WEBVTT - Talking Contraception 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.800 Hi, guys, and I'll welcome back to another episode of 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.080 Life unput. I'm Laura and I'm Brittany, and sometimes I 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.520 just can't even with you. Laura, What have I done? 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.040 Just everything? What did I do? It just made me 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:33.960 lowell in general? 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:34.360 Do you know what? 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.239 I started back at pilates this week, and I think 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.519 Brittany is laughing at the fact that I can't actually 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.000 move and I have to lower myself onto the seat 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.080 like I'm an old lady going to the toilet, not 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:44.600 gonna lie. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.720 Watching you crab walk around the room. Is that has 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:47.800 been the highlight of my day. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:48.559 You're welcome. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.040 I have a question for you, though, Oh straight up, 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.920 straight in, just gonna get straight into this. So I 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.720 have something to admit, and that is that I missed 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.760 a couple of Paradise episodes. I'm sorry, excuse me. I 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.360 know I haven't been there for you. I feel like 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.600 a shit friend. But I did watch last night's episode. 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.319 So guys were recording tonight. Tonight is Monday, which means 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.600 we're really doing a mad dash to the finish line 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.640 whether this needs to be out tomorrow. But I watched 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.119 last night's episode, which was Sunday night's episode and. 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.520 Where the fuck were you? 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.279 Do you know how many messages I got been like, hey, Britt, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.679 only watching for you, but where are you? 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.360 Do you have diarrhea as well? 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.360 Like I know Jess was out because she was sick 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.479 and she had to take some time out, but I 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.120 did were you? Were you out shooting yourself in a 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.440 tent that actually was a little gashtro outbreak. There were 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.679 a few people that ended up getting sick. I actually 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:42.479 was not one of them. I think from my liver 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.959 a parasite from the Amazon, Like I have guts of steel. Now, 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.680 nothing you can get, nothing can bring me down. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.640 But you would think with a few people out for 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:50.680 the count that you would have gotten more airtime, But 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.120 if anything, they took the airtime off you. What were 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.360 you doing that was so boring that you didn't get 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.960 any airtime on that episode? 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.200 The drama started and I just jumped in a canoe 0:01:59.240 --> 0:01:59.920 and necked it out of it. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.280 You were like paddleboarding your way out of paradise. No, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.520 I'm do you know what? I think? 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.640 It was just there was so much other drama going on, 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:08.839 and I do not get involved in the drama ever. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:09.919 I don't want a piece of it. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.040 I have never wanted I said this on my Instagram. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.680 I've never wanted to operate more than I. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.080 Did at that dinner party. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.399 I wanted out, what does apparate mean? 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.160 Oh my god, you guys, you know how she doesn't 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:22.760 watch friends? 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.840 Do we all just learn a new word? Apparate? Operate? 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.919 It's oh, I like you so much. It's from Harry Potter. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:31.600 It's where they disappear. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.440 It's like a magical power and they can trans they 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.119 like they can transport from where they are to somewhere else. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:36.440 Like that. 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.000 You're calling me cute because I don't know some weird 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.080 Harry Potter reference. I'm gonna say there's probably a lot 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:43.880 of people who just listened to this podcast who had 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.880 no idea what apparate means. I thought that you were 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.720 just using a big word, but now you're quoting her. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.639 Your husband, Matt commented on my photo and he was like, yes, 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:52.200 strong use of the word operate. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:56.079 He was roping. He's also a manchild, so don't think 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:56.680 that that counts. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.240 No. I just not involved in the drama and it 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.360 just went down high. You guys only saw a snippet 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.080 of it. It was just the most intense dinner. It was like, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.920 I don't want to say it. I felt like married 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.960 at first sight or something. I just wanted to dig 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.200 a hole, put my head in it like an ostrooch, 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:10.800 and wait for the night to be done. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.080 I was going to say that the new format with 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040 the whole dinner parties and the unboxing of these questions 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.120 has a real Maths. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.959 Vibe, and I mean, look, I'm not against it. I 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.040 don't hate it like I love Maths. You guys all 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.840 know that, but I kind of dislike the lack of 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.120 originality around it. And I also dislike the fact that 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.240 it is just to really trudge up true drama. At 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.840 least with like the Maths dinner party, I feel like 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.680 they ask loving questions as well, and they kind of 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.760 draw out the romance a little bit, whereas with this 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.000 and the way that they've framed Paradise, all of the 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.360 questions that have come out of that box. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.160 As soon that box is on the fucking day, we 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.000 were like, that is doom and gloom and misery. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.520 We started to get anxiety when we saw the box 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.360 come out, or someone or usher was like, blul a 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.400 banquet nite, We'll getting anxiety because no, no, I mean, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.280 there were some nice questions that came out here and there, 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.920 but we all knew essentially it was to get down 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.160 to the nitty gritty and get answers from things that 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.320 everyone was talking about. And you know what, I just 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.240 want to go and drink some wine, eat some oysters 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.240 and just like fall in love too? 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.600 Is it too much to us? I love? 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.400 I think you went on the wrong show for that, babe. Anyway, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.360 it was, it was eventful, but you need to catch up. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.919 I know, I know, guys, I'm going and catching up. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.840 We're also missing tonight's episode because we're recording the podcast, 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.280 but please jump on our Facebook group and update us, 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.080 because as soon as we are done recording this, I'm 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.520 gonna get on there and I'm going to get deep 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.280 in the comment section to know what's going on. 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.120 Funny because when you don't actually watch because we can't 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.440 watch it now, like Laura just said, I'm like, oh 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.000 my god, what's actually happening right now? 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:37.960 What is everyone seeing that? 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.000 I don't know because we don't get to see the episode, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.479 so we watch it as you guys watch it, so 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.560 I don't know what I'm doing right now. I don't 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.240 know what's being said. So it does make me a 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.600 little bit anxious that I'm not in control right now. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.919 Just the woosa. We're here doing the podcast. You're in 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:52.760 your safe. 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:57.600 Space, But how is your weak enough about my island life. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.520 I had a very eventful thing happen to me, and 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.960 it's something it's something that I have been expecting, but 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.960 yet when it happened, it was particularly unexpected and I 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.560 didn't know how to process it when it was happening. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.360 Oh my god, Marley pood in the bath for the 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:14.119 first time. 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:21.440 She's never done that. She took a dumb that's so rank, Like, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.600 that's my worst time. Man. It really was like I 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.080 just I knew it was coming. I knew the day. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.560 Would come eventually and it would dawn on me. I 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.280 just didn't expect it to be so so now boyant. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.400 What was I think this is like a critical question. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.880 What what was a consistency like submarine log or like 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:43.760 buoyant or spread out and running. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.080 Look, it was very dispersed. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.760 I would say that it had absorbed a lot of 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.600 the water in very quick succession, but it was very buoyant. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.560 So anyway it was. It was extremely confronting, but. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.200 The even even more confronting part of this story is 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.960 that I got Marley out of the bar, I obviously 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.200 put it straight in the shower. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:03.200 We cleaned her up. 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.799 I came out and I was like dying in hysterics, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.520 and I told Matt what had happened, and he was 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.440 like totally random, Like this is the most random segue 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:13.200 of what had happened. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.760 But Matt was like, oh, did you know. 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.960 That there was a study that came out this year 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.360 that reported that. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:23.400 One in thirty people shit in the shower. What so 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.520 like adult grown people, like adult humans. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.520 So there's this study that came out of the UK. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.679 There's a company called QS Supplies, and they have found 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:39.279 that one in thirty people. They interviewed one thousand and 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.280 ten different individuals from Britain and from the States, and 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.560 they found that one in thirty of those thousand admitted 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.640 to shitting in the shower. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.440 That that is messed up. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.560 Have a lot of feels about that, Like I guess 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.200 I need to know are they sober, are they drunk? 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:56.279 Are they like? 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.720 What what conscious state are they in? 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.360 They really redefined the whole idea of having a shit 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.920 shower and a shave doesn't it. But then how does 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:06.839 it go down the drain? 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.760 Well, I think you have to just stomp it down. Well, okay, okay, right. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.040 There was more to this study as well. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.000 I'm sorry guys that this has taken a really graphic 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.680 turn for really early on. But if I had to 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.520 experience a poo in the bathtub, it's all fun and 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.000 gains until someone poos in the pool, You're all going 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.239 to experience it. So there was more to this study. Basically, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.960 there were five different questions. It turns out that one 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.800 in three people pee in the shower, which I'm going 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.240 to admit to I pee in the shower. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.120 I've definitely done it. It's a lot on a regular 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.200 like i'd prefer to use the toilet. But also if. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.160 You're in there and there's and it hits you real 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.840 hard and fast, I'm going to get out. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.520 And sometimes it hits you hard and fast because it's 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.640 so warm, you can't stop, and you're like you're so pree, 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.360 so relaxed, it's like so warm, it small winter. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.240 Would I would be surprised if eighty percent of people 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:52.840 didn't wean the shower. 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.760 So it says one in three people wei in the shower, 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.000 which makes me think that two people are lying. And 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.760 then the next one was one in four people blow 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:01.880 their nose in the shower. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.880 Yes, I think every man in the universe does. I 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:06.200 also blow my nose in the shower. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.240 Give it a good bush turkey with its tissue, just 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.040 like straight down. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.720 Nah, just straight down the drain, wash it off. A 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.760 bush turkey. It's not called a bush turkey. Isn't it 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.119 a bush turkey? Thought? Sorry, I don't know what Harry 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.000 Potter is. Okay, you're just such a lady, and you've 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.240 clearly never gone camping. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.480 A bush turkey is where only go camping. Bush turkey 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.120 is where you put one finger over one nostril and 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.200 just as as hard as you can. 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:30.520 We do that in surfing. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.760 It's called tap noose when you surf, so I grab 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.560 surfings tap nose. You get really running nose and you 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.400 have to like shoot it out into the ocean. Okay, 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.600 so tap nose must be the coasty version of this. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.360 But a bush turkey is when you're from. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.120 The inland, or if your dad is from the army. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:44.880 So so okay. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.080 One in three people urinate one and four people blow 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.920 their nose. One and five people spit in the shower, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.160 which I'm like, I'm not gonna make a habit of it, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.640 but if you need to do it, sure whatever. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:54.680 It doesn't offend me. 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:55.960 Yeah, I don't know why you'd need to do it, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.360 but also I don't I mean, that's just gonna go 0:08:58.400 --> 0:08:58.840 down the shower. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.000 That's okay, Yeah, okay, right, one and twenty people masturbate 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.960 in the shower. And I'm gonna say that if one 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.960 and twenty people masturbate in the shower, it's probably mostly men. