WEBVTT - Ask Uncut - We Judge and We Don’t Listen

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut.

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm Laura, I'm Brittany and producer Keisha keep that in

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 2>what Laura just did at the start? Do you know

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>what it sounded like, whiteladus. It was whiteloadus, wasn't and

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>then it was the start of it.

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 3>That's what all we need on a Monday, Okay, we

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 3>all need the white list.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what Britt used to do before we

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>would start episodes. Britt just to slap herself in the

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>face to get herself in a mood back in the day,

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>when you know, you would be tired, it was late

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 1>at night. We would record at all hours to try

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and get this podcast out.

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 3>And it was.

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Especially when I was still working at the hospital and

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you'd been like on a twelve hour shift and

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>it was eleven pm at night. I would literally slap

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>myself in the face, not hard. I don't want people think.

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, like waking, Like yeah, it was a ritual,

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>pre record ritual. Brit would slap herself. I would laugh

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>at her, and then we were in the mood.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>It was like I was psyching myself up. You'd think

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>that I was like, say, about to go and performing

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>in front of thousand of people. I was like, come on,

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>you can do it, or like a football match or something,

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>because like I was really pumping myself up like a fighter.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure if there's any Olympics or there was

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 3>a coach that did that to the fighter and people

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>all across the world were like, that's not okay, Well

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 3>a coach.

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>The coach slapped the fighter. Yeah, but it probably is.

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>It is okay if your job is about to be

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>punched in the face, that's different. It's not like they're

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>going in for promotion and then boss slaps across the face.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>That's just part of the warm up.

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 3>It's not Britt slapping me in the facesha edit better

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 3>slap you Like if you're a fighter, that would get

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 3>you psyched because you want them to be angry and

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 3>you want them to be fired up.

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Not saying that any violence is okay, but when your

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>job is violence, it hits different.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>So just so you guys do know, we are having

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a holiday very shortly, and this episode has been recorded

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>in the EFFA. Actually it's just been pre recorded because

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Britt is on her way to Italy to go and

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>spend some time with Bed.

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not on my way, I'm there. I'm Orgasmine as

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 2>we speak, I hope.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>So why is that where you always take it.

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>To Because I don't have sex for three months at

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>a time, and then that's what I'm going to be doing.

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>And we're all about having an unfiltered chat here. If

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you guys think I'm doing anything other than that, you cook.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll also just keep in mind that whilst you're listening

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to this brute is mid orgasm, I'm having a home likely.

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Not just I also am not for what I will say,

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>it's I'm a very family person. I can't wait. I'm

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 2>looking forward to it. But my sister Sherry Jay and

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 2>baby Maya are going to come and visit.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>The family shouldn't be included in that bridge. Y, Well, what.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>The problem is. Ben's always had like a two bedroom

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>apartment with two bathrooms, and it's quite big and it's

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>been great, but he's now moved into a one bedroom

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>apartment because he had no time to find it. One bedroom,

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 2>one bathroom, and the spare room is just a sofa

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>bed in the lounge. The lounge pulls out. So this

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>is a very small, intimate apartment. So now I'm like,

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>do I just shout them in airbanb Do I put

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:54.519
<v Speaker 2>them up somewhere?

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Surely if they're coming for a holiday, they can get

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>themselves in it. It just they don't have to stay

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>in the apartment if the apartment not adequately sized. Also,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>they have a baby, they probably don't want to stay

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in the apartment.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just really expensive over there. So you always offer, right,

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm always like, of course you guys can, Like they're

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 2>already paying one thousand bus sea don't. I was like,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you guys are so welcome to stay on the tiny

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 2>pullout sofa in the one bedroom apartment.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Come would you give up the main room for them?

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Would be ridiculous? How would I do that? I think

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that I think that they're going to do half half

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>because Sheridan was like, look, we won't stay. We know

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>what you guys are going to be doing and no

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 2>one needs to hear that, And I was like, no,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>that's ridiculous. Family comes first. No, actually I come first,

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.119
<v Speaker 2>then the family comes second. But I was like, why

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>don't we do half half? Stay a couple of days

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>with us? Because I also want maybe mightac to be

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>at my disposal twenty four to seven, Like I want

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>to have access to it whenever I want. But I

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>was like, why don't you do three days with us

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>and then three days in and their baby? So I

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>think that's the happy medium.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is I mean in terms of what we

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>have coming up for you guys. So we still have

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>an episode coming out on Wednesday, and then we are

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>taking one week off for Easter break and we'll be

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>back to normal programming after that. So I mean, is

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a way having a wonderful time. I hopefully, if things

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>work out and stars align, will be able to spend

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>my first week down at the house we've been renovating

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>down the South coast. So that's cross Yeah, I'm really like,

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm so looking forward to it. It all depends on

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>furniture deliveries, so like fingers crossed, that freedom comes through

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>with like the delivery on time.

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, you can't just go and lay on the ground,

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, that's.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Kind of what we'll be doing otherwise. So oping in

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a house yeah, but you kind of need at least

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a couch or a bed or something like a chair.

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>There's literally the house is barren and we have all

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the furniture arriving at one time, so it's still touch

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and go at the moment as to whether that's going

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to happen. But that is the plan for our little

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>easter break.

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what my parents told me all the

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>time growing up? These are these stories that come from

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 3>your parents where they're like, I walked three kilometers in

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>the snow to get to school. I all will never

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 3>forget my dad and my mum saying that they had

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>a ladder in their house for nearly two years and

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 3>that they had like camp furniture because they were building

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>a house and they couldn't afford furniture as well. And

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 3>I guess times have changed so much because now we

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 3>can get furniture for so cheap.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>It just might not be good furniture totally.

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 3>But I always picture them and I'm like, how did

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 3>you live for two years like that?

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, surely you've.

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Added so much mayo to it? You know that's an exaggeration.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>It's like when yeah, exactly like you said, and I

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>walked to school with no shoes. Yeah, thanks mum.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 4>So maybe you can just have camp chairs for two

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 4>weeks and teach the.

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Girls what it's like to live in a little bit

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 3>less comfortable situation.

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>They like, yeah, we'll tell them that we're glamping. But anyway, guys,

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 1>we're here to answer your questions for asking. Cut before

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>we do that. It is vibes and unsubscribes. Britt, What

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>is your Vibe for the Week?

