0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Happy Friday.

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 5>I always get that extra kick on a Friday. You

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 5>know when you feel like.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 4>You're close to the finish line, that's because you're leaving

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 4>here to go on a boat.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>It's true, we are producer. Grace is coming with me.

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.599
<v Speaker 2>I was also luckily invited, but I had had much

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>more important plans.

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I got a date at the RSL Club, Grace and

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>higher on the boat.

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 5>We're going around the harbor.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>We've got a couple of friends. It's going to be

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>really nice.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 5>But Laura's like, I'm sorry, I'm busy.

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what is too busy for the boat? She's

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>like the local Ari, I've got dinner with the family

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and the kids. Can't let them down. Babe, you don't

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>do the raffle?

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 5>Aren't you? You love an RSL raffle? Yes?

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I am. I can't give up the chance to win

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 2>myself from meat raffle. It is actually my favorite thing.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Winning a meat raffle is so deeply satisfying. I love it,

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and I buy an obscene amount of raffle tickets that

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>they could have just gone and bought a meat tray.

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>You got to be in it to win it, don't.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>They say that's.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 5>How they make their money because they bank on people

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 5>like you. Wis the adrenaline? What if am I going

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 5>to win? Pull my number on the LG OFC.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 4>God.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I really hope Laura doesn't go on that boat party

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and she comes to the RSL tonight.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Who's gonna buy raffles? Your single handedly keeping the local aflow?

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely love it. Well, I'm doing my beer anyway.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 2>We've got a very big show for you guys today.

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Also a bit of an important discussion Jamila jimil You

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 2>guys might know who she is.

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>She's a very famous actress.

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>She's just recently come out with a bit of a

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>bombshell around why she doesn't want to be a mum

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's a you know, it's a really I think,

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a very interesting take and it's something we don't hear

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>very often from women who have way more choice these

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>days about whether they want to be at the RSL

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>club with their kids or not.

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I really loved it. Maybe you don't want kids,

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 5>you want to be on a boat. Who know, are

0:01:58.560 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 5>you Laura or Brittany?

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Now something I wanted to talk about, and I know

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>you have some feelings about it too.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Brit Jamila Jamil.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 2>If you don't know who she is, she was once

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>upon a time a DJ, a TV presenter, and she's

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>also an actress who was in that TV show The

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Good Place.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, she actually blew up.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Now she's a big advocate for like a lot of

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 4>different issues around but she's like.

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>She's an advocate for she's one of those nor she's

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>one of those people that doesn't really have.

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 5>A role anymore. She does everything.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's she's also a very big voice in a

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>sort of feminist movement. So she's recently come out and

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>spoken about whether or not she does or doesn't want

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 2>to have children. Now spoiler, she doesn't want to have kids,

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and she's made that decision of her own accord, not

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>because she can't and not because she's unwilling. She just

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>really has arrived at the destination where she's realized that

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 2>being a mum isn't for her.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:52.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I really.

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 4>Loved it because I feel like when this conversation does happen,

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 4>which it's becoming more frequent, but it's still not the

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 4>societal norm. But and it does happen, there's usually a

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 4>bit of bum fluff either side, like people want to

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 4>soften it, they feel like they need to really explain

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 4>themselves why, and like compliment sandwich.

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 5>But she just really owned it.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I want to read to you what she had

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to say, And there's a little bit to this. She wrote,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't give a shit about marriage, and I don't

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 2>want children.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I just really really don't.

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the best decisions I've ever made

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>is to not become a mother.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't think i'd be bad at it. I just

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do it.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 5>I actually love it so much.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm beyond not compelled. I have absolutely no interest. I'm

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>about as interested in that as I am rock climbing,

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think they both sound really hard and dangerous.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>But she goes on to say how I think it's

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>better for society if I end my bloodline here and

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>close all the doors behind me.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love it.

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>The reason why I quite enjoyed how absolutely unapologetic she is.

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>And I say, this is someone who is a mum,

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and I love being a mum and I love the

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>role at having my kid's life and what they mean

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>to me. But I think a lot of times we

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>look at women who have made the decision to you know,

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 2>childless by choice, that decision, and we kind of think,

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>you're going to change your mind, Like that's the fear mongering.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>That goes on for a lot of reddit. Yeah, you're

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>going to regret it. That's the fear mongering that goes

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>on for a lot of people.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Or on the flip side of that, like we paint

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 2>this picture that if you don't want to have kids,

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>that you must be an innately selfish person. And I

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've had loads of conversations in our podcast

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Life Uncut about this, brit But there is such a

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>powerful movement of women who have made the decision that

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 2>they don't want to have kids, and they're not selfish,

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're not going to turn around and regret it.

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>They just have agency to choose a life that they

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>really want for themselves.

