WEBVTT - 27. Doing it for the swipes

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Lovers. Welcome to Tuesday, and welcome to another episode of

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Life Aunt. I'm Britney and I'm Laura. We're your hosts, Michael,

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>we are every week. I know, funny that it's nice

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>to hear you all again. Well, it's nice for you

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>to hear us all again. You're welcome. Nice for us

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to hear ourselves, is what she's trying to say. Oh gosh,

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>it's been a long, long week here in isolation. How's

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>your week been? Just groundhog Day, isn't it. Do you

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>know what I just read? And I'm sure by the

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>morning everyone would have heard this that Virgin has just

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>gone into voluntary administration. Yeah, so that happens literally like

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>two hours ago. I guess it's so crazy. I mean,

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>we were told a few weeks ago that there's a

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>potential for all these crazy things to start happening in

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>the world. One of them was that ninety percent of

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>airlines were going to go bust. But I guess deep

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>down you didn't actually think it was ever going to

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 1>get to that. You kind of think, like if all

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Branson's goot himself an island, mate, sell an island, sell

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>yourd Although I don't think that there's many people out

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>there buying islands right now. There are a lot of

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>billionaires in this world out there looking for islands. Probably

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that you totally hit the nail on the head. There

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>were so many things that we were told very early on,

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>like there's a possibility that this could happen, but no

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>one actually thinks that these companies that have been such

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>constants and such like normal fixtures of our adult life

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.199
<v Speaker 1>could even ever go bust. No, there are no rules,

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and what does that mean for travel? Like I have

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>actually read and heard a lot saying that maybe international

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>borders won't even be open until the end of twenty

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, maybe even twenty twenty two. There are a

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of people saying that international travel could be done

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>for the next year. You know, no one really has

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the answer for this, and I think that's where so

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>much of the fear comes from, because there's a lot

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of conversations about worst case scenarios, and I guess, I

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>guess at the moment, I'm trying to imagine the positives.

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I just hope that there's an airline left when we

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>get to the end of this. Well, the question is,

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>does that mean Quantus will have the monopoly and prices

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>will skyrocket, or are they going to do the right

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>thing by the general population and cut us a break

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>because we've had a bit of a hard year. Straight up, guys,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the hard hitting questions. Also straight off the bat, Brett,

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>how's your week thing? Did you just say straight off

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the brat? I think you did, and I'm going to

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>call you out on it. Probably try editing that one out,

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh groundhog Day. I don't have a lot to report

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>this week in terms of my adventures, but I have

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I really really need to speak about.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>If any of you follow me on Instagram, you'll know

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>that I had a good old chuckle. And I also

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>spent fifteen hours binge watching this new show on Netflix.

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a dating show, and I use the term dating

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>very loosely. It's a reality dating, which is right up

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>ow Alli, guys, we love that. And I saw an

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>episode pop up on Netflix and I thought, oh, just

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll just click on this and see what it is.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I was hooked, hook line and sinker. I was here

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>for this show. I have never Laura laughed so hard,

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>cringed so hard, wanted to die so hard. I couldn't

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>believe that this show was real. It does a lot

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>because we were both on The Bachelor. I've done two

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>reality shows. Now I can really say this, like this

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>comes from a place of knowing, deep deep knowing. So

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this show is called too Hot to Handle. It's like

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>a new modern Bachelor in Paradise and Love Island now

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>fair play because the people on this show are the

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>most aesthetically good looking people I have ever seen. The ridiculous, like,

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>they're so good looking it's disgusting, but it's almost the

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>show's almost a parody. So they have this host, Laura,

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and she just mocks them the whole time. She's like

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>a voiceover host, so you don't actually see her. She

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>throws them under the bus. She laughs at how silly

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>they are, the dumb things they say. It's kind of

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like the voiceover narration of Love Island. It's that on steroid.

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Just to really drive home how excited Britt is about

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this TV series, yesterday, when we were discussing what we

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>were going to record for today's episode, Britt goes, I've

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>got it. There's this show. It's too hot to handle.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>There's only there's only eight episodes. You could watch them all.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, we live very different lives. I

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>do not have enough time in my day with a

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>child to be able to watch eight episodes. But Britt

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Binge watched that in our day guys, one day, I

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>watched it till four am. Isolation has been good to her.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Isolation has But the premise to this show is so

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Love Island, Bachelor and Paradise mix. But you can't kiss,

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't have sex, you can't have this physical relationship.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Can you masturbate? No? Nothing, no, not nothing. The idea

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is all of these men and women, they're from around

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the world, so some Americans, Aussies from the UK, one

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>from Ireland. The idea is they're all players. Sep Brown

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>don't take relationships seriously and they come onto this show

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're supposed to build an emotional connection. So there's

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars prize money, but every time they'd

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kiss or break the rules, they get deducted money. So

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 1>one kiss they lose three grand, and the money puul

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>just keeps going down. One girl actually gave an Australian

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>guy a blowjob on there, Like how much did that cost?

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that was thirty grand? But I like that

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars. That has enough to make most

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>people want an emotional connection. But the reason that I

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>loved this show so much, it's because it really had me.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like a stir fry of emotions. So it had

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the laughter, and it had the disbelief, and it had

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the anger, and it had the cringing. But one reason

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I want you to watch it, Laura, and I'm going

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to recommend it to you guys to all watch, is

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 1>it did actually bring up and highlight a lot of

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>issues that are happening with men and women and dating,

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and one of them is actually gas lighting. So quite

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 1>early on there was this part where this guy was

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>gaslighting this girl so severely it wasn't even an undertone.

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>It was the most obvious thing that was happening. I

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>was quite in disbelief that the show was actually airing

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>it and the fact that this like robot host is

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>making a mockery of it as well and highlighting it.

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's gonna be really good for everybody

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to watch because it's something that I think we need

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, you know, over the next few weeks,

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and it's a really really important issue. There's your recommendation

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>too hot to handle. We need to come back with

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>some homework done for next week's episode. But what about you?

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>What have you been up to? Oh? Guys, I've really

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>spiraled down into an isolation pit that I never thought

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I would get to. Oh what, I purchased something that

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm really ashamed of? Is it a sex? Do we? No?