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:09.520 Like, I don't think it's twenty. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120 I think it would be a bit awkward for a 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.440 woman to masturbate in the shower. I think it'd be 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:15.800 better for a woman to do it than a man 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.440 because a bit too like not enough grip. Oh No, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.320 I think a lot of men masturbate in the shower, Brud, 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.079 I don't know. Yeah, I think that that's a pretty 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.079 many think they do it everywhere. Ladies go and ask 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.520 your husbands, your boyfriends. Don't ask your brothers or your 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.840 dad's it's weird do they masturbate in the shower? Doing 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:31.480 our own poll? 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:32.199 Okay. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.320 And then lastly, number five on the list was that 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.480 one in thirty people pooh in the shower. 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.280 I'm just sorry, but I feel like i've been here 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.000 by bus. I am gobsmacked. I just don't know who 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.199 these people are and what went wrong in their childhood. 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:51.080 I am also traumatized because, like most bathrooms have a 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.920 toilet like right next to the shower, also perfectly perfectly 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.040 manufactured and designed receptacle for poohs. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.160 It's definitely not your shower, and. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.160 It's always next door, so it's like two steps, maybe 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.199 two long lunges at the most, and even mine literally 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:08.040 just walk out of the bar. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.440 We're all out of bed. We're all out of bed, 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.160 and you're in the dummy. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.320 I'm an on sweet's what Britney's talking about. We don't 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:15.720 have a bed pen under the ben or anything. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:15.920 Guys. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.400 Okay, so this this all got a bit wild. I'm 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.079 sorry if that was a bit much for you. Where 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.320 it for ten minutes into the episode and we've talked 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:24.320 a lot about number two. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.000 It's actually interesting. They were interesting statistics. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.680 But I'm I'm a mum and so much of my 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:35.280 life is taken up by pooh. So you're welcome, So 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.559 what do you Okay, here's my question how did you 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.280 actually deal with it? You just push it down and drain, 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:40.400 or do you have to get a bag like a 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.080 dog boo and pick it up? Well, the good thing 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.720 when you have a dog is that we have plenty 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.520 of doggy bags lying around. Then I used a good 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.200 solid amount of Domestos bleach and really gave that bath 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:51.720 tub a clean. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.840 All right, guys, with that well and truly done my 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.959 event for week, Brittany, your eventful week. It is time 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:01.360 for our favorite part of the episode, and that is 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:06.240 Accidentally Unfiltered, where we tell you your most embarrassing stories and 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.640 we all laugh at you together because we're. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.320 A community, and that's what communities who love each other do, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.080 laugh together, laugh together and at each other and with 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.400 each other, and we build each other up and then 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:17.439 break each other down. 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.200 Brittany, give me number one. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:20.400 Am I gone straight to her? 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.600 Yeah? Accidentally unfiltered me? All right? 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.720 I just really felt for this girl. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:28.480 I do you know. 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.120 I think I say it every week because every time 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:30.760 we go all right. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.960 Songing in, I'm like, oh I would die, Okay, rip 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.320 my pants. I don't even know how you come back 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.920 from this one. So I had just gotten back from 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.800 a contiguing trip that I had gone on with one 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.840 of my girlfriends, and I was so excited to show 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160 my mum and dad all of my photos from the trip. 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.720 They wanted to see them on the big screen, of course, 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.800 but they didn't have a fancy TV, so we needed 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.200 to download my camera rel onto a USB and then 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.880 plug it in. We downloaded them onto the family computer, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.679 transferred them to a USB, and then the slide show commenced. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.240 Little did I remember that I had entertained my boyfriend, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.920 who wasn't on the trip, with some naked photos. And 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:14.360 by naked, I mean like proper hardcore close up, warm 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.000 mirror selfie naked. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.120 That is so aggressive. 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.600 I was starkly reminded of this when they proceeded to 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.160 roll through onto the big screen in front of my 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.040 whole family, one after the other. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.640 They just kept on coming. They kept coming through, and 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.360 every time I pressed next, next, next, next, next, next 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:33.440 photos to pump me. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.160 Through, I was mortifyingly trying to skip through them, much 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.760 to my dismay. I thought the silence from my dad 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.320 was the worst until my mum blurted out how nice 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:43.760 she thought my strip was. 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:50.160 A why would you keep flicking through why wouldn't you 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.360 just stop and be like, everybody close your eyes. I 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:55.320 think it's so funny. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.760 I actually love my I loved the sign off that 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.120 her mum in that moment could be funny enough to 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.280 say looks like a great strip instead of true, like 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.040 your mom is the real mvpmvap. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.080 Oh my god. I'll never forget the day I was 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.480 like maybe fourteen years old or fifteen. I don't even 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:14.959 know how old you are when you get pubic hair, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.000 but however old, however old I was, I decided to 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.120 shave it all off, and I remember my mom walking 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.920 in on me in the shower and she was like, oh, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.480 what have you done? Have you done? And still to 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.880 this day, as a thirty four year old woman, every 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.640 time I shave myself, I think of my mom going, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.760 oh what have you done? So why was she just 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.440 watching you shave? No? No, no, she was. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.040 She just walked in and I'd obviously already done it, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.839 and she was like, oh, like baby. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:53.200 Care everywhere, clogging the drains. Oh I didn't know that 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:53.679 was funny. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.640 I also think it's probably something I would have done, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.400 where you panic and instead of just like closing it down, 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.440 you just start clicking next, and it just goes through 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.319 like the whole real every angle legs up, upside down, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:04.080 inside out. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.920 I'm just imagining getting worse and worse is worse, like 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.120 progressively more x rayded and poor dad and Nana. Betty's 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.600 just sitting there like, oh God. 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.920 Also, who's it worse for the parents or her? Because 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.880 I think their dad would be. I don't know how 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:19.640 you recover from that. 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:25.040 I don't think there's any winners in that. Okay, alright, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.400 I have I have a less x rated accidentally unfiltered, 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.120 but it's very adorable. But I kind of feel like 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:33.640 we can all relate a little bit. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.880 Recently, my ex boyfriend has started dating a new girl. 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.080 It was a really really bad breakup and I have 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.840 been completely heartbroken. And then, to make matters worse, they've 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.600 been really over the top on social media flaunting their 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.600 new relationship. So of course I've done what any normal 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.120 girl would do. I've stalked the shit out of this 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:55.720 new girlfriend, whose name is Brianna. So anyway to cheer 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.520 me up, my best friends recently took me away. It 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.920 was a great, great weekend and many wines, many laughs, 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.320 and it honestly took my mind off my shattered heart 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.160 for a few days. When we got back home, I 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.800 posted the cutest picture of all four of us, and 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.760 I tagged my friends and I went to sleep. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:13.920 That's not gonna end well. 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.520 I woke up the next morning to seven miscalls from 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.840 my ex boyfriend and then I thought to myself, why 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.080 on earth would he be calling me? And it dawned 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.960 on me the fucking photo I didn't tag my best 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:31.600 friend Bianca. I had tagged his new girlfriend Brianna. And 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.720 now I want to move to a different country, change 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.320 my name. Except we're all stuck in a pandemic. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:40.080 But I just think I feel like this is common. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.720 We all stalk people and then their names just show 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.200 up as like the most recently searched. And I just 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.720 feel that this poor girl has gone and tagged her 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.840 friends and gone to bed and everyone has seen it, 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:56.120 Like everyone can imagine if you had but if you 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.640 were without your girlfriend and you were like what the fuck? 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.120 Like dish, she just want me to see that she's 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:01.680 having fun with. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.720 Her friends, Like it just wouldn't make any sense. It's like, 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.720 look how much I've moved on, Like what would she 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.240 be thinking? 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.960 No, I actually think that the new girlfriend would see 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.760 that and realize that she's accidentally tagged her and being like, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:12.640 I want a loser. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.400 She's stocking me. I would love to know what what 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:17.560 then new girlfriend was thinking. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.160 I have told you guys a story before about like 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.400 this is so many years ago, but when Facebook used 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.360 to have the function where you would search and then 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.160 directly below is where you would update your status, and 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.680 they looked like the same columns and I had put 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.600 in as my status I'm not going to say her 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.080 name home. I had just put in my boyfriend's ex 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.520 girlfriend's name, updated my status, and then. 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.600 Corn about my day. Yes, I used to store her 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.600 so much. I was obsessed. So for me, this is 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.720 a very status that was her name. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.760 It's like you're writing like a Brittany Hockley. That's it, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.360 it's your status. That's what I did. I just put 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.120 her full name, first name, and last name as my 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.520 status update on Facebook, and then I went to work 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.480 and found out nine hours later, but that's what I 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.640 had done. So I honestly I read this and I 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:02.840 was like, I feel for. 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.680 This killing your pain. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.080 Okay, So moving on to our next favorite section, which 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.040 is can't believe that they said that, which we brought 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.560 in last week, and it's a new section where it's 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.400 just like, literally, you cannot believe someone said that new 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.679 favor section. But before we jump into that and have 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:20.480 a lull, we just thought we'd tell you what the 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.399 episode's about, because that's why you're here. So this week's 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.000 actually something that you guys have actually requested a lot, 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.159 something that all women have to deal with and have 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.760 to think about, and it's really actually quite an important topic, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.919 and that is contraception. So we're going to jump in. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.560 We're going to talk about different types of contraception, what's 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.640 available to you, what we've used, problems that some people 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.800 have found. We've even got a little cameo guest coming on. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:48.720 Guys. We brought in Brittany's sister, who's just giving another 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.959 perspective because like Britta and I, I mean, we are 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.439 both really familiar with using the pill and we can 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.880 talk about our own personal experiences. But it was nice 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.399 having somebody to talk to who's used a completely different 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.520 type of contra which is I mean, some of you 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.520 guys might know it as implan on, other people might 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.879 know it as its an explanon. So Sherry jumped in 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.439 on this chat as well in a little while to 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.480 give her opinions and her experience and kind of what 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.800 she went through when she was using different contraception methods. 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.000 But before we get into that, we have our new 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.800 little segment, which is, I can't believe they said that 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:26.080 we've got a few doozies. I'm just gonna jump strainium. 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.239 I took a go home when I was working as 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.880 a personal trainer, which I already told him I had 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.080 done when you asked what I do. We went back 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.439 to my house and were fooling around. He grabbed my 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.160 stomach fat and said. 