I don't need to say bye. They'll turn it off. Oh, yeah. No, no. Keep listening. Keep listening. Keep listening. There's podcasts to come

[00:03:49] Yeah I always was I love that word bossy and tyrannical I love that tina fey her titled her book bossy pants. Yeah, I think it was bossy I love that because it's one of those things where um strong women I'm all for them

[00:04:13] Not so much. I guess it's bossy. It's just I know what I like One of my favorite movies probably of all time is when harry met sally and when sally is a very

[00:04:22] She's high maintenance and that I love that I clung to it and the way she explained it is she just likes things the way she likes them And i'm the exact same way so I know what I want. I know how to ask for it

[00:04:32] That's a that's a gift I I have that somebody pointed out We were doing some corporate sales and some even I dabbled in multi-level marketing. No one asked me Don't do that anymore. I I enjoyed more training training people than I did doing the business

[00:04:47] However, I was with one of the gentlemen And we were I was getting again a free location for this event and asking And we left and he said Stephanie. It's so amazing to watch you work

[00:05:00] And I said what do you mean? He said you ask for the stars and moon And a lot of the you get it and then if you go a little too far

[00:05:09] It's oh Stephanie and it gets laughed off and it's not stress. It's not i'm not pushing somebody He said it's amazing. You have that gift and I didn't realize that that's how I went through life I always am the proponent of

[00:05:22] Ask ask for everything because the worst thing that says no Yeah, and it's you know as long as you don't get your feelings hurt I mean that's something else that improv was so important to me is because it's also that wonderful gift of failing

[00:05:35] That if you have the ability to embrace the failure to be okay with it stand up comedians find this that when they bomb on stage The first night it's devastating and then some start to get a hide like when I'm bombed. They're like, yeah

[00:05:47] Let's see how far you go So we so that kind of that comfort level has made me a little bit stronger I'm also one of these people that I do not do well with bullies ever since I was a child

[00:05:57] My older sister was bullied. I just remember as a little kid looking up at them like yelling like leave my sister alone I was this chihuahua like oh my god

[00:06:06] Like I was always somebody that I just wasn't afraid to ask for what I want to really you know push the boundaries Push my limits and speak out and I'm very upfront

[00:06:16] That's why a lot of my close friends are guys because I always find that that male energy of just say it to someone's face Is way more powerful and you can get things done and move forward versus talking about people behind their back

[00:06:28] I'm like, I have no time for this Because I want to move forward I will say I agree, but I will say the bit about talking about your back because I remember some I'm all about that

[00:06:40] No, I'm all about venting. I think venting is something that yeah venting is really good in the kind of uh So for the next 20 minutes you get to complain about my cat and I get to say yeah, I hate him

[00:06:49] He's the worst. I'm gonna get rid of him tomorrow. You're so right and into him and say do I go cuddling proper There you go. Well, you know what that's that's what partners are for You know when people like don't tell anyone and you're like, okay

[00:07:01] Not no problem and then you immediately go home. You're gonna tell your partner because they go care Like yeah, not gonna So you would need definitely you need somebody to to you know vent Do you think you would do you think you would do well with a partner?

[00:07:14] As the leader of your own country or would you need soul rule? Uh, that's a really good question. Um, I think I think it would have to probably be the ideal situation is sort of like in my marriage

[00:07:27] I would be like the queen and then it would be the queen consort just lesser down just a slight step A little bit down even if I did have a king and I was a queen. I think I would totally be lady mcbeth

[00:07:38] I would be pulling the strings. Like this is how it goes because I can yeah It's just I've always been in relationships where I'm the stronger of them But it's more because I'm high maintenance and my husband is low maintenance

[00:07:50] So there have been a few things where he put his foot down and said like for example when we were having our children He said I want them all to have my name. I kept my my maiden name because his last name is butcher

[00:08:00] And I'm like, I do not look like a butcher. I'm an error like I'm like a rara I can't so but he said I want all I want the kids to have my name And I was like, okay, like he just doesn't ask me for things. So yeah

[00:08:11] A few times he said this is what I'd like and I give it to him Whereas I'm like I want this and this and this and this has to go this way

[00:08:17] And this and like you walk into our home and he's like he'll pick up one thing and he's like these are mine Everything This is her thing so he so I need somebody to be more of

[00:08:30] Any but he's my confidant. He's my I go to him for advice. He's also my my director So when I had improv troops or you know running shows I would give notes to the performers because it usually was my show. I you know, uh, and I'd usually have

[00:08:46] Performers I used over and over again. So to better I would direct them and and say, you know Give notes at the end and then on their ride home. I'd go Okay, I'm ready for my notes and he go okay

[00:08:57] Etsy and he was the one that paid attention and gave me so I get somebody That you can look to yeah Yeah, they can give me some guidance but that but I still have to be that queen and then the queen's consort

[00:09:10] I thought you were gonna say that he would turn around to him say look. I need all our children to Be boys and be like I don't think you can I think you're unreasonable there

[00:09:21] But you know what we had two boys we had two boys and two girls So I say to I say to people we did that on purpose. So yeah, they couldn't say they wanted one of something else

[00:09:29] No, no, no even yeah, that's that's that's fair. No, but that's why we have two boy and girl cats And to be completely even by the way you mentioned you'd be queen. So what would your official height will be? Would you go with queen stefanie?

[00:09:40] Um, I probably oh gosh queen stefanie. I didn't even think of a title. Um, no Did you go royalty? No, uh, I kind of I almost wanted to say goddess But that's too much because that I don't want to get into the worshiping stuff. That's that's stop it

[00:09:55] Yeah, but you could be a bashful goddess Yeah, I think ruler. I think just the the ruler it's because I love that term president I like you know the leader. I like leader ruler Kind of so you just want the ruler

[00:10:08] Uh, no, maybe leader or our fearless leader. I love that term So we just be fearless leader that would be our official title and then when people speak about you They'd say our fearless leader. Yes Exactly

[00:10:20] And if I'm being a chicken about something and I'm like, oh, I'm not sure if I can do this Did you think they'll be like well fearless leader? I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, I better keep up. Yeah. Yeah, I better

[00:10:28] Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, okay something that I can attain I can Strive for as well. No just checking what if someone is um not calling you fearless fearless leader So I don't know if you meet people and they're just saying hey Hey

[00:10:43] Old stefie anything happening to him. Are we reprimanding me? I think I think there probably would be if I don't know them Then there will be something I'd reprimand for sure if it's friends because I mean instantly I have that that sort of um

