Anna

Fictional character

May 15, 2026

7:29
Her brain was frantically trying to work out what was going on.
AnnaGUEST
7:33
[gentle music] The first part of this strange new life became very, very frightening.
AnnaGUEST
7:41
I remember this persistent, intermittent beep.
AnnaGUEST
7:45
I felt so cold from inside out, even though I was covered in warm blankets.
AnnaGUEST
7:51
It was like my body had been frozen and strapped down.
AnnaGUEST
7:56
I couldn't move a muscle or make a sound, although I was screaming inside.
AnnaGUEST
8:03
I decided I was semi dead and being experimented on.
12:10
After about six months, she was moved to a rehabilitation center.
RuthGUEST
5:40
You're mad.
AnnaGUEST
5:42
You know what I mean, though, Pip.
AnnaGUEST
5:44
After all the worry of the last few weeks, it feels good to be doing work that's practical, manual.
AnnaGUEST
5:49
Tasks that can be done and ticked off.

speaker_9GUEST
12:43
But that's why these campaigns are so important.
AnnaGUEST
12:46
Yeah.
AnnaGUEST
12:47
I keep thinking about how to get it right from the start.
AnnaGUEST
12:50
How do we raise boys so they grow up to understand consent, respect, equality?
44:16
Hmm.
AnnaGUEST
44:16
Where it's like, there's $100 in there.
AnnaGUEST
44:19
You already spent $70 on our kids' birthdays.
AnnaGUEST
44:22
You can't get another gift.
AnnaGUEST
44:23
Like, we don't have any other money.
AnnaGUEST
44:24
We can't flex at all.
AnnaGUEST
44:26
And that just, yeah, that's, like, okay.
LukeGUEST
48:33
Yeah.
25:54
[laughs]
AnnaGUEST
25:55
Sorry? [laughs] Yeah, I will, I will probably have to, uh, watch it again.
AnnaGUEST
26:02
Uh, but yeah, I, I was asking...
AnnaGUEST
26:05
I mean, I was, uh, talking about those, uh, th- this theme, this theme, uh, of, uh, causes and condition and, uh, karma and free will because, uh, I, uh, went to a retreat with a monk who was trained in Malaysia, and, uh, the retreat was about how to change the unwholesome thoughts.
AnnaGUEST
26:33
And, [laughs] and so we practiced, uh, like, some techniques that he gave to us to change the unwholesome thoughts, and also a lot of mudita and stuff like that.
AnnaGUEST
26:46
And so it was really delightful.
AnnaGUEST
26:48
It was really inspiring, really uplifting.
28:04
Is that what you're saying?
0:58
Mrs. Anna, do you know anyone here in Nutty Apartments who can fly and smells stinky?
AnnaGUEST
1:04
Oh my, that sounds like Jason the Oriole.
AnnaGUEST
1:08
He smells stinky from head to toe.
AnnaGUEST
1:11
I mean, he reeks, even 1,000 times worse than stinky cheese.
AnnaGUEST
1:17
Ugh.
AnnaGUEST
1:18
Look, there he is.
27:18
What does it signal when a guy has bad posture? Like, what is good posture versus bad posture? Like, how does that make a guy come across to you?
AnnaGUEST
27:24
If you have bad posture, you just seem, like, lazy, unprofessional, not confident.
AnnaGUEST
27:32
Like, why, why are you slouching? It's so, just, it's so easy to have good posture.
AnnaGUEST
27:39
Um, a guy with good posture, like, they look more confident and, and, yeah, they just look more confident and put together, and they, you look more fit with just having good [laughs] posture.
29:26
Okay.
AnnaGUEST
29:27
The first thing I notice is their face, I guess.
AnnaGUEST
29:30
Um, um, I like, this wasn't on the list, but I like, like, if you can tell that a guy's fit by their, like, neck, if their neck is, like, strong.
AnnaGUEST
29:43
So if I'm on a dating app and I, like, see just their face and I see that they've got, like, a strong neck, I can tell that they're probably fit.
1:35
Anna va vous prouver que oui, parce que c'est à force de chercher le prince charmant qu'elle va être transcendée elle-même par un amour auquel elle ne pouvait pas s'attendre et qui va prendre toute la place.
AnnaGUEST
1:54
On est en 2010, j'ai dix-sept ans et je viens juste de passer mon bac.
AnnaGUEST
2:02
C'est l'été et avec une copine, on décide d'aller dans le village où ma tante vit et qui organise une fête médiévale.
AnnaGUEST
2:09
J'avais jamais spécialement fait de fête médiévale avant, mais c'était un format un peu rigolo pour faire la fête et qui changeait un peu des concerts, des festivals qu'on voyait d'habitude.
AnnaGUEST
2:20
Et au cours de cette fête, on rencontre quelqu'un qui fait partie d'une association de reconstitution historique qui joue donc le rôle d'un chevalier.
AnnaGUEST
2:30
Et cette personne, c'est Clément.
AnnaGUEST
2:35
[musique romantique] Alors, il se présente et puis le courant passe bien, on rigole bien et on décide de suivre leurs dates.

