<v S3>Pod tech. Sydney.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.630
<v S2>Kick. Pod tech. Sydney. It does. We are recording in

0:00:44.630 --> 0:00:49.129
<v S2>Sydney today, guys. Which for your ears is exactly identical.

0:00:49.220 --> 0:00:52.879
<v S2>But we. We just had to. I don't know, it's

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:54.620
<v S2>not even a confession. Yes.

0:00:54.830 --> 0:00:58.160
<v S3>Producer Lindsay is in our ears instead of over by

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.790
<v S3>the window, which feels very odd.

0:00:59.820 --> 0:01:01.620
<v S2>We keep looking to the window and then I'm like,

0:01:01.650 --> 0:01:03.090
<v S2>oh yes, Lindsay's in Melbourne.

0:01:04.650 --> 0:01:07.470
<v S3>But we are so, so excited to be here. And

0:01:07.470 --> 0:01:10.470
<v S3>we've had such a big week full of very, very

0:01:10.470 --> 0:01:13.320
<v S3>cool and exciting projects, one of which that we actually

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.630
<v S3>announced yesterday. So when we're recording this episode, we have

0:01:18.660 --> 0:01:22.289
<v S3>been up here because we shot for our brand new

0:01:22.290 --> 0:01:26.700
<v S3>Stax collection, which is so exciting because we announced yesterday

0:01:26.700 --> 0:01:30.389
<v S3>that we have got another collection. Um, and our affirmation

0:01:30.390 --> 0:01:32.460
<v S3>behind this collection, if you were a fan of the

0:01:32.459 --> 0:01:35.340
<v S3>first one, you would know it was I am enough.

0:01:35.340 --> 0:01:37.530
<v S3>And this one is I can and I will.

0:01:37.530 --> 0:01:40.110
<v S2>It's been so exciting. So the first collection launch in

0:01:40.140 --> 0:01:42.300
<v S2>it was crazy. It's Feb, February February this year. So

0:01:42.300 --> 0:01:46.200
<v S2>six months ago. And everyone it was it was actually

0:01:46.230 --> 0:01:49.650
<v S2>like it exceeded every expectation. It sold out in like

0:01:49.650 --> 0:01:52.650
<v S2>half an hour VIP night which was in 30 minutes.

0:01:52.650 --> 0:01:55.560
<v S2>Then when we went live the next day to everyone

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.000
<v S2>that wasn't in the VIP list, and we're going to

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.600
<v S2>put a link for you to be able to sign

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.970
<v S2>up to the VIP list, so you can be on that.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.100
<v S2>It's like a VIP list. It's hard to get on,

0:02:03.130 --> 0:02:04.690
<v S2>like you can sign up to it so you get

0:02:04.690 --> 0:02:09.340
<v S2>early access to the collection before because it is likely

0:02:09.340 --> 0:02:11.140
<v S2>we have we have got more this time because we

0:02:11.139 --> 0:02:12.580
<v S2>want to make sure there's enough for everyone, but it

0:02:12.580 --> 0:02:14.560
<v S2>is it. Just in case it does sell out, make

0:02:14.590 --> 0:02:17.080
<v S2>sure you sign up to the VIP list. But it

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.390
<v S2>was crazy. Like it sold out so quickly and you

0:02:19.389 --> 0:02:21.910
<v S2>guys just loved it. And having being able to work

0:02:21.910 --> 0:02:24.730
<v S2>with the amazing Don until the Stax founders again on

0:02:24.730 --> 0:02:28.000
<v S2>another collection and the incredible Stax team has been so

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.310
<v S2>awesome because we have been able to build in all

0:02:30.310 --> 0:02:33.970
<v S2>of the feedback from the first collection. And we've also

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.720
<v S2>worked with Don and till on new designs that Stax

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.990
<v S2>have actually never done before either. And there are two tops,

0:02:40.990 --> 0:02:44.890
<v S2>so we've got a halter neck crop. So it's a

0:02:44.889 --> 0:02:47.680
<v S2>sports bra. That's a halter neck. Yeah, it is now.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.290
<v S2>It's not super light support. Light support. Exactly. Right. Like

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.329
<v S2>it's not not for running but for the gym and stuff.

0:02:52.330 --> 0:02:56.090
<v S2>It looks so, so hot. It is so good. And

0:02:56.090 --> 0:02:58.010
<v S2>I was like, oh, I don't know if I wear

0:02:58.010 --> 0:03:00.320
<v S2>a halter neck sports bra because like when we were

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:01.910
<v S2>doing the fitting, I was like, oh, this will be

0:03:01.910 --> 0:03:03.800
<v S2>maybe more like a Steph one, I don't know. I just,

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.870
<v S2>I was like, I don't know how I'll feel in it. No,

0:03:05.870 --> 0:03:09.560
<v S2>it looks so good. I walked out and I was like, oh, guys.

0:03:09.590 --> 0:03:13.339
<v S2>Feeling myself like, I know 100 bucks, a million bucks,

0:03:13.340 --> 0:03:16.070
<v S2>10 million bucks. What am I saying? But it's just

0:03:16.070 --> 0:03:17.840
<v S2>the way we work so hard on making sure it

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.930
<v S2>was this. The way the V shape, the perfect amount

0:03:20.930 --> 0:03:26.480
<v S2>of kind of lowness, the ribbed, um, flexible waistband, the

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.910
<v S2>amount of kind of. It doesn't. I really don't like

0:03:28.910 --> 0:03:31.610
<v S2>sports bras that pull a lot like halterneck that pull

0:03:31.610 --> 0:03:34.970
<v S2>on your, your neck. Exactly. And so we've made sure

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.280
<v S2>like we've just, we've done it's super soft and it

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.650
<v S2>is in the premium seamless fabric. That's what's really exciting.

0:03:39.650 --> 0:03:42.980
<v S2>So our last collection was in spandex. This one is

0:03:42.980 --> 0:03:47.420
<v S2>in seamless. The whole collection stacks is famous for their seamless.

0:03:47.420 --> 0:03:50.120
<v S2>It is such good quality. It's incredible. So we are

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.390
<v S2>just so excited for you to wear it. Yeah.

0:03:53.420 --> 0:03:53.720
<v S3>And it's.

0:03:53.730 --> 0:03:54.180
<v S2>Blue.

0:03:54.210 --> 0:03:55.200
<v S3>It's blue? Yeah.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.840
<v S2>And black and cream. And it's. It's just gorgeous and blue.

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.750
<v S2>Just makes me feel joyful. So. No, it's just to

0:04:00.780 --> 0:04:02.640
<v S2>share this with you. We just hope you love it

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:03.630
<v S2>as much as we do.

0:04:03.660 --> 0:04:07.020
<v S3>Yes. And the collection will officially be live on Friday

0:04:07.050 --> 0:04:10.710
<v S3>the 13th of September. And also as we did last

0:04:10.710 --> 0:04:14.040
<v S3>time as well to celebrate this Friday. It is this Friday.

0:04:14.310 --> 0:04:16.650
<v S2>Yes. So this week guys, and the, the early um,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.950
<v S2>the early access is Thursday evening. So make sure you

0:04:19.980 --> 0:04:22.410
<v S2>sign up and then you'll get that access for this

0:04:22.410 --> 0:04:23.789
<v S2>Thursday night and then yeah live.

0:04:23.820 --> 0:04:24.480
<v S3>For everyone else.

0:04:24.510 --> 0:04:26.760
<v S2>On Friday. But last time there was hardly anything left

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.169
<v S2>as we said. So just make sure you sign up

0:04:28.170 --> 0:04:28.680
<v S2>to VIP.

0:04:28.710 --> 0:04:31.529
<v S3>Exactly. Um, but to celebrate the launch, we are also

0:04:31.529 --> 0:04:33.989
<v S3>hosting an event in Melbourne. So last time we did

0:04:33.990 --> 0:04:35.970
<v S3>an event in Sydney decided to do it in our

0:04:35.970 --> 0:04:39.000
<v S3>home town of Melbourne. This time around, next Saturday, the

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.820
<v S3>21st of September, we've got a panel chat with the

0:04:41.820 --> 0:04:44.940
<v S3>two of us and Don and till and an empowering

0:04:44.940 --> 0:04:47.909
<v S3>workshop which, if you were from Sydney and came to

0:04:47.940 --> 0:04:50.729
<v S3>the first one we had, we had so many really

0:04:50.730 --> 0:04:53.360
<v S3>positive reviews from the workshop that we did, and also

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.789
<v S3>for us, it was probably one of the most rewarding

0:04:55.790 --> 0:04:57.409
<v S3>things we've got to do at an event, so we

0:04:57.410 --> 0:04:59.359
<v S3>are so looking forward to that and can't wait to

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.150
<v S3>see you all there. But we will pop a link

0:05:02.150 --> 0:05:04.370
<v S3>in the show notes for early Access, but we'll also

0:05:04.370 --> 0:05:07.310
<v S3>pop a link in there to secure your spot if

0:05:07.310 --> 0:05:12.620
<v S3>you would like to come along to that event in Melbourne. Okay,

0:05:12.620 --> 0:05:16.040
<v S3>so we are chatting about cheating again because a couple

0:05:16.070 --> 0:05:19.250
<v S3>of episodes ago now, we spoke about whether or not

0:05:19.250 --> 0:05:22.280
<v S3>cheating was a deal breaker. And laws and I, we

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.400
<v S3>shared our opinion. Um, and then we jumped onto our

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.219
<v S3>Instagram and also in our Facebook group. And quite a

0:05:28.220 --> 0:05:31.339
<v S3>lot of you disagreed with us, which, you know, all

0:05:31.339 --> 0:05:34.370
<v S3>open to all opinions. But we thought there's more to

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.380
<v S3>this and it's worth getting our expert on Megan Luscomb

0:05:39.380 --> 0:05:42.800
<v S3>to talk through how she might have helped clients through this.

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.510
<v S3>And so. Hello, Megan.

0:05:44.540 --> 0:05:46.160
<v S4>Hello. Hello my love.

