But that is going 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: to be something that I miss. I went to Maria 42 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Shriver's seventieth birthday this weekend and it was a seventies 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: theme party, and I had just come from the Texas 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Book Fair. So it was perfect because I was like, oh, 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see that part of the Everyone's like, where's 46 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: your outfit? I'm like, I didn't know this was a 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: theme party. 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 5: Also, like, you don't really dress up, so even if you. 49 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 4: Did, that's exactly right. I'm not dressing up for theme parties. 50 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: I have to bring so many puppy and ski clothes 51 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: down to Antarctica. 52 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 4: Like, I don't have room for theme night activities. 53 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: No, ain't. Nobody got time for that. 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: So I do me and everyone else does that exactly. 55 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: And you'll probably be in bed with a book by 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: that anyway, so it's fine. 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, have you been to Antarctica before? 58 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 4: No, I have not, which is a weird question to ask. 59 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't think people go on multiple trips Antarctica. But 60 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: unless you're like an exit, you know, unless you're an explorer, 61 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: which you know. I'm a life explorer, but no, this 62 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: will be my first trip to Antarctica.

There 68 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 4: could be penetration in Antarctica. 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: Oh oh, oh my gosh, well that you're going to 70 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: study like LSD and psychedelics and then also the effects 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: of penetration in Antarcopica. 72 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: And we're going to be studying LSD and the effects 73 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: of psychedelics alongside penguins. 74 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 4: So who knows what could happen. 75 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: There's polar plunging, there's expeditions every day.

They're 313 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 5: very careful to put civility and connection above like, whereas 314 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 5: here in LA sometimes it feels a little like someone's 315 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 5: opinions become their identity, and therefore if you don't share 316 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 5: their values or their opinions in their mind, that you 317 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 5: therefore don't like them. There's not a sort of separation 318 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 5: between church and state, so to speak. And I find 319 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 5: that is like now, I just don't want to sort 320 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 5: of I just don't want to fight or have a 321 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 5: different opinion. I just want to connect with people. I 322 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 5: don't know whether it's like with ever I've been through 323 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 5: for the last two years, but I just want to 324 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 5: like feel like we're all just together in this, which 325 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 5: we are. 326 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we are all together in this. I agree with you. Yeah, 327 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean I'm even guilty of it myself listening to 328 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: you talk about it, because you know, I can, like, 329 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, if I hear somebody is you know, a 330 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: Trump support or something, I'm like, no, no, no, I 331 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: don't want anything to do with that. 332 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 4: I can't. 333 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: I need peace, like I need my own peace. But 334 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, it's nice to not 335 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: even have that be part of the conversation. 336 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, because yeah, and you don't really want to isolate 337 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 5: yourself and find yourself in a bubble where you're only 338 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 5: with light minded people. Only because then you create an 339 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: emotional bias where you only filter everything you hear or 340 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 5: read or see through the lens of this is already 341 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 5: my decided opinion. And as we know, the best thing 342 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: about having opinions is they're flexible and open to new information. 343 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 5: And so it's important to keep conversations going and not 344 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 5: just get off on your own little tangent and think 345 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 5: that you're right. You are always right. That's what I 346 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 5: love about you. You've never been wrong in any way. 347 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 5: I appreciate it. 348 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate you acknowledging that. 349 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 5: I've known it my whole life. Every time you say something, 350 00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 5: I'm like, yep, that's it. 351 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 6: Right. 352 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: The last time I saw you, I bumped into you 353 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: at Wimbledon. 354 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 355 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you were having a great time. 356 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: I had had. 357 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: So much fun tennis. I fucking love going to tennis. 358 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: I love day drinking, and I love socializing. Yes, and 359 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: I love that tennis is so civilized, you know what. 360 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 4: It's not like a. 361 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Rugby match or well, the golf that happened the Ryder 362 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: Cup was so embarrassing on America's behalf because people were screaming, noelling, 363 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: that's golf. 364 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 4: I don't watch golf. 365 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 5: But also there's something about I think it's a collective 366 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 5: silence of tennis, Like you're watching a game where there 367 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 5: are thousands of you watching and they're not saying, they're 368 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 5: not you can't even hear them breathe when the serve happens, 369 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 5: because they don't want to put off the player. And 370 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 5: that is just like as someone who's done like a 371 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 5: you know, a ton of theater when I was younger 372 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 5: and just like been on a stage and had to 373 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 5: like cry in a scene and had like crew talking 374 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 5: someone opening chips. It's like an amazing thing when you've 375 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 5: captured an audience and you just all are so respectful 376 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: that you're going to be just so quiet. The quiet 377 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 5: is just amazing, like communal energy. Everyone's focused in the same. 378 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: Place, especially Wimbledon, because there's a level of decorum that 379 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: supersedes like any of the other Grand Slams, because Wimbledon 380 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: is like a little stuffy, but I love that kind 381 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: of stuff. 382 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 4: It's not stuffy in a negative way. 383 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: No, it's fun. 384 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 5: It's like pompous and ritual. And although a ginger lady, 385 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: a middle aged ginger lady apparently fainted this Wimbledon. She 386 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 5: was in the overhead light of the sun and there 387 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 5: wasn't enough I guess water brought to her. And of 388 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 5: course everyone's text me like is it you were you 389 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 5: taken out? Oh? I know, I was in the VIP bitch. 390 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 5: I had a shade, a cannoby, a bull of my way. 391 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. I saw you get after those cannabies. 392 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: She was like, is that a cannape? And I went 393 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: after it. She was in a different sweet came to 394 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: see us in our suite or maybe we were in 395 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: the same suite fire apart too. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 396 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: I loved it. 397 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: I loved it. 398 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: How is your time in London? 399 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 5: Can I just go back to Cannapase? Love a CANape? 400 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 5: You know what? I'm not into the cheese and pineapple 401 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 5: skewer and triple layer dips. There's some things that just 402 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 5: should never be food combos that should never be enjoyed together. 403 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: And what Wimbledon does well if they don't mix flavors, 404 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 5: it's like a strawberry cream or it's like a cucumber 405 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 5: and bread. It's like, keep it simple, people. 406 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like pineapple with anything, like I don't 407 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: want pineapple mixed with hot food. No like no, no, no, no. 408 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 5: You just it's very different pineapple. No, that's cheese and 409 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 5: pineapple to skewer is a dry, cold, unpleasant, it's visually unattractive. 410 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 5: It's it's very different to a melty, gooey you know. 411 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 5: I don't know right now. I just want to say, she's. 412 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: Always right, She's right. 413 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 4: What are you cooking? 414 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: Do you cook?

