Episode 9
Pete Cann of the Laughter & Positivity with Pete Podcast
In episode nine of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Pete Cann of the Laughter & Positivity with Pete podcast.
After building an agency for chefs for 11 years, the Covid-19 pandemic put Pete's business on hold, and he had to furlough his team. However, this allowed him to focus on a podcast idea he'd been thinking about for a while.
Taking his cue from a virtual event called the Laughter Phone, Pete expanded on how he used positivity and laughter in his business to start his Laughter & Positivity show, and bring the world of laughter yoga and laughter professionals to a wider audience.
Topics up for discussion this week include:
- how he first got into being a laughter professional
- his process for the show, as it switches between just featuring him and having guests as well
- the episode that stuck with him the most
- why his life could have been vastly different if he'd stuck on the path he was on as a younger man
- why Covid-19 has been an opportunity
- how you can use laughter yoga techniques in your everyday life
Settle back for a fun and interesting chat on why laughter truly is good for the soul.

Hi, and welcome to Podcaster Stories each year we will
Speaker:have a conversation with Podcast. It was across all mediums
Speaker:and share their story. What motivates them, why they started
Speaker:her show as a group or a show and more,
Speaker:but also talk about their personal lives and some of
Speaker:the things that have happened that made them the person
Speaker:after a day. And now here's your host Danny Brown
Speaker:Hey guys. And welcome to another episode of Podcaster. Stories
Speaker:where we talked to the voices of the people behind
Speaker:a show is we will listen to it this week.
Speaker:I've got Pete Cann on the show. We are going
Speaker:to be talking about how he's Podcast came about through
Speaker:the, the COVID-19 pandemic and his hopes, a, you know,
Speaker:what is the podcast series and how that ties into,
Speaker:you know, his existing business, etc.
Speaker:So Pete, welcome to the show. And I appreciate you
Speaker:joining us today. How about you tell us a little
Speaker:bit about yourself and your role.
Speaker:Yeah, so like it's nice to meet you too remotely.
Speaker:That's that's all we can do at the moment. So
Speaker:that name's Pete Cann and not being a business owner
Speaker:for the last 11 years running our chef agency, however,
Speaker:sort of a part of my makeup is sort of
Speaker:helping people as well. And I'm, I've been doing the
Speaker:online stuff through sort of Facebook or like a group
Speaker:called you can wear sort of thought that I spoke
Speaker:to them that the theme of NFP can, you can
Speaker:sew sort of that positive mental attitude, all about gratitude,
Speaker:talking about daily habits, about visualization or all of the
Speaker:good stuff that's got me from a sort of wear.
Speaker:I was 11 years, well, further than 11 years ago
Speaker:to where I am today. And what I found, like
Speaker:you said that you used to run a chef agency
Speaker:so that we are not used to that wrong terminology.
Speaker:You don't use it that I still run as a
Speaker:chef agency, but obviously being Covid at the moment, our
Speaker:hospitality there's no need for chef. So what I've taken
Speaker:this opportunity is to actually sort of dive deep into
Speaker:my sort of Positivity side of things, but it also
Speaker:on a Laughter leader. So I, I learned how to
Speaker:run Laughter yoga sessions about three years ago. And it's
Speaker:just, again, a daily habit that I have.
Speaker:And what happened was it was world Laughter a day
Speaker:back in may at the end of May 22nd, a
Speaker:man, I think it was. And I ended up editing
Speaker:a video where we passed a it's called a giggle
Speaker:phone and it basically past this laugh around the world
Speaker:and ended up going to 72 countries and through 710
Speaker:people. And from that, I sort of looked at it
Speaker:and I thought, wait, now I've just met all these
Speaker:really, really amazing Laughter professionals. And then I looked at
Speaker:the podcasting and I thought, actually, I'd thought I'd do
Speaker:a little search and see who's doing laughter yoga and,
Speaker:you know, explaining all the benefits of the Laughter and
Speaker:that's nothing out there.
Speaker:And it was like, there's, there's, there's a gap here
Speaker:for me to sort of, and if you are these
Speaker:Laughter and get their stories in how Laughter has changed
Speaker:our lives, but also put my Positivity side of it
Speaker:as well. So, so I sort of bounce week-to-week on
Speaker:interviews between Laughter professionals and also positive mindset people. So
Speaker:whether they're business owners, whether they're business coaches, and then
Speaker:also drop in the session where she asked me to
Speaker:meet her, Microphone just explaining, you know, maybe what, what
Speaker:my daily habits are or what my position is at
Speaker:the moment. So yeah, that's where I came from.
