And I've got a hack 29 00:01:34,554 --> 00:01:37,834 Speaker 1: for saying nope when you absolutely cannot. 30 00:01:38,154 --> 00:01:39,634 Speaker 2: And raw dogging boredom. 31 00:01:39,794 --> 00:01:42,274 Speaker 4: I've got some feedback for all those twenty year olds 32 00:01:42,314 --> 00:01:45,954 Speaker 4: flexing about how long they can stare at a wall. 33 00:01:46,074 --> 00:01:50,594 Speaker 3: But first, so you might remember, on Friday last week, 34 00:01:50,714 --> 00:01:54,074 Speaker 3: we talked about celebrity relationships and how we feel connected 35 00:01:54,074 --> 00:01:56,194 Speaker 3: to them, and how some of those celebrity relationships can 36 00:01:56,234 --> 00:01:59,914 Speaker 3: impact our relationships in real life. We discussed a Victoria 37 00:01:59,914 --> 00:02:03,354 Speaker 3: and David Beckham. I talked about Dua Lipa and Callum 38 00:02:03,394 --> 00:02:06,394 Speaker 3: Turner and how they're so publicly obsessed with each other, 39 00:02:07,114 --> 00:02:10,434 Speaker 3: and I said the line, I never want a nonchalant man. 40 00:02:10,594 --> 00:02:13,234 Speaker 3: I want my men to be as chalant as possible. 41 00:02:13,274 --> 00:02:15,353 Speaker 1: It was one of m ziconic lines. 42 00:02:15,514 --> 00:02:18,674 Speaker 5: You know what I said listening to that I said, preach, Oh, preach, 43 00:02:18,754 --> 00:02:19,154 Speaker 5: for sure. 44 00:02:19,434 --> 00:02:19,954 Speaker 2: I loved it. 45 00:02:20,034 --> 00:02:22,754 Speaker 1: You know who didn't say preach a lot of the others. 46 00:02:22,754 --> 00:02:25,634 Speaker 1: But you know what, that was more about the Calum 47 00:02:25,634 --> 00:02:28,514 Speaker 1: and Dua thing, and that you were like, I want 48 00:02:28,554 --> 00:02:30,914 Speaker 1: this and I want it for thirty years, looking into 49 00:02:30,954 --> 00:02:33,274 Speaker 1: each other's eyes and laughing into each other's mouth. I 50 00:02:33,354 --> 00:02:38,353 Speaker 1: thought about Louders were like m I think they genuinely 51 00:02:38,394 --> 00:02:42,554 Speaker 1: felt very, very concerned for me. However, I did get 52 00:02:42,594 --> 00:02:45,793 Speaker 1: a few out louders come into my DM saying, Hey, 53 00:02:45,834 --> 00:02:47,914 Speaker 1: I'm too scared to post in the group. Oh that's 54 00:02:47,914 --> 00:02:48,554 Speaker 1: so sad. 55 00:02:49,314 --> 00:02:51,954 Speaker 3: Me post in the group like everyone's against me. 56 00:02:53,234 --> 00:02:55,314 Speaker 1: But they said a lot of them are in. 57 00:02:55,394 --> 00:02:56,474 Speaker 3: And by a lot of them, I mean three of 58 00:02:56,514 --> 00:02:59,994 Speaker 3: them are in long term relationships for over twenty years 59 00:03:00,074 --> 00:03:03,233 Speaker 3: and are still Dua Lipa and Calum Turner come on, 60 00:03:03,634 --> 00:03:06,634 Speaker 3: come on. So I took some of that feedback on 61 00:03:06,834 --> 00:03:10,274 Speaker 3: and I kind of revisited some of my past relationships, 62 00:03:11,234 --> 00:03:14,714 Speaker 3: and I kind of spiraled because no, I realized that 63 00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:17,194 Speaker 3: a lot of the times where I've broken up with 64 00:03:17,394 --> 00:03:19,994 Speaker 3: a partner I had at the time was because he 65 00:03:20,114 --> 00:03:21,834 Speaker 3: never loved me loudly. 66 00:03:22,354 --> 00:03:24,874 Speaker 1: I love this loving loudly business. It felt like a 67 00:03:24,874 --> 00:03:27,514 Speaker 1: big catalyst for like the end of relationship. I remember 68 00:03:27,554 --> 00:03:30,674 Speaker 1: I dated a guy and he hated PDA, Like, he 69 00:03:30,674 --> 00:03:32,874 Speaker 1: didn't even like to hold hands. He would give like 70 00:03:33,034 --> 00:03:37,154 Speaker 1: weird side hugs. He loved a high five. He loved 71 00:03:37,154 --> 00:03:37,714 Speaker 1: a high five. 72 00:03:38,554 --> 00:03:41,474 Speaker 3: And it kind of in my head, I couldn't figure out, 73 00:03:41,514 --> 00:03:44,634 Speaker 3: like why he would be so intimate behind closed doors 74 00:03:44,674 --> 00:03:47,714 Speaker 3: but then feel like a platonic friend outside in the world. 75 00:03:48,274 --> 00:03:50,714 Speaker 3: And it just made me convince myself that he just 76 00:03:50,794 --> 00:03:53,274 Speaker 3: didn't like me, and I couldn't handle that in a relationship. 77 00:03:53,634 --> 00:03:56,514 Speaker 4: And you get to demand that someone loves you loudly, 78 00:03:56,794 --> 00:03:59,314 Speaker 4: I think you are absolutely spot on. I was reading 79 00:03:59,354 --> 00:04:04,194 Speaker 4: in Cosmopolitan about how chilance, however we're going to say yes. Well, 80 00:04:04,234 --> 00:04:06,034 Speaker 4: when I read it, in my head, I say chalance. 81 00:04:06,114 --> 00:04:08,634 Speaker 4: But I feel like we should sayant how it's a 82 00:04:08,674 --> 00:04:11,994 Speaker 4: sixth love language, and if that is your love language, 83 00:04:12,434 --> 00:04:17,274 Speaker 4: then let's not especially let's be real in heterosexual relationships. 84 00:04:17,794 --> 00:04:22,953 Speaker 4: Let's not accept this kind of apathetic. I don't really 85 00:04:23,034 --> 00:04:26,034 Speaker 4: care whether it's buying your gifts or holding your hand. 86 00:04:26,073 --> 00:04:28,313 Speaker 4: I'm not going to do any of that. It made 87 00:04:28,354 --> 00:04:31,633 Speaker 4: me think of have you heard of the bird test. Yes, 88 00:04:32,154 --> 00:04:33,873 Speaker 4: the bird test, and I think that this is what 89 00:04:33,914 --> 00:04:34,273 Speaker 4: you mean. 90 00:04:34,354 --> 00:04:34,553 Speaker 1: Right. 91 00:04:34,633 --> 00:04:38,353 Speaker 4: There's like the kissing and looking lovingly into each other's eyes. 92 00:04:38,393 --> 00:04:39,874 Speaker 2: But the bird test, We've talked about it on the 93 00:04:39,873 --> 00:04:40,354 Speaker 2: show before. 94 00:04:40,354 --> 00:04:43,594 Speaker 4: It's when you're standing in your kitchen with your partner 95 00:04:43,834 --> 00:04:45,954 Speaker 4: and you say, wow, look at that bird. And it's 96 00:04:45,993 --> 00:04:48,514 Speaker 4: about the level of enthusiasm they show to the bird. 97 00:04:48,674 --> 00:04:49,753 Speaker 4: Do they look at it. 98 00:04:49,953 --> 00:04:52,113 Speaker 1: Or even if they look up from what you're doing. 99 00:04:52,354 --> 00:04:54,914 Speaker 4: I think Brent would go wow. I think he's a 100 00:04:54,914 --> 00:04:57,474 Speaker 4: bird man, Oh definitely, and he would be very interested 101 00:04:57,594 --> 00:05:01,873 Speaker 4: in the bird. And that says something about emotional connection 102 00:05:01,953 --> 00:05:03,354 Speaker 4: and curiosity and interest. 103 00:05:04,034 --> 00:05:06,953 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you, and I'm very much on board 104 00:05:06,953 --> 00:05:09,113 Speaker 1: with and wanting to be loved loudly. I think there 105 00:05:09,113 --> 00:05:11,993 Speaker 1: are like two different things at play here, right, Because 106 00:05:12,113 --> 00:05:15,354 Speaker 1: the thing that I was kind of being maybe a 107 00:05:15,393 --> 00:05:18,354 Speaker 1: little patronizing about last week, I'll own it was the 108 00:05:18,433 --> 00:05:22,154 Speaker 1: idea that that limerent phase where you cannot keep your 109 00:05:22,154 --> 00:05:25,113 Speaker 1: hands off each other in public has to last forever 110 00:05:25,154 --> 00:05:27,193 Speaker 1: for a relationship to be real. I think that's what 111 00:05:27,274 --> 00:05:29,714 Speaker 1: a lot about louders were reacting to, right is limerate. 112 00:05:29,953 --> 00:05:33,234 Speaker 1: So limmerence is different from love because limerence is the 113 00:05:33,274 --> 00:05:35,674 Speaker 1: physical obsession you have at the beginning of. 114 00:05:35,594 --> 00:05:36,914 Speaker 2: A relationship, like infatuation. 115 00:05:37,154 --> 00:05:39,873 Speaker 1: And some people are addicted to limerens and it can 116 00:05:39,914 --> 00:05:43,993 Speaker 1: be a red flag cough David Harbor, because it means 117 00:05:44,034 --> 00:05:47,553 Speaker 1: that you are always pursuing that, You're always pursuing that, 118 00:05:47,753 --> 00:05:50,714 Speaker 1: and when that naturally fades, because it does most of 119 00:05:50,753 --> 00:05:53,194 Speaker 1: the time, that will fade and leave, hopefully in a 120 00:05:53,193 --> 00:05:56,833 Speaker 1: good relationship, leave something even solid and beautiful and even 121 00:05:56,834 --> 00:05:59,433 Speaker 1: better in its wake. But that actual bit that, like 122 00:06:00,113 --> 00:06:02,393 Speaker 1: you can't walk past me without me wanting to touch you. 123 00:06:02,834 --> 00:06:04,714 Speaker 1: I think about you all the time. I just want 124 00:06:04,753 --> 00:06:08,274 Speaker 1: to say your name to my friends. That's limerens. And 125 00:06:08,513 --> 00:06:11,394 Speaker 1: if you're obsessed with limerens, it's actually means you're always 126 00:06:11,433 --> 00:06:14,074 Speaker 1: in pursuit of that. And Cereal cheetahs are often obsessed 127 00:06:14,113 --> 00:06:17,034 Speaker 1: with limerens. Sex addicts are often obsessed with limerens. Like, 128 00:06:17,274 --> 00:06:18,513 Speaker 1: what are you trying to say? No? 129 00:06:18,354 --> 00:06:19,234 Speaker 6: No, no, no, But. 130 00:06:19,313 --> 00:06:21,634 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that's one thing over here right 131 00:06:22,154 --> 00:06:23,834 Speaker 1: laughing in each other's mouths all the time. I'm not 132 00:06:23,873 --> 00:06:26,073 Speaker 1: saying that is Calum and Juwa, as we know, they 133 00:06:26,113 --> 00:06:27,993 Speaker 1: both read books. We have a lot of hope for 134 00:06:28,034 --> 00:06:30,553 Speaker 1: them and their love. But the thing is is that 135 00:06:30,633 --> 00:06:33,633 Speaker 1: particular thing is very specific. Yeah, but wanting to be 136 00:06:33,674 --> 00:06:37,393 Speaker 1: loved loudly and have somebody show up for you. Absolutely. 