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>My Vibe for the Week is a podcast. It's a

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 2>podcast by BBC. It's hosted by two people, one girl

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 2>named Hannah and she's the victim and then coincidentally her

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 2>stepmom growing up like her parents are split, but her

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 2>stepmum but a stepmum's a journalist and the podcast is

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 2>called Stalked and it's her Hannah telling the story herself

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>about her experience with exactly that this stalker but it

0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>is so extreme and went for so many years, is

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and completely infiltrated her life, like this person that stalked

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>her and she was trying to figure out who it was, right,

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>she had this guy that became a bit obsessed with her.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>But then stalkers came separately and they were presented to

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>her as people that were hacking into her phone, following

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 2>her around, writing to her like they know everything about

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 2>her and she's trying to piece together who it is,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and she's trying to piece together in her life who

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>it could be. And it's her trying to figure out

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>if these people that are stalking her online the same

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 2>people that she had issues with in real life, but

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>it's different because she's telling the story from her experience.

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Does this have sort of like a hybrid between being

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 1>catfish and stalk because it sounds like it has some

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>similarities to Sweet Bobby sort.

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Of she knows this, and I don't want to give

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 2>too much away. She knows the person very intimately over years,

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 2>they're actually friends. But the catfishing comes from eventually him

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 2>not being who he said he was, but that takes

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.840
<v Speaker 2>years to discover, and the lengths that he goes to

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>to pretend his life is one thing when it's not

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is so extreme, But it's them figuring out over the

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 2>years and putting the pieces together. But hearing the story

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>from her point of view, she's very educated, she's very

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>well spoken. Her showing how the wool was pulled over

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>her eyes and how extreme it was. I just found

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>it really fascinating, and I liked that their two hosts

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>had this connection as well. It was a great listen. Yeah,

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>so that's BBC podcast anywhere you get your podcasts, but

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 2>it's called stalk.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>How many episodes is it?

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>It's seven episodes?

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Awesome, Yeah, my vibe this week.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I feel like sometimes my vibes can be really like

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 3>thought provoking, and then for a couple of weeks in

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 3>a row, I fall into these categories where they are

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 3>just such simple, basic things that I'm like, I don't

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 3>know if this is too low bra.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I like the pendulum between really really insightful to totally basic. Bitch.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we're all here for.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>It, but there's no I think there's no right or wrong.

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>We can be basic, we can be well smart, not

0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>right now insightful.

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 4>We can It is a contour legacy, cool gel leg pillow.

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>What the hell key shark?

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>I got it from? Just got from the post I

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 2>got it from the post office.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 3>When you go to the post office, they have so

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 3>many knickknacks that I am like, never ever thought I

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>would need that.

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 4>That's the best thing I've ever purchased the post office.

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>The shopping experience at the post office has no rhyme

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>or reason. I find it the most confusing thing that's

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>ever existed. It's like there'll be some sort of neck

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>massage pillow next to a moneybox, yes, next to a

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>plate that's got Peter Rabbit on it, and you're like,

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>what is going on here? I use all of those items,

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>but I bought every single one. I didn't know I

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>needed that.

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly what happens to me.

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>It's such a lottery and I get so excited by

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 3>the randomness of it. So I saw this one when

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I was in line for you know, the post office.

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I was returning a package and it was thirty five

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 3>dollars and I was like, you know what, I really

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 3>reckon that my back could do with a leg pillow and.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>It is fan tass, Please describe me what it is again? Sorry,

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>be cooling. What It's a.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Cool gel leg pillow. She has a very hot house.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>It's hot.

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 4>It's shaped.

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 3>I want you to imagine like the size of your head,

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 3>but in like a kind of a triangle, and one

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 3>side of it is higher than the rest, so it's

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 3>contoured downwards, but it's also contoured so that it goes.

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 4>In between your knees.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 3>If you're a side sleeper, so it kind of like

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 3>you sleep on the side and It goes in between

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>your knees so that your hips are kept in a

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 3>good position, and.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>It's really good if you get lower back page. How

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>come you do because I just I do that every night.

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 2>But I just put a pill in my legs. Do

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you need a cooling triangle inclined whirl leg? I have

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>all of the above.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 1>I have tried so many different variations of this. I've

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>tried like a body pillow.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.079
<v Speaker 3>I even looked into getting a maternity one at one point,

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 3>but they're really expensive.

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but maternity pillows are lit. They are absolutely lit,

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and once you've had one, you will never go back

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to normal sleeping.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 3>That's how I feel about a knee pillown now. So

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 3>this one with thirty five dollars it is. The brand

0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 3>is Contour. They've got different variations. Some have cooling gell

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 3>in them, some don't. I don't know if you're a

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 3>hot sleeper or not.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Mine has the cool gel.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.559
<v Speaker 4>It goes in between my knees and it is fantastic.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>This to me is the type of thing. It's so

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>nicknacky that I would buy it, use it for a week,

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and then it would sit on my side table. I'd

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>never use it again. Yeah, Like I'm the queen of

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>buying gadgets that then get discarded, and that, to me

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>is what this.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Is, even the good gadgets. Like we both did it.

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Remember when we bought the face mask.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I was literally about to say the omni Lux, the

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Omnilux red light mask is actually amazing. It works really well.

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>The problem is that you have to be consistent with it.

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I go hard for like a couple of months, then

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>don't use it for six months.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I am not consistent with anything in my life that

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>requires any iota of effort. I just bought this this

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>thing recently. It's called a body sculpt because I was

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>getting slammed by the ads. So you go in the

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>shower and you massage. It's like for your cell. Yeah,

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>so you have to, but the problem is you've got

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to do it each body part for five minutes a day, and.

0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 4>I want that time.

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>As soon as I read the instructions on the back,

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, I'll never do that.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And you only usually shower your feet. You don't even

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>get in the shower.

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 1>So literally only have a five minute shower. That would

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>be like spending twenty five mini footbath.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>That's about it. You're screwed. But those feet have no

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 2>cellul had on them.

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>My feet are great. All right. Look, I have a

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>recommendation for all of the people who are really into

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>their plant content. I'm back in my plant era.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Even that wasn't consistent, so you didn't leave it.

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I have never left it, but I did shut up

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 1>about it on the podcast for a while. But I'm back.

