WEBVTT - Tuesday ASK UNCUT episode - the old bait and switch

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>One Cut.

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm Brittany and I'm Laura, and we are mixing it

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>up this week.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Tuesday, but we are bringing you our Thursday

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>episode of Ask Uncut.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Now, we do have a good reason.

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a little bit confusing.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 4>I know, I know, but you know, at work has

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 4>just been very, very all consuming in.

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 2>The last couple of days.

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 4>I have a lot happening with Tony Bay and then

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 4>it's also been Father's Day, and our Tuesday episode is

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.959
<v Speaker 4>the episode that requires a lot more research and preparation,

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 4>and so we decided that instead of just slapping something

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 4>together half asked and half.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>Bay, because we are not about that I'm.

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Gonna slap guys.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 4>We wouldn't do that to you, which bullhole all the time.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 4>So we're just gonna mix things out. We're going to

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 4>do our Thursday's episode today, which is our Asking Cut episode.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Answer your deep, dark and dirty questions.

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 3>A la la la la, yeh, there she is.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>There's that's been It's been a little while.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>It's been a little while since I've done that sound,

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't want you to think it's completely gone away.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not opposed to it going away.

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's going to be someone out there who likes it.

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe one person we don't know.

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, So Thursday's episode, we're going to be talking

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 4>just to give you a little taste test so you

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 4>know what's coming. We're going to be talking about dating

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 4>someone who has narcissistic personality disorder, which if you've ever dated.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Someone you will know it's great, real fun.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>That's a lie. It's not.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like burning and the floor is lava and everything's

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>on fire and you're dying. But before we get.

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Into that, how was Father's Day?

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Well, it didn't get mad at present, but I

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>did it. But I did a lot of acts of service,

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>right mate.

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's slow down. We're only two minutes in. Again, that

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>might be a new record.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And we had sex, but that wasn't the acts service

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>that I was talking about. I like cook, I cleaned.

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>I you should stop the list there.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I just did. I took care of Marley's that he

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>could go to the gym.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think it's really interesting because I think when

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 4>it's Mother's Day, if you ask any mum what they

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 4>want for Mother's Day, they'll say, I just want some

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 4>time to myself. I want to go for a massage,

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.359
<v Speaker 4>or I want to go away from you and the

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 4>kids and everyone, and I want to spend some time

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 4>to myself. If you ask father's what they want for

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Father's Day, they're like, I just want to spend time

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>with my family.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cute, though, but that's because the mom spends

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the time anyway. So it's just like,

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>please give me some peace and quiet. You always want

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what you don't have on the rag, right, Oh my god.

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 4>So we had a really cute morning together. We did breakfast,

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>Matt went to the gym, I cleaned, and I cooked,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 4>and I cleaned some more, and I got my real

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>housewife on and then we had a in the afternoon

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 4>and it was cute.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>We just had a real aussy Father's Day. And you

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>went to Port Macquarie. Yeah. Look I saw in the truck,

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.839
<v Speaker 2>went up the coast, saw big tones. He was doing

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>really well. Shout out. No.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 3>Dad is our biggest fan.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Anyone that listens to this knows that he, or anyone

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.839
<v Speaker 1>on the Instagram page. Dad's very He's very proactive there

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>way even their life uncut flag. We've got plenty of

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>time for it, but he had his own accidentally unfiltered,

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>so I'm I'm gonna tell you, and he was like

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>super excited to tell me too, because he's like, a

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>why he's like an accidentally unfiltered So basically, he went

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to get his hair cut. Okay, he just went to

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>get a trim. He went in there and it was

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a lady sitting down. There was only one person, so

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>she was already cutting Sal's hair. So she turns around

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, hey, look it's gonna be a little while.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you crawl across.

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>To the pub and have a drink or something or

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>come back. Like anyone that knows my dad knows, he's

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>not really a pub person, like he would run. He

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>would probably go for a half hour run then go

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to the pub. But she's like, go have a across

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the pub, have a drink, come back, and I'll do

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>your hair then. And there was a lady standing next

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to him who was the mother of the girl getting

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a haircut.

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Dad recognizes are as this woman.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>From a coffee shop. So she's like, go and have

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a beer. And the woman next to Dad is like, oh,

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound like a bad idea, and Dad's like, well,

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>come on over to the like, come on over and

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll buy you a drink while we wait, and she's like,

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, fuck it, let's go have a drink at

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the pub. So Dad and his in inverted brackets Comma's

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>friend went across to the pub for a beer.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Dad bought her a drink. They're having a yard and

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Dad's like, how's are the pups the dogs?

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And the lady hesitated for a second and she's like,

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, they're.

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Good, They're fine.

