0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.960

<v Speaker 1>in a band, had like long hair, he had a

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>lip ring. He looks like so different.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>It looks like panic at the disco. Literally, that's fall

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 2>out boy. No, we can't sing songs. We've got to

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>pay royalties on this.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.600

<v Speaker 1>And exploring adulthood, family relationships, dilemmas.

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.319
<v Speaker 2>And whatever else we have the mental capacity to deal with.

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Come get the lowdown.

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>This is your male and female perspective.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>So, Matt, where's your head At?

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Good morning morning?

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>How are you feeling today?

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. We're in for our last bulk record before

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>you take your maternity leave.

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 1>No, i'm single today. The rings are officially off my fingers.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>My fingers, I actually have really long, skinny figures. I

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like my fingers probably just look like a normal

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>person's hands.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, do you think it could be a hand model?

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Could I have a hand model. Yeah, I don't know.

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you think I could be.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>A hand model?

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking you, are you trying to give me a

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>compliment here or what? He's looking at his own hands.

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>He's like, no, but I could be man's kna he

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 2>was for a bit. I'm listening to his book still, Oh.

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>You love you love a bit of Matthew mcut.

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I know I do. He was a hand model.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it like self help?

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I might have touched on this before. He says stuff

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that has happened to him, and then he says green light,

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and then he says like it's a green light, like

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>that's a go sign, like he goes. You know, I

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>spoke to this the producer, and he said blah blah blah,

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>green light. And then I I guess in the format

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>of a book, when it's written out, it looks better.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 2>But when he says that, it's sort of right.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Today, I'm officially thirty six weeks pregnant.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations, Thank you.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It's been a long journey. I feel like I wake

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning and my whole body is in pain.

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Like you just run a marathon or something like, Yeah,

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>just serious workout, which I've never had.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>That. No, it's honestly so painful, like the hips, the

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>inner thighs, like it's genuinely like I'm on a treadmill

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>all night and then i wake up and I'm like, oh,

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that was hard training.

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Respect, you're carrying a child, you're carrying wife. Yeah, it's

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a tough gig that you've got there.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised you didn't say another s name. I was

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>waiting for it.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Ah, okay, I was actually over the weekend thought of

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of them. But now I've forgotten write and

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>still no.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>One's got the name. How crazy is that?

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's so obscure of Sammy Boy. Obscure Sammy boy? How

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 2>was your weekend? So?

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I went to the Loom the Van Go exhibition in Melbourne.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Here is that?

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>It's actually really cool?

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Where is it? Is it at the Yeah? Okay, I've

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>walked past it before.

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's pretty cool. Like there's it's basically this huge

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.399
<v Speaker 1>room with all of these lights and his artwork kind

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of projected throughout the whole space. I'm sure you've seen photos.

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty epic, and then there's little areas.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I feel like I have it feels

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>very familiar.

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then there's like little spaces where you can

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>do like different kind of projects or like artworks. Like

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>one room there was all of these art kind of

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what they're called, Like you know

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>how they have those art things set up with the

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>chair and then you would go there and paint or whatever.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>It like teaches you how to draw anyway. So basically

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>like every was like sitting down in little rows and

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>like drawing, which was really cute. We drew a bedroom,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>which was I think one of his pieces was so bad.

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll put it on the Where's your Head at group

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's actually like embarrassingly that you're going to be

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you're going to die. Michael was really good. He was unreal.

