1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Cookie alps. What's going on?

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: You haven't mentioned my new headphones?

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is going on? What? Let me hang on?

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Let me put on my specs because I I just

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: realized you don't have the big buffers over there? What

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: are they? They look like you look like you're a uh,

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: one of those people who take orders at a fast

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: food outlet. I was just thinking, how do I say this?

9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna no, they look kind of fancy though. What

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: are they?

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: They're just little ones that will go over your ears.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: They're just hear. But it's weird because I'm used to

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: having the noise canceling ones. So there's this whole sensory

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: circus going on inside my head right now.

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: See I might do better with those. I might do

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: better with those. What so just describe to people. So

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: normally Tiff wears the big buff headphones, as do I sometimes,

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: but really.

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: Quite comfort ones that muff over both of your ears,

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: that's the usual get up. I bought these ones because

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: I liked the idea of well, I was thinking about

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 2: playing with the virtual background, which normally annoys me because

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: the gaps in between your head and the headphones cut.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: The picture cuts in and out. Just like your hand

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: is right now as you move the microphone that can't

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: be seen. You know, it's weird. So I thought I'd

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: get these and just have a crack and also, all right,

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: they just look better, but also they're just so they're

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: buds that hook over my ear because I wanted the

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: wire is everyone's still here with us listening. I wanted

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: the wire to not be hanging in the front of

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: my face. And so the ears it has to hook

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: over your ear and then the wire has to come

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: out of the back bit of the hook, not the front,

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: not the bar.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: What make they? A'm googling and this is terrible podcasting?

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: That fuck? What's new? They were?

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: What are they? A Ventry Resolve? They're really they just

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: bought them. They're really cheap ones. They like thirty spell,

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: a Vanry A the A n t r ee Resolve

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: open ear earphones, a.

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Van Try Resolve open ear wired open earbuds. Is that then,

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: oh that's the ones twenty six bucks.

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they just sit and they don't block

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 2: your ears. So like the bone conducting ones that you've

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: seen me wear at the gym and told me I

47
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: looked like the call taker.

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: These me a pair, and I'll just give you the

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: cash because I'm shit at buying things online. Sure, sure

50
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: you can even put a bit of markup on it?

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: What did you you can go? Ah? That was thirty five?

52
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: What can I say?

53
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: Plus postage in handling.

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: If anyone else wants a pair, just email TIFFs, She'll

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: get them.

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Can I tell you a funny story about them getting delivered?

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: So I got them delivered and I went downstairs and

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: there were two parcels from and I ripped them open.

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: And last week i'd been looking up someone was talking

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: about the book by Robin Sharma. I think as this meditation,

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: this Buddhist monk book. Anyway, I'd looked it up, I'd

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: googled it. And I ripped open the package and the

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: book has arrived, and I'm like, oh, oh, I must

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: have ordered it. I can't remember ordering the book. I

65
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: must have orded a book because I googled him last week.

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: And then this morning, as I was leaving the apartment block,

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: there's a big sign on the window and I was like,

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: what was I saying? It's got says warning. The picture

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: of two parcels is like people are coming down the

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: driveway and stealing our parcels. My Amazon parcel got stolen,

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: and then I rushed upstairs and looked at the package

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: that I hadn't read and it wasn't my book.

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: You fucking thief. So you're the.

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: Can you believe that it's a book that I? And

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: I was like just assumed I'd bought it. So I

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: had to write a little love letter and say, hey,

77
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Apartment six, sorry I accidentally flogged your book, but here's

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: a bird story.

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. So have you connected with them? Have you spoken

80
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: to them?

81
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: No, it's currently this was just this morning, and it's

82
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: when I got home just before. It's still leaning against

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: her door, or so she'll she'll come home.

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: And what are the chances that you and her would

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: order the same book?

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't order the book, but because I've been

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: having a bit of a field day on online shopping lately,

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: because when you're in the dumps, what else do you do?

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: There's been stuff just rocking up left, right and center.

90
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: What's the biggest bullshit you've ever bought? I've never bought

91
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: anything online, which is partly because I'm old. Actually that's

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the whole reason. Actually, that's all of it. I was

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: trying to think of another reason. I'm old, what's the

94
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: dumbest shit? It's probably something you bought with Patrick. Was

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: it that.

96
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Sonic toothbrush? But here's another one of sitting right here.

97
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: But I've only got part of it. I was looking

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: at the heated gloves you can buy. I'm like, I

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: get some of these, and.

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Are you talking about for your motorbike or just general

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: getting about.

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: Originally I was looking for the motorbike, but then I

103
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: saw it could get thin ones right, so the us

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: B charged and then your hands stay warm. I thought

105
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: these would be great in the gym, and then I

106
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: found some for like thirty bucks. I thought, this is great,

107
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: there's a way cheap bucuse that one's one hundred bucks.

108
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: They rock up and they're just fingerless knitted gloves. And

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: if you look here that I'll describe to the audience.

110
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: There's just two and they have to be plugged into work,

111
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: so they're not USB chargeable. They just charge when you're

112
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: at your computer. And there's just this square thing that

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: sit that you stick velkrows to the inside of this

114
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: stupid knitted glove. And I was like, I totally got jibbed.

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: That is not what you portrayed this product to be online.

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: You totally did get jibbed. Okay, So what's the best

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: thing you've ever like, you know, where some and underpromises

118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: and over deliver and you unwrapped it and you went, fuck,

119
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: this is awesome, or maybe it just met your expectations.

120
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: By the way, how often do you buy something online?

121
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: I just go through little stages, you know. Sometimes I'm

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 2: just laying in better in the morning and next minute

123
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Facebook churns out a bit of rubbish. You're like, oh,

124
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: what's that. I've bought a lot of pit toys like

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: that little cat, little cat doos? Did you see your

126
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: cat having so much fun? And you're like, oh that,

127
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: look at all that fun. Love that. So she gets

128
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: a lot of toys like that.