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I over.

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm here for anyone who wants help with keeping their

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>indoor plants alive. There is a genuinely fantastic Instagram account.

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>It's called Sydney Plant Guy. He has five hundred and

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>forty three thousand followers, So there's a lot of people

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>out there who like plants. Basically, if you are wanting

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>to grow like marijuana.

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, is that why he's so popular.

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>He's got a whole farm if you want to grow hydroponics. No,

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Like sometimes indoor plants are very very hard to grow

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in terms of like having them look as flourishing as

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 1>what they do when they're outside where a plant should

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>be right, Like, a plant will grow in a crack

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>in the sidewalk better than what it will grow inside

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>your house.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>My olive tree inside is thriving yeah, the plastic one.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>But this is like, I mean for anyone who has

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>like this sounds so niche, but I'm going to lean

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>in if you have a variegated monsterra or you have

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 1>plants that are expensive that are really hard to take

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>care of but really also challenging to flourish. I found

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.319
<v Speaker 1>this instagram. I came across it and like, he is

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>so helpful with ways in which to better like structure

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>them so that they can grow in a way that

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 1>they would naturally, but do it indoors and it's fantastic,

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Like it's really easy plant care tips, and I highly

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>recommend it if you're a plant galley.

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, you never really pinpoint the moment that you're old,

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.599
<v Speaker 2>do you Like, there's not a moment.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 4>But all the cooling gel nice, I'm sane.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like all of a sudden, it just happens. Like

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 2>even a couple of days ago, I couldn't believe how

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>much I got off on the fact that I changed

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 2>my living room around. I moved my lounge and I

0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, this is so good. And I was

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 2>like this, she's the most exciting thing that happened with

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>this week. You've got a leg cooling pillow and you're

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>fur offing a plant. I was like, when did it happen?

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 2>When was the transition where we were like, oh, we're

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>in this era now.

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't hate this era though, I'm okay with that.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate it off and my house plans are

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 1>really happy about it too.

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Okay, let's give him to the questions, Oh, what's

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>his instagram?

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Sydney plant guy, Sydney plant guy, go and give him

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 1>a follow, Okay. Question number one, Hi, ladies, my husband's

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>mum has his location settings on, so basically she's able

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:34.479
<v Speaker 1>to track him at all times. She isn't necessarily controlling

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>or making a big deal about it, but I often

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>hear us saying things like, oh, I saw you were

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>at the pub the other night, or why will you

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>work on a Saturday. It makes me feel a certain way.

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Question mark, question mark, question mark. I just find it

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>super odd. But it feels like I can't really just

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>ask him to turn off, because then she's gonna ask

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>questions and I don't want it to come back on

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to me. I guess my question is am I being

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous to be annoyed by the fact that my husband

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>shares his location settings his mother.

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>This is funny. I have like two feelings about this one.

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm a true crime girl. I think it's important that

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>someone knows where you are at all times.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Just in case her husband shows up in a bin

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>if his disappears.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I think it's important.

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>That everyone grim Sorry, that's terrible to take that.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I really like, is that how you would end someone's life.

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Put it in a bin?

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 2>My brain was like el No, I do think it's

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>important and it's not the end of the world. Do

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's strange that he shares his location with

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>his mom? Probably not normal, not out of control. Do

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's weird that she constantly checks it? Yes,

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the fact that she knows he was at the pub

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>or at work. Like Ben and I share location, I

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>have not checked it once. I know it's there, I

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 2>do not check it. The fact that she's like tapping

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in and out on the daily to see what he's

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>doing where he's at is a bit of a like

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 2>there is something that needs to be let go.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>My question here is is does your husband share his

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 1>location settings with you or only with his mom? Is

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>he like h He's like nah, babe, I'm not going

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to share this, but hey, mummy, I'm going to be

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>at the pub on Friday, hear me out. I think

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the reason why he shared it is because it's so

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal to him, Like he just doesn't care.

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Obviously she's asked for it, It's been shared at some

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>point for whatever reason. He's never turned off, and he

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't care that his mom can see where he

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>is because it's not a big deal to him. It is,

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you, brit super weird. She checked

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that she checks, and that she could going. You've got

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to actively choose that. You're like, hey, let's see where

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he is at.

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>The moment, and then you go into the setting.

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>But also it's weird, but it's also could be just harmless,

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Like she might be bored, she might be lonely, Like

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that might be her way of creating conversation. You know,

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.640
<v Speaker 1>he might not caller enough, and it's her way of

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>being like, oh, I saw that you were at the

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 1>pub on Saturday, Like how was your night? You know,

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it might be her way of trying to stimulate some

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>sort of deeper connection with him.

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I think we know what her attachment style is, which

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 2>what is it attached.

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, I understand that you feel a certain

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>way about it because it is a bit weird that

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you should necessarily be annoyed by it.

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>No, it's one of those it will cause more harm

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 2>than good. If you say, hey, turn your location settings

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 2>off your mum because she checks it every day, obviously

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>she's going to be like, why did you turn your

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>location settings off? There's no answer other than I don't

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>want you to know where I am or it's weird,

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>like there's nothing that unless she's showing up to where

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 2>he is, then I think you just have to leave it.

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Would you have the conversation with your partner though, and

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 1>be like, hey, is it odd that?

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Like, would you at least have that conversation so you

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>both can be in the same page, like Wendi to

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>say like, hey, that is weird that mom does that.

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>But you know, at least it's then you against the

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 1>mom together. It's not like him and the mum being like,

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>oh here share my location, SWEETI pie come over for dinner.

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 4>What happens If he doesn't think it's weird.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Then you well, I don't know, I know, that's a

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>whole different story.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I think that's leaning into like the same way

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Matt doesn't think it's weird to put his head on

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Ellie's lap and get head pats. Like some people are

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 2>attached to their mom and they don't think it's weird.

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, a bit of context, we've heard it.

0:16:58.920 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>We've all heard.

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, a bit of text around this is like what

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is and what doesn't constitute overstepping the line for a

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 1>parent child relationship, right, we're talking about it on the

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>radio the other day. And like Matt has an incredibly

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>close relationship with his mom. We obviously live with his mom. Yeah,

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 1>And like Ellie, Ellie is incredible. She like does our

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>washing for us. I come home, She's cooked us in.

