Speaker 1: I can't even intro this right now because I'm too pumped. Guys.
Speaker 1: You have to still say hi guys, and welcome to
Speaker 1: another episode of Life Uncut. No, I can't this time, guys.
Speaker 1: I have big news. I have really, really big news,
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to share it. We have just
Speaker 1: hit one point one million downloads and we have been
Speaker 1: waiting for this day and we're so excited, so so pumped, guys.
Speaker 1: Thank you to every single person who is downloaded an
Speaker 1: episode over the last eight months. I promise you it
Speaker 1: was not my dad and your mum downloading it one
Speaker 1: million times actually that you've said that. No, but seriously,
Speaker 1: for every single person who is downloaded or listen to
Speaker 1: an e, for every single person who has subscribed or
Speaker 1: left a review like we are so immensely grateful. We
Speaker 1: never ever would have thought that we would be hitting
Speaker 1: or one point one million downloads at this point in time.
Speaker 1: It's just unreal. We absolutely love that you know the
Speaker 1: advice that we're giving some of you all are listening
Speaker 1: to it, and it's so special that the content we're
Speaker 1: putting out there makes a difference to you, and we
Speaker 1: know it does because you let us know and it
Speaker 1: just means the world to us. I actually am in
Speaker 1: disbelief and I'm so that anyone would listen to Yeah.
Speaker 1: I Yes. When Laura and I started this, we were
Speaker 1: just like this, two random friends that had this random idea,
Speaker 1: and we're like, let's start a podcast as a hobby.
Speaker 1: Like we actually just did this as a hobby. Whether
Speaker 1: people listened or not, we were like, maybe someone will listen,
Speaker 1: maybe someone will laugh, maybe someone will get advice from this.
Speaker 1: But to have over a million of you download now
Speaker 1: and listen to this, we just humbled. We're stoked, we're chuffed,
Speaker 1: We're in disbelief. We're all the fields. I have all
Speaker 1: the feels. I just want to thank every single one
Speaker 1: of you for oh for just tuning in and sharing
Speaker 1: the love and supporting us on this journey, because I
Speaker 1: feel like we're all supporting each other. We're here to
Speaker 1: support you. You guys are supporting us. You're writing in
Speaker 1: and saying that we're helping you through some bad times.
Speaker 1: We're helping you through breakups. We're just helping you feel good.
Speaker 1: You're having a laugh at our expense, And to us,
Speaker 1: that's what matters. If we can change one person's life,
Speaker 1: we leave here feeling really happy, and we talk to
Speaker 1: each other about it. We tell each other the messages
Speaker 1: we receive, those of you that write in and say
Speaker 1: you've really helped me through this moment. We share that
Speaker 1: with each other because that's why we're here. We have
Speaker 1: been really, really open with our stories and our relationships
Speaker 1: and things that have happened in the past and the present,
Speaker 1: and it is kind of a big deal for us
Speaker 1: to be so vulnerable and so open talking about our
Speaker 1: life experiences. And we're really appret that you, guys have
Speaker 1: never been judging of us. You have been such incredible
Speaker 1: cheerleaders for us. You have been such incredible support, and
Speaker 1: that's what makes us want to keep continuing creating this
Speaker 1: content for you and keep on putting our episodes every week,
Speaker 1: and we will keep doing that right until a very
Speaker 1: bitter end. Guys, I think Laura and I sometimes forget.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm speaking on your behalf, Laura,
Speaker 1: but we can go on then. No, But we get
Speaker 1: in here and we talk to each other, and we
Speaker 1: talk to each other like we're friends. Sometimes the way
Speaker 1: we talk to each other is like we forget that
Speaker 1: a million of you are going to download this. So
Speaker 1: we're really open with each other. We're very exposing of ourselves.
Speaker 1: We're very vulnerable, and I think sometimes we forget that.
Speaker 1: So many of you are going to listen, and I
Speaker 1: want you, guys to know that whilst you're running to
Speaker 1: us saying that we've helped and we're helping you through
Speaker 1: a bad time, I want you to know that you
Speaker 1: have helped us through a lot of bad times too.
Speaker 1: So if you do have a friend that you think
Speaker 1: might benefit from one of our episodes, maybe they're going
Speaker 1: through a breakup, maybe they're having a really hard time,
Speaker 1: maybe they could benefit from one of our Ask gun
Speaker 1: Cut episodes, or just maybe they need a laugh and
Speaker 1: some virtual girlfriends in this weird time of self isolation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you have anyone that you know will benefit or
Speaker 1: just wants to chuckle, direct them to our podcast. Direct
Speaker 1: them to our Instagram page at Life Uncut podcast because
Speaker 1: they can just go there for a laugh. There is
Speaker 1: nothing serious on that page. But guys, one million downloads, like,
Speaker 1: but my mind is blown. But now we will get
Speaker 1: into the episode. I know that in every episode in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, I've been talking about how
Speaker 1: I'm getting remote recording equipment so that we can record
Speaker 1: these podcasts separately. Well I did it. I got the
Speaker 1: equipment and then we got everything set up and it
Speaker 1: was perfect, and we were pumped, We're excited, and I
Speaker 1: stuck the micro USB into the back of the podcasting
Speaker 1: equipment and it got fucking stuck, like proper, real good
Speaker 1: stuck stuck. So then we had to mad dash rush
Speaker 1: into the podcasting student where we normally record, and here
Speaker 1: we are the end. I mean, that was a quick story.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of frustration and a lot of like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, how could this happen to us? There
Speaker 1: was a lot of alan keys and trying to fit
Speaker 1: them into the podcaster, and like, look, things have just
Speaker 1: gone a bit rogue today. But I'm very happy that
Speaker 1: we've made it here. I'm always so amazed. I'm so
Speaker 1: so amazed at every single week we get thrown some
Speaker 1: sort of adversity about how we're going to actually get
Speaker 1: this episode to air, and every single week we managed
Speaker 1: to do it. It's a miracle. It's a Christmas miracle, guys,
Speaker 1: it actually is. If there's one thing we're good at,
Speaker 1: just one, it's overcoming adversity. It's what's been happening. It's
Speaker 1: a hard question now, isn't it, because nothing actually happens.
Speaker 1: Oh speak for yourself. Well, actually I saw you had
Speaker 1: a drunk party at home. You haven't. I I have
Speaker 1: had a two day hangover, which after the last episode
Speaker 1: of me talking about how much I've been drinking in
Speaker 1: isolation probably doesn't bode very well. But soaday night, if
Speaker 1: anyone's been on Instagram and saw my Instagram stories, there's
Speaker 1: this DJ called Hot Dub time Machine, and he's the
Speaker 1: freaking best. He does like a number one hit from
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty and counts back through the years, or counts
Speaker 1: forward through the years to twenty twenty, counts somewhere, he
Speaker 1: just counts, and so he plays the best song from
Speaker 1: each year as like a countdown mash up. And he
Speaker 1: did this amazing live DJ set which we streamed to
Speaker 1: our TV, and we had a few margaritas that we
Speaker 1: got from our local Mexican place take away margaritas, and
Speaker 1: just had a bloody great time. So I called facetimed
Speaker 1: Laura at probably one pm the next day. She answers,
Speaker 1: looking worse for wear on the phone, and I'm like, Babe,
Speaker 1: are you all right. She's like, Babe, I'm real hung
Speaker 1: and Mum's gone wild. She goes, Mum's gone wild, and
Speaker 1: she goes, oh, hang on, can I call you back?
Speaker 1: My Mexican just arrived. And I was like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's bad. The worst thing about being hungover in isolation
Speaker 1: is that you cannot hire a babysitter. Normally, if there
Speaker 1: was a day where I didn't feel like I was
Speaker 1: equipped to parent, I would call a babysitter to come
Speaker 1: and take because, you know what, I think that's the
Speaker 1: responsible thing to do, having a second pair of hands.
Speaker 1: But no, I just had to man up. Actually that's
Speaker 1: a lie. I didn't really do anything. Matt did it.
Speaker 1: But it was still a really tough day. And now
Speaker 1: I've got a bloody micro usb stuck in a fucking
Speaker 1: podcasting equipment at home, and look, coronavirus is taking over
Speaker 1: the whole country. So it's been a bit of a
Speaker 1: challenging week. But once again we're here and we've got
Speaker 1: this episode to you. Thank you for giving me the
Speaker 1: first three minutes to complain. So I actually have discovered
Speaker 1: a new game this week that I didn't know existed,
Speaker 1: But you can play it online. Guys. This is not sponsored,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I'm behind the times. Have
Speaker 1: you heard of Jackbox TV? No? What is it? Oh
Speaker 1: my god? It's brilliant, but I think you need three
Speaker 1: plays minimum. You have to like purchase it online but
Speaker 1: it's not expensive. And then it links to your TV
Speaker 1: and all you do is type into your phone brow
Speaker 1: jackbox TV and everyone in everyone can link up and play.
Speaker 1: So it's an online game that's like who's the faker?
Speaker 1: So they ask all these questions like you know those
Speaker 1: murder mystery games, like who's the murderer? And you have
Speaker 1: to figure it out. It's like that kind of stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: for me, it's just it's killed hours of time. So
Speaker 1: I just it's my recommend. I'm really salting it though.
Speaker 1: What does it? What do you do? How does it work?
Speaker 1: You log into it and it comes up on your TV.
Speaker 1: Now everyone in the room. It has to be three
Speaker 1: people everybody, So you have to have housemates or brothers
Speaker 1: or sisters or mums or dads or very smart dogs
Speaker 1: for this one. Correctly but correctly, that is correctly. Listen,
Speaker 1: let me do it. I'm just trying to have a
Speaker 1: really good recommendation. I just can't get it out. Long
Speaker 1: story short, It's like you're typing this code so that
Speaker 1: everyone everyone types it in so that jack Box TV
Speaker 1: knows that you your phone is playing this one game,
Speaker 1: so you linked to the TV. Then questions will come
Speaker 1: up on your phone. So like one person that says
Speaker 1: is the fake, they're pretending they know what's going on,
Speaker 1: but they have no idea. But they've got to try
Speaker 1: and fit in because they don't want to be caught.
Speaker 1: The other people in the room know what's going on.
Speaker 1: Just say I'm the faker to the other three people.
Speaker 1: It's going to say who in this room is most
Speaker 1: likely to kill someone? And then it goes three two
Speaker 1: one and you have to point to someone. Now I
Speaker 1: don't know who to point at because I don't know
Speaker 1: the actual question, but I have to pretend like I do.