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: You could give bear an empty milk cart and then

130
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: she'd have a great time for two days.

131
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: She normally loves the box that things come in more

132
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: than the toys.

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly like a two year old. Yeah all right,

134
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: you still, we've got to get on with our show

135
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: because I actually have a topic but or something I

136
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: want to discuss. What's the best thing that you've got

137
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: online that didn't disappoint?

138
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: Well? I don't know.

139
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Really, Well, they've got they've got to be up. There

140
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: is a good sound those headphones.

141
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: Well, well it's weird because I can hear my voice now,

142
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: whereas before I'm used. I'm just used to it, so

143
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: they're good. But I'm just used to the noise canceling

144
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: headphones covering your whole ear. So now I can hear

145
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: my voice not just feeding back through the headphones, but

146
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 2: also leaking into my normal ear. It's weird.

147
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: So you can hear yourself both through your ears like

148
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: just normally in the room noise, and also through the

149
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: actual headphones themselves.

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it always throws me. It's a bit like

151
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: when you get microphone to speak and I'm used to,

152
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: like I said to you at events, and I'm used

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: to hearing through the headphones my voice, and then all

154
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden, You've got to gauge how loud is this?

155
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 2: Am I? Is the microphone working? Am I too loud?

156
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm resistant headphones because I did

157
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: radio for twenty years with headphones, and then as soon

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: as I realized I could do podcasts without them, disbanding them. Hey, so,

159
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: how by the way, why do you look so good today, Like,

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: have you had a date or something this morning?

161
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Thanks? No, Actually, I've just got a normal item of

162
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: clothing on. It's not a muscletop or a gym top.

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: That's the difference.

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: No, that's not true, because you have faces all different.

165
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: You look like you've been made up.

166
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: No, same as the same as normal, but none. Eight

167
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: blue eyeline and our same true story.

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Thanks you look maybe it's because you don't have your

169
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: doubts and your biceps hanging out like a.

170
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: Dude and my big headphones.

171
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I what month is your birthday?

172
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: It's May? May, the first May day, May Day? Here

173
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: she comes.

174
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: That's right, So you turned forty one just last May, right,

175
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. Yeah, okay, So here's what

176
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, and this is our stepping

177
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: off point for our conversation today. You are statistic forty one.

178
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: So May is the fifth month, eleventh. So in November,

179
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: let's be more accurate. In November, you are going to

180
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: be statistically at the halfway mark of your life. Statistically,

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: because the average AUSSI female lives to eighty three now,

182
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: and we know that also statistically, the last five to

183
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: ten years might be shited do you think about where

184
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: you are ever in the context of your life span?

185
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: The reason for this is actually, I'll shut up. Do

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: you think about that?

187
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Maybe not as a linear what percentage of the way through?

188
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: Am I? I remember looking at one of those calendars

189
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: once before where you put the dots with dots on

190
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: each day and it's got what I can't remember what

191
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: that's called. Is that a stoic calendar? Not sure I

192
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: feel like something to do with stoicism, but I but

193
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: I do think about life and progress and where I'm at,

194
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 2: maybe kind of with my goals and financially and lifestyle,

195
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: and do what is this? Is this version of life?

196
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: The version of life that I want when I'm fifty

197
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: or when I'm sixty and beyond. I think of all that,

198
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: probably overthink of all that, really.

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: So I had a conversation the other day with a lady.

200
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Her name's Lil sorry, Lil litl sixty four? Also sorry.

201
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: Sorry she's sixty four or sorry, no, I'm sorry.

202
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll well too late, too late now,

203
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll mind. But I've known her for

204
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: a long time. I've known her for maybe thirty years.

205
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: She used to be a client back in the days

206
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: when I was training people, and then she went and

207
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: got qualified as a trainer herself, then started to train

208
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: and pad or still trains people. Does a great job,

209
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: got a great business, all that, But there's some stuff

210
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: that she, like all of us, me me included, she

211
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: needs to address and change. And you know, she's been

212
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: back and forwards with stuff and making decisions and doing

213
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: stuff then undoing it and making them and unmaking them,

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: and anyway, we're talking about this whole kind of you know,

215
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: like when do we get really fucking serious about that thing?

216
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: And do we ever get really serious? And like what

217
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: has to happen for us to make a decision that

218
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: we don't unmake, you know? And why do we simultaneously

219
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: know that we shouldn't do that thing because it's bad

220
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: for our health, our mind, our lifestyle, our sleep or whatever.

221
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: But we do it. We consciously choose to do that.

222
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about you who's fit, lean, strong, and

223
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: it's a bit of chocolate. I'm talking about people who,

224
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, like, for a range of reasons, kind of

225
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: do stuff which is quite detrimental to their physical, mental,

226
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: and emotional health. No judgment in here, just curiosity. And

227
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: what was interesting was we're talking about this and like

228
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: I said, sixty four so statistically, she's got nineteen years

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: to go. Now. I know this sounds morbid, but I

230
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: think sometimes this is going to sound maybe even counterintuitive,

231
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: but I think sometimes the way to get the most

232
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: out of life is to think about death. In that,

233
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: I said, and I got out the salt shakers and

234
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: the sugar which were on the table. We're at the Hamptons,

235
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: we're chatting, doing a coaching session, and so I put

236
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: one salt shaker and I went, this was when you

237
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: were born. This is and then you know, kind of

238
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: quite a way across the table, this is where we

239
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: are now, and then not far from there, where she's

240
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: going to be. And when you look at it as

241
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: a line and you go, here's sixty four years and

242
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: here's the nineteen years you've got left. And she went

243
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: and because there was almost well not almost, because there

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: was this like visual representation, it really fucked with her

245
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: head a little bit. Well that's really depressing, I go, Well, not,

246
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: I go, it just is what it is. I said.