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>He was doing like the full like.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 2>You know when you draw and you Drawing to me

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>has never been a skill, has never been something that

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I have thought about doing. Drawing to me was just

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 2>always so. I remember in like wood Tech in year

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>nine and year eight, you know, he had to draw

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 2>those proper drawings, the measurements. I would in class just

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>sit there like pretending to draw, and then I'd take

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 2>it back home and I'd say, hey, Dad, and get

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 2>my dad to draw it and then I'd bring it

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>in the next class and yeah, he's awesome. He knows

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>exactly because my dad's good. I had all the architects

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 2>sort of stuff drawing, and I just yeah.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like there's a difference between Like the difference between

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Michael and I is that like he was doing the

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>shading to draw a line, you know how you like

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>shaved down the line, and minds was like from like

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 1>point one straight down to point two. Like I wasn't

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>looking Like.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Have you done the thing with Michael where you have

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>to paint a bit and you get like time and

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you have to paint and then you swap over and

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 2>you pass it and you're painting a picture. No, I

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>did that. So it was like a TikTok thing where

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you get a blank canvas and you paint and then

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>you pass it to your partner and then you keep

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 2>switching it over.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Well you did it like a like a duel painting.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then you add something to it.

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Michael probably wouldn't want to do that with me,

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'd ruin it.

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It was pretty funny, Like it was originally like flowers

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and I drew like bugs, coming out of the thing.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>It's fun, it's it sounds good. I mean, I'm like

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>so into arts and crafts. I think like a couple

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of years ago I got into adult drawing because obviously

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm big into meditation and mindfulness and reducing anxiety. And

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>someone said that adult coloring in is like so good

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>for this calming the mind because you just focus in

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>all of your energy on adult coloring.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 2>So when we were in before we went into the

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>villa in Love Island, when we were locked into our

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>hotel room for seven days.

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>You were coloring.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I brought a coloring book and Texas. It was a

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Marvel one and I was coloring in Avengers.

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>That's really cute.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, what do you normally do You sit on

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>your phone so you couldn't.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Be on movies.

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I watched movies. I watched like fucking I Reckon

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty something movies I would have watch.

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Did that much adult coloring?

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Well I did. I did a lot, I feel I remember.

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I remember I was like sitting there while watching the

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 2>movies coloring it in. Apparently I was the easiest one

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to deal with my chaperone and told me really because

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I just did not care I just sat there just.

<v Speaker 2>they would have to chat when I was allowed to leave.

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Apparently other people like demanding what time they left, and

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yeah, whatever time, I'll go eat whenever,

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.719

<v Speaker 1>I have a baby. Yeah, I have a hospital bag.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a baby bag. I have a nappy caddy.

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what that is? No, I'm surprised pretty

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>much know everything.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I do. No, I guess I gets a nappy bag. No.

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Nappy caddy is where you set them up on the

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 2>nappy changing table.

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>No. I thought it was like it's like kind of

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>like a bag, open bag and it's got all the

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>nappies in it. So I'm putting it in the back

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of the car so i can change him in the

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>back of the car.

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, that's why everyone does change it.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I'm not like breaking your ground.

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.599
<v Speaker 2>No, it's definitely where posy stuff changed, posy snapping in

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 2>the back of the car before. Definitely.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Also, Matt, this time last year, I was a week

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>off of heading to Grease to get married to Michael.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Is that a year ago?

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>A year ago. Can you believe that time like literally

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>goes so fast you blink.

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>And nah, that's scary.

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>That is scary because I remember being there like it

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.559
<v Speaker 1>was yesterday.

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Same. No, that is scary that I honestly feels like yesterday.

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like we were traveling to Corfu, we were

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 2>even getting there. Yeah. Wow.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny because Michael and I obviously we got

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>legally married a month earlier.

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, And so we've been kind of debating what anniversary

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>all of them, all of them, Well, we didn't do

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the legal one, all of them. We didn't do the

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>legal one because it was very close to my birthday.

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean celebrating them. Just have a glass of

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>champagne for it, or a bottle of champagne. Oh yeah,

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>well you know what I mean, Like I know, you

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.599
<v Speaker 2>have like just like a dinner or something to acknowledge it.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.959
<v Speaker 2>When I say celebrated, I don't mean throwing a party

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like you know, I don't mean like, I just mean

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>like acknowledging it, like.

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Acknowledging everything that we acknowledged it.

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that's something that I like in a relationship.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just to acknowledge all those little things, all the

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 2>little little moments they count because in the grand scheme

0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 2>of things, that's all you've got.