speaker_3ADVERTISER
52:05
Mommy's buying a car.
39:31
Not to have a permanent self that suffers.
AnnaGUEST
39:35
Yes.
AnnaGUEST
39:37
But yeah, I would, I would have...
AnnaGUEST
39:39
I would ask one question.
AnnaGUEST
39:42
Uh-
39:43
Hmm
AnnaGUEST
39:43
... because when you, when we see the cycle of dukkha, so there is this part which is called jati, and so it means that if we don't practice correctly, uh, we get reborn in another identity that, uh, that is created, right?
LexiGUEST
38:51
Like, she's not gonna like it and...
AnnaGUEST
38:54
I am probably not.
AnnaGUEST
38:56
I have bad gym intimidation.
AnnaGUEST
38:57
Like, when I'm at the gym, I'm there to get my workout in for my strong hour and then leave.
AnnaGUEST
39:03
I get uncomfortable when there are really attractive guys around me at the gym.
AnnaGUEST
39:06
I feel like they're judging my [laughs] form and judging everything I'm doing wrong.
AnnaGUEST
39:10
But I think if there was a guy, and I don't think everyone has the experience I did, but, you know, at the gym, a lot of those guys are probably not the kinds of guys I would date.

6 MINS LATER

44:53
And that's how I was like, "This is not ever happening again."
4:44
Tell us about you, your life, and, and maybe what your drinking looked like before you stopped.
AnnaGUEST
4:49
Yeah.
AnnaGUEST
4:49
Okay.
AnnaGUEST
4:50
So, you know, going back in time, um, I started drinking in college, probably no different than anyone else.
AnnaGUEST
4:57
Um, a Gen X-er, like Casey.
AnnaGUEST
5:00
We were, you know, drinking and smoking a lot in college.
AnnaGUEST
5:04
I think really learned to binge drink at that point in my life.

