14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: happening right now morning. I was thinking more of the

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: scene in like the Disney Hercules movies where the Titans

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: come up from on the ground and they go.

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: That is literally us.

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: He's like, guys, is that way?

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: And then do you know what I reckon?

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: You could take every single one of those titans in

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 1: Disney Hercules and you could appoint them to every single

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: one of your phases in the menstrual cycle.

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: And when you have your period you are dumb cyclops.

Speaker 2: of Zavig?

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: My life lesson of the week is that I saw

52
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: on TikTok that you're going to love, and I feel

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: like we need it in our saved folder to refer

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,360

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: ways to say.

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: I'm not coming. Okay, are we ready?

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: I fear I am not in a fit state to

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: be perceived. I've had a vision and it led not

59
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: to the outside world. I shan't rise today. The candle

60
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: within has grown dim.

61
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: I think you could even just ended it.

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: I shan't rise today, Yeah, and I think we need

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: to use I shan't a little bit more. I agree,

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400

00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,000

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: one of my faves, which is my bones creaketh and

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: my soul doth sigh.

Speaker 2: I must not attend. And if that doesn't encapsulate how

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: I feel.

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: It's some message about my thirtieth birthday in your going.

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,520

Speaker 1: not align for such merriment tonight.

00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,960

79
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640

00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: blouse and a hoop and really you're actually a good

117
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,200

Speaker 2: One with the sea. Yeah, you like a treasure or two?

119
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880

120
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: looking for a coin in the water.

121
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: Find a penny, pick it up? Is that not saying? After?

122
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Seriously, pirates have your say in the commentation.

123
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: Literally, let's get into the show. After the show, let's

124
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: talk romance, all right? So our why is romance so back?

125
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: Romance is so back?

126
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: So according to the Instagram account data, but make it

127
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: fashion searches for romance worldwide at.

128
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: A five year high. Wow, that's wild.

129
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: So that's twenty seven percent more popular in twenty twenty

130
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: six so far compared to.

131
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: The last five years on average.

132
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: But the searchers have been climbing steadily by eight percent

133
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: on average since twenty twenty one, so it's been on

134
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: the up.

135
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: And I was like why.

136
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a few different reasons, but I

137
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: was looking into some research around it, and apparently during

138
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: times of uncertainty, people often they go towards genres like

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: romance for that fantasy and escapism element, which surely we

140
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: can all relate to, right, And apparently sales of romance

141
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: It's fiction have soared in Australia and internationally in the

142
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: past five years as well. Data from Nielsen book Scan

143
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Australia shows that readers purchased three.

144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: Million romance novels in twenty twenty four. Wow. Yeah, that's wild.

145
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's surprising in the slidest though, Like

146
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: if you look at how popular BookTalk has become, especially,

147
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: but also if you look at the I swear every

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: week we get about three announcements that a book adaptation

149
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: is coming, whether it's in a TV show format or

150
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: a movie format.

151
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: The girlies want the yen. We want to yearn. I

152
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: want to yearn, I want smolder.

153
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: And I think we've earned that. We've earned to yearn literally.

154
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: And I also saw an article that was published by

155
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Maccuarie University and they said that this element of romance

156
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: providing comfort to people, but to women especially isn't anything

157
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: new and it's something that has been happening over time.

158
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: And I want to read out a quote from the professor.

159
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll link the article in the show notes, but she

160
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: was saying women still often have to carry the weight

161
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: of emotional labor and the majority of caregiving reading romance

162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: is time when you can focus on meeting your own

163
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: needs in your own space. It's regenerative in that way.

164
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, hell yeah, how fucking hell yeah.

165
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: And I think if we look at the first two

166
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: months of this year and the most popular releases that

167
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: have happened in twenty twenty six, they're all romance. I

168
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: think also, romance has quite often been noted to be

169
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: quite a frivolous and unimportant genre slash niche, and especially

170
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: more than five years ago, Like you wouldn't even really

171
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: see people talking about, you know, the romance books that

172
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: they read or like movies, and it was like it

173
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: was like a dumb girl hobby, right, Like it wasn't

174
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: really treated as passion and an actual hobby, whereas like

175
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: when you look at action movies or drama movies that

176
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: are about war and all of those stuff, they're looked

177
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: at with such an artistic lens that are deemed at

178
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: a higher intellectual level.

