Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Hey, that folks, sit is Sunday, May third, and woo,
- 0:07Speaker 1: what a girl's weekend it was. You know, the ladies
- 0:10Speaker 1: got together to go see Devil War's Prada too. There
- 0:14Speaker 1: are a bunch of girl groups this weekend, and surely
- 0:17Speaker 1: they were having all kinds of conversations, maybe about the fellas,
- 0:21Speaker 1: maybe not. But I am told we're all about to
- 0:26Speaker 1: be surprised to find out where women actually have their
- 0:31Speaker 1: best conversations with that welcome to this episode of Aamy
- 0:34Speaker 1: and TJ and Robes. As I say, we would all
- 0:36Speaker 1: be surprised to find out. Women won't be surprised to
- 0:38Speaker 1: hear this, you say, I was.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Just gonna say, if you're a woman, this will not
- 0:42Speaker 2: be shocking, but I'm curious if it will be for you,
- 0:46Speaker 2: my love.
- 0:47Speaker 1: So where do you and men in general? Right?
- 0:49Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't mean to single you out.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Yes, men, where do you believe if you had to guess,
- 0:54Speaker 2: list your top three places where you think women might
- 0:56Speaker 2: have their best conversations?
- 0:58Speaker 1: And by best I mean gens. That's just general term, right,
- 1:02Speaker 1: just best conversations fun.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Some of the thing can be deep, some of them
- 1:05Speaker 2: can just be uplifting. Where do you think these conversations
- 1:09Speaker 2: are happening.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The bathroom at the nightclub. In the mirror, I would
- 1:15Speaker 1: guess there.
- 1:16Speaker 3: You're right?
- 1:17Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 1:18Speaker 3: It's the bathroom. It doesn't have to nightclub, it's just
- 1:21Speaker 3: the bathroom.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Okay, And with that, thank you for listening, Bolks. The
- 1:27Speaker 1: episode is over. I did not know this stuff ahead
- 1:30Speaker 1: of time.
- 1:31Speaker 3: That is so funny. I didn't think you were gonna
- 1:33Speaker 3: guess it.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah. So they just did a recent survey. In fact,
- 1:36Speaker 2: I should give credit where credit is due. This is
- 1:38Speaker 2: this article came to us from our producer Sam, and
- 1:42Speaker 2: she's been kind of forting us some fun articles to
- 1:45Speaker 2: have conversations about what gen z ers, what younger women
- 1:49Speaker 2: might be talking about or interested in. But this one
- 1:51Speaker 2: jumped out of me because it made me laugh. I
- 1:54Speaker 2: don't I probably would have guessed it, but as soon.
- 1:56Speaker 3: As I saw the answer, I immediately thought.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Duh, how many on the list? First of all, do
- 2:01Speaker 1: they have here?
- 2:02Speaker 2: No?
- 2:02Speaker 1: This is how many places?
- 2:03Speaker 2: No?
- 2:03Speaker 3: Just bathrooms? Just the one place is bathrooms?
- 2:05Speaker 1: Oh my?
- 2:06Speaker 3: That But what the data is showing.
- 2:08Speaker 2: This research shows what women are actually doing in there,
- 2:11Speaker 2: what they're talking about. They surveyed thousands of women and
- 2:14Speaker 2: where well, what do you have any idea what women
- 2:17Speaker 2: are talking about? What are we doing in there? You're
- 2:19Speaker 2: sitting there, you're waiting with your guys, Like, where are they?
- 2:21Speaker 3: What are those two doing in there?
- 2:22Speaker 2: Now?
- 2:23Speaker 1: Wait a minute, are we saying that it's we're talking
- 2:25Speaker 1: about public bathrooms generally are just the bathroom? Wow? Okay,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I went right to the club because I think about
- 2:32Speaker 1: women going there puting their makeup on the little tipsy.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Maybe they're exchanging quick stories before they go back out
- 2:38Speaker 1: and say your guy, this is your guy. That guys. Well, no,
- 2:43Speaker 1: I am saying my mind went there, Oh yeah first,
- 2:46Speaker 1: because I don't know, just that image comes to mind
- 2:49Speaker 1: of women in that bathroom just chatting it up and
- 2:52Speaker 1: chopping it up.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Yep.