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Like she is a mum in every sense of the word,

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>still to us, even though we are fully grown adults

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and very capable of doing things ourselves.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I love it. You're in it now, you're like us.

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>She's she's done.

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 1>She just like she's so generous and she takes such

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>good care of us, and she's a care that's like

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>what she was put on the earth to do. She

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>has five children, she loves giving.

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 2>And she's a teacher, so she loves like. I say

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 2>that because I think that says a lot about the

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 2>person you are.

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also like, Okay, so this might be weird

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>for some people because they probably don't have this relationship

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with their mother in laws. But like, I'll come home

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 1>from work if Ellie's in her bedroom and I want

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to come and have a conversation with her, Like, I'll

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>come and crawl up and lay next her in bed

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and we'll have a chat, you know, Like to me,

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 1>that's so that's where our relationship is at. Matt is

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the same, or like if we're all sitting on the couch,

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the thing that Britt was like, your husband's

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>are fucking weirdo, So we're all laying on the couch

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>or sitting on the couch. If I'm like, I'm not

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.520
<v Speaker 1>giving you a head rub, Matt will just lay down

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and put his head on Ellie's lap and be like, mom, Mom,

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.359
<v Speaker 1>rubbed my head. M rub my head.

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I forgot. Keisha hasn't heard this weird or not weird.

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Keish as just be honest, because I was honest, Be honest.

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>He'll get a head massage from his mom because I

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do it in her lap.

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I just want to replay it to you so you

0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 2>can hear it. How we hear it.

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 4>He's turned to you for affection.

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 3>You haven't provided it, so he's just flipped onto the

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:38.359
<v Speaker 3>other side to get it from his mother.

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 1>That's fine. Hey, you can give him a blowjob as well.

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Ellie, I'm tired, Just be dry. It was so funny.

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>There are there are some common people in the comments

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>that were like, look, we get the affection. Think it's okay.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Everyone needs affection. Why does his head have to be

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 2>in a lap? People are like, why does it have

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to be laid down with his head anyway?

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>This isn't about Matt, say, I'm not. Before we do

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 1>move on, I know that that probably is weird to

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who don't live with their mother

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in lawa and have like that level of closeness. There

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>is no part of their relationship that I look at

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>and think is weird. I literally look at their relationship

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and think it is the most aspirational relationship for a

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 1>mother and son to have. He has so much respect

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>for his mum, and she totally understands where my boundaries

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:22.959
<v Speaker 1>are at in terms of everything.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Put your head in your dad's lap, friand Messa.

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but we don't have that.

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 3>It's just the people who are weird about this are

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 3>like no, I could never imagine because I don't have

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 3>that relationship ship.

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would never lay down on my dad's

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>lt and be like Massa like my it's just not

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:41.760
<v Speaker 1>quite right.

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, let's move back to this. There's nothing you can

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 2>do about it unless it's actually infiltrating your life to

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the point that she's turning up. I think exactly like

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you said, Laura, it could just be a way for

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 2>her to connect with her son, to have something to

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about, to make sure he's safe.

0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 1>She might be lonely.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 2>She might be lonely, but not even that. There are

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of parents that have trouble letting go. It

0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>can be a really hard thing, and she one hundred

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>percent has not let go. It's not necessarily bad. You

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>can't ask her to not check in on him. You

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 2>can't ask him to turn his location settings off. I

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.399
<v Speaker 2>believe I think that's just gonna cause chaos.

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 1>You definitely can't ask her not to check in. You

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.959
<v Speaker 1>could ask your husband to turn off sharing his location settings.

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 1>The only thing is is then yeah, it's like is

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the juice worth the squeeze, which we often ask, It's like, okay,

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 1>she's gonna know. She might say, oh, you turned your

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.439
<v Speaker 1>location settings off, and then like you have to have

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>a conversation around why she feels sad. She might yeah, exactly.

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Part of me is like I find

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>it odd because I don't share my location settings with

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.160
<v Speaker 1>anyone at all, but you might have.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>To do in case you end up in a bin.

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:46.199
<v Speaker 2>How will we know?

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Part of me thinks it's odd. Do

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.119
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's like damaging to your relationship?

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>No, So like just location settings are hard. I only

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 2>share it with my sister Sherry and Ben and Sherry.

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>I always forget that I share it with people, so

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't check in on people. But the number of

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.479
<v Speaker 2>times Sherry has called me out on something where she's like,

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to her house for dinner, I'm meeting her

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 2>somewhere or whatever it is, and she's like are you closed?

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.159
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like on my way not far. She's like,

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 2>you're literally in your house. He's still in a shower,

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like fuck. I always figure I'm like I

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, yeah, gotcha, I'm walking out of the door.

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 2>She's like, you're not. She's like, I can see that

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 2>you're not. You haven't moved. That's when, again get a

0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>bit tricky.

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that it's an intimacy. I'm trying to

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 3>think of why I find this so week. I want

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 3>to validate this person. I find this so weird. I

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 3>only share my location with my boyfriend, and we've only

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.119
<v Speaker 3>started doing that in the last I think six months.

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 4>He does night shifts.

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 3>I like to make sure that he, like, if I'm

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 3>at work, that he's driven home and he's gotten home okay.

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 3>And it kind of helps because he can't have his

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 3>phone on him at work, so if you know, I'm

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 3>making dinner or whatever, I'll know if he's still thirty

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.919
<v Speaker 3>minutes away because I can see where he is. I

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 3>find that it's like quite an intimate thing between us

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 3>that we I've never trusted someone to share a location

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 3>with before, Like I always found it was just a

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 3>bit of a weird independence breaker, you know, Like I

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 3>just wanted the autonomy of no one knowing where I

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 3>was so I didn't have to explain it all.

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was.

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I was weird about it until quite recently, so I

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 3>think that that's why I find it so weird that

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 3>the mum has the location.

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 4>It feels like an intimate thing to me.

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's intimate.

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it definitely makes him seem like he's a

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>bit of a mummy's boy for sure, and like he

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 1>hasn't necessarily shared.

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:24.159
<v Speaker 4>To begin with.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, you never know, they could have been on holidays together,

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 1>like there could have been any number of reason as

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to why it was shared in the first place.

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 2>But that's why you do the one week one not indefinitely,

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, when it says do you want to

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>share for one hour, one week or indefinitely, don't pick it?

