WEBVTT - WE ARE BACK BABY! Did he put a ring on it? And taking swipes at your ex

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Life Uncut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose lands

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>were never seated. We pay our respects to their elders

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>past and present.

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. This episode was

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 2>recorded on de rug Wallamata Land. Hi guys, and welcome

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 2>back to another episode of Life Uncut.

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm Laura. I'm Frittney, and this feels a little bit weird.

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you swear to God, you have like

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>three or four weeks off Matts and you feel like

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:36.599
<v Speaker 1>you've got your learning plates back on. Well.

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the reason why we feel like that is

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>because you're not in the fucking country. Britta and I

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>are always in studio together. We can always touch each other.

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I can rub my feet on her.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I can see you always put gangrenous toes all over me,

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's disgusting. That's why I had to move to

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the world temporarily, Laura, to get away

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>from your rank feet is not the only reason gangrenes toes.

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I fell in love to, but also your

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>feet a bit of me.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Britt is still in Scotland. She's staying over there for

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>a couple more weeks. I think you're coming back on

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>like the ninth of February, isn't it.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got like two weeks left.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are we in different hemispheres? I don't even know.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes we are. Everyone's smiling because I'm an idiot. He

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>should keep that in.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Laura. Are we in different countries? What language do they

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>speak over in Scotland?

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Would you believe that I didn't do very well in

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>geography at school? Would you believe that?

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Shock? Horror? I no, no, I'm shocked. Do you know

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>what's funny? My family came over to Scotland for Christmas,

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and Ben's family came and we all met. Was wonderful,

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>is beautiful, But his family is Swiss. My family's obviously

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>all Australian and everyone could understand everyone, except no one

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>could understand my dad. Everyone thought my dad was speaking

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>another language. Not even your own family can understand your dad.

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>So I understand why that he gets really relaxed. He

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>has a drink and he goes full like he's so

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>aussy oka is that what you call it? Like a

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>real because he's not bogan, that's not the word. He's

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>not boging at all, but he's real. Ock us everyone

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, what language are you speaking. Dad's like, what

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about? It's English, It's Australian nothing.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>No, no, He's like, I'm talking Central Cops, Harbor. That's

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>what this is what McCray, you're always so hurry? Yes,

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I told you geography not my strong point.

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.399
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing this now for four and a half years,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>five hundred episodes. We see each other every day, speak

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>every day, and you always forget where I'm from.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not going to try and defend myself because

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of true. This is our very first episode back.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>We've had four weeks off. If you haven't listened to them.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Over the last couple of weeks, we were posting some

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 2>of our live show conversations, so we had Michael King,

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 2>we had lerd pull In, we had Flex Marmi Drop.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>All of that was new content from and recorded at

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the live shows that we did. These were some of

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>our favorite ones, So if you haven't had a chance

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>to go back and listen to those, please do. But

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>we are back and resuming normal scheduling now.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, we did try at the end last year. For

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>a month we decided to try splitting up our episodes

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, so that Tuesday was now just to

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>catch up. Wednesday was the interview, Thursday was UK gun cut,

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and then Sunday was out radio episode, And it was

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>like a month long, two month long trial. See how

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>we felt, see how you felt, and we've decided to

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>keep it.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>We love it.

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>We asked you for your feedback. You love it a

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>lot as well. And I think it's easier to have

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the interview separated so that if you just feel like

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>an interview one day, you can go to it. If

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you just feel like having a little laugh and some

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>bands with us, you can go straight there. I'm really

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 1>vibing the new setup.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>The thing that we were experiencing with having the Tuesday

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>episodes being so big and doing like the life and

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the conversation and the whatever's happening in the world catched

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>up at the start and then going into a topic.

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 2>What that often meant is that if you guys were

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>sharing an episode with your friends, because maybe we're talking

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>about boundaries, maybe we were talking about cheating, whatever the

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>conversation was in that episode, people had to listen to

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty five minutes first to try and get to that content.

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And we understand that that's not for everyone. So that

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>was the main reason why we decided to break down

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>these episodes. So Tuesday this is it, this is just us,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and we'll unpack something that's happening in the world or

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>something that has spiked interest for us. And it's just

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>going to be Britt and Eye on these episodes, and

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>then we're going to get into it with the Wednesdays

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>being just the interviews. So that way, if there is

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>something that you think you need to share with your friends,

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to and they don't have to listen

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to us kind of babalon for twenty five minutes at

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>the start.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also now on the Thursday, we've decided to

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>keep Thursday pretty much purely asked uncut because you guys

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>seem to really love that episode, and we're going to

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>keep all the babble and the shit talk on the

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday and Thursdays. We're gonna add some more questions and

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>make them a bit more juicy bit media. So I'm

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to it.

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. All right, well, okay, bit of a catch up

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what has been happening over the past

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 2>four weeks because Britt I well, I mean I spent

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>most of my holiday in bed, but we'll get into

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that in a second. I feel like I have been

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 2>kept up to speed with your life via social media,

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>so I do feel like I know everything that has happened.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.679
<v Speaker 2>And obviously we've spoken heaves, but as we do most recordings,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 2>we try and keep things a secret so that we

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>can talk about it for the first time on the podcast.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>But you took that to the extreme. So Laura and

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I were texting. We follow each other on Socials, but

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't logged on for a little while too, Socials

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>whilst I was on holiday. Anyway, long story short, Laura

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and I are texting and then I think I said

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 1>to you, like have you been going out much? How

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>is your Christmas? Blah blah blah blah, And you said, oh, no,

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm dying of pneumonia. I've been in hospital. And I'm

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>like what You're like, Oh, I'm almost on the mend.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>It's two weeks of like my deathbed. And I was like,

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>how have you This is you keeping secrets to the extreme, Like,

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to pass away and I'm going to

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>be left solo hosting this podcast, I.

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Probably need to be informed produce as is in the winds,

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, I'm here, don't worry. If someone dies,

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready to go roll me out. She said, I

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't do that to you. You would, you absolutely would. I,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, did not.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Keep your funeral, Like, what's your podcast episode? While we bury?

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Laura would get good hits.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Though if I died, that would be a pretty well

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>downloaded episode.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I reckon if one of us passes away, I give

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you permission to do an epod sewed at my funeral

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>if you want. Do we do it before or do

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>we do it after?

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Probably after, so that we can recap it before I die,

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 2>before the funeral, the whole thing.

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.799
<v Speaker 1>I think a live stream.

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that we've established that the reason why I

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't tell you guys wasn't not because I was trying

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>to keep content for the podcast. I was so so

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 2>sick that I didn't get out of bed for about

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe twelve thirteen days. I just I didn't even really

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 2>wake up. I just kind of stayed in bed. Matt

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Matt was given in a coma.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I was self induced coma. Matt was incredible.

