0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 3>things relationships, breakups, reality TV, trending shows, and everything in between.

<v Speaker 2>This is your new go to destination for laughs, gossip,

<v Speaker 2>intimate details, advice, and much more.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey Matt, Hey Anna, how are you?

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm good and how are you?

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 2>So did you manage to download that apple I was

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>telling you about.

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Earlier I had with this app?

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.039
<v Speaker 3>I think you should tell everyone about it because it's

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 3>very interesting.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>All right. So Jen and I were laying in bed

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the other day and her twin sister, Nikki, messages her

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and says, hey, I've got this app. You and match

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>should try it. And I was like, oh, well, tell

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.479
<v Speaker 2>us a bit about this app. So How it works

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>is the concept's pretty simple. It's for baby names, but

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it works like Tinder. So Jen downloads it, I download it,

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:28.919
<v Speaker 2>and we just swipe on names.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>So basically, if the name Tom comes up, you both

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 3>swipe left and right, and if you both like the name,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 3>you hit a match.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 2>You get a match. Yes, So there was all different

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>types of names and I'll swipe and right, swipe and left.

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>So it was Jen and there was a couple of matches.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Actually there was what was the matches? Can you?

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to because in case I think feel

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>like that's bad luck if I share it, isn't it?

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Actually people do like hide their baby names until the bad.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>No, but we've already just it on one. So this

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 2>art was more just trial to see if there was

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>anything else we liked cue.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So this is like this is like a modern day Tinder,

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>but for couples.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm going to download it. That sounds like

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun.

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Well do you and Michael have any names planned out yet?

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Or this has become like a baby podcast?

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Well that's how we're growing. We're moving fast here.

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're evolving.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 3>We do have names but I mean, look, let's reverse

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. I've had in my notes section in

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 3>my phone for literally as long as I can remember,

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>Like I reckon, I was eighteen when I started this.

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 3>I had a list of all the baby names that

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 3>I've loved. Has it changed, Yeah, the list has evolved

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 3>over time.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you change it every new partner or do you

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>just keep the same name each partner?

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like if I had agreed on a name with someone,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>like an ex boyfriend, that gets crossed out. Like I

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>basically read Michael the list and then and he was like, yes,

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 3>I love that name. I love that name, but this

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 3>is very, very far into the future, like we're not

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>thinking about baby's FYI. But I just thought it was

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.839
<v Speaker 3>funny that Matt and Jener already swiping left and right

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 3>for baby names.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 2>It was good for a Sunday morning swipe. You know,

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd normally do that hungover in bed on a Sunday,

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>just swipe on the dating app. So it was just

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>my way of doing it now that I'm in love

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and got a partner.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Gave you that little fix, right, that little.

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Serotonin hit when a match would come up.

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, look, I am interested now that we're

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 3>talking about babies to kind of hear if you have

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>any little updates on your fertility journey.

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>So where I left it last, it's pretty much at

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the same place. So I had a long, in depth

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>conversation with Genevieve about it, and we just both agreed

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that when it comes time to have a baby, I

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 2>will have that surgery. So it's the doctor recommended to

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>have the surgery when your partner is there. So they

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>put the sperm straight into the egg. That's if they

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>find sperm in my balls.

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, So basically the surgery, I don't know, Just correct

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 3>me if I'm wrong. The surgery was when they open

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>up the testicle, they'll look for sperm Phase one is

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 3>basically and hopefully they'll find the sperm.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>If they don't find the sperm.

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>That conversation we haven't had yet.

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Right, But if they do find the sperm, which I'm

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 3>sure and hope they will.

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Fingers crossed And that's the way I'm leaning like my

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>life that way.

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, manifesting that.

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if they do find it, then what is jen

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 3>under anesthetic?

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they might freeze it or they might have

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>her egg already to go. We're not sure one hundred percent,

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>but that they said the quickest way and the best

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>results is when her egg is ready to go straight away.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not sure how they'll do that. We'll have

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to look more into that.

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 3>But the main thing is is you guys have had

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 3>that conversation. That's the path you both decided to go down,

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 3>and like, that's really exciting.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>That, Yeah it is. Look, those chats have to happen earlier,

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>I guess in the situation, I mean, or else down

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the future. If we don't see eye to eye on it,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>it could cause some dramas.

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's exciting. I'm excited. May going to be an

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Auntie Thoon.