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And Dad's like that's good, good, and he's like he's

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>like it was a bit of a weird answer, like

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>she was a bit stand offish. And then he's like,

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>what about the coffee shop? Because this woman that dad

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>was weir it owns a coffee shop. What about the

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>coffee shop? How's coffee shop? Have you been going in

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>COVID and everything? And the lady was like, oh, I

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>mean yeah, a bit quite for a little while, but

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>we're doing okay.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 3>And Dad was like she was really weird, Like she

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 3>just real standoffish.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I know where this is going. I

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>already feels so uncomfortable for your dad.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So they had this like they had this whole date.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>My dad's been married forty two years and he went

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>on a date here to know. So they go back

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>to the hairdresser and they end up getting a haircut

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and he says he's goodbyes. The next day, he goes

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to the coffee shop, because he's a regularly coffee shop.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 3>He goes to the coffee shop.

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>He looked at the lady behind the counter that he

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>thought he bought a drink the night before, and he's like,

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.479
<v Speaker 1>holy shit, who the hell.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Did I take on a date last night?

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Because this is not you.

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not the lady that I was bought a drink

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>for last night. Dad like, Dad's at a loss. He

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>goes home to Nikki, my mom. He's like, Nick, I'd

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I've accidentally gone on a date a month.

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Thought was hilarious. But then it gets worse. Did he

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>like you're his number or something?

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>No, So it turns out a few days later, Dane,

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>who's my brother. This is so convoluted and this is

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Port McQuary for you. The lady has said to Dane,

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>this the lady that Dad did take on a day

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>He's like, look, I saw you walk past the other

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>day with your dad, and I'm pretty sure he took

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>me on a date thinking it was someone else and

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>was like this big convoluted story. Came back, got back

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to dad. Dad went back to do and he's like, look,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry that that happened. Like I thought you

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>were someone else, and I thought you were a friend

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm married for four jers, was all.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>This big fuck up. Wow.

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, welcome to Port mcray. It's a small, insular little town.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Four dad first date he's been on in like forty

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>five years, and he didn't even know he was on one.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Even he's out there picking up people. He's looking at

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>for that I'm picking up.

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Well. Coming off the back of your actually unfiltered stories,

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I figured we should just instead of going completely rogue

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.799
<v Speaker 1>on this episode and it all feeling very unfamiliar territory

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>to you, I thought I would read you out and

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>accidentally unfiltered the story they.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 4>Came in just before because it gave me a good giggle.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>So you know that this is our favorite part of

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 4>the episode. So I was like, I'll throw one in

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>for you, okay, go okay. So me and my partner

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 4>are relatively new into our relationship and exploring in the

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 4>bedroom if you're catching what I'm throwing anyway, So a

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 4>bit of butt stuff never hurt anybody, right, No.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'd probably have that statement is incorrect. I think

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>a few people don't enjoy the but stuff, but some

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>people do. You know, different strokes for different folks.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure you're getting where I'm going and putting

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>two and two together. So yes, we get to the

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>end of the session as such, we're like, wait, where

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 1>is the vibrator. I can hear it buzzing away. Oh

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>my god, please tell me it's under the bed.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>It's nowhere to be seen.

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 4>It's at this point that we both realize that the

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 4>vibrator is stuck in my butt.

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>It was horrified and immediately started freaking out.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I ran into the bathroom through fits of tears, and

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>had to poop out the tiny vibrator. My partner then

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>weirdly reassures me by saying, don't worry, babe, the exact

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>same thing happened to me in the past.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah ye, good need too. Good thing. Good news is

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the vibrator was retrieved. It's safe and sound.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>The thing that I'm most concerned about is the fact

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>that this isn't like a new vibrator that the two

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>of you have bought together to use.

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 2>This is something that he's had before and has been

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>stuck in his own butt and didn't feel the need

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>to tell you that.

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm more concerned. We have a few concerns. I love

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 3>that you guys are going for it. Love that in

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 3>my industry, I see a lot of things up people's butts.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 3>It's my job. I have to find them, like we

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 3>do the imaging. We go to the operating theaters.

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>When I have to go out foa for an object anal.

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>I have seen a lot of stuff up, But I

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's funny that she doesn't realize how close she

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>came to a really embarrassing hospital trip.

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 2>All usually poop out.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.199
<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, so pretty just took that and made

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 4>it really medical. Thanks for shitting on that story.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Anyway. Let's get into the ask gun cuts guys.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 4>All right, have you got one first? Start hot off

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 4>the ranks? Yes, I do, and it is very relative

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 4>to what we just discussed. Ladies, My boyfriend is really

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 4>into butt stuff.

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Me not so much.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 4>I find it very uncomfortable and it really hurts. But

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 4>he is very persistent that he wants to try it

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 4>in the bedroom.

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 2>What should I do? I just thought, since we were

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>on the tame, Yeah, I like.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I like it's a smooth transition.

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I think this is easy.

