WEBVTT - Do We Have Full Frontal Double Standards? 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:12.720 This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:14.640 welcome back to an episode of Life Uncut. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:15.960 I'm Laura, I'm Brittany. 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.439 We have all just come back from Melbourne for the 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.160 weekend where we all had very very different weekends. 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.400 We had the same weekend with different experiences. We all 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:27.040 went down to the F One. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.680 It was definitely different. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.080 We went to the Grand Prix, which where well, I 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.800 don't know. I don't want to speak on behalf of you, Laura. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.760 I'm currently obsessed with the F One. I was obsessed 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.360 before I went because I got sucked into watching Drive 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.879 to Survive, which is the documentary on the F One. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.800 If you guys haven't seen it, I recommended it a 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.159 few weeks ago. It's I completely forgot that it was 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:49.920 your vibe as well. I haven't seen it yet, but 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:50.800 I should watch that. 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.040 I alsuly think it's funny that it's called a documentary, 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.080 which I know it is actually listed as a documentary, 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.720 but to me, it seems a lot more like reality TV. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.000 PR propaganda. 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.000 I wouldn't I actually wouldn't say it's propaganda. 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.320 It's properly a bit strong. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.640 You get my point, I don't to me, a documentary 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.280 isn't as interesting, so I see why they would make 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.280 it into something that's a bit more thrilling. 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.840 That's weird. Documentaries are so interesting. You love documentaries. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.360 I like the way that Netflix now make documentaries which 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.520 I don't necessarily think are documentaries. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.959 I think it's an opinion of a story, which is 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.760 what I think the drive to survive it. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.399 I think they've done a very good job from what 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.480 I've heard of sprinkling like a little bit of like 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.560 Desperate Housewives or whatever it's called in there. 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.440 It's like like the Kimon not Desperate Housewives. Real house 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.640 watched the whole series. Let me tell you about it, 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.039 Real Housewives of the track. 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.479 It's what is spread Housewives? Please don't come for me. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.640 What it does, and I think it's brilliant. I think 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.640 it's doing a great thing for sport. Every single individual sport, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.920 if you haven't noticed, are releasing their own documentaries basketball, football, golf, 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.760 whatever it is they're putting a documentary and it's making 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.040 the sport grow to completely new levels. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.800 Even when we saw like the Aussie Matilda's. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.120 What it's doing is just creating another level of connection, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.640 another parasocial relationship, where the second that you feel connected 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.400 to anything in anyone it's like the number one marketing 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.800 tool for any business. It doesn't matter whether your jewelry, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.040 it doesn't matter whether you're Coca cola. It's forming a connection. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:24.000 So people are getting to know these athletes and these drivers. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.360 There are parts of the story where they're talking about 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.400 his father passing away and how he wanted to complete 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.160 this race and get into the F one from F 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.400 two before his dad died, and all of a sudden, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.720 you're connected and you fall in love with the journey 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.080 in the process, and then you love the sport because 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.280 you love the person. I think it was done brilliantly 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.920 and that is why we've seen bigger crowds than ever. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.520 Yeah, it's very evident. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.000 This year was like the most incredible turnout for the 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.200 Formula One and like we went a few years ago 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.160 and don't get me wrong, like I absolutely love it. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.560 Like we had such a great time. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.360 I say it was a different experience because I took 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.600 my children and you guys were off like being at 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.960 a sip champagne in a box where and I was 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.679 on a ferris wheel, which they had a great time 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.919 and it was a fan, I reckon I had the 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.680 number one view of the entire race course. 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.240 But it's just it's a different experience when you do 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.680 things with your kids first, when you get to have 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.200 a babysitter. That's all I'm saying. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.000 It was a choice you made. I don't know where 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.720 to go that was. That was your choice. I had 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:19.400 a great one. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:20.600 Your choice. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:21.960 Just on that thing that you were saying about it 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.080 becoming more popular, Brere, I listened to a podcast and 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.760 I thought, this is so interesting. So this is in 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.760 North America alone, so I don't know about worldwide stats, 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.880 but apparently the streaming rights of the Formula one used 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.080 to be sold for about five million dollars per year. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.280 That has increased to seventy five million dollars per year. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.080 So that gives you a bit of a scale of 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.080 like the popularity, and I know that whenever this happens. 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.080 I also think it happens with bands when they become 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.640 into the pop culture space and people are like, I 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.839 was an original fan. You didn't like them back when 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.040 I did. I feel like that's happening to the F 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.360 One now, where people are like, no, I was into 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.240 this before all of you blow ins go into it 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.560 because a net which is fair, Yeah, which is totally fair. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.480 No, But also, I mean we were talking about it before, 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040 and I think it's an important point. For so long, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.560 so many sports were inaccessible to women, like they really were, 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.560 and I think things like having a docu series that 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.719 also creates. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.240 An emotional connection. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.200 It's not just about the sport or the intricacies of 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.839 the sport, but it's about the people. That's something that 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.040 as and I don't want to stereotype, but I would 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.840 say that as women, we have like a deep connection 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.839 for and enjoy the storytelling element of it, and it 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.400 allows people to get into a sport that's probably for 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.120 a very long time felt quite utherly or arbitrary and 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.680 not accessible to a lot of women. So like when 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.600 sport was only catering to a specific gender population and 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.440 now it's opened itself up across the spectrum. It just 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.760 shows how that's influencing the spectator numbers and influencing the 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:49.960 experience of people there. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:50.440 Like it was. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.560 Truly, it was a phenomenal weekend. I know you guys 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.799 have seen so many photos and stuff across social media, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.120 but it was a very very cool. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.040 Experience to be a part of it. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.760 Just one last thing I want to say is about 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.159 the connection and things like I'm so deep into the 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.000 fin right now, and my whole algorithm now is spitting 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.000 out weddings and f one. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.080 But Lewis Hamilton, who everyone knows that name, right. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.400 He's one of the well I think he is the 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.440 greatest race car driver of all time. If he's not, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:18.560 he's up there. His story, you cannot not love him. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.200 Like his story of growing up as a kid, super 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.880 super poor. His dad so determined to give him what 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:25.600 he needed. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:26.360 To be a race car driver. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:27.800 He got him in his go kart that was like 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.839 not secondhand or third hand, fifth hand. 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.960 He put it back together, he painted it, he wrote 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.240 his numbers on it. He had to work three jobs 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:35.080 for ten years. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.200 He went to work at like four am in the 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.920 morning for his first job, and he would get home 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.280 really late at night to give everything to Lewis and 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.080 seeing their connection and when they talked about that story 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.960 and knowing that it all paid off and he became 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:50.320 one of the greatest drivers of all time. 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:51.839 That is what sucks. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.720 People into being connected, because you're like you are there 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:55.480 for their journey. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.400 He's a hero story. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:57.400 It's a hero story. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.200 But when you see that stuff, you follow the sport 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.280 just as much for the sport as much for the person. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.800 And I think that's what has happened to me with 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.040 the F one is I really got sucked into their 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.400 individual stories, which made me love the sport, if that 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:09.920 makes sense. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.039 Brittany is now a bonafide redhead. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:13.600 Also, I grofat you with my dad. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.480 I also just want to say, like, this is not 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.720 a paid ambassador, No it's not. I just love it 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:18.599 for the osgipay. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.160 We just had a really really great weekend, genuinely a 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:21.760 great weekend. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.760 But what one thing I did do has nothing to 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.120 do with the F one, but Keisha and I had 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.560 to go. Keisha long story short, has an infected toe. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.200 It's probably gonna fall off. She broke a toe with 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.160 a coffee machine. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.560 Yeah, I don't know if it's broken, but I dropped 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.839 a coffee group head just in the wrong spot. I 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.359 don't understand how it caused this much pain, but a 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.760 lot of life is thank you to them. They reached 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.480 out and told me that I needed to do this 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.080 thing where you like, I'm not going to go into 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.200 the graphics of it, but released the pressure from my 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:48.880 toes so. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.719 That you put a hole in your toenail, yeah, a 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:51.440 melted one. 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.120 Yeah, that's fine. I mean you don't have to go 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.960 to those details. Could just say a hole in your time, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.440 don't let the pressure come out. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:56.839 Yes. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.880 And so my time at the f one was so 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.320 chai hi is such low lows because I was in 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.520 so much pain and like hobbling around, but I wanted 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.719 to be there so badly that I was like, I'm 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.840 just trying to ignore the fact that I can see 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.920 my heart beat in my toe like I. 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:12.920 Can see the poles. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.240 I did have Keisha's foot on my lap a lot 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:16.720 of the time because I was like, elevate your foot, 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.600 that her ranky little foot had to go up on 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:19.040 my legs. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.640 Why don't you ever let me put my foot on 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.400 your legs because Keisha's was a coffee ground. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.520 Keisha's was life or death.