247
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Even if I'm let's say I'm normal, I'm typical, who

248
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: knows I could live longer or shorter. I'm not sure.

249
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: But if I am typical, I'm seventy five percent through

250
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: my life, because for dudes, it's about eighty and I'm sixty.

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: So that's not being morbid, that's not being negative or pessimistic,

252
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: that's just going in fact, if anything, it makes me

253
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: want to do more, think better, create better. How do

254
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: I optimize me if I've only got twenty years left,

255
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: which I hope I have more, But if I've only

256
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: got twenty years, how do I make those fucking great?

257
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: You know? And I think the having a kind of

258
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: an awareness of your mortality without being morbid, you know,

259
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: without being sad or negative. You know, I think it

260
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: can actually help us embrace the now and the living,

261
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, like we're every single one of us, every

262
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: day is getting older. You know. It's like I Googled

263
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: this morning. I'm not googled. I just before I chat

264
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: GPT because I couldn't be bothered doing the numbers, including

265
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: leap years and shit. And from when I was born

266
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: my date of birth until today is twenty two thousand,

267
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: two hundred days today like twenty two thousand, two hundred.

268
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: So if we figure that out, as like, well, that's

269
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: three quarters of my journey. Then I've got maybe seven

270
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: thousand and a bit more days, right, and you go,

271
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: oh fuck. Then all of a sudden, you're like, because

272
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like that many. You know, it's a few,

273
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: but you know, and I just think that having that

274
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: context out, you know, thinking about health span, thinking about lifespan,

275
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: thinking about what I might do whatever age I am at,

276
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: whether I'm forty one like you, or sixty like me,

277
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: or sixty four like lil like, between now and when

278
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: I leave this mortal coil, as Mary Harper calls it,

279
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: when I go home to the big fella, As Mary says,

280
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is a home or a

281
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: big fellow, but let's just cross our fingers, our etherorial fingers,

282
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: and like, what what can I do to make the

283
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: next whatever it is, five ten, twenty thirty forty years

284
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: better than it might have been if I just continue

285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: on my current trajectory? You know, do you ever think

286
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: about all that stuff?

287
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: Oh? Heaps? And you know what, even lately I've been

288
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: very reflective on right, because also understanding what our values

289
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: are and what relationship we have with our circumstances is very,

290
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: very challenging and difficult moment to moment because it evolves,

291
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: but we hold on to what was once our current

292
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: way of thinking. So we learn something about ourselves, we

293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: learn how we understand something and relate to it, and

294
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: then we hold that and then we live life and

295
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: it evolves on us, sometimes without taking our conscious mind

296
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: with it. So this week especially, I've been thinking about

297
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: because you know, we talked last time about my body's

298
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: not responding to things, you know, like I'm having it.

299
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm having a lot of physical, mental, and emotional ebbs

300
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: and flows lately, and it's hard, and training is hard,

301
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: and I'm like, Okay, what do we need and to

302
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: step away from the intensity of boxing and training the

303
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: way I love to train that makes me feel better,

304
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: just to surrender to that and take up some yoga

305
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: for a while. I've had to actually also reflect on,

306
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: hang on, what's your attachment to these things and changing

307
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: it for now. It doesn't mean changing it forever, but

308
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: your resistance to it maybe means that you've you've come

309
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: back to an unhealthy attachment or an identity with it

310
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: and the way I identify.

311
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: Hmmm, wow, that's interesting. Yeah, I was thinking if my

312
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: life is a one foot ruler, I'm three inches from

313
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the end. Oh that's fucking scary, isn't it?

314
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: It is? And also the idea that that's that's kind

315
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: of best case scenario.

316
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

317
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: And also with every day that passes, the ability for life,

318
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: quality of life, yes, is statistically going to be lower.

319
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: So to make the assumptions that I'll just do all

320
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: this work and then I'll and then at this point

321
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: I'll go and live, bask and whatever. A book that

322
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: I love, I think I've mentioned it before, and it's

323
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: not exactly this topic, but it's philosophies are the same.

324
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: It's called Die with Zero, and it talks about money

325
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 2: and finances. Wow, it talks about how to live life,

326
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: creating memories not material things and understand it's actually I

327
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: think it's a really great book. And even on this

328
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: topic finances aside, I think it gets your mind relating

329
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: to life a little bit differently.

330
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: Hmmm. That is well, that is quite a philosophical and

331
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: almost spiritual kind of perspective to take, and I like it.

332
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Will you think about and I know with this as

333
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: old ground, but you know, we're all I won't say all,

334
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: but most of us listening to this event taught and

335
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: told and trained that success is about things. You know

336
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: that as you and I were talking about before, when

337
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: I was talking to you about the upcoming works of

338
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: workshops that I'm doing, we're talking about the background and that.

339
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: But like we're taught that success is about what you

340
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: have and what you earn and what you own, and

341
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, what you look like and where you live

342
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: and your money and you and how many people kind

343
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: of have ticked a lot of those boxes and in

344
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: the middle of it, and you experienced this last week

345
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: where you were just having a shit week and nothing

346
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: shit was going on. Yeah, and you know, I've lately

347
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: I've had a couple of not shit days. But I've

348
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: said to you and I don't you know, nothing not

349
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: depression or but just like, sometimes the way I feel

350
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: is not reflective of what's going on in my life

351
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: because for the most part, my life is somewhere between

352
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: good and fucking great, you know, but we're all human

353
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: and normal. And then you like, how many people do

354
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: we know as they go through their life and they

355
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: have in that backdrop of thinking that is successes And

356
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: I'll be successful when I'll be happy when I'll be

357
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: fulfilled when and then they get there, or they get

358
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: a version of there, or they get to the top

359
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: of the mountain, as we've spoken about a bit lately,

360
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, fuck, I'm on the wrong mountain.

