Key Moments
Opening riff – Jo and Georgie jump right into RIP Man 2, indie filmmaking, and the fun of discovering new actors on the rise.
The Ostrich breakdown – Georgie explains her short film The Ostrich as a mix of Fleabag and Black Swan, built around the “ostrich effect” and a darker, more gruesome edge than the trailer reveals.
Female rage as a creative lane – Georgie talks about loving horror, writing female-rage characters, and how that energy keeps showing up in both her films and the roles she gets cast in.
Stage vs. screen – From playing Feste in Twelfth Night to working on film sets, Georgie shares how theatre demands instant recovery while film becomes a long game of waiting, bonding, and trying to stay present.
Actor self-doubt is real – One of the most honest parts of the episode is Georgie opening up about the inner critic, overthinking movement and performance, and how she physically shakes it off to get back in the scene.
The character bible – Georgie reveals her detailed actor process: building a full notebook for each character, down to how they wake up and what their routine looks like, so the performance feels lived-in.
Personal heart of the episode – Georgie reflects on how supportive her parents have been, and shares the advice she’d give her younger self: good things will come, love yourself, and love the people who love you.

00:01:17
Jo
I need to know. I've seen you do The Ostrich. I've actually done seen you. i seen I heard you do The Ostrich sound.
00:01:22
Georgie
Yeah Oh did you see the trailer?
00:01:22
Jo
I was like, what the is this?
00:01:26
Georgie
Okay
00:01:26
Jo
Yeah, yeah, I saw the trailer of The Ostrich. So walk me through that. Walk me through premise to go on.
Discussing 'The Ostrich' Film
00:01:32
Georgie
um Have you seen Black Swan?
00:01:34
Jo
Yeah, yes.
00:01:35
Georgie
So it's basically like Have you seen Fleabag?
00:01:40
Jo
Yes.
00:01:41
Georgie
So it's basically a mixture of Fleabag and Black Swan It's like a metaphor of getting your head out the sand Like the ostrich effect
00:01:45
Jo
I can see that.
00:01:50
Jo
Yeah, that's brilliant.
00:01:51
Georgie
um Yeah, it gets quite gruesome, but we didn't want to show that in the trailer. But yeah, it's a bit of a weird film.
00:01:57
Jo
ah Slightly, but ah it's it works. i mean Just by the trailer, me i'm I'm just saying it works. And that means that was a short. How long was that short
Passion for Storytelling on a Budget
00:02:05
Jo
film? 15?
00:02:07
Georgie
It's running at 15 minutes at the minute.
00:02:09
Jo
Okay. okay So when you are doing a like a demo reel, are you trying to make smaller films just to kind of like fill fill feel, feel, feel reel? Or is this something that you're just really passionate about for shorts?
00:02:22
Georgie
I think I'm just passionate about telling the stories. I made one last year, which was sort of a 10 minute long um film, but because it was a bit more of a passion project and no budget, it's hard to get things properly made.
00:02:35
Jo
Right.
00:02:35
Georgie
um But yeah, i'm I'm really happy with this one and it's what I love to do.
00:02:41
Jo
Well, that's brilliant because I'm glad you brought up the doing it because it's a passion. We talked to a lot of people like I really want to be in this and that, but I don't have the like the money, the funds like, well, yeah, a cell phone camera.
00:02:54
Jo
You got three friends.
00:02:54
Georgie
Yeah.
00:02:56
Georgie
Yeah.
00:02:56
Jo
You know, there you go.
00:02:57
Jo
Like it's not the best maybe, but yeah, it's going to start you through.
00:02:58
Georgie
You can do so much now. pray Yeah.
00:03:01
Jo
Did you ever want to make something that you just didn't have the like the technology or just didn't have the crew or just quite get the right setup on on page yet.
00:03:12
Georgie
I think there's always like more you could do, especially with ostrich.
00:03:16
Jo
Right.
00:03:17
Georgie
I you know was going to go all out with the proper prosthetics and everything, but when you are working on a Titan budget.
00:03:22
Jo
Really?
00:03:24
Georgie
We did make a mask, but I think if I had like thousands of pounds, I would have gone like crazy.
00:03:31
Jo
That's amazing though. So there's obviously, there's too many budgets, sometimes limitations. Now, have you ever, have you ever, we're not gonna play have you ever. oh no No, no, I'm not gonna hear that.
00:03:43
Jo
bro Have you ever done this? No, I have not done this. No, we're not gonna do So when you're when you're doing this, I know you have a movie called Method.
