Speaker 2: We'll be getting my live reactions kinder.

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: Live reactions on the park.

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but before we get into them, should we

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: do our obsessions of the week, of course, sadly tell

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: me what you're obsessed with. I mean, I feel like

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: you probably already know what I'm about to say. But

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: my obsession of the week is that Hillary Duff is

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: coming to Australia finally, and I've never seen her live before.

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: I don't when was the last time she was he

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: thinking like the two thousands, like I would have been

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: in primary school.

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: You didn't have big girl money exactly.

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: So I think like some of my friends who I

33
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: went to primary school with, like their parents took them

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: and I was beyond jealous. But I'm so excited She's

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: coming for the Lucky Me Tour and she's doing six

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: states across Australia and New Zealand October this year.

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: That's quick, Yeah.

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: I know, because I feel like, am I like, do

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: I not have a good gauge on this stuff?

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: It depends. It depends.

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Like if you think about Harry, those tickets went on

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: sale in early feb and he's coming in December, and

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: that Lady Gaga that was like April to December, so

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: it is kind of like that six to nine moth

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Plaid time.

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, I can get away.

47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: I'm stressed we need to start planning, Like what am

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: I going to do?

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: Oh? I just can't wait because I've been seeing all

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: of her.

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: She's been doing a couple of concerts in I think

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: like La and Yeah, and I've just had so much

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: FOMO because it looks so fun and she's just so cute.

54
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't know if she'll come

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: to Australia. One of the chicks dmd US the other

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: week and was like she's teased that there's a world

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: talk like coming blah blah like Gourgielins and I was like, chick. Yeah,

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: I was like I really hope so, but how can

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: we have Hillary Duff doing a tour but we haven't

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: had Sabrina Carpenter, I know, like make that make sense?

61
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: That'll be coming surely either her own tour.

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe headlining lane Way next year because they're gonna

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: have to back up they've done Charlie Chapel.

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: They need to complete the trinity of the Powerpuff Girls.

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like I don't want to have to go

66
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: to a whole festival just to see the one person

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: I want.

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: I would rather them do their own concerts. Like the

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: crowd at chapel.

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: You were saying was was in not again it was wild?

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild. I'm not built for that. That's okay.

72
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm thirty.

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like having a cup of tea and drinking

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: a rose with my cat.

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah that's me. That's okay. But yeah, that's my obsession.

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: What's yours.

77
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: My obsession is that I've finally ticked off a financial

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: bucket list goal of mine and I started investing, which

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, this is a little bit boring, but

80
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's not.

81
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: This is something that.

82
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: I feel like on the show, we've always talked about

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: wanting to get into more and learn a little bit

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: more about it. And yeah, I ended up using an

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: app that made the whole thing so easy, like so

86
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: easy to understand, because the one thing that was holding

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: me back from starting my investing journey sound like a

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: loser was that I was like, yeah, it can be intimidating.

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had no idea how to do it.

90
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: And anyway, it was such a simple process and I.

91
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: Really like the app because you.

92
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: Can literally just transfer money into the account on the app.

93
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: You can even use Apple Page just like put it

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: in there.

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: If there's any boundary to me doing anything like I

96
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: have to go get my card details or my bank details,

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: even if that's opening a separate app.

98
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's the fucking hard. Yeah. But I

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: was like, boom done, easy, be easy, boom bahlah boom.

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: And then I was like, cool. You know they have

101
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: et apps. They have the individual shares and you can.

102
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: See the history of a like share company and ETF.

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: This is lingo that is probably not new to the game.

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the underdog, all right, And yeah you can see

105
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 2: the history of and share an ETF for like one month,

106
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: five years, ten years.

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: So cool. I'm so excited. This is like my new hyperfixation.

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: I can't wait. We'll go today from the stock yacht coming.

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: Soon absolutely, and by that I mean in fifty years,

110
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I'll retire comfortably.

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 3: I'll have a dinghy y. I'd love a dingy. I'd

112
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: love a little dinghy just in the morning. But I'm

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: not going to do any rowing. That will be Rob's job.

114
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: All right.

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: Shall we get into the dilemmas?

116
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, diabolical dilemma, the one hundred dollars wedding

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: gift scandal.

