- 0:00Speaker 1: He's got one of the most iconic voices in Hollywood,
- 0:03Speaker 1: you'd say, up there with Morgan Freeman.
- 0:05Speaker 2: He also inspired me, I reckon, I.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Think it's a stretch too, all right, come like him,
- 0:12Speaker 1: a Llegian, and he inspires us to write our journals.

- 0:21Speaker 2: the author of your story, of your journal.
- 0:25Speaker 3: In this journal, you will get to know yourself better,
- 0:28Speaker 3: and you better get to know.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Do you know what I like?
- 0:33Speaker 1: A quiet achiever, someone that quietly gets to work and
- 0:35Speaker 1: gets the job done. Well, did I see a great
- 0:38Speaker 1: example of that this week? Well, I was stuffing my
- 0:40Speaker 1: face with pizza, pasta and beer in Italy. Stready was
- 0:44Speaker 1: diligently turning up to Flix fitness getting the job done.
- 0:47Speaker 1: And because I was away a month, as soon as
- 0:49Speaker 1: she slipped into her sweaty bitty training gear. And that's
- 0:52Speaker 1: what it's called the changes. The changes are right there
- 0:59Speaker 1: in front of my eyes. And this is well timed because,
- 1:01Speaker 1: as we all know, summer bodies are made in winter,
- 1:04Speaker 1: and Streaty has set herself up perfectly for the golden
- 1:07Speaker 1: window of opportunity. She has time to reach dizzying new
- 1:11Speaker 1: heights just in time for the bikini season. Congrats Streaty
- 1:15Speaker 1: on losing ten kgs. The new goal is to get
- 1:18Speaker 1: to the point where people think you're using a zmpig
- 1:20Speaker 1: when you're not.
- 1:20Speaker 3: You have you have overstated my way. This is high,
- 1:24Speaker 3: this is defamation.
- 1:25Speaker 2: That's when you know you've made it and you can
- 1:27Speaker 2: do it. Go for us.
- 1:29Speaker 3: You are looking, she knows why are you are overstating?
- 1:32Speaker 2: It's definitely ten kg And.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Also it wasn't a quite achieved because I had someone
- 1:36Speaker 3: yapping in my ear. Is nothing I like wore the
- 1:39Speaker 3: samon I see me at the gym.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Self appointed coach can love it? No, you can love it.
- 1:43Speaker 4: I love it.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Well done.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Hi.
- 1:44Speaker 4: Anyone who's been a parent, caregiver or teacher of any
- 1:46Speaker 4: kind knows it to minefield. And as as hard as
- 1:49Speaker 4: we try, no one's one hundred percent sure of what
- 1:51Speaker 4: we're supposed to be doing.
- 1:52Speaker 2: We just hope for the best.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I've read books, have done courses, and been to parenting seminars,
- 1:55Speaker 4: and I still just cross my fingers and hopes be
- 1:57Speaker 4: as optimistic as I can. Our sons eleven and eight,
- 2:00Speaker 4: and my wife Louise and I are trying to teach
- 2:02Speaker 4: them about the dangers are becoming addicted to screens. They
- 2:05Speaker 4: use chromebooks at school, and they know about online safety.
- 2:07Speaker 4: But we're also trying to show them good habits, like
- 2:09Speaker 4: putting our phones and devices down, spending time outside, or
- 2:12Speaker 4: doing things as a family without our faces buried in
- 2:14Speaker 4: the screens.
- 2:14Speaker 2: This week because they've.
- 2:15Speaker 4: Helped us wash the cars, pun the trees, kick some
- 2:17Speaker 4: soccer goals, and write some cards for people. We also
- 2:20Speaker 4: tried playing board games before bedtime. We chose Monopoly, yes,
- 2:24Speaker 4: a game notorious for starting fights. So on the first
- 2:27Speaker 4: night we tried this, our boys not only learned about
- 2:29Speaker 4: money and property, they also learned the value of pitfalls,
- 2:31Speaker 4: of bankrupting your spouse and can management, the wonderful value
- 2:35Speaker 4: of conflict resolution, and several new words that can never repeat.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So yes, so far, so good. I think this weekend
- 2:40Speaker 2: was going to watch TV.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Jace. You pruned that the hedges, you made cards. You're
- 2:44Speaker 3: the Swiss family, Robinson. I'm pretty sure mine were on
- 2:46Speaker 3: devices most of the week.
- 2:48Speaker 2: A vicious board gone with you, especially nex.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Week week, leasily for the weekend till you can go
- 2:56Speaker 3: and tell them to stay their room. I did jo
- 2:58Speaker 3: all the Olympics have been given me life. Isn't it
- 3:01Speaker 3: amazing to have something to look forward to each and
- 3:03Speaker 3: every day? Even though I've been staying up way past
- 3:05Speaker 3: my bedtime and the mornings have hurt, these games have
- 3:08Speaker 3: been feeding my soul. The nail biting events, the near missus,
- 3:11Speaker 3: the triumphs, the despair, but more than anything, the passion.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Isn't it great to watch people that care so much
- 3:16Speaker 3: about realizing their dream and they're prepared to sacrifice so
- 3:19Speaker 3: much to get there. That's the biggest like lesson that
- 3:21Speaker 3: I think we can all take away from these games.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Find your passion, have a focus, have something you really
- 3:26Speaker 3: care about, and work hard to get there. Because on
- 3:29Speaker 3: the other side of all that effort is a glorious reward.
- 3:32Speaker 3: So many of us will never know that feeling because
- 3:34Speaker 3: we're too scared to give it a crack. Let these
- 3:36Speaker 3: Olympics be your inspiration.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Love's a bit snapshot of our thoughts this week. Hopefully
- 3:41Speaker 4: you've had a really good one on either way, you're
- 3:42Speaker 4: weekend is even better. Thanks for listening Tony Jason Sam's