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty cute. Both of our parents actually sent

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.599
<v Speaker 1>us a message and there happy legal marriage today or

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>wedding day. But yeah, we didn't like officially celebrate it.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But we will be celebrating the Greek wedding, our Greek wedding.

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>But it's so close to the baby's arrival, so maybe

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>we won't be celebrating. Is mainly what I was getting at.

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, maybe I'll tell you what you do. Just just

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>all right and just enjoy it, just have something nice, cute,

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>like I was, just acknowledge it.

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know it's funny because like you think, like

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 1>it's weird when you're in a relationship and you've been

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship with someone for let's say three or

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>four years, and then you get married, and then it's

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 1>like you have to start from square one, not to

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>start from scure one. But it's like one year acknowledged.

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I've said before, I will acknowledge the date we met,

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>the date we said up.

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You can be doing a lot of celebrating in your life,

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>but I think that's the I think that's something sweet.

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 2>That's my opinion. I'm a sentimental gar.

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm kind of like, to be honest, there's a

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 1>part of me that's like, I want to book a

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>holiday when the baby's four months old, just celebrate. I

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know where to. I would personally love to go

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>back to grew So I don't know if that's maybe

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.319
<v Speaker 1>just completely out of tune with what it's going to

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>take to have a baby.

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Rights the audience. I don't.

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, guys, if you were a mom listening

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>to this when it was the earliest that you traveled

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.080
<v Speaker 1>with a baby is what I want to know.

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And I was relaxing over the weekend and you sent

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>me a photo of a photo, So I'm assuming this

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>is you charged up by I look at things your

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 2>old phone.

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I charged up my old phone because I'm currently

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>going through this super annoying phase where I'm trying to

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>change my name from Anna McAvoy to Anna Staples. So

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I was looking through my old phone because it has

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>my old email in it, and then I'm not very

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>good at admin, as we know. So then Michael started

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>doing that and I started looking through old photos and

0:11:58.600 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I came across.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>This is a photo of This is the first ever

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>photo taken of Anna and myself featured date back to

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I Reckon two thousand and fifteen.

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you reckon? We were at the Maya Catwalk and

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 1>we had a break in the middle of the day.

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Ye, And then we all went to like a bar,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 1>a four hour break or something before the night show.

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Unrecognizable both of us, to the point where I actually asked,

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 2>So I sent the photo to Matt, why is your

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 2>eyeliner so thick?

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Dude? It was a Maya Catwalk show. It's not something

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>that I did. There was a makeup to the point. Okay,

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's a photo of Matt and I. It's first

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 1>ever photo that we've.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.439
<v Speaker 2>Taken to it's a group selfie.

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 1>It's a group selfie with like a few of the

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 1>other models. It's mainly me and you.

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>It is mainly us. Yeah.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>And then I literally said to Matt, is that you?

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Because that's how unrecognizable you look.

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Man, I am a in that photo. That's yeah, that's

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>that is ten years old.

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 1>And I'm wrapping the brunette hair you are.

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Look at my phone? How small was the iPhone back then.

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Your hand is bigger than the phone.

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll put this on the Instagram and the Facebook page.

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>That is a hilarious photo.

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a photo we didn't even know that we had.

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that I have somehow found this amazing.

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I tried to send it to myself.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Didn't work. Nice phone. Okay, so it doesn't air drop

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>or anything. You can't I message it or anything off there.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean to go back and find that photo I

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.719
<v Speaker 1>was deep in, that was deep in photos. I don't

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>know if I could, or I probably could, but I

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I have the mental whilst pregnant. But

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>we will put the photo of the photo on our

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page, maybe on our Instagram as well, and you

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>guys can have a laugh because it's pretty funny.

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>It's very funny.

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's jump into today's episode.

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>We Love Theories here, where's your header? And I don't we.

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Love a theory conspiracy theories?

