138
00:08:06,855 --> 00:08:09,895

Speaker 5: My young boy.

140
00:08:11,015 --> 00:08:13,495

141
00:08:13,655 --> 00:08:14,095
Speaker 6: number one.

142
00:08:14,135 --> 00:08:15,935
Speaker 5: It's because of great music.

143
00:08:15,975 --> 00:08:17,615
Speaker 6: And I'm not being biased here because I'm part of

144
00:08:17,655 --> 00:08:19,655
Speaker 6: the Wiggles, but I'm also a parent and we actually

145
00:08:19,735 --> 00:08:22,375
Speaker 6: use it to our advantage, and it's just, yeah, you

146
00:08:22,415 --> 00:08:25,575

168
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:18,135
Speaker 2: like listening Age, which tells you if you stream more

169
00:09:18,175 --> 00:09:21,055
Speaker 2: like a gen Z or a gen X. And as

170
00:09:21,095 --> 00:09:23,535

173
00:09:30,695 --> 00:09:33,935
Speaker 2: four Team TQ and I feel like Spotify has definitely

174
00:09:33,975 --> 00:09:34,575
Speaker 2: shown us.

175
00:09:34,455 --> 00:09:38,335
Speaker 3: That, oh my god, it is so weird to see

176
00:09:38,335 --> 00:09:40,695
Speaker 3: your entire year's worth of work wrapped up in a

177
00:09:40,735 --> 00:09:43,135
Speaker 3: bunch of data that Spotify has put together. Like things

178
00:09:43,135 --> 00:09:45,415
Speaker 3: that you don't even think about, like what else your

179
00:09:45,415 --> 00:09:48,735
Speaker 3: listeners are listening to and who else? What are the

180
00:09:48,775 --> 00:09:51,415
Speaker 3: podcasts they're into, Like, we get a really good idea

181
00:09:51,455 --> 00:09:53,935
Speaker 3: of who you are listening to this right now from

182
00:09:53,975 --> 00:09:55,895
Speaker 3: the Spotify wrapped It's awesome.

183
00:09:55,935 --> 00:09:57,135
Speaker 4: Yes, to peek behind the curtain.

184
00:09:57,175 --> 00:10:00,375
Speaker 2: You're most used emoji when it comes to engaging with

185
00:10:00,455 --> 00:10:01,935
Speaker 2: Quickie content on the platform.

186
00:10:02,255 --> 00:10:03,935
Speaker 4: It's the humble thumbs up. It is.

187
00:10:04,015 --> 00:10:07,175
Speaker 3: I thought we'd relegated the thumbs up to the dark ages,

188
00:10:07,335 --> 00:10:09,775
Speaker 3: like it was considered a little bit o fai to

189
00:10:09,855 --> 00:10:12,055
Speaker 3: use the thumbs up, but we are keeping it alive

190
00:10:12,095 --> 00:10:13,375
Speaker 3: and well apparently.

191
00:10:13,255 --> 00:10:15,495
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe twenty twenty six, we need to campaign for

192
00:10:15,575 --> 00:10:18,575
Speaker 2: a Quickie specific moji, like if you see it and

193
00:10:18,615 --> 00:10:21,855
Speaker 2: you know, you know kind of thing, Claire, while I've

194
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:23,934
Speaker 2: got you, Is there anything you want to say to

195
00:10:24,095 --> 00:10:26,415
Speaker 2: Quickie listeners in terms of if we made it into

196
00:10:26,455 --> 00:10:28,695
Speaker 2: their Spotify top pods.

197
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,735
Speaker 3: I just will say, first of all, the data does

198
00:10:30,815 --> 00:10:33,895
Speaker 3: show us that we had quite a big growth in

199
00:10:34,015 --> 00:10:36,535
Speaker 3: new listeners this year, So a big thank you to

Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six. It's been an amazing year. It

203
00:10:43,975 --> 00:10:46,495
Speaker 3: was also really exciting to see just how much you

204
00:10:46,575 --> 00:10:50,975
Speaker 3: guys shared our content, and that really excites us because

205
00:10:50,975 --> 00:10:54,175
Speaker 3: the thought of you enjoying what you hear so much

206
00:10:54,335 --> 00:10:57,615
Speaker 3: here and giving that to your mates and saying, hey,

207
00:10:57,735 --> 00:11:00,415
Speaker 3: also listen to this like that makes us really really

208
00:11:00,455 --> 00:11:01,255
Speaker 3: proud of what we do.

209
00:11:01,335 --> 00:11:01,935
Speaker 4: So thank you.