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>He did everything, He took the kids, He just managed

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 2>the house. He got them out of the house so

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't have to, like so that I could sleep,

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>But it was just this unrelenting cough. And then it

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 2>must have been maybe two weeks ago now, on a Sunday.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I woke up this one and had been getting progressively

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>worse every day, couldn't stop coughing. Thought I had really

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>bad asthma, and like maybe the flu. And then I

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>woke up this one day and I could not breathe,

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>like I just couldn't get any air in my lungs,

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't stop coughing. Then I was feeling all panicky

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 2>because I couldn't breathe, and I was like, maybe I'm

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>having a panic attack. I ended up the hospital and

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 2>had chest X ray, dared and all that, lots of stuff,

0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and they gave me some hectic antibiotics. But also so

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I had this moment like when I say, Matt really

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>stepped up to the plate, Like I think that when

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 2>you're sick, it's a real indicator as to how good

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>your partner is. Because some partners really step up, they

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>care for you, they do the work. Other partners they

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>start off good and then they trail off real quick.

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's an indicator of having a great partner.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>There was this one moment where I realized. I was like, oh,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Matt as a keeper. This man loves me. And let

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>me tell you, it wasn't getting married or having children

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 2>that made me realize this. You would have thought I

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>would have been there. But one day I was coughing

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>and then I started throwing up, and then I threw

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>up in the bathroom and I threw up in the sink.

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>And if you've ever thrown up in the sink, it's

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of gross because then you've got a fish out all.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>The bits, and it like, like, is it the skinny drain?

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>The big hole drain? We have?

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Like the tiny drain that's got like the plug over

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the top of it so only water goes down to

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>protect the plumbing. And here it was a sink full

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>of spaghetti arabiata. And he walked in and he looked

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>at me, and you could see on his face he

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 2>was like, why the sink. The toilet is right there,

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>And he didn't say anything, and he went and he

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>got a cup and he just patted my back and

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 2>then he stood there with a cup in a bucket

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and he fished it out of the sink. And I

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>know this is very graphic, and I'm very sorry if

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you're someone who is vomit squeamish. But I was on

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the floor of the bathroom that day and I was like,

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>this man, he loves me.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>That is one hundred percent, without doubt love. But I

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>also know that level of illness where you don't even care,

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like when you're laying on the ground, like, correct me

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>if you've never done this, I have an eye that

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>happened to a friend. When you're laying on the ground

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and you're just like when you have hectic gashtro when

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you're that sick, you don't care where it comes out.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 1>You're like, I could not careless, Like that's future me problem.

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I think you're on your own.

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I would care regardless. Actually, no, I take

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 2>that back, because like ninety percent of women who have

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 2>given birth have done a poo in front of their partner,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and like, you don't care, you think you will. Every

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>single person who goes into pregnancy and birthing thinks, oh

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>my god, what if I pooh in front of my partner? God,

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.319
<v Speaker 2>that's embarrassing. And then as it's happening, you're like, whatever,

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>deal with it.

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of I did try and keep up to date

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 1>well with what was happening in your life, Like I

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 1>did a few Google searches every now and again. See

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I there are any pap photos of you at the beach,

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>just seeing like what you and the family were doing.

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you're cute. I'll just follow them from the baparazzi.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. If you want to keep up to date

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 2>with what's happening in my life, you don't have to

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 2>look at the news, believe it or not.

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Well I didn't. I decided, look, the time difference was

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 1>too hard. I wasn't gonna calling wake you up. It

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>was just like a fleeting moment. I'll give you a

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Google And the first thing that comes up, which I'm

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>so honored to know, was that you Laura Byrne did

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a four point five Q shit and told mad about it.

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>That was the headline of the Daily Mail article. And

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what the fuck have I missed?

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Explain that Keisha's looking shocked as though she hasn't you

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't know this, So Matt and I created a skit video.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 2>The skit video was very much satire, but I think

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>some people don't understand what satire is, and that's okay.

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know geography. Some people don't know satire.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>The satirical skit was around how when you first get

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>into a relationship and you're dating, you are on absolute

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>best behavior, right, So if you need to go to

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the toilet, and you're only just in that initial stages

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>of dating, you walk into the bathroom and you put

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>music on, or you put the tap on so that

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 2>they can't hear any toilet noises. You pad down the

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>toilet like I once dated this guy who lived in

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a studio apartment, so his toilet was pretty much in

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the bedroom. There was nowhere to hide, there was nothing.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I used to have to ask him to go out

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>in the balcony and I would pad that toilet down.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>You go to the extreme length so that you don't

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>let them hear your toilet noises, and then when you

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.560
<v Speaker 2>not for everyone, I appreciate this. There's two types of people.

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>We've established that in the past. But for some of us,

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>you get into a comfy relationship, things change. You let

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 2>yourself go and no longer do you put music on

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 2>or put the tap on or whatever. You'll walk out

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and you'll describe like what a cathartic experience it was. Anyway,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that was the skit. It was very funny.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Ha ha ha.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Also got like some crazy like five million views on Instagram,

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>so it did really.

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, Laura, people movement.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 2>If there's one thing that we can all relate to,

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>everybody shits. So we did this skit very funny. And

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 2>then I wake up the next day to an article

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>that my mom has sent me because my mom has

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>not seen the skit yet, So my mom sends me

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>an article and it says this. Laura Byrne shocks her

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>fans as she reveals she did the biggest pooh of

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 2>her entire life and lost four kilos. This entire article

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>now once again, the publisher of this, this journalist who

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>wrote this has done me dirty a few times. Her

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 2>name's Marta j Marta j No, Marta Jari. She's written

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>a couple of articles and it seems like she misses

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>satire and humor a bit or she doesn't like me.

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>It could be the second I know he gets it.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's written a few articles that have truly done

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>me dirty over the years. But anyway, this one, it

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>was written as though The skit was completely truth and verbatim,

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 2>so it outlined me coming out saying like, you know,

0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>do you want to come see it? Me talking about

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>poo to mad and the whole article was written as

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 2>though I had just gotten onto Instagram and done like

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>stories and be like, hey everyone, I did a boo,

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>which clearly didn't happen. But the Internet now thinks that

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>that did happen, and that will live in perpetuity on

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 2>the Daily Mail for the rest of my life. No,

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.440
<v Speaker 2>my mum sent it, and she sent this message and

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>she said, Laura, I know that you're okay with sharing things,

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>but something should be kept a secret.

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, you could print that out and put it on

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the wall right next to the urine shower. You've had some,

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you had some banger articles. To be fair, I'm.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Pretty sure Marta wrote that one too. To be honest,

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I think she did. I think she did to you. Hey,

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 2>what did I do to you?

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>You haven't done a four kilo shit? Come on with

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>all dumbe no, no, no. I thought it was very funny.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>And Ben's bathroom, he's only got one, and it's one

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.959
<v Speaker 1>of those three way bathrooms you know where like the

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.199
<v Speaker 1>bedroom goes. It's an on suite, but it's not non sweet.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>It also services the rest of the house, like there's

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>multile ways in. And it was really hard at the

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>start because I was like, you know, new, I don't

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>want to PuO in front of you. I want you here,

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>but you can literally literally lay in bed and hear me.

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>It's gotten a bit better now I will be like, yo,

0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>going to do a poop, hold the line, but I

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>still don't far in front of him, right, Like I

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>just refuse to do it. Anyway, last night, I was

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 1>like I was just feeling unwell, and I was like,

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>like I knew it was not going to be a

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 1>good one. So I walked out of the bedroom into

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen and then my plan was to come back,

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't know Ben follow me. So Ben was

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>following me to the kitchen to get a drink. And

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I walked to the fire end of the kitchen turned

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>around and he was there and.

