1
00:00:08,234 --> 00:00:18,194
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Mom with mea podcast.

2
00:00:15,914 --> 00:00:19,794
Speaker 2: High Out Louders. Today is not a regular record day,

3
00:00:19,954 --> 00:00:22,554
Speaker 2: so we are giving you a special little treat for

4
00:00:22,594 --> 00:00:26,074
Speaker 2: your Monday instead. Some of you have been back at

5
00:00:26,114 --> 00:00:29,834
Speaker 2: your desks for a few weeks, while others are hanging

6
00:00:29,874 --> 00:00:33,434
Speaker 2: on by a thread through the final days of school holidays.

7
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:37,514
Speaker 2: But either way, we are all staring down the barrel

8
00:00:37,714 --> 00:00:41,034
Speaker 2: of another year. So I wanted to share a conversation

9
00:00:41,354 --> 00:00:44,873
Speaker 2: that I had recently with Amelia Lester and Claire Murphy,

10
00:00:45,434 --> 00:00:49,993
Speaker 2: and we deep dived into the simple, actually doable hacks

11
00:00:50,193 --> 00:00:50,993
Speaker 2: that might.

12
00:00:51,193 --> 00:00:54,914
Speaker 1: Just transform your working life. I am obsessed with this stuff.

13
00:00:55,354 --> 00:00:58,954
Speaker 2: Claire and Amelia work so differently to me, have worked

14
00:00:58,954 --> 00:01:02,353
Speaker 2: in so many different workplaces, and so to get their wisdom,

15
00:01:02,514 --> 00:01:04,874
Speaker 2: I felt like, really set me up for twenty twenty

16
00:01:04,914 --> 00:01:10,434
Speaker 2: six plus Vernon. Claire Murphy and I had a hilarious

17
00:01:10,514 --> 00:01:14,514
Speaker 2: chat about some of the social media channels we love

18
00:01:14,594 --> 00:01:18,154
Speaker 2: scrolling late at night when we should be sleeping, just

19
00:01:18,194 --> 00:01:21,194
Speaker 2: some of the weird stuff that we come across, some

20
00:01:21,394 --> 00:01:25,554
Speaker 2: very helpful, some very funny. It's the niche, oddly satisfying

21
00:01:25,554 --> 00:01:27,834
Speaker 2: content you didn't know you needed. It's fun it's a

22
00:01:27,874 --> 00:01:30,474
Speaker 2: bit weird and we are into it. We hope you

23
00:01:30,634 --> 00:01:33,514
Speaker 2: enjoy Hello out Ladders.

24
00:01:33,634 --> 00:01:38,234
Speaker 3: Today I am joined by Jesse Stevens Hello and Claire Murphy. Hi.

25
00:01:38,874 --> 00:01:40,354
Speaker 3: What I want to talk about today is something that

26
00:01:40,394 --> 00:01:44,274
Speaker 3: I hope will be very practical and useful and helpful

27
00:01:44,714 --> 00:01:47,474
Speaker 3: for listeners who feel like they have too many things

28
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:51,354
Speaker 3: to do. I'm sure that's no one, but I want

29
00:01:51,394 --> 00:01:54,954
Speaker 3: to talk about simple habits that can transform our working lives.

30
00:01:54,954 --> 00:01:56,514
Speaker 3: And the reason I want to talk about that is

31
00:01:56,554 --> 00:01:59,034
Speaker 3: that there was an article in Stylist recently, which is

32
00:01:59,034 --> 00:02:01,754
Speaker 3: a British magazine. It asked a bunch of women for

33
00:02:01,794 --> 00:02:07,034
Speaker 3: their best productivity hacks. And I absolutely love a productivity hair.

34
00:02:07,394 --> 00:02:10,113
Speaker 3: I know you've got some, Jesse and Claire, I don't

35
00:02:10,114 --> 00:02:12,994
Speaker 3: see how you do everything you do without some productivity access.

36
00:02:13,073 --> 00:02:15,474
Speaker 3: So I'm desperate to dive in. But let me first

37
00:02:15,514 --> 00:02:18,594
Speaker 3: share a few of my favorites from the article. A

38
00:02:18,634 --> 00:02:21,914
Speaker 3: woman named Rosanna says that on Sunday she writes all

39
00:02:21,954 --> 00:02:24,834
Speaker 3: of her outcomes for the week ahead down on a

40
00:02:24,834 --> 00:02:27,594
Speaker 3: piece of paper, ideally three and she says it's not

41
00:02:27,634 --> 00:02:29,913
Speaker 3: a to do list, it's more like anchors. It could

42
00:02:29,954 --> 00:02:34,154
Speaker 3: be like brainstorming a new project, or deepening a relationship

43
00:02:34,194 --> 00:02:37,514
Speaker 3: with a client, or making progress in a long term idea,

44
00:02:37,754 --> 00:02:39,514
Speaker 3: and she says it really helps her to focus on

45
00:02:39,554 --> 00:02:41,874
Speaker 3: what actually moves the needle in her life and in

46
00:02:41,914 --> 00:02:44,194
Speaker 3: her working life, rather than just engaging in the busy

47
00:02:44,194 --> 00:02:45,474
Speaker 3: work of clearing out your inbox.

48
00:02:45,594 --> 00:02:47,874
Speaker 2: I like that because I reckon that those big ones,

49
00:02:47,914 --> 00:02:49,994
Speaker 2: they're the ones you never get to. You never get

50
00:02:49,994 --> 00:02:51,714
Speaker 2: to the big ones because you're doing all the little

51
00:02:52,034 --> 00:02:54,073
Speaker 2: kind of the prioritizing so hardbits.

52
00:02:54,194 --> 00:02:56,834
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you will do the easy stuff first, always right.

53
00:02:57,034 --> 00:03:00,754
Speaker 3: Yes, Gina goes for a walk at lunchtime every single day.

54
00:03:00,794 --> 00:03:02,754
Speaker 3: I would hate to do that. Lunchtime is for me

55
00:03:02,874 --> 00:03:05,274
Speaker 3: to go down reddit rabbit holes. It is not to

56
00:03:05,314 --> 00:03:08,274
Speaker 3: get fresh air and exercise. But you, you, Gina. She

57
00:03:08,474 --> 00:03:11,154
Speaker 3: says that it keeps her saying, she doesn't wear headphones,

58
00:03:11,314 --> 00:03:12,034
Speaker 3: she doesn't even.

59
00:03:11,914 --> 00:03:13,954
Speaker 1: Take her She raw dogs a walk.

60
00:03:14,314 --> 00:03:16,594
Speaker 3: She raw dogs a walk, and she says the point

61
00:03:16,634 --> 00:03:18,754
Speaker 3: is to empty your brain and it makes her sharper

62
00:03:18,754 --> 00:03:20,714
Speaker 3: for the afternoon, to which I say, that is the

63
00:03:20,714 --> 00:03:24,314
Speaker 3: point of coffee. But again, Gina, I commend you. And

64
00:03:24,354 --> 00:03:27,234
Speaker 3: then Alice, she does her hair and makeup even on

65
00:03:27,314 --> 00:03:28,594
Speaker 3: work from home days.

66
00:03:29,474 --> 00:03:30,674
Speaker 2: That's really smart.

67
00:03:31,074 --> 00:03:33,674
Speaker 3: That's really smart. I find that when I do put

68
00:03:33,674 --> 00:03:36,754
Speaker 3: on hard pants at home to work as opposed to

69
00:03:36,834 --> 00:03:39,594
Speaker 3: my pajamas, I do feel like it sort of revs

70
00:03:39,634 --> 00:03:40,314
Speaker 3: my brain up.

71
00:03:40,234 --> 00:03:40,634
Speaker 2: A little bit.

72
00:03:40,754 --> 00:03:42,954
Speaker 1: I love the definition of hard pants. I knew exactly

73
00:03:42,954 --> 00:03:43,834
Speaker 1: what you were talking.

74
00:03:43,634 --> 00:03:45,394
Speaker 4: About, Jesse.

75
00:03:45,674 --> 00:03:47,354
Speaker 3: Hit me, what are your productivity secrets?

76
00:03:47,714 --> 00:03:49,234
Speaker 2: I collect these?

77
00:03:49,434 --> 00:03:51,834
Speaker 3: This This is what you have a Google doc, don't you.

78
00:03:51,874 --> 00:03:53,714
Speaker 3: But she've been keeping since you were talking. Oh?

79
00:03:53,754 --> 00:03:56,914
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I feel like I'm one productivity hack away

80
00:03:56,954 --> 00:03:57,554
Speaker 2: from nailing it.

81
00:03:58,074 --> 00:04:00,594
Speaker 3: You know, you've been such a slacker so far, the

82
00:04:00,754 --> 00:04:02,034
Speaker 3: two books and everything.

83
00:04:02,154 --> 00:04:04,914
Speaker 2: You just like it's going to be one app that

84
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:08,234
Speaker 2: someone suggests that I go. There we go. Everything falls

85
00:04:08,234 --> 00:04:11,434
Speaker 2: into place. The big one that I have recommended on

86
00:04:11,474 --> 00:04:15,274
Speaker 2: the show is the app I use, which is to dost, Which.

87
00:04:15,074 --> 00:04:16,113
Speaker 1: Okay, why do I need that?

88
00:04:16,113 --> 00:04:17,394
Speaker 3: Why can't I use the notes Up?

89
00:04:17,594 --> 00:04:20,354
Speaker 2: The reason I really like it Firstly, it's free. Secondly,

90
00:04:20,553 --> 00:04:21,313
Speaker 2: I've got it up.

91
00:04:21,394 --> 00:04:22,274
Speaker 1: This is what I needed.

92
00:04:22,394 --> 00:04:24,674
Speaker 2: I need it up on all my computers, Like I've

93
00:04:24,674 --> 00:04:26,433
Speaker 2: got a home computer, I've got my one at work,

94
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:28,674
Speaker 2: and I've got my phone. I need it on all

95
00:04:28,714 --> 00:04:31,033
Speaker 2: of them. What I was struggling with was when my

96
00:04:31,154 --> 00:04:33,433
Speaker 2: list is only on my phone, or it's only on

97
00:04:33,474 --> 00:04:37,313
Speaker 2: my computer and it's got tabs. So I've got my

98
00:04:38,034 --> 00:04:40,873
Speaker 2: work one. We've also got our grocery list on there.

99
00:04:40,953 --> 00:04:42,553
Speaker 2: Luca and I have a shared one that we can

100
00:04:42,873 --> 00:04:47,553
Speaker 2: throw things on. I need no resistance between Literally, i

101
00:04:47,714 --> 00:04:49,633
Speaker 2: will be in the shower and go, oh my god,

102
00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:51,234
Speaker 2: I forgot to do that thing, and I've just got

103
00:04:51,234 --> 00:04:54,034
Speaker 2: to jot it down immediately, or as I'm drifting off

104
00:04:54,073 --> 00:04:56,713
Speaker 2: to sleep, and it needs to be connected to everything,

105
00:04:56,753 --> 00:04:58,753
Speaker 2: and then I just tick it off as I go.

106
00:04:59,113 --> 00:05:02,234
Speaker 2: That app has changed my life. I really like it.