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be that ashamed of that I purchased. It's

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>actually it's actually disgusting. I've turned into the person I

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>promised I never would be. Oh my god, what is it?

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I've purchased a Halo light so that I can take

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>photos for Instagram. No, okay, but hear me, I kind

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>have reached new low. Hear me out. All right. We

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>live in a very dark apartment and from time to time,

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, Matt and I we still do some work

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 1>on social media and like, you need good lighting. Come on, Breed,

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>back me up here. Good lighting is important. I actually

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is funny. I think Halo. I don't

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>have a Halo light. I've used them before and shoots

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. I think they're brilliant. So, guys, if you

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>have a waited blanket for me to sell or some

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>laser hair removal or maybe you know there's some gummies

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that are gonna grow my hair nice and long. I'm

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the girl. I me up. I've got a halo light. Now, guys,

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll be way too hard on yourself. Halo lights are

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>actually really, really great. This is why I need you

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>in my life for this type of affirmation and moral support.

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that because I want to borrow it. No,

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>are you. You're way too hard on yourself. At the

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>same time, I just never thought I would be someone

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to own a halo light. And that is what isolation.

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>That is what COVID nineteen has done to me. Guys,

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>what's your first pick going to be? Oh? God, hashtag

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not sponsored hashtag skin God? Shoot me? Now you're actually

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>being too Honey's up. Okay. So apart from apart from

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>my whole haighlow light experience, I also have a recommendation,

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>which is look, it's slightly deeper than Too Hot to Handle,

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>but it's so good. It's only four episodes, very good

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>for people who are time poor and have kids. It's

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>called Unorthodox and it is on Netflix, I think, and

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I did watch the whole thing in two days. Follows

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>this Hasidic Jewish girl and her relationship in her faith,

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and how she moves to Germany and how she tries

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to escape her past life and set up a new life.

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It's actually amazing, Like it's such a good, binge able,

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>all encompassing miniseries and I highly recommend it, and my

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 1>sister can't stop talking about it, and every day she's like,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>have you started it yet? Well, yeah, well Unorthodox is

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>my that's my recommendation for the week. Everything else. I

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>know that it's actually crazy, but we try and think

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of like what we're going to talk about and bring

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>some uplifting content for you guys. But I really feel

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>like this week has been the week for me and

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't I can't speak on your behalf, brit but

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.079
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is the week where everything has

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>become very very repetitive for me, and I've been really

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>struggling to kind of break out of the isolation COVID

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteen mundane just groundhog day feeling that I've been having.

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And then on top of it, I've had raging anxiety

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>because I have my periods. So forgive me, or but

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they're like you know, each week we try

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and bring to this that we're being like really positive

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and we're trying to bring content that's outside of what

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>we're all doing every day. But then there does come

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a point where you're like, oh no, this is the

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>situation that we're in, and it is very repetitive and

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to constantly be uplifted and constantly try and

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>find something new. And I think it's important to acknowledge

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that that's okay as well, Like that's very normal and

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that's where everyone's life is at the moment. I have

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>walked over two hundred kilometers this month. Every single time

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I call her, I see her, I text her, She's like,

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just out on the walk, just out on my Ah,

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Actually, when you call me, you're like, hey, babes,

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>what you don't I'm like, just on a little You're

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>meant to be staying home, girlfriend. But this is like

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>BRIT's had like one massive, long exercise that just never ends.

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>She just never ever stops walking. I walk on my

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>own most of the time, guys, so I'm social distancing.

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>The only time I'm walking with someone is my sister.

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it's what I do walking in exercise.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>It's when you're stressed, when I'm tired, when I'm angry,

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>when I'm anxious. Like you said, it's everything. That's what

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I do, and what I do is I get up

0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in the morning and I put my active wear on

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and it stays on all day. So if I have

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>a moment that I just like I need to get out,

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>or I'm upset or I'm stressed, I just do it.

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like quick walk. Quick walk anyway, clocked up two

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred K. For anybody who is self isolating by themselves

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and has a lot of time on their own, there

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>is the possibility that now, after so much time, you're

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>starting to feel lonely. So it is a really nice

0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>way to be able to be like, Nope, I'm going

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to keep myself active and to keep an active brain.

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna like get those good endorphins going. You know,

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 1>as much as you have walked an obscene amount and

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't even relate, I understand that that works for you.

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>It's my thing for sure. At the moment, you guys know,

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no rules. Whatever's working for we get it done.

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>But I think, Laura, it is time to jump into

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>some proper content accidentally unfiltered. It's our segment with our

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>most embarrassing stories you write in. We love them, we

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>can't get enough of them. And do you have one

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>for me? Laura? I do have one. This is a

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>very quick one, but it copped me right in all

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the fields's because the copy you and the feels in

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a second, Oh, that was weird. That was weird. Yeah, okay,

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>let's get back to what we're talking about. It caught

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>me in the fields because I was feeling really anxious

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>this week, like I said, and so I read this

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I can totally relate to that.

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So as a person's written, I went to an interview

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>really really hungover, and like, you know what it's like

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>when you really hungover, how you feel a little bit anxious.

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm so lonely. Hold me. So I went to an

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>interview really hungover. When the interviewer came to meet me

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and show me to the room, she held out her hand,

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.559
<v Speaker 1>guiding the way. In my hungover state, I stood up

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and I held her hand. Both of us were too

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed to let go, so we walked to the interview room.

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And also, you know that moment of realization where you're like,

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't supposed to grab your hand, but now we're

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 1>going to do it. But like a light that they

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>committed to it. And then what do you do when

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you get to the interview room and you're like, who,

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>this is awkward? Do you then turn it into a handshake?

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>What do you do? I wonder if she got the job.

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say no because it didn't have a

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>follow up on that. I have a cute little one too.

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>This is something that I would actually do. So this

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>girl was on a date at a sushi restaurant and

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.439
<v Speaker 1>she had never been to a sushi restaurant. It was

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 1>on a date and she says, you were starving. She

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>had been like eight hours between eating. She gets the date,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>she orders thirteen sushi rolls, thinking each little piece was

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a role. So twenty minutes later, the staff come out

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>pushing two tables together and bring out thirteen huge long rolls,

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.080
<v Speaker 1>like on three different raise of food for her, and

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 1>her date was like hungry, But don't you think if

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>you're the date, you would have just said food can't

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>shame a baby. Hey, that reminds me of a date story.

