WEBVTT - FULLSHOW! Is Mitch a man-child? 😅

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Laura and come on in. Hello ladies, Thursday afternoon. Greetings

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>your Mitch. Did you cycle him here?

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen you wear so much micro and active

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>in your entire life.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going for a walk after the show, and I

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to have to get changed after.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that wearing active wear is an appropriate

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 3>attire for coming to work?

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 5>Where are we at with the whole active wear as well?

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Expect I'm just in the black T shirt and I

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>mean five inchin.

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 3>It's not the black T shirt, Mitch, it's the very

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>short short.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Stand up Mitch.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 5>You don't need to stand up.

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>We saw them very short.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 3>As your hot girl walks are getting more intense, your

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>shorts are getting shorter.

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 5>I've noticed there's a direct correlation between the two.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my legs growing. Perhaps it's okay you wear all time.

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if I'm not at work doing this, and sometimes

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>even doing this, I'm one hundred percent always in active.

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Where can I just say nothing worse than someone that

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.039
<v Speaker 1>wears active where to work with their like it's smelly

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>active wear. Oh all right, that's enough.

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 5>We have a brilliant I've had enough of this.

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.640

<v Speaker 2>beck I.

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 4>Beg hi, guys, I'm so exciting to be talking to you.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Please me, I've got a.

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 4>Call I had. Oh it's the worst, excuse my name voice,

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 4>but I've got a question for you. So it's do

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I change my last name? Basically, my partner and I

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 4>we've been together for or five years and we got

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 4>engaged finally at the start of this year, and our

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 4>wedding is not too fast around the corner. It's in February.

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 4>I had told my partner that I would absolutely change

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 4>my last name and take his. However, as we're getting

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 4>closer to the wedding, I'm getting cold feet and I'm

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 4>feeling really nervous about.

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 5>It, about the wedding or the name.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 4>More the name change because femininely child, my dad, his

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 4>sibling is. He only has a sister. So my situation

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 4>is if I take his name, like yeah, yeah, basically

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 4>it ends with me.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 3>So what have you spoken to your partner about not

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 3>wanting to take his name or that you are feeling

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>like you're having a bit of a change of heart.

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, no, not yet, because I think he'll be a

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 4>bit upset because I always said I would, and I

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 4>think he won't understand why I would change my name.

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>I didn't make a joke the other day about hyphenating,

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 4>and he was like, wait what, And I think no.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I think a hyphen's a happy medium. Look, the whole

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>taking the man's name is very archaic. It always has been.

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just what society expects of us. No

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>one even knows why we do it anymore. It's just

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>what we've been told to do, so we do it.

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I think trying to approach the hyphen if nothing else,

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>so you don't have to completely change.

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 3>But what are you going to do in the instance

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 3>if you guys have kids, so say you do keep

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 3>your name and then you have children together, what last

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 3>name would you give the kids?

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 4>This is this is the other thing I don't I

0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 4>would assume they just have to take his name.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's the thing. Why why do you have to assume? Also,

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>this is what I hate about this whole situation. Why

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>does this have to happen? I understand the patriarchy, We're

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to destroy it in the three pm pickup,

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>but I just feel you should. What do you want

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to do, Beck, Do you want to keep your surname

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>or not? If it ends with you, does that upset you?

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 4>It kind of does. And I feel like it's so

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 4>nice that I have the same nickname as my dad

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 4>because our surname's foodles. What's fun to be called goodie?

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Then keep it? Then My answer is keep it because

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>if that's how you feel, keep it. And you have

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to have a conversation with your husband.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>It's so hard because what if you know, you have

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 3>had these conversations all the way, you are obviously engaged now,

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 3>and then you worry that when you do speak to

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 3>him that he's going to react badly to it, like.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's not the right partner, even totally.

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's very easy to say though, Like you know,

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 3>and beck is actually living there. So if you do

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 3>broach this conversation with him, do you feel that he

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 3>will just be disappointed? Do you think he's going to

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 3>want to call the wedding off? Like, what do you

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.839
<v Speaker 3>think will be his level of frustration?

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 4>I think I don't think he would call the wedding off.

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I do think he would be really disappointed, and I

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 4>think I get the feeling he would take it quite personally.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know your fiance, but I would

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>think if he's going to pull the pin on the

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>wedding over you broaching this, then it's.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Probably perfectly honest. He needs to, and I'm sure he's

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a lovely person back, but he needs to understand the

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>nuance of why you why it's important to you. I'm

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>going to end up marrying a man one day, We're

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>going to keep our names. Means nothing to us, and

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that's only because we have the privilege of being two men.

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>He just needs to understand what is actually at play here.

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>And I think regardless of whether or not you choose

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to keep your name, he needs to understand why it's

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>important if you want.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 3>To beck speaking from experience, am I got married to

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 3>my husband last year. His last name's Johnson, and I've

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>remained a burn and both of our little girls have

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 3>the last name Johnson Matt. When we originally got together,

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.359
<v Speaker 3>he very much said that he wanted us to have

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 3>the same name in the household. He wanted me to

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 3>take his name, and I sat down and had an

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 3>honest conversation with him about how I really felt attached

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>to my name and I really wanted to keep it,

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>and I was so surprised by how okay he was

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 3>with it once he realized how important it was to

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 3>me and he never pushed back, so.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 5>You may be pleasantly surprised.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 3>But I think if you're just doing it because you

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 3>don't want to disappoint him, but it doesn't feel authentic

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 3>for you, then I think it's a really important conversation

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 3>that you should have.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh thank you, but actually makes me feel so much better.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to tell him, Laura.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 5>Said, Yeah, did you tell him, Laura Burn?

