  Speaker 1: really up my alley, you know, because life moves fast.

• 0:41

  Speaker 1: sadly about it. Love my life. Tell me your obsession
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of the week.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, my obsession of the week is that toe rings
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: are back.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: How do you feel? I feel invigorated and confused. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: loved a toe ring back in the day.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: The reason why, in my mature age I questioned a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: toe ring is I never.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Washed that motherfucker. That thing stayed on my toe twenty
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: four to seven.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So I'm interested, but I also question where the feet
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: jewelry has a place in my routine. Now, yeah, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: understand that that thing would have been a germy little
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: thing and imagine that in your bed.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Sorry, talk me through. Taught me through the toe ring,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the toe ring, me through the toy ring.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: A brief history of the toe ring. Yeah, I mean
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: we cover the important things on the show. But yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: like you said, I think a lot of us would
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: remember wearing toe rings in the two thousands.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: They had a huge time to shine back again. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I loved them. Many toe rings would you wear on
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: one foot? Just one? Okay, just one? Keep it classy,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Keep it classy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I have seen them style though on Pinterest, like with
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: multiple and it actually looks really cool. I think it
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just depends on It's like any.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Sort of rings, long toes.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I think you'd be able to do a good ring
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: stack on the absolutely do a ring stack on my toe.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Not going to I mean, we'll see.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: But I saw on Who What Where they were reporting
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: that the trend is back, and they were saying that
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Leandra Madrine Cohen, who is like a New York writer
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and it's Allen's sister.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, precisely. Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Not included in the show posted a photo of her
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: wearing havianas and a toe ring.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I see it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Now, I see it and I like it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And she had actually released a line of toe
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: rings with this luxury label brand that I hadn't heard of,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: befo for a Flalo aflal o. How much is a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: toe This one was expensive and the style of toe
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: rings that has been coming back since this launch are
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: more like I think it was a.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Diamond toe ring. Perhaps you've lost me. I was with you. Yeah,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I said, keep going, and then I said stop.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: We've also seen toe rings with other brands like Simuero
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and Chanlu. So these are brands that are based in
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the States, and the toe rings have like gems and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: jewels on them, like they almost look like, you know
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: how a chunky diamond ring.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Is very much in fashion. Start making my toe green.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want it. Just kidding, but I just want
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to confirm.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So the a Flalo Bethany toe ring in gold plated
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: silver is three thousand dollars.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Three thousand dollars for a toe ring.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And this was reported on Who What Where? So I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: believe that would be in US day wording.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Was it like, look at this stunning toe ring, or
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was it like.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: So they've written this article that I read like, Yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: so they've written this article that toe rings are back,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and then they've included a few different examples under shop
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: toe rings. That's the first option for three thousand dollars.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: The next one from sim Can I see what.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: The three thousand dollars one looks like?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Bruh, that's a fucking engagement.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Ring on so that I can like explain it's literally
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it's literally.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: An engagement ring on your toe.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It's got a thin gold band and a circular pH
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: fat diamond on it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some that I have seen that look cool though,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like vibe sham.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: This one from Simuero, which is the Duner toe ring,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: is one hundred and eighty dollars, still very expensive, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: that's cool. I think like that's more in that sort
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of boho vibe. This one, the chan Luke Grease crystal
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: toe ring in emerald, is also like that gemstone vibe.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's really interesting because obviously we're in winter
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and it has been a very cold and rainy winter
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: in Australia. So when I was doing my research. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: was like, I wonder if this has popped up on
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the iconic and whatnot or the likes of Sendre and
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: whatnot in Australia, and it hasn't. And it hasn't, So
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see a spring and summer thing that
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: will come through in a couple of months or if
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the Aussies won't get around it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's your obsession, I'll make mine quick and easy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: It is me your friendly reminder to get pet insurance
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: yet again.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: At this current point in term, my single one cat