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 5>I actually want to challenge that, Well.

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not surprising to me that motherhood isn't for everyone.

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>It's really hard.

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 6>I want to challenge that.

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 4>I think that deciding not to have kids sometimes is

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 4>completely selfish decision, But that doesn't mean it's bad.

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 6>You can.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 4>Like, part of the reason that I've always been on

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 4>the fence is, and I openly say, it's because I

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 4>still feel selfish with my time. When you decide to

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 4>have a you are giving up every second of your day.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 4>There is nothing wrong with that, but it is a

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 4>big decision, and I often think, am I ready to

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 4>give up my time to the level that I would

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 4>need to to become a mother? Like that is a

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 4>really big thing. But being selfish doesn't always have to

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 4>have these negative connotations.

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>But I see it on the flip side of that.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I think if you have enough self awareness to know

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that you don't want to be a mum, that you

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't enjoy that role. I don't think it's selfish because

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 2>what it means is is that you're not going to

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 2>be in the position where you have to pretend and

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>show up and you know, be sort of this support

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>person for this tiny little human in a role that

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>you actually resent and never wanted to do in the

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>first place.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>You know what I.

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 4>Really envy, and it's because I still now in this moment,

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 4>I struggle with this so much. I am on this

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>perpetually swinging pendulum between wanting kids and not wanting kids.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 4>I envy people that know either way, like Jamila does,

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>like she's so adamant, and I wish I felt that

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 4>same as people that know that all they've ever wanted

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 4>to do is be a mum.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 5>I envy that.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 4>And my pendulum is constantly swinging, and I know I'm

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 4>running out of time, and in my late thirties, I

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 4>have eggs and embryos on ice. But I still need

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.239
<v Speaker 4>to actively make that decision. And it's really really hard

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 4>to make because one day I wake up and I'm like,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 4>whilst I'm not ready, I absolutely can't imagine my life

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 4>without that, Like I whilst I might not want it

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 4>right now, when I look to my future, which is

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 4>what I try to do all the time, I'm like, cool,

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 4>you might not be ready now, think of your future.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 5>What do you see? What do you want?

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 4>And I always try and visualize it. There's always a

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 4>family in it. But I can't fathom having in the family.

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>When I'm fifty, I'll be ready, but I'm just not.

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And it's a really like it upsets me all

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 6>the time.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 4>If you've been following my story or like the podcast

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, I always talk about this because I think

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>it's really important. We talk about people that want kids,

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 4>so we talk about the people that don't want kids.

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 4>We often don't talk about the people that are stuck

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 4>on the swing like I am. I don't know which

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 4>stop to get off at.

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm on the.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 4>Bust around around about and I don't know where to

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 4>get off, and that's what keeps me up at night

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 4>is making the decision. I feel like I do need

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 4>to just bite the bullet, But I just I really

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 4>envy Jamila and how cash she can just say like, no,

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 4>it's not for me.

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>So well, I mean, this might be very serendipitous timing

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 2>because you also are about to share a story about

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>a pregnancy test and yodbye, so stick around.

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>For that.

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 5>If you're just joining us.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 4>We were just talking about Jamila Jamil not wanting kids,

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 4>and we're talking about my swinging pendulum of if I

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 4>want kids or not, because I'm constantly going between the

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 4>two depends on the day of the week I wake

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>up and how I'm feeling.

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>It also depends on your ovulation.

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I reckon, I reckon when you're ovulating, not you specifically,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>but women in general. Whenever I'm ovulating, I'm like, yeah,

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>third baby, And then after it, I'm like, no.

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Well that's a terrible idea.

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you fluctuate more than me every day, but every

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 4>week you've already got two kids.

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Put it on record here, I do want a third

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>so when that happens, guys, don't be shocked.

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh it feels weird talking about my sex life to

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 5>you guys, But.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Why you do it all the time anyway.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but know what I'm about to say, because I

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 4>haven't really said this.

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 5>Actually, I don't really been really inteted on the podcast.

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Whilst I'm confused about wanting children, my fertility, if you

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 4>haven't followed along, my fertility is really bad.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 6>So I have embryos and I have eggs on eyes.

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 4>And it looks like I'm going to have to do

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 4>IVF if that works. So I say that because Ben

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 4>and I have been trying and I've never really said

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 4>that out loud, and it's hard to say I've been trying,

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 4>when I also in the same sentence say I don't

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 4>know if I want it to work, like it's a

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 4>very because I do know I want it to work.

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 5>And the reason I know this is sounding.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 4>Convoluted, so because I know that really like one day

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 4>that I know that I want the child, and because

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 4>I know it's going to be so hard, of course,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to do it naturally and not go through IVF.

