0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I've been dealing with all day?

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Flatulence?

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Is this a trick question?

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you notice something that you never you just never

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 2>wear it on the day today?

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 3>A stick on bra? You do have your hand down.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Look why do you have that? Because you've got like

0:00:58.520 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a little razorbackshirt on.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I've got it. Yeah, I decided to wear a stick

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 3>on bra.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>But like you know, these things are like pretty much

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 2>a one use only situation.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 3>Has been used. I saw it on Lola's face the

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 3>other day.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been running this stick on bra for like three

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>oh god, maybe three months now. I'll even work to

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>the wedding. Got super sweaty and it has not been

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>stuck to my breast all day. It's been hanging about

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 2>three centimeters below my breath. Every time I've been down,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>one just goes and.

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Those stick on bras was still a think like to people, still,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>where do you even get that?

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 3>From? David Jones? So it's the thing. I have so

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>many of them, like why are you holding in your

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 3>hands showing.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Like and look even Lawla's like unpeeled some of the

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>sticky from the inside of it.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 3>This looks like it's five years old. Could be. It's disgusting.

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Should I Now?

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna sit here and do the rest of the

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>record with my nipples.

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 3>The nipples are big right now.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh thank you. I'm getting my stick on bra back

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>on lucking me anyway, we have a great episode planned

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>for you, guys. You have a bit of a story

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that you, for some reason won't share with me until

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>we turn the MIC's on, So better be bloody good.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I had to just have a.

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Line just this morning this happened. I don't know if

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you guys have noticed. You haven't said anything, so I

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think you've noticed that my hair has been looking

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different, like it's quite lush.

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 2>No, but you always have extension, No, it's quite shiny though.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>No, No, okay.

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I feel like your hair goes through so many

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>different variations of who it wants to be that when

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>we have a change, it's kind of like when you

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>go through a bad breakup. Most people cut a fringe. Yeah,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 2>just every two weeks change the hair like blonde, short,

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>long stension.

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I have noticed myself this week, right, I thought my

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>hair was looking really shiny.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 3>But I have been taking some hair tablets, so I was.

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Like healthy, shiny, yeah for hair, And.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>It's been smelling really good. But I don't know why

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it's been smelling because you know, in my hair, I

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>haven't been doing anything different. I realized that I've been

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>using a different shampoo and conditioner. I'm one of those people.

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't throw anything it gets almost empty, right,

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Shampoo conditioning ge is almost empty, so you don't throw

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it out. You just get a new one, and then

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you just accumulate like fifteen bottles in the bottom of

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:56.839
<v Speaker 1>your shower.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Also lightly moldy. If you've all seen the inside of

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>your shower britting hot, what.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Was inside of yours?

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>So yes, I said, there's like twenty bottles of different

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 1>shit in my shower, and I realized this morning I've

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>been using the shampoo conditioner, and I was like, it

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 1>just smells so good. Which one have I been using?

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Because I want to obviously no one replace it. So

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I pick up the bottle, which is a beautiful ones.

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The shampoos in this beautiful yellow bottle, the conditioners in

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.279
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful white bottle, very small niche.

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 3>Riting across the front. And I had a look and

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I said dog shampoo. I knew dog.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I knew exactly where this was going, but I didn't

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>want to take your punch one and you don't.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Been using Delilah's shampoo and conditioner.

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>It's lemon, myrtle, It's perfect for your coat, It's beautiful.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like my man is really shiny and my

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>coat's very healthy.

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>But I've been using it for I reckon about eight

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>days before I looked, so, do you think that it's

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>worth reinvesting in a second lot of it and just continue?

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>No one's going to shame you for using dog shampoo.

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>First on, I'm going to blame my cleaner. I think

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>my cleaner put it in the shower. I think they

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>also didn't know so because I have it in the

0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>bath in my second bathroom because that's where I often

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>will wash delight.

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>So how empty were these bottles that you decided? Were

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 2>they full bottles?

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>No, they're full ones, Okay.

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, because I was gonna say, surely unless you're not

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>the one who ever washed your dog, Like surely you

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>would have been like, oh, these look very similar to

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the bottles.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Now they were a new one that hadn't bought, that

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>hadn't used on Delilah yet. So I've been using lemon myrtle,

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 3>but like.

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>It's very Sydney like you would not know there's no

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>picture of a dog on there, because I know people

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>at home and thinking, do you not remember when I

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fed my nephew dog treats, not knowing that they were

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>like these organic It was not intentional, but they were

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like these beautiful organic like farmer market.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 2>They were sent along with human food. There was like

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>a little packet of trial dog treats in there, and

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>they were like doughnut shaped and I just assumed they

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>were cookies and I gave them to my nephew and

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>they were really bougie Eastern Suburbs dog treats.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And I remember we had a listener. That must

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>have been a year or two ago.

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>But they wrote in they lived in Japan and they

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>couldn't read They couldnt speak the langage yet, and they

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>couldn't read what they were buying. So they were buying

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>like dog and cat treats because it was like real

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>bougie packaging. And they didn't know until one of their

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>local friends came over and literally saw them eating the thing,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, what are you doing?

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 3>She had no idea.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>She's like, I thought these were delicious snacks. She was

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>like putting them out for her friends in everything.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what?

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it goes to show more so than us

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 2>just being revolting and not able to read the packaging.

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the standard is now too high for our pets.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're speaking to me when you say

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>that Delilah does eat air fried salmon like human grade salmon.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>But apart from that, she like meatballs in there as well.

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Now she needing really well, I did give her okay,

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I learned one I had made a grave error.

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I gave her tie. You're going to kill her and

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>you cannot give a dog's tie.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I a dog's tie.

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't get dogs, spices, garlic. It's a terrible it

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>went straight through off.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's what happened. You know how I had

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>to throw my rug out because she shat on it.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that was from the tie. What kind of

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>tie were you giving the dog? It was just the

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>chicken out of the tie, right. I would never give

0:05:58.440 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 1>her the onion and stuff. I know she can't have.

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>What I gave her was what I thought she could eat.

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not irresponsible, but I think I gave it to

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>with some rice as well. I think the sauces must

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>have just been coating the chicken still too much?

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh that's afused. Oh explosive diarrhea, Ti fice spice.

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>That's when I usually hand her over to Quisha and

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Keisha, I need some dogs in.

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Sorry.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know if you're going to start a

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>trend with this one, brit I don't know if people

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>are going to start taking on using dog shampoo. It is,

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>despite how luminous and luxurious your hair.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 3>Lo No, it's beautiful and it's all natural and orgunny

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 3>because it's good for the dogs. So it's good for

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 3>the dogs, good for me.

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>I think, all right, well, something else that's probably better

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>for humans is our sponsor on today's episode, and that

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>is doctor Lewin's Marine Collagen Peptide and Inner Beauty range. Now,

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 2>if you are wanting to incorporate more collagen into your

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>life for healthier skin and healthier hair, than marine collagen

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>peptide inner beauty liquid shots could be for you.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, this is really great if you're the kind of

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>person that doesn't like tablets or powders, which I'm not

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>a huge fan.

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Of tablets, but I will do it.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>This is the answer because it is This is like

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a little concentrated shot. You don't have to go on

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>pile up the tablets, so it's absolutely perfect.

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I do? I mix my tablets

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 3>in with honey. I used to do that too, but

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like a child.

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah okay, I'll still do it like a grown five

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>year old. Before we get into what today's episode is about,

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 2>we are talking to well, actually I'm not speaking to

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 2>logan Ury today. Brittany and Keisha did an interview recently

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>with relationship expert logan Uri.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 3>She's from him, she's their coach. She's amazing.

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>We've had her on the podcast before, but we did this.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>There was only one time that Logan was available. It

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was about a week or two ago, but it was

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>when Laura got married.

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>The reason why having Kish fill in on this interview

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>there was so perfect timing is because this conversation is

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 2>all around fuck boys. Sorry, Keisha, not that you're only

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 2>attracted to five boys, but like why are we attracted

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to fuck boys? And that Keisha and Brittany and the

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 2>other part of this is around the sunk cost fallacy. Now,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 2>something that we've touched on on this podcast before is

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>this idea that if you're in a relationship it's safe,

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you kind of know what you know and you know

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>what you're getting, that it's easier and better to stay

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>in it than it is to risk that relationship for

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>something better when you're not happy. It's like people who

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 2>stay in relationships long past they're used by date just

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 2>because the fear of starting again is so great.

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>And Logan, she's an author, she's a behavioral scientist, she

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>does work for Hinge as a dating coach. She knows

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>her stuff, so she's the most perfect person to talk

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to about this.

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, something I want to speak about before we

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 2>get into the interview with Logan Uri is something that

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure so many of you have seen in the

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 2>news and across social media in the last couple of days,

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>and that is a Lenciaga and their wildly controversial campaigns

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 2>that have come to light in the last.

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Week, or as I like to think of it, they're

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 3>what the actual fuck campaign? What the actual fuck? What

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 3>the actual fuck will Balenciaga thinking now?

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 2>So for anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about,

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>basically this all started last week. There was a campaign

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>that was launched and it was a Teddybear BDSM style

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Teddybear that was modeled by a child, a little girl

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 2>standing in different areas within a room that was kind

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of like a lound room, and surrounding her were empty

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 2>wine glasses and also other objects that could pertain to

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>being sex toys.

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 3>Now, it has.

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Been very widely criticized, and there's also been a secondary

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 2>campaign that's come to light.

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 2>This has come to light in the last week as well.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 2>And this is a picture of the co lab that

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 2>was done between Valenciaga and Addedas And it's a flat

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 2>late image of a handbag and court documents like paperwork.

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>It's obviously taken in what's meant to be like a

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 2>lawyer's office on the desk.

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Yah, it looks very busy, like very important, this really

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.199
<v Speaker 1>nice designer handbag with someone that's you know, got.

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 3>A lot to do.

0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 2>And one of the pieces of paperwork that's brought out

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>on the desk is actually a court document from the

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight Supreme Court ruling on child pornography. Now,

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 2>when you layer these things together, when you look at

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.959
<v Speaker 2>the images around the BDSM Teddy Bear that features this

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 2>little child, and then you look at this separate campaign

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 2>that has court ruling documents around child pornography, it really

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 2>is hard to kind of argue the case that this

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 2>isn't trying to sexualize children.

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's not.

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Even one child, Laura, it's there's a few different girls

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>in this campaign.

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Shoot.

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 1>It's not even just one. Like they've gone out of

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 1>their way. They've got multiple little models and they put

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>them in multiple different compromising positions. It's discussing and it's

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>hard to look at For me. This doesn't take an

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>eagle eyed sleuth to discover this, to unpack it. You

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>look at the photo, there's only one real piece of

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>information you can read in the photo, like all these

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>pages that are scattered everywhere, and there's this one piece

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of information. They're not dumb. They're one of the biggest

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>brands in the world. They know someone's going to say,

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>wonder what that is.

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 3>That's what people do. For some reason, unbeknownst to me

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>or anyone in the world.

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We cannot figure it out. They have wanted to hone

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>in on this. I don't even know what to call it.

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know whether to call it a topic. But

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>they've decided to go down this track of involving children,

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and I can't work out why. It's almost like we

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>had a discussion about this, you and I, Laura, not

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that long ago, in regards to this new Jeffrey Dahmer

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Netflix show that book The World by Storm, We had

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a discussion about.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Is it too far? Is it too much?

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Because they are hollywoodizing the idea of true crime and

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>it's gone to the next level.

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 3>It's so real, it's so it made it look so glamorous.

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 3>It was so over the top, and.

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they're doing the same now with this campaign

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 1>with blens Yaga. It's almost like they need to keep

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.080
<v Speaker 1>pushing the extremes to be spoken about. And I just

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 1>think this one has gone too far, Like where do

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>we draw the line if for a fashion brand, the

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>only thing that they can think of is I have

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a brilliant idea.

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Let's get a three year old or multiple three year.

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Olds and put bondage bears and court documents relating to

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like child yeah, child exploitation. Who in their right mind

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>approved that? And this is the thing, right, there's a

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of blame shifting brands that are this big. There's

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>not one person that sits back and says, I have

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 1>an idea, I'll call a photographer, let's pressico. This goes

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>through so many people for approval.

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I think the thing that's really important about

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>this is not only I guess like it's one thing

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>for a brand to claim ignorance. And when you say

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 2>blame shifting, brit there's been a lot that's happened in

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of days where Balenciaga as a brand

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 2>is suing the creative directing agency. So there's an agency

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 2>called North six and they're the ones that were responsible

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>with coming up with the creative direction of this campaign.

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Balenciaga has opened a twenty five million dollar core case

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>against them to try and sue for damages. But as

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a brand, when your brand has been built on pushing

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the social norms, Balenciaga's brand has been built on controversy

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in the last couple of years, and the amount of

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 2>pr that they get from creating incredibly controversial content, this

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to me is not It's not an accidental Oh, we

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that this was going to be included. Maybe

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Balenciaga wasn't aware that that specific piece of paper, that

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>specific court document was going to be included. But the

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 2>issue is is that this conversation hasn't come up because

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 2>there was one image that pertained to child sexual assault.

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 2>The reason why this has become so huge is because

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>when you put BDSM bear together and you put together

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>the flat lay image, it was their overall intention to

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 2>be shocking. And the question is is, obviously, has this

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>gone too far? I think in the court of public opinion,

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the answer is absolutely yes.

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, this is what frustrates me and where I want

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to call bullshit is that I do there's like a

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of blame shifting, But this is what Balanciaga came

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 1>out with their statement and said, we take this matter

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>our Spring twenty three campaign photoshoot. We strongly condemn abuse

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of children in any form. We stand for children safety

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and wellbeing. Now, the thing that I'm calling bullshit on

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>is that's all well and good, right. What they're saying

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>is there were unapproved items that we you know, so

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we didn't sign off on it.

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Someone's taken creative control and done it. That's fine.

