WEBVTT - Ask Uncut - Do You *Self-Pleasure* At Work? 🙈

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Life on Cut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>lands were never seated.

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 2>We pay our respects to their elders past and present.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode was

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 3>recorded on gadigal Land. Hi, guys, and welcome back to

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 3>another episode.

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Of Life Uncut. I'm Laura, I'm Kisha, and you are

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>particularly chirpy right now for someone who's not very medical.

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 2>We've been away very caffeinated medicaid. I'm not medicated at all,

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>but I am.

0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I am caffeinated, and I am going to go into

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 3>my second coffee and I'm okay with that. It's because

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>we've been up since like five fucking thirty in the morning.

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 3>We've had one interview before this, and now we've back

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 3>to back in today.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I don't want to bread crumb everyone, but

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>that might be one of my favorite interviews ever.

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>That is a bread crumb was Johan Hari. He's great,

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>We love him.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's all about diet drugs, so drugs like his zmpig.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>It's coming out very soon.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 3>We've been wanting to do an episode on ozebic for

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:04.919
<v Speaker 3>a very long time. It's been the top of my list,

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>but finding someone to talk about it who's not promoting it,

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 3>and also doing it in a way that is sensitive

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>to everything that we've spoken about in the past in

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 3>terms of fat shaming and the body positivity movement. It's

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 3>like almost like, how do you have those two conversations

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, which is why we found your

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 3>hunt because he is amazing and he can do everything,

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and that is coming up very soon. But today is

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 3>ask gun cut where we answer, oh, you're deep, you're dark,

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and you're burning questions and Keisha, I have a question

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 3>for you.

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I know you're not a mum, but I would like

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 3>to know how you would respond in this situation. So

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 3>yesterday I was getting Malee ready to get in the

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>bath and she goes, hey, I know what the F

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 3>word is.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, for anyone who doesn't know, Maley is four.

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 3>She's four years old and she goes to preschool. She goes,

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>I know what the F word is? And I was like, oh,

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 3>do you and she's like yeah, and the H word

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, what's the hate. I'm still I'm

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 3>not sure about that. Anyway, I was like, what's the

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>F word? And she goes, fucking and I was like,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, what and she goes, it's fucking and I

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 3>was like, I mean you could have just said fuck,

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 3>but sure it is.

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It is also fucking. And I was like, how did

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you know this? And she goes and it's also fuck

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>and I was like.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, please stop saying. Her sister was in the bath

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 3>next to her, like the two year old, and I

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>don't give a fuck. Yeah, she had it all. She

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 3>was like, here's the plural, here's all of the ways

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>in which you can say the word fuck.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of impressed by that. No I'm not.

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I am absolutely not. And I was like Marley, and

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 3>she goes, yeah, so you're not allowed to say it,

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>but this is it. She kept saying it and saying

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 3>it and saying it, and I was like, Maley, you

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 3>need to stop saying that word now. It is very

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>very naughty. Come with me, we're going to go out

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 3>of the room. And she just kept saying it in front.

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Of Lawla and Lala was like, what's that word anyway?

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 3>So I take her out of the bathroom and I

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 3>sit her down and I was like, you're not in trouble,

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 3>but it is a very very naughty word. I'm glad

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 3>that you told me that you know how to say it.

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 3>I was like, but could you talk to me about why,

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, because we don't. We don't swear around her

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 3>as much as I swear so much. You guys probably

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>like what, we really try not to swear around her

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 3>at all?

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Because it was such upstanding parents.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Who taught you this word, so that I can crucify it,

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like, is it anakeisha? Probably she is a

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 3>smutty talker, so anyway, I asked her and she was like, oh,

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 3>this boy at school and she said his name who?

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 3>She has said anytime the teachers aren't watching or listening,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 3>he will say swear words, but also says it to

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>other kids and more. Is just like trying to exercise

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>his right to use a word that he's obviously being told.

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>He can't use.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I want to tell that little kid that he

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>can go get fucked. He's not telling Maley the fuck off.

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>He's not telling her that he doesn't fucking like her.

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Who is he? I'm coming to daycare.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you the name when we're not on record.

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 3>This sounds stupid now that I'm saying it out loud.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, Okay, it's so obvious. But I was like,

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 3>do I call the daycare and dob on this four

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 3>year old?

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Do I do it? Is that what we do?

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Do I tell the daycare that this four year old

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>is doing this? Is it like?

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Or am I being an over Am I being a

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 3>helicopter parent? Or is that a situation where you're like, look,

0:03:58.440 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 3>the teacher should know.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in a really quite a conservative environment,

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think there's a lot to making something a

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>forbidden fruit human nature. Is it just makes you want

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it more, Like you're making a big deal out of it,

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and so they're just gonna do it more.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>That's my thing.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, is it making it a bigger problem

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 3>by singling him out and being like he is so naughty?

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean his four he's just got bigger brothers. He

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 3>doesn't know how naughty it is.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean I can't speak from any lived experience whatsoever,

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not responsible for young children, But through my

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>own experience, I think if I was in this situation,

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I would eer on the side of like trying not

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to even speak about it and make it something that's

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>super forbidden because like it's gonna happen at some point anyway.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're just gonna go to school.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Soon, like it's going to be spoken about. People are

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna say it. And I think that in my experience

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>because there was such an emphasis on swearing and you know,

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>using the law's name in Vain and all these different things,

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>all these different rules in my household.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Swearing and also using the lord's and again we're all together,

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>all in compass. I've got Marley like fuck it, and

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 3>you're like, blasphemy, stop stop it.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't allowed to say, Oh my gosh, okay, but

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 2>did it?

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>This is what I mean it was, So I've made

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>It's something that I am now kind of thinking maybe

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>if it wasn't something that was so forbidden, I wouldn't

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>have been so inclined to like think about it in

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.679
<v Speaker 1>a cheeky way. So I don't know, Okay, it's hard

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>to say, because I guess every kid's different.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm really on the fence with this. Hopefully by the

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 3>time you guys listen to this, slide into my DMS,

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 3>tell me what you think. I kind of want to

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 3>call the daycare and be like, hey, just keep an

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>ear to the ground. I kind of want to say

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 3>something only because I'm like, well, if she has come

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 3>to me and she's told me this information as a parent,

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 3>am I supposed to do something with it? So she

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 3>feels like she's listened to And I don't know, There's

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 3>so many ways you can mess your kids up. I'm

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.119
<v Speaker 3>just like, I'm trying to do with the least amount

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 3>of damage as possible.

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>Therapy is going to be very expensive. One day, I

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>think it could be a bit of a carot by calling.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>There could be a secret option ce and it could

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>be that when you pick her up from dayk you

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>could maybe mention it to one of your favorite teachers

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and just be like, look, I just want to let

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you know that this happened.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't necessarily want you to do anything about it.

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just making you aware and you guys can make

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>your own decision on where you stand on it. But

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>this kind of feels to me right now like Britt

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>rousing on us because.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>One time, one time, it was our first ever.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 3>If you guys have watched the YouTube, the very first

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 3>time Kisha and I ever did an episode together was

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Britt was away because she I think she was doing

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 3>fertility stuff at the time, and she made Scotland. Okay,

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 3>she was in Scotland. We had issues with the Cross

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Continent record. For everyone who's always like, why doesn't Bridges

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>move to Scotland and you guys can record from there.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>We've tried. It really doesn't work, that's the problem.

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, we couldn't do this record one day the internet

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 3>wasn't working. Keisha had to step in. There was a

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 3>lot of swearing at the start of the episode. It

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 3>was very funny though it.

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Was a bit unhinged, but also it was one of

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>those things where we kind of thought it was going

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to be where we stopped down and like reset and

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>start the We were like, fine, this is actually really funny,

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and so we just left it and I thought it

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>was fine.

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, yes, there's a lot of swearing. One

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 2>particular weather that came out of my mouth. Probably it

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the effort.

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it was. I thought the juice was

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>worth the squeeze. And Britt reviewed that YouTube and she

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, guys, this was crash as anything.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 3>We're like sorry, maule I was like, fuck off.