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.800 What's this? I thought you were a personal trainer? Oh 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:46.080 so bad, my actual god, And then what does she do? 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.399 I kicked him out of my place immediately, but he 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.240 left his expensive belt and tie, which I gifted to 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.639 my really good friend, which he walked to his friend's 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.399 house and got loads of compliments on. 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.600 For this kind of I mean, like, not the bad part, 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.720 but so kind of reminds me of a thing that 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.800 happened a very long time ago where a guy accidentally 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.960 left his jacket at your house. And now I see 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.320 you every day wearing that jacket. Brittain has no contact 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.480 with this guy anymore. This is like many moons ago. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.160 There's a really nice jacket and it's now. 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.359 Become a staple of your wardrobe. Oh yeah, look, I 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.280 was seeing someone. He had a nice coat. 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.439 He left it in my house and I took that 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.040 as a down payment because he's a fuck boy. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:25.480 And then when we. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:28.960 Stopped seeing each other, I just thought, well, why would 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.600 I give up this Kashmir hold on? 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:31.920 I completely understand. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.960 All right, I have I like to air your dirty 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.639 laundry on the podcast. Okay, so this is one that 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.000 was written in from someone. Oh guys, these like these 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:43.199 I can't believe they said that. 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.040 They absolutely kill our soul. But they're also kind of 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.919 funny at the same time. So this girl writes in, 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.159 So I'm very tall. I'm six point one and I 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.680 grew very quickly. I was six foot by the time 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.879 I was twelve. And when I was about thirteen, I 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.960 was in a supermarket and a man and his wife 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.400 came up to me and said, oh my god, you're 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.400 so tall, which, of course, at that age I got 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.680 all the time. And then the man followed up and said, 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.000 no one's ever going to love you. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.080 Oh my no, he didn't. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.640 And this was said to this girl when she was thirteen, 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.720 so she is obviously held onto this as like what 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:20.160 the fuck? 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.760 I mean her entire adult life. 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:23.920 At thirteen, all you think about is no one's gonna 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.240 love me anyway. And when an adult man tells you, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:27.720 what did you ax? 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.400 Why would no one love he? Because she's tall? 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.120 It's like goals. Everyone wants to be tall. 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.440 Maybe he was intimidated because he had short man syndrome, 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.480 which is what this sounds like. Meanwhile, I was danging 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.440 Dovito's four until we started doing this segment. Something I'd 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.920 never really thought about is that growing up, I used 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.120 to cop at least once a week from complete strangers. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:50.000 Oh you must be a swimmer. You've got swimmer shoulders. 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.800 And I never really took it as a I never 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.159 really took it as being like super offensive because I 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.760 was a swimmer and I was really broad. But that's 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.119 just like now, as one who's a little bit older, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.600 it's not a compliment either, Like it's not an insult, 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.399 but it's not a compliment. And I just think we 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.919 can't make we shouldn't be passing any comments on people's bodies. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.639 I got exactly the same thing. I was a surfer 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:14.600 and a swimmer, and I'm very broad. You guys know 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.280 that Laura and I are both quite broad. I think 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.720 I'm probably broader than you. Actually, no, no, anyway. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:20.320 I mean we'll measure it out. 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.040 That's not a broad But I used to get it 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.640 all the time too, But unlike you, I was so 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.240 offended by it because I didn't want it. 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.680 I didn't like it. I thought it was unattractive. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:32.679 There was this one time I was in Greece and 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.720 it's like it's ingrained and ascarred me because I was like, yeah, 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.159 my bikini like feeling saucy, feeling confident. 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.600 I was like, you're feeling yourself. I was just like 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:42.359 happy in my skin. 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:43.840 I was on holiday and having a great time and 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.920 I was swimming in the ocean. And he, by no 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.359 means men don't mean a fence by it. Half the 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.119 time they think they're giving you a compliment, but they 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:52.920 don't know that you take offense. And he just came 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:54.679 up to me out of nowhere, looks me up and 0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:57.080 down and goes, look, god, athlete, are you dull? 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.520 And I was like, so squeeze me, so what, Oh, well, 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:02.560 you're obviously an athlete. 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:03.760 Look at the shoulders on you. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:05.960 And I was like, oh my god. 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:07.600 And I was like, well, yeah, okay, I used to 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.760 surf and do hitch sports and then I just ran away. 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:11.960 I like that. He wasn't like, you're a summer, He's like, 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:13.920 what kind of athlete are you? Are you a forward? 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:15.400 Are you a rugbyople? 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:17.639 I don't know, maybe you're a sumo wrestler. Are you 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.359 a goalkeeper? Like that kind of athlete? Let's talk through this. Yeah. 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.040 I was just like, I know, H meant it as 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:25.600 a compliment, but I was very vendans. So I feel 0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:26.960 that this girl's pain. 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.280 A lot of the like I can't believe they said 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.959 that that's come through. A lot of them are pretty 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:34.439 dark and pretty twisted. There's a lot of body shaming 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.320 that happens as well, Like we've had loads sent in. 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:38.880 But you know what, I. 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.040 Think it's the kind of stuff where if you don't laugh, 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.280 you'll cry. And that's the whole reason why we wanted 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.680 to start this segment because I think that there every 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:47.920 single woman out there has experienced a time with something 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.520 totally inappropriate has been said to them. And I think 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.040 that every single person who has written in these sorts 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.280 of stories have done it because they can see the 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.080 humor in it and they're not taking it to a 0:22:57.119 --> 0:22:59.880 fence anymore, and they've overcome this. Even if it hurt 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.320 stung at the time, they can now look back retrospectively 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.760 and be like, that guy's a fuck with and I 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:06.399 am a queen. 0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:07.840 Do you want to know? I don't know if I've 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:09.399 ever said this. I'm gonna give you some inside a 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.399 goss on. The first thing Nick Cummins aka or Badge. 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.800 The first thing he said to me at the cocktail party. 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.360 Right, So we met on the red carpet, and I 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:21.680 was very fit when I was on there. I used 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:23.960 to do I used to love doing weights and stuff, 0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:26.560 and I'm ran every day and did a lot of squats. Anyway, Yeah, 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:27.160 you're in shape. 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.159 I was strong, specifically like I had strong legs. 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:34.160 I went up to him to talk for the very 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:38.600 first time on camera. He grabs I had this thigh 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.920 high dress on, like had this huge wit. He grabs 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.320 my thigh like a friend and starts to wriggle my 0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.840 leg like picture it slaps his hand down and goes. 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:49.600 Would you look at the quads. 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.960 On those you must squat and I died. 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:57.159 I died a slow, horrible death, and I thought that 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:58.919 to me, I'm walking out right now. First thing he 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:02.320 said to me, I know I died, but he was 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:03.840 actually I was like, oh, thank you, and then he 0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:04.320 kept going. 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:05.840 He didn't get it. I was like, thanks, okay, so 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:07.040 like what do you do. 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.200 And he's like no, but really do you squat it? 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.679 He just kept going and I was I just you're like, 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.280 mister honey Badger, I'm not a race horse. I know 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:14.720 that you. 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:16.560 Feel like you're here to pick a winner, but please, 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:18.000 that's what you need to step down. 0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:19.439 Picture me day one from my quad. 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.359 But you know what they say, like, if a race 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.480 horse has good legs on them, they're gonna go far. 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:25.680 You really went far, Bret. 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:28.040 I went as far as humanly possible for the honey Badger. 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.159 That's so intense. I can't believe I've never heard that. 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:34.760 He was bless his soul. I called him out on it, 0:24:34.800 --> 0:24:36.159 like a few weeks later, and he was like, I 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:37.040 didn't know you'd be offended. 0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:38.800 I was giving I thought I was giving you a compliment. 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:40.800 I was like, no, it was no girl, wants you 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.120 to grab her thigh and shake it and say look. 0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:51.080 At the cop on that thank God. All right, all right, guys, 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.840 I think it's time to get into the episode I 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.000 reckon too. That's deep and dive and get right in. 0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.119 So, as Britt said, today we are talk about contraception, 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.280 which I mean, obviously this is such an interesting topic. 0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:06.000 I mean, we talk a lot about relationships, we talk 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.400 a lot about sex, we talk a lot about the 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:11.879 end goal, and not a lot about the protection prior 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.439 to the end goal. So we thought we'd put together 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.560 a list of all the different contraceptions that are available, 0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.439 not all the main contraceptions that are available. Mostly when 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:21.960 I went through my journey, when I was needing to 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.600 use contraception, I don't know if like every option was 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:28.080 really explained to me, the pros, the cons, the side effects, 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:30.920 the benefits. So I think it's really nice to kind 0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.359 of have a place where we're going to talk about IUDs. 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.719 We're going to talk about the difference between having a 0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.640 Marina IUD a copper IUD, the difference between the two 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.040 types of pills that you can be on, the difference 0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:45.000 between what next plan on is, And obviously I mean, 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:46.680 you guys all know what a condom is. We don't 0:25:46.680 --> 0:25:48.760 need to explain that to you. However, I'm sure some of. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.480 You need to be reminded about using them. 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.119 So Britt, tell me about your experience with contraception. I 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:56.560 think that that's a nice way to start if you 0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.439 talk to me about your journey, what you're using, what 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.040 you have tried in the past, what you're currently using 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.320 to protect yourself, and then I can talk about what 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:04.880 mine has been. 0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:05.320 Yeah. 0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.600 So I guess for me and I reckon, you're probably 0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.359 gonna end up being the same because we're the same age. 0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:16.159 I first went to get contraception when I was about sixteen, 0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.480 I'd say, because I had been with a boyfriend. My 0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.560 boyfriend for a year, and my mom sat down and 0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.119 had the conversation with me. She was like, look, if 0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.520 you're even remotely thinking about doing the horizontal dance and love, 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.720 you need to go on contraception because you're not gonna 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.160 have a baby. So we had the chat then, and 0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:34.919 there was never a chat to be honest about what 0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:35.640 to use. 0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:37.120 There was just in my. 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:42.520 Mind it was like, oh, okay, it's time to have sex, let's. 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.360 Go on the pill. There was not options. 0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.760 There weren't discussions about all these things now and nextplan 0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:49.399 on and bars you can get in your arms and 0:26:49.520 --> 0:26:51.639 things you can put in your cervix, and there was 0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:52.200 just nothing. 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:54.400 So I remember we went to the doctor. Mom said, 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:55.880 let's just do it. Even if you don't. You don't 0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:57.960 have to have sex. She's like, it's just that if 0:26:57.960 --> 0:26:59.880 it happens, you're safe. 0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:01.520 And also she's like, I knew you'd been together for 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.400 a year, and you know, little teenagers together for a year, 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:05.240 they get serious. 0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.080 And she was like, I was sixteen once, Brittany, I 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:09.160 see what's going on here. 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:10.639 But yeah, So we went to the doctor and it 0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.680 was literally we went in together, we need to put 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.560 Brittany on the pill. He's like cool. Think he asked 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.240 me like one question, or do my blood pressure? And 0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:18.680 then he put me on the pill and that was it. 0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.040 It was just like that was it. There was no 0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:23.439 deep dive into any thing. There was no discussion about options. 0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.879 And then I have literally been on the pill ever since. 