Speaker 1: life lessons and tips to help make you rich in life.
0:50
Speaker 2: And today we are chatting signs that your frontal lobe
0:53
Speaker 2: has developed. I'm ready as someone who isn't quite sure
0:57
Speaker 2: there's has yet, right, I'm locked in. Yeah. And because obviously, like.
1:03
Speaker 1: The whole concept of your frontal lobe developing is a
1:05
Speaker 1: scientific term, but in terms of like pop culture lingo
1:10
Speaker 1: and it as a concept, it's a very individual thing
1:13
Speaker 1: where I feel like, you know, one moment, you look
1:17
Speaker 1: back and you're like, wait a second, maybe I have
1:19
Speaker 1: grown up.
1:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, dude. When we were like thinking
1:22
Speaker 2: about things in this episode, I was like, I really
1:25
Speaker 2: am turning thirty.
1:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, like go me go, you go us collectively. And
1:32
Speaker 1: also like, if your frontal lobe hasn't developed, that's also
1:36
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. You've got to go through the
1:39
Speaker 1: undeveloped frontal lobe stage to enter the developing slash developed
1:45
Speaker 1: frontal lobe era of your life exactly. You've got to
1:48
Speaker 1: go through the low error to hit the high note,
1:50
Speaker 1: you know. And I do think that everybody's final product
1:53
Speaker 1: will look a little bit different. Yeah.
1:55
Speaker 2: If you're listening to this and you're like, hey, I
1:57
Speaker 2: still like to do that, it obviously doesn't mean that
1:59
Speaker 2: you're development that's gonna judge.
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we still watch Disney movies on a regular basis,
2:06
Speaker 1: Disney adult apologists.
2:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:08
Speaker 1: Okay, before we get into our signs that our fondo
2:10
Speaker 1: loofe has developed, would you like to kick off with
2:13
Speaker 1: your obsession of the week.
2:15
Speaker 2: My Obsession of the Week is a book that I've
2:18
Speaker 2: been seeing all over my FYP and it's on my TV.
2:22
Speaker 2: I haven't read it yet, but I wanted to share
2:24
Speaker 2: it because I figured it could be a really cute
2:26
Speaker 2: thing that we could do. Is like a book club
2:28
Speaker 2: thing that we could all read it. And it's how
2:31
Speaker 2: to be a Rich Old Lady, Your guide to easy investing,
2:35
Speaker 2: building wealth, and creating the wild, beautiful life you want.
2:40
Speaker 2: And it's really sounds like a really refreshing book. I
2:44
Speaker 2: saw someone posting about even just the introduction, and basically
2:49
Speaker 2: how the world is not set up for women to
2:51
Speaker 2: financially win, and how so much of our work and
2:56
Speaker 2: passion and emotions just goes unnoticed, and the unpaid labor
3:01
Speaker 2: of being a woman. Yeah, and what I really like
3:04
Speaker 2: about this is that in the description it says, how
3:07
Speaker 2: to be a Rich old Lady is a step by
3:08
Speaker 2: step roadmap to financial freedom. It's not just about numbers
3:12
Speaker 2: on a spreadsheet, but building a life that feels secure
3:15
Speaker 2: enough to dream into. Maybe your rich old lady is
3:18
Speaker 2: wearing belly chains at the beach, tanned and wrinkly and
3:21
Speaker 2: totally unbothered. Maybe she's befriending the birds at her cozy
3:25
Speaker 2: forest cabin. Maybe she's leaving five hundred dollar tips on
3:29
Speaker 2: her diner coffee. Whatever your vision, this approachable guide to
3:32
Speaker 2: investing and wealth building will help you build a plan
3:35
Speaker 2: to greet her with confidence, security, and a genuine hope
3:38
Speaker 2: for tomorrow. So she goes into some of these topics
3:42
Speaker 2: that I think we would typically find, you know, maybe
3:44
Speaker 2: a little bit boring or not necessarily super aligned, but
3:48
Speaker 2: in a way that it's like, let's figure out money
3:50
Speaker 2: so that we can stop thinking about money. Yeah, okay,
3:53
Speaker 2: which I like that. Like she talks about retirement accounts
3:56
Speaker 2: and tax rules and how to master your research to
3:59
Speaker 2: buy and track the right investments and all things that
4:02
Speaker 2: are really important, and also has a really big spotlight
4:05
Speaker 2: on why money and finances and investing is confusing on purpose,
4:11
Speaker 2: and why it's supposed to be like that and built
4:14
Speaker 2: to be like that so that not everyone's good at it,
4:17
Speaker 2: because if not everyone's good at it, then the richer
4:19
Speaker 2: get richer. You know, Yeah, it's supposed to exclude people
4:23
Speaker 2: by design. Exactly is the author Australian?
4:25
Speaker 1: I would need to double check because obviously, like the
4:28
Speaker 1: superannuation in Australia is its own unique yeah system, But
4:32
Speaker 1: still I think that regardless of where she's from. There
4:35
Speaker 1: would be like lessons and strategies and whatnot that you
4:39
Speaker 1: would be able to apply to no matter what your situation.
