<v Speaker 3>What I'd like, Yeah, oh my god, I'd like a

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 3>board like you know on live radio, how they have

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 3>boards with buttons and you can press.

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Like a soundboard. Yes, use with friends to prank call people,

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>so they'd be like a soundboard and it would be

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 2>all these you know, pre recorded but it's essentially like

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 2>there was a man, for example, where did this one

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>on our friends on our friend's dad, and it was

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>it was the soundboard was called like my neighbor stole

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>my newspaper, and it was all these perfect lines being

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>like being like, hey, it's your neighbor. And then the

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>person go like, yeah, what do you want, Dave, And

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>you'd be like you'd click a but it and go

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>why are you stealing my newspaper?

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 4>And we had this.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I had a conversation I remember with one of my

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>friends dads using the soundboard only and he went mentally

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 2>he was like, fuck you Dave, I didn't steal your paper,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>you idiot, like shut up, like and I was like,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, like I've created relationship. But yeah, soundboards

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>are great. That being said, I was like sixteen at

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the time, guys, so give me.

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>A break anyway. I just I wanted a few buttons

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 3>to press for the intro.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Of the pot. Yeah, mainly you my newspaper, Dave. Yeah, yeah,

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>any particular ones or you think you'd need.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 3>I like that DJ sound that I just did.

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Like like in a sitcom, like fake laughter every time

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you made it.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that I'd love that. Love fake laughter. I'd love

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 3>like a cash noise that'd be good, and like one.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I'd love one. We should do an episode one day

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>where I just have the board. I think that would

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 3>be really funny.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait, so there's no talking, that's just you pressing sound.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 3>No. No, we're having our usual pot and then you

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 3>might say something and then I might.

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Go, why don't you just do it with your I mean,

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>we can just put that in the edit when we

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 3>No, but it's what I feel. It needs to be live.

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 3>You need to hear me pressing the button, and everyone

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 3>in the room needs to hear it. At that exact time.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>That would be magical.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited. We'll see if we can make that work. Anyway, guys,

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I went out on the weekend for the first time

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>in a really, really long time, and I got to

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>tell you, like, as thirty one year old woman, it

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 3>was kind of scary. I'm not gonna lie. I'm very

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 3>used to my creature comforts now, you know, Like I

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 3>finished the night usually like on the couch, maybe I'm

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 3>watching something, I'm eating my food that I like, I'm

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 3>scrolling TikTok whatever. That's kind of my routine now. And

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I had this idea that going out would be like

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I think I had rose colored glasses

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 3>on of like all my memories of being eighteen and clubbing,

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 3>and I thought it was I just thought it was

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 3>going to be like that, and it was just so different.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>I think that, like the starters, my feet were hurting

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>by eight pm.

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Tell them what time dinner reservation was?

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god. So just for context, it was my

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>friend's hands. It was a three part day. We did lunch,

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 3>we did dinner, sorry, four part we did dinner, we

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 3>did pres and then we also went out clubbing and

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 3>so I did all of it. I did the whole day,

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.679
<v Speaker 3>went home and went home for like an hour and

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 3>a half just to change between lunch and pres But

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 3>our dinner reservation wasn't until I think it was eight

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 3>forty five pm. However, a lot of us didn't get

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 3>to the actual reservation until much later, after a few

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>of the girls had gone and set up and everything,

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>so we didn't get there until I think. We also

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>couldn't find a park because we didn't realize Bloody Vivid

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>was on, so there was really heinoused traffic and all

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 3>the parks were taken in the city, so we didn't

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>get to dinner until like nine thirty nine forty even,

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 3>which means that it was a very late dinner service.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I usually eat dinner at five pm, five pm, so

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 3>that was a late dinner for me. Mains came out

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 3>at I think it was maybe like eleven, maybe even later.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not telling us much about what it was

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 2>like to go out as a thirty one year old woman.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>You're just telling us what time.

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 3>You asked about the dinner reservation, So I'm wrapping that

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:21.599
<v Speaker 3>up anyway. So so firstly, I didn't know people ate

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 3>that late, did you. I had no idea people were

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 3>in the city eating food that late.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 2>I kind of knew that eating times for people was

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 2>just different.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Like, well, no, because I've been to You've been. I've

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 3>been to Europe, where like nine pm dinner reservation is normal,

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 3>but this restaurant was packed at like nine ten eleven still,

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>like every table was full. It was that was crazy

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 3>to me. Firstly, Secondly, I went when we went out afterwards,

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.919
<v Speaker 3>we got there, we actually had a table. However, again,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 3>because I moved my car, it took me ages to

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 3>actually get into the club. It was like one fifteen

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 3>at this point, Like that's was it one fifteen? Yet,

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 3>that's how late we got into the actual club, one

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 3>fifteen am. I used to go out and sometimes I

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>would be going home by two am, So like that

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>was a really crazy time for me to be arriving

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 3>at a club as a thirty one year old mother.

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Did that feel like the difference? So like back in

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the day, you used to be a bit of a

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>hood rat club rat, sure, right, and you'd walk up

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 2>to the doors and you'd just be this single, no

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>responsibility woman. I'm saying, how did that feel walking into

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 2>this environment? And knowing that probably most people they're doing

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>that are probably like the old you sort of like

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>you knows single no, but I'm more so like maybe

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.919
<v Speaker 2>like show two kids at home and responsibility in a

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>different mindset, like how did that like affect your ability

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>to relax, enjoy or you know, like were you thinking

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>about it or was it? Kind of like the.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Club we went to was actually a bit of an

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>older crowd and there are actually plenty of people who

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 3>were older than me, So that was surprising because I

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what to expect from that, and that I liked,

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 3>actually felt like right there. I wasn't like, I didn't

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 3>feel like the old d I felt like just a

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 3>normal person, so that was nice. It wasn't like we

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 3>went to, you know, a teeny bopper club where half

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 3>the people were underage, so that made me feel okay.

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 3>And then the music was good also because it was

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 3>obviously catering to the crowd who was there. However, we

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 3>got there so late that people were already piling out,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 3>like the club was emptying. It was like winding down.

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 3>People were leaving to go home for the night. So

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 3>that was like a bit a little bit sad, but

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 3>one thing that really shocked me. Okay, Harry Styles has

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 3>recently brought out this song. It's called DJs Don't Dance

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>no More, They Sit And I when I heard that song,

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, that's crazy, Like DJs can't be sitting

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 3>that's literally insane. The DJ was sitting the whole time

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 3>on a stool, scrolling TikTok the whole time.

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>How do you know? Like, how do you know?

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 3>She was right next to she was right next to

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 3>the booth, and we could see over her shoulder and

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 3>she was sitting down, not engaging with the audience, not

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 3>seeing if anyone was enjoying the music. Mind you, I

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 3>don't think anyone was actually really dancing, and she was

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 3>scrolling TikTok. And I was shocked that that song had

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 3>some truth to it, and I was like, this is insane.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Like when I used to go out clubbing, the DJ

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 3>was the mood setter. He was like, or she was

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 3>the reason that everyone in the club was having a

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 3>great time. You had to read the room like if

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>people aren't enjoying this song, switch it up. You got

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 3>to be ready to change that song straight away. If

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 3>you're fifteen seconds in and the dance for is clearing

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 3>you've put the wrong song on?

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Is it even DJing if you just press play and

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>sit there?

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's what I mean.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Like, I'm like, I can do that.

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>This is a really imperative role in a club. And

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 3>then we've got people who are sitting down on stool

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 3>scrolling TikTok. I just found that a little bit, like

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 3>that's crazy to me.

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I've actually seen that in other professions as well, which

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I think is wild to me, especially like a service profession.

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>So I like herround the gym, no surprise, I'm always

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>around like personal trainers and stuff. It isn't like we've

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>spoken about it, right, So when I'm at the gym,

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I always see personal trainers like you're one on one

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 2>with someone one you maybe let's say between ninety and

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and five dollars an hour to have your

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 2>like attention, like watch my form, tell me what you yeah,

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>communicate with me, talk to me.

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Whatever it is to kind of like.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Fairly, it's unbelievably yeah. And sometimes I see them and

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>they're like scrolling social media as well while their client

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>is like half a meter away from them to being

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>an exercise, and I'm like surely you can give this

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>person who's paying you one hundred and thirty bucks an

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 2>hour you're undivided to.

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Make sure they're doing something right.

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>One hour. Yeah, you know like that, And because I

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 2>just think to myself, like if my client looked up

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>and saw me doing that, I'd be so embarrassed, you

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. Like, but it seems like just

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>normal now, Like as you said, like there's someone at

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>a club probably being paid like, you know, coundter bucks

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>an hour to do this job, and they're just sitting

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>there nonchalant.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think it's like I see that a

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>bit now, and it's it's not nice to it's nice

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 2>to see.

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, look, I thought i'd really miss clubbing and

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 3>i'd be like really excited to do that more like

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I thought it would maybe re spark

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 3>something in me. It didn't. I was so tired. I

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 3>was like, no, this is not for me anymore. Like

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I've really outgrown this. Maybe daytime clubbing Europe on a.

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Table that could be on a table.