[00:10:56] That personality that as soon as someone meets they're like, this is Stephanie and we talk for a bit They're like, okay, Steph like immediately I get I get shortened I always so I don't have too much of a problem

[00:11:04] But if it's somebody that I haven't met just wanted the peasants the citizens Exactly, I might be like Maybe you should rethink that term uh because I can be I can't be a pretty strong Sorry hard ass in the sense that if you're gonna be fearless leader

[00:11:19] Exactly fearless and feared. Oh fearless and feared. No, I don't I don't want to be feared I would yeah, but that's but in terms of the yeah, there is fear in that word guys

[00:11:29] Uh that I can I can be pretty hard ass in the sense that a lot of times people think that because I am a creative And I'm a writer actor that I'm automatically a liberal person that I am all that and I'm like

[00:11:42] I don't know guys because my perfect world and this kind of ties into your question My perfect world is a total police state My husband's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, no imagine if we're like cameras everywhere

[00:11:54] You know what's a crime to happen and they're like does anyone have any camera footage anyone? I'm like, oh in my world there Everyone it would be like the show like they would have a headquarters and everyone's being watched

[00:12:06] And and my husband's like you're insane and I'm like, you know what if if you're not doing anything wrong You have nothing to fear. Are you being watched? So do you have cameras all on you or are we just like blurring you out?

[00:12:16] Yeah, I think everybody like when I walk out and if I get hit by a car they're gonna know from all angles who that person That's like I want everybody now inside your house

[00:12:24] I think there can be obviously because again we talked about you should be able to vent What do you say in your home is perfectly, you know legit, but once people step outside Yeah cameras everywhere. Um, I I love this concept of

[00:12:39] Respect, I love it that that sort of Japanese culture of respect like you you're gonna line up to get on the bus You're not gonna shove you're not later on the street because somebody else

[00:12:48] You know this that this is other people's place like I love that term of respect that I think if people are being watched There could be a little bit smarter about what they do and and I love that term um, I love that character that

[00:13:01] Um, uh that was on no parks and rec. It was oh god. I've just forgotten his name too. I don't know It wasn't general feel is it? No, it was Fred armistan played the present

[00:13:12] I guess the president or delegate of venezuela and he had this whole thing about he was so shocked at how things were run in America He had this term that he said if you do this you would go to jail

[00:13:25] And he did this surprisingly jail right to jail go to jail I laugh and go that's what my country would be like if you You know start calling me staff or I don't really like her or I ain't gonna do that to jail You're into jail

[00:13:39] Yeah, if you're rude to jail There would be like a stupid you could get a ticket for being stupid to jail Like you can get like written up So I would be very very

[00:13:48] Cautious because there's so many people out there that are just not considerate of other people People that speed and cut you off. I always say to my kids

[00:13:55] Oh dear that person's the most important person in the world like that kind of tunnel vision of I'm more important than anyone No to jail so What if So so they're going to jail like how long are they going to jail for if they call you step

[00:14:11] Okay, well, I don't know about the step thing. They'll get warning. They'll get a ticket But they keep doing it like three or four times now in a day Uh, I think you know what it would be and my jails would probably be more

[00:14:21] Rehabilitation like they would have to take Manners classes they would have to do, uh, you know clean the streets and stuff. I love that the change things back Bring back the change games Make these because again a lot of times people Are bored

[00:14:38] Just around in a cell. What are you gonna do make do something contributed to the to society? There would be Classes they're involved in getting you in a frame of mind of others, you know consider other people So it's let's jail. It's it's it's community service Yeah

[00:14:56] Yeah, you'd have to do a major crime and I don't think yeah, then you know Hey, I'll bring the death penalty back and people start killing other people like Yeah, I'm I'm all I'm so not liberal. It's it's so sad

[00:15:09] Liberal in a lot of ways. I love the arts. I know the importance of it, but I don't think Uh people should and I hear this a lot that artists complain when grants start getting cut

[00:15:19] And my husband my husband who works hard in a you know hands. He's like a like a man's man He's got a right. His hand he could die at work kind of thing

[00:15:28] He's like my taxpayer dollars are for people who like really really want to put a play on like like really Like there's a scale of importance in the world like that's cool That he's got to pay for them because they

[00:15:40] On stage or they want to you know, he's just like oh and I said no I feel for you In that sense and I think it's just again goes back to respect and I think

[00:15:50] One of the things I always said all my life was I think that in my world Everyone has to for a for a year. They have to ride a bike. They have to ride a bike a bicycle Did I get to go off for a full year now?

[00:16:02] They can't but at some point like they have to put in miles like maybe they'll have a Reap you have to be able to ride a bike and you have to get around riding a bike in the city

[00:16:10] You have to then do a year of driving because some people are like I don't like cars You have to drive and you have to be waiter or waitress in a restaurant So if everybody had to do those things they would be when they drive

[00:16:22] They would be more cautious of bikes because they've been in that position where they, you know, dangerous vice versa and also waiting on tape like something about waiting on tables And serving people and having that experience makes you way more considerate when you're out and people are serving

[00:16:38] Yeah, I get that. Yes. Yes. And it's also like it drives me crazy that every time somebody gets up from the dinner table And they're not taking things with them or when they come back bringing like to me. I'm like, what are you doing?

[00:16:48] They didn't wait or ever my kids and my husband never were I'm like, hey take the Yeah, yeah, just just as you're going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And if you think about it a couple of generations into this ruling this island

[00:17:00] Like you're gonna have people more considered just by kind of like but default You won't even need half those cameras or you can leave in there but switch them off

[00:17:06] They won't even realize and then they're just gonna naturally you might if you need to save a bit of money general coming up to Christmas Absolutely, or we can make it more of an entertainment factor and go straight Truman show where you can

[00:17:18] Clips of the funny things that happen because people do this too. Like I remember there were two women Somebody said I got permission. I taught I found the women in the neighborhood They slipped on some mud or something right in front of her driveway to her

[00:17:31] Camera her home camera caught it and the women fell and the other one woman tried to help and she fell And the two women were on the ground just howling with laughter and you can't do anything but laugh

[00:17:41] She said I found them. I asked permission. I put this up. This just made by like it was so funny And and we just and i'm like, yeah, why not? Why not have funny things that happen that people can watch um If you're the fearless leader what

[00:17:54] See what we do is we create an island for you. We don't like you don't take over a part of Canada or anything Right, okay We yeah, we don't we don't condone that yet on this podcast until we get 10 000 listeners, but um, we're gonna make you an island

[00:18:08] So where would you place your island in the world? And i'll even be helpful because I can go and share Get a map the thing is I love having seasons because it sounds beautiful to have an island

[00:18:20] But for me, I love being able to get so it's got to be somewhere That maybe there's mountains or something that you can go and experience snow. That's what I loved about uh the the whole Perfect the whole thing with um, uh

[00:18:37] Australia is you can be on a beach you can be in the desert you can be in the snow Like a man's snowy mountains. It's gotta be something So where would an island be that would you be more into warm or cold weather in general?