118
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's always a wedding.

119
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: It's always a wedding, you know, Well, weddings are a

120
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: place of love and for friendships to fall apart.

121
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so true. Yeah, two sides and then in twenty years.

122
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: I just now that's janioush all right, girls, I need

123
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: to know if I'm the villain or.

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: If this is late stage capitalism.

125
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: My friend, let's call her Sophie, got married last month,

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: destination wedding. It was about three hours away, gorgeous vineyard

127
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: but very European summer. But make it bendigo obsessed. I

128
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: was a bridesmaid. I don't know why I had a testipop.

129
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: Then he's a bridesmad I was a bridesmaid. But let

130
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: me list what this wedding cost me. Three hundred dollars

131
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: on a bridesmaid's dress, plus one hundred dollars of alterations,

132
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars hens weekend, one hundred and

133
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: eighty dollars on the hen's activities, plus one hundred dollars

134
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: on decorations because apparently we're splitting everything evenly. Then six

135
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: hundred dollars on travel and transfers. Four hundred dollars on

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: two nights at the hotel. The bride chose one hundred

137
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars on hair and makeup in brackets Manda Tree,

138
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: and seventy five dollars on the uber home from the

139
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: Hens because I missed the last train. Why was there

140
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: a train involved anyway? Before I stepped into the ceremony,

141
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: I was down over two thousand dollars. Now here's where

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: it gets unhinged. The wedding registry mostly three hundred dollars

143
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: to eight hundred dollar items. It consisted of things like

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: Le crousette, smeg, toasters, dice, and vacuums, and there was

145
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: also a honeymoon fund option, but the suggested contribution started

146
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: at two hundred and fifty dollars. I decided I physically, spiritually,

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: and financially could not justify another three hundred dollars, So

148
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: I gave one hundred dollars cash in a card with

149
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: a very heartfelt note about love and lifelong friendship. Fast

150
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: forward three weeks and Sophie calls me. So, Sophie's the bride? Yeah,

151
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 2: if he's still with me? Three weeks after the wedding, Yes, okay,

152
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: she says, she was surprised by my gift a mount.

153
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: She says most guests gave around two hundred and fifty

154
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: dollars to five hundred dollars, and she says she knows

155
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: how much I earn and that it just feels a

156
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: bit tight considering Oh my god. She then says, I

157
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: spent so much on you being in the wedding too. Girls,

158
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: the wedding was black tie, one hundred and twenty guests,

159
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: champagne tower with a live sax player at eleven PM,

160
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: and now apparently my one hundred dollars is the reason

161
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: she's upset. I later find out she didn't just notice,

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: but she bitched about it to a bunch of other people.

163
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: And now the energy in the group chat is tense.

164
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: Two bridesmaids think I'm in the wrong because it's customary

165
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: to at least cover your plate, while one other friend

166
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: says the wedding industry is a pyramid.

167
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: Scheme and I've already paid my jube. Am I that friend.

168
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: Yes, our friendship has been really frosty ever since, with

169
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: very little replies, no memes, and I just don't know

170
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: what to do. I feel like I'm spiraling. Am I

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: cheap is being a bridesmaid? Basically the gift are we

172
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: in an economy where friendship is tiered by disposable income.

173
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: Is this about money or is this about pride? Because

174
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: part of me just wants to transfer her another one

175
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars to just end it, and part

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: of me wants to send her an invoice titled Emotional

177
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: and Financial Labor Rendered. So tell me, is one hundred

178
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: dollars a diabolical wedding gift? Or is expecting more after

179
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: a two thousand dollars wedding out late? The real villain

180
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: origin story that is so wild I can't believe she

181
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 2: called her. Also, can I just say you should go

182
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: into lack writing? Yeah, because I was really taken on

183
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: a journey there.

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was entranced.

185
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: I completely understand that it is customary to cover the

186
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: cost per head, right like I understand that that people

187
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: use that as a sort.

188
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: Of a baseline if they don't know how much.

189
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: However, the guest has no control over what that cost

190
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: per head is.

191
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: That's such a good point.

192
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: And also if the other option is to say, excuse me, bride,

193
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: well you're getting ready for your wedding, what's the cost

194
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: per head for the wedding?