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh you know, you're dancing on a table. We're having

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>a good time with your girlfriends. It's sonny, you've got

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>a drink in your hand.

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Dance on the table. Just dance on the floor.

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 3>No, the table's part of it. Oh, that's part of

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 3>the fun.

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>You like eating at the table, not dance.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 3>You eat and then you stand up, come on, get

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 3>with the program. So yeah, basically, what I've deduced is

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 3>that part of my life is very much behind me,

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and I think I think going out made me realize

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 3>that I'm glad it is.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for you because you weren't good the next

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 2>day either. You just lay on the couch all day and.

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 3>You're making me sound very catch potato we.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, as in when you were gone all of Saturday, right,

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>which is fine, like it have a great you need

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a recovery day the next day. I was like, well,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know i'd be losing you for the next

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>day as well.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Well you should You were a doorman at a club.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>You should have known.

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 2>So that was that was great for me. So if

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you're not a fan of the going out thing, that's

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 2>that's perfect. Welcome back to land of living. With that,

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 2>let's get stuck in. As some of you may know,

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Jad and I obviously recently went overseas. Now before we

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>went overseas, life was a bit chaotic with obviously the

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 2>things going on, you know, a few things going on

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 2>with us. We didn't really have much time, i would say,

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>for each other even on the trip, you know, like

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you're kind of just managing, you know, one child each

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>at a time, quite separate. We didn't really have much

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>much us time. Yeah, and so when we got home,

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>we kind of realized that we, you know, probably been

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>neglecting each other a little bit, to which our producers

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and I thought that it would it was the time

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to strike and make us do a relationship compatibility test,

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 2>which is really really kind of him. So yeah, pretty much,

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Jad and I have completed this relationship compatibility test on

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>our own.

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 3>I used to do these in school all the time

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 3>with my crushes, really crushes. I put my name in

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 3>with them, see if compatible.

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, this one's a little bit more detailed.

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Listeners. Yeah, So there was forty questions total, and it

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 4>is from the Reconnection Institute and it's the Relationship Satisfaction Scale.

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 4>So you can go to the website and you can

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 4>do it yourselves and then spring it on your partner

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 4>as well and see if you are compatible. But you

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 4>do it individually, and then it gives you a score

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 4>individually based on if you're compatible or not. So I've

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 4>got Jada and Locke both to do the test separately

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 4>and not share their scores. And I've plucked some questions

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 4>from the forty questions today I'm going to put to

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 4>you to just discuss between yourselves.

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared and I actually, I actually dare say that.

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the best part about these, Like I

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't, you know, let's just say Jad and I.

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, hypothetically we get a poor number, or you

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>do it with your partner and get a poor number.

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's like it's not like a

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 2>final verdict, like if you get a poor number, like

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>leave your partner, like things I'm going to work. There's

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>so many other factors that come into place, like with

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>a successful relationship. But I do think like going through

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the forty questions, it was like really good, like thought starters,

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 2>conversation starters. It even gets you like a little bit

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>self reflective, introspective, and like kind of gets you just

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>like thinking about things perhaps you wouldn't have thought may

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>affect your relationship. So I think it was really good

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>for that. But that being said, I didn't do it

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>with the thought of, like if I get a poor number,

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna leave JAD, you know, because like that's I

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 2>don't think that's really what it's for. But you're a

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 2>weird unit. Yeah. But I say, if you guys are

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>going to do it, I would say, like you no,

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>answer honestly as best you can, because you can keep

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 2>it anonymous, you know, like you don't have to tell

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>your part of your results if.

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 3>You don't want, you're only lying to yourself.

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 2>But also I would say, like base it on your

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 2>overall relationship, like not how you're feeling in the now,

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 2>like if you're in a honeymoon stage or you're going

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you're having fights at the moment and things are bad,

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>like don't maybe don't do the test if you're in

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 2>that headspace. But when you're in like a a decent

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 2>headspace with your partner and you can know.

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 4>People should be doing it in those moments because like

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 4>they're being challenged, they want to know if they're compatible,

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 4>do you know what I mean? You wouldn't be doing

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 4>a compatibility test if everything was Yeah.

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 2>But that's when bias would come in, right, So if

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>you're if you're asked a question on communication and you

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>had to fight an hour earlier, you might answer that

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 2>question with a bit more like venom in your answer,

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 2>whereas like if you took overall communication in your relationship,

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>if you're not thinking negatively about it, then you might

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>give a more honest answer.

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I get what you're saying, Thank you, Xata, But I

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 3>do agree with Xander in that you're not normally looking

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 3>out compatibility tests when you're like having a great time. Yeah,

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 3>you're usually like, I'm not having fun, Let's see if

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm compatible.

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but what I'm saying is it's best to probably

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 2>not do the test in that headspace. You should do

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 2>it in a neutral headspace.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but who's thinking neutrally when they're not thinking Neutrallly?

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I mean?

0:13:55.400 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, sometimes I get you and Socrates, you know, mixed up.

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>There's a bit of a crossover modern day. Yeah, but

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess. Yeah, you get a score out of one hundred.

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Lower it is, you know, as least compatible, less compatible,

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and higher the better. But yeah, let's get stuck.

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Question like all the juicy stuff that we're going to

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>be scared to indulge.

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 2>How many times a week do you guys have co

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>What questions you got for us?

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 4>The first one's not that racy.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 3>We're supposed to We're supposed to reveal our score first.

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 4>No, at the very end interesting The listener holding on

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 4>to the very end of the podcast.

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Sucked in, guys, Sorry, listen.

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 4>To all right? Question number one? Can you both find

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 4>humor in challenging situations?

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Dare I say, well, I want to hear you first.

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 3>What I want to hear you first? At every question?

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>You can't start talking, I want to hear you first. Yeah, well,

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I dare say, Like, I'm probably a

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>bit more of like a worry wart when it comes

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to stuff that Like I don't like surprises. I like everything.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like things being up in the air, like

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 2>weighing on my shoulders. I don't like unpredictability, Like right now,

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to have you know, some things done with

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 2>the house that we bought, and we're going back and

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 2>forth with solicitors and trades people, and like none of

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it's sorted, and I just like, can't my mind can't

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>be for two minutes because I have all these like

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>cogs turning in my head and all these people that

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I need to connect and get things done and legal stuff,

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's all a headache and I can't. Like I'm

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>not joking about it with Jad, So I guess I

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know that humor. But that being said, like Chad

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and I have always connected through like being silly, sarcastic,

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and like I don't know how I would even say,

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 2>like teasing each other. Like even I.

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Feel like we do use humor in challenging situations. Well

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 3>maybe just I do. And then because I'm laughing, I

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 3>think other people laughing.

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Give me like an example, like if you're both stressed

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>stress over something, like, do you kind of come together

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 2>in those situations to humor?

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Like is that something that kind of will like ease

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 4>that tension.

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, See, maybe we use humor, but only if it's

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 3>the situation's not like dire.

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if we know that, like you know this this

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.040
<v Speaker 2>too shell pass kind of stuff, then yeah we might

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 2>we might joke around and muck around with it. But

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I used.

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Human to cope with a lot, Like that's just how

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 3>I am as a person.

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Jad does use it to deflect quite a bit, Okay,

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 2>very funny. No, No, But for example, like yet, literally

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 2>yesterday we joked around. It might have been the day

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 2>before that all of us, like all four people in

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>the house were like crying throughout the day, Like the

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 2>two boys were, you know, crying. At some point, Chad

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 2>had cried and I had cried. So like obviously we're

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>all feeling stuff. And Jad and I had a little

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 2>like joke and giggle about that. But whether or not

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that's like using humor to like get through really tough times,

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I think when things are like really really challenging, maybe not.

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I think we both kind of yeah, maybe we take

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 3>that a bit more seriously. But if it's like kind

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.160
<v Speaker 3>of yeah, we both know it's like water under the bridge,

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 3>eventually we might use humor.

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we do stuff around with each other heaps, so

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 2>like we're always mucking around with a part of our lives.

0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>We're always teasing each other, We're always mucking around. Like

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>that's a huge part.

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I use a lot of humor when dad died.

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Did you want to share, like in what ways?

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, like I just like making jokes about it. Oh,

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.200
<v Speaker 3>it's not typically a funny situation, Yeah, very much so.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I did it help.

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 3>It does help me because it's also I think I

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 3>learned that from him, So I think that it's like

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 3>a way to connect.

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 2>That's nice.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's probably what he would want, Like I

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:40.920
<v Speaker 3>can hear him in my head laughing at the jokes

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.680
<v Speaker 3>that I'm making. Sure, So I think I I think

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 3>I use humor maybe more than you do in those

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 3>kinds of situations.

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I would agree with that.

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully find this question humorous. Are you satisfied with the

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 4>distribution of household responsibilities?

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Classic? JAD? You can go this on first. I went

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 2>the last one first. I okay, so you're happy.

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 3>I created a schedule. I think we brought it up

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 3>on the pod, did we. I created a schedule recently

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 3>for us to follow that involved all household tasks, including

0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 3>really stupid little things because we just weren't getting on

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 3>top of anything. But I didn't actually really follow the

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 3>schedule after day one, So that was my bad. Lock's

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 3>done a way better job than I have.