107
00:05:02,714 --> 00:05:04,833
Speaker 2: I've used other ones that are just too complicated. I

108
00:05:04,914 --> 00:05:07,633
Speaker 2: just need my list In saying that, I find it

109
00:05:07,714 --> 00:05:11,913
Speaker 2: really helpful sometimes because I'll have a bunch and sometimes

110
00:05:11,953 --> 00:05:14,834
Speaker 2: their work and sometimes they're at home if I walk

111
00:05:14,873 --> 00:05:17,234
Speaker 2: in on a Monday morning or whatever, and I like

112
00:05:17,313 --> 00:05:19,993
Speaker 2: to write it with a pen like I like to go, no,

113
00:05:20,113 --> 00:05:22,474
Speaker 2: these are the five things I really need to do today,

114
00:05:22,553 --> 00:05:24,714
Speaker 2: and then put a line through them. I feel like

115
00:05:24,753 --> 00:05:27,273
Speaker 2: that helps me mentally. Do you guys have any apps

116
00:05:27,714 --> 00:05:29,433
Speaker 2: like that you find help with productivity?

117
00:05:29,594 --> 00:05:33,113
Speaker 1: I am the opposite in that I have never kept

118
00:05:33,154 --> 00:05:38,833
Speaker 1: a digital record other than my email inbox as any

119
00:05:38,914 --> 00:05:41,794
Speaker 1: kind of form of help to make sure I've ticked

120
00:05:41,794 --> 00:05:42,433
Speaker 1: off all the things.

121
00:05:42,474 --> 00:05:44,993
Speaker 2: How about your calendar? Are you good with your calendar?

122
00:05:45,113 --> 00:05:47,873
Speaker 1: I am good with my calendar, but that's because other people,

123
00:05:48,113 --> 00:05:50,553
Speaker 1: my colleagues, are putting things in there for me as

124
00:05:50,594 --> 00:05:52,914
Speaker 1: well as me putting things in there. So that's how

125
00:05:52,953 --> 00:05:55,313
Speaker 1: they heard the cat, if you want to put it

126
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:58,914
Speaker 1: that way. But I am a believer in writing things

127
00:05:59,034 --> 00:06:01,833
Speaker 1: down physically, old school. I can't remember where I read it,

128
00:06:01,873 --> 00:06:05,234
Speaker 1: but many years ago I read that physically writing something

129
00:06:05,313 --> 00:06:09,394
Speaker 1: down actually cements more in your brain than typing something.

130
00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:12,313
Speaker 1: So if you can physically write it down, your brain

131
00:06:12,354 --> 00:06:14,273
Speaker 1: is making some kind of connection where it's stored a

132
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:17,674
Speaker 1: little bit better, so it's easier to recall it. So

133
00:06:17,714 --> 00:06:20,594
Speaker 1: for me, physical pen and paper. And it's funny walking

134
00:06:20,633 --> 00:06:23,313
Speaker 1: into meetings at MMA MIA because like, if there is

135
00:06:23,393 --> 00:06:26,153
Speaker 1: a symbol of what it's like to work at Mamma MIA,

136
00:06:26,313 --> 00:06:29,234
Speaker 1: it is like the silhouette of a woman carrying a

137
00:06:29,313 --> 00:06:31,914
Speaker 1: laptop that is what the office looks, balancing on the

138
00:06:31,953 --> 00:06:34,593
Speaker 1: forum on the forearm with their coffee in the other

139
00:06:34,674 --> 00:06:37,234
Speaker 1: That is what Mama Mia looks like. And so there's

140
00:06:37,274 --> 00:06:39,713
Speaker 1: all these people wandering into meetings carrying their laptop. I'm

141
00:06:39,714 --> 00:06:42,873
Speaker 1: the only one with like a notebook and a pen,

142
00:06:43,113 --> 00:06:45,274
Speaker 1: which makes me sound like I'm a million years old.

143
00:06:45,393 --> 00:06:47,394
Speaker 1: I'm not. But it's the best way for me to

144
00:06:47,714 --> 00:06:50,153
Speaker 1: remember anything. And then I've got notes I can refer

145
00:06:50,193 --> 00:06:53,634
Speaker 1: to that can't be automatically suddenly deleted or logged out

146
00:06:53,674 --> 00:06:57,513
Speaker 1: of or lost in a phone move. Like they're physically

147
00:06:57,553 --> 00:07:00,553
Speaker 1: tangible for me. And I take my notebook with me everywhere.

148
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:03,594
Speaker 2: Interesting, how about you, Amelia.

149
00:07:03,154 --> 00:07:06,313
Speaker 3: Yeah, so mine's a little bit related to that. Taylor

150
00:07:06,433 --> 00:07:09,074
Speaker 3: Swift gave some advice recently that I was thinking about.

151
00:07:09,594 --> 00:07:12,274
Speaker 3: I mean, she's very successful and productive.

152
00:07:12,714 --> 00:07:15,154
Speaker 1: Listen to anyone you should be listening to me exactly.

153
00:07:15,274 --> 00:07:17,554
Speaker 3: This was on the podcast that she did with Travis

154
00:07:17,594 --> 00:07:20,554
Speaker 3: Kelsey just before they got engaged, and she said, your

155
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:23,833
Speaker 3: energy is expensive. Treat it like a luxury item that

156
00:07:23,953 --> 00:07:27,074
Speaker 3: not everyone can afford. What you spend your energy on,

157
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:30,994
Speaker 3: that's your day. So the reason or the big thing

158
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:33,914
Speaker 3: I took from that is the idea of when you

159
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:36,034
Speaker 3: spend a lot of energy on something that should be

160
00:07:36,074 --> 00:07:38,914
Speaker 3: the most important thing, that you do that day, So

161
00:07:39,994 --> 00:07:43,394
Speaker 3: that means like, don't do the inbox at nine am.

162
00:07:43,554 --> 00:07:45,554
Speaker 3: Another way of thinking about this is eat the frog.

163
00:07:45,634 --> 00:07:48,554
Speaker 3: You're meant to do the like hard challenging task that

164
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:52,154
Speaker 3: actually stimulates your brain. First thing. If that's when your

165
00:07:52,194 --> 00:07:54,634
Speaker 3: best or if you're best late at night, do the

166
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:58,114
Speaker 3: most important task then and then. One way I ensure

167
00:07:58,194 --> 00:08:01,994
Speaker 3: that my life energies are being distributed correctly is that

168
00:08:02,074 --> 00:08:05,674
Speaker 3: I have a paper diary, just like you, Claire, and

169
00:08:05,874 --> 00:08:07,953
Speaker 3: I like to look at the whole month. I actually

170
00:08:07,953 --> 00:08:10,554
Speaker 3: just used the first few pages of this diary because

171
00:08:10,594 --> 00:08:13,474
Speaker 3: I just look month by month, and particularly when I'm

172
00:08:13,474 --> 00:08:17,114
Speaker 3: trying to integrate like family commitments with work commitments, if

173
00:08:17,154 --> 00:08:18,834
Speaker 3: you can see the month at a glance, you can

174
00:08:18,874 --> 00:08:21,074
Speaker 3: tell instantly like, Okay, this is a month where I

175
00:08:21,074 --> 00:08:22,393
Speaker 3: have a lot of work to do. Well, this is

176
00:08:22,393 --> 00:08:23,954
Speaker 3: a month where I've got a lot of stuff with.

177
00:08:24,154 --> 00:08:25,793
Speaker 1: Which you can't on my calendar.

178
00:08:25,794 --> 00:08:27,514
Speaker 2: I have no sense until I get to it and

179
00:08:27,554 --> 00:08:29,953
Speaker 2: I go, how did I end up having something every

180
00:08:29,994 --> 00:08:30,474
Speaker 2: night this week?

181
00:08:30,554 --> 00:08:32,594
Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly, And so like you can be like, oh,

182
00:08:32,634 --> 00:08:34,514
Speaker 3: I'm going out too many times that week, I need

183
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:36,914
Speaker 3: to change that or whatever, and so I just like

184
00:08:36,994 --> 00:08:41,034
Speaker 3: the idea of being very diligent and aware of where

185
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:44,634
Speaker 3: I am giving my energy and being able to at

186
00:08:44,674 --> 00:08:46,634
Speaker 3: a glance tell where I'm distributing it.

187
00:08:46,994 --> 00:08:50,234
Speaker 2: I saw something on Substack recently that said, I feel

188
00:08:50,234 --> 00:08:54,594
Speaker 2: like everyone is twenty Pomodoros from achieving their dream, and

189
00:08:54,634 --> 00:08:57,514
Speaker 2: I thought that is so accurate. We've talked about the

190
00:08:57,514 --> 00:09:00,554
Speaker 2: Pomodoro method before on this show, which is setting your

191
00:09:00,594 --> 00:09:03,634
Speaker 2: time up. It changes for everyone, but I do like, say,

192
00:09:03,674 --> 00:09:06,034
Speaker 2: twenty minutes, and then once you're in anything for twenty minutes,

193
00:09:06,074 --> 00:09:09,474
Speaker 2: it's not so painful. How you wrote your books, Yeah, yeah, timer.

194
00:09:09,754 --> 00:09:12,714
Speaker 2: So I still if there's a job that I really

195
00:09:12,714 --> 00:09:15,474
Speaker 2: don't want to do that i'm finding I'm resisting, I'll

196
00:09:15,474 --> 00:09:18,074
Speaker 2: go I can do anything for twenty minutes, and then

197
00:09:18,114 --> 00:09:19,953
Speaker 2: I set the timer. I don't look at it like

198
00:09:19,994 --> 00:09:22,554
Speaker 2: I've got it out of reach. And my test is

199
00:09:22,594 --> 00:09:24,554
Speaker 2: that I don't really want to look at it until it's,

200
00:09:24,594 --> 00:09:25,554
Speaker 2: you know, twenty.

201
00:09:25,274 --> 00:09:26,034
Speaker 1: Five or something.

202
00:09:26,434 --> 00:09:31,154
Speaker 2: And so doing those small installments I find really helps.

203
00:09:31,234 --> 00:09:34,874
Speaker 2: And I think what changed my relationship to that was

204
00:09:35,034 --> 00:09:38,474
Speaker 2: caw Newport's work on Deep Work. He writes a lot

205
00:09:38,594 --> 00:09:43,354
Speaker 2: about the cost of interruptions throughout a workday, which I

206
00:09:43,474 --> 00:09:45,674
Speaker 2: find I'm one of those people that needs to work

207
00:09:45,674 --> 00:09:50,474
Speaker 2: in silence, Like I find any sort of concentration is

208
00:09:50,514 --> 00:09:53,954
Speaker 2: incompatible with an open plan office, so having my headphones

209
00:09:53,994 --> 00:09:56,794
Speaker 2: on and having white noise, some people do brown noise

210
00:09:56,794 --> 00:09:59,354
Speaker 2: whatever to just have a bit of silence and to

211
00:09:59,434 --> 00:10:02,594
Speaker 2: go pink noise, like I almost have to go this

212
00:10:02,754 --> 00:10:06,994
Speaker 2: is deep work time, because treating stuff that really needs

213
00:10:07,714 --> 00:10:11,114
Speaker 2: thinking and marinating as though it's just another thing to

214
00:10:11,154 --> 00:10:13,794
Speaker 2: tick off, I don't find that works like I've got

215
00:10:13,834 --> 00:10:15,794
Speaker 2: to operate very differently in those moments.

