Speaker 1

You're listening to Comedy Central coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Shoe Tonight. Down goes Jeney, Thanks Gonna Scamp and John Boyaga. This it's the Daily Show with Driver Noel. Let's going out. Everybody, Welcome to the Danny Show. Travel someone for shooting in an out. Good to see, take a see. Let's go to everybody that we have got a great show for you and I take a seat. Take a seat. Wyoming

Republicans took Liz Cheney out behind the barn. We're gonna look at white over draft fees a lot worse than you think. And the hot new trend at the office is not caring about your job. Plus, John boy, you guys joining us on the show as I will gets unless do the people flips up straight into today headline. All right, Before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in

the world. First up, the FDA has ruled that hearing aids can now be sold over the counter without a prescription, making them easier and cheaper for people to get. That's amazing. Yeah, and you know it's crazy. It's crazy. That you ever needed a prescription for a hearing aid. Why. It's not like you can abuse them. It's not like the drug dealers on the street going yo yo, you want someone

an extra loud yo yo. Meanwhile, in travel news, American Airlines has announced that they will be buying twenty supersonic jets that will be able to get passengers to their destination twice as fast as current airplanes. Yeah, wild, that's great. It also means the annoying guy who's sitting next year on the plane is gonna have to talk twice as fast. Now it's gonna be like, so, yeah, you fly off and you're going on vacations is the work thing. I

just had to check it back. You're checking it back where you're from the first time had playing seeing the rock and Roll of fame is gonna be going and we're here. Also, in I'm gonna call it culinary news, Papa John's has unveiled a new menu item called Papa Bowls, which are bowls full of pizza toppings without the crust. And I just want to say, congratulations, America, you did it. You finally found the opposite of a sallad. Well done. Congratulations But let's move on to some of the biggest

stories of the day, starting with the mid terms. Last nights, the primary that everyone was watching was in Wyoming, the state with the population almost as big as a New York subway car. Now, the reason everyone was watching this race is because Liz Cheney was running for re election. And of course Liz Cheney has been the most prominent antique Trump Republican in Congress. She voted to impeach him,

She's led the committee investigating him. Basically, she just will not stop talking about that one time he tried to overthrow the American democracy. That was like like a million years ago. Lady, move on. So anyway, Black Life's primary was the charts for Wyoming Republicans to declare whether they stood with Liz Cheney or with Donald Trump, and they answered bigly overnight out of Wyoming, a clear message from

that state about the direction of the Republican Party. Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who was reelected easily less than two years ago, lost badly last night in her primary fight against her Trump back challenger, Harriet Hageman. Chane's landslide loss was no surprise. She knew she'd pay a price for voting to impeach Donald Trump and then serving as the vice chair of the January six Committee. Overnight, the former president writing Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself. Now she can finally

disappear into the depths of political oblivion. Okay, okay. First of all, there's no way that Trump wrote that disappear into the depths of political oblivion. Really, this is the same guy who said I don't like shaying yesterday. It's a hard word for me, yes yesterday. Really, really, that's not him. You know, if I was to bet, he probably has some guy who just fancies up his words for him. You know, he's like, I want to say something like Liz Shaney go bye bye. Now it's like, okay,

how about disappear into the depths of political oblivion. He's like that one is goodly maybe the best. Dis I like it. Hello, say what you want, say what you want about this Chaney. But you have to respect how she stood up against Trump, even when she knew she was gonna get blown out of her seat. And yes, it is saying something about the state of the GOP that the brave stance was don't hang the vice president. But still she stood by it. And this Chaney isn't

the only Republican who fell on her sword. Remember there were only ten Republicans in the House who voted to impeach Donald Trump. Out of those ten, four lost their primaries to a Trump challenger, and four retired so that they wouldn't lose to a Trump challenger. Because right now, any Republican who opposes Trump, he'll flush the asses away like one of those top secret documents. He doesn't play games.