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 1>There is no way Balanciaga releases that campaign without then

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.719
<v Speaker 1>reviewing the images and saying, yes, it doesn't happen. It

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>will never in a million years happened. So even if

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>someone has gone, I've got this brilliant idea. All this

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>shit wasn't supposed to be in there, let's put it

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>in there, it still goes back to Blooneiaga. They still

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>tick it off and say brilliant, that's what we wanted

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to Thank you, here's your money, let's go live.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Well. Absolutely, and I think also on top of that,

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>for all of these high fashion designer creative concept campaigns,

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>there are so many cooks, there are so many eyes

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 2>on this creative because nothing walks out of the door

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 2>of a high end fashion brand that hasn't been scrutinized over.

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>There's so many millions of dollars that go into creating

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>these ad campaigns, so I think to try and shift

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the blame is a way of trying to save face.

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I also thought it was very interesting not only is

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Balenciaga trying to shift blame and say that you know

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that they weren't aware that there was items that they

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't have full insight or overview over that were included

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>in their campaigns. The thing is they're only trying to

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>sue North six for that one image, for that one

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>document that was included. Nothing has been said about the

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 2>BDSM bear and the inclusion of children, because obviously they

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>were completely across that campaign, so that has not a

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 2>leg to stand on for them to be able to

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 2>sue in that. Now, this comes back to what we

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>just spoke about in terms of high end fashion brands

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 2>really pushing controversial concepts as part of their ad campaigns

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 2>as a way of generating pr I guess the thing

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 2>that I think is really interesting is that fashion has

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a long history of sexualizing children, not in such obvious ways,

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 2>but in terms of like using very prepubescent young girls

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>to model what should be for an adult. Now, obviously

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>this is well and truly gone far past that because

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>it is a toddler modeling something that has been created

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>for an adult. But it's blurring the line between what

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 2>is for a child and what is something that we

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>see as being very sexualized.

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>They did do a homeless Range, and I'm using that

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>inverted commas Blenciaga in conjunction with Kanye West, that was

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>inspired by, for want of better word, homelessness, which is

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely wild and so out of touch. You think of

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the people that are collaborating and making Range. A billionaire's

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like a billionaire company, a billionaire individual that have come

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>together and.

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Said, what I feel like is, let's take the piss

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 3>a little bit here.

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think it's taking the piss. I think

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the reason is dusting. Yeah, but the reason is to

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>make people angry, and by making people angry, it generates

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 2>this huge pr machine.

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's to make yeah, mayb people angry,

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>not about the issue at heart, though, just to spark conversation,

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like look at this shoe, Laura, I don't know if

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you've ever seen.

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Their homeless range. That shoe is made to just look

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 3>like somebody had and how much do they sell it? For?

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Thousands of dollars? Yeah, it's crazy.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>It's made to look like somebody has not been able

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to afford shoes for ten years, and I have worn

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the same pair of shoes everywhere they've gone.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think we'll put the picture of these

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 2>shoes up on our social media. We're not going to

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>put up the picture of the child with the teddy.

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>If you guys want to look at it, you can

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>go and google it yourselves, because I don't want to

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>be responsible for further disseminating that sort of images. But

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I think like the big part of this as well

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>is is that it's core to Balenciaga's actual strategy around

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>growing their brands. So in twenty fifteen they on a

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 2>new director called Demna Versalia. Now Demna Versalia has been

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 2>responsible for them taking a far more controversial slant in

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.800
<v Speaker 2>how they create their content. And interestingly, since Demna has

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 2>come on board, the sales for Balenciaga has quadrupled. Like

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the concept of making shocking fashion has definitely been beneficial

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>up until this point. A quote I found really interesting

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that came in September twenty twenty two from Vogue. Now,

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Demnah said fashion should not please. The most important quality

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>is the lack of fear, because fear blocks creativity, and

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>if you're trying to please, then you're never going to

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>make it. You should instead not please. Now, I think

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 2>we can all agree that Demna has well and truly

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 2>achieved the objective of creating a campaign that was to

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>displease enough people. The amount of pr that this has

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 2>generated for all the wrong reasons is truly unbelievable.

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I think we can all agree that Demnah is a dickhead.

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Demna our mate, Demna is done.

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, like, when do cancel culture come into this.

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Do we think that Balenciaga will bounce back?

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Because there are a lot of tweets going arounds from

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 1>high profile people saying Blenciaga's canceled.

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 3>In my eyes, you know they're on that train.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>But then the world was waiting with baited breath for

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Kim Kardashian to release a statement because Kim's brand is

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>very much aligned with Blenciaga. Kim and Kanye were always

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>huge Balenciaga fans, ambassadors. They had very tight ties to

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the brand.

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Which also just means that she makes a fuckload of

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 2>money from the brand.

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>But she has been quiet up until literally today, which

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.159
<v Speaker 1>is Monday, so that's quite a few days. And everyone

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.479
<v Speaker 1>has been sort of saying where you at, like on

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>her comments, whyn't you commenting? And she came out and

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 1>said this. I have been quiet for the past few days,

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>not because I haven't been shocked and outraged by the

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 1>recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>speak to their team to understand for myself how this

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>could have happened. As a mother of four, I have

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>been shaken by those disturbing images. The safety of children

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>must be held with the highest regard, and anything against

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it should have no place in our society period. I

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:07.600
<v Speaker 1>appreciate Balenciaga's removal of the campaign and apology. In speaking

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 1>with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>issue and will take the necessary measures for this to

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 1>never happen again. Now, to me, this reads I'm a mother.

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I am not happy with this, but they pay me

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 1>too much, so I'm not going to be stepping away

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>from the brand. This is how I took it, which

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.959
<v Speaker 1>I think is pretty obvious to say. You know, they

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>said they're sorry and they won't happen again.

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 3>And we said it before.

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>The brand, in our eyes, as a consumer, as someone

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that's sitting back taking a back seat, watching the brand,

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 1>is to blame. I can't see how there is a

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>way around that. I know there's pointing fingers, but lord,

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you I mean on a much smaller scale, but you

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:40.880
<v Speaker 1>do shoots.

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.879
<v Speaker 3>You're a brand, you do much much smaller Yeah, but you.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 3>But I guess the idea is, you know how they work.

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it at all possible that this has somehow slipped

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 1>through a company's fingers of this level?

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I reckon Ultimately, in this every single player, every single

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 2>person who was in those photo shoots played a commonsing

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 2>part in what the outcome was. But the buck stops

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 2>with Balenciaga because there and as we said, their entire

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>brand recently has been based on trying to be controversial,

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>in towing that line where fashion meets social issues, where

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it really questions, but not only questions, it really pushes

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.679
<v Speaker 2>the boundaries on what isn't isn't acceptable within society, and

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Balenciaga very much in this instance, has taken

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it so far that it's going to be at the

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 2>detriment of the brand being canceled. Because there's a difference

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.120
<v Speaker 2>when you talk about adult concepts and you use children,

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.679
<v Speaker 2>who we are so fiercely protective of because they are

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 2>the most vulnerable people of our society. It's just not

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 2>something that is open for interpretation.

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 3>The very last thing I want to add is that

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I do find interesting, but they they're covering it very well.

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Is Balenciaga have wiped their entire Instagram. But they have

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 3>done that before.

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 1>They've done it since twenty twenty one, but usually from

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>what we can see, they do it before.

0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 3>A campaign is coming out. You know a lot of

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 3>people do that for hype.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>They have done it now, but it looks like they've

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>done and after the fact they saying this is something

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>we always do, which is very convenient around probably the

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 1>biggest controversy they've ever had.

0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 3>But I just find that an interesting move.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 2>What do you think do you think this is going

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to be the end of Blenciaga.

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't, It'll be possibly, but I think they

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 1>will do some amazing pr it'll be something really positive.

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.920
<v Speaker 1>They'll do a very safe campaign. It'll be swept under

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the rug, they'll make a huge apology, they'll point the finger,

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and Blenciaga will be back on track.

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 3>In a month. I think it's just a little tiny

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 3>speed bump.

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And I honestly think that this will in the future,

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.440
<v Speaker 2>not now, obviously, because this is terribly negative pr that

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>they're receiving, but I actually think, and especially from what

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.360
<v Speaker 2>we've already seen in terms of them quadrupling their sales figures,

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 2>I think controversy for brands that seem untouchable, that have

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>people like Kim Kardashian at the helm, this will in

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.679
<v Speaker 2>the future result in them actually increasing their sales. Not

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 2>because people want to lean into the exploitation of children,

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 2>but there are people who like the exclusivity that comes

0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 2>with it being so controversial.

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's get into our favorite heart accidentally unfiltered. All right,

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:07.119
<v Speaker 3>you can kick.

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It off beer, because I have one that's just real

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 2>fucking gross.

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh there's always one, isn't it. Okay?

0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:16.159
<v Speaker 1>So this literally just happened to me and rip I

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 1>met work with my boss and I've just gone to

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>google something on my phone I've opened up Safari, and

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.439
<v Speaker 1>as my boss is looking over my shoulder at my

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 1>phone with me very professional, the screen that pulls up

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.159
<v Speaker 1>is juliet Allen's sex toy shop. Last night, I was

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 1>making the most of her twenty self back Friday sailed,

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>so my page was full of beautiful crystal dildos and

0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>all sorts of toys. I panicked, I thought, this is

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 1>me done. My boss went really quiet, then she said, well,

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>those are pretty.

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 2>They are very pretty dildos. They crystal dildos. What do

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 2>you do with a crystal dildo? Do you leave it out.

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Under the moonlight to cleanse? It's alla?

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, then she goes, I blame you, guys, because Juliette

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 1>was a guest on one of your earlier shows, and

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that's how I got into her crystal dildos. So we'll

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>take responsibility. If you want to send your boss our way,

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:03.959
<v Speaker 1>that is absolutely fine. But I think she probably went

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.439
<v Speaker 1>home and ordered her own by the sounds of it.

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I think?

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I want a crystal dildo, just like I mean, what

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 2>do you do with it?

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:10.960
<v Speaker 2>When you're not do you hide that under your bed?

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Or is it so pretty that you put it out

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 2>on display.

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't put like a good juju in your vaginant, like

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:17.679
<v Speaker 1>but for your vagina.

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like do you think it's like it's better for

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.800
<v Speaker 3>you than plastic whatever.

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we highly recommend the rose Quarts one for anyone

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 2>who has a latex allergy.

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:30.479
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, it's so funny.

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.719
<v Speaker 1>So my cleaner, I've only just recently gotten a cleaner,

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.440
<v Speaker 1>so I'm still not thinking about it. I'm just a grot, right,

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Like I forget that they're coming because it's new, and

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I've got my vizil line out, like you know, like

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I haven't even put it away. I just take it

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>out of the morning put on my side table because

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>no one's over here. All these little things like that.

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>But then I forgot. I came home and my house

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 1>was immaculate. But then because I had a box of

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sex toys under the bed, they were all neatly put

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>together and off and.

0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, no, they didn't go under your bed

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 2>and put the sex toys.

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Cleaned under the entire bed, And I'm like, that's not no.

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 3>He's very thorough clean.

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 2>That is like out of bounds through cleanup. Things that

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>are under the bed are there because the cleaner is

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>not allowed to touch two.

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 3>If there, it's probably great. It's probably full of dust.

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean even the doner's probably full of dust.

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't used it in a while, but he's just

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.919
<v Speaker 2>there dusting the kye jelly and all of it.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:15.360
<v Speaker 3>We like cleaning them up.

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>No, but he had put them all in a nice

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>little box in the corner, which was great.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, look, this accidentally unfiltered is actually one that

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I I worries me because I feel like a few

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 2>people are going to relate to it. I'm get to

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 2>paraphrase it. That's why we love these. They were like, well,

0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:31.679
<v Speaker 2>I feel like a lot of people have done this.

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I actually wouldn't mind knowing how many people have done this.

0:24:35.240 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 3>They hit me.

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, hey, girls, So the other week I had my period,

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.640
<v Speaker 2>which you know, yes that's relatable. No big, no big

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 2>exciting story there. Anyway, I was on day six of

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:48.719
<v Speaker 2>my period and I thought, ah, you know, it'd been

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>leaving it a little bit long, and thought it was

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 2>time to change my tampon.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 3>As you do.

0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I go to the bathroom and I thought it just

0:24:55.960 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 2>doesn't quite smell right. Maybe maybe I bacterial that genosis

0:25:02.000 --> 0:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>we've all been there. So I pull out a tampon

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 2>only to find that there was a second tampon sitting inside.

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know.

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>If this is relatable, and I absolutely have no idea

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 2>how long it has been there for well, you.

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 3>Could probably tell by the level of cell if it

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 3>was like a skung.

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I think this is relatable. I think there are so

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 2>many people who have accidentally done this. And I mentioned

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:25.119
<v Speaker 2>it and produced a key should put a hand up.

0:25:25.640 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are people out there that have

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>done this. Yes, the double tampon, but I don't think

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.439
<v Speaker 1>it's common. I don't think it's a common occurring. What

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're really tired and you're like you get up

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>in the middle.

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I think you're taking it out and then you or

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>you're a bit drunk, Like, what if you're drunk changing

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 2>a tampon.

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I have never but I am now and I know

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you're against Laura, but you haven't given it a crack.

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I am so pro this Diva moon cup, like this

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>puir cup.

0:25:46.960 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 3>They are just so good.

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 1>If anyone out there, I know you guys are out there,

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>if you've used them, you're like preaching to me right now.

0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 1>They're like, yes, it's amazing. It's super hard to convert someone.

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 3>I try.

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I went to the Chemist and I bought

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a version of the Diva. It was like an orange one.

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 2>It kind of looks like a ball us ball. And

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I woke up in the middle of the night with pain.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I had a tumor.

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 3>It's not right. I was dying.

0:26:07.880 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what is this.

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 3>It's so big.

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 2>It was like putting a tennis ball inside my vagina.

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:13.359
<v Speaker 1>So, Mike, you got you would have got like the

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 1>really post pregnancy one.

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I just got the one for women who have

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>had two children, and I was like, it's not that wide.

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Hey, well, don't brag that you're tighter than others. So

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>my sister Sherry was trying to get me to use

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the moon cup. She'd been using it and my close

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 1>friends had been using it for years before I use it.

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Now I've been using it for a year, so they've

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 3>been using it a long time.

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 1>They would try and try and try, and I didn't

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>want to do it because I didn't get it. I

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:37.280
<v Speaker 1>thought it was gross, couldn't understand it. I finally said, fine,

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll try it. So I did exactly what you did.

