There's an 12 00:00:43,942 --> 00:00:48,142 Speaker 2: actual princess married to a shaman and a generation ex 13 00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:52,062 Speaker 2: princess whose new boyfriend is a dead set manifesting guru. 14 00:00:52,742 --> 00:00:56,342 Speaker 2: Is Woo Woo dude the new status celebrity boyfriend. 15 00:00:56,782 --> 00:00:59,462 Speaker 1: Plus there's a very convincing case for opening a joint 16 00:00:59,502 --> 00:01:01,182 Speaker 1: bank account with your friends. 17 00:01:01,182 --> 00:01:03,902 Speaker 3: And the essay that made me wonder if having kids 18 00:01:04,021 --> 00:01:07,222 Speaker 3: is morally wrong. I am desperately going to try and 19 00:01:07,342 --> 00:01:11,102 Speaker 3: launch a defense I haven't quite worked out yet. But first, 20 00:01:11,422 --> 00:01:14,422 Speaker 3: in case you missed it, people are no longer job 21 00:01:14,502 --> 00:01:18,941 Speaker 3: hopping their job hugging. According to recent research from Bold 22 00:01:19,142 --> 00:01:23,662 Speaker 3: hr SO, job hugging is when an employee stays in 23 00:01:23,702 --> 00:01:26,222 Speaker 3: a role even if they're unhappy or they're finding the 24 00:01:26,302 --> 00:01:30,742 Speaker 3: role unfulfilling, they clutch on for dear. Life and workplace 25 00:01:30,822 --> 00:01:35,662 Speaker 3: expert Rebecca Horton says leaders should be really worried about this, like, 26 00:01:35,702 --> 00:01:39,661 Speaker 3: this isn't a good thing because it's driven by risk aversion, 27 00:01:40,382 --> 00:01:43,422 Speaker 3: economic anxiety, and a lot of it is to do 28 00:01:43,462 --> 00:01:46,102 Speaker 3: with fear of AI. People are feeling unstable within their 29 00:01:46,182 --> 00:01:49,262 Speaker 3: industries and they're going got a hold on here. It 30 00:01:49,342 --> 00:01:52,942 Speaker 3: makes people really burnt out. She says. Everyone is tired 31 00:01:53,142 --> 00:01:56,182 Speaker 3: and it can be a workplace nightmare because these people 32 00:01:56,222 --> 00:02:00,982 Speaker 3: are disengaged. That can impact productivity. Experts worn as well 33 00:02:01,222 --> 00:02:04,782 Speaker 3: that these types of employees aren't loyal, like, don't confuse 34 00:02:04,862 --> 00:02:08,382 Speaker 3: job hugging for loyalty, because the second the job market changes, 35 00:02:08,862 --> 00:02:09,662 Speaker 3: they're all out. 36 00:02:09,702 --> 00:02:09,942 Speaker 1: Once. 37 00:02:10,142 --> 00:02:12,982 Speaker 2: Remember just after COVID, when it kind of there was 38 00:02:13,022 --> 00:02:15,901 Speaker 2: the post COVID flush and suddenly the job hopping thing 39 00:02:15,982 --> 00:02:19,142 Speaker 2: was big. It was like yes, everybody was like I'm 40 00:02:19,142 --> 00:02:21,982 Speaker 2: living my best life now I've learned what matters to me, 41 00:02:22,302 --> 00:02:24,342 Speaker 2: and I'm going to jump jump jump jump jump around 42 00:02:24,382 --> 00:02:26,542 Speaker 2: and now we're all like, rah, the robots are coming 43 00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:27,821 Speaker 2: and we're like, I'm holding. 44 00:02:27,542 --> 00:02:28,302 Speaker 3: On for dear life. 45 00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:30,142 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I felt like the golden number was like 46 00:02:30,142 --> 00:02:32,662 Speaker 1: two years. Remember, like you never really stayed in a 47 00:02:32,702 --> 00:02:34,782 Speaker 1: place for more than two years. That's what we were told. 48 00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:36,582 Speaker 1: You had to go to the next, go to the next, 49 00:02:36,702 --> 00:02:37,462 Speaker 1: keep increasing. 50 00:02:37,622 --> 00:02:39,862 Speaker 3: And it was a lot of people were leaving jobs 51 00:02:39,902 --> 00:02:43,782 Speaker 3: without another job lined up, which I was always in 52 00:02:43,822 --> 00:02:46,542 Speaker 3: awe of because it's like they just went, I will 53 00:02:46,782 --> 00:02:49,782 Speaker 3: jump in the Paris figure it out. Yeah, something will 54 00:02:50,181 --> 00:02:50,661 Speaker 3: will help. 55 00:02:50,742 --> 00:02:53,702 Speaker 2: The thing about hugging, So the term job hugging, and 56 00:02:53,742 --> 00:02:55,862 Speaker 2: I understand the fact that this can be a negative 57 00:02:55,862 --> 00:02:58,862 Speaker 2: thing because you know, if you are over where you work, 58 00:02:59,062 --> 00:03:01,341 Speaker 2: it's better leave, let's be honest, Or you're over the 59 00:03:01,422 --> 00:03:03,782 Speaker 2: job you're doing there better from everyone that you leave, 60 00:03:03,782 --> 00:03:05,982 Speaker 2: even though employers would like you to stay longer than 61 00:03:06,022 --> 00:03:08,221 Speaker 2: two years, ideally because a lot of investment goes into 62 00:03:08,222 --> 00:03:12,181 Speaker 2: finding you, training you, et cetera. But job hugging, if 63 00:03:12,222 --> 00:03:14,702 Speaker 2: that hug is real and it comes with love and 64 00:03:14,822 --> 00:03:18,621 Speaker 2: kisses and you really love it, then sure hug the job, right, 65 00:03:18,862 --> 00:03:21,102 Speaker 2: But it's if the hug is fake and you're keeping 66 00:03:21,102 --> 00:03:22,702 Speaker 2: your groins away exactly. 67 00:03:22,862 --> 00:03:26,062 Speaker 3: Yes, So this is how you can tell some people 68 00:03:26,542 --> 00:03:28,782 Speaker 3: realize the job. My dad has been doing the same 69 00:03:28,862 --> 00:03:29,941 Speaker 3: job for something like thirty years. 70 00:03:29,982 --> 00:03:32,102 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it's great if it's not broke. 71 00:03:31,982 --> 00:03:35,102 Speaker 3: It's not exactly huge hug it tight take that money. 72 00:03:35,742 --> 00:03:38,582 Speaker 3: But there was a psychologist interviewed in this article, and 73 00:03:38,622 --> 00:03:40,862 Speaker 3: she said, if you get a lot of anxiety on 74 00:03:40,902 --> 00:03:45,142 Speaker 3: a Sunday night, if you're irritable, if you are bored, 75 00:03:45,342 --> 00:03:49,062 Speaker 3: and if you feel trapped, then they're all signs that 76 00:03:49,142 --> 00:03:52,982 Speaker 3: you're hugging rather than just happy with where you are. 77 00:03:52,982 --> 00:03:55,342 Speaker 3: Are you guys noticing this even among friends and stuff? 78 00:03:55,542 --> 00:03:57,422 Speaker 1: I think so. But I have a theory that it's 79 00:03:57,462 --> 00:04:00,342 Speaker 1: not because of stability. I feel like it's flexibility that 80 00:04:00,382 --> 00:04:02,222 Speaker 1: people are holding on to, because you know how if 81 00:04:02,222 --> 00:04:04,102 Speaker 1: you just started a job, you couldn't go in on 82 00:04:04,102 --> 00:04:05,422 Speaker 1: the first day and say, oh, do you mind if 83 00:04:05,462 --> 00:04:07,262 Speaker 1: I work from home because I've got a doctor's appointment 84 00:04:07,262 --> 00:04:09,342 Speaker 1: at two pm. I'm good for it, Like you have 85 00:04:09,382 --> 00:04:12,782 Speaker 1: to kind of earn the good will for flexibility. So true. 86 00:04:12,822 --> 00:04:14,182 Speaker 1: So I think if you're in a position where you 87 00:04:14,222 --> 00:04:17,181 Speaker 1: have that you're trusted, then you go, well, I'm onto 88 00:04:17,222 --> 00:04:18,541 Speaker 1: a good thing here, so I'm not going to move 89 00:04:18,582 --> 00:04:20,822 Speaker 1: somewhere else where. I've got to prove myself first. 90 00:04:21,142 --> 00:04:24,382 Speaker 3: And apparently all the stats say as well that job 91 00:04:24,462 --> 00:04:27,222 Speaker 3: mobility is down, like people aren't going yeah, like they 92 00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:30,541 Speaker 3: genuinely aren't hopping. That's just I think all over the world. 