00:03:45
Georgie
do
00:03:53
Jo
I'm really trying not to do, for for us in the States, it's the Wu-Tang Clan song. I was like, I'm not trying to do Method Man right now. i swear to God, and I'm not gonna channel that. But, but, but, but what's your acting
Interest in Horror and Female Rage Characters
00:04:05
Jo
style? mean, I haven't seen you're doing 12th night, you've done this and you're doing commercials and voiceovers and now, you know, what's your style for acting? How do you get into it?
00:04:14
Georgie
I think I love horror and female rage characters. And that's very much what in my short films I've written. I've written, you know, a female who goes method into the serial killer role rage and then ostrich is more female rage.
00:04:26
Jo
Right.
00:04:30
Georgie
But I, yeah, I seem to get cast in some female rage things as well. So, yeah. Yeah.
00:04:36
Jo
Well, that's one of the things like sometimes if that's your wheelhouse, that's, that's where you want to go. That's, that's brilliant. I will ask something about stage though. When you're on stage, like 12th night, right? When you're on stage, what's the vibe versus if you're doing a film is a different vibe, same or.
Stage vs. Film Acting Experiences
00:04:54
Georgie
Very different vibe. I played Feste in Twelfth Night, which is like the absolute fool and the clown.
00:04:58
Jo
Okay.
00:05:00
Georgie
um But with stage, there's, if you go wrong, you've got to wing it. There's no one to save you.
00:05:07
Jo
Yeah.
00:05:08
Georgie
There's more.
00:05:08
Jo
And you hope they don't know material.
00:05:08
Georgie
more
00:05:09
Jo
I'm like, they don't know this material. Do they?
00:05:11
Georgie
Yeah.
00:05:11
Jo
Oh, They do. they do it It's.
00:05:12
Georgie
Very different. oh
00:05:15
Jo
Who's a Shakespeare guy anyway?
00:05:15
Georgie
Yeah.
00:05:16
Jo
He might not catch on. Who knows?
00:05:17
Georgie
ah Yeah. You can't improvise Shakespeare. Not really.
00:05:21
Jo
Yeah. ah tape David Tennant. I hope you're listening on that one, buddy. That one's to you.
00:05:26
Georgie
yeah
00:05:28
Jo
I'm not going to say no more. So you have all these, these great experiences, right? As an actor. Do you believe having like everything from theater to commercial and the singing that you have the more experience with the better, or do you you rather suggest like one lane for people?
00:05:47
Georgie
I think I like all, like they're all such different fields.
00:05:49
Jo
All of it. Yeah. Cause that's the reason why I'm into acting because you were just really interested in learning about and just going out and forward. Right.
00:05:59
Georgie
Yeah, just getting the craft. It's just always been in my life. um i couldn't imagine it without it, really.
00:06:06
Jo
That's brilliant. Now, for when you're growing up and like, I want to be, it are your parents like, yeah, okay, hold on Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Study school first, go to dental school first, and then as a fallback, you know, just as a fallback, just say.
00:06:22
Georgie
No, my parents have actually never said, or you know, maybe try something else, which I'm really grateful for.
00:06:29
Jo
Right.
00:06:29
Georgie
They've been amazing, but like biggest supporters.
00:06:32
Jo
Well, that's brilliant because I think if you encourage creativity and honestly, more creativity in the world, the better. And that comes a lot from the parent support or sometimes the lack of can just like crush it all before it gets out there.
00:06:40
Georgie
oh yeah.
00:06:46
Jo
So it's glad you had that experience.
00:06:46
Georgie
Oh, God, you know. Yeah. Really.
00:06:50
Jo
When you are on the ah r RIP, the Ripman, I'll just say Ripman. Ripman part two, the part the second part. When you're on this and you're getting the makeup on and you're getting the things and it's like 3 a.m. m for a call and you're doing this, did you ever think like, I picked that wrong fucking decision, didn't I?
00:07:09
Georgie

00:08:04
Jo
Yeah, yeah, I know. But it's, it gets, like it's fun after a lot. But it it is, it's hard, but it's fun. Like, you know, this part of the experience is pushing it through it, right? So have you gone through all of that?
00:08:13
Georgie

00:08:18
Jo
You've gone through all this. You you've did all your shorts. You did all movies. You did all other things. What's the one thing you haven't done yet then that you really want to? what What haven't you done?