- 2:53Speaker 3: But do you ever wonder what we're doing, like what we're.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Talking about in the bathroom? Do I ever one I
- 2:58Speaker 1: know not to ask I what women are doing in
- 3:01Speaker 1: the bathroom. I don't know what y'all are chatting and
- 3:05Speaker 1: up about in the bathroom.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yes, it's funny because this article pointed out this data
- 3:10Speaker 2: showed that in this era of cell phones, you know,
- 3:14Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of personal connection or one
- 3:16Speaker 2: on one or meeting strangers where you just actually have
- 3:20Speaker 2: sometimes meaningful conversations with someone you've just met. That doesn't
- 3:24Speaker 2: happen that often anymore, except in the women's public restrooms
- 3:29Speaker 2: because your phones are down, you are fixing your makeup.
- 3:33Speaker 3: But it is interesting.
- 3:34Speaker 2: I loved seeing because we have so many stories about
- 3:37Speaker 2: women who don't get along, cat fights, all of this
- 3:40Speaker 2: stuff constantly making headlines. This survey made me happy because
- 3:45Speaker 2: it's true because I've had and I think any woman listening,
- 3:48Speaker 2: when I start listening what we do in the bathroom,
- 3:50Speaker 2: it will resonate with you because I know you've experienced it.
- 3:53Speaker 2: And actually it is uplifting because I never recognized this.
- 3:58Speaker 2: But where else do we have these fun, intimate interactions
- 4:03Speaker 2: with strangers. It's just rare these days, especially with our phones.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another place where it's possible,
- 4:10Speaker 1: and all the places i'm thinking of where you don't interact,
- 4:12Speaker 1: I'm thinking like a subway. I'm thinking even at an airport,
- 4:16Speaker 1: where there are big crowds of people you don't see
- 4:18Speaker 1: necessarily strangers interacting. We see that bars I think maybe
- 4:23Speaker 1: maybe airport bars maybe yes, And those in some of
- 4:27Speaker 1: those places where people are almost looking for connection, looking
- 4:31Speaker 1: for somebody to talk to, because they're not traveling with somebody.
- 4:33Speaker 1: But and also, men don't have these conversations.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you what men do in
- 4:38Speaker 2: the public restaurant. You don't interact, You don't even make
- 4:40Speaker 2: eye contact.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Your eyes straight ahead front, you don't look around, You
- 4:44Speaker 1: don't want to do anything but get in and get
- 4:46Speaker 1: out of there.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Have you ever had a man trying to strike up
- 4:48Speaker 2: a casual conversation with you in the men's restroom.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm sure randomly here, but a full conversation new and
- 4:55Speaker 1: we're not in the mirror for a long time. Most
- 4:57Speaker 1: guys don't wash their hands well thoroughly anyway, so they're
- 5:01Speaker 1: there for five seconds doing a little and they're gone.
- 5:04Speaker 3: So you have the.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Complete opposite experience in the public rescue, complete stand out,
- 5:10Speaker 2: and you're waiting for us, and you're thinking, what in
- 5:12Speaker 2: the hell are those women doing in there?
- 5:15Speaker 1: Oh, we accept it, we get it, and that's fine.
- 5:18Speaker 1: We don't get We don't even get frustrated. I don't
- 5:19Speaker 1: think by it anymore. We understand she's going to the bathroom.
- 5:22Speaker 2: It's just a known entity. This is going to happen
- 5:25Speaker 2: all right, So here is I have the top ten
- 5:29Speaker 2: things that women are doing in the bathroom.
- 5:31Speaker 1: What talking about in a conversation? Are just doing a
- 5:34Speaker 1: little bit of both.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Most of it is conversation, yes, but this is what
- 5:38Speaker 2: we're doing interacting with one another. Okay, the first, the first,
- 5:42Speaker 2: the number one thing. Fifty eight percent of women say
- 5:44Speaker 2: it's casual small talk. And that is true. Just you'll
- 5:47Speaker 2: talk about the club, you'll talk about the music, you'll
- 5:49Speaker 2: talk about the food, you'll talk about whatever.
