0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't feel like anything, but I know that I

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 3>need to eat. I need to eat something bland but

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>a bit sweet. I'd probably do like a roller chocolate

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.280

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:41.879

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.960
<v Speaker 4>surprised at how people date. I'm honestly a little bit scared.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 4>When I come out of my bubble of being hectic

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.680

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>Still, you're a bit behind.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little bit behind.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 4>So let me know what it's like on your end,

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.040

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:37.479
<v Speaker 2>is grim?

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 4>It's looking really Oh, We've got to change up the narrative.

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 4>I feel like if we all collect you were like,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 4>you know what, it can get better. It's gonna get better.

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Then we start doing that place eboing totally agreed, like

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 4>nothing changes, but our mindset changes, and then so we

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 4>think it's better. I think we have a we have

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 4>a responsibility to change the narrative.

0:01:58.320 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll start. I told you it slutty spring.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Can't you can't use that term?

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:03.480

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:07.360

<v Speaker 4>Me, phone down, listening ears on, speaking voices on We're

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 4>on live radio. Get it together, King, I'm back, I'm back.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 4>What's the best dating tip you've ever received? After Domen't

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>think too hard about it.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I know it. My nana told me when I was thirteen. Okay,

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you said it to my mum and my dad. You

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 2>are worth the price that you put on your head.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:38.799
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>People will pay whatever price you put in your head.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>So if you make yourself expensive, people pay the price.

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>So how do you make yourself expensive?

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I only date or fornicate with people that I think

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 3>are worthy of me.

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Cloud Chaser, got it? Say no more.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not giving myself away. Willy Nilly?

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who you trying to convince this? I heard you

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the first time.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 4>It's not often there are good dating tips on the internet.

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 4>They all just fall into the same really specific category

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 4>of people who've nevidated.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Before pretinding they know what dating is.

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Like.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Leat me out of it, babe, I'm a hot commodity.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>But I heard on the other day.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 4>I was like this, chickers onto something because we all

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 4>know it. But you have to remember, as someone who

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>is charming, do you relate. Yeah, the eyes are glazing

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 4>over someone who is charming entertaining. The thing I need

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 4>to stop doing is entertaining myself for the both of us.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 4>You crack too many jokes. You think that you're both

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>having a good time. No, you're the entertainer entertaining right.

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 4>This dating tip this person gave was to not answer

0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 4>unasked questions, and by that you'll often find you might

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 4>go on a date and you'll say, oh, so what's

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 4>your favorite thing to do?

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, what are your hobbies?

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 4>And they'll be like, oh, you know, I really like snowboarding,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 4>and I'm really into martial arts, and I really like

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 4>brewing my own beer.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I really love it.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Cool.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 4>You might jump in and say I love doing this

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and I like this. Now see how long it takes

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 4>them to be genuinely interested in figuring out what you

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 4>like to do. Wow, So people say one of two things.

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Don't keep asking questions, like once you asked a few,

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 4>just let it sit and see what happened.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 4>Others say, just don't answer questions and have not been

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.479
<v Speaker 4>asked to you explicitly. I don't think it works for everyone,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>but if you find yourself just being like the date comedian,

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 4>the date jester, the date entertainer. You gotta, you know,

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 4>sit down, you break your back from carrying.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 3>I think this works for two reasons. I've done this

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>on a date before. I realized they weren't asking me

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 3>any questions, so I stopped asking them back.

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I paid for the bill, what because I

0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>just need to get out of there?

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell this around the potty bruv?

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm giving away too much on this podcast. I just

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 3>you know those people that just have a story for

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 3>every story you.

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to.

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Say I've lived a long life. It's rather that I've

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 3>mind every experience. Yeah, I'm clutching his straws over here.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Nah.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 3>I've been in this situation before where I realized someone

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>on a date wasn't asking me any questions, and I thought,

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 3>you know what, I know, I'm not I know this

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 3>will go nowhere, so I'm just going to do an experiment.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Didn't ask them any more questions got awkward. I had

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>to make an excuse to get out of there. And

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>when things get awkward in a date situation, I often

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 3>just pay you to get out of there.

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 4>How did you do it? So you you summoned the wager.

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I was just like, Oh, I reckon, I don't reckon.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to have another drink. Should we go?

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh that sounds like a proposition from here though, Oh

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 4>that sounds like, oh should we go?

