WEBVTT - Ask Uncut - Second Chances, A Cousin's Flirtatious Husband and Following Problematic Accounts

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>This episode was recorded on Cameragle Land. Hi guys, and

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to another episode of Life on Cut. I'm Laura.

0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 2>You sound like you forgot your name.

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Britney. Well you're like, I'm Lo. No, I know

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>who I am.

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm too confident in that. Yeah, after thirty nine years

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 3>on this planet.

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Funnily enough, because I've spent the last eighteen months not

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>knowing who I am. And I think that was evident

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>with my consistent hair changes every two months.

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>This is true.

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 3>We've been talking about what theme we should do for

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>your hens like that's got like a discussion recently, and

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 3>I haven't thrown this idea out into the group chat yet,

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 3>but I was going to say, why don't we just

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 3>dress up as like different versions of Britney.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 2>That is a brilliant idea. I was about to say,

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>we should put it out to the lifers to pick

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>a theme in the discussion group.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Everybody should be me.

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Brittany's been so many different versions of

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Brittany over the past sort of five years of me

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 3>knowing you. There's been literally, there's been many different forms

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 3>of mental breakdowns that have occurred.

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>All of them have manifested in different hairstyles.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 2>And also don't come for us and say we shouldn't

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>make light of mental breakdowns. We're not joking. I have

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 2>actually had them.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, so before anyone comes for us, we giggle about it.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Peopel like you shouldn't joke about this. We're like, oh,

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't clinically.

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>What version would you come as the one that didn't

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.119
<v Speaker 2>get out of bed? You could wrap a douner around

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 2>you and just come in a blanket.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like hair I miss, I could come as the

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>one ice cream tub.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the one where it's like late night Messina delivery

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>and you're just yeah in bed, I know exactly. That

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 3>version was the COVID version as well, was my favorite,

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 3>where you couldn't get out of bed for two weeks.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>That was fun. Or when you went through that period.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Where you cut your hair super short, right mate, all right,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 3>and then two weeks later got hair extensions down to

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 3>your ass. It was real rapid change. It's like emotional

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:49.559
<v Speaker 3>whiplash one day.

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>It's actually so funny.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>You had like an aggressive bob. I don't know if

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it was aggressive aggressive, it was blunt, blunt to the point.

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>You're lucky I almost cut a fring into that bomb.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>But I once did that and someone told me I

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the like lego man, so I didn't go back there.

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Park One, Yes, I looked, That's why I was channeling.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>You could dress up as that. Probably Actually you could

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.239
<v Speaker 2>dress up as a swamp donkey, as you so fondly

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>call me.

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.079
<v Speaker 1>You could come a Shrek theme. I could be.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Loved Park one swamp donkey.

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>They could be a Shrek what else?

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 3>And I was just comeing a bikini with seventeen other

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 3>bikinis hanging off my fingers.

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this is endearing anymore.

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 4>I could just wear my own clothes because now we

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 4>have morphed into the same person who owns the same things.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 4>And last week Britt brought this brand new pair of

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 4>sunglasses and she was like, oh, I got this new

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 4>pair of sunnies and she went to put them on

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 4>her face and I was like, I bought these a

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 4>year ago, Ben bought them for Mekis.

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>She's like, I already owned those.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I used to copy you.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 4>More, but I feel like now we're kind of evening.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>We are closed to even This is when you spend

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>too much time with someone and you start you start

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>to assimilate into like the way that they dress, or

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>like replicate the things that they do, or they're mad.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I think it's brilliant.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>There could be something in that, and not because I

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 2>want you guys to dress with me, but because there

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>have been so many versions of me that it could

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:09.839
<v Speaker 2>definitely be a thing.

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Well for you, it's like for you, like for me,

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 3>there's been only two versions pregnant not pregnant.

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been identical.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't change my hairstastes the same, my style of clothes,

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 3>stay the same, everything is consistent.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm just a bigger version and a smaller version.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I was about to make a really bad joke that

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you would find funny, but everyone else would think I'm

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 2>a bully, So to go, Ready, say I could.

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Just wear a bald cap ah, you know that canceller.

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go. That's why I can make the joke.

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go with a canceled version of Britz.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So that'll be fun to sign on. This is canceled,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>all right.

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, look, there is something that we have been talking

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 3>about on every ask on cut for the last three weeks,

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 3>and it's really taken over this podcast.

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel really bad. You're not bald. That was just

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>it was funny in my hand. Oh, now you feel

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>bad about it, don't you know?

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Because sometimes I make jokes when it's there's an opportunity,

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 2>but then people think I'm serious, you're not bald, which

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 2>is why I can make it. But that was funny,

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and I only said it because I have a bald

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>cap at home.

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the opposite. I think you can make

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the joke because I am baled.

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Hang on a second, why I have a bald cap

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>just for fun?

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I have one as well. I have a book. I

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>have two bald caps at home.

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 3>One time that night we had to create a skit

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 3>pretending that we were Jason Statham, and so we have

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 3>multiple balld caps at home. It is actually shocking how

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 3>much weird stuff we have in two separate costume boxes,

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 3>and not like sexy costume boxes.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Matt. It's got like an arrange, like.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 3>A full assortment of wigs that he uses for all

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 3>of the skits he does. And like women's clothes which

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 3>were just my clothes that have somehow made it into

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>the costume box because he wears them and.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 4>I think you're the only adults that I know with

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 4>a costume box.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Nah, I have a dress up, but I'm a dress

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>up pomp. I just pulled a muscle because I laughed

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>so hard at my own joke. I just pulled a

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 2>rib muscle. Okay, all right, let's get back on track.

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.559
<v Speaker 3>The thing that we haveken about for the past three

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 3>weeks is how did chickens get fertilized?

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 1>How did the eggs of chickens get fertilized?

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 3>If you didn't listen to last week's ask gun cart

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 3>all the week before, basically once again, it was that

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I had a very late realization in life that I've

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 3>came to the understanding that chicken eggs are fertilized because

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 3>chickens actually get down and you know, do the deed,

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 3>rather than just a big male chicken coming along and

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 3>fertilizing the egg afterwards.

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Still shocking. I know, I know.

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 3>We've received so many messages because the call out that

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 3>we asked last week was what was the outrageous thing

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 3>that you discovered far too late in life? Like the

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 3>thing that you should know that you should have probably

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 3>discovered when you were a child. You found out when

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 3>you're in your twenties or your thirties, or maybe even today,

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 3>and we have received some truly shocking ones and you

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 3>should all be embarrassed by how dumb we all are.

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Twenty three, my girlfriend learned that tigers and lions are

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 3>different species, not male and female.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, there are animals called a liger. Yeah,

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>so that.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Has nothing to do with this and tigers and bears.