Speaker 1: So you have to try and read other people and
Speaker 1: point to someone. You think if everyone's pointing to one person,
Speaker 1: because it might be like who's got the biggest dig
Speaker 1: in that room? And I knew my point to me,
Speaker 1: and if I pointed to you, everyone's like, well, she
Speaker 1: didn't know the question, she's the faker. How do you know, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen your for China anyway, Guys,
Speaker 1: just look what a wild Saturday night it was in
Speaker 1: Brittany's house, Hey, playing Jack in a Box with their housemates, Chuck.
Speaker 2: In a box.
Speaker 1: I'm down two bottles of red. Don't you worry or guys?
Speaker 1: Last night was Mass Finale. The Mass finale. I feel
Speaker 1: like Fella a little bit short this year. So Laura
Speaker 1: made me watch it because I've sporadically watched random episodes
Speaker 1: throughout the series. When you've made me been very very
Speaker 1: vocal that this is not her show, but this is
Speaker 1: not her jam, but you know what, I was open
Speaker 1: to it. I tried to let it grow on me,
Speaker 1: and I can confirm it is still not my show.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to test it. I I just can't
Speaker 1: stand it. I can't. I don't know for anybody else
Speaker 1: who watched the show. But this season I really feel
Speaker 1: like I think that last season it was like they
Speaker 1: set the bar so high. It was so good. Yes,
Speaker 1: the drama was manufactured, but it felt a little bit
Speaker 1: more organic, whereas like this year, it really felt like
Speaker 1: the whole storyline was very scripted in like the producers
Speaker 1: were creating scenarios or setting up different environments to try
Speaker 1: and get very specific, manufactured outcomes. It just all felt
Speaker 1: a lot faker. I thought this season overproduced. Now I
Speaker 1: think feel like maybe Australians have had enough of that
Speaker 1: show for a while, do you Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we've had enough of Maps in particular, but I
Speaker 1: think that people and the audience are becoming so acutely
Speaker 1: aware of what is what's been done. That's because so
Speaker 1: many people are breaking the rules and coming like this
Speaker 1: whole show has broke. Everyone in it has broken the
Speaker 1: rules and come out and are outing what's going on.
Speaker 1: So there's no mystery or like romanticism anymore. Everybody just
Speaker 1: knows that it's manipulated. Just on that. So Michelle, who
Speaker 1: is one of the she was one of the wives,
Speaker 1: like one of the couples that made her to the end,
Speaker 1: She has come out recently on a YouTube channel which
Speaker 1: is called get Real Entertainment and totally exposed just how
Speaker 1: crazy manipulative the production is. We all know that they
Speaker 1: don't have to stay until they both say leave or stay.
Speaker 1: But what she's explained in this little segment is that
Speaker 1: the producers make you so fearful that if you leave
Speaker 1: outside of like the parameters that they've created for you.
Speaker 1: So if you leave at another time than when both
Speaker 1: people on the couch have written leave, then they will
Speaker 1: make your life hell. And they say like they hold
Speaker 1: it over you like a threat of well, if you
Speaker 1: don't do what we say, then you'll get a bad edit.
Speaker 1: So I feel like people who are naive to how
Speaker 1: these things play out, they kind of are at the
Speaker 1: mercy of production a little bit because they don't want
Speaker 1: their character to be assassinated on TV. It's something that
Speaker 1: you really do need to think about. And it's something
Speaker 1: that I have said to people in the past when
Speaker 1: they've messaged me saying should I do Reality TV? Should
Speaker 1: I do it? I loved it great for me. I
Speaker 1: had a really great experience and I loved my journey.
Speaker 1: But I will I will always say to them, you
Speaker 1: need to be prepared to be portrayed as the worst
Speaker 1: human in the world, because it could happen, like you
Speaker 1: need to be prepared for. You need to have a
Speaker 1: thick skin in case that happens, because you don't you
Speaker 1: don't know what edit you'll get at all. You just
Speaker 1: don't know. It's a risk. Maybe I'm being naive or
Speaker 1: maybe I'm being super biased in this, but I don't
Speaker 1: think the Bachelor manufactures storylines in the same way that
Speaker 1: Math seems to. Absolutely not not at all. The Bachelor
Speaker 1: might just like exaggerate something slightly or but all the
Speaker 1: storylines are pretty organic on the Bachelor. They're not organic
Speaker 1: on marriative person. Yeah, and I think that with the batch.
Speaker 1: Obviously we are a little bit biased because neither of
Speaker 1: us have done and Married at First Site episode. But
Speaker 1: when people have come out I find from Bachelors series
Speaker 1: and they've been really angry with their edit, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think that things are just amplified. I
Speaker 1: think if someone behaved badly, then it amplifies their bad behavior.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they've ever tried to make someone
Speaker 1: who is totally lovely and good look bad or vice versa.
Speaker 1: There are some creative things that they do with the edit,
Speaker 1: but I really do think that if people come across
Speaker 1: as as an asshole on the show, it's because they
Speaker 1: behave like an asshole behind the scenes. Well, they've come
Speaker 1: out and said that this cast from Married at First
Speaker 1: Site this year is the most badly behaved cast that
Speaker 1: they've ever had. And I was saying this to you earlier,
Speaker 1: but I think what happens, and you know it happened
Speaker 1: in our season with Bachelor as well. But when you
Speaker 1: take away all of someone's rights and you treat them
Speaker 1: like their children, then they behave like children. Like I
Speaker 1: even know with the girls from our season and myself included, like,
Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent guilty. We behaved so badly.
Speaker 1: So what something? What did you put something? You guys did?
Speaker 1: When we were filming our season of the show, they
Speaker 1: had really strict rules around alcohol, so we weren't allowed
Speaker 1: to drink alcohol unless it was on a cocktail party
Speaker 1: night or unless it was on a group date and
Speaker 1: it was specifically given to us. And then they're really
Speaker 1: good with it being like two an hour and things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, like they were big glasses. I mean
Speaker 1: it can still you can still get two bottles too, bottles.
Speaker 1: You can still get pretty jazzy at a cocktail party
Speaker 1: if you want to. So. But but they had definitely
Speaker 1: restricted out our alcohol intake because they won. They didn't
Speaker 1: want us being hungover filming, and also they wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that we were, you know, not doing anything
Speaker 1: that was too antisocial or putting ourselves in harm's way.
Speaker 1: But I guess when you are in your thirties, and
Speaker 1: someone says, because like we wouldn't film over the weekend, right,
Speaker 1: so on the weekends we were free to do whatever
Speaker 1: we wanted, but we couldn't have any alcohol. And like,
Speaker 1: when you're in your thirties or your late twenties, you're like,
Speaker 1: I want to have a nice glass of wine with
Speaker 1: my dinner. And if I want that, then I should
Speaker 1: be able to have that because I'm I'm an adult.
Speaker 1: I'm a freaking adult. So instead of being a freaking adult,
Speaker 1: we behaved like children and we broke in to the
Speaker 1: room that they had locked and barricaded off for cocktail parties.
Speaker 1: We broke into that and then stoles malcohol and went
Speaker 1: had a party down on the tennis court. That makes
Speaker 1: so much sense to me because our alcohol room, which
Speaker 1: obviously my series was the year following Laura's series. Our
Speaker 1: alcohol room, it was like a chastity belt. That fridge
Speaker 1: it had like it had like five chains around it
Speaker 1: with these huge locks, Like there was no way we
Speaker 1: were getting into that fridge because we tried. My opinion
Speaker 1: of participants' retaliation and like, pushing back against production is
Speaker 1: kind of if you treat someone like a child, then
Speaker 1: they're going to behave like a child. So if you
Speaker 1: take away all their rights, then they're like, well, fuck you,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do whatever I want anyway. So I
Speaker 1: think that each season the contestants are pushing back more
Speaker 1: and pushing back more, but it's going to ruin the show.
Speaker 1: You just reminded me of something like. So the Bachelor's
Speaker 1: filmed over three months, and I and Sophie Cass and
Speaker 1: myself we were all so close the whole show, but
Speaker 1: we were really really good with not getting drunk at
Speaker 1: cocktail parties because you just I would just make the
Speaker 1: decision that I didn't want to put myself in a
Speaker 1: situation that I was gonna look like an idiot, that
Speaker 1: I was gonna say something dumb, do something dumb, tumble
Speaker 1: down some stairs, whatever it may be. You're like, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna embarrass myself on national TV. So soph Cass
Speaker 1: and I all were like that we'd have a few drinks,
Speaker 1: but we never got drunk in the three months, and
Speaker 1: then it was our last cocktail party that we were together.
Speaker 1: So it was just that it was just us there
Speaker 1: and we were like nothing bad can happen now, which
Speaker 1: is just where the only ones left, and we got wasted,
Speaker 1: like we were the cameramen, like it was so funny.
Speaker 1: The cameraman couldn't do anything. We were like right trying
Speaker 1: to ride their cameras like horses, were like gidding up
Speaker 1: and they came upstairs. They're like, you, girls, I've given
Speaker 1: us no content for an hour. They're like, no, we
Speaker 1: need the drama. You need to fight, and we just
Speaker 1: knew it was our last time together. We were all friends,
Speaker 1: and it was just like I don't know what they
Speaker 1: got from that episode, but I guess with Marts the season,
Speaker 1: I just am a bit off it, and I know
Speaker 1: that that doesn't make for very interesting Like sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: that I didn't come to you with a better conclusion
Speaker 1: on the whole thing, but I don't. I know that
Speaker 1: they get mass ratings, and I know that it's such
Speaker 1: a love show and I love to hate the show,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I do feel like it
Speaker 1: wasn't as impactful, it wasn't as powerful, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: as entertaining as what past seasons have been because I
Speaker 1: really feel like the storylines are so heavily manufactured now
Speaker 1: the only people I believed in was Liz, Lizzie, Elizabeth
Speaker 1: whatever they call on Yes, but even Liz, and maybe
Speaker 1: because you didn't watch last season, she is a completely
Speaker 1: different person to last season. Well she probably knows how
Speaker 1: it works now, so but like not even I mean,
Speaker 1: like her personality is absolute chalk and cheese from last
Speaker 1: season really completely different, and so I found it difficult
Speaker 1: to warm to her as a character as like I'm
Speaker 1: going to say, like as a character on the TV show,
Speaker 1: Like I know she's a real person, but as a character,
Speaker 1: because I was so heavily invested in the last season,
Speaker 1: I was like, who is this impost? She didn't eat
Speaker 1: even come across with the same mannerisms or the same
Speaker 1: She spoke differently, she behaved differently, Everything about her persona
Speaker 1: was so different, which makes me think, did she just
Speaker 1: know how to work the work the camera now or
Speaker 1: did she know how to work the production or did
Speaker 1: she get a bad edit last did she get a
Speaker 1: bad edit? Like who is the real Lizzy? That? Then?
