0:00:18.339 --> 0:00:22.218
<v Speaker 2>A pickup with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.

0:00:22.619 --> 0:00:26.618
<v Speaker 3>Brady, your work, our windows down, that's my world.

0:00:26.659 --> 0:00:29.619
<v Speaker 4>Reason the dust only good, bab Doug all down.

0:00:30.619 --> 0:00:33.459
<v Speaker 2>I don't much, but yeah I'm not.

0:00:33.899 --> 0:00:35.659
<v Speaker 3>I'll big get and what I want.

0:00:35.939 --> 0:00:37.619
<v Speaker 2>It don't matter where done.

0:00:37.699 --> 0:00:40.619
<v Speaker 1>This is the pickup, Hi, guys, It's the pick up

0:00:40.659 --> 0:00:42.299
<v Speaker 1>with Britt Hockley and Laura Burn.

0:00:42.659 --> 0:00:44.739
<v Speaker 4>And it's the end of the week already. Is this

0:00:44.819 --> 0:00:46.299
<v Speaker 4>literally the shortest week of the year.

0:00:46.339 --> 0:00:47.019
<v Speaker 2>I think it is.

0:00:47.259 --> 0:00:50.059
<v Speaker 1>Hi for anyone who didn't take these like three days off,

0:00:50.379 --> 0:00:51.539
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're all chumps.

0:00:51.539 --> 0:00:53.219
<v Speaker 2>I say this because I am also a chump. We

0:00:53.219 --> 0:00:54.139
<v Speaker 2>are also at work.

0:00:54.419 --> 0:00:58.179
<v Speaker 1>But this long weekend holiday Easter Holiday into end Zac Holiday,

0:00:58.179 --> 0:01:00.259
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it's the holiday that never ended. And

0:01:00.339 --> 0:01:02.579
<v Speaker 1>some kids are in school holidays and some kids are

0:01:02.579 --> 0:01:05.139
<v Speaker 1>back at school. I just think, like, just take it off.

0:01:05.379 --> 0:01:08.938
<v Speaker 4>I love the idea that we've bookended public holiday, but

0:01:09.059 --> 0:01:11.898
<v Speaker 4>it does feel unnecessary to come back for three days.

0:01:11.979 --> 0:01:13.539
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of people are calling in sick.

0:01:13.578 --> 0:01:15.139
<v Speaker 4>I think a lot of people go to their bosses

0:01:15.419 --> 0:01:17.738
<v Speaker 4>and say, hey, can I book annually? Their bosses say

0:01:17.859 --> 0:01:19.578
<v Speaker 4>that chance, and they're like, cool, I'm going to call

0:01:19.619 --> 0:01:21.018
<v Speaker 4>in sick. Anyway, we may as.

0:01:20.938 --> 0:01:23.018
<v Speaker 3>Well make it a week long holidays.

0:01:23.018 --> 0:01:25.539
<v Speaker 1>Those three days are the smartest three days to take

0:01:25.578 --> 0:01:29.298
<v Speaker 1>your annual holidays in. Like, surely bosses are not rejecting

0:01:29.339 --> 0:01:31.699
<v Speaker 1>that type of holiday unless you've already taken heaps of it.

0:01:32.059 --> 0:01:33.899
<v Speaker 1>Surely there are that many bosses out there that are

0:01:33.899 --> 0:01:35.859
<v Speaker 1>rejecting those three days and saying no, you've got to

0:01:35.859 --> 0:01:36.219
<v Speaker 1>come in.

0:01:36.458 --> 0:01:37.499
<v Speaker 2>Someone has to work.

0:01:37.578 --> 0:01:40.139
<v Speaker 4>Every employee can't come and ask for the same week off,

0:01:40.179 --> 0:01:41.378
<v Speaker 4>then there's no one at work.

0:01:41.578 --> 0:01:43.298
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:01:42.658 --> 0:01:45.938
<v Speaker 4>I imagine if your people came, like at Tony May

0:01:46.059 --> 0:01:47.699
<v Speaker 4>your shop, and they all came and said, well, it

0:01:47.699 --> 0:01:49.299
<v Speaker 4>makes sense, give us the week off to you.

0:01:49.579 --> 0:01:51.579
<v Speaker 1>Never a lot of them did, though a lot of

0:01:51.579 --> 0:01:53.499
<v Speaker 1>them have taken off. But I think in those situations,

0:01:53.499 --> 0:01:55.739
<v Speaker 1>it's a first in best dress. So if like half

0:01:55.779 --> 0:01:58.819
<v Speaker 1>the officers or it was smart enough to get themselves organized,

0:01:59.019 --> 0:02:00.659
<v Speaker 1>then I'm kind of like fair play game on.