216
00:10:16,034 --> 00:10:20,474
Speaker 1: I also feel like I have structured my entire work

217
00:10:20,514 --> 00:10:24,274
Speaker 1: life to suit my personality. So that's how I know

218
00:10:24,314 --> 00:10:26,394
Speaker 1: I'll never be able to write a book that's not

219
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:29,354
Speaker 1: in my DNA. The way I work, and I have

220
00:10:29,474 --> 00:10:32,834
Speaker 1: purposely structured it even now. So obviously I used to

221
00:10:32,874 --> 00:10:35,394
Speaker 1: host our daily news podcast, which would take up a

222
00:10:35,394 --> 00:10:38,274
Speaker 1: lot of my day, but now I host our women's

223
00:10:38,274 --> 00:10:41,194
Speaker 1: health podcast well, and that meant I was going from

224
00:10:41,274 --> 00:10:45,914
Speaker 1: having strict daily deadlines to a weekly deadline, and I

225
00:10:45,954 --> 00:10:48,434
Speaker 1: was like, what how am I even going to exist

226
00:10:48,474 --> 00:10:53,194
Speaker 1: in this new world? So I maneuvered myself so that

227
00:10:53,234 --> 00:10:56,514
Speaker 1: I still do the quickies news headlines every morning, so

228
00:10:56,634 --> 00:10:58,554
Speaker 1: I have a port of call every morning. I get

229
00:10:58,634 --> 00:11:00,714
Speaker 1: up early. I have a deadline at six am. That

230
00:11:00,834 --> 00:11:03,194
Speaker 1: is the first thing I achieve every single day.

231
00:11:03,794 --> 00:11:06,754
Speaker 3: And then sorry, you have a deadline at six am? Yes,

232
00:11:07,754 --> 00:11:09,274
Speaker 3: what time do you wake up?

233
00:11:09,634 --> 00:11:10,354
Speaker 1: Just after four?

234
00:11:10,874 --> 00:11:12,074
Speaker 3: And do you like that?

235
00:11:12,554 --> 00:11:14,954
Speaker 4: Or mission?

236
00:11:16,154 --> 00:11:17,234
Speaker 1: Should I like that?

237
00:11:17,714 --> 00:11:17,754
Speaker 3: No?

238
00:11:18,394 --> 00:11:20,394
Speaker 1: But I do like I just have to drag my

239
00:11:20,394 --> 00:11:21,994
Speaker 1: ass out of bed every day. And I've had this

240
00:11:22,034 --> 00:11:24,514
Speaker 1: early deadline for a really long time, like decades now,

241
00:11:24,514 --> 00:11:28,914
Speaker 1: because I've worked in radio news radio. So now if

242
00:11:28,954 --> 00:11:31,234
Speaker 1: I do not get up at four am Monday to

243
00:11:31,274 --> 00:11:34,994
Speaker 1: Friday and have that deadline by six am achieved, I

244
00:11:35,074 --> 00:11:38,394
Speaker 1: can't get started. I don't know what my first thing

245
00:11:38,474 --> 00:11:40,074
Speaker 1: to do is every day if I've got a whole

246
00:11:40,074 --> 00:11:42,194
Speaker 1: bunch of things, but if I can get up achieve it.

247
00:11:42,194 --> 00:11:45,034
Speaker 1: And this I think the military has something like this,

248
00:11:45,114 --> 00:11:48,394
Speaker 1: where you get up, you make your bed immediately, Like

249
00:11:48,434 --> 00:11:50,794
Speaker 1: there's this structure that you should do by a certain

250
00:11:50,834 --> 00:11:53,394
Speaker 1: time every morning so that you've achieved certain things already,

251
00:11:53,434 --> 00:11:56,074
Speaker 1: and that level of achievement then spurs you onto the

252
00:11:56,114 --> 00:12:00,234
Speaker 1: next level of achievement. So I need that deadline every

253
00:12:00,234 --> 00:12:03,154
Speaker 1: single day to get me kickstarted to the next thing.

254
00:12:03,714 --> 00:12:06,274
Speaker 1: And so it's my meatum. It is momentum, and once

255
00:12:06,274 --> 00:12:09,194
Speaker 1: I've started, there's no stopping me. I can get through

256
00:12:09,234 --> 00:12:11,714
Speaker 1: a million things a day, and I work better. Like

257
00:12:11,754 --> 00:12:13,514
Speaker 1: if someone says to me, like one of our social

258
00:12:13,594 --> 00:12:14,914
Speaker 1: letters has said to me the other day, we need

259
00:12:14,954 --> 00:12:16,754
Speaker 1: you to make this video, and I was like cool,

260
00:12:17,034 --> 00:12:19,914
Speaker 1: but she didn't give me a deadline, and so I

261
00:12:19,954 --> 00:12:21,754
Speaker 1: found myself floundering a little bit. And then she would

262
00:12:21,794 --> 00:12:23,114
Speaker 1: check and be like, hey, have you done that video.

263
00:12:23,114 --> 00:12:25,194
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'm so sorry. I'll get onto

264
00:12:25,194 --> 00:12:26,434
Speaker 1: that today. And then by the end of the day

265
00:12:26,434 --> 00:12:28,274
Speaker 1: she's like, did you do that video? And I'm like, shit, no,

266
00:12:28,354 --> 00:12:30,194
Speaker 1: I didn't. And so I sat in a meeting with

267
00:12:30,194 --> 00:12:33,034
Speaker 1: her and I said, can you tell me what day

268
00:12:33,114 --> 00:12:35,074
Speaker 1: and what time you need it by, and I can

269
00:12:35,194 --> 00:12:38,594
Speaker 1: guarantee you you will get it before that time, because

270
00:12:38,634 --> 00:12:41,954
Speaker 1: it's now part of my structure and I know that

271
00:12:41,954 --> 00:12:43,834
Speaker 1: that needs to be done. So I've got to have

272
00:12:43,914 --> 00:12:45,514
Speaker 1: really strict deadlines with myself.

273
00:12:45,914 --> 00:12:48,634
Speaker 2: I think knowing yourself and how you work is such

274
00:12:48,674 --> 00:12:52,314
Speaker 2: a good point. I read something years ago about nomadic workers,

275
00:12:52,874 --> 00:12:55,634
Speaker 2: and by that it meant a lot of us aren't

276
00:12:56,114 --> 00:12:58,714
Speaker 2: built to sit at the same desk for eight hours,

277
00:12:58,794 --> 00:13:01,714
Speaker 2: and like work three different tasks. I move a lot

278
00:13:01,834 --> 00:13:03,914
Speaker 2: throughout the day. So like whether it's I moved to

279
00:13:03,914 --> 00:13:06,114
Speaker 2: different rooms, I moved to this couch, I moved to

280
00:13:06,114 --> 00:13:08,794
Speaker 2: the kitchen. It is like the chain of environment inspires

281
00:13:08,914 --> 00:13:12,194
Speaker 2: kind of this like burst of energy that I can

282
00:13:12,194 --> 00:13:13,394
Speaker 2: next chapter in your day.

283
00:13:13,834 --> 00:13:14,154
Speaker 1: Yeah.

284
00:13:14,434 --> 00:13:15,834
Speaker 2: The other thing I've been trying to do now that

285
00:13:15,834 --> 00:13:18,154
Speaker 2: the sun's out is like, especially if I have something

286
00:13:18,194 --> 00:13:21,194
Speaker 2: to think about or something to decide, or like let's

287
00:13:21,194 --> 00:13:23,274
Speaker 2: say we've got a meeting coming up and we've got

288
00:13:23,274 --> 00:13:25,914
Speaker 2: some things that we're going to discuss, I'll be like,

289
00:13:26,634 --> 00:13:28,954
Speaker 2: no point thinking about that at your desk. Walk around

290
00:13:28,954 --> 00:13:31,954
Speaker 2: the block. I think best when I walk, So I

291
00:13:32,074 --> 00:13:34,994
Speaker 2: just do that as many times throughout the day as

292
00:13:35,194 --> 00:13:37,954
Speaker 2: I can, because I find that the movement stimulates thinking

293
00:13:37,954 --> 00:13:38,234
Speaker 2: a bit.

294
00:13:38,874 --> 00:13:42,314
Speaker 3: I love how we took this in very philosophical directions.

295
00:13:42,634 --> 00:13:45,594
Speaker 3: I want to leave our audience with some concrete quick

296
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:48,514
Speaker 3: takeaways too, So let's do a rapid fire around and

297
00:13:48,634 --> 00:13:50,274
Speaker 3: let's start with you, Jesse.

298
00:13:50,594 --> 00:13:53,194
Speaker 2: Okay, write everything you need to do the next day

299
00:13:53,674 --> 00:13:56,234
Speaker 2: before you leave work. In fact, I've heard this about writing,

300
00:13:56,234 --> 00:13:58,194
Speaker 2: and I think it's a trick for things. Is like,

301
00:13:58,834 --> 00:14:02,194
Speaker 2: also leave tasks half done, because you've got the momentum

302
00:14:02,234 --> 00:14:04,514
Speaker 2: when you get there the next day. So if there's

303
00:14:04,554 --> 00:14:06,234
Speaker 2: something you really don't want to start the next day,

304
00:14:06,394 --> 00:14:07,994
Speaker 2: just two five minutes of it and then when you

305
00:14:08,154 --> 00:14:10,074
Speaker 2: turn up, you've already got a head start.

306
00:14:10,234 --> 00:14:11,954
Speaker 1: I think that helps to add to that. Even if

307
00:14:11,994 --> 00:14:14,034
Speaker 1: you open up if it's to write something, open up

308
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:16,274
Speaker 1: a document, give it a title and the first line,

309
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:18,874
Speaker 1: and it's already yeah yeah, And then next day you're like,

310
00:14:18,954 --> 00:14:19,634
Speaker 1: it's already there.

311
00:14:19,994 --> 00:14:23,074
Speaker 2: You're in it, definitely pomidoro, whether it's five whether it's

312
00:14:23,194 --> 00:14:27,314
Speaker 2: twenty minutes. And my other one is whether it's emails

313
00:14:27,314 --> 00:14:30,554
Speaker 2: slack messages, leave them unread until you have a chance

314
00:14:30,594 --> 00:14:34,594
Speaker 2: to reply, because the trail of things that you look

315
00:14:34,594 --> 00:14:37,514
Speaker 2: at and go, I'll get to that, you won't experience

316
00:14:37,554 --> 00:14:39,554
Speaker 2: it as a to do list. And this is a

317
00:14:39,594 --> 00:14:40,914
Speaker 2: really unpopular opinion.

318
00:14:41,394 --> 00:14:42,314
Speaker 1: I don't organize.

319
00:14:42,354 --> 00:14:44,194
Speaker 2: You know, people are really organized with their inbox and

320
00:14:44,194 --> 00:14:46,994
Speaker 2: they sought things. I don't sort things. I read it,

321
00:14:47,314 --> 00:14:50,434
Speaker 2: I reply or I archive it. That's it. And I'm

322
00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:52,634
Speaker 2: ruthless with what I reply to. So I'm not doing

323
00:14:52,674 --> 00:14:54,994
Speaker 2: folders and shit free from the U clerk.

324
00:14:56,674 --> 00:15:00,714
Speaker 1: My advice is to organize your inbox. I know that's

325
00:15:01,354 --> 00:15:03,914
Speaker 1: the opposite of what you just said. There is nothing

326
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:06,794
Speaker 1: more distracting. And I can only liken this to like

327
00:15:07,234 --> 00:15:09,074
Speaker 1: still being at high school, like year twelve, and knowing

328
00:15:09,114 --> 00:15:12,074
Speaker 1: you have assignments to you, or there's an exam coming

329
00:15:12,114 --> 00:15:14,034
Speaker 1: up and you can't quite finish it because you know

330
00:15:14,074 --> 00:15:16,234
Speaker 1: all that other stuff is just sitting there. That's how

331
00:15:16,234 --> 00:15:18,834
Speaker 1: people view their email inbox. And there is even a

332
00:15:18,914 --> 00:15:21,954
Speaker 1: day dedicated to responding to emails that you've left for

333
00:15:21,994 --> 00:15:24,514
Speaker 1: too long, and you get kind of an amnesty on that.

334
00:15:24,994 --> 00:15:28,434
Speaker 1: But this just file shit like it's not that hard.

