move It Mama with the live feature and the commenting in the community page is so bloody needed.

0

622.528 - 632.863 Charlotte Twigg

And you were dissing your chat on that reel that you made last week about reel is so important in this day and age. And you were piss-tacking yourself, but you were right.

634.042 - 645.719 Lisa Fong

I mean, I know. I'm a medium. So, Shah, that's really cool, but do you think that you could go? No. What are you going to do when they're away? How long do they go for?

646.28 - 661.703 Charlotte Twigg

They go on the 9th of June, and they're not back until, like, the 1st of July or something. So you don't have a back-end shit to do, though, eh? Yeah, but there'll be things on the ground here that I'll need to work with our editor and people. So part of it, the reason that they can go is obviously they've got some commercial projects

661.683 - 680.415 Charlotte Twigg

and the partners will be my responsibility as far as like making sure that their deliverables are in each episode. For example, the interview segment every day will be sponsored by McDonald's. And so I need to make sure that we tick all those boxes from McDonald's, you know, commission. What they require.

680.675 - 696.091 Lisa Fong

Yeah. Can I just say, Like, you know, they've both got families and partners. Like, big ups to the bloody partners. They can just go off and do that with such short notice. Like, I'm going away on Friday, nine days, and I'm nervous.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about the sister dynamic?

970.891 - 987.336 Charlotte Twigg

And no bread with the olives? No, it's just came with olives. That's dumb. She finished. Marinated olives. They were yum. You need some kind of dip in bread. Oh, it's pretty yum, Lisa. It's with a toothpick. It was quite. Char's into olives. Yeah, I get it. Somewhere else where Char loves an olive. Anyway.

0

987.677 - 987.817 Lisa Fong

Yeah.

0

988.699 - 994.371 Charlotte Twigg

And then he comes back to ask if we want another one. And I have not finished. And Char's long finished her first one.

0

995.093 - 995.974 Unknown

Char, why are you rushing?

0

995.994 - 1021.596 Charlotte Twigg

Char's like. Shaz like I definitely will and I'm like yeah okay okay I'll have a second sure have two the girls next to us are like I love your pants to shower or something and it opens up a conversation and they're going to the show too and we're like yes we love this my leopard print jeans and did she wear them on that night she did interesting and what's funny is like just yeah

1021.576 - 1042.605 Charlotte Twigg

no just prior to that we had said like what are these people doing like who are they like we don't get out much right this is a real anomaly evening for us what's everyone else up to like are they always out where have they been you know what i mean and then these chicks are like ones from alexandra down south how old are they

1042.585 - 1061.472 Charlotte Twigg

30 30 from they thought they thought we were 30 just by the way they thought that we were 30 what do you do with your skin I was 25 I would have I wasn't I know and wait side note what's the problem with leopard print jeans with red just overdone

1062.177 - 1084.201 Lisa Fong

I feel like it really takes me back to when you were like four and had glasses and patches. And I just think, I know that it was all on trend, leopard print and red, because I remember when I was with you last, possibly the last time, which wasn't too long ago, or the time before that, leopard print was back in. And it was with red.

1084.282 - 1103.361 Lisa Fong

And I remember you talking to a shop assistant or someone and people going, yeah, with red. And you were like, yeah, I want to wear it with red. And so I just have this thing about you with leopard print and red. And when you bought that red cardi, you often were just wearing your leopard print with the red or the red cardi. It goes. It just reminds me of you as a four-year-old and Nina.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about technology's impact on life?

1215.22 - 1238.737 Lisa Fong

You're fine. It doesn't affect you like it was affected. The only reason why I like – I mean – I think you can go, like there is a time and a place. And I think that one day you might be like, right, I've had enough. And that's fine. Like I went quite hard when my fourth child was three and I drank a lot.

0

1239.198 - 1259.485 Lisa Fong

And I just, it started to consume my mind and it started to put me a few steps backwards. So that's why I was like, something needs to change. So I stopped drinking for so long. And then when you stop drinking for so long, You have to learn about why, you know, you have to kind of get into the science behind it. And then you sort of get fixated that it's actually poison. Why are we doing this?