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And I accidentally got the post pregnancy one because I

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>said to my sister, this is awful. Could barely get

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>it in, can't get it out.

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 3>What are you talking about? And she's like, what size

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 3>did you get?

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And so I didn't know there were sizeses. I just

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.480
<v Speaker 1>thought that one size fits all. I went back and

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>looked and I got like the real post pregnancy one,

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 1>which that's probably what you got, which is why it

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>feels uncomfortable.

0:26:58.440 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 3>It was literally like putting it.

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.439
<v Speaker 2>I was like cutting a tennis ball in half, rolling

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 2>it up and popping it inside me. I could feel everything.

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Well if if, and I want you to try again.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Brittany has her moon cup and she like flings it around.

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 2>It's like always in her handbag. One day I walked

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 2>in Delilah had it in her mouth, like that mooncup

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:15.920
<v Speaker 2>is just fucking floating around me. She'll put it, She'll

0:27:15.920 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 2>pull it out at lunch and just pop it on

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 2>the table. I have never seen someone flap a mooncup

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 2>around more.

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Delilah did it one of my moon cups. It became

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 3>one of her favorite toys. That's a whole.

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Not only did Delilah eat it it then just became

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:28.399
<v Speaker 2>her dog toy, like you'd walk into the house and

0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 2>just have a mooncup on the ground.

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, she loved it. I'm not taken from her. Okay,

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 3>this is going to let's get into the chat with Logan.

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Logan Uri is a behavioral scientist turned dating coach. She's

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.280
<v Speaker 1>the author of best selling book How Not to Die Alone,

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>which I probably need to order multiple copies of, and

0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>having every single room in my house. She also works

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 1>as the director of Relationship Science at Hinge. Logan joined

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the podcast a bit of a year ago now for

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 1>an episode called How Not to Die Alone. You can

0:27:58.000 --> 0:27:59.399
<v Speaker 1>go back and have a look at that if you

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:03.240
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard Logan, welcome again to Life uncut.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Yay, so happy to be here. Now.

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You did do an accidentally unfiltered last year when you

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 1>did it, and it was bloody brilliant, and you've just

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>now said to us, I don't think I can. The

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 1>only ones you've got are like really really really bad.

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So you don't want to redrop another accidentally unfiltered?

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Is that right? That's true?

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I feel like I really gave you my best

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 4>story last time.

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 3>Today, Logan, we would love to talk to you.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's very fitting for the episode that I'm

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 5>feeling in for Laura on because Britt and I are

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 5>both single, we're both unhinged, and we're both navigating the

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 5>dating world. And today we want to talk to you

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 5>all about the sunk cost fallacy, fuck boys and how

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 5>to get off fuck boy Island.

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I have been on fat boy Island, logan, I have

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>been stranded on this island.

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 5>We've got passports, we've got citizenship on it, We've got

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 5>every single type of thing that you could need to.

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 3>Stay on ful.

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I was on a boat that sunk

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>and then I had to like swim to save myself

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in the only place I could swim to was fuck

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 1>boy Island, and no one's come to save me.

0:28:58.800 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 4>That's so true.

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 3>And let's start with what is a fuck boy?

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's an interesting one because sometimes people are like, oh, like,

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm just having casual sex with somebody, Like, is that

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 4>a fuck boy? And I'm like, no, it's not just

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 4>about what you're doing. It's about the expectations and if

0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 4>they're leading you on. And so I would say a

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 4>fuck boy is somebody who shows you enough interest to

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 4>string you along, but then isn't actually willing to show

0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 4>up and be in a relationship with you. And I

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 4>do want to say from the beginning, you know, we're

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:25.720
<v Speaker 4>saying fuck boy, and it has boy at the end,

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 4>but it could really be anyone. It's not a certain gender.

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 4>It's just a great term to kind of describe that

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 4>person who's leading you on, but it makes it seem

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 4>like they're interested but doesn't want to be in a

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:36.760
<v Speaker 4>relationship with you.

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you said that because you can definitely have

0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 1>fuck girls too, I reckon at some stage I have

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>done that when you If you said to me, have

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.680
<v Speaker 1>you ever been a fuck girl? I would have said no,

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>as it like, I'm an amazing person. I'm so nice

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>to everybody, but when you probable not so much. I

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 1>really care about people's feelings generally speaking, but when you

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>break it down like you just said, and you're like,

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just that person that I sort of

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>keep someone around but they're not ready.

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I've definitely done that before.

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.719
<v Speaker 1>I was emotionally unavailable for a very long time, but

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I still liked people's attention, so I was like, I'll

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>just like hang out with you sometimes knowing it wasn't

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>going to go anywhere. So I think that women can

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely do that as well. But why is it You've

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 1>been talking a little bit recently about this whole idea

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of a fuck boy. Is this just having a real

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 1>moment at the moment.

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.479
<v Speaker 4>I do this work as a dating coach. I do

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 4>a lot of research where I'm talking to people about dating,

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 4>and I just feel like fuck boys are this obstacle

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 4>that are really getting in people's way because they feel like, oh,

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:35.239
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of attention is better than nothing. And

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 4>if I date this fuck boy, it's not going to

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 4>prevent me from finding somebody who does want to date me,

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 4>or I'm going to change this person. And I'm like,

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 4>if I could just get rid of all these fuck boys,

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 4>remove them from the dating ecosystem, like so many more

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 4>people would find love because when you actually are really

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 4>single and nobody's coming over and keeping you warm in

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 4>your bed, that's the motivation you need to go out

0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 4>and find somebody who actually wants to date you. And

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.920
<v Speaker 4>so I think people think these fuck boys are annoying

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.920
<v Speaker 4>or frustrating or mostly harmless. But I'm really trying to

0:31:04.960 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 4>say to people, here's why they're a problem. Here's why

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 4>you're addicted to them, and then here's how to get

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 4>over them. And I'm also talking to people about if

0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 4>you're a fuck boy, here's why, and here's what to

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 4>do about it. So, yeah, I've really gone down the

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 4>deep dive into fuck boys and it's been super interesting.

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to get into that soon too. What you

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 1>were just saying about when you sort of hang on

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>to someone for too long or keeps on your life

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for too long, that it's detrimental to your future dating.

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get into that because that's a real problem

0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>someone in this room has that's not me. Before we

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 1>do that, how can we identify the difference, like in

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the early stages of a relationship between a fuck boy

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.160
<v Speaker 1>or fuck girl or someone that just wants to have

0:31:44.200 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>sex and hang out, because that is okay.

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:48.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a great question because you could say, like

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 4>it's early stages of a relationship, they don't owe me anything,

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:53.959
<v Speaker 4>like couldn't this just be somebody that takes a longer

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 4>time to warm up. So a couple things that I

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:57.720
<v Speaker 4>would keep in mind when you're saying, is this a

0:31:57.720 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 4>fuck boy? So one of them is that their actions

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 4>and the words often don't match, and so fuck boys,

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, can do a lot of that love bombing

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 4>behavior where they're like your worth, Thea's in February, my

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 4>birthday's in February, like we have to throw a party together,

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 4>or my roommates are going to love to meet you,

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 4>and so they're promising you the world. They're talking about

0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 4>the future, but then their actions don't actually match it,

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 4>and they often cancel dates or just do not show up.

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Another thing that's a red flag for fuck boys is

0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 4>that the relationship feels like it's always happening on their terms.

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 4>So it's like you ask them to do plans and

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 4>they'll say, oh, you know, I'm busy, but like maybe

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.080
<v Speaker 4>later that night, or they send you the you up

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 4>text at ten pm, and so it's like they'll see

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 4>you when it's convenient for them. But they're definitely not

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 4>willing to put in the effort to mold their lives

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 4>to incorporate you. And then the last two I would say,

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 4>are you know they don't want to put a label

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 4>on it. They're very you know, allergic to labels, allergic

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 4>to exclusivity, something like that, and they're not introducing you

0:32:58.000 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 4>to their friends and family. I think that's a big one.

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 4>And it's like, you know, they're happy to see you

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 4>at night, or they're happy to spend time with you,

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 4>but they're not really incorporating you into their social life

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 4>or having you meet the people who are important to them.

0:33:09.840 --> 0:33:11.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about kash And I was having

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>this discussion we might go to INDP, but what do

0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you think about someone that just takes like twenty four

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:20.600
<v Speaker 1>hours to thirty hours to respond to a message when

0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>like the messages are just you just generally texting, It

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't take that long, and I know a lot of

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 1>people are busy. Do you just think that that's a like,

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't really give a fuck Avalue.

0:33:29.160 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting, Like you might be surprised by the number

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 4>of coaching clients I've had who talk about texting and

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 4>how they're bad textures and they worry that people are

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 4>going to think they're not interested. So I've had this

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 4>with guys who are just like I don't like texting.

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 4>I think it's boring. I like to put my phone

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.960
<v Speaker 4>away and concentrate on work, and I really just want

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 4>to meet up and talk on the phone. I also

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 4>have had people that are doctors or nurses where they

0:33:52.640 --> 0:33:54.720
<v Speaker 4>literally can't have their phone out all day because it's

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:57.880
<v Speaker 4>not hygienic. And so sometimes there's just people where like

0:33:58.240 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 4>they are dating despite their bad days skills, and they

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 4>do it with everyone in their life. It's not personal

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.440
<v Speaker 4>to you. And so for those people, I'm like, tell

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 4>the person from the beginning, I know I suck at texting,

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 4>it's not personal. I'm going to do my best. But

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 4>when this inevitably happens, don't jump to conclusion. So just

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 4>want to say that there is that group of people.

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 4>I think when it becomes a problem is when they

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:22.319
<v Speaker 4>do it in a way where you feel like you're

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 4>waiting for them. So you know, you say like, hey,

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 4>like do you want to go down on Saturday? And

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 4>they say yes, and then like Saturday comes and goes

0:34:28.200 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 4>and they don't respond to you. And so I'd say

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 4>there is a group of people who's just pretty bad

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 4>at texting, and you shouldn't read into it. But in general,

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.800
<v Speaker 4>if you're somebody who wants to be with a good communicator,

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 4>that text back right away, like that's something that you

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:44.080
<v Speaker 4>can filter for and either give the person feedback and

0:34:44.120 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 4>see if they'll adjust or say this person doesn't meet

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 4>my minimum threshold for how much of a texting response

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 4>I need.

0:34:51.360 --> 0:34:52.880
<v Speaker 3>And ligan, what about you Know.

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 5>Something I think I've experienced, and I think every single

0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.360
<v Speaker 5>person in the history of existence has experienced, is like,

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:03.240
<v Speaker 5>let's say you a texting with someone and everything's going great,

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:05.640
<v Speaker 5>and like, yeah, life can be busy and sometimes they

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:07.760
<v Speaker 5>might take a couple of hours to reply or whatever.

0:35:08.200 --> 0:35:11.840
<v Speaker 5>But I feel as though there's this real pivotal moment

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 5>and you can feel it in your gut, but it's

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 5>not necessarily obvious to the eye. Like I know that

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 5>I've had these things where I've gone to Britain. I've

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 5>been like, I just don't think this guy's into me anymore,

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 5>Like you know, he's he sent this message and BRIT's

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 5>like that message is fine, Like what are you talking about?

0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, nobody took like an extra.

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 5>Ten hours to respond to what he normally would like

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:35.920
<v Speaker 5>there's just these slight changes in behavior that you go, oh,

0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:38.239
<v Speaker 5>I think something has shifted. I think he's not as

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 5>into me anymore. Like what's your advice about those types

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:41.879
<v Speaker 5>of situations?

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.279
<v Speaker 3>It should you always go with your gut? Is it

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.160
<v Speaker 3>always accurate or do you think it's over thinking of

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 3>things like lots of people do.

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, those situations are so hard. Like I feel like,

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 4>even though I'm married, that's definitely something I think about

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 4>in my social life or my work life. Like, for example,

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:01.239
<v Speaker 4>the other day, I pass one of my housemates and

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:03.359
<v Speaker 4>she gave me what I thought was a dirty look,

0:36:03.360 --> 0:36:05.239
<v Speaker 4>and then I started freaking out, like, oh, she's mad

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.040
<v Speaker 4>at me, and just like went into a super spiral.

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:08.960
<v Speaker 4>And I talked to one of our other housemates and

0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 4>he was like, these are all the things that have

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:12.919
<v Speaker 4>happened to her in the last few weeks. Her look

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 4>had nothing to.

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Do with you.

0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, I wish that we could all

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:17.760
<v Speaker 4>wear a post it note on our head that said

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.239
<v Speaker 4>this has nothing to do to you, this has to

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 4>do with me, And like it was just such a

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 4>helpful reminder because I was really spiraling. And so my

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.319
<v Speaker 4>overall feeling is just in general, I think we can

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 4>be very sensitive and we can read into stuff and

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 4>we have you know, there's this thing called the fundamental

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:37.359
<v Speaker 4>attribution error. So it's a thing where let's say I

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:39.680
<v Speaker 4>am going to a date and I'm late. I know

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 4>all the reasons.

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:40.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm late.

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm late because the bus didn't show up. I'm late

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:46.239
<v Speaker 4>because there was traffic. I'm late because my boss ran

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:47.600
<v Speaker 4>by my desk at the end of the day and

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 4>asked me for a favor. Right, So I think I'm

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 4>late because of these external reasons. But when somebody else

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:56.160
<v Speaker 4>is late, I just think, Oh, they're late because they're selfish,

0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:58.080
<v Speaker 4>they're late because they're a jerk, and we just start

0:36:58.080 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 4>assigning these qualities to them, not thinking about the external circumstances.