[00:18:50] I know you kind of like the difference, but I think I think warm But with that option you can get somewhere that has some cold. Where would that be in the world? Farms India no where in the world would that be would you

[00:19:03] Would you want to run the Atlantic then like around east coast? Yeah, I can't really think of maybe or maybe the west coast would be Like on the other side. What are all like by

[00:19:14] Seattle, Oregon kind of thing. Yeah, because then probably yeah because you can get some seasons still well I guess on either side, but Kind of that line in here right because even if you went completely the abstraction open by Japan

[00:19:26] That that has mountains of snow and stuff, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, so you go around there. So would you go you think around west coast? Yeah, I think so. Yeah

[00:19:38] For me it's just a different experience because when I because I'm in the east coast and when I go to the west in Canada I can't believe That's Canada. There's yeah, it's the mountain range. It's so different. Yeah

[00:19:49] Well, there feels there's starfish like is it completely never know Like I'm just like is Canada because I'm so I'm also kind of landlocked. I mean Ontario is right back in the middle

[00:19:58] We're on a lake. Yeah, I'm a lake girl. So to me to be on oceans. I'm always blown away Not literally blown away you can yeah. Yeah, you could refine like it's nice. Okay. Um, so if we put the island west coast

[00:20:11] Where what would you name your island? Would you go with your own name? Oh probably Yeah, like steftopia or something something so yeah, you wouldn't go with uh, Herrera. No No, I think yeah, because that's yeah Herrera That's my colonised name is Herrera

[00:20:36] I'll go yeah, what could we make out of stef Stephanie? uh God i'm trying to see if I can point any other country name, but I don't think stef kind of lends itself to us um So you will you just go with steftopia?

[00:20:51] Yeah, maybe steftopia. Yeah, shangra shangra stef um Shangrista oh yes, yes, yes stay uh Oh, I actually kind of like Shangri-La la that's kind of fun because people I love I'm a big christmas music person that to the detriment of my teenagers or most of them

[00:21:09] They hate christmas music and that's all I play all like for the entire month of december It's always christmas music in my car. So and I love music and I love musicals. And so yeah, shangra la la might be fun Shangra la la. Yeah um

[00:21:22] People could break out into song anytime they want. They'll have a good national anthem as well. I imagine A boppy national anthem Fun one. Yeah, absolutely But yeah, it's sort of like and I also grew up in the era of fame

[00:21:35] Did you did you get that tv show fame that it was about the musical art school? So there's this one famous scene when they start singing in the school and then they burst out the scores

[00:21:45] And they're on new york, you know stop traffic and they're dancing on cars and i'm like that's my life I just want I love musical like we're having those Um those opportunities that if you're so in love with someone or you're so frustrated

[00:21:59] And that's the beautiful power of musicals is you are having such an intense emotion You can't do anything else but sing And I love that concept of musical So if you are so angry at someone or so in love with somebody or so in great mood

[00:22:13] You're like this is the best day and the music comes out of the speakers Would you you put speakers around the island? Right? Sure. Yeah, because you've got cameras Then somebody could go hey we're we can see that Think again. Sorry I love that

[00:22:30] So why not blare some music and everyone can kind of like stop what they're doing they can join in I mean, I had a A musical improv troupe and a lot of people are familiar with it

[00:22:39] There's no you know, they just start singing if the words will come just figure it out people will back you up And you get a little a little time to sing and if you're too in a hurry You can just go up there

[00:22:50] It goes another one and go on with your day or if you're like i'll join in Yeah, you'll catch the next one anyway They're probably happening every day or two anyway Somebody think about

[00:23:00] Shangri-La already sounding fun, but I will I'll just me I'll just clarify that the behavior of those fame Actors where they jump out of the school and they jump up on all the care singing. That's not uh

[00:23:11] That that's not allowed on Shangri-La right you can't just jump up on care singing Well, I yeah, I mean there there there is that still the police day exactly If you're stopping traffic no absolutely to jail. No. Yeah. Yeah To jail to yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[00:23:25] You can't you have to be courteous You still have to have the respect and courteousness of the people around you, but there's nothing like a red light You can jump up on the car if it's green light. Absolutely. Yeah

[00:23:34] It's like the uh, what's that the the red the traffic light musicals those little short ones that um Oh, what's his name does? Uh Oh god Jeremy yeah, karaoke James carbon Yes, yeah I'm gonna say Jeremy carbon. I think he's an english James

[00:23:53] Yeah, Jim James James Jim. Well, you might know him better than I but I call him Yeah, yeah, you call him Jim. I call him James. Yeah, exactly So if you want to dance across the street, you gotta wait till the red light and then red danger

[00:24:05] People's cars. There's a lot of dense in the car. This is one notice feature. I've noticed about Shangri-La Um, oh wait a minute my questions are all gone. Um Oh on your island. It's already very musical heavy. Um

[00:24:20] Does it a fearless leader allow I'll give you two options here. It's a bit instead of complete like improv on it, but um You know, you're not gonna really want to maybe run all the more boring aspects of the everyday life of running a government

[00:24:34] So you have to have people around you. So would you prefer to have Like an inner council of maybe 10 people and that's your job to run everything or would you rather Let the citizens will say 10 million citizens

[00:24:46] Would you let them elect a senate have 100 senators and and you know, they have some form of Uh being able to vote then but you have ultimate say over everything Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I've got veto power for sure

[00:24:59] Um, I think what I'd like to do is one of the things that my husband actually brought up and I was like, oh, yeah You're right. He said things like presidents

[00:25:06] um elected officials they usually get you know a four-year term and then they have to move on and only ones that don't Are senate senate people like the people that really make the decisions

[00:25:16] And so that's why we have like 90 year old old white guys running the country and they had no idea what they're doing That I would be like well, that's not going to happen in mind that you have to retire But then bring back that sort of indigenous

