I was a very 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.400 anxious baby too. No, I have been a nail bit 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.240 in my whole life.

But producer Grace said, absolutely not. 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:52.680 We're not talking about the fact that you're no longer 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.400 biting your nails. So I've said it without anything. I 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.080 said it live, so no one can. I'm going like, really. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.120 Rogue, what made you stop? 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.080 There was a bit of gun under it and I 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.960 tasted it and it was frowl and I had to 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.040 decide that's that's that's the line. So I actually went 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.720 into chemists warehouse and I got some of that. Aunt 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.520 read stop by stop By. 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.280 Yeah, like the nails stop By. It's the best. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.160 It works, So my mouth tastes discussing.

And I say this because I am getting 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.319 censored everyone. My mother in law, she has just recently retired, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:38.959 and she used to be a school teacher, so she 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.240 never ever ever could listen to the pick. This is 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.200 Mattie J's, my beautiful mother in law. We've had her 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.440 on the show a few times. Well, she's now retired 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.480 and she's now listening to every show. And I got 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.600 a real dressing down after something I said that went 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:53.200 very wrong. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.560 Oh god, all right, can't wait to hear about that. 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.320 Let's go that's next. As we start to pick up 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.360 for your Tuesday AVO. Here at Chemists Warehouse today, I 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.560 get great savings every day. I'm just rubbing my nails 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.200 together at Billy Parton because I've got friends. It's disgusting, Mitchell, 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.520 back after this, you guys. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.959 Might remember the other day Britain mitche I was talking 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:11.800 about when I was coming to work and how I 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.680 almost died. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.880 And I don't mean that, lad, I remember so dramatic. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.640 So painful about it Too's me that was just like 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.680 a lot like you didn't almost die. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.200 I did. It was my closest near death experience. I 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.760 was almost run over in the street by maniac. Okay, 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.160 I have listen to this all right. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:29.680 Picture this. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.040 I just dropped the kids off of daycare and I 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.200 had a coffee in one hand, I had my phone 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:34.840 on the other hand. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.880 I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the road. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.800 It was a pedestrian crossing, and so, believe it or not, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.360 I kind of assume that when you approach a pedestrian crossing, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.880 cars stop. It's like the Red Sea. You think they're 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.000 just gonna part ways for you to cross it. Out 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.160 of my periphery, it feels like the car that's coming 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.160 is coming too fast. I look up and there it 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.640 is this ninety year old lady in a Mercedes with 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.880 all her windows down, fanging. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.360 It straight across the pedestrian cross and I was. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.239 Like, this is one of two things. She either probably 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.680 shouldn't have a license, or she has such little time 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:07.639 left she doesn't care. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.040 So you're rubbishly of the country. 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.799 It was almost runnen down and flattened by a geriatric No, 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.560 I was you went looking. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:17.800 It was your fault. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.840 You have to look left, right and left, even at 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:20.360 a crossing. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.440 I don't know it was a pedestrian crossing anyway. Okay, 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.440 that's not what happened here. So my beautiful mother in law, Ellie, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.840 she's moving in with us and she's just come down 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.600 to stay with us for a little while. We love, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.000 we love Ellie. We've had her on the show many times. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.000 And I walked in I hadn't seen Ellie for a 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.800 little while, and she said, Laura Burne, I have a 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:40.680 bone to pick with you. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:41.800 Now. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.880 What's happened is that Ellie has recently retired. She used 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.000 to be a school teacher, so she never ever listened 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.800 to the pickup before. So we have spoken about Ellie 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.560 many times on the show. I get to tell stories, 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.520 I can speak freely knowing that my mother in law 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.240 is never going to hear. But the tables have turned 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.960 because now she's listening to every single show, and she 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.680 had some real feelings about the fact that I was 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.000 on my phone and crossing a p. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:08.920 So what did she say to you? She's scolding you. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.120 Oh yeah, I got scolded like a teenager, like I 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.600 was a naughty little girl, and she told me how 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:14.400 wrong I was. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.320 And I still know. I stand by this. I know 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.279 you shouldn't check. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.560 Your phone when you're near the road, but people need 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.839 to stop if they're coming to a pedestrian crossing. 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.159 That's why the lines are there. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.520 Laura, you can't constantly blame other people for your mistakes 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.200 and also take this as a compliment. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:31.960 She likes you. She doesn't want you to die, she 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:32.960 wants you to stay married. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.400 Wait wait, wait, Ellie, Wait wait, Matt's mom's SAME's Ellie, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.840 Ellie and she listens to the pick up every day. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.360 Hold on, producer, Grace is just I think, as Ellie called. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.039 Through, We've got Laura's mother and Laura. 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:53.080 Ellie mom, stop embarrassing me. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.960 If you no, no, no, no, no, you do not listen. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.880 I am so really, I'm so cross. First of all, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.960 my darling girl, you are now the mother of two 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:15.640 beautiful girls to adore you, and you have a husband 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:21.000 who'd be lost without you. So tell me, please, why 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.640 you were walking across a road while looking at your phone. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.280 Yes, Laura, yeah, tell us because I didn't think it's 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.000 going to be an intervention time, because it was a 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.600 pedestrian crossing and I didn't. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.320 Laura Burn, you will stop there because it is not 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:45.440 a magical accident free zone with some invisible armor plated protection. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:51.080 You do not realize how many insane drivers are out 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.240 there who are probably looking at their own phones. Now, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.680 you know what, as much as I am cross with 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.960 you because we love you too much for you to 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:08.640 die some ridiculous death, and I'm not here to pick 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.000 up the pieces, Laura Burn, no, I. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.560 Know, and also Matt would be very sad to lose me. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.520 What I do think though, I kind of pleased that 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.760 you've raised it in a way because I think there 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:28.360 is a valuable lesson here for young people. They can 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.839 wear their headphones on the bus, on the train, in 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:38.239 the park, skate park, whatever, on the beach, but when 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:44.279 you are navigating busy streets, headphones don't have a place. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.160 Wow, Ellie, I love you to death. You are hopefully 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.280 not to death.

The Gold Coast Volunteer of the Year last 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.400 year has started a petition and written into the mayor 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.520 to ban something from our Ozzie Beaches, something that I 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:38.560 don't think should be banned. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.000 And I'm going to tell you all about it after 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:40.679 the break. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.640 All right, next on the pickup, Mitch and Laura. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.680 There is a fierce debate going on around Australia today, 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.840 but it is centered around the Gold Coast beaches. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.560 Now, there is this man. His name's Ian. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.000 He was the Volunteer of the Year in twenty twenty two, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.920 so this is like an upstanding citizen and he has 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.920 recently started a petition. He's written into the Mayor of 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.880 the Gold Coast. He wants to ban wait for it, 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:14.640 he wants to ban g sturing bikinis from our beaches 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.720 because he feels inappropriate when he looks at them and 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.160 he thinks they're a bit much. Now, not only does 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.840 he feel this way about bikinis, but he's also said 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.000 he feels equally is uncomfortable by active wear like tight, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.400 like a girl that's walking past in tight yep, tight 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.120 workout clothes, and he thinks they shouldn't be allowed to 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.160 be on our beaches. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.560 And it started a bit of a kickoff. Wait, so 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:39.880 what has happened here then? 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.400 So like is this actually being like, is this actually 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.199 a possibility? 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.679 Has it been rejected? Is it going aid? Is there 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:47.240 a petition? 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:52.080 Why are we listening to Terry the volunteer of the Year, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.800 which is probably a self nominated award? 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.240 Can I just say his name was Ian? 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:55.520 Mitch? 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.520 Don't? I don't remember Ian's name? 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.440 Why does a he have to change based on what 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.800 one volunteer wants because it makes him uncomfortable that he 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:04.400 sees a woman. 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.960 He's obviously the social vigilante. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.959 I mean like he's you know, he's volunteering hard, he's 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:13.800 starting petitions. I mean, look, bikinis are getting smaller and 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:14.720 smaller and smaller. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.559 They really are. 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.760 I mean, if you go down Bondo Beach, they are 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.920 almost miniscule these days. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.520 I've read the official complaint. I've got the applepavit that 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.480 he submitted to the Gold Coast Mayor. He says he 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.679 documents an incident with a woman who was, apparently these 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.120 are his words, as close to naked as anyone could 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:36.320 be walk past him recently. Mister Grace claimed he inadvertently 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.680 looked at her, writing that while it was a pleasant view, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.480 she was sending the wrong message. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.240 I'll stop here, get off your high horse in. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.679 But just remember he inadvertently looked at her too. 