16 MINS LATER

speaker_30UNKNOWN
19:18
My favorite food is strawberries 'cause they- I love their juice, and they're so sweet.
AnnaGUEST
19:26
I like vegemite because it's so yummy on toast.
JuliaGUEST
21:13
My favorite food's mango, and why I like it is 'cause it's juicy.
AnnaGUEST
21:17
Hi, Josh.
AnnaGUEST
21:19
My name's Anna.
AnnaGUEST
21:20
My favorite food to eat is popsicle because it's refreshing.
9:02
We dive headfirst into the detail of it.
AnnaGUEST
9:06
You know, the cause of death in this case is blunt force trauma, which can occur in a variety of death scenarios, but almost always in traffic fatalities.
AnnaGUEST
9:15
So forensic experts or police at the scene will document scene findings such as blood staining on the road, the presence or absence of glass car parts, the position of the body, the distance from the site of impact, the road surface, skid marks, weather conditions.
AnnaGUEST
9:32
All these things help piece together the death story.
AnnaGUEST
9:36
So most of this information I did not have access to.
AnnaGUEST
9:40
But what I love about forensic autopsy is that the body truly does tell the story, and we can determine a lot from the decedent's body in this case.
AnnaGUEST
9:51
The most notable scene finding was present in this report, and that is, was in regards to the shoes or lack thereof.
11:22
Anna goes on to drop one of the many bombs that explode during our conversation, and it's one that takes me completely by surprise.
4:43
So why are you here? She shrugged her shoulders.
AnnaGUEST
4:46
Family duty.
AnnaGUEST
4:48
My father built this place from the ground up.
AnnaGUEST
4:51
He was a pilot in Hungary.
AnnaGUEST
4:53
He put together a plane from spare parts and defected.
AnnaGUEST
4:56
Made his way here.
AnnaGUEST
4:58
Under the Soviets, they couldn't have Christmas, so this place was like his revenge.
5:09
That's really an astounding story.
CamGUEST
3:15
Delays would really screw up everything for us.
AnnaGUEST
3:20
Well, in that case, we could look at routing through Italy and going with one of the Mediterranean east coast container loops.
AnnaGUEST
3:27
But if it's reliability and consistency you're after, I think we should look at overland to one of the Northern European hubs like Rotterdam or Antwerp.
speaker_2HOST
7:28
If the regular carrier loop isn't acceptable, then what else does Anna suggest?
AnnaGUEST
7:34
Well, in that case, we could look at routing through Italy and going with one of the Mediterranean East Coast container loops.
AnnaGUEST
7:42
But if it's reliability and consistency you're after, I think we should look at overland to one of the Northern European hubs like Rotterdam or Antwerp.
51:33
[laughs]
AnnaGUEST
51:34
I will personally sing the song if we go in that direction.
51:40
[laughs]
AnnaGUEST
51:40
You, you don't wanna hear me singing, but I'll do it.
11:49
I'm just curious, I'm just curious to know your take actually on it.
AnnaGUEST
11:52
Yeah.
AnnaGUEST
11:52
I mean, I think it's really important that the parents are very involved in the [chuckles] kids' lives, honestly.
AnnaGUEST
11:58
Like you and Mom really set the standard for how we should talk to ourselves and talk about ourselves.
12:03
Mm.
AnnaGUEST
12:03
I think if I didn't have that foundation, it would've been really difficult because it is all aboutLooks and social media.
AnnaGUEST
12:12
And even, like, I was so disheartened to see, like, and I respect her so much, but, like, Serena Williams, you know? She's one of the faces of GLP-1s now, and she's one of the biggest athletes in the world, one of my biggest role models, and now she's telling a lot of young girls that you can't lose weight without extra help.
AnnaGUEST
12:28
And a lot of people need it, but I feel like someone like her is someone who could try and encourage us to work hard, work out, eat healthy, um, and try and get to our goals.
OGHOST
34:37
Okay
AnnaGUEST
34:37
... to that number you previously had.
AnnaGUEST
34:40
If you have a little bit of variability, so you have a bonus that's kind of unknown, you may have a little bit of variable compensation that comes through, but for the most part, like, you have a base that you can rely on and, and pay your expenses for the most part, then just add one.
OGHOST
36:07
What's your, what's your vibe on OG, uh, having expense flexibility?
AnnaGUEST
36:12
Yeah.
AnnaGUEST
36:13
I think we all need to be really honest with ourselves when we answer this question.
AnnaGUEST
36:18
If you look at your expenses and you can say, yes, I can peel back a lot of these expenses, and I am just spending a lot of money on fun things that I don't necessarily-
21:32
Anna has led me past some of her works in progress, bright tropical scenes hanging off the walls, and is now sitting on a very worn couch wearing a light blue top with pink buttons, shorts, and flip-flops
AnnaGUEST
21:45
Él dice que ella estaba en el baño, que él se estaba bañando y que le tiró el papel higiénico y que le rompió la boca de un puñetazo Jacqueline y que le rompió el labio, que casi le quebró los dientes, pero no le miré ninguna herida.
22:20
On both arms?
AnnaGUEST
22:20
Que yo no...
AnnaGUEST
22:21
Sí.
AnnaGUEST
22:22
Que yo no había observado, pero Harold, mi esposo, sí los observó.
40:29
Yeah.
AnnaGUEST
40:29
And n- never imagined that it would be so realistic that it was, is child pornography.
AnnaGUEST
40:35
And so just the devastation of that, of this kid deciding her fate for her, for the rest of her life, those pictures could be out there floating around.
AnnaGUEST
40:42
And, uh, you know, he decided for her and, and her friends.
AnnaGUEST
40:45
You know, so for me, in not being able, not having any laws out there, not having it classified, AI, as anything that's really, really harmful, um, it's just fake, so you know-
40:54
Yeah
AnnaGUEST
40:54
...
AnnaGUEST
40:54
it was kinda like taken not seriously.
2:22
Tell us what happened.
AnnaGUEST
2:23
Certainly unusual, uh, Jim.
AnnaGUEST
2:25
So this happened, [clears throat] quite a long time ago.
AnnaGUEST
2:29
I was, um, 16 years old, living at home with my parents, [clears throat] excuse me, and my brother and sister.
AnnaGUEST
2:37
Uh, we lived in Cardiff, um, on a housing estate, very large housing estate, but we're very fortunate in that at the top of the hill where we lived, there was a, a woodland, a really lovely woodland.
AnnaGUEST
2:50
Not huge, but not small either, and lots and lots of footpaths through the wood.
AnnaGUEST
2:57
Um, if you take one particular footpath and you walk f- about half an hour or so, uh, you come to a, a main road, very quiet main road.
5:48
Yes, yes.
HananHOST
2:53
For Anna, getting the sounds of words right in English is very difficult and frustrating.
AnnaGUEST
2:59
So sometimes, even if I'm not sure about, uh, correct, uh, pronunciation, uh, uh, this word, I just avoid, avoid it, and because of it, my language, uh, like, sounds, uh, simple.
GeorgieHOST
3:16
She's experienced problems in the past getting people to understand her, even when she thinks what she's saying is clear.
AnnaGUEST
3:23
In a pub, when I want to order, uh, like, some, uh, cocktail, and I said, uh, uh, "May I have a neat whiskey?" But, uh, waiters don't understand.
AnnaGUEST
3:36
I totally sure that I said it correct.
AnnaGUEST
3:40
Why people don't understand?
27:18
He shot her.
AnnaGUEST
27:19
And we had this on a camera, so we were able to see where it came from, and it was horrible.
AnnaGUEST
27:27
We were very scared that he is going to come and shoot us-
27:43
Mm-hmm
AnnaGUEST
27:44
... towards him, but we would never act on them.
AnnaGUEST
27:48
We wanted justice, whatever that means.
AnnaGUEST
27:51
We pursued at least that he was, you know, shamed and known for what he has done to us.