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my, okay, that this little piggy went to market

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>was actually getting slaughtered.

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I actually didn't even think about that either.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>This little piggy stayed home. This little piggy went to market,

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just thought I.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Was going to get like the groceries for the week.

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 3>That's what most kids think. But no, that little piggy

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 3>was getting chopped up.

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>How is that a nursery rhyme?

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm surekar nursery rhymes are actually particularly dark, you know, ring,

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.119
<v Speaker 3>ring of rosies, like about the black plate or something.

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>It's about is it getting sick? Yeah?

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 3>Ring and ring a rosy, a part full of posies,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 3>a tissue with tissue, we all fall down, we're dead.

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It's about it's about getting like an.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Awful thirty seven is the age that you learned that.

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that we've grown up singing. We used

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to hold hands and go around in a circle. Yeah,

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and then people would fall down.

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god dead.

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is a good one.

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 3>This is upsetting because this is also Keisha's revelation that

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.799
<v Speaker 3>thunder is actually the sound of lightning.

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Keisha thought they were two separate No, she actually said,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were too completely separate weather events.

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 4>I said, whether they were independent weather events that sometimes

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 4>come incided. And I'm still confused because you guys are

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 4>talking about distance and that's how you can tell how

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 4>by the way the lightning is. And I was like,

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 4>but what about it when there's no lightning and you

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 4>just hear lighting?

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me rumble far away. Okay, I've got another one

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>for you.

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 3>That Africa was not actually a country and that there were,

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 3>in fact, lots of countries in Africa. That's just someone

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 3>who did really bad at geography. Like that's someone who

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 3>needs a world map.

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>All right. Peanuts grow in the ground, not on a tree.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>If you asked me twenty minutes ago where a peanut grows,

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have been able to tell you.

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're in the ground like potatoes.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that. Yeah, but I didn't know. I

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't think anything else. I just actually don't even know

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>where a peanut comes from.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>All right, reindeeres are actually a real animal.

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I've seen them.

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And lastly, bacon and ham come from the same animal.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting as an adult to not have known that peaks.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Are particularly like resourceful. They do pork belly, they do ham,

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 4>they do bacon. What can't they do prosrudo? They do

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 4>presudo bee shootero, they can't do beef.

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Let's get into our lives and unsubscribes, Britt, what is

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 3>your vibe or unsubscribe for the week?

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>My unsubscribe is actually just it's something that's made me angry.

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 2>It's not something I'm literally unsubscribing from, which obviously is

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the point of this discussion. But I have been looking

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>for a very long time at rentals rental properties, and

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I am unsubscribing from the number of times you look

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>online and you're like, this is brilliant. Look how big

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 2>this space is. There's all these beautiful furniture in the photo.

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Then you turn up to the inspection and in fact

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>it is a shoe box that had superimposed furniture that

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>was like shrunk down. It's like a mini little house.

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>But in the pictures you think you're led to believe

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 2>that this is going to be the most beautiful property.

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>It has all this space. Look at the outlook. Sometimes

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>they photo shop like ocean in the background. Yeah, they

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>offer window and I'm like, hang on, this is in redfern,

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh where's the ocean.

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It is very.

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Confusing because it seems counterintuitive real estates do this because

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.599
<v Speaker 3>you get there and you're just bitterly disappointed.

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember we went to to be fair.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Though maybe they just think it's so dire that if

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 3>they get you in the door and you've got not

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 3>many other options, even if the house is so underwhelming,

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 3>you'll just at least apply for it, which.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Is so so so sad. But it is dire because

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 2>that's happened. You get there and there's still thirty other

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>people begging for the property.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well we went to one. This is ages ago.

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 3>We went to one in Bronti and it's the house

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 3>we ended up living in. So we did apply for it.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 3>But in pictures it looked ridiculously immaculate, had such a

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 3>beautiful green grass in the backyard and like, Matt, love's

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 3>a lawn. And then we got there to the inspection,

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 3>it was just dirt and it was because they photoshop

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 3>grass in. It was completely fake grass. And that was

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 3>the most disappointing thing for Matt. He couldn't get over it.

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>He still applied to it worked no.

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Because for years he tried to grow the grass in

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the backyard. Turns out you can't in that property.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Is I went to one that had an amazing garden,

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like it was huge. The grass was also lushes loads

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of plants, and I was like, perfect, obviously I have Delilah.

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I get there and it's tiniest yard. It's like two

0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>by two. It's like fake astrotope. Wait, what is your unsubscribed?

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>People faking rental listing? Just people faking like the photos

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.439
<v Speaker 2>on rental listings. Just you're wasting so many people's time.

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's just put up the real photos. Let's call a

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 2>spatu spade. If it's a two by two that doesn't

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 2>fit a dining room table, say it's a two by two,

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 2>don't shrink down the furniture and supermpose it into the picture.

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, Kisha what is your viber unsubscribed?

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 4>My Vibe is a podcast that I have been listening

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 4>to for the past couple probably maybe four months, and

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 4>they release a bunch of different episodes under the one

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>podcast title, so it can be a little bit confusing.

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 4>I have recommended prof G pods before. Prof G stands

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 4>for Professor Scott Galloway. He's a professor of marketing and business,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 4>and he has a lot of different types of podcasts.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a massive podcast during the US.

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 4>I think that last year they had like thirty eight

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 4>million downloads, just to give you a bit of an

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 4>idea of the scale of them. But he'll have, for example,

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 4>a podcast about politics, and he'll have one where he

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of just talks about whatever he wants to talk about.

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 4>He'll have one where he interviews people, and this one

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 4>is Prof G Markets.

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Now. I am not a finance.

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Girlie, but I really realized towards the end of last

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 4>year that I actually had almost no literacy in that space.

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Like I just I never understood the jargon, and I

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 4>really didn't have any idea what you know, financial reports

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>are talking about, or stocks or any of that kind

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 4>of thing. So I started listening to this podcast because

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 4>I find it quite easy to pay attention to, I

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 4>guess because they talk about things like the market of

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 4>the TikTok shutdown, and they talk about other things that

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 4>are happening in the pop culture space, but how that's

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 4>reflected in finance. So, for example, they spoke about a

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks ago, must have been maybe start of January,

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 4>they spoke about how there has been this global downturn

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 4>in alcohol sales and that is reflective of the fact

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 4>that culturally we are starting to drink less, you know,

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 4>And so I find it really palatable in that sense.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 4>And I'm not someone who who is like literate in

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 4>that space. So if you also are kind of interested

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 4>in how you know the TikTok shutdown could affect global markets,

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 4>I guess. He also did one on predictions for how

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 4>media was going to be affected in twenty twenty five,

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 4>so which I obviously found very interesting. So, yeah, if

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 4>you're into that kind of thing, or maybe you kind

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 4>of want to dip your toe in, I have found

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 4>this a really palatable way to kind of start increasing

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 4>my exposure to this, and I'm thinking that I will

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 4>just gradually get a little bit better at it as

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of absorbing more and more. So he does

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 4>it with a guy called ed Elson, and ed is

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 4>quite young and he's British. I think he's like twenty six,

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.840
<v Speaker 4>whereas Scott would be I think he's fifty.