361
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: It's over there.

362
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's having an awareness on a deeper meaning. And

363
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: I remember reflecting on a friend of mine as opposed

364
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: to mine. Is the way I am with savings and

365
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: money and financial security and her way and with polar opposites,

366
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: you know. But she has had experience after experience, and

367
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 2: she has traveled extensively and always has the means to

368
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: do that, but doesn't have the financial security. And part

369
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: of me envies that of her, but he is very

370
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: aware that I could do that. But something inside of

371
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: me that probably needs a whole lot of unpacking and

372
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: work just cannot allow me to to live. I have

373
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: this thing, and I think it's security, abandonment, loss. There's

374
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: some deep stuff that goes on inside me that probably

375
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: needs unpacking, gords to know where to start, but it

376
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: prevents me from surrendering to a way of life will

377
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: probably be more rewarding at times.

378
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: Wow, that is very brave of you to say that,

379
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: very very self aware. Like I think when there's a

380
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: thing that we think we maybe should do or could

381
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: do or might be a better version of our current existence,

382
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: and we don't do it, and we consciously don't do it,

383
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's because, yeah, that's surrendering. I love that,

384
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: but it's a fear thing. It's like, what's the fear.

385
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Fear is I guess that life will be worse, that

386
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: you'll be a kind of vulnerable. That's bad, you know,

387
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: and it is it's all well and good to talk about.

388
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: Like it's easy to talk about this stuff, isn't it. Vulnerability?

389
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, surrendering and like living your best life and

390
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, serving others and having a purpose bigger than

391
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: you and all of these things that we talk about

392
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: a lot. And I believe all of those things, and

393
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: I teach those things, and half the time I'm all

394
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: of it, and half the time I'm the opposite. You know.

395
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: It's like half the time I'm a fucking idiot, And

396
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know that this stuff is true, that

397
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: I can be so selfish in the moment or even

398
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe not unaware. I think I actually know,

399
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: but I've just you know, I'm just in avoidance or denial.

400
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a difference between understanding the concept, and

401
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: I think people who struggle with stings in any given

402
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 2: time throughout their life are the ones who understand it

403
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: and articulate it better. I know, I can articulate things

404
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 2: that I still feel like I forever grapple with and

405
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: I've made progress in some areas, but in the most

406
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: meaningful areas of my life, it's still an ever present challenge.

407
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: And you know, the inner critic wants to call that

408
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: being a fraud, but the reality is no leaps in bounds.

409
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: It's just self awareness, and it's everybody.

410
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think that we do things which in

411
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: the moment Maybe I'm answering the question in the question,

412
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: but anyway, why do we do things which kind of

413
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: make us feel great in the moment, but we know

414
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: that over the long term it's going to fuck us up,

415
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: or it has the potential to fuck us up. Like,

416
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: why do we have that right now mentality? Why are

417
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: we all about instant gratification? Why do we find it

418
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: so hard to go to be able to deny ourselves

419
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: something in the moment to create something better over the

420
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: long term?

421
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: I think we're driven by our chemical makeup. We're driven, right,

422
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: So we're driven for things. So where there's the thinking

423
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: us and then there's the beast of a body that

424
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: we live inside that has been given the means to

425
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: give us chemistry that creates behavior and outcome. And so

426
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 2: we can know like I know that that six minute

427
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: walk to that beautiful cookie shop I discovered last week

428
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: that I've been to four times since. I know that's

429
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: not the answer, but in the moment, that is the answer.

430
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if you were you could rationalize it,

431
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: you know the power of now, Well it's now, You've

432
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: got to be in the moment and here I am,

433
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: me and the cookie in the moment, you can all

434
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: get rooted. Like this is the dichotomy is because on

435
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: the one hand, we don't want to be living in

436
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: the past the future, but and we do want to

437
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: be in the present. But the reality is, you know,

438
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: we're going to have a lot a lot more present

439
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: moments moving forward, let's hope. I think it's it's trying

440
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: to get trying to get the balance. And also, you know,

441
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: for somebody like you who trains virtually every day and

442
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: who other than the chocolate and the cookies. You know,

443
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: your diet is very very strict, you know, like it's

444
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: it's not an issue for you. If you were morbidly

445
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: obese or unhealthy, or pre diabetic or diabetic or and

446
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: you were doing that, then that would be a problem.

447
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: But you ain't that. So I don't I think if

448
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: it did get to a point where it was a

449
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: real physical issue, a real health problem for you, I

450
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: can't see you continuing that behavior. No.

451
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: And that's that's just awareness and flexibility. And sometimes I'm

452
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: worse at it, and sometimes I'm really good and so

453
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: and it's taken me a lot of years to be

454
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 2: lenient on myself, and that's just because of the awareness

455
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: that doing something and then having a horrific inner narrative

456
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 2: about it is only creating more stress and angst in

457
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: my system. So it's the ability to just do something

458
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: and let it go and go, well, that's just information.

459
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: We're going to just observe that and be okay with it,

460
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: and we'll make decisions each time those moments come up,

461
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: and maybe one day the decisions will be different, but

462
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 2: each time I'll just be curious about it. Each time

463
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: the cookie will be a delicious moment in the middle

464
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 2: of that.