Power as a mom? 428 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 4: Is I definitely as a mom? 429 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 5: I should say I definitely do not have a superpower? 430 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 7: You do? 431 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: All women are super have superpowers? And do your kids 432 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: call you mom or mom? 433 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 5: Momsy or mom mom yeah, or mom yeah, no, mummy 434 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 5: actually mummy, yeah. 435 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Mummy like British. 436 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, I think they is that British. I 437 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 5: think that's more Australian, is it, Well, I think it's 438 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 5: British and Australia. 439 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, because everyone in America it's mom. 440 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 5: Yeah. But what do you think I'm good at as 441 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 5: a mother? 442 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: What do you think your strengths as a mother are? 443 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 5: And it's really interesting the Ussex. Obviously, all I think 444 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 5: about the things that I regret when I go to 445 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 5: bed at night, that I wish i'd handle differently. I 446 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 5: think overall my strength is that I have tried very 447 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 5: much to reinforce anything they do, to sort of align 448 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 5: it with you must feel really good about how you 449 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 5: did this. You must be really proud of you. So 450 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 5: they're not searching for external validation. They don't need Mummy 451 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 5: likes my picture, therefore my picture is good. No, I'm 452 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 5: proud that I drew a picture, Therefore my picture is good. 453 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 5: I just try to sort of separate and create a 454 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 5: world in which that a they listen to the voice 455 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 5: of they have a beautiful relationship with themselves. 456 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 6: Right. 457 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 5: Maybe my goal not saying it's a superpower. And then 458 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: my other superpower is maybe like I'm really good at 459 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 5: like switching off, like pretending that I can't hear anything, 460 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 5: like just getting in the bath, like mam mad, I'm like, 461 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 5: I'm in the bath. And by the way, it's a 462 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: great technique because when they finally get to you, they've 463 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 5: resolved it. They've sorted out who has the TV remote, 464 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 5: they know where that apple juice is. They didn't need 465 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: me to jump out of the bus, scamper downstairs find 466 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: everything and a lot. You know, what you don't do 467 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 5: for your kids, they do for themselves. But Russia. 468 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: So when you were a little girl, did you envision 469 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: yourself having three children? 470 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 5: I always wanted kids. I was a nanny when I 471 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 5: was seventeen for a three week old baby, and I 472 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 5: used to babysit my niece's when I was about, you know, twelve, 473 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 5: and so I always love kids. I've always loved kids. 474 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 5: I just always think like it sounds affable. When you 475 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 5: get to my age, I feel like I've met so 476 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 5: many amazing people. And not to say that everybody's really similar, 477 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 5: but you kind of realize it's you can kind of 478 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 5: predict someone's nature almost right away after meeting them, or 479 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 5: at least what they're like. But a kid is like 480 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 5: it's like opening up a present. You have no idea 481 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 5: what's inside. They're just so original. They think in this 482 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 5: like totally unique, magical way. And I just love I 483 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 5: love their naivete and I love their kind of They 484 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 5: just say the truth. They I find children amazing. 485 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, her face is like no. 486 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: And I like to hear mothers talk about loving being 487 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: a mother. I think it's really important because and you 488 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: love their friends as well. 489 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 5: You have this like community of like become teenagers. You 490 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 5: don't just have yours. They come home with like four 491 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: looking at the ground. It's like it's amazing. 492 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: It's like, how do you handle social media with your kids? 493 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 5: I mean it's very difficult. That whole thing is just and. 494 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: That's something that I like just don't understand how parents 495 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: can even deal with. 496 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 5: I mean, we all know the statistics. There's nothing I 497 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 5: can say that it's original on that. And we all 498 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 5: know that the benefits, the caaalistic benefits that are being 499 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 5: made from targeting women and their body images, and how 500 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 5: the algorithms work and how they impact our self esteem, 501 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 5: and really what you can do is flag that. But 502 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 5: it's a fine line. If you isolate them completely, then 503 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 5: socially they're not necessarily in the same conversation as their mates, 504 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 5: and so then you're just basically creating a situation where 505 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 5: they can't really. I mean, they all have these platforms 506 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 5: where they arrange things and they meet up, but it's 507 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 5: terribly cruel, like you can see who your best friend is. 508 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: And I mean, I my personality would have not survived 509 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 5: social media as a kid. 510 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: Why do you handle social media as for yourself as 511 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: an adult in this industry? 512 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 5: I mean, my feelings do get hurt, Like I'll pop 513 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 5: on something and see everybody went somewhere and I wasn't there, 514 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 5: Or I do get a little bit of that, or 515 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 5: I see somebody and other actors out there doing something 516 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh my goodness, I haven't even showered yet. 517 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 5: It's three o'clock and someone's come out with a best 518 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 5: selling book and a like re brand and is now 519 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 5: like the ambassador for China. 520 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: Am I doing? 521 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 5: But I think ultimately you just got to just try 522 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 5: not to tune it out. I think just like at 523 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 5: the moment, there's just so much noise on that platform, 524 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 5: Like whoever has the most explosive opinion, whoever has the 525 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: most extreme hyperbole or uses the most like has the 526 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 5: like the wackiest opinion. It floats up, hits the top 527 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 5: of the algorithm and everyone sees it. So people are 528 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 5: motivated to be super loud about things that just like 529 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 5: we used to just like be chill over right now. 530 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 5: That makes me feel really like anxious, So I'm not 531 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 5: on it that much, to be honest. 532 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to taking the breaks from social media. 533 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 4: Are like you just your level of happiness is and. 534 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: Finally, immediately, exactly immediately, like I was with some girls 535 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: in Canada.