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what are you doing?

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 1>And I could it was a bomb like this is

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>not good. I was like, what are you doing?

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Go back to bed.

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I can bring you what you want.

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'm just gonna get a drink of water.

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Just hiding him, and he's like, what what's that smell?

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I don't smell anything, and he's like, yeah,

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>what is that? And I was like, oh, eh, what

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>is that? And then I pretended to find chicken wing thing,

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like a leftover chickening. I was like, oh my god,

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>it's this leftover chicken wing, and then threw it out.

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's how I covered my fart. I'm still so

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>far from tell him the truth. He'll probably listen to

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 1>this now and he'll know. So anyway, it's out in

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>the open. I dropped a bomb. Sorry, Ben.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>You guys just need to like live more liberally. You

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>need to get to a point of comfort and relaxation

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.319
<v Speaker 2>with your partner. It's better for the relationship. It brings

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 2>you closer, It makes you love each other more, you

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 2>understand each other. I know, Matthew Johnson inside and out.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I can say that outside and I know well, while you.

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Were in bed dying and writing your will and last testament,

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I had a very important meaning. So I was meeting

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben's family for the very first time, and my family

0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>had obviously flown over from Australia. They were meeting Ben's

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>family for the first time, but it was the first

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 1>time in person. I actually have unfortunately met Ben's family before.

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I told this at the live show, so some of

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you might have heard it, but I die a little

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>inside every time I think about it. Ben and I

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>are on different sides of the world. So every time

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>we FaceTime, which is twice a day minimum, so morning

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and night for both of us. One about morning one

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.040
<v Speaker 1>of our night, and it's always when I'm get be

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>ready in the morning, so I will put the iPad

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>up and I'll go and have a shower, will breakfast,

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>have coffee, we'll get ready for work, all of that,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>just like normal life while the other person's on the iPad. Anyway,

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>one morning, I've stripped off and I'm just about to

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>get into the shower, and the iPad starts reading and

0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it's Ben. Some like perfect timing, like titties are out,

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>they're looking full. It was probably that time of the month.

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I had great lighting. It wasn't too overhead. It was

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just like really choice, like for a newdi.

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>FaceTime, so so descriptive. Thank you.

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>So I put the iPad down on the bathroom sink

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and I lean out of the frame to turn the

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 1>shower on as I've pressed pick up, so it's loading.

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>As I'm out of frame, turning the shower on, and

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>as I lean back into frame, just like really vibing myself,

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I look at the screen and there's Ben and he's

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>staring back at me. And right next to Ben, he's

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Ben's mom and Ben's dad and Ben's sister and Ben

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>have decided, without any prior acknowledgment, to do a family

0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>FaceTime at my shower time. So I'm standing looking them

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>in the eyes. My titties are looking them in the eyes.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>They're looking me in the eyes. I panic rolled to

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the ground and I'm like, this is how I am

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like burying me right now. I'm completely dead. And I

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>just sat there in silence, and I yelled out from

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the bottom and they were like, don't worry, Britt, we

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't see anything. And I'm like, oh please, Like, who

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>says that? You only say that unless you saw something? Yeah?

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Like no, One's like, oh, you don't have anything.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>In your teeth.

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 1>You know you have something in your teeth, do you know?

0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>The funny? Okay, the part about this that I think

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>is great, the reason why they were in such confined

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>space because it's not normal. No one's ever like huddling

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 2>around the phone with their entire family being like, let's

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>FaceTime Bread.

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>They were in a car together.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 2>They were all driving, and so Ben had just like

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 2>picked up and put up FaceTime and put the phone

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 2>into the car holder. Yes, and then up Brit Pops

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>and so do the rest of brit The reason they

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 2>were all in the car together was because they were

0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 2>going to like his grandparents grave.

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>It was like it was like a grave visit.

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I feel bad him and saying that

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>bury me. Now I'm going to hell.

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Anyway. No, so do you know what? It was such

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>a wholesome Christmas for us, like a wholesome family meet.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 1>So my family were here for two weeks and his

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>family came over for about five days. We all just

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>hung out, got along like a house on fire. It

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>was really nice because you always hope that you like

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 1>your in laws and that your families get along, and

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 1>like that's the goal, right, Like there's nothing worse than

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>if somebody doesn't want someone else in the family.

0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 2>When I was dying in bed, I was like looking

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>at your Instagram, and normally I would look at it

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>and be jealous. Look at this beautiful time you're having.

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 2>But I was looking at it and living vicariously through

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you actually looked like you were enjoying yourself.

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>You did then go to the mold Dives. I'm gonna

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 2>say it wrong, Maldives. Maldives. No one caress Okay.

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.200
<v Speaker 1>No, actually a lot of people care. I found that out.

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 1>It's it is mold Eves, not Maldives, not mold Dives,

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.439
<v Speaker 1>mold Eves, Moldie to be sure. Yeah, and I know

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>because I kicked up a big stink on Instagram. No,

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>it was the Maldives. Oh see, I can't fuck it.

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna call it the Maldives because that's how Australians

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 1>say it. The Maldives for me, were a place that

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>have been on my bucket listens as long as I

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>can remember, and I always wondered if things were photoshopped

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.880
<v Speaker 1>there or it almost seems too postcard and too good

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>to be true. But hands down it has to be

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the most spectacular place I've ever seen. It was wildly beautiful.

0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 1>There is nowhere that you could look that was not

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 1>like a postcard like a picture, like you could just

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>pull your phone out, take a picture and it looks

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>like someone has photoshoped the most magical island. So we

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>had an incredible time, but it was just like the

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>holiday of a lifetime. It's always the place you want

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to go with someone, like a romantic special friends, like,

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 1>it's not the sort of place you want to go

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>as a backpacker or with friends. For me, like, I

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 1>always was like, I'm not going to go to the

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>mal Dives until I'm gone with a lover. Like it

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:41.919
<v Speaker 1>was just on my it was on my checklist, it

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>was on my mood board, my internal mood board. I've

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>never had an actual mood board. So I waited all

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>this time until I could go there with a lover.

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And it was the most romantic place you've ever seen.

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, there was something that I wanted to talk

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 2>to you about because I think this is something that's

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 2>very well one. I mean, obviously you've just experienced it,

0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 2>but it's very relatable because I think this is something

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.480
<v Speaker 2>that a lot of us do to our friends who

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>have been in long term or seemingly happy relationships. Before

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 2>you left, we had a bit of a conversation where

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, do you think potentially Ben could propose on

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>this trip and you said, I don't think so, like maybe,

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>who fucking knows, you know. So, there was this one

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 2>evening you were going to an underwater restaurant. You were

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 2>dressed in a little white dress, you had your nails

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>perfectly done with white trim. I had this moment where

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.439
<v Speaker 2>I had excitement for you, like I genuinely felt like,

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, maybe Ben's going to propose. And I

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 2>sent you a message at that time which was like

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 2>ring ring emoji emoji like are you engaged yet?

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Question mark?