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>He had a fiftieth birthday recently.

0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 4>So they have this really good like dichotomy of what

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 4>they're interested in in their life experiences as well. So

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>he's quite progressive for someone who is as rich as

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.319
<v Speaker 4>he is as wells, which I find nicer listen to,

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 4>sounds great. Yeah, so prof G markets All of the

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 4>PROFERG podcasts I do enjoy, but yeah, that one in particular,

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.960
<v Speaker 4>if you want to get a little bit more financial literacy.

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I have a clothing brand recommendation for you guys today,

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and it is one that I'm not currently wearing, which

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>was silly, but I have been wearing it almost every

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 3>day and I've gotten so many questions about it. If

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 3>you are after like a cool oversized tea, or you

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 3>really like patent pants, or like just things that you

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 3>can wear on the reg every day and it looks

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 3>like you've put effort into what you're wearing, but actually

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 3>you could have rolled out of your bed, which is

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 3>pretty much my style personified. It's a brand called king Acilla.

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 3>They've just brought out a new collection, and I have

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 3>so many pieces from their new collection, but particularly I

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 3>think it's quite hard to find a good quality oversized

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>tea that washes really well because a lot of them,

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 3>you receive them and they've got like a great graphic

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 3>print when you buy them online, but the print itself

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 3>is that real plasticy shit print comes off well, doesn't

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 3>come off, but it's just like it doesn't feel soft,

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, It's like it's not a proper screen print.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 3>The fabrics in these are beautiful, Like I've had a

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 3>few pieces from them in the past, but like I've

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 3>got this great matching set which I've worn all summer,

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 3>took it on the cruise with me, and I just

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 3>really love the brand. And I feel like I've now

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 3>purchased and have so many pieces from them, and particularly

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 3>from this new collection, and I think it's really hard

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 3>to find brands that are hard wearing. I mean, it's

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 3>not super expensive, but it's definitely not like on your cheap,

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 3>cheap side, But I would say that they're pieces that

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 3>you will get so much wear out and they wash

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 3>really well. So if you're after good quality printed teas,

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the best, I have to have a look King Ascilla.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I've just googled.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Also Australian business which we love, female founded business as well.

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure. Anyway, let's get into these questions, all right.

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Question number one, do I tell my husband about my

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 3>past dating life, including women? My husband and I are

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.960
<v Speaker 3>happily married with kids. We've been together for about eight

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 3>years now. He's a pretty open guy generally speaking, but

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 3>we are from a conservative city, so I do sometimes

0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>hear comments from him and his family to suggest otherwise.

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I listened to your episode yesterday about talking about your

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>past relationships. My husband has never wanted to hear about

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 3>my past relationships, nor has he shared much about him.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 3>So here's one thing. My past few years of relationships

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 3>before we got together were with women, one of which

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I lived with. I have no issue with my sexuality,

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 3>but the years of not sharing these details with him

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 3>have made this into a bigger deal in my head,

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 3>and I feel like if you found out now, it

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>would be a bit of a shock to him. So

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>my question is, should I tell my husband I like

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 3>pussy or just leave it.

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a I think this is an

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>interesting question because to me, this doesn't feel different to

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 2>the questions we've answered previously about do you have to

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>tell someone about your past? Like do you have to

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 2>tell a current partner about your past? I don't think

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>it matters so much if it's a woman or a man.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>If you want to talk about it, talk about it.

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 2>If you don't want to talk about it, you don't

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>have to talk about it. If he doesn't want to

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>hear it, you don't have to force it upon him.

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if he's not inquiring, you don't have to give

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 3>him information.

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Est I love pussy. It's like just to sit out

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and pussy like.

0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>You definitely don't have to do that, the same as

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you don't go I need to tell you I have

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 2>suck some dick in the us, Like, you don't have

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>to have those conversations unless it's something about you that

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 2>you genuinely want to discuss, like that part of your life.

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Because I we've said this before, I'll say it again,

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>but I'll keep it brief. I like to talk about

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 2>my past with my partners, and I like to know

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 2>about their past. Not for any other reason then I'm curious,

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 2>but I also respect that Ben doesn't want to hear

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>about it. You don't have to feel this pressure to

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about it just because it was a female and

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 2>a same sex relationship.

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 3>You must have been when you first started dating your husband.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 3>There must have been some concern that maybe he would

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 3>judge you, or that there might not be a positive

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 3>reaction for you to have completely omitted those details, because

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 3>it's not like that's not like, oh, I just didn't

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>talk about my exes, like like that's a whole different

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 3>life that you just kind of were like, well, we'll

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 3>just not ever speak about it.

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And not because it's a woman, but because like you

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 2>were living with your partner totally, like it was so

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>serious that you were living together. So it's usually like

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>when you start dating someone, the first thing is like, like, so,

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>what when was your last relationship?

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Or I mean because she's a woman, And I guess

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 3>it's because like never ever speaking about that side of

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 3>you means that he's probably just made the assumption that

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 3>you're totally heterosexual, which you may view yourself that as that. Now,

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 3>like who knows what label it is that you prefer

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 3>to use to describe yourself but you may also consider

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.239
<v Speaker 3>yourself to be bisexual, which would probably be evident by

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you lived with your partner for a

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 3>year and she was a female. There's no judgment in

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 3>saying this. It's purely just because, like it's hard for

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 3>me to get my head around. It seems crazy to

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 3>me that your husband doesn't know that about you.

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Because it's a big part of your It's a big.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Part of potentially who you are. Or maybe it's not

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a big part.

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Like I mean, everyone's sexuality is on a scale of

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 3>how important it is to them, right, Like, it's very

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 3>different for every single person. I would say, at this point,

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.360
<v Speaker 3>you've been together for eight years, don't listen to our

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 3>podcast and then turn around and go, well, the girl

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 3>said I should talk about my past, So I'm gonna

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 3>go and tell my husband that, you know what, I

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 3>used to live with a woman named Sarah. You don't

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 3>have to tell him. If you think that that's going

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.400
<v Speaker 3>to potentially not be received, well, firstly, that's a whole

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 3>other thing.