0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:28.400 I'm thirty two and I had been on it since 0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:32.040 about fifteen sixteen, and I've had one break where I 0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:33.679 tried to go on a break from it when I 0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:35.600 went to London, so I went traveling for a few years, 0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:37.200 and I thought, I'm just gonna get my body a break, 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.240 see what happens. And to be honest, it was horrible. 0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:42.680 My skin was breaking out, I was hormonal. I was 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.479 getting depression because my body didn't know how to deal 0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.040 with hormones. So I didn't even I didn't see it through. 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:50.160 I had a lot of friends saying, see it through 0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:52.000 a couple of months and you'll come back on track. 0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:55.520 I had really, really bad pimples, which I never get, 0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:57.919 and then I just thought, I can't deal with it. 0:27:57.800 --> 0:27:58.400 It was too much. 0:27:58.440 --> 0:27:59.679 I want to enjoy my traveling. 0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:01.320 Went back onto the pill. 0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.200 So that was that I don't really have experience in 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:07.320 anything else other than like condoms, which which an added 0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:08.720 effect because not only are they. 0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.640 Birth controlled, but they stop st eyes. 0:28:10.680 --> 0:28:13.000 We'll get into that later, because I think a lot 0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.600 of people forget that other forms of contraception don't actually 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:19.680 stop sties, whereas I mean, even condoms aren't fool proof, 0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.240 but you need to be wearing a condom. But that's 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.520 They're the only two things I've ever tried. So what 0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:25.520 pill were you using, Like, what name of the pill? 0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.000 Because I think that they, especially from our generation, there 0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:29.919 are some pills that are like very well known, like 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.359 your Yasmine, your marvel on. They all had like weird 0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.800 chick names mostly yea, what was the one that you 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:37.840 kind of were on and stuck to. I feel like 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:39.360 I'm going to pronounce this wrong, and you think that 0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:42.600 I would know by now? Microgynum. Never heard of it, 0:28:43.280 --> 0:28:46.680 Never heard of it. It's actually a really really low dose. 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:48.479 So for my whole life, I've been on a low 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:50.760 dose pill. I never I never needed, I never had 0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:55.440 a heavy period. I never had like really bad skin problems. 0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:57.200 So a lot of people often go on the pill 0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.760 early for skin problems to manage hormones. I never had that, 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:01.800 so I I've always been on one of the lightest pills. 0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.240 I have a kind of similar story, I guess. But 0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:07.120 I started the pill when I was fourteen and have 0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.400 used the pill my entire life. I didn't go on 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:12.560 the pill at fourteen because I was sexually active. I 0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:16.040 went on the pill at fourteen because I also, yeah, sorry, 0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.800 mat No, I had really wild skin and I used 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:20.760 to get I used to get really really bad bacni 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:23.840 when I was fourteen, like severe severe bacne. I never 0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.480 had acne on my face or anything, but I was 0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.080 a swimmer. As we've established earlier in the episode, I 0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:32.800 can tell from your physics, and I had a really 0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:34.960 bad bacni and it was something that like really got 0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.280 me down and I was incredibly insecure about. So when 0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.640 I was fourteen or fifteen, I went on the pill 0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:42.160 as a way of controlling my hormones and being able 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.480 to see if that would level out my skin. And 0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:47.520 I was put on a pill called Marvel on twenty 0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.480 eight I think it's called, and I still have. I 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.840 used that all the way up until when I got pregnant, 0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.920 and I guess I never really had any time off it. 0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:58.160 I was like very very consistent with the pill, but 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:04.000 I had a really unique situation in that. So I've 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:07.080 spoken really openly before about how before I had Mali, 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.400 I had a miscarriage, and so when I got pregnant 0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.720 that time I was on the pill. That pregnancy was 0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.240 absolutely not planned. But what happened was is after the 0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.719 show had finished, like after we finished filming The Bachelor 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.160 and after it had been on TV. Because of the 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:26.320 stress of the show and the stress of being in 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:28.760 the public eye and everything that was being written about 0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:31.240 me and the papers, and I felt like I had 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:34.400 no control over my life. I lost a lot of hair, 0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:37.840 like a significant amount of hair just kept on falling 0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.080 out of my head. And I went to a hair 0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:42.840 specialist and I explained what had happened, and they put 0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:46.560 me on this medication, which was a medically prescribed medication. 0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.400 And what I didn't know at the time was that 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:52.920 this medication has an ingredient in it called saw palmetto, 0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:56.440 and saw palmetto is contraindicative to the pill, and so 0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:58.640 you can't take it if you're on the pill. You 0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:01.600 have to use other types of physical barrier contraception like 0:31:01.640 --> 0:31:02.880 condoms or I. 0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:03.720 Don't whatever else. 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.560 You cancel each other out totally. So they totally cancel 0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:08.680 each other out. So I was on the pill and 0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:11.040 I got pregnant, and then that is what kind of 0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:14.160 started my journey with coming off the pill and you know, 0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:18.360 having babies and kind of dabbling in different types of contraception. 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.280 So I obviously got pregnant. 0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:23.760 It was a surprise, like a total surprise, and I 0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.920 obviously went back to that hair specialist and was like, dude, 0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.600 you did this, and he was like, I didn't make you, 0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:31.320 I don't. 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:33.560 Have any hair, and I've got a baby. Something has 0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:35.680 gone wrong. What the hell have you prescribed me? 0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:36.360 Like? 0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:40.040 This shit is wild, it's a baby in a bottle. 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:44.280 And anyway, So basically there was kind of a conversation 0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:47.000 that was missed in in my consultation and he should 0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:48.680 have explained to me that I needed to use other 0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:50.920 types of contraception, but it just it just got lost 0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:55.040 in translation. And that set off our journey because we 0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:57.120 then realized we wanted to have kids. And then I 0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.840 came off the pill, and then obviously Marley happened very quickly. 0:32:00.800 --> 0:32:02.719 I had stopped taking the pill, so I was more 0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:06.200 actively trying. But yeah, so both of our experiences so 0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.360 far have really been just using the pill. I think 0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.440 culturally most Australians like, that's kind of seems to be 0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:16.760 like the cultural contraception that we gravitate towards, especially here. 0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:19.600 So for example, in the States, IUDs and the most 0:32:19.600 --> 0:32:23.040 commonly used form of contraception, they are equivalent to condoms, 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:25.920 that's how commonly that they're used, whereas here in Australia 0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.680 we're still very much pill orientated. But what a lot 0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.160 of people probably don't know is that there's two types 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.960 of pills. Now, the pill that's the most commonly used 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:37.000 pill is the combination pill, so that's the one that 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:39.840 I think majority of people would use. And what that 0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:43.040 combination pill has is that it has a thing called 0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:47.000 progesterone and it also has another thing in it called estrogen. 0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:50.440 So the combination pill actually works by stopping the ovaries 0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.280 from releasing an egg each month, and that's why you 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.360 don't actually get a period when you're on the pill. 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:58.320 You get this artificial period. But what it also does 0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.880 as a secondary form is that it thickens the fluid 0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.280 around the cervex and it prevents the sperm from being 0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:05.200 able to actually enter the cervex as well, So it 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.960 kind of has a dual mechanism to stop you from 0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:11.440 getting pregnant. And when used effectively, which means that you're 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.840 taking the pill at the same time every day, it's 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:18.320 ninety nine percent effective. But obviously if you forget the pill, 0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:20.160 or you don't take it on time, or you're just 0:33:20.200 --> 0:33:24.200 a little bit haphazard with it, then that efficacy dramatically decreases. 0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.280 Yeah, so this is true. 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.080 You do really, really really need to take it at 0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:29.720 the right time, and if you do, it is ninety 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:34.880 nine percent effective, but about one in ten, so nine 0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:38.040 percent of people one in nine, one in ten taking 0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.160 a pill can still fall pregnant. But this is usually 0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.480 because they're not taking it at the same time, so 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.120 they just haven't been regular with it, or they've had 0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:48.719 extreme vomiting or diarrhea around the time they're taking it. 0:33:48.760 --> 0:33:52.160 And I think, to be honest, I hadn't really thought 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.200 much about that until I started to read it again, 0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.160 and I thought, that makes so much sense, Like if 0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:58.760 you have severe diarrhea or vomiting when you're taking it, 0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:00.400 of course it's not going to be absorbed, and of 0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:01.960 course it's not going to work. So that is just 0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:03.600 something's keeping the back of your mind as well. 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.160 But I think also on that when you think about 0:34:06.200 --> 0:34:09.600 you know, ninety nine percent sounds so it sounds so effective. 0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:13.040 It really does. But if you if you've been using 0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.560 the pill for ten years and you think that that's 0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:19.200 you know, twelve periods a year over ten years, then 0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:22.720 statistically over that ten year period, there's still a really 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:24.960 good chance that you could be that one percent that 0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:27.560 gets pregnant. So I think that there are still a 0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.839 lot of people who fell pregnant when they're using the pill, 0:34:30.880 --> 0:34:33.000 and maybe they feel as though they're doing everything by 0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:34.880 the book and it comes as a true surprise to 0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:38.560 them that statistically that's not an anomaly, like it's not 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:41.239 one hundred percent full proof, and obviously nothing is. But 0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.000 we can just do our best to try and safeguard 0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:45.440 ourselves as best as possible, and a lot of people 0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:45.960 do that. 0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:47.319 A lot of people are like, I can't be on 0:34:47.360 --> 0:34:50.120 the pill because I always forget to take it or 0:34:50.920 --> 0:34:51.560 whatever else. 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:52.799 They're not gonna be regular with it. 0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:56.759 But for me personally my experience, I just started doing 0:34:56.760 --> 0:34:58.759 it at such a young age, and I was so 0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.400 bur dantic about it at a young age because obviously 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:03.640 that was just not on my radar that I have 0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:08.279 just never in fifteen years, never missed it, never forgotten it, 0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.280 never do anything because it's literally my routine. It's always 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.160 in my handbag. And this is what I recommend, like 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:14.879 if you're younger and thinking of going on the pill, 0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:17.640 if you're a younger listener, I just carried my handbag 0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:19.400 and I take it in the morning. So for me 0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:23.280 about eight am is a normal time because I'm always 0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.320 around at that time, even if I'm at work already, 0:35:25.360 --> 0:35:27.080 I still have my handbag and I just do it. 0:35:27.080 --> 0:35:29.920 It's always there. You're like breakfast and no babies. 0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:32.440 Absolutely breakfast and no babies. It's my life motto. 0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.640 Something that I find really interesting about the pill though, 0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:38.840 So like I think we often talk about when we 0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.480 talk about contraception, we talk about all the different types 0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:44.640 of side effects that can coincide with taking contraception. And 0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:48.720 you know, each different type of contraception has a different, happy, 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:51.719 little mixed bag of side effects. 0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:54.879 But something that we don't really talk about, I guess 0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.760 because side effects is kind of seemed like it's deemed 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.680 as a negative. We don't always talk about how the 0:36:00.680 --> 0:36:03.360 pill actually it came astered a lot of negative side effects. So, 0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:06.080 for example, people take the pill for loads of reasons. 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:07.879 Like I said, I started taking it because I had 0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:11.040 really bad hormonal bacne, I guess we'll call it. And 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:14.759 then some people take it because they get extremely heavy periods. 0:36:15.120 --> 0:36:17.640 Other people take it because it helps to regulate their 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.239 flow if their periods are very irregular. 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:23.200 And like really bad period pain and pre menstrual symptoms. 