Speaker 1: Hello, lovely listeners, and welcome back to another episode of
Speaker 1: Life Uncut.
Speaker 2: I'm Laura and I'm Brittany, and thanks for coming back
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've actually mentioned this, since we
Speaker 1: have decided to start recording back together. Our recording takes
Speaker 1: place in my bedroom, So welcome to where the magic happens.
Speaker 2: Get the prime seat. I get to sit on the bed.
Speaker 2: Brittany's sitting on the bed. I'm sitting on a chair
Speaker 2: on a tiny, dingy little table in the corner. We
Speaker 2: really are grassroots. We have some gooey gouey brownie in
Speaker 2: front of us, and usually we have a red wine,
Speaker 2: but we don't today. Brittany rocked up today and she
Speaker 2: brought some homemade brownies. And normally I would crack myself
Speaker 2: a bottle by now, but you know, it's Monday, so.
Speaker 1: I just do it every Monday. I decided it's time
Speaker 1: for a tea, guys. I got my lemon grass and
Speaker 1: ginger tea here and feeling zen.
Speaker 2: Laura messaged me when I was on my way over
Speaker 2: and she's like, babe, do you want me to make
Speaker 2: you a tea? She was like, are you fucking sick?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Are you dying? What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Trying to be a new person.
Speaker 1: I've decided that drinking every day in isolation is probably
Speaker 1: not the best thing to do.
Speaker 2: No, and especially because I think we're on our way
Speaker 2: out of isolation, so we probably need to start raining
Speaker 2: it back in, Like I need to start pretending like
Speaker 2: I'm going to speak to people outside in public, because
Speaker 2: the only people I speak to are Brittany and Matt
Speaker 2: and Marley and Marley. That's it. Marley's eleven months. She
Speaker 2: has great chat.
Speaker 1: So we have reopened the shop for consultation appointments. We
Speaker 1: don't worry, guys, We're doing all the one point five
Speaker 1: All the rules apply. But we reopened our store and
Speaker 1: I had a consultation with a customer who came in
Speaker 1: to get something, and for the first five minutes of
Speaker 1: talking to him, mouth was moving and I could hear
Speaker 1: words coming out of my mouth, though my brain was like,
Speaker 1: is this how you interact with people?
Speaker 2: Is this? How is this? Am I doing this right?
Speaker 2: Someone help? Or did his life jacket? Was he talking
Speaker 2: back to you?
Speaker 1: He had also grown a mustache, which just makes me
Speaker 1: think that everyone's in the same boat.
Speaker 2: Well, I had a moment today. I had like a moment,
Speaker 2: a Laura moment. I was doing emails all day. I
Speaker 2: was like, what went terribly wrong in your life? Please
Speaker 2: tell me? I was doing emails all day and it
Speaker 2: was a business email and I was just typing so
Speaker 2: quickly and just pressing sen onto the next email, typing
Speaker 2: so quickly, and I signed tried to sign off warmest regards,
Speaker 2: and I don't know how it did this, but it
Speaker 2: wrote hugging always, hugging always, Brittany, and I was like,
Speaker 2: hugging always at the best of times is bad. But
Speaker 2: in isolation, when you're not supposed to be touching people,
Speaker 2: thinking who is she? You're like, I am a rule
Speaker 2: a breaker. I'm here for the curls. So I actually
Speaker 2: said that. I didn't even follow it up with their like,
Speaker 2: didn't mean to say that. I just was like, man,
Speaker 2: maybe you'll make his day. Leave it. I like it,
Speaker 2: Embrace it. What else has been happening in your world?
Speaker 2: I actually did get to go to Port Macquarie this weekend,
Speaker 2: so I went to see my parents because finally we're
Speaker 2: allowed to and I haven't seen them since Christmas, so
Speaker 2: nearly five well five months basically, so it was really
Speaker 2: really nice. We just stayed inside, We did all the
Speaker 2: things were supposed to do. We had a Mother's Day brunch,
Speaker 2: we had French toast in the backyard, and it was
Speaker 2: just really nice. And speaking of Mother's Day, Happy first
Speaker 2: Mother's Day. Do you know what being a mum is? Great?
Speaker 2: I highly recommend it. Yes, I really like it.
Speaker 1: There was a time, only really a few years ago,
Speaker 1: where I guess I just wasn't really sure whether or
Speaker 1: not I would end up ever having.
Speaker 2: Kids at all.
Speaker 1: It seems so hard, and everyone always talks about how
Speaker 1: hard it is, and everyone talks about how tiring it
Speaker 1: is and how you're never gonna have a life anymore,
Speaker 1: and how you have to give up everything that you love,
Speaker 1: and it is all those things.
Speaker 2: I was gonna every single one of them.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. No, but it's it's the
Speaker 1: best thing ever. And I think that often people you
Speaker 1: kind of forget to tell other potential new mums how
Speaker 1: great it is. And yesterday was just a reminder of
Speaker 1: how incredibly lucky I am. And another reason why I
Speaker 1: was incredibly lucky is because I had an hour and
Speaker 1: a half bath and I went to bed at nine pm,
Speaker 1: and I was so so happy. Channing Tatum could have
Speaker 1: come in and asked me if I wanted a lap dance,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Would have said, you know what, Channing Britney lives just
Speaker 2: up the road. I am fine, I'm gonna have a nap.
Speaker 2: Thank you. You actually would have about Tason, Mamala. He
Speaker 2: was your whole past.
Speaker 1: I think I was still take my sleep. It was heaven,
Speaker 1: Absolutely heaven. I had a bottle of rose during the day.
Speaker 2: I really love Mother's Day. I think we should do
Speaker 2: it more often. I knew something was going on because
Speaker 2: I messaged you and never heard back. This is why
Speaker 2: I'm having a tea now. Guys. It was a real raver.
Speaker 2: So that's the real reason you're having a teach had
Speaker 2: a bottle of rose yesterday. I get it.
Speaker 1: As you know, we are always always talking about too
Speaker 1: hot to handle.
Speaker 2: But I really do think that this is going to
Speaker 2: be the last episode after this. It's fucking band, We're done.
Speaker 2: We keep saying that, but then they keep dropping these
Speaker 2: bombs and we have to mention them.
Speaker 1: Look, unless Francesca and Harry get married on Netflix special,
Speaker 1: this is well and truly the last conversation we're gonna
Speaker 1: have about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is why I want to talk about it.