179
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff that was catered to men, I

180
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: would say.

181
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: Was more highbrow and treated as more cerebral, whereas women's

182
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: romance and passion and context like that was treated as

183
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: very emotional, whereas it's not actually true. Yeah, exactly, Like

184
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: so many of the popular releases that we've had this year,

185
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: like Bridgeton Season four, Heated Rivalry, Wuthering Heights, like they

186
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: are complex stories in a lot of cases, and yes,

187
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: there are horny scenes that are there for the sake

188
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: of titillating us as the viewer that was you use

189
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: that word on purpose?

190
00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: I did, I been Audiviel titilated. Job here is now

191
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: about the episode. But of course in today's episode is.

192
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: Spotted love honey, shit, shit, we are but one brain cell.

193
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: Romance.

194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, like, yes, there are horny scenes which are

195
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: probably purely there so that we can kick out faith.

196
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: I don't I don't agree with that either.

197
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: I think as well, women's pleasure under in the lens

198
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: of a male film is there, and it's artistic and

199
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: it's all of these things. However, you put that in

200
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: a female centered movie and it's then just entertainment, and

201
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: that's why it's so exciting. And I also think this

202
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: shift of romance being back in quote unquote has also

203
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: bled into the way that we you know, romanticize relationships,

204
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: but also life and life outside side of relationships. Yeah, exactly,

205
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: that romance isn't deemed just for being with another person,

206
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: and especially purely heterosexual relationships, like when we talk about

207
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: romance a lot of the time. Yeah, it's about romanticizing

208
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: our day to day lives and our time with ourselves.

209
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

210
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: And there was also that Vogue article. Yeah, is having

211
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: a boyfriend embarrassing? Now? Yeah?

212
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: Exactly.

213
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: I did want to read out a quote from that

214
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: article that said being partner doesn't affirm your womanhood anymore.

215
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: It is no longer considered an achievement, and if anything,

216
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: it's become more of a flex to pronounce yourself single.

217
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, our interest from romance has shifted from purely

218
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: being about relationships and couplings to something broader than that.

219
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: I think independence has become romanticized significantly. We've seen multiple

220
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: studies come out that single women are statistically happier because

221
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: they have more independence. That ability to make your own

222
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: choices financially, culturally, and just to your own values is

223
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: very romantic. To be in love with yourself so much

224
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: that you're okay being on your own and enjoy that.

225
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: It's not to say that you can't be with someone else,

226
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: you can't have lots of friends, but to love your

227
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: life independently. So much is just so beautiful and the

228
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: fact that that's there.

229
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

230
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: So I also wanted to talk about romance and also

231
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the rise of romance and whimsy. So whimsy has been

232
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: this word and whimsical and fun has just taken off.

233
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: Like my entire feed last year was like, how to

234
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: be more whimsy? Things I do that make my life

235
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: more whimsical, affordable, whimsical hobbies and.

236
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: What's eating it? So I'm going to be a whimsical

237
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: fairy dancing in the forest. Yeah, I'm cool.

238
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: You know. I think it's because of the rise of

239
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: AI and obviously our addictions to our phones and everything

240
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: existing in a digital space and feeling quite like just

241
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: clinical and stale percent and I also think that is

242
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: what ties into the rise of the messy girl. So

243
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: there was an article from Style Analytics that actually called

244
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: out a trend that will a trend forecast for this

245
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: year was that we will see the rise of like

246
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: anti AI, which is mess and imperfection.

247
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: Love that and like the.

248
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Romance behind that, because at the beginning of the year

249
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,119
Speaker 1: she said one of my most reacted to trend predictions

250
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: was the rise of imperfection in fashion and beauty as

251
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: a way of signaling that something is human made rather

252
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: than AI generated. And this has also now been reflected

253
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: on runways. So Prata sent models down the runway at

254
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: its men's wear show wearing visibly dirty.

255
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: And stained sleeves. Interesting uh huh.