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 1>That's a real shame, and like that is something that

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>probably should be unpacked, Like if your partner has a

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.239
<v Speaker 1>bias towards that, or if he has negative feelings about that,

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>because the reality is the person that you were eight

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>years ago and the relationship that you're in doesn't have

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>an impact on the relationship you're in now, so he

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.239
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have any negative feelings about it all other than Hey,

0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I wish you told me that. That's weird that you

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell me that earlier. I would have loved to

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>have known that about you.

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I when I'm thinking if this was me, I always

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 2>do this role reversal. If I was with Ben now

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 2>for eight years, or even now after two years. If

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.399
<v Speaker 2>I was with Ben for eight years and then I

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 2>found out that he was in a same sex relationship

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>lived with the person like right before me for years,

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't bother me that he was in the gay relationship,

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 2>but I'd be like, bro, I was like eight how

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 2>has this not come up?

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like eight years deep.

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Just because it's your past relationship and I didn't know

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>you had ever been in a same sex relationship, I

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 2>would be more shocked at the fact he hadn't told

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 2>me than the fact that that was the situation.

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think following on from that, Britt, I

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 3>would also probably feel as though, Hey is the reason

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 3>why you didn't tell me because you assumed I would judge,

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And is that the person that you think I am.

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. In my mind.

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, unless you really really feel as though you

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 3>need to tell him, like you have reached nirvana and

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 3>you're like, my husband must know about my past, I

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 3>don't think it's necessary. But also it's not a big deal,

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Like if you do tell him, the reaction from him

0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.399
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be like a freak out, and if it is

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 3>freak out, that's a totally different conversation.

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder why you feel like this has come

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.400
<v Speaker 2>up now, Like I know you said, it's just you're

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 2>turning it into a bigger deal in your head. Has

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>something come up now? Has there been a conversation where

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:49.920
<v Speaker 2>you think it wouldn't be taken well and now you're

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.919
<v Speaker 2>overthinking it because it seems like a strange time to

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.199
<v Speaker 2>have for this issue to have sort of risen to

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the top. Well.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 3>No, she listened to our podcast episode about how we

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.479
<v Speaker 3>spoke about not be to your current partners about your exes,

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 3>and that's why I'm saying.

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't listen to us. Do whatever's right for you and

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>your relationship.

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.399
<v Speaker 2>But also if the moment ever comes up now or

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in four years and there's a conversation about an X

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 2>or something, just drop it like it's nothing Like I would.

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.679
<v Speaker 2>I'd just be like, oh, when I was living with Sally,

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>we used to split bills like this, Like however it

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 2>comes up, just say it and he'll be like, who's

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Sally and you're like the pussy that I love? Like

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I would just not make it.

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>A big deal because it's it's not a big deal.

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 3>Do you gaslight and be like you knew that I

0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 3>told you about Sally ages ago?

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 2>You know you loved Sally.

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Just gasline I told you when we were dating. Yeah,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, no, don't do that.

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It's lying that is interesting to me. I don't think

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I have ever dated somebody ever in the history of

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 2>dating at the start where I haven't wanted to know

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.679
<v Speaker 2>like their past relationship at least, like why it ended,

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 2>how long ago it was, how long they were together.

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Like I feel like that is important for me when

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm dating, because did you break up with them yesterday?

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Was it five years ago? Have you ever been in

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>a serious relationship? Like for me, that's a pretty baseline

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>conversation I have with people totally.

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I know every single one of my ex boyfriends. I

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 3>know who they dated and where they live.

0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I also know their phone number, pager I sent them

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 2>by a carrier.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Pintuond they were in like a long term relationship prior

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>to me, Like I know who that long term.

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who, Like he has a seafood allergy?

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we know. Still I don't know the people that

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>they slept with on like a random Friday night. Obviously,

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>did they're in a long term relationship? Shut up?

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Or Laura handed me the shovel here because you're just

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 2>digging your hole.

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh dear, it was an intolerance, actually, seafood.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 2>In tolerance, not allergy. Okay, I'm going to the next question.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Question two.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, question two. My cousin Shelley. These are fake names

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 2>because she's put them in funny years. My cousin Shelley

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and her husband Dean have been together for fourteen years

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 2>and have three kids.

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>She could have just left the names out all together.

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 2>I think it's easier when you've got names Shelly and Dean. Yeah,

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 2>my husband Shelley, her husband Dino. They've been together for

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 2>fourteen years. And have three kids. Recently, they've joked about

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:19.639
<v Speaker 2>separation and divorces recently, can you joke about it's an

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 2>unusual joke?

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 2>My husband and I also have kids and often catch

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 2>up with them. Over the past few weeks, Dean has

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>started messaging me, saying Shelley didn't want him to talk

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to me, but he needed to tell me something in person.

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I ignored him at first, thinking it was a bit strange,

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 2>but he kept insisting. I assumed that he'd found out

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.400
<v Speaker 2>something about my husband, as our relationship has also been

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>very rocky. Today, when we caught up, Dean told me

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that he and Shelley were essentially separated, but justine together

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 2>for the kids. He said he'd been unhappy for years

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:55.679
<v Speaker 2>and felt happy and comfortable around me, repeatedly complimenting me

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and saying he just really likes to be around me.

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 2>It's clear that he has for me. I've tried to

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 2>shut it down, reminding him that he and Shelley have

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 2>been through a lot, and also we're family. I'm not

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.360
<v Speaker 2>sure how to handle this. Do I tell Shelley my cousin,

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>what happened. I don't want her to think I'm betraying

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>her or that I have eeling intensions. I do feel

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.439
<v Speaker 2>blindsided and thrown into their drama. Our family can be

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty intense and if this gets out, it'll likely cause

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.479
<v Speaker 2>a huge mess, and I don't want to hurt my cousin.

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 2>What's the right thing to do?

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I think there is shutting things down and thinking you've

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 1>shut things down, because if he's still messaging you, if

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he's still like, I have feelings for you blah blah

0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah.

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Then he must think that there is some sort of

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 3>opportunity or option there. I guess my question is is

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 3>how kindly did you shut it down? How kindly did

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 3>you say, oh, I'm not interested.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Sorry.

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I really want to be careful this because I don't

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:51.239
<v Speaker 3>want this to come across as judgment on you that

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 3>you've done anything wrong.

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:53.439
<v Speaker 1>You absolutely haven't.

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 3>But if he is not getting it from what you've

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 3>said to him, it's not your responsibility to take on

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.679
<v Speaker 3>the burden of his actions. And I think sometimes we

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 3>have to be more than clear, and by being more

0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.879
<v Speaker 3>than clear, sometimes it might mean that you have to

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.720
<v Speaker 3>be rude and tell him that you are not interested

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 3>and he has absolutely stepped the line and crossed the

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:14.920
<v Speaker 3>line in this and put you in a situation that

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:16.160
<v Speaker 3>you feel uncomfortable by.