Speaker 2: So catching everybody up to speed. Harry and Francesca apparently
Speaker 2: got engaged on a zoom call on their reunion chat
Speaker 2: a few nights ago, and I don't know how I
Speaker 2: feel about it. I don't know whether to believe it
Speaker 2: or not. We just Laura and I just watched the
Speaker 2: little clip together.
Speaker 1: What do you think All the media outlets are reporting
Speaker 1: on this proposal as though it's real, But I just
Speaker 1: want to say, I think we have reached peak isolation.
Speaker 1: When somebody gets down on their knees with a ring
Speaker 1: pop and proposes over zoom. Really months from two hundred
Speaker 1: klmeters away, we've really really hit some sort of peak isolation.
Speaker 2: Now, guys, it's time to get out. I hope for
Speaker 2: them it's I hope they're happy. I hope it's amazing
Speaker 2: and they're together forever. But part of me just is
Speaker 2: really questioning the sincerity. But straight away he came out
Speaker 2: and said, oh, I'd love, like, you know, basically love
Speaker 2: Netflix to pick this bad boy up. It'll be huge
Speaker 2: if they do sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So for anybody who has followed the whole journey too
Speaker 1: hot to handle a Francesca and Harry. They got together,
Speaker 1: they broke up as soon as the show finished, and
Speaker 1: then Harry dated somebody else from the series for eight months.
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, we got.
Speaker 1: Our facts right. To make sure is this completely factual?
Speaker 1: We don't want to throw anyone under the bus. Francesca
Speaker 1: and Harry have only been back together for four months,
Speaker 1: and he has now proposed over zoom on Netflix with
Speaker 1: a ring pop. Some may say that it is not
Speaker 1: the most sincere of proposals, but not us. We're here
Speaker 1: for true love, guys, because we love love. But she
Speaker 1: didn't look overly.
Speaker 2: Thrilled, did she. She didn't even move her face. He
Speaker 2: just sort of said, like, should we do this? And
Speaker 2: then it pans to her and she's looking at him
Speaker 2: with the most unenthusiastic look on her face. I don't
Speaker 2: know if I can believe this, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it's good. Well. Look, I also read something else really
Speaker 2: funny today that I wanted to tell you about. I'm ready.
Speaker 2: I read about a woman in the UK who aha
Speaker 2: has come up with her own way to defend herself
Speaker 2: from coronavirus and actually it's even just coronavirus. It's all
Speaker 2: sort of illnesses. This is this is her vitamin. What
Speaker 2: she does is three times a week? Is it the
Speaker 2: vitamin D? Three times she has a shot of her partner.
Speaker 2: Doesn't even have to be her partner, she says, her
Speaker 2: partner sperm. He sold her into that. He's like, hey, babe,
Speaker 2: I have the antidote for coronavirus. Come on down to detail.
Speaker 2: Because she she will put in her smoothies. She freezes
Speaker 2: them into ice cubes because they live apart, so she
Speaker 2: can have them at a later date. What are you reading?
Speaker 2: And then she goes on to tell you that it
Speaker 2: doesn't even have to be your partner sperm. You can donate.
Speaker 2: You can have a friend donate it. Where are you
Speaker 2: getting this information from? It was on the news BuzzFeed
Speaker 2: or something on Stlly magazine sealed section but even exist
Speaker 2: still Oh my god. No.
Speaker 1: But when I was sixteen, I frot that I really
Speaker 1: think that you need to question where you're getting your
Speaker 1: news articles from.
Speaker 2: Brittany. I want to literally googled weird news because you
Speaker 2: always made me bring something funny. I googled weird news.
Speaker 2: There you go. You all know it. People don't come
Speaker 2: making me say it. People are not coming to this
Speaker 2: podcast because they want to know what's current in the
Speaker 2: world of news, that's for sure. Speaking of what else
Speaker 2: is current, though, I do have a recommendation if you
Speaker 2: haven't read the book Michelle Obama's Becoming. There is a
Speaker 2: Netflix special that's come out. I'm gonna say if you
Speaker 2: haven't read the book, because I don't think the Netflix
Speaker 2: special will be as good as the book, but I
Speaker 2: quite enjoyed it, so I'm going to recommend the Netflix special.
Speaker 2: I've just thought she's such.
Speaker 1: An incredibly empowering woman, and she talks about her journey
Speaker 1: from her childhood through being the first Lady and living
Speaker 1: in the White House, and how she brought her mum
Speaker 1: to live in the White House with them, and she
Speaker 1: talks about the campaigns and the hardship that they faced
Speaker 1: together and also the media scrutiny that they faced, and
Speaker 1: it's just a really, really beautiful and compelling documentary about
Speaker 1: how and what she's doing for other African American women
Speaker 1: and young girls in the States.
Speaker 2: She's an incredible woman. There's this one part in the
Speaker 2: Netflix series where she talks about how her and Obama.
Speaker 2: They got up and they were doing a like a
Speaker 2: press they were talking to Congress, and just as Obama
Speaker 2: got up to stage, she gave him a fist bump.
Speaker 2: And then Fox News went and they created cartoons saying
Speaker 2: that it was like a terrorist fist bump. And it's
Speaker 2: insane that.
Speaker 1: During our lifetime that that level of defamation is allowed,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of comes under.
Speaker 2: Freedom of speech. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: And so she talks about all that, She talks about
Speaker 1: what impact that had on her mental health and how
Speaker 1: that affected her as a person, and I just think
Speaker 1: it's a really really empowering and beautiful story. So that
Speaker 1: is my recommendation guys becoming on Netflix. I have a
Speaker 1: recommendation also, Laura. Mine is not as becoming as yours,
Speaker 1: but it's actually from you guys. A lot of you
Speaker 1: guys on the Facebook page wrote in and suggested we
Speaker 1: watch normal people. So I'm a little bit behind the times,
Speaker 1: but the sounds of it, though not as much becoming,
Speaker 1: but a lot more coming since apparently there is apparently, Laura,
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 2: You didn't pay my joke, but I'll pay yours.
Speaker 1: Also, I read that there's something crazy like forty one
Speaker 1: minutes of sex scenes in twelve episodes.
Speaker 2: I'm a bit late to the party. It has been
Speaker 2: recommended for a while. I just haven't gotten around to
Speaker 2: watching it because I was so deep into money heist. Anyway,
Speaker 2: watched it. I have loved it. I'm one episode of finishing.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna be controversial here whilst I'm hooked and
Speaker 2: I have enjoyed the whole show. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: spoil anything for people that haven't watched it. But there
Speaker 2: comes a moment about halfway to three quarters the way
Speaker 2: through where you're like, okay, recurring theme. I get it.