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 4>And so for the question you asked, it's like if

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 4>you didn't respond for a while, you'd be like, this

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 4>was the craziest day the podcast broke. I had to rerecord,

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 4>like you would know the reasons. But for the guy,

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.399
<v Speaker 4>you're like, it's a sign he's not interested. He got

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 4>back together with his ex, right, and so you just

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:19.840
<v Speaker 4>think about like that his feelings have changed. And so

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 4>sometimes your intuition is right. But before you jump to conclusions,

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:25.440
<v Speaker 4>I would give the person a break and see, like,

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 4>does it go back to the way it was? Was

0:37:27.920 --> 0:37:31.480
<v Speaker 4>there maybe an external factor? And before being too upset

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 4>about it, I might call out and say, like, hey,

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 4>it seems like you've been really busy lately, like is

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:37.400
<v Speaker 4>there anything going on? And I think giving them a

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:40.080
<v Speaker 4>non aggressive question so that they can answer and let

0:37:40.120 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 4>you know, like that helps you make sure that you

0:37:42.320 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 4>don't lose a good guy who's interested but just doesn't

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 4>want to be attacked with a question like that. It's

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 4>such a good example of how I feel like we

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 4>want people to be mind readers, and we want people

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 4>to express themselves like exactly how we want and like,

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:58.560
<v Speaker 4>trust me, I do this all the time with my husband.

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 4>But I've just learned to like, if I'm more clear

0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 4>from the beginning, even if it feels like a tiny

0:38:04.120 --> 0:38:06.000
<v Speaker 4>bit embarrassing or I'm like, oh, I wish I didn't

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 4>have to say this, You're more likely to get what

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 4>you want if you're more clear, and like, obviously you

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 4>can do it in like a playful, humorous way. And

0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 4>so the reason why this comes up to me is

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 4>I was coaching somebody last week and she is like

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:22.880
<v Speaker 4>so specific about dates. So she lives in San Francisco.

0:38:23.040 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 4>She's interested in this guy who lives in LA and

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:27.759
<v Speaker 4>she's like, okay, so I'm going to be in La

0:38:28.080 --> 0:38:32.760
<v Speaker 4>on you know, November twenty first, November twenty eighth, December fifth,

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:35.279
<v Speaker 4>December seventh, Which of those dates can you hang out?

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Like really intense, intense energy? And he just wrote back

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.720
<v Speaker 4>and he was like responded to something she said about

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:43.840
<v Speaker 4>like a movie, but didn't respond about the dates. And

0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:45.719
<v Speaker 4>when she was saying like should I follow up, I'm like,

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:48.680
<v Speaker 4>you were so clear about the dates. If you wanted

0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:51.160
<v Speaker 4>to see you, he would have followed up with one

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:53.360
<v Speaker 4>of those dates or an alternative thing. So it's like

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:55.359
<v Speaker 4>you're still putting the ball in his court. He has

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 4>to make the date, but you're letting him.

0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Know, do you think?

0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is something that everyone, I mean

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people dating and single people go through,

0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:04.880
<v Speaker 1>probably not people in a relationship.

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:07.279
<v Speaker 3>Is dating what we're gonna call a fuck boy?

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're saying the F words so many

0:39:08.719 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>times in this episode.

0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Is dating?

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 1>We need to put a sense of warning at the

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:17.279
<v Speaker 1>start of this. Is dating a fuck boy better than

0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:19.839
<v Speaker 1>not dating at all? And what I mean by that

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:22.720
<v Speaker 1>is if you know you're seeing one of these people,

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.120
<v Speaker 1>if you know that he or she we're gonnaways just

0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 1>saying he at the moment because we're referring, but if

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you know that he is being a bit of a dick.

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:30.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, he doesn't really want anything. You know, he's

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 1>messing around. But you're obviously both allowed to date other people.

0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that that is beneficial because you're like, well,

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Like, I'm getting sex sometimes I have

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 1>someone to talk to. Dating is like a muscle, like

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:44.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go to the gym to train the muscles. Yeah,

0:39:44.360 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>do you think that that is better? Or do you

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 1>think that is wasting your time? Because this is something

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Keisha and I always have discussions about. We get a

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of questions written in do you think it's better

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>to be like do you know what? Yes, you have

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 1>two out of ten things you can give me right now,

0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:59.439
<v Speaker 1>but you're actually taking away five out of ten things

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:00.879
<v Speaker 1>that I'm looking Yeah.

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 4>I love this question because it's something that I've studied

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:05.239
<v Speaker 4>a lot, and I've studied it really with like why

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.279
<v Speaker 4>you shouldn't keep your X in your orbit, But the

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 4>same thing is true with the fuck boy. So basically,

0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:14.080
<v Speaker 4>we have this idea that even if we are still

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 4>talking to our ex or might get back together with them,

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 4>it won't inhibit us from meeting someone new right where

0:40:20.239 --> 0:40:22.560
<v Speaker 4>like those are totally two different things, two different lanes.

0:40:22.600 --> 0:40:25.439
<v Speaker 4>But that is not what I found. And basically there's

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:29.279
<v Speaker 4>this idea called optionality where you think, if that's still

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 4>an option, then I'm not going to be as serious

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:33.920
<v Speaker 4>about the other options or I'm not really going to

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:36.720
<v Speaker 4>commit to the other things. And so it's like people

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:40.279
<v Speaker 4>think it's harmless, but it's not. And so with fuck boys, yes,

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 4>you're getting some attention, and you said, like dating is

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 4>a muscle, and you're working out that muscle, but I

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.839
<v Speaker 4>would argue you're working out the muscle wrong and you're

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:51.120
<v Speaker 4>going to get injured. You're actually like doing reps in

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:55.800
<v Speaker 4>the wrong way and building the wrong habit, the wrong pattern.

0:40:55.880 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 4>And so what I would say is like, sure, you

0:40:57.840 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 4>technically could still be going on dates while having sex

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 4>with your fuck boy, but when you feel lonely, instead

0:41:03.440 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 4>of being like that's a motivator, I'm going to put

0:41:05.560 --> 0:41:08.720
<v Speaker 4>more effort in, you just go back to them. And so, really,

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 4>fuck boys take time, they take energy, they're frustrating, they

0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:15.480
<v Speaker 4>play games, they say mixed messages, and so I like

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 4>to compare it to walking on a treadmill. It's like, sure,

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 4>dating a fuck boy gives you something to do, but

0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 4>after all that effort, you really don't get anywhere.

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.000
<v Speaker 1>This is I mean, I think this is something that

0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Keisha you do often. Keisha has this really bad habit

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's what we talk about all the time

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:37.359
<v Speaker 1>of like everyone that she dates, seriously, dates casually sleeps with.

0:41:37.800 --> 0:41:39.799
<v Speaker 1>You're like, I just genuinely think they're a really great person.

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to keep them in my life, and you do.

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Every single person. I've never met anyone that keeps more

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>fuck boys, ex's, whoever in their line.

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 5>Just because they're not my person doesn't mean that they

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 5>don't bring other elements of things to my life, and

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 5>some of them have become good friends.

0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:56.799
<v Speaker 1>But banw Logan's saying that this is it's like an

0:41:56.800 --> 0:42:00.799
<v Speaker 1>opportunity cost, right, You're taking away ten opportunity.

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:02.879
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I think that's something that if I'm being

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 5>completely transparent, is that by keeping them around in my life,

0:42:05.719 --> 0:42:08.319
<v Speaker 5>I also do think like, oh, you know, maybe the

0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:11.920
<v Speaker 5>timing just wasn't right for us then, but maybe it

0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:13.839
<v Speaker 5>will be right in the future. And if I kind

0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:16.200
<v Speaker 5>of like get rid of that person completely from my life,

0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:18.279
<v Speaker 5>then that option might be taken away from me in

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:18.800
<v Speaker 5>the future.

0:42:18.960 --> 0:42:21.280
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts logan on timing. Do you believe

0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that there is a right person, wrong time, or do

0:42:23.239 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you think if it's the wrong time, it's the wrong person.

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 4>So first of all, just want to respond to the

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:30.400
<v Speaker 4>thing about seeing the best in people like that is

0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:32.640
<v Speaker 4>an amazing quality and I feel like it probably just

0:42:32.680 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 4>makes your life better. Like there's tons of research right

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 4>that people who are optimists often like see opportunity more

0:42:38.680 --> 0:42:40.839
<v Speaker 4>than other people and then have good things happen to them.

0:42:40.920 --> 0:42:44.320
<v Speaker 4>You probably assume people will be nice and that they'll

0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:46.920
<v Speaker 4>like you, and then in response, they are nice and

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 4>they like you and you like them back. So this

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.520
<v Speaker 4>is overall a great quality that's probably serving you in

0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 4>life in general. I would say, though, you know, don't

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:58.560
<v Speaker 4>fall in love with potential. I think oftentimes when you

0:42:58.640 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 4>are that type of person, you're like like, well they

0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:03.279
<v Speaker 4>did this, but you know they were having a hard day,

0:43:03.680 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 4>or but if they you know, if they got a

0:43:05.440 --> 0:43:07.399
<v Speaker 4>different job than it would work. And in that case,

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 4>I would just say, like, if you're looking for monogamy

0:43:09.800 --> 0:43:12.359
<v Speaker 4>and you can only date one person, I really don't

0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:15.040
<v Speaker 4>want you to waste time with someone who can't really

0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:17.840
<v Speaker 4>give you what you need. And so embrace that quality,

0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:20.319
<v Speaker 4>but I would say, don't allow it to have you

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 4>make excuses for other people. And I was coaching this

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.719
<v Speaker 4>guy the other day. He was so sweet, like fell

0:43:25.760 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 4>in love with his personality, but he definitely had this trait.

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:30.640
<v Speaker 4>And so what I gave him as an exercise was

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.359
<v Speaker 4>thinking about a person he loved, which in his case

0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:35.360
<v Speaker 4>was his younger sister. And I was like, imagine that

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:38.640
<v Speaker 4>your younger sister described the person she was dating, and

0:43:38.760 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 4>what she was saying was, what's happening to you with

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:42.959
<v Speaker 4>the girl that you're dating, Like how would you feel

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.120
<v Speaker 4>about somebody treating your sister like that? And he's like,

0:43:45.200 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 4>I would be enraged, Like nobody should treat my sister

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:49.520
<v Speaker 4>that way. I'm like, well, you should at least hold

0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:52.200
<v Speaker 4>yourself to the standard of how you should be treated

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:54.880
<v Speaker 4>that you have for your sister. And so for you,

0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 4>you can really think about, like this person may be lovely,

0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:00.239
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate them. All these things are going on. That

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 4>being said, I don't necessarily need to put up with

0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 4>this behavior. And so that's my little rant about, you know,

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:09.239
<v Speaker 4>having high enough standards while still understanding that people are

0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 4>doing the best they.

0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Can now for the timing question, Oh yeah, the time.

0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, this is a hard one.

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't feel like I have like a scalding hot

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:19.680
<v Speaker 4>take on this one. What I've heard people say is

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:22.720
<v Speaker 4>even if it's the right person, if they're not willing

0:44:22.719 --> 0:44:25.560
<v Speaker 4>to date you, now, it's can't be like right person,

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 4>wrong time, because the wrong time thing inherently makes them

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:31.399
<v Speaker 4>the wrong person. That being said, I do have some

0:44:31.440 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 4>stories like I had a friend who she met this

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:38.640
<v Speaker 4>woman on Okaycupid. She asked her out, the woman said yes,

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 4>and then later was like, I'm going to need to

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.239
<v Speaker 4>take a rain check. And a year later my friend

0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 4>reached out and was like, how about that raincheck? And

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.640
<v Speaker 4>now they're married and have a baby, And so that

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 4>story is just so cute because it's like it genuinely

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.160
<v Speaker 4>was the wrong time for that person. My friend remembered

0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 4>her and reached out and like it did work out.

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:57.440
<v Speaker 4>But I feel like that story's memorable because it's the exception,

0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:00.240
<v Speaker 4>not the rule. And so in general, I would say

0:45:00.560 --> 0:45:03.000
<v Speaker 4>most people are willing to make time for you if

0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:05.279
<v Speaker 4>they feel like you're the right match, and so there's

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:08.879
<v Speaker 4>something going on if they feel like they can't make

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:11.400
<v Speaker 4>that moment work, and so I would say, like, value

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 4>your time, feel urgency around this, and if somebody can't

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 4>be with you right now, find somebody who both wants

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:21.400
<v Speaker 4>to date you, is willing to make you a priority,

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:23.640
<v Speaker 4>and isn't giving you a date in the future.

0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Now loan something that one of my childhood best friends

0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:27.560
<v Speaker 5>said to me a couple of years ago, and I

0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:29.319
<v Speaker 5>have never forgotten it because it was one of the

0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:31.799
<v Speaker 5>best bits of advice I've ever heard. Both of us

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:33.720
<v Speaker 5>were kind of like dating people, and she was finding

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.080
<v Speaker 5>that she was and brit I know that you've experienced

0:45:36.080 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 5>this too, the person before the person.

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:41.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, of course, you know the person.

0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.759
<v Speaker 1>That they would date I call the one before the one.

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Find the one before the one.

0:45:44.800 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Yea, yeah, the one before the one.

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:48.960
<v Speaker 5>Anyway, she realized that she was kind of in a

0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 5>lot of these situations where she thought that she was

0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 5>seeing someone and then, as it turns out, they were

0:45:54.600 --> 0:45:57.280
<v Speaker 5>seeing her and also seeing a couple of other people,

0:45:57.360 --> 0:46:00.479
<v Speaker 5>and then they would pick from that group. So something

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.319
<v Speaker 5>she ended up asking pretty early on which is pretty

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:06.520
<v Speaker 5>full on, but she would say, Hey, is there anyone

0:46:06.719 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 5>that thinks they are dating you right now? Like, is

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:12.399
<v Speaker 5>there anyone that in their mind they think that they're

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:14.399
<v Speaker 5>seeing you, because I want to know about that before

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:15.279
<v Speaker 5>I invest more of.

0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:17.279
<v Speaker 1>My time, you mean, just trying to find out like

0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:20.239
<v Speaker 1>if yeah, a nice way to say are we exclusive

0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:20.440
<v Speaker 1>or not?

0:46:20.840 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 5>More so like not so exclusive, it's more so like

0:46:23.160 --> 0:46:24.959
<v Speaker 5>this would be she would ask upon like the first

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:28.080
<v Speaker 5>or second date where she would kind of want to

0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:30.680
<v Speaker 5>gauge of, like it's okay if you're dating other people,

0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 5>but is there anyone that thinks that they are in

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:36.680
<v Speaker 5>an exclusive relationship with you or working towards that? What

0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:39.480
<v Speaker 5>is a way to ask that question in a maybe

0:46:39.560 --> 0:46:43.840
<v Speaker 5>less a long way way? But I think it's brilliant.