But the liszt Cheney story isn't over yet, because she's bowed that she will still do anything to stop Trump from becoming presidents again, even possibly running against him in the Republican primary. Yeah, and look, I mean we must admit it probably is a long shot. But don't forget she is a chainee. If there's one thing they're committed to, its regime change. And and to be honest, if she wants to stop Trump, she doesn't have to beat him in a presidential race. You know, just put a bunch

of Reese's pieces in the line of a cliff. You know, he'd be like, and this one and this one and this one. For let's move on from Donald Trump to another plague. America can't get rid of the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, the CDC announced that quote COVID nineteen is here to stay, yes, which sounds less like a public health announcement and more like something your mom says about your new stepdad. I love Jerry, so whether you like it or not, he's a new man of this house. Okay, Look, Jerry,

don't eat that. That's cat food, honey. Come on now. Because of this, and because fewer people are dying or being hospitalized from the disease, the US is dropping some of the big restrictions that we've all gotten used to over the last two years. Right, So, no more quarantining if you've been exposed to the virus, no more testing at schools, no more six ft apart social distancing, and we can go back to washing our hands just off

the number two's. Yeah. So basically, the new CDC guidance is just looking over what everyone was really doing and just going like, yeah, you just do that. We don't care anymore. We don't care. But if the US has decided to live with COVID, the situation is very different in China because they're still doing lockdowns at the drop of the hats, and it is not always going over very well. Chaos and panic at an Ikea in Shanghai, China. This is video from an Ikea store on Saturday, after

it was announced the store was going into lockdown. A customer had tested positive, so workers tried to put the entire building on quarantine. Customers rushed for the exit to try and leave before the doors closed. Those who could not get out were taken to a quarantine hotel for several days. China has the strictest COVID rules in the world. They've locked down entire cities over just a few positive cases. God damn, did you see that? Look like a reverse

black ride? And I don't blame those people, Like no, no one should have to spend one minute longer than necessary in an Ikea. Okay. Can you imagine finally finding the exit just as the doors close. You're like, no, I just wanted to buy the shmarras glad And that ready shows you the different approaches countries can take to

the pandemic. Because China has shown that you can basically prevent all COVID deaths, but every now and then you might get locked into an Ikea for a week with no warning, and then America is looking at that like, Okay, how bad is death really? I mean, although honestly, if you have to quarantine for a week, isn't like here the best place to be. I mean, they've got fully done bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms. Yeah, they say you can't

poop in the toilets, but you can, you know I have. Anyway, let's talk about as how we trade time for money, like, which is almost everyone has to work. But let's be honest, there's working and then there's working. All right, as more and more people are discovering, we begin with young workers refusing to go the extra mile. They're embracing a trend they're calling quiet quitting. They stay on the job, they continue to get paid, but they're only willing to do

the bare minimum. So you look at these videos on TikTok and YouTube with people who are celebrating their lack of enthusiasm for their job. They're just going to mail it in. They're just gonna do exactly what they're supposed to do and not go above and beyond the descriptions

of the job. Some of these videos are people who are like literally turning off the phone at five pm, the work phone at five pm, not answering email after five pm, not doing anything above and beyond the nine to five of the job, and saying that's good because I don't need to work for the man, you know, and not have any kind of balance in my own life. Yeah, that's right. People are quiet quitting. They're just going to their jobs and then just doing the job from from

nine to five, and then and then and then. Hold up, that's just working. That's work. Realize that's worth You don't have to do the more it's worked. People in this country are so obsessed with work. Guys. Your job is just the place you go to avoid seeing your family, all right. It doesn't need to be the most important part of your existence. If your job is from nine to five, that means that the work messages should stop at five. Two. Yeah, that's right. Any message you get

off the five is basically a booty care. If your boss texts you at like seven to see if you file an expense report, it should start with hey, you up. Bottom line, you need to establish your work life balance. So remember, if you hate your job, make sure you also hate your life. Right, No, that doesn't work. But if but if you're thinking of quiet quitting, please keep in mind that clocking out for the day at five on the dots might be okay for office work, but

it's not something you can do for every job. All right, buddy, all right, don't do anything drastic. Okay, we're gonna work this out. We're gonna work this out together, you and me. Just as long as you left the hostagent hold on. I was like, hi, oh man, all right, listen you guys, you guys, stay, you guys gonna stick around. If you guys to back your on Monday, well we'll pick it up at nine am. Oh man, that's crazy what we do it? We got on the bar. We're not doing

this stay yeah. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go, let's check it on the traffic without very own Roy with Junior. Everybody's hold on. That's gold on, right, what's got me? That's got all right? It's good. So good to see you. So we'll see you, brother. That's happening. What's happening? What's happening in the traffic. We will get the traffic. Man, traving not going nowhere, it's traffic.