0:05:46.190 --> 0:05:48.440
<v S3>I got so excited when I saw your comment on

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.470
<v S3>the video, but also very nervous about what your thoughts

0:05:51.470 --> 0:05:53.510
<v S3>were going to be on our opinion because I was like,

0:05:53.540 --> 0:05:56.960
<v S3>I hope we did her proud, but I would love

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.650
<v S3>to know what do you think? Like how how what

0:06:00.650 --> 0:06:02.960
<v S3>have you worked through with clients when cheating comes up?

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.310
<v S3>Is it a deal breaker?

0:06:05.150 --> 0:06:07.640
<v S4>Um, look, I will say more often than not, no,

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:12.529
<v S4>it's not a deal breaker. I, I think, um, both

0:06:12.529 --> 0:06:18.110
<v S4>of you made really good points regarding the nuance of infidelity.

0:06:18.110 --> 0:06:21.409
<v S4>And I think what's really important to clarify is that

0:06:21.410 --> 0:06:25.610
<v S4>cheating is a term has evolved so much over, I

0:06:25.610 --> 0:06:29.060
<v S4>would say, the past maybe 5 to 10 years when

0:06:29.060 --> 0:06:32.450
<v S4>I was a teen, cheating was you were having sex

0:06:32.450 --> 0:06:36.560
<v S4>with somebody else. Whereas now the term has really evolved

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.220
<v S4>into people using cheating for their partner, following someone on

0:06:40.220 --> 0:06:44.299
<v S4>social media that they don't like having relationships with other

0:06:44.300 --> 0:06:47.990
<v S4>gender they're attracted to. So I think what's really important

0:06:47.990 --> 0:06:51.150
<v S4>to remember is when one person uses the term cheating,

0:06:51.150 --> 0:06:54.990
<v S4>it may not necessarily apply in the same way that

0:06:54.990 --> 0:06:58.620
<v S4>another person means cheating. And I think it's so important

0:06:58.620 --> 0:07:01.169
<v S4>that we can all sort of hold space for that,

0:07:01.170 --> 0:07:04.529
<v S4>because I know with clients that I've worked with, somebody

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.089
<v S4>has booked a session with me and said, oh, my

0:07:06.089 --> 0:07:10.410
<v S4>partner cheated on me. And based on how I expressed

0:07:10.410 --> 0:07:13.530
<v S4>the word cheating, my assumption is you're speaking about they've

0:07:13.530 --> 0:07:17.130
<v S4>had sexual intercourse with somebody who wasn't you. And when

0:07:17.130 --> 0:07:20.040
<v S4>we started the session, they let me know that their

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.070
<v S4>partner had been talking to somebody else who they weren't

0:07:23.070 --> 0:07:28.560
<v S4>romantically involved with. So that, to me, is something that

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.500
<v S4>we all really need to start having conversations about is

0:07:31.500 --> 0:07:34.440
<v S4>when we say cheating, what are we explicitly meaning?

0:07:35.130 --> 0:07:38.910
<v S2>Oh, absolutely. And Megan, you said as well that as

0:07:38.910 --> 0:07:41.370
<v S2>you said, it's not it doesn't have to be a

0:07:41.370 --> 0:07:44.820
<v S2>deal breaker. No. Now, very interestingly, we did a poll

0:07:44.820 --> 0:07:49.730
<v S2>on our Instagram and only 2% of people voted that

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.150
<v S2>it like agreed with us that it wasn't. It doesn't

0:07:53.150 --> 0:07:56.000
<v S2>have to be a deal breaker now. 30% said they

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.489
<v S2>were kind of on the fence like it depend on

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.480
<v S2>it depended on the circumstances. And then 63% said it

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:08.420
<v S2>was a deal breaker. Yeah for sure. In your experience

0:08:08.420 --> 0:08:11.090
<v S2>within all of all of your clients, obviously there's so

0:08:11.090 --> 0:08:16.610
<v S2>many different circumstances where cheating can occur. Yeah, absolutely. Are

0:08:16.610 --> 0:08:20.480
<v S2>there instances where because something that came through in the comments,

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.760
<v S2>it was quite interesting. Like Steph and I spoke a

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.250
<v S2>little bit about an affair. Like for me personally, I

0:08:25.250 --> 0:08:27.530
<v S2>don't think I could come back from my partner having

0:08:27.530 --> 0:08:30.440
<v S2>an affair. And then also a few people said if

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.330
<v S2>it was like a kiss and a nightclub, they could

0:08:32.330 --> 0:08:34.189
<v S2>get through it. But if it was any more than that,

0:08:34.220 --> 0:08:38.780
<v S2>they couldn't. Yeah. What circumstances have you. Are there any

0:08:38.780 --> 0:08:42.350
<v S2>kind of specific circumstances that you see where cheating does occur?

0:08:42.350 --> 0:08:44.850
<v S2>And it does tend to be a pattern and the

0:08:44.850 --> 0:08:47.700
<v S2>relationship can't come back from that.

0:08:48.390 --> 0:08:51.720
<v S4>Yeah. Look, I think what's when most people come to

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.560
<v S4>me regarding cheating, it's because they want to repair, they

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.160
<v S4>want to make the relationship work. And from all the

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.830
<v S4>people that I've worked with when it comes to infidelity,

0:09:01.830 --> 0:09:04.230
<v S4>they haven't just woken up one day and decided to

0:09:04.260 --> 0:09:07.590
<v S4>cheat on their partner. They've been going through something. The

0:09:07.590 --> 0:09:10.770
<v S4>relationship's been going through something the individuals have been going through,

0:09:10.770 --> 0:09:13.530
<v S4>something the people I've worked with haven't cheated from a

0:09:13.530 --> 0:09:15.780
<v S4>place of maliciousness. And I know some people listening to

0:09:15.809 --> 0:09:18.390
<v S4>this will go well. Cheating is malicious, but I think

0:09:18.390 --> 0:09:22.440
<v S4>it's really important to remember that humans are humans and

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.850
<v S4>we're not all perfect, and we make mistakes, and we

0:09:26.850 --> 0:09:30.420
<v S4>do things that sometimes we don't think we would. And

0:09:30.420 --> 0:09:33.360
<v S4>it needs to be talked about from a place of situational.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.910
<v S4>And that's where the nuance comes in. And I think

0:09:36.210 --> 0:09:40.170
<v S4>when Steph, you were saying that, you know, people can

0:09:40.170 --> 0:09:44.199
<v S4>be in dark places and like things happen. I think

0:09:44.230 --> 0:09:47.170
<v S4>that conversation is something we need to be talking about more.

0:09:47.170 --> 0:09:49.929
<v S4>But also, I think, Laura, when you were saying the

0:09:49.929 --> 0:09:52.809
<v S4>affair and that you may not be able to come

0:09:52.809 --> 0:09:55.179
<v S4>back from that, and it's because in the scenarios you're

0:09:55.179 --> 0:09:57.400
<v S4>talking about, a fear is when we're talking about long

0:09:57.429 --> 0:10:00.490
<v S4>term and we're generally talking about a relationship. So it's

0:10:00.490 --> 0:10:02.740
<v S4>not even an affair anymore. You're having a relationship with

0:10:02.740 --> 0:10:07.420
<v S4>somebody else, and that's for people can be harder to

0:10:07.450 --> 0:10:10.990
<v S4>come back from because now it's you've changed the dynamic

0:10:10.990 --> 0:10:14.170
<v S4>of us, and now you've turned to somebody else as

0:10:14.170 --> 0:10:16.030
<v S4>opposed to me, who is the person who was your

0:10:16.030 --> 0:10:18.940
<v S4>primary person and so on and so forth. Whereas for

0:10:18.940 --> 0:10:22.000
<v S4>some people, cheating is a one off experience. I'm not

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.590
<v S4>saying this is across the board and this is how

0:10:23.590 --> 0:10:25.210
<v S4>it happens all the time. I'm just using this as

0:10:25.210 --> 0:10:28.480
<v S4>an example for now. For some people they may go, oh,

0:10:28.510 --> 0:10:32.770
<v S4>I cheated. Once I gave, I had a cheeky pash

0:10:32.770 --> 0:10:35.349
<v S4>with somebody in the bar and it'll never happen again.

0:10:35.350 --> 0:10:38.410
<v S4>Whereas somebody else saying, I've been having an affair for

0:10:38.410 --> 0:10:42.709
<v S4>3 to 4 years, that can be very different and

0:10:42.710 --> 0:10:45.950
<v S4>I think every different. There are so many different and

0:10:45.950 --> 0:10:50.360
<v S4>varied scenarios. And what I do see often is the

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:55.010
<v S4>people who often have a black and white, um, like, no,

0:10:55.010 --> 0:10:57.920
<v S4>I could never like kidding is a deal breaker. Um,

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.469
<v S4>I think sometimes they're speaking from a place of they

0:11:00.470 --> 0:11:05.060
<v S4>haven't been through the experience, so they're able to go, no,

0:11:05.059 --> 0:11:08.780
<v S4>it's a deal breaker for me because they're not on the, um,

0:11:08.809 --> 0:11:12.860
<v S4>the situation of having gone through it. And I think

0:11:12.860 --> 0:11:16.190
<v S4>people who go through it, um, probably are able to

0:11:16.190 --> 0:11:19.819
<v S4>speak to more of the nuance of that. It's not

0:11:19.820 --> 0:11:22.609
<v S4>simply black and white in all cases.

0:11:22.670 --> 0:11:25.550
<v S3>Yeah, it's so true. And I mean, outside of talking

0:11:25.580 --> 0:11:29.720
<v S3>to an expert like yourself, if someone is listening and

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.750
<v S3>they've gone through this and maybe they're trying to work

0:11:32.750 --> 0:11:34.850
<v S3>through if they can stay with their partner or not,

0:11:34.850 --> 0:11:36.650
<v S3>and kind of make that decision on whether that's going

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.390
<v S3>to come back, what would you say? Obviously, outside of

0:11:39.390 --> 0:11:43.440
<v S3>being very open with their partner. What what would you

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.570
<v S3>say to. Yeah. To do or to try and figure

0:11:45.570 --> 0:11:47.579
<v S3>out if it's going to be if you're going to

0:11:47.580 --> 0:11:50.100
<v S3>be able to kind of trust them again. And that

0:11:50.100 --> 0:11:51.870
<v S3>relationship can work long term.

0:11:51.990 --> 0:11:52.590
<v S5>Yeah.