And instead of having like a flat reflection, 608 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: which is what a lot of men do, they kind 609 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: of just look at something and they're like, well, that's 610 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: brown and that's over there that I wouldn't think anything 611 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: more about it, And you're like, no, there's definitely more 612 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: to I mean, I know personally, like I can overcomplicate things, 613 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just for the sake of 614 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: kind of drama or conversation. But that's what being a 615 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: woman is. Yeah, sometimes it's having over complicating things. 616 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: It's kind of and no one. 617 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: Gets women like other women, So I totally you're not 618 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: the first person to come on here and say, yeah, 619 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: a lot of women feel that way and it's very 620 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: booying during difficult time. 621 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it's so it really is.

Like 626 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 5: sometimes you meet a new friend and they remember that 627 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 5: you have a new date work tomorrow, and they send 628 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: flowers and then they text you that it's one of 629 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 5: your kids birthday and you can just put the cabash 630 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 5: on it straight away and go, you can inundate me 631 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 5: with this amazing stuff.

And if you still want a friendship 634 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 5: with me, I'm here, but please don't be disillusioned.

Her parents, however, 720 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 2: being around them is absolutely brutal. They're socially awkward. We 721 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: have less than nothing in common, and trying to hold 722 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: a conversation with them is actual torture. The girls often 723 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: request plates on the weekend, which is usually fine if 724 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: it's a drop off situation, but some playdates involve a 725 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: lot of bopping around and going to the beach, so 726 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 2: I feel like I really should be there to help out. 727 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: They've offered to take the girl's solo, but I know 728 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 2: the extra hands and eyes would be appreciated. My daughter's 729 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: friend also deals with anxiety, so I can't take the 730 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: girl solo myself, which would be way more fun because 731 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: she likes a parent to be close. I know this 732 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 2: sounds shitty, but you don't understand the gravity of their brutalness. 733 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: The girls have been friends for four years, and believe me, 734 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 2: I have tried. So should I just microtius mushrooms and 735 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 2: go on the plates? Should I let them take the 736 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: girls solo? 737 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 5: Ps? I love you and social mom. 738 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 6: I do. 739 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: This is another reason to not have children to deal 740 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: with other mothers. I mean, seriously, I don't know as 741 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: a mother, what would you What do you say to that? 742 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 5: Isila, I think nine's really old to be going on 743 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 5: a play date for an extra set of hands. I'm sorry, mom, 744 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 5: but like, you're not changing a diaper unless there's a 745 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 5: food allergy, unless there's a body of water, which the 746 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 5: beach sounds shady, But like, I'm pretty certain your daughter 747 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 5: can advocate for her self that if there's an issue, 748 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 5: she'll not want to go on the playdate again. I'd 749 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 5: be like, goodbye, goodbye, have a cocktail and stay home. 750 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, listen, if those people are probably 751 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: feeling the same exact way that you're feeling, if the 752 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: interaction is that awkward, yeah, that they're gonna be to welcome. 753 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: They're gonna be yeah, welcoming your absence. 754 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 5: YEA. 755 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: So like if it's not a match. It's not a match. 756 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 4: Don't push it. 757 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 1: And if they're friends, like that friendship is enough. That 758 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: friendship probably provides enough to that family. They're happy their 759 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: daughter has a friendship that she wants to spend time 760 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: with them. And if they're willing to take them to 761 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: these places, great, then do that. And if she has 762 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: anxiety and can't go with you, even more of a 763 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: is that they should be taking them place. 764 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 5: And also the daughter that's modeling not having anxiety and 765 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 5: having no issue with separation from her parents, there's a 766 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 5: great example on the daughter with anxiety. So you really 767 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 5: want to continue that because eventually they're headed in the 768 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 5: same direction that other shy goal will come out of 769 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 5: her shell and want to play date solo soon. 770 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and also nine is too old to like why. 771 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 5: Are you a girl?

The kiddos aside, you can keep sending them 894 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: gifts and hopefully maintain some sort of relationship with them, 895 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: although that's all you can really do without, you know, 896 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 1: going and exposing yourself to that family.