137 00:06:37,474 --> 00:06:39,074 Speaker 1: In fact, it made me think when we were talking 138 00:06:39,073 --> 00:06:42,113 Speaker 1: about this that whenever I listened to Sabrina Carpenter singing 139 00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:43,873 Speaker 1: and I love her and I think she's so clever, 140 00:06:44,354 --> 00:06:46,833 Speaker 1: it makes me really sad about the standards that we're 141 00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:49,673 Speaker 1: apparently young women are accepting. Because you know, there's that song, 142 00:06:50,073 --> 00:06:52,193 Speaker 1: the one about like I get wet at the thought 143 00:06:52,234 --> 00:06:55,313 Speaker 1: of you being a responsible guy, tears run down my thighs, 144 00:06:55,633 --> 00:06:58,153 Speaker 1: and then she's like her standards for the things that 145 00:06:58,393 --> 00:07:01,193 Speaker 1: make her that excited. Are you remember how to use 146 00:07:01,193 --> 00:07:01,713 Speaker 1: your phone? 147 00:07:01,794 --> 00:07:01,954 Speaker 6: Yeah? 148 00:07:01,993 --> 00:07:04,153 Speaker 1: You text me first, and you treat me not even that, 149 00:07:04,313 --> 00:07:06,033 Speaker 1: just like you remember how to use your phone and 150 00:07:06,034 --> 00:07:08,034 Speaker 1: you treat me like I'm a per and with feelings. 151 00:07:08,034 --> 00:07:11,114 Speaker 1: And I'm like, Sabrina, is this how little we can see? 152 00:07:11,194 --> 00:07:16,634 Speaker 1: But that's where you are, right. Chalant is somebody who 153 00:07:16,714 --> 00:07:19,994 Speaker 1: will tell you they care, and absolutely you deserve Chalant's 154 00:07:20,074 --> 00:07:20,994 Speaker 1: my friend. 155 00:07:20,953 --> 00:07:23,874 Speaker 4: And you deserve a lot of it, especially early I 156 00:07:23,914 --> 00:07:26,994 Speaker 4: reckon that it's a mad red flag if you're with 157 00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:31,754 Speaker 4: someone for say the first six months, and there's no chance. 158 00:07:31,874 --> 00:07:34,714 Speaker 4: And I've been in that where it's like there's no effort, 159 00:07:35,234 --> 00:07:39,114 Speaker 4: there's no excitement, there's no enthusiasm about you. 160 00:07:39,114 --> 00:07:39,674 Speaker 1: You just go. 161 00:07:39,794 --> 00:07:40,953 Speaker 2: We need somewhere to fall. 162 00:07:41,434 --> 00:07:43,833 Speaker 4: We need to get to a point where it's like 163 00:07:43,914 --> 00:07:46,954 Speaker 4: there is nowhere to go but down from here in 164 00:07:47,034 --> 00:07:50,754 Speaker 4: terms of like, yeah, maybe you don't have that. You know, 165 00:07:50,834 --> 00:07:53,514 Speaker 4: you can't sleep. It's so unsustainable, right because I can't 166 00:07:53,554 --> 00:07:55,074 Speaker 4: keep you can't eat, you're so excited. 167 00:07:55,234 --> 00:07:58,314 Speaker 3: And that's why situation ship break ups hurt so much, 168 00:07:58,554 --> 00:08:02,074 Speaker 3: because you're breaking up while you're still in the chalant's face, yes, 169 00:08:02,234 --> 00:08:05,833 Speaker 3: where everything about that person you're obsessed with. But I 170 00:08:05,834 --> 00:08:09,033 Speaker 3: think what a lot of the louders were arguing was 171 00:08:09,074 --> 00:08:13,194 Speaker 3: that I want this for like the whole relationship, Like 172 00:08:13,234 --> 00:08:14,874 Speaker 3: I don't just want it for the first phase. I 173 00:08:14,914 --> 00:08:17,994 Speaker 3: want it forever. And they were like, you can't have 174 00:08:18,074 --> 00:08:20,394 Speaker 3: that forever because that's not how normal relationships work. 175 00:08:20,514 --> 00:08:21,713 Speaker 2: I think what you want is effort. 176 00:08:21,953 --> 00:08:24,914 Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want because you see sometimes long term 177 00:08:24,914 --> 00:08:29,234 Speaker 4: relationships where people treat each other worse than they would 178 00:08:29,714 --> 00:08:30,434 Speaker 4: an acquaintance. 179 00:08:30,434 --> 00:08:33,754 Speaker 1: Absolutely, just dismissive way and the visible way, and a 180 00:08:33,754 --> 00:08:37,194 Speaker 1: lot of women break up long relationships over exactly that. 181 00:08:37,234 --> 00:08:40,514 Speaker 1: They're like, I am invisible to you. You never ever 182 00:08:40,594 --> 00:08:42,754 Speaker 1: put your hand on my ass when I walk past anymore, 183 00:08:42,754 --> 00:08:44,994 Speaker 1: and I used to like it that you did that sometimes. 184 00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:49,594 Speaker 1: Obviously that's not an example that works for everybody. Consent consent, 185 00:08:49,954 --> 00:08:52,194 Speaker 1: but they feel invisible. And that's why lots of women 186 00:08:52,234 --> 00:08:54,994 Speaker 1: do leave long relationships because they feel like that comfort 187 00:08:54,994 --> 00:08:55,554 Speaker 1: has gone. 188 00:08:55,394 --> 00:08:58,914 Speaker 4: To the can I ask M for a specific example. 189 00:08:59,034 --> 00:09:01,074 Speaker 4: So you've been with your partner for thirty years, that 190 00:09:01,114 --> 00:09:04,474 Speaker 4: makes you what in your fifties? Yes, okay, what's an 191 00:09:04,514 --> 00:09:08,554 Speaker 4: example of a like a moment of cholants that you 192 00:09:08,674 --> 00:09:11,154 Speaker 4: imagine in your relationship thirty years down the track. 193 00:09:11,434 --> 00:09:14,594 Speaker 3: So we're at home and he's like, Hey, I've just 194 00:09:14,634 --> 00:09:16,514 Speaker 3: booked a table at your favorite restaurant. 195 00:09:16,714 --> 00:09:19,594 Speaker 1: Let's just go out. Let's put something nice, let's just 196 00:09:19,634 --> 00:09:20,834 Speaker 1: go out. We're out. 197 00:09:21,034 --> 00:09:23,514 Speaker 3: He's holding my hand and he's standing on the side 198 00:09:23,554 --> 00:09:25,554 Speaker 3: of the road. So for car comes, he gets hit, 199 00:09:26,154 --> 00:09:28,874 Speaker 3: not me. I'm safe, and we're walking to the restaurant. 200 00:09:29,234 --> 00:09:32,234 Speaker 3: He takes up my chair, I sit down. He goes, 201 00:09:32,434 --> 00:09:35,314 Speaker 3: you look so beautiful tonight, and he says that in 202 00:09:35,394 --> 00:09:37,594 Speaker 3: a loud voice, so the tables around. 203 00:09:37,274 --> 00:09:39,314 Speaker 2: Us and here, yeah, yeah. 204 00:09:39,354 --> 00:09:41,554 Speaker 3: And then he leans in for a kiss, and then 205 00:09:41,594 --> 00:09:43,234 Speaker 3: I kiss him back, and then we eat, and then 206 00:09:43,234 --> 00:09:45,154 Speaker 3: we kiss again, and then we walk home hand in hand. 207 00:09:45,554 --> 00:09:48,074 Speaker 4: I think that's fair, so do I, and I support 208 00:09:48,234 --> 00:09:49,954 Speaker 4: I saw it in her ambition. 209 00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:51,874 Speaker 1: I think what you heard in a lot of the 210 00:09:52,194 --> 00:09:55,034 Speaker 1: gen x derision that came me away is a little bitterness, 211 00:09:55,354 --> 00:09:58,594 Speaker 1: little judgments. Because one thing that people in long term 212 00:09:58,674 --> 00:10:01,634 Speaker 1: relationships get very defensive about is the idea that young 213 00:10:01,674 --> 00:10:03,754 Speaker 1: people are looking at them in the restaurant and going 214 00:10:03,754 --> 00:10:06,474 Speaker 1: look at those saddos. They've barely looked at each other 215 00:10:06,514 --> 00:10:08,554 Speaker 1: the whole time or touched each other the whole time, 216 00:10:09,034 --> 00:10:11,794 Speaker 1: and you don't know what they're going through. I think 217 00:10:11,834 --> 00:10:15,194 Speaker 1: it is fair enough to want somebody to touch you, 218 00:10:15,274 --> 00:10:18,034 Speaker 1: look at you, and say I like you. Sabrina Carpenter, 219 00:10:18,074 --> 00:10:20,754 Speaker 1: please take note. This should not be that level of 220 00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:23,034 Speaker 1: excitement that should be the base. 221 00:10:24,234 --> 00:10:27,634 Speaker 4: Out Louders High Rocks has not only taken over my 222 00:10:27,634 --> 00:10:30,354 Speaker 4: TikTok feed, but also the weekends of all of my friends. 223 00:10:31,034 --> 00:10:31,634 Speaker 2: What is it? 224 00:10:32,074 --> 00:10:36,514 Speaker 4: Plus the people in their twenties, raw dogging boredom.