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 3>He's got the ab, he's organizing the surgery.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe not too soon. Let's just see how things go on.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>All this kid's talk. And I saw your story last

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>week and you were posting about the new male contraceptive pill.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm excited, all.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Right, So we'll jump into that next all right, And

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 2>before we jump into this new scientific masterpiece of a

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>male contraceptive pill, what contraceptions have you been on?

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I feel like I've done it all.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 3>So I started when I was seventeen. I think on

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 3>the pill. I think I went through three different pills

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.679
<v Speaker 3>and they all just completely fucked with me. Like one

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 3>I was super moody, one I think I gained a

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 3>little bit of weight, and then another one affected my

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 3>skin badly.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 2>They're all the main side effects.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, they're the main symptoms, but I just wasn't

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 3>happy with any of them. So then I decided to

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 3>try the implan on, which is the rod in your arm,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 3>which I have a scar from having. That was really bad.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>I basically was on it for like six months and

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>then I got my period and I had it for

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>three weeks straight, so went to the doctor. They immediately

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 3>took it out, and then from there they said I

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.239
<v Speaker 3>could get injections, and I actually decided against that because

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 3>the doctor said that one of the side effects to

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 3>that was it can make your bones really weak.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So I was just like no, like, definitely don't want

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to do that.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 3>And then I eventually ended up having the marina, which

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 3>they basically put inside.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>But when I.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Got that, I had a really adverse reaction to that.

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Was in bed for like two days straight. Was the

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>worst pain I'd ever felt. When they put it in,

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I thought I was gonna faint and vomit all at the.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Same time, aren't you under No.

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 3>No, they'd given me medication to kind of like dull

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 3>down the pain, but I felt everything like it was

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 3>honestly one of the worst experiences of my life, to

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>the point that I was actually traumatized. And when I

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 3>got it taken out, because I had to get it

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>taken out in the doctor's office again, on my way there,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 3>I was literally shaking.

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I was so stressed out.

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 3>And so then after getting it taken out, because it

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 3>lasts for five years, I realized I needed to get

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>more contraception again because it's a woman's job apparently, and

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I actually opted to go under. So I had surgery

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 3>to get it put back in because it was the only.

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>One that agreed with me.

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>So you still have it now.

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I still have it now, but I'm like terrified to

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>get it to take out.

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Wherever us does it sit?

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>So it sits in your uterus.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I've been through a huge amount of birth

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 3>control and it's actually been quite traumatizing and taxing on

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 3>my mental health but also my body. Like I've been

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>on contraception now for eleven years, so I think when

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 3>I saw it.

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Was on like morning TV.

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 3>I saw that, like there was a male contraception, and

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 3>my eyes like lit up, and I.

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Was like, hallelujah, the day has.

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Finally come time to put that responsibility onto someone else.

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>So I was very excited.

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>So when you were watching this morning show, what were

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 2>they exactly saying, what's a new update on this contraceptive pill?

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Because I heard about ten years ago they tried this

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>but they went silent and nothing came of it.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, so basically they've done a lot of trials.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, contraception came out in the nineteen sixties for women,

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 3>and you'd think in that time that the sign would

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 3>have developed male contraception, but it's just totally been lacking.

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.839
<v Speaker 3>So the last contraception for male they said there was

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 3>too many side effects and it wasn't approved. But this

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 3>one that they have recently done on mice has proven

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>to be ninety nine percent effective in preventing pregnancy, which

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>is amazing. And there are possible side effects, but they're

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 3>like any other side effect that I guess a woman

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 3>has to encounter, which is acne, headaches, reduce sex drive, fatigue,

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of weight gain, and mild erectile dysfunction.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>So say a man went on this pill, I'll call

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>it a cycle of this contraceptive pill, so it would

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 2>shut down their sperm production how long until they could

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 2>reproduce sperm.

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 3>So basically the research found that after four to six

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 3>weeks the mice could reproduce again.

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.719
<v Speaker 1>So it's basically exactly like.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 3>Any sort of contraception that women use. And as soon

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>as you go off it, in about a month or

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 3>two months max. Everything kind of regulates and is back

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 3>to normal.

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I's producing those again. Yeah, So has this been tested

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 2>on humans yet or is it just mice? What's to

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>go there? Because I'm not putting anything in my body.

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.319
<v Speaker 2>It's just been tested.

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>On mice, so it's been tested on mice.

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 3>But they're starting phase one trials on humans, hopefully by.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>The end of this year.

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 3>So the end is in sight for all of those

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 3>women out there who have been on contraception their whole lives.

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>If you're anything like me and pretty much everyone I know.

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>But I have a question for you, Matt.