Speaker 1: I don't know. The only other thing that gives me
Speaker 1: hope is that Jules had just come out as pregnant
Speaker 1: jewels from last year, so there worked. They went on
Speaker 1: the season, fell in love, and now they're having a baby,
Speaker 1: so there is hope. Fault married at first sight. Oh
Speaker 1: they having a baby. Babies, It's really really exciting. And
Speaker 1: also Laura from my season of Bachelor, forgot what show
Speaker 1: I was on. She just got married. I know, I
Speaker 1: told you, well I'm telling everyone else she did. She
Speaker 1: got married but like super small wedding with no one there,
Speaker 1: didn't even wear a white dress, just like just obviously
Speaker 1: was in love and wanted to do it. Do you
Speaker 1: remember from my season the fire Twelling girl, that's a Laura.
Speaker 1: She she was engaged and her wedding fell during this
Speaker 1: whole crazy time where you can only have five people
Speaker 1: at your wedding and whole social distancing stuff. And do
Speaker 1: you know what I love? I love that she went
Speaker 1: through with it and she had her wedding now a
Speaker 1: really really small, beautiful little marriage that in itself is
Speaker 1: just such a beautiful thing because it shows how much
Speaker 1: it's about the relationship and how it's not about having
Speaker 1: a wedding to impress people for magazines or for media.
Speaker 1: It's just something that they did for themselves, and that's
Speaker 1: so special. Absolutely. Also, Bindi Irwin did the same thing,
Speaker 1: same thing. There were like four people there, so Bindy's
Speaker 1: Bindy married her now husband Chandler. Obviously, just such about
Speaker 1: love because there were five people there. Mind you, It's
Speaker 1: been on the cover of every magazine and it's on
Speaker 1: every site now. But they did it because they love
Speaker 1: each other. And I think that that's really beautiful. Actually,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something. I just remembered it
Speaker 1: last week when we left the podcast studio. I need
Speaker 1: you to wind back. Last week we recorded and then
Speaker 1: we left in different cars because social distancing. Laura sped
Speaker 1: off in front of me. But we both live across
Speaker 1: the road from each other, so we're gonna end up
Speaker 1: at the same destination. We take the same route. She
Speaker 1: speeds ahead of me, and then I think that I
Speaker 1: see her like one hundred feets ahead of me, going
Speaker 1: back towards Bond Dive in like three lanes. So I
Speaker 1: speed up. I'm not speeding, speed up. She was speeding.
Speaker 1: I swear on my life this was you in this car.
Speaker 1: I put my hand out, I wind the window down.
Speaker 1: I put my hand out with my finger up. You
Speaker 1: flicked me off, and then I stuck out my tongue
Speaker 1: as if I was like cloud. I was like, nah,
Speaker 1: like you know stuff you like like I was trying
Speaker 1: to act like a gangster. I looked like the meanest,
Speaker 1: nastiest person. Well manster sticks their tongue out, Britte, I
Speaker 1: was like, and then the moment, so you poked your
Speaker 1: tongue out like a gangster, like a mean, nasty gangster
Speaker 1: with your tongue and poker the guys. I really wish
Speaker 1: you could see the face that she's making right now.
Speaker 1: But I have this my hand. My arm was straight
Speaker 1: out the window. I was leaning across like with this
Speaker 1: mean look on my face with my finger out like this.
Speaker 1: And then you, who I thought was you, looked at
Speaker 1: me and right next to the car, and it was
Speaker 1: some innocent lady I was looking at and she looked
Speaker 1: at me and was like and then I didn't even
Speaker 1: know what to do. I just went sorry, I'm I
Speaker 1: was like sorry, and then just like sped off.
Speaker 2: I thought, she doesn't need.
Speaker 1: This abuse from a random girl on the road. Imagine
Speaker 1: if she recognized you. I did. I'm glad I didn't
Speaker 1: get anywhere. I felt horrible, because I just thought it'd
Speaker 1: be funny if you looked over and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a perfect little segue into our
Speaker 1: accidentally unfiltered brit have you got me? And accidentally unfiltered today.
Speaker 2: I feel like that is by accidentally unfiltered, But I
Speaker 2: I do have another one, as somebody wrote in, actually,
Speaker 2: I just thought this was funny for those of you
Speaker 2: that aren't original listeners, that don't know what accidentally unfiltered is,
Speaker 2: It's just this segment that we sort of made up
Speaker 2: one time.
Speaker 1: So you write in your most embarrassing moments. That's literally
Speaker 1: what it is. Things that just went so wrong, things
Speaker 1: that you wish you would the ground would just swallow
Speaker 1: you whole, imagining the worst thing that could happen to you.
Speaker 1: We want to hear that, so write it in. So
Speaker 1: carrying on from the things we've been speaking about in Corona,
Speaker 1: lockdown people are all you know, everyone's working from home now.
Speaker 1: We told some stories last week about just unfortunate things
Speaker 1: that have happened to people. We had one listener right
Speaker 1: in saying that her best friend's principal and the principal
Speaker 1: was having a zoom meeting they're all from home with
Speaker 1: other teachers. But she's a bit older and she doesn't
Speaker 1: really she's sort of like me, not older, but just
Speaker 1: doesn't get technology. So she's on the zoom meeting and
Speaker 1: she's talking away looking to her computer, and one of
Speaker 1: her colleagues is like, oh, oh, your camera's on the
Speaker 1: wrong way and quickly turn it around, turn around. She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to turn around. I turn it
Speaker 1: around anyway. No camera has turned around straight onto her
Speaker 1: dildo that was just sitting there just to see, like
Speaker 1: all her colleagues, just to see a dildo sitting there
Speaker 1: and bless us, all, where do you go from that?
Speaker 1: You don't? You just have to own that. Did you
Speaker 1: see the zoom meeting. It's been making the traps around
Speaker 1: Instagram at the moment where a boss she turned herself
Speaker 1: into a potato by their filter. Have you seen the No,
Speaker 1: I can see that. So she put a filter over
Speaker 1: herself where it turned her into potato, and then she
Speaker 1: had to do the whole meeting as a potato with
Speaker 1: all her stuff because she couldn't figure out how to
Speaker 1: turn the filter off. Was an accident. It was an accident.
Speaker 1: It's been making the chats around Instagram. It's actually so
Speaker 1: funny and maybe I'll put it if I can find it,
Speaker 1: I'll put a link to it on our Instagram so
Speaker 1: guys can all have a look. So, guys, we do
Speaker 1: actually have a few more accidentally unfiltered stories that have
Speaker 1: come into us this week. I'm going to read you
Speaker 1: on right now. So there's this girl on the phone
Speaker 1: to her boyfriend and they're having a bit of an
Speaker 1: argument because he's trying to say, I have never sent
Speaker 1: you a dig pic. She's like, bro, you've sent me digpics.
Speaker 1: He's like I haven't. She's like, you have. I'll find
Speaker 1: it for you and I'll send it back to you
Speaker 1: to prove it. So she goes into a phone. She
Speaker 1: finds his like fully hard e wrecked penis that he's holding.
Speaker 1: Now mind you, he's holding it with a hand that's
Speaker 1: very distinct. It is covered in tattoos. It could be
Speaker 1: no one else's hand to no one else's peenius. So
Speaker 1: she's like in already. So she's like incoming because she's
Speaker 1: on the phone to him, press is send. He doesn't
Speaker 1: get it. He's like, where's it gone. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: my actual god, I've just sent your hard dick to
Speaker 1: my mom. And then Mom's like, oh, Sally, do you
Speaker 1: often send dick pics like that? And she was like, Mom,
Speaker 1: please never never mention that again. And now her mom
Speaker 1: has seen her boyfriend's hard penis. I don't think it
Speaker 1: gets much worse than sending a dick pic to your mom,
Speaker 1: but it worse. How do you explain that? Yeah, Mom, sorry,
Speaker 1: I was just trying to convince my boyfriend that he
Speaker 1: had actually sent one to me in the past. By
Speaker 1: re sending a upcycled dickpic back, enjoy, Mom, save it.
Speaker 1: What a great time she's having.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The only thing that could be worse for that is
Speaker 1: if your dad sends you one. No, no, no, that's
Speaker 1: I mean, hello, yeah, that's terrific. But if if if
Speaker 1: he had sent it to his own mom, if you
Speaker 1: send your own dick to your own mom, at least
Speaker 1: this wasn't her child od's penis, do you know, like
Speaker 1: it was? It was her child's boyfriend's penis. But imagine
Speaker 1: if you're a mum and your son sends you a
Speaker 1: picture of his art peenis. I disagree. I think if
Speaker 1: I'm imaginings sick oh no. I'm imagining being in my
Speaker 1: fifties and Mary being in her twenties and her sending
Speaker 1: me a photo of her boyfriend's penis. I would be mortified.
Speaker 1: I would be one. I'd be like, that's my that's
Speaker 1: my child, that's my baby, But how dare you disrespect
Speaker 1: my baby like that? They're still don't think it would
Speaker 1: sit very well, But guys, please, like, we literally live
Speaker 1: for these accidentally unfiltered, so keep sending them in and
Speaker 1: just caption them at the top accidentally unfiltered aka most
Speaker 1: embarrassing moment of my life, so that we can live
Speaker 1: vicariously through them. So if you're wondering where to send them,
Speaker 1: jump onto our Instagram. It's at Life Uncut podcast and
Speaker 1: you can send us through your acciently unfiltered stories, just
Speaker 1: as brit has said. Or you can also send to
Speaker 1: us your ask Uncut questions because every Thursday we do
Speaker 1: a sneaky little episode which is Ask Uncut, where we
Speaker 1: answer all of the questions, the deep duck burning questions
Speaker 1: that you have for the week, whether their relationship or
Speaker 1: life based. Send them through and we will add them
Speaker 1: to the pile for this coming Thursday's episode. Now should
Speaker 1: we jump on in to the episode. Yes, Well, guys,
Speaker 1: considering what is going on in the world at the moment,
Speaker 1: and we cannot escape the Corona. It's everywhere, It's everywhere.