U Ea, solve it? Please? Okay, here it is. 229 00:10:51,434 --> 00:10:54,354 Speaker 1: My friend is getting married later this year and is 230 00:10:54,474 --> 00:10:58,074 Speaker 1: very excited about the dress, celebration, and of course marrying 231 00:10:58,114 --> 00:11:00,554 Speaker 1: the love of her life. She recently had a birthday 232 00:11:00,594 --> 00:11:02,674 Speaker 1: and her future sister in law presented her with a 233 00:11:02,674 --> 00:11:05,674 Speaker 1: gift of earrings and said they could be her something 234 00:11:05,754 --> 00:11:09,434 Speaker 1: new for the wedding. The earrings are pretty and reasonably expensive, 235 00:11:09,514 --> 00:11:12,234 Speaker 1: but not anything like what the brid was planning to wear. 236 00:11:12,514 --> 00:11:16,554 Speaker 1: Oh she is very fashioned forward and has a completely 237 00:11:16,594 --> 00:11:19,834 Speaker 1: different look in mind for the day. Her fiance's sister, 238 00:11:19,914 --> 00:11:22,154 Speaker 1: who gave her the earrings, is quite upset about not 239 00:11:22,194 --> 00:11:24,474 Speaker 1: being asked to be a bridesmaid, so I think she's 240 00:11:24,514 --> 00:11:26,194 Speaker 1: trying to find a way to be part of the 241 00:11:26,234 --> 00:11:29,794 Speaker 1: special day. How can the bride to be say politely 242 00:11:29,874 --> 00:11:32,234 Speaker 1: that she doesn't want to wear the ear rings at 243 00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:35,874 Speaker 1: her wedding without hurting her future sister in law's feelings 244 00:11:36,194 --> 00:11:40,674 Speaker 1: and damaging their relationship. Further, friends, if you are this bride, 245 00:11:40,954 --> 00:11:42,674 Speaker 1: what do you do next? 246 00:11:43,074 --> 00:11:45,674 Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's a pretty ballsy move to give 247 00:11:45,754 --> 00:11:48,114 Speaker 3: something to a bride that you expect them to wear 248 00:11:48,154 --> 00:11:51,394 Speaker 3: at their wedding. Good point, But I came up with 249 00:11:51,434 --> 00:11:54,234 Speaker 3: a list of lies that she could do. I think 250 00:11:54,314 --> 00:11:57,914 Speaker 3: firstly she shouldn't wear them to the wedding, but also 251 00:11:58,114 --> 00:12:00,834 Speaker 3: not bring it up. And these are my list of lies. 252 00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:04,074 Speaker 3: I've already got these earrings gifted by my mum. Instead, 253 00:12:04,114 --> 00:12:08,674 Speaker 3: they're sentimental. I'm saving you earrings for my honeymoon. I 254 00:12:08,674 --> 00:12:12,554 Speaker 3: have the perfect outfit for them. Oh, I misheard you. Sorry, 255 00:12:12,794 --> 00:12:13,714 Speaker 3: Oh I forgot. 256 00:12:14,394 --> 00:12:17,154 Speaker 1: And my last one, I'm saving them for a special occasion, 257 00:12:17,754 --> 00:12:21,114 Speaker 1: more special. I didn't really think that one. Through these 258 00:12:21,194 --> 00:12:21,794 Speaker 1: lies a lot. 259 00:12:22,034 --> 00:12:25,474 Speaker 4: I like those lies, so I was thinking deception two. 260 00:12:26,034 --> 00:12:29,194 Speaker 4: Maybe get another ear pierced, another piercing on the ear 261 00:12:29,234 --> 00:12:30,713 Speaker 4: so you can wear your nice ear rings that you 262 00:12:30,914 --> 00:12:33,474 Speaker 4: like in your big ear hole. And then maybe like 263 00:12:33,514 --> 00:12:36,234 Speaker 4: a hidden ear hole, you could kind of hang those 264 00:12:36,354 --> 00:12:38,114 Speaker 4: so you're technically doing it technically. 265 00:12:38,994 --> 00:12:40,394 Speaker 1: And my other. 266 00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:43,794 Speaker 4: No, because it'll be like at the top of your 267 00:12:43,794 --> 00:12:45,874 Speaker 4: ear you put your hair over it. And my other 268 00:12:45,954 --> 00:12:49,194 Speaker 4: option was maybe when you do if you do an 269 00:12:49,194 --> 00:12:52,154 Speaker 4: outfit change, then you could change earrings. 270 00:12:52,074 --> 00:12:53,034 Speaker 2: And make a point of it. 271 00:12:53,074 --> 00:12:54,834 Speaker 4: Then, So if you want to walk down the aisle 272 00:12:54,914 --> 00:12:57,194 Speaker 4: like once all the photos are done or whatever, put 273 00:12:57,194 --> 00:12:58,594 Speaker 4: the earrings you don't really want to wear on it 274 00:12:58,594 --> 00:13:01,754 Speaker 4: and be like, look, I'm wearing the earrings. I think 275 00:13:01,834 --> 00:13:04,474 Speaker 4: I would probably just wear them to keep the peace. 276 00:13:04,834 --> 00:13:07,514 Speaker 4: But I actually what if you really hated them? I 277 00:13:07,674 --> 00:13:10,354 Speaker 4: hair down, hair down, I would just cop it. 278 00:13:10,394 --> 00:13:12,713 Speaker 1: What do you think I think when the sister in 279 00:13:12,754 --> 00:13:15,314 Speaker 1: law at the wedding says, why are you wearing my earrings? 280 00:13:15,314 --> 00:13:17,354 Speaker 1: You say, oh, I am wearing your ear rings?

But we have redefined 294 00:13:57,194 --> 00:14:00,234 Speaker 1: it and now it just means without distraction. 295 00:13:59,914 --> 00:14:05,034 Speaker 4: Without distraction, because it used to mean having without a condom. 296 00:14:06,874 --> 00:14:10,314 Speaker 4: So I'm seeing this everywhere, seeing it on YouTube on TikTok, 297 00:14:10,754 --> 00:14:15,154 Speaker 4: and it's mostly people in their twenties practicing boredom. One 298 00:14:15,434 --> 00:14:20,474 Speaker 4: productivity influencer his name is Rowan.