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And I sent it and then I very quickly after

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>sending it, realized and had this moment where I was like,

0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.959
<v Speaker 2>I should not have sent that, And we haven't really

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 2>discussed this yet. I had a moment where I thought

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 2>like that was not the right thing to do. And

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I would love to unpack this a little bit because

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.679
<v Speaker 2>I know you have some feelings about it, and I

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.639
<v Speaker 2>think that this is something that so many people have

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 2>experienced in their long term happy relationships, where well meaning

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.920
<v Speaker 2>friends way in on when or if an engagement is

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:07.640
<v Speaker 2>going to happen, And then like, I'd love to talk

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>about the impact that has on your ability to enjoy yourself.

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, It's an interesting one because I got it so

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>much right left front and center. I was getting it

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>from just the comments from whomever. And the thing is

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not just that are you engaged yet? But it's

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that when are you going to get engaged? It's at

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Ben proposed already at Brittany, when is he going to propose?

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Is if I know that answer? And then the best

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 1>friends like you, literally, while I'm in the white dress

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>on the date, has he proposed yet? And I'm like, okay, motherfucker.

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm on a date in the white dress. He

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>hasn't yet proposed, than he's going to propose? Can I

0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.719
<v Speaker 1>eat my second clam chowder meal that's about to come out?

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Or should I push it to the side. I don't

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 1>want to have clam chowder breath If he's about to propose.

0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god set me into a downward spiral.

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for ruining my evening, Laura, is

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 2>really what you wanted to relate back to me?

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 1>No, and it it didn't ruin my evening, but it does.

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.280
<v Speaker 1>It's an interesting conversation because flat out I want to

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:09.479
<v Speaker 1>say to everybody listening right now, don't message your friend

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and say are you engaged yet or when you're gonna

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>get engaged, just don't do it. The reason I say

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that is if it is about to happen, you don't

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>want it spoiled, right, You know when someone messaging you that,

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I've got so much anxiety, now is

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it going to happen? Do they know something that I don't?

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It adds like this, it's really hard to describe. It

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>adds this weird pressure to not only you like me,

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 1>but to the relationship as well. Because Ben was reading

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>all those messages and I was reading all those messages,

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and before we went away, Laura, you had said to me,

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>do you think he's going to propose? And I had said, look,

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I don't think this is the

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 1>time I'm going to say no. But we are going

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to be together for a while in some pretty romantic places,

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 1>so I guess anything is possible. So I had had,

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 1>like the whole time, I'd always had this one little

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that white dress. I was like, this will be my

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>backup engagement if I feel like it's going to happen.

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't think it's going to happen, but it

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't hurt to be prepared fail to prepare is preparing

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to fail.

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I love that. Put that on your twenty twenty four

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>quote calendar. Everybody, that's what that is. Put that on

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 2>your mood board.

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. And then what it does was because

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just me and it was public and Ben

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 1>was seeing it. And I'm lucky that Ben and I

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 1>are very open with our communication. One thing we're very

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>good at is being really honest. And you know, I

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.800
<v Speaker 1>was getting flooded with the questions and we had a

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>really honest conversation about it. He had said, look, I've

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 1>seen all the comments and I've seen your DMS, and

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I said, yeah, like I just brushed off as a joke.

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yeah, like so many people ask you

0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm going to get engaged, isn't that crazy?

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine, everything's fine.

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like so silly, but everyone's saying it. And then

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.359
<v Speaker 1>he was just like, well do you feel like that?

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Like did you think that? And as soon as he

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.399
<v Speaker 1>said that, I was like, oh, it's definitely not happening

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because you wouldn't be bringing up the conversation and I

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 1>was really honest and I said, look, no, but we're

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.640
<v Speaker 1>in the mal dives and it's the most romantic relation

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like trip we've ever been on, and we're having a blast,

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>so like it wouldn't have shocked me if you didn't,

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.159
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't expected. And we just had this conversation

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that he felt really bad. He felt like a lot

0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 1>of pressure put on him from everybody else, that maybe

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I had read these comments and dams and gotten my

0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:28.639
<v Speaker 1>hopes up, and then he wasn't going to do it.

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't planning on doing it, So then every day

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>he felt like he was letting me down. It was

0:23:34.400 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a really weird feeling, and I tried to communicate that.

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I tried to say, look, you're not letting me down,

0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Like we can't let other people's opinions pressure us into something,

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and also I don't want to let these other questions

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>put a dampener on our holiday. But truth be told,

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 1>you can't help but feel this added level of pressure.

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 1>And it just makes me think about like we've only

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 1>been together fourteen months, makes me think about my friends

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:01.159
<v Speaker 1>that have been to together, Like I have friends that

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>were together seven years, and constantly everyone is asking her

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>when he's going to propose. Why don't you guys just

0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 1>get married, and it's really the bane of her existence,

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>right because she's like, I really want him to propose.

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm beside myself waiting, and it just gave her so

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>much anxiety every time somebody said, why don't you just

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 1>get married, as if like you know, she can just

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>pull a rabbit out of a hat. And it made

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>me think back to all these people in these like

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>really long term relationships. It's not a it's not a

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>positive thing to do to a friend, like you're you

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>mean to be really good, willing, but it's not.

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.119
<v Speaker 2>Well I think, and that was my thought about this.

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like this conversation is like the precursor to

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the when are you having kids? Conversation? And we've spoken

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>about this loads in the past. We all know now

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that that is not an okay thing to speak about

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 2>or to talk to, you know, unless someone brings it up. Specifically,

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you don't ask someone when they're having children. I don't

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.359
<v Speaker 2>think that when are you're getting engaged is as bad

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>because obviously there's many reasons why people can't and don't

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 2>want to have children. But I do think this conversation

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 2>around engagement, when you ask the question, all it does

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.560
<v Speaker 2>especially when your friends had gone away on a beautiful holiday.

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>All it's going to do is either add pressure, it's

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 2>going to change their ability to enjoy it. It's going

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 2>to have them on the lookout. And I even say

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 2>this from my own experience, because when Matt proposed, I

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.880
<v Speaker 2>was seven and a half months pregnant and we'd gone

0:25:15.880 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to Fiji on a holiday, like if there was ever

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 2>going to be a time, it was probably then, and

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.879
<v Speaker 2>everybody had said the same to me, And I think

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I woke up every day on that holiday thinking is

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>this the day?

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>And I guess I had definitely had expectations and had hopes.

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Had I left that holiday and Matt hadn't proposed, I

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 2>would have felt really disappointed. And I guess that was

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>what I reflected on when I asked you the question,

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:43.600
<v Speaker 2>brit because I realized that I was adding to the

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>exact same thing that I felt when I was in

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 2>that situation totally.

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 1>One thing that was funny that I will say is

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that there was this one night, We're having this really

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 1>romantic dinner, like it could have been the place of

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.239
<v Speaker 1>a proposal, right. It was just the two of us

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>on a private beach with private chefs. It's like this

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>it extra that you buy when I say private beach,

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 1>like the resorts have sections, you know that a private

0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:07.439
<v Speaker 1>but candles everywhere, like candles coming out of the It

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 1>was insanely romantic. Right on the water. The water was

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 1>lapping up and it was seafood and there was wine.