0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:27.200 Yeah, there's loads of reasons that actually are beneficial reasons 0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:30.440 for taking the pill. I do also think that like 0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:32.839 when people who have taken the pill to try and 0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:36.160 resolve an issue. So if you're taking a pill because 0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:38.000 you're trying to resolve the fact that you have really 0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:41.799 heavy period cramps, or because you get migraines when you 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:44.399 have a period, whatever the reasons are. If you're then 0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.440 on the pill for ten years or fifteen years and 0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:49.239 you come off the pill, those issues that you were 0:36:49.280 --> 0:36:51.960 dealing with earlier on that the pill has must for 0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:54.160 all those years are still going to be there. So 0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:57.720 there's often this feeling that like the pill has caused 0:36:57.800 --> 0:36:59.839 these issues. But from all the research that we've done 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:03.480 really read up on this topic, it seems that it's 0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:05.920 not that the pill is necessarily causing these adverse long 0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:08.640 term side effects. It's that the pill has masked them 0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:11.359 for so long that you think that that was your 0:37:11.400 --> 0:37:13.840 body at normal, and then you have these side effects 0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.319 from coming off the pill, But really it's just your 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.880 body going back to what it normally is like and 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.040 the pill has been masking those things for so long. 0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.399 Speaking of going off the pill, I have a friend 0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:25.160 that's been on a pill like, you know, I just 0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:26.959 grew up with her. So she's been on the level 0:37:27.160 --> 0:37:29.200 this same amount of time. I've been on fifteen years. 0:37:29.640 --> 0:37:32.080 She recently went off because she's like, okay, cool, I'm 0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:35.880 gonna start trying to have a baby. She said that 0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.839 her sex drive, like her libido, has increased dramatically since 0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.760 going off, and she said, I've never I've never known 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.480 that it was reduced because my whole life this is 0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:48.200 what it's been. But she said it was very, very, 0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:50.799 very noticeable. So I think that's really intriguing. I have 0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:52.520 been on so long too, I don't I've probably be 0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:52.960 an animal. 0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:56.040 May you be a sex demon? You don't never get 0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:56.799 this podcast done. 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:58.920 Brittany is too busy in a couple of stirrups and 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:02.160 some wall straps who dominatrix. 0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:04.960 Holy, I don't know where do you come off the pill? 0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:06.520 You know, I'm not. 0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:10.800 Oh my god, that just reminded me this is totally 0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.600 off peace. But I got a I got a message 0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:16.720 sent to us on like the on the Facebook group. 0:38:17.040 --> 0:38:19.439 A girl had sent me a message and she was like, hey, 0:38:19.680 --> 0:38:21.839 so my mom. It was it was like a very 0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.319 rogue accidentally unfiltered. And she's like, hey, so my mom 0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:27.120 just slept over last night, and then she sent me 0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:28.160 a photo of her bed. 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.040 But what she'd forgotten. 0:38:29.640 --> 0:38:32.439 To do was take down her arm straps that she'd 0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:34.920 put up with her boyfriend, and her mom had slept 0:38:34.920 --> 0:38:37.200 in the bed. Next to the bed, there were two 0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.920 rope tied to the bed still, and her mom had 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.400 just never seen anything, gone to sleep, pretended like it 0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:47.840 didn't happen. They were read with like love hearts and 0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:49.600 stuff on them, but they were full on ropes. 0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:52.920 It was amazing, and he's so embarrassed her. 0:38:53.840 --> 0:38:56.080 Back to the topic of contraception, though, that was a 0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:58.319 little bit ran So there is another type of pill 0:38:58.360 --> 0:39:01.440 which I think is far less common spoken about, and 0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:04.279 that is the progesterone only pill. And now I only 0:39:04.400 --> 0:39:07.840 learned about the progesterone pill when I was breastfeeding, because 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.560 when you are breastfeeding, you can't take a pill that 0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.600 has estrogen in it, because that just MUCKs up with 0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.400 your hormones, it MUCKs up with your milk supply. But 0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.319 you probably also don't want to be pregnant when you're 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:21.400 still breastfeeding, because that's crazy, that's crazy, that's wild stuff. 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:23.759 And so I was put on this thing called the 0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:26.520 progesterone pill. It's also known as the mini pill, and 0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:28.719 the mini pill is a form of oral contraception that 0:39:28.760 --> 0:39:31.359 you have to take every day. You have to take 0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.200 it at the exact same time for it to be effective. 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.600 It can't you don't have a few hours windows. It's 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:39.640 really got to be to the same hour. And it 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:43.080 contains a very very small amount of progesterone, which is 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:45.919 a hormone that also works in a very similar way 0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:49.759 to the combination pill. It works by thickening the mucus 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.920 of your cervex and it stops the sperm from penetrating 0:39:52.960 --> 0:39:56.480 into your uterus. This is all very technical, and that 0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:58.760 is what stops you from getting pregnant. But the added 0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:02.680 estrogen in the combination that also stops like bleeding, and 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:06.680 it stops you from having irregular bleeding. So often people 0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:08.959 who are taking the progesterone only pill or the Mini 0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:12.200 pill have a lot of breakthrough bleeding and they'll have 0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:15.839 very irregular periods. It's not as stable, i think as 0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.680 the combination pill. And that's definitely what I found when 0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:19.359 I was taking it. 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:22.240 Yeah, and it's the same statistics actually as the pill 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:25.080 in terms of one in nine women can still fall 0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:28.440 pregnant on it. It's just that, whilst the statistics are 0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:32.160 still the same, easier to fall pregnant on the mini 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:35.000 pill because your window is smaller of when you have 0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:36.560 to take it. So does that make sense to you 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.560 guys are following me. Just with a normal pill, you 0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:42.120 have a little bit more leeway if you're like, oh shit, 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:44.480 just three hours ago whatever, I was supposed to take 0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:46.560 a pill. It's okay because you've got that leeway. With 0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.520 a mini pill, you need to be taking it within 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:50.400 a one one and a half hour sort of window, 0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:51.640 Like you just need to be a bit more on it, 0:40:51.680 --> 0:40:54.520 which is why it's still one in nine can fall pregnant, 0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:57.120 but more people end up doing it because they're just 0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:57.760 more forgetful. 0:40:57.880 --> 0:40:59.520 Yeah, there's just more room for error, right. 0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:01.960 A dark omen of being on the pill is that 0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.320 there is always this chance that you're going to forget 0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.760 the pill. And I guess that's why we have backup 0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:10.400 and emergency contraception like the Morning After pill, which you 0:41:10.440 --> 0:41:12.920 know it is one hundred percent only supposed to be 0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:17.000 an emergency contraception, and it's more effective the earlier you 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:18.280 take it. After having sex. 0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:20.720 However, I do think there are a lot of people 0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.200 out there who take it more on the regularly as 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.040 like a oh, whoops, got to take that again. Why 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:28.799 it's only considered an emergency is because it's way less 0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:31.960 effective than taking a pill or using other forms of contraception, 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:33.879 which have like a ninety nine to a ninety nine 0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:37.480 point nine percent effectiveness. So the morning after pill, for example, 0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:40.360 if it's taken within seventy two hours after you've had 0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:44.359 unprotected sex, then the risk of pregnancy is reduced by 0:41:44.400 --> 0:41:48.279 eighty seven percent. So there's still a percentage there that's 0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:49.600 a wild gamble that. 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:51.320 I mean, if you really don't want to have a baby, 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:53.560 idan't want to be risking thirteen percent. 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:54.520 Of my life on that. 0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:57.680 So that is why you know, they really talk about 0:41:57.719 --> 0:42:00.680 it as your absolute plan be to contraception, because it's not. 0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:03.359 It's nowhere near as effective as all of the other 0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.480 choices that you have and the choices that you can 0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:08.320 make around contraception. And you know the reason why we 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.080 wanted to do this episode is because your only option 0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:14.120 isn't the pill. There are other options, and they have 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.719 some of the hormonal based and some of them are 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.800 more physical implantation based, and that's why we thought we 0:42:20.840 --> 0:42:22.839 would just unpack what these are. The next one we're 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:25.480 going to get into is what was called when I 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.759 was growing up, implan On, but now it's been renamed. 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.880 It's exactly the same mechanism, but it's called nextplan On. 0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.040 So I think for anyone in their thirties who hasn't 0:42:35.120 --> 0:42:37.560 used it but remembers it, then you know you'll know 0:42:37.640 --> 0:42:39.000 implan on and know what we're talking about. 0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:40.719 You guys will know if you haven't used this. 0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:44.480 That little bar, it's like three centimeters two centimeters. It 0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:47.120 goes just under the skin on the inside of your arm. 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:47.399 There. 0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:50.120 You literally go to the doctor, they make a little incision, 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.880 they insert the bar, they sew you up. It's minimal. 0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.239 It's radio opaque, so you can see it on X rays. 0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:59.959 You can feel it so small. But essentially just really 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:04.000 the hormones. And the benefit of implan On, slash and 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.839 exploit On is that you only have to get it 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:11.560 changed and updated every three years, so it's almost full proof. 0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:13.399 It's not you're trying to remember to take appeal every 0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.520 single day you put it in. You forget about it 0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:17.440 for three years. Three years later, you get a letter 0:43:17.480 --> 0:43:20.080 from your doctor, but you should probably mark it down 0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:21.960 your diary as well that you need to change and 0:43:22.000 --> 0:43:23.759 then you literally go in, they take it out and 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:26.319 they put another one in. So obviously, Laura, you and 0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:28.440 I have only ever really used the pill. We've never 0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:31.960 tried an implan on. So when we were going to 0:43:32.040 --> 0:43:34.880 discuss the implan on, the first person that came to 0:43:34.960 --> 0:43:38.239 mind was a very special person in my life who 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:40.680 I thought, who better to come on and talk about 0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:42.600 their contraceptive journey. 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:48.640 Then my sister shown we have a cameo. Guess. Hi, guys, 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:50.640 welcome to my bedroom, I mean the studio. 0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:53.360 Hi, Sherry, what do you think of out studio renovation? 0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:56.360 I really love the addition of the gold guys. Thank you. 0:43:56.400 --> 0:43:58.040 What about the photo that we have of ourselves on 0:43:58.080 --> 0:43:58.439 the wall? 0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:00.800 At least three million photo? 0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:01.279 Thank you? 0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:03.440 And next week will be a three million photo, don't 0:44:03.480 --> 0:44:05.279 you worry. We also have a coffee munk that has 0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:07.399 a picture of ourselves carrying two million. 0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:09.240 I mean, you're really staying Trap brand. 0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:12.000 Little bit of vanity may have gone into that, but anyways, 0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:14.120 the reason why you're here is because, like brit said, 0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.960 we don't have experience with Implanon or Nextplanon, and obviously, 0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:21.440 like your experience is going to be isolated to your experience, 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:25.840 but brit mentioned that she had a lot of troubles yeah, 0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:27.640 and that it was something that really affected you, and 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:30.720 so we wanted to better understand what your contraceptive journey 0:44:30.840 --> 0:44:32.439 was and how you ended. 0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:35.480 Up making the decision to use Implanon for sure. So 0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:38.840 obviously I can only speak to my own experiences. But 0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:41.200 I decided to go on the pill when I was 0:44:41.239 --> 0:44:45.719 sixteen because I wanted to have sex with my boyfriend. Yeah, 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:47.480 so my mum took me to the doctor to go 0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:49.200 on the pill when I was sixteen. Shout out to 0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:51.120 mum for mma hawk, for being responsible. 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.640 Should we just quickly ask what was that conversation like 0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:55.680 for you, like when you went to mum and said 0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:56.239 you want to have sex? 0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:57.600 Because I remember what it was like for me. 0:44:58.280 --> 0:44:59.480 It was it was awkward. 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:03.080 I did say, Mom, I think I think it's time 0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:05.279 to go on the pill. It's time for me and 0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:08.640 leap to do it. I'm not gonna say it is 0:45:08.760 --> 0:45:11.560 naming case. He listens today, I reckon, he's like an 0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:14.200 avid listener of life. On card. I mean, you don't know, 0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:18.040 do you, but his current girlfriend maybe so okay, all right, 0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:19.200 well we'll keep him anonymous. 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.640 Had the conversation with your mum, ended up at the doctors, 0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:23.880 went on the pill. Took me through that. 0:45:24.080 --> 0:45:26.560 So I was on the pill for maybe a good 0:45:26.680 --> 0:45:30.520 year two years, and then on one visit to the doctor, 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:32.720 they told me that I had really high blood pressure, 0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.880 like just have a stroke kind of high, which was 0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:39.120 concerning for my age at eighteen. So if you don't know, 0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:41.080 your blood pressure is supposed to sit at about one 0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.960 twenty on eighty, which is a healthy range, and mine 0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.319 was about one point eighty on one hundred and ten. 0:45:46.640 --> 0:45:48.400 So I don't know what that means, but that sounds 0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:49.240 very high. 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:53.560 I think that's when you would do this. No, that's 0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:56.360 extremely high. That is the level that you sort of panic. 0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:59.160 And I remember they sent you straight to the hospital 0:45:59.200 --> 0:46:00.919 for a test because they were like, you you're gonna 0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:03.400 have a stroke, like something is severely wrong with you. 0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:04.640 Go to the hospital immediately. 