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:47.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it reminds me. There's a famous quote. It's from

0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:49.319
<v Speaker 4>a famous comedian and I forget who's from. But it's like,

0:46:49.360 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't have a girlfriend, but I know a woman

0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 4>who would be angry to hear me say that. Yes,

0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Like it's definitely the same essence. And I've honestly been

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:57.279
<v Speaker 4>thinking about that.

0:46:57.280 --> 0:46:57.920
<v Speaker 3>A lot lately.

0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.759
<v Speaker 4>So what's horrid about what your friend's question is that

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:06.319
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it comes across as very cynical and

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.680
<v Speaker 4>really like man, dating has burned me and I'm having

0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 4>a hard time, and like, you better not fuck with

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:13.640
<v Speaker 4>me the way other people did.

0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, Like, I.

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Totally understand where she's coming from. She's trying to protect herself,

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:20.879
<v Speaker 4>but I really worry that saying something like that could

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.239
<v Speaker 4>be a huge turn off because what it's gonna lead

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:25.720
<v Speaker 4>to in the guy's head is alarm bells are gonna

0:47:25.719 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 4>go off. It's like she's super skeptical, she's cynical, like

0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:30.920
<v Speaker 4>she's been around the box block and she's been burned.

0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.160
<v Speaker 4>She's always gonna question me, and so like, even though

0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.759
<v Speaker 4>I have so much empathy for why she's asking it,

0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:38.839
<v Speaker 4>I feel like the phrasing of that question could get

0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:40.960
<v Speaker 4>her in trouble and could turn off a guy who's

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:44.200
<v Speaker 4>otherwise like very honest, has done nothing wrong, but just

0:47:44.200 --> 0:47:47.360
<v Speaker 4>feels almost like guilty and so proven innocent. And so

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:49.719
<v Speaker 4>let's see if we can come up with another way

0:47:49.719 --> 0:47:51.719
<v Speaker 4>for her to ask that. So there's one way of

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:53.880
<v Speaker 4>doing it, which is just saying, are you seeing anyone

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:57.320
<v Speaker 4>else right now? Another thing is that maybe she doesn't

0:47:57.320 --> 0:47:59.799
<v Speaker 4>need to know in the beginning, but it's more that

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:02.439
<v Speaker 4>once she and the guy really start hitting it off,

0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:05.400
<v Speaker 4>she should be more upfront about having the dtr that

0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:08.400
<v Speaker 4>define the relationship conversation or the woo woo, what's up

0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:11.279
<v Speaker 4>with us? And so like, what about if you know

0:48:11.320 --> 0:48:14.080
<v Speaker 4>when things are going well, Let's say, like after a month,

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:17.680
<v Speaker 4>she says something like, I'm really enjoying hanging out. I'm

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 4>going to delete the apps. I don't really feel like

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:20.919
<v Speaker 4>I need to meet somebody else right now?

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 3>What about you?

0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 4>How are you feeling? And by sharing what's going on

0:48:25.040 --> 0:48:27.640
<v Speaker 4>for her and mirroring the type of honesty she wants

0:48:27.680 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 4>to have, she's letting the guy say something so he

0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 4>could say, I'm.

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:32.279
<v Speaker 3>Happy to hear you say that.

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, I did get out of a relationship pretty recently,

0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:37.640
<v Speaker 4>and so I want to play the field.

0:48:37.360 --> 0:48:38.000
<v Speaker 3>A little bit more.

0:48:38.040 --> 0:48:40.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm not ready to do that, or oh, I already

0:48:40.080 --> 0:48:42.920
<v Speaker 4>deleted the apps, like I didn't mention it. Like I

0:48:42.960 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 4>think just creating more opportunities to have hard conversations with

0:48:46.800 --> 0:48:49.919
<v Speaker 4>people and feeling bold because we often don't bring things

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 4>up because we're afraid of the answer that we might get.

0:48:53.320 --> 0:48:56.560
<v Speaker 4>And so instead I would really think about, you know,

0:48:56.600 --> 0:49:01.239
<v Speaker 4>what could she do to feel more empowered to have

0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:04.160
<v Speaker 4>that conversation sooner, a.

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:05.439
<v Speaker 3>Discussion that we have a lot.

0:49:05.480 --> 0:49:08.439
<v Speaker 1>A lot of questions that come in is around when

0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:11.320
<v Speaker 1>is the right time to say what you want in

0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a relationship or what you're looking for when you start dating.

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you put it straight on your dating profile? Do

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you do it day one? On the first day, you're

0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:19.520
<v Speaker 1>having dinner, you say, hey, look.

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:21.880
<v Speaker 3>What are you looking for? Are you relationship? Kids just

0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:22.960
<v Speaker 3>want to have sex casual?

0:49:23.480 --> 0:49:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Because for women, as we get older, a lot of

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>women are looking for a relationship.

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:28.239
<v Speaker 3>It's what they want.

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:30.360
<v Speaker 1>But there is this idea of well, if I go

0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and say that too soon, it might scare them off,

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:34.759
<v Speaker 1>or they might think I'm too serious, even though the

0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 1>guy might want the same thing. There's this idea that

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:39.880
<v Speaker 1>if you directly go and say what you want.

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:41.040
<v Speaker 3>They're going to run for the hills.

0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I was on a date this week and the first

0:49:43.560 --> 0:49:45.799
<v Speaker 1>date and he said to me, we're having dinner and

0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 1>he said to me, what are you looking for in

0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a relationship? And I mean, I have a dating podcast?

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 3>And I freaked out. In my head. My internal monologue was,

0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:55.120
<v Speaker 3>holy fuck, do you tell him what you actually want,

0:49:55.160 --> 0:49:58.799
<v Speaker 3>which is like looking for dress? I was like, and

0:49:58.880 --> 0:49:59.239
<v Speaker 3>I did.

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 1>The most I found about answer where I like touched

0:50:01.560 --> 0:50:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on both. I was like, well, you know, I'm thirty five,

0:50:04.360 --> 0:50:07.319
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I'm looking for the right person. I want

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 1>to share my life with someone, so I would like

0:50:09.239 --> 0:50:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a relationship.

0:50:10.200 --> 0:50:12.879
<v Speaker 3>Having said that, I'm also.

0:50:12.760 --> 0:50:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Open to just cruising for a little bit and having

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:17.200
<v Speaker 1>fun and seeing if something goes somewhere. And I just

0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:20.480
<v Speaker 1>did this stupid answer that like covered every single base possible,

0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:22.120
<v Speaker 1>because in my head, I'm like, if you just tell

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 1>him you're ready for a relationship.

0:50:24.080 --> 0:50:25.000
<v Speaker 3>He's going to run a mile.

0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:27.120
<v Speaker 1>How early on do you think you need to have

0:50:27.200 --> 0:50:29.919
<v Speaker 1>those conversations or it's okay to have those conversations.

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 4>It's such a good question, and I think a lot

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:33.560
<v Speaker 4>of people worry about this or like I really know

0:50:33.600 --> 0:50:35.040
<v Speaker 4>what I want, but I don't want to scare the

0:50:35.080 --> 0:50:37.200
<v Speaker 4>person off. And so I have done some research on

0:50:37.239 --> 0:50:39.640
<v Speaker 4>this at Hinge, and so we ran this really cool

0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:44.000
<v Speaker 4>experiment where we had a couple different marked up profiles

0:50:44.360 --> 0:50:46.520
<v Speaker 4>and under what are you looking for? Some people just

0:50:46.560 --> 0:50:49.520
<v Speaker 4>had something more generic like somebody to laugh with and

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 4>have a great time with, and other people were much

0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:54.759
<v Speaker 4>more explicit about like looking for a long term relationship,

0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:56.799
<v Speaker 4>looking to get married and have kids, and what we

0:50:56.920 --> 0:51:00.600
<v Speaker 4>found was that it all depended on what the person

0:51:00.640 --> 0:51:02.919
<v Speaker 4>who looked at the profile was looking for. So when

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:06.160
<v Speaker 4>somebody who's looking for a relationship sees on your profile

0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:09.320
<v Speaker 4>that you're looking for a relationship, they're much more likely

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:11.719
<v Speaker 4>to message you. And so already putting it on your

0:51:11.760 --> 0:51:14.880
<v Speaker 4>profile basically as soon as you're meeting the person is

0:51:14.920 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 4>great because you're really getting more messages from people that

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:21.560
<v Speaker 4>are what we call intentioned users, people looking for a relationship.

0:51:21.920 --> 0:51:25.880
<v Speaker 4>But perhaps the even better news is that somebody who's

0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:28.719
<v Speaker 4>not looking for a relationship, when they see that, they

0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:32.040
<v Speaker 4>are eleven percent less likely to send you a message,

0:51:32.080 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 4>and so it saves you time. You're basically taking those

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 4>fuck boys and saying no fuck boys allowed, and then

0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:42.080
<v Speaker 4>they self censor and remove themselves from the pool. And

0:51:42.160 --> 0:51:44.840
<v Speaker 4>so if you're thinking about all the places that you

0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:46.480
<v Speaker 4>could say it, you could say it on your profile,

0:51:46.520 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 4>you could say it in your first message, you could

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:49.560
<v Speaker 4>say it on your first date, you could say it

0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 4>in your second date. To me, this is evidence that

0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:55.960
<v Speaker 4>saying it as early as possible is great because instead

0:51:55.960 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 4>of wasting your time with someone who's not looking for

0:51:58.200 --> 0:52:00.839
<v Speaker 4>the same thing, you're saying it from the beginning, and

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 4>somebody who's going to be scared away by that is

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:06.239
<v Speaker 4>probably somebody who's not looking for a relationship. And so

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:09.160
<v Speaker 4>I really feel strongly that there's nothing to be embarrassed

0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:12.279
<v Speaker 4>about if you just own your story and you say, hey,

0:52:12.360 --> 0:52:14.480
<v Speaker 4>i've been dating for a while, I've learned so much

0:52:14.480 --> 0:52:16.719
<v Speaker 4>about myself. I've had some good times, I've had some

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:18.920
<v Speaker 4>bad times, but I know I'm really looking to be

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:19.799
<v Speaker 4>in a relationship.

0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:21.560
<v Speaker 3>What about you.

0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 4>You're basically doing what I said before. You're sharing in

0:52:24.520 --> 0:52:28.520
<v Speaker 4>an authentic and vulnerable way. You're modeling the honesty that

0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:30.759
<v Speaker 4>you want them to have, and then you're allowing them

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:33.360
<v Speaker 4>to share, and you're making sure that there's no right answer.

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.239
<v Speaker 3>That's wording, don't go in crazy and hall.

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Now, Logan, you have a phenomenal newsletter. I am signed

0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:41.600
<v Speaker 5>up to it for anyone who isn't. You can grab

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:43.520
<v Speaker 5>it from Logan's website. I'll put a note in the

0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:46.879
<v Speaker 5>show notes for it. And a couple of weeks ago,

0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:51.239
<v Speaker 5>your newsletter wrote about this thing called the sunk cost fallacy.

0:52:51.440 --> 0:52:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, CF, I just made that office ESCF. What is

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the sunk cost fallacy?

0:52:57.280 --> 0:53:00.759
<v Speaker 4>Well, thank you for being a newsletter subscribe the Sun

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:03.640
<v Speaker 4>costs fallacy. My husband always says it as throwing good

0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:06.600
<v Speaker 4>money after bad. It's basically this idea that once you've

0:53:06.600 --> 0:53:09.400
<v Speaker 4>invested in something, you have to see it through. And

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:12.200
<v Speaker 4>so the example I gave in the newsletter is that

0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I went to the movies and I knew fifteen minutes

0:53:16.880 --> 0:53:18.560
<v Speaker 4>into it that I didn't like it. And so the

0:53:18.600 --> 0:53:20.600
<v Speaker 4>old me would be like, Okay, I'm going to stay

0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:23.920
<v Speaker 4>because I've already spent the twenty dollars in the movies.

0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:25.799
<v Speaker 4>But now that I know about this, the way I

0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.879
<v Speaker 4>think about it is whether I stay or I leave.

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Either way, I've paid twenty dollars, but at least if

0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:34.840
<v Speaker 4>I leave, I get my time back. And there's this

0:53:34.920 --> 0:53:36.960
<v Speaker 4>feeling of well, I can go call a friend, I

0:53:36.960 --> 0:53:39.000
<v Speaker 4>can go listen to a podcast, I can go shopping,

0:53:39.040 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I can have a delicious lunch, whatever it is. And

0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:44.319
<v Speaker 4>so really understanding that just because you spent money on

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.080
<v Speaker 4>something doesn't mean that you should also spend your time

0:53:47.160 --> 0:53:49.520
<v Speaker 4>on it. Just because you've worked hard on a project

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:51.640
<v Speaker 4>but the project isn't going anywhere, it doesn't mean you

0:53:51.640 --> 0:53:52.560
<v Speaker 4>should continue.

0:53:52.640 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 3>So it's giving you.

0:53:53.840 --> 0:53:57.920
<v Speaker 4>This understanding that despite the fact that you've spent your

0:53:57.960 --> 0:53:59.960
<v Speaker 4>time on something, it doesn't mean you need to keep

0:54:00.080 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 4>spending more time on it. And so how it's relevant

0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:05.320
<v Speaker 4>to relationships is that sometimes I meet people who have

0:54:05.400 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 4>been in a relationship for two years and they've actually

0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:12.120
<v Speaker 4>been unhappy for eighteen months, but they keep staying because

0:54:12.160 --> 0:54:14.120
<v Speaker 4>they feel like, well, I've already invested this time, I

0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:17.160
<v Speaker 4>have to keep going. And so how it relates to

0:54:17.239 --> 0:54:20.640
<v Speaker 4>fuck boys is that you're already entangled with them and

0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:22.600
<v Speaker 4>you think I should keep going or I'm going to

0:54:22.719 --> 0:54:24.719
<v Speaker 4>change them, I'm going to fix them. But I would

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.960
<v Speaker 4>much rather that you call it, identify what it was,

0:54:28.040 --> 0:54:31.000
<v Speaker 4>which was a situationship with the fuck boy, and then

0:54:31.320 --> 0:54:34.080
<v Speaker 4>move forward and find somebody else, instead of saying, well,

0:54:34.080 --> 0:54:35.680
<v Speaker 4>I've spent this much time with them, I might as

0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:36.520
<v Speaker 4>well stick around.

