Transcript 0:09 Speaker 00 Bonus episode with Dr Emily. This, this is an exciting announcement episode. Okay. Some of you may know that on top of this show, The Imperfects, we also have a parallel show, which is a subscriber only show. Hugh, you know this.
0:29 Speaker 01 I do.
0:29 Speaker 00 Yep.
0:29 Speaker 01 I know it well.
0:31 Speaker 00 It's called A Little More Imperfects and it's a separate show that you can only get if you subscribe to it through Patreon or through Apple Podcasts.
0:38 Speaker 02 Yeah.
0:39 Speaker 00 So that's a bit of context for this announcement.
0:42 Speaker 02 It's good context because it's a pretty big announcement. It's huge.
0:44 Speaker 00 Hit us with it, Josh.
0:46 Speaker 02 We're doing our first ever live show for the subscriber community.
0:51 Speaker 00 Now, we've done live shows before. We've toured the country to rapturous applause.
0:57 Speaker 00 This will be a lot smaller, a lot more intimate and only for people who are subscribers to A Little More Imperfects.
1:04 Speaker 02 And we'll explain how you can get tickets and there's even a competition as well. But maybe we should give a bit more info because there's a very special guest.
1:12 Speaker 00 There is.
1:12 Speaker 02 At this show.
1:12 Speaker 00 Yeah.
1:12 Speaker 02 That probably is the most exciting bit. So we've really buried the headline.
1:15 Speaker 00 Yeah. Dr Emily has kindly signed on to this event. It'll be the four of us on stage. Em's going to be answering your questions. So exciting, which is what she often does on A Little More Imperfects.
1:29 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah. For those that don't know, on our subscriber show, Em brings a topic in that she's been seeing show up in her clinical practice a lot. And then we ask our subscribers to share experiences or questions on that topic. And Em answers them. And that's exactly what she'll be doing in this live event. But Ryan.
1:47 Speaker 00 But there is one very key detail about this. Where are we having this event?
1:54 Speaker 03 I'm very excited.
1:55 Speaker 02 Go on.
1:57 Speaker 03 At the Baldwin Cinema.
1:58 Speaker 02 Hmm.
1:59 Speaker 00 For those new to the podcast, you may not know, but the Baldwin Cinema is very important in the lore of The Imperfects lore and history, because that is where Hugh, you and Emily first met and worked together.
2:12 Speaker 01 In 1998, it would have been.
2:14 Speaker 00 This is going to be the exciting thing because, because we are returning to the Baldwin Cinema, you and potentially Em as well, will not only be making popcorn, choc tops.
2:24 Speaker 02 Yep.
2:24 Speaker 00 Potentially.
2:25 Speaker 01 Well, I don't think we're making the popcorn.
2:26 Speaker 02 No, they're not making the popcorn.
2:27 Speaker 00 Okay.
2:27 Speaker 02 All the choc tops.
2:28 Speaker 00 Okay.
2:29 Speaker 01 But we are, we are going to be ushering people to their seats. We'll be the ushers tearing tickets.
2:32 Speaker 02 On the door, tearing tickets.
2:34 Speaker 01 I feel like for some reason, if I can need to do this, I don't know why.
2:36 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah.
2:37 Speaker 03 I'm all for it.
2:38 Speaker 02 Would you do it?
2:39 Speaker 03 Yeah, 100%.
2:40 Speaker 00 Okay, so a little more Imperfects live with Dr Emily at the Baldwin Cinema, August 19th. That's the date.
2:48 Speaker 02 Live episode. So it's actually our first ever live episode we're doing as well, because we never did the live shows as live episodes, so.
2:54 Speaker 01 Is there a red, is it a red carpet event?
2:56 Speaker 00 I don't know, actually. It could be.
2:58 Speaker 02 Depends what the colour of the carpet at Baldwin Cinema is.