But just take 927 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: the absence of her in your life as a sign 928 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: that the universe is protecting you from being involved with her, 929 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: because it sounds like you've had some painful experiences with her. 930 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,959 Speaker 4: Wouldn't you agree, Isila? 931 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: When somebody like somebody wrongs you, you know, whether it's 932 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: a family member or someone you don't know well or 933 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: a really good friend, and they don't get your ire, 934 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: they don't get it because it's not worth it, and 935 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: I've already proven themselves that they haven't earned it. So 936 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: I would just write that down and write down your 937 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 1: feelings around it, and keep it somewhere close so you 938 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: can check in with yourself and remind yourself of the 939 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: reasons why you're better off not having her in your 940 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: life in that way.

One sister in law has 1063 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 2: three kids eleven and under her style of parenting is 1064 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: well non existent. It's making the family get together as 1065 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 2: completely miserable, to the point where I don't want to 1066 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 2: even attend family parties, or if I do attend, it's 1067 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 2: making me want to drink heavily, and I'm trying to 1068 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 2: cut back these days. 1069 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 5: But that's a whole other issue.

Anger issues possible ADHD. The problem is 1073 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 2: these issues are not being diagnosed, so it's not being 1074 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 2: addressed properly. 1075 00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 5: Then there's the nurture side of it. 1076 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 2: Kids are totally fairal I'll admit I micromanage my kids 1077 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 2: and I'm working on stepping back some.