M 304 00:14:39,594 --> 00:14:43,194 Speaker 4: genuine question, do young people think they have invented meditation 305 00:14:43,394 --> 00:14:46,514 Speaker 4: because they just need it? On the record that from 306 00:14:46,554 --> 00:14:49,394 Speaker 4: five thousand BC maybe before, people have been doing this. 307 00:14:50,394 --> 00:14:53,634 Speaker 3: I do think it's way too easy to go viral now. 308 00:14:54,394 --> 00:14:55,754 Speaker 3: And I also wish I kind. 309 00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:56,914 Speaker 1: Of did this first. I know, because you don't have 310 00:14:56,954 --> 00:14:57,674 Speaker 1: to do anything, you don't have. 311 00:14:57,674 --> 00:14:59,714 Speaker 3: To do anything on behalf of young people. I do 312 00:14:59,834 --> 00:15:04,074 Speaker 3: want to apologize because I do think we can't make 313 00:15:04,154 --> 00:15:07,034 Speaker 3: staring at a wall a challenge. So we already got 314 00:15:07,234 --> 00:15:09,794 Speaker 3: so much going on what I can't afford places to 315 00:15:09,874 --> 00:15:13,714 Speaker 3: live touch. What I love about this is that you 316 00:15:13,754 --> 00:15:16,634 Speaker 3: guys think that before there were smartphones, and I lived 317 00:15:16,674 --> 00:15:18,474 Speaker 3: before there were smartphones. 318 00:15:18,154 --> 00:15:20,754 Speaker 1: That's what we were all doing. You're just sitting around 319 00:15:20,794 --> 00:15:21,754 Speaker 1: staring at walls. 320 00:15:21,834 --> 00:15:25,194 Speaker 3: We literally think it's gone like ice age, and then 321 00:15:25,234 --> 00:15:26,714 Speaker 3: smartphones were. 322 00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:29,474 Speaker 1: Like, what did you do before smartphones? Oh, we didn't 323 00:15:29,514 --> 00:15:31,114 Speaker 1: know what to do. We just sat at home and 324 00:15:31,154 --> 00:15:33,514 Speaker 1: staid at the wall, like that's not what happened. 325 00:15:33,314 --> 00:15:34,994 Speaker 2: Not what your grandmother did promise. 326 00:15:35,794 --> 00:15:39,274 Speaker 3: I do regularly, raw dog boredom. I just never called 327 00:15:39,274 --> 00:15:41,514 Speaker 3: it that, but I remember it's been on the record. 328 00:15:41,554 --> 00:15:43,794 Speaker 3: When we did a subscriber episode on what did you 329 00:15:43,794 --> 00:15:48,194 Speaker 3: Do Yesterday? And Sunday we were we were all talking 330 00:15:48,234 --> 00:15:50,714 Speaker 3: about what we did on Sunday, and mine was I 331 00:15:50,714 --> 00:15:53,154 Speaker 3: remember sitting in bed and just staring at a wall, 332 00:15:53,194 --> 00:15:53,794 Speaker 3: doing nothing. 333 00:15:54,634 --> 00:15:56,074 Speaker 1: And I could have made a challenge out of it. 334 00:15:56,194 --> 00:15:57,234 Speaker 2: We should have filmed it. 335 00:15:58,474 --> 00:16:02,314 Speaker 1: Can you not read a book because then you're doing something? No, 336 00:16:02,434 --> 00:16:04,594 Speaker 1: But I thought the point of this was to retrain 337 00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:09,074 Speaker 1: yourself from the dopamine hit of technic right, because this 338 00:16:09,234 --> 00:16:11,674 Speaker 1: isn't quite meditation, because I'm getting served a lot of 339 00:16:11,674 --> 00:16:13,474 Speaker 1: these videos, probably because you know, I'm always banging on 340 00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:15,194 Speaker 1: about how I want to be able to meditate. It's 341 00:16:15,194 --> 00:16:18,674 Speaker 1: been years now, I still haven't got there, So I'm 342 00:16:18,714 --> 00:16:20,954 Speaker 1: being served a lot of this. These people are not meditating. 343 00:16:21,034 --> 00:16:23,834 Speaker 1: These people are tortured. The videos I'm served are like 344 00:16:23,874 --> 00:16:25,674 Speaker 1: there's a clock at the front and it's ticking down, 345 00:16:25,714 --> 00:16:27,914 Speaker 1: and these people are sitting on the wall like looking 346 00:16:28,074 --> 00:16:31,034 Speaker 1: like they're going cold turkey from some real hardcore drug. 347 00:16:31,074 --> 00:16:31,994 Speaker 1: They're not meditating. 348 00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:32,994 Speaker 2: That is meditation. 349 00:16:33,434 --> 00:16:38,074 Speaker 1: Well, no, it's inside your head, it's meditation. Like, why 350 00:16:38,074 --> 00:16:41,794 Speaker 1: can't they just that's how they read a book? That's 351 00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:42,394 Speaker 1: their reaction. 352 00:16:42,554 --> 00:16:45,754 Speaker 3: I saw a tweet that said, scrolling on your phone 353 00:16:45,874 --> 00:16:47,234 Speaker 3: is like a cigarette for the eyes. 354 00:16:47,514 --> 00:16:50,114 Speaker 1: Yes, and I believe that not even from the eyes, 355 00:16:50,234 --> 00:16:53,074 Speaker 1: for your feelings for everything. And I was reading, so 356 00:16:53,154 --> 00:16:56,274 Speaker 1: I totally agree with the detoxy bit, like put your 357 00:16:56,274 --> 00:16:57,794 Speaker 1: phone in a drawer for an hour. I mean, do 358 00:16:57,874 --> 00:16:59,434 Speaker 1: whatever you want to do if this is your thing, 359 00:16:59,474 --> 00:17:03,474 Speaker 1: But like, you can detox from dopamine without staring at 360 00:17:03,474 --> 00:17:06,394 Speaker 1: a wall that's my point. Go for a walk outside 361 00:17:06,434 --> 00:17:08,833 Speaker 1: and go for a walk, read something, listen to music, 362 00:17:08,914 --> 00:17:12,073 Speaker 1: do something, because aren't we supposed to be trying to 363 00:17:12,114 --> 00:17:15,354 Speaker 1: decouple ourselves from the endless dopamine hit of New New 364 00:17:15,434 --> 00:17:15,834 Speaker 1: More More. 365 00:17:15,914 --> 00:17:16,834 Speaker 2: But isn't it interesting? 366 00:17:16,954 --> 00:17:17,114 Speaker 1: Right? 367 00:17:17,154 --> 00:17:20,234 Speaker 4: Because I was thinking about this in the context of 368 00:17:20,474 --> 00:17:23,314 Speaker 4: religion and religious institutions, some of them have a few. 369 00:17:23,114 --> 00:17:23,954 Speaker 2: Things to answer for. 370 00:17:24,154 --> 00:17:27,754 Speaker 4: However, they had this covered not only with meditation but 371 00:17:27,834 --> 00:17:31,474 Speaker 4: with prayer, right Like my Nan prayed every day and 372 00:17:31,474 --> 00:17:34,474 Speaker 4: that was her moment of getting in touch with her 373 00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:38,154 Speaker 4: inner monologue. I've read the things recently about how a 374 00:17:38,194 --> 00:17:40,674 Speaker 4: lot of people don't know what the inner monologue sounds 375 00:17:40,714 --> 00:17:44,714 Speaker 4: like anymore because there's a scrolling but there's the music, 376 00:17:44,794 --> 00:17:48,234 Speaker 4: there's a podcast, there's books, right like, it's all input, 377 00:17:48,394 --> 00:17:51,514 Speaker 4: and so how do we just sit with no input 378 00:17:51,554 --> 00:17:52,074 Speaker 4: for a moment? 379 00:17:52,154 --> 00:17:54,594 Speaker 1: I agree, obviously, and I love the idea that your 380 00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:57,514 Speaker 1: Nan would have called it, that what are you doing 381 00:17:57,554 --> 00:17:59,474 Speaker 1: that I'm getting in touch with my in a monologue, 382 00:18:00,074 --> 00:18:02,234 Speaker 1: Like when I'm folding, washing or scrubbing the toilet, I'm 383 00:18:02,234 --> 00:18:04,114 Speaker 1: just getting in touch with my in a monologue. That's 384 00:18:04,154 --> 00:18:07,114 Speaker 1: what we've been doing. But not that I'm comparing prey 385 00:18:07,274 --> 00:18:14,354 Speaker 1: to scrubbing toilets. Let's on the table, but I think 386 00:18:14,354 --> 00:18:17,234 Speaker 1: you're right about that. But I also think that there 387 00:18:17,234 --> 00:18:19,793 Speaker 1: are different levels of input. The thing that we have 388 00:18:19,914 --> 00:18:22,554 Speaker 1: with our phones is which we've talked about a lot. 389 00:18:22,554 --> 00:18:26,674 Speaker 1: I'm having a bad feeling. Must scroll, ord, must scroll, upset, tired, hungry, 390 00:18:26,754 --> 00:18:30,354 Speaker 1: must scroll. And I read in a subsett recently saying that, like, 391 00:18:30,394 --> 00:18:32,954 Speaker 1: the definition of addiction is the only thing that will 392 00:18:32,954 --> 00:18:35,394 Speaker 1: make me feel better about this thing that I'm addicted 393 00:18:35,434 --> 00:18:37,074 Speaker 1: to is more of this thing that I'm addicted to, 394 00:18:37,194 --> 00:18:40,794 Speaker 1: Like you just keep doing it and so breaking that 395 00:18:41,034 --> 00:18:43,234 Speaker 1: is great, but I do think it's being replaced. 396 00:18:43,234 --> 00:18:43,394 Speaker 4: Well. 397 00:18:43,394 --> 00:18:46,553 Speaker 1: I don't think we should present as the choices of 398 00:18:46,634 --> 00:18:50,834 Speaker 1: life is either being constantly on your phone or staring 399 00:18:50,874 --> 00:18:53,674 Speaker 1: at a wall, like there are a lot of other 400 00:18:53,754 --> 00:18:55,874 Speaker 1: things to do there that will get you more in 401 00:18:55,914 --> 00:18:59,514 Speaker 1: touch with yourself while not torturing yourself. 