195
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: They tell you it's three hundred dollars. It's not just

196
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: like no, but that's what I'm saying.

197
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: So what you reach out to them, confirm what that is,

198
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: and then if that's out of your budget, you say,

199
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll RSVP no and I won't comet.

200
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: But then, but then you get shipped for not going

201
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: because it's her special day.

202
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: It's her special days, it's her special day.

203
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're expected to be there and support. But

204
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: also then people get pissed because they're like, well, shit,

205
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: I need to cover the cost of this, and they

206
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: expect that the people who are attending are going to

207
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: be paying some of that back. I do think it's

208
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: so weird to get pissy about the amount of money

209
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: someone's put behind a present for you, and like the

210
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: reason the bride's going, well, I know how much you earn,

211
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: which one, you're not entitled to her paycheck. But two,

212
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: I think the other piece of the puzzle is like

213
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: she's forked out a lot of money already, yeah, in

214
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: terms of being a bridesmaid, And now if I could

215
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: afford it, there are definitely people in this world and

216
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: in this life that I would be more than happy

217
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: to fork out a pretty penny for you know, for

218
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: their wedding.

219
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: But if it was ever expected.

220
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: Of me, you're not getting a damn yeah, just out

221
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: a spy, Just out a spy. Like for you, how

222
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: much you want ten thousand dollars, You've got that Sally

223
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: one million, you can have the super yacht once my

224
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: share is Cashi exactly, you know, but.

225
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: Like to think you're entitled to more. I've like, when

226
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: I went to a wedding, I think I was eighteen, and.

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: I remember calling mom and I had no idea how

228
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 2: much to give? Yeah, And I was like how But

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: also I was like eighteen, yeah, and in an entry

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: level media job.

231
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: I don't even think I was no, I was at union.

232
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: I was nannying ye.

233
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: Like, but even if you have a full time job

234
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: and you're set up financially, it's not your duty to

235
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: pay off somebody's wedding exactly. That's your prerogative to set

236
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: the budget and whether or not you want a champagne

237
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: shower and those. Do you have an ROI sheet of

238
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: your fucking wedding with KPIs of every single attendee. It's

239
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: weird that it's like runners a business, yeah, exactly, When

240
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: like it's a party.

241
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: You're putting on a party. You want people to come.

242
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Also, even if you are pissed off about the amount

243
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: someone gave you, I just think it's so weird to

244
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: confront the person on it, being like.

245
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 3: Oh I would throw up. I would throw up.

246
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: Like if the audacity to go to someone and be like,

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: why didn't you give me more money?

248
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is like actually wild.

249
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: So I did a quick google then because I was like,

250
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: weddings are are they a pyramids?

251
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: It's a fair question. Are they the new what is

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 3: it MLM?

253
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

254
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yeah, so a new typerware party. Seriously, weddings is

255
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: a new taperware party.

256
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: So, according to Finder, the typical wedding guest in Australia

257
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: forks out a whopping two thousand, five hundred and ninety

258
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: three dollars to attend the wedding dress for the event,

259
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: buy the gift, and take part in pre wedding activities.

260
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: That is why that is not okay. Yeah, that is

261
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: not okay.

262
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: What happens if you have five weddings in a year,

263
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say.

264
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: That's over ten thousand dollars. I can't do. Master don't

265
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: quote that, Yeah, it's a lot of money. Let's just

266
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: say that. Yeah.

267
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: So the biggest expense is travel at an average cost

268
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: of one thousand and thirty eight dollars, followed by accommodation,

269
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: which is six hundred and.

270
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: Sixty five dollars.

271
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: So, according to this article from moneymag if you're asked

272
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: to contribute cash, as a rule of thumb, you should

273
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: contribute at least what you would pay for a three

274
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: course meal. I suggest a minimum of one hundred dollars

275
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: and usually around one fifty to two hundred per person,

276
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: more if you're close to the couple or wish to

277
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: be generous. But also, I don't get to pick what

278
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm having for dinner either, and.

279
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,479
Speaker 3: I like, I'm a vegetarian.

280
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: It all sucks as a vegetarian one my meal is

281
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: always worth a lot less than everybody else's.