They when you have these trips, 1147 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: it's only twice a year, ye to mention. So if 1148 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: they can't follow those rules, then they don't shouldn't come. 1149 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: And if you guys are all, if you guys are 1150 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: all on the same page, you just make sure there's 1151 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: a list of things. You don't even have to direct 1152 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 1: it towards them. You should say before the vacation, here 1153 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: are the list of behaviors that we're not willing to 1154 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 1: put up with. This is These are the new rules 1155 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 1: moving forward as combined families. However, many children are you 1156 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: guys have together, which is how many. 1157 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 6: In the immediate family? Probably nine kids? 1158 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: Great? Perfect reason, yeah, perfect reason to make a list. 1159 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: And these are the acceptable behaviors. If and when anything 1160 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 1: outside of this happens, you won't be invited back. And 1161 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: if you don't think you can, and it's not directed 1162 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: at them, this is to all of you. You know, 1163 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 1: somebody puts the letter out and this is to all 1164 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 1: of you guys, so that they're not being targeted because 1165 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: it's not cool. It's really not your place to tell 1166 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: somebody else how to parent, you know what I mean, 1167 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 1: It really isn't it's not helpful. But if there's a 1168 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 1: set of rules that aren't being followed, then they can 1169 00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: choose to not participate, you know, And and then you 1170 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 1: have a reason to call them out. If they do 1171 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,439 Speaker 1: choose to come and break those rules and their kids 1172 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,879 Speaker 1: are one of them's running around with an aluminum bat, 1173 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 1: then you have every right to go whoa, whoa, whoa. 1174 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 1: We just saw what's going to be acceptable behavior and 1175 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,239 Speaker 1: what's not going to be acceptable behavior. But you have 1176 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: to get everybody on the same page and all the 1177 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: other families, or your other option is for you to 1178 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 1: opt out of that vacation and not go. 1179 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's funny. In your books you've mentioned the 1180 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 6: ground rules for your vacations and stuff. That is a 1181 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:36,880 Speaker 6: good idea. 1182 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, exact, I was going to refer you to my 1183 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,879 Speaker 1: last book. I wrote a bud letter to my whole 1184 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: family with every these are the reason. 1185 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 5: I'm doing this is the greatest thing I've ever heard. 1186 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: I'll send you the letter. You don't even have to 1187 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 1: write one. You can just copy and paste mine. It's perfect. 1188 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: I mean, people send it to me all this tell 1189 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: tell me all the time, they send it to the families. 1190 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: But it's true. Like I stopped going on vacation with 1191 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: my family members who didn't want to bide by those rules, 1192 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: then I'm not I'm not paying for your vacation. Then 1193 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 1: I'll go on vacation with my own friends. I don't 1194 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: want to go on vacation with fucking children anyway. 1195 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 4: You know, what do you think you're doing here? 1196 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: Like, seriously, I wanted kids to drink my alcohol. Then yeah, 1197 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 1: if you're running a fucking campsite, I mean, honestly, but 1198 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 1: I think you should try that first, try to get 1199 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,400 Speaker 1: everyone on board, just as more of a general set 1200 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: of rules for everyone, for all of your kids, that 1201 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: it's acceptable to intervene if there's going to be violence, 1202 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: or if there's danger or if somebody you know, like 1203 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: we want to have each other's backs within this like 1204 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 1: small community family that we have. It's only twice a year. 1205 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: It's not hard to follow rules twice a year. And 1206 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: see if that makes a difference. 