256
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: Editor's runway coverage flagged an increase in crush cotton, crinkles

257
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: and deliberately unironed textures across men's fashion.

258
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: And then we're also.

259
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Just seeing this rise of like messy makeup, grunge, darkness,

260
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: and how that also ties into whimsy and how things

261
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: are less polished and more for the way things make

262
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: you feel rather than for the way things look, and

263
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: it's less about perfection.

264
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: And I do agree with you.

265
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: I think the rise of romanticizing your life and whimsy

266
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: feels like a natural retaliation because whimsy and romance and

267
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: blah blah blah is stuff that's so inherently pushed towards

268
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: more of a women right, and it's more owned in

269
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: that like feminine nature, And I think it's of natural

270
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: retaliation to basically the current climate that is more of

271
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: a man's world of you know, if you look at

272
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's fucking crazy, and there's war and

273
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: shit and economic crisis and horrible things in the new Yeah,

274
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: it's crazy, And I think this is this natural protection

275
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: to some of those things. Like some would argue and

276
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,479
Speaker 1: complain that romanticizing your life encourages unrealistic expectations and ignores challenges,

277
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: that you may get caught up in the fantasy and

278
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: end up disappointed. However, I kind of think, well, aren't

279
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: you disappointed anyway?

280
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me have fun.

281
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, couldn't you argue that we do live in

282
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: a society where we like the grass is always greener,

283
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: that in romanticizing your life, aren't you maybe appreciating your

284
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: grass a little bit more.

285
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're watering your grass.

286
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Rather than looking at someone else's grassy lawn. Yeah, but

287
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: you could say that about any philosophy or trend or

288
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: anything that if you do anything in an.

289
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: Extreme you have too much of a good thing.

290
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any downfall in focusing and romancing

291
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: your own life versus looking at others.

292
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: And wanting that more.

293
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, and being like, especially when we live in a

294
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: world where online and we watch influencers who have a

295
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: million designer handbags, and there's always a new product to have,

296
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: and there's always a new body trend or hair color.

297
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: Or whatever it is.

298
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: That maybe realigning where that focus is going is actually

299
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: the key to enjoying your life a little bit more.

300
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: And also like an interest in some of the things

301
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: that you may like that are an element of romanticizing

302
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: your life or your day to day, whether that is

303
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: like reading romance or reading fantasy or whatever, and adding

304
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of an element of escapism to your life.

305
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that you're ignoring the realities of life either,

306
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: Whereas I do think that people often think that, like

307
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: they'll look at somebody who.

308
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: It's say, you're living in a bubble exactly, Like.

309
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: You can still have an appreciation for these things and

310
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: also still acknowledge some of the awful things that are

311
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: happening in the world, be a realist exactly. I was

312
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: looking into more research as well about the rise of whimsy,

313
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: and according to m On the brain, embracing whimsy is

314
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: actually a pro level brain hack.

315
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: Where ahead of the curve by level leveling up. Let's go,

316
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: all right, so I've got a very long quote. So

317
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: when you take everything too seriously and you stop being playful,

318
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 3: your brain shifts and your brain's threat detector takes over

319
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 3: the prefrontal cortex, which is the part responsible for problem

320
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 3: solving and creativity, and it shuts down. So this is

321
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: why everything starts to feel heavier and more difficult. It's

322
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: actually biologically harder to focus and create. So yes, like

323
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: you do need to pay attention to important things in

324
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: the world, but by only doing that and not having

325
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: any whimsy, romance and play in your life, you actually

326
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 3: can't even deal with that information properly. Right, So this

327
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 3: is why the moment you bring whimsy back allows yourself

328
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: to play and the brain gets the signal for safety.

329
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: When you are having more fun with things, your.

330
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Brain releases b DNF, which is brain derived neurotropic factor,

331
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: which is basically fertilizer for your brain. It boosts neuroplasticity

332
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: and allows your brain to rewire faster, learn deeper, and

333
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: remember longer. Play also activates your dopamine system, and this

334
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: is the part that I found the most interesting, not

335
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: for achievement, but for curiosity, which is why it feels

336
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: so good to explore and be weird and whimsical.

337
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: Because your brain is rewarding you for being alive.