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm yeah, thirty eight this year, so we're sort of like, look,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 4>the chances of it happen naturally are so slim that

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 4>we'll just try our luck.

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 5>And we have not been lucky obviously since yeap.

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 4>So we've been doing this for a very long time,

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 4>like every time we're together basically. So that being said,

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 4>we were just this is just a stranger situation.

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>So I Ben and.

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I were just going to du buy for Christmas for

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 4>the break the holiday season and coming up to years.

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I had obviously like ovulated before, and I was like,

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 4>do you know what I want to have a drink

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 4>on years.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 5>I'll do a pregnancy test.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 6>We'll check before I I'm being very sensible.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yea, So I did a pregnancy test and it

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 4>came back negative.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 5>Did another one to be sure negative.

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 4>You feel a level of disappointment, but at the moment

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.199
<v Speaker 4>they're always negative, so it's fun.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 5>It's just like another negative one.

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 4>So I'd put it in the bin in the bathroom,

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 4>like the toilet bin, along with the urine cup.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 5>When about my day we left the hotel, we went

0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 5>to the beach whatever, and we came.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 4>Back and the pregnancy test had been taken out of

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.839
<v Speaker 4>the bin and the urine cup was taking out of

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 4>the bin and it was just put like up on

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 4>the console, the urine cup as well.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like the whole test was. And I was like, Ben,

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 5>that's the question.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.559
<v Speaker 6>Did you take the pregnancy test out of the bin?

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 5>And he was like what?

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, yeah, that's weird. You're trying to

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.839
<v Speaker 4>keep it for like a momentum. He was like, why

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 4>would I do that? And I said, well, I'm sure

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>I put it in the bin.

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You're like, cause I'm going home soon when I have

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a little keepsake of me, I get that urine.

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 4>But I was like, I gas lipped myself and I

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 4>was like, yeah, maybe I didn't put it in the bin.

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 5>So I put it back in the bin. We went

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 5>out again, and I came back and it was back

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 5>out of the bin.

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 3>This happened like three times. They were coming into the

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>room and taking the pregnancy test and the urine cup

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 3>out of the bin and just putting it on display.

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, guys, are you doubling down that

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 3>it's negative?

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I don't understand.

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they were like, this isn't the plastic spin that's

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the recycling bin over there, No.

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>This is not the human waste. Why would you do?

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 4>But I'm genuinely confused. I'm like, what is happening?

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Why is that? Why the cleaner sorting the bit? I

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 5>I didn't even know that that was a thing. I

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 5>didn't know that went through to me.

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a thing, but it is they're

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do that.

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 6>Well, three times the pregnancy test was laid out. Explain

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 6>that to me.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Is it a case that you're like, because you're not

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>married yet, is it.

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 5>Like you shouldn't be ornoicating.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>For just having babies out of wedlock and dubai? I

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Is it like is it a cult?

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Maybe let's not bring any more attention to it. Am

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 5>I going to prison.

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Probably not because you're not in to buy anymore. But

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>what if I want to go back. I'm sure you're

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>put a flag on my cot. I'm sure they've done nothing.

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't say on your passport like had sex out

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>of wedlock.

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that that's going to be on your passport.

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Did you get to the bottom of it? Did you

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>have any resolution to this, or like you just to

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a public bin.

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 5>I was like, I had to put it in my bag.

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 4>I had to put it in my handbag, and I

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 4>was like, I guess I'll go take it somewhere into

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 4>the street. I'm like, I don't know, I don't know.

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 4>It's not happened to me before, and I couldn't understand it.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I watched a really funny TikTok the other day and

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it was like, you know, when you're an adult, it's

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>when your friends stopped doing pregnancy test with you and

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 2>they start doing it with their significant partners.

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's the benchmark.

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 5>That's pretty true.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Everyone just looked at me like they never did a

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 2>pregnancy test with their friends.

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>How many have you done? A few? Luckily I just

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>have two kids. Surprising even to me. Wow, there you go.

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Wow, it's the pick up with Britt Harkley and Laura Byrn.

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know Valentine's Day, it's just around the corner everyone.

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 5>It really creeps up on you, doesn't it.

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Valentine's Day? I reckon, My husband's going to be still away.

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Potentially he'll still be in the African jungle by then,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>hopefully if he makes it through to the finals.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, hey, speaking to husband, I'm just gonna steguay for

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 4>a second take over. I just forgot that it is

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 4>my fiance's birthday today. Oh, like, I'm just having this

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 4>realization right now. But in my defense, he doesn't know yet.

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 4>He hasn't woken up. He lives on the other side

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 4>of the world.

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>You've done nothing for him, You have done nothing.

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, he doesn't know that until he listens.

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what it just he moved country.

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Two days ago. It's really slipped my mind.