0:54:36.760 --> 0:54:37.919
<v Speaker 3>I think this happens a lot.

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I've had a lot of friends I've even been in

0:54:39.440 --> 0:54:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the situation, but a lot of friends that are like

0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I've just you know, we've been going for six months now,

0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:45.520
<v Speaker 1>like i feel like I've put so much time and

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>engine to him that I'll just hang around another six

0:54:48.600 --> 0:54:50.960
<v Speaker 1>months and see what happens. Whereas exactly what you just

0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:53.040
<v Speaker 1>said all you're doing is stopping yourself from going and

0:54:53.040 --> 0:54:56.560
<v Speaker 1>getting opportunity in the next six months. I would be

0:54:56.600 --> 0:54:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the person now like you, I would walk out of

0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the movie now because I value my time so much more.

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 4>Yes, take back your time.

0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:07.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, time is invaluable. I think it's such a hot

0:55:07.400 --> 0:55:09.960
<v Speaker 1>commodity that people don't have enough of. And you don't

0:55:09.960 --> 0:55:12.800
<v Speaker 1>want to be giving your time to people that aren't

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:15.640
<v Speaker 1>well adding anything back to your life. And I think

0:55:15.640 --> 0:55:17.200
<v Speaker 1>there's something a lot of people need to think about

0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:19.839
<v Speaker 1>right now. If you're in this situation, if you are

0:55:20.080 --> 0:55:22.480
<v Speaker 1>literally in a situation now where you're with a fuck boy,

0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a fuck girl, or someone that you think is wasting

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the time, ask yourself, what are they adding to this

0:55:27.080 --> 0:55:31.720
<v Speaker 1>situation other than maybe maybe sporadically semi good sex.

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.279
<v Speaker 4>I totally agree with all of that, And like, isn't

0:55:34.320 --> 0:55:36.000
<v Speaker 4>that just a message that you would want to spread

0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:38.319
<v Speaker 4>to like your audience, your friends, your family, which is

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:41.799
<v Speaker 4>just value your time more. Like, think about like what

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 4>you could do if you weren't scrolling on Instagram, or

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:47.080
<v Speaker 4>you weren't feeling bad about a fuck boy, or you

0:55:47.120 --> 0:55:49.279
<v Speaker 4>weren't wondering, you know, is this person going to text

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 4>me back and really just being like, if you think

0:55:51.760 --> 0:55:54.600
<v Speaker 4>about a role model that you have, or like somebody

0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:57.719
<v Speaker 4>who's super accomplished, like they're not wasting their time on

0:55:57.760 --> 0:56:02.000
<v Speaker 4>those things. They're achieving their goal, learning, becoming better, investing

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:04.239
<v Speaker 4>in their relationships. And so really like I wish that

0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:06.640
<v Speaker 4>we would all and I totally include myself in this

0:56:07.000 --> 0:56:08.640
<v Speaker 4>take our own time more seriously.

0:56:09.280 --> 0:56:11.359
<v Speaker 5>Like we've been speaking about it in the terms of

0:56:11.400 --> 0:56:14.359
<v Speaker 5>like dating and the earliest stages of dating, but does

0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:17.360
<v Speaker 5>this apply to people in long term relationships as well?

0:56:17.400 --> 0:56:18.239
<v Speaker 3>Like, I mean, I know.

0:56:18.280 --> 0:56:21.040
<v Speaker 5>That for my parents, my mum had been with my

0:56:21.120 --> 0:56:22.960
<v Speaker 5>dad since she was fifteen, and I know that she

0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 5>got to her mid forties and she was kind of like,

0:56:25.480 --> 0:56:27.720
<v Speaker 5>we haven't been in love for a really long time,

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:30.240
<v Speaker 5>but we've spent all of this time together. We've built

0:56:30.239 --> 0:56:33.120
<v Speaker 5>this house together, we've got this family, you know, we've

0:56:33.120 --> 0:56:36.720
<v Speaker 5>got this life together. Does the sun cost fallacy apply

0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:39.160
<v Speaker 5>to people like that that have been in really long

0:56:39.239 --> 0:56:40.360
<v Speaker 5>term relationships?

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:42.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I'll just start by saying, you know, I've

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 4>been married for two years, so I don't want to

0:56:44.520 --> 0:56:46.520
<v Speaker 4>speak on behalf of somebody who's been married. Let's say,

0:56:46.560 --> 0:56:48.360
<v Speaker 4>for thirty years with kids in a house and a

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:50.360
<v Speaker 4>mortgage and all that. So I think there is a

0:56:50.360 --> 0:56:53.680
<v Speaker 4>lot of nuance there, and there are complications, but yes,

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:56.280
<v Speaker 4>this applies to many areas of our lives. It's why

0:56:56.360 --> 0:57:00.200
<v Speaker 4>we put up with friendships that have probably reached their

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:02.920
<v Speaker 4>expiration date. But we're just sort of like, well, I

0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:05.879
<v Speaker 4>guess I'll keep them around. And sometimes it's a good thing.

0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:08.200
<v Speaker 4>Like sometimes you've built a life with someone and even

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 4>if the romantic or sexual part has faded, they're still

0:57:11.680 --> 0:57:13.920
<v Speaker 4>your partner and you want to continue living with them.

0:57:13.960 --> 0:57:16.200
<v Speaker 4>And so just because you know some of that early

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:20.280
<v Speaker 4>chemistry or honeymoon period has faded, certainly isn't a reason

0:57:20.320 --> 0:57:22.680
<v Speaker 4>to break up. But yes, I would say I see

0:57:22.680 --> 0:57:25.440
<v Speaker 4>this all the time. And in my book I talk

0:57:25.480 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 4>about two types of people, hitchers and ditchers, and so

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 4>ditchers are people that stay in relationships too short, maybe

0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 4>after three months or six months. They're like, oh, you know,

0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:37.800
<v Speaker 4>the love has faded. It's not as fun as the

0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:39.600
<v Speaker 4>falling in love. I'm going to move on to the

0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:43.360
<v Speaker 4>next person. They don't understand that with every relationship there's

0:57:43.480 --> 0:57:46.439
<v Speaker 4>naturally a transition, and falling in love isn't the same

0:57:46.480 --> 0:57:49.920
<v Speaker 4>as being in love, but for some cost fallacy hitchers

0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:53.760
<v Speaker 4>is absolutely relevant because hitchers stay in relationships too long

0:57:54.120 --> 0:57:56.440
<v Speaker 4>because they've already put that time in. And so that

0:57:56.520 --> 0:57:58.560
<v Speaker 4>goes back to the example I gave of the coaching

0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:01.960
<v Speaker 4>client who had been the woman for two years, had

0:58:02.600 --> 0:58:05.280
<v Speaker 4>not enjoyed it for the last eighteen months, but was like,

0:58:05.320 --> 0:58:07.280
<v Speaker 4>the first six months were so great, and I've already

0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:09.960
<v Speaker 4>invested the time, And so for someone like him, I

0:58:09.960 --> 0:58:12.480
<v Speaker 4>would just say, you know, you can't stick around for

0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:15.200
<v Speaker 4>what was there at the beginning. And so yes, absolutely

0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:18.360
<v Speaker 4>applies to longer term relationships, but more complicated because of

0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:20.160
<v Speaker 4>course you've built a life together.

0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:24.880
<v Speaker 5>How do we identify if we are the fuck boy

0:58:24.960 --> 0:58:27.480
<v Speaker 5>or fuck girl in this situation? Like, what are some

0:58:27.520 --> 0:58:29.640
<v Speaker 5>of the signs that maybe we need to check ourselves

0:58:29.680 --> 0:58:30.959
<v Speaker 5>and have a bit of a look in the mirror

0:58:31.000 --> 0:58:33.360
<v Speaker 5>as to whether way of bringing that to the dating world.

0:58:33.800 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I worked on a podcast for the last few years

0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:37.720
<v Speaker 4>called This is Dating, and one of the people that

0:58:37.760 --> 0:58:40.200
<v Speaker 4>I was coaching, he was so lovely, but he was

0:58:40.360 --> 0:58:44.520
<v Speaker 4>a very typical love bomber, and I would also say

0:58:44.520 --> 0:58:47.360
<v Speaker 4>fuck boy, And it was so interesting because I felt

0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:49.160
<v Speaker 4>like he was even doing some of it to me,

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Like after one of our coaching sessions, he wrote me

0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:54.680
<v Speaker 4>this like really intense poem about how I had helped him,

0:58:54.680 --> 0:58:56.439
<v Speaker 4>And every time I logged on too Zoom, he would

0:58:56.440 --> 0:58:58.000
<v Speaker 4>tell me how beautiful I looked, and I was like,

0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 4>oh my god, like I'm being loved bombed by my client.

0:59:01.920 --> 0:59:04.960
<v Speaker 4>And it was just really interesting because he was truly

0:59:05.000 --> 0:59:07.600
<v Speaker 4>a lovely person. I don't think he was doing anything malicious,

0:59:07.800 --> 0:59:10.880
<v Speaker 4>but there was obviously something inside of him that had

0:59:10.920 --> 0:59:14.720
<v Speaker 4>this need to flur, to seduce and to please, and

0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:17.600
<v Speaker 4>so I've really thought a lot about that psychology. And

0:59:17.640 --> 0:59:19.560
<v Speaker 4>so one of the things that I noticed with him,

0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:20.760
<v Speaker 4>and that I think is true with a lot of

0:59:20.760 --> 0:59:23.680
<v Speaker 4>fuck boys, is that it's kind of like all these

0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:26.880
<v Speaker 4>interactions are a game that you can win by getting

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:29.680
<v Speaker 4>somebody to like you. And so as opposed to thinking

0:59:29.720 --> 0:59:31.960
<v Speaker 4>like you and me are a team, baby, and it's

0:59:32.000 --> 0:59:34.400
<v Speaker 4>like us against the world, it's like you versus me,

0:59:34.800 --> 0:59:37.800
<v Speaker 4>and how can I win by really seducing you? And

0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.120
<v Speaker 4>so if you think about dating as a game that

0:59:40.160 --> 0:59:42.160
<v Speaker 4>you can win, that might be a sign that you're

0:59:42.200 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 4>a fuck boy. And so even though we generally want

0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:46.960
<v Speaker 4>to be liked and that's like a healthy part of

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:49.640
<v Speaker 4>survival and being in a group and this and that

0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 4>these people have an excessive need to get validation. And

0:59:54.240 --> 0:59:56.760
<v Speaker 4>it's something that I would encourage them to look at,

0:59:56.800 --> 1:00:00.200
<v Speaker 4>which is what hole are you trying to fill? Why

1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:02.240
<v Speaker 4>do you feel like everyone you need to date? You

1:00:02.320 --> 1:00:04.120
<v Speaker 4>need to get them to not just like you as

1:00:04.160 --> 1:00:06.720
<v Speaker 4>a person, but to fall for you? And like why

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:09.520
<v Speaker 4>is the setup this feeling of like can I get them?

1:00:09.560 --> 1:00:12.080
<v Speaker 4>And for them it's so much about the like can

1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:13.920
<v Speaker 4>I get you to like me? Is it the chase?

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:16.120
<v Speaker 4>And you're not realizing that there's a real person on

1:00:16.160 --> 1:00:18.760
<v Speaker 4>the other end whose feelings are at stake, who thinks

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:21.080
<v Speaker 4>that you genuinely like them. Well, what you really like

1:00:21.400 --> 1:00:24.080
<v Speaker 4>is the feeling of getting somebody else to fall for you,

1:00:24.200 --> 1:00:28.080
<v Speaker 4>And so really it's that extreme need to win people over.

1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 4>The other thing goes back to what I said about

1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:34.000
<v Speaker 4>the beginning, which is where their actions don't match their words,

1:00:34.120 --> 1:00:36.760
<v Speaker 4>and so they make a lot of promises, so for example,

1:00:36.800 --> 1:00:39.280
<v Speaker 4>things like oh we can date when things get less

1:00:39.280 --> 1:00:41.560
<v Speaker 4>busy at work, or they give a lot of compliments

1:00:41.560 --> 1:00:43.880
<v Speaker 4>like I'm so into you, and they know in their

1:00:43.960 --> 1:00:46.400
<v Speaker 4>heart they don't mean it, and so it's like they

1:00:46.400 --> 1:00:49.360
<v Speaker 4>have a skill of saying what does that person want

1:00:49.360 --> 1:00:51.960
<v Speaker 4>and delivering it, But what they should move towards is

1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:54.760
<v Speaker 4>only saying it when they mean it. And then the

1:00:54.840 --> 1:00:57.440
<v Speaker 4>last thing I would say is getting involved with people

1:00:57.560 --> 1:01:01.080
<v Speaker 4>who you know want commitment even though you don't, and

1:01:01.160 --> 1:01:03.360
<v Speaker 4>can you move towards a world where you let the

1:01:03.360 --> 1:01:05.520
<v Speaker 4>person know that you don't want commitment and if that's

1:01:05.560 --> 1:01:07.520
<v Speaker 4>the only thing they're looking for, then you move on

1:01:07.680 --> 1:01:10.160
<v Speaker 4>instead of kind of lying to yourself and being like, sure,

1:01:10.280 --> 1:01:12.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe I would date her one day when in your

1:01:12.040 --> 1:01:14.480
<v Speaker 4>heart you're like, no, that's not the person I want

1:01:14.480 --> 1:01:15.560
<v Speaker 4>to be in a relationship with.

1:01:15.800 --> 1:01:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think it would be very silly of us

1:01:18.000 --> 1:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to have a behavioral scientist and a dating coach from

1:01:20.320 --> 1:01:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Hingeon and not talk about dating profiles and how all

1:01:24.640 --> 1:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>those single people out there can make sure they've got

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the absolute best profile. What are your top tips for

1:01:31.520 --> 1:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>making like the bomb profile?