402 00:18:59,554 --> 00:19:02,114 Speaker 4: Do you know you know recently you spoke on the 403 00:19:02,154 --> 00:19:07,033 Speaker 4: show about famous uswords and Jangodor that documentary. I was 404 00:19:07,154 --> 00:19:10,033 Speaker 4: watching that and listening to her talk about nature, and 405 00:19:10,074 --> 00:19:11,754 Speaker 4: I had to check myself and go. 406 00:19:12,514 --> 00:19:15,354 Speaker 5: Oh, twelve hours watching a gorilla like. 407 00:19:18,034 --> 00:19:22,994 Speaker 1: Sit boring, And then I went listen to how interesting 408 00:19:23,114 --> 00:19:25,994 Speaker 1: gorilla really? But then she. 409 00:19:25,954 --> 00:19:29,394 Speaker 4: Would explain what that gorilla did, and I was like, 410 00:19:29,834 --> 00:19:33,714 Speaker 4: that is also the most profoundly interesting thing you could watch. 411 00:19:34,194 --> 00:19:34,874 Speaker 2: I'd watch that. 412 00:19:34,954 --> 00:19:37,074 Speaker 4: And then I was away recently and I was snorkling 413 00:19:37,114 --> 00:19:40,674 Speaker 4: and I watched this sea turtle eating grass right and 414 00:19:40,794 --> 00:19:42,754 Speaker 4: this massive and as you see it and you go, 415 00:19:42,794 --> 00:19:45,234 Speaker 4: oh my god, it's sea turtle, and then you're kind 416 00:19:45,234 --> 00:19:45,914 Speaker 4: of floating there. 417 00:19:45,834 --> 00:19:48,754 Speaker 2: Watching it, and you're like, should I like keep watching 418 00:19:48,754 --> 00:19:49,194 Speaker 2: the sea. 419 00:19:50,874 --> 00:19:51,513 Speaker 1: Anything else? 420 00:19:52,034 --> 00:19:54,234 Speaker 6: And I like come up or like go down, or 421 00:19:54,274 --> 00:19:57,033 Speaker 6: like you in an art gallery, Like when I go 422 00:19:57,074 --> 00:19:59,593 Speaker 6: to an art gallery, I judge like I have to 423 00:19:59,634 --> 00:20:02,074 Speaker 6: look at a piece of artwork, and I only move 424 00:20:02,154 --> 00:20:04,434 Speaker 6: away if someone else moves away because I don't want 425 00:20:04,434 --> 00:20:06,593 Speaker 6: them to think I don't understand what's happening with the art. 426 00:20:07,194 --> 00:20:09,634 Speaker 1: How long do I have to engage to hang with 427 00:20:09,674 --> 00:20:12,073 Speaker 1: the turtle? Jesse, I do love a turtle. 428 00:20:12,114 --> 00:20:14,513 Speaker 4: I keep telling people that it was like twenty five minutes, 429 00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:18,194 Speaker 4: but I reckon realistically it was five. And I just 430 00:20:18,234 --> 00:20:20,234 Speaker 4: like floated there watching it, and I went, this is 431 00:20:20,274 --> 00:20:24,033 Speaker 4: actually pretty interesting, like if you lock into it and 432 00:20:24,154 --> 00:20:27,514 Speaker 4: watch it, you know, float up and put its head 433 00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:29,994 Speaker 4: up and all of that, and you go, it's just 434 00:20:30,034 --> 00:20:32,714 Speaker 4: a different pace, right, And so that's what you're saying, 435 00:20:32,794 --> 00:20:35,674 Speaker 4: is that that's the opposite to looking at a wall. Yes, 436 00:20:35,754 --> 00:20:38,793 Speaker 4: that's but it's incredibly mindful and like your inner monologue 437 00:20:38,834 --> 00:20:42,234 Speaker 4: is going, it's peace, but it's a different kind of input. 438 00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:46,474 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that that's what we're trying to fix, right. Yeah. 439 00:20:46,674 --> 00:20:50,073 Speaker 1: I flew to Perth last week, five hours from Sydney 440 00:20:50,114 --> 00:20:52,714 Speaker 1: to Perth. Yeah. That I was sitting on the aisle 441 00:20:52,754 --> 00:20:55,273 Speaker 1: and the man in the middle of the seats was 442 00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:57,794 Speaker 1: a young man, very nice, smelt nice. That's what I 443 00:20:57,994 --> 00:20:59,434 Speaker 1: was like, that if someone's going to be sit that 444 00:20:59,434 --> 00:21:02,274 Speaker 1: close to me, smelt good. He raw dog the whole flight. 445 00:21:02,674 --> 00:21:05,154 Speaker 1: He didn't have a book, he didn't have a phone, 446 00:21:05,474 --> 00:21:09,474 Speaker 1: he didn't watch anything. He just sat there and occasionally 447 00:21:09,594 --> 00:21:11,714 Speaker 1: put his head down on the table, like on his arms, 448 00:21:11,874 --> 00:21:14,033 Speaker 1: as if to have a little nap. And I was 449 00:21:14,194 --> 00:21:16,834 Speaker 1: obsessed with him. What was he doing? 450 00:21:16,994 --> 00:21:19,114 Speaker 5: Okay, Holly, And should I have asked him? 451 00:21:19,474 --> 00:21:22,194 Speaker 4: I've kind of started doing this because I can't keep 452 00:21:22,874 --> 00:21:24,874 Speaker 4: I can't keep my eyes open if I'm still now 453 00:21:24,954 --> 00:21:26,274 Speaker 4: because I'm just tired all the time. 454 00:21:26,674 --> 00:21:27,474 Speaker 2: And I got on my. 455 00:21:27,434 --> 00:21:29,234 Speaker 4: Flight two and a half hours and I kind of 456 00:21:29,274 --> 00:21:30,674 Speaker 4: put my head back. I knew I wasn't going to 457 00:21:30,994 --> 00:21:33,474 Speaker 4: fall asleep, but I just had my eyes closed. I 458 00:21:33,554 --> 00:21:36,954 Speaker 4: love the places I go, like I just really I 459 00:21:37,034 --> 00:21:40,434 Speaker 4: half daydream and then I think about like, I feel 460 00:21:40,514 --> 00:21:41,874 Speaker 4: very refreshed when I opened my. 461 00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:44,434 Speaker 1: Eyes, saying that the man next to me had a 462 00:21:44,674 --> 00:21:47,033 Speaker 1: very rich in a life. Yes, yes, he was just 463 00:21:47,154 --> 00:21:48,994 Speaker 1: there frolicking in his mind. 464 00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,354 Speaker 2: Guard and if he asked, it pulled him out of it. 465 00:21:52,034 --> 00:21:53,834 Speaker 1: And even when they came and said do you want 466 00:21:53,874 --> 00:21:58,234 Speaker 1: a cup of tea? Didn't want anything. He was just himself. 467 00:21:58,714 --> 00:22:01,674 Speaker 1: You probably would have tried to pick him up. He wasn't. 468 00:22:01,714 --> 00:22:03,314 Speaker 1: Really you were a schalant man. 469 00:22:03,794 --> 00:22:05,354 Speaker 2: He sounds chalant. 470 00:22:07,434 --> 00:22:10,714 Speaker 3: So there is a new fitness craze that has taken 471 00:22:11,074 --> 00:22:13,594 Speaker 3: over my life, and I actually feel like I'm going crazy. 472 00:22:14,034 --> 00:22:14,594 Speaker 1: I have been. 473 00:22:14,514 --> 00:22:18,634 Speaker 3: Seeing on my Instagram, on my TikTok, on my dating apps, 474 00:22:19,154 --> 00:22:22,513 Speaker 3: different variations of the specific type of photo, and this 475 00:22:22,634 --> 00:22:28,714 Speaker 3: photo usually includes two men, both really good looking, both 476 00:22:28,834 --> 00:22:31,954 Speaker 3: with aps, both sweating a bit. They have their shirts off, 477 00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:34,994 Speaker 3: and they're standing hand in hand in front of this 478 00:22:35,114 --> 00:22:38,033 Speaker 3: big TV that has like a time stamp on it, 479 00:22:38,074 --> 00:22:42,794 Speaker 3: so like one hour sixteen minutes. And this is a 480 00:22:42,834 --> 00:22:46,754 Speaker 3: new type of fitness workout. It is called high rocks, 481 00:22:47,234 --> 00:22:50,474 Speaker 3: which is an abbreviation for hybrid rock stars. 482 00:22:50,794 --> 00:22:51,794 Speaker 1: I found out recently. 483 00:22:51,914 --> 00:22:55,834 Speaker 3: I prefer the abbreviation to the meaning yes, this thing, 484 00:22:55,954 --> 00:22:57,514 Speaker 3: And now that I've said it, I feel like you'll 485 00:22:57,514 --> 00:22:59,513 Speaker 3: see it all over your Instagram as well. It is 486 00:22:59,674 --> 00:23:03,594 Speaker 3: a massive global competition where people can take part in 487 00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:07,394 Speaker 3: and they compete in this big circuit that includes an 488 00:23:07,434 --> 00:23:11,273 Speaker 3: eight k run that's split up in between workout stations. 489 00:23:11,274 --> 00:23:13,914 Speaker 3: So for example, you would do run for one k 490 00:23:14,154 --> 00:23:16,513 Speaker 3: and then you'll do like a sled push and you 491 00:23:16,634 --> 00:23:18,833 Speaker 3: run another k and then you do something else. So 492 00:23:18,874 --> 00:23:20,914 Speaker 3: it's like this big kind of course that they do, 493 00:23:21,034 --> 00:23:23,914 Speaker 3: and they host these massive events in different countries and 494 00:23:23,954 --> 00:23:26,154 Speaker 3: it's now been a huge global thing. 495 00:23:26,274 --> 00:23:29,194 Speaker 4: So apparently it's gained popularity because you know how there's 496 00:23:29,274 --> 00:23:31,874 Speaker 4: run clubs. Yeah, but a lot of those people don't 497 00:23:31,874 --> 00:23:35,194 Speaker 4: want to run marathons, and there's also strength training, but 498 00:23:35,234 --> 00:23:38,874 Speaker 4: those people don't necessarily want to compete at CrossFit, you know, 499 00:23:38,874 --> 00:23:39,714 Speaker 4: they have those mad. 500 00:23:39,674 --> 00:23:42,874 Speaker 5: Hout like competitions is it like CrossFit more accessible? 501 00:23:43,074 --> 00:23:45,674 Speaker 4: So the thing about CrossFit is that when it gets 502 00:23:45,714 --> 00:23:48,914 Speaker 4: to the competition level, like it's really really hard. My 503 00:23:49,074 --> 00:23:52,273 Speaker 4: friends who do this say anyone can do it. I 504 00:23:52,314 --> 00:23:55,674 Speaker 4: say that I can't do it. But pushing something or 505 00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,554 Speaker 4: rowing like if you practice and practice you can get 506 00:23:58,554 --> 00:24:00,794 Speaker 4: good at that.