0:11:52.620 --> 0:11:56.430
<v S4>It takes a lot of, uh, introspection, but it also

0:11:56.429 --> 0:11:58.440
<v S4>takes a lot of accountability for the quality of the

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.100
<v S4>relationship and the quality of the people in the relationship.

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.590
<v S4>So what I would say is, if you are going

0:12:04.590 --> 0:12:07.140
<v S4>through it and you're wondering, can we come out the

0:12:07.140 --> 0:12:10.500
<v S4>other side? It's being able to analyze where the relationship

0:12:10.500 --> 0:12:13.679
<v S4>was and the quality of it leading up to the

0:12:13.830 --> 0:12:15.450
<v S4>I'm just going to say the incident. I'm just going

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.240
<v S4>to assume that it's a one off in this circumstance

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.880
<v S4>and working out how you were both showing up in

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:25.110
<v S4>the relationship as individuals, but as a couple before the

0:12:25.110 --> 0:12:27.929
<v S4>incident took place. It also then relies on the person

0:12:27.929 --> 0:12:30.870
<v S4>who engaged in the cheating to be able to take

0:12:30.870 --> 0:12:33.660
<v S4>accountability theirself and do the work on themselves in order

0:12:33.660 --> 0:12:35.760
<v S4>to be able to face whatever they're going through to

0:12:35.790 --> 0:12:38.440
<v S4>ensure that they can grow and evolve and come out

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.929
<v S4>the other side. Because even though the saying is once

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:46.360
<v S4>a cheater, always a cheater, that's completely, fundamentally incorrect because

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.690
<v S4>we can't say that humans evolve and humans can change,

0:12:49.690 --> 0:12:51.880
<v S4>and we can't say that people can change without also

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.120
<v S4>saying that somebody who has cheated can also have the

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.360
<v S4>capacity to no longer do it. What I will say

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.410
<v S4>there are some people who are not meant to be monogamous.

0:13:02.740 --> 0:13:07.329
<v S4>Some people are more inclined to be in open relationships

0:13:07.330 --> 0:13:10.420
<v S4>and to be polyamorous. And I think sometimes it's worth

0:13:10.420 --> 0:13:13.479
<v S4>having those conversations as well. I think we all put

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.300
<v S4>a pressure on ourselves to be in a monogamous mindset,

0:13:16.300 --> 0:13:19.390
<v S4>because we are in a very heavily monogamous society. But

0:13:19.390 --> 0:13:22.720
<v S4>I think sometimes it's important that people also just peel

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.210
<v S4>the layer back a little bit and ask themselves, is

0:13:25.210 --> 0:13:27.370
<v S4>this structure what I want? Is this something that aligns

0:13:27.370 --> 0:13:29.559
<v S4>with me and to sort of have a conversation from

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.990
<v S4>that standpoint, but be kind to yourself and each other

0:13:31.990 --> 0:13:35.809
<v S4>because it's um, it's a really emotionally loaded Topic.

0:13:35.929 --> 0:13:38.240
<v S2>That is very I mean, as always, Megan, when is

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.050
<v S2>it ever not good advice from you? That is that

0:13:42.050 --> 0:13:44.750
<v S2>is very, very good advice. And we actually have a

0:13:44.750 --> 0:13:48.320
<v S2>question from a listener that has come up that we're

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.600
<v S2>going to ask you now. And it actually it's really

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.660
<v S2>interesting because your definition of I originally read it and

0:13:53.660 --> 0:13:55.969
<v S2>I was like, that's not I didn't think of cheating

0:13:55.970 --> 0:13:59.600
<v S2>when I read it, but by your definition of cheating,

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.270
<v S2>I actually think that, I mean, depending on the person

0:14:02.270 --> 0:14:05.900
<v S2>it could come into for them. Like obviously everyone is different,

0:14:05.900 --> 0:14:08.750
<v S2>but it could come in the kind of wide, wide range.

0:14:08.750 --> 0:14:12.650
<v S2>So yeah, our community member has said, I fairly innocently

0:14:12.650 --> 0:14:15.350
<v S2>look through my partner's photos on his phone to try

0:14:15.350 --> 0:14:18.110
<v S2>to see if he had any screenshots or saved images

0:14:18.110 --> 0:14:22.220
<v S2>of engagement rings that I'd been hinting at. Hahahahah! I

0:14:22.220 --> 0:14:26.180
<v S2>came across some old, very explicit and intimate videos of

0:14:26.180 --> 0:14:28.940
<v S2>him and his ex from a few years ago. He

0:14:28.940 --> 0:14:33.230
<v S2>doesn't speak to his ex and this relationship ended badly.

0:14:33.230 --> 0:14:35.880
<v S2>I've never looked through his phone before as I've never

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.660
<v S2>felt the need to. And trust him wholeheartedly. I feel

0:14:39.690 --> 0:14:42.330
<v S2>bad for going through his phone, but now I feel

0:14:42.330 --> 0:14:44.190
<v S2>sick and I don't know how to bring up that.

0:14:44.190 --> 0:14:47.070
<v S2>I've seen these videos and then the listener is asking,

0:14:47.070 --> 0:14:50.310
<v S2>how do I tell him to delete them? And I

0:14:50.310 --> 0:14:54.450
<v S2>would maybe ask you, is that the next step, or

0:14:54.450 --> 0:14:58.890
<v S2>is there a conversation about it before action is taken?

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:03.480
<v S4>Oh, wow. Isn't this, uh, isn't this a relatable, uh,

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.350
<v S4>behavior that going through your partner's phone, right? I think

0:15:07.350 --> 0:15:09.480
<v S4>a lot of people listening to this will probably go,

0:15:09.510 --> 0:15:11.430
<v S4>I've done this before. I mean, this was definitely me

0:15:11.430 --> 0:15:13.110
<v S4>when I was like 18 to 21. I mean, I'm

0:15:13.140 --> 0:15:16.320
<v S4>nearly 40 now, so a long time since I've done it,

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.600
<v S4>but I can relate to the motivations of doing it.

0:15:18.630 --> 0:15:20.640
<v S4>I think what's really important to remember is we need

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.040
<v S4>to acknowledge that behavior, because going through your partner's phone

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.100
<v S4>without their knowledge, it's not an innocent action. It never.

0:15:26.100 --> 0:15:26.610
<v S5>Is.

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.910
<v S4>If we're doing something without our partner's consent, that's not

0:15:29.910 --> 0:15:31.740
<v S4>an innocent action. As much as we can say to

0:15:31.740 --> 0:15:34.510
<v S4>ourselves that all we had, you know, we had good motives,

0:15:34.540 --> 0:15:37.000
<v S4>you know. Well, if you were doing it without their knowledge,

0:15:37.030 --> 0:15:40.510
<v S4>that's actually that's a trust issue in itself. And I

0:15:40.510 --> 0:15:42.340
<v S4>think we all need to be able to acknowledge that.

0:15:42.340 --> 0:15:45.280
<v S4>And I know so many people get very frustrated with

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.830
<v S4>me when I say going through your partner's phone is

0:15:47.830 --> 0:15:50.530
<v S4>a no no, and you should never do that, because

0:15:50.530 --> 0:15:52.450
<v S4>what I usually hear back is, oh, well, if they've

0:15:52.450 --> 0:15:55.060
<v S4>got nothing to hide, then they won't care. That's not

0:15:55.060 --> 0:15:58.930
<v S4>the point. The point is, everybody deserves privacy, and they

0:15:58.930 --> 0:16:01.540
<v S4>deserve to have things that they that are their own.

0:16:01.540 --> 0:16:04.060
<v S4>And sure, if your partner lets you go through their

0:16:04.060 --> 0:16:06.190
<v S4>phone and you both share passwords and things like that,

0:16:06.190 --> 0:16:08.860
<v S4>that's totally fine. And I'm all for that. If that's

0:16:08.860 --> 0:16:11.350
<v S4>a consensual agreement within your relationship, but to do it

0:16:11.350 --> 0:16:14.020
<v S4>without their knowledge, that's a trust break and it's a

0:16:14.020 --> 0:16:16.690
<v S4>boundary break. And I think it's important that the person

0:16:16.690 --> 0:16:19.120
<v S4>who sent this through can sort of take that self-accountability

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.940
<v S4>and go. Actually, that wasn't an innocent.

0:16:22.150 --> 0:16:22.840
<v S5>Motivation.

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.200
<v S4>For me. I was doing something without telling them. But

0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.660
<v S4>I think the next step is you've got to decide

0:16:28.660 --> 0:16:29.320
<v S4>whether you're going to.

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:29.890
<v S5>Tell.

0:16:30.510 --> 0:16:35.340
<v S4>Now before anyone's like, oh, you know, Megan's condoning secrets.

0:16:35.340 --> 0:16:39.990
<v S4>I think it's always important to reflect on whether you're

0:16:39.990 --> 0:16:41.640
<v S4>going to bring up what you found out, because you

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.790
<v S4>need to actually start considering the values and the relationship

0:16:44.790 --> 0:16:48.000
<v S4>values before you make a decision. And what I'm saying

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.180
<v S4>in that is a lot of the time we will

0:16:51.180 --> 0:16:54.119
<v S4>disclose behaviors and things that we've done, not from a

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.480
<v S4>place because we want to mend and we want to

0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.880
<v S4>grow stronger, and we want the relationship to become better.

0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:03.540
<v S4>But we disclose from a place of guilt alleviation. We

0:17:03.540 --> 0:17:05.760
<v S4>feel bad and we want to feel better about what

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.810
<v S4>we've done, so we disclose that. So it's about being

0:17:09.810 --> 0:17:13.139
<v S4>able to identify. Am I disclosing because I need to

0:17:13.170 --> 0:17:16.469
<v S4>relieve my guilt for doing something that I know that

0:17:16.470 --> 0:17:20.340
<v S4>I shouldn't have done, and because now I actually want

0:17:20.340 --> 0:17:23.669
<v S4>them to do something with what I found out or

0:17:23.670 --> 0:17:26.790
<v S4>I made, or am I disclosing because I want to

0:17:26.820 --> 0:17:29.880
<v S4>integrate this into the relationship as a new standard or

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.030
<v S4>expectation of we shouldn't be going through our phones without

0:17:33.030 --> 0:17:36.750
<v S4>each other's knowledge. That's a really that's a really poor

0:17:36.780 --> 0:17:38.880
<v S4>behavior that we don't want. And maybe we now need

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.240
<v S4>to have a bigger conversation about what we are putting

0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:46.470
<v S4>on our phones, relating to our past. Does that make sense?