282
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,119
Speaker 3: And also it's usually pretty shit.

283
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: Like whoa Okay, wedding gifts cost attendees are staggering two

284
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety five dollars on average.

285
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe what, maybe it's a good thing to

286
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: not have that many friends.

287
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: Nay money, that's like we were talking about last week,

288
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: Like you get priced out of your friendships. Yeah, if

289
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: it costs two point five thousand dollars to go to

290
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: a wedding, I don't need a free drink that much.

291
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: It's not a free drink at that point, is it.

292
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think totally up to you.

293
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: If you want to have like a beautiful, extravagant wedding

294
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: and you go all out and have you know, every

295
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: single thing that you've ever wanted on your wish to this,

296
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: that's amazing. But you do need to budget, Like you

297
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: need to budget your friends to pay you back for

298
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: the wedding that you chose to have. Like Rob and

299
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: I talk about like if you know the dream the

300
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: dream vibe of a wedding would be to go back

301
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: to this like really small town in Italy, right and

302
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: like one not engaged, two working on it. Three like again,

303
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: like that's a pasta thrown at a wall and see

304
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: if it sticks. Right, And there is no universe that

305
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: if anyone came to me and was like, look, I

306
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: just can't.

307
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: Make it work.

308
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: I can't get the time off work, I can't afford

309
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: it whatever, that I would be like you bitch. Yeah,

310
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: So it's like, yeah, you can do whatever you want

311
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: for your wedding, but you cannot control what other people

312
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: do exactly. So I don't think you're the asshole or

313
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: stingy or you're tight or whatever the question was.

314
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: And I think that in terms of would.

315
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: You respond because part of me has had a coffee

316
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: on an empty stomach and is feeling flirty, that I

317
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: would get a bank statement and calculate the entire cost

318
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: and be like, Hi, Sophie, yeah, I've actually contributed this

319
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: much to your day. I'm really sorry you felt like

320
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: that wasn't enough. How much more do you think I

321
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: should contribute? What do you think is a fair amount

322
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: for me to contribute further to the above cost? Yeah,

323
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: maybe she doesn't know benefit of the doubt. Yeah, maybe

324
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: Sophie the bride doesn't know how much things like the

325
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: hens cost because they're not always privy to some of those.

326
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: And there were a few other things, you know, like

327
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: the uber and the fake tan that is like you

328
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: kind of have to if you to pay for the

329
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: the dresses, the makeup, and that it depends so different.

330
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, bridesmaidser wouldn't it? Yeah, me neither, but I think

331
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: it really varies.

332
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's so wild. I think this is a

333
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: tale as old as time. But if you come from

334
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: it with that, with the receipts, essentially with how much

335
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: you have contributed, but also say, really, I just wanted

336
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: to be there for you on your special day. I

337
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: had an amazing time celebrating with you, and I would

338
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: hate for something like this to tarnish our friendship.

339
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. So a mix of logic and empathy, I think,

340
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 3: is how you can That's really us. Yeah.

341
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: Our next diabolical dilemma is it okay to have a

342
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: crush when you're in a relationship.

343
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Yikes, Okay, here we go. Please no names.

344
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: But I've recently moved into state for work and have

345
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: been with my current partner for seven years since I

346
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: was seventeen, so she's twenty four.

347
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so and also bibi.

348
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was like so ready to be married

349
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: and happy, et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, my partner is

350
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: still at home and I have the most diabolical crush

351
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: on one of my colleagues. I'm talking nervous butterflies. Think

352
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: he's hitting on me as well, and he's honestly so hot.

353
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: My partner has definitely cottoned on and I feel so horrible,

354
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 2: But I am genuinely just so in love with two

355
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: men right now for my life.

356
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: No, I know, Oh in love?

357
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I kind of want to dive into.

358
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 3: Are we in love or are we in lust?

359
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: Zay Melick yeh exactly, say Maleck twenty twenty six called daddycast.

360
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Okay, I think that in a relationship.

361
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: Do you think it's normal to have a crush?

362
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 3: Okay? I looked it up. Yeah, okay, So.

363
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 2: I looked it up and there is a study and

364
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: a report because you know, we love the science, yep,

365
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: and it says as many as seventy percent of people

366
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: experience crushes while being in a committed relationship.

