1 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha and welcome to steff 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: I never told you protection iHeartRadio, and welcome to another 3 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: episode of Monday Mini. I will say this is kind 4 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: of a surprise Monday MANI because I had another topic 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: planned and it did not work out. You will hear 6 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: about it in an upcoming episode because it was just 7 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: it needed a whole episode. So this kind of came 8 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: late to me in the day yesterday as we're recording this, 9 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: and it's about I had to make a phone call listeners, 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: and if you know me, I hate talking on the phone. 11 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I once said I would rather punch you, punch me 12 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: in the face than call me on the phone. I 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: hate it. I think the very worst thing has happened. 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: I cannot hear you. I am awkward. I do not 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: like it. So I had to talk on the phone 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: the other day. On top of this, I've been trying 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: to reach my mom and I haven't been able to 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: do it. But she's one of the few people I 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: do talk on the phone with. And as I was 20 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: calling her, I remembered kind of this teasing she got 21 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: when I was growing up that she talked on the 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: phone way too much. She always was on the phone, 23 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: Like there's a popular story in my family where my 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: little brother once cut the phone cord because he was 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: so frustrated that she wasn't paying attention to him. And 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: it got me thinking about this trope about how women 27 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: talk too much, like they're always that they talk way 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: more than men. In this case, I was thinking specifically 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: about the phone. But I found some research on this. 30 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: But I will say this is going to be a brief, 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: broad explanation and it's more Western orient so keep that 32 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: in mind, so that there is probably a lot more 33 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: we could say about this. But in terms of me 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: just trying to understand this stereotype that was used to 35 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: kind of tease my mom, this is what I found. 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: So yeah, I found this history of like the trope 37 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: of why people think women talk too much are that 38 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: they talk more than men. We have done episodes on 39 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: women typically being the more social sex, like having more friends, 40 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: maintaining more relationships, and the societal reasons why that is. Like, 41 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: if you remember in our Emotional Labor episode, we talked 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: about how often in heterosexual heteronormative relationships, the woman is 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: the one who keeps the contact with the fam the 44 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: man's family up, like she's doing it for her family 45 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: and his family, So there are reasons why that might be. 46 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: But I was just kind of curious about this because 47 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: I've heard her side of it, and her side of 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: it was always that it was men she was talking 49 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: to and that she's being very polite with who did 50 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: not pick up on her mini cues that the conversation 51 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: was over, so she was like being nice and they 52 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: just kept going. And that reminded me of several instances 53 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: my life that I've talked about on the show, especially 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: in a dating situation, where you're like, I have not 55 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: said a word this whole time, and I would like 56 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: to leave, please. I could put a card cut out 57 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: here and you'd be just as well off. You would 58 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: not notice I was gone, and I could be doing 59 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: something else. So I just started I started thinking about it. 60 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: And that's not to say she doesn't have like conversations 61 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: and sometimes the long conversations with women in her life, 62 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: but she's actually pretty good. And sometimes I feel like 63 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: this is my fault because I'm always so busy and 64 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: that's sort of a thing that doesn't make me feel great. 65 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: But she's pretty good at being like, Okay, this we're done, 66 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, when this conversation has gone on, I have 67 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: to do stuff. You have to do stuff. That's how 68 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: she is with me, and I've heard her like that 69 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: with her sisters, her female friends. So I was just 70 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: sort of thinking about this, and especially in terms of 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: like kind of that very heteronormative joke of like the 72 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: husband being annoyed at his wife because they're late because 73 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: she was on the phone, or or makeup and hair 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. But like, she was on 75 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: the phone, but at least in my experience, in this 76 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: particular thing that I'm thinking of, it was the men 77 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: who were talking that were keeping my mom and making 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,559 Speaker 1: her late. So okay. The trope has a very long history. 