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 1>It was beautiful. And these people walked past us on

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the wharf and they started going whoa and clapping because

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Ben and I had started to cry and were hugging

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>link and hugged each other. So from the outside you'd

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>look at us like a few tears running down our face,

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.399
<v Speaker 1>hugging romantic. So they thought we got engaged, but we

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:43.479
<v Speaker 1>were talking about our dead grandparents. And it was so funny,

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>like the moment couldn't have been any different or any

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>funny because they thought we were getting engaged because they

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>thought they were happy tears, but we were talking about

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>our dead grandparents.

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 2>The moral of the story is you never know. BRIT's

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 2>something I I wanted to talk to you about that

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 2>has happened. I mean, in the past couple of weeks

0:27:02.840 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 2>plus we've been away. We all know the Golden Globes

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>has had so much airtime Over the past few weeks,

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like every time I open up Instagram, it's

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Golden Globes Chat.

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Does anyone actually still watching this year?

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>People only watch it on recap through social media, and

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 2>then they read the articles and then we look at

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:20.600
<v Speaker 2>like all the cool dresses.

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, in worst dress, just like those stupid lists that

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you see pop up everywhere.

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 2>My heart, He's not Golden Globes.

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I say this?

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know if anyone actually sat down

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>with a cup of tea and watched the whole thing, Like,

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I would love to know if those people still exist.

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>But maybe they do. They must exist. But anyway, I

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>don't want to talk about the Golden Globes. I want

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the sequel to the Golden Globes, the

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 2>thing that not enough people are talking about, and that

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>is the Critics' Choice Awards. Now. The reason for this

0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 2>is because if you've seen this, so, Chelsea Handler was

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the presenter. She was the main.

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Host for the Critics Choice Awards.

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>And what you might not know is that Chelsea Handler

0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 2>is actually the X of Joe Coy.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, Joe Koy is the guy who was hosting the

0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globes, the one who flopped so sensationally, who made

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 1>terrible jokes about Barbie, about Oppenheimer from the minute he

0:28:10.119 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>stepped on stage to eleven minutes when his terrible monologue finished.

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It was a flop, and Chelsea Handler did the exact

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 1>opposite and also kind of threw her Rex under the

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>bus at the same time. It hard to watch, wasn't it? Wait?

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Which one? Joe?

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel awkward thinking about it, like thinking about the

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 1>silence and the flop, and how offensive he was on

0:28:32.640 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the stage and how much he would have wanted to

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>crawl into a hole. Like when I think back, I

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>feel gross.

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 2>So I mean to give you guys a little bit

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>of recap if you haven't and you aren't across his

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 2>speech from the Golden Globes, Basically it started off and

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 2>it was very gender stereotyped. He really took aim at Barbie,

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and this was one of the things he said.

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 4>Oppenheimer and Barbie are competing for cinematic box office achievement.

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 4>Oppenheimer is based on a seven hundred and twenty one

0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 4>page pull it to winning book about the Manhattan Project,

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 4>and Barbie is on a plastic doll with big boobies.

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Any grown man using the word boobies is an instant IgG.

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 2>But also what's an even bigger ick is the fact

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>that Barbie was such an incredible, as we all know,

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a huge blockbuster. It revolutionized the movie industry last year,

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>and it also elevated beyond the movie. It was like

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 2>a social experiment. People were having Barbie parties. Mattel sales

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 2>absolutely boomed. It completely reinvented this empowerment of women around

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 2>a doll that, once upon a time was the stereotype

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of women. And I think that his speech so undervalued that,

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and it was so disregarding of everything that was achieved

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>last year. The thing that I wanted to talk about

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 2>with the Critics' Choice Award, and the reason why I

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>think it should be getting more airtime is because of

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 2>all the things that Chelsea Handler did that were in

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the complete opposite to the way that Joe handled his speech. Now,

0:29:58.760 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 2>from the moment that she stepped on Stay, she spoke

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 2>about the incredible successes of women throughout twenty twenty three

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 2>within the industry. She spoke about Greta Gowig being one

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the most successful directors of all time, and also

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:15.800
<v Speaker 2>around the achievements of people like Oprah of Taylor Swift,

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three was the year of women, is how

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 2>she framed it.

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 2>The thing that really also stood out in this is

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you guys might remember there was this one part where

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 2>when Joe was on stage, he was absolutely flailing with

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 2>his jokes. They weren't landing, and instead of being self

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 2>deprecating when you're a comedian, I feel like that that's

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the way to best handle a situation where maybe jokes

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>aren't landing well. Instead of him doing that, he threw

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 2>his writers under the bus.

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Some I wrote. Some other people wrote, yo, I got

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 4>the gig ten days ago. You want a perfect monologue? Yo,

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 4>shut up, you got You're kidding me right, slow down?

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 4>I wrote somebodys and they're the ones you're laughing at.

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea, on the other hand, when her jokes woreding and

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:03.560
<v Speaker 2>she was getting such a laugh from her audience, instead

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of throwing her writers under a bus, what she did

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 2>was she thanked her writers, thank you for.

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Laughing at that. My writers wrote it. Now.

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the reason why this is so pointed, and

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I truly loved it so much, and there's been a

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of chatter about this on TikTok at the moment too,

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is simply because the fact that they once upon a

0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>time dated, so Joe and Chelsea they dated for only

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 2>one year, but prior to that they were friends for

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty years. It does make you question, like is it

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 2>okay to throw your X under the bus and to

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>use them in a way that makes them the butt

0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of the joke when you have seen that they have

0:31:38.480 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>failed so monumentally at something within a public space.

0:31:41.640 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's no more of a public space and

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll like a throw down for your ex than if

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:49.719
<v Speaker 1>you're hosting the Critics Choice and a week before they

0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.479
<v Speaker 1>flopped to the Golden Globes, Like, it doesn't get bigger

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and better and more of a slam down than that.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the difference is Joe, whether it was hum or,

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 1>his writers, he was just punching down and a lot

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>at really low hanging fruit. And I feel like Chelsea

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 1>still took her swings at people, but I think she

0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 1>did it quite cleverly. Like one thing I love that

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>she said was this is the year of women. Barbie

0:32:12.520 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>at the box office, Taylor Swift and Beyonce with their

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:19.040
<v Speaker 1>tours Gwyneth Paltrow and her Ski trial, and I just

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:22.560
<v Speaker 1>thought that was so fun I thought that was so

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 1>funny because Gwyneth Poulter had a real moment at her

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Ski trial. But I don't think she'd be offended by

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that by what Chelsea said. I think it was clever, funny,

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and a bit more top line. But there were some

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>people on TikTok, and it does make you question. There

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 1>are people on TikTok saying what happens if a man

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>was saying some of the things that Chelsea was saying.

0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.239
<v Speaker 1>And I say that because she was talking about how

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 1>good looking the older men in the room were. She

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 1>was talking about Harris and Ford and how much of

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:50.960
<v Speaker 1>a smoke show he was. She was talking about wanting

0:32:50.960 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 1>to roll men around like little meat balls because they

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 1>were delicious. Like it's funny. You sit there and you laugh,

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:58.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's not until you think about, okay, what if

0:32:58.720 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a man did say that, well, Ivans that land still

0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 1>as funny? Is it okay? Because it's in the context

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>of throwing all this stuff back in another man's face

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.120
<v Speaker 1>from his speech a week ago, Like there are so

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:09.239
<v Speaker 1>many moving parts to this.