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think anything can go down in the bedroom, anything

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 1>you want, as long as you're both on board with it,

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you both feel comfortable with it, You've discussed it, and

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a safe, open, comfortable environment. The second one person

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>in the relationship doesn't want to do something, you don't

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.959
<v Speaker 1>have to do it. And if you try to do

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it to make your partner happy, it's never ever going

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>to end well, not healthy in the relationship to be

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>doing something simply to please your partner. I mean, look,

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>we all make sacrifices and do things in life. We

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do blowjobs, your acts.

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Of service on Father's Day nailed neck.

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>No, But like, sometimes you've got to make those sacrifices

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>for the ones you love.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 2>But that doesn't mean that you have to do butt stuff.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>No, No, it doesn't.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is what I'm saying is like, yeah,

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>you do have to meet halfway, sometimes meet in the middle,

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>but you don't have to meet in the butt. No.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Seriously, though, you don't. You do not have to do it.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>You can just have a conversation. And so I'm not

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with it. I don't really want to do it.

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we could try something else, or you can throw

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>some suggestions out there yourself, but don't feel pressured.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Look, I am fully there with you, Britt, I think.

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously some people are super into it, that's great.

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.599
<v Speaker 4>I am definitely one of the women who are of

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 4>the thoughts that there's a perfectly good hole in.

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>The front, and that the one in the back is

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a one way. It's got to stop signed right at

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the front door. And I honestly think that there are

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>guys out there who who think that every single girl

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>can do it, and that every single girl will enjoy

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>it if they give it a go. I disagree, Okay, Like, yes,

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 1>there are some girls out there who have done it

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and they have grown to like it and they enjoy it.

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, there are other people out there

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 1>who consistently don't enjoy it. It's painful, it's uncomfortable, and

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to bend what your boundaries are to

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.439
<v Speaker 1>make somebody else happy. Like, you know what, if that's

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a deal breaker for him in the bedroom.

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 4>If he absolutely has to do that and that's one

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 4>of his number one fetishes, then maybe you guys are

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 4>not sexually compatible. However, if he respects you and loves

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.959
<v Speaker 4>you and really cherishes the relationship, he's not going to

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 4>push something that makes you uncomfortable, that makes you upset.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, he can get his rocks off other ways.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 4>It can't be the only thing that gets him off.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.599
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of relationships where one person in the

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>relationship do want certain things and do have certain fetishes,

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't have to mean that the relationships over.

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.559
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to mean you're not sexually compatible. It

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>just has to mean that you meet halfway.

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 3>But this is easy for me.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, it's just explaining that it's not what

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.839
<v Speaker 1>you're into, and if you guys love each other, you'll

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>just move on and it won't be it won't come

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>up in topic again.

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But that's the thing I think is can be

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 4>sometimes a bit confusing or a bit aggravating or disappointing

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 4>in this type of conversation is that often you do

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.199
<v Speaker 4>have the conversation with a guy and say you're not interested,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 4>and then they bring it up again and then they

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, it just seems they do. They're like whoops,

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, or just try just give it a crack,

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 4>you know. But like, I think that there are some

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 4>men that are very persistent and don't take no or

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 4>don't take that you're uncomfortable as like a hard no.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's that's a whole nother topic of conversation,

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 4>isn't it men in general who don't see Noah's and no,

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 4>they see Noah's and maybe. But I think if he

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 4>respects you enough and you have explained why, and you

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 4>know for whatever reason that why is, that should be

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 4>enough in your relationship for him to respect it and

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 4>drop it. And unless you bring it up again in

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 4>the future because you've decided that you want to try it,

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 4>it shouldn't be a conversation that you keep having every

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.719
<v Speaker 4>single time you have sex, because that's just almost like

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 4>being badgered into.

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Doing something that you don't want to do. So stand

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you ground, girlfriend, Yeah, stay away from the butt.

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Question number two. Okay, this is a bit more serious.

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 3>Fast is no? I think we're going uphill now? That

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 3>was down. Okay.

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I've been with my boyfriend for five years. Since we're eighteen,

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I moved away from the country to study at UNI,

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and eventually he followed. I have two years of my

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>degree left, and he has told me that he wants

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to move back home to the country because he doesn't

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like his job and the city lifestyle. We had previously

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>discussed that we would both move when I finish UNI.

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Is it fair that I feel really hurt by this?

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that I'm not enough for him to

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>just stick it out and find another job up here

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>until I finish. I'm almost certain that long distance wouldn't work,

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to miss out on these fun

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>young years together being five hours apart all the time.

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 3>What are your thoughts on this?

0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 4>I actually have some pretty strong thoughts on this, because

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.559
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I was in this exact situation when

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.839
<v Speaker 4>I was when I finished UNI. So I studied in

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Wollongong and I met a guy who has had moved

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 4>to Lismore and he was studying up there. So as

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 4>soon as I finished my degree in Woollongong, I moved

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 4>to Lismore to be with him, and he had two

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 4>years left of his degree. We'd kind of done like

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 4>about eight months long distance at the start of our relationship,

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 4>and I did a year in Lismore and Lizmore's very

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 4>country for anyone who doesn't know, it's like the Northern

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Rivers region. It's about forty five minutes inland from Byron,

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 4>So you know, I just felt really displaced there.