335
00:15:28,474 --> 00:15:30,874
Speaker 1: All you've got to do is make some folders, make

336
00:15:30,914 --> 00:15:32,754
Speaker 1: sure that you file things in a way that works

337
00:15:32,754 --> 00:15:35,154
Speaker 1: for you. For me, it's putting it under people's names.

338
00:15:35,194 --> 00:15:37,434
Speaker 1: I know who my priorities are when it comes to

339
00:15:37,474 --> 00:15:39,874
Speaker 1: my colleagues, so I put it under their name. I

340
00:15:39,914 --> 00:15:41,594
Speaker 1: know that I have to respond to that thing, or

341
00:15:41,634 --> 00:15:43,554
Speaker 1: I can do it immediately and then just delete it

342
00:15:43,634 --> 00:15:45,994
Speaker 1: or shift it out. I leave them unread in their

343
00:15:46,034 --> 00:15:47,914
Speaker 1: folder if I know it still needs to be addressed,

344
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,514
Speaker 1: but clear out your freaking inbox where you can get

345
00:15:50,554 --> 00:15:52,914
Speaker 1: it out of your brain you can focus on other stuff.

346
00:15:53,474 --> 00:16:00,154
Speaker 1: My other thing is I have never allowed notifications from

347
00:16:00,234 --> 00:16:04,754
Speaker 1: work apps on my phone. They've never been enabled on

348
00:16:04,794 --> 00:16:05,314
Speaker 1: my phone.

349
00:16:05,354 --> 00:16:07,994
Speaker 2: That's so interesting given your own news journo too, so

350
00:16:08,074 --> 00:16:09,874
Speaker 2: you would think that if anyone needed them, it would

351
00:16:09,874 --> 00:16:10,074
Speaker 2: be you.

352
00:16:10,234 --> 00:16:14,234
Speaker 1: It's not news notifications. I'm subscribed to a billion breaking

353
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:16,674
Speaker 1: news things that I will get fed stories all day,

354
00:16:16,674 --> 00:16:19,114
Speaker 1: every day, and that's totally fine. What I mean is

355
00:16:19,154 --> 00:16:23,274
Speaker 1: your colleagues who might be asking you for little things,

356
00:16:23,314 --> 00:16:26,274
Speaker 1: big things, whatever it is I do not have, so

357
00:16:26,314 --> 00:16:29,234
Speaker 1: we use slack it MoMA Mia. I have never enabled

358
00:16:29,754 --> 00:16:33,474
Speaker 1: slack notifications on my phone. I don't allow my phone

359
00:16:33,514 --> 00:16:35,634
Speaker 1: to become the distraction. I also turn off lots of

360
00:16:35,674 --> 00:16:39,154
Speaker 1: social media notifications too, because that on top of that is,

361
00:16:39,274 --> 00:16:41,794
Speaker 1: you know, a notification that would take me away from

362
00:16:41,794 --> 00:16:44,154
Speaker 1: whatever it is I'm trying to focus on. The Other

363
00:16:44,194 --> 00:16:48,474
Speaker 1: thing is like, just say no to stuff. I have

364
00:16:48,594 --> 00:16:51,354
Speaker 1: been and I grew up in the era of like

365
00:16:51,394 --> 00:16:54,194
Speaker 1: I'm a young gen X or an old millennial, whichever

366
00:16:54,234 --> 00:16:56,074
Speaker 1: way you want to look at it, and so I've

367
00:16:56,114 --> 00:16:58,874
Speaker 1: grown up in this era of you do as you're told.

368
00:16:59,034 --> 00:17:00,874
Speaker 1: You take on all the tasks when you're asked to.

369
00:17:01,274 --> 00:17:03,754
Speaker 1: You don't say no, you don't push back because that

370
00:17:03,834 --> 00:17:06,234
Speaker 1: will be seen as you being a non team player

371
00:17:06,314 --> 00:17:09,954
Speaker 1: or a shitty employee. And now I've realized, like even

372
00:17:10,033 --> 00:17:13,553
Speaker 1: just today, we had one of our managers say to me,

373
00:17:13,634 --> 00:17:15,593
Speaker 1: can you do this thing on Thursday? And I said no,

374
00:17:15,874 --> 00:17:18,354
Speaker 1: I'm doing this other thing. Whereas like ten years ago,

375
00:17:18,354 --> 00:17:19,714
Speaker 1: I would have been like, oh my god, Okay, how

376
00:17:19,714 --> 00:17:21,314
Speaker 1: do I fit that all in? If I move that

377
00:17:21,434 --> 00:17:23,273
Speaker 1: and do that and switch that out, I could probably

378
00:17:23,314 --> 00:17:23,914
Speaker 1: make that work.

379
00:17:24,154 --> 00:17:25,874
Speaker 2: Claire, I think we said no to the same thing.

380
00:17:26,114 --> 00:17:27,594
Speaker 1: Did we say no?

381
00:17:28,434 --> 00:17:31,234
Speaker 2: We probably did, And now she's fucked. But we are

382
00:17:31,234 --> 00:17:32,394
Speaker 2: having a great daft But.

383
00:17:32,354 --> 00:17:34,954
Speaker 1: Our mental health is fabulous and that's all that matters.

384
00:17:34,994 --> 00:17:37,354
Speaker 1: But also just means like you don't cram so much

385
00:17:37,394 --> 00:17:40,513
Speaker 1: into your to do list that you've got to start

386
00:17:40,554 --> 00:17:42,914
Speaker 1: maneuvering and thinking of other ways to get around things

387
00:17:42,954 --> 00:17:45,273
Speaker 1: like stick to what you're doing and doing it well,

388
00:17:45,554 --> 00:17:47,994
Speaker 1: and don't care if you're not taking on everyone else's work.

389
00:17:47,994 --> 00:17:48,674
Speaker 1: At the same time.

390
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:51,074
Speaker 3: I love that, Claire, those were two things that I

391
00:17:51,074 --> 00:17:53,874
Speaker 3: will never do or my inbox and say no, but

392
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:55,394
Speaker 3: I applaud you for doing them.

393
00:17:55,794 --> 00:17:57,234
Speaker 1: Mine are really quick.

394
00:17:57,354 --> 00:17:59,833
Speaker 3: The first one is schedule out your exercise for the week.

395
00:18:00,034 --> 00:18:01,154
Speaker 3: I love doing that.

396
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:03,194
Speaker 1: Something I do want to do well. I actually put

397
00:18:03,194 --> 00:18:03,793
Speaker 1: it in your diary.

398
00:18:04,034 --> 00:18:04,594
Speaker 2: Yeah I do.

399
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:06,914
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so excited to do it that I typically

400
00:18:06,914 --> 00:18:09,594
Speaker 3: do it mid the previous week for the next week

401
00:18:09,594 --> 00:18:10,754
Speaker 3: because I run.

402
00:18:11,154 --> 00:18:13,354
Speaker 2: Is it a class or is it a I'm showing up.

403
00:18:13,514 --> 00:18:14,554
Speaker 1: It's Polate's classes.

404
00:18:14,634 --> 00:18:15,874
Speaker 2: Okay, so you have to book it in.

405
00:18:16,034 --> 00:18:17,474
Speaker 1: You got to book it interesting, you got it.

406
00:18:17,834 --> 00:18:20,834
Speaker 3: The second one is always use a mouse. I was

407
00:18:20,874 --> 00:18:24,954
Speaker 3: told this recently by a person who specializes in backs,

408
00:18:25,074 --> 00:18:27,194
Speaker 3: because you know, I'm carrying my laptop around places, and

409
00:18:27,234 --> 00:18:29,194
Speaker 3: she said, look, I don't care what you do where

410
00:18:29,234 --> 00:18:31,074
Speaker 3: you sit, but you've got to use a mouse because

411
00:18:31,074 --> 00:18:34,234
Speaker 3: those little trackers on your laptop are ruining your back.

412
00:18:34,634 --> 00:18:37,154
Speaker 1: You into little hunchbacks, turn you into a little hunchbacks.

413
00:18:37,234 --> 00:18:38,594
Speaker 1: I got a mouse as soon as you told me that.

414
00:18:38,794 --> 00:18:41,554
Speaker 3: Yep. And then the third thing I want to suggest

415
00:18:41,834 --> 00:18:44,954
Speaker 3: is that you wear perfume. It shows that you're getting

416
00:18:44,954 --> 00:18:47,194
Speaker 3: out in the world. Like I put it on every

417
00:18:47,274 --> 00:18:49,714
Speaker 3: day and it's just like, well, because I'm not in

418
00:18:49,754 --> 00:18:52,434
Speaker 3: bed lounging around anymore. Like I got my perfume on

419
00:18:52,594 --> 00:18:54,353
Speaker 3: and it's just a little ritual that brings a bit

420
00:18:54,394 --> 00:18:54,834
Speaker 3: of joy.

421
00:18:54,874 --> 00:18:57,314
Speaker 2: So this is a total rabbit hole that I have

422
00:18:57,474 --> 00:18:59,114
Speaker 2: wanted to pitch on the show that I haven't pitched

423
00:18:59,194 --> 00:19:02,474
Speaker 2: yet is I've become quite obsessed with what's in perfume,

424
00:19:02,514 --> 00:19:04,914
Speaker 2: and you know all the theories about pore minds and

425
00:19:04,914 --> 00:19:07,314
Speaker 2: maybe it's bad for you. Yeah, I keep asking that

426
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:09,714
Speaker 2: because I was. I think it's probably I was obsessed

427
00:19:09,754 --> 00:19:12,474
Speaker 2: with perfume, like for years and years, and then I

428
00:19:12,514 --> 00:19:15,234
Speaker 2: got into like, oh is it bad for me? And

429
00:19:15,274 --> 00:19:18,474
Speaker 2: then I got into there's natural ones, but then you

430
00:19:18,474 --> 00:19:19,954
Speaker 2: can only buy them online. I'm like, I want to

431
00:19:19,994 --> 00:19:21,594
Speaker 2: go in and smell them. Oh my god, I just do.

432
00:19:22,034 --> 00:19:24,514
Speaker 1: Apparently that extends outside of perfume too, to like even

433
00:19:24,554 --> 00:19:27,474
Speaker 1: scented candles and like all yeah stuff. So it's are bad.

434
00:19:27,594 --> 00:19:29,194
Speaker 2: All the people who are like, very bad.

435
00:19:29,594 --> 00:19:32,313
Speaker 1: We need a proper activity. Had no mean.

436
00:19:32,794 --> 00:19:35,074
Speaker 2: I love a scented candle. I love a good smell,

437
00:19:35,434 --> 00:19:36,914
Speaker 2: but I have some questions what the.

438
00:19:36,994 --> 00:19:41,194
Speaker 3: Volunteer is that everyone has very different modes of working exactly.

439
00:19:41,394 --> 00:19:43,354
Speaker 1: And that's why when you manage people, something I will

440
00:19:43,354 --> 00:19:45,794
Speaker 1: never ever do in my life because I'm terrible at it.

441
00:19:46,034 --> 00:19:49,634
Speaker 1: But like good managers understand that and they will tailor

442
00:19:50,114 --> 00:19:53,434
Speaker 1: their work life to someone who's you know, strengths are

443
00:19:53,674 --> 00:19:55,474
Speaker 1: different to the next person's.

444
00:20:02,714 --> 00:20:06,793
Speaker 5: Hello, how loudest Hello and venom here with Jesse and

445
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:12,354
Speaker 5: clam Hello. So I have something really important I wanted

446
00:20:12,394 --> 00:20:15,553
Speaker 5: to talk about today. Because we all work in media,

447
00:20:15,794 --> 00:20:18,674
Speaker 5: we all have a social media account of some sort.