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Definitely pick one week and extend all right? Question number two,

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>how did two avoidance make a relationship work? I'm twenty

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>nine and I finally got my hands on the man

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I've been plotting about for ten years. That sounds so bad.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>That's a long time to have feelings with someone.

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 2>But also it sounds like you've finally got your hands

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 2>on like a limited edition bag or something like something

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.120
<v Speaker 2>that I've waited. I've finally got my hands on this guy.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I've been lotting about for ten years. This sounds extreme

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 2>pining for I think she means yeah, no judgment. We've

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>always I judge and don't listen. I mean I listen

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and don't judge.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>We've that sounds like every argument ever I judge and

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't listen.

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what you're wrong? What? Okay? We've always had a

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.760
<v Speaker 2>strong connection, but life has led us in different directions

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 2>over the years. We've been seeing each other as exclusive

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.919
<v Speaker 2>friends with benefits for the last year, but things have

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.919
<v Speaker 2>evolved recently. We spend hours chatting planning our future. Our

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:38.400
<v Speaker 2>communication is great, We're super compatible. The spark is strong.

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 2>It may as well be on fire.

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, she sounds wonderful.

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.840
<v Speaker 2>But we have both realized that we have avoidant attachment styles,

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 2>which has prevented us from going all in. Recently, we've

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 2>both admitted we're in deep and would like to be together.

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 2>So my question is, how do quote unquote regular people

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 2>do this. I can't get my head around how to

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>be a girlfriend and what that mean for my sense

0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 2>of self and my lifestyle. I'm hyper independent, falling in love,

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and absolutely terrified. Help.

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this is interesting because on one hand, you've

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>said that you have spent heaps of time. We spend

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>hours chatting, planning our future, and our communication is great.

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So it sounds like to me, you're already it's not avoiding,

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you're already so far down that rabbit hole. Or maybe

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 1>you're quite okay with the conversation part, but then when

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it comes into the actuality of committing yourself or committing

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.439
<v Speaker 1>your time, that's when you start to freak out. My

0:24:32.080 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 1>only thing around this is like, I think that sometimes

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 1>we can self sabotage. You say you've had feelings of

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>this guy for ten years, you've been in a friends

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with benefit relationship for a year, you now finally made

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the commitment to give it a go. I would say,

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>if you are having second thoughts about that, or you're

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>finding it difficult to commit to it properly, like that

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>is deeply avoided, and it's like, be careful of the

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>line between self sabotage and also blaming your avoidant personality

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>type as your excuse for this, because you're clearly very

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>aware that you pride on your independence. You love your independence,

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 1>you love having your own sensus self. You can maintain

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 1>all of those things in a healthy relationship. You don't

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice all of that just because you've started dating someone.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I understand what you're feeling. I remember feeling

0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. I'm assuming when you say you've been plotting,

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 2>slash pining for this guy for ten years, I'm assuming

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:26.360
<v Speaker 2>you were probably single for most of that time. It's

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 2>really difficult when you've been really independent and on your

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:33.160
<v Speaker 2>own and not dating, to then date and be dependent.

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 2>And I remember feeling the same way. I remember saying

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.119
<v Speaker 2>to my friend, I don't know how to be in

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a relationship. I don't know how to be a partner.

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how to be a girlfriend. I don't

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know what the expectations are. I don't know how to

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 2>share my life with someone. Which is silly because everyone knows,

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:48.920
<v Speaker 2>right like everyone has that. But when you get accustomed

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 2>to live in a certain way or only relying on

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.479
<v Speaker 2>yourself or doing everything on your own, you said you're

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 2>hyper independent. Well it's not silly, no, but it's a

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>big life change one hundred percent, And that's scares people.

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:03.439
<v Speaker 2>It scared me. I remember thinking, am I going to

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 2>be with no one else again? In my whole life?

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Am I going to be with this one person? What

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.439
<v Speaker 2>if this person's not right, then you start to get

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in your head and that's when the self sabotage comes in.

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you need to roll with it. Absolutely, two

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>people that are the same avoidant or whatever your attachment is,

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 2>any two people can be together if you're hyper aware

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and socially enough aware of what you are, what your

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 2>communication style is, and who you are. That's half the battle.

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>You might need to work a little bit harder than

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 2>two other different types of styles that are matched together. Like,

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 2>there are definitely people that are more compatible, but anyone

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 2>can make anything work when they understand what they are,

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 2>what their partner is, what they need, and what work

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.679
<v Speaker 2>you have to do to meet each other halfway. But

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think, like Laura said, I'm not convinced you

0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>are avoidant. I think you're a bit scared to take

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 2>the leap into this new phase of life because you

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.840
<v Speaker 2>have an experience for so long. Also, sometimes when you're

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 2>chasing something for so long, you've been chasing this for

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>ten years, all of a sudden you've got it. There's

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 2>something where it's like holy shit, like do I actually

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 2>want this? Is this where we're going? Am I? But

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.879
<v Speaker 2>I think you're not avoidant, And I think no, I think.

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 1>She is avoidant. I think absolutely can be. I think

0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 1>an avoidant person can like know that then recognize that

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>they want all those things in another person, and they

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 1>can like verbally apply themselves. But once it gets to

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a place where they actually have to like physically make

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.480
<v Speaker 1>those commitments or things are feeling like that level of

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>intimacy is increasing, or the closeness or that they're encroaching

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:28.679
<v Speaker 1>on their time, that's a trigger for them, and so

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>then they start to pull away, Hence the whole idea

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:33.719
<v Speaker 1>of self sabotage. But I guess my thing is, and

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>look for anyone who's not one hundred percent across like

0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>what an avoidant attachment style is. Avoidant attachment styles in

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 1>relationships may avoid expressions of intimacy and affection and pull

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 1>back from romantic connections once they start to become too serious.

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't mean that they don't love their partner, they

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>just struggle with connection. The thing, though, is, and what

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I believe is like, if you have recognized the type

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 1>of personality style that you are, you can do the

0:27:57.920 --> 0:28:01.199
<v Speaker 1>work to change it. You can recognize your triggers, you

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>can actually start to change the behaviors. Once you start

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 1>to see yourself doing them, you're not. And I hate

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 1>this idea that we're just like a victim to our

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 1>attachment style, that you can never have a great relationship

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.159
<v Speaker 1>because your X, Y Z attachment styles are fluid. They

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 1>change depending on what relationship you're in, what the attachment

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:21.880
<v Speaker 1>style is of the person that you are dating.