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 2>But sorry in your situation, Laura, Matt, your husband didn't

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>change his name to Burn, So if you want all

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the same name as a family, that's where it comes

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to the issue.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't mind. It's like we have kids. We obviously

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 4>want to have kids together, and he would want the

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 4>kids to have his name. It's just more maybe my name.

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and that was a sacrifice we made as well.

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, oh no, that's really good to know that. Don't

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 4>so much better.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>If the relationship falls apart, just blame Laura Burn. Yes,

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know she's the one who pushed you.

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 3>In the end, Laura Johnson, she doesn't exist's saying so much.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you will get you on for an as gun cut.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 5>Coming up.

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I want to tell you guys about a very look

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 3>got a little bit heated a fight that I had

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 3>with my lovely husband Maddie J. I may have doubled down.

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, coming up, All right, that's next on the pickup.

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>It is the pickup. Welcome Britt, Laura and Mitch here

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks to chemist Warehouse heading today great sievings every day.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Do you, guys, ever have a fight with your partner

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 3>and then you know that you're wrong, Like halfway through

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 3>the fight, somewhere along the way, you're like, I've made

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>a grave error here.

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 5>But then you just double down because you're stubborn.

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>It's the shame. You can't double down once you've picked

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>a fight. You just have to. You got a hold on.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was the only way to fight. That's what

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 5>you do.

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Look to put it into perspective, my beautiful husband Matt

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 3>and I we don't fight very often, but we bicker.

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 3>We bicker like an old married couple, and I think

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 3>it's what keeps the spark alive.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, you are as a young married couple.

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I know, but you know we had kids before we

0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 5>got married.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 3>So like, we're well in the trenches, right, that's what

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>you do when you're in the trenches.

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>You're bicker. You're bicker, you're bicker.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, recently, our youngest Lola, she's two years old. She's

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 3>had a horrendous ear infection, and we're both running on

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 3>very little sleep. We are both tiged, and we are

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>spread way too thin. Anyway, one night, her ear drum perforated. So,

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 3>like I think some parents will know this. It's like

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 3>when it's like they peek in pain, they're screaming, and

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 3>then you walk in in the morning and all this

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 3>gunk is just oozing out of their ears. Right, yuck,

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 3>it's so yuck, But it also is just this moment

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 3>of relief for them as well. So Lola, her ear

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>drum are perforated, except I didn't know that that's what

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 3>it was, or this gunk could come out of her ear.

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, well, she had swimming lessons in

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 3>the morning, right, which, if your kids got an ear infection,

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 3>you probably shouldn't send them to swimming lessons.

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>No, definitely not if anyone as an ear infection, don't get.

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 3>But also swimming lessons are expensive and her older sister

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 3>was going, and so we were like, look, just go.

0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>She can kind of just get a legs wet.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I was like, just just she can just play,

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 3>like get her body wet, but don't like let her

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 3>put her head under, you know, like don't let her

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 3>get anything above the sort of the shoulders wet. But

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 3>she's got a swim instructor. She could have just floated along.

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Her swim instructor could have bobbed her up and down

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 3>a few times. Anyway, So that's what I said to Matt.

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I was like, she can go, but don't let her

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.439
<v Speaker 3>get her ear wet.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 5>And so she'd been assimming lessons for half an hour.

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I gave him a call and I was like, how's

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 3>it all going, and he was like, oh, yeah, put

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 3>a cap on, YadA YadA, yah, she's fine. I was like,

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>what do you mean she's fine? And he was like, oh,

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 3>she's she's okay, like you know, she's got a cap on.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 3>And now I felt like he wasn't taking the ear

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 3>infection seriously enough, and I said she could go deaf

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 3>was very dramatic, and then he got angry at me. Anyway,

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 3>back and forth for a little bit The bickering escalated,

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 3>and then he said, what's something he should never say

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 3>on a call?

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 5>He said, cheers pow? Oh them fight and were kids hard?

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Doesn't it cheese?

0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 3>It's as like, all right, ledge cheers poal. So of

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 3>course I got angry and it escalated and I said.

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 5>How dare you call me pal? I am not your pal? Anyway.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 3>It went on for a while and maybe I overreacted,

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 3>and halfway through the overreacting, he said, are you sure

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.599
<v Speaker 3>you don't have your period?

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, pal?

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh, oh, he doesn't want to

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 3>have a bigger he wants a fire.

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Ready.

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, how dare and anyone knows, don't

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 3>say this to someone. Don't ever say it to war

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 3>who's angry? I was like, how dare you minimize my feelings?

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.319
<v Speaker 3>I was like, this is not because I am emotional.

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I, you are wrong. Anyway, this it escalated.