448
00:20:18,754 --> 00:20:20,834
Speaker 5: I thought you were going to say addiction, and we

449
00:20:20,914 --> 00:20:25,234
Speaker 5: all have addiction, as most people do. But I want

450
00:20:25,234 --> 00:20:28,114
Speaker 5: to talk about those social media accounts that I feel

451
00:20:28,114 --> 00:20:32,234
Speaker 5: like don't get enough value put on them. And I'm

452
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:36,194
Speaker 5: talking about the accounts that are so niche, the accounts

453
00:20:36,234 --> 00:20:39,593
Speaker 5: that if they weren't in our lives, nothing would change.

454
00:20:39,754 --> 00:20:42,234
Speaker 5: It would be the exact same. Yes, the accounts that

455
00:20:42,234 --> 00:20:45,354
Speaker 5: aren't political, aren't newsy. We don't learn anything from them.

456
00:20:45,394 --> 00:20:48,874
Speaker 5: It's not a must have. They're not celebrities, no, not celebrities,

457
00:20:49,114 --> 00:20:52,314
Speaker 5: no personalities. These are like kind of what reminded me

458
00:20:52,354 --> 00:20:55,234
Speaker 5: of the early days of Instagram. It's like these really

459
00:20:55,394 --> 00:20:58,553
Speaker 5: niche accounts that people just share like this is my

460
00:20:58,634 --> 00:20:59,474
Speaker 5: flower today.

461
00:20:59,594 --> 00:21:00,874
Speaker 4: I really like this flower.

462
00:21:01,074 --> 00:21:04,274
Speaker 2: Okay, like, do you remember really early in the COVID

463
00:21:04,354 --> 00:21:07,714
Speaker 2: days we got and I can't remember his name, that

464
00:21:07,754 --> 00:21:12,474
Speaker 2: he gave up fizzy drinks, no fizzy drink, No fizzy drink.

465
00:21:12,274 --> 00:21:17,834
Speaker 1: Man, No phizzy drink today, no special updates, just holidays,

466
00:21:17,874 --> 00:21:20,274
Speaker 1: me and my wife and he would got going. He's

467
00:21:20,274 --> 00:21:24,033
Speaker 1: still going fizzy drink and the kids and stuff.

468
00:21:22,994 --> 00:21:24,914
Speaker 2: And every now and then I check it in on him.

469
00:21:24,914 --> 00:21:27,634
Speaker 2: But he was like one day with no and then

470
00:21:27,674 --> 00:21:29,634
Speaker 2: he went to like one hundred. He went it was

471
00:21:29,674 --> 00:21:32,313
Speaker 2: low enough steaks, but also felt really high, and we

472
00:21:32,314 --> 00:21:36,594
Speaker 2: were all rooting for him. And I always wonder with that, Matt,

473
00:21:36,634 --> 00:21:39,274
Speaker 2: you're potentially the most famous man on TikTok right, are

474
00:21:39,314 --> 00:21:42,313
Speaker 2: you making any money? I'm always like, how do we

475
00:21:42,394 --> 00:21:45,834
Speaker 2: monetize this? And I would love to know that he

476
00:21:45,914 --> 00:21:47,793
Speaker 2: can't be sponsored by fizzy drinks.

477
00:21:48,114 --> 00:21:50,714
Speaker 4: No, he can't really sleep by.

478
00:21:50,554 --> 00:21:55,194
Speaker 1: Water some government department for low sugar yes.

479
00:21:55,074 --> 00:21:59,554
Speaker 2: And Diabetes Association perhaps. But I'm still rooting for him.

480
00:21:59,554 --> 00:22:01,274
Speaker 2: But as far as I know, things are still going

481
00:22:01,314 --> 00:22:02,114
Speaker 2: really well for that man.

482
00:22:02,474 --> 00:22:05,834
Speaker 5: So similar in that vein of no fizzy drinks, I

483
00:22:05,874 --> 00:22:08,994
Speaker 5: want to talk about then that have us in a

484
00:22:09,114 --> 00:22:11,674
Speaker 5: choke hole that we will never give up, but literally

485
00:22:11,754 --> 00:22:13,634
Speaker 5: add no value to our lives?

486
00:22:13,954 --> 00:22:14,594
Speaker 1: Whatsoever?

487
00:22:14,954 --> 00:22:17,634
Speaker 2: Are we allowed to bring some that we're all so

488
00:22:17,794 --> 00:22:18,754
Speaker 2: slightly ashamed of?

489
00:22:19,114 --> 00:22:21,994
Speaker 1: The more the merrier, I think that's an immergerative. I

490
00:22:21,994 --> 00:22:24,954
Speaker 1: think this more shameful the better, because this is a

491
00:22:25,074 --> 00:22:28,074
Speaker 1: judgment free zone, whilst I will still also be judging you.

492
00:22:28,314 --> 00:22:31,154
Speaker 2: Okay, and please like because I think it Sometimes it

493
00:22:31,274 --> 00:22:36,114
Speaker 2: might reveal some dark impulses. And also, okay, I don't know,

494
00:22:36,194 --> 00:22:38,674
Speaker 2: but I find myself deep in rabbit holes. I'm not

495
00:22:38,674 --> 00:22:41,274
Speaker 2: proud of what I'm watching. But this is the eleventh video.

496
00:22:42,154 --> 00:22:44,434
Speaker 5: I once followed a TikTok account where it was just

497
00:22:44,954 --> 00:22:47,954
Speaker 5: this guy pushing a marble down a flight of stairs.

498
00:22:48,114 --> 00:22:51,354
Speaker 4: Oh no, it would crash into glass pots.

499
00:22:51,474 --> 00:22:52,234
Speaker 1: I've been there too.

500
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,434
Speaker 2: I quite enjoyed that. And now you know what, I

501
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:58,154
Speaker 2: couldn't enjoy that because now I'd wonder if it were AI.

502
00:22:58,354 --> 00:23:01,154
Speaker 5: Yes, but it was, And do you feel betrayed if

503
00:23:01,194 --> 00:23:03,033
Speaker 5: it's AI yes.

504
00:23:04,434 --> 00:23:08,074
Speaker 2: If it's a literal marble literally hitting a glass bottle,

505
00:23:08,114 --> 00:23:09,634
Speaker 2: I go no, no, no, this is somehow good for

506
00:23:09,714 --> 00:23:11,714
Speaker 2: my brain, but the rest is brain.

507
00:23:11,794 --> 00:23:13,793
Speaker 1: Get okay, and vernam, can you give me some of

508
00:23:13,794 --> 00:23:15,514
Speaker 1: your favorites please, because I'm writing a list.

509
00:23:15,634 --> 00:23:18,073
Speaker 5: I have two favorites that I've been following for years.

510
00:23:18,154 --> 00:23:20,954
Speaker 5: The first one I have recommended on a Friday Show

511
00:23:20,994 --> 00:23:22,434
Speaker 5: before as one of my records.

512
00:23:22,514 --> 00:23:23,754
Speaker 4: It's hot Dudes Reading.

513
00:23:24,834 --> 00:23:26,354
Speaker 1: I think I sent this to you one I me,

514
00:23:26,394 --> 00:23:27,354
Speaker 1: and you're like, I am already.

515
00:23:27,354 --> 00:23:29,354
Speaker 4: I'm already a fan from day one.

516
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:34,674
Speaker 5: It's basically this account that encourages people to take photos

517
00:23:34,714 --> 00:23:37,553
Speaker 5: of men who are reading in public, send it to

518
00:23:37,594 --> 00:23:40,394
Speaker 5: the account, and then the best thing about this is

519
00:23:40,434 --> 00:23:42,874
Speaker 5: that it's obviously a man reading, and him reading is

520
00:23:42,914 --> 00:23:44,194
Speaker 5: automatically what makes him hot.

521
00:23:44,714 --> 00:23:46,754
Speaker 2: How many men do you think walk around with books

522
00:23:46,794 --> 00:23:47,793
Speaker 2: trying to get pictured on that?

523
00:23:48,714 --> 00:23:50,793
Speaker 5: Well, Jacob Aladi does all the time. He has them

524
00:23:50,794 --> 00:23:52,674
Speaker 5: in his pocket famously.

525
00:23:53,034 --> 00:23:53,314
Speaker 1: Nice.

526
00:23:53,394 --> 00:23:55,274
Speaker 4: Nice, but yeah, I think more men should read, which

527
00:23:55,354 --> 00:23:57,834
Speaker 4: is what this account is aiming to do. It's actually

528
00:23:57,834 --> 00:23:58,954
Speaker 4: an activistic.

529
00:23:58,874 --> 00:24:01,034
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is at okay.

530
00:24:01,034 --> 00:24:01,674
Speaker 4: The second one I.

531
00:24:01,594 --> 00:24:04,074
Speaker 5: Want to talk about is girls carrying shit? Have you

532
00:24:04,114 --> 00:24:05,314
Speaker 5: heard of this Instagram account?

533
00:24:06,514 --> 00:24:09,273
Speaker 1: No, I presume in the title it's pretty much it.

534
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:11,474
Speaker 5: The only reason I found this was because a lot

535
00:24:11,474 --> 00:24:14,793
Speaker 5: of my friends who I follow would take photos of

536
00:24:14,834 --> 00:24:17,994
Speaker 5: themselves holding stuff in their hands and then tag the account.

537
00:24:18,314 --> 00:24:20,354
Speaker 5: And then I went into this account and it's like

538
00:24:20,874 --> 00:24:23,834
Speaker 5: hundreds of thousands of followers of this account called girls

539
00:24:23,874 --> 00:24:27,354
Speaker 5: carrying Shit and the bio is, after thousands of years

540
00:24:27,394 --> 00:24:30,474
Speaker 5: without pockets, non men have evolved a superior grip to

541
00:24:30,594 --> 00:24:34,314
Speaker 5: carrying our shit. Yes. So it started with this girl

542
00:24:34,394 --> 00:24:37,073
Speaker 5: named Hallie Robe and basically what she did was she

543
00:24:37,154 --> 00:24:40,474
Speaker 5: was like, always take photos of herself holding stuff, and

544
00:24:40,514 --> 00:24:43,194
Speaker 5: then she would go to dinners with her girlfriends, get

545
00:24:43,234 --> 00:24:45,674
Speaker 5: them to empty their bags and ask them how much

546
00:24:45,714 --> 00:24:47,514
Speaker 5: of your stuff can you just hold in your hand?

547
00:24:47,594 --> 00:24:50,514
Speaker 4: And take photos of that? And soon it became this whole.

548
00:24:50,234 --> 00:24:53,513
Speaker 5: Thing where now women are sending photos of themselves or

549
00:24:53,554 --> 00:24:57,274
Speaker 5: other women in public holding things in their hands.

550
00:24:57,634 --> 00:24:58,994
Speaker 1: I was like, why am I.

551
00:24:59,074 --> 00:25:00,914
Speaker 4: So entertained by this?

552
00:25:01,314 --> 00:25:03,274
Speaker 5: And I went into a deep dive and I found

553
00:25:03,314 --> 00:25:06,914
Speaker 5: an interview she did with Polyester magazine and she says,

554
00:25:07,794 --> 00:25:10,914
Speaker 5: I'm more interested in who those people are, the story

555
00:25:10,954 --> 00:25:13,594
Speaker 5: behind the objects they're carrying. One of my favorite posts

556
00:25:13,714 --> 00:25:16,234
Speaker 5: was a few weeks ago, and it's this girl carrying

557
00:25:16,234 --> 00:25:20,434
Speaker 5: a ticket and her cut off ponytail. That's funny when

558
00:25:20,554 --> 00:25:23,914
Speaker 5: the objects are being carried at odds because simultaneously it

559
00:25:23,954 --> 00:25:26,674
Speaker 5: feels grounded in reality that these objects could end up

560
00:25:26,714 --> 00:25:28,754
Speaker 5: in someone's hand at the same time.