You walk out of there 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:25.560 with so much stuff. 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.720 You walk in there for antibiotics and you walk out 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.600 with like a hair scout, massage, body brush. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:31.480 I left Kisha. 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.040 I left Kisher at the prescription area and I was 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.880 going down the aisle and I knew that I needed 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:37.880 to get a new. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.720 Well I didn't need to, but I needed any electric toothbrushes. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.480 You needed one? 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.840 Yeah, yeah, because the head was gross on mine anyway, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.080 So I went down the can. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.199 Just buy the bit. You don't have to buy a 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:46.760 whole new one. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:47.400 Well that's what I did. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.800 I bought the bit, but I couldn't find them anyway. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.360 So I went down the aisle until there was like 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:52.600 weirdly limited staff. 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:53.920 Maybe they're on smoko. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.640 It was Sunday morning and it was like nine o'clock 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:57.480 that just opened. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.720 So I went down the isisland. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:00.760 I saw one of the guys I was working there, 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.240 and he was like rearranging. He was in the protein aisle, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.360 like you know, it was a protein guy. So he 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880 was like rearranging all the bars and the protein powders. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:09.840 And so I went up to him and I said. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.480 Hey, do you know where the electric toothbrushes up? And 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.840 he's like, no, I don't, sorry, and I said okay. 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:19.920 He just turned around. I was like, well, do you 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.520 mind finding out for me? And he turns around. He's like, 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.840 I don't work here, and I was like, oh my god. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.360 I was like, I'm so sorry. I thought you were 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.840 rearranging the protein powder. That's why I asked. He's like, 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.400 I am, I'm just trying to find my flavor. And 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:34.600 I was like, my mistake. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:35.880 I just walked. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.200 Had a good day to you, sir. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.600 I was like, you have a protein field daser. I 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:42.360 was so embarrassed. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.920 It like shuffles up to me. I'm waiting ships and 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.160 she's like, we need to leave, we need to get 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.439 out of here. And I was like, I gotta wait 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.160 for my prescription, like because I was. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:50.920 Just like, how rude was He just fully. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.840 Turned He's like, no, sorry, turned around and I was like, cool, 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.120 do you mind asking? 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.000 You ask? 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:58.120 You go ask? 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.120 Was there anything about his person like or what he 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.400 was wearing, Like was he wearing a Temist Warehouse T shirt? 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.000 Like he actually was not. 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.640 No, but he was wearing a polo shirt that was 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.040 quite tight because he had muscles. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.360 That was irrelevant of the story. You're wearing a polo shirt. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.040 So from side on as I was walking down, it 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.760 looked like it could have been a work polo shirt. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.840 But it turns out he wasn't. He was probably on 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:20.920 his way to his own job. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.640 Yeah, this reminds me. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.360 I mean, I feel like everyone's had mistaken identity moments 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.600 in their life, but this reminds me of when I 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.319 was walking down the main street in Paddington, like near 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.880 five Ways if anyone's from Sydney, and I was walking 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.640 down there and I had a coffee in hand, and 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.760 I was like, just go on about my day, and 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.800 then I saw a girl who was a customer of mine, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:39.920 or at least I thought she was. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.600 She kind of looked at me and then I looked 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:42.960 at her and I was like, hey, babe, how. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:43.360 Are you going. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.559 Couldn't really remember replace it. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.160 I couldn't place it, but I was like, I think 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.440 she's a Tony made customer. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.520 And she just looked at me kind of weird. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.400 And then as I got closer, I was like, oh, 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:57.319 that's Natalie and Broulian. I don't love it's not my customer. 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:04.599 Are you torn? No, hey babe, are you naked on 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:05.040 the floor? 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:05.079 No? 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.120 No, that's not it. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.400 Crying yeah I was. But anyway, well, look I have 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.720 a random update for you guys. It's not a happy 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.080 positive exciting one, but it is kind of a bit 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.880 of an advocate for your own health conversation, which I 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.200 think is an important one to have. So a couple 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.080 of months ago, in September, actually it was last year, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:27.480 I'd had like a lot of just niggling discomfort, which 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.000 I think a lot of people would put down to 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.960 like period pain and like that kind of. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.839 Annoyances, you know, Like I feel like it's so common 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.520 to feel discomfort down there. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:38.960 Totally down there, like we're not allowed to say it, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.640 and like, okay, this is too much information for you guys, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.920 but like when do we have a hold back after 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.640 having sex? I would feel that kind of pain in 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.040 my sight a bit, and it was not overwhelmingly painful, 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.319 but it was just kind of annoying. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.800 It's not that big doesn't stab here hitting my lungs, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.160 and so like I was getting chest pain into sex, 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:58.439 and I. 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:05.080 Just thought my throat was tickling, and then I was 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.360 getting like a headache my brain. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.719 I think you went all the way it gave me asthma. No, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.880 I just had a bit of pain in my side. Anyway, 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.880 this has been going on for like quite a few months, 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.880 and I didn't really you know, with that type of 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.160 like niggling annoyances, you often just put it off and 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.000 put it off because you're like, oh, it'll. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.560 Go away, and also like standard woman. 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.760 Totally and then it didn't go away anyway. I ended 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.680 up going to my GP, who preferred me to go 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.880 and get an ultrasound, and in September they when they 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.600 did the first ultrasound, they found that I had a 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.280 five centimeter cyst on my ovary, which they weren't like 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.439 too alarmed about. They were like, yeah, it's kind of big, 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.839 but it's not so big that we need to do 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:40.520 anything about it. 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.640 It's not small, Like five centimeters is not small. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.600 No, it's not small, but it's like, I guess it's 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.960 kind of just. The response to it was more like 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.840 a just wait and see and keep coming back and checking. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.680 The reason why I wanted to talk about this is 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.079 because I feel like, and I know that so many 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.600 women experience this, Like if you have endometriosis or PC 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.080 aware so whatever else going on in your life, the 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.160 healthcare system around accessibility when you have something wrong with 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.560 you from a gynecological sense, the weight times are so 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.680 obnoxiously long, so for me to get in to go 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.680 and see a gynocologist to specifically see about an ovarian 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.120 cyst that's not deemed as high high risk. The weight 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.679 was like six to eight months, right, So we've been 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.400 keeping a track on it so far, and it's now 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.800 at eight centimeters and I'm in a lot of constant 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.800 discomfort with it. And so I went for my scan 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.560 yesterday and it's now an eight centimetersyst, which seems pretty dramatic. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.320 And it was the first time getting a scan where 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.760 actually someone seemed to be as alarmed about it as 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.959 what I've been. And for me, it was a very 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.760 validating feeling, not because I want anyone to be like 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.760 stressed out about it. You know, I'm not losing sleep 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.400 about it, but I'm in constant discomfort and have just 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.400 become so used to that being normal when it shouldn't 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.920 be normal, and it's very fucking frustrating. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.280 Yeah, speaking of that, I had a friend call me 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.080 a couple of days ago. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:00.240 We were supposed to go on. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.800 A little vac soon, and she's like, I can't go. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.960 I've had to have my fourth emergency and demetrius of surgery. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.800 But even that, she's like, it cost me fourteen thousand. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.559 Dollars and there's no rebaths and stuff, no rebates what 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.720 there is, but it's so minimal tiny. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.319 She's like literally fourteen thousand dollars and even to get 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.680 that done as something that was deemed level category four like, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.440 so she has it so badly. It was like six 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.080 or seven months waiting for that and then it cost 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.400 her an I'm in a leg and she has to 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.400 get it. This is the fourth time she's had it 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.560 because it just grows back. So the money that she 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.040 spends on just trying, she can't work. It's so bad, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.360 and it's deemed as not a priority, not an emergency, 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.760 not something that should be rebated. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.680 Well, I guess the thing that I'm in the midst 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.720 of at the moment and sort of like unsure about 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.800 what the processes is is like, so now I'm in 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.400 a situation where I have an eight centimeter O very insist, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.200 but there is still not an outcome. The wait is 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.120 still so long to go and see an actual gynecologist 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.760 around what the processes are. So even though I had 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.600 the scans and I can go back to my GP, 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.320 I still don't have clarity on what to do. And 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.240 it's been deemed as potential risk of tors so like 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.520 your ovary can twist and then you lose your ovary, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.560 you know, And it's like, okay, so we're all on 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.080 the same page with this now, but what am I 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.400 supposed to do with this information? 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.160 And I don't know. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.600 I just feel like there must be so many women 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.160 who go through these processes and then you know something's 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.520 not quite right or you have an outcome, but the 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.640 weight times are just so frustratingly long to be able 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.800 to do anything about it. And it's not just the 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.120 weight times, it's the cost of it. Every scan is 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.240 so expensive, the cost to go and see a gynocologist 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.400 is outrageously expensive, and then the rebates are so minimal. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.160 So I guess like the reason why I want to 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.800