79 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: There are multiple proverbs about it. A woman's tongue wags 80 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: like a lance hill never still, many women, many words, 81 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: a whole doll named chatty Cathy, which I used to 82 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: get called that all the time. And I feel like 83 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really Sometimes sometimes I talked a lot, but 84 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: I feel like in general I really did droughout history. 85 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: A lot of literature paints strong men as quote silent 86 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: types who settle things with their fists, and women who 87 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: use their words as weapons. There has been an important 88 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: historical difference in the Western depiction of gendered talking. So 89 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: it's that men talk about quote, important stuff, women talk 90 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: about frivolous stuff. And this goes back to philosophers of 91 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: ancient Greek and Roman times. Aristotle once suggested that women 92 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: are liars and complainers, and women in general were just 93 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: painted as weaker speakers, like they didn't really know what 94 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: they were saying. A famous Greek writer claimed that women 95 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: should essentially stay silent outside of the home. At the time, 96 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: it was largely believed that only men should engage in 97 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: public speaking virtuous Women were not supposed to be involved 98 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: in anything public. They were supposed to be focused on 99 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: the domestic. So that's the thought, that's how it went. 100 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: It was considered unfeminine to be vocal, especially in regards 101 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: to men. Don't ever speak your mind to men. That's 102 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: sort of the thing. I even found something that sort 103 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: of traced it back to Adam and even being like 104 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: one she was foolish and look what we got because 105 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: of her. But also kind of that's a ductress, like 106 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: she could bewitch you or something with her voice, So 107 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: that's at play as well. In religious documents out of 108 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: the twelfth and thirteenth centuries spoke of women's false tongues. 109 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: Some historians speculate that this is when we got the 110 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: phrase old wives tale. Actually, oh so, in wake of 111 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: all of the death of the Black plague in Europe, 112 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: there was so much turmoil and women were often some 113 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: of the loudest voices about injustice and inequality and all that, 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: and they were viewed as dangerous and threatening to the 115 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: status quo, especially when a lot more of society ran 116 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: on orally based arguments. So it was seen as very 117 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: dangerous that they were speaking out. And pre Internet, this 118 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: gossip was the Internet. That's how people like shared what 119 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: was going on, and the powers that be wanted to 120 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: crack down on what they called the sins of the tongue. 121 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: Women were the majority of those prosecuted for defamation and 122 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: quote scolding at the time. Most historical depictions of scolds 123 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: are women. Just the use of the word gossip parkens 124 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: back to the idea that women's talk is frivolous and 125 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: it's unimportant, like how we view it today. When you 126 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: use the word gossip, it's often got that connotation. At 127 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: one time, that word meant godparent, which was generally used 128 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: for folks at a christening. However, as time passed it 129 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: pretty much came to just refer to women at such 130 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: an event, and then after more time passed, it was 131 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: associated with women talking frivolously once again. During the eighteenth 132 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: and nineteenth centuries, quiet modest women were prized. That was 133 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: like an admirable trait. When they did speak, they had 134 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: very high expectations to meet. Their orders had to be 135 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: measured and calculated. A quiet respectful to a woman was desired, 136 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: allow trill woman was not. And I know immediately your 137 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: feminist bills are probably ringing because that word trill has 138 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: been used so many times against feminism, and that does 139 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: bring us to modern day comparisons because we are still 140 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: feeling this to this day. It's in how we police 141 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: and judge women's voices, how much we talk. Classroom studies 142 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: have found boys take up a majority of speaking time. 143 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: Boys were also called on more frequently, but the teachers 144 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: largely reported the girls were taking up more time, even 145 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: though that wasn't true. Yes, the boys were also more 146 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: likely to interrupt the girls, which we've talked about before. 147 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: Studies into the professional world have suggested that this rewards 148 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: men for speaking but punishes women for speaking, So of 149 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: course they aren't going to voice their ideas, concerns, what 150 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: have you as much if that's the case. So men 151 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: speaking up, you get lauded, you get promoted. Women speaking up, 152 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: you get jazzed, you get ignored. These again, this is 153 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: a very broad stroke. There's a lot of nuances here, 154 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: but I just thought this was interesting because I was 155 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: just thinking of like my mom getting teased about talking 156 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: too much on the phone. But it is true because 157 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: it was sort of the implication was she was like 158 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: wasting time and doing something frivolous, you know what I mean. 159 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Like it was very like she's on the phone again. 