0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but do you tell your husband and do you

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 2>tell your cousin?

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I would tell my husband for sure, what about your cousin.

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I would have a conversation with Matt first. I would

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 3>have a conversation with him and be like, Hey, this

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 3>is what's happened. I don't know what is the best

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 3>way for us to navigate this, And then I would

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of feel that out with him first, because first

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 3>and foremost, like the two of you are a team.

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.119
<v Speaker 3>And I know you've said that you're you're rocky and

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 3>that there's been some drama going on there, But if

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 3>you actually want your relationship to work out and you

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.919
<v Speaker 3>you know, because every single couple goes through rocky patches,

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 3>and if you've been to other for fifteen years, it's

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 3>probably no surprise that you're going through some sort of,

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, turbulence. I would have a conversation with him,

0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 3>figure out what was the next plan of action, and

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 3>and whether that is tell your cousin or not. The

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:04.399
<v Speaker 3>absolute first point of call is to make sure that

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 3>this is shut down in a way that isn't being

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 3>super overly polite. It's just like, this needs to stop.

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Don't message me. I don't want anything to do with

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 3>this drama. And it's so inappropriate. Like if it was

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 3>a friend of a friend and there was like many

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 3>levels of separation, I would say, oh, just leave it.

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that this is happening from within your family.

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Not only is it your cousin, she's also a really

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 3>good friend of yours. This is just so fucking messy

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.199
<v Speaker 3>and it's going to blow up in your face if

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:30.120
<v Speaker 3>you don't manage it well.

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I would I agree with everything you said, but I

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 2>would also tell my cousin. I would tell Shelly if

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 2>her if my cousin's husband made a pass at me.

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>It goes beyond inappropriately making a pass. It's also going

0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to have a flow on effect into every family event

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you ever have, Like you are going to feel uncomfortable constantly.

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>You're going to have told your husband who is Then

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>if he doesn't say anything, it's also going to be uncomfortable.

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know many people in that situation where

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the husband wouldn't go and say something someone else in

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the family was making a pass at your wife. Most

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:06.520
<v Speaker 2>people would go and say like, back off, what do

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>you think you're doing? And it will turn into something

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.479
<v Speaker 2>I would go and I would have the conversation with

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 2>my partner, but I would go and say to my cousin,

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I think you deserve to know this, and I don't

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 2>want this to be misconstrued down the track in any

0:26:18.359 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 2>way that I had any interest in it. Dean said

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:23.880
<v Speaker 2>this to me. I've never made him feel that way.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 2>I shut it down straight away, but I think it's

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 2>important that.

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>You know that he said that, because I would want

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 1>to tricky, because you were just like, regardless of how

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that then unfolds, you are blowing that situation up. And

0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>when he's blown it up, yeah, it's not you. You're

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the messenger who's going to get shot, though unfortunately I

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 1>don't think you will get if you are that.

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll get your more risk of getting shot

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 2>if you keep this a secret and it manifest and

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>it's like, why the hell didn't you tell me this,

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 2>and it looks like something secret has been going on.

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I think in these situations, being really upfront straight away,

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>like I came straight to you to tell you I

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 2>have zero interest. I do not know where this has

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 2>come from. Obviously there's something going on with you guys,

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 2>and he's confused, but I think you should know. And

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be involved, and I've made that clear,

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 2>but like as my friend and my cousin, you deserve

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to know that this happened, and I'm sorry.

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 3>The only problem with this is and I know that

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 3>for whoever it is that's written this question in I'm

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.080
<v Speaker 3>so sorry you're going through this. Sometimes what happens in these

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 3>types of instances when you are the person who gives

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 3>the information, sometimes it can actually mean that that couple

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:31.479
<v Speaker 3>repairs their relationship, right. So instead of your cousin believing you,

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 3>he might say, you know, I did it for this,

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 3>this and this reasons. I love you, I'm so sorry,

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I never want us to be a part blah blah blah.

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 3>And it in the short term anyway, fixes not fixes,

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 3>but it pushes them back together because they want to

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 3>fix it, right, And it means that you get shunned.

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 3>So regardless of how you have this conversation, to some extent,

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 3>it is going to impact your relationship with your cousin.

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 3>She's not going to be able to just turn around

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 3>and be like, oh, that's cool, let's hang out on Tuesday,

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:58.880
<v Speaker 3>like I love you, It's fine. There will be feelings

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 3>of betrayal, of jealous of all of that stuff and

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 3>all that junk that you guys might have to work through.

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:06.919
<v Speaker 3>And so I mean, like I said, I agree with

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 3>you as well, brit I just don't know if I

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I could do it.

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could have. I wonder whether

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I would face it as front on as you are

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 1>saying you would, or whether I would just have the

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 1>conversation with him and my husband, which I know is triangulating,

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and I know that that is not necessarily the bravest

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:25.119
<v Speaker 1>way of going about it.

0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:27.360
<v Speaker 3>But I worry about the flow on and how much

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.679
<v Speaker 3>impact this will have on the family if everyone is

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 3>kind of involved.

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and if you've listened to this podcast, like from

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the beginning, these types of questions have come up a lot,

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and my answers would have changed dramatically over the years.

0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Four or five years ago, if you asked me, I

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 2>probably would have said, don't touch it, don't get involved.

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>It's messy.

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 2>But I feel like I'm evolving and I would love

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to evolve with the podcast. It's different for me now

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I can look at this in two different ways. Okay,

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 2>what would I want to know in that situation? And

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 2>what do I think the flow on effect is? I

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 2>have seen so many times in these situations. Imagine if

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you did triangulate, not intentionally, but if you're like I

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 2>don't want to tell her, I'm going to tell him

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to back off. I'm going to talk about it to

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>my husband. My husband might possibly talk to him. When

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 2>these things inevitably come out, which they do in some

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 2>form down the track, it's going to be ten times worse.

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.880
<v Speaker 2>That's why I think it's better now to protect yourself early.

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And you don't have.

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 2>To make it a big deal, and you might not

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 2>want to also, fine, I just think it's what I

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 2>would do. I would say I don't want this to

0:29:27.400 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 2>ever be misconstrued that I led anything on, that I

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>was involved, that I wanted it, that I made advances.

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:34.480
<v Speaker 1>This happened.

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel uncomfortable, and you deserve to know. Do with

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 2>it what you will. Five years ago I wouldn't have

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 2>done that, but that's where I'm at now because I

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 2>think does the benefit exceed the risk? That's what you

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 2>always have to think when you're making these decisions, And

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I truly don't think that these things stay a secret forever.