93 00:04:30,582 --> 00:04:33,501 Speaker 3: And that's because of you know, the economic climate right now. 94 00:04:33,541 --> 00:04:36,342 Speaker 2: But that makes sense about the flexibility because obviously there's 95 00:04:36,342 --> 00:04:38,901 Speaker 2: been a big pushback into the office because at different 96 00:04:38,902 --> 00:04:40,821 Speaker 2: points in your career, different things are important to you. 97 00:04:40,902 --> 00:04:43,502 Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll take flexibility over more money. Sometimes you'll take 98 00:04:43,541 --> 00:04:46,021 Speaker 2: extra holiday days, et cetera. And other times you're just like, 99 00:04:46,061 --> 00:04:48,902 Speaker 2: absolutely not. It's all about the dollar dollar bills. I mean, 100 00:04:48,902 --> 00:04:50,701 Speaker 2: it's always about the dollar dollar bills. But you know 101 00:04:50,702 --> 00:04:52,101 Speaker 2: what I mean. So, if you've got a young family 102 00:04:52,142 --> 00:04:55,742 Speaker 2: and stuff, flexibilit it's very important. If you have been 103 00:04:55,782 --> 00:04:58,861 Speaker 2: somewhere where you know you've agreed two days in, three 104 00:04:58,941 --> 00:05:01,021 Speaker 2: days out or whatever, and then you're like, I know, 105 00:05:01,101 --> 00:05:03,741 Speaker 2: if I jump, they'll use it as not an excuse 106 00:05:03,782 --> 00:05:05,621 Speaker 2: but a reason to go five days in. 107 00:05:06,262 --> 00:05:09,061 Speaker 1: You're like, huh, yeah, you'd have to negotiate that all 108 00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:09,541 Speaker 1: over again. 109 00:05:09,702 --> 00:05:12,701 Speaker 3: So a few years ago they were talking about quiet 110 00:05:12,821 --> 00:05:17,742 Speaker 3: quitting and there was bare minimum Monday, and acting your 111 00:05:17,782 --> 00:05:19,782 Speaker 3: wage was the other thing. And I was reading all 112 00:05:19,782 --> 00:05:21,861 Speaker 3: of those and I was like, I think they're totally 113 00:05:21,861 --> 00:05:24,382 Speaker 3: compatible with job hugging. I think you can do all 114 00:05:24,421 --> 00:05:27,262 Speaker 3: of those things without leaving your job. Lots of these 115 00:05:27,262 --> 00:05:31,382 Speaker 3: people have probably quietly quit, but sometimes you just got 116 00:05:31,421 --> 00:05:32,342 Speaker 3: to work for the money. 117 00:05:33,222 --> 00:05:36,301 Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a theory, but before I explain the 118 00:05:36,301 --> 00:05:37,821 Speaker 2: theory to you, I need to start with a bit 119 00:05:37,861 --> 00:05:40,861 Speaker 2: of a recommendation. Okay, have either of you two watched 120 00:05:40,902 --> 00:05:44,741 Speaker 2: The Royal Rebels on Netflix? No, I'm offended. I've been 121 00:05:44,741 --> 00:05:46,662 Speaker 2: telling you that the word royal in it. I've been 122 00:05:46,662 --> 00:05:49,261 Speaker 2: telling Jess to watch it four weeks so I've offended. 123 00:05:49,342 --> 00:05:52,902 Speaker 3: But I started Slow Horses. Has anyone watched Slow Horn? 124 00:05:53,541 --> 00:05:56,581 Speaker 2: Amazing? Did you start at season one? I did, mate, 125 00:05:56,702 --> 00:05:57,942 Speaker 2: It's one of the best things on TV. 126 00:05:58,381 --> 00:06:00,262 Speaker 3: Well, there's a bonus recommendation there, you go. 127 00:06:00,381 --> 00:06:06,222 Speaker 2: Some of my recommendations are good tough, all right, So 128 00:06:06,262 --> 00:06:09,501 Speaker 2: what The Royal Rebels is. It's one of those PR 129 00:06:09,702 --> 00:06:12,301 Speaker 2: documentaries that we talked about the other week procumentaries. 130 00:06:12,462 --> 00:06:14,341 Speaker 1: Oh so like David Beckham's. 131 00:06:14,421 --> 00:06:18,142 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a movie length documentary made directed by 132 00:06:18,142 --> 00:06:19,981 Speaker 2: the person who won an Emmy for doing Tiger King. 133 00:06:20,222 --> 00:06:23,941 Speaker 2: So very very classy, well made docco but made one 134 00:06:24,022 --> 00:06:26,621 Speaker 2: hundred percent with the cooperation of the royals in question 135 00:06:27,061 --> 00:06:31,142 Speaker 2: and the royals in question. It's about a Norwegian princess, 136 00:06:31,462 --> 00:06:33,181 Speaker 2: so she's not first in line, so she's a bit 137 00:06:33,222 --> 00:06:34,782 Speaker 2: like Prince Harry, and that she could be the more 138 00:06:34,821 --> 00:06:38,622 Speaker 2: rebellious one right, called Marta Louise, And it follows the 139 00:06:38,702 --> 00:06:42,142 Speaker 2: lead up to her second marriage to a shaman called 140 00:06:42,662 --> 00:06:44,141 Speaker 2: Dorik Veret Holly. 141 00:06:44,222 --> 00:06:46,221 Speaker 1: This is probably something I should know by this age, 142 00:06:46,262 --> 00:06:47,821 Speaker 1: But what is a no? 143 00:06:47,902 --> 00:06:52,301 Speaker 2: Please?

She is lovely, like just the 175 00:08:30,662 --> 00:08:34,542 Speaker 2: loveliest right. But she herself has always been a big searcher, 176 00:08:34,622 --> 00:08:37,102 Speaker 2: so she all through her life obviously she had loads 177 00:08:37,102 --> 00:08:38,742 Speaker 2: of press on her in Norway, just like all the 178 00:08:38,822 --> 00:08:41,381 Speaker 2: royals do in their home countries. And she's always been 179 00:08:41,381 --> 00:08:44,942 Speaker 2: the rebel, so she's always explored alternative therapies. She's got 180 00:08:44,942 --> 00:08:47,742 Speaker 2: an angel healing clinic. I don't know what that is, 181 00:08:47,862 --> 00:08:51,662 Speaker 2: but anyway, this doco is great because it basically follows them. 182 00:08:51,902 --> 00:08:54,062 Speaker 2: They've been dating now since twenty eighteen, so quite a 183 00:08:54,102 --> 00:08:58,062 Speaker 2: long time. It follows them as they decide to get 184 00:08:58,062 --> 00:09:00,982 Speaker 2: married and get married, and it's got all the really 185 00:09:01,062 --> 00:09:03,822 Speaker 2: juicy ingredients. Basically, Martin Luise is like, let's just have 186 00:09:03,822 --> 00:09:06,622 Speaker 2: a quiet little wedding and directs like absolutely not. He's like, 187 00:09:06,622 --> 00:09:08,062 Speaker 2: if I'm going to be the first black man to 188 00:09:08,062 --> 00:09:12,062 Speaker 2: marry into and Ryalty, I want all the bells and whistles, 189 00:09:12,182 --> 00:09:15,022 Speaker 2: hyper visibility, Like why not? Right, So they have this big, 190 00:09:15,062 --> 00:09:17,742 Speaker 2: fancy wedding at one point, the King of Norway has 191 00:09:17,782 --> 00:09:19,262 Speaker 2: to come out and make a statement because the press, 192 00:09:19,262 --> 00:09:21,862 Speaker 2: of course are horribly racist against him and also suggesting 193 00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:25,462 Speaker 2: that he's blackmailing her, that there's something really dodgy about him. 194 00:09:25,822 --> 00:09:27,862 Speaker 2: And the King of Norway comes out at one point 195 00:09:27,942 --> 00:09:30,302 Speaker 2: and issues a statement to the press telling the multiple 196 00:09:30,342 --> 00:09:32,542 Speaker 2: the heads in and that they are being racist. This 197 00:09:32,662 --> 00:09:34,862 Speaker 2: was all happening around the same time as Harry and Meggs, 198 00:09:34,902 --> 00:09:36,902 Speaker 2: and Harry actually called out that statement a one time 199 00:09:36,942 --> 00:09:38,582 Speaker 2: and said, I wish my family would do this, but 200 00:09:38,662 --> 00:09:42,062 Speaker 2: they won't. Really, so this was all going on at 201 00:09:42,062 --> 00:09:45,261 Speaker 2: the same time. Okay, but it's really good doco and 202 00:09:45,302 --> 00:09:48,702 Speaker 2: I couldn'tcommend it enough. But it's also very interesting, which 203 00:09:48,782 --> 00:09:51,422 Speaker 2: leads me to my theory in that watching this woman 204 00:09:51,462 --> 00:09:54,502 Speaker 2: who could pretty much have dated anyone in the world 205 00:09:54,662 --> 00:09:56,622 Speaker 2: right in terms of the fact she's got status, she's 206 00:09:56,622 --> 00:09:59,862 Speaker 2: got money, she's charismatic, attractive, she's got her kids out 207 00:09:59,902 --> 00:10:02,902 Speaker 2: of the way, she's d D D DA is choosing this 208 00:10:03,302 --> 00:10:08,942 Speaker 2: very interesting experiential spiritual leader, which brings me to our 209 00:10:08,942 --> 00:10:12,582 Speaker 2: friend Jennifer Anniston. One could argue a different kind of 210 00:10:12,582 --> 00:10:19,302 Speaker 2: princess generation princes absolute My princess Princess Jen She's got 211 00:10:19,302 --> 00:10:22,462 Speaker 2: a new boyfriend and he's called Jim Curtis. They've been 212 00:10:22,502 --> 00:10:25,022 Speaker 2: seen together since June this year.