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you would be feelthy if he forgot your birthday.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>He would never live it down. You were angry at

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 1>him that he didn't buy you.

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>A present for your birthday when you both had already

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>mutually agreed and spoken about the fact that you weren't

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 2>buying presents.

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because when you say that as a woman, it

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 4>doesn't mean anything.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Diabolically. Okay, we'll talk about this later. Okay, continue.

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>So Matt, he's currently in this celebrity jungle right and

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>before he left, he had a really big sit down

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 2>with the girls. We spoke about in the show when

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>he came on as well. He had this little symbol

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 2>that he was going to do, just nothing crazy. He's

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>just going to hold his little love heart hands up

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>and do like a love heart symbol to the camera

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 2>so that the girls could see him do that symbol

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 2>and so that they would know that he's thinking of them.

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 5>Super cute.

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, in theory if he did it, so.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Would have been cute.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>So we talked about it so much, and he had

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>this like plan to do the symbol. And I mean

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 2>there's a few times if you've watched Time a Celebrity,

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 2>you would know there's a few times where it's actually live,

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 2>like it flicks to live in the campsite and they

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of go around and you get the camera on

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>each participant for a short period of time.

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 4>And you yell out to the camera. Usually I'm saying

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 4>this because I did it last year.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 5>But you're usually like love your mom.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 4>And dad, or you like you throw the sign up,

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 4>or you're like hey mad miss you like you're chaotic.

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Totally, so that would be the opportunity Formatt to do it. Now,

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>he has not done it as frequently as what I

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>would have thought that he was going to. I think

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I've seen him do it once so far. That's it,

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and I've watched every episode.

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 6>Once does he say anything? Is he like, hey, lol

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 6>it what?

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>But okay, I don't know I was doing that.

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know, And to be fair, no one

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>else on this season really is. So it seems like

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 2>it was a really big thing on your season that

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>everyone was doing their little hand symbols and stuff.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>No one's really doing it on this season.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Only problem is is that Marley, who has been watching

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 2>some of the episodes, has also picked up on it,

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and so yesterday she got a bit upset. She was like, Mommy,

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe Daddy's not missing me because he's not doing the.

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 6>Heart's matt one job, buddy.

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's out there eating pigs anuses. He's doing

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a really good job. If you can eat a.

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 5>Pigs anus, you can throw a love heart to your

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 5>kids at home.

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>In Matt's defense, I know that he would be so

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>unbelievably hungry, and when he is hungry.

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>He does not function, he doesn't love.

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>He's the hungriest man that just you can't have a

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>conversation with him.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>When he's hungry.

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.040
<v Speaker 2>He's like processing skills, go down the toilet when he's hungry,

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Like that man needs fuel and he needs food.

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 4>I have a question speak I know now well, I

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 4>know the kids have really funny concepts of time. So

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Matt's ink gone two weeks.

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 2>He's been gone now for no longer. He's been gone

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>for almost three weeks. He's yeah, it's been two weeks

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>because he left a little bit earlier than the show

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>actually started filming. So it's now been two weeks and

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>five days he's been gone.

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, so it's time going fast or slow for the kids.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Do they feel like it was just a couple of

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 4>days or do they feel like he's been gone forever?

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>No, it's look, I know, I make a lot of

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>jokes about it. It's incredibly incredibly hard, and we had

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a really good system at the start with the kids,

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and like everything was really efficient. I even joked about

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it on the show that like, things just get done

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 2>more efficiently when you're the only one doing it, and

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>that was the case for a little while. But both

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 2>girls miss him terribly now and yeah, and it's hard

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 2>on them because it's different when you travel or you

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>go away for work and you can FaceTime and they

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>can see you in real time. I think it's the

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>lack of contact with him. And even though they know

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>he's on a TV show. Marley, especially who's five, she

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>understands the show and she understands he's away doing a show,

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and she's really really proud of him, and she wants

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 2>to tell all of friends that Daddy's on I'm a celebrity.

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 2>But she also gets really upset because she's like, but

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>if Daddy misses me, why doesn't he just come home?

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>And why isn't he here? It is funny they have

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>so Matt does a podcast called Two Doting Dads and

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>they created these little figurines of them, so like him

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>and his co hosts have plush toys when they released

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 2>a book last year, and Marley sleeps with the plush

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 2>toy of Daddy everything.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, that's so cute. She's like, why can dad eat

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.879
<v Speaker 1>a butt? But he can't come home. Daddy would rather

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.920
<v Speaker 1>be eating an anus than be home with me right now.

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>It's terrible, but yeah, look anyway, guys, just your remind

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I give you ten votes Daddy Jay. Keep him in there,

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 1>keep him in the jungle.

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the first elimination is happening this Sunday, So

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 2>get on ten play and vote and yeah, fingers crossed