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have any friends.

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 4>I didn't really I didn't really get a good job,

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 4>Like I was working in a job that wasn't very

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 4>inspiring for me, especially when I just finished my UNI degree,

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 4>and I found it really really difficult. And after a

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 4>year I chose to move home. And I feel like

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 4>we were in a very similar situation this, but in

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 4>the reverse almost. I guess, like my thoughts on this

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 4>is kind of trying to see it from the guy's

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 4>perspective and play a bit of the devil's advocate. I

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 4>think it's really hard to expect someone to put their

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 4>life on hold for two years. To having two years

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 4>left of your unique degree is a really, really long

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 4>time if your partner is really really unhappy being where

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 4>he is. And I don't think that one person and

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 4>your relationship is enough of a source of happiness to

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 4>make someone stay somewhere where everything else doesn't align with

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 4>their sense of purpose, because two years is a long

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 4>time to feel like you don't have purpose outside of

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 4>a relationship.

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I know that that's probably not what you want to.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 4>Hear, because it's pretty heartbreaking when you think that you're

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 4>not enough. But yeah, my relationship wasn't enough, and I

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 4>ended up moving back. It didn't like we still did

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 4>long distance, Like we made that work for a couple

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 4>of years after that, and we ended up, you know,

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 4>living together again in Sydney after he'd finished his degree.

0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know.

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 4>I just think I understand what it's like to be

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 4>somewhere and feel like you don't belong there.

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Where do I start?

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>You're like controversial because we don't agree. No, look, I agree,

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I do agree with what you just said for sure,

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and I can see that. But I think this might

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>be the first time you and I might actually disagree.

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 4>We did talk about this topic a little bit before

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 4>we started recording, and we could not We couldn't get

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 4>to you same like, we couldn't get to the same place.

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny that's never happened. Ever, It's never happened

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in a history of life uncut. We pretty much end

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>up even if it's in a roundabout way we usually

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>end up agreeing. Now, I'm I'm not straight out disagree

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>with you at all, because I do I agree with

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>what you said that like, if someone is inherently unhappy

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 1>where they are, they shouldn't have to be there. But

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>what I also think that means, and this is again, guys,

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 1>this is just two people's opinions that have both been

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>in this situation. What I think that does mean is

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.080
<v Speaker 1>that maybe it's not maybe it's not the person and

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>for you forever. I'm of the belief controversial, but I'm

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of the belief that at different points in your life

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 1>are going to have to do some things, make some compromises,

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 1>settle just a little bit for your partner, because your

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.719
<v Speaker 1>partner's going to be at a point in their life

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>where they're gonna need you and they're going to have

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to do something for them and that is one hundred

0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>percent going to be reciprocated. There's going to be a

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>time when they're then going to have to go and

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>follow their dream or do their thing. It's going to

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>be a different timeline and you'll have to meet them halfway.

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 3>For that as well.

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>You're going to have to make compromises as well, because

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>relationships and life, it's literally the foundation is compromise. You're

0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>never going to meet two people. They're going to go

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>through life and be at the exact same point in life,

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.160
<v Speaker 1>what the exact same things, have, the exact same things

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 1>drive them, make them happy, feel their soul like that

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>is almost unheard of that two people will go on.

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 3>That journey at identical times.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that personally, I would feel what you're feeling

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>if my partner said I don't want.

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 3>To be here and support you at this time.

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>If it's different, if he's going back now you haven't

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>specified this, it's different. If he's going back because his

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Uni degree is there or his dream job has come up,

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this is completely different. If he's going back to do

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the same thing and just do life somewhere else without

0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you at the same pace, I think that that's indicative

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that maybe he's not willing to make a sacrifice for

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a short term. Now, does this mean your relationships over No.

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Does it mean you can't do long distance? No, you

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 1>absolutely can do long distance. I am going to say

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that your feelings are warranted, and I feel like from

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>just from the information you've given me that I think

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 1>he should have stuck it out with you for the

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 1>rest of the time, knowing full well that you said,

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you're done, you'll go back to the country,

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>to the place that makes him happy. Like you guys

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.600
<v Speaker 1>have said you're going back to that place. Yeah, maybe

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we will get to the same place, Brie, maybe we

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 1>will do like a good spiel, it was a good spill.

0:18:58.640 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>But like I'm not fully like.