Speaker 1: We've been trying really hard to bring new content that
Speaker 1: is not just heavily based in this whole conversation around coronavirus,
Speaker 1: because we really feel like, no matter where you look,
Speaker 1: no matter where you turn, everything is Corona Corona, Corona,
Speaker 1: Ah Corona. You didn't no, but you did. I did anyway,
Speaker 1: So we didn't want to bring you more content to
Speaker 1: flood your ears with doom gloom Corona. However, the landscape
Speaker 1: of dating has changed for the interim. For the long term,
Speaker 1: we don't know how long we're going to be having
Speaker 1: to self isolate and maintain social distancing, and I think
Speaker 1: as a relationships podcast, we'd be really doing ourselves a
Speaker 1: disservice to not talk about how this is affecting dating
Speaker 1: and to talk about how this is affecting relationships. So
Speaker 1: we really wanted to touch on this episode about what
Speaker 1: does dating look like now that we're in this world
Speaker 1: where we can't be physical with each other exactly, and
Speaker 1: we don't know how long this is going to last.
Speaker 1: So it's nice to see a few of the really
Speaker 1: really big plays in the game, like Bumble and Tinder
Speaker 1: and like the whole match dot Com conglomerate jumping on board,
Speaker 1: and they've all started to do this video function where
Speaker 1: a few of them have actually had it for a while,
Speaker 1: and they haven't had it hasn't been popular, they haven't
Speaker 1: had a lot of use in it. In all my
Speaker 1: years on the online dating I never used that function,
Speaker 1: But now, yeah, like, ain't no one want to put
Speaker 1: a makeup in FaceTime some guy that they've literally just
Speaker 1: exchanged a short chat with no and no one looks
Speaker 1: good on FaceTime. That reminds me of like I think
Speaker 1: I told you last year. I'm just going to bring
Speaker 1: this in. The last person I was date, we'd only
Speaker 1: be I was like, I hadn't actually met him yet,
Speaker 1: but he got my number and we were texting back
Speaker 1: and forth. So this was happening like we were texting
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it popped up on
Speaker 1: my screen FaceTime. I literally threw the phone out the window.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, you can't just oh
Speaker 1: my god, you can't just FaceTime me. I was like
Speaker 1: fresh out of bed, no makeup here in the top
Speaker 1: not And this was someone that I really wanted to impress.
Speaker 1: And then he was like, I know you're there, like
Speaker 1: you're just texting me, and I was like, no, this
Speaker 1: is this relationship is going too fast real quick. We
Speaker 1: are not in FaceTime territory. People, no, because you don't
Speaker 1: want to say that. So I said, oh, sorry, it's
Speaker 1: just that I'm naked, so I couldn't answer. Give me
Speaker 1: a few minutes put my clothes on anyway. I was like, brows,
Speaker 1: masca off, give me a few times to put my
Speaker 1: face on, my face clothes anyway. The moral of the stories,
Speaker 1: don't just ever sporadically FaceTime someone if it's a date,
Speaker 1: give give them a little heads up, pay I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call you in an hour or whatever. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing is these are online dating or all bringing in
Speaker 1: this video function, which I think is really really nice
Speaker 1: because you don't necessarily want to just straight out give
Speaker 1: your number up so you can FaceTime someone. That sounds ideal,
Speaker 1: but then you've just given you number to someone. So
Speaker 1: I like the fact that you can now do video
Speaker 1: calls online without without swapping your details. I think that
Speaker 1: makes a lot of people feel more comfortable. I hadn't
Speaker 1: thought of it like that. I hadn't realized that the
Speaker 1: reason why they would have the FaceTime in the app
Speaker 1: is to try and save you from giving away all
Speaker 1: your personal details sort of to someone who you don't know.
Speaker 1: You can kind of have that conversation within the dating
Speaker 1: app to start with exactly. That's amazing. And there's been
Speaker 1: an increase of about twenty one percent, so that was
Speaker 1: from Bumble. Bumbler said twenty one percent increase in messaging
Speaker 1: men starting the first message obviously because that's what Bumble is.
Speaker 1: But Tinder, every single app has registered an increase in
Speaker 1: downloads and communication starting and communication length so how long
Speaker 1: people are talking. So everything online has gone up. Everything
Speaker 1: is skyrocketing. Something that I thought was really interesting about
Speaker 1: the whole dating and isolation thing because I would have
Speaker 1: thought that people wouldn't be jumping on Tinder as much
Speaker 1: purely because you can't meet up in real life. But
Speaker 1: we threw this out to you guys, and we put
Speaker 1: a pole up and a questionnaire up on our Instagram page,
Speaker 1: and it was actually really interesting getting your feedback and
Speaker 1: your take on what does dating look like now for you.
Speaker 1: We had quite a few people write in and say
Speaker 1: that because they no longer feel like there's this immense
Speaker 1: pressure to meet up, they're almost wanting to use dating
Speaker 1: apps more because it's like a soft way of getting
Speaker 1: to know each other without this intensity around it. And
Speaker 1: so one person's written in saying, I'm using Tinder because
Speaker 1: I don't actually have to worry about seeing them in
Speaker 1: real life. Okay, so that is just a time film.
Speaker 1: What a time was? Yeah, But I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: the guys are doing the same thing, right. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really difficult. I think there's going to be, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, fifty to fifty. There's gonna be people
Speaker 1: that are just like, I'm so bored, give me someone
Speaker 1: to talk to you, but they don't actually want anything.
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be people that are like, Okay, let
Speaker 1: me actually see if I can form a some sort
Speaker 1: of real human connection here or totally. Another girl has
Speaker 1: said that she's found herself swiping right and talking to
Speaker 1: guys that she would normally never ever speak to, just
Speaker 1: out of pure boredom, Like, let's be really, you're going
Speaker 1: to talk to people that you probably never would have
Speaker 1: on the street, or that you never would have even online,
Speaker 1: because you're your time in real life. This is the thing,
Speaker 1: and this is what I always found. This is what
Speaker 1: I always found on my dating. My time was so
Speaker 1: limited that I didn't give probably enough people a chance.
Speaker 1: But that's because I didn't have the time. So i'd
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I'm just going to really stick to
Speaker 1: what I know I like instead of just going outside
Speaker 1: the box a lot more. You were like, fuck boy, yes,
Speaker 1: fuck boy yes, ussehole yes, red flat yes, red back yes,
Speaker 1: I love the red flats. Oh my god, this guy
Speaker 1: looks really nice left And I'm like, Britt, he's wearing
Speaker 1: a prison jumpsuit. You're like, he's so cute in orange.
Speaker 1: But he only has two tear drop tattoos on his
Speaker 1: space and killed two people. No, but that's what I
Speaker 1: used to find, So I think, what's happening now? People
Speaker 1: have all this time on their hands, so they're saying
Speaker 1: yes to people that they probably wouldn't. They give me
Speaker 1: more people a chance. They're communicating with people that they
Speaker 1: might not have liked their occupation previously. They might not
Speaker 1: like the way they look, they might not have liked
Speaker 1: they might have been the same height as them. They're
Speaker 1: widening the net. Oh my god, it had the same height.
Speaker 1: I think that that's like the number one thing for
Speaker 1: people in dating apps, Like we are all we're not racist,
Speaker 1: we're not sexist, we're just highest were I am the highest.
Speaker 1: That's it. I would rather date someone ten years younger
Speaker 1: than me than shorter than me. I have done that.
Speaker 1: It is. I have dated someone shorter than me, and
Speaker 1: I like, bless him, he's an angel. But it's nothing.
Speaker 1: I mean, being short doesn't make you an asshole. Flora,
Speaker 1: You and I actually we're pretty tall, so we do
Speaker 1: need someone that's it has to be my height at least,
Speaker 1: because even if they're high, then you feel like you
Speaker 1: can't wear heels because you're ten times taller than them.
Speaker 1: And just kids. But that's okay, Like I, when that
Speaker 1: comes down to anything, you're allowed to have a preference.
Speaker 1: It does make you an asshole. You're allowed to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm attracted to guys who are brunette over
Speaker 1: guys who are blonde. I'm attracted to guys who are
Speaker 1: taller or who are taller than me. Like that, all
Speaker 1: of that is acceptable, But like just getting back on
Speaker 1: track with the dating and isolation. I do agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think that this is going to widen the net
Speaker 1: and allow people to start talking to people outside of
Speaker 1: their normal like in your lane, what you would normally
Speaker 1: go for, just because there's more time to explore. But
Speaker 1: I do think that this is also going to open
Speaker 1: up the time for exactly what we said, time wasters.
Speaker 1: You're going to be spending time talking to people and
Speaker 1: it isn't going to eventuate into anything because there are
Speaker 1: guys as well are out there sitting at home but
Speaker 1: nothing to do. They want to be entertained, they want
Speaker 1: some attention, and so definitely going to be a great
Speaker 1: area for some people where maybe it'll allow them to
Speaker 1: form deeper and more unique connections online, but it's also
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of time wasting. I think
Speaker 1: the people, thank god, we've got so much fucking time.
Speaker 1: I think that people. I could be wrong. I'm not often,
Speaker 1: but I could be. I think the people that take
Speaker 1: the next step, because you can there's only so much
Speaker 1: time you can talk to someone online and then it's nothing.
Speaker 1: You lose interest, the band has gone your friend zone.
Speaker 1: The people that are going to take it to the
Speaker 1: next level and actually start to video date and video call.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to start to wead the people
Speaker 1: out that are actually serious or not. Because people that
Speaker 1: are not serious and they're just killing time, they're the texters.
Speaker 1: They're the people that are texting you while the netflixing,
Speaker 1: you know, they're the people that are just bored. The
Speaker 1: people that are taking that effort to then meet you
Speaker 1: for an online date, which is which is what everyone
Speaker 1: in the world is doing now. I think they're the
Speaker 1: people that are actually probably a little bit more serious.
Speaker 1: Well that was actually something else somebody else had written
Speaker 1: in that it's forcing the conversations in their online dating
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more interesting. So instead of
Speaker 1: just getting like hair you up, how is your day?
Speaker 1: What's doing you? Like? Stuff like how was your day?