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Fine. She did call us to tell us it was

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of like calling the daycare anyway. Now, you know,

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 2>we got roused on by my boss.

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>But you're equal, and so now you have to make

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the decision as to whether you're going to be the

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>brit in this situation or whether you're going to be

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the US.

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'll make Matt be the brit that seems like

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 3>a better solution. Better solution, I will make Matt call

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 3>daycare and that I can pretend like I'm above this anyway.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I'd love to know what you guys, if there's any

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 3>parents out there who have had to deal with this

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 3>type of thing. We are all just kind of making

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 3>our way through. I don't know what I'm doing as

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a parent. I'm trying really hard, and I'm maybe doing

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 3>okay ninety percent of the time and the other ten percent.

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think you're doing way better than ninety percent

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>of the time. You have beautiful little girls who are

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>really polite and they've got gorgeous mind.

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I actually love your.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Children, and I'm not like that with everyone's I'm like

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that with my own nephews and your kids, and.

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty much it. That's a real compliment.

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>We did have a bit of a go at me

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>last night, A go is a bit harsh, But you

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>mentioned to me while I was on the phone that I.

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Was on loudspeaker and I was swearing to him.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I'm pretty sure it's this kid at daycare

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 3>and also Ani Keisha, that are the real culpras for

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>my children's potty mouth. Anyway, we have some actually, we

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.560
<v Speaker 3>have such a good breadth of questions today. One of

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 3>them actually featured on the Facebook page and it got

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 3>you guys so riled up, and so we really wanted

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.719
<v Speaker 3>to do a deep dive on that on the episode

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.680
<v Speaker 3>that's coming up. But first it's time for vibes and unsubscribes. Keisha,

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 3>what is your vibe or unsubscribe for the week.

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I already posted about my unsubscrib We spoke

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>about it on Tuesday.

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna mention it.

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 3>You can't speak about the unsubscribed because it's also my vibe,

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>So stop shitting on her.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, we'll get into that.

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I have an actual vibe this week, and I'm back

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>into the luxuries of sleep.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I want to make this really clear before I

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 2>talk about it.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I love Lynn and have been a sponsor of the

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>podcast before, but they weren't at all involved in this,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>like what as a normal customer. So I initially saw

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>this recommended on Kelly Finlayson, who I've had on the

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>podcast before, on her Instagram account. So it's a mattress topper.

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>This one is called Hotel Cloud Collection. It is the softest,

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>most comfortable. It feels like a hug from within mattress topper.

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>It is delightful.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.319
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was made of feathers, and to be honest,

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't look what it was made of before I

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>purchased it. I just went that looks really comfort. It

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>was recommended on her Instagram. Apparently heaps people wrote in

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>to her about it.

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get one. It looks great.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I purchased while it was on sale, so I got

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>it for two fifty nine, which is currently what the

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>price is if you go onto the website. And I

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>just assumed, oh my gosh, these feathers are so cozy.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Turns out no, it's actually vegan. It's some microfiber filling

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 1>that feels like feathers and silk.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>And I actually can guarantee you no ducks were killed

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 2>for this, No chickens were plucked.

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>It is so comfortable. It has been the greatest joy

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>of my last week. And I vibe the heck out

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>of it.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>What is the what's the brand? Evan? I love linen.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I love linen. And it's a mattress topper. Yeah, so

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 2>you know the things that you put like a if

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you have a not a mattress topper.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 3>Is you're gonna go into the detail of explaining it.

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 3>That thing that you top on a mattress, it goes under.

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Your fit sheet, has a strap goes on, So it's

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of a It's a couple inches thick, and it

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>seems to be in these little squares of what I

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>assumed to a feathers turns out not feathers, but that's

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>what it feels like. And so as you lay into it,

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>it just feels as though it's giving you this like

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>little cloud cuddle.

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>And it's so I am enjoying that we're back in

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 3>the sleep hygiene era.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I've had really bad sleep lately.

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 3>It's a very sleep Hygiene's like a real twenty twenty thing,

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 3>isn't it if the elixir of life? Laura, It's like

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 3>I spars and sleep hygiene and I don't know what

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 3>are the rest of it used to be infrared saunas

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 3>like these are it.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Firstly, it's free micro dosing, like it's all the same.

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, we're not gonna get to get into micro

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>dosing anyway.

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 2>It is my vibe for the week. I love it.

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 2>If you're in the market for a mattress topper, highly recommend. Okay,

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I have two recommendations this week.

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 3>One of them is something that I've actually had for

0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 3>a while, but I discovered a feature about it which

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 3>has made me love it so much more. So. I

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 3>have two Koala couches, you know, Cooala mattresses, so coal mattresses.

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 3>I've never had one, but every influencer under the sun

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 3>talks about Coala mattresses. I'm sure they're great, and I'm

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 3>sure they're also getting paid to say so. I am

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>not getting paid to say that their couches are great,

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.079
<v Speaker 3>just putting that out there. So I have their fold

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 3>out couch, which is like like.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 2>A sofa bed fold out that goes in our spare room.

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 3>But then I also have like their couch couch, but

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 3>like a three and a half seater big couch in

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 3>our lound room. The fold out one is super practical.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 3>It's really really convenient. It's a bit too hard, needs

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 3>a good topper, so that's great. You could get it

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 3>too far. That's my review on that. But the actual

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 3>big couch that we have in our lound room is

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 3>fucking fantastic. And the reason why I'm recommending it is

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 3>because only this weekend I discovered because it doesn't you know, normally,

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 3>when you can remove the covers of a couch, it

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.319
<v Speaker 3>looks like a couch that you can remove the covers of.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 3>The covers never quite fit well on it. It looks

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 3>as though it's a bit ill fitting. All the covers

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 3>are always a little bit too big for the couch itself.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 3>So I never ever realized that you could remove the

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 3>couch covers of this Koala couch and chuck them straight

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 3>in the washing machine until I dropped an entire glass

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 3>of red wine on it on Sunday night, and then

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, well, that's the that's the couch gone. Anyway,

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Matt was like, I wonder if you can take these

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 3>off lo and behold the couch covers come off. They

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 3>went in the machine and the couch looks brand new.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So if you've been considering a.

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Koala Couch high highly highly highly recommend and then my

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 3>last and very quick recommendation, which I know we spoke

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>about it at the very end of yesterday's episode, sorry,

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday's episode, but that is Baby Reindeer. I have watched

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing now and I think it is brilliant.

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I think it is brilliantly shot. It's on Netflix if

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.119
<v Speaker 3>you haven't seen it. It's been widely talked about, widely recommended.

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 3>It is a really incredible, well documented story and the

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 3>main actor in it is also the writer of it.

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 3>It is a true story or true from his experience,

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 3>and it's all around stalking, and it features around a

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 3>female stalker, which I don't think you see as often.

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.959
<v Speaker 3>But it is very, very, very brilliantly done.

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I have my own opinions on it, but I.

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Have actually seen a lot of publication in the last

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours about how he is quite actively asking

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>people to stop looking into who the real Matha is.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>To me, this just seems like such a full circle conversation.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Because she stalked him, He's now created this huge sensational

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 1>TV show about it, and now people are stalking her

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's kind of toying with the idea that he's

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>made this so insanely public that she's going to suffer

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the pylon, and I think he's

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>having some complex feelings about it.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>It's a very I mean, if you guys haven't seen

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Baby reind yet, I don't want to spoil anything for you,

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, it does feature around Martha. She is the

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 3>person who's stalking You've discovered that in the first episode.

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it even comes up in the bio. Yeah.

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess for me, I have some complex feelings around

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 3>and this is probably an unfair thing to say, but

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 3>it's almost around the like what did you expect? Because

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 3>I think if you go so hard with the this

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 3>is a true story, but you only tell the parts

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 3>of it that.