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Just for some context, if you haven't listened to the speech,

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 2>We'll link it in the show notes so that you

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 2>can listen to the whole thing. But there was one

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 2>part where she made a joke about Leonardo and his

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 2>tendency to date very young women. And what she said was,

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 2>and this is where most comedians would make a joke

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>about Leonardo's dating preferences. But I'm not going to do

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 2>that because I have the same affliction as Leo does,

0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 2>but in the opposite direction. I prefer my men old

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and hot men who have been around since the railways

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>were invented, speaking of which Robert de Niro and Harrison

0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Ford are here in the room. And then she went

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 2>to town on Robert de Niro and Harrison Ford about

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>how hot they are for very very old men. And look,

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 2>the question has been asked, what if a man was

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to say the things and objectify in the way that

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Hander has objectifying Robert de Niro and Harrison Ford.

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>And to that, I say, boohoo. I do not feel

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 2>that sorry for incredibly successful middle aged white men. Are

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 2>they middle aged? Are they beyond middle aged? I think

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 2>that they're like in their sixties now, who knows, I think,

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 2>But I don't feel sorry for them. And the reason

0:34:10.880 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>why is because everyone's like, imagine if a man sees

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:17.759
<v Speaker 2>these things, we don't need to imagine. That's why she's

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>flipping the script, because these things have been said in

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 2>many ways about women for so many years.

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 1>But then does that make it right? Two runs don't

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 1>make a right. I don't care if we are fighting

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:32.520
<v Speaker 1>for people not to say this. Do you think the

0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.400
<v Speaker 1>right thing is to be saying this? And I'm just

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it was funny. I laughed at

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. But when someone pointed out that if

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a man did say that, I was like, do you

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>know what. Imagine if a man was up there and said, oh,

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I would love to throw Margo Robbie around like a meatball.

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>She's so hot, it would be up enough.

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:50.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess the reason why I disagree with it so deeply,

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and I know that there will be people who feel

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the same, who go, oh, well, a woman shouldn't be

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 2>making sexist jokes in the same way that a man can't.

0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>The reason why I don't care as much is because

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 2>it comes down to this idea of punching up or

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:03.880
<v Speaker 2>punching down in a joke and We've spoken about this

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>loads in the podcast in the past, but someone like

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Chelsea Handler making a joke at Harrison Ford or Robert

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.959
<v Speaker 2>de Niro's expense is not her punching down on them.

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:17.919
<v Speaker 2>She is still punching up because I think arguably they

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.440
<v Speaker 2>are very very I mean not even ugly. It's a

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:24.480
<v Speaker 2>fact they are very successful, well established men within an

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:27.960
<v Speaker 2>industry that has always favored men and women are still

0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:32.840
<v Speaker 2>working for the same equality. That exact sentiment was reflected

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:36.120
<v Speaker 2>in Chelsea Handler's speech where she talked about Greta Gerwig.

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:42.280
<v Speaker 3>With Barby, Greta became the highest grossing female director of all.

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Time, pulling in over one point.

0:35:44.719 --> 0:35:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Four billion dollars at the box office. So while David

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Zaslov was wearing a zip up vest and sailing off

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:56.640
<v Speaker 3>to Sanchope, one very talented.

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Woman swooped in with a movie about.

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Female empowerment and saved the entire movie industry, which can

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 3>only mean one thing. Hollywood executives are currently debating whether

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Greta's worth taking a second chance on.

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that was very funny from Chelsea Handler, and

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 1>it was pans down my favorite line of for not.

0:36:17.320 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I guess that it comes back to this

0:36:18.719 --> 0:36:20.880
<v Speaker 2>idea that it's flipping the script. It was a moment

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:23.920
<v Speaker 2>of really celebrating what women have achieved, but it was

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 2>flipping the script and the narrative on men within the

0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:28.080
<v Speaker 2>room as well, and I think it was done in

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 2>a very tongue in cheek way. I don't think that

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 2>anyone has fallen victim to Chelsea Handles's speech, and I

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 2>know that it has caused a little bit of debate

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:39.280
<v Speaker 2>around what isn't isn't acceptable, But there's been many conversations

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 2>around women attending awards ceremonies and only being asked about

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 2>what they're wearing or who they're wearing, instead of being

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 2>asked about anything to do with their accolades from the

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:51.319
<v Speaker 2>actual shows in which they've been a part of. And

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:55.440
<v Speaker 2>this just I think really unpacks the issues of the industry,

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and she's making fun of that throughout her entire speech.

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it does come back to the question you

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>asked at the beginning, Laura, if you had the opportunity

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:08.879
<v Speaker 1>to take such a public swipe at your ex, would

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you take it? Because I mean, we have those opportunities

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and I don't feel like we've ever taken a public swipe.

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Are you living in fantasy land? I think all I

0:37:17.840 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 2>reckon this whole entire podcast was a swipe at our

0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.799
<v Speaker 2>exes to start with. I mean, we did, we grew

0:37:22.880 --> 0:37:26.120
<v Speaker 2>as people, and we evolved. I'm pretty sure Episode three

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was so I dated a sociopath.

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:30.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but no one knows who he is, what job

0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 1>he did, or anything. That's not a public swipe. Chelsea Handler,

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the whole world was fortune like it doesn't.

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Care more fol That is true. That is true. I

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 2>do feel like I've taken quite a few public swipes

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of my ex. But you know what, I don't feel

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:45.200
<v Speaker 2>bad because I do sometimes feel like he deserved it.

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 2>But I have grown as a person. We've been doing

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 2>this podcast for a very long time now, and I'm

0:37:49.280 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 2>much more sort of sensitive.

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>In how I go about it.

0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 2>But look, I think when it comes to that sort

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 2>of industry, when you work in entertainment, when you work

0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 2>in comedy especially, you have to be as good at

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:01.839
<v Speaker 2>taking it as what you are giving it. So if

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you are going to host the Golden Globes on such

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 2>a public scale and your ex is gonna host the Critics'

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Choice a week later, if you flop, I don't think

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 2>that you were off the table for fair game. I

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>think that it's almost like it is such good comedy material,

0:38:16.600 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 2>it is such comedy gold that of course she's going

0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>to go there, and of course she's going to take

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.359
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity. And the thing that I keep coming back

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to about Chelsea Handler and the reason why I enjoyed

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the speech so much, was because of the ways in

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:31.640
<v Speaker 2>which she created the comedy. She didn't punch down on anyone.

0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Even the times where she yes made people feel uncomfortable,

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 2>it was still like, I mean, look at this guy,

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>he's a hottie. And she was still punching down on

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 2>herself because she was talking about how she finds an

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>old man really attractive. Not a nice thing to say

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>to the old man in the room, but she still

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:47.720
<v Speaker 2>was at the butt of that joke at the same time.