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I went on a date in Bondai with this guy

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>who I met online. We went to this Bavarian beer garden.

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>If you're in Bondai, you'll know the one I don't know.

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Im from Bonda Caple parayed. Was he English? He was

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>a tourist. Of course I would have. I've never been

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>there again, I never would have gone there. But I

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is now that I know what restaurant

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>it's referring to. This is a restaurant that you would

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>only go to if you were an English backpacker. That's it, Hundi.

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>He was Brazilian, so ir in this restaurant and I

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>ordered a chicken snitty and then I ordered fries on

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the side, and I had a salad too. I think

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I may have had a garlic bread also, but that's irrelevant.

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.559
<v Speaker 1>So the snitsel comes out, and it's to be fair,

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it's the biggest snitsel I have ever seen, you know,

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>the ones that take up almost the whole plate, like

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what pub snitzls are like, Like, this isn't

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.719
<v Speaker 1>possibly from a chicken, this is from it. This is

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a sheet. But I see what you're doing. This is

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>an EMU. Yeah, what it was was not normal. So

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>this lay comes out, and I was hungry, so my

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 1>eyes lit up and the guy looks at me and

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>he goes, oh, don't be ridiculous, You'll never eat that.

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And then my internal monologue was challenge accept it. And

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I sat there for twenty five minutes, Bye bye bye.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I nearly felt sick, but I ate the whole snitzel.

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Then I ate all of the chips, and then I

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>ate the salad, and then I washed it down with

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>my drink and I never saw him again. You sure

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>showed him I did, how judgmental. I hope you didn't

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 1>give him any of the chips either. I hope you

0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 1>will ate. No, sorry, don't have any. I eat all

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of these and then I'm gonna get some churros. Get

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the fuck away from my chips. Pat girl likes to

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>eat my mum's Greek Guys, girl likes to eat. Don't

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 1>ever food shame and date men or women. Well, I

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.880

<v Speaker 1>we're going to be doing something which is a little

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>more aimed at our couples who listen to this episode,

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 1>specifically to the women who listen to this and that's

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>more about for couples who are now at a point

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>where you guys have been spending so much time together,

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 1>so much time, but it's not quality time. I know

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that I'm certainly feeling it at times in my relationship

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that as much as we spend every single second of

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the day together at the moment, there's very few moments

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that I feel like are quality and so we just

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 1>wanted to touch on that because I feel like a

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of couples are in the same boat with this

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, and to try and think of some

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 1>ideas in some ways that we can give tips and

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>give ideas around how to create quality time with your partner.

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, we'll get into that later, but first, online profiles.

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I have been online dating for quite a long time

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>on every platform that has ever existed. I have probably

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>had a profile except for plenty of fish. Do you

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>know what you say this like it's disappointing. That makes

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you an expert and that's why you're on this. It's

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>time to enlist the experts into this conversation. That's what

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that is. Don't say it like it's disappointing. Well, no,

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it was disappointing. I don't know

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>how I feel about it. But look, the fact is

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I have done it. I've spent a lot of time

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>online dating. I have gone on a lot of dates,

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and I actually I am a big advocate for online dating.

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that the stigma that's still attached to it

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>in some way needs to be gone because everyone in

0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the world is on it, Like the biggest stars in

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the world have their own online dating. Britt No, she's

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>seen Channing Tatum in there and super liked him. Yeah

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I did single again, Yeah, no even yeah Raya so. Yeah,

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been on Raya so and I have seen huge,

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>huge Hollywood stars on there. So guys, first and foremost,

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.959
<v Speaker 1>don't be embarrassed to be online dating. Secondly, this is

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>like your CV, this is like your resume. You have

0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to put some attention and love into creating your profile

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>because it sounds crazy and it sucks, but it's very superficial.

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You unfortunately don't get to know who someone in is

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>as a genuine person. You don't get to know who

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they are inside straight away, and they don't get to

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.239
<v Speaker 1>know who you are. All they're going off at the

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 1>beginning is the way you look and what you've written

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and the way you've answered your questions. But we were

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>talking about this earlier and like, and I know that

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who have done online dating and

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>there's constant conversation and struggle with like, oh, it's it's

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 1>very superficial. However, if a guy comes up to you

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>in a bar and ask you out or gives you

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>his number, or you find a guy attractive that you've

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.239
<v Speaker 1>never spoken to before, that is all superficial. That's all

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 1>we have to go off at the very start, Like

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>unless you meet someone through friends or like you've got

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 1>some other connection, we are superficially attracted to the way

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>people look, or the way people present themselves, or the

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>aura that someone has, the energy that they have. I

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.919
<v Speaker 1>do think that there are ways that you can cultivate

0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that energy on an online profile as well. Like where

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a bio, you have that area to be

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>able to get a small snippet of your personality across.

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>So you know what, if you're a funny bitch, then

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.919
<v Speaker 1>say something funny in there. If you're witty or sarcastic

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 1>or a little bit self deprecating, this is your opportunity

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to create, even if it's just one line or one

0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.080
<v Speaker 1>little hook, but to create a little snapshot into what

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 1>your personality is. So we did do our due diligence

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>as per usual. We did all have our research, We

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>put some polls out, we ask people, we knew men

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.679
<v Speaker 1>and women, We went from personal experience, and we have

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 1>put a few little things together and I think first

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.679
<v Speaker 1>and foremost what we have found is that people don't

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>want you to list what you are, so in you're

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 1>about me. People don't want you to say funny, witty, adventurous.

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Say something that is funny and witty so they know

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you're funny and witty instead of just saying this is

0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>what I am. It also like if I think with

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that as well, if you say I'm funny, I'm witty,

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm adventurous, there's no context to that to allow someone

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>who then matches with you to engage deeper and to

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.120
<v Speaker 1>ask questions. It's like, like, what kind of funny are you? Yeah,

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 1>how are you adventurous? You want to say that you

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>weren't trekking Everest or like maybe you didn't go that

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>far because that's crazy and not many people have tracked Everest.