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, you give people so much.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Of course, people are gonna want answers, and that's just

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 3>the result of being invested in the series. I'm not

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 3>saying that that is okay. I think it is deeply

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 3>fundamentally wrong. I mean, this woman's she's already paid the

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 3>price for what she has done. There is another person

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>who is in the movie, who I think or in

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 3>the show, who I think should be getting more airtime.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 3>It is somebody who has not yet paid the price

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 3>for the crimes in which they committed, and it's around

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 3>sexual assault, it's around grooming, and I think that that

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 3>person should really be where the audience is focusing their

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 3>attention and focusing their interest. But I mean, I'm talking

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 3>about the show purely from like an entertainment perspective, purely

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 3>from viewing it and thinking it was really quite a

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 3>fascinating and I wouldn't say it's enjoyable, but it makes

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 3>you feel something to watch it. But I do question

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 3>when something is a true story, it's a true story

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 3>from one person's perspective, from one person's lived experience, and

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 3>so it is very one dimensional in that case, and

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's unfair when as an audience we try

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 3>and get more information or try and fit the pieces

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 3>of puzzle together, because there's real people at the end

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 3>of the day who are affected by this.

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I actually find this whole conversation really really fascinating because,

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>on one hand, any time you speak in a public space,

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and this could be done on your own Instagram count,

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you know that is somewhat of.

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>A public broadcast.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>There is that deliberation between what is my story and

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>my lived experience and how much sensitivity do I need

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to provide and privacy do I need to provide for

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the other people in my life who have been a

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>part of my life. And it's something that I remember

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>back in my very early days of radio, I crossed

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that line a little bit, like occasionally, not hugely, but

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>every now and then I would have someone in my life,

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>like my mum was one of them, and she was like, Hey,

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I heard this thing that you said on the radio.

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Could you just like not talk about that publicly because

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm just I don't want that to be

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a story. And I just find that concept very interesting

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know where you can draw the line

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>because for every person it will be different. But also,

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>how are we going to have any progression of you know,

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>real lessons. I guess if we're not telling the stories

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of people. So it's this kind of complex gray area

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that I don't even know where you can land.

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I guess the thing if you if you

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 3>haven't watched Baby Reindeer yet, what I took from it

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 3>is that he is not a perfect victim in this

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 3>and that there was also an element of the stalking

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 3>that he enjoyed. He enjoyed being part of the center

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 3>of attention, not center of attention, but he enjoyed how

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 3>it made him feel because he was so deeply depressed

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 3>and hated himself and having someone show interest in him.

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 3>But then it gives me more empathy for the person

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 3>who's the stalker because they're obviously mentally unwell and they

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 3>have been almost like led down the path and being

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 3>given breadcrumbs of affirmation that what they're doing isn't wrong.

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's very very complex. It'll make you feel something.

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that those feelings are going to be

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 3>good feelings. Big recommendation. It's on Netflix. Let's get into

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 3>answering the questions, Laura.

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 1>This question was initially written in the Facebook group by Megan,

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 1>who is a wonderful woman who posts on behalf of

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>other people anonymously in the group Huge shout out to

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you you don't get enough reconditional love you and Hannah

0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Lauren is the other I would just love to get

0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>your take on it. The question reads, please let me

0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 1>know if I'm being unreasonable or not. My partner Mail

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven is a big drinker and also has an

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 1>overactive bladder, which leads him to wedding the bed basically

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>every weekend when he drinks. I've expressed my discontent with

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>this numerous times throughout our three year relationship, and I've

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 1>tried to help by buying nappies, setting alarms during the night,

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and trying to trick him into sleeping in other rooms.

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I've also pushed him to see a urologist, where he

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>now takes medication to urinate less throughout the day. However,

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>as the bed wedding is primarily a problem from alcohol,

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>He's frequently still wedding the bed. This impact has extended

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to when we go away with friends for weddings, on holidays, etc.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And he makes no effort to drink less, and I'm

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 1>left to monitor him throughout the night to make sure

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>he gets up to pete and doesn't wet the bed,

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>as we will then have nowhere else to sleep. I'm

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>at my wits end, and I have gone to see

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a relationship counselor who basically said, long story short, that

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.200
<v Speaker 1>if I try to change the unchangeable and I'm going

0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to drive myself crazy and I basically need to learn

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to live with it. My partner has an enormous victim

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>mentality about this, and his only emotional response is that

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not fair that his mates can drink as much

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 1>as they want without this problem, And why me it's

0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 1>not fair? Am I being unreasonable in expecting him to

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 1>drink less to stop this problem? If he was in

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>his early twenties, i'd give him time to grow out

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>of it. But at nearly forty, I'm heavily considering leaving

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the relationship because it's so sad and unattractive and I

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want this for my future. Please tell me if

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm being too hard on him like he says I am.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 3>When I read this question and for so many people

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 3>who message in the Facebook group, I was like, oh wow, Wow, Okay,

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:41.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna start. Everyone accepts different things in their relationship.

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Everybody has a different benchmark for what they will accept

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 3>from their partner when it comes to behavior, when it

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 3>comes to things that they can and they can't control,

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's level is different. Yours is very different to where

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.919
<v Speaker 3>mine is because I already wouldn't be in this relationship

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 3>because of this. But I do understand what the therapist

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.159
<v Speaker 3>has said, even if I don't agree with it. What

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 3>they're saying to you is that if you want to

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 3>be in a relationship with this person and they are

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not going to change this behavior, then there has

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.160
<v Speaker 3>to come a point where you accept that this behavior

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 3>is not going to change, and that's something where your

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.880
<v Speaker 3>standards drop because you want to be with them. Specifically,

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.160
<v Speaker 3>I would like to approach it from the other perspective,

0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 3>which is I wouldn't want to be in a relationship

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 3>with someone who requires me to drop my standards so

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.959
<v Speaker 3>much because they prefer to drink then to stop pissing

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 3>the bed. Like for me, I read this and I

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.639
<v Speaker 3>would say, your partner has a problem with alcohol. If

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 3>they're drinking to a point where they wet the bed

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 3>every weekend or every time you go away or to

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 3>an event, that is a drinking problem. That is an

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 3>issue with alcohol. And when he says, oh, it's so

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 3>unfair that my friends can do X y Z but

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't.

0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 2>That is welcome to the real world. It's so deeply immature.

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Like to me, I listened to that, and I'm like,

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 3>what if your friends stick their head and the oven

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 3>are you going to like that mentality? I would say

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.199
<v Speaker 3>that to a four year old and the fact that

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 3>you have to say that to a forty year old

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 3>would give And I don't want to be like it

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 3>gives me the ick, but it so deeply gives me theck.

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 3>It is so childish to me that you were left

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 3>in a situation where you were the one who is

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.480
<v Speaker 3>having to try and fix this problem, and when you're

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 3>saying it leaves us with nowhere to sleep, or you're

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 3>having to go and buy nappies, or you're having to

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 3>clean up. He is a grown fucking adult and you

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 3>are not his mom. You are not responsible for his incontinence.

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 3>And it would be very different if he was incontinent

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 3>because he'd had prostate cancer, or incontinent because he had

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 3>some sort of urology issue. But the fact is that

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 3>it comes from alcohol. And so to me, I'm like,

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 3>your problem here is that your partner has an issue

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 3>with alcohol.

0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I said exactly.

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean very much along these lines in the Facebook

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:53.360
<v Speaker 1>group when I initially commented on this, and I said

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that I would have a much deeper sympathy if this

0:21:55.760 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>was purely a medical issue, but it's not because he

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is able to not.

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Wet the bed every other day of the week.

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the thing I really pointed out is that for him,

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it seems as though there aren't consequences to his behavior,

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 1>and that's where I think things have progressively gotten worse.

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I question why. Firstly, I find it very strange that

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have shame about this. Why is he not

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the one having to fix these situations? Why is he

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 1>not the one to have to tell your friends while

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you're away, Hey, sorry, we need to get some fresh

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>linen because I've wet the bed again. Yeah, it just

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.280
<v Speaker 1>seems as though there's no consequence for him because you

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 1>care about him so much and you're so worried about

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.560
<v Speaker 1>him feeling shame that you do it all for him.

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>There was actually a comment by Tanil in the Facebook

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>group that I thought was it just summarized absolutely everything,

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and she said it better than I did. She said,

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>would I leave a good relationship because someone had an overactive.