0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:06.920 And just a question, did they think that this was 0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:10.600 a result of using contraception or was this just your 0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:13.600 body of itself was very high, Like you had very 0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:17.080 high blood pressure or did they think it was a 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.279 side effect of the pill? Right, So at this point 0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:21.239 they didn't really know, so that's why they sent me 0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:22.839 up to the hospital for lots of investigation. 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:25.719 So I had like c TE scans. I did a 0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.200 twenty four hour urine test, which is exactly what it 0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:30.560 sounds like. Yere we for twenty four hours. They give 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:33.480 you a four liter apple juice bottle and you just 0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:36.080 do away into that for twenty four hours and then 0:46:36.120 --> 0:46:38.840 they test it for a bunch of things. Wow, that 0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.400 was fun. I also did a twenty four hour blood 0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:45.319 pressure monitor, so it takes your blood pressure at like 0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:48.040 intervals throughout the day. And I do remember I was 0:46:48.080 --> 0:46:50.960 having sex with my boyfriend when my blood pressure comes 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.799 decided to go up. So, needless to say, that was 0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:55.040 a high reading. 0:46:55.360 --> 0:46:58.799 When you when your doctor was reading the results, did 0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:00.480 he ask you if you remember what you were doing 0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:01.240 when it peaked? 0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:03.640 Yeah? No, I think I like straight up told him. 0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:05.120 Was he like, were you going for a run right 0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:07.200 now or were you doing a doggie style? Because it 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.719 could be interchangeable with these two, Like. 0:47:09.680 --> 0:47:12.280 I sense an increased heart rate, have you been getting freaky? 0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:14.440 Were you running your dog or doing doggie. 0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:17.440 Then you had to come off. Obviously you had to 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.279 come off using the pill. They took me off the 0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:22.160 peil decided to put me on the implan On which 0:47:22.200 --> 0:47:25.040 is now then explan On, just because that is the 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.719 progesterone only, so they were thinking that the estrogen is 0:47:28.760 --> 0:47:31.640 what was leading to the high blood pressure. So I 0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:34.160 actually had a good experience with the implan On for 0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:36.440 a really long time. So for eight years it was 0:47:36.480 --> 0:47:38.839 a dream for me. I didn't get my period at all. 0:47:39.400 --> 0:47:41.439 Can you leave the implan on in for eight years 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.680 or do you have to get it changed? So you 0:47:43.719 --> 0:47:45.880 do need to change it every three years, so it 0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.319 lasts completely. You're completely covered for three years and then 0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:51.880 you need to replace it. And what does replace in 0:47:51.960 --> 0:47:53.880 it entail? Like, what do you actually have to do? 0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:56.239 Will you go to the doctor They slice your arm 0:47:56.320 --> 0:48:00.680 open and they insert it like a little matchtick rod into. 0:48:00.480 --> 0:48:02.239 Your arm and feel it under the skin, can't you? 0:48:02.320 --> 0:48:04.160 Yeah, so you can. You can feel it if you 0:48:04.200 --> 0:48:06.319 like rub the inside of your arm, you should be 0:48:06.840 --> 0:48:09.280 like definitely be able to feel it. If you can't, 0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:09.919 it's too deep. 0:48:10.000 --> 0:48:12.000 The only reason why I remember this is like I 0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:13.960 never had it myself, but a good girlfriend of mine 0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:16.319 in school had it, and you could feel it this 0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:20.080 like little hard rod sitting right inside, just like next 0:48:20.080 --> 0:48:22.120 to the bicep. And so you have to get that 0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:23.200 changed every three years. 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:26.200 Yep, every three So they make a little incision and 0:48:26.280 --> 0:48:28.440 they basically pull it out of the soft tissue in 0:48:28.480 --> 0:48:30.560 your arm and then they can replace it. Like, so 0:48:30.600 --> 0:48:32.319 you said you had a really good experience with it 0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:35.480 for eight years, what changed, Like, what was the moment 0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:38.640 where that went downhill? So yeah, everything was hunky dory 0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:40.919 for eight years, and then on that eight year mark, 0:48:40.960 --> 0:48:44.279 it just went downhill and I just started bleeding constantly. 0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:46.360 And then my doctor and I went through the process 0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:49.680 of removing it and putting in a new one, thinking 0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:52.520 that would rectify it. And then I just bled constantly 0:48:52.680 --> 0:48:54.680 for nine months. So I know, you guys know that 0:48:54.719 --> 0:48:57.200 you need to let your cycle settle. So you've got 0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:59.200 to give things a good few months for things to 0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:02.480 settle down, and they just never did. And yeah, so 0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:04.560 I just had like Shark Week twenty four to seven 0:49:04.600 --> 0:49:09.360 for nine months. My boyfriend Jay actually called it the 0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:14.279 thousand year flood that we all survive. He's the real 0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:16.680 MVP shout out to you, babe. So then when you 0:49:16.719 --> 0:49:19.600 had it removed, what happened, Like, how did that change 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:23.520 your cycle? So as in the process of removing it, 0:49:23.880 --> 0:49:26.560 in the weeks leading up, I did suffer really low mood, 0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:30.600 so like a bit of like borderline depression and a 0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:34.120 really low sex drive, which is really unusual for me. 0:49:34.280 --> 0:49:36.160 Sorry Mum and Dad. Oh wa, God, I'd go for it. 0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:39.000 I love that mister Hockley listens to shout. 0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:42.960 Usually me though. Yeah, super low sex drive and super 0:49:43.000 --> 0:49:45.840 low mood in the months leading up to having it removed, 0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:48.360 So that was definitely a reason that I wanted to 0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:49.040 have it removed. 0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:52.200 And then I went back on the pill. And so 0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:54.799 you've been using the pill ever since? Yeah, so did 0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:57.000 it affect your blood pressure again? Like, are you now 0:49:57.080 --> 0:49:59.680 at a point where your blood pressure stabilized that you're 0:49:59.719 --> 0:50:01.799 able to use the pill without it? You know, this 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:04.080 chance of stroke or without it being a risk for you. 0:50:04.480 --> 0:50:07.440 Right, So my blood pressure is still quite high and 0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:09.920 I have seen many specialists about this and they have 0:50:10.000 --> 0:50:13.440 determined that I am just a hypertensive person. So it's 0:50:13.480 --> 0:50:16.279 something I need to monitor basically forever, especially when I 0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:20.000 get pregnant. You know, I'm at risk of preclamsier, so 0:50:20.080 --> 0:50:23.560 I'm monitor my blood pressure through food and exercise. I'm 0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:25.799 a nutritionist, so I try and be super healthy. I 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:27.960 try and work out a lot. I have been cleared 0:50:28.040 --> 0:50:29.920 again to go back on the oral contraception. 0:50:30.440 --> 0:50:33.040 I guess this is why it's so important that you do, 0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:34.680 if you're thinking about it, you do go and speak 0:50:34.719 --> 0:50:36.919 to your doctor properly, because if you don't, you don't 0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:39.000 know that these things can happen. You don't know the 0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:42.560 risks associated with it. You don't know if you're actually 0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:45.080 compatible with a certain type of contraception or a certain 0:50:45.120 --> 0:50:47.960 type of medication. So I guess this is point in 0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:50.279 turn that you absolutely have to go and speak to 0:50:50.520 --> 0:50:53.080 a medical professional before you go and make any decisions. 0:50:53.320 --> 0:50:55.440 And like we said earlier, and you also said, Shery, 0:50:55.480 --> 0:50:58.160 like this is your experience of something, and it's it's 0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:00.680 pretty incredible that you can be using a drug, or 0:51:00.680 --> 0:51:03.520 you can be using contraceptive method for so many years 0:51:03.920 --> 0:51:06.160 and then all of a sudden it just doesn't work 0:51:06.160 --> 0:51:08.640 for you anymore. For whatever reason. Your body's like, this 0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:10.600 is not the time, we are not doing this anything, 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:13.360 not like this anymore yeah, I am gonna unsubscribe from you, 0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:15.640 and then you have to look at other alternatives. And 0:51:15.640 --> 0:51:17.759 I think like, there is always other alternatives that you 0:51:17.800 --> 0:51:21.440 can use, and there are so many options available, but 0:51:21.560 --> 0:51:24.880 maybe all those options aren't discussed on first consultation, or 0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:26.560 maybe we don't know what the best options are for 0:51:26.680 --> 0:51:29.120 us straight away without trialing a few different things and 0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:31.279 seeing how our body reacts and what works for us 0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:32.080 one hundred percent. 0:51:32.120 --> 0:51:34.479 And you definitely change as you get older as well, 0:51:34.560 --> 0:51:37.000 so your hormones do change throughout your twenties and then 0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:40.239 into your thirties. So I think it's a case of, yeah, 0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.640 I was coming into my late twenties and body just went, no, 0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:46.680 I'm not doing this anymore. I'm just gonna bleed constantly. 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.279 Have you got back on track now, do you think? So? 0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.120 The thousand year flood wasn't a heavy period. It was 0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:55.080 just constant so I needed to use like quite a 0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:59.080 heavy lineup every single day. And then now I am 0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:02.919 back to super regular periods. I never suffered really bad 0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:05.400 periods or really heavy periods as a teenager, so that 0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:07.959 was never an issue. And now that I'm on the pill, 0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:11.200 everything is completely normal. Mood is normal sex drive is 0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:12.320 above normal. 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:15.799 I was just about to say that I've been on 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:16.799 some trips with you guys. 0:52:16.880 --> 0:52:18.840 I know where it's at. Do not hold that. 0:52:19.600 --> 0:52:22.280 But also I guess like maybe this is like your repentance, 0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:24.600 Like you didn't get a period for eight years and 0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:26.839 then your body was like, I'm gonna give you fucking 0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:27.640 eight months of this. 0:52:27.880 --> 0:52:29.680 You deserve this, you know. I used to be so 0:52:29.719 --> 0:52:31.880 smug too to my friends. I was like, Oh, I 0:52:31.920 --> 0:52:33.880 forget what it feels like to even have a period, 0:52:33.960 --> 0:52:36.720 and then bear is a bitch. 0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:39.960 Sherry, thanks so much for helping us and like coming 0:52:40.000 --> 0:52:42.560 on here and sharing your experience, because honestly, when we 0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:45.560 were talking about doing this episode, we were thinking, like, well, 0:52:45.560 --> 0:52:48.600 our experience with contraception is only limited to what we've 0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.200 tried and what's worked for us. But obviously there's so 0:52:51.239 --> 0:52:53.160 many people out there who had their stories of what 0:52:53.280 --> 0:52:56.160 works and what doesn't work, and so it's nice to hear, 0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:59.080 even if that is like a little bit traumatic, or 0:52:59.080 --> 0:53:01.040 if it hasn't worked out, it's nice to hear another 0:53:01.160 --> 0:53:02.880 version of someone's story. 0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:04.880 Of course, I have one last question. 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:09.040 I remember that when you came off when you had 0:53:09.040 --> 0:53:10.960 the implan On out there was a period that you 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:12.840 couldn't go back on the pill for a while, and 0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:15.400 I remember you were just using condoms. So you've done condoms, 0:53:15.400 --> 0:53:17.840 you've done implan On, and you have done the pill. 0:53:18.840 --> 0:53:21.480 What have you just found was the easiest? What did 0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:23.400 you find was the easiest all things aside apart from 0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:25.600 the thousand of your flood, Just like in general forms 0:53:25.640 --> 0:53:27.399 of in terms of contraception. 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:30.719 I think that the implan on was the best for 0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:33.480 me if it works for you. So if you can 0:53:33.520 --> 0:53:35.640 find that that works really well, then it is one 0:53:35.719 --> 0:53:38.600 hundred percent the best because it's you know, it's thirty dollars, 0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:40.840 it lasts for three years, you don't have to remember 0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:43.520 to take anything. But there is a high percentage of 0:53:43.560 --> 0:53:46.239 people where they do just bleed either constantly or they 0:53:46.239 --> 0:53:48.640 have really irregular period. So it is just a matter 0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:51.560 of finding what works for you. So I yeah, like 0:53:51.560 --> 0:53:53.759 like you said, Britt, I've done the pill condoms. I've 0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:56.839 done the mini pill as well, which also doesn't work 0:53:56.880 --> 0:54:00.279 for me. I also just bleed constantly on that. So yeah, 0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:02.160 just like speak to doctor and try new things and 0:54:02.200 --> 0:54:03.319 find out what works for you. 0:54:03.480 --> 0:54:06.520 In addition to like having abnormal bleeding, which can happen 0:54:06.560 --> 0:54:10.600 with this Next Planon implantation. People who use Nextplanon have 0:54:10.719 --> 0:54:15.880 also reported different side effects, which are things like headaches, vaginitis, 0:54:15.960 --> 0:54:18.959 which is an inflammation of the vagina, so it sounds 0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:23.239 pretty painful, weight gain, acne, breast pain, viral infections such 0:54:23.280 --> 0:54:26.280 as a sore throat or a flu, lac symptoms, stomach pains, 0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:29.600 painful periods, moodswings. There is loads of different types of 0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.640 side effects. But the idea is that you're never going 0:54:32.719 --> 0:54:35.319 to know how a contraception is going to work for 0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:37.319 you until you've tried it for a period of time, 0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:40.280 whether it be three months minimum, to give your body 0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:42.560 that time to adjust and to figure out if something 0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:44.360 is right for you and if something works for you. 0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:46.960 And so I think for some people, Next Planon is 0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:50.719 probably a perfect choice if they don't trust themselves with 0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:53.000 taking a pill, or they don't want to have something 0:54:53.000 --> 0:54:55.080 inserted into their uterus, which is like what we're going 0:54:55.080 --> 0:54:56.560 to get into next, which is an IUD. 0:54:57.000 --> 0:54:59.040 Speaking of IUDs, we should probably talk. 0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.200 I feel like we're doing this in order of popularity, 0:55:01.280 --> 0:55:04.360 Like for Australians, I think the pills first and I 0:55:04.400 --> 0:55:07.480 think it's an explan on and then I think it 0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:10.280 is iud's which is an inter uterine device. 0:55:10.600 --> 0:55:13.000 So just going to jump in here because what I 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:16.480 think is so crazy interesting is that in doing research 0:55:16.520 --> 0:55:19.359 for this, IUDs are at the bottom of the list 0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:23.120 for Australia. They're not something that's very commonly used or 0:55:23.160 --> 0:55:26.480 something that's even very commonly talked about. However, that the 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:30.200 practice of using IUDs is increasing. It's also considered to 0:55:30.239 --> 0:55:33.480 be the gold standard of contraception because it is the 0:55:33.560 --> 0:55:38.360 most effective with the most minimal side effects for majority people. However, 0:55:38.640 --> 0:55:41.839 I think in Australia culturally we're still encouraged to use 0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.239 the pill because it's just kind of what everyone does. 0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:46.919 It's what everyone's friends talk about, it's what our parents did. 0:55:47.600 --> 0:55:50.040 And the interesting thing to me is that in the 0:55:50.120 --> 0:55:55.239 States IUDs are equivalent and used as frequently as condoms. 0:55:55.320 --> 0:55:57.680 That's how much they're the preferred use of contraception in 0:55:57.719 --> 0:56:00.799 the States, whereas like here, it's it's one hundred percent, 0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:02.680 hands down the pill. But it's interesting to see how 0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:06.120 that is shifting. Something that I think may have created 0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:09.680 some stigma around using it is that during the nineteen 0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.120 seventies and the nineteen eighties, which was the first time 0:56:12.120 --> 0:56:16.000 that the IUD actually came out. There was this company 0:56:16.040 --> 0:56:19.520 called Dark and Shield and they were the first creators 0:56:19.560 --> 0:56:23.600 of the IUD. However, their device caused an array of 0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:26.719 really serious injuries. There were women who had had this 0:56:26.800 --> 0:56:30.719 device fitted and they came out with pelvic infections, in fertility, 0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:34.120 unintended pregnancies, and there are actually some women who died 0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:36.960 from it. And so this company ended up getting. 0:56:36.760 --> 0:56:40.160 The absolute pants suit off them, which you would expect, 0:56:40.239 --> 0:56:43.200 but it also put a lot of doubt and a 0:56:43.239 --> 0:56:47.799 lot of controversy around using IUDs, which over the next 0:56:47.840 --> 0:56:51.120 forty years, obviously that has started to change and you know, 0:56:51.200 --> 0:56:53.520 people are much more accepting of it, and it's considered 0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:55.879 the role's royce of contraception. 0:56:56.000 --> 0:56:59.000 Now, well, yeah, like you just said, it's not like 0:56:59.160 --> 0:57:01.479 it's actually last up to five years and it's ninety 0:57:01.560 --> 0:57:03.839 nine percent effective, so we should be using it, but 0:57:03.880 --> 0:57:05.880 we just don't know about it because none of us 0:57:05.960 --> 0:57:07.400 use it, so we don't tell our friends about it, 0:57:07.440 --> 0:57:10.240 and it's just not spoken about. But with a ninety 0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:13.840 nine percent effectiveness and five years, it's definitely something we 0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:14.520 should look at. 0:57:14.640 --> 0:57:17.280 So if you don't know what these IUDs are, there 0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:19.320 are two types. Google what they look like. 0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:21.840 They're like these little T shaped plastic things. They're inserted 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:22.520 into the uterus. 0:57:22.560 --> 0:57:25.000 It looks like a little anchor, like a hook anchor 0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:27.840 or like a fish hook. It actually that's what it is. 0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:30.680 It looks like you're eficient in the womb, but not 0:57:30.720 --> 0:57:34.280 a sperm. But basically there are two types. One is 0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:36.600 hormonal base and the other one is a copper a 0:57:36.680 --> 0:57:39.840 copper base, and it doesn't release hormones at all. It 0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:41.920 just sort of acts as a barrier. So they're two 0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:45.440 important differences. One's hormonal and one is not. One is 0:57:45.480 --> 0:57:47.120 copper and one is plastic. 0:57:47.000 --> 0:57:49.680 Copper IUD and the other one is called the marina. 0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:51.640 Yeah commonly not. Its has a few names, but we 0:57:51.680 --> 0:57:53.200 would know it as a marina. You guys would all 0:57:53.200 --> 0:57:56.000 know it as a marina. They insert it into your 0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:58.320 uterus and it releases the hormone. 0:57:58.560 --> 0:58:00.400 I have spoken to a couple of women who've had 0:58:00.400 --> 0:58:03.160 it inserted. It needs to be done under general anesthetic. 0:58:03.160 --> 0:58:04.720 I mean I had a girlfriend who had it inserted 0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:06.160 after she had a baby, and she had to have 0:58:06.200 --> 0:58:08.400 it done in hospital and I think a lot of 0:58:08.440 --> 0:58:12.000 people can find the insertion process pretty painful, and it 0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:14.160 can be painful for a couple of days after having 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:18.040 it inserted. However, once it's in place and once everything 0:58:18.080 --> 0:58:20.160 has healed, you can't feel it. 0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:21.040 You don't know what's there. 0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:24.840 You can have sex and it's like never gonna move apparently, 0:58:25.320 --> 0:58:26.280 but then brit you. 0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.760 Tell me that it can move. Yees. 0:58:28.880 --> 0:58:31.320 So I was just about to say, I do have 0:58:31.360 --> 0:58:33.960 some friends that have literally had it's been a breeze 0:58:33.960 --> 0:58:35.640 when they've put it in and they've had no problems 0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:37.120 with it. And then I've had other people that it's 0:58:37.120 --> 0:58:39.200 been disastrous putting it in. So we don't want to 0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:42.280 scare anyone off. Some people it is easier, some people 0:58:42.400 --> 0:58:45.680 might take a little bit of maneuvering around. But yeah, 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.360 in terms of and this is like, this is not common, 0:58:48.800 --> 0:58:49.840 but it does happen. 0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:51.560 Sometimes. 0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:56.800 I've been called to operating theaters to literally look for 0:58:57.360 --> 0:59:02.200 migrating IUDs, like migrating marinas, et cetera. Because what can 0:59:02.240 --> 0:59:06.320 happen is they can perforate, and basically perforation is just 0:59:06.400 --> 0:59:09.800 where something migrates through, So think of it as like 0:59:09.960 --> 0:59:12.760 cutting through the uterus. And migrating somewhere else in the body. 0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:14.720 So it's like an almost like dislodge from the place 0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:16.880 that it's been positioned and move somewhere else. 0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:19.360 It goes on a VAK. Think of it like that. 0:59:19.560 --> 0:59:20.080 Straight up. 0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:22.560 It goes on VAC and that's really really really bad. 0:59:22.600 --> 0:59:24.640 Like that can cause all sorts of problems. A. It's 0:59:24.680 --> 0:59:27.560 really really painful, but B you open yourself up to 0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:29.720 all sorts of things like infections within the body. Because 0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:31.840 it's a passage. Think of it like a building, a 0:59:31.840 --> 0:59:34.680 tunnel made an opening. You've created an opening because it's 0:59:34.680 --> 0:59:37.600 cut through the layer. Now this is this is drastic, 0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:39.720 but it does happen, and I have seen it. 0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:41.120 But I'm going to guess that this is like the 0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:44.240 absolute minority case. However, it's still something that can happen, 0:59:44.240 --> 0:59:46.080 and it's still a side effect of what can happen 0:59:46.200 --> 0:59:49.760 using an IUD. Also, when I was researching for this, 0:59:49.880 --> 0:59:53.400 there is a dark and very deep Reddit thread. So 0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:55.960 this is all about copper iud's and there is a 0:59:56.000 --> 0:59:59.840 reddit thread where so many men have said that the 1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:03.320 their dicks have gotten punctured by the copper IUD, which 1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:07.400 seems impossible. However, the more I read into it, I 1:00:07.400 --> 1:00:09.120 didn't believe it at all at it really stood out 1:00:09.120 --> 1:00:10.440 as being a bit of a face. But then the 1:00:10.440 --> 1:00:12.160 more I read into it, the more I realized that 1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:15.880 the copper iud can has a string that hangs down 1:00:15.920 --> 1:00:19.120 so it is inserted into the uterus. However, outside of 1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:21.280 the uterus, it has these strings which are like a 1:00:22.080 --> 1:00:25.800 plastic type material that hang down into the uterus and 1:00:25.800 --> 1:00:29.880 they use them for removing insertion and also removal. However, 1:00:29.960 --> 1:00:33.840 these plastic strings can kind of be a little bit abrasive, 1:00:33.960 --> 1:00:37.920 so some guys who may be very sensitive have in 1:00:38.000 --> 1:00:41.600 fact been either slightly sliced or punctured or I mean 1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:43.680 it's rare as well, it doesn't happen very often, but 1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:47.680 I reckon if you've had a copper iud inserted, if 1:00:47.680 --> 1:00:51.040 you've had the rolls roys of contraception, they should be 1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:53.360 grateful that you just punctured them with with your rolls roys. 1:00:53.440 --> 1:00:54.280 I don't know if they're grateful. 1:00:54.280 --> 1:00:55.600 I don't know if you'd ever be grateful for being 1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:56.520 punctureding your penis. 1:00:56.760 --> 1:00:58.880 Also, I mean, like we are always the ones, we 1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.440 are the ones that have to take full responsibility for contraception. 1:01:01.480 --> 1:01:03.959 We're the ones that have to take responsibility for whether 1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:05.800 or not we get pregnant. And you know, like this 1:01:06.000 --> 1:01:08.600 is such a personal choice. Your contraception is such a 1:01:08.600 --> 1:01:11.320 personal choice that the only person who should be deciding 1:01:11.320 --> 1:01:14.120 on that is yourself. Like, it's not a conversation for 1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:16.040 you and your partner. It's just whatever is best for 1:01:16.120 --> 1:01:19.560 your body and for your choices and your decision. That 1:01:19.760 --> 1:01:21.960 is what you need to kind of take into account 1:01:22.000 --> 1:01:24.000 for this, And everyone's going to be slightly different. 1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:26.480 Yeah, Look, it's funny that you say that women and 1:01:26.520 --> 1:01:28.640 we have to do everything. They actually are trying to 1:01:28.680 --> 1:01:30.960 develop and I think they're close to it. It's in 1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:33.120 the works. They're trying to develop a pill for men, 1:01:33.280 --> 1:01:35.360 a male pill, So the onus is on them, But 1:01:35.440 --> 1:01:36.600 I don't know if I ever trust that. 1:01:37.160 --> 1:01:39.800 Well, I think, I mean, I think it's interesting because like, 1:01:40.240 --> 1:01:42.520 at the moment, we have how many different types of 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.320 contraception for women. There's like more than what we've just commented. 1:01:45.360 --> 1:01:47.560 I mean, we've commented on the three major ones, but 1:01:47.640 --> 1:01:50.960 there are so many different types of contraception for women. 1:01:51.400 --> 1:01:54.640 If even a quarter of the money that's gone into 1:01:54.680 --> 1:01:57.640 creating contraception for women. Has got would go into making 1:01:57.680 --> 1:02:00.040 contraception for men to make them also. 1:01:59.880 --> 1:02:03.160 Like then I think like we would have a solution 1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:03.720 by now. 1:02:03.760 --> 1:02:07.960 But the question is would you trust a guy if 1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:09.640 it was the other way around and you weren't on 1:02:09.640 --> 1:02:10.560 the pill but he was. 1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:12.760 You went home with him and you're like, are you 1:02:12.800 --> 1:02:13.240 on the pill? 1:02:13.360 --> 1:02:17.440 And he was like, yeah, would you try, babe? 1:02:17.480 --> 1:02:19.760 I don't need a condom, Like, I just don't know 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:20.919 if we'd ever trust them. 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:24.080 Depends on your relationship, like obviously, like Matt and I, 1:02:24.200 --> 1:02:25.120 of course I think that. 1:02:25.440 --> 1:02:27.480 In a relationship, for surely, but not when you're just 1:02:27.560 --> 1:02:29.360 out there, like just say, in a relationship, but when 1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:32.880 you're just out there gallivanting around, if you are out 1:02:32.920 --> 1:02:35.880 there having a good time, you know, getting your freak on, 1:02:36.440 --> 1:02:38.440 then of course you have to take that responsibility on 1:02:38.480 --> 1:02:40.480 yourself to make sure that you're protected, and a part 1:02:40.480 --> 1:02:42.760 of that is also ensuring that the person you're having 1:02:42.800 --> 1:02:44.640 sex with is using a condom so that you don't 1:02:44.720 --> 1:02:47.200 end up either a pregnant or two with an STI 1:02:47.600 --> 1:02:49.360 I like that, I said A and N two A or B. 1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:51.520 But on top of that, I think if you're in 1:02:51.560 --> 1:02:54.840 a committed relationship where you trust the person that you're with. 1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:56.960 I hate that the onus is always on me to 1:02:57.000 --> 1:02:59.200 have that contraception. I mean, you know, I would love 1:02:59.240 --> 1:03:01.040 there to be a period I could totally go off 1:03:01.080 --> 1:03:03.800 the pill and not have to worry about having a 1:03:03.840 --> 1:03:06.000 baby when I don't want to or I'm not ready 1:03:06.000 --> 1:03:07.880 to have a baby. I would love it if Matt 1:03:07.920 --> 1:03:09.680 could take the pill for a few years, just to 1:03:09.760 --> 1:03:11.800 kind of give me that break and that ability to 1:03:12.320 --> 1:03:14.960 know what my body feels like when I'm either not 1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:16.160 pregnant or on the pill. 1:03:16.200 --> 1:03:18.919 I don't even know what that is like. So I think, 1:03:19.080 --> 1:03:21.480 you know, it would work very well for certain relationships, 1:03:21.480 --> 1:03:23.640 but I agree it doesn't work for all situations, and 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:25.280 you know we know better. 1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:28.680 Yeah, I entrust with no man with a pill obviously. 1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:30.920 Lastly, there are more types of contraception than this, Like 1:03:30.960 --> 1:03:33.720 there are diaphragms. I don't even know what a dental 1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:35.520 dam is, but I'm going to say that that's out there. 1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.480 Vaginal rings, there are so many others. But I think, 1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:40.880 you know, I've never met or know anybody who has 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:43.720 used a diaphragm, and I don't think that vaginal rings 1:03:43.720 --> 1:03:47.240 are as common either, But obviously condoms is something that 1:03:47.280 --> 1:03:48.160 we need to talk about. 1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:50.520 And I actually think they get a bad rap. 1:03:51.280 --> 1:03:55.439 Rap What do you mean they get a bad rap 1:03:55.440 --> 1:03:55.919 in what way? 1:03:56.160 --> 1:03:57.680 Well, I think a lot of people are quick to 1:03:57.680 --> 1:03:59.280 say they don't want to use them because they don't 1:03:59.320 --> 1:04:01.080 like the way they feel, and I think that that's 1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:04.640 a pretty common conversation that happens around condoms. 1:04:04.640 --> 1:04:06.959 I think it's I think that's the general consensus though, 1:04:06.960 --> 1:04:09.000 because it definitely does take away from it. 1:04:09.200 --> 1:04:11.439 Yeah, one hundred percent, it doesn't feel as good as 1:04:11.480 --> 1:04:14.440 what not using a condom feels, I think for. 1:04:14.440 --> 1:04:15.200 The majority part. 1:04:15.280 --> 1:04:17.960 But also not being pregnant to someone you don't know 1:04:18.040 --> 1:04:20.280 feels pretty good too, or not catching an STD that 1:04:20.320 --> 1:04:23.760 you you know may potentially be with you for the 1:04:23.840 --> 1:04:25.920 rest of your life. Like, there is a lot of 1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:28.800 stigma that surrounds STDs, and I think that that's something 1:04:28.800 --> 1:04:30.960 that we need to break down because it doesn't make 1:04:31.040 --> 1:04:33.360 you a bad person. It doesn't mean you've made bad decisions, 1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:36.920 it doesn't alienate you from society. But if you can 1:04:36.920 --> 1:04:39.240 take steps to control that, and you can take steps 1:04:39.280 --> 1:04:41.520 to prevent it. I also think it's really important that 1:04:41.640 --> 1:04:44.840 people realize I mean sti's in Australia, I mean everywhere, 1:04:44.880 --> 1:04:48.320 but they are rife. I think, actually well, I think 1:04:49.240 --> 1:04:50.720 they're running wild where they are. 1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:54.040 COVID and STDs guys, watch out. That's what's about to say. 1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:59.640 Melbourne's their sci capital, shut up, COVID and probably more. 1:05:00.240 --> 1:05:01.640 But it's really important to know that. 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:04.240 If you haven't had an STI check, I just want 1:05:04.240 --> 1:05:05.560 you to ask yourself this now. 1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:07.480 If you haven't had one recently. 1:05:07.200 --> 1:05:10.480 But you know you've been sexually active, it's really important 1:05:10.520 --> 1:05:12.960 you go and get checked because you can have things 1:05:13.000 --> 1:05:15.480 that don't show any symptoms, so you won't know that 1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:17.920 you've got it the guy that you were with, or 1:05:17.960 --> 1:05:20.280 that the guy you are seeing might be amazing and 1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:24.160 really trustworthy. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have an 1:05:24.240 --> 1:05:26.640 SDI that has been laying dormant and he doesn't know 1:05:26.680 --> 1:05:28.960 he has either, and that's the whole reason they spread. 1:05:29.160 --> 1:05:31.680 So if you haven't had a check, it's just we 1:05:31.720 --> 1:05:33.440 advise you to go and get a sexual health check. 1:05:33.440 --> 1:05:37.160 It's completely normal, nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone does it. 1:05:37.440 --> 1:05:38.600 More people should be doing it. 1:05:39.000 --> 1:05:42.000 If you don't like using condoms but you've started seeing 1:05:42.080 --> 1:05:44.120 someone and you now are exclusive with them and you 1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:46.240 both go and get an SDI check, then you know 1:05:46.320 --> 1:05:48.680 it means that that's your benchmark. You can obviously have 1:05:48.800 --> 1:05:51.520 unprotected sex, just use contraception and which is you know. 1:05:51.560 --> 1:05:52.480 Obviously we've talked. 1:05:52.320 --> 1:05:54.360 About and kind of fleshed out, But one thing I 1:05:54.440 --> 1:05:58.440 want to say, ladies, be aware of condom cod artists and. 1:06:00.640 --> 1:06:00.920 Artists. 1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:02.200 Brittney, please explain. 1:06:02.280 --> 1:06:04.400 Now I make jokes about this, but there are a 1:06:04.440 --> 1:06:06.840 small portion of men out there. Obviously, there will be 1:06:06.880 --> 1:06:08.720 guys who when you ask them to wear a condom, 1:06:08.800 --> 1:06:10.400 they will try and convince you that they've had their 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:12.960 CD checks or they don't need to, they're not sleeping 1:06:13.000 --> 1:06:13.880 with anybody else. 1:06:14.280 --> 1:06:15.920 They'll pull out whatever it is. 1:06:16.200 --> 1:06:18.200 But if you really want a guy to wear a condom, 1:06:18.200 --> 1:06:21.880 and that's where you feel comfortable, make sure that that 1:06:21.920 --> 1:06:23.880 they follow through with it. If you ever find yourself 1:06:23.920 --> 1:06:26.400 in a position where a guy says they're using it 1:06:26.440 --> 1:06:28.520 and they actually don't follow through with it, or they 1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:31.400 pull it off last minute, or they in any way 1:06:31.440 --> 1:06:34.240 trick you into thinking that they used it when they didn't, 1:06:34.400 --> 1:06:36.480 there is a name for that, and that's non consensual 1:06:36.560 --> 1:06:39.320 condom removal. Which is not something to make a joke about. 1:06:39.320 --> 1:06:42.160 It's not something that's funny. It is actually considered sexual 1:06:42.160 --> 1:06:45.880 assault because that's not you giving consent to the type 1:06:45.880 --> 1:06:47.840 of sex that you want to be having. And I 1:06:47.880 --> 1:06:49.600 think that that's something that women need to be more 1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:52.720 aware of. And my younger self wasn't fully aware of 1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:56.760 how manipulative that is. And I think being older and 1:06:56.800 --> 1:06:59.600 having a little bit more understanding around what that is 1:06:59.640 --> 1:07:01.680 and the top topic of it, I just think it's 1:07:01.680 --> 1:07:03.840 really important to kind of make sure that other women 1:07:03.840 --> 1:07:04.600 are aware of that. 1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:07.000 I didn't know that was a thing. Not gonna lie. 1:07:07.240 --> 1:07:10.440 Yeah, non consensual condom removal. It's also known as stealthy 1:07:11.080 --> 1:07:14.000 I'm reading this verbatim right now, practice of when a 1:07:14.000 --> 1:07:17.960 man covertly removes or damages a condom during sexual intercourse. 1:07:18.200 --> 1:07:21.040 Whether it's because they want to get you pregnant or 1:07:21.040 --> 1:07:23.480 whether it's because they don't like the feel of the condom. 