Speaker 2: It's frustrating, you like, move on. It's so obvious what
Speaker 2: should be happening, and they don't do it. And for me,
Speaker 2: it was too much of a recurring theme. And I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm frustrated now. So I wonder if anyone else thought that,
Speaker 2: or just me. You can't really contribute, Laurie looking at
Speaker 2: me very perplex because you haven't seen it. But yeah,
Speaker 2: there is so much sex in it, but it's not
Speaker 2: in your face, crude, rough sex. It's almost like you
Speaker 2: don't even notice it's happening. It's just like part of it.
Speaker 1: Well, I have seen Okay, I haven't watched it yet,
Speaker 1: but I have seen a lot of articles come out
Speaker 1: about it, and a lot of articles talking about how
Speaker 1: they're the most beautiful, delicate, delicious sex scenes must have
Speaker 1: been filmed or directed by a woman that's ever been
Speaker 1: shown to be fair.
Speaker 2: The actors are brilliant, The sex scenes are done really well.
Speaker 2: They don't make you uncomfortable. You know how sometimes you
Speaker 2: can watch scenes like that and you're really uncomfortable. It's
Speaker 2: not I can definitely recommend it. So if those of
Speaker 2: you that haven't watched it, throw it in. It's one series.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna hurt you.
Speaker 1: Okay, So before we move on to the episode, britt
Speaker 1: are your face?
Speaker 2: What do you want to know about it? Why are
Speaker 2: you so red? What's going on over here? I had
Speaker 2: I did like a little at home skin peel. I
Speaker 2: was wondering when you would notice if you look really close,
Speaker 2: it's like little flaking off bits. Have had a peel?
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a peel? I've only had one
Speaker 2: extremely hectic peel where I thought I looked like a
Speaker 2: burn's victim and I was never going to be able
Speaker 2: to leave the house again. I've never done that again. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've had one of those. I'll never do it again. No,
Speaker 2: Actually you should try this, Laura. It's from a girl
Speaker 2: that I've always seen skin associate, but she sends these
Speaker 2: pills to your home. So all these people that can't
Speaker 2: go and get their skin looked after and skin peels,
Speaker 2: so she sent it to my house. You put it
Speaker 2: on at home, takes you five seconds. You leave it
Speaker 2: on for half an hour and that's it. It's just
Speaker 2: like a skin rejuvenation. So that's what you're witnessing. You're
Speaker 2: a caterpillar and soon you're going to become a beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 2: You're just in the chrysalis right now. You're not going
Speaker 2: to recognize me through who are you? It was this
Speaker 2: fourteen year old girl sitting across on my bed. Things
Speaker 2: are getting weird, guys.
Speaker 1: Well, I did have one more thing that happened to
Speaker 1: me this week before we get into our accidentally unfiltered.
Speaker 1: It's definitely not that exciting, but I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Speaker 1: So on Saturday, we went and saw my mom. We
Speaker 1: did like our Mother's Day on Saturday with her.
Speaker 2: And we cooked a keche. We took the keiche down
Speaker 2: and did you make that fiche? Yeah, it was like
Speaker 2: Marley's dinner. We took keish down for Marley, like you know,
Speaker 2: so she had something to eat. Anyway, had a really
Speaker 2: nice day down in Woongong. Everyone knows it's been like
Speaker 2: nice and warm over the weekend. Lovely and hot, hot cars,
Speaker 2: warm spaces. M I remember that. So we left Wollongong.
Speaker 1: We packed everything back up into the car and then
Speaker 1: this morning, Monday, I got into the car and Matt
Speaker 1: had left the keish sitting on the ground.
Speaker 2: I can see that coming a mile away. Caiche just
Speaker 2: sitting on the floor of my car, which smelt like
Speaker 2: an old man's fast. Oh my god, that's disgusting.
Speaker 1: It was the worst ending to my mother's day weekend.
Speaker 1: I then had to drive to work today in a
Speaker 1: car that smelt like farts.
Speaker 2: So just like every day every day that MAT's in
Speaker 2: the car. Yes, should we jump into an accidentally unfiltered Yes,
Speaker 2: let's come on, razzle dazzle this and get into show
Speaker 2: business town. Okay, accidentally unfiltered. For those of you that
Speaker 2: are new, it's literally just your most embarrassing stories, the
Speaker 2: stories where you wish you could bury yourself and die
Speaker 2: and never see anyone in the world again. We've all
Speaker 2: got one of those. We've all got them, and we
Speaker 2: love to hear them. So you guys running to us
Speaker 2: and then we read them out anonymously, of course. So
Speaker 2: if you have a good one, please send it in
Speaker 2: to us. But this week, I know there's a bit
Speaker 2: of a recurring theme of people sending messages to someone
Speaker 2: they weren't supposed to go to. But I love that
Speaker 2: because they're the funniest ones, and you know that when
Speaker 2: you press that send button you can't unsend it.
Speaker 1: They're also the most relatable ones as well, because we've
Speaker 1: literally all done it.
Speaker 2: We all do it, We've all done it. Okay, So
Speaker 2: this girl has gone out and had a one night stand.
Speaker 2: He's can get a girl. He's come back to her
Speaker 2: house pre isolation. This was I have had sex one
Speaker 2: two times whatever. The next morning he wakes up and
Speaker 2: they swap numbers, he leaves. She goes to message her friend.
Speaker 2: You know, how was last night? Would you end up
Speaker 2: doing blah blah blah. Her friend writes to her, So,
Speaker 2: how is a sex like you? And it's way more
Speaker 2: exciting than mine? Tell me everything she writes, quote, Oh,
Speaker 2: the sex was terrible. He couldn't make me come, he
Speaker 2: couldn't do anything. His dick was flaccid, it was barely hard.
Speaker 2: It was awful. Oh. She presses send, and who do
Speaker 2: you think? She sends it to. I hope you're not
Speaker 2: gonna say him, But she sends it to this poor guy.