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh wink wink. Maybe unless you didn't say it like.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>That, I probably didn't. Again, no game, Yeah, I reckon,

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I reckon. If you're doing this technique, they're not for you.

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 3>M m. But also, I think this is a good

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 3>time for self reflection. If you're asking questions and you're

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 3>not asked and they're not like asking you it back,

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 3>maybe you're asking leading questions so you can give your answer.

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Science people will ask your question and I'll rush through

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 3>the answer because I know they just want to tell

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 3>me their answer.

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so you could be doing that.

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That's an example of that.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 3>I'll ask you, oh, have you women's last time you

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 3>ate a lolly? You say, oh, I ate one, and

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I'll jump over and say, oh my god, I had

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 3>the best lolly yesterday.

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah about the lolly. See what I mean?

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I get that a lot.

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I've got to be checked both ways.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a tricky one.

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 4>Too, because also I feel like not everybody is made

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 4>out to be the same type of conversation list. There

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 4>are different roles you can play in a conversation, and

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 4>not everybody is the one who's leading with a story

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 4>or who's leading the trajectory of it, you know what

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying. Like, some people just naturally will share when

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 4>invited to share, We'll speak when invited to be, we'll

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 4>speak when spoken to.

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>That kind of vibe.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 4>And I also think that traditional dating works a very

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 4>specific archetype of person Like if you are super like, extroverted, charming,

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 4>outgoing la la la la la, the dating landscape is

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 4>made for you, and so naturally the way you operate

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 4>becomes the standard.

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 4>So if you can't be quick, witty, charming, fast thinking

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 4>on whatever, and everyone's like, oh, then like you're a

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 4>weird person to date or like you're not interested, it'd

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 4>be hard for those people.

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever not lay the conversation?

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 4>But I think it doesn't suit me. Didn't I tell

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 4>you when I was a couple months ago. When I

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 4>say a couple, I mean like the start of October,

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 4>I was like, yeah, I'm in my passive princess era.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna be the.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I was this thinking, you know, maybe you aren't as

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 3>self aware as you really.

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to try, I told him, doing exposure therapy, right,

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 4>So I'm trying new things. What is life like when

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm not deciding what's happening. I'm not leading, I'm like,

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 4>you're cute whatever. I'm just gonna try it out.

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>See what the paces of everybody else? What pace are

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>we moving at base?

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 4>That was ten days of trauma.

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I just wait around for a text to come, and

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>then when it comes, I gotta be I gotta be

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>casual with it. I gotta be docile. I couldn't do it.

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.679
<v Speaker 1>My chest was tied. I gotta say how I feel.

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 4>But it was a good exercise because I'm just I'm

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 4>just built this way. I'm just built to be a

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 4>little bit grading, very bold, very specific, and so I

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 4>could imagine like in this instance, I'm a question asker,

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm a data minor whatever. But also I'm creating an

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 4>environment where it's like, this is what we're doing. We're

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 4>having covers that we're asking questions. If I also think

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 4>how people respond to you is the environment that you've

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 4>created as well? So if someone's not asking you questions.

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Number one, they're not interested. You're not made it a

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 4>safe place to share. That's a big one.

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>That's a big and they scared all you like.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 4>You just not like creating an environment where they're like, oh,

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 4>this is gonna land. Well, I feel comfortable sharing something

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 4>with you because I know that you'll make it comfortble

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 4>for me to do so takes you know, what is it?

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Two to Tango's a minefield?

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Really it's a minefield, brav I will say, I'm a princess.

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I always feel be and that's that. Flex and frooms.

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 4>On Halloween, the thirty first of October, I received a

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 4>voice memo in my Instagram dms entitled hi Flex, am

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>I the asshole incoming and a fifty nine second voice memo.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 4>I said, ooh, thank you, and did not listen to

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 4>it because I knew I wanted to share it with you,

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 4>and you can't fake a first impression. If I listened

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 4>to it and then come back and listen to this,

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 4>I'd be stonefaced. Think about my face as I'm learning

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 4>through observing myself being filmed, It's all there. My resting

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 4>bitch face is so activated. My brows are constantly furrowed.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 4>You could read it on me. So let's listen to

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 4>it together, shall we?

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 5>Hay chicks, So I have an am I the asshole parent? Addition,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 5>today is Halloween, and there was no notification from my

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 5>son's kinder as to whether it was a dress update

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 5>or anything like that. But as I arrived, I saw

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 5>fifteen tiny little humans dressed in different Halloween costumes and

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 5>my son was the only one not dressed in a costume.