1:07:23.600 --> 1:07:26.120 It can be either of those things. Yeah, that's really interesting. 1:07:26.160 --> 1:07:28.280 I actually didn't know that was a thing. But also, guys, 1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:31.080 just have a look watching put it on, make sure 1:07:31.080 --> 1:07:33.760 it's on there, Like don't roll over and close your eyes. 1:07:34.320 --> 1:07:35.919 But you know, like if you've had a few drinks 1:07:36.000 --> 1:07:38.160 or you're doing it doggie style, like there's reasons or yeah, 1:07:38.200 --> 1:07:40.560 in the dark, there's reasons why you might not realize 1:07:40.600 --> 1:07:43.800 that's true. Practice sex sex. Choose a contraception that works 1:07:43.800 --> 1:07:46.520 for you. This was like a bit of a random topic. 1:07:46.560 --> 1:07:48.000 But I think you know, the more that we talk 1:07:48.040 --> 1:07:50.440 about relationships, the more that we talk about sex, the 1:07:50.480 --> 1:07:52.480 more that you have to talk about the responsibilities and 1:07:52.600 --> 1:07:54.720 things that actually go with that as well. 1:07:54.880 --> 1:07:56.680 And we do want to talk about things that are 1:07:56.680 --> 1:07:58.520 relevant to you guys, and things that you want to hear. 1:07:58.640 --> 1:08:01.080 And we did put a little call out and I 1:08:01.120 --> 1:08:03.880 was really surprised at how many of you asked for 1:08:03.920 --> 1:08:06.000 an episode on contraceptions. And I didn't think it'd be 1:08:06.000 --> 1:08:07.440 top of the list, but there were quite. 1:08:07.240 --> 1:08:07.680 A lot of you. 1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:09.680 We know, we know that so many of you are 1:08:09.680 --> 1:08:12.040 going to have different experiences like we, like we've said 1:08:12.080 --> 1:08:15.320 all along, like we are not medical experts. We don't 1:08:15.400 --> 1:08:18.280 have any more than our own personal experiences with these 1:08:18.320 --> 1:08:21.280 different types of contraceptions. So if you've had a particularly 1:08:21.320 --> 1:08:25.040 interesting experience, if you understand know more about it, if 1:08:25.080 --> 1:08:27.320 we've said anything that's incorrect or that you don't agree 1:08:27.320 --> 1:08:29.120 with Like, we would love to hear your feedback on 1:08:29.160 --> 1:08:31.439 this because it's stuff that you do want to talk 1:08:31.439 --> 1:08:33.439 about with your girlfriends. It's stuff that we should be 1:08:33.479 --> 1:08:36.320 discussing and just have a little bit more open dialogue 1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:38.679 and awareness around so that we can make the best 1:08:38.720 --> 1:08:41.520 decisions for ourselves to be able to protect ourselves. 1:08:41.600 --> 1:08:53.320 Absolutely, writ Yo, Laura, it's time for our sign off. 1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:55.360 We don't ever end an episode without our suck and 1:08:55.400 --> 1:08:57.720 our suite, the best and the worst, the highlights and 1:08:57.760 --> 1:08:58.679 the low lights. 1:08:58.760 --> 1:09:01.920 And I love hearing yours. You just sounded so radio. 1:09:02.000 --> 1:09:06.840 Then Yeah, we're we gonna talk about us. Let me 1:09:06.880 --> 1:09:09.840 talk to you about the weather today. Step aside, Carl 1:09:09.840 --> 1:09:10.240 and Jack. 1:09:10.360 --> 1:09:14.280 Yeah, actually, steps on, have you seen our gold MIC's 1:09:14.280 --> 1:09:15.040 in our new studio. 1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:16.360 We are coming after you. 1:09:16.560 --> 1:09:19.479 Ah dear, Okay, my suck a my sweet for the week. Well, 1:09:19.520 --> 1:09:22.000 I mean, I think my story of the Bathtime episode 1:09:22.040 --> 1:09:27.720 was probably pretty sucky, but to be honest, look, you 1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:29.760 know what, we've had a little laughs on this episode, 1:09:29.880 --> 1:09:32.799 and we're always really upbeat and we always talk about 1:09:32.960 --> 1:09:34.720 like the great and positive things that are happening in 1:09:34.760 --> 1:09:37.200 our life and the funny things that have happened to 1:09:37.280 --> 1:09:39.479 us and we can always find like the lighter side 1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:43.200 of life, I guess, But I feel like I've had 1:09:43.200 --> 1:09:46.040 a really challenging week and I feel like we'll talk 1:09:46.080 --> 1:09:48.920 about it more in future episode when I can can 1:09:48.960 --> 1:09:52.400 actually talk about things properly. But I've just been super emotional. 1:09:52.640 --> 1:09:56.519 I've I've felt really down about a lot of stuff, 1:09:56.720 --> 1:10:00.519 and it's been hard to just be positive. I feel, 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:02.360 I feel really I don't know. I don't know if 1:10:02.439 --> 1:10:04.920 you guys ever get into these funks, but it's like 1:10:05.640 --> 1:10:09.200 I feel very easily mad about stuff and I just 1:10:09.240 --> 1:10:12.280 don't feel myself and that's been really hard to kind 1:10:12.280 --> 1:10:13.559 of process this last week. 1:10:13.680 --> 1:10:17.320 Yeah, and I want you to remember because obviously Laura 1:10:17.320 --> 1:10:19.200 and I see each other and speak every day, so 1:10:19.280 --> 1:10:20.840 we know what each other are going through. 1:10:21.000 --> 1:10:23.280 Actually, sometimes I feel like we might rub off on each. 1:10:23.120 --> 1:10:25.360 Other, like, yeah, I know when you're sad. I know, 1:10:25.439 --> 1:10:27.439 but I'm sad too, and we're both sad. You're like 1:10:27.479 --> 1:10:28.880 I'm feeling this, I'm like, oh my, got me too. 1:10:29.640 --> 1:10:31.679 But then we both send each other photos of us crying, 1:10:31.800 --> 1:10:35.280 like it's so funny. Laura and I literally send each 1:10:35.280 --> 1:10:37.360 other photos like she'd be like, I'm so flat today, 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:38.720 I'm really upset, And I send her a photo back 1:10:38.720 --> 1:10:40.040 and being like I'm in bed crying right now, and 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:40.760 she's like me too. 1:10:41.080 --> 1:10:42.479 It's so it's a really weird thing. 1:10:42.680 --> 1:10:44.200 Also, I don't want you guys think we seen men 1:10:44.240 --> 1:10:44.720 cry all the. 1:10:44.640 --> 1:10:47.519 Time, because we don't. But it has been a bit 1:10:47.560 --> 1:10:49.160 of a it's been a bit of a rough week, 1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:51.120 and like, I don't have a reason for it, and 1:10:51.160 --> 1:10:52.960 I know that that's it makes it almost makes me 1:10:53.000 --> 1:10:55.280 feel guiltier that I don't have a solid reason for 1:10:55.320 --> 1:10:57.320 why I feel the way I do. But I've had 1:10:57.320 --> 1:11:01.240 a really bad anxiety and I've just felt really down 1:11:01.280 --> 1:11:03.680 this last week, and and then I struggle and I 1:11:03.680 --> 1:11:06.320 feel ungrateful because I feel like I shouldn't feel like that. 1:11:06.439 --> 1:11:10.639 And so it's this weird cycle that is not very 1:11:10.640 --> 1:11:11.360 fun to be in. 1:11:11.479 --> 1:11:13.720 But it's also and this is what I was going 1:11:13.760 --> 1:11:16.800 to say before we started the crying photos thing, it's 1:11:16.920 --> 1:11:20.720 so normal too. Everyone goes through these funks, and do 1:11:20.760 --> 1:11:22.880 you know what you're allowed to feel these I think 1:11:22.880 --> 1:11:25.960 this is what people forget. You might feel something and 1:11:26.000 --> 1:11:28.880 you don't know why, and that's okay, and that is 1:11:28.920 --> 1:11:31.080 normal and you don't have to have this huge reason. 1:11:31.120 --> 1:11:32.840 You don't have to have something horrific happened to you 1:11:32.880 --> 1:11:35.960 that week. If you feel shitty, you're allowed to feel shitty, 1:11:36.000 --> 1:11:37.559 and you're allowed to sit in bed for a few days. 1:11:37.560 --> 1:11:41.120 You're allowed to cry. We're women, we have hormones. You 1:11:41.160 --> 1:11:43.080 have a lot going on, you have so many jobs, 1:11:43.080 --> 1:11:45.519 you've got stresses, you've got a one year old, we're 1:11:45.560 --> 1:11:48.880 in a pandemic. Like feel it and it's okay. And 1:11:49.240 --> 1:11:51.280 as long as and if you guys are feeling this too, 1:11:51.600 --> 1:11:54.000 as long as when the time comes, you know, to 1:11:54.080 --> 1:11:56.120 ask for help or just to reach out to someone, 1:11:56.200 --> 1:11:57.920 just to have a shoulder to cry on, just to 1:11:57.920 --> 1:12:00.840 have someone say you know this too, and you'll be 1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:02.680 okay and I'm here for you, and just just to 1:12:02.680 --> 1:12:03.519 have someone to listen. 1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:06.280 So I think that that's like such a good point. 1:12:06.360 --> 1:12:09.840 I think we often rationalize why we feel bad, and 1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:13.160 we don't allow ourselves to be sad because other people 1:12:13.160 --> 1:12:15.599 are going through so much worse, and then we seem 1:12:15.640 --> 1:12:18.880 like we're being entitled, or we seem like we're not 1:12:19.040 --> 1:12:24.599 being empathetic of other people's problems and actually carry bigmore 1:12:24.600 --> 1:12:26.400 said it perfectly on the project the other night. She 1:12:26.479 --> 1:12:29.000 was like, just because there are so many other shit 1:12:29.080 --> 1:12:31.800 things happening in the world at the moment doesn't mean 1:12:31.840 --> 1:12:35.280 that the way that you feel is invalidated. So I, yeah, 1:12:35.320 --> 1:12:36.920 I guess I'm kind of saying this to myself, but 1:12:36.960 --> 1:12:39.360 I'm also saying it to you. If you have been 1:12:39.400 --> 1:12:44.000 feeling anxious, or you have been just struggling a little bit, 1:12:44.040 --> 1:12:45.640 and when you do struggle a little bit, as we 1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:49.800 all do, yeah, those feelings shouldn't be invalidated because we're 1:12:49.840 --> 1:12:52.719 all entitled to feel shit at certain points in our lives. 1:12:52.800 --> 1:12:56.080 And right now, that's me my week. But I also 1:12:56.120 --> 1:12:57.080 have some positives. 1:12:57.240 --> 1:12:58.120 Yeah, what's your sweet. 1:12:58.479 --> 1:13:01.759 My sweet for the week is that I've been cheating 1:13:01.760 --> 1:13:05.000 on you, Brittany. Some of you might know I have 1:13:05.120 --> 1:13:08.280 done a short podcast called Me After You with Mum 1:13:08.360 --> 1:13:11.280 and mea just about parenting, and I mean, if you're 1:13:11.320 --> 1:13:14.120 a new mum and you want to have listened to 1:13:14.280 --> 1:13:17.280 other mums experiences, it's called Me After You, and it 1:13:17.320 --> 1:13:19.360 did really well on the podcast charts, and we launched 1:13:19.360 --> 1:13:21.200 it last week, and so that's been my highlight. 1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:23.960 I had a lot of things to say. Brittany's life 1:13:24.000 --> 1:13:26.840 so much suck is that you cheated on me? And 1:13:26.960 --> 1:13:30.519 how dare you host another podcast? You all, I feel 1:13:31.880 --> 1:13:34.639 got a lot of feelings. I feel like you don't 1:13:34.680 --> 1:13:38.479 see me anymore. No, I'll see you every freak from 1:13:38.640 --> 1:13:40.880 day man. First of all, like you cheated on me. 1:13:40.920 --> 1:13:42.880 For sure, we lost some condemn but whatever. 1:13:43.520 --> 1:13:47.880 I am. So Laura's been humble. The podcast did really well, guys. 1:13:47.880 --> 1:13:50.160 She went to number one, so I think she's been 1:13:50.200 --> 1:13:51.840 a bit a little bit humble. So I'm just gonna 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:54.360 throw it out there. Podcast is number one. She knocked 1:13:54.360 --> 1:13:56.040 A Life Uncut out of the top ten. 1:13:58.680 --> 1:13:59.840 Wish I wasn't thrilled about it. 1:13:59.840 --> 1:14:02.040 I'm you're trying to be like the supportive friend, Like 1:14:02.160 --> 1:14:03.639 I'm so happy. 1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:04.840 To kind of like prep you guys if you're going 1:14:04.880 --> 1:14:06.360 to jump over and have a listen at all. It 1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:08.840 is a very different type of podcast to this, Like, 1:14:08.920 --> 1:14:11.000 I'm so proud of this podcast because I love that 1:14:11.040 --> 1:14:14.160 we get on here, we have a laugh, it's very conversational. 1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:16.760 I feel like it's you know, obviously we feel like 1:14:16.800 --> 1:14:18.920 we're sitting down with girlfriends because Britt and I are 1:14:19.000 --> 1:14:23.280 girlfriends and we that was weird. You like we sit down, 1:14:23.360 --> 1:14:25.120 we have a laugh, But we also feel like this 1:14:25.200 --> 1:14:27.080 is such a fun community because you guys are all 1:14:27.080 --> 1:14:29.240 a part of this, and you know when you write 1:14:29.280 --> 1:14:31.120 into us saying that you feel like you're just sitting 1:14:31.160 --> 1:14:33.160 down with us, being your besties and having a glass 1:14:33.200 --> 1:14:35.160 of wine like that means so much to us. But 1:14:35.560 --> 1:14:38.400 this other podcast is very different. It's it's like a 1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:41.960 narrated storytelling type podcast. So if you go and listen 1:14:42.000 --> 1:14:43.560 to that, you might be like, who the fuck is 1:14:43.600 --> 1:14:45.519 this bitch? She's like a chameleon. 1:14:45.880 --> 1:14:47.840 You might also enjoy it. Give it a chance. 1:14:48.680 --> 1:14:51.439 No congratulations, you should be really really proud and as 1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:53.439 I'm joking, guys, I don't more jealous. 1:14:53.439 --> 1:14:55.800 Well she's not. But anyway, okay, right, enough about me 1:14:55.880 --> 1:14:58.760 to you after the pot. What is your suck o? 1:14:59.479 --> 1:15:00.960 M actual g. 1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:04.320 I can't believe I forgot to talk about this. You 1:15:04.320 --> 1:15:06.519 guys might have seen all my stories this week. This 1:15:06.600 --> 1:15:08.800 is the suckiest suck. I had just been working like 1:15:08.840 --> 1:15:10.800 a beast again at the hospital because COVID is still 1:15:10.800 --> 1:15:11.320 a thing. 1:15:11.600 --> 1:15:15.439 And sort of athlete. Are you working like a beast? 1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:17.600 I'm working like an athlete. 1:15:18.439 --> 1:15:21.040 I got into my car and turned it on and 1:15:21.120 --> 1:15:22.600 went to drive off, and I noticed that there was 1:15:22.640 --> 1:15:24.360 a note on the front of my car, on the 1:15:24.360 --> 1:15:27.439 wind screens. I thought, oh, awesome, like someone's written me 1:15:27.479 --> 1:15:30.400 a love letter, like in my wildest dreams. So I 1:15:30.439 --> 1:15:31.760 get the note off and I have a look and 1:15:31.800 --> 1:15:34.240 it is the I'll try and post it again on 1:15:34.400 --> 1:15:36.439 our Life Uncut Stories tomorrow so you could see it 1:15:36.479 --> 1:15:39.280 if you missed it. The note looks like it has 1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:42.519 been written by a four year old and I'm not exaggerating, like, 1:15:42.560 --> 1:15:46.880 that's not exaggeration, And it says I deciphered this. It's 1:15:46.880 --> 1:15:48.280 got to be four year old doctor too. Have you 1:15:48.320 --> 1:15:49.240 seen doctor's handwriting? 1:15:49.360 --> 1:15:51.439 No, Britain sent it to me, and it's such a 1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:54.720 fucking jerk thing. This person has obviously written it like 1:15:54.800 --> 1:15:56.840 so you can read. The first half of the letter 1:15:56.920 --> 1:15:59.839 is legible, and then when they've gotten to the number, 1:16:00.200 --> 1:16:04.080 they've purposely written it so it is entirely illegible. It 1:16:04.120 --> 1:16:10.120 literally says, hi, I bumped your car this morning, bumped 1:16:10.439 --> 1:16:11.799 at one hundred colms an how bumped? 1:16:11.920 --> 1:16:15.240 I bumped your car this morning? The back left, this 1:16:15.320 --> 1:16:19.720 is my number four, This is my number call me, 1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:22.200 and then I'm not I can't even a there's not 1:16:22.200 --> 1:16:24.120 even enough digit in a number, and it is like 1:16:24.439 --> 1:16:27.479 it goes down on a tilt, it goes into each other. 1:16:27.520 --> 1:16:31.160 It's like another language, and it is it's physically impossible 1:16:31.240 --> 1:16:33.720 to decipher. Like obviously someone's seen them hit my car, 1:16:33.880 --> 1:16:35.599 so they felt like they need to look like they're 1:16:35.600 --> 1:16:36.280 doing the right thing. 1:16:36.680 --> 1:16:39.920 Anyway, I got out. They didn't bump my bloody car. Whatever. 1:16:40.080 --> 1:16:42.280 It was like full on hitting dinted in panel and 1:16:42.280 --> 1:16:44.160 a bit flapped out the side. And I don't know, 1:16:44.160 --> 1:16:46.880 I don't know the technical terms, but it wasn't a 1:16:46.920 --> 1:16:47.400 little bump. 1:16:47.479 --> 1:16:50.120 I think the flappy side bit sounds pretty technical. We're 1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:52.960 talking about a vagina. Are we talking about your brainch drover? No, 1:16:53.080 --> 1:16:56.280 my range, it was like a flappy panel thing. Anyway, 1:16:56.280 --> 1:16:57.800 I like popped a bit out. I've made it look 1:16:57.840 --> 1:17:01.719 a lot better than it was, but I was so mad. Anyway, 1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:03.960 what I loved the most is I was just so mad. 1:17:04.000 --> 1:17:06.160 I put this up on my story and I put 1:17:06.160 --> 1:17:08.719 a picture of the note up. Hundreds of you wrote 1:17:08.720 --> 1:17:10.760 in what you thought the number was. They like, Babe, 1:17:10.760 --> 1:17:12.040 I think this is the number to call. 1:17:12.439 --> 1:17:14.719 No one of them was the same, Like every number 1:17:14.800 --> 1:17:16.599 was different, and then people were going just go through 1:17:16.600 --> 1:17:17.479 them all until you get them. 1:17:17.560 --> 1:17:20.320 Do you know, do you know statistically how many numbers 1:17:20.320 --> 1:17:21.040 I would have to call? 1:17:21.520 --> 1:17:23.920 Like it's impossible, every single number. I was just really mad. 1:17:23.760 --> 1:17:26.360 Because I thought, what a jerk thing to do, Like, 1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:30.320 you've just ruined my day, absolutely ruined my day. 1:17:30.600 --> 1:17:32.680 You've obviously pretended to be a good person, which is 1:17:32.760 --> 1:17:34.880 worse because you're not. You're a bad human. And you 1:17:34.920 --> 1:17:36.240 know what, you're probably listening to this. 1:17:36.880 --> 1:17:40.400 Nah, it was a guy. Well maybe he's listening. But okay, 1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:43.160 we will put this if you guys don't follow our Instagram, 1:17:43.200 --> 1:17:45.360 it's life on Cut podcast. We're gonna put the note 1:17:45.400 --> 1:17:48.519 up on our stories because it's so post. Let's just post. Okay, 1:17:48.520 --> 1:17:50.320 we're gonna put up on our socials. We're gonna go wild. 1:17:50.360 --> 1:17:53.240 It's so hectic what this person did. Anyway, all right, 1:17:53.280 --> 1:17:55.280 what is your sweet because that's a really shitty sucks. 1:17:55.280 --> 1:17:56.160 So give me a highlight. 1:17:56.240 --> 1:17:57.719 Oh I don't even have one. This week. 1:17:57.760 --> 1:17:59.639 I've like, on top of that, I've had a week 1:17:59.680 --> 1:18:01.679 like you you where I don't know if it's Bachelor 1:18:01.760 --> 1:18:04.400 in Paradise, I don't know what it is, but I 1:18:04.479 --> 1:18:08.200 have had I've flatlined this week. It's like I've gone 1:18:08.240 --> 1:18:09.720 to work when I'm not even work. I'm in better, 1:18:09.720 --> 1:18:11.639 I'm at home. I'm just like I have had a really, 1:18:11.640 --> 1:18:14.200 really hard few weeks. And we'll talk about, like Laura said, 1:18:14.200 --> 1:18:15.519 like we both have so much we want to talk 1:18:15.560 --> 1:18:18.280 about when we get upcoming episodes. 1:18:18.320 --> 1:18:19.240 Guys, it's coming. 1:18:19.479 --> 1:18:22.120 But I think it's fair to say that, like Paradise 1:18:22.200 --> 1:18:24.160 is pretty hectic at the moment. There's lots of stuff 1:18:24.200 --> 1:18:28.559 in the media, there's lots of people speculating, and it's 1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:30.040 a really it's it's hard. 1:18:30.080 --> 1:18:31.840 Like you're still in the thick of this experience. 1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:33.800 And I think as soon as you were able to 1:18:33.840 --> 1:18:36.439 exit Paradise and talk about your life and be open 1:18:36.479 --> 1:18:39.840 about who you are and what you have been experiencing 1:18:39.840 --> 1:18:42.080 for the last X amount of months, you will feel 1:18:42.080 --> 1:18:44.200 like this weight has been lifted. And we're just not 1:18:44.280 --> 1:18:46.160 there yet. But you brought chocolate over. 1:18:46.080 --> 1:18:47.800 Today and you had a glass of wine, so I 1:18:47.800 --> 1:18:50.439 think you're feeling a bit better. I brought Laura this. 1:18:50.400 --> 1:18:52.200 Chok I was like, Laura's really, I'm said, I'm just 1:18:52.200 --> 1:18:53.519 going to bring a block of chocolate over. So I 1:18:53.560 --> 1:18:55.479 brought the block of chocolate and then didn't even notice that. 1:18:55.479 --> 1:18:57.600 I've just sat here moaning eating the whole block on 1:18:57.600 --> 1:18:58.080 my own. 1:18:57.920 --> 1:19:00.519 Like I don't even know if you've had any anyway, Guys, 1:19:00.520 --> 1:19:02.439 thank you so much.

That's a pretty sweet sweet. 1:19:14.560 --> 1:19:16.840 Literally, it's the sweetest of sweets that you can have 1:19:17.400 --> 1:19:20.680 a leader of sweet.

Two hundred reviews and 1:20:23.520 --> 1:20:27.400 only thirty seven of them have been negative.