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's just cancel the scheduler. Let's just talk.

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I think we do need to delete the schedule.

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's just talk in general.

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Though, I think that well, it's not that they're divvied

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 3>up well or not. It's that a lot of it

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 3>just doesn't get done. That's like, that's how I feel,

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 3>do you know what I mean? Like the house is

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.040
<v Speaker 3>like looks like a bomb went off. Yeah, that's because

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 3>the stuff everywhere.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 2>When let's I'll ask you a question, right, let's just

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 2>let's just hypothetically, you know, use this bomb. When the

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>bomb explodes and all the debris goes everywhere, who owns

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the debris?

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.360
<v Speaker 3>That's a good question the council, Like.

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Everything that's everywhere amongst the house, Like whose debris if

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.080
<v Speaker 2>someone were to collect the debris and put it in

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.440
<v Speaker 2>designated area, would that be like a.

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:38.359
<v Speaker 3>Well, no debris, it's mostly my debris, mostly my debris.

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 3>But there's also children debris, right, yes, and there's various

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 3>household debris.

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Awesome items that are the debris.

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Items that are used by everyone. Okay, so you know

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 3>your suitcases is not unpacked, just like mine isn't.

0:19:54.840 --> 0:20:00.199
<v Speaker 4>But are you satisfied get back to the distribution of

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 4>household responsibilities. I that's very satisfied.

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she is chilling.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know lock you're at. It's a hard question

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 3>to answer because it's very specific. It's about the distribution.

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 3>It's not distributed. There's a lot of tasks that haven't

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 3>been distributed very well. I feel that are just being neglected.

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 3>That's our issues.

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you're giving like a politician's answer.

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 3>You're just like, no, I'm giving an honest ance. There's

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.640
<v Speaker 3>a lack of distribution, and then so there's a lack

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 3>of responsibility, like.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>A distribution to you. That's the lack of distribution.

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm a very busy warweb.

0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I dare say like, okay, and Chad always goes

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>ian like to mention that you do this and that. Okay,

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I would say I take more responsibility for those things

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 2>around the house because Chad is often out of the

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.199
<v Speaker 2>house more so, as in it makes sense for it

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 2>to fall on me, you know. Like, But that being said,

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 2>there's of course things that don't get done and get

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>neglected because we're both busy almost all the time.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 3>I think, I think this is the thing we're worse

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 3>at in life, which is why I think we're really

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.880
<v Speaker 3>good at keeping the cogs turning with work. We're really

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 3>good at dedicating time to our kids where okay, at

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 3>making sure that we're remaining social seeing people and then

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of spending time with each other, and then I

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 3>think housework falls at the very bottom of that list.

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 3>It's something we're going to get on top of them, and.

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going to have to because we're downsizing, the space

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a lot smaller, it's going to

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 2>be a lot higher, sorry, a lot harder to hide

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the mess.

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, sorry, that was not really an answer, Sander. Apologies,

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 3>we kind of let you down there.

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 4>That's fine. The next one we're going to have tough

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 4>to answer properly.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, have to answer properly.

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 4>How satisfied are you with the sexual aspect of your relationships?

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 3>You you're going to ask this question, I mean, how

0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 3>much do we want to die bulge? That's kind of

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 3>the question.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Not much to divulge, excuse me.

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Look, I think when we want to make time for that,

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 3>we can definitely make it work. We have. We have

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:20.120
<v Speaker 3>recently discovered that you've just got to find the right

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 3>time and you've got to make it happen. It's not

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 3>like it used to be. You know, it's not a

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.200
<v Speaker 3>whole there's you know, six step thing that happens anymore.

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.199
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of just like you know, you get the

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.959
<v Speaker 3>time and you do it and that's that and you

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 3>know that can be really fun. So it's not to

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 3>say that you're not still having a great time, but

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 3>you do have less time for it, less time to

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 3>spend on it, and you I mean, there's definitely room

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:48.080
<v Speaker 3>for improvement.

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.160
<v Speaker 2>It was that was answered very nicely. I agree. It's

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.400
<v Speaker 2>nice to find your pockets and your time. And sometimes

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I would almost say, like we go through like spurts,

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like you know, like based on good good.

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.439
<v Speaker 3>Times, povulation cycle, based on.

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Chad's ovulation cycle. No, there's times where I'd say we're

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>way better where it definitely gets you know, neglected for

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>a period of time, and that's so fine. I think

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 2>that that's I don't know, I dare say, like for

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 2>most people, like that's that's the realistic part about you know,

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 2>being young parents who are trying to keep it all together.

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's not it's not just you anymore. In

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 2>the most days, you're pretty you're pretty spent, and sometimes

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that's Yeah.

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I also feel like libido wise, we're not like on

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 3>crazy different you know, sides of the world like some

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:40.719
<v Speaker 3>people are in relationships where they're just like one person's

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:42.440
<v Speaker 3>on one end and one person's on the other, and

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 3>they really struggle to meet in the middle, especially after

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 3>they have kids, when that's all one person is thinking about,

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 3>the other one isn't. So that probably helps us a

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 3>little bit as well, is that we're both not like,

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not killing us that we're not able to do

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 3>that as much as we used to. I think sure.

0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And we have heard from like friends of ours

0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 2>who have like, yeah, as Jad said, like one person

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 2>who is you know, would happily go a couple of

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 2>times a day, and then the other person who's not

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>like that, and that would be quite hard, you know,

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 2>because intimacy that like physical intimacy, the rejection of it

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.840
<v Speaker 2>can feel like a rejection of you as a person.

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 2>And if one person connects in that way and one

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>person's constantly rejecting it, then I can see how that

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>might create like a bit of a bit of tension

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, a disagreement in the relationship. So yeah,

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:29.639
<v Speaker 2>lucky that we don't have that.

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:31.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we've ever had a rejection scenario.

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Mate, if you're ready to rock, I'm ready right Well.

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.040
<v Speaker 4>With that being said, are you both open to exploring

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 4>and adapting to each other's desires.

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 3>See. I thought about this question because I was like,

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 3>that's really interesting because you know, we've spoken about certain

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 3>things on the pod where I'm like, if my partner

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 3>wanted to all of a sudden do that, I would

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 3>not be open to that. So I thought about it, well, like.

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, give an example of what you would and what

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't. Like where's the.

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Line I don't know that I want to say?

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 2>That was in we did an episode, remember where we

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 2>did Cold Cases where Xander or sorry Britt read out

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.879
<v Speaker 2>articles to us, and there was that one where the

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 2>partners are essentially like cuckolds.

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, so if you came to me and you said, look,

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 3>I really want to start doing this or I'm really

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 3>interested in you know.

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Just say it, bro, it's our podcast, do.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:34.120
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.400
<v Speaker 3>But like there is a line that like, no, I'm

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.520
<v Speaker 3>not willing to do absolutely everything you want to try,

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:41.879
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not. Sorry, just because I love you doesn't mean

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to start, you know, crossing all my boundaries.

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 3>So there is a line. But yeah, within reason of course,

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 3>if you said, hey, this sounds fun and I went,

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 3>it's not what I'd normally do, but I'll try it

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 3>if it's not crazy.

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure, Yeah, I mean I would. I would say I'm

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the same. I'm definitely like I would not be okay

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 2>with certain things being like infidelity or you know, polygamy

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.160
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. But if Dad was like, hey,

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.800
<v Speaker 2>can we try this, then I'd be like if it

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>wasn't you know, as I said, sexual, is it not?

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Polygamy is like when you're married to multiple women.

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 2>No, no, polygamy can just be having sexual relationship with lots

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 2>of people's marriage.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 4>That's marriage. Yeah, it's when a man has multiple.

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh sorry, so sorry I meant polyamory then oh.

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, oh yea yeah yeah, yeah, there we go.

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Sorry the police got mixed up. Yeah. Polyamory where you know,

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 2>like you're racing. It's essentially open and yeah, like I don't.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't really crave that at all. Like I love

0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>for me, I love having a monogamous relationship. So if

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 2>you were suddenly like, hey, I want to do that,

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like.

0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 3>What if I said, Okay, I'm I'm gonna put a scenario,

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 3>do you What if I said.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna be good. Dad's already laughing.

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 3>What if I said, I want you ter me ow

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.280
<v Speaker 3>like a cat the whole time.

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:01.360
<v Speaker 2>The whole time.

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I'd be quite vocal and lots of me are we.

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, I can do that for you, but

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably laugh my head off the whole time. So

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>as long as.

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 3>That was I've sat you down, I've gone, look, there's

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 3>something I really need you to take very seriously. I've

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 3>been thinking about this for a while and I've been

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 3>a bit scared to share this with it.

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what. It would not be able to

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 2>be missionary because I could not look you in the

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>face and do that. That would be a joke.

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 3>And I need you specifically to the whole time.

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would like if I if I set you down,

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:31.359
<v Speaker 2>I said, hey, is this something you really need to

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 2>tick off your list of once, I would do it.

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 3>You would just say, yes, that's pretty effed up, because

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 3>that's like bestiality. Shiit. Sorry, No, it's not like.

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Best reality shiit.

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 3>What well think about it. I'm fantasizing over a cat. Sorry,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 3>that makes you weird.