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't whether it's one year or five years, something

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 2>will eventually come out.

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, it means it sounds like their relationships in

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 3>the pits anyway, to be honest, But I wonder if

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 3>she's aware just how in the pits it is. Because

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 3>he can say, oh, we're pretty much separated. I wonder

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 3>if she feels like they're pretty much separated. That's the

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 3>question I want to know.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Fuck, if your husband is hitting on your cousin, you

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 2>should know. I'm just thinking now, like if my family,

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>if my family members knew that Ben was hitting on

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>my cousins and no one told me, it would be said.

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>It would be so much worse.

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 2>It would be so much worse because I'd be like,

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 2>why am I the only person that doesn't know when

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm the only person that needs to know.

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, I absolutely agree with you. I hate drama.

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I would just fucking not hang out with them anymore.

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:39.959
<v Speaker 1>That would probably be how I would deal with it too.

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>But then she'll be like why yeah, true, No, all right,

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>next question.

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 3>One of my closest friends has a toxic relationship with

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:50.600
<v Speaker 3>her toddler's father. He abandoned her around the time of

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 3>the birth, and for the first year of the child's

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 3>life he was pretty much non existent. He has a

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 3>drinking problem, has cheated on her, has said some really

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 3>fucking vile thing, and he even got her pregnant again

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 3>while having another girlfriend on the side.

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 2>What a catch?

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 1>What a catch?

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.600
<v Speaker 3>As you can imagine, I've been there for all of

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 3>this and stepped in during his absence a lot.

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I obviously hate his guts.

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 3>After being away from him for some time and her

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 3>finally getting her life back together, he has come crawling

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 3>back in and now they are back on and living together.

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I physically cannot bring myself to support this anymore. And

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 3>I feel awful because I have distanced myself entirely for

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 3>months now. Am I the one being selfish? And should

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I give him another chance?

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Because she is? I haven't told her how I feel,

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>but my silence and absence, I would think, speaks volumes,

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and hers does too. How do I handle this? Oh

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>so messy?

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Her silence is because she knows, she feels shameful, she

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 3>feels embarrassed.

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she knows you're right, she.

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Knows that you know everything she knows that it's unfathomable

0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 3>why she would give him another chance, even she doesn't

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 3>understand why she's giving him another chance, but she is

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 3>because she probably is so desperate for it to be

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 3>the exception that this time will be different. But there

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 3>is a level of embarrassment which makes you push your

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.280
<v Speaker 3>friends away when you go back to someone who, it's

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 3>so obvious, is just hurting you.

0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard.

0:32:11.200 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like a double edged sword because you want to

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 2>be there for your friend, and it's so important that

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>you are there for your friend, and you have been

0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 2>there for your friend, but there also comes a time

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 2>where you need to start protecting yourself. There's only so

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 2>much you can put yourself through for somebody else, especially

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 2>if they're making the choice to put themselves back into

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the situation that they're in. It actually sounds like you're

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 2>an incredible friend, like you stepped up to your friend's

0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 2>life when she had newborns and was alone, and sounds

0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 2>like you're really involved, which is amazing, and it must

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>be really hard to watch your friend go back into

0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 2>that situation. But you don't have to continuously be there

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 2>for somebody that doesn't want to help themselves, and I

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 2>don't want that to be taken the way. What I

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>think you need to do is let her know that

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 2>you will be there for her if she needs you,

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>but you can't support him, And like once, you've seen

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>what the damage that he did to her, and you

0:33:05.920 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 2>were the one that was there, You were the one

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 2>that she was falling on for years. Sometimes people can't

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 2>see it themselves. And there's a chance that she's so

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:16.040
<v Speaker 2>desperate for the family unit that most people crave. He

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.600
<v Speaker 2>is the father of her kids, so people give a

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 2>lot more leniency when it's the father or the mother

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 2>of the children. They always do and they most likely

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 2>always will. And we also know that people take an

0:33:26.720 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>average of seven times to leave a relationship that is

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.400
<v Speaker 2>toxic like that as well, So I think you need

0:33:31.400 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 2>to give her a bit of grace and understanding. Having

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 2>said that, that does not mean you need to put

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 2>yourself in these situations that you don't want. I would

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 2>say to her, I will be here for you, but

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I think you can be honest. I cannot support the

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 2>relationship when I've seen the damage he has done for you.

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But I don't want you to think I'm abandoning you.

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I just can't physically be around him.

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it's quite tricky because I definitely don't and

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 3>I know it's not how you meant it, Brit, but

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I just kind of want to like comment on it

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.080
<v Speaker 3>for a second. It's very easy to dismiss people who

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:02.200
<v Speaker 3>are in very toxic or violence relationships as I can't

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 3>help you if you're not going to help yourself, because

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 3>we know that it is so fucking hard not just

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:09.920
<v Speaker 3>to leave, but like the going back, there is such

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 3>a stranglehold that the perpetrator has on the person who

0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 3>is the victim in this situation. You don't know the

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 3>intricacies of the conversations they've had.

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.759
<v Speaker 1>You don't know the manipulation. Like I know that you

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:21.719
<v Speaker 1>know a lot.

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 3>And obviously you've been privy to some of his abuse,

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>but you're not privy to everything and to the nuance

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 3>of how he has that stranglehold on her.

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the one thing.

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 3>I absolutely agree with what you said, Britt, is that

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 3>it's so important to have the conversation of I will

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:40.440
<v Speaker 3>always be here for you if you need something, if

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:42.880
<v Speaker 3>you need me, I can help you, and if you

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 3>need to get out of this relationship, you have a

0:34:45.000 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 3>place to come to you that's safe, like I will

0:34:47.080 --> 0:34:49.279
<v Speaker 3>always be here, But it doesn't mean that you have

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 3>to be there every single day trying to put the

0:34:51.160 --> 0:34:53.879
<v Speaker 3>pieces back together for somebody who's in a really, really

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 3>awful situation, and it's sometimes it's not possible to do that. Also,

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 3>sometimes knowing that they have you there but not being

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 3>the person to constantly run to to tell every single

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.439
<v Speaker 3>thing too, it means that they do have to deal

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.040
<v Speaker 3>with those big moments on their own, and dealing with

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 3>it on their own also sometimes is like when they

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.280
<v Speaker 3>can start to see all the pieces coming together and go, Okay,

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 3>this is actually a really really awful situation that I'm in.

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 3>I do feel for anybody who finds themselves being the

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:26.000
<v Speaker 3>constant sounding board for a relationship that's so toxic, because

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 3>it's really really exhausting and it's really really hard, and

0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 3>it seems so obvious when you're like, I'm telling you

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 3>how bad this is, You're telling me how bad this is,

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:37.200
<v Speaker 3>and yet you keep going back to the same thing.