- 5:52Speaker 3: So that's just your basic stuff.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And again, these are women, not two women that get
- 5:56Speaker 1: up from the table and go to the bathroom together.
- 5:58Speaker 1: These are strangers, the.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Rangers, these are This is stranger interaction, which is very
- 6:03Speaker 2: rare these days. That was the point Number two, And
- 6:06Speaker 2: I love this, this is so true. Giving a compliment,
- 6:09Speaker 2: forty of women will say, oh my god, I love
- 6:12Speaker 2: your outfit, I love your shoes, your hair looks so nice.
- 6:15Speaker 3: What's that lipstick color? That kind of a thing.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never complimented a man's shoes in the bathroom,
- 6:20Speaker 1: not once. Forty fine trousers, you got on there.
- 6:24Speaker 2: The idea of men doing that is hilarious. Why though,
- 6:27Speaker 2: why couldn't men do that.
- 6:28Speaker 1: In the bathroom. No, it's just a different there's a
- 6:33Speaker 1: there's an intimacy that you don't have with strange men.
- 6:36Speaker 1: There's not a connection you try to make with a
- 6:39Speaker 1: man you don't know, and certainly not in the bathroom
- 6:41Speaker 1: where guys are standing right next to each other at
- 6:44Speaker 1: urinals with their junk out. This is not I don't
- 6:46Speaker 1: want to converse. I don't want to I wouldn't like
- 6:49Speaker 1: to meet you if your dick in your hand. And
- 6:53Speaker 1: that's not a good setup.
- 6:56Speaker 2: All right, So y'all aren't complimenting each other. So forty
- 6:59Speaker 2: percent said it was giving a compliment. Thirty eight percent
- 7:01Speaker 2: said it was receiving a compliment.
- 7:03Speaker 3: And it's true. I can think of so many interactions.
- 7:06Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I go back to a restaurant we used to hang
- 7:09Speaker 2: out at all the time, Suprama in the West Village,
- 7:12Speaker 2: and I remember in that bathroom having so many fun
- 7:15Speaker 2: conversations with random women, and then also Maurice Crisis having
- 7:19Speaker 2: like amazing conversations in that bathroom.
- 7:22Speaker 1: You should stop.
- 7:24Speaker 2: You're already having fun. Then you start getting all excited.
- 7:27Speaker 3: People say I love your Where did you get that dress?
- 7:29Speaker 1: How big is that bathroom. Okayry, have you ever gone
- 7:33Speaker 1: to that bathroom? Sober?
- 7:35Speaker 3: Probably? Well buzzed maybe would be the best.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I'm just laughing about Maurice crisis. Anybody knows it obviously,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you know.
- 7:43Speaker 2: And it's the waiting for the bathroom line because those
- 7:45Speaker 2: are really small, tiny spaces, so it's like as you're
- 7:47Speaker 2: waiting for a stall to open up, that's where the
- 7:50Speaker 2: conversations happened a lot of time.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Made me think of a very funny story. I'll tell
- 7:53Speaker 1: you about it later. I have had bathroom conversation. It
- 7:56Speaker 1: was in a line and it was with a woman.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Okay, like stranger thing. Yes, okay, can we get back
- 8:01Speaker 2: to that.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Okay, all right.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So the next thing is handing someone a product. So
- 8:06Speaker 2: true either either if you need from period products to
- 8:10Speaker 2: toilet paper to like do you have a cute different whatever,
- 8:15Speaker 2: something that a woman could give another woman that you need,
- 8:17Speaker 2: even hand sanitizer, you name it.