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:50.319
<v Speaker 2>And I guess I would be so interested to know

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:54.200
<v Speaker 2>how everybody else feels about it, and whether sexist jokes

0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 2>in the flip like in the reverse, when her female

0:38:56.960 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 2>is being sexist about a male, whether it is less bad,

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:02.719
<v Speaker 2>whether it is a little bit more okay than when

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it happens in the stereotype, which is men being sexist

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.920
<v Speaker 2>towards women because that is how I feel, and sometimes

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I struggle to articulate the reason why. And I know

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:13.239
<v Speaker 2>that there shouldn't be two different sets of standards, but

0:39:13.320 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I do think it comes down to this punching up

0:39:15.000 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 2>punching down. I also think it comes down to the

0:39:18.239 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 2>very real victimization like women have been victims of as

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 2>we know, sexual violence, sexual assault, physical assault, women at

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the hands of male violence is a very very real issue,

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and so any type of sexist joke kind of leans

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.800
<v Speaker 2>in and perpetuates that, whereas men are not the victim

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.760
<v Speaker 2>of women, and so when women make jokes, it sits

0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 2>within the world of being a joke because it's not real,

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 2>because it doesn't happen on a day to day. So

0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's why I feel differently about the two.

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>But I'd love to know how everyone else feels, So

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 2>feel free to jump on socials because I know that

0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 2>this will probably stir up some mixed feelings for some people.

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.320

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 2>shit is happening to you, you're not even thinking about

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:38.839
<v Speaker 2>the fact that you're embarrassed. The first thing you're thinking

0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:40.439
<v Speaker 2>is I need to send this to Laura and Britt.

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I want real time embarrassing shit people like I've locked

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 2>myself in the bathroom right now. This is happening every

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.760
<v Speaker 2>we speak like they're live streaming it to us, which

0:40:47.880 --> 0:40:49.440
<v Speaker 2>is what I'm here for. This is what I want.

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 2>This is the point and the relationship that we have

0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 2>with you guys that we want.

0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you are having sex and quefin, we want

0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you to be thinking about us. That's the moment. Okay.

0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I was lying in my bed, my butt hanging out

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 1>because I had been wearing a dress, so it had

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:06.839
<v Speaker 1>sort of flipped up my back, you know, were you're

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:10.000
<v Speaker 1>just kicking your legs, enjoying your day. My partner walks

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>past and goes, oh, you have some fluff. Hang on

0:41:13.480 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>a minute, I'll get it leans down and proceeds to

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:24.120
<v Speaker 1>yank my tampon string out of my undies. How do

0:41:24.200 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>we live in a day and age where a man

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 1>sees a string coming out of a pair of unies

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and thinks it is a bit of fluff. Now it's

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty three people.

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I've told this story many years ago, and I think

0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 2>you've forgotten it. When we very very first started this podcast,

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 2>when I was seventeen. My first boyfriend, he was so lovely,

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:45.120
<v Speaker 2>he was so nice, genuinely. I think I peaked with

0:41:45.239 --> 0:41:49.000
<v Speaker 2>niceness in my relationships at seventeen. Then I went rapidly downhill.

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:50.760
<v Speaker 2>And then I got Matt and he was nice again.

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:54.399
<v Speaker 2>But he was nice, but he was so unaware about

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the female body, and that was because he'd never been

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 2>exposed to one prior to me. And there was this

0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:00.880
<v Speaker 2>one day we were at the beach. I was wearing

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:05.319
<v Speaker 2>a black bikini. Black bikini didn't have white stitching. There

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 2>was nothing white on the bikini at all. But I

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:10.280
<v Speaker 2>got out of the water after going for a swim,

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and he was sitting down and I was standing up

0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 2>with there with a group of friends, and I walked

0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:16.520
<v Speaker 2>up to him, and I had my tower wrapped around

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 2>my shoulders and my bikini bottoms and my legs were

0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:21.319
<v Speaker 2>like hanging out the bottom of this little tower. And

0:42:21.360 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 2>he goes, oh, baby, you've got a string, reaches between

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:28.840
<v Speaker 2>my legs and yanks it and pulls out my tampon,

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.319
<v Speaker 2>but into my swimmers. So it didn't come out, thank God,

0:42:31.360 --> 0:42:32.960
<v Speaker 2>because I think I would have had to have died.

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 2>We would have been doing the podcast from the cemetery.

0:42:35.120 --> 0:42:38.080
<v Speaker 2>But honestly, it was just floating in my swimmers. And

0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 2>he knew what he had done, and I knew what

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:43.640
<v Speaker 2>he had done, and we resist and oh yeah, he

0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:45.880
<v Speaker 2>felt that tug. He felt that book, but also been

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:47.399
<v Speaker 2>in water for a long time, so it was quite

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 2>quite buoyant. Slipped out a bit easier than it should have.

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Anyway.

0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 2>I just remember having intense eye contact with him because

0:42:53.719 --> 0:42:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to make a deal, and I was

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:56.640
<v Speaker 2>like in my eyes, I was.

0:42:56.600 --> 0:42:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Like, what the fuck have you done?

0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:01.880
<v Speaker 2>And then I I went to the bathroom, fixed myself up,

0:43:02.000 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 2>came back, and we pretended like it never happened. We

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 2>never spoke about it, because that's what you do when

0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:10.280
<v Speaker 2>you're seventeen. You ignore anything that's uncomfortable forever.

0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I would have had to break up at seventeen, Like

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that relationship be at that age?

0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 2>I reckon, Yeah, anyway, fucking humiliating, you know.

0:43:18.760 --> 0:43:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I reckon. Well, I reckon. That happens all the time.

0:43:21.160 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I reckon. There are so many people listening to this

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:25.279
<v Speaker 1>podcast right now that have had someone try and pull

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a thread out of their vagina.

0:43:27.200 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I would like to say, I think that this is

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>an uncommon and uncommon circumstance. If you, guys, do have

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:33.800
<v Speaker 2>an accial unfiltered, if you do have an embarrassing story,

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:35.399
<v Speaker 2>if something wild has happened to you in your life,

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:38.040
<v Speaker 2>slide on into the DMS. Put accidentally unfiltered at the top,

0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and maybe we will read it out next week. But

0:43:41.080 --> 0:43:42.600
<v Speaker 2>we are coming to the end of the episode, and

0:43:42.640 --> 0:43:44.239
<v Speaker 2>before we do, we wanted to tell you what is

0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:47.920
<v Speaker 2>happening on tomorrow's ep So, like we said, Wednesday is

0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:50.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be our interview Epps moving forward, and we

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:53.680
<v Speaker 2>have such a freaking awesome guess on tomorrow's episode. It's

0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:56.279
<v Speaker 2>someone who we've interviewed in the past and at the

0:43:56.320 --> 0:43:58.920
<v Speaker 2>time it was one of our most downloaded episodes over

0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the year. So Mark Manson. He is the author of

0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the subtle Art of not Giving a Fuck. It has

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 2>been maybe three years since we last spoke to him,

0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 2>and on this week's episode, he is making a comeback

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and we are unpacking all the things that are life related,

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:17.359
<v Speaker 2>relationship related, cheating related. We cover so much in this episode.