Speaker:So. Cool. And, and you mentioned, obviously you've been doing
Speaker:this a long, so your business for at least the
Speaker:11 years plus. So do you work at prior to
Speaker:COVID obviously, but do you work it into your business
Speaker:and the people you work with? How does that tie
Speaker:in to your main business as well?
Speaker:So the Laughter or the Podcast In
Speaker:Well, I guess both. Yeah, because they both died and
Speaker:you know, it was a Laughter relating to the Podcast
Speaker:and then,
Speaker:And so, so I mean, The with regards to the
Speaker:Laughter side of the thing, I like it. So once
Speaker:I learnt how to lead Laughter, I bought it into
Speaker:my office. I've got a team of four in the
Speaker:office. So we started doing some regular Laughter exercises and
Speaker:it wasn't not for everyone, but I certainly, I suppose
Speaker:for me as a make-up it lifts my vibration, which
Speaker:then means I can manage the business to a higher
Speaker:level. That it's always, always better. If your hanging around
Speaker:with people that have got a good, a good positive
Speaker:vibration, for sure. And then, so what I also found
Speaker:with, especially with the podcast, I think I did a
Speaker:podcast previously, probably about four years ago.
Speaker:I started a podcast and it was geared to chefs.
Speaker:It was an app that I started called. It was
Speaker:called the chef trick with the app. But what, what
Speaker:happened was I did, I just did all of the
Speaker:mistakes, you know, I didn't, I didn't record loads of
Speaker:episodes didn't we didn't get like six episodes in the,
Speaker:in the bank. I didn't, I suppose we didn't have
Speaker:the passion, didn't have the foresight to see where it
Speaker:was going to go. So I recorded for three or
Speaker:four episodes. I think it was called the stockpot. So
Speaker:they thought it was quite a good play on the
Speaker:work and yeah, it, it just sort of fizzled out
Speaker:quite quickly really. However, what I've realized since starting this
Speaker:podcast is I have got at the moment, I've got
Speaker:a 13 I'm I'm on an episode, seven live out
Speaker:in the big wide world, but I've got another eight
Speaker:in the, in the background ready to sort of go
Speaker:out.
Speaker:And what I've been thinking about it already is when
Speaker:we go back into the real world and, you know,
Speaker:retail, we are not real without hospitality, it takes off
Speaker:again, I can utilize this podcasting skills and start going
Speaker:and interviewing some chefs, interviewing some business owners, interviewing, you
Speaker:know, some, some, hopefully celebrity chefs is just to say
Speaker:it again. It, it won't be Laughter in Positivity with
Speaker:P it would be somewhere to do with it, you
Speaker:know, chef, chef I'm. And then
Speaker:You mentioned like your work with Laughter professionals. So what
Speaker:would, what would a typical The Laughter professional look like?
Speaker:Is there a professional comedian or is it someone who
Speaker:is geared, as you mentioned to bring laughter to two
Speaker:people, but what would that look like?
Speaker:So Laughter professionals. I mean, there are the, I studied
Speaker:Laughter yoga. So I mean, the average Laughter professional is
Speaker:someone that can facilitate laughing. Exercise is, and breathing exercise
Speaker:is to get the audience to release anxiety, relinquish stress.
Speaker:They can just feel better connected with their colleagues or
Speaker:their family or whoever they're with. And the most Laughter
Speaker:professionals, you know, that they're not funny, but I would
Speaker:say they're not, it's not about comedy. It's not about
Speaker:making people laugh through jokes. It's making like a it's,
Speaker:it's guiding people to laugh, fire, breathing exercises, and different
Speaker:Laughter techniques.
Speaker:And 'em so most Laughter professionals that I've met or
Speaker:more sort of life coaches or a spirit, quite spiritual,
Speaker:quite a few of them. So although I was interviewing
Speaker:some of the other day, he was a mine has
Speaker:been in my mind is for 36 years as well.
Speaker:So, you know, that's a really interesting insight.
Speaker:How did you interview her? My MRI? I don't like
Speaker:to speak.
Speaker:And then luckily he was, which is we teach. I
Speaker:just realized that how that went out actually. So yeah,
Speaker:yeah, it was a bit one-sided
Speaker:They drive the direction as a conversation that way. So
Speaker:that's cool. Now that you mentioned, obviously that the podcast
Speaker:is in it's early stages, or at least publicly, you
Speaker:got seven episodes, so on, and I noticed that at
Speaker:your guests, they talk about it. Although it's like a,
Speaker:a, a single drive in topic, the actual, we talk
Speaker:about a wider variety. So obviously as you mentioned, or
Speaker:is there anything from laughter yoga to mental health issues?