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I even sometimes I think about when I had the

0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 3>period of dating a very fucking useless man who was

0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 3>like cheating on me and lying to me and all

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:47.440
<v Speaker 3>that sort of stuff you know we've talked about in

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 3>the past. But one of my good friends Kaya, she

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 3>saw the constant back and forth and I would tell

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 3>her everything and then and then I would go back

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:56.880
<v Speaker 3>to him. And there was this one time where he

0:35:57.000 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 3>cheated on me and we'd gone away together, her and

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I and she found out that we were getting back

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:03.600
<v Speaker 3>together again, and this has been like the third or

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 3>fourth time, and she was genuinely angry. She was like,

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I cannot keep on having these conversations with you. She

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.359
<v Speaker 3>was like, I don't even really remember exactly what she said,

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 3>but I knew she was angry, and I knew she

0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 3>was angry. But more than the anger, I was embarrassed

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:20.360
<v Speaker 3>to tell her, I was so humiliated that I didn't

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 3>have the strength to leave him, Like I felt so pathetic,

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:27.640
<v Speaker 3>but that's what it does when your self esteem is

0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 3>so corroded, you think no one else is going to

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:31.359
<v Speaker 3>want you anyway. So I kept going back to him

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 3>because I didn't think there was anything better for me,

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 3>and so I know that that's hard to get your

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 3>head around. But as much as she was over it,

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 3>I was so fucking embarrassed. And what happens is you

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 3>start to pull away from your friends and you pull

0:36:43.680 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 3>away from your family because you know they're judging you.

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.360
<v Speaker 3>You know that they think you're an idiot. And it's

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 3>the situation that this woman is in with a toddler,

0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:55.040
<v Speaker 3>and it's fucking horrible. It's really really horrible, and it's

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.560
<v Speaker 3>very isolating. Well, the reason that I say.

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>It's important to make them know that you will be

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 2>there that when they need you and when they're ready,

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.360
<v Speaker 2>but to step back is I just had the conversation

0:37:05.480 --> 0:37:07.640
<v Speaker 2>in my head that we had with Kate Derouge, and

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:09.919
<v Speaker 2>if you guys haven't listened to that, please go and listen.

0:37:09.960 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 2>It's an incredible conversation. Whilst it's a more extreme version

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 2>of this, she said something that you don't really think

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>about unless you're in the situation. She was deep in

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a toxic relationship and she was deeping her drug addiction

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.439
<v Speaker 2>and people, her family and friends that were constantly there

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>for her, she said, actually ended up making it worse

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.600
<v Speaker 2>because there was no reason to get better or to leave,

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:33.399
<v Speaker 2>because there was just someone that would always help her.

0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:36.319
<v Speaker 2>And she said the reason that she ended up sort

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of finding a way out was because her family said

0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to her, we are here anytime when you need us,

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 2>but we will not continue to be here on the

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 2>daily when you're not going to attempt to help yourself.

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 2>And I know that that is an extreme version.

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, do you remember Terry Cole told a very

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.920
<v Speaker 3>similar story about her sister. Her sister was in a

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 3>really toxic relationship, and she said that she was always

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:03.719
<v Speaker 3>there trying to save her and she'd almost like absorbed

0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 3>her sister's trauma as her own, and she was trying

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 3>to be her nut and shining armor. But really what

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 3>allowed her to escape that relationship was her finding her

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.160
<v Speaker 3>own ability to have independence. It was once she didn't

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 3>have all those support systems around her, she was able

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 3>to rebuild for herself. It also gave her a sense

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:22.759
<v Speaker 3>of confidence again, the sense of like I can do this.

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:25.759
<v Speaker 3>It's really hard because I know that is not the

0:38:25.800 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 3>case for everyone, and you don't want to pull away

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 3>from someone who's in a toxic relationship for fear of

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 3>the alternate, But it is not your responsibility to continuously

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 3>carry this load. And I do understand that it's a

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.280
<v Speaker 3>really hard load to carry when you see your friend

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 3>constantly being hurt and constantly going back to relationship that's

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:44.359
<v Speaker 3>not serving them and is actually really damaging to them.

0:38:44.400 --> 0:38:47.440
<v Speaker 2>And to be honest, I feel like I could almost

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>call it their relationship's not going to work out obviously,

0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and so she will need you and gain in the future.

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.120
<v Speaker 2>So I would be having that conversation and trying to

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 2>make sure you're finding your life and getting on You

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 2>don't have to always take people's trauma. And then the

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:00.080
<v Speaker 2>time will come where I have no doubt she'll call you.

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:01.760
<v Speaker 1>But that sucks, all right.

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Last question, My really good friend has his boyfriend who

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I've been a bit wary about because some of his

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:08.360
<v Speaker 3>political views.

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>He follows some far right.

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Almost conspiracy level accounts that are hectically pro Trump and

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:18.120
<v Speaker 3>other dangerous men like Ben Shapiro, etc. He also follows

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:21.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of OnlyFans girls accounts. Here's where it also

0:39:21.400 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 3>gets a little complex. My friend is Asian and has

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:27.880
<v Speaker 3>joked about perhaps her white boyfriend being with her only

0:39:27.920 --> 0:39:31.240
<v Speaker 3>because she is Asian and wondering if he has yellow fever,

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 3>a very derogatory term for men who like to date

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Asian women because of the kink of submissive behavior. All

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 3>of the women were Asian creators on his follow list.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 3>My friend doesn't have Instagram, so she won't check to

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.680
<v Speaker 3>see who he is following. Should I tell her about

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.040
<v Speaker 3>his Instagram account or just stay out of it?

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Fuck?

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you can tell your friend. I think you

0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:54.080
<v Speaker 1>can tell her.

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:55.920
<v Speaker 2>It's hard because at the end of the day, like

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:58.760
<v Speaker 2>people can follow who they want whatever, this is different

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:02.920
<v Speaker 2>because she doesn't having herself, so she can't check herself.

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.319
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. The only thing is if you

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>do go to your friend and say I want you

0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 2>to know who your boyfriend's following, she's going to think, Okay,

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:14.960
<v Speaker 2>well you've got a problem with my boyfriend, and it's

0:40:14.960 --> 0:40:16.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be another question to have. Like, I don't

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 2>think there's anything wrong with saying if you know your friend,

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 2>for example, really is not pro Trump, if you know

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:27.000
<v Speaker 2>that she has strong views political views that really don't

0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 2>align with what you're seeing from his account, then I

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 2>think one hundred percent have that conversation. There's nothing wrong

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.319
<v Speaker 2>with saying, hey, did you know that your boyfriend like

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>supports Trump and all of these other misogynistic accounts.