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>No, we're not that sort of podcast, not yet, not yet,

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 2>not ever. I was thinking about going and hunting for

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the panther, not hunting panther. Currently in like Ballarat and

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>around the outskirts of Victoria, there's a black panther that

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>roams around. I'm not going to hunt him to kill him,

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>but I want to hunt him to find him and

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 2>report back. I was thinking about doing.

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And you believe that.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't not believe it.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>What makes you believe it?

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 2>There's been sightings of a big.

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>There's insightings of the Lockness Monster in Scotland. It doesn't

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>mean he's real.

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 2>That's your theory. I think Lockheest monsters. We're not a

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>conspiracy theory podcast. Let's move one. We love theories though.

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean maybe the Locknest months who does exist? I

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I've been in that lake on a little

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>tiny boat and I was thinking, well, if this is

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>this thing's real fun.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 2>You're fucked. I actually put on a really budget rated

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Locknest monster movie the other day. I had to turn

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 2>it off. I I don't turn off movies. And you

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>know that that's how bad it was.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Must have been real dire, dire watching. Okay, so on

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>this episode we are talking about the three great love theory.

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So you're either going to be the firework, the candle,

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and the mirror.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>You're either going to be in one of those relationships

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 2>or had one of.

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Those relationships, have had one of those relationships. So it's

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>about people who you've fallen in love with in your past. Obviously,

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>we love doing this, we love figuring out which one

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>we are, and you guys can at home as well.

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so do you want to tell us a bit

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>about these three theories? Anna?

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So first let's start with the firework, the most

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy one, as the name suggests, being a firework. So

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>this love is the intoxicating love, the one that burns

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:53.480
<v Speaker 1>bright but fades quickly. So we've all had that relationship,

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, especially when I was younger. I think the

0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>firework theory happened a lot. Like you meet someone, it's explosion,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and then next minute like it's over. It's it all

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 1>happens so quick.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Super and over.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Literally.

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that what they called the burn bright, die young? Yeah.

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's exciting, it's dramatic, it's explosive, basically like an

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>actual firework. It fizzles out quickly and often leaves behind

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:25.200
<v Speaker 1>a smoky aftermath of drama and emotional wreckage. Matt, can

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I relate?

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think in a couple of firework relationships, definitely.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like these ones, though, everyone has to go

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>through them. I mean I say everyone, that's a bit

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>of a broad statement, but I feel like you learn

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>from them, and I feel like you better yourself from

0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>those relationships and understand a bit more about yourself and

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a bit more about dating. Like we've always said on

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>this podcast, dating is about learning, and to learn, you

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>need to get out there and explore different scenarios and

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 2>different relationships. I think it's a very not useful, but

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>it's something that might seem traumatic at the time, but

0:16:58.560 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you learn from it. Yeah.

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the firework love rarely works out, and I

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.399
<v Speaker 1>think it's good to learn that lesson young Yeah, so

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that you can kind of like see that Yes, it

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>was fun at the start, but it's not there's no

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>longevity in that type of relationship.

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>People mistake that passion for like love and lusters in love.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that happens a lot when you're younger

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But in saying that, I've never been in a

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>relationship where there's not been fireworks at the start, like

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, like tummy, but have you Yeah, I done

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a slow burner.

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was with one when I was like hooking

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>up with the girl for like a couple of years

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 2>before I realized that she was cool shit can started

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>dating her for over two years.

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>That's that must be a rare scenario. Yeah, so what

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys were like friends with benefits. Yeah, and then

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it moved.

0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Into it just it just got more and more like

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, from every fortnight to like once a week,

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 2>twice a week, like go home after going out with

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>her or go like and then eventually just got more

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and more like you know, and the more you talk

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was like dates, more days, and it just

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.199
<v Speaker 2>gradually became a relationship. Didn't work out obviously, Yeah, but

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 2>you know you're young. They can happen you're young.

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, let's talk about the slow burn one. That is

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the candle that is steady but potentially unfulfilling. I've definitely

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>had a candle before. Let's explain it. So the candle

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>relationship is what many of us settle into after recovering

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 1>from the burns of the firework. This is so true.