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing that I want to add to this

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 4>is like you guys are young, Like by the sounds

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 4>of things, like you're at university, you're still trying to

0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 4>figure stuff out for your own lives and like where

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 4>you want to be and what you want to do

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 4>with yourselves. And there was a part of your question

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 4>where you said, you know we are young, we shouldn't

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 4>be enjoying this time together, you know, having fun and

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.159
<v Speaker 4>not doing long distance. I guess, seeing things from his

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 4>perspective a little bit, he is young, and he probably

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.160
<v Speaker 4>feels like he doesn't want to waste those young years

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.880
<v Speaker 4>being somewhere where he's not happy as well, So there

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 4>are two sides to this, I guess, Like the big

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 4>thing is is no matter what's happening, in relationship. Like, yes, relationships,

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 4>there are sacrifices that have to be made, but if

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.320
<v Speaker 4>somebody doesn't want to make those sacrifices, you can't force

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 4>them to do that because that's what will make you happy.

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.280
<v Speaker 4>And you're absolutely entitled to feel sad or to feel lost,

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 4>or to feel like you've been robbed of a decision

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 4>that you made together because he has essentially changed his mind.

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 4>But you can't really hold it against someone if they

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 4>want to go and do something that's gonna make them happy,

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 4>that's just him living his life as well. And unfortunately

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 4>that's just the shitty ups and downs of relationships and

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 4>trying to figure it out and make it work and

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 4>figure out whether this guy's you're Penquin or not.

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think all you can do in this situation

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is be really honest with him, ask him to be

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>honest with you. All you can say is I don't

0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>want you to go. I want you to stay. I

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>want you to be here and support me. I don't

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.240
<v Speaker 1>want to live my life without you, but I want

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 1>you to be happy. So make your decision based on

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>what's going to make you absolutely happy.

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 3>And then if he.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Decides that he still wants to go. You've got to

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.199
<v Speaker 1>let him go. There's nothing you can do. You can

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.119
<v Speaker 1>still try and still try the relationship, but then be

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>true to yourself, be honest yourself. If you're not happy,

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 1>then doing long distance, if it's putting strain on it,

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>then you're gonna have to reassess and have another conversation.

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 1>But I remember when I was with my partner for

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>five years, same as this girl said, I moved away

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>to UNI and done.

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:02.400
<v Speaker 3>He didn't want to move.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 1>He had a great job, really high paying job. He

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was surfed every weekend, and he was competing. He was

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>he had his whole life where he was, and it

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even a question for him. He packed up everything

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to move with me. And I even said to him like,

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're not, you know, you don't have to, even

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.679
<v Speaker 1>though like that was a rhetorical like I wanted him

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:21.359
<v Speaker 1>to be like you have to.

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I was just trying to be the good girlfriend.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I was like, don't anything I won't do. But then

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>if he said Noel would be like, well, the actual

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 1>fuck no.

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 3>But he was like why wouldn't. He's like it's three years. Brittany.

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>In the scheme of things, like I don't want to

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 1>spend three years without you. So he moved and took

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a lower paying job and he didn't love his life.

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But I was there, and so I guess that's me

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>looking back at my like at my own experience in

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>my relationship, and I just think, for the person that

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I love, and I can say this, I would move

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>anywhere if it was the person that I love more

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.720
<v Speaker 1>than anything, and I thought that was my soulmate, my penguin,

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I would just move.

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:57.400
<v Speaker 4>But that's the question, right, Like, maybe maybe the way

0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 4>that you view the relationship and what you want out

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 4>of the relationship is essentially different to the way he

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 4>views it. And I think that like people's actions and

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 4>people's actions speak very loudly about their priorities, and right

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 4>now his priorities. That he's saying that he's not happy

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 4>being there, and that you know, as much as like

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 4>he may love being with you and being in the relationship,

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.160
<v Speaker 4>the relationship itself is not big enough to satisfy all

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 4>the other parts of his personality that make him happy.

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 4>And so that's why he's doing this part for himself.

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 4>And you're absolutely entitled to be sad and to feel

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 4>the way that you feel about it, but that doesn't

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 4>mean that you can control him or make him do

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.119
<v Speaker 4>something that he doesn't want to do. Basically, so I

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.199
<v Speaker 4>think that the only thing that you can do right

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 4>now is just wait and see what decision he makes

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 4>and then make your decisions based off that.

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 3>After telling him what you want, or have the combo.

0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Have the combo open channels of communication. I reckon we've

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 4>covered that as much as we can. We're probably not

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 4>going to get No, you are in the same spot.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Just had this.

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Both have had the experience, so we both felt really

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:04.040
<v Speaker 1>strongly about it.

0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 2>But also from the opposite spectrum.

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's move on to the last question,

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>question number three. Girls, My partner has a fairly significant

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>gambling problem. He has been on again, off again with

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>his habit for quite some time. Things start to get

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>back on track, he gets back into saving money and

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>staying away from the gambling, etc. Things are really good.

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Then something happens and he gets angry, frustrated. It just

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 1>switches and he gambles it all away again. He's stealing

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the process now of paying back gambling debts. I feel

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>in some ways he's holding me back from living the

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.280
<v Speaker 1>life that I want obviously I really love him, or

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't still be with him. However, I guess what

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking is, do you think people are capable of change?