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: has cost over twelve thousand dollars. Oh my god, I.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Have paid one thousand dollars of that, which was then
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: split with my partner.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's amazing exactly.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I literally cannot be more of a post child for
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: bet insurance if I tried. Yeah, because over the weekend
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: our cat got sick, binksy girl like literal love of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: my life and firstborn child. We ended up rushing her
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to the emergency Vet, which upon arrival is a three
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five dollar fee upon arrival. Then she
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: got checked out and they decided to admit her and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: run a blood test, an ultrasound and whatever other tests
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: as well as hook her up on an IV drip
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and also she had to stay in overnight.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: This came to a cost of five thousand dollars for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: one vet trip.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Really. Yeah, And whilst that can definitely be a scare
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: tactic to be like get it, get that one hundred percent,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah, what was more important to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: me was the fact that we could sit there and say, yes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Do what you need to do.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do every time, do every single thing because we
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: love her so much that there was no part that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I had to stand in an office crying because I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: couldn't afford to know what was wrong with her. Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And it just literally breaks my heart that there are
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: situations that people end up like that in And I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: just again, like, every single time this happens, I'm gonna
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: like stand on a soapbox and literally scream me and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: like please because we pay forty three dollars a month,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: we pay forty three dollars a month, and she's insured
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: for up to thirty thousand dollars.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: When I signed up for that, did I think I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: would get to halfway? Yeah? No, But that's the joys
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of insurance. You never think you're gonna fucking need it,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and then you're like, ooh.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is exactly Yeah, that is just my obsession
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of the week.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Get pet insurance. Anyway, get into the episode shell Luis.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, getting into six days you need every single month.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So these are the days that you're gonna schedule. You
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: can put them wherever you like, any order you wish.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Bob's your uncle.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: But the first day you're going to schedule in your month,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and probably the most obvious is you'll get shit done day.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Get shit done day. So this is the day you
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: tackle your grown up checklist.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And the things that are on this day are reoccurring tasks, right,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So it's the stuff that doesn't feel very glamorous but
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: will free up a lot of mental space by doing so.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: My suggestion is to put this at the start of
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the month so that for the rest of the month
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it's out of your mind. You don't have to stress
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Get it out of the way.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is things like paying bills, organizing your finances,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: checking in your side hustle or freelance projects, filing receipts
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: or emails.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You've been ignoring all that stuff that you're like.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, and it's all the stuff that when
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: you're falling asleep at night, No, you're like, I've got
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: to need to pay that bill. Oh, I need to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: set up that recurring payment. Oh I need to email
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: this person back. Like these are all those things that
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: will weigh on your mind and you'll feel so much
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: better if you just get.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Them out the way at the beginning of the month.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: You will literally have the dive from mein Hit of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the Century and I as well lining up your bills
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to all come out on that day. Especially because a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: lot of us get paid either on the last day
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the month or the first day of the month,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it makes it a lot easier. I would recommend putting
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this day when you get paid, so that way all
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of it can all of it can come out of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: your account. So if you get paid monthly, put it
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: on that day. If you get paid fortnightly, have it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: on like the second of that fortnight that you get.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Paid, so you can kind of work it out that way.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: But I like to think of it as like your
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: ADMIN day, because one focused day means you're not stressed
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: about money or paperwork for the other thirty days of
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the month. And I was reading this article and it's
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: quite interesting because it referred to things like this as
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: invisible labor and the reason why we avoid it or
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: put it into like the too hard basket, or it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the thing that wakes us up at three am and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: we're like whoo is because labor is invisible. You can't
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: physically see it there, right.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And it's not like decluttering exactly.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: It's not like your laundry sitting in the corner, or
