  Speaker 2: a goodie bag that's worth like four hundred dollars, and
• 3:42

  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get into the episode. Chikjobs.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Four hobbies that you need starting with your first one
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: is one to fuel and feel your body. It is
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: vital to prioritize both your mental and physical health. The
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: most important thing, though, is finding something that you enjoy,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: like this shouldn't feel like a chore, but something like
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that makes you feel good and saying this as well
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: as two people that are not like the fitness wellness girlies. Yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I do think this year is the first year. Actually,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you were really good with it last year, I wasn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: necessarily very good. You've always been good with it. I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: just I'm just what's the word where you put your insecurities.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: On other projecting, projecting that old chestnut. Well, this year
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is the first year that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've actually been consistent with a habit
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that fuels my body and feels my body. And I've
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: never felt more kind of in tune with my body
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: as being a vessel and something that works for me
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: rather than something that is to be looked at.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Then I have this year.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And there was a recent study that showed an MRI
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of a brain before and after a twenty minute walk
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: on a group of children, and the results showed that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: those who had walked had significantly more cognitive performance. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: this is the thing that gets you into the hobby
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: because I was saying to you, how at the start
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of this year, like I couldn't run, Like for a minute,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, also, I reckon, if you go back
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: two years I was slagging off running, Yeah, you would
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: have been like, I will just never run, which if
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you don't want to, I.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Would be like, what's the point of running?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, it's backing, boring, No, no, no, when I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was in little athletics, I don't know if.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I've told you this story. I don't know when I
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was in little athletics. I think this was maybe like
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: my third week. So I was bored. I was like, oh,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the dopamine is worn off. Boring.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I was doing the eight hundred
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: meters and I rounded the corner or maybe the four
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: hundred meters.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was doing the circle and there was only one lap.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, I'm coming around the final bend. My mom's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: there being like, go Alex. I walked off, yeah, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: then went, Alex, what are you doing?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I said, why are we running? Like five?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Why are we running?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Question? What what am I running to? What am I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: running from? And from that day forward resented running.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I like.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Competitive sports because I'm competitive, so I would enjoy that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But I've never been a runner, never been a track star.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway, this year, I'm obsessed and I ran my first
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: four kilometers two days ago.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So proud.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And do you want to know how I did it?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I've already told you. I'll tell you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Chicks released Me by Agnes came out as my final song,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and I was running next to this like really fit,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like footy play next me on the treadmill and I said,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: it's fucking on and heye won. But like it just
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: having this hobby, whatever it is, whatever it looks like
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: for you, because you know, we've tried basically everything under
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the sun, and it is about finding the thing that
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: sticks and that you enjoy. But it's not the actual
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's how you feel after it. It's
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: how the hobby makes you feel after it. And I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: feel like finding that thing that makes you like, makes
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: your body feel like a vessel rather than something to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: be looked at, is always going to fuel you in
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: all areas of your life. Yeah, well, because the alternative
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is so not motivating, or at least it's not motivating
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in like a healthy and sustainable way. If you want
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to go to pilates and that's the movement that you
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: get that feeling afterwards, that you get that dopamine hit,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that's great.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: If it's a hot girl walk, fabulous.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: If it's a dance class, if it's a YouTube high
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: school musical dance class routine.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: The one direction one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Is have we done one of those together?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: We did?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Think in lockdown, I think, but not together, like not
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: together in the same room, but we definitely did them
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: in lockdown.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: We should do one together.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really At first, you feel really stupid, they're hard.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: You feel really silly when you're doing these like dance
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: workouts on YouTube.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: By the end of it, it's so much fine.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: They're the best and they're a real workout. They're challenging.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your hobby that you do. Mine would be
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: going to the gym, and I like it because it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: an excuse not to touch my fie.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Oh and look at my phone Asterix.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Currently, I'm doing a program on the kickapp, which I love.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: So my phone's present and I am looking at a
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: screen to follow the instructions. But you know, I'm not
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: getting distracted.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I'm listening to music and it's a really good opportunity
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: to switch off.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: And I really like going late at night because I
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: feel like it helps me switch off before I go
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to bed.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I've always.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Been a morning person, and I've definitely transitioned to an
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: eve R though.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like looking at it as that for me,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: like it's a good way to put a full stop
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: on the day. Close the laptop finish work and go
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: do that. I don't have to talk to anybody, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: don't have to think about anything.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: I can just do that, listen to some tunes.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And I do really like using the kickapp or some
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: sort of like workout program so.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: That somebody can basically tell me what to do.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you feel your mood change like when you're
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on the way home from the.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: One thousand percent?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm always like walking out like thinking I'm in
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a film clear, yes, sinking for my life, yeah, legit.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Like I don't ever think, oh, yeah, I'm excited to
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: go to the gym.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I want to go to the gym. I think I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: know what.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to feel like when I have dinner and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I sit down to watch TV if I do go,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: whereas if I don't, I feel like a little stale