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm torn as to whether I believe he will ever

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>truly kick this habit, and I suppose that makes me

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>afraid to have a future with him, as I don't

0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.919
<v Speaker 1>want to put myself into a really shitty financial position

0:23:59.160 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 1>if this.

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Continues to happen.

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I understand this is hard, but any advice.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Would be appreciated.

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 4>There's this such a hard one. I mean, I haven't

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 4>had any experience with somebody like I've never dated a

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 4>guy who has a gambling addiction. I definitely dated people

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 4>who have other significant addictions in their life. And I

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 4>think that maybe it's the same sentiment that kind of

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 4>runs across all addictive personalities. If he doesn't want to change,

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 4>if he doesn't genuinely, deeply want to change his behavior,

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 4>he's never going to. And there's no amount of you,

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, trying to persuade him with your love and

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 4>affection and care for him that's going to make him change.

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 4>And I think sometimes there is that saying that people

0:24:43.680 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 4>need to hit rock bottom before they actually really really

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.200
<v Speaker 4>want to make a difference in their life. I really

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 4>think you have to have such a significant and honest

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 4>conversation with him about it, and you need to instead

0:24:55.520 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 4>of maybe putting parameters in place for him and his gamble,

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 4>that obviously like goes without saying, but putting some parameters

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 4>in place and some boundaries in place for yourself so

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 4>that if he keeps crossing those boundaries and he does

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 4>do this again another time, like that's it. Like you know,

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 4>you can't keep saying, oh, I'm you know, this time

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be different, and this time it's going

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 4>to be different. And then each time the goalpost keeps

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 4>moving and you just keep getting further down the rabbit

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 4>hole and nothing changes.

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 3>This is a super hard one. Again.

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I also, like Laura, I have never dated somebody with

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a gambling addiction. Have dated people with addictions, but not gambling.

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>But like Laura just said, I think it all goes

0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:38.080
<v Speaker 1>hand in hand with addictions. He has to want to

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>change himself and he has to be at a point

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>where he's open to help. You can offer all the

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.920
<v Speaker 1>help you want. You can wave it in his face

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 1>like a hot piece of fresh bacon. If he's not hungry,

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna eat it.

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.720
<v Speaker 4>When things come to a head and you're like, I'm

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:57.000
<v Speaker 4>leaving for a very like reactional and quick band aid

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:58.680
<v Speaker 4>fix for someone to try and say, oh, I don't

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm gonna not do it anymore. I'm gonna

0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:03.640
<v Speaker 4>make sure you know, and then as soon as things

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 4>go back to normal in your relationship, those promises all

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:10.159
<v Speaker 4>fall by the wayside pretty quickly. I think if genuinely,

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 4>if this is something that's going to stop, like, he

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 4>needs to be making significant actions in his day to

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 4>day life, not just when when you're threatening to leave.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 4>He needs to be going and speaking to someone, going

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.280
<v Speaker 4>and speaking to a therapist or a counselor or somebody

0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:26.920
<v Speaker 4>who can work through addiction problems with gambling, like there

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 4>are there are support groups that are specifically dedicated to

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.160
<v Speaker 4>people who have gambling addictions. And I think that if

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:37.199
<v Speaker 4>this is something that is significantly affecting both of your

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 4>lives and he is saying that he's committed to change,

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 4>then his action really needs to show that he is

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 4>committed to change and he needs to be implementing this stuff,

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 4>and you know, if he does fall off the bandwagon,

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 4>then there's consequences for that, and potentially those consequences are

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 4>that the relationship is no longer is no longer there.

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Otherwise you will find yourself down the track in five

0:26:58.240 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 4>years or ten years time, and you won't have the

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 4>life that you want because you'll still be dealing with

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 4>someone who hasn't made the changes that they kept promising

0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 4>all this time.

0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>The answer your question, like, your feelings are so warranted,

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and the fact of the matter is, gambling does ruin

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of relationships. There are a lot of marriages

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that have broken down from gambling addictions, a lot of

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 1>relationships that have not progressed because of this. Can people

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>change absolutely? Can people recover? Absolutely? They can only when

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 1>they're ready and only with the right help. So I'm

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:29.959
<v Speaker 1>not going to tell you to leave. I'm not going

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to tell you to do anything. What I am going

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to say is if this is a recurring theme and

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not seeking help, then yes, if I were you,

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I would be thinking very very seriously about if this

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>is the life I want.

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 4>I guess, like, the one thing I want to add

0:27:47.040 --> 0:27:49.119
<v Speaker 4>to this conversation is that, like when you're dealing with

0:27:49.200 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 4>somebody who has when you're in a relationship with somebody

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 4>who has a gambling addiction or any sort of addiction.

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>The issue isn't just.