Speaker 2: She literally writes to him saying how bad the sex was, now,
Speaker 2: how he couldn't get hard, how he couldn't get her off,
Speaker 2: She said all these things. Then she's realized, so she
Speaker 2: said to a friend, oh my god, I've just sent
Speaker 2: that to him. What do I do? Like, how do
Speaker 2: I get out of this? So she's like, I can't. Really,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna pretend I'm joking. So she wrote back,
Speaker 2: har had just joking. He writes, I don't think you
Speaker 2: were on no rip you. I can't even laugh at
Speaker 2: that because it makes me feel so bad for him,
Speaker 2: Like there's a part of my heart that is just
Speaker 2: like I can't I feel I feel for him because
Speaker 2: nobody wants, no woman or man, no one wants to
Speaker 2: receive that message.
Speaker 1: But also maybe maybe he can't, maybe he like had
Speaker 1: some CERD performance issues, or maybe that's gonna like really
Speaker 1: hurt him in a place.
Speaker 2: Where I mean, I think he was nervous. I also
Speaker 2: think you're written too much into this wood. We're not
Speaker 2: going to go into his deep dark issues. This guy's
Speaker 2: now in therapy for the next six months of his life.
Speaker 2: So of course she never heard from him again.
Speaker 1: Sounds like that's a really clear cut and quick way
Speaker 1: to get rid of a guy. How to lose a
Speaker 1: guy in one text message and truly alienate him.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's hideous. Did I ever tell you
Speaker 2: about the time where this is really mean? This is
Speaker 2: actually so mean. I was really young when I sent
Speaker 2: the text on the toilet. Yeah, don't you tell that?
Speaker 2: Tell you no, you told me, but need to hear.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I was pretty young and my best friend
Speaker 1: at the time was a guy, and we'd been like
Speaker 1: really good friends for a long time, and then out
Speaker 1: of the blue. I don't know why I told you
Speaker 1: I was sitting on the toilet. It's really not imperative
Speaker 1: to the story about So I'm sitting on the toilet
Speaker 1: and he texts me, and he has professed that he
Speaker 1: has feelings for me and that he wants to take
Speaker 1: me on a date, and I then wrote back to
Speaker 1: my girlfriend, who I was also texting at the same
Speaker 1: time on the toilet and wrote, We're gonna call the
Speaker 1: guy David because I can't I don't want to say
Speaker 1: his real name. I was like, wrote back to my
Speaker 1: girlfriend and I was like, oh my god, David just
Speaker 1: asked me out on a date, as if I would
Speaker 1: ever go out with him, and I sent it to David, Oh,
Speaker 1: instant violin.
Speaker 2: This horrible. It's a horrible thing that happened when you
Speaker 2: told me that. Actually that broke my heart more than
Speaker 2: the penis one, because this is your best friend and
Speaker 2: he was my best friend. But also it kind of
Speaker 2: was a little bit like it wasn't because I don't
Speaker 2: find him attractive. It was like, you're like my brother, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my brother just asked to date me. And it got
Speaker 2: real weird, real real quick. But he obviously doesn't think
Speaker 2: he's your brother. No, he wouldn't have asked you. And
Speaker 2: then what happened to that friendship.
Speaker 1: I mean, we are from Wollongong, you might be brother
Speaker 1: and sister. I'll got nothing against the gong our bloody
Speaker 1: love it down there, all right. I'm actually trying to
Speaker 1: get Matt to move back there and buy a house
Speaker 1: with meat.
Speaker 2: But he won't. You haven't told me that. Sorry, you're welcome,
Speaker 2: you're just breaking up with me now. Like this, houses
Speaker 2: are a little bit cheaper down there. Times are tough.
Speaker 2: Sydney is expensive. But don't worry. If isolation has taught
Speaker 2: us anything, we can do this via zoom. I don't
Speaker 2: want to. I'm gonna have to veto this move. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, guys, so it's time to get into the episode. Now.
Speaker 1: We did throw it out in the Facebook group earlier
Speaker 1: this week that in this episode we're going to be
Speaker 1: talking about revenge bodies. If you don't know what a
Speaker 1: revenge body is or a breakup pod some people might
Speaker 1: like to call it, it's when you lose a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot of weight or get in shape or
Speaker 1: have a bit of a transformation post breakup. And now
Speaker 1: we know that breakups can be pretty complex. There are
Speaker 1: many different reasons as to why a breakup may happen,
Speaker 1: but the whole concept of this breakup bod or this
Speaker 1: revenge body comes about as like getting fit in order
Speaker 1: to make your ex jealous, Like that is the motivating factor,
Speaker 1: the reason why this conversation has come to light is
Speaker 1: because Adele posted a photo last week which garnered so
Speaker 1: much media attention. It was just insane and it was
Speaker 1: almost too big to not touch on it in this podcast.
Speaker 1: Adele has thirty six point nine million followers, and she
Speaker 1: posted a pretty innocent photo of herself at her thirty
Speaker 1: second birthday party standing in front of a flower arbor,
Speaker 1: just hands out, looking happy, and the caption below it
Speaker 1: was also pretty innocent. The caption below said, thank you
Speaker 1: for the birthday love. I hope you're all staying safe
Speaker 1: and sane during this crazy time. I'd like to thank
Speaker 1: all of our first responders and essential workers who are
Speaker 1: keeping us safe while risking their lives. You are truly
Speaker 1: our angels. Twenty twenty Okay, thanks by, I love the
Speaker 1: sign of okay, thanks bye, And that was it. But
Speaker 1: what garnered all the attention around this post it wasn't
Speaker 1: about her message. It wasn't even really about the photo.
Speaker 1: It was about the fact that she has lost a
Speaker 1: hell of a lot of weight. And I think it's
Speaker 1: important to mention that the reason why this had become
Speaker 1: such an interesting topic of conversation is because Adele has
Speaker 1: recently gone through a breakup. In twenty nineteen, she broke
Speaker 1: up from her husband, who she has a son with.
Speaker 1: There has been a lot of chitter chatter in the
Speaker 1: media about Adele having a glow up and about this
Speaker 1: being her revenge body. I hate the term revenge body,
Speaker 1: and I no brid hates the term revenge body for
Speaker 1: what it is. So we thought we would talk about
Speaker 1: whether or not it can be a positive thing to
Speaker 1: get a revenge body, or whether or not it's always
Speaker 1: a negative thing.
Speaker 2: It really is a term coined by the media. I
Speaker 2: don't think as a population or as a society, if
Speaker 2: it wasn't so in our face in the media about
Speaker 2: having a revenge body and showing him what he's missing.
Speaker 2: I don't think as individuals it would be on our
Speaker 2: mind as much. But we have people like Chloe Kardashian, who,
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, had great intentions, but she started
Speaker 2: a show called Revenge Body, and I mean the Kardashians
Speaker 2: are followed are They're the most followed family in the world.
Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, we have the whole world
Speaker 2: jumping on board with this idea that you're going to
Speaker 2: go through a breakup and the best thing you can
Speaker 2: do is strip yourself back and get skinny, fit and
Speaker 2: hot to show. That's essentially what the show's about too.
Speaker 2: It's like it's a glow up to show your ex
Speaker 2: what you're missing out on. Yeah, and she does have
Speaker 2: good intentions. She gets people in to dress them and
Speaker 2: do their hair, and it's to make them feel good,
Speaker 2: but it definitely has this aspect of look what I
Speaker 2: can do without you.
Speaker 1: So this reality TV show that BRIT's talking about, but
Speaker 1: it had three seasons, it was pretty polarizing. There were
Speaker 1: a lot of people who loved it and loved the
Speaker 1: sentiment behind it, but then there was all so a
Speaker 1: pretty big movement of people, people who live in the
Speaker 1: body positive space. We're very against the show because of
Speaker 1: the underlying premise of the show, which is you will
Speaker 1: be happier if you are thinner or fitter or skinnier.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what we need to be
Speaker 1: really careful of getting caught up in when we talk
Speaker 1: about our body's post breakup and the way we look
Speaker 1: post breakup, because it's already such a shitty time. You
Speaker 1: already feel so down and so negative about yourself that
Speaker 1: by making your weight intrinsic to your value as a
Speaker 1: person and that that becomes your currency. It's a very
Speaker 1: negative headspace to get into after a breakup.
Speaker 2: It is so normal as humans to want your ex boyfriend,
Speaker 2: ex girlfriend, ex partner to see how well you're doing
Speaker 2: without them, Like that is so normal. We all love
Speaker 2: the idea that our ex will be stalking us on
Speaker 2: social media and basically regret ending the relationship. We hope
Speaker 2: that they're going to look on our social media be like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, look how hot they are. I want
Speaker 2: them back. But there comes a fine line of whether
Speaker 2: you are doing this for the right reasons for your
Speaker 2: mental health and your sanity, or are you compromising your
Speaker 2: mental health because you're so obsessed with this idea of
Speaker 2: I will do whatever it takes to my mental health
Speaker 2: and my physical health to get this person who doesn't
Speaker 2: even want me to notice me.
Speaker 1: And like, I do understand that sometimes this can roll
Speaker 1: into a positive And when we put this out to
Speaker 1: the Facebook group, we got very mixed information back from
Speaker 1: you guys. Like some people had said that they had
Speaker 1: lost weight gotten into shape after a breakup and it
Speaker 1: had been really really positive for their mental health because
Speaker 1: they threw themselves into exercise, they threw themselves into being
Speaker 1: productive and really like focusing on themselves. And then we
Speaker 1: had people who also came from the other end of
Speaker 1: that spectrum saying that it was a very negative headspace
Speaker 1: where because they were so stressed, they weren't eating. One
Speaker 1: girl did write it on the Facebook group, and I
Speaker 1: found this really interesting and something I think is really
Speaker 1: important to touch on. And she said that she did
Speaker 1: lose a load of weight after her breakup, but she's
Speaker 1: made it very clear that that weight loss was not
Speaker 1: from a healthy place. She was extremely stressed and a
Speaker 1: result of that stress was that she wasn't eating. And
Speaker 1: I think that happens to a lot of people when
Speaker 1: you're heartbroken. For some people, eating is like the last
Speaker 1: thing you want to do. It's like feels like the
Speaker 1: one thing you can control.
Speaker 2: And she said that even though she was in such
Speaker 2: a dark and negative headspace, she was receiving the most
Speaker 2: compliments she had ever received. Everyone was saying how amazing
Speaker 2: she looked. And it made me think, you know, congratulating
Speaker 2: someone on weight loss post breakup can really just perpetuate
Speaker 2: this negative cycle, like maybe their weight loss isn't born
Speaker 2: from a healthy, constructive place.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is born from stress. So by reinforcing and
Speaker 1: telling someone how good they look and how better they
Speaker 1: look now or prettier they look now, just really reinforces
Speaker 1: that their value as a person is inherently tied to
Speaker 1: weight and the way they look.
Speaker 2: I think what's happening now is and I think what
Speaker 2: the world is starting to notice is that women. It's
Speaker 2: like the media owns women's bodies. Whatever the articles about
Speaker 2: they mentioned something about their body. So whether that's a
Speaker 2: post breakup, whether that's just they're out at an event,
Speaker 2: whether it's after or before a wedding or whatever it is,
Speaker 2: it's always brought back to the woman's body. But the men,
Speaker 2: nothing's ever said. There's never an article on look at
Speaker 2: this man's revenge body after a breakup with a woman.
Speaker 2: There's never anything like that. And I think so for me,
Speaker 2: I'm really lucky in the sense of I've been through
Speaker 2: some horrific breakups and really stressful times in my life,
Speaker 2: but I haven't ever been one of those people that
Speaker 2: stops eating as a result of that, or I've never
Speaker 2: felt the need to get skinnier. I've definitely had issues
Speaker 2: with my body confidence, but I'm lucky that I can
Speaker 2: talk myself out of that before I get to a
Speaker 2: place physically that makes me ill. But in relation to
Speaker 2: what I just said, I remember after The Bachelor finished.
Speaker 2: So what I do is I throw myself into fitness
Speaker 2: and exercise. And it's not to get skinny. It's because
Speaker 2: everyone knows I love it. Mentally, it's what helps me
Speaker 2: get through any situation, helps me deal with stress. So
Speaker 2: I just started getting back into exercise. I'd spent three
Speaker 2: months in the Batch mansion doing nothing and eating, and
Speaker 2: now I've got all this time. So I started exercising
Speaker 2: every day and it was getting me through my stress
Speaker 2: and I felt great. My body definitely really really toned up.