0:02:00.739 --> 0:02:02.019
<v Speaker 2>But not everyone can do it.

0:02:02.099 --> 0:02:04.219
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, my heart goes out to all the people

0:02:04.219 --> 0:02:06.899
<v Speaker 1>who worn't smart enough. Aka Brittany and I to ask

0:02:06.899 --> 0:02:08.819
<v Speaker 1>for these three days off, and here we are now

0:02:08.859 --> 0:02:10.659
<v Speaker 1>asking kind of something we do on life funk Up

0:02:10.699 --> 0:02:13.899
<v Speaker 1>podcast every week where we answer You're deep, You're duck,

0:02:13.939 --> 0:02:15.819
<v Speaker 1>and your burning questions. So if you have a dilemma,

0:02:16.219 --> 0:02:18.019
<v Speaker 1>give us a call and you might get through. We

0:02:18.059 --> 0:02:20.499
<v Speaker 1>have Sarah on the line, and Sarah is a mum

0:02:20.859 --> 0:02:23.219
<v Speaker 1>who is having a little bit of trouble, not with

0:02:23.339 --> 0:02:25.339
<v Speaker 1>the friend that she's made, but with the kids.

0:02:25.698 --> 0:02:26.819
<v Speaker 2>Sarah, what's going on?

0:02:27.819 --> 0:02:31.978
<v Speaker 5>Hi, girls, I've finally made a mum friend. Our little

0:02:32.219 --> 0:02:35.179
<v Speaker 5>kids go to school together. We have the same interest,

0:02:35.258 --> 0:02:40.059
<v Speaker 5>the same value in our parenting. However, unfortunately it's our

0:02:40.179 --> 0:02:43.739
<v Speaker 5>younger children that when we get together, they just clash

0:02:43.779 --> 0:02:45.339
<v Speaker 5>and they're just constantly fighting.

0:02:46.138 --> 0:02:48.779
<v Speaker 1>So you are worried that you can't be friends, or

0:02:48.899 --> 0:02:51.579
<v Speaker 1>you like, is it possibly? Like what's the what are

0:02:51.619 --> 0:02:52.939
<v Speaker 1>you wanting to do with it?

0:02:53.978 --> 0:02:57.819
<v Speaker 5>So we are friends, However, I just find that when

0:02:57.859 --> 0:03:00.099
<v Speaker 5>we go to catch up, I'm like, oh, it's going

0:03:00.138 --> 0:03:04.019
<v Speaker 5>to be a bit dousing. You know, likes constantly the

0:03:04.059 --> 0:03:04.858
<v Speaker 5>younger ones apart.

0:03:05.138 --> 0:03:08.299
<v Speaker 1>I feel for you, Sarah, because it's it's actually so hard,

0:03:08.698 --> 0:03:10.779
<v Speaker 1>not only just like when you're a mum, and you're

0:03:10.779 --> 0:03:12.698
<v Speaker 1>trying to find someone who parents in a similar way,

0:03:12.739 --> 0:03:15.939
<v Speaker 1>has similar parenting values. I think a really big part

0:03:15.978 --> 0:03:17.979
<v Speaker 1>of it being like enjoyable for the both of you

0:03:18.099 --> 0:03:19.578
<v Speaker 1>is that your kids have to get along as well.

0:03:19.619 --> 0:03:22.699
<v Speaker 1>Like it's so hard to find that magic mix. My

0:03:22.779 --> 0:03:24.499
<v Speaker 1>thing is is like, of course you can be friends,

0:03:25.059 --> 0:03:28.139
<v Speaker 1>but you might find the overtime the friendship becomes hard

0:03:28.258 --> 0:03:30.178
<v Speaker 1>because the kids make it hard, do you know what

0:03:30.219 --> 0:03:30.499
<v Speaker 1>I mean?

0:03:30.659 --> 0:03:33.298
<v Speaker 4>But can you not be friends outside of the kids,

0:03:33.499 --> 0:03:35.619
<v Speaker 4>like you, I don't know if you guys have supportive

0:03:35.659 --> 0:03:38.699
<v Speaker 4>families or partners or babysitters, but you can definitely have

0:03:39.059 --> 0:03:42.458
<v Speaker 4>adult friends where you meet them for an early dinner

0:03:42.699 --> 0:03:44.259
<v Speaker 4>or a wine or like, it doesn't always have to

0:03:44.259 --> 0:03:45.699
<v Speaker 4>be involved with the kid dates.

0:03:45.539 --> 0:03:48.019
<v Speaker 5>Right, Yeah, maybe a mix of both.