- 8:19Speaker 3: That was twelve percent. So I people have said, oh
- 8:22Speaker 3: could I borrow this? Or do you have that? So
- 8:24Speaker 3: we share our products with each other.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Just the idea of a man say, hey man, you
- 8:28Speaker 1: got any chapstick? A chapstick? Just need to get a
- 8:31Speaker 1: little hit hire before I go back out to my
- 8:32Speaker 1: lady at the table.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's awful, all right. And this is where
- 8:39Speaker 2: I think you're going to start laughing. So number five
- 8:40Speaker 2: on hours laughing. Okay, we've been laughing.
- 8:43Speaker 3: That is true.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Offering emotional support because a lot of times you'll find
- 8:48Speaker 2: a girl crying in the bathroom, and I.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Have absolutely seen that.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I've been the girl, and I've seen the girl and
- 8:55Speaker 2: other women go to help.
- 8:56Speaker 3: What's wrong? How can I help what's happening?
- 8:59Speaker 2: And we start all of a sudden just offering each
- 9:01Speaker 2: other emotional support in the public restroom.
- 9:05Speaker 1: How many men do you think I've sent crying of
- 9:07Speaker 1: public bathroom?
- 9:09Speaker 3: Zero O Okay.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Even boys that come in with their dads aren't crying.
- 9:14Speaker 3: That is hilarious, all right.
- 9:16Speaker 2: The next one, the next one on the list is
- 9:20Speaker 2: having a surprisingly deep conversation. So I do think that
- 9:26Speaker 2: has happened so many times I can I actually have
- 9:29Speaker 2: vivid memories.
- 9:30Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Sometimes the night might be blurry, but you remember your
- 9:33Speaker 2: deep bathroom conversations. It can be with the friend you
- 9:36Speaker 2: brought in there with you, because of course, we rarely
- 9:38Speaker 2: go into these bathrooms alone. And then sometimes you'll have
- 9:41Speaker 2: like a girlfriend, like like you have your two of
- 9:44Speaker 2: you see another group of two and then you all
- 9:46Speaker 2: start talking and supporting each other. It happens all the time,
- 9:49Speaker 2: So then it's it's one of it was giving. Some
- 9:52Speaker 2: of it was receiving emotional support, all right, giving someone
- 9:55Speaker 2: gum erments one hundred percent?
- 9:57Speaker 3: Have you even done that?
- 9:59Speaker 1: Well, there's a an attendant often in the bathroom. Do
- 10:01Speaker 1: y'all have that?
- 10:02Speaker 3: Well, in the nicer places that I rarely go to.
- 10:04Speaker 1: But they do put an attendant in there.
- 10:06Speaker 2: They do sometimes offer that those types of services.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Only time a man has offered me a mint and
- 10:11Speaker 1: a bathroom because he was paid to do so, and
- 10:14Speaker 1: expecting a tip for dolf, here's a peppermint, you expect
- 10:18Speaker 1: a five after that. Okay, that those guys are great.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I respect the hell out of those guys that have
- 10:24Speaker 1: to stand in that bathroom for hours seeing drunk people
- 10:28Speaker 1: come in and make all kinds of noises and smells,
- 10:31Speaker 1: and I give them their props. So yeah, but no,
- 10:33Speaker 1: that's the only time I've ever been offered anything, even
- 10:36Speaker 1: offered a conversation in a bathroom probably was with an attendant.
- 10:39Speaker 2: An attendant, okay, all right, And then the last one
- 10:41Speaker 2: they have here is giving someone a bandage. So again
- 10:44Speaker 2: it's like us women, we've got basically pharmacies in our
- 10:47Speaker 2: purses half the time. And so from hair makeup, accessory
- 10:50Speaker 2: comments to band aids and emotional support, it really actually
- 10:55Speaker 2: runs the gamut. But I feel like it is so common,
- 10:58Speaker 2: and I do think you're right. The more it tends
- 11:02Speaker 2: to be in a bar where people have been drinking,
- 11:05Speaker 2: where people.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Let down their guards. Isn't that interesting though?
- 11:08Speaker 2: Like we will ignore people and will feel too I
- 11:12Speaker 2: don't know, you don't want to overshare. Maybe you've just
- 11:15Speaker 2: got your guard up, or you just don't feel comfortable
- 11:17Speaker 2: conversing with someone you don't know, But suddenly you have
- 11:19Speaker 2: a couple drinks and everyone's your best friend.