0:17:46.470 --> 0:17:48.209
<v S4>What I just said, no, it does.

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.880
<v S3>And I think like there's a good there's a good

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.520
<v S3>chance that like, he's forgotten that all of that content's

0:17:53.550 --> 0:17:55.979
<v S3>even on there. So it's like once she if she

0:17:55.980 --> 0:17:58.020
<v S3>wants to bring it up, as you said, now she's

0:17:58.020 --> 0:17:59.790
<v S3>got to decide if it's something that she wants to

0:17:59.790 --> 0:18:03.630
<v S3>bring up. But, you know, it's you know, once that

0:18:03.630 --> 0:18:07.470
<v S3>decision has been made, like he could turn around and

0:18:07.470 --> 0:18:09.600
<v S3>be like, oh my God, I didn't even know that

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.760
<v S3>they were still on there. Of course I can get

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.030
<v S3>rid of them. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it's an interesting also,

0:18:15.060 --> 0:18:15.449
<v S3>I could he.

0:18:15.450 --> 0:18:17.610
<v S4>Could also turn around and feel very deceived.

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:18.960
<v S3>Yes. Totally.

0:18:18.990 --> 0:18:20.070
<v S5>Very true. Yeah.

0:18:20.100 --> 0:18:23.580
<v S4>I don't have a wrong versus right. Whether you should

0:18:23.580 --> 0:18:26.429
<v S4>disclose whether you shouldn't I don't I'm not the, you

0:18:26.590 --> 0:18:29.320
<v S4>judge and jury here. I think everybody has their own autonomy.

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.900
<v S4>But I do think it's important to always be introspective

0:18:31.900 --> 0:18:34.960
<v S4>and unpack your motivations for why you're going to do

0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.449
<v S4>something before you do it 100%.

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.350
<v S2>Now, I don't know if this question is me thinking

0:18:41.350 --> 0:18:44.740
<v S2>about it in a black and white way, but if

0:18:44.740 --> 0:18:50.290
<v S2>he was watching the videos hypothetically regularly.

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:50.889
<v S5>Yep.

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:56.020
<v S2>How would for this person is that a breach of

0:18:56.020 --> 0:18:59.830
<v S2>trust within a relationship? Obviously it depends on on the people.

0:18:59.859 --> 0:19:02.290
<v S2>I don't I feel like if my husband was watching

0:19:02.290 --> 0:19:05.620
<v S2>videos of him having sex with other partners while we

0:19:05.619 --> 0:19:08.890
<v S2>were together, I would actually find that really uncomfortable.

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.010
<v S4>Yeah, I think it's okay to feel, and I absolutely

0:19:12.010 --> 0:19:14.080
<v S4>think it's okay to feel uncomfortable about these things. It's

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:15.190
<v S4>okay to.

0:19:15.490 --> 0:19:16.180
<v S5>Go.

0:19:16.210 --> 0:19:19.060
<v S4>Oh, that feels really icky. I that doesn't feel good

0:19:19.060 --> 0:19:21.730
<v S4>within me and that feels icky. It's okay to feel

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.770
<v S4>all of those things, but it's also important that we

0:19:23.770 --> 0:19:26.070
<v S4>need to acknowledge that our partner had a past, and

0:19:26.070 --> 0:19:28.380
<v S4>that past involved things that didn't have anything to do

0:19:28.380 --> 0:19:33.780
<v S4>with us. And if they're watching content on about their past,

0:19:33.780 --> 0:19:37.740
<v S4>that's that's actually still their prerogative to do it. And

0:19:37.740 --> 0:19:42.510
<v S4>I get that that feels icky. But my, my whole,

0:19:42.540 --> 0:19:45.000
<v S4>you know, empowerment for people is we need to respect

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.270
<v S4>autonomy and we need to respect that our partners are

0:19:48.270 --> 0:19:52.800
<v S4>people that exist without us and without our influence. And

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.680
<v S4>they have past that don't involve us. And they're entitled

0:19:55.710 --> 0:19:59.370
<v S4>to have those moments of their past in ways that

0:19:59.369 --> 0:20:03.060
<v S4>serve them. And I know that feels really uncomfortable, and

0:20:03.060 --> 0:20:06.179
<v S4>I know it feels really conflicting, but that's what a

0:20:06.180 --> 0:20:10.830
<v S4>relationship really needs in order to have trust and to

0:20:10.859 --> 0:20:13.830
<v S4>have a connection of togetherness. It's being able to have

0:20:13.830 --> 0:20:18.959
<v S4>this respect and to and to know that our partner is.

0:20:19.590 --> 0:20:19.889
<v S5>Still.

0:20:19.890 --> 0:20:22.020
<v S4>Showing up in the relationship and obviously committed to us,

0:20:22.020 --> 0:20:24.960
<v S4>but they also are able to have thoughts and things

0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.780
<v S4>about their past that still have nothing to do with us.

0:20:27.780 --> 0:20:29.580
<v S4>And I get it. That feels icky. And I know

0:20:29.580 --> 0:20:31.020
<v S4>a lot of people are probably going to listen to

0:20:31.020 --> 0:20:34.770
<v S4>this and be like, stop that. I get it. It

0:20:34.770 --> 0:20:37.230
<v S4>feels confronting and it feels really conflicting, but it doesn't

0:20:37.230 --> 0:20:39.419
<v S4>mean that it's not something we need to start, you know,

0:20:39.450 --> 0:20:41.490
<v S4>considering and thinking about seriously.

0:20:41.609 --> 0:20:42.479
<v S6>I love it.

0:20:42.510 --> 0:20:46.530
<v S3>I just every time, every time we call you that.

0:20:46.530 --> 0:20:50.520
<v S2>Is very, very good advice. And I think to our listener,

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.939
<v S2>I hope that helps. And yeah, so it's just now

0:20:53.940 --> 0:20:56.700
<v S2>to think about if you want to have the conversation

0:20:56.700 --> 0:20:59.760
<v S2>or not. Megan, one last thing. Just on this, I

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:04.020
<v S2>apologize for going back into it. But if for this listener,

0:21:04.020 --> 0:21:05.970
<v S2>they because I think if it was me, I think

0:21:05.970 --> 0:21:08.070
<v S2>where I'd really struggle is if I, if I did

0:21:08.100 --> 0:21:10.020
<v S2>find it and I was worried like, oh, is he

0:21:10.050 --> 0:21:13.920
<v S2>watching this? I don't know all of those thoughts. It's

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:18.149
<v S2>this battle with living with this knowledge that you now have,

0:21:18.180 --> 0:21:22.990
<v S2>but also obviously Navigating. Well, I have been. I've deceived

0:21:22.990 --> 0:21:25.900
<v S2>my partner because I have gone on their phone without

0:21:25.900 --> 0:21:28.360
<v S2>asking them, and they didn't know that. And that's a

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.760
<v S2>that's a breach of trust in itself.

0:21:30.790 --> 0:21:31.359
<v S5>Yeah.

0:21:31.780 --> 0:21:34.540
<v S2>If for this listener, they kind of they decide that

0:21:34.540 --> 0:21:36.459
<v S2>you know what. No, I shouldn't have gone on the

0:21:36.460 --> 0:21:39.310
<v S2>phone without, you know, asking. But then it gets to

0:21:39.340 --> 0:21:41.560
<v S2>a month and this is like just eating them inside.

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.690
<v S2>And they think about it every time they see their partner.

0:21:43.690 --> 0:21:45.340
<v S2>Is that at a point where you would. Because I

0:21:45.340 --> 0:21:46.959
<v S2>think that would be really hard if you you want

0:21:46.990 --> 0:21:48.970
<v S2>to have trust in your relationship. But I think the

0:21:48.970 --> 0:21:50.860
<v S2>hardest thing and this is why maybe we don't we

0:21:50.859 --> 0:21:53.230
<v S2>shouldn't go through people's phones is that once, you know,

0:21:53.500 --> 0:21:58.869
<v S2>have new information, it's fucking so hard to unsee it.

0:21:58.869 --> 0:22:01.960
<v S2>And it, like, takes over your whole body. Yeah.

0:22:01.990 --> 0:22:04.780
<v S4>Yeah, that's exactly right. And I think, I think there

0:22:04.780 --> 0:22:06.880
<v S4>are probably two ways that I would say for this

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.919
<v S4>listener to really start thinking about it. If they want

0:22:08.950 --> 0:22:11.560
<v S4>to disclose. Go for it. But it's always important to

0:22:11.590 --> 0:22:13.810
<v S4>fall on your sword. When we fall on our sword,

0:22:13.810 --> 0:22:16.209
<v S4>we take accountability for our own actions, and then we

0:22:16.210 --> 0:22:19.800
<v S4>do the olive branch of how can we rebuild and repair? Okay,

0:22:19.830 --> 0:22:21.810
<v S4>so that's the. I shouldn't have gone through your phone.

0:22:21.810 --> 0:22:25.889
<v S4>I'm sorry. However, what I found is been really confronting for.

0:22:25.890 --> 0:22:26.490
<v S5>Me.

0:22:27.030 --> 0:22:30.600
<v S4>And ABC. Now, we can't explicitly ask our partner to

0:22:30.630 --> 0:22:32.520
<v S4>remove things from their phones. They have nothing to do

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.159
<v S4>with us because it's their phone and it's their private information.

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.580
<v S4>But what you can potentially do is ask for a compromise.

0:22:38.820 --> 0:22:42.240
<v S4>You may say something along the lines of it comes

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.540
<v S4>to content that involves your past relationships. Is there an

0:22:45.540 --> 0:22:47.400
<v S4>opportunity or a possibility for you to put that on

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:48.240
<v S4>a hard drive.

0:22:48.270 --> 0:22:48.930
<v S5>That.