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.680 It was inadvertent and the view was pleasant, but he 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.439 is outraged by the view. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.920 He outraged what he felt down below well. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.400 He also went on to say that while he did 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.839 see earlier in the day a woman in very tight 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.800 active wear and swimwear, and then he ended up being 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.719 served coffee by her at the local coffee shop, and 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.280 he didn't couldn't look her in the eye because he's like, 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.000 oh my god, I feel like I have I feel 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.920 like I'm violating you because I saw you half naked 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:08.720 on the beach before. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:09.640 So he's got a. 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.360 Real problem with people in tight clothes and nudity. But 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.760 I just think, come on, like, we're a nation of beaches. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.440 We can't ban swimwear. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.080 I also think that this is I mean, look, I 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.640 know that there's going to be a lot of people 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.840 listening who probably think that some bikinis are getting too small. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:26.800 That's fine. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:28.880 But at the end of the day, men can walk 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.160 around in a pair of speedos, a tiny pair of speedos, 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.719 nipples out, chest out, hairy legs out, hairy chest out. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.000 No one's complaining. Sometimes I feel violated in the eyes 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.719 because I have to look at it down at the 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.679 swimming baths. But I mean, do you know what, Let 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.480 people wear and do whatever the hell they want to. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.559 I'm all for free speech, I'm all for Ian protesting 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.160 removing bare bums on the beaches. But speaking of feeling uncomfortable, 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.040 I inadvertently looked at this photo of Ian and I 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.679 feel I feel well and I feel sick. I'm sorry, 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.480 But if you put a white wig on a like 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:02.480 little pussy cat wig like Mary J. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.840 Blige would wear on a beach troop, that would be Ian. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.200 You don't stop it, no, don't produce, just not on 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.080 the name calling poor Ian, it's not about that. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.640 Well, I'm a big bikini wearer, and I'm upset that 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.559 he wants to strip me of my simple pleasuring. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.920 Life, of your right to wear a bikini at the 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.320 beach and get those beautiful buns out, sons out. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:20.600 Correct. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.120 I don't have to got a link craft and wrap myself 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.800 in like a bed sheet to get a bikini working. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.120 But it is stop it. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.440 Look, we're not about double standards. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.440 If men are walking around in budget smugglers with their 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.439 nipples out, it's all right for women to walk around 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.800 with a skimpy little bikini on end of actually. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.560 A very good point brief, and he has no problem 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.959 with men doing it because he's not inavertently looking down there. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.600 But it's when women are sexualized that he is upset 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:41.880 by it. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.280 Yeah no, But also, I mean there's so many look 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.080 to be fair. Reading through some of more of Ian's quotes, 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.200 I think that Ian might be the problem here. He's 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.320 overtly sexualizing young girls at the beach who are just 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.200 wearing a bikini. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:55.040 Ian, grow up. 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.480 Yeah, Can we question why Ian spending so much time 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.040 at the beach looking at younger women. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.960 Because he enjoyed the view but he's outraged. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.520 In is that any one hotel? Or is Ian just 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.640 walked in the room? All right, everyone, Next on the show, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.000 Divina Rankin is joining us now. You may remember Devina 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.160 Rankin from Married at First Sight twenty eighteen. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.760 She was married to that grasshopper of a guy what 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:16.319 was his name? 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.720 Cares about him about Maths at the moment. But Divina 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.400 twenty eighteen, she's got a whole new thing happening. And 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.800 look her life has been revolutionized by celibacy. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.480 Wow, all right, that is next here on the ian 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.480 Ian I'll love her? Do you love it? Getting on? 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.760 Coming out next now Married at First Sight currently back 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:44.640 on our TVs. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.599 It is a ratings juggernaut. 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.240 This is just people love that show and all the 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.200 way back from the early seasons Australia just felling love 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.480 with Maths. Now cast you mine back to twenty eighteen 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.599 where we met some iconic cast members of one of 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.240 the original seasons of mass You might remember the name 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.880 Divina rank I remember Divina, she was in that big cheating 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.440 scandal with Dean Wells. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.360 You know why this was such a pivotal time because 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.040 it was the very first of the Maths cheating scandals, 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.880 like every year now there's sums chantent, but this was 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.200 like ground zero of it. And I also think it 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.360 was so over the top of the time like that, 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:16.760 or they didn't even cheat on each other. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.200 Since then, she's she's written a children's book, she's a 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.880 podcaster and a champion of self love. She's actually just 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.920 done something really crazy for the last twelve months. That's 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.000 why she's joining us. The one and only Divina Rank 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.000 and Welcome to the pickup. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:34.200 Hello, Hi guy, Dona introduction Divina. We're so excited to 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.480 be speaking to you today. You have just done one 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.040 year of celibacy. Why on earth? I was just say, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.080 why did you decide to do celibacy? But maybe you 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.520 didn't actually intend to do it? Talk us through what 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:47.440 that what happened? 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.200 Well, it's funny because people are like, oh my god, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.000 this is so shocking. I think it's like, I'm probably 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.800 the first math person who's been making the news for 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.560 not sleeping around. But yeah, it's it's honestly, it was 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.280 unintentional to begin with. I have gone through a massive 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.440 transition in my life over the last few years, one 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.800 of them being separating from my husband. So it was 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.520 just a really tough time to go through. And one 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.240 of the things I realized is I was like, oh 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.720 my god, my whole life. I think I've just rushed everything. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.440 You know, you're in your twenties, You're like, when am 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.800 I going to get married? When am I going to 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.080 find the one? You know, it's just a rush for ever. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.800 And I think this is the first time in my 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.240 life that I was really able to just slow down 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.880 and actually like get to know myself as who I 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.440 am and not someone who's like a wife or a 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.760 mother or anything like that. So my self development journey 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.760 kind of just casually led me into my celibacy. It's 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.080 actually been the biggest journey and most transformative journey. 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:47.360 Of my life. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.880 Savina, how do you, like, how do you deal with 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.160 the fact, because obviously when you were on Maths it 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.440 was quite controversial at the time, and I think that 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.560 you were very much painted as being, you know, a 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.280 bit of a temptress because there was this ridiculous cheating 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.320 scandal that kind of unfolded. But then going and you know, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.200 you have your little girl, you were married very shortly after. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.880 What do you do to try and change people's perception 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.360 or do you just kind of get to a point 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:11.720 where you accept, oh, people are going to think what 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:12.320 they're going to think. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.040 I think like, you definitely can't change the way people 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.960 think about you. All you can do is just show 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.440 up as who you are. And I think it's a 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.040 hard thing of being on national television is you kind 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.760 of get painted in a way that isn't necessarily truly you. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.840 It's not a true depiction, a true depiction of your 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.920 actual character. So it kind of as hard as it 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.120 was that whole time, it's also been kind of fun 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.240 getting to show the real me and people figuring it 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.440 out to themselves. Like one of my favorite comments or 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.400 one of my favorite dms to readers when they're like, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.600 oh my god, I hated you, but now I love you, 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.920 like I love following you, I love your life. This 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.239 is great. So it's yeah, it's nice. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.760 Hey, Devina, I'd love to know because you hear a 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.840 lot of I want to say, athletes. You hear a 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.360 lot of people talk about the effects physiologically and the 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.040 positive outcomes that people experience when they when they are celibate. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.000 A lot of athletes won't do the deed before they 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.840 have a big match or something because they get all 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:10.520 these clarity. 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.440 Do you notice anything over. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.639 A twelve month period within yourself that is remarkably different? 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:16.000 Oh? 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.520 Absolutely, Like a lot changes When you are pouring all 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.119 of your energy back into yourself and only watering the 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.920 things that you are interested in, only doing the things 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.080 that you're interested in, You've got so much time to 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.560 like actually sign up for courses, learn new things, read 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:32.240 more books. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:32.560 You know. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.679 It's when your all your energy is focused on the 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.800 things that you actually want to do, rather than being 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.040 leaky with your energy and just spreading it here, there 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:44.159 and everywhere to everyone else. Not necessarily in the bedroom, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.080 but I mean just by saying no to other people, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.960 you're actually saying a big yes to you. And how often, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.000 you know, do we say yes to ourselves? 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.320 I love it. That's like an head talk, so you 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.240 could do it almost. I'm thinking, I don't need any 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.240 of it anymore. I'm going to go out. 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.120