Speaker 1: I don't know, mate, my day was shit. I sat
Speaker 1: inside all day? What did you do? Like, they can't
Speaker 1: ask the same sorts of questions. So one person who
Speaker 1: had written in had said that they find that the
Speaker 1: conversations that they're getting are a lot more in depth
Speaker 1: and they are a lot more interesting. Yeah, because you
Speaker 1: have to ask questions that are outside your normal safe
Speaker 1: so you can't say how is your day, Like everyone's
Speaker 1: day is pretty much the same at the moment. You know,
Speaker 1: there's obviously variance of it, but we're all in the
Speaker 1: same kind of pile of shit right now. Okay, runs
Speaker 1: online dating, they're all making their connections, but then they
Speaker 1: start to do the video calls and people are really
Speaker 1: and I think it's quite nice people that wrote into
Speaker 1: us things that I've read. It's happening a lot in
Speaker 1: New York right now, because obviously in New York, the
Speaker 1: city that doesn't sleep, dating is huge over there, online
Speaker 1: dating is huge, but New York is really suffering, like
Speaker 1: they are getting a beating with what's happening right now.
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of really cute stories coming
Speaker 1: out of that. For example, I was reading about this
Speaker 1: guy that met a girl online and they wanted to
Speaker 1: have He really actually quite liked her. They had spoken
Speaker 1: on the phone but not video called, and they decided
Speaker 1: to go on a first date and they actually got
Speaker 1: dressed like a date. He blessed him. He sent her
Speaker 1: a bottle of wine, but then he had the exact
Speaker 1: same one so that they could drink together on the
Speaker 1: date and talk about the wine. They ordered the same
Speaker 1: food foes in so that they were eating the same foods,
Speaker 1: like it was like they were together. Literally, everything was
Speaker 1: like they were together, except they actually obviously weren't together.
Speaker 1: But I thought, bless your soul, that's beautiful And if
Speaker 1: anyone's listening right now, that is a great idea if
Speaker 1: you're a single and you're wanting to be still dating
Speaker 1: online and you're not really sure how to navigate this. Like, obviously,
Speaker 1: virtual dates amazing way very new age, very still very
Speaker 1: strange and weird territory. Like we're not going to pretend
Speaker 1: like that this is a totally normal thing that we're
Speaker 1: all across. Yet it's weird everyone's doing it, but everyone's
Speaker 1: doing it totally And there are some really cute virtual
Speaker 1: dates that you could do. Like I've talked to a
Speaker 1: couple of people who are single and they're doing things
Speaker 1: like cooking dates where they're facetiming or zooming each other
Speaker 1: and they're cooking the same meal. It's similar to similar
Speaker 1: to this couple who had the same wine and had
Speaker 1: a cute date. They're cooking the same meal and then
Speaker 1: they're watching a movie together, but they're kind of watching
Speaker 1: it on their own TV, or they're that would be weird,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. But it's like real life goggle Box. But
Speaker 1: imagine also if they were it was like a first date.
Speaker 1: You're watching a movie. Now we're a talker, because I
Speaker 1: hate talkers in a movie. That's me. I'm the person
Speaker 1: that's always like, what just happened? What's going to happen now?
Speaker 1: And the person sitting next to me, which is normally Matt,
Speaker 1: is like, I have seen the same amount of this
Speaker 1: movie as you have. Laura. I'm like, but why does
Speaker 1: she say that? He's like, I'm gonna kill you. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I only do that in scary movies, scaring through movies,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a way of as a coping
Speaker 1: mechanism of like stopping what I'm seeing on the screen.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, no we didn't yes years,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's good to do it. He's gonna
Speaker 1: do it, She's gonna die, And it takes away the
Speaker 1: scariness of like the background music. That's my story, so
Speaker 1: story anyway. I just feel like watching a movie together
Speaker 1: is cute, but also if they're a talker, you might
Speaker 1: just have to mute them. But also good to know
Speaker 1: that they're a talker now because maybe they're not your
Speaker 1: person and maybe that's like, oh, sorry, this is never
Speaker 1: gonna work out. Because you talk through movies. You get
Speaker 1: to learn a lot about people when you're in isolation,
Speaker 1: especially the couples who are in isolation right now, learning
Speaker 1: a lot about your partners, I'm sure. But to be fair,
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of people say that isolation has
Speaker 1: been really good for them as a couple. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: this is something that I found really interesting, and it's
Speaker 1: also something that I like, I wanted to bring up
Speaker 1: personally in really to like Matt and I. So, I think,
Speaker 1: and I've seen it a lot on Instagram. I've seen
Speaker 1: it a lot on social media. We're being really quick
Speaker 1: to make jokes about how shit it is being trapped
Speaker 1: in isolation with your partner and how you know, you
Speaker 1: get really annoyed by the fact that you spend twenty
Speaker 1: four to seven with them. But I actually think and
Speaker 1: the overwhelming response to what we put up on Instagram
Speaker 1: was that most couples who were in isolation together, it's
Speaker 1: been great for their relationship and it's made them really
Speaker 1: really happy, and it's made them spend quality time together
Speaker 1: and it's made them appreciate their partner and all the
Speaker 1: things that they do for them.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Some one girl had written in saying that her partner's
Speaker 1: cleaning hips more because now he's got more time. There
Speaker 1: were a few people who wrote in saying that it
Speaker 1: hasn't been good for their relationships. But what I think
Speaker 1: this situation is going to do is it's going to
Speaker 1: be a real pressure cooker and it's absolute make or
Speaker 1: break for these relationships. For some people, it's going to
Speaker 1: fast track them to babies and weddings, and maybe it
Speaker 1: will make the relationship move at a quicker pace than
Speaker 1: what they'd originally thought. And for other people, it will
Speaker 1: also make it move to a quicker pace, but it
Speaker 1: will make it move towards breaking up, because that's also
Speaker 1: going to happen for people. It's going to like put
Speaker 1: the pressure on. And it's a situation where you never
Speaker 1: would experience normally, but I imagine and that would be
Speaker 1: tough for the people that are going to break up
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't do it now you wouldn't do it too.
Speaker 1: How do you break up in isolation? You can't? I
Speaker 1: think you write it out? Do you do you just stay?
Speaker 1: When do you know, the world shut, the world's on pause.
Speaker 1: It's not straightforward, and it sucks to be leaving a
Speaker 1: relationship now. When people have lost their jobs, people have
Speaker 1: been to be codependent on people when they wouldn't normally.
Speaker 1: There's a lot there's so much happening now where people
Speaker 1: it's out of our control, and I think we're leaning
Speaker 1: on a lot of people in our lives more than ever.
Speaker 1: Just on what you just said as well. And a
Speaker 1: little bit of advice that I want to give to
Speaker 1: listeners to is that if you are going through a
Speaker 1: really hard patch with your partners now and this is
Speaker 1: overwhelming for you, I don't think it's necessarily a reflection
Speaker 1: that your relationship is bad and that the person you're
Speaker 1: with isn't the right person for you. I think that
Speaker 1: this is an unprecedented stressful situation that you will never
Speaker 1: have to go through with your partner again. And there'll
Speaker 1: be other stressful situations, sure, but it won't be like this.
Speaker 1: It's never going to be that you have to stay
Speaker 1: locked in a house with someone for twenty four to
Speaker 1: seven of your time. So I think if people are
Speaker 1: not on their best behavior at the moment, they are
Speaker 1: afforded a little bit of time, and they can be
Speaker 1: afforded a little bit of leeway because this situation is
Speaker 1: not going to bring out the best in everyone. You
Speaker 1: need some wiggle room. Yeah, it doesn't mean that your
Speaker 1: relationship is shit and doesn't mean that your relationship should
Speaker 1: be over it. Maybe for some people it will be
Speaker 1: the sort of the icing on the cake and it
Speaker 1: will make them realize that they weren't in the right relationship.
Speaker 1: And for those people then that's actually in the long
Speaker 1: run of good revelation. But for some people, I think
Speaker 1: this is just super stressful and it doesn't mean your
Speaker 1: relationship is the wrong one. It's just means that you know,
Speaker 1: this is not something that anyone could have could have
Speaker 1: been prepared for. And so I think don't put too
Speaker 1: much pressure on yourself or be too hard on yourself
Speaker 1: if you're not super happy in your relationship right now. Either.
Speaker 1: The other thing in regards to that is, for sure
Speaker 1: you can have some leeway. Know that it's not forever.
Speaker 1: You need your wiggle room, you need your leniency, you
Speaker 1: need your understanding. But if if you're in a situation
Speaker 1: that's really really extremely uncomfortable, if you're in any way
Speaker 1: you know that you need out. You can do that also,
Speaker 1: because this could be going on for six months. You know,
Speaker 1: they have said that there could be restrictions and warnings
Speaker 1: for six months, So know that if you are one
Speaker 1: hundred percent that this is not right and you are uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: there are so you can still get rentals, you can
Speaker 1: still leave. We're just saying that if you're with your
Speaker 1: partner and you just want to strangle them right now,
Speaker 1: write it out totally total. That will get better. But
Speaker 1: I guess there's this other idea too. For new couples.
Speaker 1: There's so like, there's so much I've been trying to
Speaker 1: think about and get my head around. For all these
Speaker 1: new couples right that are social distancing. Everybody seems to
Speaker 1: have this different idea of what social distancing is and
Speaker 1: what it means to them. And there are some new
Speaker 1: couples that are saying, Okay, well, you know we were
Speaker 1: seeing each other before this, so let's continue to see
Speaker 1: each other. And they're a bit more lenient, and then
Speaker 1: the other partner is saying, oh, absolutely not like who
Speaker 1: knows where you've been in terms of like obviously to
Speaker 1: the shop or something, but like they're taking it really seriously.
Speaker 1: So they're not wanting to see their partner, But what
Speaker 1: an easy way of like forcing a breakup if you
Speaker 1: were not happy in your relationship, be like, sorry, Babe've
Speaker 1: got a social distance for the rest of my last
Speaker 1: Scomo said one point five meter is I can't see
Speaker 1: you for six months and then just don't call them,
Speaker 1: goes them, and by their time we all come out
Speaker 1: of isolation. You're like, boyfriend, who what? But that's a
Speaker 1: people I feel sorry for the Oh, I just feel
Speaker 1: sorry for these people. Well, I mean also for people
Speaker 1: who freshly got into a relationship before this happened, now
Speaker 1: that they're in lockdown, but they live in different states,
Speaker 1: or one person works in medicine, and then therefore there's
Speaker 1: even more restrictions, Like a lot of people who wrote
Speaker 1: in we had a lot of nurses who can't see
Speaker 1: their boyfriends or can't see their partners because they need
Speaker 1: to isolate more than sort of like a regular person.