[00:25:29] Elder, you know, we have our elders. So they're the mentors Yes You can provide and get advice that they're sort of that side Like I'm like if I have a problem or there's a problem

[00:25:38] We'll go go talk to the elders and if you start talking to like well This is what I would suggest and you listen to them And if they ever say anything like but the negroes are suspicious, you're like

[00:25:52] They start getting in my day women in their pose like no, okay, we're done But they do have wisdom. They have a life experience So why not use them to their best ability which is just advice And then you can take it or leave it

[00:26:04] So I love going to the elders and and hearing their wisdom but not putting them in power So I think and I love that other term somebody said once there was a meme that they would

[00:26:15] They would love to see that instead of the Hollywood actors becoming these like uber like the marvel The marvel heroes that it's just a lottery and somebody could text in oh, I can't come to work today. I have to be spider-man

[00:26:27] Like I love that. It's like jury duty Yeah, so I think So I think running the country. Um, I would love to see a balance of elected But also the people that really make decisions

[00:26:40] It's a lottery like one day you're just like, oh, I gotta you know for the next year I can't I can't you know be Start out the city coming or whatever or it's you have to you have to come up

[00:26:51] Like if you're probably the best, I mean even accountant Let's say like your numbers are great You're really good at it. You're you've proven yourself Then you might be called up to the government agent like our government body to say

[00:27:04] We're having trouble with our budgets. Like it's not working out. You're doing this for a year Yeah, like you come and help us fix this and people would Just but I love that lottery that it's sort of that because that's what exactly you said jury duty is

[00:27:17] It's random people from the community that make a decision of a person's You know From this whole Legal battle like it's it's uh or a lawsuit of some sort. That's that's a lot of responsibility

[00:27:28] So why not have people have to come up and say oh, well, I can't be uh, I can't be sitting home watching television On unemployment this week. I gotta go run the country. Sorry Do you think then as well if you have someone who's sitting there?

[00:27:40] So mary is sitting at home and she's like, I'll get a job next month. It's fine I have loads of money left in my account and then they get a letter saying You have to be a minister of the justice system and then for the next year

[00:27:54] Like if she at the end of the year goes all right, listen I did not know that um, you know mass murder was an actual crime ever else in the world

[00:28:04] That was a new one. I'm sorry. I let them out of jail. Can she be punished for letting everyone like at the end of year Can it be like you screwed up? You're I think yes. Yes, absolutely because it is a police state still so right to jail

[00:28:17] I truly believe that people do have to be accountable for their decisions like we're having a lot of issues with um Governments in power here that take millions and millions and millions of dollars taxpayer dollars to do things like

[00:28:30] Create a nuclear power plant that never gets made and all that money And and i'm like wait, don't they have to pay that back and my husband's like no Nobody has like all of these politicians can just steal money and never have to pay it back

[00:28:43] So I think that that you're that that having that over your head like make decisions But make smart ones because if you waste a lot of money or or pay off family and friends or do any of that

[00:28:55] You gotta pay it back. Yeah, that's that's fair. No, I love these prisons are going to get very big Both that's fine. We have the room. Um What house are you going to live in what type of house do you want built on the island?

[00:29:08] Like are you gonna live in the city or are you gonna live outside in the mountain area or the Yeah, um, I want to I want to have there's I love those those kind of like castles that are on hills that have like that one

[00:29:18] Direct road down into the city So drop those castles. I'd love to have grandiose Beautiful. Yeah, I want something really really nice and pretty with turrets and Like kind of medieval but a bit modern like you can you can have wifi and well heated. Yeah, that's well insulated

[00:29:34] Yeah, but it's also something that it would be but be also part of the public where if somebody's getting married Well, it's obviously going to be at the castle because it's the most beautiful place

[00:29:44] So it would be open though for tours and for you know for for celebrations Because I don't want parades and crap blocking up traffic So they would come through the the grounds of the of the path. That's where your parades are

[00:29:59] That's where your demonstrations are that's where you know, oh and people could campaign I even again instead of a lottery Do the old style like the old a British style of the people that would go down to the town square with their apple boxes

[00:30:12] And they'd stand on it They're shouting stuff and if you get enough of a crowd your ideas are going to go somewhere And I love that so come out to the garden like every month people will come ago I think these are our problems and people will Negotiate

[00:30:26] They do that. I think still in in Hyde park in london. They have ports corner. That's it. I'm so jealous It's funny that I think they'll stand up and they'll say like here's my poem enough. They'll they'll recite it, you know

[00:30:38] Um, so you want this sort of building? Something like that But I want elevators and insulation That's Dracula's castle. That's perfect. We'll make you Dracula's. Oh amazing. Oh There you go. Um, okay. Do you want a throne room or do you want to

[00:30:56] Oh for people to like a visitation room. I don't think I need that You don't want a throne or anything kind of too fancy No, no, I don't think so. I want to be able to to kind of walk amongst the people

[00:31:07] Uh, I don't so I don't need uh, I don't think I well, I shouldn't need a bulletproof car Because if my citizens are respectful and and have a good time I won't need it

[00:31:16] But I'd love to be able to go out and and just hang out like we and again cameras everywhere We don't need paparazzi. We don't need to be followed. That's true. You've ruined a paparazzi business

[00:31:26] Everybody can see it everybody if everyone's just acting normal then, you know, there's no reason why I can't And also people that do things like, you know, the city planners And the people that decide which light gets the advanced car heat and all that stuff They

[00:31:42] Specifically have to take the public transit for a year like anybody. Yes. Good idea. Yes The ones that are driving cars that are not in rush hour Like everybody who's in charge of anything have to be working directly from that you can't get a

[00:31:58] Outside source to come in going hey, guess what? You're gonna manage, you know the the food right now I don't know anything like no, you're gonna get one of your workers who's been in it or you know A mom feeding a family of six. She's in charge now

[00:32:12] Yeah, you you um I you mentioned there about you driving around you don't need a bulletproof car because I mean I never said your citizens were unhappy with you. So yeah, no absolutely

[00:32:22] Um, would you would they be in trouble if they jumped up on your car and started dancing when it was stopped? Well, then will they go straight to jail because that would stop the car Yes, perfect

[00:32:33] Side of the street and then you're like, oh, that's great. Maybe I'll come in for a verse It's it's working out Apart from the largest jails and the largest spontaneous musical Numbers in the world What unusual list would your country be top of?

