Big up Sweet Anita for giving such honest answers to our nosy questions! What questions do you have about Tourettes syndrome that you want Sweet Anita to answer? 🇳🇺

She's a fantastic spokesperson for tourettes she explains it so well it really does educate people on the syndrome and shes so likeable

To think of all the horrid shit she's been through and yet she still has a sense of humour and has a positive outlook on life. I've had a pretty horrendous year not even considering covid and lockdowns etc, and it's nothing compared to so much of her life. She is truly an admirable person.

She's so sweet & real. Such a lovely girl ❤️

The way she educates people is good, I always enjoy listening to her 🤝

As someone that has tics I really appreciate how respectful everyone has been, also how open the conversation is. I need to listen to the full podcast cos it’s brilliant.

I wonder how long Jaack’s been waiting to ask this question 😂

She’s very sweet. Hope she finds happiness

Honestly Anita is unreal for doing all this, really makes you understand Tourettes better

The "hes gonna burnnn" bit made me laugh so hard

i didnt think there would be such good chemistry in this episode

Really appreciate you making this video and spreading information! I’ve had tourettes for about 13 years and for a long time people have completely misunderstood it. Sweet Anita is a really good representative for a lot of us that have it and I’m really glad that she’s helping bring it into the mainstream!

She’s actually got a pretty awesome personality around it, it’s great to see.

She is amazing. Lovely young lady, great sense of humour and clearly a tremendous spokesperson for tourettes 👍

Never seen this podcast before, but I appreciate how candid this conversation was. It was answers to common ignorance and that's all the guys wanted. This podcast wrote itself. No malice, just being open and kind.

I love this! A honest, civil discussion on something the majority of us only have a "movie view" on. The woman is awesome with her honesty.

The first time I heard about tourette's was while watching the movie " In front of the class". It's a beautiful movie that depicts this syndrome and made me empathize with the people who have it. Watching her talk and joke about is entertaining but doesn't take away from the fact that it's disruptive to regular life and she has to live with it everyday, so much respect to her.

Person with Tourette's here, great entertaining video shining positive light on the subject. One thing to keep in mind is that many people with Tourette's don't have tics that involve blurting out words or phrases. That's actually a bit more rare even though its the type of tic (understandably) that gets the most media attention. Even without this the struggle is very real. I sometimes have painful muscle aches from flexing or moving in a certain way from tics hundreds of times a day. I definitely have a harder time falling asleep because of them, not to mention the impact on snuggling where the arm my wife's head is on is flexing every 30 seconds. Many people think I'm winking at them or have something in my eye when it's just a tic.

I could listen to her talk all day, what a sweet lady, so polite. 💕

I know this video is about ticks, but just from a production side, there are a few quite nasty ticks in the audio which have caused my speakers to switch off a few times. They should be visible on the waveform to the person who edits this, and there are plenty of click removal options, in audition and audacity if needed. Just for if it occurs in the future :) Great episode by the way

Just discovered this clip and had to comment and subscribe too. I have Tourettes myself and could not stop laughing through this one, mostly because of her wit and honesty. Loved the reactions from the boys but yeah loved her for sure. Your Fellow Australian Massacist...

Interesting stuff. She seems pretty cool and that actually answered alot of the questions I had about Tourettes syndrome. Keep up the great work

Don’t have Tourette’s thankfully but can kind of understand the psychology of anxiety and trying to suppress thoughts particularly intrusive ones.

She is so good at explaining the condition and making it understandable. Maybe I’m just an idiot or I can’t think of the word but her giving examples of what it’s like really helped ☺️

That Tracer impression was actually on point

The sleep talking makes me curious. Do people with tourettes dream that they have tourettes? Or are their tourettes non existent in their dreams?

OMG, this is so awesome, my neighbor has Tourettes and it is so hard to understand, her talking through this is eye opening. It's nice to see her so open with it.

Im absolutely roaring at this !! 🤣🤣 please more people come forward and spread awareness!!

I’ve looked after someone who had this syndrome. It’s quiet fascinating. They tend to say funny things sometimes. I think this should be taught in schools

She is absolutely stunning - both personality and looks. And I love her explanation for some of the ticks - that it's often what you fear the most. That makes a lot of sense..

"Like suppressing a sneeze." Nailed it. You explained it so well.

Anita's emotionally intelligence is so great, and she is awesome at explaining.

Sweet Anita really is the sweetest person on this platform

She’s amazing. I need more content from her asap. What a doll!