210
00:11:02,255 --> 00:11:04,735
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent echo Claire there. Thank you so

211
00:11:04,855 --> 00:11:07,135
Speaker 2: much because we know that the news sometimes it can

212
00:11:07,135 --> 00:11:08,815
Speaker 2: feel like a chore, so we try and make it

213
00:11:08,895 --> 00:11:12,055
Speaker 2: fun when we can. Claire, before you go, it wouldn't

214
00:11:12,054 --> 00:11:14,775
Speaker 2: be a Spotify rap conversation without asking you this. I'm

215
00:11:14,775 --> 00:11:17,335
Speaker 2: going to expose you a little bit. Tell us what

216
00:11:17,535 --> 00:11:19,695
Speaker 2: is your top artist and top song this year?

217
00:11:20,175 --> 00:11:21,975
Speaker 3: Look, I can't even tell you who my top artist

218
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:24,655
Speaker 3: is because my daughter is hijacked to my Spotify this year,

219
00:11:24,655 --> 00:11:28,215
Speaker 3: and it's some random tune that she heard on Roadblocks,

220
00:11:28,255 --> 00:11:31,814
Speaker 3: which has been played some bajillion thousand times by an

221
00:11:31,895 --> 00:11:34,135
Speaker 3: artist you've never heard of and I've never heard of.

222
00:11:34,375 --> 00:11:37,215
Speaker 3: But I can tell you that in my top podcasts

223
00:11:37,295 --> 00:11:40,735
Speaker 3: because she doesn't listen to podcasts. I'm backing up twenty

224
00:11:40,815 --> 00:11:44,095
Speaker 3: twenty four by listening to just as much search engine

225
00:11:44,135 --> 00:11:47,815
Speaker 3: as I did the year before, and joined by a

226
00:11:47,815 --> 00:11:51,055
Speaker 3: new one this year. Good Hank Amy Poehler's new podcast,

227
00:11:51,054 --> 00:11:52,775
Speaker 3: which is so so good.

228
00:11:52,815 --> 00:11:55,095
Speaker 4: What about you? What's in your top smashing?

229
00:11:55,175 --> 00:11:56,775
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're allowed to say this or

230
00:11:56,815 --> 00:12:00,215
Speaker 2: if the Spotify overlords will be angry, Claire, I don't

231
00:12:00,255 --> 00:12:03,175
Speaker 2: listen to enough on the platform to qualify for a raft,

232
00:12:03,415 --> 00:12:07,175
Speaker 2: and I haven't done for like maybe the last five years.

233
00:12:07,535 --> 00:12:09,735
Speaker 3: How do you even listen to anything?

234
00:12:09,815 --> 00:12:12,015
Speaker 1: What do you how explain.

235
00:12:12,095 --> 00:12:14,055
Speaker 4: This Blue gen Z colleagues' minds.

236
00:12:14,054 --> 00:12:18,575
Speaker 2: When I was describing this yesterday, I listen embrace yourself,

237
00:12:18,615 --> 00:12:20,455
Speaker 2: everybody to the radio.

238
00:12:21,135 --> 00:12:21,815
Speaker 1: Stop it.

239
00:12:22,655 --> 00:12:25,135
Speaker 4: I didn't think we still did that. Once a radio girl,

240
00:12:25,175 --> 00:12:26,255
Speaker 4: always a radio girl.

241
00:12:26,295 --> 00:12:28,495
Speaker 2: Mate, I need someone else to do the curating for

242
00:12:28,655 --> 00:12:31,455
Speaker 2: me in saying that, please keep listening to us on

243

248
00:12:44,215 --> 00:12:48,895

249
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:52,415
Speaker 2: to be a better way to be horny online. Good

250
00:12:52,455 --> 00:12:55,935
Speaker 2: news the Internet, or at least women have moved on.

251
00:12:56,695 --> 00:13:01,935
Speaker 2: Welcome to the era of handies aka picks of men's hands.

252
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:03,695
Speaker 4: Yep, bear with me.

253
00:13:04,015 --> 00:13:06,574
Speaker 2: Whatever your initial reaction to the snooze is right now,

254
00:13:06,695 --> 00:13:10,495
Speaker 2: that was definitely me twenty four hours ago, the serious

255
00:13:10,535 --> 00:13:14,415
Speaker 2: journalist analytes Todd, who brought you such investigations as what

256
00:13:14,535 --> 00:13:17,574
Speaker 2: It's Rose Jail and the New Way to Think about

257
00:13:17,575 --> 00:13:20,255
Speaker 2: Getting Older is back with this analies. Welcome back to

258
00:13:20,295 --> 00:13:20,814
Speaker 2: the quickie.

259
00:13:21,575 --> 00:13:23,415
Speaker 1: It's so good to be back, Taylor.

260
00:13:23,975 --> 00:13:27,295
Speaker 2: Now you're back on your investigative bs. What have you

261
00:13:27,335 --> 00:13:29,775
Speaker 2: brought to us this time? I've been told we're talking

262
00:13:29,775 --> 00:13:34,015
Speaker 2: about the world of handies, and in twenty twenty five

263
00:13:34,095 --> 00:13:37,055
Speaker 2: that maybe the new version of a dick pic.