4:41
Speaker 2: So I like that does sound very refreshing.
4:44
Speaker 1: Like you said, My Obsession of the Week is a
4:46
Speaker 1: podcast recommendation and it's good Hang by Amy Poehler.
4:50
Speaker 2: Ah, you listened to it. I haven't listened to it,
4:53
Speaker 2: but i've seen clips. Yeah. Yeah.
4:55
Speaker 1: So it's a celebrity interview podcast and each week she
4:59
Speaker 1: has a different guest. She's interviewed like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez,
5:04
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, so many different people.
5:07
Speaker 2: Hailey Williams.
5:08
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite episodes, and she just
5:11
Speaker 1: has such a warm energy.
5:13
Speaker 2: Of course, she.
5:14
Speaker 1: Literally is joy. She's the voice of joy from inside out.
5:17
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you've never picked a better alignment in
5:20
Speaker 2: that casting, let me tell you exactly.
5:23
Speaker 1: But she's still obviously very funny and self deprecating, and
5:28
Speaker 1: because sometimes people who are just like sunshine rainbows all
5:31
Speaker 1: the time, I can't necessarily relate to. Yeah, but she
5:35
Speaker 1: is very, very funny and she's a great interviewer. I'm
5:38
Speaker 1: pretty sure she won the Golden Globe for the podcast, which,
5:43
Speaker 1: like podcasting being a category of the Golden Globes, is like, well,
5:47
Speaker 1: we really are in like a new era of life
5:50
Speaker 1: and living.
5:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I mean well deserved. Yeah.
5:54
Speaker 1: And in each episode one of my favorite segments that
5:57
Speaker 1: they do is at the beginning, they do a me
6:00
Speaker 1: the episode with someone who is close with the guests,
6:02
Speaker 1: so it could be someone they've worked with or a
6:04
Speaker 1: friend or whoever, and they talk nicely behind their back,
6:08
Speaker 1: so they have a little conversation about the subject of
6:11
Speaker 1: the interview and their relationship and things that maybe us
6:16
Speaker 1: as fans might not know, and then Amy asks them.
6:19
Speaker 2: To suggest a question to ask.
6:22
Speaker 1: So sometimes it's something like that will be inspired by
6:25
Speaker 1: a personal joke, or it's something that their friend knows
6:28
Speaker 1: that they're really passionate about but never get to talk about.
6:32
Speaker 2: So I really really like that.
6:33
Speaker 1: And the guests don't know who they've spoken to, or
6:36
Speaker 1: a lot of them I think haven't been briefed that
6:39
Speaker 1: they even spoke to somebody at all, so it's like
6:41
Speaker 1: a really nice surprise. And then the questions are usually
6:45
Speaker 1: pretty funny. That's so cute. Yeah, it's giving in like
6:49
Speaker 1: a wholesome way. Let's go around an as hearcle and
6:52
Speaker 1: tell each other what we love about each other. So, yeah,
6:54
Speaker 1: give it a listen. Shall I get into the episode?
6:56
Speaker 2: Let's jump in all right?
6:58
Speaker 1: Now?
6:58
Speaker 2: Tell me how do I my friend? I am the chick? Literally? Okay?
7:04
Speaker 1: So for me personally, I think that one of the
7:06
Speaker 1: signs that my frontal lobe has developed is some of
7:09
Speaker 1: the acquired tastes I've picked up.
7:11
Speaker 2: Over the years.
7:12
Speaker 1: And when I look back at the things that I
7:14
Speaker 1: used to enjoy eating all the stuff that I would
7:16
Speaker 1: be like, yuck. When I was younger, if I had
7:20
Speaker 1: like a crystal ball and I saw some of the
7:22
Speaker 1: things I enjoy now, I'd be.
7:23
Speaker 2: Like, what the fuck happened? Really?
7:26
Speaker 1: Yeah?
7:26
Speaker 2: Okay, So what did you used to eat when you
7:29
Speaker 2: were younger that you were like?
7:31
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved like, well, firstly, I was a
7:35
Speaker 1: vegetarian when I was little, So there's that.
7:37
Speaker 2: How little are we going?
7:39
Speaker 1: Like when I was like a kid and an early teen,
7:41
Speaker 1: I would say, okay, but you know, like I loved
7:45
Speaker 1: like a takeaway meal, which I still do, but that
7:49
Speaker 1: was like the height for me. Like going to macas
7:52
Speaker 1: was like the pinnacle. That would be my absolute favorite meal.
7:55
Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine like anything better than that. And when
7:58
Speaker 1: I was in my early twenties, I hated coffee and
8:02
Speaker 1: I would always be like, yuck, disgusting. I can't believe
8:06
Speaker 1: people drink that. It stains your teeth, it stunts your growth,
8:10
Speaker 1: blah blah. I didn't spend all this time with braces
8:12
Speaker 1: to stain my teeth with coffee, and I'd be like,
8:15
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine as well, like being addicted to caffeine.
8:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh what the fuck? And then fast forward.