561
00:25:29,394 --> 00:25:30,754
Speaker 4: And it's so true.

562
00:25:30,794 --> 00:25:32,594
Speaker 5: Like one of my favorite posts of hers is like

563
00:25:32,634 --> 00:25:34,754
Speaker 5: a girl who doesn't know she's being photographed and it's

564
00:25:34,754 --> 00:25:36,634
Speaker 5: not even her face, it's just a hand. She looks

565
00:25:36,674 --> 00:25:38,474
Speaker 5: like she's at this party and in her one hand

566
00:25:38,674 --> 00:25:42,954
Speaker 5: is a margarita, her phone, a tambourine, and a slice

567
00:25:42,954 --> 00:25:44,274
Speaker 5: of pizza in one hand.

568
00:25:44,514 --> 00:25:48,114
Speaker 1: I mean, that is an incredible achievement that should be

569
00:25:48,194 --> 00:25:51,834
Speaker 1: celebrated publicly. I absolutely am getting behind this. I love it.

570
00:25:52,074 --> 00:25:54,994
Speaker 2: That is an activist camp. You discover what a single

571
00:25:55,074 --> 00:25:56,274
Speaker 2: finger can do.

572
00:25:56,354 --> 00:25:58,074
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, it's not that men, right, So you'll have

573
00:25:58,114 --> 00:26:00,354
Speaker 5: your phone slotted in between your pinky and ing and

574
00:26:00,354 --> 00:26:02,314
Speaker 5: then your keys like will be hooked off something else,

575
00:26:02,314 --> 00:26:03,754
Speaker 5: and then a lip gloss will be on your like

576
00:26:03,794 --> 00:26:04,834
Speaker 5: index finger.

577
00:26:04,754 --> 00:26:06,914
Speaker 4: Yep, and then maybe like a full on book as

578
00:26:06,914 --> 00:26:07,634
Speaker 4: you're reading it.

579
00:26:09,714 --> 00:26:13,034
Speaker 1: Women's bodies are amazing. I mean, come on, we are amazing.

580
00:26:13,434 --> 00:26:16,514
Speaker 1: Can I share my favorite with you? Guys? So this

581
00:26:16,554 --> 00:26:18,954
Speaker 1: has not only become my favorite account, but also has

582
00:26:19,034 --> 00:26:22,114
Speaker 1: become like a bonding moment between myself and my daughter.

583
00:26:22,834 --> 00:26:27,553
Speaker 1: It was specifically created for the autism community. And I

584
00:26:27,594 --> 00:26:31,034
Speaker 1: am not autistic, but I feel like I really can

585
00:26:31,074 --> 00:26:36,394
Speaker 1: relate very hard to rate my spoon. Oh, I actually

586
00:26:36,634 --> 00:26:41,154
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about now, yes, yes, So basically,

587
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:44,914
Speaker 1: people present a piece of cutlery and it's not always

588
00:26:44,954 --> 00:26:46,554
Speaker 1: a spoon. Sometimes it's a fork, and every now and

589
00:26:46,634 --> 00:26:48,874
Speaker 1: then it's a knife. But they present the piece of

590
00:26:48,874 --> 00:26:51,594
Speaker 1: cutlery folded up in some kind of tea towel arrangement.

591
00:26:52,074 --> 00:26:54,554
Speaker 1: You first see the tea towel and it's folded into threes,

592
00:26:54,674 --> 00:26:57,754
Speaker 1: and then the person gently opens the first leaf of

593
00:26:57,754 --> 00:26:59,313
Speaker 1: the tea towel and then the second leaf of the

594
00:26:59,354 --> 00:27:02,194
Speaker 1: tea toowl and it reveals the piece of cutlery inside.

595
00:27:02,314 --> 00:27:07,634
Speaker 1: And sometimes sometimes a spoon is beautiful like proportion, it's lovely,

596
00:27:08,114 --> 00:27:10,474
Speaker 1: like not too big, not too sack classifies.

597
00:27:11,514 --> 00:27:14,273
Speaker 2: You just know, you just know.

598
00:27:14,514 --> 00:27:15,834
Speaker 1: And that is the thing about it.

599
00:27:16,034 --> 00:27:18,194
Speaker 2: There's no written criteria, but you can feel it in

600
00:27:18,194 --> 00:27:19,394
Speaker 2: your gut when it's a bad.

601
00:27:19,234 --> 00:27:22,914
Speaker 1: Spoon hundred percent. And as soon as you see about,

602
00:27:22,954 --> 00:27:25,874
Speaker 1: like I saw a spoon just yesterday which I can't

603
00:27:25,914 --> 00:27:29,273
Speaker 1: stop thinking about. It has no handle, it has the

604
00:27:29,434 --> 00:27:33,114
Speaker 1: spoon part on one side and then fork times coming

605
00:27:33,114 --> 00:27:36,434
Speaker 1: off the back of it. That is a crime against

606
00:27:36,554 --> 00:27:39,594
Speaker 1: humanity that should not exist anywhere in the world. And

607
00:27:39,634 --> 00:27:41,434
Speaker 1: there are so many times my daughter and I'll see

608
00:27:41,474 --> 00:27:42,874
Speaker 1: it come up on my phone and be like, hey, hey,

609
00:27:42,914 --> 00:27:44,274
Speaker 1: can we come I comm here, and then we'll sit

610
00:27:44,314 --> 00:27:46,554
Speaker 1: together and as soon as it's unfolded, we'll be like, oh,

611
00:27:47,234 --> 00:27:48,434
Speaker 1: that's such a good spoon.

612
00:27:48,754 --> 00:27:50,513
Speaker 5: Does it not make you want to like fast forward

613
00:27:50,514 --> 00:27:52,594
Speaker 5: the tea towel situation and get straight to the spoon.

614
00:27:52,834 --> 00:27:55,194
Speaker 1: No, it's all part of the anticipation. You don't know

615
00:27:55,194 --> 00:27:57,834
Speaker 1: what's coming, and then you automatically your brain will click

616
00:27:57,874 --> 00:28:00,994
Speaker 1: and be like, yes, that is a great spoon, or

617
00:28:01,074 --> 00:28:04,434
Speaker 1: one hundred percent no to the spoon, especially ones that

618
00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:07,594
Speaker 1: are shaped like shovels or like a two small or

619
00:28:07,594 --> 00:28:09,354
Speaker 1: too deep, like you know when you get those really

620
00:28:09,394 --> 00:28:12,553
Speaker 1: like the soup spoons, like oh like it?

621
00:28:12,594 --> 00:28:14,194
Speaker 5: Like I don't like that because it feels like you're

622
00:28:14,234 --> 00:28:15,354
Speaker 5: cutting the sides of your mouth.

623
00:28:15,714 --> 00:28:19,634
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, don't touch the sides. So there's no criteria.

624
00:28:19,714 --> 00:28:22,954
Speaker 1: It's literally just you automatically your brain nose whether it's

625
00:28:22,994 --> 00:28:26,034
Speaker 1: a good spoon or a bad spoon. I can't explain it,

626
00:28:26,034 --> 00:28:37,394
Speaker 1: it's just your brain knows. I also truly love a

627
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:41,994
Speaker 1: fast forwarded garden tidy up oh clah.

628
00:28:42,874 --> 00:28:43,874
Speaker 2: Speak in my language.

629
00:28:43,994 --> 00:28:46,634
Speaker 1: There's lots of accounts that do this, but essentially, they'll

630
00:28:46,754 --> 00:28:49,514
Speaker 1: like trawl the neighborhood, find maybe an abandoned home or

631
00:28:49,514 --> 00:28:52,114
Speaker 1: a home of someone who's fallen on hard times. They'll

632
00:28:52,154 --> 00:28:54,594
Speaker 1: approach the door, knock, maybe they're there, maybe they're not,

633
00:28:54,754 --> 00:28:58,274
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They'll get into like doing the whipper

634
00:28:58,314 --> 00:29:02,034
Speaker 1: snippering and the edging, and then they mow and they

635
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:04,994
Speaker 1: trim trees and bushes and then it's like really quick

636
00:29:05,354 --> 00:29:07,954
Speaker 1: and then sometimes a Karen will step in and be

637
00:29:08,074 --> 00:29:10,314
Speaker 1: really mad that they're working on their garden and not

638
00:29:10,434 --> 00:29:13,594
Speaker 1: her garden. And sometimes like local police officers will rock

639
00:29:13,674 --> 00:29:15,834
Speaker 1: up and be like, hey, what's your story. But in

640
00:29:15,874 --> 00:29:20,234
Speaker 1: the end you always get a beautiful tidy garden and

641
00:29:20,274 --> 00:29:22,434
Speaker 1: it does something to my nerve endings. It just makes

642
00:29:22,434 --> 00:29:24,434
Speaker 1: me want to just, I don't know, fall in a

643
00:29:24,434 --> 00:29:26,714
Speaker 1: heap and just be loved by everybody.

644
00:29:26,954 --> 00:29:29,994
Speaker 2: It's good for your nervous system, Claire, That's what it's doing.

645
00:29:30,114 --> 00:29:33,434
Speaker 2: I feel as though this is the kind of bandwagon

646
00:29:33,474 --> 00:29:33,874
Speaker 2: that I'm on.

647
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:36,434
Speaker 1: So I love card detailing.

648
00:29:36,794 --> 00:29:38,834
Speaker 2: Have you seen one where they like go and clean

649
00:29:39,514 --> 00:29:42,074
Speaker 2: their middle thing and then they pick the drug up

650
00:29:42,074 --> 00:29:42,634
Speaker 2: and they just do.

651
00:29:42,634 --> 00:29:46,394
Speaker 1: A little nice Yeah, they've got their own special brushes.

652
00:29:46,634 --> 00:29:49,474
Speaker 1: They get into all the crevices and stuff and it's like, oh,

653
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:51,714
Speaker 1: I need one of those. I want to do that

654
00:29:51,754 --> 00:29:54,954
Speaker 1: to Mica car detailing. But have you seen I can't

655
00:29:54,994 --> 00:29:57,794
Speaker 1: remember his name, but it's something the poor man and.

656
00:29:57,754 --> 00:30:00,474
Speaker 2: He goes with care. Yeah, and the British guy, the

657
00:30:00,514 --> 00:30:02,794
Speaker 2: poor guy, the poor guy, British guy. And the thing

658
00:30:02,794 --> 00:30:06,074
Speaker 2: about British pools is that for a portion of the year,

659
00:30:06,074 --> 00:30:08,434
Speaker 2: it's not just that they sit in your backyard like

660
00:30:08,434 --> 00:30:10,914
Speaker 2: in Australia and maybe you don't maintain it as well.

661
00:30:10,954 --> 00:30:13,274
Speaker 2: It's like they get discussed.

662
00:30:13,514 --> 00:30:16,834
Speaker 5: They come a pond, they become a pond and sometimes

663
00:30:16,874 --> 00:30:17,914
Speaker 5: living in that poll for.

664
00:30:18,114 --> 00:30:20,274
Speaker 2: Years they're not touched and they take the thing and

665
00:30:20,314 --> 00:30:21,834
Speaker 2: it's like the color of the pool.

666
00:30:22,074 --> 00:30:26,794
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's green slime, it's thick, it's gross. And this

667
00:30:26,914 --> 00:30:29,994
Speaker 1: guy just he just fixes your pull and you go.

