Ask me anything.

Vaughan 0:23

And welcome to our big pod. The live show is all back on the 20th of July after a mid-year break. So ask us anything.

Hayley Jane Sproul 0:31

We've got an email here from somebody. They're going to remain anonymous. But this is quite an intense email. I wanted to ask advice and maybe the listeners, if they have any ideas. I've been listening to you guys for a long time. Basically, I found out in 2022 that I had breast cancer, underwent treatment. It was long, nearly 10 months. Good lord. Grateful. I listened to the podcast, got me through, went through chemo. I've had three years cancer-free last month, found out it's returned and it's now stage four. There's very little that can be done. Oh, I'm so sorry. Got kids. So my question is, if you had two years left, what would you do? Oh, God.

Vaughan 1:08

Holy moly. This is actually her predicament.

Hayley Jane Sproul 1:11

This is actually her life right now. Husband's resigned from the job just so we can spend as much time together as possible. So we can go on some adventures. Fletch, you've traveled around the world. Where would you go? What would you see? What experiences should we seek out? What's a must do?

Vaughan 1:25

Where did you say they're living? New Zealand.

Hayley Jane Sproul 1:27

Yeah, yeah.

What anonymous listener shares a stage-four breast cancer diagnosis and asks “If you had two years left, what would you do?”?

Vaughan 2:26

I don't know. I mean, it depends what you're into. Are you into beaches? Do you just want to relax for weeks on end at a beach?

Fletcher Christian 2:32

I'm trying to think what's the most beautiful place I've ever been to.

Vaughan 2:35

I mean, the Mediterranean, hands down, is the most beautiful place. It's expensive as all fuck.

Fletcher Christian 2:40

Yeah, like Greek islands.

Vaughan 2:41

But Sardinia is amazing.

Fletcher Christian 2:43

I'm there now.

While you're listening to this podcast. It's incredible. Oh, darling. Anonymous. It's beautiful.

Vaughan 2:51

It's beautiful. Darling, you simply must come. I mean, it depends if you want culture or beaches or what do you want.

Fletcher Christian 2:57

I mean, are you jumping out of planes? Are you going to do bungee jumps? Are you going to do adventure stuff?

Vaughan 3:03

I mean, South America is cheaper to travel to. It's beautiful. Like Patagonia was incredible.

Fletcher Christian 3:08

Yeah. I would do everything I ever wanted to with my hair. I mean, I don't know if you've lost your hair or not, but if you did, I'd wear like pink wigs and I'd have like any color I wanted. I'd get every tattoo I ever wanted. If it was bad, I'd be like, great. How funny is this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd buy, I'd buy like real, I'd buy nice clothes to live my last two lives, last two years in. I'd probably have, I'd have orgies and shit, but I know you can have a chat with your husband about that.

Hayley Jane Sproul 3:35

Yeah, that's discussion to you. If you're travelling with the kids, seeing the joy in their face would be... Yeah, exactly. Because it's a pretty intense time for them. The kids were 13 and nearly 16, so I could fully comprehend the situation at hand.

Fletcher Christian 3:50

I did a family trip to LA with my whole family when me and my brother were 16 and 19, and it ruled because we went to concerts, gigs, we went to the X Games, we went to theme parks, we ate food.