Georgie
Oh, no, I don't think so.
00:08:59
Jo

00:09:03
Georgie
ah think so, yeah. think it's the same.
00:09:07
Jo
Living where you... Living what you do in the great kingdom of the Uniteds. Sorry. Does that... Like Edinburgh, French... but Like a lot of people like gravitate to that. I mean...
00:09:18
Jo
everyone from this person to that person, I'm not gonna name a name. It's like, yeah, we did Edinburgh like i was 20. Like you fucking did Edinburgh. Like how? Like, it was like 12 years ago, but you know, it was like 13 fucking shows and I don't remember any of them.
00:09:31
Jo
Is that like your dream? Does it hit that or?
00:09:34
Georgie
I think I just, I've never been and it's just such a beautiful place to see everyone like bring their art and work.
00:09:41
Jo
It is.
00:09:41
Georgie
um I just love to do it. i love the environment of like everyone together, even like at the pub after everyone's just chatting away and you're meeting new people. I think it's so beautiful. really want
00:09:52
Jo
I was going to ask about that because if you've done the 12th night, you've done the 12th night.
00:09:57
Georgie
to do it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:59
Jo
Like if if you go, you go, ah you know, after the cat after the, you know, the curtain go, you go to the pub afterwards, right? And that's where, like, do you do that when you're filming as well? It's like, oh, the day's over if it is kind of like split birth theaters almost like you always stay as a unit because you spend so much time together as a unit.
00:10:17
Georgie
Yeah, you really do spend a lot of time with each other.
00:10:18
Jo
Is that a different vibe?
00:10:20
Georgie
Like, you're rehearsing for weeks.
00:10:22
Georgie
um I think you do. You just make amazing friends. I think the same with film as well. When you're filming with people for, like, 14 hours and stuff, you you just bond so quick.
00:10:22
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:34
Jo
Yeah.
00:10:34
Georgie
It's nice.
00:10:35
Jo

00:10:45
Georgie
Yeah, crazy.
00:10:47
Jo
I was like, oh, do it again.
00:10:47

00:11:20
Georgie
Yeah, I guess just like the longest you've been waiting.
00:11:26
Jo