264
00:13:37,375 --> 00:13:39,455
Speaker 1: Correct. When I first heard about it, I thought this

265
00:13:39,615 --> 00:13:40,055
Speaker 1: was weird.

266
00:13:40,495 --> 00:13:43,615
Speaker 7: I thought, oh no, because I'm quite vanilla and I'm

267
00:13:43,655 --> 00:13:46,655
Speaker 7: not into fetishes. It's like the opposite of like it's

268
00:13:46,655 --> 00:13:49,055
Speaker 7: the quiet ones you've got to watch. But there's a

269
00:13:49,095 --> 00:13:52,814
Speaker 7: sort of subculture of women and they're requesting hand picks,

270
00:13:53,015 --> 00:13:56,135
Speaker 7: so these aren't unsolicited. They're saying, send me pictures of

271
00:13:56,175 --> 00:13:59,615
Speaker 7: your hands. As I was reading this article. It actually

272
00:13:59,615 --> 00:14:03,375
Speaker 7: pointed to a Reddit thread which is a very popular

273
00:14:03,375 --> 00:14:06,455
Speaker 7: and growing reddit thread, and it's got eighty seven thousand

274
00:14:06,495 --> 00:14:10,175
Speaker 7: members and it's literally just men posting photos and videos

275
00:14:10,575 --> 00:14:11,535
Speaker 7: of their hands.

276
00:14:12,295 --> 00:14:14,455
Speaker 2: Talk to me about why women are so obsessed with

277
00:14:15,015 --> 00:14:16,695
Speaker 2: photos of men's hands.

278
00:14:16,735 --> 00:14:20,975
Speaker 1: Now, well, I can also talk about that. I am

279
00:14:21,015 --> 00:14:22,615
Speaker 1: now one of these people.

280
00:14:22,775 --> 00:14:25,215
Speaker 7: Because as I was like looking through these photos and

281
00:14:25,295 --> 00:14:29,135
Speaker 7: videos on the reddit thread, I was surprisingly aroused. I

282
00:14:29,175 --> 00:14:34,535
Speaker 7: think it's because we're so oversaturated with like explicit, gross content.

283
00:14:35,095 --> 00:14:39,175
Speaker 7: You're fortunately not dating. I'm the dating world. People send

284
00:14:39,215 --> 00:14:41,735
Speaker 7: you dick pics or they ask for nude photos. It's

285
00:14:41,775 --> 00:14:45,735
Speaker 7: really icky and really gross, whereas a hand is just

286
00:14:45,895 --> 00:14:51,175
Speaker 7: very wholesome and subtle. It's sensual, it's suggestive without being disgusting.

287
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:52,415
Speaker 4: It's very intimate.

288
00:14:52,495 --> 00:14:53,975
Speaker 2: It's what I want to say, but I can't tell

289
00:14:54,015 --> 00:14:56,775
Speaker 2: you why beyond women getting the rocks off to a

290
00:14:56,775 --> 00:14:59,335
Speaker 2: couple of picks of some hands. Like you said, you've

291
00:14:59,335 --> 00:15:02,375
Speaker 2: gone DPA, You've joined the reddit thread. Yes, now seeking

292
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:05,055
Speaker 2: out pictures of men's hands. Yes, what's the psychology here?

293
00:15:05,055 --> 00:15:05,335
Speaker 5: Though?

294
00:15:05,615 --> 00:15:05,735
Speaker 2: So?

295
00:15:05,935 --> 00:15:11,095
Speaker 7: Really across culture's hands are linked with power protection agency boundaries,

296
00:15:11,655 --> 00:15:14,615
Speaker 7: and so I think there's some sort of like tribal

297
00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:17,855
Speaker 7: thing within us that we look at hands and they

298
00:15:17,895 --> 00:15:20,215
Speaker 7: do mean something to us. You know, if you think

299
00:15:20,255 --> 00:15:24,695
Speaker 7: about intimate moments someone caresses your cheek or if you're

300
00:15:24,695 --> 00:15:27,735
Speaker 7: holding hands with a partner, it is a very intimate

301
00:15:27,775 --> 00:15:30,535
Speaker 7: thing as well as being quite protective as well.

302
00:15:30,895 --> 00:15:32,935
Speaker 2: Are all hands made equal or is it like a

303
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:35,535
Speaker 2: personal preference thing, Like how do we sort of dictate

304
00:15:35,575 --> 00:15:36,895
Speaker 2: what's a good hand, what's a bad hand?

305
00:15:37,415 --> 00:15:40,935
Speaker 7: Well, definitely one of the more popular hands on the

306
00:15:40,975 --> 00:15:44,975
Speaker 7: thread are veins. So veiny hands are the crop tops

307
00:15:45,055 --> 00:15:45,695
Speaker 7: of hands.