- 11:22Speaker 3: I wonder what that is.
- 11:23Speaker 1: But isn't it different for women as well? You will
- 11:25Speaker 1: have a I don't know, a different connectivity when it
- 11:28Speaker 1: comes to an intimate environment like that. I mean, women
- 11:32Speaker 1: can sid across the room from each other and judge
- 11:35Speaker 1: each other and talk is to each other. But those
- 11:37Speaker 1: two same women, you put them in the bathroom, and
- 11:39Speaker 1: some kind of way you OL's guards go down. When
- 11:41Speaker 1: you end up in I don't know, it's something you
- 11:44Speaker 1: all get into an intimate women only space and it's
- 11:47Speaker 1: almost like you all are very supportive and protective of
- 11:50Speaker 1: each other. In public, it can feel like something else.
- 11:52Speaker 1: But yes, I get it, that makes sense.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I had never really considered that space as a special
- 12:00Speaker 2: space where you actually dissolve social barriers because you're standing.
- 12:06Speaker 2: I guess maybe it's a private thing to do. And look,
- 12:09Speaker 2: this could be one of the reasons why. Look, there's
- 12:11Speaker 2: a lot of reasons why people don't like the all
- 12:13Speaker 2: gender bathroom, and there's a lot of reasons why people
- 12:15Speaker 2: love the idea of it. First of all, all that
- 12:17Speaker 2: talking happens because we have to wait so damn long
- 12:21Speaker 2: for a stall, because you know, the women's line is
- 12:25Speaker 2: usually three times longer than the men's line, So we
- 12:27Speaker 2: have a lot of opportunity to have a conversation in
- 12:30Speaker 2: a private setting that would be very different if men
- 12:33Speaker 2: were there.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Sweetheart, Well, the best example we've happened recently when we
- 12:38Speaker 1: go to Broadway shows. That is when sometimes the line
- 12:41Speaker 1: can get long, long line of men, long line of women.
- 12:45Speaker 1: We're not over there talking to each other. We're not
- 12:48Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that. Yes, I've been in line, long
- 12:50Speaker 1: lines men waiting on the bathroom. I am not chatting
- 12:53Speaker 1: it up with anybody that is humm, I'm thinking about
- 12:56Speaker 1: the bathroom line. Right before you run a marathon, right
- 12:58Speaker 1: before you do longline dudes, ain't talking.
- 13:03Speaker 3: That's funny. All right, Well, when we come back, they
- 13:05Speaker 3: actually have.
- 13:06Speaker 2: In this survey the number of or the percentage of
- 13:10Speaker 2: people who walked away meeting a stranger in a public
- 13:14Speaker 2: restroom with a lifetime lasting friendship.
- 13:18Speaker 3: We'll give you that data when we come back.
- 13:29Speaker 1: All right, we continue here on Amy and TJ. Robes
- 13:32Speaker 1: taking us through the latest data on women where they
- 13:36Speaker 1: have their best conversations. Yes, it is in the bathroom,
- 13:38Speaker 1: public bathrooms, oftentimes with strangers, been going through and explaining
- 13:42Speaker 1: one thing. Robes, I want to go back to you, jumped.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I wanted to interrupts when you talk about oftentimes women
- 13:49Speaker 1: crying in the bathroom. Oh, yes, you have seen that girl,
- 13:52Speaker 1: You have been that girl. Why are you crying in
- 13:53Speaker 1: the bathroom?
- 13:54Speaker 2: Usually it has to do with a relationship or a friendship.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Someone said something that upset you. Your boyfriend didn't do
- 14:01Speaker 2: something he was supposed to, Your friend just upset you
- 14:04Speaker 2: by offending you whatever, and you've been drinking and now
- 14:08Speaker 2: you're just at your wits end. You go into the
- 14:10Speaker 2: bathroom to try and collect yourself, but tears start flowing
- 14:13Speaker 2: as soon as you get some privacy, and another woman
- 14:15Speaker 2: walks in and says, oh.