Speaker:So is it a, a, a method that you, you
Speaker:fall off to choose who you want to have on?
Speaker:So, I mean, do you have set themes for an
Speaker:episode or a month, et cetera, or is it more
Speaker:organic? What is your sort of process there?
Speaker:So? So my process is a way that I basically,
Speaker:I want to do, and I'm doing one episode where,
Speaker:where it's me to eat. It's a solo episode. Then
Speaker:the Laughter episode to the Laughter episode is I will
Speaker:look at the people that have got following, which helps.
Speaker:And they've got an audience as well, but that those,
Speaker:all their audience that doesn't tend to be really know
Speaker:their story. And that sort of my, I suppose, the
Speaker:process of how I reach out to these people who
Speaker:say that, you know, that everyone knows you as they're
Speaker:like this Laughter yoga professional, but actually, do they know
Speaker:how Laughter came into your life?
Speaker:Did they know why you, why you have Laughter as
Speaker:a, as a means to release the mental health sort
Speaker:of issues that you've had in the past? And what
Speaker:I'm finding is where with those interviews, I don't, I
Speaker:don't know any of this really, before I start. And
Speaker:I find a few different things that they will say,
Speaker:something that similar to our interview. Now, you know what
Speaker:to say? So they'll say something, but I'm not actually,
Speaker:it was really interesting. We dive a bit deeper into
Speaker:that because actually my main mission with the podcast is
Speaker:a whole is actually to bring Laughter to the masses
Speaker:rather than actually it is, you know, it's quite, it's
Speaker:quite niche. Laughter yoga. People don't know about laughter yoga.
Speaker:They don't know that they can laugh. And the reason
Speaker:why we don't know, you know, how, how it, well,
Speaker:obviously we all know when we laugh, we feel good,
Speaker:but actually we don't know that we can do it
Speaker:for no reason. And so I suppose as part of
Speaker:the Podcast mission is to go, well, actually, can I
Speaker:take the Laughter and put it into more of the
Speaker:mainstream? And like I said, Podcast, and I think Podcast,
Speaker:and this is a good medium, because people would be
Speaker:listening, whether there are running, whether they're driving to work,
Speaker:whether they're just getting all of us in chores. And
Speaker:the way I do each Laughter episode is I always
Speaker:get the, the guy's to do their favorite to laughing
Speaker:exorcizes. So it brings laughter to the podcast, which is
Speaker:really, really interesting.
Speaker:And then, sorry, the other, so the other side is
Speaker:the Positivity side. So then again, where I've, I suppose,
Speaker:run a business for the last 11 years. I know
Speaker:lots of other business owners. I know Mo I know
Speaker:the ones that do have daily habits, daily rituals that
Speaker:I, and, and they're the ones that I thought of
Speaker:being attracted to initially, because actually, I know I've seen
Speaker:them grow over the last 11 years as well through
Speaker:practicing these different Positive daily routines.
Speaker:And because I had never heard of a one I
Speaker:was looking and a good background on the show, et
Speaker:cetera. I had never, as you mentioned, I never heard
Speaker:of, you know, yoga Laughter or Laughter yoga. Sorry. I,
Speaker:I noticed some people do in a goat yoga, which
Speaker:I've thought was pretty cool. There's like a meme in
Speaker:a video collection on our Facebook and YouTube all about
Speaker:that. But how, how do w what's the biggest, I
Speaker:guess, hurdle to overcome when you're trying to explain Laughter
Speaker:yoga to people that are, that might like myself having
Speaker:heard of it and, and feel that Laughter generally comes
Speaker:from watching funny programs or shows, et cetera.
Speaker:Yeah. Completely. Okay. So when you say that, the first
Speaker:thing for, for the hurdle, I would say Laughter, it
Speaker:was just a breath and we all know how to
Speaker:breathe. And so I would basically, I would say that
Speaker:the rough, so we'd take a deep breath in for
Speaker:our nose when we take a deep breath out and
Speaker:then on the next exhale, we just let our heart,
Speaker:so we take a deep breath in and then we
Speaker:go, ha ah, and then we do another deep breath
Speaker:and the next one would just do a haha. So
Speaker:we'd take a deep breath. We go, ah, ha ha
Speaker:ha.