Let it 232 00:11:14,262 --> 00:11:17,822 Speaker 3: go Wow, Jim Wow. 233 00:11:17,502 --> 00:11:18,342 Speaker 1: I feel attacked. 234 00:11:18,742 --> 00:11:22,302 Speaker 2: So thank you, Jim. 235 00:11:23,062 --> 00:11:26,662 Speaker 3: So he is a hypnotist and this is part of 236 00:11:26,702 --> 00:11:31,142 Speaker 3: a broader trend, right, because Holly, we were talking. You've 237 00:11:31,182 --> 00:11:33,942 Speaker 3: been wanting to talk about Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend because the 238 00:11:33,942 --> 00:11:37,302 Speaker 3: moment you saw this smiss and you said it's the 239 00:11:37,422 --> 00:11:40,462 Speaker 3: new Silicon Valley tech bro. Yes, he's out of favor 240 00:11:40,582 --> 00:11:43,542 Speaker 3: right now. Right, we've just gone you've not done good 241 00:11:43,542 --> 00:11:46,342 Speaker 3: things to the planet. We don't trust you anymore. Miranda 242 00:11:46,422 --> 00:11:50,702 Speaker 3: Kerr married one, and now there's this shift towards this 243 00:11:51,062 --> 00:11:57,262 Speaker 3: ultra spiritual witchy woo woo partner, which says something about status. Right, 244 00:11:57,342 --> 00:11:59,502 Speaker 3: So I remember Andrew Garfield was with the. 245 00:11:59,462 --> 00:12:03,742 Speaker 1: Witch, yes, the witch doctor, the witch got professional witch. 246 00:12:05,502 --> 00:12:08,702 Speaker 3: And then they broke up. And then Brad Pitt after 247 00:12:08,742 --> 00:12:12,302 Speaker 3: Angelina Joel also dated and I want to get this 248 00:12:12,622 --> 00:12:17,902 Speaker 3: language correct, a spiritual guru named sat Haari Kalsa. She 249 00:12:18,222 --> 00:12:20,182 Speaker 3: was like, did jewelry and stuff, but she was also 250 00:12:20,302 --> 00:12:24,502 Speaker 3: very very spiritual. Katie Perry titled her album her Angel Numbers. 251 00:12:24,542 --> 00:12:28,582 Speaker 3: Like Hollywood is leaning into this. Gwyneth Paltrow always adjacent. 252 00:12:28,742 --> 00:12:31,422 Speaker 3: She has every type of healer, every type of Crystal 253 00:12:31,982 --> 00:12:34,462 Speaker 3: and Jennifer Aniston. I think it's important because it was 254 00:12:34,502 --> 00:12:39,222 Speaker 3: the same with your Norwegian princess. They've always been wu right, 255 00:12:39,302 --> 00:12:42,582 Speaker 3: Like Jennifer Aniston has always loved a Psyche, she's always 256 00:12:42,622 --> 00:12:47,302 Speaker 3: loved a Crystal. And it's almost like, during uncertain times, 257 00:12:48,182 --> 00:12:51,302 Speaker 3: maybe it would be nice being with someone who appears 258 00:12:51,382 --> 00:12:53,462 Speaker 3: to have access to a higher power and they're like, 259 00:12:54,382 --> 00:12:56,582 Speaker 3: everything's fine, Everything's gonna be okay. 260 00:12:56,662 --> 00:13:00,022 Speaker 1: Well, famously, the poor celebrities have really tough life, so. 261 00:13:00,022 --> 00:13:03,462 Speaker 3: Exactly they need to want to hold their hands help through. 262 00:13:04,062 --> 00:13:06,662 Speaker 2: Well, but look at it this way, right, these are 263 00:13:06,742 --> 00:13:10,622 Speaker 2: people who have reached a level of like financial security 264 00:13:10,622 --> 00:13:12,942 Speaker 2: and stuff that the rest of us are like, that 265 00:13:12,982 --> 00:13:15,102 Speaker 2: would be nice, all we think, but also we're like, oh, 266 00:13:15,102 --> 00:13:17,182 Speaker 2: you'd have nothing to worry about. But they clearly still 267 00:13:17,182 --> 00:13:20,102 Speaker 2: have plenty of things to worry right, But that's not 268 00:13:20,142 --> 00:13:21,942 Speaker 2: one of them, and they might have a lot of 269 00:13:21,942 --> 00:13:25,462 Speaker 2: healers on their payroll. I remember Elizabeth Gilbert saying in 270 00:13:25,502 --> 00:13:27,302 Speaker 2: that on that press tour for her book that she 271 00:13:27,382 --> 00:13:30,062 Speaker 2: recently did that before she got sober. And when I 272 00:13:30,102 --> 00:13:32,342 Speaker 2: say sober, I just mean because it was from love 273 00:13:32,382 --> 00:13:34,862 Speaker 2: and sex addiction. She said the number of healers I 274 00:13:34,902 --> 00:13:37,782 Speaker 2: had on my payroll, between my therapists and my psychologists 275 00:13:37,822 --> 00:13:40,022 Speaker 2: and then my energy healer and my psychic and my 276 00:13:40,102 --> 00:13:41,982 Speaker 2: this and my that. She's like I was paying a 277 00:13:42,022 --> 00:13:44,142 Speaker 2: small army of people to just help me get through 278 00:13:44,182 --> 00:13:47,062 Speaker 2: the day. And I reckon that would not be unusual 279 00:13:47,742 --> 00:13:50,622 Speaker 2: in these circles. So they're gonna rub up against the 280 00:13:50,702 --> 00:13:53,022 Speaker 2: charismatic sexy healers. 281 00:13:53,262 --> 00:13:56,702 Speaker 3: It's very la as well. So this Jim apparently wants 282 00:13:56,742 --> 00:13:58,902 Speaker 3: to be the next Oprah. That's some gossip I read. 283 00:13:58,942 --> 00:14:00,582 Speaker 2: If I wanted to be the next Oprah, I would 284 00:14:00,622 --> 00:14:04,062 Speaker 2: date Jennifer Aniston. She's friends with Iprah of course, and 285 00:14:04,222 --> 00:14:05,902 Speaker 2: also Manifestation. 286 00:14:06,302 --> 00:14:09,742 Speaker 3: I know he has manifested so hard. He all so 287 00:14:09,982 --> 00:14:11,822 Speaker 3: has a book I did, And do you want to 288 00:14:11,862 --> 00:14:13,022 Speaker 3: hear what the title of the book is? 289 00:14:13,142 --> 00:14:13,542 Speaker 1: Please? 290 00:14:13,862 --> 00:14:15,982 Speaker 3: How Jennifer Aniston fixed my broken? 291 00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:16,142 Speaker 1: Oh? 292 00:14:16,222 --> 00:14:19,542 Speaker 3: He start read on Yahoo? Okay. 293 00:14:19,702 --> 00:14:22,422 Speaker 2: If he does that, he is out. Jenna is not 294 00:14:22,462 --> 00:14:24,342 Speaker 2: going to hang around for that. She would have to 295 00:14:24,382 --> 00:14:26,622 Speaker 2: be so certain. If you're Jennifer Aniston and you've been 296 00:14:26,662 --> 00:14:29,622 Speaker 2: through all that she has been through, the tabloid troughs 297 00:14:29,622 --> 00:14:34,222 Speaker 2: and tribulations, the twenty million she's pregnant. Miracle Twins did, 298 00:14:34,542 --> 00:14:38,422 Speaker 2: oh poor her, she's been you know, wronged again. Deanngela like, 299 00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:40,222 Speaker 2: if you've been through all that, the last thing you 300 00:14:40,302 --> 00:14:41,862 Speaker 2: want is a guy who's going to write a book 301 00:14:41,902 --> 00:14:42,582 Speaker 2: about Yes. 302 00:14:42,622 --> 00:14:45,142 Speaker 3: But then I did read she's under the spell. That's 303 00:14:45,262 --> 00:14:49,142 Speaker 3: the thing I did, well said cluck like a chicken 304 00:14:49,182 --> 00:14:49,982 Speaker 3: if you need hell. 305 00:14:50,102 --> 00:14:53,862 Speaker 1: Yeah, Andrew Garfield's professional witch girlfriend got accused of putting 306 00:14:53,902 --> 00:14:56,262 Speaker 1: a love spell on him until they broke up. Obviously, 307 00:14:56,662 --> 00:14:58,142 Speaker 1: but maybe the same is happening. 308 00:14:58,382 --> 00:15:01,022 Speaker 3: That's the thing. People aren't trustworthy because they're like, has 309 00:15:01,062 --> 00:15:02,662 Speaker 3: he carved a spell on her? And then everyone went 310 00:15:02,702 --> 00:15:04,022 Speaker 3: and looked at his Instagram and they were like, no, 311 00:15:04,142 --> 00:15:05,062 Speaker 3: he's just really old. 312 00:15:05,142 --> 00:15:05,342 Speaker 2: Yeah. 313 00:15:05,862 --> 00:15:07,102 Speaker 3: I think that he's just got a. 314 00:15:07,102 --> 00:15:10,702 Speaker 2: Lot of quite attractive I think you would feel safe. 315 00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:12,822 Speaker 2: I think to your point earlier, Jesse, I think you've 316 00:15:12,902 --> 00:15:15,142 Speaker 2: nail it. I think it's funny that you're suggesting these 317 00:15:15,142 --> 00:15:17,262 Speaker 2: people are Charlatan's when you're the ones who may all 318 00:15:17,262 --> 00:15:19,822 Speaker 2: get our tarot cards read alive on the podcast. But 319 00:15:20,862 --> 00:15:23,542 Speaker 2: I think that to your point earlier, I think that 320 00:15:23,702 --> 00:15:27,022 Speaker 2: in an uncertain world, the tech bros are definitely on 321 00:15:27,062 --> 00:15:31,582 Speaker 2: the nose other like middle aged male Hollywood actors are 322 00:15:31,622 --> 00:15:34,262 Speaker 2: also very like. Think about how the gen X male 323 00:15:34,342 --> 00:15:37,102 Speaker 2: celebrities have fared in recent years, like your brads and 324 00:15:37,302 --> 00:15:40,622 Speaker 2: Johnny Depps, and you're like, ick, no, no, whereas this 325 00:15:41,102 --> 00:15:45,702 Speaker 2: rich seam tapped rich ship of handsome, hot, very in 326 00:15:45,822 --> 00:15:49,502 Speaker 2: shape healers, I think you'd feel very safe. I predict 327 00:15:49,582 --> 00:15:51,382 Speaker 2: that Nicole Kidman's going to be next. 328 00:15:51,982 --> 00:15:53,902 Speaker 1: I was about to say this hollyway and right.