465
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, so many times I've worked with people over

466
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: the years who, you know, they did really well for

467
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: a period of time a week, two weeks, three weeks,

468
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: four weeks, five weeks, and then they had a let's

469
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: just call it a stumble or a fuck up. You know,

470
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: they went out and they ended up eating a pizza

471
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: or they had they were having a shit day. So

472
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: they ate four Tim Tams. And then because they opened

473
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: the pizza door or the Tim Tam door, then they go, ah,

474
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: now I've fucked it, I've fucked it. And then there's

475
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: this cascade of shitty behavior, you know, because they think

476
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: that they undid four weeks of good behavior with four

477
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: Tim Tams. And I always say, you know, the Tim

478
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: Tams ain't the problem. It's the emotional and psychological and

479
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: behavior reaction and your story after the for Tim Tams,

480
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, not great, but no one's dying from for

481
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: Tim tams, especially after four weeks of great behavior. But

482
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: it's like, maybe, you know, and this is something that

483
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: for me is important because I personally I'm a bit

484
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: all or nothing and we all know that. But I

485
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: would not recommend all or nothing for most people, you know,

486
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: it's it's like I've never drunk, I've never been high.

487
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't eat cake, I don't eat cookies, I don't

488
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: eat you know. But maybe, like I think I've got

489
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: it right for me, but I think for a lot

490
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: of people, my right would be there wrong, you know,

491
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: like for you for example.

492
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm all or nothing with some things but

493
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: not with others. Like I don't drink very often at all.

494
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: I drink less now simply because my sleep and my

495
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: performance in life is so important and it gets impacted.

496
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: But I also don't, for myself, believe that having a

497
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: drink every now and then is a problem. And some

498
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: people like to cut it out completely and go nat

499
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: never again, and I go, well, no, because there's also

500
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 2: for me, I think sometimes there's benefits. Sometimes I think, gee,

501
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: if my sleep wasn't packing it in lately, there's times

502
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: when I'll be like, gee, I wish I could just

503
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: have a glove wine and chill out, you know, for

504
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: one night this week or something, because I know that

505
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: the impact of having a glass of something and just

506
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: being able to let go a little bit and just relax.

507
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: There is that experience to that which I don't think

508
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: is we don't have to always frame that as being escapism,

509
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: which a lot of people who have overcome their own

510
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: relationship with alcohol would like to point to everyone and go, well,

511
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: that's escapism. It's like, well, no, that's not what my

512
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: relationship is with that.

513
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Yes, well that's exactly that. That's a significant factor. Be

514
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: it with food, be it with booze, you know, be

515
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: it with whatever, sex, gambling. It's like, how does that thing,

516
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: that variable impact your life, your health, your mindset. You know,

517
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: Like even something like exercise can be destructive if people

518
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: get to the point where it's all they fucking think

519
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: about and it's you know, they exercise five hours a

520
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: day despite all of these negative consequences. You know. I

521
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: think it's called athletic and nevosa, you know, where people

522
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: just lose their ship and that just becomes a new addiction. So,

523
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: like anything can be destructive. You know. It's like buying

524
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: shit online, as we were talking about. For some people

525
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: that's just a really intelligent, convenient option, and it means

526
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: they don't have to jump in the station wagon and

527
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: pack in two kids and go to the supermarket and

528
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: it's like, let's order that ship and just it arrives,

529
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, as long as Tiff doesn't get her hands

530
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: on it because she's stealing, don't. Yeah, you know, but

531
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: but it's that just that ability to be able to understand,

532
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, when and if like, you know, what's that

533
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Lady's name is Sarah gray Batch.

534
00:30:52,560 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: Great, Sarah Russbatch, Sarah sorry, Sarah, yeah, yeah, Sarah Ruspatch Yeah.

535
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: And she talks about that gray area drinking where it

536
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: really starts, not necessarily an alcoholic, but kind of heading

537
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: in the direction and where you've got to have enough

538
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: self awareness to be able to encourage I guess to recognize, well,

539
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'm not a falling down drunk, but

540
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: at the same time, this is not making my life

541
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: any better. Yeah, you know, I was going to say

542
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: about four months ago, maybe five months ago now. I

543
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: went up and I saw Ron and Mary, my mum

544
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: and dad for those who don't know, and we went

545
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: out for dinner. And Ron just turned eighty five, so

546
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: he was, you know, eighty four and a half in

547
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: a bit, and I was just I hadn't seen them

548
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: for a couple of months, and I was shocked. Don't

549
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: tell my dad this everyone. I was shocked how bad

550
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: he was walking and he's you know, like his balance

551
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: and his I'm like, oh god, it's like he got

552
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: two years older in two months. But what is amazing

553
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: as we're talking about hell span and lifespan and function

554
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: and quality of life and longevity. So that week I

555
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: committed to being able to try to not fix it

556
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: because I can't fix it, but to help him empower,

557
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: support and courage finance to fix it. So I got

558
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: the amazing Josh Whittaker shout out to Josh, who's an

559
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: exose physiologist who lives up near mom and dad. He's

560
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: working with dad once a week. We joined him up

561
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: to a gym. I'm going up on Saturdays and he's

562
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: going to the gym himself once a week now, so

563
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: three times a week, the now eighty five year old.

564
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: And what's fucking amazing is he is I mean, he's

565
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: still eighty five and he doesn't move like a teenager,

566
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: but he is so much better than he was six

567
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: months ago. Like he's stronger, his balance is better, he's walking,

568
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: his confidence, his gait, you know, his stride length, his

569
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: general stability, like everything is better. And you think he's

570
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: an eighty four and a half eighty five year old

571
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: now who's doing something that most people, even at fifty five,

572
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: are like, oh, I'm too old to go to the gym.

