1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: He's the man.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: There's cuttin the room, and the man's.

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Cutting the room fall what's on the cutting room floor?

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: Have you heard of the tradition of the trad wife? No,

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: this is resurging in America, the trad wife or traditional wife.

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: These are women and it's thanks to Instagram and all

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff that women are dressing up in

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: yoldie wildy clothes, house in the prairie kind of clothes.

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: But you know, without the toilet situation, without the disease

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: of those days, a lot of chores. Well they do

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: their chores, but they still do their chores. I think

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: in a half asked kind of a way. A lot

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: of this came to like remember the guy I can't

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: remember his name now who was Travis Kelsey's teammate, and

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: he said at a validict Victorian address to women who

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: are graduating from university, and he said to them, your

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: biggest achievement will be being a mother and a wife.

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: This is a big scene upset a lot of people because, well,

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: let's get all our husbands to earn four million dollars

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: a year for kicking a ball, shall we, because that's

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: the lucky position. Their wife's sin his wife's sin if

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: you call that a lucky position. But the trad wife

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: has really taken hold a lot of it's because of

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: social media, because it gives women a chance to say,

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: look at me stirring up a cake mix, look at

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: me digging in a garden. And also the psychology behind

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: this for a lot of women is life's hard. I'm

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: a bit tired of working, as many of us go

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: through that. I'll pretend my new thing is being a

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: trad wife. It's a chance to give up a little bit.

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy really when you look at it. You

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: know you don't have to really have any ambition.

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: You just do the chores and make the dinner and

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 4: wash the clothes, which would do that each.

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: Day, which a lot of families can't afford to do.

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: You cannot afford to have one family member doing that. Well.

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: This is a story I've been reading about this woman today,

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: a woman who quit her gig, it says, to become

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: a trad wife. She says her husband pays for about

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a week to cook and clean for him.

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: She sit back at feminist who accused her of just

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: wanting a sugar daddy claiming that they'd be happier as

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: well if they followed suit. This is how it works

44
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: for them. Her name is d she's twenty eight. Her

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: name is Alissa. Sorry, and she said, my husband employs

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: me to take care of the home. It's the best

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: job I've ever had. Her husband was initially hesitant about

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 3: her taking on a more domestic role, stating, this is

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: a great quote from him. I honestly thought I wanted

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: a physicist triathlete. That was my mindset.

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah.

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: But despite his reservations, he decided to give his nineteen

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: fifty style romance a go.

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: And here's how it works.

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: Under the arrangement, the professional homemaker is paid one hundred

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: dollars a week so she can treat herself to quote,

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: snacks and coffee, along with the occasional shopping excursion. Her

58
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: husband said, we got rid of all her credit cards

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: and we open the new credit opened up new credit

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: cards under my account, so now I can see all

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: of her purchases.

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Wow, I would you like this?

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: Is this something that's secretly you think Brendon all men

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: would like?

65
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: Not at all.

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: My wife, she you know, she's got a degree in

67
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: biomedical science and she did the UNI, she did all

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: the training, and then she decided it wasn't for her

69
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: as far as working in.

70
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: The world of it.

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: And I used to give us a bit answer and

72
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: I said, well, why did you do the degree?

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: And she said, because I wanted to.

74
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: I wanted to see where it would take me, and

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: I took it where she wanted to be. And then

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: she ended up not doing it, and then she worked

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 4: like admittedly, Helen worked in the time i've known, She's

78
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: worked for about five years, that's the extent, and now

79
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: she's pretty much retired.

80
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: But she does other stuff. You know, she's great at.

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: Providing at the home, and she does a lot of

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: work around the house. She likes painting houses. You know,

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: she goes and fixes up houses and then works on that.

84
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: Would you like the situation to be where you give

85
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: her one hundred dollars a week and she works for you,

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: as they say here, because there's something If I was

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: a guy, I think there'd be something very appealing about that, say,

88
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: here's your dinner, here's all this taken care of. I'm

89
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: not spending any money that you don't know. Does it

90
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: go back to something I have been taken care of.

91
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: I don't have to wear a cricket box. If I

92
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: started suggesting that.

93
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but would you secretly like it?

94
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: No?

95
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: I whatever makes you happy, the old saying, happy wife,

96
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: happy life. If she wanted to be a biomedical scientist

97
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 4: and continue to do that and wear lab coats and save.

98
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: The world for long hours, yea mother means that's what.

99
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. You know, that's whatever it's like

100
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: for you and Harley. That's the same thing.

101
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: Your job took you to many different places, our jobs,

102
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: but they're very unique jobs.

103
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: But I don't he doesn't have the fantasy. I don't

104
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: think of being looked after like that.

105
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, what it spends we're wearing in this fantasy, that's

106
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: just you remember when it was Harley's fortieth birthday and

107
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: many years ago, and he said, as a joke, he'd

108
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: like a community nurse to come and give him a

109
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: sponge bath, and I said, sure, I'll get him lined up.

110
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: You're Hindu to come spongebath with some steel wools.

111
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: That's just fun, isn't it.

112
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: But it's interesting that you know many women look at

113
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: this and think, well, that's dangerous. And also what's hard

114
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: about this is in the current climate in America. This

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: is where all this tradwife stuff's happening. Women are finding

116
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: it harder and harder to break the glass ceiling. We've

117
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: seen twice now that Americans would rather a felon. Twice

118
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: they've voted for Donald Trump versus two strong women. They've

119
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: voted Donald Trump the least likely candidate every time.

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: Yes, Hillary and Carmela Karmela, Okay, Caramelo bear.

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter now, it still does.

122
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: It still does that at a time when women's health

123
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: is being put on the back burner, where their reproductive

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: rights are disappearing, it's it's a time for women.

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: To be out out and loud.

126
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: And yet women are getting smaller and smaller because of

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: the climate there.

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: I think I don't think they're getting smaller and smaller.

129
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: They've got more choice.

130
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's true. Maybe they've got more choice and maybe,

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: but I've seen a whole lot of women saying, now

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: is not the time to bail out. Now is the

133
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: time when we need every all hands.

134
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be just.

135
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: What makes you, whatever you like doing, if you can,

136
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: if it works for you.

137
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: It works for you.

138
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: But as influencers go, and this is all about influencing.

139
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: This isn't about how people actually living their lives. The

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 3: people that are putting this on social media aren't actually Amish.

141
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: This is just there being influencers and they are influencing

142
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 3: younger women.

143
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: The Amish life. That would be all right, no electricity.

144
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: What do you like with a plow?

145
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: I'd be great with a plaid, with those knickerbockers and

146
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: grow a big bit and put up a barn.

147
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: It's not you know. I watched Witness said in the

148
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: Armists way of life.

149
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: Remember that joke, what goes clip clop, clip clop bang,

150
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: clip clop, clip clop? A drive by shooting on Armish territory,

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: slow paced plan years ago?

152
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: They'd have a blunderbus, wouldn't they? Would they? The only

153
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: thing I remember from Witness.

154
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're going to say. You're going

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: to say something about her nipple.

156
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: No, I wasn't the elaborate birdhouse.

157
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: You go to her nip.

158
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,240