0:03:48.419 --> 0:03:51.099
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you can always do a mix. But

0:03:51.219 --> 0:03:53.099
<v Speaker 1>but it's hard, brit Like, I mean, I know for me,

0:03:53.659 --> 0:03:55.979
<v Speaker 1>with the friends that I have who are mums that

0:03:56.019 --> 0:03:58.899
<v Speaker 1>we hang out and they've got kids similar age, you

0:03:58.939 --> 0:04:02.019
<v Speaker 1>really want to find friends where your kids also get along,

0:04:02.059 --> 0:04:03.619
<v Speaker 1>because it just means that they can run off and

0:04:03.619 --> 0:04:05.618
<v Speaker 1>play and you actually get to have an adult conversation.

0:04:05.699 --> 0:04:08.179
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise you spend the whole time catching up with this

0:04:08.219 --> 0:04:10.299
<v Speaker 1>person that you want to hang out with, but you're

0:04:10.339 --> 0:04:12.259
<v Speaker 1>just fighting fires because your kids are screaming at each

0:04:12.299 --> 0:04:15.699
<v Speaker 1>other or having fired or like someone's breaking something like Okay,

0:04:15.779 --> 0:04:17.699
<v Speaker 1>is it just like both kids in general are tricky

0:04:17.779 --> 0:04:19.459
<v Speaker 1>or do you feel that there's like a one sided

0:04:19.499 --> 0:04:20.539
<v Speaker 1>trickiness that's going on.

0:04:21.579 --> 0:04:24.339
<v Speaker 5>I think they're just both similar personalities. So they're both

0:04:24.419 --> 0:04:26.659
<v Speaker 5>like sort of stubborn, Whereas like my oldest son, he

0:04:26.659 --> 0:04:28.619
<v Speaker 5>would normally give in and be like, Okay, you're gonna

0:04:28.619 --> 0:04:31.579
<v Speaker 5>have the toy and my daughter, whereas my daughter's strong

0:04:31.659 --> 0:04:33.899
<v Speaker 5>willed and she's at no way, I'm not giving into this.

0:04:34.179 --> 0:04:37.499
<v Speaker 5>How old are they they're three. My daughter's three and

0:04:37.539 --> 0:04:39.819
<v Speaker 5>her daughter's four, so a little bit of an age gap.

0:04:39.859 --> 0:04:41.659
<v Speaker 5>But they're just both similar personalities.

0:04:41.699 --> 0:04:43.739
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know what, though, they might actually get

0:04:43.739 --> 0:04:45.659
<v Speaker 1>better the more time they spend together, Like the more

0:04:45.659 --> 0:04:47.539
<v Speaker 1>we're out of it, Yeah, the more exposure they have

0:04:47.699 --> 0:04:49.499
<v Speaker 1>with each other, and the more that they start to

0:04:49.499 --> 0:04:51.299
<v Speaker 1>realize that this isn't something that they get to opt

0:04:51.299 --> 0:04:52.699
<v Speaker 1>in on. That they're gonna you know, they're going to

0:04:52.779 --> 0:04:54.499
<v Speaker 1>be spending time playing together. They're going to see more

0:04:54.499 --> 0:04:56.299
<v Speaker 1>of each other. You might find that they have their

0:04:56.299 --> 0:04:58.099
<v Speaker 1>own little friendship that develops as well. I think that

0:04:58.139 --> 0:04:59.139
<v Speaker 1>stuff can take time, but.

0:04:59.219 --> 0:05:01.699
<v Speaker 4>Our advice is exposure therapy, just like throw them in,

0:05:01.859 --> 0:05:03.699
<v Speaker 4>let them more lines for.

0:05:03.859 --> 0:05:04.619
<v Speaker 2>You and the other mom.

0:05:05.179 --> 0:05:08.259
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely persist through it. Do you think I see.

0:05:08.099 --> 0:05:09.619
<v Speaker 3>To sacrifice a friend.

0:05:10.339 --> 0:05:12.099
<v Speaker 4>I just think even if she does become a friend

0:05:12.139 --> 0:05:14.179
<v Speaker 4>that's not a kid date friend, and you get to

0:05:14.219 --> 0:05:16.259
<v Speaker 4>see it once a fortnite for a catch up, maybe

0:05:16.259 --> 0:05:16.699
<v Speaker 4>you're going.

0:05:16.539 --> 0:05:18.659
<v Speaker 2>For a walk together, whatever it is.

0:05:18.819 --> 0:05:21.299
<v Speaker 4>It is really hard to meet people as adults that

0:05:21.299 --> 0:05:22.899
<v Speaker 4>you connect with and you want to spend time with.