00:11:33
Georgie
Hmm.
00:11:36
Jo
AM, maybe 3.34 AM. And you're just like, what's the fucking line again? Can't you say your... And it starts getting testy after a while because you said, like, redo it I don't like that one. What do you mean we don't like that one?
00:11:47
Jo
Say it this way. like Okay, I'll say it this way. No, no, don't like that one. Let's do it. I'm like, fuck.
00:11:53
Georgie
Yeah, the tiredness creeps
00:11:54
Jo
It's like, yeah, jargon, jargon. Yeah, it's like, you're sort of like, how do you want me say it? Yeah, yeah, sure. Just fucking just do a voiceover. Whatever.
00:12:00
Georgie
in. Pardon? Wow.
00:12:01
Jo
Yeah. So how long have you been on Like, what was your like?
00:12:05
Georgie
fadin
00:12:06
Jo
what Yeah, what's your long set? What's your long set? You're on set, you're calling in the morning, and you're still there the next fucking morning going wild.
00:12:16
Georgie
I think I was actually like a supporting role. It was a feature film and it
Endurance in Filmmaking
00:12:21
Georgie
was night shoot. So you started at like 6pm and then finished at 6am.
00:12:23
Jo
Oh, no.
00:12:25
Georgie
But where I was, I'm in like outside London.
00:12:26
Jo
Yeah.
00:12:28
Georgie
So I had to get like a two hour train um there and back. So it was the waiting and just the morning. ah Time didn't feel real this point.
00:12:38
Georgie
Yeah.
00:12:39
Jo
Oh, that's exactly it.
00:12:39
Georgie
Yeah.
00:12:41
Jo
Right? It's like you have no concept of time because you're either inside a studio or you're outside like, what the fucking day it is? It's like going to a club all day and waking up the next morning and still in the club.
00:12:52
Georgie
It literally is.
00:12:52
Jo
God.
00:12:53
Georgie
is so weird. But yeah, it's all worth it.
00:12:57
Jo
Oh my God. Okay. So this this is good. So welcome to Actor's Studio with Joe and Georgie. But that's what it comes down to.
00:13:05
Georgie
Yeah.
00:13:07
Jo
What was... Okay, when you do makeup, when you're just in the makeup, and I don't mean like prosthetics and stuff like that. I mean like actual makeup. Do you do your own? Or do you have like a makeup person or like?
00:13:17
Georgie
I mean, normally the time you are doing it on your own.
00:13:21
Jo
Yeah.
00:13:21
Georgie
um i was, because Jamie, the director, he was like, are you happy to do this sort of goth makeup? Because, you know, I've got experience in it. And I was like, yeah, I'll do it.
00:13:32
Jo
Versatile. See, you're versatile.
00:13:34
Georgie
Yeah, you've got to be in this industry.
00:13:38
Jo
And that's exactly it Like, what can you and do Like, what do you need? Ride horses? How hard can that be? It's very hard, by the way. Don't say you can ride horses if you can't ride horses. You find out really quickly you cannot. At least I couldn't.
00:13:48
Georgie
Yeah. My mum actually is a horse person. She tried to get me into it. And I kind of wish I did if so I could have that skill, but that's terrifying.
00:13:57
Jo
Oh, see, you know and that's Ripman 3, the equestrian version of it. They're all riding away.
00:14:01
Georgie
Yeah.
00:14:01
Jo
That's Mr. Ed. No, Wilbur, no.
00:14:03
Georgie
Yeah. Yeah. Write
00:14:05
Jo
If you guys make that movie, that's my fucking idea.
00:14:08
Georgie
it down.
00:14:10
Jo
No. Right? Stealing my fucking idea. Now I actually want to do that movie. Damn it. Now I want to do that movie. But claymation-wise.
00:14:17
Georgie
Yeah.
00:14:18
Jo
because it goes Just because.
00:14:20
Georgie
Why not?
00:14:21
Jo
Okay, so we are on set. You do all this stuff and you... Is there anything you dread? Like you absolutely just do not want on set. just like, oh my God, I can't believe today's the day we have to blah, blah, blah.
00:14:36
Georgie
I think it's when I'm in my head. It's like, I don't need...
00:14:41
Jo
okay
00:14:42
Georgie
do you know when like every actor criticises themselves?
00:14:46
Jo
Yes.
00:14:46
Georgie
And you think, oh, am I not going to give the right thing or am I going to say it right? Am I going to do this right? And it's, yeah, I think that's the hardest thing.
00:14:51
Jo
Yes.
00:14:54
Jo
No, absolutely. Do you ever do it as you're fucking acting? Like you have a third camera that sits outside of you just looking like, why am I moving like this?
00:15:00
Georgie
Yeah.
00:15:01
Jo
I don't fucking know why am I moving like this.
00:15:03
Georgie
Yeah, honestly.
00:15:04
Jo
It doesn't move like this.
00:15:04
Georgie
or it's like you're told to walk and it's like, how do I walk? Like, I've forgotten how to act like a human.
00:15:13
Jo
You're laughing, but it's true. It's true.
00:15:14
Georgie
It is true.
00:15:15
Jo
it like, how the fuck? And you start moving, like, really weird. Like, how the fuck my feet work? Like, why are my hips going this way?
00:15:20
Georgie
a yeah
00:15:20
Jo
The way I don't really walk like this? my God. Okay, thought I was just, yeah.
00:15:25
Georgie
what about you to what would you say
00:15:28
Jo
Oh no, like, it's the, it's the critic, you're absolutely, it's a self-critic, always. It is a self-critic every time they get you. Like, you're always like, no, no, no. And then if you, if you can silence that, it's actually, you know, that's nut so what we do.
00:15:43
Jo
And if you can't silence it, it's kind of like, that's when the lions, if it's a big monologue, you're like, fuck.