8:22
Speaker 1: I think by the time I was maybe twenty five,
8:24
Speaker 1: I had a full blown coffee addiction.
8:27
Speaker 2: What do you mean had no?
8:29
Speaker 1: But I mean I had it right, and like you're
8:31
Speaker 1: still there girl, yeah, and.
8:33
Speaker 2: I love it. Flip side.
8:35
Speaker 1: Actually though, now is if you have a coffee addiction,
8:39
Speaker 1: you have an undeveloped frontal lobe because everyone's on like
8:42
Speaker 1: the d Cafe and march A train. Now apparently Marcher
8:45
Speaker 1: has as much as much caffeine and it as coffee.
8:48
Speaker 2: It's just the release different. Oh yeah, the release is slower.
8:51
Speaker 2: I think's not as like anxiety andjuicing. Yeah, I feel
8:55
Speaker 2: like there's coffee slander.
8:57
Speaker 1: There is at the moment yeahsaganda.
9:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's because everyone hates millennials and millennials alike.
9:06
Speaker 2: But first coffee, cofee, coffee cover coffee.
9:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, my first coffee, which like, yeah, as a millennial, guilty, guilty,
9:13
Speaker 1: luck me up, lock me up, yeah, BlimE me with
9:16
Speaker 1: pepper spray. But again, I think I also love coffee
9:19
Speaker 1: because of the routine and like making my coffee in
9:22
Speaker 1: the morning something really nice too. Like I was talking
9:25
Speaker 1: about this the other day and I was like, you
9:27
Speaker 1: want to know what thirty is and You're like what,
9:29
Speaker 1: And I was like, having a girl's night to watch
9:32
Speaker 1: Bridgeton and I have coke zero, no caffee, no sugar
9:35
Speaker 1: in the fridge. Yeah, that is turning there to be like.
9:39
Speaker 2: No, we cannot get a really good night's sleep tonight, Like.
9:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, a sign of its developed frontal lobe.
9:48
Speaker 1: It's being a bit boring. Yeah, you know, anyway, talk
9:51
Speaker 1: to me about these foods.
9:53
Speaker 2: So yeah, coffee obviously, olives, Oh yeah, can I add
9:58
Speaker 2: one pickles? Pickles was on my list?
10:02
Speaker 1: Love pickled everything. Yeah, I loved pickled onion. I love
10:07
Speaker 1: pickled pickles. I love pickled What else is it? Like?
10:11
Speaker 2: Kimchi? Yeah? Gingerum.
10:14
Speaker 1: Is that kimchi, I don't know ki cabbage, Oh, spicy cabbage.
10:19
Speaker 1: I believe I fuck with a pickle, like a pickled,
10:24
Speaker 1: like olive caps come medley like yum, so so good.
10:31
Speaker 1: Dark chocolate is one for me. Also, this is maybe
10:36
Speaker 1: a sign that my frontal lobe hasn't developed yet, but
10:39
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people. Is like an appreciation
10:41
Speaker 1: of a good glass of wine, and people can tell
10:44
Speaker 1: the difference between maybe a cheaper glass of wine and
10:48
Speaker 1: a good one. That's something that I haven't mastered yet,
10:50
Speaker 1: but I should do, like becoming.
10:52
Speaker 2: An experiment of Alin tastes. Yeah, of being like which
10:55
Speaker 2: one's the Aldi wine and which one's the expensive one?
10:58
Speaker 2: Because I'm not gonna lie. The Aldi wines are just
11:03
Speaker 2: as good as like a two hundred dollars bottle of wine,
11:05
Speaker 2: and I will die on that hill.
11:07
Speaker 1: Aren't some of the Aldi wines like award winning they're
11:11
Speaker 1: so good?
11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah?
11:12
Speaker 1: We were like when I used to live with two
11:15
Speaker 1: of my best friends. Every Sunday we did like our
11:18
Speaker 1: Aldi wine trip for the week, and we looked very
11:21
Speaker 1: questionable with how.
11:22
Speaker 2: Many bottles of wine we were buying for the week.
11:25
Speaker 2: And we get to Wednesday, we'd run out and be like, shit,
11:28
Speaker 2: it's not good.
11:28
Speaker 1: I was gonna be like, it's cost effective, but then
11:30
Speaker 1: it's notective. They're so affordable and they're so good that
11:36
Speaker 1: like ten out of ten. Yeah, And I would say
11:40
Speaker 1: an appreciation of Aldi in general is probably a sign
11:42
Speaker 1: that your frontal lobe has developed.
11:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't actually go out, you just go to Aldi.
11:47
Speaker 2: You as sign your frontal lobe has developed is you
11:50
Speaker 2: get the Aldi Special Buys booklet?
11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you actually enjoy it and a Wednesday morning
11:56
Speaker 1: is the highlight of your.
11:57
Speaker 2: Week Wednesday morning and a Saturday morning. Get me in there,
12:00
Speaker 2: Get me in that middle aisle right now, girl, Yeah,
12:02
Speaker 2: I want in Honestly, that's my club lineup. You know
12:06
Speaker 2: how you used to line up for the club. I
12:08
Speaker 2: line up for Aldi Special Bus. Literally I gay with that.
12:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're on my first name basis with the bouncer Gerry.
12:15
Speaker 2: How you do it's literally just an employee that's opening
12:18
Speaker 2: the roller door and they're like please, They're like, not
12:20
Speaker 2: tonight's sweetie. You know, I can get some of the
12:22
Speaker 2: special buyers on door dash now really, so you can
12:26
Speaker 2: get some of the Aldi Special Buys on door dash,
12:29
Speaker 2: which they're in my bad books at the moment, because
12:32
Speaker 2: I did like one order for the first time in
12:35
Speaker 2: like the whole year, because I'm not trying to choose
12:37
Speaker 2: meal delivery services, but I wasn't. I wasn't feeling very well,
12:41
Speaker 2: and so then I did one. It took two hours.
12:45
Speaker 2: I cried. I am that pathetic that I was that hungry.
12:51
Speaker 2: I cried. I feel like this always happens to you.
12:54
Speaker 2: It does, it does, and this is and I hate
12:59
Speaker 2: them are yeah, the universe being like, don't do it.
13:02
Speaker 2: This is what I get, like, remember this is why
13:05
Speaker 2: you left, And I'm like, okay.
13:07
Speaker 1: No, it's like a bad X. Keep going back until
13:10
Speaker 1: you learn the lesson.
13:11
Speaker 2: I know.
13:12
Speaker 1: And then I do think that the overarching sign that
13:17
Speaker 1: your frontal lobe has developed when it comes to taste
13:20
Speaker 1: and palette and things you enjoy is that food is
13:23
Speaker 1: better at home, Like a home cooked meal nine out
13:26
Speaker 1: of ten times is better than anything that you would
13:29
Speaker 1: get takeaway or eating out.
13:32
Speaker 2: You are so real for that and true and cheaper.
13:37
Speaker 1: Cheaper, better, you can really customize it to exactly what
13:40
Speaker 1: you want. And also a skill that I think you
13:42
Speaker 1: develop when your frontal lobe develops is that you can
13:46
Speaker 1: go into the fridge and cupboard and like whisked together
13:49
Speaker 1: some random fucking meal with pickles and with whatever, using
13:54
Speaker 1: everything that you've got left.
13:56
Speaker 2: And it's kind of pickles an aldie wine. That sounds
14:00
Speaker 2: like a great night. What a trio? What a what
14:04
Speaker 2: a treaty? If you will? If you will? I will?
14:08
Speaker 2: I will?
14:08
Speaker 1: Will you? When?
14:11
Speaker 2: Will you wear wigs? Do your wear weeks?
14:14
Speaker 1: No? I do not.
14:15
Speaker 2: Will you wear wigs?
14:17
Speaker 1: No? I will not.
14:18
Speaker 2: I love that.
14:19
Speaker 1: Okay, what's your what's your sign that your frontal lobe
14:22
Speaker 1: has developed? Okay, kind of following on on that train,
14:26
Speaker 1: is that my sign that your frontal lobe has developed
14:30
Speaker 1: is that you've become a homebody?
14:32
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. So this segment is brought to you
14:34
Speaker 2: by our sponsor, Harris Scarf, who has a bunch of
14:39
Speaker 2: home goodies to invest in your home and reach your
14:42
Speaker 2: final evolution of said homebody. But I just feel like
14:47
Speaker 2: there becomes a moment usually between like your third attempt
14:50
Speaker 2: at a morning routine and like your first genuine craving
14:55
Speaker 2: for a good sofa, where something shifts, you know what
14:59
Speaker 2: I mean, Like it's not your style, it's not your salary,
15:02
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit your salary, but it's the frontal lobe,
15:06
Speaker 2: and it's kind of like what you're saying, being like
15:08
Speaker 2: when you realize that what you cook at home is
15:10
Speaker 2: better than what you can get a takeaway. This development
15:13
Speaker 2: arrives with a craving for cozy bedding, not like louder nights,
15:20
Speaker 2: but quiet and softer and more intentional ones because like
15:24
Speaker 2: burnout is, she's rising and rest quality rest is definitely decreasing. Yeah,
15:31
Speaker 2: and in twenty twenty two, most adults actually spent an
15:35
Speaker 2: hour and thirty nine minutes more at home per day
15:39
Speaker 2: compared to two thousand and three.
15:41
Speaker 1: Wow. Crazy, Yeah, that is I do think probably a
15:47
Speaker 1: lot of that maybe has to do with that girl
15:51
Speaker 1: COVID no and she.
15:54
Speaker 2: Did her moment, she had a big thing. But yeah,
15:56
Speaker 2: thirty five percent of adults report a decreased desire. Did
16:00
Speaker 2: I say it like that is I desire? But thirty
16:03
Speaker 2: five percent of adults report a decreased desire to leave
16:07
Speaker 2: the house. We're just as statistic, and there was a
16:14
Speaker 2: Life at Home report that reveals forty three percent of
16:17
Speaker 2: Australians feel more positive about their home in twenty twenty
16:20
Speaker 2: two than they did in twenty twenty one, and this
16:23
Speaker 2: sense of optimism is significantly higher than the global average
16:27
Speaker 2: of thirty seven percent. So Ossies love their home, We
16:32
Speaker 2: love to be at home. We're investing more into our
16:34
Speaker 2: space es. Aussies have a developed front low proud of us.