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: like meal prepping on.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: A Sunday, right.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Invisible labor is a term used for things that you're
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: not physically seen doing. So physical admin is like laundry, meal, prope,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But invisible labor is often things
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: spent on a computer, like setting up insurance. Hey yat.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But what you can do is by giving it a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: name and by writing it down and making it a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: physical thing, or by giving it a structure like a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: get shit done day. Giving it that name can help
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: stop putting this off and procrastinating these life admin tasks. Yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: turning it into that routine and a ritual almost so
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: by naming it your get shit done day, having it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on a specific day of the month that you do
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: every single month.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But also you can.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Tie it with you listen to a specific playlist every
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: single time you do that, or you always make a
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: really delicious beverage with like a plate of cookies on
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the side croissant or chocky croissant, like be like, this
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: is the day, and these are the nice things that
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I get to do while I get my shit done.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And do you know what, as well, I found that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: my get shit dune day doesn't take the whole day. No,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it'll maybe take the morning, do you know.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It takes the whole day When you procrastinate around it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: That's when it actually takes the whole day. Because it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: on your mind the.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Whole frequently and regularly you do it as well, the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: easier it will be.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just but that's why you need to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: do it every month.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It's getting started and turning it into that monthly routine.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: The first get shit dune day will probably be the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: longest one, yeah, because you're pulling everything in, you're making
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a sexy spreadsheet and you're doing all that fun stuff.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You're looking at insurances and I don't know, but I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: get a little bit of a kick out of being
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: like a good adult. Yeah, do you know what I mean?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: You feel like you've got your shit together? Yeah?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, Day number two, potentially my favorite day is your
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: zero agenda slash antisocial day.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Picture this. You wake up, rollover and nothing's on the calendar.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: No brunch, no meetings, no obligations, no christening for your
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: second cousins, first baby of your uncle removed.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Don't know if that was intest. This is the day
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: where you.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Are completely off the hook permission granted. Do you know
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: that feeling when you have a sick day and everyone's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: working and you're like, this is the best day ever.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I like to call it my rot day.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I felt like zero agenda day was a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: little bit more sparkly. But it's to me, I'm a rot. Yeah,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: this is the rot day of the month. So rotting
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: is obviously the new slang term of gen z, you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: hip kids. I know, but I think oftentimes it does
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: have kind of negative connotations to it, and a lot
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of you know, content that comes up on my feed
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: is like anti rot agenda or how to get out
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of your rotting and blah blah blah blah blah, and yes,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: like rotting every day is not good for our brain,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: but it does have its perks. So Courtney DeAngelis a
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: psychologist at New York Columbia University told Health that in
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: small doses, it can calm the body and help is
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: stress and.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Exhaustion, which I'm like, yeahs makes sense.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: We love that, But I also love when a psychologist
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: tells me it's okay.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. The proof is in the book. But a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: doctor said, I actually have to go to bed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really can't come to work. Got a rot yeah,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: doctor DeAngelis said. So it helps to feel like we
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: have permission to rest. So simply having one day, like
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: one day in your mind is so reasonable. We very
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: often and don't get rest because we feel bad about
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: having rest. Whereas when you're looking at it like okay,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this is my one day to just detach, do nothing
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and to have more, I encourage, right, Like, I'm not
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: saying just have one day that you have zero agenda.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Have fucking fifteen if you want, you know, but at
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: least have one.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: At least have one where you're just giving your brain
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a break from constant planning and restore your creativity and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: your rest, and it will just lower your burnout and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: give you a reset button to be like Okay, I'm back. Yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Like I need one of these, like every weekend.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Well, there have been talks that we may potentially be
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: trialing like a four day work week.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: In Australia and we've been trialing. We've been talking about that,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I know, but god, that really long time.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And in the UK they tested it as well as
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the productivity went higher. Yeah, so it definitely would have