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Blooder and wet the bed?

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 1>No? Would I leave a relationship because my partner treated

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.400
<v Speaker 1>me like his parent, didn't listen to my clear communication,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't take into account my feelings and the effects his

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>life had on me, was having an issue based on

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>his own actions and choices, and still chose not to

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>do anything about it, someone who decided he was the

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 1>victim and I just have to live with the consequences

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, And someone who is clearly self absorbed and

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't respect me. Yes, I absolutely would drop Mike. Yeah,

0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>this summarized that it comes down to a respect ish

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and like, I just I actually feel so frustrated for

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you because the audacity of this person to treat you

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>like you are worthy of being pissed on in the

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>middle of the night. You know, Like, how is drinking

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:43.240
<v Speaker 1>with his friends to the extent that he does because

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he thinks it's fair that if old mate has a beer,

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 1>he gets to have one too. How is that more

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>important to you than urinating on your partner?

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just fucking wild to me.

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 3>But also, like I mean, I don't know, have you

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 3>ever been in a situation where a partner's drunk so

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 3>much they've pissed the bad because I have.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I haven't.

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Actually I have, And I've also been in a situation

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 3>where I've had people stay at my house and their

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 3>boyfriend got so drunk that they pissed in my bed.

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 2>So I've been on both sides. At this point.

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I came home one day and my mattress was out

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 3>on my balcony drying out because their boyfriend had wet

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:19.399
<v Speaker 3>my bed. And to be fair, she was furious, and

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 3>he was embarrassed, and he had to come to me

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 3>and apologize and he tried to clean it. But like,

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate at least the embarrassment, and I appreciate at

0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 3>least the acknowledgment of it, but also that relationship. One

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 3>of the biggest reasons why their relationship broke up and

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 3>they were married is because he had a drinking problem,

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 3>and because when he would drink, he would piss the bed.

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 3>And so this was repeated behavior that he took absolutely

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 3>no accountability for. And so I think that there comes

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 3>a point where you're like, do I want to live

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 3>like this? You're not twenty, and you've said it. If

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 3>you're twenty, you would have given him allowances. I mean,

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 3>the reference I have is when I was in my twenties,

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I dated a guy who when he drank too much,

0:24:58.520 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 3>he would wet the bed.

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 2>He did twice, he never did it again. He was humiliated.

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 3>It was like he needed to do it once to

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 3>be humiliated in the first place, and then he needed

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 3>to do it twice to know what his limit was,

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 3>and he was like, oh, I got there again. That's

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.639
<v Speaker 3>what that limit was, right, and he never ever did

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 3>it again, but he It's exactly what you said, Cash.

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 3>It's the lack of embarrassment around it. And I'm not

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 3>saying that like if you're and I'm going to be clear,

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 3>I think we already have. If you are someone who

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 3>has incontinence issues that you can't control, I don't want

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.439
<v Speaker 3>you to feel that there's this deep shame around it.

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 3>But if it's something that you can control but you

0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 3>are not because you were preferencing alcohol, that I think

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 3>is something that is pretty shameful and it's something that

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 3>I think you should be at least trying to get

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 3>to the reason as to why why are you needing

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.399
<v Speaker 3>to drink on a weekend to a point where you

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 3>don't have the ability to wake up to control your bladder,

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Like that is past the point of normal drinking.

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I fully agree with that everything you've said. My last

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 2>point is that I.

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Think if you are determined on staying in this relationship,

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>which it actually doesn't sound like you are. You said

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you're at your wits end, You're kind of at the

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:04.639
<v Speaker 1>point where you're about to break and I think that

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that is so reasonable.

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 3>No. Also, the thing you've said here is please tell

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 3>me if I'm being too hard on him, like he

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:10.360
<v Speaker 3>says that I am.

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 2>No, he's gas lighting you.

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 3>You were being gas lit into believing that you haven't

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 3>been tolerant or understanding or accepting enough.

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:18.439
<v Speaker 2>That's what this is.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 3>You've been manipulated to feel guilty about the fact that

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 3>you have adverse reactions to this.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the only way you will be able to

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:31.159
<v Speaker 1>progress in this relationship is if you get to the

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>heart of why he's feeling the need to drink. Often,

0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:38.679
<v Speaker 1>with any type of substance abuse alcoholism.

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>There is a reason.

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:42.400
<v Speaker 1>There is a deep reason why people feel that they

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>need to drink to the extent that they do.

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Is it to forget something? Is it to not have

0:26:46.440 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>social anxiety?

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>And I know I'm giving so much leniency here, and

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not my natural reaction.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to think of this a little bit

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:55.120
<v Speaker 2>more wholeheartedly.

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I think if you're able to understand the reason why

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.119
<v Speaker 1>he feels the need to drink to that extent, it

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:05.159
<v Speaker 1>might give you a little bit more context and it

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 1>may lead you to a potential solution.

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 2>The only other solution to me is that you break up.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I'm kind of trying to give this

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 1>other alternative because that's the only thing. This person, to me,

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>seems like he has a real issue with taking responsibility

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and accountability, and I doubt this is the only time

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that it shows up in your relationship.

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And it's really hard because like when you say,

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 3>like you've been to see a counselor about it, you've

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 3>been to speak to a therapist. I find it so

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.280
<v Speaker 3>interesting that often the person who isn't the issue will

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 3>go and seek the therapy, right the person who is asking,

0:27:37.200 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 3>literally begging their partner to change, is the one that

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 3>goes to the therapist. But nothing's going to change in

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 3>your relationship unless the person who has the issue also

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 3>wants to go and speak to a counselor also is

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 3>showing up to the relationship with the same wants and

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:52.440
<v Speaker 3>desires for it to be better as what you do.

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 3>So I kind of I feel really sorry for you

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 3>that the feedback or that the advice that you've received

0:27:57.880 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 3>is that you just have to accept it. I don't

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 3>want you to interpret that as though you're not being

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 3>understanding enough. What they're trying to say to you in

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 3>that moment is that if this is a relationship that

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:09.159
<v Speaker 3>you want, you can't change this on your own. So

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 3>the only way of changing it is to change your

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 3>mindset around it. But I don't think changing your mindset

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 3>is the solution here. I think he needs to fucking

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 3>step up. And sometimes you have to realize what it

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.879
<v Speaker 3>is that you've lost the consequences of your actions in

0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:23.959
<v Speaker 3>order to actually change. And that's what it feels like,

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 3>is the situation here, all right? Question number two? This

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 3>is funny, I think, and I wonder if you have

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 3>strong feelings about this or how everyone feels. I randomly

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:37.960
<v Speaker 3>asked my husband when he had his last wank, to

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 3>which he replied, oh, no, probably last week. Me, being

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 3>a stay at home mum who is home all the time,

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 3>then asked, was I home, and he so casually responded,

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 3>oh no, nine times out of ten, I just have

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 3>a wank at work now I'm not here to yuck

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 3>someone's yum. However, this is not the first partner I've

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 3>had do this. My husband is a trade A guy

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I dated was in real state, and then another one

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 3>worked in medical My.

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Question is is this normal? Why not do it at home?

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Is it a risk kink thing or is this just

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 3>something that guys do. I don't masturbate at work. Logistically,

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 3>it's not my thing. I don't want to sit in

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 3>a cubicle and finger myself finger blast myself on a

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 3>public toilet.

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 1>That I'm grateful Laura for that, as we have more

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 1>than one toilet in our bathrooms here at Wall.

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 3>To be fair, if I'm glad, I don't hear a

0:29:27.680 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 3>buzz buzz, even if I wanted to kisha every single

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 3>time I say I'm going to the toilet, you follow

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:32.479
<v Speaker 3>me in.

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I am a reappeal a lot of time. I've never

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 2>weed in bed with you. Okay, you should be grateful

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 2>for that, that's true.