I had intrusive thoughts in my 20's, possibly the worst time of my life, I never knew if I really said those things or I was hallucinating saying them but I couldn't take responsibility, especially for those things that you don't think or believe and are just offensive but it was just so awful. Im so impressed, I bow to the clearity of this girl mind who gets so much out of life.

This was one of the best podcasts you guys have done yet

once I got past the stunning looks I totally fell for the personality and intelligence. what an impressive human. not a usual reaction for me. you have absoloubtly earned your success

Well done guys, amazing video, and kudos to Anita for partaking in this, she is the best. Love the answers, and this should go viral as it outlines a very unusual problem that people just laugh about.

I came for the laughs. But I learned a lot. Great show. Awesome girl.

I had tourettes from 6 or 7 yrs old to 18 or 19. Prime development years. It hurt my confidence a lot and people had little knowledge of tourettes back then. Glad to see that more people are able to learn about it now.

She is so open, so honest, so likeable, I hope she enjoys life to the fullest! 🧡

Oh my godd her laugh always makes me melt

I have Tourette’s syndrome physical Tourette’s and Doesn’t affect a single thing of mine but it’s. A Hard thing to live with. They are so hard to live with and make work so much more tiring and exhausting but suppressing them is hard

I outgrew my tics (for the most part) but I have to say, she is very accurate on the thinking vs. feeling part. Tourettes is so hard to explain to someone who doesn't have it because of the false assumptions. It was so hard growing up - I will always respect anyone who speaks on this subject.

Sweet Anita was the funniest person on Sidemen tinder and that says a lot aha

She was actually wicked. one of my top guest for sure. nice work !

So awesome that she has embraced and is able to tell her story so we the rest of us become educated.

Top notch intermingling of human spirits here Well done From AZ, US 🙏🌏🤙

HES GUNNA BURRRRRN!!! I’m sure she’d be an amazing person to have in your life, she’s so open and hilarious with it, it’s so attractive

great interview thank you for interview sweet Anita 👍👍👍

Anita has a boss sense of humour and embraces her tics. You can't help but laugh at her stories because she is having so much fun.

Vey intelligent lass. cracking' sense of humour, bubbly personality, awesome banter on such a serious topic and a killer smile. I laughed my guts out - Thanks Anita

This lovely lady was the most interesting, most intelligent person you’ve had on the pod boys. I will never look at a hot dog bun the same ever again!

Aww Anita, she's so sweet and beautiful. I can't wait to listen to the full podcast

I love how open she is

Awesome interview, she is awesome and explains things so well.

I have to find one, It would be impossible to ever be depressed around a woman like this. Also can we take a second to appreciate the perfect bubble sound she can make.

People put too much meaning into words that other people say, that's the problem most of the time.... Bless her soul.

Coming from a guy with Tourette’s I personally never had any of my tics occur during its only before we would have a “good time” but it’s interesting to hear another person with Tourette’s especially the lady perspective

What a wonderful lady, and good spokesperson for the condition.

Such a genuine person

Loved that girl ever since she said hello sailor to Josh

Oooh this is about to be a good episode

Incredibly self aware… and polite. Love her. She’s awesome.

Anyone else listening with headphones hearing static noise at random times in one ear? very annoying

Anita is always a joy to watch

Loved this, this is something I know that's out there but never really figured out how their lives are.

She's incredibly attractive alongside intelligent, what else could be more gracious?

She’s absolutely adorable and completely enjoyable to listen to. She didn’t allow Tourette’s to dictate her life. Cheers.

Sweet Anita is real to the core. thanks for this.

OMG, she actually did a really good Tracer impression!

Wow.Anita is a legitimate darling. She has a lovely personality, a delightful voice and is beautiful.

Good to see Pedro Pascal on the podcast

I have tics as well, it can be challenging at times and I get a lot of strange looks but most people are understanding when I tell them luckily.

The little sound blips of static are killin me

She’s an absolute legend 😂🤙🏼

That tracer impression was incredible 😂

Anita is a treasure! Many thanx guys 👍👍

This might be my new favorite podcast next to JRE

Nice of the lads to also make the video tic as well!

Love it . Wonder if her skill can be used to destroy your enemies. Especially if their easily embarrassed.

