Bring me out.

Guess Hi. My name is Emma.

I run a successful remedial massage business. I'm a sole practitioner. I also used to be an intensive care cutting your thoracic nurse for many years.

I live in the Suburbs. I have two kids.

I'm actually in a blended family, so I make that six kids. But Art actually knows me, but would not recognize me if she saw me.

Oh my goodness, hello Emma, how are you going?

Thank you?

Ark the mystery, the mystery, I may know you. Yes, So remedial, massage, practition person, practitioner, sole person, all the above, all of that. Remedial that means like fixing things with massage, right, it does. Yeah, I'm a bit dumb, So I just like that.

No, everybody asked, what is remedial? What's the difference.

Yeah, so you're not doing, like you know, massage is in that dark little venue that I walked past with the red light out the front.

You're doing things in which you can help people.

That's right, and you can claim on your health.

Oh god, that's good. Actually, that's good. What's your favorite thing to massage?

I would say probably shoulders.

I'll give you a nice clean.

Answer there, shoulders. Okay, just thriting that down. This could be a clue. This could be a clue, shoulders.

And you used to be a nurse in at Rasko.

With hearts and those.

So you can nursing with heart's intensive care. What got you out of it? Too many hearts? Too much love?

Well, the other thing that you'd know me for, I would dovetail the two of them. So I eventually got out of nursing because I'd been out of it for probably about five years, and I had to do a refresher course and it was going to cost me ten thousand dollars and I went, Now, hence why I am now a medial massage therapy?

Yes, speaking of are you and your massage remedial massage uniform? At the moment, I wasn't sure when you walked in because you look like you've come straight from work?

Is that correct?

Or do you just wear this? You just go to Cole's? You like to put it on? Is it part of your advertising? You put it on to go walk around Coles?

And I came straight from work.

Okay, so it looks like a nursing top.

It does. It's the hospital scrubs.

Yes, but blue hospital scrubs. Your hair's tied back. You're all prim and proper and ready to help remedy some shoulders.

That's right.

Okay.

Now, what I'm going to do is ask you three questions, and from the answers to those three questions, I have to determine what it is you're concealing from me.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Okay, with all the information put together, right, we've got remedial message, we've got shoulders, we've got six kids, blended family, nurse hearts, and apparently I may know you.

Okay, yes, I think you might even love me.

I might know you might love This is so it's so kooky. This is like what I met a meet and greet and I meet someone and they're like, we've met three times before. You don't remember me. I'm like, ma'am, I'm sorry. Okay, You're just another person at the moment. Okay, I meet a lot of people really lovely, but I don't. I don't remember you. I'm sorry.

I do. I have two dogs and a cat.

Okay, what are their names?

Buddy Maker and Ziggy?

I had to upgrade.

I know, little Blue Yaris is gone. No more.

Question number two, Yes, what vegetable do you most align with?

A vegetable would have to be a carrot.

A carrot, and what do you like about a carrot? What functions?

Crunchy?

Oh yeah, crunchy. That's so you're more of a raw carrot rather than a coo.

Okay, well you can eat them cooked.

Yeah, I love a cooked carrot, baked carrot, and it is full of vitamin CI.

Okay, stop selling me the carrots. It's fine, fine. And the third question is do you have an alter ego? If so, tell me about about them. What's their personality?

Yes?