Speaker 1: And it puts massive strain on a relationship. But I
Speaker 1: guess you just kind of have to view it as
Speaker 1: though you're doing long distance for a little while, and
Speaker 1: that's like it's a new way of navigating the relationship.
Speaker 1: But I think this is this, Like I said, this
Speaker 1: whole period is going to be the make or break.
Speaker 1: The relationships that come out of this are going to
Speaker 1: be such strong and unified relationships, and the ones that
Speaker 1: fall apart because of this, maybe it's just a fast
Speaker 1: track to them falling apart. Maybe they were already going
Speaker 1: to do that at some point in time in the future. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I do think it's really important that we don't stop dating,
Speaker 1: and I'm putting that in inverted commas because we still
Speaker 1: do need social connection. We still do need an emotional connection,
Speaker 1: human contact. You do need all that. But it's rah
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, don't go and physically see people.
Speaker 1: It's just it defeats the whole purpose of what we're
Speaker 1: trying to do here, which is not spread corona and
Speaker 1: flatten the curve. That's what we need to do, and
Speaker 1: just saying, oh, just one night, I'm just going to
Speaker 1: see him one night, it doesn't work like that. It's
Speaker 1: that's all it takes, you know. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: be a real advocate here for if you just to
Speaker 1: not go and actually hook up with these people that
Speaker 1: you've met online. You're telling everyone to go on a
Speaker 1: severe DD. Why don't you tell everyone what a DD is, Laura,
Speaker 1: get yourself on their dick detox, ladies.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I think we need a nation, a worldwide dick detops.
Speaker 1: This is the only way to stop coronavirus. Is if
Speaker 1: everybody goes on a dick detox, we'll be all out
Speaker 1: in the open again and you guys can go hunting
Speaker 1: once more. But look, I mean, like brit said, we
Speaker 1: are absolutely advocating for you guys to you know, maintain
Speaker 1: social distancing and not go out and not you know,
Speaker 1: do like do the right thing totally. If everybody does
Speaker 1: the right thing, now you can all go and do
Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want sooner. But also because it's
Speaker 1: going to be like obviously if you're online dating still,
Speaker 1: it's going to be tempting to just sneak over to
Speaker 1: their house to meet them, especially if you've met someone
Speaker 1: who you have what seems like a great connection with them.
Speaker 1: But I think also keep in mind unless it is
Speaker 1: just hangs and bangs that you're after, but if you're
Speaker 1: after a relationship and you really do think this person
Speaker 1: might be great, going over to their house as like
Speaker 1: a secret little meetup you're putting yourself into that category
Speaker 1: of just being a fuck buddy potentially, especially if you
Speaker 1: don't have the chance of meeting them in a way
Speaker 1: where it's a proper date and you can put some
Speaker 1: parameters and some protection around yourself. Also, it can just
Speaker 1: be dangerous, like going to someone's house who you've never
Speaker 1: met before, who you have no information on, Like you know,
Speaker 1: and I know that a lot of people do it,
Speaker 1: and I've done it in the past, you know, having
Speaker 1: a Tinder hook up. But be smart, ladies, like, don't
Speaker 1: put yourself in a situation that's going to be dangerous
Speaker 1: for you because we can't go out and have a
Speaker 1: normal date at a pub or a bar and that's
Speaker 1: the only way of seeing them. Because the thing you
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind is that you don't know
Speaker 1: how many people they've done that with that week or
Speaker 1: within the last two weeks. And not only could you
Speaker 1: get hurt in other ways, you can also catch Corona now,
Speaker 1: which is a whole nother amazing thing to throw into
Speaker 1: the list of potent possibilities that could happen. It's not
Speaker 1: just an STD now, it's Corona and an STD totally.
Speaker 1: So I think be safe and be smart with how
Speaker 1: you're dating at the moment. And as much as like,
Speaker 1: like Britz said, as much as it's it seems like
Speaker 1: it's a bit futile, I think it is really important
Speaker 1: to maintain human connections and it is okay to kind
Speaker 1: of line up your pen pals for once this whole
Speaker 1: thing is over, then you can have your dates. And
Speaker 1: I do want to put one little ad on there
Speaker 1: for all of you listeners who are especially like it
Speaker 1: well in Sydney. All of you listeners are in Sydney,
Speaker 1: but especially in the East Nilaura and I in Bondai
Speaker 1: or any of the eastern beaches. I'm talking to you,
Speaker 1: don't go and hook up with anyone because Bondni is
Speaker 1: the epicenter of the nation for corona. We have more
Speaker 1: Corona cases spreading in Bondi than anywhere else in Australia.
Speaker 1: So if that's not going to keep you away from
Speaker 1: your one night's stand, I don't know what is. If
Speaker 1: you're someone who is a serial data and you're you'll
Speaker 1: like have been punching out those dates girlfriend left, right
Speaker 1: and center, then this could be a really great time
Speaker 1: to sort of stop and reassess what it is that
Speaker 1: you want in a partner and what you want in
Speaker 1: a relationship, and like, you can still online date, you
Speaker 1: can still be chatting to guys, but it's a really
Speaker 1: good time to kind of like slow it down a
Speaker 1: little bit and make some decisions about what you actually
Speaker 1: want in a partner so that you're not you're breaking
Speaker 1: that routine of just serial serial dating, which I think
Speaker 1: can sometimes cloud what your decision making is in a relationship,
Speaker 1: and it can also make you choose guys who aren't
Speaker 1: necessarily the right guys for you because you're just you're
Speaker 1: too busy dating to actually stop and take stock of
Speaker 1: what's happening around you. So I think that this could
Speaker 1: be a good thing for those serial datas out there.
Speaker 1: I also think that for a silver lining of sorts.
Speaker 1: I know that that's horrible reaching for straws here, guys, No,
Speaker 1: but a silver lining for sure is that I think
Speaker 1: that this could be like the major disruption that we
Speaker 1: need to get dating back to the old days of
Speaker 1: being more respectful and more wholesome and more of literally
Speaker 1: getting to know someone on a level that's not physical.
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot to be said for that,
Speaker 1: because if you look back at the generations of dating.
Speaker 1: We've gone from like courting one person from a long
Speaker 1: time ago, putting a lot of energy into it, to
Speaker 1: now half the people don't even know the name of
Speaker 1: the person they're hooked up with, Like people just go
Speaker 1: and have these one night stands. So I think that
Speaker 1: silver lining is going to be really nice to spend
Speaker 1: some time getting to know somebody. And if somebody isn't
Speaker 1: willing right now to commit to some time getting to
Speaker 1: know you in terms of online video dates, they're probably
Speaker 1: not going to be someone that's going to commit the
Speaker 1: time to you in the real world either. So if
Speaker 1: they're not if they can't be bothered to date you
Speaker 1: now at this time in this pandemic, in this situation,
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to be bothered in the real world.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't bother with them, Oh my god, totally.
Speaker 1: And you also know that if somebody is putting in
Speaker 1: the effort and the time now and they're actually maintaining
Speaker 1: this communication and this conversation throughout all the ups and
Speaker 1: downs of this period, they are someone that you want
Speaker 1: to invest time in. Once we can go back to
Speaker 1: life as normal, Imagine how great that guy's going to
Speaker 1: be in real life. That sent the bottle of wine
Speaker 1: to the girl and then they drunk the same one
Speaker 1: on a video date. Angel and Angel him now one
Speaker 1: of my girlfriends who is kind of talking to this
Speaker 1: guy at the moment on Tinder, and it's progressed. They're
Speaker 1: like whatsapping each other all the time, and and they've
Speaker 1: been video skyping. They haven't met. She's been really good
Speaker 1: with maintaining this whole social distancing thing. She said to me,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's going to be really weird and
Speaker 1: like not meet my expectations when I meet him in
Speaker 1: real life. Like she's like really worried that it's going
Speaker 1: to be weird meeting someone who she's had such an
Speaker 1: online connection with. But I think it'll be the opposite.
Speaker 1: I think if you are facetiming and you have seen
Speaker 1: their mannerisms, and you've spoken to them on video call
Speaker 1: and you are maintaining a constant flow of conversation, I
Speaker 1: think when you meet them for the first time on
Speaker 1: that first date, if you've already had such a level
Speaker 1: of communication and connection, that is going to transcend and
Speaker 1: translate into real life. If anything, you'll feel like you're
Speaker 1: old friends. You'll feel like this has been something that's
Speaker 1: been going on for ages, and it probably will progress
Speaker 1: very quickly after you do meet up in real life.
Speaker 1: All right, I think it's storytime. Dun dund dum. This
Speaker 1: just reminded me, Well, if we had the new podcasting equipment,
Speaker 1: I could have had a little sound effect in there,
Speaker 1: because the new stuff is great. This just reminded me
Speaker 1: of a perfect story. That's exactly what you just said.
Speaker 1: So after my sister and I we'd spent about six
Speaker 1: or seven months in South America or something like that
Speaker 1: before we were moving to the UK to Scotland. Now
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know because oh, actually you might have. Were
Speaker 1: you around on Tinder when Tinder had the geolocation you
Speaker 1: could you could swipe into another country, you didn't have
Speaker 1: to be there. Did you have that? Yeah, yeah, okay cool.
Speaker 1: I didn't know how out of the game you work,
Speaker 1: but I was on Tinder back in the day when
Speaker 1: Tinder used to tell you how long your match, like
Speaker 1: how long ago your match had been online and you
Speaker 1: couldn't turn it off. That was a word. So feel
Speaker 1: like it would be like your match was online ten
Speaker 1: minutes ago. But he hasn't spoken to you. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: had been in South America for so long, and we
Speaker 1: knew that we were then moving to Scotland for a
Speaker 1: little while. So one day we're really bored. We're like,
Speaker 1: let's GEO swipe in just Scotland to see what men
Speaker 1: are waiting for us. We're like, let's get ready. We
Speaker 1: just we weren't going to talk twenty one on there.
Speaker 1: We just wanted to see what the men in Scotland
Speaker 1: were like, because I imagine them all to be Jamie
Speaker 1: from Outland. Anyway, I got a rude shock and I
Speaker 1: lick his chest, so Sheridan, I was swiping right and
Speaker 1: I came across this guy, an Indian guy, and I
Speaker 1: don't know. He was young. He was too young for me.