12:05
I'm doing it myself, and the kids responded with accuracy, and I think the accuracy was probably 100%.
AnnaGUEST
12:10
100%.Sometimes they'd have up five fingers, and they'd say six.
AnnaGUEST
12:13
No, no, no, that's five.
AnnaGUEST
12:14
So the kids would correct themselves if they had a wrong direction in what they were saying.
AnnaGUEST
12:19
The whole thing is inexplicable, it's amazing, and it's real.
16:39
While in England, I was able to talk to Finley's teacher, Anna, who originally taught him to, quote, unquote, "see."
AnnaGUEST
16:44
I'd done the ICU training with Nicola about 18 months ago.
AnnaGUEST
16:48
My first case study was Finley, and I was pretty nervous, um, to start off with because you doubt yourself, and, um, there's lots of things to remember really.
CashHOST
28:56
You got this.
AnnaGUEST
28:58
Okay.
AnnaGUEST
28:59
I feel like I've done this before with two.
AnnaGUEST
29:03
[laughs]

CashHOST
36:08
Do, uh, do you have any hidden talents?
AnnaGUEST
36:10
I don't think I have, like, that I can think of right now.
AnnaGUEST
36:12
Let me think.
AnnaGUEST
36:13
You guys, like, had, like, props ready for your hidden talents.
0:04
And he said, "I learned that day, that you know what? Rejection and failure are just speed bumps on the way to success." What's your question, Anna? How can I help you?
AnnaGUEST
0:22
Oh, well, my question is how to deal with failures and to keep the mind always fresh and positive.
AnnaGUEST
0:32
Because I- I doubt myself when I'm losing time and I, yeah, I'm- I'm getting sad of this, you know? When I have the feeling that I didn't, um, that I didn't...
AnnaGUEST
0:47
Yeah, mm, make the time really, like-