16:39
Speaker 2: I know, go ass, I continue, I digress. So they
16:43
Speaker 2: surveyed over thirty seven thousand people in thirty seven countries,
16:46
Speaker 2: including Australia, and found that sixty five percent of Australians
16:49
Speaker 2: feel their home reflects who they are and sixty eight
16:52
Speaker 2: percent feel like they can be themselves at home. So
16:56
Speaker 2: this is what comes into this whole segment, is like
16:59
Speaker 2: investing your home to be a reflection of like who
17:02
Speaker 2: you are and what you love and where you feel
17:05
Speaker 2: safe and cozy and beautiful is truly about unlocking joy,
17:12
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, the simple pleasures in
17:14
Speaker 2: life as well, like let me let me set the scene.
17:20
Speaker 2: Yeah all rightyay, no plans. No one's locking off the
17:25
Speaker 2: group chat and being like we're doing this, we're doing that.
17:28
Speaker 2: You don't have to decline plants. The plans of doing
17:31
Speaker 2: nothing are already set in stone. That's the plan. Yeah,
17:34
Speaker 2: you have an everything shower. Right, you're making a vodka
17:39
Speaker 2: pasta rigatoni. The new season of one of your favorite
17:43
Speaker 2: shows has dropped. And then once that's done, with your
17:46
Speaker 2: freshly shaved legs, you get into a freshly made bed.
17:52
Speaker 2: Now we're talking and like we're kind of saying at
17:55
Speaker 2: the top of this episode, we have to go through
17:58
Speaker 2: the undeveloped era of the frontal lobe to appreciate the
18:02
Speaker 2: developed era. Oh yeah.
18:04
Speaker 1: I think for the first two years that I lived
18:06
Speaker 1: out of home, when I was like twenty one, I
18:08
Speaker 1: slept on a mattress on the floor. Yeah. Sorry what Yeah,
18:13
Speaker 1: and then my upgrade from that was not a bed frame,
18:18
Speaker 1: but like wooden sites.
18:20
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we've all been there.
18:22
Speaker 1: We've seen the pinterest exactly, which I was like, oh
18:25
Speaker 1: my god, it's like love it, Like I'm really living
18:31
Speaker 1: like my Brooklyn Loft fantasy.
18:33
Speaker 2: Oh my god, glebe like it's the gossip Girl effect.
18:37
Speaker 2: It is.
18:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so investing in like good bedding and
18:42
Speaker 1: a nice bed frame, or even stuff like good quality
18:45
Speaker 1: pots and pants and knives. Yeah.
18:48
Speaker 2: Do you want to know, you know your frontal lobes developed,
18:49
Speaker 2: you buy stainless steel pots and pants. Yeah, you buy
18:53
Speaker 2: good quality sheets, you have an air fry that actually works,
18:57
Speaker 2: and a coffee machine that makes good coffee. Yeah, and
19:01
Speaker 2: these little things they make all the difference. And I
19:05
Speaker 2: do think we like. The moment that I was like, okay,
19:09
Speaker 2: I think we're in the development stage was that I
19:12
Speaker 2: stopped enjoying just having shit in my apartment, like the
19:17
Speaker 2: clutter of stuff. I don't want any more stuff in
19:20
Speaker 2: my apartment.
19:21
Speaker 1: Whereas like I grew up and appreciated the error that
19:25
Speaker 1: was YouTube of like halls and having a billion lipstick
19:29
Speaker 1: shades and trying all these different things, or like having
19:33
Speaker 1: lots of candles or I don't even know right, yeah,
19:36
Speaker 1: And whereas now I'm kind of just like, whenever I
19:38
Speaker 1: want to buy something, I really think, well, where's that
19:41
Speaker 1: going to go?
19:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, because as a renting girly, there's not that much
19:46
Speaker 2: space and my frontal lobe development. And this is just
19:50
Speaker 2: personally for me. Everyone is different. Some people really like
19:53
Speaker 2: the dopamine like dopamine decor of having lots and lots
19:56
Speaker 2: of things, but for me, it was realizing that I
19:59
Speaker 2: actually don't need all this stuff and it doesn't make
20:01
Speaker 2: me feel calmer at home, like the clutter equals chaos
20:05
Speaker 2: in my mind, and unless I've got a clean and
20:09
Speaker 2: calm space, I'm not happy in my home. And I
20:13
Speaker 2: want to be happy my home because I just want
20:14
Speaker 2: to stay at home. Exactly. It's a beautiful, beautiful cycle. Exactly.
20:20
Speaker 2: What's been some of your favorite home investments.
20:23
Speaker 1: Robovac for sure like an absolute life saver. It really
20:29
Speaker 1: does save you a lot of time. And I love
20:32
Speaker 1: the fact that I kind of feel like a little
20:34
Speaker 1: witch when I have it running because I feel like
20:36
Speaker 1: I'm Missus Weasley or something like cooking dinner and he's
20:39
Speaker 1: just in the background getting stuff done.
20:40
Speaker 2: I absolutely love that.
20:43
Speaker 1: Definitely, like some of the pots and pans that we've
20:45
Speaker 1: invested in, like I think I bought them maybe ten
20:47
Speaker 1: years ago or when I first moved in with Chris,
20:49
Speaker 1: and we still have them.
20:51
Speaker 2: My coffee machine need.
20:53
Speaker 1: It honestly change my life, Like when every single day
20:56
Speaker 1: buying a coffee and now that's like a nice little
20:58
Speaker 1: treat on the week, which I think has even made
21:02
Speaker 1: me appreciate that more and save so much time and
21:04
Speaker 1: money in the mornings too. One thousand percent and coffee
21:07
Speaker 1: machine literally saves you thousands of dollars every year.
21:11
Speaker 2: It's a ten out of ten for me. It's definitely
21:14
Speaker 2: like sheets and good quality bedding is a frontal lobe
21:19
Speaker 2: developed purchase for me, Like, as someone who only recently
21:24
Speaker 2: learnt the difference between good quality sheets, it's actually not
21:27
Speaker 2: thread count but long fibers and short fibers. Yeap, that
21:32
Speaker 2: blew my mind. Oh do you know what else? I love?
21:35
Speaker 2: A good fan?
21:37
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a good fan, a good heater one And
21:40
Speaker 1: like this is so nerdy, but like energy ratings, you
21:44
Speaker 1: don't like having a developed frontal lobe. Is you actually
21:49
Speaker 1: care about that because you notice how much it affects
21:52
Speaker 1: your electricity bill? Like if you're sitting there being like,
21:54
Speaker 1: why is my electricity bill so expensive?
21:57
Speaker 2: It's because of the energy ratings of your appliance is
22:00
Speaker 2: and I'm literally my final form is actually becoming my
22:04
Speaker 2: dad and being like, turn the lights off, it's gonna
22:07
Speaker 2: well the energy. But oh my god, has happened. Yeah,
22:10
Speaker 2: so we've made it literally sorry to every dad in
22:14
Speaker 2: the universe. Yeah for us all making fun of you.
22:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, so did you say that Australians are apparently the
22:21
Speaker 1: only people who keep their energy rating stickers on their appliances?
22:26
Speaker 2: No one else in the world does that?
22:28
Speaker 1: What? Yeah, so like the energy sticker on the fridge
22:33
Speaker 1: or in your washing machine. People everywhere else in the
22:35
Speaker 1: world people take it and then they saw like I
22:39
Speaker 1: think an American or something. I'll find the original TikTok
22:42
Speaker 1: and I'll put it in the show notes. But yeah,
22:45
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh my god, like this is
22:47
Speaker 1: so cute and funny. Australians keep the energy sticker and
22:50
Speaker 1: I think maybe New Zealanders do it too, But I
22:52
Speaker 1: was like.
22:53
Speaker 2: Shit, why do we do that? I don't know.
22:56
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take it off though, either, Like
22:58
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go home and take it off.
23:01
Speaker 2: Just I feel like it's a comfort thing, my friend patriotic.
23:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how else would I know what its energy
23:07
Speaker 1: rating is exactly? I could look it up exactly. People
23:10
Speaker 1: would be like literally google it.
23:12
Speaker 2: But no, oh, I hate that. I know it's part
23:15
Speaker 2: of lot yep. Okay. Well that does bring us to
23:19
Speaker 2: today's partner Harroscarf, a destination that feels increasingly essential in
23:24
Speaker 2: this new stage of life, stocking heritage and cult name
23:29
Speaker 2: brands like Sheridan, Linen House, Ninja, Scanpan, and so many more.
23:34
Speaker 2: Harriscaff is the quiet authority on everyday luxury, the kind
23:38
Speaker 2: that you feel not flaunt. So yeah, definitely check them
23:43
Speaker 2: out as the place you visit not to impress others,
23:45
Speaker 2: but to just elevate your daily rituals and your home.
23:49
Speaker 2: Love that frontal lobe developed. Tick, go to print.
23:54
Speaker 1: All right, moving on to this next sign that your
23:57
Speaker 1: frontal lobe has developed and it's prioritizing over perception.
24:01
Speaker 2: Ooh. I don't know if this is.