I was 585 00:27:18,474 --> 00:27:19,994 Speaker 1: when I was listening to this Is Why We Fight, 586 00:27:20,034 --> 00:27:22,914 Speaker 1: you know, the new Moment Here podcast that's like couples counseling. 587 00:27:22,954 --> 00:27:27,354 Speaker 1: It's so good, utterly obs Yes, it's so interesting. So 588 00:27:27,554 --> 00:27:30,674 Speaker 1: the first episode it had this couple. So, David is 589 00:27:30,714 --> 00:27:32,674 Speaker 1: a musician. So being a musician at the level that 590 00:27:32,714 --> 00:27:34,794 Speaker 1: he's doing it involves going out at night. Jess does 591 00:27:34,834 --> 00:27:37,674 Speaker 1: not like going out at night hanging around in nightclubs 592 00:27:37,674 --> 00:27:40,154 Speaker 1: with lots of sexy, interesting people. He had not shown 593 00:27:40,234 --> 00:27:42,313 Speaker 1: himself to be very sensitive to how that made just 594 00:27:42,434 --> 00:27:44,954 Speaker 1: feel very insecure. So she didn't like going to nightclubs 595 00:27:44,994 --> 00:27:48,074 Speaker 1: and being you know, around sexy, interesting people because she 596 00:27:48,114 --> 00:27:50,594 Speaker 1: thought he liked them a bit too much. Also, it 597 00:27:50,714 --> 00:27:53,634 Speaker 1: means that this is his number one thing, being a musician, 598 00:27:53,634 --> 00:27:55,354 Speaker 1: and she didn't seem interested in seeing him being a 599 00:27:55,474 --> 00:27:58,514 Speaker 1: musician at all. So here's a problem. If you fall 600 00:27:58,514 --> 00:28:00,714 Speaker 1: in love with someone who has like a mad hobby 601 00:28:00,834 --> 00:28:03,714 Speaker 1: or passion or shobby or whatever we want to call it, 602 00:28:04,074 --> 00:28:07,234 Speaker 1: and you feel yourself to be in competition with it, 603 00:28:07,234 --> 00:28:09,194 Speaker 1: it's always going to be a problem. Is that true? 604 00:28:09,474 --> 00:28:11,593 Speaker 3: I don't really see it as a red flag because 605 00:28:11,794 --> 00:28:14,714 Speaker 3: they're putting on their dating profile. So if I swipe right, 606 00:28:14,834 --> 00:28:16,793 Speaker 3: I know exactly what I'm going to get. I know 607 00:28:16,794 --> 00:28:19,514 Speaker 3: I'm going to get a guy, a really attractive man 608 00:28:19,914 --> 00:28:22,434 Speaker 3: who's at the gym twenty four seven.

What are your 679 00:31:36,274 --> 00:31:36,914 Speaker 1: thoughts about that? 680 00:31:37,074 --> 00:31:39,954 Speaker 4: Saying there is walking down the street with a two 681 00:31:40,034 --> 00:31:42,074 Speaker 4: year old at ten am and there's a dead body. 682 00:31:41,794 --> 00:31:42,314 Speaker 1: On a lawn. 683 00:31:42,754 --> 00:31:44,634 Speaker 2: It's such a hard thing to explain. 684 00:31:45,074 --> 00:31:48,714 Speaker 4: And then there's like a decapitated man holding his own 685 00:31:48,754 --> 00:31:51,834 Speaker 4: head or whatever, and you're like that man's bleeding from 686 00:31:51,874 --> 00:31:55,914 Speaker 4: the arteries in and necks that they've lost or like 687 00:31:56,034 --> 00:31:59,594 Speaker 4: this time for a biology less like there's skeleton heads 688 00:31:59,594 --> 00:32:03,234 Speaker 4: and it's like that's what we call a decomposing body, 689 00:32:03,434 --> 00:32:05,954 Speaker 4: can you set like? And then Lerna looks at it 690 00:32:05,994 --> 00:32:07,994 Speaker 4: the other day there's a spider bigger than me, right, 691 00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:11,674 Speaker 4: spider bigger than mummy, and she's like scary, like scary spider, 692 00:32:12,074 --> 00:32:14,834 Speaker 4: and I was like it's funny, and I was like, hell. 693 00:32:17,074 --> 00:32:19,234 Speaker 1: It's a whole thing. So there's that phase of your 694 00:32:19,234 --> 00:32:22,674 Speaker 1: life where a petition you're just raging against, the petition 695 00:32:22,754 --> 00:32:25,514 Speaker 1: to watch stop Halloween. Well, no, it's more than I'll 696 00:32:25,554 --> 00:32:31,954 Speaker 1: tell you what they want. It says mums need hobbies 697 00:32:32,794 --> 00:32:36,434 Speaker 1: protect children from distressing Halloween displays in shopping centers. One 698 00:32:36,474 --> 00:32:39,074 Speaker 1: petitioner wrote, we wouldn't let our children be exposed to 699 00:32:39,114 --> 00:32:41,394 Speaker 1: horror films at a young age, but placing them at 700 00:32:41,394 --> 00:32:43,234 Speaker 1: the front of the store, you're taking away the choice 701 00:32:43,274 --> 00:32:45,674 Speaker 1: of exposure. Blah blah. The idea is that you should 702 00:32:45,714 --> 00:32:47,994 Speaker 1: know that you're stepping into scary space. So there's that 703 00:32:48,074 --> 00:32:51,354 Speaker 1: whole era of being outraged by Halloween. And then there's 704 00:32:51,354 --> 00:32:53,594 Speaker 1: the primary school era kids and tweens, which is like 705 00:32:53,674 --> 00:32:56,634 Speaker 1: lots of scary, cute dress ups and fake blood and stuff. 706 00:32:56,914 --> 00:33:01,074 Speaker 1: I have tipped now into the teen parenting era of Halloween, 707 00:33:01,514 --> 00:33:03,274 Speaker 1: and I don't want to go into too much detail. 708 00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:08,754 Speaker 1: But suddenly it's sexy princesses, sexy fire, sexy witch, sexy cat, 709 00:33:08,834 --> 00:33:13,074 Speaker 1: everything's sexy, and you're suddenly like, oh, we're here, are 710 00:33:13,114 --> 00:33:16,434 Speaker 1: we now? Personally, I find Halloween hell because I'm on 711 00:33:16,434 --> 00:33:18,994 Speaker 1: the record of saying I hate costume parties, hate dress ups, 712 00:33:18,994 --> 00:33:22,194 Speaker 1: and that this is like the national holiday for people 713 00:33:22,194 --> 00:33:25,474 Speaker 1: who love it. But has it become compulsory? 714 00:33:25,914 --> 00:33:29,074 Speaker 4: You guys, I think it's about whether or not you're single, 715 00:33:29,554 --> 00:33:33,314 Speaker 4: because it's not just the teen girls. It's a divorced 716 00:33:33,914 --> 00:33:36,474 Speaker 4: like that's forty year olds who are like, it is 717 00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:39,794 Speaker 4: time for me to relaunch my breasts, and you don't 718 00:33:39,834 --> 00:33:42,514 Speaker 4: get a lot of opportunities to do that. So you 719 00:33:42,594 --> 00:33:46,434 Speaker 4: go as Christina Aguilera from the dirty film Claer, which, like, 720 00:33:47,354 --> 00:33:50,154 Speaker 4: I guess it's scary, but it's also mostly hot and 721 00:33:50,234 --> 00:33:52,634 Speaker 4: I appreciate that.