0

1259.505 - 1270.519 Lisa Fong

It's like drinking petrol. And then you get into this bandwagon of like, it's so bad. But what is really bad about it, and I'm going to say that right now, is what it can do for partnerships, relationships,

0

1270.803 - 1295.68 Lisa Fong

and violence and all that kind of stuff that's where I can't cope with it um but you are in control you are you are you're an adult you're not um awful and it doesn't really affect you as much as it was affecting me so let yourself go there okay it's fine yeah it's fun it's fun I actually had my second glass of wine two weeks ago oh cool I've had two um

0

1296.925 - 1314.108 Lisa Fong

Yeah, I went out for dinner with two friends that I feel really safe and happy with and Kiwi girls. And I had a glass of Pinot. So, you know, I'm really happy that I can do that now too. And I feel very good about it. I don't feel like I've wrecked anything. I feel like I'm at a point in my life now that I can have one.

1314.829 - 1320.857 Lisa Fong

I've not yet to have two in a row, but just one little, I mean, for me, that's really enjoyable. So yeah.

1320.837 - 1347.57 Charlotte Twigg

okay so sis so jess did you literally only have one i had two and i was feeling quite dusty the next day this is the what's so unfair but it's you know as we've discussed over text message like it's not necessarily just the alcohol is it it's like the alcohol the flow-on effect to what you like my appetite is relentless after drinking two drinks i just we got home sha had seen this like real some check on

1347.55 - 1366.588 Charlotte Twigg

yeah some chick on instagram doing this like lesser calorie high protein mcdonald's meal so basically it's a double mcchicken without the mayo a crispy mcchicken wrap without the mayo so it's like dry as days but it's like 50 grams of protein and like 600 calories real protein

1366.568 - 1391.142 Charlotte Twigg

it must be yeah man it went down and if we hadn't have had that at 10 p.m that would have been real problems and then we had box jam and then we were able to go for a little short run and stuff and I might add just what a thrill it was to like twice in the hotel running to move at mama members like on in at the gym then exiting the next day and then like since a different one or the same different one oh how cool I didn't know that

Chapter 6: What are the highlights from the Kiwi Yarns podcast?

2180.217 - 2202.711 Lisa Fong

There's no adult going. We're just checking, just, um, mom, can I do the lawns? And then you give me $20. Like, mom, where are you? I'm like, I told you we're leaving early to go to Brisbane. What? You're there already? I'm like, yes. Yeah, of course. I'm not actually speaking to her at the moment. That's another story. Um,

0

2204.26 - 2215.476 Lisa Fong

So Shah, that you're correct because I feel like, you know how, was there something like the social experiment? Was there a documentary called the social experiment or something?

0

2215.496 - 2216.257 Charlotte Twigg

That sounds familiar.

0

2216.277 - 2238.432 Lisa Fong

I just think like it would be really, it's really interesting because you're correct. And also that's exactly right. Cause the first picture you put up was you and Shah side by side, who's who or something. And I saw it and I quickly just got off. I didn't want to look at it. It's so mean. Like, I love you so much. You're my favorite people to talk to.

0

2238.732 - 2254.821 Lisa Fong

But it just got me a little bit of a pang in my puku. Whereas if I hadn't have looked at it, I mean, I wouldn't, I mean, well, I love that you're together too. So you know how you feel happier than when we're together. I feel like that too. Like I was excited for you to be together. It's so funny. It's social media. But so what do I do about that?

2254.801 - 2283.233 Charlotte Twigg

I don't know, but it is real. It's rife. I suppose in the future, talking to the world now, anyone is not going to know what it was like. I think of Grandpa Bruce or Mum and Dad even telling us the way things were when they were young. And we'll do the same later. But there'll be further advancements in technology that mean even how technology is today will be like something to behold anyway.

2283.494 - 2301.801 Charlotte Twigg

You know, it'll move. Do you know what I mean? I mean, you know, and the next generation won't probably have any idea what a newspaper is or something. Or will they? Will the newspaper hang around? I don't know. I rate a newspaper. That didn't seem relevant to what they said.

2301.781 - 2335.127 Charlotte Twigg

I thought she's normally quite bang on with her responses I thought that was not good wow I think she's meaning like in the future there'll be different problems in the future technology will have advanced even further along that we can touch each other yeah probably you have a chip in the sky that you know will just like do do do do Yeah, but I guess why – sorry, Jess, sorry to put you down.