338
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: I love that, right, So being whimsical doesn't just make

339
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: you happier, it makes you better. Studies show that play

340
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: puts your brain in optimal performance zones, boosts creative and

341
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: lowess cortisol, but it also strengthens your immune system.

342
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: So yes, like it's it's positioned.

343
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Is this very like fun, floaty, flirty thing which like

344
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: slay Absolutely love that, But it's scientifically good for you

345
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: to embrace romance and whimsy in your everyday life.

346
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 2: It's just another.

347
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: Example of the patriarchy trying to keep us down, man.

348
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: Because it knows that it's good for us.

349
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: It's likely keep them stressed, keep them in this weird

350
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: little box that will like shut down a bunch of

351
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: the important functions they could rise against.

352
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: Damn the man, Miss Mulleins, use the man. Miss Mullins

353
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: is a man, Miss Mullets.

354
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I love that we can just enjoy some of these

355
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: things as they are, but also knowing the science behind

356
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: it as well. I love having those little things in

357
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: your pocket if like, somebody tries to give you like

358
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: a sassy comment about something fun that you like, and

359
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: be like, Actually, I also think sometimes we don't allow

360
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: ourselves the time to do those fun and silly things

361
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: that are just play and we don't make time for it.

362
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: And hopefully that information does help people and the chicks realize.

363
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: Like it's good for you.

364
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: It's good for you to play and read your silly

365
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: book like it makes you healthier and better at, you know,

366
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: your everyday life, better at making hard decisions and dealing

367
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: with stress and literally your body's health. So and I

368
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: noticed that as well, Like if I don't read or

369
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: do my little weird hobbies or just have fun, silly,

370
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: goofy girl moments, yeah, I feel that in like everyday

371
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: life when I do need to be serious or when

372
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: I do need to take on important information, and you

373
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: can see that deficit. And I'm like, I read some smart.

374
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: Literally the trick, got a busy week at work, read

375
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: some portant.

376
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: No.

377
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: I love that.

378
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: And you did touch on this when you were talking

379
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: about Whimsy. But romance isn't just dominating, Yeah, what we

380
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: read and what we watch, but also what we're wearing

381
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: and in fashion. And I think, yeah, like you were saying,

382
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: definitely this focus on AI and digital spaces, but also

383
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, in the last few years we had seen

384
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: things like the clean girl or quiet luxury trade wife, tradwife,

385
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: preppy culture, and some of those more like conservative pencil

386
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: skirts are apparently coming back. Put that back where it

387
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: came from. Also helped me.

388
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: Bomb bomb bombs will help me, so help me.

389
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no no no no no

390
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: no no no no, no corporate casual in the club.

391
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: According to l the pencil skirt is this year's sheakest

392
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: revival trend. That's all right, that's why we don't have

393
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: to jump on every trend. Yeah, exactly, we have free will.

394
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: So it makes sense though that in the you know,

395
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: last five to ten years, we've seen some of those

396
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: trends really dominate it. But then as the pendulum swings,

397
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: we want to reject some of those things, and that's

398
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: why we are embracing things in fashion that do feel

399
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: more romantic and whimsical, which I do think that we

400
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 1: do aligned to more naturally anyway, which I do love.

401
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you want to wear a pencil skirt,

402
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: by the way, that's your PROTI of course, no tin,

403
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: no shade, but just be warned it will take you

404
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: about double the time to get anywhere because you can't

405
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: take long strides in those things.

406
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: You can't take long strides anyway.

407
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Your five foot exactly another thing I learned this way.

408
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 2: No, anyway, we won't dive into that.

409
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: But in the Pinterest Predicts report that was released at

410
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: the end of last year, there were a couple of

411
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: romantic esthetics included which I wanted to highlight.

412
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: So one of them was lace, arguably.

413
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: The most romantic fabric of all time, truly, like and

414
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm here for it.

415
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: Love lace.

416
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: So populouses include lace. Nails were up two hundred and

417
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: fifty percent. Yeah, I think it's like lace prints on nails.

418
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Lace belt up fifty five percent, lace bandana up one

419
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty percent.

420
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: Lace doily doily. A doily is like you.