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 1>But you want to explain something that you do. Maybe

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>you like to go bushwalking. Maybe you love the ocean,

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but like make it a bit more

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 1>detailed and actually explore something about what you love. Write

0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it down, because makes it easier for that person when

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 1>they match you to be like, Hey, I love the

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 1>ocean too, I love dogs as well. Every single person

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>in the world likes to try. Everyone's bio says travel.

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>We're never going to escape that. But what you need

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to differentiate is what kind of traveler are you? What

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of travel do you like? Because there's a big

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:13.160
<v Speaker 1>difference between going to Hawaii sitting in the Hilton sun

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>making not leaving your hotel just drinking by the pool,

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 1>and going to hike match your pitch you and camping

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in a forest somewhere, and there's such a broad landscape

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of traveling and adventure. So I think it's really important

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to put that in so that somebody knows what level

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.639
<v Speaker 1>you are. It gives them an opening to chat to

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you about it, It gives them a way to connect

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>with you because maybe they've done something similar. So I

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.680
<v Speaker 1>think that's really important to just get out what kind

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.439
<v Speaker 1>of a traveler are you. One of the things that

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I used to really hate when I was online dating,

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and I know that it works in reverse as well,

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that guys just like it when girls do it too,

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is when you use your bio to be really critical

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>of what you want in the other person, instead of

0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:54.959
<v Speaker 1>using a bio to describe the sort of person that

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you are, saying, I'm only attracted to brunettess or you know,

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>if you have in your bio that you want somewhere

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>who is six point five, what like meter is away

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>from us because of isolation right now exactly because that's

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 1>what I want. I want a guy who's six point

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.959
<v Speaker 1>five away from me at all times. But I think

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:13.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're using your bio to be critical about somebody else,

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 1>all that does is reflect badly on yourself. It shows

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that you're not someone who has a fun personality. It

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>shows that you have a really critical personality, and I

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.239
<v Speaker 1>don't think that that's a very attractive thing. So I

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>know when I used to see on guys' profiles they

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>were like I prefer brunettes even the way I am brunette,

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and this maybe this is me being critical and reverse,

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but it would just make me look at that and

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>go like, why why are you so superficial? Why is

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>like why is that so important to you? And I

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>would end up swiping past, even though I matched the

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>criteria of what they were after, I just didn't like

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that critical aspect of their personality. Dea'd say the guys

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that are like I just want somebody that's like five

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 1>foot eight, has a really good job, is really smart,

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.160
<v Speaker 1>is really funny and independent, looks after themselves, lives out

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of home, has a good income, like fuck, dude, do

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>you have all those things? You don't? This is your

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to talk about yourself, not for you to like

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 1>criticize and analyze what you want in somebody else. Like

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you can do that, but do that after the fact,

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 1>because by putting it out there in your bio, you're

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you're just canceling a whole lot of people that maybe,

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what, maybe they could be your penguin. So Laurie,

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't know this. But Hinge has this prompt. You

0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>have to answer these questions. And Hinge has this prompt

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that says, question that's like, if you could choose anyone

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>as a dinner guess who would it be. And the

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>guys that say you, oh my god, put a fork

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 1>in me a mate, You don't know me from a

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>bar soap, and you can choose anyone, do you not

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.560
<v Speaker 1>get the question? You can choose anyone but kind of cute?

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Now's not little bit cute? So because you means every

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 1>single person, it's not me, it's not personal. He's trying

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to be cute. I think I was smart or interesting. Guys,

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>this is your chance to like show some personality, show

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>who you would actually want to talk I'm surprised you

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>don't like that. You're a sucker for red flags. No

0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:00.960
<v Speaker 1>red flags with intelligence, preferably not not like a dumb

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>flag blowing in the wind, like I want a station

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>you're a stupid red flag. I want a stationary, solid

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 1>flag that knows who he is. Don't me all want

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>a solid flag. There you are again, as well as

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 1>us saying it's important to say who you are and

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>say what you're interested in, it's more important to actually

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>show it in your profile. So don't just say I

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>like adventure or fitness or the beach. Put some photos

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 1>up that show that. If you love dogs, put a

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>photo up with your dog. If you're saying you love travel,

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 1>don't put five selfies up. Put a photo of you

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>somewhere amazing or your favorite place you've ever been. Yeah, okay,

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:36.520
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the actual photos aspects, because I think

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:38.720
<v Speaker 1>we've touched on the bio and like how you can

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>curate your bio to make it something that's a little

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>bit more interesting. But in regards to photos, that's one

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you had said to me, Britt,

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>But also one of the things that Matt flagged straight

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>away is if you have five selfies in a row,

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you need to sort your shit out because nobody wants

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to look at just five selfies that you've taken of yourself.

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>It makes and it's probably not true, You're probably not this,

0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.400
<v Speaker 1>but it makes you seem like you're self indulgent. If

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you haven't got like a nice photo that somebody else

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:05.960
<v Speaker 1>has taken, or a photo with a friend, or just

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.400
<v Speaker 1>something that gives other context to your life, it seems

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 1>very self involved and very like you haven't anything else

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>going on except that you take photos of yourself. You

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>could be every day. Do you have a halo light

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 1>because I've got or it's a gym selfie, the ones

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 1>in the gym's shirtless, like sorry, If you have five selfies,

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you could be the hottest, smartest, most amazing person. And

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna swipe knowing you, it's just for me. It's

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:31.880
<v Speaker 1>my turn off, and I know it's the same thing

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in reverse. So ladies, for sure, it's so fine to

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.880
<v Speaker 1>have a selfie on there, like absolutely, but show who

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you are. You can't put five selfies up, absolutely not.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:42.679
<v Speaker 1>The research has come back and it has said that

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 1>five selfies are no The other one that I wanted

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>to flag as well, which I kind of thought was bizarre.

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>But the more that I've thought about it, the more

0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, yeah, this is this is fair. Matt's

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>number one thing that he said when I asked him

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>what his deal breaks were when he was online dating,

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>he didn't like it if the photos weren't high reds.

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.160
<v Speaker 1>You don't want someone who's go like a grainy kind

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of like badly filtered photo because it makes it seem

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.959
<v Speaker 1>like they're trying to hide something. So I think that's important. Presentations, key, ladies,

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure you've got some crisp photos happening. Well, let's

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>try and summarize some keys for the photos. The really

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>important things that are pretty much non negotiables. You can't

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>have five selfies, you can't have photos with where every

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>single photo is with a male because that or if

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you do, you have to explain it because it leads

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of men to think that it could be

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>an X, you're not over your ex. It leaves them

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 1>bit confused about why you're there and your relationship status.