00:15:50
Georgie
Yeah.
00:15:50
Jo
Every, every word you must up. i'm like, oh, fuck. It doesn't really, I don't know. Every fucking small thing. Then it starts piling. It starts piling.
00:15:57
Georgie
Yeah.
00:15:58
Jo
How do you get out of that? Okay. How do you get out of that? I'm curious.
00:16:01
Georgie
oh I think shake it out. Shake it out of my body. Like literally, like physically. and i'm like wow Yeah.
00:16:09
Jo
Yeah. The kinetic. Yeah.
00:16:12
Georgie
And you just got to hype yourself up again.
00:16:14
Jo
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:15
Georgie
think Right, I'm here, I'm down, but the only way is up.
00:16:19
Jo
Well, that's the thing. It's like, if if you went through casting and you have the training and you did all those things, you're hired. They want you.
00:16:28
Georgie
yeah
00:16:30
Jo
Someone saw something in you. like know Even for the... It's so much weirder now about of you. It's like your your reels are all online right now. this and Did you audition in person or online now?
00:16:41
Jo
Just curious.
00:16:42
Georgie
Online.
00:16:43
Jo
It's good and bad. I mean, it honestly, I was like, okay, do you just send in the tape?
00:16:48
Georgie
Yeah. And then sometimes you do a callback so they actually get to meet you.
00:16:48
Jo
Yeah.
00:16:52
Jo
Actually, to see the front, yeah, yeah.
00:16:53
Georgie
Yeah, which is probably best because you don't know someone from a tape.
00:16:59
Jo
No. No, you you, yeah, you really don't. And it's, it's so bizarre because there's, you might have Lauren Michaels sitting there because no there's no feedback. Like, ah, this is month the way I'm doing it today.
00:17:12
Georgie
Yeah, literally.
00:17:13
Jo
hope Hopefully it's good. like I can't read anyone's faces because there's no face.
00:17:17
Georgie
Yeah, they can get lonely.
00:17:20
Jo
Yeah.
00:17:21
Georgie
For sure.
00:17:21
Jo
Yeah. Thank you, pandemic. No. um But it also...
00:17:23
Georgie
ah yeah
00:17:25
Jo
It opens up if you want to do ah casting across the
Using a Character Bible in Acting
00:17:29
Jo
world. It's a little easier that way now, I guess. But do you have a ritual you go through?
00:17:31
Georgie
yeah very a true ritual well like before there or
00:17:36
Jo
Yeah. Like if you're trying to memorize lines or before you're just doing a bigger part, like do you have a ritual that you kind of like
00:17:44
Georgie
yeah i have like a character bible so i have like my big notebook it's actually here i have like this is my bible
00:17:48
Jo
Do you?
00:17:53
Georgie
and everything about this character is in the Bible. So like, what does she do when she wakes up?
00:17:57
Jo
Nice.
00:17:59
Georgie
Does she have a skincare? Does she brush her teeth? Like everything.
00:18:02
Jo
Right. Good for you.
00:18:03
Georgie
Otherwise it's like, I don't know what I'm trying to play. Yeah.
00:18:07
Jo
Yeah. No. Brilliant. That is absolutely good for you. Fuck. I'm stealing that son of bitch. Hold on.
00:18:12
Georgie
Yeah, make Bibles, character Bibles.
00:18:14
Jo
Make Bible. I tried making a Bible once. The church came down on me for that. And they said, yo, man, like oh my Jesus is this way.
00:18:20
Georgie
yeah
00:18:21
Jo
I don't know about yours. made my own Bible.
00:18:23
Georgie
Yeah.
00:18:24
Jo
Georgie said I could. was her advice.
00:18:25
Georgie
then
00:18:27
Jo
No, but but that's honestly, fuck. 30 years later. Yeah, okay. Thanks. Like, that was brilliant. Because I used to memorize, yeah, you have to see what your character is going to, you the needs and wants and whatever your character breakdown is.
00:18:41
Georgie
Yeah.
00:18:41
Jo
but I never wrote it down.
00:18:42
Jo
Sometimes I'll scribble it on like a napkin or something like put it in an old world.
00:18:46
Georgie
Yeah.
00:18:46
Jo
But then you're trying to like, when your memory starts as you get older, you're like, what the fuck was supposed to? Oh yeah, that's what it is. Damn it. Good for you. All right. Now, if, if you could act in, I'll do a play, any play.
00:18:54
Georgie
okay
00:19:01
Jo
What's your what's, what's your goal? If you could get in any play you want, what would it be? Any play.
00:19:06
Georgie
I love People, Places and Things by Duncan Macmillan It was on probably a few years ago at the National now But basically the actor plays loads of different roles
00:19:12
Jo
Really?
00:19:22
Georgie
And it's the it's so like abstract and weird. It's about addiction. um i just think it's an an incredible play.
00:19:30
Jo
That's a brilliant answer. No, it's one of those things, especially if it's a role that you can just really sink and go, go, go, go in different directions with it because, and still have meaning behind it.
00:19:40
Jo
It's a bound dictionary. That's wonderful. Good for you. Good for you. So when's your one woman play to be about that, huh?
00:19:44
Georgie
Yeah.
00:19:46
Jo
When is it coming to Edinburgh?
00:19:48
Georgie
I know, I've got bloody right one, haven't
00:19:50
Jo
Wow. Yeah.
00:19:52
Georgie
Yeah, maybe.
00:19:53
Jo
12,000 characters. All me.
00:19:56
Georgie
Yeah, I think i that's tough, though. but um in the West End right now, Cynthia Erivo is doing Dracula, just all her, playing all the roles.
00:20:06
Jo
Really?
00:20:07
Georgie
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:20:08
Jo
Oh my God.
00:20:09
Georgie