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a positive impact. So I do wish that we had
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: a third day every single weekend to do this.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: When I've committed to a zero agenda day, it's the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: best day ever. So I've compiled a little list of
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: how to have the perfect rot day.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Number one, the environment.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Gotta be cozy, gotta be clean, and bonus points if
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: it's raining outside, yeah, preferably a thunderstorm. Number two, leave
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the matching set and get the favorite jumper.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I know we all have a favorite.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Jumper that is like potentially like seven years old and
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: has about three Puster stains on it. That is the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: jumper we're wearing on a rot day. We're not here
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to look cute, We're here to be comfy, all right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I want truly the coziest, most relaxing outfit.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Because this isn't this isn't for esthetics, this isn't for
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: us whole.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I imagine like Harry and Ron on Christmas morning vibes,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: like little stripy pair of pants with a knitter jumper.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, please, okay, three big girl toys. Get your
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: head out of the gutter. You can. You can put
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: that in this list if I do as good as
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like, don't lie.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I do, But I'm talking like Kindles, projectors, a strong movie, lineup, Pinterest,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: set up on the iPad, shopping on the laptop, get.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Your big girl toys all lined up, and being like,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: what do I want to do? What should I do?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll scroll on Pinterest, or maybe I want to movie,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: or maybe I'll do all three at the same time. Yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you know usually the way. Okay, number four the food
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: favorites only. Mm okay. I don't want to fucking hear
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a word about calorie deficits or health or macros or
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: getting your protein. Do you know what?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I actually encourage no protein meals on this day because
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that is where I find my joy. I'm talking vodka
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: pasta rigatoni I'm talking marvelous Creation's chocolate block like and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: everything bagel with all.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You can eat cream, cheese, potentially halapinio. Obviously, you have.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Four permission to also uber eat every single item or
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: dawd ash or takeaway.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Now, there is also a little amendment to this. Theres
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a four a right. This is also multiple drinks at
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: all times. Now.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: You never start one drink, finish it and move to
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the next one. You must consume the multiple drinks in total,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: in tandem.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: In tandem. So maybe you'll have a little sippy crispy coke.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe then you'll go back to your rice coffee. Oh,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: maybe a little water.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You've got to have your divert multiple drinks at all times.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't make the rules.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: And five and kind of what we were saying before
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: a commitment to the rot. Do not let the outside
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: world disturb your slumber. Okay, you are sleeping, beauty. Everyone
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: outside might be like battling a five billion foot dragon.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: You're rotting.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: That's fine to none of your business.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: But that's my rot day agenda. I love that, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm actually in it. I'm like, should I do that?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: This weekend? Definitely. Okay.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Moving on to day number three, this one is your
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: treat your self day.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: There's many iterations that this day can be, right, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: basically this one's for joy. It's about nourishing the parts
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: of you that simply want, not need. Right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: This is the.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Day that you book a facial or a haircut or
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: a massage, or you buy the thing that you wanted
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to buy, or you go out for a really nice
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: dinner or even dinner. You know, you get an ice cream,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: you go to the movies, something that is simply just fun.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Yep. You know, maybe you have a little bit of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: a glow up day.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I recently developed a glow up draw
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: in my bathroom and it's just filled with all the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: things that I do to like feel good and be
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: like yeah, either like slaying boots her house down feels hot,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: or just like need a little bit of a pampering
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: hair mask, face mask factan.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: The works, eyebrow acts if you will.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I also want to preface this that like a treat
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: yourself day does not necessarily mean spending money, Like it
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: can just be doing something.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: That really brings you joy and that you really really
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Do, like giving yourself a facial at home, having a
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: really nice, luxurious bath with like all of your little
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: lotions and motions that usually you're like, oh, I won't
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: use them tonight, like they're too specials, like give yourself
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: attention on that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Day, use the special thing whatever that is. Yes, I
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: love that. What would you do on your treat your
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: self day?