24:03
Speaker 1: Like a part of growing up, but I have seen
24:06
Speaker 1: it a lot on TikTok as well, like people who
24:09
Speaker 1: are like I know that my frontal lobe develops because
24:12
Speaker 1: I look at some of the things that I used
24:14
Speaker 1: to wear, like the really tight pieces, or like the
24:17
Speaker 1: really big shoes, or like the huge earrings, and I'm like,
24:21
Speaker 1: I can't do it anymore, or at least not all
24:25
Speaker 1: the time, and like reaching for things that are baggier
24:30
Speaker 1: and comfier, and that I just find that something that
24:34
Speaker 1: feels comfortable is where I feel the most confident. Do
24:37
Speaker 1: you feel the same, Yeah, Like when I look back
24:40
Speaker 1: at stuff that I used to wear, like to the
24:41
Speaker 1: club in my early twenties, and I don't know if
24:44
Speaker 1: this is also maybe a just like a style and
24:47
Speaker 1: trend thing too. But I would be wearing like huge,
24:51
Speaker 1: huge platforms and massive heels and I could really push
24:55
Speaker 1: through the pain, but I was uncomfortable all night long,
24:58
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the night, I'd be
25:00
Speaker 1: like taking off my shoes and I'd be covered in
25:02
Speaker 1: blisters and whatever.
25:03
Speaker 2: But I was like, I'm committed to it for the law.
25:05
Speaker 2: And do you think it was more like I'm dressing
25:07
Speaker 2: for others rather than for myself.
25:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, because I'm five to one and so that's
25:13
Speaker 1: always been a big insecurity for me is my height.
25:16
Speaker 1: So I'd be going out wearing huge platform shoes and
25:20
Speaker 1: I used to do that at UNI as well, or
25:21
Speaker 1: even if I was just like out for a walk,
25:23
Speaker 1: I'd wear like stacked creepers instead of a sneaker. You know,
25:27
Speaker 1: I was just embarrassed that I would look short, which
25:29
Speaker 1: now that I look back, I'm like, nobody cares about that.
25:33
Speaker 1: Nobody's looking at your height and judging you.
25:35
Speaker 2: And if they are, like, that's so weird. Yeah, like
25:38
Speaker 2: that's really really bizarre.
25:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I do think there are things that you
25:42
Speaker 1: will wear that maybe aren't super comfortable, But again, you're
25:45
Speaker 1: wearing it because it makes you feel like a version
25:49
Speaker 1: of yourself that you like. And it's not like, oh
25:51
Speaker 1: this is cool or somebody's going to think that I'm
25:53
Speaker 1: hot or attractive. It's like I feel hot contact. So
25:57
Speaker 1: that's why I'm willing to wear something that maybe is
25:59
Speaker 1: a little bit uncomfortable.
26:00
Speaker 2: But like, comfort is different to everyone. I know so
26:03
Speaker 2: many people that can literally wear a heel the entire
26:07
Speaker 2: day and then not bothered one bit. Totally. It's not
26:10
Speaker 2: actually about the physical notion of comfort. It's like what
26:16
Speaker 2: makes you feel good.
26:17
Speaker 1: And there's like a socio emotional theory that explains this
26:21
Speaker 1: as well. Apparently as you get older, you perceive that
26:26
Speaker 1: you have less time and therefore you care less about
26:30
Speaker 1: what other people think.
26:31
Speaker 2: That lock me in. That is a developed frontal lobe.
26:34
Speaker 2: You don't give a fuck.
26:35
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, And yeah, I think that goes either way,
26:39
Speaker 1: whether that's like you wear heels to the office or
26:43
Speaker 1: to go grocery shopping and you're like, I don't care
26:45
Speaker 1: if people think that I'm too much, or if you
26:48
Speaker 1: rock up wearing like a really baggy pair of jeans
26:50
Speaker 1: and thongs, Like it's basically that you are approaching how
26:57
Speaker 1: you dress and how you present yourself to reflect how
26:59
Speaker 1: you feel inside, not to cater for other people's perceptions
27:03
Speaker 1: of you.
27:04
Speaker 2: I love that. There's like a quote that kind of
27:06
Speaker 2: ties that in, and it's like the don't set yourself
27:09
Speaker 2: on fire to keep others warm, which you know, you
27:12
Speaker 2: can probably pull that into a multiple of other scenarios
27:15
Speaker 2: of like, you know, going out of your way for
27:17
Speaker 2: people that don't deserve it, or being kind to those
27:20
Speaker 2: who aren't kind to you as well. But I think
27:21
Speaker 2: it applies to this as well, of being like, don't
27:24
Speaker 2: go above and beyond for the make belief, perception and
27:27
Speaker 2: opinions of other people that don't even matter, you know.
27:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, my last sign that your frontal lobe has
27:35
Speaker 1: developed is that you stop finding dopamine in chaos and
27:40
Speaker 1: self sabotaging.
27:42
Speaker 2: No more just doing it for the plot. Yeah, Like
27:46
Speaker 2: rewinds like five years ago when we're doing this, and
27:49
Speaker 2: I was like, do it for the plot, do it
27:50
Speaker 2: for the plot, Fuck it up, get it out. The
27:53
Speaker 2: plot's done. We're at the end of their book now. Also,
27:57
Speaker 2: we need some lulls in the way, we need.
27:59
Speaker 1: The reconcilly all right, that's fine, And again this ties
28:03
Speaker 1: into the whole thing of being like we need undeveloped errors.