367
00:18:58,480 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought so.

368
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: It made me like, not from a judgment point of

369
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: anyone else, but the idea of like Rob having a

370
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: crush on someone makes me want to throw up? Yeah?

371
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: How where ba what? I will say? One?

372
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: I think that stat shows that like if you ever

373
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 2: do you know, start a new job and you do

374
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: have a partner and you've been with that partner phrages,

375
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: and you start a new job and there is someone

376
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: at that job that you're like, huh.

377
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: That's okay?

378
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: At a mind at a man talking to this person

379
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: at a mind, looking at them for extended periods of

380
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: time and smelling their breath. That it's like, you're not

381
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: the devil, Like you're not evil for you know, maybe

382
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: having a little bit of a crush.

383
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, but it comes it's like how far are

384
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: we running with it? Exactly?

385
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: Is the point that it's like, yeah, if Jacob A

386
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: Lordie worked at our job, I'd be like, that is

387
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: one fun man wondering world, but I ain't gonna do

388
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: anything about it. Yeah.

389
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: I think that's the thing.

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: Like you can think that somebody is hot or think

391
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: somebody is attractive when you're in a relationship. I think

392
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: that is pretty normal.

393
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do? Not look at anyone exactly?

394
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: But the fact that she finished saying, but I genuinely

395
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: am just so in love with two men right now,

396
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: fuck my life.

397
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's hyperbole. I think that it

398
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 3: probably is.

399
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: Can I also say she has been in a seven

400
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: year relationship since she was seventeen, And that's not to

401
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: say that like everyone that has gone into a relationship

402
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: since they were really young, like doesn't have the space

403
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 2: to grow and exploreing whatever, Like you have been in

404
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: a relationship since you were fifteen, right, and you've never

405
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: felt that way. But it's like potentially it's that point

406
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: of what would she be twenty four that that's like

407
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: the quarter life crisis era of like, hmm, have you

408
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: sold your oats?

409
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: Have you experienced life to the fullest?

410
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 2: And is this the catalyst that is making you be like,

411
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: maybe I'm not ready to get married, Maybe I do

412
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: want to.

413
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: Explore some other things.

414
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that is what she thinks, but I

415
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: know that there were times when I was younger that

416
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: I thought I was ready for more of a commitment

417
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: than I was.

418
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: And I'm really glad that I didn't lock in.

419
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: Like I thought I was supposed to back then, because

420
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: I was able to then experience so many more things

421
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: that have made me who I am. And so if

422
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: you genuinely think you're in love with another person, I

423
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: think you know what to do. Yeah, But if it's

424
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: just a crush, then like maybe real it back, yeah,

425
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: because like the I think the flirting and that stuff

426
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: is where it starts getting a bit iffy. And she's

427
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 2: said that her boyfriend has picked up on it, and

428
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: now it made me, so sad, I wouldn't be legally

429
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: responsible for what I would do. No if I found

430
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: out that job was flown and had a crush with

431
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: someone I'm seeing, Yeah, literally damages. Yeah, I'm in lou

432
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: all of it. But yeah, I think you're in a

433
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: long distance relationship essentially now with your partner. Also makes

434
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: it ten times hard, So there's also that.

435
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: But this could be a blessing in disguise.

436
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: But also you probably need some attention as well, which

437
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that totally, but I think this could

438
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: be potentially a blessing in disguise. Because you've been with

439
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: your partner for seven years, since you were seventeen, this

440
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: can be like a good test period for the relationship

441
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: as to whether or not you do commit to something

442
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: like marriage. You know what I mean, because yeah, you

443
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: could be Is it that you're lonely?

444
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: Is it that you need attention?

445
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: Is it that you haven't seen your part friend in

446
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: your long time, or is it that the relationship has

447
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: gotten a little bit stale? And yes, you love this man,

448
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: but maybe you're not in love with him. I'm going

449
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: to be so real if my ex of six years

450
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: and the father of my child came out on a

451
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: podcast saying that he but he didn't know if he

452
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: was in love with me ever, and that he thinks

453
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: it was maybe more lust again suing for emotional damages.

454
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so what do we think she should do?