160 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: And when women do speak up in traditionally male spaces, 161 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I think that it is going to get noticed more 162 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: or not because of the substance of it, unfortunately, but 163 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: because it's quote different because it has been traditionally a 164 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: male dominated space. So if you think about a lot 165 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: of the things we talked about on here before, about 166 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: just our experience being on a podcast and using our voices, 167 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: there's so much like concern about women in vocal fry. 168 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: Never mind the men do it too, about women, not 169 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: being trustworthy, not knowing what they're talking about, not being credible, 170 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: using speech modifiers, like like all of these things to 171 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: judge and dismiss what a woman is saying. And yet 172 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: the stereotype is that we can't stop talking. I also think, 173 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: going back to this whole thing on the phone, it 174 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: makes sense to me that women who were largely expected 175 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: to stay at home and clean and take care of 176 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: your kids and cook all of these pretty isolating things 177 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: that you'd want to talk to people on the phone. 178 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: And this was before the internet, so it was also 179 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: a way to get advice. We talked about that in 180 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: our episode about Betty Crocker, Like you couldn't just go 181 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: online and be like, hey, I need a recipe for this, 182 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: and I don't have what's in the book that maybe 183 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: you had or or whatever. People would call the people 184 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: or they would listening to Ready got her on the 185 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: radio in this case. But that just makes sense to me. 186 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: And it also like you didn't have a cell phone, 187 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: you weren't texting, right, It's like this was how you 188 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: did it right. 189 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: And oftentimes they're isolated, so they're just trying to find companionship. 190 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: Of course, like if they were expected to be a 191 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: stay at home mom and they had just kids like 192 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: to talk to, and they were and then they weren't. 193 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: Like the subdivisions now so I'm sure, but like not 194 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: to this level. I'm wondering half of them being like, oh, 195 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: this is companionship or trying to find like talk to 196 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 2: my mom because I miss her like stuff like that, 197 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: which is completely normal as where opposed to at that 198 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: point in time, if the men were going to work, 199 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: they had plenty of people to talk to, too many 200 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: people to talk to you, sure, sure, sure, But then 201 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: she would also be excited that men came home. And 202 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: if they are good partners, she wants to talk to 203 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: you about your day, why would that be a bad thing. 204 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: But it has become this whole trivial thing instead of 205 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 2: being like, this is called communication and it's good. 206 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: Right, And it just frustrates me because I feel that 207 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: so many times that trope has been the very tired 208 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: trope of like the man going to work and complaining 209 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: about his wife. And one of the things he complains 210 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: about is, oh, she's always on the phone. But she 211 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: couldn't have a job back there. I couldn't like have 212 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: a line of credit she was supposed to stay home. Yeah, 213 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: it's back on the phone, right. It's just yeah, it 214 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: annoys me. Even as a kid, I always was kind 215 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: of like, I don't I don't get this, I don't 216 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: like this, I don't understand. Yeah, and I do think 217 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: this is a way bigger conversation. But we've talked about 218 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: in a bunch of other episodes, surprisingly including our true 219 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: crime episodes and episodes about horror movies. But when it 220 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: comes to stuff like gossip that's like like it or not, 221 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: that can help inform you of what's going on and 222 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: what not to do in heavy quotes, like what people 223 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: are talking about. There is a use in gossip. Can 224 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: it be detrimental, can it be terrible? Yes, but there's 225 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: a reason people do it, and a lot of astitude 226 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: with learning from how other people in situations have been 227 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: judged and treated. So yeah, again, this could be There's 228 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: a lot more here, but this is a quick primer 229 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: on what I found about this trope. So we'll probably 230 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: revisit one day, but in the meantime, listeners, let us 231 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: know if you have any thoughts on this or any 232 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: experiences about this. Again, this is pretty kind of Western 233 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: American oriented, but if it's different in other countries, please 234 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: let us know.