668
00:30:30,234 --> 00:30:33,194
Speaker 1: You are a man who knows his purpose. You film it.

669
00:30:33,274 --> 00:30:35,234
Speaker 2: Thank you for that. Sometimes it gets a cup of

670
00:30:35,234 --> 00:30:38,674
Speaker 2: tea and by the end the pools is always clean.

671
00:30:38,874 --> 00:30:42,554
Speaker 2: I think that's just a job we'd all like to haveeah.

672
00:30:41,514 --> 00:30:43,194
Speaker 1: And I think part of the thing that gets me

673
00:30:43,234 --> 00:30:45,314
Speaker 1: with those is the pressure washing section.

674
00:30:46,514 --> 00:30:49,994
Speaker 4: And then they write names and your pictures. Oh my god.

675
00:30:50,074 --> 00:30:53,274
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then if they miss a tiny spot ruins

676
00:30:53,274 --> 00:30:53,714
Speaker 5: the whole video.

677
00:30:53,794 --> 00:30:54,394
Speaker 2: It ruins it.

678
00:30:54,514 --> 00:30:54,754
Speaker 3: Yeah.

679
00:30:55,274 --> 00:30:55,434
Speaker 2: Real.

680
00:30:55,554 --> 00:30:57,554
Speaker 1: But on the same theme, I just want to give

681
00:30:57,594 --> 00:31:02,154
Speaker 1: a special mention to Kate McKinnon, comedian sat It Live alumni.

682
00:31:02,714 --> 00:31:06,794
Speaker 1: She mentioned an Australian account on Aby Polar's podcast, Good Hang,

683
00:31:07,434 --> 00:31:12,634
Speaker 1: it is drain cleaning Australia.

684
00:31:12,474 --> 00:31:14,154
Speaker 3: Or what do you know? Look at that.

685
00:31:14,274 --> 00:31:16,194
Speaker 1: We've got her block drain and we've got a dog

686
00:31:16,274 --> 00:31:18,634
Speaker 1: the size of a peanut that wants to rip my

687
00:31:18,714 --> 00:31:19,114
Speaker 1: head off.

688
00:31:19,154 --> 00:31:21,954
Speaker 5: Mate, and look at the state of this usual story.

689
00:31:22,074 --> 00:31:24,354
Speaker 2: Another plumber's been out here, he's failed.

690
00:31:24,514 --> 00:31:26,754
Speaker 1: Let's go for a wander and get it sorted gorz.

691
00:31:27,034 --> 00:31:29,634
Speaker 1: She has been commended for her excellent Australian accent when

692
00:31:29,674 --> 00:31:32,354
Speaker 1: imitating this feeling, because he's got a very irwin esque

693
00:31:32,434 --> 00:31:35,194
Speaker 1: vibe about him, like he's really upbeat about this really filthy,

694
00:31:35,234 --> 00:31:37,994
Speaker 1: disgusting job that he has and he's all like, guys,

695
00:31:38,874 --> 00:31:41,634
Speaker 1: that's a real big clog in this one. Let's get

696
00:31:41,794 --> 00:31:46,594
Speaker 1: out and then like this giant, I don't know, fur hair, tree, root,

697
00:31:46,674 --> 00:31:49,114
Speaker 1: whatever happens to be clogging said, drain comes out. And

698
00:31:49,154 --> 00:31:51,834
Speaker 1: the satisfaction you get when things start to flow freely

699
00:31:51,954 --> 00:31:54,954
Speaker 1: is like it just soothes the soul. Do you know

700
00:31:55,034 --> 00:31:59,154
Speaker 1: where Kate McKinnon got good at Australian accents? You know

701
00:31:59,234 --> 00:32:01,594
Speaker 1: that she was interviewed. Kate McKinnon was interviewed on a

702
00:32:01,674 --> 00:32:04,194
Speaker 1: late night show and she had done an Australian accent

703
00:32:04,234 --> 00:32:06,754
Speaker 1: for a movie maybe five years ago. They said, how

704
00:32:06,794 --> 00:32:08,354
Speaker 1: did you get so good? And she said, I listened

705
00:32:08,354 --> 00:32:10,874
Speaker 1: to this Australian podcast called No Filter and.

706
00:32:10,834 --> 00:32:13,554
Speaker 2: She's cited our very own Mayor Friedman.

707
00:32:13,674 --> 00:32:16,554
Speaker 1: That's how she did it. Stop. Yeah, I'll have.

708
00:32:16,474 --> 00:32:17,234
Speaker 2: To find the footage.

709
00:32:17,754 --> 00:32:20,634
Speaker 4: An Australian accident to me is.

710
00:32:20,994 --> 00:32:24,394
Speaker 2: Got She've cited No Filter as the podcast she listened to.

711
00:32:24,474 --> 00:32:29,034
Speaker 2: I'll never forget it. That's so funny about it. She's

712
00:32:29,114 --> 00:32:29,594
Speaker 2: so fad.

713
00:32:30,034 --> 00:32:31,914
Speaker 1: That is so fun a right, Jesse add to the list.

714
00:32:31,914 --> 00:32:33,554
Speaker 1: I'm still curating, so.

715
00:32:34,314 --> 00:32:38,034
Speaker 2: My algorithm is completely thrown out because, as we all know,

716
00:32:38,834 --> 00:32:42,114
Speaker 2: the algorithm smells you looks you in the eye, and

717
00:32:42,154 --> 00:32:44,994
Speaker 2: it goes you're pregnant with twins. The things if you

718
00:32:45,034 --> 00:32:48,194
Speaker 2: took my phone for fifteen minutes, the things you would

719
00:32:48,274 --> 00:32:52,274
Speaker 2: learn about twin pregnancies about I don't know if I've

720
00:32:52,274 --> 00:32:54,274
Speaker 2: asked you guys this yet. Do you know if you

721
00:32:54,354 --> 00:32:57,194
Speaker 2: go twin placenta, twin pla center or twin twin center.

722
00:32:58,194 --> 00:33:00,154
Speaker 4: I asked you that I don't know what these words

723
00:33:00,194 --> 00:33:02,034
Speaker 4: mean that you're words.

724
00:33:02,274 --> 00:33:05,314
Speaker 1: I know the words individually, I said, but when you

725
00:33:05,354 --> 00:33:07,474
Speaker 1: put them together, not so much. Claire.

726
00:33:07,754 --> 00:33:10,954
Speaker 2: You've given birth a baby. And then the came out.

727
00:33:10,954 --> 00:33:13,994
Speaker 1: Correct, Sure, yes, I looked at it and it was amazing. Yes,

728
00:33:13,994 --> 00:33:15,114
Speaker 1: and get it.

729
00:33:18,554 --> 00:33:20,354
Speaker 4: Surely it's twin percent of twin percenter.

730
00:33:20,514 --> 00:33:25,354
Speaker 2: Surely that was also my bed. No incorrect, twin twin

731
00:33:26,434 --> 00:33:29,954
Speaker 2: center percenter. Yeah, yeah, okay, so this is the ship

732
00:33:29,994 --> 00:33:30,754
Speaker 2: that we're learning.

733
00:33:30,794 --> 00:33:32,874
Speaker 4: I forgot you have to do that as well. So

734
00:33:32,914 --> 00:33:34,394
Speaker 4: you're like four.

735
00:33:34,154 --> 00:33:36,874
Speaker 2: Times yes, exactly right. They each have their own placenta

736
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:39,034
Speaker 2: and often it fuses. By the end.

737
00:33:39,194 --> 00:33:41,594
Speaker 1: This is none of this I know from my obstetrition.

738
00:33:43,434 --> 00:33:47,154
Speaker 2: Of fuses. By the end, I am learning about things

739
00:33:47,194 --> 00:33:49,994
Speaker 2: that I wouldn't have even thought how do you pick

740
00:33:50,074 --> 00:33:53,874
Speaker 2: up newborn twins? And there's a system. There's a system

741
00:33:53,914 --> 00:33:55,514
Speaker 2: of like how oh, you can do it like this,

742
00:33:55,634 --> 00:33:56,994
Speaker 2: or you can do it like that, and you've kind

743
00:33:56,994 --> 00:33:58,634
Speaker 2: of got to have them on the bed and then

744
00:33:58,634 --> 00:34:01,074
Speaker 2: you kind of get them into this thing. How about

745
00:34:01,234 --> 00:34:02,474
Speaker 2: the breastfeeding.

746
00:34:01,954 --> 00:34:04,594
Speaker 1: Positions like the foot hold hold.

747
00:34:05,114 --> 00:34:08,074
Speaker 2: Yes, I assumed I would be cradling them both and

748
00:34:08,114 --> 00:34:10,113
Speaker 2: their feet would be going inwards, but no, no, no,

749
00:34:10,354 --> 00:34:11,433
Speaker 2: their feet go outwards.

750
00:34:11,674 --> 00:34:13,073
Speaker 1: And then I've got the other I.

751
00:34:12,994 --> 00:34:17,834
Speaker 5: Have a breastfeeding question. It's one boob preferred over the other.

752
00:34:18,274 --> 00:34:20,634
Speaker 2: It was with lunar and it often is with a

753
00:34:20,674 --> 00:34:21,754
Speaker 2: single baby.

754
00:34:21,914 --> 00:34:22,194
Speaker 1: Yep.

755
00:34:22,234 --> 00:34:24,873
Speaker 2: But there is something with twin feeding which I've learnt

756
00:34:24,914 --> 00:34:29,154
Speaker 2: from my midwife, TikTok, that is called tandem feeding, and

757
00:34:29,234 --> 00:34:32,154
Speaker 2: so that's the goal. Tandem feeding means you do the

758
00:34:32,234 --> 00:34:32,714
Speaker 2: both sides.

759
00:34:32,954 --> 00:34:35,234
Speaker 1: So you don't want to like breastfeed one, put them down,

760
00:34:35,354 --> 00:34:37,433
Speaker 1: pick up the next one. Yeah, like you want to

761
00:34:37,674 --> 00:34:39,234
Speaker 1: suction one simultaneously.

762
00:34:39,354 --> 00:34:41,993
Speaker 2: That would be the best because of its efficiency, right

763
00:34:42,114 --> 00:34:43,714
Speaker 2: of course. And then I've got the It.

764
00:34:43,674 --> 00:34:45,314
Speaker 4: Looks like something that should be like on a cover

765
00:34:45,394 --> 00:34:48,514
Speaker 4: of a magazine. It does like holding your two twins there.

766
00:34:48,474 --> 00:34:50,994
Speaker 2: Yes, on my cover of Okay magazine, which I've mean

767
00:34:51,434 --> 00:34:54,914
Speaker 2: way to get. I feel like I should be standing

768
00:34:54,914 --> 00:34:57,834
Speaker 2: there with my freak show twin family and then my

769
00:34:57,914 --> 00:35:01,074
Speaker 2: two twins on the boob. Not that I think that

770
00:35:01,074 --> 00:35:03,194
Speaker 2: that will work, because my midwife TikTok told me that

771
00:35:03,234 --> 00:35:05,594
Speaker 2: it's actually really hard, And so then I get every

772
00:35:05,634 --> 00:35:07,834
Speaker 2: month rated out of ten how hard it is? Like

773
00:35:07,874 --> 00:35:08,393
Speaker 2: how hard is.

774
00:35:08,394 --> 00:35:10,553
Speaker 1: The first month and the second month and the third month.

775
00:35:10,994 --> 00:35:14,274
Speaker 2: I also got like a night where I'm like solo

776
00:35:14,514 --> 00:35:17,913
Speaker 2: parenting twins that are seven months old, and I'll just.