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>My initial reaction to this was legitimately, what the actual

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>fuck are you talking about? No, this isn't normal, and

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I decided to do a read of the room. I

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 1>asked my boyfriend. He said he's never done it, and

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>he's done overnight shifts. I had six girls over at

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>my house last night for book club, and I was like, guys,

0:29:56.840 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow on the podcast, I think this is something we're

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about can I get a reader the room?

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 1>What's your go and what do your partners think? Much

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>more common than I anticipated. How many out of the

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>six ah, I think it was nearly fifty to fifty.

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>And the fifty percent who were like no, were like,

0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 2>It's never something that I've asked them. I've never thought

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I needed to.

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 3>So were they saying yes to themselves or yes for

0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 3>their partners? Like for their partners?

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I actually didn't get to ourselves, but I

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 1>asked about partners first, and they responded with things like, yeah,

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he's done it, like in the showers at work,

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, if they either go for a run or

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>something equal.

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 2>It was the gym.

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Apparently it's something that people sometimes do in the shower

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 1>at the gym.

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 2>That seems really unnecessary. This person has written in saying

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>that their husband is a trade. My brother's a trade.

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 2>He's a builder.

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't even let the people who work on his

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 1>job sites use the bathrooms of the people whose homes

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 1>they're creating.

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So he's masturbating in a portaloo. It's like, that's what

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 2>that I need some ambience? Men?

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Really, they don't need a lot, do they a lot

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 3>of them, like far out.

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a process for me. I don't know.

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I do think men and women we're speaking mostly

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 3>like from like heterosexual position, but like I would say,

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 3>guys are more likely to do it than what women are.

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not ruling out women masturbating at work. I

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 3>think that they're also there's many more reasons loaded into it,

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Like female pleasure has been something that's like been very shrouded.

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 3>It's been very stigmatized for so long. I'm okay with

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the stigma of wanking at work. I'm not that progressive.

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually okay with being like, now, that's a bit strange.

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you imagine if that was the next movement, women

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 3>who wank at work?

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>WW? We want equal rights. Sorry, I'm gonna get canceled.

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>To me, there just seems like there's logistical complications here.

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 2>How do you clean yourself up? How you are you cyber?

0:31:59.400 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 2>If you get it else, silent work just ww.

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I'm not sure we should be normalizing it. If

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I was going to put my energy into normalizing something

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that has stigma, this isn't it.

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>But I do think maybe maybe it could be.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Related to how you respond to whether your partner masturbates

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>at home? Bear with me, he said nine times out

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of ten, he'll do it at work, because she was like,

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but I'm home all the time. So are you the

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>person who's not okay with your partner masturbating while you're

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>at home? Or is it more just a case that,

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like you're physically at home, and like often you'll walk

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:40.680
<v Speaker 1>into the bathroom when he's in the shower and vice versa. Yeah,

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I always wonder when Matt does it, because I'm like,

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm home a lot when he's home, although he does

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:49.520
<v Speaker 1>work from home, so I'm guessing probably that complexes the

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>question of do you wankn work, because like for him,

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a one in one in all, Yeah, do you

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>wank in the same spot that you do your work? Though?

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Like do you wank at the table or is it

0:32:58.160 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 3>always in the shower or the bedroom? Do you remember

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 3>how earlier you said like you share other people's stories,

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes you think that maybe you share things that

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:08.000
<v Speaker 3>are not yours to share. I think I'm walking into

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 3>that territory right now. Hey, honey, where do you wank in?

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 3>What part of their house? Just so I know, do

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 3>you use the towels or the toilet. People like, what's

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 3>it like? Should we get that detailed? I don't think so.

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's fine to leave that as a

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 2>question mark.

0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, rhetorical. He doesn't need to answer, and Mattie J

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Will not be joining us.

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:25.719
<v Speaker 1>But what I mean by this is like, if you're

0:33:25.760 --> 0:33:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the type of person who doesn't like your partner masturbating

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>at home, especially when you're home, because the question could

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>be like, well, why don't you want to have sex

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.640
<v Speaker 1>with me? I don't have a problem with that because

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to me, masturbation and having sex are very different things.

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The intimacy is very different. One's more of a physical need,

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:42.840
<v Speaker 1>one's more of an emotional thing.

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 3>As so long as your sex life is not affected,

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't think we should be telling people when they

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:47.560
<v Speaker 3>can and can't masturbate.

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, some people actually really don't like it. They don't

0:33:50.680 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>like the idea of their partner getting off while they

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>are at home.

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 2>That's problematic.

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>It's personal preference to some degree. I think I think

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 1>it depends. It's one of those gray areas for me,

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But that would be my next question to you. Is

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he doing it nine times out of ten at work?

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Because he doesn't feel comfortable doing it at home, maybe

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:09.480
<v Speaker 1>he'll be doing it.

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 2>In the portalloo less if you tell him that you're

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 2>fine with it.

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I find that so I'm still hung up on what

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 3>you just said. I find it so interesting that you

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 3>think it is a gray area to not be okay

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.800
<v Speaker 3>with your partner masturbating so long as it doesn't affect

0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:26.520
<v Speaker 3>your relationship. I think if they're doing it so frequently

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 3>that it affects your sex life, I would have an

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 3>issue with it.

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it depends on where they do it.

0:34:30.680 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 3>But if totally okay, if they're doing it whilst you're

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 3>asleep next to you, like problem, that's what I mean

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 3>by gray area. If they are just in their free

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 3>time on a Tuesday at eleven because they work from home,

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.320
<v Speaker 3>wanting to go upstairs, have a shower and have a wank.

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't think that we have the autonomy over

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 3>another person's body to say whether they should or can't,

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 3>or could or can masturbate, Like that's it, that's your

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 3>personal preference. You do you, that's your body do or

0:34:57.040 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 3>whatever you want with it. I don't think we should

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 3>have license over people's bo like that.

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I completely agree.

0:35:01.560 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 1>For me, the gray area comes down to whether it

0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is impacting you having sex, Like if they're masturbating so

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 1>much that you're not having sex, that could be a problem.

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.359
<v Speaker 1>It might not be, but it could be totally if

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 1>they're doing it in places like if they're in the

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>shower and you're in the bathroom, you might not like that,

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.360
<v Speaker 1>do you know what I mean? Like the area that

0:35:19.400 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>they do it and the privacy that they do it

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 1>from is where it becomes a gray area.

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I under so, yeah, yeah, that's.

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.720
<v Speaker 1>What And I completely agree that we can't be telling

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 1>people if it's not problematic where they can and can't

0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 1>get off, unless maybe it's at work.

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Will definitely put a pole up for this. I would

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.359
<v Speaker 3>love to know we're going to do two. Ask your

0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 3>partners if you're in a relationship, I want to know

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.839
<v Speaker 3>if your partners have masturbated at work. That's one pole.

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 3>But then I also want to know if you have

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 3>done it. And I think that these things will be

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 3>more skewed. So I have never that I can remember,

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 3>no whereas like maybe you have zero judgment, all right,

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Question number three, My husband has gone to Darwin for

0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 3>a week for a friend's fortieth.

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 2>We live in New South Wales, which's fine.

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I encouraged him to go. I am home with our

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 3>two children at age two and four months.

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh poor thing. I'm feeling a little.

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Bit let down how often he is checking in with

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 3>me while he is away. I feel like I have

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 3>been initiating all contact with him, sending messages with updates

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 3>of the kids, etc.

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And he takes.

0:36:17.040 --> 0:36:19.799
<v Speaker 3>Hours to respond, if at all. He doesn't bother to

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 3>send good morning or good night messages or calls. And

0:36:22.320 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 3>I can see that he has been active online. He's

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 3>staying at his brother's house, and I know for a

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:29.880
<v Speaker 3>fact they have just been sitting around drinking for the

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 3>last few days. Am I being unreasonable thinking he should

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 3>be checking in on us more? I have pulled back

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 3>on how many times I initiate contact to see whether

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:40.240
<v Speaker 3>he would pick it up on his end, but he hasn't.

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Should I bring it up with him or just let

0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 3>it go? Yeah?

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.280
<v Speaker 2>That sucks? That actually really sucks.