[00:32:51] Uh, I think our education would be completely turned on its head. I would have The all children would have to take improv classes. Everyone has to take improv classes. That's a must That increases confidence creativity pristine instincts They all have to take like we mentioned manners classes

[00:33:10] Home ec all kids should know how to cook and sew and do their laundry and clean a home And uh trades I think that some kids just don't do well with computers or math or whatever that they gravitate

[00:33:26] I always loved stories like brave new world and things like that. Yeah, I'm so twisted in that where you're literally If people are good at something that's what they do So if you've got a kid that doodles all the time and draws and has no interest in math

[00:33:39] That's fine. Then then Yes, go do what you love because you're doing well Are you removing any classes just because you're adding a lot there? You know as I didn't problem everything else. Are you removing any kind of standard classes?

[00:33:52] Are we getting rid of geography? You should know what you should pick that up as you're doing the other stuff or Uh, I oh the standard stuff. Yeah, I think everybody should learn how to write an essay

[00:34:01] There you go. Yes. Yeah, you should be able to speak eloquently And again, yeah, like just yeah, I guess basic math is always smart. I would bring back times tables

[00:34:11] I don't know about in ireland, but they got rid of kids memorizing the times tables. We don't do that anymore Yeah, totally got rid of it. They because they've new math whatever that is which is so confusing

[00:34:22] Yeah, and calculators, but they're teaching them this new math that is so convoluted when you could just go What's five times six? Like they're the kids don't know that they took away cursive And I think if we're really gonna I also my mom is in the generation

[00:34:37] She had to learn latin and I went wow, that's kind of weird But now I'm like god. I wish I heard latin why not bring back the dead language because it's the basis of all these languages, right?

[00:34:47] So she gets upset when someone says they're uninterested when when it's actually Because she's like well because the latin root is the bridge and I'm like bring back cursive Bring back latin bring back so that way you'll be able to pick up

[00:35:00] But again if a kid is suffering and they're like I can't get through french or spanish or latin Yeah, it's fine. You tried just try. Maybe that's my motto just try Kids should try is is the motto of

[00:35:14] Shangri-La Shangri-La Shangri-La la that's it. Um, I remember doing something I'm gonna actually propose this because it's one thing that I remember in school is that Obviously I speak English. I can speak very little irish Um, but when we learned irish in school like we would start off

[00:35:31] In whatever class learning irish. Do you call it irish though? Isn't it? Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Okay. Yeah, but I suppose when we started off learning that it was like It wasn't here is some basic words and in basic phrases and everything else

[00:35:45] It was just here is a poem by an irish writer in go ahead irish So we would just like learn the lines Of the poem, but you wouldn't know what any of it means You'd just be reciting like you might as well just be going

[00:35:59] Like it means nothing and that was you learning irish and you're like but that's What's the good like what's the point in me taking up german and just reciting a german poem when I have no idea What any of it means?

[00:36:11] So that's that's one thing i'd say if you're gonna do like languages like latin no point just reciting you know One of roman emperors books when it's written in latin when you're like, I don't know what this guy's talking about

[00:36:23] Yeah, it's not to be conversational. We briefly spoke at the beginning about before we started this about immigration and i'm all for immigration but I think communication is so crucial that if you're coming to my country the first language because it's my first language is english

[00:36:38] Like everybody has so if you come in you have to know english And but if you come with another language that probably would that most likely might be a language that other people speak because

[00:36:49] We're open to learning languages and how yeah, so it's not about right because with french I used to be able to write in french. I couldn't speak any because I had because it's not It's not a phonetic language. So yeah, i'm like this useless

[00:37:02] I can write out people but I couldn't speak to them. Yeah, so absolutely like you said It's got to be conversational It's got to be something that is fun to learn like getting the best teachers that are entertaining Because yeah, there's there's

[00:37:16] And the dead languages too. I mean I guess french. I mean a lot of a lot of countries speak Your schools are gonna be about 16 hours long though Oh, no

[00:37:24] Well, you know what and I have no trouble having school throughout the school year if you have shorter school schedules And just do it through the school year and make sure that schools are air conditioned in the summer

[00:37:34] Like that drives them crazy that they don't have the kids comfortable and I love how was it was it? Uh, was it Iceland or Norway or Sweden like all those schools have this approach where the kids

[00:37:45] You know learn but most of the time they're outside. They're outside playing Burning they're exploring they're you know, I'd like to learn about this. Okay, and they teach them and yeah, yeah

[00:37:56] And and also the health benefits that a lot of those when when they do things like they sit in saunas every day recess sauna rolling the snow back inside and that you know those kind of those kind of um uh health benefits have been proven to

[00:38:11] Uh to lengthen your life to help your your health that I'm more about I love the concept of free health care It's not free. We pay for it with our tax. Yeah, I love that concept But I think we can be better at

[00:38:24] Giving families like you know instead of putting fluoride and chlorine in our water Why aren't we putting in vitamin D like so and making sure that fruits and vegetables are cheaper than a box of

[00:38:34] macaroni and cheese like there should be ways to make sure our population is healthier for longer than Because that's going to put down costs in other areas as you said like in health if you have the population that's generally better

[00:38:47] In better health then your health system should be spending less money To to react to things. Okay, sounds good I mean as I said free health care and I guess it's like free education

[00:38:58] As I said you still pay for it but true taxes as opposed to private schools Or would you go with private schools as well? I think I think everybody should have that option That's one thing that is is struggling right now because we do have this

[00:39:11] This universal health care already and now people are saying well, you know people with money Maybe they should be able to get private care and have you know doctors available to them on call and whatever and everyone

[00:39:20] But if we do that then all it's going to shift and i'm just like you know what if people have money And they can afford a doctor a private doctor go for it like I don't think that should be There should be private clinics

[00:39:31] I think so that you don't have to wait in line for four hours In a room with people coughing and hacking and you just need a prescription bill Like there should be a way to have Privatized and universal at the same time Why wait?