455
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: I think you really have to think of is it

456
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: the forbidden fruit? Is it like the ooh this is

457
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 2: sexy and flirty and fun and hot because one you're

458
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: not my boyfriend and two I can't have you, and like,

459
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: is that what it is? Or is it genuinely like, Wow,

460
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: this person makes me light up and have sparkly eyes,

461
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: and I feel like I've got this new invigorated sense

462
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: of life, and like, don't act on that, but figure

463
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: out whether or not it's one or the other.

464
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: Exactly what do you think? I agree? I think that's

465
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: one half of the puzzle.

466
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: And then the other half is to look at your

467
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: existing relationship and maybe take stock of how that makes

468
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: you feel. Maybe you need to take some space from

469
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: that relationship, because you also still get the benefit of

470
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: having a boyfriend who like potentially messages you every morning

471
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: being like love you, hope you have a good day,

472
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: and you get those nice things of having a boyfriend

473
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: and having someone you can rely on who's always there.

474
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: But then you also have like the hot guy at

475
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: work that you can flirt with and it's new and

476
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: it's fun. It's like you're having your cake and eating

477
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: it too. So I think if you look at your

478
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: existing relationship and think to yourself, am I getting my

479
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: needs genuinely met from this relationship even if I moved

480
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: back home?

481
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: Or was I just kind of comfortable?

482
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: Do you know? The thing I would do first before

483
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 2: any of that is probably pick a friend that you

484
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: just really really trust and that is like a good friend,

485
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 2: and like tell them how you feel because they might

486
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: be able they would know one more than we do,

487
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: but they would probably be able to give you a

488
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: little maybe a little bit more insight to the situation.

489
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: Then you can see because you've got you know, the

490
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: different colored glasses on.

491
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the moment that maybe your.

492
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: Friend could be like no, bitch, Jerry is the best,

493
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: like no, exactly blah blah blah, or like she's been

494
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: like no Simon from sales Sack like.

495
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, blah blah blah blah.

496
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like maybe you need to confide in a

497
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: friend with how you're feeling. That's like not going to

498
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: judge you or be a bit about it, being like,

499
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 2: that's really mean, Jessica.

500
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: Of people also get crushes.

501
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: Exactly, somebody who's going to tell you the truth. But yeah,

502
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: with empathy, Yeah again empathy. We listen and we don't judge. Yeah,

503
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: we listen and we don't judge.

504
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: Exactly. That was juicy. I love that way. Do we

505
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 3: have one more? Super quick? Okay?

506
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: Ready, a final diabolical dilemma, bestie, double standards. Oh shit,

507
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: I need some clarity because I genuinely don't know if

508
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm the villain here. Oh I was seeing locked in. Yeah,

509
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: I was seeing a guy in my small town and

510
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: we had slept together. A bit later, our friend group

511
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: went out for lunch, and he came up in conversation.

512
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: When my friend and I were alone, she told me

513
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: she'd also slept with him.

514
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 3: Her on the Friday, me on the Saturday.

515
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: Small town problem ship, small town problems, right. She said

516
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: he was weird, so I assumed that was the end

517
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: of it for her. Wait wait, wait, wait wait, So

518
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: the friend was the Friday and she was the Saturday.

519
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and then neither of them knew.

520
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: No, okay, And then now the friend has said that

521
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 2: he was weird, so she's like, okay, she's not that

522
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: into him.

523
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 3: Can the friend be Lola? Yeah, Cola, Lola? And then main.

524
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: Character Okay, got it, So Lola and Mandy Lola slept

525
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: with him. Lola slept with Jeff on the Friday, yep,

526
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: and then Mandy slept with Jeff on the Saturday.

527
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.

528
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 2: Four nights later from the lunch, I randomly checked my phone,

529
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: saw one eleven on the clock, very trust your intuition, energy,

530
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: and decided to look at find my friends.

531
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: I saw she was at his place. Lola. Yep, Lola,

532
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: is that Jeff's house?

533
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: I messaged a couple of my friends like oh my god,

534
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: and one of the message her asking where she was.

535
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: Lola replied his place with the.