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>If the contraception pill was readily available to you, and

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I know this is touchy because obviously you're infertile, but

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 3>before you found that information out. Let's go back.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>To when you're eighteen.

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you see keeping around with a lot of girls

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>potentially having unprotected sex, or going home to a girl's

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 3>house at four o'clock in the morning, very drunk, very hazy,

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>and not really getting that condom on very well, do

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 3>you think that this is an option that you could

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 3>potentially get around?

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Sure, i'd definitely. I would definitely take the male contraceptive pill.

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have a vitamin routine every morning in

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>the night, so it's not hard for me just to

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>put that pill in that tray of pills, so that

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>would be easy done to take. But look safe sex

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to me matters like I think all about all that,

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>But if I have a partner that I'm having continuous

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>sex with, I don't want to be wearing a condom

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I didn't back in the day. So if they weren't

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.680
<v Speaker 2>open to taking a contraceptive, I'm more than happy to

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>step up and take that pill to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what about your friends? Do you think your friends

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:53.719
<v Speaker 3>would be on board with it?

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I had a discussion with him when we spoke about this,

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 2>and you put your story up. I got a lot

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>of mixed reactions. Really, yeah, some of my roomis were like,

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, you know, just like uming and ring

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>about it. I talked them into it a little bit,

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 2>but they were still arming and ring. They were like,

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 2>show me some actual scientific research first.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes. See, Look, that whole dialogue pisses me off because

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 3>it makes me just like so frustrated, because I feel

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 3>like it's so ingrained in our society that contraception is

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>a woman's responsibility. And I think the reason why that

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 3>pisses me off so much is because women are expected

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 3>not only to carry children for nine months, they're also

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 3>expected to deliver that child out of a very small place,

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and they're also expected to go through menopause. So I mean,

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I think that probably shows a lack of maturity, I

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.559
<v Speaker 3>would say on some of your friend's parts who aren't

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 3>really keen and who are worried about the side effects,

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 3>because I mean, as I mentioned to you before, like

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 3>I've gone through ten years of trauma having contraception, So

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean it would be amazing for men to step up,

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 3>even if they get a bit of a headache, or

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 3>even if they're going to gain a little bit away.

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Because we've been dealing with that our whole lives.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 2>So have you spoken to Michael about this pill? Would

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Michael be happy to take it? Yeah?

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 3>So I've spoken to Michael about this and he said

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 3>that if there is a pill that's approved form men,

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 3>he would be more than happy to take on that responsibility,

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 3>which obviously is the correct answer.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Michael did make a joke and was like,

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>but I want to have a baby, so maybe I

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't take it. Oh my god, don't baby trat me.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Being responsible for birth control, in my opinion, should be

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 3>a male's responsibility because men are fertile every single day

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 3>of the year.

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>If you have like your fertility.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 3>It's fine, And women are fertile for about a week

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.319
<v Speaker 3>every month, So I mean, you would think that it

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 3>would be a male responsibility.

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't that come down to more communication then, Like, shouldn't

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a woman say this is my most fertile time, let's

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 2>take precaution around this week.

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean yeah, but I think it's just always been

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 3>a woman's responsibility in society, Like the only two things

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>that a man can do is use condoms or get

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 3>a vasectomy to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Whereas women have

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 3>all these options, so people feel like, well, it probably

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 3>should be her responsibility people in their like teens and

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 3>twenties who are having sex. I feel like guys would

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 3>want to be able to have that option to protect

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 3>themselves from unwanted pregnancies or that baby trapping that no

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 3>one likes to talk about, but like guys are scared

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 3>of happening, or I mean, these things have happened. I

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 3>know people who have had kids when the guy didn't want.

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>To, there'd be a lot of celebrities that would want

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>to take it. Like do you hear that story about

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 2>how Drake puts the tabasco in his condom?

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>No, what happened.

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>So when he has sex with the girl and he

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 2>takes the condom off, he'd put it away in the bathroom,

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 2>but he put a bit of tabasco in there because

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>he'd had girls trying to put it back inside of

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>them to get pregnant and baby trap him. So she

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 2>used the sperm that was in the condom, but he'd

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>already put tabasco in there, So when up her vagina

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and like burnt her. Have you know that was a

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of months ago, that story got leaked.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I've never heard.

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll find it and I'll show it to you.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Look, I think that contraception should be an individual responsibility.