0:22:48.930 --> 0:22:53.280
<v S4>Is existing somewhere in the house that you that that

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.949
<v S4>you don't have on your phone? You may throw in

0:22:55.950 --> 0:22:58.889
<v S4>a compromise. And again, your partner can say no to

0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:03.030
<v S4>that because it's their phone and it's their content. But

0:23:03.030 --> 0:23:05.850
<v S4>I think what's really important to remember is if you're

0:23:05.850 --> 0:23:08.310
<v S4>holding on to this after a month, say, this listener

0:23:08.340 --> 0:23:10.530
<v S4>decided not to say anything, and 3 or 4 months

0:23:10.530 --> 0:23:12.869
<v S4>down the track, they're still thinking about it. Of course,

0:23:12.869 --> 0:23:14.520
<v S4>you can still bring it up. It's something that you

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:16.530
<v S4>did a few months ago. You know, if that's what

0:23:16.530 --> 0:23:19.149
<v S4>you want to do. but it's always leading in with

0:23:19.150 --> 0:23:22.900
<v S4>Self-accountability and then coming up with a plan for repair

0:23:22.900 --> 0:23:27.070
<v S4>and reconnect. And I think that's the most important thing

0:23:27.100 --> 0:23:31.000
<v S4>to be able to do is that self-accountability and repair

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:34.690
<v S4>and and reconnect. And it's completely up to what this

0:23:34.690 --> 0:23:37.060
<v S4>listener wants to do. There's no right or wrong. It's

0:23:37.060 --> 0:23:38.350
<v S4>just what they want to do.

0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.129
<v S3>And I think that's that's been the biggest message from today.

0:23:42.130 --> 0:23:44.050
<v S3>And I think that's what I love so much about

0:23:44.050 --> 0:23:46.000
<v S3>your advice is that there's no right or wrong. So

0:23:46.030 --> 0:23:49.900
<v S3>even if this conversation happens and it doesn't go down

0:23:49.900 --> 0:23:52.480
<v S3>the way you know, they want it to, it's then

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.360
<v S3>up to them if they feel comfortable or not staying

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:55.990
<v S3>in the relationship.

0:23:56.020 --> 0:23:56.740
<v S5>Absolutely.

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.230
<v S4>Absolutely 100%.

0:23:59.260 --> 0:24:02.830
<v S2>Thank you. Megan, you are a queen. We appreciate you

0:24:02.830 --> 0:24:05.320
<v S2>so much and your wisdom wise.

0:24:05.350 --> 0:24:06.160
<v S4>I love our chats.

0:24:06.190 --> 0:24:07.389
<v S5>Thank you so much, ladies.

0:24:07.420 --> 0:24:07.990
<v S2>Bye.

0:24:11.020 --> 0:24:12.220
<v S7>One. Two. Three. Four.

0:24:12.820 --> 0:24:18.530
<v S2>Okay, guys. Hi. Hi. Hi. I, I need to talk

0:24:18.530 --> 0:24:21.740
<v S2>to you about something. I feel like this year there

0:24:21.740 --> 0:24:24.889
<v S2>was there was a point in the podcast where every

0:24:24.890 --> 0:24:27.680
<v S2>week I had a story about my two dogs, Bill

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:31.699
<v S2>and Ben, pooing in the house. And some people loved it.

0:24:31.700 --> 0:24:34.790
<v S2>Some people did not love it so much. Yeah, it.

0:24:34.790 --> 0:24:36.800
<v S3>Does need a disclaimer this segment.

0:24:37.010 --> 0:24:39.560
<v S2>If you don't like talking about poo, do not listen

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:40.430
<v S2>to this segment.

0:24:40.430 --> 0:24:43.010
<v S3>And probably I'm gonna say there's probably going to be

0:24:43.010 --> 0:24:45.920
<v S3>a little swear word thrown in there and maybe here

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:46.490
<v S3>and there.

0:24:46.850 --> 0:24:51.320
<v S2>So what happened in my house a couple of weeks

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.629
<v S2>ago was fucked again.

0:24:53.630 --> 0:24:54.439
<v S3>And F-word two.

0:24:54.470 --> 0:24:57.320
<v S2>There you go. Oh, you said s word. Shit. Okay.

0:24:57.350 --> 0:25:00.350
<v S2>It was actually like. I'm so sorry. I'm okay.

0:25:00.350 --> 0:25:01.580
<v S3>So you can say it was fucked.

0:25:01.609 --> 0:25:05.389
<v S2>I am working from home. I'm so. I'm at home

0:25:05.390 --> 0:25:09.320
<v S2>for this day. And what had happened was the day before,

0:25:09.350 --> 0:25:12.649
<v S2>poor little Benny had had. My dog had had a

0:25:12.650 --> 0:25:16.320
<v S2>very sore tummy. And every time he ate he was vomiting.

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:19.260
<v S2>So he had vomited in his all good. Now though,

0:25:19.500 --> 0:25:22.320
<v S2>in case anyone's worried like I was. But he's all

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.379
<v S2>good now, and he's vomited in his bed and Bill's bed,

0:25:25.380 --> 0:25:27.840
<v S2>and we have these beds that you can wash. You

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.450
<v S2>can take them apart and wash, and it honestly takes

0:25:30.450 --> 0:25:32.580
<v S2>probably five minutes to put them back to bed together.

0:25:32.580 --> 0:25:35.040
<v S2>But it is the bane of my existence. I it

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.380
<v S2>is my least favourite job. I hate it more than

0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:40.350
<v S2>making our bed. Yeah, and I really don't like putting

0:25:40.350 --> 0:25:42.570
<v S2>sheets on the bed, so it's just very. I feel the.

0:25:42.570 --> 0:25:44.040
<v S3>Same way about couch cushion.

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.560
<v S2>Covers. Yes, it's similar, similar experience. Right. Anyway. But I

0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.109
<v S2>was like, look, we'll leave the it's a bit gross,

0:25:49.109 --> 0:25:50.430
<v S2>but I was like, we'll leave the beds for another

0:25:50.430 --> 0:25:53.220
<v S2>night because if he vomits again, I'm not doing that twice. Okay,

0:25:53.220 --> 0:25:57.209
<v S2>so we've got beds, dog beds with vomit. Then we

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.790
<v S2>wake up in the morning and Ben has then vomited

0:25:59.790 --> 0:26:02.700
<v S2>the poor thing all over the rug. Now, because this

0:26:02.700 --> 0:26:04.620
<v S2>is a common occurrence in our household, it hasn't happened

0:26:04.619 --> 0:26:06.450
<v S2>for a while. We have a washable rug. We have

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:08.640
<v S2>a washable rug that can go in the in a

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.220
<v S2>commercial washing machine. So at the laundromat, which has everyone

0:26:12.220 --> 0:26:14.320
<v S2>that's been on my dry saga story. You know, I

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.800
<v S2>spend a lot of time at the laundromat. I'm well

0:26:17.830 --> 0:26:22.540
<v S2>accustomed to that. Anyway, so the house smells like vomit. Okay,

0:26:22.540 --> 0:26:24.070
<v S2>it is what it is. I had to go to

0:26:24.100 --> 0:26:26.980
<v S2>a physio appointment, go to my physio appointment. I come

0:26:26.980 --> 0:26:30.970
<v S2>back and I'm like, I walk into our house and

0:26:30.970 --> 0:26:33.940
<v S2>I was like, oh my God, I can smell vomit,

0:26:33.940 --> 0:26:37.300
<v S2>but I can also smell sewerage. And I was like,

0:26:37.300 --> 0:26:41.230
<v S2>oh my God. And I'm walking. And as I'm getting

0:26:41.230 --> 0:26:44.710
<v S2>closer to our bathroom, I'm like, our bedroom, mind you,

0:26:44.710 --> 0:26:46.600
<v S2>and our ensuite, that doesn't have a door. It's all

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:50.859
<v S2>open space. Yeah, it's getting worse and worse. And I

0:26:50.859 --> 0:26:53.889
<v S2>was like, what has Dawson done in this house? Like what?

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.169
<v S2>He went straight to blaming Dalton. I'm like, What is

0:26:56.170 --> 0:27:00.250
<v S2>Dalton done? Walk into our bathroom now. Our shower in

0:27:00.250 --> 0:27:02.680
<v S2>our rental is it's a little bit random. It's like

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:04.899
<v S2>it's almost got a bath built into it. But it's

0:27:04.900 --> 0:27:06.550
<v S2>not one of those bath showers.

0:27:06.580 --> 0:27:09.040
<v S3>It's a square shower with a step down.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:10.220
<v S2>Step down? Exactly.

0:27:10.250 --> 0:27:13.400
<v S3>Yeah, but it's not. It's probably like. What would you say?

0:27:13.820 --> 0:27:16.910
<v S3>I don't know how many centimeters, but it's not super,

0:27:16.910 --> 0:27:17.390
<v S3>super deep.

0:27:17.420 --> 0:27:19.250
<v S2>No it's not. It's probably about 30.

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:20.600
<v S3>Great for washing the dogs.

0:27:20.630 --> 0:27:26.480
<v S2>Yeah, yeah. True, true. Anyway, so I walk into our

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.660
<v S2>bathroom and I was like, what the actual. Sorry to swear,

0:27:29.660 --> 0:27:36.020
<v S2>but fuck. We had sewage in our shower. Sewage pool,

0:27:36.050 --> 0:27:38.659
<v S2>water in our shower. And I was like, oh my God.

0:27:38.690 --> 0:27:41.690
<v S2>So the sewage through the pipes has come up through

0:27:41.690 --> 0:27:44.120
<v S2>all not all of the most of the drains in

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:48.320
<v S2>our house. And so the, the basins and including our

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:55.940
<v S2>shower had floating poo. I honestly died, I was like,

0:27:55.940 --> 0:27:59.270
<v S2>oh my God, how am I ever going to stand?

0:27:59.270 --> 0:28:04.340
<v S2>It's like absorbing into the walls of the shower. There's floaties.

0:28:04.340 --> 0:28:10.560
<v S2>It is not good. And then I'm like, oh my God, Dalton,

0:28:10.770 --> 0:28:13.590
<v S2>what are we going to do? Because the plumbing is not. Again,

0:28:13.590 --> 0:28:16.770
<v S2>I really like to be empowered except to not plumbing.