28:08
Speaker 1: But it's like we were talking about this and talking
28:11
Speaker 1: about you know, a couple friends, and there are so
28:14
Speaker 1: many theories around why you feel the need to sometimes
28:18
Speaker 1: blow things up because you need change, and that actually
28:20
Speaker 1: comes from anxiety, and feeling anxious in situations is actually
28:24
Speaker 1: what causes you to feel calmer and like you've got
28:28
Speaker 1: things more put together by creating chaos and babe, Like
28:32
Speaker 1: if you find yourself always picking fights, or you're always
28:35
Speaker 1: angry with a friend, or your job just is always
28:39
Speaker 1: the wrong job, or something's always wrong, Like that's an
28:42
Speaker 1: anxiety response and sabotaging things in your life, whether it's
28:46
Speaker 1: you know, relationships that you have, whether it's your job,
28:50
Speaker 1: whether it's your friends, whatever it is, and you constantly
28:52
Speaker 1: feel the need to like blow things up and move
28:55
Speaker 1: overseas or drastically.
28:57
Speaker 2: Change jobs, or cut your hair, get bangs, whatever it is.
29:01
Speaker 1: It's actually a response to your anxiety and not actually
29:05
Speaker 1: what the world is happening around you. Yeah, it's like
29:09
Speaker 1: a force distraction, Like you create this chaos so that
29:13
Speaker 1: you can distract yourself with that and maybe point the
29:16
Speaker 1: things rather.
29:17
Speaker 2: Than looking at yourself rather than what you're actually feeling, which, yeah.
29:21
Speaker 1: Maybe you are always chasing after like the wrong type
29:25
Speaker 1: of person because it would be scarier to end up
29:28
Speaker 1: with the right type of person, which on paper could
29:30
Speaker 1: be a little bit on your own, yeah, or be
29:33
Speaker 1: on your own or go yeah with somebody who on
29:36
Speaker 1: paper they might be a bit boring. But then as
29:40
Speaker 1: a result, like you maybe have to be a little
29:42
Speaker 1: bit more vulnerable or get a little bit more effort
29:44
Speaker 1: into that relationship, or if.
29:46
Speaker 2: You have more to lose, back to what I would do,
29:49
Speaker 2: like I would be like I would date the wrong people.
29:51
Speaker 1: So that was always exciting and busy and amazing, but
29:55
Speaker 1: it actually was like an avoidance strategy of spending time
29:59
Speaker 1: on my own, yeah, and just being alone and enjoying
30:02
Speaker 1: that time. And also if you're in a relationship that
30:06
Speaker 1: is chaotic, it's less scary to lose. You're like whatever,
30:10
Speaker 1: like good, Yeah, chaos doesn't equal passion, you know, like
30:13
Speaker 1: you can find passion instill and calm moments.
30:17
Speaker 2: You don't need chaos. Yeah, you were always really really.
30:20
Speaker 1: Good at recognizing when someone's self sabotaging, which I know
30:24
Speaker 1: you never want to be sitting on like a pedestal
30:26
Speaker 1: and be like, but you can just see it, like
30:28
Speaker 1: because we've all been there, and maybe that's what it is.
30:31
Speaker 1: It's like you can recognize behaviors that you or people
30:34
Speaker 1: in your life have had, and you're like, Okay, I
30:35
Speaker 1: can see what's happening. What would your advice be to
30:38
Speaker 1: someone if they're like I feel like I have a friend,
30:41
Speaker 1: you know, they're I feel like they're self sabotaging.
30:43
Speaker 2: What would your advice be?
30:46
Speaker 1: Well, part of it is that obviously give them as
30:48
Speaker 1: much advice, but sometimes they do need to blow shit
30:51
Speaker 1: up to face the consequences and realize that maybe the
30:55
Speaker 1: alternative is actually what they want. I do think that
30:59
Speaker 1: people have to learn these things, but also like ask them,
31:02
Speaker 1: like what would the alternative be or what do they
31:05
Speaker 1: really want out of the situation?
31:07
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, what's the ideal scenario?
31:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they do want to like move overseas and
31:13
Speaker 1: like completely you know, change their life, It's like.
31:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be really cool, but what are you hoping.
31:17
Speaker 1: To get out of that experience? And maybe why couldn't
31:20
Speaker 1: you get those things here? Or like same in a relationship,
31:23
Speaker 1: like what do you actually want out of the relationship.
31:26
Speaker 1: And I think if you ask them those like straightforward questions,
31:30
Speaker 1: sometimes those things will reveal themselves.
31:32
Speaker 2: That's good advice. Hmm.
31:34
Speaker 1: Well that's a wrap on another episode of.
31:36
Speaker 2: Two bro Chicks.
31:37
Speaker 1: Thanks for having us in your well developed ear. Yes, chickies,
31:42
Speaker 1: we absolutely I hope everyone's feeling very frontal lobe developed.
31:46
Speaker 2: Vibe.
31:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let us know the signs of your frontal
31:49
Speaker 1: lobe has developed in the comments, because, like we said,
31:51
Speaker 1: this is so unique.
31:53
Speaker 2: The more unhinged, the better I love it.
31:55
Speaker 1: We want to hear it for everyone, Pickles for all
31:59
Speaker 1: young That just made me really hungry, and thanks again
32:02

32:06