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 2>What period of life you're in, one hundred.

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Percent, what you want, what you need, what your experience

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>is at that point in your life. The fact that

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you are aware of it means that you are not

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:34.639
<v Speaker 1>a slave to it, and the fact that your partner

0:28:34.680 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 1>is also aware of it means that he doesn't have

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to be either. I would hope that you have enough

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>ability to stop using it as an excuse to limit

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>yourself in your relationships, because I really think that even

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>two people who are avoidant can have a really mutually

0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>incredible relationship because they understand and value what is important

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to each person. If independence is important to you, the

0:28:56.080 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 1>great thing is is that your partner also has that

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 1>strong need for independence. You can respect that in each other.

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>You can respect the fact that you both really want

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to maintain a strong sense of your own identity, it

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 1>just means you're going to have to work a little

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>bit harder to have the deeper level of communication and connection,

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 1>which it sounds like you're doing that anyway, because you're

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:15.640
<v Speaker 1>talking for hours about where your future is going to be.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Agree with everything. And what I want to say here

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 2>is I do think that there might be a chance

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that you are confusing avoidant attachment style with just being scared.

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And I say that because everything you've said, we have

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 2>a great connection, we plan our future. You literally say

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:36.280
<v Speaker 2>communication is great, we chat for hours, we plan our future.

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 2>The spark is strong. We are so combatible, we want

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.920
<v Speaker 2>to go all in. I think you're just scared. I

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 2>actually don't think you're avoidant at all. But I think

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 2>we're so used to having to put a label on everything,

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.120
<v Speaker 2>which sometimes we don't need to put a label. And

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 2>it's normal to be scared when you're going into a

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 2>new chapter. It's normal to be scared to put your

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 2>emotions and your heart on the line because there's a

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 2>chance it doesn't work and something you thought or romanticized

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>or fantasy for ten years might not turn out to

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 2>be exactly what you need, and that can be really scary.

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a question when you say scared for it,

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:10.080
<v Speaker 1>because I often think sometimes we speak about this idea

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>of like being scared to lose yourself in a relationship

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 1>or lose your sense of identity, But actually, what I

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>think we're scared of is being hurt. It's not so

0:30:18.760 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>much about the losing yourself or what the relationship could be.

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>It's the fact that, like, if you open yourself up

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to it entirely, then there's a greater possibility of being

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:30.800
<v Speaker 1>really deeply hurt by it. And so when you've been

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:33.520
<v Speaker 1>single for a long time or you've only been dating

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>for a long time and haven't given yourself over to

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 1>those feelings, that is like a frightening thing.

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I say, I think you're confusing the two

0:30:40.000 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 2>because you've literally said all these amazing things, and then

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 2>you say, I'm absolutely terrified. So I don't think you're avoidant.

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I think you are just scared, which is completely normal.

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to validate those feelings. What I do think

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 2>you need to do is there's no right way to

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.960
<v Speaker 2>be a girlfriend. There's just two people that make whatever

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>their relationship is and their personalities work. You've if this

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 2>for so long, our life is short. What are you

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>scared for jump in if there's a chance it doesn't

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 2>work out. That's also life, and that is completely okay.

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>It's normal most people, I mean everyone at some point,

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>except if you are one of those people that their

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>first relationship at sixteen is the person they marry for

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:22.959
<v Speaker 2>their life. Everyone experiences failed relationships, but they're not failed.

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:24.959
<v Speaker 2>It's just a part of the journey to find the person.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>My advice here is to absolutely go all in. This

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 2>is not a new thing. It's ten years in the making.

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Your communication is there. You can still be hyper independent

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 2>in a relationship. I mean, that's exactly what I am

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 2>right now. I know it's long distance, but I would

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 2>still be hyper independent if I lived with Ben, because

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 2>it's who my personality is. A relationship doesn't have to

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>change you and take that away. You do have to

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 2>be malleable with a partner, Like you might not be

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 2>able to go away on benders for weekends without communicating

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that you're not going to be in contact. Like maybe

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>things change in that sense, yep.

0:31:58.200 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's still independence. That's selfishness.

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 2>That's my point, Like, you can still have your independence

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and be all in in a relationship.

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:06.760
<v Speaker 1>My thought though, is, and I think that there is

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a greater debt here in terms of like feeling like

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 1>there is like what's on the line, the risk of

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>what's on the line. And that's because it is someone

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 1>who you've been pining about for ten years. The fear

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>factor is greater because you've already built up a sense

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of what this relationship could be in your head. I

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 1>would say that if you've been pining or you've had

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a crush on someone for ten years, you've probably built

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>them into a bit of like a magical being and

0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the potential of your relationship into like a magical possibility.

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 1>The reality is is you have no idea what this

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>relationship is going to be until you give it a shot.

0:32:39.760 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>It may not meet up to the expectations, it may

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>exceed them. There is absolutely no way of knowing. But

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I think be very very careful with what is you

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 1>excited and like invested in the potential of the relationship

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>rather than what necessarily the relationship is, and treating it

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>as though you're starting a new relationship, not that you're

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 1>coming into this with ten years of like life excitement

0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and like suspense around what it could be, Because that's

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely gonna change how you feel? Question number three Is

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it weird for the bridal party to slow dance with

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>their partners? What are your thoughts on a bride making

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the bridesmaids and groomsmen slow dance together at the start

0:33:20.200 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of the night. My boyfriend is in a wedding and

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>he has to slow dance with his partner for five minutes.

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>She said that in a capital So I feel like

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:32.000
<v Speaker 1>we gotten that. Yeah, to really put some emphasis on

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>this is this normal? Am I overreacting that? I find

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it so weird. My heart rate is resting at one

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty beats right now. I am that anxious.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that was literal. I think that's her

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>trying and say she's stress. I don't think she's got

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a whoop on that's testing Harry.

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe she does. I feel like it's very accurate.

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's weird. Five minutes is a really long slow dance.