0:28:16.770 --> 0:28:20.610
<v S2>It's not my domain. I then walk out and then

0:28:20.609 --> 0:28:25.260
<v S2>I'm like, where's Bill and Ben gone? I walk around

0:28:25.619 --> 0:28:29.609
<v S2>outside and mind you, Ben with a sore tummy, who's

0:28:29.609 --> 0:28:32.399
<v S2>just come back from the vet having an injection to

0:28:32.430 --> 0:28:36.119
<v S2>not vomit anymore, and he's on a strict diet of, uh,

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:40.710
<v S2>rice and chicken boiled with nothing on it. And, Bill,

0:28:40.710 --> 0:28:44.100
<v S2>they're both. So the drain also is outside. It is

0:28:44.100 --> 0:28:47.940
<v S2>overflowing outside. It's made a big puddle of stuff. Bill

0:28:47.940 --> 0:28:51.720
<v S2>and Ben are there drinking it, and and they then

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:55.980
<v S2>smell like sewage as well. And our house, I can't

0:28:56.010 --> 0:28:58.350
<v S2>it was vomit. It was sewage. It was. Oh, my God,

0:28:58.350 --> 0:29:00.900
<v S2>I can't even explain to you. And it was quite,

0:29:00.900 --> 0:29:04.080
<v S2>it was quite. It was, it was a lot. So

0:29:04.110 --> 0:29:05.760
<v S2>tell me it was a lot. Because I know you.

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:09.730
<v S3>Guys got, like an emergency plumber in straight away. But you.

0:29:09.730 --> 0:29:11.920
<v S3>I know this because you've just moved in. You're renting

0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:15.220
<v S3>and your spare bedroom isn't set up. Yes. So you

0:29:15.250 --> 0:29:17.800
<v S3>slept in your. We did. What was that night like?

0:29:17.830 --> 0:29:21.070
<v S2>Oh, yes. So we it went down because the emergency plumber.

0:29:21.070 --> 0:29:24.310
<v S2>But the thing is unfortunately there's some in the all.

0:29:24.310 --> 0:29:27.880
<v S2>It's the same in our old house. The pipes were

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:31.840
<v S2>made of terracotta so tree roots can get into them. Yes.

0:29:31.870 --> 0:29:33.760
<v S2>Isn't it crazy? They used to make people used to

0:29:33.790 --> 0:29:36.670
<v S2>make pipes out of terracotta. I'm no plumber, but that

0:29:36.670 --> 0:29:39.790
<v S2>seems quite out there. Well, you know, I don't think

0:29:39.790 --> 0:29:41.980
<v S2>they do it anymore. Wasn't, as you know. Yeah. I

0:29:41.980 --> 0:29:45.940
<v S2>don't think they do it anymore anyway. But yes, it was.

0:29:45.940 --> 0:29:49.540
<v S2>I sprayed so much stuff. I scrubbed the shower I

0:29:49.570 --> 0:29:52.000
<v S2>it was, it was, it was, it was a lot.

0:29:52.030 --> 0:29:55.240
<v S2>It was a lot. And it just it just got

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.270
<v S2>me thinking like plumbing is just like hats off to.

0:29:58.300 --> 0:30:00.700
<v S3>All the plumbers out there. Seriously, how they do it? Slay.

0:30:00.730 --> 0:30:02.080
<v S3>I really don't know how they do.

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.610
<v S2>It, but it's also one of the like I've never

0:30:04.610 --> 0:30:07.790
<v S2>had poo in the shower before. So it was. Yeah, I'm.

0:30:07.790 --> 0:30:09.080
<v S3>Sure many people haven't.

0:30:09.110 --> 0:30:11.450
<v S2>But I did what? We washed the dog beds and

0:30:11.450 --> 0:30:13.130
<v S2>we washed the rug, and now we have like a

0:30:13.130 --> 0:30:16.490
<v S2>rug that looks brand new. So that's a positive, very positive.

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:22.370
<v S2>But it was genuinely a shit show. I love Plumbing

0:30:22.370 --> 0:30:23.540
<v S2>disaster of all time.

0:30:23.540 --> 0:30:26.930
<v S3>No, that is definitely. That is definitely a big plumbing disaster.

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:30.140
<v S3>It makes me think though, like there's I have no

0:30:30.140 --> 0:30:34.040
<v S3>doubt in my mind that our community will absolutely have

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.800
<v S3>some stories, but I would like to share one. I

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:39.440
<v S3>think when you told me about this, it made me

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:43.190
<v S3>think about any plumbing disasters that I've been a part of.

0:30:43.190 --> 0:30:46.490
<v S3>And one time up the farm, which is my husband

0:30:46.490 --> 0:30:51.380
<v S3>Josh's family holiday house, his dad came in and said

0:30:51.380 --> 0:30:54.800
<v S3>to all of us, look, I'm going to be under

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:57.800
<v S3>the house with the pipes. No one used the bathroom

0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:00.500
<v S3>for like the next little while we were watching a movie.

0:31:00.500 --> 0:31:03.000
<v S3>So I think I was a bit like just nodding along,

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:06.510
<v S3>but like, didn't really clock what he'd said. It was

0:31:06.510 --> 0:31:07.920
<v S3>some time afterwards.

0:31:08.340 --> 0:31:09.510
<v S2>But how much.

0:31:09.510 --> 0:31:12.150
<v S3>Time? I don't remember, but it wasn't straight away.

0:31:13.170 --> 0:31:13.770
<v S2>At least it was.

0:31:13.770 --> 0:31:15.540
<v S3>Long enough that he was under the house for a

0:31:15.540 --> 0:31:18.420
<v S3>while and I went to the toilet.

0:31:18.450 --> 0:31:20.700
<v S2>Wait, he's not a plumber either. He's not? No.

0:31:20.730 --> 0:31:22.950
<v S3>So he knows his things. Okay. You know, he's a

0:31:22.950 --> 0:31:27.120
<v S3>handy dude. So he was under there and I went

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:31.230
<v S3>to the toilet, forgetting he was under the house and, um,

0:31:31.260 --> 0:31:32.640
<v S3>went number twos.

0:31:32.670 --> 0:31:33.570
<v S2>You did a poo.

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.830
<v S3>I did a poo, and the pipes were open, and

0:31:37.830 --> 0:31:42.570
<v S3>he came inside and was like, who did the toilet?

0:31:42.660 --> 0:31:46.740
<v S3>And I wasn't alone. Like there was, I think like Ethan. Josh, like,

0:31:46.770 --> 0:31:48.990
<v S3>there was quite a few of us there. And I

0:31:48.990 --> 0:31:52.770
<v S3>was like, just instantly I realized what I had done. No. Yes,

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.330
<v S3>of course I did. Well, everyone also knew that I

0:31:54.330 --> 0:31:55.800
<v S3>went to the toilet. But did you announce it? No

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:58.470
<v S3>one decided. Well, I'd left the room and come back. Well, you.

0:31:58.470 --> 0:31:59.850
<v S2>Didn't, you didn't. But no one.

0:31:59.850 --> 0:32:02.080
<v S3>Else had gone to the toilet because they were all

0:32:02.110 --> 0:32:02.560
<v S3>they all.

0:32:02.740 --> 0:32:05.170
<v S2>Remembered. I would have said no. I went to the

0:32:05.170 --> 0:32:08.230
<v S2>bedroom to, um, brush my hair. It felt naughty.

0:32:08.830 --> 0:32:14.770
<v S3>What had happened was basically my shit had flown with

0:32:14.770 --> 0:32:21.160
<v S3>water out of the pipe and apparently just missed his head.

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:27.040
<v S3>Like just missed his head. And I just, I think back.

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:28.120
<v S2>Now, and I think it's.

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:29.530
<v S3>The funniest thing ever.

0:32:29.860 --> 0:32:30.220
<v S2>Because I.

0:32:30.220 --> 0:32:31.810
<v S3>Almost shat on my father in law's.

0:32:31.810 --> 0:32:35.290
<v S2>Head. You nearly pooed in your father in law's mouth.

0:32:36.340 --> 0:32:39.220
<v S2>Why did you have to go there? Is that a fetish?

0:32:39.310 --> 0:32:40.120
<v S2>In some places?

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:43.630
<v S3>Disgusting. But anyway. So. Yeah, it was, um. That's that's

0:32:43.630 --> 0:32:44.050
<v S3>my story.

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:48.280
<v S2>So your father in law, Ken? Yes, as I call him. Yes.

0:32:48.310 --> 0:32:52.450
<v S2>Came in and said, who pooed then? Did he say who?

0:32:52.450 --> 0:32:54.640
<v S2>Poo went in my. Did he say who's the toilet?

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:56.979
<v S2>And then you confess or did he say, hey, a

0:32:57.010 --> 0:33:00.230
<v S2>poo just flew Blew into my face. Whose was it?

0:33:00.230 --> 0:33:00.680
<v S2>I think it.

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:04.760
<v S3>Was more like who? Just use the toilet. And then

0:33:04.760 --> 0:33:07.100
<v S3>I was like, oh, and everyone looked at me because

0:33:07.100 --> 0:33:08.570
<v S3>I was the only one who had left the room.

0:33:08.570 --> 0:33:10.550
<v S2>Why are you so truthful, Laura?

0:33:10.580 --> 0:33:13.670
<v S3>I was the only one who left the room.

0:33:13.670 --> 0:33:15.590
<v S2>I would deny for the rest of my life.

0:33:15.620 --> 0:33:18.950
<v S3>No, no, no, I literally couldn't, I couldn't, I literally

0:33:18.950 --> 0:33:21.410
<v S3>could not. Like, how could you? So if we were

0:33:21.410 --> 0:33:24.320
<v S3>sitting in a room, you, me, Dalton, Josh and your

0:33:24.350 --> 0:33:26.990
<v S3>two sisters sitting in the lounge room, you were the

0:33:26.990 --> 0:33:30.290
<v S3>only one who left the room. Two seconds later, after

0:33:30.290 --> 0:33:32.780
<v S3>you've come back to the room, your mum comes in

0:33:32.780 --> 0:33:36.560
<v S3>and says, who used the bathroom? We would all, of course,

0:33:36.590 --> 0:33:38.360
<v S3>look straight at you because we'd be like, well, we've

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:41.060
<v S3>been here. How are you going to get out of that?