Speaker 2: I got fit, but I didn't lose weight as such. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but every article that came out about me was and
Speaker 2: this is months down the track, and it's like Brittany
Speaker 2: showing Honeybanger what he's missing, Brittany's revenge body, Britney's post
Speaker 2: break up body, and I was like, what, Like, this
Speaker 2: person isn't even on my radar or my mind in
Speaker 2: this situation. I'm literally just exercising in my life, in
Speaker 2: my normal day. I don't even think about Nick. The
Speaker 2: photo I've just posted has nothing to do with Nick,
Speaker 2: but the media that's all they think about when they
Speaker 2: look at a woman's body.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's another reason why the concept of
Speaker 1: revenge body, literally as a label and as a word,
Speaker 1: it has such negative connotations for two reasons. One of
Speaker 1: them is because it means that, like your inherent worth
Speaker 1: is all tied up in how much you weigh. But secondly,
Speaker 1: if you have lost weight as a really positive outlet,
Speaker 1: because you have thrown yourself into exercise and that's been
Speaker 1: great for your mental health and you're taking time and
Speaker 1: caring about yourself, someone referring to it as a revenge
Speaker 1: body means the only reason why you're doing it is
Speaker 1: to get back at someone. So it takes away something
Speaker 1: that could be positive and makes it about the man again,
Speaker 1: which I find so frustrating. Just going back on what
Speaker 1: you said about how no one talks about a man's
Speaker 1: revenge body, one of the things that we kind of
Speaker 1: touched on was that a guy can get so jacked
Speaker 1: post breakup, he can get super fit, look delicious, and
Speaker 1: the only thing that you'll ever see in the media
Speaker 1: as well or like in conversations doesn't have to just
Speaker 1: be in the media. But it's always a conversation which
Speaker 1: is like, look how hot he got. It's never look
Speaker 1: at how he's tried to seek revenge on his ex.
Speaker 1: Look how he's trying to make his ex jealous. We
Speaker 1: don't talk about it like that. We only talk about
Speaker 1: women trying to get back at a man or trying
Speaker 1: to enact revenge on a man. The way we look
Speaker 1: post breakup seems to still be tied.
Speaker 2: Into the X. Look, there are some issues with this
Speaker 2: whole idea of revenge body as well. There's this possibility
Speaker 2: that the photos that you're taking so much time and
Speaker 2: effort to a shred your body, be go and do
Speaker 2: your photo shoot, see to post your photo in hopes
Speaker 2: that just maybe your ex is going to stumble across it.
Speaker 2: We all get stuck into this idea of I just
Speaker 2: hope he sees this somehow, so he sees how happy
Speaker 2: I am, how successful I am, how much weight I've lost,
Speaker 2: how toned I look. We've all been there, and I
Speaker 2: don't think I know anyone in my life that hasn't
Speaker 2: posted a photo or or you know, put I guess
Speaker 2: I don't want to say first trap because they're not
Speaker 2: first traps, but someone that hasn't done something purely with
Speaker 2: the intention of hoping their X season.
Speaker 1: I mean, like I've talked about on this podcast before,
Speaker 1: how I used to post quote. See I don't know
Speaker 1: revenge body, but I had an aspirational quote for you.
Speaker 1: I'm living my most aspirational life.
Speaker 2: But hang on, was the quote, was the quote the
Speaker 2: photo or was the quote in the caption that a
Speaker 2: companied a photo of you looking hot?
Speaker 1: No, it was usually a quote in the photo, and
Speaker 1: then i'd put an emoji of.
Speaker 2: Like a heart or sparks. Maybe it was a moon
Speaker 2: because it was a full moon. Who knows. I'm very cryptic,
Speaker 2: very deep. Would they still be on your page if
Speaker 2: I'm back? God? No, no, no, I'm a whole new person. Now.
Speaker 2: Did you went through your quote phase? We'll forgive you.
Speaker 2: Did you ever post a photo purely of you thinking
Speaker 2: you're really hot for the intention that your ex might
Speaker 2: see it and regret what he has done?
Speaker 1: Or I'm sure I have, Like I can't think of it.
Speaker 1: I can't think of an example right now. But one
Speaker 1: of the things I have done so me post breakup
Speaker 1: my first my first like real heartbreak, like proper heartbreak.
Speaker 1: We were together for six years, and I did not
Speaker 1: cope with the breakup very well. I was very much
Speaker 1: in love with this man, and I thought that we
Speaker 1: were gonna get married and spend our lives together.
Speaker 2: But he broke up with me, and I'm not twisted.
Speaker 2: Oh guys, it really went awry.
Speaker 1: But I did this like I had very disordered eating
Speaker 1: as a result of that breakup, and I and I
Speaker 1: did it as a way of controlling, controlling something in
Speaker 1: my life. When my life felt very out of control.
Speaker 1: I started exercising heaps, not because it was a healthy
Speaker 1: outlet for me, but because I could see that I
Speaker 1: was losing weight and then I was only eating one
Speaker 1: meal a day. I was really not taking care of
Speaker 1: myself in that respect. But I felt so good that
Speaker 1: I was so skinny, and that made me feel better
Speaker 1: about myself. It made me feel better that even though
Speaker 1: he didn't want me, I thought I looked so bangin'
Speaker 1: And then when I did run into him eventually he
Speaker 1: was like, you look sick like you.
Speaker 2: Fuck You were like, damn it.
Speaker 1: But I almost got off on that a little bit
Speaker 1: at the time as well, because because I liked that
Speaker 1: he then knew that I needed him.
Speaker 2: I felt like, look what you've done to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I felt like it made him respet for it,
Speaker 1: and it just I think it really now, Like looking back,
Speaker 1: I was very young at the time. I don't have
Speaker 1: those issues with my body or with the way that
Speaker 1: I eat, all the way that.
Speaker 2: I deal with problems anymore. I don't deal with stress
Speaker 2: in the same way. But I think now when I
Speaker 2: look back on it, like, I feel really sorry for
Speaker 2: that girl. My whole worth was based on what I
Speaker 2: thought I looked like, and if I was skinnier, if
Speaker 2: I was prettier, then maybe he would want to be
Speaker 2: with me. And I think it's really important to drive
Speaker 2: that part of the conversation home, which is like, your
Speaker 2: worth is not based in what you look like. Your
Speaker 2: worth is based on who you are as a person.
Speaker 2: And if someone only wants to be with you or
Speaker 2: get back with you because you've gotten skinnier or hotter,
Speaker 2: or you've changed something about yourself, then that is not
Speaker 2: somebody who you should be investing any of your time,
Speaker 2: you'll love, or your energy into. I'm sorry you went
Speaker 2: through that stage, and I don't think it's uncommon at all.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people listening right now would
Speaker 2: have gone through that exact thing, and they might be
Speaker 2: going through that right now, thinking that someone will want
Speaker 2: them back and love them more if they're thinner, if
Speaker 2: they look better, if they're more toned. I remember I
Speaker 2: was this guy for a while who we got along
Speaker 2: really well. He was foreign, so there was some barriers there,
Speaker 2: but I remember he told me. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I've told you before. I remember he told me I'd
Speaker 2: be hotter if I lost five kilos. He told me
Speaker 2: I'd be hotter if I lost five kilos, And I
Speaker 2: literally walked out of that house and got a pizza. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm so lucky that I'm like. It's stung. And there
Speaker 2: was part of me that was like, maybe I would be,
Speaker 2: maybe I should. But then I'm lucky that I can
Speaker 2: click myself back out of that and say, no, I
Speaker 2: know my self worth is not on how skinny I am.