The other thing she said is she 345 00:16:36,022 --> 00:16:37,502 Speaker 3: kept saying, you're going on a holiday. It's going to 346 00:16:37,542 --> 00:16:38,742 Speaker 3: be to a city. It's gonna be to a city. 347 00:16:38,782 --> 00:16:40,542 Speaker 3: And I was like, no, I've got a holiday booked 348 00:16:40,702 --> 00:16:44,302 Speaker 3: and it's beachy like anyway over the weekend.

Is the decision 357 00:17:09,101 --> 00:17:12,582 Speaker 3: ultimately self interested? And how does one square bringing children 358 00:17:12,662 --> 00:17:15,221 Speaker 3: into the world given the threat of climate change? 359 00:17:15,462 --> 00:17:17,462 Speaker 2: Just a few little questions for Friday afternoon. 360 00:17:17,621 --> 00:17:20,901 Speaker 3: Look bleak. I know it's blak, but there was a 361 00:17:21,022 --> 00:17:25,422 Speaker 3: brilliant essay by Breeley published by the ABSA recently that 362 00:17:25,901 --> 00:17:29,262 Speaker 3: really got me thinking. So she says that we've seen 363 00:17:29,542 --> 00:17:32,942 Speaker 3: this rise in the pronatalist movement, So think Elon Musk 364 00:17:32,982 --> 00:17:36,341 Speaker 3: with his at least fourteen kids. Vladimir Putin has set 365 00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:39,302 Speaker 3: up an award in Russia for women who have ten 366 00:17:39,381 --> 00:17:41,502 Speaker 3: children in less than ten years, like it's some sort 367 00:17:41,502 --> 00:17:42,061 Speaker 3: of competition. 368 00:17:42,182 --> 00:17:46,581 Speaker 2: So she's tired, she needs an award awards Snickers bars. 369 00:17:46,581 --> 00:17:49,182 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think also maybe an appointment to pelvic floor 370 00:17:49,182 --> 00:17:52,221 Speaker 3: physio After all of that. Every religion, as well as 371 00:17:52,262 --> 00:17:54,742 Speaker 3: every economic policy tells us that having kids is a 372 00:17:54,782 --> 00:17:55,142 Speaker 3: good thing. 373 00:17:55,381 --> 00:17:55,581 Speaker 1: Right. 374 00:17:56,061 --> 00:18:00,701 Speaker 3: But alongside pro natalism has been another taboo movement growing 375 00:18:00,861 --> 00:18:03,221 Speaker 3: over the last twenty or so years, and it is 376 00:18:03,262 --> 00:18:08,141 Speaker 3: called anti natalism. David Bennetta is the world's most prominent 377 00:18:08,422 --> 00:18:12,262 Speaker 3: anti natalist, and he says that having kids is morally wrong. 378 00:18:12,462 --> 00:18:15,421 Speaker 3: All it does is create more suffering. That child doesn't 379 00:18:15,462 --> 00:18:17,742 Speaker 3: exist yet, so you can't be having kids for their sake. 380 00:18:17,901 --> 00:18:21,741 Speaker 3: They're not consenting to being created. Given climate change is 381 00:18:21,782 --> 00:18:25,542 Speaker 3: bringing with it extreme heat, food shortages, conflict. I could 382 00:18:25,581 --> 00:18:28,742 Speaker 3: go on. They will face conditions worse than our own. 383 00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:32,142 Speaker 2: Jesus, is this making you feel really anxious because you're 384 00:18:32,141 --> 00:18:32,581 Speaker 2: brewing a. 385 00:18:32,542 --> 00:18:34,941 Speaker 3: Couple of babies exactly right? And I will say I 386 00:18:35,061 --> 00:18:37,621 Speaker 3: meant to have one, so don't come for me. 387 00:18:37,661 --> 00:18:40,982 Speaker 2: Anti natalists I think it's okay. I think I don't 388 00:18:40,982 --> 00:18:43,141 Speaker 2: want you to get anxious about his predictions anyways. 389 00:18:43,341 --> 00:18:46,302 Speaker 3: On I feel sick saying all of that out loud, 390 00:18:46,341 --> 00:18:48,982 Speaker 3: but I think most people with kids are thinking it anyway. 391 00:18:49,542 --> 00:18:52,502 Speaker 3: Abby Chatfield posted a similar question on TikTok a few 392 00:18:52,502 --> 00:18:54,022 Speaker 3: weeks ago. Here's what she asked. 393 00:18:54,341 --> 00:18:56,341 Speaker 4: Parents, don't get mad and I ask you this, Okay, 394 00:18:56,341 --> 00:18:58,862 Speaker 4: I have an actual question for you, and I'm asking 395 00:18:58,861 --> 00:19:02,221 Speaker 4: this in the most earnest way possible. This is not 396 00:19:02,262 --> 00:19:05,262 Speaker 4: a gotcha. This is a genuine, genuine question to parents 397 00:19:05,381 --> 00:19:08,782 Speaker 4: or people who are pregnant, or people who have decided 398 00:19:08,782 --> 00:19:11,381 Speaker 4: to have a baby, like doing IVF or something. People 399 00:19:11,422 --> 00:19:14,061 Speaker 4: who either have had a baby or have decided to 400 00:19:14,101 --> 00:19:16,701 Speaker 4: have a baby in the past year or two. Okay, 401 00:19:16,982 --> 00:19:22,262 Speaker 4: how do you rationalize having a baby with the climate crisis? 402 00:19:22,702 --> 00:19:26,101 Speaker 3: I suppose I would love to ask you both the 403 00:19:26,182 --> 00:19:27,861 Speaker 3: same question, Holly. 404 00:19:29,141 --> 00:19:31,861 Speaker 2: I think it's a fair question to ask, right, Like, 405 00:19:31,942 --> 00:19:34,742 Speaker 2: I genuinely do any question that you have. 406 00:19:34,742 --> 00:19:38,502 Speaker 3: To do that much set up about, you know it's 407 00:19:38,502 --> 00:19:39,542 Speaker 3: going to believe me. 408 00:19:39,861 --> 00:19:42,061 Speaker 2: I work in the same world, I know, But like, 409 00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:44,542 Speaker 2: if you have to set the question up that many 410 00:19:44,621 --> 00:19:46,821 Speaker 2: times and you know it's going to piss a lot 411 00:19:46,821 --> 00:19:49,661 Speaker 2: of people off, and I have not seen the responses 412 00:19:49,661 --> 00:19:52,262 Speaker 2: to that, but I can only imagine. So Brealley is 413 00:19:52,302 --> 00:19:57,102 Speaker 2: an author, a writer who is I think she's extraordinarily good. 414 00:19:57,141 --> 00:20:00,782 Speaker 2: She writes really interesting offbeat stuff. And her new novel 415 00:20:01,061 --> 00:20:03,341 Speaker 2: it's called Seed. I've read it. I've blurbed it because 416 00:20:03,381 --> 00:20:06,181 Speaker 2: I really liked it and it explores this. But she 417 00:20:06,422 --> 00:20:11,621 Speaker 2: says that she very deliberately may the protagonist in the book, 418 00:20:11,821 --> 00:20:14,262 Speaker 2: who is a passionate anti natalist who ticks all the 419 00:20:14,302 --> 00:20:16,862 Speaker 2: boxes you said, Jesse basically thinks that it's an immoral 420 00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:20,941 Speaker 2: choice to breed. People are inherently greedy and you know, 421 00:20:21,422 --> 00:20:25,661 Speaker 2: would just trample all over everything to further ourselves, is 422 00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:27,701 Speaker 2: a man. She deliberately made him a man because she 423 00:20:27,782 --> 00:20:29,861 Speaker 2: knew that if she made that protagonist a woman, because 424 00:20:29,861 --> 00:20:32,382 Speaker 2: it's fiction, the criticism would just all be about her 425 00:20:32,502 --> 00:20:34,381 Speaker 2: and whether or not she personally wants to have a 426 00:20:34,381 --> 00:20:37,101 Speaker 2: baby or personally doesn't, which is not something she wants 427 00:20:37,141 --> 00:20:40,022 Speaker 2: to discuss. She wants to discuss the idea and it's 428 00:20:40,022 --> 00:20:43,261 Speaker 2: a very good book, but the problem, which is represented 429 00:20:43,302 --> 00:20:45,022 Speaker 2: by how many set ups Abby had to do in 430 00:20:45,022 --> 00:20:49,902 Speaker 2: that question is about asking a very intellectual, very theoretical, 431 00:20:50,101 --> 00:20:57,262 Speaker 2: very philosophical question about such a personal primal decision. Is 432 00:20:57,302 --> 00:21:00,982 Speaker 2: it's almost impossible to separate them. I can probably separate 433 00:21:01,022 --> 00:21:03,581 Speaker 2: them a bit more now because my kids are older, 434 00:21:04,061 --> 00:21:05,941 Speaker 2: but that's not to say that this wasn't all around 435 00:21:06,101 --> 00:21:09,542 Speaker 2: then too. Like my youngest is thirteen. Certainly, the class 436 00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:12,342 Speaker 2: crisis has been a thing. My mum has always been 437 00:21:12,462 --> 00:21:15,221 Speaker 2: very much She's very you know, outspoken boomer that she is. 438 00:21:15,502 --> 00:21:17,621 Speaker 2: You should never have more than two. Sorry, Jesse, you're. 439 00:21:17,462 --> 00:21:20,661 Speaker 1: Gonna but it's okay, Jesse. I only have one, so 440 00:21:21,101 --> 00:21:25,621 Speaker 1: you and each other's fine. Her argument would be replace yourselves. 