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: piece of bread. Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: It always makes me so ready for bed too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Ye. And I'm like, I've never really been these girlies,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: but look at us now me.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Your next hobby that you need is one.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: To let you be creative. I think this is my
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: favorite one, or it's up there.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: It's up there.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But I just think there's so much pressure to have
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: like results as an adult to have like your income
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: or buy a house, or get married and have kids
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: by a certain age of these like made up rules
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that society gave us that we measure ourselves against. It's
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: like we have okayrs for life, right, But for me
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: this hobby, the word creative could be swapped out for
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the word place. I agree, And I just think we
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: could play a lot more. And I've recently been speaking
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: with someone and the amount of times the word play
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: comes up that I just want to play, I just
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: want to have fun.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I I just want to play, And they think we
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: don't make enough time for this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: You don't make enough time to play and have fun
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and giggle and be silly and be creative because we're
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: too focused on these stupid fucking okayrs that someone set
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: who we are. Also, that's someone like we're also setting
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: these okayrs in our minds and then failing because we
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: don't want to do them, but then we're upset that
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: we didn't do them.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And the reason why this.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Needs to be a hobby is because play can also
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: improve our memory and stimulates the growth of the cerebral cortex.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: To get all science y on youtigis.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And researchers cats playful adults into four types.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I love this shit. How do we play?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So there's four types of adults that play.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Those who outwardly enjoy fooling around with friends, colleagues, relatives,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and acquaintances.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Falling around.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Eh, she's playing right now.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Those who are generally lighthearted and not preoccupied by the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: future consequences of their.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Behavior must be nice.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Those who play with thoughts and ideas, and those who
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: play with themselves.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say something else, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: there was a full start. Those who are whimsical exhibit
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: interest in strange and unusual things, and are amused by small,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: everyday observations.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Hello, that's cute.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: In the fourth category, I reckon, I reckon or like
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: those who play with thoughts and ideas, but we also
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: love giggling and his friends. I have them accept the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: one one that doesn't care about the future. But among
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: like its many benefits, adult play can boost your creativity,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: sharpen your sense of humor, and help you cope better
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: with stress. So if you can't think of something that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that hobby right now, I really want you to prioritize
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that this week. If you can't think of something where
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you've played this week, and it might not necessarily be
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a consistent hobby that you do every week.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: It is good if you.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Can find something like that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Our friend Jem, she goes to pottery every Tuesday.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Reading your book and then talking about it, like starting
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a book club with your friends and or just one
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: friend and talking about that book together and like giggling
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and kicking your feet about his quivering member.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, even like filling out your good reads. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: and like having a little creative writing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Exercise about the book that you've read.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's just it's fun to play.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: It is fun to play to play. I love that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I think an example of that for me would be
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: live music for sure. Yes, like that is definitely one
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: of my favorite and most consistent hobbies throughout my life.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And I think that is one time when that is
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: a time when I do feel that real childlike joy
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and like reckless, abandoned and it's just so fun and
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you feel so like alive.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: So I love doing that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But another thing that I would be keen to get
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: into maybe in the new year, is like scrap booking.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I like scrapbooking.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And yeah that's cute, or you do it like junk journaling.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Have you seen that trend? Were you just right? It's
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: like you just.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Stick in like anything, and you can do it for
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: like the months, like it doesn't have to be They
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: always end up looking aesthetic. But it's not so much
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: like scrap booking as it was traditionally thought.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I like rapples and stuff.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Into it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Soal, hit me with our next hobby.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: So the third hobby that you need is one to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: manage your money. Whoah, yeah exciting.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Think this sounds boring, but it's not.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, a hobby that makes you money seems like
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a win win situation, and I think it can be,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: especially in the current climate.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: As we said, you know, we're going through a cozy lives.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Everybody is looking for more ways to make money, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I think that if you can find avenues to make
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: money that are also based in passion and things that
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: you enjoy, that's great. Like for example, like I said,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I've always had a passion for music and live music.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Especially, and I always love writing about it. When I
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: was a teenager and i'd write like.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Blogs and stuff that's cool.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tumbler and MySpace bulletins, and then as I got older,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: eventually turned that into like a side hustle doing music
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: journalism and interviewing artists or reviewing albums and gigs and
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, which was great and a great way
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: to make some money on the side. But for me,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the money was I guess, the cherry on top, and
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: it was more so getting the opportunity to listen to
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: albums before they were released, or going to a show
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: and having my name on the door and knowing that
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I was going to review one of my favorite artists,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: or getting to speak with someone who I really admired
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: about a piece of work that they produced, and the
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: money was sort of just a nice silver lining.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: So I think that that is great if.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You can make money from your hobby and you want to. However,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we've also been existing in a gig economy for the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: last what ten fifteen years, and I think a lot
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: of us feel the pressure to turn our hobbies into
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: side hustles. And I think that's the distinction that we
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: want to make here, that you don't have to make money.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Out of your hobbies. It's only if you want to.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And I think that if there's ever an instance where