0:33:41.090 --> 0:33:42.470
<v S2>I've got the best, I've got the best thing. That's

0:33:42.470 --> 0:33:44.180
<v S2>what I do. And also, guys, I'm not a liar.

0:33:44.180 --> 0:33:46.520
<v S2>But I think you might be. I wouldn't want to

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.190
<v S2>admit that I pooed on my father in law's head

0:33:49.190 --> 0:33:49.850
<v S2>like me.

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.580
<v S3>It was me. I was like, oh, fuck.

0:33:52.610 --> 0:33:57.510
<v S2>What a privilege. No. Okay, so what I would say

0:33:57.870 --> 0:33:59.760
<v S2>this is how to get out of this situation. And guys,

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:01.440
<v S2>I just want to say I don't want to again,

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:03.720
<v S2>I'm not a liar, but I just would not want

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:07.080
<v S2>my father in law in this situation. I'm not admitting

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.149
<v S2>it was me, okay? That is, I am a liar

0:34:09.150 --> 0:34:10.590
<v S2>in this situation. Literally.

0:34:10.590 --> 0:34:11.310
<v S3>No way.

0:34:11.340 --> 0:34:13.950
<v S2>Let me tell you. I realized I had to check

0:34:13.950 --> 0:34:16.230
<v S2>my phone. It was in the room or something like that.

0:34:16.260 --> 0:34:17.880
<v S2>Make a reason to go to the room? I needed

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:19.770
<v S2>to get something from the room. When I walked in there,

0:34:19.770 --> 0:34:23.370
<v S2>I realized that Dalton left a huge pool in the toilet.

0:34:23.370 --> 0:34:25.500
<v S2>Oh my God. And I was so disgusted that I

0:34:25.530 --> 0:34:28.890
<v S2>flushed it. I'm so sorry, Ken. I forgot that you.

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:32.549
<v S3>Of course you would blame Dalton. Of course you would

0:34:32.580 --> 0:34:33.630
<v S3>blame Dalton.

0:34:33.900 --> 0:34:37.110
<v S2>At least my father in law would not think that

0:34:37.110 --> 0:34:39.359
<v S2>my poo nearly hit him. He would think it was

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.290
<v S2>his son's, which is much better for everyone. The end. Linz,

0:34:43.290 --> 0:34:44.250
<v S2>what do you think of that?

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.560
<v S1>Oh my God, I'm dying. Am I evil?

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:51.210
<v S2>Am I evil or is that what? Can you guys

0:34:51.210 --> 0:34:53.460
<v S2>let me know? Because there is a time where a

0:34:53.489 --> 0:34:56.739
<v S2>little white lie to let to just think that. So

0:34:56.739 --> 0:35:00.460
<v S2>your father in law thinks that his own, uh, child's

0:35:00.489 --> 0:35:03.250
<v S2>poo has been near his face instead of someone he's

0:35:03.250 --> 0:35:04.299
<v S2>not related to.

0:35:04.330 --> 0:35:08.290
<v S3>Can I just say any shit near your face is shit, right?

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:10.960
<v S2>No, but you want. He would have once cleaned Josh's nappies.

0:35:10.989 --> 0:35:14.770
<v S3>That's very different to an adult human. Poo in some ways.

0:35:14.770 --> 0:35:17.859
<v S3>Probably would prefer my poo than Josh's, I would say.

0:35:17.890 --> 0:35:21.910
<v S3>But it's like it's. It's not that. It's like. Also,

0:35:21.940 --> 0:35:23.770
<v S3>I'm pretty close with my father in law, but he

0:35:23.770 --> 0:35:26.170
<v S3>also was laughing, like it wasn't like a.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:29.350
<v S2>Still, did I? I would still deny it. I can't

0:35:29.350 --> 0:35:31.150
<v S2>believe that. What would you do?

0:35:31.180 --> 0:35:34.510
<v S1>I think that I would have to own up to it.

0:35:34.540 --> 0:35:35.920
<v S1>I don't think that I could. I'm not a very

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:37.779
<v S1>good liar. I don't think I could get away with it.

0:35:39.070 --> 0:35:41.800
<v S2>Me neither. I'd also be laughing the whole time.

0:35:41.830 --> 0:35:42.850
<v S3>I just can't.

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:44.950
<v S2>I can't. Guys, we're going to put a poll on

0:35:44.950 --> 0:35:48.580
<v S2>the stories. Because this lie is I. Lying is very

0:35:48.580 --> 0:35:51.010
<v S2>bad in terms of, like where it harms the relationship,

0:35:51.010 --> 0:35:52.690
<v S2>where it's. You don't need to validate that.

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:53.020
<v S3>Honey, do you.

0:35:53.020 --> 0:35:54.680
<v S2>Know what I mean? Like, this is a white lie

0:35:54.710 --> 0:35:57.290
<v S2>that just. I just don't need my father in law.

0:35:57.320 --> 0:36:00.379
<v S3>You would throw Dalton under the bus over so many things, though.

0:36:00.380 --> 0:36:04.160
<v S3>That tells me. Yeah, of course, of course.

0:36:04.250 --> 0:36:04.700
<v S2>Thinks he.

0:36:04.700 --> 0:36:05.270
<v S3>Hasn't done.

0:36:05.300 --> 0:36:08.930
<v S2>You guys tell me, what would you do? Am I

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.080
<v S2>evil or am I just smart?

0:36:13.070 --> 0:36:15.770
<v S3>Look, I wasn't smart in this situation. I literally did

0:36:15.770 --> 0:36:16.880
<v S3>the opposite of what I was told.

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:18.560
<v S2>That's not the right word. And, you know, all I

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:20.870
<v S2>can think of right now is talking to myself from

0:36:20.900 --> 0:36:22.790
<v S2>mean Girls. Say, say it to me. Say it to me.

0:36:22.790 --> 0:36:27.320
<v S2>I made you say it yesterday. What? You dirty. Go, go, you.

0:36:27.350 --> 0:36:28.790
<v S8>Dirty little liar!

0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:31.400
<v S3>You didn't say that to me yesterday. What did I say?

0:36:31.430 --> 0:36:36.890
<v S3>You said little bitch. And I was like, what the actual.

0:36:36.890 --> 0:36:40.160
<v UU>Fuck? We've had the longest day ever. And you do

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:42.530
<v UU>it to me, you little bitch.

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:45.710
<v S3>Because you had to get changed.

0:36:45.710 --> 0:36:49.250
<v S2>One more time than I did. Do you know why, guys?

0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.770
<v S2>I'm dying because it was the end of the photo shoot.

0:36:51.940 --> 0:36:57.850
<v S2>We had been. We had been. We had been shooting since. Okay.

0:36:57.850 --> 0:37:01.750
<v S2>So we started shooting yesterday at 4:30 a.m. or started

0:37:01.750 --> 0:37:04.870
<v S2>hair and makeup at 4:30 a.m.. This is 6 p.m.

0:37:05.020 --> 0:37:08.230
<v S2>now I don't modelling for me is I've got I

0:37:08.260 --> 0:37:11.560
<v S2>like it's our own collection. It's obviously so exciting. But

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:15.339
<v S2>we had changed 45 times. That's an exaggeration. Probably 15.

0:37:15.340 --> 0:37:17.589
<v S2>But I was like and in my head I knew

0:37:17.620 --> 0:37:19.630
<v S2>we were on our last change. We just had to put.

0:37:19.660 --> 0:37:22.120
<v S2>We were putting the jumper on top for the last

0:37:22.270 --> 0:37:25.180
<v S2>shot and our shorts were going to stay, because changing

0:37:25.180 --> 0:37:27.100
<v S2>your top, fine. It's changing. You take the shoes off,

0:37:27.130 --> 0:37:29.170
<v S2>you put the shoes back on. That's where for me,

0:37:29.170 --> 0:37:30.910
<v S2>I was like in my head I was like, Laura,

0:37:30.910 --> 0:37:34.780
<v S2>well done. You have changed 15,000 times. You are done.

0:37:34.810 --> 0:37:36.609
<v S2>This is the last thing you just put a jumper on.

0:37:36.610 --> 0:37:39.940
<v S2>And then the combo, because the jumper is the blue

0:37:39.940 --> 0:37:42.580
<v S2>and the cream I don't like black and blue together

0:37:42.580 --> 0:37:44.200
<v S2>is not the vibe. So we were like, we need

0:37:44.230 --> 0:37:44.799
<v S2>blue and cream.

0:37:44.890 --> 0:37:45.310
<v S3>Yeah, yeah.

0:37:45.340 --> 0:37:47.440
<v S2>But I was putting the cream jumper on and I

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.240
<v S2>had cream shorts on. Yeah. And there's only one blue jumper,

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:53.299
<v S2>so Steffi kept her cream shorts on. But it wasn't

0:37:53.300 --> 0:37:54.739
<v S2>your choice. Stop it! What?

0:37:54.770 --> 0:37:56.990
<v S3>Stop it! You're still trying to make me look like

0:37:56.989 --> 0:37:59.510
<v S3>a little bitch. You were in the shots just before

0:37:59.510 --> 0:38:02.240
<v S3>I was in the cream shorts and the blue jumper.

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.460
<v S3>And you were in the blue shorts and the cream

0:38:04.460 --> 0:38:07.610
<v S3>jumper when I went to change. Maddy said, we need

0:38:07.610 --> 0:38:10.100
<v S3>you in the same outfits as the last shot. So

0:38:10.100 --> 0:38:11.810
<v S3>you put the jumper on, and I'm going to put

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.879
<v S3>Laura back in the blue shorts. So I went into

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:14.450
<v S3>the change rooms.

0:38:14.750 --> 0:38:15.410
<v S2>Got changed.

0:38:15.830 --> 0:38:18.319
<v S3>As soon as Maddy passed you those shorts, you looked

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:20.930
<v S3>at me and you said, you little bitch. Dirty.

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:21.500
<v S2>I said.

0:38:21.530 --> 0:38:23.120
<v S3>You didn't. You said, you little bitch.

0:38:23.210 --> 0:38:25.489
<v S2>But what I was trying to in my head also

0:38:25.489 --> 0:38:27.500
<v S2>for everyone's like, oh my God, Laura, you little savage.