0:33:52.880 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who's slow dancing for five minutes. That's

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 2>multiple songs. Songs don't even go for five minutes, that's

0:33:57.000 --> 0:33:59.720
<v Speaker 2>my point. That's two to three songs of slow dance.

0:33:59.720 --> 0:34:02.239
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's an exaggeration or if she is

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 2>making them dance for three songs in a road. That's

0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:08.240
<v Speaker 2>fucking weird. Absolutely, This idea of making the bridal party

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 2>slow dance is something of the ages. Is something that

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>has been like a standard traditional part of weddings for

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.480
<v Speaker 2>as long as I can remember. I've had to do

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it before. It's just a part of being like, hey,

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:21.799
<v Speaker 2>these are our people that we have chosen that are

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 2>coming on the dance floor to dance. I don't think

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>it needs to be a staple in a wedding. It

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 2>does confuse me a little bit, but I understand it,

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:30.839
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think it has to be that much

0:34:30.840 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 2>of a big deal. He hasn't chosen to You're not

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>at a wedding and he's like, hey, Babs, I'm going

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 2>to go and ask the bridesmad to dance. It's a

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>part of what that bride and groom have chosen for

0:34:39.760 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>their bridal party to do and partake in. It is

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 2>sometimes weird, I remember, but once I had to slow

0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 2>dance with someone that I didn't know that was on

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the party, and it was weird.

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It was uncomfortable. We're very close and intimate, You're looking

0:34:51.200 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 2>at each other's eyes and like, don't know you partner's

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 2>over there. Sure, it's unusual. I don't know if I'm

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.919
<v Speaker 2>going to make my people do it at my wedding.

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:00.280
<v Speaker 2>It's something I haven't thought about to now.

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well think about it. You're gonna make people slow

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>dance who don't know each other.

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Probably not, or they can come on if they want

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 2>with their partners, or they can come on with someone. But

0:35:07.760 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 2>having said that, I remember being at a wedding single

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 2>before and everyone went out. The party went out with

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:15.279
<v Speaker 2>their partners instead of the bridal party, and I was

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 2>just standing there like a little turtle off to the site.

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, no, one wants a dance.

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You made me dance with you at Laura's wedding.

0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's like the partner time. Because we were both.

0:35:23.200 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Saying that's my point exactly, I was like, O, Kisha

0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna have this dance? I think you are overthinking it.

0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's just a part of weddings, it has been for years.

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:34.399
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean anything is going to happen. It doesn't

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 2>mean he loves you any less. I would be questioning

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 2>why it makes you uncomfortable?

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I read this and I think if

0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.520
<v Speaker 1>your partner is part of a bridal party, they've been

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>matched with a stranger, or they've been matched with someone

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.359
<v Speaker 1>that they might know kind of a little bit, and

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.399
<v Speaker 1>they've been asked to slow dance with them. I think

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that the slow dance is innocent. The slow dance doesn't

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>mean anything. There's no like, there's no secret deep connection.

0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 1>There doesn't mean he's going to run off with her.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not he won't. He's not going to. I find

0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:06.680
<v Speaker 1>it odd that it creates this much anxiety in you,

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:08.959
<v Speaker 1>the thought of your partner slow dancing with someone else

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 1>when it's been something that's like an expectation. You know.

0:36:12.200 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting because like coming off the back of Dancing

0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Stars, right, like you've just done it, brit.

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:17.320
<v Speaker 2>You grind all up on a stranger.

0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I did it two years ago. I was

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>matched with my dance partner, and it is there is

0:36:22.000 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 1>like a real intimacy there. But slow dancing doesn't have

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:26.840
<v Speaker 1>to be like I mean, we were like doing the

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 1>bloody we were like up against each other, right, Like

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what that dance was. And I found it really

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:34.520
<v Speaker 1>weird because there's like a level of intimacy. But then

0:36:34.560 --> 0:36:36.839
<v Speaker 1>there's no chemistry, but like you just got to kind

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of make the chemistry seem like it's convincing, and you're

0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:39.440
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be.

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Telling like a love story goes you guys are in

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:43.319
<v Speaker 2>love and this you're on this journey. It's totally looking

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 2>at each other and so you don't.

0:36:44.600 --> 0:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Know though, which is a very different kettle of fish

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to having a slow dance at a wedding. They don't

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>have to be staring into each other's eyes and holding

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.479
<v Speaker 1>each other really close. They can just do the two

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>step from side to side kind of, you know, half

0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:00.479
<v Speaker 1>holding each other. I don't think that it's slow dance

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:03.520
<v Speaker 1>has to be a level of intimacy that's uncomfortable, And

0:37:03.600 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>if he's making it a level of intimacy that's uncomfortable,

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:08.919
<v Speaker 1>that's weird in and of itself. You know, people slow

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>dance with their mums. They slow dance like dancing is

0:37:11.280 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>just dancing. And to me, I guess it's like the

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>bride has an idea of what she wants for her wedding,

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's for her and her husband to be on

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the dance floor with her bridal party and all of

0:37:21.480 --> 0:37:23.400
<v Speaker 1>them to have a dance together. It maybe because she

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to be like on the dance floor by

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>herself with her husband. That might be uncomfortable for her.

0:37:28.000 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think it's a big deal. And like

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, my biggest reaction to this is the fact

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 1>that it is creating that much anxiety in you. Do

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you not trust your partner? Do you find it uncomfortable

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 1>when they speak to girls or spend time with girls

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:46.279
<v Speaker 1>outside of your relationship? Like? What is it about this?

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:50.800
<v Speaker 1>It's that triggering for you that you are literally in capitals,

0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like I am that anxious.

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:54.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's way more simple than that, Like, I

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:57.080
<v Speaker 2>know that we're covering all bases. I think it's really simple.

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think you understand that it's a normal

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 2>part of weddings. Maybe you haven't into that mini because

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you literally say, is it normal that they have to

0:38:03.000 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 2>do this, they have to dance together?

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that weird? It's not weird.

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a very standard part of a lot of weddings.

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So I do just wonder if maybe you haven't had

0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 2>that exposure or know a lot of people that have

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 2>gone to weddings like that. But it's like every wedding

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 2>that I have ever known or ever been to has

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:19.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty much has this aspect. I can't remember if.

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Like there's no ulterior there's no ulterior motive, like

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:23.799
<v Speaker 1>they're not trying to get the bridal party together, like

0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to hook up or anything.