573
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's gone to the gym three days a

574
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: week and he's improving significantly, and not only is he

575
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: getting stronger and better balance, but also you know, the

576
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: quality of life is better. Like a month and a half,

577
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: two months ago, I got him a stick and he

578
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: was walking with a walking stick. He's not walking with

579
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: a stick anymore because he doesn't need it, like you know,

580
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: so I guess the that's none of that is a

581
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: surprise to you, tif but to our listeners, it's like,

582
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: your body is really fucking adaptable, and when even if

583
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: you think you're pass it and you might not make

584
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: the Olympic team, and you might not run a marathon

585
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: and you might not do twenty chinups, but anything is

586
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: better than nothing, you know.

587
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: And I think point out the things that aren't just

588
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: the physical work he's doing, but now he has two

589
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: people that come and connect and also the words that

590
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: you choose to use when you're speaking to him, Like

591
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm so mindful of listening to both myself and my

592
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: client's dialogue around how we talk about life and movement

593
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: and progress and everything. I'm very aware that that's the

594
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: stuff that gets embedded. There's your sixty minutes with him,

595
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: and then there's the words that embed themselves unbeknowns to him,

596
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 2: that linger in his mind. And also just that moment

597
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: of connection where there's two guys rocking up, playing a

598
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: part and giving him a bit of purpose and then

599
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: he starts to see progress. There's so much that's not

600
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: just stress.

601
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Oh yeah, I love that. Yeah, And

602
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: you know what, like my dad's language, I love language

603
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: is words of affirmation. So it's very easy to make

604
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: him feel loved. Yeah, because he is progressing and he

605
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: is doing a good job, and I am proud of him,

606
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: and you know, I do pump up his ties and

607
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: I tell him how strong he's getting, and I tell

608
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: him how much better he's moving. And it's a better

609
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: range of movement, and he's more skillful, and he's doing

610
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: all the movements, you know, way better than he wasn't like,

611
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: And so I don't even have to I don't have

612
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: to manufacture it or try I just need to literally report,

613
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: you know. And so there's yeah, you're right, sociological, psychological, emotional,

614
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: and physiological benefits and that and also we know that

615
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: as you're alluding to, like spending time with a couple

616
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: of guys that you know, Josh and myself even though

617
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: i'm his son, Like spending time with people who care

618
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: about you and want the best for you. It's it's healing,

619
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Like it's literally boosts your immune system. It's literally good

620
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: for your brain chemistry. You know, on top of the

621
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: dopamine that you get and the cognitive benefits that you

622
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: get from lifting weights, there's also the oxytocin that your

623
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: body is producing when there's a bit of love going on.

624
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think that over time, you know, with

625
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: doctor Bill and reflecting on how I came to the

626
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: point where one day I just realized this is this

627
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: has actually got my progress has nothing to do with

628
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: what we talk about, and everything to do with the

629
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: role that he plays when he shows up regularly into

630
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: my world and the relationship we have and Holp, he

631
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: knows me. So it's not the work we do. And

632
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: I think my awareness on that at some point again

633
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 2: unconsciously transferred over into me realizing that was my role

634
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 2: with my clients is that I show up and it's

635
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: not one given session, it's who are they, who do

636
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: they need and how can I benefit them as well

637
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: as just whatever they're lead present at the time.

638
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: Can I tell you a secret, That's what I try

639
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: to be for you, and I've always tried that well,

640
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: I've always tried to be that for you, and so yeah,

641
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: I can help you technically and give you you know,

642
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: all that, but also for you to have I don't

643
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: mean this to sound weird. I've never said to this

644
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: to you even like I've never said this to you,

645
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: So this is a very public way to do it.

646
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: But I know that you've had a shit run with blokes,

647
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, and just to have a mail in your

648
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: life that actually just wants the best for you, that

649
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: doesn't want anything back, you know, just somebody who goes

650
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: somebody hopefully that I hope there's a bit of trust

651
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: and all that respect and all that, but that coming

652
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: from somebody that you respect, genuinely wants you to do well,

653
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: Like not not pretend, you know. I used to say

654
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: to my clients my trainers all the time, care like,

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: don't pretend to care, actually care, and if you don't

656
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: actually care, do not do this job because people know,

657
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: even if you say all the right things, if it's bullshit,

658
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: people know, right.

659
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I literally had the conversation with him before this

660
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: podcast that was my appointment that I came straight out of.

661
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: And I've talked about you being that literally I'm not

662
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 2: even just saying this. I was talking about how I

663
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: relate to men and experience them, and how few of

664
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 2: them are in the world where I will really lean

665
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 2: in to any level of intimacy. Not physical intimacy obviously,

666
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 2: but just vulnerability. And you were one of two people

667
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: I mentioned, and I said, and there's the people I love,

668
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 2: but there's there's this invisible wall and this awareness and

669
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 2: this guard that I will that I inherently can't drop.

670
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, thank you, Ah, pleasure, pleasure, I love.

671
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: I love being able to contribute in a small way.

672
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: But you know, it's somebody reached out to me about

673
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: a month ago. I can't say who, doesn't matter, but

674
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 1: you've trained, You've trained with this person at the gym.

675
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who it was, but you know who

676
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: it is a person who's come to the gym lately.

677
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: And I've helped this person a bit right. And I

678
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: saw them yesterday and I could tell they thinking, why

679
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: is he helping me? And I had to say. I

680
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: didn't have to, but I kind of I just said,

681
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: I want you to know that, like I'm helping you

682
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: because someone asks, someone that I know and care about asked,

683
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: and someone that I trust, and and so that's why.

684
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: And I said, I don't want anything, like I don't.

685
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: I really don't want anything. You don't need to tell

686
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: people that I'm helping you. You don't need to thank

687
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: me every time you don't, you know. And it's like,

688
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: and I don't always do that, and I'm not always

689
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: that for people, and you can't be everything for everyone,

690
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: but that you know that, and I guess even speaking

691
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: about it kind of negates it. I'm not. I'm which

692
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: is kind of silly, but I'm you know that whole

693
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: Like the Bible talks about when you give, don't let

694
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: your left hand know what your right hand's doing, like

695
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: when you can genuinely come from that place And I

696
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: don't always, but I try to where you're just like

697
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: caring about someone and loving someone and being being maybe

698
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 1: what that person needs, you know, you know, there's yeah,

699
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: there's a whole bunch of that going on at the moment.