1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and we've done a ton of research on this

1:01:35.760 --> 1:01:37.760
<v Speaker 4>at Hinge. So first thing I would say is think

1:01:37.800 --> 1:01:40.840
<v Speaker 4>about your profile is telling a story. So often we're like, okay,

1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 4>well this picture plus this prompt think about it altogether.

1:01:43.840 --> 1:01:45.880
<v Speaker 4>So I like to say to people, what are the

1:01:45.920 --> 1:01:48.160
<v Speaker 4>three things that you want to communicate on your profile?

1:01:48.240 --> 1:01:50.280
<v Speaker 4>So it might be you know, I love this sports team,

1:01:50.440 --> 1:01:53.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm super close to my family, and I love to cook.

1:01:53.480 --> 1:01:55.360
<v Speaker 4>And then you want to have a profile that really

1:01:55.360 --> 1:01:58.160
<v Speaker 4>gets those things across. So you don't need three pictures

1:01:58.200 --> 1:02:00.680
<v Speaker 4>of you cooking, but you might want to have a combination.

1:02:00.960 --> 1:02:02.800
<v Speaker 4>And then you don't want all of your answers to

1:02:02.840 --> 1:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>say the same thing. You really want varieties. So that's

1:02:05.080 --> 1:02:08.240
<v Speaker 4>number one. The next thing is that your first profile

1:02:08.320 --> 1:02:12.439
<v Speaker 4>photo should be a clear headshot, no filters, no sunglasses,

1:02:12.520 --> 1:02:14.800
<v Speaker 4>no dark shadows, just like, this is what I look like.

1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Because people don't want to play a guessing game, and

1:02:16.960 --> 1:02:18.760
<v Speaker 4>they're not going to be like, well, let me see

1:02:18.760 --> 1:02:21.000
<v Speaker 4>her other photos. They're just gonna be like, Nope, can't

1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:23.360
<v Speaker 4>tell what she looks like. You also want to include

1:02:23.400 --> 1:02:26.400
<v Speaker 4>photos of you doing an activity that you love, a

1:02:26.480 --> 1:02:29.680
<v Speaker 4>full body shot, and at least one photo with friends

1:02:29.720 --> 1:02:32.439
<v Speaker 4>and family, but not something where they have to guess

1:02:32.560 --> 1:02:35.080
<v Speaker 4>which one of your siblings you are or which one

1:02:35.080 --> 1:02:36.680
<v Speaker 4>of the bachelorette girls.

1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>You are waits Wally.

1:02:38.760 --> 1:02:40.960
<v Speaker 5>That's literally the case for me because my photos are

1:02:40.960 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 5>with girls who will own the bachelor.

1:02:42.880 --> 1:02:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Ignore the bride'smaids, Ignore the bachelorettes. You don't want to

1:02:45.760 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 4>play Where's Wally? And then when it comes to your prompts,

1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.480
<v Speaker 4>you want to have a mixture of humor and vulnerability.

1:02:51.560 --> 1:02:53.960
<v Speaker 4>So show us your dad joke, show us your puns,

1:02:54.280 --> 1:02:57.120
<v Speaker 4>whatever is your sense of humor. But you also want

1:02:57.120 --> 1:02:59.520
<v Speaker 4>to have some earnest ones. Like I worked with this

1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:02.320
<v Speaker 4>guy who was really nerdy and sweet and loved reading,

1:03:02.400 --> 1:03:04.360
<v Speaker 4>and so we wanted to say that he wanted a

1:03:04.400 --> 1:03:06.480
<v Speaker 4>long term relationship, but we wanted to do it in

1:03:06.480 --> 1:03:07.120
<v Speaker 4>a sweet way.

1:03:07.200 --> 1:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>So we wrote.

1:03:08.080 --> 1:03:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Looking for somebody to combine my bookshelves with cute.

1:03:11.840 --> 1:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>That's a good one.

1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:15.520
<v Speaker 4>I just thought it was so cute because it's like

1:03:16.040 --> 1:03:18.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking for something serious. I love reading, but like

1:03:18.920 --> 1:03:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm in it for a good time and a long time.

1:03:21.240 --> 1:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I put a photo up of myself and my dog,

1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Delilaho's Everyone that knows me knows she's my obsession, and

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I just wrote, like package deal. That's so cute, this

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>long term deal, this is what we come as. But

1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Keisha has this problem and we always say that you

1:03:35.080 --> 1:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>really need to work on your prompts. Be great, give

1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>people something to talk about. I'm a big advocate for

1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that as well. And when I write to someone first,

1:03:42.560 --> 1:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I like to comment on something that they've gone to

1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the effort of something on their profile.

1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:47.600
<v Speaker 3>But Keisha's quite extreme.

1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>If somebody writes to Keisha and just says hi or hi,

1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>how are you, she won't write back because she's like, yeah,

1:03:56.000 --> 1:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>fuck you, you put no effort in where it's like, I

1:03:57.800 --> 1:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's a bit extreme, because sometimes boring, I'm kind of.

1:04:01.280 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Like, you don't care how I am. You don't know me. Also,

1:04:04.560 --> 1:04:06.960
<v Speaker 3>what am I gonna reply to that? Good? How are you? Like?

1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes at the end I think of myself. Sometimes at

1:04:09.440 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of a really long day, I might want

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to start a conversation with some because I'm interested in them,

1:04:13.760 --> 1:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>but I do not have the energy to go through

1:04:16.240 --> 1:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and think of something funny to say. So sometimes even

1:04:18.240 --> 1:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I and my advice to everyone is be creative, But

1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I'm like, hey, how are you?

1:04:21.720 --> 1:04:22.240
<v Speaker 3>That's what I do?

1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So do you think that that's too cash? Is too

1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:27.840
<v Speaker 1>extreme to not respond to a Hey how I.

1:04:27.160 --> 1:04:29.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, I've thought about this a lot, and also

1:04:29.320 --> 1:04:31.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, I've been following this trend of beige flags,

1:04:31.560 --> 1:04:33.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, beage flags is this idea that red flags

1:04:33.920 --> 1:04:36.760
<v Speaker 4>are run away, green flags are a go, and beige

1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:39.160
<v Speaker 4>flags are like a sign that the person might be boring.

1:04:39.360 --> 1:04:41.480
<v Speaker 4>And one of the things that came up is just

1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:43.520
<v Speaker 4>saying the hey, how are you? And I used to

1:04:43.520 --> 1:04:46.439
<v Speaker 4>be like, come on, people are busy, it's no big deal.

1:04:46.880 --> 1:04:49.280
<v Speaker 4>But at this point, I'm like, put some effort in,

1:04:49.440 --> 1:04:52.640
<v Speaker 4>like comment on something in my profile, say something like

1:04:53.040 --> 1:04:54.960
<v Speaker 4>what you're up to, and then ask a question. And

1:04:55.000 --> 1:04:57.040
<v Speaker 4>so in this stage where a lot of people are

1:04:57.040 --> 1:04:59.720
<v Speaker 4>burned out and we're all just trying to make it through,

1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:02.440
<v Speaker 4>I would say that I think that's an okay filter.

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:05.200
<v Speaker 4>And my really advice for everyone would be put more

1:05:05.240 --> 1:05:08.440
<v Speaker 4>effort into your messages because amazing people like Kisha are

1:05:08.480 --> 1:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>filtering you out. If you just say hey, how are you.

1:05:11.120 --> 1:05:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Like, it's stop flirting with me. I know, I'm just trying.

1:05:13.920 --> 1:05:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm a lot love vombing you.

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>There's also amazing people like me, and sometimes I get

1:05:18.920 --> 1:05:20.280
<v Speaker 1>on the dating slote and I'm like, I don't have

1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>anything left in me. I don't have one more creative thing.

1:05:23.440 --> 1:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to be like Hey, lacky glasses, how

1:05:26.440 --> 1:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>are you?

1:05:26.800 --> 1:05:27.080
<v Speaker 3>That's it?

1:05:27.160 --> 1:05:29.280
<v Speaker 5>Maybe you shouldn't be messaging at that time, then maybe

1:05:29.320 --> 1:05:30.240
<v Speaker 5>you should come back.

1:05:30.120 --> 1:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>To the apps like at a time.

1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing my best here.

1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:37.280
<v Speaker 3>It's so hard.

1:05:37.320 --> 1:05:39.640
<v Speaker 4>It's like I write all these creative messages and nobody

1:05:39.680 --> 1:05:42.080
<v Speaker 4>writes back, So what's my motivation? But I would still

1:05:42.120 --> 1:05:45.320
<v Speaker 4>say that putting an effort into that early stage is

1:05:45.360 --> 1:05:47.760
<v Speaker 4>a sign that you're willing to put an effort into

1:05:47.800 --> 1:05:50.480
<v Speaker 4>dating and the relationship. And so I would still say,

1:05:50.600 --> 1:05:53.400
<v Speaker 4>like worth it to write nice comments. They tend to

1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:56.240
<v Speaker 4>get more responses than just to like. And I feel

1:05:56.280 --> 1:05:59.200
<v Speaker 4>okay with you ignoring the people who write hi, how

1:05:59.240 --> 1:06:01.040
<v Speaker 4>are you, unless, of course you think they have a

1:06:01.080 --> 1:06:03.080
<v Speaker 4>really great profile and you know you want to make

1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:03.600
<v Speaker 4>an exception.

1:06:04.080 --> 1:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Look, at the end of the day, I think that dating,

1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean not dating, coach. I think dating should be fun.

1:06:09.720 --> 1:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think that if you're getting really exhausted by it,

1:06:12.160 --> 1:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>or you're hating it, or you're having down moment and

1:06:14.000 --> 1:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you're not enjoying it anymore, I think you can take

1:06:16.160 --> 1:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a break. I think maybe it's time to get off

1:06:18.560 --> 1:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the app for a couple of weeks, just hang out

1:06:20.480 --> 1:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>with some friends go out and try and meet people.

1:06:22.600 --> 1:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>But I would hate for anyone out there to be

1:06:24.840 --> 1:06:28.280
<v Speaker 1>so down and out about dating because they're going through

1:06:28.680 --> 1:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>dating fatigue situation. So the question is for people that

1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>are experiencing dating fatigue, is the right thing to do

1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what I do and just like shut down for a

1:06:37.160 --> 1:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks and just go out and join their

1:06:38.720 --> 1:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>friends and then try and go back on. Because what

1:06:41.320 --> 1:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>happens too is I've been single for the best part

1:06:43.200 --> 1:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>of ten years. A lot of people out there, they

1:06:44.920 --> 1:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>live in the same suburb, right, So when you're online

1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>dating for that long and you live in the same

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>area or the same city, you're seeing a lot of

1:06:51.400 --> 1:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the same people, you're having a lot of the same conversations.

1:06:54.040 --> 1:06:56.200
<v Speaker 3>It does you do get a lot of fatigue. So

1:06:56.240 --> 1:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>what's your advice to those people?

1:06:57.760 --> 1:07:00.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from. And this

1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:01.720
<v Speaker 4>is something I hear about a lot. So there's a

1:07:01.760 --> 1:07:03.840
<v Speaker 4>couple of things you can do. So WAN is just

1:07:03.880 --> 1:07:07.040
<v Speaker 4>taking a break and recharging and whatever that means for you.

1:07:07.200 --> 1:07:09.480
<v Speaker 4>So whether it's like spending a lot of time with friends,

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:12.200
<v Speaker 4>just being at home and reading a book and drinking tea,

1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:14.760
<v Speaker 4>like if you feel like you just want to recharge.

1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:17.720
<v Speaker 4>That's great. I would generally say it would be good

1:07:17.800 --> 1:07:19.320
<v Speaker 4>to have a date in mind that you're going to

1:07:19.360 --> 1:07:21.760
<v Speaker 4>come back, because what I see is sometimes people say

1:07:21.760 --> 1:07:23.200
<v Speaker 4>they're going to take a short break and then they

1:07:23.240 --> 1:07:24.920
<v Speaker 4>don't come back for a long time, and then I

1:07:25.000 --> 1:07:28.120
<v Speaker 4>worry that they're being a hesitator and you know, spending

1:07:28.320 --> 1:07:31.720
<v Speaker 4>too long waiting and not enough time dating. So that's

1:07:31.760 --> 1:07:34.760
<v Speaker 4>one thing I would say. Something else is what is

1:07:34.880 --> 1:07:38.040
<v Speaker 4>making dating feeling like burnout for you? And so one

1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:40.040
<v Speaker 4>of the common things that I see is that people

1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:43.320
<v Speaker 4>are having the same conversations over and over in their chats.

1:07:43.320 --> 1:07:46.360
<v Speaker 4>And so, for example, I had a client who was

1:07:46.760 --> 1:07:49.600
<v Speaker 4>into trap pees and so she had this really cool

1:07:49.840 --> 1:07:53.720
<v Speaker 4>photo of her doing trap peez wearing this leotard, and

1:07:53.800 --> 1:07:55.480
<v Speaker 4>so people would always comment.

1:07:55.480 --> 1:07:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, so cool. How long have you been

1:07:57.520 --> 1:07:58.240
<v Speaker 3>doing trapeze?

1:07:58.240 --> 1:07:59.680
<v Speaker 4>And even though she was proud of it, she got

1:07:59.720 --> 1:08:03.920
<v Speaker 4>so this conversation. So we switched up her profile, new pictures,

1:08:04.000 --> 1:08:07.000
<v Speaker 4>new prompts, and then she got into entirely different conversation

1:08:07.160 --> 1:08:09.840
<v Speaker 4>and so i'd really break down, where am I getting tired?

1:08:10.000 --> 1:08:12.320
<v Speaker 4>Is it that I'm going on too many days a week.

1:08:12.440 --> 1:08:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Is it that I'm having the same type of conversations?

1:08:15.240 --> 1:08:17.880
<v Speaker 4>Is it that I'm not sleeping enough? And so really

1:08:17.920 --> 1:08:20.920
<v Speaker 4>trying to diagnose what's making you feel burned out and

1:08:20.960 --> 1:08:23.479
<v Speaker 4>then addressing that I think is better than just like

1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:28.000
<v Speaker 4>the download, delete, download delete cycle that can get really tiring.