- 14:16Speaker 3: My god, what's wrong?
- 14:17Speaker 1: Did someone offer you help?
- 14:18Speaker 3: Yes, they want to know what's going on. They want
- 14:20Speaker 3: to help.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Was I the one you want to date with at
- 14:24Speaker 1: the timing? You? So you have not cried in the
- 14:26Speaker 1: public bathroom during our relationship.
- 14:29Speaker 3: I have not cried in a public bathroom during our relationship.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Now, Okay, that's really all we need. Please let's continue
- 14:35Speaker 1: with the episode.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Wait, but didn't you have a story about having your
- 14:38Speaker 2: conversation with the woman?
- 14:39Speaker 1: This is crazy. I think I've told you this before.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Is one of my favorite bathrooms. Wait, I don't have
- 14:43Speaker 1: any bathroom stories. Your only bathroom story Vegas MGM Grand
- 14:49Speaker 1: This private party but in the open area of the
- 14:52Speaker 1: casino before the Paquiao Mayweather fight of all time. I'm
- 14:58Speaker 1: in there with my friend. We had to go to
- 15:02Speaker 1: a bathroom. This is an actual restaurant, but they just
- 15:05Speaker 1: have this private event packed with all these celebrities left
- 15:08Speaker 1: and right. It was amazing robes, but the bathroom situation
- 15:11Speaker 1: was jacked because you all had to line up in
- 15:14Speaker 1: one hallway to go to the men's or the women,
- 15:17Speaker 1: so men and women were in the same line.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Had to finally understand what it's like to be in
- 15:23Speaker 2: line with women waiting for the restaurant.
- 15:25Speaker 1: I did, but I had no problem that this was
- 15:28Speaker 1: the lady that I ended up talking to. As I'm
- 15:30Speaker 1: drinking a vodka with a splash of cranberry, the woman
- 15:34Speaker 1: in line right behind me reach so grabs my drink,
- 15:38Speaker 1: start sipping it, and we just started chatting it up.
- 15:41Speaker 1: She said, Man, this line is crazy. See the left
- 15:43Speaker 1: and the right. Why they got us in the same line.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Have a full on conversation with Alison Jenny.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Oh, I love Alison Jenny. But she just took your drink.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Alison Jenny took my drink in the bathroom line. Didn't
- 15:56Speaker 1: introduce herself, didn't I don't know what she knew who
- 15:58Speaker 1: the hell I was. I was with see no ABC
- 16:01Speaker 1: at the time, and started drinking and I sat. I
- 16:03Speaker 1: had a long conversation with her the entire time. I'm
- 16:07Speaker 1: waiting to go to the bathroom. That is my only
- 16:09Speaker 1: bathroom story.
- 16:10Speaker 2: See it involved a woman and I a strong woman.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Now did she think maybe that was her drink? Or
- 16:15Speaker 2: did she know she was taking your drink?
- 16:16Speaker 1: I have questions? It was in my hand.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Oh that is hilarious.
- 16:19Speaker 1: It's not a table situation, sweetheart. We are in our
- 16:22Speaker 1: bathroom line. And yes, as I'm in the bathroom line,
- 16:25Speaker 1: doesn't it make sense I'd still have my drink. I'm
- 16:27Speaker 1: still drinking. Notice, sweetheart, I was leaning up against the
- 16:30Speaker 1: wall chilling and Alison Janny and I talked in the
- 16:32Speaker 1: bathroom line. That is my only bathroom story, only bathroom conversation.
- 16:36Speaker 1: And it was with.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Alison Jens, a woman. I wanted to ask one more
- 16:40Speaker 2: follow up? Yeah, maybe two. But the other one is
- 16:43Speaker 2: did she give you the drink back?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, we shared it?
- 16:45Speaker 3: Okay? And do you remember what you were talking about?
- 16:48Speaker 1: Nothing?
- 16:49Speaker 3: We were I think small talk. That's fifty eight percent,
- 16:51Speaker 3: is it really? Yeah? Fifteen?