1207 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, that sounds good. 1208 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,439 Speaker 2: I do want to nitpick about one little thing here too, 1209 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 2: because in your letter you refer a lot to the 1210 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 2: sister in law. But assuming that both parents are in 1211 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 2: the picture, correct, they have a dad too, and so 1212 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 2: make sure that these rules are not just directed to 1213 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 2: the moms that they are. 1214 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,800 Speaker 5: Both parents are included and blamed. 1215 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 6: Right, are both so unaware? And Yeah, it's insane how 1216 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 6: much they don't pay attention. I think they'd be like, 1217 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 6: what are you guys talking about? If anyone said anything. 1218 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and just remember, like the thing that people don't 1219 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: listen to is when they're judged. When you tell somebody this, 1220 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: I can't believe you did this. This isn't how you 1221 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: do it. I'm you know. That doesn't help anybody blossom. 1222 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: It's when you share that helps people. You know, when 1223 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: you share this is oh, this is I've you almost 1224 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: like want to put the problem back on yourself, like 1225 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: you're dealing it with your children, which is fictional. That 1226 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like what's what's happening, but it's almost like 1227 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 1: you want a position it that way, Like I don't 1228 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: want my kids to be out of control when they're 1229 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,320 Speaker 1: around all of their friends. I want them to have manners. 1230 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 1: I want them to look every adult in the eye. 1231 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 1: I want them to say please and thank you, like 1232 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: you're you have a set of rules for your family, 1233 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: and that that's a great set of rules for a 1234 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 1: group trip. 1235 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 4: It's not about. 1236 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: Shaming them or saying, you know how how they're not 1237 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: paying attention, how unaware they are. It's more about how 1238 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: you want to lift the standards up for your own family. 1239 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:01,839 Speaker 5: Oh I love that. 1240 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, those are all good approach ideas. 1241 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, get on that and see what happens. 1242 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:08,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll get a different result. 1243 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 6: Well that sounds good. I appreciate it. 1244 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 4: Okay, wonderful. 1245 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 1: Thanks for calling out. 1246 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 6: Kellykay, Thanks everyone. 1247 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 1: Bye bye Eyler. How did you and your brothers come 1248 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 1: up with that. Did you guys agree that you were 1249 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,320 Speaker 1: going to be able to parent your own children? 1250 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 5: No, we just sort of, I think because it was staggered, 1251 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 5: people gave birth at different times and so just because 1252 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 5: it's practical too. And the sisters in law are really 1253 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,440 Speaker 5: cool and there's not many egos in my family, so like, 1254 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 5: no one's going to care and how dare you and 1255 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,919 Speaker 5: say that? I don't know, like we're all pretty chill. 1256 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 5: That's nice, yeah, yeah, but I have to say, like 1257 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 5: we do let our kids misbehave, like we're not like 1258 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 5: a French family. If you can't, you would definitely not 1259 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 5: want us on holiday with you. 1260 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: But maybe I would, and maybe I would. At least 1261 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 1: that would at least be real and in my face, 1262 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Not somebody likes she's stealing 1263 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 1: alcohol and then shoving it under a rental house, you know, 1264 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: like empty bottles of beer under a rental house that 1265 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, are you kidding me? No respect for other 1266 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: people's property. I mean that was many years ago, by 1267 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 1: the way, so that's not fair to say.