441 00:21:26,262 --> 00:21:28,182 Speaker 1: So this argument's been going on for a long time. 442 00:21:28,502 --> 00:21:32,502 Speaker 1: I don't feel attacked by this idea, but what I 443 00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:36,022 Speaker 1: do understand is that this concept sort of exposes my 444 00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:40,941 Speaker 1: limitations because I feel deeply for the state of the world, 445 00:21:41,302 --> 00:21:44,181 Speaker 1: but I also have to look at my kids and 446 00:21:44,262 --> 00:21:47,221 Speaker 1: kind of think, and I know this is very imperfect thinking. 447 00:21:48,101 --> 00:21:54,302 Speaker 1: Every generation has its challenges, so'll figure it out. Wildly optimistic, 448 00:21:54,621 --> 00:21:59,341 Speaker 1: I would suggest how I found this question very confronting. 449 00:21:59,381 --> 00:22:01,702 Speaker 1: I remember watching this video for the first time, but 450 00:22:01,782 --> 00:22:04,421 Speaker 1: the main reason I found it confronting is because I 451 00:22:04,462 --> 00:22:07,622 Speaker 1: probably didn't interrogate that at all. And I think if 452 00:22:07,621 --> 00:22:09,982 Speaker 1: you ask a lot of people, definitely not in gen Z. 453 00:22:10,061 --> 00:22:12,302 Speaker 1: I think they are a lot more considered with their 454 00:22:12,341 --> 00:22:15,141 Speaker 1: decision making around whether to start a family or not. 455 00:22:15,542 --> 00:22:17,901 Speaker 1: And we should say that this is not talking about 456 00:22:18,022 --> 00:22:20,701 Speaker 1: people who choose to be child free. No's an anti 457 00:22:20,782 --> 00:22:23,462 Speaker 1: natal movement. They're talking about regardless of whether you want 458 00:22:23,502 --> 00:22:25,742 Speaker 1: one or not, you should do it. Yea, yeah, yeah, 459 00:22:26,022 --> 00:22:28,262 Speaker 1: But I think the millennials are probably the last generation 460 00:22:28,341 --> 00:22:31,982 Speaker 1: that kind of just went along with you know, that's 461 00:22:31,982 --> 00:22:33,982 Speaker 1: what you do. You get married and you have a kid. 462 00:22:34,022 --> 00:22:36,862 Speaker 1: The majority of us probably thought about what we wanted 463 00:22:36,982 --> 00:22:40,422 Speaker 1: and not really so much around what would the state 464 00:22:40,422 --> 00:22:42,421 Speaker 1: of the world be once we had those children. Do 465 00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:44,742 Speaker 1: you feel the same We're around the same age. 466 00:22:44,462 --> 00:22:47,662 Speaker 3: I reckon I did think about it. I had a 467 00:22:48,341 --> 00:22:50,381 Speaker 3: moment with my family that I've talked about. They got 468 00:22:50,381 --> 00:22:52,581 Speaker 3: trapped in a bush fire just before twenty twenty, so 469 00:22:52,621 --> 00:22:55,061 Speaker 3: end of twenty nineteen, and it was like summer fliers, 470 00:22:55,222 --> 00:22:58,701 Speaker 3: YEP and apocalyptic experience. They got trapped. The sky was 471 00:22:59,022 --> 00:23:02,782 Speaker 3: black red for days, fridges were broken. I could barely 472 00:23:02,821 --> 00:23:06,502 Speaker 3: contact them, like it was terrifying, and I I've always 473 00:23:06,621 --> 00:23:12,141 Speaker 3: been really engaged in discussions about climate change because it 474 00:23:12,462 --> 00:23:15,302 Speaker 3: terrifies me and because you know, I believe in it. 475 00:23:16,302 --> 00:23:23,262 Speaker 3: And then I think I've come to the conclusion that 476 00:23:23,661 --> 00:23:26,981 Speaker 3: not every decision is an intellectual one, and then I 477 00:23:27,022 --> 00:23:29,182 Speaker 3: think what we try and do is intellectualize it after 478 00:23:29,222 --> 00:23:31,981 Speaker 3: the fact. I know a lot of people in their 479 00:23:32,022 --> 00:23:34,581 Speaker 3: twenties who say I don't want children for this reason. 480 00:23:35,341 --> 00:23:37,181 Speaker 3: A lot of my friends were exactly the same. They 481 00:23:37,222 --> 00:23:39,981 Speaker 3: were going, I'm not bringing children into this world. And 482 00:23:40,022 --> 00:23:42,621 Speaker 3: then you hit your mid thirties and something changes. And 483 00:23:42,621 --> 00:23:46,181 Speaker 3: I am not saying that, even just anecdotally, statistically something changes. 484 00:23:46,222 --> 00:23:48,061 Speaker 3: There is all this data that says for all the 485 00:23:48,141 --> 00:23:52,102 Speaker 3: talk about climate and people saying that it terrifies them 486 00:23:52,182 --> 00:23:56,341 Speaker 3: when it comes to having kids, the actual impact when 487 00:23:56,381 --> 00:23:59,982 Speaker 3: people don't have kids, it might be because they don't 488 00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:04,782 Speaker 3: have a partner, or because finances or whatever like generally. 489 00:24:04,982 --> 00:24:06,782 Speaker 2: But it is true that the birth rate is dropping. 490 00:24:06,942 --> 00:24:08,742 Speaker 2: It is just not for this reason. 491 00:24:08,861 --> 00:24:11,182 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sure that there are some there are absolutely 492 00:24:11,182 --> 00:24:12,821 Speaker 3: going to be people listening who are like, that's why 493 00:24:12,861 --> 00:24:16,022 Speaker 3: I didn't have them, But statistically it's not as relevant 494 00:24:16,061 --> 00:24:19,022 Speaker 3: as some other reasons. But another comment I saw on 495 00:24:19,101 --> 00:24:21,982 Speaker 3: Abby Chatfield's video that did resonate with me was that 496 00:24:22,022 --> 00:24:25,302 Speaker 3: it's a radical act of optimism. And I've never been 497 00:24:25,341 --> 00:24:28,422 Speaker 3: more future oriented. That is not to say people without 498 00:24:28,502 --> 00:24:32,061 Speaker 3: children are not, but never been more future oriented since 499 00:24:32,101 --> 00:24:35,022 Speaker 3: having Luna. I always think that when Luna came along, 500 00:24:35,022 --> 00:24:37,542 Speaker 3: I went from being a fundamental pessimist to an optimist 501 00:24:37,661 --> 00:24:39,462 Speaker 3: because I had to be like I had to look 502 00:24:39,462 --> 00:24:41,941 Speaker 3: at the future and go things are going to be great, 503 00:24:42,462 --> 00:24:45,461 Speaker 3: whether or not. I truly believe that. I think you. 504 00:24:45,982 --> 00:24:49,901 Speaker 2: Look around and things are probably not going to be 505 00:24:49,942 --> 00:24:53,101 Speaker 2: great in all kinds of ways. But on an individual level, 506 00:24:53,182 --> 00:24:55,021 Speaker 2: you could look around and point to people who are 507 00:24:55,022 --> 00:24:57,662 Speaker 2: really trying to do really good things, you know, yes, 508 00:24:57,821 --> 00:25:00,661 Speaker 2: And you can point to the just ordinary acts of 509 00:25:00,821 --> 00:25:03,101 Speaker 2: kindness and generosity that around you all the time that 510 00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:05,581 Speaker 2: you suddenly become almost more aware of when you're forced 511 00:25:05,621 --> 00:25:08,061 Speaker 2: into a community you know which you are when you 512 00:25:08,141 --> 00:25:10,701 Speaker 2: have kids. One of the things that was really interesting 513 00:25:10,702 --> 00:25:13,421 Speaker 2: about breeze essay, which I thought was very even handed 514 00:25:13,422 --> 00:25:16,702 Speaker 2: in kind of exploring different ideas, is she had some 515 00:25:17,101 --> 00:25:19,221 Speaker 2: experts in that saying that even the idea of an 516 00:25:19,262 --> 00:25:22,901 Speaker 2: individual carbon footprint is kind of bullshit that was invented 517 00:25:23,502 --> 00:25:26,502 Speaker 2: to make us feel like it wasn't really the big 518 00:25:26,581 --> 00:25:29,422 Speaker 2: cul driven corporations who are screwing the world, but us 519 00:25:29,502 --> 00:25:32,502 Speaker 2: in our decision whether or not to have a baby. 520 00:25:33,222 --> 00:25:35,461 Speaker 2: The other hand, she explored that people, you know, there 521 00:25:35,462 --> 00:25:38,341 Speaker 2: are some very hard core antinalists who genuinely believe that 522 00:25:38,462 --> 00:25:42,621 Speaker 2: human extinction is the only morally superior option. And that 523 00:25:42,742 --> 00:25:43,581 Speaker 2: just feels like. 524 00:25:43,661 --> 00:25:46,941 Speaker 3: So yes, there is something within this movement that feels 525 00:25:46,982 --> 00:25:49,782 Speaker 3: so