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe if I dressed up in a full animal

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 2>suit that would be a bit different, But making.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 4>If you're dressed up in an animal suit.

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>King, that's different, but then you wanted to have sex

0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>that would be weird.

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, Chad could be a furry Well.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad we've cleared this up. Good to know that

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 3>in the future I have zero percent desire to do

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 3>any of that, but nice to know what you do

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 3>for me. Thank you.

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 2>I think we're both open, but we also have lines.

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 2>If that's that's sort of where we stand.

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.919
<v Speaker 4>Are you moving towards common goals in your relationship and

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 4>personal lives?

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 3>I think if you're not, you're with the wrong person.

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think this is something that we're really really

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>good at, is like backing each other like one hundred percent,

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 2>encouraging each other, like no matter if our paths are different,

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the things that we're encouraging, Like Chad is so encouraging

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 2>of me and so motivating even and I dare say,

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 2>like I'm always the same with her, like I tell

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:55.959
<v Speaker 2>her to go after it, do this, try this, and

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 2>like you know wherever that takes us. I think we're

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.760
<v Speaker 2>really good having each other's backs, And I think that

0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that's you know, like who else do you want doing that?

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Then your partner being you're number one? Like cheerleader supporter

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>and the person essentially saying like, hey, you can do anything,

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, just just keep going set your mind to it.

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think, yeah, we're we're really good at being

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that person for each other.

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I think also common goals, like in our family unit, definitely,

0:29:19.000 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 3>like we both are on the same page in terms

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 3>of like how we want to raise our kids and

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 3>where we see ourselves in you know, ten, fifteen, twenty

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 3>years and what's important to us. So yeah, absolutely, I

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 3>think if you didn't, if you weren't on the same

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 3>page as your partner in that, I think you'd be

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 3>having a very difficult time day to day.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think they're like that's a tough thing to

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 2>like not have and still have a good scaffold for

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a relationship is if you're not on the same page

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 2>of those things, you don't have the same like And

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 2>I would say say, like, we don't have the same interests,

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Like personal interests change, Like we like some things like together,

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:56.719
<v Speaker 2>like we love adventure and exploring and going on hikes

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 2>and playing board games and stuff like that. But you know,

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.440
<v Speaker 2>jad's super to fashion. I love training like I love sports.

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's different things that we I'm sporty. Joy,

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 2>you are very sporty. Yeah, I just I wouldn't say

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 2>love it.

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I love it when I'm good at it.

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yep, no, no, But I'm saying that I think

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:20.000
<v Speaker 2>those things matter way less, like like liking the same

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 2>things personal interest, especially music, than being aligned with your

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>life goals, your vision for family, and your and your

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 2>aspirations of And I would say, like what you deem

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>fulfillment to look like in your life? You know, like

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 2>if one person thinks that fulfillment looks like a bank account,

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 2>and then one person thinks that fulfillment looks like time

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and freedom and travel, or like pursuing you know, personal

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 2>goals or you know, whatever it may be like. If

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 2>those things aren't aligned, I think you'd start to clash

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>as well. Yeah cool, thanks for the confirmation.

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I agree love that.

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 4>How effectively do you and your partner resolve disagreements and

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 4>are you both able to maintain in respect for each

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 4>other's boundaries during conflicts?

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 3>I want to hear what you have to say. I

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 3>don't know what did you vote this one in the test?

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember exactly, but I think it's definitely something

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 2>we've one hundred percent improved on over time. Like we

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 2>were probably both not very good at it at the

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 2>very start of our relationship when we were a bit

0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 2>younger as well, and probably a little bit more fiery,

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't really understand how the other person operated and what

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 2>they liked. You know. Jad's very like when we argue

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and have a battle or something, you know, don't shy

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:38.080
<v Speaker 2>away from me, like don't don't go into no talk

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:40.640
<v Speaker 2>mode and no contact and stuff like that, Whereas like

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm very like, you know, space is fine and you

0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 2>can give me some time. So you know, like finding

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 2>out those things about your partner are important because just

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 2>because something might work for you or you might like it,

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean it's going to it's going to be what

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, solve things, solves things for your partner. But yeah,

0:31:56.760 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, like.

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 4>What's the way when you were younger that you do

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 4>it differently now? Like what's something that you used to

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 4>do early in your relationship that you've gone I've actually

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 4>worked on that. And we're much better at coming together because.

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I do this now, like not letting things linger for

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 2>too long. Like we we sort of like we might

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>have arguments and battles and in the past perhaps we'd

0:32:22.920 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 2>let like that festa for a few days or something

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 2>before sort of resolving, and but I think that doesn't

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 2>really happen anymore, Like we don't have the this, I

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know even the space to do that, you know.

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>So I think we're pretty good at getting on top

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 2>of things as soon as they happen and resolving. And

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like making that conscious effort of actually

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>changing or actually adapting instead of just saying something like

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:49.760
<v Speaker 2>actually action speaking louder than your words, I guess after

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the fact, do you want to add anything that's just

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 2>me talking in this?

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I think that's one area of our relationship that that

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 3>has there's still room for movement. I think that we

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 3>can both be a bit I guess, fiery when it

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 3>comes to like standing our ground, and we can both

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit stubborn, and I think we sometimes

0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 3>can struggle to see the other person's perspective because we

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 3>just get tunnel vision. And so I think that that's

0:33:20.320 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 3>something we're still working on. We've definitely changed the way

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 3>in which we argue, so like, I think we're both

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 3>very conscious of the fact that we have children around

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:33.479
<v Speaker 3>us now, so we're trying actively to not argue in

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 3>certain ways because we don't want that to be something

0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:40.800
<v Speaker 3>that they're witnessing. So that's probably helpful in terms of

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 3>not letting things get to a certain point. But I

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.719
<v Speaker 3>think that conflict resolution is something that we're constantly working on,

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.959
<v Speaker 3>and I think that although we have made leaps and bounds,

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 3>like you said, from when we first started dating, there's

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:55.719
<v Speaker 3>still like a bit that we need to work on

0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:58.959
<v Speaker 3>because we just we do deal with conflict differently. Like

0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Locke does like to take time and process things, and

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:05.480
<v Speaker 3>I really hate that. I feel like the longer that

0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:08.840
<v Speaker 3>something's left, the worst I feel. So that's really hard

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 3>is then when Lock feels better with time and I

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 3>feel better with something being fixed immediately, it's really hard

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:19.000
<v Speaker 3>to find that middle ground there. So yeah, it's something

0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:22.480
<v Speaker 3>that we that we definitely are still working on and

0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 3>we're still trying to kind of find where that happy

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.400
<v Speaker 3>medium is. But I think, yeah, we've made a lot

0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 3>of progress, and I think that I think that we're

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:34.719
<v Speaker 3>continuing to do so we're both conscious of that and

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 3>we both I think want to continually do better and

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:40.879
<v Speaker 3>we're both trying to. It's just that when we both

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 3>get a little bit like I guess, you know, your

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:45.720
<v Speaker 3>top blows off and you struggle to kind of put

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:49.399
<v Speaker 3>a hat, like you struggle to contain your emotion. That's

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 3>where we both probably get a little bit flustered, and

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:55.919
<v Speaker 3>where we could probably do a bit better, as we're

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:58.919
<v Speaker 3>not great at kind of maybe taking a step back

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 3>and I guess like calming ourselves down first before we

0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 3>have a reaction. Do you know what I mean?

0:35:08.040 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're both a bit reaction.

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 3>We are. We're both very reactive, I would say so. So, yeah,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I think there's there's definitely room for improvement there for sure.

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 3>But what was the second part of the question? Do

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 3>you feel respected? And yeah, you both both.

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Are you both able to maintain respects for each other's

0:35:29.400 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 4>boundaries during a conflict?

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I feel like it's a tricky question because

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we don't even we're probably not respecting

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 3>our own boundaries in those scenarios sometimes, Like I mean,

0:35:45.400 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I've told myself over and over again, don't do this,

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 3>don't do this, don't do this, and then I still

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:53.279
<v Speaker 3>go and do that. So I'm not respecting my own Yeah,

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 3>my own ideals of how I should be. So I'm

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 3>sure there are at times. There are times where I'm

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.440
<v Speaker 3>also not respecting your back and in those scenarios, and

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 3>that's something that I really don't like about myself, is

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 3>that I'm still trying to manage that part of myself.

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 3>And so yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure there would be

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 3>times where we both feel a little bit disrespected in

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:18.320
<v Speaker 3>those scenarios. Yeah, unfortunately, but like that's just we're not perfect. Yeah,

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:21.360
<v Speaker 3>we've never said that we are, and we're always working

0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 3>at it. And I think that's the best you can do,

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.319
<v Speaker 3>is that if you're both consciously working at it, you're

0:36:26.360 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 3>not just like, oh, it is what it is, and

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 3>that's that we're both very aware and constantly working at it.

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the only thing you can ever do.