[00:39:45] Yep, this is this is completely off topic, but I was going to ask um, do you have a favorite movie franchise? Oh gosh uh No, I don't think I do That's the last one you might have seen of a franchise

[00:39:59] I mean we gave up on marvel a couple years ago That was a big that was a big family trip was going to marvel series

[00:40:06] But now they're so terrible and they're so CGI that i'm like, I don't even like these anymore. What was your favorite one of those? For you like yeah, I mean iron man was great. They're you know, the I enjoyed every single new spider man

[00:40:19] The new ones. Yeah, tom Holland number two yeah, tom holland Garfield and I love toby maguire like everybody who does one I'm like, I love it. But then they start getting into two and three and i'm like they've lost it

[00:40:34] I mean again, I liked harry potter up till he became a teenager and then he was a whiny teenage boy I imagine the power of all the money in the world. I'm so special and shut up your teenage boy Yeah, that's world problems

[00:40:46] So I always get to a point in a franchise where i'm like i'm kind of done Um, okay. I was just wondering I have bad news for you though One of your hey, we can say one of those old older wise people come to you and say look

[00:40:59] Um, there's a scandal about to come out about you Um, people aren't gonna be happy right now the approval rate and it's 94 percent But it's actually gonna go down once this scandal hits gonna read 74. So it's quite

[00:41:10] Bad as a bit of a drop. Um, people don't want to like get rid of you but they're just very disappointed For some reason, I don't know how this works this question, but you get to pick what scandal it is

[00:41:19] So what scandal do you think would come out about you? This is light entertainment podcast, by the way, so Let's keep that in mind. What don't don't admit to a murder. Okay. Don't know. Yeah, although i'm in ireland

[00:41:31] So I guess I wouldn't be because we're in different jurisdictions. I wouldn't hey if you're gonna admit to it all you want Um, I think oh gosh, what's a good scandal? Um, didn't get involved money Probably knowing me probably

[00:41:46] Money, um, I don't think I would steal money, but I would oh maybe Maybe I would make a weird deal with like um, because I really I'm really into um, uh My mom calls me shallow and I am uh, but beauty products

[00:42:03] Like I would do something like because apparently in europe you have the most Advanced things where you can actually build collagen like you've got whether it's supplements or things you can put on your skin That is not approved by health canada So I would probably

[00:42:18] Bring in things that are not cleared by like I would if If I can get stem like infant stem cell the fetus fetal stem cells, I'll do it

[00:42:28] I'll put it in my face like whatever so the scandal would be she's trying to stay young forever and she did He imported some things that haven't been cleared first before anybody else

[00:42:40] Maybe that's my scandal of I'm just I'm not as young and youthful. I'm doing things just a blood of Arctic circle seals and stuff like that Yeah, I'm in a yeah I'm in a lab like I'm getting into chambers that know and breathing things in

[00:42:53] I'm a human guinea pig I will do what I can to live the longest and be the youngest and youthful as I possibly He's turning into dracolas castle. Yeah, no, okay Yeah, that works. This works until you're in okay, so

[00:43:07] I want to be immortal you want to be immortal. Okay, so a mortal gate is the is the scandal and Speaking of favorite movies one of my uh all time favorite ever since I was a kid was the dark crystal

[00:43:18] And skexie so I would be like a skexie's draining the the life essence of my podlings I thought you were gonna say that becomes her. Wasn't that same? I wouldn't make a deal with the devil. I don't want to owe anybody anything

[00:43:32] But I will go to great lengths like the stuff that I come home with I've burnt my flesh I I do the micro needling where they take my blood and spin it and put it back on my mother cutting up my face

[00:43:42] Like I do might come home and I'll all swollen and red. My husband's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm beautiful Kiss me I'll do it. So your advisors say um Our fearless leader. I mean you have to be fearless to do that. Um

[00:44:01] We think you should go on, you know, like frost versus nixon And we think you need to do that to explain because your your approval rating's gone down 20. This is this is bad. Um and 84 people say not really beautiful at the last one. Um

[00:44:17] But yeah, we think you should do that. So do you mind going on stage with anderson is the newscaster? New did a journalist Let's do it. You would do it. Um Okay. Yeah, I'm coming back from a break anderson would be like

[00:44:30] Our fearless leader. Thank you very much. Um for coming on the show today Absolutely, you can hear me. Oh, yes, you can hear me. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I'm here because I uh would love to clear things up

[00:44:42] And I support my people. Okay, perfect. Um, and and i'm glad to see your places cleared up as well from the last, um Injection steps fantastic I do have to get on we were talking about your economy and the last musical dance members that have been brilliant

[00:44:56] I have to ask about a mortality gate a mortal gate Uh people want to ask why I think it's because life is to be lived And I want to live it as long as I can and why not live it looking good because if I look good

[00:45:12] You all feel great about seeing my face. I can be an inspiration. It's really if you flip it It's all about you guys. Why not? I'll I'll take the reins alt experiment

[00:45:22] And then open it up to other people and then say and give you my advice because I should be the one that gives Advice and and feedback about things that i'm going to share. I'm eventually going to share it all just you you'll share the

[00:45:34] Secrets once you have the formula done for for the amorphous Absolutely not people in jail though. No no and a lot of people are in jail We have not told them but we do have footage here of you taking part in one of the many musicals

[00:45:49] And it does look like your face actually slips off. You have to put it back on you can see you here Picking her up off of an odd e-t. Yes. Well, that was that was a new uh Product that I was using in a new kind of treatment

[00:46:01] Yes, it didn't go well But again, that is just showing you folks that all go to lengths to try things if they fail Let it be on me Let me have these moments pay for my flights out to other countries to do this because once I've

[00:46:15] I've got it down pat as a science and an art. I'm going to share it to you We don't want everyone's faces. We're gonna. Yeah, we're gonna slip on them if everyone's face drops off Yes, this is your chance to let me just continue what i'm doing

[00:46:27] Believe and trust that I know what i'm doing and then when I perfected it It's going to get released and that's not going to happen again So you're going to promise immortality to people

[00:46:36] I I don't know if I can promise but I'm I'm going to promise I'm going to work my hardest To to reach immortality. So you're going to work yourself today To get immortality is what you're saying work myself to death tonight

[00:46:48] Yes, and you're going to put this country in debt as well So much in debt because eventually that's gonna that could be potentially one of our greatest exports if we

[00:46:58] Master this then other countries and other leaders are going to come to is going. How did you do that? And then that will be our our main export is Is youth fountain of life right here people will come here

[00:47:09] And we could be a destination place for the for the very wealthy to to get better and younger and healthier Okay, um, so That's very exciting. I mean you're you're you're not promising wink wink or fearless leader, but you're you you

[00:47:24] Percentage chance of you becoming immortal out of 100 Out of 100 Let's say 20. Oh, oh god. Okay But I think it's worth it 20 percent At a chance of living forever. Yeah, okay forever. Okay. Um, will you be experimenting on other people?