What does the genre? 765 00:36:02,674 --> 00:36:07,994 Speaker 1: It is like, drama, thriller, respens right, dispense, Idris Elba, 766 00:36:08,434 --> 00:36:14,114 Speaker 1: yeahber Caitlin Deaver who played Bell Gibson, and also Rebecca Ferguson. 767 00:36:14,554 --> 00:36:15,514 Speaker 1: Really good cast. 768 00:36:15,594 --> 00:36:18,834 Speaker 3: So the whole idea of the movie is a missile 769 00:36:18,954 --> 00:36:21,994 Speaker 3: is coming to the USA and the President and his 770 00:36:22,434 --> 00:36:24,194 Speaker 3: government friends have to stop it. 771 00:36:24,314 --> 00:36:28,434 Speaker 1: I've seen this movie before Missus. 772 00:36:29,114 --> 00:36:30,394 Speaker 2: But I love this movie. 773 00:36:30,714 --> 00:36:34,073 Speaker 1: Like I said, they've made this movie many times. No, no, no, no. 774 00:36:34,274 --> 00:36:38,354 Speaker 3: This movie is the most intense thing I've ever watched. Okay, 775 00:36:38,394 --> 00:36:41,114 Speaker 3: I need to explain it. It's in three parts and 776 00:36:41,194 --> 00:36:43,433 Speaker 3: the whole movie is about how the president and all 777 00:36:43,434 --> 00:36:46,474 Speaker 3: these government officials are on this big call to figure 778 00:36:46,474 --> 00:36:49,034 Speaker 3: out how to stop this missile from coming to the US, 779 00:36:49,314 --> 00:36:52,914 Speaker 3: and each part shows the different perspective from each person 780 00:36:53,074 --> 00:36:57,034 Speaker 3: on that call. It is so intense. I saw an 781 00:36:57,114 --> 00:37:00,434 Speaker 3: article on Slate and the headline because I immediately researched 782 00:37:00,434 --> 00:37:03,433 Speaker 3: everything about this movie afterwards, and the headline was I've 783 00:37:03,434 --> 00:37:06,594 Speaker 3: been reporting on nuclear war for decades and no movie 784 00:37:06,594 --> 00:37:08,394 Speaker 3: has shaken me more like this one. 785 00:37:08,954 --> 00:37:09,114 Speaker 6: Oh. 786 00:37:09,194 --> 00:37:11,274 Speaker 5: I saw that and I wondered what movie it was about. 787 00:37:11,474 --> 00:37:14,474 Speaker 3: Okay, So, and now this is the facts, right. We 788 00:37:14,594 --> 00:37:19,873 Speaker 3: have put five hundred billion dollars into these devices called gbis, 789 00:37:19,914 --> 00:37:23,034 Speaker 3: which stand for ground based interceptors that are meant to 790 00:37:23,074 --> 00:37:26,714 Speaker 3: like intercept a missile if they are coming into reiltry. Yeah, 791 00:37:26,754 --> 00:37:30,754 Speaker 3: five hundred billion dollars. These interceptors only have a sixty 792 00:37:30,794 --> 00:37:35,354 Speaker 3: one percent success rate. And that's what that whole movie 793 00:37:35,474 --> 00:37:37,634 Speaker 3: is about. It's not like action e Like, you don't 794 00:37:37,634 --> 00:37:40,714 Speaker 3: see any like crazy things happen, but it's all about 795 00:37:40,754 --> 00:37:43,634 Speaker 3: the tenth moment of how are they going to stop? 796 00:37:43,634 --> 00:37:47,954 Speaker 1: This does not sound relaxing. It's not relaxing, very stress inducing. 797 00:37:47,954 --> 00:37:49,514 Speaker 1: But I do enjoy that sometimes. 798 00:37:49,674 --> 00:37:51,834 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I it ends in a way that's not 799 00:37:51,874 --> 00:37:53,034 Speaker 3: going to make you satisfied. 800 00:37:53,434 --> 00:37:56,594 Speaker 1: Ooh, don't tell me how it ends.

Brilliant again, 808 00:38:14,994 --> 00:38:16,754 Speaker 4: Cliff hang up, which just makes me need to watch 809 00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:17,114 Speaker 4: the next thing. 810 00:38:17,274 --> 00:38:20,154 Speaker 1: Well, so very satisfying this season. I've started watching it 811 00:38:20,194 --> 00:38:22,634 Speaker 1: for people who's watched The West Wing because C. J. 812 00:38:22,754 --> 00:38:25,873 Speaker 1: Craig is the former Vice President of the US and 813 00:38:25,954 --> 00:38:29,274 Speaker 1: her husband is Josh Josh from the West. If you 814 00:38:29,314 --> 00:38:30,794 Speaker 1: don't watch The West Wing, you don't what I'm talking about. 815 00:38:30,914 --> 00:38:32,834 Speaker 2: From the Hammettel yeah yeah, ah. 816 00:38:32,994 --> 00:38:36,314 Speaker 1: And so seeing them together on screen again, you should 817 00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:38,274 Speaker 1: know who Josh is because he's the patron saint of 818 00:38:38,314 --> 00:38:42,594 Speaker 1: wearing a backpack, and you always wear Josh for a backpack. Anyway, 819 00:38:42,634 --> 00:38:45,554 Speaker 1: I dig West. Only West wing people are interested in 820 00:38:45,594 --> 00:38:47,234 Speaker 1: anything coming out of my map. Now stop talking. 821 00:38:47,594 --> 00:38:49,433 Speaker 2: The Diplomat's brilliant. It's so good. 822 00:38:49,474 --> 00:38:50,274 Speaker 1: Love the diplomat. 823 00:38:50,434 --> 00:38:53,754 Speaker 4: But this is my other recommendation for this week. When 824 00:38:53,794 --> 00:38:56,794 Speaker 4: I was away, my Claire, my sister, sent me this. 825 00:38:57,514 --> 00:39:00,434 Speaker 4: My Claire sent me this and said, this is maybe 826 00:39:00,474 --> 00:39:01,634 Speaker 4: the best interview I've listened to. 827 00:39:01,914 --> 00:39:02,433 Speaker 1: And it was. 828 00:39:02,554 --> 00:39:06,434 Speaker 4: Louis Tomlinson from One Direction, From One Direction on Diary 829 00:39:06,434 --> 00:39:09,234 Speaker 4: of the CEO. And I was like, nothing about this 830 00:39:10,034 --> 00:39:14,234 Speaker 4: would necessarily interest me. I'm not a mad one directioner. 831 00:39:14,594 --> 00:39:18,594 Speaker 4: I'm quite agnostic and lots of love to Louis. But 832 00:39:19,034 --> 00:39:21,234 Speaker 4: is he among the top three. 833 00:39:21,194 --> 00:39:22,834 Speaker 2: Most famous one directioners. 834 00:39:22,954 --> 00:39:25,154 Speaker 5: He's not Harry stars He's not Harry Starles. Let's just 835 00:39:25,194 --> 00:39:25,554 Speaker 5: say that. 836 00:39:26,034 --> 00:39:28,714 Speaker 1: Now I knew Harry Stiles doesn't do this kind of thing. 837 00:39:28,754 --> 00:39:32,674 Speaker 1: I wonder if he will when he does his album Kravitz. Maybe. Yeah. 838 00:39:33,234 --> 00:39:35,674 Speaker 4: I didn't know a lot about him, which was what 839 00:39:35,834 --> 00:39:37,554 Speaker 4: made this interview so great. 840 00:39:37,674 --> 00:39:38,754 Speaker 2: So it covers a few things. 841 00:39:38,874 --> 00:39:41,913 Speaker 4: The one massive thing is sort of the relaunch of 842 00:39:41,954 --> 00:39:45,314 Speaker 4: his career. When he was twenty four, One direction split 843 00:39:46,234 --> 00:39:49,274 Speaker 4: and he went from doing Wembley Stadm to ninety thousand 844 00:39:49,274 --> 00:39:52,834 Speaker 4: people to these tiny events with two thousand, and he 845 00:39:52,834 --> 00:39:56,873 Speaker 4: would cover songs from one direction and literally in the 846 00:39:56,874 --> 00:39:59,754 Speaker 4: period of a few years, he'd gone from ninety thousand 847 00:39:59,754 --> 00:40:02,834 Speaker 4: to singing the same song looking out to no. 848 00:40:02,674 --> 00:40:05,834 Speaker 1: One that it's a bit like spice. 849 00:40:05,514 --> 00:40:09,714 Speaker 4: Girls, like yeah, I guess you forget, like how hard 850 00:40:09,754 --> 00:40:12,794 Speaker 4: they continue to try, And he's going, I knew at 851 00:40:12,794 --> 00:40:15,354 Speaker 4: twenty four that the heights of my career were behind me. 852 00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:16,513 Speaker 2: How do you. 853 00:40:16,514 --> 00:40:20,873 Speaker 4: Then reassess what success looks like? So that was one part, 854 00:40:20,914 --> 00:40:24,794 Speaker 4: But the most interesting part was his discussions around grief. 855 00:40:25,034 --> 00:40:27,154 Speaker 4: And I won't go into it, but I did not 856 00:40:27,194 --> 00:40:30,154 Speaker 4: realize that at thirty three he had experienced. 857 00:40:29,754 --> 00:40:30,954 Speaker 1: So much loss. 858 00:40:31,674 --> 00:40:36,034 Speaker 2: And there's this bit where he says, you know, you kick. 859 00:40:35,874 --> 00:40:40,194 Speaker 4: Your toe, and your response to that is so irrational, 860 00:40:40,234 --> 00:40:42,234 Speaker 4: like you kick your toe and you just go of course, 861 00:40:42,234 --> 00:40:42,953 Speaker 4: I've kicked my toe. 862 00:40:42,994 --> 00:40:44,154 Speaker 2: Of course this would happen to me. 863 00:40:44,594 --> 00:40:46,433 Speaker 4: And he got in this state of mind of just 864 00:40:46,474 --> 00:40:48,433 Speaker 4: like the world was against him because all these bad 865 00:40:48,434 --> 00:40:50,354 Speaker 4: things kept happening, and he talks about how he got 866 00:40:50,354 --> 00:40:54,074 Speaker 4: out of that, and also lots of different experiences with 867 00:40:54,154 --> 00:40:56,473 Speaker 4: people who died who he felt it was his job 868 00:40:56,514 --> 00:40:59,554 Speaker 4: to look after, and the guilt he carries. He's so 869 00:40:59,754 --> 00:41:03,234 Speaker 4: articulate and insightful. It is a brilliant interview. We have 870 00:41:03,434 --> 00:41:04,794 Speaker 4: a link in our show notes. 