nihilistic and so despairing, and it reminded me of 526 00:25:49,782 --> 00:25:53,222 Speaker 3: this essay. I read about a term called despair signaling, right, 527 00:25:53,341 --> 00:25:57,581 Speaker 3: and it was saying that kind of especially online, there's 528 00:25:57,621 --> 00:26:02,542 Speaker 3: this smugness or this like trend of performing who can 529 00:26:02,581 --> 00:26:06,181 Speaker 3: be the most hopeless and going see I saw this coming, 530 00:26:06,462 --> 00:26:10,702 Speaker 3: or like looking at climate change or looking it horrific 531 00:26:10,782 --> 00:26:13,061 Speaker 3: atrocity is going on all over the world and being 532 00:26:13,141 --> 00:26:16,341 Speaker 3: like we're fucked and just basically putting your arms up. 533 00:26:16,422 --> 00:26:19,502 Speaker 3: And I'm like, I just refuse to live like that. 534 00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:21,982 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think that we should play down 535 00:26:22,101 --> 00:26:24,222 Speaker 3: how serious that climate change is here and that we're 536 00:26:24,262 --> 00:26:25,821 Speaker 3: existing in it, and that there are a lot of 537 00:26:25,821 --> 00:26:29,261 Speaker 3: frontiers that people and governments need to be fighting on. 538 00:26:29,661 --> 00:26:31,462 Speaker 3: But the second you throw your arms up is the 539 00:26:31,502 --> 00:26:36,742 Speaker 3: second everyone gives up. Like that just feels so disgustingly pessimistic, 540 00:26:36,821 --> 00:26:38,661 Speaker 3: like the future people are going to be around for 541 00:26:38,702 --> 00:26:41,142 Speaker 3: the future, whether or not you personally have children. 542 00:26:41,222 --> 00:26:43,182 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what I thought was really interesting that Brees 543 00:26:43,262 --> 00:26:45,661 Speaker 1: spoke about in that essay as well, was that a 544 00:26:45,661 --> 00:26:49,742 Speaker 1: lot of GenZ in particular site climate change and reducing 545 00:26:49,782 --> 00:26:51,701 Speaker 1: their emissions as a reason that they might not have 546 00:26:51,782 --> 00:26:54,502 Speaker 1: children or they're considering not having children. But there's a 547 00:26:54,542 --> 00:26:56,941 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four IPSOS report that talks about like the 548 00:26:56,982 --> 00:27:00,222 Speaker 1: three main ways you can reduce your carbon emissions. One 549 00:27:00,222 --> 00:27:03,502 Speaker 1: of them is to have one fewer child. So yeah, okay, 550 00:27:03,661 --> 00:27:06,022 Speaker 1: that probably explains why the birth rate's going down. 551 00:27:06,182 --> 00:27:08,302 Speaker 3: I like one fewer because I can have three and go, well, 552 00:27:08,302 --> 00:27:10,621 Speaker 3: I could have had four, Exactly, I could have ten 553 00:27:10,742 --> 00:27:12,502 Speaker 3: and go I could have had a leg Yeah. 554 00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:13,942 Speaker 1: Or you can just take I'm one of the ones 555 00:27:13,982 --> 00:27:19,861 Speaker 1: and have But the other two were to not have 556 00:27:19,901 --> 00:27:23,821 Speaker 1: a car and to take one fewer flight. And I 557 00:27:23,861 --> 00:27:27,742 Speaker 1: feel like both of those things are probably more achievable options, 558 00:27:27,861 --> 00:27:30,901 Speaker 1: or different options for people rather than just choosing to 559 00:27:30,942 --> 00:27:32,901 Speaker 1: deny themselves a child if they want to have a 560 00:27:32,942 --> 00:27:34,502 Speaker 1: child and feel like they could give a child a 561 00:27:34,502 --> 00:27:35,702 Speaker 1: good life, right, yeah. 562 00:27:35,581 --> 00:27:37,941 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I really like what you were saying wholly 563 00:27:37,982 --> 00:27:42,061 Speaker 3: about individualism, because Brie says in this essay that many 564 00:27:42,101 --> 00:27:45,022 Speaker 3: people are annoyed by the idea that their most personal decision, 565 00:27:45,061 --> 00:27:47,021 Speaker 3: which is whether or not just become a parent, is 566 00:27:47,061 --> 00:27:50,421 Speaker 3: influenced by guilt for scale of harm, for profit. No 567 00:27:50,542 --> 00:27:55,462 Speaker 3: individual human brain can conceptualize. I can't. I'm actually not equipped. 568 00:27:55,782 --> 00:27:58,302 Speaker 1: I feel like I can't take that on exactly. 569 00:27:58,422 --> 00:28:00,102 Speaker 2: And that's kind of what I mean when I say, 570 00:28:00,141 --> 00:28:02,022 Speaker 2: when I look at my kids and I think about 571 00:28:02,022 --> 00:28:05,502 Speaker 2: this without wanting to downplay the seriousness of many terrifying 572 00:28:05,502 --> 00:28:08,141 Speaker 2: things that are happening around the world, I just can't 573 00:28:08,182 --> 00:28:11,382 Speaker 2: project that onto them. I just have to imagine that 574 00:28:11,661 --> 00:28:13,982 Speaker 2: to a certain point, they will figure it out, as 575 00:28:13,982 --> 00:28:18,022 Speaker 2: I say. But also I can see the appeal of 576 00:28:18,061 --> 00:28:21,382 Speaker 2: the doom pool, right even though as a even though 577 00:28:21,422 --> 00:28:24,502 Speaker 2: as a parent, I have to be optimistic, and there 578 00:28:24,502 --> 00:28:26,621 Speaker 2: are lots of reasons to be optimistic, as I just said, 579 00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:29,581 Speaker 2: and in my everyday life, there are plenty of reasons 580 00:28:29,581 --> 00:28:32,661 Speaker 2: to be optimistic. But one of the things that I 581 00:28:32,742 --> 00:28:35,861 Speaker 2: think is really appealing about the nihilistic view is because 582 00:28:35,901 --> 00:28:39,022 Speaker 2: it does feel we're all extremely online. We've talked about 583 00:28:39,022 --> 00:28:42,382 Speaker 2: this lots of times. It does feel like everywhere you 584 00:28:42,462 --> 00:28:47,622 Speaker 2: look something is broken. So sometimes there's something actually comforting 585 00:28:47,661 --> 00:28:50,142 Speaker 2: about somebody saying, yes, you're right. It is like we 586 00:28:50,222 --> 00:28:52,782 Speaker 2: are living in really difficult times. This is why you 587 00:28:52,822 --> 00:28:56,542 Speaker 2: need a hypnotist boyfriend. But so I can see the 588 00:28:56,582 --> 00:28:59,742 Speaker 2: appeal of it. You know, once you've once you are 589 00:28:59,782 --> 00:29:03,262 Speaker 2: looking at the next generation and the next generation, a 590 00:29:03,302 --> 00:29:05,981 Speaker 2: lot of things have improved, and you know what, the 591 00:29:05,982 --> 00:29:08,022 Speaker 2: doom tunnel, you don't got to do anything in it, 592 00:29:08,262 --> 00:29:11,462 Speaker 2: Like once you've accepted that, Like, once you've accepted doom, 593 00:29:11,902 --> 00:29:14,981 Speaker 2: it's totally apathetic. The best climate scientists in the world 594 00:29:15,062 --> 00:29:18,222 Speaker 2: will tell you, like, doom is not where we're at. 595 00:29:18,262 --> 00:29:20,421 Speaker 2: They're not where they want us to be at. Like 596 00:29:20,462 --> 00:29:23,262 Speaker 2: I remember going to the Great Barrier Reef and speaking 597 00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:25,582 Speaker 2: to these environmentalists and people who work there, and they 598 00:29:25,622 --> 00:29:28,222 Speaker 2: were like, doom is our enemy. That is the life 599 00:29:28,302 --> 00:29:30,702 Speaker 2: support that they're going to pull out if we don't 600 00:29:30,742 --> 00:29:32,622 Speaker 2: start to invest in hope here. 601 00:29:32,702 --> 00:29:35,542 Speaker 3: So I quite. I quite like the idea of like 602 00:29:35,742 --> 00:29:39,542 Speaker 3: choosing resistance. That doesn't mean that you're choosing kids. But 603 00:29:39,582 --> 00:29:42,941 Speaker 3: there's also such to think that we are bad, we 604 00:29:43,062 --> 00:29:46,462 Speaker 3: are born for suffering. I just go I fundamentally don't 605 00:29:46,462 --> 00:29:49,382 Speaker 3: agree with that. I'm going to choose a bit of. 606 00:29:49,382 --> 00:29:51,342 Speaker 2: Joy, my goodness that I never thought i'd see the 607 00:29:51,422 --> 00:29:53,742 Speaker 2: day with my friend Jesse Stephens is the one choosing 608 00:29:53,822 --> 00:29:55,661 Speaker 2: joy and hope. I love it about you, I know. 609 00:29:55,822 --> 00:29:57,462 Speaker 2: I do want to say, though, I don't think there's 610 00:29:57,502 --> 00:29:59,862 Speaker 2: anything wrong with having this conversation. I think it's all 611 00:29:59,982 --> 00:30:01,701 Speaker 2: right for us to have any conversation. It is. 612 00:30:01,742 --> 00:30:04,262 Speaker 3: But don't you think too that we're talking pro nat 613 00:30:04,342 --> 00:30:07,262 Speaker 3: lestandi na da da da da da, these big broad 614 00:30:07,342 --> 00:30:10,342 Speaker 3: economic policies. It's just not how people this. The choice 615 00:30:10,342 --> 00:30:13,221 Speaker 3: to have a child is not Maybe it is for 616 00:30:13,262 --> 00:30:16,701 Speaker 3: some people. For me, it's not a philosophical or intellectual exercise. 