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:19.319
<v Speaker 2>But the thing I love the most about Mark is

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I would describe him as a bit of a modern

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 2>day philosopher. He is the self help guru for people

0:44:26.000 --> 0:44:29.680
<v Speaker 2>who absolutely hate self help, and the way in which

0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:32.800
<v Speaker 2>he speaks, the way in which he gives life advice,

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 2>it's very relatable and it's not condescending, and I think

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:37.719
<v Speaker 2>it's in a way that really takes into account the

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 2>fact that we all have our own junk and we

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 2>all show up to the world and to life very differently.

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I think he also calls a spade of spade,

0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and I like the fact that Mark doesn't just say

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:51.719
<v Speaker 1>things that are expected. I just find it so refreshing.

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I find him so insightful. And I absolutely love this chat.

0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I love this chat more than your original chat. So

0:44:56.600 --> 0:44:59.359
<v Speaker 1>that is dropping in your ears tomorrow. All right, let's

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:02.320
<v Speaker 1>get into secon now. We never finished a Tuesday episode

0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 1>without our sucking us week, our highlight and our low

0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:06.840
<v Speaker 1>light of the week that's passed. It's been four and

0:45:06.840 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a half weeks since we've seen you guys, or heard

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys, or been inside your ears. So I feel

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.719
<v Speaker 1>like there's been lots that's been happening. For me, not

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 1>so much, because my suck is that I spend all

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:19.600
<v Speaker 1>day every day in bed. Actually, I would say my

0:45:19.640 --> 0:45:23.720
<v Speaker 1>biggest suck would have been I've actually do you know what.

0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I've got two because it happens simultaneously. It's the sickness,

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:29.759
<v Speaker 2>which you guys already know, but it's also, oh my god,

0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it is stiff wish that would suck.

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:36.280
<v Speaker 1>This sucks.

0:45:36.360 --> 0:45:38.440
<v Speaker 2>But my other suck for the week is now, if

0:45:38.480 --> 0:45:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you guys listened pre break, you might remember that I

0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:45.360
<v Speaker 2>took Lola off the dummy the whole plan was, and

0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I remember saying, I am going to break her like

0:45:48.080 --> 0:45:50.839
<v Speaker 2>a BRUMBI that were my words. So I took her

0:45:50.840 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 2>off the dummy. The plan was, she was gonna come

0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:55.360
<v Speaker 2>off the dummy. We're going to like go through that period.

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:57.279
<v Speaker 2>We're going to move her into her sister's room, and

0:45:57.320 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 2>then Marley and Lala were going to share a bedroom.

0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:02.040
<v Speaker 2>And that was my grand plan because I have these

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I have these beautiful ideas that my two daughters are

0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:07.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna wake up in the morning and play with each

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:09.760
<v Speaker 2>other and love each other and love sharing a room. Anyway,

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.080
<v Speaker 2>so we took her off the dummy. That was a

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:14.160
<v Speaker 2>bit hairy for a while, but we kind of things

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:16.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of panned out okay, and we thought that we

0:46:16.400 --> 0:46:17.879
<v Speaker 2>were at a point where we could move her into

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the same room. So we did it. The first week,

0:46:20.200 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it was fine. The last two weeks, however, shits really

0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:26.800
<v Speaker 2>hit the fan. So they are in the same room now,

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:28.800
<v Speaker 2>but they're also in the same bed.

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Are the size of like a football.

0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:34.160
<v Speaker 2>They are, but they kick each other. They're kicking football,

0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:35.799
<v Speaker 2>so they wake each other up all through the night.

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Put one in the kennel.

0:46:37.040 --> 0:46:38.520
<v Speaker 2>So my suck is is that I thought I was

0:46:38.520 --> 0:46:40.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna break my child like a Brumbie, but she broke me.

0:46:41.080 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's how it always works with parenting.

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:44.520
<v Speaker 1>And so now they're just sleep in your bed and

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the absolutely give it up.

0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, am I sweet for the week. Firstly, my

0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:51.000
<v Speaker 2>biggest sweet is that we are back. I have enjoyed

0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:53.040
<v Speaker 2>having time off, but I have missed you guys.

0:46:53.080 --> 0:46:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I have missed the pod.

0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I have missed you brit even though I'm only seeing

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you through a screen. I can't fucking wait for you

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:00.399
<v Speaker 2>to get back here. I'm so happy that we're back

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:02.640
<v Speaker 2>and that we're back to normal programming. And let's see

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:05.640
<v Speaker 2>what twenty twenty four has in store. Well, wow, that

0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:07.719
<v Speaker 2>was like a speech you've signed off on, Martin Luther King.

0:47:09.400 --> 0:47:11.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what twenty four because let me tell you,

0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it is Mark like the King.

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:16.240
<v Speaker 2>This is not the year of health. That's what I've established.

0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Twenty twenty four is not the year of health.

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Low start. It is the year of health, because I mean,

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:22.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about this on another episode, but I

0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:24.399
<v Speaker 1>have dedicated this year to the year of health. Let's

0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about it maybe on Thursday. My suck would be

0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I guess this is the stuff right when people post

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:32.360
<v Speaker 1>only the highlights on their social media. My migraines have

0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>been next level. They've never been so bad in my life,

0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and you know in the Maldives that are actually really bad.

0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And there was one night one night, I was up

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:42.239
<v Speaker 1>the whole night vomiting my feet in the hot bath.

0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:44.239
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to do everything. I'd taken painkillers and

0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Ben stayed up the whole night with me, keeping my

0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:49.279
<v Speaker 1>hair out of the toilet and like rubbing my neck

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:51.280
<v Speaker 1>while I was in the bath, and he was really great.

0:47:51.360 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 1>But my migraines have been out of controlling. And maybe

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it's hormonal with like aging or post all my egg freezing.

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but my suck has been my migraine

0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to get that sorted as soon as

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 1>they get back to Australia. My sweet probably the same, Laura, like,

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:09.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm just frothing being back with you guys. I think

0:48:09.440 --> 0:48:11.839
<v Speaker 1>that this has been our life for so long, three

0:48:11.880 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>times a week for four years, that when you go

0:48:14.440 --> 0:48:16.640
<v Speaker 1>on holiday and you have a little break, you miss

0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:18.560
<v Speaker 1>your routine and you miss every day and you miss

0:48:18.560 --> 0:48:21.160
<v Speaker 1>speaking to each other, like miss seeing you Laura and Keisha,

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and I miss talking to you guys, so it's really

0:48:23.520 --> 0:48:25.120
<v Speaker 1>nice to be back and seeing you and having a

0:48:25.200 --> 0:48:27.760
<v Speaker 1>laugh again. And I feel like I haven't seen friends

0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 1>in a long time because I've been over here just

0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:32.799
<v Speaker 1>with Ben and the neighbors, like the psychic neighbors next

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:35.520
<v Speaker 1>door I like in Eugene. They're my only friends here.

0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Obviously Sheridan's in Edinburgh, an hour away, but it's nice

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to have that connection again, even though it's through the screen.

0:48:41.080 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just pumped me back. And also I'm excited

0:48:44.080 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to see what twenty twenty four bricks the Year of health.

0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:49.879