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:27.240
<v Speaker 2>And you can be waiting on the sidelines to swoop

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 2>in the second that that three point five songs and

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 2>five minutes is over, Like you're in there.

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Hear me out. Maybe she's not invited to the wedding

0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's why she has the anxiety. Maybe they are

0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 1>a new couple, which I would understand. Then if you're

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:41.640
<v Speaker 1>a new couple, you haven't been invited, so you already

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:43.920
<v Speaker 1>feel a little bit invalidated in your dating and in

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.880
<v Speaker 1>your relationship, and then you find out that your partner

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is going and slow dancing. What I think has happened

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>here is that you are catastrophizing a situation in your

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 1>head because you are feeling in the blanks.

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I think she just doesn't know.

0:38:57.040 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think she's going to the wedding.

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I agree, Laura, But I genuine only just think she

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:02.440
<v Speaker 2>doesn't know. She just said, is it normal for them

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 2>to slow dance? Yeah, it's normal totally.

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 1>But my thing is is if you were there and

0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you were able to witness it, there's no way that

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you would feel as insecure as what you do now.

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It's the fact that you're not there, you're not witnessing it,

0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and so therefore it's turned into a bigger thing in

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 1>your head than what actually it is.

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Unless he's been matched with like Mirandaka or something like

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I did see Courtney Cox recently. Was it a wedding

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:22.800
<v Speaker 2>in Australia?

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:24.040
<v Speaker 1>My friend did her makeup?

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:24.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 1>At the wedding.

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Margot Robbie not long ago, was a bridesmaid for her friend. Like, yeah,

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 2>that's where my insecurity would come from. If my boyfriend

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:31.800
<v Speaker 2>had a five minute SLW dance with Margo Robbie.

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.359
<v Speaker 1>N I'd be so fine. I'd be like, she's out

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:33.799
<v Speaker 1>of your league.

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:34.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I'd do it. I'd be like, tap it if

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:36.799
<v Speaker 2>you could. I was like, yeah, just for sorry, No,

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't. But completely normal. The five minutes not normal,

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:41.799
<v Speaker 2>that's weird, that's really abnormal. Did you do it, Laura,

0:39:41.880 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember. Did you make your No, we.

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Didn't slow dance, though we did a silly dance. At

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>no point did we have a slow dance in our wedding.

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 1>We just went from like.

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:51.759
<v Speaker 2>My dance is going to be the slowest dance you've

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 2>ever seen.

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:55.440
<v Speaker 1>We did like a mock slow dance for about thirty seconds,

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.759
<v Speaker 1>and then we busted into like a funny routine and

0:39:57.760 --> 0:39:59.600
<v Speaker 1>then everyone the band just started playing, so everyone was

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 1>on the dance for having a party.

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine Ben doing a choreograph dance? Absolutely not.

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:08.279
<v Speaker 1>I find slow dancing unless you're good at it, like

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.480
<v Speaker 1>unless you've learned to slow dance, or you can do

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a waltz or something. I find it uncomfortable for everyone

0:40:13.480 --> 0:40:15.440
<v Speaker 1>else to stand around and watch a little bit, like

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 1>when two people don't know how to dance, but they

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of look forced into just swaying from side to side.

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You know that they've never done it before.

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, Laura, avert your eyes my wedding.

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go to the toilet. I just

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 1>find it like why do we make people do this?

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Like why is this such a tradition when clearly so

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>many people are uncomfortable by doing it.

0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I did read I'm very much up on the trends

0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, whending trends betweenty twenty five it's my algorithm.

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Choreograph dancers are out the shame. Yeah, Choreograph dances are

0:40:43.640 --> 0:40:46.759
<v Speaker 2>absolutely out. So are entries. You know how they have

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:50.120
<v Speaker 2>entries where people dance in the bridesmaids You remember I

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>had to do it once.

0:40:51.120 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've done it at most my weddings too, out

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.839
<v Speaker 1>every bride'smaid of But why that just sounds like fun

0:40:56.920 --> 0:40:57.160
<v Speaker 1>is our?

0:40:57.320 --> 0:40:57.400
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:40:57.520 --> 0:40:59.279
<v Speaker 1>So like you need to have this polished wedding that

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:00.640
<v Speaker 1>has no personality.

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, no one listens to trends anyway. I'm just

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:03.880
<v Speaker 2>saying that's what the algorithm told me.

0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think people should be listening to algorithms for weddings.

0:41:07.680 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I think I have the wedding that you want to have,

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 1>absolutely yeah, And I would one hundred percent prefer a

0:41:12.680 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 1>couple to do a silly choreographed dance then to watch

0:41:15.680 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 1>two people awkwardly sway from side to side. Wow.

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Double down, Laura. I Am going to be awkwardly swaying

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 2>from side to side so Ben does not crump, He

0:41:23.719 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 2>does not do choreography.

0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Ben will do the awkward sway. You've just had six

0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks of like professional elite dancing.

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to sasha around him ways stands still

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:33.440
<v Speaker 2>in them match if you just stand still and like

0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 2>sways like an elephants side to side and I'm like

0:41:35.320 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 2>sashaying around.

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.279
<v Speaker 1>But that would almost be like any man who's on

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Dancing with the Stars, Like if you've watched that show,

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>most of the men don't have to dance, They just

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>do a couple of like steps and the professional female

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>dancer spins around them so rapidly that it makes them

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 1>look good.

0:41:48.160 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 2>They always do in they do nothing. I mean, the

0:41:50.320 --> 0:41:52.680
<v Speaker 2>women are doing backflips in high heels. But I will

0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably try and teach Ben like one. What I'm

0:41:56.320 --> 0:42:00.160
<v Speaker 2>hoping is we can make it look good. I'm hoping

0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:03.319
<v Speaker 2>that sixty percent is swaying from side side, but then

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I can put a good dip in and put one

0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:07.560
<v Speaker 2>good lift in. It's got to be thirty seconds, that's it,

0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and then I'm hoping that we can nail it. We

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 2>can confuse people so much and I'll I'll probably have

0:42:13.360 --> 0:42:15.919
<v Speaker 2>some fireworks going off to distract at the same time

0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:17.520
<v Speaker 2>so people don't know where to look.

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:21.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, guys, well, look that is it from us.