0:05:23.019 --> 0:05:25.539
<v Speaker 4>So I do think that sometimes you need to try

0:05:25.579 --> 0:05:27.539
<v Speaker 4>and make yourself a priority. And I know I'm not

0:05:27.579 --> 0:05:29.659
<v Speaker 4>a mum, but I know all of my friends that

0:05:29.739 --> 0:05:32.379
<v Speaker 4>are moms don't prioritize themselves. It's a part of being

0:05:32.419 --> 0:05:35.219
<v Speaker 4>a mum, like there's always someone or something else more important.

0:05:35.579 --> 0:05:37.539
<v Speaker 4>But at the end of the day, you do need

0:05:37.579 --> 0:05:39.019
<v Speaker 4>to do some things for you too. If you've found

0:05:39.059 --> 0:05:41.019
<v Speaker 4>someone that you enjoy spending time with and you know

0:05:41.099 --> 0:05:42.699
<v Speaker 4>that's rare for you, I don't think you need to

0:05:42.699 --> 0:05:44.579
<v Speaker 4>give it up just because your kids want to reap

0:05:44.579 --> 0:05:45.739
<v Speaker 4>each other's hair out.

0:05:46.779 --> 0:05:48.738
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely, Sarah.

0:05:48.819 --> 0:05:50.979

0:06:01.459 --> 0:06:04.219
<v Speaker 1>like it really is, trying to find the right mix

0:06:04.259 --> 0:06:06.019
<v Speaker 1>of like a friend who you get along with and

0:06:06.059 --> 0:06:09.659

0:06:52.339 --> 0:06:55.699

0:07:01.139 --> 0:07:04.339
<v Speaker 4>his hand, and you're gonna be holding some really important

0:07:04.379 --> 0:07:06.659
<v Speaker 4>things and then when you get down to the end,

0:07:06.939 --> 0:07:08.419
<v Speaker 4>you're going to hand them to Uncle Ben.

0:07:08.659 --> 0:07:10.459
<v Speaker 3>Like I made this whole big thing. I was like,

0:07:10.539 --> 0:07:12.419
<v Speaker 3>it's the most important role.

0:07:12.259 --> 0:07:14.099
<v Speaker 2>Of the day. So he was the ring bearer? Is

0:07:14.139 --> 0:07:14.979
<v Speaker 2>that what you were asking him?

0:07:15.019 --> 0:07:17.019
<v Speaker 4>Well? Yeah, but I'm giving him multiple jobs, so he's

0:07:17.019 --> 0:07:18.099
<v Speaker 4>not just the ring bearer.

0:07:18.139 --> 0:07:19.579
<v Speaker 2>He's like doing a couple of things.

0:07:19.939 --> 0:07:20.299
<v Speaker 3>Anyway.

0:07:20.339 --> 0:07:21.539
<v Speaker 2>I was like, so what do you think?

0:07:21.739 --> 0:07:24.219
<v Speaker 4>And I was expecting him to like hug me and

0:07:24.259 --> 0:07:27.139
<v Speaker 4>like be like, oh, that's so fun and Dead.

0:07:27.019 --> 0:07:29.019
<v Speaker 3>Qui and all the families around Dead Qui and he

0:07:29.059 --> 0:07:38.899
<v Speaker 3>looks up he's like, you know what, No thank you, dude.

0:07:38.939 --> 0:07:40.939
<v Speaker 2>And I said, I said, so what. He's like, no,

0:07:41.059 --> 0:07:41.939
<v Speaker 2>thank you? And I said Oh.

0:07:42.139 --> 0:07:44.499
<v Speaker 4>In my head, I was like, does he understand that

0:07:44.499 --> 0:07:46.259
<v Speaker 4>was a rhetorical question, like he's doing it.

0:07:46.299 --> 0:07:47.939
<v Speaker 3>I was like, what do you mean. No, He's like

0:07:47.939 --> 0:07:49.819
<v Speaker 3>it's it's okay, but thanks for asking.

0:07:50.619 --> 0:07:51.539
<v Speaker 2>And he's a kid.

0:07:51.819 --> 0:07:53.259
<v Speaker 1>This is a kid who has been taught how to

0:07:53.259 --> 0:07:56.859
<v Speaker 1>set good boundaries and I'm all for that. He's like, Brittany, Annie, Brittany,

0:07:57.139 --> 0:07:59.219
<v Speaker 1>this is a boundary. And I don't want to be

0:07:59.299 --> 0:08:01.499
<v Speaker 1>your ring bearer because that sounds like a shitty job.

0:08:01.619 --> 0:08:03.499
<v Speaker 1>I'm not walking down holding my cousin's hand.

0:08:03.819 --> 0:08:06.219
<v Speaker 3>And his mom was like, Parker, you're doing it.

0:08:06.779 --> 0:08:08.899
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, oh, did he if you were a

0:08:08.899 --> 0:08:10.259
<v Speaker 2>reason as to why you didn't want to do it?

