1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: I put on your dance and ship.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: They've give me your best shot. And from Mom and Maya,

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: we've got podcast for a journalist. Emma Gillespie on the phone. Hello, Emma,

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: good morning.

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 3: How are you today?

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Well, we're great. We've got they've got your working at

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 2: Mum and Mea today, so you've got you can't just

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: slack off and come and see us.

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm on the early ship. But don't worry. I'll always make.

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Time for you to We're thrilled to hear it.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: Now.

12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Robbie Williams has opened up about his sex life and

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: it's not as salacious as you'd imagine.

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's a bit of a far cry

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: from the Robbie Williams of a decade ago. But he's

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: done an interview with his wife Ada Field and they

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: basically said that they have a sexless marriage but that

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 3: they're not unhappy about it. So he has stopped taking

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: testosterone which he was using to treat depression, and he

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: basically attributes that to his libido plummeting that that that's

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: just the way it is for them now.

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: And how have people responded to this? Because everyone who's

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: in a long term relationship goes few because you hear

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: stories about everyone saying they're doing it four times a week, etc.

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: Have people said, what are relief to have an honest appraisal?

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that there's generally a feeling that it's

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: refreshing to sort of see someone this famous, and especially

28
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: someone with the Robbie Williams kind of bad boy reputation,

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: be so candid about this sort of a thing. I

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 3: guess it's not really something that we see spoken about

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: in public at that level. But he sort of said that,

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: you know, when he was on the testosterone, that they

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: were going out it like rabbits all the time, couldn't

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: keep their hands off each other, and that he misses

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: that time in their life, but you know, now they

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: have such a closeness and a friendship. And Ada had

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: some interesting comments about sort of what we think intimacy is,

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: and she said, you know that there is this perception

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: that sex is the only way a couple can be

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: intimate them. She says, they're always cuddling and holding hands

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: and kissing and touching on the sofa and whatever, and

42
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: that they are really close to each other, but it's just,

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: you know, not necessarily textbook definition of what we think

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: relationship should be. But she said they're on the same

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: page and they're happy, and he seems pretty happy too.

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: There you go, up Jones, he was sort of pulling

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: a face and he said, they like cuddling, holding hands

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: on the cat. But the downside of a relationship for you, Brandon,

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: not at all.

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: I like all that stuff. I like all that stuff,

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: but when you think about sex, it's kind of weird

52
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: when you really think about sex. Sex is kind of

53
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: weird when you look at it.

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Well, where's this conversation.

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: When you think about when you just think about the

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: actual the act of sex, Like, animals don't have sex

57
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: for fun, do they?

58
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: Apparently dolphins do, but dolphins do yeah, yeah.

59
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: And people say that, how do you know, Like, how

60
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: do you know that?

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Because they don't. They probably have looked at how they

62
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: procreate and they have sexual relations separate to when they're

63
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: on cycle or something.

64
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Right, But it's interesting that there is this pressure.

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: I guess that, you know, a joyous union must mean X,

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: Y and Z, and I guess it's interesting to see

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: people at this level of that profile kind of coming

68
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: out and saying we want to be together. We love

69
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: each other and at different stages, we have different stresses,

70
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes we want to, sometimes we don't,

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: but you know, it doesn't necessarily render their marriage.

72
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Unhappy, which is something that most people in normal life know,

73
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: but you rarely hear someone a big rock star who's

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: famous for his sort of sexual escapade to sexy kind

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: of persona saying it.

76
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: But Tommy's always working on his bonze eyes. Now have

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: you seen that?

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to see that. I mean, good for him.

79
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: He's got a channel it somewhere. He's going to chop

80
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: down enormous trees and make them small his bond size

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: someone else's enormous oak.

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: I did like a quote from Robbie in this interview

83
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: where he said sometimes Ada will look at him and

84
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: say we should do sex, and he'll be eating a

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: tangerine and sort of drug and he says, you know,

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: sometimes we try tangerine.

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: It's got appeal.

88
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,120