I’ve always wanted a voice over on my Navman of someone with Tourette’s 😂 I’m glad to see how she laughs along at her ticks

It's not what she's thinking but it's what society says you're not allowed to say, and she has the urge to say it. She doesn't personally believe it but the harder she tries the more it builds then tick, she's exploring society, involuntarily through her involuntary ticks

My latest annoying tick is that I've been doing for the last few years is to constantly say the day of the week. The funny part is that most of the time I am not even saying the correct day. It's like each day I will get a certain weekday stuck in my head, and I will say it over and over at least 500 times a day, no lie. For example, it usually goes like this... Wednesday, wed ness day, Wednesday, waday waday waday waday waday waday, its wednesday, today is wednesday, tommorow is wednesday, wednesday is my day off (even though it's not), wednesday gotta go to bed, gotta work tomorrow on wednesday, waday waday waday waday waday waday, today is tuesday tomorrow is wednesday. This is a very common session of how my entire day goes. As I am saying wednesday, I also visualize the word in my head as well. You can imagine how this affects my sex life with my wife! I usually can't finish because I am always taking myself out of the moment because I start busting out the day of the week, and visualizing it as well. On top of this, I also turn my eyes as hard as I can to one side, I slam my mouth closed smacking my teeth ( and always chipping the ones in the back), I shake my head ( causing headaches), my tongue sticks out more often than my dogs, along with much other fun stuff! I know from you guys reading this you would never want to be around me because I sound crazy (maybe I am), but I feel blessed to be healthy and I wish I could somehow help out others going through the same thing. I would like to help children because I know what It's like growing up with tourettes. In Jr.high school I would have 10 classmates at the same time all making fun of my head shaking tic, and it continued into high school. Somehow It never bothered me too much and the kids making fun of me noticed that, and they eventually stopped giving me shit and actually felt bad. My mom said my tics started when I was around 5 years old. She took me to a doctor and she still has the notes he wrote about me. He said I was showing strong signs of an abused child, there are bits in there about my dad hitting me. I never turned to drugs and alcohol. Even though people know I have it, I am so embarrassed about it and pretend I am normal. I can get pretty loud inside my house when I feel no one is around, but I feel embarrassed when I see my neighbors because I know they have heard me. In my head I am normal, but I think what they would think about me, they probably say there is the crazy guy. It's sad, but nothing really I can do about it.

What a refreshing take on this. My daughter has it too

This is a really positive interview.

What a sweet attractive girl she is. I really learned a lot about Tourettes. Even though I knew someone with it, she explains it so well.

She’s honestly gorgeous

Great show!!

She's so naturally funny when she tells her stories.

Even in 2022 tourettes is not known to the public as it should have been. I can only imagine what people with tourettes went through 50 , 100 or 200 years ago. Probably people thought they were possessed or something.

is anyone else getting popping in their headphones from this video?

Big up the stronghold reference 😂

She is absolutely hilarious and always cracks me up. Love her.

she's so class i'm almost tempted to start using twitch.

I was raised Baptist, and now I walk down the street screaming, "Goddman the Baptists!" i literally cannot help it.... I understand how this happens.

4:40 Thank You for saying that !! And that tension intensifies ticks.

The fact that its 2024 and with all the sources of media we have literally at our finger tips, wether its social media, youtube or just good old tv, but yet some people still don't know what Tourettes syndrome is, is just staggering to me. I grew up just as the internet was being introduced, but I knew exactly what tourettes was long before. How do people still not know or even heard of it?

The "I've got a bomb" thing is a particularly sticky issue, because in certain kinds of situations there's an actual bona fide public safety issue: statements like that, shouted into a crowd, can cause the kind of panic that results in people being crushed or trampled to death. I don't know that the specific room you were in was necessarily at such a level (most aren't, obviously), but there would be some circumstances wherein they actually would legitimately *need* to remove you, regardless of whether you can help what you're saying or not. Problematic scenarios would be ones featuring large, standing crowds, limited lighting or otherwise poor visibility, and few or narrow exits or bottlenecks, among other things. I have difficulty imagining an airport TSA screening line where yelling "bomb" would qualify as a genuine public-safety issue, for example, (although I can easily imagine a TSA screening agent *thinking* that it does). A court room... I don't know, there are some pretty old courthouse buildings out there, so it's at least vaguely plausible, but on the other hand public buildings like that *usually* have rather wide hallways and pushbar-equipped double-door exits, even when they're old. And there's basically NO real public safety issue unless the crowd is large enough that someone can hear what was shouted and not be able to tell who shouted it.

Anita is the best 🖤