Speaker 2: But you're so lucky that you have that mindset, whereas
Speaker 2: I don't think. I think I had a lot of
Speaker 2: work for it. It doesn't come. I have a lot
Speaker 2: of issues with my body. I'm I as you know,
Speaker 2: I will speak really negatively about myself, but I will
Speaker 2: pull myself out of that really quickly.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who don't have that
Speaker 1: ability necessarily. And somebody's saying you'd be hotter if you
Speaker 1: lost five kilos. Some people might have the self confidence
Speaker 1: to be like, screw you, pal, And I hope that
Speaker 1: we can empower women who are listening to this to
Speaker 1: have that confidence. But I know that there are also
Speaker 1: women who would hear that and it would make them
Speaker 1: think and believe, I will be better if I lose weight,
Speaker 1: and that's happened to so many people. It's things like
Speaker 1: that which is what sets people off into disordered eating
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: And that's why I want to talk about it now.
Speaker 2: And that's why I want to highlight the fact that
Speaker 2: somebody telling you you need to change your body to
Speaker 2: be more worthy of them or for them to be
Speaker 2: more attracted to you, that's not the sort of person
Speaker 2: you want to be with. You want to be with
Speaker 2: somebody that sees who you are for your character and
Speaker 2: your ambition and your drive, because you're a sassy batterus
Speaker 2: bitch exactly. And I do want you guys to know
Speaker 2: that nothing your self worth and what you are able
Speaker 2: to do in achieving your life absolutely has no correlation
Speaker 2: to the number on a scale.
Speaker 1: I really love this quote this lady whose name is
Speaker 1: Michelle Ellman, who is a body positive coach. She has said,
Speaker 1: if you are changing your body for someone else, you
Speaker 1: are the one that loses in the end because you
Speaker 1: are still letting that person dictate your life and your body,
Speaker 1: and you were doing it for their approval. She's also
Speaker 1: then gone on to say what happens when you don't
Speaker 1: get that approval, which, like you said, maybe you put
Speaker 1: up that photo on Instagram hoping to not first trap,
Speaker 1: but you know, first trap them and to seeing how
Speaker 1: how great you look, how much fun you're having. What
Speaker 1: happens when you don't get that approval they have still
Speaker 1: remained the focus of your life. And it also sends
Speaker 1: an implicit message that the reason why they should have
Speaker 1: stayed with you is for your appearance.
Speaker 2: Also, I want to highlight something that it's not really
Speaker 2: spoken about, but the people that you see that have
Speaker 2: bulging six packs and like no fatt on them and
Speaker 2: they're so so lean, the body builders, the people that
Speaker 2: are competing in physique competitions, those people, I can tell
Speaker 2: you are really unhealthy. They have cut their calories in half.
Speaker 2: They are probably standing on stage fatigued, they're dehydrated because
Speaker 2: they can't drink water for three days. All those things
Speaker 2: that you're seeing, they're not real life and it's not maintainable.
Speaker 2: We are trained society to look at somebody that has
Speaker 2: a six pack and say, oh, they must be so fit,
Speaker 2: when chances are to get that they're sacrificing a lot
Speaker 2: in their life.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that also comes down to something that
Speaker 1: we talk about a lot on this podcast, which is
Speaker 1: this comparison culture.
Speaker 2: Social media. You constantly see so many beautiful fit, skinny
Speaker 2: and I hate that word, but I'm gonna use it
Speaker 2: skinny girls, and then they are held up as the
Speaker 2: benchmark of what is beautiful. But I guarantee a lot
Speaker 2: of people who are on social media preference the way
Speaker 2: they look over their actual physical health. So I think
Speaker 2: using that benchmark of comparison is very, very dangerous because
Speaker 2: we know that that body is it's not aspirational, it's
Speaker 2: not attainable for most people. And a lot of the
Speaker 2: bodies on Instagram are not even freak and real, not
Speaker 2: because they've been face tuned. And I see it every day.
Speaker 2: There are girls on there who I know I'm friends with,
Speaker 2: I follow, and they face tune their photos to make
Speaker 2: themselves look slimmer. And it kills me when I see that,
Speaker 2: because I'm like, I know that that's not real. You know,
Speaker 2: because I know you. I know you, I know you,
Speaker 2: and I think, who are you doing this for. I'm
Speaker 2: all for going through a breakup and getting the fittest
Speaker 2: you've ever been. I'm all for that. I'm all for
Speaker 2: changing your diet and getting the healthiest you've ever been,
Speaker 2: as long as you're doing that purely for yourself to
Speaker 2: feel better in yourself, for your mental health, to make
Speaker 2: yourself happier, to give yourself more energy. I'm the biggest
Speaker 2: advocate for that. It's only crossing a line when you're
Speaker 2: doing it purely to get back at somebody else. If
Speaker 2: you're not doing it for your own personal gains, you're
Speaker 2: doing it for the wrong reason.
Speaker 1: I fully recommend embracing exercise post breakup. I fully recommend
Speaker 1: going for long walks and keeping active, doing anything to
Speaker 1: distract your brain away from how upset you feel. Exactly
Speaker 1: like brit said, what becomes really detrimental is when you're
Speaker 1: trying to do it, and the motivating factor behind it
Speaker 1: is because you think you'll be better when you're something else,
Speaker 1: which you never will be. You're already amazingactly the.
Speaker 2: Way you are. There Actually was a really interesting quote
Speaker 2: that I found from a dating coach, Jonathan Bennett. He
Speaker 2: was an American dating coach, and he says, in my
Speaker 2: personal and professional life, I have never seen the revenge
Speaker 2: body achieve its primary goal of winning back the ex
Speaker 2: or creating jealousy. Never.
Speaker 1: It totally trivializes whatever the issues were in the relationship
Speaker 1: to start with, like you didn't get broken up with
Speaker 1: or the relationship didn't end because of the way one
Speaker 1: of you looked like.