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't know whether Halloween has become more of a

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 5>thing now that it's twenty twenty two and American culture

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 5>has just infiltrated Australia. But I don't ever remember dressing

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 5>up like that for at school as a child, but

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 5>it seems like it's super popular now. So I just

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 5>want to know, like, can I get a vibe check?

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Am I the asshole? I didn't realize that.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh, and then she did go on to say, I

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 4>didn't realize it cut off.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you want me to rerecord it, I can.

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 4>And I said, babes, don't worry about it, like we

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 4>can get the GISTs. I assumed we could get the

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:16.959
<v Speaker 4>gist and we can't.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>This is a lot.

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:23.359
<v Speaker 3>This is cross continental, cross cultural commentary coming your way.

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 4>And it's a big one because if we thought, you know,

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 4>a couple years ago, America had infiltrated our culture and

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 4>suppressed it so heavily that all we do is think

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 4>in americanisms, it's gotten way worse now.

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 2>Depending away you sing, maybe way better, oh.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or just way more prevalent. Now, that's what we're doing.

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 4>So coming up, we are going to discuss what we

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 4>think about it pro against Halloween.

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not even about that. We're here for the little kidlets,

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>all right, who wants to be left out as a

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>little kidd lit And of course think about mum feels

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>be like, damn I didn't pull through like that? How

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>was I meant to know? We gotta notification.

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it's a fun little novelty, but especially

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 4>in the context of school, primary school or high school,

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 4>k kindergarten, it's you go in your uniform and then

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 4>you do a little you do a little lolly exchange

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 4>or something. Maybe your teacher puts up some gaul some

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 4>screen masks, but that is it. You can't just rock

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 4>up in your playing clothes to school to kinder It's

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 4>not a thing and if it was gonna be a thing.

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>It is customary, especially.

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 4>In little kid at schools these days, everything is so virtual, technological.

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They're always in a little updates, little updates.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 4>You would say, f YI, if you want to participate,

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.319
<v Speaker 4>we're doing costumes. If not, don't worry about it, because

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 4>the thing about it is like it's not about like

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 4>personal preference, It's about the optics of little kids. There

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 4>is nothing worse than being left out as a little kid,

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 4>because little kids don't realize how vicious they are when

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 4>they're not around the norm. I could only imagine, why

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 4>are you wearing a costume? What are you dressed up as?

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 4>That stuff is traumatizing And then how do you go

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 4>and explain to your kid, Oh, you know, I didn't notification?

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.199
<v Speaker 1>What is a notification? Notication?

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, speak is all the kids and things like

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 4>mum didn't get it together or Mum didn't want to

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 4>be bullied or whatever it is.

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It sucks far out.

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I really feel that nothing like getting left out. Did

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 3>you ever have any dress up days at school?

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't recall.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 4>I feel like we just had like what we called

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 4>mufty days where you could wear plain clothes.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Why they called Mufty days.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>What that means is that worth googling?

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 3>But our in Victoria is called casual clothes day muff,

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 3>which is far more sensical.

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Mufty days.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 4>Wikipedia says it's used in Australia, Britain and New Zealand,

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 4>day on which school pupils are allowed to wear casual clothes,

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 4>which would usually be against the school ume's policy.

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>But what does mufty mean? It's an Indian term.

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh but On twenty sixth of July twenty twenty, Pedessian

0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 4>wrote an article that said, turns out the origin of

0:13:58.440 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 4>the term mufty day is kind of problematic.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna leave it right.

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna leave it right there. Rip America is unfortunately

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 4>taking over. We need to do not even our due diligence.

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.559
<v Speaker 4>We need to work really, really hard to Australianize our

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Australian experience because so much of what we take is

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 4>from other cultures and we're not really figuring out what

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 4>is our own Halloween For example, that was notoriously quote

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 4>unquote an American thing to do. And then we start

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 4>watching one too many American shows, one too many American movies,

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 4>one too many American American songs, and all of a sudden,

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 4>we're all like, what's happening for Halloween? Yeah, next thing,

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, we're doing Thanksgiving.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that will never happen.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm already doing a dinner party. You're joking, not for Thanksgiving.

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 4>But I'm like, what a great opportunity to get the

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 4>friends together.

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 3>So if you get in a little turkey or tur ducan,

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 3>when it's a bird inside a turkey inside of pork.