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>It's steady, it's reliable, and it offers a warm glow

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>rather than a blinding explosion of light. A candle burns consistently,

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>providing comfort, and it could potentially burn for a long time.

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 1>But there's often something missing, whether that be the spark,

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>that challenge, or a deeper connection, and then we end

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 1>up normally leaving the candle relationship because of that. Yeah, Okay,

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I can definitely relate to this one. I think after

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you do get burned by the firework relationship, you can

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 1>sometimes just want that you know, good person who you

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 1>know stability, Yeah, is going to give you that stability

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to be peace. Peace, Yeah, that love, that.

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Piece piece is so valuable in a relationship. I think

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.080
<v Speaker 2>that that is something that is just.

0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally underrated. Like when people say what are you

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>looking for? No one says that piece.

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 2>No one says they want peace. We all want peace.

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.000
<v Speaker 1>What I do want to say about the candle relationship

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 1>is there's still fire, Like the candle still represents a

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>fire burning. It's not saying it's a boring relationship. You know,

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 1>there's still a lot of love there. But I think

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you do end up in some cases blowing out that

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 1>flame because there's just something missing. There's not a big

0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:50.600
<v Speaker 1>enough challenge for you.

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 2>And what would you say to like high school sweethearts

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 2>that are still together.

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're the candle that never blew out.

0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I got told the other day that my

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 2>house captains at my school just got married. They've been

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 2>together for like that's over ten years. Really, that's a

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 2>long time. That's like real, Like and they were dating

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 2>at school.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have a similar story. There's a few couples

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>actually from my school who have ended up together. You

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>know what, I think it's really sweet if you're in

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>love and happy and you meet your person who's your

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 1>forever person at school, Like why not, Like if I

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>met Michael when I was at school, It's actually funny.

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you reckon though you would still be with Michael school.

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 1>We've spoken about this, and I reckon that we would

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>have like dated and then we would have gone separate

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.440
<v Speaker 1>ways and then found our way back to each other

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>at the same time when we were like even it's

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>so funny because Michael was like obviously lead singer in

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a band, had like long hair, he had a lip ring.

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>He looks like so different.

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It looks like panic at the disco. Literally that's all

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>that boy say a scene. No, we can't sing songs,

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 2>We've got to pay royalties.

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 1>We were sitting on this long gust no, and then

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I was like literally had like long dark hair like

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>we literally we put photos of ourselves together when we

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>were younger, and we look.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Like, well, if you're wearing eyeliner from that photo I

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:13.720
<v Speaker 2>just showed you, guys would definitely be best friends.

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Dude, I didn't put that eyelinera.

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Do you see this photo? This eyeliner is so thick

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:22.639
<v Speaker 2>with the.

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Look from the MYR show. Roll it up with them.

0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:32.360
<v Speaker 2>The last and final one in this theory, Anna, is

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:33.439
<v Speaker 2>the mirror.

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>So that is the challenging.

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Before we start. I've never seen a mirror that I

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:39.159
<v Speaker 2>don't get along with.

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Why did you have to say that? Like, I'm like,

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not surprised, but you know, it's so typical about

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So the mirror is the challenging but transformative relationship. So

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the mirror love the one that is the most profound

0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and potentially lasting of the three. So if I was

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 1>going to say that me and Michael are one of these,

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I feel like the fireworks at the start

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 1>was me and Michael, but then we moved into the

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>mirror one.

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a healthy transition I feel of a relationship.

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So let me describe this one. This is a

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>relationship that reflects back to you all of your strengths, weaknesses, fears,

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and potential. It shows you exactly who you are, which

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>can be both terrifying and incredibly liberating. I love the

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>mirror theory as well, Like I think having a relationship

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.359
<v Speaker 1>where you look at someone and you see yourself is

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>so powerful because you can grow so much.