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 1>And it sucks for two reasons, not just for you,

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:51.839
<v Speaker 1>but also because it seems as though he's not really

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>checking in with.

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 2>How the kid's own children are going.

0:36:55.400 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Ah, look, no you are not being too sensitive of whatsoever.

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Do I think you should bring it up with him, Yeah,

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I do, but I think you should wait until he

0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:07.839
<v Speaker 1>gets home until you bring it up with him.

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 2>We've been in situations where we've been away for.

0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Work, and like truly, it can be very, very very busy.

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think that kind of the bare minimum is

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the book end of the day. It's the good morning

0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and the good night, especially if you have children. It's

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 1>quite strange to me that he wouldn't actually be not

0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 1>only wondering how the kids are going, but wondering how

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:30.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going with.

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Them on your own.

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I think if you are wanting to get the best

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 1>out of this scenario, it will be best if you

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>wait until he comes home and you just say I

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:42.919
<v Speaker 1>was really looking forward to you going away and having

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a really good time with your brother. I think he's

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>gone away with some friends, and I even encourage you

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to go.

0:37:49.640 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 2>And as a part of that, I had to.

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Take on extra responsibility of looking after our children on

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:57.319
<v Speaker 1>my own, and I expected that you would have a

0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>bit more kindness, compassion and respect for me and want

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to know how I was going in that situation, because

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it was extra load for me and I was disappointed

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.120
<v Speaker 1>by the fact that it seems as though you didn't care.

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I agree that you should have the conversation, but I

0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:16.439
<v Speaker 3>disagree with timing, and I think you should have it now,

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:18.560
<v Speaker 3>which is probably annoying because by the time we actually

0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:21.920
<v Speaker 3>answer this question, who'll probably be home realistically, But and

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 3>I just say this from my personal experience, because I

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 3>have had this experience with Matt, and Matt has had

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 3>this experience with me. When you are the person who

0:38:28.360 --> 0:38:30.799
<v Speaker 3>leaves and you are away from your kids and from

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 3>your family, especially if you're normally so so so so

0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.640
<v Speaker 3>plugged in, there's two types of people. There's people who

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 3>are super proactive because they're so concerned and they miss

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:44.719
<v Speaker 3>their children and miss their family and miss everything so

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 3>much that they are.

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Very, very constantly in contact.

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Then there are also people, and I think it's very

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 3>easy to jump down the throat of being like he

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 3>doesn't care. I also think it's a massive testament to

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you that he's like, you've got this. The kids are

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 3>well taken care of, you know, I'm not worried about them,

0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 3>But it does show a lack of interest in this moment,

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 3>and I would just I'm just playing devil's advocate. I

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 3>know there'll be other mums out there who will like,

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 3>shut up, Laura, but it's probably not that often that

0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 3>he gets to plug into his friends and into the

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 3>pre kid life, you know, into like the lack of responsibility,

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and I think the window of him going away on

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 3>this holiday is very small. So I would say if

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 3>this was me and I was in a situation, so

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:31.360
<v Speaker 3>to not make it a massive, massive deal, to not

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 3>make it this big accusatory thing, to not harbor and

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:35.839
<v Speaker 3>hold onto the resentment that you're going to feel when

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 3>he comes home, and then you bring it up when

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 3>he's home, when he can't do anything about it. The

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 3>situation's then passed and all he can do is be like, oh,

0:39:43.520 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry, or he'll get defensive and say but

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.080
<v Speaker 3>I did X y Z. I would just say the

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 3>next time I'm talking to him, like, hey, honey, i'm

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.200
<v Speaker 3>feeling pretty lonely and I'm feeling like you're not making

0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:56.319
<v Speaker 3>much of an effort to contact me. Can you try

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 3>a bit harder? And then that gives him the opportunity

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:02.280
<v Speaker 3>to try. And it's not accusatree, it's not you starting

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 3>a fight with him or making out that he's a

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 3>bad dad, or that he doesn't care about your family,

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 3>because if this is the only time that you've experienced this,

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.080
<v Speaker 3>it's probably a very rare thing that he goes away,

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 3>and if he is normally an incredible husband, an incredible dad,

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 3>he probably is just caught up in being able to

0:40:16.480 --> 0:40:18.759
<v Speaker 3>spend time with his friends. I felt like this when

0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Matt went to Vegas recently, because he was so busy,

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:24.040
<v Speaker 3>he was working. He was also in Vegas, and I

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 3>was at home being like.

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh, well, fuck a bit, you're having a good time.

0:40:27.800 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 3>You know. I was getting like very short answers from him,

0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:32.080
<v Speaker 3>And when I was getting answers, it was like a

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 3>few hours had passed, and I just said to him,

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:35.880
<v Speaker 3>I was like, can you put in a bit more

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 3>effort with contacting me? And Matt did, and he was amazing.

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.600
<v Speaker 3>And I think sometimes we just need to be made

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 3>aware of what we're doing and how it's affecting the

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:46.680
<v Speaker 3>person on the other end. And I don't think that

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 3>everything needs to end in a fight, and he'll just

0:40:48.680 --> 0:40:50.360
<v Speaker 3>try a little bit harder, or it gives him the

0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:51.920
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to try a little bit harder.

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're really.

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Good points and I think you probably have more skin

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:58.719
<v Speaker 1>in like, you have more actual lived experience in this

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 1>than would I do. So I feel a bit of

0:41:00.440 --> 0:41:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a phony trying to give advice because it doesn't.

0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Need to have kids in the equation.

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 3>It could just be your partner's away on holidays and

0:41:05.880 --> 0:41:07.279
<v Speaker 3>they're not contacting you as much.

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:11.440
<v Speaker 1>The reason that I naturally would wait until someone got

0:41:11.480 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 1>home is in case of defensiveness, because I think for

0:41:14.640 --> 0:41:19.240
<v Speaker 1>most people it's so easy to naturally want to defend

0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.759
<v Speaker 1>yourself and want to defend your behavior. And when you

0:41:21.840 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>have that happening via text or whether you have it

0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:27.120
<v Speaker 1>happening via a quick call with his mates in the

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:30.320
<v Speaker 1>next room, unless your partner is the type of person

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:33.239
<v Speaker 1>who takes on feedback really well, I feel like it

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.359
<v Speaker 1>could make the situation worse. Do you know? So that's

0:41:36.680 --> 0:41:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess you're gonna have to see. So that based

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>off of your own actual relationship.

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 3>But your partner's reaction is defensive, it shows like a

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 3>real lack of immaturity. I think like a lack of maturity. Sorry,

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 3>And it depends on the way in which you're you're

0:41:49.560 --> 0:41:52.040
<v Speaker 3>saying this. I'm saying, don't come at it from an

0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 3>accusatory way. Don't come at it saying like you're not

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 3>texting me. It's a like, hey, honey, I'm feeling a

0:41:57.200 --> 0:41:59.399
<v Speaker 3>little bit lonely at the moment. It's been a lot

0:41:59.440 --> 0:42:01.439
<v Speaker 3>with the kids. Could you text me a bit more?

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Or can you just try and respond to me when

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 3>I know you're busy and I know you're having a

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:07.120
<v Speaker 3>great time, but I would really love it if you

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:08.800
<v Speaker 3>could try and get back to me, or you know,

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 3>message in the mornings or stuff like it makes me

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 3>feel like you're thinking about me. I do sometimes think

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 3>it's the way in which we word things that can

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 3>make something feel accusatory, and then that puts someone instantly

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:20.239
<v Speaker 3>on the defense rather than it being like, Okay, we

0:42:20.280 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 3>both want the same thing. You know he loves you,

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 3>you know he wants to be with you, unless fundamentally

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 3>you're questioning those parts of your relationships.

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I think, I mean, I want to like examine myself

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 1>in this situation. I have naturally been the person who

0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 1>takes criticism on really really badly, And I'm just thinking

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:42.400
<v Speaker 1>about how even if you don't word it in an

0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>accusatory way, someone still has the ability to take it

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>on as criticism, you know, And again I think the

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.680
<v Speaker 1>way you have worded at Laura is going to be

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the most likely to have a positive impact.