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>That's really scary.

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 3>I will say I've always been for Halloween. I think

0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I was an early adopter of Halloween. I was doing

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 3>trigger treating when there was literally no kids are there.

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm running around matt Wave leaving chick or treat hoping

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 3>they do tricks so I can do a performance. And

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 3>once I went to this house and obviously nobody freaking lollies,

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 3>So you just gave me a block of cabri and

<v Speaker 3>Such a feral kid, Oh for sure, And I say

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 3>go feral. I was staying in Cujie when it was new,

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 3>when it was Halloween. This year, kids everywhere, kids away,

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 3>one chick up the road was having a like a

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 3>street party for to meet new people. And I said

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 3>to her, Oh my god, like that suit. That must

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>be so nice having kids because you can do Halloween

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 3>like I don't have kids.

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, oh, this is flex and frooms

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 4>on kit.

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 3>FLEXI is a big hugger, self identified hugger. She's running

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 3>around the office giving people hugs. Don't worry if you're

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 3>not a hugger anyway.

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Non consensual hugging. I'm so sorry. Maybe I am the problem.

0:15:58.960 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I am.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 2>That's why. That's where you're going to end.

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me.

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:04.640

<v Speaker 2>She's literally on air?

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 3>This is on paper. The paper trail has begun. I

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 3>was with on wiki how, one of my favorite websites.

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 3>I go to what are the wiki hows of the day?

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 3>These are the most popular articles. I find one and

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 3>I think this has flex ratanola. It's what's sixteen of

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 3>the most common hugs? Mean, let's get right into it.

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Number one is the classic hug. What's a warm intimate

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 3>hug between friends? It's commonly you just the hugger wraps

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 3>the arms around each other with the chest touching and

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 3>their heads side by side, A great impraising hug for

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 3>a few seconds.

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah cool, And.

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>We use this when we be sure.

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Typically given received this hug when you say goodbye or

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 3>say hello, and someone who has romantic feelings for you

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 3>may squeeze a little tighter or hug for a little longer.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Next hug, please, and when you know, you know, I

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 3>had one of these hugs this week.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Again, we're on here, boys.

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Wait a second, were you doing the squeezing or they squeeze?

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>So mutual squeeze you know? Okay, you know it's on

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>when you're huge. Little squeeze at the end. And when

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 2>you come away, look at each other's eyes. Were on here?

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Eat on tonight anyway, So that's in the back of

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.480
<v Speaker 3>the mind of the graft mind. Number two to bear hug.

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 3>It's a long, tight hug that signals intimacy.

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:31.159
<v Speaker 1>My favorite.

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 3>But be careful, don't squeeze too tightly with this one, boys,

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 3>all right, the hug at the waist. This is giving

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 3>me tingerly feelings. A hug around the waist is romantic

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 3>and it means they trust you.

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.240

<v Speaker 2>Bit of a nuzzle. Number six. The quick hug when

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 2>you're oh yeah, hey, yeah.

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.800

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>armed hug, terrifying.

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 2>That's a classic. The padding hug. It's usually one done

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>between bros.

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.719

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 2>The triangle hug. It's cold, awkward and no one's okay.

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Since when your chest touches but you're you're growing and

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:22.920
<v Speaker 4>hip stay far away from each other.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Again, that's a hug done out of obligation. Yeah, oh,

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 3>this is a bad one. The unreciprocated hug. One person

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 3>is standing limp like a fift A couple of those.

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.320

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I know that you are absolutely gagging for a heart.

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.959
<v Speaker 4>Fact a bit of a hot tip I read on Reddit.

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 4>If you get yourself to be really happy and excited

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.120
<v Speaker 4>to see other people, they will react the same way

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 4>to you. Doesn't always happen the first time, but it

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 4>will definitely happen the next time. Time and time again.

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 4>This has always worked. What do we call this? A

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 4>bit of psychological manipulation, psychological warfare. All the most charming

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.919
<v Speaker 4>people do it. So jump on board.

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>So you're essentially you know how humans mirror each other?

0:19:58.000 --> 0:19:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Is that what's happening?

0:19:59.080 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.679
<v Speaker 4>But I guess you're you're like you're placing your mirroring

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 4>in a happy way, or you're like you're wanting supposed

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 4>to reflect you right, like.

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this person's really stoked. I'm stoked.

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, try that.

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:16.119

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:27.160