That's why it's called traffic. It's always there. I want to I want to ask you about this zkea situation though, the COVID lockdown. Yeah, the people getting locked up in the store. What store would you like to be locked in for two weeks? Like? What would be your COVID lockdown store of choice? I would choose. I probably choose like a best Buy or something. I can play video games the whole time. Bro, that's dumb. You ain't got nowhere to sleep, You ain't got nothing to eating. Best

about there a couple of movie theater snacks. Ain't no real food. Oh yeah, didn't think of that. You know what I'm staying Mercedes Bends Dealership. That's what I'm doing my lockdown. If I want to get trapped in the spot, I want to get trapped in the Mercedes Beans dealership. No food, they got what they got the peppermints. When they get your pepperins, They've got plenty of peppermints. And and at the end of the lockdown, you get a free car, free Mercedes. No, why why the hell would

you get a free car? They see what I do to that car for two weeks, they give me that car. Stand right, you're gonna get me the car because trust trust food. If I'm I'm gonna say these dealership living in the side of Mercedes, baby, Imma being that thing farding and shaving, I'm gonna sleep butt naked. I'm gonna be sleeping by naked, and that thing can't sleeping. Ain't let somebody sleep in the Mercedes button naked. Didn't resell that? You know what that does to the blue bug? I mean, alright,

what What's what's happening in the traffic? Get you the traffic? Did you get you to traffic? Did? Did I hear you correctly? And saying that American Airlines is buying twenty new jets supersonic jets. He just put some money down on new jets, new, yes, brand new. I talk the airlines, and I think the day bro. They've been grying bro for a long time. The airline industry is broke. That's what they keep telling us, um broke. Hey man, I

want to carry your luggage, beneaed fifty dollars. I showed one love again some snacks, but I need fifty dollars. Oh man, you want some leg room, Well, I'm fifty dollars. We've been giving the airline industry all these fifty damned dollars, and now you're just gonna win and put down on

the new jet bitching. Oh, you can't do that, you know, you know, just like this is like when you loan your friend fifty dollars and then you be on the Instagram and they'd be on vacation in Jamaica and they needed to zip line and they pair of selling, and you need to zip line me. My damn fifty dollars is what you ask me to do. You can't. You cannot cry broke. I agree, Oh we broke, Oh we broke. Here let me get to any of them new jets. But you know you can't get twenty new jets. And

plus we don't care. We just want to get there. Well care, wasn't I got to say what you want about Greyhound, but they understand that nobody cares. Greyhound ain't bought a new bus ever. The Greyhound you ride in right now, that's the same Greyhound that Harriet Tubman was taking the slaves up more phone. It's the same bus. Oh man, Hard, you're ridiculous. All right, let's say let's jump into the traffic man. I don't do over time. I do the bare minimum. M Oh, that's that. That's that?

What would you? Everybody? So if you did that, and I'll see what you did that all right, don't go away because when we come back, we're gonna be talking about over dropped frees and how you conduct them. Don't go away. I feel it to give them welcome back to the day show. You know, we all deal with things in life that are just annoying, like brain freezes or looking for parking or having to trim your nails

all the time. Yeah, because apparently it's cool when Wolverine grows the map and when I do it as gross. I mean, I don't understand how that's fair. But nothing is worse than when little annoyances also cost you money, which means few things in life are more annoying than overdraft fees. You know, and we've all dealt with this ship before. You accidentally spend more than you have in your bank account, so now the bank is charging even

more money that you don't have. Even if you go over by like a couple of dollars, your bank might hit you with a thirty five dollar fee, which makes no sense, which if I had the thirty five dollars, I wouldn't be overdrafting, would I. I mean, if there has to be a penalty, it should be a non monetary one, because you know the person doesn't have the money. They should be like, all right, you gotta lick the A T M screen or something like that, but not money.