[00:47:44] As in will you be draining the blood of other people? In your heart not at this time. Can we expect it in the next six months? immortality no, I mean I mean Siphoning off the blood of of peasants in your country

[00:47:58] Oh, not at all. No, no, no, I think that that if that happened it would be Desperate measures and I feel very confident what I'm doing is on the right track right now So I can't ever and it would infringe on our beliefs here in jangrelala

[00:48:11] of respect and uh, you know in the old wise words of the wicked people Uh, do what you will harm no one and so that's that's not a my prerogative right until you're desperate No plans in place yet. That's perfect

[00:48:25] Yeah, okay, and and I look forward to seeing our desperate fearless leader. Um, okay. Yeah, we're gonna go to break That's fantastic. By the way, just gonna add there when they come back from break there or while they're on break they would say to you um

[00:48:37] First of all, we're very well done. You handle the situation and you promised you Promised in quotes immortality because that's all people hurt immortality would be for the people but They would make a documentary about you know, I'll be honest. It's a bit of propaganda

[00:48:52] Would you want to give them a fantastical fact about you that they can mention in your in your documentary? We can make this up, you know, you can do whatever you want. Uh, how about I Huh? We probably and I've already passed

[00:49:09] So I'm already passed. Um, so this is something that fantastical they've made up about me Yeah, um the interview or have I already? Oh, no, we're gonna put this no No, no, we're gonna put this in a documentary we're making now so we can go. I'm done

[00:49:21] So I've died I've whatever am I still? Oh, no, no, you're still living. Yes. God. You're still living No, no, no, yeah, yeah, it's something fantastical. Um, I can read minds Telekinesis is a telekinesis or telepathic? Uh, telekinesis no No telepathic telekinesis as you move things so telepathic

[00:49:42] I have a good so I can read people so they got to be careful what they think about me Right. So not only now our camera is everywhere now. You can just sense what's in your mind

[00:49:52] So thought crime is a crime talk talk crime is is a crime Perfect. Perfect. Yeah It's not even a crime, but just be careful what you're thinking. Yeah, the fearless leader x I'm trying to work it into professor x

[00:50:05] Yeah, fearless leader x. Um, okay. Cool. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Um death is quite cool. By the way, I do have um Uh, I do have good news to show you but first question is uh are the question before that rather is um, is there any

[00:50:21] Seemingly mundane thing that would be banned in your country Something that's probably legal elsewhere, but you're like no not have not let me be mine um Yeah, I guess just uh Oh god something that kind of bothers me about people is just I don't want to say

[00:50:39] I kind of want to say lazy, but I don't want to say lazy, but it's just my whole concept of just Existing for the sake of existing I want purpose. I want people to really Enjoy life and purpose so the whole thing of just

[00:50:55] I don't feel like it. I just want that gone in life Just I mean and I get sitting on the couch and watching tv and eating a bag of chips I got that but again, it's it's something it's it's yeah, that's more resting up or

[00:51:07] Taking some time for yourself whatever but just having Um god Or something tangible maybe something tangible be better. I don't like I don't like uh, Anchobe's and pineapple and pizza I can't

[00:51:21] No, my kids would kill me. They love my girls love pineapple and pizza just something. Oh god. What can't it's interesting About stuff like that when you say oh, I would ban that no way my my girls would hate that I mean they would be

[00:51:34] The children of the fearless leader even if they did it who's arresting them That would be the next scandal wouldn't it that you think it Beats, um, I think I don't know That's a really good question if I could get one rid of one mundane thing I think

[00:51:54] Time can I get rid of time? The magazine when you have Is Time you know when you're I guess we kind of need it because we have to have Meetings and stuff but this whole concept the work week, you know, it's you get two days off

[00:52:11] Five day work week nine to five. I don't like that I like the concept of just having your schedule and just having it done Yeah, if you want to work a 20 hour day and get everything done Go for it

[00:52:24] But this whole thing of like we have to start work particularly in winter time when you have to get up And it's dark if you go to bed and it's dark. I don't like that. You know get up when the sun is up

[00:52:33] I like the old day when we lived in caves Yeah, and the sun came up and then we'd get up and we do things and then winter time We just got fat and slept a lot like I like that. I like that was simpler time

[00:52:43] Yeah, just letting your body dictate if you can get up Yeah, you can make that a thing you could say like our businesses can't tell you it's a 40 hour work week They can tell you we have 40 things to do

[00:52:54] Go do them at the end of the week and then you just do them. There's no Exactly Yeah, I think there's isn't there a country that's bringing in a like a three-day weekend like I think Yeah, there is something like that. I'm gonna say it's Scandinavia

[00:53:07] I'm like, I love that. I think it's in Scandinavia because okay. So again, they're so ahead Right, so just that just you know have a four day work week Yeah, and then the first because usually your first day off is when you get all your shit done

[00:53:21] Where you have to do your laundry and your house cleaning and your appointments And like you get too too much on your first day off Yeah, by the time you get your second day, you're exhausted and then you're just working about that three day that that one

[00:53:32] Yeah, exactly. I gotta go back to work tomorrow. No, give me three I like that concept of if I could take anything mundane away It's just this this having to work within a parameter and then maybe we get rid of rush hour

[00:53:41] If everyone's not going home at the same time. Maybe you won't have rush hour You won't have yeah, yeah, you're not wasting an extra two hours just to get home Um, okay, go to guidance. I'm with you started off with the whole pineapple thing

[00:53:52] And I was like, oh, it's a bit a bit low key. I mean you can change anything but yeah, no, that's good Um, I marvel actually have gotten on to your office. Um, they have a request

[00:54:01] They're actually thinking of bringing back Robert Downey jr for an hour ironman They wanted to film a little scene in in Shangri-La la Um, and they were hoping whether the fearless leader would like to do a cameo in the next ironman Would you be interested? Absolutely

[00:54:18] Now do you think you would be would it be a cameo of you yourself to fear this leader or would you play a role? I mean, they're pretty open to whatever you want I would love to play a role and I'm very a proponent of

[00:54:31] Uh, utilizing what the uk has embraced women over 50 in lead role I'm doing like cool things. Um, the closest we got was mera viz town Um with a break, uh, I might add that there's a fear of

[00:54:47] Using older women and things so I would love to have a role in it But and my request would be can I kick butt?