617 00:30:16,982 --> 00:30:19,221 Speaker 3: I really like what Briley says about I want to 618 00:30:19,222 --> 00:30:20,142 Speaker 3: do the Moraley right thing. 619 00:30:20,622 --> 00:30:23,262 Speaker 1: Of course one of us willingly going against it. Yeah, 620 00:30:23,622 --> 00:30:26,302 Speaker 1: we don't want to harm the planet. Yeah, that's not 621 00:30:26,582 --> 00:30:28,542 Speaker 1: the main consideration when a child. 622 00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:31,982 Speaker 3: Her final line is basically it would be the most 623 00:30:31,982 --> 00:30:34,662 Speaker 3: cynical conclusion of all that we are just mere animals, 624 00:30:34,702 --> 00:30:37,261 Speaker 3: beyond the reach of persuasion or philosophy. I don't think 625 00:30:37,262 --> 00:30:37,822 Speaker 3: it's cynical. 626 00:30:37,862 --> 00:30:38,661 Speaker 1: I think it's true. 627 00:30:38,782 --> 00:30:40,542 Speaker 3: I think that's what I am, a mere animal. 628 00:30:42,222 --> 00:30:44,502 Speaker 1: Last weekend, we had a long weekend in many parts 629 00:30:44,502 --> 00:30:46,742 Speaker 1: of Australia and if you were lucky, you might have 630 00:30:46,822 --> 00:30:49,382 Speaker 1: gone to dinner with mates or on a weekend away. 631 00:30:49,742 --> 00:30:52,142 Speaker 1: I didn't because I'm not organized enough and I seem 632 00:30:52,182 --> 00:30:54,382 Speaker 1: to forget every long weekend is coming. I know. 633 00:30:54,422 --> 00:30:56,181 Speaker 2: It started the Victorians listening and going to be like 634 00:30:56,302 --> 00:30:58,742 Speaker 2: I didn't get one, Well you got one the week before. Yeah, okay, 635 00:30:58,862 --> 00:31:01,702 Speaker 2: we're sharing them around. Everybody's got one different. Take one 636 00:31:01,702 --> 00:31:03,501 Speaker 2: for Melbourne they get, oh yeah they do, but they 637 00:31:03,542 --> 00:31:06,142 Speaker 2: get one for the AFL Gram final. So they had 638 00:31:06,182 --> 00:31:08,382 Speaker 2: one last weekend. And then I saw lots about loud 639 00:31:08,382 --> 00:31:10,421 Speaker 2: as saying because we obvious we call this podcast in 640 00:31:10,422 --> 00:31:12,701 Speaker 2: New South Wales, but it was the Labor Day holiday 641 00:31:12,742 --> 00:31:14,302 Speaker 2: and I saw it out loud As discussing why there 642 00:31:14,342 --> 00:31:16,302 Speaker 2: wasn't an episode, and someone said, oh, it's the NRL 643 00:31:16,342 --> 00:31:18,782 Speaker 2: Gram final, and I said, like that was fun. It 644 00:31:18,822 --> 00:31:20,342 Speaker 2: was a very good game. But it is not why 645 00:31:20,422 --> 00:31:23,502 Speaker 2: we got to have public holiday anyway. We digress, you digress. 646 00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:25,702 Speaker 1: There's a new trend if you want to be doing 647 00:31:25,782 --> 00:31:28,382 Speaker 1: more weekends away with your mates, that might make that 648 00:31:28,542 --> 00:31:31,062 Speaker 1: more achievable. And that's their friend groups and now setting 649 00:31:31,102 --> 00:31:34,542 Speaker 1: up joint savings accounts with the pure purpose of saving 650 00:31:34,582 --> 00:31:36,862 Speaker 1: money to go and do more things together. So we 651 00:31:37,142 --> 00:31:40,102 Speaker 1: so much tell me how that works. Yeah, okay, So 652 00:31:40,382 --> 00:31:41,982 Speaker 1: on Mom and Me, we ran a story about a woman, 653 00:31:42,062 --> 00:31:44,062 Speaker 1: Kim Brindle, and she kind of laid out how they 654 00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:45,981 Speaker 1: do it. So her and her five friends in her 655 00:31:45,982 --> 00:31:48,701 Speaker 1: friendship group decided on ten dollars a week. They were like, 656 00:31:48,742 --> 00:31:50,582 Speaker 1: they're all at different points in their career. Some are 657 00:31:50,622 --> 00:31:52,502 Speaker 1: on matt leave, so they just wanted to kind of 658 00:31:52,502 --> 00:31:55,382 Speaker 1: pick an achievable number that everyone can set and forget. 659 00:31:55,622 --> 00:31:57,942 Speaker 1: They put ten bucks a week into this joint account. 660 00:31:58,222 --> 00:32:00,461 Speaker 1: So at the end, you've got this nice pot of money. 661 00:32:00,502 --> 00:32:02,382 Speaker 1: So you could go on a weekend trip away, you 662 00:32:02,422 --> 00:32:03,941 Speaker 1: could use it just to go to dinner, whatever you 663 00:32:04,022 --> 00:32:04,742 Speaker 1: want to use it for. 664 00:32:05,022 --> 00:32:06,062 Speaker 3: Oh I like that. 665 00:32:06,262 --> 00:32:09,022 Speaker 1: It's great, right because genius It kind of forces you 666 00:32:09,102 --> 00:32:11,822 Speaker 1: into doing something. You've saved the money. Now the money's there, 667 00:32:11,822 --> 00:32:14,221 Speaker 1: you've got to use it, and it stops the worst 668 00:32:14,222 --> 00:32:16,941 Speaker 1: part of any group trip, which is the constant transferring 669 00:32:16,942 --> 00:32:18,822 Speaker 1: of money between each other after the meals. 670 00:32:19,142 --> 00:32:21,462 Speaker 3: Okay, but what if we have a big falling out? 671 00:32:21,661 --> 00:32:22,462 Speaker 1: What then? Oh? 672 00:32:22,862 --> 00:32:23,622 Speaker 2: What like this? 673 00:32:24,582 --> 00:32:27,902 Speaker 3: How about financial abuse? Maybe someone could set up the 674 00:32:27,902 --> 00:32:30,102 Speaker 3: bank account then disappear. This is going to be the 675 00:32:30,102 --> 00:32:31,102 Speaker 3: next Tinder swindler? 676 00:32:31,182 --> 00:32:35,102 Speaker 2: What happened to my hopeful little mere? Can? I think so, 677 00:32:35,222 --> 00:32:39,582 Speaker 2: pessanvely Joy, I think this is genius, as you say, Stacy, 678 00:32:39,622 --> 00:32:42,261 Speaker 2: So I have this one girl's trip every year and 679 00:32:42,262 --> 00:32:44,181 Speaker 2: people always say I wish I did that, or my 680 00:32:44,262 --> 00:32:46,942 Speaker 2: mother's God. But the only reason that happens is because 681 00:32:46,942 --> 00:32:48,941 Speaker 2: it is locked in, you know what I mean, Like 682 00:32:48,982 --> 00:32:52,421 Speaker 2: it's in the calendar every year. It's not like a 683 00:32:52,542 --> 00:32:55,182 Speaker 2: maybe should we where will we? It's like it's happening. 684 00:32:55,702 --> 00:32:59,102 Speaker 2: And this is a genius idea because for that very reason, 685 00:32:59,182 --> 00:33:01,182 Speaker 2: and even if you don't go away, the idea that 686 00:33:01,182 --> 00:33:03,542 Speaker 2: that's the fund that means that if you do go 687 00:33:03,542 --> 00:33:06,862 Speaker 2: out for girls dinner or whatever, that will pay for it. 688 00:33:06,862 --> 00:33:09,142 Speaker 2: It takes that stress out of it because the worst 689 00:33:09,142 --> 00:33:11,421 Speaker 2: thing about the group trip if you do it and 690 00:33:11,502 --> 00:33:13,221 Speaker 2: it creeps up and suddenly it's like the flights are 691 00:33:13,222 --> 00:33:15,422 Speaker 2: three hundred dollars and you're that is not a moment 692 00:33:15,462 --> 00:33:18,661 Speaker 2: when you've got three hundred dollars, then that's the reason 693 00:33:18,661 --> 00:33:20,302 Speaker 2: why you go I can't do it. 694 00:33:20,462 --> 00:33:22,662 Speaker 1: Yeah, And if you can't go away, you could use 695 00:33:22,702 --> 00:33:24,421 Speaker 1: this for other things, like you could just go on 696 00:33:24,542 --> 00:33:26,701 Speaker 1: like a group shopping spirit. You could just go to 697 00:33:26,742 --> 00:33:29,542 Speaker 1: Mecca together. You know, like it doesn't do you know 698 00:33:29,582 --> 00:33:31,382 Speaker 1: how fun would that be to be like free money 699 00:33:32,022 --> 00:33:35,302 Speaker 1: shopping spree day. Yeah. So there's lots of ways you 700 00:33:35,302 --> 00:33:37,102 Speaker 1: could use and I just think everyone should do it. 701 00:33:37,142 --> 00:33:38,862 Speaker 1: I'm setting one up immediately. 702 00:33:38,942 --> 00:33:41,502 Speaker 2: After the break.