Speaker:And Laughter is it's in us, it's within us. So
Speaker:yeah, it's like that, like I said, the bene the,
Speaker:of a massive, or, I mean just firm that, just
Speaker:doing that little lab there, I can feel that dope
Speaker:for me, spiking. I could feel more endorphins running around
Speaker:in my brain and it just, it just makes me
Speaker:feel good. It, and so I dunno, did that answer
Speaker:your question?
Speaker:Yeah, I know for sure. And how it will be
Speaker:definitely practice and some of that later, but it's interesting
Speaker:when you were there, like, you know, using it as
Speaker:an example, it went like the Phone or one went
Speaker:from the sort of evil emperor Laughter into like someone
Speaker:who is really having a great day. It was like,
Speaker:it was funny to, is not funny. It's interesting to
Speaker:watch for that sort of progression as that laugh came
Speaker:out. Was it pretty cool? Definitely be trying that later.
Speaker:So, so Danny let let's say evil emperor, then let
Speaker:me hear you the most evil laugh.
Speaker:So most of you all will laugh would probably be
Speaker:something like a Monte Barnes, like or something like that.
Speaker:And I'm not sure So then
Speaker:Extend up for a little bit longer.
Speaker:Or do you feel that I'm sad or feeling something
Speaker:that I didn't pick a big breakfast? I was cheering
Speaker:a little bit like that, I guess,
Speaker:But then there's a little bit little chocolate and your
Speaker:voice. I can add that.
Speaker:Yeah, no, definitely. No. And I like to say it,
Speaker:I'm definitely gonna try this. It sounds like a, a
Speaker:really fun one technique and I thought of a goal,
Speaker:so it'll be easier as well. We got for some
Speaker:of, you know, I know like your shirt, as we
Speaker:mentioned, it is it's in its early stages, but how
Speaker:has it been so far? How has it been like
Speaker:an episode that stuck with your resonated, the most out
Speaker:of the guests that you've had on
Speaker:Is that it's actually like if there was a Julie
Speaker:from America, she, yeah, it was just talking about how
Speaker:she discovered Laughter in her life and she's a grief,
Speaker:a grief counselor. And the story she was telling me
Speaker:was when she first met Matt, the discover at Laughter,
Speaker:she was doing a session where she had 16 people
Speaker:that were coming too hard that day, because there were
Speaker:gonna let go of some balloons with a tiger of
Speaker:the, the last ones. And so they, they literally were
Speaker:walking up this Hill with all of these tax and,
Speaker:you know, literally two, they could have a Laughter coming
Speaker:from the other side in July.
Speaker:He was just so out of Australia, mesmerized by the
Speaker:fact that it actually all of this laughing and these
Speaker:people were laughing for no reason. But then she looked
Speaker:at the chain of people that were, were grieving and
Speaker:actually they were all smiling and laughing. And the, the,
Speaker:the fact that The Laughter rubbed off. So, you know,
Speaker:so easily to, to, to anyone really by it. But
Speaker:if you surround yourselves with people laughing at it, it
Speaker:just naturally what makes you happy?
Speaker:No, and, and that's, that's an interesting approach. I, I
Speaker:know, I, I see a lot of people now that
Speaker:have started doing that. They're like planning to run for
Speaker:funerals and their own wakes, et cetera, because they want
Speaker:it to be a celebration as opposed to, you know,
Speaker:something that's depressed and, and sad and, and makes people
Speaker:upset. And that the people that have done that, and
Speaker:we'll have insured that the, the, the celebration of the
Speaker:life of your life as a happy affair, it's amazing
Speaker:to see the people that attended and, and their emotions
Speaker:and you know, how they remember happier times as opposed
Speaker:to the sadness of the past or in the past.
Speaker:Yeah. I mean, there's another story from another guy, Mike,
Speaker:who is the, the episode is not out yet, but
Speaker:he was saying it is sort of the most memorable
Speaker:Laughter session. And he ran was with 'em. It was
Speaker:a, a, a father of someone who reached out to
Speaker:him who basically had about two weeks to live through
Speaker:with cancer. And he was invited into their house with
Speaker:a, so it was his daughter, his wife, a husband.
Speaker:And I think that you said there was like six
Speaker:of them in, in the family room or family lounge.
Speaker:And, and she just want you to organize just sum
Speaker:Laughter and just releasing, you know, all of these sorts
Speaker:of emotions were obviously inside them.