421
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Know what your grandma's house or you're known in his

422
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: house in instance, and it's kind of like, yeah, a napkin,

423
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: but often they would be under like a pop plant.

424
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: But I've seen a mat yeah yeah, and it's like

425
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: a beautiful lacy material. But I've seen a lot of

426
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: people actually up cycling doileys and making them into like

427
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: skirts and stuff.

428
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: They're actually really really cute.

429
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Well, that Kma lace skirt went like viral, and that

430
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: was essentially a massive doily and lace makeup up one

431
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent.

432
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: Salt you doily. It was such a doily. Oh my god,

433
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: I want other day with this guy massive doily. Sorry

434
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: having been a doily day. Oh my god. Miss Malins,

435
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: she's a Missiles is a doily.

436
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: But also as well as lace, dark romance, it's esthetics

437
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: also on the right, which we love because it's kind

438
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: of giving, like white versus black.

439
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: Swan's sexy.

440
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: But searchers for vampire haircut are up forty percent. I

441
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: don't really know what that is, but I mean, I

442
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: feel like we should search it.

443
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: The odds. I'm imagining a micro bang. Vampire haircuts are

444

Speaker 1: Wow, are we gonna have coffin shape nails by the

458
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: end of the year. I've been rocking the armand for

459
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: a while. Okay, So to wrap up the episode, we

460
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: want to do a quick fire cheat sheet of how

461
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: to add more romance in your life. I have five

462
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: recommendations for what to watch.

463
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

464
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: Number one is Everything I Know About Love. That show

465
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: wrecked me and enabled me underrated. I don't about it,

466
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso Yep.

467
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: About Time cried so much. I was nearly sick, but

468
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: I loved every second of it.

469
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Eternal Sunshine of a spelllest mind, my God, had sex

470
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: and the City. And the reason why I selected these

471
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: is because these are the movies that make.

472
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: You fall back in love with your life.

473
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: They're not necessary romantic movies about relationships and about love,

474
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: but they're movies that make you literally love the feeling

475
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: of like a cool wind on your face in the morning,

476
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: or like the first nip of your morning coffee. I'm

477
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: really hot right now and the thought of a cool

478
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: wind on my face.

479
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about.

480
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: It the other day, and we really want April long

481
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: weekend weather where.

482
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: It's like that little bit cool. That's maybe my favorite

483
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: long weekend of the whole year.

484
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 1: Well, I don't concur it's so pretty good word, but anyway,

485
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: these movies and shows really make you realize the beauty

486
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: that is and the fun that's in everyday life and

487
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: how to appreciate it. I've always said, I love something

488
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: that makes me realize that a three pm marketing email

489
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: is not that important, yeah, and that life does not

490
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: revolve around that. And that's where I do think we're

491
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: seeing as well that we probably could do even more

492
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: into it. But how more people aren't working corporate work

493
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: loads and they're not doing nine to five and quite

494
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: quitting quiet quitting, and they're freelancing. And there's people that

495
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: are quitting their jobs as lawyers to just go work

496
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: as a barista because they're like, do you know what,

497
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: I just need enough money to live?

498
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole Like, you work to live, not live

499
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: to work. What about you? What are some ways to

500
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: add romance in your life?

501
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to add some more on the what to

502
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: watch list. Obviously practical Magic. Oh now, and then very important.

503
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: I've never seen that.

504
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: You would love it because the entire movie is about

505
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: female friendship and the importance of female friendship, but it

506
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: also speeches Yeah, yeah, I do my feelings. Yeah, I'd

507
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: give you my daughter if I died. I don't even

508
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: want kids, but that's okay. It would be very like

509
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: saving Helen.

510
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: Love that movie too, The Secret Garden, Sally. That one's sad.

511
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: Okay, eternals blah blah, spotless wine.

Speaker 2: You're sick, You're sick. You actually so magical. That is

517
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: actually fucking crazy.

518
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Right now.

519
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: That movie is so fucking sad. It's so beautiful though,

520
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: and that's happy ending, does it? Yeah? She remembered that

521
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: because I threw up from crying.

Speaker 1: was like hyperventilating crying that.

529