0:08:10.299 --> 0:08:12.259
<v Speaker 2>Did he say what? No, he didn't.

0:08:12.339 --> 0:08:15.179
<v Speaker 3>And he was so polite. It was just like saying, hey,

0:08:15.419 --> 0:08:16.619
<v Speaker 3>are you hungry? To you on some chicken?

0:08:16.659 --> 0:08:18.659
<v Speaker 4>He was like no, thanks, Like that was it anyway.

0:08:18.979 --> 0:08:20.699
<v Speaker 4>He came around at the end, but I just thought

0:08:20.739 --> 0:08:22.419
<v Speaker 4>it was so funny. I was like, I can't force

0:08:22.419 --> 0:08:24.259
<v Speaker 4>a kid, but I will bribe him.

0:08:24.299 --> 0:08:25.979
<v Speaker 1>Also, what do you do on the day if a

0:08:26.059 --> 0:08:28.299
<v Speaker 1>kid gets stage fright? All they changed their mind.

0:08:28.139 --> 0:08:30.499
<v Speaker 3>Because oh, we had to not make him.

0:08:30.539 --> 0:08:33.139
<v Speaker 1>We had so many kids in our wedding, all of

0:08:33.179 --> 0:08:35.539
<v Speaker 1>like the nieces and nephews were there, like my kids.

0:08:35.578 --> 0:08:38.419
<v Speaker 1>And at the time, Maley was three and Lola was two,

0:08:38.939 --> 0:08:41.059
<v Speaker 1>And that's a pretty big responsibility for a three year

0:08:41.059 --> 0:08:42.499
<v Speaker 1>old and a two year old to walk down the

0:08:42.539 --> 0:08:43.859
<v Speaker 1>aisle and be the flower girls.

0:08:44.219 --> 0:08:45.819
<v Speaker 2>And I will never forget.

0:08:45.859 --> 0:08:47.739
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting in the car so like my like

0:08:47.819 --> 0:08:49.779
<v Speaker 1>the car that I was in had pulled up, and

0:08:49.859 --> 0:08:51.939
<v Speaker 1>my sister had gotten out with all the children.

0:08:52.059 --> 0:08:54.899
<v Speaker 2>So she had three for five, six seven.

0:08:54.939 --> 0:08:57.739
<v Speaker 1>She had seven kids, two of them under two, and

0:08:57.859 --> 0:08:59.579
<v Speaker 1>most of them were walking down the island.

0:08:59.659 --> 0:09:01.939
<v Speaker 2>She was kind of middle of the pack with these kids.

0:09:02.259 --> 0:09:04.379
<v Speaker 2>And I'm looking from the car window and I just

0:09:04.459 --> 0:09:07.459
<v Speaker 2>see Lola. She just veers off to the right. She's

0:09:07.539 --> 0:09:10.299
<v Speaker 2>walking away. I think she saw a dark or something

0:09:10.619 --> 0:09:11.819
<v Speaker 2>and she just starts walking.

0:09:11.939 --> 0:09:14.899
<v Speaker 1>I'm yelling from the car for someone to get Lola,

0:09:14.979 --> 0:09:16.899
<v Speaker 1>and then half the guests turned around there to me,

0:09:17.299 --> 0:09:17.699
<v Speaker 1>there's me.

0:09:17.699 --> 0:09:18.939
<v Speaker 2>Hanging out the window being.

0:09:18.779 --> 0:09:20.459
<v Speaker 3>Like, get La, La.

0:09:21.379 --> 0:09:23.499
<v Speaker 2>You can't trust him. You can't trust kids. They say,

0:09:23.499 --> 0:09:25.338
<v Speaker 2>don't wait with kids or animals or both.

0:09:25.619 --> 0:09:26.499
<v Speaker 3>It's one of those.

0:09:26.339 --> 0:09:28.419
<v Speaker 4>Things where on the day you just have to accept

0:09:28.419 --> 0:09:30.499
<v Speaker 4>that if there's a child that's upset or doesn't want

0:09:30.499 --> 0:09:31.499
<v Speaker 4>to do it, then they don't do it.

0:09:31.539 --> 0:09:33.939
<v Speaker 2>And I'm absolutely not going to make him.

0:09:33.979 --> 0:09:37.579
<v Speaker 4>But it is big into football, like soccer, and I

0:09:37.659 --> 0:09:39.539
<v Speaker 4>did have to pull out the bribes, and I said

0:09:39.579 --> 0:09:41.899
<v Speaker 4>that Uncle Ben will teach him some football stuff if

0:09:41.939 --> 0:09:43.539
<v Speaker 4>he can make it down the end safely. So I

0:09:43.579 --> 0:09:45.779
<v Speaker 4>don't know if that makes me bad Auntie, I don't know,

0:09:45.899 --> 0:09:47.619
<v Speaker 4>but I think we've got him there.