Speaker:And yeah, he said it was like probably the most,
Speaker:well, it was the most memorable, the impactful thing that
Speaker:you never done to, to actually give them the, you
Speaker:know, that, that moment together where they didn't have a
Speaker:long left with, with their dad.
Speaker:No, I know that, like you had mentioned earlier that
Speaker:you're sure sort of, he goes between having a guest
Speaker:on, and then just yourself and, and your most recent,
Speaker:like, live episode in a way you talked about the
Speaker:five people whose had the most impact on your life.
Speaker:So looking at it, the, the, the, the, the impact
Speaker:of their hard and at the advice or whatever that
Speaker:he gave you, what do you thinks been the biggest
Speaker:difference in your life or what you think the biggest
Speaker:differences in your life would have been, had it not
Speaker:been for any of these five people?
Speaker:No, I think a, you know, basically it wasn't for
Speaker:my wife, Chloe meeting, how are, you know, I don't
Speaker:really want to put a year on it because it
Speaker:was, I can't remember. So I like it was 'em,
Speaker:but, you know, she, she has helped me through out
Speaker:lots of different things and, and, you know, she has
Speaker:to be in there to get me through certainly there's
Speaker:some of the darker times, so, but do I think
Speaker:it would be a podcasting now if I had met
Speaker:her? Nope. Do I know where it would be? You
Speaker:know, I don't really want to think about that because
Speaker:I think, yeah, I'd probably still be working in a
Speaker:restaurant somewhere.
Speaker:No, I wouldn't. Yeah. It wouldn't have any drive. I
Speaker:don't believe I wouldn't have any just self about the
Speaker:vacation. And I, and I'm not saying Chloe brings that
Speaker:like completely to me, but she certainly helped when it,
Speaker:when it came to sort of giving up the gambling
Speaker:and given up all of the substances, you know, she
Speaker:was there to support me through there. And I think
Speaker:then also just, just the books, the AUDIO that I've
Speaker:listened to, the videos that are seen, the conferences that
Speaker:I've been to has just created it, you know, turn
Speaker:me into the person that I am today. You ready?
Speaker:And, and then I was speaking of change. I mean,
Speaker:you have taken quite the career changed. You feel like
Speaker:now, what else are you still have your chefy? And
Speaker:you said that you mentioned, but since COVID-19 started and
Speaker:led you More to the, the Positivity and the Laughter
Speaker:site, and obviously the Podcast launch. So do you want
Speaker:to hear more about that in differences that made for
Speaker:you? Like a, is that something you want to continue?
Speaker:Once we get back to one of the form of
Speaker:normality, it looks like after COVID or are you still
Speaker:look in a split team?
Speaker:No, I think, I think what's going to happen is,
Speaker:and it's funny enough, I'm looking at my, my book,
Speaker:which has got all of the breakup of How. I
Speaker:see the future. So we get in to still have
Speaker:the sheriff agency. That's definitely gonna meet a lot after
Speaker:11 years. There was no way we were going to
Speaker:shut that if we've got a name and, you know,
Speaker:we've got, yeah, we built a lot of track record
Speaker:there. So, but what we've done is we we'd sort
Speaker:of re looked at it, how we're positioning are time
Speaker:within the business. That it's something that Covid has done
Speaker:because the, the team are offering it at the moment.
Speaker:So we were back to back to basics, basically like
Speaker:running, like what, like we were 11 years ago when
Speaker:we first started.
Speaker:However, what we've realized is that we both got our,
Speaker:the passions that we want to pursue. So we, we
Speaker:started looking at ways that we can manage the team
Speaker:when we go back in, which will then free up
Speaker:time. I would like to think, well, now I don't
Speaker:even like to think, I know I'm going to be
Speaker:spending at least 50% of my time doing the Positivity
Speaker:and Laughter side of things,
Speaker:You know, that you had mentioned, like, this is your
Speaker:second, Podcast the first one that you kind of gave
Speaker:up, like a lot of podcasts, as you know, I
Speaker:did early doors. It wasn't the juices weren't quite flowing.
Speaker:And now you've got this show, which as you mentioned,
Speaker:you were looking to, you know, spend a lot more
Speaker:time on it. So is it a single piece of
Speaker:advice or a, a solid piece of advice that you'd
Speaker:give to a new podcasters before the jump into the
Speaker:medium?