871 00:41:05,074 --> 00:41:10,714 Speaker 1: I've got a life hack because you know, I'm a guru. Totally. 872 00:41:10,754 --> 00:41:14,874 Speaker 1: I could meditate. How's due lingo going? Exactly? My little 873 00:41:14,874 --> 00:41:17,754 Speaker 1: owl is really mad with me. He just keeps emailing me, 874 00:41:17,794 --> 00:41:21,474 Speaker 1: like what does it take. We talked last week actually 875 00:41:21,514 --> 00:41:23,754 Speaker 1: about NAP. We talked about how it was time to 876 00:41:23,994 --> 00:41:26,394 Speaker 1: remember that the year isn't over and you can it's 877 00:41:26,394 --> 00:41:28,834 Speaker 1: still time to hold onto your not like notop energy 878 00:41:28,874 --> 00:41:30,513 Speaker 1: being kind of I don't have to do all these 879 00:41:30,514 --> 00:41:32,714 Speaker 1: things everybody wants me to do. I'm going to protect 880 00:41:32,714 --> 00:41:35,594 Speaker 1: my piece, et cetera, and how I'm shit at it anyway. 881 00:41:36,194 --> 00:41:38,594 Speaker 1: I found a new strategy that a very smart woman 882 00:41:38,594 --> 00:41:41,074 Speaker 1: who you probably know, Jesse Amantha Imbas. She's like a 883 00:41:41,114 --> 00:41:43,913 Speaker 1: productivity guru. I've had her on mid before and I 884 00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:46,314 Speaker 1: did her podcast. I think you've done it before. It's 885 00:41:46,314 --> 00:41:48,234 Speaker 1: called How I Work. She does a podcast called How 886 00:41:48,234 --> 00:41:50,754 Speaker 1: I Work, and it's all about work and productivity and stuff, 887 00:41:51,274 --> 00:41:53,794 Speaker 1: and I did that recently, and when I was talking 888 00:41:53,834 --> 00:41:55,994 Speaker 1: to her and telling her about my massive failures with 889 00:41:56,074 --> 00:41:58,433 Speaker 1: NAP in terms of like saying no to things and 890 00:41:58,674 --> 00:42:01,274 Speaker 1: managing your time, she said, I've got a strategy for you. 891 00:42:01,394 --> 00:42:03,634 Speaker 1: It's for people who can't say no. It's called the 892 00:42:03,754 --> 00:42:07,834 Speaker 1: yes but strategy. So the idea there is, instead of 893 00:42:07,874 --> 00:42:10,074 Speaker 1: a no or even a nup, you give them a 894 00:42:10,314 --> 00:42:15,994 Speaker 1: boundaryad yes right. Here are some examples. So, Yes, I 895 00:42:16,154 --> 00:42:20,354 Speaker 1: can host that birthday for your sister, but I can't 896 00:42:20,354 --> 00:42:23,914 Speaker 1: do the food, so everyone needs to bring a plate. Yes, 897 00:42:24,594 --> 00:42:27,034 Speaker 1: I can travel in to come to that in person meeting, 898 00:42:27,274 --> 00:42:30,514 Speaker 1: but if I absolutely can't dial in, it needs to 899 00:42:30,554 --> 00:42:34,074 Speaker 1: be on this day at around this time. Yes, I 900 00:42:34,114 --> 00:42:36,714 Speaker 1: can organize the costumes for the end of your dance party, 901 00:42:36,794 --> 00:42:39,554 Speaker 1: but I can't make them, so I'll be buying them 902 00:42:39,594 --> 00:42:42,553 Speaker 1: from this big box store. Here's how you transfer money bank, 903 00:42:43,154 --> 00:42:45,714 Speaker 1: So it's a yes but rather than a nup. So 904 00:42:45,834 --> 00:42:48,354 Speaker 1: you can do a thing and not close yourself off 905 00:42:48,514 --> 00:42:50,834 Speaker 1: from things you want to do or a helpful or 906 00:42:50,914 --> 00:42:53,194 Speaker 1: community building because you know how we talk about how 907 00:42:53,274 --> 00:42:56,754 Speaker 1: often at the minute, we're all getting so boundaried that 908 00:42:56,834 --> 00:43:00,114 Speaker 1: we kind of cut ourselves off from anything, when really 909 00:43:00,314 --> 00:43:04,553 Speaker 1: we can just ask for what we want. So like, yes, 910 00:43:04,754 --> 00:43:07,873 Speaker 1: I will do that, but it has to X, y 911 00:43:07,954 --> 00:43:09,234 Speaker 1: Z for me. 912 00:43:09,274 --> 00:43:11,873 Speaker 4: It blew my mind and I feel more comfortable with 913 00:43:11,954 --> 00:43:13,834 Speaker 4: that because I feel like I've given them what they wanted, 914 00:43:14,394 --> 00:43:17,393 Speaker 4: and then it's like more of a negotiation. I've never 915 00:43:17,474 --> 00:43:20,114 Speaker 4: considered that I could kind of do that, because often 916 00:43:20,154 --> 00:43:22,234 Speaker 4: it's a lack of boundaries in the aftermath. 917 00:43:22,274 --> 00:43:23,394 Speaker 2: That's what makes itself. 918 00:43:23,314 --> 00:43:26,314 Speaker 1: Make it crazy, because you say yes, I'll host Melissa's 919 00:43:26,314 --> 00:43:29,473 Speaker 1: birthday party, and then suddenly you're responsible for the guest 920 00:43:29,514 --> 00:43:31,354 Speaker 1: list and the drinks and this and this and this. 921 00:43:31,434 --> 00:43:33,674 Speaker 1: But somebody's got a host Melissa's birthday party or she 922 00:43:33,674 --> 00:43:36,514 Speaker 1: doesn't get it right. And I guess in a professional sense, 923 00:43:36,954 --> 00:43:38,474 Speaker 1: and I mean I said this in the interview, but 924 00:43:38,514 --> 00:43:41,034 Speaker 1: you're really lucky and privileged if you're in a position 925 00:43:41,034 --> 00:43:42,433 Speaker 1: in your life where people are coming at you and 926 00:43:42,474 --> 00:43:45,033 Speaker 1: asking you for things. Very often it's because your career 927 00:43:45,074 --> 00:43:47,634 Speaker 1: is doing well or whatever. Oh because you always say yes, yeah, 928 00:43:47,754 --> 00:43:50,634 Speaker 1: or because you're but also if you say yes, but 929 00:43:50,754 --> 00:43:52,393 Speaker 1: this is what I need. Then one of two things 930 00:43:52,434 --> 00:43:54,754 Speaker 1: will happen after that. Either that won't work and it's 931 00:43:54,794 --> 00:43:57,354 Speaker 1: a no, So that's fine, right. So like if if 932 00:43:57,354 --> 00:43:59,674 Speaker 1: somebody says, can you come and do this event for me? 933 00:43:59,714 --> 00:44:01,274 Speaker 1: And I say yes, but it'll have to be a 934 00:44:01,314 --> 00:44:03,393 Speaker 1: Tuesday night and they're like it can't be, then it's 935 00:44:03,434 --> 00:44:05,834 Speaker 1: a no, right, or they'll go, yeah, I can make 936 00:44:05,874 --> 00:44:08,434 Speaker 1: it a Tuesday night and you're that you're needing it. 937 00:44:08,674 --> 00:44:10,514 Speaker 1: And I remember when I interviewed Julie Good when a 938 00:44:10,554 --> 00:44:12,393 Speaker 1: years ago from Master Chef. She said this, She said 939 00:44:12,394 --> 00:44:14,714 Speaker 1: when her mental health is in the toilet, and she 940 00:44:14,794 --> 00:44:16,913 Speaker 1: was like, but I don't want to give up my 941 00:44:17,074 --> 00:44:19,914 Speaker 1: work and all the things that I love doing. She's like, 942 00:44:19,994 --> 00:44:22,514 Speaker 1: but I need to make some changes. She said. You 943 00:44:22,554 --> 00:44:25,114 Speaker 1: will be amazed how many times when you ask people 944 00:44:25,114 --> 00:44:27,674 Speaker 1: for what you need and you're like tying yourself up 945 00:44:27,714 --> 00:44:29,794 Speaker 1: about it, as women do, going like, oh, I sound 946 00:44:29,834 --> 00:44:32,194 Speaker 1: like a diva, I sound like I'm ungrateful, I sound 947 00:44:32,194 --> 00:44:35,114 Speaker 1: like I'm a terrible person. People just go okay, sure, 948 00:44:35,314 --> 00:44:38,554 Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, and that's the yes, but strategy, 949 00:44:38,714 --> 00:44:39,873 Speaker 1: oh is it helpful? 950 00:44:40,234 --> 00:44:41,114 Speaker 2: I like that a lot. 951 00:44:41,314 --> 00:44:43,873 Speaker 1: Good I'm glad to be of service. I just say no, 952 00:44:46,274 --> 00:44:48,674 Speaker 1: she's a boundary. I love it. 953 00:44:49,594 --> 00:44:51,794 Speaker 4: A big thank you to all of you the out 954 00:44:51,834 --> 00:44:54,593 Speaker 4: louders for listening to today's show, and our fabulous team 955 00:44:54,714 --> 00:44:57,234 Speaker 4: for putting this show together.