0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 4>The fact that they have that they have a weakness,

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 4>or that they are gambling. The issues that come with

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 4>it is the inherent lying that goes with gambling. Because

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure that your partner is saying that he's not

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 4>doing it. I'm sure he's saying that he's, you know,

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 4>working towards getting better or like that, you know the

0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 4>money's not being spent, and then you find out or

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 4>it's uncovered that you know money's being blown, and you

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 4>feel like you've been deceived. So there's so many more

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 4>layers to it than just the actual gambling itself and

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 4>the spending of money. There's this feeling of betrayal that

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:30.280
<v Speaker 4>comes when you're the partner of someone who has a

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 4>gambling addiction. I mean, just to reiterate, I think that

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 4>the most important thing that you can do is to

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 4>really encourage him to get help and to take this seriously.

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 4>And then you know, secondly, I know BRIT's saying that

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 4>she's not going to tell you to leave him, and

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm definitely not going to do that either. But I

0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 4>think it is really important for you to assess whether

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 4>you actually think that any change has been happening or

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 4>whether there's been a whole lot of empty promises. Because

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 4>I really like this saying that when someone shows you

0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 4>who they are, believe them the first time. Don't believe

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:02.080
<v Speaker 4>them on what they say they're going to do, don't

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 4>believe them on what they promise you. You really have

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.719
<v Speaker 4>to take people at face value. And if this has

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:12.560
<v Speaker 4>been going on for months or years throughout your entire relationship,

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 4>then unless something significantly changes in his actions, yes, this

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 4>will be something that will continue throughout your whole relationship.

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Especially because the big problem with gambling is it brings

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:29.719
<v Speaker 1>problems into your work, relationship, to friends and other family members,

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, it's not just where's my money,

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>where's our money? It's all these other issues that get

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>brought into your household, into your relationship, and that's what

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it implodes. So it's not just that he's gone and

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>spent whatever amount of money. It's that all of a sudden,

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>he's lost his job. So that's going to put straight

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>on your relationship.

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it also means that you don't you can't

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 4>plan for anything like a normal stable couple are able to.

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 4>You can't plan for a mortgage, you can't plan for

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 4>a holiday, you can't plan for being financially able and

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 4>the future, because you'd never really have a good idea

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 4>or grasp over what your finances are going to be.

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 4>And I think you know, everybody knows that finances and

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 4>money are a huge tipping point in relationships. That the

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 4>longer you've been with someone and the more responsibilities you have,

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 4>like children and dependence, the more that money becomes a

0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 4>really significant part of your relationship and a part that

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people fight about. So if you don't

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 4>have children, and this is something that's already a huge

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 4>issue in your relationship, I really do think that that's

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 4>another thing that you have to consider and assess and

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 4>have conversations around, because how is this going to affect

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:36.440
<v Speaker 4>you when you have a family, How is this going

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 4>to affect you when you need to buy a house?

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 4>It is it's such a serious question to end on.

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:44.800
<v Speaker 4>But I do think that the only advice that we

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 4>can give you from two people who haven't been in

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 4>this situation, you know, our most thoughtful but yet unqualified

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 4>advice is that he needs to be making very significant

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 4>action going and seeking help for this. You need to

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 4>be able to feel confident that he's not gonna slip

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 4>off the vandwagon and that you're not just getting empty promises.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 3>And I did have a look at this.

0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>There are there are plenty of support groups and helplines

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>that you can go to. Lifeline does have You can

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>just call the generic Lifeline. You can call a specific

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>gambling helpline, that is, you can call that through Lifeline.

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 1>So these numbers are all on the Lifeline website. And

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 1>there's also a Gambler's Anonymous website. So these are some

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 1>things that you could present to someone if they if

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>they're in your life and they have this problem, tell

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.760
<v Speaker 1>him you'll go with him. Tell him he can call

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 1>on his own. You can go and visit the website

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 1>together and navigate the website together. And then the only

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 1>way you're gonna be able to make any decisions about

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:45.479
<v Speaker 1>your future is seeing how he reacts to this information

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that's been given to him. If he's going to put

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in the hard yards and say, yes, let's do this,

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do this brilliant. If he shows zero interest, reconsider.

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Thinking back on when I used to work in nightclubs

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 4>and bars and whatnot, like we obviously you have RSA

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 4>and you have like your gambling RSA. I can't even

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 4>remember what the equivalent of that is called these days,

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 4>but basically, we would have a list of people who

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 4>had gone through different gambling workshops and they had put

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:16.719
<v Speaker 4>themselves in a non subscribe list. So we had photos

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:18.960
<v Speaker 4>at the clubs of people who were not allowed to

0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 4>come in and use our poker machines or gamble in

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 4>our venues, and the club or the venue itself would

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 4>actually be fined if you had allowed somebody who had

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 4>a gambling addiction to come and be inside your venue.