0:09:47.699 --> 0:09:50.019
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're a parent that's like reached nirvana if

0:09:50.059 --> 0:09:51.379
<v Speaker 1>you don't use bribery on your kids.

0:09:51.379 --> 0:09:52.339
<v Speaker 2>That's what I've realized.

0:09:52.419 --> 0:09:54.739
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like it's number one is nice and

0:09:54.819 --> 0:09:57.419
<v Speaker 1>number two is bribes, and then number three is telling

0:09:57.419 --> 0:10:00.819
<v Speaker 1>them that they're doing it. That's pretty much all you've got.

0:10:00.179 --> 0:10:03.739
<v Speaker 1>I It is not a new thing that most people

0:10:03.779 --> 0:10:07.019
<v Speaker 1>who are dating have used online dating apps Think Tinder,

0:10:07.179 --> 0:10:07.859
<v Speaker 1>think Bumble.

0:10:08.499 --> 0:10:10.779
<v Speaker 2>The criticism that's come with a lot of online dating.

0:10:10.539 --> 0:10:14.859
<v Speaker 1>Apps is that even though most apps are trying to

0:10:15.019 --> 0:10:17.259
<v Speaker 1>kind of encourage things like fill.

0:10:17.019 --> 0:10:19.659
<v Speaker 2>Out your bio, answer questions.

0:10:19.259 --> 0:10:22.979
<v Speaker 1>About yourself add more value, people still seem to get

0:10:23.019 --> 0:10:25.619
<v Speaker 1>caught up in looking at the pictures and making their

0:10:25.659 --> 0:10:28.099
<v Speaker 1>decisions based on the way someone looks over the person

0:10:28.099 --> 0:10:29.499
<v Speaker 1>that someone actually is on a dating.

0:10:29.339 --> 0:10:31.979
<v Speaker 4>App, which of course they're going to do that. That's

0:10:32.019 --> 0:10:33.579
<v Speaker 4>like the first thing you're gonna look at. Whether you

0:10:33.619 --> 0:10:35.899
<v Speaker 4>say you're not superficial, whether you say looks don't matter,

0:10:35.979 --> 0:10:38.099
<v Speaker 4>Like when you are faced with a written bio and

0:10:38.139 --> 0:10:40.059
<v Speaker 4>a picture of something, you're always gonna look at the person.

0:10:40.139 --> 0:10:42.059
<v Speaker 2>And I've done every app. I shouldn't say every app.

0:10:42.099 --> 0:10:44.819
<v Speaker 4>It in gone Grinder, but I've done most of the

0:10:44.899 --> 0:10:46.979
<v Speaker 4>mainstream dating app Don't get me wrong.

0:10:47.379 --> 0:10:48.859
<v Speaker 1>I think that there are loads of people who are

0:10:48.859 --> 0:10:50.699
<v Speaker 1>not superficially in their dating, Like I think that there

0:10:50.699 --> 0:10:52.699
<v Speaker 1>are loads of people who don't have a specific type

0:10:52.699 --> 0:10:55.619
<v Speaker 1>who date outside the box, et cetera. But you will

0:10:55.699 --> 0:10:58.819
<v Speaker 1>be swayed when you do see a photo because I

0:10:58.819 --> 0:11:00.259
<v Speaker 1>think the thing is is like, if you want to

0:11:00.299 --> 0:11:03.339
<v Speaker 1>go into dating unbiased, the only way to do it

0:11:03.379 --> 0:11:06.059
<v Speaker 1>is to not have any clue what that person looks like,

0:11:06.339 --> 0:11:10.539
<v Speaker 1>so that you're not swayed at all by their physical attractiveness. Now,

0:11:10.539 --> 0:11:13.459
<v Speaker 1>we've seen TV shows like Love is Blind or even

0:11:13.459 --> 0:11:16.379
<v Speaker 1>Love Triangle, which is on stand. For anyone who doesn't

0:11:16.379 --> 0:11:18.459
<v Speaker 1>know what Love is Blind, is you match with someone

0:11:18.619 --> 0:11:21.219
<v Speaker 1>and you grow a connection with them, but you don't

0:11:21.219 --> 0:11:23.299
<v Speaker 1>actually see what they look like. So you choose the

0:11:23.299 --> 0:11:25.219
<v Speaker 1>person that you want to be with based on the

0:11:25.219 --> 0:11:28.339
<v Speaker 1>fact that you have chemistry and connection and shared values