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's what that's feedback from the men as well.

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 1>They need to see you physically on your own to

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.159
<v Speaker 1>think that you are single. So if you have a

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>photo where you're standing with other men, particularly the same men, repetitively,

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he must be your boyfriend. That's the feedback we've got

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.479
<v Speaker 1>has to be just choose photos that don't have your

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>best guy friend in every single one. It'll save, It'll

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>save some questions. My big one is don't have photos

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.880
<v Speaker 1>with your kids in it. So, like, I think it's

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 1>all I'm all for being honest about having children when

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you're on online dating, and there's like loads and loads

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 1>of mums who are getting back out there dating, and

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I think that being upfront and honest is amazing. But

0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I think for like a safety perspective, and also because

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just a bit there's a strange attachment and association

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>when I see a child's face on a dating app,

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I always found that very very jarring. So I think,

0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>just don't post those photos. It's not necessary. Surely there

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>are other photos and nice photos that you have where

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not having a photo with your child. That's a

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>big one for me. Oh, like, there's so many rules. Guys,

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:37.959
<v Speaker 1>who would have thought that online profiles have so many

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:40.080
<v Speaker 1>rules attached to that. We said, it's a damn CV

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 1>these days. So the other one that I think is

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a big one is no one wants to play spot

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the single girl, So don't put photos of you with

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 1>like groups of your friends. Make sure that you check

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>your photos and make sure that you have at least

0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 1>one photo, preferably the first one where you're on your own,

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>because I think if you have every single one where

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you're with your girlfriends, it just makes it difficult and

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, like people are not spending time looking through

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>it actually engaging at the very start. So like, make

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.159
<v Speaker 1>sure you make it obvious who you are, which person

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in the profile it is. That's a big, big one.

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I know for me, when I see a profile that

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>has five people in the first image, but someone on

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 1>time constraints, I don't even swipe into his profile, he

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:22.919
<v Speaker 1>gets a no. Because if you can't show me who

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>you are on the first picture and pique interest and

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>intrigue me, then it's a no. What was your bio

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>when you would online dating? Oh my god, you know,

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I still remember my bio was takes life as seriously

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>as the British took Brexit. Addicted to red wine, fitness

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and dogs. So if you're a red wine drinking fitness

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>loving dog run at me and then that's cute. I

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>love that one. But wait, this's more. Then at the

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>end there was a disclaimer. I've been known to eat

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a family sized pack of more teasers. No family was involved,

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:03.719
<v Speaker 1>and that was my whole fio. But I guess like

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>for me, that's who I am. I'm silly. I eat

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:09.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of chocolate telling them what I like. But

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I tried to make it relatable and not serious, So

0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. For me, that was one I was

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:16.480
<v Speaker 1>always I'm always down for a bit of sarcasm and

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a bit of bands. Like I think, if you can

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.399
<v Speaker 1>if you can put something in your bio or if

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you can put something in your description that opens up

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:27.639
<v Speaker 1>at the door for some conversation, that's better than just hey,

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>so like what you're doing. Just something that gives the

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 1>other person a little silver platter and olive branch or

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>something that they can reach out and have that connection

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 1>with you and start a fun and lighthearted conversation. And

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of your job, that's what you're supposed to

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>be doing. So try to be a little bit different,

0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Try to throw some fun in there, try to be lighthearted.

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>State what you want. I think that's important to make

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>it clear that if you're looking for a relationship or

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.200
<v Speaker 1>just fun, but you don't have to go all hardcore

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and say I'm looking for marriage and kids next week.

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to scare them. But there's a difference

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to say hey, I'm looking for someone to do life with.

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a great line because it's not as

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>men can get quite scared, so it's a bit different

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to saying hey, I'm looking for my partner. Alternatively, if

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you're just wanting fun and you're just wanting sex and

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you're wanting hook ups, say that, but just say hey,

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>looking to meet people, have a bit of fun. Just

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>make it a bit more lighthearted, looking for a good time,

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>not a long term. No, don't say that. I'm you

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 1>knowing that. I know that. It can become very repetitive

0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and very disheartening when you're matching with people and then

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting a reply, and there's this level of

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>frustration that can start to mount when you're feeling like

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it's groundhoub day and you're feeling like you're doing the

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>same thing, and it's very easy to get a mentality

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, well, dating apps of shit. Everyone on

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 1>dating apps is shit. No one writes back and take

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that frustration out on the next person. So one of

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the points that we'd talked about is like when when

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>guys specifically I mean, but I'm sure girls do it

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.280
<v Speaker 1>as well, and their bio stuff like don't match me.

0:30:02.320 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 1>If you're not going to write back, any level of

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 1>aggression doesn't reflect well on you, even if it's true,

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>even if that is how you feel, even if that's

0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the situation that you've been in before, even if it

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>is totally relatable, which it obviously is, don't put it

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 1>in your bio because it makes you seem angry, It

0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 1>makes you seem like you're jilted. Keep everything top line, happy, lighthearted, positive,

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 1>because that is the sort of person that you want

0:30:26.760 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to be putting across, and that's the sort of person

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that people want to be dating. The last thing that

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to add, and I think these are two

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 1>really important things. Make your photos current within maybe like

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the last year, eighteen months at a stretch, but nobody

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.920
<v Speaker 1>wants to turn up and meet someone and realize that

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 1>their photos on their profile were from five years ago.

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I know that when I meet somebody, I want them

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to look like their profile. I don't want them to

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 1>see them in their peak eight years ago, which like

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys do that, and I can only

0:30:55.440 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>imagine girls do that too, So I think it's important

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to try and keep it current and relevant. Also, I

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 1>can't stress this one enough. Get someone to check your

0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>spelling and your grammar on your profile. I think it's

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>imperative to be able to have a profile that is literate,

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that has the right punctuation, has a sentence that works. Basically,

0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Brittany's very critical of sentences. I say that, but that

0:31:19.480 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 1>was one of the number one things that came up

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 1>on everything that I researched, where the professional saying get

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.840
<v Speaker 1>your friend to check your profile spelling and punctuation. Every

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 1>time I say unorganized, Brittany goes, it's disorganized, Laura. I

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>do not say that aggressively. I was like babes disorganized.