777
00:35:17,914 --> 00:35:21,434
Speaker 1: Get goat so exhausted for you right now, I can't even.

778
00:35:21,354 --> 00:35:27,234
Speaker 2: It is so overwhelming. But also like a vlog, yeah.

779
00:35:27,434 --> 00:35:29,714
Speaker 4: So they're able to do that, but also vlog.

780
00:35:29,634 --> 00:35:32,274
Speaker 2: Yes, you can do it.

781
00:35:32,394 --> 00:35:34,074
Speaker 1: They had a hand at some point.

782
00:35:34,354 --> 00:35:38,074
Speaker 2: So to your point, m the internet is a dark,

783
00:35:38,194 --> 00:35:40,873
Speaker 2: terrible place of which has made our life worse in

784
00:35:40,874 --> 00:35:44,913
Speaker 2: lots of ways. But wouldn't you also say helpful, yes,

785
00:35:44,954 --> 00:35:48,114
Speaker 2: slightly helpful yes. So this is what I'll say, is

786
00:35:48,154 --> 00:35:50,994
Speaker 2: you find yourself in this news life stage, which my

787
00:35:51,514 --> 00:35:55,473
Speaker 2: mum did thirty five years ago, terrified. I have an

788
00:35:55,514 --> 00:35:58,594
Speaker 2: algorithm going I'm going to tell you what you need

789
00:35:58,634 --> 00:36:00,114
Speaker 2: to know the second before you need to know it.

790
00:36:00,354 --> 00:36:04,754
Speaker 2: I actually find it with these deep niche communities, which

791
00:36:05,034 --> 00:36:09,234
Speaker 2: the twin thing is incredibly helpful. Like this is what

792
00:36:09,274 --> 00:36:12,194
Speaker 2: the internet is best for. It is like creating communities

793
00:36:12,434 --> 00:36:16,354
Speaker 2: across countries, across ethnicities, across all of it, where you

794
00:36:16,474 --> 00:36:22,394
Speaker 2: just go this twin mom in Canada can help Jesse. Yeah, breastfeet.

795
00:36:22,474 --> 00:36:25,034
Speaker 5: There's also one that I'm actually really embarrassed about that

796
00:36:25,074 --> 00:36:25,714
Speaker 5: I want to talk about.

797
00:36:26,394 --> 00:36:28,433
Speaker 4: Have you seen this guy? His name is Nate the

798
00:36:28,474 --> 00:36:28,953
Speaker 4: hoof Guy.

799
00:36:29,594 --> 00:36:31,714
Speaker 1: No, I think I've seen Nate the hoof guy.

800
00:36:31,914 --> 00:36:32,234
Speaker 4: Okay.

801
00:36:32,354 --> 00:36:35,154
Speaker 1: Is he like a hot farrier? I don't know what

802
00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:38,314
Speaker 1: a farrier is, someone like takes care of horse's feet

803
00:36:38,634 --> 00:36:41,674
Speaker 1: kind of, but cows, Oh, cows different.

804
00:36:41,794 --> 00:36:42,513
Speaker 4: He's like this.

805
00:36:42,554 --> 00:36:45,834
Speaker 5: Vet and he deals with like cow's hoofs that have

806
00:36:45,914 --> 00:36:46,634
Speaker 5: been infected.

807
00:36:47,394 --> 00:36:49,474
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, I've come across.

808
00:36:49,274 --> 00:36:51,913
Speaker 5: And he puts the hoof up. And he's also like educational. Also,

809
00:36:51,954 --> 00:36:53,433
Speaker 5: he's teaching you what the impection is.

810
00:36:53,954 --> 00:36:56,473
Speaker 6: After watching this cow limp into the shoot and after

811
00:36:56,474 --> 00:37:00,834
Speaker 6: picking up this foot, the problem seemed pretty obvious. However,

812
00:37:01,314 --> 00:37:03,714
Speaker 6: I wasn't ready for the fluid. There was a boat

813
00:37:03,714 --> 00:37:06,594
Speaker 6: to spray out Welcome back to Nat.

814
00:37:06,634 --> 00:37:08,074
Speaker 4: The hoofgame and I.

815
00:37:08,074 --> 00:37:11,794
Speaker 5: Watch this video sometimes with my friends and we try

816
00:37:11,794 --> 00:37:14,194
Speaker 5: to guess what's wrong with the hoop before it happens,

817
00:37:14,554 --> 00:37:17,234
Speaker 5: and it's so it's like we're wrong every single time,

818
00:37:17,234 --> 00:37:19,473
Speaker 5: because this guy's an experts. You'll see a hoof and

819
00:37:19,514 --> 00:37:21,913
Speaker 5: you'll clean it and it looks perfect, and you're like, oh,

820
00:37:21,994 --> 00:37:23,114
Speaker 5: she probably just has a splinter.

821
00:37:23,394 --> 00:37:25,114
Speaker 4: And then you'll be like, I bet you know what's

822
00:37:25,154 --> 00:37:27,194
Speaker 4: wrong with this one? How could you not tell?

823
00:37:27,354 --> 00:37:29,954
Speaker 5: And it'll be like this massive infection that just comes

824
00:37:29,994 --> 00:37:30,634
Speaker 5: out of it.

825
00:37:30,674 --> 00:37:32,634
Speaker 1: Is this the one that like he like scrapes down

826
00:37:32,674 --> 00:37:35,154
Speaker 1: until eventually the infection like bursts open.

827
00:37:35,554 --> 00:37:35,874
Speaker 3: Yeah.

828
00:37:36,434 --> 00:37:38,634
Speaker 5: Yeah, So he files it down and then you get

829
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:41,114
Speaker 5: to like the juicy like pussy area, and then he

830
00:37:41,154 --> 00:37:42,194
Speaker 5: pushes it and all this.

831
00:37:42,154 --> 00:37:43,354
Speaker 4: Like stuff comes out.

832
00:37:43,274 --> 00:37:45,913
Speaker 1: And that's like that will never come up in your day.

833
00:37:45,834 --> 00:37:46,913
Speaker 4: To day life, never come up.

834
00:37:46,954 --> 00:37:49,034
Speaker 5: And then he like treats it and then he's like,

835
00:37:49,074 --> 00:37:51,114
Speaker 5: she's not in pain, she's just uncomfortable.

836
00:37:51,434 --> 00:37:52,913
Speaker 4: That's why she's mooing so much.

837
00:37:53,874 --> 00:37:57,274
Speaker 5: I like that fountain so good, and it's so pleasing

838
00:37:57,274 --> 00:37:58,834
Speaker 5: because you see the infection and then he just like

839
00:37:58,874 --> 00:37:59,834
Speaker 5: scoops it all up.

840
00:37:59,994 --> 00:38:01,954
Speaker 1: I can't believe it hasn't led you to hot Farrier.

841
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:08,274
Speaker 1: He's like full sleeve tattoo, incredibly built dude who just

842
00:38:08,794 --> 00:38:11,354
Speaker 1: like trims horses hoofs. And then when I got that,

843
00:38:11,354 --> 00:38:13,834
Speaker 1: that led me to Thaw the axe chopping guy.

844
00:38:13,994 --> 00:38:17,194
Speaker 4: Yes, the axe chopping guy so hot. Yeah. All he

845
00:38:17,314 --> 00:38:19,913
Speaker 4: does is just chop wood and then breaks it with

846
00:38:19,954 --> 00:38:20,873
Speaker 4: his hands and it gets like.

847
00:38:21,274 --> 00:38:25,234
Speaker 1: With his fair hands with no shirt on sometimes just

848
00:38:25,314 --> 00:38:26,794
Speaker 1: like the suspenders and the pants.

849
00:38:26,834 --> 00:38:29,714
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's like sweating and he's like breathing so heavily,

850
00:38:29,754 --> 00:38:31,434
Speaker 5: and he like gross every time.

851
00:38:32,354 --> 00:38:34,314
Speaker 2: But guys, do you want to see what someone looks

852
00:38:34,354 --> 00:38:37,433
Speaker 2: like at twenty five weeks and three days pregnant with

853
00:38:37,874 --> 00:38:38,714
Speaker 2: Do you want to say that?

854
00:38:38,914 --> 00:38:41,114
Speaker 4: Yeah, your algorithm sounds really feeling right.

855
00:38:44,074 --> 00:38:46,914
Speaker 1: So we had some like fun crowdsourcing from around the

856
00:38:46,954 --> 00:38:48,954
Speaker 1: mom and Mere office as to what had landed in

857
00:38:48,994 --> 00:38:54,674
Speaker 1: other people's algorithms. Honorable mention to rating crunchy autumnal leave. Yes,

858
00:38:54,714 --> 00:38:57,473
Speaker 1: I like like just jumping into big piles of crunchy leaves.

859
00:38:57,754 --> 00:39:00,434
Speaker 1: Stick Nation, which I didn't know existed, is where people

860
00:39:00,634 --> 00:39:04,274
Speaker 1: just show their favorite stick and people like comment on it,

861
00:39:04,434 --> 00:39:06,074
Speaker 1: which is hilarious.

862
00:39:05,554 --> 00:39:08,513
Speaker 2: Claire, that Phil Spoon adjacent, which fills up.

863
00:39:09,274 --> 00:39:11,714
Speaker 4: Don't judge the stick people, Claire, but.

864
00:39:11,674 --> 00:39:14,194
Speaker 1: Also to I fully understand what makes a good stick,

865
00:39:14,314 --> 00:39:14,993
Speaker 1: and I don't know.

866
00:39:14,954 --> 00:39:19,394
Speaker 4: Why, but I think it's girth like girth on a stick.

867
00:39:19,754 --> 00:39:21,634
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want too much girth on a stick

868
00:39:21,714 --> 00:39:22,754
Speaker 1: because it becomes a log.

869
00:39:23,074 --> 00:39:27,913
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, true, you could honestly live in the wilderness

870
00:39:27,954 --> 00:39:30,794
Speaker 2: with your knowledge of that. And who I don't know,

871
00:39:31,394 --> 00:39:32,474
Speaker 2: You're not a city gowt.

872
00:39:33,354 --> 00:39:35,514
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm not. Just give me a cow and a

873
00:39:35,554 --> 00:39:36,474
Speaker 4: log and I'm good to go.

874
00:39:36,874 --> 00:39:39,714
Speaker 1: We did have our hot Fairier and our hot axe man.

875
00:39:39,874 --> 00:39:42,234
Speaker 1: But can we just give an honorable mention also to

876
00:39:42,314 --> 00:39:45,754
Speaker 1: the dilfs of Disneyland and that requires no further explanation.

877
00:39:46,234 --> 00:39:46,714
Speaker 1: I love it.

878
00:39:46,754 --> 00:39:48,634
Speaker 2: I love it out louders. Please let us know in

879
00:39:48,674 --> 00:39:53,074
Speaker 2: the group, what like weird side of Instagram or TikTok

880
00:39:53,114 --> 00:39:56,314
Speaker 2: you found yourself on that you just you find oddly satisfying.

881
00:39:56,794 --> 00:39:58,393
Speaker 2: I think some of us need to shake up our

882
00:39:58,434 --> 00:39:59,554
Speaker 2: algorithms a little bit.

883
00:39:59,794 --> 00:40:02,354
Speaker 1: Yeah, just look up hot axe guy and things will

884
00:40:02,354 --> 00:40:02,994
Speaker 1: start changing.

885
00:40:03,114 --> 00:40:06,954
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Yeah, we will be back in your ears tomorrow.

886
00:40:12,794 --> 00:40:15,754
Speaker 2: Mar Mayer acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on

887
00:40:15,834 --> 00:40:17,674