And this problem has gotten so out of hand that Democrats in Congress are now working on a bill to rein in overdraft fees, which is good because people are just about at their breaking point. This is just wild. A woman left over a bank encounter. While arguing with the teller, she didn't want to pay overdraft fees, so she went over the counter. It all happened here inside this Chase Bank in Beaufort. In the video, a woman is heard shouting at a bank teller. Then the woman

climbs over the counter and demands her money. The bank teller back up, and that's when the woman steals seven fifty dollars from the cash box. Okay, on the one hand, yes, a bit of an overreaction, But on the other hand, he also kind of rooting for her, right, Yeah, I mean, that's how much we all hate overdrop fees. Like watching this is a bystander must have been so confusing. It's just like, hello, I'd like to report a robbery. Yeah,

who's being robbed? We well to be honest, both of them. Actually, you know what, Actually it's balanced. Never mind, and I know what you're thinking right now. Look, I hate overdrop fees too, but I'm not pole vaulting over a counter over thirty five dollars. Well, once you know more about how these fees work, you just might. So let's find out where these fees came from and how they screw you over in another edition. Or if you don't know,

now you know? So I s thought At the beginning in the ninety nineties, a bunch of consultants pitched banks on overdraft fees, a cool new way to squeeze money out of their beloved customers. And as evil as it is, you've got to hand it to them, it's definitely creative. Yeah. In fact, I bet the executive who came up with this idea blew everyone's minds, which is, like, you know how we usually take money from people who have money, Well, what if we also took money from people who don't

have money? Oh? My god, you've done it, Jenkins cocaine for everyone. Yeah. But when they came up with this idea, they didn't call them overdroft fees known. The phrase they used for it was overdraft privileged programs. Yeah, because you see, customers would now have the privilege of paying extra for being broke. And you gotta admit, that's hell of spin right there. Right. They should They should do that with

everything in life. They should hire these same people. Yeah, just to give your excuses like, no, she didn't dump my ass, she enrolled me in a masturbating a loan privileged program. Everything's great, I'm doing great, I'm doing real good. So you see what happens is basically banks frame it like they're doing you a favor by allowing you to take out extra money. In fact, just listen to what one woman says she was told by her bank after she got hit with these overdraft fees again and again

without realizing it was dollars overdrawn funds. Obviously we're not there, they had never been there there over a period of time. Why did you continue to accept the charges? Their response was, you have been such a good customer for all these years. We did not want to embarrass you at the check at counter. Wow. Wow, you gotta be kidding me. The bank kept charging overdraft fees because they didn't want to embarrass this lady. Really, they didn't want to cause any embarrassment.

Everyone knows people value money over embarrassment. That's the only reason that reality shows exist. Are you kidding me? Also, you know that explanation is bullshit because it's ipossible to get embarrassed in front of a checkout counterworker. Okay, already seen it all. Yeah, they've seen every single one of us buying fifteen bags of Cheetos and we say it's for a Super Bowl party, but they know it's July.

So the banks say this is simply a service they're extending to their customers, But the truth is they spend a lot of effort manipulating you into paying those fees. Like, for instance, did you guys even know that they're totally optional? Do you know that? Yeah? Totally optional. Ever since ruling by the Federal Reserve, customers have to opt in to overdrow fees. And now you're probably thinking, wait, I never

did that, but you probably did. Yeah, you just didn't realize that's what you were doing when the bank gave you a stack of papers to sign, because nobody actually reads that ship right. Most people see the size of the agreements and you're just like, I'll just wait for HBO to turn it into a mini series and I'm not gonna read that. And it gets worse because once the banks trick you into signing up for overdrow fees, some of them will literally reorder the events of your

life to make sure that you pay the most. Some large banks will manipulate the sequence of customer transactions to draw more overdraft fees. This is how it works. Take Joe. Joe has one hundred dollars in his checking account. He buys breakfast on his way to work, paying for it with his debit card. Joe next fills up his gas tank. Later, he buys lunch, and then an afternoon cup of coffee. Finally, on his way home, he stops at the supermarket to

buy groceries. The last purchase leaves Joe's account overdrawn by fifteen dollars, but rather than charge him one overdraft fee, his bank rearranges his purchases from highest to lowest and charges him three overdraft fees. By clearing the highest purchases. First, banks are able to get to the overdraft quicker, thereby

maximizing profits. God damn, that is evil. It's bad enough that these billion dollar corporations are charging poor people overdraft fees, but to make it worse, they're manipulating the numbers so they can charge even more. Yeah, the third purchase came before the first purchase. That's not how you count a right. Either these banks are robbing people or they learned numbers from Star Wars. It goes four five six, one to

three seven. That's just math. That's the math. And this is another example of how corporations can commit crimes that none of us can. All right, because this, this is this is theft. But they will be like, oh no, it's it's just the way. No, it's theft. No individual can get away with rearranging the sequence of time. You tried this, every single one of you in this room. You try it. You try it at home, Yeah, try

stealing something from the store. And then when they catch and be like no, no, no, I know, I took it today, but I already paid for it next week now, if you'll excuse me. But like most evil plans, this big money and what the banks are doing. In fact, they collected more than eight billion dollars in overdraft fees last year, just overdrow fees. Yeah. One bank made so much money off of overdraft fees. The CEO actually named his boat the Overdraft. Yeah, and that's rubbing it in.