0:11:28.339 --> 0:11:30.179
<v Speaker 1>and all this sort of stuff, but you have no

0:11:30.339 --> 0:11:33.779
<v Speaker 1>clue what they look like until you've committed. Well, there

0:11:33.819 --> 0:11:35.579
<v Speaker 1>is a new dating app that's come out, and it's

0:11:35.579 --> 0:11:38.579
<v Speaker 1>called Tribal. It's been created by a psychologist, and the

0:11:38.619 --> 0:11:41.139
<v Speaker 1>reason for this is basically the same premise. You go

0:11:41.179 --> 0:11:43.819
<v Speaker 1>on there, you match, you chat, you share what you're

0:11:43.819 --> 0:11:46.939
<v Speaker 1>looking for, your values, everything else, but you cannot see

0:11:46.939 --> 0:11:49.579
<v Speaker 1>the person's photos for seventy two hours.

0:11:50.019 --> 0:11:51.779
<v Speaker 4>I think seventy two hours is the perfect amount.

0:11:51.899 --> 0:11:53.699
<v Speaker 1>Well, seventy two hours is a good amount of time

0:11:53.739 --> 0:11:55.619
<v Speaker 1>to know if you've got banter with someone, Yeah, and

0:11:55.699 --> 0:11:57.419
<v Speaker 1>know if you've got chemistry with someone.

0:11:57.259 --> 0:11:59.019
<v Speaker 3>You're not too deep that you can't divorce them.

0:11:59.619 --> 0:12:01.458
<v Speaker 2>You're not married. Yeah, it's not a marrit at first

0:12:01.499 --> 0:12:02.179
<v Speaker 2>site situation.

0:12:02.299 --> 0:12:04.139
<v Speaker 4>But then it gets a bit awkward, right, If you've

0:12:04.179 --> 0:12:07.099
<v Speaker 4>got seventy two hours of like proper banter, it's going

0:12:07.179 --> 0:12:10.019
<v Speaker 4>really really well. When you release each other's faces and

0:12:10.059 --> 0:12:13.578
<v Speaker 4>for some reason you really are not physically into it

0:12:13.619 --> 0:12:15.299
<v Speaker 4>at all and you do want to call it quits.

0:12:15.379 --> 0:12:17.419
<v Speaker 4>That's an awkward conversation.

0:12:17.059 --> 0:12:18.299
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But here's the kicker, right.

0:12:18.979 --> 0:12:21.619
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's a pretty good litmus as to

0:12:21.699 --> 0:12:24.899
<v Speaker 1>how superficial you might be or how much you prioritize

0:12:25.259 --> 0:12:27.539
<v Speaker 1>looks in your dating and in your relationships, because if

0:12:27.579 --> 0:12:30.819
<v Speaker 1>you're having these great connections with people and then you're

0:12:30.979 --> 0:12:32.739
<v Speaker 1>matching with them, and then you're seeing their photos and

0:12:32.819 --> 0:12:35.619
<v Speaker 1>afterwards you're like, hmm, not even going to entertain a date,

0:12:35.939 --> 0:12:38.659
<v Speaker 1>like if that seems to be your predetermined preset or

0:12:38.659 --> 0:12:40.939
<v Speaker 1>like over and over and over again, I'd be like,

0:12:41.059 --> 0:12:42.979
<v Speaker 1>maybe you need to date outside the box and try

0:12:42.979 --> 0:12:45.659
<v Speaker 1>someone that isn't your quote unquote classic type, because there

0:12:45.739 --> 0:12:47.578
<v Speaker 1>might be a reason why the relationships aren't working out.

0:12:47.579 --> 0:12:49.299
<v Speaker 1>Your type might not be a good type for you.

0:12:49.299 --> 0:12:51.379
<v Speaker 1>Your type might be an asshole. We've all been there,

0:12:51.379 --> 0:12:52.739
<v Speaker 1>we've all done it. I had a type once one

0:12:52.779 --> 0:12:53.379
<v Speaker 1>a time as well.

0:12:53.539 --> 0:12:54.858
<v Speaker 2>I do think it'll stop.

0:12:54.579 --> 0:12:57.459
<v Speaker 4>The gamification though of dating and I think of dating apps, sorry,

0:12:57.499 --> 0:13:00.219
<v Speaker 4>And I think it will increase more intentional dating because

0:13:00.219 --> 0:13:02.899
<v Speaker 4>it's sometimes you go on dating apps for the validation,

0:13:03.059 --> 0:13:04.659
<v Speaker 4>like you want to go on. You want to say, oh,

0:13:04.699 --> 0:13:06.219
<v Speaker 4>these I've matched with all these hot people.

0:13:06.859 --> 0:13:07.059
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:07.099 --> 0:13:09.619
<v Speaker 2>You to feel confidence, you feel.