700
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: And it's like when I because I can be a selfish,

701
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: self centered dick for a range of reasons, but I'm

702
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: always aware of or trying to be self aware in

703
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: that space and that being that because it's so it's

704
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: so easy in this self help, personal growth, health wellness

705
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: online you know, to be cheesy and bullshitty and say

706
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: all the stuff that is not actually when you pull

707
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: the curtain back, it's not true.

708
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last night at my Buddhist meditation class, the topic

709
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: and I'd missed the week before, so I didn't get

710
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 2: the first of the series. It was a series of

711
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: a topic, and the topic was understanding, So they were

712
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: unpacking love what and differentiating between attachment and that. They

713
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: talked about three types of love, but the one they

714
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 2: talked about last night was affectionate love. And just listening

715
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 2: to that and it's funny because as I was listening

716
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: and taking in the things that they were speaking of,

717
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: and there's this ability to love someone unconditionally like a

718
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: mother likes a child. But just what was funny for

719
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 2: me is going, what do I associate with love? Because

720
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 2: I've found it for years to say I love you

721
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: to people that I love or to let them know

722
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: that I love them felt so loaded, so loaded with

723
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: expectation and something that I that I didn't I wasn't

724
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: brave enough to say. And yeah, I think just listening

725
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 2: and going, oh like it's okay to when if I

726
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: say I love you to someone that I'm not putting

727
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: any expectation or want on them. There's and I think

728
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 2: that for me, this discomfort is around well people, if

729
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 2: you allow someone to be in your world and connect

730
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: with you on you lay yourself to be vulnerable, then

731
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: you don't have any boundaries and they get to take

732
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 2: from you or they get to You're allowed you, You're

733
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: saying yes to whatever they want. It's just weird. It

734
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: was just like going on stuff coming up. This is

735
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: not on the.

736
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: Other Do you remember the other I know maybe they

737
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it, but three kinds of love, affectionate love.

738
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: Do you know what the others are?

739
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: I think one was cherishing love, cherishing love. I can't

740
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: remember the descriptions. I remember affectionate love. And because it

741
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: wasn't really about how you like affection, it was just

742
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: it was about giving love just for love's sake and

743
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: not not because you want. And what was interesting is

744
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 2: because I think about people in relationships and how we

745
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 2: we most relationships have a version of attachment. We love

746
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 2: with the conditions of I love you, but you need

747
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 2: to behave like this because you know in relationships, especially

748
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: you know intimate relationships, as monogamous relationships, there are expectations

749
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 2: and kind of there are boundaries and rules spoken or unspoken.

750
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 2: And I was finding a lot coming up querying, well,

751
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 2: how do we navigate how do people navigate those relationships

752
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: if we just love unconditionally, Like, how do we how

753
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 2: do we love ourselves and then be okay with whatever?

754
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, goods, debt.

755
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to find that there's a scripture

756
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: that's always read out. Sorry, everyone's bore you with scriptures,

757
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: but it's a bit of my background. It's like it's

758
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: known as like the wedding passage in Corinthians. What is it?

759
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: It's like, yea love's patient. Love is kind. Love does

760
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 1: not envy or boast. Love is not erican or rude.

761
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: It does not insist on its own way. Love is

762
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: not irritable or is zemful. It does not rejoice, It

763
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. And it's like where

764
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: love lives, there is no fear and all this it

765
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: goes on. But it's like, yeah, that like love is

766
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: not a strategy, you know. Sometimes that's why love is

767
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: like loving is. It's it's vulnerable, like you you know.

768
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: I was listening to these two ladies talk on a podcast, right,

769
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: and they're talking about when you send a message to

770
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: someone and you put and it could be like just

771
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: like I often will put a kiss at the end

772
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: if I'm sending it to a mate, but it's like

773
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 1: or a heart, Like if I send Patrick messages because

774
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: we know each other well, I'll often put kiss, kiss

775
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: or heart or whatever. Right, When you send a message

776
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: to someone and you send two kisses and they send

777
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: a message back with no affection and you're like, oh,

778
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: or they send a heart and you think, fuck do

779
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: I have to send a heart back because I don't

780
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: know this person that well. Or you send the message

781
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: which might be semi business or something, and you just

782
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: put a heart at the end because that's your habit,

783
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, fuck, I just sent you

784
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: know that bloke from BHP. I'm doing a gig for

785
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: I just send him a red heart, old mate at

786
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: fucking head office, and I'm like, how do I undo

787
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: this red heart that I just said? This dude, it's

788
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: like these social kind of expectations or standards of with

789
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: texting and messaging in the fucking electronic form.

790
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, you don't know what people associate with that.

791
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 2: I'm the same. I put kisses and hearts on the

792
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 2: end of most messages and sometimes if I'm messaging some

793
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: bloke or a client, I'm like, oh, I got to

794
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 2: delete that. I'm like, oh, I don't want to send

795
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 2: them out because you don't know how they're going to

796
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 2: interpret it. Well, yeah, it flirty.

797
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: If i'm it's funny because if so my best mates,

798
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: so you know Vin from school, Greg from my churchy days,

799
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: the Crab of course, who I trained, like all of them,

800
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: all of my mates Patrick all heart They all get

801
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: hearts and kisses. The Crab though, the bloke whose life

802
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: I saved, the bloke I had my mouth on his

803
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: mouth for eleven minutes trying to fucking bring him back

804
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: from the dead. If I send him a heart, that'd

805
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 1: be it'd be all over. He wouldn't know what he'd

806
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: have a fucking aneurysm. He wouldn't know what to do.