308
00:15:46,015 --> 00:15:48,695
Speaker 2: What, Yes, when you say veiny hands, I think of

309
00:15:48,775 --> 00:15:50,775
Speaker 2: like and maybe that says more about me, like.

310
00:15:50,775 --> 00:15:51,695
Speaker 4: Old withered hands.

311
00:15:51,735 --> 00:15:55,255
Speaker 7: No, No, this is like men like with their veins

312
00:15:55,255 --> 00:15:58,415
Speaker 7: are popping out because it's like it's virility, its strength.

313
00:15:58,735 --> 00:16:00,855
Speaker 7: It's like cardiovascular.

314
00:16:00,175 --> 00:16:02,895
Speaker 2: Equivalent of like flexing your muscles is like flexing your hands.

315
00:16:02,735 --> 00:16:04,495
Speaker 1: Made fist literally correct.

316
00:16:04,735 --> 00:16:07,055
Speaker 4: Oh, other kinds of hands are out there.

317
00:16:07,455 --> 00:16:10,055
Speaker 7: Well, my least favorite, I'd have to say, you know,

318
00:16:10,095 --> 00:16:11,775
Speaker 7: and I am biased because I've got a hand fetish

319
00:16:11,855 --> 00:16:12,815
Speaker 7: now bitten nails.

320
00:16:13,495 --> 00:16:14,735
Speaker 1: You know, it's giving that kind of.

321
00:16:14,695 --> 00:16:18,855
Speaker 7: Like anxious raccoon energy, like they do have feelings, deep feelings,

322
00:16:19,135 --> 00:16:22,055
Speaker 7: but they also might need a weighted blanket, you know.

323
00:16:22,135 --> 00:16:25,775
Speaker 7: And then also the thought of like someone biting their nails.

324
00:16:25,415 --> 00:16:27,895
Speaker 1: In front of you and hearing the crunch. No, ill,

325
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:29,735
Speaker 1: like a manicured hand.

326
00:16:29,815 --> 00:16:32,615
Speaker 7: Obviously if they've got obviously they're into self care, they've

327
00:16:32,615 --> 00:16:35,655
Speaker 7: probably got a skin care routine, but they also that

328
00:16:35,855 --> 00:16:36,655
Speaker 7: could be a bit vain.

329
00:16:36,855 --> 00:16:40,535
Speaker 2: Okay, what about like jewelry, tattoos, hairy hands.

330
00:16:40,655 --> 00:16:42,575
Speaker 4: I imagine there's a subculture for everybody.

331
00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:46,055
Speaker 7: Actually on the Reddit thread, there were lots of tattooed hands.

332
00:16:46,055 --> 00:16:50,295
Speaker 7: That's obviously very artistic, very expressive. Callous hands are also

333
00:16:50,335 --> 00:16:53,015
Speaker 7: hot because that's like a trade or maybe a rock climber,

334
00:16:53,375 --> 00:16:55,855
Speaker 7: or they're at the gym, you know. Again, that's that power,

335
00:16:55,935 --> 00:16:57,695
Speaker 7: that strength. They could pick you up and throw you

336
00:16:57,735 --> 00:16:59,015
Speaker 7: on the bed, you know.

337
00:16:59,415 --> 00:17:02,935
Speaker 2: Hand is like the antidote to the more hardcore sexy

338
00:17:02,935 --> 00:17:04,095
Speaker 2: stuff that we see online.

339
00:17:04,335 --> 00:17:06,895
Speaker 7: Yes, which is that's why I think I'm so into it,

340
00:17:06,935 --> 00:17:11,254
Speaker 7: because it's suggestive and sensual without being like yucky and

341
00:17:11,294 --> 00:17:14,375
Speaker 7: ikey and just you know, ramming content down your throat

342
00:17:14,415 --> 00:17:15,215
Speaker 7: that you don't want.

343
00:17:15,455 --> 00:17:19,374
Speaker 2: You absolutely cannot say the word ramming on the quickie.

344
00:17:20,375 --> 00:17:21,894
Speaker 2: Don't even think of that, Okay, So then, will you

345
00:17:21,935 --> 00:17:24,494
Speaker 2: be asking for a hand pick next time you're in

346
00:17:24,494 --> 00:17:25,895
Speaker 2: the throes of a new texting chain.

347
00:17:26,375 --> 00:17:30,534
Speaker 7: No, but I definitely will, and I have already started

348
00:17:30,574 --> 00:17:32,814
Speaker 7: looking at people's hands like men's hands.

349
00:17:32,975 --> 00:17:33,615
Speaker 1: It's like a thing.

350
00:17:33,695 --> 00:17:38,854