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Get a massage because we only ever get them when
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: we're on holiday. Oh my god, guys, we got a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: couple's massage in Europe and we were like yep for
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: two people, and then we got there and they walked
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: us into a room together.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: This is not the first time either.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: There like holding our hits like hi, we'll see you
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: in an hour. And then it's just funny because like
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I'm laying there literally next to our naked while both
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: our bodies.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Are been simultan touched, Like if I deep it when
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there, I start laughing.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: At least it wasn't the Bali full body.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Full body massage, if you guys don't remember that or
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: didn't listen to the Bari episode.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So I went to.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: And we're in separate rooms for this, thank god. But
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's what also contributed to me losing my ship.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And it was our first time in Bali, and we
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: didn't quite understand that like full body meant full body,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and so that means like neck, shoulders, backs, and then
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: like go over, but we cover you with a towel
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and we work around your bits anyway.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And so then we're in this thing and they go
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: turn over and then she just.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Rips the towel down and it's tits out for the boys,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and she's got oil on my tits and she's just
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: rubbing like e cut boobies right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: On this holiday. And I haven't been even been touched
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: like this by your manly long time.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So not only am I like a.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Little bit uncomfortable, but like in terms of the two
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: of us, like whoever who gets the tits out more,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: it's definitely me anyway. So then I have the dark
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: realization that I like I go in like the out
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of body experience where like about like comes out of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the body and sits up in like what's going on?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And then like I'm looking at myself and this like
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: small woman that's rubbing my boobs that are actually the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: same size as her. And then then I have the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: realization somewhere somehow in another room sounds tits are also
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: out and she's probably crying. And I then fore like
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the whole massage was trying not to laugh, like I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: was literally pissing myself the whole time.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Need to figure out a way to like politely be like, no,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: thank you. It was a whole thing anyway, So you
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: treat yourself to ape. It's not going to be like that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: You can rub your own breasts if you like, you're allowed.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, date and before a digital detos very straightforward.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: We know what this entales. But I think it's more
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: about like the tips that we can.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Do to achievement, actually do it, because I'm not gonna lie.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I would I very much struggle, not just subconsciously reaching
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: for my phone.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: It's the subconscious muscle memory.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that this day is the hardest out
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: of any of the to achieve, even harder than they
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: get your shit done, sort your finances day.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's more about setting boundaries because you are
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: like a baby.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: So it's like one is putting a hairband around your
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: phone like a hairtye, because that like that stops that
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: subconscious reaching another one is turning your phone.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Onto like the negative screen. Oh so like when it
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: goes black and white. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so when you up,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh that's ugly.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Well again, it's a physical reminder. You're like, oh, I
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: need to put my phone down. And also if you're
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: scrolling on TikTok, like if you ignore it and you're
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: like fuck it and you go on TikTok or Instagram,
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be it's not hitting when everything's
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: in black and white.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Because as well, I was seeing a video on TikTok
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and she was saying, how like the colors give you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a dopamine hit makes sense.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And then another one is to just log out.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Because when you go and you tap thele Instagram mic,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: when you tap the TikTok and it's like log and
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you're like ah fac yeah, like never mind.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And for a day like that is very achievable.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: And if you have to, you know, use your phone
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: or screens for work, like obviously put that on a weekend.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Really you shouldn't be getting in trouble if there's an
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: email that's come through over the weekend and you haven't
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: seen it. Like there are literal laws that have been
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: put in place that stop bosses now from contacting their
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: employees outside of work hours.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So agreed.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Number five I think this is my second favorite
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: day is the back burner day.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the back burner day is the day.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: For like some days, right, and it's the little projects
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: or ideas that you're like, oh, I need to do
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: that or I want to do that, but I just
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I just don't have the time, and it's putting one
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: day a month just do those little back burner tasks
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: that maybe it's cleaning out your wardrobe and putting things
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: on deeper, or it's getting to that drawer that you're like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: what the fuck is in that draw?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And I hate it?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it and it makes me skin crawl. Yeah,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: it's cleaning out that drunk draw or maybe it's looking
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: into the little side hustle that you want to start,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: or setting up your ABM literally like even just painting.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's the things that when you're talking to people and
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: you always say like I really need to do that,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: that's what this day is for, or even I really
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: want to do that. For example, if it's like cooking
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: a recipe that you've had bookmark for ages or yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: like a painting in the corner that's half in it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Taking the garbage bags of clothes that you've been saying
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: you're going to take for Vinis for the last three months.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just saying what's on your back burner right now?