00:20:11
Jo

00:20:14
Georgie
Yeah. Definitely.
00:20:15
Jo
Absolutely. Because that sounds brilliant, man.
00:20:18
Georgie
Because they've sort of broadcast some of the show and it's done all very, very clever.
00:20:22
Jo
Yeah.
00:20:25
Georgie
But I'm and i'm really intrigued.
00:20:26
Jo
I bet. Is it was it prosthetics or was she just like, no shit's given. You get to guess which character I am right now.
00:20:34
Georgie
I think there's subtle costumes. And then she has the teeth, obviously.
00:20:37
Jo
The teeth. If teeth in, like, off.
00:20:38
Georgie
But yeah.
00:20:39

00:22:18
Georgie
so no I know. haven't really delved that much into accents. wi I had a module on it at uni. um
00:22:25
Jo
Yeah.
00:22:26
Georgie
Yeah. But I feel like i when I've been around someone with a different accent, I start mimicking them.
00:22:33
Jo
Start picking it up. Same.
00:22:34
Georgie
Yeah. So I'm really sorry if I start becoming American at some point.
00:22:36
Jo
Yeah.
00:22:39
Jo
Me too. No, wait. But that, no, that's...
00:22:42
Georgie
but Wait, you're American.
00:22:44
Jo
Am I? Oh my God. Don't tell them that.
00:22:47
Georgie
Oh my god, what?
00:22:49
Jo
They won't let me back in, those bastards. Of course I am. i mean, sort of, I guess. I had multiple choice tests. I knew what hockey was. was like, you can come to Canada now. Thanks. I know what hockey was. Thanks. And maple syrup.
00:22:59
Georgie
Oh.
00:23:00
Jo
Honestly, in my test, really weird. So you never, okay. For Ripman 2, I think you should use a Southern Australian Cockney.
00:23:13
Jo
Just like fucking blend that shit in and go for it.
00:23:14
Georgie
my god. That's crazy. I don't even know to attempt that. Could you attempt that?
00:23:22
Jo
Can I do that? ah Not sober, no.
00:23:24
Georgie
No, that's true.
00:23:25
Jo
No, not sober, no.
00:23:26
Georgie
That's the courage you need.
00:23:28
Jo
No, no, no. Although my first time, like i was I did uni in Lancaster and Oxford, so like you know we first time you fly into like Manchester, you take the train up, and two women are sitting next to me like, I have no idea what the fuck they're saying.
00:23:41
Jo
like The Northern accent is still like, nah, and I'm like, what the fuck? Are they talking to me?
00:23:44
Georgie
Yeah. yeah
00:23:46
Jo
So to even nail these accents, I'm going to hats off. Amazing and well done. Now. Oh, shit. Two questions. Only two questions. You ready?
00:23:58
Jo
Question numero uno. See, now we're kind of like, we cleanse it. We cleanse ourselves and we move on. no
00:24:06
Jo
Question numero uno. What is... The one thing advice wise you would give younger and I mean like 10 or below like 9, 10, maybe younger you. What's the one piece of advice you would give?
00:24:21
Georgie
oh Oh, that's a good question. I think, ah I would say good things will come.
00:24:32
Georgie
Love yourself and love the people who love you.
00:24:39
Jo
Ooh, that's nice.
00:24:40
Georgie
Is that a good one?
00:24:41
Jo
No, that's good.
00:24:42
Georgie
Yeah.
00:24:45
Jo
That's tight. No, absolutely.
00:24:48
Georgie
Yeah.
00:24:48
Jo
Because you're focused on the love part then.
00:24:51
Georgie
Yeah, definitely.
00:24:53
Jo
Good for you. Good for you.
00:24:56
Georgie
Yeah.
00:24:56
Jo
This makes my second question to seem me really weird now.
00:24:59
Georgie
Oh, OK, go.
00:25:02
Jo
If you get on a train, going to Birmingham and 13 people on a train and then two people get off and five people get on and then 16 people get on at the next stop but four people get off that stop and then two people get on at the same time but then like oh my god forgot my bag and left and then they keep no that's not my second question my bad I actually had only one question I know no the last question is math yeah the last question is maths good luck no
00:25:26
Georgie
Oh, great.
00:25:28
Jo
