1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Thrilling podcasting. Now. Right now, I'm asking for people to

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit honest with us, because I feel

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: like every every story, every gift, every meme that I'm

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: getting sent right now about isolation is focused around how

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: we can stay connected, how we can keep in touch

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: with each other. I saw a little story today about

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: a guy who invented like a diy S saw that

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: went over his neighbor's fence so that they could seesaw

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: while talking to each other from a socially acceptable distance. Well,

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: there was a good idea, But then I just don't

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: know whether that all of this hype around staying connected

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: is actually totally in line with how everybody actually feels

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: about the fact that they're disconnected. Because from all the

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: conversations that I'm having with people right now, yeah, most people,

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: when you know, we're not publicly talking about it, are

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: actually shuffed that they don't have to maintain a lot

17
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: of their old relationships. Yeah.

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: The sad thing about this whole thing is in isolation,

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: I found that my lifestyle actually hasn't changed that much.

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Well, I'm just super antisocial, you

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: know this. Yes, I'm a bit of a hermit. Crab,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: So my life's pretty similar.

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Yes, you've been, really you've been. You've been exactly the same,

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: but you probably but you probably removed that anxiety around, like,

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: hey do I have to see that person? I haven't

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: seen that person for a while, you know, which is

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, for introverted people to something that lingers over

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: their head And what I would have mind doing now,

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: because I feel like people feel bad about that. I

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are feeling really really

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: like that. They're only telling their close friends that. But

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: what I wouldn't mind doing right now? For one O

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: six five, that's our phone number. I'd love to hear

34
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: from some people, like, is anybody actually really enjoying the

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: fact that they don't have to speak to as many

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: people as they used to? Like what sort of piece

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: are you finding there? Because I just think all this

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: garbage about like oh god, here's me sneaking out and stuff.

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people have reached a

40
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: real space of comfort within their own minds and their

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: own homes now where they're going. I'm actually really happy

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: that I don't have to maintain a lot of relationships.

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: And there's probably a lot of people that I'm glad

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to say anything.

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: Are you happy about it?

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get there.

47
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: Is there anyone? Is there a group of people, or

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: is anyone in particular that you're like, I'm so glad

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: First, then our button push of Joel.

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: Holy moly, he's right there listening to.

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I have to agree with you. Now, maybe

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm putting myself out there a little bit if I've

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: got friends of mine and family of mine that are listening.

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: But I think it's important to be honest about this

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: because I think initially there was some real panic around

57
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: the fact that we couldn't see the people that we

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: would normally see. And now, moll these people I speak

59
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: to have found a real sense of calm in the

60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: fact that they don't have to maintain as many relationships

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: as they previously want.

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no social pressures.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: There's no social pressure and like, And I spoke to

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: a friend of mine this morning who gets really bad anxiety,

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: and I was really worried about him, and he said

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: to me that he has never been calmer in his life. Wow,

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: And just realizing how stressed out it made him trying

68
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: to be a certain person for all these other people

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: in his life, and he just doesn't have to do

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: that anymore. Do you know what else?

71
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: We don't have fomo. There's no fomo because we realize

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: no one is doing anything. So you not sitting if

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: you are at home, you're sitting there going, oh damn,

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm set out on that party, yeah, or that thing

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: that I got. Nothing's on.

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's absolutely nothing on. But I've asked you, guys

77
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: to call thirty one and six five. You're happy to

78
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: be open about this. I've got Emma who's called on

79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: thirty one and six five. Good, I Ama, Hi, guys,

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: how are you? Yeah? Really really well? Am are you?

81
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: You're enjoying the fact that you don't have to continue

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: these sorts of relationships. This has been a blessing in disguise.

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Just look at the positive. I don't have to see

84
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: my in laws after twenty four.

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Years and think epretending.

86
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: You might say conversation because I'm not bloody interested.

87
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Oh I love it. I mean the other and then

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: that's it. And I think that the other part of

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: this is woods is that not only is it relieving,

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: I think it's really shining a light on the fact

91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: that we're actually not humans aren't very good at maintaining

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: a lot of relationships. We're actually really awful at it.

93
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: And I think that like physiologically a person can only

94
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: have ten ten emotionally strong relationships. That is, that is

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the peak of your powers. And I'm not just saying

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: that for you or for men. I'm saying that for everybody.

97
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: That is what you're actually physically capable of doing is

98
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: being connected with ten people across the planet, and all

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, with tech, you're meant to keep up

100
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: with fifty people at the same time. And I feel

101
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: like emotionally that just puts this huge strain on your

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: heart and your mind, trying to be connected with everybody

103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: when you just physically can't.

104
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: Apparently that stems from when we were we hung out

105
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: in tribes.

106
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: So try I love in trouble on me, no, thank you.

107
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love getting trouble to you know this, But

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: apparently in tries there are only ten or fifteen people

109
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: in the tribe, and we still that is how we

110
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: like to be. Many people who like to socialize. Yeah,

111
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: we got on a call here from Ashley on thirteen

112
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: one O six y five. Ashually you enjoy not having

113
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: that pressure of seeing so many people. Hey, guys, Yeah, ah,

114
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: I am absolutely loving it. I finally got sent home

115
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: the other day because I mean.

116
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: They're sort of more resentual work, and it's just an

117
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: absolute blessing.

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: I love being at home. I love not having chalked

119
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: my work, my.

120
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: Partner, workmates.

121
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: It's only serious to What's like, how could you not

122
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: be happy?

123
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lovely space to be. And Ashley, can

124
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: you did isolate workmates there? Though? Like? Is that probably

125
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: the relationship where you look at going because I think

126
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be listening thinking the same thing.

127
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of chit chat at work that

128
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: we all go through, which is all about maintaining your

129
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: relationships at work, which of course you want to be

130
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: amicable to people, but sometimes you rock up to work

131
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: and you go, I wouldn't mind it being in my

132
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: room with a video camera on my face. So I

133
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: have to talk to the right people at the right times.

134
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Our workmates are listening.

135
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ashley, what do you think about that? Yeah, one

136
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I agree.

137
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: You know, like I can be a sociable person, but

138
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: I think people just know now to look at my

139
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: face and go all right, it's not the day to talk.

140
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: To her today. So yeah, you've got to be social.

141
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: You gotta be amical when you can at work.

142
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: But I'm absolutely, actually so much of the call mate

143
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: what he was actually saying exactly the same thing to

144
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: me before about our team and how he hates most

145
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,919
