My Angela, you know, said when people show you who they are, believe them the first time. Because she was saying, baby, people have to show you 29 times.

141.926 - 162.116 Mike Minogue

And the advice is eating is not cheating. If you're having a big night. That's such good advice. Even if you're just going out for a couple, you know, and you're not expecting a big night, eating is not cheating. It's good advice. Eating is insurance. Eating is self-preservation. It's smart. And eating is not cheating.

0

162.317 - 189 Joanne McNally

No. It is the smart thing to do. You got some advice? A few bits come to mind, but a thing that always rolls around in my head, and it's advice that I got from a softball coach many, many moons ago, but it can be applied. And technically when she gave me this piece of advice, it was about the game. Okay. Because she was my coach. But it can be applied to- Is it a metaphor for life?

0

188.98 - 195.497 Joanne McNally

It can be applied to anything in life. Okay, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the piece of advice was don't sweat the small stuff.

0

195.757 - 207.534 Mike Minogue

Oh, not steal when you can. Steal home always. Aim for right between the eyes. Sorry, what was the advice again? Don't sweat the small stuff. Oh, but that advice was for the game.

0

207.594 - 208.054 Joanne McNally

Yeah.

208.275 - 210.157 Mike Minogue

Yeah, that's good life advice.

210.177 - 234.908 Joanne McNally

Because I think I used to be, and I think this has followed me in my life everywhere I go, I am really hard on myself and that is in anything. So playing sport. Work. Work. I'm just always so hard on myself and I expect perfection and so obviously she was talking about that when I'm playing, don't sweat the small stuff, get your head back in the game. Good advice.

234.928 - 237.921 Mike Minogue

Yeah. I feel like Ella's itching to share her best advice. Yeah, look at her.

237.941 - 239.328

She's just jumping out of the seat.

Chapter 4: How did personal experiences shape the advice shared?

275.884 - 276.525 Mike Minogue

279.649 - 291.182 Joanne McNally

You could have just given me a little laugh, Freddie. One thing's free. I genuinely didn't know it was a joke. I thought it was like you trying to give advice and I didn't want to laugh in your face. Okay, no, the actual advice. The actual advice.

291.242 - 294.426 Mike Minogue

297.23 - 300.173 Mike Minogue

Sorry, too much. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

302.38 - 312.536

Seriously, go outside when you're feeling down and actually touch grass. I've done it once. I've done it twice. I agree with that one. It works.

312.556 - 313.337 Joanne McNally

It actually does.

313.597 - 314.899 Mike Minogue

Well done, Ella. You got there in the end.

Chapter 5: What unique advice did the producer share?

519.268 - 535.355 Joanne McNally

Get your places. This one is really good too. It says, don't marry a man just because you are pregnant to him. That's good advice. Wow. Okay. I think so. Yep. Because I think it can cause you even more drama and stress. It's not the right reason to get married. No, it's not.

0

535.375 - 560.096 Mike Minogue

And you know in your gut if you should be. What about the reverse? Don't get pregnant to a man just because you married him. I mean, it works as well. My dad said, when having a moment with your kids, make sure you take a second to see their point of view. That's really nice advice. And it's really hard to put into practice when you are having a moment. I can imagine. It's not just kids.

0

560.156 - 560.797 Mike Minogue

It's true for anyone.

0

560.817 - 561.718 Joanne McNally

It's just anything.

0

561.698 - 567.325 Mike Minogue

I mean, having a moment with anyone should take a moment to see it from their perspective. But that's not easy to do in the moment.

567.345 - 578.598 Joanne McNally

It's incredibly difficult. What about this? Procrastination is the thief of time. Can I say it properly? Procrastination is the thief of time.

578.899 - 584.365 Mike Minogue

Yeah. Procrastination is just like, you're only effing yourself.

584.665 - 591.812 Joanne McNally

Oh, what's the other one that's like that? It's one of my favourites is comparison is the thief of joy.

592.153 - 595.756 Mike Minogue

Yeah, that's two. Thief. The thief of joy.