That's like if Elvis had a boat called Black People's Music. I mean, I guess that's how you got rich, but maybe you don't advertise it all hoole. Imagine that on your boat. It was like ship, like where's the Somali pirate when you need one? You know, just for him to be like, look at me, look at me. This is a better name for a boat, and look at me. Now. The good news is some banks seem to be getting the message that customers and Congress are fed up with

these fees. Bank of America and TD Bank are settling major lawsuits, while some banks have started ending the overdraft programs voluntarily, which is good. But until Congress passes a slaw protecting customers from the most egregious overdraft policies, we figured that there was an opening in the market for a bank you can really trust, sick of over draft fees that drag you into debt. I wish there was a bank that treated you like an adult. Well now

there is no. You're broke, introducing Rope Bank. At Rope Bank, we're not going to let you think you have money and then some prize you with an over draft fee. When you're broke, we'll let you know seven dollars for coffee. Just get a tap water. Is it embarrassing a little insulting? Definitely, But we're committed to honesty, like really committed. Come on, we both know you didn't win the lottery. Just walk away. What's in your wallet? Nothing? Are you in a jet stable?

You only got twelve dollars and you need that for a shirt. With Broke Bank, you'll never get tricked into opting in for hidden bees. The only thing you'll get from us is the truth about how poor your broke gasses. You can scream at me all you want, but at least I'm not charge you over draft fees. Broke Bank, you deserve honesty, You broke. That's customer serf children. Because when we come back, John boy welcome back to your

Dayna show. My guest tonight as award winning actor and producer John Boyega he's here to talk about starring as a marine veteran with PTSD in the new film Breaking, which will be in theaters nationwide on August. Please welcome John Boyega. All right, look Vanah, So finally Mr John Boyega, what I'm doing it? You looking great? Man? Thank you man. They decided to go Angel Gabriel today. You know I leave it, you're pulling it off. Let's jump straight into

it the movie. Congratulations, you don't I know you're capable of doing everything. You know. I've seen you you comedy, I've seen you in in in action, I've seen you in drama. This film feels like a slight twist on what we've seen you do before. It's really intense and it's a really powerful story that I think comments on what's going on in America today. Talk me through, like how did you get into this project and what made you go? Yeah, you know what, this is the next

movie for me. I read an amazing script that to me just kind of jumped off the page. The character of Brian is so complicated, complicated. His situation and the circumstance going to the bank trying to demand his money back from the veterans affairs was something that was just interesting and it's just a combination of who you're working with, Nicoleba, Harry Selena's, Michael Kay Williams. You know, this is a

cost that made me definitely get out of bed. Yeah, no, yeah, you know, you know what I love about a story like this is, you know, is that one it's based in the truth, you know, that's the first thing. And secondly, you can see the humanity in the storytelling. You have this man who goes I've served this country, I thought for this country, the story many veterans have in the

use and then they come home and then their country. Yeah, it was it was actually shocked into been hearing about the story and shocking that I hadn't heard about it, you know, in a sense that it happened in two thousands and seventeen and this is just literally a few years ago, and it's something that none of us. It

kind of happened under our nose. But to hear the detail about what vets are going through when they come home, that integration back into public life, it's it's kind of complicated for me as an actor, you know, I'm just play a small part in the jigsaw puzzle and exposing such a story and a perspective. I think what you also do really well is you you you humanize the character. You know so so it's not just a veteran It's not It's not just a situation. This is about a

human being who who who is in the situation. I mean you You talked, for instance, to the real version of the characters, like like his his his ex wife, and he talked about the journey. What did you learn about the human being that you're going to be portraying on the screen. She she told us so many gems and it's specifics. As an actor, I want to hear how this man spoke. I want to hear about his interests. He was very much into movies, nerds stuff that I'm into.