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:58.440
<v Speaker 2>But underlying you are disappointed and you are a bit

0:42:58.440 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 2>pissed off.

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's going to be hard to kind

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of convey that message without any accusation at all of

0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>being like, you haven't been living up to what I've

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 1>expected of you. And also I don't think you're expecting

0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 1>too much. So he kind of is coming in it

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to this situation with you being like, hey, you haven't

0:43:16.000 --> 0:43:17.400
<v Speaker 1>really reached out to me very much.

0:43:18.239 --> 0:43:18.800
<v Speaker 2>It's true.

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>It's not like he can turn around and be like,

0:43:20.760 --> 0:43:23.399
<v Speaker 1>but yes I have. He's immediately going to be like, fuck,

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't, you know.

0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:26.880
<v Speaker 3>But when we talk about this idea of being defensive,

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:30.400
<v Speaker 3>I think avoiding a conversation because you're worried about the

0:43:30.440 --> 0:43:34.560
<v Speaker 3>other person becoming defensive and gas Lardi. I guess my

0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:36.840
<v Speaker 3>question to you, Keish would be, well, then what is

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:39.439
<v Speaker 3>the benefit of bringing it up after the fact, Because one,

0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 3>they can't do any reparation, They can't do anything to

0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 3>change it because it's already happened. And now it's like, Okay,

0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 3>well you're angry at me about something that all I

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 3>can do is say sorry for I can't even I

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:53.359
<v Speaker 3>wasn't aware of it. I didn't know, and now you're

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:57.120
<v Speaker 3>annoyed and you haven't you didn't say anything. Yeah, yours

0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:58.719
<v Speaker 3>is much better conflict resolution.

0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, it just to me it might not be.

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, for me, it would be a next time.

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 1>But who knows when the next time is going to be?

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:07.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, like, and I very much see your point.

0:44:07.520 --> 0:44:09.920
<v Speaker 1>You're not giving him the opportunity to change the behavior

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in the moment.

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:12.719
<v Speaker 2>You're only assuming that he will become defensive.

0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:14.680
<v Speaker 3>My worry is is like if that was me and

0:44:14.719 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 3>that when I came home said hey, the whole time

0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:19.880
<v Speaker 3>that you were away, you did this and it upset me,

0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:22.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, why didn't you tell me I was

0:44:22.400 --> 0:44:25.440
<v Speaker 3>away for a week And I had no intention of

0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:27.400
<v Speaker 3>upsetting you. I did not know that I was hurting

0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:29.880
<v Speaker 3>your feelings. I would never want to hurt your feelings.

0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:32.120
<v Speaker 3>I would have tried harder. And now I hate that

0:44:32.160 --> 0:44:34.720
<v Speaker 3>you spent that whole week thinking I didn't care about you.

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:36.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, advice has changed my mind. Listen to Laura,

0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:39.480
<v Speaker 3>I am.

0:44:39.320 --> 0:44:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Not a therapist.

0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Your advice actually is a lot better in this situation,

0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and you are giving the ability to alter the behavior.

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Listen to Laura. Only take on what I've said. If

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:53.839
<v Speaker 2>your partner is super defensive normally.

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but also maybe that's something that you'll need to

0:44:56.040 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 1>address in other areas. This feels way more I'm exposing

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 1>what goes on in my brain.

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you have anxiety too, who knows. Let's get into

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the last question. Okay, question before.

0:45:09.400 --> 0:45:11.759
<v Speaker 1>What I've loved about the questions in the last five

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:13.840
<v Speaker 1>weeks that I've been able to fill in on asking

0:45:13.920 --> 0:45:17.360
<v Speaker 1>cut with you is that we have gone from such deep,

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 1>meaningful conversation to the silliest of silly things.

0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:23.319
<v Speaker 3>And I think this is going to say that there's

0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 3>no dumb questions, and I know I've said it before,

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 3>but like recently, there have been some, and that's okay,

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 3>we love it.

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Here's what I consider to be one wearing a brata work,

0:45:32.880 --> 0:45:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I haven't a couple of times I have small titties

0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and where normal neckline tops. Thought I could absolutely get

0:45:39.719 --> 0:45:41.920
<v Speaker 1>away with it, but I did just notice one of

0:45:41.920 --> 0:45:44.680
<v Speaker 1>my male coworkers looking down and it made me feel

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:47.719
<v Speaker 1>a bit weird. I have a desk job, and am

0:45:47.800 --> 0:45:49.880
<v Speaker 1>worried it might not be very professional.

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 2>We'd love your thoughts.

0:45:52.360 --> 0:45:54.640
<v Speaker 3>This is a bit off tangent, but as soon as

0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I read this, it reminded me of something that happened

0:45:56.640 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 3>to me when I worked in marketing a fucking million

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:00.840
<v Speaker 3>years ago. So I used to work for this company.

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 3>It was a dental sleep apnear company.

0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:04.799
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:46:04.840 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 3>We used to make snee We used to make dental

0:46:07.040 --> 0:46:09.479
<v Speaker 3>devices for people who i'd sleep APNA, and I worked

0:46:09.520 --> 0:46:11.960
<v Speaker 3>in their marketing team and my marketing boss and I

0:46:12.280 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, in my twenties, before kids sucked

0:46:14.840 --> 0:46:18.680
<v Speaker 3>the life out of my titties, I had reasonably good boobs,

0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:22.880
<v Speaker 3>reasonably good, not great, not terrible, reasonably good. Anyway, I

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 3>wore normal tops with normal bras to work. Like nothing

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 3>that you would think is revealing, Like I was an

0:46:28.480 --> 0:46:31.560
<v Speaker 3>office job, but I have like a it's called pectus

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:33.920
<v Speaker 3>escavadam I think or something like that is that medical

0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:36.200
<v Speaker 3>medical people are going to think that I said that

0:46:36.200 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 3>wrong or I butchered it. But it's basically like I

0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:39.680
<v Speaker 3>have a hole in my chest, like my chest goes in.

0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I have this like really deep Hello.

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Everybody on YouTube, I have a really deep, like con cave.

0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 3>It's called pigeon chest for people who want like the

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 3>layman's terms in my chest anyway, which makes me look

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 3>like I have bigger boobs than I do.

0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:53.480
<v Speaker 2>And I would be sitting at my desk shadow cleavage. Yeah,

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's fake, it's fake. Yes, I see fake cleavage. See

0:46:58.040 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 2>it really goes in. I'm sure they really appreciate your welcome.

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.280
<v Speaker 3>So I would sit on my desk and my marketing

0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:08.080
<v Speaker 3>manager would always come and talk to me from above me,

0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 3>so he was always over me, so he would get

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 3>a bird's eye view of cleavage if.

0:47:11.960 --> 0:47:12.760
<v Speaker 2>He wanted it. Pigeon.

0:47:13.040 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what he said to me this one day?

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:18.520
<v Speaker 3>He said this is I'm not mincing his words. He said,

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.720
<v Speaker 3>why do you like getting your tits out at work?

0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And I was.

0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Mortified, absolutely fucking mortified because in my mind I was

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:33.080
<v Speaker 3>just wearing a button up shirt with a braro on,

0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:35.800
<v Speaker 3>like I wasn't getting my tits out at work anyway.

0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Needless to say, like it was a different culture back then.

0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:42.399
<v Speaker 3>I think everybody has stories from you know, fifteen years ago,

0:47:42.880 --> 0:47:45.760
<v Speaker 3>almost twenty it was eighteen years ago as to how

0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:49.600
<v Speaker 3>working in offices was way more fucking problematic, and we

0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:51.880
<v Speaker 3>didn't have HR at the time, and anyway, it was

0:47:51.880 --> 0:47:54.360
<v Speaker 3>a ship place to work. But when I read this question,

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I thought of that, and I thought of like the

0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 3>what is appropriate and what isn't appropriate? And I think

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a true one because where my brain goes to

0:48:02.000 --> 0:48:04.959
<v Speaker 3>instantly is fuck it if men can go to shirt

0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:08.040
<v Speaker 3>with their nipples obvious through their button up shirts, like

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 3>you should be able to too, you know, like you

0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:12.040
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be told what you can and can't wear to work.