[00:54:54] Can I be a woman in her 50s that just beats the crap out of somebody or do you want to be a superhero or would you I would try to be a superfilla. I think superhero. Yeah superhero. I would like to kick some butt And be

[00:55:05] Shockingly good at it. I mean, I just having that a cool Uh role model of a woman who's older who can still

[00:55:14] Do some stuff do some damage. Do you know what? Do you know what now? We I mean, I mean, what age what age is Robert Tony jr No, he's in his 50s as well. Oh for sure, right?

[00:55:24] Do you want to be the love interest of Robert Tony jr? Sure. The superhero. Why not? Um, why not? Why not have Oh, but that's that's a great Also concept of having two people around the same age as love madness in it

[00:55:39] Let's try something different the older guy and the young chick. Yeah, I'm so done with that That's what I actually appreciated with the new with maverick the new movie where his love it This was not a young hot thing. It was the the girl

[00:55:53] She was the appropriate age. Yeah, and I'm like this is this is wonderful. So yeah, this shouldn't be weird This should be a normal thing. It should be weird when it's the other way around but yeah, yeah, no we can go for that we so

[00:56:04] I'm gonna do a scene so Iron Man, of course is naturally fighting. Um Uh, god, I can't even think of a villain. Who's the villain in Marvel? Thanos is back. Why not? Um, okay And yeah, Tony, I'm going to be my best Tony

[00:56:20] Star compression which I mean, of course in this he's asking Robert Donnie jr His sister on doing an Irish accent into Barry. Um, naturally. So he is walking off Uh, where'd be a good place to film on Shangri-La? What location do you think could be very picturesque?

[00:56:36] Uh, probably why don't like in the heart of the city? and Thanos is coming to Potentially take over and well, he's just warning me. I think he's more I'm after receiving a letter you see in my

[00:56:47] Oh, I see that castle. I mean it's got the best. It's got the best views. So yes. Yes. I'm at my summer treat Yes. So, um, um, I mean once once I'm after uh dispatching one of the little villains that he sends along

[00:56:59] Not a little I've not not at the height, but I mean in stature within the organization I'm sure he has yeah He opens the door thinking, you know, oh, there's another one behind it and there he sees you now

[00:57:08] Are you wearing a super suit or superhero suit or no? I'm like in Like casual clothes Just got back from the grocery store just an average mom. That's Oh, that's what the superhero is all about. She's just a normal woman Oh, so an open door. Hi

[01:04:00] So I have some respect for the elders and I'm extremely concerned about what people think of me because I'm an actor And we're always obsessed with that So I think I would want to have a sit down with them and really find out what they're unhappy about

[01:04:12] And what they'd want because sometimes sometimes like we said you got to air your grievances if they're not happy Right. What is that? Is it something I'm doing? Do they have suggestions that were overlooked?

[01:04:23] Let's hear them out because sometimes I can do this. I'm happy to talk to you. Oh wonderful So what's the problem? Why do you want to kill me? I mean, that's that's pretty extreme. I love this

[01:07:48] Turns out we didn't ever had money. It was minus hundred billion Um, you're in debt the international monetary fund is going to come in and take over the country If you can't figure out how to make more money by a mahalde look

[01:07:58] So he's gone. Um any idea of making money really really fast just give him an idea how you're going to make money Yeah, I guess we're uh, we are now a movie studio everybody You're just gonna bring in every production company. We've got the best tax credits

[01:08:14] We're going to just be green light everything We're just gonna come in everyone's house is now a hotel an airbnb. You're gonna be putting crew up And uh, yeah, we're ready to go. We're gonna make every scene everything

[01:08:28] Everything's just gonna we're gonna work as best as we can Doing what we do on a normal basis, but otherwise everything's a movie set. Everything is available for this movie You probably did well with robert downey because you worked alongside him

[01:08:40] He has a production company right get him in straight away first day Now it's just like yeah the next another lord of the rings bring it in Oh god, don't do that. There's enough of them already

[01:08:52] God you're you know, you could do a lot of reality tv shows as well because aren't they like cheaply made and end date Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, okay fair enough. I do have um one last question for you Okay for sure

[01:09:03] That's a certain point you have to consider who is going to take over from you The omaritality unfortunately will not pan out Um, and even if it does maybe you're sick of controlling this country, right?

[01:09:15] I would like to know who would your air be and I just like to say that it has to be someone who is alive now It can't be hypothetical my great great grandson, you know, um But yeah, who would you have as your air?

[01:09:28] Well, right now my my oldest who's uh having a snack over there. She is and I think it should be female I think it should always be female. Um, I think my eldest daughter. She is my oldest anyway

[01:09:39] Uh, but I think it would be my eldest daughter if she does not want to Um, then I think I would have a contest Maybe we'll go back to the reality show all the women of the world who want to be a leader of a country get to

[01:09:53] Compete and have fun with me and I get to just give put them on tasks Ridiculous tasks and get to know them. Can you give me one task? I'd just like to know it's like uh, uh like the the fun stressful situations where they have a shopping list

[01:10:08] and a Certain set of money and they have to uh, you know the first one in sort of like the the old uh, apprentice days when donald trump was just ridiculous But just kind of like these funny

[01:10:22] imaginative creative tasks where in that you have two days to come up with this great campaign And you've got to buy everything and cast it and do this great thing and you have 24 hours Yeah

[01:10:36] And they got to come up with something and I get to judge their their creativity And also watch how they work with people how they delegate how they spend money

[01:10:46] How smart they are about it and if they can keep everyone laughing and entertained and in a good spirit She was a good leader She's now the charismatic leader because I think you want to keep the fearless one right the fearless Manneker. Yeah, yeah

[01:11:00] So it's either your eldest daughter. You have a second daughter, right? I have the youngest but she's not getting a choice. It's the eldest daughter or else everyone else in the world Yeah, well, I guess I could ask my youngest I don't think she would do it

[01:11:11] My older one would be like sure because she's she's she was the oldest so she's run House yeah, yeah, I would ask but she probably you know what though I think that would be the if my youngest said yes, she is a bit of a tyrant. So

[01:11:26] I think they would be in for a hurt because she'll be like She's really gonna use she's gonna really use those prisons that you've set up for all the people you're putting in for minor infractions Yes, okay

[01:11:36] This this little kid has has a list of people that she hopes dies She literally has a list of people and she doesn't remember what they did She has a kill list and make sure she's crying stories. So she's a little twisted

[01:11:49] Make sure she doesn't send that accident leader Santa. That's the wrong list That's That doesn't go down. You want to dictate her take on my youngest so she's there That's a spoiler for the next episode. Who's I guess? Absolutely