Speaker 2: That wasn't the reasoning behind it. And it's hard because,
Speaker 2: especially in Australia, we do have a bit of a
Speaker 2: history of reality TV stars, for example, going through breakups
Speaker 2: and losing drastic amounts of weight and then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, that's all the meat is talking about post
Speaker 2: breakup body, revenge body, and all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 2: all we're seen, it's all our youth are scene, or
Speaker 2: it's even I all I'm looking at is, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this girl's lost so much weight. She's getting all these
Speaker 2: amazing affirmations and everyone everyone's saying she's doing an incredible job,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, even subconsciously, it's been drilled
Speaker 2: into our minds so that that's what we need to
Speaker 2: do to get any applause.
Speaker 1: Just to bring it back around to Adele for like
Speaker 1: a quick second, this woman she has the voice of
Speaker 1: an angel. She's an immensely talented and successful person whose
Speaker 1: accomplishments are big enough without the backhanded compliment of like, oh,
Speaker 1: you look so amazing now that you've lost weight. But
Speaker 1: I guess it just comes back to why is it
Speaker 1: something that we feel the need to constantly talk about?
Speaker 1: And I know that we're talking about on this podcast,
Speaker 1: So maybe that's a redundant and ironic thing to even say.
Speaker 2: But as someone that used to be a personal trainer,
Speaker 2: my sister's nutritioner, she coaches people to lose weight, we
Speaker 2: know how hard a lot of people do have to
Speaker 2: work to make healthy changes in their life. And I
Speaker 2: think those people should be applauded if they have actually
Speaker 2: worked so hard to change their life to be healthier
Speaker 2: and be happier and have more energy, then I think
Speaker 2: we should be saying well done, you look great, because
Speaker 2: they feel great and they've worked hard for it. So
Speaker 2: there has to be a fine line. We can't just
Speaker 2: say as a whole community, no, it's fat shaming to
Speaker 2: congratulate someone on weight loss. I disagree with that because
Speaker 2: I don't think it is. If someone's worked hard for that,
Speaker 2: we should be celebrating that with them. The issue comes
Speaker 2: with the words of saying like, you've had a glow
Speaker 2: up or you look so amazing now, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: she looked amazing before, and she was pretty glown up
Speaker 2: a year ago when she was winning all the Grammys.
Speaker 2: But I totally appreciate the same thing, Like I appreciate
Speaker 2: that if somebody has worked so hard and in a
Speaker 2: healthy way to be at their goalway or to look
Speaker 2: a certain way because it's what they want for themselves,
Speaker 2: then we should absolutely be able to appreciate and applaud
Speaker 2: someone in that. I think I just want to wrap
Speaker 2: this up by really reiterating that your body should not
Speaker 2: be the deciding factor in whether or not someone wants
Speaker 2: to be in a committed relationship with you, and anybody
Speaker 2: that is worth dating will believe character is more important. Amen,
Speaker 2: Amen an Adelfa President. All Right, guys, if you've been
Speaker 2: with us for a while, then you would know that
Speaker 2: we never finished an episode with.
Speaker 1: Our suck and our wheat and our sucking. Our sweet
Speaker 1: is just our highlights and our low lights of the week.
Speaker 1: Brittany's doing a weird dance right now, and I'm kind
Speaker 1: of into it. I'm kind of weird it out.
Speaker 2: It's getting late, all right, Brittany, give me your suck.
Speaker 2: So I told you, guys before I went to put
Speaker 2: McRoy to see my family, and we have this amazing brunch.
Speaker 2: My sister made French toes with like a berry compot
Speaker 2: and maple syrup and the whole kinkaboodle. So we have
Speaker 2: this family dog. It sounds like a sweet. It was
Speaker 2: the sweep my family dog. We have a Rhodesian ridge
Speaker 2: back Lily, and she is a solid sixty kilos. Like
Speaker 2: Rhodesian ridgebacks, they're actually bread to hunt lions. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you know that. I do know that used
Speaker 2: to have one. Yeah, line hunters, so they beat back
Speaker 2: for a bit of trigger from Britain. Laura. They're big
Speaker 2: dogs anyway, but my Lily is the biggest of this
Speaker 2: breed I have ever seen. So she just I turned
Speaker 2: away for like two seconds, turned back and her head
Speaker 2: is at kitchen table. She just took the pancakes in
Speaker 2: her mouth and wanted. She didn't even have to jump up.
Speaker 2: She did a drive by. She did the smoothest drive by.
Speaker 2: She just walked past, went head off to the sign
Speaker 2: and kept walking. I didn't even know. It's like a ninja.
Speaker 2: She's like a ninja pancake ceiling dot. She's a sixty
Speaker 2: kilo humongous or adiger Rebeck ninja. Oh put a photo
Speaker 2: on my story. But she's the cutest thing. So that
Speaker 2: was my suck for you know, I used a data
Speaker 2: guy who had a great Dane and this one time
Speaker 2: he brought home a barbecue chicken and the great Dane
Speaker 2: just ate the whole barbecue chicken off the table Lily.
Speaker 2: It's not Lily's first kitchen attack. We got a whole
Speaker 2: kilo of bacon out it was frozen one night. We
Speaker 2: can obviously put in a pastra or saying I don't know.
Speaker 2: She did a drive by bacon thing. The kilo of
Speaker 2: frozen bacon. That's good for a dog. It's great, unstoppable.
Speaker 2: I bet She smelled amazing a few hours later, as
Speaker 2: good as my car smelt after the key share. All right,
Speaker 2: what is your sweet? My sweet would have to be
Speaker 2: the fact that I just did go to Palm Corey
Speaker 2: and I spent some time with my family after five months,
Speaker 2: and we just had some really nice quality time and
Speaker 2: I forgot how much I needed it and missed it.
Speaker 2: So wholesome, isn't it? It was the most wholesome two days.
Speaker 1: It really feels like things are shifting. Well, they are
Speaker 1: shifting obviously, we're like coming out of phase one.
Speaker 2: We're going to be in phase two soon. So is
Speaker 2: it phase two? Is that what it's called.
Speaker 1: I don't know things are shift phase if phase, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what's happening in the world anymore. It's
Speaker 1: just too it's been too wild, and I feel like
Speaker 1: we're going to be back into normal life really really soon.
Speaker 1: And I feel like we're going to forget this ever happened.
Speaker 1: No one is going to forget this ever happened.