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:15.920
<v Speaker 3>But then the more conservative side of me says, for

0:48:16.040 --> 0:48:19.320
<v Speaker 3>your own sense of like not being sexualized at work

0:48:19.440 --> 0:48:22.839
<v Speaker 3>and being able to one be seen as professional and

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 3>not to be in a situation where some absolute fucking

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:27.839
<v Speaker 3>flog of a human is going to look down your

0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:31.840
<v Speaker 3>shirt or say anything that's overtly sexual to you, I

0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 3>would wear a bra, And I know that that is

0:48:34.160 --> 0:48:35.759
<v Speaker 3>very much of like why did you wear a short

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 3>skirt mentality, which is not how I mean this to sound.

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:40.480
<v Speaker 3>And I very very very much want like preface this

0:48:40.600 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 3>that that is absolutely not how I feel about this.

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:48.319
<v Speaker 3>But I also think that from a work environment, there

0:48:48.320 --> 0:48:52.080
<v Speaker 3>are things that are deemed acceptable and not acceptable professional

0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:54.799
<v Speaker 3>and not professional, whether that's right or wrong. And I

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 3>would just say you don't have to not wear something

0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.480
<v Speaker 3>that's revealing. You can have your cleavage art, but I

0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:02.280
<v Speaker 3>would say wear a bra if it means it's less

0:49:02.360 --> 0:49:04.120
<v Speaker 3>easy for someone to be able to look down your top.

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Does that make sense.

0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Without it being like and I don't want this to

0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:10.719
<v Speaker 3>be something that people interpret as though I'm shaming you

0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:12.319
<v Speaker 3>for what you do or don't wear. You can wear

0:49:12.320 --> 0:49:14.560
<v Speaker 3>whatever the fuck you want to. There's no dress code

0:49:14.600 --> 0:49:16.799
<v Speaker 3>that says women have to wear bras to work. I

0:49:17.000 --> 0:49:19.120
<v Speaker 3>just more mean that if it's obvious for someone to

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:20.880
<v Speaker 3>see down your top, in the same way that if

0:49:20.920 --> 0:49:22.920
<v Speaker 3>a guy was bending over and I could see all

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:25.359
<v Speaker 3>of his nipples out at work, I'd be like, why

0:49:25.400 --> 0:49:26.920
<v Speaker 3>are you wearing a singlet to work? It's not an

0:49:26.920 --> 0:49:29.800
<v Speaker 3>appropriate attire. I feel the same about what a woman wears.

0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:32.280
<v Speaker 3>And I say this from like, you know, guys normally

0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:33.360
<v Speaker 3>wear button up shirts.

0:49:33.640 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 2>They are not revealing.

0:49:35.520 --> 0:49:38.240
<v Speaker 3>What we can wear to work can be more revealing

0:49:38.280 --> 0:49:42.960
<v Speaker 3>because female clothing, professional clothing is far more varied and

0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:45.680
<v Speaker 3>there's far more of a spectrum of what we wear.

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Rather than just being a button up shirt.

0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I think this comment, like, yes, the progressive part of

0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:52.480
<v Speaker 1>me wants to be like, burn the fucking bras wear whatever.

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>You have come so far with these conversations, But the

0:49:57.680 --> 0:50:00.480
<v Speaker 1>reality is that's not life. And the reality is that

0:50:00.520 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in society right now, we deem some things appropriate, we

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:06.760
<v Speaker 1>dem some things inappropriate, and if you're in a workplace environment,

0:50:08.160 --> 0:50:11.759
<v Speaker 1>those to me, I'm just like, I don't know if

0:50:11.800 --> 0:50:13.680
<v Speaker 1>this is the hill I would be willing to die

0:50:13.719 --> 0:50:17.080
<v Speaker 1>on because we have made such progression with gender equality,

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:20.480
<v Speaker 1>particularly in the workplace. I'm like, is not wearing a

0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:23.080
<v Speaker 1>bra where you want to like focus the energy of

0:50:23.120 --> 0:50:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the progression of wherever you work?

0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. My other question is where do you work?

0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:29.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's so dependent and when I'm saying, like

0:50:29.760 --> 0:50:31.920
<v Speaker 3>when I was talking about opposite center office job, are

0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:34.040
<v Speaker 3>you working at a desk job for a lawyers? Like,

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:38.280
<v Speaker 3>there's different levels I think of professionalism of dress attire

0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:40.840
<v Speaker 3>for work. So I do think that that has to

0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 3>be taken into consideration.

0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly, and not to talk about myself, but I do

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.240
<v Speaker 1>have lived experience from the opposite end of the spectrum.

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm naturally a ten.

0:50:49.400 --> 0:50:54.400
<v Speaker 1>F people with big boobs have had to control the uncontrollable.

0:50:55.800 --> 0:50:58.520
<v Speaker 1>There have been times where I have been wearing perfectly

0:50:58.560 --> 0:51:02.319
<v Speaker 1>normal T shirts, normal T shirt, normal fittedness, whatever you'd

0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:05.720
<v Speaker 1>call it, Like, and when you have a big bust,

0:51:06.000 --> 0:51:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you are overtly sexualized regardless of what you're wearing.

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:14.040
<v Speaker 2>So to me, I kind of just go like, Oh.

0:51:13.560 --> 0:51:15.360
<v Speaker 1>It would be a really nice debate for me to

0:51:15.400 --> 0:51:17.640
<v Speaker 1>be like, is it too one professional for me to

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:20.839
<v Speaker 1>not wear a bra because my whole life it has been.

0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:51:21.520 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And you also can't wear ninety percent of the tops

0:51:24.280 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 1>even if you wear a button up top. Is it

0:51:26.200 --> 0:51:28.960
<v Speaker 1>so tight between your boobs that the point where the

0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:31.120
<v Speaker 1>buttons are that you end up with a gape? You

0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:33.759
<v Speaker 1>end up with this big gaping hole exactly looking at

0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:37.920
<v Speaker 1>where your bra is. I've felt really like conflicted about

0:51:37.960 --> 0:51:40.440
<v Speaker 1>wearing something that fits me everywhere else, and so then

0:51:40.520 --> 0:51:43.120
<v Speaker 1>your whole wardrobe has to change to these big moo

0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 1>moo like things because you're trying to be appropriate. And

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just a little bit like I hate the fact

0:51:49.600 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that this is still something that we have to control

0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:54.720
<v Speaker 1>our behavior because of the way that other people respond

0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to it. That sucks in society, but it is the

0:51:57.080 --> 0:52:00.719
<v Speaker 1>reality of how life is, and to me, I kind

0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:01.239
<v Speaker 1>of just go.

0:52:01.800 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 2>If you think it's unprofessional, just wear bra.

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Like everyone with a big busters had to, They've had

0:52:06.120 --> 0:52:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to make more sacrifice.

0:52:07.840 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you, I totally agree, and I think

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:11.680
<v Speaker 3>that this is I feel very differently about it because

0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:14.399
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about it from a work perspective. Yeah, and

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:16.520
<v Speaker 3>for any other place that might be considered like a

0:52:16.560 --> 0:52:17.560
<v Speaker 3>professional space.

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:20.359
<v Speaker 2>If you're questioning it, as Keisha said, just wear a bra.

0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather focus my energy on the gender pay gap.

0:52:23.480 --> 0:52:28.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's it from us today. Britt will be back

0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:28.680

0:52:28.960 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 3>So Brute is coming back on the weekend, and then

0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:33.359
<v Speaker 3>we're going to be doing like a big deep dive

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:35.440
<v Speaker 3>in all of the ins and out questions of I'm

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.959
<v Speaker 3>a celebrity, which I'm still fascinated by how the whole

0:52:39.000 --> 0:52:40.759
<v Speaker 3>thing works. I think she's had a bit of R

0:52:40.800 --> 0:52:44.120
<v Speaker 3>and R, a bit of time to like recoup and yeah.

0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:44.960