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: you're feeling pressure from other people to make money from
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: your hobby, or you start doing it and then you
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: realize that you're not having fun with your hobby.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Bringing you joy. Yeah, and that is statistically speaking. There
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: are studies at show.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Once you start earning money from a hobby, you start
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: enjoying that hobby a little bit less.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Or a lot a bit less.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I even found that with internships in my early twenties
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and late teens.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Lets we romanticize it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd be enjoying it so much more.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And then I actually started getting paid and I was like,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: now I have to be here.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not always the case.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: So if you don't want to have a hobby that
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: makes you money, maybe aim to have one that helps
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: you manage your money instead. So this could include things
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: like learning to invest. We did a two part episode
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: on how to learn how to invest and get into investing.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: We can link it in the show notes.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: It's a really good start if you are a beginner
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and you're interested. Also adding yourself regular money challenges like
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: a no spend month or maybe a goal to save
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: a certain amount, and you can switch these up every month.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: But knowing that you have a goal on the first
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: day of every month to set yourself a different money
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: challenge could be fun.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I like that, like those money bingo cards, Yeah, they're
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: so fun. Or you can have a weekly money date
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: to manage your finances with your partner or.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Maybe with a friend.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: You know, you could do it over coffee and brecky,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: or like put a little charcuterie board together and might
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: put some tunes on. Most importantly, I think this is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a hobby that, like future you will really thank you for.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I think all of these hobbies are things that future
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: you will thank you for. But this is really something
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: that's going to relieve stress in the future. When you
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: manage your money now, you're less stressed in the future.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I think all of these hobbies save you stress.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: In the future.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but some money micro hobbies that you can build
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: into your routine from our chicks that sent these in
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: is painting your own nails. That's always a very common
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: hobby that we gets sent in. Eating before grocery shopping. Honestly,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: like that would save me hundreds of dollars.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want to admit it, but it's so it's true.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: And then canceling memberships you don't use using cash.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: That's a really popular one.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's very it's a lot more mindful than
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: a bank card.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And then only going to events that you actually want
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to go to. It's gonna change your life that one. Yeah,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: it's gonna blow your fucking.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Mand That's like my favorite.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I love that, Yeah, because saying that it's my favorite.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Was watching sal get like pressured into coming to a
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: party once by like four people, and then in front
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of everyone that was going to this party that just
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: wanted so how to come, she goes, I just don't
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: fucking want.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: To, and then everyone shut up.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I start pressuring her and I was just this math
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: wouldn't sorry. When Bush comes to shop, I have to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: tell you the real reason why I don't want to
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: come and so fucking want to, And everyone's like, yep,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: you can't really argue against that one.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Nah, it's a good one to have in the back pocket.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Honesty best policy. Maybe we should put that shit on
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a ship, put that ship on a show.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: You have to say it that way, but it's quite grading,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I've realized listening back to the episodes. But alas, let's
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: move on to our fourth and final hobby that you
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: need one to advance your knowledge. Smutty pants, smutty girls. Yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I love being smart.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Hot girls love to learn.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Not say I'm sorry that came out wrong.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Smart.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I love getting smart.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: But learning doesn't have to finish when you wrap up
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: UNI and high school, and I think for a lot
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: of people that's where the learning journey does sort of end. Obviously,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you know, we're learning life lessons all the time and
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: picking up new things as you go into adulthood. But
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about intentional learning and actually putting time as
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: to learn something that you want to.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Learn, because I think that it is more.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Rewarding perhaps than what we did experience in school or UNI,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: because you actually have some autonomy you.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Had to choose. How cool is that?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: And I actually saw an article by National Geographic. Maybe
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: they's smartiest pain.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe they skewed the results because they're like, you know
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: how you'll do this, pick up the mag But adults
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: are apparently better learners because we have better self regulation.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: And we're intent when we want to learn something. So
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: I know the saying is you.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Can't teach an old dog new tricks, but yeah, because
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you're actually learning things that you want to and not
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: just how to play the recorder, but if you want to.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Learn how to do that, you do that, you do that,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get that hot cross bun.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And not only is it rewarding, I think when you
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: feel yourself learning new things and picking up new skills,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: but it can also help maintain and improve our cognitive function,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: which apparently usually begins to plateau after the age of
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: thirty or forty.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, you going over there, sow. I mean, I
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: think the results speak for itself. It's not looking.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Good that it's time to pick up a new hobby.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: But I think that you know, there's so many different
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: hobbies that you could try to advance your knowledge, some
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: of which including learn a new language on duo lingo.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Next one, pick a topic and make it your hyper fixation.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yes I'm talking books, podcasts, documentaries, do it all and
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: just become obsessed and indulged in a topic and try
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and learn everything that you can about it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I'm like, why not we need to pick.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Something and you can pick whatever the fuck you want.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Like that's the best part is you know how there
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: was those subjects in school and you're like, eh, and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: then there were the ones.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: That you're like, whe Yeah, Like do like learn about
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: whatever you want?