0:13:09.379 --> 0:13:10.419
<v Speaker 3>Good about yourself.

0:13:10.459 --> 0:13:12.899
<v Speaker 4>You get to chat to a hot person briefly, whatever,

0:13:12.979 --> 0:13:14.819
<v Speaker 4>someone you know, subjective that you think is hot. But

0:13:14.859 --> 0:13:16.859
<v Speaker 4>in this it has to be more intentional because you're

0:13:16.899 --> 0:13:18.659
<v Speaker 4>only going on there to put the effort in. You

0:13:18.699 --> 0:13:20.338
<v Speaker 4>have to have the connection. You have to have the

0:13:20.379 --> 0:13:23.139
<v Speaker 4>banter before you discover who are If you were dating,

0:13:23.259 --> 0:13:25.099
<v Speaker 4>would you try and app like this, Yeah, I would,

0:13:25.139 --> 0:13:26.819
<v Speaker 4>but just for the content, probably to bring it to

0:13:26.859 --> 0:13:27.179
<v Speaker 4>you here.

0:13:27.219 --> 0:13:30.179
<v Speaker 1>Really I reckon I would not just for content. I

0:13:30.219 --> 0:13:33.099
<v Speaker 1>would happily try it. I think I definitely got to

0:13:33.139 --> 0:13:35.099
<v Speaker 1>a place in my online dating where I didn't trust

0:13:35.099 --> 0:13:37.539
<v Speaker 1>my ability to make good judgments on people. So if

0:13:37.579 --> 0:13:40.099
<v Speaker 1>I could match with someone and have like good bantering

0:13:40.139 --> 0:13:41.578
<v Speaker 1>chemistry with them, I think it would have gone a

0:13:41.579 --> 0:13:41.939
<v Speaker 1>long way.

0:13:41.979 --> 0:13:45.739
<v Speaker 2>Also, a guy who can make you laugh, Oh, that's it,

0:13:45.859 --> 0:13:46.899
<v Speaker 2>that's all most women want.

0:13:47.019 --> 0:13:47.819
<v Speaker 3>Nah, that's a lie.

0:13:47.899 --> 0:13:49.819
<v Speaker 4>People say that there's plenty of people that can make

0:13:49.859 --> 0:13:52.179
<v Speaker 4>you laugh that are not good catchers. Like, there's definitely

0:13:52.179 --> 0:13:54.299
<v Speaker 4>more to that, but of course personality is everything. I

0:13:54.339 --> 0:13:57.619
<v Speaker 4>would one hundred percent try this because I was exasperated

0:13:58.339 --> 0:14:01.059
<v Speaker 4>by the online dating community. I was on there for

0:14:01.139 --> 0:14:04.259
<v Speaker 4>so long that it was just the same people in there.

0:14:04.299 --> 0:14:06.379
<v Speaker 4>I was seeing the same people on there, which means

0:14:06.419 --> 0:14:09.219
<v Speaker 4>they were seeing me as well for like eight years.

0:14:10.059 --> 0:14:11.739
<v Speaker 2>She is again, Yeah she's back.

0:14:12.099 --> 0:14:12.779
<v Speaker 3>But I was like that.

0:14:12.899 --> 0:14:14.019
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, here he is again.

0:14:14.739 --> 0:14:17.098
<v Speaker 3>You actually get to know these strangers.

0:14:16.619 --> 0:14:17.659
<v Speaker 2>But don't in your area.

0:14:17.739 --> 0:14:19.859
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally. Don't you update your profile photo though. So

0:14:19.859 --> 0:14:21.979
<v Speaker 1>it's different because that's the thing. I remember being on

0:14:21.979 --> 0:14:23.899
<v Speaker 1>the dating apps for a long time, and it would

0:14:23.939 --> 0:14:25.099
<v Speaker 1>be the people whose profile I.

0:14:25.219 --> 0:14:25.899
<v Speaker 2>Know you too well.

0:14:26.019 --> 0:14:28.459
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't matter if your updated profile, you know, you know,

0:14:28.539 --> 0:14:29.739
<v Speaker 4>it's an updated profile.

0:14:29.939 --> 0:14:32.819
<v Speaker 1>Alright, Look, guys, if you were in the trenches of dating,

0:14:32.819 --> 0:14:34.059
<v Speaker 1>this might be an app that you want to give

0:14:34.059 --> 0:14:36.499
<v Speaker 1>it a try. It's called tribal I think I wish

0:14:36.539 --> 0:14:38.499
<v Speaker 1>I thought of that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I wish

0:14:38.539 --> 0:14:39.939
<v Speaker 1>I thought of a lot of apps put it that way.