- 16:53Speaker 2: The most thing is small talk is just fun. Like
- 16:56Speaker 2: they say, you talk more, women talk more. At least
- 16:58Speaker 2: whoever is there ending in the women's bathroom line talks
- 17:01Speaker 2: more in the bathroom or heading into the bathroom. Then
- 17:04Speaker 2: people do it happy hour, like when you when you
- 17:06Speaker 2: have a work event and you've got this forced happy hour.
- 17:08Speaker 2: They say that sometimes that's difficult that people report having
- 17:11Speaker 2: better conversations in bathroom lines in public restrooms than they.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Do at a forced happy hour type.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Of there's no pressure, there's no pressure choosing to and
- 17:20Speaker 1: you also know this is going to end. You know what.
- 17:25Speaker 2: That is such a good point. I hadn't even thought
- 17:27Speaker 2: about that. You have an exit, yeah, immediate, and you
- 17:30Speaker 2: can get away.
- 17:31Speaker 1: If this doesn't go well, Oh well, as soon as
- 17:34Speaker 1: I flush and wash my hands, this relationship is over.
- 17:36Speaker 3: That is funny.
- 17:37Speaker 2: So all of these, all of the numbers and the
- 17:41Speaker 2: percentages that came out of this study all made sense
- 17:44Speaker 2: to me except for one. This one I actually was
- 17:47Speaker 2: really surprised by. So they say just seven percent of
- 17:51Speaker 2: women report having these you know, deep soul bearing conversations.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Okay, that's I understand. It's a small number.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Twenty one percent of women walking away from a bathroom.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Conversation with a lasting friendship.
- 18:06Speaker 2: This is someone who they met in the bathroom, who
- 18:08Speaker 2: was a stranger before they got into the bathroom, and
- 18:12Speaker 2: it ended up becoming a lasting friendship. Twenty one percent
- 18:15Speaker 2: of women report that That is shocking to me.
- 18:19Speaker 1: That's shockingly weird.
- 18:21Speaker 3: What where'd y'all meet in a bathroom?
- 18:24Speaker 1: I've actually heard nobody tell that story before. Why would
- 18:27Speaker 1: you are you serious?
- 18:28Speaker 2: You would just name the restaurant or the bar, and
- 18:30Speaker 2: maybe you wouldn't point out that it actually the friendship
- 18:33Speaker 2: happened in the bathroom.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Okay, maybe that's the way you start in the bathroom,
- 18:38Speaker 1: you end up having a drink together at the bar
- 18:40Speaker 1: kind of a thing.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what, because a lot of times
- 18:42Speaker 2: these bars places, these public restrooms, when you go out
- 18:44Speaker 2: of the bathroom, it's loud, there's music, there's the chatter
- 18:47Speaker 2: when people are drinking rises many many decibels. So when
- 18:51Speaker 2: you get into the restroom, it's quiet and you can
- 18:53Speaker 2: actually talk, and so I can see how that happened.
- 18:56Speaker 2: I just was surprised that twenty one percent of the
- 18:59Speaker 2: time they had a lasting friendship come out of a
- 19:02Speaker 2: public restroom meet cute.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Basically, I would love if they asked these same questions
- 19:08Speaker 1: of men.
- 19:10Speaker 3: It would be a very boring survey.
- 19:13Speaker 1: That is my bathroom. I don't think I've met anybody
- 19:16Speaker 1: in the bathroom much. Let's get a friend out of it.
- 19:21Speaker 1: I got shorted by Alison Janny. I wish we would
- 19:23Speaker 1: have stayed in touch.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Oh well, anyway, we hope you enjoyed this conversation and
- 19:30Speaker 2: maybe it spoke to you and you're among the twenty percent.
- 19:33Speaker 2: You should call your friend who you met in the restroom,
- 19:35Speaker 2: because apparently that is a special, special friendship.
- 19:38Speaker 3: All right, And with that, everyone, thank you for listening
- 19:40Speaker 3: to us. I made Robock alongside TJ.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Holmes.
- 19:43Speaker 3: We will talk soon.