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: If that is honestly watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: is still learning.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of things we think have to
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: be these really.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Analytical and intelligently stereotypical things, but.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: It can literally be watching YouTube videos of makeup tutorials
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: or like true crime podcasts, like it's scary, it's not
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: fit yeat, she's a little bit too, she's too skinned.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a bit sky. Yeah, but like that's the thing.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I think when we look at something as an interest,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: we devalue what it is.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But that's not the case.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely also going to museums and art galleries one
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: of my personal faves. Or learn a new skill like
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: you were saying, So that could be cooking, or photography, writing,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: makeup and beauty, hair, whatever I think piques your interest.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: If you could wake up tomorrow with a new skill
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: or hobby and be like an expert status sada, what
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: would you be?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: What would you have?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Oh that's hard because I want to pick something practical.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Like imagine if I was really good at investing and
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I just knew everything about it and I had to
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: wake up something fine, something fine.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know how to play an instrument that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: was fine.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like if.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: You got instrument the proparnette.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I already know how to play the clarinet. Baby, all right,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I got years of experience.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: You do you actually remember how to play the clarinet?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I think I'd be able to.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Really if I brought a clarinet in here in this studio,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you could play it. It would take me a couple
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: of goos. It's pretty hard.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: It's a hard instrument, yeah it is.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: But yes, I've already got that one down, so that's fine.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I could pick that one up.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: But maybe like the electric.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Guitar or the drums, Yeah, the drums are hard.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: The drug would be so much fun and you'd get
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: a lot out, like you.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Just get so much energy that yeah, yeah, what's yours?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Mine was going to be piano, but maybe another language.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'd love to wake up and just be that
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: fluent in Italian. So to wrap that before we get
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: into advice to the chicks. Your four hobbies that you
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: need a want to fuel and feel your body, one
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: for your creativity, one to manage your money, and one
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: to expand your knowledge.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Hot Heart Paytis.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Just finish reading your book and loved it. So many
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: stories that resonated and life lessons to learn. I have
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: a question for an in between friendship. A group of
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: us girls met directly or indirectly through Bumble Friends, and
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: initially it was nice hanging out for.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Food dates and such.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: However, as time went on, I found that I'm getting
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: closer to just a few of the girls in the
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: group and drifting away from a couple. I'm hosting a
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: housewarming party soon and I'm conflicted with how I should
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: hand out invites. I would love to just invite the
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: ones that I feel have formed a genuine connection with me,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: but I don't want to offend the rest of the group.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I find it tricky because this isn't a classic fizzle
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: out friendship when there are other girls involved.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: That's a really tough one.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: My initial reaction is if they're not bad people, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: they're nice and you still enjoy spending time with them,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's any harm with throwing the invite
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: out there. If they don't want to come because they
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: also feel like the friendship is sort of not giving
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you both what you need, then they probably won't show up,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and if they do, then nobody's feelings are getting hurt.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But then at the same time, I'm like, I understand
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: it's a housewarming, it's an intimate affair, and.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: You probably only want the people that you really like there.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But with people like this that it's not like, oh,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: this is a friend who you know is toxic, or
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: someone I've had a falling out with, or.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Someone who I just don't like. That makes it a
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: little bit more black and white, whereas this's a.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Bit of a gray area.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: My perspective on stuff like this is because I feel
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: like I do a lot of hosting within like our friendships.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: I kind of always look at it as like a
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: more the Maria situation, and I think I think you
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: end up spending time with the people that you want
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: to spend time with. Anyway, I think it takes away
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: from how much you'll enjoy yourself.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I also think.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Healthy friendships can spend quality time within those friendships, so
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: you don't always have to hang out as a group.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: You can hang out with more intimate groups within friendship groups,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: like you don't always have to do the massive thing,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: And that's fine, but I just for this kind of thing.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I always go with them more of.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: The merrier because, as Saul said, if they're not toxic friends,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: if they're not going to take away from how much
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: you enjoy the evening and then not like a drama
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: or like a bit of a stain on the night,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I think it's better to extend the invitation.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They might come, they might not.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing because in saying that you don't
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: have to. If you just want to invite your four friends,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: just do that. There is absolutely We're not saying no,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you have to. That's personally just what we do in
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: that situation. But I also think if you want to
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: have an intimate night with your closer friends, that is
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: so fine.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You are within every single right to do that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I would probably just not post about it because that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: you do run the risk of people's feelings being hurt
• 29:19