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I say, or you see someone that wants you to grow,

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 2>and you respect and listen to them, and you take

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 2>it on and you want to grow with them and

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>grow together to make the best version of yourself. I

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 2>feel like that is a relationship that's the most powerful

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and will not break. Yeah.

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And if you can like look at someone and see

0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 1>their faults and go I do that too, Yeah, and

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>then you can both help each other. I think that's

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 1>such a powerful relationship. So I think if you're finding

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 1>that mirror relationship, absolutely cherish it, hold on to it.

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It also does mention that some of the most powerful

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 1>mirror relationships that we have in our lives are between

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the friends and family that we have. There are indestructible

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 1>bonds and they're the ones who you turn to at

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the worst possible times in your life and also your

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 1>best and reveal your most happiest moments and your worst moments.

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, though, for this to work, a mirror,

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:33.959
<v Speaker 2>you have to be open to criticism from people you

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 2>love and not take it as negative and take it constructively,

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think your partner is trying to criticize

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 2>you to hurt you. They're just trying to see the

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 2>best of you and try and get the best out

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>of you. And if they are trying to hurt you,

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that's an unhealthy relationship and you need to leave.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>What do you think is the best relationship, the firework,

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the candle, or the mirror?

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the mirror, you think the mirror, Yeah, yeah, I

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>think the you want to grow with your partner totally,

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and I think that if they can bring that out

0:23:57.880 --> 0:23:59.199
<v Speaker 2>of you and you can bring that out of them,

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.120
<v Speaker 2>that's a positive step forward. And that's it. But the

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>safety of a candle is just can't argue with that,

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:09.919
<v Speaker 2>the stability and that piece of that candle relationship absolutely,

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Like that's just what about a healthy mix of all

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of them? Is that on the table? Are we allowed

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 2>to do that?

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And why not? Let's do it.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these are just apparently the three great loves

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.919
<v Speaker 1>that we have in our life. We've spoken about this

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 1>is one sery of it, and this is a theory

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that each of these loves are represented by one of

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.679
<v Speaker 1>these things. Obviously, everyone loves a bit of excitement, everyone

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.120
<v Speaker 1>loves a bit of firework relationship. But I think as

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you get older you prioritize different things.

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I've said this before. There you can have excitement in

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 2>a relationship without it ruining the stability of each other. Yeah,

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 2>likely there are two different things. Yeah.

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 1>I think there's also a lot to be said about

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 1>growing with your partner.

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And oh that's what's that's the idea.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like actually building things together and building your kind

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 1>of like life together, you know, buying a car together,

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 1>we are all.

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Having a child, all that sort of stuff.

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, Okay, Matt, that's all we have time for guys.

<v Speaker 1>time that you speak to me or we talk or

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this podcast.

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Studio, They're going to bring him in.

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Am I going to bring him in?

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Am I going to have a babysit? I don't know.

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You should proably start thinking about that sort of probably

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 2>should be front of mine.

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:22.120
<v Speaker 1>My mom is like so excited. So is Michael's mum

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of course, so we have the best support system from

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the family. And I think if I

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>need a babysitter, I don't think I'm going to be

0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:31.360
<v Speaker 1>short on I've.

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Heard some horror stories about the mum and mother in

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>law getting too involved. That should be interesting. Just people

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 2>in general, tiktoks and stuff.

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, boundaries, boundaries, But like if I'm saying I'm coming

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in to record the podcast and ask both of them.

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:47.479
<v Speaker 2>There's going to be no.

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they can fight with each other, okay, but no,

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>or maybe I can bring him into the podcast. We'll

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>see it might be a bit distracting.

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>It should just sleep. It's weeks. It's him sorry, wow Sand?

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh he should just see C S E A C.

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you just get the name? Well? Did I?

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:20.280

0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you, like, it would be funny

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 1>if you did actually get it. That's like like every

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.440
<v Speaker 1>time you keep guessing these names, I'm like, it would

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.359
<v Speaker 1>actually be funny if you just happen to get it.

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:45.440