1:08:27.800 --> 1:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Well like, and I think we'll cover it a lot

1:08:29.280 --> 1:08:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of ground today. We so much grown, we go it

1:08:31.920 --> 1:08:33.800

<v Speaker 2>of each and every week. And Brittany Hockley, you can

1:09:47.280 --> 1:09:47.960
<v Speaker 2>kick it off.

1:09:48.160 --> 1:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I got scammed this week. Hell, in order not buy something,

1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to be scammed. This was how crucial thing?

1:09:54.360 --> 1:09:56.200
<v Speaker 3>How much money did you get scammed by? About one

1:09:56.280 --> 1:09:59.360
<v Speaker 3>hundred and twenty dollars? Oh that's yeah, I'd be fucking dirty.

1:09:59.439 --> 1:10:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I'm dirty and they're not paying it back. Did scared?

1:10:02.439 --> 1:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So Dolilah got a period, as we know, she's on

1:10:04.800 --> 1:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>heat and a heat last up to four weeks because

1:10:07.120 --> 1:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I googled that, because I'm like, when is this going

1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to end? So I tried to get her some dog nappies.

1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:14.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a heat nappy, right, It's literally just a nappy.

1:10:15.280 --> 1:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Put your bra back and you're.

1:10:16.640 --> 1:10:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Waving that bra around. Can I stick it to your

1:10:18.680 --> 1:10:21.000
<v Speaker 3>forehead for the rest of the record. I don't want

1:10:21.040 --> 1:10:22.120
<v Speaker 3>to boob sweat on my forehead.

1:10:22.520 --> 1:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>So I quickly tried to get these dog nappies, and

1:10:27.120 --> 1:10:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the pet store in Bondi, like the local one, didn't

1:10:29.439 --> 1:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>have any. They were sold out, so I had to

1:10:30.720 --> 1:10:33.439
<v Speaker 1>get them online, which said next day delivery, so great.

1:10:33.880 --> 1:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>So whilst I was on there, you spend a bit

1:10:35.920 --> 1:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>more for free delivery, right, So I was like, oh'll

1:10:37.400 --> 1:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>throw some toys in. I was like, oh, it's some

1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>big you know.

1:10:39.600 --> 1:10:41.479
<v Speaker 3>I ended up spending about a hundred and fifty bucks.

1:10:41.600 --> 1:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, one hundred and fifty dollars

1:10:43.200 --> 1:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>for nappies is pretty fucking no.

1:10:44.640 --> 1:10:46.799
<v Speaker 1>So I got the big dog food and like, actually

1:10:46.840 --> 1:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the toys in because I was like, I don't ever

1:10:48.280 --> 1:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>want to have.

1:10:49.160 --> 1:10:51.400
<v Speaker 3>Just count baby Friday, let's go for it.

1:10:51.400 --> 1:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't like to leave the house, so they just

1:10:54.360 --> 1:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>never came. Then they started to ask me about my

1:10:57.280 --> 1:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>bank details.

1:10:58.200 --> 1:11:00.200
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, hang on a minute.

1:11:00.160 --> 1:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Wait, where did you order this through Amazon?

1:11:02.439 --> 1:11:05.640
<v Speaker 3>No, it was like some pet circle thing, like an

1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 3>actual website on my Yes, that came recommended. They were like,

1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:10.080
<v Speaker 3>you need to verify it's you so we can send

1:11:10.080 --> 1:11:11.360
<v Speaker 3>it out. But they took the money and I was like,

1:11:11.400 --> 1:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not giving you any verification of my just send

1:11:14.280 --> 1:11:16.040
<v Speaker 3>the product. And then I was like, hang on a minute.

1:11:16.400 --> 1:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Then they kept sending me these automated things and I

1:11:18.479 --> 1:11:20.519
<v Speaker 1>was like, just give me the money back. Then didn't

1:11:20.520 --> 1:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>get the money back, didn't get a product.

1:11:22.439 --> 1:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>And have you called the company because you know that

1:11:24.320 --> 1:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what happened. When we bought the roadcasters, they

1:11:26.880 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't send them to me, and I had to verify

1:11:29.240 --> 1:11:31.160
<v Speaker 2>that the credit because that's not a scam. You need

1:11:31.200 --> 1:11:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to just verify they're a real company. That's a real thing.

1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Why are you no? Because I even sent it to

1:11:37.720 --> 1:11:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Keisha and she said that's dodgy. No, no, no, that's

1:11:40.240 --> 1:11:41.880
<v Speaker 3>like a very it's a very real thing. A lot

1:11:41.880 --> 1:11:42.240
<v Speaker 3>of companies.

1:11:42.240 --> 1:11:44.400
<v Speaker 2>We do it with Tony May if we can't because

1:11:44.520 --> 1:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>for example.

1:11:45.040 --> 1:11:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I hated you just send me the product, because.

1:11:47.479 --> 1:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>So when you buy something in Shopify or through like

1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a you know, any sort of web portal for some reason.

1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes maybe your IP address doesn't match where your credit

1:11:55.920 --> 1:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>card is whatever it is. If there's something that's suspicious

1:11:58.479 --> 1:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>about your purchase, it fly on their end that your

1:12:00.960 --> 1:12:03.200
<v Speaker 2>order looks suspicious and so therefore you need to prove

1:12:03.320 --> 1:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>more identity. You should just have to send across like

1:12:05.760 --> 1:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a copy of your license or something that should.

1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:10.280
<v Speaker 3>They asked for my bank statement.

1:12:10.640 --> 1:12:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, to prove that the credit card is

1:12:12.960 --> 1:12:15.519
<v Speaker 2>linked to that. Yeah, yeah, it's fine, I think.

1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh, just send me my pole company sold you hard basket.

1:12:20.920 --> 1:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>The reason I shop online is I want to sit

1:12:23.160 --> 1:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>there press by and it turns up to my hands.

1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go and make a phone call.

1:12:26.320 --> 1:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go to my bank and story

1:12:28.240 --> 1:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>shot and send.

1:12:28.920 --> 1:12:30.599
<v Speaker 3>Them ship like yours.

1:12:30.720 --> 1:12:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Suck is more so that you don't want to spend

1:12:32.479 --> 1:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>time to prove your identity rather than getting scared.

1:12:34.479 --> 1:12:35.519
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it appears that way.

1:12:35.600 --> 1:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>You didn't get skipped all that I am because they

1:12:38.360 --> 1:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>haven't responded. They won't give me my money back, so

1:12:40.600 --> 1:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>they're just pretending now that I'm not here.

1:12:43.320 --> 1:12:44.920
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about this off qua what's your sweet for

1:12:44.960 --> 1:12:49.080
<v Speaker 3>the week. My suite for the week is I'm still

1:12:49.520 --> 1:12:53.240
<v Speaker 3>no crushing. I'm already No, I'm crushing hard. No, look,

1:12:53.240 --> 1:12:54.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm feeling my breasts.

1:12:54.240 --> 1:12:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I am going to tell you that this is

1:12:57.320 --> 1:12:58.599
<v Speaker 2>a disaster waiting to happen.

1:12:58.680 --> 1:13:01.679
<v Speaker 3>Brittany. You always you know me, yep, and I'm.

1:13:01.520 --> 1:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Always correct this may I need some support every noight again, Laura, there.

1:13:05.280 --> 1:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Has been some that I've been supported, this new one.

1:13:07.560 --> 1:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>This is a bad idea, Brittany Hockley.

1:13:09.080 --> 1:13:10.720
<v Speaker 3>And you know it. Look in my face now.

1:13:10.840 --> 1:13:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe that we have a dating relationship podcast

1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>and after three years you are still entertaining this relationship.

1:13:18.000 --> 1:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Firstly, firstly, you know I have an attraction to people

1:13:23.920 --> 1:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that aren't here.

1:13:25.360 --> 1:13:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I'm commitment fo I know I would a

1:13:29.000 --> 1:13:30.240
<v Speaker 3>red flag because I know it.

1:13:30.560 --> 1:13:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I also want to make this very plea to everybody

1:13:33.040 --> 1:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>listening to this. This is I'm not being the hard

1:13:35.360 --> 1:13:38.680
<v Speaker 2>ass best friend. If you knew all the details around this,

1:13:38.880 --> 1:13:41.519
<v Speaker 2>which you don't, but if you did, you would come

1:13:41.720 --> 1:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and smack Brittany and say you are being such a

1:13:44.200 --> 1:13:45.120
<v Speaker 2>naughty little girl.

1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Do not try and entertain this day.

1:13:47.400 --> 1:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>What's the detail you don't like that he doesn't live

1:13:49.840 --> 1:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>in this country, to turn on that he's physically not here,

1:13:55.840 --> 1:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>turn on that you only knew him for two days,

1:13:58.479 --> 1:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>and now you're in love with him.

1:14:00.080 --> 1:14:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Not in love with him, I'm in lust with him.

1:14:02.439 --> 1:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It was three days and we've been speaking for a

1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>long time now.

1:14:06.080 --> 1:14:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Of course on social media. I can't guys. Okay, okay.

1:14:09.920 --> 1:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>My SLFE for the week is that Britney never learns.

1:14:13.439 --> 1:14:15.160
<v Speaker 3>She never learns from her mistakes.

1:14:15.200 --> 1:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm so tired three years of being the responsible one.

1:14:18.880 --> 1:14:22.000
<v Speaker 3>It's too much. You're tired. But let's be real. I'm

1:14:22.040 --> 1:14:25.719
<v Speaker 3>giving you content. That's all I need, and I'm learning slowly.

1:14:28.080 --> 1:14:32.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just so hot to me. He's very attractive. It's

1:14:32.080 --> 1:14:33.479
<v Speaker 3>the whole situation's hot.

1:14:33.600 --> 1:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Like oh, there's so many red flags, like do you

1:14:35.960 --> 1:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>know what someone just says, I'm not here that I

1:14:40.680 --> 1:14:41.439
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to you.

1:14:41.600 --> 1:14:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, yes.

1:14:43.240 --> 1:14:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not available. I can't commit to you. And I also.

1:14:47.960 --> 1:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>To drop a crucial piece of information Laura that just delete,

1:14:51.840 --> 1:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>delete that out.

1:14:54.280 --> 1:15:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Fucking delete. Yes, I know, but maybe this is the no.

1:15:00.479 --> 1:15:02.719
<v Speaker 1>But maybe you and I need to have a talk

1:15:03.520 --> 1:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>about maybe what's right for sum sorrow for others. And

1:15:06.439 --> 1:15:09.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm never going to be the person because I'm

1:15:09.240 --> 1:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>so fucked up that needs someone in my space all

1:15:11.680 --> 1:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the time. Maybe I can't deal with that and I

1:15:13.680 --> 1:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>go into a shell of myself. I don't know, because

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had it. But there's definitely something to me

1:15:19.000 --> 1:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that loves the idea of being in love and having

1:15:23.280 --> 1:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a relationship where you do only see each other sporadically, but.

1:15:28.040 --> 1:15:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Then they cheat.

1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>You still have to deal with the heartbreak, and that

1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>means so do we.

1:15:37.600 --> 1:15:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's cute for you. Yeah, one of my

1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>best friends forever.

1:15:42.720 --> 1:15:45.799
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, I love you're dealing with. My heartbreak

1:15:45.880 --> 1:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was pretty tough love. It was pretty fucking get back

1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:51.680
<v Speaker 1>out there, please do not out of band. No, absolutely

1:15:51.680 --> 1:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>it was not.

1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look, Britt, I want you to be happy. I

1:15:57.960 --> 1:15:59.559
<v Speaker 2>just don't want you to date fuck boys. And after

1:15:59.600 --> 1:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>this episodisode of talking about dating fuck boys.

1:16:01.960 --> 1:16:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Now I know I've also said this before, but I

1:16:03.720 --> 1:16:10.280
<v Speaker 3>don't think he is all right. What's your or is

1:16:10.320 --> 1:16:13.719
<v Speaker 3>it that late? If I'm talking? What is your suck?

1:16:13.880 --> 1:16:17.080
<v Speaker 3>So my suck for the week. No, you're not my suck.

1:16:17.160 --> 1:16:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I love you, and I do appreciate the content, but

1:16:19.200 --> 1:16:23.600
<v Speaker 2>holy dick. Sometimes I'm like, holy dick, Holy dick. My

1:16:23.640 --> 1:16:25.439
<v Speaker 2>stuck for the week is that Matt had the man

1:16:25.479 --> 1:16:28.000
<v Speaker 2>flew over the weekend, which meant he spent the whole

1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>time in bed, which you know, it hits him hard.

1:16:31.680 --> 1:16:33.320
<v Speaker 2>He had to stay in bed and watch TikTok for you,

1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, though, he was actually really he was

1:16:36.400 --> 1:16:38.880
<v Speaker 2>really genuinely sick. And I take the piss because he's

1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:41.200
<v Speaker 2>normally he's usually so hands on with the kids, He's

1:16:41.200 --> 1:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>so hands on with everything.

1:16:42.160 --> 1:16:42.719
<v Speaker 3>Around the house.

1:16:42.960 --> 1:16:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Actually he was like flawed on Saturday, couldn't get out

1:16:46.760 --> 1:16:48.640
<v Speaker 2>of bed until three or four pm. And then come

1:16:48.680 --> 1:16:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Sunday he was pretty good. But like we were testing

1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:53.280
<v Speaker 2>for COVID all weekend and no no COVID.

1:16:53.240 --> 1:16:54.719
<v Speaker 3>Just the flu. Okay.

1:16:54.920 --> 1:16:57.439
<v Speaker 2>My sweet for the week is that last week was

1:16:57.479 --> 1:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Tony May Black Friday sales and it was like busy.

1:17:00.400 --> 1:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>This week I think we've ever had it was bananas.

1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:04.880
<v Speaker 2>It's so sometimes it's this weird thing to me that

1:17:04.920 --> 1:17:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I had this whole other life, like my Tony May

1:17:07.400 --> 1:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>life is just this completely separate business and real job.

1:17:11.439 --> 1:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So what I what I'm hearing in that was I'm

1:17:14.000 --> 1:17:16.040