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Like if I'm having sex with someone and I've chosen

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 3>to have unprotected sex, which we absolutely do not condone,

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>and where's your head at? You should be able to

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 3>protect yourself. And it shouldn't just be women who can

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 3>protect themselves as well. Well, Okay, Matt, we've spoke about

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 3>individuals and how it should be their choice if they

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 3>want to protect themselves, but let's talk about people in relationships,

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:16.640
<v Speaker 3>because I think that the male contraception really benefits people

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 3>in relationships.

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I agree, because you can't always trust a bloke that's

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 2>going to say he's on the pill. Imagine these one

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>night stands and a guy's like, no, no, no, don't worry,

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the pill.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, are they really going to lie if

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 3>they could potentially cause an unwanted pregnancy?

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>A dumb, horny eighteen to nineteen year old boy probably would.

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 2>You can't trust him, You can't, Like, he just wants

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 2>to get in and out, he wants to do what

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>he needs to do.

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's just immature. And I just like I

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.080
<v Speaker 3>can't buy into that dialogue. I think if you're having sex,

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 3>that comes down to sex ed and really like, if

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 3>you're having sex with someone, you need to be on

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>top of that. And I think if you think that

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 3>a kid at nineteen is going to have sex with

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 3>someone and lie about being on the male contraceptive pill,

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 3>we have bigger issues in our society then, because.

0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean.

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And even surely if they did lie about it and

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 3>they said, Okay, I'm on the male pill, surely as

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 3>soon as that horniness spark has left their body, like

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 3>with other things, that they'd be like, oops, sorry, my

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 3>horniness got the better of me, and we probably should

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.560
<v Speaker 3>go take the morning after pill, right.

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hopefully, because I mean, or else he'd be someone's

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 2>baby daddy paying child support for the next eighteen years.

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He'd be liable for that baby.

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, So let's talk about relationships. Anna, this is

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>more for you than me. If this male contraceptive becomes

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>in store and it's accessible, would you want Michael to

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 2>take it?

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, I think I've put my body through

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Helen back, not just physically but also emotionally mentally, and

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, I've been on contraception for eleven years, and

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, it would be nice to give

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 3>my body a break and to be able to just

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 3>like balance out those hormones. And yeah, if I didn't

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.879
<v Speaker 3>want to have a baby, I would love for Michael

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 3>to take the male contraception.

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Is there any side effects of taking women's contraception for

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.040
<v Speaker 2>too long?

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's like so many side effects. When I posted

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 3>this on social media, this girl actually DMed me and

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 3>she said to me that she was only allowed to

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 3>be on contraception for three years, that's what the doctor

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 3>told her, and any longer than that and it would

0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 3>do some serious damage to her body. There was also

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 3>another girl who said that she had a brain humor

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 3>because of contraception. People have strokes all the time because

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 3>of contraception. As amazing as the science is to be

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 3>able to prevent pregnancy ninety nine point nine percent of

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.400
<v Speaker 3>the time, like, there are subsequent effects. And I think

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 3>society has expected women to just take on this burden

0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.880
<v Speaker 3>essentially because it is a burden and we've just worn

0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 3>it for years and years and years, and like, people

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 3>do stay on contraception for the majority of their life

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 3>until they hit menopause to prevent unwanted pregnancies. And you know,

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 3>I do believe that it is time for men to

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 3>step up. And I'm pretty disappointed, if I'm being honest,

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.359
<v Speaker 3>that it's taken until twenty twenty two for there even

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 3>to be any sort of breakthrough when it's been around

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 3>for so many years.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, so this is a massive breakthrough in modern medicine, Anna,

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 2>But when we finally get access to this, it's going

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 2>to be a game changer. And hopefully there's a lot

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>of men out there that stand up and take this

0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 2>responsibility and burden off their partner and they take the

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 2>male contraceptive pill. How do you see the next couple

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>of years playing out with this?

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Look, I think when we finally get access to this,

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 3>which I'm hoping will be sooner rather than later, but

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't see this really making headway onto our shelves

0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 3>for at least two to three.

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Years, like minimum.

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 3>But look, I think with couples, I feel like the

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:08.920
<v Speaker 3>male partner will take that responsibility from their female partner.

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 3>And look in regards to individuals, I think that there'll

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 3>be way more guys stepping up to take the pill.

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 3>I think people want to have that power, and they

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 3>want to be in control of their own life. To

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.920
<v Speaker 3>be honest, no one wants the stress of an unplanned pregnancy.

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 1>There's so much financial pressure that comes with that.

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 3>It's a total lifestyle change, and you know, I think

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 3>everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions.

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess