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's one of the most important things for

0:36:36.120 --> 0:36:40.520
<v Speaker 2>like a successful ongoing relationship as well, is conflict resolution.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's something that I don't know probably these tests

0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:47.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe don't account for as like someone's ability to do

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that because you might ask you the question, but it's

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of how you deal with the aftermath of having

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 2>an argument with your partner or a disagreement, how you

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 2>move forward. So yes, definitely, the repair works something we

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:58.840
<v Speaker 2>realized early on that if we kept doing it the

0:36:58.840 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 2>way we did at the start, we weren't gonna you know,

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 2>work things out long term. So it was something that

0:37:03.960 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 2>we needed to work on and have done but are

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 2>still doing.

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Last question I have for you both.

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, last too easy, keep them coming.

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 4>Do you both actively encourage and empower each other to

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 4>pursue your dreams? Oh?

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've already said this. I feel Yeah, I.

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Think it's one thing that we're like really good at.

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:22.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's like the reason why we both feel

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 2>so confident to go and do weird and wacky staff

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 2>at you know, thirty plus with two kids is because

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 2>we're both just we just HiPE each other and just go,

0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>like you can do it.

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Maybe a bit too much, bit too much money.

0:37:38.920 --> 0:37:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is actually this is actually a funny chat.

0:37:40.880 --> 0:37:43.240
<v Speaker 2>So when I was about like when I was about

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, twenty six, and Jad and I first started,

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, like seeing each other seriously, we moved in together,

0:37:49.480 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 2>and you know, like this was a thing. I was

0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 2>working like two jobs at the time. I'd work a

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:56.680
<v Speaker 2>day job and I worked at night job as well.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I worked in construction and then I worked at the nightclubs, right,

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.399
<v Speaker 2>And there came a time where I gave up those

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:05.440
<v Speaker 2>two jobs to kind of pursue things with Jad and

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.480
<v Speaker 2>pursue things at the time for us looked like traveling

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and doing essentially like content creations for hotels travel companies.

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Like it was a huge risk and leap, but I

0:38:14.840 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 2>had no idea about any of that stuff. Like people

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 2>had taken photos of me without my shirt on at

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.160
<v Speaker 2>the gym, but that was kind of like the extent

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:25.200
<v Speaker 2>of my content creation, Whereas like Jad was like, Hey,

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you need to learn how to use cameras, video cameras,

0:38:27.040 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 2>drones and like do all this stuff. And if you

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 2>have those skills and we can travel and do this,

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 2>like we can maybe turn into something. And I remember

0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:34.799
<v Speaker 2>having the conversation with my brother and being like, hey,

0:38:34.840 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to quit my jobs and Chad and I'm

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 2>going to do this thing. And he was like, oh,

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.479
<v Speaker 2>that's interesting, Like good luck, Like you could like maybe

0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 2>give it a crack for a while and see how

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 2>it works, and you know, if things aren't working in

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a year or two, it is time then like you

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 2>can go back and do the thing that you left

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:48.919
<v Speaker 2>or And I remember saying to my brother like yeah,

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:50.360
<v Speaker 2>that's a good idea. And then it came to that

0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:52.279
<v Speaker 2>time and I was like, I'll give it a little bit longer,

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:53.319
<v Speaker 2>like see if I can do it for a little

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 2>bit longer. Got to like thirty and I was like, ah, okay,

0:38:56.560 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 2>like I'm not We're not quite there yet, like I

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 2>haven't ticked all the boxes. We're doing some stuff, but

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 2>like I'd still like to do more, and you know,

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>like for example, like started doing stuff within like TV

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and acting like I really wanted to get into media

0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and I hadn't cracked it for years, and there were

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 2>heaps of times where I wanted to give up, and

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 2>like Jad saw like seek on my phone or something.

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 2>She's like, what are you doing? I was like, I'm

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:20.799
<v Speaker 2>looking for full time work, like jobs, like like I

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:24.120
<v Speaker 2>feel weird doing this, like continuing trying to pursue these

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 2>things that are like kind of working kind of not.

0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:29.560
<v Speaker 2>And then like she'd always be the one to be like, no,

0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you can't give up, Like you got to keep going

0:39:31.640 --> 0:39:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and also like set an example for like our kids,

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 2>like what happens if we give up on the things

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:38.080
<v Speaker 2>that we want to do, then that'll instill in them

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:40.799
<v Speaker 2>to if they have dreams or passions that they want

0:39:40.840 --> 0:39:43.319
<v Speaker 2>to work on, like they'll see us give up on

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:47.720
<v Speaker 2>them and they might do the same. So like you know, wheread,

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Chad is like amazing at that and she always like

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:54.840
<v Speaker 2>fills me up, and I dare say I do the

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.280
<v Speaker 2>same with her, Like I can't obviously I can't speak

0:39:57.320 --> 0:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>on it, but you know, I'm always I always tell

0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 2>her like, hey, I think you should be doing this,

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:02.839
<v Speaker 2>or you should try this, or you'd be amazing at this.

0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're always kind of like bumping ideas

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 2>in for each other and trying to do more and

0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.759
<v Speaker 2>bigger and better, and they're never I don't think we

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 2>ever look at each other and go like, hey, you

0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 2>should give up on this thing and you know it's

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 2>not really working. We might not always pumping each other up.

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely, I think so. I think that's one of

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.799
<v Speaker 3>our greatest strengths is that we're always one hundred percent

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:24.920
<v Speaker 3>backing each other and whatever the other one wants to try.

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I think we're really good at that. And

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 3>we're both very ambitious, I think, and it helps that

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.440
<v Speaker 3>we both are, I guess is because we both understand

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:37.920
<v Speaker 3>that we have big dreams and big goals, and we

0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 3>want to continue pursuing them no matter how much older

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:44.359
<v Speaker 3>we get or how much harder the juggle becomes. It's like, well, no,

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 3>we're not giving up on these things. We're just going

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 3>to keep going at it, even though it's a bit

0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 3>slower now to go at those things. But yeah, I

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 3>think we're good at that. Anyway. That was a long,

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:54.240
<v Speaker 3>long answer to that question.

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but we ended on a really lovely note. Yeah,

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.440
<v Speaker 4>so hopefully we there. Because you're about to share your

0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:02.279
<v Speaker 4>results with each other.

0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah.

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, you can go first.

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:13.320
<v Speaker 3>My score was seventy six. It says you have strong compatibility,

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 3>indicating a healthy and fu fulling relationship. And it says

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 3>a score of seventy plus indicates a robust and highly

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:22.319
<v Speaker 3>satisfying level of relationship compatibility. And then you know, there's

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of other words, but I'm not going to

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 3>read it.

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 4>And that's a percentage.

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, it's you out of your hundred, I got

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty three point too far. So mine says the same,

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:38.719
<v Speaker 2>obviously score of seventy plus. And then it says, you know,

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 2>we've got all the pillars for you know, a good

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:46.120
<v Speaker 2>foundation and during partnership, open and honest communication, all these things.

0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 2>But where it will that's interesting. I actually I think

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I know, I think I know where our things may

0:41:53.760 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 2>have differed, like little things. When I was answering the questions,

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, this, like I'm affected more positively

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 2>by the so Dad's affected more negatively by.

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:03.120
<v Speaker 3>This and the little things.

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:07.880
<v Speaker 2>And one thing that I noticed was actually our relationship

0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:09.280
<v Speaker 2>with each other's friendship circles.

0:42:09.680 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that one got me too.

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps, like maybe that's why JAD scored lower because Jad

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:18.600
<v Speaker 2>has I would I would say, like a very good

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:22.480
<v Speaker 2>like relationship and bond with like most of my closest friends.

0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I would say, like they're some of her closest

0:42:24.320 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 2>friends now over like ten years of being together, Whereas

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:31.239
<v Speaker 2>perhaps I haven't connected with her friends as much as

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:33.480
<v Speaker 2>she's connected with mine, and that was part of the

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.359
<v Speaker 2>like obviously that would be a big part of a relationship, right,

0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:38.760
<v Speaker 2>is like your ability to connect with the friendship circle

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:40.040
<v Speaker 2>of the other ones. And that's not to say I

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:43.240
<v Speaker 2>don't connect with you know, there's plenty of there's plenty

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of her friends that I connect with. But yeah, perhaps

0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:48.239
<v Speaker 2>I would say, like at the beginning of our relationship,

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't feel like there were some moments and you know,

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.839
<v Speaker 2>like hangouts and stuff where we would all be together

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:58.440
<v Speaker 2>where I didn't feel, you know, welcomed, and I felt

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:01.399
<v Speaker 2>like a bit ostracized or you know, and that kind

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:04.280
<v Speaker 2>of made me hide away from hanging out with her friends.

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 2>And then that kind of snowballs, and it becomes like

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>years of not doing that and then yeah, suddenly I

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:12.440
<v Speaker 2>think to that close with certain people in her group,

0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 2>and I should have.

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 4>Asked that question getting deep in that alley.

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Yeah, yeah, Xanda wanted to know how many times

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 2>we had sex.

0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I think there's some I think there were a couple

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 3>of questions where I'm the same, like I would have

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 3>looked at it and gone, I think we might score

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 3>differently here. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's what I thought was actually really

0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 2>good about it because it asked questions that perhaps you

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't ask each other and you wouldn't think about if

0:43:38.160 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 2>not probed, you know, so I wouldn't say, like, if

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I got a poor score in this, I wouldn't have gone, oh,

0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 2>my relationship with jud sex not at all. But reading

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:49.680
<v Speaker 2>it was a really good like thought starter. You know,

0:43:49.680 --> 0:43:52.399
<v Speaker 2>it makes you question certain things, maybe think about certain

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:54.399
<v Speaker 2>things you wouldn't and then also just be a bit

0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:57.480
<v Speaker 2>like self reflective and like what could I maybe do better?

0:43:57.520 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Because like I feel like my partner might answer this

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:02.359
<v Speaker 2>yeah low school, and like I don't want that her

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:03.759
<v Speaker 2>to feel like that or him to feel like that?

0:44:03.800 --> 0:44:05.239
<v Speaker 2>So how do I how do I change it?

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:09.360
<v Speaker 2>And then you're realizing, yeah, a really good relationship thought starter.

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.640
<v Speaker 3>I think I think what would actually be really good

0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:17.680
<v Speaker 3>is going down the line of questions together answering them anonymously,

0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:19.799
<v Speaker 3>like like not saying your answer.

0:44:20.160 --> 0:44:22.399
<v Speaker 2>You're doing it on your phone separately, but together.

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:24.320
<v Speaker 3>I think you're together. I think you go through questions

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:26.440
<v Speaker 3>one by one and you write your answer down, and

0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 3>then at the same time you kind of not at

0:44:28.440 --> 0:44:31.040
<v Speaker 3>the same time, but you then take turns telling each

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:32.879
<v Speaker 3>other what your answer was, and you flip it around

0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 3>your wrote on a piece of paper, and then you

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 3>discuss why. I think that would actually be really, really

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 3>a really kind of helpful way to dive a bit deeper,

0:44:44.880 --> 0:44:47.759
<v Speaker 3>especially if you are maybe having a point in your

0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:49.920
<v Speaker 3>relationship where things are a little bit I don't know,

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe a bit up in the air and you're not

0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:52.839
<v Speaker 3>sure what it is that's going on, and you both

0:44:52.920 --> 0:44:54.360
<v Speaker 3>kind of feel like you're not on the same page

0:44:54.440 --> 0:44:56.800
<v Speaker 3>with a few things. It would be a great way

0:44:56.960 --> 0:45:00.759
<v Speaker 3>to figure that out. And yeah, instead of just taking

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:02.480
<v Speaker 3>on your own and going what present did you get,

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 3>like going through each question one by one and then

0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.239
<v Speaker 3>finding out genuinely and being very honest with each other,

0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:09.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, about what's going on with that question for

0:45:09.840 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 3>both of you, which we should probably still do that

0:45:12.000 --> 0:45:14.800
<v Speaker 3>because I think that yeah, whilst we've just discussed a

0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:15.440
<v Speaker 3>little bit of it.

0:45:15.800 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like having these conversations is always good and is

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:20.879
<v Speaker 2>going to bring to light the things that need work,

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:22.680
<v Speaker 2>and it is going to highlight things going well and

0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 2>highlight also the things were going well. So yeah, only

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:27.120
<v Speaker 2>beneficial I think really, So yeah, definitely.

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 3>So thanks for making us do it, Sander.

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Thanksander, anytime. That's my job, all right, guys, Before

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:44.040
<v Speaker 2>we get into our ask Mum and dad this week,

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.240
<v Speaker 2>we have a few questions coming in from someone's special.

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Actually you all might know Anna McAvoy from the Where's

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Your Head podcast? She has a few questions. She's a

0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:54.719
<v Speaker 2>newly recent mum and she has a few questions for

0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Jad and I, which is always funny when people have

0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.200
<v Speaker 2>questions for Jaed and I because we like to think

0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 2>we know what we're doing, but we really have no idea.

0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:04.080
<v Speaker 2>But and I welcome to Matt about you and hit

0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 2>us with all your beautiful questions.

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome and congrat Hi guys, thank you, thank you. My

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:12.720
<v Speaker 1>son just turned one, So I'm like, I still feel

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:17.759
<v Speaker 1>like I honestly have so many questions because one is

0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a good age.

0:46:19.320 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Really, one is a good age, isn't it.

0:46:21.360 --> 0:46:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard that eighteen months is apparently the pinnacle age.

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:26.799
<v Speaker 5>I haven't got there yet, so I can't say.

0:46:26.920 --> 0:46:29.640
<v Speaker 2>But it is fantastic because they're you know, they start

0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 2>to get some speech, and they like, you know, when

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:35.440
<v Speaker 2>they find some autonomy, they become little people and they

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:37.840
<v Speaker 2>have their own characteristics and personality, which is really lovely.

0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.440
<v Speaker 2>But something that we are experiencing now that our boys

0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:43.040
<v Speaker 2>almost two, which he's been doing for a few months now,

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:47.839
<v Speaker 2>is he's like really finding his voice and he likes

0:46:47.880 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to do some serious winging when things don't go is away,

0:46:51.680 --> 0:46:53.799
<v Speaker 2>So that parts not the best.

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't quite say. We're like, it's not like a

0:46:56.719 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 3>real hectic tantrum. But it's definitely like a lot of

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 3>opposing everything that we're saying.

0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Just defiant, just very defiant. I think you learned it

0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:06.600
<v Speaker 2>from your mind.

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:07.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm so scared.

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:12.720
<v Speaker 3>No looks, but it's it's it's amazing at the same time,

0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:14.839
<v Speaker 3>like it is, it just gets better and better and better.

0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:16.759
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, it's obviously a bit tricky, but look, I'm

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:19.279
<v Speaker 3>sorry we're taking out all your time. I'm sure you

0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:22.320
<v Speaker 3>have plenty of questions and they're just yapping on anyway.

0:47:23.360 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, guys, be honest, I have I have a burning question.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:29.960
<v Speaker 1>How are you guys actually going with sleep right now?

0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Because we are struggling.

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Chad had a two hour nap this morning when I

0:47:34.800 --> 0:47:36.720
<v Speaker 2>was with the boys, so she's doing just fine.

0:47:36.800 --> 0:47:37.399
<v Speaker 5>I love that.

0:47:37.600 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 3>No, look, I had a bad night's sleep and I

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:43.440
<v Speaker 3>lied on the couch and it just you know, I

0:47:43.520 --> 0:47:45.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of said, sorry, Locke, I'm out, I'm out this morning.

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:51.360
<v Speaker 3>So unfortunately that was that situation. But we look, I

0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:55.360
<v Speaker 3>would say we're actually doing okay. Like both the boys

0:47:55.440 --> 0:47:59.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of sleep through with the exception of a few

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 3>wakes here and there, for like Fletched cries out for

0:48:02.239 --> 0:48:04.920
<v Speaker 3>water or like Harvey might wake up and cry, but

0:48:04.960 --> 0:48:07.279
<v Speaker 3>he'll kind of resettle. And that's taken a lot of

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:09.480
<v Speaker 3>work though, Like I will say, we've been working at

0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:12.960
<v Speaker 3>that for a long long time, so we're very lucky

0:48:13.000 --> 0:48:15.600
<v Speaker 3>to be in that position now. But for some reason,

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Locke and I are just not very good at going

0:48:17.480 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 3>to bed early, so we're not getting enough sleep anyway,

0:48:20.160 --> 0:48:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Like we just suck.

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we might not be getting yeah, but the bulls

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:25.400
<v Speaker 2>are doing really well.

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:28.200
<v Speaker 5>At least they're getting enough sleep. That's the main thing, right.

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, well that brings me into my next question

0:48:31.280 --> 0:48:34.880
<v Speaker 1>with bedtime routines. How strict are you guys or you

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:36.680
<v Speaker 1>more go with the flow type of people.

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 2>I would say we are the opposite of go with

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the flow people. Yeah, No, I think I think something

0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:44.759
<v Speaker 2>that we learned, Like we had someone come and help

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:48.200
<v Speaker 2>us with our firstborn sleep around one so where you

0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:50.800
<v Speaker 2>are now with yours, because we were just really struggling,

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:53.799
<v Speaker 2>and I dare say, like we were still you know,

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 2>eight ten wake ups a night. One of us was

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.400
<v Speaker 2>sleeping in his room and we were just taking shifts

0:48:58.400 --> 0:48:59.839
<v Speaker 2>and it was really difficult. So we got some help

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and she kind of instilled that in us, and she

0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:06.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, it's really important, you know, like they thrive

0:49:06.480 --> 0:49:09.520
<v Speaker 2>on structure and routine and all these little things like

0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:11.440
<v Speaker 2>remind us to them that it's like it's coming up

0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to bedtime and it's relaxing time, and you know, all

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:16.319
<v Speaker 2>those little things. So we definitely have like a once

0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:19.640
<v Speaker 2>we have dinner in the evening, it's essentially like dinner, shower,

0:49:20.080 --> 0:49:22.960
<v Speaker 2>like get change books in like nice soft lighting, and

0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:24.520
<v Speaker 2>we hang out a little bit and we calm it

0:49:24.560 --> 0:49:26.720
<v Speaker 2>down and then we kind of go to the rooms

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and have bottles and more books and then go to bed.

0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Like that's kind of how it works in our house.

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:32.920
<v Speaker 2>And I dare say it's like it's pretty much the

0:49:32.960 --> 0:49:33.480
<v Speaker 2>same every night.

0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Yea, yeah, we thrive off it. Yeah.

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what's so interesting is my son's obviously

0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:43.120
<v Speaker 1>just turned one and we have recently got someone in

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 1>because we were like, we.

0:49:44.000 --> 0:49:46.040
<v Speaker 5>Can't do this anymore, it's so hard.

0:49:46.800 --> 0:49:50.799
<v Speaker 1>And something that she spoke about was bath times and

0:49:50.840 --> 0:49:54.560
<v Speaker 1>how important bath times are to that routine. And you know,

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like sometimes bath time can be calming, sometimes

0:49:57.680 --> 0:49:58.880
<v Speaker 1>they can be a bit chaotic.

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:00.880
<v Speaker 5>How are they in your household?

0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:04.799
<v Speaker 3>I think our boys love bath, but we do bath

0:50:04.880 --> 0:50:08.080
<v Speaker 3>or shower. Actually we've been showering more, which is almost weird.

0:50:08.120 --> 0:50:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's not the norm.

0:50:10.280 --> 0:50:12.200
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like, now that we have an almost

0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:14.279
<v Speaker 2>two year old, he kind of like we try and

0:50:14.320 --> 0:50:16.600
<v Speaker 2>get them done in the same you know, little ten

0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:19.160
<v Speaker 2>minute timeframe. So the little one sort of plays at

0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 2>one of our feet with these toys and you know,

0:50:21.360 --> 0:50:23.840
<v Speaker 2>tipping buckets and stuff, and then one of us holds

0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:26.359
<v Speaker 2>the six month old and washes him. But it's yeah,

0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:29.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a nice like I think just the warm water

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:31.040
<v Speaker 2>is like so relaxing to them at the end of

0:50:31.040 --> 0:50:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the day. I'm you know, the same as it is

0:50:33.120 --> 0:50:34.520
<v Speaker 2>for us. I'm sure if you had a bath before

0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you went to bed it would be easier to shut

0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:38.920
<v Speaker 2>your eyes. But yeah, I mean when we do that,

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:41.840
<v Speaker 2>it's like, you know, we've had we've had bubbs with

0:50:41.920 --> 0:50:44.520
<v Speaker 2>like quite you know, sensitive skin as well. So when

0:50:44.520 --> 0:50:47.160
<v Speaker 2>we when we bathe them, like you know, one or

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:49.279
<v Speaker 2>two products like from the QV range is kind of

0:50:49.320 --> 0:50:51.680
<v Speaker 2>all we kind of use, and then we keep it

0:50:51.719 --> 0:50:53.719
<v Speaker 2>simple when they're in and out without within like five

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes and on we go.

0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:57.520
<v Speaker 5>I can definitely relate to that. Suade.

0:50:57.520 --> 0:51:00.320
<v Speaker 1>My son has very sensitive skin and we've that the

0:51:00.400 --> 0:51:03.760
<v Speaker 1>QB range has been instrumental in helping him.

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:06.279
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, once, definitely we need to.

0:51:06.480 --> 0:51:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we used it at once and that was it.

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:10.960
<v Speaker 3>We never turned back, so it's been a saving grace

0:51:11.000 --> 0:51:11.560
<v Speaker 3>for us.

0:51:11.880 --> 0:51:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Are you bath people people?

0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:16.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm a.

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm both, but yeah, we've done baths with him. But

0:51:21.960 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>having a shower with him is so easy and like

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty cute, so both.

0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:28.440
<v Speaker 2>It is nice, a bit of a time saver, I.

0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Say, the shower, Yes, yeah, it is, Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

0:51:32.960 --> 0:51:33.839
<v Speaker 5>What would you guys say?

0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Is your go to when you're both just absolutely exhausted

0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and overwhelmed?

0:51:39.680 --> 0:51:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Like how do you reset?

0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Which I had had a two hour sleep this morning

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:46.080
<v Speaker 2>on the couch. I don't know if I've mentioned that.

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you did.

0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:49.680
<v Speaker 5>As you should.

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm all behind the two hour and now you obviously

0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:53.480
<v Speaker 1>needed it.

0:51:53.920 --> 0:51:56.760
<v Speaker 3>No, evidently it's not often that that happens.

0:51:56.920 --> 0:51:58.279
<v Speaker 2>We actually did something last night.

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:02.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we we watched We had dinner together. Locke made

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:06.520
<v Speaker 3>us delicious salmon bowls, and then we watched a new

0:52:06.560 --> 0:52:09.200
<v Speaker 3>show together because we felt like we hadn't. Really, we've

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 3>spent every waking minute together, but like not real actual

0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:15.520
<v Speaker 3>quality time, and we felt like we really needed a

0:52:15.520 --> 0:52:17.879
<v Speaker 3>bit of that. So we did that last night, which

0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:20.040
<v Speaker 3>was really nice, but it never feels like enough. I

0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:22.520
<v Speaker 3>think that also leads into the later bedtime and then

0:52:22.560 --> 0:52:24.399
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh, we've done it again, but like you're

0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:26.520
<v Speaker 3>trying so hard to get that time in together.

0:52:26.760 --> 0:52:29.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's something we probably struggled. I think is

0:52:29.600 --> 0:52:33.120
<v Speaker 2>just that like connection time with each other because we're

0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:35.560
<v Speaker 2>both so on the go, whether it's like work or

0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:38.479
<v Speaker 2>the boys at all times. And then you know, once

0:52:38.760 --> 0:52:40.640
<v Speaker 2>they're asleep at night and you do all the tidening

0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:42.400
<v Speaker 2>up and the cleaning and the washing and you know,

0:52:42.680 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 2>get the house ready for the next morning. Sometimes I

0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:46.719
<v Speaker 2>duck out to the gym till you know, ten pm

0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:48.720
<v Speaker 2>at night, and then I come home and Jad's getting

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:50.239
<v Speaker 2>into bed and you just don't really have that time.

0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:52.640
<v Speaker 2>So literally Dad had to message me the day before

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:55.279
<v Speaker 2>and be like, you know, tomorrow night, can we lock

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:57.879
<v Speaker 2>in some time together? And you know, I said, yeah,

0:52:57.880 --> 0:52:59.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, noways like you know, I'll cook dinner and

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:01.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll it down and we literally just had a cuddle

0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:05.239
<v Speaker 2>on the like on our literal living room floor and

0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:08.120
<v Speaker 2>just watched the watch the show together for about an

0:53:08.120 --> 0:53:11.640
<v Speaker 2>hour and then yeah, that's about it. That's how. That's

0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:13.399
<v Speaker 2>how we had a little reset. And it feels nice

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:15.799
<v Speaker 2>just to yeah, just I don't know, carve out that,

0:53:15.880 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 2>even if it was only like probably ninety minutes together.

0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:20.839
<v Speaker 2>And it says it's a nice little reset and connection point.

0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 5>That sounds like absolute bliss and.

0:53:23.320 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back anytime to ask more questions and we can

0:53:26.000 --> 0:53:28.279

0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 2>definitely a wild ride.

0:53:37.520 --> 0:53:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, hav my seat belts fast fast, thanks, and

0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I have the best.

0:53:42.400 --> 0:53:49.360
<v Speaker 3>Reading does by.

0:53:52.520 --> 0:53:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Alright, guys, let's end the week with us trying to

0:53:54.880 --> 0:53:56.839
<v Speaker 2>help someone else. All right, this asked mom and dad

0:53:56.880 --> 0:53:58.879
<v Speaker 2>came in and it says, hey, Lock, got a mom

0:53:58.920 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and dad question for you. Firstly, love the Pods, huge,

0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:04.160
<v Speaker 2>congrats on the house. Basically, me and my boyfriend have

0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:05.839
<v Speaker 2>been together for three and a half years and it's

0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:09.040
<v Speaker 2>going strong. We're planning on moving in together next year,

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:11.319
<v Speaker 2>but due to one of his flatmates having to move

0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 2>home quite suddenly, he's now moving in with me and

0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:15.960
<v Speaker 2>my flatmate in the next few weeks. It makes sense

0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:18.239
<v Speaker 2>and I'm super excited. But my home has always been

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:20.760
<v Speaker 2>my safe space. I like it very tidy and decorated

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in a certain way. It's also a huge change in

0:54:23.200 --> 0:54:25.440
<v Speaker 2>our relationship and I want it to go well. Do

0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you guys have any tips from when you and Jad

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 2>first moved in together and how you navigated living with

0:54:30.520 --> 0:54:33.080
<v Speaker 2>your partner for the first time. Thanks.

0:54:34.440 --> 0:54:37.720
<v Speaker 3>So he's moved in earlier and anticipated.

0:54:37.080 --> 0:54:39.879
<v Speaker 2>And y in a half years it's going really well.

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:42.160
<v Speaker 2>They plan to move in together, but something's happened in

0:54:42.239 --> 0:54:45.760
<v Speaker 2>his life. It's forcing the move earlier. She's still excited

0:54:45.760 --> 0:54:48.239
<v Speaker 2>about it. But essentially just like, yeah, what were things

0:54:48.239 --> 0:54:50.399
<v Speaker 2>that made moving with your partner for the first time

0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:50.920
<v Speaker 2>go well?