Speaker:I definitely do some reading and this is probably a
Speaker:few bits of advice, but the first thing I did
Speaker:was a do some research. There are plenty of YouTube
Speaker:videos out there that give you all the guidance that
Speaker:you need when it comes to podcasting. And, you know,
Speaker:they, they obviously do their top three tips in, you
Speaker:know, one of the, one of the big ones is
Speaker:the fact that being consistent and to be consistent, you
Speaker:need to, if you're, if you're doing so two episodes
Speaker:you need to have, so you have enough stuff to
Speaker:talk about, but if you're in, if you are in,
Speaker:you also need to have a good lineup of guests
Speaker:and they don't have to be, you know, these big
Speaker:players that can be anyone, you can interview your best
Speaker:mate for down the road. But as long as the,
Speaker:the content, the subject you're talking about and the, you
Speaker:know, the people want to listen to, and that your
Speaker:listeners is going to get something from it, then yeah,
Speaker:go for it.
Speaker:And that's probably about three bits of advice I gave
Speaker:that. It wasn't it.
Speaker:And that's all I know I had mentioned earlier when
Speaker:we were in the green room before the show, I
Speaker:will speak to the guys from their SquadCast add the
Speaker:other week there. And one of the things that Zach
Speaker:mentioned was we get so wrapped up into the technology
Speaker:side of it, and you know how I should have
Speaker:use this microphone and what post production should we use?
Speaker:What qualities should have been gone for, what attack should
Speaker:be used in a coordinated, et cetera. And it put
Speaker:so many people off because at the end of the
Speaker:day, you don't need to find the solution on top
Speaker:of a problem arises. So if you are just starting
Speaker:Podcast and I'm like, you mention, you know, to get
Speaker:your consistency and get your Topics land up, and then
Speaker:you can get started with like a basic, you know,
Speaker:a Apple pod. My air, I like the little microphone
Speaker:is that comes with a, with smartphones, with a headphone,
Speaker:make a combination, you know?
Speaker:So it was like, you see, I think you should
Speaker:just, you know, get started in the rest will fall
Speaker:out from there.
Speaker:Definitely. And the thing, you know, ultimately it, its due
Speaker:people to pick up, this is the right word. Do
Speaker:people want to listen to what you say? That that's
Speaker:not the, you know, you've got to be passionate about
Speaker:what you're doing. And I think that's the difference between
Speaker:the podcasts that I did before. And it was when
Speaker:I did that, there was another sort of a marketing
Speaker:arm. I had it in my head for the app
Speaker:that I was doing. Whereas this time around is like,
Speaker:actually the, you know, the drive is, I want more
Speaker:people to know about Laughter yoga that ultimately is it
Speaker:and how it's changed people's lives. And you know, and
Speaker:if that, if each day I can inspire one person
Speaker:to have a laugh a for no reason at all,
Speaker:then my job's done.
Speaker:And you know, obviously I'm not, I'm not getting caught
Speaker:up in like, Oh my goodness. So you need to
Speaker:get 10,000 followers and all that. That's not what it's
Speaker:about. Is it literally each day? If I can, if
Speaker:I can bring laughter into one person's life, then, then
Speaker:this is a good day.
Speaker:No, exactly. Your impact one person as you see it,
Speaker:as better than, you know, trying to impact like those
Speaker:and fake followers
Speaker:Completely completely.
Speaker:Now one is just to switch things up a little
Speaker:bit. What is something that not a lot of people
Speaker:know about you, you know why they would have known
Speaker:you for a few years, but they don't know, you
Speaker:know, as long as your, okay, we are talking about
Speaker:all or whatever, but what does something that makes supplies
Speaker:to people about, you know,
Speaker:What did people not know about me? The thing is
Speaker:I was pretty, I am quite an open book when
Speaker:it comes to Facebook and live feeds and just being
Speaker:who I am. What is the one thing that someone
Speaker:might now know about it? I mean, I'm, I'm vegan.
Speaker:I don't drink. Mmm. That's why I say I don't
Speaker:drink I'm a 110 days without any alcohol. So congratulations.
Speaker:Yeah. No, not that I'm a reformed alcoholic or anything.
Speaker:Its just something that I've had decided to do. What
Speaker:do they, okay. Yeah. So, so, so here we go
Speaker:to somebody that people are, a lot of people wouldn't
Speaker:know about me is I did two seasons and I'll
Speaker:be fair and it was a DJ over and I
Speaker:would be first.
Speaker:So I'm up to like a thousand people in the
Speaker:crowd. So yeah, that again, how are you a few
Speaker:days? You know? So that's another part of my life,