0:38:27.530 --> 0:38:30.799
<v S2>She was so savage. But when I was also trying,

0:38:31.070 --> 0:38:34.070
<v S2>I was thinking of the mango scene in my head,

0:38:34.070 --> 0:38:36.739
<v S2>and I totally jumbled the words to the point that

0:38:36.739 --> 0:38:38.600
<v S2>it just sounded like I called you a little bitch.

0:38:38.630 --> 0:38:41.180
<v S2>And I really was trying to say you're dirty little

0:38:41.210 --> 0:38:44.810
<v S2>because I was going crazy at this point of the day. Anyway,

0:38:44.810 --> 0:38:46.850
<v S2>it was all over having to change into a pair

0:38:46.850 --> 0:38:48.810
<v S2>of shorts, which I loved. Took me five seconds and

0:38:48.810 --> 0:38:51.210
<v S2>it was fine, but it was so funny because I

0:38:51.210 --> 0:38:56.100
<v S2>was trying to say that line. Anyway. So anyway.

0:38:56.130 --> 0:39:00.060
<v S3>Anyway, moving back to the short stories, please, please let

0:39:00.060 --> 0:39:01.860
<v S3>us know what you would have done. We'll put a

0:39:01.860 --> 0:39:04.470
<v S3>poll in the Facebook group and on our stories of

0:39:04.469 --> 0:39:05.910
<v S3>what you would have done if you would have lied

0:39:05.910 --> 0:39:08.370
<v S3>and said it wasn't your you didn't go to the toilet,

0:39:08.370 --> 0:39:09.990
<v S3>or if you would own up to it. And then

0:39:09.989 --> 0:39:14.070
<v S3>also please send us in your plumbing disaster stories and

0:39:14.070 --> 0:39:15.569
<v S3>we will share them next week.

0:39:19.530 --> 0:39:21.930
<v S9>But is it time for special share?

0:39:22.890 --> 0:39:27.300
<v S3>Share. My special share is actually a go to meditation

0:39:27.300 --> 0:39:30.150
<v S3>of of mine on the Kik app, and it's called

0:39:30.150 --> 0:39:33.180
<v S3>four Part Breath and it's with Jamie. This is also

0:39:33.180 --> 0:39:36.360
<v S3>known as box Breathing. It goes for about five minutes,

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.610
<v S3>but you can do the practice for much longer than that.

0:39:38.610 --> 0:39:41.490
<v S3>But basically through the meditation he teaches you how to

0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:43.680
<v S3>stop and breathe and focus on your breath and get

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:45.930
<v S3>to four part breath, which is when you breathe in

0:39:45.930 --> 0:39:49.250
<v S3>for four counts, hold for four counts, out for four counts,

0:39:49.250 --> 0:39:52.490
<v S3>hold for four counts. And for me, this breathing meditation

0:39:52.489 --> 0:39:56.209
<v S3>and even just this method is the best thing to

0:39:56.210 --> 0:39:59.000
<v S3>do when I'm really stressed. Or my heart rate's like

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.210
<v S3>through the roof. And the reason why I wanted to

0:40:02.210 --> 0:40:03.710
<v S3>bring it up, because it's one of my favorites and

0:40:03.710 --> 0:40:05.960
<v S3>my go to, obviously. But the reason why I also

0:40:05.989 --> 0:40:08.239
<v S3>wanted to bring it up now, because I've been using

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:11.719
<v S3>it for ages, is last night, as we've kind of

0:40:11.750 --> 0:40:13.759
<v S3>touched on, we're away, we're in Sydney, we're in a

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:16.969
<v S3>hotel room. I haven't had the best luck with being

0:40:16.969 --> 0:40:20.270
<v S3>interrupted in my sleep while we've been here, and the

0:40:20.270 --> 0:40:22.819
<v S3>other night someone tried to accidentally get into my door.

0:40:22.820 --> 0:40:24.320
<v S3>I think they were just had a really, really like.

0:40:24.350 --> 0:40:26.000
<v S3>It was like the middle of the night, 2 a.m.

0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:28.399
<v S3>and I heard the car beep card beep on my

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:30.110
<v S3>door and then the door rattle. And that woke me up.

0:40:30.110 --> 0:40:31.340
<v S3>And it kind of rattled me because I was like,

0:40:31.370 --> 0:40:33.739
<v S3>is there someone in my room? So that was the

0:40:33.739 --> 0:40:38.359
<v S3>other night, last night, what happened? Which literally threw my

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:41.750
<v S3>heart rate through the roof. Do you remember how we

0:40:41.780 --> 0:40:44.060
<v S3>were getting our hair and make up done in my room? Yes,

0:40:44.090 --> 0:40:47.029
<v S3>at 4:30 a.m.. Yes. And I put the Bluetooth speaker on.

0:40:47.060 --> 0:40:49.460
<v S3>Oh my God. And I connected music. Yes, but it

0:40:49.460 --> 0:40:54.200
<v S3>was really soft, right? Yeah. I woke up to. I'm

0:40:54.230 --> 0:40:59.570
<v S3>talking loud. As loud as a party. Music blasting through

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:01.760
<v S3>my speaker at 2:30 a.m..

0:41:01.790 --> 0:41:02.149
<v S2>Oh my.

0:41:02.150 --> 0:41:04.040
<v S3>God. And I jumped.

0:41:04.070 --> 0:41:04.580
<v S2>Oh. Of course.

0:41:04.610 --> 0:41:06.830
<v S3>Out of bed. Because it startled me so much. Oh

0:41:06.830 --> 0:41:09.830
<v S3>my God. Like, threw myself at the wall to the

0:41:09.830 --> 0:41:12.169
<v S3>plug because I also couldn't really see much to just

0:41:12.170 --> 0:41:15.980
<v S3>turn it off from the power point. And my heart rate,

0:41:15.980 --> 0:41:17.780
<v S3>because it was. I can't even explain how loud it

0:41:17.780 --> 0:41:21.560
<v S3>was so loud. Like obviously someone was up late listening

0:41:21.590 --> 0:41:23.930
<v S3>to music and it had like disconnected from their speaker

0:41:23.930 --> 0:41:26.210
<v S3>and had like connected to mine or someone else's music.

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.069
<v S2>I thought your phone had music.

0:41:28.100 --> 0:41:28.819
<v S3>No.

0:41:28.850 --> 0:41:29.810
<v S2>My God, that is.

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.030
<v S3>It was music I'd never heard before. And it was.

0:41:32.030 --> 0:41:34.549
<v S3>It was. I honestly was listening for it to two

0:41:34.550 --> 0:41:36.980
<v S3>seconds before I turned it off. So like. But I also,

0:41:37.010 --> 0:41:38.630
<v S3>I think I was also startled because I was like,

0:41:38.630 --> 0:41:40.279
<v S3>if I work in everyone else up around me, like

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:41.600
<v S3>I wanted to ask you because you're in the room

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:44.280
<v S3>next to me if you heard anything? But then I

0:41:44.310 --> 0:41:46.170
<v S3>lay back in bed and my heart rate.

0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:46.439
<v S2>Oh.

0:41:46.980 --> 0:41:50.100
<v S3>Because it was just like shock. And so loud was,

0:41:50.130 --> 0:41:51.029
<v S3>oh my God, it.

0:41:51.030 --> 0:41:52.560
<v S2>Literally would have jumped out of bed. Like I would.

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:54.840
<v S3>Have felt like I was running, like I was like.

0:41:55.230 --> 0:41:57.480
<v S3>So then I was literally doing four part breath in

0:41:57.480 --> 0:42:01.020
<v S3>the bed until I fell asleep. So yeah, bit of

0:42:01.020 --> 0:42:03.810
<v S3>a story there for you, but also great meditation.

0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.050
<v S2>Love, I love that. Um, and I'm sorry, that is

0:42:07.050 --> 0:42:09.930
<v S2>really shocking. Took a while to go back. Very unlucky.

0:42:09.930 --> 0:42:12.210
<v S2>That is very unlikely and very unlucky.

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:14.550
<v S3>Yeah, I feel like Bluetooth speakers in hotels shouldn't be

0:42:14.550 --> 0:42:16.320
<v S3>a thing if you can connect to someone else's room.

0:42:16.530 --> 0:42:17.910
<v S3>What the heck? Yeah, dumb.

0:42:17.910 --> 0:42:20.910
<v S2>Anyway, very small radius only. What's yours? Okay. Love that

0:42:20.910 --> 0:42:22.980
<v S2>for you. No, I love, I love, I love that

0:42:22.980 --> 0:42:25.020
<v S2>breath meditation so much. So I don't love that for you.

0:42:25.020 --> 0:42:27.300
<v S2>That's really startling and horrible. And I'm really sorry you

0:42:27.300 --> 0:42:30.060
<v S2>went through that. Mine's a book. It's called All Fours

0:42:30.090 --> 0:42:33.900
<v S2>by Miranda July. I have just absolutely loved reading it.

0:42:33.989 --> 0:42:36.660
<v S2>It is gorgeous. It's just such a nice read. Anyone

0:42:36.660 --> 0:42:38.730
<v S2>that's read it, a few people have because they people

0:42:38.730 --> 0:42:40.680
<v S2>reply to me on my stories when I shared it,

0:42:41.350 --> 0:42:45.190
<v S2>I can never feel I don't know how I feel

0:42:45.190 --> 0:42:48.580
<v S2>about inserting a tampon anymore. And if you if you know,

0:42:48.580 --> 0:42:49.540
<v S2>you know. Okay.

0:42:49.780 --> 0:42:50.560
<v S3>Oh, God.

0:42:50.590 --> 0:42:53.380
<v S2>It's. I just it's that. The only thing is, I

0:42:53.380 --> 0:42:55.060
<v S2>don't know how I'm going to feel. Okay.

0:42:55.900 --> 0:42:58.270
<v S3>Interesting. Because your period's coming up, so we'll see how

0:42:58.270 --> 0:42:58.600
<v S3>you go.

0:42:58.630 --> 0:43:01.240
<v S2>I know, um, but aside from that, it's a really,

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.870
<v S2>really beautiful read about a woman and her journey and

0:43:04.900 --> 0:43:09.489
<v S2>kind of rediscovering herself. So I highly recommend reading that. Amazing.

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:12.640
<v S3>Thanks, laws. Okay, well, that's it from us today, guys.