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I was yelling maybe I overreacted, and he was like

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about this, and I was like, I reckon,

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 3>and he doubled down and he once again said, I reckon,

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 3>you've got your period, so.

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 5>Rude, rude.

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dating dating women? And I know that you

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 1>don't say that to women.

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't say that, even if you think that might

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 3>be the case, you don't say that. And so of

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 3>course I told him he was completely wrong and what

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 3>he'd done had made me so upset. I even sent

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 3>him a text message afterwards, and I said to him

0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.320
<v Speaker 3>that I feel like he's been less loving lately and

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 3>he needs to really think about his behavior and he

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 3>should call me and apologize.

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>At this point, I'm just wondering where they are.

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Who knows where she has a head under the water.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>The entire assuming lesson. I was upset, and I'd send

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 3>a few back and forth messages. Then I stood up

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.319
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, Ah, there it is.

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 5>I think I just got my period.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>You didn't tell him that though you take that to

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the grave, you never admit.

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't tell him. You can't tell him. He'll win that

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>argument forever.

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 3>No, it's day four now, and I have to just

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 3>tell him I've got a headache for seven days.

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny.

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 3>I hate that he was right, and I really overreacted.

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 3>And honey, if you're listening to this, I'm sorry that

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm such a walking cliche.

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Got to give him the credit it's like a basset hand.

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:54.839
<v Speaker 1>He knew like clockwork.

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 5>Sniff it out me. Oh that's not it's just the

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 5>once every month. I'm a peper.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm a bit crazy and he knows it. And look, yeah,

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I really do hate that.

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm a walking cloichee Oh god.

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Oh, that's cute. They're getting ready there

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>go to order any breach.

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.040

<v Speaker 3>Bad?

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Wasn't that the summary? That was a summary? And so

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 5>Michelle's like, what do you want for dinner?

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Mitch?

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were going to or eats and like

0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 2>have a movie night, and Mitch started to rattle off

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>this really long list. He wanted his mom to go

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and get from the grocery store. Then he rattled off

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:34.959
<v Speaker 2>a breakfast list salmon, multi grain, low carb bread and

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 2>poached eggs.

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 5>Then he said, if they have any of like this

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 5>caviari and everything he likes that.

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.719
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not Wait, brit So was this just a

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.079
<v Speaker 3>shopping order. Or is your mom doing the cooking?

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Bitch?

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 2>No, like she cooks every meal, Laura, every meal? Which, Turia,

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>do you even know how to adult?

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Listen here they have said, we want to help you

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 1>get back on your feet. So how we will help

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 1>is we would just cook your meals for you. No,

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>so my mum and my dad cooked my dinners and

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>some of my breakfast and maybe a lunch if they're free.

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, who is doing and snacks? Who is doing? Like

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>you're washing and you're tidying of your person.

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 1>You are in on this intervention. My mom does all

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my washing.

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 5>No, she doesn't know I live at home. She does

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 5>in taxes to.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 2>She does, Mitch, you're never gonna get into a relationship

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 2>because you live like a charge.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>She just itemized some of the receipts that I printed,

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and she scanned them and put them in a word doc. Listen. No, no, no, no, no,

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's actually easier for my mum to do mine.

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you why. Because no, it is because

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it'd be so confusing if if I said, I also

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>need the washing machine. So I just put it in

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the basket with everyone, and she does it all in

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>one go Mitch.

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 3>This is literally weaponized in confidence to try and turn

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 3>around and say, oh, it's easier for mom to do

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 3>it because she's already doing it.

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not easier, it's more work. She enjoys it.

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 5>This is no one I'm always washing My mom.

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Works two days a week, and God bless it, she

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>loves looking after the family. That she's the best mum

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the whole world, and she has offered to do this.

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I lived alone for years. I can adult. I may

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>have forgotten certain key aspects, but I'm getting to help mom.

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>She gets up before she goes to work, and you

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>don't start work until two o'clock because we do the afternoon.

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:11.479
<v Speaker 1>Huh.

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 2>And you make her cook you breakfast before she goes

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 2>to work, a hot breakfast, mind you, I heard what

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 2>you said. You don't have to be at workd o.

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 1>She meal preps on a Sunday night and she freezes.

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 5>I wonder how many people are living like you.

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, the laundry is the worst part, I think, because

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that's like I'll go through. I've been through a lot

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>of clothes in my hot Go walk Era. I'm sweating too.

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, you've set this whole thing up. Rihanna's here

0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>on six five. What's what was your mum doing for you? Rihanna?

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 4>My mom is ironing for me.

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:42.320

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 4>at home too.

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny for you.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Is it just because the volume of ironing is too high?

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Or is it because you don't ever want to iron?

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 3>So your mom's like, fine, give it to me.

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 4>Come on, that's her and she loves it, so I

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>like a walking group. I love these girls. And what

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 1>does your mum do for you?

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 4>My mum folds my washing every Friday?

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.480

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 5>Do you know what I've realized.

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I think the intervention needs to be with my mom

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 3>because she doesn't do enough. I agree, that's where we

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 3>need to turn this around to give Kimbo a call next.

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.240
