Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about your partner and if they
Speaker 1: were a piece of clothing, what would they be?
Speaker 2: I mean, I've thought about my partner heaps, but I've
Speaker 2: never thought they were a piece of clothing.
Speaker 1: Now, I know you think I'm crazy, but this is
Speaker 1: off the back of Logan Yuri's book How Not to
Speaker 1: Die Alone. Now if you've never heard of Logan Uri,
Speaker 1: she is an amazing author and a relationship expert. She's
Speaker 1: actually the relationship expert for Hinge. We have interviewed her
Speaker 1: on lifelun Cut podcasts, the podcast that Laura and I do.
Speaker 3: She's brilliant, she is amazing.
Speaker 2: She has a bit of an odd theory though, which
Speaker 2: I can't one hundred percent get my head around.
Speaker 1: She asks the question so when she does one on
Speaker 1: ones with a person, she says, to them, if your
Speaker 1: partner were a piece of clothing in your closet, something
Speaker 1: that you wear, what would they be? And the answer
Speaker 1: is supposed to be indicative of like your true deep
Speaker 1: feelings of them. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 1: some people might say when they think really deeply, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, they used to be like this big, beautiful,
Speaker 1: favorite woolen jumper, but now it's like it's been in
Speaker 1: a dryer too long and it's just itchy and scratches
Speaker 1: me all the time. And then they break down, and
Speaker 1: what that means in terms of okay, cool, the relationship
Speaker 1: has changed to a point that they're annoying.
Speaker 2: This really screams to me that we need to label
Speaker 2: things too much. There's too many labels. We've gone too far.
Speaker 2: Everything needs needs a terminology, everything needs to be psychoanalyzed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've never thought of my husband, prior to us talking
Speaker 2: about this of being a piece of clothing. I think
Speaker 2: it is really interesting.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great thought starter and a great
Speaker 1: conversation starter for your partners. So like, go home tonight
Speaker 1: or right now and ask your partner this question.
Speaker 3: I asked Ben this.
Speaker 1: We all everyone in the room when I ask their
Speaker 1: partners this, And I said to Ben.
Speaker 3: Don't overthink it.
Speaker 1: If I were a piece of clothing in your wardrobe,
Speaker 1: what would I be? And without missing a beat, he said,
Speaker 1: you would be my sneakers, sneakers.
Speaker 3: And my immediate thought was like, why are you trying
Speaker 3: to run away from me? No, I was like, why
Speaker 3: are you trying to walk all over me? Like I
Speaker 3: didn't you know. I was like, sneakers is weird? And
Speaker 3: I said, why would aver you sneakers?
Speaker 1: And he said, well, because you know, I have a
Speaker 1: sneaker fetish.
Speaker 3: He loves his sneakers.
Speaker 1: He's got a hunt pairs of shoes, he loves them,
Speaker 1: and he takes such good care of them.
Speaker 3: He said, you'd always be with me.
Speaker 1: I would always look after you because you're my favorite
Speaker 1: piece of clothing. So we got there in the end,
Speaker 1: and I thought that that was really wholesome.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I was going to describe Mat.
Speaker 2: I'd call him a linen shirt, specifically linen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's also because.
Speaker 2: He's always wearing linen shirts, so that that's what I
Speaker 2: think of as well. But also like breezy and like
Speaker 2: you know, like so comfortable and like great all seasons.
Speaker 1: I would say Ben would be a bodysuit because I
Speaker 1: want him close to me.
Speaker 3: No, okay, Producer Grays, you have no because we all
Speaker 3: heard what you said prior to him.
Speaker 2: That was, yeah, yeah, you know why you want him
Speaker 2: to be a bodysuit, right, What about you, Producer Grays,
Speaker 2: what would your partner be?
Speaker 4: I asked my wife what I would be, and she said,
Speaker 4: I would be a cute, sexy, little halt neck top
Speaker 4: and why I'm strappy, a bit unhinged, ready to fall apart.
Speaker 4: Looks really cute but isn't the most functional for all weather,
Speaker 4: but you love it anyway.
Speaker 3: I think that i'd.
Speaker 1: Actually such a brilliant, well thought answer, and it's just
Speaker 1: enough of a compliment. Sandwich like you're a little unhinged,
Speaker 1: like maybe you're gonna fall down a flash boob, but
Speaker 1: maybe you're.
Speaker 2: Not, like who knows, or have mental breakdown, who knows.
Speaker 3: There's so many of these.
Speaker 2: If you did think of a piece of clothing, or
Speaker 2: you asked your partner and they did call you a
Speaker 2: piece of clothing, go on to the pickup. We'll link
Speaker 2: the article so then you can figure it out. But
Speaker 2: there's things like, for example, statement belt, the person who
Speaker 2: adds flare and definition to otherwise ordinary situations. Blazer polish
Speaker 2: when needed, but can be thrown over, jeans for brunch.
Speaker 3: The reliable grown up who somehow.
Speaker 2: Manages to pay bills on timefe all knows how to
Speaker 2: have fun.
Speaker 3: This one the.
Speaker 1: Knockoff Gucci handbag looks impressive from a distance but falls
Speaker 1: apart under scrutiny like we will have been there.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised no one's describing me as that