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I guess well, in terms of like decor and cleanliness,

0:54:58.120 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 3>Locke was never an issue with that, because.

0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:01.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, do a schedule that.

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I think Locke was always respectful of the space.

0:55:08.920 --> 0:55:11.839
<v Speaker 2>When we first moved in together, I moved into Jad's apartments. Yeah,

0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:14.400
<v Speaker 2>she was already somewhere and I was living with a mate.

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:16.759
<v Speaker 2>And then when my lease run out with him, we'd

0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:20.080
<v Speaker 2>been together about a year and a half, and it was.

0:55:20.080 --> 0:55:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Like, hey, felt like we'd be living together already.

0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we were doing every night in someone's house, you

0:55:25.080 --> 0:55:25.520
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean.

0:55:25.520 --> 0:55:27.120
<v Speaker 3>But there were like maybe one or two nights a

0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:30.120
<v Speaker 3>week rarely that we'd be spending alone.

0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:31.400
<v Speaker 2>But it was kind of like, you know, are you

0:55:31.560 --> 0:55:33.560
<v Speaker 2>going to rent somewhere else again with your mate or

0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:34.960
<v Speaker 2>are we going to do this? At a year and

0:55:35.000 --> 0:55:36.560
<v Speaker 2>a half, we were like, hey, let's do it, you know.

0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:39.719
<v Speaker 2>But it was her space. She was very particular, and

0:55:39.800 --> 0:55:42.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, she likes things looking nice and being nice.

0:55:42.400 --> 0:55:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And I moved from like a lad's house which literally

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:47.319
<v Speaker 2>had like a bed, a couch, a TV. I didn't

0:55:47.360 --> 0:55:49.799
<v Speaker 2>care how the place looked. So when I went into

0:55:49.840 --> 0:55:52.319
<v Speaker 2>her house, I guess I was respectful and she can

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:55.520
<v Speaker 2>have it however she wants, yes, And I wasn't kind of.

0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Like trying to come to the styling and flex.

0:55:57.840 --> 0:55:59.800
<v Speaker 2>My muscles around and try and put stuff up. And

0:56:00.080 --> 0:56:02.040
<v Speaker 2>she also just said this is when she was in

0:56:02.120 --> 0:56:04.320
<v Speaker 2>my place, she was like, that's not coming, that's not coming.

0:56:04.520 --> 0:56:06.520
<v Speaker 2>That poster is not coming. We can't have Michael.

0:56:06.360 --> 0:56:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Jordan were stuck on the poster. I do feel bad

0:56:09.040 --> 0:56:09.480
<v Speaker 3>about the point.

0:56:09.560 --> 0:56:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she made me get rid of this poster with

0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Michael Jordan and it.

0:56:12.840 --> 0:56:14.359
<v Speaker 3>Was where was it going to go? In ther partment?

0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:17.799
<v Speaker 2>And it said it said like I've had quote those

0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:19.719
<v Speaker 2>X amount of shots in my time. I've missed over

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and over again in my life. I've failed and that's

0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:23.480
<v Speaker 2>why I succeed. And it was the best quote ever

0:56:23.520 --> 0:56:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and I was the best poster in JAD May we

0:56:24.880 --> 0:56:25.359
<v Speaker 2>throw it out?

0:56:25.600 --> 0:56:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Sorry? I feel bad about that.

0:56:27.120 --> 0:56:29.319
<v Speaker 2>So things like that, but I also think like, yeah,

0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:31.839
<v Speaker 2>just just be excited about it. And there might be

0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:34.960
<v Speaker 2>like a transitional period, Like we actually have a mate

0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:38.719
<v Speaker 2>who recently moved in with a partner and they went

0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:41.600
<v Speaker 2>through a you know, a transition stage where obviously, like

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:43.840
<v Speaker 2>when you go from living in your own space and

0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:46.120
<v Speaker 2>doing things your own way and then you have two

0:56:46.160 --> 0:56:48.480
<v Speaker 2>people come together who still want to do things their

0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:50.480
<v Speaker 2>own way and think it's their own space, Like, obviously

0:56:50.480 --> 0:56:53.279
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be a little collision point and there's

0:56:53.320 --> 0:56:54.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be like a period that you're going to

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:57.160
<v Speaker 2>have to navigate together. But that's normal, Like everyone's going

0:56:57.239 --> 0:56:58.799
<v Speaker 2>to go through that, So don't think that like if

0:56:58.840 --> 0:57:00.919
<v Speaker 2>you hit a little rough patch or if you're having

0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.719
<v Speaker 2>a few little niggly arguments about little things like oh

0:57:03.800 --> 0:57:05.640
<v Speaker 2>my god, that's like we shouldn't have moved in together.

0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Like everyone goes through that, you know, Like my friends

0:57:07.840 --> 0:57:10.160
<v Speaker 2>are thirty three and going through it, so I'm sure

0:57:10.160 --> 0:57:12.360
<v Speaker 2>you'd go through it at twenty two, twenty five whatever

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:14.799
<v Speaker 2>it is. So yeah, I don't know. I mean, you

0:57:14.880 --> 0:57:17.200
<v Speaker 2>might be surprised, and your partner might not care and

0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:19.680
<v Speaker 2>might be happy to let you just have it however

0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you want, and might be super respectful.

0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Dare I say most men don't care?

0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And yeah.

0:57:26.360 --> 0:57:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Cleanliness is one thing, though, that's different, Like he needs

0:57:30.000 --> 0:57:31.960
<v Speaker 3>to like wash his dishes and stuff. It's not like

0:57:32.040 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 3>the his towel in an underwear is going to be

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:36.200
<v Speaker 3>left on the floor dirty, you know, every day, Like

0:57:36.200 --> 0:57:39.520
<v Speaker 3>that's not on. Have some house rules if that starts happening.

0:57:39.680 --> 0:57:41.680
<v Speaker 3>But I think to call wise, like you should be

0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 3>all good. If he wants to like contribute a poster,

0:57:44.120 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 3>maybe that's worth having a conversation about.

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:46.520
<v Speaker 2>In the garage.

0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly, But I think for the most part, you

0:57:51.040 --> 0:57:54.680
<v Speaker 3>don't need to necessarily worry about things that aren't issues yet. Yeah,

0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:58.560
<v Speaker 3>just let it, like, can't let it pan out? And

0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:01.240
<v Speaker 3>then if something arise, deal with it then and just

0:58:01.320 --> 0:58:03.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, sit down and have a conversation about it, like, hey,

0:58:03.640 --> 0:58:05.680
<v Speaker 3>this is kind of how I expect things to kind

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:09.320
<v Speaker 3>of go. And you know, I respect my place and

0:58:09.360 --> 0:58:12.160
<v Speaker 3>I you know, hope you do too. You know, it's

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:14.640
<v Speaker 3>our home together now and I want it to be

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:16.720
<v Speaker 3>clean and tidy and blah blah blah.

0:58:16.800 --> 0:58:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I just think, Yeah, the main expectation of it not

0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:21.080
<v Speaker 2>being perfect from the start. You know, it's going to

0:58:21.080 --> 0:58:24.240
<v Speaker 2>take time. Yeah that too, Like living with friends is hard,

0:58:24.280 --> 0:58:27.000
<v Speaker 2>living with a partners hard, like finding any finding the

0:58:27.040 --> 0:58:30.560
<v Speaker 2>groove is hard, you know, So expect that little transition

0:58:30.640 --> 0:58:33.360
<v Speaker 2>period where you're finding your feet and yeah, it's an

0:58:33.400 --> 0:58:35.680
<v Speaker 2>exciting time, like coming so you have fun. Coming home

0:58:35.720 --> 0:58:37.400
<v Speaker 2>to your partner at the end of the day is

0:58:37.440 --> 0:58:38.040
<v Speaker 2>like the best thing.

0:58:37.920 --> 0:58:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Ever to know that you share a home together.

0:58:40.160 --> 0:58:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Y look forward to that and all the good stuff

0:58:43.040 --> 0:58:45.640
<v Speaker 2>will come pouring out and enjoy well the best with

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the move. Hope it goes well and hopefully you're still

0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:51.640
<v Speaker 2>together in six months time. Guys, that's all we.

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Have for you.

0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Hope you being part of our therapy session.

0:58:55.040 --> 0:58:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we do.

0:58:56.000 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I reckon Like every third fourth week is.

0:58:57.760 --> 0:58:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Essentially that was like a proper one though. That was it.

0:59:00.040 --> 0:59:00.800
<v Speaker 3>That was It was nice.

0:59:00.840 --> 0:59:02.280
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's free of charge.

0:59:02.560 --> 0:59:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, to do that sometimes i'm feeling therapized.

0:59:05.320 --> 0:59:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Technically we actually got paid for it, so that's pretty cool.

0:59:08.320 --> 0:59:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Amazing.

0:59:08.960 --> 0:59:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, but thank you, as always, means a lot.

0:59:12.280 --> 0:59:14.440