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>She will find your profile, she will hunt you down,

0:31:37.640 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and she will correct you. So make sure you do

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:44.240
<v Speaker 1>your spelling checks. I think spelling is important. All right, guys, Well,

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>now that we've covered a little bit of the online

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 1>dating profiles, let's get in to the couple question, and

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that is how do you carve out quality time with

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 1>your partner when you are in lockdown with your partner?

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just gonna be honest, I don't have the

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>answer for you right now, because I hope you've been

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 1>more of an answer than I've got been single eight years.

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>We're all in a bit of a pickle, aren't we.

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>This one's you, This advice is coming from you. I

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>guess I've been in this situation over the past couple

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>of days, and I don't know if other people can

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 1>relate to this, but I'm hoping that it's not just me.

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, Matt and I we spend so much time together,

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and for the first couple of weeks, it was amazing,

0:32:21.960 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and it still is amazing to be able to spend

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that time. I love being in his company. But I

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 1>find more and more as the days go on that

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>we are on social media and on our phones, and

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 1>we're very, very disengaged from having conversations with each other,

0:32:37.080 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're very engaged in whatever's happening in the outside world,

0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>but through our phones. And I know that the reason

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 1>for this is because we've had all the conversations that

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>are out there are to have. There's not been any

0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:50.560
<v Speaker 1>new stimulus in our environment to talk about. There's only

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>so many stupid TikTok videos you can remake. And it

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>was a conversation I was having with another girlfriend of

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 1>mine who's in a very similar situation in her relationship,

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and she's, you know, in a committed relationship and she's

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>spent way too much time with her partner now. And

0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that she said that really spoke

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to me was that she was like, we don't go

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 1>to work anymore, so we don't have any time to

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 1>miss each other, and everything we do is together. And

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>it got me thinking that I'm sure there are a

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of couples who are in this exact same situation

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:21.080
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. I can't agree with that more. But

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to relate to this in terms of friends, flatmates,

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>people that are just isolating together. I don't think this

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is just necessarily relationships. I think, and I know because

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 1>we've had a lot of listeners right in saying that

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they're having these sorts of issues with their flatmates and

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>their friends. So I think it's really important we delve

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>into this, and we are going to just put some

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>little tips out from friends we've asked what they're doing again.

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 1>We looked up some relationships specialists and therapists and we

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 1>got some advice from them. So we are just going

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to throw out a few things and give you guys,

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>hopefully some help and some tips to keep your relationship

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 1>on track and sort of make you reconnect again, get

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>back to where you were before you went into isolation.

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I know last week, for example, my sister, she's been

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>with her partner now for five years, and she said

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 1>it was ridiculous how much screen time they were having.

0:34:14.800 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>They were going a whole day without speaking to each other,

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>things like that, because they were the same things they've

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 1>had their conversation. So what they did was they had

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.360
<v Speaker 1>a screen band and they put their phones away, no TV.

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 1>They got dressed up like proper, dressed up like they

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 1>were going out on a date, and they cooked up

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 1>this amazing meal together, seafood squid, and they decorated their

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.680
<v Speaker 1>lungery and changed it into pillows, fairy lights. It was

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>almost like you were going back on a first date,

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like something really special, and they just sat with each

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>other and had nothing else to distract them, and they

0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>just had to talk to each other. And she said,

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 1>it was amazing. It really got them back to like

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 1>the excitement and the warning to speak to each other

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and realizing that you still love each other and that

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get through it. The first part of

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 1>this is acknowledging that you're doing it, like acknowledging that

0:34:59.640 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you're di engaged, because I think it sometimes it just

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 1>creeps up on you in a relationship where you don't

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 1>even realize that the time that you spend together isn't quality.

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I honestly think that, like you can wake up two

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 1>or three weeks, four weeks down the track and be like,

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't even feel like we've had a proper conversation.

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel like we have really connected at all,

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 1>but we've seen each other every day. You need to

0:35:18.840 --> 0:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>be very cognizant of the fact that that's where you're

0:35:22.120 --> 0:35:24.960
<v Speaker 1>at at the moment, and then make a very conscious

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:27.360
<v Speaker 1>decision that you're going to put some things in place

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 1>in order to change your behavior. So, like like you said,

0:35:29.800 --> 0:35:31.880
<v Speaker 1>with your sister, have an evening where you put your

0:35:31.880 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 1>phones down, or bring in the rule that you can't

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:36.840
<v Speaker 1>have any phones in your hand past six pm or

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:39.239
<v Speaker 1>seven pm, whatever time that is for you. Just so

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that you get a few hours in the evening where

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 1>you can both sit with each other and have a conversation.

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I really believe is that

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you need to have small talk in order to

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.880
<v Speaker 1>get to the deeper conversations, and they come, but you

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:54.359
<v Speaker 1>just can't have to sometimes sit in a little bit

0:35:54.360 --> 0:35:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of obscurity for a little while before you find a

0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>topic again that you're like, Oh, here's something that we've

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:01.400
<v Speaker 1>never discussed before. This is new, like this is a

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.880
<v Speaker 1>new territory. And I think a way to bring you

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:07.359
<v Speaker 1>both back to ground level and connect you again is

0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to ask each other questions about your relationship. So you

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>might've been together five years, ten years, whatever, one year.

0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Ask your partner, what's the favorite date We've ever had,

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 1>What's the funniest thing I've ever done? What's the thing

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you love about me? The most little, little funny things

0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to bring you back to realize why

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you together and how you fell in love, and just

0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to sort of reignite passion and the cute little memories

0:36:32.400 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that you've shared over the time. I think that's really

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 1>nice and you might actually learn a lot of things

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.239
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't know that maybe you don't know what

0:36:38.239 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 1>your partner loves about you the most, or you don't

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>know what his most embarrassing moment was, or like a

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>walk down memory lane can be really really nice way

0:36:46.040 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to bring you back together another thing as well at that,

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and it's really hard to do because obviously

0:36:51.000 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>we're meant to be staying home as much as possible,

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's so important to try and carve

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit of time that is your time

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>away from your partner, to give you, even if it's

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:02.760
<v Speaker 1>just a small opportunity, but to give you a moment

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to actually miss your partner. So maybe that means you

0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:06.919
<v Speaker 1>go for a walk, or you do some exercise where

0:37:06.920 --> 0:37:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you are not in the same space with each other,

0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>or maybe you work from separate rooms of the house,

0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.920
<v Speaker 1>but you really allocate some time to be like we

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 1>are not this is not the same coworking space right now.