Speaker 1: He was twenty six. And I don't know what it was,
Speaker 1: but I was like, Sherry, you need to find this
Speaker 1: guy and say yes. And I showed her and she
Speaker 1: was like why, and I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you just need to say yes. There's something about him.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. She'd never dated someone
Speaker 1: of color before. I cannot tell you what it was
Speaker 1: that made me say that, But I was like, go
Speaker 1: and find this guy. His name's Jay say yes, and
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, whatever. I didn't think much of it.
Speaker 1: We're both laying in bed swiping next to each other.
Speaker 1: About an hour later, she comes across the guy, so
Speaker 1: she's like, well, swipe, yes, it was a match. They
Speaker 1: start talking. You have never experienced anything like this. They
Speaker 1: were talking online, probably one hundred messages a day, easily
Speaker 1: two hundred messages a day, NonStop, and that went on
Speaker 1: for two and a half months. They spoke NonStop, NonStop, NonStop,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you're a sick oh. And they
Speaker 1: were like, we're so obsessed with each other. They've never met,
Speaker 1: so this is like the isolation thing, right. They finally
Speaker 1: meet after two months in real life, thinking that their
Speaker 1: soul maids and I was on the first date with him.
Speaker 1: They finally meet and Sheridan walks away, and they were
Speaker 1: so nervous because they just thought they were the most
Speaker 1: perfect people for each other. And Sheridan walks away and
Speaker 1: she's like, well that was nothing like it was. I
Speaker 1: think we're just friends. And I'm like, surely not. You've
Speaker 1: been obsessed with him for two months and she's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I think we're just friends.
Speaker 1: Like I think we hyped it up too much, but
Speaker 1: they were both so nervous anyway. She was currently saying
Speaker 1: that as well, because she was like, I really like him,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to, like a bit of a
Speaker 1: defense mechanism. So after you build this like you were
Speaker 1: just saying about your friend for two months, talking someone
Speaker 1: NonStop and skyping each other, you build like such a
Speaker 1: strong emotional connection that as soon as it came time
Speaker 1: to meet each other, she was like, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: like me in real life. Turns out he thought the
Speaker 1: same thing, Like there was so much pressure on it
Speaker 1: that they just weren't themselves when they met. But they
Speaker 1: gave it a few more times to meet, and thank
Speaker 1: god they did because he lives in Australia now and
Speaker 1: they've been together for five years. Isn't that amazing? Is that?
Speaker 1: And this amazing? Yeah? I knew who I knew who
Speaker 1: this story was about. I had to pretend like I
Speaker 1: didn't know, but I knew. But like it's I just
Speaker 1: feel like it's the same thing as what's going on now.
Speaker 1: People are gonna be talking to each other for months
Speaker 1: not knowing they're gonna then meet each other, feel all
Speaker 1: the pressure. It might not be ideal the first time,
Speaker 1: like your friend said, but pushed through it because you're
Speaker 1: just gonna be nervous, and you could find a little
Speaker 1: pot at the end of the road. Could be a penguin.
Speaker 1: There could be an isolation penguin, iso penguin, iso peng. Well,
Speaker 1: just imagine, imagine how nuts the dating world is going
Speaker 1: to be when we're all allowed back in the wild.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine? So I guess to tie this up
Speaker 1: is whatever you want goes right now, as long as
Speaker 1: you don't physically meet them up. But there's no Actually,
Speaker 1: I was about to say there's no rules, but there
Speaker 1: are some fucking rules. No, there are some strict rules.
Speaker 1: Do not go within one point five meters, do not
Speaker 1: physically touch. Kissing is not allowed at this period in
Speaker 1: time when you are supposed to be self isolated. We're
Speaker 1: not supposed to go over and see people and actually
Speaker 1: have dates in the flesh. I know it can feel like,
Speaker 1: especially if you're single and you want to be in
Speaker 1: a relationship and you have been looking for someone through
Speaker 1: a period of time, and look, this is going to
Speaker 1: sound like, oh yeah, great, coming from the girl who's
Speaker 1: in a relationship, like, screw you, Laura. But it's not
Speaker 1: going to be that long. We're not going to be
Speaker 1: in this phase forever. It's not gonna last forever. It's
Speaker 1: like three maybe six months of being single. And I
Speaker 1: know that that for some people that sounds like a
Speaker 1: really long time. But hey, I've been single for nine years,
Speaker 1: so but you know what, BRIT's doing fine, and here
Speaker 1: she is. Don't be so hard on yourself. It is
Speaker 1: not the end of the world to be single during
Speaker 1: this period. Lean on your girlfriends as well. FaceTime people
Speaker 1: who you love, FaceTime your friends, FaceTime your family, and
Speaker 1: spend some time on yourself as well, because this is
Speaker 1: going to be a bit of a strange time for dating,
Speaker 1: and I think try and have as much fun with
Speaker 1: it as you can and don't get too caught up
Speaker 1: if these connections and relationships aren't working out or people
Speaker 1: aren't sort of writing back to you in the way
Speaker 1: that you would expect, because I think other people are
Speaker 1: online time wasting as well. Okay, guys, like, yes, you
Speaker 1: can't get intimate in real life, but there's still phone
Speaker 1: sex for some people. That might be weird territory that
Speaker 1: you maybe you've never done that before, you mean just
Speaker 1: with partners. Oh, because I wouldn't be phone sex in
Speaker 1: like tinder date. Well, I mean maybe you will be
Speaker 1: if you've been tinder dating him for three months though
Speaker 1: in isolation like oh for sure if it's a long
Speaker 1: term yeah, likeder isolation if you if you're building connection
Speaker 1: with someone and it's progressing in a way and you
Speaker 1: want to get more intimate with them, like, there are
Speaker 1: other options as to how you can show intimacy with
Speaker 1: someone then other than just meeting up with them. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's a new time to explore something that's a little
Speaker 1: bit outside your comfort zone. Push those boundaries his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: My advice if you are going to take this next step,
Speaker 1: like Laura has just said, is if you've been dating
Speaker 1: someone for a few months, I can I can attest
Speaker 1: to them. Even after two years, you can guarantee know
Speaker 1: someone you don't. So after you've been dating someone for
Speaker 1: a few months you do want to take the next step.
Speaker 1: My advice sister is do phone sex, not skype sex,
Speaker 1: not video sex, because it's that's out there. You don't
Speaker 1: know who this person is, you don't know they're recording it,
Speaker 1: you don't know anything could happen with that, So just
Speaker 1: just don't go there. Just do not go there. Stay
Speaker 1: verbal without video people stay verbal, do it orally not
Speaker 1: by video. But no, that's actually such a good point.
Speaker 1: Sexprit and sex staning totally in messages. If you don't
Speaker 1: feel comfortable actually saying the words, then you can do
Speaker 1: it through your fingertips. You do still have to protect
Speaker 1: yourself because it is so easy for someone to screen
Speaker 1: record or for someone to video record a zoom or
Speaker 1: a skype. So make sure that you're not doing something
Speaker 1: that could put you into a compromising situation later on
Speaker 1: with someone who you don't know. That well, that's such
Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, I can't stress that enough. But
Speaker 1: onto the last little point that it's a bit more
Speaker 1: of a positive point. We just thought we'd throw out
Speaker 1: some date ideas. We wanted to put together a couple
Speaker 1: of things that we thought could be nice date ideas
Speaker 1: that you could throw around to a potential partner. If
Speaker 1: you guys are tossing up how to kind of progress
Speaker 1: things to the next stage, So I love the idea
Speaker 1: of sending the wine or even I guess if you
Speaker 1: wanted to go to the extra hog you could uber
Speaker 1: eat a meal to them as well, so it's like
Speaker 1: you've bought them dinner and then you could eat together
Speaker 1: on Skype. I love that. I think that's really really
Speaker 1: really cute. That's something I would do. But I think
Speaker 1: that's really really nice because you're eating the same meal,
Speaker 1: you're drinking the same wine. I don't know, it feels
Speaker 1: like you're having dinner together. It does, and I just
Speaker 1: think it's it gives you something more to talk about
Speaker 1: than if you were both drinking and eating something different
Speaker 1: because you can't compare it. You know, if you were
Speaker 1: eating Thie and I'm eating, you can't go what do
Speaker 1: you think of the peperoni? You know, you can't you
Speaker 1: can't compare your food. And like, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: like that. That's like a baseline of an important part
Speaker 1: of your initial date. It's the fact that you can
Speaker 1: compare the food that you're eating. Food and wine do
Speaker 1: That's my life. But it's nice. It's nice to have
Speaker 1: these shared experiences and if you can find small ways
Speaker 1: to do something together. I mean, I know that there
Speaker 1: were other people who were saying that they were meeting
Speaker 1: up and going for a walk, but maintaining social distancing
Speaker 1: whilst going for a walk. I mean, you can potentially
Speaker 1: still do that. I think that that errs into the
Speaker 1: gray area of what isn't isn't acceptable, though, I really
Speaker 1: like the idea of doing like a date that's a
Speaker 1: cooking date. And I know, I know that all of
Speaker 1: this is surrounded by food, but if you guys decide
Speaker 1: on something that you're both going to cook in your
Speaker 1: own house and you can have it on Skype or
Speaker 1: on zoom and you can do like a little cooking
Speaker 1: date together. I know a couple of people who have
Speaker 1: done that, and that seems like a really cute little
Speaker 1: first date as well. And at least then it's also
Speaker 1: a bit interactive, so you're not just sitting there being like, so,
Speaker 1: what have you done today? I know a couple that
Speaker 1: went for a walk at the exact same time for
Speaker 1: an hour, like they're our exercise, not together, but they
Speaker 1: skyped while they did it, so they were both walking
Speaker 1: out and they just tried to pretend they were walking together.
Speaker 1: I was pretty cure. It's so cute. God, we live
Speaker 1: in a weird world, guys, all right, give me another one.
Speaker 1: BRAND would always do like this is I'm just thinking,
Speaker 1: what's the things that I would do? You could do
Speaker 1: like a workout together organized for the same like put
Speaker 1: it on the TV or whatever you're going to do,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have to be so painfully fits
Speaker 1: bo to want to do that, Like that's what I
Speaker 1: would do. That's untied hit workout. Or if if a
Speaker 1: guy hit me up and was like, hey, let's do
Speaker 1: a workout for our first date, I'd feel like you
Speaker 1: sound exhausting. Okay, I can't tell you how many first
Speaker 1: dates I have suggested that have been exercised. Going for
Speaker 1: a walk, fine, fine, tennis, hike walk so okay, I
Speaker 1: can get on board with most of them. Tennis No,
Speaker 1: but that's because I'm very uncoordinated. But hike walk great.