And it's written 725 00:34:48,342 --> 00:34:52,382 Speaker 1: by my imaginary boyfriend, maybe yours too, Holly. In a 726 00:34:52,422 --> 00:34:56,341 Speaker 1: weird crossover of our generations. Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy 727 00:34:56,462 --> 00:34:59,022 Speaker 1: Kent on Ted Lasso, he wrote this show. 728 00:34:59,142 --> 00:35:00,221 Speaker 2: Why it's so good? 729 00:35:00,502 --> 00:35:03,422 Speaker 1: It's brilliant, and he actually comes in as a cameo. 730 00:35:03,661 --> 00:35:04,341 Speaker 1: You'll have to look out. 731 00:35:04,422 --> 00:35:06,702 Speaker 3: And it's about because I've seen a little bit of it. 732 00:35:06,701 --> 00:35:08,102 Speaker 3: It's really warm. 733 00:35:08,221 --> 00:35:09,062 Speaker 2: It's like a kettle. 734 00:35:09,781 --> 00:35:10,741 Speaker 3: Someone's a psychologists. 735 00:35:10,982 --> 00:35:13,861 Speaker 1: All three of the main characters are psychologists that work 736 00:35:13,902 --> 00:35:15,822 Speaker 1: in the same practice, but it's a kind of about 737 00:35:15,822 --> 00:35:18,661 Speaker 1: their personal lives once they walk out of those sessions. 738 00:35:19,862 --> 00:35:20,942 Speaker 4: What's on your mind today? 739 00:35:21,302 --> 00:35:24,422 Speaker 2: Like, I want to change, but I'm not particularly open 740 00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:26,022 Speaker 2: to make those changes. 741 00:35:26,261 --> 00:35:29,301 Speaker 1: I'm trying. Every time I get rid of one compulsion, 742 00:35:29,982 --> 00:35:31,261 Speaker 1: another compulsion comes up. 743 00:35:31,862 --> 00:35:34,622 Speaker 2: Are you yawning right now? Spoiler alert? I feel like 744 00:35:34,661 --> 00:35:41,022 Speaker 2: I'm stuck, right How does that make you feel? 745 00:35:44,781 --> 00:35:47,862 Speaker 1: Jimmy, where's it's three in the morning? 746 00:35:48,382 --> 00:35:48,982 Speaker 4: I'm sorry? 747 00:35:49,062 --> 00:35:49,901 Speaker 1: What's in that bull? 748 00:35:50,102 --> 00:35:50,542 Speaker 4: Pencils? 749 00:35:50,661 --> 00:35:54,941 Speaker 1: The other bull? Maybe some painkillers? Maybe there's painkillers in there. Yeah, 750 00:35:55,261 --> 00:35:56,982 Speaker 1: And it's very fun and warm, but it's also a 751 00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:59,942 Speaker 1: bit dark, like Jason Siegel's character has lost his wife 752 00:35:59,942 --> 00:36:01,661 Speaker 1: and is dealing with the loss of his wife and 753 00:36:01,701 --> 00:36:05,302 Speaker 1: like parenting his teenage daughter through that while he's struggling himself. 754 00:36:05,542 --> 00:36:07,462 Speaker 1: So there is some darker things to it. But it 755 00:36:07,781 --> 00:36:10,462 Speaker 1: is just the best, and it's one of those shows 756 00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:13,062 Speaker 1: that I think is a really good couples show, Like 757 00:36:13,142 --> 00:36:15,982 Speaker 1: if you find that you both have very different interests. 758 00:36:16,221 --> 00:36:17,902 Speaker 1: This is a show that like crosses over on the 759 00:36:17,982 --> 00:36:18,661 Speaker 1: ven diagram. 760 00:36:18,741 --> 00:36:20,381 Speaker 3: And where do you watch it? 761 00:36:20,382 --> 00:36:23,102 Speaker 1: It's on Apple. Yeah, two seasons out now and season 762 00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:24,901 Speaker 1: three will come out later in the year. 763 00:36:25,542 --> 00:36:28,142 Speaker 2: We watched season one and I loved it, and then 764 00:36:28,181 --> 00:36:29,821 Speaker 2: I think I watched like a couple of season two. 765 00:36:29,862 --> 00:36:31,462 Speaker 2: But then you know when shows just fall off your 766 00:36:31,542 --> 00:36:34,941 Speaker 2: radar for no good reason, So you've reminded me that's 767 00:36:34,982 --> 00:36:36,622 Speaker 2: really good. So there's a whole second season. 768 00:36:36,661 --> 00:36:39,502 Speaker 1: Yeah, second season, and then third will drop soon. So yeah, 769 00:36:39,542 --> 00:36:41,422 Speaker 1: it came back on to my radar. I'm now obsessed 770 00:36:41,462 --> 00:36:42,821 Speaker 1: and keep telling everyone to watch it. 771 00:36:43,502 --> 00:36:45,262 Speaker 3: Holly, how about you?

The one I want 781 00:37:12,542 --> 00:37:15,181 Speaker 2: to recommend today, this is personal for me, is that 782 00:37:15,221 --> 00:37:17,821 Speaker 2: I'm really trying after Jesse and me, I have been 783 00:37:17,862 --> 00:37:20,262 Speaker 2: banging on about it for ages to get my ass 784 00:37:20,302 --> 00:37:24,622 Speaker 2: back into a Jim routine and into exercise and into waits. 785 00:37:24,741 --> 00:37:27,821 Speaker 2: And so we got doctor Stacy Simson now you might 786 00:37:27,982 --> 00:37:31,902 Speaker 2: show her all because she went completely viral when a 787 00:37:31,942 --> 00:37:34,381 Speaker 2: few months ago, or maybe even almost a year ago, 788 00:37:34,582 --> 00:37:36,742 Speaker 2: when she was on the Mel Robins. 789 00:37:36,342 --> 00:37:38,502 Speaker 3: Podcast, we talked about her on out Loud, Yes we did. 790 00:37:38,542 --> 00:37:40,582 Speaker 2: We talked about her on out Loud because she basically 791 00:37:40,622 --> 00:37:42,981 Speaker 2: busted all these sort of myths that have been out 792 00:37:43,022 --> 00:37:46,902 Speaker 2: there about women and exercise. And she says that you know, 793 00:37:47,062 --> 00:37:49,221 Speaker 2: so much of everything we just take for granted, and 794 00:37:49,261 --> 00:37:51,062 Speaker 2: the advice we take, whether it's all the way from 795 00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:54,341 Speaker 2: intimittent fasting to cold plunging to this to that might 796 00:37:54,382 --> 00:37:56,741 Speaker 2: not be harmful or whatever, but all the experimentation on 797 00:37:56,741 --> 00:37:59,142 Speaker 2: it's been done by men. It's mind boggling really when 798 00:37:59,181 --> 00:38:01,741 Speaker 2: she gets into all that. But what's really helpful about 799 00:38:01,781 --> 00:38:05,701 Speaker 2: this episode is if you're like me and your relationship 800 00:38:05,701 --> 00:38:08,462 Speaker 2: with exercise and jim work, and this isn't true for 801 00:38:08,502 --> 00:38:10,661 Speaker 2: all the times in my life, I go through real phases, 802 00:38:10,862 --> 00:38:14,142 Speaker 2: you know, when I'm like really into it, loving it, sick, 803 00:38:14,302 --> 00:38:16,942 Speaker 2: feeling fantastic. Then it falls off my radar and then 804 00:38:16,982 --> 00:38:19,301 Speaker 2: it just feels like such a punish to get back 805 00:38:19,302 --> 00:38:22,462 Speaker 2: to it. She's very much about letting go of all 806 00:38:22,502 --> 00:38:26,142 Speaker 2: that bad energy around it and that sort of whipping 807 00:38:26,181 --> 00:38:29,022 Speaker 2: yourself in the gym, like working yourself to the bone. 808 00:38:29,142 --> 00:38:32,941 Speaker 2: She has really practical, smart advice about what you should do. 809 00:38:33,302 --> 00:38:36,181 Speaker 2: She's really practical, she's really feisty. I love her. She's 810 00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:38,782 Speaker 2: also the one who went viral for saying that women 811 00:38:38,862 --> 00:38:41,502 Speaker 2: shouldn't exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, 812 00:38:41,542 --> 00:38:44,181 Speaker 2: and she told everyone to make protein coffee and that 813 00:38:44,542 --> 00:38:47,062 Speaker 2: went crazy. And she tells me all about that. I 814 00:38:47,062 --> 00:38:50,102 Speaker 2: haven't got around tonight yet.