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And I mean I even had to do it with

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Matt recently. I was in the bedroom working and we've

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>just become so we've just become so so used to

0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>constantly being each other's face that he just kept walking

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in and out and in and out and out of

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the bedroom to ask me questions whilst I was working,

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and I had to be like, no, like this is

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>you can't come in here anymore. You have to stay

0:37:35.840 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 1>out of the bedroom because I need to get work

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>done and the constantness of this is driving me crazy. Yep. Well,

0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the professionals have said that it's really important and if

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you can, even in a small space, it's really important

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to maybe designate an area of the house for everything.

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So this area is the work zone, and this area

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is the chill zone, and this area is the workout zone.

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So each little area of your house, when you're in

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that area, that's what you're doing. So when you're in

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.640
<v Speaker 1>your work office area, you have to treat it like

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a work office area. Even though yours is now the bedroom,

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Matt has to understand that for that time, that's not

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 1>his bedroom. Totally understand that some people's like living arrangements

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 1>are one bedroom studios. We understand that some people's living

0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:21.759
<v Speaker 1>arrangements are one bedroom apartments. Like it is really challenging

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to try and live, work, and relationship all from the

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:28.359
<v Speaker 1>same small space. But I do think that you have

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to kind of bring in some sort of boundaries and

0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:34.440
<v Speaker 1>some discipline into your day in order to be able

0:38:34.480 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to like have that, just to have that separation so

0:38:37.920 --> 0:38:39.759
<v Speaker 1>that you're not constantly living on top of each other

0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>and getting irritated by every single, small little thing that

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:46.279
<v Speaker 1>they do. It's also important to, I thinknot make assumptions

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>about how your partner or your flatmate or your best friend,

0:38:49.640 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>how they're feeling. Don't assume you know where they're out

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.279
<v Speaker 1>mentally and what they're thinking about you and what they're

0:38:56.280 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 1>thinking and feeling about the situation, because assumption can breed resentment.

0:39:01.760 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 1>They also make an ass out of you and me.

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.880
<v Speaker 1>So imperative just to have open communication in this time,

0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and so like you said to Matt, Matt, boy, you

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 1>just can't come in here anymore? Do I in calling boy?

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But yes, no, none of us call in boy. One

0:39:14.680 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 1>of the one of the most important take homes from

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:20.720
<v Speaker 1>this whole weird, wide world that we're trying to navigate

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:23.719
<v Speaker 1>together is that no one expects you to have the

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>perfect relationship right now. This environment, this pressure like this,

0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 1>living like this, this puts so much pressure on relationships.

0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It has brought out a lot of anxiety in people.

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And maybe your partner or maybe you are not the

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 1>best version of yourselves right now, and that's okay. And

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really important to allow your partner so

0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 1>long as there's still a good person and they're still

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:49.279
<v Speaker 1>treating you right, it's okay to kind of give the

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>relationship a bit of breathing room and be okay with

0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact that right now things are not going to

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:58.440
<v Speaker 1>be perfect, and expecting perfection in this environment is going

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 1>to put a lot of pressure on your relationationships. So,

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:04.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we're all navigating a very very strange time.

0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:08.919
<v Speaker 1>And I think like just because now is not good

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:12.279
<v Speaker 1>necessarily for your relationship, doesn't mean that your relationship isn't good,

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's a really important thing to remember and to

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>take home because this is all temporary. One other thing that,

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's possible, would be really great to do is

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to establish routine to the best of your ability. So

0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>when you guys say, okay, from eight am to eleven am,

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:32.239
<v Speaker 1>it's just work time, we're going to pretend we're not

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:33.960
<v Speaker 1>even together. We're both just going to do our thing.

0:40:34.280 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 1>We can't disturb each other. And then every day from

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:39.280
<v Speaker 1>eleven to twelve that might be your time for a walk.

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But the sooner you have a routine of some sorts

0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in your life, the easier your life is going to

0:40:44.400 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 1>be to manage, easier your expectations are to manage, and

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the better the two of you, or the three of you,

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 1>or however many in your house are all going to

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>get along because you know how it works, and you

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>know what's expected in your day and in that routine.

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Like like we've just said, is to make make sure

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that you carve out time that is like date night time.

0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Carve out time that's special time for you and your

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:06.880
<v Speaker 1>partner so that you're not getting to the end of

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the day and having this monotony of like, oh, what

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.399
<v Speaker 1>are we doing tonight, same things last night, Let's put

0:41:11.440 --> 0:41:13.600
<v Speaker 1>on some Netflix and not talk to each other. Make

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>sure that you are trying to create some time that

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is special. And even if it just manages one night

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a week, if you consciously do that, then your relationship

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>won't be forgotten about in all this extra time that

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 1>you're spending together. It can still be something that is

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:34.479
<v Speaker 1>really special. All right, guys, you know that we never

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:38.080
<v Speaker 1>finish an episode with our suck and our suite and

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>our suck and our sweet is basically just the highlight

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and the low light of each and every week. And

0:41:42.960 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 1>even though things don't seem to change very much at

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the moment, we still have some what's your suck, So

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:53.040
<v Speaker 1>my suck, my suck. I do this thing sometimes, and

0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it always happens late at night or early in the morning.

0:41:55.200 --> 0:41:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that's when I do most of my thinking.

0:41:57.800 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 1>And I when somebody from my past or someone in

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>my life pops into my head, I like to message

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 1>them on the spot while I'm thinking of them, to

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>tell him I'm thinking of them and checking on them

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. So for example, it might even been

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:12.239
<v Speaker 1>my dad. I if it comes to mind, I quickly

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 1>text him. I'm like, hey, thinking of you, love you whatever.