536
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: Side eye emoji. The next day, I was flying out

537
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 2: for a festival on the same flight as Jeff. I

538
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: chose not to respond to him at all. That same day,

539
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: my friend messaged me asking if I was still talking

540
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: to him and said things weren't serious between them. I

541
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: told her I valued our friendship more than a guy

542
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: and left it at that.

543
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: At the festival, the guy and I bumped into.

544
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: Each other he found out that I knew he'd let

545
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: with my friend and swore he didn't know we were

546
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: friends and said she was the one who reached out

547
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: to him that night.

548
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 3: I we'll have Instagram these days. Literally, Sorry, I keep

549
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: interrupting you. No, one thing led to another.

550
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: Too many drinks later, I ended up sleeping with him

551
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: and again multiple times after that. So here's my question.

552
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: Does that make me a bad friend for doing the

553
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: same thing she did to me? Or is this just

554
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: messy small town dating with a side of double standards?

555
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: Mandy, Mandy, you dog, Mandy?

556
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, do you know what this reminds me of? Yeah,

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: it reminds me of like is it Season two Emily

558
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: in Paris when Emily and Camille Camie Camille both agreed

559
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 2: to stop pursuing Gabriel, so it makes Emily stop going

560
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: for him, but then Camille goes for him.

561
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

562
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: I know, I don't think anyone's doing that, but that's

563
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: what it reminded me of. But also that's potentially what

564
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: your friend might think that you're doing that.

565
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: What I was gonna say, you've gone back and being like, no,

566
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: I'm not interested, but they're fine.

567
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the friends texted you being like, are you

568
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: still talking to him? Yeah? And did like she didn't

569
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: mention in that whether she said yes or no, right,

570
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: she just said that their friendship mattered more. Yeah, she said,

571
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: asking if I was still talking to him and said

572
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: things weren't serious between them. I told her I valued

573
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: our friendship and then a guy, and like that insinuates.

574
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: Though I value our friendship that I'm not going to

575
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: pursue it.

576
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's how I would read it if I

577
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: was on the receiving end.

578
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

579
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then she her Lola has said that it's

580
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: not serious between them, but even.

581
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: There are a lot. Jeff is probably not that great.

582
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: A man is a man, There's so many, there's so many,

583
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: Jeff is not the love of your life. No, he's

584
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: going to tell you guys right now? Is Lola and Mandy?

585
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's your song.

586
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: If they're like best friends, fuck Jeff off. Yeah, Jeff

587
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: sucks one because he continued to pursue both of them

588
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: after knowing they were friends. So I don't believe that

589
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: he didn't know that they were friends. We have Instagram,

590
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: You're in a small town. It's very likely that he knew,

591
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: and even if he didn't after the fact, he did know,

592
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: But I think that if you haven't already, you've got.

593
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: To tell her said multiple times after as well, and

594
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: just be like, I fucked up. I know.

595
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: I said that I value our friendship more than a

596
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: guy and I do.

597
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 3: And these are the actions reflecting that. Yeah, and just

598
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: be like I'm so like, I'm sorry.

599
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: I regret what I did, and I know I said this,

600
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: and I know that potentially that's a double standard.

601
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: Or maybe I, you know, have gone back on my.

602
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: Word and just be honest about it, but I do

603
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: because after the brunch, did they like did she say

604
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: that they said that they weren't going to keep seeing

605
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: him and then she did go to his house or

606
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: did they just go like, oh, yeah, I slept with

607
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: him and she's like, yeah, I slept with him too,

608
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: And then Lola said he was weird, he was.

609
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: Weird, but that she just meant it was the end

610
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: of it. But that was it.

611
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: Like there was no like, oh shit, like I won't

612
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: sleep with him, then you won't sleep with him, Like

613
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: nothing was agreed. But maybe it's like an unwritten rule

614
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: of friendship that you would both hopefully.

615
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: Unless it's like literally don't have the same type. Yeah,

616
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: I know that would have been better, That would not be.

617
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: Good, but I don't think it would ever come to that.

618
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: But no, Yeah, I think you just have to be

619
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: honest with You've got to read the band aid off

620
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: and be like, I fucked deaf. Yeah, because she's asked.

621
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: Does this make me a bad friend for doing the

622
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: same thing?

623
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

624
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: But if you continued to do it and didn't tell

625
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,520