Speaker 1: If someone was like, let's go and do a boxing
Speaker 1: and a pilates, I'd be like, I do I look
Speaker 1: like I need to lose some weight, I get toned. No,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yes, I will marry you. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: a yes, And he'll be like, what, yes, I'll go
Speaker 1: to the boxing?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: I mean I will, you'll come. So I think that's
Speaker 1: a really cute idea. But if you guys have any
Speaker 1: other ideas that you've been doing, or if you've had
Speaker 1: a really cute date that we haven't spoken about, we
Speaker 1: do want to hear about it because we want to
Speaker 1: pop it out on this platform to help other people,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people in this position
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of people have written into us
Speaker 1: saying we don't know how to date, we don't know
Speaker 1: what to do right now. So if you've had something
Speaker 1: really cute happen to you that maybe they've done to you,
Speaker 1: you've done to them, any ideas, send it in to
Speaker 1: us on Instagram at Life Uncut Podcasts, and we want
Speaker 1: to share the love and get it out there because
Speaker 1: we want all of you guys to find love. Absolutely, guys.
Speaker 1: We'll keep on adding to this and we will put
Speaker 1: some things up on Instagram. If you guys share some
Speaker 1: great ideas with us, then we will share it with
Speaker 1: the crew. I EU and enjoy dating and this really
Speaker 1: weird and wonderful Titanerpe. That's not wonderful, it's just weird.
Speaker 1: But enjoy dating because guys, human connection is still so
Speaker 1: important even though you can't see each other or touch
Speaker 1: each other in real life. We're so lucky that we
Speaker 1: live in a day and age where we still can
Speaker 1: online connect with people and there is still the potential
Speaker 1: to get out there and maybe meet your soulmate. Who knows. Yeah, Corona,
Speaker 1: it's going to cause our lives to be significantly different
Speaker 1: for a very long time. And I think it's really
Speaker 1: important that you all understand self isolation doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be emotional isolation. Ooh, good one, Brittany XO XO. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: we never finish an episode without our favorite part of
Speaker 1: the episode. I said that about other accidentally unfiltered part,
Speaker 1: but you know what, this is also our favorite part two,
Speaker 1: and that is suck and sweet baby. All right, brick,
Speaker 1: gimme your suck. Straight up. My suck was when I
Speaker 1: was fanging it up at like eighty kilometers an hour,
Speaker 1: sticking my finger out at you, and it wasn't you.
Speaker 1: That was my straight up, Like I just felt like
Speaker 1: the nastiest bitch, so that that was like such a thag.
Speaker 1: That was for sure my suck. My sweet was probably
Speaker 1: I went for a walk and I just wanted to
Speaker 1: go around the corner. I said to my sister, because
Speaker 1: that's what I'm isolating with. Hey, just come around the corner.
Speaker 1: I want to just check out this little area that
Speaker 1: I hadn't been to before. So she's likeugh, I'm tired,
Speaker 1: but like whatever, fine, So we start walking and we
Speaker 1: accidentally walked for twelve kilometers. That is not a sweet
Speaker 1: You're so sweet? How is that as sweet? Because it
Speaker 1: was I accidentally walked for twelve kilometers? Well, did you
Speaker 1: have an aneurysm? How the hell did you accidentally walk
Speaker 1: somewhere for twelve kilometers? I just felt yeah, okay, I'm weird.
Speaker 1: That is my sweet. I just felt really good because
Speaker 1: I was like, literally, nothing is happening in your life
Speaker 1: is what you've just proved. Imagine if you accidentally did
Speaker 1: twelve kilometers, how good you feel because you're like, I
Speaker 1: accidentally did it. Now, I've done it. Now dime to
Speaker 1: see that would never happen to me, because I'm the
Speaker 1: person that goes for a run and I'm like, yes,
Speaker 1: this has to be like five k's And then I
Speaker 1: look at my fitbit and I've run six hundred meters.
Speaker 1: You're at your letterbox. Everything hurts. That's me. I will
Speaker 1: never accidentally exercise more because I am acutely aware of
Speaker 1: how much i've exercised because every step hurt. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. Nothing good has happened to me this week,
Speaker 1: so that is it hasn't it's been. It's tough, like Shitna,
Speaker 1: it's not shit. Don't say that it could be better
Speaker 1: than patients. Have you diagnosed? Oh yeah, guys, Look BRIT's
Speaker 1: still working in hospital and she is right there on
Speaker 1: the front line with all this craziness, so she's allowed
Speaker 1: to have a bit more of a Debbie Downer than
Speaker 1: the rest of us. Yeah, I don't actually mean live shit.
Speaker 1: It's not like my life. My life is really really good.
Speaker 1: I'm very very lucky. I'm very prospective. It's perspective, but like, yes,
Speaker 1: that is as good as it got. This week was
Speaker 1: my accidental twelve kilometers. Tell me about your suck. So
Speaker 1: my suck was getting the USB stuck in the back
Speaker 1: of the road caster. That was really, really, really crap.
Speaker 1: That was like my tough guys. I just bought you
Speaker 1: and I can't stress this enough. I just bought this
Speaker 1: brand new possible podcasting equipment. It costs like almost two grand,
Speaker 1: and the first time we go to use it, I
Speaker 1: get the fucking USB jammed in the back of it
Speaker 1: like an absolute idiot. Yeah it was Laura. Laura goes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, can you believe I have done this?
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, yes, yes I can. Thanks
Speaker 1: for the support there, Brittany. And my suite, I have
Speaker 1: a couple of sweets. Oh break the rules?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 1: So my suite is us hitting a million? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: a million? One point one? One point one point one okay,
Speaker 1: one point we're in the one million club. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: in the one million club. And my other suite is
Speaker 1: if my other sweet was. Honestly, as much as being
Speaker 1: in isolation has been has been really challenging. It sometimes
Speaker 1: I he loved my Saturday night, Like Matt and I
Speaker 1: had the cutest Saturday night together. We had a proper
Speaker 1: date night and a boogie at home. We danced around
Speaker 1: our apartment for two hours together, and we drank Margarita's
Speaker 1: until we were both very drunk, and we just had
Speaker 1: such a good night. It made me realize that even
Speaker 1: though we can't go out, it doesn't mean that we
Speaker 1: can't still have fun together. And I thought this time
Speaker 1: would put a lot of pressure on us, and I
Speaker 1: thought that we would be bickering, and I thought that
Speaker 1: it would be difficult for us, but it's actually been
Speaker 1: really great for us, and I'm really grateful for it.
Speaker 1: That's really cute.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: I love that. Fore, I'm not grateful for Corona. I'm
Speaker 1: grateful for the extra time we get to spend together.
Speaker 1: And also, like Matt's lost all of his work, so
Speaker 1: it's really stressful for him. He was supposed to be
Speaker 1: filming Luxury Escapes at the moment. That's obviously being called
Speaker 1: off because it's a travel show. He can't be presenting
Speaker 1: with that at the moment, so he would have been away.
Speaker 1: He would have been away for the better half of
Speaker 1: the next three months. But now he's stuck at home
Speaker 1: with me. Sucker. I love having an unemployed boyfriend. It's great. Guys.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you so much,
Speaker 1: every single one of you that has and you have
Speaker 1: got us to the one million club. I am still
Speaker 1: shocks that that many of you want to listen to us,
Speaker 1: but we work a million downloads. That's freaking crazy, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did forget. I would like to change my suite
Speaker 1: from twelve kilometers to one million downloads. Please, so incredible, guys,
Speaker 1: We're so so grateful for every single person who has
Speaker 1: listened subscribe left a review. Some of the messages that

Speaker 1: This is like, I'm probably the thing I'm most proud
Speaker 1: of ever is making impact and doing this with you,
Speaker 1: creating this with you our friendship, Like who would have
Speaker 1: thought so When Britain I met we just like randomly
Speaker 1: met through the whole Bachelor franchise because we both had
Speaker 1: gone through the same similar experience and I reached out
Speaker 1: to her. Never in a million years do we think
Speaker 1: that we would start a podcast. Never in a million
Speaker 1: years do we think that once we'd started the podcast
Speaker 1: that you guys would listen to it on such a
Speaker 1: mass scale, and here we are. It's just incredible. And
Speaker 1: just to show you how far we've come, I had
Speaker 1: to go pick up something from Laura's house this morning.
Speaker 1: I waltzd on in and I saw some fresh hot
Speaker 1: Cross buns there and I was like, Laura, won't mine.
Speaker 1: Just pulled one out, got it out of the pantry,
Speaker 1: got myself some honey. You toasted it. She literally walked
Speaker 1: into my kitchen toasted herself a hot Cross bun. And
Speaker 1: I was like, this is how you know when you've
Speaker 1: got a real friend, when you can go to their
Speaker 1: fridge without us. And then she was like, have you
Speaker 1: got honey? Like, where's your honey in this house? I'm like, babe,
Speaker 1: it's right there in the pantry. Can help yourself please.
Speaker 1: I offered you if you wanted one to but you didn't.
Speaker 1: But guys, if you if you know somebody right now
Speaker 1: that you think might benefit from anything any of our
Speaker 1: episodes ever, or especially now, any of these episodes relating
Speaker 1: to Corona, relating to dating. If they just are feeling
Speaker 1: down and they need to laugh, tell them to listen
Speaker 1: to our bonus episode two weeks ago because it's literally
Speaker 1: it's made for laughter and it's just golden. It's our
Speaker 1: most embarrassing moments, so it's brilliant. But just share it
Speaker 1: with your friends because that's what helps us grow and
Speaker 1: we really, really really appreciate it. We read every single review.
Speaker 1: We like it makes our day when we read or
Speaker 1: we send them to each other, like it's sad, but
Speaker 1: we love it. But also just on what Britt said, like,
Speaker 1: if you know someone who is going through a hard time,
Speaker 1: maybe they're going through a breakup, maybe they're in a
Speaker 1: challenging relationship right now where they need to get out,
Speaker 1: or you know that that's not the right relationship for them,
Speaker 1: recommend it to those friends because this content is created
Speaker 1: for them. This content is created for people who are
Speaker 1: going through the ups and downs of life. And Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we can make a little bit of an impact
Speaker 1: in someone's life, then that's just exactly why we're doing this. Yeah,