807
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: I shouldn't joke about that. He wouldn't know what to do,

808
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: you know. It's like yeah, yeah, And it was funny

809
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: when I passed my final academic milestone for my PhD,

810
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: he taking he's taken. This one's sound interesting. I apologize,

811
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: But for the crab, this is a fucking major emotional breakthrough.

812
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: Like this is like, okay, this is big. Anyway, So

813
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: he came to the gym the day, you know, we're training.

814
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: That night I had my final review through the day.

815
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: I was really nervous. I was pretty sure I was

816
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: going to fail. Anyway, I got through. I got through,

817
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: I passed, and he's like, he came up and he

818
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: gave me a hug. I'm like, who are you, who's

819
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: hijacked my friend's body? Like he's never ever given me

820
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 1: a hug? And he goes, oh, I guess I better

821
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: hug you then, and he gave me a hug. I'm like,

822
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: and it's funny, like and it was clunky and awkward,

823
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: but I fucking loved that hug. That's probably the only

824
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: one I'm ever going to get, right.

825
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: I was just about to say that, just savor that moment.

826
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 1: That's the fucking unicorn, that's the four leaf clover of hugs.

827
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: That motherfucker is never happening again. So it's burned into

828
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: my my cells, never letting it go.

829
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: It's funny because he's such a gentle soul that I

830
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 2: wouldn't have picked him to be a non hugger. I

831
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: would have actually picked the opposit. I would have picked

832
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: him to be a real hugger. I think you tried

833
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 2: to trick me once when I didn't know, and you

834
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 2: will go give him a hug. He wants a hug

835
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 2: and the look, but what was the Oh.

836
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: God, yeah, I fuck off with your hugs. And you

837
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: know what else. He doesn't do compliments, compliments like has

838
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: he ever said to you you look great? I mean

839
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: you've met it a thousand times? No, No, he's never

840
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: ever Not that I need it.

841
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 2: Maybe I've never looked great, so that puts an effort

842
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: in next time.

843
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: He's funny, though, but he would think you look great.

844
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: He just won't tell you. It's like my dad. It's

845
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: been to the Ron Harper School of communication.

846
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 2: Well, it's not been that long since I started paying

847
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 2: attention to the fact that, hey, Tiff, people don't do

848
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: Like I said before, people don't know you love them

849
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: unless you tell them. All the people that you love

850
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: so deeply that you that are meaningful friends to you,

851
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: most of them don't know. And you're always so busy

852
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: that the amount of time you spend with them is

853
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 2: going to indicate that you need to tell people.

854
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know big Josh, who's been on the show

855
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: it was on recently. I don't know how much I

856
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: meant to say, but anyway, so he's been through a

857
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: reasonably incht I'll tell you off fair but I can't.

858
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: I can't without his permission. Share. But you know, so

859
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: a kind of a good thing, not a bad thing,

860
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: a good thing. And so I just sent him a

861
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: message before because I haven't spoken to him for a

862
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: few weeks, and like I love Josh, like Josh. If

863
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: you met Josh in his heyday, Josh is a or

864
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: was a you know, Australia's best body built one hundred

865
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: and forty kilo giant muscles on muscles on muscles. But

866
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: underneath all that, he's just a big baby that needs love,

867
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: you know, not in a pathetic way, it's just you know,

868
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: and him and I have a good relationship and I'm

869
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: like a bit of a big brother to him, and

870
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, every now and then I just send him

871
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: some love. I just go home, mate, thinking about you.

872
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: Hope you're great, hope you're healing up. I hope you're

873
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: not in too much pain, and love your lots. And

874
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: it's like three sentences and then he right, you know,

875
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: And I just think it's good that men men and

876
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: women too. But it can be a bit precarious when

877
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: I send that kind of a message to women, and

878
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be, but I understand it. But it's I think,

879
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: like I'm more comfortable than ever I have been in

880
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: my life with telling men that I love them and

881
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: not like love ya and punch them on the shoulder,

882
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: just go like the actual words, I love you, mate,

883
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: and I'm here and if you need anything, and I'm

884
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: not going away and I'm always going to be around

885
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: for you the end, you know, And then it doesn't

886
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: need to be some big fucking emotional saga. But you

887
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: can just say that, right and then if they reach

888
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: out or don't reach out, you've done what you can

889
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: do and you've said, you know, I'm here for you. Yeah.

890
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: For me, that's been very liberating. And I've always been

891
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: reasonably huggy, touchy, not touchy that sounds bad, but reasonably

892
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: comfortable hugging my friends. But yeah, going to that next

893
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: level where you actually say I love you, not love

894
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: your punch on the arm, which is very Australian bloke,

895
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: or love your mate, love your mate, you know all

896
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: that but semantics, I guess. But yeah, so well, the

897
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: bottom line is everyone go and hug someone, give them

898
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: some love. And however old you are or young, you

899
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: are back to our original discussion. Well I think the

900
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: original discussion was headphones.

901
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 2: Fuck.

902
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: We've come a long way, haven't we. We've gone the

903
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: full circle. I don't know. I really don't have any

904
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: more news for you, or any more instructions or wisdom.

905
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: Did I ever have any wisdom? If you want Tiff

906
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: to come and work with your team, she's available, she'svailable,

907
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: she's available for her speaking and coaching and workshops. And

908
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: if you've got an even bigger budget and so am I.

909
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: Ah sellah Kidney and you can have us both.

910
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: Chop half your leg all right, love you everyone. See

911
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: I didn't say I love you. I said love you

912
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 1: have a good day everyone.

913
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 2: Thanks Stiff, thanks Harms,