3:00 Speaker 00 Yeah, it's a luck of the draw. But I imagine out of anywhere, there's a good chance there might be a red carpet there.
3:04 Speaker 02 Yeah.
3:05 Speaker 01 We should walk it.
3:06 Speaker 00 Hmm. Yeah, great call.
3:08 Speaker 02 You might have to.
3:09 Speaker 00 Yeah, yeah.
3:09 Speaker 02 Yeah.
3:13 Speaker 02 Tickets will go on sale on Monday, June the 8th. So we're giving you a chance to sort of sign up to the community. So you're there, ready to go when the ticket link drops. But the big thing that's actually open right now is the competition to win tickets to the event.
3:28 Speaker 00 Oh, this is the other complicated part of it.
3:30 Speaker 02 Yeah. So this, there's, so this is a competition to win a gold class double pass for anyone in Australia or New Zealand will be flown to the event. There'll be a hotel room for the night.
3:43 Speaker 00 Have we checked if there's an airport at Baldwin Cinema?
3:47 Speaker 02 That you're with transport from the airport.
3:49 Speaker 00 Okay.
3:50 Speaker 02 Yeah.
3:50 Speaker 00 Important.
3:51 Speaker 02 To Baldwin, a night's accommodation in Baldwin. And as part of that double pass, Hugh will take you to your seat, give you popcorn, champagne, choc top on the house.
3:59 Speaker 00 Champagne? I haven't heard about this.
4:00 Speaker 02 Yeah, champagne on the house.
4:02 Speaker 00 Ooh, boy.
4:03 Speaker 02 Sparkling wine, I should say.
4:06 Speaker 00 For all of you French enthusiasts, apologies if you're expecting sparkling wine from the champagne region. No, not getting that. Tickets are not expensive enough for that.
4:16 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:17 Speaker 01 I'll also, well, we haven't included this, but I will also talk to them about the places to go in Baulin. If you're gonna hang around for the next day or something like best place to go and kick the football, the best nets to go to, best basketball ring, stuff like that.
4:30 Speaker 00 And other non-sport related.
4:32 Speaker 01 I can tell them, I can tell them all the things to go. There's a lovely bakery slash cafe called Hilltop that people, Josh and I, I'm happy to, I won't take you there, but I'll tell you where it is definitely.
4:42 Speaker 02 Yeah. Well, what an offer.
4:43 Speaker 00 So this is, as you can tell, we're very excited. And not only are we excited for the actual event where we'll be on stage, but then afterwards, we're gonna, we wanna like meet you guys. We love doing that when we're doing the live show. So we wanna meet anyone there and hang around afterwards. So, and Dr. M has offered free psychology to anyone who wants to, has any issues.
5:03 Speaker 02 She's setting up a booth.
5:04 Speaker 00 Straight to M.
5:06 Speaker 00 All covered in the ticket. No, that is a joke. No, she is not your psychologist. Or maybe she is. I don't know. But that would be pure luck.

6:24 Speaker 00 Yeah, but you know what?
6:26 Speaker 02 That's the bit you don't say.

6:54 Speaker 00 That's, I don't like that.
6:56 Speaker 02 I don't like it either, but you could. That is a way to rig the.
6:59 Speaker 00 It's a, it's a technically, you're right. It is a loophole that people can.

7:15 Speaker 00 Yeah.
7:16 Speaker 01 I mean, I hope people would assume that, but we do try extremely hard.
7:19 Speaker 00 Never heard anyone doing a show promising their audience that they try hard.
7:25 Speaker 02 And you know what? For this, for the live event, we will also try really hard.
7:29 Speaker 00 As, as, as if it's a feature.
7:32 Speaker 00 Not an expectation.
7:35 Speaker 01 It is true though, we try so hard to do a good show. I want people to know that.
7:38 Speaker 00 Yeah, that's good.
7:39 Speaker 01 Just so they don't go like, well, I'm sure they exhaust all their energy on the main show and this is just like a.
7:44 Speaker 00 Yeah.