His voice quite timid most of the time, so in scenes like Abby would remind me our director would have remind me. Remember what Brian's wife said, he has a quite timid voice, his walk. You know, we have CCTV for each documentation about the case, and that all just helps to inform, you know, the performance, and that's what you know. I used to go through his Brian, you did a great job and doing it and now you say, like the team that's working with you. I mean, everyone

deserves to be lorded. But you know, obviously you know Michael Kay Williams, you have a legend who we lost. You know, this is I think it will be the last film that we get to see him. Think so might he might have one after I'm not sure, but this is this is one of the last at the very least. The story getting to it was amazing because if if I understand corectly, you basically have to beg them.

You have to Trevor. I begged him to beg you know, they showed me respect what I come and he shows and say, yeah, you're you're requested for him to be in the movie. You know, No, it was you know, I had to beg him as such such a versatile actor, an actor that doesn't need to come and shoot my small little indie movie for two dollars and fifty cents, you know what I mean. So it was it was just asking him to collaborate, to come in and and do a few weeks work, and he just showed up

on set. He was he was down to do it. And for me, I grew up watching The Wire. I grew up watching Boardwalk Empire, so to see you know, Michael Kay Williams walk on set to be motivated and ready to shoot. I was just like, yeah, this is this is a dream that's come to Did he know what a fan you are of his? Like you You've got like a DVD box set of the Wire trying

about Trevor Man. Trevor Man. You know even when I reached that to you on text and I let you guys know, Man, you know I'm I'm one of those people that I have so many people, especially black individuals for me who are inspiring to look up to. Um. So yeah, I'm gonna let you know why You're still hear that, Yo, your inspirational and I have to tell you have to tell him straight up and show show

him that love. And I'm glad I've got those moments with him and it's beautiful and that really is beautiful. I like that. I've always said, like anyone who is Nigerian has the ability to inspire the best in you as a human being. That's when you bring out absolutely you've just got that thing to see criminals. I mean, you have motivation. Moti Man speaking off by the way, speaking of you know, like we were so excited. As soon as I saw you in a movie with Viola

Davis in Biddle from South Africa. I was just like, when when does the movie coming back? Saw me in a movie? Yes, and so yeah, that movie comes out September six. The Woman King is with Viola Davis. Yeah, it looks bad, it looks it looks crazy. I was actually at the AMC at the Grove the other day and that both trailers came up. Breaking Trailer came up before Brad Pitt's Bullet Train and and and also the Woman King and the Woman King trailer got around of

applause from from the audience. I was tempted to say, but I left that there for the audience to just say, enjoyed this story that I think it's just going to be so so epic for everybody talking, for you doing the story as well as you know, you know, I fell in love with you like most people did with Attack the Block. You know, I was just like, this is one of the most amazing movies. There's a sequel,

and I hope it's true. But I've always loved how you can seamlessly moved between accents, how you embody a character, how you change who you are. But this, if I'm if I'm correct, is the first film where you get to be like your family. You get you know what I mean, You get to embody like your your your mother tongue, you get you know. Yeah, I use my dad's voice for the for the king role, and it's yeah, yeah, yeah,

you know. I even wanted to grow a bit of a belly, so you just you know, to emphasize that. But it was, it was. It was such a papa role as as an African man playing a king, but also playing a king who who loves these people, who loves his women and supports them and bands perfected by these women was for me great. I mean, normally we get into movies and you know, male lead wanted to be the number one movie start to do all the

action that's overrated. I liked the women doing everything. I said, I don't get it, don't get it, um, So that that was fun. I can't I can't wait for you guys to see that movie. It's amazing. Before I let you go, I would love to talk about the break that you took. You know, John Boyegan, like you launched onto the scene you came on, everyone was loving you as an actor as as as like, I mean, as

a guest on shows. You just have this magnetism. And then I distinctly remember you saying I'm gonna take a moment. How do you maintain the courage to say no? John? First? And then I'll get back into my career.

And in thinking about that, I was just like, yeah, I need to sort me out first, so when I get to a certain stage and when bigger opportunities come that I'm genuinely ready for it and not intimidated by it. And honestly, I twiddled my toes and a little furry socks, went on holiday, I had some good times, and then I relaxed and got got my stuff sorted, got in the gym, got reading, got into a routine, and I think a lot of us need to do that right just to