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I have a question.

0:40:39.760 --> 0:40:42.040
<v Speaker 3>I'd love to know how long they've been dating for, because, like,

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 3>if he is really pro Trump and has some like

0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 3>far right views propacy level. She's probably aware of it,

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Like she probably knows it's a hard thing to hide.

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I wonder, like, maybe this is something you care about

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.239
<v Speaker 3>more than she cares about, Like I wonder what is

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 3>the disparity here. You definitely can flag it with her

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 3>and be like, hey, I know you're not on Instagram,

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 3>but like Wayne follows some really weird accounts, and like,

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:06.200
<v Speaker 3>try and do it in a softer way. Or you

0:41:06.239 --> 0:41:07.879
<v Speaker 3>can send us some links to things that she can

0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:09.680
<v Speaker 3>can look at and be like, hey, you know, I

0:41:09.680 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 3>don't know, does it make you feel weird that he

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:14.080
<v Speaker 3>does X y Z, like whatever. I think that that

0:41:14.239 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 3>is an absolutely fine conversation to have with your friend,

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:19.359
<v Speaker 3>but it is definitely very telling about your feelings about him.

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 3>But you kind of want her to know anyway, So

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, that is probably one way you can navigate it.

0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:27.080
<v Speaker 3>The only fans thing, the only fans content creators is

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 3>an interesting one because there is no way of having

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:34.280
<v Speaker 3>that conversation without saying, hey, your boyfriend is fetishizing Asian girls.

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 3>You know he would put it down to I have

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:37.920
<v Speaker 3>a type of course I find asian women beautiful.

0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I find you beautiful. It's why I'm dating you exactly.

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's not going to say I've got yellow fever,

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 3>like what an awful thing for someone to say that.

0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:48.240
<v Speaker 3>He would say, Yeah, I find Asian women so attractive,

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:51.439
<v Speaker 3>hence why we're together, Like you know, we both find

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:52.720
<v Speaker 3>each other so physically attractive.

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you would follow hot white guys as well.

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that his retort is the correct one,

0:41:58.120 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not saying that it is right. I'm just

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:03.240
<v Speaker 3>trying to give you ways in which he would explain

0:42:03.280 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 3>away the things that he is doing, which would mean

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:08.400
<v Speaker 3>that you would sound like you're a bit crazy for

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:10.640
<v Speaker 3>going through and finding all these only fans people, and

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:12.560
<v Speaker 3>he would be able to explain the why of it.

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have thought the problem was that the only

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.759
<v Speaker 2>fans women were Asian. I think the problems more that

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just a bunch of only fans people. For me,

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the Asian part doesn't come into it as much as

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 2>like a full on list of only fans creators like

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:27.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously there was more to this question that

0:42:27.400 --> 0:42:31.400
<v Speaker 2>some of them are quite like provocative and pornography like,

0:42:31.400 --> 0:42:32.640
<v Speaker 2>like they were quite extreme.

0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:33.839
<v Speaker 1>They're not just like ah.

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:35.879
<v Speaker 3>I think it does though, and especially when you look

0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 3>at the reasoning why. And I think it was a

0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 3>good explainer that she put in there. Really sorry to

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:41.800
<v Speaker 3>any of our Asian listeners. I'm not saying this because

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I would ever use a terminology. It's purely because it

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:45.560
<v Speaker 3>is in the question.

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:46.479
<v Speaker 1>She said.

0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:49.040
<v Speaker 3>You know that she herself her friend has joked about

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:52.640
<v Speaker 3>perhaps her boyfriend has yellow fever, a derogatory term for

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 3>men who like to date Asian women because it's kink

0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 3>of submissive behavior. So I do think that there are

0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:01.040
<v Speaker 3>big fucking red flat but I think it's a very

0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 3>challenging red flag to communicate.

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that the term yellow fever Asian fever

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:09.960
<v Speaker 2>was because they like the fact that Asian women are submissive.

0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that's what it meant. I just thought

0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:14.760
<v Speaker 2>it was a type that people were attracted to people

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:16.840
<v Speaker 2>of Asian descent. I didn't know that it was because

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 2>of the submissive part.

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:20.520
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, I didn't actually know that necessarily either.

0:43:20.640 --> 0:43:23.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I thought it was okay Keisha's saying she did

0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 3>know that, Yeah, I didn't know that. I think it

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:29.200
<v Speaker 3>is problematic and I do understand why you have these concerns.

0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:33.319
<v Speaker 3>My only thing is I do think your friend is

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:34.800
<v Speaker 3>going to have to figure a lot of this stuff

0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 3>out for herself, because as much as we can hate

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:41.360
<v Speaker 3>our friend's boyfriends and see all the fucking red flags,

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:44.440
<v Speaker 3>you can try and hold a mirror up to it,

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 3>and you can try and point your friend in the

0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:48.480
<v Speaker 3>right direction, which is okay, and I think do that

0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 3>in a soft way that doesn't totally isolate you from

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:54.719
<v Speaker 3>them as a couple. But you can't tell your friend

0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 3>not to date someone, or tell your friend directly how

0:43:57.280 --> 0:43:58.920
<v Speaker 3>awful you think he is, because all that's going to

0:43:58.960 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 3>be is a situation where she turns around and goes, oh,

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:02.320
<v Speaker 3>you hate my boyfriend.

0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Now it's awkward.

0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:05.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to invite you to things and him

0:44:05.320 --> 0:44:08.000
<v Speaker 3>to things, And I just think it's kind of a

0:44:08.040 --> 0:44:09.359
<v Speaker 3>little bit like you've got to wait this one out

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. I do wonder whether she kind of

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 3>has an idea in some ways, because it is odd

0:44:16.200 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 3>that she's making these jokes. Anyway, I feel as though

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.319
<v Speaker 3>if you're dating someone who's a far right and has

0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 3>like radical political views, you kind of do know that

0:44:24.280 --> 0:44:26.279
<v Speaker 3>about them, and it may just be that she's so

0:44:26.360 --> 0:44:29.439
<v Speaker 3>blinded by like you know, she's digmatized, or she really

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:33.360
<v Speaker 3>likes the guy. But as those things become more prevalent,

0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I do think that that sort of if she cares

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 3>about these issues and she is not aligned with him,

0:44:39.360 --> 0:44:41.399
<v Speaker 3>it will become a wedge in that relationship and something

0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 3>that she will have to navigate. Anyway, I would just

0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:46.080
<v Speaker 3>be conscious about how much I'm inserting myself into someone

0:44:46.120 --> 0:44:49.279
<v Speaker 3>else's relationship based on Instagram accounts and who that other

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:50.040
<v Speaker 3>person follows.

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, Guys, that is it from us.