2335.147 - 2348.049 Charlotte Twigg

But I think I was just saying, like, Lisa's question then was what does she do about it, about these pangs in her puku, for example. And I do think, Lisa, you're all about the inner work. Keep doing it.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts express gratitude at the end of the episode?

2351.41 - 2352.071 Charlotte Twigg

We all do.

0

2352.151 - 2355.774 Jessica Mizzi

Don't we all? But ultimately, we've got this.

0

2356.675 - 2380.557 Charlotte Twigg

Well, it's the whole comparison is the thief of joy, right? Like we're all just out there looking at these highlight reels and thinking, I wish I was there or like everyone in Europe in the summer at the moment and we're here sitting here in freezing cold. Like it's just forever looking at this space, this online world and wishing we were elsewhere when really we just need to be

0

2382.123 - 2389.433 Charlotte Twigg

grateful for the ordinary and like when we do get together and you do get time with jess at the baby expo and i'm not there

0

2389.632 - 2406.752 Lisa Fong

Well, I'm already feeling guilty about that now because I'm saying this now, right? And then I'm worried come Friday and the weekend and we like, and I'm online and then I'm like, oh no, but Sha doesn't actually care. Sha's just happy. So let's go wild. Let's say that we're best friends.

2407.132 - 2410.756 Charlotte Twigg

Nah, so the thing is, Lise, because you obviously get FOMO, right?

2411.097 - 2415.522 Lisa Fong

And I get sad for other people that they're not, I'm a bit messed up.

2415.502 - 2442.117 Lisa Fong

I'm gonna have I'm gonna have FOMO I'm gonna have severe FOMO but I'm out at the end of the day my overwhelming emotion is that you guys are together and that's fucking amazing yeah and you are we are gonna be together again though eh like next week yeah the week after come down to Christchurch yeah yeah I know I know and I know I know and like the thing is like it's a funny world eh and then

2442.839 - 2462.471 Lisa Fong

I mean, people would be the same as me. I mean, people are when I post about my beautiful climate where I live. You put the temperature a lot in your posts. Stop doing that. Oh, because it's just, it still blows me away that I get to live in such paradise. Like, but then why should I have to, why share that? Why make people feel bad that they don't?

Chapter 8: How do the sisters navigate feelings of FOMO?

3095.286 - 3095.787 Unknown

Yeah.

0

3096.104 - 3118.545 Charlotte Twigg

Yeah. Um, I've done that lots of times, tried to go without and I've, I don't know, I come back to the safety thing. Oh, and then Shah hasn't even replied to me about my messages last night that I got looked into that. But like, that's another thing is that like, I went for a run two years, nearly two years ago into the bush or not into the bush, my local track.

0

3118.705 - 3139.391 Charlotte Twigg

And like, I think a man was like flashing me or the world and, in the bush, and I think he followed me. I mean, I can't even be sure about that now, but that's how it felt. He had Gary A, but he was little. I had the dog. Yeah, I had the dog. I mean, it's not that he was little. It's just that I don't know if he'd, like, attack someone. Who knows?

0

3139.811 - 3155.424 Charlotte Twigg

But moral of that story is I will always take my phone. I'd be too scared not to have my phone. Well, you need to. Yeah. You've got Gary, which is good. And I got this weird text last night from who knows. So anyway, I won't talk about it.

0

3155.765 - 3159.69 Lisa Fong

Shah, it was so weird. But I don't even think we should talk about it on here.

3159.71 - 3160.511 Charlotte Twigg

No, I'm not going to talk about it.

3160.532 - 3173.53 Lisa Fong

Because I don't know who listens to this at times. Like Shah, but that was freaking me out. Anyway. Hey. I was going to say something. Okay. Can we...

3174.033 - 3181.123 Charlotte Twigg

Yeah, what was I going to say? Are you going to spread some sparkle? I think we should probably tie up our low sins.

3182.234 - 3204.985 Lisa Fong

yeah I have finished I was I don't know there's so much to talk about we missed a week last week so oh yeah it's throwing me a bit because I we didn't recap on the week before that like we're just so we could probably just be on here for another hour to be fair but we need a show we need a traveling tour show someone organize your commercial lead