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 4>And now this takes a lot of self preservation as

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.240
<v Speaker 4>a person who has a gambling addiction to put themselves

0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 4>on one of these lists, but they're the people who

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 4>actually want to enact change. So if your partner really

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 4>seriously wants to be different, he can ban himself self,

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 4>ban himself from all of the clubs and bars that

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 4>are around the area from the gambling room, not just

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 4>from the venue, but from the room. You can also

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 4>go on and you can ban the credit cards from

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 4>all of the online gambling distribut as well. So that

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 4>he can't just go on and play, you know, online

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 4>poker or whatever it is that he's playing. But these

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:10.080
<v Speaker 4>are actions of someone who is absolutely serious about kicking

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 4>their gambling habit. The actions of someone who talks about

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 4>stopping and then dips back in whenever they've had a

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 4>hard day is really the actions of someone who's just

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 4>telling you what you want to hear and not really

0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 4>making any changes or difference in their life. So I

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 4>think be very wary of that conversation because it can

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 4>be it can become a very cyclical conversation where you

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 4>get promised the world and then you know, they say

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 4>all the right things because they know that that's what

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 4>you want to hear, and then as soon as they've

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 4>placated your anger or your hurt or that situation has

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 4>died down, you know, if they do it again.

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>There's probably a support group for you as well. There

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>are there'd be other people that want there are groups

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.239
<v Speaker 1>that want to talk about the problems they're facing as

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the spouse of someone with a gambling problem. So if

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you need help as well, don't don't you be scared

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to reach out and have the conversation too.

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent is our episode.

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 4>Guys, We're so sorry to have like done like a

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 4>bait and switch with you today for today's episode.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:07.720
<v Speaker 2>That we do promise.

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 4>We just we did this because we didn't want to

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:11.279
<v Speaker 4>miss an episode. We didn't want to not give you,

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:12.959
<v Speaker 4>you know what you come.

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>For, the tea Day, the Tuesday's Thursdays. You know that

0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 2>we're human goods. It's a tea day. I never thought

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:20.719
<v Speaker 2>of it like that, so laugh on cart was due.

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 4>We didn't want to miss an episode, which is why

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 4>we are recording this literally at eleven o'clock on Monday

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 4>night when it needs to be out tomorrow morning. I know, Lol,

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 4>it's ridiculous, but like, we're so dedicated to bringing you

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 4>these episodes, and we will have our normal Tuesday's episode

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 4>coming to you on Thursday, which is all about you know,

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 4>living and dating someone who is a narcissist. I think

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:44.560
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be a really interesting one to unpack. It'd

0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 4>be relatable to a lot of people. Actually, Yeah, and

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 4>for anyone who hasn't been in a relationship with somebody

0:34:50.200 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 4>who is narcissistic. You know, I'm sure you know someone

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 4>And this term gets like thrown around so often and

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.520
<v Speaker 4>maybe it's a friend who's in a relationship that seems

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 4>really tox or maybe you know, maybe you have experienced

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 4>it with a friendship or with a work colleague. So

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 4>there's definitely going to be parallels and things that you'll

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 4>be able to get out of this as well. It's

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:13.439
<v Speaker 4>going to be a good episode. See then, Nah, that's

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 4>not the sign off. Okay, before we go, I want

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 4>to say one more thing to all of our Facebook

0:35:19.040 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 4>group as well. We have set up a brand new

0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:25.120
<v Speaker 4>secondary group because honestly, things are just getting a bit

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:27.000
<v Speaker 4>out of control on the main group. So Life on

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:29.919
<v Speaker 4>Cut podcast is our main group, but I've also set

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.439
<v Speaker 4>up another one for everybody who has been talking about

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 4>doing meetups.

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Not even talking, they're being meeting up guys.

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy.

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 4>So like we've had Brisbane meetups already, there's people in

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Sydney who are talking about creating a meetup group and

0:35:42.040 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 4>it's just like having a book club, but a book

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 4>club for Life on Cut where you can come together

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 4>with like minded people, discuss the episodes, discuss the topics

0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 4>that we talk about, and unpack the parts of it

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 4>that you agree with that we've touched on, or maybe

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 4>there's parts that you don't agree with us, which is

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:57.760
<v Speaker 4>totally fine.

0:35:58.160 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Em I guess so.

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:02.239
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, so then you guys can talk about your

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:04.399
<v Speaker 4>feelings about it as well, and like it's just such

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:07.279
<v Speaker 4>an awesome community. If you haven't joined the Facebook groups yet,

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:09.880
<v Speaker 4>please jump on and do that. Also, the instagram is

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 4>life on cut podcast if you want to just join the.

0:36:12.040 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Lolls and guys.

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I think there are actually some Melbourneites shout out to you, guys.

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm so sorry that you guys are in lockdown.

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I feel like sometimes we almost forget up

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.800
<v Speaker 1>here because bond Eye is just sort of like normal

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but just rub it in, Brittany. No, but what I

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 1>loved is a few of you have been trying to

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.560
<v Speaker 1>do your own meetups but virtual, so you're organizing like

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:37.320
<v Speaker 1>zoom meetups, which I think is amazing.

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been so incredible to see.

0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So if you are feeling like a little bit isolated

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and just like you want to reach out to some