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: On my back burner is you know that the drawer
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: you mentioned, that's every cupboard in my house currently, and
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: that happens usually once every six months. I do like
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: a declutter and then by the end of the six months,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: every drawing cupboard is a junk drawer.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: So that's what I need to do.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: And that's why you need a whole day for it
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: as well, because you get to the like halfway through
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the day and you're like the damn lit dad.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or even just focusing on like one thing, like
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: one day I do the pantry.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: The thing is, I think by having this as one
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: day of the month is like when you get to
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: that tired bit and you know you've maybe lost the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: dough for mean of like starting a project or a job.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they like message just around you.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're like, I just this is just one day.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: If I just get through this today, yeah, don't have
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to do it again and it will be so nice,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: so naic, like literally decluttering my wardrobe the weekend I
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: got back from six weeks in Europe.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Weird time to pick it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Diabolical but also diabolical behavior but felt amazing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I did get halfway through and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I want to do it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And then I was like no, because this will feel
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: so good when I'm done. And I just have to
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: commit to doing it because the amount of times I'm like,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I've got to do that, I gotta do that, I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: got to do that, it never happens.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And there's never a good time to do it.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: You always put it off something else you would prefer
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: So, oh, there's always something else you think deserves your
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: time more, whatever it is. That's why like the back
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: burner days, for like the little pot of rubbish that
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I put that there.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: The things you put on the back burner, put them
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on the front burner. Yeah. And number six intentional connection day.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: What are you doing in your intentional connection day?
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Very good?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And this is basically like it's hanging out with your friends,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: it's spending time with your partner, but it's not doing
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the things that you know you always do.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It's not going out for drinks and getting with you
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: know every single time.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not sitting down and watching a movie with
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: your partner. Like, it's actually doing something contentional. You spend
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: time together and speak and like connect connect.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And I wanted to reference like Tanya Hennessy who coined
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the term like the catch up trap, and this is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: the opposite of that. It's not the like, oh, how's
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: work and how's this and blah blah blah, Like trying
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to actually build upon connection rather than sit in it.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, build new memories, yeah, and new things that you
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: can talk about and evolve your relationship.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Something that I've been doing because and I've said this
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: before that like a life lesson or a goal of
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: mine was to like reach out to my nad more.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: And we have like a really nice relationship.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: And we used to like go to the movies all
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: the time time and go out and do things. But
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: now that she's a little bit older, that can be
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: a little bit trickier to do.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So Chris and I have started every Sunday night we call.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Her and we do the footy tips with her because
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: in like the assisted living place that she lives, they
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: do like a footy tips competition every week. And when
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I went to her house the other day, I saw
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: like the tipping sheet and I was like, Oh, who'd
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: you tip? And we were like running through it and
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I wouldn't have tipped them because
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: like this person's out this week and blah blah. And
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: so I was like, oh, would you like if we
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: call you every Sunday and we can do the footy
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: tips together? And then yes, we do the footy tips,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: but then I'm like, how is your week?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: What did you get up? Too good to have like
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: an anchor?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we actually will end up talking for
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: you know, like forty minutes and catching up on each
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: other's weeks and whatever. But yeah, it's an anchor that
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I put in, and that's like a very intentional connection
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: thing that I've been doing every Sunday night.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: It's a fucking best good. Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I love that, But I think as well, well, again,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: when we run down these and you know, go into
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the details of what they are, it can sound like
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a lot, but again, it's only six days and the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: reason why these matter, and I think individually, none of
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: these are earth shattering, right, Yeah, you're like.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Whoa, now that's digital detox. Wow, that's crazy.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But when you combine these six days together, you create
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: balance because when you look at it, you have a
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: day for responsibility, a day for rest, a day for joy,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: a day for detox, a day for creativity, and a
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: day for connection.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: And if you can get all of those six things
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a month, you're better than everyone else. Yeah, you're slaying. Well.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: The thing is is that typically we don't put aside
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: six days for these things, and yet all of these
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: things are some of the most important things in our life.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: If not the most important six things in your life.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so like you should at least be setting aside
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: six days for these things because that's what is important