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:18.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's cute. Yeah, So two nights ago, who never

0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>text me specual, So like two days ago, it was

0:42:23.880 --> 0:42:25.839
<v Speaker 1>literally like eleven thirty night and I was drifting off

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>to sleep and I was just thinking of this somebody

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>from my past, and I hadn't spoken to you in

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a long time, and I was like, you know what

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been, so I'm just gonna shoot her a message,

0:42:34.239 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 1>picked up my phone, wrote to her and said, Hey,

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.879
<v Speaker 1>I was just thinking of you. I miss you. Love

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you lots. Hopefully I talk to you soon. Sent it

0:42:43.160 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>my bloody sent it to the person underneath her, who

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was a guy, so it wasn't her. It was like

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the one person under the contacts underneath was he like,

0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I miss you too, been thinking about you as well

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. Who was No, you know what he wrote?

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>He goes, that wasn't supposed to go to me because

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it was not somebody that we did not in that well.

0:43:06.040 --> 0:43:08.399
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh my god, some of I'm

0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 1>really sorry, but like no, I don't miss you. I

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>don't miss you, and I hate you and delete my number.

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, how are you even in my phone still?

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And then I actually message my friend that's my sug.

0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.560
<v Speaker 1>That's fine. Your week has been good. That's a good suck. Yeah,

0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 1>well wait to hear my sweet baby or give me

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.680
<v Speaker 1>your sweet girlfriend. Well, you know, the weather has turned slightly.

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:29.959
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit chilly here in the old Bond eye.

0:43:30.000 --> 0:43:34.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a bit chilli. He's wearing a turtleneck right now,

0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:38.160
<v Speaker 1>she is, No, I am. I actually love turtlenecks and

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 1>my favorite piece of clothing. I love them. Sure a

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>weird that I'm in a turtle neck? No, it's not weird,

0:43:44.080 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>but it's weird that it's your favorite piece of clothing.

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It's a comfort thing anyway. I like turtlenecks.

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I'm being slightly, like softly strangled around

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:57.839
<v Speaker 1>my neck like a favorite. Oh no, I just love them.

0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:00.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a comfort thing. But anyway, the weather's turned. I

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 1>pulled out a jacket that I haven't worn in a while,

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 1>because you know, I wanted to go for walk in

0:44:04.719 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a jacket. Put it on, went to put my keys

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>in my jacket pocket. Found twenty dollars. This sounds like

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a made up story. It sounds like one of those

0:44:12.440 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>stories where you're telling a shit story and then you're like,

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:16.319
<v Speaker 1>and then I found fifty bucks. I know. That's the

0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 1>best thing about it. It sounds fake, but it's not. How

0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:20.360
<v Speaker 1>long that twenty dollars has been in there for I

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know, But you know what the shitty part of

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>that story is, No, no one's taking cash. So now

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna sit on this and you found glory

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>for however many months until people start to take cashingg it.

0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I just nodded into the microphone. I don't know why

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I found that so funny, but it really was, all right,

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>my suck, my suck, what was my suck? Look, this

0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:44.120
<v Speaker 1>is not it's not a real suck. You guys are

0:44:44.120 --> 0:44:45.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna think that I'm just making up stuff now, which

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I kind of am. But because I've had really bad

0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:51.840
<v Speaker 1>anxiety this week, I've been having really bad dreams this week,

0:44:51.880 --> 0:44:54.719
<v Speaker 1>and so I keep on having this dream, and I've

0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>had it three times this week now in different variations.

0:44:57.400 --> 0:45:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Is it me? No, You're not my worst nightmare worried

0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 1>about You're safe. I keep having this dream that I

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.719
<v Speaker 1>am it's I must be like I'm my age, which

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:09.319
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make any sense. But I'm sitting like my HSC

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>exam or I'm sitting a test and no one has

0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 1>told me what day the test is on, but I

0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:17.520
<v Speaker 1>know that I haven't studied and know that the test

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is coming up like it's tomorrow or it's and the

0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:22.600
<v Speaker 1>problem is, like I'm going to really go into some

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 1>depths with this one. Yeah I'm here, so okay, So

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.799
<v Speaker 1>like I need to sit like my science tests, I

0:45:27.840 --> 0:45:29.640
<v Speaker 1>need to sit my maths tests. I need to sit

0:45:29.680 --> 0:45:31.640
<v Speaker 1>all the tests, but I need to know which day

0:45:31.680 --> 0:45:33.399
<v Speaker 1>each test is on so that I need I can

0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:35.919
<v Speaker 1>allocate which one I have to study for first, because

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I have like three days to get this shit done.

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:40.799
<v Speaker 1>And then I wake up in a full tis about

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I'm gonna sit my hate. It's weird.

0:45:43.440 --> 0:45:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm crying. I'm thirty four years old and I'm dreaming

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:48.680
<v Speaker 1>about my HC School exam. And I think that maybe

0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just stressed about having too much work or trying

0:45:51.320 --> 0:45:53.759
<v Speaker 1>to juggle too many things at one time, or the

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 1>fact that I can't leave my house. God knows, but

0:45:55.960 --> 0:45:59.080
<v Speaker 1>there's something that's coming into my sleep. It is that's

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>that's just a section of your life right now, Like

0:46:01.239 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you're stressed about your exams and you don't have time

0:46:03.640 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 1>to get it done. And I think that's probably how

0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you feel just with everything that's going on in your life.

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It's chaos, guys, disastf Do you have a sweet? Yes?

0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:13.759
<v Speaker 1>My sweet for the week is that we have finally

0:46:14.160 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>finally started to I know it's not spring, but I'm

0:46:17.239 --> 0:46:19.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna call it spring any weight. We've finally started to

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:22.759
<v Speaker 1>spring clean our apartment and throw away. We just have

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.319
<v Speaker 1>so much stuff I can't even begin to describe to you.

0:46:25.360 --> 0:46:28.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just stuff. That comes out of nowhere and accumulates

0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:30.840
<v Speaker 1>in bundles all over the house. So we've started to

0:46:30.920 --> 0:46:33.640
<v Speaker 1>slowly clean out and throw away some of the stuff.

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 1>So we are not going to be the BONDI horders anymore.

0:46:35.760 --> 0:46:40.400

0:46:40.960 --> 0:46:44.080

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:46.719

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:51.279
<v Speaker 1>in a week. Last week I was complaining about my

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.840
<v Speaker 1>back pain, So that's not going to come as surprise
